Pictures posted of Edison Birthplace visit
I just recently found out that Mr. Edison was actually a horrible person. At one point in time while he was in competition with another man over AC or DC current,(which was better to use), he inhumanely electrocuted an elephant in front of hundreds of people, partially for amusement purposes. Google it.
That other man would be Nikola Tesla, happyfeet. A true genius whose ideas were stolen by Edison. Edison had the backing of the robber barons. Many of Tesla's ideas and inventions have yet to realize fruition because of greed.
Thank you. I had seen it in a documentary HBO put out and couldn't remember Tesla's name. Had my 3 daughters watch it and they were as shocked as I was. Strange how there are so many things that aren't talked about. I grew up for a short time in Milan and even recently signed a petition for his statue to be put up, now I'm absolutely disgusted by him and his actions,Don't get me started on Christopher Columbus!
Kudos to you, Eve.

Rowland told authorities he thought the movement in the heavily wooded area was an animal.
Claiborne County Sheriff David Ray told 10News after the incident that the three hunters were camouflaged, and weren't wearing appropriate orange colors for hunting.

I've always wondered why they don't take cyclists and pedestrians under the road, particularly at intersections like the St Lukes overbridge. It's a method used in Davis CA a lot, essentially a very big drain pipe gets laid under the road and becomes a safe path for bikes.
I'd love to know the answer to this as well; surely it would be a simple and inexpensive solution to separating cyclists\pedestrians from motorized vehicles.

Read Poems by
Osayande Osaghae
Just want to make a committment;
it ain't an argument
but it is to augment
my most valuable agreement
with my Father, Creator of the whole firmament.
It is not a compliment;
but I want to use it to complement
my most intimate sentiment
which I always break, at my own detriment
but now, I seek an eternal settlement.
In any event, Lord, I repent
of any involvement in violating the sacrament;
involving a present status of undefilement
that my unseen foes want to dement.
Lord, this day I write this testament
from the bottom of my heartm I relent;
never will I fall back into the dregs of bewitchment
but will press on; with this, I seek Your Consent
which is all I need that will my eternity with You cement.

Ward: Waiting to exhaleWritten by Lisa Renee Ward | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Few should have been surprised that Gov. John Kasich's State of the State address was unscripted. He told Ohio media he was not planning on using scripted text or a teleprompter.
Any doubts should have immediately vanished when one of the first things Kasich said was, "Well, first of all, I don't want to screw this up; my wife Karen Kasich is in the gallery. Could you recognize her, please?"
While Kasich offered few details during the more than one-hour address, he did sprinkle it with a few slogans, referencing Toledo, The Andersons and "Nationwide Insurance, they're always on your side."
It was more of a rambling grouping of talking points with some inspirational platitudes than a traditional State of the State address. What audience the speech was designed for was unclear, though he drew some inspiration from Bachman Turner Overdrive — "You ain't seen nothing yet."
He went from talking about a trip to Mexico with his wife to a "one-horse town, a half-a-horse town" where they spotted a Sherwin-Williams store to how we need to promote and sell Lake Erie.
While there were no specifics as to what the education plan will be, Kasich did state that he had bought the movie "Waiting for 'Superman'" and that he was going to make sure it was shown throughout the state.
"You watch this movie, it will get you angry, it will get you frustrated, it will make you cry," Kasich said. "And it will get you to begin to stand up for our kids."
Toledo was specifically referenced near the end of the address.
"Let's talk about Toledo, Toledo's been sliding, you go there, you see a lot of buildings but not a lot of people walking around in the morning. It's a great town, it created First Solar," Kasich said. "First Solar was one of the most rapidly rising companies on the New York Stock Exchange. They want a photovoltaic center up in Toledo. We're thinking about it, we'd love to do that.
"They've got The Andersons, go to The Andersons, everybody's at home. The specialty manufacturing, Owens Illinois, so many of the manufacturing in Toledo is forward-looking," he said. "The University of Toledo … and of course the Jeep plant."
Kasich hinted that cuts are coming and that his budget will include restructuring of government.
"Well, I tell you what, we've been looking at this for a long time and we believe in not just cutting a budget — oh, there will be cuts, but that's not the way to get there," Kasich said. "We believe in restructuring."
The City of Toledo is required to pass a balanced budget by March 31. As was pointed out at the March 8 Toledo City Council meeting by Councilman George Sarantou, it's not known what the state funding will be.
"We are waiting on the State of Ohio to find out exactly what our local government share allocation will be, as well as what they are going to propose with regard to possible reductions in the estate tax," Sarantou said. "Those two items alone are about $6 million affecting our budget and unfortunately we can't really do anything until we find out what Columbus is proposing, so we can make the kinds of adjustments in the budget."
Funding is going to be cut, which will increase the previously predicted $6 million deficit, create some last-minute scrambling to pass a balanced budget and pressure to increase fees, like the trash fee.
A special Council meeting has been scheduled for March 28 so there would be several days to pass a budget.
It's why many were holding their breath, hoping for details in the State of the State address — they will now have to wait until Gov. Kasich unveils his budget on March 15. A town hall meeting is set for 6 p.m. at the Capitol Theater in Columbus. It will be broadcast live on the Internet and via satellite to Ohio television stations.
The release states the governor will take questions from the audience and online. "I'm going to take folks' questions for as long as I can until they start to turn out the lights on me," Kasich said.

