I dont get flu shots, started out that i just dont go seek medical attention so didnt get one, but then i noticed that the people who got the shots, seemed to spend the most time off sick, i swear flu shot people are worse than ex smokers, or cyclists, with the holier than tho attitude.
My neighbour is the worst one, both him and his wife gave me **** for not getting the shot the week they got theirs, 2 weeks later when i next saw him, after his bought with pneumonia i asked how that flu shot was working for him, he said its the 3rd time in the last 4 years hes gotten sick within 2 weeks of getting his shot.
Yup ill be rushing to get my shot, i dont care if it works great for 99% of the people that get it, of the people iknow that get it, 75% have gotten the flu that season.

HINDMAN, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky State Police are investigating after six goats were found shot to death in Knott County.
Farmer Randy Bates told WYMT-TV the family noticed the animals were missing from their farm in the Kite community on Saturday morning. They went searching for the animals and found them at a creek. Bates said all six had been shot in the head.
Bates expressed dismay at the crime and said it must have been about hate.

For the second time in less than a year, The New York Times Magazine has identified a major addictive trend that does not involve drugs. In this case, it is junk foods (the previous example was mindless games). A science writer friend of mine wasn't impressed: for her what is called "addictive" simply represents standard (if insidious) product development and marketing practices. After all, weren't potato chips addictive well before modern food science arose?
I had a different reaction. As the author (with Archie Brodsky) in 1975 of Love and Addiction, where I identified advertising as being based on the principles of addiction (telling you that you need a product in order to live a satisfactory life), where I called television viewing addictive, and where I specified compulsive gambling as an addiction (soon to be recognized as such in the new edition of the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5), I watch the growing recognition that addiction is not limited to certain drugs, to drugs at all, with intense interest.

Samsung to depose Jony Ive, other Apple designers
Samsung is set to depose Jonathan Ive and other Apple designers by December 1st. The depositions are in preparation for the July 2012 trial that will decide the outcome of the plethora of lawsuits the two companies have filed against each other. Originally the depositions were supposed to be done by mid-October, but Samsung's lawyers asked for an extension due to the lack of witness availability. Samsung told the judge that "Mr. Ive is unable to sit for deposition before November 1 for personal reasons." The three other people being deposed all had similar reasons for being unavailable.
In addition to Ive, Samsung is set to depose former Apple color materials manager Doug Satzger; industrial designer Shin Nishibori, who is named on the MacBook Air and iPhone 4 patents; and Christopher Stringer, whose name Edible Apple points out has been appearing on Apple patent filings "for years."

Can I flavor Toba Garrett's glace with something? I really don't care for the flavor (I don't like powdered sugar). I tried adding some vanilla extract but it didn't really seem to improve the flavor. I've never used lorann's but thought about trying it. I also saw somewhere that someone uses flavored coffee creamer as the liquid.

This is a developing story - check back for updates.
Updated 12:49 p.m. with more on Judge Zagel's remarks, 1:19 p.m. with more detailed quotes, 2:01 p.m. with Blagojevich's reaction
Former Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison - becoming the fourth Illinois governor in 40 years to be sent to prison.
Reporting by Illinois Public Radio's Sean Crawford used in this report.
Illinois has a reputation not only as a hotbed for public corruption, but also as a place where high ranking officials are prosecuted for misdeeds. Former U.S. Senator Peter Fitzgerald, who is known for his clashes with the GOP's old guard, is partly to thank for that.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Survivors of gun violence are expected to be among those participating in a Nashville rally on Wednesday to support legislation to expand background checks for gun buyers.
The rally is part of a national effort by the group Mayors Against Illegal Guns to continue raising awareness to the issue of gun violence in America.
A measure to expand background checks has failed in the U.S. Senate.
Gun violence survivors scheduled to attend Wednesday's rally include Steven Barton, a survivor of last year's movie theater attack in Aurora, Colo., and Tammy Sommers, a survivor of the July 2008 shooting at Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church.
The event will be held at the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park and is set to start at 10 a.m.

