Skip to comments.Was Florida shooter a vigilante or diligent neighbor?
Posted on 03/22/2012 5:48:28 AM PDT by libstripper
George Zimmerman once took criminal justice classes at the community college and was practically a one-man neighborhood watch in his gated part of town, calling police close to 50 times over the past eight years to report such things as slow-driving vehicles, strangers loitering in the neighborhood and open garages.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
Actually... No. It's not. It's a lot more probable than the Neighborhood Watch was out gunning for people after the last couple years worth of good service and actually preventing a couple of crimes.
Keep spouting the MSM/Al Sharpton drivel though.
Yep. Martin had Zimmerman well grounded. Ok, on the ground and beating the tar out of him...
What was Martin suspended from school from? Anger issues and fighting? Looks like he picked the wrong person to fight...
Anyone who gets into this "probability" stuff is ignoring Zimmerman's own words.
Sorry DC, the words aren't going away. Time for you to come out of hiding. Your written statement to the cops is simply not supported by your own words!
Confrontation is legal. Martins right to swing his fist ended at Zimmermans nose.
Thank you. Too many people cannot distinquish between the law and all their "could haves" and "should haves."
I personally think he ABSOLUTELY "should have" followed and confronted strangers in his neighborhood given the recent break-ins. The poster you address thinks he "should have" avoided doing so.
However, it matters not what either of us (or the 911 operator) think or say. Our particular feelings, philosophies and sentimentalities don't matter for s**. What matters is the LAW.
Zimmerman had every LEGAL right to follow the "kid" and ask him whatever he pleased. The "kid" had no LEGAL right whatsoever to physically attack Zimmerman. Once he did, Zimmerman had every LEGAL right to defend himself.
This is why Zimmerman hasn't been charged with a crime.
That's when he got out of his truck to go find Zimmerman.
If Zimmerman bit off more than he could chew, somebody else is going to really enjoy having him in the same cell. Lots of somebodys in fact.
It is important to the "thug" community that Neighborhood Watch programs be shut down because they deter criminal behavior.
Maybe you should join Al Sharpton and the Million Hoodlum March. They seem to be well over 999,000 hoodlums short, so I'm sure they'd welcome hoodlum sympathizers.
Getting out of the truck armed, was a bad idea.
However at some point after that, the tables seem to have been turned on Zimmerman. The saying goes: if you go looking for trouble, you'll probably find it.
Thing is, once he found trouble - did it become self defense when he then started losing the altercation?
There seem to be two critical details none of us know yet:
1) Did Zimmerman threaten Martin?
2) Did Zimmerman initiate any sort of physical contact?
If Zimmerman was merely 'confronting' Martin as to why he was there and what he was doing, that's probably within his rights, and something he'd been doing in that neighborhood for nearly a decade.
If Martin then chased Zimmerman down and started exacting retribution for what he saw as an affront - at that time the situation changed dramatically.
If Zimmerman, prior to the fight, had not threatened or come in contact with Martin in any way, then he was it would seem in a legitimate self-defense.
Don't know about you, but I've seen enough urban gang behavior second-hand, to know sometimes a thug will just go completely phycho at a slight provocation.
I'm inclined to believe at this point, there was some of that at work.
Zimmerman opened a can of worms, and tried to get away from it.
He couldn't. And then defended himself. Perhaps.
So, what's your problem with understanding and obeying the law?
Is this an election year? Is the Holder Justice Department involved yet? Will a bear....?
Since no one has seen the official police report, you and Kreskin must be taking long hot showers together...
What "hunting"? Yes he was following him to keep an eye on him, but not even the left-wing lunatics are claiming he simply "hunted him down".
Explain to me why in Zimmerman 44 previous calls to the police, while performing his "community watch" there was never a prior physical confrontation. Do "vigilantes" typically call the cops are handle things on their own?
Also, if I was ever going to hunt a man down and shoot him to death, I don't think I'd call 911 beforehand to give the police a heads up.
The shooting may or may not be justified (I am leaning towards yes, but I want to hear more evidence), but your characterization of what happened is pure fantasy, and refuted by the fact.
European countries?
I found an address in the transcript of the 911 call - 111 Retreat View Circle.
This led me to a place called 'The Retreat at Twin Lakes'.
Its east gate is closed; and, I can see a blue neighborhood watch sign. The north gate is open, but there is the neighborhood watch sign. Alot of gated communities don't have guards...and they leave the primary entrance gates open during the daylight hours. So this all looks fairly normal.
The community is surrounded by a low brick wall.
What I am having a hard time finding is the gas station...Martin's mother said he was walking back from the gas station, where he bought the Skittles and iced tea.
The closest one I can find is around a half mile to the north, on the other side of the interstate.
I don't think Martin lived there...a story yesterday stated that he went to Krop High School (but was suspended) in Miami (and Sanford is near Orlando). I have no idea if he had other family in Sanford, or why he was there.
I have not been able to find anything indicating why he was in Sanford...in an interview, his father stated 'he was walking home'...which might mean that his father lived in Sanford.
But the one thing I have not found...and I think would be printed everywhere if true, is any indication that a family member lived in the gated community. To me, that's important. I'm not sure of the posting laws, or what the blue signs say; but, Martin may have been trespassing.
And, as horrible as this situation is, I don't want the outcome to be some notion that we cannot confront trespassers, without waiting for the police to arrive.
I assume Zimmerman will eventually get arrested for something...and many of the unanswered questions will be answered in court.
Yesterday I was ready to convict Zimmermann. But, when I heard that Martins father said the voice yelling for help on the 911 call was not his son, I changed my mind. It must have been Zimmermann who was in trouble. Those pictures of Martin do not show how big he is now. I havent heard how close to Zimmermanns truck that Martins body was found. If Zimmermann was going back to his truck like he said, Martin must have followed him. I just wonder where his body was found.
This particular article indicates he did not. He was "visiting" his father's "fiance" during his "5 day suspension from school".
None. Zimmerman followed the law. If he hadn't, the police would have charged him.
Or are you anti-cop now too?
So, here's Martin inside a courtyard and Zimmerman has his truck parked on the street in front of the courtyard (kind of like he's blocking easy exit).
Even if Zimmerman couldn't find his quarry, he trapped him.
The cops are on their way before he shoots Martin.
I'm going to guess that Martin was disoriented from being chased around the development (where apparently he was visiting with his father) ~ we still need a good address on his father's girlfriend though ~ and at the same time the locals are being somewhat cagey and won't tell anybody what Zimmerman's address really is ~ like maybe he doesn't really live there.
The civil case against Zimmerman and the homeowner's association is going to show where Zimmerman's truck is blocking the courtyard .........
Go to the video I linked. The reporter says the police have a corroborating witness for Mr. Zimmerman on the vital point that Zimmerman broke off the confrontation and was heading back to his truck when Martin jumped him and started beating him. Not necessarily tetimony sworn in court, but pretty much the next best thing. Also, if the cops don't identify that witness it will be hard for Zimmerman to hunt him or her down. Indeed, your characterization of Zimmerman as "armed and dangerous" appears highly prejudicial since Zimmerman hasn't even been charged with a crime and, from the presently available information, it appears that, if there was any crime at all, it was Martin's violent assault on Zimmerman.
More editorializing. Zimmerman was doing what he was supposed to do as Neighborhood Watch. It wasn't until Martin attacked him that things went bad.
Again, you appear to WANT Zimmerman to be a bad guy. You WANT him crucified even though you do not have ALL of the information that the local police had. They declined to charge him with anything.
But no... The Great and Mighty muawiyah has spoken and the Hispanic guy is BAD.
You have issues you need to resolve.
So why do you want to deny Martin his rights? The "stand your ground" law says he was entitled to defend himself and had no need to retreat ~ yet, in fact, he had retreated. He'd done everything he could to escape an individual who gave every indication of wanting to harm him.
It's night. There's a cold rain. He's in a strange place ~ just a visitor. He walked over to the 7-11 to buy candy, and still had it on him as he returned to his father's girlfriend's place. He's unarmed.
Zimmerman is roaming around in a pickup in that gloom of night, packing heat, and looking for people he thinks are suspicious looking.
Martin was after skittles. Zimmerman was on the scent of man.
I really think I understand what's going on here and you don't.
My neighborhood watch would have brought charges against Zimmerman in fact. The whole point is to "watch", not "act" and this dude was hunting.
The cops didn't take his gun. He presumably still has it.
So, yes, armed and dangerous.
The Sanford PD disagrees. Take it up with them.
Excellent post.
Well stated.
Same for your claim that Martin was justified in beating Zimmerman under "stand your ground". He wasn't. "Stand your ground" means you have a legal right to be somewhere and that you are under direct threat. Once Zimmerman was walking away from him, as at least one witness reportedly stated, Martin had no right to jump him.
You lose again.
Neighborhood Watch has rules ~ the point is to "watch".
More like "F-word POS" ~ bringing things up to date. However, my local informants tell me the "Coon" expression is commonly used by Hispanics in this area.
The only thing worse than the misery pimps who are using this for political purposes is the spectacle of those who, in attempting to oppose the misery pimps, end up claiming that Zimmerman did nothing at all wrong and invent secondary and tertiary hypotheses to explain away his lack of common sense, restraint, and ignoring both police and Neighborhood Watch guidelines, all of which resulted in the death of someone the police say had been doing nothing wrong.
Martin had no reason to believe this guy was going to go away.
Remember, Zimmerman never once told Martin why he was there ~
Cold rain, dark of night, strange Hispanic man following him closely in a pickup truck ~ ............. I think Martin had every reason to be fearful.
A reasonable man would think he was being set up for a robbery.
Anyone find Martin's cellphone yet? Last time anyone had anything about the cellphone is that the police property report for Martin did not report a cellphone. It did report the Skittles!
One stranger following another, could be "starting trouble".
Other important questions would be...
Was Zimmerman's vehicle marked in any way, lights, door sticker etc... .
Was Zimmerman wearing any kind of jacket that said 'security' or 'neighborhood watch' etc. Since Zimmerman was clearly dedicated to the cause I'd be surprised if he didn't 'look' the part when 'on duty'.
Martin's father has since changed his mind. He now says it's his son's voice.
You've done a wonderful job of convicting Zimmerman while assiduously ignoring the most important piece of evidence: Zimmerman, corrorborated by at least one witness, has stated that he boke off his attempted pursuit of Martin and was returning to his truck when Martin jumped him. Even under a "stand your ground" law an assailant is not justified in attacking his adversary once the adversary has broken off the confrontation. At that point the onus is on the assailant, which Martin appears to have been. That, along with Martin's brutal assault on him, gave Zimmerman the right to use lethal defensive force.
Or was he standing off a bit ~ no longer in contact with Martin ~ and then he shot him straight through the heart?
The "witness" who claims to have seen everything refused to show his face to the reporters ~ wonder how he'd do in court ~ he has to explain that part ~ so, George, time to give yourself up. No good skulking around there in hiding. People want to talk to you.
My, my a changed story by somebody who stands to benefit massively from the changed story. Really credible.
That'd be a big no-no in your analysis regarding Martin's responsibilities. Then, too the law clearly differentiates between lethal force and less than lethal force.
If Zimmerman wasn't beaten to a pulp, and he'd drawn on Martin, he still didn't have a right to shoot him.
Besides, Zimmerman had Martin TRAPPED in a courtyard. That's at least Kidnapping!
Looks like this leftist bunch has finally given up on "Save Mumia", the twenty-year fervered celebrity drive to absolve and free a murderer who, unfortunately for them (and him), is still doing life without the possibility of parole.
Michael Moore is one of those leading the charge in the Florida case. I see another of his propaganda documentaries in the making....these types of causes celebre are how he makes his slimy living.
His dad's girlfriend lived there with his dad
That demonstrates that he was EVASIVE, and once you demonstrate that every little particle goes under intense scrutiny.
This guy is toast.
"There are legitimate reasons for people to go about armed. I support this. But whnever somebody abuses that right,"
Sorry, "words mean things". You said "legitimate reasons". You are incorrect. Zimmerman has the Constitutional right and the laws of the state of Florida, allowing him to go about armed for no reason at all. He didn't need a "legitimate reason".
His dad's girlfriend was the homeowner, his dad lived there with the girlfriend, the kid had a right to be there, whether or not Zimmerman liked it
you are right
As witnessed, a guy walking away from you is no threat.
Also as witnessed, a guy sitting on your chest beating you IS a threat.
You lose again.
Assumes facts not in evidence.
A fact you can't seem to wrap your tiny little mind around.
Not according to the Police. If there was not enough evidence Martin returned from hiding to attack Zimmerman, Zimmerman would have been arrested.
Clearly the police know Zimmerman. He's alerted them an average of 5 times per year since 2004. If that history had been problematic, Zimmerman would now be under arrest.

