NEW HAMPTON, Iowa History will have to wait.
Maybe a day. Maybe a little longer.
Class 4A 15th-ranked New Hampton denied Gene Klinge his 1,000th career win, closing with a 13-2 run and edging No. 12 Waukon, 54-51, in a Northeast Iowa Conference girls' basketball game Friday night at New Hampton High School.
"We knew what was going on," said New Hampton's Raelyn Webster. "We knew there was a lot of attention on coach Klinge. I hope he gets that 1,000th win. But I didn't want it to be here, tonight."
Klinge, 76, is stuck on 999 wins. The Indians play at Caledonia (Minn.) at 5 p.m. Saturday.
"I'll be happy when it's over and done with," said Klinge, in his 51st season of coaching. "We made some foolish mistakes, and you can't afford to do that against good teams."
Waukon (13-4, 7-4) went into the fourth quarter in good shape, leading 43-35.
The Indians appeared to be beneficiaries of a phantom basket at the end of the third period. With Waukon in front 39-35, Alyssa Collins missed a short jumper while Waukon's Daneshia Snitker and New Hampton's Nicole Mulford battled for rebounding position.
Mulford was whistled for a foul, and Waukon was credited with two points (later given to Snitker) and received the ball.
Snitker scored again for an eight-point lead.
The Indians still led 49-41 before New Hampton (12-4, 7-3) came back.
A drive by Webster tied it, 51-51, with 1:05 left, then Webster made three free throws in the final 42 seconds.
Snitker finished with 23 points, but was downcast afterward.
"We made some dumb, simple passes," she said. "We had some defensive errors. Our shot selection wasn't good."
Webster led the Chickasaws with 17 points. Knowlton didn't miss a shot all night (6 of 6 from the floor, 2 of 2 from the line) and scored 15.
The Indians climbed on the bus a little before 10 p.m. Friday, about 19 hours before taking another shot at history.
"It's going to be tough to rebound from this," Klinge said. "We just need to cut down on our mistakes."
Snitker said, "We need to play better. We need to play better defense, improve our shot selection. We have to play as a team and play hard the whole time."
Klinge has taken 16 teams to state, coaching Waukon to the 3A state title in 2004, his first year there. His record is 999-238.
According to the National Federation of High Schools, five girls basketball coaches across the nation have won 1,000 games.

