Why does my Internet back button sometimes not work?
A new window or tab was opened
When browsing the Internet, some pages may open a link to a new window or tab. When this occurs, all your previous search history will not move over to the new window. You can determine if this is the cause of your issue by examining the back button. If the back button is gray or non-responsive, it is more than likely that you are in a new window. To get back to your previous window, close your current browser. To see an example of a link that opens a new window, click here.
A web page automatically forwarded you to an alternate page
Sometimes, when you visit a web page, it automatically forwards you to another page. If this occurs and you press the back button, you will immediately be re-forwarded to that same page. To resolve this issue, you can try one or more of the following solutions.
- Press and hold down the mouse button on the back button.
- Press the back button two or more times quickly, this will almost always get you back to a previous page. If you go back too may pages, push the forward button.
- Most new browsers have a small down arrow next to the back button. Pressing this button displays the last few pages you have visited recently. Once this list is displayed, you can select from pages you have already visited.
Other script preventing you from going back
If neither of the previous sections resolved your issue, you have encountered poor or malicious code. There are scripts that can be loaded into the browser through a web page which prevent the back arrow from functioning properly. To resolve this problem, close and re-open your browser or visit a different site.

Somehow, between the album making, memoir writing and living like she's gonna "Die Young"-ing, Ke$ha found time to pose for not one, but two magazine covers. Both Vibe and Billboard snagged the Queen of the Dollar Sign for their October issues, however their visions of the Warrior appear to be entirely different.
Ke$ha has so far been insistent that Warrior, due out in December, will show-off a side of her that might have been lost to the hard-partying on Animal/Cannibal. "The first record was a celebration of partying and being young, but this record's a better look at my personality," she tells Vibe, much like she told Rolling Stone that it will be "more personal and vulnerable." What's left when last night's mascara is wiped away? It seems that Vibe and Billboard found two very different things. What's it all mean?
Lets have a look:
Vibe, a publication that covers the hip hop community, honors Ke$ha as "Hip-Hop's Guilty Pleasure." "The first time someone called me a rapper, I started laughing," she says. "I was shocked, and thought it was hilarious. But then, Andre 3000 was telling me how he thinks I'm a good rapper. And Wiz, who's a good friend of mine, thinks I'm a good rapper? Snoop? It's crazy and funny to me." And so behind the mascara they found a vixen. She's dressed up in a black lace dress, and her bottle-blonde hair is curled and swept over her shoulder. Ever a free spirit, though, she's posed with her hands grabbing at her lady bits. Is it sexy? Is it weird? Do we like it? Does it matter? Because we can't stop looking. Though she looks more grown up, that's Ke$ha for you.
Perhaps inspired by the sexy earth goddess look Ke$ha sports in the "Die Young" art, Billboard went ahead and draped Ke$ha in some sort of sheer and ruffle-chested rob. And, other than the bouquet of extra-large flowers in her hair, that's it. They've got her posed with a serous look on her face and in a cave that's decorated with skulls and votive candles and all the sorts of adornments a wonderfully-weird pop star like she might need to work her "pop voodoo." She looks like hippie "Your Love Is My Drug" Ke$ha, but less so face painted and Burning Man-going than sexy and seeing.
So the jury is still out, as to what Ke$ha we'll find in the next round. She'll be strong and sexy, but otherwise she just is who she is, you know?

From the makers of Thrawn's Revenge: Imperial Civil War, Ascendancy is a Star Wars mod set after the Battle of Endor in the Star Wars Galaxy. Fight for galactic ascendancy as multiple factions from this period in Star Wars history.
A rundown of the second faction in Ascendancy, the more obscure Empire of the Hand, including their fleet compositions, history, and general tactics.
Posted by .Corey. on Jul 13th, 2013
The Empire of the Hand was established by the Chiss Grand Admiral Thrawn during his time in exile from the Empire, as part of an arrangement between himself and Emperor Palpatine. The purpose of the shadow empire was to establish the first defenses of the galaxy against the Yuuzhan Vong invasion in the Unknown Regions. Supplies and personel were funelled to the organization by the Empire and the Chiss Ascendancy, leading to a joint administration by Chiss and Imperials. Thrawn eventually left the Hand in order to take control of the Imperial fleet and recover the worlds lost to the New Republic, ultimately resulting in his death. Voss Parck, Soontir Fel and Stent then became the de facto leaders of the Empire of the Hand, and lead it during the following period of expansion, leaving it with several times the territory of the Imperial Remnant by 19ABY. During the Vong War it lost contact with the New Republic and Imperial Remnant, with Chiss officials insisting it had dissolved, although it would later re-emerge under the command of Jagged Fel.
"The Empire that Senior Captain Thrawn is carving into the evil that pervades our worlds is not the Empire you chose to leave.
His is an Empire of justice and dignity for all beings." - Vaantaar
The territory comprising the Empire of the Hand was largely made by voluntary coalition between Thrawn's forces and locals, as well as territory Thrawn liberated from pirate groups. As such, while it still maintains some of its Imperial character, it lacks the xenophobia of the Empire proper. One of the key advantages of the Empire of the Hand is their ability to gather intelligence about the positions and movements of enemy fleets. While it doesn't rely as extensively on culture as the New Republic, it is able to more effectively spread than that of the Remnant, although it therefore doesn't gain the same advantages from civilian repression.
"You're being granted an honor, Admiral. You're the first to behold a secret finally come to light.
You're looking at the vanguard of the Empire of the Hand." - Jag Fel
The Empire of the Hand is heavily focused on fast movement and strong defenses, both tactically and strategically. Their ships sacrifice some firepower for strong defense and quick movement, including tactical microjumps and the ability to research quicker hyperspace travel. And while their planets are less directly fortified, they can build more defensive infrastructure than other factions, and have access to the most powerful defensive structures in the mod.
...Unit List...
Fighters: Nsiss Clawcraft, Krsiss Clawcraft, Syca Bomber, Furion Bomber, Scarsiss Interceptor
Light Frigates: Consen, Vigilance, Asdroni, Au'riette, Kariek, Decimator, Feltat
Heavy Frigates: Nuruodo, Chaf, Massias, Warlord, Bu'direch
Capitals: Phalanx, Ascendancy, Gilzean, Syndic

