Goodbye, No. 19
Hall of Fame outfielder Tony Gwynn died Monday morning after a long battle with cancer. The 54-year-old Gwynn, whose infectious smile and laugh came to define San Diego baseball, has left us far too soon.
I could recite statistics, but you can look those up and be awed without my help. Short version: He could hit anything.
My fondest memories of the man known as Mr. Padre are of events that happened far from his home. The first came in Montreal, when he singled off Dan Smith for his 3,000th hit. Upon reaching first base, Gwynn hugged umpire Kerwin Danley, his former San Diego State teammate.
The second came in Cooperstown, when he and Cal Ripken Jr. were inducted into the Hall of Fame. I had driven from San Diego and found myself lost in a sea of Orioles jerseys. Gwynn got up and did what he always did, which is be engaging and gracious in discussing his own accomplishments and those who had helped him along the way.
I wore Padres gear that day and was approached afterward by several strangers who told me they'd had no idea what a great player and man Gwynn was. No surprise there, given that he spent his entire career on the wrong coast, in a city neglected by national media.
I smiled at everyone who told me how impressed they were with Gwynn. Of course you were, I thought to myself, he's Tony Gwynn.
Stats don't make the man, but one of Gwynn's bears remembering. He hit .394 in 1994, when a work stoppage denied him the opportunity to become the first player to hit .400 since his friend and mentor Ted Williams, a fellow San Diegan, did it in 1941.
That .394 is an astounding number. It's worthy of attention and respect, but not as much as the man himself was. On behalf of a city, a team, and baseball fans everywhere, I offer humble thanks for the privilege of having gotten to see him play. He made San Diego proud. I hope we did the same for him.

I'll be respectfully wearing my Tony Gwynn jersey to work tomorrow. RIP to the greatest pure hitter of my generation.

Tony was my favorite player of all time. I am sad that he is gone, and grateful for the memories. Thanks for writing a goodbye.

16" #60 Lightest Blonde 7pcs Straight Full Head Set Clip In Human Hair Extension [CHS0309]
Style: Straight
Perfect price...perfect shipping time...perfect hair!!!
Surprisingly nice strainght hair for the price. Bought this for a costume and the strainght hair felt very silky and nice.Thick and nice, it does need trimmed to fit your face/head, but a nice strainght hair for the price, looks cute.
I was skeptical at first, thinking the price and quality was too good to be true. However. I must say the hair is great, actually have it in right now! Wink. The color and texture matches perfectly with my own hair. I will definately being ordering from t
This hair came really really fast I was very happy about that. The hair is very soft I have already washed it.

You're reviewing: 18" #6 Straight Micro Loop Human Hair Extensions [MRHSTI1806]
Twist a small piece of your own hair for attaching the hair extensions.
Let this small piece of your own hair go through the plastic loop.
Hold the micro ring and pull the big end of the plastic loop until your own piece of hair can go through the micro ring. At this moment, the plastic loop should be completely free from the micro ring and hair extensions.
Pull the micro ring up to about 0.8cm to 1cm from scalp.
Grip the micro ring by pliers and the hair extensions is now firmly applied on..
After doing the middle clip, you can then attach the two end clips. There you are - more hair in just a snap!
Keep your hair and scalp clean! When sweat and dirt build up your hair tangles. Use a good quality shampoo and conditioner. Detangle your hair first from the ends to the roots before shampooing. Wash your hair gentle in a downward motion (from the roots to the ends). When you're done rinse your hair thoroughly.Condition your hair after every wash. Dry your hair gently, don't rub it with a towel but move in a downward motion from roots to ends. Gently detangle your hair.
After you get your hair extensions it is best to wait 48 hours before you wash your hair.
It is better to avoid heat. Heat is your one of your hair's biggest enemy, the more you use it, the shorter your hair extensions will last. Be careful with the use of blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.
DON'T sleep on wet hair. A good habit is to tie your hair together in a ponytail to prevent tangling as much as possible.
It is best to store the human hair in it's original container. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag.To keep the desired curl pattern, you may want to set the hair on rollers that conform to the curl size you wish to maintain before storing in plastic.
In order to offer premium quality items, all the hair extensions will be shipped directly from our factories to http://ca.hairextensionbuy.com/ first and then after careful checking, http://ca.hairextensionbuy.com/ will ship the item out.

The best thing about this hostel is its price and location. Everything else... I slept on the 10 mix dorm room, the bed was lumpy, gave me some trouble with my back and although the sheets seemed clean i have been, and I did counted, bitten 23 times (face!!, neck and legs) by some bugs (bed bug?). There are no locker as describe but there is a luggage storage. Bring your own international adaptor, they don't provide it.