To say that this is what the 49ers needed would be euphemistic. After underperforming for two weeks in a row, they needed a statement win. A beatdown. On Monday night in Landover, that is exactly what they got.
It wasn't always pretty. The run game was less than stellar. There were a few instances where pass protection fell apart. Colin Kaepernick was forced to burn a time out because he couldn't get a play called in time. At the beginning of the game, the 49er offense just didn't seem to be clicking.
But the 49ers won. Convincingly.
This week, we'll be taking a look at what went right, what needs work, and what to expect when the Rams come to town this Sunday.
What Went Right
Though the 1st quarter was less than impressive (offensively, at least) the 49ers turned in their most complete performance in recent memory...and in my estimation, three things really stood out.
* The 49ers have a championship caliber defense. No matter where RGIII ran, it seemed that he had nowhere to hide. Alfred Morris was repeatedly stuffed at or behind the line of scrimmage. Pierre Garçon and Company had an incredibly difficult time finding space against the 49er secondary.
While no defensive player had a bad game, there were three in particular who seemed bound and determined to win the game all by themselves: Ahmad Brooks, Tony Jerrod-Eddie and Aldon Smith. Brooks was in the offensive backfield so much that he should have been paying rent. Jerrod-Eddie, a backup until Ray McDonald's injury, played more snaps than any of the 49ers defensive linemen and was downright dominant. And finally, Aldon Smith spent most of the night abusing Trent Williams, who is widely regarded as one of the finest Tackles in the NFL.
But the truest metric of the 49ers dominance is as follows: the NFL's top ranked rushing attack (and 7th ranked offense overall) could only muster 100 yards on the ground (as opposed to their average per game of 151.5)...and 190 yards overall. That is absolute dominance, kids...and it's worth noting.
*Though he was far from perfect, Colin Kaepernick is growing as a QB and it is beginning to show up on the field. For the first time since week 1, Colin Kaepernick threw his receivers open. When he threw the ball, he was decisive. He looked comfortable under center. When he saw what he wanted, he pulled the trigger and allowed his receivers to do the rest...and that is something that has been noticeably absent over the past few weeks.
While there were some rough patches (especially early in the game), Kap's footwork looked smoother, his reaction time a bit quicker and most notably, less double clutching. His command of the playbook is growing...and as a result, his execution has improved somewhat. The stat line bears this out (as Kap posted his best ever QB rating on Monday night)...but so does his body language. Less tenatitive. More confident. Less frowning. More swagger.
As the game progressed, his confidence grew. With each completion, his play improved.This isn't an indication that Kap has arrived...but it is an indication that he's on his way. And for now, that is exactly what the 49ers need from him.
*LaMichael James is a COLOSSAL improvement over Kyle Williams. The key moment for LaMichael James came with 4:15 left in the 3rd quarter. Sav Rocca hit a so-so 42 yard punt which James cleanly fielded...right before he exploded up the left sideline for about 40 yards.
Without a doubt, that was the most explosive punt return of the season. Truth be told, the 49ers haven't had a punt returner flash that kind of explosiveness in years. If the 49ers are going to get hot down the stretch, they'll need to see that kind of explosiveness from their return game...and if Monday night is any indication, they've found just the player to provide it.
What Went Wrong
Every game has its share of ups and downs...and this game was no different. In my estimation there were two glaring faults that really jumped off the screen on Monday night.
*The 49er offense cannot afford slow starts. Yet again, the 49ers came out of the gate like their offense had just overdosed on Qualudes. Slow starts do not often bode well for football teams...especially those in the hunt for a playoff spot. The 2013 49ers have been frustratingly ineffective early in games...a trend that cannot continue...especially against elite competition.
Are the slow starts a symptom of poor play calling? Poor execution? A lack of confidence? Odds are that the root of the issue is some combination of the three. Monday night's game went a long way toward alleviating to concerns most of us have about this 49er team...but their start against the Rams this Sunday will say a lot about how far they've come so far this season.
*Colin Kaepernick MUST trust his instincts more often. You've seen it. I've seen it. It usually goes some thing like this: Kap falls back to pass...he's got nowhere to go...it looks like he's going to run...but he doesn't.
On thing is for certain: Colin Kaepernick has the single most unique skill set of any QB in the NFL. His combination of arm strength, footspeed and elusiveness is one of a kind. But his seeming refusal to use his legs when things break down is limiting his effectiveness. Kap will become better than he is at present...but for that to happen, he needs to be himself...and until that happens, he'll be a physically gifted QB that is playing below his potential.
What's Next?
Over the course of the 49ers last five games, they play three division opponents (the Rams, Seahawks and Cardinals). Given the top heavy nature of the playoff pool in the NFC, the 49ers need to win out in order to secure a playoff berth. At this point, the 49ers hold the 6th (and last) seed in the NFC playoff field. At this point, they control their own destiny...and for that to remain the case, they cannot afford another loss.
What's next for the 49ers? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain: they control their own destiny.
2-Minute Drill
*As of this writing, it has been widely speculated that Michael Crabtree will be playing this weekend. If that is the case, his presence will definitely help the 49er passing game...but I wouldn't expect his to have a "lights out" performance right out of the gate.
*The Rams have outscored their last two opponents 80-29. Since the 49ers played them last, the Rams have improved. Dramatically. If you were expecting a 35-11 blowout, you might want to alter your expectations somewhat.
*Some are beginning to wonder if Frank Gore is wearing down after a less than stellar game against the Redskins. The answer to this is...no way. Opponents are loading the box against the 49ers, absolutely selling out to stop the run. Expect to see more of the same from every team they play until the 49ers prove without a doubt that they can beat opponents through the air with consistency.
Packers at Lions (-6)
Matt Flynn, once the darling of the free agent QB world, is now just another reason his team is losing. LIONS.
Raiders at Cowboys (-9.5)
Raiders + road game = loss. Especially on a short week. COWBOYS.
Steelers at Ravens (-3)
This game will be worth watching, if only because these teams hate each other so much. Though both have fallen off dramatically, I expect a great game...which the home team will win, no matter how weighed down they are by the most cumbersome contract in NFL history. RAVENS.
Bears at Vikings (-1)
Right now, the Bears defense might be the worst I have ever seen. Expect "All Day" to go off. VIKINGS.
Broncos (-5) at Chiefs
I wonder how this will play out, especially away from Denver. The Broncos have looked very normal on the road...a trend I think could continue in KC this weekend. CHIEFS.
Buccaneers at Panthers (-8)
I want the Bucs to win this game...but I'm not sure that they can. PANTHERS.
Cardinals at Eagles (-3)
Count me among those that expect the Cards to fall apart down the stretch. Notch another win for the Chip Kelly Chuck n'Duck project. EAGLES.
Dolphins at Jets (-2)
It boggles the mind how any team led by Geno "here, have the ball" Smith is favored to win...even at home. DOLPHINS.
Jaguars at Browns (-7)
I am about to pick the Browns to win a game and cover...because even though they have won two in a row, the Jaguars are awful. Like brussel sprout awful. BROWNS.
Titans at Colts (-4.5)
Someone needs to tell Mr Irsay talking trash about your own team won't typically endear them to you. All the same, his team should notch a win against an improved but beatable opponent this weekend. COLTS.
Falcons at Bills (-3)
How bad are the Falcons? Bad enough that they will lose to a team like the Bills...by far more than 3 points. BILLS.
Bengals at Chargers (-1)
Are the Chargers suddenly for real? After watching them skewer what had been the toughest defense in the NFL last weekend, I certainly think so. CHARGERS.
Patriots (-7.5) at Texans
Do I really need to get into this one? The Texans are horrific. The Patriots, while beatable, are not horrific. PATRIOTS.
Giants (-1) at Redskins
RGIII should not be playing right now. His mobility is dramatically limited, and it is affecting his game. Until he's right, the 'Skins won't be. GIANTS.
Saints at Seahawks (-5)
This game will be one for the books. I smell a shootout. With Browner gone for a year and Thurmond out for the next 4 games, the Saints might be able to find some room to operate in the Seattle secondary. SAINTS.
Rams at 49ers (-8.5)
The 49ers are a better team than the Rams...but this game will not be easy. Rams coach Jeff Fisher has put together a great defense. I don't expect this to be a blowout...but I do expect the 49ers to improve through the air this week...which should help them cover. 49ERS.

