RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Legislative negotiators trying to reconcile two widely differing transportation funding bills say an agreement between them is possible, but finding one that can win final passage is still a tall order.
Five delegates and five senators were huddling for the third time Monday evening with both parties reporting headway toward a possible handshake deal by Saturday's General Assembly adjournment.
For the House to accept it, however, Republican Del. Chris Jones says Senate Democrats have to allow about five times more existing sales tax money to be used for transportation than the Senate bill now allows.
And Democratic Del. Onzlee Ware says House Republicans and Gov. Bob McDonnell must accept keeping at least some of the state's gasoline tax in place.

Selle Italia Flite Team Edition Saddle $0.00
Selle Italia has been building some of cycling's finest saddles for over a century. So, when its team of professional cyclists finally received the opportunity to leave their mark on a saddle, we knew that it was going to be special. The Selle Italia Flite Team Edition Saddle takes the mid-width and moderately padded Flite shape, and gives it tubular titanium rails and a Lorica cover. So, along with a time-tested shape and proven comfort, you also receive the durability to match. Ultimately, this places the Team Edition as the rightful heir to the Flite throne.
The Flite starts with a mid-width, carbon-reinforced nylon composite base. And, if you're wondering what the composite percentage is, it's 30% carbon fiber and 90% nylon. This is around 20% less carbon fiber then what's found in the SLR line, but around 20% more than what's found in the traditional Flite. This extra bit of carbon adds to the support, while enabling a natural flex that neutralizes road and trail chatter. In terms of dimension, the tail is 130mm wide, just a millimeter narrower than the original 1990 Flite design, and it's 14mm wider than the SLR.
To boost the comfort, the Flight receives more padding than Selle Italia's SLR line of saddles. However, it's worth noting that this isn't a couch. Instead, it was designed to be a responsive saddle that's well suited to racing and all-day rides. Furthering this concept is the Flight's quick-drying and breathable Lorica cover -- the same material found on a majority of SLR saddles. Additionally, it has the added benefit of being non-abrasive and low in friction, meaning that your shorts will slip right by instead of catching and chafing.
The Flite rests on Selle Italia's TI 316 Tube titanium rails. These rails provide plenty of strength, and just as importantly, without stacking on the grams. They also feature the additional benefit of vibration absorption, meaning that you'll experience less numbness of long rides.
The Selle Italia Flite Team Edition Saddle is available in a 130x275mm size and in the color Black. Please note that this saddle is approved for both off-road and road use, and that it has a claimed weight 220 grams.

American essayist Hamilton Wright Mabie once said of Christmas, "Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love."
With the Christmas season upon us, there are several such conspiracies afoot in Lancaster County, all of them aimed at bringing joy to struggling families.
And this year, there's a lot of people struggling, organizers say – more than any time in their recent memory.
Eric Montgomery spent most of Tuesday cleaning up the remnants of a building he owned on Great Falls Highway.
Sifting through the rubble, Montgomery stopped to pick out shards of window glass and pieces of steel from the frame. He said the auto body shop building at 1981 Great Falls Highway was a complete loss after a fire burned it down on Monday. He had rented it to two tenants.
"Shoot, it's flat on the ground," Montgomery said. "We're just out here today (Tuesday) cleaning it all up."
The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office is looking for five men in two armed robberies that occurred during the last week.
The first robbery occurred Dec. 1 at the Stop-N-Shop at 2147 McIlwain Road.
At about 9:40 p.m. that day, three men armed with handguns entered the store and demanded cash from employees, according to a sheriff's office press release.
One woman involved in the two-vehicle accident on North Park Drive last week is back home while the other woman remains hospitalized.
Lancaster residents Amber McManus and Jesse Reynolds were riding in a Nissan SUV that was struck by a tractor-trailer truck Dec. 1 at the Lancaster city limits, just off Monroe Highway (S.C. 200).
The women, both 18, were flown to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte for their injuries.
A hospital spokeswoman said Tuesday afternoon that McManus remains in critical condition. Reynolds was released Friday.

The Christmas season will come marching into Lancaster County on Saturday, with parades scheduled for Van Wyck, Kershaw and Lancaster.
Van Wyck kicks off its Christmas celebrations first with a parade at noon, with Santa and Mrs. Clause at the helm.
This year's parade begins at the post office at Old Hickory and Steele Hill roads. The parade will travel down Steele Hill Road to Van Wyck Road, to Rebound Road, to Old Hickory Road and end at the Van Wyck Community Center.
A recently adopted state policy on college funding will not affect plans for a new classroom building at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster.
Earlier this fall, the state's Budget and Control Board, which includes Gov. Mark Sanford, imposed a moratorium on new building construction on state college campuses if a college increased tuition by a certain amount for 2010-11.
Four-year colleges could not raise tuition by more than 7 percent and regional colleges, such as USCL, could not go up by more than 6.3 percent.
INDIAN LAND – When spring arrives, buds will begin to form on the branches and not long afterward, bright-red leaves will dominate the landscape at Indian Land High School.
That visual will come courtesy of a red maple tree, which was planted outside the school Friday afternoon. The planting ceremony was part of the annual Arbor Day celebration held by the Lancaster Soil and Water Conservation District.
Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce
Volunteers in Lancaster County have a positive impact on the community.
In a program begun more than 20 years ago, the Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce looks forward to calling attention to all local volunteers by honoring one special volunteer at its annual meeting.
The two most recent recipients were Polly Jackson, who received the honor earlier this year, and Richard Patterson, who received the honor in 2009.
The chamber is now taking nominations for 2011 Volunteer of the Year.
County Councilwoman Charlene McGriff leaned forward in her seat and raised her voice Tuesday as she searched for answers about the Lancaster OneStop center.
With her hands in constant motion, McGriff vented some of her frustrations about the local S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce office, specifically about concerns she's heard from constituents who haven't been able to get jobs through the center.
JoAnna Croxton is thinking back on good moments she's shared with Jesse Reynolds.
They both graduated from Andrew Jackson High School and are still good friends.
Croxton most recently saw Reynolds and her friend, Amber McManus, last week at Los Mariachis restaurant in Lancaster.
Now Croxton is wishing the two Lancaster women a speedy recovery.
McManus and Reynolds were injured in a two-vehicle accident Wednesday afternoon on North Park Drive in Lancaster.

Education Bill Debate Becomes Fight Over How to Hire Teachers
March 4, 2013
CHARLESTON (AP) — Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's bid to rewrite teacher hiring practices has sparked an early battle as the Legislature wades through his proposed overhaul of West Virginia's public school....
@Triton: There is a U.S. Dept of education report that shows the chance of success for different age groups. 3-6, 7-10, 11-14, 14-18, 19-22 for all states. WV ranks near last in 19-22. BUT in 3-6 it is actually just above the middle! Each group there after sinks lower and lower. If parent were the main cause, 3-6 would be low. Parents in WV actually do not do so bad readying their children to be successful. It is after they hit the school system that things go down hill.
I am sick of all the lame excuses. Its the parents. Its the money. Its the curriculum. Its the books. BS Its the unions and the lousy teachers it protects. God bless the good teachers. It only takes 2 bad teachers in K-6 and a student will not be able to recover.

