Mormon Scholars Testify
Lastly, not only do I have a testimony of the gospel, but, I support the church. This church and the doctrines therein are true, and are from God, regardless of any blemishes in the history books, limitations of the leaders, or failings of the church members. Further, I believe in supporting church leaders regardless of the trends of the day, the philosophies of man, or the winds of political thought. We are asked to bend our life to fit the gospel, not bend the gospel to fit our life.

Mitt Romney's Mormonism has no community at its heart
September 24, 2012
The Guardian (United Kingdom)
Romney's message would not have resonated with his Mormon forebears. I live in Rochester, New York, only a few miles from the birthplace of Mormonism – the Hill Cumorah, where in 1827 Joseph Smith is said to have been given the golden tablets of the Book of Mormon, the sacred grove where he had a vision of God the father and of Jesus, and the house where he lived at the time.
It's a small house. Smith's parents had moved to the frontier of western New York State from Vermont, hoping for richer soil and better luck. They found the first but not a great deal of the second. Most of the early Mormons were people like that: struggling artisans and farmers, seekers and souls adrift in a world where chaos and isolation were hard to stave off. The religious manias and utopian communities of this region – the "Burnt-Over District", historians call it – testify to the rootlessness, disorientation, and even terror of life on the fringes of the United States in the 1830s.
Smith offered the Latter-day Saints something more than a new bible and the grand theme of the new world as the kingdom of God. He offered them a community.

Mormon blogger says he faces church slap-down, possible excommunication
September 24, 2012
A Mormon blogger in Florida typed his way into national headlines when he recently went public about facing possible disciplinary action from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
David Twede, who says he's a fifth-generation Mormon, is the managing editor of MormonThink.com, an online publication that invites debate and open discussion about the LDS Church.

Mormon blogger faces excommunication over temples, not Romney
September 24, 2012
Washington Post
In recent days, the blogger has blasted Romney as part of his critique of Mormonism, its beliefs about the nature of God and its temple ceremonies.
But, Twede told The Salt Lake Tribune on Friday, his LDS leaders never brought up Romney, a Mormon, in their exchange with him. Though not supporting the Republican nominee, Twede apologized to Romney, saying, "I didn't mean for (the story) to go this way."
Indeed, plenty of Mormons across the country are critical of Romney — in public and often — but none has been threatened with any church sanction.

Roland Sharette: Reservations about the Mormon faith and Mitt Romney
September 24, 2012
Boulder Daily Camera (Colorado)
To Mr. Romney, these are the 'latter' days when practicing Mormons look forward to an inevitable 'Apocalypse' that will free the faithful from their burdens and find themselves as — depending on their adherence to Mormon principles — actual gods in a universe yet to be understood, but assured by works they may have accomplished on Earth.
Mormons believe they are assembling 'Ten Lost Tribes of Israel' to be 'gathered on American soil,' which demand some strange (to most of us) practices, ceremonies, obeisance to their hierarchy, etc. Along with this they tend to view struggles in the Middle East, climate change, increased crime — even the inequity of rich to poor, as 'prophecy' — as "not much we can do about it but see the prophecy is fulfilled."
As a well respected Mormon Bishop (a fairly significant step in the church hierarchy), Mr. Romney would have access to and no doubt be in communication with the current Prophet Thomas Monson who, as guide and overseer of 'revelations' in the church, is responsible for interpreting and delineating development of church precepts and member responsibilities.

Mitt Romney and his Mormon 'Garments'
September 24, 2012
NBC News
For Mormons, these temple "garments" are a special piece of clothing worn to represent a symbolic gesture of the promises they have made to God, and are seen as either a symbolic or literal source of protection from the evils of the world.
There's a long tradition among editorial cartoonists of drawing politicians in their underwear, but not religious underwear like this. For instance, many cartoonists illustrated President Clinton's sexual dalliances by drawing him with his pants around his ankles and wearing boxer shorts with a pattern of little hearts.
Here are a couple of cartoons I've drawn featuring Romney wearing his Mormon "garments." I have gotten a bit of flack from readers about drawing the mysterious underwear on Romney, but not as much as I expected:

It's Not a Mormon Thing
September 24, 2012
Mesquite Citizen Journal (Nevada)
One of the things I've noticed are the number of commenters who blame all the problems on the LDS church or the Mormon religion. They seemingly blanket all those in the religion with negative connotations. I totally and fundamentally disagree.
I've lived here for 11 years and have been writing about local government and politics for six years. I've been through four mayors and a bunch of council people. I've suffered with the rest of you during the Water District fiasco. I'm the first to say that many of the people involved in some of the problems we've had do indeed belong to the LDS church. But many of the culprits that caused some of the problems do not.
Just to make it perfectly clear, I am not Mormon nor do I participate in any institutional religious organization.

Local Mormons like what they see in Mitt Romney but the church wont officially endorse any political candidate
September 24, 2012
ABC 50 (New York)
Ever since Mitt Romney surfaced in 2008 running for the Republican nomination, his religious beliefs have been under the spot light. Being a Mormon has never been more discussed, as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints caused most of the country to seek answers regarding the details of Mormonism. In a recent article by The Guardian, "Mitt Romney's Mormonism has no community at Heart" focused criticizes the running of Romney's campaign.
The U.K. columnist Michael Steinberg states- "The Mormon presidential candidate's social vision is a far cry from the communitarian ethos of early Mormonism. Mitt Romney's campaign has been all about individualism – a Randian dream of unregulated markets and untrammelled self-interest." At one point in time, the North Country once held the most LDS members in the world. Tucked away in Watertown, New York LDS church, what the Mormons call "Ward" holds an equal amount of civilians and military members.

Evangelicals Vote Republican–Mormon or No Mormon
September 24, 2012
Christianity Today
At this year's Values Voter Summit, held September 14-16, the tone was very different. There was no anti-Mormon rhetoric; Jeffress was not invited to speak; and organizers talked about the growing enthusiasm for the Republican ticket.
Speaking at the National Press Club before this year's summit, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins said enthusiasm for Romney among social conservatives is building. Perkins pointed out that Romney's Mormonism could be a plus.
"We're not hiring a pastor in chief. We're not asking him to lead a national church–we don't want a national church," Perkins said. "We want religious freedom, and I think someone who has been part of a persecuted religion is going to be even more sensitive to the issue of religious freedom."

