It makes no sense for Apple to do that. Google is only doing this, because manufactures and carriers take forever to update the phones, while Apple has complete control. Google knows that manufactures take a while to build there software for the updated version, and then carriers take even longer, adding bloatware and other stuff. Apple doesn`t have to worry about that. If there were bugs to fix in a certain app, they could just release a software update, they don`t need to have the apps separate. It just doesn`t make sense.
Would you like Apple to move built-in apps to the App Store? [Poll]
The iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad currently come pre-installed with range of apps including Messages, Calendar, Photos, Camera, Clock, Maps, Videos, Notes, Reminders, Game Center, Newsstand, iTunes Store, App Store, Settings, Mail, Safari, and music. None of those apps can be downloaded from the App Store, nor can they be deleted. They simply are. But what if that changed? What if Apple still pre-installed those same apps, but updated them via the App Store?
Perhaps Apple can already update built-in apps outside of firmware updates, perhaps not. To date they haven't taken advantage of any such functionality. They haven't pushed out a new version of just Safari to patch a vulnerability or exploit. They haven't pushed out a new version of mail to add a clever new feature. They haven't pushed out a new version of Game Center to remove those super-annoying "[Your soon-to-be-former-friend] has challenged you to [scummy app you'll now be avoiding]." When there's a long gap between iOS updates, there's a long gap between built-in iOS app updates.
Apple does do this with some of their apps, the non-built in, non-pre-installed ones. iBooks, iTunes U, Podcasts, Remote, Find my Friends, and Find my iPhone are all available from the App Store, and can be updated whenever time allows and need arises.
In a perfect world everything would just update, bit by bit, in the background all the time, and everything would always be up to date. Until we live in that world, do you prefer things the way they are now, with built-in apps tied to iOS updates, or would you prefer having them all in the App Store?

Would you like Apple to move built-in apps to the App Store? [Poll]
I'd probably have said "Meh. Makes no difference to me" rather than "Yes. Every app should be on the App Store" if their products, more often than not, didn't suck so badly or were simply pointless.
But most OS providers are often guilty of loading up their products with substandard apps, rather than risk no one using them at all (rather like cable companies who do packages of stations we don't want either) - and in Apple's case, I guess we can be eternally grateful to whoever talked Jobs of the ledge, when he originally planned to only allow Apple apps on iOS.
I'd love for to to be this way. I think it would be the beginning of moving towards allowing us to choose default apps like we do on our macs.
You never want to be able to delete some of the core functionality of the device. I can see some of them, but the apps that function the hardware (Phone, FaceTime, Camera, Music, etc.) no way. Maybe not have them as app icons, but have them accessible in other ways.

It's not bloatware, very small in size, but it is crap some of us don't need or want.
Someone needs to come up with a word...
I think it just makes the "non-geek", or not tech savvy look like they have a clue!?
I would love this, but it makes no business sense for Apple to do this. The individual app update feature does make a lot of sense however and I really hope they do this. They should also allow users to set defaults apps for mail, browsers and maps; I really want this feature now that Google has stopped Google Sync and I am forced to use the Gmail app; don't get me wrong it's a great app but I'd still like some further integration like Mail.app
Because at the moment the majority of the iPhone users, who are largely clueless about any features beyond the obvious and the built-in, are stuck with the built-in apps and have no reason to stop using them. So why would Apple want to give Google a hand in luring them to the Google ecosystem by giving them more of a choice in what to use?
As I said, I personally would love this, but from a business perspective they would only be losing even more consumers to the Google ecosystem.
Hell, most don't even no how to DELETE their apps, let alone take a picture.
It's just a phone. Their simple amazed by the lack of tactile feel with a touch screen.
Whether they're in the App Store or not, I'd like to see more frequent updates from Apple. Especially with iOS 7 and how quickly they pulled that together I would imagine they didn't get to do everything they wanted to in mail, calendar, etc. Why should we have to wait until iOS 8 to get updates?
Don't you think having all apps available from the App Store would slow down the updates? If the OS apps are integrated into the OS, then that would force Apple to fix other bug issues, along with any app issue that they originally needed to fix, in a update pushed out. So I would rather, for the quality sake of my updates, have the apps stay integrated into the OS.

I checked off "Other" because I'm fine with the way it is now, but it also might be a little more convenient if they change it, as I don't even use most of the built in apps. I have no use for them.
Usually, when apple needs to update iOS because of an app that needs fixes, it doesn't take them very long to do so. It's only an update for a few fixes, it's not like it's a major update with a bunch of new features. So basically, it takes Apple about the same amount of time to come up with a small update for iOS (only for a few fixes), as it does to come up with an update for one of their third party apps. So for me, the only reason I would rather them put the currently permanent apps onto the app store, is that it would give you a choice whether or not I want those apps on my device.
If they are preinstalled, there is really no need to have them in the App Store. If you can delete them and want them back, just reinstall them from 'not on this device'. I'd love more frequent updates, but it ain't gonna happen. It would cut into their claims of a bazillion new features hyperbole when they do their annual ios update.
I think it would be nice to be able to update pre-installed apps on an individual basis. Currently Apple has to issue an OS-level OTA update to fix issues or add features to default apps which requires carrier review/approval/etc. It would be so much easier, for example, just to push out a Safari update to the app store instead of through all the carriers.
There are tons of things i'd like apple to do. They aren't. Hell i wish they'd make itunes not bloated or laggy on windows. Not gonna happen. And if they fix that they'll just break or remove some other very needed feature in order to do something useless like add a colored background.
I voted other just because I would like to see Apple limit the number of stock apps to even less than what they have and put the rest on the App Store. You have to have things like the camera, contacts, music apps, etc built in and there is little need to update them. However, on stuff like maps, notes, etc, just give us the choice. I pretty much use Google maps and Evernote in place of the stock apps but the stock apps are still there cluttering up my device. However they do things in the future, they need to find a way to update stock apps without having to wait for an entire OS update to keep things fresh in a more timely manner. Example: There is no sense sitting on a major camera update for six months or more waiting on the OS update. That has never made any sense.
I want the ability, to remove preinstalled apps that i don't use. I don't know, why we are forced to not remove them. Also, the idea of Rene Ritchie to update apps (Safari or Maps) without pushing an ios update, is excellent. I hope that Apple, will move fast now with the software. They reinvented ios in such a short time so i see no reason for them for being slowly in software updates. I except this year the quick reply sms being added to ios.
I would love this, especially if Apple allowed their stock Phone app to be downloaded. And if it would mean updates to stock apps faster than once a year, then yes.
A clean interface and simplicity. I plan on using an iPad mini 2 as my cell phone come October, and I've been using Google Voice and text+ as my phone solution on my iPad. text+ has a cool (albeit Android) interface, and it's cool. But it has ads with no way to remove them, which is the worst. The Google Voice interface is kind of clunky. It's simply preference (and a little snobbery lol), so yeah. The stock app would be more consistent.
If I could delete them they can come installed. Not being able to delete or even hide some in folders is infuriating.

