iTunes Store or App Store giving you problems today?
We've gotten a ton of feeback this morning about the iTunes Store or App Store being down, inaccessible, or just plain ornery this morning. Some of us here at iMore can get to it fine, others can't get to it at all. Apple's System Status tools shows an issue over the last hour or so:
Multiple Store Services - 9:40 AM - 11:50 AM - Some users affected
Users may have been unable to make purchases in the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, and App Store.
Which sounds like it's over, but still seems to be lingering for some.
There's not much we can do at this point except hope Apple's fixed it, and those fixes will get everyone back in and enjoying their content and games asap. In the meantime, let me know if you had any problems, or if you're still having problems.

iTunes Store or App Store giving you problems today?
As of 11:45am PST in Oakland, CA still no access to App Store in our household.
Yes I thought it was a problem with the latest update until reading your post. I couldn't update my apps. However, as of 6pm GMT, I can.
Had bigtime problems around 1PM EST when I tried to download the Amazon update and it got stuck on processing and would not finish, Had noticed the store was weird late last night too, I called Apple and they had me re-download Itunes and that seemed to fix the problem. The Amazon app seems to have processed and is acting ok. Probably what happened is they fixed whatever the issue was. Wish Applecare was more on top of Itunes issues.:)
I thought it was me! I have DSL cause its so cheap, but the DSL here can only go up to 4mbs even though I could easily get and afford 10mbs +, stupid lines near my house can't handle that speed. Plus when I try to use my iPhone 4 in the area I am in, the 3G is slow as shit. I was spoiled by my Droid Razr Maxx. I miss my LTE.
I can't seem to download my IAP's I've paid for in Midway Arcade. It's showing no content. Not sure if its a problem with WB Games end or App Store. I've sent a ticket to WB.
It has been down all day for me on my MBPro, but the iTunes store on my iPhone is working just fine. Hopefully they get it worked out soon so I can stream my iTunes Match music on my laptop.
Anyone else still having issues today? I cannot sign in or download iTunes match music in iTunes on my Macbook Pro.
Yes still problems this morning. I changed my password but that did not fix it. I was able to purchase 1 album but can't buy more!!

From the moment LaDona Sutherland strapped on her glass high heels I knew this was not the average fitness class. Then again the 10 poles standing in the middle of Goddess Dance Studio were the real clue. The studio, located in downtown Summerville, offers pole dancing classes.
A pole dancing class? Honestly, I imagined before class began a disco ball would drop from the ceiling as the room turned dark and smoky. And that, explains instructor Elizabeth Pike, is the stigma pole dancing classes have been fighting for years.

Sessions and snacks at Google I/O
We hosted Google I/O at the Moscone Center in San Francisco this week, with 3,000+ developers in attendance. They took advantage of nearly 100 in-depth technical sessions, on-site massage therapists, and 3,500 pounds of assorted snacks (including 395 pounds of M&Ms and 190 pounds of Gummi Bears).
While we can't embed snacks or massages directly into this browser -- we're hoping the Gears team will make this possible next year -- presentations will be posted to Google Code shortly. In the meantime, feel free to check out the Google I/O keynote:


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Trophies are the PlayStation 3 counterpart to the Xbox 360's achievements that were incorporated in the system since the 2.40 update. Trophies are a form of reward that players can obtain for in-game accomplishments, such as beating a certain level, collecting a number of items, etc. All trophies are determined by the developers and as such the difficulty of obtaining trophies can vary from game to game. Some games released prior to 2.40 have been updated to feature trophy support, including Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Burnout Paradise. Super Stardust HD was the first game to have trophies included after release, and PixelJunk Eden is the first game to come with trophies at release.Trophy SystemSCE introduced a level system that gives the user an incentive to get more trophies. Trophies work on a tier-based system; obtaining a trophy of higher tier contributes more to your level than a lower tier. The trophies tiers are, from least important: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Acquiring trophies adds to your tally and contributes to a percentage bar attached to your PlayStation Network ID. Once a bar is completed your level increases, very similar to character leveling in role-playing games. The required number of trophies increases per level, and the necessary amount as well as the actual value of each trophy has never been revealed to the public.Within the PlayStation 3's XrossMediaBar, under Game, a list of trophies available and obtained per game is displayed including a percentage of completion determining the percentage of trophies obtained from that particular game, including those unique to downloadable content (if that system was connected to the internet when that list was updated by the developer) whether that content was obtained or not.Platinum TrophyPlatinum trophies are awarded only to players who have acquired all other trophies in a game, thus signifying 100% completion; however, obtaining the platinum trophy does not require earning any trophies unique to downloadable content. When acquired, a small platinum trophy symbol is added to the game's particular percentage completion list.Platinum trophies are usually reserved for games sold on Blu-ray, but certain PSN games have been deemed "big enough" to include a platinum, such as Wipeout HD, Call of Duty: Classic, and Trine.Future Trophy ImplementationSony revealed that starting in 2009, all games released on the PS3 had to have trophies. However, Trophy support is only mandatory in titles that were submitted for certification after January 1, 2009; so not all games released in 2009 had trophies since they could have been certified before January 1, 2009 and therefore an optional choice for the game's developers. Also, it is rumored that trophies might find themselves integrated into Home, as either a visual trophy case and or a form of currency.The Japan exclusive "PSP Remasters" series are excluded from this requirement, and none of the games in this series have trophies.Value of TrophiesPlease note: The values provided have been proven but are not official. However, since the first day trophies are introduced: Gulzt, PortlandRidah, Dajmer79, Docbooch, and Shuishou have collected trophy data for months, using the data accounts of all the leading trophy hunters.Trophy ValuesBronze = 15 pointsSilver = 30 pointsGold = 90 pointsPlatinum = 180 points* Many screenshots have proven the numbers in the first months. When Sony introduced percentages we could be sure our findings were correct. There is a very easy way to confirm the numbers yourself:Count your trophies and multiply them each by their point value. For example you have 2 bronze, 4 silver, 1 gold:(2*15 4*30 1G*90) = 240ptCheck in the table below at what level you should be. In our example you see level 2 plus 40 pointsCalculate the leap to the next level. In our example there is 400 points to gain from level 2 to 3.If you divide the number of points you have by the number of points you need to collect to level up, you'll get your correct percentage. In our example: 40/400 = 10%. Our PSN card will show us: level 2 plus 10%Game WorthBlu-ray retail release: 1230 points maximum (some downloadable titles are also applicable)Downloadable release: 315 points maximumRequired Number of Points per LevelLevel 1 = 0Level 2 = 200Level 3 = 600Level 4 = 1,200Level 5 = 2,400Level 6 = 4,000Level 7 = 6,000Level 8 = 8,000Level 9 = 10,000Level 10 = 12,000Level 11 = 14,000Level 12 = 16,000Level 13 = 24,000Level 14 = 32,000Level 15 = 40,000Level 16 = 48,000Level 17 = 56,000Level 18 = 64,000Level 19* = 70,000Level 20* = 78,000Level 21 and up = previous level plus 8,000*Firmware 3.00 changed the step-increase per level for level 19 and up, to 8000. Before this firmware update, level 19 required 120,000 points. This is calculated by extrapolation of scores of the leading trophy hunters.It is unconfirmed at what level another step-increase occurs.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams Awesome colors, fitting a little snug This shirt comes in absolutely awesome colors, and the cotton is not too thick, great for layering. I have two of the crochet cuff henley ad they booth fit a little larger, but here i needed to size up from XS to S. For reference I am 5'4'', 105 lbs 32C 10.2.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Karicee Love! I just got this top at the Walnut store and it was love at first sight! The neckline is so flattering and the shirt fits wonderfully. It's the same fit as the Crochet Cuff Henley and just as great. Would love to get the other colors as well! 8.21.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Stelee Lovely Just received the 'ivory' colorway, and I love it. It fits tts, in my usual FP size and exactly like the crochet cuff henley. The collar detailing is so pretty and seems more durable than the crochet on the other crochet cuff henley. This neckline is so flattering to the collarbone area and flattering to us small chested gals 10.24.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lappin great detail i fully intended to NOT buy this shirt because i already own the crochet cuff version from last year and it's basically the same shirt but when i saw it in person i couldnt resist :) the detail at the collar is sooooo pretty and flattering and since the material is different, it looks like it wont instantly fall apart like the crochet cuff version which im always stitching back up. (but of course.. we'll see) some people say to size up but i needed to size down. i have a long fairly slim torso and small chest and for me the shirt has a relaxed fit, i didnt want to be swamped in it so i sized down to XS (i'm almost always a S in FP) and its perfect. not skin tight, still has some movement but it also has shape. i think i like it better than the crochet cuff as it turns out!! i got the charcoal color which is just slightly lighter in real life. 10.16.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by voravez Cute top I ordered the indigo top along with a completely different top. I received the indigo and another of the same top but in the clover color. They sent me two of the same tops and not the other top that I ordered. I called them to inform them of the mistake. They were very courteous and asked me to send back the clover top and that they would send out my other top that I ordered. They were prompt at sending the top. However, the indigo color is very faded looking, just like the picture I suppose. After seeing the clover color next to the indigo, I decided I like the clover better. I probably would have been just fine with the indigo top if I had not seen it next to the clover which is a brighter color. I asked if I could exchange the two tops and I was told that I would have to send both of the tops back along with my credit card number just in case they need to charge my card for the exchange, but that it was unlikely that they would need to. I have sent the tops back now about a couple of weeks ago and am still waiting for them to send me the clover top back. This is frustrating because it would have been much simpler for me to have just returned the indigo top, but I understand that they have a process to go through to make the exchange, I just would like to receive the top now. 3.10.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Usti-waya Wonderful on any figure! I can't wait to buy more of these! I'm hooked! I got the indigo color & am very impressed! It has an antique blue look to it, but not faded. Almost like when you put old style filters on a pic. Perfect with the tan corduroy skinnies or gray skinnies! It has stretch to it. My sister is slender & I am athletic but curvy but, we both wear the same size. We both wear it with ease! 6.27.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by diva6 legacy Henley I am obsessed with FP henleys :)! I was shopping at Bloomingdales when I spotted this gem and had to have it. I bought it in the indigo and cherry. So cute, figure flattering, and super comfortable. I have the FP henley with the crochet on the sleeve. Its so cool to see a similar pattern on the neckline. As usual, it's the different buttons, colors, neckline and stiching in the back that I love. Perfect for layering. Wear it with a cute jean jacket and leggings, a maxi skirt or skinny jeans. A real favorite. 4.27.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Catwoman Flattering, light weight top Just picked this up today in the clover color. It is a really nice shade - pretty and refreshing, but not over-the-top. Of course the crochet detailing is lovely. I am petite (5'2", 105 lbs) and the xs fit very nicely. It is long in the back, but I love that. It trails behind like a coat tail. On the other hand, that material is light enough that the shirt can easily be tucked into jeans or a skirt. I'm looking forward to wearing this on cooler spring days. 4.12.2013