Mitt Romney Mexican Heritage: A Look Inside the Mormon Community in Mexico Where Romney Has Roots
September 24, 2012
VICE's Shane Smith decided to travel to Chihuahua via Ciudad Juarez, one of the most dangerous cities for journalists in the world, to uncover the story behind this under-reported, yet highly important Mormon community in Mexico. In typical VICE style, he's put together an entertaining and compelling film called "The Mexican Mormon War" that uncovers some revealing secrets about Romney's relatives in Mexico.
In the seven-part series, Smith gets to the heart of the Mexican drug war, speaking with officials about drugs, guns, and the sheer extent of the violence that's resulted from the decades long war on drugs. He reveals that the war on drugs has killed 10 times as many people as the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He investigates the obscure Mormon community living in Mexico, a collection of Utah polygamists residing in upscale communities and native Mexicans who joined the LDS Church.

Will Mitt Romney Fulfill the Mormon White Horse Prophecy?
September 24, 2012
Market Oracle
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney could become the first Mormon president of the United States. Questions about how a candidate's religious faith may impact his presidency are always a topic of discussion during campaign season but when the candidate belongs to something other than an established mainstream American Church, people are more curious.
There is one piece of information I find particularly interesting, given everything unfolding in the United States at the moment. Before his death, Joseph Smith supposedly issued the White Horse Prophecy, which stated that at some time in the future of the United States, evil men and secret combinations would combine to destroy liberty, freedom and free agency in the United States. It is true that we do see this happening today by secretive power elites, politicians and the Federal Reserve.
This prophecy claimed that through political or educational actions Mormons would see the Constitution hanging by a thread and rescue the Constitution and nation from strife, evil control and destruction. Many in the Church support this prophecy while the leadership today backpedals from such an extreme statement.

Vox Populi: 'Concerning the letter about not trusting Mormons — I'd rather trust a Mormon than a moron'

Savannah Morning News (Georgia)

Issues for LDS voters
September 23, 2012
Arizona Republic
John Chiazza claims Mormons will have a difficult task voting for Romney because his stance on immigration supposedly differs from the church's ("Romney, LDS out of sync," Letters, Thursday). He suggests Mormons should vote against Romney because he's not following teachings of his church.
My question to Mr Chiazza is: Whom does he expect Mormons, or other Christians for that matter, to vote for?
If we vote for the candidate who most closely represents our values, then Mormons, Catholics, Baptists, Protestants, and others will find it difficult to vote for Obama because his stance on things like abortion and same-sex marriage that go against church teachings, too.

Harry Reid: Mitt Romney is not the face of Mormonism
September 24, 2012
Salt Lake Tribune (Utah)
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he agrees with a fellow Mormon who wrote recently that Mitt Romney has "sullied" the LDS faith and that the GOP presidential candidate is "not the face of Mormonism."
Reid, a Mormon Democrat from Nevada, blasted Romney in a conference call for reporters over a litany of things the Republican nominee has said recently. And Reid added that Latter-day Saints aren't buying Romney's rhetoric.
"He's coming to a state where there are a lot of members of the LDS Church," Reid said in advance of Romney's Friday visit to Nevada. "They understand that he is not the face of Mormonism."
In contrast, other prominent Mormons have thanked Romney for presenting a positive image of the church.

Willford Woodruff issues 'Mormon Manifesto,' Sept. 24, 1890
September 24, 2012
On this day in 1890, leaders of the Mormon Church reluctantly ordered members to uphold the nation's newly re-codified anti-polygamy laws. Followers of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had been practicing "plural marriage" since the 1840s.
In issuing "the Mormon Manifesto," Willford Woodruff, the church's president, responded to mounting anti-polygamy pressure from Congress. At the time, the federal government had revoked the church's incorporation documents, seized its assets and imprisoned many prominent Mormon polygamists.

Media's Silence About Mormons And Its History of Racism
September 24, 2012
Black Star News
Ironically the campaign to stop the re-election of President Barack Obama is led by the Republican nominee former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. His ascendancy as a major party candidate speaks volumes to White supremacy. Romney was born and raised in the Mormonism, a faith which held racist views towards Black people and even barred them from priesthood well into the 20th century. Has Romney ever denounced the tenants of the church which was in the Book of Mormon or denounced its history of racist practices?
Romney has said he is proud to be a Mormon candidate. Mormonism is a quasi religion that openly believes in a racist doctrine like no other, as you can read in the following five books in the Mormon of Latter Day Saints Holy Book: 2 Nephi 5:20-25; Alma 3:6-9; Mormon 5:15-1: Nephi 12:23 and Jacob 3:5.

'Hasa Diga Eebowai" is the hit number in Broadway's hit musical "The Book of Mormon," which won nine Tony awards last year. What does the phrase mean? I can't tell you, because it's unprintable in a family newspaper.
On the other hand, if you can afford to shell out several hundred bucks for a seat, then you can watch a Mormon missionary get his holy book stuffed–well, I can't tell you about that, either. Let's just say it has New York City audiences roaring with laughter.

"The Book of Mormon," a huge hit on Broadway, mocks the church's beliefs as hocus-pocus. But Mormons haven't burned down any theaters.
So why do parts of the Islamic world erupt in violence over insults to the Prophet Muhammad?

North Iowa Sign is Turning Heads

KIMT (Iowa)
If you're heading into Charles City from the Avenue of the Saints you'll see this sign. It reads "I'd take the Mormon over the moron anyday." The spelling error is included on the sign.
For most people driving by, that refers to Mitt Romney as the "Mormon," and President Barack Obama to fill in the rest.
Because this particular sign has such strong messaging we wanted to see exactly what people thought about it, so we took a picture and got people's reactions.

I've never had the stomach problems with cissus-drol that I get initially with hyperdrol. Either way I just take it last thing at night and ramp up the dose from one cap to the full amount over a period of a week or so to let my stomach adjust.
Same thing for me, I take a minimum of 3 caps right before bed. No stomach upset for me personally.

The state is challenging a judge's ruling that a reporter for The Florida Times-Union does not have to testify in a case involving a former aide to Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll.
Circuit Judge Frank Sheffield ruled last month that the state could not force Matt Dixon into court in the case of Carletha Cole, the former Carroll aide. The state says Cole broke the law by recording a conversation with Carroll's chief of staff and leaking it to the Times-Union.
The state says Dixon is the only person who can testify that Cole sent the recording of a conversation she had Jon Konkus in September 2011. On it, Konkus is heard saying that Steve MacNamara, then Gov. Rick Scott's chief of staff, was afraid of Carroll.
Cole was fired on Sept. 9, 2011, hours after telling the Times-Union of infighting and dysfunction in Carroll's office. She was arrested the following month for leaking the recording.
In subsequent court filings, she said she saw Carroll and another aide, Beatriz Ramos, in "a compromising position" in Carroll's office. Carroll denied the allegation.

