Hairy tales is the new Puzzle game from Arges Systems. In the game you play as the Titular 'Hairies', a group of Fae like creatures whose home has been infected by a vile corruption that has turned the once idyllic landscape into a dank, monster infested swampland. Using the power of mysterious crystal artefacts the Hairies endeavour to push back the corruption and return the world to the beautiful floating paradise it was before.
There's just one problem. They have the motor functions of an over excited toddler. That means no stopping and no turning unless a barrier is put in the way.
Luckily for the Hairies they have some kind of mysterious benefactor rearranging the world around them to make sure they don't fall off the edge in all the rush and the excitement to save it.
That's where you come in. As said benefactor you have to make sure that the hapless little buggers repel the corruption and make it through each of the games 72 levels in one piece.
Like all good puzzle games this starts off fairly simply. Rearrange the hexagonal tiles that make up the games world into a path that will get the hairy to the portal at the end of the level via the magical crystal to destroy the corruption. Then set the little guy off and watch him go.
As the game progresses the manner of traversing each level gets more complex. With the addition of arrows and fences that you can use to change the direction the hairy is running in and then later on enemies that must be avoided or attacked using Garlic collected earlier in the level.
The chaos is further compounded in later levels by having to shuffle tiles around after the hairy has been set loose. This adds an extra frantic dimension to the game play which can prove to be frustrating at times as the games controls struggle to keep up with the action unfolding on screen. However this does not detract at all from the satisfaction you feel from managing to figure out a tricky level and successfully juggling the tiles to get your Hairy to his destination.
As such the game is very much a case of easy to pick up and difficult to master. The game's simple premise belies an incredibly deep puzzle game that doesn't heard the player down a set path but provide them with the knowledge and tools to create their own solutions.
Coupled with these strong mechanics is a fun and quirky art style, simple bright cell shaded visuals and endearing character designs make the action on screen feel like a story book come to life. The Haires are as endearing as they are manic and the transformation of the world around them as they push back the gloom never fails to bring a smile to your face as the dark swampy tiles burst with life and the levels colour palette and lighting is transformed in a blink of the eye. The game also boasts a fun folky soundtrack which keeps the tone light.
If you're in the market for a good beard scratcher, I would recommend checking out Hairy Tales available now for iOS and PC

No, it hasn't. The Nazis were something else entirely. By throwing around the term "Nazi", you're minimizing and encouraging the world to forget what the Nazis did. A better world would be "communist" or "pinko" or something of that ilk.

I apolozige Daniel. I wasn't trying to undermine what Hitler and his German Nazis were like, but the U.S. has similarities to the old Nazi regime. The so called FEMA location centers for emergencies look similar to concentration camps. Obama signs Presidential Orders that take away our rights. Whether he be more like a Nazi or a communist or muslim state, it makes little difference because all three impede the rights of its citizens.
Comment by Jack Compton — December 29, 2013 @ 11:06 PM
The American government is like King Tyre. It believes it needs no God because they have believe they are a god.If you disagree with this government you run the risk of being jailed or murdered for free speech and openly protesting on the street against their policies or speaking out against the dictator Obama. If the government was Israel's friend it would standing behind Israel instead of making deals behind closed doors with Iran. The USA has become a lodging for vipers and the nest is in the heart of DC.

As a Christian I believe in Genesis 12:3 and Romans 1:16. If you are not a Christian then it makes no since to be a Zionist. Why should America place another country ahead of it's own best interest? It shouldn't and no one should think otherwise… However, I am a Zionist, I do believe in America protecting Israel, Romans 1:16

Hopefully Israeli leadership is listening. Israelis are saying no to more terrorist releases, and no to surrendering historically Jewish land and strategically critical land to her blood-thirsty enemies, and no to the Iranian regime's desire to incinerate her with nuclear weapons. Hopefully Israel's leadership will once again be wise and courageous in combating this latest attempt at destroying the Jewish state. When Kerry comes shoving these insane and suicidal plans in your face, please,just say no!

Jack, I'm as pro freedom and capitalism as they come, but comparing FEMA camps to concentration camps is foolish. One is an attempt to save people from natural disasters and the other is to incarcerate citizens in unnatural disasters.

Friday we went to dinner at Fratesi's, a kind of hole-in-the-wall Italian place minutes from our house. We had never been, and it was delicious! We were a bit rushed, because we were going to see:
This movie was INCREDIBLE! There is literally something in it that applies to every marriage. I was just really impressed with the storyline and how well it was done. I am praying that more films like this are made; Christians are craving it! Go see it and support this film!
Today we were supposed to have our pictures taken, but we changed our time to tomorrow. We ended up sleeping in and then decided to take a field trip to the pumpkin patch! At first I wondered if we would feel out of place because we were the only ones there without kids, but we definitely had the most stress-free time of anyone! Next year Evy will be 8 months old (wow), so this was our pre-baby trip :o) We loved it!