I'm with you on that! I think it is all fair game for Apple to have their pre-installed apps but there are some that really they should allow the buyer to remove from their phones and then if they then at a later date want to put them back in then allow them to be re-downloaded from the app store.
Things like Newsstand! That is something that I don't use, never have used and I very much doubt I ever will use. Now I know there are many that do make use of it and fair enough they can have it but I would love to be able to remove it or at least make it hidden so that I don't have to see an ugly fake wooden rack. Same with Passbook and Game Center.
At least if they don't to allow them to be removed they could at least make them hidden. I can count on less than two fingers the number of times I have run that Game Center and never run passbook or run newsstand and they just blight my little iOS landscape having them there. LOL
A simple solution wouldn't be to delete them, but to allow them to be hidden. You don't want a Noob to accidentally delete the Phone app and you want the Expert to be able to declutter the home screen. Another Idea would be to turn most of the apps into simple buttons and widgets in the Control Center, Notification Center and the Settings app.

Would be cool if we had the option to delete them at least.

The 10-DWI guy in TX has already served 15 years for a previous DWI conviction. Time for more serious stuff...
Saw your comment on the solar piece. Do you regularly vote for articles you like? That piece has only 42 votes, while gas price articles have less.
Love your pic. but I dislike a bud's site without FA. Adios.
Hey buddy, was just passing by and see you never granted me Full Access. Would you?? Thanks, David........QQ
Something is going to give though, and I think this time, we're going to see it go down a bit further. They're not moving the prices up with lots of contracts, which means that the ultra-wealthy, the Bankers [big banks mainly], OPEC, Big Oil, the refiners and the automakers aren't buying their bets on it going up in price, and that's what makes it move up or down more! They can all see that this healthcare BS is hurting more people than it's helping, just like it's hurting me and millions of us who are working class poor.
"it takes about 3 weeks for anyone to see a drop, 5 minutes to see a rise" Actually, it all depends on how much of a price difference there is on the wholesale market, how many contracts are being bought, what's going on in the world and the news that affects oil, gas and energy, etc. It's a combination of factors. About two weeks ago, I warned probably 50 to 100 people here and about 300+ elsewhere on the web that oil and gas were going up on the wholesale markets and to watch out and get gassed up as it would or might be going up at the pump. It went up slightly more, but not significantly enough to make it jump everywhere like it has in the past, say just before the holidays for example. This time, it's really just fluctuating in the range of $2.69 to $2.62 a gallon for gas on the wholesale market; and it'll be up for two to four days and then come down for one to three days.
Happy New Year to you and your family! Still cold up here in the north land!

State board backs revamped school districtsBy JOSH OGORMAN
Vermont Press Bureau | March 27,2014MONTPELIER A bill seeking to consolidate school districts has received the support of the State Board of Education, though not without a voice of dissent.
By a vote of 6-1 Tuesday, the State Board of Education voted to support H.883, a bill in the Vermont House that would abolish supervisory unions and consolidate the states nearly 300 school districts into a series of large expanded districts offering education from pre-kindergarten through grade 12.
The motion, made by student representative and board co-vice chairman Lachlan Francis and seconded by board member Mark Perrin, states the Vermont State Board of Education goes on record as strongly supporting H.883.
It continues: The Board believes it is time to modernize Vermonts educational governance system so that all Vermont students are provided equitable opportunity to prosper and thrive in all Vermont schools. The Board further commits to work with the Vermont Legislature and the Agency of Education to fairly implement the new governance structure.
The bill which can be read online at goo.gl/AnPl0W would give school districts until July 1, 2017 to come up with consolidation plans that would first be subject to approval by the State Board Of Education and ultimately by the voters within the expanded district. Those districts that do not consolidate by that date would be subject to a statewide plan that would be created by a design team, with members appointed by the Senate, the House and Gov. Peter Shumlin.
The bill was passed Friday by the House Committee on Education and introduced on the House floor Tuesday, when it was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Stephan Morse, chairman of the State Board of Education, voted in favor of the motion to support the bill. As chairman, Morse typically does not cast a vote, but did so in this case.
I think its the most important piece of educational legislation we have seen in some time, Morse said. We must provide educational opportunities to all children statewide, and this is an essential change to our educational governance system.
The motion did not receive across-the-board support. Board member William Mathis, who alone voted against supporting the bill, spoke Wednesday of his opposition to the consolidation plan.
It replaces Democracy with bureaucracy, said Mathis, who was superintendent of the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union for 27 years and is the managing director of the National Education Policy Center, which deals with policies surrounding school consolidation.
Among Mathis criticisms of the bill is the idea that local school boards will be abolished in favor of a single, district-wide board.
By eliminating school boards, you are eliminating local voice and local control, he said. You are taking power away from the school board and giving it to some distant entity.
The bill does include provisions to create advisory committees for each school, who would work with the local representative on the district-wide board. Mathis said these advisory committees are no substitute for school boards.
If you establish a group and you give them no authority, what good will it do? he said.
Mathis spoke in favor of the current supervisory union structure of school governance.
For an incredibly strange governance structure, its done a lot of good things, in terms of centralizing accounting, transportation and special education, Mathis said.
Vermont does very well by its students in terms of education, he said, and I would argue that it is not in spite of the governance structure, but because of it.

