Without obtaining permission from Congress and despite repeatedly vowing not to put U.S. boots on the ground in Mali, the Obama administration has already deployed a small contingent of American troops to help international forces prop up the ruling regime in the capital city of Bamako, which seized power in a coup.
According to a report in the Washington Post, the president sent the U.S. soldiers to provide supposed "liaison support" to French and African troops battling separatist rebels in the north as part of a deeply controversial United Nations-backed operation. There are strong indications that American Special Forces are on the ground as well.
In addition to other forms of support such as transporting troops, intelligence sharing, re-fueling assistance, and more, Obama has reportedly deployed some two dozen U.S. soldiers to Mali. Of those, about 10 are providing what the Post called "liaison support," while the others were apparently assigned to protect the American embassy in Bamako as the Malian conflict continues to rage on.
Lt. Col. Robert Firman, a spokesman for the Pentagon, claimed the U.S. troops were not engaged in combat operations. However, those claims are in doubt as well. The Post and other publications reported on evidence that U.S. Special Operations forces have been deployed on secret missions for some time.
One of the indicators: a "mysterious" car crash in Bamako that killed three American soldiers last year. The subject of secret operations has also come up in congressional hearings, with a congressman asking U.S. Special Operations Command chief Adm. William McRaven whether his forces were coordinating with French troops to avoid "shooting each other."
Adm. McRaven responded: "There is very close coordination on the ground."
The news that U.S. troops are on the ground comes in stark contrast to various statements issued by top administration officials in recent months. As The New American reported in January shortly after the Socialist French government invaded Mali with UN support, for example, then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said there was "no consideration of putting any American boots on the ground at this time."
A month later, then-Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson — the top diplomat for Africa — offered similar remarks in front of a House Committee. "We are assisting the French and we are assisting the Africans, but we have no intentions of putting boots on the ground or engaging our forces militarily there," he claimed.

Jay and Marc are two bitter Knicks fans who talk everything NBA including games, rumors, transactions, fantasy basketball, and random thoughts that may or may not even relate to basketball.
One thought on "About"
Here are some reasons carmelo hesitated at half court during wizards game.
-He thought a timeout was called.
-He was expecting a timeout to be called.
-He thought about passing to Andrea Bargnani and had to slow down to safely breathe through his laughter.
-He thought about passing to Beno Udrih, slowed down to let him catch up but realized he wouldn't reach the 3-point line until early Tuesday morning.
-He remembered Chris Smith is taking up a roster spot while the team has Udrih as its only healthy point guard.
-Jabari Parker, yo.
-He loves seeing Knicks bloggers on twitter following a tough loss.
-He figured out who the mole in the front office is.
-Burying the team's record lower and lower makes the eventual championship run that much more memorable.

An Afghan woman stands to receive winter supplies at a UNHCR... News PhotoAdult,Afghanistan,Burka,Delivering,Dependency,Embroidery,Horizontal,Human Interest,Illustration,Illustration Technique,Kabul,People,Receiving,Refugee,Religious Dress,Snow,UNHCR,Winter,WomenPhotographer SHAH MARAICollection: AFP 2013 AFPAn Afghan woman stands to receive winter supplies at a UNHCR distribution centre for needy refugees at the Women's Garden in Kabul on January 2, 2013. Hundreds of families living in makeshift shelters around the Afghan capital Kabul collected blankets, charcoal and other supplies on January 2 as authorities struggle to avoid last year's deadly winter toll. With temperatures dropping to -10 Celsius (14 Fahrenheit) at night in the city, the 35,000 refugees who live in the snow-covered camps face a battle to survive dire conditions protected only by plastic sheeting. Despite Afghanistan receiving billions of dollars of aid since 2001, more than 100 children died last year during the harshest winter in two decades, and the UN refugee agency has co-ordinated efforts to avoid repeat fatalities.

ripstop iPad covers
Community Voted
- the story
When you have technology as advanced as an iPad tablet, it's a bright idea to protect them against scratches. And what could be brighter than these vibrant, rip-stop nylon sleeves! Inside each is a lining of soft fleece, and an amply sized cover flap with a Velcro closure.
The durable nylon is the same kind of material that is used in hot air balloons, kites and tents, but at the end of a roll there is always fabric too small for the manufacturer to use. It's that unused fabric that is being rescued and upcycled for these pouches, giving new life to formerly wasted resources. Made in Longmont, Colorado. Fabric sourced from USA.
Exclusively at UncommonGoods.

