Remembering September 11 3rd BCT fallen heroes
September 11, 2012
FORT BRAGG, N.C. -- On the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Americans everywhere are attending ceremonies or tuning in to watch them on television. They are reflecting on where they were the moment they learned of the history-changing events. Many can recall being in school or at work with the same clarity of the death of a loved one or the birth of a child.
There is no question that the life of nearly every American has been affected or changed. Many of them decided to join the Army, Marines Corps, Air Force, or Navy, despite the lack of an open call to arms or conscription remembered by veterans of America's past wars.
These individuals came to the military service knowing that their country was in an uncertain war, with an enemy that blended in with average citizens.
They came to the military knowing, not only would they have to deploy into harm's way, they would have to keep doing it again and again as the conflict progressed.
Those who stayed rose through the ranks over the years, becoming the first combat veterans of a prolonged war after decades of relative peace. Others left the military service, bringing their experiences with them into the civilian world.
Those who moved on to civilian life brought with them discipline, attention to detail, memories and camaraderie they may have never found in a typical college or "nine to five".
Still, brave men and women deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and other parts throughout the world to combat terrorism, and never came home.
Military service is often a thankless profession, rife with long hours of duty filled with a variety of mental and physical challenges. There is often little reward for a job well done, as it is expected of Soldiers, especially those in leadership positions.
The Paratroopers listed below who have served in the 3rd Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division are among the most deserving of thanks from the American people.
They have given the ultimate sacrifice to their country and fellow Paratroopers. They have proven their bravery, and earned their awards.
Always remember Staff Sgt. Justin M. Estes from Sims, Arkansas, an infantry squad leader in Company C, 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, who was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for his actions in Iraq on March 5, 2007 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Estes was on a mounted patrol in Iraq when a series of roadside bombs struck vehicles in his convoy. Despite the danger of more explosives in the area, or a complex ambush, he rushed to his fellow Paratroopers' sides to help carry them to safety. His courageous actions ultimately cost him his life. According to the narrative accompanying his Silver Star, "the imminent danger at which Staff Sgt. Estes had placed himself in order to save the lives of his comrades was realized, as he was engulfed in a cloud of smoke and debris as a secondary IED detonated directly underneath his feet, killing him instantly."
Always remember Staff Sgt. William C. Moore, from Benson, North Carolina, a troop section leader with Troop B, 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment (Airborne), 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, who was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for his actions in Iraq on April 23, 2007 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Moore and his platoon had been engaged during several days of combat operations when his patrol base was attacked from multiple locations and a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED), ejecting him from the building he occupied. Ignoring his injuries, he led his fellow Paratroopers to establish defensive measures.
Realizing more Paratroopers remained trapped in the damaged building from which he was ejected, he ran to the building under heavy enemy fire to attempt to save their lives, where was mortally wounded after the building was struck by a second VBIED. He ignored his injuries still, and helped direct rescue personnel to the injured Paratroopers' location while helping dig himself and others out of the destroyed building's rubble.
Always remember Sgt. Andrew Perkins from Lubbock, Texas, a team leader with Company C, 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, who was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for his actions in Iraq on March 5, 2007 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Perkins was part of a reconnaissance patrol near Samarra, Iraq when a vehicle in his convoy was struck by an improvised explosive device. His comrades in the vehicle were alive but engulfed in flames. Perkins retrieved fire blankets and a fire extinguisher and, without regard for his own safety, ran through the flames and exploding ammunition to attempt to save the lives of his comrades. After the fire extinguisher was expended, he ran to another vehicle to retrieve more blankets and returned to the intense heat. Perkins was killed trying to save the lives of his comrades by a secondary explosion.
Always remember Sgt. 1st Class Benjamin L. Sebban, from South Amboy, New Jersey, a senior medic with Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 5th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment (Airborne), 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, who was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for his actions on March 17, 2007 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Sebban safeguarded the lives of 86 Paratroopers when he noticed a vehicle laden with explosives speeding toward their location. He yelled out to warn them but was stricken down when the vehicle exploded. Despite being mortally wounded, Sebban rushed to the aid station to help treat other injured Paratroopers. He ultimately succumbed to his injuries and collapsed while helping save the lives of others.
There are many other heroic Paratroopers across the 82nd Airborne Division, past and present. They carry on as living legends and continue to serve their country from inside and outside the military service.
Those who have chosen to move on as civilians not only carry with them the memories of September 11, 2001, but the memories of their military service affected by the War of Terrorism. They operate our banks and other local services. They teach in our schools and provide us with the goods and services that we require to function as a society. But they do it with a discipline, resiliency, and attention-to-detail that isn't often found in an average citizen. Paratroopers, past and present, are a special breed of American citizen.
The airborne Soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division were never forced to join the military, or to become Paratroopers, or to leave their families to engage the enemy in some of the most hostile places in the world. They chose to serve because they knew their country needed them.
To all service members across every branch who have lost their lives, or saved the lives of others, America will forever be in your debt. You are most appreciated and missed. The people of America must always be grateful for your service, bravery, and sacrifice.

