On Feb. 17, the largest climate-centered rally in U.S. history took place on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
Approximately 40,000 people, including more than 40 Hokies, participated in the rally that was held after a march to the White House.
Activists took part in this event in order to urge President Obama to take action against climate change. The Sierra Club, 350.org and the Hip Hop Caucus, which are all working to help the country transition to renewable energy sources by promoting laws to limit greenhouse gas emissions, organized the rally.
"The overall theme (of the event) was to urge President Obama forward on the climate change issue and have him follow through on a lot of what he talked about in his inaugural speeches," said the SGA's sustainability director, Drew Gallagher.
Speakers at the rally included Sierra Club Executive Director, Michael Brune, along with U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, and many other leaders interested in the cause.
"I found the speakers before the march to be especially moving," said Sam Welborn, a freshman chemical engineering and chemistry major who attended the event.
According to Gallagher, over half of the Virginia Tech students who traveled with him to D.C. were freshmen and sophomores from many different interest groups on campus.
Many attendees, such as Welborn and freshman architecture major Nevin Ounpuu-Adams, are members of the Environmental Coalition, which works toward a sustainable future at the local, state and national levels.
"I believe that combating climate change is the most important issue facing our generation; it is a matter of social justice, ensuring long term economic stability and preserving our Earth as we know it today," Ounpuu-Adams said.
The environmental awareness event was given a head start last week when several leaders and activists chained themselves to White House gates, including Brune. This proved to be the first act of civil disobedience committed by the Sierra Club in 120 years of public lobbying.
The issue at the forefront of the event was the Keystone XL pipeline disagreement. This export pipeline is at the height of controversy because its 1,700-mile route could cost the country millions of dollars, as well as harm the environment through which it runs.
"It's a lightning rod issue for the event," explained Gallagher. "This is where people interested in climate change draw the line."
Last year, a group of about 15,000 activists gathered to speak to Obama about the same issue, which ended up delaying the Keystone XL pipeline's creation.
"The Keystone Pipeline is the worst thing that could happen to the environment," Welborn said.
Sixteen other states held smaller corresponding rallies across the country this past weekend to raise local awareness of this issue.
"We have the power to take a stand for something we feel is important and show our government what it needs to do to serve its people," Ounpuu-Adams said. "It gives me hope for the greater climate movement and motivates me to continue working hard for it."

On July 8, the ARRL filed a "Citation of Additional Authority" with the FCC to bolster its claims of BPL harmful interference to amateur radio and other services as noted in its already-filed Petition for Reconsideration. #Here is the link to the filing: ARRL's FCC Filling
The League included, in the submittal, the results of BPL field testing from the British OFCOM organization, Britain's equivalent to our FCC. #Interpretation of OFCOM's findings included that BPL notching would be ineffective, and that it would seriously interfere with shortwave broadcasting. #Also, OFCOM concluded that a signal decay standard requirement of 20dB per decade with distance would be appropriate to reasonably reduce the likelihood of interference from ABPL systems. # Not the 40dB as presently specified by the FCC.
Also, the Commission was called on the carpet', as it were, with respect to their own words in the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) proceeding, Second Report and Order and Second Memorandum Opinion and Order, FCC 04-285, in ET Docket 98-153, in which the Commission responded to an assertion from Cingular, Inc., that all RF-emitting devices must be licensed under Section 301 of the Communications Act. #Interestingly, the FCC stated, in effect, a reasonable (sic) reading of Section 301, consistent with Congress' intent and subsequent legislation, would limit the licensing requirement to "any apparatus which transmits enough energy to have a significant potential for causing harmful interference." (Id, pragraph 68).
So, essentially, given that it is an accepted and proven fact that BPL will radiate and will interfere, BPL cannot be permitted to be deployed at the emission limits, as now proposed, as an unlicensed service. #To do so, would be inconsistent with the Commission's stated policy and interpretation of the meaning of Section 301 of the Communications Act in the UWB proceeding.
Sure sounds as though the recent blather over who will keep the BPL database is of little importance, when compared to the ARRL bulletin. #Or, more aptly described, ARRL SILVER BULLET.

Like the media's treatment of most high-profile deaths, Roger Ebert "lost" his battle with cancer. In a provocative article, Michael Wosnick rejects this common metaphor, suggesting that even though Ebert died, he did not lose. If one has to have winners and losers in disease processes, a principle to which Wosnick objects, then Ebert actually WON–not because he persistently evaded death but because he so-clearly embraced life, even while dying. This is important food for thought and reminds us to take care in the metaphors we all use.

