Dear Johhny D-bag, AKA Slim, AKA LWW, AKA about another four or five bogus handles… I know you think you're some kind of 'Constitutional scholar', but I am here to educate you on the US Constitution.
Between 1948 and 1992 The Supreme Court has issued not one, not two, but ELEVEN opinions that state that The Constitution mandates that church and state be kept separate. (Source: http://infidels.org/library/modern/c...decisions.html) Among those opinions is Allegheny County v. ACLU.
"In a 5-to-4 decision, the Court held that the creche inside the courthouse unmistakably endorsed Christianity in violation of the Establishment Clause. By prominently displaying the words 'Glory to God for the birth of Jesus Christ,' the county sent a clear message that it supported and promoted Christian orthodoxy." (Source: http://www.oyez.org/cases/1980-1989/1988/1988_87_2050)
AMENDMENT I (US Constitution)
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Some words from Thomas Jefferson:
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man & his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state. [Congress thus inhibited from acts respecting religion, and the Executive authorised only to execute their acts, I have refrained from presenting even occasional performances of devotion presented indeed legally where an Executive is the legal head of a national church, but subject here, as religious exercises only to the voluntary regulations and discipline of each respective sect.] Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.
Thomas Jefferson (Letter to the Danbury Baptists)
Now, let's be honest here: if you truly cared as much about adhering to The Constitution as you claim you do, you would take thirty seconds on Google to see what The Supreme Court – you know? The body that THE CONSTITUTION has mandated as its official interpreter – decided on the issue before posting your hypocritical BS. The fact is you don't really care what The Constitution says. Like everyone else on the far right, you are a bigot who can't stand anyone different than you. You get a chapped ass at the thought that someone else might live differently than you, think differently than you, love differently than you, or, in this case, have a different imaginary sky daddy than you.
You care about The Constitution the same way you care about The Bible: it doesn't matter to you what it really says as long as you can use it as an excuse to force your way of life onto someone different from you. And when that someone fights back, it's YOU who need the wambulance called. But I don't have time to wait for the wambulance to come for you.
BTW, as you know, my name is Jerry, and my screen name is Diablo Viejo just as you are really just that same old LWW who has been sitting in his chair banging away ay his keyboard like a meth addicted chimpanzee spewing right wing lies and hatred while wearing the same dirty smelly sweatshirt and filthy pee / skid marked underwear for years. Yes you are nothing but a sad pathetic old fool with the mentality of a petulant adolescent punk who finds great joy in being a worthless troll. Yes, that is your greatest claim to fame..being a troll loser with 40,000+ posts on AZB, thousands more here, and thousands more under your aliases… all amounting to nothing but absolute sh*t. You are one sick man and you really need to get some serious psychiatric help.
Now kindly go and commit an unnatural act upon your yourself. Oh and don't bother waiting for a response, as I have you on ignore and this is a one time only reply. You are hereby dismissed.
Oh and remember...Jesus loves you!

text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer Guard Quinton Hite branded the Longhorns for a three- pointer and two free throws in the last minute of play to cap a 17-point rally and squeeze his Plainsmen past Chase County, 54-53, last Thursday night (Jan. 10) in Imperial. Perkins County trailed 38-22 in the first two minutes of the third quarter and completed their recovery when Hite swished two charity tosses with 7.7 seconds left in the game. The Longhorns decided to risk fouling Hite instead of allowing the Plainsmen to attempt the game's last shot. Chase County's response to Hite's scores fell on deaf ears as Longhorns guard Jeffrey Dickey threw a pass to the foul line—right to Plainsmen guard Tim Johnson! Perkins County fouled point guard Kale Gockley in an attempt to regain possession in the last minute. The senior guard Gockley had hit four free throws in a row earlier in the quarter. With 14 seconds left, the point guard missed both free throws and left the Longhorns ahead by only one point, 53-52. Plainsmen point guard Hite (13 points) had rotated left-to-right around the arc and banged down a three pointer to pull the Plainsmen to within one point of the lead at 53-52 lead in the game's last 30 seconds. Gockley's four free throws in consecutive trips down the floor gave the Longhorns a 53-49 lead with 38.6 seconds left. Hite's trey followed a heroic steal at the wheel, drive and unbelievable underhanded scoop layup at the left side of the basket with his right hand to give his Plainsmen their first tie (49-49) since 2-2 just 28 seconds into the game. He led Perkins County with seven points in the fourth quarter and 13 for the game. Fellow Plainsmen Alex Johnston converted an inbound pass into points, using the window to finally pull Perkins County to within one score 29 minutes into the game. Johnston's underhanded flip earlier in the quarter helped Perkins County score an impressive 21 points in the final frame. Scoring machine forward Kelton Fisher released for a breakaway basket and foul shot, seemingly giving Chase County enough of a lead at 47-43 with 3:41 left. Alex Johnston (10 points) absorbed contact and scored anyway, making the bonus free throw to vaporize the Longhorns' lead to just 45-43 with 3:59 left. Blake Poppe's power at the basket put away a Tim Johnson baseline pass and forced in another back-to-basket shot to jumpstart Perkins County's fourth quarter rally. Poppe (11 points) also intercepted a pass and sprung Elliot Carlson for a layup as the Plainsmen instantly hacked Chase County's 10-point lead in half. Fisher kept the Plainsmen at a distance (42-31), however by knocking down a jumper in the paint with a defender in his face in the third quarter. Fisher led all scorers with 18 points. The Longhorns outscored visiting Perkins County in all of the first three quarters. Four Plainsmen scored as many or more points in the fourth quarter as they had in the first three eight-minute periods. Four Plainsmen made every free throw they took. Chase County emerged from halftime and shot three pointers without conscience; sophomore guard Jeffrey Dickey nailed two, Kale Gockley hit, and Dickey's shot with a foot on the arc gave him only two points from downtown. The 11-point spree set the Longhorns up with a 38-22 lead just over two minutes into the third quarter. A pure shooter, the Longhorns Fisher troubled the Plainsmen with consistent accuracy, succeeding from just inside the arc and on two free throws in the second quarter to boost Chase County's lead to 27-20 at halftime. Colton White glanced one off the glass and knocked down a free throw to draw Perkins County within three points of the lead at 20-17 in the second quarter. Hite warmed up in the second quarter, downing two shots in the wheel. Blake Poppe's putback of his own shot and two free throws along with Tim Johnson's one-on-one, back-to-basket spin move cut Chase County's huge lead to just 13-10 near the end of the first quarter. Kelton Fisher spotted up in the wheel three consecutive times and made all three count to bury Perkins County under a 13-4 Longhorns lead. The Plainsmen missed six shots and four free throws to aid the home team. Fisher erupted for eight points in the first quarter.PC 54, CC 53Perkins Co. 10 10 13 21—54Chase Co. 16 11 16 10—53 Scoring—Perkins County: Hite 4FG (1[x3]) 2/2FT—13; Poppe 4 3/3—11; Johnston 4 2/5—10; Carlson 2 (1) 0/2—7; Johnson 12/2—4; Sexson 1 2/2—4; White 1 1/2—3; Breazeale 1—2; Chase County: Fisher 7 4/7—18; Dickey 3 (3)—15; Gockley 1 (1) 5/8—10; Luhrs (1)—3; Wallin 1 1/2—3; Sorenson 2/2—2; Bell 2/2—2.

