A Clayton County jury returned four guilty verdicts, on Wednesday, against a man accused of shaking to death one of his girlfriend's 17-month-old twins, a prosecutor said.
Tory Sears, 32, who was living with the victim's mother in a Stockbridge apartment at the time, was sentenced to life in prison in Jakylia Ricks' 2007 death, according to Clayton County Assistant District Attorney Bill Dixon.
Sears was convicted on two counts of felony murder, and one count each of cruelty to children and aggravated battery. Dixon said the jury acquitted Sears on a malice murder charge.
Prosecutors alleged that Sears took the twins to a cookout at the apartment complex on Sept. 30, 2007 while their mother was at work. Dixon said the victim began to get fussy and Sears brought them back to the apartment. He said Jakylia Ricks' older brother, who was 12 at the time, testified to hearing Sears yell, "Shut up, girl."
Dixon said Jakylia Ricks was taken to Southern Regional Medical Center with severe injuries, and was later transported to an Atlanta children's hospital. He said doctors said the girl suffered symptoms of shaken-baby syndrome.
"The injuries were significant -- they were not accidental -- and unsurvivable," Dixon said.

Join author David Gassner as he explores Java SE (Standard Edition), the language used to build mobile apps for Android devices, enterprise server applications, and more. This course demonstrates how to install both Java and the Eclipse IDE and dives into the particulars of programming. The course also explains the fundamentals of Java, from creating simple variables, assigning values, and declaring methods to working with strings, arrays, and subclasses; reading and writing to text files; and implementing object oriented programming concepts.
You can use interfaces in your own applications to model inheritance relationships. You create your own interfaces just like you do classes and in the interface definition, you add your method definitions, the method names and signatures, and you can also add final fields that is values that don't change at runtime. Interfaces can't have constructor methods or other elements of classes though. So interfaces should only be used in situations where you're modeling behavior and not dynamic management of data.
I'll give you a very brief example of this. I'll be working in a version of the application named creating interfaces. Let's say, for example, that I wanted to create an inheritance relationship between an interface called press and a specific class called OlivePress. I'll be creating an actual class named OlivePress2. Now I'll right click on press and choose New>Interface and I'll give it a name of Press and I'll click Finish. The first thing you'll see that syntactically different from a class is this keyword.
Instead of public class I'm saying public interface. Now within the class definition, I can define as many methods as I want. I'll go back to my existing OlivePress class and I am going to take some code from there. Let's say, for example, that I want all classes that implement my press interface to implement a getOil method. I am going to select and copy the method's signature, but not the implementation. Then I'll go back to press, I'll paste that in and I'll add semicolon at the end of declaration.
Notice that when I paste it in the code, Eclipse automatically added import statements for the collection and the Olive class. Those are required, but also notice that I'm not implementing the code here. I'm just saying what the name of the method is, what its arguments are, and what its return data type is. I'll go back to OlivePress and I'll take a couple more methods. I'll take to getTotalOil method, copy and paste it in, add the semicolon, I'll go back to OlivePress again, and I'll take setTotalOil, I'll copy and I'll paste.
Now when I save, I get an error. It tells me that methods defined in an interface can only be marked as public or something called abstract. Don't worry about abstract; I'll describe that later. What's important here is that when you declare method signatures in an interface, they must be public. You can't make them private because you can't implement the code here. So I'll change private to public and save my changes and the error goes away. Next I'll show you how to create a class that implements the Press interface.
I'll create a new class and I'll name this OlivePress2. Now you can actually implement multiple interfaces in Java. So you can add as many interfaces here as you want, but I am only going to implement one. I'll type in press and choose the Press interface that I just created, I'll click OK and Finish. When the class is generated by Eclipse, all of the methods that were defined in the interface are added automatically to the new class, just as in a superclass subclass relationship, you use the override annotation above all the method signatures that you are overriding.
It is an inheritance relationship and just like a superclass and a subclass, you can say that an OlivePress2 is a Press. To complete the coding process, I would add the implementing code in each of these methods. This would be enough to get you started though. Now, I will say that using interfaces in your own code is completely optional. If you like the idea of interfaces, use them; if you don't like them, ignore them. But it is important to understand how interfaces work because of the number of times you are going to encounter them in the core Java class library, such as with the collection an array list class that I described in a previous video.
If you want to create your own interfaces for your own applications though, this is the syntax and the process in Eclipse.