your favorite debate of 2011 No favorite
do you make new year resolutions or goals I always set goals, but not specifically at New Year's time.
what are your plans for NYE No plans so far. I am toying with the idea of making dh go out, although he hates it.
|Thu, 12-29-2011 - 3:58am
LOL, but you are wrong. It is really that since people who pay with a CC can't really be paying their kids' tuitions, she is sore for having been called out on lying about paying for her kid's college. Apparently I am also just making up that I am paying for dd's college, since I also pay her tuition with a CC. Never mind that it is an online payment system and that if I insisted on paying by bank transfer it would be a huge hassle and would cost me 40-50 bucks for the transfer.
|Thu, 12-29-2011 - 4:00am
Blech! It is many years ago by now, but my dad pulled a similar stunt. Not a good time. I am sorry for what you are going through.
|Thu, 12-29-2011 - 8:16am
also wrong were the ideas of why people might want savings accounts for their children.
|Thu, 12-29-2011 - 11:21am
The fact that different people manage their children's savings, as well as savings for their children, differently, does not mean that it is "wrong"
|Thu, 12-29-2011 - 11:53am
But some plans are objectively and factually better. Playing tuition with a cash back credit card, and paying the balance off before interest is incurred is a smart, financially savvy move.

Politically and strategically, the United States achieved an important symbolic victory in the death of bin Laden. I remember well the night of Sept. 11, 2001, when our congregation put aside a previously scheduled event to pray for those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks. Targeting the innocent in the name of a radical political agenda can only be defined as evil.
Jesus said "love your enemy, do good to those who hate you, pray for those who persecute you." This way is not a comfortable way, for it presses us beyond our natural instincts of vengeance and toward a higher ethical standard more in tune with the prophet Isaiah's vision of a world where "nations shall turn swords into plows and learn war no more."
We are not there yet. But I am not content to let bin Laden's death be the final word. It is far too easy for the understandable desire for justice to morph into hate, vindictiveness and self-righteousness — the very things that have led others to acts of terror and atrocity.
In 1939, theologian Reinhold Niebuhr wrote that "men are not completely blinded by self interest or lost in the maze of historical relativity. What always remains with them is not some uncorrupted bit of reason, which gives them universally valid standards of justice. What remains with them is something higher — namely, the law of love."
It is my prayer that we not lose sight of that higher law. It is my hope that communities of faith will not shy away from the sometimes inconvenient and often unpopular insistence that politics and strategies not be allowed to have the final word as we struggle to live lives of relevance and hope in an imperfect world.

Cafe Du Monde - New Orleans, LA
Between Jackson Square and The Mighty Mississip' sits Cafe du Monde, which has been serving up sweet treats and caffeine tourists and locals alike in the same location since 1862. Cafe du Monde's menu is short and sweet: square French-style doughnuts called "beignets," fried to order and mounded with powdered sugar, plus NOLA's iconic coffee and chicory (black, au lait, or iced), milk (white or chocolate), OJ, and, a few sodas. Open 24-7 (with the exception of Christmas day and hurricanes), there's no time of day that isn't packed at Cafe du Monde.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Some regional leaders say it could bring peace and much-needed tax revenue, but both they and supporters of the drug war are missing the real problem.
Girls walk past a soldier on patrol in Guatemala / AP
Last week, the president of Guatemala joined former and current presidents of Colombia and Mexico in expressing interest in considering the regional legalization of the drug trade. The U.S. State Department immediately expressed its disfavor, but the question is out in the open now. The issue of whether to legalize drugs -- and thus reject the U.S. model of "war" against drugs -- threatens to consume the next Summit of the Americas, an April meeting of Western Hemisphere Heads of State in Colombia.
It is easy to see why. The drug war has been a disaster for the Latin American countries fighting it, especially Mexico, and Central Americans' suspicion that legalization could be less painful and costly is reasonable. Whether or not legalization would in fact be a good thing for Central America, the situation is desperate enough that they must at least consider their options.
Since Mexico declared its own war against drugs and drug cartels in 2006, over 50,000 civilians, police, journalists, judges, and soldiers have died. Several cartel kingpins have been arrested or killed, but organized crime is as potent as ever, and there's no indication of a significant drop in the volume of narcotics flowing into the United States. And the Mexican state is suffering mightily for its effort. Despite years of training and hundreds of millions of dollars in police and military modernization and professionalization, there are still episodes like Tuesday's jail break in Nuevo Laredo, where prison officials appear to have helped Zetas cartel gunmen kill 44 inmates -- all members of a rival cartel -- and help 30 Zetas escape. It's depressing.
In Guatemala, the drug war looks even worse. The Guatemalan national budget for public security is $420 million and its military budget is $160 million. The value of the narcotics smuggled through Guatemala each year is in the range of $40 to 50 billion -- about equal to the national GDP -- and that does not include the money made from smuggling weapons, people, and other contraband. In just three years, it appears that the Sinaloa and the Zetas Mexican cartels have come to control as much as 40 percent of the country's territory. They grow poppy, process cocaine and methamphetamines, and run training camps for their new recruits, who include members of Guatemala's elite special forces unit.
Guatemala and other Central American states are understandable worried their drug wars will come to resemble Mexico's, but with far fewer national resources to support the fight, much weaker police and military forces, and far less help from the United States. In 2011, the U.S. gave $180 million to Mexico for military and police assistance, but only $16 million to Guatemala and around $6 million each to Honduras and El Salvador.
So, naturally, the option of legalizing the drug trade, and thus avoiding a further drug war, sounds appealing. Though the Guatemalan government hasn't presented any specific idea or plan, the conventional interpretation would be to legalize personal drug consumption as well as small batch sales and to tax them; to focus on drug use prevention and treatment, instead of criminalizing addicts; and then to focus security efforts against organized crime and violence, instead of constantly watching for, chasing, and interdicting drug shipments.
Supporters of drug legalization argue that it would do three things for Central America. First, it would create new tax revenues for countries that badly need them. Taxes on drugs could go to these countries' under-resourced police forces and their prosecutorial, judicial, and penal systems. The U.S. State Department argues that legalizing drugs would do nothing to reduce organized criminal activity in money laundering, extortion, kidnapping, counterfeit goods, etc., but this overlooks the key issue of resources. Drug legalization would, if done right, mean more resources for the state to put toward anti-organized crime operations.

