QUOTE: "There is a lot of evil on the Internet, things that should not be there. When they seek, what are they going to find? If Christians aren't there to help people find Jesus, what will they find? If that scares you a little bit, it probably should." —Michele Diedrich, communications director of Global Media Outreach, speaking at a webinar last week in honor of Internet Evangelism Day. Global Media Outreach, an arm of Campus Crusade for Christ, focuses on sharing the gospel online. Last year they reported some 10 million decisions for Christ. [toledoblade.com, 4/24/10]

YREKA, Calif. — Three decades of service in law enforcement and being U.S. Soldier and Marine didn't keep the federal government from prohibiting the Siskiyou County Sheriff from purchasing a new gun.
Six weeks ago, Sheriff John Lopey tried to order a new rifle for personal use. This week he found out his application for the firearm was denied.
According to Lopey, he received a letter informing him that he was flagged on a federal data base known as NICS or the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. The Sheriff says the letter was vague on the details of the denial and federal officials haven't shed any light on the topic.
Lopey says his California background check came back squeaky clean. As a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, Lopey says he is bothered by what the flagging implies.
"What you're essentially telling me is not only can I not purchase a weapon, but if I can't purchase a weapon, then essentially you're telling me I shouldn't possess or own a weapon," said Lopey.
The Sheriff did mention the federal flag on his name could be something as simple as a glitch, or perhaps identity theft, but as Lopey explained he'd rather it be one of the former, than a political or bureaucratic move against him.

A cursor lets you retrieve data from a result set one row at a time. In the topics that follow, you'll learn about the different types of cursors that you can use with a SQL Server database. You'll also learn about the Transact-SQL statements for working with cursors.
A cursor is a database object that points to a result set. You use a cursor to identify the row you want to retrieve from the result set. This concept is presented in the illustration below.
Cursors are most often used by application programs that work with the data in a database. In most cases, these programs use a standard database AN (application programming interface) that provides access to SQL Server databases through cursors. Then, application programmers can work with the programming language and API they're most familiar with.
Since an AN cursor is managed by the API on the client machine, you don't need to write any SQL code to support this type of cursor on the server. If you need to, however, you can create and use your own Transact-SQL cursors on the server. You'll use this type of cursor in one of two ways. First, you can use them within your own scripts or procedures. Second, you can sometimes use them to provide database access to an application program that doesn't use one of the standard database APIs.
This section also describes two situations when you might code Transact-SQL cursors for your own use. The more likely use is for administrative scripts or procedures that you use to manage your own database. In particular, this is useful for scripts that make use of system stored procedures or system tables to generate dynamic SQL. You'll see an example of this kind of script later in this chapter. Transact-SQL cursors can also be useful if you need to perform different operations on different rows in a table and the selection criteria are more complex than you can code in a WHERE clause.
Before you use a Transact-SQL cursor to solve a particular problem, you should consider other solutions first. That's because standard, set-based data-base access is faster and uses fewer server resources than cursor-based access. In some cases, however, you'll find that a problem can be solved only with the use of a cursor.
Although you'll probably use Transact-SQL cursors much less often than API cursors, I can't show you how to use API cursors because each API implements them in a different way. However, I can show you how to code Transact-SQL cursors. Since both API cursors and Transact-SQL cursors work similarly, learning how to code Transact-SQL cursors should prepare you for learning how to use API cursors.
How a cursor works
A result set with a cursor that points to the first row
The first row of the result set retrieved through the cursor
The two implementations of SQL Server cursors
- Cursors implemented through standard database APIs
- Cursors implemented through Transact-SQL
Two common uses for Transact-SQL cursors
- For your own use in scripts and procedures
- For use in procedures that provide database access to application programs that can't use standard database APIs
When to code Transact-SQL cursors for your own use
- For administrative scripts and procedures that manipulate database objects using dynamic SQL or system stored procedures
- For scripts or procedures that need to do something different to each row in a result set based on criteria that are more complex than can be stated in a WHERE clause
- By default, SQL statements work with all the rows in a result set. If you need to work with data one row at a time, you can use a cursor.
- The common database APIs (application programming interfaces), such as ADONET and ODBC, use cursors to provide application programs access to SQL Server data. Since the API manages the cursor on the client, you don't need to write any Transact-SQL code on the server.
- Although some programming problems require the use of Transact-SQL cursors, you won't use them often. Since cursors are slower and take up more system resources than other database access techniques, you should avoid using them whenever possible.
- Transact-SQL cursors are similar to API cursors. If you understand how Transact-SQL cursors work, then, you'll have a general understanding of how you might work with API cursors.

"I was skeptical about ordering invitations online but had only heard wonderful things about Wedding Paper Divas, so we decided to go ahead and order. I am so glad that we did! The invitations turned out beautifully. The paper is incredibly nice, the design is flawless, and the color is just like what is shown on the site. We decided not to personalize the color as the color was very similar to our wedding colors. However, we did have an extra line we wanted added and our designer helped us with that tremendously! I also contacted Wedding Paper Divas with a few questions here and there, and they were always quick to answer and very helpful. Thank you for making our invitations so beautiful!"
"We got the save-the-dates earlier along the same theme, and were pumped we found these invites to match. They look great, & they fit perfectly with our vintage-winery theme. Everything arrived early, packaged together, everything is organized, pulled together... exactly what I need right now in the wedding planning process!"
"I'm marrying a retired Marine - and the green is close to "Marine" green. Stock is very thick, card has a wonderful texture to it, and looked very elegant. We got the matching RSVP cards which also came out great. Couldn't be happier with the invitations and the service from Wedding Paper Divas. Package was also very protected, and delivery was very quick."
"Paper quality of the whole suite is fantastic, colors are beautiful and they look even better than they did online. Delivered way earlier than the date on my order notification. Highly recommend!!"

