§ 47.17. Lease or rental of vehicles and rolling stock.
(a) Introduction. This ruling supersedes Rulings Numbers 74, 76, 77, 78 and 132, and becomes effective upon the date of issue (See 6 Pa.B. 9 (January 2, 1976)). Upon its effective date, the 16 2/3% exemption under former Ruling No. 76, pertaining to charges for gasoline, is no longer in effect. This ruling also pertains to the taxability of rolling stock for the period from March 4, 1971, through October 16, 1974. Prior and subsequent to this period, rolling stock was and is specifically excluded from taxability by statutory amendment. See subsection (c)(1)(i)(B).
(b) Definitions. The following words and terms, when used in this section, have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
Lease agreementA contract whereby the lessee obtains or has the right to possession or custody of a vehicle in exchange for lease payments.
Lease paymentsFull consideration paid or delivered or promised to be paid or delivered to the lessor for a lease period under a lease agreement, whether it be money or otherwise, even though consideration is separately stated and designated as payment for service, maintenance, insurance, repairs, depreciation or otherwise.
(i) Maintenance, insurance or repairs obtained by lessee. When a lessee is required pursuant to a lease agreement to provide or obtain maintenance, insurance or repairs, any payment made by the lessee to a vendor other than the lessor for maintenance, insurance or repairs shall be included by the lessor as part of the lease payments for the purpose of computing tax, unless tax was charged by the vendor who provided the maintenance, insurance or repairs.
(ii) Gasoline charges. Separate sales of gasoline by a lessor to a lessee are not subject to tax. A transfer of gasoline to a lessee is not considered to be a separate sale unless the bill or sales invoice to the lessee separately states the number of gallons of gasoline transferred, and either the charge per gallon or the total charges made for gasoline. Charges for gasoline computed on the basis of the mileage a leased vehicle is driven, rather than upon the actual quantity of gasoline transferred to the lessee, are therefore subject to tax.
Lease periodThe interval of time established by the lessor and lessee which occurs between successive lease payments in accordance with the lease agreement, but this interval may not exceed 31 days. In circumstances when the lessor and lessee establish an interval between successive payments which exceeds 31 days, the Department will assume lease periods on a month-to-month basis beginning with the first day of the first complete month subsequent to the execution of the lease agreement.
LessorA person who is engaged in the business of leasing or renting vehicles.
Public utility common carrierA public utility common carrier is a public utility which is registered as a common carrier with either the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission or the Interstate Commerce Commission and is organized to perform, and does, in fact, perform services affected with a public interest, and which holds itself out to the general public to carry goods or persons without discrimination and for compensation. An independent contractor (that is, one who reserves the right to refuse to serve any person at his discretion and the power to fix his rates or charges by individual contract with the person or persons with whom he contracts) is not a common carrier.
ResidentA person who is domiciled in this Commonwealth, maintaining a permanent place of abode within this Commonwealth and spends in the aggregate more than 60 days of the year within this Commonwealth, incorporated under the law of the Commonwealth, authorized to do business or doing business within this Commonwealth, or maintaining a place of business within the Commonwealth.
Rolling stockA device which is used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks, including, but not limited to, locomotives, flat cars, box cars, coal cars, coaches, cabooses and other railroad cars. Rolling stock includes the type of property described even though it may be owned by persons other than railroads.
VehicleA device in, upon or by which a person or property is or may be transported or drawn, including, but not limited to, automobiles, trucks, trailers, tractors, power shovels, road machinery and agricultural machinery. The term does not include devices moved by human power, vehicles which are designed to travel solely through air or water, or a device which is used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks.
(c) Scope. Use of vehicles and rolling stock is subject to tax as follows:
(1) Vehicles. Taxability of vehicles shall conform with the following:
(i) Taxability of lease payments. Taxability of lease payments shall conform with the following:
(A) Leases executed within this Commonwealth. All lease payments made in accordance with lease agreements executed within this Commonwealth are subject to tax.
(B) Leases executed outside this Commonwealth. Leases executed outside this Commonwealth shall conform with the following:
(I) Resident. A lease payment made in accordance with a lease agreement executed outside this Commonwealth by a resident is subject to tax if during the corresponding lease period the vehicle is brought within the geographical boundaries of this Commonwealth; unless, the lessee is otherwise exempt under subsection (d).
(II) Nonresident. A lease payment made in accordance with a lease agreement executed outside this Commonwealth by a nonresident lessee is subject to tax if during the corresponding lease period the vehicle is used within the Commonwealth more than 7 days; unless, the nonresident lessee is exempt as a tourist or vacationer or is otherwise exempt under subsection (d).
(C) Lease with option to buy. When a lease agreement involves an option to buy, sales tax is applicable to lease payments as well as any payment made in exercising the option to buy.
(ii) Use of vehicles or parts therefor by lessors. Use of vehicles or parts therefor by lessors shall conform with the following:
(A) Resident. A vehicle or parts therefor used within this Commonwealth by a resident lessor for a purpose other than leasing makes the property subject to use tax based on the purchase price paid by the lessor in his initial purchase of the property. However, if the property was purchased more than 6 months prior to its first taxable use, tax may be computed and reported on the fair market value of the property at the time of such taxable use.
