Blog Transfer
I am notoriously poor at keeping up with my blogging. I started a more personal blog a few years ago and instead of maintaining two blogs, I've decided to merge them. My other blog is jdandje.blogspot.com. Please look there for any further entries. Thank you!

T-shirt Quilt Day One
At first, I considered writing a step by step instruction for the quilt. Then I stopped drinking the overambitious Kool-Aid. While I have made quilts before (ten years ago), I am NO expert. Please refer to a quilting book as I am or taking a class before starting your own project. I will be posting pictures of my progress with short explanations.
So many t-shirts! It will be Aggietastic.
Wash them all before starting your project. It will help prevent shrinkage.
Good quilting tools are an investment...or at least that is what I have been telling myself to swallow the sticker shock.
My blocks at 15x15 and therefore will end up being 14.5x14.5 when I take the seam allowances into account.
I was a little sad cutting up the shirts.
One of thirty shirt squares
Yea the squares are cut!
I think the 15x15 squares turned out fairly well. I also cut out 7.5x7.5 squares for smaller logos or for some of the t-shirt's sleeves. I cut out eight of those squares and will turn those into two blocks. Next step, iron on the fabric stabilizers so the t-shirts will be less stretchy.
Dry Erase Weekly Calendar
With Thursday spelling wrong.... |
And Thursday corrected! |
- A collage picture frame. Target has a variety of this kind of framing.
- Scrapbook paper. I had a different kind of paper for each day but the combinations are endless.
- Scrapbook letters. You can also write the days of the week by hand; I bought letters because I have poor handwriting.
- Scissors
- A pencil or pen for outlining
- A dry erase marker
The project takes about half an hour. Customize it how ever you would like!
- Use the backing of the picture frame and trace on the backside of your scrapbook paper of choice.
- Cut it out.
- Now for the lettering. Each frame is a day of the week. If you are a perfectionist, you may want to measure the letters so they are centered. I just eyeballed it and adjusted as I needed to. As you can see on the picture, I had to place Thursday vertically instead of horizontally due to the length of the word.
- Place each piece of paper in the frame.
- Find a place in your home, hang it and you are done!
My dry erase picture frame has now found a place in my bedroom. My husband and I tend to forget each others schedules and I hope this will help! I love how it turned out....for the most part. I am very much fighting my perfectionist tendencies with the lettering. Anytime my perfectionist self comes out, I hold the project further away from my body and I usually feel better.
Currently I am working on a t-shirt quilt for my husband to enjoy on the ship. The plan is to have it done before he gets deployed this summer.

I love to create. My urge to "start a project" developed in middle school and has not lessened since. My work and school schedules wax and wane but I continue along with my projects. I usually have something in the works and dedicate my time when I have it to give.
Thus far I have made:
- ten lap quilts
- quilled snowflake ornaments
- wire star ornaments
- cross stitch ornaments
- one minor cross stitch project
- one major cross stitch project
- Thumbtack pumpkins
- a hollow book
These projects have been completed in chunks of time. Often I have to stop my projects for long periods of time or my focus turns elsewhere. For example, the major cross stitch project listed and shown above took me more than four years to complete and I completed all the ornaments during that time period.
After extensive time on pinterest and following other peoples how-to blogs, I realized that I can easily do the same thing. I love my projects and want to share them with others. I hope that I can inspire others to create. I will post my success and failures and want you, the reader, to learn from both.

Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) in T cell differentiation, maturation, and function
Trends in Immunology, Volume 30, Issue 12, 1 December 2009, Pages 592-602
Douglas C. Palmer and Nicholas P. Restifo
AbstractCytokines are key modulators of T cell biology, but their influence can be attenuated by suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS), a family of proteins consisting of eight members, SOCS1-7 and CIS. SOCS proteins regulate cytokine signals that control the polarization of CD4+ T cells into Th1, Th2, Th17, and T regulatory cell lineages, the maturation of CD8+ T cells from naïve to "stem-cell memory" (Tscm), central memory (Tcm), and effector memory (Tem) states, and the activation of these lymphocytes. Understanding how SOCS family members regulate T cell maturation, differentiation, and function might prove critical in improving adoptive immunotherapy for cancer and therapies aimed at treating autoimmune and infectious diseases.