Unsharp Mask is a sharpening filter with a bit of an odd name, but with a lot of flexibility and utility. The name actually comes from a technique used in the wet darkroom where a slightly out of focus transparency was sandwiched with the original transparency to enhance sharpness in the print. In this lesson, we'll take a look at how you can use the Unsharp Mask filter to apply sharpening to your image. In this case, I've already prepared the image for its final output so I'm ready to apply sharpening.
I'll go ahead and choose Filter > Sharpen, and then Unsharp Mask from the menu in order to bring up the Unsharp Mask dialog. Notice that the preview in the Unsharp Mask dialog is set to 100% by default, which is perfect for evaluating the effect of sharpening. I've also resized my image to fit the available space, so that I can simply click in the image if I want to change which area of the image I'm evaluating while applying sharpening. Let's get atarted. You can see that I have an Amount slider, a Radius slider, and a Threshold slider.
Amount determines the intensity of the halos that we're adding along contrast edges in the image, the Radius adjustment allows us to determine the size of those sharpening halos. And Threshold allows us to mitigate sharpening in areas of relatively smooth texture. Quite often, I'll get started with Unsharp Mask by reducing the threshold value to its minimum of zero so that all areas of the image will receive sharpening, and increase the amount to its maximum value of 500%. This'll produce an exaggerated effect that helps me better evaluate the radius size.
For images with relatively high detail, I'll want to use a relatively low radius, generally around 1.0 pixels or below. For images where the detail is relatively subtle, where those transitions occur across a larger number of pixels, then I might need to use a larger radius setting. But even in those cases, I'll rarely go beyond about two or three pixels. Keep in mind also that these settings are relative to the size or resolution of the actual image. In other words, the more pixels there are, the more pixels we might need for that radius in order to be able to see the effect of sharpening. That means the guidelines for amount and radius are really just rules of thumb to help you get started.
You'll need to evaluate the image itself in order to determine the very best result. In this case, I have a relatively high degree of fine detail, and so I'll want a relatively low radius setting. I'll go ahead and reduce the value, paying attention to the size of the halos in my preview image. In any time, I can click on the Preview to see the original unsharpened image and I can release the mouse then to see the preview of the sharpening effect. In this case, I want the radius to be fairly small so I'll go reduce down below one.
And right about there looks to be a pretty good effect, somewhere around 0.8 or 0.9 seems to be a good effect overall for the image. Of course, with my amount up at 500%, I'm still applying much too aggressive a sharpening effect. So now, I'll go ahead and reduce that amount, again, paying attention to that preview image, trying to produce the very best result. I want a nice, crisp image without an over sharpening affect. I'll click on the Preview image again, to see the before. And you can see that I'm producing a rather strong sharpening effect, in fact, a little too strong.
I'll go ahead and reduce my amount a little bit more, and that looks to be much better. Now, in the process of applying this sharpening, I'm also effectively sharpening that background area. It's a relatively smooth texture. If I click on my Preview though, you'll see that it was smoother before I applied sharpening. I can prevent smooth areas from getting any sharpening effect through the use of Threshold control. In this case, of course, the effect is rather subtle so I'm going to exaggerate my sharpening effect just so that you can better see the sharpening in that background.
This will make it easier to see exactly what's going on with threshold. Now, keep in mind that sharpening is enhancing contrast, where contrast already exists. We can define contrast as the number of tonal values difference between two adjoining pixels. The higher the contrast, the bigger the difference between those pixels. The Threshold control allows us to specify that a higher degree of contrast must exist before sharpening is applied. So, for example, if I increase the Threshold value, you'll see that the background area, retains its smoothness.
However, the bird which contains at high degree of fine detail is still receiving a strong amount of sharpening. Now, I don't want to use too much threshold, generally speaking, only about 4 to 8 levels will be necessary in order to retain smooth texture in areas of the image. So, I'll use the minimum amount need in order to create that effect in order to preserve smooth textures in areas where it's important. Now, in this case, with an exaggerated effect, I need to go a little bit higher than I otherwise would, but I think you get the idea here.
I want to use the minimum threshold value needed in order to produce the desired result. In this case, of course, I have exaggerating sharpening applied. So, while I've set the threshold to a desirable value, I do need to go back and fine tune my overall sharpening effect. And there we have it, a good effect that's sharpening the overall image, the most important areas of the image, without applying sharpening to that smooth background area. The Unsharp Mask feature is certainly not the most sophisticated sharpening filter, but it does over a great solution for basic sharpening of your photos.
In particular, the Rhreshold setting makes Unchart Mask valuable for a wide variety of images.

