Shoppers at Lowe's on Whiskey Road on Saturday will have the opportunity to help Aiken County Habitat for Humanity. The organization is celebrating World Habitat Day with an effort to collect items that can be used in the construction of houses.
"The whole purpose of Habitat is to reach out to those who are in desperate need of decent, affordable housing," said Richard Church, Aiken County Habitat's executive director. "What we receive will be used to build houses in Aiken County."
Aiken County Habitat will have its ReSale Store truck in Lowe's parking lot from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The organization's volunteers will hand out lists to shoppers of things Habitat needs.
"When people leave the store, they can give us their purchased items," Church said. "Then we will give them tax receipts and put their donations in the truck."
During last year's World Habitat Day celebration, the donations included electric tools, hammers, nails, screws, tape measures and four pallets of lumber, Church said.
"Someone can go into Lowe's and buy an item for $1.25, and it will make a big difference to us," Church said.
Aiken County Habitat, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, has constructed 92 homes since it was founded in 1988. Members of the Habitat Campus Chapter at USC Aiken have built 22 sheds for the Crosland Park development project, gone on trips to help build houses in the area devastated by Hurricane Katrina and have worked on Habitat houses locally.
"We're always building, and we always need stuff," Church said.
In 1985, the United Nations General Assembly designated the first Monday in October as World Habitat Day. This year's date is Oct. 7. However, the United Nations announced that it would recognize Habitat Day in 2013 during a two-week period that started Oct. 1.

The Ohio Department Of Transportation (ODOT) has awarded a $12 million contract to Complete General Construction of Columbus to rehabilitate bridges on and resurface U.S. 52, S.R. 239, S.R. 73, S.R. 852 in West Portsmouth.
This project has been deemed the Spaghetti Bowl project by ODOT, because of the configuration of the highways.
The contractor has begun some preliminary preparation work on the roadway.
"The initial work is doing what they call the rumble stripes. They have to do some work along the shoulders of the highways along with some stripping work. This is done in anticipation of reducing traffic to one lane in each direction," said Kathleen Fuller, ODOT District 9 Spokeswoman. "Lane restrictions will be in effect west of the 239 interchange all the way to the bridge that crosses the Scioto River. All of that will be restricted to one 11-foot lane in each direction."
She said lane restrictions will be enacted on March 25 and are expected to be in place through the end of the year.
Fuller said the lane restrictions will be lifted towards the end of this year. But, will come back when year two of the project gets started in 2014.
"This a two-year project and in both years it will be phased out. The first phase of year one is bridge work. There are eight bridges, between State Route 239 and U.S. 52 and they are going to do all of the bridge rehabilitation and ramp bridge rehabilitation's this year," Fuller said. "Next year will be the paving operations. Through the construction zone a 45-mile per hour speed limit will be enacted."
She said crews are anticipated to be finished with the bridge rehabilitation's by mid-summer. Once finished, they will start rehabilitation work on three bridges with ramps.
"Once they are finished with the bridges, then crews will begin work on three ramp bridges within the project area. Two of the bridges with ramps are near State Route 73 interchange area and the third in close to the 239 interchange," Fuller said. "When the bridge is being done, the main line traffic will be restricted to one lane. When they go to the ramps, two of the three ramps will have total closures but they will not be at the same time."
She said the bridges with ramps will be sequenced in their closures. Once closed they will remain closed for 60 days.
She said this is a unique undertaking because it's a design build project.
"This is a design build project so the contractors are given a set of very broad plans so, they know what needs to be done. They, then come back to us (ODOT) with specifics. Normally in a construction plan we would have all of this mapped out for them. With a design build project they come to us with specifics," Fuller said.
She said once finished, the roadway will have several advantages for area divers.
"When we talk to the public, people want smooth pavement, pavement that does not have potholes and has a nice ride to it," Fuller said.
She said over the life span of a bridge, you have to do some work to them from general maintenance to replacing them.
"There comes a point where the life expectancy of a bridge starts to wane and they need to be replaced or rehabilitated," Fuller said. "This rehabilitation project is for the safety of the motorists."

(November 19, 2012) -- Redshirt freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel was named finalist for the Maxwell Award and the Davey O'Brien Award. The Maxwell Award is for the Collegiate Player of the Year, while the O'Brien Award is given to the nation's best college quarterback.
Manziel, from Kerrville, Texas, became the first SEC player, first freshman and fifth NCAA FBS player to pass for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a single season, and did it in just 11 games, which is the fastest in history.
Manziel has already broken the school record for total offense in a season with 4,161 yards and needs only 167 yards to break 2010 Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton's SEC record for total offense. He is Texas A&M's only 1,000-yard QB rusher, and his 1,114 yards rank second in SEC history only to Newton's 1,473 among quarterbacks.
Manziel has passed for 300 yards and rushed for 100 yards in three games this season, which had never been done in a season or a career by an NCAA FBS player. He's also produced two rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns in five games in 2012, which is the most since Florida's Tim Tebow did it six times during his Heisman Trophy winning season in 2007.
Junior offensive tackle Luke Joeckel was also named finalist for the Outland Trophy, which is given annually to the nation's top interior lineman.
The winners of the Outland Trophy, Maxwell Award and Davey O'Brien Award will be revealed on ESPN during The Home Depot College Football Awards airing live from the Atlantic Dance Hall at Disney's BoardWalk at the Walt Disney World Resort on Thursday, Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m. CT.