When you see hot hair balloons floating by, way up in the sky, or kites flying gracefully in the wind, you probably don't think of your iPad. But this clever design actually uses the same fabric those balloons and kites are made of! (Check out the product story to learn more.) We love the bright colors and the sleek look. The soft fleece lining is also a nice touch. What do you love about these Ripstop sleeves?
Vote: Thumbs up!
Love it.
Vote: Thumbs up!
Like it, but price will make the final determination.
Vote: Thumbs up!
fun idea for an ipad
Vote: Thumbs down!
I would want a material that is much sturdier to protect a piece of technology such as an ipad etc..
Vote: Thumbs up!
But what about the static electricity generated by the fleece and the nylon. Ouch.
Vote: Thumbs down!
I feel like the market has been inundated with choices of iPad cases. How many does each person use?...
Vote: Thumbs down!
Meh. Already better covers out there that also have a built in stand and seem more sturdy than this.
Vote: Thumbs down!
Too many iPad cases/covers/etc. out there. How about covers for other tablets, like the Kindle or Nook?
Vote: Thumbs down!
From the orange velcro on the pink sample, to the overall "cheap" look - not worth it at any price.
Vote: Thumbs up!
Great for teenagers. Only concern is for actual iPad protection (not just covering).
Vote: Thumbs up!
I liked to see more colors offered.
Vote: Thumbs up!
Upcycled! Yay!
Vote: Thumbs up!
It looks like it would keep it waterproof as well.
Vote: Thumbs down!
Material looks flimsy, not sturdy enough to protect something that expensive
Vote: Thumbs down!
With so many creative and fun options for an Ipad, I wouldn't pick such a bland design.
Vote: Thumbs down!
doesn't look sturdy enough to protect and expensive iPad tablet. Too many already on the market. BUT I do like that its upcycled material from hot air balloons, kites
Vote: Thumbs up!
if i could afford an ipad,i would definitely want this!!
Vote: Thumbs down!
It's like a hideous track suit for your iPad. I like the idea of it being up cycled but those colors/fabrics are not for me.
Vote: Thumbs down!
If I was to buy protection for an iPad, I would want it to be padded.
i like it ,should sell
My husband would LOVE this Washable also

Wonder why they decided on the ATRs vs. the Bombardier aircraft (i.e. the Q-400)? Just curious.
Commonality I guess as they already had a couple.
I don't know about the the commonality aspect, suspect you have a better handle on that than I, but if that were not the case, my bet would be on cost delta. Bombardier is not exactly known as the low cost airframer.
I'm just guessing. They had 2 other ATR's according to the story but cost could be a big player too. Who knows
Acquisition Costs?
Just my guess.
Not just a guess anymore, Wiki says Q400=27 mln. and ATR72=22.1 mln.
correct again lol!

CANTON - Former St. Lawrence Central standout Cody Kilcoyne will be returning to the North Country this afternoon as a leading contributor for the Adrian College mens lacrosse team as the Bulldogs take on St. Lawrence University in a Division III non-league game at Hall-Leet Field starting at 4 p.m.
A junior attackman, Kilcoyne has already generated seven goals and two assists in helping to lead the Bulldogs to a 2-0 start to the 2013 season. He has been named the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Offensive Player for the second straight week after scoring five goals on five shots in a 13-10 win over Aurora, Ill., last week. He also recorded five groundballs and caused a pair of turnovers as the Bulldogs set their sights on defending their MIAA regular season and playoff championships.
Kilcoyne, who began his collegiate career at Clarkson University, transferred to Adrian after his freshman season and made an immediate impact last spring, finishing as the fifth leading scorer on the team with 26 goals and 20 assists for 46 points as a sophomore.
The coaching staffs for both squads in this afternoons contest also have strong North Country ties. SLU head coach Mike Mahoney, who took over the position in 1997, and assistant coach Kyle Benton are also St. Lawrence Central products who went on to star for the Saints mens hockey program before settling into successful coaching roles. Adrian head coach Don LaSala and his younger brother, Henry, who serves as assistant coach, are Canton products. Don LaSala was named head coach in July of 2011 after having served as an assistant for the Clarkson mens lacrosse program.

Rookie midfielder from UNC, Kirk Urso, talks with TheCrew.com about signing his first professional contract, his time training with Bolton and a possible bet with teammate and Duke alum Cole Grossman on the UC/Duke game.

Milovan Mirosevic concedió una entrevista a Radio El Sol, una radio local en Charleston, para hablar de la Carolina Challenge Cup y como está aclimatandose a Columbus
My first impression putting on the Black and Gold top was pure joy. I had dreamed of the day of putting on a pro shirt and playing on the same field as the best in the league. I knew a brief history of the Crew before I was drafted here. Once I googled it and read all the literature I could find, I realized I was part of a team with some the richest history in the league. I mean, the Crew drafted the legend that is Brian McBride in the first draft and now 16 years later they drafted me. It's truly an honor to put on that jersey and have that crest over your heart.
The first couple days were fun because everyone was so nice and I was playing with veterans like Eddie Gaven and Chad Marshall. The guys were great players and even better men. They all welcomed the rookies with the usual practical jokes and initiation stuff, as Danny O' Rourke likes to call it. The first game that we play is usually 5v2 and it always gets pretty competitive. Gaven is trying to meg everyone, Bernardo is doing tricky sole passes, and the rookies are just trying to stay out of the middle. I enjoyed my first two weeks in Columbus. The trainings were great, different from college in that they require a high tempo for a majority of the time. I like experiencing a new style of coaching and I have really enjoyed the practice layouts and competitive nature. I mean no one wants to lose at crossing and finishing. Because if you do, you will find yourself on the goal line for butts-up. Not a fun game to be on the goal line for, trust me.
Florida has been a great change of pace. Love getting on the grass, and being with the guys all day, every day is the best way to get to know each other. After a couple days of Fifa with Kirk Urso, Justin Meram and Cole Grossman, we have yet to see a clear champion. I would say at the halfway point, Justin and I are at the top, but Grossman did recently beat me and I have yet to get a rematch. Justin is the guy to beat as of now, I would say. I also have been introduced to a new board game called Settlers of Catan. It's amazing and requires some real knowledge and wit. Gaven and Andy G introduced Kirk and I to the game. It's all about strategy and having the hot hand with the dice. If you haven't played, its time. The training down here has been great, though. (New strength & conditioning coach) Brook (Hamilton) has been pushing the fitness level in practice and the team has responded well. We had an intra-squad (scrimmage) yesterday and I had good match. Played out wide on the right and got an idea of the movements and ways to find the game in a wide area. It was challenging but I am excited to learn the position from a guy like Eddie Gaven. My goal this season is try to emulate how he finds himself in dangerous positions as a wide midfielder and add that into my already developing game. We have a big match versus Malmo on Wednesday and I expect us to not only get a result, but improve on our game from yesterday.

