The impending end of "don't ask, don't tell" doesn't change the fact that Texas' two anti-gay senators, Republicans John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison, voted against repealing the policy. The beauty of the standalone bill to repeal DADT, aside from the fact it had enough votes, was that it forced lawmakers to take a position on the policy itself. On Saturday, Cornyn, Hutchison and 29 others went on record as supporting injustice, dishonesty and discrimination.
It's truly sad that both our senators would vote to harm our national security during a time of war by continuing to discharge valuable servicemembers for no good reason. Indeed, those who voted against DADT repeal will go down in history as being on the wrong side of it, and we should never, ever forget that.
Which is apparently why GetEQUAL Texas is moving forward with plans for protests/celebrations outside Hutchison's offices around Texas on Tuesday. From Facebook:
GetEQUAL Texas will go forward with their planned protest of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison scheduled for Tuesday, December 22 at noon in front of the Senator's offices in Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio. The group is celebrating Saturday's repeal of the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, but recognizes the importance of highlighting the oppressive vote of Ms. Hutchison on a measure which had the support of over 70% of Americans in several major polls.
Please join GetEQUAL Texas and other community members and allies to celebrate this victory by telling Kay Bailey Hutchison that "Enough is Enough."
"We will no longer sit by and allow votes like that of Sen. Hutchison on the repeal measure to go unnoticed. Although the repeal measure passed the Senate with a filibuster proof majority, Senator Hutchison attempted to silence those willing to defend the rights and freedoms of the United States with their lives by voting against the repeal. We will not be silenced. The freedom of speech is guaranteed to all Americans, not just those who the Senator prefers." stated Michael Diviesti an Army veteran and state coordinator for GetEQUAL Texas.
Both Texas Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn voted against repeal, which passed with a filibuster proof majority in the Senate.

Duck volleyball beats BYU, advances to regional final
OMAHA - The #5-seeded University of Oregon volleyball team (28-4) staked a 3-1 win in NCAA Third-Round action over #12 seed BYU (28-4) Friday afternoon to advance to Saturday's Regional Final.
The Ducks opened action with 25-23 and 25-21 victories in the first two sets over the West Coast Conference champion Cougars.
BYU, however, fought back to win the third set, 25-22, and ended the Ducks' 17-set win streak that dated back to a first-set loss at Washington State on November 17.
UO countered with a 25-12 final-set answer in its first-ever appearance in the CenturyLink Center.
That final-set score tied UO's fifth-biggest advantage of the season behind a 19-point margin vs. Western Carolina (25-16) and 14-point wins over Houston, Colorado and Houston (25-11).
Tying her season highs, sophomore outside hitter Liz Brenner led the Ducks in kills (26) and points (27.5) for the eighth time in each category this season. The All-Pac-12 pick also hit .372 - her 13th +.300 total of the season - and added 13 digs for her seventh double-double.
The balanced offense featured four players with +10 kills for the seventh time this year, thanks to senior outside hitters Alaina Bergsma (17 kills, .302) - the Pac-12 Player of the Year - and senior Katherine Fischer (12 kills), and junior middle blocker Ariana Williams (13 kills, .435).
Williams led the team in blocks (4) for a team-best 13th time this year, while senior libero Haley Jacob held similar honors in the digs category (24). Her eighth +20-dig effort of the season also stood as her 23rd career-wise, and she paced the team for the 25th time this year and 74th time as a Duck
Jacob also led the team in aces (2) for the eighth time in '12, thanks to her fifth multi-ace match of the season.
Also on defense, the Ducks featured three other players that posted 11 digs each en route to double-doubles for the first time in '12 - Bergsma, Fischer and junior setter Lauren Plum.
Directing UO to a .333 hitting mark - its 17th +.300 mark of the campaign - Plum ended with 68 assists. The latter mark was her second-highest career tally behind her 75 in a five-set November match vs. Washington that featured three sets that went beyond regulation.
Team-wise, the UO defense held BYU - who ranked second nationally in hitting this week (.313) - to a .259 mark Friday. The Cougars also ranked fifth nationally in blocks (with a 3.02 per set average), but only held a slight edge in Friday's final team comparison (9.0-7.0).
UO also sported advantages in team comparisons for assists (68-47), aces (6-3) and digs (73-58); and the two teams tied in fewest service errors (5-5).
For BYU, WCC Conference Player of the Year Jennifer Hamson landed 18 kills, hit .364 and had four blocks en route to 20 points. Other Cougar category leaders included Kathryn LeCheminant (.385), Heather Hannemann (42 assists), Ciara Parker (15 digs) and Nicole Warner (7 blocks).
Before Friday, the Ducks had advanced to the NCAA Round of 16 twice before under eighth-year head coach Jim Moore (in 2007 and '08), and once before his arrival in 1984. The Ducks now sport an 8-5 postseason mark in his tenure, compared to a 1-5 ledger in their four other trips (1984, '86, '87, '89) since the first tourney in 1981.
Looking ahead, UO will play the winner of Friday afternoon's match between #4 seed Nebraska (25-6) and #13 seed Washington (25-6) that follows immediately on Friday afternoon.
Saturday's NCAA Regional Final is set for a 4 p.m. start Pacific Time and will be broadcast live by ESPN2 and the ESPN3.com website.
UO split the season series with Washington (with a 3-1 win in Eugene and 3-2 loss in Seattle), and has lost its only meetings with Nebraska in 1986 (3-2) and '85 (3-0).
The winner of Saturday' NCAA Regional Final will advance to the NCAA Semifinals in Louisville, Thursday, December 13, and the 32nd NCAA championship match is set for two days later on Saturday, December 15. All three matches from Louisville will be televised live by ESPN2 and ESPN3.com.
Friday's 28th win of the season bettered its former best (27) that came in a 39-match season in 1981.