@Mattis: You are drinking the kool-aid of deception dished out by those that benefit from the system as it exists (obviously the students are not the ones that benefit. The information you spout does not take into account student achievement before and after school choice implementation. Only after. When a School Choice Voucher System is introduced, BOTH choice student and public school student achievement INCREASES. So YES you are right. Student achievement after school choice is pretty equal BUT AT A HIGHER LEVEL. Without school choice voucher competition, it would NOT have improved. You spout the deceptive spin (spin used to be called lies a few years ago).
In fact in Florida, when school choice vouchers were temporarily stopped by a court suit, so did student achievement improvement. Most studies do not look at before and after student achievement as detractors know they are sunk if the truth gets out.

There are many problems with education in WV and flashing stats around does not help. Teachers are paid less than in nearly every other state..is meaningless as the cost of living is different in other states so asking that a teacher be paid what teachers are paid in Oregon or California is absurd. It is true that WV spends more per student on education than nearly all other states BUT test scores are down. Is it teachers? perhaps a little, is it administration? perhaps to some extent. Parents? Probably the most significant element. If parents don't value education kids will not either and there are many moronic parents who don't care, or say they ain't got no schoolin and they are doin fine on benefits and pass that on to their kids. Schools are forced to be massive social service agencies, private schools are not and can stress education and bounce the ones who don't conform. Public schools need to be able to remove the problem kids and have room to educate, not babysit thugs.

Ok, where is this pocket lining, WVA teachers are paid LESS than 48 other states, and retirement pay is modest [ no GOLDEN PARACHUTES here] I know from experience. Vouchers and School Choice [ mostly from wealthy parents expensive private schools] has been proven NOT to improve scores over a three year period- then they decline to about the public school average. Most vouchers supplement large tuition fees and make little difference in where students go. I you cant afford a private school [ In Wheeling the can cost up to $8k/year] a modest voucher is not going to change your choices.

In Ohio, underprivileged public school students were the biggest beneficiaries of school choice competition. After school choice was introduced, their achievement improved more than even the school choice students who were reported to be more privileged.
At about $12,000 per year per student that WV public school systems spend, it makes a lot of sense to let private schools into the picture when they spend about half that amount for better student achievement results.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
West Virginia spends more per student than all but 4 other states. Someone is benefitting from all this money, but it is not student achievement. Studies show that competition from school choice vouchers that follow the student, becomes the low cost motivation that finally gets the public schools to improve student achievement by 20% to 27% on average. One public school in Florida improved student achievement by 69% after such a system was introduced. School Choice is the Right Choice.

Every new governor has their ways to help public school education in this state, and none of them work. One of the highest dropout rates in the country, while the teacher's union(s) keep the teachers pockets lined.

I am a new Zimbra user for my personal domains and I like it so much I'm thinking pushing my company to the network edition (~50 employees, using and not liking Scalix) however I am an established Funambol user for my phones. i have the IMAP connector working with Zimbra however in talking with Funambol they said a Zimbra connector is in the works. I was thinking of using the Web Services Connector to build my own as time permits but since I found indications of a Zimbra connector from almost a year ago I hope it's near release.
I want to offer some beta testing since I have Funambol and Zimbra stood up and running. I'm excited to try it since it will bring together all of my devices and desktops, please reply or email if this is a possibility.

GERD and Heartburn Medications
What Is Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)/Heartburn?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition that causes the esophagus to become irritated and inflamed because acid (gastric juices) from the stomach and also duodenal juices (for example, bile, pancreatic secretions) leak back or reflux into the esophagus.
Heartburn is an uncomfortable but common feeling of burning or warmth in the chest. Although the burning associated with heartburn is felt in the chest, it has nothing to do with the heart. Instead, heartburn is a typical symptom due to GERD.

First of all, I know nothing about Nebraska antelope.
My only advice for you is to change your name before you get banned.
Just moved to Nebraska and figured out I can hunt Antelope, which I am very excited to do!!! I have a few questions for those who have hunted in Nebraska for antelope and wondered where they went, how they hunted, and do they have any suggestions.
I am looking to start hunting them next year as this year is too busy just after the move. I am looking to try and get a muzzleloader tag to start with then work my way to archery. I figured the first year I will try muzzleloader cause I can extend my range to 250 yards or so which will give me a better chance of harvesting one. Along with learning the terrain and pattern of the antelope.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to learning a lot on this site. I am a new member and hope to learn all there is to learn about hunting the Eastman's way.
Long Range Hunter
First of all, I know nothing about Nebraska antelope.
My only advice for you is to change your name before you get banned.
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
Unless you are a land owner you will probably have to send in for two years to get preference points, sometimes you will draw with just one point but usually takes two, and you should draw on the 3rd year, same with rifle. You can buy archery tags over the counter or off the internet from the game and parks and can hunt with a bow every year. You can hunt statewide with a bow tag also.
I guess some advice would be to have a good pair of binos and a good spotting scope, and lots of patience. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes not so much. Muzzleloader is good time to go because it's the middle of sep. so they are usually rutting pretty hard then. Tags aren't that much so I guess if you are waiting on your muzzleloader tag, you could get a bow tag and go find some ground and stomp around next couple years getting a feel for the country and how the goats act.
Zero public land but nearly all land owners in the panhandle despise antelope. If you're personable, then find antelope and figure out who owns the land from the county.
Thanks guys for the replies, still learning Nebraska's seasons and laws so your informations helps a lot.

I am hoping to learn a lot on this forumn and so far my first impressions of members on here isn't a good one.
Long Range Hunter
Elkoholic307, Well I know were from the same "basin", but my god did you have to come in on this guy like this?! thats what pisses me off about forums. I highly doubt the Eastmans boys are gonna banned mr.LRH. Get off your high horse! if your gonna be an ass go do it somewhere else...this is not the place.
Sorry if i jumped down your throat for the wrong reason but, i just relized one of your intrests are Long Range Hunting? Maybe i took your comment out of text and sorry if i did. (EDIT)

I would like to state that a responsible hunter takes the time to understand their prey and understand their equipment making them a responsible hunter. I would like to state that I feel I am a responsible hunter and that unless I completely know my equipment and its full potential I will not take any unethical shot. This is why I read a lot and ask questions a lot on many different forums a long with spending a lot of time in the field and at the range.
Either way I do look forward to learning a lot and maybe helping anyone along the way.
Look forward to chatting with all of you.

FREEPORT( WIFR) -- Republican Presidential Hopeful Mitt Romney has not responded to Sensata workers' pleas for help to save their jobs.
Sensata workers say since Romney won't come to Freeport, they will go to him. Workers will travel to the GOP Convention in Tampa, Florida to get Romney to hear their requests and help end the outsourcing of jobs.
Former Sensata employee Joanne Penniston is just one of the four workers ready to go.
"We had a discussion amongst each other and thought it'd be a good idea since he has openly said, and Bain Capital has openly said that Romney has no knowledge of Sensata workers or their fight," Penniston said.
Sensata workers hosted a send-off barbecue Thursday for the four people heading to Florida and while they have received support from politicians including Republican Congressman Don Manzullo, workers have yet to hear from Romney.
"I think he can pick up a phone call and stop the practice of this right now," said Cheryl Randecko, one of the four workers who is heading to Florida.
"We need to be focused on sending goods overseas, not jobs. I feel tremendously for these 170 families who are being impacted by this. I'm proud of them taking the effort to go down to the Republican National Convention and saying you know what enough of this, we're not going to put up with this anymore," said Cheri Bustos, the 17th District Democratic Candidate for Congress.
Some Sensata workers have been training their Chinese replacements. Most workers are afraid of looking for a new job and some say they're only option is to go back to school.
The four workers going are being sponsored by Stand-Up Chicago, which is a coalition of community and labor organizations.

