Cult of Personality? What Cult of Personality?
For only $35.00 you too can own a print of the Obama Flag. The (sic) artist who designed this calls it, signficantly enough, Our Stripes. Go here to the official Obama Store to see it in all of its native glory before one of the less crazed acolytes of the Southside Messiah decides to take it down. The bizarre cult-like atmosphere that surrounds Obama is like nothing ever seen before in American political history, and it is a disturbing development in our society.
Update 1: Go here to see a short visual history of the creepy Obama Cult.
Update 2: The Obama flag print is gone from the Obama store. I assume now it will be reserved for only the high initiates of Cult Obama.
11 Responses to Cult of Personality? What Cult of Personality?
The cult of personality is a trademark of autocratic regimes, and is particularly prevalent in modern times with those that have no meaningful religious basis. With respect to leftist Democrats though they tend to view all their pols as fit objects for hagiolatry. If one views the government as the source of all that is wise and good and not to be questioned, it's quite reasonable to venerate its ministers who deliver the "goods".
I wonder if the Arab Street will be outraged when YouTube posts a thousand videos of guys burning "Obama Glory."
"One Nation Under Obama!"
New Liberal catholic prayer suggestions:
The Obama Noster
The Hail Obama
Praise Obama, O my Soul
Act of Obama
The Obama's Creed
Hail Holy Obama
Remember, O most Gracious Obama . . .
Obama conceived we know where no pray for us who are about to be ruined.
Do you think many fans of Obama make the connection to Isaiah 53?
Sovereign personhood is who we are. Personality is where we are going.
Every man's Personality is the sovereign person's response to his sovereign personhood, a sovereign personhood endowed by our Creator to His creatures, a sovereign personhood endowed through the rational, immortal human soul at the newly begotten, innocent virgin's beginning of Life, in Liberty and this person's pursuit of Happiness, his destiny. Man's Personality is the result of man's sovereign personhood. Personality is the outward sign of the exercise of the human being's unalienable rights endowed by our Creator, man's free will, man's conscience, man's intellect, man's ability to love, to reason and to live. Personality begins at the beginning of life. Without the acknowledgment of the Creator's endowment of the human soul and sovereign personhood, the personality is an artificially manufactured idol to be imagined by extremely insulated, indoctrinated, intelligent individuals who have relegated their reason to lower realms.
In the American Flag, the blue is sovereignty, the stars are the states, the red is courage, the white is purity. Obama's flag is stripped naked of sovereignty, all 57 states, the red is abortion and the white is contraception, the vacuum of purity, the black hole of servitude, the sucking down the United States symbolized by the swirling circle in the upper left quadrant.
If O loses the election (and he will), he can always move into Moon's job, right? Isn't that succession unstable?
Go see Gateway Pundit blog and see how the red stripes on the zero flag resemble the bloody stains on the wall of the US Embassy in Libya.
Hey, I thought it was Republicans who always wrapped themselves in the flag. Isn't that what the press tells me?
"Hey, I thought it was Republicans who always wrapped themselves in the flag. Isn't that what the press tells me?"
Yeah, but now these are "OUR Stripes" now.
(Harking back to the late Ron Silver who, while attending the first Clinton inauguration, was angry to see military jets flying overhead – until he realized that "Those are OUR planes now." Ironic that he later became a big backer of Bush's military policy following 9/11, and even spoke at the 2004 GOP Convention – although one of his last political acts before passing away of throat cancer was to vote for Obama.)
I remember him telling Lech Walesa that the Reagan and Bush administrations oppressed the arts. (Feel free to reread that sentence.) Sure, he did have his 9/11 change of heart, but to me it just felt like he was being a self-righteous jerk on a different side.
Obama did not build that, your tax dollars did. Read the fine print under the posters to learn the names of the graphic artists. Obama makes my great-granchildren pay for Solyndra but he does not secure the blessings of Liberty for us. Why is that?

NATHAN Chambers produced an inspired spell of death bowling as a disciplined performance in the field saw Netherfield maintain their season's perfect Twenty20 record.
Needing six from the final ball to claim victory, Penrith tail-ender Joe McKinley lofted Chambers to Ben Barrow on the long-off boundary as Netherfield edged a vital win.
Opener Ryan Carruthers proved the main Penrith threat with a powerful 44 as Mark Clarkson, Tom Williamson and Brad Earl all took two wickets apiece as the visitors fell five runs short.
Only skipper Marc Brown made a significant impact as the hosts posted 108-9 from their 20-over allocation, with Karanjit Bansal's off-spin returning figures of 2-7.
Electing to bat first, Netherfield started in determined fashion with Ben Phillips taking fours off the first and final deliveries of Paul Hindmarch's opening over.
A third boundary followed to deep backward point before the Australian fell for 19, clean bowled as he looked to heave former Parkside Road all-rounder Greg Hall over mid-wicket.
From this point runs slowed as Jonathon Osborne and Bansal combined to strangle the innings, with the latter snaring Saliya Saman with his first ball, caught and bowled for two.
Bansal, who has played second XI cricket for Nottinghamshire and Worcestershire, then claimed the wicket of John Huck, who picked out Carruthers at long on to depart for one.
At the halfway stage Netherfield were 40-3, with Ben Barrow the next wicket to fall in the eleventh over, run out for 11 after a sharp piece of fielding by Hall.
Brown once again showcased his credentials in the shortest form of the game, smashing Nicky Burns for successive fours through mid-wicket with an improvised reverse sweep bringing a further boundary off Hall.
The 26-year-old then clobbered a six over the square leg boundary before Joe Atkinson departed for nine after top-edging to wicketkeeper Kieron Trevaskis.
A further maximum followed off Burns before Brown holed out to Bansal at mid-wicket, with Williamson edging the same bowler to deep gully for three.
Clarkson and Chambers fell in the final stages of the innings as Netherfield set Penrith 109 to win, with the visitors refusing to hang around in their bid to keep their T20 campaign alive.
Carruthers took centre stage, swatting Saman and Clarkson for straight sixes as well as fours square of the wicket and through extra cover, with Penrith 30-0 off four overs.
Clarkson returned to bowl Bansal for five with the right-arm seamer also dismissing ex-Netherfield and current Cumberland batsman Alex Atkinson without scoring.
Hindmarch bludgeoned a six off Williamson before the slow left-armer had his man as the Tynefield Park professional top-edged to Clarkson at mid-wicket.
Williamson, who returned 2-17 from four overs, then dismissed Burns for one as fellow spinner Earl removed Hall, caught by Chambers at backward square leg for a duck.
With the score 58-5 after ten overs, Osborne hammered a six off Earl before Penrith suffered a major blow as Carruthers clipped the returning Saman to Phillips at mid-wicket to depart for 44.
Osborne was next to go, caught by Chambers off Earl – who finished with 2-19 – before Ben Davidson and Tony Threlkeld added a valuable 15 runs.
Chambers dismissed Threlkeld for the first of his three wickets, which meant Penrith required 15 from 12 balls, as Davidson and Trevaskis took six from the Saman's 19th over.
After taking four runs from as many balls in the final over, a mix up saw Trevaskis stumped by Huck, which left McKinley with one ball for six with Davidson stranded on 12 at the non-striker's end.
Despite a clean contact, McKinley picked out Barrow on the long-off boundary to give Chambers his third victim and keep Netherfield on track to retain their TWP Wealth Trophy crown.