Design patterns are a cornerstone of modern software development. Using them can improve the maintainability of your Java applications and help you accomplish other tasks more effectively. Jeff Friesen's three-part introduction to design patterns takes a wide-angle view, from the GoF patterns to design patterns used in interaction design, team organization, and more. Part 1 introduces the concept and use of design patterns, offers some design pattern history and trivia, and ends with a listing of software design patterns by classification. Included with this article is a complete index of design pattern tutorials on JavaWorld.
Numerous strategies have been devised to simplify and reduce the costs of designing software, especially in the area of maintenance. Learning how to identify and work with reusable software components (occasionally referred to as software integrated circuits) is one strategy. Using design patterns is another.
This article launches a three-part series on design patterns. In this part I'll introduce the conceptual framework of design patterns and walk through a demonstration of evaluating a design pattern for a particular use case. I'll also discuss the history of design patterns, including some interesting trivia. Finally, I'll classify and summarize the most-used software design patterns that have been discovered and documented through the past couple of decades.
Designing reusable object-oriented software that models an existing system is genuinely challenging. A software developer must factor the system's entities into classes whose public interfaces aren't overly complex, establish relationships among classes, expose inheritance hierarchies, and more. Because most software remains in use long after it was written, software developers also need to address current application requirements while keeping their code and infrastructure flexible enough to meet future needs.
Experienced object-oriented developers have discovered that software design patterns facilitate the coding of stable and robust software systems. Reusing these design patterns rather than constantly developing new solutions from scratch is efficient, and it reduces some of the risk of error. Every design pattern identifies a recurring design problem in a specific application context, then offers a generalized, reusable solution that is applicable to different application scenarios.
"A design pattern describes the classes and interacting objects used to solve a general design problem in a specific context."
Some developers define a design pattern as a class-encoded entity (such as a linked list or bit vector), whereas others say that a design pattern is in the entire application or subsystem. My view is that a design pattern describes the classes and interacting objects used to solve a general design problem in a specific context. More formally, a design pattern is specified as a description that consists of four basic elements:
David Geary's Java design patterns series is an excellent first stop for learning about some of the Gang of Four patterns mentioned in this article:
Allen Holub wrote about several important concurrency patterns and other design techniques for his Java toolbox series, "Programming Java in the real world":
Brian Goetz's two JavaWorld articles about double-checked locking are essential reading for anyone inclined to put too much faith in an out-of-the-box solution:
Design patterns are discussed in JavaWorld's Java 101, Java tips and Java Q&A series:
Some patterns have become more important with time:
Others have stood the test of time:

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
It's been a while since i wrote this. I wrote it straight out of high school and to be honest, its not my best. But there's no reason to hide it. I thought it was good and I know that writing isn't my strong suit. Oh the poorly written memories. I tried.
I don't know about you guys but the Transformers Movies really suck. I was born a little late to watch the cartoon but I still got the gist of what Transformers should be. Honestly, why in the world were there humans, let alone the likes of Shia Lebouf and Megan Fox. They were really the wrong choice. But I digress... Anyway iterations of Transformers were slim, the last video game, based on the movie, was simply terrible. So fans, and late ones like me, were longing for an original yet true to it's past Transformers game. Enter War for Cybertron. Simply put: Slightly above average. But more meets the eye after an hour of play (see where I went?). But terrible jokes aside, I was really surprised with this iteration. I played the demo when It was released and really had a good time. It was really like being a kid running around blowing stuff up. But that was the multiplayer, an early version at that.
The campaign, while not Oscar worthy, featured a great backdrop for fighting robots. I don't want to give away the details of the story but it takes place on the planet Cybertron prior to the events of the animated series Transfomers: Prime. This is when the Transfomers still lived on their planet and hadn't traveled to Earth yet. Megatron is after a great power to take over Cybertron and then the Universe while the Primes are simply trying to retain peace from their civil war. The campaign itself is divided by two, with the Decepticons acting as prelude to the Autobots campaign. Popular voices return with Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime and a very familiar sounding Soundwave. Overall the story works and serves the fans, new and old for some good ol' play time. All of the voice acting is pretty good with decent writing and the banter between the characters often leaves you wanting to hear more. I got a few chuckles out of some quips made during the Decepticon set of missions.
There are three characters to choose from before starting a stage and the campaign has full co-op with up to three players and when no one is around the AI takes over. Here,there's a slight problem. The AI isn't very smart and when there are objectives they seem to gaze at the stars as you try and manage everything. It would be far easier to take down bosses if you're partners would aim straight. But this never makes the game unplayable. Obviously, T: WfC, was built for co-op and with in mind. I played solo, because I role that way, and on the normal difficulty. At a glance it's a standard third person, over the shoulder type of style game. Anyone familiar with the controls with basic third person controls can easily pick this up. There's decent variety is weapons, machine guns, snipers, pistols, and different types of launchers. There's a simple HUD with clear objectives that come onscreen, it doesn't feel like hand holding and although the entire game is scripted, it's not completely predictable. (People, I mean Robots, die). Definitely what sets apart War for Cybertron from other Third Person Shooters is the vehicle transforming. This is incredibly fun. They all have unique attributes and mounted guns as well as their own abilities (boosts, dashes, etc.) You can change on the fly without a hitch and its great flanking enemies, jumping in the air and raining hell. While in Bot form, you also receive varying special abilities and these really depend on who you are playing as. There are defensive, turrets and shields. Supportive ones like ammo, and a plethora of offensive/tactical abilities. This includes cloaking, to whirlwind attacks, to a hover mode which increases damage during the duration of that ability. There are many benefits to these all and each can be both supportive for a team and individual boosting. These more highlighted in multiplayer.
Speaking of which, the multiplayer features a lot of creative play. There are four classes, with customizable weapon and ability choices. This includes a scout which transforms into a fast car and is mostly good for sniping and doing sneak attacks. Another class is called the soldier. This class has a tank transformer and unlike the car which has a machine gun, the tank is much stronger, but slower, but the soldier hasmore health. There are two other classes which are the scientist and leader. The scientist can fly whereas the leader is more of a bulky-type war machine. There's a leveling system that, as you progress, unlocks better weapons and abilities and as you continue you can create up to three different combos for each class. There are quite a few maps to play on and there are the standard match types like death match, team death match, CTF, and other variations of what we know and love. In addition, there's a horde-like mode which, similar to co-op is highly competitive and enjoyable.
I keep things vague because Transformers: War for Cybertron has a lot to offer which anyone who is a fan or wants a nice change is pace of gaming. It's not completely unique at a glance but the parts do add to the whole and if you give a chance, there's a lot of fun to have. There's definitely a nostalgic feeling that comes from a game like this.There is nearly no other game that stays true to its source material and does something with it. (Other than Batman: Arkham Asylum) I hope this trend continues. It just proves there doesn't need to be a sell out and if you focus on who your audience and realize you can't make every demographic, something often attempted with other games on a weekly basis, you satisfy who matters the most: the fans. It's so refreshing to see just robots doing what we want and no freaking humans thrown in for some dramatic effect, especially that Shia Lebouf. Which is why I'm comfortable giving Transformers: WfC a three and a half out of five stars. I'm really basing this on the fun factor and with a couple of buddies for a weekend, you can't go wrong. There are little flaws here and there but there's a lot do to and more importantly, its just plain fun. I know I mentioned this several times and it's only because I was playing Assassin's Creed II earlier today and even though I really like it and the game is overall really great as a whole, I kept saying to myself, " I just want to have fun and skip all the deep story I enjoyed the first time around. I'm not saying I don't like complex games but at times its nice to fall back to some old roots where there's a clear good and bad guy and you go in there and go crazy.
If anything, rent this because the campaign does shed some light on how
some of the main bots met for the first time. It's simple enough and the
multiplayer keeps giving and giving. Feel free to learn more from
IGN.com and Gametrailers.com which have gameplay footage.

