Scott Benton has not received any gifts yet
Scott - I SO did not mean to ignore your message, but it never showed up in my email, and I still wouldn't have seen it, but I came here in response to another message that did.
I can't say that there was anything in particular that "turned me." I was clearly raised to believe the Christian credo - I recall as a small child, playing that I was "the devil," throwing bad people into hell.
I guess National Geographic had a lot to do with it - I remember reading stories about people in other parts of the world, with dramatically different religions, and I recall asking my mother, why, with all of the other religions in the world, do we know that ours is the correct one. Her answer was always, "Because it just is." I loved my mother, but that answer never really satisfied me.
So at the end of my Junior year of High School, I stole about 20 books from the library on various religions, Greek and Roman mythology, and such, and returned them in the Fall, having read them all over the summer. (Interesting story - I knew they would never let me check them out for the summer, as that just wasn't done, so I knew I'd have to steal them. Then I pondered how to do it. Hide a book in my pants? That meant at least 20 chances to get caught. So I hit upon a radical idea - I stacked all 20 on a table, picked them up, and carried them out right in front of the Librarian, who doubtless assumed I must have had a good reason, as no one in their right mind would steal 20 books from right under a Librarian's nose. Sadly she was right - oh, I got away with the books, but I can't honestly say I've EVER been in my right mind - really not sure what that is --)
Anyway, sorry I missed your message!

Frank Ocean's Debut 'Nostalgia, Ultra' to Get Commercial Release
Tyler, the Creator gave Odd Future its first big look on the charts with his top 5 solo debut Goblin, and now his fellow member Frank Ocean is following suit with his own commercial release.
After Def Jam held off on releasing his debut Nostalgia, Ultra, OFWGKTA's resident crooner took matters into his own hands, offering the album as a free download on his website. The online freebie became such a sensation that his label took notice and has decided to release it in stores.
Def Jam has pegged a July 26 release for the project, Rap-Up.com has learned. One of the tracks, the Tricky Stewart-produced "Novacane," will be released digitally to iTunes ahead of the album on May 31. It is currently unknown which songs will make the commercial release and if there will be new tracks added.
The 23-year-old singer-songwriter, who resides in Los Angeles, has been in the studio with Beyoncé, Nas, and most recently Swizz Beatz, who tweeted, "wow the man has real talent much respect to him 100%."Tweet

Itchen Stoke
Alresford, Hampshire, SO24 0QT
A most impressive period family house of classical proportion
Itchen Stoke Manor is located in the heart of the Itchen Valley, arguably one of the prettiest parts of Hampshire in fine, undulating countryside yet convenient for the Cathedral City of Winchester to the west and the Georgian market town of Alresford to the east. Each offers an array of boutique shops and everyday amenities. Itchen Stoke Manor is well situated to some of the leading pre-preparatory and preparatory schools in the area which include Pilgrims at Winchester, Princes Mead at Abbots Worthy, Bedales at Petersfield, St Swithuns School for Girls just outside Winchester and Twyford School to the south. In addition there is the excellent Perrins Secondary School at Alresford and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College in Winchester, not forgetting of course Winchester College itself. The property is well located for easy access to the national motorway network with the M3 to the west at Winchester or the A31 which in turn links to the A3 to the south east near Alresford. At Winchester there is a fast and regular mainline train service to London Waterloo taking approximately 60 minutes whilst to the north there is Micheldever station with trains going to London Waterloo also taking approximately 60 minutes. Southampton International Airport is located about 16 miles away whilst London Heathrow is approximately 50 miles.
Sporting facilities in the area include some of the finest chalk stream fishing in the northern hemisphere on the nearby River Itchen and the River Test to the west. Golf can be found at Avington, Alresford, Basingstoke and Winchester Golf Clubs. There are several bridleways and public footpaths in the immediate area that provide excellent walking and hacking country. Nearby sailing is available on the Solent with its many marinas and there is horse racing at Salisbury, Newbury, Ascot, Epsom, Goodwood and Fontwell. The theatre can be enjoyed at the Theatre Royal in Winchester and the Mayflower in Southampton as well as the Opera at The Grange in Northington near Alresford for the summer season.
Further Information
Itchen Stoke Manor is a most impressive period family house offering well proportioned classical accommodation over two floors with the additional benefit of a cellar. The house, which is believed to have been built in the late 19th century still retains many of its period and character features such as sash windows, open fireplaces, high ceilings with cornicing and other attractive features typical of the era. The property which has been extended during the current vendors tenure now also includes a superb attached annexe offering substantial two bedroom accommodation which offers great flexibility as it could either be incorporated within the house or separated for use by dependant relatives, au pair etc.
The ground floor accommodation is approached through a large and welcoming reception hall with doors leading into the family room, drawing room and kitchen/dining room. Each of these rooms are beautifully proportioned and of particular note are the large 32 foot drawing room with its superb aspect over the adjoining countryside and the extensive kitchen/dining room which provides superb living and entertaining space with doors opening onto the rear terrace. A further study completes the reception accommodation in the main house however there are extensive domestic offices which can be utilised for any number of purposes. A passage way leads from the western end of the house towards the superb annexe which, as already stated, has a large number of potential uses. On the first floor a staircase leads up to a large landing which runs the length of the house. The master bedroom with its adjoining bathroom are particularly noteworthy with superb views over the garden and down the valley. There are five further bedrooms and two further bathrooms on the first floor.
The property is approached over a gravel driveway which provides a parking and turning area to the front of the property. The gardens and grounds themselves extend in all to approximately 2.23 acres with areas of lawn, formal gardens, kitchen gardens, orchard and paddock. Immediately adjacent to the rear of the property is a large terraced area which extends out to the eastern side of the house and provides a superb sitting area which takes full advantage of the property's fine views. The formal gardens lead from here onto the kitchen gardens and ultimately through established hedgerows and an avenue of beech trees to the orchard and walled garden. Here can be found the swimming pool area which is well protected and private.
The paddocks to the property extend in all to approximately 3.4 acres, and surround the property on its eastern and southern boundaries.