ELKIN - One of the new inductees for the Surry County Sports Hall of Fame is a baseball player whose career easily could have slipped away in the annals of history.
Kelly Jack Swift was a remarkable pitcher who put together a great minor-league career while still tending a tobacco farm in Mountain Park.
Despite his legendary status on Tobacco Road in the early 1950s, Jack Swift's career might have been forgotten if not for a couple of incidents.
One of them was the nomination of the Chatham Blanketeers for the Ring of Honor for the 2011 class. Research into those teams revealed several great athletes, some of whom could enter the Hall of Fame as individuals.
Chatham Manufacturing sponsored a women's basketball team and a men's baseball team. Among the standouts who played for the baseball team was Shorty Brown, the team's leading hitter, who married his sweetheart Jo Barnette at home plate in 1950.
Brown batted .370 that year to win the Blue Ridge League's batting title. That feat earned him a photograph in The Sporting News right next to a shot of Mickey Mantle, a youngster who would move up from the minors to the New York Yankees the next year.
When talking about some of his former teammates, Brown would mention Swift as one of the toughest pitchers he ever faced.
"When he stepped in against Swift during batting practice, he could only shake his head," Brown told Chris Ballard and Elkin's own Owen Good for Sports Illustrated. "I don't think I ever got so much as a foul ball off of him," Brown told them.
Ballard and Good wrote a story about Swift's life and career for an Oct. 17, 2011, issue.
Good is a 1991 graduate of Elkin High School and worked with Ballard on the story after hearing of the other angle that brought Swift's career to light.
About 30 years ago, Bill Eggleton was playing with a metal detector and found a ring a few inches down in the ground.
Eggleton kept the ring for three decades until he saw a comment on a baseball website. Swift's daughter, Becky Luffman, was researching his career and was asking on the website for any information on Kelly Jack Swift.
That was the name engraved on the inside of the ring awarded to the 1955 Southern Association Championship team, the Memphis Chickasaws. Eggleton reached out to the family by phone and gave the ring back to Luffman in 2010.
After hearing that fantastic story, Sports Illustrated dug deep into the history books and newspaper clippings and discovered that Swift held a mark for wins in the minors that hasn't been equaled since.
Upon hearing that Swift would be inducted into the Hall of Fame, Ballard was pleased to have been able to play a part in the research and agreed to let passages from his article be used here.
When Swift was a student at Mountain Park School, the Swifts leased about 200 acres of farmland in the Mountain Park/Zephyr area.
At an early age Swift was struggling to hold a plow steady in the rows, work that some believed might have helped build up his powerful pitching frame.
The summer before his senior year, a businessman from Mount Airy heard of Swift's pitching prowess and offered the young man $5 to pitch a game for a semipro team.
First he had to plow three acres, then he went out and threw a 2-0 shutout. It was such a performance that the businessman asked if Swift wanted to pitch the second game of a doubleheader, too.
He did and gave up just one run in nine innings. In all he plowed three acres and pitched 18 innings with a 0.50 ERA.
After high school, Swift started playing with a semipro team, but was drafted to serve in World War II.
After four years of service, he was 26 years old when he returned to baseball, although he told people he was 24.
He pitched well for the Philadelphia A's and was climbing up through the minors before an arm injury hurt his production.
Without all the modern medical care of today, all Swift could do was rest it. He couldn't afford to lose the monthly paycheck, however, and kept pitching even as his ERA suffered.
The A's gave up on him, and he found himself back home and playing for the Blanketeers.
With a sickly baby at home, Swift had to return to working his farm in addition to playing ball.
In 1952 at age 32, he was a starter in the league All-Star Game and posted a 19-12 record with a team-leading 2.31 ERA.
In 1953, he played for a team out of Marion and put together a season for the ages.
In the last game of the season, he helped the Marion Marauders win the league title with his 30th win against just seven losses.
Everyone in the bleachers and standing around the field knew that Swift was closing in on the 30-win mark.
"You'd have to walk a country mile to get to the ballpark on the nights he played," Luffman said of her father.
He finished the season with a 2.54 ERA and 321 strikeouts in 287 innings, while appearing in an astonishing 52 out of a possible 108 games.
He remains the last minor league pitcher to win 30 games; a feat that is likely never to be reached again as teams have gone with five-man rotations and pitch counts.
Swift's own manager said he would pitch every night if he would let it happen. Sometimes he had blisters so bad that he would leave blood stains on the baseball.
At the end of the season, Swift told a local news reporter: "I don't know whether I'll pitch again next year or not. … I'll tell my wife in the fall that I'm quitting. Then about February she'll find me out in the yard, tossing a ball against the side of the house.
"'What are you up to?' she'll say.
"'Oh, I thought I'd limber up a little bit,' I'll tell her."
He would go on to pitch until he was 38, but that 1953 season will be the one that endures.