Moved, healed and MOTIVATED
I never met Betty Hain, a woman who died a few weeks ago, but during a Tuesday morning class at the Mercy Hilltop Center, I felt her presence.
Flo Voelker, 77, and Jane Kirk, 75, paid tribute to Hain, a former class member in the Bodyparts Healing Dance at the center. They used movement, not words, to remember their friend. Class director Christine Claire Reed, 44, started the class for elders two years ago, but she is careful about calling it dance.
"There are no routines, and it's all about moving," Reed said. "When you say dance to some people, they just groan and don't want to do it because they say, 'I'm embarrassed to dance.'"
So what is healing dance? Hain described it best, and Reed quoted her in a personal blog on the Girl on Fire Movement Studio Web page. Reed wrote that Hain, a nun for the first 25 years of her life, had said, "Thank you for doing this, Chris. (Hain is the only one Reed ever allowed to call her Chris rather than Christine). You don't know how special this work is. ... You gave me my life. I lived only in my head; I had no idea I had a body. I had no idea that I could pray through this body."
On this Tuesday morning, Voelker, Kirk and Reed moved to music that Hain liked: "Mating Game" by Bitter Sweet was a warmup. Then, Reed announced the tribute dance to Hain was a mirror dance to the tune of "Unobstructed Views," by Death Cab for Cutie, (I've never heard of any of this music or these groups, by the way, but they were awesome -- relaxing and uplifting all at the same time.)
During the six-minute dance, Voelker and Kirk brought me to tears with the most impromptu spiritual performance I have ever seen. They stood across from each other, mirroring each other's movements -- no mirror in sight. "No one is watching," Reed said. "Just let it all out."
And they did. The blend of alignment, slow movements and free dance was filled with emotion.
Over the years, the classes have succeeded in making women feel better and healthier. Voelker, the mother of six, said she never danced much but was always active with her kids. "This is just an opportunity to express deep emotions in movement," she said.
Kirk agreed. She walks, swims and plays golf, but the class offers something more. "It's creative movement, and it has a lot of health benefits," she said. The women, both widows, have another connection as well. They are graduates of Villa Maria Academy -- Voelker in 1953 and Kirk in 1955.
If you have seen contemporary dance on "Dancing with the Stars," you know the emotion that dancers impart in their free movements. It was all there during Voelker and Kirk's morning dances, and Reed directed. "Feel your arms, breathe, open your chest," Reed advised.
Reed said that imagery often helps people relax and move. Reed tells women to dance like there is a balloon attached to their heads and to just let go.
Girl on Fire Movement Studio, owned by Reed, is home to many movement classes. "We have something for all sizes and shapes. We have people from age 30 into their 80s in our movement classes," Reed said.
As a teacher, Reed said she has learned a lot from elders. "We often stop bending and squatting as we age," she said. That results in stiffness, so Reed works a lot of stretching into class to gradually get participants to bend and squat -- something Kirk and Voelker attest to. "We weren't this limber when we started," Kirk said.
Reed added that elders may shuffle into a morning class but walk out with improved posture and attitude. She noted that fitness is about finding strength, balance and grace regardless of age or physical shortcomings. "We all slow down as we get older, but we can improve and change our bodies, our attitudes and more," Reed said. "It's calming and empowering -- at any age.
"It's healing, and music is the medium," Reed said. "I tell everyone that no one is watching. It's your own expression."