Rex Ryan has cleaned out his officeJay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 1 day ago
Black Monday has come early to New York.
According to NJ Advance Media, New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has cleaned out his office at the team's headquarters. The Jets will be playing in Miami on Sunday, and it appears Ryan doesn't anticipate his tenure with the team will last much longer than the final horn.
Jets owner Woody Johnson has reportedly solicited the assistance of Charley Casserly in seeking out new candidates to replace Ryan and general manager John Idzik, and Casserly has apparently begun that search in earnest. When word got back to Ryan, he began packing up, according to NJ.com.
[Join FanDuel.com's $2.5M Week 17 fantasy league: $25 to enter; top 21,840 teams paid]
There will be much more to discuss about Ryan once his apparent firing becomes official. For now, this should make Sunday's game against Miami interesting from both an emotional and an effort perspective.
Titans coach knows fans want team to lose, possibly get No. 1 pickJay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 3 days ago
There comes a point for every NFL team that's pretty bad when they have to make a choice: just how bad do we want to be? Granted, the NFL isn't like the NBA, where tanking can get you a franchise-changing player, but when you've got the opportunity to hold the first pick in a stocked draft, how much are you willing to do to get it?
The Tennessee Titans face such a choice, and head coach Ken Whisenhunt understands that his fans' desires and his team's desires may not run in the same direction. The Titans want a victory, the fans want the opportunity to pick up a player who could get them many more victories down the road.
"From a fan's perspective, I understand that, but you want to win. That's what you're geared in to do," he said. "That's why we're in this business. We're trying to do that. I don't worry as much about that until the season's over, but I certainly respect their feelings on that."
Giants punter visits NYPD precinct, laughs about Christmas Eve drug test
It's been a lively couple of days for Giants punter Steve Weatherford. First, he spent a solemn hour before practice Tuesday visiting a precinct of the New York Police Department to offer support in the wake of last week's tragic shooting of two officers.
"What they do for us on a daily basis, I know it doesn't get enough credit," Weatherford said, according to the New York Daily News. "People don't say 'Thank you' enough for the times that they don't need the police because everything is under control and everybody is safe. It's a very thankless job, and I just wanted to go there and really just tell them 'Thank you for doing what you do for us, for putting your life in danger on a daily basis to afford us the safety and security so we can sleep peacefully at night,' and 'I appreciate everything that you do.'"
It was an honor to spend the morning with the #NYPD 18th precinct. Thank you for all you do. pic.twitter.com/PO4F2T0Z3x
Seahawks fan overcome with emotion thanks to Christmas gift from team

