Western Shoshone activist urges attention to mining's destruction of tribal heritage
BOULDER, Colo. – Carrie Dann, iconic voice for Western Shoshone traditionalists, told an audience that Mount Tenabo in northeast Nevada sits atop gold deposits worth $8 billion to the mining industry, but it is central to tribal religious practices and "a lot of our creation stories stem from there."
A federal judge in Nevada denied tribal and environmentalists' request for an injunction against Barrick Gold Corp.'s nearly 7,000-acre Cortez Hills Project that places a huge open-pit, cyanide heap-leach gold mine at Mount Tenabo. A notice of appeal from that ruling was filed in the 9th Circuit Court Feb. 9.
"We are the only ones the international corporations and the United States government can hear," Dann said, explaining that while everything has life, human beings must be "a voice to protect those spirits that cannot speak for themselves."
Dann spoke to a packed auditorium at Boulder International Film Festival in a session Feb. 14 sponsored by the festival and the Boulder-based Native American Rights Fund.
Her appearance was in connection with the showing of a documentary, "American Outrage," directed by Beth and George Gage. The film traces the struggles of Dann and her sister, the late Mary Dann, who were prosecuted by the U.S. government for grazing their horses and cattle on Western Shoshone ancestral land without a federal permit.
The Dann ranch is located in Crescent Valley, southwest of Elko, Nev., in an area targeted by transnationals because of its massive gold reserves.
In frigid temperatures outside the Boulder showing, volunteers passed out pink "anti-valentines" to be mailed to headquarters of Wal-Mart, which they accuse of advertising a "Love, Earth" jewelry line as planet-friendly when in fact it allegedly uses gold from Newmont Mining Corp. open pit mines on Western Shoshone lands, causing damage to air and water quality.
Dann and other Western Shoshones claim federal approval of the project involving Mount Tenabo would violate the Religious Freedom Restoration Act because it would significantly burden those attempting to practice their religion in the traditional way on ceremonial grounds located there.
It is wrong to allow mining companies "in the name of all of you – 'the public,' (to say) it's good for 'the public.' Who benefits from these mines?" she queried, observing that the public actually gets "very little."
The gold companies ought to do their share in helping the current economic crisis and they should pay for the use and destruction of land where their mines are located, she said to loud applause.
Gold is currently selling at $800-$900 an ounce and there are billions of dollars worth of gold beneath Mount Tenabo, "but it's part of our history."
"Everything comes from the earth," and open pit gold mining is a "total destruction of the Western Shoshone ways."
Dann said it is rumored locally that archaeologists had to excavate below six inches to locate burials and artifacts, indicating "we've been here a long, long time."
Although she and other Western Shoshone said they never surrendered rights to their ancestral lands reserved under the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley, the Indian Claims Commission held that the Western Shoshone had surrendered their homelands "by gradual encroachment" of waves of settlement, a position upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1985.
The high court ruled that aboriginal title to the tribal lands had been extinguished because the U. S. through the secretary of the Interior accepted Indian Claims Commission-awarded monies – based on about 15 cents an acre for 24 million acres – on behalf of the Western Shoshone.
"If you can find me a court of justice, show it to me and lead me to it," Dann said. "Someday, if the United States treats you as they've treated us, you're going to find yourselves in trouble."
Dann concluded on a note of cautious optimism: "The Department of the Interior is not our friend (but) maybe under this administration it could be different."
Dann is active in the nonprofit Western Shoshone Defense Project, an affiliate of the Seventh Generation Fund for Indian Development and an outgrowth of years of effort by Western Shoshone traditionalists to obtain federal recognition of the terms of the Ruby Valley Treaty.
Legislation forcing the distribution of the money intended to offset the loss of treaty lands was passed in 2004. It awarded approximately $20,000 to individual tribal members and, while some Western Shoshones agreed to accept it, other tribal members refused and some wanted compensatory land rather than cash.
According to the Defense Project, the U.S. did not respond to the U.N. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, which directed the U.S. to begin talks with the Western Shoshone and to halt any actions potentially harmful to their tribal lands or resources.

The Earlsboro Lady Wildcats opened up a 20-point halftime lead en route to a 60-47 win over New Lima in Saturday's Little River Conference Tournament championship game. "We gave a great effort these past three games and played well when we had to," Earlsboro head coach Gary Anderson said. Three Lady Wildcats made the all-tournament team, including Megan Ashley, who led Earlsboro with 21 points. Fellow all-tourney selection Brittany Coon netted 10. Jordan Lasley, the third of Earlsboro's triumvirate, sat out the title game with possible ligament damage, according to Anderson. Lasley was injured during Thursday's game against Varnum. Demi Coon added 18 for the champions, who moved to 11-0 on the season. New Lima's Jonah Tiger scored 21 and shared game-leader honors with Earlsboro's Ashley. The Lady Wildcats, ranked ninth in Class B, are set for a rematch with the Lady Falcons at New Lima next Tuesday. Note: Report compiled by Chuck Porter.

Monday's Pick of Analysts' Equity Ratings Changes
Equity markets are rallying in Europe and the earnings season is now in full swing. To get a full and rounded view of the market, here are our top picks of Monday's equity rating changes that investors should be aware of:
- Barclays was cut to hold from by Societe Generale as the shares have risen around 35% in the past three months and are up 11% versus the European banks sector. The brokerage said: "We think the shares will not outperform the sector until management can demonstrate how it can propel returns on tangible equity much past 10%." Societe Generale acknowledged that Barclays has a safe and liquid balance sheet but it thinks that the relative advantage is being eroded by successful balance sheet restructuring elsewhere and the European Central Bank's generous liquidity provision.
- Credit Suisse has upgraded ArcelorMittal South Africa to neutral from underperform having assessed the impact on steel and the bulks sector from the world's largest steel consumer — China's real estate construction sector. On ArcelorMittal South Africa, Credit Suisse said growth in production volumes and a weaker rand should allow earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to grow in 2012-2013 under the brokerage's scenarios for China real estate development. In Credit Suisse's base-case scenario, it has assumed that real estate construction in China this year grows 8% year-on-year followed by healthy Chinese steel demand growth of 6%-7% a year over the next several years.
- Alcatel-Lucent has been downgraded to sell from hold by Societe Generale following the company's share price strength on Friday after the release of its fourth-quarter results. Overall, the brokerage said the results were broadly in line with the company's guidance and the market's expectations. Although management believes growth will return to the U.S. market, Societe Generale remains concerned that economic concerns may limit operators' capital expenditure. It said: "Cash flow is still an issue for the company in the seasonally poor first-quarter 2012, although the€ 1 billion in cash to be received in the quarter from the sale of Genesys should help."
- Finally, ING has upgraded fashion retailer H&M Hennes & Mauritz to buy from hold and lowered Inditex to hold from buy. Following a troubled 2011, ING said H&M can achieve a strong rebound in gross margin in the next two years, "as headwinds turn into tailwinds". It said: "We believe the market underestimates H&M's margin recovery potential and…we have become more bullish on H&M's online sales." ING expects online sales to double in the next three years. On Inditex, ING noted the good performance of the shares in 2011. ING said, "We think Inditex has a brilliant business with some of the most popular fast fashion banners around. However, in our view the stock lacks catalysts that justify a buy rating as further margin progression and continued space growth is priced

