We were deeply saddened by the death of Pauline Campbell, and know that countless people had great respect and admiration for her stance on reform with the government and prison authorities. She will be sorely missed.
In Memory of Pauline Campbell… "rest in peace"
A song dedicated to the memory of Pauline and Sarah from the volunteer team at 4WardEver Campaign UK
(selected by Alison Leslie)
Pauline had been a tireless campaigner against the deaths of women in custody since the tragic death of her own daughter, Sarah, in 2003.
She was awarded the Emma Humphreys Memorial Prize in October 2005. The prize is awarded each year to a woman or group who has, through their actions, writing or campaigning; raised awareness of violence against women and children.
The 4WardEver Campaign UK in collaboration with Migrant Media (Makers of the film INJUSTICE) have set up a memorial site in remembrance of Pauline Campbell.
Messages of condolence may also be left on the site!
New content covering Pauline's life and campaigning will be added to the memorial site as regularly as possible.
Sultry vocalist and pianist Norah Jones developed her unique blend of jazz and traditional vocal pop with hints of bluesy country and contemporary folk due in large part to her unique upbringing.

Publisher's Description
Daniel lived as an exile in a hostile country, yet when he committed himself in faith to serve his limitless God, he achieved the impossible. How did Daniel maintain his bold witness for God in spite of bullying and intimidation? How did he prepare himself for the tests and temptations of life?
Like Daniel, believers today live in a culture that is hostile to biblical values. It takes great courage and faith to live as followers of Christ in a post-Christian world characterized by moral depravity, injustice, idolatry, and more. In Leading the Way Through Daniel, Michael Youssef passionately shows readers that the resources Daniel relied on are equally available to them.
Sound teaching, vibrant illustrations, and a brisk conversational style will enable readers to take the truths of the book of Daniel and apply them to the pressures, trials, and temptations they face in today's culture.

IreneUnited States5 Stars Out Of 5Another Great StoryDecember 30, 2012IreneUnited StatesQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5These studies by Michael Youssef are well worth your time in reading. The pages are filled with helpful information about the book of the Bible he is writing the study on. This study is on the book of Daniel.
This book of the Bible can get rather complicated in the last few chapters. The author does a very good job at making those chapters easy to understand. He also offers some practical advice from the book that make it a must read for any Christian, especially those interested in prophecy.
I gave this book 5/5 stars. I loved how the author made this book of the Bible practical for any Christian to learn from. He applies lessons from Daniels life to our life today in a very informative way. I thought the writing was very easy to read and understand. I also thought the book would do great for a Sunday School class or Bible study that wants to learn some practical advice from the book of Daniel.
I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

I would play this real loud.
i some times day dream of sitting on top of my roof with my AR and my .308 with a truckload of ammo boxes sitting around me over looking a field of bodies!
Just me and eight friends. Me with the radio, and the crews of two AH-64 Apache gunships- loaded with 2.75 inch flechette rounds. When expended, THEN they get to strafe.
When they go off station, then the two fast mover crews get to roll in and drop CBUs and nape. Got to clean up the streets, you know.......
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
me and a group of 12 people 4 remington 870, 5 mossberg 500, 2 ar15, and one marlin 30-30 (those are just main weapons) plus mixture of pistols, axes, swords, and other cutting implaments.
a half track with quad 50's on the back and a duec in a half with a M2 50bmg on the back loaded with ammo and the people not in the half track vs a small city full of the undead.

Define the size of the "horde".
Under fifty zombies, i want them all for myself. I'd go with the cz75b for up close and the ole Marlin model 60 for the brain plinking (LOL "can i plink your brain for a sec"). Of course, i've always wanted to see what my SKS would do to a bunch of semi-squishies when loaded with soft point ammo. It would be great practice for squirrel hunting, with all the head shots.
More than one hundred semi-squishies bent on my destruction? I would need some help to carry mah ammo.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
ruger 10/22 made to be real quiet. my mossberg 590 for medium range, my xd 9mm service for close work, and finally my camping machete and hunting knife for close up. with my current stock of ammo and mags I figure from my house I could take down about a hundred (or more if i'm real quiet) from my roof with the ruger. bout ten with the shotty (8 round capacity). and about twenty with the pistol (2 16 rnd mags). then about ten or so with the machete if i'm not surrounded at that point. although I could always drop down onto my tahoe roof. slip through the sunroof and go into plow em down mode and head to my buddies beach house twelve miles away that sits on stilts with one main stairs and a deck on the roof. That's my plan so far and between him and my ither buddy meeting up there we will have a lot of food and firepower.