LeBron, Ronda Rousey, Ray Rice lead Yahoo Sports' most popular postsJay Busbee at The Turnstile 4 days ago
Millions of you visited Yahoo Sports this year, and we thank you for that. LeBron James, Ronda Rousey and Ray Rice were among the most notable athletes in 2014, but the overriding lesson might be: careful what you do at baseball games. Here are the most popular stories on the Yahoo Sports Blogs for 2014:
1. LeBron James violates royal protocol, puts arm around Kate Middleton during a photo (Dec. 9) Weeks before "The Interview" kicked off an international crisis, LeBron James nearly started one of his own when he (gasp!) put his arm around the British royal family's beloved Kate.
3. Fan who fell asleep during Yankees-Red Sox game suing for $10 million (July 7) Look, we get it: midsummer baseball can be boring. But if you do happen to drift off, don't blame the team or the networks for showing you catching some Zs.
And here are the next 10:
Congrats, Tyler Thigpen, you get to be a Cleveland Browns QBJay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 5 days ago
A Cleveland Browns season which began with glimmerings of hope that sparked into a bonfire has now dwindled to embers, and the man tasked with poking at the the last of the dying glow could be ... Tyler Thigpen.
Yes, the end result of the Great Hoyer-Manziel Debate is that both guys are pretty much useless at the moment, and so the Browns have brought back Thigpen, a member of the team during preseason, to serve as a potential quarterback. Also in the mix: Connor Shaw, the rookie QB who has spent the entire year on the Browns' practice squad.
Thigpen's signing comes a day after the franchise was reportedly spurned by Rex Grossman, who was with the Redskins last year along with current Cleveland offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. Grossman was with the Browns in training camp this year.

Tony Romo has deadly, painful aim when throwing footballsJay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 5 days ago
Ever wanted to catch a pass from an NFL quarterback? Careful what you wish for.
David Feherty is an esteemed golf commentator and a reasonably proficient athlete. But being from Northern Ireland, Feherty lacks a bit of the ingrained football knowledge that Americans have, so when he prepared to catch a pass from Tony Romo, well, it didn't go so well.
Romo, of course, is no slouch on the golf course himself, having played in many a professional tournament and attempted to qualify for the U.S. Open. He's sticking to his day job for now, though a few passes like that to Dez Bryant could put his status in doubt.
In any event, Hans Moleman is suitably impressed:
Try not to cringe too much at this one, friends.

Marshawn Lynch shakes off illness, sickens Cardinals with amazing runJay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 6 days ago
Marshawn Lynch spent the first quarter of Sunday night's game vomiting into a Gatorade bucket and scarfing down Skittles, according to various reports. Whatever he did, it worked well enough to inspire him to one of the greatest runs of the NFL season.
The game was already well in hand when Lynch ripped off this 79-yard beauty, a masterpiece that included speed, strength, stamina, will, and a good old-fashioned, flying-backward ... well, let's call it an "equipment adjustment."
The run marked Lynch's longest run from scrimmage, and firmly sealed a 35-6 victory over Arizona that put Seattle on a Super Bowl trajectory. Lynch finished with 110 yards and two touchdowns, and whatever strife exists between him and the rest of the Seahawks seemed far, far away.
After the game, buoyed by the victory and basking in the glow of a fine day's work, Lynch was friendly, forthcoming, and thoughtful. Ha! Just kidding.
He was as distant as ever, and he's only a few games away from repeating reporters' questions back at them word-for-word like an 11-year-old just trying to tick you off:
Ryan Lindley was awful and the Cardinals are in a lot of troubleJay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 6 days ago
Look, we're sure Ryan Lindley is a nice fellow, and his friends and family surely love him. But man oh man, was he awful on Sunday night against Seattle. And Lindley's troubles bode ill for Arizona's suddenly flimsy hopes to get out of the NFC.
Lindley, the Cardinals' third-string quarterback, was pressed into service after injuries to Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton. Facing Seattle's vicious Legion of Boom defense, Lindley came in with low expectations. Sadly, he didn't even meet those, getting pasted 35-6 and throwing a whole new load of concern onto the shoulders of Arizona fans.
There simply was nowhere for Lindley to go, and even when he had chances, he couldn't capitalize on them. He was 18 of 44 for 216 yards, and he took one sack and threw an interception. He wasn't the sole reason Arizona lost; a wave-as-they-go-by secondary didn't help. But Lindley remains the owner of a dubious NFL record: most passes without a career touchdown, now up to 225.
Lindley's rough game paled even more in comparison to the gem crafted by Seattle QB Russell Wilson. Late in the game, NBC ran the following graphic:

Mine squeaked SO loud when I first got it aswell, I figured I would post so you know what I did and so you know you are not alone.
Honestly I didnt do anything different, I just dealt with the squeak and about 2 days later of grinding chocolate it went away and I havn't heard it since. It just needs to grind itself out essentially!