Viewers respond about signs slamming Lee Co. Sheriff
FORT MYERS - As you drive around Lee County, you may have noticed signs like these, slamming Sheriff Mike Scott.
They accuse him of being corrupt, condoning abuse, lies, and racism.
These signs, however, have had a short life span, with twenty of them already removed throughout Lee County.
"This has nothing to do with politics. One could speculate that it's political in nature, but these are libelous, slanderous signs that beyond free speech are being posted illegally." Sheriff Mike Scott says.
They're illegal because they're on public property, like this utility pole considered in the public right of way.
Supervisor of Elections Sharon Harrington says what a person puts on a sign is freedom of speech.
"Where they put 'em, it might be in violation of the code enforcement department. But they can pretty much put up what they want."
But FOX 4 wanted to know what you think. Should these opinionated signs be removed? Reaction is mixed.
Charles, Lehigh:
"I think they should leave the signs about Mike Scott up."
Kenny, Ft. Myers:
"I think those signs need to come down. Regardless of what they say they're illegal when they're posted on telephone poles like that."

During a Republican primary campaign rally at the University of Michigan in October, 2007, Rep. Ron Paul was greeted by supporters who began shouting "End the Fed, end the Fed," as he began talking about monetary policy.
The cry resonated, and soon the whole crowd had taken up the cheer and some were holding burning dollar bills as if sending a message to the central bank. Almost a year later, at Paul's counterconvention in Minneapolis, 12,000 people started the chant before Paul even mentioned the Federal Reserve. With that, the title for Paul's latest book, End the Fed, was written.
Paul is an 11-term congressman from Texas, and a sound monetary policy has been one of his major policy aims. He currently has a bill before Congress that would lead to an audit of the Federal Reserve. The bill has 317 co-sponsors in the 435-member House of Representatives.
The response of his supporters during his campaign and the subsequent support of his fellow members of Congress have encouraged Paul that Americans are beginning to understand the devastating effects the Federal Reserve has had on America's economy.
End the Fed begins with Paul laying out the argument for why people should care about and question the basis for the Federal Reserve. He writes:
"…the Fed has one power that is unique to it alone: it enables the creation of money out of thin air. Sometimes it makes vast new amounts. Sometimes it makes lesser amounts. The money takes a variety of forms and enters the system in various ways. And the Fed does this through techniques such as open-market operations, changing reserve ratios, and manipulating interest rates, operations that all result in money creation.
"Given that money is one half of every commercial transaction and that whole civilizations literally rise and fall based on the quality of their money, we are talking about an awesome power, one that flies under cover of night. It is the power to weave illusions that appear real as long as they last. That is the very core of the Fed's power."
Paul writes that some like the illusion and just want to get back to the time when everything was good. But those "good times" were a mirage—a creation of the appearance of wealth by the Fed.
The book gives a brief history lesson of the origins of the central bank in general in the United States, and the Federal Reserve in particular. The book is also partly autobiographical, as Paul describes boyhood lessons and influences that piqued his interest in money and monetary policy.
While it was formed under the idea that it would be able to protect the monetary and financial system against inflation and violent swings in market activity, the Fed has done just the opposite. Paul quoted a statement from the Comptroller of the Currency in 1914: "…under the operation of this law such financial and commercial crisis, or 'panics,' as the country experienced in 1873, in 1893, and again in 1907, with the attendant misfortunes and prostrations, seem to be mathematically impossible."
Yet Paul points out that the National Bureau of Economic Research says there were recessions in each of the following years in the 20th Century: 1918-1919, 1920-1921, 1923-1924, 1926-1927, 1929-1933, 1937-1938, 1945, 1948-1949, 1953-1954, 1957-1958, 1960-1961, 1969-1970, 1973-1975, 1980, 1981-1982, 1990-1991, 2001 and 2007, which is the current panic of which there is no end yet in sight.
And the Fed has devastated the purchasing power of the dollar, Paul writes. The goods and services you could buy in 1913 for $1 now cost nearly $21. Put another way, the 1913 dollar is now worth less than five cents. We might say the government has stolen 95 cents of every dollar, according to Paul.
Central banks such as the Federal Reserve, Paul writes, prove useful for governments wishing to fund wars. The elastic money supply of a system based on central banking allows governments to pay for their wars without worrying about where the money will come from. Without central banks, governments were forced to economize their resources and they often found diplomatic solutions to their disputes. If wars actually started, countries sought to end them as quickly as possible.
But for European governments in the late 19th Century, fiscal limits were removed because of central banks. Now, governments were free to print what they needed and governments were more willing to pick fights and pull the trigger.
"Might a diplomatic solution have been found for the struggles that led to World War I had the Germans and English not had recourse to the printing press and a lender of last resort?" Paul asks.
After laying historical groundwork of the devastation the Federal Reserve has caused to the American economy and about discussions he has had with Federal Reserve chairmen Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke, Paul begins making the case for abolition of the Fed.
He makes his arguments on philosophical, Constitutional, economic and libertarian grounds. He then explains the consequences and provides a roadmap for the way out of the mess.
End the Fed provides an excellent overview of the nature, origin and result of a central banking system and also opens the doors on Paul's fiscal views. Anyone interested in economics and monetary policy of the U.S. would benefit from reading this book.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Crude-oil futures settled higher Tuesday, topping $94 a barrel as Iran fed worries about global supplies, outweighing pressure from high U.S. inventory levels ahead of weekly supply updates.
