ATLANTA On Tuesday, Department of Juvenile Justice Commissioner Avery D. Niles announced the conclusion of a three-week investigation into safety and security violations at DJJ's DeKalb Regional Youth Detention Center. The investigation resulted in the entire overnight security staff being removed from duty at the RYDC. Six corrections officers and their supervisor were suspended with pay while the investigation was being conducted.
Three of the juvenile corrections officers who were accused, including the shift sergeant, resigned their posts while their reviews were still underway. The four remaining officers were all dismissed.
"The shift supervisor and several of these night shift officers actually watched the youths enter and exit the detention center housing units at-will and without staff supervision after lights-out," Commissioner Avery Niles said. "This level of disregard for DJJ Safety and Security Policy is intolerable. We expect our corrections staff to strictly enforce our security policies as a priority of their daily duties," said Commissioner Niles.
"Our officers are entrusted with ensuring our youth receive their meals, health care and education in a secure environment so they can successfully transition back to schools or employment in their community," the Commissioner said. "This incident is truly an anomaly that in no way fairly reflects the extraordinary efforts of more than four-thousand DJJ employees who meet the daily demands and deadlines that keep Georgia's juvenile justice system working around the state."
The DJJ Commissioner said the investigation of the seven RYDC night shift officers was the result of evidence brought to light by Department of Corrections Investigators working with DJJ in the course of an unrelated case reported at the DeKalb youth detention facility.
The Commissioner said the investigation focused on allegations of misconduct on the job, deficiencies in accountability, and violations of policies meant to safeguard the integrity of the department.

Photoshop Smart Objects explores the creation and use of Smart Objects, one of the most technically demanding tools in Photoshop. Deke McClelland walks through the four primary purposes of Smart Objects, and focuses on one of their most practical advantages, non-destructive transformations. This feature allows any object to be manipulated in any way, while still maintaining its original pixel information. Finally, Deke shows how to crop compositions without affecting a single pixel, even in masks. Exercise files accompany this course.

This time around I've save my changes as Prematurely gray.psd found inside the 06_filter_masks folder, so called because what in the world has happened to this guy's hair? It has turned prematurely gray. Somehow we have brought out gray in this young man's hair and I'm not sure exactly how that happened, especially when if you turn-off the Smart Filters here, his hair is just jet black. I mean there's barely any detail going on inside that hair. And yet thanks to the fact that we created this extreme non-filtering effect here, Shadows/Highlights, we're able to raise those highlights from the dead and as a result create a prematurely gray look.
I am going to go ahead and zoom out from this guy a little bit so we can see not only does his hair have this gray look to it but we're also bringing out all kinds of detail inside that jacket. Check that out. I'll go ahead and turn-off Smart Filters for a second and you can see jacket, just black. It doesn't look like there is any detail there whatsoever. If I press Ctrl+Z or Command+Z on the Mac to restore my Smart Filters, there is all kinds of detail going on now. Totally wild. However, I will go on record as saying I don't think we should keep his hair this color.
I think it looks ridiculous. And also these sorts of semi- sideburns he's got going here, I think we should paint some of those away as well and so we are going to do that by adding a filter mask. Now there is a couple of different ways to add a filter mask. You may recall that I threw away the filter mask that was associated with my Smart Filters by default. I did that in the previous chapter, right off the bat when we applied Color Halftone. So any time you add a Smart Filter to a Smart Object, you get a filter mask by default but then you can just delete it as we did.
I right-clicked inside the filter mask and shows Delete Filter Mask because I just wanted to clean things up. If I am not using it, what's the point of having it especially when it's so easy to restore it? And here's how. You go to Smart Filters right there. You right-click on Smart Filters and you choose Add Filter Mask. That's one way and then you have a filter mask and then you can paint with black to paint away the filtered effect and you can paint with white to restore it and we'll see that shortly here. But first, let's go ahead and delete it again just so that we all remember how to do that.
You right-click inside of that filter mask and you choose Delete Filter Mask. So that's one way to work. If you're working inside of Photoshop CS4, then you can create a filter mask from the Masks palette, so there is my Masks palette right there. I will go ahead and click on it to switch over to Masks and then notice that we have three different kinds of masks that we can create from the Masks palette. You can create a pixel-based mask, which is a standard layer mask. You can create a vector mask which is a vector-based layer mask, meaning that you're carving out the layer into a vector-based shape, and then finally you can add this guy which is the filter mask.
This little icon there only appears when you're working with a Smart Object that has Smart Filters assigned to it. That's the only time, otherwise you won't see this option. But anyway, in our case we do is to go ahead and click on Add Filter Mask and now you have a filter mask and now you can modify that filter mask from the Masks palette if you want or just by painting with the Brush tool which is what we're going to do in the next exercise.