Daily Grab Bag
Check back here for daily updates on injuries, closer battles, player news, and anything else that might affect your fantasy baseball team.
- Santiago Casilla owners can breathe easy as his injury from Friday night has been reported as a leg bruise. Sergio Romo picked up a one-out save last night and is a good short-term add for save-needy owners, but it looks like Casilla will be able to resume closing sooner rather than later.
- Dustin Pedroia swung the bat well in batting practice yesterday and will take swings again today and tomorrow as the Red Sox' second baseman targets a Tuesday return to the lineup. He's still not out of the woods yet, but it sounds like Pedroia will be able to avoid a stint on the disabled list for now.
- Carlos Lee has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a hamstring injury. There is no timetable for his return, but this doesn't sound like it will keep him out more than the the expected two weeks.
- Albert Pujols will see some action at third base when the Angels begin interleague games next week. Pujols already has one start at third and six more starts would put him three games shy of having third base eligibility in most leagues.
- Evan Longoria's rehab is reportedly progressing well and the Rays star is targeting June 15th for the start of a rehab stint. As long as everything goes as planned, Longoria could be back in the lineup by the end of June.
- Trout/Harper Watch: With two of baseball's best prospects being called-up recently, I'm going to dedicate this space to keeping tabs on the youngsters for the near future. Here's to hoping that you were able to grab one (or both)!
Bryce Harper: Harper went 1-2 yesterday. (.278, 21 R, 4 HR, 11 RBI, 2 steals on the season).
Mike Trout: Trout went 2-4 for a run and a stolen base yesterday (.315, 23 Runs, 5 HR, 19 RBI, 9 steals on the season).

Even before it slammed into the New Jersey coast, Hurricane Sandy had disrupted travel, halted stock trading, and forced thousands to flee to higher ground. Rated initially as a Category 1 hurricane (based on the five-pointSaffir/Simpson Hurricane Scale), Sandy still was, as President Barack Obama put it, "a serious and big storm." Its 90 mph winds spanned more than 900 miles across and the prospect of flooding and wind damage left New York City a ghost town as the East Coast awaited its landfall.

Will it ever be me?

I've had my regular pre-AF symptoms the last couple of days and I think she'll arrive tomorrow or Thursday. That means another failed cycle and an upcoming cycle on hold since DP will be on the other side of the country. I am getting extremely depressed and somewhat frantic feeling like maybe I won't ever get pregnant. I carry a sad feeling with me all the time, like I can't shake a feeling of dread. I hate TTC.
|Thu, 07-15-2010 - 12:53pm
Thanks everyone, for the words of encouragement and sympathy. I know most of you have been in your TTC journeys much longer than I have and have shed more tears, more emotional energy, more physical efforts, and more money than I have, so it means a lot to me that you are willing to offer such heartfelt support. Every passing cycle makes me sink deeper into despair that my journey will be harder and longer than I ever expected, or worse, never fulfilled.
AF just arrived, as expected based on my temps. Interesting that I O'ed 10 days late, but maintained my steady 14 day LP. At least I don't have to worry about a bad LP! I won't get to try this cycle because my DP is away on a long trip way too far to drive to, so I guess I will try to make the most of an off cycle, as much as I hate it. Losing some of the TTC-induced depression weight, drinking a couple of margaritas in celebration of summer, and not over-monitoring and over-analyzing every little twinge, fluid, or temp are a few things to look forward to at least. I believe my next cycle will involve a low dose of Clomid, so maybe that will make my next try my BFP cycle.
Thanks again ladies- I really do appreciate all of your support.
|Wed, 07-14-2010 - 7:25pm
I am sorry that you are feeling so sad and that you carry this sadness around with you.
|Tue, 07-13-2010 - 7:55pm
I am so sorry to hear you think AF is coming. Hopefully it is just pregnancy symptoms like the other girls said. It sucks because every day I think I am ok with this something else happens.
|Tue, 07-13-2010 - 1:44pm
I understand exactly how you feel. When DH and I started on this journey, we were so naive and just thought it would happen exactly when we wanted it to happen. Now, I'm not sure it will ever really happen. Then what? It is sad how all-consuming IF is... I am not the same person I was three years ago, but I know that it will all be worth it if we are blessed with a baby.
I'm sorry you are feeling so down, but remember it's not really over until AF rears her ugly head. I'll keep everything crossed that she never does.

I am sorry that you are feeling this way and AF is lurking around the corner. Have you taking a HPT? I know that pregnancy symptoms mimic AF symptoms. I know that each month we go through gets harder and harder. Keep your chin up and know there is a wonderful amount of support here that will get you through. I know personally I would not be able to keep going without this support. All of the ladies are an inspiration to me.