Audie Award Finalist, Paranormal, 2014
Audie Award Finalist, Solo Narration - Male, 2014
Audie Award Finalist, Paranormal, 2014
New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Larry Correia sets this gritty urban fantasy, a sequel to Hard Magic and Spellbound, in an alternate noir 1930s. A tough P.I. battles an interdimensional monster that wants to suck magic power out of the world.
Only a handful of people in the world know that mankind's magic comes from a living creature, and it is a refugee from another universe. The Power showed up here in the 1850s because it was running from something. Now it is 1933, and the Power's hiding place has been discovered by a killer. It is a predator that eats magic and leaves destroyed worlds in its wake. Earth is next.
Former private eye Jake Sullivan knows the score. The problem is, hardly anyone believes him. The world's most capable Active, Faye Vierra, could back him up, but she is hiding from forces that think she is too dangerous to live. So Jake has put together a ragtag crew of airship pirates and Grimnoir knights - and set out on a suicide mission to stop the predator before it is too late.
©2013 Larry Correia (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
I read, I write; I listen
"Started Strong-Finished Strong"
Larry Correia's Grimnoir trilogy has come to a conclusion in "Warbound." There is so much I love about this series, that takes place is an alternate 1930's era, that its hard to know where to start. The characters are true to the era, yet they live in a world that has been given magic from a creature that has come to earth in an effort to hide from a predator that wants to suck the magic out of the entire universe. Larry Correia's use of real life characters from the Thirties such as John Moses Browning and General John, "Black Jack", Pershing, and references to Nichola Tesla and his inventions, gives his alternative world authenticity.
In "Warbound," Jake Sullivan, Sally Faye Vierra, and the iron guard Toru, are the main characters in this third installment. I really like the relationship that is formed between Jake and the Iron Guard; and of course, Faye is my favorite character in the series. There are still the other characters we've come to know such as, Pirate Bob, Francis, Dan, Heinrich, and Pemberly Hammer - the Bureau of Investigation's human lie detector, but their roles are diminished in this book. One of the new characters, Dr. Well, a sociopath and inmate of Rockville Penitentiary, that Jake recruits to help swart the greatest threat to earth, the Pathfinder, is also a standout character.
The battle action is amazing with magic being thrown from all sides and the technology that Mr. Correia adds, such as powered armor, and of course the flying airships, only add to the excitement.
On a side note; although this is the end of the trilogy, Mr. Correia leaves open the possibility for more Grimnoir adventures;let's hope.
About the narrator; it's crazy, to me, that Bronson Pinchot, "Balki Bartokomous" from Perfect Strangers (one of my favorite sitcom televisions shows from the mid-80s and early 90s) is the narrator. This guy has range, and gives another great performance.
I like scifi and urban fantasy. I don't like romance novels. If you are the same my reviews should help.
"Warbound. Buy it already!"
Yes. it is a fun , action packed book with a great backstory. The narrartor is top notch. I met the author at a book signing last week and told him he made me utter words I thought would never come out of my mouth, which are "Bronson Pinchot is badass!"
The final climactic battle between the entity and Fay. I also, really liked when Sullivan figures out how to foil the pathfinder's plan. Ingenious and funny to boot.
I listened to him in the other book and he is incredible in all of them. I personally have never cared for any of his film and television work but he is truly the master of the audiobook format. His voices are great, he can handle multiple distinct characters and captures the noir feel of the series perfectly. I read the E-arc prior to release and the audiobook is much better than simply reading the story.
Yes, but time did not permit.
Great story, great acting, what more do you want. I'd also say check out the author's Monster Hunter Internatilonal series if you like this one.
Actor/director/teacher. Split my time between Beijing and Seattle now. Listen to Audible on the subway and while driving or riding my bike.
"Finished right on time"
A wonderful range of characters you can actually engage with. Brilliantly written action scenes which make sense and only occasionally push too far into "give me a break" territory. Smart, even sophisticated, historical tie-ins which add tremendously to the surprise factor as we enjoy Correia's take on "familiar" figures from the past. A reader who is practically without peer in bringing an extensive gallery of colorful characters to audible life. A brilliantly light touch even when dealing with death, destruction and despair. All the strengths of the first two books of the trilogy make "Warbound" another delight to listen to.
And perhaps best of all is the fact that this, for the moment at least, is the end. A very good end. Knowing when to stop is not easy when you have a boffo series going. (We can all name a few authors who have missed the right exit.) I have no doubt the author has a few tricks left up his sleeve, but by the end of this book, the brilliantly realized concept was already beginning to seem a tiny bit short of breath. Just the tiniest bit, you understand, but I look forward to a completely new idea from LC for the immediate future. Maybe in a few years, the Grimnoir Archives? I'd be hungry again and part with my credits happily.

"happy to report a satisfying conclusion"
can't say without major spoilers.
yes, he's amazing! i was tickled by his performance of lady origami. by far, he is the most talented narrator i've heard to date! i love his narration of jake sullivan! perfect, just perfect!.
happy and relieved that the story lived up to my expectations.
preface...like many, i discovered the grimnoir chronicles while waiting for the next release of monster hunters, and i must say, "what an awesome discovery!" the grimnoir chronicles have become one of my favorite series. dare i even say better than monster hunters? ok. yes, i dare! lol so like many of you i was eagerly (and despairingly) awaiting the release of warbound on audible. yes, i could've downloaded it on kindle, but i wanted/needed bronson pinchot's superb narration to envelop me in larry correia's world. i have to admit, i was nervous, even giddy, when i started listening b/c i didn't want to be let down. sorry but monster hunter vendetta was kind of a let down. ok. where was i? sorry, the adhd is kinda bad today. lol hard magic was an incredible discovery, spellbound was a worthy sequel, and warbound is a satisfying conclusion.
ok...on with the review...
i don't want to spoil your listening experience, but i must say larry correia does a great job wrapping up the story, and the minor stories within the story. faye's journey to discover what it means to be spellbound is haunting. what she truly is totally surprised me, but by the end it makes perfect sense. jake and toru have a complicated relationship, and i really enjoyed seeing how it played out.
i was also happy that larry correia brought "plot devices" from previous books into this one. for instance, i really liked buckminster fuller. he had a very small part in spellbound, but he had a huge influence on the plot. i really enjoyed listening to bronson pichot's portrayal of him as a zany, quick talking genius. so, i was glad he was back in warbound. there are many more plot devices, but i'm not telling! lol trust me, you'll really enjoy discovering how past events come into play in this story.
once again, larry correia introduces new characters, and again they are as equally fascinating as the previous characters he's introduced us to. one of the definite strengths of this series are the characters larry correia creates. each is unique, and as a cast, they fit together like puzzle pieces.
the battle scenes are heart-pounding. they are choreographed with the right amount of description to keep the action exciting.
i'm sad that the series is over, but i'm happy with the way it ended. thank-you larry correia! it was definitely a great ride!