Sparky vs Tom Crean
by Steve Fifer
posted Feb 1 2013 6:05PM
As many people that listen to the Wendy's Big Show know, I am a person that tends to hold grudges and not let things go all that easily. If you know me or listen to the Wendy's Big Show fairly regularly, you also realize my dislike for Indiana head coach Tom Crean. I will say that the first day I met him while working at WISN radio, I thought he could do great things. I remember telling the host that I produced for at the time that Tom Crean was clearly the right man for the Marquette job at that point. He was similar to Bruce Pearl in that both of them had that "used car sales guy" side of them. If you can recruit, you don't have to be a great X's and O's guy. You can have those assistants with you on your staff to help you along with that.
I remember the stories I would hear about Dwyane Wade when he was a freshman and just how jaw-droppingly good he was in practice every day. I'll admit that I wasn't really buying into what I was hearing. However, when I watched him play in the Great Alaskan Shootout during his second season (first with eligibility) I couldn't believe my eyes. Now again, I didn't think he would turn into an NBA superstar, but I knew he was going to be a damn good college player and the sky was the limit for Marquette. A Final Four appearance later, Dwyane Wade was headed to the NBA, and things had changed forever for Tom Crean.
With the Final Four appearance comes the pressure of keeping the team at a high level and not letting the program slip back to mediocrity. With the Final Four appearance came other schools calling wanting him to leave and go coach for them. With the Final Four appearance came the challenge of not letting his success change him.
People thought that Crean could just go find another Wade, however, even at that point fans still didn't realize how good they had it. I think Tom Crean knew that finding another Dwyane Wade while at MU was going to be like finding a needle in a haystack, so when Indiana came calling he left for his "dream job".
The challenge at Indiana was probably a greater challenge than what he undertook at MU when he first arrived, considering all the sanctions that IU had placed on them because of the transgressions of former head coach Kelvin Sampson. Crean hasn't looked back since taking over and has turned Indiana back into a powerhouse program in relatively short order.
Did the Final Four change him as a person? I think you could ask a bunch of different people in Wisconsin and get a bunch of different answers. However, if you ask Dwyane Wade, Tom Crean may have changed the course of basketball history
After having read that great piece by Chris Tomasson, while I may not let go of my grudge with Tom Crean, I couldn't be happier to see the relationship he has kept with Dwyane Wade. Let's face it, both are at much different points in their life, but for Crean to reach out like that at that moment is truly heart-warming.

bo cremes crean
`I know that Bo hopes Crean does not do any more team hopping. He owned him at Marquette and owns him at Indiana. Crean will be one happy dude when Bo finally decides to hane em up.
Buzz beats Crean
Crean can't coach so he needs players. Easier to buy them at IU. Buzz has pulled in just as good players while only being slightly dirtier than Crean was here. Sparky writes like a 6th grader.

Comments about Cody James® Men's Narrow Round R Toe Western Boots:
This is one heck of a boot for the money. Takes a beating. Very comfortable. Love the leather soul. Had my cobbler lower the heel a bit (as I do with all my boots) and added a rubber protective soul over the leather soul for traction and protection. Used for everyday. Takes a good beating and still looks great. Could also be worn with a suit and kept nice. Good leather. Still had a strong leather smell 2 weeks after I brought em home. Good classic conservative look and style.

