New California fishing license proposed by Sen. Tom Berryhill
Here's a common sense fishing regulation for a change from a California politician.
Sen. Tom Berryhill, R-Twain Harte, has introduced Senate Bill 583, a measure that creates a fishing license that would be good for 12 consecutive months, regardless of purchase date, for a small extra fee.
The fee has not been determined yet, and that's the only scary thing about the bill from this viewpoint.
A spokesman for Berryhill said the Department of Fish and Wildlife will determine the extra fee for the 12-month consecutive license, but it will have to base it on the cost of administration fees and implementation fees. That's where we have to trust DFW officials to do the right thing. If DFW adds too much to the license fee, it won't be worth it for an angler to buy it. But if DFW follows the common sense of Berryhill's bill, and adds a small administrative fee, look for license sales to increase in this state as they reportedly have in other states that allow the 12 consecutive month license. That's the reasoning and rationale behind Berryhill's bill, and it makes sense.
Here's why.
Say you're one of those anglers who wait until the saltwater season heats up in May or June before you buy your license. At present, if you buy that license in June, it will expire Dec. 31. But if Berryhill's law passes, a fishing license will be good from the day you buy it in June until the following June. That alone will incentivize anglers to buy the longer license. We'll probably see more anglers fishing in the winter and spring, too.
"It makes sense to give people an option to buy a 12 consecutive month license," Berryhill said. "Right now if you purchase the license in June you are paying for a full year but only using it for half of the year. I think people should have the option to pay a little more for a 12-consecutive month license. It just seems fair and makes it easier for the Fisherman."
Right now Californians have three license options. They can buy one for the calendar year, a 2-day license and a one-day license. Non-residents may buy an annual license or a 10-day license. But now, for a modest fee, the license will be good for 12 consecutive months.
"I am a fisherman myself," Berryhill added. "When you get an opportunity to fish somewhere great, you want to get in your truck and go, not have to line up a new fishing license because the one you bought 5 months ago – for full price - is no good anymore."
Berryhill represents the counties of Fresno, Madera, Mariposa, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne, along with Amador, Calaveras, Inyo, Mono, Tulare and parts of Sacramento. All of them are loaded with fishing opportunities, with Inyo and Mono the counties that host the Eastern Sierra annual trout opener each April.
Knives on planes: For the first time since 9/11 when terrorists used box cutters to hijack four airplanes, the TSA will now allow airline passengers to carry folding knives that are no longer than 2.36 inches long and a half-inch wide. According to the TSA, agents at the 20 largest airports confiscate four tons of knives every month. They want to concentrate on liquid explosives that they consider more of a threat to passenger safety than such things as Swiss Army knives and other such small knives.
Turkey calls: The season opens March 30 after a two-day junior season on March 23-24. It's time to start assembling calls and other gear for that first sunrise in the turkey woods. I've never been disappointed with a turkey call from H.S. Strut, or any product they make for that matter. Their new H.S. Strut Legacy friction pan call comes in glass and slate versions for those soft tree yelps, clucks and purrs or excited high-pitched cackles. The calls have a great look, too, available in a walnut pot on the slate and cherry wood on the glass model. They're sealed and water-resistant and compact enough to fit in a shirt pocket for easy access when that tom turkey surprises you with a gobble or gets hung up at 100 yards. Never rely on one call when hunting spring gobblers. The Legacy calls come with a premium flex Legacy diaphragm call, too, for times when you want your hands free to take care of pulling the trigger on that boss tom. The set retails at around $27.99. Check www.hunterspec.com or call (319) 395-0321.
Gun battles: There is a lot of misinformation being dealt about guns and ammo right now. And there's even more bad dope going around about the various groups who are fighting to protect Second Amendment rights.
It's no secret that mainstream media members, unaware or ignorant to gun ownership, shooting or hunting, have been trying to drive a wedge between organizations such as the National Shooting Sports Foundation and the NRA, two groups who fight the daily battle for citizen gun rights in America. The NSSF, the trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry, believes the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) must be fixed to include more state criminal and mental health records. A piece in the Washington Post on Wednesday implies that the NSSF's stance on NICS puts it at odds with the NRA. The NSSF has countered that with a statement, saying, "Regarding so-called universal background checks or background checks that extend beyond retail sales or to private transfers such as a father passing on a favorite hunting rifle to his son, our big concern is one shared by millions of firearms owners – that enforcing checks of used firearm transfers between individuals will lead to the creation of a national registry of firearms, something that Congress has expressly prohibited. In addition, the current background check system would need to be greatly expanded at huge cost to handle the additional checks. Canada is actually in the process of dismantling its expensive and inefficient rifle and shotgun registry because it takes up police time better used elsewhere. We also have concerns related to the woeful lack of prosecutions of persons flagged by NICS as prohibited from purchasing a firearm, as well as concerns about imposing on firearms retailers increased regulatory burdens and exposure to liability for merchandise they didn't sell."
Adventurers wanted: We're getting bullish on lists here at U-T San Diego, and here's one that really impressed me. How about a Bucket List for adventurers in California before the state runs us all out of here with taxes to fund the state's ever-growing entitlement class.

VINCENT, Ohio -Ohio University's outdoor record in the women's discus throw is 165 feet, 6 inches.
Warren's 5-foot-11 Emma Ryan is hoping to get an opportunity to break Erica Ferri's 1998 mark someday after she attends OU next school semester.
On Monday in the Warrior gym, Ryan signed a national letter of intent to continue her education at Ohio and compete on the Bobcats' outdoor and indoor track and field squad.
Nick Pero is Ohio's throws coach, and Clay Calkins is the women's head track and field coach.
"I love the campus and coaches - and it's close to home" said Ryan, who is undecided on her major but leaning towards nursing.
Academically at Warren, Ryan owns a 3.5 GPA.
The Ohio Bobcats, an NCAA Division I school located in nearby Athens, are members of the Mid-American Conference. The green and white lady thinclads compete at the Goldsberry Track.
"We're very excited for Emma to be able to continue throwing and pursuing a college career," said Warren girls track and field coach Sally Maddox.
"She'll also be close to home."
Ryan will be joining three other Warren student-athletes at OU. Dylan Leffingwell and Grant Venham are on the Bobcats' football roster, while Wes Cochran runs cross country at the MAC school.
At Warren, Ryan is an all-round athlete and a letterwinner in three sports - volleyball, basketball, and track and field.
"Emma is very talented athletically," said Warren boys and throws coach Al Riffey.
"She enjoys throwing the discus and works hard at it."
Said Maddox, "She played other sports in high school, and it'll be intesting to see what she accomplishes in college when she focuses on throwing year-round."
While the discus is her specialty, Ryan said she'll also be throwing the hammer and weight throw in college.
In track, Ryan is a three-time All-Ohio honoree in the discus, and is currently seeking a fourth time on the podium at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in the OHSAA State Track and Field Championship on the campus of The Ohio State University on June 8.
Last year, Ryan threw her best at state, and placed seventh in Division I with a throw of 136-5.
When she was a freshman and sophomore, she competed in Division II at state.
In 2011, Ryan medaled with a throw of 128-0 in the discus event, good for third place. The week before in a regional at Meadowbrook in Byesville, she set a personal record in the event with a first-place toss of 139-4.
In 2010, Ryan was the only freshman competing in the discus at state, and she finished fourth with a throw of 125-7.
Recently, at the Don Marks Invitational at Morgan High in McConnelsville, Ryan was first in both the discus (135-4) and shot put (36-10).
This spring, Ryan's best throw in the discus has been 138-3.
Ryan is the daughter of Larry Ryan and Deana Wolfe. She has two sisters, Millie and Kate Ryan.

