My realtor just gave me a bunch of little folded cards to pass out. Do people really pass these out. They are nice and all but my friends all know I am selling.
Anyone advertise this way? On facebook? Just curious? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh, for heaven's sake either just do it (at the mall if you like) or don't. |

I would expect my Realtor to advertise online; Trulia, Realtor.com, Zillow or similar webpage(s). Advertise in local Realty magazine, Print colored flyers for box attached to prominent 'For Sale' sign. Invite other Realtors for 'open house'. I have not heard of passing out cards! |

Why do the work you are paying a Realtor to do? |
I'm confused a little! Many realtors get clients by word of mouth. I have referred my own many times to my friends and newcomers to the area, having some cards to give them is a big plus! What exactly is on the little cards? I've seen lots of sale ads on facebook and other social nets. |
I can understand the real estate agent giving you a few cards to keep handy in your bag, but I would think it's really up to him/her, not you, to spend the time to get the word out on your house. |
- Posted by sylviatexas (My Page) on Tue, Apr 13, 10 at 10:16
To sell your house, you must get the word out to as many people as possible. Even though "all your friends" know you're selling, *they won't always remember to tell their other friends/family/church people/work chums*. & if they do remember, the friends, etc likely won't remember your address or your agent's name, etc. Any kind of "visual aid" is helpful, & anything you can do to facilitate the sale will be in your best interest. Pass out those cards at work & at church, give 'em to the waiter at the restaurant & the cashier at McDonald's (she has parents & teachers & aunts & uncles)... I once had an agent who paid a toll at the "change made" booth, & she handed the toll booth guy a card. She sold him a condo. |

Saves the World, One Rap Song At a Time
Gambit is summarizing the namesake for his 12member rap group, the Marvel Comics crossover epic House of M. "Basically, there's this character, the Scarlet Witch, who can change realities and probabilities," he explains. "She has this big mental breakdown, and she ends up changing the whole Marvel world. It's up to all the superheroes in the Marvel universe to band together and get the world back to normal.
As his X-Men-derived alias suggests, Gambit has a passion for comics in general, but this particular story line has special relevance for him. "It symbolizes our group," he says.

The internet is abuzz with discussions on the presidential debate last night between the hopeful and the incumbent and popular opinion says that Mitt Romney stole a march over Obama in this debate. Romney was clearly better prepared for the occasion. Twitter, which is a perfect barometer for judging the mood of the people, the clued in young audience, voted Romney as the winner.
Importantly, Romney was the top tweet in crucial states such as Florida, Ohio, Nevada and Colorado. There are two more debates to go, the next being on Oct. 16 in Hempstead, N.Y., and Oct. 22 in Boca Raton, Fla.If you missed the debate last night, we have the full video for you.

Swedish Strawscaper Harvests Energy from the Wind With a Kinetic Hair-Covered Shell
Posted By Kristine Lofgren On May 17, 2013 @ 5:08 pm In Architecture,News,Renewable Energy,Wind Power | 2 Comments
Every once in a while an idea comes along that is so unlike anything before that it defies reference. Take Belatchew Lab Architecture's [2] Strawscraper, a skyscraper [3] covered in hair that can harness the energy of the wind. The building looks as though it belongs at the bottom of the sea, with its long anemone-like hair, but its technology is planted firmly on the terra firma of the future.
Urban wind farming [5] is a challenge; it can often seem impossible to find a location for traditional wind turbines that doesn't take up too much room or isn't dangerous in an urban setting. Strawscraper solves this problem by using a hair covered shell that harvests the power of the wind without the traditional turbine.
The system utilizes Piezoelectric [6] technology, which turns movement into electricity that can be stored for later use. The hair's tiny movement is safe for birds and humans and isn't noisy like traditional turbines can be. But Strawscraper isn't all about the brains, it also has the beauty. The hair covering the building creates the illusion of movement, giving the normally static city skyline the illusion of motion.
The skyscraper is an extension of an existing tower in Stockholm, Sweden [7], which was completed in 1997. The original architect stepped off of the project mid-construction, leaving it 14 stories short of its intended height. Belatchew Labs stepped in to give new life to the old project with a new look and new technology that just may change the way we look at cities.

"I bought the whole Oval Opulence set and LOVE it! A little pricey and does not qualify for any discounts because it is William Arthur but overall totally worth it. The printing is a bit raised which gives it a nice texture and the paper is a perfect thickness. I will be adding some colored bakers twine and a colored tag to give it a little more character. Would definitely recommend!"

Aug 28, 2012The game is very innovative and fun, Arena.net has the best support in the market for players. Also it is a game made for fun and not to become addicted. So far the best mmorpg available.

Aug 28, 2012guild wars 2 is amazing, The worlds are epic, Stunning and open. You can get lost just exploring. World vs World is brilliant, PVP arenas are fun. This is the best MMO to date. I quit my subscription to TOr due to guild wars 2 as it really does point a shinny light to how bad TOR is compared
Aug 28, 2012
Sep 3, 2012The game is amazing. I've put about 40 hours into it already and I haven't had a moment of doubt. Buy this game. Do not listen to any of the complainers that gave the game below a 5 or 6, or even a zero, that's retarded because this game in no possible way deserves a score like that. It is the most fun you will ever have playing an mmo
Aug 31, 2012
Aug 31, 2012Really? Really? .... Really? The best MMO since WoW, and this time for SURE people! You can not compare WoW and GW2 but you can compare MMO releases and the fun of it and the feeling it brings at release + bugs etc. and GW2/Arenanet made an awesome job for sure. 9.5! Giving 10 because of 0 rating trolls here.
Aug 29, 2012So many WoW fanboys hating this lol best game ever. The game artstyle, gameplay and music are just amazing. The launch wasn't that bad many mmo games had a much worse launch.
Aug 28, 2012This game is beautiful, fun and very addicting! It has a wonderful personal story, great PvE and stunning PvP. The WvWvW is extremely fun!
If you are new to the MMO scene and looking for a way in this is the game! If you are an old MMO gamer looking for the next one to play this game will be perfect for you!
Also, the game is F2P! -
Aug 29, 2012Absolutely amazing game, everything from the world, characters, story, gameplay, style, this is truly a piece of art. It was the best 50£ I have ever spent on a game in my life, and I hope that Arenanet will keep up the good work, and will amaze me/us again with new content in the future.

Aug 29, 2012Try this game before you buy it! Borrow a friends account or wait for a free trial or something, but don't spend money on it until you actually know what you're buying into. There's not much more I can say that the other negative reviewers haven't already covered. But this game is simply not worth $60 ($20 maybe). Don't fall for the hype!
Oct 7, 2012
Apr 18, 2013This game is average at its best. But when you ding level 80, the game start to be boring real quick with lack of content. There's no progression or any reason to do PvE or PvP.
I had so high hopes. -
Aug 28, 2012So far so good. I absolutely love the art style and the combat, while very shallow at a first glance, is incredibly deep and demanding. The launch has been incredibly smooth and I have had no problems accessing the 3 day headstart. I am very pleased with the game and I am fully happy with my purchase.