Student Visas (F-1 & M-1)
Student Visas (F-1 & M-1 Visas)
A student wishing to attend a university or other academic institution in the United States requires a student (F-1) visa; those wishing to attend a vocational or non-academic institution require M-1 visas. Holders of visitor (B-2) visas and those who have entered the United States visa free under the Visa Waiver Program are prohibited from entering into full-time study.
For complete information please visit the Student Visas section of the Travel.State.gov.
Academic (F-1) Visa
A student wishing to attend a university or other academic institution in the United States, including primary and secondary schools, or a language training program requires an F-1 visa. The Immigration and Nationality Act prohibits the issuance of F-1 visas to students who are going to the United States to attend public elementary schools (grades K through 8, approximately ages 5 to 14) and publicly-funded adult education programs such as foreign language classes. Students applying for F-1 visas to attend public secondary schools (grades 9 through 12, approximately ages 14 to 18) are limited to a maximum of 12 months of public high school in F-1 status and must show proof that payment has been made for the full, unsubsidized cost of the education before a visa can be processed. Students attending private elementary and secondary schools are not affected by this ruling.
Non-Academic (M-1) Visa
A student wishing to pursue a course of study which is not principally academic in nature at an established vocational or other recognized nonacademic institution, such as a post secondary vocational or business school, requires an M-1 visa.
Applying for the Visa
You are required to obtain from the school or academic institution either the form I-20A-B Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Status - For Academic or Language Students or the form I-20M-N, Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (M-1) Student Status Form. Schools and institutions which have received United States government approval to enroll foreign students have the authority to issue these forms. The I-20A-B or I-20M-N is not valid for travel unless accompanied by a valid visa. Once you have this form, please review the following FIVE STEPS below before beginning your visa application.
Step 1: Follow this link to find out How to Apply
Step 2: Pay the SEVIS fee
Step 3: Complete the online DS-160
Step 4: Gather additional required documents
Step 5: If you have ever been arrested and/or have a criminal conviction, have a medical ineligibility, or have been denied entry into or deported from the United States, you will be required to furnish documents relating to your situation in support of your application.
We always recommend that individuals apply for visas well in advance of their proposed date of travel. No assurances regarding the issuance of visas can be given in advance. Therefore, final travel plans or the purchase of non-refundable tickets should not be made until a visa has been issued and you have received your passport via DHL.
Entry and Length of Stay
The holder of a student F-1 or M-1 visa may enter the United States up to 30 days before the designated registration date on the I-20A-B or I-20M. The 30 day limitation does not apply to students returning to resume studies; they may enter the U.S. at any time. The holder of an F-1 visa may remain in the United States for up to 60 days following the completion of the course or practical training. Note: The duration of status of an F-1 student in a publicly-funded secondary school cannot exceed an aggregate of 12 months schooling.
The holder of an M-1 visa may remain in the United States for the period of time it will take to complete the course of study as indicated on the I-20M plus 30 days, or for one year, whichever is less.
If you wish to remain longer, you will be required to apply for an adjustment of status or extension of stay from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service office that has jurisdiction over your place of residence in the United States.

House Dems fall short in blocking food stamp cuts
Thursday, July 12, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats fell short in efforts Wednesday to block cuts to the food stamp program as the House Agriculture Committee moved ahead on a half-trillion-dollar bill to fund farm and nutrition programs over the next five years.
The program that helps feed 46 million people at a cost of near $80 billion a year was the dominant issue as committee members tried to advance one of the larger and more expensive bills that Congress is taking up this year. Democrats insisted any cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program would result in people going hungry. Republicans said they were merely trying to bring efficiency to a program to ensure anyone who is qualified for food benefits will receive them.
The committee's draft measure would save $3.5 billion a year from current spending levels through such steps as ending the practice of direct payments for nonactive farmers and consolidating conservation programs. Of that, $1.6 billion in savings would come from tightening eligibility rules and ending abuses in the food stamp.
The Senate version of the farm bill passed last month on a bipartisan vote would save about $2.3 billion a year, with $400 million coming from the food stamp program.
The House and Senate must reach a compromise before the current farm bill expires at the end of September.

A Georgia truck driver was cited after his big rig flipped over in Jacksonville Wednesday morning, spilling a load of plywood alongside the highway.
It happened on North Marine Boulevard at the U.S. 17 Bypass just before 11:00 a.m.
The truck from CT Transportation of Savannah, Georgia dumped the plywood onto the road's shoulder. Police say the truck was making a turn from North Marine Boulevard onto the bypass when the load likely shifted.
Crews got the truck back on its wheels and then worked to remove the plywood.
Police say a company from Wilmington arrived on scene to clean the soil that was contaminated by diesel fuel.
Traffic in the area had to be detoured for several hours. The road reopened around 5:45 p.m.
Japonica Brooks, 30, of Savannah was charged with failure to secure a load. He was not hurt in the accident.

text: Home Culture Bush and Cheney Got Us Into This Mess Eugene Robinson at the Washington Post writes that the two have re-emerged just in time to remind us how their wrongheaded economic policies got us where we are today. By: Eugene Robinson Posted: Sept. 2 2011 5:21 PM 0 Former Vice President Dick Cheney (Getty Images) In his Washington Post column, Eugene Robinson writes that as Dick Cheney and George W. Bush walk the runway on their respective media tours, they should also revisit policies that brought the economy to its penurious state. Thank you, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, for emerging from your secure, undisclosed locations to remind us how we got into this mess: It didn't happen by accident. The important thing isn't what Bush says in his interview with National Geographic or what scores Cheney tries to settle in his memoir. What matters is that as they return to the public eye, they highlight their record of wrongheaded policy choices that helped bring the nation to a sour, penurious state. Questions about whether President Obama has been combative enough in dealing with the Republican opposition -- or sufficiently ambitious in framing his progressive agenda -- seem trivial when viewed in this larger context. Obama is tackling enormous problems that took many years to create. His presidential style is important insofar as it boosts or lessens his effectiveness, but its importance pales beside the generally righteous substance of what he's trying to accomplish.

McDonald's Corp. is replacing the head of its U.S. operations after the world's biggest hamburger chain reported its first monthly sales decline in nearly a decade.
The company, based in Oak Brook, Ill., says its global chief restaurant officer, Jeff Stratton, will succeed Jan Fields as president of McDonald's USA effective Dec. 1.
Fields, 57, is leaving after more than 35 years with the company. She was behind many major menu innovations, including the expansion of the specialty drinks menu.
After years of outperforming its rivals, McDonald's has struggled recently amid intensifying competition at home and a persistently weak economy abroad. In October, the company reported its first monthly sales decline since 2003.
McDonald's has more than 34,000 locations around the world, with about 14,000 in the U.S.

Crape Myrtles
Each winter I am dismayed by the severity in which crape myrtles are pruned. Chest high multistemmed trunks are often all that remain after a bout of heavy-handed pruning. Below are some tips that you may choose to follow the next time you prune your crape myrtles. The method detailed below can be time consuming, but the end result is a healthier and more attractive tree.
Example of excessive pruning
1. Crape myrtles can be pruned anytime they are dormant. In Wilmington, the window of opportunity is generally from late November until late March. Because crape myrtles are slow to break out of dormancy, you have a little more time to prune them than with other tree species. On the UNCW campus, we prune our crape myrtles between mid February and mid March so the trees can maintain their natural form late into the winter.
2. Start by pruning the 4 D's: Dead branches
Damaged branches
Diseased branches
Disarranged branches (ex. - crossing limbs)
3. Once the 4 D's have been addressed, additional tip pruning can be used to promote the development of new flowering shoots. We recommend you limit your pruning to branches that are no larger in diameter than your pinky finger. Cutting back larger diameter limbs does promote shoot development, but is not recommended. This practice creates a weakly branched tree as a result of all the new growth flushing from one point. The method also ruins the natural form of the tree.
Tip pruning
Additional comments
4. We remove suckers from the base of our crape myrtles anytime they develop during the year. � We typically try to maintain between 3-5 main shoots (stems) on crape myrtles. Single stem specimen trees are commercially available, but the tree's natural disposition is to be multistemmed.

Peabody students form Be Orchestra to "be involved"; will perform in a jail
A new ensemble called the Be Orchestra -- as in "be involved" and "be a part," artistic director Osvaldo Mendoza says -- has been formed by Peabody students and will debut Dec. 12 inside the Baltimore City Correctional Center.
Performing for "people who do not normally go to a concert hall" (or, in this case, can't) is part of the mission for this orchestra of 30-40 players, all of them volunteering their time and talent. Mendoza, a grad student in composition at Peabody, says the orchestra is focused "on the future, on hope."
Plans call for monthly concerts during the spring semester. June Choi, a grad student in flute, is the organization's executive director.
Although the inaugural concert will be heard only by those behind bars, the public is invited to a repeat at noon Dec. 13 at St. Ignatius Church; admission is free.
The new orchestra's music director, Simeone Tartaglione, a recent recipient of a Peabody Graduate Performance Diploma in conducting, will share the podium with grad student Gemma New. The program includes Beethoven's "Egmont" Overture and Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto (with Peter Kwan, a Peabody undergrad, as soloist).

Do Lent Generously Challenge
View SKIRNIR's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from SKIRNIR
Friday, February 15, 2013
Lent began on Wednesday with Ash Wednesday (Why do we put large ashy black crosses on our forehead and then listen to a verse that tells us not to draw attention to ourselves while we fast and pray?) and I signed up for the Do Lent Generously Challenge.
Day one asked us to set up a generosity bag of stuff to take with us and maybe share some of these items with others. I did this last night. In my bag is: coin change (My coin purse was overflowing. Maybe I can surreptitiously drop some coins in the penny cups at some local stores.), some combs that someone had given me at the local food pantry as a thank you for volunteering there and serving her, floss packets collected from my and my families many dentist trips, box of bandaids, two chapsticks, two bars of soap, 2 sample size containers of moisturizing cream (and no, not those cut open with scissors packs), a pack of ink pens, two little notebooks, two packs of chewing gum, a bag of wrapped chocolates and a box of granola bars. I will take this bag of stuff with me when I head out, but I have no idea if I will find anyone to give some of it to.
Day two asked us to do something to show we care about another person. I made the meal that my son had requested for Valentine's Day, even though my hubby was sick and only felt up to eating a small amount of it. (Which is an improvement. The two days before he had eaten very little, so yesterday was the first day he had some of his appetite back, but a bit of an upset stomach from the antibiotics.)
Have not read day three yet, which is today, but it is in my email. If anyone else is doing this challenge, would love to hear what you are doing.

About 500 potential Rattlers are marching around FAMU this week. They're part of the 15th Annual FAMU Marching 100 Summer Band Camp, and Thursday the middle and high schoolers got to strut their stuff.
Sitting in the hot, hot sun for picture time is just one challenge middle and high schoolers sign up for when it comes to FAMU's Marching 100 Summer Band Camp.
Dr. Julian White, director of the FAMU's Marching 100, says, "They get a wake up call at 5 a.m., on the field by 7:30 to 10:30, have lunch, back in ensemble rehearsal and then back on the field at night."
Add on a midday parade through campus. Forget band camp, this sounds more like boot camp, so why would kids travel across the United States for this rigorous schedule?
Jereme and the rest of these 500 students aspire to become marching 100 members. In its 15th year, FAMU band leaders say the camp is a major recruitment tool with almost 70 percent of current 100 members former campers.
This Saturday at 2 p.m. the camp will end with a marching band exhibition at Bragg Stadium.

More than one million people lost their unemployment benefits this past Saturday, due to the expiration of the emergency program that Congress did not extend. AFL-CIO Chief Economist Bill Spriggs says that although the extension will be costly, it makes sense for Congress to extend unemployment benefits and that Congress should focus on unequal income shares and raising minimum wage to make long-term effects on the economy. According to Spriggs, Congress should stop worrying about the profitability of companies and the national deficit and start taking action to keep as many people as possible as active participants in the economy.
"Right now the problem is not the profitability of American corporations," says Spriggs. "They're very profitable right now. They don't have enough customers. That's why you don't want to remove a million people from the customer lists of companies right now by stopping their unemployment benefits. They're making people disappear from the statistics because they're going to drop out of the labor market."
Listen to the entire exchange below.
Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton says that finding a job is no easy task, and the extension benefit for the long-term unemployed needs to be reinstated. The longer one is without a job, the harder it will be to find a new job because employers tend to place preferential treatment on those who are more recently unemployed.

text: Genetically-inspired algorithm could improve network security Science 16 February 12 by Olivia Solon Flickr.com/williamcho Computer scientists at Wake Forest University are using a genetically-inspired algorithm that proactively discovers more secure computer network configurations.Inadequate security configurations are responsible for a large number of security vulnerabilities -- up to 80 percent of those identified by the United States Air Force, for example. Computer science associate professor Errin Fulp and graduate student Michael Crouse were funded by a grant from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to improve defence mechanisms with minimal human interaction.Crouse explains: "Typically, administrators configure hundreds and sometimes thousands of machines the same way, meaning a virus that infects one could affect any computer on the same network. If successful, automating the ability to ward off attacks could play a crucial role in protecting highly sensitive data within large organisations."The system works by automatically adapting the configuration devices in a network, without the need for human intervention. Early simulations have shown that increased diversity of device's configuration improves overall network security, without putting undue stress on IT administrators.Fulp explains that cyber attacks tend to take place in two phases. In the reconnaissance phase, a virus observes the landscape, identifies possible defence mechanisms and looks for the best way in. If nothing has changed since the reconnaissance phase upon return, the virus strikes. However, making even the slightest change to the environment can make a huge difference in deterring potential attackers."Just as one might try to prevent a home robbery, our goal is to create a 'moving target defence' that detects cyber threats when they first case the house. If we can automatically change the landscape by adding the technological equivalent of security cameras or additional lighting, the resulting uncertainty will lower the risk of attack," explains Fulp.In a separate cyber security project with PNNL, Fulp and Crouse are training an army of "digital ants" to be released into a nation's power grid to look for computer viruses trying to attack the system. The digital ants mimic the way that real ants behave, using scent trails and swarming algorithms to detect cyber attacks. Wake Forest University is creating an academic centre dedicated to the study and teaching of bio-inspiration and biomimicry. Fulp explains: "Increasingly, conventional solutions are unable to scale to the information or processing required by the massive influx of data. Furthermore, the complexity of many computer systems will necessitate solutions that are more scalable, robust, and flexible than traditional methods can offer. Designs found in nature can serve as a source of inspiration, providing robust and efficient methods that are better suited to address these complex problems."

Of course, to listen to the critics, the citizen responsible for Ford's downfall is nothing short of a political assassin. How dare he bring about 'lawfare' to attack a man who brazenly broke the law and hold him accountable for his actions?
Not 'How stupid could Rob Ford, this person we trusted to lead us, be?' or 'After 10 years, how could he not have read the basic rules of his job?' or 'Why did he ignore all the advice from his political allies and friends?'
No, instead it's the citizen who slew the giant that's at fault.
And then it's all: How DARE they? Those citizens! Those simpletons! Can't they understand how the rules can't possibly be applied to
Or it's the "bad" law's fault.
(Incidentally, the same "bad" law that's been on the books for HOW long now that no other mayor has had any problem with?)
If there's one common theme in all of the political rancor that I've been following it's how indifferent our leaders have become to the rules and laws that govern them - or, in some cases, the blatant, bull-headed assertions that somehow they shouldn't be held accountable for their actions.
Those same laws that they so boldly swore to uphold when they took office and the public's trust.
The reality of the situation is that a good number of our leaders have squandered that trust - have played on our good natures or our busy lives so that they might have their cake and eat it too.
But we're catching on. We're waking up to their shell game.
You know, one of the things that I really loved about Occupy was that at the very heart of the movement was this:
The power is in your hands.
The time for waiting for permission; for others to tell you that it's okay to demand better of your ersatz 'leaders', is over.
You are the arbiter of your nation's fate.
If nothing else, I believe that it was the one sentiment truly driven home by Occupy -- and, I would contend, that it's the one thing that's continued to fester and grow beneath the skins of decent, hard-working people.
In fact, a recent Samara poll has shown that only 55% of Canadians believe that "Democracy is working well in Canada", down from 75% in 2004. (Where will number sit in 2015, I wonder?)
Now, unfortunately, we don't know if that has been a steady decline or if our nation's fallen off of a 'Confidence Cliff' in regards to our leaders... either way it doesn't bode well.
For our Government.
See, when things are going well everyone's happy to not rock the boat. But things aren't going well.
Our Prime Minister is slashing jobs and keeping secrets and aiding in the trashing of our National Environment -- and then there's that whole nagging question of whether or not the last election was legitimate.
(And that's just off the top of my head).
The murmur of frustration is growing again, especially as our PM prepares to ram through yet another Omnibus budget bill -- this one clocking in at 457 pages.
But the question remains: What will we do about it?

I'm sitting in my hotel room in Montreal, looking over my WorldCon schedule and planning some brilliant comments for my panels and wishing my phone would work outside of the US. I'll be getting a new phone soon, I assure you.
My poor wife is asleep, completely wiped out by two and a half days running all over Manhattan. I think the convention itself will be a welcome rest, since most of it will be spent sitting down in air-conditioned rooms. This is her first convention, and I think she's likely to remember it as five days of fatigue. Ironically, the thing that's fatiguing her the most is indolence; she can't handling not being productive for this long at a stretch. If you see her at WorldCon, and you happen to have a nearby garden in need of weeding, please ask her to help. It will pep her right up.
Also of note: hotel WiFi does not deal well with the stress of Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, and so on–anything with forms, essentially. I'll be lucky if this post makes it online intact.
What's the point of all this? I don't have one. It's the night before WorldCon, the calm before the storm, and I'm taking a moment to sit back and collect my thoughts. I'm going to pass out a crapload of buttons at this con. I'm going to hand out a few ARCs, too, and I'm hoping to sell a bunch of books so I don't have to lug them home again (I'll need the room in my bags for kid presents). By the end of the week, everyone who is not a serial killer will know that they have finally met, after a lifetime of lonely searching, a kindred spirit. It is a weary row I hoe, but I hoe it with all my might.
Okay, that was maybe a bit dramatic. I need to go to sleep.
See you tomorrow, WorldCon.

With one out in the top of the sixth, Donaldson hit what should have been a routine ground out to short. Nunez fielded the ball, spun around awkwardly and flung the ball well past Swisher, allowing the runner to advance to second. Pennington connected with a RBI single, and the A's had the lead once again. The Yankees had a few chances to get the run back, having two runners on in the bottom of the sixth, and with Martin taking a leadoff walk in the eighth. A-Rod just missed a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth, as the ball was just short of the wall in right. Cano struck out to end the game, with the A's taking the 5-4 win and the Yankees streak ending at seven games. Luckily, the Orioles fell to the Red Sox, keeping New York in first in the AL East.
I generally try to shy away from complaining about umpires. After a couple decades of playing competitive sports I have always felt that, while bad officiating can be incredibly frustrating and can no doubt have an impact on the game, it is usually on the players to make the plays, coaches to make strategic decisions, etc. I tend to find people who constantly complain about officiating to be tiresome. As an athlete you know you need to adjust to your officials, whether it is a wide strike zone or making sure you don't lose your focus due to a missed call. Today's technology may be capable of minimizing these officiating mistakes, but at this point it isn't being used so to act like it is would be fruitless.
That said, the umpires in this game did a pretty awful job. The strike zone was bizarre, whether it was A-Rod getting called out at a strike in mid-shin or Swisher watching a pitch completely avoid home plate and getting sent back to the bench. Did these plays (and others) impact the game? Absolutely, especially the call at first that resulted in an early 3-0 lead for the A's. Were the umpires at fault for the Yankees losing? Nope, Kuroda was not at his best and struggled early on, their defense (Nunez, I'm looking at you) was sloppy and they failed to capitalize on various opportunities throughout the game.
Bronx Cheers:
Eduardo Nunez: Nunez may have been yesterday's hero, but that will quickly be forgotten after his miserable performance today. He had two errors, one leading to a crucial run for Oakland. He also went 0-4 at the plate, stranding three runners, striking out once and picking up one RBI.
Alex Rodriguez: A-Rod almost came away as the hero when he almost got a ball into the short porch. Instead he went 0-5 with three Ks and a pair of runners left on base.
Hiroki Kuroda: The Yankees' starter went just 5.2 innings and gave up five runs (four earned) on seven hits, three walks and five Ks. He struggled to get strikes with his splitter and while he made some adjustments, it wasn't enough to get him deep into the game.
Curtain Calls:
Nick Swisher: Swish went 2-3 with a run scored, two RBIs, a walk and a homer.
Raul Ibanez, Derek Jeter: Both went 2-4, with Ibanez driving in a RBI and a double. Jeter drew a walk and gave the Yankees chances out of the leadoff spot, but they couldn't seem to bring him home.
The Bullpen: Clay Rapada, David Phelps, Boone Logan and Cody Eppley combined to give the Yankees 3.1 innings of scoreless baseball. Phelps gave up one walk and one hit in his inning of work, while Logan struck out two in his 1.1 innings.

@duxbak99: Wasn't that a first gen Galaxy and not the G2?
@juliown1028: The Walmart deal is on here with only 9 votes
Walmart currently has it for $20 cheaper, but with tax. $150 + about $15 tax = ~$165 + free shipping.
This is a nice tab. Jelly Bean runs great on it only you loose the IR blaster. Specs are not as good as the Nexus 7 but it has front and rear cams if that is important to you.
Pretty sure this is ~$170-180 new in more than one black friday ad this year.
@aldison: I'm not making line since Monday night and getting stabbed for $10 less, lolol :D
These will be $169 on Black Friday @Best Buy.......
@duxbak99: This has ICS already on it AND we are not charging you an extra $10
@duxbak99: That and you're taking a real chance when you buy from Dailysteals
I just bought a new one from Costco for 189$...of course there was sales tax on that.
Not bad, but the preponderence of decent tablets at or below $250 has really killed the refurb market.
Yesterday's deal from dailsteals basically beat it: Same specs in the 10.1, upgradable to ICS, for only $10 more. Of course, that deal's dead, so make of it what you will.
Good price, but currently NEW ones are $199.99 on eBay from Newegg with free shipping.

Columbus and Bartholomew County are moving closer to changing regulations about development in city and county floodplains.
Next week, the plan commissions for the city and county will act on the final recommendations from the Columbus and Bartholomew County Flood Regulation Study Committee.
The committee was tasked with reviewing floodplain regulations.
Some recommendations would increase regulations while others would decrease them.
If you go
WHAT: Bartholomew County Plan Commission
WHEN: 8:30 a.m. Wednesday
WHERE: City Council chambers, Columbus City Hall, 123 Washington St.
WHY: To act on the final recommendations of the Columbus and Bartholomew Flood Regulation Study Committee, and make a recommendation to the Bartholomew County Council.
WHAT: Columbus Plan Commission
WHEN: 4 p.m. Wednesday
WHERE: City Council chambers, Columbus City Hall, 123 Washington St.
WHY: To make a recommendation to the Columbus City Council.
A nice balance was struck between prohibiting certain development, but not being too restrictive, said Mike Ferree, the county's Purdue Extension agent and one of the committee members.
"We felt being able to have development where possible was important, but we didn't want to get into the position where we limited future growth and the future of the community," Ferree said.
One recommendation prohibits new development in floodways.
Another prohibits the construction of new critical and flood-sensitive facilities from locating in 500-year
However, expansions of existing facilities in the floodways and 500-year floodplains are permitted.
A 500-year flood plain indicates the ground elevation around waterways that floodwaters only have a .02 percent chance of reaching each year.
The Haw Creek flooding in the 2008 flood passed the 500-year flood mark, but flooding on East Fork White and Flat Rock rivers did not.
Recommendations to decrease local regulations would bring the city and county in line with regulations set by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
City Councilman Dascal Bunch, who served as the council's liaison on the committee, agreed that the recommendations strike a good balance.
"Everything they did I think is right on," he said.
Draft recommendations were presented publicly in the summer after the first hearing from the DNR, state climate office, local emergency responders and the Columbus Economic Development Board.
The committee members took in all the information and chose to what extent they wanted city or county regulations to exceed those of the FEMA.
The flood of 2008 that devastated large areas of Columbus and the county, and the discussion about the proposed outdoor sports complex project highlighted the need to further examine the issue of floodplain regulations, Ferree said.
The sports complex was to be built in a floodplain. Nearby residents were concerned about the impact of adding it into a flood-prone area.
A subsequent study of the Haw Creek floodplain showed that the sports complex was in an area that flooded in 2008. The project eventually died.
The city and county plan commissions joined forces to establish the study committee.
Restrictions passed in 2011 regarding construction in the Haw Creek floodway would supersede the committee's regulations because they are stricter, Jeff Bergman, the city-county planning director, said previously.
Passage of the recommendations requires a few more steps: The recommendations are being written into the form of a proposed ordinance amending the current flood hazard area regulations found in the zoning ordinance, Bergman said.
The city and county plan commissions will conduct public hearings on those proposed zoning ordinance revisions and make recommendations on their adoption to the City Council and County Commissioners, who also must pass them.
Committee recommendations
Final recommendations of the Columbus and Bartholomew County Flood Regulation Study Committee for Columbus and Bartholomew County:
- Prohibit new development in the floodway of all streams. Expansions of existing facilities permitted with DNR approval. Represents increased regulation beyond DNR, FEMA minimum requirements.
- Prohibit new critical and especially flood-sensitive facilities from locating in the 500-year floodplain. (Such as a nursing home). Expansions of existing facilities are exempt. Represents increased regulation beyond DNR, FEMA limits.
- Make facilities that are potentially harmful to water quality and public health as a result of flooding conditional uses in the 500-year floodplain. Expansions of existing facilities exempted. Represents increased regulation beyond DNR, FEMA.
- Support continued viability of buildings and uses in the 500-year floodplain, including the floodway, that are legal non-conforming ("grandfathered"). Represents decreased regulation. Follows DNR, FEMA minimums for structures damaged beyond 50 percent of the value must be elevated or flood-proofed. Also follows DNR, FEMA minimum that structures may be altered one time not exceeding 50 percent of their value before elevating or flood-proofing is required.
- Be proactive in updating maps to address specific known and/or suspected errors.
- Prioritize minimizing impact on flooding as a criteria in bridge design.

This page contains links to RSS and RDF feeds that I generate. Feel free to point your favorite news aggregator to one or more of them. I recommend a web-based tool such as Bloglines to view these and many more feeds.
In terms of content alone, there are five feeds that I generate: my blog, a screen scrape of the Wikipedia: Announcements page, a screen scrape of the Wikimedia News page, a screen scrape of the Wikipedia:Today's featured article page and a screen scrape of the Batter's Box site.
These are all generated automatically by b2evolution.
These feeds are experimental, and generated by a couple of perl scripts that I wrote. The LWP::UserAgent and XML::RSS modules were used, along with a lot of regular expressions to parse the text.
A warning note: these depend on publically-editable text. Therefore, these feeds will break sometimes. Since anyone can edit the text that will be scraped for this feed, it is possible that some objectionable content might be temporarily included in this feed. Normally, other Wikipedia users will revert offensive text, however this feed is automatically generated at fixed times throughout the day and so there is always the possibility that the content could have been vandalized at that moment. You have been warned.
I just pointed the code from the Wikipedia: Announcements page to the Wikimedia News page and it worked, since they are using the same format.
This was a fairly simple feed to make. A bit of copy-and-paste from the other Wikipedia feeds and some minor tweaks and it was working.
I decided to make an RSS feed of one of my favorite web sites, Batter's Box, a discussion and news site about the Toronto Blue Jays. This feed is fairly new (February 21, 2004) so if you notice any problems with it be sure to let me know!
This was generated by recycling most of the same perl code as the Wikipedia: Announcements page. It was actually a lot easier to do since the HTML was very clean and class tags made it trivial to identify the parts of the document.
I used to use Greymatter for my blog. I'm now using b2evolution, which I'm really happy with. Anyway, Greymatter does not come with a built-in RSS feed generator, so I created one using these instructions. Basically you just create a template file, make it a "connected" file (one which is updated automatically when you update your blog), and sprinkle in the appropriate Greymatter variables. This works quite well, although due to limitations in the templating software you can only include the last two blog entries in your RSS feed.
Other people have run into this problem as well and solved it using a variety of methods. Here's one solution that replaces one of the Greymatter files and here's one that is independent of Greymatter. I haven't actually tried either of these, but it looks like those both do the job.
Let me know if you notice a problem with any of these feeds at mark[at]jeays[dot]net.

I went to the Presbyterian church until I was seven years old. I do not recall ever hearing anything even resembling the gospel message. I have since found the Presbyterian Sunday School materials we were using at the time and discovered the gospel was never stated in them, either. The hard-shell Calvinist presumption is that you're either chosen or not, so there was no need to preach the gospel. They allowed anyone who attends to simply assume that they were Christians, whether they were destined for heaven or hell.
When I was seven, my mother pulled us out of the Presbyterian church while she was doing some home study with the Jehovah's Witnesses. Religiously, things had gone from bad to worse. My mother left the Witnesses behind but we never attended church again either.
I myself also studied with the Witnesses before I knew I was not a believer, from late 1987 to 1990. Though they thought they were living good enough lives to go to heaven, I knew that I could not. I suppose that is the first part of the true gospel message: God's standard is too high to ever achieve. Oddly enough, the JW's themselves thought it was achievable in their own strength and works, but God used them to bring the first half of the gospel to me: the realization in myself that I could not be good enough to ever satisfy God.
The two years after I had interfaced with the JW's, and learned I was not good enough for God, were a time in which God had to bring me low. I realized I did not know God and could not find him. I watched Billy Graham preach, and he told me to "accept Christ" which was meaningless. "How can I just work up belief in something?" I cried out. "How can I just 'accept' something that I don't know is true?"
I entered a period of depression, complete with panic attacks and phobias, knowing for a certainty that if I should die, not having discovered the truth about God, I was going to go to hell.
Then, a friend of mine named Harold Kemp sent me a Christian booklet. It told me that, if I wanted to find God, I had to first repent, which meant to change my mind about sin and self-effort and turn to God. I talked with Harold about this, and he counselled me to forget anything anyone had ever told me about God, and read the Bible to find out the truth for myself, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to me.
So, I started at Genesis and went through to Revelation wanting to answer one question: Who is Jesus Christ and can He save me?
There were a lot of things in Psalms that indicated to me that the Trinity idea about God might be true, but I still did not quite believe it. It was too vague a concept yet. But I was, for the first time, open to whatever truth God would reveal.
I read the Bible steadily for a couple of months. I began to get nervous as I came closer to the New Testament. By this time, I had read the NT multiple times, and had not understood for certain who Jesus was. It became rather stressful because I knew that, as soon as I made it into the NT, I would probably not see anything new that would settle the question for me. The answer had to come from the Old Testament.
God moved when I read Zechariah 12:10, "And I will pour on the house of David, and on those living in Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only [son], and [they] shall be bitter over Him, like the bitterness over the first-born."
I recognized that God was talking about Pentecost here, and that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were all in the same verse, and that the Father identified Himself with the Son when He said, "look on Me whom they have pierced." I finally realized with certainty, Jesus Christ really is God! And as God, Jesus really is able to pay for not only the sins of Adam (as the Witnesses teach), but of every person who will truly repent and believe in Him! In that instant, I was born again. I sat bolt upright and prayed with great joy to receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
In the time since I was born again, I have realized how wrong it was to ever even think that God was not a Trinity. As a person who would study with Jehovah's Witnesses, I thought God was only the Father, that Jesus was an angel or something, and that the Spirit wasn't a Person at all. But today I can't miss the truth in the Scriptures; repentance has taken the blinders away so that the Holy Spirit can reveal the truth.
People convert to religions like the Jehovah's Witnesses when they cannot understand the real concept of God: they need to reduce God to something they can understand and classify with ease rather than allow God to be what He is.
Of course, none of these things can be known if one does not actually know God. The concept of a relationship to God is absent from most religions, but is the bedrock of true Christianity. Jesus said, "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you do know Him, and have seen Him" (John 14:7).
To know God, one must seek the true God--not to enforce one's own limited view of God, as I had done in my first reading of the Bible. I learned nothing because I sought to reinforce my own deficient theology rather than hear what God was trying to tell me about Himself.
However, on my second reading through the Bible, I came in a state of repentance, not seeking to prove my views, but to truly come to know God. On this reading, God revealed the true essence of Himself to me. Since then, continued Bible study for several years has revealed increasingly more of the truth of Him, just as conversation would reveal more to me of a trusted friend.
That repentance is key--the turning from sin, unbelief, self-effort and self-sufficiency, and turning to God, and relying on God's effort and God's sufficiency to provide you with the information, the answers to your questions, and ultimately, for salvation from sin and death by grace through faith. If we do not come to God in a state of repentance, we do not come at all.
I rejoice greatly that I came to Christ in repentance at a young age thanks to the working of the Holy Spirit and the accurate witness of my friend Harold. If you are a believer and reading this, I would beg you never to share the gospel with Christian clichés like "accept Christ." You may know what you mean but the unbeliever does not. None of the great revivalists in history ever shared the gospel in that way. The revivalists all taught us to repent and believe the gospel, just as Jesus did in Mark 1:15. If you wish to be a successful evangelist, please understand that success is not getting someone on earth to "accept Christ" by mentally accepting your views; success is helping someone to actually go to heaven with you. The only way that will ever happen is if they repent. "Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:5b).

Looking to make hubby watch!
About myself
Looking for girls only, NO MALES!! Guys, stop messaging me, girls... start messaging me!
I'm a bawdy, busty married woman who enjoys the kink! I have quite a few sex toys and some bdsm stuff too ;-)
I love being taken!
As for vanilla stuff, I'm also a licensed bar tender, and a tattoo artist, so if you want some ink after our kink, I can also top it off with a drink.
lol, I'm also a silly type, as is my husband (also... he's REALLY talented with his tongue).
The person I would like to meet
I'd love to meet a woman who's very open to having a bit of NSA kinky fun with me. I am married and already found my soul mate, but the thought of being with a girl just gets me so wet!
I'm not looking to cheat or go behind anyone's back, so you'd have to at least meet my husband, and be open to letting him watch... and if you're really good, join in.
About my work
I've bar-tended a couple parties, and am working to expand my tattoo portfolio. Other than that I've done a few temp jobs to fund my passions... nothing big.
What do you like to do for fun/hobbies?
I LOVE reading! Especially kink stories and vampire stuff (not twilight!), I draw, and train in martial arts. Going out for drinks is fun.
My idea of a great date
My most vanilla fantasy is meeting a girl with my husband for a couple drinks, we talk, and laugh... see if there's anything between us, my husband will give me the nod and maybe excuse himself so you and I can talk and flirt... then, maybe we'd head out and kiss a little, get a bit turned on with some touching and biting. Then I'd have my husband drive us to a hotel while you and I get cozy in the back seat... we go up to our room and make him watch as you and I get naked and really start to set things off! I'd love for him to take me from behind while I'm licking your clit... and if you're a good girl and ask real nice, I might let you enjoy him too.
What is your fantasy vacation?
IRELAND... Guinness Brewery, Stonehenge, Jameson Distillery, hotel with private jacuzzi
What is your academic background?
I've had some college after graduating HS, enough to know degrees really only help in an industry where a degree is required.
What do you find attractive in people?
intelligence, wit... the personality and again, intelligence is much more important to me than looks. But a woman's eyes can be sssoooo mysterious and exciting!
What do others do that irritate you?
Criticize harshly! Having a sense of entitlement where it hasn't been earned.
What do you think is your best quality?
Physically, my husband says how my figure fits together, and breasts... he also loves my eyes and smile
I think my best physical trait is my smile.
Personality: my wit is pretty sharp, it sometimes stings people but I'm quick to try to make them feel better ;)
What one thing would you change about your personality if you could?
Confidence, I need more!
What one question would you want answered in an initial email from another member?
If this is really a free site... seriously I've been to 5 of these "100% free" places only to find out they're not!
Describe your physique.
I'm curvy, a little over weight but wear it well, my skin is a bit on the pale side but I tan up easily.
What do you do well sexually?
I can be very submissive during play. And I have GREAT oral skills... well for cock that is, I don't know how well I will do eating pussy so please, guide me and praise me when I do well, also if you're into it and I allow it, my husband is VERY good with his tongue and he's also a great teacher so maybe he can teach me how to eat you properly!
What is the favorite thing you like sexually done to you?
Making me have a lot of min-orgasms followed by so many big ones I can't walk!
I am a sensation slut, so petting, touching, dragging your finger nails down my skin, biting and a bit of sucking below my collar and around the g-string area will really drive me crazy!
What fantasy(s) are you still waiting to experience?
Quite a few... I would love to dominate another chic! As well as do her with a strap on!
I have one about being paraded about with very little clothing on at a S&M dungeon by my husband... not letting anyone touch me without his blessing, and then him having a woman flog me a little and get dominate with me.
What fantasy(s) have you already experienced?
I've been into the BDSM scene for a few years now and have gotten to do some pretty cool stuff. Taken with a bit of force (consensual but still taken and treated with a firm grip... and a hard fucking), tied up, blind folded...
Do you have any STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)?
None, would like to keep it that way!
Are you looking for a one night stand, to play for a while, or a long-term Adult relationship?
I don't have a time limit, one night stand for a fuck-ton of nights is fine. But if any "relationship" feelings start coming about by any parties involved, it will be completely cut off... I'm married and happy, and I won't share his heart or have my heart shared with anyone but him.

Alright, as my online game continues. Our heroes have discovered a lever and pulled it (oh how I love heroes). Behind the chapel's pulpit a hidden stair appears, descending into darkness.
Welcome to the start of my simple dungeon created in AutoREALM and "exported" via a print screen... this is ~15 minutes of work as I was consulting my simple Chapel to figure out how big to make the staircase.
I'll be expanding on this over my lunch hour today

Happy Birthday Dr Null
"This is Chip Chopper, high in the sky in the Channel Four Action News Copter!"
"There's a swarm of… what look like bugs, big metal bugs, crawling up out of the bay. Each one is as big as a car. They climbed right up the bridge tower, and now they're spread out across the road, right in the middle of traffic…"
Dr Null: Battle on the Bay Bridge was released two years ago today. Technically Dr Null's first appearance was in a game about three years before that, but this was the first time he was unleashed on the world at large, so it's evil birthday cake time!
I released it as a free download partially as a public service, because there was a crazy lack of intro adventures for M&M, but also because I wanted to showcase things like Action Shticks, Revelations, Silent Sound Effects, user-friendly stat blocks, annotated maps, GM cheat sheets, all that stuff — not to mention good old fashioned superhero action that was more about saving the day and protecting the innocent than beating people up.
I've heard from all sorts of people that played it (like this glorious evidence from the NC Game Day), but I have no idea how many gaming groups total have tried to save the Bay Bridge. Even now I see the same pattern every week: as Thursday and Friday roll around and the weekend approaches, there is a sharp increase in downloads. I like to think it's because every weekend there is some GM somewhere who really, really wants to run a game but doesn't have something ready. Dr Null to the rescue!
Have you played it? Did you save the bridge or hang your head in shame as it crashed into the bay? Pop in and take a bow.


text: I'm interested in getting into BMX, I've ridden mountain bikes up till now, but my friend bought a Redline Slant and it looks like fun so I wanted to try it. Only problem is I'm 6 ft tall, and 22 years old, am I too old and tall to ride BMX? And if I'm not, what would be a good bike for me to start on, I've never ridden BMX before, but I could spend up to $800 Canadian for a bike.