Apple I auction: new york
What: Fine Books and Manuscripts Auction
When: Friday, June 15
Where: Sotheby's
This Friday, Sotheby's will auction not only one of the first Apple computers, but one that's still working.
As technology seems to advance exponentially, a functioning Apple I computer is now exceptionally rare—in fact it's believed there are only 6 in working condition out of less than 50 in existence.
Purchased for $500 in 1976, the year Apple was created in Palo Alto by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, it's now referred to as an artifact and comes with the original cassette interface and a rare BASIC users' manual.
While the motherboard is expected to fetch over $100,000, accessories—such as a monitor, a keyboard, and power supply—are not included.

THe Vepr has two lugs.
Vepr II .308 is a Keeper!
Freedom is not free. Some will perish to preserve it for the many. Just as our Forefathers did before us, we must take up the battle and not waver. Victory is our only option.
Today I did some measuring between a 7.62 AMD, 7.62 Romy, and a 5.45 Bulg. bolt lugs. The AMD and Romy were within .001 of each other so we will just call them the same. The 5.45 has the smaller stem then the 7.62. What I'll call the small lug is the one away from the extractor. The width and height are the same between them on either caliber. The difference is in the length. The AMD/Romy is .402 long and the 5.45 is .551 long. The large lug where the extractor is located is .611 long on the AMD/Romy and .720 long on the 5.45. The bolt face hole on the AMD/Romy is .458 and the 5.45 is .400. Both would need to be opened to around .475 for the 308.
Rbthntr64, does that sound like the measurements on the Vepr? Also didn't the Saiga 308 use a small stem bolt?
Math isn't my greatest subject either so, someone check these figures.
In the other thread 1biggun asked about bolt thrust at 42,000 cup on a .308 and 50,000 cup on a 7.62x39. I found a formula to convert cup to psi. Now this will only be a ballpark figure as there are +/- in both cup and psi. So hitting either end of the +/- could give different results. The formula is Cup x 1.516 -17902 = PSI. So, taking your .308 at 42,000 cup should be around 45,770 psi. The 7.62 at 50,000 cup should be around 57,898 psi. Now we need to figure the square inch we have touching the bolt head. The .308 is .473 inch across so, the radius is .2365. We take .2365x.2365x3.14=.175 square inch of area (I think). The 7.62 is .444 inch across so the radius is .222. So .222x.222x3.14= .154 square inch of area. Now we can take the psi x the area to find the amount of pressure on the bolt. For the .308 at 42,000cup/45,7700psi the force on the bolt is 8009 pounds. The 7.62 at 50,000/57,898psi the force is 8916 pounds. If we bumped the .308 up to 60,000 psi the force is 10,500 pounds. Now none of these figures take in to account the friction between the brass case and steel camber. These are just pressure figures at a certain pressure on a certain area.
now we are getting some were. great work. I have not seen the formula for converting C.U.P to PSI every thing I had read said there was no direct comparison must be why the + - disclaimer
just for a direct comparison what differance does the bolt head make in loads of the same pressure. lets use the hottest safe load in the current Lyman book for the 7.62 x39 of 44,700CUP of rx7 powder moving a 123 grain bullet at 23,000 fps versus the 308 win with 44,700 CUP with the same bullet. (apples to apples)
308 load is suprisingly aprox 700 fps faster. the 7.62 was shot from a 20" barrel the 308 was from a 24" these are bolth puplished loads. the 308 has loads starting at aroud 29,000 cup to 52,100 for this bullet. sorry for listing every thing in C.U.P but all the 7.62x39 loads I have in writting by a repitubal sourace are C.U.P specs. the 308 has loads listed bolth ways but not for each load.
Saiga 308 uses the small stem.Extractor side lug is the same as Bulgy 74 ~.720.The ejector side lug is .100 longer on the 308-.645.Most of that is a ramp to help rotate the bolt.Bolt face hole looks like .478.Bottom part that strips the rounds is the same as a 47 width/depth wise, of course the Saiga has the little (third)sorta lug projecting down off the rear left side .The Saiga bolt was ~.050 wider across the two main lugs with little reliefs cut into the lugs to clear the upper rails as it would have been to wide to fit the ~.980 width opening for the bolt carrier.It would not enter a regular AK trunnion until I milled off the .025 per side in a rotary table.
It's only metal, it's not magic.
I am going to back of my statment of known safe loads by saying thy are LYMAN puplished loads. I have know idea if they are safe in a AK47. they may only suitable in a bolt action there is no mention as to what action sks, AK or bolt action they were shot in. I suspect they are ok but I just dont want to miss lead any one if I dont have cold hard facts.
im going to talk with a couple of the engineers tomorrow at work and get them to do some calculations with the trunnions and bolts and see if they can come up with some shear numbers for the parts. ill post what they come up with asap, they do this stuff every day for industrial equipment, and i would put a lot of faith in whatever they come up with
then we can compare those numbers to the bolt thrust numbers we've come up with
has anyone tried to find out what kind of numbers the "strict european pressure tests" used in deciding the romy 308's couldnt be sold to the public
Here's a link to the pdf article on the cup/psi conversion if you want to take a look at it.
I'm not an engineer, don't play one on tv, and didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so take the above info with a grain of salt. Bert01's engineers may say that everything is BS. I know that there is software out there that the engineers can use to test stress and how a metal will hold up over a certain number of duty cycles. Maybe we can get some help in sorting all this out.
Looking at the different calibers:
The 5.45 pushes a 60 grain bullet at around 2900fps. Surface area is around .120 square inch.
The 7.62 pushes a 123 grain at around 2350fps.
The .308 pushes a 147 grain at around 2800fps.
These are the figures for the 7.62 and .308 are from PCM, UMC, Winchester white box, and American Eagle as these are probably the ammo that someone would just walk in and buy at the store. If we could find the pressures that these rounds are running then that might give us a chance to compare apples to apples. Does anyone know the data on the Yugo .308 ammo?
Here's a link about the CIP and SAAMI standards for 9mm. It goes into some detail about the two. The CIP lists their loads as MPa (which 1 MPa = 145.0377psi), but the post states that you should not convert the two.
some good info here on SAAMI specs http://www.frfrogspad.com/miscellk.htm shows the max PSI for the 7.62 at only 45,000 psi?? US made weapons would have a max proof done at 63,000 psi. I am suprised that my Lyman book shows MAX loads of 44,700 C.U.P which would be 50,318 PSI +- according to the above formula. makes me wonder? I am sure there are people out there using these loads in there AK,s what is reasuring to me is there is a load listed using WIN 748 powder listed as a max load only making 43,200 C.U.P and pushing a 150 grain bullet at 2996 fps this is a huge increase over the 7.62x39 in bolth performance and and knock down power a perfect deer hunting round. this converts to 47,589 PSI and only about 2,589 PSI over the SAAMI spec for a store bought sold in the USA AK 47 ! dont all guns sold as US made have to meet the SAAMI specs?? I think this load would possably be ok even on a ROMMY build. I am thinking more and more about turning my case heads down to fit the bolt and doing a quick Rommy 308 build. turning the head would prevent accidental loading of a 60,000 PSI load. which by the way would still be under what the gun would be proof tested at in the USA.

