When was the last time someone offered you a gift of $750,000? If it hasn't happened to you, don't feel bad. It hasn't happened to me either. But if the offer were made, I'll bet very few of us would say, "Hmmm, I'll have to think about that." Yet that was essentially the response of the Waitsfield Select Board to the announcement that the town had been awarded a Community Development Block Grant in that amount toward construction of a new town office building on the Flemer Farm Stand site. According to The Valley Reporter, we are told that the board is still in the process of preparing a voter preference survey.
Because of its considerably higher costs, the Methodist Church is not an option that will gain broad taxpayer support, even if it were to qualify for a $750,000 grant. With the grant, the cost to taxpayers for a new town office at the Farm Stand site is $550,000. If a grant in the same amount were secured for the Methodist Church option, and this is a big if, the cost to taxpayers at that site would be $1,350,000. This figure is more than double the cost of the Farm Stand site and does not take into account the added borrowing costs over 20 years. The Methodist Church site fails the test of fiscal responsibility. Decisions are seldom made in a financial vacuum. Many taxpayers who support the idea of historic preservation, myself among them, find it impossible to endorse an option that is more than twice as expensive.
Just as is the case when buying a home, what we want is usually tempered by what we can afford. Too much mortgage often leads to trouble in meeting other expenses and obligations. The town of Waitsfield faces financial challenges down the road and to ensure that we can meet those challenges, it would be poor fiscal policy to spend an extra $800,000 on a town office (the case with the Methodist Church option) even if a $750,000 grant could be obtained.
We have the opportunity to build a new town office that will meet our needs for the foreseeable future and we have been given a gift that makes it affordable. We need to be careful not to look past a good solution in search of a perfect one. Whether or not the Farm Stand site is your first choice, at $550,000, it is more than a good solution; it is a very good solution that comes at a bargain price to Waitsfield taxpayers. Waitsfield needs a new town office and we need it now—before the next flood or septic system failure.
The select board's decision to delay a decision pending a survey likely means that construction costs on any option will rise as the economy continues to strengthen. As a corollary to a strengthening economy, borrowing costs, as reflected in bond rates, will also rise. We need to move forward expeditiously. There is an urgency to this issue which the select board does not seem to recognize.
At town meeting in February, voters turned down a $1.6 million bond article for new town offices at the Flemer Farm Stand site, I believe, because of the cost. I was one of those who voted against it. Now, this highly functional alternative has become an extremely affordable alterative and I am certain that many voters would reconsider at the new price of $550,000.
Opportunity is knocking. I believe Waitsfield taxpayers hear that knocking and will respond accordingly. They understand that we will not get a better deal than this. Ask the Waitsfield Select Board to bring the Flemer Farm Stand site before the voters at the new price of $550,000.

Thai Muang : Live Music
Just follow the music to find one of the many live music venues in Phuket.
Visitors might want to spend an evening at a local bar listening to Thai rock and roll bands that can be quite good. Several bars invite talented expats to perform and it's a great evening spent taking in some of the local talent on the island.
Phuket Town is home to several very popular Thai nightclubs with live nightly entertainment. Patrons can bring their own bottle and corkage is very reasonable. These venues start late and stay open late and can be lots of fun.

'Halo' Universe: Anniversary Edition Returns for Series 2
New Figures and Boxed Sets From Across the Entire 'Halo' Universe
Friday, October 21, 2011
For Halo fans, the tenth anniversary of Halo: Combat Evolved is a great opportunity to look back at how far their favorite game series has come. The anniversary has already brought us Halo Fest and an advance line of action figures, and a full line of figures with build-a-plaque is in stores now. It's all leading up to the big event: the release of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, on the exact date of Halo's tenth anniversary in November! With so much excitement around the anniversary, we couldn't stop at just one figure line… so we're bringing our Halo Universe: Anniversary Edition back for a second series!
Halo Anniversary Series 2 brings you more fan-favorites from across the Halo universe with an all-new five-figure lineup, a new build-a-figure item, and a new figure multipack! Which characters are joining the celebration this time? Read on for all the details...
Build-a-Figure Item
UNSC Logo (Halo series)
Halo Anniversary Series 1 introduced our first Halo "build-a-figure" item, and Series 2 continues the trend with another unique bonus for collectors. Like last time, each figure comes with one of five pieces that can be combined to form an extra item to display with your Halo figure collection. For Series 2, that item is another iconic symbol that has been featured in every Halo video game: a 3D version of the logo of the United Nations Space Command. This distinctive military emblem consists of a stylized eagle with its wings spread, perching on a globe with a rippling banner -- and can only be created by collecting all five of the individual figures in Halo Anniversary Series 2.
Individual Carded Figures
"The Package" Master Chief (Halo Legends)
We couldn't have a Halo Anniversary celebration without including the man who started it all: Master Chief himself. This all-new version of John-117 shows the hero as he appeared in the 2010 animated movie, Halo Legends, and is our first figure inspired by the Halo "expanded universe" of animation, novels, and comic books. To truly capture Master Chief as he appeared in "The Package" chapter of Halo Legends, we've created an all-new sculpt that features a slightly more animated style, and updated paint that includes the distinctive white stripes and numbering as seen only in this thrilling adventure. Figure comes with Assault Rifle, Frag Grenade, and the globe piece of the UNSC Logo.
Captain Jacob Keyes (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)
Our first UNSC officer figure is the first person players ever see in the original Halo video game: the commanding officer of the Pillar of Autumn, Captain Jacob Keyes. This all-new figure features Keyes as he appears in this fall's Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, in sharp gray military uniform. Figure comes with the fan-favorite Magnum pistol and the banner piece of the UNSC Logo.
Spartan Mark VI (white/blue) (Halo 2)
Back in Halo 2, before the addition of armor permutations, Master Chief's MJOLNIR Mark VI armor was the basis for all multiplayer Spartans. Our first Halo 2 multiplayer Spartan action figure takes collectors back to those days -- when about all you could do to customize yourself in matchmaking was change your primary and secondary armor color. Our multiplayer Spartan Mark VI features bright white armor with cool blue accents and comes equipped with the ever-popular Battle Rifle, a Frag Grenade, and the left wing piece of the UNSC Logo.
Sentinel and Guilty Spark (Halo 3)
The legacy of the most technologically advanced species in the Halo games, the Forerunners, can be seen in everywhere you turn -- from the Hal array, to The Ark, to the curious robotic constructs they left behind to monitor and protect their installations. Halo Anniversary Series 2 brings a pair of these ancient machines to your collection: 343 Guilty Spark and a Sentinel.
Our massive Sentinel action figure features articulated appendages and weaponry, while Guilty Spark features a reversible eye that can be changed from blue to red. Is it a sign of justified aggression, or a symptom of AI rampancy? Figures include a base and poles so they can hover near your Flood figures, or assist any potential Reclaimers. Figures also come with the right wing piece of the UNSC Logo.
Mickey (Halo 3: ODST)
The demolitions expert and pilot of Buck's ODST squad joins our action figure lineup: Private First Class Michael Crespo, better known as "Mickey." This new figure, clad in black ODST armor with red accents, is in scale with our previous Halo 3: ODST figures, so Mickey won't look out of place with his teammates. Figure comes with Mickey's signature weapon, the Rocket Launcher. Mickey also comes with the eagle body piece of the UNSC Logo.
Boxed 3-Packs
Spirit of Fire Red Team (Halo Wars)
This special Halo Wars boxed set features three heroic Spartan-IIs: Jerome, Douglas, and Alice, collectively known as Red Team. This trio of super-soldiers fought alongside the crew of the Spirit of Fire, defending them from the dangers encountered on Shield 0459. Our Red Team 3-pack brings back the leader, Jerome-092, and completes the team with two never-before-released figures of Douglas-042 and Alice-130. Each includes some serious firepower to help them carry out their mission: Jerome comes with a Spartan Laser, Alice comes with dual SMGs, and Douglas comes with a Shotgun. One Spartan is a force to be reckoned with, but a coordinated team of them is virtually unstoppable. Go back to 2531, before the fall of Reach, and get the complete Red Team, all in one box!
Halo Universe: Anniversary Edition Series 2 charges into stores in March 2012.

