The South Dakota Supreme Court is the highest court in the state of South Dakota. It is composed of a chief justice and four associate justices appointed by governor and selected from five different appointment districts. Justices face a nonpolitical retention election three years after appointment and every eight years after that. The justices also select their own chief justice.
The Supreme Court of South Dakota serves as the final appellate court in the state, reviewing the decisions of state circuit courts.[1] The Supreme Court is also authorized to issue original or remedial writs and provide advice to the governor regarding the scope of executive powers, then six in 1884, and eight in 1888.
In 1889, the Dakota Territory was split into North Dakota and South Dakota, and the Territorial Supreme Court was formally dissolved by President Benjamin Harrison. An election was held in South Dakota to select the first state supreme court. Justices Dighton Corson, Alphonso G. Kellam, and John E. Bennett were elected and sworn-in October 15, 1889. Since there was no capitol building yet for the new state, the oath-taking ceremony took place on the Hughes County courthouse veranda. The court was forced to use the county courthouse until 1891 when they began holding court in the state legislature's senate chambers. The South Dakota Supreme Court did not receive their own chambers until the autumn of 1905.
In 2002, Judith Meierhenry was appointed by Governor William Janklow as the first woman Supreme Court Justice. She served until her retirement in 2011.

about me
Live..Laugh..Love!! Live Life to the Fullest & Every Day like its your Last!!
Thanks for stopping by!!So a little about me. Thought Id start with a few adjectives Spontaneous, independent, carefree, determined and funny (sometimes even hilarious)
Life's short and so I try to make the most of every day! And the way I see it, you only get what you put in For this means finding that balance between working hard to toward achieving my goals and taking time to enjoy life with everything it has to offer me!
I have an appreciation for the simple things life has to offer especially spending time outdoors whether its playing sport, watching a sunset at the beach or even spending a balmy Perth night taking in the view of the skyline from Kings Park.
I enjoy keeping fit and so going to the gym (usually 3 -4 days a week) is an important part of my weekly routine. I also play mixed netball & indoor beach volleyball socially with a group of friends which I l really enjoy as I get a bit of a workout and a catch up with mates at the same time.
Passionate about music and cooking, these are my strengths I sing play the piano and have a great appreciation for generally all music. I find it immensely difficult to pass up opportunities to cook up a storm! I love and look forward to cooking meals for my family, friends and colleagues
In other news, I'm a very goal focused and driven person & give 100 % to try to do my best whenever I can! I'm currently working within the banking and finance industry as well as studying in a similar field at Curtin University..
Overall, these activities above generally help me to stay out of trouble ( most of the time anyway ha ha )
So go on.. Say hi! You know you wanna!!
Maybe we can start with a chat ? See how things go.. What next from there?? Well right now.. that's anyone's guess!

Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. (NASDAQ:ROIC)
The perfect stock for today's volatile market in my opinion.
1. ROIC is sure to benefit from the FED's commitment to lower rates.
2. There is no better time to buy property than in a depressed market like the one we are stuck in.
3. Low Beta (.2) provides defense against the coming recession.
4. Healthy dividend (4.4%) which other analysts have speculated will increase in the future.
And those chartists have to love that slow steady climb. This has been one of the most consistent stocks I have observed in this exceptionally volatile market. I have already initiated a position and I plan to purchase more shares before the year ends.

Verizon prepares 15 still unannounced phones for release
We got our hands on a document showing the product line of Verizon Wireless for the whole 2007 and there are plenty of new phones in there! There are photos of both already available phones and of ones that are still not announced even by the manufacturer. Here they are:
The Motorola Q9m and Q9c will be the CDMA-version of the Q9h and the successor of the Q which is still available with Verizon. The successor of the original Q has redesigned keyboard, very similar to the one of the Q9h (the 3G GSM Q) which we think is the best in the class. The Q9m is the Customer edition and will be available first, probably before the month is over. The Q9c is the Enterprise edition and will be available in Q4. Both are based on WM6 Standard Edition but have minor differences, explained in the table. Like the old Q, the Q9m and Q9c have 1.3-megapixel camera and miniSD slot, instead of 2MP and microSD found on the Q9h.
UTStarcom SMT5800 will be another new WM6 Standard phone. Information on it has already leaked but it still hasn't been shown officially, but the facts show it has both numeric keyboard on the front and side-sliding QWERTY, like the Vox S710. The Libra SMT-5800 has 2MP camera,128MB flash/64MB RAM, is upgradable to EV-DO Rev.A and should be available in October.
The Samsung i760 has been known for months now, but the document shows it will come in September. Like the SMT5800 it has numeric keyboard and side-sliding QWERTY, but has touch-sensitive display and so runs on WM6 Professional instead of Standard.
The UTStarcom XV6800 is the Verizon's version of the HTC Mogul, a EV-DO WM6 Professional phone (upgradable to EV-DO Rev.A) with 256 MB Flash/64MB RAM, WiFi, microSD and 2MP camera. It should come in October and replace the Apache (XV6700).
But let's make it clear: Windows Mobile is not the only platform for Verizon's smartphones! Palm Treo 755P will bring Palm OS to the carroer, in sleek form with internal antenna and with 320x320 pixels display. The exact version of the OS is Palm OS 5.4.9, the camera is 1.3megapixels and it supports EV-DO. The documents shows November as the release date.
RIM BlackBerry 8130 is the CDMA/EV-DO version of the Pearl but it comes with upgraded specifications, compared to the GSM variant. The camera resolution jumps from 1.3 to 2-megapixels with flash. The multimedia capabilities are improved with Stereo Bluetooth and 3.5mm standard stereo jack, while the slot for memory is again microSD to keep the dimensions pocket-friendly. Combine this with the well-selling design of the Pearl and you will see that the 8130 is clearly positioned as multimedia-friendly smartphone.
As not all people are happy with the big, bulky and camera-less 8830 when they want a global-phone, the Motorola Z6c Jackques will come right at place. It is EV-DO CDMA slider (we are not sure if it will be RIZR or ROKR labeled) that also supports GSM-networks that are required for overseas usage. Its specs also include 2-MP camera, microSD, speakerphone and Bluetooth but the Z6c will probably have similar functionality to the Z6tv, except for the TV features of course. The Z6c should come in November, while the Z6tv has the "Second half" as a release date.
The Verizon CDM-8630 comes with simple UI, large keys and 3 dedicated buttons for one touch dialing. It is clearly targeted to the entry-level market. It should come in the second half of the 2007.
Two mid-level clamshells should come before the end of the year. The Samsung SCH-U410 will probably be successor of the U340, featuring similar clamshell design with oval shape. The LG VX5400 will respectively replace the VX5300.
Also expected in the second half is the LG VX8350, a minor upgrade of the VX8300 with even more-oval shape, redesigned external music keys and internal antenna. We don't get the idea of this phone, as LG already has offered the VX8600 and VX8700 which look way better.
In addition to the SCH-U700 which we exclusively showed you a few days ago, Samsung will also offer the SCH-U900. The U700 will be slim clamshell with 2MP camera while the U900 will have 3-megapixel resolution and probably high-resolution camcorder. Both Samsungs, together with the V9m are listed also for second half of 2007.
Verizon's upcoming phones for 2007:

Wow! That's all I'll say!

This is VERY good news for Verizon... things have been slow all year on the phone release front for them, they've put out only 14 new phones in the first eight months of '07. If the article is true, they're set to exceed that over the final four months of the year. Guess all the folks complaining about no new phones will finally be happy.
3. (unregistered)
These look great! But why are there still no simple samsung bar phones? The Mot L7C does not satisfy the bar standard. They need to get something like the Wafer or Trace.
4. verizon customer (unregistered)
It's about damn time! Considering Sprint has had their version of the XV6800 for months now and AT&T has the iPhone! If there's one thing that Verizon totally and completely SUCKS at is their phone release and selection!
65. (unregistered)
wow first of all watch your language!!!!!! second of all SUCKS is the wrong word to use its stinks. and second of all your weird
67. ??? (unregistered)
woudn't it be 3rd of all you're wierd??? hmm
5. (unregistered)
mind you many of these phones (like the XV6800 and the Sammy i760) are LAST YEAR's technology, they were released more then a year and half ago and only now is Verizon releasing them. Guess it took them this long to figure out how to lock people out of these phones...
6. (unregistered)
How do you not get the idea of the 8350? It will be in competition with the lower priced high-end phones, like the Samsung u540, RAZR, SLVR, etc.
7. (unregistered)
Is there any news about the HTC TOUCH in CDMA?
8. Doug on Maui (unregistered)
Sorry Verizon, I'm not impressed. Where's the LG Prada? Where's the iPhone killer? Where's the phone that will surf the net with a vga screen at high speed? I love the network, but am rarely impressed by the phones.
64. unknow (unregistered)
yes i agree with you verizion needs to get new phones i don"t like them and i think we need to get the LG Prada phone..and the iphone why did"t verizon take that phone it was the best thing that could of happend to the company!!..we need the PRADA LG PHONE!!!!
9. new cell (unregistered)
When will the RazR2 come out?
10. Joe (unregistered)
Another poster pegged it right...Verizon is just too late to the show with these offerings. They've been promising the XV6800 since last November! So it's being released a year late. The Broadcom suit hurt them, but they should have reconciled it sooner. I am a former Verizon customer that got tired of waiting and defected to AT&T and the 8525. The 3G network is great and while I still see some of the GSM RF anomalies I never had on CDMA, at least I have the phone I want and one I can use worldwide as well.
11. new cell (unregistered)
I would dump VZW in a second except for the fact CDMA is better than GSM in the US. It's been proven so many times with my associates... At least in Las Vegas :)
12. Alan (unregistered)
yes!!! i havent renewed my contract for a couple of months hopeing for new phones to come out!!! yesssss!!!!...i hope one comes out like the enV but better!!!!
13. (unregistered)
Doug on Maui... The iPhone killer is ITSELF, nothing needs to be introduced to do that. A QVGA smartphone that surfs at high speeds, well, I hope you weren't comparing to the iPhone there, since EDGE is FAR from high speed. LG obviously hasn't offered the Prada for CDMA yet. Do you have the idea that Verizon produces the phones? That obviously is not the case. They can't just tell LG to produce whatever they want them to produce.
14. beach (unregistered)
i am just pleased to see the pearl finally a blackberry with a camera and not to mention a pda wit vcast
15. (unregistered)
your phones only as good as the network its on
16. Afura (unregistered)
Like Anon said, Verizon may tell them what they want, but I'm sure they can't dictate everything. Slow releases? Maybe because the manufacturers have to adjust the equipment to CDMA spec's, handset issues, or they have contracts not to release similar models to competitors (like the VX8500/8550 Chocolate). Just guesses, but that's what I assume. Waiting for the new BB, yay for camera!
17. Jay (unregistered)
I spoke with a Verizon sales rep and was told the 8350 will have a very important improvement over the 8300, as will ALL new phones coming out from Verizon: no more lousy UI! They've had so many complaints, especially regarding text being too small to read, that all new phones coming out now have much larger text and more varied UIs in general -- though ALL have larger text than before... According to the sales rep. This, for me, alone takes it from deal-breaker with the 8300 to deal-maker with the 8350. This may also be a big reason why there's so many new Verizon phones slated for the second half of '07.
18. carl d (unregistered)
what are the price ranges for these phones? also, what if i'm looking for a multimedia phone and i have to use verizon? i dont want the lg enV because it's like a year old..are the UTStarcom SMT5800 or the Samsung i760 or UTStarcom XV6800 good choices if i don't want to use the business aspect?
19. Mike (unregistered)
Is Verizon going to release that phone Prada from LG. It works like a iPhone?? If so when? Or not? I heard there was a issue with the Qchip? If the Prada comes out this year I will stay with Verizon if not I am going to ATT. I have a LG enV and I am looking for a phone like the iPhone - I have to say Verizon has lost its touch - it is no longer releasing phones better than other companies? What is up with management?
20. (unregistered)
the I760 will smash a Iphone my friend has Iphone and has envy when i do things he cant with my Samsung I730 he cant search his phone dir he cant get google traffic and Verizon is not AT&T THANK GOODNESS
21. Matt (unregistered)
Verizon has more than twice as many customers as Sprint. They let sprint try out the phones and deal with the bugs in beginning, have the manufacturers fix them, then release the phones. Remember the first Razr with Cingular? That phone sucked soooooo bad. The Razr2 is available on Verizon's website right now!
22. (unregistered)
The VZ 5800 and VZ 6800 are manufactured by HTC, not UT Starcom.