Following the Civil War, the former Confederate States were subjected to rule by U.S. Army troops during the10 long years of what history calls the Reconstruction. Fearful of a repetition of this kind of military occupation, Congress passed the Posse Comitatus Act on June 18, 1878, severely limiting the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce laws in the states.
After the terrorist attack on 9/11, Congress was urged by then-President Bush to revise the federal laws so that U.S. armed forces could be utilized to restore public order and enforce laws in the aftermath of a natural disaster, terrorist attack or other similar incidents. Congress obliged in 2007 by passage of the John Warner National Defense Act and expanded these powers in 2012 by passage of the National Defense Authorization Act.
These acts have more than their share of critics who worry about the effect their implementation may have upon our constitutional rights. But perhaps even more worrisome than the deployment of U.S. troops during times of trouble may be the emergence of para-military forces attached to government agencies controlled by the executive branch of government, for instance, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
On June 2, 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama delivered a speech in Boulder, Colorado in which he deviated from his pre-released script and discarding his ubiquitous teleprompter, told his audience:
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as well-funded."
If you are a student of history, you are aware that other autocratic countries have, or had, national security forces. Hitler had his "SS," Stalin, his "NKVD," East Germany, its "STASI," and let's not forget the Iranian "Revolutionary Guard."
While I am not suggesting that the United States is in imminent peril of becoming a dictatorship (thank God we still have our Constitution), it would be wise to keep a wary eye on Washington as it responds to the threat of domestic terrorism; for history has shown us that a nation's freedoms are most vulnerable when its citizenry is fearful of violence and resultant anarchy. When a people fear for their safety, they often will turn to a strong leader who promises security. To this end, it may be wise to remember Benjamin Franklin's admonition:
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Well, let's take a glance at the present landscape in the country and see if we spot any troubling signs.
Earlier this year, agents from the Department of Homeland Security, presenting themselves as national "police," were deployed across the country to "monitor" Tea Party activists who were peacefully protesting the Obama administration regarding the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS.
From California to Florida, armed DHS functionaries, according to protesters in attendance, were turned out to intimidate and spy on them. These DHS agents arrived in large Homeland Security vehicles that were emblazoned with large letters reading "police" and were dressed in "police" uniforms.
Exactly who are these DHS "police?" They are part of the Federal Protection Service (FPS), a division of the National Protection and Programs Directorate of the DHS. Its published "mission" is to render federal properties safe and secure for federal employees and officials.
At its inception, the FPS utilized a fixed guard post concept to carry out its duties. Under the Obama administration, however, the FPS has shifted its emphasis to a mobile police patrol and response approach thereby going on the offensive, performing duties which one would expect from a true police force, including actively preventing or deterring disturbances and investing alleged felonies and misdemeanors.
Civil libertarians worry that this expansion of authority by the DHS may infringe upon the First Amendment rights of the people. Robyn Green with the ACLU Washington Legislature Office, after learning of these DHS activities, warned in 2011 that, "This type of government monitoring and tracking of lawful demonstrators and political speech can have a chilling effect on Americans' exercise of their rights to free speech and assembly."
The Congress has also awakened to this expansion of the DHS prerogative, investigating reports that DHS has stockpiled over a billion bullets, (enough to fight an Iraq-like war for 24 years!) ordered some 7,000 NATO assault rifles and purchased several thousand Mine Resistant Armed Protection (MRAP) vehicles. Excuse me for saying so, but if this degree of weaponry is what is needed to protect federal property, we must be in a state of anarchy without knowing it!
Why does the DHS need these high-powered armaments? What are they anticipating or planning and why are so few in the media and Congress seeking answers? Could it have anything to do with Mr. Obama's call for that national security force back in 2008?
During the deliberations leading to the drafting of our Constitution in 1787, Benjamin Franklin, while leaving Independence Hall in Philadelphia was approached by a Mrs. Powell, who asked, "Well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation, Franklin replied, "A republic, if you can keep it."
I pray to God that we can keep it!