"Up for a Hugo and an Audio"
Originally posted at Fantasy Literature.
Warbound is the third volume of Larry Correia's GRIMNOIR CHRONICLES, an alternate history which takes place during the early 19th century. This review will contain spoilers for previous volumes. You'll definitely want to read those before picking up Warbound.
The stakes are higher than ever in Warbound. When Jake Sullivan was let out of jail to help his country, he never dreamed he'd be fighting an evil being from another dimension that plans to suck the power out of magic-wielding humans so it can use their power for its own. Roosevelt's administration is unwittingly (perhaps) helping this "Pathfinder" by demanding that all Actives get registered and wear a special badge. They're even building special towns for Actives to live in and are starting to round them all up. Jake realizes that this will only help Pathfinder when he's ready to harvest all the power.
Francis, an airship tycoon who's also an Active, is frustrated as he tries to enlighten congress. His girlfriend Faye, whose Spellbound powers are growing, is worried that the power will taint her. Feeling more alone than ever, and knowing that the Council is trying to assassinate her, she goes on a quest to zombie-infested Berlin to get some answers. Meanwhile, Toru, the disgraced Japanese Iron Guard who was exiled to America, feels certain that the Chairman of his beloved Imperium is now the Pathfinder's pawn. If so, the Chairman has fooled all of Toru's brothers in the Iron Guard and Toru wants them to know the truth. He's looking for redemption and hopes to win back his honor. He's also starting to question his country's moral philosophies.
Toru, Jake and their international group of magical friends (we met most of these fascinating folks in Hard Magic and Spellbound) have to make some unsavory alliances if they want to defeat the Chairman and Pathfinder. They meet some helpful Chinese mobsters in occupied China, but the scariest ally is a psychopathic psychologist who Jake retrieves from solitary confinement in a maximum security prison. It will take all of these people's combined efforts and skills to win this war for humanity. Along the way, they'll fight Samurai and ninjas, find a mechanical armored body suit, cause a riot, explore underground tunnels, blow up dirigibles, control animals, meet Rasputin, create origami art, and learn about the metaphysics of the magic. As usual there is some humor, some romance, some clever alternate history (I love the bastardized quotes at the beginning of each chapter), and several well-choreographed brutal fight scenes. There is also major loss and one of my favorite characters dies. If there are any future volumes in the GRIMNOIR CHRONICLES, I'll miss that character.
After enjoying seven of his novels, I'm no longer surprised that Larry Correia always entertains me. His outspoken libertarian political views don't bother me (I lean that way, too), but he's a rabid gun nut, and that's an issue that I don't feel quite so libertarian about. There's some gun porn in Warbound but it's minimal and tasteful. Jake Sullivan occasionally lets us know that he's politically conservative:
"FDR can go to hell. I'm a man. Not a type, not a number, and sure as hell not something that can be summed up as a logo to wear on my sleeve. A man. And I ain't registering nothing."
Larry Correia's political views inspire Jake Sullivan's characterization, but Jake's libertarianism fits well in a story set during the time of the New Deal and it never interferes with the exciting plot. (It's far less intrusive than Heinlein's pulpitting.)
Warbound has been nominated for a Hugo award. I'm not interested in commenting on this year's Hugo kerfuffle except to say that I agree with John Scalzi when he says let's put politics aside, read all the books, and judge them based on quality. And to those who refuse to read this Hugo-nominated book, all I can say is that you're missing out on a lot of fun. This story may not have the intellectual heft that I'd prefer from an award-winning book, but it's wildly popular and it's certainly not dumb. It's clever, well-written, and immensely entertaining.
Now, let me talk about my favorite part of Warbound: the audiobook! This series has one of the best (maybe the very best) audio performances I've ever heard, and I've listened to close to 1,000 audiobooks. Actor Bronson Pinchot, the narrator, is an audio genius. Genius, I tell you! This story has a large diverse cast of characters that differs in sex, age, race, region, culture, education level, and every other way you can think of. Pinchot handles them all with ease, giving each character their own voice, rhythm and tone. I have never heard this done so well. Even if the story wasn't entertaining in itself, Pinchot's narration of Warbound could keep anyone riveted, which is why it's been nominated for a prestigious Audie award. Have a listen!
A note about my rating of Warbound: I struggled with how to rate Warbound. If I was rating the audiobook, it'd get 5 stars. But, realizing that most of our audience doesn't listen to audiobooks, I tend to rate based on if I'd read it in print. In this case, though, it's really hard for me to separate the audio out of it because it was such a huge part of my enjoyment of the book. I may be being a bit stingy to only give Warbound 4 stars because I got more than 4 stars worth of enjoyment out of it.
On Audible since the late 1990s, mostly science fiction, fantasy, history & science. I rarely review 1-2 star books that I can't get through
"Summer Blockbuster and Satisfying Finale"
You have to give Larry Correia credit for writing a thrilling story that would sound utterly ridiculous if he wasn't as talented at plotting and writing. All the elements of a summer blockbuster are there: a team of heroes assembled to face a superior foe, wise mentors, narrow escapes, heroic deaths, massive fights through collapsing buildings, clever plans, and of course, lots of guns. And, because it is part of the Grimnoir Chronicles, you can add ninjas, wizards, sky pirates, aliens, and a vaguely evil FDR. Looking back at those lists could make you worry that Warbound is actually some cliched fanfiction, but it is anything but. Instead, Correia manages to create a thrilling adventure where his terrific control of the seemingly crazy plot keeps you constantly guessing and on the edge of your seat - and all this despite the fact that every few pages has a new potential deus ex machina.
Surprisingly for a gun-filled adventure, it is the likeable characters, remarkably well-rounded over the course of three books, that keeps the book centered. And it is the insanely amazing reading that makes the characters work. Seriously, out of 200+ books I have listened to, this is in the top 2-3 of the best read. Pinchot's ability to make the naive (but extremely powerful) Faye and the gruff Jake Sullivan both work is stunning.
So, in short, if you have already read two books, you obviously should listen to this. If you haven't this is a great trilogy to start, though it occasionally drags slightly (especially in the second book), the third volume is almost entirely terrific. A great example of how an audiobook can be as compelling as any action movie.
"Fantastic Trilogy Conclusion"
Absolutely will, well written and well performed.
If you don't like Jake Sullivan, I don't like you.
He accomplished something I've only ever heard done once before: he made the characters more than what they might have been if I had just read the books. This is a feat I have only otherwise experienced with James Marsters' delivery of the Dresden Files readings. Mr. Pinchot's Jake Sullivan and Sally Fae Viera were marvelous. I couldn't have appreciated his work more. There were very few times he hit the wrong note with a character's tone or presentation.
No spoilers.
This is Mr. Correia's best series. I really appreciated his world building. He had a great story arc that he stuck to and didn't overdo. I mean, honestly, I could read Jake Sullivan books for ages, however, I think this story arc is brilliant. I can't see how these wouldn't be great movies.