Does all-German Champions League final spell trouble for the Bundesliga?By Jonathan Hawkins, CNNUpdated 1456 GMT (2156 HKT) May 22, 2013Are twin titans good for Germany? 10 photosHead and shoulders – Bayern Munich won the German Bundesliga title by a margin of 25 points from second placed Borussia Dortmund, who have been champions in the two previous seasons. Bayern finished an incredible 36 points clear of fourth placed Schalke. Critics argue the dominance of both clubs could be bad for Germany's top tier, which they say is becoming too predictable.Hide Caption 1 of 10Are twin titans good for Germany? 10 photosChampions of Europe – As well as domestic dominance, both clubs are excelling in European competition. Germany's top two -- Bayern and Dortmund -- will contest the Champions League final at Wembley on May 25.Hide Caption 2 of 10Are twin titans good for Germany? 10 photosGoing, going Gotze – Just days before Dortmund's Champions League semifinal with Spanish giants Real Madrid it was confirmed one of their star players, Mario Gotze, would be joining Bayern next season for a deal reported to be worth $56 million. Signing one of their nearest rivals' best players should only strengthen Bayern's grip on domestic competition.Hide Caption 3 of 10Are twin titans good for Germany? 10 photosPep talk – All-conquering Bayern, who will contest the German Cup final on June 1 as they seek an historic treble, are preparing to welcome Josep Guardiola as their new coach for next season. The former Barcelona manager won 14 trophies in a four-year spell at the Spanish giants, sparking a clamor for his signature after he spent a year out of the game.Hide Caption 4 of 10Are twin titans good for Germany? 10 photosYellow wall – German clubs are famed for being well run, creating a good atmosphere at games, with Dortmund's Westfalenstadion a case in point. Cheap tickets for standing areas play a large part in that, and Dortmund's players make a point of thanking their supporters after every game.Hide Caption 5 of 10Are twin titans good for Germany? 10 photosHamburg vote – All but three top-flight clubs -- Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim -- are owned by supporters under the 50+1 rule, that dictates clubs must be majority owned by fans to prevent them being taken over by private investors. The last vote on changing the "50+1" rule came back in 2009 and only Hannover 96 voted to scrap it. Here Hamburg fans hold up banners at a recent Bundesliga match against Hannover that reads: "Us for you, you for us."Hide Caption 6 of 10Are twin titans good for Germany? 10 photosOne giant Leipzig – There are exceptions lower down the leagues too. In 2009, soft drinks giant Red Bull bought the license of German fifth division club SSV Markranstädt to create Rasen Ballsport Leipzig. The aim was to make the top tier -- the Bundesliga -- within 10 years. Leipzig will contest a playoff to make the third division in June.Hide Caption 7 of 10Are twin titans good for Germany? 10 photos50+1 rule – Red Bull was prevented from attaching its brand name to the club so settled for calling it Rasen Ballsport Leipzig, shortened to RB Leipzig so as to carry the energy drink firm's initials.