I swear, I don't know what took 'em so long. After almost four years above 8 percent, the unemployment rate is now 7.8 percent - if you squint enough and hold your hand like this... Just in time for the election, too. Who could have seen that coming?
If you believe it, I have a bridge to show you between Manhattan and Brooklyn. On the National Register of Historic Places, good traffic flow, going cheap...
July of this year saw 144,000 new jobs; still, the unemployment rate went up to 8.3 percent. At least the boiled-down, simplified, guesstimate "U3" rate did. But last month, through a miracle of what might be termed "voodoo math," the Bureau of Labor Statistics tells us we created 114,000 new jobs - below the rate of population increase - and the unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 p percent. The BLS also announced that the total number of employed Americans grew by 873,000. Excuse me? Did almost a million of us agree last month to take one-sixth of a job? Or switch to the underground economy, perhaps?
To understand why this alchemy of numbers is something that ought to make you go "h'mmmm," consider this: in September of 2004, unemployment dropped from 5.5 percent to 5.4 percent. The increase in new jobs triggering the decrease was 144,000 - exactly the same as in last July. So 144,000 new jobs in a smaller U.S. population (295 million vs. 314 million) dropped unemployment by a miniscule 0.1%, but 8 years later, with a larger population, there are 114,000 new jobs and somehow the drop in unemployment triples: from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent?
Maybe it's a miscalculation. The Bureau of Labor Statistics freely admits that its standard margin of error in calculating job numbers is 100,000. Maybe it's the 340,000 people that were consigned by fiat to the ranks of those "marginally attached to the workforce," and therefore not counted among September's "U3" unemployment number - the one getting the coverage. Maybe it's something else.
Whatever the reason, a lot of economists are scratching their heads over it. Perhaps it would be more useful to consider the "U6" figure, which includes those working part time who want full time employment, those who are registered as unemployed and workforce "dropouts" who still want to work. This rate has declined slightly as well - to 14.7 percent for September.
Whatever the real figure is - or will be, once it is "adjusted," as June, July and August have been - the bemusement and argumentation illustrates what one might term "the war over fact" which has infected our nation's politics. Examples abound: will Obamacare's Independent Payment Advisory Board limit access to medical care? Yes. Is Mitt Romney proposing a "Five trillion dollar tax cut?" No. Will Barack Obama's budget plan really "reduce the deficit by $4 trillion?" No. Does the "Dodd-Frank" bank oversight law really designate some banks "too big to fail?" Yes. But to a partisan of the left, the responses would be "no, yes, yes, and no," respectively.
And those are easy queries; answers involve the ability to read and add, but little else. When it comes to complex questions or points of policy, facts don't become foggy, they often simply take a holiday. How are humans responsible for "global warming," exactly? Can one prove it without ambiguous and impenetrably complex computer models? No. Or yes. Who was responsible for the murder of our diplomats in Libya, terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda, or a YouTube videographer? Most Americans looked at the deed and the date and drew reasonable conclusions; the Administration is still trying to work it out. Are the Syrian rebels more of a menace to US interests in the Middle East than the Assad regime? No. Or yes. Or, if one is speaking for the Administration, "no - if that means we don't have to do anything."
These days we cannot agree on the direction of sunrise because to do so would require half of us to admit the other half is correct, which we will not do, even when we're blinded by the dawn. Our situation is worsened because we disagree about what our country is, what our goals as a society should be - and even on whether we are one society anymore. Clarity is not provided by politicians who fan the flame of division, who insist that facts bend to partisanship, who refuse to recognize any reality not reflecting their pet theories. These men and women, who make careers from slippery words and the avoidance of blame are not the hope of tomorrow. Their tomorrow is not the world of our children, it's the next election. They are not problem-solvers, they are the problem. And that's a fact.
Don't you agree?

The worst restaurant in the world MAR 07 2011
A.A. Gill has a hilarious and epic review of L'Ami Louis in Paris, which he dubs "the worst restaurant in the world".
What you actually find when you arrive at L'Ami Louis is singularly unprepossessing. It's a long, dark corridor with luggage racks stretching the length of the room. It gives you the feeling of being in a second-class railway carriage in the Balkans. It's painted a shiny, distressed dung brown. The cramped tables are set with labially pink cloths, which give it a colonic appeal and the awkward sense that you might be a suppository. In the middle of the room is a stubby stove that also looks vaguely proctological.

Yarn Profile: Land O Lace Lou Lou
First Impressions
All the yarns are hand-dyed to order. The available colorways are divided into two families. First, the semisolid "Just Abouts," in which one color exists in varying saturations. Second, the "Variegated" yarns, in which a second or even third color is added to a dominant first. The variegated colors are not disharmonious or jarring. In many cases, the color changes are gentle enough to work with most lace without distracting from the pattern.
The second part of the Land O Lace story is the yarns themselves. Currently you'll find nine lace yarns available in weights ranging from lace to fingering, and in compositions ranging from two to four plies. The fiber content is predominantly wool (either lamb's wool, generic wool,or Merino) with a smattering of silk at different percentages.
But one very special blend called Lou Lou caught my eye: 70% baby alpaca, 20% silk, and 10% cashmere. I'd seen the same blend at the Sock Summit in August 2009 at the Wool Candy booth. Those skeins were larger and had rich, moody colorways, but the yarns are otherwise identical. Which makes me giddy, because that means a whole new lace yarn base is slowly making its way into the hand-dyed yarn world.
For this review, I chose a light grassy Just About shade called Gully. On slightly larger-than-called-for needles, I swatched the beginnings of Evelyn Clark's Prairie Rose Shawl from my upcoming book, The Knitter's Book of Wool.
Knitting Up
Lou Lou behaves in a very smooth, fluid manner—telltale signs of alpaca and silk. There is no real bounce or elasticity going on here, which means maintaining an even tension is a challenge. At first, the yarn couldn't decide if it wanted anything to do with my needles or not. But working on wooden needles (the American holly needles from week) with decisive tips made knitting much easier.
I encountered no knots in my skein, which may not be surprising if you read the Land O Lace policy. "We are absolutely fanatics when it comes to knots—and will eliminate any skeins we find with them. Sometimes, being human, we miss one. Please tell us if you find one and cannot live with it, and we will make it right." A refreshingly helpful policy from someone who has obviously herself been betrayed by knots.
Blocking / Washing
Baby alpaca and silk have less bounce and elasticity than Merino, which meant that the yarn withstood a little less stretching during blocking before crying uncle. Meanwhile, as the swatch dried I could see that the cashmere had bloomed during wash, giving the fabric a lovely peach-fuzz halo.
Add a sufficient dose of 20% silk to the mix, and a 10% dusting of cashmere, and you have a truly luxurious, soft, and slinky yarn. The silk anchors the fibers and gives the delicate yarn strength, helping your knitted fabric from being too light and flyaway. And the cashmere, with its delicate halo, puts the whole mix right over the top.
In terms of logistics, I mentioned that almost all the Land O Lace yarns are dyed to order. This doesn't mean you have to wait a month for your yarn, either. They claim a five- to seven-day timeframe for turning around orders, and mine shipped within two days. Still, this is a small business. If a delay occurs, be patient.
Ultimately, Lou Lou is just one example of what a skilled hand-dyer can do with a lovely and unusual yarn base. I hope we'll see more hand-dyers try this blend because it has great potential. In fact, I like to consider it the un-brushed, baby alpaca-based love-child of Rowan Kidsilk Haze and Filatura di Crosa Superior.

