Believing that Carroll County is owed more than $10 million in delinquent taxes, the Carroll County Board of Supervisors wants to look at better ways to collect back taxes.
During the board's Jan. 14 meeting, supervisors unanimously approved a motion to put the subject of delinquent taxes on its February agenda to get a list of delinquent taxes and to see how much the county is owed. The motion also called for Treasurer Bonita Williams to attend the meeting.
Supervisor Sam Dickson began the discussion by expressing frustration over the board not receiving a complete list of delinquent taxes, a topic it has visited frequently in recent years. County Attorney Jim Cornwell noted that some properties were turned over, but not all of them.
"Well, did we not ask for a complete list? Have we done everything the state said we have to do to get this list? What other steps are there to do this? And the reason I am asking that, I have a paper here, The Declaration, for every delinquent tax list in Grayson County," Dickson said. "They evidently can get a list, why is it we can't get a list? Are we doing something wrong or what?"
Cornwell explained there is a statutory requirement that the Treasurer provide a list by the end of the fiscal year at the request of the board. The board requested a list at the end of the last fiscal year, but it has not been given, Cornwell said. So if it doesn't happen, there is nothing the board can do, Dickson asked?
"If you want to proceed on some issue you could, but I guess what I am saying to you is bring action to Circuit Court or you could talk to the Treasurer," Cornwell said.
Dickson said he would suggest the board ask for the list again. He couldn't see where the problem was that the board couldn't get the list.
"It is public information," Dickson said. "If somebody went down there and asked for it and FOIA'd it, couldn't they get one?"
Supervisor Josh Hendrick wanted to make it clear that nobody on the board of supervisors wants to take anybody's land. Cornwell has the ability to negotiate payments with folks who are late paying taxes.
"It is not a 'You're late, we are going to take your property.' It is not that all of the personal touch is taken out of this process," Hendrick said. "The goal is to basically get the owed money, but it is not to take everybody's land while they are doing it."
Dickson said he thought it was the board's responsibility to make sure if one person is paying their taxes, that the next person is paying taxes also.
"It is our responsibility to see it is collected once you impose a tax rate," Dickson said. "I would like to see the number. If it is not a large number, maybe we just forget it. If it is a large number, maybe we look at some ways of collecting that."
Hendrick also wanted to make it clear that the legal fee for Cornwell's help in collecting taxes is included in the delinquent tax payment. The county doesn't pay any extra to have Cornwell perform the service, he said.
Cornwell said the statute allows a "tack-on" of 20 percent, so there is no cost to the county for the service. His company collects taxes for several jurisdictions in Virginia. Recently, he presented a check of $2 million of delinquent taxes he collected for Pittsylvania County, as well as a check of $1 million to the City of Petersburg.
"We work out payment plans. To be honest with you, we would rather work out payment plans and get payments than we would to sell the property, especially in today's market. It's more for us, but it also keeps people in their houses," Cornwell said. "It's very, very, very rare that we ever sell a piece of property. I can't remember more than two or three in the past five years."
Hendrick asked Cornwell if he knew the total of delinquent taxes owed to Carroll County. Cornwell said he didn't know it offhand, which led Hendrick to ask if it was more than $10 million.
"I'm sure it is," Cornwell responded.
Supervisor Bob Martin said his 90-year-old mother doesn't "have squat," but she religiously pays her taxes.
"So if David is not paying his, it bothers me too, Sam," Martin said.
Cornwell explained there's a process that has to be followed to collect delinquent taxes. For starters, taxes have to be delinquent by two years or more to be turned over to him. A notice is then sent out giving taxpayers 30 days to work something out, he said. After that, it's advertised in the newspaper for another 30 days. If taxes still aren't paid, title examinations are performed for liens and deeds of trust to make sure the people listed on the tax rolls actually own the property.
"After we run through the whole process it takes us a good four to six months before we can bring lawsuit to sell the property. During that time the taxpayer has ample opportunity to work out payments," Cornwell said. "We try to work payment plans. We try to get it paid off in six months, but there are exceptions to every rule. We don't particularly want to sell the property. We would much rather take payments."
Dickson said every year around tax time he gets the same call from the same lady frustrated that her neighbor doesn't pay any tax on a property. The neighbor has never paid tax on the property because it belonged to their grandmother, who has passed away.
"They have taken the land over, it sits in her name and the tax just keeps piling up. And of course nobody pays it because grandma is gone," Dickson said. "I would just ask this be put on the agenda to find out the amount out for delinquent tax, and if we could get a list and ask the treasurer to attend the meeting. If it needs to be a motion, I will make it as a motion."
Supervisor Tom Littrell seconded the motion. He's been concerned about the issue for some time, and has spoken to two treasurers of other counties to see what they do.
"In our case it is due on December 5 and if not paid on the fifth there is a 10 percent penalty added on at that point. These other counties have a specific date period where they send out a letter, a first notice that the taxes are delinquent," Littrell said. "After a month or two passes, they send a second letter, and then eventually I think in both cases after around August 1 the names of these delinquent taxpayers are published in the newspaper. That is certainly a way to get some interest."
Cornwell said his office finds that localities must stay on top of delinquent taxes to help both the locality and the taxpayer. If a locality doesn't bang on doors, get judgments or garnish salaries, it's easy for taxpayers to get behind.
"By the time we get four, five, six years behind, then the people can't afford it," Cornwell said. "That is difficult for them. Effective collection process I think would not only assist the county in receiving the funds, but also make sure people know they have to come to the table and work out something when they are able to do that instead of getting five, six or seven years behind."
Dickson's motion to put the delinquent tax issue on the February agenda passed unanimously.

Dear Editor:
On Feb. 18, Roper St. Francis Berkeley Hospital representatives spoke to Del Webb's 55+ community about their plans for a hospital in Berkeley County Carnes Crossroad's area near the Route 17 - 176 intersections.
The controversy is ongoing as Trident Hospital alleges that two hospitals in the area, theirs in Moncks Corner, and Roper St. Francis' in Summerville would not reap sufficient patients to be profitable. Therefore, they contend one hospital is doomed to fail.
Roper St. Francis however, provided numerous supporting statistics and insights, which reflect serious research and consideration supporting a successful two-hospital business model. When Trident presented to Del Webb a few months ago, their arguments were conflicting and nonsensical.
Judge John D. McLeod ruled that he found "overwhelming evidence admitted at trial that both hospitals are needed and both hospitals in Berkeley County will be financially successful." He also ruled, "Trident's position that both hospitals will financially fail if both are approved is inconsistent with Trident's financials and its application."
The Del Webb 55+ community is supportive of Roper St. Francis building a hospital at Carnes Crossroads. It is important to note that within Cane Bay Plantation resides Cane Bay High, Middle and Elementary schools, ball fields, Park, swimming pools, the Publix mall, and one day an estimated capacity of 20,000 residents, as well as untold businesses.
There is also ample space to construct a Roper St. Francis Helipad within the Cane Bay Plantation.
Schools and residential development sports programs support a high expectation of injury, in addition to elderly resident's typical physical impacts. It is absurd that Berkeley County's growth projections, which support two hospitals, are not sufficiently clear to Trident regarding the necessity of a Carnes Crossroads area hospital. The judicial system twice approved both hospitals; however, Trident is again attempting to stop Roper St. Francis from building by taking this issue to the South Carolina Court of Appeals.
South Carolina Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell is tasked with overseeing the well-being of the elderly. We ask that the Lieutenant Governor support Cane Bay Plantation residents, including Del Webb's elderly 2,000 resident community, by removing this unreasonable lawsuit from the appellate court and transfer it to the South Carolina Supreme Court for approval of both hospitals in short order and eliminate this long-running debacle. It is estimated that this issue will be in court another 18 months to two years, with an additional two years prior to start of building.
We hope we are still here to see Roper St. Francis Berkeley Hospital come to fruition!