August Wilson's 'Seven Guitars' strikes a chord in Chicago
Chicago — When I look back toward journey's end on the thousands of plays I've seen, I've no doubt that among those I'll most cherish are the 10-play century cycle of August Wilson plays being directed by Ron OJ Parson, one miraculous installment at a time, for Court Theatre in Chicago.
"Seven Guitars," the fifth Wilson cycle play that Parson has directed at the Court — beginning with a stupendous "Fences" (2006) and continuing through "The Piano Lesson" (2009), "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" (2009) and "Jitney" (2012) — opened over the weekend in the Court's Hyde Park home.

Action Council counters charges against Vizhinjam project
By Express News Service - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
Published: 04th November 2013 12:52 PM
Last Updated: 04th November 2013 01:31 PM
The Vizhinjam Mother Port Action Council (V-mac) recently submitted evidence before the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and the Environmental Impact Assessment Committee, countering the allegations against the port project.
V-mac secretary Wilfred Kulas said that a memorandum in this regard was submitted to Committee chairman Anil Razdan and member-secretary Lalith Kapur.
V-mac representatives said that those campaigning against the project had alleged that 125 lakh tonnes of sand would wash into the Vizhinjam site during the monsoon season, making it unviable for the project.
Another allegation was that the port activities would come to a standstill for around six months during which wind speed in the area would be 17 metres per second.
V-mac representatives submitted evidence to the Committee that the maximum wind speed in Thiruvananthapuram was around 4 metres per second.
They also said the allegation that the ships arriving in the port would damage the wadge bank, a 3,000 sq km fish breeding area, was baseless. V-mac representatives said that around two lakh vessels sailed over the wadge bank every year even when the port has not been constructed.
This fact was endorsed by Navy officials.
Theizhinjam Mother Port Action Council told the Committee that the baseless allegations against the project were raised by the owners of illegal resorts in Vizhinjam.
V-mac also submitted a copy of the Coastal Zone Management Authority report which had found that 29 of the 31 resorts in the area were functioning in violation of the Coastal Regulation Zone norms.
Thiruvananthapuram Development Forum president Ramkumar Rajan and V-mac president Elias John attended the consultations with the MoEF officials and the Committee members.

Let Us Wage Peace
If we see our interests and needs as more important than the interests and needs of others, then we'll never have peace in our personal lives or in our world. Peace requires a recognition that we're all equally beloved children of the same loving God.
It involves recognizing that we all matter equally — and then doing some introspection to see if we're living up to it in our various relationships.