Arkansas Business And Agriculture Leaders Push For Immigration Reform
A new study by the Partnership for a New American Economy suggests labor shortages are increasing the reliance on imported produce and slowing economic growth in Arkansas.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday, heads of chamber of commerce groups, the Arkansas Farm Bureau and the Economic Development Commission, said it shows the need for the U.S. Congress to pass meaningful immigration reform.
The study (which can be downloaded here as a PDF) says more fresh produce is imported into the U.S. today than ever before.
"This report mirrors what we have heard from our members and businesses, as well as elected leaders across the state, that our existing immigration system unnecessarily strains our ability to grow the economy to compete and bring new business and industry to Arkansas," said Randy Zook, president and CEO of the Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce.
Beau Bishop, who leads national affairs for the Arkansas Farm Bureau, said often Arkansas growers can't find enough people willing to do the back breaking labor needed to get produce to market.
"In some instances, farmers are left to leave crops in the field due to a lack of labor force. Immigration reform needs to be something Arkansans embrace because our economy and our future for farming depends on it," Bishop said.
But it's not just low wage jobs. The head of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, said changes need to be made to recruit people to highly specialized positions.
"We probably aren't going to be creating enough engineers for a while, as hard as we're pushing more and more students, particularly young women into the STEM fields and trying to encourage them in that direction," said AEDC Executive Director Grant Tennille.
"If we want to keep pace with what we know industry needs, we're going to have to get some of these folks from somewhere else and one of the surest and best ways to get them is to throw our doors open and say you are welcome here and you can make a life here," Tennille said.
The group said Wednesday's press conference will kick off a month of hearings around the state, pressing people to contact Arkansas's congressional delegation and ask them to commit to passing immigration reform.

Thanksgiving Platters

Find her insights and ideas on her blog, http://honeebeegifts.blogspot.com. When she isnt blogging or finding the perfect gift, you can find her enjoying the arts, good food, and working with several community nonprofits.
Gobble gobble! Thanksgiving is near and I am already thinking of the dinner that surpasses all dinners--the Thanksgiving feast! I am excited to spend Thanksgiving with a very good friend of mine and her family. I was able to attend their dinner last year and one of the things that I LOVED that they did was go around the dinner table and share what each of them were thankful for. Let me tell you, 2010 was a big year for my friend and you could tell how it affected her family. I was so blessed to share in that day with them. Another tradition that the family has is making sure the dinner is yummy deliciousness...last year they nailed it! The matriarch of the family reminds me of my great grandmother....she throws down in the kitchen! Everyone's favorite dishes were represented and there were platters of food for all to enjoy. I wanted to share a few platters that would make a great hostess gift for the big Turkey Day...couldn't you just see these dishes covered in your favorite Thanksgiving treat?