What a convincing spambot! You're so on topic I almost didn't realise you're completely irrelevant to the news post! Whoever programmed this should be given a medal. I'm sure Kevin feels like a proper fool for providing you cover.
great news cant wait for a release :)
Wow, cool. I may end up playing as these guys a lot, their play style fits me fairly well. Well from what I've read anyway. Awesome job guys I'm really excited for the eventual release.
Cant wait to play this faction, probably first I will play when its released

Pack Finishes with Highest Ranking in Final Polls since 1999
May 1, 2012
RALEIGH, N.C.-- NC State gymnastics program finished the season ranked 17th in the final polls, according to Troester.com. The ranking comes as the highest in the final polls for the Wolfpack since 1999 in which the team finished 13th.
"Finishing among the top 20 is a big step for us, we've been flirting with it for a few years now. it will help us in recruiting because athletes will see that we are having success," said Wolfpack head coach Mark Stevenson.
The Wolfpack enjoyed a season full of success, including signature wins over then-No. 10 Penn State at the Sweetheart Invitational and the NCAA Regional. State capped off the season by receiving its tenth consecutive NCAA championship selection, and went on to finish third at the regional, just tenths shy of qualifying for the National Championships.
"One of the big parts of our success was the level and attitude of the athletes in the gym, their drive to be a team and very oriented, led to the teams' success," said coach Stevenson. "It's the best i've seen a team in quite some time here at NC Sate."
NC State finished the regular season with a record of 12-5, including a Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) of 195.870, which is used for seeding. The Pack also finished with a National Qualifying Score (NQS) of 391.845. The NQS is the sum of a team's regional meet finish and the teams' final RQS.
"The focus of the athletes to make their routines really contributed to our success this season," said Stevenson. "One of their goals they set at the beginning of the season was to have 85% of their meets with no falls counting towards the teams' score. It was surprising to me, that they saw themselves at that level and not only did they see themselves at that level they achieved it. They went over 85% of their competitions not counting a fall and that's the best we have ever done here at NC State."
The Wolfpack achieved their highest team score since 2004 against Penn State at the Sweetheart Invitational, scoring a 196.775. The score would serve as the Pack's highest score of the season as well.
NC State racked up on the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) Awards having thirteen gymnasts selected to the EAGL All-Academic Team, six selected to the All-EAGL First-team, and seven selected to the All-EAGL second team. After a great showing at the 2012 EAGL Championship, five gymnasts were named to the EAGL First-Team All-Tournament and seven were named to the EAGL Second-Team All-Tournament.
"The younger gymnasts on the team have seen and watched what success can do for you and how good it feels. They know what it took for the seniors that are leaving to put the team in a position of success and how they got there, so hopefully they will continue to pass it down," Stevenson said.
In addition to all of the other accolades, the Pack also ranked 12th nationally for average home attendance with approximately 2,026 fans at every meet. The Sweetheart Invitational served as this season's high in attendance with around 3,211 fans in attendance.
"It's awesome to have a lot of fans in the crowd. We have a really great group of followers here in Raleigh. College gymnastics is much different from olympic gymnastics where fans have to be quiet, college gymnastics is screaming and yelling and being a fan just like going to any other sporting event," said Stevenson.