Just a few months ago, local geek event curator Kenna Conklin of GeekPortland threw a mighty bash for all the geeks of our fair city, celebrating GeekPortland's birthday with music, trivia, and good times for all. The GeekPortland GeekParty was so enjoyed by all that she went to work planning a second party–and it lands this Saturday! This time around, the GeekParty will be featuring the talents of Seattle-based nerd rock band Kirby Krackle and local darlings The Doubleclicks, as well as their own brand of trivia in the GeekPortland GameShow!
Because we at PGC3 are full of questions, Kenna was kind enough to take a few minutes and tell us more about what went into making the GeekParty happen:
It's not every day that someone throws a big, nerdy shindig for every geek in town–how was your experience planning the first GeekParty?
The first GeekParty was something that was put in my lap! The Doubleclicks approached me about working with them on a show they had already scheduled with the Broadsides. I jumped at the opportunity and created the GeekPortland GameShow and turned on the hype machine! The night turned out to be a wonderful example of how much fun Portland Geeks can have when they get together. People we already asking when the next one would be that night.
I know you've been wanting to bring Kirby Krackle to Portland for quite a while–can you tell us a bit more about that?
I first discovered Kirby Krackle about three years ago after hearing their hit single Ring Capacity. It was such an earworm that I had to have more! Since then, I've been trying to spread the word on what a great nerdrock band we have living just up the freeway. It wasn't until this year that they finally played Portland and I wanted to get them back AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I'm delighted that they are joining us!
You've been bold enough to take on the task of putting on your own trivia segment at the GeekParty–what challenges are there with putting that together?
Writing trivia is HARD! Luckily, I have a Gamemaster, Rich Malena, helping me out. We've been writing a lot and culling a lot – trying to get that balance between challenging and fun. We've looked into all corners of geekdom for categories and questions. I hope that people will be amused with what we've come up with. I definitely have some favorites that I hope get picked!
This party is definitely not to be missed, and tickets are only available at the door! Be sure to arrive early, so you can throw your hat in the ring for the GameShow and potentially win fabulous prizes from local geek businesses. You can learn more about the event on GeekPortland, or join the crowd on Facebook.
And, don't forget to bring some canned food–car2go Portland, will also be there collecting food donations for the Oregon Food Bank! In exchange for your donation, car2go will waive new member fees, or offer bonus drive time to current members.

With ultramodern cleaning equipment and a team of auto experts, Shrewsbury Car Wash bestows hot-rod beauty on filthy jalopies. During the Super car wash, vehicles glide through an automatic washer for a hull buffing ($12.95/wash). Then a vinyl technician explores interiors to polish dashboards, windows, and cup holders before vacuuming floor surfaces of accumulated peanut shells and Bazooka Joe comic strips. The facility wash water is reclaimed and treated using an eco-friendly process, earning it green status and favoritism from Mother Nature.
With America's Best Car Care Plan, ASE-certified technicians keep autos running smoothly by injecting car insides with up to 5 quarts of clean conventional oil (upgrades to synthetic require additional charges) and performing a host of auto-maintenance services. Brake inspections and adjustments grant drivers the peace of mind that cars are safe and equipped for inclement weather and duck-crossing signs that come out of nowhere. Two tire rotations ensure automotive equilibrium can find long-lasting balance and tire grooves wear evenly.
Focusing on promptness, Camelot Car Service sends its fleet of well-kept vehicles to locations all over New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Camelot's drivers specialize in airport travel, dispatching Lincoln Town Cars to drop off and retrieve passengers from JFK, La Guardia, and Newark International.
Ultimate Sound & Security personalizes vehicles with a variety of services and a litany of automotive accessories, such as custom wheels, stereos, and amp racks. Techs can also raise or lower vehicles and install everything from alarm systems to remote starters, which allow drivers to start cars with remotes or by blinking five times in rapid succession.
With every tire purchase at Suburban Discount Tire, customers receive complimentary tire services including free repairs, rotations, and wear-and-tear checks. A team of technicians extends the life of rubber feet through a nitrogen-fill program, which helps maintain proper tire inflation to keep cars trundling down highways or careening through drive-in movie screens during pivotal plot points. The techs also performer preventative services to repair faulty belts, leaky AC systems, and oil filters overdue for a change.
Advanced Auto Spa's staff prepares vehicles for winter's visitation with the interior and exterior cleanings of the super wash. At the spa, which saw The Situation's Bentley to cleanliness, buggies ride through the tunnel's automated sprays to clear their outer parts and underbodies of grime and erase dissertations scrawled on dirty windows. A coat of Armor All cleans and protects wheels and tires, and a layer of wax seals in shininess. To keep interiors sparkling, the cleaners vacuum up detritus and wipe down dusty dashboards, then give rides a quick towel drying and send them back out to cruise the world's highways.