Irving'e karşı Lipstadt
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< The case for the Defendan...
Irving's case as to the death toll and his use of TB47
11.29 By way of general answer to the criticism of manner in which he has made exaggerated claims as to the number of those killed in the bombing, Irving submits that at all times (a) he has set and published the proper upper and lower limits for the estimates that he gave, giving a range of figures which necessarily decreased over the years as the state of information improved and (b) that he had an adequate basis for the figures which he provided in his works.
11.30 Irving Irving emphasised that he had not been responsible for the claims as to the number of casualties made on the dustjacket of the sub-licensed Corgi edition of Dresden. He agreed that in the 1977 and 1991 editions of the book he wrote that the death toll was estimated at a quarter of a million. There were estimates as high as that. One such estimate derived from a West German government publication. Irving referred also to a US Air Force document dated 19 July 1945 which gave an estimate of 250,000 for the number of casualties in Dresden but had to accept that there was no indication where the informants identified in the document (who were Nazi medical officers) had got their information from.
11.31 Irving accepted that he had been aware that during the war Goebbels had sought to make use for propaganda purposes of the raid on Dresden and that to that end he had put into circulation a forged document giving a figure for deaths of 202,040. He mentioned this in the first edition of Destruction of Dresden published in 1963 as well as in a letter to his publisher in 1the same year.
11.32 Irving agreed that in 1964 that he was provided with a copy of TB47 by Hahn in the circumstances I have described. It was because of its provenance that Irving did not immediately dismiss it as a forgery on the ground that the figures contained it were the same as those contained in Goebbels's propaganda forgery. When he first saw TB47, Irving believed that his indirect source for the document, Dr Funfack, had been the Deputy Chief Medical Officer who had been responsible for disposing of the corpses of the victims. He agreed that in January 1965 he received a letter from Dr Funfack in which the doctor denied having been Deputy Chief Medical Officer or having been involved with the disposal of corpses. But Irving testified that he did not believe what Funfack said. He produced a photograph depicting piles of corpses in which he claimed that Funfack can be seen in the background wearing Nazi uniform. The reason, according to Irving, for Funfack's false denial is that he, living in Communist East Germany, was terrified to admit that he had been a senior medical officer in a Nazi city during the war. Irving claimed that he had been informed that Funfack had indeed been Deputy Chief Medical Officer but he did not vouchsafe who provided that information. Irving agreed that he had never revealed the fact that Funfack had denied knowledge of TB47.
11.33 When Irving first saw the figures in TB47, his reaction was that, if true, they were sensational. However, Irving accepted that from the first there was grave doubt about the figures contained it and that there was concern that the figures for deaths (202,000) and expected deaths (250,000) might be forged. Asked about letters he wrote soon after coming into possession of TB47, Irving agreed that he had expressed himself as entirely satisfied as to the authenticity of the document, despite his reservations about the figures for deaths contained in it. He did, however point out that in his letter to Irving of 19 January 1965 Funfack wrote that in February 1945 General Mehnert, City Kommandant of Dresden, had mentioned to him a figure of 140,000 dead and that Professor Fetscher of the Civil Defence Organisation had spoken of 180,000 dead. Even so, he agreed that the figures in the purported TB47 called for proper enquiries and for further investigations to be made. Irving duly wrote to the German Federal Archive enquiring about the document and sought information as to the whereabouts of its author, Colonel Grosse.
11.34 In relation to his letter to the Provost of Coventry urging him to display TB47 because of the impact the figure for deaths would achieve, Irving pointed out that TB47 mentions not only casualties but also damage to property. He conceded that the figures had not been substantiated but added that a figure for deaths of 35,000 would have been equally shocking. Irving said that the higher figure of over 200,000 deaths appeared to him to be in line with the number of deaths in Hiroshima and other major air raid disasters. Irving saw nothing improper in the use of TB47 made in his letter to the Provost.
11.35 Irving claimed to have gone to great lengths to follow up the suggestion made in Funfack's letter to Irving of 16 January 1965 that the Red Cross might be able to provide him with information. He agreed that in the event the Red Cross had been unable to provide any information. He denied that in the 1966 Corgi edition of Destruction of Dresden the assertion that Kleiner of the Red Cross had been informed by General Mehnert that the death toll was 140,000 was an invention by him. But he was unable to be specific as to where the information came from.
11.36 Irving acknowledged that in February 1965 he had received a letter from Theo Miller, formerly of the Dresden clearing staff. He conceded that there was no reason to doubt Miller's good faith but claimed (despite the fact that Miller's figure of 30,000 is very close to the figure in the genuine TB47) that he may have been fantasising. He agreed that he had made no mention of Miller's evidence. But he rejected the suggestion that he had been guilty of applying double standards in placing reliance on third-hand hearsay accounts provided by Funfack and ignoring first-hand evidence from someone directly involved in dealing with the bodies of those killed in the raid. Irving explained that it is part of the skill of an historian to select and reject evidence according to his assessment of its reliability. Irving indignantly denied the suggestion that he had deliberately suppressed the evidence of Miller.
11.37 Irving confirmed that he had tracked down the widow of Colonel Grosse, the author of TB47. He said that Frau Grosse remembered her husband having spoke of a figure of about 202,000 deaths.
11.38 Irving received a copy of Situation Report 1404, which estimated the final death toll at 25,000, in May 1966 (see paragraph 11.24 above). Irving says that he was advised at that time by his London publisher to keep quiet about the new figures. But he emphasised that he promptly made the new figures public in his letter to the Times, in which he made clear his acceptance of the fact that the figures in the copy of TB47 on which he had relied had been forged. He circulated 500 copies of his letter. He suggested that this was a highly unusual step for an historian to take. Most historians would wait and publish the new information in their next book. He argued that his conduct demonstrates that he has not sought to obfuscate the true number killed in the bombing. Asked to explain why, having done that, he had written to his Italian publisher that he did not think too much importance should be attached to Situation Report 1404, Irving replied that he had in mind the estimates reportedly made by Mehnert and Fetscher; death tolls in other comparable disasters and the view expressed in letters to him by Dresden civilians that the upper limit was 250,000 deaths. Irving added that the author of the report, being the man in charge of civil defence, had a motive for understating the number of casualties.
11.39 Irving testified that he was unaware of the genuine TB47, discovered by Bergander, until it was put to him in cross-examination. He accepted, however, that the figures contained in it (deaths 20,000, expected ultimate death toll 25,000) are correct since they tally with the report of the Dresden Police Chief and the Situation Report 1404. Despite this concession Irving argued that the true figure for the number of deaths is between 60,000 and 100,000. He maintained that, at the date of TB47 and the two reports, the corpses in the cellars of the city's houses had not been cleared. He agreed, however, that research indicates that only 1,800 bodies were recovered from beneath the ruined buildings in Dresden. Irving suggested that many would have been burnt literally to ashes. He pointed out that the city was at the time crowded with refugees fleeing from the Russians advancing from the east. It is impossible to know how many refugees there were or what has become of them. Irving would not accept the suggestion put to him that the maximum total figure is 35,000.
11.40 When asked why, after authentic reports had come to light all giving figures for deaths in the region of 30,000 he had repeatedly mentioned, on the occasions I have already itemised in paragraph 11.6 and 11.7 above, vastly higher figures, Irving explained that the top bracket was based on many letters he had received over the years. It is, said Irving, a matter of paying your money and taking your choice. As to the reference in Hitler's War (1991) edition to a death toll of a quarter of a million, Irving explained that this was the estimate which had been given to Hitler. The lowest figures became available to him in 1997 when he received the book which Friedrich Reichert had published in 1994. Unfortunately this information was received after the most recent edition of Dresden had gone to press.

