I was so sad my husband and fathers of my three youngest passed away i didnt know which way to turn I spoke to Argosy,and fell in love, but my academic counselor has all the power, can tell me one thing one day and change it two weeks from then. I needed to stop being in a very conflictive class for me, i was getting ill again with recuring shinglesand in so much pain. I am too exhausted to tell the entire thing, but if anyone is looking into going to argosy, i am finding they only want your student grants and loan money anything that rocks there boat, they tss over and out and try to make it the students fault so they can keep the oney the student must pay back, it is creepy and cruel.

Hi, i always wanted to do a matte painting so this seems to be the perfect opportunity.
Played around with the image and now have something in mind like a vivid, somewhat naturally grown and carved city... a little bit of Hundertwasser in it maybe.
I think that should combine the Steampunk-aspect and the given architecture quite nicely.
So much for the idea, that was the easy part. Now the only problem is to achive this

From This Moment On (AU) || allonsy-i-am-the-tenth-doctor
It was a war they were facing.
The daleks had to be stopped, as did Davros. There was a general plan of attack…for the most part. For the time being though, Rose only had one task on her mind and it was that of running to the Doctor, the man that she'd thought she'd lost for so long before she'd managed to find a way back. Admittedly, she wished it hadn't been under those circumstances that they'd met again. Regardless, it was a reunion.
The gun that she carried felt weightless as her legs carried her to him. A smile on her face that matched her honey-colored eyes, full of adoration and longing. Hope surged within her and she noticed his steps, so quick and just as eager as her own if not more so. He's missed her…and that was a comforting thought. She hadn't been left behind emotionally at the very least.
With all of the excitement she hadn't noticed the Dalek enemy hiding in the shadows until it was too late and her body froze in that instant. Rose aimed her gun and she and the Dalek fired at the same time, unfortunately neither of them missed and the menace was destroyed but the blonde fell to the concrete as well, her weapon clattering on the unforgiving ground.
She felt her heart slowing and wondered vaguely why it hadn't killed her instantly but focused more on staying alive than wondering about it.


text: Whatever money Kris Humphries ends up getting from Kim Kardashian is going to be reduced a lot by the news that he got Myla Sinanaj pregnant. Yep. This is the person he supposedly didn't care about and really was just a glorified stalker. Well, now he gets to spend the rest of his life in communication with her and for the next 18 years or so paying child support. Little invention called a condom. Might want to look into it, especially if you are going to keep on having random sex with people. You just know that Kris will also be up to appearing on Maury and Myla is probably down with that too. I would watch for sure.

I'll Put Jesus First In My Life!
Text: Matthew 6:33; Romans 12:1-2; Col. 3:1-4
Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
Romans 12:1-2 1 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, accepta-ble to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
Colossian 3:1-4 1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will ap-pear with Him in glory.
Introduction: Our theme for this lesson is "I'll Put Jesus First In My Life." In our hymnal, "Great Songs of the Church," # 243 is "The World All About Me." This song was written by James DeForest Murch back in the 1930's. I am going to take each of the verses and present lessons that we can take from the verses that will help up all be "conformed to the image of the Son of God." (Romans 8:29)
All of us have priorities in life. We all have "anchors" in our lives. Every priority and anchor that is not grounded in the Lord Jesus will only last through this life. We all need something or someone in our lives that will lead to eternal life.
The chorus reads as follows: "In all that I say, in all that I do, throughout the world of toil and strife, by day and by night, through trust in His might, I'll put Jesus first in my life."
Notice that the intent of this chorus is not halfhearted commitment. It is giving one's all to a life of dedicated, faithful service. We are reminded that life is not always a "bed of roses," but life is many times up and down, and full of all kinds of emotions and feelings. But we can rest assured that we have One who loves us, One who keeps His Word and wants us to have an abundant life in Him. Paul, in writing to the Ephesians said, "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished upon us…" (Eph. 1:8-9a ESV)
We have the promise that no matter what time of the day, He is always there for us. We can count on the promise of the Great Commission "Lo, I am with you always…" If we always seek to put Jesus first in our lives, He will equip us for service.I have been taking the verses and chorus of the song "The World All About Me." In this devotion I want to discuss the question "Why Give Up Sin?" All Christians should be in "an attitude of gratitude" for what the Lord Jesus has done, is doing, and will do for us.
The second verse of the song starts off with the phrase "The Lord Jesus died my salvation to win:" This should remind us of the great cost of salvation; not to us, but to the Godhead. Our Heavenly Father loved us so much that He sent His Son to die in my place. The song further says "He went in my stead to Calvary and bled." He took our place; we do not deserve to be saved. We are reminded of the need for the blood of Christ to be shed for the remission of our sins.
The last phrase of the second verse says "Redemption impels us to give up all sin." This refers to the title of this devotion. Now that we are in Christ, we are to live a new life. We should be motivated by what Jesus did in redemption. If He loved us so much that He died for us, then we ought to try our best to avoid sin. But praise God if we do sin and "all have sinned…," we have Jesus to intercede for us (Heb. 4:14-16).
So, fellow believer, let's always be reminded of the love of Jesus and live our lives and be reminded that we are now in the kingdom of the Son of His love (Col. 1:12-14) and are living in the marvelous light of the Gospel. (I Peter 2:9)
Christians are promised in the Word of God that their eternal destiny is to be with the Lord Jesus Christ forever (I Thes. 4:17). Wherever He is or goes, we will be with Him. We can know, in this life, that we are saved and have assurance of our salvation. Many, even some Christians do not have this assurance.
The song "I'll Put Jesus First," in verse 3 uses the words "I Know." We can look forward to a time "when death is no more, when struggle is o'er." Christians are "the ransomed and blest." When we sing this song we are forever reminded of the redemption we have in Christ.
The last phrase of the verse says "For those who love Jesus and give Him their best." Do you love Jesus? If so, you will want to "grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus." (I Peter 3:18). We prepare for the "home for the ransomed and blest," in this life. Remember, we are saved by grace, thought faith, in baptism, for good works. We are not saved because we worked our way into Heaven; rather, we are working for the Lord Jesus because we are saved. Let's live our Christian lives preparing for eternal life. If we want to grow in Jesus, He will equip us for service.
In verse 4 of the song "I'll Put Jesus First in My Life" we are reminded of the protecting grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. The New Testament teaches us that we are saved by grace through faith, in baptism unto good works. As long as we abide in Jesus we will never fall, we will never lose our salvation.
Christians are never promised a "bed of roses." We are not under a "name it and claim it" philosophy as many radio and TV preachers would have us believe.
We are not immune from the "cares of this world." The "rain" falls on the "just and unjust," the Bible tells us. "Tho' earth's tribulations continue each day," reminds us that bad times do befall the believer, "His grace will protect me forever and aye.." We can "take that to the bank." We can be assured that although we live "in this world," we are "not of this world." (I John 2:15-17)
Remember the chorus, "In all that I say, in all that I do, throughout the world of toil and strife, by day and by night, through trust in His might, I'll put Jesus first in my life." We must give our all to the Lord. We must be consistent in our walk for Him. We must "let our light shine" for Jesus! Keep looking up! Jesus may come today!