I found a discussion for McDonald but my only option is to post a reply to the post that is already there. Other than both being McDonald the families aren't related. So I don't think I should post to the other querie but doesn't seem right to being a new discussion on McDonald. What am I missing?
I recently joined Genealogy Wise. Sounds like a great idea but am disappointed by the lack of content and the lack of user friendliness finding my way around. Any suggestions? Is there a tutorial I should be watching? I'd love to connect with others working on the same lines.
HI Sandy,
Initially I think we are all supposed to list some of the families we are looking for so that others can connect with us.
Sometimes, what is a McDonald might actually be a McDonnell, so if you have say ten family lines that need help with. I would list them here and then you might actually get a real nibble on the McDonald line as well. I have never seen a Surname folder here....but then someone else might actually know where they are if there are any.
I am looking for Day/Dea/Dye/Die/Dey; O'Hehir/O'Hare/Hare; Brady, Garside and too many more to list tonight.
But these are the ones I need now. So if you have any clues for me--post a reply and I will help you find some of your McDonalds. Do you have any names and DoBs for them? or wedding dates or anything like that?
Donna Smeall
Thanks for taking the time to respond Donna. When I set up my home page there was a space for surnames. It would be nice to have a listing somewhere by Surname of all the different researchers. I would think it would be fairly simple since just about every genealogical society site has one but I don't know how to program.
My McDonalds are at a brick wall. I've been working on them for years. Patrick was born in Ireland and I know he was in Iroquois, Matilda, Dundas, Ontario, Canada by 1837 because he fought in the War of the Rebellion. I've found all the census and his death record. I've checked church, cemetery, immigration records and newspapers with no luck. I've pulled records on his wife and all his children. Each record indicates a different date of birth from 1806 - 1817 but it was in Ireland. He married about 1845 in Ontario.
Recently I've been in contact with another McDonald family. They settled in the same very small place, Iroquois. James McDonald immigrated between 1840 - 1845. I don't know if his unnamed wife immigrated too or died in Ireland. His young daughter Maria immigrated. Again nothing more specific than "Ireland" and no date of immigration.
I have worked on other Patrick McDonalds and disproved them as being mine. He was not one of the Robinson settlers and he lived his life in Iroquois. To my knowledge he never owned land although I did obtain a copy of a land grant request for militia and public service. Unable to determine if a grant was awarded to him.
I've not come across your surnames. What are their locations and time frames? Most of my research centers on familes from Syracuse, NY & Niagara County, NY (Central & Western NY). Then I have a handful of Mohawk Valley Loyalists in Canada, And I've been able to take a few lines back into Germany & England.
Sandy, I agree with you. I cannot locate the folders. How do we connect with others with the same surname here? Have you learned more about this?
I have many of the same questions. I was hoping this is a place to connect with others. However, it just seems like a place to submit queries.
I'd like to reach out to others but have no information on their surnames.
Have you tried the facebook groups? There is one for each county in Ireland and there's lots of sharing of ideas.

A torso was found inside a suitcase that was placed in a pile of garbage behind a residential building Tuesday, May 29, 2012 in Montreal.
Credits: MICHEL DESBIENS/QMI
OTTAWA - Body parts found in the mail in Ottawa on Tuesday are believed to be from a male whose dismembered torso was discovered tossed out with garbage in Montreal.
The horrific case is now being investigated by Montreal police, with assistance from detectives in Ottawa. Police in Montreal are expected to issue an update Wednesday afternoon.
"The investigators have reason to believe that there is a link but there's nothing proven yet," a Montreal police source told QMI Agency. "The investigation was transferred from Ottawa to Montreal.
There is no medico-legal link that has been done, the test results have not come back yet to connect the hand and the foot.
"But investigators have evidence and they are looking at these elements to see if there is a link between all of this."
Earlier Wednesday, sources in Montreal said police expect to be able to quickly identify a suspect through evidence at the scene where the torso was found, without limbs and head, stuffed in a suitcase and left among a large pile of garbage outside a building in the Snowdon neighbourhood.
The caretaker of the Place Lucy building found the body on Tuesday morning after receiving complaints about a strong smell coming from a garbage pile.
The janitor said the suitcase had been there for at least a week.
New "investigative elements that point to the identification of a suspect," were announced by Simon Delorme, a spokesman for Montreal Police, late Tuesday. "A close analyses of the scene revealed a lot of information."
While Montreal police were investigating the torso, two equally horrifying discoveries were being made in mailed packages in two separate Ottawa locations. Wednesday morning, police confirmed both packages, one containing a severed human foot, the other a human hand, had originated in the Montreal area.
The severed foot was found Tuesday morning at the 130 Albert St. headquarters of the Conservative Party of Canada. A CPC staffer made the gruesome discovery after partially opening a box in the day's mail delivery.
The staffer was overwhelmed by a horrid stench, and immediately alerted police.
Once it was determined that the bloodstained package contained human remains, the Ottawa Police Major Crimes unit was called in. Late Tuesday, police carried a yellow bag out of Tory headquarters and confirmed a human foot was in the box.
Later Tuesday, Ottawa police investigators confirmed the discovery of the second body part, a human hand. Police have not said where it was being sent to, but the package was discovered at an Ottawa Canada Post facility.
Sources told QMI Agency an "alert postal worker" noticed the package because of its markings and a putrid stench. Police wouldn't confirm the markings were a hand-drawn heart - nor would they confirm whether notes were sent with the decomposing limbs.
The discovery left many workers shaken, and their unease had not abated on Wednesday. Postal workers at the sorting plant called the discovery of human body parts disturbing.
"It's a little unsettling," said one employee. "Personally, I don't like it."
Security guards roamed the perimeter of the facility on Wednesday, which appeared to be running business as usual. Several postal workers, including workers at another nearby Canada Post property, said they had been ordered not to talk to media.
One worker talking to media on Wednesday was ordered away by a loud security guard and left.
Police have not speculated or commented on what might have happened to the other missing limbs, or the victim's head.

I, along with many others, am addicted to Pintrest.
I like trying new recipes. So here are a few of the new "keepers" with pictures of my final products. I'm not going to include all of the ingredients and instructions, just a link to where I found it (each title is the recipe link). If I made variations or have tips... those will be below the pictures :)
* I definitely added lemon juice
* My goat cheese log was 8oz so I put in the whole thing :) hehe
* I added 2 cloves of pressed garlic
* I substituted chopped fresh basil for the tarragon
* I like that they combine steps (the boiling of pasta and throwing in the asparagus for the last 3 minutes!)
* It was SOOOO good. We had it as a side to a delicious bone in prime rib. Definitely making this again!
* I substituted dried cranberries for the toasted coconut
* I used dark chocolate instead of semisweet or milk
* I used wheat germ
* I suggest spraying your measuring cup with cooking spray before the peanut butter and honey (it comes out easier and you don't leave half of it in the cup!)
* I used a cookie scoop to start the ball then rolled with my hands.
* They're good :) Nice and chilly in the frig and a quick snack.
* I used a french vanilla cake mix, margarine, low fat cream cheese, & Splenda as healthIER substitutes
* I followed the directions exactly and it was a little difficult to spread in the bottom and spread out the cream cheese mixture as it was pretty sticky. I went with the "plop" method. haha. Still came out delicious (as you can see from the corner I tasted as soon as I took it out of the oven!). With some vanilla ice cream... whoahhh Nelly!!
* Followed directions exactly.
* Drank 96 oz. today and LOVED it!! I was actually carrying it around with me everywhere! Coming from someone who doesn't drink NEARLY enough water, this makes it easier!!