Making The Film
Sadobabies: Runaways in San Francisco
Sadobabies shows the lives and orally transmitted folk culture of a group of homeless teens in San Francisco. Aged 14 to 17, they formed a supportive community on the streets after running away from physical and sexual abuse at home. "Sadobabies" captures the narratives, songs, and appearance of this cohesive group. Interviews, observational footage, and scenes in the vacant Polytech High School and other gathering places in the city were shot by Nancy Kalow using an 8mm camcorder over a two year period, 1986 to 1988. The documentary also shows the "sadobaby" dolls crafted by the teens. The runaways' abuse of their lookalike dolls mirrors the way they were treated by their parents.
This documentary defines the subculture of streetlife for young runaways -- punks, skinheads and hippies -- and shows how these children in most cases have no homes to return to except those of physical and sexual abuse. "Sadobabies" reveals that runaways find life on the street safer than at home and embrace their alienation with defiance toward society, which has abandoned them. It is a moving, touching and shocking real-life drama played out in every major city.

Roster decision on Segura looms for Brewers
MILWAUKEE -- The deadline for the Brewers to submit their 25-man roster for the start of the regular season arrives at 2 p.m. CT on Sunday, and the question left on the table is whether or not starting shortstop Jean Segura will be on it.
Segura, who is still nursing an aching right shoulder, remained out of the lineup on Friday when the Brewers began the first of two final exhibition games at Miller Park against the Kansas City Royals. Both player and manager Ron Roenicke said there was improvement, but no decision was made as to Segura's status for Opening Day on Monday.
"[I'm] making a lot of progress, so we'll see," Segura said. "Getting better. Feels good, feels much better."
Segura hasn't played with the parent club since March 18, though his volume of at-bats in Minor League games has exceeded what he could have expected to see with Milwaukee in Cactus League play. He'll take another batch of swings on Saturday when starting pitcher Wily Peralta tosses a simulated game prior to the Brewers' afternoon game vs. the Royals.
"[Segura] threw [across the diamond] better today, but there's still a little bit there," Roenicke said. "Hopefully it continues to improve every day. He said there's definitely improvement, which is encouraging."
Rules would permit the club to backdate Segura's 15-day disabled list stint to March 21, which would allow him to play in regular season games five days into the season. Elian Herrera, who has officially been optioned to Triple-A but remains with the club for the weekend, would be the likeliest candidate to take Segura's spot on the roster in the short term.
"The good thing is if [Jeff] Bianchi is the one who's in there [at shortstop], which as of right now would be right, he's played great this spring," Roenicke said. "If he can continue to do that, hopefully we're not missing that much with Siggy out."

There were strikes, splits, spares, hambones and turkeys a-plenty at the Tall Pines Entertainment Center Saturday.
The rain was a welcome sight at Tall Pines, where 92 bowlers, including Butte County Supervisor Bill Connelly and Undersheriff Kory Honea, showed up to support the Sawmill Peak Fire Lookout.
Hosted by Bare on the Ridge, the fundraiser aims to raise money to staff the lookout tower through fire season. It costs about $24,000 to staff the tower — generally from June through October. The tower receives no federal funds so the community has rallied behind various fundraisers in support throughout the years.
Bare on the Ridge President Sharon Christensen said she had a goal to raise $1,500 during the fundraiser. As it turned out, the group collected $1,751.
"Everybody worked real hard to get that," Christensen said. "I was just thrilled."
With the success of the event, Christensen is hoping to make the bowling fundraiser an annual event.
The donations will go into the Bare on the Ridge bank account. The money will be kept there until Cal Fire contacts Les Olinger, President of the Friends of Sawmill Peak.
Christensen said the money is then given to Olinger, who gives it to Cal Fire, who staffs the lookout.
"We present Les with a check about twice a year," Christensen said.
In an email Tuesday, Olinger said the Paradise Community Council just donated $2,000 to go toward staffing the lookout.
Bare on the Ridge was formed in 2007 as a non-profit organization in support of the lookout tower, said Sharon Christensen, president of the group. Since that time they have collected $58,060 to donate to tower staffing.
Contact Christensen at (530) 318-2926 to join the group. Dues are $10 a year, which goes toward paying the group's expenses. They generally meet at 3:30 p.m. on Friday at the Paradise Pines Property Owners Association Library. The meetings are intermittent and only happen when they are working on a project.
Three more fundraisers are planned this year. Next up is a fashion show and luncheon on April 12, followed by a yard sale in September and a holiday boutique in October.