The cloud is an important part of many companies' IT strategies. However, there are many companies that have already made a large investment in infrastructure in their data centers. How can they take advantage of all the cloud has to offer without abandoning their investment? The answer is Cloud Bridge – private, dedicated access to the GoGrid cloud from anywhere.
Connecting to the Cloud
Cloud Bridge is your access point into the GoGrid cloud. It supports Layer 2 connections from cross-connects within a partner data center or with carrier connections from just about anywhere. Cloud Bridge is designed to be simple – just select the port speed you prefer: 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, or 10 Gbps (only in US-East-1). There's also no long-term commitment required to use Cloud Bridge – pay only for what you use and cancel anytime. Traffic across Cloud Bridge is unmetered, so you only pay for access to the port. You also have the option of selecting a redundant setup: Purchase two ports in a redundant configuration and you'll get an aggregate link. Not only will your traffic have physical redundancy, but you'll also get all the speed available to both ports (for example, 2 Gbps of bandwidth with redundant 1-Gbps ports selected). You can access Cloud Bridge from equipment that you have in GoGrid's Co-Location Service, a partner data center (like Equinix via a cross-connect), or from your data center using one of your carriers or with one of our partner resellers.
Why Cloud Bridge
Customers that want to use Cloud Bridge are typically looking to solve the following use cases: (more…) «Connect from Anywhere to the Cloud»

Are you ready for a meteorite?

That is, if 17, 500 miles can be considered a flyby. But by astronomical calculations, the asteroid, which will be crusing into satellite-range of Earth, is something of a near-miss.
Friday morning a meteorite tore through the skies over Siberia, injuring some 1,000 people, mostly from glass shards that exploded from the sonic boom when the big rock entered the atmosphere, according to The New York Times.
It is possible, according to a statement on the NASA website, that the meteorite that rained down on Russia may have been part of the entourage of space rocks accompanying the small asteroid expected to (hopefully) pass by Earth on Friday.

Behind the mic at WSPDWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
It has been a long time, but I know what tough physical labor feels like. I have worked stints landscaping, loading packages for UPS, bussing tables at Bob Evans and assembling beds and furniture for a waterbed store. Guest-hosting a radio show does not align with the physical effort required by those jobs, but as I recently learned, there are myriad ways to define "exhausting."
As part of a new alliance with 1370 WSPD, I have taken on responsibilities as WSPD news director and vacation fill-in guest host for the morning and afternoon programs. To kick off this new era with a trial by fire, I sat in for six straight days while morning show host Fred LeFebvre traveled to Colorado for his mother's 95th birthday. I co-host a weekly one-hour arts and philanthropy show at 6 p.m. Fridays on WSPD, "Eye on Your Weekend," and I have guest-hosted on different shows in the past, but nothing like this six-day commitment.
It helped tremendously that I was guest-hosting during election week; that guaranteed guests, callers and content for most of my time in the chair.
Casual listeners may think a radio news talk host saunters into the studio at 5:45 a.m., grabs the mic at 6 a.m., slams coffee, wings his or her way through three hours filled with news breaks, commercial breaks, traffic breaks and syndicated feature breaks, goes home to nap and then has an open afternoon and evening to write poetry and organize a stamp collection, in between cashing fat checks and navigating groupies.
But in my limited experience, only one or two of those perceptions are true.
My first morning filling in was a Friday, Nov. 1. I started planning and worrying about content nearly one week in advance. Which candidates and nonprofit representatives would I invite on the show? What backup stories would I have ready between guests, or worst case scenario, if a guest failed to show?
Writing a newspaper column for 20 years (I know, you'd think I'd be better at it by now) has trained me to work without the need for instant feedback; it's not like stand-up comedy, where audience reaction can determine the pace and flow of a show.
It is often three full days between the completion of a column and the first time any readers begin calling, emailing or posting comments to Facebook. Radio offers much quicker feedback but it is still not instantaneous; many minutes can pass between a comment and any contact with a caller. Part of the game with live radio, especially for a relative amateur like myself, is to try to judge when conversation is compelling without immediate live response.
During my WSPD stint, the morning show crew of Don Zellers and Adam Ragle were more than integral; they were indispensable members of a team effort to keep a three-hour show on track. Any success I had at hitting news breaks, commercial breaks, traffic breaks and syndicated feature breaks was due entirely to them; the failures were strictly mine.
I was surprised at how completely the three-hour show dominated my mindset throughout the day. Nearly everything I read, watched and heard went through a "Could this be used on the show?" filter. A lot of that may have been the learning curve, but I suspect that it is part of the job; it's not so much show prep for the day as it is a mindset for a profession.
That first Friday went well, with guests such as Dock Treece, who is in the center of a major news story concerning the future of Toledo Express Airport; Toledo City Council candidate Joe Celusta; Toledo Public Schools (TPS) Board of Education incumbent candidate Bob Vasquez; and lifestyle news with guests Casey Pogan of The Town Center at Levis Commons and Suzanne Carroll, who was just 48 hours from her final broadcast of the long-running "Jazz Brunch" radio show. I am comfortable with an interview format and did not leave myself much nonguest time to fill. I ensured that by having the "Eye on Your Weekend" team — film critic James A. Molnar, pop culture Jedi Jeff McGinnis, comic book expert and pulp fiction author Jim Beard and actor/director Matthew Gretzinger — on hand to fill any open air.
The centerpieces for Monday's show were two one-hour interviews with the mayoral candidates, incumbent Mike Bell and Councilman D. Michael Collins. The one-hour format allowed us to focus on the last-minute issues and concerns callers raised and I was grateful for the participation of both men. I asked them both to keep some time open for a return visit on the day after the election, knowing only one of them would have to make the trip to the studio.
Election Day was filled with levy talk; after an interview with Toledo City Council incumbent candidate Adam Martinez, listeners heard from TPS Interim Superintendent Romules Durant, Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority CEO and President Paul Toth and Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities Superintendent John Trunk.
The first three days flew by and I was nine hours into the 18-hour run. I knew the post-Election Day would provide plenty to talk about, but Thursday and Friday were looming large with more air time depending on me and less on guests. I know a host like Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck can fill a week of programming with their opinions and few to no guests if they choose. But operating more from a news platform than an opinion one, and not yet confident in my on-air skills, I was hesitant to leave too much open time.
There is also a line to walk when working with newsmakers; my responsibilities to Toledo Free Press and WSPD are primarily news gathering. I can separate my opinions from news coverage in print by containing the former to Page 3, but it's a different challenge with radio and requires more nuance. One of the inevitable message board critics described me as "wishy-washy," but that's more a reflection of his/her lack of sophistication and inability to discern subtlety than it is of my reality.
A show host unencumbered by journalism parameters can use a sledgehammer at will; my main available tool is the ice pick.
Because while I am ethically bound to leave that sledgehammer lying there, tempting as it often is, I use the ice pick to communicate opinion with almost every decision. Which pre-election guests did I book? Whom did I invite on for Election Day? Who was on post-Election Day? Those choices are strong opinions in themselves. My conversation may be moderate but I am telegraphing to you with every second.
If you do not understand the mechanical differences inherent in those tools — and if you require opinions be funneled to your brain through a megaphone instead of presented to you for your own decisions — that's your intellectual defect, not mine.
It's not heavy lifting, but it's a heavy challenge — and one I am looking forward to meeting.