The Lease
The lease is a legally contract, which once signed, binds both parties to the terms of the lease. Before signing a lease, read it carefully and make sure to understand all terms within the lease. You may want to have an advisory agent (i.e. parent, lawyer) review the lease and clarify any ambiguous information within the lease. You may be able to alter the lease with the permission of the landlord. After you are certain of the terms of the lease and feel confident in the contract, then it may be the time to sign. However, do not feel pressured to sign a lease if you are uncomfortable with the terms of the lease.
Lease Information
Get everything in writing. This will help protect you from any surprises that may come up. Once again, understand everything in a lease before signing.

Holders of old AMR stock, you should be feeling better now about your American Airlines shares
(CORRECTED 5:10 P.M. Original post had the Dec. 6 AAMRQ price wrong at $10.39. It was $11.39. Thanks, Richard Tran)
When the new American Airlines Group distributed a pittance of their stock to the old AAMRQ shareholders on Dec. 9, we heard from a lot of panic-stricken investors. And some depressed ones.
Everybody should be in a better mood now. You've got a lot more shares than on Dec. 9, and you've got more coming.
Of course, that wasn't the way it appeared to many holders of stock in the old AMR Corp. on Dec. 9. They thought they had lost most of their investment over the weekend.
The initial distribution on Dec. 9 was 0.0665 shares of the new company, ticker symbol, AAL, for each share of AAMRQ held on Dec. 6, its last trading day.
That meant someone who held 1,000 AAMRQ shares on Dec. 6, worth $11,390 at AAMRQ's close of $11.39 that day, would have 66.5 shares of AAL, worth about $1,636 at AAL's Dec. 9 close of $24.60. In other words, it appeared they lost nearly $10,000 over the weekend.
Many investors thought that was all they were going to get. But they were in line to get more, based on the terms of the merger between American Airlines and US Airways and the formula for stock distribution to all the interested parties.
Our advice then was to wait it out because your initial distribution on Dec. 9 was just the beginning. Holders of stock in the old AMR Corp. would get additional shares after 30 days, 60 days, 90 days and 120 days.
On Jan. 8, American Airlines Group announced that AAMRQ holders would get another 0.1319 shares of AAL stock as the 30-day distribution.
And on Friday, the company announced the 60-day distribution: another 0.175 shares.
So adding that all up, each AAMRQ share on Dec. 6 has now brought in 0.3737 shares of AAL, with the 90-day and 120-day distributions still ahead.
Based on the AAL closing price of $34.66 on Thursday, that one share of AAMRQ – which closed at $11.39 on Dec. 6 – has now brought its owner $12.95 in AAL shares.
If the March 9 and April 8 distributions equal the Jan. 8 and Feb. 7 distributions, a share of AAMRQ stock would bring about 0.68 shares of AAL. Based on Thursday's close, that would be worth $23.58.
Of course, the price of AAL shares could go down between now and the final distribution in April. That means more shares would have to go to the unsecured creditors to satisfy their debt.
But we're probably at the point where we can assume that AAMRQ shareholders will come out pretty well in this merger and bankruptcy reorganization.
Note, 6:35 p.m. Friday: I'd like to thank Richard Tran, writer for Hiep's Finance, for pointing out that I had the wrong Dec. 6 price for AAMRQ and that all my comparative calculations were therefore incorrect. Hiep's Finance is a personal finance blog that followed the AA-US Air merger.
I would recommend that interested parties, particularly holders of AAMRQ, go to the above link to read Richard's analysis of the AAMRQ distribution.

Topic pretty much says it all. Just picked up another xbox to mod dated 2004-11-24. Upon taking the lid off I didn't recognise the sticker on the dvdrom, After looking at it closely it is marked Hitachi-LG Model GDR-8050L. Now I've only ever come across thompsons, samsungs and phillips but never one of these. Is this something new or have I just completely missed boat when these originally started showing up?
Regards Dave
Posted 18 December 2004 - 06:49 AM

good question... I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for how these things perform, and we may have another dud or something better than a samsung on our hands possibly. I wouldn't get my hopes up though MS seems to be attempting more and more to crack down on ppl who mod xbox's..And I suppose rightfully so
Posted 18 December 2004 - 07:14 AM

Alt X (\Kexit) has a slight oddity in it that I hope someone can explain to
When I use Alt X while in CONNECT mode to reach COMMAND mode I get this
Pressing Alt X (or C) to return back to CONNECT mode. When activating a
definition macro afterwards, it won't process. It just jumps to the COMMAND
window's prompt. You can then re-try the macro and it'll work.
There must be a very small detail I'm missing.
All my macros, which are activated in CONNECT mode are formatted as:
set key \## \kTest
Define test {
Now when I use this macro while in CONNECT mode, it rapidly jumps to COMMAND
mode, where it does its thing, then immidately goes back into CONNECT mode.
I do this repeatedly and everything is perfect.
Never am I stuck at the prompt using my macros.
Why then does using the commands, Alt X or C, manually not have the same
effect? Why does it negate the next definition type macro used?

There was a short maintenance break on Kong, no problem with that for sure, but i got a little bit surprised that for the waiting time the suggested game was "Collapse It" (kill all humans), with an image of an H-bomb falling.
I played video games for more than 20 years, including many banned ones, so that should not bother me. Still, thinking of Kong as "familial" site (from the worst dress up game to the worst kill all humans), i don't think this was one the best choice.
Just my opinion.