Sep 1, 2012This game is a lot of fun. People who get involved in the story and want to quickly move to the next chapters might get frustrated at higher levels, as the game encourages (forces, rather) non-linear play. Other than that, the experience is unmatched by any other MMO. Rewarding PvE and PvP combat, beautiful environments, clean interfaces, and great voice acting and music.

Aug 29, 2012The game is absolutely gorgeous, they are tons of stuff to do in this game and very varied ones, you really are never bored playing it and want to stay a bit longer each time you have to go to bed :p One of my best mmo and i'm a computer gamer since the first apple c. Thumbs up to Anet and thank you for that great game.
Sep 25, 2012Finally a game that combines the best features of the good mmo's while adding new mechanics and ways to play the game. It will be a long time I think before a better game than GW2 will be made.
Aug 30, 2012Guild Wars 2 is WoW mashed with WAR, SWTOR, FFXIV and Tera in all the right ways. There are innovations, certainly, but it really is just borrowing a cornucopia of great ideas and perfecting them.
Aug 29, 2012Awesome game. Everything just falls into place. Nothing bad to say about it. I like everything from the PvE content, to the WvWvW, to the sPvP. Even crafting is exciting.

Sep 5, 2012Not the revolutionary genre changing game many of GW2's more zealous fans tried to tout pre-release, but a very solid, very good MMO with plenty to do and best of all no subscription fee.
Sep 9, 2012This game is NEXT LEVEL. Absolutely fantastic graphics, gameplay, everything....You can tell the devs really paid attention to detail, it's the little things like auction from your backpack, instant mail, the robust travel system, the list goes on and on and on. This is an MMO milestone!!! If you like MMO's you will love this game!

Aug 28, 2012Refreshingly beautiful and dynamic, amazing gameplay and fluid controls. Love the personal story and ability to explore Tyria's vastness. WvW is also captivating because of large scale assaults and cooperation. Friendly community in-game, partly because of game mechanics, partly because there is no frustration to be found as well.
Aug 28, 2012Not sure what game the people who gave Zero's were playing. One person said "Mediocre graphics" lol what?!?! Get a better rig man, the graphics are amazing! A huge lush, detailed World to explore, I absolutely love the way this games looks. The game play is awesome. It

Aug 28, 2012Exceeded my expectations in every way. A ton of content with little to no compulsion to grind. PvP and WvW alone will provide months of solid gameplay.
Oct 2, 2012Good game, good graphics, but nothing too amazing. After about 15 levels of leveling it starts to feel very much like WaR. Very boring after level 15 or so.. I'm still playing to try to keep a feel for the game and hopefully something will peak my interest.
Experience: I've been playing MMOs ever since Meridian 59. -
Sep 20, 2012This is the best MMORPG I have ever played so far. It doesn't suck your money like a hungry vacuum. Leveling is at ease. Full voice acting in main story. Exploring is also fun and actually rewarding. Very soothing music. Please, try the game, it doesn't even need monthly subscription to play.
Sep 28, 2012
Feb 25, 2014
Sep 16, 2012Game in which everyone will find something for you. No matter how much time you can dedicate to game, you can fully enjoy it. I think this is what make it completely different from other MMO games.
Sep 2, 2012
Nov 30, 2012Played this game for a couple of months and found that its just too buggy. Many dungeons to not work and the new fractals dungeons crash constantly (usually toward the end). The game is full of cheaters and its just a very bad game would not recommend it to anyone. Give it a year or so for them to work out the bugs and stop the blatant cheating.

Sep 23, 2012Very refreshing mmo, and with no monthly fee, it's a winner! The "quest" system is what i liked most and why I find it so refreshing. Great job Arenanet, can't wait to see where you take this game.
Sep 3, 2012best mmo in recent years and i dont i have to explain why
all i can say its im playing mmo's since wow vanilla and gw2 simply crush it with eaze and style..i wont bother to mention other mmos since 90% of them are all wow clones.
Proudly gw2 isnt and thats what make it the best mmo since wow:LK exp -
Aug 29, 2012Amazing game. The amount of detail that was put into this game is impressive and breathtaking. The combat is fluid. So many things were nailed on the head with this game that were stumbling blocks in previous MMOs (the crafting system, the gathering system, bank storage and collectibles, dynam. Was never a huge fan of Guild Wars 1, but this game has me and my wife completely hooked.

Aug 28, 2012Having played Lineage 2, WoW, Guild wars 1 and other F2P MMO's i can say, that this is the best MMO ever released (IMHO). I give it a solid 10. Great graphics, sound, MUSIC BY JEREMY SOULE, the gameplay is extremely hooking and awesome aswell.
Aug 31, 2014
Jan 18, 2013While ArenaNet has definitely succeeded in making Guild Wars 2 different to anything else out there, it has taken away some of the endearing qualities of the original Guild Wars such as a greater variety of skills and placing a greater focus on storyline missions. For newcomers, the game will keep you entertained for awhile but long-term enjoyment boils down to PvP, WvW and popular dungeons.
Sep 13, 2012Loving this game so far. You'll see Guild Wars 2 clones in the coming years. WARNING: You need a really good computer to run this. The minimum system specs aren't going to cut it. This game is more demanding on your comp than anything I've ever seen.
Aug 30, 2012
Aug 28, 2012This game is amazing. It is not in anyway your typical MMO game. It does almost everything differently. Play any character you want, however you want. You don't need to rely on people to tank or heal you. For PvP you can jump in right away with a max level character and gear and start pvping right away, as It is skill based not gear based.
Aug 29, 2012
Feb 6, 2013GW2 has made a powerful impact on the MMO scene, confirming years of expectations. Stunning presentation and revolutionary design guarantee a thoroughly enjoyable experience. However, it's not flawless, nor complete. The beautiful vistas, the massive PvP element, the rich leveling experience- those can offer hours of gameplay, but the endgame is desperately seeking for enrichment. [November 2012]
Jan 2, 2013Guild Wars 2 surpasses the original in every aspect, from its massive and atmospheric world to its addictive and engrossing gameplay.
Nov 28, 2012After spending fifty hours with GW2, I have a lot of praise for ArenaNet's work and the way it changes up some of the typical trappings of the MMO. And yet, I find myself thinking less and less about it each day. It's not a declaration against the product, mind you, but simply a fact that this game still is very much an MMO, and your enjoyment will directly relate to how much you enjoy the genre. For many who were hoping for a clean break from MMO design philosophy, Guild Wars 2 will probably come across as a slight disappointment. It pushes the genre slightly forward, however, and could lead to even further development in the future.

