UFC 135 Suspensions: Jones Out Up To Six Months
Sorry about your luck Rashad Evans…
Twelve UFC 135 participants have been medically suspended following their efforts at last weekend's "Jones vs. Rampage" event including the light-heavyweight champion who could be out up to six-months for injuries suffered during the night's main event.
"UFC 135: Jones vs. Rampage" took place last Saturday, September 24 live on pay-per-view from Denver's Pepsi Center. The card featured a light-heavyweight title fight in its main event between champion, Jon Jones and challenger "Rampage" Jackson in the champs first ever title defense. The bout ended in the fourth round with Jones securing a submission to retain his title.
Next up for the champion is long-time number one contender, Rashad Evans whose aspirations to regain his title originally lost at the hands of Lyoto Machida have been sidelined month after month and year after year due to injuries to both himself and his opponents.
After originally being scheduled to face Jones, he was leap frogged yet again when Jones was forced to withdraw from the scheduled meeting due to injury. The set back put Evans against Ortiz and the healed up Jones against Rampage.
With the possibility of another extended layoff from the champion, the division could become stagnant yet again; the UFC has already planned the next number one contender showdown at UFC 139 between Dan Henderson and "Shogun" Rua this November.
No details regarding the cause of suspensions were given by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies' Office of Boxing.
The full list of suspensions is as follows:
• Jon Jones: Suspended 180 days (or 45 days with physician clearance)
• Quinton Jackson: Suspended 60 days with no contact during training for 45 days
• Matt Hughes: Suspended 45 days no contact for 30 days
• Mark Hunt: Suspended 45 days no contact for 30 days
• Ben Rothwell: Suspended 60 days with no contact for 45 days
• Takanori Gomi: Suspended 30 days
• Aaron Riley: Suspended 180 days (or 90 days with physician clearance)
• Nick Ring: Suspended 30 days
• Eddie Yagin: Suspended 30 days
• Cole Escovedo: Suspended 45 days no contact for 30 days
• Ricardo Romero: Suspended 60 days with no contact for 45 days
• James Te Huna: Suspended 180 days for injuries (or a minimum 30 Days with physician clearance)

What could possibly be wrong with Jones. He barely broke a sweat during that fight.
Half a year suspension? I see an Interim Light Heavyweight Championship fight in the near future. Rashad vs the winner of Shogun/Hendo maybe.
More likely rashad vs machida
No more likely the Hendo/Shogun winner.. If there fighting for number 1 contender the winner would have to get an interim shot.. Besides the winner of Hendo and Shogun vs Rashad would easily sell better than Machida and Rashad
Jones won't be out for long at all these medical suspensions mean nothing, its the commissions way of trying to feel important and thinking they are all about fighter safety but they are really just achieving nothing with these suspensions
you know there are ppl willing to pay to see that….
Got a feeling that it might be Jones' left foot. I think it was in the 3rd round when he threw a left kick that rampage checked. The top of his foot landed square on his knee. It appeared that he shook it right after.
I think that's what it is too. Oh, Rashad, if only…! The term "hind sight is 20/20″ really comes into play here. Shoulda, coulda, woulda… Doh!
Spot On! I saw this. My reaction "Rampage checked that one" my friends response " I think he hit his foot on that one"
I read that Jones broke his foot during the fight
Tom Ryan: "Rashad vs the winner of Shogun/Hendo maybe."
if, then; Rashad vs Hendo = K.O or TKO victory Hendo! IMHO 😛
Hendo has granite chin, Rash hasn't ;p
I'm glad that Diaz isn't fighting GSP… GSP would walk through him… It would be a disgrace to strikeforce… BJ penn deserves a shot @ GSP since GSP admitted that he cheated against BJ…
With all these injuries, Rashad will be 40 before he gets a title shot.
Kos didnt make the list for once….
Jon Jones broke his foot from kicking rampage, 3rd round, rampage checked it lol
yeah jon seemed to be walking around fine after the fight. idk what is wrong with him but im kinda thinkin it might be b/s
LOL, he had ice packs TAPED to his feet during the post-fight presser.
I think that means at least something.
2nd time Jones is sidelined long to fight Rashad. Rashad as well is healing his broken hand but, the main reason is that they really don't like each other and Jones is taking it really personal an indeed he knows that Rashad might know his gameplan an else. Now, that Jones might endeed up fighting Rashad I don't know but, it is gonna happen maybe by august or september nxt year. Rashad would be pissed but, he might wait as he might not and if Rashad ends fighting the winner of shogun vs hendo and walks thru one of them too, if Jones is sidelined longer than I think Rashad might move down to Middleweight, which is freaking good for him. I do like to see Rashad in middleweight not a bad idea, who knows once than hand is heal he might start cutting weight instead of risking his no.1 contender spot.
Huh!? My immediate reaction to this is "Hasn't this guy heard of spell-check?" And then I thought, it will take more than spell check to doctor that up! I don't even know where to start — misplaced and unnecessary punctuations…spelling…grammar. Dude, don't you proof-read your stuff? If you want us to understand what you're trying to say, do us a favor, try to get a kid in fourth grade to proof-read anything you write before you hit that "POST COMMENT" button will you?
you get your penis…. that is that thing you p1ss out of yeah. you take it and you put it in the pu55y, that is that hole inbetween a girls legs – you wouldn't know that though because you've never seen one by my estimation. then, you've finally got layed. it won't go well but it'll stop you from being a grammer nerd online you get me homie – in your case homo. im like batman, you just FAT, man.
So when u talking to somebody and u laugh u say "lol" bitch? Back the hell up teacher.
Hey Nick, you would've been making out with my fist!
Shut up, GSP. I'm Cesar Gracie and I know everything especially with my one knockout loss mms fight. That was real fighting. What you would've done wouldn't have been real fighting. Cuz I'm a real fighter with my one mma fight where I got knocked the fuck out.
Dont think Rashad will walk through Shogun or Hendo. I actually see both Shogun and Hendo being favourites against Rashad. Anyway its sad that Rashad and Jones maybe isnt fighting because Rashad is the only one I see having a chance against Jones!
So, Let Rampage fight Shogun, and Hendo Fight Rashad For A Throw Away…
jones and his girlfriend must of had real rough sex bc jones didn't look hurt at all during or after the fight. looked like he could have gone another 5 rounds. well he probably did with his white GF. LOL
big ben rothwell – no contact for 45 days….holy sh1t. this is the last thing that guy needed haha. he needs to get in the gym asap and get fit, altidtude or no altitude he wasn't in shape.
It's a precautionary 180 days. Did any of you read? It can be as little as 45 days with a physician's clearance. The 180 day term is probably based on worst case scenario which is broken bones in arm/foot. His injuries haven't even been substantiated yet.
WTF happened to jones 180 days ..
Jones been ducking rashad for over what? 6 months now
Shogun = Dec. win, Hendo = Rashad ending up getting put to sleep, But its okay Jon, as long as you duck Hendo as well you will still keep your title