Ned Cuthbert
From BR Bullpen
Edgar Edward Cuthbert
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 5' 6", Weight 140 lb.
- Debut May 20, 1871
- Final Game September 4, 1884
- Born June 20, 1845 in Philadelphia, PA USA
- Died February 6, 1905 in St. Louis, MO USA
[edit] Biographical Information
"Ned Cuthbert . . . was a great outfielder, a first-class base runner and a good hitter and thrower . . . but Ned was of a dissipating nature and saw too many 'blue skies'." - Tim Murnane, reminiscing about players of old, in Sporting Life of March 23, 1886
Edgar "Ned" Cuthbert is credited with being the first player to slide into a base. Cuthbert became a member of the first St. Louis Browns team in the winter of 1874. A left fielder and professional player since 1865, he had joined the Athletics in 1867 and had been with the Philadelphia Keystones before that.
He led the league in steals in 1873 with 13, and from 1871-1875 placed 7th or better in that category. He batted .338 in 1872 with the Philadelphia Athletics, then of the National Association, which would remain his career high. He also was player-manager of the Brown Stockings (St Louis Browns) in 1882, finishing 37-43 and in 5th place.
He ran for office (apparently state legislature) in 1888.

BILLINGS - The U.S. Department of Transportation is proposing a $1.7 million fine against ExxonMobil Pipeline Company as a result of the July 2011 crude oil pipeline failure in the Yellowstone River near Laurel.
The announcement was made late today by Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
The investigation alleges Exxon failed to properly address seasonal flooding risks, and alleges that the company knew the pipeline could erode due to excessive river scouring.
The investigation also alleges the company could have reduced the size of the 63-thousand gallon spill by closing a valve at the time of the incident.
The pipeline rupture caused over 70 miles of shoreline to be affected killed wildlife and fish and prompted a long cleanup.
Exxon spent over $130 million in cleanup and repair work.

Like a broken sidewalk, or the cloying odor of a backyard garbage dump, the large map at city hall vividly shows how the quality of life in some city neighborhoods is leaking away.
The question is whether this map, which plots the location of nearly a year's worth of nuisance complaints, and incidents of bad housing, blight and lawlessness, also suggests a path to stability. City officials are hoping so.
Influenced by statistics-driven management tools used in New York City,
Baltimore and a few dozen other cities, Hartford officials are seeking
to dramatically improve the way city hall responds to neighborhood
The idea is to track complaints and create a priority system that consistently targets the worst areas with the most resources. But what if the list is so long that it outstrips Hartford's budget-strapped agencies? Are we then back where we started? If Mayor Pedro E. Segarra were to lose in November, would the next administration embrace the data-driven management approach, the computer software that can measure the performance of city staff members, the monthly analysis meetings?
These are some of the unknowns as the city embarks on HARTSTAT, its own version of New York's CompStat and Baltimore's CitiStat.
"There are always going to be problems that outstrip resources, and there is always a need to improve response,'' said David Panagore, Hartford's chief operating officer and lead development official. He was appointed in 2008 and was retained by Segarra after the mayor succeeded former Mayor Eddie A. Perez in the summer of 2010.
"It's not even about working harder. It's about working smarter,'' Panagore said. "It's letting the data drive the allocation of resources; it's working interdepartmentally -- police supporting housing code, supporting public works, supporting, health, supporting fire.''

Luka Magnotta Captured in Berlin!
by Karen Fish
Luka Magnotta has just been captured in Berlin, Germany.
In one of the most sensational murders in history Luka Magnotta aka Eric Newman his birth name videotaped the savage murder and dismemberment of his victim a visiting Chinese student.
The first question now is will Luka Magnotta consent to his extradition to Canada or will it take time to process him through the German courts?
Then will be Luka Magnotta's trial. Canada has no death penalty.
Then will come the trial. Will Luka Magnotta be convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years, or will he be found not guilty by reason of insanity? Recently Vince Li beheaded a man on a Greyhound Bus and now he is on escorted passes having made a great recovery say the doctors. Did Luka Magnotta outcrazy Vince Li to also beat the system? Luka Magnotta has a history of mental illness and bipolar disorder.
Then there is the question of motive. Recently there have been a spate of suicides from Gay bullying. Obviously a child being bullied for being Gay will be angry. Sometimes the anger is directed inwards resulting in suicide and other times the anger is directed outwards resulting in murder.
Interestingly Luka Magnotta is a white supremacist Nazi and he was just captured near Adolf Hitler's bunker in Berlin, Germany. Whatever you do, do not watch the video of Luka Magnotta's murder posted online; you will be scarred for life.