Four boaters had to be rescued Friday night when their boat capsized due to the rough seas.
Hyde County public information officer Jamie Carter tells WITN the 23 foot boat capsized late in the afternoon between Hatteras Inlet and Ocracoke.
Carter says the ocean current swept the boaters two miles to Ocracoke where they were rescued around 7:00 p.m.
A U.S. Coast Guard Jayhawk helicopter transported one of the boaters to the hospital in serious condition. Carter says the other three are O.K.

text: It appears like there might be a new tailor in town! Similar to the story 'The Emperor's New Clothes," this tailor might be trying to hoodwink some folks and pocket your money in the process. When questions are asked of city of Auburn employees (yes, our employees) and the developer of the proposed Baltimore Ravine project, often the answers include "trust me," "I'm so happy to hear from the community," "look at my project in Roseville," "we'll listen to everyone." If these platitudes and half-truths give you confidence that this project is being presented to you in a transparent and factual manner, you might just have fallen under the spell of the tailor. In Hans Christian Andersen's classic story, the tailor's "real" intent was to deceive, defraud and skip town, much richer for his efforts. Citizens, be wary and be aware! Remember, not every new idea is good one. Personally, I see little or no benefit to Auburn from this proposed project and "millions" of reasons for the developer to pursue the radical changes and impacts included in the proposed Baltimore Ravine project.

We're excited and proud to launch Thingiverse Apps. Learn More about what this means to you.
I made this Jack o Lantern for the MAKERBOT contest. It wold be a really cool project to print. Everyone who has tried carving a pumpkin has had a bad experience with carvings that just didn't come out how they wanted. With this project, you could design a cool, complicated design, or keep it simple. I made the carving with "MAKE:" cut into the pumpkin in honor or make magazine, and for an example of a carving. This could be a very fun project because you could design your own unique jack o lantern, print it, and go into further customization. You could use a RGB LED instead of a candle, or make it Arduino powered, sensing motion, and light LED's or play sounds when someone gets close to the lantern. The option are almost limitless. Also this project would help promote being GREEN because you could print one pumpkin, and reuse it year after year, unlike the generic plastic pumpkins that get trashed after use. Save the real pumpkins for pumpkin pie!
open: Blank_pumpkin_MAKERBOT (Requires 3DS MAX 7 or later)
design your carving, (making sure there are no floating pieces)
Select Pumpkin model
goto compound objects
boolean, select operand B
click your design to be cut
select the pumpkin mesh (probably renamed to boolean object)
goto Modifiers list and select "editable poly"
go back to compound objects -> boolean
select operand B and select "inside skin" (your pumpkin should now be hollow)
the bottom of the pumpkin isn't flat. Since each carving requires the pumpkin to sit in a different position, I left the bottom kind of round, and the designer of the jack o lantern should modify the mesh of the pumpkin to have it sit in the desired position for display
No results.

Nanoweb coating permits electric guitar strings with the feel, bright tone, and punch of traditional strings. Elixirs are the first major innovation in guitar strings in over forty years, and they deliver what they promise: great tone and long life no matter what you put them on or how often you play.
Elixir Plain Steel Strings are covered with an ultra-thin, space-age polymer tube that contacts the string on the tops of the windings only. This leaves the all-important winding-to-winding-to-core space free from the fear of the enemies of tone!
In addition to an ultra-thin grunge-resistant tubular coating on the wound strings, Nanowebs now have a revolutionary Anti-Rust plating on the plain strings to extend their life too.
Most players report that Elixir Strings keep sounding great 3 to five times longer than ordinary strings.
Combat twice as much finger grunge.

Comments about Elixir Nanoweb Heavy Electric Guitar Strings 2-Pack:
Good strings but this looks like a mess up on pricing. please don't be fooled. cheaper to buy two separate packs.
Comments about Elixir Nanoweb Heavy Electric Guitar Strings 2-Pack:
I have been using Elixer strings for about six years now. I have tried many other strings and I always come back to Elixer! The tone of these really do last longer than other brands of strings and they also sound great. The only bad thing I can say is I can never find these strings in heavier sizes at any music store! Aside from that slight inconvenience, they are worth the buy!

The Sheriff's Office in Dutchess County, N.Y., is at the forefront of law enforcement's social-media use. Instead of just sending out press releases, the office engages citizens via Twitter. Area law enforcement officials also use Citizen Observer to collect anonymous crime tips. However, some experts suggest that law enforcement officials' use of social media may raise questions about privacy and productivity.

Blu-ray Review: "The Muppet Christmas Carol"
'The Muppet Christmas Carol' (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy)
Brian Henson directed 1992's "The Muppet Christmas Carol" two years after the death of his father, Muppets creator Jim Henson, so it came at a time when the company was trying to prove it could move forward without the visionary leadership of its founder. By that score, "Muppet Christmas Carol" is missing much of the wit and energy that the elder Henson brought to his creations, choosing to follow Charles Dickens' original narrative rather than bending Dickens' words to suit the personalities of Miss Piggy, Kermit, Fozzie and Gonzo. While flesh-and-blood actors figured prominently in "The Muppet Movie," "The Great Muppet Caper" and "Muppets Take Manhattan," "Muppet Christmas Carol" suffers in part because of the odd distance between Henson's characters and Michael Caine's Ebenezer Scrooge. As forCaine's fabric co-stars, they are all performed well but with less of the manic charm that was brought to "The Muppet Show" and the first few films. Due to some postproduction tinkering that excised a key musical performance, "The Muppet Christmas Carol" is frequently seen as a truncated, compromised film. "When Love is Gone," a Paul Williams ballad sung by Belle (Meredith Braun) was removed allegedly because the ballad did not test well with children. When Caine's Scrooge tells the Ghost of Christmas Past, "Spirit, show me no more. Why do you delight in torturing me?" it is as if he is reacting without provocation. Even viewers unfamiliar with the song's history will notice the edit. It does not inspire the kind of fervor and furor that surrounded the often sliced-and-diced "Fantasia" for decades, but this is a sticking point for ardent Muppet fans who will continue to feel slighted by this new release.
— George Lang