Please note a few things I have run into:
*** Angry Birds is all under the same "Activity Name" (Blame Rovio) I have added a Angry Birds Season and Rio to the icon pack. When you put the icon on the desktop , long click the icon, click edit, touch the icon, click ADW theme Icon Pack , and click Minimal Text and you're in the game!***
*** Any Game in the Market made by UNITY3D, are horrible! I can't code their icons due to them all having the same "Coded Name" Here are the ones i for sure cant code: CORDY , Jenga, AGWB, Stellar Escape , AIRAttackHD, Shadow GUN. All use the same code BUT are in the Icon pack :) ^_^ Enjoy!***
JUST CLEAN ICONS! Thanks to SHIFT!!!
** Link to his XDA post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188052**
All icons are made with "Simple Text Icon Creator" from the Google Play Store: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redphx.simpletext
Thanks Redphx!
Please let me know if you have any concerns, issues, questions, and requests!!!

Blue Head Buddy
If you use a Bluetooth headset in your car you propably know the annoyance of turning on bluetooth when you start driving and shut it off when you are at your destination.
An alternative would be to let Bluetooth on all the time but this wastes battery life.
Here comes Blue Head Buddy into play.
Whenever you receive a phone call, Blue Head Buddy activates Bluetooth and turns it off when the phone call is over. You can configure Blue Head Buddy to let Bluetooth turned on when your configured headset has been connected while Blue Head Buddy turned on Bluetooth. After the headset disconnects, Bluetooth is turned off again. This can be helpful if you want to call someone back because your phone lost connection.
Blue Head Buddy can also be used as a Bluetooth control widget.