EU Pushes Apple, Google to Drop "Free" from Games with In-app Purchases
The European Union's European Commission thinks free games with in-app purchases shouldn't be called "free," and has been pushing Apple and Google to change how they represent those apps to buyers. Google has capitulated, and now the EU is calling out Apple for failing to take action, although Apple thinks it's already doing more than other companies to keep consumers well informed.

This comes down to the EU saying free isn't really free if in-app purchases are available. Apple seems to disagree, so now we get to sit back and watch to see who blinks first.

AMES, Iowa – Abbey Smith of Madison County has been selected to represent Iowa as a delegate for the National 4-H Congress entitled "Accept the Challenge" in Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 27 – Dec. 1. One of 22 Iowa youth attending, she is sponsored by the Iowa 4-H Foundation National 4-H Congress Endowment and will get a chance to listen to speakers, participate in workshops and serve the Atlanta community.

"Not only do youth meet delegates from across the country, they also have the opportunity to hear nationally-renowned speakers and participate in thought-provoking workshops."
The workshop topics include team building, cultural issues and leadership skills, and the community service projects take place in the Atlanta area. Tours of Atlanta, an international night and a trip to the Atlanta History Museum are among other things also included.
Smith, 16, is the daughter of R.W. and Cindy Smith of Adel. Through interviews and evaluation of support materials, she and the other 21 delegates were selected based on their citizenship, leadership and overall achievement in the 4-H program.
During her eight years in 4-H, Smith has been involved in the communication, veterinary science, horse and food and nutrition project areas, while receiving a state 4-H dog project award and top record book and citizenship awards at the local level. She has also helped younger members in her county learn about the horse and dog project areas.
"My favorite part of 4-H is helping the younger members with their animals," she said. "The joy on a young member's face when they do well in a class is indescribable, and I know that I helped them accomplish that."
In addition to projects, Smith has served as her county 4-H council's president and as a member of her county youth committee and area 4-H council. She has attended the Iowa 4-H Youth Conference and is currently a junior at Adel-Desoto-Minburn High School.
"4-H has helped me gain leadership roles in my community and county," she said. "It has also given me more citizenship roles, which will be important for the rest of my life."
Two ISU Extension youth development field specialists, Ray Reynolds and Daleta Christensen, will accompany the Iowa delegates as chaperones.
For more information about 4-H, contact the Madison County office of ISU Extension. 4-H in Iowa is administered through the ISU Extension 4-H Youth Development program and headquartered on the ISU campus in Ames.

How to Improve Your Social Media Marketing With Blogging
Do you blog? Are you active on social media?
Have you integrated your blogging with your social activities?
Blogging can help you improve your social media marketing.
In this post, you'll discover four tips to enhance your social media efforts using your business blog.
#1: Share Your Blog Posts in Your Social Status Updates
Not sure what to post on your Facebook wall or Twitter profile? How about links to your blog posts?
The rule of thumb is to have a 80/20 split with 80% of your updates not self-promotional and 20% self-promotional. If you use the 20% self-promotional updates to share links to your blog content, you'll give your followers something more valuable to read than a product or service sales page.
How B2B Marketers are Benefiting from Facebook
The story of Apollo 13 astronauts trying desperately to get back to Earth after a failed mission has a lesson for B2B marketers.
Astronauts used the moon's gravitational pull to slingshot them so they had enough power left to get back to Earth.
B2B marketers: Facebook is your moon.
In the 2012 Social Media Marketing Industry Report, B2B marketers reported that they were far more likely to increase their use of LinkedIn and blogging than Facebook in the coming year.