Product Details
The clean lines and fuss-free elegance of this graceful party dress make a sophisticated statement for all her extra-special occasions. Styled in sumptuous silk taffeta (the same fabric we use in our women's collection) with a single diagonal pleat at the waist for a little modern magic. Underlayers of dainty tulle add swishable volume to the skirt, while an interior cotton lining keeps her comfy when she twirls. Finished with a self-tie belt at the waist (which we think looks simply stunning cinched in a straightforward knot).

New and devoted Dad, Joseph McAtee, deployed when his daughter was just two weeks old. He shares his experience with us today, not only from the perspective of an Army Sergeant, but from a father far from home. When asked about his family's overall reaction to United Through Reading, Joseph said, "Recording a story onto DVD is a no brainer…it takes such a short time to make such a reusable resource." He also said that by the fourth DVD he sent, his wife was able to put the DVDs on to play in different orders so the novelty didn't wear off for their daughter. Isabella McAtee was 11 months old upon Joseph's return and he was able to participate in her first birthday. He said that the DVDs were an obvious support during separation and his daughter was very happy to have him reading to her now that he has returned. Some Dr. Seuss books were used on DVD and she especially likes "The Eye Book" in person.
By Joseph McAtee
It was December, 2009. I had just landed in Kuwait en route to my second deployment in Iraq.
The preparation cycle was the same as my first deployment in 2007: a couple of shots, get the legal docs in order, field exercises aplenty. It's old hat to those of us who had been through it before. This time was, though, markedly different for me for one major reason – my wife had given birth to our first child two months prior.
Unlike my first deployment, in which I was concerned about my safety and that of the other Soldiers in my unit, this time I spent the entirety of my concern on my wife and my daughter and how I would reintegrate into a family that was changing without me.
I would return to a wife who had gone from being somewhat overwhelmed by the early challenges of motherhood to a wizard who could change a diaper in 4 seconds with one hand while ironing with the other, all the while talking (coherently) into a phone smashed between her ear and her shoulder. It wasn't that I was missing the early months of my child's life and my wife's adjustment to it; it's that I wasn't sure how I would be able to hop on a train that had left the station without me. So during those few days in Kuwait, I came across a United Through Reading room in a USO hut and tried to slow that train down.
Over the next 10 months, United Through Reading helped send five DVDs to my wife and daughter, and they would watch them often. It was the first service I had ever really taken advantage of during my time in the Army.
Now that I've returned to the civilian world, I'm on the other side of the coin, working for the National Resource Directory. A joint project between the Departments of Defense, Labor and Veterans Affairs, the NRD has compiled nearly 14,000 resources (including United Through Reading) that connect Wounded Warriors, Service Members, Veterans, their families and caregivers with those who support them. It's a portal for the military community that lists resources across the country that provide services covering everything from financial assistance to education benefits and even employment resources.
I was fortunate enough to serve in an era when organizations like United Through Reading are providing opportunities to Service Members to stay connected to their families during times of physical separation. Now, I'm fortunate to work on a project that serves those who protect us when that time of separation ends.
Right now, there's a Soldier, a Sailor, a Marine or Airman who's getting ready to head down range. On his or her way, they might stop in a United Through Reading room and record a video. They'll know that there are organizations that are trying to help them, trying to lessen the hardships of deployment. When they put the book down and when the camera is turned off, there's still an organization that can pick up where United Through Reading left off. The place to find that helping hand is the NRD.
United Through Reading is honored to be among the organizations listed in the National Resource Directory. We hope you will utilize it as well!
If you would like to share your United Through Reading story with us, please send an email to: email@example.com or email@example.com for details on how you can submit your story and photo. We'd love to hear from you.

My goodness, that GIF is incredible.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Regarding Kobe, he's just butthurt that he is going to lose some games/more attempts at the scoring record. That was clearly not a dirty play, and the fact that Kobe says they need to "protect shooters" is laughable. Kobe is a great, PHYSICAL defender. If they called a foul every time a shooter came down on a defender, Kobe would play 10 minutes a game.
If Jones had ran through Kobe, then sure, I could see the complaint. But, Dahntay simply contested the shot, and Kobe happened to land on the very edge of his foot. To think someone did that on purpose is absurd.
I'm a bit disappointed, I think giving Paul opportunities to go H2H with guys like Kobe is great for his confidence/overall game.

The Effectiveness of Three Drug Combinations in HIV-Infected Patients Who Have Taken Zidovudine for More Than 12 Weeks

To compare the effect of stavudine (d4T) alone or with zidovudine (AZT) versus didanosine (ddI) alone or with AZT on CD4 counts, HIV RNA levels, and viral load in HIV-infected patients [AS PER AMENDMENT 3/21/97: To compare the effects of d4T alone versus ddI alone versus AZT plus ddI]. To compare the safety of d4T/AZT. AS PER AMENDMENT 3/21/97: To evaluate the pharmacokinetic interactions of AZT and d4T both at an extracellular and intracellular level.
Although AZT and ddI can delay the advancement of HIV disease, the benefit of either of these drugs has proven to be only temporary. d4T, a new nucleoside analog with a favorable toxicity profile and demonstrated activity against HIV, offers an additional therapeutic option. It is reasonably assumed that the benefit of an antiretroviral agent in terms of delaying clinical disease progression is directly related to its ability to achieve and sustain viral suppression; thus, this study measures effects on viral load and CD4 count.