LAS CRUCES: NMSU Aggies Are Tough Enough to Wear Pink organizers have announced that cash and in-kind contributions totaling $593,992 has been raised for Cowboys for Cancer Research.
The contribution will be presented at halftime of the 10/19/13 NMSU versus Rice football game. Accepting the contribution from TETWP co-chairs Pat Sisbarro, Laura Conniff, Magellia Boston and Lynda Garcia will be NMSU President Garrey Carruthers, NMSU Biologist Dr. Jeff Arterburn and the members of the C4CR Committee..
"The question everyone asks is about how much money we raised this year," said Laura Conniff, "and that's fair because dollars are how we all keep score. Yes, the amount presented tonight is a few thousand dollars less than last year but no one is disappointed. The generosity of Las Cruces has once again proved itself. We are humbled and so very grateful."
According to organizers, the 2012 TETWP contribution to C4CR announced at the half time presentation was $603,517. That number, however, grew to $659,737 by year end because $56,220 in additional donations was added after the football game.
"We never start out with a dollar amount in mind. From day one, our goals have been raising awareness and raising funds. One is never been more important than the other," said Pat Sisbarro. "If one life is saved because the pink fashion show or the Aggie's wonderful pink jerseys inspired a woman to get a mammogram, we've all done our jobs."

GOODY, Ky. – The Belfry Pirates always have a goal to win a state championship. The program has been built to where it can compete every season.
Coach Philip Haywood and his staff have led their team to the Class 3A final, which will be played at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green.
Belfry has a rematch with Central High School of Louisville. Central edged by Belfry 15-14 last year in a heartbreaker for the diehard Pond Creek Nation and the Pirates team.
Belfry, like other teams, started back in late July to get to this point. This is where they wanted to be.
"It's been a long haul," Haywood said. "A lot of people early in the year made their predictions and said we had a shot at being back there again."
"I think we've proven that to be true, but it wasn't as easy as everyone made it sound," Haywood added. "We graduated seven off of our starting offense last year. We had some guys with some experience and that had got to play some. But, that is a big difference than starting."
"Still, you have to mesh your different personalities and learn to work hard," Haywood said. "You have to get past those pre-season expectations. It doesn't matter what the expectations are – you have to work. I think we finally got to that point somewhere late in the season."
Of course a lot of people have asked the longtime Belfry mentor about his opponent in the championship game.
"From one year to the next they don't change much," Haywood said. "They may tweak some things on offense based on their personnel."
"But defense is their trademark and they are going to put 11 good athletes out on the field," he stressed. "They can really run. They play great defense and great special teams."
"Offensively they are going to have four or five kids who can take it to the house. They are also going to have good athletes on offense," Haywood said. "this year they have a great quarterback (Tae Shawn Gibbs) who can run. He is a good passer, but he can fly and can run the option."
"They have a good strong tailback (Derius Jones) who is fast," Haywood said of Central. "He is different than what they had last year. This kid played some against us last year. They mix it up and they control the ball."
"But, their trademark is defense," said Haywood. "Nobody has scored much on them. They have just great speed. You can block well, but they have guys that can run you down from the back side."
The starting lineup for Belfry will likely be quarterback Sani Warren, Josh Robinson, Trinity Carr and Austin Hatfield in the backfield, Tony Messer at tight end and Eli Huddle at split end. Cameron Johnson will see time at split end, while Keaton Taylor and Davontae Dari could see action at running back.
The offensive line will see Mackey Francis at center, Zach Taylor and James May at guards and Derrick Jude and Antonio "Tuffy" Willis at the tackle positions. Zack Lester, Joey Duty and Michael Barnes could see action on the offensive line.
On defense, the strong side linebacker is Madison Ghormley, while the outside backer is Payton Mullins. Along the defensive line are Messer, Duty, Barnes, Hayden Hatfield and Nick Bunch. The secondary is Warren, Robinson, Johnson and Zack Thacker.
Keilan Carr is the place kicker, while Keaton Taylor handles the punting. Johnson is the long snapper, while Taylor and Robinson are the kickoff and punt return specialists.
Belfry won state titles in football in 2003, when the team finally triumphed at the Kentucky Class 2A State Championships. They repeated the feat in 2004.
Due to re-alignment, Belfry is now a 3A football school, and came in runner-up in the state championship in 2008, 2010 and 2011 to Central High School of Louisville.
Belfry was going to practice early today and then head out to Western Kentucky and spend the night. They will return Friday after the game.
The game is at Houchens Stadium in Bowling Green and will start at 3 p.m. Central Time, which will be 4 p.m. EST. Western Kentucky University. The game can be heard on East Kentucky Broadcasting radio stations.

Nine is fine
Wando High School Band won its ninth consecutive 5A State Marching Band Championship in Irmo Saturday night with an overall score of 96.35.
"I'm really proud of our students for their two wonderful performances at state contest. It's very rare to be able to say that performances are "artistic" in marching band, but our students were artistic and played very musically. This has been a wonderful marching season and the students worked extremely hard to continue the tradition of excellence," said Band Director Scott Rush. More photos at www.MoultrieNews.com.

While the I-485 is pending, and until adjustment is approved, a scholar already working for NYU in H-1B status can retain that status as long as the I-797 is still valid and s/he is working at NYU under the terms of the petition filed. If it appears that the six years in H-1B status will expire before the I-485 is adjudicated, a scholar whose Labor Certification or I-140 was filed at least 365 days before the expiration of the sixth year in H-1B status, may, if the I-140 is still pending, extend the H-1B visa beyond the six-year maximum, in one-year increments, until the Adjustment of Status is adjudicated. A scholar who wishes to work for or receive honoraria from an employer(s) other than NYU before the I-485 is adjudicated, can apply, concurrent with submitting the I-485 or while it is pending, for an employment authorization document (EAD) from USCIS and receive work authorization in 1-2 year increments. An application for employment is made on Form I-765. The fee is included in the I-485 fee and covers any subsequent extensions. USCIS is required to process EADs within 90 days. Using an EAD technically terminates one's H-1B status though a scholar can regain H-1B status by traveling and reentering the U.S. with valid H-1B documents.
Note: When both EAD and Advance Parole (per below) are requested, they are now issued in one document.
Individuals in H-1B or H-4 status often need to travel internationally while an I-485 is pending. There are two possibilities for the scholar and his or her dependents.
Employees in O or E status must apply for Advance Parole as they cannot retain O/E status once they re-enter the U.S. after having filed an I-485.

Hand distressed leather heeled ankle boots with leather strap going around entire ankle. The adjustable antiqued peg closure around ankle allows the top of the boot to be worn up or folded down to expose the contrast lining. The pegged ankle strap is also the closure to get in and out of the boot.
The artisan leather used is black color with a hint of distressed brown. The washing of the leather brings out the rich brown tones from the black leather base, as well as making it feel super soft and luxurious. Because of the hand finishing treatment, the tones of black and brown will vary. Stacked leather hell with raw unpolished leather hat has been given an aged look. Leather sole.
**Special Sizing Note: It is recommended that you size one up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by misskitty It's a Love/Hate Thing These boots are just as gorgeous and well-made in person as they look in the pictures...except that the heels and sole are NOT distressed, which is an easy fix with a bit of sandpaper. This is the love part. However, they are incredibly small-fitting. I can sometimes fit size 41, which is roughly equivalent to North Amercian size 10.....BUT these are too small to even get on my foot....very small fitting, but the front of the boot seems wider than most boots (which for me would be a great thing since I have wide feet). This is the hate part....I hate that I will not be able to wear them....I may keep them anyway just because they are SO beautiful to look at! If you normally wear a size 39 or 40, the 41 would probably fit you nicely, especially if you wear size 39. Note to Free People: PLEASE make your boots in larger sizes. In this case, size 43 would probably have fit me (and lots of other people). ⥠12.8.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Ky Something just isn't right My friend got these in the mail the other day, didn't like them much, and asked me if I'd like to try them out (and pay her for them if I did like them). I must say I did not like the styling of them at all. I know the picture makes them look a brownish color, but the ones I tried on seemed much darker. I didn't think the quality of leather was very nice either, which is such a shame because that really is what a person is paying for. They were a bit difficult to pull on, which I could attribute to the sizing. I know the treatment that leather goes through makes it smell a bit, especially when it's new, but my god. If it had worked out I would have gotten some lemon scented leather cleaner in an attempt to reduce the smell. I really wanted to like these. I really did! But it just didn't work out. 8.19.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Laurelskye Looks like the photo I wear an 8.5/39 and when I got my 39, they were tight for me to get into. I sent them back and got the 40 and for me, the 40 was perfect. The sole and heel on the second pair were not at all distressed as in the photo, but that can easily be remedied with a little sandpaper. They are very comfortable. Seems to be all leather lined, but there is nothing on the box that describes the materials or where they were made. The inside flap is a very nice , solid distressed tan,very complimentary. I will keep them, they are soft and comfy, and stylie. Has a fairly round toe. I took a point off my rating because the heel is poor quality, since it's dark, it blends, but it's not nearly as good as my Fiorentini boots, which I think these are a knock off of. The label on these boots say "free people", etched in the sole, So I guess they are now in the "shoe business" of manufacturing. 11.21.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by C I'm a size 7 and 37 fit me Yes, they are narrow and hard to get on the first few times. A shoe horn would come in handy. However, the length was fine, and while they are a bit narrow, they broke in quickly for me. I'm glad I didn't size up. They would be way too long if I had. By the way, I'm almost always a 7 for reference (bought these in 37). I can pull of a 6.5 but never an 8 and my feet are c width. 1.11.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Alexafp so awesome These boots are seriously stunning. The leather is so nice. They do smell a little bit, but I'm sure that will go away with wear. I got the 37 and I usually wear a 6 -6.5 and then fit well (a little tight, but I'm sure when I wear them more they'll stretch). The only problem I have with them is that the pair I received has some weird mark on the front that is definitely not part of the leather... not sure what it is or wear it came from :/ I went to get another pair and return these but they're out of my size. I'm going to keep them though because they're super cute and I hope somehow I can figure out how to get rid of that mark! 12.6.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by malchen Not bad, but not great These boots are beautiful. I would like to start off by saying that. The first time I wore them I already had compliments on them, but for the price they are at, I found that there were too many problems with these boots for me to be completely satisfied. First off, these boots have no traction whatsoever on the ball of the foot area. When I first slipped these on, I had almost fallen on the wooden floor of my apartment. When you walk around to prevent slippage, your feet just don't feel right! Not impressed. There is also hardly any arch support. I have pretty flat feet so I can only imagine how large the gap is between the sole of the boot and the arch of the foot. I will have to buy some inserts and grips for the bottoms of the boots, but at the price these babies are at, I really shouldn't have to. Oh yes, and I'm not sure if this would bother you, but these shoes are loud. I thunder across campus in them. For reference, I am always a size 7 and sized up after reviews said to and got the 38. They fit fine in terms of foot size, but as I said before, they're not very supportive. Yet despite all of this, I will be keeping these. They truly are beautiful and I love the distressed look of the leather. They look fantastic dressed up or down, skinny jeans or a dress. This will be a very versatile item to add to my wardrobe. 10.29.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by graphitempire STUNNNING These are amazing boots. I am so pleased that I bought them despite the hefty price- it was worth every penny! They stay comfortable throughout the day even though I'm not used to wearing many heeled shoes (I'm 6' tall without them) but I don't feel unstable or like I'm towering any more than usual over people. Definitely recommended, they look beautiful in person and the leather is supple. The only complaint I would say is that they did take a little time to stretch into place. After a few wears they were comfortable, just a little tight on the sides of my feet and I don't have wide feet. Overall, amazing product and I couldn't be happier! 9.15.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sdr206 Gorgeous The studio pics do the color of these beauties more justice. Deep rich brown. Casual, rustic, cool, yet elegant. So versatile :) 9.12.2013