Upon Further Review: 49ers Scalp the 'Skins

The views within this article are those of the writer and, while just as important, are not necessarily those of the site as a whole.
By: JoeDate: Saturday, December 7, 2013 at 7:42 PMComment: It's surprising that the title of the article is not flagged by some civil rights group for being too offensive. Maybe nobody cares about the Redskins, so it's not wrong to use the term scalping against them. I bet if their QB was of native American decent, the title of this article would be on CNN headline news and the author would be fired. Go 49ers!
By: Edwin WittmayerDate: Wednesday, December 4, 2013 at 6:33 PMComment: Why can't they get Kap to quit getting delay of game calls? Those five yards every time hurts the offense when they seem to struggle to get yardage.
By: GonzolaDate: Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 3:42 AMComment: Game prediction is in "early" this time. All algorithms were run, every stone unturned, and the 49ers TAKE THIS THING by 7 or more. The little lambs return to St. Louis losers after this last Candlestick experience. But, there is more... Monday night the Seahawks get banged up and several players make the moral decision to quit taking performance enhancing drugs before they get caught. These factors play into a 49ers win next week by 2 or more. The only thing not requiring a prediction: The Carolina Panthers continue to win because the NFL wants them in the Super Bowl this year. Not sure how such an awful team gets the "push" from the league, but then again what were the Ravens doing in the Super Bowl -- let alone winning it? No more losing, because losing is for losers and 49ers are winners -- I can feel it!Response: (AJ) Gonzola has spoken!! Enjoy the game, amigo.
By: GonzolaDate: Friday, November 29, 2013 at 7:24 PMComment: Hope you all had a GREAT Thanksgiving. Great article as always. This week my 'junk' has been less than active, SO might have to hit you up early on Sunday with the game call. My heart tells me the Niners will control this game from the opening kick, but my 'junk' has yet to decide (i.e. my last UFR post). BoneR up Niners and lets kick some grASS! Go Niners!Response: (AJ) I'm looking forward to your game day update amigo:)
By: JoyceDate: Thursday, November 28, 2013 at 1:43 PMComment: I hope you realize that the title of the article is highly offensive.Response: (AJ) Your opinion is noted. In my opinion, it isn't. If you have more to share, please feel free.
By: Lucky PhilDate: Thursday, November 28, 2013 at 9:49 AMComment: Happy Thanksgiving Amigos!Response: (AJ) Right back at ya buddy!!
By: ShaneDate: Thursday, November 28, 2013 at 8:21 AMComment: AJ, nice analysis! Quick side question, the idea you guys had about ppl posting questions/comments after the saints screw job was awesome but there were never any answers. Did you guys get more questions than you thought you wld?... As far as the 9ers I'm not over excited yet, Washington is just terrible and frankly I think we will need to step it up to beat the Rams. My question is why do we insist on doing all these motions n shifts?? We are only making things harder on Kap. And for what? It's not like we are this awesome top 5 or even 10 offense. Obviously it's not correlating to moving the ball with constancy. I think we shld simplify all that crap and give Kap more time at the line to read Ds. that's when it looked like he was at his best on monday when there was still 10 seconds on the playclock at the snap...Happy thanksgiving to you n your family! Go 9ers!Response: (AJ) Happy Thanksgiving, Shane! First things first, we got CRUSHED with responses to our request for feedback on the hijacking in New Orleans. And as for the complexity of the offense, I think that the growing pains they're experiencing now will pay benefits down the road. They are trying to mold Kap...and he will improve over time. But until he does, we'll likely have a few more SMH moments. Have a bang up holiday, amigo:)
By: RishikeshADate: Thursday, November 28, 2013 at 7:59 AMComment: Happy Thanksgiving guys, thanks again for your comments. It seems the light has gone on for LMJ, he's got this electric quality. He's going to break one or two or three long returns very soon. I think the 49ers take care of the Rams similar to their first meeting, not close. Their last game against the Bears was much closer than the score. With 3:10 left the Rams were up only 27-21.Response: (AJ) Happy Thanksgiving, man. I hope that LMJ becomes a bigger part of the offense, too. He's got the potential to be a game breaker. Here's hoping that the 49ers take care of business this week.

It's loud as hell (they started a Termi-piped 1199 for me and though deeper, was no louder than mine), and FUCK this thing makes insane power. Getting on the freeway I took it up to around 10k rpm and almost looped it, the power spikes around 8k and then all the fury of hell is released shortly thereafter. It's ferocious and sublime. I was blown away.
Im still working on reading the whole rr, but I just wanted to comment on Hattar Motorsports. They are hands down the best dealer Ive ever worked with. I bought my Streetfighter there last year and Valarie (sp?) was great with getting me approved for a loan and getting all the paperwork done( it was my first new vehicle purchase, I was 19). When I picked it up the service manager went thru all the buttons and computer stuff and then told me to, "Treat it nice for 100 miles, then beat the piss out of it increasing your revs 1000rpm/100miles."

This is the most important step at which you need to provide more details about the new Drupal website. Most of the fields are automatically filled by Softaculous for your convenience. However, we strongly advise you to change the values of the following crucial configuration parameters:
- Site Name: This is the name of your website and by default it is set to "My Drupal". You should change it to something that describes the main purpose of your new website.
- Admin Username: By default this field is set to "admin". Many people use "admin" to access their websites and hackers can easily guess your username. That is why we advise you to change it in order to enhance your website's protection.
- Admin Password: Softaculous automatically generates a unique password for your new website. Still, you can change the string in the field and type a new password which you can remember more easily.
Please note that by default Softaculous will install the Drupal application in the root web folder and you will be able to access the website via your domain name. If you prefer to install it in a subfolder, for example "drupal", enter its name in the "Directory" field.
The last step is to scroll down to the end of the page and click on the "Install" button.
That's it! Your Drupal application is installed and ready to use. The installer will redirect you to a new page where you will see the details for the completed installation. You can now login and create your Drupal website.