Go big or go home: Eight bold fantasy predictions for 2015Andy Behrens at Roto Arcade 4 days ago
Because you probably wouldn't click on a feature called, "Eight mild predictions for 2015," let's go big and bold — teetering on the edge of recklessness. Don't even try to reconcile these predictions with the current version of my preseason fantasy ranks. Can't be done. We aren't discussing what's most likely to happen, but things that can plausibly happen.
Each year the NFL is reshaped by injuries and rule changes and suspensions and freak weather events and fluky bounces and ... well, you know how it goes. It's a constantly changing league. Not a simple landscape to assess in mid-summer.
Yet still we try. Here are eight bold-ish predictions for the year ahead...
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football: Sign up and join a league today!]
1. Ben Roethlisberger is going to finish as the season's top overall fantasy scorer.
2. Jimmy Graham will rank outside the top-5 tight ends.
3. Andre Johnson reaches double-digit touchdowns, finally.
Daily Dime: Carlos Martinez, J-Up, Dee Gordon and a day late on DudaAndy Behrens at Roto Arcade 5 days ago
OK, we're into the Thursday bargain hunt. As always, we caution you to review the weather reports and check MLB lineups before committing to your players. Let's do this thing...
[Friday Daily Fantasy contest: Turn $5 into $5K]
Carlos Martinez, P, vs. Col (Rusin), $55: Martinez may not seem like a complete steal at this price, but it's an opportunity to add an ace-like arm with a friendly match-up, without paying the Scherzer/Sale premium. He's held opponents to one earned run or less in 10 of his last 12 starts, which is just silly. Martinez is striking out a batter per inning, too. Go get a win, kid.
Lucas Duda, 1B, vs. SD (Cashner), $15: Not sure if you've heard, but he's kinda/sorta hot at the plate. Three homers on Wednesday, a 9,000-foot homer on Tuesday, two on Saturday ... he's hot, Duda. He's also cheap, for a guy on a tear.
Daily Dime: Hanley, Syndergaard, Cesar, Holliday and moreAndy Behrens at Roto Arcade 6 days ago
So that was a fairly eventful MLB Monday, complete with trades, walk-offs and save-blowing. Let's dive into the Tuesday slate, looking for bargains. Key word: Bargains . You'll find a few well-priced daily plays below; we aren't suggesting that you actually start the entire list. As always, we advise you to check the weather reports and verify the MLB lineups before committing to players. Now let's do this thing...
[Play a Daily Fantasy contest for cash today!]
Hanley Ramirez, OF, vs. CWS (Samardzija), $16: Hanley has been a carnival ride at the plate and hilarious in the field this year — a joy to watch, if you don't care about outcomes. He has a nice-if-limited history against Samardzija (8-for-19), as do other Red Sox hitters, including this guy...
Daily Dime: Charlie Blackmon and a collection of Saturday bargainsAndy Behrens at Roto Arcade 17 days ago
OK, let's roll those Lance Lynn profits into Saturday's slate of games. Per the usual protocol, we're looking for the days smartest buys and filthiest bargains. As always, we advise you to check the weather reports before committing to players. Let's invest...
[Play a Daily Fantasy contest for cash today!]
Charlie Blackmon, OF, at SD (Ross), $20: No, Blackmon isn't available in the price range that we usually explore here in the Daily Dime. But it's worth mentioning the fact that Padres starter Tyson Ross has allowed the highest stolen base total in MLB to this point in the season (25), and Blackmon happens to have swiped 24 bags (third in the N.L.). Charlie is also ludicrously hot at the plate right now, with eight multi-hit games in his last nine (17-for-41). He's basically treating the majors like 12-inch beer league softball. Play him and profit.
And while we're looking at pricier brand-name players...
Daily Dime: Jose Fernandez, Sonny Gray and an abundance of BillysAndy Behrens at Roto Arcade 18 days ago
And we're back. Everyone refreshed? Great. Yahoo's daily game has a full slate of contests , so let's sweep lineups, looking for bargain buys.
Jose Fernandez, P, at Phi (Morgan), $32: After two starts, Fernandez appears to be the same dominant right-hander we'd grown to trust, pre-TJ surgery. He's given us 13.0 innings, allowing just three runs and no walks while striking out 15 batters. Fernandez's fastball is averaging 95.4 mph, so velocity isn't a worry. I can see no reason not to trust him in this spot, against MLB's only sub-.400 team.
[Play a Daily Fantasy contest for cash today!]
Also worth noting, while we're talking Pirates: Andrew McCutchen has absolutely owned Fiers, going 6-for-16 with four homers, one walk and nine RBIs. At $19, he's a little too pricey to list among Friday's bargains, but that doesn't mean he can't help.
Daily Dime: Pollock, Hundley, Panda and other Sunday delightsAndy Behrens at Roto Arcade 23 days ago
Be mindful of ballpark weather today, because we have some ugly splotches on the radar. Below you'll find a 10-pack of bargain DFS buys for Sunday's games. Please use responsibly.
[Play a Daily Fantasy contest for cash today!]
Pablo Sandoval, 3B, vs. NYY (Eovaldi), $14: Panda's ownership of Eovaldi has been firmly established (12-for-17, HR, 10 RBIs). He hasn't been terrific this season, obviously, but right-handed pitching hasn't been the problem. He's slashing .301/.350/.466 against RHPs, but a disastrous .177/.198/.190 vs. lefties.
A.J. Pollock, OF, at NYM (Niese), $12: Pollock has been a five-category machine all season, he reached base twice on Saturday, and he hasn't had much trouble with Niese in the past (4-for-6, double, RBI). Don't ask me to explain this price. Just point, click and enjoy.
Daily Dime: Mauer, Jaso and other Friday bargainsAndy Behrens at Roto Arcade 24 days ago
If you haven't yet taken daily fantasy baseball for a test-drive, we encourage you to visit the Yahoo lobby and get yourself in the game — maybe with a free contest, maybe for $1. One-day games are the perfect complement to your season-long leagues.
Below, you'll find a 10-pack of bargain plays for the Friday slate. None of the position players listed here will cost you more than $15, none of the pitchers are $45. You shouldn't need an expert to tell you that Madison Bumgarner ($57) seems like a strong play against the Phillies, or that Bryce Harper ($23) should have quality at-bats against Chris Tillman. Here, we hunt for the sort of low-cost value plays that allow you to squeeze Bumgarner or Haper or Trout or Pujols or whoever into your lineup. Got it? Great. Let's do this thing...
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football is back: Sign up for a league today!]
At this price, with the encouraging note, I'm sold.

Daily Dime: It's a good day for Dodgers, PhilsAndy Behrens at Roto Arcade 28 days ago
We have a few small weather concerns on Monday — Kansas City certainly looks like a problem — but nothing we can't manage around. As always, be sure to double-check lineups before it's too late. Now let's get to the usual bargain hunt...
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football is back: Sign up for a league today!]
Joc Pederson, OF, vs. Phi (O'Sullivan), $3300 at FanDuel: Left-handed hitters have slashed .369/.424/.730 against O'Sullivan so far this season (41-for-111, 20 XBH), which is, of course, ridiculous. Seems like a good day to stack a few Dodgers LHBs, doesn't it? I'm rolling out 2-3 in pretty much all lineups.
Yasmani Grandal, C, vs. Phi (O'Sullivan), $3200: Please see the Pederson blurb for details. Also note that Grandal has three multi-hit games in his last four starts.
Daily Dime: Wacha, Panda and other Friday delightsAndy Behrens at Roto Arcade 1 mth ago
I'm back from vacation, thrown immediately into the DFS fire. We have some wetness in the Friday forecast, so buyers beware. Prepare to tweak lineups as needed.
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football is back: Sign up for a league today!]
Michael Wacha, P, vs. SD (Cashner), $8600 at FanDuel: OK, sure, Kershaw is the best available starter on Friday, even if he's facing a pretty fair opposing starter (Syndergaard). But Kershaw is also Friday's priciest option, massively more expensive than Wacha, a guy with a 1.10 WHIP. St. Louis hosts the Pads, and San Diego enters the day ranked next-to-last in the N.L. in on-base percentage (.295).
Pablo Sandoval, 3B, vs. Hou (Straily), $2400: Straily is obviously a hittable right-hander and Sandoval is slashing .314/.366/.492 against RHPs this year. Panda's performance versus lefties has been atrocious, as most of you know, but he's a quality option in this spot.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers thinks top players from around Europe are keen to join the Anfield revolution because of the thrilling way they have qualified for the Champions League.
Rodgers will be given £60million to spend by the club owners and has been linked with a number of targets, including Ukraine winger Yevhen Konoplyanka, Argentina's World Cup left-back Marcos Rojo and emerging England talents Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana and Steven Caulker.
Last year, Rodgers was devastated to miss out on £25m playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who chose Borussia Dortmund over Merseyside.
But Rodgers, who takes his side to Crystal Palace tomorrow night aiming to bounce back after losing at home to Chelsea last weekend, is more hopeful of landing players this time, with 96 goals in the Premier League and getting the best out of Luis Suarez.
"We had the experience last summer when players respected what we were developing at the club but wanted to play at the top level [the Champions League]," said Rodgers. "I suspect this summer will be a totally different proposition.
"Our style of football is recognised. We have a way of working and a way of playing that in particular top players want to play in, a creative attacking team that wins. Hopefully it prepares us for bringing in this calibre of player and sets us up to have a real crack at the competition."
Rodgers wants to sign at least new five players to help cope with the Premier League and Champions League.
"It's absolutely right to say that the squad isn't big enough. It needs to be improved. The owners recognise that as well. They have been great.
"They have a strategic way of looking at it and my job is to manage that,' said Rodgers. 'They have entrusted me to put my football vision in place."
Rodgers criticised Jose Mourinho's tactics after Chelsea's 2-0 victory at Anfield last Sunday, saying they had parked two buses to win. He has since called Mourinho, his former mentor, to smooth over any problems, but insists he does not regret his comments.
"It was a professional look at the game,' Rodgers said. 'I don't regret saying it was tough for us to break through, which it was."