Berkeley County officials have announced plans for AGRO Merchant Groups expansion into Berkeley County.
The international distribution company owns and operates nearly two million square feet of temperature-controlled warehouse and distribution space in the United States, Austria, Ireland, Spain, and the Netherlands.
The move is expected to create 63 new jobs and put some former Piggly Wiggly employees back to work.
The unfortunate closure of the Piggly Wiggly distribution center left many of the companys employees searching for jobs, said Dan Davis, Berkeley County Supervisor. We are thrilled AGRO Merchant Group has not only chosen to expand its operations into Berkeley County, but is willing to provide some of these hard working individuals with gainful employment. I am looking forward to working with ARGO and am prepared to offer support and resources to help them put people to work.
AGRO will invest approximately $8 million to upgrade the existing warehouse.
When complete, the facility will be equipped with on-site flash freeze capabilities and 14,000 frozen pallet positions. ARGO also plans to offer USDA meat import and export inspection services.
According to a company press release, Chris Hughes, Partner and President of Agro Merchants U.S. said, We are extremely excited to offer a new, state-of-the-art solution for our customers that will provide them excellent access to the Port of Charleston, and a cost-effective alternative to move product into and through the Southeastern U.S.
We have an excellent relationship with the Port of Charleston and look forward to working together to optimize our customers import and export supply chain options in the market.
We will be connecting AGRO with readySC for job training services, said Davis. In all, AGRO qualifies for about $1 million in state and local incentives, includes training and tax credits.

In hopes of growing county law enforcement to match a growing population, Sheriff L.C. Knight begged Dorchester County officials for nearly half a million dollars more in the 2014-2015 fiscal year at a county budget retreat April 10.
We are in a danger zone as far as Im concerned, Knight said. I dont care who the sheriff is, he could be Superman, he would still be in here asking for money.
The Sheriffs presentation was given to Dorchester County Council and other county officials at the Capital Improvement Planning Retreat detailing the offices current operations and where it needs improvement. The retreat was held at the Dorchester County EMS building in Summerville.
As youll see as we go through the presentation, our office is way behind in growth of the county, which makes it harder and harder to do our jobs, the sheriff said. I want this, but I feel like as a manager at the Sheriffs Office, we need this.
Im here begging and asking you to please give us some consideration.
His requests for funding centered mostly on personnel.
For the 2014-2015 fiscal year, the Sheriffs Office requested $448,769 in funds to hire 23 new employees and upgrade nine current employees from part time to full time positions. The estimate includes salary and benefits.
Specifically, DCSO is requesting funding for two new dispatchers, four new deputies, 10 new officers to staff the new jail, and new administrative employees, as well as an upgrade for nine part time court officers to full time.
Sheriff Knight said his request was modest compared to what the office should ideally have. He gave particular emphasis to hiring more dispatchers, who he described as the bloodline of emergency operations for the entire county and many of the municipalities.
He also emphasized that the county needs to budget sufficient funds for staffing at the new jail now so the facility can be used to full capacity when its built.
Many of his other staffing requests, including upgrading the part time court positions to full time, was in an attempt to save money, he said, which will eliminate the overtime compensations the county is paying.
He used a comparison of statistics between DCSO and Summerville Police Department to help give the council perspective.
According to the data presented, SPD serves 40,000 people in 20 square miles and has 10 to 12 officers on duty each shift. DCSO serves the entire county population, spanning 530 square miles, and has 13 officers on duty per shift.
I hope this is a kind of reality check, the sheriff said.
Knight did present good news DCSO has received $2.6 million in grants over the past five years, a trend the office hopes to continue.
But the grants are not enough, and the presentation left county councilmembers wondering where the extra funds could come from.
I think were missing a lot of revenue, said Councilman Larry Hargett. Were dispatching for Ridgeville and Harleyville [police departments], why are they not helping to pay for that?
More emergency services funding issues came to light during the remainder of the budget retreat: there is an estimated funding gap of $3 million for the new jail, the dispatch center needs a $913,613 upgrade to its 12-year-old system, the fire department is requesting a new vehicle to respond to medical calls so the fire trucks dont need to be used as frequently, and the county wants to purchase a $60,000 emergency notification system to assist in keeping the public informed during emergencies like the ice storms this winter.
With budgetary restraints pulling the county in several different directions, Chief Financial Officer Justin Powell advised Council to use multiple funding options pay-as-you-go financing, general obligation bonds and lease-purchasing financing to pay for all of the expenses.
The retreat was the last planning workshop before the budget is presented for first reading at the May 5 County Council meeting.
Two more budget retreats will take place before the budget is passed, on May 8 and May 29.
Council will hear budget presentations from multiple constituencies, including both school districts, Dorchester Seniors Inc. and the library, on May 19 and 27 in Summerville and St. George, respectively. Afterward, on both dates in both locations, public hearings on the budget will be held.
The council will hear the third and final reading of the 2014-2015 fiscal year budget on June 2.

Barrasso sees Hagel as 'less effective'
Sen. John Barrasso said on Sunday that Chuck Hagel's nomination for defense secretary is "being rushed through" the Senate, and he rejected calls that a Republican hold on the nominee is obstructionism.
"He's going to be less effective because of the fact [that] the president nominated him," Barrasso said on CNN's "State of the Union." "I think it is going to impact him as he tries to limp across the finish line to get confirmed."
Barrasso, a Republican from Wyoming who opposes Hagel, said the former GOP senator from Nebraska was "wrong about Iran, wrong about Israel, wrong in Iraq, wrong with nuclear weapons."