|Assistant Coach (DE)
|8th season
|Previous College:
|Maryland '97
The 2013 season represents Jon Shelton's eighth year on the UNH coaching staff as the defensive ends coach.
In 2011, Shelton guided Brian McNally to a second straight berth on the CAA All-Conference First Team, All-New England Team and ECAC All-Star team. McNally ranked second in the CAA with 7.5 sacks and was selected to play in the Casino Del Sol All-Star Game, which featured more than 90 of the nation's best college football players. Fellow senior James Jenkins notched 3.5 sacks and led all Wildcat defensive linemen with 45 tackles.
McNally set the University's all-time single-season record with a CAA-leading 13.5 sacks in 2010. As a result, the then junior was named College Sporting News Sweet-63 All-America, ECAC All-Star and earned a berth on the FCS All-New England Team.
Shelton, who has 19 years of coaching experience under his belt, previously served as a defensive assistant at the University of Kansas from 2002-04, where he coached and managed all aspects of the defensive line on game day and handled all of the day-to-day duties. He coached a line that ranked among the top squads in the nation.
Previously, he worked as the defensive coordinator, assistant head coach and director of operations at Bryant College from 1999-2001. While with the Bulldogs, he was responsible for recruiting players from the Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. areas.
Shelton also gained experience at Montgomery Community College in Rockville, Md., in 1997-98 as the assistant coach of linebackers and kickers. At the University of Maryland, Shelton was a student assistant coach who helped mentor the defensive line from 1995-97.
His coaching career began at Montgomery Community College as defensive line coach from 1993-95. Shelton earned a Master's Degree in Education (Counseling) at Providence College, garnered a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Maryland at College Park and earned an Associate of Arts Degree in Finance from Montgomery Community College.