As much as I love the fact that hes a guy who clearly stands for something, he is going to further ruin america. His freemarket policy supports big corporations to do what they want, and removes all regulation on them. What you'll see is that the average worker will be paid lesser and lesser, and that those who already have a lot will get a lot more, and those who dont have a lot will have a lot less. Im not a socialist, but i think people should be protected by regulation from big businesses. Of course his policies are going to support smaller family run businesses, which is good, but the mega corporations are only going to get more and more. And there are more; if he can step up his policies he will introduce the gold standard again, which he will make a lot of money off, since hes got a lot of value in gold. He is also a creationist, and his deregulations will hurt kids, because they can be taught creationism at school. His policies will also remove regulations from oil and coal companies, making it so that they dont need to follow regulation on CO2 emissions and further pollute the earth. I believe that Ron Paul is the most "true" man of the candidates, but i do not agree with his policies, since they are not sustainable.

Care to post the rest?
If you won`t. I`ll take pleasure in highlighting them for you, my friend.
It`s really pretty $#@!ty stuff, TBH.
Over to you.
UKIPs Head of Policy Unit Tim Aker discusses our election platform as we continue to build our 2015 manifesto. There will be more detail released at our September Conference in Doncaster, tickets can be purchased here.
"Were beyond left-right, authoritarian-libertarianthose arguments are for university common rooms. Our people want to know how were going to make their lives easier, simpler and how they can just get on and feel more comfortable. Thats it. Its a blue-collar platform, but for people that want to aspire to achieve absolutely anything."
We want to take low earners out of income tax altogether. No tax on the minimum wage. We are for flatter, simpler and lower taxes.
We will also be making some cuts to deal with the deficit, Foreign aid is an obvious target. We are looking to shrink the Department for Energy & Climate Change. There are elements of BIS [Business, Innovation and Skills] that we are looking into.
There will be a Veterans Department to bring all of the different support organizations under one roof. Veterans care can be fully supported and we will be outlining at conference policies what the Veterans Department will be actively doing.
We are firmly against the bedroom tax.
New migrants to this country will not be eligible for any welfare benefits until they have been paying tax and national insurance for five years. There will be an offer for people who have paid into the pot and find themselves for a considerable amount of time unemployedhigher jobseekers allowance. We are prioritizing people who work and pay into the pot instead of people who have made a living out of having children so that they can get more benefits and a bigger house.
A condition of entry to Britain will be to have health insurance that the NHS recognizes. Show your passport, show your medical insurancesimple. Wed be more like Australia, If you come here to do a job, thats fantastic. But you must contribute more than you take out. You must show that you have been working in that profession for 12 of the last 24 months, that you can speak English and that you wont need tax credits. We have a plan to increase the strength of the border force, which needs to become a government priority.
There is a discussion going on about whether foreign governments have the right to buy up stakes in our national assets and national resources. Theres lots of concern that so much energy is controlled by foreign governments and without saying we are not open for business we want to redress that balance Its an ongoing debate. Youll see the conclusion of it in the manifesto.
We have got two elections to change this country, we have won one of them.

Over to you.
I think it is fair if you were to highlight the other stuff, because the stuff up there is pretty good vote winning stuff that takes on issues people are concerned about...but yes I am sure there is other stuff they wont highlight quite so easily, but no point in alluding to it if ya dont share it
Too easy for some to just write off UKIP as a bunch of bigots and fruitjobs.
Looks good to me - let's hope iscotland soon produces a party with the ordinary scot similarly at heart. We will of course have the honeymoon experiment with archaic statism but that obviously can't last.
And the people that thought UKIP were a non entity at the European election s soon got a wake up call , did they not , and hopefully yet again in 2015 and their policies on education ,health and defense cannot be any worse than you are happy to accept just now , i would reckon its an improvement on what we have at moment for the indigenous Brits.