It should come as no surprise, smartphones are getting thinner. Just when you thought they couldn't get any skinnier, manufacturers will shave a millimeter or two off their next device, just so they can claim the title of having the "thinnest phone on the market" -- even if they don't. Some manufacturers make their claims when measuring the thinnest part of the phone, but conveniently leave out the fact that the "camera hump" doubles or even triples the thickness. That doesn't count, does it? Thin phones don't feel good I'm through with it! Thin phones seem more fragile than "thicker" ...

For a while now I've been abstractly aware of something that I've wanted to flesh out graphically.
Specifically, it involves the necessity – and advantages – of precisely zero-beating a station, as opposed to a more relaxed approach of just "good enough".
It explains the logic of how skilled QRP ops work through pile-ups when the majority of their fellow DXers in the pile-up are QRO. Luck & patience are valuable commodities but technique is worth watts beyond the QRPer's transmit output.
It also explains the How's and Why's of antenna-deficient stations (like mine!) getting through pile-ups quickly when conventional wisdom says they ought not to, given all the Yagis and kilowatts in the same pile-up.
Lack of technique effectively costs watts – again, in a Real way – and often renders QRO operators as "Unintentional QRPers".
To illustrate this and to see its scope, I injected a reference signal into the antenna jack of my K3. I then zero-beat that signal and dialed my selectivity down to its minimum of 50 Hz to simulate how a rare DX station might adjust his receiver in order to cope with a large pile-up.
Then, to simulate the numerous stations calling him with varying degrees of accuracy in their zero-beat skills, I changed the freq of the injected signal in 10 Hz increments, up & down, and measured the corresponding decrease in the receiver's audio output in decibels.
Finally, I graphed this offset error vs. loss of amplitude in dB and then converted the corresponding decrease to effective watts based on a theoretical 100-watt transmitter.
Each receiver will respond differently and that response will depend upon, among other things, the selectivity dialed in by the DX station. Many DXpeditions use K3′s and that happens to be the rig that I have handy so that's what's represented here.
The X-axis represents departure in Hz of the 10.110.000 MHz RF signal injected into the K3.
A few points:
100 watts attenuated by 13 dB is 5 watts. This occurs only 40 Hz either side of zero-beat. For most people, 40 Hz is very hard to discern by ear. If a 100-watt station is calling 40 Hz from the DX station's receive freq and a 5-watt QRPer is calling at zero-beat, they'll both be of equal amplitude in the DX station's receiver – only their pitch will differ.
The 100-watt op has, by virtue of the distant receiver's characteristics, made himself a virtual QRPer by being a mere 40 Hz away from the DX station's receive freq.
Being only 25 Hz away from the DX station's receiver causes your received signal to be attenuated by 7 dB…..your 100-watt signal now has an effective power of only 20 watts.
Also, 13 dB is a significant (X20) loss (or gain). Look at how much effort we put into maximizing the efficiency of our antennas. Going from a dipole to a Yagi nets us only half that amount. And how much does an amp cost that boosts your transmit power by 13 dB?
At only 50 Hz away, your 100-watt sig has all the punch of 800 milliwatts.
Pretty amazing, right? If that doesn't illustrate the importance of proper transmit frequency placement when operating split, I don't know what will.
Granted, these attenuation levels have everything to do with the selectivity of the DX station's receiver – but you get my point:
Failure to practice precision in where you place your transmit freq negates the labor and cost of such station improvements.
At the date of this posting, there is a thread on eHam about QRP DXing. WG5G may have luck and patience on his side but I bet he knows full well the practical application of the chart above and how to exploit it to his benefit. How else would he have worked 338 countries with 5 watts?!
The next time you work a DX station in a split pile-up, take a listen on your transmit freq to gauge the zero-beat-ability of those still calling. I do this every single time I log a rare station and am always amazed at the absence of callers on the freq the DX has just proven himself to be listening to.
So how to precisely zero-beat in order to maximize the effect of every single watt you're squirting out?
With the K3, there are four ways:
- Use the Auto-spot function
- Use the Spot tone to match the pitch
- Use the visual LCD indicator
- Tune to the station using your narrowest (50 Hz) bandwidth
I use a combination of the last two methods knowing that if I can copy the desired station in my 50 Hz passband, that the DX station will hear me when I transmit there.
Again, I often have very little competition within that little sliver of a window.
There are other add-on zero beat indicators and helpers out there but I've never had the opportunity to use them and can't speculate on their accuracy or implementation.
My goal, whether I meet it or not, is to be not just zero-beat with the last station the DX worked, but to ideally be the same pitch in the DX station's headphones as the station he previously worked. I know that DX stations sometimes tune up or down between QSO's but I find that if I make them "not have to", they often won't.

Cities and towns are authorized by chapter 60, Laws of 1941, RCW 35.21.070 and RCW 35.21.080 to establish one cumulative reserve fund for one specified municipality, but no limitation is imposed on the number of funds which may be established.