Over the past twenty years or so, the work on Japanese within generative grammar has shifted from primarily using contemporary theory to describe Japanese to contributing directly to general theory, on top of producing extensive analyses of the language.

Anesthesiologist Jason Burke launched a service for imbibers: a bus that cruises the Strip to cure the hung-over. 'Hangover Heaven' offers IV therapy to rehydrate partiers. Anti-nausea medicine and vitamin treatments also are offered.
Hangovers happen in Vegas.
But they don't have to stay long, says anesthesiologist Jason Burke.
A year ago, he launched a service for imbibers: a bus that cruises the Strip to cure the hung-over. 'Hangover Heaven' offers IV therapy to rehydrate partiers. Anti-nausea medicine and vitamin treatments also are offered.
Patients can purchase "Redemption" — $99 — which uses IV fluids. Or they can add intensive nausea and vitamin therapy (Salvation, $159). "It works," Burke says. Treatment takes a half-hour to 45 minutes. The needle-shy can try a non-IV hangover alleviation treatment for $35.
Burke says he is surprised at the controversy his treatment has generated.
Fellow physician Robert Glatter, who practices emergency-room medicine in New York City, wrote on Forbes.com: "While there is no doubt that Hangover Heaven is a band-aid for your symptoms, it's sometimes better to actually feel the pain, as it's a good reminder of the evils of consuming too much alcohol."
Burke wrote when he started the business that he does not think think Hangover Heaven "encourages binge drinking. Most hangovers are a case of people losing track of how much they had to drink. I am a businessman, but I am first a physician," he writes. "This treatment is extremely safe."
His treatment, he wrote, encourages " the enzymatic reaction that breaks down the by-products of alcohol, namely acetylaldehyde. Acetylaldehyde is a very difficult compound to resolve and it can take some time. The medications help to buy some time until the body can rid itself of the excess acetylaldehyde, which is what makes people feel like they want to curl up and die."
Burke hired emergency medical technicians to assist him on the job, he says. He says he trained at Duke University and has almost 15 years of experience
He won't use a Breathalizer, but says he'll do a "subjective evaluation" to make sure patients aren't still intoxicated or under the influence of drugs. IVs are administered via pediatric needles, which the squeamish find easier to tolerate.
Prospective clients can learn more on hangoverheaven.com or by calling 702-900-0660. Treatments in hotel rooms also are offered.
As for the legality of Hangover Heaven, he says he has been dealing with various regulatory entities and that it was difficult to open up shop.
"If only people knew the headaches I had to go through to do this," says the hangover specialist.

According to an anonymous source somewhere in the Apple hardware supply chain, Apple is getting ready to unveil an iPad Mini. The source, who spoke to Chinese tech site MyDrivers, says the tiny tablet will be released somewhere under the $300 mark, to compete directly with Google's Nexus 7.
Among the bits of information that the source was able to reveal was the display type being used. The device will purportedly be using a 7.85″ IGZO screen from Sharp, which is capable of an impressive 330 dpi. If the rest of the device can handle it, this may mean full HD on the fairly small screen is possible. This isn't something we've seen on these mini-tablets yet, with the Nexus 7 running at 1280×800, and the Kindle Fire managing only 1024×600. It's worth noting that that unimpressive Kindle screen runs at 169 dpi, putting it's native resolution well below that of the Sharp screen that may be showing up on the Apple device.
They also say that the iPad Mini will be of comparable thickness to the iPad 2, which makes one think that the device may live up to its name in a fairly literal manner. The mock-up MyDriver is showing is exactly what the name iPad Mini would imply; the same design queues as its bigger cousin, just packed into a smaller form factor.
Small, cheap tablets seem to be the new battle ground for hardware makers, with the Kindle Fire and the Nexus 7 already set to do battle, and this potential Apple-branded contender on its way. It will be an interesting battle to watch this holiday season, as all the devices are set to weigh in somewhere under the $300 mark, and we may see a GPS-enabled Kindle Fire before then. The big unknown will be the specs on this rumored Apple device, and how they stack up to the current Amazon and Google offerings.

