Who are we?
The Deafness Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation, was founded in 1973 by the Hon. Peter Howson to act as an umbrella organisation, forum and information exchange and hopefully speak with a united voice for the Deaf and hearing impaired in the Community.
The Foundation today is dedicated to the support of the Deaf and hearing impaired through research, prevention, education, early detection and technology.
The Foundation was honoured to have Dame Elisabeth Murdoch as its Patron till her death in 2012. In 2012, two of our previous Trustees, Professor Geoffrey Blainey and Professor Field Rickards were appointed as Governors of the Foundation.
A Board of Directors governs the operations of the Foundation and five part-time staff are employed. The services of the Foundation are made possible through the success of the Butterfly Badge Campaign and other fundraising initiatives, the support of volunteers, donors, the community, businesses and a government financial grant, which supports the position of a Rubella Education Officer.
Objectives of the Foundation
To promote communication and understanding between all agencies and individuals involved in the field of hearing impairment
To provide financial and other assistance to people with hearing impairment and to organisations working in the field of hearing impairment
To promote research into all aspects of hearing impairment and its prevention and into the needs of people with hearing impairment
To acquire and publish information and to undertake community education programs about hearing impairment, its prevention and the needs of people with hearing impairment
To work in conjunction with other state, national and international organisations with similar objectives
To represent the interests of people with hearing impairment at individual, community, municipal, semi-government and government (both State and Federal) levels
To raise funds to support the activities of the Foundation
To maintain an administrative structure to support the activities of the Foundation.
The Board
The Directors of the Board have a broad range of skills, experience and knowledge both serving as directors of the Deafness Foundation and in the field of Deafness and hearing impairment.

Deafness Foundation Trust
The Deafness Foundation Trust was launched in October 1993 with similar aims to the Foundation but with three significant differences:
1. All donations are held in perpetuity and only the interest is used
2. Has the right to raise and distribute funds outside Victoria
3. Administered by the Trust Company of Australia.
The Deafness Foundation Trust was wound up in 2012 and the investments were transferred to the Deafness Foundation. These have been deposited in a capital guaranteed fund where the income only will be available to the Foundation.
Our logo: The butterfly
Several years ago Judy Chancellor, one of our valued volunteers, was astounded when she learnt that butterflies were deaf. She thought the butterfly would be a wonderful logo for the Deafness Foundation in its quest to raise funds to help the Deaf and hearing impaired community. Judy also designed a butterfly badge, which has been marketed for numerous years and has become a major source of fundraising income. The popularity of these badges continues to grow each year and they have become a "collectors item" for many.
"Butterflies are deaf too!"

About Kim Russo
Psychic Medium Kim Russo has been able to see spirits since she was a young child. At night they would appear at the foot of her bed and during the day they walked her home from school. Growing up she was often confused and frightened so she made it her life's mission to become fluent in the language of the spirit world. Now she has become an expert translator and is not only comforted by their presence, but on some days she speaks more to them than she speaks to the living. Certified by the Windbrigde Institute, Kim believes in the energy of the Soul and has dedicated her life to tapping into that energy in order to help deliver helping and healing information for those of us left behind.

The current Summer and Fall 2016 schedule is available here.
Reminder: If the Madison City schools cancel for WEATHER, we will also cancel our classes for that day. If they merely delay two hours, we will still open at 10, and start our morning classes at 10.
We work hard to offer a variety of classes for homeschoolers in the time and space that Creative Learning Connection is available. But please understand that we are merely offering the space for these classes -- you, as a parent, are contracting with the individual teacher for their services. If you make a decision to enroll in a class, please understand that the requirements and expectations need to be worked out between the teacher, the parents, and the students. If you are ever unhappy with a teacher, we would like to know, so that we can keep that in mind for future arrangements we make (or don't make) with that teacher. But, please keep in mind, that we are not hiring these teachers -- you are. (On the same token, please be sure to pay your teacher(s) the agreed amounts...None of the teachers at CLC are charging much for their time and effort.)
We currently have one classroom here at CLC that we use for classes. If you would like to teach a class here, please read over our Policy for Teachers, and then contact Cathy at email@example.com .
We also try to keep an ongoing list of Opportunites Elsewhere. There is no shortage of great opportunites for homeschoolers in this area! If you know of something I should add to that page, please let me know at firstname.lastname@example.com.

American Poetry
"...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." - Jack Kerouac's On the Road
The Beats: A Graphic History tackles the generation of post-World War II writers who revealed an untold side of America while pushing censors' boundaries with their writing style.
"We are not impotent- we pallid stones.
Not all our power is gone- not all our fame-
Not all the magic of our high renown-
Not all the wonder that encircles us-
Not all the mysteries that in us lie-
Not all the memories that hang upon
And cling around about us as a garment,
Clothing us in a robe of more than glory."
---From "The Coliseum" by Edgar Allan Poe

For the second time in a month, passengers of Air India were stranded as a flight to Singapore was delayed by 24 hours due to shortage of pilots, causing confusion at the Mumbai airport, in the early hours of Wednesday. The flight, which was originally scheduled to take off at 12.05 am on Wednesday, was going to fly about 260 passengers. An Air India spokesperson said the flight will now take off at the same time on Thursday.
The flight, AI-342 from Mumbai to Singapore has been delayed due to crew constraints. The passengers booked on the flight have been provided with accommodation, the spokesperson said.
Last month, an Air India flight from Mumbai to Riyadh was delayed by over 20 hours due to staff crunch.The national carrier is facing an acute shortage of commanders as most have left the cash-strapped airline. Training has come to a standstill as there are no skilled pilots. There were about five senior pilots who were sacked during the agitation last year and have been trying to return to the company for some time now, but there has not been any response from the management, an Air India pilot said on conditions of anonymity.
Another Air India pilot, who did not want to be named, said the condition is likely to worsen as there are about 35 to 40 pilots who have applied to Gulf carriers and received offers.
People are in a wait-and-watch mode. We have not been receiving our flying allowances, which constitute 80 percent of our salaries, since June, and there are feelers that there could be a salary cut now, he added.