If you listened to music in the 1960's you heard some of the songs that Ellie Greenwich wrote or co-wrote during her illustrious songwriting career and it reads among early rock's elite. Songs such as "Chapel of Love," "Be My Baby," "Da Doo Ron Ron" and "Leader of the Pack," just to name a few, are instantly recognizable and certainly stand the test of time. Sadly, on August 26, 2009, Greenwich died of a heart attack at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital, New York City, where she had been admitted a few days earlier for treatment of pneumonia. She was 68 years old.
Greenwich was a native of Brooklyn and while she garnered her greatest success as a songwriter, Greenwich actually started out as a performer. She performed in talent shows as a child, and by the time she was a teen, she had her own group, called The Jivettes. Seeking an outlet for her singing, she began making demonstration tapes of other writers songs and in the early 1960s she was referred to as the "Demo Queen of New York."
While attending college, she met Jeff Barry, and shortly after graduation, began working for songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, where she got her big break. She had her first chart success with the Jay and the Americans song "This Is It," which she wrote with Doc Pomus and Tony Powers. In October 1962, Barry and Greenwich married, and shortly afterwards decided to write songs exclusively with each other.
Within a couple of years, the husband-and-wife songwriting team of Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich would be among the most successful and prolific of Brill Building composers. Greenwich and Barry also recorded singles and an album under the name The Raindrops, with Greenwich providing all the female vocals through overdubbing, and Barry singing backgrounds in a bass voice; releasing songs such as "What a Guy" and "The Kind of Boy You Can't Forget." The couple also wrote and recorded "Hanky Panky," which became a hit for Tommy James & the Shondells and the following year, "Do Wah Diddy Diddy," which was taken to the #1 by Manfred Mann.
She had a rich musical partnership with the legendary Phil Spector, whose "wall of sound" technique helped to change pop music. With Spector, she wrote some of pop's most memorable songs, including "Da Doo Ron Ron" and "River Deep, Mountain High." Some of Greenwich's finest compositions were supplied to Spector, including the Ronettes' "Be My Baby" and "Baby, I Love You," "Then He Kissed Me" and Darlene Love's "(Today I Met) The Boy I'm Going To Marry." She also worked closely with the Red Bird label, owned by Leiber, Stoller, and George Goldner, providing such hits as the Dixie Cups' "Chapel of Love" and "People Say" and the Shangri-Las' "Leader of the Pack," (years later, Broadway would stage a Tony-nominated musical with the same name based on her life).
Even after the couple's divorce, Barry and Greenwich continued to work together for much of 1966, partly due to Greenwich's discovery of a talented singer-songwriter named Neil Diamond. She and her ex-husband turned to publishing and production work in the mid-1960s and during these years Greenwich reigned as one of New York's top demo/session singers and vocal arrangers, working with artists ranging from Dusty Springfield and Lesley Gore to Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra. One of her most exciting sessions was re-arranging the background vocals on Aretha Franklin's "Chain Of Fools" and working with Cissy Houston and the "Sweet Inspirations." She did studio work for her ex-husband as well, singing backgrounds for Andy Kim and The Archies. It was during one of her many demo sessions, Greenwich met and "discovered" Neil Diamond and went on to co-produce all his early hits such as "Cherry, Cherry" and "Kentucky Woman," doing background vocals as well.
Changes in popular music led to a drop-off in productivity by the late 1960s, but she revived her career by focusing on radio and television commercials through her firm, Pineywood Productions. In the early 1970s, Greenwich wrote advertising material for Ford, Cheerios, Prince Albert Tobacco, and other companies. She also contributed vocals to jingles for the likes of Beechnut, Clairol, Coca-Cola, Noxzema, and Helena Rubenstein.
In recent years Greenwich has worked with Desmond Child, Nona Hendryx, Cyndi Lauper and Paul Shaffer, among others. In 1984, "Leader Of The Pack," a show about her life and music, opened at New York's The Bottom Line. The success of this show led to a 1985 Broadway run at the Ambassador Theater, where it swept up an extraordinary trio of honors: A Tony Award nomination for Best Musical, a Grammy nomination for Best Cast Album and The New York Music Award for Best Broadway Musical.
Greenwich's songs have earned her over 25 gold and platinum records and sales in the tens of millions. Ellie Greenwich was inducted into the Songwriters' Hall Of Fame in 1991 and her music will be heard and appreciated for generations to come.
"Ellie Greenwich was one of the most important people in my career. She discovered me as a down-and-out songwriter and with her then-husband Jeff Barry co-produced all my early hits on Bang records," said Diamond in a statement. "She has remained a great friend and mentor over the years and will be missed greatly."

