MakuluLinux KDE 6.0 Released !Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Monday 23rd of June 2014 08:41:28 AM Filed under
The Long Awaited update to the KDE Edition is now over, Stability, Speed and Beauty is what drives this edition. This Edition is a special one for me because I worked on most of it while being extremely sick to the point where I could not walk, with nothing but a bed, laptop and time on my hands I went to work on this baby and this is the result.

Freshen up your KDE's Plasma desktop using Evolvere iconsSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Saturday 21st of June 2014 07:23:02 PM Filed under
Icon sets for Linux, especially for the KDE's Plasma desktop, have usually been scarce, with not so many themes being complete nor good looking. Oxygen icon set looks and feels outdated, and Faenza and Kfaenza mods from different people over the past years gradually morphed into frankenstein projects. There have been attempts at completing icon sets that would give your desktop some crispness and freshness, but many of them, despite being well designed and though out, lack many commonly used app icons, or monochrome tray icons, or, well, take your pick, you probably went through the same experience as I did.
Artikulate port to GStreamer-1.x is ready to mergeSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Saturday 21st of June 2014 07:14:59 PM Filed under
As an pronunciation trainer, Artikulate does not only need sound output, but also sound input. For sound output the (Linux) world is kind of simple and it only costs some lines of code to integrate Phonon or a similar framework into your application. For sound input it is trickier, especially if you do not want to work with a C-style API (when coding a C++/Qt application, C-style API feels very strange). The solution to this problem is QtGStreamer, which provides Qt-style C++ bindings for GStreamer, and hence access to the currently best multimedia framework.

Sponsors required for KDE code sprint in Randa
KDE is organizing a "coding sprint" in Randa, Switzerland. KDE Developer Sprints are focused gatherings of KDE developers to work on a specific part of KDE. Sprints are an opportunity to plan, design, and hack (think 20% socialization and 80% perspiration). Though sprints are supported by KDE e.V. financially and organizationally, we are having more enthusiastic people than funds allotted to us by KDE e.V. We need your support in helping us to fill this gap.
Starving Developers
Phonon, a pillar of our multimedia solutions, was revived in Randa. Kdenlive, our video editor, became 302% more awesome in Randa. The KDE Frameworks 5 movement seeking to make our awesome libraries more useful to all the world started in Randa. Amarok 2 was planned in Randa. Approximately a godzillion bugs were fixed in Randa.

Geogebra file support in Kig ( GSoC Report )
KIG currently has filters for various formats ( Cabri, Dr-Geo, KGeo, KSeg ). I have been working on implementing the Geogebra-filter for KIG. Here's some introduction about the Geogebra-filter that we are trying to implement :
First Report
As the title (Lyrics Support improvements) of my Google Summer of code project suggests, I am improving the way lyrics are fetched and displayed in Amarok. Personally, I like to follow the lyrics of the song that is playing; so I added this is idea to the Idea Page for GSoC 2014. And now here I am, working on it. I goal of my project is to highlight the particular line from the entire lyrics text that is being played.
Last week in Krita — week 23 & 24
In the last two weeks, besides the coding work on the git repositories, Boudewijn has made available a hefty number of testing builds for the windows community. This builds brings up the latest novelties and features developed in the master branch. Note, however, not all feature sets are finished and it is not recommended for production use. Get the bleeding edge build
after convergence
Two years later I gave a presentation summarizing these thoughts at Akademy in Dublin. A desktop layer that was stackable like a normal window ("dashboard" in today's jargon), scripted components instead of compiled applets, dataengines, network services, dynamically loading different layouts for different user activities, using threads to keep the UI fluid, easy animation systems, configure/manipulate-in-place, a window manager that did more than just put title bars around things, etc. It was finally time to get to turning scribbles in notebooks into code. (I was still maintaining various parts of KDE's 3.x desktop at the time, in particular kicker, as well as working on a variety of other bits of KDE software. This, along with a semi-crazy travel schedule kept me busy with productive things while these ideas were crystallizing.)
QML module versions and automatic imports
Five Musings on Frameworks Quality
KDE Frameworks 5 will be released in 2 weeks from now. This fifth revision of what is currently known as the "KDE Development Platform" (or, technically "kdelibs") is the result of 3 years of effort to modularize the individual libraries (and "bits and pieces") we shipped as kdelibs and kde-runtime modules as part of KDE SC 4.x. KDE Frameworks contains about 60 individual modules, libraries, plugins, toolchain, and scripting (QtQuick, for example) extensions.

Lenovo G50 & CentOS 7.2 MATE - Fairly solid
Is there a perfect track record for any which distro? No. Do any two desktop environments ever behave the same? No. Is there anything really good and cool about the MATE offering? Yes, definitely. It's not the finest, but it's definitely quite all right. You do get very decent hardware support, adequate battery life and good performance, smartphone and media support is top notch, and your applications will all run happily. On the other hand, you will struggle with Samba and Bluetooth, and there are some odd issues here and there. I think the Gnome and Xfce offerings are better, but MATE is not to be dissed as a useless relic. Far from it, this is definitely an option you ought to consider if you're into less-than-mainstream desktops, and you happen to like CentOS. To sum it all up, another goodie in the growing arsenal of CentOS fun facts. Enjoy.

We're getting you set for each of this weekend's seven Big Ten spring games with a short preview of every one.
Let's take a look now at Michigan's Mott Spring Football Scrimmage:
When: Noon, Saturday
Where: Michigan Stadium
Admission: Free.
TV: Big Ten Network (live)
Weather forecast: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, with a high near 63.
What to watch for: Because of a lack of depth on the offensive line, the Wolverines won't have a normal spring game. Instead, Saturday will be more like a regular practice with some scrimmaging.
It's still the public's first chance to see the reigning Sugar Bowl champions this spring and check out how some players are going to replace valuable leaders off last year's 11-2 squad. The defensive line in particular will be under scrutiny as Michigan attempts to replace three valuable senior starters up front. Brady Hoke hasn't always been happy with his line play this spring, so it would be encouraging if those guys could turn in a good performance to build on this summer. Remember that last year's defensive line was far from a finished product by the end of spring, and it ended up being one of the best in the Big Ten.
Fans will also want to see how Denard Robinson is throwing the ball. Reports from practice have been encouraging, as offensive coordinator Al Borges says his quarterback is using better fundamentals and passing with more accuracy. Robinson no longer has safety blanket Junior Hemingway at receiver, so Roy Roundtree and Jeremy Gallon figure to be on the receiving end of his throws most often.
Also keep an eye on the young players in reserve roles. The Wolverines aren't blessed with a ton of depth -- hence, the lack of a true spring game -- and any major injuries could be problematic. Backups on the offensive line and all over the defense need to develop.

Emmys: Creative Arts Awards Ceremony Expanded To 2 Nights
The TV Academy is splitting its mammoth Creative Arts Emmy Awards show into two. The move comes as the number of categories continues to rise each year to a point where producers had to impose draconian measures to keep acceptance speeches under 30 seconds — resulting in winners ditching their shoes to sprint to the stage.
The Television Academy's Board of Governors has voted to expand its Creative Emmys to two consecutive nights, both of which will take place the weekend prior to the Emmy Awards telecast. The back-to-back ceremonies, both to be held at LA Live's Microsoft Theater, will be produced by Bob Bain, who also produced the 2015 show.
To avoid audience attendance overlap, the two shows will be split into two broad category groups. Additionally, identical Creative Arts Ball celebrations will be held each night.
Last year, there were 82 categories in the single ceremony.
"One of our primary missions as an Academy is to recognize creative excellence, both in front of and behind the cameras," said Academy Chairman and CEO Bruce Rosenblum. "Our Academy has a legacy of adjusting and expanding our awards to reflect the changing nature of our members' Emmy-worthy work. The industry is growing, and we now have more than enough wonderful creativity to enjoy a second Creative Arts show where we can celebrate the excellence and achievement of this year's work."
Maybe we could have one night for black nominees, and one night for white nominees. Oh…….wrong award ceremony. Sorry. Hahahaaaaa
I understand how this helps nominees, but for those of us who attend in support of nominated colleagues whose contributions would likely span both evenings, it seems like a nightmare scenario.
Why not rent out multiple rooms in the LA Convention Center and split things up by subject matter, with the events held concurrently. Each group could actually engage their subject matter over a leisurely 90-minutes. Then everyone could meet up for a nice Governors Ball.
The current arrangement has been buckling under its own weight for a long time. Pretending the Creative Arts Emmys show is just like the Primetime Emmys show has been misguided. Splitting it up into two evenings seems like a further step away from common sense and possibly a waste of Academy resources.
One thing that this article (and similar on other websites) doesn't mention is exactly how the categories are being divided into each night.
I also want to mention as an Television Academy member that this change in format has not been officially communicated to its members in any form of email or phone call and that this split is news to me… There is a lack of communication between the leadership and the rest of the organization and I hope that it improves.
Fantastic idea!!!
Anything involving the TV Academy is so minor when compared to the world at large, but as a member of the organization, here's what I've taken away from this:
Under potential category reorganization, if I were to be nominated for producing "Island Hunters" and our editor Dave was nominated in his category, and our categories were at different ceremonies, there's the potential that in order to support Dave at his ceremony and include him at our ceremony, we would have to spend double the money we would now to attend both shows. (Yeah, by the way, you have to pay to attend the shows, even when you're nominated, and that can be prohibitive to some nominees. A lot of below the line people routinely win Emmys and are unable to be there to receive their award.)
Add to this, the Board of Governors made this decision without informing the membership that this was on the agenda, nor have they sent us communication concerning this "issue." I found out about it through my usual browsing of Deadline and Variety.
To me, it shows a lack of consideration to active members to be so uncommunicative and to make big decisions that affect the way we're able to recognize the work of our peers… My dues are up at the end of June and I have five months to decide if I want to spend the $175 to continue to say that I'm an Emmy voter.
On one hand its disappointing because like working in television itself, being an Emmy voter is something I always aspired to be… On the other hand, being an Emmy voter is essentially a luxury purchase and a lot of the decisions the Academy has made recently (including jacking up the cost of submitting programs and nominees for consideration, even as the number of submissions are at an all time high thanks to the industry hitting "PEAK" production last year,) reeks of classism and doesn't sit well with me.

Shopping is among the ways the internet has transformed the lives of many of us. Not only is it extremely convenient, in almost every instance, you can avoid spending money using it to buy different things. However, if you haven't used a product before, or you are making a major acquisition, it is a great idea to read a few product reviews before you make your final decision. Click here for more information on the subject.
Every single maker of a product will constantly try and make their thing appear like it's the best one, at any given price point. Nonetheless, as we all know, there are certain pieces that are just made better than other ones. It could be because one business uses high quality raw materials, or maybe they've a more experienced workforce, or it might be because the thing is only designed better.
Whatever the reason is, the truth of the matter is that some products simply function better than their opponents do. As it pertains to buying something on the internet without being able to hold it in your hand and test it out, how are you supposed to know which product you're contemplating will give you the very best bang for the money that you are spending on it?
Happily now, there are various sites that provide top product reviews. A few of these websites will specialize in areas like TV's, smart phones, or other electronic gadgets. Follow this link to read reviews on the topic. Whereas other ones provide a wide selection of leading product reviews, which cover nearly every product that has ever been sold.
To locate a website that has one of the top product reviews about an item that you are considering acquiring, all you need to do would be to use a major search engine like Bing, Yahoo!, or Google. Then what you need to do is to type something like this in the search engine "XXX product review".
When you do that, unless it's a really obscure item, you need to be presented with a rather big number of sites to choose from. You can just begin on top of the list, and work your way down to the underside. As you do that, it'll quickly become evident which product reviews are worth reading, and which ones will only be a waste of time.
Just like the goods that these websites are reviewing, not all product reviews are the same. Some sites thoroughly research each item they are writing about, and some barely supply little more advice than the manufacturer of the thing gave them.
Thus, before you make a mistake and spend your hard won money on something that's not going to force you to get happy, please ensure that you read as many product reviews on the thing as you can locate. After all, this is your money we're discussing, as well as the economy is not the most effective it's ever been, so it is a buyer's market and you also ought to benefit from it.

Customer Reviews
Good but could be better
Overall good. Tracks your rides and allows you to go back to them. Maybe I am not sure how to fully use the app but I want to be able to plan out a route and have it tell me when to turn like a normal GPS would do. I have not found a app that can truly do this. Or say I want to go from point A to point B in a certain amount of time and the app would find the best motorcycle route. When I ride I want the most scenic route.
Love tracking rides but doesn't find new routes
Like the weather at the bottom as well and recording rides but when I look for new routes it says it can't find any.
Not Bad
Not bad it's a first step for this app. It's not a gps device that will give you turn by turn. But not bad all though the sharing files need a little more work but not bad at all .

Right in the heart of Canberra's CBD along the London Circuit, you'll find the very artsy QT Canberra, a sleek designer hotel overlooking Lake Burley Griffin. In a previous life, it was known as the Rydges Lakeside – but stepping into the renovated foyer and rooms, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a brand new hotel.

Manly conjures up many different images to many people. If you're a Sydneysider, you're probably drawn on territorial battlelines – either loving God's country or being wary of the weirdos from the insular peninsula. If you're from elsewhere you are likely either aware of Manly due to the surf or because of Home & Away. You should now know it for an excellent brewery: 4 Pines. Named after some of the ubiquitous trees lining the beach promenade, there's a lot to like about this young upstart – though, to be
Arguably one of Sydney's most photographed spots, The Grounds are a picturesque eating precinct hidden amongst the industrial backstreets of Alexandria. Known for its cafe, coffee roastery and sustainable garden, the fresh produce, small animal farm and markets make it feel like you've been transported from the middle of Sydney to the countryside. That was always the plan, apparently. Ramzey Choker, co-founder of The Grounds, always "wanted to transform the spot with inspiration coming from my childhood memories of going to my uncle's farm in rural New South Wales." Ramzey goes
Canberra is the one city that most Australians (let alone, tourists) forget about. Our capital city is nestled somewhat halfway between its cooler sisters Sydney and Melbourne, and has therefore traditionally been seen as the stomping ground of everyone's least favourite people: federal politicians and public school children on the excursion pilgrimage. But in between the many public service department buildings and the meticulously urban planned transit system (which seriously looks like something out of Cities in Motion: Skyline when you're looking down upon Canberra from the vantage point

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kat77 Cats come running! My two Tonkinese kitties love this product. They come running when they hear the pouch shake!! One if their favorites. July 12, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sancott From a member of the clean plate club! My rescue cat, who existed her first few months of life outside on mice and "whatever,"... has gotten very picky. She will eat very little else except seafood. When fed Mack, Jack and Sam on its own, she gobbles it right down, but wants to eat again sooner than her normal time. She likes the sauce, but it's not very filling...thus the reason for four stars versus five. While she will not eat chicken or turkey as stand-alone meals, I will mix in a bit with this food and that seems to satisfy her hunger longer. She really meows when she sees this packet and licks the bowl clean! I am glad to find a grain-free formula and one that is carrageen free. Chewy is the best with delivery and so helpful with refunds if a particular food does not meet approval from your pet. I recommend Chewy to everyone I know with pets. March 13, 2016

Food Stamp Nation
Uncle Sam's free grocery rolls keep growing.
The Obama and Romney campaigns spent Tuesday sniping over whether the President deserves an "incomplete" grade, as Mr. Obama put it, for fixing the economy. The more revealing news was the Department of Agriculture report, released on the Friday before Labor Day weekend, that 46,670,373 Americans are now on food stamps.
That's an all-time record, at an annual cost of $71.8 billion, $770 billion over a decade. Mull over that one for a minute. That's nearly one of out every seven people—46 million citizens—who depend on taxpayers to buy one of life's most basic responsibilities. It's a good thing breathing air is free.
This isn't to run down the poor, or those hurt by the recession that Mr. Obama didn't cause or the recovery that he has done so much to enfeeble. Safety-net benefits and enrollment are supposed to expand or contract with the economy. But under this President there's been no contraction, even though the recession ended three years ago.
The food-stamp rolls grew by 173,000 in the last month and use is 3.3% higher than a year ago. As recently as 2009 "only" 33 million people took food aid and the program cost $50.4 billion. The food-stamp boom began with the George W. Bush Republicans, who expanded benefits in the appalling 2002 farm bill.
But the supercharger was a 2008 bill out of the Pelosi Congress that goosed eligibility and rebranded the program as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, to reduce the stigma of being on the dole. Then there was the 2009 stimulus, which expanded the program again.
Liberals argued then and still do that food stamps are one of the most effective ways the government can juice the economy. Really, they claim to believe this. The USDA's Economic Research Service estimates that food stamps have a "multiplier" of 1.79, meaning that every dollar in transfer payments boosts gross domestic product by $1.79. So why not have the feds put everyone on food stamps for three squares a day and really get the economy cooking?
The Romney camp won't say this because they'll be accused of being cruel, but having one in every seven Americans dependent on food stamps is not a sign of compassion. It is a sign of economic failure. Recall Paul Ryan's great line from the GOP convention about "the best this Administration offers—a dull, adventureless journey from one entitlement to the next, a government-planned life, a country where everything is free but us."