Many middle school and high school students are recent immigrants or long-term English language learmers who struggle with the academic language needed to read content-area textbooks and write papers for their classes. Likewise, many native speakers of English find content-area classes a challenge. Secondary teachers have little time to teach academic reading and writing skills because they must cover a great deal of content in their social studies, science, math, or language arts classes.

Blogger PR Pitches: What Makes You Open One?justicefergie
If you've been blogging for more than 11 days, chances are that you're on at least one PR firm mailing list (and if you're not, you just may want to count your blessings). I kid, of course. We all appreciate the opportunity to work with brands that we love and believe in, but good gravy do those pitches add up! I'm willing to bet that your inbox situation would make the average email user hyperventilate – and that PR pitches are probably 80% responsible.
Assuming you have other things to do with your day like, say, feed your children or call your mother, there's no possible way that you can open each and every pitch (and if you CAN, then let me know and we must Skype immediately). So how do you decide which ones to open for a deeper look and which get the immediate "delete"?
Let me tell you that what saves me is Google's Gmail interface. Not only can I see the email's Sender and Subject but I can also see the first sentence of the email (or at least most of it). It may not seem like a big deal, but it really is a game-changer. There mere opportunity to take a peek at the salutation of the email helps me to pare down my inbox quite a bit. Por ejemplo:
That's a goner. I can tell right away from the lack of a greeting that it's most likely a press release. Coupled with the fact that it's on a topic that's not a good fit for my blog, this particular message will get a quick delete. No offense to Jessica, of course. And that's not to say that I never open press releases, because I certainly do if it's a topic that resonates with me, but time is precious and in this particular case, I'll take the gamble of not opening it up in an effort to save time.
It's not foolproof, quite possibly minimally effective, and I definitely veer from it from time to time, but a visual filter is one of the ways that I manage the zillions of pitches my inbox. What methods do you use?

HURRELLCANE HITS THE COAST | The Gold Coast Titans have confirmed the signing of former Vodafone War...
5 hours ago
A former missionary will make his debut for the Brisbane Broncos in tomorrow night's NRL match against South Sydney at Telstra Stadium.
New Zealand Test winger Tame Tupou has been forced out of the Brisbane side by a knee injury. Tupou's been replaced by 21-year-old fellow Kiwi Fraser Anderson, the younger brother of New Zealand internationals Vinnie and Louis Anderson.
Anderson joined the Broncos this season after spending the past two years in the Philippines, serving as a missionary. Teenage forwards David Taylor and Joel Moon will also be making their debuts for the State of Origin weakened competition leaders.
Elsewhere, Paul Bowman has sent a massive scare through the North Queensland camp by failing to complete the Cowboys' final training session ahead of tomorrow's NRL clash against Cronulla.
Bowman left the club's training paddock with a back injury shortly before assistant coach Grant Bell called an end to the session. Bell says Bowman will be a certain starter against the Sharks but Ashley Graham could be brought up from Queensland Cup duties as a precaution.
The Cowboys will finalise their team later today with Ben Lowe or Daniel Strickland set to replace Maroons call-up Jacob Lillyman. Gavin Cooper will take Lillyman's starting spot in the club's back-row.

Philips joins The Climate Group's global coalition of leading businesses
- Date
- 09 July 2010
The announcement enhances The Climate Group's work to speed up the roll out of LED technology. Philips is already collaborating with The Climate Group on its 1000 Solar Village Project in China by donating solar powered LED streetlights to rural villages. In addition, several municipal governments participating in The Climate Group's LightSavers program have independently selected several Philips LED streetlight products for use in their trials. LightSavers is a global trial to test the efficacy and cost savings of outdoor LED lights in major cities around the world.
The announcement means the company will also add its expertise to further Climate Group work such as the Smart 2020 project, which aims to demonstrate how cities can become more energy efficient through the use of smarter, connected urban infrastructure and communications technology.
The announcement underlines Philips' commitment to environmental leadership and reputation as one of the world's foremost innovators in sustainable technology. Sustainability is a core part of the Philips' overall strategy and it recently set out ambitious new environmental targets: its new EcoVision 5 strategy aims, among other things, to see a 50 per cent improvement in the overall energy efficiency of its product portfolio, as well as double recycling amounts and recycled materials in its products by 2015.
Already a recognized global leader in LED technology, Philips is substantially broadening its LED product portfolio for both domestic and commercial customers. During 2010, Philips will announce a range of new outdoor luminaries designed to further the appeal and progress of outdoor LED lighting. The range will help customers significantly improve their energy efficiency and reduce their emissions, as well as bringing a variety of co-benefits such as improved road and pedestrian safety in cities and reduced night-time light disturbance.
Rudy Provoost, CEO of Philips Lighting, Member of the Board of Management of Royal Philips Electronics, and Chairman of the Philips Sustainability Board, said: "Philips has long shared The Climate Group's vision of a prosperous, sustainable and low carbon future for our economy and our planet, and advocates the provision of simple solutions with a lighter ecological footprint which improve people's health and well-being. We are very proud to be officially joining this great organization and we are looking forward to collaborating with The Climate Group and its members to really drive the development and deployment of smart, green technologies around the world."
Steve Howard, CEO of The Climate Group, said: "We are delighted to have Philips on board. Like The Climate Group, Philips is actively working to create the kind of livable and sustainable cities that will thrive as part of a future low-carbon economy and improve people's lives in the process. In joining our growing coalition of progressive businesses, it has further underlined its place as an environmental leader."