Ned Yost media session: June 26
Before wrapping up a three game series with today's 1:10 contest vs. the Chicago Cubs, Royals manager Ned Yost praised his outfielders for their defensive performance so far this season.
"They're gifted with tremendous arm strength, they're all gifted with a relatively short release, and they're all gifted with accuracy in their throws," Yost said.
To maintain arm strength and skill, Yost explained that his outfielders and catchers will practice outfield assists every third day and at least once a series. Yost mentioned left fielder Alex Gordon, explaining that converting the once infielder to an outfielder role gives Gordon the advantage when fielding the ball.
"But Alex [Gordon] has got a good, true, strong throw with a very short release and that helps him in all cases," Yost said.
Right handed starter Luke Hochevar will be taking the mound today vs. the Chicago Cubs right hander Randy Wells. The Royals skipper is confident in finding consistency between Hochevar's windup and the stretch, explaining that ironing some of the mechanics out will improve Hochevar's performance late in the game. The Royals squad will be hitting the road to continue Interleague play vs. the San Diego Padres with tomorrow's 9:05 (CT) contest.

Your expert guide to the greatest
fine wine region on earth
Bordeaux's greatest names, legends such as Mouton Rothschild and Lafite, are spoken of in hushed tones, but there are hundreds, if not thousands, that are overlooked.
But that's where 20 years of experience working in the wine industry and a wealth of contacts comes in very handy. Below you will find stars of tomorrow from groundbreaking artisan winemakers determined to mix it with the greatest and most revered estates.
Unique, characterful and unmistakably great claret, they are all, without exception, fantastic value for money – these are some of the best buys of my career.
Xenia Irwin, Master of WineVIEW ALL BORDEAUX
Like a favourite armchair, these are warm, comforting and always welcome. These are the clarets that the Waitrose team of buyers adore.
Any doubts about the astonishing quality of this unstoppable château are quickly answered by the leading critics. And in a vintage as remarkable as 2010, even the most experienced are reaching for superlatives.
Here is what the world's most influential critics Robert Parker had to say about Pontet-Canet's 2010 vintage: "An astounding, compelling wine with the classic Pauillac nose more often associated with its cross-street neighbor, Mouton-Rothschild, creme de cassis, there are also some violets and other assorted floral notes.
The wine has off-the-charts massiveness and intensity but never comes across as heavy, overbearing or astringent.The freshness, laser-like precision, and full-bodied, massive richness and extract are simply remarkable to behold and experience.
It is very easy, to become jaded tasting such great wines from a great vintage, but it is really a privilege to taste something as amazing as this". 100 points
(Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, February 2013)FIND OUT MORE
Bordeaux is a little like being a kid in a giant sweet shop – so many fantastic wines, so much choice (there are over 9000 producers!). And if you know where to look, you can get fantastic deals.
I've had the good fortune to taste some amazing wines during my 20 year buying career, but few compare to these icons. They are life-enhancing experiences that I would recommend to any wine lover.

Classic Truck Graveyard - Farm Truck Fever IIIWritten by on July 1, 2009 Contributors: Laura Zwieschowski The Rust Belt
Exposed to a constant mixture of snow, rain, and salt during the course of the Rust Belt's harsh winters, the sight of vintage trucks riding out retirement years grazing in a field is a rarity to say the least. When photographer Laura Zwieschowski offered these photos taken right before the onset of last winter we jumped at the chance to share them with Custom Classic Trucks readers.
Artist's statement: "I was recently invited to shoot the private "auto graveyard" of a friend's family. It's the most magical spot-generations of cars and trucks at the end of their use, left to decay gently as the attachment of their owners fades and disappears over time. These old layers of rust and paint, broken glass, and rotting seats once held families, friends, lovers, and carried them away to daily events that make up a lifetime. Now they lay empty as the natural cycle of seasons erodes and begins to cover them. But I see the beauty of this transformation through my lens, and know the imagination and sentiment of strangers will create new stories and a sense of continuity for this place through my photographs."

A Geoelectrical Forward Problem
Application ID: 9636
The classical forward problem of geoelectrics (includes electrical resistivity tomography, ERT and earlier techniques as vertical electric sounding, VES) is the calculation of potentials at a given set of electrodes (M,N) while current is injected at other electrodes (A,B) into the ground.
Typically the physical domain (earth) is unbounded to the sides and the bottom because of which one needs to care for modeling infinity at the computational domains.
This model describes the 3D ERT forward problem for 25 electrodes in a homogeneous ground of 100 Ohm-m and compares it to the analytical solution. An extension covers the switching of electrode configurations and the calculation of sensitivity.