Structure of the SOCS4-ElonginB/C Complex Reveals a Distinct SOCS Box Interface and the Molecular Basis for SOCS-Dependent EGFR Degradation
Structure, Volume 15, Issue 11, 13 November 2007, Pages 1493-1504
Alex N. Bullock, Maria C. Rodriguez, Judit É. Debreczeni, Zhou Songyang and Stefan Knapp
SummaryTyrosine kinase signaling is tightly controlled by negative feedback inhibitors including suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS). SOCS assemble as SH2 domain substrate recognition modules in ElonginB/C-cullin ubiquitin ligases. In accordance, SOCS4 reduces STAT3 signaling from EGFR through increased receptor degradation. Variable C-termini in SOCS4–SOCS7 exclude these family members from a SOCS2-type domain arrangement in which a strictly conserved C terminus determines domain packing. The structure of the SOCS4-ElonginC-ElonginB complex reveals a distinct SOCS structural class. The N-terminal ESS helix functionally replaces the CIS/SOCS1–SOCS3 family C terminus in a distinct SH2-SOCS box interface that facilitates further interdomain packing between the extended N- and C-terminal regions characteristic for this subfamily. Using peptide arrays and calorimetry the STAT3 site in EGFR (pY1092) was identified as a high affinity SOCS4 substrate (KD = 0.5 μM) revealing a mechanism for EGFR degradation. SOCS4 also bound JAK2 and KIT with low micromolar affinity, whereas SOCS2 was specific for GH-receptor.

SummarySuppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) are important regulators of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cytokine responses but their role in macrophage polarization is unknown. We have shown here that myeloid-restricted Socs3 deletion (Socs3Lyz2cre) resulted in resistance to LPS-induced endotoxic shock, whereas Socs2−/− mice were highly susceptible. We observed striking bias toward M2-like macrophages in Socs3Lyz2cre mice, whereas the M1-like population was enriched in Socs2−/− mice. Adoptive transfer experiments showed that responses to endotoxic shock and polymicrobial sepsis were transferable and macrophage dependent. Critically, this dichotomous response was associated with enhanced regulatory T (Treg) cell recruitment by Socs3Lyz2cre cells, whereas Treg cell recruitment was absent in the presence of Socs2−/− macrophages. In addition, altered polarization coincided with enhanced interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)-induced signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 (STAT1) activation in Socs2−/− macrophages and enhanced interleukin-4 (IL-4) plus IL-13-induced STAT6 phosphorylation in Socs3Lyz2cre macrophages. SOCS, therefore, are essential controllers of macrophage polarization, regulating inflammatory responses.

The suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) family comprises proteins induced on cytokine stimulation, which block further signalling in a classic feedback loop. They are thought to achieve this by targeting signalling intermediates for degradation. However, because any imbalance of these proteins can result in a broad range of pathologies, it is now clear that SOCS are also involved in determining cell fate and in regulating the inflammatory process. This occurs because each SOCS targets distinct signalling pathways, and their altered expression can cause diseases as diverse as inflammatory bowel disease, allergy, autoimmune diseases and diabetes. Determining the importance SOCS proteins in these human pathologies will no doubt aid the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Filtering the blood
The kidneys remove wastes and excess water (fluid) collected by, and carried in, the blood as it flows through the body.
About 190 liters (335 pints) of blood enter the kidneys every day via the renal arteries. Millions of tiny filters, called glomeruli, inside the kidneys separate wastes and water from the blood.
Most of these unwanted substances come from what we eat and drink. The kidneys automatically remove the right amount of salt and other minerals from the blood to leave just the quantities the body needs.
The cleansed blood returns to the heart and recirculates through the body.
Excess wastes and fluid leave the kidneys in the form of urine. Urine is stored in the bladder until it is full and then leaves the body via the urethra. Most people pass about 2 liters (4 pints) of urine every day.

Saturn's Sky offers bold styling that GM hopes can lure buyers away from the popular Mazda Miata and Honda S2000. The Red Line offer as much horsepower as any other two-seat convertible under $35,000, and produces enough punch to run with many roadsters that cost $10,000 more.
The Saturn Sky, new for 2007, has plenty of changes for 2008. With standard limited slip differential and StabiliTrak electronic stability control the 2008 Sky makes for an easier ride. For comfort and style the 08 Sky now comes with a standard driver's seat power height adjuster, CD player with speed compensated volume control, XM satellite radio and a leather wrapped steering wheel. For safety a tire pressure monitoring system is also standard on all 2008 Skys.
The Saturn Sky, which debuted for the 2007 model year, shares the same Kappa platform the Pontiac Solstice has been using for the past two years. Standard four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, air conditioning, cruise control, remote keyless entry, and the usual power accoutrements separate the Sky from the Solstice, as does an added layer to the cloth convertible top for more noise attenuation, and a revised suspension.