Cancel The Reservations
Boy am I going to surprise Shane tonight for dinner!
Thankfully, I was able to push up my client schedule, thanks to some flexible clients, and had about 45 minutes to get everything in order.
Shane is in class until 7:00ish tonight, and he made dinner reservations for 7:30 for our anniversary. If I know my husband, I know that after a busy weekend and a day full of work + night full of class, going out would be the last thing he really wanted. He made the reservations because it was our anniversary. Simple as that. But I know he'd rather stay in and relax.
So, I played the trickster and headed out to Fresh Market to get his absolute favorite steak ever. It's also the only time I'll spend $15 on a steak. Ever.
This "gift" was also numerically convenient because the traditional 3rd wedding anniversary gift is leather.
Get it???
Ok, fine. I'll let you in on my thought process. But be warned, it's a little twisted, especially for someone who hasn't eaten beef or chicken in more than two years. Steak comes from cows, which are also where leather comes from. So…it's leather. I know. It's creatively sick. Moving right along…
Along with the steak, I also picked up the works: appetizers of spinach artichoke dip and chips, main course of aforementioned steak and a twice baked potato, and then a choice of chocolate cake or an éclair for dessert.
(don't worry, I'll eat whichever one he doesn't choose )
I think this deserves a good wifey medal if you ask me.
And since a big steak isn't my cup of tea, I subbed out his main course for one that I haven't had in a very long time – sushi!
One thing I didn't do? Cook the steak – because, you know, I wanted it to actually taste good for him
I also set out a my gift to him and a bottle of wine:
Turns out, he had set up his card and a bottle of wine for me to come home too! Who knows…it could be a two-bottle night! Kidding, kidding.
Hopefully this change of plans turns out well! I'll let you know
Now it's just time to wait until he gets home from class. Eek! I think I'll occupy myself by catching up on all of your blogs
Have yourselves a lovely night, loves!
Which do you prefer: going out to a fancy dinner? Or keeping is casual in the casa?

College Hockey:MacVoy Scores Two as Lake Superior Sweeps Northern Michigan
Acton Adds Goal, Assist
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. — It's almost a shame that the Christmas break has arrived for the Lake Superior State Lakers.
On Saturday night, the Lakers completed their second weekend sweep in a row with a 6-3 victory over the Northern Michigan Wildcats. With the win, the Lakers have won four straight overall and have not lost a game in regulation time since a 4-0 loss at Nebraska-Omaha on Nov. 13. Since then, the Lakers have six wins, an overtime loss and a pair of shootout losses.
"I thought we played really hard all weekend," said Lakers' coach Jim Roque. "We did a great job on the penalty kill. (Assistant coach Tim Christian) actually did all the work on the PK this week."
Zac MacVoy led the Lakers' offensive attack with a pair of goals while Will Acton added a goal and an assist. Chad Nehring, John Scrymgeour and Rick Schofield also scored in the win.
Lakers' goaltender Brian Mahoney-Wilson stopped 28 shots in the win.
"I thought Brian was huge in the first period; he made two beautiful saves," said Roque. "He only had five shots (in the period) but he had two big saves to keep it 2-0."
Northern Michigan found themselves behind 3-0 by the midway point of the second period, but battled in the third period to make the game close. Jared Brown scored a pair of goals to cut the Lakers' lead to 3-2. After Scrymgeour made it 4-2, T.J. Miller cut the lead back down to one with just over seven minutes remaining. The Lakers scored a pair of empty-net goals in the final minute to seal the win.
"You have to give (the Lakers) credit," said Northern Michigan coach Walt Kyle. "They played really hard. Both nights, they took the game away from us in the first period. Tonight, we came back hard in the third period, but it was too little too late."
Goaltending was an issue in both losses for Northern Michigan. On Saturday night, Reid Ellingson got the start, but lasted just over half of the first period before being pulled in favor of Friday night's starter, Brian Stewart. Ellingson finished his night with eight saves while Stewart finished the night with 27 saves.
"(Goaltending) hasn't been an issue in the last six or seven (games), but it was a little bit of an issue this weekend," said Kyle.
Kyle went on to say that aside from Brown, he wasn't overly pleased with his players.
"I was glad to see Jared Brown get a couple tonight," said Kyle. "We rely on him to score and he's had a tough start. We need him to start putting some pucks in the net and he did that tonight. Hopefully that's a good sign for us, but after that, not really."
With the sweep, the Lakers improve their record to 10-7-3 (7-6-1 in conference). Northern Michigan's record falls to 6-8-4 overall (5-6-3 conference record).
The Lakers are now off until the January, when they open 2010 with a road series against Robert Morris University on Jan. 2-3. Northern Michigan has one game left before breaking for Christmas. They take on Michigan Tech at home on Dec. 18.