PechaKucha to unite ideas, stories, performancesWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | email@example.com
Toledoans can see slide shows on steroids at the Glass City's second PechaKucha Night on June 12 at the Toledo-Lucas County Main Library.
In PechaKucha, presenters have six minutes and 40 seconds to share concepts, stories, performances or artwork by sharing 20 slides for 20 seconds each.
"It can be very entertaining because you don't know what's going to happen in those 20 seconds, the audience doesn't know what's going to happen in those 20 seconds and mistakes do happen," said event organizer Kimberly Adams.
PechaKucha began in Tokyo in 2003 as a way for young designers to share their ideas.
"They started it for architects, because the architects tended to be a little long-winded when they were presenting their designs so they kind of shortened that format for them," Adams said. Now the nights occur in more than 500 cities all over the world and Tokyo itself has had about 100 PechaKucha Nights. The events even have their own designated space within the city.
Adams, founder of tart :: projects, an artists' platform, also organized Toledo's first PechaKucha Night, which took place March 31 at Manhattan's. She recently moved back to Ohio after living in Tampa, Fla., where she first observed PechaKucha.
"I'd been to a couple in Tampa and they were really well put-together so I just thought it'd be great to happen here," Adams said.
PechaKucha almost started in Toledo in 2010, but never officially took off. However, 2012 was a different story for PechaKucha in Toledo. After deciding to bring the events to Toledo, Adams reached out to the PechaKucha organization in Tokyo.
"I had to sign a contract, like a handshake contact. The contract had a picture of the two hands shaking," Adams said with a laugh. By signing the contract, Adams agreed to organize four nights within the year.
The first Toledo event included 10 presenters of all kinds and 30-50 people attended, Adams said. So far, the June presentation also looks to be full of variety.
"[PechaKucha is] used for like artists, designers, people that are advocating for anything and everything," Adams said.
The documentarian
One of those artists is Tina Gionis, who returned from making a documentary in Taiwan about a month ago. While in Taiwan, she documented the Mazu Pilgrimage and Festival, an annual celebration honoring Mazu, the sea deity of the Taoist faith. Her PechaKucha presentation will feature images and stories from her trip, she said.
"[Filming] was really a good experience, pretty high-pressure. I did a lot of traveling around and the pilgrimage was very fast moving. A lot of times, I didn't get enough sleep but I managed to get the footage I needed and I was able to get a lot of interviews with the right people and capture the intensity," Gionis said.
The next step is the film's editing process. "I believe the making of a film, half of it is actually shooting and capturing footage and the other half is editing. You really tell a story with how you put the shots together," she said. Depending on funding, the editing process could take up to a year.
This is Gionis' first PechaKucha night and she is still putting together her presentation, but plans to share some exciting stories.
"I'll probably talk about how I almost got trampled in a religious frenzy by Mazu followers," she said.
Events like PechaKucha Night can make the city stronger, Gionis said.
"It sounds like a really good way to make people aware of different projects artists are working on," she said.
The movie-inspired poet
Imani Lateef, an independent graphic designer and presenter, agreed with Gionis.
"[PechaKucha] creates an opportunity for people to share in real time. It's so odd with all the technology that there's so many connections, but we're still very much separated. This actually gives us the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone so to speak, in ways that social media outlets don't normally do,"
Lateef said.
Lateef plans on presenting a poem he wrote based on scenes from the film, "Black Orpheus," which won the 1960 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The film was made in Brazil and directed by Marcel Camus.
"I thought it would be a cool way to use the PechaKucha format," Lateef said. "[The format] lends itself perfectly to poetry and artistic presentations."
Lateef first heard of PechaKucha in 2010 and even offered to sponsor a night at his now closed Ground Level Coffee House, but the event fell through. But now the designer is happy to be working on his new presentation. "I enjoy the challenge. I think it's going to be very interesting to see how people work in the constraints," he said.
The nonprofit worker
Sam Melden, executive director of Food for Thought, hopes to be helped by those constraints. "It's actually helpful because you know exactly what's expected. The interesting part for me is I've never seen [PechaKucha] done," he said. If his presentation is successful, Melden may start talking in "20-second bursts," he said.
His organization, Food for Thought, aims to feed the hungry while investing dignity and respect in them, Melden said. He plans to share the story of the nonprofit along with "how thought or being thoughtful really matters to the work that you do in the nonprofit type job."
Food for Thoughtn was founded in May 2007 and Melden joined the organization in August 2011 after working in retail and ministry positions. Food for Thought now operates a stationary and mobile food pantry, a lunch distribution program and gardens for growing healthy foods.
Melden said he hopes to impart some of the group's philosophy at PechaKucha Night.
"It would be my No. 1 goal just to offer something of value. If [the audience] considers it valuable then I've accomplished something," he said of his presentation.
The out-of-town artist
Samantha Hookway has a few reasons to be in Toledo this June: a friend's wedding, the Glass Art Society (GAS) Convention from June 13-17 and, of course, presenting at PechaKucha.
When she heard of PechaKucha, "I thought, 'Score!' because I wanted to come to Toledo and do something but I'm feeling very tight with the wedding and the GAS conference," Hookway said. She plans to present some of her artwork and background on the slides.
The artist, influenced by how painters interpret windows, often puts the look of a stained glass window on materials like silk.
"I was making [glass art] traditionally … but then as I kept making the work, I realized I wanted to take the stained glass in the leaded window into another world altogether," she said.
Hookway lives in Columbus and has heard of PechaKucha Nights, but never attended.
"It's a platform where all the disciplines can find a way to fit together, so that's a really strong part of it and I'm hoping I'll learn something I hadn't considered," she said.
At press time, other presenters include Karen Ranney Wolkins of the Toledo Botanical Garden, Adam Goldberg of Gathered Studio, Amy Fidler of You Are Here Toledo/AIGA Toledo and Aesa Bjork, a glass artist. The event is sponsored by Toledo Free Press, Erie Construction Mid-West Inc., DoxSystems, Paul R. Sullivan Jr., AIA LLC, Law Office of Gretchen DeBacker and tart :: projects.
Adams is still looking for presenters for June 12. The only requirement of presenters is that they use images and send Adams a statement to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The minimum number of presenters is 10 and the maximum is 16.
"[PechaKucha is] pretty wide open. It's just a platform for people to share their ideas, you know, get it out there. With as much as we've got going on here, it's a great way to inform the community of what's happening," Adams said. After June, the next PechaKucha Night is set for September and Adams hopes to get Rep. Marcy Kaptur to present.
PechaKucha Night is 7:30-10 p.m. June 12 at the Toledo-Lucas County Main Library, 325 N. Michigan St. Admission is free.