Professors weigh in on ratemyprofesssor.com
Sidney Guedry, assistant professor of biology and horticulture who scored a 4.9 overall quality on ratemyprofessor.com, overlooks his students taking an exam. Allison Crady
The popular anonymous review site, ratemyprofessor.com, displays over 8,000 schools, 15 million student-generated comments and ratings and 1.8 million professors from colleges and universities across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Despite foreshadowing what students could expect, many professors disagree with the site's validity. The common complaint is the narrowness of scope in ratings and comments.
"I teach roughly 200 to 500 students a semester depending on which classes I teach and have around 35 RMP responses in the three years I have taught, so 35 out of a couple of thousand students is a small percentage," said Daniel Chadborn, instructor of psychology with a 4.8 Overall Quality on RMP. "I would caution students in relying solely on its judgment, unless those numbers go up."
Since its founding in 1999 by John Swapceinski, a software engineer from California, the site has grown to become the largest online destination for professor ratings. More currently RMP has expanded to include an iPhone app, Facebook and Twitter.
While the variety of opinions may be limited or inaccurate, many students use RMP religiously.
"I love RMP. I used it to schedule every single class/teacher," said Kimberly Luce, a junior special education major. "There are a bunch of new teachers that need to be added, but the site has helped me sign my second semester at Southeastern."
Students commonly believe the site can help them to avoid "bad" or "difficult" professors and provide overall ease to their college experience.
"I think it'd be kind of a stretch to say that I'd never have made it this far without the site, but in reality it has made my college career easier; that much I know," said Cory Soileau, a senior kinesiology major. "I find it very useful; it tells me about my professors, what they do and don't do, what they're like and if they are good professors or not. I would highly recommend the site to any and everybody to use."
Keith Finley, instructor of history with a 4.6 Overall Quality on RMP, does not check the review site, but measures his success based on student life progress.
"My ratings on the website are unimportant," said Finley. "I measure my performance based on the number of my students who go on to do important things such as enter graduate programs, secure meaningful employment, make real contributions to the community, etc."
Despite the questionable validity of the review site, a natural curiosity comes into play for some instructors.
"Students judge me before ever meeting me based on those ratings, so it would be hard not to care. Early on, I would check often, but I didn't find it to be a healthy habit, so now I avoid the site," said Leigh Rourks, an instructor of English with a 4.0 Overall Quality on RMP. "The thing about SOTs is that everyone fills one out, so they give me a nice wide view. I don't think that is true about RMP."
For the professors who advise students to avoid using RMP, they suggest paying more attention to word-of-mouth reviews, meeting the instructor personally or the possibility of seeing the previous Student Opinion of Teachers.
"Maybe students should be allowed access to university, department and faculty averages concerning SOTs, if they are not already," said Chadborn. "This would offer far more valid feedback than RMP."
A number of students typically post only the most extreme professor experiences, which may be viewed as both a positive and negative aspect of the review site.
"I have only posted once, and that was to warn people of what they were getting into with this professor," said Matthew Krumm, a junior criminal justice major. "The tool is great to find overall good opinions. However, it is best to look back at previous reviews of a certain professor because not everyone's opinion is helpful."
Several professors feel students should approach instructors with an open mind to form their own opinions.
"I know this is an important student referral tool, but I encourage students to not base their judgments on one piece of information alone," said Krystal Hardison, a general studies instructor with a 4.7 Overall Quality on RMP. "I encourage students to be open-minded when choosing teachers and allow their own opinion to be formed and not influenced by others."
Whether visiting the site to select future professors or to review previous professors, both students and instructors agree it's important to read critically and take others' opinions with a grain of salt.
"I wouldn't depend on RMP totally," said Sidney Guedry, assistant professor of biology and horticulture with a 4.9 Overall Quality on RMP. "I think the best advice is from your fellow classmates who you can trust and who have experienced that instructor to tell you the good, bad and ugly."

Aww, peas! I can't even view it correctly on the Wii, like I could on the Computer. The past 14 and 4 Gregs worked on the Wii, but where's the Internet Channel Upgrade, Nintendo?
TENERROW'D!! Guess Tomkins got his wish. I Gut you like sheep! There's also the Arrow'd Guy shooting Sparrows! If you were to Pokémonize it, you'd get "SPEAROW'D!!" Why weren't you there to save me, Pikachu?
Heh. No. Sparrow'd. I gut you like sheep. That's my new favorite quote. I gut you like sheep. Totally the best TGS yet. I gut you like sheep.
Meh. I like TGS #14 better. The Gregs were good as a one time group for a joke thing, but they shoulddefinetly stop making apperences (except for sci-fi and maybe D&D Greg)
I'm beginning to wonder where the in-toon easter eggs have left us for good. We've our fair share of after-toon nuggets, but it seems as if the brothers Chap have completely abandoned the idea of a nifty easter egg to be discovered during the 'toon. I still always go back and watch any new 'toon a second time over, frantically waving my mouse all over the place in hope of an extra 5 seconds of 'toon. Alas, this seems to be an abandoned practice.
Now that I've got that bit of talk out of your way, I'll say that that was quite a humorous 'toon indeed. "I gut you like sheep!"
Honestly, this one just isn't as good as the ones before the last Hremail. They had an explosion of really great content after SBCG4AP came out(and to a lesser extent during that period), but that seems to have dropped back into the kind of stuff they were doing that had me more or less disinterested in the site before Telltale picked up the property.
I don't think they lack the ability to create good humor anymore, but with these established characters and situations they're starting to go a bit stale again, relying too much on in-jokes and the like. It was great when they turned the old stuff on its head for a few toons, but it's not really worth much if all we get out of it in the long run is the same old stuff minus a Sbemails section.
I'm not a big fan of the Teen Girl Squad thing, but this one was pretty funny. Also, did anyone else notice that it said 2008 instead of 2009? Anyone? No?