XFX HD 6850 review
Has the HD 6850 aged well now it has reached the budget graphics card market?
Has the HD 6850 aged well now it has reached the budget graphics card market?
A plucky little GPU that puts up a good fight at the lower end of the market
Factory-overclocked 3D cards, such as the XFX Radeon HD 5750 XXX, are a pretty common next step for most manufacturers when a GPU starts maturing, and it's no surprise. When your fabs have cranked out squillions of chips, the price-war between stock cards has stabilised and a new generation of cards is peeping over the horizon, there's the natural drive to differentiate and offer a little more performance to keep the GPU attractive.
As the very cheapest of the HD 5770s we've tested, XFX's offering grabs our interest. Shop around, and you can have one of these for as little as £116 – that's a whole £35 cheaper than Sapphire's offering, with its four-screen EyeFinity capability.
You'd hope a quality graphics card supplier would do a good job with an 850w PSU offering 80Plus silver certification and Nvidia SLI support.
The board itself is a standard NFORCE 680i job. That means it's stable and overclocks well, but runs hot compared to the latest Intel boards at similar speed. It does have an LED read-out for troubleshooting, though, which few of the P35 boards have.

Plymouth police arrested a father and son duo after they said the pair opened fire into a car filled with people.
Neighbors called police about someone shooting at kids in a driveway at 111 Roanoke Ave. around 10:40 p.m. Saturday, March 15. That home is just blocks away from Plymouth High School.
Officers arrested James Gallagher, 58 and Robert Gallagher, 21 of 107 Roanoke Avenue.
Officers said the shooting stemmed from an argument between Robert and two of three victims inside the vehicle.
Investigators said after the argument Robert went home where a few minutes later he and his dad came back outside their porch armed with shotguns where they began shooting at the 2000 Jeep Cherokee parked at 111 Roanoke Avenue.
The jeep was hit several times along with another car parked in the driveway. The three victims in the Jeep were not injured.
According to officials, Robert Gallagher was charged with one count of discharging a weapon into occupied property, three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of injury to personal property and one count of discharging a firearm in the city limits. He is being held on a $12,000 secured bond.
James Gallagher was charged with one count of assault with a deadly weapon, and one count of discharging a firearm in the city limits. He is in jail under a $1,000 secured bond.
Both men were placed in the Washington County Detention Center.

Jane Norton defends her support of Ref C
She explained her vote in favor of the Colorado Referendum C tax increases, referencing the state's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights. "Referendum C was TABOR in action. I was part of an administration that cut taxes 43 times…. But when revenues fell by 17 percent and we instituted across the board spending cuts, froze capital expenditures– all the things the governor knew would be important to get our budget on track and balanced, he decided to go to a vote of the people, and that's the beauty of Ref C: It allows you to do that. So the people spoke on that… I'm a strong supporter of TABOR… unlike what's happening with Gov. Ritter in circumventing the people's will."

Reject the myth.
"It's NOT Left vs Right,
It's the State vs You!"
This is my new favorite bumper sticker. It sums up all that is wrong with the political dialogue in this country.
All too often, even libertarians* fall into this trap. I routinely mock statists, and I do not care where the statists fall on the traditional "left/right" or "Republican/Democrat" line. Recently, I mocked statists Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow for their reactions to the election of statist Scott Brown as the new senator from Massachusetts.
Immediately, I was accused of being "pro-Republican" because I mocked two leftists. That criticism is a complete non-sequitur and is total tripe.
Worse than that, however, it shows how entrenched the "left vs. right" falsehood really is. Those that believe in the "left vs. right" myth honestly think that if someone mocks the "left" then they must be on the "right."
It is our job as libertarians to destroy this myth.
To that end, I no longer use the words "left" and "right." Using the words perpetuates the myth and gives the lie credence. I use the words "statist" and "libertarian." (Of course, the Nolan Chart graphically demonstrates the distinction.)
We, as believers in freedom and liberty, understand that both the "left" and "right" are statist. Therefore there is no need to distinguish the two. They are statist. We are libertarian.
Statists believe in the initiation of force to achieve political ends. Libertarians do not.
Statists believe in the power of the government over the individual. Libertarians believe in the power of the individual over the state.
Statists are wrong. Libertarians are correct.
I ask you all to join me in this mission. Refuse to acknowledge any important difference between the "left" and the "right." There is none.
Do not even use the words "left" and "right." Reject the lie.
Embrace the truth. Embrace liberty. Fight the expansion of statism, no matter what purported "direction" it comes from.
And let freedom ring.
*To my Republican friends on the PPC, in this article, the term "libertarian" could very well be read as a reference to the philosophy. I add this footnote in an attempt to head off the otherwise anticipated criticism of being "partisan." Of course, there is no place for partisanship on the PPC.