Comments about 12 in. Dovetail Jig:
Purchased this unit to make dovetail joints in the drawers of a bathroom vanity I was building. Directions were clear and simple and with a couple of practice trys I was able to make perfect dovetail joints. Unit needs to be mounted for use but rather than bolting it down I used 2 C-clamps with good success. Mounting holes are provided if you have the spot to mount it. I am very pleased with the jig and plan on purchasing the additinal templates to do through and mini dovetails.

Best Uses
Comments about 12 in. Dovetail Jig:
Have always wanted to add this to my workshop and now I wish I had done it years earlier. Can't believe how easy it is to use and what a great job it does. It is well constructed and nice and solid. No problem with equipment. Major problem was trying to disseminate the manual of setup directions! They definitely could be improved, especially when it comes to explaining the function and use of the clamping handles. But the tool itself is definitely worth the investment.

Q:Does this dovetail jig come with the necessary guide bushings? Can it work with 1/4" router and router bit?
2 answers
A:No, the guide bushings are not included with this jig. Since 1/2" shank bits are stronger and are much less prone to deflection than the 1/4" shank bits, Porter Cable recommends that you use the 1/2" shank bits with the 4210 dovetail jigs.
A:Yes it can work with a 1/4" router and router bit but it only comes with a template guide. There are other templates available for purchase.
Q:Does this product work with the Dewalt router model #618?
1 answer
A:any router can be used.

Newbies, Post in Welcome Central to open up the boards

Well, personally, I don't believe in dabbling in it, because it is too close to the sin of necromancy for my taste. However, from what GOD has done with me, I know the soul lives on, and that is the will, mind, emotions, and desires. What I wonder is if some of these claiming to be relatives are in fact the demonic spirits, impersonating the relatives for the purpose of getting people to commit that sin? The fortune tellers do the same thing; the genuine ones get assistance from familiar spirits, and they tell people just exactly what they want to hear and from what supposed relative. I saw this with my own eyes before I came to the Lord and some friends talked me into going to several of them. I didn't believe in it, but thought it was curious as to why they did. Wasn't long before I found out. Thank You Father for keeping me from the destruction! This is my Blessings to you........
Ghost? It's hard for me to accept ghost as being anything human. The bible speaks of the total opposite! Now as for evil spirits pretending to be human souls, that may be the real question?Paul
Yeah Cardinal.....it might be the same principle that we find in this saying of Jesus.For it shall be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.He who is nothing passes through with ease -- he who won't give up his baggage gets stuck at the entrance.Just personal spiritual hygiene.Reminds me of how I learned that certain Indian tribes used to ritualy burn all their possesions every so often as a way of cleansing. Perhaps this is symbolic of what takes place spiritualy to us as we pass through the next life........IMO we each carry around a lot of emotional baggage too....baggage that we are going to have to leave at the entrance as well.Makes me think about what Lot's wife went through.