This is the portable mosquito repeller that provides relief from the airborne pests in any outdoor setting. Slightly larger than a soda can, the cordless device stands unobtrusively on a patio table or picnic bench and automatically emits the safe, subtle floral scent of geranium, peppermint, and lemongrass, plant-derived essential oils that naturally repel mosquitoes, gnats, and midges. The unit eliminates the need to apply chemical-based sprays and its integrated fan distributes the repellent to provide protection from mosquitos across a 15' x 15' area. The included scented cartridge (more available below) provides up to 18 hours of protection and the unit is powered by the included two AA batteries that provide up to eight hours of use.

Does Not Work
By Sandy
from Salt Lake City, UT
This product absolutely did not work. I sat next to it, gave it the required time to work, and yet had many mosquito bites within an hour. There were two of us and my friend was bitten also.

Doesn't seem to be effective.
By Dr. Joe
from Newtown Square, PA
Tried it for the first time last weekend early evening when mosquito's are plentiful. My wife got around 7 bites in 1 hour. Had the unit only 3 feet from her on the deck where she was sitting. Clearly discouraged but I'll try it again...

Pleasant smell
By kjd
from Bath Ontario Canada
Unit is easy to use and the smell is pleasant. we found it depended where we placed as to how effect it worked. If placed under the picnic table it worked on your legs, if you had it sitting up higher it helped the upper body to be protected. might work better in a dinning tent rather then under an awning of a fifth wheel.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Didn't take the bite out
By Pete the title guy
from Pennellville, NY
I used the product three times on very still nights. The mosquito's had no problem finding me. I was sitting right next to the product which was on a table. It kept the mosqiuito's away from it only.

Quite effective against mosquitoes, now even more important because of the West Nile virus. The small deadly aromatherapy for insects works.The cost is less than the expensive electricity models that advertise well but do not work.
Need Ear Plugs
By Budha
from ontario, Canada
Bought this item for camping. Started out great, sound didn't seem to loud, but once darkness hit in the provincial park, the wardens came around twice to tell us to turn off this device. It was to loud to run. Item works very well at repelling the bugs. Never seen before mosquitos drop dead from the air on to the table with this running. Just not happy with the noise level.

In memory of Phil Everly, who passed away in January of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the 2014 Annual Music Masters will create awareness for the disease, which affects an estimated 24 million individuals in the United States. The progressive lung diseases include emphysema, chronic bronchitis, refractory (non-reversible) asthma, and some forms of bronchiectasis. Despite being the third leading cause of death in the United States, there is very little research funding for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. COPD is a preventable and treatable disease but the lack of research, awareness and education has resulted in millions of unnecessary hospitalizations, complications and even deaths of patients. The COPD Foundation's mission is to prevent and cure COPD and to improve the lives of all people affected by COPD.