#19643 closed Bug (fixed)
TypedChoiceField and TypedMultipleChoiceField call the super validate() method instead of their own
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|MultipleChoiceField TypedMultipleChoiceField
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
As it can be seen on https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/forms/fields.py#L730, instead of calling self.validate() the code is actually super(TypedChoiceField, self).validate(value); it's the same on https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/forms/fields.py#L780
On the other hand, the definition of the validate() methods in both classes is a simple "pass".
I believe this is a bug because it makes it impossible to extend those classes and customize the validate() method. Specifically, in this example the validate() is never called:
class CustomTypedMultipleChoiceField(forms.TypedMultipleChoiceField): def validate(self, value): print("CustomTypedMultipleChoiceField.validate")
I propose that, instead of the current situation, lines 730 and 780 are replaced with self.validate(), and the validate() method definitions are either removed or changed to call the super.

The issue was a bit more complicated, as the validation for individual values and the overall was a bit messed up. I've got it to pass all the tests and seems to be working fine now, and there are no calls to super().validate() except from validate itself. The patch is avilable at https://github.com/berislavlopac/django/tree/ticket_19643

Could you add a failing testcase to the patch based on your provided example?
comment:6 Changed 3 years ago by lucasicf
This ticket is inactive for 5 weeks, can I help here?
It took me a lot of time to figure out what was the actual problem.
I thought the solution was to call self.validate() instead of super().validate() inside to_python().
However, by reading the sent patch, I noticed that the solution is not to call any validate() at all, since this is not done by any other field class.
If I'm right, the failing test I wrote covers this problem. The test is failing in the master, but working after applying the patch sent by BerislavLopac.
Here is the test patch:
I also regenerated the BerislavLopac's patch in the current master, since it got outdated in 5 weeks:

Earlier on in the week I covered a story that Microsoft was ditching the "Metro" name that was commonly used when referring to the new user interface in Windows 8. The reason behind this name change was because Microsoft was allegedly infringing on a copyright held by a German superstore.
Microsoft promised us a new name within the week, and according to sources at ZDnet, Microsoft have landed on "Windows 8" as the new name to replace Metro. Creative… I know right.
I suppose in a way it does make some sense. It's quite a simple and subtle name change which won't go causing any major branding issues. "Windows Metro Apps" will now simply be referred to as "Windows 8 Apps". The "Metro User Interface" will simply be known as the "Windows 8 User Interface". Nice and simple.
Here's what ZDNet sources had to say
Anything currently/formerly known as a "Metro-Style application" (with or without a hyphen) will now be known officially as a "Windows 8 application." References to the "Metro user interface" will now be replaced by "Windows 8 user interface." And instead of saying "Metro design," the Softies and those adhering to their official guidelines will be using the words "Windows 8 design."
Microsoft haven't officially released a statement confirming this, but it seems pretty set in stone at this stage. In a recent product announcement page from Lenovo, they advertised "Windows 8 Apps" as a feature of their new Thinkpad Tablet.
It's quite a straightforward and simple brand change. It's not going to confuse anyone at least. After all, the "Metro" name was simply a code name that's been used by Microsoft and Developers alike.

Minivan Rap Song: Toyota's 'Swagger Wagon'
Toyota may be facing recalls and the possible loss of public trust, but on the Web, the company is showing some unexpected swagger. Toyota's "Swagger Wagon" video, which is getting a lot of attention on YouTube, features a geeky family dancing, striking poses and rapping about their new Toyota Sienna minivan — "Where my kids at?" The video is part of a broad effort to shake the minivan stigma that people who drive them have given into the ball-and-chain oppression of domesticity. There is even a line about "rolling with my posse in the HOV." Really.
Toyota will still be fighting the uphill battle to make the minivan cool long after car shoppers have forgotten about all its recent recalls and safety scandals. It may never succeed in giving vans the style of a Range Rover SUV or the machismo of a brawny pickup truck. But I hope Toyota keeps trying, because the video is hilarious.
There is a 30-second-spot edition, but the long version is the one you want to see. Call it the EP. For me, the father of two sometimes sloppy little boys in child seats, Swagger Wagon hits close to home. It's laced with meaningful images like a pacifier, a spilling drink and diapers — were those Pampers Cruisers, size 5? But I'm still put off by two-child Sienna Family's need for a huge van. To carry four people? Seems indulgent. I always thought the third kid should mark the tipping point for getting a van or big SUV. We're sticking with the station wagon. Its big enough — and still cooler than a minivan.

I had an object lesson this week.
I am absolutely devoted to my Mother Care (peri-natal) yoga class. Half the time there aren't enough students to make it worth the instructor's while.
Because I have a vested interest in taking this class, I've been working with Kristen (instructor) to figure out how build up her attendance. How hard could it be?
In addition to Mother Care yoga, Kristen teaches popular pre-natal yoga and new parent yoga classes. She is a well-known doula. She emails her regular clients with class updates. She offers discounts for bringing a friend and takes flyers to playgroups. As far as I can tell, Kristen has the absolute best pool of potential clients ever and is doing everything she is should to promote this service.
Why aren't the moms coming to my favorite class? They should be flocking to it.
At the end of every class (when we have class), Kristen asks students what she can do to make the class more accessible. A different day of the week? Different time? She gently talks about the importance of moms taking time to recharge themselves. About giving dads or partners the chance to be parents on their own without "supervision."
Kristen gets different answers each time she asks. They all sound logical — weekends are the only time our family can be together, too tired in the evenings, classes are during the baby's "needy" time.
Because Kristen is a smartypants, she didn't react to all these suggestions. She considered them. Kristen didn't feel like she was getting The Real Answer.
I was fairly twitching with impatience and biting my tongue firmly. I wanted to get schedules changed and new fliers made up and to rewrite her class description and, and, and! I wanted the class to happen now.
This week, Kristen got her Answer.
A mom said she wasn't able to come to classes sooner because her baby was nursing every two to three hours. The class is two hours long. Most new moms who come to the class are nursing. The class plus travel means new moms will be at least 2.5 hours away from their babies.
That would be The Real Answer.
So. Good for Kristen for continuing to ask her clients what they needed, for looking for the real reason for sparse attendance. Now she knows that she needs to adjust the length of the class.
I learned that it's a good idea to keep asking until you get an answer that resonates with you and your practice.
If you are convinced that there is a market for your work with a specialized group — police/dog trainers/welders — keep asking until you figure out exactly what they need. Special hours? Longer sessions? Shorter sessions? Clearly stated bodywork benefits relating to their particular needs?
There is an answer. You'll know it when you hear it.
All my best,
If you're interested in reading more about writing ad/flyer copy, Diana has a good article on targeting your clients' real concerns.