Although AZT and ddI can delay the advancement of HIV disease, the benefit of either of these drugs has proven to be only temporary. d4T, a new nucleoside analog with a favorable toxicity profile and demonstrated activity against HIV, offers an additional therapeutic option. It is reasonably assumed that the benefit of an antiretroviral agent in terms of delaying clinical disease progression is directly related to its ability to achieve and sustain viral suppression; thus, this study measures effects on viral load and CD4 count.
Patients are randomized in a blinded fashion to receive AZT or placebo in combination with open-label d4T or ddI for up to 48 weeks. AS PER AMENDMENT 3/21/97: The study is now composed of three arms: open-label d4T versus open-label ddI plus blinded AZT placebo versus blinded AZT plus open-label ddI. Patients originally assigned to the d4T + AZT arm, which was closed 10/96, will be given the option of discontinuing AZT and remaining on d4T monotherapy or discontinuing all study drugs. In addition, all study participants will be asked to participate in a pharmacology substudy.

This past Saturday night, Gearbox Software held a launch party fit for a king, an incredible tribute to their new video game: Duke Nukem Forever. The party was held at the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas, TX (the game studio is located in nearby Plano, TX), which ended up being the perfect venue for the Duke himself. Me and a friend entered the party shortly after 8 PM and were instantly treated to listening to the totally rocking band Say Hello to the Angels, who also just happened to be responsible for Duke Nukem's soundtrack!
We ventured to the back of the club and found a total of 6 PCs with the game running on 3D enabled monitors. There was an awesome custom gaming rig (pictured above) which had the Xbox 360 version running at full speed. I got to the play the game for about 10 minutes ending in, I must say, an epic boss battle. As I turned around to talk to my buddy about the game I noticed that the Dukes throne was occupied by none other than the Duke himself and joined by the lovely Holsom twins (top)!
At around nine, Gearbox president Randy Pitchford came on stage to discuss the nights celebration and all the hard work that was put into the development of the long awaited game. He recognized several partners in the games creation, such as Triptych Games, Piranha Games, and nVidia.
Guests were then treated to the sensational song and dance routines of the voluptuous girls of Coyote Ugly. When the girls were done tantalizing the enthralled crowd, the best-selling techno duo The Crystal Method came on stage and absolutely blew everyone away. I was lucky enough to be within feet of the stage during their performance, loving every minute of it.
When The Crystal Method finished up, Randy Pitchford came onstage again and entertained the crowd by beatboxing and rapping. Yeah, he should definitely stick to his day job of making hit games. And to end the night, DJ Jazzy Jeff came onstage and entertained the crowd with his trademark style of high level beats and mixes. At the end, Id definitely say that Gearbox definitely knows how to throw a party... and make an amazing game!
Duke Nukem Forever is available now for all major gaming consoles and PC computers. Come get some!

Special Thanks to Gearbox for the awesome invite and for hosting an amazing party!

Rangers recall Ross Jr. from Round Rock, option Adcock
Arlington, Texas - The Texas Rangers formally announced this afternoon that the club has recalled left-handed pitcher Robbie Ross Jr. from Triple-A Round Rock. To make room for Ross Jr. on the 25-man roster, the club has optioned right-handed pitcher Nate Adcock to Round Rock.
Ross Jr. (#46) is the scheduled Texas starter for tonight's game against Tampa Bay, taking the spot of Yu Darvish, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list yesterday with right elbow inflammation. He opened the season as the Rangers' third starter, and went 2-4 with a 5.61 ERA (38 ER/61.0 IP) in 18 games/9 starts for Texas before he was optioned to Round Rock on June 17. He made 9 starts to begin the season, going 1-4 with a 4.78 ERA (26 ER/49.0 IP) before he was moved to the bullpen after his most recent big league start on June 16 at Oakland. He has gone 4-4 with a 5.10 ERA (27 ER/47.2 IP) in 9 games/8 starts with Round Rock, including a 2.91 ERA (11 ER/34.0 IP) in his last 5 starts.
Adcock had no record and a 4.50 ERA (5 ER/10.0 IP) in 7 relief appearances after having his contract purchased by the Rangers on July 24.
The Rangers have 39 players on the club's 40-man roster.