23. Al (unregistered)
I saw the Razr2 Commercial last night for verizon! pretty slick! ...
24. lee (unregistered)
just got this phone, not too happy so far.. had the 8600 and it performed well. Reception isn't very good, yes no anteana.. Where's the external speakers? and the camera flash??? also the bluetooth is choppy. the phone feels cheap in your hand, all plastic! if i drop it by accident it's a gonner!
25. Matt (unregistered)
Verizon wireless has disappointed me too...Why would they hold out on these phones, I also heard a rumor they passed on the Iphone? When are they going to get their stuff together, or should I jump ship and stop expecting quality phones from the best network?
26. sln (unregistered)
The reason Verizons phones come out later than other carriers is because they have extensive testing to do. Verizon has very strict standards and when phones do not pass the tests, Verizon will postpone their release until the manufacturer fixes the problems. When the Razr came out, they were not planning on carrying it because it was not passing their strict standards in testing for phones. Customers complained so much that they decided to carry it, but then of course, everyone complained that it was a piece of crap. Thats because anytime there is a software issue and Verizon asks Motorola to issue a patch, they never respond. Verizon is still waiting for a patch on the Krzr to fix picture caller id and that phone has been out for a year!! The reason I know these things is because I work for Verizon.
27. MR WIRELESS (unregistered)
If you look a the LG website, lge.com(lg is the manufacturer NOT Prada for those who dont know), its specs say EDGE CDMA>> thats Sprint's and AT&T's...i'm pretty sure. But if you think for one second that Verizon isn't sick with it anymore... just search the VX10000, this is the answer and the end-all-be-all to the iPhone and the legacy started by the enV. Not only is that phone awesome, that's just a taste of what's to come in the wireless industry. For all the people always wanting more, just come to reality folks, you're going to buy a phone and within 6 months there's a better one. That's just how it works. Remember, "your phone is only as good as the network its on!"
28. cvs (unregistered)
puhleaaseeee verizon's phone selection sucks. always has always will. so y am i a customer? the only thing im gettin excited about is that xv6800!! I havent had a good verizon since my beloved vx8000 passed away :( STEP IT UP VERIZON CONSUMERS LOVE THE NEWEST GADGETS not the crappy crap they're pushing out these days. how depressing. The UI will probably suck too since they want to disable most of the phone's capabilities. smh. aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
29. cvs (unregistered)
What verizon cann do is let the consumers know what the hell is goin on. people like me are gettin pissed cuz other providers are letting their sh*t earlier and we're thinkin bout switching. I can appreciate and tolerate the attempts verizon are making for perfection however its only if I know what's going on! I'm assuming they are testing the xv6800 and its a lil buggy so they pushed the release date back? but yyyyyyyy didnt verizon get it and have all that situated b4 sprint pushed theirs out? if verizon has soo much money from their OVERPAYING consumers they can at least have more exciting exclusive releases!! I'm a techy geek girl and I flock towards the technology! come on! get me excited! the last phone i got was a p.o.s. so this htc phone better be WORTH THE WAIT!

What does "Second Half of 2007" mean? Is it just that they haven't pegged down sept/oct/nov/dec of 2007 ?
31. Carter (unregistered)
Both the 755p and the i760 have failed Verizon's testing, even after passing the FCC's. So they're both delayed another few months. argh. . . as soon as one of them makes it to the store, I'm switching from AT&T, but who knows when that will be. . .
32. (unregistered)
a freaking chocolate is a iphone killer!! the damn phone gets sensitive to heat, a friend has one and if the iphone is exposed to heat the phone does not work at all!! what tipe of sh**## is that?? not to mention all the other flaws; internal battery, EDGE!!! lol, no music downloads over the air, maps? lol (another joke, unlike verizons actual gps navigators), NO PICTURE MESSAGING!!!, and I swear I could go on and on... Thats why verizon declined apple's offer to place the iphone on their network.. so cingular,,, i mean, att took the sloppy 2nds and got the ,verry cool, but P.O.S. iphone.. ... oh yea, and about the taking forever to launch new (old) phones;; for the same reason why they took over a year to launch the razr when it first came out, and coinsidently verizon was the only company who didnt have to temporarily discontinue it and wait for the 2nd gen. .. I know the razr still sucks but not as much as the other ones, you get my drift... thats why I never chose a company purely for their equipment. But yea, for those of you who would rather go to other companies who sacrifice quality and service for pure profit and lie about "fewest droped calls" (freking joke!!) and fastest internet speeds (3G) fckin liars.. I'm sure you know what you are talking about..
33. duceinmist (unregistered)
Verizon's sales people told me on 9/14/07 that the SCH i760 & the XV6800 will both be out in November 2007.
34. Looking to Switch (unregistered)
A few of you have mentioned switching phones as if there isn't an early termination fee. I've been thinking about switching but I don't want to pay the 175. Does anyone know how to get around that or get that waived. Thanks for the info.
35. MR WIRELESS (unregistered)
got towww.verizonwireless.com/next hope ur excited!!
36. Remmik (unregistered)
If samsung and verizon spent millions on advertising like apple/at&t did foir the iphone, the i730 or now i760 would have been a bigger sucess. All bugs aside (WM5 is a joke on my i730 and ipone are already showing some of their bugs...which is rare for anything Apple), the smasungs can do far more then an ipod, business or entertainment). There's your ipod killer.