At the end, Romney, Obama spar over voter revenge
The tight inner circle that has worked with him for several years in most cases plan to enjoy the final moments on the campaign trail at Romney's side.
"It's been a long road," Ann Romney told reporters aboard the campaign plane, offering breakfast pastries to Secret Service agents and reporters alike. After campaigning on her own for the past month, she joined her husband for the final swing.
After his Saturday morning rally on the New Hampshire seacoast, Romney targeted Iowa and then Colorado. He shifted an original plan to campaign in Nevada on Sunday in favor of a schedule likely to bring him back to Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Obama's Saturday itinerary had him heading from Ohio to Milwaukee and Dubuque, Iowa, and ending the day in Bristow, Va. On Sunday, he was taking his campaign to New Hampshire, Florida, Colorado and Ohio.
GOP running mate Paul Ryan was in Ohio and Pennsylvania, where he, too, took issue with Obama's "revenge" comment.
"We don't believe in revenge; we believe in change and hope," he said in Ohio. "We actually do."
Biden, in Colorado, worked in a new dig at Romney tied to this weekend's shift back to standard time: "It's Mitt Romney's favorite time of year, because he gets to turn the clock back. He wants to turn that clock back so desperately. This time he can really do it."
Polling shows the race remains a tossup heading into the final days. But Romney still has the tougher path; he must win more of the nine most-contested states to reach 270 electoral votes: Ohio, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, Nevada, Wisconsin, Iowa and New Hampshire.
Romney has added Pennsylvania to the mix, hoping to end a streak of five presidential contests where the Democratic candidate prevailed in the state. Obama won Pennsylvania by more than 10 percentage points in 2008; the latest polls in the state give him a 4- to 5-point margin.
After months of attack ads, the Obama and Romney campaigns both closed out their campaigns with some upbeat new messages while their allied independent groups continued on a largely negative note.
Obama's campaign was airing a 1-minute ad, "Determination," in all the major battleground states. Obama ticks through his plans to boost manufacturing, invest in education and job training, and bring down the deficit in part by asking wealthy people to "pay a little bit more."
Romney's campaign was running an ad across the battleground states titled "Clear Path," which pulled clips from the third presidential debate where Romney laid out how his presidency would differ from Obama's.

This was a great hotel and the staff was exceptional.
No. I would change nothing.
The concierge
The. Breakfast and the fact that the windows were so filthy we couldn't see outside the window
Location in midtown is excellent
The restaurant is not special and there is no dedicated lounge area
Location is great. They gave me a good size room. After 3pm the service get's better, better staff.
The service was very poor specially in the morning, which was very disappointing for the first impression, and for the potential of the place with it's location and it's structure.
Location, appearance, friendliness of staff, and the rooftop. The fitness center was adequate and even if it wasn't, the view from there was amazing! There was great food at the hotel and all around the neighbourhood, try Wolf Nights and Tiny's Giant Sandwich Shop. We spotted a few TV and sports stars in the lobby, that was interesting...they are much uglier in person.
I felt like I spent a lot of time waiting for the elevator and the complimentary coffee seemed to be a chore for the staff to deal with. Also, there was an incident when my girlfriend needed assistance with something and the concierge was skeptical that she was a guest and was very rude. Everyone else was great!
Centrally located so many different burroughs were close by (SoHo, Greenwich Village, Chelsea).
We had a king room and it was very tiny. Nice accomodations just small.
There was a little mold in shower. And the shower is rainfall style positioned on a tall ceiling so you couldn't adjust the direction of spray if you wanted to.
Impeccable service, superb location, quality amenities and good onsite food and drink
We booked relatively short-notice, so per-night rate was pricey but equivalent to other similar nearby properties such as The Quin or The Warwick
Great little hideaway in the heart of midtown.
Well-designed room, helpful and cool staff. Great bathroom too.
Too high prices for room service, but waht can you do?
Everything was really nice. Modern interior with classic exterior. Bed was comfy and bathroom was really nice, good water pressure in the rain shower head.
Terrific location. Guest Services were very helpful.
Housekeeping was not up to par with rest of hotel features and services.
Common areas were nice! Restaurant was very nice and elegant. The staff was exceptionally friendly and truly helpful.
Shower needs improvement and even repair. Besides the shower, bathroom was very good for NYC. Bed was very soft and pillows were mediocre.
The room was overlooking Central Park and very enjoyable. My Grandaughter(10) and I were so impressed by the hotel service. Everyone was so accommodating and friendly. Best NY trip ever!
Central to everything
You see and hear everything in NY. Its a life experience !
The bed was certainly comfortable. Probably the best part of the room.
A coffee maker would be nice to have.
Clean with a large bathroom
Coffee service was terrible, in Chinatown
On this trip I just needed a bed to sleep on, and a shower & toilet to use, and Hotel 91 definitely met those needs. While not the fanciest of places, or the most elegant decor, but the staff were very friendly and helpful, the bed was quite comfortable, and the plumbing was all in good working order. The room and public areas were all clean, too.
The hot water took a little long to get hot, but I also blame that on the weather - had it not been ~5 - 10 degrees outside, I wouldn't have been as desperate for a properly hot shower. The room door also felt a bit flimsy, but it kept the sound and cold out so that's more of a "feeling" thing than an actual complaint.

One painting that seems to summarize Rapp's attitude is his "Monument To The Unborn War Hero". A large painting which includes scenes of brutality; tyranny; the soldier in various historical periods; images of Hitler; human sculls; alarming pictures of wolves; warplanes overhead and a very bold nude female figure giving birth to what appears to be a crucified figure of man. It is his visual summary of the consequences of war. Rapp is an accomplished artist, and like so many European artists who have settled in Canada, he has a strong command of modern surrealist imagery. Excerpt from the critique by J. Brooks Joyner, Editor Visual Arts, The Albertan, Saturday, May 29th, 1976
THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPP Born in 1944 in Felixdorf, Lower Austria, I lived and was educated in Vienna, where later I worked as a clerk in the Transport and Insurance Business. After completing service in the Austrian Air Force, I traveled throughout Europe, eventually settling in Stockholm, Sweden. As a Painter I was initially self taught, studying in the various Galleries and Museums. In Vienna, I was often hanging out at the Akademie der Bildenden Kuenste, where I admired the work of the Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus represented there by the Professors Ernst Fuchs, Rudolf Hausner and Arik Brauer. In Stockholm, I found out that I was washing dishes in the very same Restaurant where years earlier another Viennese...

