I have to agree with the OP on this one. Despite the best efforts of law enforcement and attorneys hoping to find a statute to the contrary, the subject of the story was doing nothing illegal and was prevented from exercising the most basic of all civil rights in this country, the right of a law-abiding citizen of legal age to vote. In Ohio, a state in which signage has the weight of law, the mere posting of the premises would have precluded his right to legally carry, openly or concealed, but Indiana has no such statute. Similarly, he would have not been legal in a state which prohibits weapons in or near polling places. In Indiana, however, he broke no law and was wrongfully prevented from voting. I hope he pursues it and prevails.

The cops could have just escorted him in, waited for him to vote and walked him out. Seems to me that would have been the most efficient use of time. They could have done this before or after the hour and a half.
I do not understand this. The man broke no laws. The authorities were the one that were out of line and some still want to blame the victim? Do you not see the danger in allowing the government to make up laws as they go when it suits them?
Who is more dangerous? A man who is breaking no laws or a government that is above the law?
Its not that simple Mike. I would put that in the disturbing the peace category and interference with a polling place.
He had to know he was going to cause a fuss.

If it is legal for him to be there, it is legal for him to be there. He was not wasting people's time, if anything they were wasting his time. Although I would venture to say that educating the police on the laws is a very good use of time. If anyone needs to know what the law says, it's them, and clearly they didn't.
Walk softly ...
How is it a "stunt" , a "remarkable feat performed chiefly to attract attention"? And how is it that people can get behind the prohibition of the exercise of rights when it involves interaction with government? Government is the reason we need to have the rights codified into law. Joe Schmoe walking down the street isn't going to kidnap you and throw you in a cage for doing something that doesn't sit right with the Schmoe Family. But the legal fiction we call the government, you know, the people who REALLY have all the guns, and claim the exclusive right of use of all weapons to their own discretion, would be more than happy to oblige. What happened here is that laws WERE broken. By the people we designate to uphold them. How is that a functioning system?

SUBMITTED: Friday, January 24, 2014POSTED: Friday, January 24, 2014
These problems are not just the Siegel Suites Bonanza Property, it's all the Siegel Suites Properties. The company "Siegel Suites" buys the worst run-down crappy motels in bad neighborhoods, and paints the outside, wraps a steel gate around them. Then they do alot of heavy advertising, as nice family hotels. Alot of drugs, prostitution, and sex offenders live there, because they do no background, credit checks or even require a deposit to live there. Thats why the rooms are so nasty, just take peoples money, and let them trash the rooms.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

The really disquieting thing about David Cameron's conference speech to the Tory faithful last Wednesday – at any rate, from the angle of the left-leaning sceptic – was the relish one took in the rage of some of his targets. All through the conference, in fact, I found myself making a note of the various institutions whose squeals of pain could be heard filtering up through the television studios, and registering a profound gratification in their exposure. Just as the sight of the BAA's Willie Walsh spitting tacks over the Conservatives' aviation schemes prompted the thought that clearly they must have something going for them, so the spectacle of the man from the NUT bristling over his spectacles at the idea of greater independence for state schools suggested that Tory education policy must be bang on.
No doubt I am wrong about this. At one point in Cameron's speech I was struck by a queer feeling of familiarity, the thought that I had heard the words before but in a slightly different context. The moment came when Cameron was recounting the dismal experiences of a constituent of his, whose wife contracted MRSA in an NHS hospital and later died, and the deeply evasive letter he had received from the Health Secretary, Alan Johnson.
Rather than offering a personal response to an individual case – apologising, say, for a squalid and unnecessary death – Mr Johnson had taken refuge in a series of bromides about the NHS complaints policy. Like Charles Ryder, in the opening tranche of Brideshead Revisited – more of which in a moment – I knew suddenly that I had been here before. The tone of Johnson's reply was exactly that of a letter Charles Clarke, then Labour Party chairman, once sent me in response to a complaint about the £5,000 donation to party funds subbed up by that tribune of the people Richard Desmond. To the question "Do you think this is the kind of man you should be taking money from?", Mr Clarke returned a two-page summary of the new Labour Party funding code. At some point there will be a reckoning for all of this.
* About halfway through Cameron's speech, the sense of recognition became as much literal as linguistic. Throughout the proceedings, the Shadow Cabinet sat grouped in a phalanx behind the podium – suavely attentive, startlingly well groomed and, as such, a magnet for any television camera that opted to stray beyond the leader's gesticulating arm. Even in dramatic close-up, though, it took me a moment to identify the demure lady with the grey-blond hair as Cheryl Gillan MP, my old boss from the Ernst & Young marketing department. (I remember Mrs G as a courteous and considerate employer, much interested in plein air frolics, who liked asking the secretaries about what she called "OBs", ie "outside bonks".)
Then, looking at the collection of heavy-faced and mostly male companions on either side, I felt another odd tremor. Who did they remind me of? Correction: of whom did they remind me? They reminded me, not to put too fine a point on it, of the ghosts of the officers of the Oxford University Conservative Association (Ouca) circa 1981: all those bright, confident chaps whose faces – a fraction less jowly then – could be seen peering out of the Students' Union bar as one trudged by on the way to some poetry reading or other.
In one case, the resemblance was actual, not figurative. As the shadow Foreign Secretary's billiard-ball hairstyle slid shinily into view, I suddenly remembered an evening spent in his college rooms adding a bit of student journalist's expertise to the laying out of the Ouca manifesto. Just like his colleague Mrs Gillan, William Hague was extremely affable and amusing. Two items in his rooms caught my eye. One was the famous signed photograph of Mrs Thatcher. The other, lurking unobtrusively on his shelves, was a book called The Pursuit of Power. And so the pursuit goes on.
* At least this suggested continuity. Some of the Cameron speech, on the other hand, reminded me of the Max Beerbohm "Young self/old self" cartoons, whose elderly protagonists reveal that the opinions of their youth have undergone a 180-degree turn. The novelist Anthony Powell used to enjoy "Young self/old self" moments listening to friends with rather rackety pasts complaining about the kind of people they were letting into gentlemen's clubs these days. Cameron's came when the former Thatcherite Young Conservative briskly condemned his opponents for having forgotten that there was such a thing as "society". Another richly ironic such moment turned up in the blizzard of press advertising commissioned by the UK's 65th richest person, the magazine publisher Felix Dennis, to promote his book of poems, Homeless in My Heart (Ebury Press), which no less a pundit than Jon Snow described as "rich, sumptuous and beautifully threaded". Interviewed on Radio 4, the impresario of early 1970s counter-culture and erstwhile editor of Oz declared that he had turned to poetry because the younger generation represented by his children was "illiterate" and communicated only by text message. There is a moral here somewhere.
* The point of the "Young self/old self" joke, of course, is that its subject is blissfully unaware of the showing-up. Hastening up on the other flank, alternatively, is the kind of person who is all too conscious of his or her past life and rather anxious to reinvent it. Scanning the barrage of interviews that accompanied this week's launch of the film of Brideshead Revisited, I deduced that Emma Thompson (apparently a passable Lady Marchmain) belonged to the second category. The critics, by and large, have been very savage about this adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's novel, and fallen over themselves to demonstrate its inferiority to the 1981 Granada TV version. Ms Thompson, asked what she'd thought about the talismanic original, claimed never to have watched it. Off her cultural radar, she further explained: "I was a punk rocker." A glance at the websites confirms that Ms T was then studying English at Newnham, the friend of Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, and an ornament of the Cambridge Footlights. Punk rock, one may add, was by that time possibly the least fashionable musical styling in England. The chances of her not having watched Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews in action, consequently, were about the same as Felix Dennis's of being reviewed in the TLS.
* Battle-scarred veteran of the 1970s censorship wars that he is – Oz featured in a famous obscenity trial – Mr Dennis has probably taken an interest in the "Freedom to read" campaign, which has been making its presence felt on the blogs. What with protests over US screenings of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials and the attempted attack on the home of the publisher of The Jewel of Medina, there is, as ever, a whole stack of books out there whose right to existence needs defending, mostly from people who wouldn't know what a book was if they fell over one in the street. At the same time, it tends to be forgotten that censorship can work to the writer's advantage.
This is particularly true in the field of sex, where bygone ukases on what could and couldn't be said often forced novelists to work by stealth, devising highly imaginative codes that switched-on readers could gleefully decipher. One of the sexiest women in fiction, for example, is Vanity Fair's Becky Sharp, whose romps with the Marquis of Steyne, if indeed they occur, take place off stage and whose physical charms are conveyed in a few laconic remarks about "famous frontal development".
One can't help feeling that the real censorship these days is exercised not by Islamists, most of whom tend to be instantly mocked for their presumption, but by well-meaning book and newspaper editors anxious not to offend various almost spectral constituencies whose liability to take offence has never actually been proved. Not long back, going over an autobiographical piece, an editor tentatively suggested that I might like to cut a sentence about my father's eagerness to escape "the monotonous thraldom of the council estate". The sentence referred to a single, individual experience – a bit like the letter from the man whose wife died from MRSA and got a smokescreen of generalisations in return.