Popped in for lunch whilst walking around and really enjoyed the respite from the cold outside. When we first went in it was really quiet but almost from nowhere the place filled up. We only had the potato soup served in bread but it was really delicious and good quality rather than fatty or oily, although we had serious food...
We stayed at the Archibald for 3 days and really enjoyed it, the breakfasts which provided with the room charge were adequate (fair to good). We were tired on our second night from all of the walking and decided to try dinner, we were very pleasantly surprised so much so that we came back for night three for dinner. Among...
Had been in Prague five years ago and we had been here at least twice because it was cosy and the food was good.
For dinner We came back here, but...a delusion. Place full of americans asking for burgers.
The traditional czech cuisine wasn't very good, either. It tasted like old and reheated.
A delusion coming back here
Found restaurant with good atmosphere when heading to the old town centre, good food, we have tried the goulash and steak, neat and clean.
While staying at the hotel we had dinner at the restaurant.
Service was amazing!!!!
Food was sensational and the price was even better.
We couldn't fault anything about this place.
Completely ignore the bad reviews previous people have made.
You will not be disappointed if you eat here.
*Chicken leg with broccoli and pasta is to die for!
Ate here twice during this visit and found the food to be of very decent quality. The portion sizes were very ample and we had with both meals, the mashed potatoes, which were lovely.
We thought the price for two mains and drinks was very good indeed, and the service was prompt and friendly.
We stayed at the Archibald at Charles Bridge Hotel and this was our restaurant for breakfast each morning and wine each afternoon in the lounge.
Beautiful setting,very attentive service. but no Czechs in site. Probably because the food is a 'sanitized' version of the real thing. The up side is that it is less fatty and probably healthier (but rather less authentic).
All the plates we tasted were very good especially the mushroom risotto, I loved it. Both the inside room as well as the tables on the riverbank are nice. The waiter was very efficient and always with a smile. As mentioned in other reviews the waiters always reminded us that the tip was not included in the account, but that...

Mount Juliet, TN (PRWEB) October 15, 2012
TAI is the premier advocacy group in the U.S. that focuses on the deceptive sales practices within the timeshare sales industry. In January of 2009 TAI started serving timeshare owners get the resolutions they were seeking against their resorts that used deceptive selling skills to induce their customers into purchasing timeshares under false promises.
"In the almost four years we have been in operation we are proud of the fact that we have assisted in over 2000 timeshare contracts being canceled. Now TAI have united our efforts with the second most effect company out there. Helping Timeshare Owners is located in the heart of the timeshare industry, Orlando, Florida. They have assisted over 1000 cancellations themselves, and have an "A" minus rating with the BBB. That puts us at over 3000 cancellations, two companies with "A" minus ratings and TAI is BBB accredited as well", says Sean Austin, President of TAI.
Now there are two companies operating as one whose sole mission is to stop the deceptions, lies, and misrepresentations that occur thousands of times a day at timeshare sales presentations throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - The Nevada Supreme court has ruled that the juvenile criminal records of a man accused of killing a Las Vegas mother and her daughter can't be used at trial.
The decision issued Wednesday involves Bryan Devonte Clay Jr., who faces two counts of first-degree murder in the fatal hammer attack in April 2012.
Ignacia "Yadira" Martinez and 10-year-old Karla Martinez were sexually assaulted and killed in the incident. Husband and father Arturo Martinez was severely injured, but survived.
Authorities say Clay told detectives he was under the influence and didn't remember the attacks.