Longtime jewelry store owners retiring
Leslie's Jewelry owners Curt and Dana Hirsche are retiring at the end of the year and will be closing their doors. The Hirsches purchased the business from Curt's parents in 1988. Photo by Ruth Ellis | Leslie's Jewelry re-opened on Mother's Day in 1940 in a new building near Primo Deli. Leslie Mastolier originally opened the business at 700 Main Street, the store's current location, in 1930. Photo submitted |
Oct. 29, 2013— For 83 years, Leslie's Jewelry has been offering beautiful jewelry selections and other items for customers to select a lifelong, meaningful gift to celebrate any occasion.
But to some, if not a lot of peoples' disappointment, one of Susanville's most beloved business icons will be closing at the end of the year and owners Curt and Dana Hirsche will be retiring.
The Hirsches bought the business from Curt's parents when they retired in 1988. Curt, however, has worked in the business for 35 years and now, Dana Hirsche said it's time to retire and enjoy life.
People have expressed worry they are leaving Susanville, but Hirsche assures them they are staying in town and she will continue her work with the Susanville Symphony Society.
Hirsche said they are looking forward to doing some traveling and seeing their nine grandchildren.
During its many years of business, customers could go to Leslies' Jewelry and select that perfect engagement ring or choose a necklace or bracelet to mark a special occasion such as Mother's Day or a girl's sweet 16 birthday.
People can even find other gift items such as picture frames, baby gifts, desk sets and clocks.
Leslie Mastolier opened the store opened at its current location at 700 Main St. in 1930. He also sublet part of the facility, which was used as a tailor and dry cleaning business.
Wanting to own his own property, Mastolier then bought a piece of land and built a new store located a block up near Primo Deli. It opened on Mother's Day 1940.
In 1971, Curt's father, Leo, moved his family to the area so he could work at Leslie's as a watch repairman. He ended up buying the business from Leslie's brother-in-law and his wife in 1979.
After the Hirsches purchased the business, they moved it back to its original location in 2000.
Hirsche said, "We've survived snowstorms and street closures, recessions and dot.com bursts, all of these things that are negative for business and growth and we were able to prosper and grow during a lot of these times and support our family, support our community, give back to the community even during the hard times."
She attributes the store's survival to its diversity, treating people like they want to be treated and providing the best possible price while still maintaining a business, giving back to the community and employing people.
The Hirsches have worked with clients in creating jewelry from scratch or refurbishing older pieces. They also did prong work, jewelry repairs, replaced watch batteries and offered full-service engravings.
During their years in business, many of the customers have become like family.
"We're really lucky that our customers have become our friends and part of our family …" Hirsche said.
"The hardest part about retiring will be us missing those relationships on a daily basis."
Working in a jewelry store is a "very pleasant business to work in," said Hirsche.
"It's personally satisfying to help the customer find that really perfect gift for their loved one because jewelry is way more sentimental than some people give it credit for being," she said. "There's nothing more rewarding than finding that piece that their loved one absolutely goes crazy over. That, to me, about this store, is knowing our customers well enough to know what piece will be perfect for them."

We are so sorry for the loss of your dad. He was a great guy and was so proud of you. In the times we spoke in person and on Facebook, he bragged about you alot. I'll miss his jokes about the Flyers and Pens and our conversations about 70s music. God knows how he put up with you and Jarred during those crazy days, but I knew he was a good man and watched over you guys. Just as he is now. I am very proud of what you have become and I know he is too.

That message is due to a setting in the forum software which tries to protect the forum and server from excessive loads. Basically, once the number of users on the forum (and therefore the load on the server) increases beyond a certain limit, further users trying to access the forum are shown that message. Users already on the site will not see that message. This allows as many users as possible to have uninterrupted access the forum. Without this protection, if the load goes beyond a certain limit then the entire forum and site would crash, spoiling it for everyone.
This is what the forum software's help says:
I previously had this setting set to 8. I've just changed it to 10, which should prevent this message from being shown so frequently. However, please note that the higher the load on the server, the slower the forum will be...On certain *NIX setups, including Linux, vBulletin can read the server's load as reported by the operating system. vBulletin can then use this information turn away users if the server load passes this threshold. Load on *NIX systems is measured in numbers. Usually load should stay below 1, however spikes can occasionally occur, so you should not set this number too low. A setting of 5 to 7 would be a reasonable threshold.
I'll obviously be looking into better and longer-term solutions with Tdol, but in the meantime please accept our apologies and trust that we will be doing all we can to resolve these issues as soon as possible.