I'm wondering… is £140 ($224) a week [inc. food] too much?
That's a lot, even for London… (I went to uni in Southampton) but I can see the appeal :-)

Best Vegan Mac and Cheese in the entire world...seriously
1 1/2 pounds pasta, preferably macaroni "Cheese" Sauce:
1 1/2 cups unsweetened nondairy milk
1 1/2 cups nutritional yeast
1 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 cup water
1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
1/4 (12 ounce) block firm (not silken) tofu
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon vegesal or in lack of fancy product, just use salt
1 dollop mustard, optional
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Boil water in a big pot and cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Add all of the "cheese" sauce ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Once pasta is cooked, drain and put it in the baking pan (about the size of a brownie pan). Pour the "cheese" sauce over the pasta.
3. Bake until the top of the pasta looks slightly browned and crispy, about 15 minutes.
This is very simple and tastes amazing! If you are cooking for yourself, it will last about 5 days if you eat it for all three meals of the day.
I LOVED this recipe. SO GOOD! We have a ton of leftovers which is great. I used 1/2 oil + 1/2 vegan butter as well. Then 1/2 of the garlic powder and 1/2 of the paprika. Then I added bread crumbs to the top to make it golden brown and crunchier. Lastly, I used half a bag of vegan shredded cheese. Definitely recommend this recipe. We will make it again!
Wow. I really like it. Whenever my girlfriend and I want Mac, I usually just search for any old recipe... This recipe I am saving. We cut the recipe in 1/3 and we both had a large portion and have equal amounts left over for lunch tomorrow.
Added bread crumbs on the top to get more mac and cheese crunch on top. Thinking about next time making some sort of flour rue or using egg replacer to thicken it up... so you could serve it as a wedge.
Also, I have been counting portion and calories... and my recipe came in at 1,890 calories - the dinner I ate tonight was 1/4 of that - 473 kcal, which is not bad for the best Mac and Cheese in the entire world.
So for the original recipe, that is 3 * 1,890 = 5,670.
I would make this again! I did not use vegasel or whatever that is, I just used a pinch of salt. I thought it did come out soy-saucy flavor wise, and it does not really taste like cheese at all. However I am making this again because it is a good base---I served the mac on top of garlic sauteed spinach and mushrooms.
Point of interest: If you make this recipe in your Magic Bullet Blender attachment, you will make a giant yellow mess. It's JUST BARELY too much liquid for your Magic Bullet to contain, and might result in spraying your kitchen ceiling with fake cheese sauce.
Meanwhile, this recipe is one of my favourite meals, ever. Although it doesn't create its out-of-the-oven consistency after reheating, it's still really yummy a few days later. I always use the entire box of tofu, and if I only have silken tofu on hand, that's okay, because adding 1/4 C potato flakes compensates for the lack of firm-ivity.
Great with chunks of steamed broccoli or cauliflower. Great with defrosted and de-liquided frozen spinach.
also, when you pour the cheeze sauce, mix it well into the macaroni , im eating this RIGHT now, with some crispy fried tofu ...heaveeen
omg so this was absolutely AMAAZING . i made in on thanksgiving , and again last night ! (yes it was THAT good) ..i didnt use so much soy sauce , & only a tiny spoon of garlic .. & i added earth balance , no water , PEOPLE , the great thing about this is you can TASTE the sauce before you add it, so you can alter it to your liking. i also added seasoning salt after it was cooked, and a litttle hot sauce & earth balance...soooo gooood
I often substitute cauliflower or broccolli with mushrooms ground up in the food processor instead of the tofu. It helps with thickening and is so good! The amount of oil the recipe calls for is way too much. I only use half. Oh, and baking is optional. You can mix it together and eat it without baking and it's just as good.
I have no idea what i did wrong but this smelled horrible. Like sour tofu.
I think i may have added too much garlic powder.
BUT after i let it bake and added A LOT of cheese it taste really good.
I'm slightly stupid though because i made 1 1/2 lbs of uncooked pasta which turned into too much pasta to fit into my glass pan. I also had to throw away 1/2 of the sauce because it was too much.
All in all, it took me a week to finish and it was pretty good:)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [Xen-API] cross-pool migrate, with any kind of storage (shared or local)
Well... Some about contras. > Con: we do need to write something to manage a drbd instance, which may be on a shared host (eg vanilla Debian dom0) I think we can create some pre-reserved area like we do for management (MGT LVM). It not really large space (in sectors): Ms = [ C/262144 ] x 8 + 72 So if we limit VDI to 2TiB size it will be about 64Gb. Not very small, but not really big. Or we can request to supply VDI for cross-domain migration manually (if we could not create it automatically). For example, if we do cross-pool migration from shared storage to shared storage we can use local drives for drbd metadata. DRBD manual points exact formula for size, so we can ask user for well known size of temporary vdi. Selection of network, I think, again, is question for user: we can not predict where load is less critical. By default management network (where memory is copied during migration) is reasonable default. (And note: we can allow user to supply as a speed of replication! - it can be changed online during replication process). ... I'd like to note one more important question. When we talk about 'pool' - we assume same site with fine networking, dedicated network to storage and so on. But cross-pool migration is differ. It even can happen between different sites (f.e. from NY to Paris datacenter) via unprotected networks. Yes, we can say 'protect network by some network-level security mechanism', but it will be very hard for some people to do. For example: migration from one datacenter to other from dedicated server (local storage). In this case establishing a secure connection will be really hard - and optional security (for example via stunnel) will be very attractive feature (not just cross-pool migration, but 'secure cross-pool migration via unprotected WAN'). It not needed to be enabled by default (due high CPU load) but can be really useful for some users (and as far as I know is not really require especial efforts: XCP has used stunnel for internal purposes already).