I disagree with your simple notion that the key to encryption is to not rely one thing on another; in cryptography this seems to me to be prevalent. Most if not all crypto relies on the discreet logarithm problem for instance. HTTPS relies on both public-key (asymmetric) and symmetric crypto. I could go on, but I'm just nit-picking
The more secure things are, the more obfuscated they are. Thats really what crypto is. obfuscation.

1983 Hero Charles Passes Away
June 27, 2011
Photo Gallery
RALEIGH, N.C. - Lorenzo Charles, whose unforgettable dunk at the end of the 1983 NCAA championship game against Houston gave NC State its second men's basketball title, died Monday in an accident on Interstate-40 near Cary, according to a Raleigh police spokesman. He was 47.
Charles, a forward from the Bronx, N.Y., emerged as an important piece of Jim Valvano's Cardiac Pack, scoring the winning points in three of the Wolfpack's nine postseason victories en route to the championship.
But one play will always be remembered: On the night of April 4, 1983, Charles grabbed a rebound of Dereck Whittenburg's airball with just a few seconds remaining in the tied game and jammed it through the basket while he was still in the air. The sophomore forward landed, paused to make sure the basket counted and ducked to the sidelines, looking for obscurity while his teammates celebrated on the court.
The dunk gave the Wolfpack a 54-52 victory that shocked the college basketball world and left Houston's Phi Slama Jama speechless on the court of The Pit in Albuquerque, N.M. The play has come to define the excitement of March Madness and will always symbolize the triumph of the underdog over a heavy favorite.
"It was kind of a David and Goliath thing," Charles remembered some 20 years after the famous play.
Charles grew stronger and bigger during his final two years for Jim Valvano's Wolfpack, earning first-team All-ACC and All-America honors his senior season. He was taken with the 41st pick of the 1985 NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks and played professionally in the NBA and overseas for more than a decade.
When he retired, he returned to Wake Forest, N.C., where he became a bus driver for various transportation companies in the Triangle. Monday, he was driving a bus for Elite Coach of Apex, N.C. According to reports, there were no passengers on the bus and no other injuries were reported in the accident.
Charles was a regular at NC State basketball games after he returned to the Triangle, usually taking a seat behind the team bench. He always smiled and listened to every fan who had the nerve to tell him exactly what they were doing when he scored the dunk that made him famous.
Yet Charles always maintained he was in the wrong place at the right time on the iconic play.
"As an offensive rebounder, the particular position I was standing in when Dereck (Whittenburg) shot the ball was the wrong place to be," Charles said. "I was standing under the cylinder, which is exactly where you don't want to be if you're going to be a decent offensive rebounder."
But when he saw that Whittenburg's shot was going to be short, he just grabbed it and put it through the hoop. To his final day, he didn't think it was that big of a deal.
"I really can't believe we're still talking about it," he said in 2008 when he represented NC State at the ACC Legends Breakfast.
Shock was the overriding emotion for the Wolfpack basketball family, as they heard reports of the accident.
"We will be forever connected because of that play," said Whittenburg from his home in New York. "It's just too hard to accept - he was too young."
Whittenburg said he will always remember Charles' great smile and the fact that he never let his famous play go to his head.
"That's just what a humble guy he is," said Whittenburg, who visited with Charles recently. "He was just a quiet, easy-going guy who loved to have fun and was great to be around."
Former teammate and longtime friend Ernie Myers talked with Charles on Sunday. "It's kind of surreal," Myers said. "He's the biggest, strongest guy I know. This couldn't have happened. I just spoke with him yesterday. I just can't wrap my mind around it.
"He had the softest hands, and the softest heart, of any big man I ever knew. The face he had during games was just bravado. Lorenzo was just a fun-loving guy who loved to be around his teammates."
New Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried met Charles for the first time last week, when Charles stopped by his office to say hello.
"The entire Wolfpack family is devastated to hear the news about Lorenzo Charles," Gottfried said. "He holds a special place in Wolfpack history and in the hearts of generations of fans.
"We just reconnected with him last week and our staff was stunned to hear this terrible news."
Added ACC Commissioner John Swofford: "It's tremendously sad to have Lorenzo taken so unexpectedly. As a former player, he made us believe in the amazing. All of us in the ACC send out our thoughts and prayers to his entire family."