Lots of big things happening at the Brewster right now.
First of all we finally got the YouTube together of our appearance on national tv on HGTV that aired in June 2008. Here it is and when you hit "play", fast forward about 2.37 to find our bit. We like it and hope you will too. It was fun to do.
Its been a great winter for us and business has been excellent. Snowmobilers are one group that we market towards as we're right by the trail for ITS 85 which takes you up towards Greenville, Jackman, Millinocket and the North Country. We have become business sponsors of a big charity in Maine that helps the handicapped called Pine Tree Camp This is a charity that a lot of snowmobile clubs in the State support and just 4 months into the year more than $121,000 has been raised that will benefit this very worthwhile cause from various fund raising events.
The second part of today's blog is all about social media. This is a fast developing medium that is available to us in so many ways to help publicise the inn and to make us more successful in what we do here, bringing more people into this beautiful part of Maine.
Facebook is one way that we promote ourselves and what we do here at the Brewster Inn.
On Facebook we have our official page that you will find if you search for "Brewster Inn Dexter Maine" which has info, loads of photos and brochures (as well as they can display them) and we'd love it if you're on Facebook and clicked "become a fan". If you have stayed before, we'd love you to become a fan too and keep up to date with us and our regular updates with what's happening in Dexter Maine until we see you again the next time in the future.
Also I have my own page on Facebook and if you search for "Brewster Inn Dexter" that's where you find me, "become a friend" and see what I'm up to in my everyday life running our unique, special and very historic Inn.
The idea is that if you haven't stayed before, you'll learn so much more about us before you get here, and for you and our returning guests it will be like friends meeting up again. It works very well as we have a lot of guests on both pages
We hope very much that you would like to join us.
See you again soon with a post all about a new marketing idea we're working on

Independent candidate Bill Longmore has been elected West Mercia's first ever police and crime commissioner.
After people went to the polls yesterday the results of a close-run contest for the £75,000-a-year post have just been announced.
Mr Longmore and Conservative candidate Adrian Blackshaw were split by little more than one per cent of the votes in the initial count.
A second count was then carried out with the last placed candidate, Labour's Simon Murphy, eliminated and his voters' second choices being taken into account.
Mr Longmore's victory and election to the new £75,000 a year post has been confirmed in the last few moments.
West Mercia Police's Chief Constable David Shaw immediately offered his congratulations.
"We are very much looking forward to working with Mr Longmore to ensure the people of Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin continue to get the best possible protection and service from the force," he said. ""Mr Longmore is already aware of the policing challenges West Mercia faces and I will be discussing these with him in greater detail when he takes up his role on Thursday, November 22.
"I thoroughly look forward to building a positive, professional working relationship with Mr Longmore as we enter an unprecedented period of change, challenge and opportunity."
As commissioner, Mr Longmore will be responsible for setting West Mercia Police's budget, policing priorities and hiring or firing the chief constable, although the force will retain operational independence so decisions about investigations cannot be influenced by politics.

Beloit College has once again issued its annual "Mindset List," this time for the class of 2014.
While much of the press uses this list as a way to emphasize new college students' youth and inexperience, Beloit describes it as a look at the "touchstones" that may color collegians' thinking now and in the future.
For example, for the Class of 2014, cable TV has always offered hundreds of channels, e-mail has always been too slow, and wristwatches are unnecessary jewelry.
This is truly an electronically integrated, globally oriented class. As far as they are concerned, American companies have always done business in Vietnam, China has always been an economic competitor, and Russians and Americans have always been living together in space. This comfort with the world came with a price tag. Education, cable, travel, camp, computers, PDAs, and data plans are not inexpensive.
I remember thinking about starting a 529 plan in 1998, when they were just gaining momentum and my daughter was halfway through high school. I decided there wasn't enough time for me to accumulate enough earnings to make a real difference, especially with the income-tax reductions that also occurred. The provisions of the law improved for taxpayers over time, and although my daughter is now managing most of the expense herself, I'd like to be able to revisit that 1998 decision—especially now that I'm looking at helping her with graduate school expenses. With 12 years of hindsight, I now know I did have time.
Many of you have been saving for years, building an education fund to help support that final push through the expensive college and perhaps postgrad years. The average in-state tuition and fees for full-time undergraduate students for 2008–09, before student financial aid was deducted, was $2,601 for a public two-year college and $12,075 for a public four-year university. Private four-year schools averaged $31,969.
We've seen total assets invested in 529 plans climb to $104.9 billion in 2008, as many families are using prepaid tuition or college savings plans. So, I'd like to know: Did you take advantage of the 529 vehicle when it became available, or are you taking a different approach to paying for college?

Mother Freakin Smash Mouth BabyIndiana was angered that Raptors guard Leandro Barbosa tried to add to his season-high 29-point effort with a drive to the basket - instead of dribbling out the clock - with six seconds left.
Toronto argued that it was payback for Pacers point guard Darren Collison hitting a long 3-pointer as time expired in the Jan. 31 matchup.
DG on Barbosa after the game:
"If I was on him, I would have took (Barbosa's) head off and I would have been suspended for a game for a flagrant foul," said Granger, who led the Pacers with 19.0 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in the season series. "Stuff like that will sit in the back of your head the next time we play Toronto. We don't play them again but if I was on him, I would have taken his neck off."

I consider them my friends and yes we have met up a few times after work during the year, but NOT that often. I have a family that I would rather spend time with. I think the Ron is anti social bit has been over played.