ORLANDO -- Paul Millsap scored 18 points to lead the Utah Jazz to a 97-93 victory over the Orlando Magic on Sunday night at the Amway Arena. Reserve Gordon Hayward had 17 points, while Al Jefferson and Derrick Favors each had 12 for the Jazz (15-14). The Magic (12-15) got 20 points from Arron Afflalo, while Nikola Vucevic had 16 points and 16 rebounds. Orlando shot 50 percent (38-for-76) from the field, but it struggled with sloppy ball-handling, committing 19 turnovers. The Jazz got back-to-back 3-pointers from Jamaal Tinsley and Randy Foye to take a 91-87 lead with 2:19 remaining. They never lost the lead again, even though the score stayed close to the end. Magic forward Gustavo Ayon, who started for the first time this season, missed two free throws with two seconds remaining that could have tied the game at 95. The Jazz opened a 78-73 lead, their biggest of the game, by scoring the first seven points of the fourth quarter. The Magic tied the game at 82 on a 3-point ba...

Otharus, on 12 May 2012 - 09:50 AM, said:
It was supposedly written '1005 years after Aldland sank' (ca. 1200 BCE).
The quote with VAMPIRA is from Minno's notes [035/13].
Minno was a contemporary of Nyhellénja a.k.a. Minerva.
She lived in the 6th century 'after Aldland sank' (ca. 1600 BCE).
OLB has many examples of different words with the same meaning.
BLODSUGAR is literally blood-sucker, the word VAMPIRA is unsure.
It would make sense though, if PIRA means 'worm' (dutch: pier).
Therefore, it is not at all strange that in OLB both VAMPIRA and BLODSUGAR are used as names for what we term "leach" (dutch: bloedzuiger).
Hi Otharus, thanx for summarizing where to find the relevant quotes and assumed point in time of the quote.
This helps a lot.
First of all I find it a very interesting conversation you and Abe are having about the
Though some points are not clear to me. Knul, where are you man? :-)
Or I must be looking over it, but the relevant fascimile of 35 on rodinbook seem to be the duplicate of 34.
Secondly, I see a bit further a reference to the 'pest' (written in 1600 BC?, or do i mix things up?)
Meaning we had allready a first disease in 1600 BCE calling the 'pest', when I thought it was the disease around 14th Century AD we quite recently call 'de pest'.
Surely possible it can be explained by people who know more about the OLB than me.
Can you help?

I did not realize this product was not adjustable. I had an advertisement showing the product as adjustable and looking exactly like the one I found on your website. Since I could not adjust the thickness of my slices it was not usable for my needs and therefore I have returned the product.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?
great product!
this is a great product for slicing paper thin which is what I wanted it for.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?
A great tool for thin slicing; easy to store and clean. While it is not as versitile as a full size mandoline, it does the slicing without the clumbersome cleaning and storage requirements of the full size mandoline.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?

It Works
This little slicer does work and is great for limited use. It does take some effort to use and the slices are very thin and not adjustable. For occasional use when very thin slices are needed, this is a great little tool.I recommend this product.

I never knew what thin was before, put a cucumber across this for a salad. It is so sharp that a tomato doesn't wad up. The guard is worth the $ alone. And the color is the new accent color of the kitchen.I recommend this product.

Great product
Great product. Simple, is flat for easy storage. Bout 2, one for the house and one for our camper. Really sharp. There is only one setting but it works well on most things. For the price it can't be beat.I recommend this product.

Great product, limited use
I bought this to replace a much larger mandolin. It is VERY sharp. It is very easy to clean and takes up. Little room in a kitchen with little storage space. It slices thinner than I thought, which is great for a lot of tasks, but took thin for things like scalloped potatoes. I should have spent a few more bucks and got the adjustable modelI recommend this product.Was this helpful?

Just what I hoped for
This slicer is exactly what it purports to be: an excellent slicer for thin slicing. It is very sharp, making short work of raw vegetables. The hand guard functions easily and holds food well. All it would need to achieve perfection is a little more width so I could make bigger potato chips. I am very pleased with this item and am considering it as a gift for my daughter and son-in-law.I recommend this product.

It performs as it says it will, with paper-thin slices. I would have liked to have had a clamp or something to hold the hand guard with the slicer, but I am using a rubber band, and hanging it on my wall of gadgets.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?

Fast answering, thanks..
I've put one on my 1680x1050 desktop and the windi icon is more an elipse than a circle. I've try to center it but it doesn't fit on the screen.
IMO you should try to put more shadow in the back of the circle and some texture in the inner white. The design is simple and it's a good point but the circle seems (to me) too simple, like "paint-made".
thanks again.

Nicky Hilton in JET Jeans
Nicky Hilton was doing one of her favourite things, shopping! She was wearing JET faded black skinny jeans with her studded Very Prive Louboutin shoes that she loves to wear everywhere. Oh how I would love to have hers and Paris's shoe collections.
Demi Moore in 7 For All Mankind
Demi Moore was spotted at Starbucks in Beverly Hills, California, with her daughter Tallulah Willis. Demi looked cute and casual in a green coat with a black top, her 7 For All Mankind Vintage California Josefina boyfriend jeans and black boots as she chatted with her teenage girl. Demi has been spotted in these jeans several times before and who can blame her? They are cute and comfortable! Buy these jeans here at Revolve.
Reese Witherspoon in Genetic Denim
Reese Witherspoon was seen leaving a restaurant in Los Angeles, California, wearing her Genetic Denim jeans again. I think they are a little too loose on her though, they remind me of trousers a lot because of how they fall on the legs. She is adorable though, who doesn't love Reese?