For years I have been noting (and utilizing in my own work) the exciting potential of the Internet and particularly links-technology, for the purposes of making comprehensible in a convenient fashion, the inherent "interconnectedness" of the Catholic faith. It's all tied together, and should be understood and studied as such. But only in the last twenty years have all of these treasures been so easily accessed. On my website I have delighted in trying my best to present Catholic Christianity and help make it easier to conceptualize in its totality, by means of links and overall categorization.
Logos Catholic Bible Software now makes these tasks far easier still, since dazzling state of the art technology allows the user or researcher to search and peruse (in just seconds) many hundreds of relevant documents: theological, spiritual, historical, linguistic, magisterial, and apologetics resources. The technology combines them all together, with search and integrative capabilities not even imagined fifteen or even ten years ago, wrapped together in an intuitive and user-friendly interface.
Catholic Scholar's Library is the most extensive package available, with nearly 400 works included. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it (90% less cost than all of the same resources in hardcover and paperback), and payment plans are available. Logos offers less extensive packages, too, such as Catholic Scripture Study Library. It supplies 300 resources at about 60% of the cost of the larger program, or the smaller-yet Catholic Library Builder. In early December 2011, just as I was writing this review, Logos added the new, lowest-cost product, Catholic Foundations Library (150 resources). Priests, Bible scholars, teachers, catechists, RCIA instructors, apologists (like myself), and indeed anyone who is interested in learning more about their faith, the Bible, and Catholic theological and spiritual tradition, will greatly benefit from these wonderful tools.
Catholic Scholar's Library) for detailed descriptions of all the different aspects and tools: many Bible translations, commentaries, Greek and Hebrew lexicons, biblical culture and maps, ancient Jewish and Church history (e.g., the complete 38-volume set of the Church fathers), theological aids (e.g., the Summa Theologica by St. Thomas Aquinas; many works by G. K. Chesterton and Cardinal Newman). Just about anything any inquirer would need to shed light on a biblical text or particular Christian doctrine or spiritual matter to be explored, is included.
Logos has provided the best electronic Bible study tools for years. Now it has, thankfully, expanded its efforts to include specifically Catholic products. Catholic Products Manager Andrew Jones gives a brief overview in the following video:
Jones sounds the same "interconnectedness" theme that I highlighted above:
The rich Catholic tradition, with its intricate interplay of Scripture, liturgy, law and theology, is profoundly suited for study on the Logos platform. . . . Catholic Scripture study requires both serious textual and historical criticism of the biblical text itself, and it requires that the insights gained from this study be situated within the Church's tradition. . . . print has required that each work be essentially isolated from all others, physically and conceptually. The digital age is changing this. Logos is extremely flexible and adaptable to many styles of Bible study, but it is especially well suited to the Catholic approach, because it allows the biblical text to be studied literally surrounded with the Tradition — really in constant dialogue with the tradition.
Amen! To get an idea of the marvelous nature of this software, note, for example, how it searches (or, more accurately, finds materials), Jones explains that "it is not a normal search engine like Google or something like that. Logos doesn't just search for keywords. Rather, we've put human intelligence into the tagging of the books. So, for example, if you search for 'Eucharist' the software will return references to the 'Lord's Supper,' 'Communion,' and so on."
It also provides the Greek or Hebrew word for any given English translation (what is called the "word wheel"), and searches that word, in order to provide all the various translated words in English for each term. I have done the same thing with my Englishman's Greek Concordance for years, but it is a much more tedious and time-consuming process that is now made possible in about five seconds. One can save a lot of time and eye strain!
As a veteran of many individual word searches, both the old-fashioned way (Strong's Concordance or Treasury of Scripture Knowledge or Nave's Topical Bible), and even on faster Internet Bible sites, I can testify that this is a huge benefit. Concepts in the Bible are rarely contained in just one word: whether in English, or Hebrew and Greek. These three reference works are included in Logos Catholic Bible Software: but integrated together with many others for "super-search" capabilities. The software offers English-Greek and English-Hebrew reverse interlinear versions, synopses, parallel Gospels and harmonies, among many other tools.
I know full well, from my own personal work of thirty years of apologetics -- thumbing through hundreds of books --, how very useful this software is. In a large sense, those who have done theological research "the old way" probably appreciate the "new way" the most. Perhaps in a generation, the old methods will become almost obsolete.
All of the fabulous integrated search technology of Catholic Scholar's Library and other Logos packages make one appreciate all the more, the labors of the thousands of scholars throughout history. Their work is made readily available to anyone (conventional books often don't have an index, or have an inadequate index: again, I can amply testify, again). The capacity for learning and spiritual growth is endless. Andrew Jones comments: "One of the things that historians do is organize vast amounts of information, hundreds or thousands of sources all focused on a single concept or event, and that is precisely what Logos does."
What really sets it apart, though, is that when you use the program you feel like you're working with a librarian rather than a lifeless computer program. It acquires, catalogs, and organizes your resources, and helps you, the digital patron, find the information you're looking for, quickly and easily.
Logos products are multi-platform and will work on PC and Mac (see system requirements): including an iPhone Bible app and an iPad Bible app. Video tutorials for many different aspects make learning to use this great resource fun and fairly easy.
I myself am a relative newcomer to the "scene" but recommendations of this software from prominent figures and friends of mine in the Catholic apologetics community who have been longtime users, are glowing:
Patrick Madrid: "I've been a happy and satisfied Logos customer and cheerleader for over 15 years . . . I'm very excited about Catholic base packages and whole-heartedly recommend them."
Steve Ray (user of Logos software since 1990!): "Its customer support and training are unsurpassed. . . . it has always been powerful and easy-to-use and keeps getting better. . . . As a Catholic convert I am very excited about these new resources."
Jimmy Akin: "Logos Bible Software gives you the ability to instantly and effortlessly make discoveries in the Bible that would have taken scholars endless hours of labor in the past. . . . [it includes] Church Fathers, Church councils, and the great saints and doctors of the Church. I use Logos Bible Software constantly, and I enthusiastically recommend it to others."
Mike Aquilina: "It's a respectable theological library that fits easily onto an iPad and goes everywhere you might have to go. In some ways it's better than the bookshelves of a theological library, since it's searchable."

Geology at Kent State StarkThe Department of Geology at Kent State offers undergraduate programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in geology. The basic difference between a B.A. and B.S. degree in geology is that the B.S. degree requires more geology courses while the B.A. degree allows for extensive elective course opportunities. Students can also earn the Bachelor of Arts degree in earth science.
Partial Coursework Completion at Kent State StarkStudents can complete 2-3 years of study at Kent State Stark before transitioning to the Kent Campus to complete their geology or earth science degree.
Geology Minor at Kent State Stark
Students can complete the geology minor in its entirety at Kent State Stark.
Career OpportunitiesIn the coming decade, the need for energy, environmental protection and responsible land and water management is expected to increase employment demand within the geosciences, including employment in management, scientific and technical services, for which the B.A. in Geology provides academic preparation. Between 2008 and 2018, employment growth of 18 percent is expected for geoscientists and hydrologists, growth of 29 percent is expected for environmental science and protection technicians, and growth of 15 percent is expected for natural science managers.
About 23 percent of geoscientists were employed in architectural, engineering, and related services and 19 percent worked for oil and gas extraction companies. State agencies such as State geological surveys and State departments of conservation employed another 9 percent of geoscientists. Eight percent worked for the Federal Government, including geologists, geophysicists, and oceanographers, mostly within the U.S. Department of the Interior for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and within the U.S. Department of Defense.