About the Book
"The classic trifecta of talent, heart, and a bone-deep sense of storytelling….A masterful performance, deftly rendered and deeply satisfying. For days on end, I woke with this story on my mind."
— David Wroblewski<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
"A new Tom Franklin novel is always a reason to get excited, but Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter is more—a cause for celebration. What a great novel by a great novelist."
—Dennis Lehane
A powerful and resonant novel from Tom Franklin—critically acclaimed author of Smonk and Hell at the Breech—Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter tells the riveting story of two boyhood friends, torn apart by circumstance, who are brought together again by a terrible crime in a small Mississippi town. An extraordinary novel that seamlessly blends elements of crime and Southern literary fiction, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter is a must for readers of Larry Brown, Pete Dexter, Ron Rash, and Dennis Lehane.
In the 1970s, Larry Ott and Silas "32" Jones were boyhood pals in a small town in rural Mississippi. Their worlds were as different as night and day: Larry was the child of lower-middle-class white parents, and Silas, the son of a poor, black single mother. But then Larry took a girl to a drive-in movie and she was never seen or heard from again. He never confessed . . . and was never charged.
More than twenty years have passed. Larry lives a solitary, shunned existence, never able to rise above the whispers of suspicion. Silas has become the town constable. And now another girl has disappeared, forcing two men who once called each other "friend" to confront a past they've buried for decades.

A Voice for Men: Christianity is all about hating on dudes
If you want even more proof that the denizens of A Voice for Men live in Imaginary Backwards Land, let me draw your attention to a recent posting from FeMRA TyphonBlue and JohnTheOther. The post's bland title, Men, and patriarchy in the church, belies the loopiness of this particular bit of theological argument, the aim of which is to prove that Christianity is and always has been about hating dudes.
Oh, sure, TB and JTO note, it might look like Christianity in its various forms has been a tad dude-centric. I mean, it's based on the teachings of a dude. And there's that whole "God the Father" thing. Oh, and Christian religious institutions have been almost always headed up by dudes. There has yet to be a Popette.
But apparently to assume that the people running something actually run that something is to indulge in what MRAs like to call "the frontman fallacy," by which they mean that even though it looks like men run most things in the world it's really the sneaky ladies who call the shots, somehow. TB/JTO, citing the aforementioned faux "fallacy," ask:
Because Christianity has a male priesthood, is headed by a man and uses masculine language to refer to the God and humanity's savior, does it necessarily follow that Christianity is male favoring?
Bravely, the two decide not to go with the correct answer here, which is of course "yes." Instead, they say no. And why is this? Because Jesus didn't go around boning the ladies.
Seriously. That's their main argument:
[Christ] had no sexual life. This absence leaves no spiritual connection between the masculine body and the divine.
The Christ is sexless; presumptively masculine, but never actually engaging in any activity unique to his masculine body. …
The implicit stricture of making the female body the vessel of Holy Spirit while offering no corresponding connection between the divine and the male body creates a spiritual caste system with women on top and men on the bottom.
Also: Joseph didn't bone Mary, at least not before she gave birth to Jesus.
The birth of Christ is without sin because, quite simply, it did not involve a penis. The entire mythology around the birth of Christ implicitly indicts male sexuality as the vector of original sin from generation to generation.
Uh, I sort of thought that the notion of Original Sin had something or other to do with Eve and an apple in the Garden of Eden. But apparently not:
Forget Eve. Forget the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and the Serpent. If all human women, tomorrow, conceived and gestated and gave birth without ever coming into contact with a penis, our race would be purged of original sin.
Pretty impressive theological revisionism from a couple of blabby video bloggers who apparently don't know how to spell "canon." (ProTip: "Cannon" refers to one of those tubey metal things you shoot "cannonballs" from.)
The two conclude:
Our culture's war against masculine identity, male sexuality and fatherhood is an old one. That war arguably began as we adopted a faith which marginalizes the role of men in procreation, idolizing a story that removes them completely from the process. The exemplar of male virtue in this theology is a man who had no natural sexual expression, although his character is designated as male. And his primary purpose was to be flogged, literally tortured for the "crimes" of others, and then bound and nailed through his limbs, still alive to an erected cruciform scaffold, to die from shock and exposure on a hilltop. And we somehow manage to claim that this religion elevates men over women?
Well, yeah.
Rather than supremacy, Christianity provides to men the role of asexual stewards of women's benefit, and sacrificial penitent, preaching the gospel of a female-deifying, male-demonizing faith. It is true that women have not historically been allowed to front this farce, but mostly because that would make the message too obvious.
While some kinds of Christianity get rather worked up about the evils of premarital sex and/or birth control, I'm pretty sure married and/or procreative sex is a-ok with all Christians this side of the mother in the movie Carrie. Even — well, especially — if it involves dudes. (I'm pretty sure the church fathers were never big proponents of lesbianism.)
And if women really run the show, despite men "fronting" the church, could you perhaps spell out just who these all-powerful women are? Like, some names perhaps? Who's the lady puppeteer behind the pope?
They of course don't offer any real-world evidence for this secret supposed matriarchy. Instead, they ramp up for a sarcastic ending:
But we continue to ignore all of this, and we entertain the farce that our religious institutions constitute a male-elevating, female oppressing patriarchy.
Yeah, tell us another one.
No point in telling you guys anything any more. Clearly you can twist any and all facts about the world to fit your increasingly weird and baroque fictions about men always being the most oppressed, past, present and future.
A Voice for Men is slowly but surely disappearing up its own ass.