Engadget shows Verizon will be announcing the VX10000http://www.engadgetmobile.com/
tag/vx10000on Wednesday morning but this article mentions nothing of it. WTF?
38. Jay (unregistered)
Thank God! It's about time some new phones are coming out! But the biggest question is when is the Prada phone coming to Verizion? Soon I hope!
39. MR WIRELESS (unregistered)
do u read any of the other sh_t on here? no i will say this slow so u can understand...ready? ok...scroll up from your post and read my post it says all kinds of good stuff about the "Prada phone" basically at the moment with the technology specs that the manufacturer has released it's not looking like that phone is going to be on the Verizon network. But we are always the ones on top in the end no matter how you spin it. And let me just add one more thing...alll the people that come on this site and want to trash providers...dont waste your breath, most of the people on here will do the exact oposite of whatever you posted. If you had a bad experience MOVE ON and if you had a good experience thats great be a happy little customer and pay your bills on time then.
40. sdfgsg (unregistered)
Verizon did not go with the iPhone because it did not pass their standards. Verizon will NOT allow any phone on their network that does not have GPS.
41. Techie (unregistered)
We want the 6800. Stop playing with these "Next" phones and give the people what they want.
42. Tim (unregistered)
The Samsung i760 is now available on Verizonwireless.com. I think that I'm going to hold out for a few more weeks for the XV6800 myself.
43. TD (unregistered)
I am amazed to see how much people like to complain. Everyone talks about how all the other networks get the phones first. Let's take a step back and look at it though. The AT&T 8525 and Sprint Mogul, yes they got the design of the phone first. Who cares, it still only has WM 5.0, it's no better a phone than any of the other PDA's w/ WM 5.0. If your going to launch a new phone, change the OS. Verizon will launch the 6800 w/ WM 6.0. Verizon's 6800 will also have more memory than either of the other 2. Then there's the Treo. Who cares about the 680 or 755. Same ol' POS Palm software with the same issues as before, now just in a smaller package. Lastly the iPhone, I'm not stupid, it's a really cool device and has some inavative features. The deal is though is that it will only be the end-all be-all device for maybe 6-10 months. By that time some other amazing phone will have come out. The phone is only as good as the service that comes with it, and as far as reliability and speed Verizon cannot be matched.
44. Sammo or Bolo (unregistered)
I find that this whole article, after I read it, I found it's a disgrace on the advertising department of Verizon. These 15 phones are supposed to come out but yet they are so hell bent on advertising these 4 new phones. I mean, let me ask you this, what makes these 4 phones so hypable that these 15 doesn't get barely any airtime? Ok, granted the LG Voyager is supposed to be the headliner but then again, these other companies are being slapped in the face with the handsets they are coming out with. I mean look at the version of the HTC Mogul we are supposed to get. That is an amazing phone. Why is that not hyped up? The Samsung i760: Hot phone. How about that? This is horribly advertising on Verizon's part. I love the company but this is a disgrace.
45. truth (unregistered)
TD. I have Verizon, but let's not mislead people. AT&T newest phone is the Tilt which has Windows 6, Wifi, and GPS. This is the next generation phone to the 6800. So when you compare something, compare the right thing.
46. shane (unregistered)
haven't you people seen the ads? verizon wireless doesn't advertise that they carry the newest devices (although they have some great ones coming out). verizon wireless advertisements state "it's the network". what that means to me is who cares how pretty your phone is if it doesn't work on a decent network. and they ARE releasing an equivelant to the iPhone, it's called the voyager and it's better.
47. TD (unregistered)
Mislead people? I'm pretty sure I compared the XV6800 to the Mogul and 8525, not the Tilt. So when your correcting someone, make sure you read what they wrote and get your facts straight. Oh, as far as the comment on the Voyager being better than the iPhone, don't plan on it. Verizon will have a better phone soon, but that's not it.
48. Sammo or Bolo (unregistered)
Here's what I don't understand about the Verizon folks. They promote these 4 phones that are supposed to be the new wave of cell phones within the Verizon line up but yet, a phone like the Juke is not a Juke, it's a Joke. I am a loyal Verizon customer but honestly, it's not that good. The other 3 I like a lot. But when you just market these 4 phones, what happens to the other 15 phones still unannounced. A perfect example is the Samsungi760. Good phone. It came in quietly. How about the XV6800 or the U700? I don't think that it's fair to these other handsets and their companies to be marketed poorly. I am disappointed with Verizon's marketing. Now, if they were smart, I wouldn't have a problem with Verizon using the Voyager and Venus as the headliner phones but they should have included most of the phones in that "Next" site as well.
49. mk (unregistered)
Maybe I'm mis-reading the dialog between TD and Truth, but I believe the point Truth was making with the Tilt was it seems more advanced than anything Verizon has released(or is about to release)? In other words, both current releases. While the i760 interest me (WM6.0), some of it's features don't.....like it's 1.3mp camera. That's (very) old news. The Tilt has a 3mp, and that is 33% better than any of the new Verizon phones are offereng. At one point, I believe Verizon will have a better phone like you say, but it doesn't look like it's coming anytime soon. They already beat the competition when it comes to their network, how about a phone to at least keep up with the competition?
50. TD (unregistered)
I'm not arguing the fact that the Tilt is out and is the next gen of PocketPC. I've played around with the phone and it's a decent device. I do have to agree as well that the Sam i760 should have a better camera. I will argue that the Network behind the phone makes all the difference, not only in service but reliabil;ityof the product as well. Every phone will have some issues no matter how much testing or fixes they go through. I do know that the number of issues w/ Verizons phones versus other carriers is less. I know people that work in the cust serv dept of the 4 main carriers and they all agree. Verizon will probably always be a step behind on pda phone launches, but for me I'm willing to wait to get a more reliable device.
51. mk (unregistered)
I'm willing to wait for Verizon to release the device that I want as well, only because I've used 3 of the top 4 networks and Verizon was the best by far. I can see why people are frustrated to the point of leaving the network though...and it's simply because Verizon is behind their competitors when it comes to releasing newer phones....which in turn amounts to a very outdated phone by the end of a 2 yr contract. Their prices are also higher for equipment as well. When everything is said and done though, the service itself should out weigh any bells and whistles like TD says. I feel sorry for the folks who switch away from Verizon only to be disillusioned with the network they go to, especially since just about everything involves a contract of sorts.... I wish the other networks I have available to me were better, but they aren't close to Verizon. That is why it's important (at least)for me to wait this out, and try not to be impulsive.
52. john (unregistered)
Is Verizon Wireless going to carry Samsung SGH-P310 any time soon? What is the expected date?
53. (unregistered)
I think that Verizn's new phones are cool! I just bought a new VX-8550 Blue Mint Chocolate, and I think that I should have waited until the Venus came out today to buy it! I can't trade it now :(
54. mk (unregistered)
On the verizon website.... the xv6800
55. jp (unregistered)
Does anybody know when the release date for this HTC phone is? Verizon's press release said by the end of 2007...only 20 days left!