Also, in your first example, just maybe my intention was to snap the puck into the corner in hopes it goes to Willus. I am just as responsible for setting up the goal regardless of weather it takes a goofy bounce or not.I am very much oppossed to making lunatic changes to our game. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. They have messed it up enough already. I have always been a little worried when I see people talking about change such as the gist of this topic. I believe that if there is smoke, sometimes there is fire and I would be extremely happy if I never hear of this inane topic again. In my humble opinion this game of ours has got along just fine before Bettman and his band of cheesecakes started tinkering with it the last few years. The only change I want to see is a change back to the way it was. Hey, I got an idea, let's make the nets bigger? Why not? We have soccer shootouts don't we and you can still get a free point for losing the game. If those aren't ridiculous enough, why don't we just weld six foot pipe extensions on top of the goal posts and if you miss the goal and the puck goes through the extensions we award a half point, but no assists. Get my point? Where does this nonsense stop?

Too many bogus second assists are given out now, that you rarely see a goal without two assist on it.I agree with keeping the second assist for the purpose of comparing players within different generations, but did they hand out second assist like this back in the 80's....they sure didn't...so how comparative of a stat is it really?

Few people had heard of the group known as ISIS when the St. Ambrose Middle East Institute was unveiled last spring.
The newest layer of conflict in Iraq only serves to heighten the importance of the MEI, said Ryan Dye, the Institute's director and the director of the SAU Center for International Education.
"We can no longer say, 'Well, it was just 9-11' or 'It is just Iraq,"' Dye said of the implications of Middle East tensions on life in middle America. "The issues impacting the Middle East will continue to impact our community for generations to come. And we need to become better informed as a community about what is going on and how we can shape change there."
An informal gathering at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 17, in the dining room of the Figge Art Museum in Davenport will help the public learn what the Middle East Institute is and can be, Dye said. As importantly, the opening event of the MEI's inaugural fall semester will give the public a chance to influence future programming and areas of focused study.
"It is very low key," he said. "The Institute's advisory council wanted to get feedback from the community on topics of interest related to the Middle East. We also wanted to remind people we are here and that we have some exciting events coming up."
The Fall 2014 agenda also includes a pair of roundtable discussions. The first, on Sept. 24, will commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War I and examine how decisions made during and after the war continue to impact modern-day conflicts in the Middle East. The second, on Nov. 6, will enlist SAU students and community residents of the Muslim faith in a forum intended to help others better understand their perspectives and experiences.
"That is a need reflected at St. Ambrose, where we have an increasing number of Muslim students," he said. "We want to seize opportunities as the come."
The anchor event of the fall schedule will be a film festival conducted over six nights at three sites from Oct. 15-24.
The St. Ambrose Middle East Institute Film Festival will highlight the artistic perspectives of filmmakers from Israel, Egypt, Iran, Palestine, Tunisia, Lebanon, Syria and the United States.
Among the scheduled films are award winners from the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival and the 2012 London Palestine Film Festival.
Screenings will be held at Rozz Tox in Rock Island, the Figge and the Rogalski Center on the St. Ambrose campus. All sessions are free and open to the public.
Dye said the film festival is in keeping with an Institute goal to showcase the region's art. Yet, while several of the chosen films show there is more to the Middle East than ethnic and religious conflict, he noted that three nights of the six-night festival will feature films about war.
"That is unavoidable, I'm afraid," he said. "It is the reality in a part of the world where you don't have a lot of stability right now and where you essentially haven't for 100 years."
In March and April, the Middle East Institute will welcome its first visiting scholar. Hamideh Sedghi, PhD, is an accomplished author whose work includes Women and Politics in Iran: Veiling, Unveiling and Reveiling. In keeping with the 2014-2015 Exploring Gender project series, Sedghi will give an April 6 public lecture titled Engendering Politics in the Middle East. She also will host a half-day symposium on April 25.

The Oppenheimer Group expects to double its northwest cherry volumes this year.
Vancouver, British Columbia-based Oppenheimer traced the growth to two growers, The Dalles, Ore.-based Orchard View Farms and Milton-Freewater, Ore.-based Blue Mountain Growers. This is the third year Oppenheimer is marketing Orchard View cherries, the first year it is marketing Blue Mountain cherries, said Karin Gardner, Oppenheimer's marketing communications manager.
Because Blue Mountain harvests early in the season and Orchard View late, the addition of the growers will help Oppenheimer provide its customers with consistent volumes from mid-June to mid-August, David Nelley, the company's apple, pear and cherry category director, said in a news release.
Orchard View is known for large, sweet cherries that are perfect for exports, Nelley said. Blue Mountain Growers is a cooperative that produces newer varieties with long shelf life in small orchards.