FRIDAY NIGHTS AT NOMA: MUSIC BY THE PFISTER SISTERS5-9 p.m. December 13, 2013
This Friday night at NOMA we've got some traditional jazz by the Pfister Sisters, plus art activities at Art on the Spot.
- 5-8 p.m.: Art on the Spot
- 5-8 p.m.: Music by the Pfister Sisters
- 7 p.m.: Film: American Experience: Ansel Adams
About the Pfister Sisters
The Pfister Sisters have performed for over 30 years in their hometown New Orleans, as well as touring in the United States and Europe. They have appeared on HBO's Treme, and just recently performed at both the French Quarter Fest and Jazz Fest. They have worked with a number of artists including Linda Rondstadt, the Neville Brothers, Dr. John, Harry Shearer, The Dukes of Dixieland, and Maxene Andrews of the Andrews Sisters.
About American Experience: Ansel Adams (100 mins)
Few Americans have reached a wider audience, or enjoyed more widespread popularity in their own lifetime, than Ansel Adams. None has had a more profound impact on how Americans grasp the majesty of their continent, or done more to transform how people think and fell about the meaning of the natural world.
Ansel Adams is the intimate portrait of a great artist and ardent environmentalist – for whom life and art, photography and wilderness, creativity and communication, love and expression, were inextricably connected.

"The education that I received at Lake Superior State University has opened many doors for me. I have worked with Firefighters and Paramedics for over thirty years as a co-worker, educator, and student. I have been very blessed in my life to have these opportunities. I truly believe that education is the cornerstone of everyone's career and LSSU provides the best.
My future goals are to become the Director of a Fire Science program and follow in the footsteps of the great educators that I have had the privilege of learning from. This will not be easy, but I believe that these Professors have prepared me to be successful. My achievements will be a direct result of the knowledge that they have bestowed upon me. It will then be my obligation to share this knowledge with others. "

"One of my favorite things about LSSU is its size. The classrooms, especially as you get to the upper levels, get smaller, so you not only have a chance to discuss your ideas in an honest, supportive manner, but you also get to know your professors and classmates. The upper level courses really allow you to focus on what you love, and the small class size allows you to have time to share and to discuss your ideas."

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- If flooded roadways are keeping you from returning home, it is important to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for help that may include rental assistance from the agency's Individuals and Households Program (IHP).
When homes are inaccessible due to a disaster, as is the case for many in Missouri, FEMA generally provides rental assistance. Additional assistance may be provided on a month-by-month basis while the homes remain inaccessible.
The amount renters receive is the "fair market rate" for rental housing appropriate for the size of the household in their county of residence. Those values are determined annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD.
Registration may be completed online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov, by smartphone through m.FEMA.gov, or by calling FEMA's toll-free registration line at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362). Those with access or functional needs who use a TTY, call 1-800-462-7585 directly; if you use 711 or Video Relay Service (VRS), call 1-800-621-3362 Multi-language assistance is available. Telephone registration is available daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., until further notice.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Uncertainty in eddy covariance flux estimates resulting from spectral attenuation [Chapter 4]
Massman, W. J.; Clement, R. 2004. Uncertainty in eddy covariance flux estimates resulting from spectral attenuation [Chapter 4]. In: Lee, X.; Massman, W. J.; Law, B. E. Handbook of Micrometeorology: A Guide to Surface Flux Measurements. Dordrecht, Netherlands: Springer. p. 39-71.
Surface exchange fluxes measured by eddy covariance tend to be underestimated as a result of limitations in sensor design, signal processing methods, and finite flux-averaging periods. But, careful system design, modern instrumentation, and appropriate data processing algorithms can minimize these losses, which, if not too large, can be estimated and corrected using any of several different approaches. However, no flux-correction method is perfect so methodological uncertainties are inevitable. This study addresses the uncertainties in surface flux measurements that have been corrected for spectral attenuation with the transfer function approach. The sources of the errors in the estimates of flux attenuation examined here include the (flux-averaging) period-to-period variablity of cospectra, the departure of real cospectra from presumed smooth curves, the inherent variability in maximum frequency (fx) of the frequency weighted cospectra, and possible imprecision in instrument related time constants. A method is proposed to estimate the uncertainty resulting from combining these effects. Also included in this study are a general mathematical relationship to describe spectra or cospectra, comparisons of observed cospectra for cospectral similarity, and discussions about including high-pass filters (associated with the flux-averaging procedures) when accounting for low frequency losses.
Keywords: eddy covariance flux estimates, surface exchange fluxes, spectral attenuation

Duped. (Soaps.com)
Despite Holden being the love of Lily's life, they hit a few rough patches in their decades' long relationship. One of their first obstacles was Holden knowing, but not telling Lily about Iva and Josh being her real parents. Then, Holden married Emily and Lily grew close to his brother Caleb. Next, there was Lily's first husband Derek Mason.
Derek was in Oakdale from 1988 – 1990. Along with his father Niles, he schemed to get Lily's money. Derek married her and convinced her to change her will, naming him as the sole beneficiary. However, Derek started to fall in love with Lily and tried to call off his father's plan.
Niles was determined to see his plan through and set a bomb for his daughter-in-law. The plan backfired though when Derek intervened in order to save Lily and died in the explosion.