Vileskont for CP? Maybe?!
Dear eNorwegians,
Most of you should be familiar with my name (I hope) by now. My name in the game is Vileskont and I am (and have been for quite a while) the PP of TeK for the last few months. Another fact of my life is that I am not a RL Norwegian. A fact that was never a problem for me so far. I am very thankful for the cheerful acceptance! I have arrived in the country....before many months. To be quite honest it is difficult to remember already! I came as a volunteer from Bulgaria (that was then part of EDEN) in order to try to help eNorway to get rid of the Serbian PTOers led by LavBoris who ruled the country back then. I was welcomed warmly in a typical Norwegian manner!
🙂 With the help of some great people such as Tommy, taulen, Ursidae, fredrikz, Stakerauo and many more (Please accept my apologies for anyone I might have missed) we not only got rid of the PTOers but I also found my "promised land", my heaven on eEarth, my new home
🙂 And when I asked whether I can stay and received your- the people of eNorway's blessing, I was that happy! So this is how I came here!
And ever since I am trying to give my best for you and for eNorway, because this is exactly what you deserve! I have been in the Congress several times, served as ambassador, helped TeK win several elections
🙂 In my political carrier, my main goal was always helping young players because I believe that they are the future of eNorway (thank you Stakerauo:)) Therefore in my Cabinet, I want to have experienced players for Ministers with young and ambitious ones for vice-Ministers. So without further ado, let me introduce my pride- the Cabinet:
Vice President and Minister of Inner Affairs: Stakerauo
Minister of Foreign Affairs: Tommy Skaue
Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs: Jochen Lutz
Minister of Defense: taulen
Vice Minister of Defense: Back from Valhala
Minister of Finance: fredrikz
Vice Minister of Finance: Mimkata6666
Minister of Immigration: Kristoph Woldskji
Vice Minister of Immigration: Lombaxine
Minister of Young Player's Development: Che Kukaken
Commander of the Barracks : Indigodavo95
Now let me explain a bit about the last two positions, because they are new to the country. The Ministry of Young Player's Development is mine and Che's brainchild and should do what the "kick start" program once did. In other words it should provide young players with material help in the form of weapons and food as well as expert advice. The Minister will also attempt to organize baby booms. And because of the low population we have, I believe we are in desperate need of this Ministry!
And here comes the role of the Barracks Commander who will lead the war efforts of the young players (divisions one and two). We tend to fail in our fights in exactly these two divisions. It is part due to the fact that we don't have many players in them. However though, with better organization, we can not only improve our performance there but also educate "better and more disciplined warriors". Therefore Indigodavo95 will work with the MoD in order to gather our youngsters in the "Barracks" and lead them to victory
As for the President term itself, I think if elected I will be facing three main challenges- first the future of EDEN and eNorway as part or not of it and we possibly joining Asgard. Second- freeing our regions from the UK. And third- a possible PTO.
In order to tackle the first problem I plan to gather a team and this team should "go" and address both EDEN and Asgard in order to find out what the two unions have to offer and what do they demand in return. After knowing the "costs and gains", I will write an article that will present them to you, the people of eNorway. And because I believe that this decision is not mine to take, I will let you vote in a public referendum what do you want us to do. The referendum will be done either through an article here or in the forum.
Second problem should be dealt with by the combined effort of our MoD who is probably the best in the world, the MoFA who rocks 24/7 and the young players' mentors Che and Indigodavo95 who are also awesome! Not to forget Fridrikz who is to pay for all the fun
Now seriously- we have to carefully plan and organize the war effort- probably use the time in our advantage (late hour, UK overstretched because of several active wars etc.) plus strong international support in order to compensate for our relative weakness in comparison to the enemy.
For solving the third problem I can completely trust Stakerauo and fridrikz! The two combined have more than enough expertise and suspiciousness to keep eNorway free from any PTOers. Stakerauo, as Minister of Inner Affairs, will coordinate our efforts in order to have PTO-free Congress for eNorway and to frustrate these guys ambitions to get hold of our gold
Well this is about it, dear countrymen! I am sorry for the long and probably boring article! I had to do it, so don't hate me! I want to wish good luck to my political opponents! Akashaton is great and eNorway will not go wrong if chooses him.
I would like to finish by telling you how great it is for me to work, fight and play shoulder to shoulder with you, fellows! Every time I made a mistake - you were there for me (it was only last month that I screw up with the CP proposal deadline (blush))! Every success- you shared with me (I will never forget how a hand full of us- stayed awake all night in order to win us a region so we can have Congress this month)! Thank you!
(Bulgarian by birth, eNorwegian by heart)