Haze brings colorful, gesture-rich weather to your iPhone
Wasn't impressed with the video. It shows a lot of beautiful weathered scenery but very little of the apps functions or abilities that would make me choose to spend $1on it over similarly priced or free weather apps. Maybe show the cool things that it does that's different from the others.
Love my job, since I've been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online.(Click Home information)
Are they going to add a live weather radar function? I can't believe that a paid weather app doesn't have radar.
I don't get the hype on this app. If I am going to spend the time to open an app and check the weather, I'd like to have more information available to me. A quick swipe down of the notification center seems to give me the same info. Now if Apple opened up the notification center to third parties, this could make for a cool weather widget.

This looks to solve those two issues.
Step 1: Materials
1 3 Ft. x 18 In. Board
4 Bricks
4 NON Pivoting Wheels
2 Pivot Hinges
2 3 In. Pin Locks
Cutting Implement (I used a miter saw)
Step 2: Basic Assembly
I didn't want the hole to be too big as it would have to carry considerable weight when rolling the full bin around, however, I wanted it to be big enough to get a rake or shovel into.
Attach the top edge of the door with 2 hinges, and then use the pin locks on the bottom edge. Make sure to place the locks on the side (parallel to the ground). I mistakenly placed them vertically along the bottom and when the barrel flexed, the door popped open every time.
Step 3: The Platform
Screw the 4 wheels about 2-4 inches in from the top and bottom. this lets the groove of the barrel keep it on the wheels.
Don't place the wheels too close to the middle, you don't want them hitting the door or door hardware (ask me how I know!).
Step 4: Aeration
Works great. I have actually built a stand for it now that I can roll a wheel barrow under, but this pic was before that.
THANKS again.
C2H4O2+NaOH -> Na2CO3 + H2O.
Na2CO3 is sodium carbonate which is an irritant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_carbonate. Otherwise, it should be OK. Just wash everything out with water afterward.
CH3CO2H + NaOH --> CH3CO2-Na + H2O
wash your drum with water a couple of times, then a couple of times with vinegar.
NaOH is corrosive but will get neutralized by your compost eventually, so i is not going to kill your plants, unless you have a lot of it. You can get a cheap pH testing kit from any garden center if you want to check.
best Thomas

Twitter for iPhone updated, #dickbar still mandatory but slightly less intrusive
Twitter for iPhone has been updated so that the new
#dickbar Quick Bar does not overlap tweets in your timeline. Twitter introduced this trending bar last week and users were immediately outraged by its intrusive behavior and the fact that it cannot be disabled. This update still does not allow the user to disable the Quick Bar, but at least it's not quite as intrusive.
Here's everything this update has to offer:
- Fixes crashing some users have been seeing on launch and with location services
- Updated Quick Bar default behavior to not overlap tweets in timeline
- Security fixes
- Improved performance for users with many accounts
After last week's update, did you switch Twitter clients because of the Quick Bar? If so, is this improvement enough to bring you back? Sound off in the comments below!

Twitter for iPhone updated, #dickbar still mandatory but slightly less intrusive
If you are needing Twitlonger, you are missing the point of Twitter. Use Tumblr instead.
I might agree if every tweet was turning into a novel. But on occasion having this feature is very helpful and avoids annoying multi-tweets or abbreviating to absurdity, and makes things like reply threads much more useful.
Several clients, including Osfoora, continue to support Twitlonger. The only explanation I've seen about why Twitter removed support for it was to reduce their client feature sets to a lowest common denominator. Really? I guess that means we should all dump our smartyphones and use SMS? #FAIL
I switched back to the previous version after trying 3.3. I will download this new version on my iPhone. If I still can't use the app without inadvertently touching the Quick Bar, i will delete it from my iPhone and reinstall the old version from my computer.
I will then have the issue of being unable to simply hit "update all" to update all my apps. This is already an issue. To resolve it, I may have to remove the Twitter app completely and use a rival like TweetDeck.
I wouldn't mind a one touch access to trending topics when I want to see them. I would definitely want something this app does not readily provide - seeing my own retweets.
My advice to Twitter app developers - if you sacrifice usability, people will leave you in droves. Look what happened to your app store rating. There are plenty other Twitter apps out there. If you want people to use yours, make it the best, and don't stoop to littering the user interface with interaction traps.
Though I wish Twitter would provide the option of turning the quick bar off, this implementation is better than the first. Unfortunately for those that have a jailbroken iPhone and installed Twizzler, you will now be left with a blank space at the top of your Twitter timeline where the quick bar is supposed to be.
I tried other Twitter clients, but I ultimately leave unimpressed. I prefer Twitter because it does everything I want it to do and contains less bugs than other free Twitter iPhone apps.
I don't update without looking for reviews first, so I still run the old version and have no plans to update. Twitter isn't the only app that ruined a good app with intrusive ads; e.g. Bloomberg did too. Changing apps to get rid of the dickbar may be only a temporary reprieve though. According to a recent interview with the CEO, Twitter plan to slip ads directly into users' timelines soon. If so, that will be harder to get rid of.
I switched to Tweetcaster Pro. Only thing I miss is push notifications, which Boxcar is handling nicely.
I did like the official Twitter client but yeah, the quickbar's gotta go.
Even with the less intrusive #Dickbar, I have still ditched the app both on the iPhone and iPad for 1 primary reason, buggy DM read status indicators. It is beyond reason how this bug could live on in various iterations and updates.
I have tried a handful of Twitter clients on the iPhone and iPad. IMHO, Tweetlist on the iPhone is one of the nicest of the bunch. Osfoora HD on the iPad has done the job for a long time for my needs.
That being said, I have gone fully with Tweetings on all my iDevices (including my iMac) for one simple feature: TweetSync. I love being able to move from device to device and have my read tweets picked up so I don't have to mark tweets as read on the various devices that I tweet from.
Your comment about king standing bugs is a good one. At some point removing useful features and spamming users became mire important than responding to issue reports and /improving/ the product. Atebits... WHERE ARE YOU?
I downloaded to the previous version, but then thought "why should I have to do this, and constantly see an update waiting???" so I trashed it. I went back to Echofon Pro. Screw Twitter (their app anyway).
Like the guy above said Fail + Fail. Two "wrongs" do not make a right!
"downgraded" not downloaded hahaha
I went back to TwitBird after this update. Sorry but until they give me an option to completely turn it off - I won't be using that app anymore. Cram your promoted sh*t down some else's throat - I don't want it.
In case anyone wants to know the improvements from 3.3 to 3.3.1:
- "Less intrusive" #dickbar
- Battery draining location services that cannot be disabled (on all the time, regardless of your setting)
- In-app Instapaper support that doesn't work
- Automated URL shortening that doesn't work until after your compose your tweet
- User Manual/FAQ for 3.2 (e.g. how to use custom URL shortening API, etc.)
Pissed me off, so I reverted to the peviois version (3.2.2) and I'm fine with it. I like twitter app, but they kind of ruined it. Looks like 3.2.2 is the end of line for me...,
Not as bad as 3.3, but I'm still going to stay at 3.2.2 until it can be disabled. A good reason to update your apps through iTunes rather than on device (so that you can recover previous app versions from Trash or Time Machine when "upgrades" turn out to be "downgrades"- this isn't the first time).
If it's not disable-able soon, I'll just delete it and switch to Twitterific.
Sorry, Twitter. Between taking out several Tweetie features -- who /removes/ features?? -- and proving to act in ways that annoy users, I have moved on to another Twitter client (Osfoora) and am not coming back until you remedy the feature situation. Maybe never. You took a great product and ran it into the ground. Congrats!
As for trending topics, I can actually see them in Osfoora if I choose, in several different slices. Whenever I do so, though, I find them perfectly meaningless to my interests. Maybe before Twitter decides to shove this information into the face of every single user they should consider that it's not relevant or interesting for some? And by the sound of it "some" might actually be "most".
Well I like it. Okay not the dickbar but I do like the client and the I,provenance like username recognition and hashtag shortcuts. So there
Obviously, you haven't used the app since the update. Otherwise, you would have noticed some of the most important features (e.g. url shortening, instapaper) do not work any more. You also would have noticed location features were constantly switched on. I'm willing to bet the majority of unhappy users (including myself) didn't have any problem with 3.2.x.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Obviously you know what I have been using and not been using. It's a revelation to me to learn that I used Instapaper and turned off LBS. I must have dreamt all those tweets I send from the iPhone and iPad versions.
I like this client better than the others. So. There.
That's right. Promoted Trends are, in fact, their form of advertising.
No, I won't go back. The latest version is much less annoying, but I've since discovered I like Tweetlogix better anyway. It has more features, a more elegant interface, and looks better too.