Junior roller derby team forms in ToledoWritten by Kevin Moore | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Toledo is a city that loves its hometown sports. Joining the Glass City's professional and numerous amateur teams is the Frogtown Fallgirls, Toledo's first ever junior roller derby team.
The team is set to host its first home game, or "bout," on Dec. 14.
With its roots the 1930s, roller derby is a relatively young sport that grew out of the pushing and shoving among competitors in roller skating endurance races in the 1920s. By the late '40s, it was popular enough to be televised, with the 1950 National Roller Derby League playoffs selling out Madison Square Garden. Over the last several decades, roller derby has become more of an underground and intramural sport, most popular among women.
Toledo Junior Roller Derby (TJRD), for whom the Fallgirls play, is a newly-formed nonprofit roller derby organization open to girls ages 10-17. The group welcomes girls who are new to the sport of roller derby as well as those with years of experience.
Shelby Clauson, TJRD's president and founder, was eager to get her teenage daughters involved in roller derby after playing the sport herself for several years.
"We are the first and only flat track junior derby organization in Toledo," she said. "We're independent, which means our skaters have more freedom to form teams. We only have one team [the Fallgirls] right now, but we're built for growth and hope to have as many as we can hold."
Clauson and TJRD vice president Franc Bialecki began organizing a team in the spring and had their first practice in April.
"I have two girls on the team as well," Bialecki said. "They got into skating, and I heard about the team starting. I took them to the first meet and greet, and I've been amazed at how well they've taken to it."
Both Clauson and Bialecki serve as assistant coaches for the Fallgirls alongside the team's head coach, Terryann Matney, a veteran of the Floral City Roller Girls of Monroe. TJRD is part of the Great Lakes region of the Junior Roller Derby Association and will play one bout per month against teams across the area.
The group has partnered with two organizations to give them space for practices and bouts, the International Boxing Club (IBC) in Oregon and a secondary location at Common Space II in Toledo.
"We needed a place big enough to set up a track, and IBC was a good fit. They have the room and share our values of discipline, working hard and getting kids off the streets with activities," Clauson said. TJRD is also currently looking for sponsors for the Frogtown Fallgirls, whose mascot is "Fear the Frog," for this and future seasons.
Roller derby can at times be a rough and tumble contact sport with points awarded each time a team's "jammer" can skate past the moving wall of the other team's players as they skate around the track. As a result, TJRD's roller girls wear full protection — helmets, elbow pads, knee pads, and wrist guards — and are not permitted to join the team until they can bring themselves to a stop and fall properly.
"Roller derby is fast and it's fun," Clauson said. "Our girls love it. This sport gives them the opportunity to meet like-minded friends, gain acceptance and a way to let out aggression. I've had parents explain to me that their kids had nothing to do when they were done with school sports. Roller derby is something they want to do all the time, and they can work on their skating skills at their local roller rink even when we're not practicing."
"Roller derby isn't a sport, it's a way of life," Bialecki added. "There's something electric about this sport that draws kids and parents in. It builds teamwork, sisterhood and good sportsmanship. We promote anti-bullying, which is a big issue for this age group. We also do things outside of practice as a team like go to the Mud Hens games and we recently took part in the Maumee Holiday Lights Parade. There is a strong culture here."
As part of that culture, roller derby has a longstanding tradition where roller girls adopt a "derby name" as a rite of passage when they first join a team. This practice is doubly important for TJRD, as it both gives the players a sense of identity and pride as well as protects their anonymity as minors for sporting events and media coverage. The children of the Fallgirls' coaching team have all created their own derby names for the track: Clauson's girls are "Owl Getchu" and "Check Meow," Bialecki's are "Starry Skyes" and "Raine Storm" and Matney's goes by "Poundcake."
The Fallgirls, who currently have a roster of 17 girls, have a revolving enrollment, and Clauson and Bialecki said it is not too late to join for the 2013-14 season. Practices are held twice a week. Even boys, who scrimmage with the rest of the team and participate in bouts as referees, are welcome to join.
The Frogtown Fallgirls' season opener will be held at 4 p.m. Dec. 14 at IBC, 525 Earlwood Ave. in Oregon. General admission is $5 and children under 10 are free.

In delivering a film about a garden snail that dreams of winning the Indy 500, it's as if the makers of "Turbo" had been pressed to come up with the most extreme underdog tale they could think of.
Movie review
3 (out of five stars)
Director: David Soren
Cast: The voices of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Pena, Luis Guzman, Bill Hader, Snoop Lion, Maya Rudolph, Ken Jeong
Rated: PG for some mild action and thematic elements
Running time: 1 hour, 36 minutes
Or else animators really are running out of ideas for original new characters. An attractively designed but narratively challenged, one-note film, "Turbo" skews younger than the norm for big animated features these days and has limited appeal for little girls.
"The sooner you accept the dull, miserable nature of your existence, the happier you'll be," worldly-wise snail Chet (Paul Giamatti) advises his younger brother Turbo (Ryan Reynolds) after yet another day scouring a garden tomato patch. Turbo spends all his downtime watching VHS tapes of professional car races, especially the many won by his hero, Guy Gagne (Bill Hader, amusingly assuming a French-Canadian accent).
Of course, the message of the film, as with so many other kid-inspirational cartoons and other fantasies, is that no dream is too big, you can do anything if you set your mind to it, etc., etc.
Unfortunately, the real embedded lesson of Turbo is that, if you're too small or weak or otherwise incapable of greatness, you have a shot to win if you're juiced.
Which is what happens late one night when Turbo, coming upon a "Fast & Furious"-style drag race in the dry LA River bed, gets sucked into an engine. Instead of being toasted, however, the little guy becomes infused with nitrous oxide, enabling him to zoom along the ground seemingly as fast as Superman shoots through the skies.
Ahhh, the wonders of chemicals and strength enhancers.
Of course, Turbo needs a sponsor, which he finds in the form of Van Nuys taco truck driver Tito (Michael Pena), a wild dreamer himself who argues endlessly with his more practical brother Angelo (Luis Guzman) about the merits of promoting their forlorn business Dos Bros Tacos with a snail.
Joining in is a rainbow coalition of smart-mouthed supporting snails and neighboring business owners voiced by the eminent likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Michelle Rodriguez, Snoop Lion, Maya Rudolph, Ben Schwartz, Richard Jenkins and Ken Jeong.
The ultimate destination, Indianapolis, is inevitable but it takes a long time to get there, given a script that is short on invention and long on largely unfunny yacking.
Once the gang arrives and begins overcoming the obstacles that might prevent a snail from entering a car race (conveniently unmentioned is the most obvious one, that Turbo lacks four wheels and an engine), the hitherto genial Guy Gagne suddenly becomes a villain, feeling so threatened by the now-mighty mollusk that he goes to all lengths to prevent an eternally humiliating defeat.
In the run-up to the race and then during it, you mostly wonder about how a critter so small it can't be seen on the track (although its blue/white-hot streak can be) will avoid being crunched by the giant tires of the humans' racing machines; indeed, the film's most irreverent merit is that it is periodically honest about the fate of snails by casually showing them getting squashed by humans or gobbled up by animals, especially crows.
In the event, Turbo just zips through traffic as if in an obstacle course, the obvious longshot pipsqueak favorite in a field of giants.