Contributing to oil's gains, March consumer inflation in China came in below expectations, lifting prospects for energy demand, and the U.S. dollar weakened against the euro.
Crude oil for May delivery US:CLK3 climbed 84 cents, or 0.9%, to settle at $94.20 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That was the highest settlement since April 3.
A lack of clarity about an earthquake in Iran rattled the oil market, said Matt Smith, commodity analyst at Schneider Electric.
A magnitude-6.3 earthquake hit southern Iran on Tuesday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The market was worried that the earthquake could affect Iranian oil production, as the quake was within range of some of the country's production fields, said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group.
Separately Tuesday, the Associated Press reported that Iran announced two nuclear-related projects that expand the country's ability to extract and process uranium.
The two nuclear projects are "dimming hopes for a settlement of the ongoing issue with its nuclear program," said James Williams, energy economist at WTRG Economics.
Countries have imposed economic sanctions on the nation in protest against Iran's nuclear program and that's prompted worries about supplies from the country as well as the region as Iran has, in the past, threatened to block a key oil shipping route.
Ironically, the quake hit around 60 miles from Bushehr, home to Iran's first nuclear power plant, according to the AP, but the plant didn't suffer any damage.
On Monday, oil futures logged their first gain in four sessions. Supply concerns returned to the fore after Iran failed to reach a deal with global powers over its nuclear program and as militants in Nigeria claimed responsibility for an deadly attack against police officers. Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa.
A research report from Nomura on Tuesday said a "crescent of chaos" across the Middle East and tensions from a variety of those countries will continue to be a major driver of instability, encouraging "a perceived political risk premium on oil."
For the foreseeable future, though, they said the "big issue" around oil will be Iran. Other analysts noted that Brent crude prices are being supported by persistent concerns related to oil supply after the failure of Iran's talks with Western powers.
In London, May Brent crude UK:LCOK3 rallied $1.57, or 1.5%, to end at $106.23 a barrel on ICE Futures, extending Monday's 0.5% gain.
China data, dollar support
Also supporting oil was news that China's consumer price index rose 2.1% from a year earlier, a milder gain than the 2.4% projected in a Dow Jones Newswires survey. The result marked a considerable cooling from February's 3.2% rise.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Sites like Facebook and Twitter are leading to new health risks.
Denise Bryan, a personal health services supervisor at the Kent County Health Department says, "Social media creates the ability to meet people very quickly. It also creates this sense of intimacy, as if we know our Facebook or Twitter friends. If there is a hookup or sex enters the picture, a lot of times when I'm interviewing partners, they don't know very much about that person, where they live, what their last name is."
This, in turn, can lead to more cases of AIDS. That's why the Kent County Health Department is offering free testing this Saturday as part of "World AIDS Day". The latest tests only require one finger poke and take 15 minutes to get results.
Bryan says, "Testing is the gateway to prevention. I think a lot of people think it can't happen to them and we've had a busy year, a lot of positives."
The free testing will take place at Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids from 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. Patients can remain anonymous. You can also set up a free appointment anytime at the Kent County Health Department on Fuller Avenue.
Monday, December 3, 2012, KCHD is offering two additional opportunities to get tested:
Kent County Health Department - Free walk-in testing
700 Fuller NE, Grand Rapids - Testing is available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Grand Valley State University - World AIDS Day Event
DeVos Building, on the Pew Campus in Grand Rapids - Testing is scheduled from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m.

A shiatsu neck massager (similar to what a traditional Shiatsu therapist does) applies the kneading and gentle pressure massage around the shoulder and neck region.
How Does Neck Massagers Apply Pressure
It uses mechanical thumb to apply pressure to relieve stress. As the word 'Shiatsu' implies – it is a finger pressure massage which uses the Japanese acupressure technique.
What makes this neck massager practical is – it can be used whenever you wish to relax and detress yourself from a hard day at home or work … during the day or night.
And the best part is, a neck massager can provide immediate relief from the soreness or tension (more at www.bestmassagechairreviews.net) in the neck and shoulders. As well, unlike the human touch, it cannot get tired or bored.
Hence you can enjoy a massage as long as you like, and without paying a hefty fee for as massage therapist.
A typical shiatsu neck massager is like a 'U shaped cushion' or 'pillow style cushion' which fits snugly around your neck which uses the massage (and in some products in tandem with heat) to treat the areas.
The massager itself uses a range of motions, from kneading action to rolling in order to apply pressure around your neck and shoulders.
Depending on the type of model you purchase, some shaitsu neck massagers offers rubber grips for easy positioning on other limbs like the leg or arm.
As well, if you are the type of person who doesn't enjoy a soft massage, you will be able to adjust the settings or level of pressure, from soft to hard – and vice versa.
But for most, it is the soothing pressure around the neck and shoulders – it gets to the underlying muscles and tension which provides relief from the aches and pains.
Benefits of a Shiatsu Neck Massager
Aside from the obvious relaxation and detressing pleasures, a shiatsu neck massager can offer therapeutic values like treating a stiff neck or tight shoulders, anxiety fears and headaches.
Sidenote – The concept of Shiatsu is to get your Chi (internal body energy) running smoothly, which runs along channels called the meridian.
And if your chi is blocked or misdirected, physical problems or stiffness can result. Therefore, by focusing on certain points of pressure, a Shiatsu Neck Massager can bring instant relief.
Whether you suffer from tension or soreness, a shiatsu neck massager is a great alternative to a traditional shaitsu master, or phyio therpist.
It can offer instat relief and best of all, relaxation from your busy lifestyle!