Two Door Cinema Club + Bastille
With their highly anticipated new album due for release on September 3rd, Two Door Cinema Club have announced an extensive UK headline tour for January and February 2013.
This event takes place at O2 Academy Leeds, which has achieved Bronze Status for disabled access from Attitude Is Everything.
Two Door Cinema Club
Indie-electro-pop on Kitsuné Music & Glassnote Records. The band formed in 2007, founding members Alex Trimble and Sam Halliday having met at Bangor Grammar school and subsequently teaming up with Kevin Baird. They released their first EP, 'Four Words To Stand On' shortly after. Their debut album, Tourist History, came out in February 2010, characterised by the band's short, sharp songs with punky overtones and indie sensibilities.
Two Door Cinema Club tour dates
Virgin/EMI signings Bastille deliver bewitching electro-pop. Fronted by Dan Smith, the band got their name due to the fact Dan's birthday falls on Bastille Day. He also wanted something neutral yet evocative enough to describe his rhythmically and melodically inventive pop music. Since their inception in 2010, the band have steadily built up an ever-growing audience, resulting in debut album 'Bad Blood' reaching the no.1 position in the UK album charts in March 2013. It has gone on to be the biggest selling debut album of 2013 so far with nearly platinum sales and is one of the top 10 biggest selling albums of the year.

Tampa, Florida -- The Tampa socialite whose emails ultimately led to the downfall of CIA director David Petraeus visited the White House at least 3 times this year. But it's still unclear who Jill Kelley may have met with and the purpose of her visits.
Emails Kelley exchanged with Tampa mayor Bob Buckhorn reference one of the trips.
While inviting the mayor to her daughter's birthday party last week, Kelley name drops: "And some guys (Harward)... aren't even bringing their kids....the DJ and 'open Bar' seem to be attracting the 'Big' Kids! Lol! :- )"
Harward is a reference to CENTCOM Vice Admiral Robert Harward.
But Kelley closes by writing: "ps I was at the WH with my friends in the Administration this weekend- the stress was surreal! But glad POTUS has been re-elected!"
Yet it's interesting to note that most of the pictures that have surfaced show Kelley with Republicans like Sen. Marco Rubio and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
A check of campaign contributions also shows Kelley giving $500 to the Republican Party of Florida in 2010. While her husband and sister gave $250 each to Republican Todd Marks in 2009 and money to Paula Dockery in 2004.
10 News has also confirmed Kelley's sister volunteered on Charlie Crist's gubernatorial campaign in 2006 when he ran as a Republican.
But this week Crist has continued to deny that he ever dated Natalie.

Convection Cooling of Circuit Boards - 3D Natural Convection
Application ID: 449
The suite of models examine the air cooling of circuit boards populated with multiple integrated circuits (ICs), which act as heat sources. Two possible cooling scenarios are depicted: vertically aligned boards using natural convection, and horizontal boards with forced convection (fan cooling). In this case, contributions caused by the induced (forced) flow of air dominate the cooling. To achieve high accuracy, the simulation models heat transport in combination with the fluid flow.
The example models the heat transfer of a circuit-board assembly using the Heat Transfer Module's Conjugate Heat Transfer predefined multiphysics coupling. The modeled scenario is based on work published by A. Ortega.

Weaving Blankets/Making Connections
January 7th, 2009
This is a guest post by Travis Meinolf, a public textile artist and teacher in San Francisco. He has presented his work at numerous art shows and workshops, as well as taught and published pieces on weaving and fiber arts. His newest project, the Weaving Place, allows visitors to learn weaving and produce loom woven pieces.
The Weaving Place is an installation I was invited to bring to the Vancouver Art Gallery in Canada by my friend, artist Kai Althoff. It is a room with six stations for a sculptural weaving device that I have been working with, which is made from a piece of laser-cut plexiglass. Kai made some instructional drawings, which are enlarged and mounted around the room so that people can learn to weave using the looms, spend some time enjoying that process, and either take home what they've made or leave it to be stitched into patchwork wool blankets to be distributed later to people who might need them. Basically, I want to provide this experience of production for its own sake, understood as leisure but also realizing something that will actually function to keep somebody warm.
Sherry Stewart and Kathleen Lemieux at the Vancouver Art Gallery have been really helpful in involving their volunteer and public programs departments. They have recently informed me that participation is so great that they are running out of the yarns that I collected, including a generous donation from Lion Brand! This is just another example of how people coming together can make connections, both physical and social, that enhance our lives.
The show runs until February 15th, and for more information you can visit Vancouver Art Gallery's website at vanartgallery.bc.ca. To see some pictures of the space see flickr.com/weavingplace, and for more examples of my work go to actionweaver.com. (I will be installing more little looms for 4-10 year-olds at the Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose on January 17th!)

While I stood in the queue at my local tobacconist in Soller town, an elderly Majorcan beside me punched the front page of his newspaper and uttered an expletive. Glancing at the headline about the dire state of Spain's economy I smiled sympathetically and agreed that it was indeed a sad state of affairs.
Sighing impatiently he told me that it was time the Spanish government got some cojones, left EMU and went back to the peseta. Others around us nodded in agreement. Warming to his theme he told me that life had been much tougher in his youth when Franco was in power and that instead of going into meltdown, his countrymen should somehow muddle through the chaos until better times returned.
With 57 per cent of the country's youth without work and 6.2 million of the population unemployed it's becoming increasingly difficult for Spaniards… Read more

text: So far the only tag I have drawn for this fall is an Multi Season Deer tag for WA, which I think pretty much anyone who applies draws with 8500 of them given. I haven't decided if I am picking it up. Anyone have any thoughts? What does it really get me for $183? I guess the selling feature is that I could bowhunt early season then gun hunt, but the early archery season is short and I will probably draw a WY antelope tag that will run during that time.... If I lived on the East side and could bowhunt white tails early then gun hunt Mulies it might make sense.