McINTOSH, S.D. – (DRG News) A Mobridge man who died in a boating accident Friday night in Corson County has been identified by authorities. Corson County Sheriff Keith Gall says the man has been identified as 67-year-old Danilo Figuracion. Gall says Figuracion was a passenger in a boat operated by 57-year-old William Gant of Mobridge. The two were traveling northbound on the river, in a boat powered by a 75 horsepower tiller operated motor. An investigation shows that something happened while the boat was traveling at around 28 mph, which caused the motor to flip to a 90 degree turn. The action of the motor caused the two men to be thrown from the boat. Gall says Gant and Figuracion tried to swim to the pillars of the Highway 12 Bridge and that is the last time Figuracion was seen. The men were not wearing life jackets. The unoccupied boat continued spinning in circles. Unsuccessful attempts were made to stop the boat, until it was decided to just monitor the boat until it ran out of fuel and came to a stop. Gant was able to swim to one of the bridge pillars where he was rescued by two young men who were in the area bow fishing. Gant was transported to the Mobridge Regional Hospital and treated for minor injuries. A search continued throughout the weekend for Figuracion using methods including patrolling the water, side sonar and a high tech sonar system operated by the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department. On Sunday afternoon, Gall says a clear image was captured on sonar and divers from the Pierre Dive Rescue Squad were able to successfully retrieve Figuracion's body in water that measured more than 50 feet deep. About 12 different agencies worked over the weekend to look for Figuracion, including the Corson and Walworth County Sheriff's Offices, Mobridge and Selby Police Departments, South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks, Standing Rock Game and Fish, Standing Rock BIA Law Enforcement, Mobridge and Standing Rock Ambulance Services and the Pierre Fire Department's Dive Rescue Team. An investigation into the incident continues by the Corson County Sheriff's Office and the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department.

Current Articles
From U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance
-- The Nebraska Senate passed Legislative Bill 690 on February first by a vote of 46-1 for the third and final time. LB 690 creates an apprentice hunter education exemption certificate, which allows an experienced hunter to take a newcomer hunting before completing a hunter education course. The measure also lowers the deer hunting age for mentored youth from 12 to 10, allowing parents and mentors to share outdoor traditions with tomorrow's hunters.
In Virginia, companion legislation continues to move forward. SB 617 passed the Senate by a vote of 39-0 while HB 1175 passed the House by a vote of 98-0. The companion bills would create a 2 year apprentice license to allow newcomers to take to the field with a licensed adult hunter prior to the completion of hunter education.
"These measures go a long way to ensure the future of our nation's outdoor heritage and conservation efforts," said Bud Pidgeon, USSA president. "Through the apprentice hunting experience newcomers can learn the necessary tools to safely experience and enjoy the outdoors for years to come."
In Indiana, House Bill 1046 creates an apprentice hunting license allowing resident or nonresident newcomers, who are accompanied by a licensed adult hunter, to hunt for 3 years prior to the completion of a hunter education course. HB 1046 passed the House on Jan. 24 by a vote of 89-1 and awaits additional hearings in the Senate.
Finally in Wisconsin, Assembly Bill 672 had its first hearing before the Assembly Natural Resources Committee. The bill would establish an apprentice hunting license for those 10 years old and higher, while also removing an archaic ban on allowing youth under 12 to target shoot. The measure passed out of the Assembly Natural Resources Committee on Jan. 30, with overwhelming support.
To date, 21 states have already enacted Families Afield style bills.
The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance is a national association of sportsmen and sportsmen's organizations that protect the rights of hunters, anglers and trappers in the courts, legislatures, at the ballot, in Congress and through public education programs.

Norad Chooses Bing to Track Santa's Sleigh: Hot Trends
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include Norad as the U.S. military command center has partnered with Microsoft's (MSFT) Bing to track Santa's sleigh this year.
Since 2004, Norad has been offering its Santa tracker service online using Google (GOOG) Earth and Google Maps. But now, a Norad spokesperson said the two companies have gone their separate ways, and Bing is now providing the mapping software being used in the tracker.
As for Google, the company will still be following Santa's sleigh this Christmas Eve.
"This year a team of dedicated Google Maps engineers built a new route algorithm to chart Santa's journey around the world on Christmas Eve," said Google Maps executive Brian McClendon.Both Web sites offer smartphone apps where Santa's sleigh can be tracked as well. Norad's service is available for Apple iOS and Windows 8, while Google's is only available for Android. According to Norad, Santa usually begins at 0900 GMT at the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean on Christmas Eve, and travels west. Norad has been tracking Santa since 1955, when a Colorado Springs store ran an advertisement for a special telephone line to call Santa that accidentally included the phone number for the director of operations at Continental Air Defense Command. Conad, which later became Norad, obliged and offered children updates on Santa's position -- and has each year ever since.
Apple (AAPL) is trending after inside sources at a Japanese blog claim that Apple is working on a fifth-generation iPad. Japanese blog Macotakara, which has a reputation for making accurate predictions about Apple products, said the next generation iPad will be thinner and lighter than its predecessors and will feature elements included in the new 7-inch iPad mini. The blog states that the tablet's dimensions are expected to be 4mm x 17mm x 2mm and it is expected to debut in March 2013. The blog also said that Apple is working on a production trial of the second-generation iPad mini with improved Retina display.
Boeing (BA) is another popular search. The plane-maker is testing its in-flight Wi-Fi system with none other than potatoes. The company's researchers reportedly decided to use potatoes because they "interact" with electronic signals in a similar way that the human body does. Boeing loaded passenger seats on a decommissioned plane with huge sacks of potatoes for several days as the tests were done. Engineers performed tests checking signal strength in order to try to achieve the strongest possible Wi-Fi signal when airborne as possible, while still meeting safety standards that prevent Wi-Fi from interfering with the plane's electrical systems. Boeing said the potatoes were the perfect stand-in for people who otherwise would have had to sit motionless for days as the tests were done. The company's researchers called the project Synthetic Personnel Using Dialectic Substitution, or SPUDS.
The chatter on Main Street (a.k.a. Google, Yahoo! and other search sites) is always of interest to investors on Wall Street. Thus, each day, TheStreet compiles the stories that are trending on the Web, and highlights the news that could make stocks move. -- Written by Brittany Umar.