sry but so far the samsung p310 is a european/asian gsm phone
57. anonymous (unregistered)
i work for verizon and so i see customers everyday and i have to say that people are whinny babies if they cant get what they want....verizon works hard to make sure that the phone they are launching doesnt break within a day of having it like other cellphone companies...i used to have at&t and t-mobile and i had nothing but problems with them...i would rather wait a couple of months for a phone that was pushed back then have it now and possibly have something wrong with it. so grow up and stop whinning.

SILVER SPRING, Md, November 20, 2011 — When parents of quirky kids look for appropriate video media to teach social skills, they usually find two broad categories: traditional social skills videos that are often outdated or poorly produced, and mainstream children's television programming that often doesn't fit the bill because it is age inappropriate or the characters model bad behavior.
Enter Flummox and Friends, billed as "a smart, quirky show for smart, quirky kids," or, as creator and executive producer Christa Dahlstrom has called it, "a television program for nerd youth." Flummox and Friends doesn't exist yet, but Dahlstrom, along with co-creators Jordan Sadler and Liesl Wenzke Hartmann, hope to see it go live in 2012, by securing funding through a Kickstarter campaign.
Full disclosure here, Dahlstrom and Sadler are both people I consider friends, met through blogging and the online autism community. Further full disclosure? I laughed out loud when I watched their Kickstarter video. Check it out yourself.
Flummox will be a live-action comedy show that embeds ideas about social and emotional skills into the type of programming that kids enjoy watching. Dahlstrom says that she was inspired to create the show by watching her own son gravitate toward humor and story as a way of expressing himself, connecting to others, and learning. "Anytime he's engaged in something that makes him laugh, he's more open and more available to take in information," she says.
Furthermore, Flummox isn't asking kids who watch to change, and it isn't sending the message that they need to be fixed. "The characters on Flummox and Friends don't become any less quirky when they learn a new way of coping with a social challenge," explains Dahlstrom. "They get to keep being who they are and we try to show the world through their eyes—that these situations are weird and hard—and not make them into characters that need to be fixed."
The creators of Flummox have put a lot of work into preparing for their Kickstarter campaign. They've written several episodes and have gotten feedback from people in the education and entertainment fields as well as from parents and therapists. They invited people from a variety of backgrounds to watch a table read with the actors and give feedback on what was working and what wasn't.
Flummox is well researched project, largely due to the efforts of Sadler and Wenzke Hartmann, both speech-language and communication therapists. "We helped [Dahlstrom] determine what language to use to describe situations and to teach kids effectively, based on our years of experience with this population," says Sadler. "We also discussed the strategies we most wanted to see incorporated into the show—skills that we are teaching kids day in and day out were prioritized as target strategies. I know other therapists, parents, and teachers will also love the topics that the series will cover."
The show's target audience is elementary school aged children who are struggling socially, whether they have a diagnosis or not. "What's special about this show is that it is designed for the children and the adults in their lives so they can learn together," says Wenzke Hartmann. "Parents, teachers, and therapists will get a better understanding of the thinking patterns and emotional processes that children who struggle socially are working through, and will have real, concrete ways to support children in navigating these challenging situations."
The creators hope to see their program in any one of a number of outlets. They are looking at cable TV distributors as well as newer distribution channels such as original content on YouTube, Hulu, or Netflix. Regardless, DVD and episode guides will be a big part of their distribution to make sure that the content is available for families and the education market.
That said, the Flummox team is still looking for investors. The first step is to produce a pilot episode, which they are hoping to do via funding from Kickstarter. Kickstarter allows individual donors to make small contributions, which will hopefully add up to the $30,000 they are hoping to raise. They have until December 9 to raise that amount in the form of pledges. If they do, they get the money and will go on to produce the pilot. If not, none of the pledges will be collected. As of this column's publication date, they have raised more than $23,000 in pledges.
"There's never been a better time to get an idea out to an audience directly without going to ask permission from the typical industry and institutional gatekeepers," says Dahlstrom, adding about the Kickstarter experience," It has been energizing and humbling to see people responding this way. People are trusting us to pull this off—with their hard earned cash no less."
If they do pull it off, the pilot episode, inspired by Dahlstrom's son, whom she describes as "a young comedy nerd," will go into production in hopes that socially struggling children will be able to laugh and learn all at the same time.
"The show is a springboard for learning that's going to happen in the world, when parents and kids refer to the show, incorporate it into their play and their conversation in natural ways," says Dahlstrom. "The comedy isn't an add-on. It's the focus of the show. I would be perfectly happy if kids didn't realize they were watching a show about social skills."