Park Tool BSH-4 Bladed Spoke Holder
The BSH-4 is a good little gadget to have on hand if you're building or truing a wheel with bladed spokes. It keeps the spokes from twisting and therefore losing their aero advantage.
The BSH-4 is notched to fit up four different spoke sizes, including big thick ones from Mavic and Fulcrum for example, and works equally well left or right handed.
Charles P said it right. If you don't keep an aero spoke from rotating while truing, it will eventually break. This is an absolutely necessary tool if you work on your own aero spoked wheels.
Those dang aero wheels! What a pain to true, the flat spokes always twist when you turn the nipples. This bad boy will hold the spokes and prevent the frustrating twisting. It has 4 different width of slots so it will work with different thicknesses of spokes. I use this in my left hand to hold the spoke still while spoke wrenching with my right hand. A little awkward but you'll get the hang of it. Made of plastic so it won't scratch the paint off the spokes (especially the fragile Mavic spoke finishes) and long enough to hold comfortably and give good leverage.

Come Thursday, All Eyes Will Shift to Boise
Until now, it's most been preseason in regard to litigation resulting from the BP oil spill. Yes, many many suits have been filed, but few have yet had the time to get off the ground.
All that will change on Thursday, when the regular season will begin in, of all places, Boise, Idaho. It's in Boise, which some have complained doesn't have a five-star hotel, that, as an LA Times article puts it on Wednesday, "an army of attorneys" will converge. The reason for the meeting: to argue to a panel of judges where all the cases should be collected and heard. Click here for an earlier LB post on the Boise meeting.
According to an NY Times article out Wednesday, the oil slick caused by the spill may be dissipating faster than many anticipated. Nevertheless, the largest oil spill in U.S. history has spawned some 250 class-action lawsuits, creating a legal battle that the LAT says could stretch on for decades.
So all eyes will be on the Idaho capital come Thursday.
The bulk of the suits have been filed by fishermen, charter operators, restaurants and property owners claiming financial losses. But the scope of the litigation goes well beyond those who claim the spill itself disrupted business.
In Boise, the arguments will be mostly about where the suits should be consolidated, and who should preside over them.
The LAT explains that those with seafood industry and marine services businesses devastated by the spill want their cases merged in New Orleans or Mobile, Ala., close to where they live and work. BP would like everything sent to Houston.
According to the LAT, some expect the judicial panel to split up the huge caseload. For instance, one judge might be assigned all the economic loss complaints, and others would oversee environmental claims, securities actions, RICO charges and the liability limitation efforts.
Once the issue of venue is decided, other issues will take over. Most of the cases are filed under the post-Valdez Oil Pollution Act of 1990. Although that statute caps a company's liability at a total of $75 million, it holds the firm responsible for paying unlimited cleanup and environmental restoration costs. However, if victims' attorneys can prove that BP and the others were grossly negligent, the liability cap comes off.
Will that finding get made? According to this Houston Chronicle piece, that question has split even executives at BP.

Oh Gaga…your attempt at a gay anthem has not yet worked. I challenge you to do better. And the thing is, some songs weren't even geared toward the gay community, but they were adopted as such. Whereas others – cough:::Kylie:::cough – were absolutely written for pride parades until the end of time.
Sure you may reference transgendered folk in your song, but you've not come close to these songs, which have been, continue to be, and will always be better anthems for the LGBTQ community…

Kelly to be elected Volusia County judge
Published: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 9:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 10:04 p.m.
Christopher Kelly is headed for a win in the county's only open seat for judge by more than 60 percent of the votes, according to preliminary election totals.
Adam Warren and Kelly competed for the seat created by County Judge Peter Marshall's retirement. If elected Kelly will serve for a term of six years with a salary of $134,280 annually.
Kelly said that as judge he will bring objectivity to each case, issue rulings in a timely manner and hear each case with respect. He attributed his likely win to grassroots organizing.
"I went anywhere I could and talked with anyone who would listen," he said. "My life has been about interacting with people and that's what we tried to do."
Kelly, 45, is a resident of Daytona Beach who previously was a managing assistant state attorney and served on the Daytona Beach Housing Commission.
Warren, 37, is a former assistant state attorney who resigned to run for office.