Review: "Ann is a true partner to her clients. She is smart, professional, efficient, and thinking. I would recommend her to anyone who cares about the quality of their legal advice, and who wants an attorney who helps good deal...
Practice areas & skills: Real Estate
Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
Real estate attorneys deal with the many laws and practice areas associated with land ownership issues. For example, a commercial real estate attorney knows which laws apply to commercial transactions for construction/development projects (such as condo construction), or land use/zoning projects (such as subdividing a parcel of land for development), or real property issues (such as financing a large land purchase). Likewise, residential real estate lawyers help you buy a home, or prevent you from losing your home in foreclosure. They also know how residential tenancy laws work and can advise you of your rights as a tenant. With so many types of real estate attorneys, it is important to find a specialist who does the work you need.

Bozeman babies born on one-of-a-kind birthday
BOZEMAN, Mont. - Brinley Rose was born just after 5 pm Wednesday afternoon- one of four babies born at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital on 12-12-12.
Mom and dad Alison and Brian Hagerman said their first born arrived right on her due date- and they couldn't have been happier to meet their little girl.
"It's wild" Alison said. "I didn't think we'd have it on this day, but it's pretty neat."
Alison said her nurse told her only three percent of babies are actually born on their due date. She said when she went into labor Tuesday night, she hoped Brinley would arrive on the unique day.
"Had contractions last night, and was hoping that she would come today and not tomorrow" Alison said, adding with a laugh, "yeah, I really didn't want to be in labor for three days."
Proud grandparents and an uncle crowded around Brinley Wednesday night, as she lay fast asleep in her mother's arms.
Mom said 12-12-12 is a fun date, and they'll always have a special way to remember it.
"That's a great date- we'll never forget it" she said. "It's pretty neat."

Scaling Agile Up and Out: A Tale from the Trenches
It seems like everyone wants to scale their agile teams. As projects grow in scope, the agile approach to software development needs to scale up to larger team sizes. Agile also needs to scale out to handle geographically distributed teams as businesses expand into new markets and seek the best talent available globally. These are challenging propositions for many teams. Ade Miller talks about his experiences at Microsoft®-scaling agile up on the Visual Studio® Tools for Office team and scaling out on the radically distributed teams within the patterns & practices group. Ade covers the approaches used-some which worked well, some not so well-and shares that the important thing is what was learned and how this new knowledge can be applied successfully to other projects. Ade presents some successful practices when scaling agile projects as well as some key pitfalls to avoid on your projects.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
This company places recruitment ads for its weight loss clinics that present the title and responsibilties of the job in a way that do not accurately portray the job as it really is. The job is in reality a weight loss groceries sales job, and the so-called 'weight loss counselor' is nothing more than a food diary record-recorder.
In addition, the company portrays itself as an Equal Employment Opportunity Company when in reality it wants primarily attractive young females who may or may not have credentials in nutrition. It seems that many of the females actually have credentials or education related to fashion merchandising, retail sales, sociology, or some other non-specific education with no core of study related to nutrition or health.
Some of the so-called managers and weight loss specialists have never used the products to lose weight, and have actually had liposuction to remove body fat withouth any concommitant use of the companies weight loss products or methodology.