Centered on a group of actors who are creating and rehearsing a play about what's been called the first genocide of the 20th century, it's meant to seem improvised but is actually scripted. There's much humor here, mainly pointed at the eccentricities of actors and theater itself, but as the play barrels toward an intense ending, racial tensions bubble to the surface. You can get a good overview of what it's all about from this review that ran in the New York Times in 2012. "We Are Proud to Present … " is directed by Dr. Anne Berkeley, stars a cast of students and features guest lighting designer Maria Shaplin, who won top honors for Best Lighting at the 2013 StarNewsMedia Wilmington Theater Awards for her work in "The Glass Menagerie."

A two-state car chase lands three people in jail.
It started at the Augusta Mall and ended in Aiken County where officers found drugs and stolen merchandise.
Auto theft, drug trafficking and fleeing from police are a few of the charges that stem from just a 20 minute ordeal.
"This is basically where it ended," explains Lt. Mark Lovering of the Richmond County Sheriff's Department. "I believe it's mile marker 7."
The chase began at the Augusta Mall, where the suspects, two women and one man, were seen loading a stolen car with stolen baby clothes.
The driver then led police down a dangerous path on at least seven of Richmond County's roads, smashing into multiple other vehicles along the way.
They wound up crossing the state line on I-20 before crashing their car.
The man's face was left with cuts and scrapes.
The impact knocked down a portion of the guardrail, but if it weren't for this barrier, more lives could have been threatened.
"This guard rail probably saved no telling how many lives on the other side because it kept the vehicle from going over it," Lt. Lovering says.
In addition to the stolen items, police say crack cocaine was also found on the ground near the area.
The suspects attempted to flee on foot, but were captured.
Because this chase ended in Aiken County, the three suspects were held at the Aiken County Detention Center until Richmond County obtained a warrant.
These two women and young man are facing a host of charges...drug trafficking, shoplifting, reckless driving and aggravated assault just to name a few.

The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI, pronounced reggie) is an effort to reduce total large power plant emissions in the region by 10% by 2019. The 10 states have an aggregate economy that would be the worlds 7th largest if they were an independent nation. If enacted, House Bill 1434 would place New Hampshire in the RGGI program and enable NH to participate in a market based cap and trade program. The primary goal of cap and trade is to allow the marketplace to determine how to best achieve the maximum reductions at the least cost.
The public hearing on January 10 is hosted by the House of Representatives Science Science Technology and Energy Committee and will start at 9:30 a.m. in Representatives Hall.
The Forest Society strongly supports this legislation as a first step in the larger task of reducing carbon dioxide emissions economy wide, and encourages Society members to present testimony to the Committee on January 10 or communicate directly with Committee members to express your support. Please also express your thanks to the bills primary sponsors: Rep. Naida Kaen, Rep. Suzanne Harvey, Rep. Richard Barry, Sen. Margaret Hassan, Sen Martha Fuller Clark, Sen. Peter Bragdon, Sen. Robert Odell and Sen. Sylvia Larsen.

Snow or no, here are some hot destinations for cool winter fun, regardless of the weather.
Downhill skiing in Michigan: Though not much snow has fallen, it's been cold enough for ski areas across Michigan to make snow. And, two programs offer skiers nice discounts: Discover Michigan Skiing and Ski Free.
More than 20 ski areas in Michigan are participating in Discover Michigan Skiing, which offers discounts to introduce new skiers to cross-country and downhill or snowboarding. The package includes a beginner's lesson, rental equipment and a lift or trail pass at $20 for cross country, $30 for downhill, and $40 for snowboarding.
To participate, visit www.goskimichigan.com and click on "programs," then Discover Michigan Skiing. From there, print a Discover Michigan Skiing Value Voucher, then call the ski area of your choice to register.
The program runs through Jan. 31 and is open to skiers ages 7 and older.
Get a Ski Free voucher with the purchase of a minimum of 10 gallons of gas at participating Shell stations in Michigan. The voucher is for a free lift ticket with the purchase of a full-price adult lift ticket at any participating Michigan ski area.
Be sure to get your voucher and receipt stamped while at the Shell station. Next, go online to www.skifreedeals.com to find a list of participating ski areas along with the days and times each will accept the vouchers.
After that, join a friend and hit the slopes.
Toboggan at Pokagon State Park: The refrigerated toboggan runs at Pokagon State Park, near Angola, take riders on a quarter-mile ride, often hitting speeds of 35 to 40 miles per hour.
Since the first track was built as a Civilian Conservation Corps project in 1935, tobogganing has been a popular attraction at the park.
Today, riders carry their toboggans up the stairs to the starting point on a 30-foot wooden tower.
Depending on crowds, riders might get one or two rides in an hour or as many as their energy allows them to climb the stairs.
The toboggan run operates Fridays from 4 to 9 p.m. (CST), Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., through Feb. 24. The run also will be open on school holidays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays, Jan. 21, and Feb. 18.
A rental toboggan must be used and costs $12 per hour and carries up to 4 people.
Pokagon State Park is about a 21/2-hour drive east on the Indiana Toll Road. Call (260) 833-2012 for more information or the latest conditions.
Skating at Deep River or Millennium Park is cool fun.
The rink at Deep River Water Park in Merrillville is now refrigerated, promising more days of good skating. Hours are 2 to 9 p.m. Thursdays, 2 to 10 p.m. Fridays, noon to 10 p.m. Saturdays, and noon to 9 p.m. Sundays and school holidays.
Admission is $5 for ages 14 and older, and $4 for under 14 or 62 and older. Skate rentals are available for $6. Spectator chaperones are admitted free.
Flanked by "The Bean" and the city skyline, Millennium Park, arguably, is one of the prettiest spots in Chicago.
The free McCormick Tribune ice rink is a delightful bonus.
Rink hours are noon to 8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, noon to 10 p.m. Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through about March 10.
Skate rentals are available for $10, but there is often a wait. Bring your own skates and you can glide past the line and onto the rink.