Rihanna in J Brand and Denim Jacket
Rihanna was spotted arriving at Heathrow International Airport in London, England wearing J Brand Houlihan Pants and a denim jacket with what looks to be a leather jacket over the top of it. I think her pants are cute, but the whole jacket over a jacket thing is kind of odd looking. What do you think DenimBlog readers? Like or no? Buy these pants here.

Great motorcycle campground
Greetings all,
Just a note to introduce ourselves. My wife Kellie and I (Wayne) own Cherohala Mountain Trails Campground (formerly Cherohala Motorcycle Resort) in Tellico Plains Tennessee. It's a great place to stay when riding the trails in Eastern Tennessee. We offer seven heated/air conditioned cabins that sleep two (two twin beds), have boot and glove dryers and all your bed and shower linens. If you have stayed here before we have made many changes and upgrades including, new mattresses in all the cabins, heated/air conditioned main building and bathrooms, new gas grill for your use in the outdoor pavillion, and a tire changer and wheel balancer for those quick tube or tire changes. We strive to keep our rates affordable at only $50 per night (plus tax) per cabin and $10 per person/per night for tent camping. Check us out at cycleresort.com and hope to see you all soon as the weather turns warmer in the near future.
hey Wayne, nice place. you going to be open mid-march? heading down that way for a weekend ride. need to stay somewhere for a night or two.
Wayne, glad to see the resort is back open! Our group has a lot of history there (DOG- Dualsporters Of Georgia) from the Mark and Renee days. I will have to stop by and stay for a night sometime soon.
The property is really nice and we've had many good times there!
Would love to have you come and stay, we are open year round, so when you're ready come on over :D
Stayed for three nights last weekend. Awesome place for a base camp. Very clean with all the amenities, everything you need is here including our gracious hosts Wayne and Kellie. Super folks who have worked hard to make this the best motorcycle resort in the US. Loads of local knowledge to help you plan your day, and then enjoy the campfire and great talk in the evening. Cabins were super clean and well-looked after.
Thanks Wayne and Kellie, you guys are like family now. We will be back, soon I hope.:clap
Web link:
I look forward to stopping by.
ya, what Timo said. an excellent place to stay right in the middle of incredible roads. we will be back.:clap
Great place to stay. Clean and quite. Very gracious couple runnin the place. Right in the middle of Great Roads.
A bump to an old thread.... I've been looking for another motorcycle friendly place to camp at near Tellico. Nice to know its open year round.
Should be a good location for a fall ride base for me...
Stayed there a few years ago....old owners. Was a great place then. Gotta try it again.
Is there any good singletrack near you Wayne?
Yes, single track!
See Tellico Moto Outfitters for trail information!
nice people
stayed there in sept. everything was nice. kellie even made a beer run for us don't get any better service than that.
I see from their website they are dog friendly too! I think Barley and I have found a pitstop on our trip to the RA rally in Alabama next May. :D

Learning to Breathe Through Diabetes

Dealing with diabetes on a day-to-day basis is a lot like endurance swimming, and for many parents, it isn't the arm and leg movements that are difficult to learn, but the process of breathing in a whole new environment. Are you breathing properly?

Obama outlined a manifesto for responding to "Arab Spring" uprisings as he became the first U.S. president to address both houses of the British parliament in Westminster Hall, whose walls are steeped in 1,000 years of British history.
"Ultimately, freedom must be won by the people themselves, not imposed from without. But we can and must stand with those who so struggle," he said.
His speech was aimed at reassuring Europe, where there is some sense that the United States is turning its attention elsewhere in the face of fierce diplomatic challenges from Asia and the Arab world.
In a speech anchoring his four-nation European trip, Obama said it was up to the United States, Britain and their European allies to lead at a time when the world was being tested by economic turmoil, Arab revolutions, Islamic militants, climate change and efforts to spread nuclear weapons.
It is a message he will carry on Thursday to Deauville, France, where leaders of the Group of Eight powers meet.
The audience at Westminster Hall, which has been used for coronation banquets and the lying-in-state of deceased monarchs, included former prime ministers Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and John Major and even American actor Tom Hanks.
All applauded when Obama, who had played up his Irish roots in Ireland earlier in the week, said it was an honour "for the grandson of a Kenyan who served as a cook in the British Army to stand before you as president of the United States".
Obama rejected those who say the time of American and European influence around the world has passed as the likes of China, Brazil and India claim a bigger place on the world stage.
"That argument is wrong," he said. "The time for our leadership is now ... Our alliance will remain indispensible to the goal of a century that is more peaceful, more prosperous and more just."
Robin Niblett, director of the foreign policy think tank Chatham House, told Reuters that the priorities Obama had listed "are going to require a broader set of partners than were in this chamber".
At home, critics have accused Obama of responding too slowly to developments in the Arab world and contributing to a stalemate in Libya, where leader Muammar Gaddafi is showing no sign of yielding to a rebellion.
With some wondering why he has not applied similar pressure to President Bashar al-Assad to stop a bloody crackdown in Syria, Obama said: "We cannot stop every injustice."
Obama, who is under pressure at home not to engage in another foreign military entanglement, cautioned that it would take time for the uprisings in a string of nations from Egypt to Syria to play themselves out.
"It will be years before these revolutions reach their conclusion, and there will be difficult days along the way. Power rarely gives up without a fight," he said.
Eager to begin removing some U.S. troops from Afghanistan in July, Obama said the United States was now preparing to turn a corner there and that, during the transition period, "we will pursue a lasting peace with those who break from al Qaeda and respect the Afghan constitution".
Earlier, at a joint news conference, Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron predicted that Gaddafi would ultimately leave power. Cameron did not deny French reports that Britain is considering using attack helicopters alongside France against Libyan targets to increase the heat on Gaddafi.
"We will be looking at all the options for turning up that pressure," he said when asked about the helicopters. (Additional reporting by Adrian Croft and Keith Weir)