Bonnie Brownlee and Bill Fox have never led what you'd call conventional lives. Her career as a broadcast executive and public relations specialist and his work as a journalist, author and business executive have meant almost constant travel – and homes in Ottawa, Boston, New York, Montreal and London (with royal hobnobbing along the way).
But the couple shares similarities with those at a mid-life crossroads. Neither has retired – far from it, in fact – yet their work-life priorities have evolved into a more stable, less demanding existence. Their three adult children have established lives of their own, and after a half-century of acquiring things, a reverse nesting process has taken hold of the couple, creating the need for a more refined, not to mention redefined, living space.
Almost any other couple would trade off a large house for a more compact condo. But Brownlee and Fox's jet-setting lifestyle meant straddling a series of pieds-à-terre. So when Brownlee took a job at CTVglobemedia, instead of settling down, the two actually settled up – for a real, honest-to-goodness home.
They acquired a seventh floor unit in the Phoebe, a mid-rise by Diamante Development near the corner of Queen West and Beverley streets. Although Brownlee loved the area's bustle and vibe, she initially found the condo too constricted for socializing.
Shortly after moving in, the adjacent south-facing condo went on the market, and the pair entrusted local design firm and residential specialists Reigo & Bauer to merge the two units into one. "I was very impressed by them," Brownlee says. "I like modern, but they're ultra-modern. They pushed me forward, and I liked the change."
Reigo & Bauer broke the newly combined 3,000-square-foot space into public areas (dining and living rooms, even the kitchen) that would lend themselves to get-togethers and dinner parties, as well as more intimate spaces (the master bedroom, den and library) where the couple could cozy up and wind down. Fitting this plan into a U-shape floor plan, which boasts a stunning 150 feet worth of continuous floor-to-ceiling windows, was a challenge on several levels. "We made a point of keeping the glazed perimeter uninterrupted," says designer Merike Bauer. "It's really quite an impressive feature when you walk into the space, and it offers light throughout the day."
The designers relocated long air ducts away from the windows, cleaning up a mess of overhead mechanicals, while removing walls and tucking roller blinds and a series of seamless sheers into a new recessed cove. The sheers run in a continual gossamer line from the master bedroom, at the western tip of the unit's U, to the secluded guest suite at its eastern tip – a magnificent feat in itself, and one that sets up an appropriate balance between complete openness and more intimate divisions. Individual "rooms" have been formed through strategically placed free-standing walls, and a subtle ceiling-scape of varying dropped levels and incised planes.
The 900-square-foot dining and living room allows guests to drift unimpeded from one area to another, enjoying the 60-foot balcony with its spectacular view of quaint Victorian rooftops and Queen Street West beyond. "I wanted to be downtown," says Brownlee. "We like the noise, actually. Especially after living in New York, we're used to it."
For the couple's monthly dinner parties and occasional cocktail get-togethers, the dining room features a custom table surrounded by Arper swivel chairs and twin chandeliers by British designer Nigel Coates. A kitchen designed for flexible food service is located behind one of the free-standing walls.
The condo also includes quiet nooks where Fox can write and read: the den and library-cum-home office near the U's eastern bend lie isolated behind sliding glass partitions that let light in and keep sound out. Equally serene is the master bedroom, where another wall, covered in black-and-green velvet brocade, acts as a stunning headboard, with a makeup room for Brownlee nestled behind. Clear glass between the bedroom and ensuite allows Brownlee and Fox the luxury of natural lighting as well as a tubside view of their plasma TV.
Blending old with new, and formal with informal decorative elements, the condo's styling represents a dynamic hybrid of Brownlee and Fox's sophisticated tastes, combined with the contemporary edge of Reigo & Bauer. Brownlee did, however, insist on keeping as part of the mix her carefully chosen "bits," which each represent a chapter in her and Fox's life story: a small barnboard cabinet bought at Robert Redford's Sundance Ranch; a brandy snifter that Prince Andrew pilfered for her in Buckingham Palace; and a five-foot-tall painted plywood cow named Betsy, an anniversary present from Brian and Mila Mulroney. Behind each item lies an engaging tale. And, as Brownlee says, she and Fox just happen to be great storytellers.
"Moving forces you to cull your possessions," she says. "But I've found it very therapeutic. I categorize and prioritize things now; the personal story behind an item makes it most valuable."

The idea is to have a place that all of the trails, events, parks, etc are all kept in one place and thus easy to find. I even put a weather link in.
I made it at a pretty cool site called Squidoo. All of the advertising on the page is built in by Squidoo. It generates royalties and I've submitted that any made by my pages are to be donated to charity.

Black Dragon's Brother also referred to as "Hidden Dragon" (伏龍, Fukuryū) is a blind character and exclusive in the manga Saint Seiya. He also wears a Black Dragon cloth.
History Edit
While the enconter of Dragon Shiryū Vs. Black Dragon Shinadekuro inside the Mt. Fuji caves, the "Hidden Dragon" acts as a hidden shadow aiding his brother to locate his target while Shinadekuro was blended in the darkness. Because of his blindness, the "Hidden Dragon" sense of hearing was fortified. But he dies quickly by one blow at the first instance Shiryū noticed him.
Anime Version Edit
On episode #13, the Black Dragon's brother was removed from the storyline and the events of that fight were moved to a snowfield on the "Phantom's Hill" (a fictional place setted by the writers).
Side Stories: "Nebula Chain: Chain of Brothers" Edit
Under Takao Koyama's script, in the Jump Gold No 1, Side Story #1 the Black Dragon's brother along with his twin brother and comrades put Andromeda Shun into real difficulties.