Random thought — if David's on vacation and the mod-queue isn't being attended to, does that mean an NWO free week? That's a vacation for all of us! w00t
There's something I don't get. After all this, Ruby's still going around making sycophantic, substance-free comments about how awesome David is. I know you're not one to pay close attention Rubes, but I'm pretty sure our gracious host doesn't think prison rape is justified or funny either.
i'm glad someone else noticed that. the teacher's pet shit she's pulling is super creepy.
i don't think it's about sucking up to avoid getting banned tho. i think the fact that she hasnt been banned yet makes her think david is genuinely on her side, and like all good conservatives she responds with a display of groveling obsequiousness to authority.
There was a lot (a lot) of sectarianism, and millenialism, going on in Judaism of the time
Unless I'm mistaken, millenialism is to do with thousand years and such. Did the Jewish calendar happen to line up right with that period?
Ooh, thanks. I was mostly working from etymology…
Reading that, I'm not quite sure whether 'apocalyptic' as a technical term means 'based on a vision or revelation' or 'END OF THE WORLD! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!'
It's pretty fucked up for a libertarian to endorse cruel and unusual state-enabled punishment. I guess Ruby's only in favor of small government for good people.
It weirds me out how she's still dropping in threads to go "great post David, those MRAs sure do suck!" like nothing's going on. I think she expects us to go "well, we may disagree about minor details like rape, but we're on the same side here!", and our failure to do so just shows what vindictive bullies we are.
pecunium: ohai
Raised Catholic, still really like the singing, have converted to an extremely devout and highly specific form of agnosticism that goes "I cannot possibly know whether or not there is a God." Fortunately for me and the way my personality works, this allows me to go "OK, whatever works for you!" to people's religious beliefs.
The more I learn about Catholicism the more I realize that, despite disagreeing with a huge portion of the Church's official stances and being so agnostic I'm starting to think I missed a "faith gene" somewhere in my DNA, there's something about the Church that really appeals to me. Partly it's aesthetic but I think it's also partly the ritual aspects of the faith. Having AS and obsessive-compulsive tendencies, rituals are really comforting to me. I've prayed the Rosary before and while I didn't connect on a religious level, I found the repetition and meditation comforting.
It's a shame Agnostic-Catholics-Who-Don't-Really-Agree-With-The-Church isn't a denomination.
Agreed! I don't miss having to sit through mass multiple times a week (ah, the joys of Catholic school), but I do sometimes genuinely miss the aesthetic and ritual components. I still occasionally pray rosaries when I'm really stressed out, despite that being pretty darn weird for someone who lacks extremely critical elements of Catholic belief, just because they help my brain calm down.
My rather fun solution to craving the ritual and artsy elements of religion without all the, well, religion, is that I'm a choral singer, which is a career path that involves a lot of being invited to come to churches, temples, etc. and sing pretty religious songs. It is, sadly, not a career path that pays worth a darn, so I have to have a "day job," too, but I really like that my work has sent me to almost every sort of house of worship in my area – and quite a few outside it – at some point or another, so I get to dip my toe into all sorts of religious traditions for a day or two at a time, without ever being expected to be part of the faiths in question. (And, honestly, with only one major exception I can think of, every congregation I've sung for has been super-nice and accepting of the fact that the singers probably don't share their beliefs. Also, a lot of times some little old lady from the church/temple/etc. bakes us cookies. Apparently the Cookie Lady is a vital part of the church environment.)
Wow, I feel almost exactly the opposite. I find the belief in a greater consciousness inspiring, the finicky details about "and this greater consciousness wants you to only eat certain kinds of food and pray at certain times using certain words" absolutely intolerable. Ritual bores and frustrates me and sends me into adult-annoying* questions of "is God really that flattered by people rote-reciting canned praise on a set schedule?"
Lately I've been calling myself a "pantheist." I like to believe that there's order and awareness in the universe. I don't like to believe that order cares if I speak to it in Hebrew or English or never speak to it at all–prayer is something I ultimately do for myself–so I'd rather speak spontaneously and freeform.
(I'm not trying to argue anyone out of liking ritual, I completely understand that, only explaining why I feel differently.)
*jeez, "adult"? I'm 26. But something about this issue makes me feel like a kid again when I get grouchy about it.
The more I learn about Catholicism the more I realize that, despite disagreeing with a huge portion of the Church's official stances and being so agnostic I'm starting to think I missed a "faith gene" somewhere in my DNA, there's something about the Church that really appeals to me. Partly it's aesthetic but I think it's also partly the ritual aspects of the faith. Having AS and obsessive-compulsive tendencies, rituals are really comforting to me. I've prayed the Rosary before and while I didn't connect on a religious level, I found the repetition and meditation comforting.
It's a shame Agnostic-Catholics-Who-Don't-Really-Agree-With-The-Church isn't a denomination.
*googles Episcopalian/Anglican*
They seem more accepting of queer people and women in their official doctrines, which is awesome. Seems they object to the veneration of the saints, though, which makes me a little sad. I like the veneration of the saints.
Lauralot, if you like you could check out people who call themselves "High-Church Anglican" or "Anglo-Catholic." Those are Anglicans who act more like Catholics in their worship.
So I'll just conclude with this nugget from the church of my youth: "No, this is the denomination where you can use an organ in church but you don't, women are supposed to wear coverings on their head during prayer, and no dancing; if you want the church where you can't use an organ in church, women are supposed to wear coverings during prayer but don't, and no dancing, that's down the street and to the left."
Orthodox? We dance, though.
One thing I still do, despite being devoutly agnostic: in moments of serious stress my internal (and occasionally external) monologue is essentially praying. ("Oh god help me" and variations on the aforesaid theme.)

For people with hearing loss caused by severe damage to the ear canal, the ear drum, the middle ear bones or the inner ear, implantable devices can provide significant hearing improvement. A surgical implant is very different from a hearing aid. Hearing aids amplify sound. Implants compensate for damaged or nonworking parts of the middle or inner ear, thereby enabling patients who are not candidates for traditional aids to hear. Implanting a hearing device is a surgical procedure performed by an otologist (ear surgeon). Otologists are trained in surgery as well as medicine. At Lahey Hospital & Medical Center three types of devices are offered:
The Department of Otolaryngology at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center has the expertise and technology to implant all of these devices. Your physician will help you determine whether an implantable device is right for you. These devices may not be covered by insurance. For more information, please call 781-744-2528.