Heh, I meant that people who have logged in before the server gets to a high load level should be able to continue using the site. New users trying to log in after the server has already exceeded the load limit will see this message.

Thanks for information..I was thinking that I was the only one who had this problem..
Thanks euncu for help...

Hi, Red - had an hour off yesterday around 6.30pm, and at least an hour today around 3.30pm [At which point I went and watched mindless telly as a relief!]. It certainly hasn't gone away.
Does being logged onto the forum without using it slow it down?
With the spread of broadband, it's possible for more people to stay logged on to this site 24/7 - if that is their wont.
Or is it only activity on the site that causes the delays?
Just letting you know that I'm still working on these issues with our server administrators and that I haven't forgotten the troubles people are facing at this time.
Initially we'll be investing in additional hardware to increase our memory capacity, and will be instructing our hosts to perform additional tweaks as required.
More updates to follow...
No.Does being logged onto the forum without using it slow it down?
Webmaster, UsingEnglish.com
That happens to me too!. Even refreshing the page doesn't help sometimes.
I get this message quite often too. What's more, the forums sometimes slow down very much for me. Everything seems fine, I click something and it gets stuck. Most of the times, firefox simply refuses to wait any longer and displays an error message.
Hi, we are aware of the issues and as mentioned previously we are taking steps to address the speed problems and the restricted access to the forum.
Initially we thought that we would only need to increase the memory on the server, but it actually makes more sense to perform a complete server upgrade. We are currently finalising the server specification with our hosts and will keep you all informed of any progress.

Type of Document Thesis Author Kent, Richie URN etd-03272007-175620 Title Contextualizing the FCAT in Florida: A Spatial Investigation of Neo-Liberal Educational Reform Degree Master of Science Department Geography, Department of Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Barney Warf Committee Chair Jan Kodras Committee Member Jonathan Leib Committee Member Mark Horner Committee Member Keywords
- Florida
- Neo-Liberalism
- Education
- Standardized Testing
- Geography
- Inequality
Date of Defense 2007-01-26 Availability unrestricted Abstract The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) is part of an educational reform strategy that initiates competition and market forces among public schools in Florida. Students take a standardized test and their scores are aggregated at the school level, which is intended to be a normative measurement of the average "quantity" of education that a school imparts to its students. The school grades are then tied to a punitive system designed to create increased incentives for teachers and administrators to provide a more rigorous education to students. The school grades do not however, consider the impact of local demographics and socio-economics on FCAT scores. I theorize that the educational attainment measured by the FCAT is affected by the daily webs of interaction that extend beyond the school doors and official education. By situating public education in Florida within the historical evolution of spatial inequality of public education, it suggests the potential impacts of the topological relief in the geography of education today. I performed empirical analyses, including correlations and regressions between FCAT school grades and socio-economic variables. The results show that FCAT school grades are significantly influenced by the socio-economic standing of the students of a school. This geographic contextualization problematizes the neo-liberal economic assumption that the FCAT is founded upon. The ignorance of social, political and economic inequality, which is reflected through the public education system, results in the failure of the FCAT to be an effective reform for the improvement of public education in Florida.

sadmenu is a program (heavily based on mostly Marcan's advice and code) that loads the System Menu, but patches it in memory to use "zcon.bin", "zanner.bin", and "zound.bin" instead of the normal versions. Therefore, when you load it, all the banners will be black. Just press "reset" to go back to the normal System Menu.
It should be possible to edit the U8 to add extra files with the appropriate names. In that way, you could test a new banner without fear of bricking! Although, I haven't actually tested that (because, my laptop defunct, I can't even use wiifuse properly)... for one thing, make sure your U8 is good.
This is also useful if you have any other pressing reason to patch the System Menu.