Bridge Over Troubled Water - Finding Solace in a Record
Updated 12:16 pm, Tuesday, April 23, 2013
Like most individuals, I was extremely troubled by the events that transpired at the Boston Marathon. I found myself searching for something that would make me feel better, something that would be soothing. Nothing seemed to help until I listened to the Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel album, Bridge Over Troubled Water. Though released in 1970, it seems to provide relevant messages for these times. All of the lyrics, with the exception of the cover of an Everly Brothers song, were written by Paul Simon. Here is a track-by-track look at the album, starting with lyrical excerpts.
"When you're down and out. When you're on the street. When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you/I'll take your part. Oh, when darkness comes. And pain is all around ... Your time has come to shine. All your dreams are on their way."
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" - This is a song about human beings facing crisis. In times of crisis, we need the better humans among us, or guardian angels, to rise and protect us. We saw both the best and worst of humanity in Boston. The song reminds us that a better day is on the way.
"I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet. Yes I would."
"El Condor Pasa (If I Could)" - Paul Simon added lyrics to a Peruvian/Andean song. In its way, it celebrates multiculturalism, like the national flags that lined the end of the Boston marathon course near the finish line. We will find strength in diversity.
"Cecilia, you're breaking my heart. You're shaking my confidence daily."
"Cecilia" - The protagonist of the song comes face-to-face with life's imperfections. He loves a girl who is unfaithful to him, she shakes his confidence daily. While our own sense of confidence was shaken and bruised by recent events, the music's energy reminds us of the simple joy of life and living. The sun rises tomorrow morning over Boston.
"Home is where I want to be."
"Keep the Customer Satisfied" - The traveling performer wants to return home. Boston has served as a second home to many college graduates, for whom the bombings - as President Obama expressed - felt quite personal. The senselessness of events made us feel exhausted like the traveling troubadour.
"I can't believe your song is gone so soon."
"So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" - This is a song that feels both like a dream and its conclusion. It signals the end of something, perhaps the end of the days that we take safety at sporting events for granted.
"He carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down."..
"The Boxer" - The people of Boston may get knocked down, but they get back up.
"I wonder how your engines feel?"
"Baby Driver" - This is Simon's song about his family in which he pays tribute to sports, in the form of auto racing. Life and athletic competition will go on.
"Half of the time we're gone and we don't know where."
"The Only Living Boy in New York City" - The song is about isolation. No doubt some Bostonians, in virtual lock-down for days, felt like the only living man or woman in the city.
"Something is wrong and I need to be there."
"Why Don't You Write Me" - We all feel apprehension over events we cannot control.
"Hello loneliness, I think I'm going to cry ... Hello emptiness."
"Bye Bye, Love" - Tears and hollow feelings ruled the day. The loss expressed in this song was echoed in the pain felt by those mourning the three persons killed in the bombings.
"Ask me and I will play all the love that I hold inside."
"Song for the Asking" - The nation displayed its love for the city and people of Boston during this fateful week.
"Sail on by. Your time has come to shine. Your dreams are on their way." (Title track)
Sail on, Boston.

Guest Post: Sam Bottell - Petroceltic: a buying opportunity?
I spent two years working along Sam Bottell as he worked with minesite.com and oilbarrel.com and he is a good, honest and clever chap. Now that he is starting his career freelance writing as well as an organiser of the UKInvestor Show I have no hesitation in helping him along via this blog as a guest contributor. As such I bring to your attention a share sell tip from TradingResearch Point on Ireland based Petroceltic
2013 was meant to be the year when Petroceltic moved on from corporate activity (the purchase of Melrose) to exploration success and so it is rather disappointing that it has started the year with a duster in Egypt. With sentiment towards the oil mid caps and juniors already somewhat dampened by drill bit failure elsewhere (notably with a range of Falklands stocks HERE) it is not surprising that this news has not been received well. Whilst serving as a reminder that exploration is inherently risky this does not alter the strong buy case for this Ireland based firm.Read the full article on TradingResearchPoint | Comments

Getting all colonial in Union Square, watching crabs rut in Marine Park, letting go of fancy F-train plans in the Slope, and busting the gays in Forest Hills. All that and more in our week's-end boroughs report.
ScarJo buys a Sutton Place postwar, Billyburg and Greenpoint wait for their parks, and guilty liberal Slopies' rage toward Greenpeace panhandlers finally boils over. That and more in today's boroughs report.
It's yet another setback for the barely breathing New York competition barbecue circuit: Grillin' on the Bay, the city's only Kansas City Barbecue Society–sanctioned contest, which had been planned for this summer at beautiful Kingsborough Community College in Sheepshead Bay, is off. Kingsborough rescinded its invitation, organizers say, leaving them only a few months to find a new location for dozens of teams and their mobile barbecue pits. One alternate being considered is Floyd Bennett Field, an empty expanse south of Marine Park in Brooklyn. We'll let you know the confirmed time and place when we hear it.

I was cautiously optimistic when I ordered these, you can't really know how they are gonna look and work until after you've ruined a set of throw-over bags. I say ruined because you have to cut and drill the bags to mount on these brackets. But I wasn't disappointed. The fit is perfect on my 99 Night Train. Initially one side went on/off hard because of the thickness of the paint on the bracket, but after I repeatedly put it on/off and wore off the trouble spot they give me no trouble. The mounting hardware that remains on the bike when the bags are off is not necessarily great looking, but it's not bad.
The Easy Brackets Saddlebag Mounting System is both very good and very bad. The bracket is solid and well built with a good design. The lock that keeps it on the bike is very poor in quality. It is so cheap in quality that the metal of the lock craters which allows your saddlebag to fall off the bike. It ruined my $400.00 saddlebag. I recommend buying the bracket but also recommend replacing the cam-lock with a better quality lock. I used a lockcraft cam-lock and spent about 30 minutes with a file modifying the original locking arm to fit the larger/stronger cam-lock. Well worth the time as I now have a very solid lock and a great saddlebag bracket.

With Schultz Academy's loss to Clearwater Chargers, the Red Bulls' U-15/16s are the only undefeated team left out of the 148 teams participating in the 2008-09 Academy.
The Red Bulls beat PA Classics, 2-0, on goals by Sam Adjei and James Raytsin set up by Oscar Gonzalez and Victor Manosalvas, respectively.
In the 1-0 victory over FC Delco, Gonzalez scored a great goal from 25 yards out on a pass from Paul Ehrenworth.
"We had a lot of different guys help us this weekend," said U16 coach Rob Elliott. "We put together some very good soccer this weekend and were able to limit chances from both PA Classics and Delco."
The Red Bulls' U-15s and U-14s, who are coming in the new Pre-Academy League, will be off to Spain on Sunday to compete in the Mediterranean International Cup against some of the top youth teams in the world, including Manchester United, FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, the Brazilian national team and the Mexican national team.