Butler's Pantry Offers Summer Entertaining Tips
Summer entertaining is all about freshness, simplicity and color. Butler's Pantry suggests using fresh, local ingredients especially at this time of year. Summer is full of bright colors; use these colors to your advantage. Finally, keep it simple and cool off with the perfect summer menu.
1. Executive Chef Greg Ziegenfuss suggests planning the meal around cold or room-temperature items paired with food fresh off the grill. This gives the host time to visit with the guests as the last-minute items are being prepared on the grill.
2. Sliced cucumbers with balsamic vinaigrette and parmesan cheese are an easy summer appetizer. The cool, crisp taste of cucumbers is perfect for a hot summer day. Ziegenfuss suggests preparing the vinaigrette a few days in advance and adding it to the cucumbers just before serving.
3. Decorate your serving table with a splash of color. Director of Visual Design, Brian Blasingame, suggests adding sliced fresh lemons to a clear, glass vase for additional decoration. Add bright flowers including roses, lilies, and Gerber daisies. Wrap the vase with twine for a simple, country-inspired feel.
4. An antique watering can is a great centerpiece for the buffet table. Arrange fresh-cut flowers in the watering can and set it out for all to see. The watering can is perfect for tall, colorful flowers, or beautiful, lush greenery.
5. Offer an infused summer spritzer. A summer spritzer is easy to make, try the recipe below from Chef Greg:
Sparkling Hibiscus Spritzer
1 hibiscus flower (available packed in syrup from specialty grocers and an occasional high end liquor store, or on-line)
2 oz. hibiscus syrup (use the syrup which the flowers are in)
1 oz. fresh lemon juice
6 oz. Perrier, or similar sparkling water.
Garnish with lemon twist.
Place syrup and lemon juice in a glass, top with ice and sparkling water. Garnish with the hibiscus flower and a twist of lemon. For an adult version, add 2 oz. of a flavored vodka such as a pomegranate vodka.
Entertaining this summer is simple with these quick tips and ideas.

The Digital Truth About The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
The Truth About CGI
Henry Turner is a writer and award-winning filmmaker, whose Lovecraft-inspired horror feature, Wilbur Whateley, won top awards at the Chicago International Film Festival. His writing on film has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Lecran Fantastique, Variety and many other publications. A longtime film festival executive, he has programmed for the Slamdance Film Festival, and currently heads FilmTraffick L.A.
In a time, when certain critics are raging against CGI as perhaps the death knell of live-action filmmaking, one has to look at the flipside of such paranoia and understand the liberating aspects of CGI, which forever frees filmmakers from cheap sets, cheap rear projection, inactive matte paintings and matte lines and, worst of all, bulky men in bulky monster suits, making believe that they are gnomes or dragons. Indeed, until the advent of CGI, visual effects certainly helped expand the concept of suspension of disbelief. But there are always Luddites (such as those anti-industrial revolution fanatics) who want to destroy modern technology. When film was new, the first critics wanted filmed theater, with actors visible from head to toe. Close ups were considered incomprehensible it was thought that audiences couldnt accept half an actor. But audiences learned to accept and enjoy many rapid innovations in the technological novelty that became an art form. Oddly enough, in the case of Lord of the Rings, the new technology is in service to a story that in many ways is anti-industrial itself, a story that conveys Tolkiens wartime trauma, with the Orcs and Saruman representing the encroachment of mechanization, and Frodo, Aragorn and Gandalf representing the pastoral peace of a vanishing era.

Neill Blomkamp Talks District 9
BD: What was it like for you directing a feature after Halo collapsed, but with Peter Jackson still very much behind you? NB: I mean, look, I had worked with Weta Workshop for five months doing Halo, so when that collapsed, Peter told me that he had been through this process before with a few projects that collapsed. I'll help you get another one going and Fran Walsh suggested the idea of taking the short and turning that into a feature, which sounded like a great idea, so I did that. BD: So it hadn't occurred to you before to turn Alive in Joburg into a feature? NB: Not then. Before Halo, it had occurred to me. For some reason, when he said, "Go and do another film and we'll set it up and you can just keep going," my mind started going in the direction of some other science fiction film. So I went straight into District 9 almost without thinking about Halo. And I've been directing that film for two-and-a-half years and now I'm at the end. BD: What was the experience like? NB: It's grueling: You've gotta have a lot of stamina, but it's rewarding: it's like climbing a mountain. Once you get to the top, you can see over it. BD: Crew members say it's always nice to have a visual effects expert at the helm who not only speaks the same language but can also clearly convey story and character. Was this your experience? NB: Yeah, it's probably easier to get the end result that you want because you speak the same language so you can get in there and provide a description of what you're looking for with greater accuracy. BD: What were some of your movie influences that helped inform District 9? NB: Well, there is no one film that I can say influenced District 9 on a conscious, surface level. It's a case of all of my favorite science fiction films blending together. You know, even videogames. And it was that nugget of science fiction that I placed in Johannesburg. I guess at the top of the list would be the first two Aliens, the Terminators, Predator and Robocop -- all the '80s hardcore, sci-fi/action films. And I don't know whether the film has that feeling or not for the audience, but I wanted it to have that harsh 1980s kind of vibe -- I didn't want it to feel glossy and slick.

Group for bicycle users who want the option to be able to ride helmet-less without fear of harassment and unfair penalties by the law.
Mandatory bicycle helmet laws are an unjustified attack on rights of bicycle users.