Vist our Online StoreCan THD hurt your speakers? or is it just a sound quality measurement? Whats a good precentage? Thanks
No, it in and of itself does no harm.
The human ear cannot discern less the one half of a percent (.5).
Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.
WEll, as I understand it, kinda. A little is inescapable but too much distortion will definitely do damage. It's kinda like eating dirt. There is dust and dirt and bug parts and dead skin everywhere around us it wont hurt you. It is in stuff you eat all the time but you dont even notice it. But you definitely shouldnt go out and eat a bunch of it, same with distortion.
You cant escape a certain amount of THD and any reasonable AVR or amp should be such that you dont even notice it. Providing you dont play youre music too loud with poor quality or not enough power (which increases distortion) you should be fine. anything under .5% is fine.

Do you even know what harmonic distortion is? Is has nothing to do with hiss, hum, static, or an amp clipping - not sure which you are eluding to - but induced harmonics do not, and cannot cause damage, in and of themselves.
Replace your "(which increases distortion)" statement with "(which increases the likelihood of your amp clipping)", and you've got a valid statement. Not on topic granted, but a good piece of advice nontheless.
Dirt and bug parts? Where the F do you guys come up with this crap?
Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.
No it can't hurt your speakers. Other types of distortion are what do the damage. THD is explained in the following excerpt. It always, for lack of a better term, tags along with the audio signal. No mention of dirt :D
Total Harmonic Distortion. A measure of the distortion content of a signal as represented by equivalent harmonics of that signal and specified as a percentage of the signal amplitude. While the equivalent harmonics represented do not actually exist in the signal, their summation would reproduce the distortion component of the signal. Further, filter separation of the signal into its fundamental and harmonic frequencies yields the harmonics for identification and measurement comparison with the fundamental.
Total Harmonic Distortion. For a signal, the ratio of the sum of the powers of all harmonic frequencies above the fundamental frequency to the power of the fundamental frequency.
Total Harmonic Distortion. the ratio of the fundamental frequency to it's harmonic.
Abbreviation for total harmonic distortion.
Total harmonic distortion. A measurement of the total of all the harmonics introduced by nonlinear (uneven levels of) distortion in a device. This measurement is indicated as a percentage of the strength of the fundamental (lowest level).
Total harmonic distortion. An audio measurement specification used to determine the accuracy with which a device can reproduce an input signal at its output. THD describes the cumulative level of the harmonic overtones that the device being tested adds to an input sine wave. THD+n is a specification that includes both harmonic distortion of the sine wave and nonharmonic noise.
total harmonic distortion
An abbreviation for Total Harmonic Distortion.
Total Harmonic Distortion - The ratio of the total rms signal due to harmonic distor-tion to the overall rms signal, in dB or percent.
Total Harmonic Distortion. A component specification which describes its ability to accurately reproduce a signal. Although lower numbers are considered to be better, the human ear typically cannot detect THD ratings below 2% or 3%.3
Total Harmonic Distortion Audio signals suffer some distortion as they pass through electronic circuits. The amount of distortion can be measured expressed as a percentage. Power levels should always be referenced to a specific distortion figure. The lower the figure the better. Look for something like "50W RMS at 0.1% distortion".
Abbreviation for total harmonic distortion. (See Distortion.)
Total harmonic distortion which is a measure of the sum of all the harmonics produced by an active component due to its nonlinearity expressed as a percentage of the fundamental signal.
Doctor of Theology **doesn't pertain to audio :D
Total Harmonic Distortion
The percentage of an audio output signal that consists of spurious harmonic, or multiples of the fundamental frequencies. These harmonics are introduced by a power amplifier or other components through which the signal passes; lower figures are better.
"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass

Polystar's real-time Network Analytics tools help network operators to harness the value of Big Data and successfully monetise their data assets.Polystar's solutions enable network operators to collect, manage and visualise vast amountsof unstructured data and provide the best possiblecustomer experience to their subscribers.
Having theright Big Data strategy in place becomes vital for network operators not only to run their operation better, but also to find new ways to drive revenues and grow their business. According to recent industry research, around 70 per cent of communications service providers hasalready established a strategy for Big Data analytics or see the necessity to do so in the coming months.
Polystar already has the solution in place that helps network operators to address this market challenge. It delivers turnkey, end-to-end solutions from data capture to business analytics that gives immediate value to company executives, operation and marketing representatives. Using thedata-gathering and real-time monitoring functionality of OSIX, along with the visualisation technologies of Jupiter, Polystar allows operators to gain a better understanding of the information goldmine and enables CSPs to discover new service delivery offerings. By analysing unstructured data coming from the network, Polystar'sanalytics tools grant a comprehensive view on the subscribers' activities and behaviour patterns, provide precise information on subscribers' location, devices and services they are using and pinpoint root cause for deeper investigation. In order to gain a competitive edge, data scientists and marketers need to fully exploit real-time network data and use it to provide value-added customised services to their end-customers. Finding and fixing issues more promptly leads to higher call quality, more profitable service and in the end, increased customer satisfaction and reduced churn. The real time view also helps operators optimise the usage of their network, which translates into substantial savings, as the network is a very valuable and expensive asset and its optimisation means millions of dollars in savings.
Big Data analytics tools enable network operators to move from a reactive to the more proactive use of the data, turning this into actionable business intelligence. Proactive network analysis allows companies to predict problems and correct them before they impact the end-customers. Improving the customer's experience and service level is absolutely necessary to differentiate yourself in a fierce competitive environment.
Polystar solutions can also feed other systems and be a source of enriched data for third-party solutions or home-grown applications.

