Rap metal drummer, tracksuit-clad prayer warrior and weapons grade moron Bradlee Dean, like most wingnuts, loves to strike the martyr pose and claim, falsely, to be oppressed. But if the statements in this article are accurate, he may actually have a case against a school in Florida.
His organization told WND he had been scheduled to speak to the "American Club" at Spanish River High in Boca Raton, Fla., yesterday.
But the announcement said "on the actual day of the speaking event, and with no notice, the principal acted arbitrarily" and ordered Dean out of the building.
The organization statement from Dean spokesman Jake McAuley noted the same student club had invited other conservative speakers recently without incident, including entertainer Victoria Jackson…
According to a letter from Horatia G. Mihet of Liberty Counsel, the school must reverse its ban on Dean.
"The club must be permitted to have guest speakers Bradlee Dean and the Sons of Liberty speak, without the school censoring their message. Bradlee Dean and SOLR are on tour from Michigan, and have other stops scheduled," the letter dated today said.
"If we do not hear from you … or if your decision is to uphold the principal's actions in this case, we will proceed with filing a federal court action next week. At that time, we will seek a temporary restraining order against the school district to allow the American Club to host Bradlee Dean and other speakers without unconstitutional censorship by school officials … and will seek damages."
According to the letter, the conflict developed this way:
"Yesterday, Feb. 13, was the long-scheduled day for the American Club (a student-initiated, student-led club) to host Bradlee Dean as the guest speaker at an after-school meeting of the club, while Sons of Liberty Radio broadcasted the event. This event was properly arranged with the school, which had notified students of its occurrence for three weeks on PA system announcements (and had also been advertised on Facebook). Halfway through the event yesterday, it was shut down by school officials acting at the command of the principal, who cited 'controversial statements' and 'anti-homosexuality' of the group 'The Sons of Liberty' as the rationale …
If all of this is accurate, the school is pretty clearly in the wrong constitutionally. This is not at all like the situation in Iowa a year ago when Dean and his cohorts was invited by the school to put on a mandatory assembly for all students. That is a clearly unconstitutional thing to do. But a student club bringing in a speaker to talk just to that club is entirely different. In those cases, the school cannot engage in viewpoint discrimination under the Equal Access Act and multiple court precedents.
Of course, this is Liberty Counsel we're talking about and it's being published in the Worldnutdaily, so I wouldn't be shocked to find out that they're leaving out some important information. If they have to file a suit over it, the truth will undoubtedly come out during discovery. But if this is all true, Dean may actually have a valid reason to claim he is being censored unconstitutionally.

Feminism | Posted by Gina S on 07/3/2013
The Sexism Of Bridal Culture
I'm not a fan of the whole heterosexual white wedding package. The sexism, gender roles and heteronormativity that generally come with it are far too problematic for me and the fact that this is what society likes to spoon-feed females practically from birth is troublesome. It starts with the Disney Princess movies which feature weddings as the ultimate happily ever-afters. It continues with romantic comedy movies in which getting married is the central goal of the protagonist. And it continues in real life when your friends and relatives anxiously inquire when your 'special day' is going to be as soon as you reach a certain age and are in a relationship. Women are taught to aspire to marriage above all else, to crave it more than intellectual success or the

Jefferson City, Tenn. - Drew Schauss scored 13 points in the first half and Josh Jordan recorded his second straight double-double, scoring 16 points and pulling down a career-high 18 rebounds, but Kevin Leatherwood paced the Eagles with 22 points as Carson-Newman completed the season sweep on Wednesday night in Holt Fieldhouse, 81-72.
Three Tornados (8-9, 5-6 SAC) scored 16 points in the contest as Schauss, Gaither Hendrix and Jordan all achieved that mark for Brevard as the Tornados shot 37.0 percent (27-73) from the floor in the contest. Jordan contributed six steals as the BC defense forced 18 turnovers in the game and Josh Roper added a pair of blocked shots as the Tornados fell in conference play.
Leatherwood put the Eagles (9-10, 6-5 SAC) on the board first on his way to a game-high 22 points, while Ishmael Sanders scored 18 points off the bench for Carson-Newman, hitting three three-pointers in the game. John Holleman added a 14 point, 11 rebound double-double, as well as contributing six assists as the Eagles completed the season sweep against the Tornados, having won the first game of the series on January 5th, 96-89 in Boshamer Gymnasium.
Leatherwood posted up Hendrix in the paint and put in the first basket of the game with 19:22 on the clock as the Eagles held the early advantage. The Tornados battled back to take the lead at 11-10 on a jumper by Schauss as the sophomore guard scored eight of Brevard's first 11 points of the contest, to take the lead at the 16:45 mark.
Brevard built their largest lead of the first half at 16-12 as Jermichael Tanner drilled a three-pointer from the top of the key and Schauss hit a short jumper in the paint at the 14:02 mark to give Brevard the four-point advantage. The Eagles battled back, taking the lead on a three-pointer from Holleman as the 6-8 junior stepped back behind the arc to put the score at 17-16 with 12:36 to play in the opening period.
The Tornados tied it up on a Hendrix free throw, putting the score at 17 apiece, but the Eagles would go on to build their largest lead of the half at eight points at 30-22 on a jumper by Kevin Hare at the 7:32 mark. The Tornados used a late 5-0 run at the end of the half to cut the score back to within three as Schauss canned a trey and Tanner hit a pair of free throws, but Carson-Newman went into the break up 39-36.
Leatherwood again posted up and was fouled, putting the Eagles up 41-36 at the beginning of the second half, but the Tornados battled back again, eventually taking the lead at 45-44 as Hendrix hit a three-pointer with the shot clock expiring to give Brevard the advantage.
The score would be tied three times in the next four minutes and the lead would switch hands eight times in the second half until Carson-Newman took control for good, starting at the 9:53 mark as Leatherwood again went in for the layup. Erwin Staten would hit a three-pointer on the next Eagles' possession to push the lead to four as Carson-Newman went up as many as 10 points after a three-pointer by Leatherwood at 69-59 with 5:17 to play.
The Tornados gave it one last effort, cutting the score down to within five points with 39 seconds left in the contest on a Jordan rebound and lay-in, but the Sanders put the game away from the free throw line, going three of four from the charity stripe in the final 35 seconds as the Eagles defended the Holt Fieldhouse, 81-72.
Brevard returns home to Boshamer Gymnasium, remaining in conference play as they host Tusculum College on Saturday, February 5th. The Tornados took the first game of the series, 77-72, on December 30th in Pioneer Arena, and will look to complete the season sweep. Tipoff between Brevard and Tusculum for BC's Take A Kid to the Game Day is set for 4 p.m.