5 Ways Online Businesses Are Succeeding With Social Media
Marketing your online business through social media websites can be a great way to encourage engagement with your brand in a low-pressure setting.
However, getting started with this new type of media can be intimidating for some business owners.
Take a look at the following five examples of ecommerce websites that are succeeding with social media for ideas on how to use social media effectively.
#1: Use Facebook Apps Strategically to Guide Users
As social media expert Amy Porterfield mentioned in her recent "How to Use Facebook Apps to Improve Fan Engagement," article on Social Media Examiner:
Since page admins can no longer designate a default landing tab (also referred to as the "default welcome tab"), businesses need to get more creative and use custom apps to direct Facebook page visitors to take action.
One example of an ecommerce website that's taking this principle to the next level is ShoeDazzle, the discount footwear retailer, with its custom Style Profile app.
Once Facebook visitors grant access to the app, they're able to complete the quiz to find their ideal style matches and are then redirected to specific purchase pages on the ShoeDazzle website, encouraging purchase decisions and eliminating the "tire kicking" that can occur with social media visitors.
How to Use the New Facebook WordPress Plugin: A Complete Guide
Facebook has released a highly comprehensive plugin for WordPress.
With the new plugin, you can perform sophisticated auto-publishing to your Timeline and add many Facebook features to your self-hosted WordPress blog. (This plugin does not work on blogs hosted on WordPress.com.)
This makes advanced Facebook social sharing features accessible to everyone.
This detailed article tells you how to install and use this powerful plugin.
#1: Install the Facebook Plugin on Your Blog
From inside your WordPress admin dashboard, go to the Plugin section and search for "Facebook." The Facebook plugin for WordPress should appear at the top of the search results.
13 Tips to Combine Photos and Social Media for Greater Exposure
Are you looking for new ways to help your business stand out with social media?
Are you wondering why Pinterest is so popular?
The answer is pictures!
Photos are the perfect social media marketing tool for small- and medium-sized businesses.
Why Use Photos?
Photos are eye-candy that attract and engage readers with your offering. As the Jack (or Jill) of all trades, small business owners tend to have limited budgets—and more importantly, time—to promote their business. Therefore, each marketing element must effectively drive results.
With Pinterest's recent growth and Facebook's purchase of Instagram, now's the time to expand your social media content with photos.
To put this in perspective, Pinterest has experienced exponential growth as tracked by Nielsen, passing Tumblr and Flickr.
Concurrently, Instagram's growth trend monitored by Experian Hitwise has also taken off. Furthermore, don't overlook older photo social media options like Facebook, Twitter and blogs.
7 Ways to Increase Your Blog Visibility With Social Sharing
Are you looking to drive more traffic to your blog content?
Social sharing is critical.
But how can you make your content as shareable as possible?
Follow this process, and consider the following 7 tips.
#1: Identify Your Most Popular Posts and Keywords
Take stock of your current content. What topics are already popular with your audience?
Look at your top content and keywords in Google Analytics. If you're using a social sharing plugin like Shareaholic or Digg Digg, you may be able to get some free analytics on your most popular content that can help you learn what your audience wants.
Examine what isn't getting shared and start to think about how you can replicate the success of the proven winners.
How to Promote Your Blog With Social Media
Are you looking to use social media to promote your blog?
Sharing your blog posts on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and even Tumblr can help your content gain significant exposure.
But each social media platform is distinct with different benefits and abilities. You need a simple process to tailor your social sharing to generate as much engagement as you can on each of these platforms.
Here's a process you can use to ensure your posts get maximum mileage. Consider these steps and adapt them to the social platforms where you find your customers.