It's the calm before the freeze.
And home depot employees are preparing.
"I think it's kind of last minute this is the first freeze, so especially after the first freeze, people will realize what happened to their piping. During this week I am sure we are going to be having a lot of people coming here," says Home Depot Employee Abraham Figueroa,
It's the first widespread freeze forecast for the Rogue Valley and if your outside pipes aren't ready, now is the time.
Figueroa says "you have a busted water line, now you have your house flooded on the inside or maybe when you walk in your whole yard is flooded."
Even more reason to get ready the National Weather Service says it will be a hard freeze.
"Even really in the outlying areas, we haven't really had a hard freeze even in the outlying areas the temperatures we've been seeing have maybe been 20 to 30, so this is going to be colder," says National Weather Service Meteorologist Brett Lutz.
So it's better to be proactive rather than reactive....
Figueroa says "you want to take into consideration cause it can be very very expensive."
...when it comes to having your home ready for the very cold temperatures that will be sticking around for a while.
Also, this is a good time to be aware of sensitive vegetation if you do have any left.
And be very mindful of outdoor pets tonight.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) – After seeing an email that New Hanover County Commissioner Brian Berger sent to County Manager Bruce Shell and other county staffers, Commissioners Jonathan Barfield, Jason Thompson and Rick Catlin sent Berger an email calling him out for his unprofessionalism.
He fired back Tuesday with this email:
Dear Rick, Jason and Jonathan,
Just a few comments on your rather bizarre self-serving e-mails. This may be a change from the practices of the past but as a new Commissioner, new to county government, if I have questions I will ask them of staff. Rick you owe me and staff an apology for both the tone of your e-mail and it's blatent mischaracterization of what was requested (below). Like you, I treat staff with the respect and courtesy they all deserve. I am mindful of how hard working many of them are. My requests for additional information were motivated by the need to be better informed on the key issue of non-attainment and what we are doing about. This isn't your issue–It's an issue for all of us in the County. All the Commissioners need to be kept informed on a timely basis. You might forget that when I called you from Washington D.C. not long ago you were "too busy" too respond to a question relevant to a meeting we were having with some of our elected representatives on this issue. Yet, you had time to respond to numerous self-promoting media requests on other issues that day. While you were conducting your media tour, Shawn Ralston promptly provided the information I requested which led to more progress that morning than all your meetings with special interest groups.
As an elected official I have a responsibility to fight for the best interests of the taxpayers of the County, and when denied public information, subjected to exclusions, and petty actions, I am compelled to take action. I will not doubt your sincerity on this issue- don't question mine. All of us have a concern with this issue. You should recall that the NHC community was quite concerned recently with meetings between the Chairman and Vice-Chairman with the School Board which were not as beneficial as they might have been with all of us involved. Likewise, discussion of the funding of the Art Council was largely overshadowed by the deceptiveness involved in sneaking the proposal into an agenda and passing it without public notice or debate – led by the same Chairman and Vice-Chairman…more business as usual in New Hanover County.
If people are kept informed they will have less questions. Unlike you Rick, I haven't been part of county government and the status quo for many years and if I have questions I will ask them. Rick, since you portend to be against some trying to stifle free speech, it is a bit contradictory for you to want to limit who knows what and when. All I request, is to be kept better informed, I have no issue with others taking the lead.
Jason– I have enjoyed working with you, even though we differ from time to time– but your use of the term "der fuhrer' in these circumstances is both highly offensive and inappropriate. Too often in the past, we had a County Government that was not transparent. Backroom deals were used instead of strategic planning and innovative thinking to solve problems, and your approach according to your own explanation is a throwback to "business as usual" which created this economic and environmental threat we now face and voters rejected in large numbers last year. Maybe if people had asked more questions and insisted on better answers we wouldn't have issues like R3 and all the unanswered questions surrounding the company and decision to award them a now infamous contract.
If my requesting information in a respectful manner is a problem for you—get used to it.
Brian M. Berger

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- A news reporter for a San Francisco television station has reunited rock guitarist Carlos Santana with a former bandmate he hadn't seen in decades and who now lives on the streets of Oakland.
Reporter Stanley Roberts ran into percussionist Marcus "The Magnificent" Malone while working on a story about illegal dumping last week, KRON-TV in San Francisco reports.
Although he initially was skeptical of the homeless man's claim that the Santana Blues Band got its start in his mother's garage in the late 1960s, Roberts checked out the story and confirmed it. And on Friday, he took Santana for a surprise visit to the camper where Malone has been staying.
"You don't know how afraid I am to let you see me," Malone said softly after he and the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer embraced.
"We cherish you," Santana replied. "It's an honor to be in your presence."
Santana has credited Malone with being an important influence on his Afro-Latin sound, according to former Rolling Stone magazine writer Ben Fong-Torres' book "Not Fade Away: A Backstage Ticket to 20 years of Rock & Roll."
Malone played congas on Santana's eponymous first album, but left the band in 1969 shortly before its seminal performance at Woodstock when he was imprisoned for manslaughter, according to Fong-Torres.
The two men told Roberts they had not seen each other since then. During their meeting on Friday, Santana promised to bring Malone a set of congas and to help him get on his feet.
Since Roberts' story aired, another original member of the Santana Blues Band, percussionist Rod Harper, and producer Bobby Scott also have expressed interest in reuniting with Malone.