10 Reasons Women Hate Their Birthdays
A few weeks ago, I texted my brother to see if he'd had a good birthday. "It was great!" he said, "I stayed home, ate some roast chicken, and watched a movie."
"Wait, that was a good birthday?" I asked, trying to communicate my confusion without being rude. "I'm glad you were into it, I'm just not sure I would call that a good birthday."
His response was quick and to-the-point: "That's because women always hate their birthdays."
At first I got a little offended by the generalization, but when I thought about it, I have indeed hated my birthday every year for the past decade or so, as have the vast majority of my friends. Why do so many women greet their day of birth with "UUGGGHH" rather than excitement? Why have I cried myself to sleep with a belly full of birthday cake on more occasions than I can count? Why do men seem immune to many of these birthday issues? After some self-reflection and polling a ton of lady friends, I've settled on these 10 reasons:
1. It reminds us we're getting older. And thanks to the media and Hollywood, we all know there's absolutely nothing worse for a woman than getting older.
2. Our expectations are too high. We want our birthday to be The Most Perfect Day Ever, filled with social time, personal pampering, grand celebrations, and customized cake sculptures. When our birthdays don't measure up to our impossibly high birthday fantasy standards (and really, how can they?), we're inevitably disappointed.
3. It never quite goes as planned. As a friend of mine said, "Birthdays are a reminder that people are supposed to love you and make a big deal about you, but it never quite happens that way." Whether your best friend gets held up at work or your mom forgets to call you or the restaurant gets the reservation wrong, even the best laid plans tend to fall apart. And women tend to take it personally when they do.
4. We worry too much about other people having a great time. A surefire way to make sure you don't have any fun? Worry incessantly about how much fun other people are having. A ton of women I asked listed this as a central factor behind birthday stress. People pleasers have a really hard time relaxing and enjoying "their day" when there's a large group of people they feel the need to take care of.
5. No one ever remembers what kind of cake we like. A minor detail that starts feeling pretty major after the 5th year in a row you find yourself gulping down lemon poppyseed cake (even though you hate lemon).
6. It inevitably become about what everyone else wants to do. Even if we've gotten to the point where we can just own the fact that all we want for our birthday is a massage and wine and dessert with a good friend, if everyone else wants to go dancing, well, we're probably going to go dancing. And we're probably going to be wishing we were somewhere else the whole time.
7. We focus on the negative. I remember a birthday a few years ago, I had been woken up with homemade birthday pancakes and showered with gifts and loving messages from a ton of friends and family members, but for some reason I became fixated on the fact that a certain friend hadn't texted me to say "happy birthday." No matter how many great things happened throughout the day, I kept checking my phone and getting upset that this ONE FRIEND hadn't texted me. Ridiculous, right? Also a fairly common experience.
8. It highlights the shortcomings of certain relationships. That friend who always flakes out on you or your boyfriend's tendency to make everything all about him? Not only are those annoying habits not going to disappear for the sake of your birthday, they often seem magnified. And man, does it sting to realize your boyfriend is never going to be able to truly support you when you're blowing out your birthday candles.
9. We think everyone else always has a perfect birthday, except us. Thanks, Facebook!
10. We're secretly scared that nobody cares. Maybe it's because of that one year in middle school when all of our friends ditched our birthday party to go to the mall, but I think many women still harbor a small-but-significant fear that people don't care enough to show up and celebrate the day of their birth. Hello, anxiety stomach ache!

Indian Television industry has the set of most handsome actors. These actors make their presence felt with their appearance, looks and the number of packs. Here is the list of the most desirable men on Indian Television. Karan Singh Grover of Qubool Hai, Gautam Rode of Saraswatichandra, Rajat Tokas of Jodha Akbar, Siddharth Shukla of Balika Vadhu and Vivian Dsena of Madhubala are on the top of the list.
We have seen good acting, good looks, chocolate-boy-next-door image of our male actors. Well, the trend has certainly changed today with lead actors on television having a great gym built body too which also gives them the confidence to go bare and dare as they take off their shirt for the Television screen which makes them more desired among their fans.
Karan Singh Grover of Qubool Hai has become the prince charming for every women by his deadly colour of eyes and sharp features. His fan following is huge to a level that the fans actually cry when he is not seen in any television show.
Saraswatichandra's Gautam Rode has a unique personality which makes him liked by his fans. His screen presence and romantic looks stole the hearts of many girls.
Rajat Tokas, the Akbar of Jodha Akbar, has a husky voice, but this does not prevent him from being one among the most desired men. His simple approach towards his own self and the boy next door attitude makes him a favourite of many.
Vivian Dsena or the more popular RK of Madhubala has the Greek God looks and there were people who even compared him to Twilight's Edward Cullen. All his role be it of a killer, a vampire or even a romantic hero, he makes his presence felt and sets a higher standard for his own self each day.

FEATURE - Car of the future or a lot of hot air?
Date: 29-Oct-02
Country: FRANCE
Author: Rebecca Harrison
He may not have been totally wrong.
Inventor, car enthusiast and environmentalist Guy Negre has built a car powered by compressed air and hopes it will be chuffing along roads across the world within the next few years.
Inside Negre's car, cold air compressed in tanks to 300 times atmospheric pressure is heated and fed into the cylinders of a piston engine.
No combustion takes place, so there is no pollution. In fact, says Negre, the air from the exhaust pipe is cleaner than the air that goes in, thanks to an internal filter.
The car can be refilled with air at home using an electric compressor and Negre hopes that, one day, drivers will be able to recharge the cars in filling stations in three minutes for as little as three dollars.
The air car, which he says will cost 6,800 euros ($6,700), looks a little like DaimlerChrysler's easy-to-park Smart city car, with one row of seats wide enough for three and a curved, pod-like front end.
"We needed an alternative to the gas-guzzling norm so I decided to make one," the former Formula 1 racing engineer told Reuters at the Paris motor show, where his toy-like run-around nestled among the latest sports cars.
Negre, who has been working on the car for 10 years, admits it sounds too good to be true. But he says scores of industry insiders who first scoffed at his invention had been sidling up to his stand for a closer look.
Some point out that, although the car itself pumps out no pollutants, the electricity needed to compress the air still comes from power stations that spew fumes or leave behind hazardous nuclear waste.
Another big obstacle to making electric cars commercially is that, despite decades of research, they still need refuelling far more often than conventional petrol models. Some experts say there is no reason why the "air car" should be any different.
"The concept of a car driven by air is not totally ridiculous," said John Wormald at the Autopolis consultancy, adding that air-powered locomotives were used to help dig Alpine railway tunnels to avoid pumping out toxic fumes.
"But as with all these wonderful ideas, the problem is how much energy density can you fit into a tank," Wormald said. "The car's range will likely be small and I can't see it taking off."
Negre says his CityCAT car runs for a maximum of around 10 hours at low speed before it needs refuelling. He insists this is not a problem as drivers will be able to recharge at home.
Wormald said that would be impossible for anyone without a private garage or a space in a parking lot.
Sceptics might wonder whether the big oil firms will be keen to equip their filling stations with a new technology that spurns petrol for air.
Negre admitted that the CityCAT - which he says has a top speed of around 110 km (68 miles) an hour - will work only as a city car and agrees he will probably not persuade motoring enthusiasts to give up their Mercedes and BMW speed machines just yet.
"It's not a real alternative to the standard car," he said. "It's an urban vehicle that we will market mainly as a second car, targeting mainly women who tend to go for smaller vehicles that they use for short distances."
Wormald reckons the business model is flawed.
"The problem is that people just don't want to buy cars they can only use to drive round towns. They might not bomb off to the country every weekend but they like to know that they can if they want," he said.
But Negre, who describes himself as a motorist who also cares about the state of the planet, rather than an all-out environmentalist, insists the air-powered car is the first viable alternative to conventional petrol-powered vehicles.
"I'm a firm believer that the car means freedom and people will not give up freedom, no matter what it's doing to the environment," he said. "So the only way to save the planet is to come up with a car that doesn't wreck it."