Dear Scott: My 17-year-old son wants his hair cut like Maclemore. I looked up his picture, and it looks like he has a squirrel on his head. Do you know how to do this haircut?
Answer: Guys of color have been wearing Rapper Maclemore's cut for more than a decade.
It's a short clipper cut around the edges, fades to the skin, full on the top. There is a line that doesn't connect the two sections. That's what gives you the impression of a small animal sitting on top of the head. It's a fun haircut.
Celebrities are a great way to keep up with what's new. Here are some others I like to watch, and the looks they are wearing:
Vocalist/musician/actor Lenny Kravitz has worn a natural afro, dreadlocks, buzz cut, short curl, and is now wearing an updated version of the afro style. I'd say its one part dreadlocks and two parts afro.
This is a great look for young guys of any race that have naturally curly hair.
Get the look: Wash the hair and condition. Dip the hair in aloe vera gel and shake out the excess gel.
Leave the aloe in the hair to help maintain definition, add shine. Let it dry ruff or twist the hair with your fingers and let it air dry.
Vocalist/actress Miley Cyrus went from looking like the little girl-next-door to an all-grown-up woman with her new haircut, color and some other stuff.
Her haircut was actually borrowed from Pink, who I thought had a patent on it. Tabloids say Pink has been seen with some "scary hair extensions" attempting to escape from the sincerest form of flattery.
Cyrus says that she has gotten bored of the cut and is growing it out. Let's see what the two of them do next.
Get the look: Clipper cut it tight on the sides using a No. 1 or No. 2 guard. Razor cut the top without connecting the two.
It can be worn up with heavy gel or smooth it down for a softer pixie style. The platinum-blonde color accentuates the cut.
Actress Nicole Kidman makes any hair color look good, but she is probably the most beautiful redhead since Ann Margaret.
Kidman wore an especially beautiful orange hair color in the movie thriller Stoker.
Her hair seemed to be purposely colored to match the china plates hanging on the walls and the dishes in the kitchen cabinets.
Get the look: Grow your hair longer. At age 46, Kidman proves you don't have to cut your hair as you get older.
Color it a natural red or strawberry blonde if you are conservative. Color it bright if you want to turn heads.
Wear it in romantic waves for a fashion statement.
Comedian/Actress Wanda Sykes is the perfect example of the latest in African hairstyles. Her curly afro is right in-style with the 60 revival of fashion today.
The addition of blonde hair color, or sometimes red, draws attention, adds definition, and sets the stage for fun curls.
Get the look: Relax the hair for only a minute to stretch the curl just a little.
Twist the hair with your fingers and let it dry for a quickie.
When you want to look your best, use a strong styling paste and wet set the hair on flexible straws.
The use of a tabletop hair dryer will help speed the dry time. It will also add luster and softness to the style.

Yes, I've gotten bit by the bug. Got a notice that I had an app update, and when I went to install it, got the notice that terms and conditions had changed. When I accepted them, it went to the iTunes page for the app, and when I hit update on that page, the terms and conditions came up again. Trying a power cycle now to see what happens. Have Sprint iPhone 4s w/64gb.
iTunes and App Store terms and conditions stuck in infinite loop, locking out customers
Apple has update the terms and conditions of iTunes and the App Store tonight, and it seems to have caused a recursive bug for some users -- the TOC pops up again and again, in an infinite loop, and you just can't get past it.
I haven't had the new TOC pop up for me at all yet, but based on the number of tips we're getting, a lot of you have, and lot of you have been bitten by the bug.
Hopefully this is something Apple can fix on the server-side so everyone can get back to downloading If you're experiencing the infinite fail loop, let us know, and if it gets fixed or you figure away around it, let us know that too.
Update: Looks like it's fixed!