about me
Insert witty comment about myself...here!
I love to watch a film that gives me goose bumps, read a book that inspired the mind and look at art that provokes all sorts of emotions. I am a very, loyal and heart warming kinda gal - love and respect my family and those close to me.
Although i may not look it, Im fairly goofy and a proud geek! Its also very easy to make me laugh.
I absolutly love my work and Im fully dedicated to anything I turn my mind to ('Crossbow' is the nick name at work - I always aim true and hit my target). I work in TV so the hours can keep me crazy busy but I will always take time for friends and family or just for myself.
Just came back from traveling around Scotland and Ireland and absolutely LOVED IT! Plan next trip to Europe again soon.
In my spare time I just love 'creating' things, whether it be a drawing, a new song, or baking some crazy food combo in the kitchen. End result may not always be what I intended but hey I think if its worth giving things a go especially if it gives you a buzz, then go for it!
I do appreciate the smaller things in life. I like to think of myself as down to earth, but I must admit I like to be swept off my feet now and then ;) and although I can be a very sociable person, I can tend to be pretty introverted at times - but hey, there is nothing wrong with being alone with your thoughts and contemplate the meaning of life ;)
Of course it would be great to share all the wonders that life can offer with someone else.

Nariko is the primary protagonist of Heavenly Sword and the wielder of the weapon of the same name.
Early Life
Nariko was born to Shen and her unnamed mother 23 prior years to the events of Heavenly Sword in the Year of the Fire-Horse. According to prophecy, a male was destined to be born that year and lead her clan into an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity. However, when a girl- Nariko- was born and her mother died shortly thereafter, the clan believed the gods had forsaken them, and that they were cursed and doomed to impending destruction. Nariko became a pariah among her own people, when, in her eyes she "should have been their princess." Shen was the only person who seemed to care for her, albeit in remote, distanced way, until Kai. Shen would tutor Nariko in the ways of the warrior. She would prove to be an excellent pupil, to the point where she is the best fighter in the clan by the events of Heavenly Sword. Several years before the game, Nariko came across Kai, the last member of a clan slaughtered by Flying Fox on orders from King Bohan. The clan took the orphaned girl into their ranks and treated her as one of their own. It was Nariko, however, who developed a deep relationship with Kai, seeing similarities between them in that they both lost their mothers and were outcasts amongst the clan. By the time Heavenly Sword takes place, the two are as close as sisters, willing to risk their lives for one another, if necessary.
Events of Heavenly Sword
At the beginning of the game, Nariko is fighting the onslaught of Bohan's military, slaying any soldier that comes into contact with her. This stage, which reappears in a later Chapter, teaches the player how to attack and use Superstyles, specialized combos that deal damage to large amounts of enemies. Eventually, a red haze will form around the game screen, and a heartbeat can be heard; this indicates that Nariko is near death. The following cutscene depicts Nariko surrounded by enemies, with Bohan looking on in the background. During this scene, Nariko narrates, stating that her clan believed the Sword was forged by the gods for the gods, and that no mortal can wield it without losing their life. This statement is proven to be correct, as runes from the Sword begin to overtake her, sapping her health until she finally succumbs to the Sword's immense power. Bohan sends the Raven King to retrieve the sword, and Nariko passes on, saying that, "the pact is at the end." As she lies dead on the ground, a white light imbues the ground beneath her body, and the camera pans out to the sky above, where she continues to narrate. Nariko's spirit is transported to an otherworldly realm, which is later revealed to be the Heavenly Sword's version of Purgatory; it is also the game's main menu. The following cutscenes featured in this realm are flashbacks of the events that transpired over the course of just five days, relayed in Chapters.
Chapter One- Five Days Ago