UKIP MEP David Coburn questions Jean-Claude Juncker on EU membership for an independent Scotland - YouTube i agree that using the pound would be in everybody's interest but i fear other option is known by AS. save time go to 1.40, also i would be interested to see AS rebuttal to this statement from junker, as of yet nothing
Anyone can say anything and be called bullahit by the oppo. He did say that, but I'm more interested in what the actual written law says, because that's what really matters.
Any country joining the eu has to undertake to at some point adopt the euro as it's currency.But prior to adopting the euro, it's essential that the country in question adopts ERM II... Until you join that it's impossible to adopt the euro. And it's entirely optional for any country to adopt that mechanism.So aye, commit to adopt the euro, but postpone, indefinitely, the adoption of ERM II. As a few eu countries have done and continue to do so.
That's the actual law, not what junker, barosso, darling or anyone else thinks really matters one ounce of $#@!
I believe that UKIP wish to scrap workers rights to paid holidays, maternity leave and sick pay.
What a shower of $#@!es.
We give a minute amount in forgein aid, so to suggest this relates in any way to governments not being able to help those at home is utter $#@!e. Billions are wasted on far less worthy causes than forgein aid.
UKIP are welts playing to peoples angers and frustrations with any old spurious, blame tactic, claptrap they think will win votes.
I'll gladly stand shoulder to shoulder with the refugees, queers, Jews, Muslims, Bulgarians and blacks and all your other scape goats and I hope I do bring your Britain to its knees and yes education (for example) could be a lot worse than it is now - what was it Nige planned last time round? free market system with a fcked up voucher system?

It is likely to have considerable representation from the former Westminster MPs from Labour, Tory and possibly even the Libdems. Do you know what their plans are for a Scottish currency?
What if it, the EU, doesn't?
Space to let
This has been an interesting little bicker that makes UKIP seem not so out of the political norm.

The current and past Govt have certainly done nothing to make the people of the UK happy have they ?? Its obvious that one or two of UKIP's policies may not be to everyone's liking , but at least the majority should be , that is more than the current breed of cretins can say .

What are the convergence criteria?
The convergence criteria are formally defined as a set of macroeconomic indicators which measure:
- Price stability, to show inflation is controlled;
- Soundness and sustainability of public finances, through limits on government borrowing and national debt to avoid excessive deficit;
- Exchange-rate stability, through participation in the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II) for at least two years without strong deviations from the ERM II central rate;
- Long-term interest rates, to assess the durability of the convergence achieved by fulfilling the other criteria.
According to the Treaty, at least once every two years, or at the request of a Member State with a derogation, the Commission and the European Central Bank assess the progress made by the euro-area candidate countries and publish their conclusions in respective convergence reports.
I can't see anywhere where it insists that these monetaruy measures are conducted or facilitated through a central bank.
I agree that foreign aid could be distributed better but that is an argument for better policy not reducing the amount we give. People dying in corridors and crumbling schools can be helped without cutting foreign aid. Why does it have to be a helping one or the other argument with UKIP? We could and should do both! Aid is an easy target for UKIP as it drums up a lot of rhetoric and doesn't upset any of their cronies in the UK.
Your comment about the justice system and Africa is just baffling. With UKIPs views on bringing back the death penalty I'd imagine a third-world justice system is exactly the sort of thing that would appeal to them.
8.3 Billion sounds a lot because it is a lot , bring up the drawbridge and look after our own first , when that is done then look at where we can afford to help , but i for one and millions of others ,yes UKIP voters , want the people of this country looked after first .
Bring back the death penalty whats wrong with that ?? the days are gone now where Joe Bloggs gets hanged for a crime he did not commit , where there is 100% proof with the help of DNA where possible , i would rather they died than were let free to kill again , or rape again , or both ,as is happening now , no sympathy , remove them from society to make it a safer place