Legacy of the Fallen Kingdom
Denis Heeger
Race: Human
Class: Wizard
Age: Unknown
Height: 5'7"
Eccentric Wizard and one of the original members of the Hero's of the Hawk, since the events at the end of the Shadow War he has rarely been seen. Some say they have seen a similar wizard practicing wild magic near the coast lines of Sarlona but nothing can ever seem to be confirmed. He currently carries the Wave Gem with him. Given that the Wave Gem has extended his normal life span, there is a chance that his mind may have slipped over the long years.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: The Price of Immortality by C.M. Whitlock another book full of Knights and battles, with strong men and woman.
Although "The Mists of Avalon" has been criticized as being a "feminist" book, I don't think this criticism holds up. Yes, the author chose to focus on the conflicts and emotions of the women involved, but their gender is far less important in the book than is their religion. Morgaine, as a Druid and Priestess of the Goddess, is struggling to keep her dying religion alive against the growth of Christianity and Gwenhwyfar.
The main character in "The Mists of Avalon" is Morgaine and we follow her from childhood to her rise as a priestess on the mystical Isle of Avalon, the home of the druids of the Old Religion, the religion of the Goddess. Avalon, as can be deduced from the book's title, is surrounded by swirling, protective mists that cause it to be invisibe to all but the initiated. Morgaine's life, down to its very core, is shaped both by her desire to serve the Goddess and by her despair at seeing the Old Religion being tossed aside in favor of Christianity, by royalty and the common people alike.
The book also focuses on Gwenhwyfar, and we are privy to her first meeting with Arthur when, as an innocent child, she crosses through the mists of Avalon to the other side. As Queen, she is a guilt-ridden figure who turns to Christianity in her desire to bear a child and begs Arthur to do the same, thus bringing about the fall of Camelot.
While I found Morgaine to be a character of depth, intelligence and tremendous emotional range, Gwenhyfar came off as shallow, jealous and more than a little suspicious. Viviane, The Lady of the Lake, who also plays quite a role in this book, seems to be a little too manipulative, but very interesting, nonetheless.
Anyone interested in Wiccan rituals will find this book extremely interesting. The transformations from ordinary woman to priestess and the effects of the Old Religion on the "modern" world are simply part and parcel of this book's magic.
This is a long book, but don't let its length put you off. It is an extremely fascinating and pleasant read and it's quite easy to find a stopping place should you need to put the book down (though I doubt you'll want to).
Those looking for historical accuracy regarding the rise of Christianity in Britain should look to another book. "The Mists of Avalon" is entertainment, pure and simple. The portrayal of Druidism and the focus on the priestesses of Avalon, descended from the lost island of Atlantis, the frequent visits to the land of the Fairy--all of this places this book squarely within the fantasy genre, rather than the historical realm. And, all to the good.
I found "The Mists of Avalon" to be an all-absorbing book and one that gave me a new perspective on the Arthurian legend. The women involved became more real to me, with many new facets and aspects of personality. I am so glad I read this book. I found it magical, mystical and unforgettable and it's one book I am recommending to everyone I know, whether they are fantasy addicts or not.

A lot of girls – both young and not-so-young like Hello Kitty. Just recently, during hubby's Highschool friends get-together, one of his friends asked why Hello Kitty does not have a mouth. That got me thinking and I need to satisfy my curiosity and thank goodness the big G always have the answer to every possible question.
So what is the Hello Kitty story? There's an urban legend that says Hello Kitty was designed to worship the devil. According to the legend, there was a Chinese woman who has a teenage daughter with mouth cancer. She went through various churches to pray for the recovery of her child. She felt really hopeless because her child is not getting any better, so she made a pact with the devil to heal her child. The devil agreed, but with one condition. She needs to create a character that will appeal to every child and will serve as representation of the devil. Thus, Hello Kitty came to life, but she didn't put a mouth on Hello Kitty because of the mouth cancer that her daughter once had. Also, according to the legend, Hello Kitty means Hello Demon in Chinese. The ears of Hello Kitty represent the demon's horns. The worshipers of the devil refer to Hello Kitty as the "daughter of the devil".
Scary story isn't it? Good thing these things are nothing but myths. Hello Kitty was created by Japanese company Sanrio and it was designed by Yuko Shimizu. Hello Kitty was designed without a mouth to give her ambiguous emotions. The designer want people to project their own feelings to the character. So if you feel happy, Hello Kitty is also happy and whenever you feel sad, she will feel the same way too. Another reason why Hello Kitty does not have a mouth because "she speaks from the heart" and it encompasses all language barriers.
The real story behind Hello Kitty is that she is not associated with devil worshipers or any satanic rituals. Hello Kitty is a symbol of friendship and she encourage friendship all over the world. Now that you know what is the Hello Kitty story, feel free to tell your friends about it.