On the whole the Pacers have had pretty good luck when it comes to injuries with this core and the staff has to get credit there. And we brought in West after his ACL injury and there is no issue there. In no way am I blaming our staff for the knee injuries, thats just basketball, its incredible difficult on your knees.
But its just kinda funny to say we are the anti-Suns.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Six Massey Energy management personnel -- including the company's corporate safety director -- have filed suit challenging subpoenas that would force them to answer questions about the April 5 explosion that killed 29 workers at Massey's Upper Big Branch Mine.
Lawyers for Massey vice president of safety Elizabeth Chamberlin and five other mine managers allege the state Office of Miners Health, Safety and Training is wrongly using its subpoena power to help federal Mine Safety and Health Administration officials force them to appear for interviews with investigators.
"It is apparent that MSHA has inveigled OMHST to serve as MSHA's stalking horse in this matter, a role the state of West Virginia neither has nor could assign to the state agency," the lawyers wrote in papers filed in Raleigh County Circuit Court.
The court filing sets up another legal battle between Massey and government investigators over the ongoing probe of the worst U.S. coal-mining disaster in 40 years.
"It is unprecedented in the history of mining accidents in this country for a substantial group of mine management to refuse to provide information which will help to prevent this kind of accident from occurring in the future," said longtime mine safety advocate Davitt McAteer, who is conducting an independent probe of the disaster for Gov. Joe Manchin.
In their court filing, the Massey officials object specifically to MSHA investigators taking part in any witness interviews conducted under the authority of state mine safety office subpoenas.
Under state law, West Virginia regulators can compel witnesses to appear for questioning about mining accidents regardless of whether interviews are conducted in public or private. But federal law gives MSHA authority to subpoena witnesses only if the agency investigates through a public hearing, something the Obama administration has refused to do.
MSHA is leading the civil investigation of the explosion, and the disaster is also the subject of a separate federal criminal investigation.
The Massey officials' court filing repeats the company's allegations that MSHA is conducting an unfair and dishonest investigation, rushing to conclusions and attempting to shift blame from any agency role in the disaster.
"MSHA has made relentless and entirely self-serving efforts to impugn Massey Energy and [subsidiary] Performance Coal ever since the accident itself," the court filing said. "At a time of great tragedy and confusion, MSHA immediately sought very publicly to assign blame and to distance itself from its own responsibility for the conditions that may have caused or contributed to the disaster."
MSHA officials have not responded to requests for comment about Massey managers fighting the state's subpoenas, but federal officials issued a news release Wednesday to tout a federal administrative law judge's decision to reject Massey's challenge to MSHA investigation procedures.
"Massey's complaints about the investigation were unfounded, and the company was not disadvantaged in any way," said MSHA chief Joe Main.
Also Wednesday, The Associated Press reported that Massey CEO Don Blankenship had revealed what Blankenship said was evidence that several Upper Big Branch victims knew before their deaths that explosive methane was pouring into the mine just moments before the explosion. Blankenship said there's evidence that miners cut off electricity to the cutting head of the mine's main mining machine and stopped its conveyor belt.
In early August, state mine safety director Ron Wooten had revealed that the mine's longwall mining machine was turned off about 98 seconds before the explosion was believed to have occurred.
And during a media briefing on Aug. 11, MSHA officials confirmed that information, and said that further investigation was needed to determine exactly what it meant.
"The machine was not mining coal when this occurred," said Kevin Stricklin, MSHA's coal administrator. "We're not sure if someone hit an emergency stop button or if the person who had remote control ... if you walk so far away, it also shuts down."
In the AP story, Blankenship also revealed that there was what regulators call a "methane outburst" from the Upper Big Branch Mine floor in 1997, prior to previously reported outbursts in 2003 and 2004.
Investigators are examining whether a methane outburst played a role in the April disaster. Neither Massey nor MSHA has explained publicly what -- if anything -- was done after the earlier incidents to prevent a recurrence.

Nigel Turner owns a swath of land that tourists legally pass through to access the Hualapai Tribe's Skywalk Grand Canyon, the horseshoe-shaped, glass overhang offering unrivaled views of the canyon's west side. Diamond Bar road off U.S. 93 cuts through Turner's property; it is the primary gateway to the attraction.
In 2007 he won a lawsuit for a new road to be built, scheduled for completion last year. Angered that construction is still underway, he has started charging visitors to use Diamond Bar road to cross his ranch. Turner hired a security team, demanding $500 per tour bus, or $20 per adult and $10 per child, over Memorial Holiday weekend.
This week, Hualapai Tribal members took to protesting Turner's "unethical" fee, calling it "highway robbery" of tourists who do not anticipate such a cost.
Turner claims the federal easement allowing access to his property has expired, reported the Santa Fe New Mexican. Federal officials contend otherwise. The parties will meet in mediation tomorrow.
Recently, Turner reportedly got in a dispute with one of the construction workers on the new road. Last night, Mohave County Sheriff Tom Sheahan arrested him for allegedly threatening, intimidating and harassing a construction worker, reported the Las-Vegas Review Journal.
When the worker told Turner that he did not have legal authority to give orders on the construction site, Turner allegedly answered, "I don't need a Court order, I've got a gun."

The global health initiative K-RITH (KwaZulu-Natal Research Institute for Tuberculosis and HIV) is an innovative collaboration between the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), with public sector support through LifeLabs, the biotechnology investment arm of the South African government.
Strategically based in a region with a high volume of TB and HIV cases, K-RITH's state-of-the-art laboratories enables scientists to address the crises of TB and HIV at the heart of the epidemic. The international program draws young scientists with a variety of expertise. Additionally, K-RITH is increasing regional science education opportunities and strengthening the research capabilities of scientists throughout Africa.
Jennifer and Nicholas will spend 8 to 12 weeks at K-RITH in Durban, South Africa, this coming summer. They, along with other students chosen from programs at Johns Hopkins University and Harvard, will have an opportunity to participate in HIV and TB-related research in the new state-of-the-art research facility at K-RITH. The K-RITH internship, awarded to Jennifer and Nicholas, is sponsored by the UAB Global Health and Vaccines Initiative, which received funds from the Dean of the School of Medicine at UAB for this important outreach. UAB is excited to partner with K-RITH in this exchange program and is looking forward to additional opportunities to foster cross-institutional collaborations.