My wife and I both have cell phones. We no longer use a home phone since we're on the go all the time. Why pay for a landline you hardly use.
Step 1: Materials and Explanation:
Here is my solution:
You will need a PC with an internet connection.
Step 2: It's this simple
Google discontinued its service. Use this instead.
as seen on Gizmodo.
Open your browser and go to www.google.com/maps
Google Maps no longer has this option. Recently there was an entry on lifehacker that was pretty similar to this instructable.
Step 3: Enter a name of a business in your area
For this Instructable I used Sam's club.
Step 4: Matches to your query will be found. Here's what you do.
Step 5: Enter your phone number
Step 6: Listen intently for your ringtone
I'm sure there are other services that do this too, but this is the one I use.
This will also work for those of you with older cordless phones that were manufactured before the SEEK feature was invented.

In an ending that evoked a measure of controversy, the Greyhounds emerged victorious with a 3-point win in overtime after a heroic goal line stand, including a fourth and goal on the one-inch line.
The Jones County Greyhounds hosted Alcovy High School from Newton County to open their season in front of a packed stadium. The Hounds took the field with a number of young athletes in critical positions on offense, including two sophomore quarterbacks and a sophomore halfback.
Facing them would be a larger and more experienced Alcovy defense, anchored by two 290-pound defensive tackles who are three-year starters. For the home team, it would be a test of endurance, conditioning, and game plan versus size and experience.
In the beginning of the game, the outcome was questionable. Alcovy scored first on a 10-yard pass play from Tristen Payne to Jaylin Penny. The 6'3" receiver was a primary target for the Tigers and racked up 100 yards in receiving before the night was over. In a bit of foreshadowing of the night's events, however, the Alcovy attempt for an extra point was no good, leaving the score 6-0.

Over 700 people showed up today at GABP. There's another on Saturday in Milford at Pattison Elementary School between 9-3, or you can register online and they'll send you an at-home kit. It's no cost.
I should have done it a long time ago when I produced Lance's show and Casey was sick. I didn't. I was young and dumb... I did it today. I hope I can help someone.

I registered about five years ago. It really could not be more simple. If you are eligible to donate, there's no excuse. It takes about five minutes.
And if you're having second thoughts or are simply lazy, know that if you one day need a marrow transplant, registering now means you are already in the system ahead of time.
I registered years ago and got contacted about being a potential match 6 months ago. Didn't get picked because there was a better match for the donee found.

The Summerville girls basketball team fell to an explosive team Thursday during the Bojangles Carolina Invitational.
The tournament features 48 teams but Summerville faced a familiar foe in the first round as it lost 78-51 to Northwood Academy.
The game started out well enough for the Lady Green Wave, which took a 14-13 lead into the second period. But the Lady Chargers battled to tie the game at 18 and then closed out the period with a 16-2 run for a 34-20 halftime lead.
Summerville cut into the lead a bit, but then fell behind again as the Lady Chargers took a 53-37 advantage into the final period.
Northwood made 16 of 23 free throws in the game and hit seven three-point shots. Summerville was only 5 of 13 at the free-throw line and only managed three 3s.
As usual, Amber Campbell led the Lady Chargers. She scored 16 of her game-high 43 points at the free-throw line. Point guard Katelyn Powell chipped in 15 points for Northwood. She, Jaime Andrews and Caliyah Kappel all had a pair of three-point buckets in the game.
Summerville was led by Kwanza Murray, who scored 23 points with a variety of shots. Zuri Green and Ashley Green both finished with 12 points.
The Lady Green Waves 3s came from Rodnesha Capers, Murray and Ashley Green.
The tournament continued Friday after press time.

The Bulletin compiles news from in and around the US South. We hope these posts will provide space for lively discussion and debate regarding issues of importance to those living in and intellectually engaging with the US South. This week, in a belated celebration of Labor Day, The Bulletin focuses upon the role of organized labor in the 2012 Republican and Democratic National Conventions held in Tampa, Florida and Charlotte, North Carolina respectively.
- The Huffington Post reported that many of the workers responsible for cleaning up after convention-goers at the Republican National Convention were being paid below minimum wage. Regular employees of Cleanevent USA, the company contracted to clean the convention center in Tampa, were paid the minimum wage of $7.67, but they were also charged a weekly fee of between six and eleven dollars for their uniforms, effectively lowering their wages beneath the minimum.
- Organized labor leaders and activists have expressed frustration over the location of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. Many leaders decided not to donate money to the convention, while still supporting the president's reelection campaign, because Charlotte is a city without unionized hotels in a state which has the lowest percentage of union members in the nation.
- As we continue to think about the importance of organized labor to today's workers, we encourage you to read (or reread) some of our pieces on labor in the US South like Fran Ansley and Anne Lewis's "Going South Coming, North: Migration and Union Organizing in Morristown, Tennessee," and Jarod Roll's "'Out Yonder on the Road': Working Class Self-Representation and the 1939 Roadside Demonstration in Southeast Missouri."