Deere & Company said it will invest approximately $58 million to enhance operations at John Deere Seeding in Moline, Ill., where the company manufactures planting equipment.
The investment will be made in conjunction with the implementation of a new factory master plan that targets enhancements in efficiency and quality. Improvements include a new paint system and increased use of automation and robotics.

"Deere continues to invest in facilities both in the U.S. and around the world to enhance our position as the world's largest manufacturer of agricultural equipment."
John Deere originally started manufacturing planting equipment in 1877 and has maintained operations at the current John Deere Seeding location in Moline since 1879. John Deere Seeding currently has approximately 800 employees in Moline and does not anticipate a significant change to total employment as a result of today's announcement.

Tuesday, Oct. 26, 1999
|Ruth Dubois or John McGrath
National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development
(301) 496-5133
October is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Awareness Month.
"The Back to Sleep campaign has been a dramatic success and a valuable tool in our efforts to reduce the incidence of SIDS," Secretary Shalala said. "But, we must continue to work together to be sure that these effective strategies are reaching every community."
Led by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) of the National Institutes of Health, the campaign will be carried out by a newly created partnership with the National Black Child Development Institute, the Health Resources and Services Administration, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the SIDS Alliance and the Association of SIDS and Infant Mortality Programs.
Although minority outreach has been a part of the "Back to Sleep" campaign since its inception, African American infants are 2.2 times more likely to die from SIDS than white infants. NICHD and its partners are committed to eliminating this disparity and the coalition will evaluate materials, talk to parents and caretakers about their concerns and knowledge about SIDS and make recommendations on the development of culturally sensitive messages and materials.
"All parents need to be aware of the increased incidence of SIDS during the winter season, and take appropriate steps to reduce their baby's risk," said Tipper Gore, who serves as the national spokesperson for the "Back to Sleep" campaign. "In addition to putting babies on their backs to sleep, everyone who cares for infants -- parents and other caretakers alike -- needs to be reminded to place the baby on a firm mattress in a crib free from blankets, toys or other soft products and to make sure the baby's head remains uncovered during sleep."
SIDS is the sudden, unexplained death of an infant in the first year of life. Recent research has identified almost undetectable defects in SIDS infants in a region of the brain that may control sensing of carbon dioxide, breathing and arousal during sleep. Researchers believe that the increase in SIDS during the cold winter months may be attributable to the greater risk of infection that infants face during the colder months or perhaps due to the "overbundling" or "overheating" of infants while sleeping during cold weather.
The "Back to Sleep" campaign is based on the AAP's recommendation made in 1992 to place infants on their backs or sides to sleep. In 1996, AAP revised its recommendation clarifying that placing babies to sleep on their backs provides the greatest protection against SIDS and is the preferred sleep position.
NICHD launched the "Back to Sleep" campaign in 1994 to amplify the message that placing infants on their backs to sleep can reduce the risk of SIDS and save lives. Since 1992 and the launch of the campaign there has been a steady decline in the percentage of babies sleeping on their stomachs-from 70 percent in 1992 to only 21 percent in 1997. However, in 1997, 34 percent of African American infants were still sleeping on their stomachs.
The NICHD is distributing free "Back to Sleep" publications and other materials on reducing the risk of SIDS. These materials include a brochure for parents available in English and Spanish, a brochure for health care professionals, display posters, "Back to Sleep" reminder crib stickers, take-home cards to distribute in hospitals and maternity clinics and a parenting training videotape available in either English or Spanish. To order free materials, call "Back to Sleep" toll-free at 1-800-505-CRIB or write to NICHD/Back To Sleep, 31 Center Drive, Room 2A32, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-2425. For the latest information on SIDS and the "Back To Sleep" campaign, visit the NICHD web site at www.nichd.nih.gov.

In the June/July issue of Country magazine, theres a photograph of an Amish crossing road sign. The sign warns motorists of Amish buggy traffic.
The photo was taken in Antrim, according to the caption beneath the photo.
In this space a week ago was mention of Lady Bend Hill on the Old National Road.
Where is the hill? this desk wondered.
No longer.
Go past Hendrysburg on your right and continue for a few miles. Lady Bend Hill curves up the hill a few miles before you come to the Morristown exit.
The Locust Lodge used to be in that area.
Bill Stiles of Ridgewood Acres was the first of several to report Lady Bend Hills whereabouts. The hill hasnt disappeared, just its name and significance has been forgotten over the years.
Cathy Yontz of Cambridge reported her grandpa, Charlie Major, ran a garage in Morristown when she was a little girl and he occasionally told Cathy the legend about Lady Bend Hill.
A Big Foot-type creature was apparently observed in Guernsey County. The sighting was on Route 265 south of U.S. 40 near the Interstate 70 overpass. It took place about three years ago, but it is never too late to report such manifestations.
The sighting occurred about 1:30 a.m. A reddish brown creature moving around in a ditch near Route 265.
The observer did not note if the creature was a male or female Big Foot.
A similar sighting was reported about seven years ago near Lore City. Two creatures were spotted, the largest of which stood about eight feet.
A number of geocaches have been reported in Salt Fork State Park and along U.S. 40 and Interstate 70. I do not have a GPS, so I will have to get me one before beginning my search.
Laura King was a newsroom caller. Laura reported the recent rains have helped the water table at her farm. Now, some more dry days are needed to get the hay cut and baled.
Laura is an old friend of Patricia Pallat Sekel. Laura and Pat attended the former Guernsey Catholic Central school together.
The Mountain Heir Bluegrass Festival, which will be near Old Washington July 3-5, is getting attention far and wide.
A bunch of bluegrass music performers are booked to perform at the festival at the Old National Trail Campground.
Among them will be Charlie Waller and the Country Gentlemen, The Lilly Brothers, Ronnie Reno and the Reno Tradition, David Parmley and Continental Divide, Northwest Territory, Nothin' Fancy, Rarely Herd, Larry Efaw and the Bluegrass Mountaineers, Wildfire, New Found Road, 2nd Edition, Timber Ridge and Stoney Creek.
For more information about tickets or the festival, call Connie Ferrell or husband Ray 489-5576. Or, send them an e-mail message, email@example.com.

JERUSALEM (Nov. 19)
Israel's Cabinet acted swiftly this morning, in the wake of the 14.3 percent devaluation of the pound sterling, to reduce the value of Israel's pound from 3 to the dollar to 3.5, effective immediately. The move, taken at a special Cabinet meeting which convened at 7 o'clock this morning, was intended to forestall rumors and minimize the period of uncertainty as to how Israel would react to the British currency devaluation. At the same time, the Cabinet ordered a halt to all foreign exchange transactions today and tomorrow, but exempted banks at the airport and seaports where travellers from abroad may convert currency at the new rate.

Ice Cream That Changes Color When You Lick It and Other Frozen Innovationsby Amy Reiter in News, August 11th, 2014
Not only is ice cream about the best thing ever — and that's not just summer talkin' — it actually keeps getting better and better. Every year brings new ice cream innovations.
This summer, for instance, Cronut® creator Dominique Ansel teamed up with fashion designer Lisa Perry to bring the world an ice cream sundae in a can: a sealed, frozen chocolate-lined soup can filled with root-beer and stracciatella ice creams, mascarpone semifreddo, macerated cherries, honey marshmallows and mini cherry meringues. "Pop It!" reads the label of the limited-edition frozen treat, which was available at only one location and for only one day, earlier this month.
And last month, a Spanish ice cream-making physicist, Manuel Linares, revealed he'd developed an ice cream that changes color when you lick it. The frozen treat, a flavor called Xamaleón that's said to taste like tutti-frutti, responds to temperature changes and acids in the mouth. When it's first scooped into a cone and sprayed with something Linares calls a "love elixir," which he has said is "made with natural ingredients," the ice cream is periwinkle blue, but as it's licked, its hue changes to pink and then purple. It's kind of like a frozen food mood ring.
Linares is reportedly also working on an aphrodisiac ice cream — lending the term "ice cream lover" a whole new meaning — and is said to have found inspiration for his new flavors in the work of U.K.-based food inventor Charlie Harry Francis. Francis, whose "edible inventions" company is called Lick Me I'm Delicious, also got attention when he invented a glow-in-the-dark ice cream using jellyfish protein. Each lick reportedly made the scoop glow brighter.
Maybe, come to think of it, ice cream isn't really getting better and better — just weirder and weirder.

Local heroes honored for selfless action, courage, and compassion
FORTUNA- Being at the right place at the right time earned eighteen individuals honors Friday for their selfless actions, courage and compassion.
"We honor people who have been nominated by the community for doing something heroic," said Executive Director for the Humboldt Del-Norte American Red Cross Chapter Barbara Caldwell.
The tradition continued as hundreds packed the River Lodge in Fortuna to hear eleven heroic stories of local lifesavers hosted by the Humboldt Del-Norte chapter of the American Red Cross. Caldwell said,
"We are talking about anyone from someone saving the life of a surfer to an incredible rescue at sea."
Among those stories stands hero Amber Bowlds and the life of the man whom she saved after he was stabbed in the throat at the Fortuna rodeo last July. The off-duty EMT was recognized for her quick-thinking and tenacity, something doctors said in the end, saved his life.
Another courageous story of heroism comes from two coast guard crews, honored for life saving efforts performed last May. The boat crew saved the lives of two fishermen whose boat capsized in hazardous sea conditions and a day later a helicopter crew saved the lives of two who were stranded near the cliffs of Endert's Beach.
Caldwell said, "There are some quiet heroes in our midst, some of these heroes you may have heard of."
Below is a complete list of all who were honored:
Brock Bluntzer, SAVED A HUMAN LIFE: Brock saved the life of a surfer who had been attacked by a shark off the Samoa beach.
Cedar Long and Nathan Stalioraitis, GOOD SAMARITAN: Two small children riding on ATV's might have been seriously hurt by oncoming traffic if not for the actions of these two California Conservation Corps members.
Dan Salinger, SAVED A HUMAN LIFE IN THE LINE OF DUTY: Cpt. Salinger was a duty officer at Freshwater Park who performed a water rescue that he was not trained for and not expected to conduct in the line of duty.
Wonder Gustafson, SAVED A HUMAN LIFE: Wonder saved the life of a woman who had a seizure and had then stopped breathing.
2 Coast Guard Crews in two separate incidents , SAVED A HUMAN LIFE IN THE LINE OF DUTY: (one incident by air, another by sea)
Bob Frawley, BUSINESS GOOD SAMARITAN: Bob Frawley goes above and beyond in his work with people who are Reaching for Independence as they are dealing with personal challenges.
Matt Busher, GOOD SAMARITAN: Matt stopped at the scene of a mass casualty accident and performed CPR on a child who had been seriously hurt.
Kathy Moley-Viand, SPIRIT OF THE RED CROSS: Kathy is dedicated to making sure that the County is prepared for disaster, sharing her time, expertise, and passion with communities, organizations and individuals throughout the North Coast.
Sean Ledwin, SAVED A HUMAN LIFE: In an event that took the lives of three people from one family at Big Lagoon, Sean pulled the lone survivor from the water and kept her from going back in.
Amber Bowlds, SAVED A HUMAN LIFE: Amber's quick thinking and tenacity saved the life of a man who had been stabbed in the throat in Fortuna.

Attorneys focused on knowledge, or lack thereof, on Thursday during closing arguments of a Gainesville woman on trial in connection with her daughter's death.
Public defenders Travis A. Williams and Rob McNeill denied that Deanna Renee Kipp knew Stephen Clark West killed her daughter Kaylee Kipp and then conspired with him in a cover-up, as they said the prosecution implied during the past two weeks.
Deanna Kipp faces charges of one count of malice murder, four counts of felony murder, four counts of cruelty to a child in the first degree, two counts of providing false statements to police and one count each of aggravated assault, cruelty to a child in the second degree and concealing the death of another.
In August, Superior Court Judge Andrew Fuller sentenced West, Deanna Kipp's boyfriend, to life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus 20 years, in the June 2011 death of the 18-month-old.
"Anybody who thinks that (Deanna) hurt that kid is just wrong," McNeill told jurors. "That woman loved that kid more than anything in the world."
McNeill said law enforcement who responded to the scene of Kaylee Kipp's death quickly concluded that Deanna Kipp was suspicious.
"Within 10 minutes of the (911) call, they had decided she was guilty," he said. "She had no idea what was happening. She was as stunned as everyone else when (authorities were) asking her questions."
Williams argued that Deanna Kipp was "shocked, disturbed at what she saw," when she called 911. That call was played by the defense prior to closing arguments, and includes Deanna Kipp repeatedly saying "Oh my god" and hysterically wailing at one point.
"Remember that phone call," Williams told jurors. "That phone call is critical; that phone call is genuine."
Williams said the tone of the call disputed that Deanna Kipp lacked emotion about Kaylee Kipp's death, as many first responders had testified.
Hall County's chief assistant district attorney, Lindsay Burton, did not deny that there was emotion in the 911 call.
"She would be a sociopath if she had no reaction to (Kaylee Kipp's death), even if she knew for hours," she told jurors during her closing arguments. "It doesn't mean she's not guilty."
The defense attorneys argued that the state's case against Deanna Kipp hinged on the fact that she knew of Kaylee Kipp's death and maintained a cover-up with West.
"There's no evidence directly or indirectly that she aided or abetted Stephen West," McNeill said. "If she doesn't know the baby is dead, how can she conceal?"
Burton said Deanna Kipp was the only person who "places herself with the child all night long."
Deanna Kipp had said in interviews that she went downstairs to the living room, where Kaylee Kipp was sleeping, to sleep the night the infant died.
Burton told jurors Deanna Kipp lied about seeing Kaylee Kipp lift her head a few hours before she was found dead.
"She's lying about it," Burton said. "She's covering for Stephen; she's covering for herself."
Burton said Deanna Kipp did not protect any of her children.
"She chose Stephen every time she didn't tell him to stop (beating the children)," she said. "She chose Stephen and herself every time she lied."
During closing arguments, the state repeated thoughts from the beginning of the trial: "Sometimes what is not said is just as important as what is."
Burton told jurors that Deanna Kipp did not ask police or first responders any questions because she already knew Kaylee Kipp was dead. She also said that West did not ask questions when Deanna Kipp told him about the girl's death.
McNeill told jurors that people react differently in different situations and that law enforcement and first responders had "the audacity to tell you she didn't act right."
Williams said authorities only judged Deanna Kipp for her reaction, and did not aid her.
"As they sit there and look at her, no one had the decency to console her," he said.

Benchmade Knives: USA-Made 556 SBKOD Mini Griptilian Combo Folding Knife
4 out of 4 people found this product review helpful.
Great EDC knife...
By: ghardwick
The Mini Griptilian is one of the most popular Every Day Carry knives in the market, next to the Spyderco Delica and Endura. This model has American made 154CM stainless steel. It is highly corrosion resistant. I used mine recently on a salt water fishing trip and had no issues. The research I've done on this steel puts it on par with VG-10. So it is a good blade, holds a nice edge and is easy to work with. In the event you can not get a good edge or do not want to mess around with trying to sharpen, just take advantage of Benchmade's LifeSharp service. Just send them your blade, your address, and $5.00 for the first knife ($2.50 for each addtional) and they'll put a factory razor sharp edge back on your blade. That's a tough deal to beat.

A mortgage preapproval letter can put you head and shoulders above other buyers who may be interested in the same home as you. Getting preapproved will help you find a mortgage lender who can work with you to find a home loan with an interest rate and other terms suited to your needs.
NerdWallet has researched the major national mortgage lenders to help you quickly find the best one. We recommend comparison shopping with at least three lenders to get a complete picture of your options.
Why should I shop multiple lenders?
In a 2015 report, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found that 77% of consumers apply to only one lender when seeking a mortgage. By shopping just three different lenders, borrowers could save more than $3,500 in just the first five years, according to the CFPB's research, and, in one example, enjoy payments that are nearly $60 less per month.
By applying to several lenders rather than just one, you can compare all-in costs and get the best deal.
What is a mortgage preapproval and why does it matter?
A mortgage preapproval letter shows that a lender has evaluated your financial history and figured out how much of a loan you can qualify for. Consulting with a lender early in the home buying process is important so you can get a sense of your true budget, talk about different loan options and spot any potential issues with your credit profile in time for you to course-correct. Once you know your budget it will be easier for you to shop within your means and find a home you can afford.
A preapproval letter shows you're a serious buyer and can be the key to closing on your new home because when you're ready to make an offer, the seller knows you have financing ready and you'll be able to go through with the sale, which makes you a much more attractive buyer.
Learn more about getting preapproved and why it's important.

Tekken 5
Review by Ryphis_Demeanor
"The Best Tekken So Far"
I didn't think Namco would ever be capable of surpassing Tekken 3 for the PSone. It had everything, a huge amount of characters, great graphics, mini-games, unlockable content, and great competitive game play. When Tekken 4 came out, my buddies and I rushed to buy a used copy at the gameshop, took it home, and beat it in less than 2 hours. We had unlocked everything in the game and were more than disappointed on every level. So I was leery to play Tekken 5, but purchased it once it became a greatest hit and was prepared to be upset, but it was quite the opposite reaction that I actually had.
This is the best looking Tekken game on a console so far. The resolution, frame rate, character models, and 3-d backgrounds all shine with Namco quality production. From your classic favorites to the brand new, all the characters look fantastic. Most of the original favorite costumes are included, as well as new surprises. The levels designs are probably the most interesting and original aspect to Tekken 5, as not only are they slightly interactive, i.e. you bust cement when you are thrown through it, but they also are brimming with life. From the white flower filled field to the post-apocalyptic fight club level, they all are places you will actually enjoy fighting in and make the instant replay more entertaining as well. This is the section of Tekken 5 that is probably the most successful other than the gameplay. The game doesn't quite look as good as Soul Calibur 3, but it does look light years beyond Tekken 4 and Tekken Tag Tournament. Overall the graphics represent the end of an era for Playstation 2 and Namco should be quite pleased with their results and the conversion. It should be noted that the graphics in the mini-game Devil Within are quite good as well, but the environments are often drab and repetitive with little artistic value.
Sound & Voice: 8/10
The music for Tekken has never been the cream of the crop but regardless some of the songs have had lasting power. The driving rhythm of the menu selection songs seem to stick out the most in my mind. The sound effects are probably some of the best with every punch, kick, block, and special attack making a seizure of noise at each impact. The voice acting in Tekken 5 is among the best in the business, as we should not forget long before the "Soul Still Burned" there was "The King of Iron Fist Tournament". The announcer has that driving voice that makes you want to play the game until the very last item is unlocked. The voices of all of your favorite characters are back and Nina Williams, Yoshimitsu, Bryan Fury, and Heihachi all inspire the same madness to memorize every move so you can hear your favorite character's mocking voice upon victory.
Gameplay: 10/10
Tekken 5 has all the bells, whistles, and shiny contraptions you would expect it to but it also has far more. Each character has a huge amount of new moves. The fighting engine is at its best with all characters seeming more equal than in previous versions of Tekken. The story mode provides a great challenge, but the newest edition to Tekken 5 is the revamped Arcade Mode, which pits you against increasingly difficult AI controlled characters, and as your character raises their level, they earn money, which allows you to purchase outfits and other customizable items.
Team Attack mode is back and with the new roster of characters is probably at its peak. To me, Team Battle Mode is the most important mode in a fighting game, a great way to test and play all characters equally. Since it was not included in Soul Calibur 3 I felt the need to state it is in Tekken 5 and is probably one of my favorite modes. The newest addition to the console conversion is the mini-game Devil Within. In the mini-game you control Jin and it is very similar to Tekken Force mode in Tekken 3. The controls and moves have been drastically reduced for Devil Within, but nonetheless it's still an enjoyable distraction from the main event.
Not perfect by any means but as close as it gets for Tekken. This is a must have version of Tekken and the best on the PS2 only slightly better than Tekken Tag Tournament as far as game play goes. The unlockable content will keep you playing Tekken for years (I'm not joking) and the intuitive game play will keep you enthralled for weeks upon end. Don't miss out on this version of Tekken, if you thought the series was dead or you haven't played it since Tekken 3 or Tag Tournament, pick up this version and you'll see you won't be disappointed.

Commentary 12 Feb 2010 07:44 am
Talk like a boss
Here is this week's column, dated Feb. 11, 2009.
To make extra money this year, I am offering a class for busy, wannabe executives called Corporate Conversation.
No longer will eager company cadets need to travel to some out-of-the-way Swiss chateau to learn the language of the executive up-and-comer, a tongue steeped in backpedaling, equivocation and disingenuous commentary, as slippery as half a dozen eels slithering over an icy lake.
Instruction in this oily idiom is now available locally, through one-on-one meetings with the instructor (me) or via easily downloadable computer lessons. The main tenant of Corporate Conversation is simply this: Never give an easy answer when a longer, less-definitive option exists.
For instance, why say yes or no to a subordinate (or "plebeian," as my exclusive, Boardroom Banter lexicon calls the typical worker) asking for a raise when you could say instead, "I will take the matter under advisement, and run it past the next meeting of the Associate Remunerative Committee, scheduled for the vernal equinox in 2011."
The average worker, when faced with such a response, will either a) salaam slowly out of the office, fearing the thought of such a committee and wondering what the heck "remunerative" means, or b) feel so honored that his or her productivity will increase for the next year, giving you 12 months to find a suitable replacement.
Executives who fear they may not be intelligent enough to master the intricacies of Corporate Speak (and research indicates that most management types have the brainpower of the average legume) need not worry: My patent-pending program uses only a handful of Power Phrases, suitable for the majority of employer/employee interactions.
They are: "I will take it under advisement," "sounds like a win/win," "let me ponder the ramifications and get back to you," "you need an immediate paradigm shift," "this will give you an opportunity to expand your horizons," and "The prevailing wind happens to be from Vichy."
Oh, wait, the last one is from "Casablanca." Scratch that.
Let me illustrate some of the Power Phrases in action:
"Boss, this new plan of yours is going to bury us in unnecessary paperwork, destroy employee morale, and cut productivity in half."
"You need an immediate paradigm shift."
"Boss, you're firing me?"
"This will give you an opportunity to expand your horizons."
"Boss, why does our workload get heavier and heavier, while yours gets lighter and lighter?"
"Sounds like a win/win."
"Boss, Frankie just crushed his pelvis in a vice. He's bleedin' all over the shop. We need to get an ambulance in here!"
"Let me ponder the ramifications and get back to you."
By mixing and matching the Power Phrases like clothes on a Barbie doll, the industrious executive can create dozens of responses that sound good but are as devoid of meaning as a Diet Coke is of calories. For instance:
"Boss, I can't believe you're outsourcing our jobs and moving the business to Taiwan!"
"This win/win will give you the opportunity to ponder an immediate paradigm shift." (My exclusive CYA training will teach you how to enunciate such tripe while dialing for security backup simultaneously.)
For those who believe management must consist of more than a few stock phrases uttered over and over — you're wrong. No, just kidding. My course will also offer exclusive training in this vital component: The Glassy Stare, the far-off look that comes over the boss's face when a plebeian offers a suggestion that is better than anything management has ever come up with. (This happens constantly, but with my training, you will soon learn how not only to ignore such suggestions, but actually not realize they have merit.)
Best of all, you can have it all — the Corporate Conversation, Boardroom Banter, Power Phrases, Glassy Stare, and CYA training — for one low price, less than you probably paid for your last back massage, but just enough to cover my kid's tuition for another semester.
To learn more, just wire a wad of cash directly to my bank account. It's the one with the negative balance.

Wow! You should take over for Mr. Kukura's business class.
But I'll let you ponder the ramifications of that first.

I have read articles that suggest that narcissists use the silent treatment as a way of punishment.
My wife and I are not speaking to each other. I feel uncomfortable with the situation and would prefer to be on speaking terms.
Now I am confused as to who is giving who the silent treatment. Last week we got into an heated argument. The next day she phoned me up from work and said she wanted a divorce.
She talked about spending time apart her and her kids and me and my kids. This past weekend, we had made plans with friends, she took her boys and went out with them and told them I was busy.
This morning, I wanted to leave the house as the tension is palatable. We are carrying on as separate households. Her and her boys, me by myself. I suggested we speak to the children to let them know what is going on. She said let's wait until the plans are more certain. That sounds reasonable, unless this whole divorce and silent treatment is to punish me. Her parents called yesterday while she was out. I didn't answer the phone. I didn't want to say everything is fine, only for her to say I was lying or vice versa tell them what is happening and have her say that is not your place to tell them.
I feel like I am on pins and needles. I would like to engage in a conversation but not an argument. I would like to engage her sons like normal. She has told me that she would like to slowly create distance between her kids and mine over a period of time. I don't want to engage in some kind of bizarre game playing involving the kids.
If anyone out there has been given the silent treatment how did you handle it. It takes two to be silent so I wonder if it is me giving her the silent treatment. She did tell me that she would like to do her own thing for a bit and then talk. If I start talking now am I being disrespectful? I think she would say I am giving her the silent treatment rather than being respectful.

This is a great price and I thought about grabbing one basically for investment. It's less than Ebay Buy It now deals, but more than Auction cost for a used one (just watched one go for $227.50) The New ones on auction are too far out, but tellingly the ones on auction starting price of $300 have 0 bids on them (soonest to finish is 10 hours).
So probably the best price you will get anywhere for a new one to use, but you may not make much reselling it if that's your thing.

~ Celebrating National Nurses Week 2011 ~
Contributed by Mary Kranz on 05/05/11
National Nurses Week is celebrated annually from May 6 (also known as National Nurses Day) through May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. The theme of this year's celebration, chosen by the American Nurses Association, is "Nurses: Trusted to Care."
This year's theme recognizes the great honor accorded to the nursing profession by Americans. The nation's nurses are ranked first in the annual Gallup Poll's Honesty and Ethics survey, with 81 percent of Americans rating them "high" or "very high." More remarkably, nurses have consistently been rated first every year but one since being added to the ranked professionals list in 1999. When firefighters were included in the list in 2001, they rightfully claimed the top honors that year only.
The nurses of the Hammond Health Center exemplify the trust and caring that are integral to their chosen profession:
Congratulations and best wishes to this special group of professionals!

MUNICH (Jun. 14)
In an interim report, the local bureau of the United Restitution Office today announced that 2,400 Jewish victims of Nazism have with its help obtained $3,600,000 in compensation and indemnification payments from Bavaria, almost all of it in the past six months.
The beneficiary are for the greatest part former concentration camp inmates who now reside in Israel, the United States and Great Britain. Currently the URO is handling 17,000 claims filed against the Bavarian state.
The URO is a non-profit organization which gives legal advice to applicants and aide them in filling out the complicated application forms, and then presses their claims. Its lawyers have fought a number of crucial test cases to a successful conclusion in the Bavarian counts. (The New York office of the United Restitution Office is located at 1674 Broadway.)

I'll just leave this here. It's directly from EA and doesn't mention US only. I would imagine he would've stated that, as it would make them look better.
Titanfall's physical sales were near 1 million in March in the U.S.
Moore cited sales numbers from the NPD Group, so the 925,000 figure only includes sales of retail disc copies of Titanfall in the U.S. — not any copies sold outside the U.S., or digital copies sold through Xbox Live and Origin.
It's funny, a troll of your standard is acting all tired of arguments.
I'm disinterested in something the book closed on week ago. For future reference, might want to not bother with any VS. Gears/Halo stuff. It always ends the same.

Congratulations EA and Respawn.
Could have doubled that or even tripled if it was on PS3 and PS4 as well.
Due to recent economic conditions, and the rising cost of Electricity, Gas and Oil, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.

Do you know what trolling means? It means you say things to get a rise out of people. Fact or not. Which is what you're doing.
"hurr I said a fact I'm not trolling"
That's as dumb as saying "Yo the Xbox One can't handle 1080p the PS4 is better oh I'm not trolling I have a Xbox One"
Continue with your stealth trolling though. I'll just have to stealth troll you back until the topic closes again like last time.

Actually, so me posting a factual point is trolling? Or someone who can't admit a weaker system and cries to mods about a troll attempt when I simply stated a truth and asked people to discuss.
This is a gaming board. It will discuss graphics, and expectations. If you think that's trolling. Why are you here?
And no, I'm not trying to get a rise. Look at me actually talking about the thing I posted. And not try troll. Except you. If you don't like my post, just ignore me and don't post?

That's rather disappointing ya think?
If Sony fans can only enjoy games that sell well how do they explain there poor selling weeaboo games? My local Gamestop sold more Titanfall copies then the Neptunia games sold worldwide. Sales do not mean a thing. Hell Nintendogs has sold more then most everyones top ten list combine. What does that mean? Kinect Disneyland has sold more then Demon Souls. What does that mean? Need I go on? Playing your game and shut up.
Gamertag/PSN - http://gamercards.exophase.com/31441.png
Titanfalls sales only show one thing. That all the stupid developers who spew crap like "we want the COD audience!" and screw up their established franchises are doing nothing but that. Screwing up their franchises.
Titanfall is essentially COD with mech. It's made by the main talent at Infinity Ward with the exact same mechanics and gameplay of COD. But no one bit on it. Sledgehammer, who is practically a workmans type developer who no one knows, will turn around and put out some game with the COD name slapped on the box and it will sell 6 million minimum.
You cannot attract a fad audience of a franchise like COD that does not represent the core of the industry. If IW renamed to Respawn can't do it no one can and just proves trying is ineffectual.

Handa Opera's MADAMA BUTTERFLY on Sydney Harbour to Screen in UK Cinemas, Sept 18
For One Night Only on Thursday 18 September over 250 cinemas in the UK and Ireland including Cineworld, Odeon and Vue theatres will screen one of the world's most spectacular opera events, giving cinema audiences an exciting opportunity to see a world-class production from the other side of the globe. Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour makes a welcome return to cinema screens with a modern retelling of Puccini's tale of love and honour, Madama Butterfly, captured live from the waters of the Sydney Harbour on a magnificent floating stage.
Madama Butterfly is the third production to be staged by Handa Opera, suspended over the harbour against a backdrop of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. This outdoor spectacle is set on a purpose-built stage with a Japanese bamboo forest and giant sun and moon - both 12 metres wide - which rise from the water to hang above the stage. This will be the only Opera Australia production screened in cinemas this season, and is a One Night Only event.
More than a century after it was first performed at La Scala in Milan, Giacoma Puccini's three-act opera is still one of the world's most performed operas with its poignant story of lost love and its unmistakable arias. Said to have been inspired by French author Pierre Loti's semi-autobiographical novel Madame Chrysanthème, it tells of a young Japanese woman Cio-Cio San and an American soldier Pinkerton who fall in love despite their cultural differences. When reality separates the couple, the lovelorn Cio-Cio carries the torch for her beloved, certain that he will return for her one day.
Director, Àlex Ollé, of experimental Catalan theatrical company, La Fura dels Baus, has staged many outdoor productions, including Aida at Verona Arena in 2013. His very contemporary production reimagines Pinkerton as a ruthless property developer, who brings ruin to Cio-Cio-San's unspoilt world of delicate beauty, symbolising the loss of paradise. Ollé makes full use of the waterside setting, integrating the magical landscape of Sydney Harbour at night into his production. Cio-Cio-San's suitor, Prince Yamadori, arrives by motor-boat in Act II. And, as always with Handa Opera, a dazzling firework display is a highlight of the performance.
Japanese soprano Hiromi Omura portrays tragic Cio-Cio San, having sung this role many times around the world, including at the Deutsche Oper, Berlin, Lausanne, Savonlinna, as well as Opera Australia. Her co-star is the young Russian tenor Georgy Vasiliev who performs the role of Pinkerton.
Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour has become an annual treat, and as with both previous productions, 44% of ticket buyers for Madama Butterfly had never attended an Opera Australia event before, reflecting the true accessibility of this unique occasion to new audiences.
Madama Butterfly is performed in Italian with English subtitles.
Running Time - 2hrs 20 mins, including one 15 minute interval (approx.)