"Crimson Tide" (1995)
Yes, "Crimson Tide" is a Tony Scott film, very much so. But it may be remembered these days, at least to the obsessive film geeks of the world, for the contributions of uncredited co-writer Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino, a longtime Scott fan, was called in to punch up the dialogue after "True Romance" on this certifiably great submarine thriller that pits Denzel Washington against the power-mad captain played by Gene Hackman. The scenes that bare Tarantino's mark might as well be highlighted in blinking neon lights: an early scene in the film where the various crew members talk about their favorite submarine movies (in a wonderful bit of meta-textual knowingness); a discussion about which version of the Silver Surfer is better; and Hackman rattling on endlessly about different breeds of horses, a speech which has the flow of the famous "Sicilian" speech in the pair's earlier collaboration. As far as submarine movies go, "Crimson Tide" does a sturdy job: Scott choreographs the suspense sequences brilliantly (aided by claustrophobic cinematography by Dariusz Wolski) and emphasizes that the close-knit camaraderie that forms underneath the ocean can just as quickly curdle into something quite dangerous. It's also worth noting Scott's often unheralded genius at casting. Tucked beneath and around the cramped submarine sets are actors like James Gandolfini, Viggo Mortensen, Steve Zahn, and Ryan Phillippe. The ominous score by Hans Zimmer, while not quite as enthralling as Basil Poledouris' work for "The Hunt for Red October," was still enough to net the composer a Grammy for his work. [B+]
"The Fan" (1996)
Say this for Tony Scott's laughable suspense thriller: it improves upon the tawdy, overblown Peter Abrahams source material. Credit goes to the hyper-caffeinated director, who clearly knows how to mock the dead-serious atmosphere of the sports media, with Ellen Barkin as the overheated Ahab-with-a-notepad going after star athlete Wesley Snipes. Where it slips up is the portrayal of psycho fan Robert De Niro, who slowly sees his life unraveling as his favorite player struggles to acclimate to his new surroundings. As superstar Bobby Rayburn, Snipes is both a believable athlete and a credible dramatic presence, struggling under the weight of Barry Bonds-level expectations. But Scott's attempts to get into De Niro's inner turmoil by switching filters and blaring Nine Inch Nails on the soundtrack aren't exactly on the level of "Taxi Driver". "The Fan" remains a curiosity in that it revealed Scott's strengths in capturing the insane milieu of professional sports in lieu of insight into the mind of the average man. [C]
"Enemy of the State" (1998)
Political thrillers don't get much more live-wire and jacked-up than "Enemy of the State," a shiny, cool-blue, lightning-fast "man-in-the-wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time" movie which served as a critical and box-office comeback for Tony Scott after the drubbing he took for "The Fan". Mixing "The Conversation" with "The Parallax View" and adding in a few terrific car and foot chases with some stylish shoot-outs, "Enemy of the State" was the fifth collaboration between Scott and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and marked a more dramatically serious trend for the producer (films that immediately followed 'Enemy' included "Remember the Titans," "Black Hawk Down," and "Veronica Guerin"). Will Smith, fresh off the mega-success of "Independence Day," was perfectly cast as a hot-shot lawyer who inadvertently comes into possession of a video showing an evil U.S. Senator (Jon Voight, appropriately oily) masterminding a murder. Smith teams up with a reluctant ex-spook (Gene Hackman, terrific as always, doing a riff on his immortal character from "The Conversation") and goes head-to-head with the NSA in an effort to clear his name. The pacing of "Enemy of the State" is unbelievable as images and plot are hurled at the viewer. But what's amazing about that approach is that everything can be followed logically and coherently despite the frenetic nature of the filmmaking style. Scott, working with cinematographer Daniel Mindel (who also shot Scott's aesthetically groundbreaking "Domino"), put cameras in every corner of the room in "Enemy of the State," mixing various film speeds and stocks with an overall high-contrast, desaturated visual palette, resulting in a film that feels icy-hot to the touch. The camera never stops moving, never slows down, and never gets tired; it's energetic filmmaking to the max, especially when set to the rhythms of Harry Gregson-Williams' pulsating musical score. By the time the film reaches its thoroughly clever finale, in which Scott even cribs from himself ("True Romance," anyone?!), you can't help but feel out of breath and exhilarated. [B+]
"Spy Game" (2001)
What might be considered Tony Scott's last "straight" movie (read: not batshit), "Spy Game" is an unbelievably compelling tale of a retiring CIA Agent (Robert Redford) who has to use every trick in his not-inconsiderable playbook to successfully free an imprisoned agent (Brad Pitt) who also happens to be his protégé and close friend. Oh, and all of this on his last day of work. Nobody does the "ticking clock" quite like Scott, who installs not only a dramatic freeze frame but also a time stamp that practically smashes the screen apart. It's a fitting stylistic flourish, though, for a film that's all about time: the film shifts back and forth, liberally, from the modern day stuff with Redford running around his high tech office trying to make amends, cash in every favor he's collected, and block his superiors' boneheaded attempts at diplomacy, to various sequences of Pitt and Redford throughout their career (Vietnam, Cold War, etc). It's in these flashback sequences that Scott really shines, tasked with the double duty of creating captivating suspense set pieces while also delivering important character beats, and he pulls it off marvelously. While by no means a classic, it remains an under-seen gem, an intoxicating mix of spy-versus-spy conspiratorial atmosphere and Scott's go-for-broke edge-of-your-seat excitement that beats, for sheer white-knuckle intensity, the entire run of "24."

Hair dryers, also called blow dryers, use hot air to speed up drying of wet hair. They work by heating the surrounding air and concentrating it in a chamber, then blowing the hot air outward. They usually have temperature settings to help regulate heat and avoid scorching the hair. Hair dryers can also add volume to the hair when used with a styling brush. More advanced models have an ionizing feature, which blows negative ions over the hair to help retain its moisture.

Phoenix Coyotes to change name to Arizona Coyotes beginning 2014-15 season
GLENDALE, AZ - Beginning next season, the Valley's hockey team will sport a new name.
The Phoenix Coyotes will officially change their franchise name to the Arizona Coyotes at the start of the 2014-15 NHL season, the team announced Wednesday.
"Becoming the Arizona Coyotes makes sense for us since we play our games in Glendale and the city is such a great partner of ours," stated President and CEO Anthony LeBlanc. "We hope that the name 'Arizona' will encourage more fans from all over the state, not just the Valley, to embrace and support our team."
The Coyotes will introduce a new shoulder patch for the home and road jerseys as part of the name change. The rest of the Coyotes uniform will not change, according to the news release.
The team has been known as the Phoenix Coyotes since it moved to the Valley from Winnipeg in 1996.
They played their home games in downtown Phoenix until 2003 when they moved to Jobing.com Arena in Glendale.