After a heated monologue with the Sword, players begin the game in earnest Five Days Ago, in the scene The Art of Battle. The beginning cut scene features Nariko describing King Bohan and his war against her clan in her opinion. Bohan seeks the Heavenly Sword, and with it, his control over her people. Nariko and clansmen have fled his might for months, but she explains that they "cannot run forever." Kai, Shen, Nariko, along with the rest of the clan barricade themselves within a fortress, in the hopes that they will be able to hold out against Bohan's rapidly advancing army. Nariko feels that the fort is a trap, while Shen, the clan leader and Nariko's father, disagrees, leading to a brief but definitive argument; this quarrel is one of several times the characters will come into conflict. The clansmen proceed to bar the doors, to no avail; the enemy soldiers begin scaling the walls, and Nariko must hurry to help her kinsmen. It is at this point that players assume control over Nariko in a level for the first time. Players are introduced to interacting with the environment (X button), combos, the Glyph Meter, Blocking (automatic against Speed Attacks), Counters, Heavenly Pots (which restore Health as well as adding to Glyph Meter), and much more. Players also receive much more insight about her life from Nariko through her narration, as she reveals that she fears that her father holds her to blame for the clan's curse and the death of her mother. After the defeat of Bohan's soldiers that day, Shen tasks Kai, the clan's best archer, to keep watch for the night, with her responding excitedly, calling it, "Twing-Twang". That evening, Bohan's soldiers attempt to sneak into the fortress, in an effort to slaughter the clan as they slumber. Players control Kai and are introduced to "Aftertouch", the ability to guide arrows and other projectiles to a target in Heavenly Sword. If the players just so happen to miss a target or two during this level, Night Attack, players will assume control of Nariko, who will proceed to clear out the stragglers with her Longsword. She then says (presumably to Bohan) to give the slain soldiers a dignified burial, and the game goes to cutscene. Nariko gives the player more info on her life, this time explaining that she must now protect the Heavenly Sword, and that her life will change forever.
Chapter One- Four Days Ago
Nariko is featured the following morning being called to arms by her father. After climbing the ladders and heading up to the balcony, Shen explains that the clan is escaping, and that it is Nariko's task to cover them as they go. This initiates the scene Dawn Siege. Bohan has reinforced his troops with catapults, and Nariko must use the fort's cannon to destroy them. There are three total, which you must eliminate before completing the second half of this stage. The contraptions are relatively easy to hit; weak points on the catapults are marked with orange shields. Players can use the Aftertouch ability to guide cannonballs to their desired destination. Once the three main shields have been dealt with accordingly, a fourth shield will appear in the middle of the catapult. Hitting this will cause the catapult to collapse. A timer will appear, which displays how long it is before Bohan's forces overrun the fortress. After the catapults have been destroyed, Shen will explain to Nariko that she will need to cover their backs with cannon fire, but to also remember to head east with the Sword if she sees catapults. Now not only is there a timer, but also a kill count, depicting how many of Bohan's soldiers need to be slain before continuing the level. The counter is also quite easy to fill; a large contingent of Bohan's men will start heading west and cross right in front of the fort, meaning the player can easily rack up the necessary body count to proceed. Once players complete this stage of the scene, Nariko will spot a catapult in the distance, and, heeding Shen's words, makes haste to escape. She manages to desert the fort just seconds before it is set ablaze by the war machines, and begins heading towards the eastern cliffs. Nariko continues through the forest, dispersing of any of Bohan's soldiers that may stand to get in her way. Along the way, she will spot a raven roosting on the top of a gate as she makes her way through, which plays into the storyline later in the game. Finally, she reaches a clearing, where she discovers that her father has been captured by Bohan and a nearby bridge has fallen into disrepair, making escape impossible. With little choice as to what she has to do, Nariko, despite the warnings of her father, unsheathes the Heavenly Sword and wields it against Bohan's army. Nariko is able to use the Sword in one of three modes: Speed Stance, Power Stance, and Range Stance, whose attacks are indicated with different colors (blue for Speed, orange for Power, etc.). Nariko hacks and slashes her way through three waves of Bohan's soldiers, much to Bohan's chagrin. However, Nariko soon realizes that she can't defeat the onslaught of Bohan's men, and so in an almost suicidal act of desperation, she sheathes the Sword and hurls herself off the cliff.
Chapter Two- Three Days Ago
Nariko awakes to find Kai caring for her, as her adopted sister had found her while she made her own separate escape. Kai informs Nariko that Bohan has captured Shen and the rest of the clan, and Nariko vows to save her father. Over the next three scenes, Nariko hacks and slashes her through Bohan's men, leaving a trail of bodies in her wake before finally reaching Flying Fox.