July 2, 1952
Honorable Cliff YelleState AuditorLegislative BuildingOlympia, Washington Cite as: AGO 51-53 No. 339
Attention: Mr. A. E. Hankins
Dear Sir:
The following matter is a reply to your request for a review of the Attorney General's opinion No. 51-53-308, under the date of May 13, 1952, and addressed to the Honorable Cliff Yelle, State Auditor.
The question passed upon in the Attorney General's opinion No. 51-53-308 was as follows:
"Does section 1, chapter 60, Laws of 1941 (RCW 35.21.070) contemplate that a cumulative reserve fund may be established in such broad terms as the following quotation from an ordinance appears to indicate:
"'For the purchase or repair of city equipment, the construction or repair of city buildings, the establishment, widening and extending of streets, [[Orig. Op. Page 2]] the construction of sewers, the acquisition of real property, and the matching of federal or state funds for such purposes, and for any other similar purpose.
"'If the above ordinance falls within the intent of chapter 60, Laws of 1941, should not the city or town be required to budget for specific purposes prior to the expending of said funds?'"
Our conclusion in AGO 51-53-308, was as follows:
"The ordinance in question is not within the spirit and intent of RCW 35.21.070, as it expresses more then one 'purpose,' i.e., 'purpose', used in the sense of a single object, plan, aim, proposition or project, as distinguished from the plural, 'purposes', which contemplates more than one object, plan, aim, etc. And, further, in the ordinance the 'purpose' must be 'specified', i.e., definite, in particular, precisely stated, and the opposite of 'general.' The section of the ordinance which reads 'and for any other similar purpose,' is not specific."
Our conclusions here may be summarized as follows:
That cities and towns are authorized by chapter 60, Laws of 1941, RCW 35.21.070 and RCW 35.21.080, to establish one cumulative reserve fund for one specified municipal purpose, and that the act does not limit this authorization and as many cumulative reserve funds may be set up as the scope of municipal purposes and the tax levy may dictate.
The cumulative reserve fund act for cities or towns is stated as follows: RCW 35.21.070 (§ 1, chapter 60, Laws of 1941)
"Any city or town is hereby authorized to establish by ordinancea cumulative reserve fund for any municipal purpose, including that of buying anyspecified supplies, material or equipment, or the construction, alteration or repair of any public [[Orig. Op. Page 3]] building or work, or the making of any public improvement. The ordinance shall designate the fund as 'cumulative reserve fund for ‑‑- naming purpose for which fund is to be accumulated and expended).' The moneys in said fund may be allowed to accumulate from year to year until the legislative authority of the city or town shall determine to expend the moneys in the fund for thepurpose specified: Provided, That any moneys in said fund shall never be expended for any otherpurpose than that specified, without an approving vote by a majority of the electors of the city or town at a general or special election voting on a proposal submitted to the electors to allow other specified uses to be made of said fund." (Emphasis supplied)
RCW 35.21.080 (§ 1, chapter 60, Laws of 1941) provides:
"An item for said cumulative reserve fund may be included in the city or town's annual budget or estimate of amounts required to meet public expense for the ensuing year and a tax levy made within the limits and as authorized by law for said item; and said item and levy may be repeated from year to year until, in the judgment of the legislative body of the city or town, the amount required for thes pecified purpose has been raised or accumulated. Any moneys in said fund at the end of the fiscal year shall not lapse, nor shall the same be a surplus available or which may be used for any other purpose than that specified, except as herein provided." (Emphasis supplied)
Our attention has been called to, and a great emphasis placed on the wording in the act,"for any municipal purpose", and that the term "any" means "several"; that the term"including" certain specified uses of the moneys in said fund, refers to the appropriating ordinances and shows clearly that the legislature had in mind many and not just one purpose for which the moneys were to accumulate and might be spent.
In the phrase, "for any municipal purpose" the critical word is "any." [[Orig. Op. Page 4]] Webster says that any means:
"1. One indifferently out of a number; one (or as pl., some) indiscriminately of whatever kind; specif.: a Indicating a person, thing, event, etc., as not a particular or determinate individual of the given category but whichever one chance may select; this, that, or the other; one or another;‑-* * * b Indicating a person, thing, etc., as one selected without restriction or limitation of choice, with the implication that every one is open to selection without exception; one, no matter what one; all, taken distributively; * * *
"* * * c Indicating one person, thing, etc., taken with indifference to quality; one or some however excellent or poor * * * better than no plan. * * *
"3. Of an amount, quantity, number, time extent: a Great, unmeasured, or unlimited; up to whatever measure may be desired or needed; the whole; * * *"
InU. S. v. St. Claire, 52 Fed. Supp. 795, 797, the action involved the Mann Act, which insofar as pertinent here states:
"* * * Transporting in interstate * * * commerce * * *any woman or girl for the purposes of prostitution * * *." (Emphasis supplied)
One of the questions there was whether a separate offense was committed to each woman transported. The court said:
"* * * The word 'any' implies singularity in number or selectivity among a number. * * * The statute now considered tends to protect 'each and every woman' from the unlawful transportation."
In the case ofWinnebago County State Bank v. Hustel, 119 Iowa 115, 93 N.W. 70, the court had under consideration the word "any" when used in a note preceding the word "extension". The court held that the use of "any" before "extension" indicates that any one of an indefinite number was intended.
[[Orig. Op. Page 5]]
InCommonwealth v. One 1939 Cadillac Sedan, 45 Atl. 2d 406, 158 Pa. Super. 392, the court said:
"* * * What meaning should be given to any vehicle? A more comprehensive word than any could hardly be employed. It means indiscriminate without limitation or restriction."
InCatholic Order of Foresters v. State, 271 N.W. 670, 676, 67 N.D. 228, 109 A.L.R. 979, it was said:
"* * * The word 'any' is a general word and may have a diversity of meanings, its meaning in any particular case depending largely upon the context and subject-matter of the statute or instrument in which it is used."
Interpretations of the word "any" are many and various and we feel that further cataloging of the interpretations would serve no purpose but to make this opinion more lengthy.
In regard to statutory construction, 50 Am. Jur., § 227, p. 210, states as follows:
"The only mode in which the will of a legislature is spoken, is in the statute itself. Hence, in the construction of statutes, it is the legislative intent manifested in the statute that is of importance, and such intent must be determined primarily from the language of the statute, which affords the best means of its exposition. Indeed, it is the duty of the courts to give a statute the interpretation its language calls for, where this can reasonably be done, and the general rule is that no intent may be imputed to the legislature in the enactment of a law other than such as is supported by the face of the law itself. The courts may not speculate as to the probable intent of the legislature apart from the words. A statute is to be taken, construed, and applied in the form enacted, and so declared, announced, and expounded. Popular demand as to the enforcement of a law adds nothing to, and detracts nothing from, the duty of the court to construe the law as it is. As a [[Orig. Op. Page 6]] reason for these rules, it has been declared that the legislature must be assumed or presumed to know the meaning of words, to have used the words of a statute advisedly, and to have expressed its intent by the use of the words found in the statute."
At 50 Am.Jur., § 226, p. 209, it is also stated:
"* * * There is also authority for the rule that uncertainty as to the meaning of a statute may arise from the fact that giving a literal interpretation to the words would lead to such unreasonable, unjust, impracticable, or absurd consequences as to compel a conviction that they could not have been intended by the legislature. * * * "
It is to be noted from the before‑mentioned definitions that the word "any" may be used either in its singular or plural sense, depending upon the particular context and subject matter. The word "each" is often used as a synonym for "any" in its singular sense, and the word "every" may be used as a synonym for "any" in its plural sense. The words "each" and "every" when substituted for "any" in a phrase of the act "any municipal purpose", would seem to be equally valid in that particular context. However, when the word "every" is substituted as a plural synonym for "any", why is the word "purpose," after its first usage, used in its singular sense when the word "purposes" would be the proper and descriptive word? If "any" is meant in its plural sense, why then is the word "purpose," in the phrase of the act "* * * cumulative reserve fund for ‑‑- (naming purpose * * *," used in its singular sense, if it were the legislative intent that many municipal purposes might be enacted in one ordinance, and make up one cumulative reserve fund?
If the term "any" is used in its plural connotation, then, the word "including" followed by certainspecified purposes for which the fund could be utilized, would indicate that one fund could have several purposes. However, if "any" is to be used in its singular sense, then the term "including" and that which follows, are to be utilized as examples for which cumulative reserve funds may be set up, i.e., one fund, one specified purpose.
It is to be further pointed out that "specified" as it appears before the termsupplies applies equally to the further terms, "material or equipment, public building or work, or public improvement."
[[Orig. Op. Page 7]]
We therefore conclude that cities and towns are authorized by RCW 35.21.070 and RCW 35.21.080 (chapter 60, Laws of 1941), to establish one cumulative reserve fund, for one specified municipal purpose, and that the act does not limit this authorization and that as many cumulative reserve funds may be set up as the scope of municipal purposes and the tax levy may dictate.
Very truly yours,
SMITH TROYAttorney General