iTunes and App Store terms and conditions stuck in infinite loop, locking out customers
Reboot, power cycle, etc will not fix it. Tried iTunes and same with Term and Conditions on there also. It's a server side issue that only Apple can fix it seems.
Bah. Glad it's not just me. Driving me nuts!
Same issue iPhone 4 sprint.
Same bug here, so frustrating. I hope I don't get charged a zillion times for all the times I accepted while trying to buy a stupid app, lol.
Stuck in loop on three different macs with 3 different OS and 1 iPad.
infinite loop on TOS for itunes on my PC, MAC, and iphone. have not tried every device, but my guess is that it is across all itunes accounts.
Tried everything imaginable and nothing is working. Talk about frustrating
I'm having the same problem! Jive!
It is happening to me too!
I have tried everything except read all 65 pages of terms and conditions! I did page thru a few and did get closer to success but still stuck in loop.
Ugh yes! My wife ordered some legal documents via her iPhone (ios5) and it asked her to print out a form and mail it in (safari). Since we don't have an AirPrinter, I was gonna download a print to PDF app, but we got stuck in this loop..... Then (of course), memory in Safari dropped her page and we weren't able to recover it.... Ugh... At least we got a screen shot.
It happened to me once, so the second time it came up I tried scrolling all the way to the bottom of the TOC and then clicked Agree. It didn't come back after that...
Same here... I used to have my devices with Jailbreak, today I decided to buy a gift card and buy apps from there after restoring the device to its original software and this is what I get...!!!! LOL...!!! What a night!
Got the bug! So annoying g but at least I know I'm not alone!
Working :D
It's working for me now.
Working now for me. Now, to wait and see if I was charged for all those clicks lol!
Me too, At&t 4s
From the day one of iOS6 there is another bug in App Store. It's very well described in Apple support forum with number of threads. Basically, when you go to Purchased tab in Updates, and press it, iPhone goes in infinite loop for some time, an than AppStore app crushed . There is for some reasons connected to iPhones more than other devices. I wrote a letter to Apple, and after 4 days (much more than 48 hours like they said in the automatic replay), they answered that they are aware of problem. It looks like that only part of Apple ID's have this problem. I have US ID which works normally and European (Croatian) ID which has problem. Also in support forums there is a lot of people with US Apple ID which has a problem.
I'm sorry because I used this theme to talk about another, but it seems to me that is basically same kind of Apple Store bugs problems.
Good input. Regards to you and the land if the cravat!
I've been having problems with iTunes Match (on my phone only) most of the day.
First, I got a message saying that my subscription had expired and to renew on my computer. Of course, it hadn't. And iTunes Match was fine on my Mac. When I finally got it to recognize my account, it wouldn't reload my playlists. Finally, it did. Then, it got funky around downloads -- downloading some playlists but not others and, as I later discovered, not retaining them on my phone.
Only a few hours after those issues, did I experience the TOC thing, I was able to stop the loop, but I haven't been able to download anything since. The Music app acts as though it's downloading and playing, moving swiftly from track to track, but nothing actually downloads and nothing plays. And the two playlists that are actually on my phone (one downloaded four or five days ago and one downloaded this morning) don't play properly: the track that shows as playing is not the track that plays. This issue is still ongoing, despite numerous iTunes Match toggling, repowering, etc.
P.S. I tried switching to 3G as someone suggested; made no difference.
P.P.S. Seems to be working now...!
You on Verizon? Seems an update for "cellular über alles" was just pushed.
I saw the new terms and conditions, but never has a problem after accepting them.
I had a problem accepting the terms and condition on my phone and went into the infinite loop. So I just went to my itunes and accepted the T&C there. Then I went back and tried to update my apps on my phone and all was well. :)
My 4 decided that it needed to be activated again. Now it is in a loop where I can't use any part of the phone. I have tried activating the phone and I keep getting the message the activation server is down. I don't like when devices just decide to lock you out. That shows how little control we have of our devices. This would be enough for me to switch to the android OS, but they probably are under that same control these days. It is like, one flip of the switch and we all could be in the dark. Apple forgets who really owns these devices.
USA iTunes acct holder in central Europe. Got the t&c doc, read about half if it, got bored, accepted, no problem. This transpired about 10 min ago just before coming here.
I closed down all apps rebooted and luckily mine works fine now - whew!
I got it to work finally by clicking through every single one of the 65 pages... what a pain in the rear.
The iTunes terms @ conditions infinite loop is not resolved. I'm kicked into it when I try to play tunes from iCloud match on my ipad 3. the whole library of tunes are listed on ipad 'music' but just try to play when and the loop is initiated. What can ce done?
[SOLVED] (For jailbroken idevices) Simply respring the device with apps such as "Activator" from the cydia store.
Edit - the idevice doesn't need to be jailbroken. There are ways to respring without jailbreak.
-tested on ipod touch 4th gen ios 1.6.3
Update: happening again today (one year later). Infinite loop of agreeing to the new iTunes Store conditions.

Joel Tauber is determined to discover why "Socialism" is considered a bad word in America and is using a lost community in Aiken County to accomplish his goal.
Tauber, an artist and filmmaker, spent several days last week filming the known location of Happyville, a largely forgotten Jewish farming community that lasted from 1905 to 1908 in the Montmorenci area. He plans to use the footage in a new film he's working on called the "The Sharing Project."
"Everyone knows what it is (sharing), but it's incredibly complex. Do we have it intrinsically in ourselves?" Tauber said.
He saw an article in the Aiken Standard about Happyville, and made the trip from his home in North Carolina to film here.
The inspiration for the "The Sharing Project" came from Tauber's own son who is learning the practice of sharing.
"My son is struggling with it, and I'm struggling with him," he said.
Socialism, loosely defined, is a political or economic theory that advocates that the production and distribution of goods be owned and shared by a community as a whole.
Happyville was a Socialist community founded by immigrants who dreamed of a utopian society. They planted crops, built and opened a ginnery and saw mill and harvested timber from the 2,200 acres they owned. However, several years of bad weather ruined their crops, and they couldn't make money off the ginnery and mill.
Tauber is looking at three Socialist communes for the "The Sharing Project," and "the one I'm most excited about is Happyville," he said.
The owner of the land where Happyville was located wasn't even aware that it was the site of the defunct community. Tauber found there an abandoned tractor, which may be a remnant from Happyville, and a ramshackle house.
In addition to filming at these locations and talking with researchers, he's also interviewing anthropologists, biologists, school teachers and professors. He also talked with Doris Baumgarten, a docent at the Aiken County Historical Museum and Happyville researcher.
"What's wrong with Socialism? I want to present it (with "The Sharing Project") in a poetic way without lecturing," he said.