I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane!
Maybe it's just me, but isn't this online dating getting complicated? We can wink, Email, add favorites, and text. I still haven't figured out the purpose of the like! What do I have to do to get a phone number on here? It's probably like fear factor where I'll have to jump out of a plane at 30,000 feet, grab the number from a tether on the top of a 1,000 foot high tower, deploy my chute, land in a dog park full of pitbulls, and run out before getting attacked. Wow, that would be a rush! My friends would describe me as.......well, let's skip that part. They sometimes don't know what they are talking about.... Back to me. Five things I couldn't live without: 1) My Buddies 2) My Cache of tools 3) My Grill 4) Chocolate with my coffee 5) This one is none of your business :) All kidding aside, here are a few things about me: - I like the outdoors, Mountain Biking, boating, snowmobiling, cars, road trips, and plane trips. - Eating healthy (yes, I have my vices....eat organic when I can), - Like to cook....a grill is my secret weapon :) Lastly, I'm very traditional. Your car will be warm when it's cold, I get the door, chair, coat....and the bill! Looking for someone who is caring, goes out of her way for others, makes me happy, and likes to have fun!

I like Dogs
Yep, I'm a dog guy. I'm allergic to cats pretty bad so they'd never work. I've told my nieces when they were acting up that I was also allergic to naughty kids and my eyes were starting to itch....I got the 2 biggest blank stares you'd ever see!
Ely, St. Croix, and Gasthof Zur Gemutlichkeit
I grill out quite a bit in the summer....and winter too as far as that goes.
On our first date it would be fun to rob a bank. You can drive the getaway car and then we can go somewhere tropical. OK, maybe appetizers and a drink would do if that's too much for you.

Teenage hackers Jesse Dailey and Eric Twilegar are the heroes of Geeks: How Two Lost Boys Rode the Internet out of Idaho, a thoughtful, affecting pop ethnography--and heroes is exactly what Jon Katz wants you to see them as. To the rest of the world, themselves included, they are geeks, which is a complicated thing to be these days. With the rise of the networked economy, the world and its wealth have become increasingly dependent on the expertise of Star Wars-loving, cola-swilling propellerheads everywhere. Yet at the same time, the typical geek--especially the typical adolescent geek--remains a consummate outsider, with passions for technological arcana that are both alienating and empowering.
Katz, a writer for both Rolling Stone and the profoundly geeky Web site Slashdot.org, does a fine job of mapping this ambiguous new state of affairs (the Geek Ascendancy, he calls it). But the book's heart and soul is the well-told tale of Jesse and Eric's adventurous flight from lonely, dead-end lives in Idaho Mormon country to brighter possibilities in Chicago.
Katz argues that this great escape couldn't have happened without the networks (both social and technological) that are the lifeblood of '90s geekdom, but he doesn't let his celebratory argument get in the way of the story. Although he's a tireless advocate for geeks (the last chapters retrace his impassioned advocacy for brooding teenage weirdos in the face of post-Columbine media attacks), he presents their culture warts and all, with its tendencies toward social awkwardness and arrogance recognizably intact. He doesn't demand your sympathy for his heroes and their world--but he wins it anyway, by bringing them vividly and honestly to life. --Julian Dibbell

Lousy Video
With trepidation I'm posting my first 'edited' video ever. It sucks the sweat from the testicles of a leathery Sheri's Hotel security guard, but at least it might be interesting to someone.
As a taste of the challenge of navigation you can see me blow a turn in an area that has multiple options, and you can see it in the tulip as well. A quick check of the Cap heading fixed my error, but these kinds of challenges were the norm. My favorite was the second to last and last stages. Jimmy covered up parts of the mapbook and had us navigating with partial info....excellent. The last stage was just fun.
Oh, you can also see my degrading nav setup with my electronic Odo dying on day one which meant I had to slap on a mech odo and move my GPS (for CAP) into a very sub par location. But as Jimmy kept reminding us...adapt. At one point on the first day I was riding partials only since my odo kept resetting. I had to try to force it to reset at every important turn. Fun fun!
Oh, and the fact that Johnny, David and Colton just happened to be there hanging, learning and participating for 3 days turned it into something really not describable...
Thanks Jimmy, Johnny and the rest of the guys.

By all accounts, we can believe that Paul Walker, at some point, decided to live a life that would leave an indelible mark on the hearts and lives of others, leaving little time for the antics we see from his contemporaries on TV or read about in the gossip columns.
My hope is that Paul Walker's legacy inspires you. I believe his legacy of excellence in his craft and the work of his foundation will make an impact on countless millions of people, creating ripples of compassionate concern for others for many generations to come.