He complimented Bradley County on its local economy, which is atypical to the rest of Tennessee and much of the United States. There were still concerns about the housing market and issues surrounding banking.
"We had a lot of concerns and questions about our upcoming health care law and what we can expect both as employers trying to provide health insurance and employees questioning if they are going to get to keep their insurance," DesJarlais said.
"Many of the issues were national issues that are going to impact us all."
He said nothing will have a bigger impact in 2014 than health care. Sequestration will most likely take place, but its affects are still unclear. That depends upon departments and agencies.
"What we know at this point is there are a certain amount of cuts that have to take place," he said. "As far as how those cuts are prioritized is going to depend somewhat on the Department of Defense. I expect they will do the right thing and protect the troops and their families."
Legislative assistant Dayne Cuttrell explained sequestration in a separate interview. He said that unless Congress acts before March 1, sequestration will occur.
According to him, the automatic cuts will take place as a result of the failed super committee in 2012.
He said sequestration automatically cuts $85 billion from the federal budget. Fifty percent of the cuts will come from the military and the other 50 percent will come from discretionary spending.
"Agencies are now beginning to understand and outline where those cuts will be in the various departments and agencies," he said Friday afternoon. "Obviously, the president and others are trying to come up with a new plan to get rid of the sequester."
Press secretary Robert Jameson said sequestration does not actually cut any budgets, but the $85 billion reduction only slows the rate of growth from the previous year. The federal government will spend about $1 trillion.
"We're not really cutting anything. We're just slowing the rate of growth," Jameson said. "The House of Representatives has already passed two pieces of legislation that would replace sequestration with common sense spending cuts. The Senate, at this point, has not passed any legislation that would replace sequestration.
"The president has been calling for a tax increase and a balanced approach, but he hasn't really laid that out. The Senate needs to act. It's a reoccurring theme that the House passes legislation and the Senate, rather than take it up, modify and work with it, does nothing and that, I think, is the frustration we have at this point."
DesJarlais said the consensus of businesspeople at the Chamber meeting was that government is too big and everyone feels overregulated.
"We need to find a way to get government out of our lives and let the private sector work," he said.
Congress, he continued, must find the will to make changes.
"Our backs are against the wall. We can't continue to put things off. I think people are going to see that through this first round of cuts," he said. "It's going to become real that we have to finally recognize once and for all we have a spending problem."
The congressman said the House would pass a responsible budget in April. He hopes there will be one from the Senate so the two chambers can hammer out the first budget in four years.
"We have another debt ceiling in May that will give us a leverage point to enforce this budget. I'm kind of giving an arbitrary deadline of June 1 to see something meaningful come out of Washington," he said.
DesJarlais said Americans understand the national debt will harm future generations. They are willing to take steps and have adult discussions. But, he said, people would not be so willing to give up their earnings if they saw how money is being wasted in all areas of government.
"The federal government is failing to take tax money and pay down the debt. Anything that comes in the form of increased revenue is spent.
"The new tax increase the president asked for generated about $60 billion in tax revenue a year. We turned around and with the stroke of a pen; we sent $60 billion to fund Hurricane Sandy relief. There was no offset for this," he said.
He is not opposed to hurricane relief. However, the top priority now is to get the federal government to admit there is a spending problem and then make sensible spending cuts across the board.
He said the previous Congress was an example of party politics over policy and posturing by both parties.
"In the 113th, we've got to realize we need to come together and solve some of these issues," he said. "In the first two months of this Congress, I see a little more spirit of cooperation and I hope that's a sign of things to come."

We don't have a crystal ball, but no bogus future-telling devices are necessary to assure our fans that the New Year holds much promise and a full slate of fun-filled beer-centric events here at Stone. From some of the country's most highly anticipated beer festivals to educational session and outright gorge-fests, there's something for every kind of beer lover, and we're proud to bring as much variety as we will delicious craft ales and lagers. The following is a breakdown of what we have in store for you in 2014!
Pour It Black
Stone's Slate of 2013 Events
It took just a few short hours after the big keg drop at the Stone New Year's Celebration for us to get to work planning another big year at our Southern California digs. After a few weeks of scheming, tweaking, revising and fine-tuning, we're ready to share our entire schedule of momentous events that will come to pass at Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens*in 2013! Get out your calendar and prepare to "X" out a great many dates. See you soon!
What a Year: Looking Back on 2012
It seems like we say this every twelve months (probably because we do), but this has been a huge year for us at Stone. Perhaps the biggest yet. Things never slow down here, and that's the way we like it. Truth be told, we wouldn't know what to do with ourselves if we had a spare moment! So a heartfelt thank you goes out to each and every one of our fans for ensuring we maintain the breakneck pace we've become so accustomed to.
Despite our infatuation with constant rapid progress, we feel compelled to take a moment, be it ever so brief, to reflect on the year gone by. A lot happened in our brewhouse, at our restaurant, in our community and beyond. This was a very good year, one that should be fully remembered for years to come. In that spirit, we submit to you, our valued fans, a retrospective of 2012 at Stone.

When I arrived at my next-to-the-last-row seat I was informed by the female FA that the back row of seats were reserved for the FA's...and they must have been as they sat in them and read during most of the flt. The only time they were in the aisle was for the beverage cart. They did not even offer peanuts or pretzels on a 3-hour international flt from MIA to CUR. One of the male FA's spoke very rudely to one of my seat mates. Would not have flown AA but it is the "only game in town" to get to Curacao. I retired from an airline and I question their behavior.

FRAM Youth Club Goals and Objectives
FRAM's goal is to be the premier youth soccer club in the Los Angeles South Bay, and one of the most respected and admired clubs in all of youth soccer. It is the objective of FRAM to create a healthy, positive and fun competitive environment where talented athletes can work to develop themselves as outstanding people, citizens, students, leaders and soccer players.
The philosophy of our club and our coaches is one of Champions. Our coaches strive to help all our players become Champions, not just as soccer players, but also as individuals and teammates. We believe a successful club will produce winning teams and championships, and FRAM teams have won at every level. However we measure success not just by the final score, but also by the wins we witness everyday at practice and during games -- mastering a new skill, making a smart decision, taking a risk, or providing support to a teammate, or an opponent, in need. Success in club soccer is not the destination, we are part of a journey, always going
, on a path of success.
FRAM Youth Club Organization
FRAM Soccer Club is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to youth soccer. FRAM Soccer Club has a formal structure with an Executive Committee and Youth Board. Bylaws for the Club are in place that dictate the way the Club functions and methods by which Officers and other members are elected to the Executive Committee or Youth Board.