5 stars is i love and i will read agani and again. 1 is i hate and i never want to hear about it ever again. YES = :))) - NO= :'(
"Faye and Sullivan Are Back, And They Were Amazing!"
Such an amazing book, such an amazing series.. Everything in it was fantastic, the plot, the twists and the whole thing was just amazing... more than that.
The action in Warbound was packed, specially the 2nd half of the book, the deaths, the sacrifices, and the surprises where everywhere, really good.
Let me talk, a bit about the narrator, Bronson Pinchot is one of THE BEST narrators I know, the voices he makes, and emotions that comes out .. so real you can feel what the characters are feeling, one someone scream, he scream.. Such a great narrator, and he does bring the characters to life..
I din't know if there will be a next book or not... things are not that clear about that, but i think there will be many to come, we want to know what will happen to these characters in the future.
Indiscriminate Reader
"It is what it is, and it's kind of awesome"
This book is cheesy big guns blazing entertainment, and I loved it. I am giving it five stars not because it is the best of the best, but because it was fun and action packed and it's an example of an author doing nothing more and nothing less than entertaining his audience without pretense.
Warbound is the third book in the Grimnoir trilogy, so you want to read the first two. It is set in an alt-history in which a magical being came to Earth in the 1850s, and its presence bestowed magical powers on 1% of the population. Most people get a single power, so there are "Brutes" (super-strength), "Heavies" (gravity controllers), "Cogs" (gadgeteer geniuses), "Readers" (telepaths), "Fades" (turn insubstantial), "Torches" (pyrokinesis) and so on.
Basically, despite the "fantasy" element, these are period superhero novels. And the author devotes many words to describing the battles in full-page multi-panel glory. It's hard to do superheroes (an inherently visual genre) justice in written form, but Correia does a pretty good job. At times he reminded me of his fellow Mormon author Brandon Sanderson, who's also known for his intricate "magic systems" and long descriptions of characters figuring out how to use their powers in creative new ways, but Correia's plots are less contemplative (which is not to say simpler) and more about the action.
That said, major suspensions of disbelief are required, but no more than with most epic or urban fantasy.
In the conclusion of the trilogy, war with the Japanese Imperium is imminent, but only the knights of the Grimnoir know that Chairman Tokugawa has been replaced by an impostor. His "son," Iron Guard Toru Tokugawa, knows of the deception and the corruption of the Imperium's magical training schools, Iron Guard, and Shadow Guard, and so has reluctantly joined the Grimnoir.
Since this is a rising Japan in the 1930s, guilty of pretty much the same atrocities Japan was committing in Asia at that time in the real world, this causes a lot of tension with the Grimnoir, who have been sworn enemies of the Imperium. Toru manifests all the usual tropes about fictional samurai: hard-headed, death before dishonor, all non-Japanese are weak and lazy, grudging respect for Westerners who are brave warriors even if they are ignorant barbarians, blah blah blah.
A summary of the plot would be kind of pointless: if the premise does not interest you, it's not gonna interest you, but Correia does do a very good job of working within the parameters he has established and then treating it seriously. Powers work a certain way and everything follows from certain first principles, and when some of the big twists are revealed, more pieces fall into place, including some that have been developed since the first book.
Is this is gonzo gun porn and superhero slugfests? Yes! And awfully darn fun. But awfully damn intelligent for a historical superhero novel as well. And there is a conclusion to bring this trilogy to a definitive close, while still leaving open the possibility (I would guess, based on Correia's prolificness, inevitability) of a new series coming down the pike.
This is not the best written or deepest or most original series. It's just fun and entertaining. Did I mention fun? Okay, so I am a superhero nerd. But in all seriousness, for what it is, the plotting, pacing, characterization, and worldbuilding were all far above the somewhat low bar I have for this kind of book. Hence, 5 stars. Would read more Grimnoir, definitely.
And an additional 5 star rating must be given for Bronson Pinchot. I HATED Balki and "Perfect Strangers"! But he is one of the best audiobook narrators ever! Seriously, he nails every single accent, does men and women both flawlessly, and probably puts more life into Correia's characters than exists on the page.
Likes to listen while doing chores; likes to write reviews while he should be doing chores.
"Rack your B.A.R. and get ready!"
Correia keeps the pace pretty fast through this third installment of the Grimnoir Chronicles. This book reads like an action movie. You may find a bit more self-reflection than just any shoot-em-up, but action is what this series is built around and if that is what you seek, you won't be disappointed.
The author has done some very interesting things with the structure of magic and has developed it well over the course of the series. This draws the reader in as you can see the magic as the problem and the solution and you ride along with the characters as they use cleverness and grit to figure it out.
The setting is fantastic. I have the feeling that Correia spent a ton of time trying to get it right. With magic affecting people since before the Civil War, the course of history is changed, slightly. It is then fast-forwarded a number of years and different things have shaken out. Teddy Roosevelt is a famous and important figure in U.S. history, but for completely different reasons. There are lots of these little changes which fold in extremely well with the story. That part of this book has the potential to go under-appreciated, but is really interesting.
Initially, I thought that the characters were your standard action flick fare, but upon reflection, they do indeed run a bit deeper. I give full credit to Bronson Pinchot for adding a lot of depth with his portrayal. Once again, the book is read outstandingly well. I will look for Pinchot in the future.
"Does not skip a beat"
In the third book of the series Larry really keeps up the pace of the story and characterisation that makes this a class leader of the genre.
"Superhuman story and narration"
Warbound was a very enjoyable piece of pulp fiction. This is not the kind of book that is going to win literary awards, but it is the kind of book that will keep you "spellbound" from cover to cover. I really need to call out that the narration in this book in particular (and the whole series in general) was superlative.
Bronson Pinchot brought personality to every character and enhanced the action of pivotal scenes through inflection, volume and pacing. I have well over 100 audio books in my collection, and this was my favorite narration by a male narrator. Tokugawa!!!!
Spelling bad never felt so good.
"A very good story"
I liked it a lot, it was a very interesting story and well read .good job.
"a nice conclusion to a ripping yarn"
Top twenty, and i listen to a lot.
Heinrich ( not sure of the spelling)
A silky smooth voice which can inject a great deal of character into the major players.
I Thoroughly enjoyed this conclusion to the trilogy. It felt a little abrupt but that was likely me not wanting it to end. I read a lot of reviews of the authors other books which suggested he pushes a political agenda through them. In this books case i really didn't see it. If you take it seriously this book may not suit but i wanted solid entertainment and it delivered.