Bend It Like Beckham also marks the first big role for Parminder K. Nagra, 25, and Kiera Knightley, 18. Knightly has since gone on to Pirates of the Caribbean, while Nagra has landed a role on E.R.. Soccer certainly paid off for these ladies, and you can see how hard they trained in an accompanying documentary.
Now they're both Hollywood players, and they're proving they've got game.
Nowhere In Africa An upper-class Jewish family escapes Nazi Germany by hiding in Kenya, where they toil on desolate farms, only to find, a decade later, that they're more African than they are German or Jewish. Where is their home? They don't know.
Nowhere in Africa, based on Stephanie Zweig's autobiographical novel, won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The DVD adds the texture of Zweig's commentary, as she recounts her family's wartime saga showing photos of herself as a 5-year-old among Kenyan children.
Director Caroline Link shot the movie on location, with dialogue in German and Swahili, to capture the raw beauty of the land and frightening alienation of a story told largely through the eyes of Zweig as a child, giving it a perspective reminiscent to The Diary of Anne Frank.
Warner Legends Collection: Flynn, Cagney, & Bogart
Were the good old days really that good? Well, if Errol Flynn's swashbuckling wasn't worth grandma and grandpa's nickel ticket in 1938, at least they got to watch a newsreel and a Bugs Bunny cartoon at no extra cost.
Warner Legends is now recreating old time Hollywood with classic releases packaged just as they were when they were shown in the theaters.
Before you settle in for The Adventures of Robin Hood on Warner's "Night at the Movies" edition, you've already seen a performance by Freddie Rich and his Orchestra, as well as a black-and-white report on the latest in tank technology and the vintage cartoon "Katnip Kollege." By the time Flynn arrives in technicolor green tights, you might start wondering whether F.D.R. is going to run for a third term.
Warner has given similar treatment to James Cagney's Yankee Doodle Dandy and Humphrey Bogart's Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
Put in an original context, Olivia de Havilland as Maid Marian has extra oomph. Yankee Doodle Dandy, from 1942, includes a propaganda film starring Ronald Reagan narrating the derring-do of American servicemen.
Each film is available in two-disc sets, and you'll be happy to know, even as far back as 1938, there were blooper reels, outtakes and early screen tests, almost as if Cagney, Bogart and Flynn anticipated the future importance of home theater and the virtues of packing DVDs with extra goodies.

This story was co-writed by Gossseekers! All the clothes were made by her too..(I don't have a polyvore account) ----- Yn pov; Yn: I hate you -crying- Boy: Babey, I said I was sorry... Yn: Sorry. SORRY!!!. Sorry is just a word. Sorry don't mean anything to me. You know what were over. Boy: but what about all our memories..like our first kiss, the day I gave you a promise ring. Yn: like the day I CAUGHT YOU CHEATING. Boy: you don't have to leave. I can make this up to you. She was just a one-nighter. Yn: I don't know whether to laugh or cry. How could I be that stupid to fall for YOU, and to think you'd think I'd take you back... -walks out- Director: AND CUT!! Yes! a scene in one take. I walked out of the scenery and into my dressing room. I love my life as a movie star; I have been acting since I was 12 when I had my big break-through. Ever since then I've been asked to audition movie after movie. I am known everywhere I go. I have the best husband ever, Jacob Perez, or Princeton from mindless behavior. We have a child together; Monique .She's 9 months. We had kids quite young. We're only 21 now, but we had her young so that she wouldn't effect our futures. This is the first acting job I have had since giving birth as I wanted to see my baby's first steps, so did Jacob but that was not possible cause he had a 5 month tour. He is home at the moment; but he only has Tuesdays,Fridays,Saturdays and Sundays off. He only works for 3 days, but them 3 days are long and painful; he starts at 7 am and finishes at 11:30 Pm. Ikr. But luckily he don't go on tour for another 8 months, and he is on a 7 week vacation, I start my 7 week tomorrow.. I was looking in the mirror fixing my hair for the next scene when there was a knock on the door. Yn: COME IN.. Jacob: Hey babe, we wanted to come watch mummy didn't we? What monnie was wearing; http://www.polyvore.com/monique/set?id=50526618 Monique:-giggles- Jacob: yes we did -pokes her nose- Yn: did daddy buy you a new teddy? -kisses her cheek then pecks princetons lips- Princeton: yeah, I was bored.. So I went to build a bear.. We gunna go get bunny some clothes later ent we? Monique: -smiles- ghuu.. Yn: aww, well tonight we got a party and rayray and kay is gunna look after monnie.. Kay is my bestfriend, we grew up together. That's how her and Ray met. The boys were jamming at mine and Jacobs and Kay was coming round and they just fell for eachother. Princeton:Oh, cool. Babe, when do u finish work? Yn: I have one more scene.. Its an easy one.. I have to get in the car and drive away and decline a few calls that's it.. Prince: okaay we'll wait for you.. Won't we.. -tickles monique under her chin- Monique; -hands in her mouth- ghuuu -skipping to after the scene- I walked back into my dressing room, and Jacob was cradling Monique in his arms. Cute! He's such a good dad, and husband. I took Monnie from his arms, and she fell straight asleep. Jacobs: Mothers touch eh? Yn: must be, comon then babe let's go build a bear then drop of Monique. We got in to Jacobs car(he dropped me off this morning so I don't have my car with me) and I placed Monique in her baby seat. We sped off to. Build a bear. I woke up Monique with a kiss on her forehead, and carried her inside. She pointed to a pretty little dress, we bought it for bunny. Yn: babe, whilst were here at the mall can I go get a dress for that party? Jacob: Yeah, sure -hands her his credit card- Yn: thanks.. I left mine at home. The reason we have seperate accounts is so we know if we have got paid the right amount. All the bills come off my card, cause I earn the most. Jacob: I know -smiles- ima take monnie to the toy shop I have a few 100 in my wallet; okay? Meet me at toys r us? Yn: Yeah okaay :D!