FRAM Youth Club Coaching Staff
Led by our Director of Coaching, Joey Hoffman, FRAM coaches are among the most qualified and experienced in the South Bay. Our coaching staff has extensive and diverse playing and coaching experience including professional, US National Team, Olympic Development Program, NCAA, College, High School and Club. Many of our coaches are also currently coaching at the professional, semi-professional, national team, college or high school level. Most FRAM coaches have A, B or C USSF Licenses. Continuing coaching education is a core philosophy at the club benefiting both coaches AND players. As a result of our focus on recruiting and retaining the best professional coaches, FRAM has become the club of choice for premier coaches looking for opportunities in the South Bay.
Click here for the Coaching Staff page.
FRAM Youth Club Teams
FRAM youth teams participate in the
Coast Soccer League
in the Fall Season, and certain of our older teams also participate in the California Regional League, Pacific National Premier League and the Far West Regional League. We continue to evaluate, every season, which league and tournaments best meet our goals as a club in terms of level of competition, player development, travel, cost requirements and overall opportunity.
Players all develop at their own pace, and finding a team that will give each player the maximum opportunity to play helps insure that player development occurs, and that our players will continue to enjoy the game and reach their potential. It is therefore our goal to organize teams so players of similar abilities play together, and this is often referred to as an A/B team system. It is believed this is the best way to field the strongest teams, while still providing for the development and growth for all FRAM players.
FRAM's approach of coordinating the recruiting, formation and training of teams within each age group, and looking at each age group as one pool of FRAM players, provides the opportunity for players to guest with or move from one FRAM team to another as their skills, ability and performance continue to develop. FRAM teams operate as part of a true club -- with a common curriculum and goals.
FRAM Youth Club Teams typically train at least twice a week, and play competitive games and tournaments on weekends. While there are breaks in the winter and early summer, it is a year-round experience and commitment to soccer, with teams playing between 30-50 games each year. At the younger ages, we emphasize player and team development. As the teams enter the older brackets, we expect that development to produce success on the field, and help our players take the next step to college and life beyond FRAM.
Soccer for Tots & Soccer for Sixes
Starting at ages 3-5, we offer Coach Clive's Soccer for Tots and Soccer for Sixes programs. The program is an age-appropriate soccer based curriculum. Classes are formatted to allow each child the opportunity to develop their soccer skills at his or her own pace without the pressure of competition. Our goal is to give kids the best possible introduction to the sport allowing them to develop a true love of the game, which in turn creates a desire to practice, improve and succeed.
FRAM Juniors Program
This program, formerly called the FRAM Youth Soccer Academy, is a fun developmental program that is designed for boys and girls ages 6 through 10. It is designed for players interested in developing their individual ball skills, but not quite ready to begin competitive club soccer. Players work on individual skills in both 1 player - 1 ball and small sided game situations. The players work on turns, dribble moves, shooting, heading, control, etc. Sessions are once a week and run in 10 week sessions.
FRAM Academy Teams Program
The FRAM Academy Teams Program is designed for boys and girls ages 6 to 9 years, and is a stepping-stone to our competitive FRAM club teams. Now in its third year, the Academy Teams program has been a huge success, drawing some of the area's best youth players, and producing club teams that have seen much success when they move on to competitive soccer.
The coaches focus on developing skills along with a love for the game. We emphasize teaching players the proper technique and form with regards to ball handling, dribbling, passing, receiving and shooting. Along with developing future stars on the ball, we emphasize good sportsmanship and passion for the game as we develop the players and the teams of FRAM's future. Our coaches are truly dedicated to providing a great soccer experience for children and their families.
Players have two training sessions a week, participate in the club weekly skills training, play in the Fall U8 division of Coast Soccer League, play in two tournaments and more.
Players must try out for this program and be selected to participate. Formal tryouts take place in December, but players can join the team at any time throughout the year.
FRAM Youth Club Teams
FRAM Youth Soccer Club has over 35 competitive soccer teams for boys and girls ages 8 to 19, and our club participates in the Southern California Developmental Soccer League (SCDSL). Led by our Director of Coaching, Joey Hoffman, FRAM coaches are among the most qualified and experienced in club soccer. Please see above for more information on the FRAM Youth Club.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my campaign website. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. This year is going to be very exciting, and I look forward to earning your support as I work toward becoming the next congressman for the 3rd district of Wisconsin.
The big question that I am being asked is, "Why are you running?" I decided to run after working for Senator Ron Johnson. The senator was kind enough to employ me after I was discharged from the Army. Once I got to Washington, all I saw were signs that our country is headed in the wrong direction. I have always fought for what I believe in, and I believe this country is not doomed to decline. I can beat Ron Kind and in doing so help to steer this country back in the right direction.

A Visit Today from Carabinero Amable/Officer Friendly
This morning Andy and I went down the elevator together, me on my way to a doctor's appointment, him to work as he always does:
Andy, my son of 25 years (with DS) has been making his way to work and to the gym in Chile now for nearly a year without incident. Now that his sister and her boyfriend are also living/working in Chile and they have an apartment only a few blocks away from us, his world has expanded a little more. And now we have a little more homework for him and a little neighborhood-work for the residents and local police/carabineros. Seems today Andy decided it would be better to go visit the relatives than to go to work. A kindly concerned neighbor spotted him out on the street where his sister lives and called the police.
Andy NEVER leaves home without his wallet- and the couple of times that he has forgotten it he returns home to pick it up. Two carabineros- our "amigos siempre" (friends always) showed up to escort this apparently "lost little lamb"home. They were able to locate his RUT card (Chilean National ID card) in his wallet (not sure if Andy was patted down for it or he gave up the wallet to Carabinero Amable when asked for it). Through the RUT card they were able to locate his residence and brought him right back home.
How wonderful the support from the Concierge who insisted to Carabinero Amable that he was NOT lost...that he most assuredly knew where he was....and was out visiting relatives. Now whether or not he should have been there... well that's another issue. Carabinero Amable could not believe that. The Concierge then proceeded to explain how Andy always walks alone to work and to workouts, how he is a very capable young man.... a concept that still seems hard to accept in a country who continues to hide or even lock their family members away.
Carabinero Amable made his way up to our apartment to hand off this wayward young man and to ask our nana/maid how it was he was out of her sight and control. Well, that of course made the nana concerned and worried... because we ALL know it's the nana's responsibility to watch the pets and disabled. Try as she could she didn't quite make it clear to Carbinero Amable that Andy ALWAYS goes out on his own, that he was his own man. She even pointed to the office building visible from the kitchen window.
Carabinero Amable left our nana his name and phone number to contact. We've tried calling quite a few times to no avail. Hmmm....wonder who watches out for the Carabinero Amables in the neighborhood. We will continue to call. In the meantime we will also be making a visit to neighborhood Carabinero station with Andy and hopefully with the Carabinero who attended our Seminar, Cuidan@s y Discapcidad Intelectual.
He has offered to work as liaison and even asked about setting up work opportunities for people with disabilities. And he wasn't alone at the seminar. Other ranking officers from the military attended.
Time to put Carabinero Amable's offer to the test. Time to review with Andy when he needs to go to work and when he can go visiting. Time to practice more how to respond in Spanish his name and address. And time to celebrate that Andy is a very capable young man!
intellectual disability,