Madagascar's ousted president has said he is "confident" he will return home and suggested he could use force to achieve that aim.
Marc Ravalomanana, who fled to Swaziland when he was forced from office earlier in the year, made his comments in interview with Al Jazeera, broadcast on Thursday - his first television interview since he fled the country.
"There are two options - starting with the negotiations first, and I'm sure we can find a way to bring me back to my country," he told Al Jazeera.
"And then there [is] another option, if it is necessary to use it."
He said: "I'm confident we'll go back because I know the citizens in Madagascar right now and they need some leader. I'm the president - elected democratically."
President ousted
Months of protests at the beginning of the year led to Ravalomanana, democratically elected in 2002, being challenged and eventually ousted by Andry Rajoelina, a former mayor of Antananarivo, the capital.
Parts of the army mutinied in March, allegedly angry at being called on by the government to crack down on civilians.
Later, when Ravalomanana handed control to the military on March 17 - by which time opposition supporters had besieged his palace - they in turn handed the reins of power to Rajoelina.
But Ravalomanana insists that he retains some support from the army.
"Right now, not all the military [support Rajoelina] - there are some loyal military that support me. They are good, but they are threatened by this group of senior officials," he told Al Jazeera.
Violent protests
Rajoelina and Ravalomanana came to loggerheads in December 2008, when the government shut down Rajoelina's TV station, Viva TV, after it broadcast an interview with Didier Ratsiraka, Madagascar's exiled former president.
Timeline: Madagascar crisis Profile: Marc Ravalomanana Profile: Andry Rajoelina
In the following days, the burnt bodies of 37 people were found in the wreckage.
Rajoelina accused Ravalomanana's government of misusing state funds and, in a country where the majority of the population live on less than $1 a day, thousands rallied to hear him speak.
The crisis escalated further in February when police opened fire on protesters, killing at least 28 people.
More died in later clashes and, faced with increasing street protests, Ravalomanana resigned the presidency in March.
Political isolation
In Madagascar, Rajoelina has himself faced street protests from Ravalomanana's supporters and his administration has found little support internationally.
The African Union suspended Madagascar as a member and gave Rajoelina's administration until October to hold elections.
The development body includes Madagascar as a member, but the decision was made by Sadc's political and security "troika", made up of Mozambique, Angola and Swaziland, where Ravalomanana sought sanctuary.
In his interview with Al Jazeera, Ravalomanana called for investors to boycott the island nation while Rajoelina remains in power.
"It's not a good time for investors to come to Madagascar. We need investors, but not at this time," he said.
"This government is illegal."

Aanchal Munjal has entered popular TV show "Bade Achhe Lagte Hain" as grown up Pihu and the 16-year-old is nervous and hopes she too gets the same love and affection from the viewers that Amrita Mukherjee received as the younger Pihu.
"Bade Acche Lagte Hain", produced by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms, has taken an eight-year leap and Amrita, who played five-plus Pihu, has been replaced by Aanchal.
"I am feeling very nervous because younger Pihu (Amrita Mukherjee) was loved a lot... the whole of the audience love her (even now)," Aanchal said here Thursday on the set of the show "Bade Achhe Lagte Hain."
"I hope that they also accept this Pihu (me) and love her as much as they loved younger Pihu," she added.
Aanchal, earlier seen as Raavi in "Nayi Umr Nayi Chunauti-Parvarrish-Agla Padav", hopes to learn from senior actors like Sakshi Tanwar and Ram Kapoor, who play her parents in the show.
"I am sure I will get to learn a lot from Sakshi ma'am because whenever I have worked with senior actors, I have always picked up something from them," Aanchal, who has worked in films like "We Are Family" and "Aarakshan", said Aanchal.
"Sakshi ma'am is very humble, very down to earth and adorable," she added.