Sapp was arrested Feb. 6 by Gray Police Officer Jacob Hunnicutt, who was responding to a call pertaining to an unruly customer at a local convenience store. The defendant was a passenger in the car driven by Casey Marie Ploof, who was also arrested.
Sapp was represented in the April 18 bond hearing by attorney Jeffrey Banks, who told the court that his client has entered drug court that requires a drug test twice a week and is doing well.
He asked his client be released on bond on the condition that he stays in drug court. Banks said Sapp has not missed attending the court in six weeks.
Assistant District Attorney Gregory Bushway said Sapp was out on bond at the time of his most recent arrest. The prosecutor said the defendant punched a jailer in the face after he was seen putting a plastic bag in his mouth during a search.

Chris Wondolowski's game-winning volley against Kansas City is nominated for MLS Goal of the Week. The San Jose striker benefited from a perfectly placed cross by recent signing Khari Stephenson before slamming home the lone goal of Saturday's match.
Wondolowski is the only Quakes player to win MLS Goal of the Week in 2010. He took home honors after a wünder-strike to beat the Colorado Rapids, 1-0, in Week 6.
Saturday's goal broke a seven-match goaless streak for San Jose's leading scorer. Wondolowski has tallied seven times this season.

How difficult is it to put together an AR rifle? I've never played with one to any real degree, and the Colt A1 kits Apex has atm are exactly what I'm looking for... But, I dunno if I can handle an AR build; I built my Romy G in the garage using screws in place of rivets, and a lowrider pickup as a pin press. I don't think that sort of thing will fly with an AR. X)
Anyways, I'd be more than happy to send-off the upper and new barrel and such to a well-respected Gunco Gunsmith to install all the little things I have to drill pin holes or what-not for. Also, the new barrel will need parkerizing by hopefully the same user... All said and done, I should break about even on the build, but that also includes the satisfaction of building most of it myself in the garage...
But ya, what all does it take to put an AR kit together? Anyone got any good info links? Maybe pics of A1 builds?

Arses rejoice.
There's a truism that the harder you ride, the harder you want your saddle to be. Ride an exercise bike at 60rpm and 40% of your max heart in the gym while reading genre fiction and you'll want a la-z-boy disguised as an overstuffed saddle. Storm up a mountain at your threshold power while sucking down all the oxygen your body can find and you'll want something light and stiff, something that holds you in place without getting in your way. That's what the Fizik Antares 00 Wingflex Braided Carbon Saddle gives.
While the braided carbon fiber rails underneath this saddle are obvious, and they offer a nice weight savings, that's not what this saddle is really about. It's about the carbon fiber shell. It's actually two layers of carbon-fiber sandwiching a thin layer of foam. This provides great support while allowing appreciable flex at the edges. Along with the WingFlex technology, this means that the sides of the saddle will move with your legs while the top will remain rigid.
The shell is stiff. That doesn't mean it's lacking in cushion. There is 10mm of padding at the nose, where the typical Fizik has only 3mm. It's great for people who ride aerobars or on the drops regularly, or for folks who have a not-insubstantial saddle-to-bar drop. And the saddle is fairly wide at the nose, 45mm, where other saddles are barely over 40mm. The Antares 00 also employs a new super-light, high-density foam that feels effectively like 3.7 times the padding of similarly-thick padding on other saddles. All of this makes the saddle great for those who find themselves sitting harder or deeper on their saddle to the point that a traditional racing saddle isn't comfortable.
Let's revisit the rails for a moment. They make for a 30g savings, which equates to 20% of the saddle's overall weight. Not shabby. The rails are made from braided carbon and then wrapped with another layer of carbon fiber cloth for even greater durability as well as having a rough surface for easy clamping. Another design feature for adding strength to the rails is the oval shaping -- 9mm tall by 7mm wide. People ask if carbon rails are durable enough for regular riding. Geoff Kabush, the estimable Canadian mountain biker who's one of the best North American performers on the international MTB circuit, has been using Fizik braided carbon rails for years without a problem.
The Fizik Antares 00 Wingflex Braided Carbon Saddle comes in Black or White and is 274mm long and 142mm at the widest point.
Please Note: The Carbon WingFlex shell on this saddle is not compatible with Fizik's ICS lights and saddle bags.

The Best Saddle for Form & Function
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I rate the Fizik Antares 00 as one of the best saddles in both form and function. Just on aesthetics alone, it stands above 99% or more of the crowd, all while including an excellent balance between performance and comfort. The fact that it's so damn light is icing on the cake with almost no saddle any lighter that comes anywhere near the comfort level of this beast.
Part of the lightness does indeed come from the lack of Fizik's ICS system as mentioned above. I have a number of Fizik saddles and will say it's a nifty attachment system if you go for that kind of thing. I personally am not a fan of saddle bags on high performance bikes and prefer just carrying extras in jersey within something like the Mann Bag. The light attachment is pretty cool though something like the Thunderbolt from Serfas provides an even better solution, in my view.
The only real negative to the Antares 00 is the uber sharp edges that do not welcome a single botched move such as leaning against a wall and pulling off or letting it graze ANYTHING. You'll have a tear of that fine edge before you know it. But if you're careful with your ride and make sure you never lean on saddle, it's not an issue. Besides, most of the top saddle tend to be rather fragile on the edges.
By the way, if you DO want this ICS system, you can simply move down to the Fizik Antares R1 with braided rails, this only 20g heavier than the 00, coming in at @155g. See the comparison graphic I cobbled together below, this a view of the underside of the R1 vs the 00. The top of the 00 wins out as it seems stiffer and with less going on, eschewing the multiple panels that seem to pervade much of the rest of the Fizik lineup.

What is "ICS Compatible"?
What is "ICS Compatible"?
Damon Salter
No ICS on the carbon Antares.
ICS is Fizik's proprietary system for saddlebags and lights that allows you to clip the accessory into a recess at the back of the saddle. It eliminates the need for velcro around the rails to attach saddlebags and is awesome. Install/removal takes literally 1 second and it sits higher up under the saddle for a cleaner look (and better airflow?). I've loved every minute of it for three years. Unfortunately, this saddle does not have that system.