The Henderson County Board of Commissioners is engaged in the highly politicized process of renovating a local landmark -- the 1905 courthouse.
County government and a cultural museum are to occupy the Main Street building when it is finished in two years.
The $9.2 million process has drawn support and criticism from many quarters, including volunteers that participated in a 2003 renovation planning process.
What's new: On Dec. 5 commissioners decided unanimously to add a $100,000 community room -- next to the upstairs courtroom -- where government meetings will be held. Judy Abrell, a member of the non-profit Courthouse Corporation charged now with raising private funds to supplement county dollars, said the change addressed one of the priorities of the 2003 volunteers -- "retaining a view to the west and (the) ability to see the mountains."
But other volunteers, such as Hendersonville architect Ken Gaylord, said the new plan falls short. Two years ago, volunteers proposed a 1,000-square-foot room and the leveling of the courtroom next to it. The new plan shows a narrow community room isolated from the courtroom, he said.
"The latest design accomplishes very little of what the 2003 design accomplished," Gaylord said.
What's next: The additional room will bump the renovation price up to $9.3 million and the finish date back six weeks. A grand opening is now scheduled for Dec. 2, 2007.

Our famlily of 4, including 2 teenagers, spent a glorious week at the end of July in this wonderful cabin. The weather was a nice break from the the Texas heat and we all enjoyed the golf, scenery, wildlife and drives to nearby areas. We're already planning return trips during different seasons so we can experience this wonderful place at all times of the year.
Great cabin, well laid out with almost everything you'd need. The place itself is peaceful and beautiful even "off season." Owner was polite and gave excellent directions. I would definitely recommend to others!!
A group of four stayed in the cabin last week while hunting in the area. We found the cabin to be in excellent condition when we arrived. It was well supplied with basic items that you normally do not have in a rental such as paper products, cooking goods, etc. We felt more like we were borrowing a friend's place rather than renting.
The local information provided was thorough and the instructions for all aspects of the cabin were accurate and easy to follow.
My only issue was that I didn't get to play the course, which looked to be very nice and challenging.
Hopefully we can make the trek back to this area in the future and this cabin will be the first thing I check into.
Taylor, Dyersburg TN
Very comfortable cabin located in a beautiful area of the Pecos with easy access to golf and hiking. Has all the amenities included. Very helpful owner who accommodated are departure time
Our second time at this home and third annual golf weekend. Great place next to the golf course and overlooking a pond. Always enjoy staying here. Very comfortable and plenty of room with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large open floor plan. Nice deck off dinning area with grill makes for a fun cook-out, of which we did one night. Customer service is very good also. Got a call a couple days before to make sure we were good to go and if we needed any additional accommodations. We'll be back again next year for our annual Pendarieculous golf weekend.
Listing description was accurate regarding location and layout. Beautiful surroundings, nice TV sets, good communication, excellent dish washer, glass wear. Knives are dull, utensils are not bad.The house needs a VERY professional cleaning (from the top to the bottom including walls). It is in general dirty and shabby. Many unnecessary things, draws are full of junk. Closets are filthy, towels and bed linen are very old. The same with the furniture. If you have allergies, it is not the place to spend your vacation. Smell of mold and something unpleasant. If you are not a golf player or you do not fish, choose any other place. No activities except walking around. the owner was cooperative and helpful. However my family will not return to this particular house. It must be thoroughly cleaned and better maintained.
I don't ever write reviews, much less bad ones, but the nauseating smell of black mold and dander is so thick and nasty in the bedrooms, bathroom and closets on the lower floor of this place that it isn't fit for homeless squatters, let alone paying customers. You can see the black mold on the roof beams and crevices in places. Whoever's making passive income exposing people to that (they know who they are) is beyond shameless. The place oughta be demolished, no joke. On the plus side it'd be very hard for this damp heap to catch fire.

As an individual who has a family member with schizophrenia I find "the mean duration of 132 days" used in this study to be a severe limitation on its validity. Dr. Birnbaum's critical observation was that such a time period should be "months if not years." My personal feelings, for anti-psychotics in particular, that should... be years if not decades. Is it not commonly assumed that weight gain to obese levels (as side effect on widely prescribed anti-psychotics) and the stress that places on bodily systems has been proven in to shorten life span?.
So far my bmi is 50 and I am 50 and healthy . Been on meds for 28years and counting!.
Bonnie Camo MD
Another misleading headline. How can you say psych drugs don't raise death risk when "The majority of the studies included in this paper were of 3 to 4 months' duration". This says nothing about the long-term effects of these medications on the brain and the body..
john min, dc
Just more non-news, non story. Who takes psych meds for 3-4 months? And was this 'paper' saying that their analysis showed that the new and improved psych drugs had half the mortality of patients on placebos? Does that indicate to you that they 'save' lives or that the patients on placebos killed themselves at twice the rate during this 3-4 mo period? What is the point of this paper? Obviously there has to be some real studies done over much longer periods of time before one could say anything about these new drugs. .