This code may be redeemed on a single WoW account. Thus, players who have more than one WoW account bound to their Battle.net accounts must choose which account will receive this pet.
Note: The pet codes are region-specific, so be sure to order for your region. (Plushes ordered from the US store cannot be redeemed on EU servers.)
The EU Blizzard store no longer sells this plush toy. It's unknown if it will be available again in the future.
I can't find this in the Blizz store anymore. Is it retired?
I have ordered this from the US store and redeemed on my EU account. about 1-2 years ago.
Blizzard Gear store -> Collectibles -> Shop by IP -> Warcraft -> page 2
Listed as "Gryphon hatchling plush with bonus in-game companion"
On January 11th, 2015, I was able to order this little guy when it had previously been missing from the store! It's in the Blizzard Gear store, under Collectables. I found it on page two. Good luck!
Gone... again, from the store, along with its counter part the Wind Rider Cub.
Edit: Both appear in stock again.
I just ordered this pet today from the blizzard merchandise store, link found on side menu of Blizzard Store, Linked from the Notes section in the general info tab here. direct link http://gear.blizzard.com/index.php/default/gryphon-hatchling-with-bonus-in-game-companion-b60870.html
Looking forward to recieving it. also ordered the Wind Rider Cub.
I got him this morning, 11 days later. looking forward to levelling him
I got this and the Wind Rider from my family for my college graduation back in 2010. Can't think of a better gift.
After searching all thru the available merchandise this "plushie" or the accompanying code is no longer available at the Blizzard store. You are at the mercy of unscrupulous sellers and dealers. Good luck.
With the opening of the Blizzard gear store, this guy is for sale again. I had missed out on it and quickly snatched one up and recieved it a few days after. If you're missing it, I'd suggest picking it up ASAP. as the wind rider cub sold out extremely quickly. This one may follow suit soon.
This pet and its plushy were recently removed from the Pet Store along with the horde pet and plushy ever since Blizzard changed to the new format.
Chimeras: I think that you're confused with the Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling which is sharing the same model.
Just as the Wind Rider Cub, it's available again from the US-Blizzard Store. The code also works on EU-Account.
Get it as soon as possible though, as they may be sold out again soon.
This pet and the horde version are now no longer available to EU customers from the pet store. Only versions for the US are still available :(
I bought mine off ebay for 7 bucks, used the loot card and resold the plushie for the same price, no money lost. (also, for the horde pet, I bought from blizzard and resold the plushie for MORE than the store to someone from a foreign country, keep that in mind)
Fun to have if yer main flying mount is a griffin. Also, the little collar he wears matches nicely with the pet leashes, so it doesn't look like there is a rope just "magically" appearing out of his body.
But all my gifts i got early but one. They handed me a lil box, i was stunned b/c i was so keen on watching the fedex trucks when they came. I opened it and at first when i saw the bag i was saying "wtf" but i noticed the words on it and instantly opened it. This lil buddy is so cute and i love the armor plate on it, its not some sewed on thing its all real and made with great quality. <3 i luv his lil feet along with the cute claws.
As for the plush itself; It is extremely soft and perfect for kids to cuddle up with at night. And safe for babies to; as there are no plastic parts that may fall off or exposed wires that may hurt your infant. It's a perfect gift for children, which I'm sure my brother in law will enjoy it for his son. (He's Alliance. Heh.)

SAN FRANCISCO -- A 28-year-old journeyman pitcher who was designated for assignment twice by the Giants this year came within one strike and a few feet from perhaps the most unlikely perfect game in baseball history Friday night at AT&T Park.
Yusmeiro Petit, making just his third start for the Giants this season and the 40th in an up-and-down major league career, recorded 26 consecutive outs and had a 3-2 count against Arizona Diamondbacks pinch-hitter Eric Chavez with two outs in the ninth inning. But Chavez lined a single to right field that just eluded the diving try of outfielder Hunter Pence.
Petit quickly regrouped to record the last out and settled for a one-hitter, his first major league complete game and shutout. He needed just 95 pitches -- 69 of them strikes -- to throw the game of his life in a 3-0 Giants victory, and at least he seemed satisfied with that. But his team was taking it harder.
Pence, for one, was still replaying the Chavez single in his mind.
"It felt like when it was hit it was one of those dreams where you can't run fast enough," said Pence, who saved Tim Lincecum's no-hitter earlier in the year with a diving catch. "Off the bat, it was just a little too far. But I gave it my best effort, and I was just a little bit shy."
Petit said he told himself that when the count got to 3-2, he had to come up with just the right pitch, and he thought he'd thrown it -- a fastball low and outside. But Chavez somehow turned on it and flipped it into the outfield.
"A lot of credit to Chavez, good at-bat," catcher Hector Sanchez said. "He took a lot of good pitches down in the zone. Finally, on 3-2, (Yusmeiro) threw a really good pitch on the outside corner, but Chavez hit it really good."
"Usually when you try to pull a pitch like that you roll it over and ground out," said Pence.
Petit also threw a tantalizing pitch on 2-2 -- a curveball just on the outside edge -- that Chavez laid off.
"I didn't think it was a strike," the pitcher said through interpreter Jose Alguacil, the Giants' roving infield instructor. "But I was surprised that he didn't swing at that."
A standing, delirious crowd of 41,180 groaned as Chavez's liner bounced just in front of Pence but just as quickly regrouped and roared its approval of Petit's performance. After the last out, the Giants excitedly poured out of the dugout to congratulate the Venezuelan right-hander, who might have cemented a spot on the team's 2014 staff with this effort.
"You get that close, it breaks your heart a little bit," manager Bruce Bochy said. "But what impressed me was after he gave up the hit. You can have the tendency to let down a little bit, but he came right back and got that last out. That shows you his makeup -- he didn't let it bother him."
Said Arizona manager Kirk Gibson: "My thought is he's pitched a great game, now let's break his heart."
Gibson picked Chavez for that task because of his experience. Chavez had never faced Petit before, but he went in the clubhouse to watch him pitch in the fifth inning to be prepared if he was needed late in the game.
"I wasn't trying to break his heart, I was trying to break it up," Chavez said. "It's a pride thing."
Petit (3-0) became the 12th pitcher to lose a perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning and the second this season (Texas' Yu Darvish was the other).
It was nearly the second perfect game for the Giants in two years, following Matt Cain's 2012 perfecto. The remarkable part of that is that the forearm injury Cain suffered two weeks ago provided the opportunity for Petit to join the Giants rotation.
He might just stay there for the long term.
"He's kind of sent a message this is where he belongs and this is where he should be pitching," Bochy said.
Petit went to only two three-ball counts, once in the eighth and then again in the ninth against Chavez -- and struck out seven.
There wasn't even a threat of a hit through the first five innings against Petit. In the sixth, Bochy made a key strategic move, replacing starting left fielder Brett Pill with Juan Perez for defense, and after Petit got the first two outs on easy grounders, Perez preserved the perfect game with a diving grab of opposing pitcher Patrick Corbin's sinking liner to left.
Perez said he wasn't nervous whatsoever as Petit got closer and closer to the perfect game.
"I was hoping to get a chance to make another catch," he said.
The Giants staked Petit to a 1-0 lead in the second with the help of an Arizona error and made it 2-0 in the fourth on a Pence double and two-out RBI single to center by Sanchez. Pence hit his 19th home run, a solo shot in the eighth, to give Petit even more cushion.