BEAUMONT, Texas -
Lamar will be hosting more than just the Sam Houston State Bearkats Saturday. Although a contest against a conference foe is reason enough for Cardinals' fans to show up on campus, Friday begins a very special weekend for Lamar, and it has just as much to do with those in attendance. Lamar will be hosting a men's basketball reunion. One of those returning for the reunion is Calvin Rice, Sr.
Rice was a Lamar letterwinner in the late 80s and early 90s playing for two different coaches (Tony Branch and Mark Newell). Rice averaged 5.3 points and 4.9 rebounds per game under coaches Tony Branch and Mike Newell.
"I had a great time," Rice said of his experience at Lamar. "There is nothing like camaraderie. I have established some lifetime relationships with gentlemen from different parts of the country. We are like family, and although we don't talk regularly, we are still connected."
Although his time at Lamar was a great experience, Rice's career as a Cardinal almost never happened. On a recruiting trip that was intended to scout a different player Rice caught the attention of the Cardinals' staff.
"Tony (Branch) came to see another kid play, and became impressed with me," said Rice. "He established a relationship with me, and did not lie about his intentions for me as a player."
Rice, who now serves as the as the principal of Booker T. Washington Elementary School in nearby Port Arthur, proved his longevity throughout his career playing in more than 100 games.
Rice and other past Cardinals will relive more of their fond memories beginning Friday. The reunion begins Friday at 6 p.m. with a dinner at the MCM Elegante. On Saturday, there will be an alumni golf tourney at the Beaumont Country Club, and an alumni basketball game at McDonald Gym. The weekend concludes with the against Sam Houston State at 6 p.m.
Fans interested in tickets for Saturday's game, can call (409) 880-1715, or visit www.LamarCardinals.com.

June 1 marked the official beginning of hurricane season. In past years, Florida has had its share of these destructive storms, and is sure to have more in the future. So, it's important to develop plans to minimize hurricane damage specific steps to protect ourselves, our homes, and our landscape plants.
The arrival of hurricane season signals the need to develop some contingency plans to guard our lives and property from powerful winds and flooding rains. Ornamental plants and other landscape objects are especially vulnerable.
One of the most important protective measures is to stake down any new trees and shrubs on your home grounds. By "new" we mean any small trees or large shrubs you've planted with the past year. The stakes should be two or three feet long. You'll need three or four per tree. Drive them into the soil to a depth of 18 to 24 inches, slanting them away from the tree at a 45 degree angle. This will make them more secure and less likely to be pulled out.
How far you place the stakes from a tree will depend on its size. A general rule is to locate the stakes the same distance from the base of the tree as the height above the ground at which you plan to attach the guide wires. To secure the wires and keep them from slipping off, make notches in the stakes a few inches from the top of each.
Remember that trees account for 20 percent of storm damage to structures during a hurricane or tropical storm. A cubic foot of pine branch weighs 52 pounds. A ten foot long branch can deliver as much as one ton of force, capable of puncturing the roof deck and/or damaging the trusses. Some native trees species survive storms better, requires minimal pruning right before a hurricane and stay strong with age. Good ornamental trees species include Bald Cypress, Crape Myrtle, and Dahnoon Holly.
Check each one of your trees right now. Look for signs of structural weaknesses: bark that's falling off, poor branch angles (too close), root rot and internal trunk decay. Fruit trees in general will normally be short lived because of severe hurricane winds, exceptions do occur. Older trees are always the most prone to wind damage. Florida maple, Live Oak, the Elm family and several others have good wind resistance as they age.
Any trees that had their roots cut during construction are likely to fall as well as trees that were repeatedly topped and improperly pruned. Finally, examine each tree's leaf canopy. Can the canopy be thinned out or made less dense by removing small branches from the outer edge of the canopy?
For more information on preparing the landscape for hurricanes contact the Gulf County Extension Service at 639-3200 or visit our website: http://gulf.ifas.ufl.edu or www.http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu.

Company has taken my cards but never sent check or received payment. Please think twice about sending this company your cards. "
"I bought over 400.00 in cards for Home Depot over six days ago. NOTHING received! NO response from the two email inquiries I made! I well NEVER buy from them again!"
"Stay away from this site. I received a card that had no value on it. I guess the person sold it to Junk Card with a stolen CC and sold it to me four days before being reported as fraud. Tried contacting Junk Card several times via the web site email. Never received any response. STAY AWAY. "
"Good luck getting a response from their customer service department,,,they only have an email contact. Billed my credit card then left my order pending for two days and then said order was complete...still no e-card numbers in my email address account days later!! Whats up? Who knows...still waiting for response from them. Will contact my credit card company to cancel the transaction and complain."
"They are great. I just made my first purchase and my gift cards were sent out immediately and I had them in my hands within the week (Michigan). I checked the balances and everything was right on. Will buy from again."
"not sure why people are complaining of canceled orders. i had a card shipped to a friends address with no problem. they had called to verify the shipment with me and i have since ordered electronically also without issue. great site compared to some of these other services"
"Junkcard.com was really junk & scam. They bill my credit & then cancel my order. I was never notify by email or phone. They don;t have a phone# to call. All my billing & address are correct. both billing & shipping address are the same. Contacted them and gets no response. I had to call my AMEX to hold & dispute it if I don't see a refund wihtin 48 hours. Stay aways form this site. Use Cardpool, they are more reliable. Now I'm worry they will sell my credit card info."
"I had a very bad experience with Junkcard.com. I placed an order that was cancelled by junkcard.com because my shipping address and billing address were different. This has been my situation for many years and has never been an issue. My problem with them was that they first deducted the money from my credit card and then cancelled the order without notifying me (and they had my email and phone number). I only noticed the cancellation when I checked my junkcard account. I received no notification and was only told why after contacting them myself, (and I received a rather rude response). I will not be shopping with them and would advise others to do the same. They could have at least notified me of any problem and not let me find out while I was waiting for my product, and they could have been polite (in the very least). They were not trustworthy."
"I just found out junkcard.com recently and totally love the website and the way they do business. The payout price is up to 92%, which is really cool. However,the most awesome thing is that they send out payment very quickly. I sold some e-starbucks cards to them and within 24 hours, the payment was sent to my paypal account. Before, I did sell a starbucks card to cardpool.com and I had to wait nearly 2 weeks just to receive a check from them since they don't offer payment through Paypal. And to me, waiting for 2 weeks was not fun and really made me stressful. I am glad I have found out this website and I think Junkcard.com deserve more attention.Hope my review will be helpful to you. Thanks for reading!"
"I first found the site while searching for some Home Depot cards while remodeling my kitchen and found that this site had the best discounts that I could find. I decided to go with the sites e-code feature because it had stated that I was able to get the cards within 24 hours which was very convenient.Although I was skeptical at first, the live chat representative assured me the e-codes would arrive within 24 hours and as promised,they did!I placed my order at night and by the time I woke up in the morning I had the e-codes in my e-mail and was able to use the cards on the Home Depot website making it MUCH easier and faster for my difficult home project. (As we all know how stressful home remodeling can get!) Overall, I was very pleased with the service, customer service, and especially the timely manner in which I was able to use my gift card. I HIGHLY recommend this website to all as I was able to save myself 10%, keeping that extra $150 in my wallet :)"