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/8/2012 (1817 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I have disappointing news for you today.
Winnipeg isn't home to the worst speed traps in North America, never mind Canada.
At least, that's according to a highly unscientific survey of data from a website called The National Speed Traps Exchange, which collects citizens' "watch-out" sightings of cops skulking around with radar guns anywhere from here to Flower Mound, Texas.
Oh, but just because we didn't top the list doesn't mean Winnipeg isn't on the website's radar.
The National Motorists Association announced the speed-trap rankings this week in a news release designed, no doubt, to drive traffic to their website at an accelerated rate. And to advertisements on its website, such as the one for a retired Winnipeg cop who once might have written you a speeding ticket but now will take your money for helping to find a way to have it thrown out of court.
Before we take look at what else there is about Winnipeg on the speed-trap website, you should know three Ontario cities -- Windsor, Hamilton and Mississauga -- finished in the top-five worst-speed-trap towns among urban areas with populations of more than 50,000. The aforementioned Flower Mound, Texas, being No. 1. Among provinces and states, Ontario finished first among the worst which, I'm told, shouldn't surprise anyone who regularly crosses the Manitoba-Ontario border en route to Lake of the Woods cottage country.
Not that Winnipeg police are slouches when it comes to writing speeding tickets.
Over the last decade, locals have posted 100 city locations on The National Speed Trap Exchange, some of which might even fit the definition of a speed trap. So what is a speed trap?
"Speed traps typically combine arbitrarily low speed limits with heavy traffic enforcement designed to generate ticket revenue," is the way the NMA explained it in its news release.
The NMA went on to say more about speed traps and their raison d'�tre.
"While the intent may be to modify driver behaviour long-term, that is rarely the result. Speed traps keep springing up in the same locations, the issuance of tickets flows unabated, and there is no material effect on traffic safety. That is why the NMA advocates for increased speed limits in chronic speed-trap areas supported by traffic studies and proven engineering principles."
Having reported that, perhaps you'd care to see an example of what locals have been posting about Winnipeg's speeding-ticket hot spots. Here's the latest one, posted on Aug. 10.
"Route 90 northbound before Ness Avenue Winnipeg, Man.:
"The officer hides in the trees by the Safeway Store... He catches everyone that is in the first row of traffic at 90 km (per hour) in a posted 70 km zone. Everyone is busy watching merging traffic, trying to change lanes and watching the oncoming intersection and traffic lights."
And speeding.
For some reason the guy forgot to mention speeding.
Under each posting, the website has an area where website visitors can vote on whether it is or isn't a speed trap.
The latest voting looked like this:
"Yes this is a speed trap (2) No, this is definitely NOT a speed trap (0)."
No wonder Winnipeg didn't make the top five.
The earliest Winnipeg post goes back to Aug. 30, 2002, which is 10 years ago today.
"Northbound Osborne at Broadway.
"Several officers sit at the legislature entrance using a tripod mounted (radar) device nabbing speeders as they drive 50km/h over the Osborne bridge. Constant enforcement (several days a week), esp. after dark (9 p.m.-2 a.m.)."
It got 10 votes for a being a speed trap and two for "definitely NOT."
I remember how I voted on that location back about that time when I was pulled over while driving downtown on a Saturday evening.
It felt like a speed trap because I hadn't seen any sign saying the bridge was a 50 km/h zone.
I'm not so sure I feel that way now.
Especially after police reported that on a Monday evening earlier this month, officers "monitoring" traffic coming off the Sherbrook Bridge and rounding the curve by the Misericordia Health Centre caught a driver doing 112 km/h in what is a 50 km/h zone.
I know how potentially dangerous that location is for both cars leaving the Misericordia and pedestrians in the area and I know police set up there and it's "definitely NOT" a speed trap.
Which might be why I couldn't find it on the website.
Anyway, I paid my ticket for crossing the Osborne Bridge over the speed limit all those years ago.
And I assume the officer who ticketed me hasn't had to buy a beer with his police pals every since.
He deserves the free beer and I deserved the ticket, because I should have known the speed limit and obeyed it.
And so should we all.

A number of Air Jordan XIII colorways are on tap for spring 2013, including styles both familiar and brand new. Along with the 'Grape'-ish GS colorup, this new 'Squadron Blue' AJ13 occupies the class of fresh colorups using the Thirteen's ballistic nylon-based build. It'll be interesting to see where these pan out with MJ's-last-Bulls-season OGs 'Bred' and 'He Got Game' also repping for Tinker Hatfield's ode to Mike's insatiable hunger on the court and the golf course. Have a look at subtle yet eye-catching navy and neon combo that could very well very well one day spawn its own descendent styles and stick with Sneaker News as we approach what's scheduled as an early February premier.

I often find myself admiring, laughing or smiling about the little ironies and details in the world and I'm constantly stopping to smell flowers.
I'm well travelled, educated, open minded, try to live healthy exercising and eating well, love a good adventure and almost never turn down a chance to be active, have fun, or learn.
I'm looking for someone awesome to adventure with and to share.... well, stuff I guess. I've learned not to put a lot of expectations on things though because they get in the way of what's there.
looking for dare to be great moments!
trying to find my place in the world and learning to live with fewer boundries.
Hugging.... I give excellent big hugs
I'm a pretty good cook, handy on a trivia team, have a 98 win % on freecell, and I can whistle and hum at the same time without stopping (I can do it inhaling and exhaling). I know, you're in awe, right?
TV: big bang theory, how I met your mother, grimm, suits, californication, burn notice, weeds, wonderfalls, game of thrones, stargate, orange is the new black, Dr. Who, the walking dead, Supernatural, house of cards, news room, da foosball or occasional sports game. I don't like watching tv just to do something though. Usually I just DVR stuff and watch when I get some free time. In truth, I'd be happiest if I always had a reason to NOT watch tv.
I LOVE movies. They seem to free me from my own thoughts, especially if it's a good comedy, drama, or movie that involves a real story or personal growth.
Food is maybe my one great weakness.... besides all the others. I LOVE food. Chances are if it's good I've eaten it and probably tried to cook it, but I frequent Mexican, Thai, Greek, Indian, Chinese, Italian, and Japanese most often.
- What I want to do in my "spare" time and what I'm going to learn about next.
-Where/how I can meet someone who will turn my life upside down and make me wonder how I ever got along without her.
I'll go out to bars occasionally, but I hate smoke. I also had my times of drunken debauchery in college, but it's not for me anymore. It doesn't bother me when other people do, I just don't need it to have fun. I can be plenty stupid and fun without the alcohol, plus who doesn't love a designated driver.
are a non-smoker if you want any sort of relationship.
are interested in learning and growing
Aren't a reality tv freak
If you've gotten to the end of this and are smiling. Seriously... send a note.

pretty much a mark or recto would do it. but not really. it's all going to sound good is the point. a marshall jvm is right on justice level. he also used a jcm 2000 in the studio here and there. the entire signal on kill, ride, master and justice was marshall except the preamp was a mark 2 on MOP and justice. i think the black album was when it became mostly mesa, but i don't know because james famous set up was this:
Marshall JCM 800 as a power amp
Mesa Boogie Mark 2 C+ into the JCM 800
Marshall Cabs with Vintage 30's and g12 65's
that was the meat of the MOP and Justice era rig. anybody else tells you different, they're just bitter the signal was mostly marshall.
get a Mark 5 if you can. peace.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Same-store sales at Target declined 5.5% during March, in line with the company's expectations for a down month due to the late arrival of Easter. The March decline is expected to be offset by strength in April with comps forecast to be in the teens.
"March comparable-store sales were in line with our expectations, reflecting the change in Easter timing in 2011. Our stores are well-prepared for the upcoming Easter season, and we continue to expect a mid-teens increase in Target's April comparable-store sales," said Target chairman, president and CEO Gregg Steinhafel.
Last year Easter fell very early in April, and the sales situation was reversed, as Target produced a 10.3% comp increase in March followed by a 5.9% decrease in April.
With Easter falling on April 24 this year, versus April 4 last year, sales in categories related to the holiday were understandably impacted, as shoppers tend to delay purchases closer to their time of need. For example, Target said the Easter impact was particularly meaningful for candy within the grocery area, across multiple categories in apparel, toys and music, movies and books and seasonal categories in home.
As for March results, the story was much the same as it has been in prior months with the company reporting strength in grocery, health care, beauty and other household essentials, which increased in the low to mid single-digits. Comps in apparel and home area decreased in the high single-digit range while hardline comps decreased in the low double-digit range.

Windows Phone is a mobile operating system developed by Microsoft.
Created by Microsoft
As we know, Nokia Lumia 920 is a smartphone which developed by Nokia, and running the new system Windows Phone 8. It's now available.
Comparison with Lumia 900
Compare with the flagship Lumia 900 from Windows Phone 7 era, the two devices look quite similar, but the case of Lumia 900 is gloomy while 920 is shiny and smooth, and 920 has a curved screen, which makes it feel better, more ergonomic.
Lumia 900's resolution is 800 x 480, 1.4GHz single-core processor, and the RAM is 512 M. Now improvements have been made. Lumia 920 has equipped with 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 4.5-inch 1280×720 display (326 PPI!); 8.7 megapixels Carl Zeiss camera, and support pureview shooting technology, wireless charging, and glove-friendly touchscreen.
PureMotion HD+ Screen
Nokia Lumia 920 has a revolutionary technology - PureMotion HD+. The PureMotion HD+ uses advanced PureMotion technology to get high pixel density, brighter screen, and faster refresh. It also makes revolutionary innovation in the touch-sensitive.
HD+ high pixel density
HD+ is about its resolution: 1280 × 768. The number of pixels of its 4.5-inch large screen is 60% higher than iPhone 5 (1136 × 640), 7% higher than Samsung Galaxy S III (720 × 1280).
And the display is more delicate than many competitors' products, the pixel density of up to 332 PPI. In contrast, the iPhone 5 is 325 PPI, HTC One X is 312 PPI, and Samsung Galaxy S3 is 306 PPI, while the Galaxy Note 2 has only 285 PPI.
Super Sensitive Touch
Compare with Other capacitive screen mobile phones that need to operate with the pulp, Lumia 920 screen sensibility is beyond al other smart phones' screens. Users could wear gloves, long fingernails, or even an ordinary ballpoint pen to complete the phone touch operation.
PureView imaging technology
Lumia 920 is equipped with a 8.7 megapixel rear camera, and the PureView technology is the first time being used on the Lumia phones. PureView technology uses advanced optical image stabilization technology. In a low light environment, and even the flash lamp is not opened, it is still able to intake five times more light than ordinary mobile phone's camera, hence no matter users are indoor, or at night, it is capable to capture clear, bright pictures and videos.
To enhance effects from dark, Lumia 920 adopted a new method – Backside illumination. The back-illumination (BSI) and a conventional front-illumination (FSI) have a texture difference between the photosensitive effects. Thus, although the size of the pixels is the same, but its pixel photosensitive effect is better.
Lumia 920 also uses a Carl Zeiss lens, f/2.0 aperture to capture more lights into sensor. These changes mean that you can shoot better photos on a cloudy day, evening or indoor.
More great progress is the optical image stabilization system (OIS), also known as optical image stabilization. There has some phone supports digital image stabilization feature, but this cannot be compared with the OIS. Lumia 920 will be judged by the built-in gyroscope phone direction of movement, and to move the entire shooting module to ensure that the hand jitter does not affect shooting. In addition to be able to help bring excellent video, OIS can significantly enhance the photographic effect in the dark light, because the longer the exposure time, the more stable needed.
Here is an image that stands for itself:
City Lens
Besides PureMotion and PureView, Lumia 920 is also equipped with Nokia's urban kaleidoscope – Nokia City Lens, which is adding a new suite of Nokia Map and location-based services augmented to reality experience: only need to align the camera to the city streets, then the buildings will be displayed with restaurants, hotels, and other information. It also allows switching between map view and augmented reality view, to help people identify the direction and understand the surrounding environment.
Comparison with Other Smart Phones
If you have owned a Nokia Lumia 920 or on the way of buying one, Tune4mac iTunes Video Converter Platinum is a good assistant to convert iTunes video and movies to Lumia 920 for playback. >>How to convert iTunes videos and movies to Lumia 920 and Windows Phones for Playback?