No kidding about getting an "in" with Apple Valley. I was just looking through the InterMat rankings and Mark Hall, an 8th grader, is the 2nd ranked 145lb "high school" wrestler in the nation. I can maybe understand an 8th grader being ranked at 106lb or 113lb, but there is a lot of competition at 145lb.

by the way i live in Jordan
can i use this one
i want to give my phone to my father but he wanted the stock firmware i was going through the steps in this thread but the link was down then i went to those websites this and this but my country wasn't listed so which one should i download
by the way i live in Jordan
can i use this one
Totaly agree with ShltHappens, this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2060403 is very close to Samsung's stock (with no junk included), and it comes with a variety of modems to select in/after installation- so you won't be left with no reception...
Anyway, if you want a stock, not rooted rom, I suggest downloading one of those- they all should work in your region, and have buit-in support for Arabic UI & keyboard. (note- extract first, and be sure to flash using Odin 3.09):
India 4.3 (ML4- considered newest release): http://terafile.co/327097448989/I930...DDGML4_INU.zip
Israel 4.3 (MK7) : http://terafile.co/d32417976352/I930...JKGMK1_ILO.zip
Uk 4.3 (MK6- considered older): http://terafile.co/e5096e799622/I930...XAGMK6_BTU.zip
1)all of those roms are using new partition method called efsV2- so to prevent 'No Service' problems if a case you want to use older rom (like 4.1.2), make sure to use those newer (or equal) than I9300XXEMG4.
2)After flasing was complete, don't forget to do a 'wipe to factory mode' & 'wipe cache partition' in recovery mode in order to prevent aditional merging issues (I also recommend doing so before using Odin).
Good luck

Young Logan Fischer, 14 and an eighth-grader at Wauneta-Palisade Schools, has his future mapped out. He plans to make his future as a cattleman and he's on his way with the purchase of four first calf heifers.
"Ever since I was six, I've known I wanted to do this," Logan expressed.
Fischer's mother, Cindy, says Logan's been an animal person since he was very young. When he was just 7 or 8 they had pigs on the farm and Cindy said, "He was always out in the pen with them."
He's not afraid of the hard work it will take to make his new enterprise work either. He joyfully recites his daily routine caring for his animals.
In Fischer's words, "Anything agricultural, I'm in."
His parents admire his passion for animals and agriculture. "We're impressed with how he's always been so interested in animals. Now, it's rewarding to see him take responsibility for his cows and follow in our footsteps," Cindy expressed.
Fischer's parents helped him purchase four first calf heifers in December 2012 with New Standard and Hoover Dam bloodlines.
So far, his cows have dropped three calves, which Fischer plans to keep to help grow his herd. Eventually, he wants to raise cow/calf pairs.
His father, Gordon, has been his inspiration. Fischer's parents explained that he's going into this endeavor seeing all sides, both the good times and trying times on his parent's farm.
Logan applied for and received his own brand. His parents use the brand Cindy's parents, Wayne and Sharon Raasch of Champion used while she was growing up.
"It's heartwarming to see your kids carry on something you've done," Cindy said.
When asked of his future goal, Fischer smiles and says, "I want to take over my dad's operation." He's very clear, his plans are not to join his father in his endeavors, young Fischer is making plans to take over the operation, something that brought a smile to his mother's face as well.
Fisher's done his homework, talking to experienced cattlemen such as Jack Maddux and Jack Fanning about their operations. He's also done work for Fanning to help him learn the trade.
Fischer plans to use the money he earns from his cattle to help with various FFA expenses when he's in high school. He's already started mapping out what it will take to earn his state and national FFA degrees.
Dan Andrews, W-P's FFA advisor, has seen Fischer watching and learning from ag producers around him and appling it to what he's learning in class.
"Logan's excited about FFA. He wants to be involved in the contests and activities FFA offers," Andrews explained.
Andrews went on to say Fischer's new cattle herd will help him qualify for Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE), which will help him qualify for State and National FFA degrees. He said Fischer's new endeavor will, "blend right in" with his FFA and future goals where he will apply what he learns.
Cindy says Logan's interest in agriculture has encouraged him to look into different colleges and the various ag programs they offer.
He plans to attend either Colorado State University, Kansas State University or Purdue. Fischer's top college pick is CSU because of their broad array of ag programs.

Many psychics are able to make predictions about the gender of your new baby. But will they be right? You'll never know for sure. You might ask your friends and relatives what they think. Some will say it's a girl and some will say it's a boy. I suppose you could add up the votes and make a prediction based on how the majority voted. That's one way to do it, but what does it accomplish? You still won't know for sure.
What's the alternative? Get an ultra sound or just wait until the baby is born. It's only nine months. The ultra sound is attractive because you can start making plans before the baby is born. You might want to decorate the baby's room, buy clothes, etc. but if these are not too important to you why worry about it? Most parents are more concerned about having a healthy baby rather than gender.
You can spend money on psychics if you want, but I believe you're far better off with an ultra sound. As far as I know they're very safe. You can 'see' your baby and it's a wonderful experience to actually see your baby before he or she is born.
God Bless You

Madam President Doesn't Tweet Naked Photos
When I was ten, my best friend's mom was the smartest woman I knew. She was a 4'9" spitfire from New York City who wore a great deal of black along with a sophisticated perfume never before sniffed in my staid DC hometown. As a young woman, she'd been one of the early Peace Corps volunteers in Africa, and then written a best-selling memoir about the experience. A decade before I knew her, she had been suddenly widowed with two kids under two. She'd dusted herself off, put her grief aside to focus on her children, and eventually rebuilt her professional life as a speechwriter for President Jimmy Carter's wife. She used to take me and her daughter to the White House, where we played Spades in the East Wing hallway while she and Rosalind pontificated behind closed doors.
So I listened carefully the day she explained why a woman could never be the President of the United States. She looked me square in the face, put her hand on my forearm, and delivered the devastating news with confidence that communicated, "Even though you are ten, you are mature enough to handle this awful reality." She told me women could not be trusted with the stress and responsibility of international leadership because of how emotional and unglued we get during "that time of the month."
Now I laugh about the memory. I understand she was just echoing the pervasive, sexist wisdom of early 1970s America. I am certain even she came to realize what hogwash it was.
But through my tender preteen years, my idol's words stuck with me. Her logic struck me as illogical. I didn't know the word "sexism" yet, but I intuitively understood its destructive power.
I wish she hadn't died five years ago, because I'd love to hear her take on Congressman Anthony Weiner, Arnold Schwarzenneger, DSK and other male politicians tripped up by their sexual egos and today's unblinking media coverage. She'd probably say something as smart and funny as Leslie Bennetts' recently did in her Daily Beast evisceration "Politics and The Penis":
"Popular culture has always insisted that women couldn't be trusted in positions of power because their judgment might be addled by raging hormones. Oh, really? We're the ones who can't think straight because of sex hormones?"
Bennetts - a longtime Vanity Fair smartypants - goes onto explain:
"There are so many men whose names have been rendered punchlines by outrageous sex scandals that it's hard to remember them all, from Clinton to Ensign, Sanford, Hart, Schwarznegger, Spitzer, Craig, McGreevey, Strauss-Kahn, Berlusconi, Weiner -- the list goes on and on. Now try to think of women officials brought down by sexual derangement. But don't hold your breath; you might expire before you came up with one.

Border security reaches point of diminishing returns, says report
The United States has reached a point of diminishing returns when it comes to security deployments along the southwestern border, says a year-long study conducted by the Washington Office on Latin America and Mexico's College of the Northern Border.
The study (.pdf) notes that U.S. apprehensions of illegal immigrants on the border with Mexico have dropped to levels not seen since the early 1970s and that no member of a group on the State Department's list of Foreign Terrorist organizations has been detected attempting to cross the Mexico-U.S. border with intent to do harm.
"Only drug trafficking has continued unabated, calling into question the increased security presence's deterrent effect," the report states.
Violence caused by drug traffickers in Mexico has had little direct impact on public security within the United States, the report adds. Most American border cities, despite their location directly opposite Mexican cities that are the site of horrific drug cartel violence, are experiencing 50-year lows in homicides. In 2010, El Paso, Texas--just on the other side of the Rio Grande river from Ciudad Juarez, a city now infamous for the ferocity of its drug violence--had in 2010 the lowest homicide rate of all U.S. cites with more than 500,000 residents, the report adds.
Ranchers in remote areas do report feeling less safe, but drug cartels are in the curious position of having active diminishment of violence on the U.S. side of the border be in their best interest since spill over would undermine the flow of drugs.
In any case, most drugs aren't transported through the wilderness, but rather through official land ports of entry, the report says. Here, report authors note that the Customs and Border Protection components responsible for manning the ports, the Office of Field Operations has been underfunded relative to the Border Patrol, which operates between ports of entry.
"For political leaders, the image of agents sitting in booths at a port of entry is less compelling than that of roving Border Patrol agents in pickup trucks (or on horseback) guarding against terrorists, criminals and migrants," they say.
Overall, the rapid buildup of personnel and assets along the border has had negative consequences, the report says, adding that although it has had a deterrent effect on attempted illegal crossings, just as important as dissuading would-be undocumented aliens has been lower employment prospects in the United States and "the dangerous gauntlet of criminal organizations, kidnappers, and corrupt officials through which they must pass on the Mexican side of the border."
Among the negative consequences has been to create increased opportunities for recruitment among illegal immigrants and hastily-recruited Border Patrol agents by organized crime and abuse by border enforcement agents of undocumented aliens. The number of per capita deaths made during illegal crossing attempts is also on the rise, the report says.
Report authors also say the presence of the National Guard on the border could strike a bad precedent in creating a domestic role for the military. Defense officials themselves have expressed concern about deployments to the southwestern border, since border security isn't a core mission.
What's ultimately needed is a unified--and ideally binational--strategy, the authors conclude, one that would guide cooperation, intelligence-sharing, accountability, and humanitarian guidelines.
"It would fill a gaping vacuum left by today's fragmented approach that, though designed to detect terrorists and drug traffickers, mostly ends up targeting people who want a better life," the report states.

