Petitioning The South Carolina High School League
Let Goose Creek High School compete in the 2012 playoffs!
This football team has worked very hard to get to the playoffs, and they were disqualified for a reason that they had no control over. Other schools have done the same, or even worse things, and they were granted Mercy. Football to GCHS isn't just a sport, it's a life changing event. Football brings the students closer as a family, and we would do anything to see our boys go to state.
Letter to
The South Carolina High School League

Is Pink next in line for a visit from the stork? A source tells Us Weekly that the singer, who separated briefly from her husband, Carey Hart in 2008, is 12 weeks into a pregnancy. "Pink was determined to make the relationship solid," says the source. "Now she's really happy, and she's excited she got pregnant so fast! She'll be a brilliant mother." The singer, 31, and Hart, 35, planned the pregnancy between her tours, when she had a little more downtime, according to the magazine. The baby would be the reunited couple's first. (Us)

Roxann Martinez sets up the Tulare PAL Phantom Fireworks booth on Hillman Street in Tulare on Friday. Fourteen booths opened in Visalia Saturday and 12 opened Sunday.
- Filed Under
For one week out of the year, there's one thing on everyone's mind - fireworks. But, while people are scouring for coupons and fliers, fire departments and non-profit organizations are making sure the celebrations go off with a bang.
Planning starts early, but the payoffs for these nonprofits can mean less stress for the rest of the year. With payday's anywhere from $6,000 to $20,000, this is a top fundraiser for the dozens of non-profits organizations that run booths.
And competition is fierce. ...

No, it doesn't equate to winning a sectional or state championship - but the Cazenovia ice hockey team still reached a huge milestone in the waning days of 2010.
When the first state Division II rankings were released, it was the Lakers on top for the first time in the program's history, its 5-0 start enough to impress the voters.
As always, a top ranking also means a bigger target for opponents to shoot at - but when the Lakers went to the Cortland/Homer Tournament during the holiday break, no one would come close to catching them.
In Tuesday's opening round, the Lakers faced Frontier, a Section VI school from the southern suburbs of Buffalo, and unleashed its best offensive effort of the season in a 10-3 romp over the Falcons.
Already ahead 2-0, Cazenovia dazzled the crowd in the second period by finding the net five times, a barrage that Frontier could not possibly answer.
Brian Gara and Sam Lewis both had career outings, as Gara piled up five goals and three assists and, somehow, Lewis got the other five goals, a personal beset. As the help, Connor Cannizzaro earned three assists, with Joe Nardella adding two assists. Joe Colligan, Cullen Franz and Cameron Brathan had one assist apiece.
This sent the Lakers into Wednesday's championship game against Cortland-Homer, the hosts having survived Utica Proctor 1-0 in the other part of the opening round.
Knowing how hard the Golden Eagles had to work just to reach the finals, Cazenovia pushed the tempo from the opening face-off - resulting in a big early lead and, ultimately, a 6-2 victory and the first-place trophy.
Just as with Frontier, the Lakers bounced out to a 2-0 lead in the first period. And just like the day before, the Lakers made the second period decisive, this time outscoring Cortland-Homer 3-1 to secure its ultimate winning margin.