MELBOURNE, Australia — In wind strong enough to blow sand out of the bunkers and kick up dust, Tiger Woods squeezed his eyes shut to clear his vision.
That was the least of his woes Friday in the Australian Masters.
He found himself going back to his old swing, turning in a performance typical of his worst PGA Tour season.
With consecutive bogeys on the back nine that killed his momentum, Woods shot 1-over 72 in the second round and was nine shots behind Adam Bland, who shot 4-under 67.
Bland (10-under 132) had a two-shot lead over Andre Stolz.
Iit was the seventh time in 14 tournaments that Woods was at least nine shots behind going into the weekend.
"It was frustrating because I hit the ball well pretty much off the tee and wasn't quite as sharp with the irons," said Woods, the defending champion.
He was at 141, tied with Camilo Villegas, who shot 70.
PGA: Roland Thatcher eased through the tougher of the two courses in the second round of the Children's Miracle Network Classic, firing 9-under 63 for a four-shot lead over Chris Stroud and Brian Gay in Lake Buena Vista.
Thatcher began the week 179th on the money list and needs to finish alone in second to vault into the top 125 — the cutoff for full status next year. Nos. 126-150 will get conditional status.
"Pun intended, I wouldn't mind being referred to as Cinderella for the week," he said of the Disney event, being played on both the Magnolia and Palm courses in the first two rounds. Thatcher hit 15 of 18 greens and needed only 23 putts on Magnolia.
Stroud, the first-round leader who is 119th on money list, kept his full status by making the cut. Three others barely in the top 125 — Joe Durant (120), former Tampa resident Woody Austin (123) and Michael Allen (124) — missed the cut. Durant should be safe, but Austin and Allen are in danger of falling out.
LPGA: Paula Creamer shot 6-under 66 for a one-stroke lead over Suzann Pettersen in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Guadalajara, Mexico. Creamer birdied two of the final three holes to reach 10-under 134 through two rounds. Ochoa followed her first-round 74 with a 71 on her home course, leaving her 26th in her first tour event since retiring in April. Seminole's Brittany Lincicome shot 77 for 12-over 156, last in the 35-player field.
EUROPEAN: Adam Scott shot a second straight 65 to take a two-stroke lead at 12-under 130 over defending champ Ian Poulter after two rounds at the Singapore Open. Masters champion Phil Mickelson was six shots off the pace after shooting 69.


text: Perhaps another flaw is the fact they are launching with a social factor. "Xbox Music will add unique social features in the coming year that let you share your music experiences with friends and family," the press release said. This isn't to say that Microsoft's new service will not adversely affect Pandora or Spotify; it most certainly will. Like Apple's iTunes, Xbox Music offers users the ability to buy music, as opposed to just streaming it. Whole albums and individual tracks can be purchased. Right now there are 30 million tracks on Xbox Music, which Microsoft says is on par with iTunes. Brian Sozzi, chief equities analyst for NBG Productions, believes Microsoft is looking to do all it can into owning the living room, as it competes with Pandora. "I find the announcement from one main angle: Microsoft is trying to kick into high gear its ownership of the living room ahead of Apple TV, if that even is to be released in 2013 and beyond," Sozzi said. "Microsoft knows it has impregnated living rooms globally during the current Xbox 360 console cycle, and now it's time to set consumer expectations for what the next device could do for them (rumored to be the Xbox 720)." Shares of Pandora were lower in early Monday trade, off 2.7% to $9.15, while Microsoft shares were gaining 0.7% to trade at $29.39. Interested in more on Microsoft?

Texans Romp Over Undermanned Ravens 43-13 As Records Fall
Yes, JJ Swatt was hanging around
Photo by Daniel Kramer
Check out our slideshow of the Texans vs. the Ravens at Reliant Stadium.
They weren't the boldfaced, awe-inspiring ever-dreaded Baltimore Ravens of old -- too many injuries, and old age, have ravaged that lineup -- but they are still wearing the purple and black that has intimidated NFL offenses for years.
Not today in Reliant Stadium, though.
The Houston Texans didn't play all that well, but they racked up a franchise-record 43 points and beat Baltimore for the first time in franchise history, beating the Ravens 43-13.

The Texans eased the fears of fans who had been driven slightly batty by the Monday Night Football bashing last week, and the team seems set again on its Super Bowl track.
They took their time -- as usual -- getting off to a somewhat slow start that had fans grumbling. But even as they made some dumb mistakes and penalties, the team held on and poured on the points when needed.
And yes, J.J. Watt batted down passes.
QB Matt Schaub was 23 for 37 for 256 yards and two touchdowns; Arian Foster had 98 yards of 19 carries and two TDs.
The team now goes into a bye week in about as good a shape as could have been hoped, and the Super Bowl in New Orleans seems as close as ever.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hi Kate,
I really appreciate the advice you gave me. I thought long and hard about it and something just isn't right. I couldn't bring myself to say anything or ask him to do that. I think I know in my heart that he isn't where I would need him to be for a realtionship. I also think that he has trust issues from his first and last girlfriend cheating on him while he was stationed overseas in Japan.
I don't think that I want to be the girl he gets over those issues with or experiements getting over them with. I want him, I do. I hate the idea of him with anyone else, but I also know that he needs to go out and experience life a bit more. He isn't ready to settle and he told me from the beginning that he doesn't do distance. So I won't ask it of him.
I love him. With every fiber of my being, which is a joy and a curse. But, they say if you love something you have to let it go... right? I guess, I also need to do some of my own exploring. Get settled with what I want from my career and from myself as a human being. Kind of learn more about me.
I think my only thought now is do I tell him I love him? Is that selfish to do? I don't even think he loves me back. He is so protective of any type of vulnerability, which is understandable. I know he has it in him to be loving, affectionate and vulnerable given time, because he has the most loving family. Yet, I don't think he is mentally ready to take that leap. And I won't settle for having less than all of him. So, my question is now, I won't see him before I move this week. Can I write him a short letter telling him that I am in love with him?
I feel like I should tell him for my own peace of mind, because not every day is guaranteed and I don't want to ever say I didn't take the chance to say what I needed too. I want him to know that someone else loves him, is proud of him and believes in him aside from his family. I want him to continue being friends with me. But I also don't want him to think that this means I am asking anything from him, because I am not. I hope he loves me, I know he likes me and is interested in me but I don't think he is there yet mentally to love and be vulnerable like that.
I am just not sure what to do. Oh, silly young love! I feel like I am in high school asking such things.
Of course, I rated your first answer with an excellent when you first answered! You were extremely helpful, I apprecaited that.
I am ready to accept whatever happens, even if it is no response. I mean it's a part of life, but you are right I don't want regrets. This I would regret.
I guess my biggest worry is that telling him through a letter is a cop-out. I would rather have told him in person but that isn't an option and through a text or phone call seems so silly or makes it seem unimportant. Though, I am not sure a letter is any better of an alternative.