Southern Spaces on Hurricane Katrina»
Coinciding with the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Southern Spaces and the University of Texas Press announce a collaborative publishing project.
"No Place To Be Displaced: Katrina Response and the Deep South's Political Economy" by Prof. Lynn Weber of the University of South Carolina, just published by Southern Spaces, is the first in a series of essays to be adapted for online presentation from the University of Texas Press new Katrina Bookshelf Series. The book series is edited by Prof. Kai Erikson, former president of the American Sociological Association.
Below is a description of the series from the University of Texas Press:
In 2005 Hurricane Katrina crashed into the Gulf Coast and precipitated the flooding of New Orleans. It was a towering catastrophe by any standard. Some 1,800 persons were killed outright. More than a million people were forced to relocate, many for the remainder of their lives. A city of 500,000 was nearly emptied of life.
If measured by the number of lives it claimed, Katrina does not qualify as the worst disaster in our history. But it was far and away the most destructive disaster in our national experience when one considers the amount of damage it did not only to the physical and social landscapes of the Gulf region but also to the nation more generally. And it was far and away the most telling disaster in our national experience. Katrina stripped away the outer surface of our social structure and showed us what lies underneath—a grim look at race, class, and gender in these United States.
It is crucial to get this story straight so that we may learn from it and be ready for that stark inevitability, the next time. When seen through a social science lens, Katrina is almost the perfect storm in terms of informing us what the real human costs of a disaster are and helping prepare us for the blows that we know are lurking just over the horizon.
A number of studies of Katrina have appeared since the event. Most were brief glances at some fragment of that immense disaster rather than rich, in-depth portraits of it, and many rode the crest of Katrina's celebrity for the time it was in the news. The Katrina Bookshelf Series, by contrast, is the result of a national effort to bring experts together in a collaborative program of research on the human costs of the disaster. The program itself was supported by the Ford, Gates, MacArthur, Rockefeller, and Russell Sage Foundations, and sponsored by the Social Science Research Council. This is the most comprehensive social science coverage of a disaster to be found anywhere in the literature. It is also a deeply human story being told here.
The Bulletin compiles news from in and around the US South. We hope these posts will provide space for lively discussion and debate regarding issues of importance to those living in and intellectually engaging with the US South.
- South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G) and the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation reached a settlement on August 20 requiring SCE&G to remove 240,000 tons of toxic coal ash from wet-storage impoundments near the Wateree River. The company must move the coal ash into lined landfill storage away from the river or have it recycled by December 31, 2020. The legal victory, secured with help from the Southern Environmental Law Center, is a major step forward in the protection of the river system, and could set a precedent for the handling of other dangerous coal ash-storage facilities in the state.
- As we have reported in The Bulletin before, this summer's record-setting drought has wreaked havoc on farmers and ranchers across a broad swath of the United States. On Monday the United States Department of Agriculture announced that it would buy $170 million of pork, lamb, chicken, and catfish for federal food nutrition assistance programs, including food banks and school lunch and breakfast programs. This announcment is welcome news for farmers and ranchers across the affected area whose livlihoods are seriously endangered by the dry weather. While the Midwest has been hit hardest by this year's drought, farmers and ranchers in the US South (like the catfish farmer interviewed here) have also had to deal with rising feed costs and dry fields.
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) there have been 693 cases (26 deaths) of the West Nile virus disease in humans in 43 states so far this year. This number represents the highest total in late August since the CDC started tracking the disease in 1999. Over 80 percent of the cases have been reported from six states (Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and California) and almost half of all cases have been reported from Texas (as illustrated in this map). The severity of the outbreak in and around Dallas, Texas has prompted the city to declare a state of emergency and deploy pesticides across the metro region via aircraft for the first time since 1966, much to the chagrin of many residents worried about the potentially hazardous side effects of the chemicals.