(B) Nonresident. The use of a vehicle or parts therefor within this Commonwealth for a period of more than 7 days, for any purpose other than leasing, makes the property subject to use tax if the lessor is not a tourist or vacationer. Tax is based on the original purchase price; or if purchased more than 6 months prior to its first taxable use, then on the fair market value at the time of the taxable use. The option of basing the tax on the fair market value is an election which shall be made by the taxpayer.
(2) Rolling stock. Taxability of rolling stock shall conform with the following:
(i) Taxable period. Lease payments made from March 4, 1971, through October 16, 1974, for the leasing of rolling stock are subject to tax in precisely the same manner as lease payments for the leasing of vehicles under paragraph (1)(i). Thus, the taxability of lease payments made for the leasing of rolling stock may be determined by substituting rolling stock for vehicles in paragraph (1)(i). Similarly, the use of rolling stock within this Commonwealth from March 4, 1971, through October 16, 1974, is subject to tax in precisely the same manner as the use of vehicles under paragraph (1)(i)(B)(II). Thus, tax liability for the use of rolling stock during this period may be determined by substituting rolling stock for vehicles in paragraph (1)(ii). Subsections (d)(f), dealing with exemptions, credits against tax, and procedures, also apply to the leasing or rental of rolling stock during the taxable period.
(ii) Nontaxable period. Lease payments made prior to March 4, 1971, or subsequent to October 16, 1974, for the leasing of rolling stock are specifically excluded from tax by statutory amendment. Similarly, the use of rolling stock within this Commonwealth prior to March 4, 1971, or subsequent to October 16, 1974, is specifically excluded from tax by statutory amendment.
(d) Exemptions. Exemptions shall conform with the following:
(1) Purchases of vehicles or parts, lubricants or repairs therefor by lessors. Lessors are not subject to tax upon their purchase or lease of vehicles which are purchased for leasing. Also, repair services, repair parts, replacement parts or lubricants purchased for vehicles which are used for leasing are exempt from tax. This exemption does not apply to tools, equipment and supplies used in connection with the repairing or servicing of leased vehicles.
(2) Lease by exempt organizations. A vehicle leased by any one of the following individuals or organizations is exempt from tax:
(i) Charitable organization, volunteer firemens organization, religious organization or nonprofit educational institution if the vehicle is for use in any activity which bears a reasonable relationship to the purpose for which the organization or institution exists. See § 32.21 (relating to charitable, volunteer firemens and religious organizations, and nonprofit educational institutions).
(ii) United States Government. See § 32.22 (relating to sales to the United States Government or within areas subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Government).
(iii) Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or its political subdivisions. See § 32.23 (relating to sales to the Commonwealth or its political subdivisions and sales by the Commonwealth and its political subdivisions).
(iv) Ambassadors, ministers and consular officers of foreign governments. See § 32.24 (relating to sales to ambassadors, ministers and consular officers of foreign governments).
(v) Federal credit unions organized under the provisions of the Federal Credit Union Act (12 U.S.C.A. § § 17511795k). See § 48.4 (relating to credit unions).
(vi) Pennsylvania credit unions formed and incorporated under 17 Pa.C.S. § § 1011504 (relating to the Credit Union Code). See § 48.4.
(vii) Public authorities created under the Municipal Authorities Acts of 1945 (53 P. S. § § 301322). See § 32.23.
(viii) Cooperative agricultural associations required to pay corporate net income tax under the provisions of the Co-operative Agricultural Association Corporate Net Income Tax Act (72 P. S. § § 3420-213420-30). See § 44.2 (relating to cooperative agricultural associations).
(ix) Electric cooperative corporations formed under 15 Pa.C.S. § § 73017359 (relating to the Electric Cooperative Law of 1990). See § 45.1 (relating to exemption of electric cooperative corporations).
(x) Any other organization claiming an exempt status under a particular statute shall make application to the Bureau of Sales and Use Tax (Attention: Legal Division) for approval to use the exemption.
(3) Public utility common carrier exemption. The lease of vehicles by a public utility common carrier, engaged in business as a common carrier is exempt from tax if the vehicles are predominantly used directly by the lessee in performing a public utility service. This exemption also applies to the purchase of supplies, repair parts and accessories for such vehicles. The lease of vehicles as well as supplies, repair parts and accessories for the vehicles by any other public utility service are subject to tax.
(4) Manufacturing, processing or farming exemptions. The manufacturing, processing or farming exemption does not apply to the lease of any vehicles required to be registered under 75 Pa.C.S. § § 1019821. Supplies, repair parts or accessories for the vehicles are taxable unless purchased by the lessor.
(e) Credits against tax. A credit against tax shall be granted, with respect to vehicles purchased or leased for use outside this Commonwealth, equal to the tax paid to another state by reason of the imposition by the other state of a tax similar to the tax imposed by Article II of the TRC (72 P. S. § § 72017282), provided, however, that no credit shall be granted unless such other state grants substantially similar tax relief by reason of the payment of tax under Article II of the TRC. Tax paid by a lessor on his purchase of vehicles cannot be credited against taxes due from a lessee to the lessor on lease payments. A credit listing of the states can be obtained upon request from this Bureau.
(f) Procedures. Procedures for records and claiming exemptions shall conform with the following:
(1) Records. All lessors shall keep books that enable the Department to accurately determine at any time the amount of tax collected and remitted upon each individual vehicle. The lessor shall identify each vehicle by reference to the specific registration number and state of registration. The identification shall be made upon the books and records of the lessor and upon all billings and invoices to customers.
(2) Procedure for claiming exemption. A lessee claiming exemption must tender to the lessor a properly executed Blanket Exemption Certificate.
The provisions of this § 47.17 adopted January 2, 1976, effective January 3, 1976, 6 Pa.B. 9; amended March 19, 1993, effective March 20, 1993, 23 Pa.B. 1322. Immediately preceding text appears at serial pages (249848) to (249853).

Kenny Chesney Announces FREE Concert!
photo credit to Getty Images
Kenny announced that he'll be performing one free concert for his fans this summer!
Kenny will play a beach concert, the Flora-Bama-Jama, on August 16 at The Flora-Bama, on the state line between Orange Beach, AL, and Pensacola, FL.
It's definitely a bit of a drive for us here in Baltimore, but wouldn't a road trip to Florida be the perfect way to wrap up your summer?!
Kenny had this to say about the concert:
"I've been holed up making a record for the last year ... and anyone who knows me knows how much I miss playing, miss the fans, but especially miss the culture the people who love this music bring with them. Obviously, this isn't going to be one of those huge shows we do, but it's gonna be a long day, a whole lotta music and even more fun."

Albuquerque NM (SPX) Mar 09, 2006
Sandia's Z machine has produced plasmas that exceed temperatures of 2 billion degrees Kelvin -- hotter than the interiors of stars. The unexpectedly hot output, if its cause were understood and harnessed, could eventually mean that smaller, less costly nuclear fusion plants would produce the same amount of energy as larger plants.
The phenomena also may explain how astrophysical entities like solar flares maintain their extreme temperatures.
The very high radiation output also creates new experimental environments to help validate computer codes responsible for maintaining a reliable nuclear weapons stockpile safely and securely -- the principle mission of the Z facility.
"At first, we were disbelieving," says Sandia project lead Chris Deeney. "We repeated the experiment many times to make sure we had a true result and not an 'Ooops'!"
The results, recorded by spectrometers and confirmed by computer models created by John Apruzese and colleagues at Naval Research Laboratory, have held up over 14 months of additional tests.
A description of the achievement, as well as a possible explanation by Sandia consultant Malcolm Haines, well-known for his work in Z pinches at the Imperial College in London, appeared in the Feb. 24 Physical Review Letters.
Sandia is a National Nuclear Security Administration laboratory.
What happened and why?
Z's energies in these experiments raised several questions.
First, the radiated x-ray output was as much as four times the expected kinetic energy input.
Ordinarily, in non-nuclear reactions, output energies are less -- not greater -- than the total input energies. More energy had to be getting in to balance the books, but from where could it come?
Second, and more unusually, high ion temperatures were sustained after the plasma had stagnated -- that is, after its ions had presumably lost motion and therefore energy and therefore heat -- as though yet again some unknown agent was providing an additional energy source to the ions.
Sandia's Z machine normally works like this: 20 million amps of electricity pass through a small core of vertical tungsten wires finer than human hairs. The core is about the size of a spool of thread. The wires dissolve instantly into a cloud of charged particles called a plasma.
The plasma, caught in the grip of the very strong magnetic field accompanying the electrical current, is compressed to the thickness of a pencil lead. This happens very rapidly, at a velocity that would fly a plane from New York to San Francisco in several seconds.
At that point, the ions and electrons have nowhere further to go. Like a speeding car hitting a brick wall, they stop suddenly, releasing energy in the form of X-rays that reach temperatures of several million degrees -- the temperature of solar flares.
The new achievement -- temperatures of billions of degrees -- was obtained in part by substituting steel wires in cylindrical arrays 55 mm to 80 mm in diameter for the more typical tungsten wire arrays, approximately only 20 mm in diameter. The higher velocities achieved over these longer distances were part of the reason for the higher temperatures.
(The use of steel allowed for detailed spectroscopic measurements of these temperatures impossible to obtain with tungsten.)
Haines theorized that the rapid conversion of magnetic energy to a very high ion plasma temperature was achieved by unexpected instabilities at the point of ordinary stagnation: that is, the point at which ions and electrons should have been unable to travel further. The plasma should have collapsed, its internal energy radiated away. But for approximately 10 nanoseconds, some unknown energy was still pushing back against the magnetic field.
Haines' explanation theorizes that Z's magnetic energies create microturbulences that increase the kinetic energies of ions caught in the field's grip. Already hot, the extra jolt of kinetic energy then produces increased heat, as ions and their accompanying electrons release energy through friction-like viscous mixing even after they should have been exhausted.
High temperatures previously had been assumed to be produced entirely by the kinetic flight and intersection of ions and electrons, unaided by accompanying microturbulent fields.
Z is housed in a flat-roofed building about the size and shape of an aging high-school gymnasium.
This work has already prompted other studies at Sandia and at the University of Nevada at Reno.

Shanghai Launches Clean Electricity Scheme
Shanghai (AFP) Mar 09, 2006
Shanghai residents can for the first time buy "clean power" after solar and wind-generated electricity was this week included in the Chinese city's power grid, the firm behind the project said Wednesday. The project by Shanghai Municipal Electricity Power company is aimed at cleaning up Shanghai's polluted environment, company spokesman Yu Qinde said.

(March 26, 3:13 p.m. EST) -- The FBI is investigating the death of a 62-year-old woman onboard Enchantment of the Seas. The investigation is "still in flux," according to an FBI spokesman, but details on the woman's identity and possible cause of death might be released as soon as Wednesday.
FBI Special Agent Richard Wolf told Cruise Critic the Baltimore field office is looking into the death because a "couple of circumstances" made it different than a typical death onboard a cruise ship. Field agents boarded the ship March 25 when it returned to Baltimore, and "did some things." Based on their investigation, an autopsy was deemed appropriate.
Wolf didn't offer further details about the investigation, which he said is ongoing.
When asked whether an autopsy is typically performed for a passenger who had an apparent heart attack, Wolf said each circumstance is different.
"An apparent heart attack in a 40-year-old is different from an apparent heart attack in a 95-year-old," he said.
Royal Caribbean confirmed the death of the woman, whose husband found her body in their cabin March 24.
"We extend our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the 62-year-old female guest from the United States who died while onboard Enchantment of the Seas… A member of our Care Team is providing support and assistance to her family."
The woman died on the last night of a seven-night sailing.

|Three Sulphur Springs Dixie baseball teams going for state tournament berths
|Bobby "Butch" Burney and Joseph Elerson | News-Telegram Sports Staff
June 29, 2005 - Summer baseball will keep going well into July for several Sulphur Springs teams.
Three Sulphur Springs squads will be playing for the Dixie district championships this week, with two of them already having clinched a state tournament berth.
The 7-8 Coach Pitch Wildcats will take an unbeaten record into Thursday's championship game, while the 9-and-Under Sliders will do the same. Meanwhile, in Mount Vernon, the 11-and-Under team coached by Steve Carter takes on Paris at 7 p.m. today for that district title.
7-8 Coach Pitch
Sulphur Springs Americans 14, Commerce 3
The Sulphur Springs Wildcats have won all three of their tournament games by the 10-run rule, and Tuesday night was no different.
The Wildcats also kept up their home run streak, having hit at least one round-tripper over the fence in every game. Against Commerce, it was Kade Hudgins with his second home run of the tournament.
The Wildcats will take on Paris at 6 p.m. Thursday in the championship game. Paris, who lost earlier to Sulphur Springs, advanced with a 13-8, extra-inning victory over Franklin County. If Paris beats the Wildcats at 6 p.m., the teams will play a deciding game immediately afterward.
The tournament winner advances to the state tournament in Pittsburg on July 9.
Hudgins' homer came in the Wildcats' three-run first inning. The frame opened with Landon Brock hitting a single and Cain Cody doubling him home. Hudgins then launched his two-run shot.
The Wildcats added four more runs in the second as Joseph Moreno singled to open the inning, followed by RBI singles by Hunter Crowson and Tyler Williams and a two-run single from Ben Brooks. Cody singled and Hudgins doubled later in the inning but didn't score.
In the third, Larry Pryor Jr. and Will Sant both singled and came around on C.J. Stephens' two-run double. Stephens was thrown out at home, but consecutive singles by Moreno, Crowson and Williams loaded the bases and they all came around on an RBI single by Brooks, a run-scoring single from Brock and a two-run double by Cody.
The defensive gem of the game occurred in the second inning when Commerce had a runner on third. The ball was hit to Brock at shortstop. He looked the runner back to third, then threw the ball to Cody at first for one out. The runner broke for home, and Cody relayed it to Sant at catcher, who tagged the runner for the double play.
Sulphur Springs National 10
Franklin County 6
The Sulphur Springs National Sliders remained unbeaten and clinched a spot in the state tournament, but it didn't come without a fight from Franklin County.
Franklin County never led, but challenged each inning.
The victory puts the Sliders into the championship game at 7 p.m. Thursday at Coleman Park. They will play the winner between Paris National and Franklin County, who play at 6 p.m. tonight in an elimination game.
With two teams advancing to the state tournament in Paris on July 16, the Sliders have already clinched a berth there.
On Tuesday, they scored in each of the first three innings and received a pitching save from Brennan Brock to close out the win.
In the first inning, Alex Burney and Brock both walked and scored on Willie Ivery's two-run triple to center field. Carson Matthews then singled home Ivery. Matthews advanced on Patrick Covington's walk and scored when Mason Moore beat out an infield single to put the Sliders ahead, 4-0.
Franklin County, though, countered with two runs in the top of the second inning on three walks and a two wild pitches.
Sulphur Springs came back with another four-spot in the bottom of the inning, with the big blow being a three-run double from Carson Hicks. Garrett Hood and Burney both walked, and Trevor McClure's perfectly-placed bunt single halfway up the first base line loaded the bases for Hicks, who later scored on a wild pitch. That put the Sliders up by a score of 8-2.
Ivery, who started the game on the mound, was relieved by McClure in the top of the third, but Franklin County put up three runs in the inning on two walks and two singles to cut the lead to 8-5.
The Sliders, though, again countered with two runs of their own. Moore and Ross Cody both walked and Hood singled up the middle, scoring both runners to give Sulphur Springs a 10-5 lead.
Brock then came in to retire three of the next four batters. The final out came when Burney made a sliding stop of a grounder in the hole between first and second and threw the runner out.
Sulphur Springs 13, Paris American 3
MOUNT VERNON - Sulphur Springs advanced to the championship game with a 10-run victory that secured a state tournament berth.
The local team will play Paris at 7 p.m. tonight in Mount Vernon for the district title. Steve Carter's team clinched a spot in the Dixie state event in Carthage on July 16 by virtue of two teams advancing.
Kason Clark and John Bell each went 3-for-4 with a single, double and triple for Sulphur Springs, while Sean Hoffman added a single and double, and Ethan Boatman went 2-for-3.
Tanner Stonaker, Colby Carter and Justin Sanders also added hits for Sulphur Springs.
Bell went the distance on the mound, fanning four and walking just two.
In Monday's game, Sulphur Springs defeated Franklin County, 6-4, as Clark and Kason Childress combined to strike out seven batters.
Childress also had two hits along with Bell, Hoffman and Kade Koon. Clark, Stonaker, Jaylon Perry and Boatman added one hit each.
Sulphur Springs 17, Honey Grove 3
Sulphur Springs responded in a big way facing elimination Tuesday night in the Dixie 14-and-Under district baseball tournament against Honey Grove, scoring in every inning at Coleman Park.
Coach Bob Barrows' Sulphur Springs squad gets a day off before returning to the field against either Mount Vernon or Paris Continental at 8 p.m. Thursday.
Shane McQueen and Mason Rawson each hit three-run home runs in the game as Rawson hit his in the first inning. McQueen led the way, going 4-for-4 with four RBI and four runs scored, while Rawson went 1-for-3 with four RBI.
McQueen started off the first inning with a single and Ryan Carpenter followed with a walk. After a double steal put both runners in scoring position, Rawson smacked his homer over the left field fence for the 3-0 lead.
Sulphur Springs tacked on four more runs in the bottom of the second inning as Kolten Jones walked with one out and McQueen drove him in with a double. Carpenter then gave Sulphur Springs a 6-0 lead with an RBI single. Ben Barrows walked, and both runners advanced on a wild pitch. Carpenter then scored on a throwing error by Chabon Williamson for a 7-0 Sulphur Springs lead before Rawson drove in Barrows with a ground out for the final run of the inning.
McQueen's homer came in the third inning as North singled and Brandon Harry walked to set the table for McQueen's homer to right field for a 10-0 lead.
Honey Grove was able to push across two runs in the top of the fourth inning as LaPacus Russell walked, stole second and scored on a wild pitch from Jones, before Caldwell walked, and scored on a single from Williamson to make the score 10-2.
Sulphur Springs then scored seven runs in the bottom of the fourth inning as Daniel Rosales and Andrew Morales both walked. Rosales advanced to third on a wild pitch and then Rosales scored on another wild pitch for an 11-2 lead. With one out, North walked, and Jones plated Morales with a single for a 12-2 advantage.
Jones then advanced to second on an error, went to third on a McQueen single, and scored on a wild pitch, McQueen then stole second and scored on back-to-back wild pitches for a 15-2 lead. Carpenter then walked and scored on Barrows single, and after a stolen base and an error by the catcher, Sulphur Springs held a 17-2 lead.
Honey Grove managed to get a run in the top of the fifth on a sacrifice bunt by Noah Stroud that scored Hudson Milford from second base for the 17-3 finale.

Brad Pitt`s son Maddox makes acting debut in `World War Z`
Los Angeles: Superstar Brad Pitt has revealed that his 11-year-old son Maddox has made a cameo appearance in Marc Forster`s apocalypse movie `World War Z`.
The actor reveals his son gets shot in the head multiple times in the movie.
The father of six, who takes on the role as Gerry Lane in Marc Forster`s upcoming film, said his son, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, made a cameo appearance in it without telling what role the 11-year-old boy landed.
"He gets shot in the head ... Multiple times. But he gets double tapped," Pitt said of Maddox, before joking, "I don`t know what that says about me as a parent."
The Golden Globe winner, who agreed to do the apocalypse feature because of his boys, said both Maddox and 9-year-old Pax have already seen it and they love it.
'World War Z' will arrive in theaters this weekend. Based on Max Brook`s horror novel 'World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War', it sees Pitt`s character in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic.

Our Keystone State is now the target of famed animal lover Bob Barker. He has done a video condemning the cruel events which continue to occur, especially here in Berks County. This is not sport. The caged birds are disoriented and already easy prey when let out of their cages for the amusement of perverted "hunters."
Berks County District Attorney John Adams, a Republican who turned Democrat to run for the seat, refuses to prosecute under the state's cruelty to animals laws. He claims to be Judge also by deciding himself what laws apply and which do not. That is a judicial responsibility and not a prosecutor's.

When Playing Politics, Major League Baseball Favors New York Over Pennsylvania
October 28, 2009 | Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig would never – never! -- think of rooting for the New York Yankees over the Philadelphia Phillies during the 2009 World Series, which begins tonight at Yankees Stadium. But Selig is hardly agnostic when politics are concerned. The political action committee controlled by his office finds itself in a decidedly New York state of mind, according to a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of federal campaign finance data.

Christmas in Nigeria.
Boko Haram Islamists carried out a series of attacks on Christians this time last year. (BBC)
Gunmen shot six Christians dead including the pastor at a Midnight Mass Christmas celebration this morning. They then torched the church.
The AFP reported, via Religion of Peace:
Gunmen attacked a church in northern Nigeria during a midnight mass on Christmas Eve, killing six people including the pastor, before setting the building ablaze, residents and police said Tuesday.
Gunmen killed six people attending midnight mass at a church in northern Nigeria on Christmas Eve, police and residents confirmed on Tuesday.
"A group of gunmen came into the village at midnight and went straight to the church… they opened fire on them, killing the pastor and five worshippers. They then set fire to the church," said Usman Mansir, resident of Peri village, near Potiskum, the economic capital of Yobe state.
Mansir specified that a branch of the Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA) was the congregation that was targeted.
A senior police official in Yobe confirmed the details to AFP, but declined to be named.
Boko Haram Islamists have carried out several attacks in Yobe, which borders the state of Maiduguri, where the insurgent group is based.SOURCE: The Gateway Pundit

Conservative Bill Whittle concludes this week in his Trifecta video that the Democratic leaders of this country are determined to deliberately destroy this country.

New York newspaper faces backlash after publishing map of gun permit holders
A local New York newspaper is drawing the ire of its readers after publishing an interactive map that shows the names and addresses of thousands of residents who have handgun permits.
The online map was published by The Journal News along with an article under the headline: "The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in your neighborhood."
The newspaper obtained, and then published, the names and addresses of pistol permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The article, in explaining the decision to publish the information, pointed to the school massacre in nearby Newtown, Conn., and the concerns of some residents about which of their neighbors might have firearms.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is an iconic cartoon from the early 80's that took muscle bound characters and pitted them against each other in what could have been a WWE face versus villain match up. For each guy and girl, there was an equally cunning, of buffooning, counterpart (the bad guys weren't saddled with all of the idiots). Gaming was not real kind to the Masters of the Universe though, only recently getting games that were considered "good" (over on Gaming on Batteries, the iOS and Android verisons rated quite well due to the great fan service and quality controls).
Fans are not the type to stand around too long before making a game based on a license they enjoy. That is what has happened with He-Man. Using the Beats of Rage engine is sometimes a hindrance but here, it is a welcome addition- it eliminates all of the behind the scenes problems that home coders face and allows them to focus on the front end a lot more. While not animate all that well right now, He-Man shows promise (remember this is all by a fan that knows they will probably never see any financial return on their work).
Now to see if any of the levels will be based on episodes of the show. Will we get levels that involve assaults on Castle Greyskull or the palace or Snake Mountain? Will there be vehicle levels? How will Mer-Man and his cadre be represented?
Grab the demo from Gamejolt and enjoy on your Windows PC or on your Android device (instructions for installation included).

*tosses confetti* The summer release of WEREWOLVES BE DAMNED is approaching and no doubt will be here before we know it! Im so excited to see Nexis series release. The waiting has been KILLING me!! But I thought, just for fun, Id share a snippet from the first chapter of WEREWOLVES BE DAMNED because its just so Nexi!!!
Id come to my willow for as long as I could remember. Id never seen a wolf in this forest before. And when had wolves become so bold to approach a human? Unless this one was rabid or starving in which case, my odds of survival were looking less likely.
I scooted further along the grass, stopping when my back pressed against the trunk of my willow. Dear God, the time to help me, would be now.
He stopped a foot in front of me and sniffed the air. His dark eyes studied me. No fear held in their depths. Wet dog mixed with a rich aftershave filled my nostrils.
Im scary. Im big. Get out of here, I screamed, waving my arms in the air to frighten him.
He shook his head.
I stared, mouth agape. Did you just answer me?
He nodded.
What. In. The. Hell?
How can you understand me, youre a wolf. Oh my god, did you just shrug?
He bared his teeth.

Creative director Scott Sternberg doesn't show much on the runway these days. From last season's art gallery window installation to the recent scavenger hunt he staged in New York, Band of Outsiders' presentations of late have been oddly — and delightfully — unpredictable. Thankfully for most guys, the label's clothes remain a little more familiar, riffing on the prep-inspired silhouettes that Sternberg has honed for almost a decade. For Spring/Summer 2013, there are windbreakers, hooded anoraks and ponchos, sweatsuits in terry cloth, patterned shirts, and shrunken suits, along with more traditional staples like classic chinos and shorts that offer graphic, modern takes on American classics. The fit of the garments, meanwhile, again hews closely to classic BoO proportions, providing a slim, contemporary silhouette for the modern man.
A selection from Band of Outsiders' Spring/Summer 2013 collection is available now at our online store.

Following their bye week the New York Jets picked up right where they left off—on the losing end of yet another lackluster performance. Gang Green made the trek to the Pacific Northwest in dire need of a win in order to keep its sinking ship afloat, but Pete Carroll's Seattle Seahawks had other plans in mind. Mark Sanchez's former college ball coach rallied the Seahawks to a convincing 28-7 win, rattling New York's franchise signal-caller in the process.
For the fifth time this season, Sanchez completed less than 50 percent of his pass attempts while tossing a costly red zone interception in the second quarter and losing a fumble in the early stages of the fourth quarter. In his fourth year as a pro, Sanchez was thoroughly outplayed by first-year quarterback Russell Wilson who finished the day 12-of-19 for 188 yards with two touchdowns.
Even with his embattled quarterback showing no signs of improvement the past few weeks, head coach Rex Ryan continues to defend Sanchez, expressing confidence and belief in him as the team's starter, while squashing any rumors that Tebow time could be on the horizon in the Big Apple. While Jets' fans continue to grow restless and cast serious doubt on Sanchez's long-term future with the team, the coaching staff and teammates continue to support their incumbent starter.
Ryan's defense was stout for three quarters, but the wheels came off in the fourth with Seattle wearing maintaining offensive possession for over 36 minutes of the contest. The Jets consistently pressured Wilson in the pocket tallying four sacks and seven quarterback hits, but steady diet of running back Marshawn Lynch gashed New York for 124 yards from 27 bruising carries. While the defensive unit wore down in the final stanza, the futility and miscues on offense proved too great to overcome. Sanchez and company had five 3-and-out possessions, ushering the defense back on the field with barely a minute to catch their breath.
On the verge of capturing a 14-7 second quarter advantage, tight end Dustin Keller committed a false start penalty on third down, forcing Tebow off the field in favor of Sanchez. On the following play, Sanchez telegraphed a pass in the direction of Keller, but cornerback Richard Sherman flew through for the interception and put a halt to a potential scoring drive. The Jets lost the momentum and the offense continued in a downward spiral throughout the rest of the afternoon.
At a record of 3-6 the Jets are closer AFC doormats than true playoff contenders. While Ryan and crew are still keeping their fading postseason dreams alive, it's truly sink or swim time for Gang Green.

I know that these kinda threads may get on some people's nerves, so advanced apologies for that.
Long story short: I quit ffxi for the summer, to get some real partying done. Now boredom got the better of me and I reinstalled FFXI last night. However I logged on to see all 3 social LSes I've belonged to very quiet, especially during my GMT timezone primetime.
So is there anyone out there that can set me up with a decent group? I get along with pretty much anybody but if you're still active in the CoP and ZM department it would be great, not that it matters, I'm just looking for some people to do random missions and the like with foremost.
Incase it matters, my main is 66 RDM, I do plan on leveling it, but after I get some money (gave gil away in a generousity blunder). Most other jobs are low to mid level.
EDIT: I just thought I'd mention that although I live in the U.K. I have a very strange sleep pattern so any events that take place any time before 3am most nights isn't a problem.

According to E! and the Daily Mail, the "Twilight" babe and the "Vampire Diaries" hunk said "I Do" in Santa Monica on Sunday (April 26) though neither star has confirmed the nuptials just yet. Earlier in the day, Ian tweeted, "Most beautiful morning ever…"
It's no secret that they're crazy about each other, and according to multiple outlets Ian Somerhalder recently popped the question to Nikki Reed.

The "Vampire Diaries" hunk posted a clip of his leading ladies' new single "Fly With You" via Instagram and it's pretty much amazing.