NORRA Mexican 1000 - 2013 Rules / Updates
View Single Post
Beastly Adventurer
Joined: Sep 2005
Location: Charlotte, NC
Oddometer: 1,276
Reading over the rules I noticed the timing check ins at the beginning of the day and first stage are a little different from other rallies. The example given shows the check in window during the minute prior to your actual check in time, not the minute
your check in time. Is this correct and if so why the divergence from traditional rally scoring?
From the rule book:
7.2. The size of the check in window is:
1. For the start of each day: one minute.
2. For the arrival at the first racing stage of each day: one minute.
7.3. Examples:
At the very beginning of the rally, you have an assigned time, published beforehand, to leave the ceremonial start on a transit at 7:15:00.
You need to present yourself at the start between 7:14:01 and 7:15:00
to receive your time card and begin your transit at 7:15:00.
Typically the check in window would be during the minute posted 7:15:00 to 7:15:59
Same for arriving at the first race stage. Start time of 7:15:00 plus transit time of say 1 hour would traditionally put you checking in from 8:15:00 to 8:15:59. Based on the example given in the rule book I'd question if this is correct.
Maybe Anders can clarify...

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 12, 2012
The presence of cockroaches is a common indoor problem. But more than just providing shoppers a safe and effective product to get rid of them, My Cleaning Products is also giving out a discount.
As a green cleaning company, My Cleaning Products has a wide array of cleaners that passed several federal programs and guidelines. They were also proven effective by the users themselves who are generally house owners, hotel managers and cleaning contractors.
Roach Bully is basically one of those cleaners that My Cleaning Products has to offer. Like the rest of its cleaning solutions, the product is made with natural ingredients and its very own unique Green Bean Formula. And because of the absence of strong chemical ingredients in the solution's content, it was classified as pesticide-exempt.
Compared with other cockroach elimination products, a company representative said that Roach Bully got the edge of being safe and effective at the same time. The use of it, he said, effectively get rid of the pests, which in turn prevents its possible health risks.
But apart from that, the rep added that the product also spares the users and others as well who could be exposed to it from chemical-related health problems. He gave allergies, poisoning, nausea and coughing as examples of them.
More than being safe and effective as the same time though, My Cleaning Products said