The Department of Employment and Econcomic Development has a record of the testimony supporting the Unemployment Compensation claim, the rebuttal, and the decision affirming benefits payment.
The findings of the sworn testimony resulted in the benefits decision to uphold the original decision that benefits could be claimed. Whatever the 'bitter' comment referred to should be considered slanderous. No misconduct was shown.
The prior comment is a defense of personal prejudice.

Inside delivery is a cost effective way to have large, heavy items delivered inside your home or office when you just do not want to be bothered by moving and lifting. We recommend inside delivery because this item is either extremely large, extremely heavy or ships in multiple boxes. When your order reaches the local station in your area, you will be contacted to schedule a delivery appointment (with a 4 hour window). The driver will place the item inside your home and do all of the heavy lifting for you!
Orders generally ship 2-3 weeks after the date of purchase.
Shipping Type:
The default, free shipping service is Curbside. This means that your item will be delivered on a large commercial truck to your curb. In some cases, you may have to assist the driver in removing the item from the truck.
An upgrade to Inside Delivery for $74.00 comes highly recommended. The shippers will bring the item inside to your room of choice, climbing a maximum of two flights of stairs. Please note that Inside Delivery does not include unpacking or assembly.

Predictions of snow accumulation didn't come to fruition around the local area, but potential dangers still exist due to Sunday's freezing rain and the arctic cold temperatures, according to the National Weather Service.
The storm system projected to hit the region moved in a northwestern direction along the Ohio River, resulting in large-scale snowfall in Illinois and Missouri. The local area did see freezing rain, sleet and wind gusts around 30 mph Sunday. Due to the plummeting temperatures set to continue through Wednesday, moisture will remain frozen to surfaces and roads, NWS meteorologist Kelly Hooper said.
Temperatures will hit a low about sunrise today of around -2 degrees and will only rise to about 2 degrees throughout the day Monday and into the night. Tuesday temperatures will increase into the teens and remain steady, reaching near freezing Wednesday and then above the freezing mark Thursday. Wind chills are projected between -20, near the Tennessee-Kentucky border, and -30 degrees, adjacent to the I-64 corridor, Hooper said.
"The wind chill and extreme cold temperatures are the biggest threat to life and property," he said.
A second system is set to begin with snow falling Wednesday into Thursday morning and then change to freezing rain and sleet. The precipitation will then change to liquid rain as temperatures move above freezing late Thursday.
The frigid wind and cold temperatures represent one of the greatest dangers to the safety and well-being of residents. Hooper said wind chills in the range of -20 to -30 increase the chance of frostbite after less than 30 minutes of exposure to the elements.
Roadways will be dangerous due to the low temperatures prohibiting melting or crews from treating the ice. Several area bridges began to ice as temperatures sharply dropped below freezing and into the teens Sunday, according to Hooper.
"Freezing rain is always a danger to pedestrians and motorists," he said. "We anticipate numerous accidents, so if you don't have to travel, stay home."
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokesman Keith Todd said although many area counties missed the bulk of the winter precipitation Sunday, road officials remain concerned about the potential for moisture on highways to flash freeze. Due to quickly dropping temperatures, the quality of roads and driving conditions could deteriorate in less than 30 minutes.
Officials treated roads in all region one counties Sunday afternoon but ice-fighting chemicals including salt are ineffective in temperatures lower than about 20 degrees. The work of crews to clear roadways will be limited until around Wednesday. Motorists should prepare for any possible hazard and avoid unnecessary travel during times of extreme cold, Todd said.
Paducah fire chief Steve Kyle lists essential travel supplies as - an ice scraper, flashlight, a charged cellular phone, cold-weather clothing, blankets and a product such as cat box filler to help provide traction beneath tires.
Kyle also provided several tips to avoid house fires, including - keeping heaters at least three feet away from combustibles, refraining from leaving portable space heaters, candles or other heating devices unattended and using caution when attempting to thaw frozen pipes.
United Airlines canceled flights in and out of Barkley Regional Airport for today and Tuesday due to the effect of freezing temperatures and icing at other airports. The Dorena-Hickman Ferry closed Saturday due to high winds with gusts reported at 30 to 35 mph. The ferry will remain closed until wind speeds decrease, according to Capt. Ed Floyd.
A local warming center is open on all nights with temperatures less than 32 degrees. The January center is located at Washington Street Missionary Baptist Church at 721 Washington St., with an entrance by the Christian Life Center. The facility will be open from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. For safety doors will be locked at 10 p.m. Other local warming stations locations include - from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Reidland Baptist Church, 5559 Benton Road, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the McCracken County Rescue Vehicle Building, 3700 Coleman Road and the McCracken County Courthouse, 300 S. Seventh St., according to Lori Thompson with the McCracken County Office of Emergency Management.