According to the official report from the ND Highway Patrol David Storsteen, 76, from Devils Lake was the individual who lost his life in a crash on Highway 2 approximately six miles southeast of Devils Lake Wednesday night. At 5:20 p.m. Storsteen was the driver of a 2010 Buick Lucerne that struck the left rear side of a semi trailer truck. The 1995 Freightliner was pulling an empty flatbed trailer and attempting to cross US Highway 2 at mile marker 276 to travel east towards Grand Forks. Storsteen was traveling westbound on US Highway 2 from Fargo en route to Devils Lake when he struck the left rear side of the trailer. Upon impact the Buick traveled toward the median and came to rest against the semi trailer in the south lane facing southwest. The Freightliner came to rest facing east with the trailer coming to rest in the median. Storsteen died in the crash. The driver of the Freightliner was not injured. The accident remains under investigation.

Baby J came off the rail and rallied through the final yards to post a three-quarter-length victory over Bridgehampton in an upset of Saturday's 11th running of the Grade 3, $150,000 Victory Ride for 3-year-old fillies at Belmont Park.
Pressured through an opening quarter-mile in 22.14 seconds by Bridgehampton, Baby J and jockey Joel Rosario relinquished the lead to that rival as the half went in 45.13. After running second along the inside through most of the stretch, Rosario angled the J Be K filly to the outside and she surged into the lead with a rousing late kick that carried her under the wire in 1:10.84 for six furlongs.
"In my head, I thought maybe she would come back, and I kept her busy and rode her," said Rosario of the Paul Pompa, Jr. color bearer. "Today, after the horse came over a little on me, I put her on the outside and she came back again. It was impressive."
Sent off at 10-1, Baby J returned $23 for a $2 win bet as she picked up her second victory of the year and first in a stakes. Overall, she is 3-1-2 from seven starts, including a second-place finish to Kauai Katie in last year's Grade 2 Matron and a third behind So Many Ways and Can't Explain in the Grade 3 Schuylerville at Saratoga Race Course.
Trainer Pat Reynolds said the Grade 1, $500,000 Test on August 24 at Saratoga would be under consideration for Baby J's next start.
"She's very game," said Reynolds of Baby J, who began 2013 by winning an optional claimer on May 8 and next finished third facing older horses on June 14. "She's a free-running type of filly, and it worked out. We're going to kick around [the Test]. She'll probably need a little time off, but she'll be tough on a speed track up there wherever we elect to go with her."
Bridgehampton, who was making just the third start of her career, was 2 ¼ lengths ahead of favored Fusaichiswonderful. Completing the order of finish were Teen Pauline and I'm Mom's Favorite. Kauai Katie, part of an entry with Teen Pauline, Native One and Lighthouse Bay were scratched.

MARIETTA - In spite of the lure from big box discount stores that offer cheap prices on merchandise during the holidays, a growing number of people are apparently choosing to buy local.
"I prefer smaller local shops over the bigger stores, and would rather spend my money on something local and unique," said Jacinda Hutson, 21, of Marietta.
She particularly shops local for close family members.

"If a gift is for a family member I'll buy it locally because I think it's more personal," Hutson said. "And for friends I may shop somewhere else, but I still look for the local shops when I'm in other towns."
According to a recent Associated Press report, during last weekend's Small Business Saturday, an event established by American Express, more than 100 million people across the nation were expected to buy from independently owned small businesses.
That included President Barack Obama, who took his daughters out shopping Saturday where he was photographed buying a book at a small store in Arlington, Va.
Ryan Howard, 38, of Parkersburg was visiting some of the Front Street shops in Marietta Monday afternoon. He admitted price is a factor when making a purchase.
"I definitely hit Wal-Mart over the holidays, but here in downtown Marietta there are a lot of things you can't find in the big stores," he said.
Kelly Hassell, 45, of Newark said she, too, prefers buying from local businesses.
"I like buying from local shops in Newark, and when Ryan told me about Marietta, I wanted to come here and look around," she said.
One of the shops Hassell and Howard drifted through was American Flags and Poles where owner Sylvi Caporale was decorating one of the shop's display windows.
Caporale said business was extremely brisk on Small Business Saturday.
"People were unbelievably supportive that day. It was just wonderful," she said. "And I thought about how we could have Small Business Saturday all through the season."
Caporale decided to build a window display using an old Santa figure, holiday banners and other Christmas decor she had obtained from the former Dils Department Store in Parkersburg.
"And we're advertising that all the gifts in that window could be bought for less than $12," she said. "We want people to know we're a specialty store, but we also realize that shoppers need to see value in their purchases."
American Flags and Poles has been on Front Street for 17 years, and was located on Pike Street in Marietta for nine years prior to that.
"I have talked to many customers who say they specifically choose to shop at locally-owned businesses," Caporale said. "I think this is becoming a very strong trend, and we're very appreciative. We don't take that support for granted."
Russ Cogswell, owner of Apex Feed and Supply on Greene Street in Marietta, said the business, which his father began as a farm and feed store, has been around for 54 years now.
"The business has changed tremendously since then-you have to change," he said. "We offer a diverse number of products and advertise a lot to bring in customers. But the real key is service. We try to make sure everyone who walks through the door gets the attention they need."
Cogswell said many customers are also surprised at how competitive the store's prices are when compared to big box stores.
"We do all these things to keep our local customers coming back," he said.
Beverly Neff, owner of Neff's Country Loft and Quilt Shop on Washington Boulevard in Belpre, said customer service and individual attention has played a big part during her 18-plus years in business.
"I make a lot of personal contact with customers, and we do a lot of shows outside of the store," she said. "I do quilt shows within a 150-mile radius of Belpre-in areas like Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, as well as in many areas of West Virginia."
Neff said she tries to make her quilt shows into mini-versions of the experience customers will have if they visit her store.
"We have built a great following and customer base," she said, adding that she has no problem directing customers to other locally-owned quilt and craft shops in the area.
"Those shops help promote us to customers, too," Neff said.
In addition to purchasing items from shops and businesses, another way people often buy local is from area crafters and artisans, according to Janet Smith of Lowell who designs and sells her own crafted jewelry at the River City Farmers Market at the Washington County Fairgrounds.
"We have some of the best artisans and crafts people around," she said. "And everything is made or grown locally."
Smith said the market is open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday through Dec. 22 with a huge variety of unique crafts, artwork, baked goods and other foods they won't find anywhere else.
"It's one-stop shopping. People can buy gifts, food, meat and produce all in one place," she said.
Smith said she always buys local, too.
"Many people go into downtown Marietta to shop, but that's wonderful, too, because those are also locally-owned businesses," she said.
Smith said the farmers market has thousands of loyal customers who return week after week.
"I think the most special thing we do is treat everyone like friends and family. They're really all our neighbors, and we treat them with respect," she said.
Lydia Hunter, who lives on Second Street in Marietta, said she, too, makes it a point to shop at local businesses.
"I just prefer to buy locally because I can get unique gifts as well as support the local economy," she said.
Although she does make some purchases online, Hunter said those are usually items she can't find through local businesses.
"And when you make a purchase at one of the big box stores, it may not be of the same quality as a locally-bought item-a lot of times you get just what you pay for," Hunter added. "Besides, shopping locally is a lot more fun."