Video:Quick Tip: What is a Pronoun?with Heather Kamins
Pronouns are a part of speech that are used to replace nouns so that the same words aren't repeated. Watch this About.com video to learn more examples of pronouns.See Transcript
Transcript:Quick Tip: What is a Pronoun?
Hi, I'm Heather Kamins for About.com, and I'm here to talk to you about what a pronoun is.
How Pronouns Are Used
A pronoun is a part of speech that stands in for a noun. These are words like he, she, it and they. You can use pronouns in your writing so you don't have to keep repeating the same word over and over. So for example, take these couple of sentences:My friend's bicycle is red. It has a bell and a basket, and my friend rides it everywhere.
Unclear Pronouns
It's important to be clear which noun the pronoun is standing in for. That noun is called the antecedent. Usually the antecedent will be the last noun in the sentence or passage that matches the pronoun in terms of gender and number. If your antecedent is unclear, your sentence or passage can be confusing or example: My dog, Sam, loves the mailman. He always barks happily when he arrives. In that example, it sounds like the mailman is the one barking.
Thanks for watching. To learn more, visit us on the web at About.com.

Korsakov Borzoi Kennel was established in 1969 when owner, Jane Maddox Bishop, purchased the lovely four month old puppy Loral's Matvey, from Lorraine Groshans of the famed Loral Kennels. I am forever grateful to Lorraine for entrusting this puppy to a novice 14 year old. Owner handled, this son of the exquisite
BIS/BISS Ch. Loral's Iossif Ivanevitch
, went on to become a Top Ten winner (for several consecutive years), and multiple-group winner, ~
Ch. Loral's Matvey, CDX, Can. CD
. Matvey was also the Top Obediance Borzoi with the Borzoi Club of America in 1971.
In 1973 I acquired the puppy who would eventually become the multiple-group winning
Ch. Cossack's Frivolous Fawn.
She was the result of the brother-sister breeding of BISS/Top Winner
Ch. Cossack's Aristotle x Ch. Cossack's Aphrodite
(both sired by Ch. Loral's Iossif Ivanevitch x Ch. Petrikov Tascha of Helicon) Once again, I was very fortunate to have earned the respect of a reputable breeder - Harry Ohlinger & Jeff Campbell of Cossack Borzoi Kennels when they placed Fawn with me. Fawn was the foundation bitch for Korsakov Kennels.
Over the past 40 plus years, West Virginia ~ to Florida ~ to Virginia's Chesapeake Bay area, I have developed a carefully planned breeding program, focused on quality ~ not quantity. Twelve litters in over 30 years have produced over 30 champions, including some titled in other countries, Top Ten winners, multiple group winners in various countries, and top producers.
My philosophy is that a Borzoi must be structurally correct and sound, with ample body, spring of rib and muscle, to be able to do the job he was developed to do ~ chase and bring down a wolf. The entire structure of the Borzoi was developed in order to have a dog capable of this task. The strong jaw with good length, correct bite, parallel planes, strong oval neck, correct front assembly, bladed bone, good depth and spring of rib, correctly placed and flexible arch over the loin, and a powerful driving rear are necessary. Correct type with a lovely coat is icing on the cake. A good hound cannot be a bad color.. Good temperment and health are also of utmost importance..

text: Bruce Irvin Closes Out the NFL Preseason With a Bang (On Terrelle Pryor) Bruce Irvin Closes Out the NFL Preseason With a Bang (On Terrelle Pryor) Featured SHARE Caleb Wygal , August 31, 2012 / 288 0 If you read anything about Bruce Irvin on this site or anywhere else throughout the first three games of the NFL Preseason, you would know that Seattle's first-round pick had failed to appear in the box score for any game. No tackles. No sacks. No impact plays. He did hit Peyton Manning once. Fans were already calling him a bust. What those fans didn't see in those three games, and what culminated in last night's win over Oakland, was Irvin improved in each game. In the opener against Tennessee, he was overshadowed by Darius Reynaud's coming out party and looked ineffective. Couldn't get off his blocks and couldn't apply any sort of pressure. Week 2 against Denver was a little better. Irvin started to show a new bull-rush – the move he used to get to Manning. In Week 3, he was able to apply consistent pressure against the Chiefs. Again, no stats to show for it, but he improved from one game to the next. "I just feel like I'm comfortable now. Those first couple of games, I didn't know what to expect," he said. "Those were my first NFL games — it was different. But I settled in the past two weeks and I just kept busting my butt and it paid off for me." Last night against the Raiders, Irvin forced a fumble during the first quarter on a Oakland punt return as a gunner on the play. His first entry in to the stat sheet. Later, he recorded another tackle. Irvin gets his first sack. Then the second half came, and Irvin wreaked havoc from both sides of the line. He used an inside move on Raiders right tackle Kevin Halsam to bring down Terrelle Pryor splitting credit on the play with cornerback Byron Maxwell. Irvin compared the sack to a life-changing moment. "It felt like I had a newborn baby, man, I swear," he said. "It felt good." A few plays later, Irvin beat Haslam again, but couldn't bring down Pryor. Then Irvin lined up on the left side and hit Pryor as he was throwing to force an incompletion. In the fourth quarter, with Oakland backed up near their own end-zone, Pryor rolled out to pass, but Irvin chased him down for his first clean sack at the 5-yard line. Irvin finished the game with 4 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 3 QB hits. Not a bad way to for Irvin and the Seahawks to end an undefeated Preseason.

Jordan Kear, of Townsend, will host his senior thesis show at Tennessee Tech University's Appalachian Center for Craft Dec. 10-16.
Kear's show, From the Neck Up, is a series of sculptures designed to demonstrate the versatility of wood. His art emphasizes that pieces of wood, like human fingerprints, are all different from each other.
Kear's work will be on display in the Craft Center's Gallery One. There will be a reception with the artist from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Dec. 13.
All TTU art students are required to host a solo show as their culminating academic experience before graduating with their bachelor of fine arts degree.
The Craft Center will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Monday, Dec. 23. It will reopen Thursday, Jan. 2.
The Craft Center is located approximately six miles off Interstate 40 at exit 273, Smithville/McMinnville. Go south on state Route 56 and turn left immediately after crossing Hurricane Bridge. This drive leads to the Craft Center.

The Payback List
To be blunt, that's not what I call it. What it really is, is my Shit List. I started it in Asheron's Call and it has lived on ever since. Before WAR, I used it to record the names of mobs that killed me in particularly humiliating ways — too often, too easily, too unexpectedly or whatever.
In AC1, reed sharks were on my permanent list. Level and location didn't matter; if I saw one, it usually had to die. Banderlings and mattekars were a close second, though I eventually crossed them off.
In SWG, since we originally settled on Naboo, spineflaps and (pre-NGE) maulers ended up on the list. I was really sad to come back to SWG last year and discover that maulers had become something of a joke. On the other hand — see what happens to you if you make it to my shit list!? You'll get NGE'd! So be careful!
And so on. Until WAR. Now, the shit list is reserved for the names of people I will, one day, hunt down and smack down.
Nobody has made it to a permanent list yet. To be honest, looking at my hastily scrawled notes, I think it's probably time to cross some of those names off; if you can't remember why they're on there in the first place, they shouldn't be on the list at all.
I am not, in fact, a grudge-holding person; my memory's too bad. More seriously, I think it's a waste of time, though there are one or two people from my past I'll be just as happy never to cross paths with or talk to again — but one or two in forty years is, I feel, not exactly Cosa Nostra-like in terms of remembering slights.
WAR is different. For one, WAR has made me appreciate RvR and I've learned to have fun with it while not taking it personally. Sometimes, however, you just have to take it personally, just a little bit. So you scribble a name on the list as you wait to respawn… and in my case, you never see them again.
Given my levelling pace, most of the dozen or so names are undoubtedly well out of my range by now. However, given WAR… someday I will be 40 and they will be 40 and our visored eyes will meet across some battlefield… and I will yell "OMG THERE'S INSERT NAME! DIE DIE DIE!!!" And they will have absolutely no idea why some insane lone Order char is charging at them. If all goes well, they will die die die and I'll cross them off my list. I don't require second and third helpings of revenge: one will do nicely. Die already, so I can get rid of your name and we can go have tea and scones!
Incidentally, nothing says "love my guildmates" as much as someone yelling "Gah! There's InsertName, my nemesis!" in a scenario chat and seeing all one's guildies do a Terminator: turn around, acquire target, terminate. Mmmm gud.
I'm not going to name my Shit Listers, because they're personal grudges — and very, very minor. I keep a shit list not to name and shame people since their worst offense was to kill me in a game where that's part of the point. I keep a Shit List because it's fun — it's done for amusement, and it's not overdone. If you're not doing it for fun… ya might want to check the yellow pages under P for Shrink.

I find that people have made my shit list on a scenario by scenario basis. Or night by night. On Saturday night, there was a particular Black Orc. He had killed me in a way I took exception to. After that, whenever I saw him, I went right after him. So much so he finally shot me a tell saying that I was like a little fly and why was I picking on him? I don't reply to messages like that, typically. So, I didn't this time either. I just kept going after him. LOL. It was so un-Order-like.
LOL. It was ESP.
I need a list!
I was out looking at the other side of Ostland and saw some Destructo dude running my way. I was Flagged, he was not. I stopped to see if he wanted a brawl. He kept running. Then as soon as he got past me he flagged and stabbed me in the back.
Cowardly Destruction person!!!
I wish I'd thought of that…. *snicker*
That's right…we can't talk to the other side, right? I know you can't really tell this about me, but I create a lot of chatter. It was probably someone on order side and I thought it was the BO. I was running scenarios with Bildo that night. Could have been him. Possibly had a beer or two, too. LOL
Back to a discussion we had awhile ago. I am finding SWs do a lot more DPS at melee than we do at ranged. I believe you had said that staying in assault stance was the way to go. Are you still doing that?
Twasn't me!
Though I am often told I'm a tenacious little bugger myself Makk. Not by the Destruction creeps, but by our other players. I was in Phoenix Gate the other day, and kept chasing after the flag carrier. There were 3 people, 2 helping 1 carrying. I kept snaring him, and popping my defensive buffs whenever I could to slow him down.
I finally got in front of the bastard and punted him 30 yards backwards… the opposite way he was trying to go. When I finally died my reinforcements had arrived and we made them drop the flag. I got many a tell of and /scenarios of "Damn Ironbreakers must be annoying to play against!"
I like it that way. I won't kill you more often than not, but I will make your life HELL.
I'm sure I'm on a few peoples' list. I know I can't wait till I'm in T4 so I can hunt down Paincakes some more… still my favorite adversary from the early days in T1 before I rerolled.
Paincakes needs to die just for the name alone….
Sadly with my tired old eyes I rarely make out what the other dude's name is. And if I happen to, with my tired old brain I rarely retain it.
I don't have a shitlist of enemy players. I'd be trying to kill them anyway.
I do keep a list of people who "need" non-class loot, or display other behaviour such that I don't want to be stuck in a group with them again.

As a Navy veteran, David Cooper knows what it's like to spend months away from family and friends. That's exactly why he has spent the last three years handcrafting wooden pens for soldiers who are serving overseas.
"I know what it's like to go overseas and be alone, be gone for six months at a time, so I come out and donate a few hours of my time, which is nothing, considering how much they do," he said before turning a couple of pieces of wood into smooth, round pen casings.
Cooper, of Elizabethton, spent six years in the Navy from 1975 to 1979 and again from 1981 to 1983 with the USS Kitty Hawk. He has been a member of the Tri-Cities Wood Turners Club for three years and has spent much of his time at Woodcraft on Boones Creek Road making the pens for soldiers as part of the store's "Turn for Troops" program. It's a program that has sent more than 62,000 customized pens to men and women of the armed forces since it began in Woodcraft stores nationwide in 2004.
Having gone through what the life of a soldier is like, Cooper said it's always nice to get something from someone when stationed overseas, even if it's something as small as a pen.
"It's a big thing when you're away from home and you have nothing else and that's really special to you and it's come from home or just here in the States somewhere," he said.
After sending some pens to troops last year, Cooper received a letter from a soldier who was serving overseas, thanking him for taking the time to make and send the pen and for remembering the soldiers who serve. Since receiving that letter, Cooper has carried the letter wherever he goes in his briefcase.
Woodcraft in Johnson City sends about 300 pens a year to troops deployed overseas and recovering in military hospitals, according to Jerry Lovegrove, who operates the store with his wife, Beverly.
"It's just a great way to contribute to the troops and we're providing them something to write home with the ink pen, so they have no excuse not to write home," he said.
The store hosts several pen-turning nights in July and continues making pens before mailing them off in time for Veterans Day in November.
Lovegrove said the public is welcome to come by during one of the pen-turning sessions and make their own pens for the troops.
For more information on the pen-turning at Woodcraft, call 282-9973.

The above should read -- "So, why is that activity not even mentioned by his father..."
Exactly, Princess! And far too many "inconsistencies" to simply be human error.
Like this repetition of James' supposed "weekend camping trip."
As he was staying with his dad, by this time -- wouldn't Ron Tarver know where his 16-yr-old son was, or was supposed to be?
Yet, twice now, The O reports that James was off on a camping trip.
So, why is that activity nott even mentioned by his father, in the June 30 Willamette article,
And when contacted again, July 19 -- Tarver said nothing to clarify the contradicting statements made by the various family members.
It appears, too, in the subsequent Willamette article, that Ron Tarver is attempting to establish that the court order against Terri, is not being broken.
However, according to James' statements to The O -- he is having both direct contact with Terri, as well as phone conversations.
Isn't this a violation of the court order?
If so, the Judge has not only the authority, but the obligation to issue a warrant for the arrest of Terri Moulton-Horman.

Sad, too. I just read somewhere that every other phony names has already been taken.
Must be due to the international interest in this case, I suppose.
You must be kidding!
Have you ever taken the time to actually look at the mugshots of convicted sex offenders?
If you see "normal" in most of them....
I can suggest a very good opthamologist, pfig.
Of course, just like Houze....he's very expensive. ;)
Thank you, catnip! I've been asking that same question, for weeks -- where was James Tarver, at the time of Kyron's disappearance?
In a June 5th Oregonian article, Carol Moulton (Terri's mom) stated that James was away for the entire weekend on a camping trip, with his dad.
However, in a Willamette interview dated June 30, James' dad stated that James had already made plans to spend that whole week in Portland, with Terri.
And I'm almost sure that James was there at the Horman home, the early morning of the 5th.
So, exactly when did James arrive in Portland, for his week-long stay?
Earlier than he was supposed to, perhaps?
Too early to keep the two boys separate?
Because, Kyron was supposed to go to visit his own mother, later that day of the 4th.
And why was James sent away from the Horman home, to begin with?
Ron, his dad, stated that James had been "acting up," and "butting heads" with Kaine.
But, why? Over what?
For, just as we've been told about Terri's supposed tender loving care of Kyron, for so many years --
hadn't her own son been living under the tender loving care of his step-dad, as well?
Certainly, if James were being treated unfairly, Terri wouldn't have allowed her own son to be evicted, rather than to defend his right to stay with her!?
So, it just stands to reason that James was doing some very indefensible things.
And I have to wonder -- were those things being done to Kyron?
I wonder, too.......why hasn't LE asked that very question?
Ah....what a nice breath of common sense.
Thank you, DrL!
The 2nd "adult" was seen between 8:15 and 8:45, according to statements made by LE.
And therefore, that "adult"could not have been DeDe Spicher, as she was not unaccounted for, until a full hour later --
which was also stated by LE.
"Adult 2" might have been M. Cook, however that would conflict with the currently accepted timeline for any closely personal relationship between Cook, and TH.....
again, already recognized by LE.
So, that doesn't leave many associates of TH, who might be so closely tied to her, that they'd risk their own lives, to help her commit a horrible crime, or even to dispose of the evidence, afterwards.
Any of her close friends who might have had the time, and the loyalty it would take.....
have likely already been questioned, and exhonerated.
That is...except one.
...anyone other than TH....?
So, gamergirl -- wouldn't James be one of those "anyones?"
Early on, Carol Moulton claimed that James Tarver was away at camp, with his real father, for the entire weekend.
Well, since that story has not been challenged....even when James' own father disputed it, in another interview -- claiming that James was already planning to spend the whole week at the Hormans...
why hasn't LE already verified where James actually was, on the morning of June 4?
He was certainly at the Horman home, the following morning!
So, when did James actually arrive in Portland?
Does James drive, now?
Does he have his own car, or access to that of another?
Was James the reported "adult" who remained inside Kaine's truck, while Terri was inside the school?
Did he sit with baby Kiara, during this time?
Did James and Kyron "get along" well, together?
If not, exactly what misbehavior from James was so horrific, that Kaine forced James to leave the Horman home --
enough that his own natural mother could find no basis upon which to defend her own son's actions?
These ARE legitmate questions!
And youth is hardly any excuse for overlooking the activities of a possible suspect!
Especially, if that suspect had motive, opportunity.... and a close, personal relationship with any other suspect.
It's fairly clear that DS holds some extra little something special for TH.
But, I doubt the feeling was/is mutual. Don't know why, but.....TH just doesn't strike me as the type.
She does however, strike me as one who'd take advantage of such a situation.
"A user," is what we've always called them....not of drugs, but of vulnerable people.
Ouch...it wasn't me, was it? :o
Nah, couldn't have been. I haven't posted here in over a week.
But now, I wonder if that other poster was agreeing with my suspicions...and subsequent advice to LE --
to revisit their hasty clearance of James' possible involvement, in this case.
Now, don't go off with your "forsooth and for shame" routine, on me.
I've been around the court system awhile....and juvenile crime is certainly not on the decline!
And that's everything from petty theft, to multiple murder.
So, anyone who thinks that 16-yr-olds are incapable of committing heinous crimes --
has obviously lost touch with the outside world!
You're certainly right about one thing, DeMille.
I could never surpass the lofty heights of your imagination!
But then, again -- who could?
Take "The Ten Commandments," for instance --
who else could have written those?
Sorry. I should have picked a better example. :D
Anyway, regarding that thing you said about the state's inability to make the best decisions for a child --
I totally agree.
But, why would Terri even worry about losing custody, unless she believed that some major change
was in the air.
Do you believe that Desiree was about to file for full custody, for instance?
And if that were true, why now?
Well, that does open up a whole new area of inquiry, I suppose.
"Or unless you knew the child was all right and you weren't going to let these sicko psychobabble brood parents anywhere near him. Ever think of THAT angle?"
Were that the case, the only proper (and legal) means available to you, would be to inform authorities, IMMEDIATELY, that the child is in imminent danger!
Then, if you've had to move the child -- solely for protective reasons --
you would be legally bound to present that information to authorities, as well.
But, as your comments are pure conjecture, to begin with......
it's easy for most of us to see why Terri Horman has not complied with the law, and done just that.
And that's because there is no basis of truth to your rantings, Mr. DeMille.
"If the cops are focused ANYWHERE other than on finding Kyron, due to the machinations of the brood mother and philandering father, then her actions have refocused it where it NEEDS to be."
Again, DeMille -- quite to the contrary.
"Finding Kyron" -- unless of course, he is no longer among the living, and capable of testifying against his abductor(s) --
absolutely does require the focus of law enforcement upon those determined as the primary suspect(s)!
In fact, even more so! As every passing second raises the chances that he might still be irreparably harmed.
Therefore, DeMille, by your own supposition, you've already determined that no further harm can be done to the boy.
Which, of course, would suggest that you've already assumed that he is dead.
Now, if you were one of Terri's closest friends, or family.....
such an assumption would likely be of great interest to law enforcement!
But then, it's doubtful you're one of that group, anyway.
Because, it doesn't appear you've been using any of their latest attempts at adolescent
shame-calling --
i.e. "witch hunt," "grasping at straws," et al.
Or, could be......you just didn't get the memo. ;)
Bear-in-mind, too, that the recovery of physical remains is not required, for the building a solid murder case.......nor, necessary for a conviction(s).
I personally know of a man now serving a life sentence, for premeditated murder.
Yet, nothing of the victim's physicality -- not a drop of blood, not a toenail, nor even a hair --
was ever presented into evidence.
So, for anyone who still thinks that a body must be found, before the guilty can finally be brought to justice -- get over it.
Because, just like Mr. DeMille's theories -- it's purely conjecture.
Exactly why the Swami is so revered --
wisdom! ;)

She go on the DL?
You've just forgotten to remove your blinders, before calling the game.
KH is hardly the switch-hitter on your team.
But, don't fret, young man.
You still have a full bullpen.
So, shouldn't someone be calling......"batter up?"
omit "suggesting;"
insert "indicates."
Correction: latest report suggesting that DS was unaccountably absent for at least 105 minutes.
She's telling the truth.....she hasn't
So, leave her alone, pleez. :[

So Samsung's Galaxy S III presentation just wrapped up, and we know the lot of you are teeming with thoughts, good or bad. There was a metric ton of new and innovative features shown off today. Samsung focused more on the software in this press conference, and that's where a majority of the features are put into motion.
We've got things like continuous camera shutter that can take take up to 20 consecutive photos lag-free, pop-up video that'll allow you to watch video on top of another app, wireless sharing using the Allcast Share Dongle, S-Voice for Siri-like commands, Smart Stay for eye-tracking to determine whether or not to turn the display off, and more.
The list of new features is so long that it would probably take me an hour discussing it all in this post. A majority of the new features can be seen in the announcement post we made earlier, and those of you who watched in on the live stream saw all of the goods being demoed and shown off with your very own eyes.
So with everything out on the table, what's the verdict? This is probably the biggest Android device launch of the year, even with stiff competition from HTC. You all must have seriously considered the device in your future purchase plans, and while exhaustive reviews haven't come out yet we're sure opinions have already started brewing.
And even if the phone as a whole left you feeling underwhelmed, we still want to hear which features you liked best. There's a long laundry list of them and would I find it hard to believe that those who didn't like what they saw as a whole didn't like at least one of the many new features that you just won't find in any other phone (yet).
You can see a host of polls below. Be sure to vote in all of them and head to the comments section for added discussion — things should get real interesting down there.

This story has been updated at 1 p.m., Monday, Sept. 16, 2013.
Montgomery County could withold payment or demand money back from the contractor of the Silver Spring Transit Center because of the cost of repairing mistakes to the facility.
"Given the construction deficiencies present in the project...the county is well within its contractual rights to retain payment, or demand return of moneys already paid" to Foulger-Pratt Contracting for its work on the project, which is "grossly" behind schedule, according to a letter to the contractor from David Dise, director of the county's Department of General Services.
Foulger-Pratt released a statement about the letter Monday.
"Foulger-Pratt is in receipt of a letter from David Dise, sent in response to the letter sent to David by Bryant Foulger on September 10. We stand by the statements made in our September 10 letter and have nothing further to add at this time."
The two sides are engaged in a dispute over fixing cracks in the $120 million transit hub, including the use of a latex-modified concrete as the overlay product to make the repairs.
The site at the corner of Colesville Road and Wayne Avenue in downtown Silver Spring was scheduled to open in 2011, but a series of cracks found in the structure and disparities in the thickness of the concrete have delayed the opening.
In a letter sent to Dise Tuesday, Foulger-Pratt Managing Principal Bryant Foulger said the facility likely won't be ready until at least summer 2014.
Foulger wrote that the firm opposed the installation of the concrete overlay because it wouldn't address the design issue that caused the cracking and long-term maintenance of the concrete slabs.
In a release to The Gazette, Foulger strongly opposed the county's approach.
"Our recommendations with regard to the overlay have been ignored in favor of an approach that we believe to be highly inadvisable — an approach insisted upon by the county's design engineer over our strenuous objections," Foulger wrote. "The designer's approach is technically ill-advised and ill-conceived."
Dise's letter, sent Tuesday, said the county blames Foulger-Pratt for the problems that have delayed the opening of the center.
"The county will hold [Foulger-Pratt] responsible for all costs associated with correcting defects in the Project caused by FPC," Dise's letter said.
The letter argued that everyone except Foulger-Pratt, its subcontractors and consultants have agreed that the latex-modifed concrete is preferable to other alternatives.
And he left no doubt who the county would hold responsible for fixing the mistakes on the project.
The county "fully expects that any costs, and time, attendant to correcting such conditions are and will be the responsibility of FPC," Dise wrote. "The county has already made payment for work since determined to be defective. Therefore, all costs incurred to correct defective conditions must be borne by the responsible parties."

Let them rest in peace
It has been brought to my attention someone took seasonal decorations of chrysanthemum flowers and scarecrows off of a grave at the Warrensburg Cemetery.
I know many graves there host personal memorabilia and decorations.
To the person or group of individuals who took the decorations off the late George Nemec's grave, I say, "How dare you?" Do we have to now start a vigilant patrol of our cemeteries?

The Orange Pride Dance Team and Sammy the Bearkat won the 2010 national championship in each of their categories. The teams are formally associated with SHSU's Department of Student Activities' Spirit Programs.
"We are so proud of the Orange Pride Dance Team, Sammy the Bearkat and the mascot program," said Brandon Cooper, assistant director of student activities at Sam Houston State.

The Sam Houston State University Orange Pride Dance Team won the 2010 National Dance Alliance (NDA) Collegiate National Championship in Open Division 1 Friday afternoon (April 9).
Sam Houston State's dance team was the top seed going into the competition, winning the division competition over Weber State, Illinois State, University of Texas at Arlington, Georgia Southern, Kennesaw University and others.

Planned Giving
Leaving a Legacy for Oregon's High Desert
Planned gifts are about planning for the future, both your future and the future of Oregon's wild desert landscapes. There are many easy options from which you can choose. Here are some ways you can make a planned gift to ONDA:
This information is offered only for educational purposes. Your personal adviser(s) should always be consulted in the estate planning process.
A popular and easy planned giving option is providing for ONDA with a bequest in your will or revocable trust. After your lifetime ONDA receives the gift and applies it to the purpose(s) you specified.
- Your assets remain in your control during your lifetime.
- You can modify your bequest if your circumstances change.
- You can direct your bequest to a particular purpose.
- There is no upper limit on the estate tax deductions that can be taken for charitable bequests.
- You know that your gift will benefit ONDA tomorrow just as you intend it to today.
Naming ONDA as the beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k) or other qualified plan is another simple way to give. After your lifetime, the residual of your plan can be passed to ONDA tax-free.
- You can escape both income AND estate tax levied on the residue left in your retirement plan.
- Give the most-taxed asset in your estate to ONDA and leave more favorably taxed property to your heirs.
- You can continue to take withdrawals during your lifetime.
- You can change the beneficiary or designation should your circumstances change.
You can provide for a future gift to ONDA by naming us as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy. At death the proceeds are paid directly to us and we apply them to the program(s) you have designated.
- If ONDA becomes the owner and beneficiary of the policy you can receive a tax deduction for the gift.
- If using an existing policy that you no longer see as a necessary part of your financial plans, it can turn into a special future gift for ONDA.
A very simple way to explain this type of gift is it is a gift that gives back by providing you income or income for your designated beneficiaries. How it works is you transfer cash, securities or other appreciated property, such as real estate into a trust. Each year the trust pays a percentage of its value to you or to the beneficiaries you name. The trust value is re-computed annually, so payments change from year to year. When the trust terminates the remaining balance is passed on to ONDA.
- You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your contribution to the unitrust.
- The trust pays no capital gains tax when it sells the asset you have contributed to the trust.
- You or your designated beneficiaries receive income for life or for a term of years.
- You can make additional gifts to the trust as your circumstances allow and quality for additional tax deductions and increased trust payments.
- You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift that benefits you now and ONDA later.
This is another gift that provides income. With this gift you transfer cash or appreciated securities to ONDA and we pay you, or up to two annuitants, a lifetime annuity. The principal passes to us after the lifetime of the income beneficiaries.
- You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift.
- Your annuity payments are treated as part ordinary income and part tax-free income.
- If the gift is funded with appreciated property, your annuity payments are also part capital gain income and part tax-free income.
- You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift that benefits you now and ONDA later.
We would be pleased to talk with you about your planned giving options. Contact Allison Crotty at 541-330-2638 or email for more information.

Nu-Mark began DJing at the age of 13 in Los Angeles. Over the course of the last two decades, he has amassed a collection of over 35,000 records and refined his production skills and performance to the point where he is widely recognized as one of the key figures in DJ culture.
As a member of the critically acclaimed, gold-selling Hip-Hop outfit, Jurassic 5, DJ Nu-Mark graced the group with precision production and cutting edge stage routines. Best known for his production on the raw anthem "What's Golden" such creativity only hinted at the visionary creativity Nu-Mark has explored since Jurassic 5's breakup in 2006.
To date, Nu-Mark has been featured in the critically acclaimed documentaries "Scratch", "KeepinTime", "Coachella: The Movie," "Rock the Bells – The Documentary" and most recently in Mac Grubber. He's also appeared on countless TV Shows with J5, including David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel and Craig Ferguson.
Nu-Mark introduced himself as a solo artist in 2004 with Blend Crafters, an instrumental album created in the spirit of allowing beats to speak for themselves and Hands On, a mix CD that featured Mc's rhyming in different languages from around the world.
Today Nu-Mark experiments with children's music toys and constructs full DJ sets around toys most people dispose of by the time their kids are old enough to read. He has toured the world, remixed songs for Nas and Damian Marley, created songs for Saturday Night Live's Lonely Island and constructed the Tropical Funk Mix "Take Me With You," a breathtaking blend of Latin, Afro-Beat and Balkan Beat. Most significantly, after more than three years of brainstorming, experimenting and collaborating, he has finished his debut solo album Broken Sunlight, which reveals his influences and innovations into a jaw dropping collection of heart felt music.
"A lot of things in my life were broken, my group broke up, my long term relationship broke up, the music industry and economy seemed to be broken so It was time for me to take a break" Nu-Mark explains. "That's where the title of the record stems from. It's not so much I'm broken. I'm moving towards the sunlight these days. It's more like a tale of perseverance and forging ahead through tough times."
"When I was little, I had problems sleeping. I wasn't putting myself to bed ever, really. My parents tried everything in the book to get me out, but nothing worked. One night, my dad was at the bar doing his funny dance to Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger," and I asked him to pick me up. Less than five minutes later, I was out. Every night thereafter, he slung me over his shoulder just before bedtime and danced me to sleep—to Queen, Styx, Chicago, Meatloaf and lots and lots of Electric Light Orchestra.
ELO was our personal favorite. I ended up memorizing every word to every song off "Out of the Blue." Anytime we were in his Honda Accord '87, that 8-track went in. My mom had her input, too. Mostly Billy Joel, Tom Jones, maybe some Diana Ross. She tried singing me to sleep some nights, but "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" doesn't really set the mood for deep slumber. She gave me my very first piece of vinyl—1966's "The Best of the Beach Boys." After the needle gave up trying to stick to that record, she handed me the soundtrack to "Hair." When the day finally came for me to start learning the value of a dollar and buy my own music, the first tape I went out and purchased was…Run DMC's "Raising Hell."
How I got from 70s operatic rock, surf ditties, and Broadway musicals to hip-hop, I'll never know. But that diversity has stuck with me through this day. Just when I pledge allegiance to some new rap artist, I'm a bloodthirsty digger searching for a new, synthetic electronic sound I heard on satellite radio or on somebody's blog. And then I'm back frantically Googling a soul or disco sample I recognized from an old tune, or putting the finishing touches on a Dubstep mix I took way too much time obsessing over, or re-organizing my playlists so I know the difference between bounce, trap and an old dirty-South anthem.
The question of how I ended up spending half my waking hours in a nightclub is easy: I practically grew up in one. Again, my father's to blame. He used to be the Food & Beverage Manager at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ, my hometown. I clocked in more hours at that place than some of the people on payroll. And this was the 80s, mind you, when the casino strip was as glamorous as ever: fur coats, pearl necklaces, big Cadillacs and Liberace (who I saw live…many times). The lights, the sounds, the electricity in the air, even the smells…these things never left.
Nor has my penchant for making people smile. In grade school I brought class clown to a new level. It cost me my grades, and also led to a few suspensions. But there was nothing I enjoyed more than leaving my classmates in stitches. Sometimes, even the teacher had to take a second to regain composure. I thought maybe I'd make a good Psychologist, helping people smile, so I went Premed at NYU, till I realized the night before classes started that I'd have to sit still and study a lot. (Hence the B.A..) Naturally, I tried my hand at comedy, but I couldn't afford to be broke, and I was already getting gigs and discovering my knack for making dance floors pop. So, it was settled. I was to be a professional DJ.
Today, my career is in its 11 about every lounge, bar and dance club from Wall Street to 125 with a growing list of high-profile clients and world-renown artists, have held residences and guest spots across the globe, and claim ownership of the longest running weekly Friday-night party in NYC history: The Freedom Dance Party. After years of hard work, dedication and professionalism, my name and reputation as a DJ in the music and entertainment industry precedes itself. And though I don't get to play nearly as much ELO at the gigs as I'd like to, and 8-track tapes (and Liberace) are long gone, my love for the music, the night, and for making people smile are still here." – Herbert Holler

Cosi gets down not just for the funk of it, but for the love of it. He spins music like no other DJ on the planet and that is why New York is proud to claim him as one of its own. He spins because nothing else is quite as satisfying. "I play a mix of 70 & 80s R&B classics, funk, 80's pop, hip-hop, reggae, afro-beat and house music," Cosi explains. "I have a knack for knowing what people want to hear from just reading the crowd. When I play it, they dance. That's the best feeling." The feeling continues, even into his 15th year of spinning, as one of the few DJs who has truly mastered his art. He seamlessly blends several, if not all, of these genres throughout the evening, flawlessly moving the minds and bodies of those in the audience, making him one of the most sought-after DJs in New York City. If you've been to one of the myriad parties where Cosi has played, you'd know this experience first hand. Quite simply, his talent touches your soul. Tastemakers at Nike, The Gap, Brooks Brothers, MOMA, Hugo Boss, Timberland, Vibe Magazine, Phat Farm, The Chris Rock Show, Pepsi, The Magic Johnson Foundation, Enyce, Yves Saint Laurent, The National Basketball Players' Association, The Fader Magazine, the Hudson Hotel, the W Hotel and many others have experienced this first-hand. He has held weekly's at nightclubs such as Nell's, Cheetah, Justin's, APT, Lotus, NV, Float, Metronome, Discotheque, Joe's Pub, Martinez Gallery, Mission, BLVD, and Café Deville (just to mention a few). All have hired Cosi to set the mood and create the energy for the night. He has created the perfect vibe for parties in a number of cities throughout the U.S. (from New York to Las Vegas to Puerto Rico) and internationally (Mexico, Bahamas, Anguilla to name a few). Cosi has even spun for former President Bill Clinton in the Hamptons! Here's your chance to dance your way out of your constrictions.

Origins of the Salvation Army

Paper Edition, $16.00s

Status: In Print
Publication Date:
Description"A fascinating and thoroughly documented social history. . . . Recent political and religious developments in the U.S. make this case study of the transformation of an urban revivalist mission into a movement that is also explicitly social and political particularly timely."—Booklist
"An indispensable addition to any library with a collection in religious history."—Choice
In this deeply researched study of one world's best known and best regarded religious and charitable movements, Norman Murdoch offers provocative new insights into the Salvation Army's origins and its growth into an international organization—a veritable "Christian imperium."
Murdoch follows the lives and work of the Army's founders, William and Catherine Booth, from their beginnings as Wesleyan evangelists in 1850s Britain to their inauguration of a Utopian social plan in 1890. Quickly adapting to the failures of their early missions, the Booths eventually created a military-style organization that spread beyond Britain's boundaries to become as far-flung as Victoria's empire. As the Army's expanionism began to collapse, however, the Booths added "wholesale" social salvation to their emphasis on the salvation of individual souls.
Challenging various notions popularized in the denomination's official histories, this book is of special interest to historians of nineteenth-century social reform, evangelical Protestantism, and the relationship between class and religion in the Anglo-American world.
The Author: Norman H. Murdoch is professor of history at the University of Cincinnati.

Facial Plastic Surgery – Secret Clandestine Facial Recognition Countermeasures and The Future of the CIA
Currently, universities and private companies working to build more robust "Facial, facial plastic surgery, Recognition Technologies" due to Homeland Security funding for such research this area continues to grow. anti-terrorism efforts are a target all over the world, to share these technologies with its allies to use in their country. These new technologies will also be in the hands of our enemies or perhaps future, facial plastic surgery, enemies. These nations hostile to the United States with recognition software may prevent our clandestine spy efforts abroad.
As our activities and the spies of the country can be difficult and history has shown that it takes much secrecy and effort to get in, get information and exit without detection.Hostile nations will consider our intelligence efforts in these countries as terrorists international, so we see their spies that are in our country, if and when they are taken. These facial recognition software and equipment can be easily implemented our efforts to detect the infiltration and exploitation of their systems.
Since we now have, facial plastic surgery, invented this technology, we must find a way to beat when it is used against us by our form enemy.The U.S. allows citizens of other countries to attend our universities, they do intensive research in these areas " and the recognition of man "and that the information is duplicated in their home countries. We will explain the most common types of recognition of rights in this report. Currently, Facial recognition technology, facial plastic surgery, is not used very often because they are far from perfect and are probably not the best device for identification, but the technology is becoming quite profitable.
Early recognition software that will be sufficient to identify the people who want to capture and keep out of our sensitive areas for the CIA is a terrible problem of information leaks, the FBI is not much better. The FBI, facial plastic surgery, has lost about 2,000 laptops, now is the exchange of information and databases with other law enforcement officers and we all remember the recent sex scandals to espionage. The CIA can not keep a secret, nor those in Washington who know, as we 'have recently discovered with the wife of a senator is written in a major newspaper.
Then of course there are berths sell, facial plastic surgery, Deep Cover cooperatives and hackers are all waiting in the shadows and the collection, facial plastic surgery, of information. Once a database of operators has been exploited or blanket is an undercover agent discovered their faces will be databases for the capture of foreign countries such as using facial recognition, facial plastic surgery, and other software to recognize the man and equipment. Today, the problem is not widespread, but the technological advances of men are not exclusive to the U.
S. only. So what exactly, facial plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery, is the facial recognition software and how it works? Http: / / people.howstuffworks.com / recognition.htmSo face-off promoting their technologies in facial recognition software and equipment have found the killer application After 9-11 there was flow. money for projects that can help identify international terrorist.

Caesar dressing without anchovies
I want to make a caesar salad to take to a group gathering tomorrow evening. The problem is that my go-to dressings all have anchovies in them, and one person attending can't eat meat. I want to make sure the salad is an option for him, since others will likely be bringing things he can't eat. Can anyone recommend a caesar dressing (recipe or store-bought) for me?
