By Nathaniel Y. Yankson
THE INSPECTOR General of Police (IGP), Paul Tawiah Quaye said the recent attacks and killing of police personnel by armed robbers operating in various locations in the country will continue because the gallant officers have become a thorn in their flesh.
According to him, the armed robbers feel offended by the manner in which the police carry out their professional mandate of protecting lives and property effectively.
However, he stressed that the inhumane killing of police personnel by armed robbers in recent times, was "an indication of an assurance of the strength of the police service and the fact that the police are doing what is expected of them without fear or favour."
"When you have a situation where the institutions that have been mandated to protect lives and properties do their work very well, they are considered impediments on the part of those who want to commit crime. They would not like them, they would try to do the best they can to eliminate these boys," the Police boss said.
Mr. Quaye was responding to some questions posed at the usual Meet-The-Press series held at the Ministry of Information in Accra yesterday, and emphasized that "we see these things happening in films, so we thought it is far away from us, but now it is happening in our own backyard."
The phenomenon, he continued, could best be addressed by re-strategizing, while considering it as an issue that ought to be dealt with all seriousness.
Official report released by the Ghana Police Administration recently suggested that two AK 47 assault rifles, a pistol, a bullet-proof vest and a pair of handcuffs were seized from five police personnel at Yikpen, a village near Sandema, in the Upper East Region.
Other bizarre attacks on police personnel include the one against three officers, namely Lance Corporal Osei Bonsu, General Constables Owusu Frimpong and Prince Agyare, who were purportedly molested by a notorious armed robber in Nakpanduri, in the Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo District.
The alleged armed robber, Johnson Kombian, alias 'Gakum' and 'Burger' respectively, opened fire on the three police officers, who were riding motorcycles to their duty posts.
Described by the police as an ex-convict and dangerous to society, and having broken jail, Kombian shot one of the officers, Prince Agyare, who died on his way to the infirmary.
The two others, Frimpong and Bonsu were said to be in very critical conditions at the Nalerigu Baptist Medical Centre. Johnson Kombian has, however, been re-arrested and is facing trial currently.
After presenting reports of the various security agencies, including the Ghana Police Service, the Ghana Immigration Service, Ghana Prisons Service and the Ghana National Fire Service among others, the Minister of the Interior, Martin Amidu, urged the media to collaborate effectively with the security agencies and the Ghana National Commission on Small Arms (GNACSA) to control the proliferation of illegal small arms in the country.
This, according to him, "is to ensure that the socio-economic development of the country is not disrupted by armed conflicts, robberies and other armed related crimes."
He argued that even though people felt unsecured going about their daily duties in the country, it was illegal to resort to possessing guns for self protection.
Mr. Amidu subsequently called on the citizenry to repose confidence in the state security agencies, adding "If we all desire to possess guns illegally to protect ourselves, we shall only end up endangering our lives and our communities, as these same illegal guns may end up being used for inter-communal conflicts, homicides and revenge killings among others."
To him, the ingredients for the development of the other sectors of the nation and for accelerated growth include peace, safety, security and stability, and that all must contribute their widow's mite towards assisting the security agencies for Ghana's development agenda to thrive.
The Minister further mentioned peace education, capacity building programmes, advocacy and third party intervention as some achievements of the National Peace Council. Touching on the crime statistics in the country, Mr. Amidu indicated that it showed an improvement over the previous year.
According to reports he had received, cases of narcotics and rape decreased by 43.9 per cent and 18 per cent respectively, while robbery incidents went down by 1.8 per cent in 2010. "Robbery statistics showed significant decreases in most regions, including Greater Accra (Accra and Tema) and Eastern Regions."
However, the Ashanti, Northern and Upper West Regions, he added, recorded a high crime rate.
He said, street residential and workplace robberies decreased by 12.5 per cent, 15 per cent and 19.4 per cent respectively, while car snatching and highway robberies increased by 31.3 per cent and 9.3 per cent.

Singapore is world's second largest shark-fin trader
Singapore has emerged as the world's second largest trader of shark fins by value after Hong Kong, according to a new report by the wildlife trade monitoring group TRAFFIC.
Shark fins, used in traditional medicine and also considered a delicacy in Asia, are one of the most expensive seafood products. Fishermen typically cut off sharks' fins while the animals are still alive and then thrown them back to the ocean. Unable to swim without their fins, the sharks drown or are eaten by other predators. Scientists estimate that about 100 million sharks are killed every year, mostly for their fins.
TRAFFIC analyzed Singapore's shark trading data from 2005 to 2007, and also 2012 to 2014, and found that Singapore imported 14,114 metric tons and exported 12,402 metric tons of shark fins over these six years.
According to trade records in 2012-2013, Singapore's shark fin exports were worth $40 million, closely following Hong Kong's $45 million. More than 72 percent of Singapore's shark fin exports went to Hong Kong, mainland China and Japan during this time period.
The recorded value of Singapore's import trade in 2012-2013 was $51.4 million, while Hong Kong's was $170 million. Spain, Namibia and Uruguay were the top three sources of shark fins during this period, accounting for more than 66 percent of Singapore's imports.