Wendy Williams wants WHAT for NeNe Leakes & Kim Kardashian?!
We're still not sure why Nene Leakes has sworn off The Wendy Williams Show, but its host is still singing her praises.
Wendy Williams says Nene and Kim Kardashian deserve a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame even though their claim to fame is reality television.
he talk show host agreed with Kanye West when he told Jimmy Kimmel his baby mama deserved a star.
"You know that Kim wont be getting a star on the Walk of Fame any time soon. A spokesperson for the organization said that Kim does not qualify because she's a reality star. Meanwhile, Lassie's Star sitting up there on the Walk of Fame," she quipped.
"Well I think that whoever makes those rules is really, really out of touch. Reality stars are bigger than regular TV stars these days…Everybody in the world knows who Kim Kardashian is."
"Like it or not, these reality stars are stars! And my thought is they do deserve to be in the running for a Hollywood star," she said. "I think people in Hollywood, sometimes stick their nose up to reality TV because they feel that you're not a real thesbian, you didn't study at the School of Drama."
"You've got to get with the times, Walk of Fame. And the fact is rappers are now becoming actors and reality stars should be on the Walk of Fame and that's the way it is."
"And by the way, I would say NeNe would be next on the Walk of Fame for a star," she said. "I don't think they need their own section…Walk of Fame. That's it!"

Are you a Gleek? Well, this reporter is a fan of the show and considers himself a big Gleek. Fox's Glee is a powerhouse on television. Every week they put out some fantastic scenes that take today's pop songs and make them their own. The characters are in high school, so we totally get a good sense of all of the different groups that make up a typical high school. And considering the number of songs, and CD's that Fox releases each year, it's only natural that they would have this all-star cast go out on tour to perform and bring in Fox some more cash. This movie is about that concert series.

Students serve organizations as part of the Jones School Board Fellows ProgramHOUSTON – (Aug. 30, 2011) – For the fourth consecutive year, Rice University MBA students are making their mark on the city of Houston with their involvement in nonprofit boards as part of the Jones Graduate School of Business Board Fellows Program.The program matches Rice MBA students with Houston community-based nonprofit organizations. Students serve as nonvoting board members for either 12- or 18-month appointments and attend board sessions and relevant committee meetings under the mentorship of a current board member. As students become familiar with their organizations, they have additional opportunities to work with the board to develop special projects that will identify and address issues faced by the organization.The program is mutually beneficial for both students and the organizations involved, said Donna Platt, associate director of development for the Jones School and the program's coordinator. "It's remarkable not only how much the students gain from the program, but how much it benefits the Greater Houston community," Platt said. "Students develop valuable leadership skills and experience, and organizations gain access to the ideas and energy of future business leaders." MBA students LaMecia Butler and Rahila Odhwani both serve on the Board Fellows Program's student leadership team and have witnessed the program's benefits firsthand. Butler served on the board for Amazing Place and said she especially appreciates the experience gained from applying classroom knowledge to business issues."As a board member, I've had to draw from my studied subjects to contribute in board meetings," Butler said. "It might be something as simple as using what I learned in accounting to analyze financial statements. When you have to apply those principles in real time during the course of your studies, it further justifies the importance of the instruction we receive in the classroom for our post-MBA endeavors."Odhwani, a fellow at the Women's Home, said the program provides new and valuable learning opportunities for many students, herself included. "I get a glimpse of how boards make various decisions on sponsorships, budgets and future planning, and sit on a committee to strategize development opportunities."Many of the students, including Butler, enter the program with prior experience serving nonprofits; however, Butler said she appreciates the opportunity to participate in the decisions affecting the long-term health of the organization. "As a (nonvoting) board member of a well-established nonprofit, I have the opportunity to witness more long-term strategic planning, which influences the future of the organization."Collaborative for Children's CEO and President Carol Shattuck, a 1982 Jones School graduate with a master of business in public management, can speak firsthand about the mutual benefits of the experience offered through the Board Fellows Program. Her organization has partnered with the program since its inception. "One of the things I feel very strongly about a Jones School education is the opportunity it provides students to gain real-world experience," Shattuck said. "It's so valuable for them to get outside of the classroom and see what life is like."Shattuck said the Collaborative for Children's fellows have completed several projects that have had a direct and positive impact on the organization's daily operations, including a recent analysis of the organization's fee-for-service structure. "Our organization works very hard to raise the resources needed to support the programs that we provide, many of which are offered free of charge or at low fees. Our board was interested in doing an assessment of the programs we offered for a fee to determine if we were covering costs. One of our fellows led this analysis, which provided our board with valuable information for planning our future strategies."An added benefit of the program is that it allows students to make the connections needed to plug into the Houston community. Both Odhwani and Butler said they appreciate the opportunity to network with local nonprofit organizations and volunteers."It helps me connect with several young professionals and individuals in business who want to stay actively involved in the community," Odhwani said. "Most MBAs are admittedly pressed for time, and being a fellow allows me to give back to the Houston community throughout the course of my MBA studies," Butler said. "As a result, I've been exposed to a number of causes that I can choose to support after graduation."Students and boards apply to be a part of the Jones School program and are matched based on the mutual interest of both parties. Students are chosen based on academic and professional excellence, knowledge and skills relevant to the particular agency, sensitivity and commitment to issues of community needs, financial concerns and confidentiality, and a commitment to serving the nonprofit sector.Nonprofit organizations are selected through a simple application process. They must demonstrate regular and efficient opportunities for the student to participate in board proceedings, the appropriateness of the proposed project and the promise of a high-quality mentorship relationship. The organization must also provide a formal orientation to the organization's work and expectations for board members, as well as facilitate regular communication and feedback about the progress of the Board Fellow's project."We've witnessed so much positive growth in just four short years and hope other organizations will apply to be part of the program," Platt said. The program seeks a range of boards from every sector, including those with local, regional and national orientations. Organizations interested in participating this year can contact Platt at 713-348-3724 or email@example.com by Oct. 1. For an application, visit http://business.rice.edu/BoardFellows.

Report: NBA Fines Raptors Over Drake's Durant Comments
Listen to Drake Radio on iHeartRadio
A public recruiting pitch for Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant by rapper Drake is landing the Toronto Raptors in hot water.
ESPN.com reports the NBA is fining the Raptors 25-thousand-dollars for tampering.
The penalty comes after comments Drake made about Durant, who attended a recent concert in Toronto. Drake noted to the crowd that Durant was in the audience and said he wanted to let him know what would happen if he came to play in Toronto. The fans then broke into a loud cheer and a "KD!" chant.
Durant will be a free agent in 2016. Drake was named the Raptors' global ambassador last September.

From Wilmington, south through Leland and down into Holden Beach, Josh Beaver is leaving quite a footprint.
From Wilmington, south through Leland and down into Holden Beach, Josh Beaver is leaving quite a footprint.
An N.C. State grad with a degree in mechanical engineering, Beaver turned down fancy office jobs working on nuclear projects to trudge through the muck and mire of our coastal crust, planting the foundations for new homes populating beach communities.
"My roommate at State and I both majored in mechanical engineering," said Beaver, 33. "Sure, he's wearing khakis and polo shirts, sitting in an office in Charlotte, and working on some pretty interesting stuff.
"But I wouldn't trade that for what I'm doing. One, I like the change of scenery. Two, I'm a perfectionist and I need to be in complete charge of my work. Three, I'm making more money than him.
"I was just riding home on the ferry from Fort Fisher to Southport the other afternoon after I finished pouring some concrete. It's hard to beat that in a cubicle crunching numbers."
Beaver, who grew up in Kannapolis and attended high school in China Grove, also likes to be in charge of his own schedule. This allows Beaver and his wife and sidekick, Katy, who works at First Community Bank in Holden Beach, where they live, to carve out a weekend of boating if they wish, or drive his 4-wheeler in Midway Park in Oak Island, or plan one of their treasured cruises to the Caribbean, leaving all the cares and woes of footers, rebar and threaded rods dockside.
Beaver owns B&B Footers, and for the past six years he has become a favorite of area builders because of his dogged precision. His job: excavate troughs to hold 2-foot-wide concrete slabs laced with three rebar strips, and that project vertically the thread rods that tie a new home to its foundation. This underground concrete footprint outlines the new home; inside the outline he carefully places concrete piers that will support the load once the framing and building starts.
"I want things precise," Beaver said. "I don't like to do things twice; it costs people money. That is why I think most of my contractors like using me. I double and triple check things and try not to let mistakes by that would end up costing me and them money. I spend maybe a slight more amount of time making sure things are right as opposed to having to redo it in the end. No one can be perfect, but I like to be pretty damn close."
It's only after Beaver and his crew of four finishes sloshing about in the mud and have the foundation just right that a new home can start to rise, first with the 8-inch cement blocks that begin the wall above Beaver's foundation, and that guide those thread rods so they can connect to the wood floor joists the framers prepare. Then the house is on its way.
Beaver got on his way while working for Felton Footers of Brunswick County, where he learned at the foot of owner Mike Jackson.
"Mike taught me so much," Beaver said. "I was confident I could go out on my own."
It also meant help from a second mentor, Craig Bright, a veteran brick layer who Beaver worked with and "who personally knew my work ethic. So we teamed up and it has evolved into a successful small business."
That formed the B and B name. It took $100,000 in seed money from Bright to turn Beaver's work ethic into a hefty book of business.
"I needed the money Craig put in" to secure everything from an excavator to a rebar bending machine to the liability insurance coverages, Beaver said.
The insurance cost is high because if Beaver makes a mistake with a foundation, the house could not only come tumbling down structurally, but a misreading of the blueprint of the different codes and restrictions in each town and neighborhood might force the whole process to start over – at a cost that would have many managers tossing and turning at night.
"I actually like knowing that the pressure is on me to make everything right," Beaver said. "Also, because of this, I don't have to worry if someone else did their job right. I could probably have several crews running and foremen for each crew, but the benefits do not outweigh the drawbacks in this economy. This allows me to sleep much better at night."
So he manages one four-person crew, in communities he knows, with no sweat.
"The majority of my work is centered around the Leland area. Logan Homes, Pyramid Homes and Herrington Homes are my three largest builders with another handful that I work for on a regular basis," Beaver said. "I live in Holden Beach, and unfortunately there is not an abundance of work around the area. I would prefer to stay relatively close to home, but I go where there is work, be it down toward South Carolina or north to Jacksonville."
Despite the sudden rush in home starts now, he and Katy hope to go cruising the first of the year.
"We love going on cruises because it is the ultimate in relaxation," Beaver said. "No phones, Internet or anyone bugging you. It's easy to get attached to the technologies we use every day (phones, Internet, email, Facebook).
"I think it's good to do without those for a while."

The Outlander is in a crowded field, up against best-sellers such as the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape and the Subaru Forester. Against these, the Outlander offers a comparable exterior but manages to pack seating for more people inside.
Interior space and fuel efficiency are both big strengths. Mitsubishi also says that the Outlander is one of the most fuel-efficient utility vehicles offered in the North American market with standard 7-passenger seating (it gets an EPA-estimated 31 mpg highway).
The Outlander can tow up to 3,500 pounds, which should be plenty for a small boat or a couple of jet skis. Ground clearance for the Outlander is 8.5 inches, which should give it an easier time with snow than some other crossovers.
Compare the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander against similar models
A new SEL trim debuts for 2016 and gets alloy wheels standard.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
The Mitsubishi Outlander is a seven-passenger SUV designed with restraint to be practical for families, not intended to be bold. It's revamped for 2016 with exterior changes to make it look more distinctive, including a new nose, alloy wheels, and LEDs uses for the tail lights.
The 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander cabin features 31 improvements, including more sound insulation, better door sealing, and upgraded door glass and windshield, making the it one of the quietest cars in its crossover class. Mechanically there's a new continuously variable transmission (CVT) and refinements to the suspension to improve the handling and ride.
Front-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is optional.
The Outlander is an easy-driving crossover that's quiet, comfortable, and well-mannered, although it's also soft and detached from the road.
The Mitsubishi Outlander is about the same size as the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Subaru Forester. Inside, however, it seems roomier. Its standard third-row seat is very low and only big enough for kids, much like the optional third rows on the Nissan Rogue and Kia Sorento.
The base engine is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that makes 166 horsepower and gets an EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined, with a responsive new CVT that enables it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph about one significant second quicker.
The Outlander GT model uses 3.0-liter V6 that makes 224 horsepower and comes standard with all-wheel drive, and it sounds nice, but it offers only mediocre performance on premium fuel and gets just 23 mpg combined. It can tow 3500 pounds, while the Outlander ES and Outlander SE models are rated for just 1500.
The Outlander gets top ratings in every category of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) tests, earning the coveted Top Safety Pick+ status. In government tests it gets five stars for side impacts and four stars for frontal impacts. Available active safety features include lane-departure and forward-collision warnings and adaptive cruise control.
The Outlander comes in three models: Outlander ES ($22,995), Outlander SE ($23,995), Outlander GT ($30,995).
Outlander ES comes with climate control, fabric upholstery, Bluetooth, and six-speaker 140-watt sound system. Options include leather, premium audio, and a power lift gate.
The new front end of the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander has flair, with styling the company calls its Dynamic Shield, derived from the good-looking Montero SUV. The hood has been made smoother by eliminating the center crease, and there is more chrome, reminiscent of fangs, to make it look more assertive around the new bumper. The Outlander's new design is not entirely sporty, but it does pop like never before. In profile it might even be compared to the beautiful new Volvo XC90. Although not in detail, as all the chrome and shiny plastic looks a little cheap.
The interior feels spare and understated, not particularly eye-catching or harmonious, but warm and accommodating. It's highly functional, with a simple and refreshingly straightforward instrument panel that doesn't have a lot of buttons.
For 2016, the furry old headliner has been replaced by a smoother and more modern material. The upholstery fabric is improved, instrument cluster gets contrast stitching, leather-trimmed steering wheel gets accents, and center console gets padding, and plastic faux wood has been eliminated. The Mitsubishi cabin is now equal in quality to the competition.
Every Outlander has three rows of seating, and the first two rows are supremely comfortable. The front seats are supportive for taller folks and offer a great driving position. The second row isn't flat and hard, and although it doesn't slide forward like other three-row cars, it easily folds flat for a large cargo area, with a small storage compartment in the floor, good for hiding a laptop or purse.
The third row is nearly five inches wider than before, with 2.4 inches more legroom, but it's still too low to be useful by adults.
The four-cylinder engine that comes standard in the Mitsubishi Outlander does not deliver much motivation for a 3,500-pound vehicle, but at least the new transmission makes it quicker than before, because that CVT is considerably more responsive. It's the latest unit, called the CVT8, with a lower ratio for a better launch from a standing start as well as reduced rpm on the freeway. It's at ease on flat roads at lower speeds, but it's indecisive on uphill grades, and we'd say it's barely adequate for this seven-passenger vehicle.
The 3.0-liter V6 that comes in the GT is disappointing for a couple of reasons. Its torque only comes on at higher revs, and not only is it thirsty at 23 mpg, it needs Premium gasoline. At least its 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters spices up the drive.
The suspension is typical for a crossover, with MacPherson struts in front and a new multi-link rear geometry. To improve the ride and handling, Mitsubishi reinforced the front suspension crossmember, changed the front and rear spring rates, retuned the front shocks, and replaced the rear shocks with larger ones. Mitsubishi says the suspension is sportier, but we'd say it's still far from sporty. However it's less harsh than before, and will better satisfy shoppers in this class.
The electric power steering is precise and firm, making the turn-in confidence-inspiring.
Mitsubishi has many years of experience with all-wheel drive, including professional rally racing. The latest system is called S-AWC, and features an electronically controlled center coupling and open rear differential. It uses a separate active front differential to get the optimum torque split in every situation, including when just one wheel is on ice. We were able to test the Outlander off the highway and found the suspension and AWD are quite capable on unpaved trails.
Despite its flaws, if you need a seven-seat affordable family crossover SUV, the Outlander SE is the best bang for the buck.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

As much as I would say the Bills probably need a new QB if they pick 9th next year, it's hard to imagine there being any value drafting the fifth QB in that spot, even with it looking deep in top tier talent so far at this point.
The Bills have other significant needs. If they're determined to take a QB first, they would probably still trade down. With the run on that position, there'd be a lot of top end talent left. Failing that, or not wanting to trade down, there are other positions that would likely be better value. WR, 4-3 OLB, maybe a Safety or another DE to throw into the rotation.
The second I disagree with as well. Value is certainly here this time, but OT was just addressed with a high second round pick this year. Seeing as rookies often take more than a year to get up to speed, I don't see Buffalo giving up on both him and Hairston so quickly.
If the Bills do pass on a QB in the first round, this would be a good spot to try one. Otherwise, see my list from the first round suggestions and add in TE.

Back-to-back CBs? No. We've still got Talib. I'd prefer DT, LB, FS, OT, C, DE (in that order) at that pick before another CB.

That was a mistake on my end. I'll fix it.

Jonathan Banks in the 1st round would be very solid for the Bears in round one its a position where we need youth and Banks skill set fits our scheme Nico Johnson in the 2nd isnt so good I question his range a little which isnt a fit for the MLB spot in our scheme where it is key I would go with another prospect from Alabama there with OG Chance Warmack every one of our 2 deep interior Olinemen are out of contract after this season.

Two solid Vikings picks, I wouldn't mind a different QB, Tyler Wilson at the top of round one, and I'm not 100% sure the Vikings would go with QB at the top of round one, but I guess if they finish that poorly it would be because Ponder shows he can't cut it and regresses.

A WR or an OLB is more realistic.

Brian Johnsen and Sebastian Schmaling would have been great candidates for a residential architect Rising Star award, but the trajectory of their rise was so steep that they simply got ahead of us. Founded in 2003, Johnsen Schmaling Architects (JSA) first came to our attention less than three years later, when its Parts House Pavilion, an ingeniously economical rooftop dining space, won a residential architect Design Award. In 2007, the Milwaukee-based firm's second design awards entry, Camouflage House, walked off with Project of the Year honors from our jury. In both cases, we were struck by the assuredness of the work—which is both rigorously modern and subtly, inventively contextual—and by its narrative clarity. The projects not only showed how they were made, but also told the story of their design. Subsequent JSA projects have followed a similar path. Varied in setting, program, and response, they assemble simple forms with a reductive logic whose outcomes seem—like the best poetry—both novel and inevitable.
"Our goal throughout is to distill the design to its very essence," says Schmaling, AIA, LEED AP. "Not as an aesthetic dogma," he adds, but, rather, to fully resolve the matter at hand. The partners began developing their approach to practice in the mid-1990s, when they met as graduate students at the University of Wisconsin School of Architecture and Urban Planning. Johnsen, AIA, is a native of Chicago, while Schmaling grew up in Berlin, but each recognized in the other a natural ally. "We have a sort of blind trust in each other's capabilities," says Schmaling, who describes their collaborative method as "two ideas collide and you see what happens."
"You have this constant critique to question all of your assumptions," Schmaling says, "to ask, 'Do we really need this?' That dialogue is healthy. It's easy to agree with yourself." In its intellectually driven approach, the four-person firm is "almost an extension of the studio we were in 15 years ago as students," with the partners tackling each project much as they would an academic assignment. "We are building a lot of models, we are diagramming a lot, we are analyzing site and context … for us, it's the only way to make sense out of what we're doing." More than simply an instrument of design and presentation, he adds, "every one of our models is a beautiful little artifact, part of the building."
In 2003, Milwaukee was not exactly overrun with this breed of architecture, and that presented an opportunity. "It was very fortuitous for us," Johnsen says. "No one was doing what we had to offer: highly detailed, very clean, modern architecture." The city was experiencing something of a post-industrial renaissance, and the firm's intellectual approach appealed to educated urbanites. "It showed the process and the story line of how we come up with our ideas," Johnsen says. All of those models, exploded axonometric drawings, and written rationales gave clients "a much deeper idea of where the architecture comes from." As a result, "the fact that it looked so different wasn't as frightening."
Architectural League of New York program director Anne Rieselbach wasn't frightened when she first encountered JSA's work, but she may have been a bit shocked. "I'm also from Milwaukee," Rieselbach says. "Seeing the work and knowing where it was built … it would still stand out in L.A., but it way stands out in Milwaukee." The league awarded Johnsen and Schmaling a spot in its Emerging Voices lecture series in 2008, and Rieselbach plans to include their address in a 30-year anthology of the program. "There's a kind of joy in their architecture and the way they talk about their practice," she says, "a willingness to break the rules, not in a transgressive way, but in a way that really amplifies the work. They have a distinctive body of work, and they're clearly developing it. In each project, there's the intensification of an idea."
"There's always a set of issues that we're interested in at the time, in materials or technology," Schmaling explains, and each project presents the opportunity to explore one or two themes that have drawn the partners' focus. The strength of the work lies in reducing each design problem to its simplest terms and solving it in the most direct and economical way possible. JSA's success in doing so increasingly has drawn clients from beyond its heartland base. "We're working for a couple from New York on a house in Montana," Schmaling notes, and they're also acting as the design firm on a music school in Bahrain. But JSA's method remains as it always has been. "When we went into practice," Schmaling says, "we kind of naively said that whatever comes to our door, that's what will sustain us. That's served us very well."

Often in Excel we're looking to create headers and footers with data information in them. Things like page numbers, file names, dates, times, etc…
Anyway, while we're creating our headers and footers there's always some place where we can choose to insert this stuff, but wouldn't it be faster if we just knew a couple of characters to do the same job?
Yeah – I thought so too.
With that said, let's get to the information you need to speed up your header and footer work.
With just a few codes to remember you can set up your Excel headers and footers with all the data you need.

to Jenny's Pet Stuff
Welcome to Jenny's Pet Stuff where your pet's desire for a new, soft and cuddly bed can be met. (Your pets may not have realized they wanted a new bed until you bring home one or more of these.)
These unique beds will make them the envy of the neighborhood. They will brag about sleeping inside a mouse, being swallowed by a fish, their indoor camping adventures or their lovely new second home.
Your pet doesn't like to crawl into things? Don't despair - I have beds for them too. There is a reversible throw to stretch out on - sherpa for the winter and fabric for the summer. Then there is the fleece round bed that can be adjusted for snugness. (Do you know your pet's snug number??)
Pets - don't think I've forgotten your owners. They have nice soft pillows to choose from that would be a colorful accent to any room in your home. Then there are the environmentally-friendly cloth bags that are perfect for carrying home lots of treats for you. No matter if you have a cat, dog, ferret, guinea pig or other small pet, you'll find a bed to suit. All the items are custom-made in my home in Brattleboro,Vermont and they can all be machine washed and dried.

I expect to go the same process this generation as the previous. Nintendo > Sony > Xbox.
Wii first day for because its Nintendo and something new and a lot cheaper than PS3. Sony for Valkyria Chronicles, Blu-Ray and $100 gift card promo. Used Xbox for Rock Band Garage and the few other exclusives, although the Sony exclusives tend to be more interesting, haven't touched Halo since 2 nor any Gears of War.
It has built in DVR features, but I think Sony is doing it right with the streaming chip.
Microfsoft did they they are putting down more into cloud computing to allow better multiplayer service and gasp 64/128 online matches! Sony has proven larger matches are possible with MAC on the PS3.
Best thing ever!
All Xbox One units will ship with a Kinect sensor, and the Xbox One must have the new Kinect sensor plugged in at all times in order to run, said Microsoft representatives in a Q&A about the console.
Xbox 360 Kinect owners had some trouble today watching Microsoft's Xbox One reveal due to device's response to "Xbox" commands spoken during the livestream.
Several users took to Twitter to document their problems, which included pausing, opening Xbox Live or quitting the stream entirely. Polygon's own reviews editors Arthur Gies experienced similar problems with his Kinect while watching the stream.
That was fun.
Microsoft reveals the XBox-359 internet enabled blue-ray (tm Sony Inc.) player complete with sports subscription service, internet phone capabilities and an interactive user interface to rival that found on many smart T.V.s. The reveal was made in front of a live audience to the collective roar of one hand clapping. My theory is the crowed were asked to kerb their enthusiasm and keep the noise down so as not to interfere with the demonstrations of the new voice control system, unusually for Americans they complied without a single Whoop or Yahoo.
Though technical details were few, the -359 appears to pack an astoundingly predictable array of technology into what is best described as a box of classic design. So classic a design that several members of press asked 'where do you put the tapes'? Laughing, a Microsoft representative replied: 'Tapes from the 1980s? No, no. The new XBox isn't designed to support your 30 year old tapes, in fact it doesn't even support the games you bought in 2012'.
The highlight feature is without doubt the new Kinect system. Its much improved high definition always seeing eye now backed by greater analytical powers that it may track your every move even in a darkened room, while a soft power button ensures it is always ready and will never be switched off by accident. Combined with the recommended 'always on' internet connection and the security provided by three previously untested operating systems it's possible this box could be providing countless hours of live entertainment to people all around the world, without the original owner having to lift so much as a finger.
Several industry bigwigs took to the stage to show support for the new product. A Microsoft representative explained how the -359 helped with his fantasies about tall black men. An EA representative showed how you could watch football, how you could watch game trailers and how you could watch football and game trailers at the same time.
The rest of the presentation went by in a blur as I had my mouse pointer pressed firmly on the fast forward button. Too much of a good thing this early in week may lead to disappointment come the weekend. I'll no doubt review the footage I missed for giggles in the days to come. In summary I must say I do not think I have ever before watched a presentation quite like this one.
There is strong speculation that a further announcement to made at E3 will confirm the -359's ability to play computer games.
I think it's going to be a success just like the Kinect, it'll end up bringing down video games even lower, and have more ways of screwing with the consumer than XboxLive, but it'll sell. I mean, if you spend half a billion on marketing something, it's guaranteed to sell shit loads.
As for games, I'd say they were holding them off for E3. That's when the console crowd will go crawling back to em, when they see a new Halo and whathaveyou.
It'll sell units to fanboys and for some exclusives, but I'm calling it now, a bunch of the original IPs they announce are going to be Kinect games that nobody actually wants.
Beyond that I see it going the way of the WiiU. It looks to have all the same potential issues that has.
All I got from this all funny thing is: http://www.polygon.com/2013/5/22/435...e-at-any-point
Yay, probability of more games with savegames coming back!
Now where can I get cheap PS2 games and second controler? Or when PS3 will be cheaper?
its SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT SHIT. I TELL YOU SHIT! SHITTTT
and I havent even read or heard anything about it.
There seems to be some confusion on the subject of the always online thing. I think it's probably worth waiting for the full details before rushing to judgement. That said, I think in countries with stable broadband infrastructures, it isn't a dealbreaker for most people. Lots of devices' usefulness is proportional to how often they're connected to the internet - tablets/computers/smartphones. A lot of games on my N7 refuse to work without an internet connection - licence checking etc. I didn't even find this out until i was somewhere without wifi (I don't have the SIM version). The vast majority of the target market for the One, in "developed" countries, will likely be barely aware of the "at least once a day" internet requirement. For most of these people, it will be a case of "oh, I have to put in my wifi key" the first time they turn it on, then after that, they'll forget about it. That doesn't mean there won't be frustration when connections go down or cloud services are interrupted. It doesn't mean there won't be annoying lag and crap like that. It just means I don't think it will ultimately put off most customers.
I know that won't be a popular opinion, but the truth is, for all the pissing and moaning we do about always on DRM, Diablo 3 and Sim City have sold rather well. Granted these are games not consoles and when they do go down you have something else to play, but it's not that big a leap from a single-player game that must be online at all times, to a console that must be online at least once a day.
MS and Sony have not announced different strategies for second hand games - MS has just given more details. Sony's claims of "we'll do right by consumers and developers" is basically just like saying "there'll be a system for it - you won't just be able to sell your disks back to Game".
I liked the intelligent TV stuff and the fusion of that with VOD - all your tv, video, movie rentals in one location. It's more convenient than the silly fragmentation we have at the moment. You can rent movies through smart tv, watch through netflix on your console, rent things through your digital set top box. Attempting to make the xbox a central device for everything you do through your tv is a smart move on MS' part, if it works. All that said, the question is: how well will all that crap work outside the US? Will my xbox be able to control my set top box? How? Is there some open standard in HDMI for sending commands back to the cable box? I think if the TV integration is US only, it's a big blow to the sales pitch. It basically dismantles the USP. The One becomes what the 360 is today - an outlet for VOD and a games console.
Console games even now are far less connected, it took a significant amount of time into the current generation to even got over 50% connected at one point at least. Consumers are more used to buy in retail and the online store situation is confused by geography. The stores only exist in certain valid countries and if you want to sign up from other countries you end up having to fake the region you're in or buying everything in US currency. In those situations it is far more alienating to consumers to make them go online. For steam the barrier for entry was far smaller and has become tiny.
Always online is different again as it becomes about reliability of connection.
Now to annouce next gen features, quicksave/save state!
To be fair this is more like the save state of emulators than quicksave. But Quicksave is usually missing from console games (maybe due to not having a button to hit to quicksave).
The only good thing I have seen is multiple Live profiles for One console/subscription. I would like this to come to steam in some form. Android just got it but has its limits.
But that seems to be par for the course with Microsoft. They almost seem like they don't want us to throw money at them; they're painfully slow at introducing the Surface and Surface Pro tablets, even though sales in the US are disappointing (so it's not like they just have insufficient supply).
Seems people have landed on Xbone as the acronym, which I approve of.
The event would have gone a lot better if only they had invited Steve Ballmer. The guy turns into a fucking tornado after snorting coke.
From the tech side, that save/load requires a good chunk of memory. I have heard that those 8 ram gigs may come down to 4.5 to allow this process. Not that 8 main ram gigs are required for any current game, either PC or console.
Do we already know about GPU specs?
I think several people would be amazed at the large number of households that are not connected to the internet across the first world. I am soon to be without internet for several months myself. Huray for normal circumstances.
Always-online or forced connectivity once a day don't make a jot of difference. High speed stable internet connections are not something to be taken for granted. Even if they were I would still feel uncomfortable about having such restrictions placed on me arbitrarily. but they aren't.
ecat I love your post

The collaboration between PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Partnership for New York City that developed Cities of Opportunity began seven years ago in the wake of 9/11. The enormous impact of 9/11 on companies and citizens caused a reassessment of what needed to be done to keep New York-- and, by extension, other cities like it-- vibrant engines of a globalizing economy.
What direction will cities go in years to come? What key ingredients will be required to keep them strong? Which cities are actually doing things correctly, and what can be learned?
PwC and the Partnership joined to answer these questions. Both organizations hold important stakes in the healthy growth of cities. The Partnership for New York City is a network of business leaders dedicated to enhancing the economy of the five boroughs of New York City and to maintaining the city's position as the center of world commerce, finance and innovation. PricewaterhouseCoopers is a partnership itself— but one with a strong presence and mutual self-interest in the health of the 770 cities in which it operates around the world.
This second edition of our report is significantly more ambitious than the first, extending from 11 cities and 32 variables in our 2007 study to 20 cities and 51 variables now.
Three key factors governed the cities we chose:
Some intuitively compelling cities were left off the list because they failed to meet all three criteria. For instance, Bangalore is a center of technology, Atlanta is a headquarters city, but neither is a true financial capital.
In terms of the data indicators selected, we constructed a robust sampling of variables, each of which had to be: relevant; consistent across the sample; publicly available and collectible; current; free of skewing from local nuances; and truly reflective of a city's quality or power.
These criteria eliminated cities like Milan and Zurich, which lacked some of the data needed.
Some variables, like the number of Wi-Fi zones, that once looked promising as representing the strength of a city's technological infrastructure, are now commonplace. In fact, to measure the variable accurately would have required a count of all wired coffee shops and launderettes in each city. Other promising indicators fail to reflect accurately a city's dynamism. For instance, patent filings do signal intellectual capital. But the innovations themselves may have been generated far from the city in which the paperwork was registered.
The study's result is an unbiased, quality controlled and rich look at the pulse of key cities at the heart of the interconnected financial and commercial world.

Man charged in stabbing
Schenectady Police say Corey Daniels, 27, is charged with assault after they found a man stabbed around 10:00 a.m. Thursday morning at 517 Union Street, the Union Inn.
The 26-year old victim told police that the pair had been drinking and then they argued. At that time, Daniels chased him into the basement of the Union Inn where he beat him with a "billy club" type object and cut him several times, police said.
Officers say the male victim was bleeding from his forearms, wrists and hands and was treated on scene by members of the Schenectady Fire Department and taken to Ellis Hospital (Nott St.) by Mohawk Ambulance.
In tracking Daniels, police say he refused to answer his apartment door for police who eventually broke it in. He is charged with felony assault, Criminal Possession of a Weapon (4th Degree, Class-A Misdemeanor), Obstruction of Governmental Administration (2nd Degree, Class-A Misdemeanor), Harassment (2nd Degree, Violation).

Back to School Blues?
August 25th, 2010
It's that time of year once again: the new school year.
Few phrases in the English language evoke such varied and passionate responses as "back to school". Some students will simply give a sad little shake of their head, while others will yell out, "No Way!" A few will bravely admit that boredom has overtaken what they once looked forward to as the endless days of summer.
The same varied responses can be found when asking parents their feelings on the subject. You will find some parents gleefully humming along to the school supply commercials that celebrate the season as the "most wonderful time of the year." However, other parents prefer the unscheduled days on the calendar to those filled with early morning alarms, homework, and sports practices. It seems that when it comes to this unofficial 5th season of the year, the "back to school" season, you either love it or you hate it.
I won't lie to you…I love it! I have always looked forward to the return to school with just as much gusto as I looked forward to the start of summer. As a child, my favorite back to school memories centered on the fun of shopping for new clothes and the excitement of reuniting with my friends. Now, as a parent, I look forward to this time of year more than ever; I find that it brings a welcome return to normalcy, a return to order from the chaos of the summer. Heading back to school is similar to ringing in the New Year each January 1st. It represents a new slate, a blank slate on which all things are possible. A new school year can offer a chance for redemption, a gateway to new beginnings, and endless opportunities to do all the things you meant to do last year.
All that said, whether you love it or hate it, you can't stop back to school from coming. And, lucky for you, the Cecil County Public Library is here to help. Whether you are faced with puzzling homework assignments, challenging book reports, or demanding science fair projects, the librarians at all of the local branches are waiting eagerly to assist you. No question is too big or too silly. Just stop in and take advantage of all the services that the library has to offer, and let us help to make your transition to the back to school season as easy as possible.
So, where do you stand? Are you singing the back to school blues or are you doing a happy dance? Please share your thoughts and your memories of going back to school!

So there I was perusing Facebook as my day was winding down, and that's when I stumbled upon Osprey's Blues and Brews Giveaway. I've always wanted to attend Blues and Brews, so entering the giveaway was really a no-brainer; the incredible tent by Colorado Yurt along with the two Osprey packs only sweetened the deal and added to an already incredible prize pack!
I spent several minutes (okay, maybe a bit longer) daydreaming about the possibility of winning the contest, picturing myself in Telluride Town Park listening to legends like The Black Crowes and Otis Taylor while sipping on (or maybe chugging) tasty glasses of Colorado microbrews. I thought about what colors my new Osprey packs would be – I thought about how wild it would be to even win two new Osprey packs, and I thought about how serene and luxurious it would feel to "glamp" in a tent referred to as "a dwelling for the soul." Then reality hit me and my fleeting thoughts reminded me that I've never won anything, and I likely wouldn't start now. It was a nice dream though!
It was only once I completely forgot about even entering the contest that I received a message from Osprey saying: "Congratulations! You won the Blues and Brews Giveaway!" Well, holy guacamole, Batman – the odds were definitely in my favor this time. I quickly began making arrangements to pack up and head to Telluride for what would turn out to be an unforgettable weekend thanks to Telluride Blues and Brews, Osprey Packs and Colorado Yurt.
While I was still riding high on a wave of, "is this really happening?" the mail man assured me it was when he delivered a great big box of new Osprey packs right to my door! My plus one and I packed up our new Porter 46s with all of our overnight glamping essentials and our new Talon 22s with our daily festival supplies and headed out the door for our trip to Telluride!
The tent by Colorado Yurt Company was pitched in a prime camping location in the far corner of the campground behind Telluride Town Park. We could even see the stage from our patio (and yes, you read that right – there was a patio)! In true glamping nature Colorado Yurt Company ensured we had all of the essentials – and then some. It was luxurious to camp in a tent so big you could walk around in it; the tent included a full-size bed with two comforters, a leather chair, a power strip, a heater, a rug and more.
This year was Telluride Blues and Brews' 20th anniversary, and they did not disappoint. The music kept people dancing even when Town Park turned into a mud pit and the rain had no end in sight. The grand tasting was incredible; we were able to sample a couple dozen different microbrews in the course of three hours, and let me be the first to tell you they were all unique and delicious. Old man winter even made a debut during the grand tasting as the snow capped peaks surrounding Telluride came out of the fog – it really was the icing on the cake.
This unforgettable weekend came with a little bit of everything: we ran into some old friends, made some new friends, danced in the rain, got sunburnt, enjoyed killer views complete with rainbows and snow, drank just the right amount of beer and enjoyed the local scene.
Thanks to Osprey Packs, Telluride Blues and Brews and Colorado Yurt Company for a truly unforgettable experience!