text: Amsterdam has often been titled the Bike Capital of the World with 40% of all traffic movements by bicycle. The ubiquity of bicycles lined up against every building and the number of cyclists on the road is probably the most unique element of this city. The bicycle is a part of the Dutch identity and Amsterdam truly embraces bike culture. When I first moved here, I was so amazed by all the different types of cyclists riding in this town. It is fascinating seeing whole families being carried on one bike or people moving their furniture on the back of their bikes. The bicycle is by far my favorite part of living in Amsterdam. So, inspired by this bike culture along with the coolest blog Copenhagen Cycle Chic, I have decided to post weekly photos of the interesting bikers in this city. This first picture was taken when I first moved to Amsterdam. She is out of focus but this is a little girl riding alone with her teddy bear in Vondelpark. I can't handle the cuteness of this city sometimes.Of course I welcomed her :-p and today I looked a bit further. Turns out Sarah is a filmmaker and motion graphics designer from Japan & Texas (images of samurai westerns jumpstarted my imagination) and moved here last summer. I don't know what it is, but for some odd reason there's always a connection between the simple act of cycling and artistic/creative people...wonder why that is....no, I don't, but I was ready to find the proof in the pudding. Sure enough, going through her show reel, I found a video called '(One month in) Amsterdam'. Now, things coming to conclusion, I figured 'Amsterdam' would be a must-watch. I was right: Looking forward to more, Sarah, consider me a fan!

Aaron Hernandez: Missed time for the third straight season to start his career. His 10 drops on 106 targets (9.4 percent) led to a worse drop rate than Welker (6 percent). Still a below-average blocker. Time for him to be the star the Patriots are paying him to be.
check out the full grading the patriots players one by one.
It's probably time to squash the Welker drop talk and start the real discussion... Is Aaron Hernandez worth what he is being paid? The don't resign Welker because he is dropping more passes is bogus and needs to be addressed with AH81 instead.

I was in the same predicament as you; wanted a sub 4 pound 3 season tent for under $150. Went to my local base camp and they had just gotten in a Terra Nova Wild Country Zephorous 2. It weighs 3.5 lbs and is essentially a huge bivvy with a vestibule that surrounds the entire tent. Its really durable as well and I only payed $140 for it. I believe terra nova is a european company thats why you dont see them too much over here and are hard to find. Heres a place I found that sells them in the US http://www.altrec.com/terra-nova-equ...ephyros-2-tent
Heres a forum that has a bunch of pics and reviews http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/forum/f...utn=46381&umn=
Its not the easiest to set up but you cant get much better or lighter for $140. If some one knows of a better option for the same price let me know, I still have over a month to return this one.

Hinton & Oyens Fire Departments Respond to Calls
(Le Mars) -- The Hinton Fire Department was called last evening shortly after 7:00 p.m. to a fuel spill that occured near the ballparks. Nearly at the same time the Oyens and Remsen Fire Departments responded to a shed fire located at 40913 200th Street. Fire officials were on the scene for less than a half hour. However, the small shed was destroyed. Fire officials believe the fire was started as a result of sparks flying from a nearby burn barrel igniting the small tool shed.
Tebow Fan Receives Jersey
KINGSLEY, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa high school senior who took a cardboard cutout of Tim Tebow to her prom at Kingsley-Pierson High School has received a signed jersey from the NFL quarterback.
Rachel Bird decided the Tebow cutout was a better date than no date for last month's prom.
FRS, an energy drink company Tebow endorses, heard about Bird's "date."
Bird told The Sioux City Journal (http://bit.ly/KOOZg7 ) that the company emailed her and said a signed Tebow jersey was on the way. It arrived on Friday.
Bird says she was surprised by all the attention but is focusing on a more important task. She has a speech to deliver on Sunday as the valedictorian for her class of 28 students.
STEM Summitt Scheduled for Tuesday
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A summit of educators, business leaders and public officials is scheduled for Tuesday as part of an effort to improve science, technology, engineering and math education in
the state.
Gov. Terry Branstad initiated a statewide effort to improve education in the so-called STEM areas by appointing an advisory council. Its first task was to approve six regional hubs at colleges and universities. They were announced on Monday. They'll coordinate educational programs around the state.
The second major task is the summit. It will include working group presentations focusing on strategies for technology-enhanced instruction, STEM teacher recruitment, STEM careers, education
policy, and public awareness.
Speakers will include the chairwoman of the National Association of Manufacturers.
The summit is will be held at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines.

I like the smiley face and especially the little nose wart.;-p

Very cute illo, Tracy. I love the work you did on the textures, the moon, the grass, it all works. I also love her stripped socks and the arched kitty.
I agree, this is a wonderful idea for a Halloween greeting card!

I like the girl and cat a lot. As for suggestions, I think a deep blue for the sky might make it a bit friendlier and complement the grass nicely. Love the little stars though, but not sure about having texture in the grass if everything else is in different, flat style. She's an adorable character, the orange hair and socks are nice touches!

Thanks you guys (and gals) :) for your suggestions and comments. I appreciate them!