Expert warns Australian schools may be behind the times
MAXINE McKEW: With over 700,000 Australians unemployed, politicians and parents alike have long been concerned about how we can better prepare our school leavers to enter the workforce. Now, one of Britain's leading education experts has warned that our present school system may be way behind the times.
Tom Bentley, who heads the prestigious Demos think tank believes our young people need to get out of the classroom more and into the workplace if they are to succeed in the real world, even if they intend to go on to university. He maintains that students who undertake regular workplace instruction deal better with responsibility, stress, problem-solving and relationships.
As Philippa McDonald reports, it's a message that is already being applied in the New South Wales city of Newcastle, where students studying for their Higher School Certificate are moving between the schoolroom and the workplace.
TOM BENTLEY, DEMOS FOUNDATION: The young people are finding themselves trying to adapt to a future which is incredibly different from that that faced their parents generation, but the basic institutions we use are the same.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: At just 25, Tom Bentley is considered one of Britain's leading experts on schooling. PM Tony Blair has adopted his radical plan to overhaul Britain's school system for the next century. Here in Australia, he sees the need for radical change to be just as urgent.
TOM BENTLEY: If we don't find ways of addressing the situation, there will be an increasingly alienated group of young people who haven't received anything of value from the education system.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: Bentley points the finger at a school system which he claims has barely changed over 100 years.
TOM BENTLEY: I'm not saying we should abolish the whole lot. What I'm saying is we need to transform the institutions that we use to reflect the kind of s ociety that is beginning to emerge around us.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: Tom Bentley's principal message is that schools should adopt more innovative ways of learning and that means getting out of the classroom and into the workplace.
TOM BENTLEY: They need experience of the real world over time. They need experience of taking responsibility for themselves and making real achievements.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: It's a revolutionary approach Australia is already embracing. At this Newcastle hotel, 17-year-old Delilah is studying for her HSC by baking bread.
DELILAH DA ENCARNACAO, STUDENT: Well, in the classroom basically we learnt how to start and how to prepare and then in the work placement we learnt why we actually do it.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: Delilah is one of 52,000 senior school students attending regular work placements to pass their final year at school.
DELILAH DA ENCARNACAO: I say it's a great thing, because it's good to learn, it's good to see what you want to do for your future, future job. Um, it helps, it just really helps.
TOM BENTLEY: I'm really interested to find out more about what you think about your work experience and how it fits with the rest of school.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: In Newcastle, Tom Bentley is listening to students who are being prepared for life outside the classroom.
COREEN WOODFORD, SCHOOL STUDENT: When you go for a job they know that you've had that experience there and you'll have a better chance than somebody who has had no experience at all.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: It's an optimistic statement in a city where youth unemployment is among the nation's highest and the major employer, BHP, is about to close down its steel operation.
PETER MORGAN, SCHOOL PRINCIPAL: That's the real challenge for us, is to put them out there in the first instance with the skills that they're going to need to cope with those changes in industry.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: Being equipped to cope in the workplace is another of Tom Bentley's crusades.
TOM BENTLEY: Often the most qualified graduates when they're put in a setting which is unfamiliar to them revert to an understanding of their subject which is actually the same as they would have had in early childhood. That's not because they don't know what they're talking about, it's because they've never had the experience of applying it in real life conditions.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: The work placement traineeships are designed to address those problems and so far, the results are encouraging.
JODIE SMITH, SCHOOL STUDENT: Last September, I come here, doing work placement for school and then I got a job as a kitchen hand and now I'm getting a job as an apprentice chef.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: How does that feel?
JODIE SMITH: Really good. Jodie's work placement enabled head chef Bradley Jones to evaluate her suitability for a career in his kitchen.
BRADLEY JONES, HEAD CHEF: I'm passionate about the food and I'm passionate about the education behind it, so I'm very particular. So that's how I actually find out whether I want to hire someone from there. That's where my staff come from -- they start from the base work placement.
PETER MORGAN: I think what it is doing is it's creating a really relevant and viable alternative for students who perhaps were leaving school before. Because they can identify the careers that they would like to go into and they can pursue those careers while they're still here at school.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: Today, Tom Bentley played teacher to the country's leading educators, telling them even students planning to go to university benefit from vocational education.
HETTY CISLOWSKY, NSW DEPT OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING: We do believe that vocational education is relevant to all students of all ability levels of interest. So we do absolutely have to have that opportunity for them.
TOM BENTLEY: There is an awful lot of very impressive innovation at the grassroots level, but the greatest challenge is to find ways of making that mainstream, spreading it across whole systems.
PHILIPPA McDONALD: Meanwhile, Coreen Woodford credits her work placement with giving her a far more positive outlook on life after school.
COREEN WOODFORD: I feel it's boosted my confidence and I'm happy with how it's going now . I'm really happy with it.

Benjamín Rivera Noriega Airport (IATA: CPX, ICAO: TJCP, FAA LID: CPX) is a public use airport located on the island of Culebra in Puerto Rico. The airport is owned by the Puerto Rico Ports Authority.[1] It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation airport.[3] However, the airport does offer scheduled passenger service via four commercial airlines.
The airport of Culebra was originally built as a military airport by the United States Marine Corps, opening in 1957. In 1965, the government of Puerto Rico started flying civilians from San Juan to the island with a Legislative compensation.
After the Navy-Culebra protests, the Puerto Rico Ports Authority started administering the civilian flight operations in Culebra, inaugurating the first passenger terminal in October 24, 1976. The airport and its 80 acres were officially transferred to the Ports Authority in 1980.
A new passenger terminal was inaugurated in 1994, and its name was changed to Benjamín Rivera Noriega, in honor of a pilot from Ciales. He became a community leader recognized by his service to the residents of Culebra.[4]
Facilities and aircraft[edit]
Benjamín Rivera Noriega Airport covers an area of 15 acres (6 ha) at an elevation of 49 feet (15 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 13/31 with an asphalt surface measuring 2,600 by 50 feet (792 x 15 m). For the 12-month period ending March 16, 1998, the airport had 36,322 aircraft operations, an average of 99 per day: 93% air taxi and 7% general aviation.[1]
The airport is noted for the mountain at the approach end of the runway to the North. This obstacle, as well as the short length of the runway, keep jet aircraft and airlines from using this airport. Commercial operations are currently limited to air taxi service using propeller aircraft with 10 seats or less. The approach to this airport is considered good practice for pilots before flying to Saint Barthélemy Airport.

The Blood AngelMature
Chapter Nine
Word Count: 650
Popping his neck to the sides, Tazereal the fallen angel looked around the room. "It appears the ritual is a success," Taz said to the corpse at his feet, "Thank you so very much for your power. I wasn't sure if this would actually work."He could feel every red blood cell in his body, knowing he could force it to do what he wanted. In fact, he could also control the spilled blood of the daemon in the room.
He had to try it, he willed drops around to lift and hover in the air, then had them shoot in every direction around him. The resulting effect was like a ball bearing bomb had just exploded in the room. Taz loved it. The control and power that was now coursing through his veins made him feel powerful, something he hadn't truly felt in almost 800 years.
When Anubis fell, he had written the Book of the Dead while he lived like a god among the Egyptian people. This ritual to gain unholy powers from daemons were in the original book, a book Taz had taken into his possession upon killing Anubis so many millennia before. He had kept that book to this very day, just so he could gain this ability. With the Gate finally cracking, it had given him an easy opportunity to get himself a daemon as they came through scouting.
It was time to get rid of the evidence. Pouring gasoline all over the house he had used, he poured himself a trail right out the door. Striking a match, Taz got rid of any clue that he was now the second blood angel to ever exist. The only thing he had to look forward to, was surviving.
As this house joined those already burning around him, Taz decided it was time to leave. Willing his blood to force its way out of his scars on his back, he sprouted red wings, and like riding a bike, he flew away. It was incredible; the wind blowing through his hair, able to do whatever he wanted in the air. He felt like a fledgling again, finally strong enough to take his first flight. Rolling to the right, diving at the ground and pulling up at the last second, he felt whole again.
Looking at the ground, he saw a pack of hell hounds running down a deserted street, their handler in tow. This ought to be fun. Swooping in and landing just behind the handler, so quiet not even the dogs hearing heard him. "You know you let your pets get the better of you ugly." The daemon nearly crawled out of what was left of his skin.
Turning around, the daemon had clearly been mauled several times, missing an eye and part of his face told that story. "Hmph, angel," his words were gruff and barely understandable. "Thish is dark lansh now. Tell your mashter war hash come to hish precious creation." He let out a laugh then whistled for his dogs to come back and attack Taz.
"Maybe you can't tell, but I don't work for anyone anymore." Taz spoke calmly, then used his blood wings to cut the daemons arms off, and with a twist, took off his head with the left wing. Using the fallen daemons blood, Taz willed it to take the form of a bow in his hand. As he drew back, arrows formed, with a grin, he let loose arrow after arrow, right into each hounds head. When the final hound hit the ground, Taz flew off. I wonder how my powers hold up to a dark angel. Who am I kidding, Uriel's probably let them all get soft since I was in the corp. Few remember the first war when Lucifer rose up and we had to banish him the first. Looks like round two is about to get under way.

Employment attorneys focus on the many laws concerning the relationship between employers and employees. If you feel your employer has treated you wrongly as an employee, or if you're an employer who needs to terminate an unsatisfactory employee, you may benefit from the services of an employment attorney. Some professionals, such as teachers, policemen, and pilots, belong to labor unions, which have specific negotiation and labor law procedures that protect union members. A labor attorney will know which laws apply to your particular situation and how you can take advantage of the laws to protect your rights.

There is something in Shanaze Reade's make-up that compels her to do things in a hurry. She talks quickly and she acts quickly. She always has. "I was so hyperactive [as a child]," says Reade animatedly. She grins and her hands shoot out of the sleeves of her parka where they had been sheltering. It feels like the coldest day of the year and the temperature has driven us inside from a BMX track in east London to the improbable sanctuary of a city farm. "I loved to run and go fast, always fast, it was always about speed. There was this hill at my school and I used to run down the hill as fast as I could and the teachers would think I was crazy. Sometimes I would do roly-polys down it. I just loved speed."
Getting to the bottom of the hill as fast as possible has become Reade's sporting raison d'être. The hill is now eight metres high and its descent signals the start of 30 to 40 adrenalin-filled seconds that take her round 400 metres of jumps and bumps at the end of which, if all goes to plan over the next six months, she will be a world and Olympic champion. Reade is already a BMX world champion three times over – as well as a double track world champion in partnership with Victoria Pendleton – but the Olympics is a painful (this is a sport where pain is often literal) gap on her CV.
Four years ago she arrived in Beijing regarded by all and sundry – those in the know and those along for the ride – as favourite to win the first BMX gold at the Olympics, an all-action heroine for an all-action sport. In the final she trailed Ann-Caroline Chausson and so made a last-ditch, desperate attempt to pass the Frenchwoman. It ended with Reade in a heap, nursing a damaged shoulder, a sprained wrist, a displaced pelvis and no medal. Silver would have been hers if she had been prepared to settle for it, but then that is not the way of her or her sport.
"When you're a kid you fall over, you get back up and you go through that. I got into BMX at 10, you fall off and you break your first bone and you're like, 'oh my God', then you get over that and you get used to it," says Reade, who over the years has fractured a knee, an elbow, a foot, ribs, her coccyx and a hand. "It's what you know. It does hurt – breaking a bone is never nice – but at the same time you think 'I've been there and I've got over that'. You mustn't dwell on it. If you live in that reserved way then you wouldn't do anything. I love my sport. That's what it is and that's what you're faced with."
In the build-up to Beijing, and with the plaudits of the likes of Chris Hoy ringing around the British camp, Reade was the subject of intense interest, in one part because she was a British golden prospect and in another because it was an exciting new sport and Reade is engaging and sparky company.
"Beijing was one of the worst points of my life," says Reade. "There are a lot of people out there who have had a lot worse things happen than losing an Olympic Games but to me that was very, very tough. But then you think sport isn't all about winning. You can't win every single race and you've got to know with the smooth there's going to be some rough times. You are going to lose some races in your career but mine so happened to be the biggest race of my life." She shrugs. "I've lived to see another day and I'm back for the next Olympics."
The next Olympics take place not far from where we talk at a long table at one end of the café of Hackney City Farm, having been politely asked to move from a sofa because this evening is veg box night and the farm staff need space by the door. It's not the usual venue to meet an Olympian, but it fits, unintentionally, with Reade's plan to keep a low profile during the build-up to the Games. She admits the attention got to her in Beijing and has used the experience to redress her preparation this time around.
"It has changed because of Beijing," she says. "If you had asked me this time four years ago, I would have said it was on my mind every morning. That's how it was and you burn yourself out. You get to the Games and you're like [she flops on the table] instead of letting it go with the flow. It's no more interviews after this. I want to keep more under the radar, I don't want to be in people's faces. Now you've got your big hitters, you've got [Jessica] Ennis, Tom Daley, all the cycling team, who have won every medal going. I'm this little fish in a big pond now, whereas before not lots of the team were tipped to win. I can blend more – that's my intention, anyway.
"I'm more experienced. It wasn't like I was immature before and I don't think I was ever naïve for a 19-year-old – but there is only so much you can have experienced in life by that age. Now just things like buying a house, understanding life in general, as well as going through a failure at such a big event, it all sets you up and you get that life experience to deal with an Olympics. Ann-Caroline was the best mentally prepared that day and it won her the Olympics. A lot of it is to do with the mind and now I have a lot more control over that."
Reade has moved from the family home in Crewe to Manchester – having bought that house near the velodrome where the BMX team are based, alongside the rest of Britain's cyclists. There is the same attention to detail that has helped the track team – to whose ranks Reade wants to return one day – harvest such success. "We are always looking for marginal gains," says Reade, "whether that be in training or performance, or with actual equipment." What they are she will not say. There have been suggestions she may even look to put on some weight for the Games in the belief that a heavier rider – within obvious reason – can be quicker around the course. The equipment is leaning against the wall next to our table.
The striking difference between the two forms of cycling comes in the bike. Every part of Reade's BMX, she points out, can be bought from a shop. She herself has transferable skills between the two disciplines thanks to an ability to reach high speeds quickly. But the track cycling programme is much more regimented than BMX. "My sport is a lot looser – it is more like an art, there's more expression," she says. As a child she took to BMX precisely because of the lack of structure that surrounded the sport.
Last year Reade won the test event over the London course – one she describes as the toughest she has ever ridden – to underline her status as a gold contender. This summer she will compete in the World Championships in Birmingham and then the Games.
"A World Championships is massive," says Reade. "I see the worlds on a par with the Olympics so I will not ride them with any reserve. I'm a firm believer in life that 'what will be, will be'.
"God forbid, if anything happens and I crashed out of the worlds and could not go to the Games, then that was mapped out for me. I don't let my imagination run too wild. It's six months and if you think about [London] all the time it can become too much. It's about the journey as well – not just about the destination. You need to enjoy everything along the way, and I have got a lot to look forward to."

Olympic news you may have missed...
Britain's rhythmic gymnastic team will have to wait a few more days to find out whether they will be competing in the 2012 Games.
The team began an appeal after confusion over when they had to reach their qualifying target. They achieved the required score at the qualifying event last month but were told it was a day too late by British Gymnastics. Their appeal was led by Michael Beloff QC and the decision will be announced next week.
What's coming up...
Rebecca Adlington, Liam Tancock, Ellie Simmonds and the rest of Britain's swimmers will begin a nerve-jangling week at the London Aquatics Centre as they start the Olympic trials tomorrow.
The week-long competition will feature the top Olympic and Paralympic swimmers in the UK. Over the pond, American swimmer and 12-times Olympic gold medallist Michael Phelps' 2012 preparations continue as he competes in the Columbus Grand Prix, which begins next Friday in Columbus, Ohio.
Who's up?
British women's hockey team The coach of one of the gold-medal favourites, Argentina's Carlos Retegui, has surprisingly tipped Britain to be their main rivals.
Pete Waterfield Enjoyed a much better week than his famous other half by winning bronze at the World Cup in London.
Who's down?
Tom Daley After a difficult week, the 17-year-old is headed back to school, where he will have to juggle his studies with his Olympic training.
Australia Terrible news, the Aussies are sending their smallest team since 1992 because so few athletes have qualified.

Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom Sawyer Abroad, and Tom Sawyer, Detective (WORKS OF MARK TWAIN)
(E-bog, PDF)
Beskrivelse: This is a small sampling of Mark Twains life-long fulminations against the editors, printers, and proofreaders who, subtly or grossly, altered his work and shrouded ... Læs mere his intentions as they transmitted his writing from manuscript to type. Through unauthorized changes and inadvertent errors, Mark Twains first publishers brought out texts full of thousands of errors in form and content. Later publishers then based their reprints on these corrupt editions and added errors of their own. It is the aim of the Iowa-California edition to strip away this accretion of error and present texts faithful to the authors intention.By comparing all the life-time version of Mark Twains works, the editors are able to isolate the authors revisions from the printers and publishers changes. The record of this comparison supplies not only the evidence for editorial decisions, but also the history of the authors efforts to shape his work. In addition, these volumes include previously uncollected work, work that has long been out of print, and such unpublished writing as related drafts, working notes, and marginalia.The texts are established at the Center for Textual Studies at the University of Iowa or at the Mark Twain Papers in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley.The costs for editorial work have been met by generous support from the Editing Program of the National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent federal agency, and other institutional and private donors. The edition is published by the University of California Press with financial assistance from the Graduate College at the University of Iowa. All volumes are submitted to the Center for Editions of american Authors, or to its successor, the Committee for Scholarly Editions, for examination and approval Læs mindre

Barack Obama headed for a closed door meeting with Democrats on the Hill today. It wasn't what he said that was important, it's what he didn't.
"As President Obama finished his speech to the Democratic caucus in the Capitol's Mansfield Room on Sunday afternoon, Joe Lieberman made his way over to Harry Reid. The independent who still caucuses with Democrats wanted to point something out to the Majority Leader: Obama didn't mention the public option.
Lieberman was beaming as he left the room and happy to re-point it out when HuffPost asked him what Obama had said about the public health insurance option, perhaps the most contentious issue still facing Democrats as they negotiate their way toward a final health care reform bill. "Well, it was interesting to me -- of course everybody hears with their own ears -- that he didn't say anything about the public option," said Lieberman.
"In other words, when he outlined how far we've come on the bill, he talked about the cost-containment provisions; he talked about the insurance market reforms; and he talked about enabling 30 million more people to get insurance.
He said these are historic accomplishments, the most significant social legislation, or whatever you call it, in decades, so don't lose it." Obama spoke for roughly 30 minutes and did not take questions, senators said afterward."
Obama didn't speak about the public option simply because it's dead. There simply isn't enough support for it. What you were watching today was a salvage mission, not a pep rally.

My own recording of the cinematic.
Two things about it stuck out to me:
- As a person with a twin: Cenarius can go **** himself. So can Malfurion. The sibling rule of "only I am allowed to insult and otherwise
tortureannoy my brother/sister" applies. Also, I always have and always will hate being used as an emotional weapon against my twin, and can't believe that Malfurion did not proffer at least a token objection. It is cute at a very young age to dress and treat twins like duplicates, but twins (or multiples in general) want to be recognized for their individuality as a person. Few things sting as badly as being implicitly told that you are the inferior "copy" of the other.
- Why are Malfurion's eyes gold? As seen and heard in the cinematic for Awakenings, there is a significant difference in eye-color between the Stormrage twins. I went to Malfurion Stormrage's Wowpedia article but that was inconclusive.
- As a person with a twin: Cenarius can go **** himself. So can Malfurion. The sibling rule of "only I am allowed to insult and otherwise

Although the item is common quality, it actually is not consumed upon use. You only need to buy one. You will not be refunded the Ancient Mana cost - it's only 6 copper if you sell it back to Jacin.

Probably a play on the figure of speech, "Bring home the bacon."
Anyway, your character can move while channeling the quest item's spell. Just be mindful that movement speed is much slower than normal, so be ready to cancel the channeling if you need to get out of the path of a sentry in a hurry.

There is no difference between the quest rewards. They are all standard alcohol. Pick whichever one suits your roleplay fancy (they all vendor for the same amount of gold).
0Aliok posted a message on Breaking the SealPosted in: Breaking the Seal
The trick to this quest is aligning both the wide, blue beam and the thin, violet beam onto the same seal. Once a seal has both beams' input, the seal becomes interactable and thus allows you to break it. Breaking a seal causes a Moonfall Stalker to drop down from the ceiling to attack you.

This boss' room is very handy for quickly grinding reputation with Brood of Nozdormu. See my comment on that page.
2Aliok posted a message on Brood of NozdormuPosted in: Brood of Nozdormu
As an additional note (as someone who has farmed this faction's reputation to Exalted):
- Save the insignias for when you reach the point that only boss kills are rewarding reputation. See below if you are a class that can drop from combat (mage, hunter, rogue) or have a racial ability that does the same (night elf, I think).
- There is a nifty trick to quickly farming reputation from mobs in Ruins of Ahn'qiraj. I do recommend finding something to listen to in the background since you'll have to wait for your ability to come off cool-down. There is a boss in Ruins of Ahn'qiraj called General Rajaxx that has several groups of trash mobs and a few named mobs that essentially form a ring within his room. Be careful about pulling the groups that are closest to boss - you don't want to aggro him just yet. Aggro those trash mobs and pull them away from the boss so you may safely AoE them to death. Loot them (occasionally a nice transmog item may be found, if memory serves me). Now go back to the boss and proximity pull him, and keep pulling him until you are outside his room. Drop from combat to reset him. He will respawn along with the all the trash mobs. Profit!

If you think you are going crazy trying to find Erudite Manafiend, here is your (and my) problem: Erudite Manafiends only spawn during Azeroth's daylight. At night, the spawns switch to Eldritch Manafiends.
Anyway, Bloodgazer Hatchling must be the pet that kills the Erudite Manafiend or be the front-row pet when the Erudite Manafiend is captured. If the hatchling dies later in the fight (after defeating the manafiend), you will still receive credit if the rest of your team defeats the remaining pets. You cannot defeat the manafiend and then forfeit.

This is a neutral, unattackable mob that appears only while Bloodgazer Swarm! world quest is active. You need Azsunian Grapes in your inventory in order to acquire it as a battle pet, Bloodgazer Hatchling. The closest vendor that sells the food is Nalysse Dawnsorrow.
Edit: How interesting. The grapes are not consumed by this process, so you can sell them back to a vendor and recoup a bit of the purchase cost. Also, you are restricted to owning just one.

I cannot tell you where I am, nor can I return to you. This is a difficult, trying time for our people but I must stress to you: there IS still hope. I cannot risk exposing my saviors, but help is coming. Just hold on.

The interesting thing is the disappearance of not just Alaina, but the two children as well. I thought at first that the family moved out of the house, seeing as Alaina took her husband's death at the Broken Shore badly and there would only be painful reminders in the home. You pointed out to me, however, that using "/target Alaina" will target Alaina Hearthsong... dead.
It's possible that she committed suicide, but there is no visible body or other indications of what may have taken place. I personally believe that, as despondent as she was, she only moved out with her children. Blizzard does make use of 'bunnies' to trigger spells or otherwise provide a mark for the game client to use as an indication to do/show something. After returning the charred locket, the player does not see her or the children anymore. How does the game know to do this? With the hidden, 'dead' NPC.
Ok, nope. Looks like it is an environment bug. Some players are able to correct it by relogging (did not work for me) but I used Whole-Body Shrinka' to drastically change my camera's height. I was then able to see her corpse by clipping partly through the bed.
Dang it.

Hi rougy1,
I haven't heard of this quest. I asked a friend who writes a lot of quest articles for Wowpedia, and she can't place it at all. I also checked the mobs linked on this page and there is no data for any of those creatures. It is probably safe to say that this never made it to live from Legion's alpha/beta phase. I will go ahead with marking it and the other quests you mentioned - no collected data for them, too - as not available.

I solo'd this quest as an avg ilvl 832 Fire mage. Talents not optimal, but it helped me get the job done. http://www.wowdb.com/talent-calculator#Egoi What my artifact rank apportionment looks like: http://www.wowdb.com/artifact-calculator#iZbLbDJIBIAhifhkBAAA
Quaff a flask, it doesn't need to be an expensive one. (I still use Oralius' Whispering Crystal from WoD.) Eat a buff food, too. I preferred Fishbrul Special because it's an attack that doesn't cost me cast time.
Do not bother with Snaggle Sixtrigger yet. Your first target is Rax Sixtrigger in the mechanical shredder. Keep your barrier up as much as possible, use Blink on cool-down for sustained healing. Snare with instant-cast Flamestrike and Frost Nova. Do not stand in the bad that Snaggle launches at you.
When the shredder goes Haywire, you have two options: Ice Block and wait it out, or do what the game tells you and launch yourself up to the ship which Snaggle is attacking you from. Honestly, the Ice Block is the better option because of how much time the game takes to actually move your character from its position to where the grapplehook on the ship is situated; I took a lot of damage and this almost killed me in my first attempt. Unfortunately, IB has a long cool-down, so if you are high on health then get on the ship. If you are low, just IB and wait it out. Be prepared to Blink away, use both charges of Inferno Blast to get a quick Flamestrike on Rax, and heal up while doing some casting. Rinse and repeat, and Rax dies.
Now Snaggle's turn. Do not bother with getting on the ship. Dodging the timed bombs is simple and you never have to worry about dealing with Snaggle's special ability that forces you off the ship.
TL;DR - Do not stand in bad. Keep yourself healed. Focus Rax, then Snaggle. GG.

According to Blizzard, this is not on a per-realm basis - it is per region. This makes sense (to me) because some realms have huge disparity in faction balance.
I believe this will be a fun mini-holiday because it is rather friendly to players with alts. Even lower levels may participate by turning in specific items, like food crafting reagents, to an NPC (which is purposely reminiscent of the original Ahn'Qiraj quests that allowed non-60 characters to contribute to "the war effort").

This will cause a quest window to open that you will use to complete the quest.

How odd.

But you mention that you were specifically going for the leather kilt, so you were likely on a character that wears leather to begin with...
Log on to a character that uses leather and open the Appearances collection. Go to the legs section and search for the kilt. If it's not there, then you may want to see if a GM can assist you.

Great for students who needs MS Office 08/14/2006
This review is from: Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003
About half the price of MS Office Standard, great for students and teachers who needs to use it for class projects and don't want to bust 2-3 weeks worth in funding/personal exspences.
Can only register it 3 times total (or use up to 3 computers total) and will have to call Microsoft to activate. After a 3rd calls in a short period of time, they MAY think it is a pirate copy and perminantly deactivate that key code.
Other Thoughts:
I'm a student at a tech collage and I need Power Point and Word in a lot of my classes and it's conveniant to get the Standard edition at 1/2 the price.

He's a heavy metal God - the Blizzard of Oz - the Prince of Darkness, but to Jack Osbourne, he's just Dad. And, during most of Jack's youth, his father Ozzy was always on the road, hard at work as the lead singer of Black Sabbath and his own band. There wasn't much time for family trips. But, now that Ozzy's finding a better work-life balance, and Jack is in a place where he can make the time, father and son are looking to hit the road in a journey that they've always wanted to take. A big history buff and HISTORY viewer, Ozzy never had a chance to visit the many historical places he only saw on TV. A schooled and self-professed history nerd, Jack has put together a bucket list of locations and landmarks that he knows will impress his dad. This fall, Jack will take him on a series of trips that will enlighten both father and son.
Ozzy and Jack's bucket lists collide when father and son head to the UK. While both want to visit Stonehenge, the mythic structure of Druid lore, the rest of their itinerary is up for debate, and both Ozzy and Jack each want their way. Will Ozzy get his hands on Alan Turing's famous Nazi code breaking machine? Will Jack convince his dad to go to the newly found remains of a Neolithic monument known as "Superhenge"? And will Ozzy let Jack pursue his dream of getting his dad knighted?
In 1982, something happened at the Alamo that instantly became both Rock & Rock lore and a bold question mark in the Osbourne family history. So, nearly 35 years later, Jack and his dad head back to the "scene of the crime" (against Ozzy's wishes and warnings) in an attempt to uncover the truth and hopefully rewrite history. Along the way the guys take a couple of detours, including NASA's Johnson Space Center, where they test drive the new Mars Rover, and a stop at the Museum of Funeral History.
Ozzy and Jack venture to historic Jamestown, Virginia. Jack is determined to find out whether any Osbournes were among the first British colonists in America, but Ozzy is obsessed with the idea of that the early settlers (and potentially his distant relatives) resorted to cannibalism. On the road to Jamestown the guys take a couple of detours so they can drive a WWII tank, visit Stonewall Jackson's arm, and shoot their way through Colonial Williamsburg.
Ozzy and Jack are on a road trip to Mt. Rushmore. Jack wants to get an up-close and personal look at the historic site from a helicopter, but Ozzy wants nothing to do with it. So, the two settle their differences the ol' Wild West way: a quick draw shoot out. On the road to Rushmore, father and son pan for gold, go inside a Minuteman Nuclear missile site, detour through Deadwood to visit Wild Bill Hickok's grave and get face to face with Crazy Horse.
Since Ozzy has a concert in Japan, father and son set out on a historic Japanese adventure. Driven by Ozzy's obsession with samurai swords, the guys go in search of a Samurai Master. Along the way, Ozzy & Jack secure a rare invite by sword master Isao Machii to try their hand at forging a kitana blade. Then, Jack wants to get a Tebori tattoo from a legendary tattoo master of the ancient art form. But will he be able to convince his dad that he too should get jabbed with a sharp stick for hours on end, as a ritual to mark their father-son bond?
Jack has a big surprise in store for his father's birthday and pulls a lot of strings to put together the perfect trip for him; the trip includes medical oddities, a penitentiary, a voyage 220-feet underground, and a relic from Ozzy's past.
Ozzy and Jack pack up a camper and travel to the home of all things UFO -- Roswell, New Mexico. While Jack is a true UFO believer and loves camping, Ozzy is a skeptic and loathes the outdoors when it's freezing cold. But Jack's certain that the experience will further deepen their father-son bond. On the agenda: the Petroglyphs National Monument, a UFO Museum and the famous Roswell crash site/debris field.
Ozzy agrees to go to one of Jack's favorite cities, as long as they'll be able to get a tour of the White House. So, while Jack scrambles to get access to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, he and his dad take a bunch of detours. On the itinerary: the FBI Training Facility in Quantico, little known park featuring the heads of America's Presidents, a local legend who calls himself Little Ozzy, and the residence where Ozzy's idols The Beatles partied after their first concert in America.
For more than 50 years Cuba's been off limits for travelers coming from America. But now the doors are open and Jack & Ozzy are heading to the country of revolution and cold war agitation to get a look at some history that's been hidden away. From rolling fleets of 50's American automobiles to cold war weaponry; From Ernest Hemmingway's house to the presidential palace, there's a lot on the itinerary. But, Jack won't be satisfied until he can convince his dad to help him bring home a little bit of Cuba in his suitcase.
Ozzy and Jack hit the birthplace of Rock N Roll: Memphis, Tennessee. While Ozzy is excited to see the historic Sun Studios, Jack wants to take his dad on a detour to a more infamous site - a place where legend has it, the devil struck a deal that ultimately changed the course of music history. Plus, a special gift from a legendary instrument maker prompts Ozzy to unleash a bit of his own musical wizardry.

Recruiting rankings are funny thing. While Cincinnati and West Virginia's recruiting classes both are ranked higher than Louisville's heading into National Signing Day, if you look closer you'll find they really aren't better classes.
For one, Cincinnati's recruiting class ranking is based on having 32 commitments. However, schools can only have 25 scholarship players per recruiting class.
West Virginia, which has three more commitments than Louisville's 23, is currently 50 points ahead of the Cardinals in the rankings. The additions of three-star running back Anthony Wales and/or three-star cornerback Sean Draper would likely propel Louisville's recruiting class ahead of the Mountaineers.
More importantly Louisville has more four-star commitments (3) than any other Big East team except WVU, which also has three. Cincinnati has only one four-star recruit. Louisville's average commit ranking of 2.91 is also higher than both Cincinnati (2.66) and WVU (2.85). Louisville has 15 three-star recruits, more than every Big East program besides Cincinnati (22) and WVU (16).

Strong's third recruiting class at Louisville is anchored by a linebacker group that ranks fifth-best nationally. Four-star linebackers Keith Brown and Nick Dawson, US Army All-Americans, headline the group, which also includes three-star prospects James Burgess, a Semper Fidelis All-American, and Patrick Jean. Brown, Jean and Burgess are all Top 10 ranked linebackers in Florida.

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) could rack up legal bills of more than £18.5m defending claims totalling £300m from the Tchenguiz brothers, Robert and Vincent.
The case was launched following the arrest of the brothers in a botched investigation in March 2011.
The agency, which has instructed Slaughter and May partner Jonathan Cotton to defend the claims, told the High Court earlier this week that it had already spent £8.13m defending the case.
In the most recent pre-trial outing, the SFO sought £6.25m by way of security for costs to defend a £300,000 suit from investment vehicle R20, which is owned by Robert Tchenguiz.
Blackstone Chambers' James Eadie QC, instructed for the SFO, came under fire from the court after his opposing counsel, Essex Court Chambers' Joe Smouha QC, contended that the SFO argued "it would be appropriate and proportionate […] to spend £9m of public money" defending a £312,000 claim.
Mr Justice Eder criticised Eadie for "fundamental flaws" in cost estimates for the SFO, which the barrister referred to as being "rough and ready".
Eder J responded: "You are being kind to yourself Mr Eadie. I was going to say fundamentally flawed but, if you want to say rough and ready, I don't find but it is fundamentally flawed."
He continued: "Yet I don't think it is appropriate for me now to take your rough and ready and start shaving it, and washing it, and putting it in and out, and ironing it, and coming out with a different figure because it seems to me fundamentally flawed."
He warned Eadie to reconsider the application: "Mr Smouha is right in general terms that you application is fundamentally flawed. I think that remains my view. It was my view when I read the papers and it remains my view. Perhaps you might consider overnight how best – one position might be you are going to try and persuade me I am wrong."
No conclusion was reached on the application yesterday (8 April) when Robert Tchenguiz , who has instructed Shearman & Sterling partner Josanne Rickard, hit back by making an application to amend his claims to include misfeasance.
Accepting the application the costs were awarded against the SFO, which was told to hand over 75 per cent of claimant application fees. Eder J said the application to amend the claim, which the SFO had demanded the claimants put before the court, was unecessary.
The added costs will likely push fees up further than the £18.5m already estimated by the SFO.
The brothers and their companies are seeking damages for trespass, wrongful arrest, human rights breaches, misfeasance in public office and malicious prosecution (6 January 2014).
It marks the latest in a stream of High Court criticism for the SFO, which landed in hot water last month over its actions in a trial against Victor Dahdaleh (26 March 2014).
The SFO budget has been slashed from £53.3m to £30.8m since 2008-09 and spiraling litigation forced it to ask for £19m of additional funding from the Treasury in January to cope with blockbuster cases.

Panaji, Mar 27 (UNI) Fiona Mackenow, mother of slain British teenager Scarlette Eden Keeling, desires to conduct a third 'inquest' on her daughter body , which was flown to Mumbai today enroute London.
Her legal advisor Vikram Verma told UNI that the authorities in London would make a thorough examination of Keeling's body to ascertain facts through the ''inquest procedure'' with viscera sent for chemical examination three weeks after her death on February 18, by Anjuna police here.
''The findings, however, does not have any legal validity in India,'' he said.
The Goan doctors had conducted two autopsies on Fiona's insistence following which the police registered a case of rape and murder and arrested two young suspects, including a drug peddler.
Meanwhile, Fiona and Verma will leave for Mumbai on Sunday. Fiona would fly back on Monday.
She may revisit Goa if the authorities extend her re-entry visa, which is doubtful with Home Minister Ravi Naik here not in its favour.
Meanwhile, the Home Minister told UNI that he would consult the chief minister, director general of police and Home Secretary to finalise the modalities for a CBI probe into the Keeling's case after the ongoing budget session of the State Legislative Assembly is over tomorrow.

Businesses prepare for snowstorm
Don Mullis is switching gears, "Did you ever think you'd be hooking this up after March 20? Absolutely not!"
He didn't think he'd be prepping salt either. Don and his son run Circle City Outdoors snow removal during the winter and landscaping in the Spring and Summer. In fact, the trucks were all ready for landscaping and hauling mulch when they heard about the six to nine inches of snow predicted for Central Indiana.
"Just part of business, just roll with the flow, do what we do best and take care of our customers," said Mullis.
When it comes to people prepping for the snowstorm, they're not snatching up the salt, they're flocking to the flowers.
"We're going to save them and not plant them until after the snow," explained Lee Ann Einterz.
"It's been so cold this entire month and then to cap it off with heavy snow--are you kidding me??? But, it is what it is, right," said Pat Sullivan.
He is doing his weekly radio show and one of the big topics, how to protect your spring flowers from the winter snow. While everyone is talking snow, he's dreaming of greener days in more ways than one.
Sullivan said, "It really stretches small business guys because we've been losing money. We always lose money for three months and we expect that spring and it's a challenge. We laugh about it, but it's a challenge."
Suggested Links
A challenge Abbie and Lea Ann Einterz are trying to find the positive in.
"We're thinking we might get to use our cross country skis one more time. There's a bright spot to it," said Einterz.
As Mother Nature throws everyone for a loop.

All of the english speaking countries (ca,ie,uk) have the same or similar results to the US index
I am also seeing either recovered or pre-panda rankings on google.es
The only reason Google would run it at 4 months is to punish us.