Sonnen: Vitor Belfort is a stud when he believes in himself

^_^ Big difference from before with how he can't hold Belfort accountable for what he says because Belfort is a fool.
8/27/12 1:25 AM by Fabefromfort
Vitor is in some deep kaka here, but, you never know with Vitor. I think if he and Hendo, or anyone lands right, Vitor has bigger KO power, which he posseses in both hands. Much bigger. He can be lethal. Not many can finish better. He becomes a whirlwind if you are hurt, and, he can stop that whirlwind to submit you, on a dime. He has to take the chance and get inside Jones' perimeter, just like Peter Aerts did to beat Semmy Schilt, who in K1 was dominating everyone cuz of his 6 foot 11 stature, and knees. Once inside that perimeter he will be outside Jones power range, and he has to let loose the cannons. Of course, then he is in Jones Elbow range, so he has to be careful, and, expect that, but get there and let fly. KO, or be KO'ed. Maybe get it to the ground, once in awhile to see what you can do, but, he has to use his speed of foot, and quickness, and make his handspeed the thing that decides this. Belfort has spent a lot of his career buggering up fights, coming in out of shape, or something outside the ring bothering him, even before his Sister got kidnapped. He has to be all-in on this baby. In the first super fight with Leonard against Duran, the Brawl For it All, the build-up was enormous. Very much like the Fight of the century ( Ali_Frazier ). A clash of titans like Jones-Silva could have been... epic in scale. One for the Cosmos, never to be duplicated. Leonard recollected he couldn't deal with the buildup, the hype, the legend of Roberto Duran, and it got to him.He was too young. He threw out his gameplan much to the chagrin of Angelo Dundee, his trainer, and head corner-man, and as soon as the leather started flying he stood in the pocket and slugged with Mega-Slugger Duran. Instead of sticking and moving, and boxing...he slugged it out, and Lost. Point being lets see how Jones stands up to the Hype which will be considerable. When pressure of that sort gets going, shit happens. 50,000 strong will the fans be. If they're mostly anti Jones, and Canadian fans are far and away the most knowledgeable fight fans on the globe and most boisterous, it will be a scene. Don't forget there is a high percentage of Canadian fans at every single UFC fight. Right from fight one. One way or the other it will be a fight. This ain't no 13-1 odds fight.
8/26/12 7:50 PM by thisisnotphilip
although i believe most of th ethings bigdee said are true concerning vitor's skills and where they put him toolset-wise, i am not sure how this will play out for vitor when i reconsider his fight with rumble. imho dat shit was close as fuck and we are talking rumble here. jones is like rumble^10. well, we'll see.
8/26/12 4:11 AM by allforroy
Plus...he's got nothing to lose. He's been in the gym, no big cut to 185, faster hands than anybody Jones has fought, and will have the crowd behind him. Enough to beat Jones? We'll see.
8/26/12 3:03 AM by bigdee1983420
Nobody should use the Anderson frontkick as a reason to doubt Vitor Belfort's skills/abilities. There is something different about Vitor every since he went to 185. People seem to forget that during the Couture,Tito fight years. Hes sister was kidnapped,and never found,thats a huge deal to an individual. I think that took him along time to get over that(It would effect anybody mentality). Since he went to Extreme Couture,and Now BlackZillians Vitor has a totally different focus/mindset. If you look at his skills alone,he has all the tools in his arsenal to beat anybody in the world. Fast,Explosive,Accurate Hands that are Dynamite if they connect. His Boxing technique has gotten better over the years,he also adapts Karate technique into his style(stance/footwork/elusive/punches),and Muay Thai. Training at BlackZillians with Overeem,and his striking coach's. Will make Vitor that much more lethal with his striking attack. Vitor has awesome Jujitsu when he gets to use it in his fights. He was showing some good control,and fast jujitsu/triangles in the Anthony Johnson fight. Vitor also has good wrestling ala Liddell etc.. fights. Hes improved his takedown defense as well. I have no idea why people always see a fighter lose(and lose to the best/Anderson),and assume hes not at the elite level. Vitor's only lost 1 fight in 5 fights,he still is in the elite IMO. Vitor can make great trouble for Bones striking,Bones needs to get this down. Vitor want stand directly infront of Bones. I see him using his footwork,and aggressively countering Bones ala Machida. WAR VITOR BELFORT!!!
8/26/12 2:59 AM by LBH_RN
This analogy only works with kids whose teams get destroyed on the field. "Remember kiddo, you guys didn't lose, they just scored 40 more points than your team"I would love JJ to get crushed for what he's done/said, but this will not end well for Vitor, hence the 13-1 odds.
8/25/12 10:38 PM by mijo
Vitor is a extraordinary athlete. His hands are still just as fast as anyones in the UFC, and I have only seen him submitted once by Alistar Overreem, who is very underrated on the ground. On paper I have Vitor with an edge in striking, and on the ground I have Jon Jones. I honestly do believe that Vitor has what it takes to beat Jon Jones. Chael Sonnen is 100% correct.
8/25/12 10:30 PM by WhiskyJars
vitor is old school warrior . cant believe he is still around kicking ass ttt for vitor getting his world title back
8/25/12 10:23 PM by paluka
Don't know if you are trolling or just that stupid. Silva has kicked many people in the head, and many fighters get kicked in the head that are considered legends. Henderson got kicked in the head, and even couture got hit by a crane kick. The statement that fighters don't get kicked in the head is the most ignorant I've read in a while.Belfort is nowhere near Silva's level. That is the reason he lost.this has to be a troll.
8/25/12 10:03 PM by dchi07
He won a UFC tournament when he's was fucking 19 years old. He got in the cage with tank and ferrozzo when they were both considered monsters and ko'd them. To try and call vitor a coward, when he's spent half his life in the fight game, is a joke. Fuck you, you faggot.

- Pangaea begins to break up
Pangaea (sometimes spelled Pangea), the most recent of a series of supercontinents on Earth, formed about 270 million years ago and broke apart about 200 million years ago. At this time most of the dry land on Earth was joined into one huge landmass that covered nearly a third of the planet's surface. The giant ocean that surrounded the continent is known as Panthalassa.
The movement of Earth's tectonic plates formed Pangaea and ultimately broke it apart.
Pangaea existed during the Permian and Triassic geological time periods, which were times of great change. The Permian mass extinction, which wiped out an estimated 96% species about 248 million years ago, was a major event during this time.

Over 200 million years ago, the continents were joined together.
Dr Iain Stewart explains how the Earth's moving tectonic plates resulted in a supercontinent called Pangaea.
Pangaea or Pangea (/pænˈdʒiːə/) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It formed approximately 300 million years ago and began to break apart after about 100 million years. Unlike the present Earth, much of the land mass was in the southern hemisphere. Pangaea was the first reconstructed supercontinent and it was surrounded by a super ocean, Panthalassa.

A perfect day with many volunteers from the area to help get this site cleaned up! The flood ground was hard enough for our large trucks yet soft enough to remove debris. Thank you team 211 for organizing this one!
Come help and have fun with us! Call 314-441-9955
by Booch
February 15th at 8:30am until the 16th 4:00pm.
This cleanup needs everyone's help. This land has been collecting trash since the Great Flood of 1993. There are 1000's of tires, hundreds of 50 gallon barrels, 3 boats, hot tubs, fuel-oil tanks, camper-shells, and a whole bunch of litter and trash. In some areas, you can walk across the trash without touching the ground. Yes, it is that bad.
This will be a two day cleanup, and we will still not be completed with this area. This will be a ongoing project for years, but we can make a large dent in the trash. With this amount of tires and barrels, the mosquito population is completely out of whack.
We will be having food on Saturday around the Noon hour and be parking in the George Khoury League Ball Field parking lot, then walking in to the site. Multiple dumpsters will be needed for this one.
We could use ATV's and a Bobcat if you have them, possible with a trailer or two.
This is also a good opportunity for Community Service for Scouts, church/school groups.
PLEASE CALL 314-441-9955 so our group can work as a team. Any amount of time you can offer is greatly appreciated! Please visit our Facebook Page for more information:

Google TV gadget costs $35. Game changer?
A reporter holds the new Google Chromecast during a special event at Dogpatch Studios on July 24, 2013 in San Francisco, Calif.
Google had one of those big product reveals today and actually pulled off a bit of a surprise. Google released Chromecast, which aficionados say is part of the larger consumer trend merging your television with your computer.
Chromecast will allow users to connect their devices, like smartphones and tablets, to the TV. An app then allows them to connect to their home Wi-Fi network and share content from their devices and the cloud on their TV.
Google will be taking on rival devices like Apple TV and Roku, but "the biggest difference is $35," says Marketplace's tech reporter Queena Kim. She says Apple TV, Roku and other streaming and interface devices cost upwards of $100.

Every time I held a rose, it seems I only felt the thorns.
Life is good. I recently made a change in my life. I decided to get healthy and become fit again. For 3 weeks now I have done crossfit 5 days a week. I have lost around 25lbs of fat and put on 10 lbs of muscle. The funny thing is, I don't look like my pictures anymore. Ill try to get some new ones posted. I'm hoping to wait till I get a little bit more in shape first. Thus change has made me realize a lot of my flaws and forced me to work on them. My confidence is going and I'm becoming a better person. With that being said, back to my profile :-) I guess I should say something about my self. I work at a university. I mostly do data research, but I love my job due to its benefits. I get close to 1 1/2 months of time off every year. This gives me a lot of time to go places and have fun. I love cruising. I've been on nearly 15. I am always ready to go on a cruise. I love sports. Texans, Dynamo, Astros I just love going to events. I'm an avid hunter and gun owner. I can talk guns for hours. Since I'm only phone ill let you ask me about the rest.
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Video games , Watching sports