ahh, don't use software that draws to opengl
Dell Inspiron zino HD 410 (phenom x3 @ 2.1GHz, ATI 5450). Ubuntu 12.04 with xorg-edgers PPA (kernel 3.5, some radeon git from june ...).
In windows with crystalhd + ati my CPU load is less than 10%.
In Linux it's about 70%. If I use fglrx it's much lower but the problems outweigh the benefits there, since it consistently panics the kernel on shutdown.
Now I do believe that, since xbmc draws via OpenGL, most of that load comes from simply drawing to the screen.
Any ideas? Or is it just that slow?
ahh, don't use software that draws to opengl
xbmc is a bit of a hog. You may notice that CPU usage is high and the UI is sluggish, even when not decoding video.
There are crystalhd patches available for xine, and also crystalhd plugin for totem.

The works Chevrolet team has welcomed the move by Le Mans organiser the ACO to expand the Intercontinental Cup.
The ACO announced earlier today it would increase the number of Intercontinental rounds from three in 2010 to seven next year. The 2011 season will take in the American Le Mans Series' Sebring 12 Hours and Petit Le Mans, Le Mans Series races at Spa and Silverstone, the Le Mans 24 Hours (which scores double points), and Asian events at Fuji and Zhuhai.
Corvette programme manager Doug Fehan said: "It's an interesting and powerful base on which to build a series. Chevrolet and Corvette are global brands and we will examine it closely to make a decision. It has to make commercial sense."
Fehan also confirmed that the strength of GT2, and the dropping of GT1 at Le Mans, could help encourage Chevrolet and other marques to commit to a programme.
"We moved from GT1 to GT2 because it became apparent that to compete against the best manufacturers in the world we had to be in GT2," he said. "I think we and other manufacturers are united on the fact that a single GT class makes the most sense for everyone."

Two men charged in 'smash and grab' robberyFormal charges have been filed against two Wichita men suspected in the Jan. 12 "smash-and-grab" burglary at R. Westphal Jewelers on Main Street in downtown Hutchinson.
Derrick D. Glover, 38, and Kenya D. Breakfield, 34, are each charged with non-residential burglary, criminal damage to property and theft. Both are being held in the Reno County jail on $50,000 bonds. A third suspect in the burglary hasn't been charged yet but is jailed in an unrelated case. The theft charges against Glover and Breakfield are misdemeanors, alleging they stole less than $1,000 worth of jewelry from Westphal Jewelers, 120 N. Main. The break-in at the store lasted just 19 seconds. Three men dressed in dark clothing with white bandanas over their faces crashed a stolen 1999 Nissan Maxima into the storefront and used what appeared to be hammers or tire irons to break display cases.

Over the weekend we made home made mac & cheese. I generally don't eat carbs, but will make exceptions (you'd have to be a zombie to skip out on this stuff). There were left overs and I had some for breakfast. I'm in my office reading and Kaiser is sitting staring and making a mess with the drool. There was a little left and I figured 'why not?' he's been good.
He likes mac & cheese. He really likes mac & cheese. Actually to be precise: he likes whatever I'm eating. Today I had some left over chicken for lunch. He's sitting by me making a huge fuss. You would think I starved him and deprived him given the amount of whining and crying coming out of him. Back and forth from one side to the other. Whine whine whine squeal. What a big baby! You would think given the amount of stuff I've read and the amount of research I've invested in to training over the past few months I'd know better....not really. Am I going to do anything about this? Not really. The only issue is that he must not actively try to take food from others. When we first got him he took a slice of pizza from my wife as she was eating it! That is a definitely 'nope, not in this house' behavior. The whining stuff...I can tolerate it by ignoring it. The boxers already have it figured out. They know that if there is something yummy left over they'll get a taste. They just sit patiently in the background waiting. Kaiser will learn too. |

We always say "all good things come to puppy dogs that wait". My husband is the worst, my rule is nothing for critters until we are done. Last night I finished eating, got up then I looked and there was hubby giving the new kitten a taste of meatloaf.