I've seen it do fantastic things. I have stage iv breast cancer that has spread to abdomen and bone marrow. I was literally starving to death and using a vaporizer enabled me to eat again. But I didn't start fleshing out again until I started eating a gram of that oil every day.
Since the science is definitely there with cannabis and cancer, and I just couldn't get this out of my head, I just had to give it a try. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Still easier to try than chemo, which most certainly doesn't work all the time either. :) At least this won't damage my body and I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is to just not be thinking about cancer all the time, which is another great side effect. :)

Im in California and use Harborside in Oakland and what you need is in there right now, a ultra high cbd and thc thick grease in one gram viles, they also have a heavy sativa based grease but thats not what you want, you want a high % of cbds = afgan. Honey Oils went away for awhile but I notice they are back. I would look into the baby bottle warmer technique that Skunk just ran as it requires allot less flower and chemicals making it allot safer. Ill be following this thread if you need anything get ahold of me I feel for ya. We just lost our mom two weeks ago and we scrambled to find the oil but could not. I believe in it as well. I treated a wart on my finger, 5 year old and had tried everything before. Worked in a couple days.
I am currently treating myself by injesting 1/4 gram a day.
Our most powerfull medicine on the planet.
I wish you the very best.

This is not a chemical free process. Butane has many heavy metals and other impurities. Even after evaporating all of the butane off, there are still trace elements left behind. I have read the testimonials and i do believe that cannabis is an amazing healer and can aid cancer patients, but have you tried any other extracts that arent made with butane? How about an extremely strong glycerin based indica tincture that has been curing for many months? I do not know of any cancer aiding testimonials that go along with an extremely strong glycerin tincture, but it may be worth a try.

Actually, Rick does not recommend butane ... he recommends naptha or iso, but I use Everclear. The oil I'm using is made from organically grown mostly indica and Everclear. :)

If you are making your own... The price of making this is dependent on the price and quality of the flowers you use...
The pure naphtha method is the most potent...
The Butane method is acceptable too... Its potency is not as much but works well .....

One dose is a drop the size of a BB will last up to 10 to 12 hours of calm pain relief... Its so strong you can take to much.... You will know because you will get a wavy tingling body high... Won't let you sleep...
So start out small and work your way up...

I am not sure what to think of Mr. Simpson's claims. But for those interested here you go. In the April edition of High Times there is an editorial written by Dr. Lester Grinspoon entitled "Medical Marijuana: A Note of Caution," he states that 'There is no present evidence [cannabis] cures any of the many different types of cancer.'
It is a thought provoking piece. It can be read online at High Times. Here is the link. High Times > Medical Marijuana: A Note of Caution

I can, I can! I've been using it for Stage IV breast cancer. I was totally emaciated, having lost all body fat and lots of muscle. Within two months of being on the oil, I have gained 14 pounds (there is no medical treatment for cachexia). I feel awesome and three of my four elevated tumor markers have dropped back into normal ranges.
And i won't use naptha, butane, or iso for my ingestion ... I use Everclear.

This is Great News.... May your prayers be answered...
We have survived late stage 3 Breast Cancer too.. Been clean for 10yrs now...
Don't let the info hear stop you from using the Naphtha grade.
We used the Butane for a long time. I found that the Naphtha version is so much stonger for Medical use and can last up to 12 hours on a single dose.. I have found nothing else to be as strong or effective yet...
My wife and I both use it... The Wife uses every day for Neropathy Pain which is a symptom that comes from the Poisonous Chemo treatments.... IT never went away after the treatments and still exists today even after 10yrs...

Thursday, July 3, 2014
Dorchester County Council approved spending about $247,000 from the County Stormwater Fee Fund Balance to buy a half-acre parcel in the Trotters Ridge subdivision from Tom and Evyonne Thurman.
Council made the decision during a special called meeting Monday, June 30. Council voted 4-1-2 on a motion made by Councilman David Chinnis and seconded by Councilman George Bailey. Councilmen Jay Byars, Chinnis, Larry Hargett, and Chairman Bill Hearn voted in favor, Councilwoman Carroll Duncan voting against, and Councilmen George Bailey and Willie Davis abstained from the vote.
The motion calls for the county to purchase the property for the sum of $247,000 the appraised value of the property together with usual and customary closing costs. It also included a caveat that the deal is contingent on the Thurmans executing at closing a release and covenant not to sue Dorchester County.
The decision, say councilmembers, was not an easy one to make; however, it seemed to be the most expedient and least expensive way to handle a situation the present county council has inherited. The problem, which goes back a number of years, is chronic flooding in the Trotters Ridge neighborhood, located off Butternut Road adjacent to the Pine Forest subdivision.
Periodically, whenever the area experiences a heavy rain, several properties along Trotters Club Way flood. Over the years the county has made some improvements in the area, most notably to the sewer system to help prevent sewage overflow that sometimes occurred during flooding events.
The Thurmans property, which is located at the base of a cul-de-sac, backs up to Rumphs Hill Creek, which runs between the Trotters Ridge and Pine Forest subdivisions. That property has experienced the most significant flooding problems, said county officials.
To conduct a study of Rumphs Hill Creek itself would cost at least half a million dollars and the county might or might not be able to address problems due to a variety of regulatory, jurisdictional, and other such issues, Hearn said. However, by purchasing the Thurman property, the county can directly address some of the drainage problems in the area by making some improvements to the property.
County Administrator Jason Ward said the plan is to remove the house from the property and return the property to a more natural state that will go a long way in alleviating the drainage issues.
With the topography the way it is, water wants to be there, so we want to return the property to a state where it can handle that, he said.
The county expects to close on the property within the next 30-60 days, said County Attorney John Frampton.
Council also voted to grant a contract to Susan Davis to serve as Delinquent Tax Collector for the county for the month of July.
Davis, who retired effective June 30, will continue in the position on this temporary contract until council can finish the appointment process, which is already underway. Council is currently reviewing applications for the position.