Fireworks store owners say their sales have been down in the past couple of weeks. The reason they give: Allen County's burn ban has put a damper on buyer enthusiasm. Any hope of recovery seems dim with the burn ban expected to be extended through July Fourth.
According to a Fort Wayne ordinance, fireworks can be set off from 5 p.m. until two hours after sunset Friday-Tuesday and July 5-9. They can be used 10 a.m.-midnight July Fourth. Use outside of these times could result in a fine between $150 and $500.
However, most of northeast Indiana is experiencing a severe drought, and on June 15 Allen County Commissioners passed a burn ban that places restrictions on residential grilling, campfires/fire pits, bonfires and fireworks. Under this ban, lighting fireworks is illegal except by professionals who have received permits.
Allen County Commissioners spokesman Mike Green says this ban is still in effect and will likely be extended through July Fourth. Green adds that the state law allowing the discharge of fireworks applies only when conditions are safe for it. But he says that conditions "are far from right."
The Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation Department issued a release Wednesday stating that fireworks are never allowed in city parks. The department warns that the ordinance will be enforced and asked for people to report scofflaws.
Tennessee Fireworks at 6404 E. State Blvd. reminds residents that it is still legal to buy fireworks. Tennessee Fireworks will be holding a free fire safety seminar at 7 tonight in Georgetown Square.
Even though sales are low now, firework stores are still not worried. USA Fireworks cashier Derek Gunter says that he is hoping for rain to lift the burn ban, but planning on business at the Hillegas Road store to pick up the week of July Fourth.
According to the National Weather Service, the forecast isn't looking good for his hopes. No rain is forecast and high temperatures are expected to be in the 90s through Independence Day.

Deciding to have some fun at Pluto's expense, the Chips hide in the tree during the decoration process and cheerfully chow down on the candy canes.

The Zhoosh! Brighton Blog
Why put on a "gay" play? Director of 'Canary' explains.
Post by Steven Adam, Director of upcoming theatre show "Canary" – 50 years of gay history told through the story of one family. Written by Jonathan Harvey – award winning author of 'Beautiful Thing'.
"Women and gay people are the litmus test of whether a society is democratic and respecting human rights. We are the canaries in the mine." – Peter Tatchell
Gay people have it easy now, we have civil partnerships, an equal age of consent and civil liberties. So why put on a "gay" play? This was the question I was asked, and I asked myself, when I put forward to direct this play. Three years ago I directed Beautiful Thing, Jonathan Harvey's tale of young love and coming out, and at the time some people thought that it was now a period piece and that there were no longer any issues with being gay and coming out.
But I think that gay people still have a way to go until we achieve full equality and have the same respect in society that straight people take for granted. Living in Brighton we become immune to the problems that people face outside our little enlightened bohemia. In many parts of the world gay people are still criminalised, imprisoned, persecuted and even executed just because of their sexuality. Even with the "Arab Spring" gay rights are not being adopted in these newly "liberated" countries.
In Russia and the former Eastern Block countries of Europe gay rights are being suppressed and gay pride protests are declared illegal and cracked down on by the police. Even here and in Western Europe and America we face the struggle for gay marriage to be legalised and our relationships to be seen on an equal par with straight ones.
Gay people still find it hard to be themselves without fear of violence and ridicule within their communities in parts of the UK. Homophobic attacks, including murders, have been on the increase in recent years and the bullying of students considered to be gay has resulted in suicides in both the UK and the US. Just earlier this year two friends of mine were beaten up late at night in 'safe and accepting' Brighton, just for holding hands in the street.
It continues to be hard to come out to your families and friends and always will do whilst there is shame and stigma attached to being gay. So yes, we have come a long way but we also have some way to go.
That's why I thought it was important to stage Canary. It details the struggles that gay people have gone through over the last 50 years and the struggles they encounter today. It is important to remind ourselves of the past and reflect on the achievements that have been made whilst acknowledging the issues we still face. This will be the amateur premiere of the play and I think that if no other amateur group felt able to put it on, then one in Brighton definitely should!
But Canary is far from a dry "issues" play, Jonathan Harvey has written a great character-led piece that veers between high drama and camp comedy. As well as a tragic tale of lives led in secret, gay conversions therapies and the high toll that AIDS inflicted, expect cross dressing teenage boys, policemen caught with their trousers down, high kicking nuns and star turns from Mary Whitehouse and Margaret Thatcher! It's a deeply moving, funny, uplifting and magical play.
Do not go gently. Do not keep silent. Because one day we'll all be tulips.
2nd – 9th March 2013 at 7.45pm at Brighton Little Theatre

Find out what's lurking behind the kitchen door of your favorite
restaurant. How do they fair under the watchful eye of the Brazos County Health Department? KBTX continues to look at which Brazos Valley restaurants are making the grade and which ones aren't.
Here's what inspectors found during the week of November 11:
The catering kitchen at Reed Arena was temporarily shut down for rodent droppings. Inspectors also found slime in the ice machine. To clarify this closing , this was not the Reed concession stand, but the catering kitched at Reed.
It's a 75 for Fox and the Hound on University Drive.
The bar and grill lost points for luke warm milk, a dirty oven and dirty trays.
McDonalds on Villa Maria in Bryan scores an 82 for flies and a fly swatter stored on top of a grill.
Inspectors found a small bug in the flour at Chef Cao's on Texas Avenue in Bryan. That plus dirty dishes results in an 86.
And neighboring restaurants Cenare and Mr. G's on University Drive receive perfect 100s.