I had to LOL at hubby feeding the new kitten. Our rule has always been dogs get nothing from the table. After we are done and not at the table some scraps can be given - rarely for Raina since she has food allergies, never at the table though. Pyrate was great at not begging. We started from when he was a puppy, not allowed in the kitchen while we eat but may lay at the door but must not look in. He would lay at the door and look the opposite direction until he heard us get up, then he would be ready to lick plates or whatever was offered. He never whined. I'm still working on that with Raina as she didn't get the same start he did on the whining rule since I got her a month later than Pyrate and she was never allowed free during meals. She guards toys and resources so would fight with Pyrate just enough to get whatever he had. I stopped that in the bud by not letting her in the kitchen at all.

None of my dogs beg at dinner, Kiya must lay at my feet just in case something might hit the ground. This kitty is hubby's and of course he thinks he's soooo cute, just as long as they don't teach MY dogs bad behavior!

While Hondo will not beg - he will lay flat out in your path so when you get up from table you will not forget he is there. Just in case you have scrap or two you'd like to share.

I've started working on wait and he's learning.
The other idea is to just start a new business: Begging Puppy Diet. I'll rent Kaiser out to people who need help with their diet. Every time they go to eat he'll start whining and squealing until you share with him. He's like the IRS and thinks you should give him half of whatever you're having. I'm pretty confident this would help people. |

The new National Prevention and Health Promotion Strategy recommends that communities "Adopt fun, enjoyable, high quality physical activity programs in youth-serving environments (schools, childcare and after-school programs) … that ensure adequate activity levels for all youth..." What I'm looking for is the best specific initiative to accomplish that. Building new soccer fields and hiring league officials and such is too expensive for most communities. Kids don't want to go to aerobics classes after school. They want to play. Having them play "tag" will probably not be sufficient, and that is too "childish" for teens. Kickball is not as much exercise as you might think, as most of the time is spent standing around.
The best thing I have found in 5 years of searching is a game called "Ultimate Challenge" and I've introduced it to mixed-age groups in Boy Scouts, church groups and to inner-city elementary schools, and they all love it. They run, and run and run (and laugh and shout) for usually an hour or more, and they are eager to play more. On a church campout, we set up the game (using a simple kit) in a grassy area, and a group that included elementary school kids, middle school kids, high school kids, college students and adults played for nearly two hours.
If you know anything even close to that good, suggest it here. And, if this sounds interesting, check out www.ultimatechallengekits.com to learn more and see it being played.
I'm working with communities like St. Clair County, IL where they are seeking to make this something that is done throughout their communities. We've developed a model to economically spread the game via many different organziations, service projects, etc. We're looking for other ways to replicate good ideas.

I would think you would have grounds for non-performance. Start with them with a complaint and see if they can rectify. If not, ratchet up to Fair Trading or TIO. Out of curiosity I just checked my connection up time. Last I looked it was over 1200 hours of continuous connection. But now it says 91 hours. I got a report saying there had been a reconnect a few days ago. That must have been it. I missed it happening. I've been with Internode since November and haven't looked back. Billing happens with a pay anybody arrangement from my account 2-3 days before billing. There have been a few DNS glitches, but that sorts itself out pretty quickly, which tells me their sysadmins are on the ball. Download performance is always at the high end, unlike my experience with TSN previously. Tons of overhead traffic for my needs for the price. So far, excellent!