Have to agree, if you're not happy with the DR, then I'm not sure the KLR is much smoother. It appears more road friendly ... and with the right mods it can be very good. It's wider and longer than the DR650 and makes a nice road going dual sport.
But as mentioned, if riding street only ... get a street bike. The DL650 is an excellent choice. If you can spend more ... try a Tiger 800, GS800, Kawi Versys or two or three other bikes in that class. That little Kawi 300 twin is an awesome bike from reports I've read.
All that said, I find my DR reasonably smooth at highway speed for a single. Lots of things can negatively affect smoothness on the DR650 and many owners neglect these important service items:
1. Worn Cush Drive Rubber Bushings ... Replace! They really affect drive line feel.
2. Worn chain and sprockets. This is a BIGGY. Some owners don't have a CLUE regards their chain/sprockets. If unsure, get an expert opinion and replace chain and sprockets if needed. Makes a HUGE difference in ride smoothness on the DR650.
3. Some bright Bulb may have removed your bar end weights? They help. Also, an Alu handle bar like a Pro Taper reduces vibes and is stronger and looks good too.
The DR has several Vibe damping elements built in from stock. The KLR has none of these, IIRC:
1. Handlebar mounts are mounted in Rubber bushings. Very nice!
2. Foot pegs are mounted in Rubber Bushings.
3. DR motor has very effective counter balance system. One of the smoothest singles out there at around 75 MPH in my experience.
Test out a few bikes, go with what works for you!

If you want smoother than a DR, you may want to check out BMW thumpers or the Husky 650 thumpers. All have the smooth Rotax motor. Otherwise, multicylinder bikes might be your best chance.
I've ridden the DR over 1000 miles/day. Mine eats miles more comfortably than my I4 streetbike now.

I never tried the '08 and up KLR, but the older ones had a horrible seat. However I am sure the DR is about the same. They are called dual sports, but they all seem to have dirt bike seats. I wouldn't even consider a BMW, that's a whole different league. Even if you can get one for a reasonable price, parts and dealer service is way more expensive than any Japanese bike. IMO, BMWs are for someone who wants a BMW. For value and reliability stay with Japanese. I als can't recommend any Ninja, unless you have ridden a sportbike before and know about the riding position. If you are not riding on dirt, seems like the Honda CB500F might be a good choice. But between the DR and the KLR, I would choose the DR for it's mechanical simplicity. No dual sport is going to be as comfortable as a road bike, but they are all more comfortable than sport bikes. Many people have chosen the DR for super long distance trips. As far as KLRs go, I actually prefer the older style. I sat on a newer one, and it is way to wide for me, felt like a Goldwing with a high seat.

I appreciate all the feedback, Ill try to be more descriptive here for why im looking at a KLR650. I like the DR650 but I want something a little more roadworthy. I dont mind the single cylinder engine. But the bike feels small (im 6'3 240lbs) when riding on a highway 65 mph and up. I would like something a little heavier, more comfortable and slightly smoother on the highway. From what I read about the KLR650 (08 plus) it seems like it would fit that niche that im looking for without a major price.
I considered a Vstrom650 but have veered away due to the price, maybe I'll upgrade to a adventure touring bike after a few years.

Funny you say that, The bike is a 2007 DR650 it was left inside a shed in MD and unused for a year, gas leaked into the fuel and a mouse somehow entered the air filter, chewed it up and made a nest. When I first started using it it ran like absolute shit. After one full summer Ive gotten it running nearly flawlessly. Only complaint is it bucks or pulls sometimes when riding in a lower gear and trying to slowly move through my neighborhood. I assume I have to adjust the choke and fuel screw.

SOOOO....I bought a 2012 KLR 650
After much weight, I rolled out to a dealer in PA and bought a 2012 leftover for $6,000.00. Tried to go lower and even mentioned my military service (75th Ranger Regiment) but couldnt go lower. Ive had it for 3 days and here my breakdown after only having ridden a DR650.
First, The KLR650 is noticably larger to me, Seat is higher, fairing seems huge, looks like a boat compared to the DR650. Sat on the thing and felt like I was sitting in a cockpit instead of a on a bicycle seat. Then the ride, Power delivery was lighter (less torque and pull) but much smoother. Vibration throughout the bike was definately lower except the throttle, felt like it was putting my right hand to sleep but it might just be my death grip of excitement. Wind protection was great, At 6'3 240 lbs the small windshield didnt bother me at all, maybe a bit noiser but not anything that degrades my comfort or buffets my head. When moving it felt like the KLR was very smooth, just cruising along and the fairing provides very noticable stability and comfort , no knees in the breeze. Shifting was simple and easy. At my height and weight the bike is def more comfortable with the seating position and handebar reach. I loved riding in town, on the highway 50+ but dont think it would be much fun on the interstate 70+ for long trips. The only thing I could possible say that is a negative from my perspective is the handbar vibe on the throttle but again that just might be me. Overall I am very pleased and do consider this an upgrade for my riding style.
I very much consider the DR650 and KLR650 to be different animals for commuting and would say to any future buyers in my position to take a second to think about what you want to use the bike for and certainly test drive both of them.
I do minimal off roading, mostly backroads and highway and very little interstate if any. I am happy with my choice and will be giving the 07 DR650 back to my father, hes very excited to ride with me . Many thanks for all the suggestions and feedback.
If you see what you believe to be a sexy man thing riding a red black and silver KLR650 around DE thats probably not me but feel free to wave .