And just because above is my thoughts ,they are mine alone and not the property of anyone else
Yeh Al Gore was he not the one that said the polar ice cap would be gone by 2010 and that sea levels would rise by ten meters or some crap like that , was he right h 533,000 more square miles of ocean covered with ice than in 2012
BBC reported in 2007 global warming would leave Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013
Again, I agree the justice system fails many people but invest into improving it instead of looking for the easy black and white answer all the time - which is all UKIP ever do.
You do have a heart of gold , but we cannot afford to be the aid station for all of the world , do you realize that all the aid UK gives has to be borrowed and payed back with interest , that is why the UK is over a trillion in debt , yet you say we can afford it , no
It may be barbaric in your eyes but in the eyes of others it is not , comparing us to USA is not very good , who says we are going to keep them in the luxury of our prisons that long , if the evidence is there ,death penalty , hell i will apply for the job if given the chance , imagine the amount of bobbies we could afford to have on the beat then , as we are saving roughly 31,000 per prisoner per year ?
Maybe its time for black and white answers , its quite apparent that trying it the way its going at the moment is not working so lets take the common sense easy approach , I'm all for that
Thing is though that much of this money is paid to British companies doing decent projects overseas for the benefit of these countries. In India I understand that while we pay for dams to be built, which is a good thing until I switch to cynical mode.
India is by no means the worst example with their governments space programme, not to mention all the call centre jobs that were formerly based here in the UK. By doing our good deeds in other countries it allows these governments to arm themselves to the feckin teeth, sometimes aye and sometimes naw frae the UK arms industries and sometimes aye and sometimes naw they're squirreled away elsewhere to knock $#@! out of our armed forces. Also on closer inspection its more often found than not, bribes aside, these big $#@! off contracts go to companies run or belonging to Tory party donators, former MPs, leading lights etc..
We need an overseas aid programme to keep these sorts in the luxury they've long been accustomed to.
Space to let
UKIP doesn't represent "common sense" to me, it represents lowest common denominator hectoring and bull$#@!. If you're all for that then fill your boots, but I reckon you are being led up the garden path by cut-price Tories.
My "heart of gold" notwithstanding I'd rather support ideas that promote positive changes to a system of government we both agree is flawed. While UKIP continue blaming all society's ills on Johnny Foreigner they will always remain a toxic and ugly party to me.
And ifs there's enough proof , then yes take then away right away , why waste time on money on the scum
Yes- the workers party. The rest are lairds or serfs outfits

Numbered listing areas have disappeared from the regional multiple listing service. You no longer need to remember that Area 5 is southeast Charlotte and Area 10 is Union County. Instead, search for Beverly Woods or Indian Trail.
The decision to eliminate the long-standing listing areas was made almost a year ago, said Joe Rempson, president of the Charlotte Regional Realtor Association. The association operates Carolina Multiple Listing Services.
When the MLS moved to a new online operating system, he said, leaders considered related changes. "The board of directors (of the MLS) asked, 'Are areas and sub-areas still relevant? Is there a better way to do things?' "
The directors decided that using such options as ZIP codes, towns and counties and familiar community and neighborhood names would be easier to understand than numbered areas. "Even some of our own members didn't quite understand (the areas and sub-areas)," Rempson said.
Lots of other multiple listing systems across the country don't use numbered areas, Rempson said. They might use ZIP codes or city or county lines.
The areas and sub-areas are gone altogether, he said. Consumers won't see them when visiting the public portion of the MLS online. Member Realtors won't include the former areas when adding new listings to the system and won't use them on their professional portion of the MLS.
Realtors began learning about the change last fall, said Rempson, who's with T.R. Lawing Realty, and began training after that.
The areas have been used for years. Mecklenburg was divided into wedge-shaped areas 1 through 9. Each was divided into sub-areas. Surrounding counties had their own area and sub-area numbers.
As growth patterns changed and interest in specific communities swelled, overlays were added. Lake Norman became Area 13, for instance, and more recently uptown Charlotte became Area 99.
For the time being, the listing areas at Lake Norman and Lake Wylie, and in the Center City, are gone, too. But Kim Walker, spokeswoman for the association and the MLS, says they'll return soon as system managers complete tweaks.
Officially, the areas disappeared April 24.
Online, you can search by unincorporated community, too. When I poked around the MLS site, our community of Sherrills Ford popped right up.
To see listings, visit www.carolinahome.com. Start with the map and bore in for a closer look.
I asked Walker whether she had heard from consumers since the change. "Well, no," she said simply.
Seems prospective buyers aren't clamoring for arcane numbered areas and sub-areas.

1,000 expected to rally for a new transit system in Baton Rouge
POSTED: Monday, March 19, 2012 - 2:00pm
UPDATED: Monday, March 19, 2012 - 2:04pm
Baton Rouge, La — Together Baton Rouge is expecting over 1,000 faith and community leaders at its Assembly for Transit Reform.
The gathering will take place on Tuesday, March 20th, at 6:30 p.m. at the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Church, 9700 Scenic Highway.
It's the culmination of a 14-month campaign to create a plan of action for transit reform. The event has two purposes: to kick off an unprecedented grassroots organizing drive leading up to the transit election on April 21 and to win public commitments from the CATS board and management to implement the transit reform plan as advertised and meet with Together Baton Rouge quarterly to be held accountable for results.
If the April 21 election passes, the new transit system in Baton Rouge will have:
• 15-minute average pick-ups at peak hours
• 18 new routes and 8 new express or limited-stop routes
• Exact arrival times available on cell phones
• 70 new shelters and an overhaul of all bus stops.
Transit Reform also includes changes to CATS' governance structure, which are expected to be approved in the coming weeks by the State legislature and Metropolitan Council.