A new training center and youth academy, currently being built, will open in 2015 at a cost of $45 million.Hide Caption 10 of 10Story highlightsBayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund to contest Champions League finalGerman football's Bundesliga is often held up as ideal league modelIts "50+1" ownership rule viewed as key to stability for its clubsBut have Bayern and Dortmund created "duopoly" endangering that stability?Most fans would agree that a great football league needs some key ingredients: skilful players, excitement and drama on the pitch; and off the field, passionate supporters and owners who love and understand the game. But these days soccer is also about big business, million-dollar deals and billionaire benefactors lining up to plow money into the game. Those seeking a balance between these sometimes awkward bedfellows will often point to Germany and the Bundesliga. With two clubs in Saturday's Champions League final at London's Wembley Stadium, high attendances, keenly-priced season tickets, equitable club ownership and the national team on an upward trajectory, German football appears to be in rude health. But is it?In the domestic Bundesliga, Bayern finished 25 points clear of Dortmund and 36 points ahead of fourth-placed Schalke 04. If Manchester United's path to the English Premier League title looked like a cakewalk, the German champions could have taken the entire dessert trolley along with them. Arguably the competition is beginning to resemble anything but. Writing in the German tabloid Bild last month, Bayern's former goalkeeper Oliver Kahn expressed fears that the domination of the Munich club and Dortmund -- Bundesliga champions in 2011 and 2012 -- is here to stay, and that the gulf at the top could widen even further in the future. Even Dortmund's manager Jürgen Klopp has remarked that the league is in danger of becoming boring. Arguably Dortmund were unable to mount an effective challenge this season as they saved their best performances for the Champions League.Just WatchedCNN Football Club: Bayern dominate BarcareplayMore Videos ...CNN Football Club: Bayern dominate Barca 23:03PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedDo Bayern Munich need Pep Guardiola?replayMore Videos ...Do Bayern Munich need Pep Guardiola? 01:28PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedCNN FC: Do Bayern Munich need Guardiola?replayMore Videos ...CNN FC: Do Bayern Munich need Guardiola? 22:46PLAY VIDEOBut the brilliance of both Bayern and Dortmund in their respective semifinal wins against Real Madrid and Barcelona suggests the Bundesliga needs to be wary of an emerging duopoly. Read: Bayern give Heynckes winning Bundesliga farewellIt's not hard to see why Bayern and Dortmund have become so omnipotent both at home and abroad."Two great managers, two teams that almost mirror each other in the way they play, the way they attack, the way they defend without the ball," former Bayern midfielder Owen Hargreaves told CNN. "Bayern have only conceded something like 15 goals, which is ridiculous in a full season," he added. "At Dortmund, the average age is 23, and I think Jürgen Klopp has done such a remarkable job to take that group of players and virtually dominate some terrific European teams."Yet among German fans there are concerns."Of course the current situation could become unhealthy," said Stuart Dykes, a Schalke season ticket-holder since 1988, and the supporter liaison officer project consultant at fan ownership campaigning body, Supporters Direct."Even Bayern, while obviously delighted to have won the title so comfortably, have talked about it not being in their interests to do it every year. Ultimately the overall product of German football would suffer."Dortmund revivalNot content with running away with the Bundesliga this season, Bayern are already laying plans to dominate next season, notably with the appointment of former Barca coach Pep Guardiola -- who guided the Catalonia club to 14 trophies in four years -- to take over from Jupp Heynckes. Dortmund's hopes of catching Bayern next season have been further jeopardized by the loss of playmaker Mario Gotze, who recently agreed to join the Munich club at the end of this season in a $56 million deal.Rumors of a Bayern bid for the Bundesliga's second-highest scorer Robert Lewandowski, whose four goals against Real Madrid in the semis propelled Dortmund to Wembley, suggest a strategy centered on dismantling their only rivals' chances before next season has even begun.Just WatchedAre German teams the best in Europe?replayMore Videos ...Are German teams the best in Europe? 03:56PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedAlex Ferguson's recipe for successreplayMore Videos ...Alex Ferguson's recipe for success 02:42PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedFriedel: 'Bale can be world's best'replayMore Videos ...Friedel: 'Bale can be world's best' 02:39PLAY VIDEORead: English Premier League should follow Bundesliga exampleThe consolation for Dortmund fans is that at least the club has some money to spend to try to keep pace. Eight years ago it was on the brink of financial ruin, missing rent payments on its stadium and facing crippling losses. Extraordinarily, a loan from Bayern played a part in Dortmund's survival -- with $2.5 million handed over to help stave off bankruptcy.Dortmund's path back to solvency and success has been paved by Klopp's highly astute signings, such as Poland striker Lewandowski, as well as his trust in talented graduates from the club's youth academy, like midfielder Nuri Sahin. But it has been the club's willingness to part with its top players at the height of their value that has restored Dortmund's financial health. Shinji Kagawa, signed for just $300,000 from the Japanese second division, was sold to Manchester United for $17 million, while Sahin joined Real Madrid for $12.8 million. "Obviously (Dortmund and Bayern) have the power and the money to buy the best players as Bayern has done again; they've signed Götze for £37 million, and you know, the rich get richer, and that's just the way that football works," said Hargreaves."People can argue that's not fair, but they paid a lot of money to Dortmund -- and they can invest that money in younger players."Read: Bayern complete rout of BarcelonaIn England, the Premier League has taken a laissez-faire approach to regulating clubs' finances. Alongside huge television deals -- the latest of which could see a record £5.5 billion ($8.3 billion) windfall in broadcasting income -- extraordinarily wealthy owners such as Chelsea's Roman Abramovich and Sheikh Mansour at Manchester City have been allowed to spend big for success. But the model in Germany is very different.Under the league's "50+1" rule, Bundesliga clubs must be controlled by their members -- with at least 50% of shares, plus one, in their hands.

"The rules have had exceptions to allow for the different ownership structures of teams like Bayer Leverkusen and Vfl Wolfsburg, but Hannover has argued that this leaves them at a disadvantage, and you can see why."Read: Football enters space age with 'Footbonaut'But how is a booming Bundesliga affecting German football further down the feeding chain?In the former East Germany, far from the country's football powerbase, one lowly team's fortunes are being transformed by Austrian soft drink company Red Bull's takeover. In 2009, Rasen Ballsport Leipzig (better known as RB Leipzig) became the fourth club in Red Bull's football portfolio, alongside Red Bull Salzburg of Austria, Red Bull Brasil, and the New York Red Bulls of the American MLS. Formerly known as SSV Markranstädt, league regulations prevent the club using the Red Bull brand in its name, so it settled on RB Leipzig instead; but there is no ambiguity over the power driving it forward, with a reported planned $128 million investment to take the club to the Bundesliga by 2017. After promotion in its first season, followed by two years in German football's fourth tier, its plans look to be on track as the club prepares to contest the playoffs for another promotion in June. The club's stadium, the impressive 45,000 capacity Red Bull Arena, is certainly ready.Just Watched2012: Football gloom in Munich replayMore Videos ...2012: Football gloom in Munich 02:14PLAY VIDEOClose but not close enough for Real 7 photosClose but not close enough for Real 7 photosRueful Ronaldo – Cristiano Ronaldo had a wonderful chance to put Real in front early on but sent his volley straight at Dortmund keeper Roman Weidenfeller.Hide Caption 1 of 7Close but not close enough for Real 7 photosOff target from Ozil – Mesut Ozil reacts after missing a glorious opportunity to give Real the lead after breaking clear of the Dortmund defense only to drill his effort wide of the post.Hide Caption 2 of 7Close but not close enough for Real 7 photosBang on Benzema – Substitute Karim Benzema finally made the breakthrough in the 82nd minute when he slotted home Ozil's pass from close-range to make it 1-0 on the night and 2-4 on aggregate.Hide Caption 3 of 7Close but not close enough for Real 7 photosRamos ready – Sergio Ramos set up a nervous finale when he rifled home with two minutes of normal time remaining.