One small step forward NSW looks on track to elect the first LDP Senator ever.
The Liberal Democrats are opposed to the nanny State and mandatory bicycle helmet law will be on the menu at some stage I am sure about that and glad of it.
I had a call back from Palmer United Party's SA Contact person Andrew Graham whom I had contacted earlier this week to call to question on his initially stated policy of supporting mandatory bicycle helmet laws.
In conversation he was favourable to the idea and reasons for repealing mandatory helmet laws as a more progressive policy and more closely aligned with the party's ideals and promptly updated the page in question.
I directed him to the bicycle NSW page on helmet laws and suggested that that would be a better policy to take
t shows some common sense to do this and I wish him the best in the election. He will be getting my preferences BEFORE any of the Major partys, I and hope others will vote below the line and do likewise.
It should be stated this was only his personal initial take on the subject and the party being new had not developed any overall policy on this matter previously so hopefully it bodes well to get see this positive change.
Excerpt from the page now reads as follows >>>>
Cycling Research & Policy
- Advocate further research into the benefits of cycling and promote accordingly
- Research into the risks / hazards and use this to create more bike friendly communities and awareness
- Repeal mandatory helmet laws but continue to advocate and promote the wearing of helmets (that comply with Australian Standards).
Of course there is also the LDP - highly recommended who are running 2 candidates in SA and the Democrats if your in WA.
@wujim - why would you come here and gloat? stifling opinion is poor editorial
Even without MHL laws ,you can still choose to use a helmet or enforce your children to use one, its not like taking away helmets all together ,but not branding you a criminal if you ride without one.
helmets do have a place in cycling, maybe a under 18 law even?
MHL discussion gagged! - BAH!!
The only ones at any risk here would have been the extremist bicycle helmet law supporters having a heart attack after seeing Sir Richard Branson riding a bicycle without a helmet.
It's time to end this bullying law and restore freedom of choice.
"planners Emmerson Richardson and Kevan Weaver said despite more people turning to bike riding recently, the rate of cycling trips in Perth was still less than before helmets became compulsory in 1992."
Well since no one objects i changed settings so people can now join with no need to request.
Lets see how this goes for a while.
Time is running out to have your say on Melbourne Bike Share.
Hi All
I am thinking of changing the group setting so people can join and post without requiring admin approval. Admins are able to to delete spam messages if need be.
Let me know what you think - change the setting in a week's time if no objections.

Broncs 83, Bobcats 76
SAN MARCOS, TX -- Junior Ce'Monay Newell got UTPA (6-6) off to a strong start this afternoon with two three-point shots to take control of the contest. Ashley Ezah knocked down a couple of baskets for the Bobcats, but a shot from Donna Jackson and another from Adanna Opara gave the Broncs a 10-5 advantage. Ezah responded with another jumper, but three consecutive shots from downtown, one from Newell and two from Torre, for a 19-7 lead.
The Bobcats' Verinus Kalu and Diamond Ford both knocked down shots to keep Texas State in the game, but Torre was able to connect on several shots and helped the Broncs move ahead 30-18. India Johnson responded a layup for the Bobcats, but LaQuita Garner sunk a three to keep the Broncs ahead 33-20 with 10:04 left in the first half.
With only a few minutes left in the first half, Ford and Demi Clinch were able to connect several times for Texas State, but the Broncs still held the lead 46-45 at the half.
Torre nailed a three to open the second half of the game, but a jumper from Kelsey Krupa and a layup from Johnson tied the game at 49. Torre answered with another three, followed by a trey from Newell to put the Broncs up by six points, 55-49.
Texas State remained close to the Broncs, getting within one point of UTPA on several occasions, but with 7:45 left in the game, the Broncs were able to reach an eight point advantage, 68-60 on a jumper from Newell. Following shots from Opara and Jackson, a three from Newell helped the Broncs get ahead 77-66.
Ford and Krupa fought back for the Bobcats in the final minutes of the game, but Texas State was not able to escape the Broncs. UTPA won its second consecutive game 83-76.
In addition to Torre's career-high 34 points, the Broncs were led by Newell posted 22 points.
The Broncs will be back in action at home Tuesday when they host the Texas A & M-International Dust Devils. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. at the UTPA Fieldhouse.

Cellar/Tasting Notes An absolutely stunning nose of violets, creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, forest floor and subtle new oak burst from the glass. The wine has great fruit, superb texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel and an extravagantly rich, concentrated palate with low acidity and ripe tannin.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Jam-packed, with mouthfilling notes of blackberry preserves, crushed blueberry, plum skin and anise, showing loads of singed wood spice and briar for a lively texture. Stays supergrippy through the finish and needs a little time to round into form, but the range is serious and the length very..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Straight down the line, this wine shows fruit and acidity. The tannins are relatively soft while the fruit is forward. Blackberries, coffee and licorice notes all come together."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Another sleeper of the vintage, this blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc emerges from the limestone soils outside St.-Emilion. An inky/purple color is accompanied by stunningly flamboyant aromas of melted licorice, white chocolate, raspberries, and black currants. Full-bodied, layered,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes Lovely aromas already, with currants and blackberries. Full body, with very fine, yet dense tannins and a rich finish. Reserved and sophisticated. Noble tannins.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Midnight oil? Dense black purple to the rim, the 2009 Lascombes has enormous concentration, with loads of graphite, blackberry, and blueberry notes as well as hints of pen ink and truffle.