Dear Readers,
want to say all the best to her
For me, its worst casting ever...she is not a bit like younger one...doesn't fit into character at all...
You wish! We can never accept u as Pihu bcz for us Pihu means Amrita and only Amrita!
best of luck dear...dnt wrry u will also rock...qki bade achhe lagte hain...
Edited on:17 August 2013 at 5:35am
all the best aanchal every boby will accept as elder pihu
welcome anchal on this show...
I admit she's not that g8. But give her time. She is very young and her mommy and daddy are none other than Sakshi and Ram... <3
Wish u all the best Anchal...Looking forward to seeing u more onscreen
I cannot connect with Aanchal as Pihu at all. Miss Amrita to bits. Love her chemistry with Priya which was evident in the very first episode. The same chemistry with Aanchal isn't there. Really want this teenage drama to end and BALH to take another leap. I hate Khush, Aanchal was strictly okay. Of the twins Ashnoor was better than the other girl.
The only thing perfect about the leap is RaYa romance. Bring more of that and we can tolerate those kids.
Wooow people can really be so mean! Put yourself in her shoes!
It's official ekta has gone mad after 3 flops , evidence : this choice LOL

Catherine Jones sits outside her namesake restaurant, in Elmwood Place, Ohio. Jones understands the community's need to install speed cameras to quell speeding, but now she is among many small business owners worried that the cameras have given the village a speed trap stigma. (AP Photo/Al Behrman, File) by Dan Sewell ELMWOOD PLACE, Ohio (AP) — This little village had a big problem. Each day, thousands of cars — sometimes as many as 18,000 — rolled along Elmwood Place's streets, crossing the third-of-a-mile town to get to neighboring Cincinnati or major employers in bustling suburbs or heavily traveled Interstate 75. Many zipped by Elmwood Place's modest homes and small businesses at speeds well above the 25 mph limit. Bedeviled by tight budgets, the police force was undermanned. The situation, villagers feared, was dangerous. Then the cameras were turned on, and all hell broke loose.
Mississippi mayoral candidate, Marco McMillian (l) and suspect Lawrence Reed(r). (Courtesy Photo) by Holbrook Mohr JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — An autopsy report says a man admitted to killing a Mississippi mayoral candidate in February and that the victim died from lack of oxygen, but it doesn't give an exact reason for the death beyond calling it a homicide.

(AP Photo/The Clarksdale Press Register, Troy Catchings) by Holbrook Mohr Associated Press Writer JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Whatever his prospects for winning the coming mayoral election in his hometown of Clarksdale, Miss., Marco McMillian was considered by many to be a man on the rise. So word spread fast when his SUV was involved in a wreck this week, and he was nowhere to be found.

(AP Photo/The Sun, John Valenzuela) by Greg Risling Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) — He styled himself as a Rambo-like guerrilla, someone trained to outwit and outshoot the police at every turn, and while Christopher Dorner left no doubt he could be unforgivingly violent, when it came to keeping ahead of the law during his deadly rampage, he made one mistake after another. The last one — letting one of two people he tied up get to her cellphone and call police as he made off in their purple car — tipped authorities he was coming.

Read the full article at: http://www.laweekly.com/2012-09-13/news/LAPD-stingray-spying-cellphone/
[Excerpts] LA Weekly
by Jon Campbell
Suitcase-sized and portable, StingRays are used by law enforcement to track mobile phones in real time. The device electronically impersonates a cellphone tower and dupes the mobile phone into connecting through its own antennae.
Documents obtained by L.A. Weekly through the Freedom of Information Act show that the Los Angeles Police Department is quietly using the StingRay. (Police in Miami, Fort Worth and Gilbert, Ariz., also are known to have the devices.)
LAPD refuses to discuss how it uses the powerful tool, perhaps copying the FBI's playbook, which argued in the Rigmaiden case that revealing too many details would cause serious harm to future investigations.
The department, through a spokesperson, refused to comment on the device, despite repeated requests from the Weekly. Through the department's Discovery Unit, which handles requests from the public and media under the California Public Records Act, LAPD also declined to reveal any information on how the devices are used.
LAPD even refuses to say whether its detectives are required by police chief Charlie Beckand the Los Angeles Police Commission — all of whom are appointed by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa — to obtain a search warrant before the StingRay is deployed against unsuspecting L.A. residents' cellphones.
The FBI has argued that a search warrant is not required, a question at issue in the Rigmaiden case, and one that Beck's people refused to address.
But LAPD is using the devices.
Documents obtained from the Inspector General's office of the Department of Homeland Security reveal that LAPD bought two so-called "IMSI catchers" around 2006. At the time, LAPD had "recently purchased a cellphone tracking system (CPTS) for regional, terrorist-related investigations." The records mention StingRay and KingFish, brand names for IMSI devices made by Florida's Harris Corp.
Separate documents show that, in April 2010, the Los Angeles City Council approved the purchase of $347,050 in additional "StingRay II" equipment — and paid for it with outside funds from the Los Angeles Police Foundation, a nonprofit group that supports police functions, over which the city has no control.

Comments about Personalized Classic Basketful of Notepads:
This is for a gift. The first order came back with the person's name on one notepad. Instructions should be more clear about how to have each one personalized. Had to reorder to get the names on all six pads. The paper is not of good quality. It is ok.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

him three times. Even His own fell short. At the moment He gave
up the ghost, the sky blackened, lighting and thunder crossed the
sky. The ground itself shook and in the holy of holies in the temple
the curtain was torn. Let us pray.
Those who denied Him, those who stood by Him, those who were His
enemies, and all the rest, are Redeemed. Lamb of God, Who takes
away the sins of the world, grant us Peace. Let us Rejoice.

Hi everyone it has been it has been a week since I last posted. I have been really strong and have had JAM who is almost twice my age on complete ignore. He still tries to engage me by saying hi or waving but I just walk on by. He pretty much just stares at me any chance he gets like when I am waiting for the bus it's creepy. I just keep ignoring it gets annoying like I wanna tell him to eff off but it wont do any good it will just feed his ego. So I just keep shinining him on I think he is getting angry about it but oh well. I feel stronger than ever and if he thinks he can try to intimidate or scare me he is wrong. I will continue to walk with my head held high and be the strong woman that I am.
Peace Love Andie

Jaime Hernandez: This is the last year in which the Mint released Kennedy Half Dollars in circulation. Beginning in 2002, it began selling the coins to collectors through bags and rolls only. This is why there is such a huge drop in mintage totals for the following year.