"The intention of the rule is to secure the league's integrity against short-term investment, I think everyone understands that."However, Wolter is frustrated at the resistance to RB Leipzig's owners."Red Bull is not a Russian oligarch, or an Arabian sheikh," he said. "We've shown elsewhere that we're about a strong, sustainable investment and commitment. "Why is our way the wrong way? What is the difference between our approach and a club with 50 different sponsors delivering the same thing?"Even so RB Leipzig's new investors have encountered resistance.The pitch at its former stadium was attacked with weed killer not long after the takeover, and fans of other clubs can be less than welcoming. "It's getting better," says Wolter. "We're proud of our family and spectators. We don't have 'ultras' and we don't need them. It's a friendly family atmosphere here, with men, women, children, pensioners, it's a different way."Germany's often raucous fans are, however, part of the fabric of the Bundesliga experience. The biggest obstacle to change in Germany may come from those very supporters, many of whom view the English Premier League with disdain, given that they see themselves at the center of a club's structure.The Bundesliga boasts some of the world's finest stadia, and its commitment to safe standing areas has helped enable clubs to keep prices low, as well as creating the boisterously vibrant atmosphere that characterizes top-flight games. But while the cheapest season tickets represent superb value, if fans turn up on match day looking for tickets then the story is rather different. "People are always talking about cheap tickets, but it can be misleading," says Dykes. "Of course standing tickets are cheap, as you would expect; but once these go, and they're usually in demand, the ticket prices at the top end are broadly comparable to those in England."Dortmund's training pays dividends 5 photosDortmund's training pays dividends 5 photosThe final frontier? – The "Footbonaut" -- is a robotic cage which footballers can use to improve passing, spatial awareness and control.

Read: Bayern coach celebrates 1,000 gamesThis year, partly in response to incidents of crowd trouble at games, there have even been whispers that the prized standing areas could be abolished."Standing is vital to low ticket prices, but also the atmosphere and the overall product of German football," said a skeptical Dykes."The league realizes that and I can't see the standing areas being given up. It would be difficult under German federal law to 'ban' them anyway, so I just can't see it happening."The worry for other Bundesliga clubs must be that the success of Dortmund and Bayern could put them out of sight in the financial and playing stakes; last year Chelsea received an estimated $77 million from winning the Champions League, while beaten finalist Bayern pocketed $53.65 million.Youth and prudenceHowever, the notion that a couple of teams might dominate their league is not confined to Germany."Spain's that way, the last three or four years the third or fourth place team, they still play Champions League and they're 30 points behind," said Hargreaves. "A lot of people in Germany love Bayern and love Dortmund, in the same way as people (in England) love Manchester United or Chelsea," he added, "but there are a lot of people who root for the underdog as well. So I think, in a way, it's a fair balance."Read: Why Guardiola will make Bayern betterAnd Dykes remains unconvinced that a tipping point has been reached."It's too early to be talking about a duopoly," he said. "Success comes and goes. If we're still talking about those two in a few years' time, or Bayern are still miles ahead, then it would be a worry. "People look at that possibility and of course it could be bad, but why would it happen? Bayern have always spent big; Dortmund is an exceptional team, but where will they be in three years? "Players lose form, get injured, things can change quite quickly. I'm not worried."For Wolter, the key to success lies in a combination of youth and prudence."You look at a team like Freiburg, they have a good academy, a good coach; it's still possible (to be successful). The new television contract has also given clubs more money ... and these academies are profit centers," he says. "But it's not all about money. It's also about education, good background work."Nevertheless, as Bayern and Dortmund take the field at Wembley, some may be wondering if, as well as a moment of national pride, this game might also mark a less welcome watershed in German football.Football FocusFrench football great bids adieuAfter 20 years, more than 300 goals and a host of major honors, Thierry Henry has called time on his glittering football career.Is 'miracle' club a blueprint for future?They do things differently at Sociedad Deportiva Eibar, up in the mist-cloaked valleys of the Basque country.

There is a staff who speaks English.....and even French! This hostel prepares very good western breakfast / sandwiches. Excellent value for money because of its good location near several bus stops, with buses running in every direction in Lijiang. It's very quiet in this hostel. Great sleep every night. Best of all, there is excellent free wifi and there are more than enough power points (for charging camera & phone batteries) in every room, in the common areas and even in the garden area.

I was pretty happy with this product, although the eyeshadow portion is a different color than what was pictured on the box.
The eyeliner portion of this product is great, with excellent color payoff. The color of the eyeliner is also very true to the color pictured on the package.
As far as the eyeshadow portion was concerned, I was hoping it would be a light lavender and I also thought it might have a slight shimmer. The actual color is a combination of taupe and light purple with no shimmer. It isn't a bad color (although not the best for my coloring) and the color payoff is excellent.
Overall I'm very happy with this product and you really can't do better than an eyeshadow and liner for $3! I will definitely try the other colors soon (especially the dark green).
P.S. I gave this 3 stars overall, but that was mostly because the packaging was misleading about the eyeshadow. The liner definitely deserves 4 stars!
Just picked this up at Target for 3 bucks. The purple liner is really pigmented and smudges easily if you want a softer line. The shadow side is really pretty, its like a light purple. Make sure you use a primer before using this because the cream will definitely crease. I want to buy one in every color!

Skulls of the Shogun is the new turn-based strategy game just released on the Xbox LIVE Arcade as well as all Windows 7 and 8 platforms by developer 17-Bit. Generally speaking I have a pretty love-hate relationship with these types of games. As a lover of strategy and the contemplation and implementation of said strategy, these Final Fantasy Tactics'-style time-wasters should be right up my alley. I could never get into the majority of them, however. I think it has something to do with the grueling learning curve and massive penalty for failure, like having to start a 2-hour long battle over again from the beginning. Stuff like that always gave me the impression that the game was taking itself a little too seriously, you know, like the challenge of the game was subverting the fun? Maybe that was just me.