1 Level Free! Are "Lite" iPhone Games an App Store Deal or a Dud?
One of the highest profile iPhone games to state, EA's Spore, retails on the iTunes App Store for $9.99. Now, however, you can also get a "free" version, Spore Origins Lite Edition (iTunes link). The catch? It's teaser consisting of 1 level. Since Apple doesn't (yet?) have a model for demoing apps ("try" instead of "buy"), it's likely the only thing developers can do to give potential buyers a real preview. They hope, after one or a short number of levels, you'll be hooked enough to pony up the bucks for the full blown version.
How's this working? Well, Spore Origins Lite is not in the iTunes App Store Top 10... Pac Man Lite, which uses the same model, sits at number 5 in the free listings as of this posting, but it's full blown counterpart in nowhere to be found among the top 100 paid Apps.
What does this tell us? That people would rather pay nothing for a Lite edition than something for a full game? Or is it simply that the whole App ranking mechanism still broken?
Have you downloaded any free "Lite" Apps? And if so, how many have convinced you to move on up to the full version?

1 Level Free! Are "Lite" iPhone Games an App Store Deal or a Dud?
Good idea in theory, but when it actually comes to playability, the "lite" versions aren't that great of a deal because they always seem to lack the certain amount of functionality needed to make an educated decision about purchasing the app/game. Hopefully this will change in the future.
I've bought quite a few full versions based on the free lite versions. Having this option helps weed out apps that look great but are either duds or just impossible. It would be great if all apps had either lite versions or a try before you buy option. Then I wouldn't have to fork out loads of money for not so good apps (like Star Wars which was pretty pricey for what it did).
I have tried lite versions of a game, and then enjoyed it and bought the full version. What I don't like is a lite version that is $.99, then the full version costs more.
If there was a "try" option, no doubt it would try to get hacked pretty quickly, so I doubt Apple would want to do that.
I bought several apps I tried on lite mode (for example Sudoku type games, Mahjong type games, solitaire, etd...). I also tried Labyrinth, and not buy yet... It is nice, but I am still waiting. :-)
Also I am afraid, when I am going to buy expansive program or game with no ability to try it (programs in producitivity, etc...), Sometimes I bought some app and it does not fit (for example Car Care, iDiary, Battle At Sea...),
I hope in the future we would see another apps, not only the games in light mode to try them before shopping.
What is the point of limiting apps to only one country? Sometimes it may be necessary, but why can't I download Spore Origins Lite because I'm in the UK, why should we be forced to use the £5.99 full version when everyone in america gets a lite edition for free? It's quite annoying how many americans don't acknowledge countries outside of america. [/rant]
I prefer the lite editions of apps as I can not yet get a credit card, so I can't get a full version of an app, but I personally would not like to see trial versions replace lite versions as then you would get a time limit - whethere you use it or not - for a certain period, which I find to be worse than a less featured app. If developers rovided trials and lite editions then that would be ok, but I doubt that would happen.
@ Will and Kenika, I live in South Africa, I can't even buy music from iTunes let alone games our any of the cool / usefull apps. I feel your pain ... I have five iPods including my iPhone 3G and I've been and Apple supporter for three years now and this is the type of service that they provide us with, what's up with that. My only other option now is to deactivate my current account and re register under my buddies address in LA, USA. I realy want to keep all my systems legal and above board but Apple is leaving me no other option ....
while I have used a few "lite" versions of apps to evaluate them prior to purchase, overall, I find them quote annoying. While the apps themselves may be useful, in this sense, they fill the free section of the app store with unnecessary clutter. What fraction of the app stores touted "25% free" applications are just advertising in disguise?
I'm not especially price-sensitive when I'm buying Apps. If the App looks interesting, I'll buy it -- a few dollars difference between a trial version and a full version doesn't make much difference to me. What's been more troubling is there seems to be little relationship between App price and quality, whether the App carries an introductory price or not. The market is still very much shaking itself out.

Adventure Team Challenge
Inclusive Team Challenges for Exceptional Athletes
The Adventure Team Challenge Changes Lives through Team Competition and Cooperation
From Colorado to New York, the Adventure Team Challenge from World T.E.A.M. Sports is a series of outdoor adventure events that bring together teams of athletes with disabilities with able-bodied athletes.
Challenge events in Colorado, North Carolina, New York and suburban Washington D.C. offer participants opportunities to experience outdoor sports. For many exceptional athletes with disabilities, participating in a team challenge offers a chance to explore our natural world, from paddling on lakes and rivers to hiking and biking through deep woods to climbing high mountains and jagged rocks. The Adventure Team Challenge inspires.
In September 2015, Experience the Thrill of Colorado's Adventure Team Challenge
Get ready for the adventure of your lifetime. This September 18-20, 2015, the Adventure Team Challenge Colorado will return. Created and managed by the non-profit World T.E.A.M. Sports, the Adventure Team Challenge in Colorado's rugged and wild Gore Range north of Eagle brings together disabled and able-bodied athletes for three days of spirited team competition. Directed by experienced adventure athletes, participants in the Challenge can expect rafting, hiking, mountain biking, climbing, and other exciting outdoor activities, along with good fellowship, food and tent camping underneath the brilliant Milky Way of the high Rocky Mountains.
Challenge teams compete mostly against the clock in this event, as finishing all stages is an accomplishment in itself. There is also pride in claiming the title as the Adventure Team Challenge champion by finishing the stages in the shortest time. Along the way, participants are challenged both physically and mentally, and learn that innovation and teamwork are the keys to success.
Debuting in 2007 as the Real Deal Inclusive Sports Adventure, the 2014 Adventure Team Challenge was presented by Pearl Meyer & Partners. It inspired and challenged athletes of all abilities. With each team of five including two athletes with disabilities, one being a wheelchair user, the Challenge provided an opportunity for competitors to work together toward shared goals and rewards.
Since the first Challenge in June 2007, each Challenge has been hosted in Colorado. The 2007-2011 and 2014 Challenges were held in the high mountains near Rancho del Rio along the Colorado River north of Eagle and south of Leadville along the Arkansas River. In 2012 and 2013, the Challenge was held in the scenic McInnis Canyon National Conservation Area west of Grand Junction.
In its ninth year of competition, the 2015 Challenge will provide participants with new challenges in the secluded and beautiful peaks and canyons of metamorphic schist and gneiss of Colorado's high Park Range. Seasoned adventure athletes, weekend warriors and desk jockeys desiring adventure will be tested at altitudes up to 8,000 feet above sea level. Teammates will need to join together to innovate and solve problems through tackling physical challenges to successfully complete this wilderness course. Participants will build camaraderie and celebrate diversity, cheering each other as they successfully negotiate each obstacle. Magnificent mountain terrain, dark and forbidding canyons, icy snow-fed rivers and inspiring competitors will create an unforgettable experience for all participants.

The Adventure Team Challenge New York Challenges Young Developmentally-Disabled Adults
World T.E.A.M. Sports' inclusive Adventure Team Challenge at Frost Valley, New York September 11-13, 2015 will engage developmentally disabled teens and young adults from New York and New Jersey in an epic weekend of competitive team sporting events.
Sponsored by American Portfolios Financial Services Inc. and The Center for Discovery, this inclusive Challenge will provide an opportunity for the developmentally disabled to solve sporting challenges. Each participating team will work together to successfully complete each stage of the multisport event to cross the finish line together. Held at the Frost Valley YMCA in Claryville, New York, the participating teams in the Challenge will include four athletes with disabilities with six to eight able-bodied coaches. Through inclusive competition, disabled participants will build confidence and serve as a role model for others, as well as inspiring all competitors and spectators.
The September 2014 Adventure Team Challenge New York began with a Relay-Obstacle Course Challenge and a campfire under the stars. The following day, participants were shuttled to Morningside Park for a Regatta Challenge in rowboats while those that remain on site will participate in the Track & Field Challenge with bicycles, running, hurdles and other activities. The day finished off with a puzzling Orienteering Challenge and an awards ceremony for all athletes.
Since the inaugural Challenge in 2010, 20 developmentally disabled athletes from The Center for Discovery have participated each year.
"When you have the opportunity to spend two or three days with the exceptional athlete in a World T.E.A.M. event, you look beyond the wheelchair, beyond their physical and emotional challenges, and see the human being looking right back at you," said the Challenge organizer Lon Dolber, the CEO and President of American Portfolios. "You recognize all that is possible within yourself."

Adventure Team Challenge Washington DC Brings Adventure to the City
For participants of the Adventure Team Challenge Washington DC, outside adventure is just outside the city. In the 2011, 2013 and 2014 DC Challenges, developmentally-disabled children traveled to the scenic Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park along the Potomac River, just west of Washington. Here, the teens were matched with able-bodied athletes who provided assistance and support in activities that included canoeing, mountain biking and hiking.
Participants will again take to the trails and the canal of the National Historical Park in the 2016 Adventure Team Challenge Washington DC.

– Sgt. Neil Duncan, double-leg-amputee, team participant.
"The ATC gives people the inspiration to achieve, no matter what the obstacles are, and to live life no matter what. It shows others what can be done and gives them the confidence to do the unthinkable. This confidence and inspiration is not just for the disabled, but even more so for all of us."
– Nino Pozgaj, 2010-11 team participant, Alteryx.
"I have been fascinated by adventure sports, but in a wheelchair, it didn't seem likely that I could ever participate. The Real Deal was beyond my wildest dreams. It was amazing to see an event absolutely integrated, with able-bodied and people with different disabilities and everyone working together seamlessly. It gave a whole new meaning to the word teamwork. It forced me to reframe things I've learned. I didn't want to be pushed or pulled on my mountain bike. But, I realized that the smart teams worked together on the uphills, with a tandem bike pulling a hand bike. My pride was costing me and my team time. It was a complete, and welcome paradigm shift in my thinking. We all got a chance to be real. It was magic."
– Bob Vogel, freelance journalist, photographer, professional ski instructor, disabled athlete and team participant about the 2008 Real Deal, precursor to the Adventure Team Challenge.
"The beauty of adventure racing is that there are no superstars; everyone on the team plays an integral role and has to cross the finish line together. Everybody has moments when they suffer and are in pain, moments when they need help to keep going, and moments when they shine. The best teams are those which can tap into the talents of each member and find a collective team strength which becomes bigger than its parts."
– Erik Weihenmayer, blind adventurer, team participant, 2007-2012.
A New Champion at the 2013 Adventure Team Challenge Colorado
The high Colorado Plateau west of Grand Junction served as the site for the 2013 Adventure Team Challenge, held in mid-September.
With the Lumber Liquidators team sitting out the competition in 2013, the race was wide open for a new champion. The Boulder, Colorado-based Benson Botsford Berserkers accepted the challenge, having had a strong finish in 2012. In their third year of competition, the Berserkers took control of the Challenge during the Prologue and never looked back.
For many of the teams participating in the Challenge, simply finishing was an accomplishment worth celebrating. Learning to work with one another, utilizing unique skills and the available tools to successfully find the route and conquer challenges, all finished.