During a recent discussion of upcoming client projects, Creatonomy's president1 asked me about my recent increased use of the term "transmedia." Specifically, she wanted to know what the difference is between transmedia communication and traditional integrated marketing as employed by Creatonomy and countless other agencies and marketing departments.
That seemingly simple question started an ongoing discussion, generously peppered with deep thinking. We haven't yet reached any definitive conclusions, but already have uncovered some interesting relationships. (more…)

Review: TIFFANY MYNX
general details
I saved my bonus for this occasion for my favorite adult star of all time. Ive been waiting for this and she finally arrived to the city again. I called to set it up and the service called me back to give me her room # at the time of appointment. The hotel was nice so no problem getting in and then she opened the door and we met. She is very hot in person considering she has been in porn for almost 20 years. I placed the donation and she called the service to inform them that everything is ok. I told her that she is my favorite porn star and.........

LIVE MUSIC at the 7th Annual Life By Chocolate!
We all enjoyed Joesf Glaude so much last year at Life by Chocolate, that we have invited him back again for our 7th annual event! You don't want to miss this musical treat!
Guitarist/composer Joesf Glaude draws on a wide range of influences to create an instrumental art form of textures, moods, and melodies. It is an improvised music based on very structured ideas. He is a gypsy spirit in the truest sense. He has spent his life traveling all over the US and Canada, Central and South America, Western Europe, India, and Africa. His musical influences are just as varied and include African guitarist Ali Farka Toure, sitar player Ravi Shankar, jazz artists Duke Ellington and Eric Dolphy, and classical composers such as C.P.E. Bach and Stravinsky.
Joesf knew he wanted to play music the first time he heard the Beatles. That Christmas he received his Grandfather's tenor banjo and a harmonica. After hearing Scotty Moore's solo on Elvis' Heartbreak Hotel, Joesf knew he wanted to be a guitarist. Joesf's father enrolled him in lessons with local jazz guitarist Charlie Johnson.
As a teen, Joesf's first true musical venture was as a guitarist with the punk band "Tropical Skin Disease". By his senior year in high school he was playing tenor guitar and dulcimer in the folk band "Oracle". He continued his exploration of various forms of music playing five-string banjo, mandolin, guitar, and bass in the country/bluegrass band "90 Proof" and 12-string guitar in the folk rock band "Clipper".
By college, Joesf discovered a real passion for the guitar, theoretical as well as practical. As a guitar major at Christopher Newport College, he played classical guitar with the Williamsburg Chamber Orchestra as well as electric guitar with the jazz combo "The Wiz Kids" and in the swing band "Duke". His longest running band was the jazz/fusion group "Mirrors and Changes" in which he played guitar, keyboard, and bass.
Joesf became head guitar Professor at ORU. He left ORU to pursue his music exclusively; focusing on small groups, solo acoustic, and harp guitar. Joesf helped design his primary harp guitar with Oklahoma guitar builder Glen Morgan. He first used this on his CD "Perfect World".
Visit Joesf's Website at: www.jglaude.com
"Music should evoke a spectrum of thoughts, ideas, and emotions without surrendering to words. Music, like life, is about growth and growth means change. I try to convey through music my life experience and Faith." –Joesf Glaude
The 2010 event was hosted by Tulsa's own…Cindy Morrison!
Emmy award-winning TV Broadcaster Cindy W Morrison successfully reinvented herself after corporate downsizing. Leaving a 20 year news career, Cindy wrote a book, hit the speaking circuit and created her own consulting business.

Cindy has a new book called "Girlfriends 2.0″which empowers women to not only survive but thrive our changing times. It's a book ABCNEWS.com calls "Savvy, sassy and an inspiration." Cindy also speaks across the country about "Reinvention 2.0″ showing how anyone can successfully use social media to create brand loyalty and network strategically to make more money. She hosts national shows for The WIN Online (Women's Information Network) and the Diva Toolbox and she's a contributor to Startup Princess which has been named one of the top women's websites by Forbes and Entrepreneur.