Roseville girls' hockey coach Vic Brodt can do without preseason goal-setting.
He prefers waiting about four or five games before asking players to view their potential.
When they spoke in early December of winning a state title, Brodt listened and nodded.
"It's not very often you have a team that you feel can win the whole thing," Brodt said. "It's similar to my team in 2010."
Those Raiders beat Edina for a state title. They topped the Hornets again in Friday's Class 2A semifinal game at the Xcel Energy Center, a 4-1 victory sending them to Saturday's championship game.
The No. 2 seed Raiders (26-2-2) scored three goals within a two minute, 11 second span of the second and third periods to stun the Hornets.
Sarah Knowlton scored on the power play with one minute remaining in the second period, knocking in a rebound of Lee Stecklein's backhand shot.
The Raiders weren't finished. Kate Flug kept up her penchant for clutch goals, firing a puck over Hornets' goalie Maddie Dahl with 22 seconds remaining in the period.
"It was deflating to not get out because we had killed their 5-on-3," Edina coach Laura Slominski said. "Then they score another one and it's a huge momentum switch."
No. 3 seed Edina (19-5-6) hoped to reach the state title game for the third consecutive season. But Roseville's Jordan Capeti killed the Hornets' buzz early in the third period.
Brodt said Capeti boasts one of the hardest shots on the team. But no one expected her slapshot from about 95 feet away to go in. Dahl inadvertently deflected the puck under the crossbar one minute and 11 seconds into the final period.
"It was late in the shift, we were tired and needed to get it deep," said Capeti, who scored just once this season before Friday's game. "I wanted to jump on every one of my players. Unbelievable."
Goaltender Erika Allen made 18 saves as the Raiders ran their undefeated streak to 16 games.
The junior forward scored a back-breaker of a goal in the waning moments of the second period for Roseville. The goal electrified the Raiders and proved to be the game-winner when it was all said and done. Flug also tallied an empty-netter to seal the game in the third period. The two goals give her a total of 70 points on the season (48 goals, 22 assists).
2. Erika Allen, Roseville
Allen stopped 18 shots for the Raiders en-route to holding the powerful Hornets to just one goal. Edina averaged 3.35 goals per game during the regular season. Allen is having an absolutely astonishing season, sporting a 95.7 save percentage and only allowing 0.89 goals per game. Hot goaltenders can win championships, and Allen is a perfect candidate to lead the Raiders.
The junior forward logged tons of ice time and netted the first goal of the game. Knowlten's goal sparked the Roseville run that broke open a scoreless game. Knowlten's two points brings her season total to 13 (7 goals, 6 assists).

I'm excellent at hiding my fears and worries, most of the time anyway. I can put on an almost Oscar like performance in front of most people. I don't want to let my guard down and find that being happy is something I'm meant to portray otherwise I'll get the usual "What's up with you, you miserable MIA person?" or "Cheer up, it might never happen" so-called humorous remarks which actually make me upset. You see, I think that's the problem; people who are genuinely happy have no idea of what it's like on the other side of the side of the coin. They've never had to deal with the mental mind set of feeling empty, useless, emotionless, etc. They have no right to mock those of us who are suffering. I wake up in the morning and wonder why I am here, what my purpose is and whether I should be doing something more with my life but, I don't know what that is. The problem is that the more I think about it, the more stressed I get about where I am right now in my life.
Bolded that line.
you dumb ass. -_-

Yuup, and same goes for your actions cause you know that's exactly what you wanted at the time.
just because you have sex, doesn't make you a slut.
Just because you stand up for yourself, doesn't make you a bitch.
Just because you're confident, doesn't make you conceited.
Just because you're young, doesn't mean you can't fall in love.
So stop fucking judging.

Today, my friend told me an eye opening story. She told me about a close friend of hers that has done drugs (popping pills) and now is in a coma. She's brain dead due to a brain anerism and swelling of the right side of her brain. She's on life support.. And the doctors have come to a conclusion that there's nothing left they can do. She's an extremely successful and beautiful girl and her family, friends, love ones n' my friend is extremely hurt by this..
Hearing this tragic story, my friend told me she decided to tell me this because she knows how much friends I have that pop pills just like her friend did. My heart dropped at that point cos I can't even imagine losing a friend.. Especially to drugs. I know a lot of my friends do it and they seem like it's completely harmless. They get a kick out of it. And when they see their friends doing it, all they do is laugh at it. How could you laugh at that? You guys are slowly but surely killing yourselves.
Stop being so selfish because even though you act like drugs aren't affecting you, it affects those that love you. And don't think that just because you only do it once in awhile it isn't as bad because it is. You don't need drugs. It's just gonna eat away your brain, your body, your heart, n' your soul. I've seen soooo much people change for the worst all because of drugs. Don't wait until it's too late. Think about it.

For anyone who knows me i used to have like a really bad problem with alla this. &For those of you who used to look down on me because of this, and are now trying it, I'm not looking down on you, but I'm just hoping you guys make better decisions before its too late… =/ I'm worried but take care of yourselves.