Watch part two
Mohammed Anwar al-Sadat was born in 1918 into a modest family in a poor village in the Nile delta. Influenced from a young age by nationalist politicians such as Kamal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish republic, Sadat hoped to end the British occupation of his country.He graduated from the military academy when he was 20 years old, but being an army officer did not prevent him from joining underground resistance movements. With the second world war raging, Sadat calculated that Egypt's best chance of overthrowing British rule lay in a German invasion. In 1942, he was accused of consorting with a Nazi spy network in Cairo, fired from the army and imprisoned.
He was released from prison in 1948 and shortly after joined the nationalist Free Officers Movement, which had been founded by Jamal Abdul Nasser.In July 1952, the young officers carried out a military coup that culminated in the overthrow of King Farouk and which subsequently brought more than 70 years of British colonisation to an end. In 1969, Nasser, appointed Sadat as his vice-president. Within a year, he was president.SpotlightSadat inherited a nation in turmoil, one whose army was still reeling from its crushing defeat to Israel in the 1967 Six Day War.Sadat turned to the Russians in an attempt to re-build the Egyptian army's arsenal, but - unlike his predecessor - he believed it was a mistake to rely solely on Soviet backing and instead began to court the US.On October 6, 1973, in a move calculated to attract US attention, Egyptian forces crossed the Suez Canal, capturing a narrow strip of land. After three weeks of fighting and with a fragile UN ceasefire in place, Sadat's grand plan came to fruition.In November, Henry Kissinger, the US national security adviser, arrived in Cairo for talks. Agreements between Israel and Egypt were brokered and the following year Richard Nixon, the US president, visited Egypt for the first time.A series of diplomatic efforts ensued which ultimately led to an historic peace agreement between Egypt and Israel and Sadat's highly symbolic visit to the Israeli Knesset.Sadat stepped into the international spotlight while the whole world watched, but the Egyptian president was also being closely observed by forces within his own country who opposed his moves.On October 6, 1981, while watching a military parade in Cairo, Sadat was assassinated by four gunmen from a militant Islamist group.While some saw him as a visionary others perceived him as a traitor.I Knew Sadat talks to his supporters and his critics, and uncovers a life that in many ways changed the way Egypt is seen by others and by itself.I knew Sadat can be seen from Thursday, February 10, 2011 at the following times GMT: Thursday: 2030; Friday: 1930; Saturday: 0530; Sunday: 1230.
The documentary first aired in September 2009.

In November 2007, Robbie Coy rescued a dog that was being abused. He was later charged with felony burglary.
That didn't matter to him. The renegade has gained fame for such unyielding defense of the canine set. Approximately 125 formerly stray dogs roam freely on his nine-acre no-kill complex near Homestead. This past May, he received a donation of ten tons of dog chow from TV chef Rachael Ray.
Coy relishes his canine kingpin status. He also despises Miami-Dade Animal Services: "We've always butted heads because they kill too many animals, and they do it carelessly."
But now, he says, county interference could spell the demise of his complex, Sabbath Memorial Dog Rescue. Trouble began in March, when three Animal Services investigators and four county cops showed up to look into a dog fighting tip. A camera crew for Animal Planet's Miami Animal Police accompanied them. There wasn't any battling, but they did learn Coy lacks a kennel license, which is required to keep more than four dogs.
Since then, Coy says, his landlord has been hit with $5,500 in fines from code enforcers. "The worst-case scenario is they come in here and take my dogs and kill them," he frets. "Or if my landlord evicts me, there's nowhere to go, and there's no money to rebuild this shelter."
So why doesn't he just get the license? As Miami-Dade Animal Services enforcement manager Raquel Cruz admits, it's "not a simple process and can cost thousands of dollars." Coy would have to win a zoning change from his local community council before even applying for the license. (Riptide was unable to reach a representative of CJM Investment Group, which owns the plot, for comment.)
Cruz allows the shelter has never been hit with any violations related to treatment of dogs. "But the fact is he's not in compliance with Miami-Dade law."