First, thanks for your service, Rangers rock.
At 6' 3" and 240lbs, you will need to spend some money on suspension, spending money on suspension is like spending money on Mom, good things will come from it, there are a couple of rear shocks out there, both the Moab from Cogent dynamics and the Ricor shock have good reviews, as for the front you may need the next size over fork springs, and valves for the front, i love the Ricor intiminator front valves on my KLR.
For a wind screen on the newer KLR, tall riders seem to like the Madstad, it is adjustable.
For better power, you can use the Eagel Mike KLX jet kit and get a little more power (not a lot) but still get good fuel mileage.
I am 6' 3" and 200, and have done the shock and front (except front springs, mine are stock)
My KLR is a 2007 and has a different windscreen, my neighbor has a 2009 KLR with the Madstad windscreen and i have ridden it, so i know the Madstad worked well.
I installed the Eagle Mike jet kit and have been happy with it, i have ridden street and single track trails, it is better than stock and i still get around 55mpg.

Congrats on the new bike Hawk! The KLR can be a very good bike. But just like the DR ... to be at it's best, it may need a few upgrades. The suggestions about suspension are good ones ... but since you're doing all ON ROAD work, it may not be a high priority, but, IMHO, should be dealt with at some point. It can be SO MUCH better with a high quality shock the re-valved front forks.
One thing that would be a priority (to me) is a better SEAT.
I think you'll adjust to the size and hugeness of the fairing and overall size of the KLR in a short time and miles. You're a big guy ... so in the end the XL size may be to your liking. Room to spread out, lots of luggage room.
There is SO MUCH info on KLR's and SO MUCH you can do. But remember: Rome wasn't built in a day.
For now, ride and enjoy Summer. In 6 months or a year you'll know the bike and will have had time to read up on it and study your options. At that point you may feel like it's time to make some improvements or additions.
Ride Safe!

Many Thanks!, Still in the break in period for now (not supposed to go over 4k RPM which is about 60 MPH) but i dont mind the shocks or the seat so far. Seat is a huge upgrade from the DR650 and on that I had the Sargent Seat. Whats the suspension upgrade for? bottoming out on big bumps? or just comfort? I havent noticed anything bothersome with it.

He put progressive springs in the front and a raising link in the rear, made a huge difference. He's been thinking about making a new link now. The store bought link is 10mm longer if I remember right, he is going to make a 5mm longer one and see how it works. He said the one he has works great off road but rides pretty rough on the street, and maybe one in the middle will split the difference.

Longer links will lower the bike. Shorter will raise it. It also changes the geometry of the linkage. Shorter decreases leverage, making the spring effectively act as if it were a heavier weight spring. Longer does the opposite.

Be sure and check your oil at every gas stop! KLR's will sometimes use some oil. Most do not , but if you keep an eye on it you will not have a problem.

My KLR Guru buddy claims just about 100% of the '08 onward KLR's use some oil. Machines that used lots of oil were replaced and rebuilt by Kawasaki and some guys have gone to after market re-build kits. These guys don't use oil as a rule ... but among STOCK bikes, ALL years ... they pretty much ALL use oil. This especially true when ridden at high speeds on the highway. The Guru's '09 was broken in correctly but still uses some oil. Not a lot. He frequently rides from San Diego up here to NorCal. About a 500 mile ride cruising on I-5 at about 75 MPH. In that distance he adds about 6 to 8 ounces in that distance. Around town riding or mild commuting sees almost NO oil use.
We did a 3 day, 1000 mile ride a year or two ago. He added a bit of oil twice on that ride, then topped up for his 500 mile ride back to San Diego.
He's not bothered by it. In a way you could say it's a good thing as you continually add in FRESH oil. So maybe not all bad? But as Don said, on longer runs at speed ... DO keep an eye on your level and try to determine your typical oil usage in a given distance.

still loving it, anyone else notice the 2012 models have blacked out engines parts? I just think the bike as a whole looks very nice, maybe sexy even. I keep opening the garage door to check it out, It is my first bike (that I own) afterall. Gotta finish this 600 mile engine break in soon.

The investigation into the cause of a fire that destroyed a well-known business in Glencoe Monday night continues. There is no official word on what started the blaze at Sidco 4×4 on 9th Street East, but the owner believes an overheating furnace was to blame. Fire crews were called out to Sidco at just before 5:30pm Monday. Employees were reportedly working in the building when the fire started, but they were able to get out safely and no injuries have been reported. The McLeod County Sheriff's Office says that the building is a total loss, but the financial loss is still unknown at this time.

Orton wil be teamin with Sheamus and the Undertaker in the Wrestlemania Revenge Tour in the UK facing The Shield next month so he will not be tuning heel. The fact Taker is wrestling next month in the UK sounds like he may lose on Sunday thanks t The Shield.
do you know what will happen to the WWE if Ziggler cashes in MITB and loses?? the internet is going to go ape shit. They are NOT going to let tha happen
Lets not forget, after the pipebomb and while a face, CM Punk was selling more merchandise than Cena. The only way to turn Cena face is to have Punk turn face down the road (like taking the time off he is planning on taking and returning to a heel Cena run WWE).