Hmm, I think it torqued itself on the woodruff key and is affixed real solid.
You could use a small drill and drill to holes/notches into the end of the sleeve at every 90 degrees and use a spanner socket, if you can find one the correct size.

SANDY SPRING, Md. (WUSA9) -- There are new accusations that for 6 years the region's most powerful land use agency has been intentionally hiding public documents that could turn the tide in favor of an historic African American community in Montgomery County that's fighting to restore their property values.
The small enclave of families are continue to battle the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission which mysteriously erased the community's historic road and addresses off official maps. Some landowners complain the move nearly wiped out their property values.
It's a 7-year David vs. Goliath fight, that the taxpaying property owners refuse to give up on.
"There's something they don't want us to know about. There's something they don't want anyone to know about," alleges 72-year-old William Rounds who owns two parcels along what's historically known as "Farm Road".
"Absolutely, they have something to hide," adds community activist Steve Kanstoroom, who's website SaveSandySpring.org is dedicated to helping the landowners.
Kanstoroom made the first public information act request in 2008 and claims M-NCPPC has refused to give up its public records.
"The documents they refuse to turn over - it directly undercuts them," Kanstoroom says. "They cant turn over the documents or their case falls apart."
Farm Road was eliminated from official maps when M-NCPPC approved a nearby subdivision which was built in 2002.
With that one decision, descendants of African American families that settled the area more than a century ago complain they lost their financial nest eggs represented by their property values along with the road.
Planning officials now refuse to give owners like Mr. Rounds an address, which means he can't build on his own land.
Rounds believes its a strategy to force African-American landowners out to make room for more development.
"Why not? They got the power," he says.
Since 2008, Kanstroroom has made 2 demands for public documents from M-NCPPC under the Maryland Public Information Act.
In one case he claims he received a letter back, with no documents attached.
In the second case, he says he got no response at all.
The commission's alleged failure to comply is an apparent violation of the law, according to Montgomery County Councilmember Marc Elrich.
"It's just wrong," Elrich said.
Elrich has complained in writing to M-NCPPC Chair Francoise Carrier and asked her to put an end to the Farm Road dispute.
In an interview with WUSA9 Elrich said: "There are only two reasons you don't give up stuff. Either it doesn't exist and you've made statements or claims based on something that doesn't exist or something exists and it contradicts your position."
SaveSandySpring.org features a recording of Kanstoroom and Rounds attempting to video a map while visiting M-NCPPC headquarters and being asked to stop. The maps appears to show Farm Road before the development and what seem to be deleted addresses.
The map is one document Kanstoroom claims M-NCPPC has failed to provide after his Public Information Act requests.
And since Farm road families are denied addresses, Kanstoroom asked for documents explaining the rules.
However, agency interim director Rose Krasnow claimed in court testimony: "There are no rules" and "They're not written, but I would argue that they're not just in my head."
Elrich says he is disturbed by the circumstances.
"I can't picture what anyone has to hide, other than your hiding that you made a mistake. And if you're hiding a mistake that's pathetic," he told WUSA9.
Krasnow and Carrier declined to be interviewed in person by WUSA9 saying they need more time to consider Elrich's letter.
But time and patience are two things the taxpaying property owners along Farm Road say they have run out of.

As the drought persists in western Nebraska, property owners grow more concerned about the health of their trees and how to properly care for them. One way to help is to renew or apply mulch. Properly applied mulch adds to the health and vigor of the tree. The important words here are "properly applied." Mulch that is improperly applied can impair good tree health.

text: Wiring up St Helena: the campaign to connect a remote Atlantic island Technology 22 February 12 by Duncan Geere Shutterstock St Helena is one of the most remote islands in the world. But a campaign to tweak the course of a transatlantic cable could change the lives of its population.For centuries since its discovery in 1502, the craggy volcanic island was a hive of activity. Having been abandoned by both the Dutch and the Portuguese, the British claimed the island in 1657, giving the English East India Company a charter to govern it. As a stopping-off point on the long sail across the Atlantic, hundreds of ships would stop by every month bringing vital supplies, sustaining a population of around 3,500 by 1814. Still, it was a remote place to live -- the following year, the British government selected St Helena as the place of exile for Napoleon Bonaparte.However, from the moment that powered shipping began, and boats no longer had to be reliant on the trade winds, the island's population and economy slowly began to decline. The pace was accelerated by the post-war spread of civil aviation, and the population today stands at less than half of its all-time high of 9,850 in 1901. It's served by a single ship -- the RMS St Helena, which calls between Cape Town, Ascension Island and St Helena, carrying supplies and passengers to and from the island every few weeks. It was due to be decommissioned in 2010, but its lifespan has since been extended.An airfield is under construction on the island, after having been postponed due to budget cuts. It's expected to cost between £200 million and £300 million, but it's a good deal for the government in the long term -- the island costs Britain in the region of £27 million each year in aid, which the government believes would be largely eliminated by the boost that tourism and a reduction in goods transportation costs would bring. The airport is expected to be up-and-running by 2015, with a flight to and from South Africa once a week.In 1999, dial-up internet access was introduced for the population, and in 2007 that was upgraded to a 10Mb/s "broadband" satellite link. However, the government reserves 1.5Mb/s of that, and the rest is split between 4,000 residents of the island. For a St Helenian, a 384Kb/s chunk, with a data allowance of 3.3 gigabytes, costs more than a third of the average islander's salary -- which sits at just £4,000.It's believed that a sizable boost to the economy could be delivered at a fraction of a cost of the airport, merely by routing a transatlantic data cable close to the island and allowing Saints (as the locals refer to themselves as) to tap into it.Christian von der Ropp is leading a campaign to do just that -- to change the route of a cable to deliver affordable internet access at globally-competitive speeds to the residents of the island. "Landing the cable could close the digital divide," said Von der Ropp, who admits that he's never been to the island, but became aware of the its plight after a friend visited it in 2009. He told Wired.co.uk in an email: "This would significantly improve quality of life in St Helena by providing better education by the means of e-learning, better healthcare by telemedicine, economic growth by establishing an internet-based service sector and supporting tourism based on reliable telecom infrastructure."The cable in question is the South Atlantic Express, or SAex. Under the current plans, it would link South Africa and Angola directly with Brazil, over a 12.8Tb/s fibreoptic connection. The project is owned by eFive Telecom -- a South African company, which didn't respond to Wired.co.uk's request for comment. However, eFive's CEO, Rosalind Thomas, told Von der Ropp in late January 2012, that she would be prepared to shift the originally-planned route of the cable to swing past St Helena -- if someone supplied the cost of the branch that would connect up the island. That cost? "In the mid single-digit million range", says Von der Ropp.Shortly after hearing from Thomas, Von der Ropp started an e-petition asking the British government to discuss the matter in the House of Commons. However, at the time of writing, it's sitting at a mere 385 signatures -- 99,615 short of the number required to trigger a debate. Thankfully, that's not the only route to persuading the British government to fund the extra work required to land the South Atlantic Express cable on St Helena. Von der Ropp has also been speaking directly to the Department for International Development (Dfid).Dfid has long provided developmental aid to the island, and was responsible for funding the airport project. Von der Ropp argues that the money would be better spent delivering virtual goods, rather than real ones. "Although I applaud the airport, the UK government currently invests a huge amount of money on a rather speculative basis," he said. "Compared to that £250m, the required investments for the cable are little and the cable would actually complement the plans for tourism." He added: "Given St Helena's remote location there would be huge benefits, which we Europeans probably don't think about as we can reach a large hospital, library or university in a few minutes' drive. In contrast, Saints' only transport to the outside world is a Royal Mail ship passing every two to three weeks and sailing five days to Cape Town at the price of month's salary. Even once the airport is completed there won't be much more than one flight to Cape Town per week, which won't be cheaper." Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Just nine nations voted against the Palestinian Authority's upgrade to nonvoting observer state status, which passed the General Assembly 138-9, with 41 abstentions.
Voting "no" Thursday were Israel, the United States and Canada, joined by the Czech Republic, Panama and several Pacific island nations: Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and Palau. The Pacific nations typically support the U.S. and Israel at the U.N. on key General Assembly resolutions.

Birth Place: Australia
Born in Canberra, Australia on Oct. 14, 1989, Wasikowska (pronounced vash-i-KOV-ska) was initially attracted to ballet, and from the ages of nine to 15, trained extensively to become a professional dancer. However, the stress inherent to the pursuit of dance made Wasikowska seek other outlets for her creative energy, including acting. She began her professional career in that field with the Australian medical drama "All Saints" (Seven Network, 1998-2009), and moved quickly into film, first in a trio of shorts, followed by a supporting role in the award-winning "Suburban Mayhem" (2006), about a malevolent teenage mother (Emily Barclay) who plans to murder her father.