'Q' troupe cues 'Fidelity' tuner
Producing team expects to workshop production in 2005
NEW YORK -- The producers of "Avenue Q" are looking to a follow-up project: a musical version of "High Fidelity."
Robyn Goodman, Kevin McCollum and Jeffrey Seller have acquired the rights from Disney to the Nick Hornby novel and the Stepehn Frears-directed film.
Story of a record store owner who recounts his romantic breakups will be brought to the stage by playwright David Lindasay-Abaire, composer Tom Kitt and lyricist Amanda Green.
John Cusack starred in Frears' 2000 film version, which shifted Hornby's London setting to Chicago. For the tuner incarnation, the record shop moves again -- to New York.
"We don't know Chicago," said Lindsay-Abaire, author of "Fuddy Meers." "Nick Hornby said the best adaptations are when you make it your own."
Kitt and Green came up with the idea to turn "High Fidelity" into a stage musical.
After writing a few songs on spec and performing them in their cabaret act, the duo got Disney to agree to the project. "At least in the ether, if not on paper," explained Green, daughter of theater legend Adolph Green.
The tuner world is small. Green knew the "Avenue Q" producers from having performed in the show's early workshops, playing the Gary Coleman character. Goodman and Lindsay-Abaire have been at work on a musical version of the "Betty Boop" cartoon.
All three creatives are repped by John Buzzetti at the Gersh Agency.
Green said "High Fidelity" lent itself to musical treatment. "The book is about people who live in a pop-music world and are obsessed with pop music." "The hero's life is a soundtrack," said Kitt, "and the big moments are songs."
According to Green, the tuner will use elements of both the novel and film.
Goodman said the producing team expected to workshop "High Fidelity" in summer 2005 but had not yet decided on its development route. "Avenue Q" came to Broadway under their producer tutelage by playing such nonprofit venues as the O'Neill Playwrights Conference, the Vineyard Theater and the New Group.
Before "High Fidelity" rocks, Goodman and producer Ken Davenport will unveil musical revue "Altar Boyz" at the New York Musical Theater in September.
"Rent" producers McCollum and Seller begin previews in November of "White Christmas" at San Francisco's Curran Theater.

NYC's 59th Street Subway Coffee Cup Mosaics
Posted on January 8, 2012 by Mike
Why is this subway station decorated with mosaics of coffee cups? I'm not sure, New York's first coffee roaster was located on Pearl Street, not 59th. But NYC has a long history of mosaics in the subway. There's a flickr group devoted to it, and even a Wikipedia page. The best resource I've found so far is the art guide on NYC Subway.org, they have a collection of 239 different pieces of art. Excluding the illegal art, of course.

Jerusalem—During the "Arab Spring" that seized nations throughout the Middle East, conditions were relatively quiet for Israel. But analysts knew that wouldn't last: It was only a matter of time before the radical Islamists would turn their wrath on the Jewish state.
Now, it has happened. Back in 2010, before the Arab Spring swept through the Middle East, Hamas fired 231 rockets into the Jewish nation from its home base in the Gaza Strip. Last year, that number nearly tripled to 627. This year, before Israel launched "Operation Pillar of Defense" on November 14, Hamas had fired about 800 rockets into Israel. And during the week-long Israeli offensive, Hamas countered by launching another 900 missiles into Israel.

Repeal of the Federal Gun Free School Zones Act.
After the tragedy at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, it is now time to keep our children safe by eliminating the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990. Criminals can and have ignored these zones, but the law-abiding citizens that teach or work at our schools can not. Our teachers should have the right to protect themselves and their students if they what the choice to arm themselves for self-defense and the defense of the children. Our schools need to be a safe place for our children to learn as well as our teachers to teach. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families and friends of the victims in that tragedy. God Bless..

BMW's M division has a long, proud history of building cars with an emphasis on sport. Through the years, BMW M cars have gotten faster, more refined, and more luxurious, but at the expense of weight and physical size. The BMW 1 Series M Coupe is on a mission to right that course, claiming to been inspired by the original (and some say, the greatest) M car: the first-generation E30 series M3.
Consider the 1 Series M Coupe's dimensions. Measuring 172.4 inches from nose to tail, the car is just 1.3-inches longer than a 1988 M3. Of course, the M Coupe is wider by 4.8 inches, has a longer wheelbase by 3 inches, and is heavier by several hundred pounds (3296 compared to the 1988 M3's 2800-pound curb weight). Still, compared to the current 3700-pound M3 coupe, the 1 Series M is a lightweight.
Compared to the 135i, the 1 Series M Coupe features some significant design changes. Flared fenders and rear quarter panels are necessary to cover a track that has been increased by 2.8 inches up front and 1.8 inches out back. The new front fascia contains a wide central air intake covered by a honeycomb-pattern grille, flanked by two smaller ducts on either side -- mandatory to feed air to both the oil cooler and the supplemental radiator during track stints. On the extreme sides of the front fascia, openings BMW calls air curtains allow high-pressure air to "curtain" the front wheels, reducing turbulence. The technology is applied for the first time on the 1 Series M Coupe. Out back, the rear fascia features ducts similar in style (though not in function), and a lip spoiler is fitted to the trunk lid. M3-style side mirrors are wind-tunnel optimized and M-characteristic fender vents incorporate both turn indicators and the M badge.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Semper!
Facts about Semper
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: White
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Semper's Info...
I am up to date with shots and good with cats.
Semper was rescued from Laronde, where a lovely cat was nursing him and his brother, as well as 2 other kittens from another litter. Semper is a bit nervous still, as he was used to living out in the wild with his brothers. With a bit of time and patience, Simper will be easily socialed. Everyday, he gets braver and more social, as his foster family give him lots of attention. He is a typical playful kitten who loves to jump and run with his brothers. He is now looking for a loving home where he will have lots of love and affection.
Other Pets at PetitsPawz Cat Refuge of Montreal
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Semper, a Montreal Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Montreal, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Montreal.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Montreal already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Montreal breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Montreal paves the way for another one to be saved.