Lumber Liquidators Again Champions at the 2012 Adventure Team Challenge Colorado
The Adventure Team Challenge returned May 18-20, 2012 in the spectacular red rock canyons west of Grand Junction, Colorado. Presented by Alteryx, the 2012 event featured the same exciting and inspiring competition as in past events, but in an all-new high desert environment.
Featuring two military teams and the event's first all-woman team, the 2012 Challenge included five athletes per team, of which two were disabled. One member in each of the teams was a wheelchair user, requiring teammates to pull, push, carry and assist the athlete through a rugged course featuring mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, orienteering, climbing and rappelling.
For Denver-based Team Lumber Liquidators, the unfamiliar terrain and various challenges – including roping with a lasso and fixing a flat – provided small margin for error. At the end of the three day event, the winning team had only a 61 minute lead on their closest competitor, the first-year Team Fire Strategies, a team of firefighters based in Colorado Springs.
Sponsored by Alteryx, a software development and services company headquartered in Irvine, California, the Challenge provided an opportunity for participating teams to work together and creatively solve challenges and problems through cooperation and support. In each participating team, the skills and determination of the disabled athletes usually provided the key in clearing a challenge. This included blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer, of Team Lumber Liquidators, who successfully solo climbed a difficult sandstone rock with a top rope. With his team mates guiding him on from below, Erik's ascent was one of the highlights of the Challenge.
For all of the participating teams, however, simply finishing the Challenge was a success. Exploring the red sandstone high desert of the region, rafting the Colorado River, and participating in group meals at the Bureau of Land Management's Rabbit Valley campsite, individual athletes experienced the benefits of working together as teams and overcoming adversity. Able-bodied participants were inspired by their disabled colleagues, and those athletes with disabilities showed themselves that they can excel in a competitive wilderness adventure.
In a weekend bracketed by a stinging desert sandstorm and a solar eclipse, the participants of the sixth annual Adventure Team Challenge learned that by using ingenuity, cooperation and hard work that the ultimate team adventure can be successfully met by all competitors.
Rancho del Rio Hosts the 2011 Adventure Team Challenge Colorado
The 2011 Adventure Team Challenge Colorado, presented by Alteryx, was a powerful event. A three-day, multisport adventure race along the Colorado River near scenic Eagle, Colorado, the Adventure Team Challenge Colorado teamed able-bodied with disabled athletes to mountain bike, white-water raft, run, zip line, climb and rappel, while navigating the rugged high country wilderness.
Building on the success of previous challenges, the 2011 course was not for the faint of heart. From seasoned adventure athletes to weekend warriors and desk jockeys desiring adventure, this race was designed to challenge and to excite. Participants joined with their teammates to compete in the ultimate team adventure. They met challenges, built camaraderie and celebrated diversity by working together to overcome obstacles. Magnificent terrain, big mountains, icy water and inspiring competitors provided an event that will be long remembered.
At the end, the Lumber Liquidators team held off all challengers for their third consecutive championship. Though the team failed to win the second stage of the challenge – being defeated in an exciting rafting finish – they had built a significant lead on the first stage to claim the championship. All teams completed the challenge, an incredible accomplishment.
Exploring the Arkansas River Valley at the 2010 Adventure Team Challenge Colorado
In June 2010, Leadville, Colorado hosted World T.E.A.M. Sports' Adventure Team Challenge Colorado. The most exciting to date with only 29 minutes separating the top three teams following two full days of competition, the 2010 Challenge offered new challenges requiring innovation and cooperation. The defending champion, Team Lumber Liquidators, found the new course challenging, and led by only six minutes after the first day.
Many competing teams focused on overtaking Team Lumber Liquidators on the second day. The participants awoke Sunday to perfect, sunny skies, cool temperatures and intense competition by determined teams. The zip line was dramatic, the mountain biking along an abandoned 19th century stagecoach trail was difficult enough that carrying bikes was a frequent choice, and the Arkansas River was fast, cold and huge. When everyone reached the final river crossing and the final bike stage, the finish line was a welcome sight.
In the end, the Lumber Liquidators team of Sarah Will, Erik Weihenmayer, Rob Harsh, Skyler Williams & Scott Swaney successfully defended their 2009 title just 24 minutes ahead of TEAM Cisco, and 29 minutes before TEAM Alteryx, a first-year team.

Through the eyes of a 4-year-old pre-kindergarten student, the straight lines and loops of American letters start to mean something. Now local educators are seizing this narrow window of language development to immerse kids in Spanish and introduce them to Mandarin Chinese.
Twenty pre-K students at Hall County's World Language Academy are among only a handful of 4-year-olds in the Western Hemisphere who spend 80 percent of their school day communicating with teachers in Spanish, 10 percent of the day communicating in English and 10 percent of their day learning Mandarin Chinese.
Kids aren't the only ones learning languages in local schools.
Parents also are enrolling in English or Spanish classes at the World Language Academy.

USDA Issues Notice Extending the Dairy Forward Pricing Program
AMS No. 011-13
Sam Jones-Ellard (202) 660-2268
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 2013 The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued a notice extending the Dairy Forward Pricing Program to allow producers and cooperative associations to enter into forward price contracts under the program through Sept. 30, 2013.
The notice, which becomes effective on Feb. 1, 2013, also extends all other program requirements outlined in the programs Oct. 31, 2008, Final Rule until Sept. 30, 2013.
The Dairy Forward Pricing Program allows producers and producer cooperative associations to voluntarily enter into forward price contracts with handlers for milk under the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937. The 2008 Farm Bill initially prohibited new forward contracts from being entered into after Sept. 30, 2012, and allowed no forward contracts to extend beyond Sept. 30, 2015.
The passage of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, signed into law on Jan. 2, 2013, revised the program to allow new contracts to be entered into until Sept. 30, 2013. Any forward contracts entered into until the deadline on Sept. 30, 2013, are still subject to the Sept. 30, 2015, cutoff date.
The notice will be published in the Feb. 1, 2013,

In 2010, Jim Parsons won an Emmy Award for "Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series," and in 2011 he won the Golden Globe Award for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Comedy or Musical," for his portrayal of Sheldon Cooper on THE BIG BANG THEORY. His performance also earned him a People's Choice nomination for "Favorite TV Comedy Actor" and the 2010 NAB Television Chairman's Award, which honors significant breakthroughs in television. Parsons was nominated for the TCA Award for "Individual Achievement in Comedy" two years in a row (2009 and 2010), and won the award in 2009. Recently, he received a nomination for "Best Actor in a Comedy Series" by the Broadcast Television Journalists Association for its very first Critics' Choice Television Awards.
In 2011, Parsons received a Theatre World Award for his debut Broadway performance as Tommy Boatwright in the Tony Award-winning revival of "The Normal Heart," starring opposite Ellen Barkin, John Benjamin Hickey and Joe Mantello. "The Normal Heart" was also presented with the Drama Desk Award for "Outstanding Revival of a Play" and "Outstanding Ensemble Performance." A critical sensation, the show also received nominations from The Outer Critics Circle for "Outstanding Revival of a Play," as well as five Tony Award nominations. The play ended its 12-week run at the Golden Theatre on July 10. Parsons' additional stage credits include "The Castle" for the Manhattan Ensemble Theater, "The Countess" for the Globe Theater, and "The Tempest" and "As You Like It" for the Houston Shakespeare Festival.
Later this year, Parsons will guest star on an episode of the sitcom "iCarly," starring Miranda Cosgrove.
On the big screen, Parsons will appear this fall in the comedy "The Big Year," opposite Rashida Jones, Anjelica Huston, Steve Martin, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson. Directed by David Frankel, the film is based on Mark Obmascik's tome about three men who try to outdo each other during a year-long competition to spot the rarest birds in North America. Parsons will play an avid birder in the contest. He will also appear in the upcoming feature film, "The Muppets," opening in theaters Thanksgiving 2011.
His other film credits include Todd Phillips' "School for Scoundrels," opposite Billy Bob Thorton and Jon Heder, and Chris Terrio's "Heights" opposite Glenn Close and James Marsden. Parsons also delivered scene-stealing performances in several independent films, including "Garden State," "Gardner of Eden" and "The Great New Wonderful."
Parsons earned a Masters in Fine Arts degree from the Old Globe Theater/University of San Diego and a BA from the University of Houston. Born and raised in Houston, he now resides in Los Angeles. His birth date is March 24.