|Alumni Photo Show - Work by Edward Leskin & Jane Noel
Edward A. Leskin, Images from Home and Abroad: A 24-Year Photographic Journey: Leskin was born in Allentown, PA, in 1965. A lifelong student of politics and fine arts, Leskin double-majored in Political Science and Studio Art at Moravian (Class of 1988). During his last year, he acquired an intense interest in photography. He attended Pratt Institute, where he received an MFA (Photography) in 1991.
Artis'ts statement: My work mostly addresses issues bigger than the individual. Subjects over the years include the rise and fall of Bethlehem Steel and its impact on the community, the impact and legacyof the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington D.C., the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the politics and social conditions in Russia, as well as many other issue of human significance. The camera offers an opportunity to express complex interpretations of real time events and issue that affect us all in some way. It is the act of pure creation from the soul motivated by events and themes that form hard time on many individuals.
Jane S. Noel, Tag Sale and Other Stories: The home is an archive of memories. But each family member has their own catalog. What happens when the family home is disbanded and the archive is no longer intact? In December, Noel's mother moved from the home where she had lived for 47 years. It was her task to clear what remained, a job most often done alone.
Artist's statement: I had the honor of studying Photography with Judith Joy Ross and graduated from Moravian in 1978. I continued my studies earning an M.A. from George Washington University and an M.F.A. from Vermont College of Fine Art. I primarily investigate the concepts of identity, gender, and contemporary issues. My medium of choice is photography but I am familiar with a variety of tools and will use whatever the project requires to complete the work. In my installation and community work, I try to create a context for interaction.

Wishing everyone a safe and great Tuesday!
It's been stormy and rainy and flooding a lot this autumn. Last Friday South Finland had their second
storm this year. Many trees fall, many had power outages and it came a lot of snow too. So we are not
safe anymore. These storms can soon be something we have to deal with every now and then. Has to do with
climate change. Send thoughts and prayers to all who are in need.
Oh yes Spidey I agree that people are crazy about this Christmas shopping. I was in the town today and
parked my car in a parking garage. It was almost empty when I came around 10 but when I left 12:00 the parking
garage was full of cars and the store that I goes too was full of people. And it was middle of the day when
most of people is still in work. :dunno: We forget to take it easy and enjoy the Holiday.
Still very cold here -19C and it doesn't look like it will warm up either. :sad:
But maybe next week who knows.
Take good care and be well. Send healing vibes to all who need that.
((all in need or not))
((all in flooding areas))
((all critters too))

Rights = freedom of choice. Anything that removes that freedom of choice is impacting rights.
I think you greatly underestimate just how highly the American founding fathers and early Americans in general valued freedoms and rights. They were willing to die for them and they were willing to kill for them. Today we all but beg for them to be taken away in the nane of safety because by and large this country now consists of a bunch of pussies.

I think everyone should wear a helmet...... I do not think it should be mandated that everyone should wear a helmet. It's my mellon and it should be my right to split it!!!!! at the same time - you should have no right to sue if said mellon becomes split without helmet

You are not from here so it is not your tax dollars being rolled into paying the police to go enforce this. California tried to do this a year or two ago and the bill didn't pass. Helmets might save lives but when it's our choice as to whether or not we will inherently risk ourselves that is the issue. Would you like it if the government suddenly said hey you know what you've been doing one way your whole life and we've never bothered you for it? Well now we want that to change because one person who had a bad ordeal suddenly feels the need to push their agenda on a whole state or even country. That's what we're dealing with.
Why would I want a police officer on the hill ticketing kids for not wearing a helmet when they could actually be doing something of real value? It's like this countries war on drugs we've lost it yet they keep shoving money at it thinking they'll fix the problem.
Your country is fucking desolate like to the point what 80% of it doesn't house people? Ours on the other hand is just urban sprawl with too many half wits taking up space eating high fructose corn syrup and letting t.v. drain their thought process. You're comparing your country which is a turd to ours which is an apple. Both might be round, ours might turn brown, but yours is still excrement.

Hell work in a tune shop and mount skis the liability release forms are fucking huge sign in three spots, initial here, tech signature there, tech initials there, blah blah blah basically its to cover everyones ass so you can't be sued. I remember when the legalities of working in a tune shop changed and people could not only sue the shop but the individual that worked on the skis/snowboard. A few years ago I remember a chick coming in who just bought a full set up at Sports Authority and they sent her to my shop to have us set it up because they didn't have anyone that could do it and they were afraid they'd get sued. Sued over 8 frigging screws. Funny thing was a year after that one of the other shops owned by that company I worked for got sued for that exact reason.

People will say, about seatbelts, for example, that without them our insurance rates would be higher or our health care costs would be higher (negative externalities) and therefore to keep one man from imposing these "costs" on others, it is necessary and justifiable to make everyone wear the seatbelt. Well there may not be any evidence to suggest insurance rates would be higher (they didn't go down in the mid 1980s when seatbelt laws gained traction in the US) and as for health care costs, a case could be made that this argument is untenable as question-begging.

Not upset mate, just no reason to be the way you are no matter if you give a fuck or not about what people think, there is such a thing called tact, google it. And as far as snowboarding knowledge, no doubt you know more than me and i couldnt care less my life remains the same. As for our country well maybe you need to google some more mate as 80% of our country not being populated is by choice not by nessecity, and also it may have to do with the fact that we have less than 10% of the US's total population, so why wouldnt we live on the coast in our non over populted cities. Do yourself a favour and make a trip down here before making retarded statements about a country you know nothing about.
Back to the topic, i understand that sometimes you dont want to change things you have done all your life but are you saying that as times change then we shouldnt adapt? As life goes on we make new discoveries and gain knowledge so are we supposed to just live the way we used to? I could give a shit if you crack you head open if you know the dangers but why should we not try and protect our children and youth? As far as how much new legislation and laws cost only a lengthy (20+ years) study will probably show the savings or extra cost of enforcing helmet use vs medical cost related to head injuries. Im not going to get into the tax discussion (even though the US is taxed very low compared to most other western countries) and im not suggesting police need to monitor the new rule, i agree with whoever posted that the lift guys enforce it, if you hvae a ticket and no helmet = no ride. But for anyone to simply say that change is infringing against their rights is wrong, change is going to happen no matter what you want/do and no amount of complaining will change this, its how life works, we grow older, get wiser, and put in place systems to help protect our countries future.