The parents of Œdipus, King Laios and his queen, Jocaste, lived for a long time in childless wedlock. Laios, who is longing for an heir, asks the Delphic Apollo for advice. The oracle answers that he may have a son if he so desires; but fate has ordained that his own son will kill him. Fearing the fulfilment of the oracle, Laios refrains from conjugal relations, but being intoxicated one day, he nevertheless procreates a son, whom he causes to be exposed in the river Kithairon, barely three days after his birth. In order to be quite sure that the child will perish, Laios orders his ankles to be pierced. According to the account of Sophocles, which is not the oldest, however, the shepherd who has been intrusted with the exposure, surrenders the boy to a shepherd of King Polybos, of Corinth, at whose court he is brought up, according to the universal statement. Others say that the boy was exposed in a box on the sea, and was taken from the water by Periböa, the wife of King Polybos, as she was rinsing her clothes by the shore.32 Polybos brought him up as his own son.
Œdipus, on hearing accidentally that he is a foundling, asks the Delphian oracle for his own parents, but receives the prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. In the belief that this prophecy refers to his foster parents, he flees from Corinth to Thebes, but on the way unwittingly kills his father Laios. By solving a riddle, he frees the City from the plague of the Sphinx, a man-devouring monster, and in reward is given the hand of Jocaste, his mother, as well as the throne of his father. The revelation of these horrors, and the subsequent misfortune of Œdipus, were a favorite subject for spectacular display among the Greek tragedians.

I've dogged on this team all year, but I was downright impressed with what they did last night, regardless of the loss.
Titus on Ohio State's Loss to Michigan
Mark Titus isn't even mad.
Take a deep breath, Ohio State fans, and think about it: If you would've known before the game that Michigan would hit 14 3-pointers, have five players score in double figures, and shoot 47 percent from the field, how much would you have guessed Ohio State would've lost by? Twenty? Fifty? A million? Heading into the game, I was certain the night would end in embarrassment for the Buckeyes. Sure, OSU matches up better with Michigan than any team in the country, but the Wolverines were coming off a loss and they were playing a revenge game at home against their rivals. Meanwhile, except for the November game at Duke, the Buckeyes haven't played particularly well on the road this season. All signs pointed to a Michigan blowout. But Ohio State rose to the occasion and provided us with the best game in college basketball this year.
Anyway, stay positive, Buckeyes fans. I've been saying all year that if Ohio State could get everything clicking, they have the pieces necessary to make a national championship run. Tuesday night proved it. Now let's cross our fingers and hope they put forth a similar effort when Indiana comes to Columbus on Sunday.
I was saying the same things to a couple of my friends last night after the game. It sucks to lose but that was one of the better all around games our guys played. If guys like LaQ and Amir can use this as a stepping stone towards bigger things, we could be in for a nice March run.
Okay, Mark, you had me right up until the last paragraph:
I've been saying all year that if Ohio State could get everything clicking, they have the pieces necessary to make a national championship run. Tuesday night proved it.
Sorry, Mr. Titus, unless one of those pieces is pure dumb luck, I'm seeing a team with all of the pieces to make a run into the first round or two, but not to the final bell.
That said, yes, the performance in Ann Arbor relative to pre-game expectations was good, though I'll contend that our management of the extra minutes was a disappointing disaster.
The problem is getting a poor seed. If you are a #1 seed going into the tournament, then you play no one good until the Sweet 16 round, and it's not even that good of a team. Get a 3 or 4 seed, you are playing a much better opponent at that level, and have more teams that can knock you off. Last year, with Syracuse being weak with Melo out, even a 2 seed was facing not that great competition until the Final 4. And then we lost.
It all comes down to what your bracket looks like and who chokes ahead of you. We are the 11th most likely team to win it all based on the betting markets. If we can get an overachieving team like Gonzaga in the Sweet 16 (or they slip up), then the Elite 8 run looks better
I'd say the problem, more than seed, is your bracket and the matchups presented, as you alluded to in your second paragraph.
Two years ago Ohio State had the best team in the country, and was the #1 overall seed. They ran into quite possibly the worst matchup imaginable, and it was a 4 seed in Kentucky. They'd have been better off as a 2 seed in a different bracket.
Seed does not matter, truly, and is like splitting hairs when you're looking at the differences between a 3, 4, and 5 seed. As long as Ohio State continues to improve and they get a "decent" seeding with a manageable bracket, in terms of matchups, I'll be happy. To be honest, there is not a single team above Ohio State in the rankings that causes me considerable worry. They really can play with and beat anyone in the country. They could also lose to a lot of teams below them, but that is life in CBB this year.
"What we do in life echoes in eternity"
I've said elsewhere more than once that they played a great second half (I was in the car and didn't see the first). But, as with the Duke game as a notable example, we failed to close by having a very poorly-managed OT that seemed devoid of a coherent strategy to score.
I've also said I was really impressed with the guys that stepped up in the second half, including some great stuff from Q, and some good looks from Amir getting inside and putting the ball in the bucket. And of course Craft continues to make a case for National Defensive POY consideration.
I'm not one of the "Matta haters;" in fact, I've written not once, but twice about his amazing stat sheet in the first eight seasons at Ohio State.
I am not, however, drinking the Titus kool-aid (as Hodge so brilliantly put it) on this one, as I do not think in any conceivable reality that we are a Final Four team. We've seen Final Four teams in the past decade - more than once - and this, to me, doesn't look like one of them.
I agree with your point to an extent. Right now, no, they don't look like Final Four team at all. They still have a lot of question marks and still need consistent play from game to game from some of those players you mentioned. Until we see it, their ceiling very well may be Sweet Sixteen.
Where I tend to veer off in completely agreeing with you is that I believe, and said multiple times at the beginning of the year, that as this team grows and gets clicking, it can become a special team as the talent is there and there aren't many teams that can match our overall athleticism. At this point last year, even with all the talent that we had, we weren't clicking and after the loss to UM, I had doubts that we would even be a #4 seed. We were playing awful and it showed game in and game out. Then right around the end of the year and through the B1G tournament, things came together and they were able ride that to a Final Four appearance.
I don't know if they can do what they did last year again, but what I saw from them on Tuesday night was, at the very least, a step in that direction. If they can put a few more games together and gain some confidence in these young sophomores, then things will start looking much better.
At least we know that the season isn't all for naught if we come across stumbling blocks. The real season starts in March. Until then, let's use playing against the best competition in the country as a way to get some things figured out because come tournament time, that will only help us.
I agree we're a good team, and I agree we have one of the better defenses in the country. The Titus scenario presupposes a lot of "ifs/thens" that I have trouble seeing. If it comes together, I'll be the first guy to drink a toast to Matta, but I'm just not sold that out of all the great teams he's assembled, that this one will finally be the one to get him a ring.
We can all agree, of course, that Thomas is a stud, Craft is the best on-ball defender in the universe, and that we love to see Slam Thompson put on a show, right?
True; however, college basketball is almost meaningless until tournament play (conference or NCAA). Think about the teams they have faced this year already, but their losses in particular.
@Duke (top 5 team) - won the first 35 minutes of play, couldn't finish
@Michigan (top 5 team) - they shot the lights out in a revenge game and OSU took them to OT
@MSU (top 10/15 team) - lost in a tough environment on a "buzzer beater" (LOL)
Kansas (top 5 team) - played the WORST game of offense I've ever seen and weren't out of it until a few minutes left
All it takes is one tough break to go their way during tourney time. I'm not saying they're the favorites, but when college basketball is down and you've already played the best of the best, it's not like seeding will matter too much come tourney time.
Don't give up... Don't ever give up.
They did play a great game. And despite some mistakes (and a couple bad foul - or no foul, as it were - calls) at the end, we might have won.
This team has the best D in the country, quite arguably.
However, we match up real well wiht scUM. They aren't that big down low, and our D's strength is on the perimeter. I fear that Indiana who obviously IS good down low may have its way with us. We'll know soon.
Either way, they are gradually gettting better and hopefully will peak in March. Go Bucks!
I know how it feels to be one shot away from winning and the bad taste of losing close tastes. And I know how it feels the whole game came to the final play, when it actually doesn't.
A lot of people have mentioned how OSU only scored 2 points in OT...Michigan only scored 4, and 3 of them was on the first possession. Michigan had 6 or 7 chances to put the game away and failed to do so. GRIII couldn't even make consecutive free throws to give Michigan a 3 point lead. What no one mentions is that Jordan Morgan, the most experienced player on the team and best defensive threat down low only played 4 min due to injury.
Anyway, beat the Hoosiers!
Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!
~Bo Schembechler
I'd say McGary did more than his share of winning the game for UM. In fact, I'd say he may be reason #2 why they won, right behind Hardaway. McGary had several critical putbacks in the first half, and actually played much better hedging the ball-screens Ohio State was running than I've ever seen Morgan do.
McGary is going to be a player in the B1G. I was very impressed with him against IU, and even more so against OSU.
"What we do in life echoes in eternity"
This one was for sure clean, and a nice play. I wish Craft would have taken this one all the way in , and tried to draw the foul here.
SIDENOTE: Those jerseys seriously look like someone just pissed all over them. Does anyone at TTUN actually like those things? I know they're your jerseys, but those can't be appealing to anyone... can they?
Don't give up... Don't ever give up.
It seems too many people are overestimating the impact of Jordan Morgan. He's averaging 5 ppg and 4 rpg, WORSE than his freshman season. Amir has better numbers! There's no way you can argue he's better than McGary, anyway.
He would've had minimal impact. So, I don't think anyone can actually say it would have been different with him or anyone is "forgetting" his impact. Maybe Amir doesn't get fouled one time and go to the line, but that's about it. He's average, at best.
And I'm guessing you don't watch every Michigan basketball game and are basing your opinion on stats. He's not a good offensive big; I didn't say that. And if I had to pick between him and Mitch, I take Mitch any day. The impact is more a product of experience. He's the best defensive big that Michigan has. It's the intangibles that don't show up in the stat lines like being in position, knowing when to make that extra pass instead of going up for a contested shot, and getting a body on someone.
Regarding McGary: He's such a high-motor guy that he needs rest a little more than most. Michigan is best when they can rotate between all 3 guys, freely.
Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!