A photo provided by the Collin County Sheriff's Office shows Pilar Sanders. An inmate listing on Collin County's website early Tuesday, April 24, 2012 shows that Pilar Sanders was arrested Monday and booked into the county jail on the family violence charge. (AP Photo)
The estranged wife of former football star Deion Sanders was arrested on domestic violence-related charges Monday night, hours after Sanders sent a series of bizarre tweets saying she assaulted him.
In one of the messages posted on his verified Twitter account, Sanders even posted a picture of what he said were his children filling out complaints to give to police in Texas.
"Pray for me and my kids now! They just witnessed their mother and a friend jump me in my room," the first tweet, posted at 6:15 p.m., read. "She's going to jail n I'm pressing charges!"
Two minutes later, Sanders tweeted again.
"I'm sad my boys witnessed this mess but I warned the police department here that she was gone try n harm me and my boys. This is on my mama!" it said.
Shortly after that, Sanders tweeted a picture that showed him and his two boys, ages 10 and 12, filling out paperwork.
"Filling out police reports now! Thank God for this platform to issue the Truth," the caption read.
Pilar Sanders was booked into jail Monday night on suspicion of assault family violence, a misdemeanor, according to booking records at the Collin County Jail.
Bond was set at $264.
"I can tell you that there are two sides to every story and the truth will come out in court," Larry Friedman, an attorney for Pilar Sanders, said Tuesday.
Deion Sanders played for several NFL teams including the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame and currently works as an analyst for the NFL Network.
During much of his NFL career he also was an outfielder with four Major League Baseball teams, and played in a World Series with the Atlanta Braves.
The NFL Network as well as Sanders' business manager, Constance Schwartz, declined to comment about the incident.
But a clearly emotional Sanders spoke to Dallas television station KXAS Monday night and appealed for help.
"My kids, they are scared for their life," Sanders told the station. "They just saw two women jump their dad in his own house, in his room, in my room. It's sad."
"I got locks on my doors right now," he added. "Is somebody going to have to die? Is it going to be me before the court does something and get this woman out of my house? It's absurd."
The couple has three children together. Sanders also has two other children from an earlier relationship.
The couple married in 1999 and starred in a reality show, "Deion & Pilar Prime Time Love," that aired on the Oxygen network.
The marriage, however, soured, and the two are in the midst of a very public, bitter divorce.
In February, Pilar Sanders filed a suit against her husband and his aunt, Laura Jones. She said the aunt attacked her in their 10-bedroom, 29,000-square-foot home in Prosper, Texas, while Deion Sanders watched.
At the time, the two-sport star tweeted that his wife was the aggressor and the aunt was in the home merely to fix his phone.
Pilar Sanders also filed a separate suit against her husband and his daughter, Deiondra, after she called her stepmother a "gold-digging (expletive)" and "the number one gold digger of the year" in Twitter posts.
In the second suit, Pilar Sanders demanded $200 million in damages for libelous and slanderous comments. She claims that her husband "endorsed Deiondra's false statements" and himself tweeted he was "tired of all (Pilar's) lies and foolishness."
Previous Story
Police have arrested Deion Sanders' estranged wife on an assault charge that the Hall of Fame cornerback claims was for breaking into his room and attacking him in front of their children.
Pilar (pee-lar) Sanders was arrested Monday and booked into Collin County Jail on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge.
Jail records didn't give details about the alleged attack and Prosper police declined to discuss it Tuesday. But Deion Sanders tweeted Monday that his children "just witnessed their mother and a friend jump me in my room."
Deion Sanders filed for divorce in December. His wife's divorce attorney didn't immediately respond to a call seeking comment.
The former Dallas Cowboy is an NFL Network analyst. The couple starred in a 2008 Oxygen network series, "Deion & Pilar: Prime Time Love."

Mooresville, NC (August 18, 2010) – Beginning with the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on September 5th, NASCAR star Casey Mears will slide behind the wheel of the #13 GEICO Toyota Camry.
Mears will be entered as the driver of the #13 GEICO Camry in the seven remaining GEICO sponsored races in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. The 2011 season will feature Mears and the Gecko in the #13 Germain Racing entry at 18 events.
Effective immediately, Mears will put the Gecko on his chest and attempt to expand the Sprint Cup Series program that Max Papis and the Germain Racing team have worked hard to establish.
Mears carries with him one of the most recognized names in the sport of auto racing, while his resumé makes him the obvious choice to be the new wheelman of the #13 GEICO Camry. He has experienced success at each of NASCAR's top two levels, winning races in both the NASCAR Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup Series. Versatility being a cornerstone for Mears, he has also won races in the Indy Lights Series, ARCA Series, and in 2006 he became the first full-time NASCAR driver to achieve an overall victory at the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
While Mears boasts a distinguished resumé, his family dinner table features a banquet of successful careers. He is flanked by father, Roger Mears, who is a championship off-road racer, while his uncle, Rick Mears, has netted four Indianapolis 500 wins.
Germain Racing will most benefit from Mears' experience at the top level of NASCAR. Since making his NASCAR debut at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 10, 2001, Mears has been employed by NASCAR's best and brightest, including Chip Ganassi Racing, Hendrick Motorsports and Richard Childress Racing.
"I'm excited at the opportunity to drive the #13 GEICO Camry for Germain Racing," Mears said. "It's a great opportunity and I believe with all the hard work that Germain Racing has put into their Cup program, as well as our relationship with Michael Waltrip Racing, that we'll be able to do good things. I've known Bootie Barker (crew chief) for a long time, so I think we'll work well together. I'm ready to get to work and do a good job for GEICO."
Mears' experience combined with Germain Racing's technical relationship with Michael Waltrip Racing should result in marked improvement as the GEICO Racing program heads into the 2011 season.

Some ridiculously adorable chimpanzees in China were just bound in an arranged marriage. We saw an opportunity to manufacture some outrage! Lilit is arguing in favor of arranged marriages for chimps, because she doesn't believe in love or happiness while Jennifer is against it, because she thinks maybe animals have a right to be happy and not trapped in a dark, cold, loveless world.