Re: What was the last movie you saw?
The Last Circus
I have been a fan of Alex de la Iglesia since catching his wildly original Accion Mutante on television in 1993 (yes our TV used to be that good!). Since then he has made a name for himself with outlandish and rather kooky films centred around violence and Catholicism.
The Last Circus starts during the Spanish Revolution where a Circus clown is enlisted to fight against the rebels. His son watches his father lose, get thrown in jail, then executed during a botched escape. It then moves on to 1972, and the young boy has grown up and joined a dysfunctional circus as a sad clown. He and the female trapeze artist start a relationship. Though her partner, the lead clown, is a violently jealous and sadistic man. Which leads to violent life changing events.
I enjoyed this film. It was irreverent, dark and amusing. But it just didn't really have the same sort of impact on me as Iglesia's previous efforts.

Cabbage Potato Onion and Smoked Sausage : Pour some oil in a big skillet, get it medium hot, add sliced cabbage first, then a couple sliced potatoes. Add chopped onion and cup of smoked sausage. Add a little water over everything, cover and cook about 35 minutes. A friend told me about this and it sure went over well with my family. We love it! Naomi
Chicken Taco Soup is easy. 1 can chili beans, 1 can black beans, 1 can corn, 2 cans Rotel, 12 oz bottle or can of beer (I just used water), 1 packet taco seasoning, 3 chicken breasts. Put everything in the slow cooker and cook about 6 hours on low. Take the chicken out, shred it and mix it back in. when heated through, serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips on top. Michelle
Rotisserie Chicken and Gravy . I run a home daycare and I have four of my own children, so on weeknights when I just don't have the time or patience to make dinner, I often run to the market for the rotisserie chicken already hot and cooked. I slice it up, put it on bread and pour some gravy on it. Or I toss it with a can of petite diced tomatoes and serve it up over rice. Elizabeth
I bet the ingredients in the smoked sausage dish could also be put in a baking dish and popped in the oven to cook. Casserole style. What are you serving up to your loved ones to keep them warm this winter? I'd love to hear from you and get your secrets.

Neighborhoods: Downtown Long Beach
Perfect Wedding! – I'm not one to write reviews, but I felt the need to do so after having such an incredible event at the Ebell Club. We had the Perfect Wedding thanks to the awesome staff! My husband found this place accidently while we were stopping by a friends house. We are both from Long Beach and hadn't ever heard of the Ebell Club. Wow! What an incredible venue! We couldn't have asked for a better event. Our friends are still talking about it! The beauty of the club is that it's unlike any wedding venue you've ever been to. It's not a banquet hall at a local hotel or the church rec room...it's so much more! You've got to see it to believe it! The staff at the Ebell Club treated Greg and I like we were part of their family! What impressed me the most about this venue is the attention to detail. I loved the romantic lighting! My photographer is still talking about how gorgeous my pictures came out due to the lighting in their brides room and courtyard. Apparently it's a photographers dream! The pictures on the website don't give this place justice! Go see it for yourself and tell them Greg and Erin sent you!

4B Cold-stunned fish are not fair game during a freeze
If you're planning to take advantage of the cold weather to sneak up on some extra fish, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has a warning for you: It could be illegal.
While a hard freeze can cause fish to congregate in deeper waters, where they're more prone to being caught, regulations allow TPWD to close those areas if biologists believe the weather will affect catches.
State law says, "When temperatures on the coast are predicted to fall below 32 degrees for three or more days, the TPWD executive director may close one or more of the (affected) sites for saltwater fishing until the threat from the freeze is over."
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists and game wardens are closely monitoring the potential for a saltwater freeze along the Texas coast this week. If the situation begins to look severe enough, the agency may close certain fishing areas to protect the resource.
"The high mortality that a freeze can cause may deplete fish stocks for years," said Robin Riechers, director of TPWD's Coastal Fisheries Division. "Protection of the surviving fish during the few days when they are especially vulnerable to capture would likely shorten the time period for overall recovery of coastal species, especially spotted sea trout."
Texas has about two million acres of bays and estuaries susceptible to freezes. There were three major freezes during the 1980s, including one in 1989 when the temperature at Brownsville dropped to 16 degrees and an estimated 11 million fish died.
Anglers and coastal residents can report any freeze related fish kills or large numbers of sluggish or cold-stunned fish by contacting TPWD's Upper Coast Regional Office at (281) 534-0100 or the Lower Coast Regional Office at (361) 729-2328.