Planes, Train and Cars - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The episode begins with Phil and his friend arriving to buy a new Cadillac. Phil in the meanwhile yearns to buy a Porsche. Meanwhile, Mitch and Cam are taking Lily on her first train ride. Cam bends down to tie Lily's shoelace and throws Mitch Lily's toy bunny, but instead of Mitch catching it, the bunny falls inside the train with the doors of the train closing and the train leaving, with Mitch looking on in despair. Lily is agitated and Mitch and Cam are at a loss about what they should do. Meanwhile, Phil is admiring the Porsche parked in front of him. Mitch's friend prompts him to buy it, if he wants it so badly. Phil is in the end sold on the idea and decides to take the Porsche for a spin. Meanwhile the Pritchett family is going to Pebble Beach for the weekend. Jay is very excited to go, as he would meet guys there who according to him, really look up to him.
Meanwhile, Phil drives into his home in the Porsche. Luke loves it but Alex isn't too pleased, Phil is also worried about how Claire would react. Haley too is overjoyed on seeing the car, as she assumes it's for her. Alex then bursts her balloon. Meanwhile, Claire comes in and acts normal, she even compliments the car, and then walks back in. Phil and his friend are shocked at Claire's reaction, with Phil a little scared. Meanwhile, Lily isn't sleeping because she lost her bunny, which means so aren't Mitch and Cam. Meanwhile, Jay gets Gloria and Manny to a private airstrip, on seeing a small private plane Gloria refuses to fly in it. The Pritchett family in the end decides to drive to Pebble Beach. Meanwhile, Phil is having a bit of a space issue with the Porsche, with Claire still maintaining her silence on the matter.
Phil feels there is something more to Claire not saying anything about the issue than meets the eye. Meanwhile, Jay hits a pothole and the car breaks down. Claire in the meanwhile, plans to be a bit irresponsible and let her hair down, she blows off her errands and heads for the coast in the Porsche. Meanwhile, the guy at the car repair shop is so enamored by Gloria's beauty that he offers to drop the Pritchett family in his own helicopter. Gloria is completely averse to travelling in the helicopter, as she is mortified of the idea. Meanwhile, Lily is adamant she wants bunny back even after Mitch tells her that he has gone to St. Louis. Meanwhile, Phil isn't too happy to be chauffeuring around his family, instead of enjoying his new car. He then slowly begins to like driving them around while observing them doing stuff in the rearview mirror. Meanwhile, Claire is having the time of her life at the coast, she has the food she likes and plays around on the beach, with her cell phone switched off and without a care in the world.
She at the end of it all realizes that she has lost her car keys. Meanwhile, Cam and Mitch put up posters of bunny at the station. Mitch feels it's ridiculous, but Cam disagrees, saying he knows how it feels to lose your favorite toy at Lily's age. Mitch on the other hand feels losing a toy and being able to cope with it, builds character. They then see bunny in the arms of a homeless guy, lying on the ground nearby. They try to pry it out of the man's hand, but then see him sneezing a coughing on it, and change their minds. Meanwhile, the Pritchetts spend their time in a motel, till their car is repaired, as Gloria didn't allow them to use the helicopter. Meanwhile, Jay confesses to Gloria that he wasn't such a big cahuna in Pebble Beach as he bragged of being. He was in fact a shy kid, and now he wants to show off to everyone that he has managed to bag a hot wife.
Gloria is ready to ride the helicopter when she hears this, so she can be paraded around in front of Jay's friends like a trophy. Meanwhile, Phil comes to the beach to pick up Claire, and she tells him how great a car the Porsche is and how much fun she had. The two then discuss about their family. The two then cuddle on the beach.
Meanwhile, everything works out just fine for the Pritchetts, Dunphys and the trio of Mitch and Cam and Lily. Meanwhile, Phil doesn't want the Porsche and tries selling it to his friend, who confesses to Phil that his wife might not allow him to buy it. The episode ends at this point.

Here's my papercraft TV set with a film strip of selected frames from a movie. The strip is wrapped arround two pencils. As you turn the pencils film scrolls over the screen. You need to download DIY kit I made from my web site link. They are actualy just PDF files containing the box fold out and a film strip. All you need is to print it, cut it and assemble it. You'll need two pencils (chopsticks might do also) and some glue.
I have done versions for three movies so far. Kill Bill vol. 1, Dirty Harry and Dr. Strangelove.
Sharp Pencil Quality TV
Step 1: Download and print
Step 2: Cut!
Step 4: Assembling the box
Step 5: Film strip
Step 7: Stick and Roll
Glue each end of the film strip to a pencil. It should be at about middle of the lenght of the pencil. Next you need to roll the film to pencils. You should roll it about equaly on each pencil. You might use a rubber band to help you hold the whole thing togather while you roll.
The differences are, that the strip was a continuous drawn river with obstacles, and in one side it includes a steer wheel that moves a little boat in the screen.
Of course, my version has pencils on sides, so the river moves vertically.
Nice remember...

Alright. So I'm new to the site & this seems like a good place to start posting. I saw Lords of Salem about 2 weeks ago & I absolutely loved it. I was not at all impressed with Zombie's Halloween movies but I did thoroughly enjoy House of 1000 Corpses & Devil's Rejects.
I really appreciate the direction he took with this one. It really screams "Argento" to me. Especially Suspiria. I had to immediately watch Suspiria & Phenomena. I can understand why a lot of people that I talked to didn't like it however. They were all expecting it to be like his earlier works. It wasn't, so they didn't like it. I did, however. It's not one that I'll go out of my way to watch repeatedly but if someone else is watching it or a lady friend wants to see it, then I would gladly sit through it again.

Who originally complained about the chickens?
It was Mr. Barry McGuire of 13 Ranch Trail Dr in Debary, Florida. Many of his neighbors hate his rotten guts because he is a buzybody that needs to go back up north.
This guy is a pest to the entire city and is a good friend of councilman NICK KOVAL.
The record of all his many complaints against his neighbors can be obtained by calling the City of Debary code enforcement department.
Perhaps one day his neigbors will have a demonstration in front of his house to let him know what a rotten person they think he is. A couple of dozen people with signs and the media cameras should make this guy wake up to his status in the community.
Call Councilmember Koval and ask Mr Koval about his friend Barry McGuire and all his complaints. Perhaps Mr & Mrs Koval and Barry McStupid may start minding their own business for a change. None of these people are code enforcement agents..they are just pests ...and a cancer on the City of Debary.
Are you sure this is what you would like to do?