Florida Election Law: Voting Done Right
Published: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 12:13 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 12:13 a.m.
Whatever his motivations, Gov. Rick Scott deserves praise for his about-face on state election law.
Scott said last week that local election supervisors should be allowed to offer as many as 14 days of early voting during the next election and increase the number of voting hours. He signed a bill last year that cut the number of days to eight from 14 and reduced the number of hours.
The governor also reversed course by calling for early voting to be allowed to resume on the Sunday before Election Day. Black churches brought voters to the polls on that Sunday — an effort dubbed "souls to the polls" — before the bill signed by Scott ended that effort.
University of Florida political science professor Dan Smith co-authored research that found the state's election law changes disproportionately affected black voters. Although black voters comprised 14 percent of the electorate in the 2012 general election, they made up more than 22 percent of early voters, the research found.
Smith also studied a new requirement that voters cast provisional ballots if they moved counties but didn't update their addresses. Black and Hispanic voters were more likely to cast provisional ballots than white voters in the November election and nearly twice as likely to have those ballots rejected, according to the research.
Scott was silent on the issue of provisional ballots, but it's time for him and others to reject measures that seem designed to lower minority and youth voting. With the nation having just marked Martin Luther King Jr. Day, it's a fitting time to remember the efforts made to end barriers to minority voting while noting that more subtle obstacles remain today.
Scott also said lawmakers should reduce the length of ballots by limiting the description of proposed constitutional amendments. In actuality, the state should just leave some amendments off the ballot.
More than 200,000 voters likely gave up in frustration on Election Day because of long lines, shows data compiled by the Orlando Sentinel and analyzed by Ohio State University professor Theodore Allen. The figure is a badge of shame for Scott and lawmakers who supported the changes that contributed to those lines.
Florida's history of voting problems is well known. It's time to end the political games that have been played with state election law and support common-sense rules that make voting easy, quick and fair. Scott should be credited with nudging the state back in that direction.

One morning I woke up and decided to look out the window, to see where we were. We were flying over America and suddenly I saw snow, the first ever we saw from orbit. Light and powdery, it blended with the contours of the land, with veins of rivers. I thought—autumn, snow—people are getting ready for winter. A few minutes later, we were flying over the Atlantic, then Europe, and then Russia. I have never visited America, but imagined that the arrival of autumn and winter is the same there as in other places, and the process of getting ready for them is the same. And then it struck me that we are all children of our Earth. It does not matter what country you look at. We are all Earth's children, and we should treat her as our Mother.

Trac will support internationalization in Milestone 0.12.
Artifacts to be translated includes:
- wiki-default
- templates
- Trac engine
It will be based and inspired on work previously realized and kindly contributed.
For comments about it, post in the following thread:
Important Note About 0.11 Spanish Translation
Edgewall has created Babel on 05/29/2007:
A collection of tools for internationalizing Python applications
Trac l10n/i18n will be powered by this new project.
Due to this, I'm not longer planning to realize translation of 0.11 until I internalize myself about this.
If you are curious about this, take a look at http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/sandbox/i18n

As for now, patches are not provided for Trac releases ( 0.10.4 , 0.10.3.1 , 0.10.3, 0.10.2, 0.10.1 , 0.10 ...).
Only one exception, patch for 0.10.4 is planned due to ticket:1719:2.
Giving a try (0.10.5dev)
Current patch, works against Trac 0.10.5dev r5961 (changes in 0.10-stable branch up to rev5855)
Trac engine and ClearSilver templates (0.10.5dev)
Download patches from [download:tracspanishtranslation here] and apply them, be aware to use patches for a corresponding Trac revision (see log messages of provided patches). If patch fails for latest 0.10-stable, maybe its out of date, create a ticket pointing which Trac revision you used.
Default Wiki Pages (0.10.5dev)
Download and replace Trac provided files, usually in /usr/share/trac/templates TODO.
Patch Procedure (0.10.5dev)
As for now, patches are not targeted against Trac releases, instead you must get a working copy of Trac 0.10-stable branch, get the patches (corresponding to a Trac range of revisions) and apply patches:
- Get a working copy of Trac 0.10-stable branch, for example:
$ mkdir ~/tmp $ mkdir ~/tmp/0.10-stable $ svn co https://svn.edgewall.com/repos/trac/branches/0.10-stable ~/tmp/0.10-stable ...
- Get patches, for example:
$ mkdir ~/tmp/0.10-stable-es-patches $ svn co https://trac-hacks.org/svn/tracspanishtranslation/0.10 ~/tmp/0.10-stable-es-patches ...
- Alternatively, download patches from [download:tracspanishtranslation here], unzip patches and apply patches, modify next secion as needed
- Apply patches witch patch command:
$ cd ~/tmp/0.10-stable $ patch -p0 -f < ../0.10-stable-es-patches/patchs/trac-spanish-python_utf-8.diff $ patch -p0 -f < ../0.10-stable-es-patches/patchs/trac-spanish-templates_utf-8.diff

Shares of Johnson Controls Hesitating?
Published on Monday, 31 December 2012 04:39 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, December 31st (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Johnson Controls, Inc. (NYSE:JCI) closed the trading day lower by $0.13 or -0.43% from its previous close. Johnson Controls' price action formed what is considered to be a doji close, where the open and close prices are very close to each other, mainly signaling an indecision between buyers and sellers.
Johnson Controls, Inc. (NYSE:JCI) markets automotive systems and building controls. The Company supplies seating systems, interior systems, and batteries. The company also provides building control systems and services, energy management, and integrated facility management,
Johnson Controls' trading range is defined by a trough, which marked calculated support at $24.75 and by a peak that set the resistance point at $30.46. These levels are closely watched by traders managing their positions.
Traders wanting to establish a position in Johnson Controls or traders that are already holding the stock can use the doji close to their advantage, since the pattern present a short-term pause in the stock's price action. This pause results in an entry point for traders depending of which way the stock resolves this short-term indecision.
The Doji is an important candlestick pattern that provides information on their own and as components in a number of important patterns. Doji form when a security's open and close are virtually equal. The length of the upper and lower shadows can vary and the resulting candlestick looks like a cross, inverted cross or plus sign. Alone, doji are neutral patterns.
Any bullish or bearish bias is based on preceding price action and future confirmation. In the case of Johnson Controls, given that the stock finished the session lower, bears should monitor the stock, as it could reverse if it manages to trade above its intraday high. Below a Doji illustration:

The biopharmaceutical industry relies on change to make progress in a commercial environment that simultaneously demands higher productivity, higher quality, and lower costs (1). Recombinant protein titers have improved from tens of milligrams to more than 10 grams per liter during the past 20 years, and at the same time, batch volumes have increased so that industry faces the real prospect of batch yields exceeding 100 kg of protein in the next decade (2). Over the same period, regulatory demands have become more onerous, and the pressure to reduce costs has increased as more biopharmaceuticals come off patent and overseas manufacturers begin to take an interest in Western markets (3, 4). Indeed, the unthinkable is increasingly becoming inevitable—biopharmaceuticals will at some point be regarded as commodities, and manufacturing on the ton scale will be necessary for certain products that are required in large, repetitive doses, such as topical antibody formulations.
Running to stand stillPerhaps the major challenge facing the biomanufacturing industry today is that downstream processing has no economy of scale (i.e., higher titers translate linearly into higher manufacturing costs) (6). Looking back, we can almost consider the first 15 years of biomanufacturing as a golden era, where manufacturers had the luxury of using inefficient processes because the product itself was far more important (3). Most biopharmaceuticals were required in small doses, and demand was sufficiently low to allow plenty of slack in the system. It was also pointless investing in process efficiency when any tweaks and modifications would arouse the suspicious eye of regulators. It was better to let sleeping dogs lie and be satisfied with the status quo. In this environment, innovation was considered a burden rather than a bonus.
Inevitably, this relaxed attitude to process efficiency resulted in an immense amount of waste because up to 50% of product batches failed to meet specifications (3). To address this, FDA ordered that processes be designed with quality attributes taken into account (7, 8). The process was no longer a means to an end to achieve the product, but rather the process became part of the product. As the economic screws began to tighten and demand increased, manufacturers turned to the age-old strategy of scaling up their production to achieve cost savings. It was at this time that industry began to flounder.
Whereas upstream production can be scaled up almost indefinitely by increasing the productivity of cells growing in a bioreactor, downstream processing has limits imposed by physics and chemistry. Downstream processing is driven by the mass of product. If one makes more product per batch, one needs correspondingly larger volumes of buffer, larger storage tanks, preparation areas, larger filters, and most importantly, larger amounts of chromatography media. For the production of antibodies (where Protein A resin is typically used in the primary capture step), the costs of scaling up are in some cases greater than the extra revenue made possible by the increased upstream productivity. Manufacturers find themselves in the paradoxical situation that there is no longer an economy scale in manufacturing, but rather an economic depression reflecting the physical limits that constrain the size of the apparatus used in separations (e.g. chromatography columns and the associated piping, skids, and buffer reservoirs). So far, the extra demand has been absorbed by contract manufacturers offering their spare capacity to fulfill quotas, but this is a short-term measure that cannot cope with the predicted increases in demand as industry faces hundreds of products in clinical development, all requiring at least pilot-scale manufacture according to GMP (9).
How can this productivity dilemma be addressed? With constant scaling up no longer a viable approach, the sector must return to its roots and innovate to succeed. Three solutions are currently being considered by manufacturers, all inspired in some way by the more encouraging regulatory landscape that rewards rather than punishes innovation. This article examines several issues: the streamlining of existing processes, the revisiting of simple technology solutions currently employed in the bulk-chemical industry, and the use of innovative technologies from the biopharmaceutical research sector. These innovative technologies have the potential to introduce game-changing processing options into an industry still mired in technologies that were the state of the art 20 years ago. On a cautionary note, however, technologies from the research sector can fail, and the rash adoption of new and untested technology platforms can punish an eager company seeking innovative solutions. This is the new dilemma in downstream processing.

Missouri Dedicates First Utility-Scale Wind Power Plant
September 24, 2007
A 57-megawatt (MW) wind power plant, the Bluegrass Ridge Wind Farm in northwest Missouri, was dedicated on September 17. It is the first utility-scale wind project in the state and the first wind project to supply power to Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AECI), which provides wholesale power to six regional and 51 local electric cooperative systems in Missouri, northeast Oklahoma, and southeast Iowa.
The facility includes 27 Suzlon 2.1-MW turbines and covers about 10,000 acres in Gentry County, near King City, about 80 miles north of Kansas City, Missouri. The landowners will receive annual lease payments for hosting the turbines. AECI will sell the electricity to the city of Columbia.
About 475 people attended the dedication, including members of Congress, members of electric co-ops, state and local officials, landowners, and developers. The keynote speaker, U.S. Senator Clair McCaskill, said that "Nobody wants to protect the land and the water and the air more than Missouri farmers."
The project was developed by Wind Capital Group, based in St. Louis, and John Deere Wind Energy, based in Johnston, Iowa. The two developers, along with AECI, are also partners in two other projects, the Cow Branch and Conception wind farms in Atchison and Nodaway counties, respectively, in the northwest corner of the state. Those facilities are expected to be completed by the end of this year; the three projects combined will produce 157 MW, enough power for 45,000 homes.
For more information, including photos of the Bluegrass Ridge Wind Farm, see the Wind Capital press release and the September 20 AECI press release.

Deferred Action Overview
On June 15th, Secretary Napolitano announced that young people who were brought to the United States as children and who meet several key criteria will be considered for temporary relief from removal from the country or from being placed in removal proceedings.
This relief will be granted only after an individualized review by DHS personnel. It will last two years and may be renewed. Individuals granted deferred action will also be eligible to request employment authorization.
This action is the next logical step in DHS's extensive efforts to ensure that immigration enforcement resources are focused on our mission to protect public safety and ensure border security. These efforts date to the development and release of ICE's June 2010 memorandum on immigration enforcement priorities, and Director Morton's two prosecutorial discretion memoranda issued in June 2011.
As President Obama noted in remarks on this policy, many young people who will benefit from this policy study in our schools, play in our neighborhoods, and pledge allegiance to our flag. They are Americans in their hearts, in their minds, in every single way – except on paper. Some came to our country – sometimes even as infants – and yet they live under the threat of removal to a country they may know little about, with a language they may not even speak.
In order to be considered for deferred action under this policy, individuals must:
- Have come to the United States under the age of sixteen
- Have continuously resided in the United States for at least five years and have been physically present in the United States on the date of our announcement on June 15
- Either be currently in school, a graduate of a U.S. high school or a recipient of a Certificate of High School Equivalency, or an honorably discharged veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States
- Not have been convicted of either a felony offense, a significant misdemeanor offense, multiple misdemeanor offenses, or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety
- Be younger than 31 as of June 15, 2012
Individuals must also complete a biographic and biometric background check and not currently in removal proceedings or subject to a final order, must be 15 years or older to be considered for deferred action. Only those individuals who can prove through verifiable documentation that they meet these criteria will be considered for deferred action under this initiative. Individuals will not be eligible if they are not currently in the United States or cannot prove that they have continuously resided within the United States for at least five years.
Deferred action does not provide an individual with lawful permanent resident status or any legal status in the United States. It confers no legal immigration status, nor a pathway to citizenship. Only Congress, acting through its legislative authority, can confer these benefits. It remains for the executive branch, however, to set forth policy for the exercise of prosecutorial discretion within the framework of the existing law.
Fraud Prevention
ICE and USCIS will deploy their considerable fraud prevention resources to guard against fraud in this process – and to take strong action against any individuals who engage in fraud. ICE's Homeland Security Investigations directorate and USCIS's Fraud Detection and National Security directorate will be actively engaged whenever fraud is suspected as part of an individual request to ICE or USCIS for deferred action or employment authorization.
An individual who knowingly makes a misrepresentation to ICE or USCIS, or knowingly fails to disclose facts to ICE or USCIS, in an effort to be considered for deferred action or work authorization in this new process will be treated as an immigration enforcement priority to the fullest extent permitted by law, subjecting the individual to criminal prosecution and removal from the United States.

18 Opinions
Come on guys: The reader nowadays is very fast, stable and efficient.
Okay, it looks gay and I don't like ot have it in Safari - but I would always install it again!
This app is crap:
-Slow (poorly optimized) like every software from Adobe (hello flash?).
-Install (with) a bunch of useless crap.
-Apps with the same functionality uses 20x less disk space.
To see PDFs in fullscreen:
Instead of opening with Preview.app, click file and press space bar to preview it, and you'll see the fullscreen button.
new preview a thousand times better than Adobe Reader.
new preview a thousand times better than Adobe Reader.
Awful, really awful.
I avoid it as much as I can.
Slow. un-sexy.
what's really bugging me is those services that required Acrobat reader and nothing but it.
I really hate Adobe Reader. It looks like starting a complete Final Cut Studio when opening an PDF with Adobe Reader. It is simple horrible! I Love Preview I really love it. Also I did find a solution for missing fonts which is to dowload them or grab from my windows installation (Parallels, sorry I HAVE TO use it in my office) and there is a lot of instructions how to make them available for every App.
So far, I love my Mac!
Adobe Reader 8.x squases fonts of about 90% of the PDFs I tested, no matter whether they were created with Distiller, Quartz or OpenOffice. Also, font antialiasing seems borked for most fonts. The same applies to the Windows installations I tried out, so it seems to be an issue with the font render engine in Adobe Reader in general.
I definitely hope those issues will be addressed in the next version of Adobe Reader. Most of my contacts use it, and I donât feel like explaining to them that the product sheet I just sent them doesnât look shitty, itâs Adobe Reader.
Adobe Reader 7.x rendered those PDFs fine, I should mention.
But why oh why
is the download and installation process
for Adobe always so...
...fill in the blank yourselves.
Amazingly enough, version 8 no longer sucks. Version 7 was awful, but v8 looks much more Mac-like and is quite a bit faster. Much as I love Preview, it has trouble searching scanned + OCR documents, and also doesn't seem to handle PDFs with built-in forms. Also, the Adobe Reader browser plugin has search built-in, which Apple's standard plugin doesn't. So there's definitely place for both Preview and Reader.
The biggest problem with Reader is installation. Rather than simply downloading the application, you have to download an installer, which then installs a "download manager", which then downloads the real installer, which finally installs Reader. WTF!?