Exterior sanding and priming question
I'm getting ready to prep the boxing and facia on my home. After scraping loose paint, how do you guy's go about sanding? I've been using a palm sander and I go through quite a bit of sand paper trying to feather the paint out and get it ready for primer.
Any suggestions on how you guy's do this and what type of sand paper you are using would be appreciated.
Also, do you wash it down with a hose before you prim to get all of the dust off?
Hey Dude, firstly, no water! Just use some sort of a brush. An old 3" paint brush, preferably bristle, with the handle cut off makes a great duster. No water. As far as feathering old paint edges out, unless you're doing it for the looks, you don't need to. A palm sander with 80 weight paper will make you good time on the flats, and then you can use the same by hand. Split a full sheet in half, then trifold each half for your handpaper. For the areas that will be seen to clean up the edges, you can use some 50 or 60 on the sander, then follow it up with some 80. Alternatively, you could spackle (not joint compound, good exterior patching compound) the areas rather than feathering the edges. But up high and out of the way, it's not a valuable use of time, and some of that is too be expected/forgiven on old homes.
Thanks for the advice.
Any brand of sand paper you prefer over others?
I like 3M best. Paint stores generally sell 3M. HD sells Norton, and I don't think it holds up as well.

Our Diabetic Alert Dogs are among the finest available and our service does not end once your dog is delivered. Because your satisfaction is fundamental to everything we do, and to ensure your success, we provide continuous support for the life of your dog for any questions you may have.
Your Complete Satisfaction. Guaranteed!
We have recently improved upon our already comprehensive guarantee to insure your complete confidence in purchasing a dog, as well as to insure your complete satisfaction after the purchase. Just as important as the guarantee is the recourse should you have a problem. We have designed our guarantee (and back it up contractually in writing) to protect your interests.
There are three key areas to the guarantee:
Soundness of Hips and Elbows
Your complete satisfaction.
The health guarantee is for 12 months from the date of delivery.
Should there be a genetic health issue requiring a replacement dog (unlikely after our veterinarians have thoroughly examined each dog) we take responsibility for the expense of all shipping.
Hip and Elbow Dysplasia
Hips and elbows are guaranteed to be sound at 24 months of age (dogs with sound hips at 24 months of age have less than a 3% chance of change over their lifetime!). For dogs delivered over two years of age the guarantee is for 6 months from date of delivery. In the case of hip or elbow dysplasia you are able to keep your first dog and receive a replacement dog at our expense.
(A common strategy within the industry is to require returning a dysplastic dog in order to obtain a replacement. In most cases an owner chooses to keep his or her dog rather than sending the dog back to the seller and risk their pet being euthanized. In turn, the seller is no longer responsible for replacement because the buyer refuses to return the dysplastic dog. While we have never subscribed to this practice, allowing an owner to keep the first dog is now part of our contractual agreement.)
Complete Satisfaction
To ensure your complete satisfaction we allow you to exchange your dog for another dog for any reason up to 7 days from date of delivery. If you want a different dog, you are responsible for all shipping costs to return the first dog to NIDAD and for delivery of the replacement dog.

What happens to the perimeter of triangle ABC as the two smaller
circles change size and roll around inside the bigger circle?
Two semicircle sit on the diameter of a semicircle centre O of
twice their radius. Lines through O divide the perimeter into two
parts. What can you say about the lengths of these two parts?
Show that for any triangle it is always possible to construct 3
touching circles with centres at the vertices. Is it possible to
construct touching circles centred at the vertices of any polygon?
The triangle OPA has a vertex O at the origin and OA along
the x axis, such that P has coordinates (x, y)
and A has coordinates (2x, 0). By moving the position
of the point P infinitely many isosceles triangles can be
formed all having an area of 12 square units. What is the
locus of P such that the area of the triangle OPA is 12
square units? In the Java applet below, the point P is
controlled by sliding the red point along the red line. If
the red point disappears from view, simply press reload.

Dollar fired up by RBA stance on rates
Page Tools
The Australian dollar closed more than one US cent higher yesterday, extending its strong Friday night gains after the Reserve Bank indicated a clear tightening bias for interest rates.
At the close the Australian currency was trading at US71.54c, compared with 70.40c on Friday.
The Australian dollar held on to its early morning gains after it rallied on the back of a weaker US dollar, which was sold off after the publication on Friday night of much softer job figures than expected.
During yesterday's session the dollar reached a low of US70.20c and reached as high as US71.68c following the RBA's statement on monetary policy.
Commonwealth Bank currency strategist Alex Schuman said the RBA was unusually frank about interest rates, with the statement framing expectations that interest rates could rise again late in the year.
"It plays into our expectations of a rate hike in the December meeting, which we expect will be after the election," he said.
"I guess the danger is we will see interest rate hikes again some time next year ... from the statement, that would be the implication."
The RBA said it would be "surprising if Australian interest rates did not have to increase further at some stage in the current expansion".
"The statement ... was long-term hawkish," Mr Schuman said.
He said all of the gains were made after the RBA's announcement and the dollar had been further buoyed by a slightly stronger yen yesterday.
"The Aussie dollar has outperformed most of the other major currencies around the world and has outperformed the yen modestly," he said. "So the Aussie dollar has had a strong day ultimately from the RBA."
Mr Schuman said the local currency had jumped instantly after the release of the weak US jobs data on Friday night. "It was really quite a long way from expectations and was a big shock to the market and really wrong-footed investors quite badly," he said.
The US Federal Open Market Committee meeting on monetary policy this week will be the next focus for money markets.
Mr Schuman said all US forecasters expected the Federal Reserve to raise US interest rates by 25 basis points this week.
"Assuming they do tighten as per the script by 25 basis points, we might see a little bit of a pull-back on the Aussie dollar [below] US71c," he said.
"But the Aussie dollar will recover from here and push back towards the top end of the range by the end of the week."