Big Government Republican Scott Brown
This was written by Justin Longo, Legislative Director for the Libertarian Party of Colorado. I am reposting.
Thanks to State Chair Dave Williams for highlighting this Washington Post article on the newly elected Republican Senator from Massachusetts Scott Brown. Little does the author know it, but this WashPost piece is a shining example of the failure of the left / right dichotomy and why the Libertarian Party should be taken seriously. Why? Just take a look at this:
"Scott Brown said he expects to be seated quickly in the U.S. Senate, but he was conciliatory on the question of what he will do there, noting that he voted for universal health insurance coverage in Massachusetts and wanted his election to encourage a new bipartisanship in Washington." [emphasis mine]
And this gem here:
"We're past campaign mode: I think it's important for everyone to get some form of health care," Brown told a news conference Wednesday morning. "So to offer a basic plan for everybody I think is important. It's just a question of whether we're going to raise taxes, we're going to cut a half at trillion from Medicare, we're going to affect veterans' care. I think we can do it better." [emphasis mine]
So here we have your typical socialist believing that every American DESERVES health coverage and that his version of socialism is "better.
Explain to me again what the difference between Republicans and Democrats are? Explain to me why voting for the "lesser of two evils" is any better than voting your conscience? As far as I can tell, we did get the lesser of two evils -- we got the one who believes he can coerce you "better."
Of course I'm preaching to the choir, but I think it is important to bring articles like this to light. I know how difficult it can be to be a Libertarian when everyone around you is encouraging evil and telling you your guy or gal cannot win. Do me a favor and bring this article up. Add this to your bag of tricks and don't let a socialist tell you that you favor a lost cause. Because the reality is simply this: supporting evil is ALWAYS a lost cause. You get what you deserve every single time.
Thanks for listening,
Justin Longo
Legislative Director, Libertarian Party of Colorado

The mainstream media – including Fox News, Limbaugh and the big-time media that calls itself "Christian" – would have you think that the grand battle is between the left and the right.
This is such a lie.
Here are some examples.
GW Bush outspent Clinton by $1 trillion per year and continued every last federal welfare program – and added a few of his own – and left-wingers hated him.
Obama has continued all of Bush's wars – and added a few more – and right-wingers hate him.
Left-wingers say they support civil liberties, yet look the other way while Obama continues with the Bush surveillance state.
Right-wingers say they support individual freedom, yet have no apparent problem with rogue police and the fact that America has the world's highest incarceration rate.
Left-wingers want us to panic and give up our freedom out of fear of global warming.
Right-wingers want us to panic and give up our freedom out of fear of terrorism.
Left-wingers say they are tolerant, but want to stifle public expressions of Christianity.
Right-wingers oppose Obamacare because it puts medical decisions in the hands of the government, yet they get their undies in a bunch about the idea of legal medical marijuana.
Left-wingers want to regulate how fast your toilet can flush.
Right-wingers want to ban online poker.
The left has its limousine liberals.
The right has its chicken hawks.
The left has Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, John Edwards and countless others.
The right has Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and countless others.
No matter which wing gets the upper hand in government, the result is the same: perpetuation of the welfare-warfare-police-nanny state.
As Butler Shaffer once wrote, "Left and Right are only two wings on the same bird of prey."
The hypocrisy is endless.
In the words of REM, elections anymore are just tournaments of lies.
As I wrote just before the 2008 election: "Ultimately, the same people run the show. They set up this false left-right paradigm and get people fighting endlessly over meaningless junk. There is a great line in Macbeth about "a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." The real problem is not the media, Washington, Hollywood, etc. The real problem is that so many people are so willing to believe what their chosen spinmeisters tell them, no matter how absurd."
The grand battle is between liberty and tyranny. I woke up to this in late 1991.
When will you wake up?

DENVER (AP) -- Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter does not have a staff photographer - but he has billed taxpayers more than $200,000 to hire outside contractors and pay for photographs, videos and TV ads promoting his accomplishments since June 2008, including videos of him receiving a "Father of the Year" award and a press conference naming his friend, Michael Bennet, to a U.S. Senate seat.