Earlybird Start-Up Science 1, 2, 3 and 4
Additional Details
Product Description
This colorful series from Singapore Math introduces early concepts in life science, physical science, chemistry, and earth science to the very young. Each book focuses on one of these sciences, and contains 29 lessons and an answer key. Lessons are a page in length, with each topical lesson containing a short informational segment, follow-up questions or a hands-on activity. The material is presented in its simplest form, and most often the questions repeated at the end simply ask the student what was discussed at the top of the page, although in some cases, it might be helpful to have read a little more material on the subject as well. The range of subjects is pretty impressive, including animal habitats, parts of the ear and eye, seeds and how they sprout, electromagnets, conductors, circuits, mixing colors, evaporation, how sound is made, sinking or floating, seasons, solar system, Milky Way, constellations, meteors, food chains, and more. As an example of a lesson, one lesson in Book 3 features a short paragraph on the properties of some common materials, followed by a blank chart. The students must decide whether some other common materials such as wood, glass, plastic, rubber and others are hard, if they can be bent, if they last a long time, and if they are attracted to a magnet. After that activity, several common materials are listed, and the student must match these to the item or construction it can be used to make. All activities are generously illustrated with friendly, cartoon-like animals and objects, and altogether the books have a fun, relaxed look about them, even though the concepts are fairly well-presented and a little more serious that Ive seen in other early elementary science programs. Inexpensive and easy-to-use, this set could easily make up a complete science curriculum for the early grades, although you may want to supplement with a little more reading, especially with interesting related library books to broaden their horizons a little more. Each book used to be available separately, but it is now sold only as a set of four books. Jess

Customer Reviews
These books are great for when a parent doesn't have time to use a full science curriculum. The 4 books are bright, colorful and fun. When you need something to get science done, these are great, and can be even better when combined with library books.
These early science books are so colorful and well put together. The illustrations are so cute. My kids loved these books and said that they reminded them of a kid's magazine. These are a great intro into the basic sciences and my children loved doing the workbooks. The price is great too.

Morgan, Rowell relent on new form of government
According to a letter signed by Marshville's Mayor Pro Tem Virginia Morgan and Council Member Jim Rowell, the intent to change the town's form of government has been withdrawn.
For much of this year and around the end of 2013, the topic of possibly changing Marshville's form of government from a council-manager form to a mayor-council form has been continually discussed.
In February, council members voted three to two with Morgan, Rowell and Council Member Norma Carpenter voting in favor of adopting a resolution of intent to change the town's form of government.
"The whole process was to find out what the differences are and which we thought were the best for the town. Once we went through that, we had public input and a lot of research and review about the differences and all that stuff and so it was just that we determined that it's not the time to change and it's not a good thing to change right now so that's why we withdrew our request," Rowell said.
He added that in order to have the discussion, they had to start the process.
"Just because you announce your intent doesn't mean that that's what you're going to do," he said.
They (himself and the other council members who supported it) originally did it for research purposes and have now come to the decision that the form of government the town currently has is fine, he said.
"It just didn't make sense to keep on doing it and keep on going when we all agreed that what we got is probably the best," he said.
A discussion and possible action about an ordinance to amend the town's charter was scheduled for the council's April 7 meeting. That meeting was canceled as a result of a quorum not likely to have been present as a result of some council members' scheduling conflicts. Mayor Frank Deese later called special meetings for April 9 and April 10 to discuss amending the town's charter and other topics though both meeting were also cancelled.
A quorum was not expected to be present at the special meetings, which is why they were later cancelled, Deese said.
When asked April 10 about the withdrawing of the intent to change the town's charter, Deese said he had heard rumors about it but had not seen it in writing or had spoken to any of the council members who had voted in favor of it to know if it was official.
Fern Shubert, Marshville's interim town manager, said she received the letter about the intent to change the form of government being withdrawn the afternoon of April 9.
The letter states:
"The Marshville Town Council voted to start the process to change the form of governance from the council/manager form to mayor/council form. The process involves motions of intent, public hearings and then a vote to change the form of governance or not. During this process much research, review and public input has been received. We voted to begin this process to allow for a review process and to cause everyone, citizens and council members, to understand both forms of governance and their differences. After much research, review and public input, we the undersigned believe that the Town of Marshville should remain under the council/manager form of governance. This form of government allows the hiring of a professional town manager that runs the day-to-day operation of the town. The town council has the responsibility to make policy and ordinances, which direct the town manager. It is the council's responsibility to ensure that the manager operates in accordance with their guidance and polices, which in turn allow the town citizens, to have meaningful input in all aspects of their government. We believe this process has helped all involved to better understand their government and allowed for much discussion on both sides of the question. As such we wish to formally withdraw the intent to change the form of governance for the Town of Marshville and continue with the council/manager form."
The letter is signed by both Morgan and Rowell and dated April 9. A space on the letter for Carpenter to sign is left blank.
She had back surgery Monday and has been recovering all week and had nothing to do with the letter, Carpenter said April 10.
Attempts to contact other Marshville council members were not successful as of press time.
The next meeting of the Marshville town council is scheduled for May 5 at 7 p.m. at Marshville town hall according to a Town of Marshville statement.

Went away on holidays and forgot medication (methotrexate, plaquenil and folic acid.) for 4 weeks. Now feel like I have been hit by a bus. Back on medication but now Vit B is rock bottom so now taking Ostilin x2 tabs a day as well. I am so confused what to take when. This is not my field of medicine so am in the dark. I feel like a rattling walking chemist shop. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks for any advice.