I am going to tell you a story, and the truth is it's probably pretty familiar to you already.
Here goes: in today's competitive market, your services are what make your organization innovative. They are what set you apart from your competition.
They are what have taken your IT from being seen as a "cost center" to playing a role as one of the most crucial parts of your organization's success (or failure).
The services you provide are what make your organization innovative. Failure on the part of IT can mean failure for everyone.
(No pressure. Am I right?)
By definition, a competitive market is one that is in constant states of change. New customer demands. Competitive maneuvers. New service offerings. Industry or government regulations.
Speed is of the essence. But, of course there's the need to ensure that everything stays within the governance you've put in place, your security policies and of course you're trying to be as risk adverse as possible.
Doing all of this while navigating the complexity of your IT.
(Like I said. No pressure.)
This is the story you already are pretty familiar with. So now, let's talk about what we do about this.
Today, Tivoli along with Rational and WebSphere are a part of a larger IBM Software Group launch around Business Agility.
There are a number of announcements around Business Agility - about providing you with "business agility levers" that assist with combinations of technology capabilities that accelerate the path to agility with reduced cost and greater efficiency.
This is the start of a series of blogs where we'll be discussing a number of the business agility levers. Today, I'm going to talk about one; Predictive Business Service Management. My next blog will focus on Collaborative Development & Operations.
Predictive Business Service Management
With Business Service Management solutions from IBM, organizations are able to put services in the proper business context so that both IT and the business teams can accurately see the complex relationships their services and supporting technology infrastructure have with each other.
On Tuesday, IBM announced a new version of the Tivoli Business Service Manager solution. Key to this new version (Announcement 211-444) are role-based dashboards with easy self-service, drag & drop capabilities to customize a user's visibility into key service health indicators, KPIs, and business or IT detail required for their role or tackling a current issue.
That level of "Visibility" can be taken to a new level when organizations leverage Predictive Analytics.
Business service disruptions and outages cost organizations millions of dollars per year. Even with existing investments in infrastructure monitoring and performance management solutions, organizations are often unaware of an impending service issue…until it is too late.
Predictive Business Service Management identifies performance issues in an organization's IT and network infrastructure prior to these costly service disruptions or outages. With this type of early warning system, detection is done early enough that mitigating steps can be taken to stop the issue from ever negatively impacting critical application or business services. Put simply: it finds problems before the organization knows to look for them.
Also on Tuesday, IBM previewed a new solution for predictive business service management that will address predictive business service management (Announcement 211-468).
For more information around everything that is happening around the Business Agility launch contact your IBM sales rep or one of our Business Partners using the Business Partner Locator website.
Also, we're doing something a bit new with this announcement. The IBM Software Group Blog, Impact Blog, Rational Blog and this blog are all telling the story together. You'll be able to click across the different blogs and get more information about all aspects of this launch.
Update: there's a great website for the Business Agility launch, specific to Tivoli and service management on our website.

great map. unfortunately youre unreppable at the moment :p i prefer a slightly darker colour on the sea though.
Hi everyone,
Since I have a well established reputation of hyperspeed mapping to keep, here's my latest personnal work, the Ring of Kryll I wanted to test out some new mountains and go back with an oldy touch on this one.
The basic setting to explain the heraldic on this one : the lands of Kryll are ruled by 10 Houses that had discovered the power of some sacred glyphs and therefore spread their influences around the Ring.
As usual, the map was done in Photoshop using some hand-draw material, vector stuff and digital work. Size is 4252x4252px (with less resolution on the uploaded version)
You can find the WIP thread here. Thanks for the support and the comments, which always keep the motivation up. Special thanks to SchwarzKreuz that follow the map all over the process Comments are welcome, i hope you like it!
Feel free to rate, rep or run away

(SportsNetwork.com) - The New Jersey Devils are hoping to avoid a third
straight setback when they visit the Dallas Stars for Thursday's battle at
American Airlines Center.
New Jersey had won two in a row heading into Sunday's outdoor game against the
New York Rangers at Yankee Stadium. The Devils were slammed by a 7-3 score in
that Stadium Series clash in the Bronx and failed to rebound in Tuesday's 3-0
loss in St. Louis.
The Devils enter Thursday mired in a scoreless streak of 103 minutes, 53
seconds. New Jersey hasn't scored since taking a 3-1 lead late in the first
period of Sunday's game against the Rangers, who scored six unanswered goals
to cruise to victory at Yankee Stadium.
New Jersey sent 23 shots Jaroslav Halak's way on Tuesday, but the Blues
goaltender turned aside every one of them. Cory Schneider recorded 22 saves
for the Devils, who have lost four of their last six outings but are still
only two points out of a playoff spot in the East.
"I thought we played a pretty solid road game," Schneider said. "Right now,
solid isn't good enough against the elite teams in the league."
The Devils opened a three-game road trip on Tuesday and fell to 10-14-5 as the
guest this season. New Jersey is scheduled to cap the swing tomorrow evening
in Nashville.
New Jersey recorded a 1-0 home win over the Stars on Jan. 9. Schneider record
the shutout with 26 saves and Michael Ryder scored the game's lone goal. It
was New Jersey's third win in the last four meetings against Dallas, but the
Stars have won five of the past six encounters in Texas.
The Stars hope to get back on track tonight after having a three-game win
streak halted in Monday's home game against the Colorado Avalanche. Alex
Tanguay scored the winner in the third period and Semyon Varlamov finished the
game with 41 saves to help the Avs down Dallas, 4-3.
Tyler Seguin posted two goals and an assist in the loss while Jamie Benn had a
goal and an assist for the Stars. Kari Lehtonen made 17 saves for Dallas.
"It's a tough one. We had a couple of great opportunities late but just
couldn't get it to go," said Dallas head coach Lindy Ruff. "We had probably
five or six point-blank chances in the second to blow the game open but he
(Varlamov) was there and made some saves."
Dallas has a 13-9-5 record on home ice this season and tonight they'll try to
complete a five-game stay at American Airlines Center on a positive note.
With 56 points on the season, the Stars are tied with the Devils in the NHL
standings, but Dallas is seven points out of a playoff spot in the West.