Iowa/Illinois Quad Cities - Metropolitan Community Church of the Quad Cities ("MCC QC") is a spiritual home for many that is currently without a home. "We sold our facility on Harrison Street and we are currently looking for the right building," says the pastor, Rev. Rich Hendricks. MCC QC is currently holding its 11:00 a.m. worship services at the TriCity Jewish Center. "In the meantime," says Hendricks, "we are still growing and seeking financial support for our ministries." The annual chili cookoff is the church's biggest fundraiser. This year the event is being held at Fargo Lounge in Moline and the public is invited to come and enjoy all you can eat chili and fixings and homemade desserts for just $5.
In addition, there is no cost to enter your chili in the contest, which is judged by three independent judges not affiliated with MCC QC. The church offers $100 for first place, $50 for second place and $25 for third place. Mary Todtz, event organizer, says, "I am really excited about all the items we have for sale, about all the fun we are going to have and about the excellent entertainment!"
There will be both silent and live auction items available for purchase, including everything from free oil changes to works of art. Entertainment this year is a free will offering concert by Christian artist Shawn Thomas.
MCC QC is a member church of Churches United of the Quad Cities Area and the Church is involved in feeding the hungry ministries and supporting the works of many area nonprofit organizations.
The annual Chili Cook-Off will be held on Sunday, May 5h beginning at 5 p.m. at Fargo Lounge, 4204 Avenue of the Cities, Moline, Illinois. Doors open at 4:30 and all entries must arrive by 5:00 p.m. to be included as the chili judging takes place promptly at 5:15 p.m., followed by a time of feasting and fellowship during which people can bid on silent auction items. At the close of the silent auction will be a live auction, featuring several special items.
For more information, please call the Church office at 563.324.8281.

Vision for Society
Written by: Anna Akasoy
The most prominent representative of Ismailism in the contemporary world, the Aga Khan, promotes a very different vision of society that is more characteristic of the modern, globalised world. The rise of the Aga Khans dates back to the mid-19th century when a member in a line of Imams recognized by Nizari Ismailis moved from Iran to India where a community of followers had established themselves. The current Aga Khan, the fourth Aga Khan and the 49th imam of the Ismailis, supports projects in a variety of countries and in areas ranging from development in rural areas, over health and education to architecture. The Aga Khan Development Network intends to support endeavors to improve living conditions regardless of the religion of the beneficiaries. Another example where Shiites have modernized their traditions and contribute to the wellbeing of society without confessional restrictions is the decision of a Shiite community in Ontario, Canada to donate blood during Ashura instead of simply shedding it.
While the use of charity in political propaganda is a widespread phenomenon, this has assumed great importance in cases of high-running confessional tensions. Both Hizbollah and the Mahdi army have successfully combined two themes in their propaganda: the defense against a foreign enemy (primarily Israel and the United States respectively) and improving the socio-economic conditions of their followers. Not unusually for a movement of political Islam, Hizbollah has established an entire network of charity institutions. In the aftermath of the war against Israel in 2006, they gained approval from many Lebanese for having provided help more efficiently than the government. Other parties in the country criticized them for having provoked the confrontation in the first place.
Study Questions:
1. What is the spectrum of activism in Shiite communities?
2. What is the Aga Khan and what role does he play in Shiite communities?
3. How does the Hizbollah serve the community?

Early breaks of 87 and 75 helped Fu take the opening two frames before Higgins responded with a century.
But further scores of 79 and 66 saw Fu coast across the finish line to set up a last four meeting with Gerard Greene, who edged an untidy affair with Mark Allen 4-2.
It is only the second time in a 21-year professional career that Greene has reached the semi-finals of a ranking event.
"The last few years have been pretty bad really, I've played great one day and terrible the next," Greene told World Snooker.
"I kept getting beat in deciding frames, and some players have been playing fantastic against me, not missing a ball. The confidence was zero at one point."
Judd Trump also booked his spot in the last four after battling back to beat Joe Perry 4-2.
Perry established a 2-1 lead with back-to-back centuries – including a 133 in the second frame – but Trump edged ahead by taking the next two.
And although Perry notched a half-century in the sixth, it was Trump who prevailed 66-56 to progress.
In Friday's late contest, Barry Hawkins beat Yu Delu 4-1.

Gwydion, in the Welsh Mabinogion, a son of the goddess Dôn, a master of magic and poetry and a somewhat dubious character. He assisted in raping a virgin servant girl of his uncle, King Math; for his punishment he was made to live as a stag, a sow, and a wolf with the rapist as his counterpart—the two producing children together. Later, however, he was the cunning protector of his sister Aranrhod's unwanted child Lleu Llaw Gyffes, probably the Welsh version of the pan-Celtic deity Lugus. Aranrhod gave birth to Lleu during a test of her virginity and Gwydion had to trick her into giving him a name and weapons, apparently the duties of a mother.

Sleeper Report: Breakouts
Alejandro De Aza – OF – White Sox
Already a bit of a breakout in 2011, Alejandro De Aza has the ability and talent to continue his breakout into the 2012. season. After his second half call-up, Aza batted .329 with four home runs, three triples, eleven doubles and 12 stolen bases with just 152 at bats.
Aza batted .322 in AAA Charlotte with nine home runs, five triples, 29 doubles and 22 stolen bases with 385 at bats before his call-up. In 2010, Aza batted .302 with five home runs and 16 stolen bases with 318 at bats (He was 9 for 30 in a brief call-up with the White Sox that year).
The statistics say it all about Alejandro De Aza: Consistent. His numbers in 2011 with the White Sox are not a fluke and there is no reason to believe that he will not continue it into the 2012 season. A 2012 season as a full-time starter should bring a .300 average, over 10 home runs, 10 triples around 40 stolen bases.

hi guys. Me and my husband have been ttc for over a year and finally got pregnant. based on lmp im 8 weeks 4days. i went to the hospital to have an ultrasound and transvaginal. the tech measured the fetal pole to be 1.4cm and measured to be 7 weeks and 5 days. tech told us that there was no heartbeat detected and wrote it off as fetal demise (fetal death) . i was adviced to get d&c. the md on call said my hcg levels were high and fetus must have died a day or two ago. i was sad and in tears but quickly composed myself and said 'everything happens for a reason and god has other plans for me'. i went to a ob-gyn the following day and he did a vaginal-pelvic exam and said my uturus is closed and he measured me only to be 6-7weeks. he said unless im not having Bleeding or cramping that i shouldn't worry because it may be still too early to detect a heartbeat!!! im totally confused, is there really still hope for me? i dnt want to have high hopes just to be crashed later. Any advice ladies?

They had a hard time finding mine at 7 weeks 5 days, and she told me before hand that it might be too early. I was so scared something had happened to my baby (My fear the whole time, I don't know why). I recommend getting your HCG levels checked, then tested again a couple days later. They did this for me to allay my fears, and it showed the levels were rising, which meant continuing life. Do this right away, it will make you feel better, as well as telling you which path to take. Good luck, and I am praying for you and your family.posted 02/03/2011 by alaska.amazon

The northern lights dance in a breathtaking display of purples and green in these stunning images by a night sky photographer in Alaska.
Astrophotographer Dora Miller of Talkeetna, Alaska captured the dazzling aurora images on April 20 during a nighttime photo session that she won't forget anytime soon.
"A very intense and colorful show of northern lights happened last night here in Alaska," Miller wrote in an email to Space.com. "I have been shooting auroras for many years but last night was a mind-blower." [See more amazing northern lights photos of 2014]

Auroras are caused by charged particles from the sun (the solar wind) that interact with the Earth's upper atmosphere (at altitudes above 50 miles, or 80 km), causing a glow.
The particles are drawn to Earth's polar regions by the planet's magnetic field resulting in aurora borealis, or northern lights, and its southern counterpart the aurora australis, or southern lights.

Missouri falls to another ranked team, losing to No. 7 South Carolina
Sunday, February 2, 2014
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — As if Missouri needed more obstacles to handle during this difficult stretch, the weather put one more in the Tigers' path.
The team bused to St. Louis when ice wouldn't allow them to fly out of Columbia, Mo., to another Columbia, South Carolina's capital city. Instead of a late afternoon practice Saturday and a leisurely dinner, the Tigers didn't arrive at their hotel until after midnight.
Just what you need when facing your fourth ranked Southeastern Conference opponent in your past five games.
Still, coach Robin Pingeton was proud her players didn't let their long travel day derail their strong second-half effort. South Carolina (20-2, 8-1 SEC) used a 23-6 run at the end of the opening half to build a 15-point lead and defeat the Tigers 78-62 on Sunday.
"I told them halftime that we can lay down and really embarrass ourselves or we can roll up our sleeves and go back to work and do what we're capable of doing," she said. "I thought the way we responded in the second half was very, very good."
Pingeton said South Carolina's size inside and accuracy on the perimeter put the Tigers (14-8, 3-6) in a hole they couldn't escape. But Missouri's felt like that a lot the past three weeks. The Tigers have fallen to Kentucky, LSU and Texas A&M — all ranked — in that stretch. They close this part of the schedule against LSU on Thursday before facing an unranked SEC opponent.
"As a staff, I think it's so important for you to have blinders on and not be evaluated just on this boxscore," Pingeton said. "I think that message has been pretty clear to our players."
South Carolina's message to the SEC about its staying power seems just as clear.
The Gamecocks reached 20 wins for a third straight season and moved into solo first in the Southeastern Conference with its victory. And they did it with 6-foot-4 prep star A'ja Wilson watching from behind the bench.
Tiffany Mitchell had 20 points to lead six Gamecocks with double figure scoring in a game that was just as much about wooing Wilson, the nation's top-ranked recruit. There were neon lime shirts with "There's No Place Like Home" on the front, a video featuring football coach Steve Spurrier, baseball coach Chad Holbrook and women's coach Dawn Staley delivering the same message and chants of "We want A'ja" from the students.
"Just the total atmosphere," Staley said. "If you're not moved by being in the gym, you probably don't want to play high-level basketball."
That's what Staley's been building since she arrived six seasons ago. The Gamecocks have won 25 games each of the past two seasons and seem on their way to bigger things this fall, taking over the top spot in the SEC after No. 17 Texas A&M fell at No. 16 Vanderbilt 71-69 earlier Sunday.
South Carolina had been tied for first with the Aggies.
Staley doesn't believe the lofty position will bother her team.
"Our team, they do a tremendous job of staying in the moment," she said. "I don't think we get too far ahead. Mississippi State is on deck (Thursday). We'll concentrate on them."
The Gamecocks — along with the rest of Wilson's final four of Connecticut, Tennessee and North Carolina — expect to find out her decision sometime after her season is over at Heathwood Hall high, just a few miles from South Carolina's campus.
Missouri cut a 23-point halftime deficit to 73-60 in the final two minutes. But South Carolina proved too tall, too strong and too fast to overcome.
The Gamecocks' 6-foot-4 forwards in Alaina Coates and Elem Ibiam combined for 23 points, 11 rebounds and seven blocks.
Bri Kulas had 21 points to lead the Tigers.
It was the second straight contest the Gamecocks finished with six players in double figures. Khadijah Sessions and Coates had 13 points each, Aleighsa Welch and Asia Dozier 11 apiece and Ibiam 10.
"Coach told us things would open up for us because people would focus on our post players," said Dozier, who had three of South Carolina's five 3-pointers.
Missouri has lost five of its past six, four of those to ranked SEC opponents.
"You forgot about the other three ranked teams," Pingeton joked when asked about the stretch. "It really has been a tough stretch, but no one's going to feel sorry for you. It's the SEC."

AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. -- A 49-year-old motorcycle rider is dead after running into an 18-wheeler.
The victim has been identified as John J. Dickert of North Augusta.
The coroner told News 12 Dickert was going north on Highway 1 near Duke Drive when he slammed into the rear of a semi truck stopped in the northbound lane. This happened around 10:30 a.m. Sunday.
Dickert was riding a 2009 Harley Davidson motorcycle. The driver of the semi, a 2006 Freightliner, was 59-year-old David Richardson of Aiken.
Witnesses say Richardson had stopped to allow someone out of the semi truck.
SCHP is investigating this crash also.
Dickert died at the scene. Toxicology is pending.

In this chapter, two empirical pilot studies on the role of politeness in dialogue summarization are described. In these studies, a collection of four dialogues was used. Each dialogue was automatically generated by the NECA system and the politeness of the dialogue participants was
systematically manipulated. Subjects were divided into groups who had to summarize the dialogues from a particular dialogue participant's point of view or the point of view of an impartial observer. In the first study, there were no other constraints. In the second study, the summarizers were restricted to summaries whose length did not exceed 10% of the number of words in the dialogue that was being summarized. Amongst other things, it was found that the politeness of the interaction is
included more often in summaries of dialogues that deviate from what would be considered normal or unmarked. A comparison of the results of the two studies suggests that the extent to which politeness is reported is not affected by how long a summary is allowed to be. It was also found that the point of view of the summarizer influences which information is included in the summary and how it is presented. This finding did not seem to be affected by the constraint in our second study on the summary length.

Do we have to take our baby places with lots of people?
I am a stay-at-home-mom. My 4 month old doesn't like lots of people or to be around crowds with lots of noise. He also doesn't like to travel far in the car. My family is having a get-together this weekend at my parents' house, which is 3 hours away. We decided not to go because our baby will probably scream the whole time and it won't be much fun. But everyone keeps telling us that "he has to get used to people" and "he needs to get used to riding in the car." Why would we want to listen to him scream the whole time and put him through that? Anyone else have this issue? Why do people think they need to tell us how to raise OUR child?

Oh people, I wish all the opinions came with a check, at least that way I could get something good out of that!!! Do what is best for your child, I agree you don't want to let your little one screaming all the way and then get stressed with all the people trying to touch him, etc. I also stayed with my little boy until he was 9 months old, he saw the "public" after six months. For me, babies need their time to adapt to the new environment and bond with you (not the whole planet) they need silence, peace and reassurance from their parents. I never forced him into social gatherings or anything, everyone told me it was wrong, that he needed to be with other people, bla bla... Now he is starting to go out and stays with a nanny and he is fine! he smiles to everyone and is a social butterfly. So do what you feel is best for your baby and everything will be all right!posted 12/27/2012 by pixie63

I'm new to the forum ... but not new to aquarium fish!!
Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd say "hello" to the community. I've been in the hobby for a few years now keeping both freshwater and marine.
Hope to get some tips and provide assistance where I can ... I especially like helping people new to the hobby.
"See" you on the forum!
Welcome to the forum, ecooper. Glad to have you join us. :-D
welcome to the forum eddie.
care to share more about your saltwater setup? size, lights, flow, filtration, livestock and anything and everything in between?
Hello and welcome to FishForum.
A year ago I set up a 55 gallon tank with live rock (for natural biological filtration), sump mounted protein skimmer, several jets to keep the water relatively turbulent (really important ... basically the stronger the better), 4 x 48 40 watt bulbs (for the corals to photosynthesize) and aragonite to keep the tank buffered at the correct pH.
After cycling the tank for a couple of weeks, I introduced a couple of fromia stars and then a couple of weeks later added some cardinals, clownfish and damsels.
Nano reefs arent really difficult to maintain however they do require plenty of initial planning. Definitely can recommend getting into it ... even if you start small like I did.
that sounds like a pretty nice setup. what brand/model skimmer? im guessing your lights are T5s? how long has the 55 been up and running now?
just so you know, corals dont photosynthesize, i guess you can say its some what like photosynthesis however corals have a simbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae which is an algae. the light grows the algae and the corals eat it. some corals get their energy strickly from light, some from catching food particles in the water and some do both. the "jets" are called power heads and you are correct flow is very important. not only is sand a natural buffer but a deep sand bed will allow for denitrofication. sorry for getting technical but i wanted you to have a heads up as well as anyone following along in this thread. i for sure agree 100% that it is important to have prior planning before setting up a saltwater tank. is it possible to get pictures? :-D
hello and welcome,good you have you here. :)

Legal agreement may save mountaintops
West Virginia environmental officials can no longer hand out mountaintop removal mining permits as freely as they have for years.
A legal agreement in a federal lawsuit, reached late Wednesday afternoon, places new limits on mining operations that strip mountains away to unearth coal from a dozen or more different seams.
Both environmentalists and federal officials called it a "landmark settlement."
W. Michael McCabe, a federal Environmental Protection Agency's regional director based in Philadelphia, said, "This agreement will change the way mountaintop mining is conducted in West Virginia and every other Appalachian state."
McCabe called it "a very significant step."
Cindy Rank, past president of the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy, said state Division of Environmental Protection enforcement has been "a travesty."
"Minimum federal standards have been routinely violated for years. The federal Office of Surface Mining, which is supposed to oversee and prevent these problems, has completely dropped the ball. It is time now for major reforms at DEP."
McCabe said, "We have agreed to have a unified federal policy that will coordinate mine permit activities with EPA, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Office of Surface Mining and the West Virginia DEP.
"We will in fact streamline the permitting process. We will hold these mines to much higher environmental standards in the future," McCabe said.
In recent years, rock and soil removed by mountaintop removal have filled up, and destroyed, more than 1,000 miles of streams in Southern West Virginia alone.
Under the new agreement, federal agencies will:
Prepare a comprehensive environmental impact statement about the entire mountaintop removal process.
Immediately halt routine approval of all mountaintop removal permits.
Require complete environmental assessments for all mine permits larger than 250 acres. Many mountaintop removal permits are larger than 1,000 acres.
Norm Steenstra, executive director of the West Virginia Citizen Action Group, called state DEP enforcement "absolutely inept. There was a lack of desire to enforce the law. There was a complete failure to examine the social, economic and environmental costs of mountaintop removal mining."
Rank said, "The federal government agreed with us that business as usual poses unacceptable environmental risks and cannot continue."
McCabe, in a telephone interview, said, "Our policies were kind of fuzzy, to put it mildly. We have agreed to conduct a comprehensive environmental assessment over the next two years about the impact of mountaintop mining and valley fills....
"For new mines that will be permitted, there will be higher standards to make sure environmental impacts will be reduced and that environmental damage will be mitigated properly."
Rank and Steenstra both objected that the agreement exempts one major application from the new strict standards - the Spruce Fork permit application from Arch Coal Inc.
Rank said, "The government has sacrificed the public interest and the citizens in the town of Blair to the economic interests of a single, powerful mining company."
Arch Coal became West Virginia's top coal producer in June 1996 when it merged the operations of Arch Mineral Corp. and Ashland Coal.
The Spruce Fork mine is located near the Boone-Logan county border. Dal-Tex Mining, owned by United Coal of Bristol, Va., began that mining complex in the 1980s.
McCabe said the Blair mine was "a lightning rod for a lot of concerns. But we got significant concessions from Arch Coal.
"They wanted five valley fills. They agreed to completely eliminate two and significantly reduce the size of two more. They also shrunk the life of the mine from 13 years to five years."
James Weekley, one of the plaintiffs, was upset. "The new policy is likely to help in the future. But it doesn't protect Pigeonroost Hollow, where my family has lived for over 200 years."
The agreement allows Arch to fill up Pigeonroost Hollow with waste rocks from the new mine.
McCabe stressed, "Any future mines will have to go through a rigorous permit review."
McCabe said the agreement also requires the state DEP to "work with federal agencies to insure the permitting process works properly."
Lawyers from the U.S. Department of Justice signed the agreement on behalf of federal agencies on Wednesday.
Wednesday's settlement resolves three claims in the lawsuit filed in July by the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy and 10 coalfield citizens.
Their lawyers include Charleston lawyer Joseph Lovett and Morgantown lawyers Patrick C. McGinley, Suzanne M. Weise.
Twelve additional claims remain unresolved in the lawsuit pending before U.S. District Judge Charles Haden.
Rank said, "The plaintiffs will continue their case against DEP to vindicate the citizens' rights guaranteed more than 20 years ago when Congress passed the federal Surface Mining Act."