If you've read this blog for any length of time, or are a friend or know me via twitter/facebook, then you know I'm a railroad geek. I love trains, and I have delusions of actually building some kind of model railroad at some point. In fact, that's one of my unofficial resolutions for the new year — do something model railroad related. Anything, just don't keep saying I want to be a modeler. Start becoming one.
One of the things I love about living in Teaneck is that there's both freight and commuter rail traffic happening in the area. Every morning, I look south as my bus passes over the CSX River Subdivision (the old Conrail River Line, and before that The West Shore) on Cedar Lane as I head to work, and then look to my right again as the bus swoops down under Route 46, passing the engine terminal for the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad in Ridgefield Park. It's not uncommon to also see CSX and Norfolk Southern road units idling here along with SusieQ engines. Last month, I even saw an old Pennsy mail car and a Pennsy Pullman sitting on a siding at the engine terminal.
Once my bus hits the highway, it passes over the tracks one more time around the outskirts of the North Bergen yard (I think that's it, based on looking at maps on Google), a smallish intermodal (containers) yard with some regular yard work including car carriers and regular freight.
It's much more freight action than I ever got to see when I loved in the Bronx. There, all I ever had a glimpse of was twenty seconds of the CSX Oak Point Yard if I was lucky and my bus pulled into the far right lane so I could look down into the yard.
The local commuter lines run by Jersey Transit also offer up some fun spotting opportunities all over the county, as might be imagined given that it's the only game in town if you want to take the train into Manhattan.
Another great thing is you can hear the engines at night in our neighborhood, both the freight diesels and the passenger trains with their horns. It's not loud, but I find it rather nice. The freight line is about three quarters of a mile to the east, so it's not so close that it's annoying. Then again, after living for seventeen years on the LaGuardia flight path, it's infinitely quieter.
Naturally, this makes me want to model a piece of the local rail system, given that I can view it first-hand and adapt it as I wish. For freight service, that means I could run a mix of CSX/NS/NYS&W, which is fine by me. Or, I could back-date to Conrail or Penn Central/New York Central days. Do I go diesel or steam or transition era? I love them all, so perhaps transition, so I can run both?
Or, I could make up my own railroad, basing it on these lines. I don't know at this point, especially given that I'm not going to be building a basement empire. It'll likely be a small switching layout at first, to learn the skills I need for a bigger layout with potentially continuously running trains on top of switching.
And then there's the matter of scale. Do I want HO, as I like the size and feel of it, or do I go for N, which allows me to pack more railroad into a smaller space?
Decisions, decisions. But first, maybe a diorama with some track running through it, just to get things going. I have plans!
Here's some footage from the NYS&W section of the line in Ridgefield Park.
I keep meaning to write a blog post about my current work-in-progress.
As for H vs. HO, only you can make that choice. But I'd suggest it's down to which is the most important; switching or main-line operations.
Do add a post — just saw your revamped railroad page. As to HO vs. N, well…I don't know at this point what form it'll all take. I may even do an HO switching and an N looping thing for running with a bit of switching. Depends on how much space I can negotiate with Kim.
Hey Scott; our mutual friend Bob C. turned me on to your blog; great reading! It's never too late to start enjoying model railroading. I like to model the Lackawanna ca. 1955 and the Erie Lackawanna ca. 1975. My 2 pennies worth is to think about HO scale as you will find by far the greatest variety of equipment etc. N has come a _very_long way and is also viable, it does depend on space constraints (and how well you can see:-). But I've seen some amazing shelf layouts in HO.
Drop me a line and we'll get you and Bob out here to my place to check out my layout. I'll be happy to answer any questions you have in the meantime. Have fun and Happy Modeling!
James Harr
Stella Scale Models
I'm still torn at the moment, James. I'm sure seeing a functioning layout will actually get me in the mindset for what I want to do.
I'll touch base soon about setting up a layout visit.