strida is the only folding bike that is greaseless, corrosion resistant, and virtually maintenance free. it's also the world's lightest folding production bike and can easily be rolled when folded. through design and manufacturing leadership, we are able to back the strida with the strongest warranty package in the bike business. this bicycle stows almost anywhere, while folding quickly and easily without having to remove parts or use complicated tools.
Please check with your local distributor at http://www.strida.com/en/distributor/
STRiDA is best suited for riders less than 100kgs (220lbs) and between 153cm (5') and 193cm (6'4") tall. And 18'' wheel is suited for riders between 165cm (5'4'') and 193cm (6'4") tall. You can adjust the seat adjustment according to your height.
Please check with your local distributor at http://www.strida.com/en/distributor/or CONTACT US mailto:email@example.com.
yes, yes, yes and yes. the strida was designed to be the ultimate intermodal bike. it's greaseless and can be wheeled, instead of carried. during the summer of 2001, the chicago transit authority in conjunction with mit incorporated the strida into pilot program promoting the folding bike/transit link.
the strida will fit in your car trunk. if you have a small car trunk, we recommend a strida fitted with our TaperLok® folding handlebars, which reduce folded dimensions from 45" x 20" x 21" to 45" x 20" x 11". as the ceo of zipcar (of npr, cnn, inc. magazine fame) wrote in an email newsletter to all members:
"strida bikes fit easily into zipcar trunks (even the beetles) and are the perfect commuting accessory to reach cars that are not right next to t [boston public transit]- stops ."
when we brought the strida folding bike by our favorite local shop, one mechanic mused "well, it doesn't leave much for us to work on, does it?" we do recommend that you bring your strida to a professional bike mechanic for a quick checkup once each year.
It's fantastic. the short wheelbase allows for outstanding maneuverability and quick acceleration. automatic-style disc brakes deliver strong predictable braking, even in wet conditions. the strida's heads-up riding position allows a rider a commanding view of surrounding traffic and terrain. injection nylon seat mouldings suspend your body, giving you a smoother ride.
See 7 second folding! click here to try our popular interactive folding demonstration.
the strida is designed for riders who want clean, convenient and portable transportation available on a moment's notice. it is ideal for boaters, pilots and anyone with short commutes, island hopping, city life, getting around campus or any time you need a whole new way to move.
not at all, unless all you do is climb steep hills. the strida travels easily across short distances at an average speed of 10-12 mph (15-20 kph).as paul taylor of the financial times observed about our bike: "it is quite easy to ride once you get going. gears would help on hills, but i did not find their absence as much of a handicap as i had expected."
very strong.
strida uses nature's strongest geometric form: the triangle. the bike easily surpasses all frame strength criteria developed by the british standards institute and the consumer products safety commission (cpsc).
the strida has standard 16" tire tubes, available at any bike shop.
kevlar is used to make combat helmets and bulletproof vests. our belt has been high-torque, high-heat, and high-speed tested in automobile engines to last 50,000 miles. that's a lot of riding. (they can also be found in auto parts stores.)
Please check with your local distributor at http://www.strida.com/en/distributor/
No, the strida features a 100% greaseless exterior. in addition, cables and brakes are internal. no fuss, no muss. a big plus on a crowded subway, or in your car trunk. arrive home early, with clean clothes.
while the bike is unusual, most of the components are standard. the beauty of the strida is its simplicity. few standard parts fail, and even fewer non-standard parts fail. in addition, many common ailments of a standard bike (loose headset, worn chain ring teeth, gear trouble, etc) have been engineered out of the strida. you pedal, you go.
Yes. the bike is great to check on commercial airlines. unlike most other bicycles, there are no derailleurs or brake calipers to bend, no cables to get tangled, no stem to remove, no sharp edges to tear through packing material, no chain to get everything greasy, and no bike fees to pay. the bike in the bag resembles a set of golf clubs and never gets a second look. once you've arrived, the bike is easy to put in the trunk of a cab, or store in a hotel closet.
while no bike is completely rustproof, the strida is as rustproof as a bicycle can be.