I read that one of the convicts who killed UNC-Chapel Hill student body president Eve Carson in March 2008 was recently given a resentencing hearing in Orange County court because he was under the age of 18 (he was 17) at the time of the crime. This young man was originally given a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, but our justice system deems this to be too "harsh" a sentence, even suggesting that it is "cruel and unusual punishment."
The other convicted killer in this case, who was over the age of 18 at the time Eve Carson was murdered, received two life sentences without the possibility of parole.
At the time of her kidnapping, in which the two perpetrators raided her ATM account of hundreds of dollars, Eve Carson, according to court evidence, asked the two men to pray with her. Instead, they shot her down like a dog in the street, first with a .25-caliber pistol, then with a blast from a sawed-off 12-guage shotgun.
I am pleased that the judge in this hearing, in upholding the original sentence, gave Laurence Lovette the same consideration that he and his partner gave the brilliant, compassionate and beautiful Eve Carson on the night she was killed on a street in Chapel Hill - which is absolutely none.
There are indisputable facts concerning the sequester events occurring this year. Every department or agency that incurred sequester received an increase in money from the year before. Sequester only affected government sections that had budget increases. Since they already had more money to spend this year than they had last year, there was no reason for furloughs or reductions in service.
President Obama is pretending the sequester did something it did not do.
You should contact your federal representatives demanding that all furloughs be discontinued and services restored. You should also encourage the mayor of Fayetteville and the governor of North Carolina to petition Obama to discontinue any furloughs and curtailments of services that affect our city and state.

NUECES COUNTY - J. E. Brown Septic may not be the only company using a stretch of the Nueces River as a garbage dump. County officials say it's a common tale.

The best multiplayer game ever!
22-01-2004, 23:08
I must agree and i'm dissapointed that RARE couldn't take the series further because EA have made Bond game's since then and they have been very average.
If only EIDOS could get the licenses from EA, their game engine (from both Timesplitters 1&2) with the Bond theme would make an excellent hit.
23-01-2004, 06:11
Unreal. Tournament. 2. 0. 0. 3.
On a console, though, Goldeneye is the best 4-player FPS made.

Nothing beats Goldeneye's multiplayer. :cool:
Yeah, a classic. :) There was a slightly re-vamped version of it on Perfect Dark.

Timesplitter 2 4-player. Virus mode as monkey. Unbeatable.
26-01-2004, 00:32
to be totally honest in my opinion the best multiplayer game ever is super smash bros
that game with 3 mates is pure class
f*** mario-kart and goldeneye ;) :p
29-01-2004, 21:05
I have to agree that Smash bros is pure class but I also think that Goldeneye and Mazza Kart are quality games aswell. Not so keen on the new Mazza Kart though>

Agreed when it first came out on the N64 I loved it, Diddy Kong Racing is also a good mulitplayer game
Travis Bickle
24-02-2004, 23:05
I reckon micro machines on ps1 is class. But probably Goldeneye best but like you've said we've replaced this with timesplitters 2 for the next gen.
25-02-2004, 00:23
I still play my N64 a lot. The games on it are still amazing. Goldeneye is easily still the most fun four players can have on a games console. Hardly any shooters these days even come close. Rare are genius.
ISS98 is fantastic as well, probably only bettered by PES3. I got a bit too good at it, though. With Uzbekistan (the worst team in the game), I beat Brazil (the best), on 5-star, 6-0.
I = ultimate.

The best multiplayer game ever!
You couldn't have put it any better
07-03-2004, 17:26
well you'll all be very happy to know that theyre remaking it for the new generation consoles then wont you :D
ok so it wont be by rare (EA have all the rights to the bond stuff) but hopefully - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!! - they wont mess it up

08-03-2004, 01:09
well you'll all be very happy to know that theyre remaking it for the new generation consoles then wont you :D
When will it be released?
08-03-2004, 01:23
here's the article, that's all i got:
the last paragraph (just before PSM reckons) frankly scares the shit out of me, im praying it's just lies - but as long as the multiplayer's still there (be honest thats all everyone remembers) - then i'm sure it'll be alright on the night
09-03-2004, 13:01
Goldeneye was awesome... it was pretty close to the best... mario kart was up there and so too NFL quarter Back Club 99
10-03-2004, 00:57
lets not forget zelda now :rolleyes:
10-03-2004, 01:22
Goldeneye was class, it needed more levels like Facility though.
10-03-2004, 01:34
that was definately the best map! mmmmmmmmm proximity mines *drools. :D
10-03-2004, 07:34
Goldeneye was the best game on the N64 for me and I rate it as one of the best games ever single player and multiplayer.
I dont have an xbox but i have to say after playing 8 player on it round my mates house, it could be one of the best multiplayer games ever and maybe even beat the mighty goldeneye!
10-03-2004, 07:44
well there might be a remake of goldeneye on the ps2 but there could only be one thing better... n that is a second version of goldeneye, which is called "goldeneye2" its a official!
its being released on gamecube!!

The Morning Call
June 25, 1984
To the Editor: As the Allentown Human Relations Commission, we would like to express our appreciation for the courage and sensitivity of your editorial entitled "Love without marriage."

We need not endorse a minority "lifestyle," yet we are not free of the obligation to ensure the quality of a lifestyle which a minority chooses as its own. As you indicated, it may very well be our own security at stake.