The next time you see Kim Kardashian she may be speaking Korean to fiancé Kanye West! She and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan were spotted hopping on a plane to South Korea on March 26 — so why is the family "taking" the Asian country?
The newly minted Vogue cover girl Kim Kardashian was seen catching a flight from LAX to South Korea on March 26 with her sister Khloe, mom Kris Jenner, her adorable daughter North (who by the way, was sporting an outfit from the Kardashian Kids fashion line!), and most of the rest of the family. The sight of so many Kardashians sprinting towards the gate Home Alone-style made us wonder: Will the next season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians be set in East Asia?
The Kardashian Family Takes South Korea
It wouldn't surprise us one bit if the Kardashians were filming a new season of their hit franchise in Korea. After all, there's already been a Miami-set version of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and E! just announced a Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons spin-off set to premiere next fall on March 26.
However, Bruce Jenner's son, Brody, revealed that he was heading to meet the fam in Thailand, according to Mail Online, so it seems that South Korea may have just been a layover until the Kardashian-Jenners could scoot off to their vacation destination.
But regardless of why Kim, Khloe and Kris were at the airport this afternoon, we do know this: Kim looked amazing at the airport! As we all know, the reality star is always dressed to the nines and that also applies when she's traveling, apparently. Check her wearing nude high heels and a plunging nude dress. What a knockout!
Kardashians To Take The Hamptons — NOT South Korea
But anyways, color us a tad upset that we won't be getting a more international tinge for the next season of KUWTK. We guess for now, we'll have to settle for Khloe and Kourtney's antics in the Hamptons.
Which isn't bad at all, because E!'s press release for the upcoming Kourtney & Khloe Take the Hamptons does sound pretty enthralling:
From the producers of E!'s mega-hit series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kourtney, a newly single Khloé, and Lord Disick himself are back in the Big Apple, and are taking the city by storm. The girls have their work cut out for them as they set out to relocate the Dash New York store to a hot new property while managing the initial struggles of opening their first pop-up store in the Hamptons.
So it's no South Korea, but we'll take it!
HollywoodLifers, are you loving Kim's look at the airport? Would you watch a season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians set in Korea? Dish in the comments!

I reallii hope the kardashians see this post….l love the whole of their family and I think Kim's life is a fairytale and she should be grateful to God like seriously………all of the shows are interesting but since Kanye came into her life and she's not realli showing the cameras her life,the show has been boring,we didn't realli see her give birth,the engagement scene was not descriptive enough and we didn't really see the insight,her pregnancy was not really shown like kourtneys and her baby won't even be on the show…..Kim's life now surrounds around the baby and Kanye and if they are not showing it, the show isn't really a reality show any more because there's nothing real about it……kourtney and Scott show us their kids and they are not dead or anything….I think the little comments mason makes on the show is a little comedy for the show…..I don't hate Kanye…..I lyk yezzy….I'm not hating on him or anyone I'm only dishing out a little advice on what concerned fans who love the show like me would love to see,……..and haters….don't comment down here insulting me cus I don't have ur time to hate…life is too short to hate,if u don't lyk a celebrity,then don't look them up online or keep up with their lives!!!….