NEWNAN, Ga. (AP) -- A Georgia woman has been reunited with her camera and photos after the camera she lost during a 2007 trip to Hawaii washed ashore in Taiwan.
Lindsay Scallan says she was on a scuba diving trip when she lost her camera during a night dive. Scallan says she recently got a Facebook message from a high school friend saying his wife found an article on a Hawaiian television station's website about a lost camera. Scallan says a China Airlines employee found the camera and says all the images were still on the memory card.
The airline has offered to pay for Scallan to travel to Taiwan to retrieve her camera and meet the man who found it. Scallan calls the experience social media at its best.

Baltimore County News
Rashida White
Public Information Specialist
Baltimore County Recycling Division
Baltimore County is celebrating America Recycles Day in a big way this year, with the opening of its new Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and transfer station in Cockeysville that sorts the tons of materials collected each day through the County's very successful Single Stream Recycling Program.
The new single stream facility will definitely impress visitors as tons of recyclables travel on numerous conveyor belts and are sorted multiple ways, including the use of optical sorters that shoot blasts of air to separate bottles and cans from paper. The highly automated equipment will allow the new MRF to process 35 tons of recyclables per hour, with the capacity to sort more than 70,000 tons of recyclables per year.
Our new MRF is not just impressive to look at, but it will also allow the County to hold on to the full economic benefits of high value recyclables collected from residents. Collectively, the new transfer station and single stream MRF are expected to generate approximately $750,000 to $2 million per year revenue after expenses, depending on market conditions.
The opening is just in time to celebrate America Recycles Day, a national campaign to educate and encourage individuals to recycle. What better way to participate and show that Baltimore County recycles, than to make sure that you are recycling all that you can!

Richard Mosse has won the 2014 Deutsche Börse Photography Prize for his series The Enclave. Mosse's dream-like, false-color portraits taken in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where 5.4 million people have died of war related causes since 1998, were shot using Kodak Aerochrome, and the series recently represented Ireland at the Venice Biennale.
Shortlisted entrants for the prize also included Alberto García-Alix, Jochen Lempert and Lorna Simpson.
García-Alix was nominated for his playful self portraits in the publication Autorretrato/Selfportrait, while Lempert — originally a biologist — was nominated for his monochromatic studies of the natural world. Lorna Simpson caught judges eyes with her installation-like work focusing on gender and identity.
The Deutsche Börse Photography prize — set up by London's Photographers' Gallery, and until 2005 known as the Citigroup Photography Prize — is now in its seventeenth year. The annual award of £30,000 rewards a living photographer, of any nationality, for a specific body of work in an exhibition or publication. Past winners include Adam Broomberg, Oliver Chanarin, Paul Graham, Juergen Teller, Rineke Dijkstra, Richard Billingham and John Stezaker.

Welcome to the Tennis4you Forums!!!

Ernests goes up against Monfils who disposed of Berdych. The past 3-4 months Ernests has progressed steadily. For the first time in years he has done well in all tournaments entered. He finally looks like a player who wants more than just playing, he wants to win.
Very nice to see such a loss sting soooo badly.He needs more of this if he is to be prodded into reaching his potential.Perhaps there is still hope.
Well sometimes its just those tricky draws in the early rounds.Monfils has always been a dangerous player, when he is focused and determined.He was driven by the crowd, he was enjoying his time on the court.Even recording the crowd with his phone during the changeover So, I think in general Gulbis will come out stronger out of this match. I kinda believe he thought this was a certain win, so maybe next time he'll be more 'focused'.
Right now Gulbis' is trying the best he can I believe.He was down 2-5, 0-40 with Monfils serving and got it to tiebrake in the third, to me that shows a lot about what his mindset is now. He may have been tired some in the fourth, so while he works on that fitness area he should also progress in other areas.It's only been this year he has been working hard, gave up the drinks and cigarettes. With the kind of fitness the tour has these days it's hard to catch them. Just generally, it's good to have another dangerous floater around, that's all I consider Gulbis right now till he shows more.

St. Louis (KSDK) - After the surgery, the chemo, the radiation, could part of the prescription to keep breast cancer from recurring be jumping on the treadmill and limiting calories?
Doctors at Siteman Cancer Center say yes, and they want local women who've had breast cancer to sign up for a two year study to prove it.
"We're looking to help them lose weight," said Dr. Kate Wolin of the Siteman Cancer Center, "and we know it's a challenge a lot of breast cancer survivors face."
How much weight? Women who qualify for the study will have a BMI over 25, and they'll be dieting and exercising. They'll be put into two groups.
"We're looking at a more intensive versus less intensive intervention," said Dr. Wolin. "Looking at weight. So, sort of more wellness related concerns for the women and looking at a number of different outcomes after."
Outcomes like whether women have less fatigue and more energy, whether they're physically stronger. But in the end, doctors will compare the two groups to see who lives longer.
"So the quality of life but also the quantity of life," said Dr. Wolin. "So, recurrence and survival have been associated with having an elevated weight."
For more information on the study, call 314-747-1109, or click here.

2014 Arizona Governor race: Fred DuVal formally exploring race for Arizona governor
PHOENIX - Fred Duval, a former Arizona Board of Regents member with deep roots in Democratic Party politics, is now formally exploring a 2014 candidacy for governor.
DuVal on Thursday filed paperwork with the Secretary of State's Office to establish an exploratory committee.