Tue, 19 Nov 2013 11:10:38 -0800
Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said WR Joshua Morgan, who was inactive in favor of WR Nick X. Williams as a punt returner in Week 11, could return to the starting lineup if WR Leonard Hankerson (knee) needs surgery to fix a torn lateral collateral ligament in his knee. "I've got a lot of belief in Josh Morgan," Shanahan said. "I have a lot of confidence in Josh that he'll come back strong and help us this week as a receiver. But I explained to him what he needs to do in both special teams and wide receiver to get to a level that I think he can get to. I think he has the ability to be a Pro Bowl player and I want to get that out of him." Williams muffed a punt and failed to field another against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fantasy Tip: Morgan would be, at best, a flex player in deeper leagues if Hankerson is out for extended time.

|Redskins | Nick Williams uncertain for Week 11
Fri, 15 Nov 2013 20:04:57 -0800
Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said Friday, Nov. 15, that he was uncertain if WR Nick X. Williams would be active in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. If he plays, he is likely to get a look in the return game. "He had a good week," Shanahan said. "Practiced well, both in the return phase and as a receiver. I was pleased with the way he practiced."

"I know that they say that you aren't given anymore than you can handle, but right now I think I'm at my limit. After losing Noah less than four months ago and now losing my best friend, soul mate and love of my life I'm so grateful for my three boys who I love so much, who give me strength to keep going and look ahead to the day when we will be together with Noah and Aaron again. All I can think of is them hugging and talking and running and even side stepping together. Oh how wonderful their reunion must've been. I love you Aaron and I wish you were here just for one more day, to let you know just how much."
After sharing her heartache on my facebook page several people have contacted me offering to donate to help the King family. As a blogger I have seen incredible love and kindness shown towards those who are in need and who are suffering great loss and heart ache. After pondering this I have decided to set up a separate bank account for the King Family and would appreciate any donation that you can contribute to them at this time.
I know the journey Lisa and her three boys have ahead of her is not going to be easy and that what we will be able to raise will be a small comfort to them, but I am hoping that it may ease the burden in some small way to bring some additional happiness to them in this time of heartache and trial.
What I would love to do is to help raise funds for them to get through the next month. To help pay for groceries and expenses to ease the burden Lisa will face of providing for her family as a single mum. Having only recently finished paying for Noah's funeral, I would love to help raise enough funds to pay for a headstone for Noah, (he currently does not have one) and to cover the cost of having to pay for her husband Aaron's funeral. These expenses will be a big burden on Lisa when she is dealing with the shock and loss of her wonderful family members.
Suncorp Bank
If you would prefer to send something in the mail a PO Box has been set up to receive donations:
Launceston, TASMANIA, 7250
Some people have requested using Paypal as an option.
I have tried setting up a donations tab but as I am not a registered charity I am unable to.
I have instead set up a fundraising page for donations that will pay directly into the bank account set up.
This way I can avoid paypal and the crazy fees.

Genre: Scrolling shoot 'em up
Group DescriptionThe genre commonly referred to as "shoot 'em up" (often abbreviated to shmup) has originated with the fixed-screen top-down shooter Space Invaders (1978). This group, however, includes only scrolling (horizontally, vertically, in an isometric or 3D fashion) shooters. In these games, the player controls a character (most commonly an aircraft) that must defend itself against large amounts of enemies by shooting at them. This style of game is generally agreed to have originated with Konami's Scramble (1981) and Namco's Xevious (1982). The player is able to control the character's movement in at least two (more commonly four) directions; however, the forward motion is also determined by the speed of the scrolling. Besides shooting at enemies, the player is also commonly engaged in collecting power-ups, which typically enhance the character's weapons or defense.
In order to be included in this group, the shooter should answer the two main conditions: scrolling environments and free movement in at least two directions: vertical in side-scrolling games, horizontal in top-down ones. This means that fixed-screen shoot-'em-ups, chase-view shooters, and rail shooters should not be included in this group. Side-scrolling shooters in which the playable character is restricted in his movements (i.e. is unable to sustain himself in the air for a prolonged period of time, having to jump over obstacles or platforms to proceed, etc.) should be excluded as well.