Fond Farewell To Chief Monahan
The Morning Call
August 4, 1999
To the Editor: This is, indeed, one of the few occasions in recent years I truly feel sorry to see a public officer leaving his post and our community. It was through my association with the Allentown Human Relations Commission that I got to know Police Chief Gerald M. Monahan Jr. His honesty, professionalism, dedication, together with his dynamic personality and his willingness to reach out to our diversified community, has gained my utmost respect and praises. We are fortunate, indeed, to have had him as the police chief for the past three years, and serving in the Allentown police force for the past 29 years.

The Morning Call
March 29, 1998
To the Editor: The Allentown Human Relations Commission commends The Morning Call for its editorial of March 9 supporting the extension of the city's anti-discrimination ordinance to include sexual orientation among the protected classes of Allentown residents. It is important to understand what the extension of the ordinance does, and what it does not do. The extension means that gays and lesbians who are city residents will be able to file a complaint with the Allentown Human Relations Commission if they believe they have been discriminated against because of their sexual orientation in employment, housing and the use of public facilities.

By Romy Varghese Of The Morning Call
August 9, 2003
The chairman of the state Human Relations Commission said the agency supports Allentown's fight against a lawsuit that challenges an ordinance extending anti-discrimination protection to gays and lesbians.

By Edgar Sandoval Of The Morning Call
October 29, 2002
The state Human Relations Commission followed the lead of Allentown and other cities Monday in recommending that the state pass an anti-discrimination law protecting gay and transgender people in Pennsylvania. "I think it's great we were ahead of the state," said Allentown City Councilwoman Gail Hoover. "We were a model."

Confused by objections to anti-discrimination law
The Morning Call
June 28, 2002
The aim of the Citizens for Traditional Values petition is confusing. It seems they are basing their objections to the Allentown anti-discrimination ordinance on religious beliefs even though we live in a country that guarantees freedom to practice the religion of our choice. We know many religions, including Christian denominations, accept gays and lesbians. Other religions tolerate them and would not take away their civil rights. Even Jerry Falwell, an ultra-conservative fundamentalist Christian, said, "I don't think gays or lesbians should be in any way harassed or robbed of their civil rights."

How effective is this? Has anyone else had it done? How long did it take if it worked for you? They did one today at 38 weeks and I'm wondering if it will work. I have been getting a little tightening and just feel like I have to have a bowel movement. Not really painful but I don't know if that means it's working. I am 1-2 cm right now when they did it. Thanks for anyone who can answer... Hopefully it works and I'll be in having him soon.

I had mine stripped 3 times and two of the three was in the same week. I was 3cm when she did it. I ended up going into labor on a Monday morning and she just checked me with no stripping and caused my show strengthening my contractions. I cant say stripping caused my labor but it sure helped me progress. I had my boy at 38 weeks.

A scrapbook of stuff I'm reading / looking at / listening to / thinking about...
Posts tagged "marginalia"
Mark Athitakis lays out my biggest gripe about ebooks:
[I read] almost always with a pen or pencil in my hand, ready to underline a sentence, scribble a margin note or, if I'm particularly struck by something, dash off a trio of exclamation points. I don't think of this as something I do in addition to reading — it's how I read. So something always feels a little off when I read a book on my Kindle or iPad… E-books promise all sorts of frictionless interactivity, except the one I really want.
Note taking is just one problem. Books aren't just in conversation with readers but with themselves: What happens on page 362 harks back to something on page 15 that foreshadows events on page 144. Noticing these connections is part of my work, and it wasn't until I began reading e-books that I realized how much bouncing back and forth I do in a physical book, something e-books don't easily facilitate. Readers enthuse about being immersed in a good book, but e-book progress bars encourage us to read only one way: straight ahead, at a sprint.
cf. Errol Morris: "A printed book is a random access device, a Kindle is not."
Filed under: ebooks
From a summary of Jeroen Jansen's Imitatio:
[the] process was in the Renaissance frequently expressed by means of a metaphor of eating and processing (ruminating, digesting) food. Notebooks and commonplace books supported this method of critical reading. Ready-made turns of phrase forged a necessary link between reading and imitation: expressions that pupils initially could not remember, they noted down and learnt by rote. Erasmus in his programme for learning De Ratione Studii encouraged pupils to note down succinct expressions at the beginning and end of every book they read.
Filed under: imitation.
Great article by Liz on one of my favorite subjects. (I mean, what is this, other than marginalia out of control…) This bit:
When a consumer encounters marginalia in a used book, it has the potential to change one's perception of a book's value. Cathy Marshall, a Microsoft researcher, found that university students evaluated textbooks before purchasing so that they can bring home the book with the smartest notes.
Reminded me of Andrei Codrescu on the Kindle:
I don't know about you, but I always hated underlined passages in used books. They derail my private enjoyment….When somebody offers perception of what's important, something moronic, usually…And this thing on my Kindle…something called view popular highlights, which will tell you how many morons have underlined before so that not only you do not own the new book you paid for, the entire experience of reading is shattered by the presence of a mob that agitates inside your text like strangers in a train station.
Of course, if the people making the marks mean something to you, reading a marked-up book can be a wonderful experience.