- In a July 31 primary election, Georgians voted down T-SPLOST (Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax), a penny sales-tax proposal which would have provided for various transportation projects across the state. For the first time in history, voters in the ten-county region surrounding Atlanta were asked to vote on taxes funding projects throughout the metro area. While the regional referrendum failed (62.3% to 37.7%), a closer look at a map of the voting data suggests that most Atlantans living inside the I-285 perimeter voted in favor of the bill, with residents of the city of Atlanta voting in favor of the bill 60% to 40%. The outcome of this ballot initiative has left some observers wondering if "Metro-Atlanta" even exists and whether or not Atlanta residents should seek to enact transportation changes without the help of the surrounding region in the future.
- On August 7, seven-hundred members of the United Steelworkers Local 5668 who work for the Constellium rolled aluminum plant in Ravenswood, West Virginia went on strike. The workers voted to strike after failing to reach an agreement with the company on a new collective bargaining contract. Specifically, the workers are unwilling to accept the reduction of health care benefits proposed by the company. The importance of the plant to the economic vitality of the town, and the importance of healthcare benefits to its workers recalls a similar relationship in nearby east Kentucky documented by photographer Earl Dotter in his 2008 Southern Spaces photo essay "Coalfield Generations: Health, Mining, and the Environment."
The Bulletin—August 9, 2012»
From the beginning of Southern Spaces in 2004, we've understood this journal as participating in critical regional studies. Southern Spaces publishes work that represents and analyzes many souths and southern regions, offers critical scrutiny of any monolithic "South," interrogates historical developments and geographies over time, and maps expressive cultural forms associated with place. Perhaps our blog can serve as a site which takes notice of work in critical regionalism, wherever we find it. In the following excerpt from Main Street and Empire (Rutgers, 2012), a study of how the historical imaginary of the US small town contributes to the ideology of American empire, author Ryan Poll offers a quick overview of the term:
At the conclusion of his canonical essay, "The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism," Fredric Jameson articulates what remains one of the most pressing challenges to aesthetic producers and critics: to develop texts that can help subjects understand and narrate how their everyday, local lives and spaces are dialectically bound to and enabled by global relations. Similarly the geography theorist and scholar Doreen Massey emphasizes the need to develop a "global sense of place." This project of thinking about the complex imbrications between the local and the global is one of the more productive developments in literary and cultural studies. In his 2001 article "Glocal Knowledges," the comparative literature scholar Robert Eric Livingston writes, "To grasp the scenarios of globalization requires resisting the impulse to set global and local into immediate opposition. Their intertwining may be made more helpfully understood [by means of the neologism 'glocal,' a concept that] . . . has the advantage not only of making visible the mutual articulation of our two spatial coordinates, but also of insisting, neologically, on the need for a more careful rereading of the means of articulation." One of the most exciting interdisciplinary means for thinking about the relation between the local and the global is "critical regionalism." The term, coined in the field of architecture in the early 1980s, challenges the dominant "fictions of globalization" (such as the global village) and instead uses local and regional sources to produce new narratives and geographic imaginaries by which to historicize and specify globalization. By attending to the local and the regional, we can see globalization not as a singular imaginary or community, but as a nuanced, complex, contradictory, and historically material process that is narrated and imagined differently depending on an individual's—and a community's—spatial location and position. In her important study, Critical Regionalism and Cultural Studies (1996), the literary scholar Cheryl Temple Herr writes, "Critical-regionalist-cultural studies has great potential for producing a unified but highly adaptive analysis of international flows at the local-regional level, towards the end of a more heterogeneous and tolerant future." Edward Watts, a scholar of American thought and language, writes that critical regionalism offers students a rich and robust methodology for thinking about globalization. . . . "We might," Watts offers, "teach our students to consider a text's geographic placement as providing a nexus between the specificities of that setting and the larger issues at stake" (164).

The first revelation was that to interpret Daniel 9:24-27 to mean that the seven weeks are weeks of Jubilees:
The second revelation was that the reference to "restore and to rebuild Jerusalem" in Daniel 9:25 refers to the "spiritual repentance" of Israel based on Joel 2:12-18, as well as the physical rebuilding of Jerusalem. This is consistent with God's heart as expressed in Scripture. It was from the spiritual restoration of Jerusalem found in Joel 2:12-18 that we were to begin counting to determine the two comings of the Messiah.
According to the Jubilee Hypothesis, the Messiah Yeshua will return in a Jubilee Year, on the Fall Feast of Trumpets (Hebrew Yom T'ruah, also called Rosh Hashanah) in the year 2027
1. The "sixty two periods of seven" of Daniel 9:25:b measures to the first coming of Yeshua. 2. The "seven periods of seven" of Daniel 9:25a measures to the second coming of Yeshua, In Jubilee years.3. The "one period of seven" of Daniel 9:27 measures the Time of Jacob's Trouble, commonly known as the Tribulation (the 70th period of seven of Daniel's prophecy) and is concurrent with the last seven years of the "seven periods of seven" period just prior to Yeshua's second coming.
Personally I don't bother reading any end times hype for free let alone pay good money.I'd actually rather light the cash on fire and watch it burn, the entertainment value is higher.