After recession, lessons of pain and resilience
Dan McSwain is the U-T's new business columnist
There's nothing like economic crisis to focus the mind.
My first glimpse came as a teenager, when my dad insisted I tag along as he stalked machinery auctions. It was the early 1980s. Jobs were evaporating by the millions as factories closed by the thousands in what became known as the Rust Belt.
Although his borrowing cost was 20 percent a year, my father was suddenly able to buy high-tech machinery for less than its value, by the pound, as scrap iron.
For his small, contract-machining business, the recession's new arithmetic was relentless: To win work, he had to deeply undercut the internal costs of companies with years of practice making their components, by somehow acquiring technology and expertise more quickly and cheaply than both his customers and competitors.
My dad's company survived and eventually thrived. So did the competing one my brother and I started in 1988, along with the digital media company I co-founded a decade later.
As a capitalist and business journalist in the 21st century, I've had a front-row seat to uncounted stories of boom and bust, adaptation and rebirth. My problem is that I tend to learn the hard way.
For example, I sold my half of my first company so I could consume bourbon and other drugs full time. After a few years in self-imposed hell, I woke up — I haven't had a drink, wrecked a car or been to jail in nearly 16 years.
But I won't soon forget what it's like to tumble from wealthy to homeless, and claw back to the middle class. And I learned that few crises, professional or personal, are navigated successfully without plenty of help.
In business, I have been extraordinarily lucky. Our precision-machining company rode the wave of falling interest rates and booming consumption that defined the Reagan recovery. Our digital media company had a sterling business plan, but my ability to raise money had more to do with timing. It was the height of the late-1990s tech-stock boom, an era when investors threw cash at companies that lacked revenue and used sock puppets to explain their products.
As a journalist, my work has swayed with the various pendulum swings of the economy. My job was to dispassionately explain the political-regulatory debacle of California's power crisis, the giddy free-for-all of its housing boom, and the grinding despair of its aftermath. It was hard to sit on my hands.
Through four recessions, I have come to loathe the term "creative destruction." Clearly, survivors can emerge stronger. But it's dangerous to be lulled by the happy ending, for tears await those who forget the Darwinian brutality of the business cycle.
This decade's Great Recession is no different. Last week, I talked to a bank president who reported that, compared to five years ago, small-business owners applying for loans are displaying dramatic improvement in cash management, financial reporting and operations.
Have owners gotten better, or did the sloppy ones all go broke? Our impressed banker is certainly seeing both outcomes.
Meanwhile, carpenters have gone without steady work for seven years. Downsized community colleges turn away baby boomers who, instead of enjoying retirement, are burning through savings and grasping for retraining.
Such stress persists despite the sudden acceleration of San Diego's pokey recovery. Home prices are rising, construction is at last picking up, unemployment has ticked below 8 percent.
I've come to see the numbers of business, whether on an income statement or a government report, as essentially like the readings on a thermometer: They describe the condition of people — real, living and frequently unpredictable.

Job candidates should capitalize on a more diverse set of resources when looking for work, say the sponsors of a new study on how different generations conduct their job searches.
The multigenerational job-search study was released Sept. 24 by Beyond.com, a Pennsylvania-based career network that helps connect job seekers and employers, and Millennial Branding, a Generation Y research and management consulting firm based in Boston. It surveyed 5,268 job seekers, including 742 from the millennials (roughly ages 18 to 29), 1,676 from Generation X (ages 30 to 47) and 2,850 baby boomers (ages 48 to 67).
The study found that all generations were spending almost all of their time job searching online instead of offline, and spending between five and 20 hours per week searching. Boomers turn to LinkedIn first, while Gen X and millennials are first using Google and Google Plus.
Fewer than 15 percent of all generations reported having their own professional website, said Dan Schawbel, founder and managing partner of Millennial Branding and a Gen Y expert and author. As a result, candidates are missing out on a huge opportunity, he said.
"You'd think more people would invest in their own website because that's your place to really differentiate yourself and show all you can provide to a company," he said. "You can do that through videos, too, not just posting your résumé, and you can create a blog."
Joe Weinlick, vice president of marketing for Beyond.com, said more job seekers should customize their cover letters and create more of a professional presence online.
"If they're not doing these things, the employer is not going to find them because they're generic," Weinlick said. "They have to be thinking, 'What do I look like online?' "
Weinlick said there's also a clear message from employers from the results. Because candidates aren't really promoting themselves well, employers need to come up with better ways to find the best prospects, he said.
One suggestion, Weinlick said, was for employers to create three or four different job posting descriptions for the same position. In this way, employers might find more candidates with slightly different experience levels that can each work for a given opening.
While social media and online tools can be invaluable in the job search, Schawbel cautioned candidates not to rely on those tools completely. "If everyone is searching online, maybe you can do more searching offline," he said. "At the end of the day, you can't really get hired without meeting someone face to face, and I don't see that changing anytime soon."
Other key highlights of the study include:
- The length of the job search is greatest for baby boomers, followed by Gen X and then millennials, with 25 percent of baby boomers having a job search of more than a year.
- Job boards are the top resources for job seekers of all generations, and are most popular with baby boomers. The second most popular resource is company websites, followed by classified ads.
- Entrepreneurship is on the rise among all generations. About a third of all respondents considered starting their own business rather than continuing their job search. The study notes 36 percent of Gen X, 35 percent of baby boomers and 31 percent of millennials have considered becoming entrepreneurs.

Exactly ... DISH built their own equipment, DirecTV just went the licensing route.
I don't remember any Tivo Dish equipment
But I do remember a TON of Tivo Directv equipment.
DirecTV ended up paying Tivo a lot of money over the years to have a DVR. DISH settled the lawsuit with similar payments. The ruling only paid Tivo what DISH would have paid had they been licensing the technology all along. It was a wash.