The world indoor champion Richard Kilty claimed his Commonwealth Games preparations had been "messed up" after an apparent problem with the starting pistol made a mockery of his 100 metres race at the Sainsbury's Anniversary Games on Sunday.
There was no sound when the gun was fired, leading Kilty to pull up as soon as he had left his blocks thinking there had been a false start.
The race, though, was off and under way and the 24-year-old ended up coming last, a long way back in 10.60 seconds. Running on a purpose-built track at a temporary stadium at Horse Guards Parade, his England team-mate in Glasgow, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, took the victory in 10.29sec.
Kilty said: "It was obvious, ask the other competitors, nobody heard the gun. This gun they're using, I don't know if it's faulty, but no one can hear it.
"This was my final preparation [for the Commonwealths]. I've trained hard the last two weeks, this has messed my preparation up a little bit. This run was meant to be used as race practice and a confidence booster for the Commonwealths and through no fault of my own it's messed me up a little bit. It's a shame."
Tiffany Porter fired out a warning to Sally Pearson, her rival for 100m hurdles gold at the Commonwealths, by beating the Australian to victory. American Brianna Rollins, the world champion and another notable scalp, was second, with Pearson clocking 12.79 back in third.
Will Sharman continued his impressive form with another quick time – even if he lost out in a three-way photo finish in the 110m hurdles. The 29-year-old, who is in the form of his life after twice running a personal best of 13.21 this summer, clocked 13.24. American World Championship silver medallist Ryan Wilson was given the win.Reuse content

Halloween Weekend
Safety has always been a priority at Uber. On one of the busiest party weekends of the year, we want to help you get home safely.
As you prepare to celebrate this weekend, please be responsible – put safety first, make a plan before you drink, and commit to not drink and drive.
We'll be available 24/7 to provide you with a safe, reliable ride home at the touch of a button.
Demand increases on Halloween, and rides may be more pricey than usual. When there are more requests for rides than cars available, Surge Pricing kicks in and prices go up. This encourages additional drivers to go online and meet demand. So find friends to ride with this weekend.
But don't get spooked by Surge Pricing. Get a Fare Estimate in the app to get an idea of the cost before you ride.
And sharing isn't scary. Split your fare if you're rolling with friends. The more costumed companions you split with — the lower the cost.
Demand for rides will be highest between 8 pm – 2 am.
We're doing something special this weekend as part of our commitment to raise awareness about safe transportation options and smart alternatives to drinking and driving. At any of the locations below, join us to check out our new breathalyzer kiosk brought to you in partnership with our friends at Jack Daniel's to remind Halloween enthusiasts that driving under the influence is never acceptable and encourage bar goers to get a safe ride home.
Party safely, and party on, South Florida.

Richland County Council is an 11-member body elected to oversee the operations of Richland County Government. Council conducts its business through a number of standing and some ad hoc committees. Richland County Council generally meets the first and third Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. All meetings are open to the public. Council meetings are held inside Council Chambers, located on the second floor of the Richland County Administration Building, 2020 Hampton St., Columbia.

Click here to watch archived Richland County Council meetings.
County Council consists of eleven members who are elected in the November general elections from single member districts for four (4) year terms beginning on January first (1) of the year following their election. Council elects a Chair and Vice Chair for a one year term at its first meeting in January following the general election.
The Council conducts its business first through the standing committees, the Administration and Finance Committee and the Development and Services Committee, as well as ad hoc committees formed to address more specific concerns. The committee meetings, held on the fourth Tuesday of every month, serve as a forum for discussion of issues in order for a recommendation to be made to the full Council. The Council's Regular Session meetings take place on the first and third Tuesdays of every month at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, Richland County Administration Building, 2020 Hampton Street. On the second Tuesday, Council generally holds a work session to discuss large and complex issues that require more deliberation before any formal Council action is taken. The meeting dates and times for the committee and Council meetings are subject to change; however, proper notice is given to the public of meetings through the news media.
County Council enacts legislation in one of three ways: (1) general ordinances; (2) emergency ordinances; and (3) resolutions. General ordinances are the most formal and binding type of Council legislation. An ordinance may be introduced by a member of Council. General ordinances apply to tax levies, property disposition, leases, contracts, large purchases, and other significant undertakings. Each ordinance requires three readings of the legislation that occur during three separate Council Meetings prior to adoption. The first reading is done by title only with no opportunity to amend. The second reading may include a public hearing on the matter, and any Council member may propose amendments at this time. Third reading of an ordinance cannot be given until at least seven days after the second reading, and it may also be designated as a public hearing. If adopted by the majority of Council, the proposed ordinance becomes official.
The functions of County Council are to:

Tuesday, October 16, 7:30 p.m.Garrison Theater, Scripps College Performing Arts Center"Control, Resistance and Play: a Discussion of Mobile Media, Pedagogy and Civic Engagement in Public Schools"Antero GarciaAssistant Professor in English, Colorado State University, and former high school English teacher in South Central Los Angeles.
Lecture synopsis:The ubiquity of mobile media devices have shifted the structures of how we work and communicate in nearly every avenue of society except for schools. Despite the fact that nearly all of the nation's students are wirelessly connected, schools and teachers have done little to engender mobile devices into classroom learning experiences. Instead, the persistent use of mobile devices by students for texting, social networking, and gameplay means student mobile devices are seen as an insidious problem to be rooted out, filtered, and confiscated. Professor Antero Garcia will share research findings on ways students are socializing and mediating relationships through mobile devices on high school campuses, examples of student civic engagement with mobile devices, and opportunities for how schools can better respond to the "always connected" generation of students filtering into schools today. Antero will be joined by current South Central teacher, Mark Gomez, for part of this discussion.
Antero Garcia is an assistant professor in English at Colorado State University. Prior to this year, Antero was a high school English teacher in South Central Los Angeles for eight years. Antero's research focuses on the role of mobile media and gameplay in school settings. Currently, Antero is conducting research on a makerspace in Northern Colorado and the possibilities of computer programming in English Language Arts classrooms.

I enter the historic courthouse and make my way to the elevator. As I wait for the elevator door to open, I notice a sign leading to courthouse offices: "Beware of the Cat." It must be Mr. Jingles, the courthouse cat. I smile.
I enter the historic courthouse and make my way to the elevator. As I wait for the elevator door to open, I notice a sign leading to courthouse offices: "Beware of the Cat." It must be Mr. Jingles, the courthouse cat. I smile.
Today, I meet in the courtroom with Jim Toms, a member of the cast of the play "Sunbonnet and Straw Hat." He is providing a significant stage property. It is the desk used for 57 years by Columbus Mills Pace (1845-1925), clerk of court.
I suggest where the desk might be placed in the courtroom, and as I do, Mr. Jingles makes his appearance. I see the cat for the first time.
He is handsome. His coat is sleek and copper-colored with accents of darker shades. He preens and rolls on the courtroom floor and then leaps on the Pace desk and stretches out.
It is as if he is familiar with the old roll-top desk. The phantom cat shows no desire to leave until noise made by the movers sends him scampering to find quiet.
Jim and I are intrigued by contributions made by a small group of men shortly after the turn into the 20th century. C.M. Pace, Capt. M.C. Toms, W.A. Smith and Col. S.V. Pickens — all appeared at a crucial time in Hendersonville and Henderson County history. Their "vision" and contributions are legendary.
Jim generously provides the museum with pieces of history — C. M. Pace's desk and a portion of Col. S.V. Pickens' last will and testament.
For more than 50 years, Col. S.V. Pickens was a citizen of our town and county. He headed the company that built the Mountain Lily, a steamboat that, for a time, plied the French Broad River between King's Bridge and Brevard.
It was the highest steamboat in the world, 2,200 feet above sea level.
Col. Pickens also built and operated a horse-drawn street car. "Actually it was two mules named Kate and Beck and a horse named Major." The street railway was operated for several years after the railroad was completed in 1879.
According to Jim, the street car made regular trips from the Pickens home on South Main Street and Caswell to the Southern depot, with a branch line which led out Sixth Avenue, by the Methodist Church, to Pickens Tower, where later the Park Hill Hotel would be located, then the Hendersonville Elks Club.
One of his most noteworthy efforts was the organization of the first Bar Association in North Carolina, in 1883, from which the present state organization emerged.
"Col. Pickens and the others were strong-minded men, tempered by the fires of hardship and war — and they did not give up easily. Sometimes their stubbornness brought with it humor."
When Col. Pickens' street–car railway could not be sustained, he refused to take up the tracks that ran down the center of Main Street.
After some years, the town fathers insisted — and Col. Pickens resisted.
Finally, Charles French Toms, town attorney, and W.A. Smith, town councilman (both colleagues at the Bar with Col. Pickens), had the rails removed in the middle of a Saturday night.
Col. Pickens had the last word, however, when years later his will was read to the assembled leaders:
"I urge that my wife be faithful to the end and not remarry. I caution her to have no confidence in Charlie Toms or W.A. Smith for reasons well known to them."
Thanks to Jim Toms, the C.M. Pace desk, a part of history and myth, will occupy space in the Heritage Museum. Hopefully, the museum will be able to display Pace's office as it might have been. He served in both the 1842 and 1905 courthouses.
Jim Toms is a fourth-generation native of Henderson County whose great-grandfather, Marion Columbus Toms, came to Hendersonville after the Civil War to work for Col. Valentine Ripley in his general store located in the rock building on the corner just below the historic courthouse.
The Toms family gave the land for the first library in Hendersonville at the corner of Fourth Avenue and King Street.

@RepPeteKing on Hurricane Sandy–THIS IS A CLASSIC SCREW UP! [audio]
Rep. Peter King (R-NY), who also happens to be Brian's Congressman, called into Kilmeade and Friends and expressed his frustrations on the cleanup of Hurricane Sandy. King declared, "This is a classic screw up! The signals are changing by the hour." King went on to say that when he does actually get answers they then get corrected two hours later.

Shuttlesound delivers first Electro-Voice Phoenix touring system in UK, plus first installation of Phoenix
Formerly known as Psygnosis Sound & Light, and Black Giant Audio, the company used to rent out EV1810 rigs to the rave/garage scene back in the 1990s. Having re-branded itself as Event Sound earlier this year, the decision was taken to invest in new equipment to replace its older EV systems and recapture market share.
The investment has taken the shape of EV's new Phoenix speakers, together with EV's CP4000S amplifiers and EV Dx38 and DC One controllers. As well as an EV ZX5 monitor rig, the purchase includes EV microphones. Says Nick Billinghurst of Event Sound, "We investigated a good number of systems suited to the applications in which we were interested, narrowing it down to two for the live audition-one of which was the Electro-Voice Phoenix.
"From the moment we heard the Phoenix loudspeakers, it was clear that they had just the sound we had been searching for: high quality and well-balanced. It is so easy to set up the system, position the speakers, connect, and go. And it looks impressive! The fact that it gives such clarity in the high and mid-range, whilst at the same time punching out incredible lows, makes it ideal for the uses we have planned for, namely the mid to large concert scene, both indoor and outdoor."
Designed for tremendous SPL and sonic headroom, as well as ease of transport and set-up, Phoenix is intended to fulfill the needs of the live sound PA professional who finds that X-Array is just too much and QRx is not quite enough. Utilizing dual ND2 neodymium compression drivers on a manifold horn and state-of-the-art DVX woofers, its high-output performance has been optimized to reproduce rock, pop, and dance styles of music.
Event Sound first used the system at Inspire 08, an open-air showcase for local bands that is part of the Reading Glade Festival. Billinghurst reports that the Phoenix debut was "everything we wanted and more. We had lots of comments about how good the sound was, and have received many enquiries on the back of that event."
Last month, Shuttlesound provided a club sound system of Phoenix enclosures, along with a full complement of EV microphones, for Birmingham live venue The Asylum. Installed by local agent Dave Black of PMT, the high SPL character of the Phoenix system is perfectly suited to this hard rock/nu metal club.

These zip wallets from the Anne Demeulemeester line remind me of the old coin wallets my gramps used to rock – slightly more pricey though. "This black or white leather wallets have a rounded shape with a silver metal zip to fasten. Inside there is one large envelope pocket for notes, one card pocket and a coin pocket with popper fastening." LN-CC has them.

Where I stayed
Mingtown Garden International Hostel
Giles: So, Shanghai. Brilliant place, loved it, expensive though in places, the places we went two nights running! But Pizza Express was worth it, and the live entertainment the following night was funky too - a big black lady with an amazing voice in a jazz and blues club! So now we're counting our pennies. Luckily we got hold of our fake things before we decided to pull the purse strings, Sam already mentioned her bags and purses, and I got hold of an Omega watch (James Bond style no less) for 20 quid - identical to the one in the official Omega store which was priced at 3500 quid! Was also told it was made using a proper Swiss machine... whether or not I believe that is one thing, but I was impresed she knew it's a Swiss make!
Now in Hangzhou, attempting for some relaxing times but getting nowhere fast - firstly this keyboard's R and N don't work properly so it's hellish writing this, secondly the staff aren't too helpful with no idea about trains leaving this place and they refused to speak to places in <Macau for us for booking our next place. But we got there in the end, the internet is a useful tool! Just booked a place in Macau for a couple of nights, then four in Hong Kong as it's cheaper (hostels don't exist in Macau). And the drawback for no trains is that we have to fly from here to a port near Macau - expensive even with an 80% discount, but a bunch of trains from here, back to Shanghai, switching somewhere else would have been just as pricey - not my finest suggestion to come to this place!! Plus after all that it pretty much leaves us with only today to do the sightseeing thing, and it's aleady 13:30! Not a great deal to see though, a pretty lake and nice walks (yes, Sam has her shoes on today!).
I'll be in a better mood for the next blog update from Macau!
Much love, Gam and Siles xxx

5 Southern Bands that Rocked Hangout
All eyes were on the South this weekend as musicians and music lovers descended on Gulf Shores, Alabama, for the 4th annual Hangout Music Festival.
With one of the most eclectic lineups of summer, Hangout had acts to suit every kind of musical taste. Crowd favorites included Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Roots, Bassnectar, Stevie Wonder, and Ellie Goulding. But it was the Southern bands that really caught our attention. Here are the up-and-coming groups that rocked Hangout.
1. Delta Rae
Hailing from Durham, North Carolina, this 6-piece band blends country, soul, pop, and folk in a way that is cohesive and energetic. Different members take lead vocals depending on the song, but MVP has to go to Brittany Holljes; her powerful wails during "Bottom of the River" (recently featured in the new True Blood trailer) sent chills down the spine.
Listen To: "Bottom of the River"
2. Shovels and Rope
You can't find onstage chemistry better than this husband and wife duo from Charleston, South Carolina. Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent's debut album, O' Be Joyful, released last summer is getting all the right kinds of of attention (they lead nominations for the 2013 Americana Awards) thanks to their homegrown harmonies and engaging performances.
Listen To: "Birmingham"
3 The Kingston Springs
For anyone who was fading by Saturday afternoon, The Kingston Springs provided the perfect wake-up call. The Tennessee band delivers a style that ranges from blues to folk to rock. They kept the crowd entertained right up to when vocalist/bass player Alex Geddes stripped down to a speedo for the final number.
Listen To: "Weight of the World"
4. Wild Cub
Prior to Hangout, this Nashville, Tennessee, band performed at New York Fashion Week Fall 2013, SxSW, and opened for fellow fest performer, Ellie Goulding—not bad for a group that dropped their first LP, Youth less than a year ago. Their fluid electronic-pop sound wasn't what you've come to expect from Nashville, but that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it.
Listen To: "Thunder Clatter"
5. Luella and the Sun
If you didn't get down to Gulf Shores early enough on Friday afternoon to see this buzzy Nashville, Tennessee, band, you definitely missed out. Draped in a costume of soda can fasteners, lead singer Melissa Mathes led the 4-piece ensemble in a powerful set with her hypnotic and raw vocals.
Listen To: "Fly So Free"
Tell us, who were your favorite performers at the Hangout?