Well guys I'm done blogging and stuff on my 1up page, if you came often you would know I stopped like 6 months ago, I started this page June 2007 and finished it in December 2007, after that time I posted blogs from time to time and now I see that my page doesnt look good anymore because of the new 1up, so I quit now, I might just post pictures from Halo 3 but that might just be it, if your knew to this page you got alot of stuff to look at, I may be leaving but the page wont and plus now you have enough time to look at all my blogs, pages, and the long greeting. 1up was a good tool for me to make my halo page before but now it changed and 1up doesnt look good as before, so have fun seeing the rest of the page, may I remind you that their is so much to see that you might come often. Bye
p.s. does anyone know a website that is worth getting on because myspace is boring now, I cant find any good videos on youtube (may vary), and meez.com which is a chatting website went from being a "chatting website without making your computer slow" to a "chatting website that makes your computer slow because of the 3D shit."

"Free Chocha For Everybody!" Crows New Miss LEZ Winner
And even a gay man could appreciate the wonderful message.
This was at last night's Miss LEZ pageant, organized and hosted by Murray Hill, the big-shticked hoofer who puts the "king" back in "fucking" and who "makes meat loaf look like Salisbury steak."
The annual event -- which I judged, as usual -- turned the Knitting Factory upside down with shimmying body parts, oozing fluids, and kooky, inclusive talent.
It turns out these LEZ-zies are even more outrageous than their drag-queen counterparts.
Upcoming Events
First runner-up was "Miss Choice Cunts," Rebecca Macabre, who advocated "period sex," threw used tampons at the crowd, and when asked why she only gets horny once a month, replied, "It's five days!"
She was a tough one to beat -- or clean up after -- but out came "Miss Wild Card," Sophia Urista (above).
She was doing her Chocha Libre Mexican wrestler character, bumping her wildly hairy crotch at the crowd and chanting "Chocha libre! Chocha libre!" before freeing her vocal pipes for a hard strutting "Proud Mary."
She's the new Miss LEZ.
But all the gals were fab, including Brown Meshugena (who's half-black, half-Jewish, and all woman), sexy librarian type Bambi Galore, bow-tie-wearing candidate Lea Robinson, and vampy skater/stripper Mary Wanna.
I haven't seen so much poon since I was born -- and some of them even shaved.
Congrats to all the gals, kudos to last year's winner Drae Campbell, who walked off stage with a big "Thank You" scrawled on her butt cheeks, and congrats to fellow judge World Famous "BOB" for finding "a straight bear" to marry.
He's perfect for the world's only F-to-F -- and they're heading to Dollywood!
The pageantry never ends.

Sometimes, don't you just wonder what God sees in you? Why He bothers with you? I sure do.
Recently while reading a passage in one of Emilie Barnes' books, I ran across what I think is the perfect Valentine's message.
It told what God believes about us, and I wanted to share these simple thoughts with you, to remind you, as it did me, how much God cares for you:
Because God loves you, He is slow to lose patience with you.
Because God loves you, He doesn't treat you as an object to be manipulated.
Because God loves you, He is for you.
Because God loves you, He keeps working patiently with you - even when you feel like giving up.
Because God loves you, He never says there's no hope for you. No, He patiently works with you, loves you, and disciplines you.
So, be encouraged. No matter where you are in life, no matter what's going on today, remember God loves you!!!

FORT WAYNE – Notre Dame's brutal schedule appears easier to handle than when the season started. That's what a 4-0 start will do to a slate that had five teams in the Associated Press preseason Top 25 on it. Even if the No. 10 Irish still have three games remaining against Top 25 opponents. But after dispatching then-No. 18 Michigan 13-6 on Sept. 22 at home a week after upsetting then-No. 10 Michigan State, the Irish believe big things are in store for the rest of the season.

There are hundreds and likely thousands of companies with active GSA Schedules that will never see an order placed against them. Most of these will be terminated by GSA due to these companies not meeting the dollars vs. time requirement, while others will be "let go" by the companies that made the effort to acquire that hunting license in the first place.
One thing is for certain, someone is losing money when this happens.
In fact, it's likely both the awarding agency and the award recipient lose in this situation. If the company paid someone to process the submission and negotiate the offer on their behalf, they lose actual dollars and probably some staff time. If they did it in-house, there may have been some lost dollars but the impact is probably realized as valuable resource time that could have been allocated to other more productive pursuits. On the other side, GSA has administrative burdens associated with all contracts and contract vehicles. They realize a cost of doing business whether transactions occur on the contracts, or not.
That cost of doing business is the key to this piece.
My friend Roger Campos who leads the Minority Business Round Table (MBRT), recently hosted one of his luncheons that featured Jan Frye, Chief Acquisition Officer at Department of Veterans Affairs. Overall Mr. Frye provided substantive and useful information during his presentation, but what stuck with me the most was a commentary related to the Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE), the entity responsible for verifying Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) who want to participate in the VA's Veterans First Contracting Program.
Let me repeat.
The Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) is the entity responsible
for verifying Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB)
and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) who want to participate in the
VA's Veterans First Contracting Program.
Why so dramatic?
The point made by Mr. Frye that resonated with me is the fact that there are hundreds, actually thousands of VOSB and SDVOSB companies registered with CVE that have no intention of pursuing business with the VA. Like GSA's administrative costs for zero-dollar schedules that are eventually cancelled, these verifications cost VA money to administer. As a result, valuable resources (time and money) that could be used to help Veterans or Veteran-Owned Businesses seeking opportunities at VA, are lost for no good reason. That's not what Mr. Frye said but how I'm summarizing his comments.
This is happening apparently, due to a great misunderstanding by many Veteran and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses, and some agencies, too. The misunderstanding is tied to the fact there are two programs for Veteran-owned businesses, one administered by VA, the other by SBA. On that note, here are some of the very good op-ed's on the subject, written by my friend, Attorney Steven Koprince, in his SmallGovCon blog:
So my question to agencies who have adopted or are considering adopting regulations to require companies to be verified by CVE for their non-VA set-asides is, why not just use the SBA program?
Actually, VA should quickly set up a "fee-for-service" offering for agencies that want to leverage CVE verification as a criteria for their non-VA VOSB and SDVOSB procurements. That would put more dollars back in circulation for Veterans and Veteran-businesses at VA, right?
For VOSB and SDVOSB companies not pursuing VA business, are you potentially diminishing benefit to yourselves and/or your fellow Veterans by having VA verify you for non-VA business opportunities?