ERWIN — What Unicoi County Commission Chairwoman Marie Rice described as a lengthy and difficult process came to an end Monday.
The Unicoi County Commission, by an 8-1 vote, approved the passage of the county's 2013-14 fiscal year budget, which does not include a property tax increase in the new fiscal year. The property tax rate will remain $2.6838 per $100 on real property.
The budget approved Monday includes 3 percent salary raises for full-time county courthouse and Unicoi County Sheriff's Department employees. It also include the portion the county previously agreed to pay toward county employees' health insurance, as well as funding for the hiring of several new deputies and the salaries of six part-time jailers needed to by the county to maintain certification of its jail facilities. The budget leaves the county with a fund balance of $113,960 in the 2013-14 fiscal year.
Monday marked the second time final approval of the county's proposed budget had been up for the commission's consideration. In early July, the commission's finance committee began the budget preparation process and developed a budget that included one-time $500 bonuses for most county courthouse employees and a portion of the raises the sheriff's department sought for its employees through a 10-year step-raise system. The originally proposed budget also included a projected $180,000 in revenue that was a portion of the $750,000 contribution the county is set to receive from Mountain States Health Alliance when its acquisition of Unicoi County Memorial Hospital closes.
Late last month, the commission approved the first reading of the originally proposed budget, but at a Sept. 10 called meeting, the second and final reading of the budget failed by a 4-5 vote.
On Sept. 16, the Finance Committee began meeting to rework the budget. That evening, the committee opted to remove the $180,000 in revenue from the MSHA contribution and $150,000 in revenue projected from fees collected by the Circuit Court Clerk's office. On Sept. 17, the committee reviewed several options to address the county employee raise issue, and the panel opted to grant full-time employees a 3 percent raise in the new fiscal year.
Commissioner Mickey Hatcher said Monday that while the county's 2013-14 fund balance is "a little thin," he said it does not include a property tax increase. He also said the 3 percent raises does not address the county's part-time employees. He said he would like to see the county take a look at this later, possibly passing a budget amendment to grant part-time employees retroactive pay raises.
Following the commission's vote, Rice thanked her fellow commissioners for the time they spent working on the budget.
"I know it's been a long, hard budget process, but I think everyone was able to come to a compromise to put Unicoi County first," she said.
After the meeting, Commissioner Loren Thomas, who cast the lone dissenting vote, said he felt like the originally proposed budget was stronger than the one approved Monday.
"I just felt like we had a better budget package put together a couple of weeks ago, and we were trying to get the sheriff's department at least half of their step raises they had requested," he said. "This budget doesn't include that. It does include a raise, but it's not getting the sheriff's department employees up to where I feel they need to be. This fund balance is about half of what it should be. I firmly believe the hospital money will come in ... and that we should have projected that as a revenue."
Thomas also said more participation from the commission was needed during the budget-development process.
"There was a lot of effort on some commissioners' part, and it just didn't work out," he said.
Unicoi County Mayor Greg Lynch said if the county receives the $750,000 MSHA contribution during the 2013-14 fiscal year, the money will be move into an undesignated fund. He said the county could then approve a budget amendment to use the $180,000 and move part of this funding toward the amount remaining on the county's ambulance service subsidy for the 2013-14 fiscal year. The difference, Lynch said, would be put toward the county's fund balance.
"We finally got through this thing, but the fund balance is pretty low," Lynch said. "It's not the lowest I've ever seen, but it's low."
Finance Committee meetings scheduled today through Thursday have been canceled as a result of the budget's passage.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. ---
The Cal State Northridge women's soccer team (5-9-1, 0-3-1 BWC) lost 1-0 to UC Santa Barbara Sunday afternoon in a Big West Conference match at Matador Soccer Field. A Gaucho goal in the 14th minute of action proved decisive as the Matadors lost to UCSB for the first time since 2010.
Although both teams finished with 10 shots, the Matadors had trouble generating dangerous offensive chances for the second-straight match. Haley Chee and Brittanie Sakajian each had a shot on goal, but neither attempt gave UCSB's Beth Ritter much difficulty.
The game's only goal came in the 14th minute on a hectic sequence. UCSB's Angelisa Cortez forced a CSUN turnover and broke in on goal. Her shot was saved by an on-rushing Cynthia Tafoya, but the carrom found the foot of Allie Ariniello. She then took a touch and put the ball into an open net.
Tafoya finished with two saves in the contest, but the loss dropped her record to 5-6-1 on the season. Both teams had five corner kicks and UCSB had 10 fouls to six for CSUN. Sophomore Lyndsey Preston saw the yellow card in the 90th minute of action.
The loss marked CSUN's third shutout defeat at home in its last four contests at Matador Soccer Field. With one point through its first four Big West matches, Northridge will have to string together a strong finish to qualify for a fourth-straight Big West Tournament.
Next week, CSUN hits the road for its only contest. On Oct. 20, the Matadors will play at UC Davis in a 1 p.m. contest.

Google cutting data usage and translating the web with Chrome for iOS
Google Chrome, one of the better alternative iOS browsers available, is about to get some pretty nifty new features in the latest release; Data compression, and Translate.
When enabled, Chrome's data compression and bandwidth management can reduce data usage by up to 50% while browsing the web on Chrome for Android and iOS. This feature also enables Chrome's Safe Browsing technology which helps protect you from malicious webpages.
We heard your requests and will be introducing Google Translate in Chrome for iOS in the coming days. With this update, you can now translate webpages in Chrome with the click of a button on your iPhone and iPad, just as you're used to on Chrome for desktop and Android.
Both important additions for very different reasons. Translating web pages on the fly is something in particular I'm looking forward to. How about you? Grab the current version from the App Store link below, and keep your eyes peeled for an update in the coming days.

Google cutting data usage and translating the web with Chrome for iOS
It only works with HTTP traffic, not HTTPS..http://blog.chromium.org/2013/03/data-compression-in-chrome-beta-for.html - Additionally the HTTP traffic that is compressed by the proxy is then sent to you via HTTPS
Google pipe enough of what I do through their filter. I don't need them pre-formatting all of my internet.
No thanks.
Both features are great additions. This may be worth taking a look Google chrome just for the data compression.

"Grab the current version from the App Store link below, and keep your eyes peeled for an update in the coming days"
I loved using Chrome but it recently (maybe 6 months or so ago) started freezing and then just crashing over and over. I've deleted the app, reinstalled, made sure it was updated, etc... but it still gave me those issues rendering the app useless.
Has anyone else run into a similar problem? I think my launch-day, iPhone 5 may be struggling to wrap its mind around iOS7 and the battery life has significantly worsened in the last 2-3 months so I wonder if it's just showing it's age?
I didn't like this in Opera, doubt I'll use it with Chrome either.

Leadership has nothing to do with faithful pastoral ministry. Nothing at all. Therefore, I do not understand pastors' preoccupation with Leadership and strategy. When did it occur to pastors that they needed to lead? When did God require of us to take control? Discipleship on the other hand has everything to do with faithful ministry. Discipleship simply means following Jesus and letting him lead. Surely this is the way God envisioned the pastoral vocation. Daily taking up our cross and following him. Why do so many pastors want to lead and why do so few want to follow Jesus?
Concerning Leadership and pastoral ministry…

- Sacrocolpopexy
More than 120,000 women have surgery for uterine and vaginal vault prolapse each year in the United States . Prolapse (or falling) of any pelvic floor organs (vagina, uterus, bladder or rectum) occurs when the connective tissues or muscles in the body cavity are weak and can not hold the pelvis in its natural position.
The weakening of connective tissues accelerates with age, after child birth, with weight gain and strenuous physical labor. Women with pelvic organ prolapse typically have problems with urinary incontinence, vaginal ulceration, sexual dysfunction and/or having a bowel movement.
The Treatment
Sacrocolpopexy is a procedure to surgically correct vaginal vault prolapse where mesh is used to hold the vagina in the correct anatomical position. This procedure can also be performed following a hysterectomy to treat uterine prolapse to provide long-term support of the vagina.
Open Surgery
Sacrocolpopexy has traditionally been performed as an open surgery. A 15-30 cm horizontal incision is made in the lower abdomen in order to manually access the inter-abdominal organs, including the uterus.
da Vinci Sacrocolpopexy
If your doctor recommends sacrocolpopexy, you may be a candidate for a new surgical procedure called da Vinci Sacrocolpopexy. This procedure uses a state-of-the-art surgical system designed to help your surgeon perform a minimally invasive surgery through small incisions.
For most women, da Vinci Sacrocolpopexy offers numerous potential benefits over a traditional open approach:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss and need for transfusions
- Less risk of infection
- Less scarring
- Shorter hospital stay
- Shorter recovery time
- Quicker return to normal activities
As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed since surgery is specific to each patient and procedure.