What started out as fun and games ended up causing many people to frown, and jTBC's Shinhwa Broadcast has officially apologized.
On June 4, Shinhwa Broadcast apologized through its official Twitter, regarding the sexual harassment controversy that rose with June 2's episode.
In the episode, Shinhwa's Andy was kidnapped by Infinity Girls comediennes in a hostage scenario and 'tortured' with kisses and excessive groping, making viewers feel rather uncomfortable.
In the apology, Shinhwa Broadcast wrote, "The staff of Shinhwa Broadcast would like to apologize for unintentionally causing discomfort to the viewers with June 2's broadcast.
Despite everyone's worries, the filming took place with a positive atmosphere from beginning to end with consent and complete understanding [of the concept] from the comediennes and Andy beforehand. It seems that the emphasized mood of the edited results, which were for the enjoyment of the broadcast, was what caused discomfort while viewing.
With the following episode, we will be more careful to make sure not to create any more concerns or worries for the viewers. We will seriously take in everyone's interest and advice for Shinhwa Broadcast and will do our best to create an enjoyable Shinhwa Broadcast. "

A lunchtime treat from Small Axe Food Truck.
Our 'Best of' categories are quite comprehensive (see our supplement in this issue), but there's a lot of stuff they don't cover — things that defy categorization, things we didn't even know needed to be honored until we saw/experienced/enjoyed them. And that's why we have Editors' Picks. To recognize what's off-the-radar, underground, and underrated; to celebrate alt-consumerism; to amplify the whispers we hear on the streets and in the bars. And, frankly, to give props to our personal faves. Because we all have our own unique experience as Portlanders, our own corners to cry in, our own hobbies to work at, our own go-to treats and treasures, our own nostalgia-inducing sights, smells, and sounds...To honor those, we offer these, a handful of personal Bests.
Best Locally Sourced Porn: Fruit Punch Productions Tired of searching for titillation from the same old generic skin-flick production companies? Sick of seeing the same plastic body types boning away in the same tired positions, faking another run-of-the-mill climax? Simply frustrated by pornography that continues to perpetuate a misogynistic, homophobic, rape-culture status quo? Well, have we got an all-natural, local alternative for you. Fruit Punch Productions, run by a trans couple based here in Portland, is committed to safer-sex, consent-based porn that turns the lens away from the heteronormative smut that saturates the sex video industry. Fruit Punch delivers characters of different orientations, gender identities, races, and body types that talk about what they want, and how they want it. We think that's pretty hot. Check out their first feature film, One Night Stand (which was nominated for a Feminist Porn Award, an honor bestowed by the Toronto-based Good for Her sex store), or browse their wonderfully NSFW Tumblr page. It's sexy and super-informative. You might even see a familiar face. So switch off the YouPorn, stop trying to navigate another depressing pop-up disaster zone, and click your free hand over to Fruit Punch Productions for a good time. It's like a fresh farmer's market for your pants.fruitpunchproductions.com
Best way to get outdoor gear without spending a fortune: Portland Gear HubCountless basements and garages across Maine are filled with bikes, skis, snowshoes, and other outdoor gear that hardly gets used. Meanwhile, thousands of Mainers can't come close to affording the gear they need to safely and comfortably explore Maine's forests, rivers, mountains, and trails. Brooke Burkett, a outdoor educator who lives on Munjoy Hill, came up with a solution for both problems: Create a gear thrift store where people can donate their underused sporting goods (it's tax-deductible!) and other folks can buy them. Burkett opened the Portland Gear Hub last fall in the basement of the YMCA; it has since sold loads of outdoor equipment at affordable prices. Instead of dropping a few hundred dollars to try out cross-country skiing, for example, the Hub sells everything you need — boots, skis, bindings, and poles — for just $20. Ice skates go for $8, adult bikes average about $130, and climbing shoes cost roughly $20. The Gear Hub is about more than selling gear, though. It's primary aim is to use its profits to fund community and youth development programs (there's also a Gear Library, through which youth organizations, after paying a low membership fee, can borrow equipment for kids to use). The Hub has already hosted community workshops on bike repair and this month it starts holding regular "open bench time," when anyone can pay a small fee to use the Hub's bike shop for DIY cycle maintenance.70 Forest Ave, Portland (below the YMCA) | 207.874.1111 | portlandgearhub.org

I am very surprize that nobody as wrote a variogram program for
longitudinal data since its such an important part of analyzing
longitudinal data. Perhaps individuals just wrote their own programs
which they have not 'shared." I think I will try to clone variog2.