Cayman Islands: Turtle tourist centre also raises endangered turtles for meat
At the Cayman Turtle Centre tourists can kiss, hug, and pass around young sea turtles. They can even take a swim with bigger ones if they want. It's billed as a rare opportunity to come into contact with endangered green sea turtles, a migratory species whose numbers are on the decline because of egg poaching, habitat degradation, and entanglement with fishing nets.
What many visitors don't realize is that it's also a sea turtle farm, where the rare turtles are bred in captivity to be killed for their meat, a traditional dish in the Caymans.
But the meat business is only part of the reason this government-owned facility is facing criticism from animal protection organizations. It's also the way the animals are treated, says Neil D'Cruze, a researcher with the London-based nonprofit World Animal Protection, which wants to end sea turtle farming.

Call to keep secrets on rare species draws reluctant support
The extent to which rare animal poachers piggyback on scientific research became clear to Mark Auliya soon after he published a 2012 paper announcing the discovery of the Borneo earless monitor lizard (Lanthanotus borneensis) in a new part of the southeast Asian island.
The conservation biologist at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Leipzig, Germany, had left the lizards' location vague, in an attempt to shield the animal from collectors and their suppliers. Nevertheless, within a year, the lizard was turning up outside Borneo.
So Auliya embraces a new call, published today in Science, for scientists to keep mum about details that could turn rare and sought-after species into the next easy target for the global wild animal trade. "It's terrible," he says. "If you describe a new species in the Democratic Republic of Congo, you should probably only list the country."

Calcomp plotter and about mine, based on the pictures I've posted of
both on my PDP-8 Web page. I've responded privately and he and I will
discuss details. Any results of note will be on my PDP-8 page or

Addtional photos on my PDP-8 Web page now include a picture of the pen

excellent PDP-8 and Calcomp plotter Web pages. Thank you to David.
David's site is linked from my Web page.
In due course, I expect MARCH to create their own Web page, on the
MARCH Web site, about the RESISTORS/Kagan PDP-8 and related devices.
There is considerable history about this donation which MARCH should
explore with Claude and put on a MARCH-generated Web page and into
documents associated with MARCH's PDP-8 display. I just got things
started, as did Bill with his photos, and Evan by setting up the '8
for display; and as other MARCH friends and members contributed their
efforts. (Those contributions are better noted on a MARCH Web page
than on mine.)
I'm busy enough, working on a PDP-11/20 display for MARCH.
Otherwise, as I've posted, I'm willing to work on the Calcomp plotter
because I have what is likely to be a duplicate, working unit. And I
need parts for mine as well!

pictures of his PDP-8/I exhibit.
John, about your "zoom and enhance". Here's an idea, others can
participate. The '8 Web page has photos of the modules on either side
of the PDP-8. Why not "zoom" in and make a text table of the modules
by name? Someone will have to do that eventually to inventory the
modules, see that they are in their proper places, and see if any are
missing or needed. A table of "original" positions, before any work is
done, will be a useful reference.
Just give me time to add higher-resolution images to that page.
I've done this for the 11/20, on its Web page.

That's a fine web page about the plotter. The manuals are greatly
appreciated. It would be great seeing the Plotter Excerciser and
Plotter Diagnostic running the plotter again.
I have the IBM 1627 model 1 as shown in
I used it on the IBM system 1130 at college and got to keep it when
the systems were scrapped/decommissioned (no space!) I wrote FORTRAN
programs to generate Bode plots on the semilog paper, pausing to
change pen color for phase and magnitude.
They're actually made by Calcomp (and the 1130's paper tape reader was
actually made by Tally).
The interface is /really dumb/: just wires for
+X one step (1/100 inch)
-X one step
+Y one step
-Y one step
pen up
pen down
I have the IBM manuals for the plotter. It's an amazing amount of
transistorized circuitry for just advancing the stepper motors without
anything fancy such as slewing them motors.
I have at least 50 paper rolls for it (one foot by about 100 feet) but
most are pre-printed with semilog and log-log scales.
Yes, the takeup spool was just a spare cardboard tube from the paper
roll. The drum was large enough to tape a letter sized paper on it
(preferably with drafting tape so it removes completely without residue).
When I can dig out the fitted wood accessory boxes, I'll photograph
all the pieces
- the solenoid used for all pen types
- the sleeve and low top for the small ballpoint pens
- the sleeve and high top for the pressurized ballpoint pens
- the tip, barrel, collar, ink reservoir and hollow top for the
drafting pens
- the small glass alignment reticle with crosshairs for aligning the
carriage using the holder one inch above the pen (the program had to
move back one inch since it's not reasonable for the operator to count
100 single steps). (the Bendix carriage does not have that).
- the large glass alignment reticle with crosshairs that goes into the
pen holder for aligning where the pen goes.
The hollow top for the drafting pen also allowed felt tip pens that
were fitted with a metal ring.

Thanks for the Web link and your compliments about Dave's Web page.
I've added the IBM link to "my" PDP-8 Web page. In due course I'll add
your plotter comments here as a description there, with your

I'll photograph it while in process.
Hmmm...this bit of work may evolve into a permanent Calcomp plotter
Web page on my (retrotechnology.com) Web site. Ultimately I presume
MARCH will have their own PDP-8 Web page with other bits like the
plotter, TTY, any papertape reader MARCH comes up with).