- Vote and comment:
- Using a hands-free device?
- More dangerous: Texting or talking?
California drivers appear to have gotten the hands-free message.
The Highway Patrol issued a mere 991 tickets - little more than 150 a day - statewide through Tuesday for violating the hands-free cell phone law that went into effect one week ago. In the nine Bay Area counties only 107 drivers were tagged since July 1.
At that rate, about 51,000 tickets would be issued annually. By comparison, the CHP gives out nearly 1.2 million speeding and 205,000 seat belt violations a year.
"The numbers are kind of low," said CHP spokesman Hugo Mendoza, "but I think because the law is so new and the media is really focusing on it, it's making people comply."
The number of tickets written by city police departments isn't known yet, but officers around the Bay Area say their agencies, like the CHP, haven't been dealing out many citations. A ticket for violating the hands-free law can cost around $100 for a first offense.
Mountain View police issued about two dozen tickets in Week One. San Mateo, 21. Campbell, 14.
Union City hasn't tracked the number of tickets its officers have issued - but is certain there aren't many.
"One officer said he specifically tried to find the violation and could not," said Lt. Kelly Musgrove.
Both the CHP and local police say they have not targeted cell phone abuse, or made any sort of special enforcement effort.
"Officers are just writing what they find," said Campbell Sgt. Charley Adams. "Obviously, officers that view this as a hazardous violation will be more vigilant at enforcing it."
Added Mountain View officer Bryan Albarillo:
"Compliance is mixed and those that have been stopped have heard of the law but simply forgot. If we actually targeted the violation, I believe there would be many more citations issued."
Still, many motorists and traffic cops say there has been a clear decrease in the number of drivers holding phones to their ears.
Some say they've witnessed motorists in mall parking lots, making a cell phone call. Only when the conversation is over do those drivers start their car and go.
"I seldom saw that before," said Anita Ramirez of San Jose. "I used to constantly see someone get in their car, then get on the phone as they drove off."
Then there's peer pressure. Bob Whitehair of San Mateo saw a co-worker using his cell phone on July 1 and said "quite a few other drivers honked at him and pointed to his phone."
Some drivers are going to great lengths to use their phones and yet comply with the new rules. Nina Wong-Dobkin of Sunnyvale spotted a driver talking on a headphone while holding her phone in her right hand about 8-10 inches away from her face.
"I wonder if she would get a ticket?" Wong-Dobkin asked.
Yes. Hold a cell phone in your hand, even several inches away from the ear, and you're not talking hands-free.
Despite all the attention, some motorists continue to ignore the law.
On Monday, John Sugrue, a teacher in Santa Clara, said he nearly got nailed by a woman with her cell phone plastered to her ear coming around the corner in a parking lot.
"Her eyes were everywhere but the direction she was heading," he said.
Drivers 18 and over must use a hands-free device or a speakerphone to talk in the car. But they are allowed to send text messages, though doing so may be outlawed Jan. 1.
However, drivers under the age of 18 cannot use any electronic equipment when behind the wheel. The CHP handed out a mere 10 tickets to teens violating that law over the last week.
Police say nearly two years of warnings about the new laws plus messages on electronic freeway signs and a blitz of media coverage has helped keep the number of cell phone scofflaws low.
"Perhaps later, when attention shifts to something else, people will fall back to their old habits," the CHP's Mendoza said. "I hope not."

'Jersey Shore,' Season 2, Episode 2: TV Recap
"Jersey Shore's" second season began last week, and the premiere did not disappoint. There was plenty of execrable behavior on display, including a catfight in a car and a gross three-way kiss between Ronnie and two random girls that will evidently be mentioned approximately eleven hundred time throughout the rest of the show's run. Can Episode Two keep the drama at a fever pitch, or will "Jersey Shore" fall into a sophomore slump?
As of now, the jury's out. Thursday night's episode was certainly entertaining in parts, but it also felt drawn-out and—dare we say—a little boring. Maybe that's because so much of it focused on the epic love story of Ronnie and Sammi, two people who can't shut up about how they're not dating as they bicker like George and Martha of "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?"
It all starts with that three-way kiss. When the boys come home from the club, Ronnie—who must have drank a metric ton of alcohol, since he has to weigh about four Snookis—brags to everyone that he's going to go sleep with Sammi after macking on other girls. He does crawl into bed with her, and when she sleepily asks him whether he "did anything" at the club, he lies through his teeth. Vinnie opines that the worst betrayal of all is that Ronnie wasn't just hooking up with other girls—he was hooking up with ugly girls.
The next morning, we see Mike wake up, take a swig from a beer bottle sitting on his bedside table, then pass out again. When Ronnie rises, he says he doesn't remember a thing that happened the night before. Guess it's a good thing that it was all filmed, right? He learns the details of his antics as Pauly D explains them to his friend, Big Mike, on the phone. (Think The Situation gets jealous when Pauly talks to his other best friend, who's also named Mike?)
For good measure, we see footage of the three-way kiss again (but not for the last time). Ronnie thinks Sammi doesn't have grounds to get mad at him because they're not together anymore. Thankfully, though, Sammi's in the dark about the kiss—the other guys tell her that Ronnie got "a little out of control" the night before, but don't give any dirty details.
Finally, the other girls wake up, Snooki promptly goes to get a cocktail when she emerges from her pickle-scented cocoon. They go shopping at a store that Sammi thinks supplies outfits for trannies. Snooki picks up a lacy bra and asks, "Wait, are these for boobs?" Jwoww, of course, loves everything she sees and models several outfits. No wonder she has double Ws in her name—that must be what she's packing in her bra.
Oh good, Mike is making dinner! Do you think it's chicken cutlet night, or maybe ravioli night? He coats some chicken in barbecue sauce, then places it in the fridge and cautions everyone to be careful so that it doesn't fall out. This is like placing a gun in the first act of the show—as soon as Snooki enters the kitchen, she opens the fridge and is struck by fallen barbecue. It even gets on her ridiculous fuzzy slippers.
Vinnie tries to help her by advising her to use a rag instead of paper towels and saying, "I'm teaching you how to be a woman. You're going to be my wife someday." He goes to the hot tub to ask The Situation what they should do. Mike is incredulous that nobody thought to pick the chicken up and throw it out.
Meanwhile, Sammi goes to use the phone and snoops through Ronnie's phone book to see whose numbers he has written down. Among the people he's contacted is Caroline, an ex-girlfriend. The sweetest bitch you'll ever meet is furious when she sees this. She storms into Ron's room to confront him, and when he says he talked to Caroline two weeks ago, Sammi screeches, "So f*** you, okay, and enjoy your life."
Now that homemade dinner is off (at least Snooki didn't get excluded, right?), Mike's calling to order some takeout. When the guy on the other line asks for a name to put with the order, Mike replies, "Situation." Has he dropped the "The"?
"That's a name?" asks the guy.
Oh, look at the time—it's the Bitching Hour. Angelina's always on the phone, which pisses Snooki off: "Like, if you want to be here, interact with everybody. [beat] Not like I want her to." She and the other girls hiss again about Angelina talking smack about them, and Snooki—bolstered by her slippers, as well as a tiara and a huge drink—decides it's time to confront The Castmate Formerly Known As Jolie.
There's a fight too inane to record. The guys greedily watch it unfold. "This is high school sh–," Angelina complains. "YOU are high school sh–!" Snooki fires back.
Jwoww comes out and claims that Angelina said something mean to someone called JF20. Is Jenni friends with a robot? "You wanna get your ass beat, you can stay, get your ass beat. You can stay, get your f—ing ass beat. You can stay, get your f—ing ass beat. Plain and simple," she spits. Ronnie offers to go grab pretzels for the guys, and Pauly requests popcorn. Jwoww finally tells Angelina to sleep with one eye open. No punches are thrown, and no extensions are pulled out, so we'll only give this squabble a 5.6 out of 10.
Another friend of Angelina's calls and asks to speak with her. Snooki answers, says, "No, she died," and promptly hangs up.
A few minutes later, though, it seems like the tension has dissipated. Everyone but Ronnie and Sammi is outside, talking about that damn three-way kiss. Again, it's emphasized that the girls he kissed were ugly. Anyone else think the show is trying a little too hard to make "grenade" happen?
The next day, Sammi is sorry about lashing out at Ronnie. She goes to his room to apologize, and their sordid tale takes an O. Henry-style twist: he was only talking to Caroline to ask her advice about Sammi! Caroline, evidently, told Ronnie that he and the Sweetheart should try to work things out. "She's the reason that I even gave you another shot. I love you so f—ing much, and that's my downfall," he tells her. Sammi gets teary and tries to wipe the drops way without messing up her eye makeup.
Oh hey, remember how last season, the gang half-assedly worked at a t-shirt shop? Well, this year, they're going to be scooping gelato. The ice-cream store is run by a man who seems to be an honest-to-God Italian; we can only imagine what he thinks of this motley crew. He expresses concern that Pauly's hair might fall into the ice cream. "This hair ain't moving, my dude!" Pauly assures us. "Hundred fifty miles an hour on a highway on a street bike, it doesn't move. What makes you think it's gonna move in the gelato shop?"
Ronnie's in pain, so he decides a constructive thing to do will be to "get a tattoo in the worst place you can get a tattoo." He doesn't mean… Little Ronnie, does he?
Okay, no, it's his side. For some reason, Sammi goes with him. She holds his hand as he gets inked. "I'm always here for you, even if we hate each other," she tells him softly. They walk home together, and he touches her back. Oh, what tangled webs they weave!
Vinnie, Pauly, Mike, and Angelina all go out for sushi together. This is…incongruous. They know you can't get sausage and peppers at a Japanese restaurant, right? They talk about how the other girls don't like her. "Whatever—it's not like anybody's gonna be my friend after this anyway," Angelina sighs. "That's true," says Pauly.
Everyone goes out to a club that night. Angelina gets ragingly drunk, Mike makes out with a chick who bites him, then flashes her crotch to the camera, and Pauly dances with a girl who's engaged. This angers Angelina, even though, as Pauly rightfully notes, she was hooking up with a married guy last season.
She rips into Paul at the club, then continues harping on him when they get back to the house. Mike makes some chicken tenders and tries not to be caught up in the fray. Angelina starts talking about how she loves both Paul and The Situation—it must be noted now that she's hooked up with both of them in the past—and how she'd marry them. Pauly just wants her to shut up and go away, but she keeps yapping.
Finally, DJ Pauly D has had enough. He tells Angelina that from now on, they're no longer friends: "You don't have me, and you don't have Situation. So who do you have? No one!"
And… then the episode ends. On second thought, maybe a lot did happen.

This nature pond study activity is provided for our Summer Fun calendar from guest blogger Melissa of Fireflies and Mud Pies.
I cannot think of a more quintessential way to spend a breezy summer day than wading ankle deep in cool water chasing frogs with children! The giggles, splashes, and squeals of delight from enjoying a Family Pond Study will echo in your memory (and theirs!) for years to come.
I brought my boys to a state park armed with nets, bug habitats, magnifying glasses, and folding chairs. The sky was blue, the air was perfect, and the pond was buzzing (and croaking, peeping and quacking!) with activity. We walked to the water's edge, sandals squishing into the murk, our eyes scanning the water and weeds for movement or bubbles.
TIP: Shoes are essential to protect your child's feet from fishing hooks and broken glass that might be hidden in the bottom of the pond.
Finally, Colin spotted him – a monster of a frog! We used our net to capture him but boy, did he give us a struggle – nearly slipping out of my hands several times! I finally got a good grip on him so that the boys could feel his bumpy, wet skin. They noticed the speckles on his back, the ear holes on the side of his head, and his long webbed toes.
Not long after releasing the frog, Colin discovered a cluster of tadpoles munching pond weed and algae. I scooped some up with my hand for the boys to get a closer look. We observed that many of the tadpoles were beginning to develop hind legs.
Continuing our Pond Study, we observed many other creatures including dragonflies (both adult and nymph). One decided to take a rest on the edge of Owen's cheerful orange net! We talked about its iridescent wings and how it begins its life in the water before taking to the air.
A sneaky water snake startled Colin as he was searching the grass. We smiled as geese bobbed their heads in and out of the water. The boys spent the entire afternoon searching for critters and then enjoyed a rest in the warm sunshine!
Research tells us that kids who spend time outdoors in nature are more active, attentive, and experience less stress and behavior/self-control issues. Additionally, a healthy connection with nature helps children realize that they are part of a great big, beautiful world! Spending time with family outdoors is sure to strengthen bonds and create memories for a lifetime.
What will your child discover outside this summer?

SINGAPORE — Karrie Webb broke out of a slump with three key birdies on the back nine Saturday to hold onto a one-stroke lead after the third round of the HSBC Women's Champions.
Webb, the 2011 champion, has led every round this week. She shot a 70 to move to 11-under 205 overall.
The veteran Australian will play against another former champion in the lead group today — 2012 winner Angela Stanford. The American matched Webb birdie-for-birdie over the final five holes to shoot a 69.
The top of the leaderboard remains tight after a momentum-swinging day on which a half dozen players either shared the lead or were within a shot of it.
Spain's Azahara Munoz fired an eagle and four birdies for a 5-under 67, the low round of the day, to surge into a third-place tie with Taiwan's Teresa Lu at 8-under 208.
America's Paula Creamer, who briefly held the lead with Webb and Munoz, had six birdies to go with three bogeys to finish in fifth place at 7 under. Morgan Pressel of the United States was at 6 under, Norway's Suzann Pettersen was another stroke back at 5 under, and Sweden's Caroline Hedwall and South Korea's Na Yeon Choi were in joint eighth at 4 under.
Webb, a seven-time major winner, started out the day slowly, playing her front nine at even par and then bogeying the 10th hole to go to 1 over, allowing the rest of the field to close the gap.

Bernanke: Broad Support on FOMC for 7% Jobless Rate Guidepost on QE
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Wednesday that there was "broad support" among Fed officials for the 7% jobless rate he cited in mid-June as the level of unemployment there was likely to be when the Fed shuts down its $85 billion-per-month bond-buying program.
At his June 19 press conference following a two-day Fed policy meeting, Mr. Bernanke sketched out a tentative timeline for the Fed to wind down and ultimately end the bond-buying program, if the economy continues to improve in the way the Fed expects. As part of that timeline, Mr. Bernanke said that the unemployment rate would likely be about 7% when the program is completed, which would be mid-2014, under the tentative timeline.
There had been some curiosity about where the 7% figure came from since the number did not appear in the minutes from the June 18-19 policy meeting. Asked about it by Rep. Spencer Bachus (R., Ala.) during a hearing Wednesday, Mr. Bernanke said that at the meeting "there was good support for both the broad plan that I described and for the use of 7% as indicative of the kind of improvement we're trying to get."
He stressed that the 7% is not a target the Fed is aiming for, but rather was meant to "be indicative of the amount of improvement we want to see in the labor market."
Prior to the June 19 press conference, the Fed had only said that it would continue the bond-buying program until it has seen "substantial" improvement in the jobs market.

Kingston SSDNow V+ 200 120GB Solid State Drive Review
Version and / or Patch Used: 3.0 Technical Preview
Developer Homepage: http://crystalmark.info

Download here: http://crystaldew.info/category/software/crystaldiskmark
CrystalDiskMark is a disk benchmark software that allows us to benchmark 4K and 4K queue depths with accuracy.
Key Features:-
* Sequential reads/writes
* Random 4KB/512KB reads/writes
* Text copy
* Change dialog design
* internationalization (i18n)
Note: Crystal Disk Mark 3.0 Technical Preview was used for these tests since it offers the ability to measure native command queuing at 4 and 32.
This is where we start to see a divide between the really good SandForce based drives with synchronous flash and the Kingston SSDNow V+ 200 with asynchronous flash.
The single request 4K speed is pretty good, 32.3MB/s. This is in line with other SandForce based drives. When you start piling requests up though the performance falls and the V+ 200 is back quite a ways. This is less of a problem that you might imagine in a notebook used for business activities. Even a power user like myself doesn't reach high queue depths on my notebook when I'm using it for work.
The 4K write speeds when using incompressible data are in line with other SandForce based drives, even those with synchronous flash.

Are You a Sucker For Pretty Packaging?
Just as us girls can fall in love with a guy because he's super hot, we can become infatuated with a product solely based on its great packaging. And that's exactly what happened when I came across Space NK Laughter Solid Perfume. It comes in a sleek silver compact with a mirrored lid (perfect for makeup touchups) that slips into a purple velvet pouch. Even the lime green and brown box is adorable. And once I caught a whiff of the spicy citrus scent, I realized that I was in for a happy relationship.
P.S. A solid fragrance is way more convenient than schlepping a full size bottle of perfume in your purse or using samples that spill all over the place. One caveat: After a few cocktails in a dimly lit bar, it's easy to mistake these little pots for lip gloss!
Have you ever bought something just because you loved the packaging? Did you end up liking the actual product?

NOTE: This program will not be accepting new students for the 2015-2016 academic year.
The Historic Preservation program will focus on the study of preservation theory coupled with hands-on skill training to meet the needs of entry level individuals and prospective employers involved in the historic preservation field. Researching the background of structures designated as historic properties will enhance the learning experience while applying the Secretary of the Interior's standards for the rehabilitation of historic structures.
Paducah, Kentucky has been identified by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of the top 10 Distinctive Destinations. Rich in its history, the down town riverfront area provides an assortment of architectural styles in the historic buildings. The LowerTown Arts District, Fountain Avenue Rehabilitation, and the establishment of the Paducah School of Art and Design has increased the opportunities for laborers and craftsmen with specific skill sets to work on historic structures. The Historic Preservation Technology curriculum is designed to provide that type of "hands-on" learning, teaching students the basic carpentry skills that are used to preserve and restore historic structures. Additional classroom education provides a foundation in preservation theory and history.
The Historic Preservation Technology certificate provides specialized training in the areas of masonry, window, roof restoration and traditional woodworking techniques. Students are taken into the field where they practice the techniques learned in the workshops on real-world preservation projects. This includes working on the department's own historic field lab house and completing community based projects, like restoring windows in a LowerTown warehouse, or repairing stained glass windows from a local church. This 22 credit hour certificate provides the basic components required to understand Architecture and Historic Preservation as well as provide hands-on instruction for preservation.
There are no special admission requirements for this program. Please consult WKCTC's general admission requirements.

An Augusta woman who police say did not realize her 4-year-old daughter had left their home during the storm in search of ice cream Wednesday evening has been charged with child endangerment.
Augusta police issued Franca Gagliano McFarland a summons charging her with endangering the welfare of a child after her daughter turned up by herself at the Circle K on Western Avenue.
Police said McFarland told them she did not realize the little girl had left the house, which is about a half-mile from the store. A mixture of snow and rain was falling at the time, police said. The girl was wearing a coat, hat and boots, according to police.
A clerk at the store called police around 6 p.m. Wednesday when the girl walked into the store alone. The child gave police enough information for them to locate her mother, who police said was unaware that her daughter had left the house.

Buyer beware: Fake Web sites could snare football fans
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2007 at 6:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 5, 2007 at 6:40 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS Tickets sold out in a single day for two of the biggest college sporting events of the year, the BCS National Championship Game and the Allstate Sugar Bowl, both of which will be played at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans next month .
A host of Web sites, some legitimate, others not, aim to meet the voracious demand for tickets, especially to the championship football game, which pits No. 1 LSU against No. 2 Ohio State.
Superdome staff and the Louisiana State Police are cautioning buyers to carefully vet the authenticity of sites used to purchase game tickets, some of which are being sold for thousands of dollars.
Weve been aware of a few people here and there that have created fraudulent Web sites, said Sgt. Markus Smith, a State Police spokesman. Theyre not legitimate. They either have fake tickets, or they dont have any tickets at all.
In a state swimming in LSU purple and gold, Internet scammers and other con artists are attempting to turn a quick profit from the ticket scarcity.
The demands out there, people are going to spend the money and theyre trying to take advantage of it, Smith said. The biggest thing were trying to caution people about is these fake Web sites.

What can I say? I reserved the Chase Suites for my wife and sister who were visiting their aunt in Yorba Linda. They phoned me when they arrived to tell me how wonderful their two room suite and the hotel grounds were. The next day I heard about there large their fantastic breakfast and how close they were to restaurants and shopping. Also, "everyone at the hotel is so friendly." My wife travels a lot. She is quite demanding when it comes to a hotel room. If she knew how little I paid for her suite, she might have never considered this hotel.