Today, the Fairfax County Police Department is a cutting edge, modern force serving a population of more than 1 million residents.
Its roughly 1,400 police officers are equipped with the latest in law enforcement, forensic and communication technologies.
But when former Police Chief Col. William S. Durrer, 89, joined the department — which at the time only had been formed seven years earlier — the county's population wasn't even one-tenth of its current size and the department's ranks consisted of fewer than 20 officers.
"The county was growing fast," said retired officer Lt. Dan Courtney, who recently wrote a book outlining the department's history. "When the department was formed in 1940, it served a population of only about 40,000, which grew to 125,000 by the end of that decade."
Durrer served in the Army Air Corps during World War II, and on his return wanted to become a Fairfax County police officer like his father, Capt. Haywood J. Durrer.
Right after the war, openings in the department were scarce; the younger Durrer nearly joined the Virginia State Police instead. But in July 1947, he was accepted and became a Fairfax County officer, eventually becoming the department's second police chief; a title he held for 17 years of his nearly 30-year career.
"I really loved being a police officer," Durrer said. "I began by helping my father with police radio calls as a young boy and I knew then I wanted to become a policeman."
Early on, Durrer worked many high-profile cases, including that of Charles Holober.
In February 1949, long before there was a Reston, a double homicide was committed in the Green Forest nudist colony, which, today, is located where the Reston South Park and Ride commuter parking lot sits at the intersection of Reston Parkway and Lawyers Road.
Holober of Washington, D.C., later confessed to shooting his wife and burying his infant daughter alive there. Dubbed the "laughing killer" by the media because of his apparent lack of remorse, Holober was declared insane and remanded to the Southwestern State Mental Hospital in Marion, Va., for the rest of his life.
"I remember that case well," said Durrer, who worked the case as a detective.
Durrer was promoted to lieutenant in April 1955 and, in July of that year, attended the FBI National Academy. Having completed the federal training in November, he was then promoted to the rank of captain the following month.
Ten years into his career — in November 1957 — Durrer became a colonel and chief of police, ushering in a new era in modernizing the department, Courtney said.
In 1961, Durrer toured burgeoning computer company IBM as an executive officer with the International Association of the Chiefs of Police. The visit resulted in the first computer system for policing installed in the region in 1963, Courtney said.
"As chief, Durrer understood the needs of officers and brought the department into the modern age," Courtney said. "He helped to modernize many aspects of the department, from its communications, to developing the department's first helicopter program, expanding its narcotics division, and improving ways of preserving evidence from crime scenes."
In 1971, a state crime lab was established for the first time in Northern Virginia. The forensic lab enabled in-depth forensic analysis of evidence and rapid response time for results, which previously were unavailable to the department.
"Col. Durrer was very instrumental in using his influence in getting that lab established," said retired Fairfax Police Officer James Dooley, who is Durrer's son-in-law. "As a detective working major crimes, experience gave him a keen appreciation for evidence preservation."
According to Dooley, who joined the department in 1968, before the local lab crime evidence such as fingerprints had to be sent either to the FBI in Washington or to a state lab in Richmond. "Having a lab locally helped improve efficiency overall and certainly the ability of analysts to testify in Fairfax County courts," Dooley said.
After 28 years with the department, Durrer retired in 1975. He now lives in Florida.
This past October, he returned to Fairfax County and was present when the department's newest forensic facility was dedicated and named after him.
"Over the course of his 17-year tenure as chief, Col. Durrer embraced science and technology, advancing the department into a modern law enforcement agency," said Capt. Paul L. Thornton, who is in charge of the facility.
The 33,000-square-foot Col. William Durrer forensic facility, located at the McConnell Public Safety and Transportation Operations Center on West Ox Road in Fairfax, is dedicated in honor of Durrer's vision and leadership. It employs 10 full-time detectives, two photo technicians and a supplemental staff of 12 patrol officers.
"We do fingerprints here from soup to nuts," Thornton said. "We also do blood-splatter trajectory analysis and many other forensic-related procedures in-house."
Thornton said DNA analysis still is sent to the FBI and state labs, but that the local facility aids the department tremendously in its day-to-day evidence analysis.
"I am honored and pleased to have the facilty named after me," Durrer said.
"I was there with Col. Durrer at the dedication," Dooley said. "It was amazing. He hasn't been chief since 1975 but when he got up there and spoke, he underwent a physical transformation and went right into 'chief mode,' thanking everyone and remembering everyone's names and ranks. It really meant a lot to him."