Hi all many times I wondered and kind of get it now more than before about who is this "Son of MAN"' there is alot about it in the bible wondering your thoughts on the matter . here is a couple of good ones This SON of man is called Son of Man in His Suffering stateand in His Resurrection is declared by Godto be the Son of GodGod, Glorified, is the "secret" hidden in the OLD Testament and nowrevealed to the apostles and prophets. He came to "manifest" the Truth, that LIFE goes ON, He was caught up at His ascension to the PLACE of that LIFE! The placewhere He had drawn strength all the time of His suffering."The MYSTERY of Christ "in" YOU! The HOPE of glory! The hopeplaced in mankind that was created subject to vanity, not willingly,but by reason of HIM who "subjected" the same IN that HOPE!Christ in YOU, the HOPE of glory.
Perhaps Jesus is the last Adam because He is the first man capable of being The Life-Giving Spirit.
it was prophesized in the OT that the "Son of Man" would be God's appointed saviourJesus referred to himself as the "Son of Man" on many occasions...especially when a prophesy was about to be fulfilledLuke 24:7'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' "John 8:28So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves built a 4-2 lead and held on through a late rally to collect a 4-3 victory at the Allstate Arena Wednesday night.
The win marked the fourth victory in five games for Chicago (30-24-2-4), which used a two-goal performance from left wing Nigel Dawes and markers from forwards Ryan Garbutt and Fredrik Pettersson to slip past Rockford.
"That late goal in the second to make it 3-2 was a huge turning point," said Wolves Head Coach Don Lever. "They were coming at us pretty hard all night but we hung in there and didn't give them anything there at the end."
The Wolves took a 1-0 lead, 3:48 into the first period when Rockford goaltender Hannu Toivonen came out the play the puck behind the net and Dawes raced in and deposited it in the net before the goaltender could get back in position.
Garbutt made the Wolves lead 2-0 at 7:27 of the first frame when he took a pass from center Jason Krog in the slot and flung it past Toivonen.
Rockford captain Garnet Exelby cranked a shot from the blueline that flew through traffic in front of the net and past Wolves goaltender Drew MacIntyre to make the score 2-1 at 11:12 of the second period.
The IceHogs drew even with 40 seconds left in the second period. Ryan Potulny carried the puck down the left boards before slipping a pass to Jeff Taffe streaking down the slot for a quick rip past MacIntyre.
The Wolves answered 20 seconds later to regain the lead, 3-2, when defenseman Mark Matheson slipped a pass out to Dawes from behind the net and Dawes pushed a shot straight down the slot between Toivonen's legs.
Chicago regained its two-goal lead, 4-2, 39 seconds into the third period. Defenseman Noah Welch put the puck up the ice for Pettersson, who drove in alone and wristed a shot past Toivonen.
Toivonen (10-12-3) turned aside 27 shots for the IceHogs.
Rockford (21-28-3-4) pulled to 4-3 at 9:27 of the third period. Defenseman Ryan Stanton cranked a shot past MacIntyre from the blue line.
MacIntyre (11-5-1) posted 27 saves for Chicago.

Game No. 3 | Montreat at Chattanooga | McKenzie Arena | Nov. 16, 2013
Montreat Head Coach Lincoln Walters was a four-year letter winner at Chattanooga in the mid-to-late 90's. He began his career in 1994-95 and closed out in 1997-98. Walters contributed to three Southern Conference South Division Championships, two SoCon Tourney titles and two NCAA Tournament appearances including the 1997 Sweet 16 run.
Chattanooga is now 92-1 against non-DI opposition, 2-0 vs. the Cavaliers. The all-time record moves to 1,195-981, 667-432 in the DI era (1978-present). The program is 369-106 in McKenzie Arena.
The Mocs lead the Southern Conference in four categories entering the game tonight. Here's how they fared tonight (average entering game):
Scoring: 108 (98.5 ppg)
Blocks: 8 (7.0 bpg)
Steals: 20 (12.5 spg)
TO Margin: +16 (+12.0/gm)
Tonight is the 90th time Chattanooga has eclipsed the 100-point mark. It's the second time this season with 119 in the season opener vs. Covenant. The last time the squad had multiple 100-point games in a season was 2008-09 with three: 108-67 over Tennessee Temple, 102-70 vs. Tennessee Wesleyan and 100-87 against Georgia Southern.
The Mocs have won by 30 or more 98 times now. The opener was a 63-point win against Covenant, while tonight's was 57, the ninth largest margin of victory in school history. It is the third time the Mocs have won by 50 or more in a season. The last time was 2011-12 when the team topped Warren Wilson by 52 (88-36), Spalding by 50 (98-48) and Hiwassee by 54 (95-41).
Chattanooga held a 47-25 advantage on the glass tonight with 19 offensive rebounds. The squad tallied 26 second chance points (5 for Montreat). The Mocs scored 55 of their 108 in the paint and recorded 41 points off 28 Montreat turnovers. The team had 20 steals for the first time since a school-record 22 in the season opener last year against Tennessee Temple.