Myers Makes it Boise State
Megan Myers
Broken Arrow, Okla.
Union High School
Swim Tulsa
BOISE, Idaho- Boise State swimming and diving Head Coach Kristin Hill announced, Friday, Megan Myers of Broken Arrow, Okla., signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Broncos. Myers, currently a senior at Union High School, specializes in the freestyle and individual medley.
"Megan is coming off a really strong summer," Hill said. "She hasn't rested short-course yards for almost two years, so her times are a little misleading. She knows this is a place she can improve, and it will be great to have her here."
Myers is a four-time state champion and holder of three individual school records at Union, in addition to every relay record. As a sophomore she picked up a state title in the 500-yard freestyle and repeated the accomplishment as a junior. She also won the 200-yard IM and 200-yard medley relay in 2010, guiding Union to a second place finish at the state meet. Myers is coached at Union by David Lynn. She is currently the team co-captain.
Also coached by Lynn as a member of Tulsa Swim, Myers has excelled in the distance events. She holds personal bests in the 1000-yard freestyle and 1650-yard freestyle that would each be good enough to put her name on the top-10 list at Boise State.
"When I looked back on all my visits I realized that Boise State was the one place I could actually see myself being a student-athlete," Myers said. "I loved the girls, the coaches and the school itself."Personal Bests

Whoa! Rihanna Shows Her Boobs in NYC, Wears Completely See-Through Top (NSFW PHOTO)
Singing sensation Rihanna has never been shy for the camera (ahem, collection of nearly nude photos), but the Barbadian star took her flirtatious look to a whole new level for dinner at Da Silvano in New York City yesterday (March 11).
While we had no idea you can go half-naked at a restaurant these days (wait, maybe only Rihanna can get away with that), the shameless artist proudly showed off her boobs in a completely see-through black shirt, tucked into distressed denim jeans.

Various presentations touched on everything from regulatory issues to promising new products and technologies, for financial institutions (FIs), independent deployers, manufacturers, as well as managed services, and consulting partners.
At the moment, the ATM industry is looking into several sources of incremental income that look like they could add up to real money. The two incremental income sources currently garnering the most attention are direct currency conversion and lottery ticket sales.
Introduced several years ago at an ATMIA conference, the lottery ticket sales idea is finally gaining market traction and acceptance by state gaming authorities. It's ideal for ATMs in locations where lottery tickets aren't currently sold and have ample foot traffic to justify an ATM that offers this service.
Dynamic currency conversion (DCC) is a good option for regions frequented by international travelers. It allows the ATM user to select the currency exchange rate applied when they withdraw cash. If they have a choice, they'll seek out these terminals, which minimize their costs for funds. DCC has proven successful in several countries and it will drive business to ATM terminals supporting this application. Conference attendees also discussed cross-channel opportunities between ATMs and other channels, particularly in regard to mobile banking and mobility in general.
This comes at an important time for FIs in particular, as reductions in revenues and profitability have strained resources for FIs of all sizes. Consequently, many FIs are in the process of reducing the number of branches in their networks.
Of course, EMV was discussed at length during the conference, both for timeframes for liability shifts by MasterCard and Visa, and what to expect as the U.S. moves toward EMV at ATMs and POS devices. There is still much to be discussed, planned, and implemented over the next few months and years.
Also discussed was the possibility of expansion and extension of ATMs into such areas as targeted advertising, one-on-one marketing, prepaid cards, and integration with other channels and devices. It's an exciting time in the industry, and SHAZAM is proud to be among the innovators adding consumer value to the ATM.