OGDENSBURG Amvets Post 19 Auxiliary is keeping soldiers returning from duty warm in their barracks at Fort Drum through its Bedding for Our Soldiers Project.
The project began in August, when auxiliary members were looking for ways to help returning soldiers.
They must purchase their own sheets, pillows and blankets now, project chairwoman and auxiliary secretary Linda A.M. Hurteau said Friday. But when they come out of basic training, the last thing theyre thinking about is getting bedding.
The auxiliary has since donated more than $2,500 worth of bedding and helped well over 200 soldiers, Mrs. Hurteau said.
Weve covered a lot of beds, but I like to say weve covered a lot of soldiers, she said.
Auxiliary members have received numerous thank-you notes from soldiers, Mrs. Hurteau said.
Some of them were using their clothes and covering themselves with their shirts, she said. They were very thankful to get them.
The bedding is purchased in bulk from Walmart. For $250, the auxiliary can purchase a set of sheets, a blanket and a pillow for 20 soldiers.
The group also accepts used bedding.
We will wash it and tie it with a ribbon for you, Mrs. Hurteau said.
Amvets Post 19 members recently raised and donated $400 to the Colton Amvets Auxiliary to purchase bedding for its adopted troop.
Auxiliary members said they have made this a continuing project and will be purchasing many more items for soldiers in the future.
Well keep it going until there is no longer a need, Mrs. Hurteau said.
Caring for veterans and soldiers is the mission of the Amvets Post 19 Ladies Auxiliary, Mrs. Hurteau said.
Donations are accepted at the post, 215 Ford St., Ogdensburg, N.Y. 13669, or to Mrs. Hurteau at 605 Albany Ave., Ogdensburg.

New Zealand v England: Peter Fulton hits maiden Test century
Third Test, Auckland (close, day one):
New Zealand 250-1
Peter Fulton made a maiden Test century as New Zealand dominated England after being asked to bat in the final Test.
England opted to bowl on an Eden Park pitch that looked like it might offer some pace and bounce early on.
To bowl or not to bowl?
Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott: "I don't know why you would want to field first, possibly for two days, before you have a bat. There was nothing in the pitch, there has been no reverse swing and no spin for Monty."
Former England captain Michael Vaughan: "I would have done the same as Alastair Cook at the toss earlier, but the fact is I'd have been wrong as well."
Former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney: "I'm loathe to blame Alastair Cook for putting New Zealand into bat first. All the signs were there that the pitch would assist the fast bowlers. However, it hasn't turned out that way."
But the wicket had little life in it and Fulton, playing his 13th Test at the age of 34, hit an unbeaten 124 and Kane Williamson 83 in the hosts' 250-1.
Steven Finn dismissed Hamish Rutherford (37) to record England's only success on a challenging first day in Auckland.
With the third Test set up as a series decider following rain-affected draws on flat pitches in Dunedin and Wellington, England captain Alastair Cook hoped the wicket would provide his bowlers with a better chance of taking 20 wickets.
Opposing captain Brendon McCullum admitted he would also have bowled first but the pitch, dropped into the square for this match, proved to be perfect for batting despite there being tinges of green on the surface.
England's pace attack was blunted, while Monty Panesar was unable to extract any noticeable turn with his left-arm spin.
Fulton, who made his Test debut in 2006 and had a previous highest score of 75, was recalled for this series after an absence of 39 months and with an average in the low 20s.
He added 79 for the opening wicket with Rutherford and then 171 with Williamson to help the hosts punish the world's second-ranked side.
Day one analysis
"England looked like a side feeling sorry for themselves in the last hour. They just needed a breakthrough. Full credit to New Zealand for how they have played throughout the whole series. They have surprised me. New Zealand in the three matches have looked equal to England. To bat through the whole day and only lose one wicket deserves huge credit. Fulton deserved his first Test century and Williamson looks a class act."
Nicknamed 'Two-Metre Peter' because of his height, Fulton became only the second New Zealander, after Zin Harris in South Africa in 1962, to score a maiden century after turning 34.
Fulton had a life on 16 when a James Anderson delivery flew off the edge of his bat and narrowly avoided the slip fielders before running away to the boundary.
The 6ft 6in opener made another mistake going after a Stuart Broad delivery a few overs later but the short boundaries at Eden Park, which is normally used for rugby, meant the ball flew over the rope for six.
Rutherford smashed two sixes off Panesar, but came undone on 37 while trying to do the same to Finn and was caught by Cook at first slip in the penultimate over before lunch.
Fulton grew in confidence after the interval and surpassed his previous Test-best with a leg-side sequence of 4-4-6 in one Panesar over.
Fulton's maiden century
"Peter Fulton's first Test century came in 203 balls, with 14 fours and three sixes. He made his debut in 2006 and it's a lucky 13 - it's his 13th Test and his 13th first-class century. Also, it's only the second time in 28 series where two of New Zealand's opening batsmen have made centuries."
With Williamson batting with complete control and England failing to create a noteworthy chance, the duo moved the score along to 173-1 at tea.
After being on 99 for nine balls, Fulton brought up his three figures early in the last session, having faced 203 deliveries, and the opener continued to frustrate England's labouring pace attack after the new ball was taken in the final hour.
England's body language looked poor as they grew increasingly deflated and unable to change the course of the match.
Williamson, 22, made his second successive half century, and was closing in on a flawless fourth Test ton at the close of play.

Close of Play after a fantastic and intriguing days cricket. New Zealand started on 250-1 and England did superbly in removing them for 443, and and New Zealand have got out Cook and Trott as England close on 50-2.
We have only had 2 days play gentlemen and this is going to be a thrilling end to the series.
Well done to both teams for providing us with a great game of Test Match Cricket.