Skip to comments.Manatee touts forum, gun buyback to fight violence
Posted on 09/14/2009 11:53:53 AM PDT by greatdefender
MANATEE County officials are holding a gun buyback and community forum on violence in light of the second fatal teen shooting in a month.
You never know what guns youre going to get, said Manatee County Sheriff Brad Steube when asked about the gun buyback. You never know if youre going to get guns that are kept off the street.
Authorities still havent found where 18-year-old Daniel Williams allegedly discarded a gun authorities say he used to shoot a Bayshore High School cheerleader.
Detectives say Williams fired into a car full of cheerleaders, hitting and killing 17-year-old Jasmine Thompson on Friday night after a high school football game. Williams gave detectives a general idea of where the gun was.
The sheriffs office had a gun buyback a couple of months ago, and 77 guns were turned in for cash.
The buyback allows gun owners to trade in guns with no ID needed or questions asked. Participants will receive $50 for revolvers and $100 for rifles or shotguns.
The gun buyback will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, at the Manatee County Sheriffs Office, 600 301 Blvd. W., Bradenton.
Before the buyback, community leaders will have a forum on how to curtail violence in hopes of coming up with a blueprint to address the issue.
I can only hope that these discussions were having lead to less violence in the community, Steube said.
The forum is from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Sept. 19 at Johnson Middle School, 2121 26th Ave. E., Bradenton.
In the meantime, authorities continue to investigate Thompsons death.
Sheriffs reports say just before 11 p.m., Friday, Williams walked up to a car holding Thompson, in the area of 37th Avenue East and 11th Street Court East, outside Southeast High School, and made a comment of a sexual nature to the four girls in the car.
When the driver of the car drove off, witnesses say Williams fired four shots at the vehicle, with one of the bullets hitting Thompson in the head. Williams, a former Horizons alternative school student, has been arrested on a charge of second-degree murder in the shooting. A motive for why Williams opened fire is unknown and may never be know, Manatee County Sheriffs Office Public Information Officer Dave Bristow said.
We dont know. I dont think we are ever going to have a clear motive, Bristow said.
Detectives have several witnesses to the shooting and Williams has also made statements to investigators, but the hope is still to recover the gun.
We would like to have it, said Bristow. He has given us locations around the area but we havent found anything.
Bristow declined to discuss the nature of statements Williams has given to detectives, or whether he confessed to the shooting.
He has been somewhat cooperative, but we arent going to go into what he told us, said Bristow.
Thompson is the second teenager shot in a month with ties to Bayshore High School. In August, authorities say former Southeast High School student Byron Galloway opened fire on 18-year-old recent Bayshore graduate DeJuan Williams in his backyard. Sheriffs reports say Williams had been searching for boys who had been in his house with his sister without his parents permission.
In Galloways case, detectives recovered the gun detectives say he used, but have been unsuccessful in finding how the teen got the gun. It is unclear if Williams obtained his firearm legally because it is legal for gun owners to sell firearms to persons 18 or older. Without concealed weapons permit, however, Williams would have been in violation of state law by carrying the gun.
On Tuesday, dozens of public officials gathered to condemn both killings, and gun violence in general, pleading for parents and students to report anyone with weapons.
Professor James Wright, a University of Central Florida sociologist who has studied guns and gun violence, said when kids end up with guns it is usually a weapon obtained from a home, not through illicit street level sales.
Guns coming from the home are a much bigger source for kids to get guns than stereotype of the creepy guy in the trench coat selling them guns from his trunk, Wright said. Kids often takes guns from their homes, and they are passed around and passed around until it is hard to tell where they end up.
Wright also said the majority guns that do end up on the street for illegal sale come from burglaries from residences.
For someone committing a burglary, guns are about the best thing they can find. They are portable, in demand and keep their value, Wright said. Unlike something like jewelry which have some value but little on the street, a gun worth $300 in a store is worth $300 on the street.
Meanwhile, Thompsons cheerleading teammates continue to mourn the loss of their friend, and raise money for her family. On Wednesday, members of the Bayshore cheerleading squad gathered donations at the Mexicali Border Cafe restaurant.
She was such a good person, said team captain Kristi Drobecker. We are so upset this happened. It is shocking for all of us.
The team is expected to be on hand at a memorial for Thompson at the Bayshore football field Thursday, and Drobecker said at future games an easel with a large picture of their teammate will remain at the center of the squad as they perform their routines around it.
She was the type of person that loved being the center of attention. So we are going to do that for her, said Drobecker.
The memorial for Thompson on Thursday will be at Bayshore High School, 5401 34th St. W., at 4:30 p.m., school officials said.
Beth Burger, criminal justice reporter, contributed to this report.
And there's no telling how many wonderful old guns get turned in by little old ladies, only to be unceremoniously shredded or melted down. It's a travesty.
No telling how many dealers are a block or two away offering $55 for revolvers and $105 for rifles or shotguns.
One thing is for sure, idiot, you WON'T be getting those guns that thugs use, off the streets.
You WILL be getting fine firearms owned by poor widows who need money and don't realize what their husbands actually left them, and pieces of crap nobody in their right mind would use, and maybe the kinds of guns thugs have damaged in the line of "duty" so they can't use them anymore.
The morons who come up with criminally fraudulent ideas like this should read that fairy tale about "belling the cat".
Because they think just like the mice in that fairy tale.
What about pistols?
Here's a novel idea: how about getting the criminals kept off the street?
The kind of people who trade guns in in these bogus shams know little or nothing about them, or they turn in garbage nobody would use which isn't worth the tax dollars paid for them.
Its a scam - ALL the way around.
Does Manatee county have a federal firearms license?
I wonder how many valuable guns are turned in by idiots for a few bucks. The cities that hold these stupid buy-backs are missing a chance to sell the guns to dealers for money. I suspect most of the good stuff goes into some cop's pocket anyway.
Maybe they should have a testacle buy-back program to fight rape.
I read the headline and wondered if the story would feature an enormous aquatic mammal saying "Increase the peace, yo."
I'm sure those criminals and gang bangers are lining up to give their weapons in
It is odd that the gentle giant of the deep wants guns.
Forum shmorum.... and gun buy-backs are a dime a dozen.
The REAL news as far as I am concerned is the talking Manatee!
when my mother died, my f***ing sister and my f***ing cousin wanted to give her guns to the police - what a pair of a$$holes. I told them not to do that.
I would show up and give twice that for any of the nicer guns.
I can't believe that there isn't a police bazaar before they melt them down for any really nice guns that want to end up in a officers collection.
What the hell does that mean?
geographically lovely, however, what with the Manatee river and all.
Funny you should mention that. I have always wanted to set up a table a few yards away from one of those ridiculous "buy-backs" and offer $5 to $10 more than the cops are offering.
I once saw video on the news of a guy standing in line at a DC gun "buy-back" holding a new-looking Armalite AR15, for which he was going to collect the princely sum of $100.
Another woman bragged on camera about getting $50 for her dead father's "...old revolver, which always scared me as long as it was in the house, but I just never knew what to do with it". The "old revolver" turned out to be a '60s vintage nickel-finish Colt Python .357 magnum.
It never ceases to amaze me ho stupid some sheeple are.
"Manatee touts forum, gun buyback to fight violence"
Hmmmmmm... Manatees. It all makes sense now...
Cartman is introduced to the "Family Guy" writing staff, who turn out to be a group of manatees. The aquatic mammals, who live in a large tank, pick up "idea balls" from a large pile of them, each of which has a different noun, a verb or a pop-culture reference written on it, and deliver them, five at a time, to a machine that then forms a Family Guy cutaway gag based on those ideas. For example, "Laundry" + "Date" + "Winning" + "Mexico" + "Gary Coleman" becomes a clip of Lois asking Peter to do the laundry, after which Peter recalls winning a date in Mexico with Gary Coleman.
Humm.. That Gun Buy Back aside, that's (Bayshore H.S.) where graduated from High School back in '81. It's right across the street from Nick Bolitary tennis academy. Looks like the old neighborhood's done down hill!
I have always thought the same thing.
I wonder how many cops have enhanced the quality of their personal firearms collections at public expense.
"I wonder how many cops have enhanced the quality of their personal firearms collections at public expense."
Better than melting them down and letting them go to waste.
Another nice lib "feelgood" program with zero effect on crime. Typical. The only winners here are the thugs who turn in crap for $100!
I registered at the Bradenton Herald site and left a half dozen comments in response to other posters. Go check them out. I used my FR name, too.
Does Manatee county have a federal firearms license?
I've been asking this question for years! If they don't have a license why are these "buybacks" not illegal? And why is the Brady bunch not demanding that these sales be run through the "federal system" to "catch guns that have been used in crimes".
Wow! I can get $50 EACH for my Raptor and Hubby's Raptor II? I'll get right on that, you betcha.
Not to mention wee-wee up the local idiot sheriff.
The comments about LOL (little old ladies) bringing in their dead husband's weapons are especially true in Manatee County. Law enforcement is specifically targeting households with guns because they may be burglarized and guns are the prized loot, followed by kids taking their parents weapons.
So, instead of getting rid of the bad guys who burglarize homes, taxpayer funds are used to make a few folks feel good.
I think it's a great idea to set up a table just outside the buyback driveway to look for bargains and collector's items.
Somebody had to
This manatee looks sad that the cops are so stupid.
You do not need an FFL to buy firearms; only to sell them in quantity.

The Beastie Boys
Yes, it's true: The Beastie Boys are pushing 40. As their original fan base comes to terms with being 30- and 40-somethings, the Beasties have responded by looking to the past on their latest CD. To the Five Boroughs represents a throwback to the formative days of rap music, casting its gaze on a period that took place well before even the Beasties dipped their sardonic little toes in hip-hop -- the streets of New York during the late '70s. Who would've guessed that three white rappers from New York would still be around 20 years after forming. Here's to the art of aging gracefully with one hand on your crotch. -- Saby Reyes-Kulkarni
The Beastie Boys and Talib Kweli (see Music story) perform at 7:30 p.m. Monday, October 18, at Office Depot Center, 1 Panthers Pkwy., Sunrise. Tickets cost $29.50 to $40. Call 954-835-8000.

Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Pfizer today is opening an R&D facility in Cambridge, MA, where the pharma giant will consolidate 1,000 staffers previously based at three locations within the region.
Pfizer scientists will work from the facility on a range of clinical programs across therapeutic areas that include inflammation, immunology, rare disease, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and neuroscience, the company said.
The new 280,000-square-foot R&D hub, at 610 and 700 Main St. near Kendall Square, is designed to position Pfizer closer to the dense concentration of academic institutions, hospitals and patient organizations within the top-tier Boston/Cambridge biopharma cluster.
One of those academic institutions, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is Pfizer's landlord, as well as the company's partner in a three-year research collaboration launched in February to advance drug discovery and development technologies by translating discoveries in synthetic biology.
"Our new Kendall Square presence in Cambridge represents an important milestone in Pfizer's approach to creating a sustainable R&D engine that is designed to yield a flow of innovative therapies year after year," Mikael Dolsten, M.D., Ph.D., Pfizer's president of worldwide research and development, said in a statement.
Dr. Dolsten added: "Having all of our Cambridge-area researchers working closely together in one of the world's most exciting biomedical ecosystems will allow us to continue our efforts to grow our external collaborations and has the potential to help speed the translation of scientific knowledge into potential medical breakthroughs across areas of unmet need such as lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, muscular dystrophy and Parkinson's disease."
José-Carlos Gutiérrez-Ramos, Ph.D., Pfizer group vp of BioTherapeutics R&D, told The Boston Globe that Pfizer has 25 to 30 research collaborations under way in the Boston area – a number that is expected to increase with the opening of the new R&D hub.
The new R&D hub is Pfizer's newest facility in Massachusetts. Over the past 15 years, Pfizer has established in the Bay State a research and manufacturing site in Andover, MA; and a global headquarters in Boston for its Centers for Therapeutic Innovation (CTI), a network of academic-industry research hubs designed to bridge the gap between early scientific discovery and its translation into new medicines. CTI has additional locations in New York, San Diego, and San Francisco.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D) and MIT President L. Rafael Reif, Ph.D., will lead dignitaries in a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for noon.
"With this extraordinary core of Pfizer research teams now right next door to our labs at MIT, we can capitalize on the power of proximity to speed progress towards solutions to urgent challenges in human health," Reif said.

Have your little one gotten a flu shot? If not why? I am leaning more towards no, but want others input before I make my final decision.
flu shot for a 15 month old????
My little one arrived October 25th! My life began when he arrived!
Silver (.Y.)
I did not get the flu shot for DD. She is not in day care and my doctor told me it wasn't mandatory. I have never had a flu shot and my DH always has a bad reaction to it so he stopped getting too.
Never pass up an opportunity to pee.
Our LO got one (two, actually...the first one and the booster a few weeks later), and I got one too. She had a low-grade fever and fussiness the night of the shot, and no reaction to the booster.
I've been motiviated to get a flu shot myself ever since I had the flu (the real deal) in 2000. Before that, it wasn't really on my radar. I was so sick, and it took over two weeks to recover completely. It was the last bad lung infection I've had. I also wanted LO to get one because the very thought of her getting that sick fills me with anxiety. The flu can be quite serious for babies and little kids. She is in daycare full time.
I don't think this is a particularly bad flu year, at least not around here (Phoenix). At this point, I'd see how bad the flu season has been in your area and make a judgment based on that. And talk to your pedi, of course.
Madeleine born October 27, 2010
Blog! (note some coarse language): www.onegroovymother.com
Lo did not get one, he is not in a day care, and myself have only had the flu shot one time in the past and was so sick..
DD 4/30/2000 DS 10/20/2010 DS 10/21/2012 DD 10/23/14 http://karisglamjams.jamberrynails.net/
DD 4/30/2000 DS 10/20/2010 DS 10/21/2012 DD 10/23/14 http://karisglamjams.jamberrynails.net/
Little lovebug 10/19/10. Baby Snugglebug 3/25/13
Turns out, I'm a big breastfeeding, baby-wearing hippie.
I didn't get my son done because I'm a SAHM and he is really only around me and very rarely around my friends kids (when I say rarely maybe once or twice a month) and we all make sure our kids have not been sick in the last week or so...
However with that being said, I did get one and so did my DH...we figure We get it and prevent us from getting it becuase we'd be the ones to most likely give it to him...ALso I got it because I'm preggers again and I know getting the flu while preggers is a really bad thing so I wanted to make sure that didn't happen!
So far so good!
Who would've thought we would have three sons!!

LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers have spent a lot of time over the past few days defending Yasiel Puig's personality. They're a little more concerned, however, with some erratic signs in his hitting than they are with whether he rankles opponents' feelings.
Everything Puig does is big, including striking out. His swings and misses have been on an astronomical climb the past 10 days. Since July 2, Puig has swung and missed 44 times. The next closest hitter in the majors, B.J. Upton, has swung and missed 30 times since then.
While Puig has maintained a more-than-reasonable batting average (.275) since July 2, his OPS has gone from 1.218 to .643. On the season, he has struck out 36 times and walked eight times.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly sees the spike in Puig's strikeouts as a product of over-aggression.
"He gets emotional and he wants to do it. He gets mad," Mattingly said. "It's like he has to calm himself back down and get strikes. It's almost like, 'I know where they're going and I'm going to hit that ball.' I think, in a sense, he thinks he can do anything.
"At some point, you have to figure out exactly what you hit, what you don't hit and what a guy can do to you."
One of the more disturbing trends with Puig's strikeouts is that they are not necessarily a result of chasing bad pitches. His swing-and-miss rate within the strike zone, according to ESPN Stats and Information, has gone from 20.5 percent to 43 percent since July 2.
In a lengthy and engaging interview on ESPNLA 710 Friday, Mattingly defended Puig's exuberant style of play and praised Andre Ethier for his willingness to play wherever -- and whenever -- the Dodgers have asked him.
* Carl Crawford was a late scratch with some stiffness in his lower back, but Mattingly described the injury as "minor." Crawford was replaced by Skip Schumaker, fresh off serving a two-game suspension for the June 11 brawl with Arizona.