McFarlane Entertainment staffer (and board moderator) Janet Armstrong recently attended the Phoenix date of the 2003 Warped Tour. Here's her first-person take on the day:
1:37 p.m. I pulled into the Peoria Sports Complex, paid my 5 bucks to park and headed to the press will call area to receive my very first all-access press and photo pass!
While others were attempting to talk the nice lady into letting them in and trying to convince her that they were who they SAID they were (even though they didn't have an I.D.), I just walked right up told her my name and was handed my pass and my ticket; it was fabulous.
Anyway, I was a little confused and had no clue where to go. I wandered around for about 30 minutes and finally found someone that could hear me and got directions. I signed up in the pressroom for my interviews and I was off to get photos.
Out of the 10 bands that we pre-signed up to interview -- Sum 41, Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, The Used, Andrew W.K., Simple Plan, Less Than Jake, Authority Zero, The Ataris and the Mad Caddies -- only two were available. So that bummed me out, but what can you do, right?
3 p.m. Time to interview Less Than Jake. But I was in front of the barricades waiting for The Dropkick Murphys to come on so I could get photos while the band was performing. I was having a hard time deciding what to do as the crowd was getting impatient and started chanting MURPHYS, MURPHYS, MURPHYS. Thankfully this sped them up a bit and one by one they graced the Brain Stage and totally kicked. I got my pictures, but unfortunately I had to race over to the pressroom to do my interviews so I couldn't stay for the whole set. Duty calls!!
3:09 p.m. Two members of Less Than Jake -- Buddy, the trombone player and Roger, the bass player -- were still there and I caught the tail end of another interview, I waited while two other reporters asked their questions and then it was my turn. Here goes:
spawn.com: You guys are thought of as a ska band, how do you categorize yourselves?
LTJ: We are actually kinda ostracized from the ska scene.
SC: Why do you say that? Are you serious?
LTJ: Well, we don't really claim to be ska. We actually don't want to be labeled as any type of band. I mean, just because we have horns that doesn't make us ska; the Beatles had horns that didn't make them ska.
SC: OK, I can tell that's a touchy subject. What's on the agenda for the rest of the year after Warped Tour is over?
LTJ: We are actually still looking for bands to tour with for the rest of this year, so we'll see. We don't really know.
SC: Tell me about the new album
LTJ: Well, there are a lot of weird songs. Our lives are changing so our songs are changing. We wrote like 30 songs for the album and chose 15. There is a fast song, midtempo songs, there is a super-slow song. There is one with nothing but guitar and vocals, and then a song with everything from keyboards to drums and everything in between.
SC: There is a song on the new album that you have previously done ...
LTJ: Yeah, that's because when we heard it, there were things about the song that we wanted to change. In the past we have had to record albums in like three days and you can't always get songs just right. This time we had six weeks so we had time to perfect things and make the songs just the way we wanted them.
SC: What else about this album are you guys really proud of?
LTJ: We actually hooked up with some underground artists and sent them the lyrics of all the new songs and asked them to do a piece that reflected how they felt about the words. We got back some really cool stuff. It was interesting to see how our music was interpreted.
SC: OK now I have to ask a question for the fans of our Web site. I work for Todd McFarlane and we make comic books, toys, music videos, movies and Spawn the animated series and most of our readers are collectors. Do you guys collect anything?
LTJ: Yeah we have hundreds of PEZ.
SC: Do you have a favorite?
LTJ/Roger: I have a psychedelic '60s guy that I dig.
LTJ/Buddy: I used to collect Simpson's stuff, I had everything and then when they changed the packaging I stopped. It was getting a little out of control anyway.
SC: Have you ever been to the Pez Museum in Burlingame, CA?
LTJ: You know about that? Yeah we have our picture up in there.
SC: Right on! Well thank you so much for your time, it was great to meet you.
This is when a radio guy came in to get them to go live on the EDGE, the "alternative" radio station out here in Phoenix.
After this, I had about an hour to play around and check things out. I took more photos and took full advantage of my backstage access and avoided the crowds. It was like 112 degrees outside and the last thing I wanted to do was be around thousands of sweaty people.
By 4:15 I was ready for the air-conditioned pressroom. I went over and chilled with two other guys waiting for Dropkick Murphys. We introduced ourselves and they freaked out when they heard what company I worked for. They started asking me all kinds of questions about Todd and telling me what figures they collect. Since I have only been with McFarlane for about three months, this was my first interaction with fans and it was cool to meet them and hear what they had to say about what we do and how much the really like the toys. I mean I hear it through the message boards but it's a different feeling when you can see how worked up people get over our products.
Anyway, after the 944 Magazine guy tried to talk me into committing Todd to an interview with their "publication" (read: Phoenix club scene guide) Al Karr showed up, the lead singer from the Murphys.
4:36: The two guys I met start in on their questions, which were pretty similar to mine so we just did our interviews together.
SC: We asked how the band got their start and since Al wasn't one of the original members he told us HIS version of the story.
AK: It's true the band members met in a barbershop but they couldn't really play and didn't take off until I joined the band (laughs). Seriously they started by playing at a local bar that is known for giving chances to up-and-coming local bands. The first vocalist quit shortly after their first record and I have been with them ever since for three of the four albums. Kenny called me and asked me to try out just as I was deciding to quit the band I was in, The Bruisers. We had a top-secret tryout and they asked me to be in the band.
SC: Why did you guys decide to do the Vans Warped Tour?
AK: Well, we were one of the first bands they asked and it's a huge deal. It's a great way to spend the summer and to be introduced to a new fan base. A lot of times kids will show up to see someone else they'll hear us play and totally dig our sound. We already have the greatest most loyal fans and it's always great to add to the fan base.
SC: What's your favorite song to perform?
AK: "Freebird." (laughing) But from our new album, Blackout, I really love the way it feels when we're doing "The Worker Song."
SC: What is your favorite city to perform?
AK: Sydney, Australia and Japan. And we have great fans here in the U.S., but the fans in Japan are just so intense and it's such a cool feeling to be in another country so different from ours where they don't speak our language and they sing every word. It's a really overwhelming feeling.
SC: Do you guys collect anything?
AK: I love the animated series you guys do. It's kinda dark for a cartoon.
SC: Well, it's an adult cartoon on HBO late at night.
AK: Well, I saw it on a rented VHS so kids can see it.
SC: OK, you got me. So do you collect anything?
AK: It's funny that you ask that because I use to collect those little green plastic army men. I would organize them and paint them and make up battles.
SC: Cool, well that's all I got.
AK: That's it?
SC: I'm done. Can I get a picture with you and Spawn?
And he graciously took photos and signed a bunch of stuff and he was outta there.
I hope you enjoy the photos and find the interviews interesting. It was a great experience for me and hopefully we'll be able to bring more stuff like this to the site as other concerts and things come up.

GREENSBURG, PA – The Hilbert College baseball team traded site locations Saturday in order to get their first set of games in the book and boy did they open the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference portion of their schedule in an exciting way. The Hawks broke for a 14-run, 6th inning tear to claim the first game against Pitt-Greensburg (16-14) before dropping the night cap (12-4) March 30. Junior Joe Pernick finished the day with 4 hits while knocking in 3 runs and crossing home three times for the 1-12 Hawks. Senior Ryan Ilardi added two hits and 3 RBIs. Ilardi and senior Chris Hoak, and junior John Babosci connected for doubles while freshman Tyler Roth earned the win on the mound.
The Hawks found themselves in a 5-0 hole after the 3rd inning before Ilardi pushed Pernick home in the bottom of the 4th finally putting the Hawks on the board. Greensburg exploded for eight runs in the top of the 5th and surrendered another Hilbert run in the bottom of the inning setting a 13-2 score heading into the last part of the game.
Things got interesting in the bottom of the 6th when Babosci clipped his double which was followed by another Ilardi RBI that sent Pernick home. Justin Hulbert, Pernick, Ilardi (double), Paul Wujek, Hoak, and Cody Ashford all earned RBI's in the rally to give Hilbert a 16-13 lead.
Tony Mara, Colby Parachoniak, and Roth carried the Hawks through the first six innings before Hoak took the mound in the top of the 7th. He faced five batters, earned the save and gave Hilbert their first win, and first AMCC victory of the season.
In the night cap, Greensburg (2-12, 1-3) put runs on the board in each of the first four innings and held a 11-4 advantage by the top of the 5th before they coasted to a 12-4 win. Senior Garrett Pauly took the loss, going three innings and striking out three for Hilbert. Hoak hit a double in the 3rd inning and Wujek, Pernick and Sean McGrath each earned RBIs in the loss.
Two road games sit on the Hawks schedule this week: Penn State Behrend on April 2 and Houghton College April 4th.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone.