I don't know about you, but I have always had a spot in my heart for the RPG; more specifically, the RPGs and JRPGs of the past. I started playing video games with Super Mario World and Donky Kong Country, but I found RPGs fascinating due to their more in-depth story and much more intricate gameplay. I attempted to play all that I could, and I managed to get my hands on some of the more memorable, and some of my personal favorites. Final Fantasy VI and VII, Legend of Dragoon, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, are just a few of the ones I was honored to spend time with. Read the rest of this entry »

Zombi U Review17 09 2014
ZombiU rose at the time of the Wii U's launch and was meant to show off just what Nintendo's latest console could do, specifically with its new and intriguing GamePad controller. With this in mind, Ubisoft implemented every way imaginable that one might use a device such as this efficiently in a zombie apocalypse. Some of the features that made it in make for some interesting gameplay. Others, however, not only fail to bring out the GamePad's full potential, but act as an exercise in both frustration and pointlessness. Read the rest of this entry »

Sega Dreamcast: A Look Back After 15 Years10 09 2014
It is 1997 and Sega's current console, the Sega Saturn, is floundering to say the least. With what started out as a horrid idea to announce at the first E3 in 1995 that the console had already shipped without warning, the Saturn was doomed from the beginning. Fast forward to 1998 and Sega was bound and determined to learn from their past mistakes. What came of this become what is still considered one of the best consoles ever, and one of the saddest stories in the video game industry in the Sega Dreamcast, which deputed in Japan of that year, and in America one year later in 1999.

The "Gamers," They Are a Changin'4 09 2014
"Without change there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable."- William Pollard
As this quote says, change is inevitable, and those who fight against it will have no say in just how that change affects the world around them. For gamers, or the gaming community, it has come to hold many interpretations over the course of just a few days, and has even called into the question the use of the term "gamer" altogether.

Entertainment Systems Vs. Gaming Consoles4 09 2014
E3 2014 is now behind us and thankfully it has left a much better taste in gamer's mouths than previous years. It was definitely a step up, mostly due to the focus that was laid on actual games. This has not been the case over the past couple of years, specifically during the final years of the most recent console generation and the inauguration of this one. Of course, I am talking about the current rise of the PS4, Xbox One, and yes, even the Wii U. Read the rest of this entry »

The Walking Dead Episode 2 Review12 07 2012
The first episode of Telltale's The Walking Dead shot a jolt of energy back into adventure games. Episode 2, Starved for Help, continues the story that A New Day started a couple of months ago. While this is a continuation of Telltale's story, we see just enough of a shift in certain gameplay mechanics to give gamers a different type of experience. More action and fewer puzzles drive the gameplay, and the story elevates the plight of the characters to a much more terrifying level. Read the rest of this entry »

Multiple-Purpose Multiple Purpose by Rebecca Martin-Meissner seascape, year 1 (above) and year 2. a t the end of the school year, I often search for inspiring ways to review, activities for students who are finished early and new ways to display my students' creativity. My students can always use more practice with both vocabular y and expanding their ideas and visual details; however, the end of the year also finds my students tired from tests, reviews and assignments. Ideas often have to be out of the box and feel more like play than work. One answer came in the form of a collaged mural of different types of subject matter. Each week, I put up a new piece of bulletin-board paper with the name of the subject matter written above it, including cityscape, landscape, still life and seascape. Students were invited to add details to the picture using scrap paper. This allowed for different levels and classes to make an everdeveloping artwork. The changing nature of the pictures created a constant interest among the students in seeing the progress of the picture. New details would often prompt students to ask the identity and level of the artist. Students were often amazed by what different levels of students could do—especially if it was revealed that the artist in question was younger than the questioner. This resulted in students pushing themselves even further to add things that had not been previously thought of, or use a new technique in creating with paper. I've done this activity two different years. In the first year, only the upper grades worked on the mural. The paper was Landscape, year 1 (above) and year 2. always blank at first. I noticed the pictures became very busy with little variety of details, or the scrap paper I had was not big enough to add objects in the desired size. The second time, I started by adding the basic details of the picture, such as foreground, middle ground and background shapes for a landscape, or cutting various sizes and colors of rectangles for a cityscape. I also opened the activity up to all levels. I created the rule that each artist could only add one thing to the mural per day. These choices pushed students june 2013 • 80 years 20 x www.ar tsandactivities.com

Mosaic Middle Students to Watch River North Chicago Dance Company
Dance students from the Mosaic School will watch a performance by the Chicago River North Dance Company on March 2. The dance company will be at Kohler Memorial Theatre as part of the Kohler Foundation's Distinguished Guest Series. "The opportunity to view dance performed live, especially by such a well-known company, is indeed a memorable experience that I am thrilled to have my students partake in," said Mosaic dance teacher Rayna Rokicki. "Dance doesn't translate well to video. In order to really feel the piece and connect with the performers, one must experience a dance performance in person. I am grateful to the Kohler Foundation for bringing this company to town and allowing my students this opportunity."