What's Your Political IQ? Results and Discussion
Yes, it was an easy quiz. Elementary, even. Yes, several of the questions are hardly "political". They had to include certain questions ("Mark Zuckerberg"?) so that certain segments of the population would register with a pulse.

text: I started to look for some of my past post and they are all over the place. I made a post yesterday that I tried to look up and I was on page 10 and still couldn't find it. I tried to go by the date and the dates are all over the place to. Any suggestions would be appreciated.


text: Well we ( Jonny Cabo and I ) finally made it down to Blythe, on the river, in Imperial valley to fish with my Dad. He is staying down there after recently recovering from acute leaukemia. Well recover is the wrong word he is in remission, most people his age, 77, don't stand a chance with this form of the disease. The fact that he was in great shape for his age meant they gave him a shot at chemo and life, as apposed to 3 to 6 weeks without chemo. Well the doctors, the chemo, his faith, his friends ( He had 11 in his hospital room when I showed up one day ) his family and whatever he has that has allways made him want to live and fish and laugh just pulled him through. So he is down where he grew up in Blythe hangin' with " the home town boys " which is a group of old friends in their 70s who fish and race quarter horses, drink bloody maries, search for gold in the desert, go out dancin, tell jokes and help each other get by at that age. So anyway we head down to visit the old bird and fish the backwaters of the Colorado. Cant say exactly where but you know the vicinity. Well it was a blast as usuall! Man I love it down there. I ended up being top dog with eight bass saturday up to four pounds ( released it ) kept five. Jon had one keeper and Dad two, plus some shortys let go. The boys are sick of watchin me on fire ( Gulp 7 in turtle back worm, bite off the top inch or so rigged to a custom bent Gamagatzu worm hook, six lbs vanish floro plus luck/skill? ) So Dad decides to go all everglades air boat on us, crashes through some tulies into his "crappie hole". Sure enough its a couple hundred foot long,open area five ft deep max. hidden back in the reeds.He ties on his crappie spinner jig thing, and first cast gets a blue gill. Gives one to Jonny to try, and Jon gets a couple nice size crappie. Too cool. Damn this is fun. I stay with worms for another bass, and just drink most of the beer, "You ladies enjoy your panfishin', hope your vaginas don't get chapped in this dry wind, tell me when you wanna man up and go fish for bass again" So anyway the wind comes up and we head back to town. Not really town but Dads friends farm, to fillet fish. The place is a little spookie. We saw fresh Chupacabra tracks one morning. Works done, lets walk over to the canal and wet a line. First cast with a Thomas Bouyant, BAM, smallmouth bass slams it! These fish are fun as hell! So catch a few of those, drink a few beers, warn Dad about the Chupacabra tracks we saw and hit the sack. Next morning go canal hoppin in the truck for a few more smallies and one largemouth, highlighted by Jons 17 inch, trophy smallmouth! (released) Whata fun time. Stopped in El Centro at Leti's on 4th ave for the best campenchanas(shrimp/octopus/oyster/avacadoetc,cocktail) You gotta try 'em. So thats it, long ass post I know, just wanted to kinda tell about my Dad and how much I love bein with him. Pat.

The Spencer County Lady Bears have struggled all season and the decision last week by two seniors to hang up their sneakers for the rest of the year wasn't exactly the news Coach Daniel Cox needed to hear.
Cox did not want to discuss the decision by seniors Chelsea Gross, the team's leading scorer, and point-guard Ashley Wiley, who last week announced they were quitting, other than to thank them for their efforts. "Both are great girls with wonderful futures ahead of them. I wish them nothing but good fortune and success," he said.
Ranked No. 1 a curse for Kentucky?
Such heresy. Might as well ask a Yankee if pin stripes are bad luck, or Crimson Tide man about an elephant. Kentucky fans consider No. 1 a divine right.
A few views from the sunny side of blue.
• Seven years since top spot rare air, and being the last unbeaten makes it doubly delicious.
• Taking an opponent's best shot is nothing new for Big Blue. Taking an opponent's best shot and making it shoot 30 percent is the proper antidote.
ROBIN BASS/The Spencer Magnet
After presenting the SCHS basketball team with their team of the week trophy, WLKY's Keith Farmer captures the celebration that later appeared on television.
Logan Dunbar's 1,000th career point came in familiar fashion. He battled for a rebound, fought off defenders and a foul under the basket and scored early in the fourth quarter in Thursday night's win over Trimble County to reach the milestone.
It was a fitting way for the junior to reach the mark, as the majority of his points have come in blue-collar fashion over the course of the last three years.
The Spencer County Bears continue to be one of the surprise stories in high school basketball, racking up two more victories last week to improve their record to 13-2 on the season with wins over North Bullitt and Trimble County last week.
On Tuesday, the Bears welcomed North Bullitt, a team they had already played twice on the season, splitting games with the Eagles.
Kentucky basketball climbed to the pinnacle this week.
Polls. Associated Press, USA Today, Sagarin, pick a poll. Forget unbeaten Texas.
Any poll without Kentucky at the top, goes begging for credibility.
Here's why. Last Sunday, UK's coaches, players, former players, boosters, and local television, put 18-0 and adulations aside and raised more than a million dollars for Haiti relief.
"It's emotional," John Calipari said. He's right.
The Spencer County Lady Bears had a tough week, dropping two lopsided decisions and now face a tough four-game road stretch.
The girls welcomed Bullitt East to Taylorsville on Wednesday, only to fall to the 6th region power by the score of 56-17.
All who pass this way leave a mark if only a bad tattoo. A few stay awhile and leave an indelible one. Rich Brooks did.
Those who coach football at Kentucky don't stay long or they dig fox holes, wear combat helmets and deal with ghosts of disasters past ... Hal Mumme, John Ray ... Bill Curry.
Brooks climbed out of his fox hole last week, took off his helmet, gave us a sunshine smile, hugged the Missus and said he was retired.