TNA taped the February 21st episode of Impact Wrestling last month in London, England. Thanks to WrestlingINC.com reader Paul Davis for sending in these spoilers:
Rockstar Spud vs. Robbie E. (w/ Robbie T.)
Short match but Rockstar Spud looked very strong as a character and seems to know his role within the match very well. The crowd are slowly gassing out at this point but still in good enough spirits to cheer for Spud throughout the match. The ending see's Robbie E. attempt to cheat by taking 'The List' from Robbie T. but Big Rob doesn't allow it and Rockstar Spud roles up Robbie E. for the win. After the match Spud runs off to the back and Robbie E. shouts at Robbie T. for not letting go of 'The List' and Robbie T. takes his, pink, shirt off and intimidates Robbie E. who shortly after runs off.
Winner: Rockstar Spud
Joseph Parks, James Storm, Hernandez and Chavo Guerrero vs. Christopher Daniels and Kazarian, Roode and Aries
Interesting to note is that Joseph Parks got a great reception from the crowd as soon as he appeared and tends to have an extremly distinctive presence from the other performers on the match. The heel teams of Bad Intentions and Roode & Aries fall out of favour with each other very quickly and Roode and Aries leave Bad Intentions to get quickly disected by the opposing teams. Each opponent executes their finishing moves and leave Joseph Parks to add the finishing touches with a big splash on Kazarian.
Winners: Joseph Parks, James Storm, Hernandez and Chavo Guerrero
Rob Van Dam (c) vs. Kenny King
RVD defeated King after hitting a five star frog splash.
Samoa Joe vs. Garett Bichoff
Not too much to note in this match other than Garett Bischoff receiving 'you can't wrestle' chants and then makes the obvious mistake of attempting 'wrestling' moves on the submission expert Samoa Joe. Wes Briscoes causes the DQ which lead to Angle hitting the ring for the save which worked as the set up for Angle to announce, on the mic, that he was the one that got Wes his contract and that he wants to face him at Lockdown to inflict un-imaginable pain on him.
Match up made for Lockdown: Ace's and 8's Vs. Sting and three others of his choosing.
Winner: Samoa Joe via DQ
- Hogan makes his third appearance of the night to announce his number one contender choice for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship match to be Bully Ray, who had no part in the #1 Contenders matches. Bully Ray comes to the ring and shows respect for Hulk and says that he feels he doesn't deserve above all those that competed. If you ask me, something seems very suspicious with Bully and Hulk at this point in time. However, Bully suggest the match of himself, Hulk and Sting in the main event against three members of Ace's and 8's that Hulk agrees to.
Tara (c) vs. Gail Kim vs. Velvet Sky vs. Brooke Tessmacher
Tara, for whatever reason, began her entrance with Brooke Hogans music playing; Tara ever the professional works through it and doesn't react. This was a 4-way elimination match up but the first elimination, which was Tara, proved to be confusing seeing that the crowd either forgot or it wasn't announced that it was an elimination match up. Once Brooke pinned Tara the crowd reacted as though the match was over. However the running order of elimination was Tara, Brooke Tessmacher, Gail Kim which leaves Velvet Sky as your new Knockouts champion. Even with a gased out crowd the fans seemed to lap this win up and Velvet proves her worth as female attraction.

The Moyers Tigers spent the last week at the annual Coleman tourney. Up first for the Lady Tigers would be the Caney Cougars. The Ladies took to the court with desire but couldn't convert and fell behind 24-5 at the half. The Ladies recouped at half and came back out much more impressive scoring immediately and at the end of three it was 40-11. Caney had a tough inside game and the Lady Tigers battled hard. The much improved Lady Tigers showed good passing skills and moved the ball well, but fell short of their goal 49-13.
The boys would take to the court next taking on Caney as well. These two teams met early in the season and it was a close game, this would not be the case this time around. Junior Brandon Slocum won the tip and it was all Tigers from there. Sr. Zach Brittingham put the first points on the board for the Tigers with a pull up jumper.
After one, the Tigers were in command 14-6. It would be the 2nd quarter that would prove most valuable with the Tigers going on a 27 point scoring run lead by Sr. Jake Mattingly hitting 3 three point baskets, followed by Jr. Jake Dudley with 2 three's of his own. The Tigers were up 41-14 at half.
The 3rd and 4th quarters slowed down for the Tigers, but good defense inside kept the Cougars at bay with the Tigers advancing 64-43. Jake Mattingly and Jake Dudley each had 16 to lead the scoring, followed by Brandon Slocum with 13, So. Caleb Armstrong with 7, Sr. Terrell Morgan had 6, So. Tyler had 3, Zach Brittingham with 2 and Colton Shrum with a free-throw. Next up for the Tigers would be Allen.
Allen is ranked 14th is class A, so the Tigers knew they had their work cut out for them. This would prove to be a very aggressive game, and the Tigers never could find their groove, falling to Allen 80-49. Enough about that game…Let's move on to the game for 3rd place between the Tigers and Milburn. Milburn handed the Tigers their first loss of the season earlier in the year, so it was payback time. Milburn won the tip and put points on the board first, but Jr. Jake Dudley quickly answered with 2 of his own. Sr. Terrell Morgan was strong on the boards, and the Tigers lead 12-11 after one.
The second qtr would see the lead change many times, but the Tigers still had the lead 28-23 at half. The Tigers came out in the 3rd determined and a quick paced game was in the Tigers favor. Pressure defense lead by Jake Dudley, So. Caleb Armstrong and Jr. Brandon Slocum kept the pressure on. Battling under the boards was Sr. Zach Brittingham, Terrell Morgan and Sr. Jake Mattingly to give the offense a chance to work its magic. Jake Dudley got hot in the 4th scoring 11 of his 27 points. Milburn was not going down easily and at one point late in the 4th was in the lead by 7.
The Tigers struggled at the free throw line most of the game, but managed to hit some free throws at the end of the 4th to secure the victory in a nail bitter 60-56. Jake Dudley lead the scoring with 27, followed by Brandon Slocum with 14, Jake Mattingly with 13, Caleb Armstrong with 4 and Zach Brittingham with 2. The Tigers received a third place plaque and Jake Dudley was honored with all tournament team.View more articles in:
