SpYre 100 Ski Boots
Performance Meets Comfort
It's no secret; ski boot performance and comfort directly influence the overall enjoyment and experience of all-mountain female skiers. For that slipper-like feel, look no further than the SpYre 100 ski boot, offering a forgiving yet powerful 100 flex on the same performance platform as the SpYre 110. Matched with a 100mm last and lasted LuxFit INTUITION® liner for comfort, and reinforced with replaceable outsoles and padded mid-grips, this boot is perfect for any all-mountain vixen.
- Sizes: 22.5, 23.5, 24.5, 25.5, 26.5, 27.5
- Model Options: 100
- Features: Energy Interlock, PowerFuse SpYne, Dual Cuff Alignment, Replaceable Outsoles, Padded Mid-Grip, 35mm Velcro Powerstrap
LuxFit INTUITION
The LuxFit INTUITION® heat-moldable liner combines the performance and fit of a traditional PVC liner with the benefits of strategically placed ULTRALON EVA foam. Lasted for a precise "out-of-the-box" fit, the LuxFit INTUITION® also includes heat-Moldable Asymmetric Tongues to reduce shin bang and ensure smooth, precise flex initiation. The Power Wedge and Power Collar offer varied forward lean and the upper cuff support needed for taking advantage of challenging conditions.
Energy Interlock
A rivet-free technology that locks the cuff and shell in both the forward and aft direction. This fundamental technology gives the boots life and power ideal for all-mountain and freeride skiing where you encounter a wide variety of conditions and terrain. When the boot flexes forward, the Interlock stretches, creating a buildup of energy. This not only puts lower stresses on the boot material but also produces a smoother, more efficient load transfer, delivering a more natural flex and dynamic performance in all conditions.
PowerFuse SpYne
A rear co-injected "Y" shaped design that adds strength and power to the Energy Interlock, the PowerFuse SpYne maximizes fore/aft flex efficiency and lateral stiffness for sustained performance and responsiveness in all terrain. Because of the SpYne, we are able to optimize materials in the cuff and shell, eliminating excessive vibrations in rough terrain.
Dual Cuff Alignment
Adjust +/- 2.2 degrees on medial and lateral sides for a total range of 4.4 degrees. This enables adjustment to the lower leg angle for maximum comfort and performance.
Replaceable Outsoles
Dual-injected Thermo Plastic Rubber (TPR) with Thermo Plastic Urethane (TPU) increases the life of your boots and provides secure footing whether walking on rock, ice, or stairs.
Padded Mid-Grip
Duel Injected Thermo Plastic Rubber (TPR) for added grip and traction while walking on rocks or riding on snowmobiles.
Power Strap
Extra wide, strong, and powerful cam-lock PowerClinch strap featured on the SpYne 130. Durable Velcro Powerstraps in varying widths for support and strength on all other models.

Discussion: Manassas, Va.
The Turn Two team players will be playing in Manassas this weekend. Unfortunately, the manager and coaches, Donny and Carson have decided not to attend. As for myself, I do not like all of this confusion right or wrong. All of players of Turn Two are looking forward to playing softball this weekend. Hopefully, as many of my friends and previous teammates will attend the Senior Softball National HOF ceremony Saturday afternoon at Valley View during the tournament. Ray Ray

|Solenoglyphous fangs of a Gaboon Viper
|Cross-sections of fangs:
F is an aglyphous tooth.
G is an opisthoglyphous fang.
H is a proteroglyphous fang.
I is a hollow solenoglyphous fang.
From Bauchot (2006)
|Folding of solenoglyphous fangs.
Fang is in red, maxilla green,
prefrontal orange, pterygoid yellow,
ectopterygoid purple. Vipers lack
premaxillary and palatine teeth.
From Bauchot (2006)
|Modified solenoglyphous fang of
African Burrowing Asp (Atractaspis engaddensis)
|Proteroglyphous fangs of an Eastern Green Mamba
(Dendroaspis angusticeps). Don't try this.
From Bauchot (2006)
|Opisthoglyphous fang of Eastern Hog-nosed Snake
|Opisthoglyphous fangs of Boomslang (Dispholidus typus)
Don't do this either.
|A: python, B: viper, C: rear-fanged colubroid, D: cobra
The f marks the portion of the maxilla where the fang develops.
E shows the elongation of the posterior part of the
maxilla pushing forward the developing fang of a
night adder (d.a.o. = days after oviposition)
From Vonk et al. 2008
|Relative size of the venom gland (VG) in
A: rear-fanged colubrid (Helicops leopardinus),
B: boomslang, C: homalopsid,
D: cornsnake, E: African egg-eater
SG = supralabial salivary gland
From Fry et al. 2008
|Both boas and pythons have only
aglyphous teeth, which is about
the only thing this film got right.
There are very few dangerous species of aglyphs, but one, Rhabdophis tigrinus, is becoming well-known as one of the only snakes capable of sequestering toxins from its prey for use in its own defense. This species has enlarged posterior maxillary teeth that lack grooves, so they are by definition aglyphous. However, it has relatively potent venom and has caused the deaths of several people. Among colubroids, the distinction between opisthoglyphs and aglyphs has never been entirely clear, but I'm distinguishing between them here because they are two of the four traditionally recognized types of snake teeth. Although the four types of snake teeth in this article are commonly discussed, a more accurate classification for snake teeth might be to divide them into tubular (the fangs of viperids, elapids, and atractaspidines), grooved (the rear fangs of non-front-fanged colubroids), and ungrooved (all other snake teeth).

Full detailed profile on Nick Chavez Played by Nicholas Rodriguez on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Nicholas Rodriguez
Real Name: Nicholas Rodriguez
Across the patio, after David lays into Nick for Amelia and Dorian's stunt, Kyle confronts Nick, wanting answers, who admits that they never planned on Dorian fronting as Amelia's fiancée but claims this could be huge for their fight for equal rights! Later, Nick asks Amelia if she'll really be marrying Dorian - and Amelia admits she'll do it - for a good cause then says, "How bad could Dr. Dorian Lord be?"
David calls Dorian to check in, and Dorian warns David to keep the cover going - that she's gay and has always been gay! Once David hangs up, he tries to avoid the questions from the press, but they want to know if he knew that Dorian Lord was gay! As David talks about how Dorian found her true self, Fish and Kyle share a glance.
Nick meets Amelia at the diner and asks, "Are you sure you're up for this," to which Amelia says, "We've been waiting far too long for this." As Nick warns her that no one can know he is involved, Fish listens from the counter! "I'm ready to pull the trigger," Amelia assures Nick then leaves him with a hug saying, "Wish me luck."
After Amelia leaves, Fish approaches Nick and acts as though he wants to make sure that they are 'cool' because of Kyle. Before he leaves, Nick says everything's cool then invites Fish to show his support for equal rights by attending Dorian's press conference later.
Shortly after, Kyle arrives at the press conference, followed by Fish, who tells Kyle, "I think Nick is planning to assassinate Dorian Lord." Kyle lashes out at Fish and claims he's making jealous accusations to break him and Nick up, but Fish points to Nick, who is talking to Amelia, and explains what he overheard at the diner.
As Dorian's press conference gets underway, Todd arrives, and Dorian promises to fight discrimination then introduces Amelia. Amelia explains that with Dorian as mayor, she'll have the right to marry her partner then gives the stage back to Dorian. The press starts pounding Dorian, wondering why she's showing support now, and to halt their suspicions of her, Dorian announces that Amelia is her fiancée!
Up in Blair's room, Blair rants at Tea about how Todd left the island and Ross knocked her up then has a revelation and says, "Oh, my, God… Your child isn't Ross', but it's Todd's." Tea immediately denies that Todd is the father, but Blair thinks Todd is the father - and says Todd needs to know it! Blair turns to leave - to find Todd - but during a struggle to stop her, Blair ends up going through the second story window!
Later, in class, when Nick introduces himself as their substitute, a girl looks at Starr and says, "This one's mine, Starr." However, they all know Nick is gay, who offers to chat with them about it after class, then begins the lesson, as Starr whispers to Langston that she hopes Markko and Cole are doing okay with Hope.
Fish eyes Kyle talking to Nick at the gym and watches as Kyle gives Nick his number - so they can meet up for coffee later. Suddenly, Kyle gets a call from Stacy and heads out to meet her - but not before blowing off Fish, who asks if he's okay! After Kyle calmly walks away, Fish thinks back to their kiss.
Following Nick into the locker room, Fish suggests that he stay away from Kyle. Fish makes it clear that he's not gay but warns Nick that Kyle's been in trouble with the law. Nick thanks him for the heads-up but makes it clear that he'll determine what's right for him himself.
Just then, Cris appears, and Fish immediately pulls away from Kyle and says, "Don't touch me!" When Cris demands to know what's going on, Kyle covers for Fish, claims Fish is in love with Layla and says that Fish was just trying to let him down easy! As Kyle walks off, Cris warns Fish to be good to Layla, but Fish becomes distracted as he watches Kyle talking to another guy.

Mr. wOw's Post Super Bowl Ramblings
Our inimitable columnist sounds off on the important issues of the week
Mr. wOw, first off, must apologize for being away for so long. I have been feeling poorly, and even went for chest x-rays. I am certain I'm fine — especially as my doctor's note said "Priority: Normal." This, after I'd convinced myself I was dying — thank you the Internet! And as I haven't heard back since I spent hours waiting to be x-rayed last week, I assume all is well. (I still have a throat exam but I am putting that off until I know for certain my chest is clear.)
But — having more or less assured myself I was not about to expire — I waited for Madonna to appear last Sunday. So much went through my head. Serious stuff. Kinda. Oh, see, you thought I was going to babble about Madonna, right? Sillies. I love Madonna. I admired the spectacle of her show. She will never sing "Aida." We can move on.
Paula Deen was much on my mind. I've never much cared for her, and rarely sat through one of her episodes on The Food Network — is it possible that anybody really says "y'all" every six seconds? But I had no real gripe. Then she became a figure of controversy when she revealed that she had Type 2 diabetes. But she revealed this only when she'd made a deal to promote a new diabetes medication, for a pretty penny. The haters came down on her. Hell, her own sons were distressed (though the boys, who have jobs thanks to her, were probably thinking as much about their own hides as dear Paula's.) Everybody got on board, criticizing her for deception, greed and terrible cooking habits — butter, butter, butter.
I understood every negative comment, but somehow couldn't feel it to join in. Her health is her own business, how she makes money is her own business, and as much as I ever watched Ms. Dean, I don't ever recall her saying, "Eat like this everyday!" She never said her cooking was healthy, only that is was tasty. Please — have you ever seen "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" with Guy Fieri? He is physically repulsive, overweight and eats like a farm animal. He pushes every unhealthy morsel down his throat. At least Paula doesn't wander into restaurant kitchens wearing flip-flops. If she's cynical and a bit duplicitous — she's in show biz. Let's not gasp in too surprised a manner.
I also thought about Mitt Romney. Which takes some doing, given the emptiness of the man. But I was actually feeling sorry for him. He'd just uttered his now infamous "I don't care about the very poor" remark and was being slammed. I have to defend Mitt on this one. His entire remark was that he didn't care about the very poor because they had safety nets, and if those were not enough, they'd be corrected. And he wasn't concerned about the very rich because "they are doing just fine." He was attempting to grab middle-class interest. Aside from the fact that he is Mitt Romney and has no idea about anything, what exactly was wrong with what he said? Maybe it could have been phrased more artfully, but, again — it's the Mitt Romney, stupid. I don't hear many (any?) other politicians, including Barack Obama, refer to the plight of the very poor in this country. The very poor tend not to vote. The middle-class does. Get it?
Mr. Romney is not heartless. He is clueless. An empty, expensive suit. I don't know why he wants to be president, but on the "very poor" debacle, he got more negativity than he deserved.
I also mulled on Callista Gingrich. No, no — not the formidable blonde helmet. That would require an entire column.
I thought on this. Let's say Newt Gingrich becomes president of the United States. Callista will be our First Lady. Think about it. The first First Lady (of modern times, anyway — American history buffs will correct me) who is an open adulteress. She dallied with Newt knowing full well he was a married man. Let me be clear. I have nothing against adulteresses. My goodness, Miss Elizabeth Taylor should be next to the dictionary definition. And you all know I love Miz Liz! But it does make for fascinating ruminations. Newt has said he has changed, and he has repented. But what about Callista? What would her role be as First Lady and how would she accomplish it? Would she take on the challenge of teen pregnancy? Or celibacy until marriage? Or how about how holy heterosexual marriage is? Or would she simply see to it that all American highways have pretty flowers on the side, or worry herself ragged over our unhealthy eating habits? What would be, what is, her moral compass? I don't want to see Mr. Gingrich as president, but the idea of Callista as First Lady is oddly, crazily, alluring.
P.S. to all matters Gingrich. The only sensible person I have heard on the subject of Newt is MSNBC's Jonathan Alter. He alone has said, "Stop saying things are 'impossible' and 'unbelievable'" concerning the possibility of Newt becoming the Republican candidate. (Or even president.) It is possible. It is believable. This is life and politics. Anything can happen. Grow up, and brace yourselves.
Of course, all this brings us to Richard Santorum and his horrifying world full of barefoot and eternally pregnant women. No contraception! I am always reminded of Florynce Kennedy's famous remark that if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.
Prior to Super Bowl Sunday, Mr. Santorum's mania for the endless fecundity of powerless women was sort of a joke. Now that he has had a stunning triple-win — Missouri, Minnesota, Colorado — it is less amusing. What world does he imagine in one already so over-populated? Hmmmm … a world of white people? Too bad, Rick, it will be a café au lait planet in a generation or two, and neither you nor the reality TV creatures the Duggars can change that. (Oh, and by the way: some of those white babies will be born gay.)
Finally, I want to recommend a book to anybody who is totally to the Far Right. It is titled Flashback written by Dan Simmons. It's a sci-fi thriller thingy, set about 25 years in the future. The future is bleak and destroyed. Why? Liberals and Barack Obama, Mexicans and the global warming myth, the Japanese and African Americans. It. Is. Staggering. The basic plot, which concerns a drug that lulls helpless Americans back to their happiest times, is rather intriguing. But the ideology is relentless. I wanted to put the book down at least three times, the polemic was so overwhelming. Still, I stuck to the end, because that's how I am. I don't walk out of movies or plays or not finish books. I see my commitment to the last. And kvell or cry after.
So, if you hate Mr. Obama, Flashback is your kind of novel.
Dear readers, I'm off now to call my doc and find out for sure that I am healthy and must stay connected to this old world. Honestly, I have to stay connected. There's always the possibility of Callista the First Lady. You think I'd leave with that on my plate?!
I'd come back from the grave.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
54:11-17 Let the people of God, when afflicted and tossed, think they hear God speaking comfortably to them by these words, taking notice of their griefs and fears. The church is all glorious when full of the knowledge of God; for none teaches like him. It is a promise of the teaching and gifts of the Holy Spirit. All that are taught of God are taught to love one another. This seems to relate especially to the glorious times to succeed the tribulations of the church. Holiness, more than any thing, is the beauty of the church. God promises protection. There shall be no fears within; there shall be no fightings without. Military men value themselves on their splendid titles, but God calls them, Wasters made to destroy, for they make wasting and destruction their business. He created them, therefore he will serve his own designs by them. The day is coming when God will reckon with wicked men for their hard speeches, Jude 1:15. Security and final victory are the heritage of each faithful servant of the Lord. The righteousness by which they are justified, and the grace by which they are sanctified, are the gift of God, and the effect of his special love. Let us beseech him to sanctify our souls, and to employ us in his service.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 13. - All thy children shall be taught of the Lord (comp. Isaiah 44:3; Jeremiah 31:33, 34; Ezekiel 11:19; Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17, 18, etc.). Christians are all of them "taught of God" (John 6:45 1 Thessalonians 4:9). The "anointing," which they have from the Holy Ghost, "teaches them, and is truth, and is no lie" (1 John 2:27), and causes them to "know all things" (1 John 2:20). And great shall be the peace of thy children. Messiah was to be "the Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). His birth heralded the coming of "peace on earth" (Luke 2:14). So far forth as men are true Christians, does peace reign in the conscience and show itself in the life. Externally there may be persecution, tumult, wars, fightings; but internally, in each heart, there will be a "peace that passes all understanding" (Philippians 4:7). God "keeps in perfect peace" those" whose minds are stayed on him" (Isaiah 26:3).
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord,.... The children of the church, who are born in her, and nursed up at her side, and who are the children of God by adoption, which is made manifest by regeneration; these the Lord will take care of that they be "taught", even "all" of them, from the least to the greatest, Jeremiah 31:34, they shall be taught of the Lord himself, by his ministers, word, and ordinances, as means, and by his Spirit, as the efficient; by whom they are taught to know themselves, their vileness and sinfulness, their folly and weakness, their want of right counsels, and the insufficiency of their own to know Christ, and the way of salvation by him; him as the only Saviour, able and willing so to know him as to believe in him, receive him, and walk on in him; this had an accomplishment in the first times of the Gospel; see John 6:45 and will have a further one in the latter day, when there will be a greater effusion of the Spirit, when the doctrines of the Gospel will be taught and understood more clearly, fully, and largely:
and great shall be the peace of thy children; the inward peace of their minds in and from Christ, arising from a view of their justification by his righteousness, from the sprinklings of his blood upon their consciences, and from the discoveries of his love to their souls, enjoyed in a way of believing, and by means of the word and ordinances; also peace among themselves, harmony and concord, and no more strifes, contentions, and animosities; likewise outward peace from enemies, no more persecution or war. This word includes all kind of prosperity, external and internal, temporal and spiritual. This, with the following verses, explain the figurative phrases used in the foregoing. These words are applied by the Jews (a) to the times of the Messiah, when all Israel shall learn the law from the Lord; so the Targum,
"all thy children shall know the law of the Lord;''
but it is much better understood of all the children of the church, the true Israel of God, whether Jews or Gentiles, learning the Gospel of Christ.
(a) Midrash Tillim, apud Yalkut in Psal. xxi. 1.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
13. Quoted by the Saviour (Joh 6:45), to prove that in order to come to Him, men must be "drawn" by the Father. So Jer 31:34; Mic 4:2; 1Co 2:10; Heb 8:10; 10:16; 1Jo 2:20.
great … peace—generally (Ps 119:165). Specially referring to the peaceful prosperity which shall prevail under Messiah in the latter days (Isa 2:4, 9:6).

German referee Harm Osmers was in charge as the Premier League side lost 3-0 to their Bundesliga opponents, with two of the home side's goals coming from the penalty spot.
Chelsea started with Diego Costa, Fernando Torres, Cesc Fabregas and Thibaut Courtois - and Didier Drogba came on as a second-half substitute - but Mourinho felt the whole afternoon had been a waste of time.
"I learned nothing from this game," Mourinho told Sky Sports News. "Our expectations are not fulfilled because when we decided to have this match here in Bremen we thought about an evolution in difficulty.
"We were expecting a fast game a competitive game but we come here and the referee thought this was a circus for Bremen fans - for them to have fun - and he killed the match.
"This game for us would have been perfect. I like the Werder Bremen team - they are fast, intense and they defend with a lot of people. The opponent is perfect for us to compete today but we couldn't play."
Mourinho also said that he has no problem with Frank Lampard joining Manchester City on a six month loan deal.
Lampard has joined New York City FC - who are part owned by City - but he could now play against Chelsea next month; If he does, Mourinho expects him to get a good reception.
"He is a free agent, he can choose his club so there's no problem at all," he said. "When he comes to Stamford Bridge he is welcome."

Below is the poem entitled Heads Held High which was written by poet
Jones. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Rhema Jones
Our team stands proud with heads held high we stare
To say, "Good game," to other players there
Another loss is added to our stats
But still we walk sincere in our congrats
I can no longer count them on my hands
The losses we have had and did withstand
And I can barely count one hand of those
Those wins we'd earned when all our hard work showed
In the moment we stand disappointed and sigh
But still we walk with dignity, heads held high
Our team, my team, seven girls our lineup
Not the most experienced varsity lineup
We are the dwarfs against the giants
The ones people look at and say, "They can't!"
Heads held high we ignore their jeers
Their nasty comments and ugly cheers
Oh you don't even want to know the score
We lost sixty-four to our whopping twenty-four
During a normal game many shots fall
Though we rarely ever make them all
But that doesn't matter in our book
Inside our hearts is where they need to look
Though we are small we have some real fierce guts
To stay inside a league with such large cuts
We play our best and never quit the game
We are the Knights and must carry our name
Cause though right now we seem to be the least
Come back two years from now and we'll be beast

International India Adoption Takes 2 Years — Worth It!
Part 2: Denise Imbesi finally traveled to an orphanage outside Delhi this past summer to finalize adoption proceedings for her 4-year-old daughter Jaya who she had never met or even spoken to — the match was done via photograph!
When Denise walked into the clean and orderly orphanage, she saw over 50 kids crammed into one huge room with everything they own in one small box. Her new daughter was finally led out, looked scared and wearing too-tight clothes and dirty shoes. Jaya was in shock and frightened, she was petrified but she warmed up quickly and she began saying "mama" and she fell asleep in Denise's arms within 15 minutes of holding her for the first time.
Denise said, "We found out the hard way Jaya was never potty trained and she began crying, India was overwhelming for her. Jaya was carsick, she'd never been in a car before. The trip home was trying for her but her life is better than it ever could be.
Now it's been 7 months she came to Florida and Jaya only speaks English! Denise said, "For two months it was difficult but we stuck it out and I had a lot of patience and love for her. We hugged continuously for literally months and she always knew she was loved very much."
Denise said, "My daughter is loving, smart, so happy and amazing. This kid does not cry. She is very healthy and animated and social."
The new mom also said, "Jaya has been in pre-K since September and she loves it — already has best friends. She is learning the language and how to thrive in the USA. Denise said, "Our food did not agree with her to digestive system and her foundation for nutrition is still beans and Indian lentils, but she tries other food. We go to Indian restaurants each week and she feels immediately at home with the cuisine.
Now I cannot imagine my life without her. Biggest surprise about motherhood? How much time it takes to put her to bed and maintaining the ultra-consistency of her life so she stays calm. We are very happy and loving with her at all times, calm and patient.
ADVICE: These kids need a home and desperately need parental love. Jaya is very bright and happy. I did the best thing! She is mine 100% since this started; I feel like I gave birth to her and I cannot love her more."
Denise Imbesi is the Founder, CEO and visionary behind the fitness music brand Muscle Mixes Music. Denise co-parents Jaya with her partner of 4 years, Sara Barone and live in Orlando, Florida. Tell me your adoption story here!

I came across a Dale Carnegie quotation a while back that says a lot more to me now than it might have in the past.
"You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."
Since my affiliation with the Optic, my world has widened considerably. Yes, I had my "coterie," made up of family, work, and social acquaintances, students and their families, and of course, my pal, Chien, the dog.
Two employees at Robertson High School have been placed on leave for "inappropriate" activities, the superintendent said Monday.
Superintendent Rick Romero confirmed information that cheerleading coach Krystle King was placed on leave last week for allegations of "inappropriate behavior" and counselor Amadee Duran on suspicion of "inappropriate contact."
For the seventh consecutive year, Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort, located northwest of Las Vegas and Mora off N.M. 518, earned the title of first resort to open in New Mexico while having a record-breaking opening weekend.
More than 700 eager skiers and snowboarders hit the slopes last weekend, which more than doubled last year's record-breaking attendance for both opening day and opening weekend, according to a news release from the resort.
A note to congratulate Tom McDonald, elected as president of the New Mexico Press Association, and David Giuliani for winning two awards on his story reports.
Our thanks to the Optic staff for the job well done in relating the news to the community. The community needs to hear the good and the bad news. Communication in this world is of vital importance to all of us, and we depend on you for delivery.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank you for the many times we ask you to promote news from the VFW Ladies Aux Post 1131 in Mora.We are most grateful!
Next month could be a make-or-break one for West Las Vegas Superintendent Jim Abreu.
December is when the school board is expected to negotiate Abreu's annual contract. Last week, board member Caroline Lopez criticized the district's administration during a meeting, saying that she believed that most of the points in a scath-ing state report about West were on target.
The report accused the district of being top- heavy and lacking such things as a long-term capital projects master plan.
Some Mora County residents say the county hasn't done a good enough job in notifying residents about public meetings.
Anita Roybal, a resident who has been fighting the installation of a big propane tank in her Mora neighborhood, says the county didn't keep her and her neighbors in the loop on meetings about the tank.
A letter to the editor in the Nov. 16 paper asks, "Suppose I want prayer wherever I go to attend a meeting? How come I can't have it and yet the atheists and agnostics can say no to prayer because they don't like it."
I am not an atheist or agnostic, but I also object to prayers at public meetings.
My Irish and Scottish forefathers came to America to escape being forced to worship in the Church of England. Most people in Great Britain were members of that church, but my relatives refused to worship in the same manner as the majority.
It took years for turkey to become palatable for me, especially in light of memories of witnessing turkey slaughters in Buena Vista, a little settlement near Mora.
Although my older siblings insist our visits to the home of Uncle Margarito Lucero were brief and sporadic, I still recall clearly an exposure to matters more agrarian than my city-slicker being should know about. And these memories appear to span several summers.
Las Vegas Mayor Tony Marquez is proposing the creation of a task force to identify the root causes of crime and recommend strategies to deal with them.
The idea came soon after a man allegedly killed another in an apparent road-rage incident in central Las Vegas.
The electronic board outside West Las Vegas High School has had a message in recent times: If you want to follow Dons sports action, listen to KNMX radio station.
Indeed, KNMX plays West games. But then again, so does its rival, KFUN.
So why not include both stations?
West Superintendent Jim Abreu said he had no idea why the sign only included one station, adding that he hadn't noticed it. But he said the district should give equal time to both. As such, he had the board changed to include both stations earlier this week.

Tributes are today being paid to former Liverpool winger Jimmy Payne who has sadly passed away at the age of 86.
Payne had the distinction of playing for both Liverpool and Everton and was affectionately dubbed the 'Merseyside Matthews'.
He played in the 1950 FA Cup final for Liverpool and went on to play 243 games in a red shirt, netting 43 goals.
He was the last surviving member of the 1950 FA Cup final team - the first time Liverpool played at Wembley.
Payne played in the same Liverpool team as the likes of Billy Liddell and Bob Paisley and made his Reds bow in September 1948 against Bolton.
Daughter Shirley Morgan said: "For the last eight years my dad has been in a home and it was a bit of a struggle but he fought to the bitter end, bless him. Thankfully he's at peace now."
Everybody at Liverpool Football Club would like to pass on their condolences to Jimmy's family and friends.

So, we are thinking of getting my wife a new Era FSR Carbon Expert bike, because she can get a great deal on one. I don't really know much about the headset, though, so does anyone know if it will be much trouble to move her Hopey Steering Damper over to the new bike? Would I need to order a different bracket (she is currently on a standard 1-1/8" threadless headset). The bike shop doesn't know anything about Hopey Steering Dampers, and I don't know much about headsets, so we are having a hard time communicating....

Shellcode Tutorial 1: Introduction and Tools Setup
The assembly tutorials contained within this site are aimed towards creating assembly code in the aim to get you ready to create your own assembly and shellcode - which would hopefully be included with the "Project Shellcode Development Framework".
What are the differences between windows shellcode and Linux shellcode?
Linux, unlike windows, provides a direct way to interface with the kernel through the int 0x80 interface. A complete listing of the Linux syscall table can be found at http://www.informatik.htw-dresden.de/~beck/ASM/syscall_list.html. Windows on the other hand, does not have a direct kernel interface. The system must be interfaced by loading the address of the function that needs to be executed from a DLL (Dynamic Link Library). The key difference between the two is the fact that the address of the functions found in windows will vary from OS version to OS version while the int 0x80 syscall numbers will remain constant. Windows programmers did this so that they could make any change needed to the kernel without any hassle; Linux on the contrary has fixed numbering system for all kernel level functions, and if they were to change, there would be a million angry programmers (and a lot of broken code).
So, what about windows? How do I find the addresses of my needed DLL functions? Don't these addresses change with every service pack upgrade?
There are multitudes of ways to find the addresses of the functions that you need to use in your shellcode. There are two methods for addressing functions; you can find the desired function at runtime or use hard coded addresses. This tutorial will mostly discuss the hard coded method. The only DLL that is guaranteed to be mapped into the shellcode's address space is kernel32.dll. This DLL will hold LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress, the two functions needed to obtain any functions address that can be mapped into the exploits process space. There is a problem with this method though, the address offsets will change with every new release of Windows (service packs, patches etc.). So, if you use this method your shellcode will ONLY work for a specific version of Windows.
Dynamically finding function addresses will be addressed in a later tutorial.
Lets setup your environment!
Initially we will be focusing on creating Windows assembly; however, Linux is really handy for developing assembly and shellcode. For this reason I found Cygwin a great platform to develop shellcode and also be able to access Windows DLLs.
So download and run the Cygwin installer from http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
(Project Shellcode Download: http://www.projectshellcode.com/downloads/cygwin_setup.exe)
During the Cygwin installation you will be asked to select which packages you wish to install. The following packages are handy for creating assembly and shellcode.
- Devel->binutils (contains ld, as, objdump)
- Devel->gcc
- Devel->make
- Devel->nasm
- Devel->gdb
- Editors->hexedit
- Editors->vim
- Net->netcat
- System->util-linux
Once you have your Cygwin environment setup, download the following tools. Some are my own scripts to make things easier, and the last two from external sources. You will want to save them within your Cygwin environment, so copy them to something like C:\cygwin\home\Administrator\shellcode\, where Administrator is your username, and I have created a "shellcode directory" to be our working directory.
- xxd-shellcode.sh
Parses xxd output to extract raw shellcode
- shellcode-compiler.sh
Automatically compiles the assembly code, extracts the raw shellcode, creates a Unicode encoded version of the raw shellcode, injects your encoded shellcode into a "Template Exploit" (ms07-004) for testing, creates a C test program containing your shellcode, and then compiles it ready to execute! Very Handy!
- or -
- findFunctionInDLL.sh
Finds which DLLs on your system contain a specific Windows function
- arwin.c
Win32 DLL address resolution program
(Project Shellcode Download: http://www.projectshellcode.com/downloads/arwin.c)
- shellcodetest.c
(Project Shellcode Download: http://www.projectshellcode.com/downloads/shellcodetest.c)
Start up a bash shell from the start menu and cd to your "shellcode directory", such as;
cd /home/Administrator/shellcode/
You now need to compile arwin.c by using the following command;
gcc -o arwin arwin.c
You should now be able to run arwin by typing ./arwin to display the usage information.
We don't need to compile shellcodetest.c at this stage. Once we have created our shellcode, we then place the shellcode into shellcodetest.c and compile it. This allows us to run shellcodetest to execute our shellcode.
The Metasploit Framework is an awesome resource for shellcoding. At the time of writing, the Metasploit team are about to release version Framework 3.3, which runs in a cygwin environment on Windows. The development version can be downloaded via the following link (please let me know if this link becomes broken):
- Metasploit Framework 3.3-dev
(Project Shellcode Download: http://www.projectshellcode.com/downloads/framework-3.3-dev.exe)
This version of the framework gets installed into C:\msf3\ and has its own dedicated cygwin environment. You can launch a shell via shell.bat.
There are also some awesome Windows programs that we will start to use in Tutorial 4, so download the following tools:
- OllyDbg 1.10 (Awesome Windows Debugger)
(Project Shellcode Download: http://www.projectshellcode.com/downloads/odbg110.zip)
- lcc-win32 (Free Windows C Compiler)
(Project Shellcode Download: http://www.projectshellcode.com/downloads/lccwin32.exe)
You are now ready to create your first simple piece of shellcode.

Ravens were large black birds, often associated with ill news. The ravens that lived near Erebor, though, were friendly with the Dwarves, and some could even speak the Common Tongue. Roäc was the leader of the ravens of Erebor around 2940, when Thorin and Company reclaimed the mountain from Smaug.

March 16, 2010 03:35:22 GMT
The 'Poker Face' hitmaker will come back to the U.S. and entertain her Little Monsters in North America beginning June 28.
Lady GaGa only gets less than a month to take some time off before returning to the stage again. After completing her European leg on June 4, the "Just Dance" singer along with her Monster Ball entourage will travel across North America for an extended trek starting June 28.
GaGa is scheduled to kick off the gig at Bell Centre in Montreal. Despite the fact that she suffered from exhaustion and almost passed out during a concert in New Zealand over the weekend, more than 25 dates have been listed to follow up the Montreal show. She will make the last stop on September 19 at RBC Center in Raleigh.
"It's still called Monster Ball, but it's more of a musical and less of a concert," GaGa said in a February interview with KIIS-FM's Ryan Seacrest. "It has a New York theme, it's a story, and the story is that me and my friends are in New York and we're going to the Monster Ball, and we get lost."
Supporting act for the upcoming gig is yet to be announced.

Donna Summer Tribute Cut Short, Gibb, Houston And Yauch Honored At Billboard Music Awards

[Related: 2012 Billboard Music Awards Photo Gallery]
Bedingfield's cover wasn't as triumphant as the original but it was respectfully done. However, just as the song's ballad intro faded and the track turned upbeat, the show producers segued into a commercial break.
Some viewers complained online. "Donna Summer was literally the voice of an era! they should have at least let Natasha finish the song," New York's Hot 97 DJ Angie Martinez said via Twitter.
Another Twitter user agreed. "Way to cut it short Billboard," Jamie Sward Tweeted in response to Billboard's post, "Natasha Bedingfield gave her all during her Donna Summer tribute."
Spokespersons for the Billboard Music Awards and ABC have not yet replied to Yahoo! Music's requests for responses. One can only imagine how difficult it is to make last minute changes to a live broadcast.
In addition to Summer's late passing, Bee Gee's co-founder Robin Gibb died the day of the awards. Co-host Julie Bowen acknowledged Gibb before a commercial break. "Just over an hour ago we received the very sad news that the music world lost another legend," she said before asking the viewers to take a pause to pay respect to Gibb.
A tribute to the Whitney Houston, who died in February, had been announced. Whoopi Goldberg, John Legend and Jordin Sparks participated in Houston's Millennium Award honor. Goldberg shared a joke about Houston saving her after a run in with the singer's bodyguards during their first meeting. Legend played piano while backed by an orchestra as he also sang Houston's "Greatest Love Of All," and Sparks, who plays Houston's daughter in the movie "Sparkle," sang a solemn rendition of "I Will Always Love You."
[VIDEO: Robin Gibb, 1949-2012]
The most touching moment came when Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, and sister-in-law, Patricia Houston, received the award. Bobbi Kristina, who cried as Sparks sang, said she was "blessed to have been in such an incredible woman's life" when she accepted the award on her mother's behalf.

Michael Showers was back at practice this week and for that we are thankful.
Showers was carted off the field Saturday on a stretcher after going head first into a pile trying to tackle an Alcorn State player. Head coach Reggie Barlow diagnosed the injury as a "neck stinger," which wasn't serious enough to hold Showers overnight in the hospital for observation but is serious enough — as any injury of that type is — to hold him out of practice this week as well as Saturday's game at Texas Southern as a precautionary measure.
That decision produced an interesting domino effect on the depth chart.
The "old" depth chart listed Bradley Street and Dionte Ponder as the backups to Showers and fellow starter Nick Martin. It turns out that Street is no longer at that position, having recently been moved to safety.
So with Ponder moving up to a starting role this week, who is his backup on the two-deep roster?
Meryles Gilbert? Ja'Quez Bowser? Ed Murray? Kenyan Davis? It turns out to be Therron Presley, a true freshman who this time last year was playing for a winless Jeff Davis team.
T.J. Presley isn't the first name that would come to mind. He doesn't have the pedigree of playing for a championship program, the height (5-foot-11) or the weight (170 pounds) you would look for in that situation. Having struck out in all three categories, at least on paper, he looks to be an obvious candidate for a redshirt season in order to build experience and physical strength. And that may turn out to be the case by the time the season is over.
But, at least at this point in the season, it's a very impressive move by the Capital City native to get his name on the two-deep roster. It's a sure sign that Presley is doing all the right things on and off the practice field to put himself in position for early playing time.
And as Ponder found out this week, he's only one injury away from hearing his name called when the starting unit takes the field.

Jerome Lemelson – Inventor of the Bar Code
We take for granted today's technology all to often? Ever stand in line at the supermarket and complain about the long line? Maybe you haven't complained, but you've heard others shout for a new lane to be opened up while standing in line. Can you imagine everything being keyed in at the supermarket manually? You'd be in that line a lot longer.
At Top SEO blog we value tech news and the technology we all use, love, and trust today. It is vital that we all know the history of today's great technology uses and watch further as technology adapts in years to come. This post is part of the Great Inventor series we are doing,"Modern Inventor" , we write about an inventor who helped influence what we all use to get by in today's society. If you have an inventor you would like us to write about please leave us a comment below and you will see your recommended inventor written about in a future article.
There are many tasks that we undertake each day that become "ordinary" and we do not give them a second thought. For instance, how many prefer to use the self-check lane to get out of the department or grocery store? In order to pay for the items, they are dragged over a reader which reads the bar code. Until a few years ago, the bar code was not on every product but today there is nothing untouched. This is just one example of the inventions by Jerome Lemelson has touched our daily lives. His innovative thinking is reflected in many of the things we do every day from checking out at the store to videoing grandchildren.
Early Years of Jerome Lemelson
Jerome Lemelson was born in Staten Island, New York on July 18, 1923 and passed from this life on October 1, 1997. His innovative ideas and inventions still play major roles in our lives every single day. He had an early start as he created his first invention for his father who was a local physician. It was a lighted tongue depressor. As a teenager he ran his own business from the basement of his home in which he made and sold gas powered model airplanes. After he served in WWII, where he served in the Army Air Corps Engineering Department, Lemelson attended New York University. He received two master's degrees after the war. One was in Industrial engineering and the other in Aeronautical Engineering. He worked for some time after the war on Project SQUID for the Office of Naval Research where he worked to develop rocket engines and pulse jet engines. He also worked with a team on the design of guided missiles. His last job that he held before going to work as an independent inventor was at a smelting plant in New Jersey where he was a safety engineer. He quit when the company would not listen to him regarding safety improvements that Lemelson felt would save lives.
Innovative Ideas
The first invention that Lemelson came up with was a universal robot that could be used with several different types of industrial systems. The robot could perform many different actions including welding, measuring and moving products. It used special optical image technology that could scan items for flaws as they traveled through the production line. In 1954, he penned an application for this first patent that he called, "Machine Vision." Various aspects of this automated warehouse system were licensed to the Triax Corporation.
In the 50's he also worked on different types of systems that could be used for video filing. The system videotaped documents to preserve them and then they could be read from a monitor or on stop frame images. He later licensed this and other mechanisms which were used to manipulate and control the tape to Sony Corporation. They used these devices in both video and audio cassette players. Lemelson also worked on several different patents which were for developing various word processing and data processing technologies; these he licensed toIBMin 1981. Even though IBM offered him a permanent position with the company, he turned it down to remain independent as an inventor.
Types of Patents
Lemelson received an average of one patent each month for over 40 years. He spanned several fields related to technology such as the automated warehouse, cordless phones, industrial robots, videocassette recorders, fax machines, camcorders and magnetic tape drives which are used in the Sony Walkman. After battling with liver cancer for about a year, he died in 1997. In that one year he had applied for more than 40 more patents. In 2009, US Patent No. 7,602,947 was issued in his name, it was for a "facial recognition vehicle security system." In his latter years he focused in the field of biomedical technology such as is used for detection and treatment of cancer.

Footballer turned bookie rep Dale Tempest wonders how the Manchester clubs will respond this weekend and picks out his best bets.
Former professional footballer Dale Tempest is now a bookie public relations man - he's very much got his finger on the pulse of the markets as both a punter and an oddsmaker.
Fulham, Huddersfield and Colchester were among his clubs during a 16-year career so he knows exactly how the game is played.
These days in his role at Sky Bet - you may have seen him on Sky Sports News - he's looking at things from a different perspective.
His regular Friday column explores the mindset of the bookies and highlights the best bets for the weekend's Premier League action.
This week he feels the Manchester clubs may well respond differently to recent adversity.
It's not been a great period for the Manchester clubs and when placing your bets this week you have to consider how they will bounce back from recent disappointments. Good players need to have a look in the mirror sometimes and respond quickly with a positive performance and I think that's what will happen with City against Everton. They've scored in 50-odd games in a row at home and they've got so much quality that I think they will respond and get a result against an Everton side for whom Gareth Barry is a big miss. Manuel Pellegrini got things so wrong tactically in midweek against Bayern Munich but I don't think he'll make the same mistake against Everton.
For United, on the other hand, things look more negative ahead of their trip to Sunderland. They've been under-performing all season - it's not just been about one or two bad performances. There seems to be a lack of quality and fire in this United side and I wouldn't be backing them against anybody at 8/15 right now.
Draw Trixie on Cardiff v Newcastle, Fulham v Stoke & Hull v Aston Villa
When I look at the Premier League fixtures these days I see so many teams who would take a point if offered it so most weekends I have a small draw Trixie - that's one treble and three doubles in total. It only really needs to come off once a season to make money. These are the matches I'm picking this week. All six managers would take a point now, in my opinion. I'm looking at teams who have had a half-decent start and want to maintain it - the likes of Hull, Villa and Cardiff. And then also teams who need to find a response. Away from home, Newcastle and Stoke both fall into that category and a draw for them wouldn't be the worst result in the world.
Morgan Amalfitano to score 1st in West Brom v Arsenal at 18/1
It was fascinating to hear Arsene Wenger have a slight pop at Jack Wilshere on Friday. He's underperformed compared to expectations and what he may well need is somebody to tell him. I know there are only so many times you can put your arm around someone's shoulder. His team are playing well and it shows the standards Arsenal are trying to set that Wenger has done that. In my day, it was mostly stick rather than carrot. I remember at Huddersfield our manager, Mick Buxton, wouldn't have long-sleeve shirts - he said they gave the impression we were soft! Arsenal will be well backed in the match betting but an angle many won't have spotted comes in the scorer markets. I saw plenty of West Brom's win at Manchester United and Morgan Amalfitano again caught the eye. He's 18/1 for the first goal in this one which looks a massive price. He's scored in both appearances so far, against Sunderland and United, and also takes free kicks. When it comes to penalties, there's no obvious taker so I wouldn't be surprised to see him step up if the Baggies get a spot kick.
Under 2.5 goals in Southampton v Swansea at 5/6
My best bet of the weekend comes at St Mary's - under goals in Southampton v Swansea. All six Southampton games so far have been under the 2.5 goal line, while all three of Swansea's away matches have too. 5/6 looks more than a fair price to me when you also consider these are two teams who may well cancel each other out.

Our News 8 Golden Apple Award winner has given hundreds of students in Brockport their foundation for a lifetime of learning. We surprise Universal Pre-K teacher Ann Lee Walker at the Ginther School.
There are a lot of firsts in pre-K. Might be the first time away from home. First time with new friends, new routines and new adult in their lives. Ann Lee Walker is the perfect teacher for that.
Katherine Markham says her daughter Aeris is fortunate Miss Walker is her teacher. She asked us to help her say thank you. "Because Mrs. Walker is a jewel. She is the best of the best. She is the most unassuming yet dynamic person you're ever going to come across."
Pre-K is not a job you get into for money or fame. Instead Ann Lee does it for the pure joy of knowing she can change a child's life. "They're so enthusiastic, they love school. and we just have so much fun together. And I love the movement and the painting and the reading stories and learning about the alphabet. It's just, it's a great age to teach."
"She is very dedicated" says Principal Debra Waye. "She's one of those teachers who is in here on the weekends. She comes in early, she stays late. She goes above and beyond and she makes connections with the children and their families. And this lasts for generations as you can tell."
Ann Lee has been a teacher in Brockport almost 33 years. After all that time it's still nice to hear how much she means to families. "It's such a nice compliment, thank you. Well again, thank you for all the things you do for kids in Brockport. Oh thank you so much. What a surprise!"
Ann Lee Walker is a News 8 Golden Apple Award winner. You can read the letter we got from Katherine nominating her below.
Dear News 8,
After many years of teaching kindergarten, Miss. Walker, along with her assistant Mrs. Canham, has become integral to the Brockport Central School District's Universal Pre-K program.... and what joy she has brought to our lives! Miss Walker has created a bastion of warmth and exuberant exploration; in four short months I've witnessed my 4 year old daughter, Aeris, and her classmates relish in their first taste of a formative school environment... no parent could ever hope for more!
I encourage you to consider this beloved educator for your Golden Apple award; as a 46 year old graduate of the Brockport Central School District with an older 19 year old daughter who just graduated from the district this past year, I tell you, unequivocally, Miss. Ann Lee Walker is the best-of-the-best, and we Brockporters are dearly blessed to be able to entrust our little ones into her care.
Most sincerely,
Katherine A. Markham (Aeris Powers' Mommy)