Sir John Ross, 1st Baronet
Sir John Ross, 1st Baronet, PC, QC (1853–1935) was an Irish peer. He was born in Derry, Northern Ireland, then part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, on 11 December 1853. He was the eldest son of the Reverend Robert Ross DD, Presbyterian Minister and, at one time, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. He was educated at the model school and at Foyle College, Derry, where the songwriter Percy French was one of his schoolfriends. In 1873 he entered Trinity College, Dublin. He became president of the university Philosophical Society in 1877 and graduated BA in the same year; in 1878 he was auditor of the Trinity College Historical Society, where his contemporaries included the politician and judge Edward Carson (later Lord Carson) and James Campbell (the future Lord Glenavy, Lord Chancellor of Ireland). He graduated with a Bachelor of Laws (LL. B.) degree in 1879.
Ross had entered Gray's Inn, London, in 1878 and was called to the Irish bar in 1879. He became a Queen's Counsel in 1889. He was Conservative member of parliament for Londonderry City from 1892 until his defeat in 1895. In 1896 Ross was elevated to the bench as land judge in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice in Ireland. When appointed, he was the youngest judge in the United Kingdom and he was the first Presbyterian judge of the High Court.
Ross was sworn of the Irish privy council in 1902. In 1919 he was created a baronet. In 1921, in succession to Sir James Campbell, Ross was appointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland. He was to be the last holder of that office, which was abolished in December 1922. Ross retired to London, but later he returned to live in Northern Ireland.
He was president of the St John Ambulance Brigade in Ireland and during the First World War was in control of all Red Cross activities in southern Ireland. In 1914 he was made a Knight of Grace of the Grand Priory of the order of St John of Jerusalem. During the war he was also chairman of the Irish board for the selection of candidates for commissions in the British army.
In 1882 Ross married Katherine Mary Jeffcock (d. 1932), who was the only daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel Deane Mann, of Dunmoyle and Corvey Lodge, county Tyrone. They had one son, Major Ronald Deane Ross MC MP, and two daughters, the younger of whom predeceased her father. Ross died, of bronchial pneumonia, at his home, Dunmoyle Lodge, Sixmilecross, co. Tyrone, on 17 August 1935, and was succeeded as second baronet by his son.[1]

What Inspired Nike's FI Shoes?
Jamie Kennedy
, 05 July 2013
Nike Golf Equipment
If I told you Nike were releasing a Free pair of golf shoes for both men and women, is that something that might interest you?
Well, the new
Nike FI Impact shoes
may not be free to buy but they are packed with Nike's Free-Inspired technology.
Following the success of the original
Nike TW'13 shoe
, as well as the
TW'14 released earlier this year
, our friends at Nike were inspired to continue their Free-Inspired range of shoes, thus the FI (Free-Inspired) Impact shoe was born.
But what is Nike Free?
After learning that Stanford athletes had been training barefoot on the university's golf course, three of Nike's most innovative and creative employees set out to develop a shoe that felt natural and weightless, similar to bare feet. In 2002, they examined a group of men and women with pressure measuring insoles taped to their feet, using high-speed cameras to capture images of each foot in motion.
The team spent eight years studying the biomechanics of shoeless running. The results yielded a understanding of the foot's natural landing angle, pressure and toe position, allowing Nike designers to build an unconventional and flexible running shoe from the inside out.
In 2012, with the introduction of the Nike TW'13 shoe, they brought that technology to the golf course. A second generation TW'14 shoe was released earlier this year, and now the Nike FI Impact offers a more colourful, more affordable version of the Free-Inspired golf shoe.
The men's Nike FI Impact will come in 5 different colours (shown above): Black/Silver, Grey/Black, Grey/Black/Orange (all available late August), Blue/White, and Black/Green (available early 2014).
Just as Tiger Woods' insights helped pave the way for the first Free-Inspired golf shoe, Suzann Pettersen teamed up with Nike to develop the first Free-Inspired footwear for women, the ladies Nike FI Impact. Pettersen visited Nike's headquarters to test the Free-Inspired technology at the Nike Sport's Research Lab (NSRL) in August of 2012.
Traditionally a fan of spiked shoes, Pettersen quickly realised she could harness as much power without the removable spikes. Nike designers set to work to create a Nike Free-Inspired shoe to meet her athletic needs, incorporating technology from the successful Nike TW'13 footwear.
The ladies Nike FI Impact will come in two different colours: White/Pink and Black/Blue/White.
"After I tried them once, I was dying to get them on my feet in competition," expressed Pettersen. "I can really feel the ground and the increase in power through my swing."
In her first tournament round in the new FI Impacts shoes, Pettersen carded rounds of 65, 69, 68 and 67, shooting 19-under par to win the tournament.
The mens and women's Nike FI Impact shoes will be in shops in late August, with additional colours hitting the market in January 2014, with an RRP of £95.