Guided by the belief that good is the opposite of bad, mankind has for centuries pursued its fixation with fault and failing. Doctors have studied disease in order to learn about health. Psychologists have investigated sadness in order to learn about joy. Therapists have looked into the causes of divorce in order to learn about happy marriage. And in schools and workplaces around the world, each one of us has been encouraged to identify, analyze, and correct our weaknesses in order to become strong.
This advice is well intended but misguided. Faults and failings deserve study, but they reveal little about strengths. Strengths have their own patterns.
To excel in your chosen field and to find lasting satisfaction in doing so, you will need to understand your unique patterns. You will need to become an expert at finding and describing and applying and practicing and refining your strengths. So as you read this book, shift your focus. Suspend whatever interest you may have in weakness and instead explore the intricate detail of your strengths. Take the StrengthsFinder Profile. Learn its language. Discover the source of your strengths.
If by the end of the book you have developed your expertise in what is right about you and your employees, this book will have served its purpose.
The Revolution
"What are the two assumptions on which great organizations must be built?"
We wrote this book to start a revolution, the strengths revolution. At the heart of this revolution is a simple decree: The great organization must not only accommodate the fact that each employee is different, it must capitalize on these differences. It must watch for clues to each employee's natural talents and then position and develop each employee so that his or her talents are transformed into bona fide strengths. By changing the way it selects, measures, develops, and channels the careers of its people, this revolutionary organization must build its entire enterprise around the strengths of each person.
And as it does, this revolutionary organization will be positioned to dramatically outperform its peers. In our latest metaanalysis The Gallup Organization asked this question of 198,000 employees working in 7,939 business units within 36 companies: At work do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day? We then compared the responses to the performance of the business units and discovered the following: When employees answered "strongly agree" to this question, they were 50 percent more likely to work in business units with lower employee turnover, 38 percent more likely to work in more productive business units, and 44 percent more likely to work in business units with higher customer satisfaction scores. And over time those business units that increased the number of employees who strongly agreed saw comparable increases in productivity, customer loyalty, and employee retention. Whichever way you care to slice the data, the organization whose employees feel that their strengths are used every day is more powerful and more robust.
This is very good news for the organization that wants to be on the vanguard of the strengths revolution. Why? Because most organizations remain startlingly inefficient at capitalizing on the strengths of their people. In Gallup's total database we have asked the "opportunity to do what I do best" question of more than 1.7 million employees in 101 companies from 63 countries. What percentage do you think strongly agrees that they have an opportunity to do what they do best every day? What percentage truly feels that their strengths are in play?
Twenty percent. Globally, only 20 percent of employees working in the large organizations we surveyed feel that their strengths are in play every day. Most bizarre of all, the longer an employee stays with an organization and the higher he climbs the traditional career ladder, the less likely he is to strongly agree that he is playing to his strengths.
Alarming though it is to learn that most organizations operate at 20 percent capacity, this discovery actually represents a tremendous opportunity for great organizations. To spur high-margin growth and thereby increase their value, great organizations need only focus inward to find the wealth of unrealized capacity that resides in every single employee. Imagine the increase in productivity and profitability if they doubled this number and so had 40 percent of their employees strongly agreeing that they had a chance to use their strengths every day. Or how about tripling the number? Sixty percent of employees saying "strongly agree" isn't too aggressive a goal for the greatest organizations.
How can they achieve this? Well, to begin with they need to understand why eight out of ten employees feel somewhat miscast in their role. What can explain this widespread inability to position people -- in particular senior people who have had the chance to search around for interesting roles -- to play to their strengths?
The simplest explanation is that most organizations' basic assumptions about people are wrong. We know this because for the last thirty years Gallup has been conducting research into the best way to maximize a person's potential. At the heart of this research are our interviews with eighty thousand managers -- most excellent, some average -- in hundreds of organizations around the world. Here the focus was to discover what the world's best managers (whether in Bangalore or Bangor) had in common. We described our discoveries in detail in the book First, Break All the Rules, but the most significant finding was this: Most organizations are built on two flawed assumptions about people:
I. Each person can learn to be competent in almost anything.
2. Each person's greatest room for growth is in his or her areas of greatest weakness.
Presented so baldly, these two assumptions seem too simplistic to be commonly held, so let's play them out and see where they lead. If you want to test whether or not your organization is based on these assumptions, look for these characteristics:
- Your organization spends more money on training people once they are hired than on selecting them properly in the first place.
- Your organization focuses the performance of its employees by legislating work style. This means a heavy emphasis on work rules, policies, procedures, and "behavioral competencies."
- Your organization spends most of its training time and money on trying to plug the gaps in employees' skills or competencies. It calls these gaps "areas of opportunity." Your individual development plan, if you have one, is built around your "areas of opportunity," your weaknesses.
- Your organization promotes people based on the skills or experiences they have acquired. After all, if everyone can learn to be competent in almost anything, those who have learned the most must be the most valuable. Thus, by design, your organization gives the most prestige, the most respect, and the highest salaries to the most experienced well-rounded people.
Finding an organization that doesn't have these characteristics is more difficult than finding one that does. Most organizations take their employees' strengths for granted and focus on minimizing their weaknesses. They become expert in those areas where their employees struggle, delicately rename these "skill gaps" or "areas of opportunity," and then pack them off to training classes so that the weaknesses can be fixed. This approach is occasionally necessary: If an employee always alienates those around him, some sensitivity training can help; likewise, a remedial communication class can benefit an employee who happens to be smart but inarticulate. But this isn't development, it is damage control. And by itself damage control is a poor strategy for elevating either the employee or the organization to world-class performance.
As long as an organization operates under these assumptions, it will never capitalize on the strengths of each employee.
To break out of this weakness spiral and to launch the strengths revolution in your own organization, you must change your assumptions about people. Start with the right assumptions, and everything else that follows from them -- how you select, measure, train, and develop your people -- will be right. These are the two assumptions that guide the world's best managers:
I. Each person's talents are enduring and unique.
2. Each person's greatest room for growth is in the areas of his or her greatest strength.
These two assumptions are the foundation for everything they do with and for their people. These two assumptions explain why great managers are careful to look for talent in every role, why they focus people's performances on outcomes rather than forcing them into a stylistic mold, why they disobey the Golden Rule and treat each employee differently, and why they spend the most time with their best people. In short, these two assumptions explain why the world's best managers break all the rules of conventional management wisdom.
Now, following the great managers' lead, it is time to change the rules. These two revolutionary assumptions must serve as the central tenets for a new way of working. They are the tenets for a new organization, a stronger organization, an organization designed to reveal and stretch the strengths of each employee.
Most organizations have a process for ensuring the efficient use of their practical resources. Six Sigma or ISO 9000 processes are commonplace. Likewise, most organizations have increasingly efficient processes for exploiting their financial resources. The recent fascination with metrics such as economic value added and return on capital bear testament to this. Few organizations, however, have developed a systematic process for the efficient use of their human resources. (They may experiment with individual development plans, 360-degree surveys, and competencies, but these experiments are mostly focused on fixing each employee's weaknesses rather than building his strengths.)
In this book we want to show you how to design a systematic strength-building process. Specifically, Chapter 7, "Building a Strengths-based Organization," can help. Here we describe what the optimum selection system looks like, which three outcomes all employees should have on their scorecard, how to reallocate those misguided training budgets, and, last, how to change the way you channel each employee's career.
If you are a manager and want to know how best to capitalize on the strengths of your individual direct reports, then Chapter 6, "Managing Strengths," will help. Here we identify virtually every ability or style you might find in your people and explain what you can do to maximize the strengths of each employee.
However, we don't start there. We start with you. What are your strengths? How can you capitalize on them? What are your most powerful combinations? Where do they take you? What one, two, or three things can you do better than ten thousand other people? These are the kinds of questions we will deal with in the first five chapters. After all, you can't lead a strengths revolution if you don't know how to find, name, and develop your own.
Two Million Interviews
"Whom did Gallup interview to learn about human strengths?"
Imagine what you might learn if you could interview two million people about their strengths. Imagine interviewing the world's best teachers and asking them how they keep children so interested in what might otherwise be dry subject matter. Imagine asking them how they build such trusting relationships with so many different children. Imagine asking them how they balance fun and discipline in the classroom. Imagine asking them about all the things they do that make them so very good at what they do.
And then imagine what you could learn if you did the same with the world's best doctors and salespeople and lawyers (yes, they can be found) and professional basketball players and stockbrokers and accountants and hotel housekeepers and leaders and soldiers and nurses and pastors and systems engineers and chief executives. Imagine all those questions and, more important, all those vivid answers.
Over the last thirty years The Gallup Organization has conducted a systematic study of excellence wherever we could find it. This wasn't some mammoth poll. Each of those interviews (a little over two million at the last count, of which the eighty thousand managers from First, Break All the Rules were a small part) consisted of open-ended questions like the ones mentioned above. We wanted to hear these excellent performers describe in their own words exactly what they were doing.
In all these different professions we found a tremendous diversity of knowledge, skill, and talent. But as you might suspect, we soon began to detect patterns. We kept looking and listening, and gradually we extracted from this wealth of testimony thirty-four patterns, or "themes," as we have called them. These thirty-four are the most prevalent themes of human talent. Our research tells us that these thirty-four, in their many combinations, can do the best job of explaining the broadest possible range of excellent performance.
These thirty-four do not capture every single human idiosyncrasy -- individuals are too infinitely varied for that kind of claim. So think of these thirty-four as akin to the eighty-eight keys on a piano. The eighty-eight keys cannot play every single note that can possibly be played, but in their many combinations they can capture everything from classic Mozart to classic Madonna. The same applies to these thirty-four themes. Used with insight and understanding they can help capture the unique themes playing in each person's life.
To be most helpful we offer you a way to measure yourself on these thirty-four themes. We ask you to pause after reading Chapter 3 and take a profile called StrengthsFinder that is available on the Internet. It will immediately reveal your five dominant themes of talent, your signature themes. These signature themes are your most powerful sources of strength. If you want to learn about the themes of your employees or family or friends, you can read Chapter 4 and learn about each of the thirty-four. But initially our main focus is you. By identifying and refining these signature themes you will be in the best possible position to play out your own strengths to the fullest.
As you study these five themes and consider ways to apply what you have learned, keep this thought in mind: The real tragedy of life is not that each of us doesn't have enough strengths, it's that we fail to use the ones we have. Benjamin Franklin called wasted strengths "sundials in the shade." As you can see, the impetus of this book is that too many organizations, too many teams, and too many individuals unknowingly hide their "sundials in the shade."
We want this book and your experiences while reading it to cast a light and thereby put your strengths to work.

Now, Discover Your Strengths
Unfortunately, most of us have little sense of our talents and strengths, much less the ability to build our lives around them. Instead, guided by our parents, by our teachers, by our managers, and by psychology's fascination with pathology, we become experts in our weaknesses and spend our lives trying to repair these flaws, while our strengths lie dormant and neglected.
Marcus Buckingham, coauthor of the national bestseller First, Break All the Rules, and Donald O. Clifton, Chair of the Gallup International Research & Education Center, have created a revolutionary program to help readers identify their talents, build them into strengths, and enjoy consistent, near-perfect performance. At the heart of the book is the Internet-based StrengthsFinder® Profile, the product of a 25-year, multimillion-dollar effort to identify the most prevalent human strengths. The program introduces 34 dominant "themes" with thousands of possible combinations, and reveals how they can best be translated into personal and career success. In developing this program, Gallup has conducted psychological profiles with more than two million individuals to help readers learn how to focus and perfect these themes.
So how does it work? This book contains a unique identification number that allows you access to the StrengthsFinder Profile on the Internet. This Web-based interview analyzes your instinctive reactions and immediately presents you with your five most powerful signature themes. Once you know which of the 34 themes -- such as Achiever, Activator, Empathy, Futuristic, or Strategic -- you lead with, the book will show you how to leverage them for powerful results at three levels: for your own development, for your success as a manager, and for the success of your organization.
With accessible and profound insights on how to turn talents into strengths, and with the immediate on-line feedback of StrengthsFinder at its core, Now, Discover Your Strengths is one of the most groundbreaking and useful business books ever written.
Please note that the code for the Online Strengths Finder Test is found on the inside of the dust jacket or in the sealed sleeve bound into the book just before the end paper.

Is the plastic piece on the outside of the hood, meaning accessible with hte top lifted? If so, that is called a Rolleigrid, I believe. It was an add-on piece Rollei sold. It can be removed- pull back/down on the center tab at the back of the hood and pry it up from the back edge.
Short of a Maxwell, an Oleson screen is a great improvement. For $30 or so, hard to go wrong. If you want better, the $200 Maxwell will be waiting

Advanced effects like parallax bump mapping are possible, as well as normal mapping with specular reflection. With the expandable shader system, there is no limit to the effects possible.
Skeletal Animation System
Leadwerks Game Engine 2.4 supports bone animation with hardware-optimized skinning, for efficient rendering of dozens of animated characters. Attach weapons or items to character bones, or add physics bodies to simulate locational damage. Animations can be blended with animations, programmed movements, or even physics interactions, as with ragdolls.
Render Buffers and Post-Processing Effects
Render to any OpenGL graphics context or directly to texture-based render buffers. Render buffers can be drawn onscreen with shader effects to visualize bloom, depth-of-field, motion blur, and other post-processing effects, as well as reflection and refraction effects.

You'll receive a SPECIAL VIDEO THANK-YOU MESSAGE from Ben. Why 11 dollars? Channel 11 is where WILD CHICAGO first aired. Oh, you'll also get an on-screen thank-you credit on the DVD. In fact, so will all our contributors.
Your very own DOWNLOAD of the program. Plus all of the above. Why 33 dollars? That was my age when I walked into that fateful first meeting with Mr. John Davies at Channel 11, which led to the birth of Chicago's wackiest, coolest show ever.
It'll be about how you got ONE (1) ADVANCE COPY OF THE DVD for helping tell the world The Story of Wild Chicago. Autographed by Ben.
You'll receive ONE ADVANCE COPY OF THE DVD, and A LIMITED PRINT OF THE COVER OF ELEVEN MAGAZINE (JULY 1990) FEATURING "The Host of Wild Chicago Interviews Ben Hollis" – autographed by yours truly. (Wild Thing, you make my heart sing.) Why 58 dollars? None of your dang business!
You get the TWO (2) ADVANCE COPIES of the DVD plus THE ORIGINAL PITCH DEMO TAPE we put together that compelled Channel 11 to give us a shot. (See above video.) Includes rare footage of the legendary Marc Smith's Poetry Slam at The Get Me High Jazz Club, Goodies Toy Store, The Polka Music Hall of Fame and more. Glorious VHS transferred to DVD. Plus the ELEVEN MAGAZINE COVER.
I'll record a brand gnu WILD OUT-GOING MESSAGE FOR YOUR PHONE. I promise to keep it clean. Plus Two (2) DVDs, THE ELEVEN MAGAZINE COVER and the ORIGINAL PITCH DEMO.
Do it in style, with an OFFICIAL PITH HELMET SIGNED BY BEN. Just like the one worn on the show – and by The Marines back in Vietnam circa 1969. Limit 20. Plus TWO (2) DVDs, the ORIGINAL PITCH VIDEO and the ELEVEN MAGAZINE COVER.
Go on a WILD CHICAGO TOUR, custom made for you and lead by Ben! There's room for 4 in my car. Or shall we take your minivan? Either way, we'll hit some very cool spots of Wild Chicago renown and I'll tell you plenty of behind-the-scenes stories of Chicago's quirkiest show ever. 3 hours – just like Gilligan's Island. Maybe we'll get shipwrecked in Crete. Limit 3. Plus up to SIX (6) DVDs for your friends.
Why? Because your amazing contribution got you a WILD CHICAGO LIVE TALK SHOW IN YOUR LIVING ROOM. I'll bring some favorite guests from the show and we'll play some music and tell some stories. Plus I'll interview you and your friends. You better have your camcorder ready. (Note: This isn't for broadcast. It's a live, in-person, once in a lifetime kind of show.) Limit 3. Plus TWO PITH HELMETS and up to 20 DVDs for you and your friends. ASSOCIATE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER CREDIT.
Your generosity and spirit of adventure has earned you YOUR VERY OWN WILD CHICAGO MOVIE hosted and produced by me! EMMY QUALITY, my friend. What'll it be about? Your family? Your business? Your Machu Picchu escape? Let's make a plan and put it together. (It could be Wild Chicago style or not. Limits apply. We'll talk.) Limit 2.

Whoa, check out this photo of some dwarves from Peter Jackson's The Hobbit! (HAHA. GOTCHA!)
What happened to "pranks are the lamest"?
Don't ask me why I clicked on the link in the first place since I don't like LOTR even a little bit, but I chuckled.
I will only watch this movie if all of the dwarves are played by Feebles.
My favorite part from the description caption "These three brothers, all sons of the same mother".
Oh, that's how it works.
Well played, sir.

Yes, that's what I love about the clips I have is that they make a small pinhole right on the edge of the film and hold it with a death grip. The opening is just big enough to get to the edge of viewing area, but not any closer. Jobo clips design looks fairly similar but I just like these much more. I made an inquiry on alibaba, but no response so far. I think that next time I see my dentist I will ask him where he gets his clips.

- agave - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
The most familiar species of the agave is the American aloe, commonly known as the century plant through a mistaken idea that it blooms only after reaching 100 years of age. Actually the time of blooming depends upon the plant's vigor and the conditions under which it grows. In warm countries flowers appear in a few years. In colder climates it requires from 40 to 60 years. After blooming one time, the plant dies.

Michigan Attorney General and Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Cox had some harsh words for the Rev. Al Sharpton online today.
Cox tweeted that he was "digusted but not surprised" that Sharpton would be giving the eulogy at the funeral of 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones, who was shot and killed during a Detroit Police raid on Sunday.
Cox addressed his misspelling of the word "disgusted" several hours later, saying "Under any spelling, Sharpton is exploiting tragedy."
The funeral will be 11 a.m. Saturday at the Second Ebenezer Church, 14601 Dequindre in Detroit.
The Rev. Horace Sheffield III, a prominent Detroit pastor and executive director of the Detroit Association of Black Organizations, blasted Coxs comments.
I think its disturbing, disgusting and unacceptable for him to forsake his law enforcement role for his public pandering trying to get elected to another office role, said Sheffield, whos arranging and officiating at Aiyanas funeral.

More games for the troops! Huzzah!
I always love getting these emails in my inbox, with the pictures and the thank you card attached. Makes all the time and energy devoted into putting one of these video game care packages together.
Here's the thank you note from medic Mikhael, who's platoon of sappers is deployed to Afghanistan from North Carolina:
We just got back from a long mission set and were all surprised to find a giant box sitting in our AO (area of operations). We were all pretty stoked when we saw where it was from and immediately tore into the package. It means a lot to us and we are all currently getting our gaming on since we have the next couple of days off. Thanks again for the support and putting this together for us. What you are doing for all the deployed soldiers is something spectacular! Hopefully there is something that we or at least I can do to show our appreciation to you! For now we plan on sending you a couple of our company shirts (new, don't worry these won't be used t-shirts lol). Again, thank you very very much. By the way, the signed copy of Gears 3 is freakin amazing, along with everything else, especially with Epic being based out of our great state of North Carolina. Haha. Thank you again!

Dreadlocks, Ganja and Reggae: What is Rastafarianism?
The foundations and beliefs of the Rastafarian culture.
Since the mid seventies a reggae artist by the name of Bob Marley has introduced the sound of Reggae music to the western world. Accompanying his music was his long uncut braid-like hair (dreadlocks) and the strong scent of burning ganja (marijuana) which is an integral part of the full picture of Rastafarianism.
Many people are of the impression that there is little more to Rastafarianism than smoking weed and growing your hair into tangled locks. This however is not the case.
Interestingly enough, the Rastafarian religion draws its central belief system from the Christian bible. They believe that the bible has been incorrectly translated from its Aramaic roots and therefore contains mistakes. A Rasta believes that one can use experience and intuition to discern the truth and interpret the words in the bible correctly.
The belief System
At the core of the Rastafarian belief system is the doctrine that black people are the descendants of the early Israelites and were exiled because of their transgressions against God. Their salvation will come through Haile Selassie I (the last crowned black Emperor of Ethiopia) who, they believe, is God and their savior, the incarnation of Jah -or Jehovah. Haile Selassie I is seen as the reincarnation of Christ, the one who will bring them to the Land of freedom, to Africa. For them, Africa and, more precisely Ethiopia, is the home of all Black people, the place where they can be saved. This salvation comes through repatriation. The meaning applied to repatriation varies among those who are believers. For some, it means a physical return to Africa; others, however, think that the return to Africa does not need to be a physical return; most important is to become aware of their African identity, to re-establish their identity undermined by the different kinds of power, and to immediately start changing their reality right where they are now.
Although they believe in reincarnation they are not overly concerned with the after life, as salvation happens here in their search for their home, in the search for Africa which is for them associated with heaven, while Babylon (that is the place of the white man, the white man's society) is associated with hell.
Dreadlocks and Identity
Growing one's hair into dreadlocks is also a belief that stems from the bible. The dread locks are one of the ways Rastafarians use to emphasize their identity. It is related to the lions and inspired in the bible. Cutting one's locks is strictly prohibited in the Rasta culture hence some Rastafarians have hair that is past their waist. To be a Rasta is to live in accordance with the laws of nature, in other words is to live in an African way.In their diet they avoid meat, and above all, pork, alcohol, and food of unknown sources.

rastas live in a world of non rasta so to commune with others is only natural..
Livity is only a theory to Babylon and not really understood so "religion" is the closest thing for them to say..where there is no overstanding there is to be name calling.. no offense from the ignorant shall turn our heads from the truth.. Jah is jah and Rastafari is HIMself.. those who seek understanding should not be rebuffed but educated into truth.. livity and Inity..one sees too much the rasta lion roar and the smoke and locks only and being associated with badness is not our aim nor destiny…good over evil every time.. where is the one love?
"we prefer the title RastafarI to disassociate ourselves from organized religion (isms and schisms) and to emphasize the unity and natural bonding with each other, Jah and the planet and all the plants and animals and natural elements of the world (The capital I)"
peace to all
On March 15, 2008 at 5:17 pm
A very informative article. I must stress however how important it is that a rastafari will never call himself "rastafarian" the suffix "ian" brings about isms, ists, and various other labels we apply to ourselves. Rastafari use the suffix "I" in place in many cases. Rastafari has huge emphasis on the individual (IandI). Rastafari also has no structure, i.e it is not an organised religion, there are no priests or ceremonies. This is another reason the "ian" suffix is avoided.

I'm engage to someone whom claim to be rasta. States we must have the same believes always judges my youth states that rasta means I must give up my faith but we have been having sex without the blessing from the creator so I ask what this all about and whats the laws on wedding, marriage, rearing of the youths, sex, do I have to give up my faith when this relationship was build in sin
On July 29, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Unfortunately there are very few true Rastafarians left in Jamaica. The "Rent a Dreds" have caused the loss of lots of respect for the Rastas. A true Rasta is a family man, conservationalist, pure in body and spirit, doesn't drink alcohol, and tries to be a good example to all people. I hope their culture never dies out but there are fewer and fewer true Rastas. I am a Jamaican-American citizen and have lived in Jamaica many years.
On August 13, 2008 at 10:17 am
I believe and practice Rastafari…
Rastafari isn't a religion that is amongst one race… Such as Jamaican or African…
Nor is it a religion built on what sexual preference you have…
There are people who hail up being a Rasta but str8 up Mash down certain individuals that give praise to the most high.
They are the ones who never increase in there faith!!!!
Rastafari is against the oppression of all people of all kinds… no matter what your trod is…
Any soul giving praise to the most high is worthy of being a rasta.
Picking and choosing who Deserves the most high love is not of Rastafari!!!
That is turning the love from Rastafari to there own vanity and pride for fear of the emperor or empress standing next to them.
Rastafari is 1 love!!!! NOT A LOVE OF DIFFERENT SEXES OR PREFERENCES!!!!
On August 28, 2008 at 5:17 pm

not to be like i know everything but some of your information is not quite the truth it sounds like you are trying to make Rasa as a black thing when it isnt Haile Selassiei is not GOD he is the profit and red green and gold stands for RED the blood of man kind GREEN the lush vegetation of the earth GOLD the son and the all mighty so you might want to watch how you word things!!!!!

On December 13, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Does anyone know what "Livity" Means?? I asked the question above but no one gave me an answer. I hear Rastafarians use the word a lot and sure enouth it has something to do with praising Jah.

every1 is running around talking about the end of days soon an all this and dat and yet they have them belly full and they spending like no other….yet the rastafari is denied work for staying true to christ's kingdom….as this was foretold in revalation.JAH lives Rejoice and live it up….iNi love the most high and praise him a king of kings conquering lion of the tribe of judah as also foretold….shall those who see be blind in the end of days and those that are blind see the truth. the devil is in the church acting as a shepard(pastor) and teacher as he was in the days of Jesus.Lying to the people about the coming suffering lamb messiah of JAH. and even as new jerusalem sets as a glorious kingdom of christ reign foriver more in inity….the old dragon is lying to the very elected.roman washed christianity.

On August 7, 2009 at 2:38 pm
hey first of all the hole christians the only way statement that was a little harsh if that is what you believe then why are you looking up this site, second this is a way of love. how can you down that.
i have a question pple say that im rastafari because i smoke the herb and i have bob marley tattooed on my back i also know pritty much every song bob wrote. i beleive his words and quote him often. my question is to all of you that are rastafari, do you follow all the rules?, no alcohol, no preservatives, no piercing/ tattoos, no pork, no flying, no cutting your hair ect…. to be a rasta do you need to follow everything?
another thing do you beleive that Haile Selassiei is the savior (jesus) do we not over look that bob marley was baptised into another religion and found jesus.
where im going is not that rasta is not true i feel that rasta is a clean living and love for one another no matter what. i also feel that just like any other group or religion or following that they evolve and they have choices to make. all of the rules are guidlines. is this right or am i way off. ( i have studied rasta alot seeing as i love bob marley, and i wanted to understand.)
when life gets to be too much my dad always reminds me you need to live rasta you are getting caught up in worldly problems.

Marley lover wrote: \"…you beleive that Haile Selassiei is the savior (jesus) do we not over look that bob marley was baptised into another religion and found jesus.\"
My understanding is that Rastafari believe that Haile Selassie I IS Jesus–that it was He (I and I) who was born in the manger in Nazareth and He (I and I) again who ruled in Ethiopia and that He (I and I) shall come yet again for one final time, as portrayed in Revelation. So Bob believed that Emperor Selassie I was Himself (Iself) Jesus. So when Bob found Jesus, Bob found Selassie I.

there is no rules in life, do what you wana do, be what you want to be,… remembering all, forgetting nothing….. were are all made up of the same thing (elements eg. Carbon, hydogen and oxygen etc)- 115 orso of these make up the earth the water the trees and the yous and the me's…. we are born the same and die the same , we should live as 1, but take note, we are not the same… otherwise the world would not be this magical place full of all things great and small. If there was no change, no variation, there'd be no evolution. And i wouldnt be here writing this and you wouldnt be here reading it….So, live life, love it, share it … One love….

I guess theres probly another place for my comments. but 1 more..
Im not blessed into this religeon, but i have taken it onboard and its part of my life, so i am part rastafari…
Thanks Bob for starting the movment, thanks to everyone else for caring it forward.
On May 10, 2010 at 1:09 pm
people, you do realise that bob marley (however awesome he was; and i love his music so no disrespect to the legend) is not the be all and end all of the rasta? just because you listen to his music doesn't mean you are rasta, and just because he became a christian doesn't mean that any rasta who loves his music has to follow in his footsteps. personally, i believe that rasta as a religion is different from rasta as a culture and way of life, and while some people may not believe the religious citations of rasta, the principles of not poisoning your body and being against oppression etc. are still valuable concepts
On May 22, 2011 at 8:13 pm
I have been an agnostic for awhile and I may start to believe in this religion. I need more research to do but this article was a great start. Thank you. Great information

Apple Time Capsule NAS storage
This think got its name partly from its intended use, you see currently you have to have a wired, direct-connected hard drive in order to use Time Machine, but with this thing, you can backup wirelessly, or over a network, if you wanted to, and you can backup directly to this drive instead of some other external drive. If this thing works with PC's as well as Macs, and if it works as just plain old NAS as well as backup storage, than this will by far be my favorite release that was announced today. It's also the only announcement where the product isn't available now, in fact, it won't be available until February.

Must a personal blog be limited to a single topic to be taken seriously?
If another influence-related indicator (e.g., a Klout score) is positive, does that "make up for" scant comments on someone's personal blog?
Here's the thing.
I enjoy blogging, and I have been happy with lierrepoet's format. I also haven't minded the lack of feedback recorded here because I've received positive comments about my posts in person or via email; I know I've reached people.
You know a but is coming, right?
But I think blogging for professional purposes is a good skill to have, and I don't have an opportunity to develop that skill where I work (I am allowed to write video, audio, print and web copy, but blogging and social copy for clients now belongs to only a single department at the agency. I am not making a judgment about that. It's just how we're structured.)
All that to say that my personal blog may be the only outlet I have for developing professional blogging abilities, so I'm wondering how (or if) I should alter my blog.
I'm just not sure what's best for me to do in this case.

This started as a discussion over on the forums, but I ended up writing a fairly long winded response, and for the sake of the whole internet, I'm going to place it here as well so it doesn't get lost in forum-based obscurity!
The question related to hosting WF as a web service, but not in ASP.NET. If you expose it as an asmx web service, either by selecting "publish as web service" or by rolling your own asmx web service project, they are going to still be hosted in IIS, but in a different application.
Anyway, my article is located here.
One of the things that worked out incredibly well at TechEd was our chalk talks. We had a small theater set up with about 20-30 seats, a whiteboard and a small monitor for presentations. A number of the chalk talks on Windows Workflow Foundation were "steal a chair" events, where more people showed up than chairs. These talks were a great chance to dive deep into some specific areas of functionality, answer questions and head on over to the whiteboard to work through some design issues as well.
Now we have the talks posted on the community site, so check them out.
I'm still digging out from TechEd, but while I did that I fired up my podcatcher and found a new episode of .NET Rocks waiting for me, with a title that caught my eye. I then found that on .NET Rocks TV, June has been the "Month of Workflow." Check it out!
S. Somasegar just announced the WinFX name change. It's now the .NET Framework 3.0. This is a name change for the technology, which still has all of the great parts: Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Communciation Foundation, Windows CardSpace, and Windows Workflow Foundation. I think that this makes it clear that WinFX is not a separate entity from .NET, the two have always been tied very closely together, and the naming now reflects this.
We'll be rolling out a new version of www.windowsworkflow.net shortly, watch this space for more details!
I was out of town for most of this week, so I am busy catching up on things here.
First, I would like to thank Jon for this post, pointing out some areas of improvement which can be made in the designer re-hosting sample that I pointed to. Paul then let me know that Vihang's article on MSDN had been updated as well. Vihang's article is a great introduction to a lot of the issues that you will encounter in designer rehosting.
Other than that, I'm getting ready to head off to TechEd, where the WF team will be in full force. If you're looking to find out anything about worklow, stop by our sessions or chalk talks. If you're plate is already full with other things to do, stop on by the Connected Systems TLC in the developer section (I think it's "blue"). There will be plenty of product team members hanging around to talk about any workflow questions you might have. I'll be the guy wearing the blue Microsoft shirt, so I should be pretty easy to find!
Oh, and make sure to check out www.windowsworkflow.net on Monday morning, we've got a little bit of an update coming :-);
I did my first MSDN webcast this morning (you can find details about it here). As promised I wanted to put in links to all of the demos that I did during the webcast. If you have any questions, please let me know. SDK samples are available in the \Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Workflow Foundation\Samples.zip. I usually just expand the zip file so that I have a samples subdirectory in that folder.
Special thanks to Vittorio Bertocci and Iwona Bialynicka-Birula for their work on the custom designer sample application.

5 Hold-Rated Dividend Stocks: ATAX, QCCO, GOOD, RNO, PT
QC HoldingsDividend Yield: 7.40% QC Holdings (NASDAQ: QCCO) shares currently have a dividend yield of 7.40%. QC Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries provide various retail consumer financial products and services in the United States. The company offers payday loans, which provide cash to the customers in exchange for a promissory note with a maturity of two to three weeks. The company has a P/E ratio of 10.03. The average volume for QC Holdings has been 7,700 shares per day over the past 30 days. QC Holdings has a market cap of $47.2 million and is part of the banking industry. Shares are down 16.4% year to date as of the close of trading on Monday. TheStreet Ratings rates QC Holdings as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and attractive valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including feeble growth in the company's earnings per share, deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- QCCO's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.21 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. To add to this, QCCO has a quick ratio of 2.47, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- QCCO, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 4.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 4.6%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for QC HOLDINGS INC is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 34.40%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 4.79% significantly trails the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has declined marginally to $15.18 million or 7.88% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