THE WEEKLY STANDARD Podcast with senior editor Lee Smith on the crisis in Ukraine and how President Obama's foreign policy crisis started in Syria.
Read more...
The economic news from Tehran is good—good, that is, if you are a state sponsor of terror moving toward a nuclear weapons program. If on the other hand you were hoping that sanctions might persuade the Iranians to cease and desist, the news is disastrous.
So what if the sectarian conflict raging from Beirut to Baghdad claimed yet more lives last week? From the Obama administration's perspective, all's well with its Middle East policy. Not a bombing in the Lebanese capital, nor clashes throughout Iraq, nor even reports that Bashar al-Assad's Syrian regime systematically tortured and executed 11,000 detainees can shake the White House's confidence in its strategic vision. For Obama envisages, as he told the New Yorker last week, a "new geopolitical equilibrium" emerging in the Middle East.
Two public opinion polls released last week show that the American public is skeptical of the Obama administration's interim agreement with Iran concerning the Islamic Republic's nuclear weapons program. Further, the surveys show that Americans by a large majority mistrust the mullahs and, as much as they'd like a negotiated settlement, believe that it's unlikely.
The WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with senior editor Lee Smith on Iran, the Geneva deal the U.S. has struck, and his recent piece "Kerry Says 'No Daylight'".
On November 20, negotiations over Iran's nuclear weapons program recommence in Geneva. The last round two weeks ago ended with egg on the Obama administration's face after Secretary of State John Kerry failed to clear "bracketed text" with his own side in the talks. French foreign minister Laurent Fabius is rightly credited with saving the day and stopping the White House from making a deal that would have given the Iranians virtually everything they wanted for nothing but empty promises.
The WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with senior editor Lee Smith on President Obama's puzzling new Iran strategy.
A recent spate of newspaper articles suggests a concerted media campaign targeting Turkey's foreign intelligence service, the MIT, its director, Hakan Fidan, and almost surely his boss as well, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In a piece published by the Wall Street Journal and another by the Washington Times, Fidan is said to be supporting al Qaeda affiliates in Syria fighting against forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
Despite the administration's hype of President Obama's "historic" 15-minute phone call with the ostensibly moderate Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, the looming prospect of direct engagement with the regime in Tehran over its nuclear weapons program, and all the other symptoms of Rouhani fever gripping Washington, the White House says it won't be suckered by the Iranians. American allies aren't buying it.
THE WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with senior editor Lee Smith on a resurgent Russia's growing appetite for influence in the middle east.
Last week, Secretary of State John Kerry went against received wisdom—and against the assessment of the White House he works for—when he argued that Syrian opposition forces are not dominated by Islamic extremists. "I just don't agree that a majority are al Qaeda and the bad guys," Kerry argued in his congressional testimony. "There are about 70,000 to 100,000 oppositionists. . . . Maybe 15 percent to 25 percent might be in one group or another who are what we would deem to be bad guys."
The WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with senior editor Lee Smith on Secretary of State John Kerry's peace tour, Egypt, Syria, and Iran.
In assessing Egyptian defense minister Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi's decision to remove President Mohamed Morsi from office July 3, there are two key points to keep in mind. The first concerns the army, and the second concerns what is now, given the escalation of violence over the last two weeks, its rival in the field, the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Obama administration is heralding a conference later this month in Geneva where representatives of Bashar al-Assad's regime will ostensibly sit down with the Syrian rebel forces opposing them. The effect will be to prop up Assad. Sen. John McCain, on the other hand, is committed to the Syrian people. We commend him for the courage he showed last week when he became the most senior American official to visit Syria since the shooting started, entering from the Turkish border.
Israel's two strikes inside Syria in early May underscored its primary strategic concern in the ongoing Syrian civil war and throughout the Middle East. Jerusalem first struck on May 3, targeting a shipment of Iranian missiles at the Damascus International Airport that were destined for Hezbollah in Lebanon. Two days later, the Israeli Air Force zeroed in on a dozen sites around the Syrian capital housing Iranian arms and guarded by Iranian troops. For Israel, countering Iran and its proxies is the issue that matters.