- Today was the first day our '8 was on public display at the museum. We had
a typical amount of visitors today (around a dozen), most of whom seemed
very into computers (sometimes they're not). Everyone today had that 'wow'
expression when they saw the minicomputer. :)
NJARC's Harry Klancer was particularly happy to see it in our museum,
because he used to work on the same model. I suggested to him that he sign
on to our list here...
Tuesday night, I'm meeting the plastics guy (see thread below). Going to
bring him the intact side of the '8 cover so he can take measurements and
assess whether it's feasible to make two replicas at a decent price for us.
(Dont worry, I am NOT leaving the original cover with him.)
I had to bring the cover home today in the passenger seat because it doesn't
fit in my trunk!

Chapter 28.2Mature
Catalin raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "Is that wise?"
"Onyx is not only a good friend but a member of the brotherhood and a noble. I trust him with my life."
Catalin didn't seem convinced but said no more. Beth stepped out of Robert's embrace.
"I'll see you tomorrow," he said. He leant in so he could whisper in her ear. "And tell Emily that if you get hurt, I'll change my mind about her contract."
"You wouldn't," Beth said, stepping back again.
"Don't try me. Stay safe."
The vulture made a noise, drawing Robert's attention. After a few moments, he shook his head. He glanced between Beth and Catalin and Alex before flying out of the window.
Everyone else in the room seemed to be coming to, looking around as if in a daze. They didn't remember a thing. Beth rushed to get back to her place.
"Right, okay," said Mrs Lewis. "Today we'll be discussing the adaptations of bearded dragons."
And that was it, as if nothing had ever happened. Beth looked up and Catalin met her gaze. She focused back on the teacher when she began talking.
The day dragged by as Beth's brain kept spouting what ifs at her. What if Robert hadn't come? What if Rosalyn had beaten him?
She stopped in the middle of the corridor as a thought hit her: Robert had turned into a panther. If he could be a panther, what else could he be? She shook her head and kept walking. Emily was watching her curiously as the two of them walked side by side.
Beth pulled her overnight bag higher up on her shoulder. Emily's mum, Jess, was picking them up and Beth needed to prepare for the onslaught of questions from Jess. She took a deep breath.
"What happened this morning, Beth?" Emily asked quietly. "In biology with Mrs Lewis. There's a complete gap in my memory and gaps like that don't happen without interference."
"I don't know what you mean," Beth mumbled.
"Don't lie, Beth. I know that you know what I am. I know that Robert told you; he said he was going to."
"You've spoken to him?"
"He asked me to invite you for a sleepover, so you wouldn't be on your own. Very sneakily, I might add."
"I guess I should have guessed he was going to do something like that."
"Beth, what happened in biology?"
"There was a snake, and then Robert flies in and starts attacking it. It turns into a bobcat, Robert turns into a panther, they fight and then Robert's holding a woman against the wall with a knife at her throat. The woman turns out to be Rosalyn, the evil demon who's trying to kill us all. He also told me to tell you that if I get hurt, he'll change his mind about your contract."
Emily laughed. "I would expect nothing less; I gave my solemn vow to him that I would protect you. If I failed in that, I would willingly accept my punishment."

Fading AwayMature
I awoke for the fourth time that night, shaken by the unconscious recollection of my violation. I turned to the clock, my eyes beginning to water because of the sudden light. Peering through the blurring liquid, I saw that it was three in the morning. Blinking away the moisture, I lay down, knowing that sleep would overpower me again soon, and I would replay my anguish. I hated being overpowered. I longed to stay awake, to defeat the will to sleep, to remind myself that I could make my own decisions. I sat up, pulled back the cover and stood up, holding on to my bedside table to steady myself. I looked down at my legs, saw them struggling to keep me upright, like withering tree trunks. I steadied myself, before moving slowly towards the bathroom.
I took a cup from the windowsill. It was cold in my grasp, its indifference soothing to my invaded mind. I filled it with water and drank, tilting my head back gently. As I did so, I caught my own gaze in the mirror, staring back with dry, red eyes, duller than those of a cow chewing cud. Although my filthy secret tore at my heart with its yellow teeth, there were no more tears left, no more self pity. Only pain, regret, and a deep hollow emptiness where happiness once lived. My hair hung limply from my head, messy and tired, much like its owner. I sighed, before leaving the bathroom and wandering back down the corridor, passing the room in which my parents slept. They were so besotted with their work, they had not realised that their daughter Tessa had changed so much.
I entered my room quietly, but I did not go back to bed; I walked around it, taking in every little detail of my dwelling space. As I passed the desk, I saw a photograph of the old Tessa with her friends. I did not know her anymore; her smile, her cheerful eyes, her healthy figure were dead to me now. I laid down on my bed, placing my hands on my stomach. I gently lifted my pyjama top, allowing myself to look at my body. I felt my bones as they tried to force themselves through the thin, almost translucent skin. In my mind, the memory of his hands burned so brightly that I saw the marks he had left once again. His handprints covered my whole body as I felt them again, felt him again, touching me, forcing himself inside me. As he placed his hands on my breasts, I screamed.
My eyes snapped open as my parents ran into the room and my mother held me in her arms. I pushed her away. "What's wrong, Tessa?"
"Just another bad dream." She kissed my forehead and sighed.
"You have so many bad dreams, Tessa, it frightens me. Are you sure you cannot tell me what happens in them?"
"It's nothing, mum. Just go back to bed. Please." My parents obeyed me, and left the room, shutting the door behind them. They left me alone with my memories as I flopped onto the pillow. Suddenly, I sat up, something rising in my throat. I bolted to the window and forced it open. A mixture of blood, vomit and tears fell to the ground. I turned and leant against the wall, my legs failing beneath me. I slid down the wall slowly, holding my abused head in my hands. As I knelt on the floor, slipping beneath the depths of my memories, I shouted into my palms.
"Let! Me! Die!"

LeftLiberty 1-2: Individualism, Socialism, and Solidarity
Starting in July, I'll be producing a new journal/zine, called "LeftLiberty," and dedicated to "the left-libertarian conversation in all its phases and ages." It's connected to the project of the Alliance of the Libertarian Left, and focuses on clarifying what is really at stake in some of the messier debates in the broad anarchist movement.
Issues will be arranged around key concepts with the first two issues addressing "Individualism, Socialism, and Solidarity." I'm finishing up a translation of Pierre Leroux's 1834 "Individualism and Socialism" for the first issue, which will also include a "miscellany" of early anarchist texts on individualism and socialism, from Proudhon, Dejacque, Greene, Tucker, Warren, and others.
But one of the goals is to also canvas contemporary anarchists, libertarians and fellow-travellers for their thoughts on these concepts, in order to get a picture of the actual "state of the debates." With that in mind, I'm throwing out a general call for answers to these questions:
* What is "socialism"?
* What is "individualism"?
* What is "solidarity"?
* What role, if any, do these concepts have in anarchism?
I'll try to stitch together an overview from the contributions, and will credit everyone who responds. All contributions will appear in the electronic version of the issue, in the new wiki-based "Labyrinth" archive. The print version will include representative excerpts.
More details at the "Labyrinth."
Thanks in advance to all contributors.

Enclosed in Screams
The house. She screams so loud for so long,
echoing in the air vents and reverberating through dinner silverware,
as if pummeled repeatedly by an earthquake, and
finally she stops and regains her footing.
She settles and begs me to write.
"Write the poetry of my screams."
Write about the prayers beneath the floorboards,
the whispers through the walls, the glitches in the video
games, and the monotony of the clock.
They talk to me about what happened while I was away.
They tell me to break the signs that say "love" and "family"
and burn them in the fireplace that holds the ashes of a marriage.
The pillows tell me they've housed too many tears and now
they are made of pure sadness and not even I can help them.
They're deflated and hard to the head.
They make for uneasy sleep.
They tell me my mother went through the photo albums
and tore up her life, every last bit, and now she is empty
of the memories, good and bad, and I can't preserve her remains.
The screams, so many screams.
My house is shouting, but no one can hear it.
"I am crumbling
c r u
m b l
i n g."
The screams cease.
The house settles.

Guy Gets McDonalds Reciept Tattoo
An 18-year-old Swedish man recently got a tattoo of his actual McDonald's receipt on his forearm.
He says (Roughly Translated) "A couple of my friends thought I had been a little too active on women's front in the past and would punish me."
Born and Raised in West Michigan . Most of your probably know me as 'Internio'. I started as an intern and the name stuck. But after years of explaining it and NOT being an intern, I decided it was time for a change.
I am a huge fan of the Detroit lions and the NFL in general. Which has caused me to play a ton of Fantasy Football.
I am a fashion nerd --mostly shoes, but really everything.
I love food, but also try to watch my fitness. Sometimes the two don't line up!
I couldn't go a day with out my phone, laptop or PS4. Yes in that order.
Snapchat has taken over my life: mikeonmyradio
Mike is the recent addition to the Mojo in the Morning show. Which can now be heard on the east and west side of Michigan. He can also be heard (M-Fri) starting on 10a on 1045 SNX.
Mike has shared the stage with Justin Bieber, Flo Rida, B.O.B, Ludacris, LMFAO, Ed Sheeran and some of today's biggest artist. His DJ mixes have been featured on West Michigan's #1 Afternoon drive mix show 'The Beatdown'.
Mikeis a huge believer in giving back to the community and has teamed up with several organizations to show his support: The Salvation Army, Kent County Prevention Coalition, Special Olympics Michigan, and the Gilda's Club.
Recently Mike worked alongside President Ford's Daughter, Susan Ford, as a guest Emcee/DJ for the Spectrum Health: Ribbon of Hope "A Betty Ford Breast Cancer Awareness Event."

Night of the Theiving DeadMature
Eddie, Godfrey and Charles were back at Eddie's house, which was a shit tip.
They were all sat down on a shitty couch, it was shit.
"Shit," said Eddie, "this couch is shit!".
"I concur, it is in fact...shit." agreed Godfrey.
"Ah well, it's my shitty couch..." said Eddie.
"This isn't about your shitty couch, Eddie, is it?" asked Charles.
"No, it's got shit all to do with my shitty couch. It's Tyrone." Eddie replied.
Eddie did not have to say that, everyone all knew it was about Tyrone and not his shitty couch.
"Yeah, don't worry about Tryone, he'll come to his senses eventually. The important thing is that we're here with you, and that you're alright. It's a shame we had to kill that guy for his blood on the way, but it was for a good cause. Shitty couch." explained Charles.
Charles was a tall guy, so tall that he looked silly on the shitty couch, but he knew what he was talking about.
"Yeah, you're right. We should get off this shitty couch and do what we always used to do." proclaimed Eddie.
"Yeah, man, I'm with you all the way, shitty couch!" said Charles.
"Did you just call me shitty couch?" asked Eddie.
"Haha, I think he did call you shitty couch!" laughed Godfrey.
"Haha, I actually did call you shitty couch, that's weird, man!" Charles laughed along.
"Haha. Let's go steal another shitty couch. Let's go rob another house." said Eddie.
"Yeah, there is another shitty couch in this neighbourhood that we want." agreed Charles.
"Affirmative, this cannot be the only shitty couch in this neighbourhood!" said Godfrey.
So they all rose from the shitty couch, except Godfrey who was on an equally shitty armchair. Then they all high-fived eachother and yelled "Team!".

Here are 4 easy ways to fix the NBA Draft
The Philadelphia 76ers will be picking first in this year's NBA Draft, realizing a three-year tanking process that finally netted them a top-2 pick and which caused many basketball analysts to nearly lose their minds talking about how to end the scourge of tanking once and for all. Well, it's simple. I've gone over this before, but I'll do it one more time to illustrate how much better the NBA draft process could be with a few simple changes. Reduce the number of lottery teams Letting every single team in the lottery is stupid. What does the NBA get...Read More

Art Print
The Murder of Lincoln | Bioshock Infiniteby Alan Kennedy
Collect your choice of gallery quality Giclée, or fine art prints custom trimmed by hand in a variety of sizes with a white border for framing.
Propaganda is a strong motif in Bioshock Infinite and manifested in various ways. Demonization is a tactic used to turn people subhuman or evil and was utilized by The Founders, especially the Fraternal Order of the Raven, against Lincoln. This was prominent in the paintings that hung in their headquarters.
Another propaganda tactic is the use of famous and beloved dead people as puppets to tie to an agenda. Infinite took that concept and ran with it, turning founding fathers into automatons that symbolized a group's beliefs and did their bidding…at the barrel-end of a gatling gun.
Both of these tactics are a form of character manipulation and were used to create one of my favorite things in the game, the "Evil Lincoln" depiction.

I have also started another part time job. I am helping a Chiropractor's office with their marketing. It's a fun job that I can do entirely from home. I have really enjoyed the research I have done so far, and I look forward to creating their marketing calendar! It's also nice to be able to use my degree somewhat (something I haven't gotten to do entirely since college).
Trent has been doing great, and he is helping me a lot with the kids! I've been getting overwhelmed with the holidays, the second job, and just basic housekeeping. Trent has been so supportive, and I can't thank him enough for that! He has been somewhat busy at work (more busy than he has since the recession hit Brookings), so the extra time has been good for him. He luckily never lost his job with the market the way it is, but he has been down to 40 hours now for a year and a half. Before that he was always working at least 50 hour weeks. So it's nice to see some work right before the holidays. However, I'm sure it will slow down again after Christmas.
We both are still adjusting to having two kids. I actually have a half post that's been sitting out in blogland about this topic. I prepared Emme for having a sibling, I prepared myself for bonding with him, but I NEVER prepared myself for having two kids. And having two kids that are 15 months apart! It's been an experience, but we are all getting the hang of it (slowly, but we are getting there).
The kids are doing great. Miss E's imagination is running wild now, and she is making us laugh a lot! Just last week she was playing in her Cozy Coupe Little Tikes car (it's Leo's really, but she thinks it's hers). Trent and I were making dinner, and all of the sudden I heard "I want some chicken, and burgers, and chocy milk". I look over and she is yelling into the oven window. We realized that she was ordering food from a drive thru! Does that show you how much we have been on the go lately?!? She would REALLY like for Santa to turn her into a princess, but I don't know if that wish will be coming true this year... And she has been getting a lot better with her little brother. We still have a few moments every day, but she is now learning the rules on dealing with him.
Leo is such a fun kid to have around! He is very vocal. He has said "hat", "one", "two", "hello", "hi", "mama", and "Dad". Actually Leo's favorite word is "Dad". It is so cute, he looks at Trent and says "DAD" in this wobbly little voice! He is constantly copying noises he hears, and you can just see his mind a-working trying to figure out how to talk like us! Mr. Man is SO close to walking, he just doesn't have the self esteem yet. He barely hangs onto us when walking, but he panics when we let go. Last night he took a few steps for me, so we were excited to see him trying now!! He turned the big OH-ONE a couple of weeks ago, and he is getting to be such a big boy.
Leo has been battling ear infections for the last month & a half. He has now been on three different antibiotics. It didn't help that on top of the ear infections he has dealt with two new teeth and pink eye. Needless to say, we haven't gotten tons of sleep around here in the last month. His teeth have now cut through, so his sleeping has been better. And he has been a lot happier this last week. So things may be looking up!
I guess that's about all I have for now! We just got a new computer, because our old PC has been on the verge of collapse for sometime now. The modem went out on it, so we have a new laptop that I'm now in love with. I'm just starting my research, but I think I can legally leave my husband for a piece of machinery. Don't quote me on that though, I'm still trying to figure that one out! But downloading picture can now be done faster (my card reader was out on my computer as well), so there may be quite a few picture posts in the near future!
Ta-ta for now!

I have a xbmc android box that is a few years old. For some reason I have lost my wifi connection and can not seem to connect. I am not a tech person and getting frustrated can anyone help.
I go to settings, wi-fi, then top title bar click "on" then it grays out the blue is go and can not use button anymore. The screen to the right of the menu column is gray and says "turning wifi on..."
That is it it never shows me a list of available internet connections.
Any ideas what to do??????
First thing I would do is try hard wiring it and make sure that the internet is working in the box.Then you may have to do a factory reset and start over not sure what box you have but sometimes the internal chips can go bad.Other then that if wiring it works the only other thing you can do is but a new box and please do not buy the pre loaded crap get a plain android box with stock firmware and program it yourself hope this gives you a direction to go

Helena: awkward meeting
Having heard my fathers plans, I know immediately I need to warn the Avengers. The kids never did anything to deserve this.
Decision made, I head to the kitchens, find the portal and head through it, thinking of my cousin, Demetria.
So as not to frighten her enough to hammer me to death, I decide to cloak myself and float at the roof.
The sounds of the shower turn of. Five minutes later, she comes back into the living room and sits, ready to watch the television box.
"Hi" I hear myself say. She jumps up from her seat and spins around, shock and fear in her eyes. A grin lights up my face at her confusion but I decide to speak. I am not my brother. "Up here." I say, uncloaking my self from her.
"What...who are you?" Demetria asks me. I catch sight of her fingers twitching and feel my hair curling as electricity begins to build. My heart hammers but I do not show it.
"Woah! Wait! I'm Helena. I need to speak to you." I tell her, raising my hands in the mid guardian way of surrender.
"I don't know a Helena." Demetria tells me, the electricity not getting any lighter. I can't help the roll of my eyes at that statement.
"No, but I know you." I tell her lightly.
"Come down, then we can talk." I relax as she accepts the conversation but I don't relax fully, there is still the sense of electricity in the room. If I am caught of guard, I am pretty sure a shock would HURT.
"Ok." I say allowed as I let myself down, making sure to put space between us, enough for a protective shield if I need it.
"Alright. Helena who?" Demetria asks first. I take a deep breath before speaking, making sure a shield is ready to spring in place.
"Helena, daughter of Loki." I say, steeling a look into her eyes. I see her figure out who I am. I don't see any anger.
"Loki..." She says, working out where she heard the name.
Realisation dawns on her face.
"You are my cousin. What are you doing here?" She asks. Straight to the point. I think I am beginning to like her.
I am not sure how to begin.
"I had to see you..." I start but it doesn't sound right. I have seen her. "I have something to tell you." I say, deciding it sounds better.
"Why should I trust anything you say? Your father..." I see the immediate mistrust in her eyes and can't help but feel hurt inside. Am I to be forever not trusted because of my bloodline?
"Yes I know. But this is not for him. This is because I can't stand what he is planning." I tell her, hoping she will listen.
"What makes you think I'd believe you?" Is her predictable reply.
"Because I'm telling the truth." I tell her with serenity. She raises an eyebrow but doesn't interrupt. I continue.
"My brother..."
"Wait, you have a brother?" She asks me her tension making the rooms electricity raise a notch higher.
"Yes. Lucifer. And he wants revenge on what your parents did to father." I tell her. "He wants to hurt them by taking all of you."
"And why are you warning me?" She asks. It takes me a minute to answer. I did not receive my fathers "silver" tongue. Lucifer got that. I eventually find an answer.
"Because I am sick of being downgraded by him. He is the perfect child. I am just the left over girl. I am sick of it."
"So you are warning us for revenge on your brother?" Demetria asks. I know I said the wrong thing.
"No! Well, yes. A bit. But it's mainly because you did nothing wrong. Non of you guys did or your parents. It was Father who was in the wrong." I tell her.
Helena. Come to my chambers. I need you to help with something. I wince at my brothers commanding mental voice.
"Just, remember what I said. Warn the others." I tell her as I start to open a portal.
"Where are you going? Why can't you warn them?" Demetria asks as the portal appears next to me. I guess she is used to it, having seen Thor go through one.
"I have to go. Otherwise Lucifer will know I warned you. Please, don't let him get you." I say as I step though the portal, directly into my brothers room.
"Helena." He greets me.
"Lucifer." I say back, refusing to meet his eyes.
"You have betrayed me. Our father. How could you do that?" He asks me, I risk a look into his eyes. The anger, disappointment and plain rage terrify me.
"Tell me or watch your little avenger friends die." he sneers.
"They did nothing to you." I tell him slowly, diplomatically.
"Really? Well I am going to do something to them!" Lucifer shouts as he turns, opens a portal and steps through it.
"Lucifer, don't!" I scream too late. He vanishes.
I go to open a portal of my own to find it will not obey me.
You really should pay more attention in class Helena. Lucifer tells me. Realising he has locked his room from any means of escape, I slump back onto his bed and try and fight the tears screaming at me to allow them freedom.

« Luxury Company Naming is a Miner's Best Friend | Main | What Would the Marlboro Man say About Snus Brand Naming? »
June 8, 2007
Martini Brand Naming Gets a Makeover
I was interested to finally read an in-depth piece on the new Martini Rosato brand name, Martini's new rosé-style vermouth that is "designed to grow frequency of consumption amongst Martini's four million light and infrequent (one to four drinks per month) drinkers as well as reversing the brand's outdated perceptions."
The new product is pink, a combo of white and red wines, and the new bottle design is sexier and more feminine.
The logo has been centered and put in the foreground, and the labeling has been changed to "give a bright, transparent and modern feel" with the goal of increasing "brand iconicity."
Martini lovers know that George Clooney has been brought in to give an extra appeal to women and the macho stamp of approval for men.
The company has a sponsorship deal with Oceans 13 and until June 11 you can get free samples at a "terrazza" just off London's Oxford Street.
The old standby bottles (Bianco and Rosso, for the uninitiated, as well as a few others including the sexy Fiero and the too cute Martini Mini) have been revamped as well.
There are two things that strike me here:
- First of all, the smooth, sexy, hourglass shape of the bottle as well as the whole tenor of the new product and its naming is clearly designed to make this product appeal to women more than men. I have to wonder if all those martinis that were tossed down by the Sex in the City girls had something to do with this.
- Secondly, the recipes that are on the bottles designed to help people at home make fruity, easy drinking concoctions are aimed at women: let's face it, what guy is going to mix himself a Martini Rosato over pomegranate juice or a Rosso and cranberry?
OK, somebody has to say it: what about, you know, martinis?
Could it be that the Martini brand name is actually moving away from the drink that makes it recognizable in the first place?
Obviously, the problem here is that people like martinis, they enjoy them fairly regularly, but only on a Friday night (four times a month), and when they do, they use only a few drops to a half jigger of vermouth. Winston Churchill, a great martini drinker, used to simply whisper the word "vermouth" over his martinis; some people actually only spray the gin with vermouth.
What we are seeing here is a subtle repositioning of the entire vermouth brand, aiming it at a whole new target market. Martini marketing manager Caroline Herbert says they are trying to aim the product at "lighter drinkers" (e.g. people who do not drink martinis regularly, which would be most of the non-drinking middle class) and "we are doing fundamental things that will make people see the brand in a different way."
A current weekly martini drinker might feel sort of left out even though like most hardcore martini lovers they like extra-dry vermouth, which Martini has also redesigned and repositioned.
And that might not be a good thing: educated males in their 30s who like martinis are likely to ask themselves what the Martini icon James Bond would do in a situation like this. My feeling is that he'd go for a more traditional vermouth like arch competitor Martini & Rossi.
Sorry, George.

Police: SC student arrested at school for helping suspects escape to Florida
by: Greg Suskin Updated:
ROCK HILL, S.C. - Police went to South Pointe High School and arrested one of Kenyan McClinton's friends.
He and two others are charged in the murder of Jordan Poirier last week.
Channel 9 reporter Greg Suskin was at the school around 9:30 a.m. when police arrested Shakira McCullough, 18.
Police said she is a friend of McClinton and is charged as an accessory to murder, police said.
McCullough's bond was denied by a judge on Tuesday afternoon.
Detectives were still searching for McClinton's mother and sister who they said also have warrants out for accessory after the fact of murder.
Suskin reported the suspect's mother, Arliver Nicole McClinton, 40, and his sister, Deemetria Onika McClinton, 25, turned themselves in Tuesday.
McClinton, Desmond Cunningham and Laterrious Ashley are all charged in the shooting death of Poirier.
It happened one week ago at Stone Haven Pointe apartments on Celanese Road.
Ashley was hurt in a shootout with the victim and has been in a Charlotte hospital.
Cunningham and McClinton fled to Florida and turned themselves in Monday afternoon in the Kissimmee area.
The three men accused could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Kate: Not again.
I backed away, then I noticed that Ara had taken root behind Raven.
Oh God, not again.
Korma was the leader of the five, an evil group of people who controlled the elements and were able to control thought, and create various creatures. Two of the five joined Raven and I in our quest to kill Korma, we were luckly. During the last battle, I had to absorb the powers and spirits of Wyatt, Candace, Argus and Steton all to summon the ultimate being: Atomos. When Atomos ate Korma he then trapped himself in an alternate dimension, so as to keep everyone safe. But now, Korma was standing right there, there was no one for me to sacrifice, and I was a bit rusty with my powers. Then, he turned to me.
"Why, hello Kate." The gaping wound in his chest seemed to sneer at me, proving to the world that he could not bleed. "It's been a long time. Tell me, how are you going to summon Atomos this time?"
Ara looked at me confused.
"It's a long story." I simply said, then I turned my attention back to Korma. "Look, I don't know how but somehow we will kill you."
Then Korma began to laugh, he bucked to his knees laughing. Then, Raven took out his sword and in a flash cut off Korma's head, I watched at the head flew through the air and rolled away. Then, the body of Korma's fell to the ground, and turned golden, and then to mist. I quickly looked at Raven.
"He's going to attack again, and soon. We need to prepare ourselves for it."
Then Ara spoke up.
"But, he just died."
I stared at him, not blinking.
"No, he made you think he just died. In reality, he's probably hiding somewhere gathering data and finding out how to kill us all. We need to band together to somehow kill him."
Ara simply nodded. Then, Raven sheathed his sword and walked away. I went to follow him and we both sat on the couch.
"I thought we were done this." He whispered.
"We were, 107 years ago."

Day One.1
I hear a bark in the distance. All the lights are on behind the cappuccino-colored counter. I want to venture in the back but my legs won't take me. I'm not afraid per se, but I'm also not ready to start wandering through the backroom just to look for coffee when I can make some at home.
Tossing my empty Gatorade in the garbage on my way out, I cross back to Radio Shack and grab my phone and charger. The store is still vacant.
I begin to walk back towards my house and from behind the corner of the brick business park wall an oversized pit bull leaps in front of me. Sharp barks punctuate the air around me. The dog seems irritated but not rabid. I just stand still, flinching with every short growl. I never really understood dogs, in general. Something about this sound in the empty air becomes unnerving after several moments. I'm not the type of person to discipline other people's dogs, so when the shaky words, "Shut up!" tumble out of my mouth I don't know how to follow them. Amazingly, the dog now stands rigid, staring at me.
"Go home!"
I slowly make my way around the pit bull, who keeps his eyes on me the entire time but doesn't move. As I walk up towards home I notice that at 8:47AM I have yet to see a car.
I enter my home and my roommates are still missing in action. I turn on the television, maybe there's some kind of festival today. Or there has been some kind of tragedy, God forbid. But as I flip through the major network channels all that appears is static. After a while I realize I'm hoping to see the Broadcasting Network Alert, but there isn't one. Not one. Just static on every single channel.
Reaching behind the television I check to make sure the cables are all connected. They are, and I try again with similar results. I go to turn on my computer but the power button does nothing. My computer is always on the fritz though.
Maybe it's time for a nap. I got, what? Maybe four hours of sleep? Besides, the roommates will be home soon enough to fill me in and get ready for round two. If they weren't drinking already. A yawn is pulled out of me, stretching my eyes and throat. Yes, a nap will be just the thing to clear my head.

Splat: S/T 7"
Saucepan Records
This debut 7" from Splat comes at you swiftly with twangy/fuzzed out guitars, fast drums and smooth bass lines. Featuring members of BAD NOIDS and FAT VEGAN, this 3-piece is the second incarnation of the band and they definitely have a fuller sound and stray from the ordinary with catchy yet messy leads and fumbling drum rolls. No doubt birthed among a ton of shit bear and sub par weed. 8 tracks of pure punk rock bliss.Tags: 10s 65804 hardcore punk raw recommended ushc yoobl

Waka Flocka Cleared Of Drug Charges
Waka Flocka Flame can rest a little easier now and focus on Hot97s Summer Jam because a grand jury just cleared the rapper of all drug related charges stemming from a police raid. Due to the fact that their was not enough evidence against Waka to warrant a trial for the drug charges filed against him. Cops raided Waka's Georgia home back in December and arrested several people — including fellow rapper Gucci Mane. Waka was not home during the raid.

|Greater St. Helens 2A
R. A. Long High School is the oldest high school serving the city of Longview, Washington. It was erected in 1927, three years after the city of Longview was incorporated. The total student enrollment at the end of the 2015-2016 school year was 890. The school is named for the city's founder, Robert A. Long, a wealthy timber baron from Missouri. Their mascot, the Lumberjack, was so named due to the area's reliance on the timber industry. Some[who?] have tried to ascribe the name "Lumberjill" to female students and sports teams. The school is on the city Historical Register, with the following inscription:
"This school, a gift to the City of Longview by Robert A. Long, was designed by William B. Ittner. The two story Corinthian columns and clock tower dominates the Georgian Revival style. The 900-seat auditorium serves as an educational and cultural center. The building and grounds are listed on the National Register of Historic Places."
Student body and curriculum[edit]
Every senior at R. A. Long is required to complete a senior project consisting of a research paper and fifteen hours of work in order to graduate; one hour must include some form of community service.
Many classes and programs in the Longview school district are shared between both R. A. Long and Mark Morris High School, such as the Dana Brown Mainstage Theatre program, higher level math, science, and language classes, and the orchestra.
In the past, it has been a tradition at R. A. Long for graduating seniors to hand off a small token or gift to the current principal, often taking the form of a monetary sum based on the year, paper cups from local fast-food restaurants, or playing cards with Mitchell.
Lumberjack sports[edit]
R. A. Long High School currently competes in the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) Greater St. Helens 2A league. The football team shares the Longview Memorial Stadium with cross-town rival Mark Morris High School. The basketball team competes in the R. A. Long Gymnasium, playing in two "Civil War" games versus Mark Morris each year. One is held at R. A. Long and the other on Mark Morris's Ted M. Natt Court. The football team also plays at least one game a year against Mark Morris, again called the Civil War.