CAIRO — Just hours after an Islamist-dominated assembly approved a new national constitution Friday, tens of thousands of protesters began pouring into Tahrir Square to say they objected to nearly everything about it.
They objected to constitution-writing assembly itself, which they said was unrepresentative after liberal, secular and Christian members walked out.
They objected to what they knew of the charter, which does not contain explicit protections for minority religions or women's rights and which many referred to as the "Muslim Brotherhood constitution," a reference to the Islamist backers of Egypt's first democratically elected president, Mohammed Morsi.
And on the eighth day after Morsi decreed himself near-absolute powers in the name of preserving democratic gains, a disparate array of protesters chanted "down with Morsi" and other revolutionary slogans uttered during the popular uprising that toppled Egypt's longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak nearly two years ago.
"I came down here to say no to the constitution and no to the constitutional declaration," said Hanaa Sweries, a former teacher who was protesting in Tahrir Square for the first time Friday, referring to Morsi's decree.
"I knew from the start what he would do, but what is a surprise to me is that there are clashes so soon. I expected goodwill would last longer."
And so it was that what was supposed to be a proud moment in the course of post-Mubarak Egypt — the birth of a new national charter to guide the path forward — degenerated into one more disappointment to liberals who seem ever more distrustful of Morsi and stunned at what their fragile democratic transition has wrought.
The constitution now goes to Morsi's office. If he approves it, Morsi must call for a public referendum on the charter within the next two weeks.
The U.S. State Department weighed in on the deepening political crisis Friday, expressing concern over the "apparent lack of consensus during the drafting process."
"If President Morsi approves this constitution, then the people of Egypt will have a chance via referendum to express their views on it," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
The constitution, which was being changed and repunctuated even as it was being voted on in a 13-hour session that stretched from late Thursday into Friday morning, represents neither the worst fears nor highest hopes of Egyptians.
It affirms that Egyptian law stems from "the principles of Islam," for instance, but did not codify some of the strict moral codes Morsi's more fundamentalist Islamist backers wanted.
The charter states no law can limit the freedoms and rights set out in the constitution yet also says that the expression of those freedoms cannot undermine the "true nature of the family." Freedom of religion is explicitly protected for Muslims, Christians and Jews, but not other religions.
The view in Tahrir Square on Friday seemed to be that whatever is in the new constitution's 234 articles, the process that brought it about was so flawed the charter could not possibly be supported.
"I don't like whatever it says," said one protester, a doctor who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "The way it was passed, I'm not happy."
Beyond Cairo, demonstrations sprang up Friday in Alexandria and other cities across Egypt to signal resistance to the charter, which remains mired in legal chaos stemming from Morsi's power struggle with Mubarak-era judges.
Egypt's highest court dissolved the Islamist-dominated Parliament this summer and had threatened to dissolve the Islamist-dominated constitution-drafting panel, too, prompting the body to hustle the draft constitution to approval.
Morsi has repeatedly cast last week's decree as necessary to speed Egypt's democratic transition, saying he would relinquish his newly acquired powers once the constitution is fully adopted.
Demonstrators in Tahrir Square on Friday wave banners depicting some of the more well-known individuals who died in the Egyptian revolution

A formidable opponent, led by a dynamic freshman and buoyed by hungry upperclassmen who are putting a recent losing season firmly in their program's rearview mirror.
But it won't be Pioneer High School occupying the visiting bench at Yolo Fairgrounds tonight when the fourth-seeded Cardinals (22-2) play their Division V Sac-Joaquin Section playoff opener. Instead it will be No. 5 seed Central Catholic of Modesto, a program which has gone from an 8-15 season in 2010-11 to three straight years with 16 wins or better, including 16-9 this year.
Tip-off for tonight's second-round game -- both teams received first-round byes in the 11-team tournament field -- is 7 p.m. The winner advances to the semifinals Wednesday at Galt High, where it could face top-seed and defending champion Brookside Christian of Stockton.
Woodland Christian has won its last 15 games since a Dec. 16 loss to San Juan. It's only other defeat was a 64-59 setback 10 days earlier at Pioneer, which features standout freshman guard Shanaijah Davison.
Central Catholic is led by its own 5-foot-9 inch freshman in Danielle Friedrich, who leads the Raiders in scoring at 19.7 per game. Unlike Davison, whose talent shines best on the perimeter, Friedrich also does woman's work in the paint. She's reached double figures in both points and rebounds in eight of Central Catholic's last 13 games according to stats on

Of all the future advancements touted by the automotive industry in recent years, none has commanded as much attention as the prospect of the Intelligent Auto – vehicles equipped with a broadband networking capability that enables a wide array of enhanced safety, navigation, communications, and vehicle maintenance applications.
Such vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications scenarios may seem like wishful thinking promoted alongside 'concept cars' at the big auto shows, but the core technology behind it is widely used today in various industrial and military applications.
Connectivity is the catalyst that will propel this technology to widespread consumer and commercial use – and that connectivity is now available. Through the combination of Rajant BreadCrumb® wireless devices and InstaMesh® routing software, broadband wireless networks are created that can support hundreds of in-motion nodes without crippling the network with overhead.
Vehicles equipped with broadband would benefit from many of the applications used by 'stationary' network users. Terrestrial and satellite radio could be supplemented with the infinite variety of web-based radio. Emergency communication systems, like those offered by some auto manufacturers, could be replaced or augmented with VoIP and web-based alert systems.
By employing Rajant Kinetic Mesh Networking technology that is already proven in challenging, bandwidth- and application-intensive environments, and marrying it to existing on-board vehicle diagnostic systems, automakers, dealers, and fleet managers can realize immediate, substantial business benefits. Consumers would benefit from the added safety, fuel economy, and pre-emptive maintenance benefits that ultimately prolong the life of a vehicle.
Because the Rajant technology is highly scalable, and can accommodate multiple radios on a single node, future applications such as collision avoidance systems can be easily integrated into the existing system bus. The aggregate "actionable knowledge" gained by automobile makers will also impact future design considerations and improve the safety and efficiency of vehicles.
There are immediate environmental benefits as well. With 12 to 15 million vehicles sold annually in the U.S., the impact of pre-emptive diagnostics on fuel consumption, air pollution, and disposal of chemicals and components (tires, system fluids, heavy metal-based electronics) would be immediate and substantial.
Future applications of such technology include, but are not limited to:
