In our Facebook Story of the Day, you wanted to know if Georgia residents need a permit to carry a taser.
Dougherty County District Attorney Greg Edwards says there are two different kinds of tasers; one requires a permit and one doesn't.
The handheld taser that requires contact to be made with a subject in order to work doesn't require a permit but the taser that shoots wires â" commonly used by police departments â" is considered a firearm in the state of Georgia and does require a permit.
Edwards says although you need a permit for the shooting taser, you don't need it if you are storing it in your house, car or property. Only when it leaves your property can you be charged with Carrying a Firearm without a Permit.

T cops search for suspect in cane attack on disabled rider
Transit police are on the hunt for a man who attacked a disabled T rider with his own cane at the Andrew Square Station.
Police say the perp stole the 44-year-old victim's cane and struck him in the chest before walking away with a female companion at about 11 p.m. Saturday.
"Violent acts, such as the one depicted within the video, will not be tolerated on the MBTA," Transit police detective Richard Sullivan told the Herald. "We will identify the person responsible and ensure they are held accountable for their actions."

Skip to comments.The Super Jury is Official - 172 members vote to charge Obama with Fraud and Treason
Posted on 06/27/2009 5:11:50 PM PDT by Man50D
You wanted the BIG time Obama well, you got your wish from the Patriots at American Grand Jury. 172 Grand Jury members worked night and day for 10 days in session to hand down the presentments against our arrogant Usurper.
Its defintely a worlds record and Obama now owns it the biggest Grand Jury vote in history charging the ONE with Fraud and Treason.
Many Obots out there think we are crazy. The Patriots will say, so who cares what the followers of deception think?
The people that truly believe and can read the United States Constitution know without a doubt the prez is as illegal as a 3 dollar bill. Those that blindly follow BO are only hoping he never gets caught as the road to deception will truly judge all those in the end.
Now that the Presentments are finished and posted for our members to download, what are we going to do next?
Mack Ellis and Carl Swensson are headed to Washington DC and should be there on Monday. They have a number of stops to make to serve the Super Jury Presentments on various people who are complicit in helping Obama stay in office. The White House advisors, Eric Holder, the DC Attorney General, the Offices of Pelosi and Reid, the Offices of the Supreme Court and certain other powerful and undisclosed recipients are on the list. Will these liberal government officials care? Some will laugh, most will hide! Will it make a difference to those of us who cant stand the thought that our leaders in Congress and the Administration lie, cheat and steal to retain their power. Like I said previously, the road to deception will judge these people in times to come. God has a plan for all of us. You either live your life in honor of God and his laws or you choose the other side. It is really very simple. All the retoric in the world will not change this supreme truth.
Next, we are asking every Patriot to celebrate the 4th of July by telling your friends and neighbors that the Usuper has been charged with Frand and Treason. This should give everyone a thrill and make the fireworks even more exciting. After all, the 4th of July represents the birth of our Country and the American Revolution. The Super Jury is part of the NEW American Revolution and the Patriots goal is that of taking back America.
To help celebrate, we have the new American Grand Jury (4th of July) flyers that can be downloaded here. [the download link will be available in the next 24 hours]
We have a new AGJ BlogTalkRadio show that just made its debut this past Wednesday. It was a resounding success! The next show is scheduled 2 weeks from now.
The new American Grand Jury Forum is now up and running. It is a private Forum for graduating jury MEMBERS ONLY. The first 24 hours was exciting as the members have already contributed around 100 posts.
Waiting in the wings are over 200 NEW members in the database. These are the Patriots that have submitted their Oaths of Office and are now waiting to serve on a jury. Your wait is not long now. Everyone of you will get a chance to be on a Grand Jury in July. With active and new members we are pushing the 450 member mark and growing daily.
Things are happening at American Grand Jury. Dont miss out. We need more Grand Jury members. Click the link below to send us a message asking to serve on a Grand Jury.
He is a foreign enemy agent rather than a traitor.
This will really achieve a lot!
< / sarcasm >
The members of this grand jury will be audited, investigated and harassed for their efforts.
"He is a foreign enemy agent rather than a traitor."
Lock him up in Gitmo!!!
I suppose it beats "Dungeons & Dragons". On second thought, maybe not.
So what makes America so susceptible to cheating? Is it the lust for power, money, greed pure laziness maybe just a plain lack of education or proper upbringing?
We certainly know that Obama is no slacker when it comes to cheating. At least it certainly appears that way. When pressed about important and relevant issues surrounding his life and background we get the following results:
Original, vault copy birth certificate Not released
Certification of Live Birth posted on internet Counterfeit
Obama/Dunham marriage license Not released
Obama/Dunham divorce Released (by independent investigators)
Soetoro/Dunham marriage license Not released
Soetoro adoption records Not released
Soetoro/Dunham divorce Released (by independent investigators)
Fransiskus Assisi School School application Released (by independent investigators)
Punahou School records Not released
Selective Service Registration Released Counterfeit
Occidental College records Not released
Passport Not released and records scrubbed clean by Obamas terrorism and intelligence adviser.
Columbia College records Not released
Columbia thesis Not released
Harvard College records Not released
Harvard Law Review articles None
Baptism certificate None
Medical records Not released
Illinois State Senate records None
Illinois State Senate schedule Lost
Law practice client list Not released
University of Chicago scholarly articles None
So we here at American Grand Jury offer this unique and glorified title to Mr. Obama:The GRANDEST Cheater of all times!
And what does the average person living in America have to say about all this? Not much maybe just one BIG yawn!
Talk about people with a lot of time on their hands.
> I don't believe that he's guilty of treason because he has never owed an allegiance to the United States.
Taking the oath of office would due to solidify the treason charge.
It would, if he were actually eligible to serve as President.
Saying that Barry Soetoro is guilty of treason against the United States, is like claiming that the 9/11 terrorists were guilty of the same.
Obama is not an American turncoat that has stabbed his country in the back, he's a fraudulent foreign enemy usurper, with foreign allegiances, who is hellbent on destroying our nation.
You don't get it! the fed gov and milatary will do nothing about his b/c. what are the people going to do???? do you think that we are going to have a massive upheaveal of the people??? most people care more about dancing with the stars and survior on tv than who is the prez...hell they elected the bastard.....
I think that what we need is a Honduran Tea Party.

3D Printing with the Optima and CASA printers:
On September 6, 2016, the United Patent and Trademark Office granted patent number 9,435,998 to Tecnica for its laser print head system. This is the second patent granted this year by the USPTO to Tecnica for its 3D printing technology. Read more..
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is a 3D printing process that uses additive manufacturing technology to produce metal prototypes and production parts. DMLS prints metal parts by sintering various metal and alloy particles together. Sintering is when small particles are bound to each other in a temperature that is lower than the melting temperature in the same way how ice cubes are bound to each other when put together without melting them first.
Due to the parameters of CNC machining, all features of complex geometry parts may not be machined. Features like cavities or undercuts may not be able to be machined in traditional CNC machining. Since the DMLS process sinters powdered metal together layer by layer, many complex features can now be produced.
The key to DMLS future is in rapid printing, strength and availability of material. The cost of a DMLS printer is too high to make it available to small and mid-size companies. Tecnica is introducing two lines of printers; Optima and CASA printers. The Optima 3D DMLS printer geared for metal printing while the CASA is a tabletop 3D printer geared for smaller and non metal parts. Both the Optima and the CASA using the Titan print-head SLS technology. The Optima printer prints in a resolution better than 0.07 mm over a print volume of 400 mm x 300 mm x 280 mm, making it the best printer for its class. The CASA printer prints in a resolution better than 0.07 mm over print size of 92x100x150 mm.
Tecnica's improved the process in which the laser beam is controlled by incorporating hardware and software adjustments on the fly for the laser beam and bed position. This patented technology compensates for equipment deviations and takes into account environmental changes such as temperature, pressure, humidity and more.
Specifications for Optima:
- Feeding cartridge is used to handle multiple material.
- Prints material as Aluminum, Fe, Fe-0.8C, Fe-4Cu, Fe–0.8C–4Cu–0.4P 316L, M2 (tungsten–molybdenum), M35 ( tungsten–molybdenum-cobalt), Titanium, Nylon and more.
- The optima is using a high powered laser controlled by patented process surpassing printing speed by more than 4X of other 3D printers in the market.
- Saves print material by providing an option to chose your print bed ( 75x75x200 mm or 400x300x280 mm)
- By using a three case design and a removable print bed case, recycling of powder and retrieving of the printed models makes it easy and quick.
- The optima monitors oxygen, argon, powder, temperature, pressure at all times.
The CASA Desktop printer print volume is 92x92x150 mm and prints non metal material. Both the Optima and CASA printer use the Titan Print-head.
The illustration and specifications above are part of our product definition. Tecnica reserves the right to change the design and specification at any time.
Thank you
Tecnica, Inc. Team

Check out the fight, somewhere on the net! Enjoy!
It's being called the greatest robbery of all time.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA This is the Wiki results
Win4-2http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ngland.svg.png James ThompsonRobbery (Majority)KSW XVII02011-11-26 November 26, 201125:00Łódź, Poland
Ya it was pathetic. I could maybe see if they were going by some rules where whoever comes closest to ending the fight wins but that wasn't the case.
Apparently they fight 2 rounds, {probably since Putz only has a gas tank for about 1.5) and if it is a draw after 2 then it goes to a sudden death round. I don't know what kind of scoring could have made Putz the winner of that first round unless they are only counting leg kicks as offensive strikes. Poland sucks:thumbsdown:
Polish people love the low kicks, maybe that's the reason why Pudz won this! Polish judges must score it hard:D
And what kind of Pro promotion puts up 2 round fights???
Embarrassing for KSW worst robbery I have ever seen.
I'm new here, just signed up to clarify all this sh*t
pls guys...
I'm Polish and I know what is going on now in Poland.
All media are now cheering. Internet portals are admiring pudzianowski, but people are not blind. Comments related to all articles about that fight tell the true image; nobody in Poland believes it was pudzian who was the winner.
yeah, sure U guys are right, KSW s*cked this time, but it's KSW. All my country now is beefing at referees and Pudzian himself.
poland just as Thompson was f*cked by KSW. :confused:
by the way,
to chill I recommend U guys one good fight which took place once in my city:
it's a pity U cant understand what the commentator says at the beginning, but anyway, it's amazing

Modern Warfare 4 is reportedly in development, according to a supposed conversation that happened between Captain Price's voice actor Bill Murray and a game blogger who found himself seated beside the man on a plane.
As the story goes, a game enthusiast and blogger wound up beside Murray on an airplane from Bondrum to London (he included a photo). During the trip, he asked the actor all sorts of questions, and while most of it isn't stuff he can repeat, he quoted Murray confirming the following:
"On Monday I am off to meet Infinity Ward about the next game, Modern Warfare 4. I'm doing work on the sequel to Modern Warfare 3, it carries straight on and I only ever appear in the Modern Warfare games…"
Certainly hearsay isn't always the best evidence, but it's not like we're all shocked by there being another Modern Warfare. Those who finished the last Modern Warfare campaign may have debated whether the conclusion was final, but hey, it's Call of Duty.
Black Ops 2 will be out on November 13, and we typically see Treyarch trading off with Infinity Ward on a yearly basis. Given this pattern, the timing of a Modern Warfare 4 isn't all that off.

STX Companies Jump on Report STX OSV Sale Near: Seoul Mover
STX Pan Ocean Co. climbed the most in four years in Seoul trading, leading gains by affiliates, after MoneyToday said the shipping company's parent was close to selling a unit that makes offshore vessels.
Pan Ocean surged 15 percent, the most since Dec. 15, 2008, to close at 3,255 won. STX Offshore & Shipbuilding Co. rose 7.2 percent and holding company STX Corp. advanced 4.1 percent.
STX Group may announce the sale of its 51 percent stake in vessel-maker STX OSV Holdings Ltd. to Fincantieri SpA "soon," MoneyToday said, citing unidentified officials familiar with the deal. The report was posted on the news provider's free website today after being published on a subscription service Dec. 4. The sale may raise about 800 billion won ($743 million), the article said.
"Bets that the group's financial risks will decline with asset sales are driving shares up nicely today," said Kang Dong Jin, a Seoul-based analyst at HMC Investment Securities Co.
STX Group said in January that it may sell the OSV stake as it struggles with debts and a collapse in ship orders caused by a global glut of vessels and slumping cargo rates. The group declined to comment on the MoneyToday report when contacted by Bloomberg News today.
Bloomberg reported the talks with Fincantieri in April. The group agreed to sell 43 percent of its power-plant unit to Tokyo-based Orix Corp. in October. The group is aiming to raise a total of 2.5 trillion won from asset sales.
STX Engine Co. rose 6.4 percent today, while Seoul's benchmark Kospi Index was up 0.4 percent. OSV fell 0.7 percent to S$1.445 at 2:30 p.m. in Singapore.
Pan Ocean also gained after Shinyoung Securities Co. said today the company may make an operating profit next year, its first since 2010.

BOSTON -- There's so much more behind the return of Marc Savard than most people can even fathom.
The veteran forward was back on the ice for the Boston Bruins on Thursday for the first time this season after dealing with a severe case of post-concussion syndrome. His teammates rewarded him with an 8-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, and ironically, Savard, a top playmaker, did not register a point.
His name didn't appear on the score sheet, but his return gave the Bruins an emotional lift.
"I felt good," Savard said. "Obviously, there were some shifts where I was a little tired. It was great to be back. The fans were fantastic. I got a little emotional, and it was kind of tough to go out on that [first] shift. It was special."
Sure, there was a little bit of rust in Savard's game, but he played well (a total of 15 minutes, 45 seconds) for someone who hasn't played in an NHL game for six months.
It's been a long ordeal for him.
"It's been a long road, that's for sure," he said. "I owe a lot of thanks to a lot of people. Everybody has helped me out along the way, and they don't understand how much they've helped me. The fans, too. Just tonight, to top it all off, they're wonderful, and that's one of the reasons I chose to stay here. Hopefully we can reward them with a long playoff run."
Savard originally suffered a Grade 2 concussion on March 7 in Pittsburgh when he was on the receiving end of a blindside hit by the Penguins' Matt Cooke, who was not suspended for the hit.
Ever since Savard was taken off the ice completely immobilized, his quality of life and his career were in jeopardy.
Even though he battled back and was cleared to return to game action in time for the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Philadelphia Flyers this past spring, the 33-year-old didn't realize the worst was still ahead of him.
During his offseason workout over the summer, Savard was preparing for September's training camp when he began to experience symptoms and was quickly diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome. It became a complicated situation, as he also dealt with depression.
It was serious.
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli announced at the start of camp that Savard would be out indefinitely. First and foremost, the Bruins wanted to make sure Savard could regain his quality of life. If he was able to achieve that, his hockey career would come second.
Before Savard began his rehab, the Bruins held a meeting with everyone who would be involved in the process, including management, coaches, doctors, therapists and the strength and conditioning coach.
The timeline for a possible return was long and steady. During the entire process, Savard always made it a point to thank Chiarelli, Julien, the team's medical and training staffs, but more importantly, the fans.
"You have to give credit to the medical staff for doing a good job with him," coach Claude Julien said on Thursday. "The strength and conditioning coach [John Whitesides] got him going in the right direction. Our coaching staff took over and really pushed him hard. He looked like a guy who is in really good shape and good stamina. I liked his game from start to finish."
Savard began skating on his own on Oct. 19 at Ristuccia Arena, the Bruins' practice facility in Wilmington, Mass. He started with brief 20-minute twirl the first day and steadily increased the volume of work both on and off the ice.
You could see him improve both physically and mentally on a weekly basis. During the entire process, he was under constant care, and when he was finally ready to undergo the exertion and neuro-psych tests, he knew he was close to returning.
The Bruins' medial staff performed all the necessary testing and deemed him ready for contact late last month. Still, the Bruins wanted to be absolutely positive Savard was ready, so he was sent to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and underwent another battery of tests performed by sports-related concussion specialist Dr. Michael Collins.
Savard was given clearance for contact on Nov. 23.
As a prequel to Savard's imminent return, Chiarelli needed to clear cap space, so he traded defenseman Matt Hunwick to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for defensive prospect Colby Cohen on Nov. 29.
At that point, it was only a matter of time before No. 91 was back playing in games.
Savard was finally given the go-ahead Thursday morning when Julien and Chiarelli informed him that he would be in the lineup against the Lightning at the Garden.
"They gave me the green light, and obviously I didn't sleep much today," Savard said. "I tried not to walk around the room when I got here, but I felt like I was flying around the room, burning energy that I didn't want to burn. I was just so excited and I felt like a little kid again. It was great."
As tradition goes, goaltender Tim Thomas led the Bruins onto the ice for the pregame warmup, but quickly stopped to allow Savard on the ice first. He took a solo twirl around the Bruins' zone before his teammates followed. It was a classy move by the Bruins players.
"I didn't even know what he was doing there," admitted Savard. "I didn't realize, I just thought he was stepping aside and I just kept skating. I looked over and no one was there. It was nice of the guys."
Thomas came up with the plan only a few minutes prior to the warmup, and meant it more as a joke to ease Savard's obvious jitters.
"Hopefully, it helped Savvy relax a little bit," Thomas said. "You're probably nervous after a long time like that."
On his first shift back, Savard was centering rookie Tyler Seguin and Michael Ryder when the 17,565 in attendance gave No. 91 a boisterous standing ovation. During a television timeout, a welcome back message was shown on the video board as the players stood and banged their sticks against the boards on the bench.
Savard waved to the fans.
AC/DC's "Back in Black" began to play over the sound system.
"It was great having him back," said Bruins assistant captain Patrice Bergeron. "Savvy did a great job tonight. It is always great to have a guy like him coming back, especially for his health. We're just happy to have him back. He's a great player and a big addition to our team."
Savard's return was a culmination of a lot of hard work by a lot of concerned and professional people connected with the Bruins organization. He will continue to be evaluated on a daily basis because of the severity of his injury.
Savard, the Bruins and everyone involved handled the situation perfectly.
"Yeah, it was handled perfectly," Savard said. "I felt no effects tonight. Everything was great. I really enjoyed myself tonight. I had a smile on the bench and had a lot of fun. It was great."

Rule One: One entity per ride; no teams, no couples.
(from Hinterlands script for the exhibition)
OK 11 has been studied as a film location. Viewing its itinerary the authors have written a script inspired by William Gibson's novel Hinterlands. During the building of the exhibition the script is played and filmed at the gallery.
The display at OK 11 consists of elements introduced in the space either preliminary or residual to the filming.

an exhibition by Egle Oddo and Timo Tuhkanen
There is a spot between the earth and the moon, and when you play a specific sound frequency you are transported away and disappear.
When you come back you hold an unknown object in your hands. The object is somewhat familiar to known objects, but its substance and ultimate identity are unknown.
The first to travel was Saint Olga, who came back after two years holding something like a seashell; it contained a mass of unknown information advancing the exploration of space. After her many others have been leaving. The project has been going on for several decades now. A space ship has been constructed around that spot. Waiting for those who return are those that never left; they tried to go but for some reason did not make it.
Only fragments of objects reappeared, new things for us to decipher.
Rule One: One entity per ride; no teams, no couples.
Rule Two: No artificial intelligences; whatever's out there won't stop for a smart machine, at least not the kind we know how to build.
Rule Three: Recording instruments are a waste of space; they always come back blank.

Practically filming has been used as a method for the production of the space. The narrative is presented as residual of the cinematic action. The mental text, experienced in the itinerary of the exhibition forms the cinematic artifact.
Check my recent work at Mänttä Art Festival
A totem resembling a plant is built at the center of a village. The community lives by it and with it celebrates rituals of prosperity. When the plant receives the visit of two strangers, aerial people, a vibration runs through its metal body shaking off its seeds. The community gathers the seeds and makes a pact of solidarity with the strangers and with the plants.
The Word For Freedom is an installation-performance based on narrative as an art form. Its body is a vessel built to preserve and share natural plant seeds, and to enhance participation in taking care of our biological commons.
It is a large scale DIY experiment, and to realize it Egle Oddo has combined industrial materials with delicate handcraft, selected trash with fashion, precious minerals and ancestral recipes in a process- based object crafted to convey a ritual.
Each culture has established its rituals in order to understand and solve conflicts, to deal with existential changes, to establish social equity, and to wonder on universal mysteries. Rituals propose open questions and give space to the members of a community to find their own answers. The Word For Freedom pose a question about what is diversity; can it be defined as the way man and nature invent variations? As the artistic drive of nature and man? Or is it seen mostly as a menace?
Materials and process
Mostly recycled materials have been preferred, borrowing from shipyards, building sites, and old rooftops. The object is the result of assembling wood, metal, fabric, natural clay, organic glues, sea washed glass, honey, and local plant seeds. The sculpture, the installation and the performance have been created in parallel. The working method is comparable to cinema production applied to installation-performance, where the director sets the path to follow and choses a multiplicity of professional figures to accomplish singular segments of the work.

In June 2014 I was invited by curator Ahmed Al-Nawas to perform at Third Space in Helsinki, during their Sound Room VII.
While musicians Ish S diFfuSed beats, Petri Kuljuntausta and David Rothenberg were playing together, I have improvised live visuals by drawing with pencil and painting on paper size 5 mm x 5 mm, under a microscope. Playing with light, shape and proportions under its lens, I projected the images on the ceiling of the gallery.
The deep listening of the musicians playing had generated a sort of automatic process, while my hands and my vision lingered inside the intricate dynamic of the sound.

Apple unveils revolutionary iPhone
Following literally years of speculation and rumors, Apple CEO Steve Jobs today introduced the iPhone, a sleek all-in-one device combining a mobile phone, widescreen iPod, and internet communicator. The iPhone boasts a 3.5-inch widescreen display and runs a version of Apple's Mac OS X operating system with an innovative new user interface for using just a finger to control the device on-screen.
It comes in two capacities—4GB and 8GB—and includes support for quad-band GSM, EDGE, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR wireless technologies. The iPhone also sports a built-in 2 megapixel camera and will work with Macs or PCs. Apple's Jobs confirmed that the exclusive carrier for the iPhone will be Cingular.
Jobs said the phone is 11.6mm thin—thinner than any smartphone available, including the Motorola Q and Samsung BlackJack. The iPhone has built-in sensors—an accelerometer, a proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor—that serve to automatically rotate the display from portrait to landscape, and to turn off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches. Battery life is said to be 5 hours for talk time, video or browsing, and 16 hours of audio playback.
The iPhone will be available in June. The 4GB iPhone model will sell for $499, while the 8GB model will sell for $599, each with 2-year contracts. Apple said Cingular will announce service plans for the iPhone before it begins shipping in June. The iPhone will be available in Europe in late 2007, and Asia in 2008. Jobs said he was announcing it today and shipping nearly six months from now because Apple needs FCC approval. The iPhone will sell in Apple Stores and Cingular stores.
Users are able to make calls in several different ways, including simply pointing at a name or number with their finger. The iPhone syncs contacts from a PC, Mac or Internet service, and allows users to easily create conference calls. Another new feature called Visual Voicemail lets users look at a list of their voicemails, choose which messages to listen to, then go directly to those messages without having to sit through prior messages. The iPhone also includes an SMS application with a full QWERTY screen-based touch keyboard to easily send and receive SMS messages in multiple sessions.
In addition to a mobile phone, the iPhone includes a major new iPod portion. The device features touch controls for play-pause, chapter forward-backward and volume. To go along with the iPhone's widescreen display, there's now a Cover Flow view for browsing your music library by album cover artwork. (The iPhone is switched automatically to Cover Flow view by simply rotating the device into its landscape position.) Movies and TV shows are obviously also now viewable in a full widescreen view.
The iPhone runs a slimmed-down version of Mac OS X, including email, web browsing, searching and maps. A rich HTML email client fetches email in the background from most POP3 or IMAP mail services and displays photos along with the text. The iPhone comes with a mobile version of Apple's Safari web browser, allowing users to view web pages as they appear on a PC, and then zoom in to expand any section by simply tapping on iPhone's multi- touch display with their finger. The iPhone also includes Google Maps for viewing maps, satellite images, traffic information and directions. The iPhone also includes a calendar application and a photo management application, which can be automatically synced with your PC or Mac.
Several iPhone accessories will also be available in June, including a new Bluetooth wireless headset and new pair of iPod-like earbuds with integrated microphone.

Has no one said RED STEEL?!?! Shame on all of you ppl! The only reason that it's not rated "M" is because it has no blood. Not that this makes a mature game, but has constant shooting, sword fighting and cursing...I mean c'mon.
Zzz.. Don't give up.. Nintendo hasn't got to many mature games out.. But thats just what they do..
And they do have one game out right now--erm can't remember which though..
wiichat.com mod wannabe!
Oh, and i eat nintendo wiis, what exactly is your definition of a "mature" game? If you're talking about shooting, cussing, and blood, then you're just a stereotpe gamer. What I mean is that you write anything off that doesn't have blood or tons of violence, then it's embarrasing to play in front of "cool" kids.
Legend of Zelda doesn't have tons of violence, guns, cussing (or any talking for that matter) or blood, yet it is definitely not a "kiddie game". The same goes w/ Mario games, Metroid Prime games, etc.
You need to explain what you mean before you say something...

Mario is a bit childish.
If you see a man around 33 playing Mario on his big hdtv, it is childish.
Most ppl think it's weird for a 33 yr old to be playing anything except rated "M" games and everything that comes w/ it.

The Case For Enhancing People
Just as Dante found it easier to conjure the pains of Hell than to evoke the joys of Heaven, so too do bioethicists find it easier to concoct the possible perils of a biotech-nanotech-infotech future than to appreciate how enhancements will contribute to flourishing lives. One of the chief goals of this symposium is to think about the indispensable role that virtue plays in human life. The chief motivating concern seems to be the fear that biotechnologies and other human enhancement technologies will somehow undermine human virtue. As we will see, far from undermining virtue, biotech, nanotech, and infotech enhancements will tend to support virtue; that is, they will help enable people to be actually good.

Gary Allan on new songs, vocal surgery
When I talked to Gary Allan earlier this week, we covered more ground than was able to fit in the full feature that appears here on Tap Milwaukee. Here is more of the conversation we shared as he waited to make a Monday night appearance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." (Click here to watch his spot on the show.)
As Allan prepares to visit The Rave tonight, he discussed why he thought "Tough Goodbye," the lead song (co-written by Cedarburg native Josh Thompson) from his Billboard chart-topping new album, "Set You Free," would be the first single. He also talked about how a vocal cord operation that he underwent just before recording the album has made him feel like a whole new singer, and his approach to Nashville after spending his early years (starting at 12 years old) playing honky tonks and clubs in California's Bakersfield-inspired country music scene. »Read Full Blog Post

Obviously these losers didn't get any business from the myriad of new products coming up like phones, tablets and things like that. LOSERS
The company is a disaster as reflected by the ever declining stock price. Probably Chang and his cronies are cashing in the chips. What a shame. As usual, I'm holding the bag.
The end is near which explains this continuous downhill. WS knows it and they are going for the kill. TSM, RIP

When I see Robert DeNiro in a movie these days I can hardly believe it's the same guy I saw in Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. That's sort of how it was watching Alfonso Soriano go through the motions of his injury rehab assignment in Des Moines today. As if there's any rehabbing this guy.

Elissa Freeman and I first met on Twitter, of course, but she happened to be in Chicago a couple of years ago and we met for coffee.
Of course, we became fast friends and get together whenever possible; the last was in July in Toronto at SocialMix.
When I searched the blog to see when was the last time I featured her here, I quickly discovered we shared a #FollowFriday, where she detailed her five brain crushes and I did mine.
She's also guest blogged for us a few times, but she has never had her very own feature.
So here we go.
She is, first and foremost (at least career-wise) a communications professional. When I met her, she was hiring the team at Toronto 2015 Pan/Parapan Games at the vice president of communications on the organizing committee.
But she recently went out on her own (yay for more female business owners) and also is the vice president of communications at Eatzclub, a restaurant loyalty company up there in ol' Canada.
While a foodie, she's very much like me in the way she takes care of herself. Every time we're together, we show off the healthy snacks we carry for ourselves so we aren't tempted by all the gross food available out there.
Although, I must admit, she's better at it than I am – I'll grab a handful of almonds to throw in my bag, but I don't measure them (except by eye) and I don't care if they're salted. She's very conscientious about measuring them exactly and buying the most healthful kind. She even has cute little containers to carry her snacks.
And she's phenomenal about keeping up her exercise, even on the road. I know this because she told me a great story of being in Vegas in the hotel's gym and running into an NBA player who was also working out.
She is one of the most prolific writers I know, contributing all over the place, including here, Project You, O Canada, and Executive Moms.
She has a daughter and a husband and she'll make you feel inadequate because she's pretty darn perfect.
But don't let that stop you from following her, introducing yourself, and getting to know her. Although she's pretty darn perfect, she's a good friend who is caring, sensitive, giving, and warm.
You can find her on Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+,and hanging out here in the comments a few times a week.

Greetings and salutations.
@KenMueller Bonjour
Happy Friday Elissa!
I've enjoyed my conversation with Elise in the comments here. Definitely need to get to know her better. 🙂
Cheers to you, Elise!

Hurray, it's Elissa! Good feature on this gloomy Friday!
@Soulati | B2B Social Media Marketing Glad to have helped brighten it up! Of course, I think I met YOU via Spin Sucks…another great reason to read this blog…!
Great. Another *perfect* person. I'm not worthy. 😉
@belllindsay Awww, Lindsay…I'll share my almonds with you….
@ElissaFreeman HAHAHAHA!! Amazing. 🙂
So lovely to meet you, Elissa. I love how you spell your name. And I love that you work hard at taking care of yourself . Way to inspire the rest of us!
If anyone on this earth can celebrate diversity in writing, it's @ElissaFreeman – I have admired her intelligence and wit for a long time and always learn something new from her posts. She is also a tremendous supporter of sharing other people's work, and always has interesting and thoughtful opinions. I respect you a ton Elissa!
@John_Trader1 "Blowing kisses your way"…
@ElissaFreeman Accepting them gladly. My next trip to Canada involves a stop to see you and possibly, a hockey game together. 🙂
Wow! What a great intro. @ElissaFreeman I am so glad to meet you. Now following you on Twitter and looking forward to reading your updates. 🙂
She sounds delightful and might just inspire me to try harder at writing. One can always try harder!
Hello Elissa – So happy to meet you! I totally want to know what food containers you use lol Sounds like we have a bit in common (minus the kids!) as I am a healthy eater and blogger too. I'm not as strict in the working out department but I'm working on it. I look forward to following you and reading your blog(s). Happy #FF! – Kate
@kateupdates Thanks Katy! I use those super mini round Glad containers fyi…
Oh great. Now I have 8 million more things to read.
But seriously, that is a problem I like to have. Good to meet you Elissa!
Better late than never!!! I made it before the clock struck 4pm CST. Now that I'm here, you're right Gini, I feel rather inadequate. Justttttt kidding, because I can't begrudge the greatness in others and I look forward to mingling with the "already sweet enough" Elissa 🙂
Hey @ElissaFreeman how's it going? Another Torontonian! Awesome. So glad to meet you even if it's through a keyboard and over the airwaves all the way to Chi-town. Looks like you are doing some awesome things up here. Cheers!
Sorry to be late to the party… but it's great to meet you Elissa! NBA player, Vegas, hotel… sounds like the beginning of a network crime drama. Details?
@barrettrossie sorry, I promised Lebron that my lips are sealed! All to say, he does more abs than I thought humanly possible….
[…] So proud and humbled of this post by Gini Dietrich. Read full story […]
good post. Thank you. I really enjoy for this post. Thanks again for share

Digital Detox: Take A Break From Technology. Can You Live Without Facebook For A Day?
What with all the social media networks we try to keep up with on a daily basis for work and for pleasure, it is no wonder your mind goes into overload. In fact, according to CNN, Americans spend at least eight hours a day staring at a screen. And more than one-third of smartphone users get online before they get out of bed.
Some experts say everyone should take a tech vacation from time to time for several reasons — to reconnect with family and friends, to stop missing special moments of real life, to relieve the stress of trying to maintain your various social media accounts and even to do physical activities such as exercising.
Toi Barnhardt unplugs on her own regularly —and she's in the tech industry. "Unplugging is basically me taking control over what I like to call 'social media saturation.' Almost every facet of one's life has some aspect of social media or social networking intertwined in it. It has us constantly checking for the latest deal, or the latest status update every hour almost. It allows us to falsely feel connected to people, places, and things when in fact we aren't physically," says Barnhardt, who is the associate publisher of the Women of Color in Technology STEM Conference. "By unplugging, it forces me to connect with people the traditional or dare I now say the old fashioned way! The main reason however that I unplug is when I feel that the constant social media interacting is making me unproductive i.e. work, home, and even (I'll admit) while driving."
Recently Barnhardt disconnected for an entire month; she typically does this for shorter periods. She took time off from social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but did check her business email and the professional network LinkedIn. "It became a self-challenge because I did not think I'd last the entire month of November," she admits. And she didn't feel she missed any business opportunities since she was still reachable via phone and email.
The process of unplugging is easy. Temporarily deactivate your Facebook and Twitter accounts. "Turn off email notifications, remove the Facebook app from your phone, take the website out of your bookmarks and generally cleanse your online existence of all unwanted reminders of Facebook," reports The Los Angeles Times. You can deactivate your Facebook account, and Facebook will save all of your wall posts, photos, messages and other personal information. If you want to keep a copy of your information, there is a download option under account settings. Unlike Facebook when you deactivate your Twitter account, it is permanent, writes the Times. You have 30 days to change your mind. Turning off email notifications is temporary.
Barnhart isn't alone in her quest to disconnect from her virtual life. There's even a National Day of Unplugging that encourages people to not go online for 24 hours. The day was launched three years ago by a Jewish organization called Reboot, inspired by Judaism's Sabbath tradition for which people unplug for 24 hours starting each Saturday. It takes place next year from sundown Friday, March 1, 2013 to sundown, Saturday, March 2, 2013. Observers of the day are supposed to turn off their cell phones and skip the internet for the day.
Such a day might be necessary as a survey found that 66 percent of people claim they are addicted to the Internet. The Unplugging Day is supposed to be used to "re-connect with family, friends and oneself, away from technology," reports Mashable.
Could you power down for a day?

Awesome piece. I felt myself getting a hand cramp one day from scrolling so much on my phone. Lol. That was a sign to get off the phone. Social media to be exact. Not being logged him helps me focus more. I will try this more often and not just for Lent. Good Job TB
- La-Di-Da
Well I deactivated my Facebook last winter and I reactivated after 7 months or so. Mainly because I wanted to see pics of my childhood friend's baby and we had lost touch n I didn't have her new number. I only go on once a week or less now, and I never joined Twitter. I even took a break from this website lol, I hadn't commented or visited in a while. I hope people realize its not that hard to chill from social networking.

Floyd White is a very busy man these days.
In addition to being among the leading tacklers on the Eastern New Mexico football team, he's also a top scholar and one of the leading participants in HOSTS (Help One Student to Succeed).
In honor of his outstanding athletic and academic achievements and his commitment to teaching the community's youths, Burger King Corporation has donated a $10,000 scholarship to the ENMU general scholarship fund in his name.
White was given the award before Eastern's homecoming game against Abilene Christian last month.
White, a senior outside linebacker from Pampa, is a three-year starter and a an all-Lone Star Conference performer for the 4-2 Greyhounds, who were ranked No. 7 in the NCAA Division II poll earlier this season.
In Eastern's 20-14 win against Northeastern Oklahoma State last month, White made 12 tackles. For his effort he was named LSC South Division defensive player of the week.
Not only does White spend many grueling hours on the football field and in the film room, he manages to maintain a 3.611 grade-point average, majoring in biology. He's taking 16 hours this semester.
"He's a young man that has had a high academic average since he got here," said Eastern head coach Bud Elliott. "He's been serious about his school and studies since he got out of high school. He was recruited by Texas Tech and several other Division I schools, but we stayed with him until we pulled him out."
The 6-foot-1, 230-pound White is a fierce competitor with the ability to range from sideline to sideline to make tackles. But in the classroom at Portales Junior High he's a gentle giant to admiring children. He and some of his teammates make at least one visit a week. They will help them with their studies or sometimes just let the students read to them. Their presence alone is a big boost to the students.
"Coach (Mike) Howard ... our offensive coordinator's wife, Beverly, is in charge of the HOST program here," explained White. "During my sophomore year during two-a-days she invited us to get in the program. I thought it would be something fun to do. The kids are real nice and they look forward to us coming up every week. It's a shame they haven't been getting a lot of help before."
Developed to foster the pursuit of athletic and academic excellence while encouraging social awareness and community service, HOST is one of the largest corporate commitments of its kind in college football. In its fifth year, the program has donated $4.3 million in college scholarship funds to 211 colleges and universities.
White said his busy schedule gets quite hectic.
"It's tough sometime. Usually when I get an hour or hour-and-a-half break I try to go the school then. Doing that, practice, watching films and going to class usually takes all my time," White said.
Elliot says White is an example of what a Greyhound student-athlete is supposed to be about. "We've got two goals and we don't beat around the bush and we talk about it almost daily - win and graduate," said Elliott. "We've got a saying: If it's to be, it's up to me. We want our players to take ownership of the program. That what Floyd does."

These wide and powerful rapids on the Congo River at the outskirts of the city are where the Congo River gets nasty. Take a minibus to Pont Djoué from next to Centre Culturel Français...
This modernist 1949 building was the crowning achievement of French architect Roger Erell, who was known for fusing Western architectural ideas with local building techniques.
The body of Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, who founded the city, was returned to Congo in 2006 and interred in this gleaming memorial. Opening hours are a little flexible!
Brazza's biggest market, in Bacongo, sells everything from technological wonders to caterpillars and monkeys to Congolese fabrics and aphrodisiac charms.
Perhaps the best place to pick up a souvenir is from this association of painters; many of its members have exhibited in Europe and the USA.
Sift through all the schlock here and you'll find some decent weavings and woodcarvings.