The Pizza Lab: In Which We Get The KettlePizza Insert Working And Meet Its Maker
Good news: we finally got some good results out of the KettlePizza after-market insert that supposedly turns your kettle grill into a wood-burning pizza oven. Strike that, we actually got great results. In fact, I'd even say the pies I've been pulling off my grill for the past few weeks have been some of the best I've ever made at home. This time, we've tried out a few different inexpensive hacks to modify the existing insert into something that really produces a great pie. By the time we were through, we were pulling out neapolitan-style pies that cooked through in a mere two to three minutes, producing excellent charring, a moist, cloud-like interior, and a crackly, blistered crusts.

Yum!! Thanks so much for my breakfast in bed. You treat me much too good, but I'm loving it.
Spring is just around the corner, so that will help as well. I hate that your vacation had to end with you getting sick.
You sleep in and I will have breakfast waiting when you wake up. How does breakfast in bed sound for this morning?
Yum!! Thanks so much for my breakfast in bed. You treat me much too good, but I'm loving it.
Forever Jesse, Eric. and Mel
In honor of Frankie's birthday today, I think we should all stop in here later and have a toast to him.
What do you think?? This is the Chez Frank, what better place to have a party for this wonderful man.
Forever Jesse, Eric. and Mel
Today it's Chez Frank Jr.
There we go. Tonight let's have a bash. Chad, can you make some sidecars?
Forever Jesse, Eric. and Mel
I'll drink to that! Except I don't drink. Can I just raise my Disani for a toast?
Nancy Ann
No more lives - no more dollars.
Absolutely! At this time of day, that is what we should all raise. It's good for the complexion.
I think I'll have the same Nancy Ann, I can use all the help I can get for my complexion.
Forever Jesse, Eric. and Mel
Your complexion is fine, but the liquids will help with the bug you caught.
I hate to run out, but I must run to the office. I am now in the reverse situation from before. I have internet at home, but the computers are down at the office. The good news is that my computer guy is back and he has the server and his rebuilding it for me.
I'll be back in business before you know it! Love,
Saved this important milestone for "Chez Frank III", but who's counting...
1st of all, Rhoda listen to Chad and stay in bed and get your rest.
2nd, I pray we've seen the last of these storms, both here in Fl and the Gulf states, but you know we can't mess with "Mother Nature" and don't expect to come up on the short end of things.
3th, Nancyann, you can raise your glass high for all of us at CFIII to celebrate Frankie Jr.'s birthday, he's a credit to the Sinatra name.
Long live CFIII, Joe V.
my chocolate Martini in a toast to everyone!

Sinatra, Sinatra,Sinatra! Pray for Robin!
And I have a round of Sidecars ready. Here's to Frank Sinatra, Jr., Happy Birthday!
I'll have one right now, please. Happy Birthday Frankie!!
Forever Jesse, Eric. and Mel
Happy Birthday Frankie!
Well, I'm off to bed. I have to be up early to get Rho's chicken soup breakfast ready. Rho should also be drinking some of the Ensure breakfast shakes. They are delicious.
Rho, though my degree is only a J.D. (Juris Doctorate) that does still make me a doctor, so do what Dr. Chad says and get plenty of rest, take two Sidecars, and call me in the morning. Love always, Dr. Chad.
Have a good night Chad. I will follow your instructions, you're the best doctor anyone could have. See you in the morning!!
Forever Jesse, Eric. and Mel
Good morning all. I am headed to the office and will check in later. Thanks,
so glad you are getting your office back in shape. Sorry to have missed the party. We moved Robin into a first floor apartment, and we are off to the food store, and then finish up.

Sinatra, Sinatra,Sinatra! Pray for Robin!
Lee: Thanks! And it is great to read that Robin is out of the hospital. I am praying for a full and complete recovery.