First, cool the rhetoric. Every proposal aimed at reducing firearm violence or regulating gun purchases is not an assault on the Second Amendment. President Obama is not coming after your guns. Alaska households will continue to be well-armed until the lion lies down with the lamb -- and even then, just in case.
On the other side of the gun debate, stop serving up discredited stats, like the oft-repeated claim that 40 percent of guns are bought from unlicensed dealers with no background checks. That 40 percent came from a dated, small-sample survey that FactCheck.org found is no longer defended even by one of the survey authors, and that Vice President Joe Biden cautioned against taking as gospel even as he was citing it.
Rumors of gun confiscation are the stuff of the lunatic fringe -- or certain members of the Alaska Legislature with their nullification nonsense.
Background checks and assault weapons bans are not magic solutions to gun violence in America.
But they are reasoned attempts to at least prevent some of the violence that wracks the nation.
Yes, we're a gun culture -- in some quarters, rabidly so. That zeal steals common sense, and has made rational discussion of gun control almost impossible.
We should think about this -- the bipartisan Senate compromise on expanding background checks championed by longtime NRA supporter Joe Manchin of West Virginia couldn't muster the 60 votes required to prohibit a filibuster. So the 54-vote majority simply wasn't enough to pass the measure, which would have included gun show and online sales in mandatory checks. And the debate? As Manchin said, the NRA flat-out lied about his bill. How do you have an honest debate when propaganda rules?
Our two senators voted against the measure. Sen. Mark Begich said it ran counter to Alaska values. What values? What value is violated by a criminal background check before allowing someone to buy a deadly weapon? The Second Amendment? That's protected, as the right of a law-abiding citizen remains protected even with expanded background checks.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski joined Begich in preferring a Republican proposal to strengthen current background checks with thorough screening for mental problems, crack down on gun trafficking and invest in mental health treatment.
These look more like half measures meant to create the illusion of a response to recent killings. And the calls of the NRA and other anti-gun-control forces for an investment in diagnosing and treating mental illness rings a little hollow, given the Republican inclination to cut funding for such programs, not invest more.
Prophecies of eroded rights and midnight raids to seize guns argue that background checks are a slippery slope. In truth, background checks -- and, yes, assault weapons bans and magazine limits -- are an attempt to keep the Second Amendment on the solid ground of reason and reality, and make it harder for the deranged to arm themselves.
The right to self-defense is fundamental; that's the rational basis for an interpretation of the Second Amendment that provides for the individual right to bear arms. But that right comes with tremendous responsibility, including a social responsibility to enact sane laws governing the exercise of those rights.
That's hard to do when lawmakers are afraid to cross the gun lobby with any suggestion of limits or regulation. The question shouldn't be what the gun lobby wants. The question should be how well proposed measures will work.
Our Sens. Murkowski and Begich are in an ideal -- and tough -- position to lead on this issue. Representing a state that's hard-nosed about its gun rights but not necessarily bone-headed about them, they can command attention and move the debate in ways the usual suspects can't.
Both might heed the words of former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, infuriated by the Senate's votes this weeks. Giffords, still recovering from a 2011 gunshot wound to the head, wrote in The New York Times:
"They looked at these most benign and practical of solutions, offered by moderates from each party, and then they looked over their shoulder at the powerful, shadowy gun lobby -- and brought shame on themselves and our government itself by choosing to do nothing.
"... They will try to hide their decision behind grand talk, behind willfully false accounts of what the bill might have done -- trust me, I know how politicians talk when they want to distract you -- but their decision was based on a misplaced sense of self-interest. I say misplaced, because to preserve their dignity and their legacy, they should have heeded the voices of their constituents ...
"Our democracy's history is littered with names we neither remember nor celebrate -- people who stood in the way of progress while protecting the powerful. On Wednesday, a number of senators voted to join that list."
This is an American challenge: balance a right to own deadly force with the responsibility to ensure domestic tranquility -- or, in plainer terms, prevent the massacre of children. It's hard work. Knee-jerk responses and fear of powerful lobbies are no help.
BOTTOM LINE: Gun debate is too important to let gun lobby control it.