With the release just a few hours away it appears as though Call of Duty fans in France may suffer from a shortage of copies however it's unlikely to dent CoD's overall success
Criminals drove into a van containing what is believed to have been a large shipment of the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, tear-gassed the driver and then made off with the vehicle.
While it hasn't officially been confirmed that the truck did in fact contain copies of the highly-anticipated title various news sources have reported that the truck contained nearly 6000 copies of the title, a quantity amounting to around 400,000 Euros or around £342,000. Of course one of the main issues facing the criminals will be getting rid of a shipment this large, especially when it's of official copies of the game.
This isn't the first time the Call of Duty franchise has been the victim of criminal activity, just a few weeks ago an employee stole a copy of the title and then illegally uploaded the game onto the internet. Activision although not confirming the theft has released a statement that anyone playing the game before the release date could face a ban.
With Battlefield 3 having netted huge sales on its opening launch the pressure will surely be on for Modern Warfare 3 to echo that success. Will you be heading out at midnight tonight to get a copy of the game? Let us know via the comments box below...

A 34-year-old man was convicted of illegal possession of a banded Gila monster after the reptile bit him and he had to be rushed to a local hospital.
According to reports, Derek Nathaneal Castaneda of San Pedro, did not have a permit for the venomous reptile, whose bite can be deadly. He was knocked unconscious by the bite and rushed to the hospital. The Gila monster measured 18 inches and was captured and taken to the Orange County Zoo. After the January attack, officials also found two rattlesnakes without valid permits and they euthanized both of them.
Castaneda was convicted of the unlawful possession of a native California reptile species and the unlawful keeping of a wild reptile without a permit.
He was sentenced to three years probation, he must attend 16 animal neglect classes and had been ordered to pay a $1,000 fine to the Department of Fish and Game Wildlife Preservation Fund as well as attend 52 Alcoholic Anonymous Classes. He was already on probation from a previous DUI case.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
2:18-25 Servants in those days generally were slaves, and had heathen masters, who often used them cruelly; yet the apostle directs them to be subject to the masters placed over them by Providence, with a fear to dishonour or offend God. And not only to those pleased with reasonable service, but to the severe, and those angry without cause. The sinful misconduct of one relation, does not justify sinful behaviour in the other; the servant is bound to do his duty, though the master may be sinfully froward and perverse. But masters should be meek and gentle to their servants and inferiors. What glory or distinction could it be, for professed Christians to be patient when corrected for their faults? But if when they behaved well they were ill treated by proud and passionate heathen masters, yet bore it without peevish complaints, or purposes of revenge, and persevered in their duty, this would be acceptable to God as a distinguishing effect of his grace, and would be rewarded by him. Christ's death was designed not only for an example of patience under sufferings, but he bore our sins; he bore the punishment of them, and thereby satisfied Divine justice. Hereby he takes them away from us. The fruits of Christ's sufferings are the death of sin, and a new holy life of righteousness; for both which we have an example, and powerful motives, and ability to perform also, from the death and resurrection of Christ. And our justification; Christ was bruised and crucified as a sacrifice for our sins, and by his stripes the diseases of our souls are cured. Here is man's sin; he goes astray; it is his own act. His misery; he goes astray from the pasture, from the Shepherd, and from the flock, and so exposes himself to dangers without number. Here is the recovery by conversion; they are now returned as the effect of Divine grace. This return is, from all their errors and wanderings, to Christ. Sinners, before their conversion, are always going astray; their life is a continued error.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 23. - Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not (comp. Isaiah 53:7). The Lord again and again denounced the hypocrisy and unbelief of the Pharisees; he bade Caiaphas remember the coming judgment. But that was the language of prophetic warning, the sternness of love. He sets before them the impending punishment, that they may take heed in time and escape from the wrath to come. In the midst of his strongest invective against the sins and hollow unreality of Pharisaism there is an outburst of the deepest love, the tenderest concern (Matthew 23:27). But committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. The verb "committed" παρεδίδου) is without an object in the original. Most commentators supply "himself," or "his cause;" others, "his sufferings;" some, as Alford, "those who inflicted them." Perhaps the last explanation is the best: he left them to God, to God's mercy, if it might be; to his judgment, if it must be. There may be a reference to his prayer, "Father, forgive them." Compare by contrast the language of Jeremiah, speaking in the spirit of the Old Testament (Jeremiah 11:20 and Jeremiah 20:12). There is a curious reading, entirely without the authority of existing Greek manuscripts, represented by the Vulgate, Tradebat judicanti se injuste, as if the words were understood of the Lord's submitting himself "to one who judged unrighteously," that is, to Pilate.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Who when he was reviled, reviled not again,.... When he was reproached as a glutton, a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners, all the reply he made was, that Wisdom is justified of her children; and when he was charged with casting out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of devils, he defended himself, not with bad language, but with strong reasonings; and when he was said to be a Samaritan, and had a devil, his only answer was, that he had not, that he honoured his Father, and they dishonoured him; and when he was reviled on the cross, by those that passed by, by the chief priests, and Scribes, and the thieves that were crucified with him, he made no return, he opened not his mouth, and much less in a recriminating way,
When he suffered he threatened not; when he endured buffetings, and scourgings in his body, when the officers in the palace of the high priests spit in his face, buffeted him, and smote him with the palms of their hands, and bid him prophesy who smote him, all which were very provoking; yet he said not one word to them, much less threatened them with what he would do to them for such usage another day, when he would let them know, with vengeance, who it was that smote him; no, he took all patiently from them, and from Pilate, and the Roman soldiers, when scourged by them; he gave his back to the smiters, and his cheeks to them that plucked off the hair; and when he suffered crucifixion, and was put to such distressing pains and agonies, he did not threaten his crucifiers with a future judgment, when he would take vengeance, and execute his wrath upon them, but prays to his Father for the forgiveness of their sins: and, as it follows,
but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously; he commended his Spirit, or soul, to God his Father, and committed his cause to him, to vindicate it in what way he should think fit, who he knew was the Judge of all the earth, that would do right; and so the Syriac version supplies it with "his judgment": which he left with God, the righteous Judge, to whom vengeance belongs; and which is an example, and an instruction to the saints to do so likewise; not to render railing for railing, or to seek revenge, but to leave their cause with their God, who will, in his own time, avenge the wrongs and injuries done them. The Vulgate Latin version reads, contrary to all the Greek copies, and other versions, "but delivered himself to him that judgeth unjustly"; the sense of which is, that Christ delivered himself into the hands of Pilate, who unjustly condemned him to death; but is neither the reading, nor sense of the text.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
23. Servants are apt to "answer again" (Tit 2:9). Threats of divine judgment against oppressors are often used by those who have no other arms, as for instance, slaves. Christ, who as Lord could have threatened with truth, never did so.
committed himself—or His cause, as man in His suffering. Compare the type, Jer 11:20. In this Peter seems to have before his mind Isa 53:8. Compare Ro 12:19, on our corresponding duty. Leave your case in His hands, not desiring to make Him executioner of your revenge, but rather praying for enemies. God's righteous judgment gives tranquillity and consolation to the oppressed.
1 Peter 2:23 Additional Commentaries
Christ's Example of Suffering
…22WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH; 23and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.…