text: 9/22/2010 I grew up on the East Coast, never having traveled further west than the Mississippi River. I grew up with fall colors, rain, snow, and my mom taking me to hockey practice. As the youngest of five children who attended a suburban New Jersey high school just outside of New York City, I didn't have many opportunities to hunt. I fished quite a bit, and once in a while I was able to shoot a bow with my neighbor. I was always curious about hunting, but it just wasn't an option where I lived. At times I felt lost. Many years later, and soon after meeting my future wife's father, I realized that everything was about to change. My wife grew up in central Pennsylvania and was raised around guns and hunting, but had little interest in the subject. In me, her dad seemed to find the curious little boy he always wanted. As I got more into guns and hunting, I'm not sure my mom was happy with the changes in me, as she didn't understand either. But she slowly accepted it, knowing I had long searched for an identity outside of my brothers. Hunting was fun, and the camaraderie was different than in the other sports I played. Fifteen years later, I still get the same butterflies as when I first stepped onto a skeet range. Over the years I have participated in Virginia whitetail and East Coast upland bird hunting. But I was recently invited on a Utah coyote hunt. Me—a Web developer from Jersey! I knew this experience was going to be different than any other hunting I had enjoyed. Hell, I had never even been on a long airplane ride. First, let me tell you about the company I keep at work. I would be representing a department of editors at NRA Publications who have hunted the world. Even though I never hunted coyote, I figured with the experience around me, I could get some pretty sound advice on what to expect. So I asked around, tested different guns and decided on an AR-style rifle. Several American Rifleman and American Hunter editors gave me some pointers, and Editorial Director John Zent took me to the range. The AR I ultimately chose was a DPMS Panther chambered in .243, topped with a Weaver Super Slam scope. I tested Federal Premium's ammo at distances of 50 to 200 yards and was pretty comfortable with the results, and felt ready to use the firearm. Most of the gear I would need was to be provided when I got out there, so I didn't have to pack too much. With just my video gear and rifle in tow, I was ready to go. I arrived early in Salt Lake City via Minneapolis and met up with my party. The gang consisted of three professional writers, two industry reps, two guides and me. I am not usually one to be intimidated, however, not only were the members of this group extremely good at their professions, they were all extremely seasoned hunters. The view of Utah as we left the airport was absolutely breathtaking. I have never seen so much open space. I think the air was even cleaner. Once we arrived at the guide's home, we packed up the trucks and headed out again—this time for a location about three hours southwest of Salt Lake City where we set up camp. As I've mentioned, I'm from Jersey, but I have camped my whole life. But not like this. At night it was zero degrees with some serious wind, and by 9 a.m., it felt like it was about 90 degrees. Camp was primitive, but comfortable. We had cots, pads, and sleeping bags provided by Cabelas. Despite the cold, we decided to sleep under the stars, without tents. I don't know if it was the air in Utah, the billions of stars that I could see, or if I just was so tired from all the travel, but in my 37 years, I do not ever remember sleeping that soundly. Day one began at about 4 a.m. We packed up camp, split into two groups and went on our way. No matter the time of day, Utah is amazing. I loved it and cannot wait to go back. Everywhere you look there are pronghorn antelope running in herds, huge cattle stations and snow-covered mountains. Once we arrived at our destination, our guide Kendall Johnson of CODA Depredation Services, placed the hunters in a triangle formation. A shotgun hunter was positioned at the top point, facing out, with the caller about 30 yards behind him. A rifle hunter was positioned to the right (facing right) and I was placed on the left facing left. There was little cover, so the King's camo we used for the hunt worked great. After we were all in position, the caller began calling coyotes. If you have ever seen the Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds, you'll be able to imagine what it sounded like—an insanely loud whine. My heart pounded like crazy. From the coyote-hunting videos I had watched and the stories I had heard, I knew the coyotes would soon be bearing down. Well, not quite. We called. We packed up. We moved. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. You get the picture. Even though the scenery kept changing, the result was the same: no coyotes. After many hours it became a bit frustrating, so we called it a day and headed back to camp. There we chose new groups and discussed the next day's strategy. And I enjoyed another night under the amazing Utah skies. Day two quickly settled into the same routine as day one. This was my first guided hunt, so I had to get used to it. The others seemed much more patient, and I learned a lot about relaxing and going with the flow. Our guides were absolutely incredible. Kendall and Cory are Utah natives and were born hunting these parts. They knew pretty much every part of this section of the West and they would find us coyotes. By the end of day two, I believe Kendall would have dressed as a coyote in order for me to get one. But this is hunting. And one thing I have learned is that the animals are not out there to cooperate with you or a caller, regardless of your experience level. Kendall had tried everything (and I mean everything) to call in coyotes. He finally succeeded in calling in one—which we missed. No matter the frustrations, a hot dog by the grill and some laughs over the day's events made it all worth it. Day Three. New group. New attitude. New plan. We were hitting the low country and you could smell it in the air. The coyotes were out there on the cattle farms and flats. And just a few minutes into it, they complied. With my heart pounding, one snuck in…and, yes, I missed it. I shot over his back. Coyotes come in fast and low toward the call. In theory, I already knew that, but I lost that knowledge when I saw the animal. But I had shot my gun, and it was still early in the day. Throughout the day we had some other opportunities. And, yes, I missed the shot again. However, all of my frustration and nerves were gone. It took a while, but I got bit by the predator-hunting bug. If you have the opportunity to try it, take it. And if you need more insight into it, I can't think of two better guys than Kendall and Cory to point you in the right direction. That final night, I lay down on the cot and thought about the trip and the opportunity I had been given to see the country. I got to hunt with industry guys who treated me great, including two guys from Federal that handled every need and answered all my questions. I am lucky to have gone on this trip. Shortly before this trip, my mom passed away. I felt then, more than ever, that she would have been proud of me. As I gazed up at the stars, this Jersey boy whispered to her, "now I'm found."

Monday, July 8, 2013
BARRINGTON — Nathan Rand came through in the clutch. Again.
Maurice gave up only two hits and did not allow a runner to get past first base. He struck out six and walked one. DuBois scattered five hits with four strikeouts and two walks. He also hit two batters. "(DuBois) had his stuff going," Maurice said. "I was just trying to throw strikes. There were a lot of first-pitch outs and that helped." Because Barrington is hosting the state tournament next weekend both teams advanced. Portsmouth went 3-0 in the district tournament, including a 2-0 victory over Barrington on Saturday. Barrington, which gave up only three runs in three games, finished 1-2. "We've been in this spot three times," said Barrington coach Bryan DuBois. "It's getting pretty old." Although neither team did much offensively Portsmouth had the better of the scoring opportunities. Portsmouth stranded eight runners and left the bases loaded in the sixth when right fielder Justin Stacy made a nice running catch of a long fly ball.
Portsmouth had at least one baserunner in every inning but one while Barrington managed only three baserunners total. Portsmouth squandered a lead-off double by Pufhahl in the third. Maurice doubled with one out in the sixth. DuBois hit David Ecker and Jarrod Padgett with pitches to load the bases with two down before Stacy intervened to keep the game scoreless. DuBois had a one-out single to center after Maurice retired the first 11 batters he faced. "That's probably one of the best pitching performances I've seen," said coach LaLime. "He was strong throughout the whole seven innings and had command of his pitches. Really impressive." Barrington's Alex Bussiere walked with one out in the fifth, but was thrown out by Portsmouth catcher Stephen LaLime Jr. trying to steal second base. Andrew St. Ours followed with a single to center for Barrington's only other hit. Maurice retired the last seven batters he faced.
Portsmouth, 1-0 Barrington (1-2) 000 000 0 — 0 2 2 Portsmouth (3-0) 000 000 1 — 1 5 0 Batteries: B-DuBois and Cunningham; P-Maurice and LaLime. WP-Maurice. LP-DuBois. HR: none. LOB: B-2; P-8. |

If they saw a blackbird, they would marry a clergyman, a robin redbreast indicated a sailor, and a goldfinch indicated a rich man. A sparrow meant they would marry a farmer, a blue bird indicated a happy man, and a crossbill meant an argumentative man. If they saw a dove, they would marry a good man, but seeing a woodpecker meant they would not marry at all.