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – The Veterans Administration is working to improve response time for patients in St. Louis.
At the John Cochran VA Medical Center, VA Acting St. Louis Director Kevin Inkley says phone calls are going out to let new patients know they can go to private doctors and hospitals if the VA wait time is too long.
"Any patients who have been waiting over 30 days, we are asking that patient if they want to be sent to a private institution for care," he says.
Inkley says about 2,000 VA patients here are getting the notice.
The VA is also hiring more staff to improve its patient capacity, and adding a fleet of 11 vans to shuttle in patients from outlying towns.

Rock and roll has been saved!
Or so Fall Out Boy declared Friday when the band's co-headlining tour with fellow pop-punk rockers and Grammy nominees Paramore came to Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden.
There were turbulent lights and triumphant pyrotechnics. When not displaying riot scenes, the above-stage monitors displayed the words "Save Rock And Roll" - the title of Fall Out Boy's 2013 fifth album, their first since 2008. The concert started, as does the album, with "The Phoenix," a song about rising from the ashes and battling for rock.

In an effort to answer the question "Who is doing what on my network?", the company Cyberoam has released Cyberoam iView, a new, open-source logging and reporting solution. Cyberoam iView, says its creator, delivers centralized identity-based logging and reporting of multiple devices across geographical locations, thus enabling organizations to meet their security management and regulatory compliance requirements. The application further solves many drawbacks, such as the expense of existing logging-reporting solutions or the need to correlate individual logs from multiple devices like firewalls, antivirus and antispam solutions, intrusion-prevention solutions, proxy servers, routers, operating systems and more. One already can derive logs and reports via Linux iptables/Netfilter firewall, the popular open-source HTTP proxy Squid and other commercial UTM firewall solutions.
The disaster recovery application InMage Scout—InMage's flagship product—recently was upgraded to version 5.1. InMage Scout is a single platform that supports transparent backup, quick disaster recovery from catastrophic failures and automated application failover/failback for improved restoration of application services. Enhancements in this new v5.1 include enhanced support for larger environments and multi-tenancy features for MSP customers, as well as improved scalability, platform coverage and ease of use. Support for Sun Solaris also has been added to the existing support for Linux and Windows.
If you're in the market for a mail server with a slick Web-based e-mail application, AXIGEN hopes you'll try its new Mail Server Version 7.2. AXIGEN says that service providers will appreciate the new AJAX-based Webmail, a "cool Web experience" for its users that "will help them create new services and generate new streams of income" due to its strong focus on monetization. The application provides multiple, customizable advertising capabilities and seamless integration with third-party applications, such as portals and community-related tools, thus helping SPs keep their customers on-line for a longer period. The application introduces features such as keyboard navigation and shortcuts, drag and drop, live e-mail list view, frequent folders and also allows users to employ shortcuts and time-saving tricks they already have been using with classic desktop e-mail clients, such as Outlook or Thunderbird. Supported platforms include Linux, various BSDs, Solaris and Windows.
The latest single-board computer to come from the house of WinSystems is the EBC-Z8510-G, this one powered by the Intel Atom processor (1.1GHz or 1.6GHz) and integrating the new COMIT (Computer On Module Interconnect Technology) and SUMIT-ISMT I/O expansion standards. The little guy measures in at 203mm x 147mm (8.5" x 5.75"). The I/O interface features two Gigabit Ethernet ports, CRT and LVDS flat-panel video, a MiniPCIe card interface for a wireless networking module, four USB 2.0 ports, four serial COM ports, HD audio, PATA controller for both a CompactFlash and hard disk, 48 lines of digital I/O, LPT and a PS/2 port for keyboard and mouse. The EBC-Z8510-G supports Linux and Windows OSes and development kits.
Napatech has added extremely accurate packet timestamping—important for measuring quality-of-service factors in packet networks, such as latency—to its line of intelligent network adapters for real-time network analysis. The new time synchronization solution enables Napatech network adapters to be synchronized with a variety of time sources, such as GPS, IEEE 1588v2, CDMA and Pulse Per Second sources. This feature allows packets to be timestamped with an accuracy of 50 nanoseconds. It also lets Napatech adapters be daisy-chained, allowing a single time synchronization source for multiple adapters. Napatech calls its adapters "ideal for OEM network appliance vendors in the network performance monitoring, test and measurement, security and optimization markets." An extensive software suite is provided for integration supporting Linux, FreeBSD and Windows.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

ATLANTA - Three months passed between games for Mike Stutes, and when he stepped onto the Marlins Park mound on Tuesday, he expected nothing. He had thrown just five bullpen sessions while recovering from shoulder inflammation. He faced one hitter, Ryan Howard, in a relaxed environment.
"If I spiked a slider," Stutes said, "I told him I was throwing it again."
So a scoreless inning against the Marlins was welcomed, even if he topped out at 89 m.p.h. There was no pain in his right shoulder, which has robbed him of the last two seasons after such a promising rookie year in 2011.