Auco Cruises
Price: from $850/Dbl Cabin for 2 persons
Travel Adventures and places to visit in Halong Bay
Having been named the number one tourist destination in north east, Halong Bay is a place full of natural diversities. Its means the Descending Dragon Bay which originates from the myth which states that a big trench of water going into the sea was made by a giant dragon as it crawled into the sea and the trenched it left got filled with the sea water. Away from the myths, this is a place every tourist longs not just to visit but to be able to explore the many islands that are almost 2000 in number. It is also a World Heritage Site and claims 90% of Vietnam's tourists. It is undoubtedly a must visit destination for anyone in Vietnam
Going on a thrilling boat cruise is the ideal way of entertaining visitors in Halong Bay. There are some wonderful sites that have lots of adventure to offer. For instance there are many ancient caves on the islands.
The largest beach in Halong Bay is the Lan Ha Bay which is off coast off Cat Ba islands. It is known to have over 100 sandy strips. Visitors also frequent Titop island which is a favorite for swimmers and has some good sports facilites. Some of the sports activities in this beach include fishing, swimming and kayaking.
The finest place for a nice relaxed day should be in Tuan Chau island. It is the prettiest beach in Halong Bay and an all set place with golf clubs, resorts, a complex recreation centre and some colonial villas. In the resort there are animals like dolphins and seal lion shows for visitors to observe. There are also restaurants that offer sumptuous seafood that is not worth missing. Visitors can also indulge in some bit of luxury in Halong Bay Casino and enjoy some real Halong Bay coffee. There is also an octagonal house where president Ho Chi Minh used to stay during his visits to the place. It has become a tourist attraction site.
Near the Dinh Huong island, there are the Kissing Cocks, These are two cock like rocks standing at a height of 10 metres facing each other. They seem to be about to fall due to their tiny base but hey have held on the posture for thousands of years. Also there is eye catching Thieng Cung Grotto which has a narrow entrance but opens to a large space within it. It is a scenery of natural beautiful colors that are just good to marvel at.
If you are looking for a luxury Halon Bay Cruise. Halong Bay is on your list of 'must sees', then we recommend coming onboard the beautiful luxury Cruises as: Halong Violet Cruise.

Reading stories about Apple's victory over Samsung in court over alleged infringement intellectual property I can't help but think back to the protests over Apple's labor standards in China, in particular in the Foxconn factories where iPhones were made. Despite the fact that these jobs were good factory jobs in China, and that they may simply lead to manufacturers to replace the workers with robots, consumers made a lot of noise over this and got Apple to subject itself to increased monitoring and pressed Foxconn into giving raises. But where are the protests of Apple's attempts to squelch competition and reduce consumer choices through lawsuits and aggressive patenting?
Consumers may mistake this for a fight between Apple and Samsung, but consider Apple's move to have the following eight Samsung smartphones banned in the wake of winning the trial:
- Galaxy S 4G
- Galaxy S2 (AT&T)
- Galaxy S2 (Skyrocket)
- Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile)
- Galaxy S2 Epic 4G
- Galaxy S Showcase
- Droid Charge
- Galaxy Prevail
This isn't just Apple trying to get Samsung banned from selling these phones, this is effectively equivalent to Apple trying to get consumers banned from buying them. And yet I see little to nothing in the way of consumer protests. Sure other companies are guitly of aggressive use of IP and trying to block Apple and other competitor products, but why haven't consumers protested them either?
You might object that nobody is going to stop buying iPhones, other gadgets, and software that is defended with inefficiently aggressive use of IP law, so consumers have nothing to threaten. If all smartphone makers are offenders, you can't threaten to abandon them all. But I very much doubt that many people actually sold, threw out, or didn't buy an iPhone because they were upset about Foxconn. It is more the indirect effect of having a tarnished image, and the long-run pressure that places on sales. For good or for ill, the Foxconn protests put pressure on Apple. I see no reason why equally strong protests against inefficiently aggressive IP litigiousness can't have the same effect.
If it would help (and even if it wouldn't) it raise the question of why aren't consumers protesting? The welfare effects of what Apple is doing are much more likely to be negative than in the case of Foxconn labor standards, pink slime, or any of the other consumer protests that press companies into action. Are consumers simply confused about which company behaviors have negative welfare effects and which don't? Surely a large part of the explanation for why they protest is to signal, but why doesn't protesting for greater welfare increases signal caring even more strongly than protesting for questionable welfare increases? I don't have an answer for this.

Find IP Location With Google Maps
SEOmoz has created a tool that allows you to enter an IP and to locate it on Google Maps. The application uses Ajax so it will display the map as you type (it's useful to test Class C IP ranges).
So next time you find a strange IP in your stats, or when you want to find the address of someone and you know only the IP, use this mashup. The results are not extremely accurate as there are many ways to hide the IP and many machines are behind a NAT.
Note: I'll be gone in a short vacation, but that doesn't mean I won't be around. Starting from tomorrow TomHTML from Zorgloob will keep you company. He asked me to tell you he's not fluent in English, but I'm not either.