Your Pop Alternative Source
People have questioned if you're for real. They wonder if you're a conceptual art project.
N: In South Africa people know what we are straightaway. It's just punk Afrikaans sh*t. But in America it's a little alien, so they're like [in an American accent], "I don't get it. It must be a joke. What are they doing? What is this?"
YV: But also I was watching MTV, and I was like, Oh, this is why everyone thinks we're a joke. Because everything is the same recipe, rehashed. I used to be into Björk and PJ Harvey, and they used to blow my mind. But there hasn't been a pop star blowing anybody's mind. Our music's got flavor; it's got skill. And we present it really well. And people were like, "What the f*ck is this?"

148Apps Review Summary
Our Rating: :: COLOR-CODED PHYSICS :: Read Our Full Review >>Particle Panic has a fun core premise that puzzle fiends may enjoy, but the overall difficulty level will dampen its appeal to non-hardcore players.
What's New
-Fixed crash upon load on devices running iOS versions less than 4.0-Made minor update to gameplay mechanics involving slight decrease of particle creation rate
-Large particle velocities no longer result from small touch motions
-Background music volume is no longer diminished upon pause and exit to main menu screen
-Fixed particle velocities on game load
-Made minor update to background graphics
-Made minor tutorial text changes
-New effects on level advance
-Increased performance on some devices
-Added new music track
-Reduced binary size to enable download over cellular connections
App Description
Particle Panic is a fast-paced, puzzle-arcade game where you take the role of a mad scientist running an even madder experiment to harness energy from a new, potentially-limitless power source. The interaction of your exawatt-class laser with the spacetime continuum causes quarks to spontaneously appear out of the seething quantum vacuum. Combine groups of particles and balance their color, electric charges and spins to get them to annihilate and release energy. Collect enough energy to advance to the next level. Create new particles with the properties you need by adding existing particles. The experiment doesn't come without some kind of danger, of course. Confine your quark-gluon plasma within the walls of your reactor chamber by keeping its temperature down. Detonate nukes, create time warps and spawn black holes to keep the particle flux under control. If things get too hot, it will breach the containment vessel. The results would be catastrophic!Particle Panic features:
* Multitouch arcade gameplay
* Fast-paced, seamless level advancement
* Test your reflexes in Meltdown mode
* Special powerups like nukes and color shifts
* Powerful abilities like time warps and black holes
* A chill, ambient soundtrack to relax with as you play
* Ability to play music from your own library
* Save game feature so you can take a call and come back to play
* OpenFeint and Game Center integration to gain achievements and keep track of high scores
* Obeys the laws of quantum chromodynamics

Tillis has already expressed his opposition to this. Apparently for much the same reasons that were used here - that it's not a function of government to get involved in this except for possible incentives and or tax breaks. McCrory needs to know he leads ALL the citizens not just the Panthers or football fans. He would be well advised to advise Richardson that it's a no go with state monies. Gee between this and the pay raises and 1000 appointees he's looking like a real fiscal conservative eh?. Only joking Tom

Backwoods Just Tastes Good! |
Backwoods Sweet Natural Cigarillo Tubes |
By Charlie |
I know what I am getting with a Backwoods: short burn time and excellent taste and aroma. Folks around me often comment on how good it smells, in a foodie way. The tubes keep them fresher, I am an occasional smoker. This smoke has to be the model T of cigars. Great for after a good meal and with an adult beverage. |

Mkay soooo.
I haven't written anything for this site yet, and if there are any random people reading my shit they might want shit to read.
I'm in Vermont for three weeks, right?
Leaving Saturday.
And uhm for those of you who don't know, mainly all of you, I have this issue called crushitis right?
Just...raging teenage hormones.
I thought once I got a girlfriend that shit wouldn't go down anymore...wroooong.
I know it's just that I miss her
and I always feel the need to have a girl in my life
Shit happens...there's this "straight' girl here (I sincerely doubt it) and she has a boyfriend and (jesus she just walked by, haha, fucking ironic) I have a girlfriend but like you know what happens in Vermont stays in Vermont right?
I'd never ever cheat on Analisa.
But there is something about this girl and I feel like if I don't do anything then I'm going to absolutely regret it.
I can't breathe when I'm around her and she's all I've been able to think about for a while now.
I've written her two fucking songs already.
And a letter.
I've got it, I've got it bad.
Not to mention I think I have a soulmate?!
I'm a mess, you guys. hahhaa.
We can converse about this if you wish.
Comment this shit.
Welcome to Oasis!
This place is great for just rambling about nothingness (I would know I do it all the time. Ha ha.) But I'm sure others here will welcome you with flowers and stuff as customary. Lol anyway enjoy the site.

Two wrongs don't make a right but three lefts do!
Welcome to Oasis! :D
Oh, god, raging, teenage hormones. I know all about that. I just got back from my cousin's house in Louisiana, where I met his friend who's a girl and yeahhh... XD Needless to say, I can't wait to go back.

When you are injured, apply these steps right away and seek medical help:
To help manage pain, your doctor may advise:
Surgery is the most common treatment for this condition. An incision is made in the lower leg and the tendon is sewn back together. A cast, splint, walking boot, or brace is worn for 6-8 weeks. One of the benefits of surgery is that it lowers the risk of re-rupturing the tendon. Surgery may also be a better option if you are athletic.
The other option is to allow your tendon to heal without surgery. In this case, you also need to wear a cast, splint, walking boot, or brace for 6-8 weeks. You also may have different exercises to do. If you are less active or have a chronic illness that prevents surgery, this option may be better for you.
During rehabilitation, you will:
Most people can return to normal activity in 4-6 months.
To help reduce your chance of getting Achilles tendon rupture, take the following steps:

The FE 501 ranks undisputedly among the most powerful enduro machines in its class - developed by professionals for professionals. The combination of lightweight chassis and high-tech, SOHC four-stroke technology is the right choice for all those in the E3 class seeking maximum 4-stroke performance combined with playful handling. These powerhouses are regarded without doubt as the benchmarks in their classes.
Find a dealer now
Cooling system
The tried and tested, integrated cooling system leads from the cylinder head through the frame triangle directly to the aluminium radiators made by WP RADIATOR. All 4-stroke models are equipped as standard with a fan system that has been improved with an optimised thermoswitch.
Developed for tough enduro use, the 510.4cc SOHC engine is characterised by an extremely compact design, easy maintenance and outstanding robustness, with weight kept to a minimum. Together with the EFI system from Keihin, they provide unrivalled performance and rideability - specially designed for enduro use.
Cylinder head
The SOHC cylinder head is equipped with an overhead camshaft that actuates the titanium intake valves and steel exhaust valves. The whole configuration has been perfectly tuned to the Keihin EFI system for outstanding rideability and performance. A weight-optimised valve train results in lower friction, thereby improving performance and reducing engine braking. An optimised cylinder head gasket guarantees even greater durability in extreme conditions. A weight-optimised camshaft with strengthened auto-decompressor ensures better responsiveness as well as greater durability.
The lightweight, forged piston with a diameter of 95 mm and box-type design is now equipped with a new, high-performance piston ring package.
Crank drive
With 72 mm stroke for the 450, the crankshaft and its ultra-light connecting rod are manufactured by Pankl from a special, high quality steel. As on all other FE models, the revolutionary plain bearing in the lower conrod eye is now also employed here, guaranteeing considerably greater durability and hence much less servicing.
Engine management system (EMS)
The engine management system from Keihin with electronic fuel injection and 42 mm throttle body ensures spontaneous, powerful responsiveness and handling, along with maximum performance. Automatic temperature and altitude compensation are state of the art. An oil-cooled, 196 W alternator provides sufficient power for the fuel injection system, lights, etc. An optional map-select switch and the user-setting tool are available from the PowerParts range.
The tried-and-tested 6-speed transmission excels with precise and easy shifting.
DDS clutch
The one-piece outer clutch hub with primary gear is machined from a single piece of high-strength steel. This guarantees unbeatable reliability and contributes to narrow engine width with its compact, rivetless design. It also allows the use of thin steel discs, making the overall clutch package very compact. An optimised inner clutch hub improves the durability as well. A diaphragm spring enables implementation of an additional hub damping mechanism - a benefit in terms of traction and gearbox durability. In conjunction with the diaphragm spring, the hydraulic clutch actuation system from Brembo ensures very smooth and very precise clutch control.
The FE 500 is equipped as standard with both kick and electric starters. Positioned behind the cylinder, the electric starter is well protected. It is prepared for the fitting of a kickstarter.
The revolutionary 4CS closed-cartridge forks have been radically revamped for MY 2014 and, together with new fork springs and settings, now provide greater reserves against bottoming out as well as improved responsiveness. In addition, the ease of maintenance has also been improved. In combination with the PDS shock absorbers, which likewise impress with updated settings, they supply optimum damping behaviour specially designed for enduro use, with maximum traction and plenty of comfort. As ever, rebound and compression damping can be adapted (on the fork from the cockpit; on the shock absorber for high and low speed as well) individually to track and rider in no time at all.
The wheels are fitted with lightweight, CNC-machined hubs and high-end DID rims, plus spokes with lightweight, aluminium nipples, guaranteeing the highest levels of stability while keeping weight to a minimum. The Michelin Enduro tyres stand for excellent traction and outstanding performance.
Brakes from Brembo are standard equipment on HUSABERG bikes and, together with lightweight wave brake discs, they are recognised as the measure of all things in terms of brake technology. A new handbrake armature has been developed for the 2014 model year, with new remote reservoir, smaller brake piston diameter (9 instead of 10 mm) and optimised lever kinematics. As a result and together with optimised brake pads, brake performance and application have been perceptibly improved again.
Triple clamps
The lower triple clamp has been optimised in order to distribute force transmission from the triple clamp to the fork outer tube more evenly. As a result, the damping behaviour of the fork is less impaired by unwanted influences.
The modern frame design of lightweight, high strength, chrome-molybdenum steel section tubes guarantees an ideal mix of longitudinal and torsional stiffness, resulting not only in easy handling and precise steering behaviour, but also in excellent ride stability. The frame excels in MY 2014 with thinner-walled down tubes to reduce the weight. The engine braces to the cylinder head have also been optimised, along with their attachment to the frame. All frames clearly constitute the benchmark in terms of weight and stability in MY 2014.
The cast aluminium swingarm has been developed with state-of-the-art calculation and simulation software and constructed, in terms of design and wall thickness, for minimum weight with optimum stiffness and sufficient flex. For MY 2014 model year, the chainguide has been revised for the benefit of greater reliability, while simultaneously reducing the weight.
Air box
Airbox and air filter bracket have been reinforced with fiberglass so that the air filter is kept even more securely in its intended position. The filter is replaced as quickly as ever, without any tools of course.
Fuel tank
The lightweight, polyethylene tanks are equipped on the four-strokes with fuel pump and pressure regulator. The pressure mechanism for unlocking the bayonet filler cap has been optimised to make the cap even easier and quicker to open during hectic refuelling stops.
All HUSABERG models are equipped with extremely stable, tapered Neken handlebars made from a high-strength aluminium alloy. The four handlebar position settings are the tried and tested HUSABERG standard. Redesigned handguards made from ultra-sturdy, 2-component plastic have been fitted as standard for MY 2014 to both brake and clutch levers.
The new speedo developed in collaboration with TRAIL TECH impresses above all with its outstanding ergonomics. It is simpler to operate and easier to read. Moreover, the time is now shown additionally in every display mode.
A new, refined, 25th anniversary graphic design with clear, straight lines underlines the high demands made of a modern, state-of-the-art offroad motorcycle.