They're staring at us. I'm not surprised, though. We're out of place. Our appearance doesn't blend in as well as we had hoped. Our clothes are threadbare and soiled. Damion's tired eyes confirm he hasn't slept in a while, which is true. When we heard the first wolf howl, we agreed to stay awake in shifts in case any found us as we slept on the dusty ground. But, I'm only eight. I couldn't stay awake that long. So Damion was usually the one to stay awake and watch for wolves.
We are fugitive orphans. Damion and I have to steal if we wanted to eat. The government, naturally, prohibits robbery, so we have been running between cities. As soon as we get discovered, we leave for the next city. We're running out of cities. There are many left that we haven't seen in UK. Most cities know of us, so even if we haven't ever been there, they know us and try to arrest us. Damion found out there are only a couple of nameless cities we haven't been to on the opposite side of the country that don't know about us because they're so out of the way. This was supposed to be one of them, but it looks extremely medieval.
A grey-stoned castle towers over the meek village. An elevated wall circles the castle, probably to keep out intruders. As Damion and I walk through the streets, bustling with countless civilians, I notice their clothing. Most of the women wear dresses made of old pieces of cloth sewn together. There aren't many men out and about. I only see a couple and they seem to be working rather than running errands.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman steps in front of us and studies us. She is dressed nothing like everyone else. She wears a deep emerald green gown with elegant gold designs across her breasts and along the seams. Her chocolate brown hair is braided over her shoulder and falls to her hip with strings of gold spinning around it. Her warm brown eyes stare at us, noticing how we stand out. My light dress with flower designs on it and the white sandals that show my toes, which are painted pink. Damion's once white shirt, now beige, has the name of the school we used to attend, but meant nothing to us now.
"You two don't quite fit in, do you?" she asks, smiling ever so slightly.
Damion shook his head. "We're not from around here," he explains.
The woman frowns and circles us, examining our apparel. "What country are you from?" she asks. "I have never seen such peculiar clothes and I've been to all 10 countries."
We stare at her, confused. The woman's eyes widen slightly before returning to her original gaze. "You must come meet my father," she says, motioning for us to follow as she walks in the direction of the castle.
"Who are you?" Damion asks.
"Sikirah," she replied. "Princess of Moravia, the country you are in now."
My eyes widen. "A princess?"
The princess chuckles. "Yes. I am a princess, but please call me Sikirah. I dislike being call princess."
"Why?" I ask. "Being a princess is amazing!"
"Because being a princess reminds me of that one foolish decision could cause the fall of Moravia," she explained, as her warm smile turns to a bothered frown.
Wow. The first princess I ever meet and she doesn't even want to be a princess! That's terrible!
I become so immersed in my thoughts that I don't notice we're inside the castle until Damion bops me on the head to get my attention. I missed the entry hallway apparently because we now stand in the throne room. Stained – glass windows occupy the wall behind the tall deep red and gold throne. On it sits a man with a thick grey beard. He wears a gold crown with blue, green, and red gems decorating the protruding points of it. It feels as though his dark brown eyes are staring at my very soul, as opposed to my outfit.
"Sikirah?" the man asks in a deep, commanding voice. "My daughter, who are these children?"
He's the king…
"I have reason to believe they are the ones," Sikirah replies.
The king looks back at Damion and me.
"Who are you children?"
Before Damion can speak, I step forward. "I am Darby Kim, daughter of the deceased Grace and Daniel Kim," I say in a voice so confident, I'm shocked it's my own. "This is my older brother Damion Kim. We are orphaned as of three years ago and are fugitives to the government of our country."
The king nods. "How old are you two?"
"I am eight years of age and my brother is sixteen."
"That is a large gap between the two of you, is it not?"
"It is, my king, but Damion and I have grown very close after becoming fugitives."
"Why do you run from the government of your country? Why not stay in an orphanage where it is always warm and dry?"
"Damion and I do not wish to be separated from each other. And the conditions in an orphanage may seem pleasant, but, in truth, they are foul. There is never a large enough quantity of food to feed all the children what they would like and there are times when the shortages of food cause fighting."
"It seems as though you know much of orphanages. How is that?"
"I had a friend in an orphanage. She often stayed at my house so she wasn't involved in such horrid frays."
The king nods and looks at Sikirah. "Daughter, please escort the siblings to a bed chamber which they may share if it pleases them, and then meet me in my study." He stands and leaves the throne room.
Sikirah smiles at me. "You were very wonderful," she compliments. "Very few have the confidence to speak to my father in such a controlled tone. You did well, young Darby."
I smile and take Damion's hand as she leads us to our room.

So where's your thirst for truth, America? Why aren't we outraged? Maybe because, as White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said, "Benghazi happened a long time ago."
But the anti-Romney claim is just as stupid a lie because everyone knows that the insurance companies that Obama got into bed with in creating Obamacare are the ones that would never allow some ranting Republican to roll back their trillion-dollar industry and profits to a time when people paid for health-care with chickens and cash.
Both the Democratic president and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, see women — specifically suburbanites from their 30s to their 50s — as critical to victory in Colorado

Supreme Court Sides with Westboro on Funeral Protests
The Supreme Court has decided that Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church is protected under the First Amendment when they protest at military funerals, the Associated Press reports.
The court had picked up the case last May. Westboro pastor Fred Phelps leads his church members in funeral protests, suggesting that military deaths are punishment for the country's tolerance of homosexuality.
Here's an excerpt from the majority opinion from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.:
Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and - as it did here - inflict great pain. On the facts before us, we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker. As a Nation we have chosen a different course - to protect even hurtful speech on public issues to ensure that we do not stifle public debate. That choice requires that we shield Westboro from tort liability for its picketing in this case.
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. dissented alone. "Our profound national commitment to free and open debate is not a license for the vicious verbal assault that occurred in this case," he wrote.
Here's more coverage so far from The New York Times, the Kansas City Star, the Wall Street Journal, and Scotusblog.

BB guns vs. Pellet Guns
BB guns generally shoot at a slower velocity than pellet rifles. They also shoot metal spherical projectiles, or BBs, which are used for target shooting rather than small game hunting because of their inability to penetrate skin. Pellet guns generally shoot at 800 FPS or faster, and some even shoot faster than the velocity of rimfire .22 rifles. The pellets are usually pointed and offer better penetration for hunting scenarios.
CO2 Air Guns
CO2 air guns use compressed carbon dioxide as the propellant which fires their bullets. This allows the user to fire automatically or semi-automatically without the need to pump or cock the rifle. The only drawback of CO2 guns is that you have to buy not only more ammo when you run out, but you also must stock up on CO2 cartridges as well. Umarex is a very popular air gun company which makes CO2 gun replicas of the most popular firearms in the world.
I ordered this a few days ago, and couldn't wait till it got here. i waited hours just staring out the window for it to come, until heard my door bell! i ran, opened the door and unboxed my M3 Super Sport Air Gun Set! in my opinion, this is a really good AirSoft Gun if your new to airsoft. 3 things i also have to say: 1. it's durable- 2. puts a smile on someones face, (good for a gift)- and finally, 3. really nice aim. thank you Budk!
this gun is great for airsoft wars
This gun has everything you can possibly need! the laser is great, the red dot is good, the flashlight is a realy good one, and the aiming is perfect. sur eit doesnt hold alot of bullits but with the aiming and power on this thing, you wont need it. I won 13 out of 16 airsoft wars with this gun. buy it
Great gun, shoot 500fps out of the box and looks great in all black. Everything is metal internal and external. The only problem is that you can't use a drum magazine.
Everything the description says is true. Incredibly durable, semi-auto Handgun with great accuracy, I highly recommend this!