In a fiscal 2013 budget the Obama administration says commits to border and aviation security, prepares for disaster relief, and boosts cybersecurity, the White House requested $39.5 billion for the Homeland Security Department next year, just a 0.5 percent decrease from current spending.
President Obama asks for $6.1 billion in disaster-relief funds for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and $1 billion for retaining, rehiring, and hiring firefighters amid a budget that reflects the wide range of ways the U.S. is continuing to beef up homeland security entering the second decade after 9/11.
The request also includes $769 million to improve federal civilian computer networks. The administration continues to address criticism that the nation's cybersecurity defenses remain disjointed. In January, several members of the Senate Intelligence Committee blasted the FBI and intelligence officials for not working together with Congress to devise new and clear lines of authority for the nation's total cyberdefense efforts.
The White House also is asking for $650 million in additional funding for terrorism-related cyberdefenses, explosives detection, and federal responses for chemical and biological weapons attack; $658 million for a new Coast Guard cutter; and $117 million to increase explosives detection at America's airports.
Obama's budget would fund 21,186 customs and border control officers and 21,370 border patrol agents.

Summer is here. Well, in the TV sense anyway. Shows we'd normally watch on Tuesday night like Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls have already called it a season, which is why we're forced to expand our horizons starting now. Suddenly, we're open to checking out Jamie Kennedy's new MTV show Jamie Kennedy's Blowin' Up. Suddenly, it's okay to watch a Jeff Foxworthy special on Comedy Central. And yes, maybe now's the time to finally check out Pepper Dennis. I said maybe.
This summer talk might be premature, though. Tonight we still have some quality programming left. We have the season finales of Scrubs, Boston Legal, and NCIS; one of the last remaining episodes of American Idol and an all new House. Not bad. So what are YOU watching tonight? Vote now!