Still in the topic of departures, guitarist Roger Sjunnesson is no longer a member of Swedish metallers Sonic Syndicate. He was one of the founders of the band and the main composer.
His official and lengthy statement reads as follows: "Dear Sonic fans and fellow Musicians, I'm no longer a member of the band I founded with my brother Richard ten years ago. A couple of weeks ago Sonic Syndicate distributed a press release stating "Last year we parted ways with two band members", and I think this ambiguity requires some clarification. The first member they are alluding is of course Richard who left Sonic Syndicate in October 2010, and the second is – as some of you already figured out – me. However it should be noted I was in the band well into this year and that's it. I will not go into any details. All I can say is that I never wanted this split to happen, and I did my very best to find an equitable solution. I have been in this band since day 1, written many great songs on all Sonic's albums that I am proud of, toured the world and met fans and every band I grew up listening to. This is nothing you give up easily and it feels strange to not be a part of this band anymore. But this is the last word and it's time to move forward."

Guitarist Matti Svatizky has parted ways with Middle East-based metallers ORPHANED LAND. His statement reads as follows:
"To all of Orphaned Land's fans, from this moment on I will no longer be a part of the band. We had great years together and I think that our achievements were beyond only the musical grounds. However, it is time for me to move on with my life. There are issues both on the personal and the professional levels that made me come to this decision, which has not been an easy one, and which I'm whole with and sure that will bring many positive things in the future.

On Elway's list: 'More quarterbacks'

08:03 AM ET 01.31 | How sold on Tim Tebow is Denver? After the Broncos completed their 2011 season, they did two things at quarterback: They named [Tebow] the starter heading into training camp this summer, and they posted a "help wanted" sign to fill the depth chart behind Tebow. "We will be in the market to find more quarterbacks," said John Elway, the Broncos' executive vice president of football operations. "That's our approach with Tim being our starter as we go to training camp, that we'll look at free agency and the draft." The Senior Bowl's practices and North-South game in Mobile last week offered a great opportunity for NFL teams to evaluate draft-eligible quarterbacks not named Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III.

Hmm.....Trying to find a QB to step in for Tebow when he's benched and thrown out of Denver next year? I can dig it.......
Total Comments (5105)
This jibes with what Elway has already said: Tebow goes into camp as the starter but will have to compete for the job. It's nice to get a refresher, though. Can't let a day or two slip by without a Tebow-related story.
John Elway is taking a real chance here: he could be charged with identity theft of Jon Gruden.

Tebow will not be the starting QB for the entire year in 2012.
Wanting to have a viable exit strategy doesn't make him a QB hoarder (as in a Gruden). I think Elway just realizes the chances for success in fixing his ridiculously long, sidearm delivery are slim. You'd kill to have Tebow's desire and heart with the physical skill of a Rodgers but alas here we sit... I suspect the revolving door at QB will spin a few more years at Mile High.
Tebow should be worried but shouldn't be surprised.
This season clearly showed teams they need to have a quality backup or two. Ask the Bears how important that is.

Move Tebow to Tight End, get a QB that is good at passing.

I don't think he'll make it to the first game. By then Denver will have a real QB.