Update 6/24: To be clear, as long as you download Agents of Change during the first two weeks it's available, you'll always be able to play for free. It's only after the first two weeks that folks will have to purchase the content on Xbox LIVE, PSN, or Steam. Hope that clears up any confusion.
Original Post: We're back with new details on Brink DLC and the upcoming title updates for the game.
The game's first DLC, Agents of Change, will be a FREE DOWNLOAD for two weeks on Xbox LIVE, PSN, and Steam! The content is currently in submission at Microsoft and Sony, and we expect it to release in early July. As previously mentioned, the DLC features two all-new environments, five new player abilities, two new outfits, and two new weapon attachments. You can find more details in our previous post, and be sure to check out the screenshots above.
In tandem with the DLC, the teams at Splash Damage and Bethesda have been hard at work on the next major title update for Brink. The update is highlighted by online optimizations, AI enhancements, and weapon balance tweaks based on player feedback. A separate, incremental update is now available on PC, while players of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 version of Brink can expect the full title update alongside the release of Agents of Change.
On behalf of everyone at Bethesda and Splash Damage, I want to thank all of you for your continued support of Brink. We'll be sharing more information as soon as possible.

All West Select Sires is pleased to announce that Dennis Reimer of Coaldale, Alberta, has joined the sales team. Dennis, former owner & operator of Reimer Holsteins, has also worked as a herdsman for Marylander Holsteins and Shelaurvon Holsteins, both in Alberta. He has bred 46 VG and 5 EX cows in his career, as well as breeding the high selling individual of the 2011 Westerner Sale. His extensive hands-on work, combined with sales experience for another A.I. company, give him an upper hand in personal knowledge and training in the dairy industry.
"Growing up, I always had a tremendous amount of respect for Select Sires, not only because of the high number of successful, influential bulls they developed, but also for the long-standing careers and passion of their employees. It's been a progressive and high impact company since I was a kid, so there was no question I wanted to be part of this success. The other exciting part of my new job is that in addition to working with sire analysts to get their impressions of bulls and daughters, I will also have the ability to see daughters myself and pass along that knowledge to my customers."
Dennis will be responsible for direct sales in Alberta (south of Calgary), and will also be an official evaluator with the SMS program in Alberta and British Columbia.
To reach Dennis, please call 403.308.6764 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Reviews for Creamy Sweet Onions
Average Rating
"I LOVE this recipe! I was flippinig through the taste of home magazine several years ago, and came upon this recipe. I tried it, and WOW!!! It has since become one of my favorite all time recipes! Put these onions on a burger and you'll be in love too, I promise!"
"I make this recipe but add sliced cucumbers also. I was searching for a recipe for creamy cucumbers after my husband ate some at a picnic he liked and stumbled along this recipe. So I tried it and he loved it! Never lasts long!"
"I make this recipe frequently for picnics - my best suggestion is to lay the onions in a shallow pan in the fridge so you don't have to worry about the top ones not getting "marinated" enough. These are usually gone but do keep nicely for a few days in the fridge. Yummmmmmm"

There are printers that would do it, but also the wizard, buzzz, roc logo are either registered trademarks or copyrighted so technically it would be illegal to print those designs without permission from their respected companies. you can still get people to do it though.

I don't endorse it either. And I don't advertise it. Part of my issue with doing only custom dye work, is the idea that if someone wants a dye, 99% of the time it's of a company or product, or person. Not an original idea. You pretty much don't have the rights to use that image, or the "likeness" of that image without the owner's permission.
You'd think that people would be cool about some of it, but you'll hear people constantly yell "be careful for copywrite stuff with that man". Hell, I donated 5 dyes to a tourney last weekend and someone wah wah'd about copywrite laws with the corona dye I did.
Even if you don't charge for it it's still illegal. Because the company hasn't given permission for you to use their logo in whatever light you choose. I've made a few shirts for myself of brands of things that I like, but I don't aim to reproduce em for sale.
It kinda sucks, but it's there to protect what's rightfully theirs. Which only makes sense. I've refused several shirt offers because of this. I do it on the side for fun, but I'm super picky as to what kind of work I take in.

Yellow BarkRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
Yellow with aspirin,
that's stuck on my skin.
I'm never alone,
side by side with my kin.
I always bear seed,
which I never need.
And golden Fall crown,
that drops to the ground,
though I am just a weed.
HintFound in the Rocky Mountains.
AnswerA grove of Aspen.
Considered to be the largest living organism, a grove of aspen shares an extensive root system. And though the Aspen produces seeds, new shoots almost always spring up from the root system. Aspen also produce Aspirin, leaving a yellow powder on the bark.
If that's not cool enough, the Aspen is classified as a weed not a tree. Ouch! My head hurts! Well....take two aspen and call me in the morning.