The Wood of Cree is the largest ancient wood in southern Scotland. In spring, the woodland really comes alive, with bluebells on the ground and birdsong in the air. You'll hear pied flycatchers and warblers. The wood is the perfect place to see willow tits, which are declining in the UK, as well as barn and tawny owls, and visitors such as redstarts and garden warblers. While you're here, spend some time on the otter platform and look out onto the river, which is teeming with life throughout the year. Barclye is the newest part of the reserve where, with support from our partners, we've been planting trees to extend the woodland. It could be 50 years before work is complete but it's already a fantastic part of the reserve to explore. Ramble along the marked trails, enjoy spectacular views and find out more about the history and archaeology of this magical place.
Open at all times.
Free, but donations to help us continue our work here are welcome.
This nature reserve is important for wildlife. RSPB Scotland welcomes responsible access, in line with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. During the ground-nesting bird breeding season (1 April to 15 August) we request that you keep your dog close to you, preferably on a short lead, clean up after your dog and that you keep to the paths.

The Memphis Grizzlies were all smiles after this thunderous throwdown from Marreese Speights.
Holding a 15-point advantage with less than two minutes left in the third quarter, point guard Mike Conley broke to the left wing and found a wide-open Speights near the top of the key.
Speights took the pass and immediately attacked the glass, finishing through the contact of the 6'10", 210-pound Brandan Wright.
It was the kind of play that words can't even describe. For Mavs.com scribe Earl K. Sneed, the slam needed just three letters (and of course some exclamation points for emphasis):
OMG!!! Marreese Speights.— Earl K. Sneed (@EKS_MavsNBA) December 22, 2012
It's tough to imagine Speights' eyes getting that wide if the 7'1", 240-pound Tyson Chandler had still protected the Dallas paint. That drive and dunk could have easily been nothing more than a mid-range attempt, then.
After winning the 2011 NBA championship, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban tried to position his team for a run at free agents Deron Williams and Dwight Howard. In doing so, Cuban cut ties with many of the players who had helped his club capture the first title in franchise history.
The Mavericks (12-15) did trim the point deficit to six with under two minutes left in regulation, but the Grizzlies (18-6) made enough plays late to secure a 92-82 victory.

Recap: 'America's Next Top Model' - 'Alek Wek'
Sexsational: It's the "werq" of 2011, ladies! And it's also the word that the judges have used to describe Molly, the first panel winner. Poor Nicole, meanwhile needs to get her youth on; she's been told by the panel that she photographs 15 years too old. Ouch! But will Tyra pay for her laser peel?
[Full recap of Wednesday's (March 2) "America's Next Top Model" after the break...]
Oh my God! Ondrei, aka Li'l Oluchi, has a very heartbreaking past: Two of her brothers died under unnatural circumstances.
"I know it's been a couple months or whatever," Monique meows, "but at the same time like, I wouldn't expect someone to still be here."
Tyra arrives in saffron chef gear, ("How are zee baybeeez?") accessorized by Heather, her nutritionist, but, sadly, not a French vocal coach. The girls are strapped into blindfolds and asked to guess which of two tasty dishes is the healthier. Surprise! Meatballs FTW!
Raw chicken is sitting in the fridge, and it like needs to get out of the girls' faces like right now.
Alexandria's chicken, it turns out. Dalya lectures Alexandria about how to properly store chicken.
"I'm 21! I know how to do things!" Alexandria replies.
Southern magnolia Jaclyn is terrified of all things Alexandria after that. So am I, but it's because, in the confessional booth, Alexandria looks *20* years older than she is.
"Tomorrow you will face your worst critic," it says. Which means, of course, the contestants themselves. Sexy Nigel meets the girls in Burbank and tells them they're going to need to learn to perform. Filthy thoughts ensue.
There is also an acting coach named Eugene. He introduces the girls to their "inner critic."
"I have an inner critic I guess when I'm PMSing a lot, because I feel like I'm fat," Monique volunteers. "But besides that I'm a pretty confident person."
Molly tears up appropriately after being asked about her adoptive parents.
The girls are given 10 minutes to work with easels and draw pictures of their inner critics. Because we all know that's totally how Kate Moss got started. Each girl must then face the easel monster, backed by the thespian stylings of Eugene.
"Why isn't anything I do good enough for you?" Nicole mewls.
"People tell you your voice is too high," Jaclyn bawls.
But it's Li'l Oluchi who makes the rest of the girls break down into fresh tears as she relives the death of her two brothers.
"It's not fair," Ondrei cries. And it's authentically heartbreaking.
The takeaway from all this?
"It's your humanity that makes you beautiful," Nigel purrs.
But what if you're humanity is photographing 15 years too old?
Anyway. After all that, the girls are given free earrings.
"We all deserve it because we all went through heck," Jaclyn declares.
The stress has taken its toll on Ondrei, who gets on the blower with her extremely lucky boyfriend for support.
The girls arrive the next day at Smashbox Studios. For their photo shoot, the girls will be posing with live bees. And just to make sure the bees stick around, the girls must wear jewelry drenched in pheromones drenched in bee crack.
Monique manages to draw a "stunning" from Mr. Jay. Kasia is freaked out but impresses the photographer. Awkward Sarah doesn't seem to be taking direction well. Nicole's eyes look too sleepy during the shoot, drawing the critique of "lackluster" from Mr. Jay. Dalya's eyes also struggles with the smizing.
Mikaela does fine. Monique disappears into her own shoulders, but at least there are no bees in there.
Hannah, she of the champion winged eyeliner, is a sobbing mess, irritating Monique, especially because Mr. Jay actually likes the tears. Ambitious Alexandria is eager to show off. And competitive Molly is trying too hard to give intensity, at least, at first.
Jaclyn earns a "really pretty." Ondrei can't seem to show the world how gorgeous she is; blame the stupid easel, because I do.
And the consummate pro at the shoot? Brittani of the Trailer Park, she who did so well in her bubble in the previous episode. As pretty as Li'l Oluchi is, it's rapidly becoming clear that Brittani is the one to beat thus far.
Panel time. And holy crap, it's Alek Wek, a genuine bona fide supermodel! She'll be the guest judge today. Anything is better than Eugene and his Easel of Doom.
Ondrei is up first.
And holy crap, she quits.
Tyra understands. But she still will eliminate another girl if Li'l Oluchi's photo isn't the worst.
Kasia's photo impresses greatly. Mikaela and her eyebrows look great in panel, and so does her photo. Unfortunately, this was the only decent photo. Ditto with Monique, who delivers a decent photo, but not great film. Brittani? Very strong. She looks like she's being paid to model already.
Jaclyn delivers a nice profile, but her hands distract. Dalya's eyes are closed in her photo, mostly because all the others aren't good. Alexandria comes off like the bossy ice queen she is, and Wek likes it.
"It's like bam! It's full on," Wek raves.
Sara? Blah. She doesn't own the awkward the way last cycle's winner, Ann, did. Molly is neither here nor there. Nicole still looks old, gurl!
"I need you to think newborn baby!" Tyra declares.
Hannah and her tears show up next.
"Oh you poor thing," Nigel gushes. Andre Leon Talley also accepts the photo into his presence.
Monique's photo is so good that Andre is left babbling something about old Shanghai.
"You put this in your salon," Andre says.
"Andre, I don't *have* a salon," Tyra scolds.
So who goes home?
The callout: Hannah, Brittani, Monique, Mikaela, Kasia, Dominique, Sara, Alexandria, Jaclyn, Molly.
The bottom two: Nicole and Dalya. Nicole is reminded -- again -- that she photographs like a codger. Dalya gets to stay. Nicole is sent home to seek out the Olay aisle at the drugstore.
Next week: Sara loses her rat tail, for it is makeover time.