Updated: 05/06/2013 8:51 PM KSTP.com By: Scott Theisen
A California agency probing a deadly limousine fire that killed five women is considering whether to fine the limo company $7,500 per day for misrepresenting the limo's seating capacity.
The California Public Utilities Commission had authorized the vehicle to carry eight or fewer passengers, but it had nine on the night of the deadly fire.
Commission spokeswoman Terrie Prosper says the commission is looking into whether the company willfully misrepresented the seating capacity to the agency. If so, she says Limo Stop could be penalized $7,500 for each day it was in violation.
The women who were killed in the Saturday night blaze were celebrating the wedding of a newlywed friend who was among those killed.
Authorities are investigating what sparked the blaze and why the victims could not escape the flames.

Moctoberfest is a month-long celebration of Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball. It includes historical moments, social media interactions and introduction to UTC's freshmen among the myriad of video tributes and stories.
Day 22 focuses on freshman point guard Farad Cobb. Cobb is a highly-rated recruit who was brought in to provide immediate minutes at the one.
"He certainly did not come here to sit and watch," head coach John Shulman stated. "And with Tay's (Dontay Hampton) injury, he needs to be ready right out of the gate.
"He is a super confident kid," Shulman continued. "He's a winner. Farad can handle it and really shoot that ball. He's a true gym rat."
Cobb was a four-year starter at Summit Christian playing for Murray Smith. A native of West Palm Beach, Fla., he led the Fighting Saints to a 107-16 record and the 2011 Florida Class A State Championship. Summit was the 2A runner-up in 2009 and made the A final four in 2010.
ESPN.com rated Farad the No. 38 point guard in the nation in the 2012 recruiting class and No. 1 in Florida. The two-time Palm Beach Post Player of the Year averaged 27.8 points, 6.7 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game as a senior. That came after posting 22 points per contest as a junior.
His long list of accolades includes 2012 Fort Lauderdale SunSentinel Player of the Year and Orlando Sentinel Top 10 for all classifications. Cobb also made first team Class 3A All-State. He earned All-County honors all four years and was the 2009 Kingdom of the Sun three-point shooting champion.
He was already familiar with the game of one of his teammates before setting foot on Chattanooga's vibrant campus. Cobb was AAU teammates with Eric Robertson playing for Winfred Jordan and the Atlanta Xpress.
The son of Rita and Willie Cobb, he is undecided on his major at this time.
Chattanooga opens the season Monday, November 12, against Tennessee Temple in McKenzie Arena at 7 p.m. Season tickets for a school-record 18-game home slate are available. Call 266-MOCS (6627), go online here at GoMocs.com or stop by the Gate One McKenzie Arena Ticket Office. Single-game tickets are also on sale now.

3 Shades Of Grey
Only the most die-hard COLT aficionados among you may be familiar with this uniquely hot and sexy specimen, an early COLT man going by the name of David Grey. True, his stint at COLT was brief and the output small, but what an output it was! As far as I'm concerned, the three images below are some of the best and most iconic Rip COLT ever came up with:
For all images of David Grey, please be so good and click HERE to find them on the COLT website!
All-American Boy: Chuck Shields
With his sexy baby-face, well defined smooth body, and that shock of golden hair – Chuck Shields is the very embodiment of the All-American boy, such as he was imagined in the early 1980s.
Though I have no idea what the definition of the All-American boy has to say about the size of a man's cock, but one thing's for sure: Chuck Shields's manmeat is one fat, gorgeous slab of meat, and one that's just begging to be sucked!!!
More on Chuck Shields can be found on the COLT website!
One of the manliest, most testosterone filled, men EVER to be featured in the pages of COLT magazine, surely is hunk-to-end-all-hunks, horse-hung Karim! His name is synonymous with masculinity, and frankly, I can't think of a hotter, manlier man than him. What's more: He's gorgeous and has a smile that makes me melt away like butter in the sun!
… here, he's seen with his then real-life partner, Carlo Masi:
Coe Faulkner And His Handlebar Moustache
It was his trademark, his biggest asset, Coe Faulkner's handlebar moustache was a sensation, not just at COLT, but in the porn world in general. It made him stand out (… and our cocks stand up)!
More pics of Coe Faulkner are available on the COLT website.

Distressed leather western-style tall boots with attached ankle boot strap and antiqued hardware. Tonal embroidered detailing on body. Zips up the entire back. Leather sole. This boot is made in the exact same way that it was made over a hundred years ago, at the same factory. Every single aspect of this boot is handmade from start to finish, one pair at a time. This boot in particular was tumbled in a huge drum with tons of rocks and stone to get that perfect distressed look we all crave for.

**A Goodyear welted sole is a near-indestructible sole comprised of multiple layers of leather, stacked together and glued, then fastened through the sole with small cylindrical pegs of wood individually hammered in. It's a very laborious and time consuming process but creates a sole that can be reworked years later and able to last a lifetime.

Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Beachinchick Hard to find the words... ...to describe just how awesome these boots are.!!! I have never spent this much money on boots before but I could not stop thinking about them. I got them in the brown and they are a lot lighter than as pictured here. They are very distressed and have kind of a powdery look to them making it seem like you just walked through the desert in them. I am an 8-1/2 and was fortunate to be able to try these on since they are whole sizes in the 8 and the 9, and I went with the 8 because although they are narrow I could tell as I wore them they would loosen up a dash and be a great fit as opposed to the 9 which was already a dash too big and my heel seemed to slip in them as I walked. These are such a great neutral brown that they will look great with so many colors and especially lighter colors such as pastels which I always have a problem wearing dark boots with. I have a lot of boots and these are definitely the favorites in my closet! 1.8.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by rightintime Versatile boot: cowgirl, pirate, motorcycle chick! I bought this boot in black in my regular size, 10, and it fits perfectly. I was looking for something a little different -- not Steve Madden, not Frye, not something you see on every woman's feet. My only disappointment was that the leather is very very stiff, and the boot definitely does not slouch the way it does in the photos. I saddle-soaped them and conditioned them but they are still quite stiff. I've taken to unzipping them and rolling the shaft down to the foot in hopes of making them slouch a bit more. Otherwise, very cool! 1.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Destiny Amazing Pricey but worth every penny! Even more beautiful in person, very comfortable and true to size for me, I LOVE them! 11.2.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NewFreePerson These are the best! These boots can be dressed up or down. Slightly Western but not at all cheesy. Love them so much. Every Freebird pair is completely worth it. I am a 10 1/2 with a narrow foot and 10s fit great (like Frye). Plus the calves always fit well over my large calves. 8.15.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams You will love these to extinction I recommend investing in this pair if you are looking to find a boot to keep and love to extinction. Looking at the other review i notice that in this rare case, everyone gave five stars, hands down...and there are more than ten reviews. They are that good. They are, hands down, the most comfortable pair of boots i ever worn. I and wear boots every day:) The leather is superquality and will only get better with wear. The fit is so comfortable...perhaps be a little problematic if you have very athletic calves. The color is lighter than in the images. I find them to be running just a tad small, which is perfect. i try to go for 6 1/2 in boots since insoles and socks need to fit...this size 7 is perfect for me. I am quite fond of the freebird by steven line.Of the pairs i own, these are the most scrumptious ones. And the most perfect everyday wear. I've parted with only two freebird models based on design issues, like fabric inserts that look funny after a few rainstorms or because of weight, they become to heavy after i have them fitted with soles to keep them from wearing down and me from getting soaked. You will not regret these:) 4.16.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jonezy Will not dissapoint! I mulled over getting these boots for 2-3 months because the price tag. I have been in love with Golden Goose boots for years but can never imagine paying 1200.00 for a pair of shoes. These boots cured my craving! They are amazing! I wear the black with everything, skinny jeans, skirts, shorts, dresses...the boots are a absolute must have! 3.14.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by hchar ...OMG...brilliant OK...I know these boots are beyond expensive. I looked at them forever before I made the plunge. I wear my boots forever so it is one of the few things that I justify spending good money on. And I have to say they are worth every penny. I wear them constantly...and they go with pretty much everything. I cannot go anywhere without getting compliments on them... They are very, very comfortable once broken in...I wore them walking in NYC for a week and they passed the test. I would recommend getting them while you can. They run pretty true to size. 2.15.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by AC92 Almost Perfect The boots look gorgeous, I got the tan colored ones and they run a little darker than what's pictured but I love that. I have large calf muscles though, and the boots refuse to zip all the way, I rock them the way they are and have gotten nothing but compliments. I'm definitely keeping them, but other women with larger more muscular calves might want to second guess. 2.6.2013

Southern Miss demolishes Marshall
HATTIESBURG, Miss. — Marshall's Thundering Herd took one of its worst beatings ever Wednesday night.
Marshall scored the first points of the game on Elijah Pittman's 3-point shot, but Southern Miss went on a 21-0 run fueled by many Thundering Herd turnovers and led by 40 in the first half before finishing a 102-46 men's basketball victory in Reed Green Coliseum.
Southern Miss (16-4 season, 5-0 Conference USA) dominated every aspect in its 23rd consecutive homecourt victory, the fifth-longest active streak in the nation.
Marshall is 0-6 this season in true road games.
"We did not compete from the tap to the buzzer," Marshall head coach Tom Herrion said. "Not one man. Not one guy."
The worst defeats in 100 seasons listed in Marshall men's basketball records were twin 68-10 thrashings by Cincinnati Church of Christ on Jan. 29, 1913, and again on an unspecified date in the 1913-14 season.
Wednesday's 56-point margin matched the difference in a 118-62 defeat at DePaul on Feb. 14, 1976.
Also, it was the most lop-sided game between two C-USA teams ever, surpassing the 48-point margin for Cincinnati in a 105-57 win over Tulane on Jan. 29, 2001.
Marshall slumped to a 9-10 season record and is 2-2 in the conference.
"We never gave ourselves a chance," Herrion said.
Marshall's meager output of 13 field goals included four from both Pittman and Dre Kane who netted 16 and 13 points respectively.
Kane also had 11 of the Herd's 31 turnovers.
The Herd shot 33.3 percent from the field and the 3-point line and just 39.4 percent on 13 of 33 free throw shooting.
Southern Miss outrebounded Marshall, 34-23, with Kane getting four to lead the team.
It started bad as Marshall starting players Dennis Tinnon and Nigel Spikes were benched as punishment for being late to a team meeting. They both played, but Tinnon contributed only 2 points and 2 rebounds with seven turnovers before fouling out with 4:03 remaining and Spikes had three points and three rebounds.
The Golden Eagles pulled away 47-7 with about six minutes left in the first half.
After falling behind by 40, the Herd didn't get closer than 34 and the Southern Miss lead reached 56 with 1:03 to go.
Southern Miss, which made 63.2 percent of its field goals and was 11-for-20 on 3-point attempts for 55.0 percent, had five double-figure scorers topped by Jerrold Brooks with 20. Dwayne Davis had 10, Rashard McGill 13, Daveon Boardingham 12 and Michael Craig 10.
The Golden Eagles got 39 of their points as a result of Herd turnovers.
"I apologize to the fans listening," Herrion said on the post-game radio show. "That was not reflective of how we want to compete."
The game was scheduled for telecast on WCHS-TV 8, but a technical problem kept it off the air.
"We are unable to broadcast the Marshall-Southern Miss basketball game due to technical difficulties in Mississippi," an alert posted on www.wchstv.com said. "We apologize for any inconveniences."
CSS solved its technical problems in time to show the second half.

Showing awareness and acknowledgment of the devastating disease is the first step in winning the battle once and for all. Together we can make a difference!