Got talent?
Susan Boyle's appearance on Britain's Got Talent drew snickers until she started to sing ... and then wow. For most, the moral of the story is "Don't judge a book by the cover."
But Chicago Tribune columnist Mary Schmich asked: "What if Susan Boyle couldn't sing?" Her response: "She'd still be the kind of person some people avoid sitting next to on the bus. ... What's the lesson? That we shouldn't make fun of odd people because they might have talent?"
Schmich then tells about her sister who has struggled with a disability all her life but doesn't have a "dazzling talent. She can't sing or dance. She paints and draws in ways that move me but elude the multitudes." Her sister often feels "different."
The column concludes: "The lesson I'd hope we take from Susan Boyle is that people deserve respect, however strange they are, even if they don't have talent."
I'd like to add to that: Respect all and don't judge a person's talent or gifts. After all, doesn't God give everyone gifts and talents to share—even if they aren't considered "normal"? Do you know such people?

Heather to snub actor loveHeather Graham has reportedly vowed never to date another actor.
The 'Boogie Nights' star - who previously dated 'Brokeback Mountain' star Heath Ledger - is fed up of romancing people in the same industry as her because the relationships don't usually work out.
The star, who has reportedly also previously dated handsome 'Traffic' star Benicio Del Toro, said: "In the past I've tended to date creative people. So I think it's time I branched out."
Earlier this year, Heather revealed he ideal man ideal man must be snugly - because she likes to laze around in bed at weekends.
She said at the time: "I am a champion sleeper... I sleep as long as possible at the weekend. I love lots of pillows and duvets."

text: Home Culture Dennis Rodman and Other NBA Stars Arrive in North Korea The former NBA All Stars are in the communist country to play a game for leader Kim Jong Un's birthday. By: Breanna Edwards Posted: Jan. 6 2014 12:40 PM 0 Former NBA player Dennis Rodman prepares to check in for his flight to North Korea at Beijing's international airport. WANG ZHAO/AFP/Getty Images Dennis Rodman and a group of ex-All Star players—including Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson and Vin Baker—have arrived in North Korea as they prep for Wednesday's game against a home team in honor of leader Kim Jong Un's birthday, which is believed to be the same day as the match. Rodman, who considers Kim a "friend," told the Associated Press that he has received death threats for his repeated visits to the secretive country, whose regime regards Americans as enemies. However, Rodman has been a staunch defender of his friend Kim and the country. "The marshal is actually trying to change this country in a great way," Rodman said of Kim, according to the AP, using Kim's official title. "I think that people thought that this was a joke, and Dennis Rodman is just doing this because [of] fame and fortune. "Just to even have us here, it's an awesome feeling. I want these guys here to show the world, and speak about North Korea in a great light," he added. "I hope people will have a different view about North Korea." Tensions are still high, however, as the totalitarian regime has threatened to use its nuclear weapons. Kim also recently executed his second-in-command (and uncle) for allegedly trying to overthrow Kim. However, it seems that at least some of the ex-NBA teammates are upbeat about the trip. Charles Smith, a former Knicks player, voiced his hope that the game could lead to a better relationship between the two countries. "It's new being here, but overall the concept is not new," he told the AP. "The team is made up of a lot of guys who really care. That's the most important—it's not about bringing Dream Teamers. It's about guys who are coming that want to be a part of this, that care, and really that care about humanity." Read more at CBS News. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.