Skip to comments.Andrea Mitchell: I Plead Guilty To Being One of The 'Elite, Smart People'
Posted on 09/17/2012 1:18:11 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest
Gee, and you thought Barack Obama had an inflated opinion of himself. After watching Andrea Mitchell in action, he might actually need self-esteem therapy . . .
On her MSNBC show today, Mitchell rolled a clip in which Rick Santorum told the Value Voters Summit that "we will never have the elite, smart people on our side." After asking a former Santorum aide what he he meant by the "elite smart people," Mitchell declared "I think I should plead guilty."
View the video here.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
NOT GUILTY!............Gullible...........
Andrea Mitchell declares herself one of the "elite, smart people." Ping to Today show list.
well she got "One", "elite", and "people" right
I agree. She is found Not Guilty of that charge.
Mika Brzezinski says "Ooh! Ooh! Me too! Me too!"
Ryan was being sarcastic. And so is Mitchell.
This witch needs to come down to my neck of the woods. I'll show here what elite smart people do to afternoon snacks like her! Clueless, dried up old smelly wench!
Maybe I should tell you how I really feel GLGB ;D!
A breast lift and some weight loss ~ maybe an early onset facelift as well ~ maybe she's guilty, but otherwise no ~ leastwise not on the smart part.
Pompous sack of chihuahua dung.
and skanky
Pompous, dried out old windbag is more like it...
Too stupid to know that Ricky was mocking them.
No, she isn't, she actually believes it. My mother worked for her back in the 80s.
Some "journalist". She is admitting that she will always remain faithful to the Dummirats.
She misheard them and thought they said "smell if fart people" to which she said she was guilty.
She smelt it cause she dealt it.
I have bad news for you.
Elitism is NOT a measure of your bank account.
It is rather, a derogatory term, denoting an inflated sense of self-worth.
Yup, looks elite and smart to me.
DUH. The idiot doesn't get it. "elite, smart people" doesn't mean in reality. It means in the liberals own mind. Examples: Oboma and Hillary.
Liberals are too dumb to realize how dumb they really are. They think they're brilliant, but everything they've ever done (and will do) has been a total disaster for everyone. They can't do anything right.
Yeah. I think she should plead guilty. She sees HERSELF as a human above all others, but what good has she ever done for the world other than bitch, complain, and blame everyone else for her own failures like all the other dumbass liberals in the world?
And I plead guilty to being the best looking man on earth, who is also better "in bed" than any other man alive.
I can also fly, read your mind, and have degrees from Harvard, Yale, and MIT.
Yeah, that's the ticket...
Is this really true? Andrea is one of the dumb fuc#s.
Eighty five percent of people think they are smarter than average.
With her swelled head, it's a good thing that large-screen TVs are getting cheaper.
She worked hard for that title.
The Great Ronaldus Maximus once said (approximately), "It's not that liberals are dumb. It's that so much of what they know, just isn't so."
Truer words were never spoken. :-)
She is too stupid to understand that the self-appointed elite who see themselves as 'the smart people' are the arrogant dumb ones.
Liberal code for 'commie slut.'
"Rick Santorum told the Value Voters Summit that "we will never have the elite, smart people on our side." "
Very poor word choices in my opinion.....
Andrea Mitchell...as sharp as a marble..
Smart???? She is a walking insult to my intelligence.
All of the elite smart people from Obama on down have proved in less than 4 years that the self proclaimed elite smart people are in reality the effete smart people.
They are special, but, in a "riding the short bus," sort of way.
I think that Andrea Mitchell overestimates her intellect.
I really wish conservatives would just boycott the MSM like the Dems blocked conservatives from appearing on the MSM at their convention.
After all, the very least that happens is that we disagree with almost all the MSM stated ponts of view, So there is no meeting of the minds or compromise possible on true conservative positions.
Let the MSM have a hissy fit, and implode. Their narrow viewership will only decrease as they continue to flail about.
Any dimmer and she would need to be watered weekly.
Yes, I can't deny how much smarter I am than the hopeless fools who watch my show.