-- Hoboken native Joe Pantoliano comes on strong with a new film and a starring role on 'The Sopranos' 02/25/01
It is five days into Sundance 2001, the hit-the-wall midpoint when people start to crack.
At the Shadow Ridge Hotel, the tiny temporary offices of one publicity firm have begun to resemble the stateroom scene from "A Night at the Opera." Every inch of space is covered with slides and Starbucks cups. Publicists and reporters stand four deep in the galley kitchen, or prowl the hotel hallway trying to get a clear signal on their cell phones.
And Joe Pantoliano, his eyes merry behind small round glasses, stands in the middle of it all, watching the chaos and smiling.
"The whole thing's become such a money machine," the Hoboken native says later, settling into a chair in a spare bedroom. "I've been coming up here for 10 years, but I don't come for the festival. I come up to ski, 'cause there's nobody on the hill; they're all seeing movies. Me, in 10 years, I think I've seen two movies here. I didn't see any movies this time. I didn't even see my movie here."
Joe Pantoliano's movie is called "Memento," and if he didn't see it at Sundance this week, he was the only one. The film, a wild amnesiac thriller starring Pantoliano as an ambiguous cop, arrived with major buzz; by the end of the week, it will leave the festival with rave reviews and a screenwriting award. It opens in New York and L.A. on March 16, and Pantoliano is already calling it one of the best things he has ever done.
"I've been over 20 years in the business, been in over 70 films," he says. "And there are some I'm very proud of. I'm proud of 'Midnight Run,' a classic comedy. I'm proud of 'The Matrix,' a groundbreaking movie. I'm proud of 'Bound.' And I'm very proud of 'Memento,' because it's just executed brilliantly."
Pantoliano, 47, will have more to be proud of soon. Next month, when "The Sopranos" begins its third season, he joins the HBO show as Ralphie Cifaretto, the new captain of the Aprile family. After that, he's set to make his debut behind the camera with the black comedy "Wildlife Incorporated." And there's still "Just Like Mona," the growing-up-in-Jersey story he has written and cast and is ready to go, once he can find a spare couple of months to shoot it.
"You know, I moved to California 20 years ago because I had no career," he says with a grin. "Nobody would hire me in New York, so I thought, okay, I'll go to Hollywood and if that doesn't work, I'll get a job as a waiter. But lately I've been lucky -- my stars are all aligned now -- and we've been able to move back East. It's a great feeling."
A great feeling, perhaps, but Pantoliano's admiring directors say it has nothing to do with luck.
"I've been a fan of his since he played Guido, the killer pimp in 'Risky Business,'" says Chris Nolan, who directed "Memento." "Everybody knows Joey -- and everybody knows him from a different movie. He has this familiarity that you can't quite pin down, which was perfect for this film."
"I first wanted to work with him 15 or 20 years ago, when I think he came in to read for a 'Rockford Files,'" says David Chase, creator of "The Sopranos." "He's a really fine, fine actor with great range. He can be very serious, and also very funny . . . and he can also, if he wants to, draw upon those Jersey, Italian-American roots."
Those roots run deep. Born in the projects of Hoboken, Pantoliano grew up in a tough neighborhood and an even tougher culture, where he was known as "Joey Pants" and his family was known to the police. He may be playing in "The Sopranos" soon, but 30 years ago, he could have joined them for real.
"My mother ran numbers to make ends meet," he says, matter-of-factly. "My stepfather was a career criminal -- I remember him standing in the kitchen, the morning he heard his partner had been murdered in Brooklyn, and seeing the color wash out of his face. . . . Growing up in Hoboken, you were surrounded by these characters, dozens and dozens of characters. That stuff stays with you."
What also stayed with Pantoliano was the poverty -- the meanness of the small rooms, the smallness of the mean streets, the money lost on once-in-a-lifetime long shots or painfully paid out to loan sharks.
"I hated being poor, and I wanted to escape," he says. "But I knew I didn't want to buy a gun and steal, like my stepfather, and I didn't have the goods to go to college. So that left being a performer, and I couldn't sing or dance, so that left being an actor. . . . It's funny, because my family were degenerate gamblers, and the one thing I always said I'd never be is a gambler. And then I went into show business and I've been doing it ever since, every day, you know, looking for work."
The gamble took a while to pay off. ("For the first six, seven years of my career, I made $1,000 acting," he says. "Total.") But then, in 1979, Pantoliano followed in the footsteps of another Hoboken paisan, winning the part of Maggio in the TV version of "From Here to Eternity." It was a great big break, although still not enough to put him on top.
"If he could walk in Frank's shoes, they must have seen something in him," insists Chase, looking back at Pantoliano's career. "But when we tried to put him in a pilot I was doing at CBS, the network wouldn't go for it. In those days, even more than today, they wanted classic leading men, and his type -- they just couldn't see it."
Pantoliano kept at it, though, bouncing from interesting movies such as "The Idolmaker," "Empire of the Sun" and "The Fugitive" to appalling failures like "Monsignor," "Zandalee" and "Steal Big, Steal Little." Even if he was less than thrilled with some of the projects -- Remember "Congo," "The Final Terror" and that single-season sitcom "The Fanelli Boys"? -- he refused to complain about the roles, and remained proud of the career.
"When I started in this business I was playing the best friend in comedies, and they wouldn't consider me for a dramatic role," he says with a shrug. "Then when I did my first dramatic role, it was, 'Oh, he's a dramatic actor,' and I couldn't get comedies. . . . Most of the time, I get roles that I'm really overqualified to play, roles that are underwritten that I have to make interesting. But you've got to play the hand that's dealt you."
"Unlike some of the leading men of the day, Joey has this huge history of experience -- there's almost nothing you can throw at him that he hasn't done," says Nolan. "But he is one of those great character actors who can do so much more than he's usually allowed to do. And I think he's developed a way of dealing with the world, of using his sense of humor to disguise how incredibly intelligent he is."
That intelligence may not be the kind that shows up on an SAT test or a Mensa application. No one will ever mistake Joseph Pantoliano for some Oxford-educated actor, or ask him to do his own one-man show of the Bard. Yet there's a broad streak of street smarts there, a strong supply of Jersey wit that keeps this Hoboken boy grounded (and coming back -- he still keeps an apartment there, in addition to the Connecticut country home he shares with his wife, Nancy, and three daughters).
"I'm just very lucky," Pantoliano repeats. "You know, there are thousands of actors in the (Screen Actors) Guild who didn't make a nickel last year. When we were shooting 'The Matrix,' Carrie-Anne Moss lost her health insurance because she hadn't worked enough days in the U.S. the year before. . . . I just became a SAG board member last year, and these are the things we're fighting for: health insurance, residuals, union jobs. To keep our art form as an art form, and not a hobby."
The art form in the other room is publicity, where relay teams of media mavens are scarfing down food and spinning stories, and the reporters look as glazed as the doughnuts. Sitting in this spare bedroom, though, Pantoliano seems calm. He has already "sung for his supper," as he puts it; after this interview, he's done, and heading back to the ski slopes.
And if the idea of regular-guy Joey Pants at a terminally trendy ski chalet sounds improbable to you, it's no more improbable than anything else in the man's long career.
"I remember being a young actor, walking to acting school, imagining the dolly shots and cameras filming me," he says. "Well, I've fulfilled that dream. I'm living that dream. I've been able to provide for my family for 20 years, working as an actor. I'm about to direct my first film. . . . It could all end tomorrow. But every time I get hired, it's a gift."

text: For today's chart we have chosen to take a look at IBM because it is quickly approaching the neckline of a well-formed head and shoulders pattern. As you know, this type of pattern is often used by technical traders to predict a change in the direction of the current uptrend, and is generally deemed to be quite reliable. The reason that the head and shoulders pattern is so popular is because it accurately depicts what is happening to the supply and demand of the security. The first trough found after the left shoulder is the first indication that the strength of the uptrend is dwindling and about to reverse.

I kind of want to get Digimon Cyber Sleuth, but wonder if I should wait and see it gets localized first
as far as GOTY for 2014 goes I gave it to Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Returns
If I bought the PS4 in 2014 I probably would have gave it to Dragon Age Inquistion
and on unrelated things
kindd of been having the same dream for a couple weeks or so not sure if I should concerned or not Already bad enough that I seem to be a dragon in about 95% of the dreams I have now, so I don't know.
Anyway in said dream I seem to be flying around in the town I live in quite a bit mostly at night then have chains come up from the ground pulling me into a demonic realm then I ended up getting trapped inside a dark crystal. Well, even if this does happen I'm not going to prevent if I could. The last one I posted I think I was mostly wondering around in a demonic realm and not sure why they seem bent on convincing me I'm the princess of the dark crystal kingdom either that they also hook up some cables to the crystal not sure what they are planning but feels like they zap my energy from me then I end up waking up with hedache. probably nothing that is good so I'll destroy them since I'm not planning on letting them use the powers of darkness for whatever they want.
Anyway aside from that kind of actually haven't been playing video games much, that mostly because my heart likes to speed up sometimes and it feels like I'm dying(honestly I almost wish it would kill me) not sure if it is Anxiety or Panic attacks or something seem to be triggered for no reason and this is part of the reason why I'm not looking for another job much other then the one I have, but I do need a better job still...
and been mostly playing Nintendo 3DS
Anyway if anyone wants to add me on PSN or Nintendo Wii U let me know