Anyone else find it amusing that these 2 indian posters feel the need to come onto a New Zealand v England test match cricket thread and chat about India?
I am not sure I need to say more really.
Comment number 235. Posted by Maksion 23 Mar 2013 03:55
Chakra, I won't have your comment removed. I will leave it there so all can see what kind of person your are.
BOB, you are sounding like a childish 16 year old indian boy now. The facct that New Zealand are ranked 8th does not interest me. All I know is that they are a much better cricket team than India, so the rankings are irrelevant.
England on the attack now, scoring quickly.
Comment number 234. Posted by BaggiosPonytailon 23 Mar 2013 01:40
England have played well so far on the second day to make it pretty even. Need to limit New Zealand to 400 or less and then not lose more than a couple of wickets by close of play.
Comment number 233. Posted by JamesClerkMaxwellon 23 Mar 2013 00:18
Kiwis should be looking for at least 150-170 more runs. I'd say McCullum and his partner need to stay at the crease and build a partnership, bat through the day.
If they can bat through the end of the day, they'll be in a position to put pressure on with the ball - and always have the insurance of playing for the draw - but be in a better position to win the Test mach.

Maksi calm your arrogant attitude. England are not doing so hot against a #8 ranked team :D
Comment number 231. Posted by 3LionsnChakraon 22 Mar 2013 23:16
Maksi go and hide somewhere your team has shamed you. England can't beat a Number 8 ranked team and claim to be one of the best test teams rubbish!. Look what we did to the Ozzies 4 NIL on the cards you silly CANT.
Comment number 230. Posted by Mikeon 22 Mar 2013 22:48
Test cricket played at a football ground , Odi ok for plenty of runs . England doing ok keeping the run rate down on a tiny groud
Comment number 229. Posted by Maksion 22 Mar 2013 22:47
Third wicket gone now, and England might yet bowl the kiwis out for 400, and then spend the next 2 days making 600 and then you know what might happen on the last day. If it doesn't rain again that is :)))
Chakra, we have battered India home and away so wind your neck in child.
This thread isn't about your dead wood.
Comment number 228. Posted by 3LionsnChakraon 22 Mar 2013 22:44
English Fans there is no point moaning about the pitch, I am sorry had it been the Ozzies of 5 years ago, I bet they would have produced a result in every game. World's best teams generally win in every condition. Anderson is just toothless when the ball doesn't swing, If the current Indian plays the English team now they would clean sweep 4-0 no issues, after getting rid of all the dead wood.
Comment number 227. Posted by Maksion 22 Mar 2013 22:14
BOB you little 16 year old indian schoolboy. Most fans on here are English and don't care. We have recently wiped the floor with both India and Australia both HOME and AWAY. Candy off a baby.
Now we have moved on and are enjoying a nice competitve match against New Zealand who have more back bone in their little toe than the Indians showed in their whole body recently, in India.
Comment number 226. Posted by BOBon 22 Mar 2013 22:06
Any ideas on how Australia can avoid whitewash. There are NONE haha the Aussies are toast.
Comment number 225. Posted by Maksion 22 Mar 2013 21:56
Lovely delivery Jimmy and the early break through arrives. Now come on England, blitz this weak team and get on top of them, we can still stuff this lot :))

ZOZZA.. AMEN! Aggers very much on the money!
Comment number 223. Posted by BOBon 22 Mar 2013 21:06
well the fact that Fulton was inactive in test cricket explains why it took so long for him to get his first century. Oliver my answer to your question is also no and i will assume you are a England's fan so good luck because that second day starts soon.
Comment number 222. Posted by Zozzaon 22 Mar 2013 21:04
Do you Poms realise how much you are sounding like pathetic little whingey school girls? I include Boycs in that. Then I read Aggers report on day one and finally an English journalist that gave England a mild tongue lashing for their attitude. Aggers you have gone up in my estimation.
NZ are not going to roll over like obedient little colonials just to make you lot all feel good for the Ashes!
Comment number 221. Posted by UKKiwi01on 22 Mar 2013 20:39
BOB 215, prior to this series Fulton hadn't played a test in 4 years and the fact he's gone back improved his game and is now scoring runs makes the past irrelevant and I would say he's now proving (albeit very late in his career) that he is indeed a very good player.
Comment number 220. Posted by Lindenon 22 Mar 2013 20:38
The comments stating what would SA do to NZ in the same conditions make me laugh...such a lack of cricket knowledge, SA toured NZ same time 2012 and only won 3 match series 1-0, again rain affected I seem to remember!
Comment number 219. Posted by Rene Artoison 22 Mar 2013 20:38
To answer your first question, I've made no test centuries.
Nor am I a New Zealand fan. I do however hold an admiration for a player who was selected at a young age, was dropped from the international scene, but has taken what could have been last chance late on in his career. He's just shown everyone that he can play a part at this level. Surely not the time to be slagging him off.
Comment number 218. Posted by BOBon 22 Mar 2013 20:25
Oliver let me ask you the same question wise guy? what are you a New Zealand fan??? If so than feel lucky