A day late with this post, but I ended up with too much to do yesterday.
I headed down the railtrail concentrating on walking with a light footstep and hard push-off to keep my injured foot flexing. The idea is to keep moving while I'm fighting Plantar Fasciitis, but in a way that won't aggravate the injury.
Long story short, I walked a mile, ran a half mile with just minor discomfort, then pulled up and walked another mile to finish.
I have to remember "Active Recovery" isn't instant recovery and act accordingly, but I'm gaining.
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
Rich, I hear you. At least you sound like your making progress.
Iced shin Wednesday night and it felt sooo much better - for 15 minutes...Oh, well limped around Thursday and sent Dr. Email Friday. Looks like I'm going to be on the shelf for awhile longer...
Wife is out running a 1/2 right now. 2+ years of at least one 1/2 every month and she calls me obsessive. The stack of finishers medals we've collected is getting ridiculous. We also keep all the race numbers (did I ever tell you we're pack rats?). Recently put up some of the restaurant order bar clips(?) - metal channel with cylindrical beads at the top you slip the paper in and beads roll down to hold the paper tags - to hang the numbers with some hooks to hang the medals underneath.
Not sure how it will turn out. Won't be enough room for all the numbers and there will still be multiple medals per hook when we get them all up.
Tendons and ligaments take forever to heal, hang in there Ray.
I can't believe the string of halfs your wife has put together, that's amazing. Especially considering how easy it is to be sidelined with overuse injuries. What an athlete!
And I like displaying finisher's medals, just think how few people there are who can do that.
I went out on the railtrail today (Saturday) for 3.5 miles. A walk/run/run/walk routine, splits were 15:54, 10:03, 4:54 and 15:53. Running is pain free, but there's a slight ache in my foot after I'm done, so I'm still taking it slow.
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...

VIENNA - On Aug. 20, 2012, Greg McCarthy got a new lease on life with a heart transplant.
Given his condition after the heart attack that destroyed 80 percent of his heart, McCarthy, 57, and his wife Doris say it is a miracle he is living today.
In 2007, he had a minor heart attack and a stent to open a clogged vein in his heart was installed. On Jan. 30, 2010, he had a massive heart attack due to a stent collapse on the pump side of the heart, an attack also called a "widow maker."

Greg and Doris McCarthy, at their Vienna home, say his survival of a massive heart attack and a transplant were medical miracles.
While he was being transported to the emergency room at what was then St. Joseph's Hospital, he went into cardiac arrest in the ambulance. While he does not remember the events of his time in the hospital, McCarthy said he was told he was shocked with a defibrillator between 15 to 20 times. One nurse told the couple she lost count of how many times he was shocked. McCarthy said he had been told many doctors stop trying to shock the heart after three or four attempts.
"Medically they gave up on me," he said. "They had just purchased a hypothermia bed, and I was the first to use it. It kept my brain, liver and kidneys from failing."
McCarthy and his wife credit his recovery at the hospital to the power of prayer. While at the hospital they said a number of friends were there in the chapel praying for his treatment.
"People with the hospital were wondering if someone important was there," Doris McCarthy said. "There were a lot of people there, four pastors and the mayor of Vienna. There were people in the chapel praying for him."
Medically she said no expected him to pull through.
"Many of our friends are in the medical field and they looked at it medically and they didn't think he would make it," she said. "The next thing I knew the nurses said he responded to small commands, his kidneys were functioning on their own and the liver enzymes started going down. It was a miracle."
From there, it was then decided he needed to go to Cleveland Clinic.
Later McCarthy learned the hospital recordings of his treatment were used at two conferences. One time it was shown to medical students to show them they cannot give up on patients and the other was at a nurses conference to show the use of the hypothermia bed.
Getting out of Parkersburg to Cleveland Clinic was a challenge. On that day a blizzard hit the area and McCarthy needed to be flown to Cleveland Clinic, however, the airport was closed and Cleveland Clinic was not willing to send a flight due to the airport closure.
"My friend, state Sen. Dave Nohe, who was mayor of Vienna at the time, called the airport, explained the situation and asked if they could clear one runway," he said. "That got a runway clear and during that time I was on the way to the airport, my wife and mother-in-law were on their way to Cleveland and he was texting them from the airport, giving them updates on when I got there and when the plane left for Cleveland."
McCarthy said the attack destroyed 80 percent of the muscle on the pump side of the heart. He said an evaluation at Cleveland Clinic showed that a stent or bypass was not a option.
"When we got to Cleveland it was the same situation," Doris McCarthy said. "One percent of the people who have this type of attack survive. The doctor said 'We did the test and there is nothing to bypass to.'"
McCarthy said the answer was a heart pump also known an LVAD, or left ventricular assistance device. It was installed under his skin, two inches above the navel and a power lead coming out of his body led to two batteries in a shoulder bag.
Doris McCarthy added the surgeons told her in his condition the chances of surviving the surgery to install the pump were slim.
"I was still pretty drugged up and they went to my wife and told her about it and she said 'If that is what it will take to let him live then do it,'" he said.
McCarthy said the LVAD had been in use for some time but he was fitted with a newer version.
"This unit is also called a bridge to transplant. I was the first person to receive the newer upgraded version with lighter, more powerful batteries," he said. "Since my heart had so much damage I was placed on the heart transplant list Aug. 17, 2010."
McCarthy said carrying the pump was part of his life for more than two years.
Two years and three days later, McCarthy got the call telling him a heart had been found for him. On Aug. 20, 2012, he went in for a transplant and was released 10 days later.
"I asked the doctor what I was supposed to do and he said we had half an hour to pack and make a three-hour drive," he said. "Of course that meant the donor was on life support."
While they have not made contact with the heart donor family, they do know the donor was a woman in her 30s.
In two days after the transplant, he was in intensive care, in four days he was walking and in 10 days he was back home at Vienna.
Since the transplant eight biopsies on the heart have shown zero rejection. McCarthy has to take three medications to keep his body from rejecting the heart.
"There are side effects," he said. "They give you the tremors, it makes you diabetic, causes thyroid problems and changes your vision," he said. "You will go off some of them, but you are never off them and on some you get a lower dosage of others."
Another problem he faced is he cannot have a flu shot so close to the surgery date. However, he said he will be able to get a shot next year.
In October they got clearance to travel to Georgia.
"On Oct. 16, 2012, my wife and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and on Oct. 29, 2012, we drove to Savannah, Ga., to my son-in-law's birthday party," he said. "They were not expecting us, we just showed up at their door."