Q. What different types of HDTVs are available and how do they compare to one another?
A. Rear Projection DLP, and Flat Panel LCD, Plasma and LED have their pros and cons.
Rear Projection (DLP)
Flat Panel LCD
Flat Panel Plasma
Q. What type of TVs use a lamp?
A. Rear Projection DLP TVs use a lamp, with the typical lamp life ranging from 5,000 to 8,000 hours. With normal use, that translates to many years of TV viewing. You may never need to replace your DLP TV lamp (depending on how long you own the TV), but if you do, the typical replacement lamp costs around $200.
Q. What is screen resolution?
A. Resolution refers to the number of pixels being used to project an image. In general, the larger the numbers the better the resolution and the picture quality. Current HD programming tops out at 1920 x 1080 pixels. In fact, HD is generally about six times sharper than standard TV, and can be as much as ten times greater.
Q. What's the difference between 720p, 1080p, and 1080i?
A. 720 and 1080 refer to horizontal pixel counts. Both 1080p and 1080i HD broadcasts offer higher resolution than 720p broadcasts. The "i" indicates that the TV draws images using an interlaced method. The "p" indicates that the TV draws images using a progressive scan method. In general, progressive scan renders images faster and produces a more detailed, more film-like image. This means 1080p offers the highest quality currently available.
Q. What do the "i" and "p" mean?
A. The letters "p" and "i" indicate the picture-scanning method - progressive or interlaced. In interlaced scanning, the on-screen image is created in two split-second passes, drawing all the odd-numbered lines first then going back to fill in all the even-numbered lines. In contrast, progressive scanning draws each frame sequentially in a single pass to create a smoother, cleaner picture. So, progressive scanning is theoretically better than interlaced scanning.
Q. What do I need to watch HD broadcasts?
A. Your choices for watching HDTV are via over-the-air broadcasts, cable or digital satellite.
Over-the-Air Broadcasts
Cable HDTV
Digital Satellite HDTV
Q. What's the difference between a "3D-ready" and a "3D-capable" TV?
A. 3D-ready TVs come with the necessary emitter built-in; 3D-capable TVs do not, so you'll need to add on a separate one for 3D-capable TVs.
Q. What do I need to watch 3DTV at home?
A. You'll need a TV labeled "3D-ready" or "3D-capable", a pair of 3D glasses for each person watching, and a 3D video source such as a 3D Blu-ray movie.

To the editor:
The sands of our barrier islands have been shifting since their formation after the last ice age. I expect that they will still be shifting for the foreseeable future. I do not want to see shifty people throwing tax money at this shifting problem.
It was the North Carolina House that put the reasonable teeth into this issue last time and there remains good cause to oppose bad ideas � of which groins remain on the far side.
The House properly and conservatively established that private �groin benefit� not damage the public trust or cost public dollars.
The bill could not be quashed, but it could be made to come closer to responsible.
Being responsible is what I pray the House does again.
At least in the case of sea level rise � for which I accept the science � the various facts and opinions are freely available so those making investments can interpret the data as they choose. Taxpayers are not on the hook.
In the case of groins and SB151, taxpayers are on the hook whether or not it works; needs additional millions in fixes; or sea level rises or falls. Even the Bible addresses building houses on shifting sand. Not a good idea.
People have paid unexpected prices for ignoring this truth � as in New Jersey with Hurricane Sandy.
Public policy contorted to reward building on shifting sands will not stand the tests of God, man, nature or time.

Reflection Gallery Opening Reception for Joshua Jaehnig

Please enter a search term to begin your search.
Graphic Novel, "But By This Path" at Reflection Gallery in September
HANCOCK, MI - The Finlandia University Reflection Gallery, Hancock, will present an exhibit of the graphic novel, "But by This Path," written and illustrated by local artist Josh Jaehnig, September 1 to September 30, 2011.
An opening reception for artist will take place at the gallery Thursday, September 1, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. The reception is open to the public and refreshments will be served.
"But by This Path" began as Jaehnig's senior diploma works project at Finlandia University, but it became much more. He completed his bachelor of fine arts in illustration this spring.
This summer Jaehnig was awarded a scholarship by Finlandia's International School of Art & Design that made it possible for him to publish 300 copies of his book. They will be available for purchase at the exhibit's opening reception.
Jaehnig has been inspired to write and illustrate several stories in the previous several years. "But By this Path" is the most recent.
The book is based on stories that Jaehnig's grandfathers shared with Jaehnig when he was a child. As his grandfathers aged, then passed away, Jaehnig began to appreciate the significance of their stories. He began to re-interpret them, breathing into the stories new life and creating an in-depth recollection of a time-gone-by.
Jaehnig developed the book's story over a year-and-a-half, spending an additional six months creating the illustrations. The book's medium is water and sumi-e ink (a black ink that has little to no shine when dry) on illustration board.
When asked what inspires him to create art, aside from family, Jaehnig says, "I have always loved making images to fill empty spaces on walls, using images to tell stories, and using my ability to create a piece of art that can tell what I'm feeling or interested in at that exact time."
In the forward to his book, Jaehnig expresses particular thanks to Yueh-Mei Cheng, professor of fine arts at Finlandia, and the donor of the scholarship. "She has been a teacher, a mentor, and friend," he says of Cheng. "She has pushed me to make my ideas happen, has given me the encouragement, and shared her wisdom to help me help myself."
Visit Jaehnig's blog at http://joshjaehnig.blogspot.com.
"But By This Path," and a selection of similar art pieces by Jaehnig, will be on display at the Reflection Gallery September 1 to September 30. The gallery is located on the second level of Finlandia's Jutila Center campus, Hancock.
For additional information, contact Yueh-mei Cheng, professor of studio arts, at 906-487-7375 or e-mail email@example.com.

A community event aims to raise awareness for what's being called an epidemic, prescription drug abuse.
The nonprofit Montana Meth Project hopes to start raising awareness on prescription drugs.
"While the Meth Project has enjoyed for years, very open and candid conversations with our teens about meth use, we just thought it was timely to add this to our conversation," said Montana Meth Project Executive Director Amy Rue.
The project helped organize Friday's event at the University of Montana, highlighting the growing problem in the state. But that's where the project's involvement stops.
Now it's up to community leaders like Tony King from the Montana Pharmacy Association, Montana First Lady Lisa Bullock, Missoula Prescription Drug Diversion Detective Dean Chrestenson and Dean of UM's Pharmacy School David Forbes; all weighed in on the topic Friday.
"These are potent drugs and not everybody knows how to handle these drugs," Forbes said.
Something Detective Chrestenson knows well. He specializes in prescription drug investigations.
"Unfortunately prescription drugs are the drugs that are causing the most deaths in the state," Chrestenson said. "Versus methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine all put together."
Most recently he worked an almost deadly case involving Missoula middle school aged kids. It was what some teens call a 'Skittles party' where they pick from a bowl full of random pills and eat them like candy. In this case those pills came straight from a parent's medicine cabinet.
"They were all hospitalized because of that, fortunately nobody died," Chrestenson said. "It just goes to show that it is a problem from all areas in our community."
That's just one of too many incidents. And it's not just teens.
"Prescription drugs know, no boundaries, no age, no gender, nothing like that," said Chrestenson.
The hope is Friday's conversation will help raise awareness and ultimately decrease the pill problem.
"If people learn more about the problem they then will have a better opportunity to get a chance to deal with the problem," Forbes said.
While there is no specific plan outlined for what's next, education will be a key component. And all of the community members are asking that Montana's bring unwanted medications to drop off locations across the state Saturday, as part of National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.

One tool Montana uses to try and prevent people from abusing the system is the state's drug registry.
Thanks to a $380,727grant from the Montana Board of Crime Control the registry can increase its sharing capacity to be able to trade information with other states. It will also give doctors the ability to authorize other users, like nurses and emergency room workers to have access to the program.
The registry launched in 2011. It is a way for doctors to keep track of what medications a person has been prescribed, to prevent them from abusing the system or "doctor shopping."

I will be using getmail this time because of recommendations in the forums. We change the MX and A records back because the changes killed some of our sub-domains we had setup.


text: I have several users that were forced via a COS to use Carbon in 7.2. Now I have updated that COS to force them to use Serenity (Nice Job BTW on that Zimbra). However no matter how many times I log in and out again on these users it doesnt change. I also just set the COS to allow them to choose the theme themselves and that doesnt even make the theme dropdown appear again.. Any ideas?