Colette was there to greet us with a very warm welcome and could not have been more hospitable. The space was comfortable, clean and very much as expected from the photos on Airbnb.
The location is outstanding and being able to enjoy this beautiful place was every bit as delightful as we hoped.
Colette cooked us a delicious meal one of the evenings and we enjoyed good conversation together. We were also left quietly to ourselves to swim in the perfect pool and just laze about.
Highly recommend.
Collettes property was beautiful. It felt like we were living among the locals. The room was exactly what we expected. My only regret was that we didn't get to try any of Colettes cooking! She was a very wonderful host and nice to talk to. Highly recommend staying here and enjoying the pool, the deck and the view!
Colettes house is magnificent and the view and the pool and the deck around the pool too. Just as Colette!
We had such a lovely stay with her and she cooked for us and cared for us so well, we felt like princesses! ❤
An excellent place to stay that is close to Dominical, yet far enough away to leave the crowd behind. The view is spectacular. The pool was nice to go for a dip, have a drink and watch the sunset. Viewing the night sky from the deck was amazing. The house is cool, wish I had one just like it. The appealing Central American artwork is everywhere (some of it for sale, better value than any nearby artshop). The grounds were well kept and seemed very safe. Colette is a great host and has great culinary skills. The pineapple upside down cake, fresh tuna and arugula with a good bottle of wine really set the table well, for an enjoyable dinner and ambiance. I would highly recommend staying here for 1 or 2 people per room. I will return.
We stayed at Colette's amazing oceanview home our first 3 days in Costa Rica. After driving from the Alajuela airport we arrived at dusk, she showed us our room, and invited us to take a swim in her beautiful pool! She then made the most delicious birthday dinner for me! A bonus was the homemade birthday cake! Colette is a fantastic cook and sits down with her guests to eat with you and visit. Her house is so beautiful with a full screened in wooden deck upstairs where we had two dinners (her private quarters). 180 degree oceanview! She has beautiful artwork all over and is very talented.
Our room was clean, shower great, and bed comfortable. We had our own small refridgerator, microwave, and place to make coffee and tea next to our room. Also a covered patio in front of our room to relax in the shade or we could go down to the pool and relax in the sun. The first morning we woke up we saw a blue morpho butterfly by the edge of the back hill.
The road leading to Colette's is very steep and bumpy (like many Costa Rican roads up a mountain), so a 4WD is best like we had, but a car with some power and good clearance would do. The adventure of driving on the Costa Rican roads was quite fun once you get used to it!
The little town of Hatillo is quaint that you'll pass by on your way up the mountain. It has an expat's bar in town and little store, but we did not visit either. We ate at Por Que No one of the nights near Dominical (highly recommend). Nice oceanview next to the waves and rocks. Hacienda Baru Reserve is very close and a nice easy hike, but recommend going very early as it gets hot near the beach. We saw a toucan, 2 caiman in a little river, iguana, geckos, spiders, and butterflys.
Colette helped us make a horsebackriding reservation at the Nayauca Falls. The scenery on the ride was incredible, the falls and swim amazing, and the small breakfast there and lunch back wonderful! We even saw two macaws and two white faced monkeys next to our lunch place!
Colette borrowed us her Costa Rican bird and animal book so we could learn about the creatures we saw. She also was very available to help us with suggestions on where to go nearby.
Colette has a small sweet well mannered dog named Coquette we enjoyed saying hello to every day.
We had a great time at Colette's and would recommend a stay there for at least a few days if possible!
The oceanview, swimming pool, and landscaping is gorgeous!
Thanks so much for everything and sharing your beautiful home with us Colette! We will always remember our favorite vacation of all time!
The room is clean, functional, and there's plenty of space. Colette was very hospitable. The pool and the view is amazing. A perfect place for a night dip before bed. I would highly recommend!
Colette is a very friendly host. Her place is beautifully located. You can see the ocean and jungle from the room/backyard. The pool is a nice extra! The drive up to her place is very steep but totally fine, it's paved.

MUSKEGON, Mich. (WZZM) -- Tony Tague has been working as a prosecutor for 30 years -- and all but two of them in Muskegon County -- but at the end of 2012, he's giving up that part of his career.
Tague decided earlier this year not to run for reelection as Muskegon County Prosecutor, an office he was first elected to in 1988.
From his office at the county's Hall of Justice, Tague can look across the city of Muskegon. Now, he's looking back on three decades serving this community.
"On difficult days I can look over and see public service as a privilege," he says. "It is humbling that voters would elect me six times."
Tague's has dealt with almost every crime imaginable during his time as the county's top prosecutor -- from simple breaking-and-entering cases to more than 200 homicides. In fact, when he drives around the county he can vividly remember all of the gruesome crime scenes he's visited.
"That makes your realize the tremendous responsibility that is put on you as a prosecutor," he says.
Tague is the son of a Grand Haven police officer. His career as a prosecutor started 30 years ago in New York City, where he worked for the Manhattan district attorney. In 1984, he returned to the lakeshore, taking a job in Muskegon County. He was first elected county prosecutor in 1988.
"I hit almost the entire county going door to door," he remembers.
After taking office, he began using local television as a way to connect county residents to the decisions he made.
"Being elected over and over, I think people appreciated knowing what is going on downtown," he says.
Tague has also learned how to connect with witnesses to crimes -- especially the younger ones. He gives stuffed animals to young children who must give statements or testify in court cases.
"On the cape, it says, 'I am a courtroom tiger with Tony Tague'," he says, holding up one of the stuffed toys.
Tague says his decisions have always been based on two key criteria -- "Doing what in my opinion what was best for victim and best for community."
The prosecutor says he still loves the job, but is ready to move on.
"I feel just as passionate today as I did 24 years ago, in terms of representing victims," Tague says. "I feel [stepping down] is the right thing to do at this point."
Tague is not leaving the law behind. He will now work as a criminal defense attorney in West Michigan. He will also continue in his other role as restauranteur -- he's part-owner of "Two Tonys" in Spring Lake Township.
The new Muskegon County Prosecutor, D.J. Hilson, will be sworn into office on January 3.