Comments about this product:
The promo for the DVD boasted rare or unseen footage. That is not accurate; much of what Sondheim said here he has said numerous times in other interviews and workshops. While his insights into his own creative process are always interesting, the performances on the DVD, enjoyable as they were, did not need to take up so much of the time on the DVD. I would have preferred to hear more from Sondheim, himself, on his lyric writing, and to watch him demonstrate his musical thinking on the piano. The one performance I truly enjoyed was Sondheim himself 'singing' the jaded producer's lines in Opening Doors-- nice touch! Bottom line: The DVD over-promises somewhat, and is a bit overpriced for its short length, but well worth having in your musical theater library.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Who gives a da---whether or not Walker has a degree. It means absolutely nothing. More likely it is a plus that he wasn't indoctrinated in our Marxist Universities.
There is no question about Walker loves God and country. That does not qualify anyone for president. Walker joined the Governor's Association by endorsing Common Core. That was then implemented by Walker and a Republican majority. Where does Walker stand on States Rights, Immigration, Sound Money (Federal Reserve Audit), Gays in the military, overturning Roe V Wade, EPA mandates, Agenda 21 (UN policies on sustainable development), mass transit, Federal Dept of Education, National Endowment for the Arts, mandated vaccinations,----.
So far he is avoiding the real issues. The great thing about not being specific about genuine conservative values is that no one can say you lied or broke your promises when you fail to deliver. Can anyone tell me one conservative position Walker has taken since 2012. (A balanced budget and "rainy day fund" doesn't mean a thing when it has kicked the can down the road with more state debt.)
Here are a few possibilities; Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Allen West, Trey Gowde, Jim DeMint, Justin Amash,,---.
I am a member of the GOP and have been for 35 years. There is a distinct difference between the grassroots and the Establishment. The Establishment has an iron fist hold on the "big money". Walker is being courted by the Establishment and he has distanced himself from his conservative base.
What we need is a Constitutionalist. That eliminates Jeb, Romney, Christy, Walker---. Walker is a "Moderate" not a conservative.
Let's hope Walker proves that he can repudiate Common Core, gay marriage and Smart Growth in Wisconsin first. And stop attempting to terminate constitutional elected offices.
I voted for Walker in three elections. Walker needs to "fix" the mess in Wisconsin before he moves on to DC. It's not the Democrats that mess with his head, it's the Establishment. What tough issue has Walker took on since 2012. He capitulated on Common Core, gay marriage, pro-life legislation, and Agenda 21. Also he wants to eliminate elected offices and establish "government by administrative rule". Get informed.
Right, and he is not Jesus Christ either. He is a governor who curbed the unions and then went AWOL. Nothing has been done since the 2012 recall election. A "budget surplus" doesn't count because it was created with more bonding (debt).
Agreed, Walker is a man of true faith, and he has some great values. But, he is constitutionally illiterate and believes in government by administrative rule (fascism). Contrary to his rhetoric, he supports Common Core and Agenda 21. All of the Agenda 21 policies remain funded. Do you know what Agenda 21 is? Google it.

Eamon McGrath
The ploy seemed to pay off, though, as the bar was packed by the time McGrath and his three-piece band took the stage around midnight. "This is Young Canadians," he announced as they launched into album opener "Eternal Adolescence." While McGrath could be seen flitting about the bar chatting with friends and supporters before the show, once at the mic, the 23-year-old maintained an incredible focus, his raspy vocals cutting through his overdriven guitars.
The record's more upbeat numbers, such "Rabid Dog" and the title track, were unsurprising crowd pleasers. McGrath's years in Edmonton's punk underground reared their head as he leaped and thrashed around the stage. His backing band did a good job of toughening up the slower, more delicate compositions, the lap steel/keyboard player seated to McGrath's left doing and excellent job delivering some of the album's more subtle textures.
"Auditorium," a haunting paean to the concept of punk, proved to be the evening's highlight before the band finished their set with album closer "Saskatoon, SK." McGrath and co. started to pack up but were quickly coaxed backed to their instruments for a three-song encore that included covers of Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane" and "Fuckin' Up," and ended abruptly when the drummer hopped over his kit to tackle McGrath to the stage floor.
The night proved that McGrath has the rare combination of both talent and ambition with a stellar album in the can, and the driven personality to deliver it to the masses. When Young Canadians drops at the end of next month, it's hard to imagine the singer not graduating to larger venues as his star rises on the Canadian music scene. Best get in on the ground floor now -- you'll thank yourself for it later.
Coming back soon! If our developer were more machine than man they'd already be here. Useless meatsack.
For now, please send any and all feedback to [email protected].
