Newbery blogging
I was reminded to post this when I came back to the office and saw that the latest issue of the Horn Book had just arrived, including my editorial wherein I discuss the prize process and mention Nina's new project. Articles in the issue include the Newbery and Caldecott speeches, profiles of the winners by their editors, some other views of prizes by Leda Schubert and Colleen Campbell, Brian Doyle on writing for children, Patty Campbell on chick-lit, Barbara Bader on the Red Scare and Lolly Robinson on the friendship between Beatrix Potter and our own Bertha Mahony Miller, upon whose chair my "to do" pile now rests, uneasily.

The criteria for a Newbery was one of the consuming questions of my childhood, mostly due to Lloyd Alexander.
Why the second Prydain book was a runner-up, and only the fifth was a winner baffled me to no end. I assumed (with fifth-grade faculties) that an award, particularly the Newbery, was an indication of mastery. So what happened to the third and fourth books? Were they somehow, worse, before he came roaring back to form with the fifth?
Ten year olds who grapple with questions like that become authors.
I pretty much had the inner conflict settled at one point - then someone gave me the L'Engle books and it flared up all over again...

Oh boy....heeeeeere we go again!
The Newberry award committee has different people on it every year as far as I know. Maybe that accounts for some of the unevenness and unpredictability and disagreements...but then I don't think any of that is wrong either. Makes it FUN! LOVE it when I predict and get the winner right some years, though! Makes me feel SO superior! Just goofing off in the sandbox, here, just having some fun..

Madden NFL 07 DS
- Publisher: EA Sports
- Release Date: Aug 22, 2006
- Also On: PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Madden NFL 07 for the DS offers a ton of features, touch screen support and wireless play to make it a solid portable football experience. However the frustrating AI, learning curve when using the touch screen and blocky 3D graphics slows the game down.
The graphics won't win any awards but despite the small screens, the game still gives a decent sense of size and scope when you're playing. Players are blocky but the game uses bright colours and easy-to-navigate menus (the same of which can't be said about the home console versions).
Playing Madden NFL 07 on the Nintendo DS is akin to coaching a high school chess club in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers... it's a playable experience and your team's got heart, but you're going to have to work through a few broken limbs on your way to victory.
Madden NFL 2007 is a solid annual update, but it lacks visual panache and touchscreen brilliance.
Aside from the horrid kicking issues (that will have people returning their games, assuming it's a faulty copy), the rest of the package is actually pretty strong. There are a ton of modes and options, lots of multiplayer, and the overall graphical and audio presentation has received a bit of a bump as well.

GregN.Sep 4, 2006You will absolutely regret buying this game because you'll be bored out of your mind. I'm sure EA did the best job they could, but You will absolutely regret buying this game because you'll be bored out of your mind. I'm sure EA did the best job they could, but the system limitations lead to a very generic gameplay. The real culprit here is the cartrige because it can't hold very much. Also the DS can only produce descent graphics but I'm not saying that it's a bad system. If you're looking for a sports game you should look elsewhere.… Full Review »

Globalization Versus Regionalization
The current trend of the world development economy entails the thorough analysis of the relation between globalization and regionalization. Although some economic analysts consider regionalization as a reaction to globalization of the certain countries, we notice that on microeconomic level this has a significant contribution to the development and scope of the globalization process. The modern society development largely supported the globalization phenomenon. As globalization is characterized by the up-going tendency to reduce and eliminate the gaps between the national economies as well as by the enhanced connections among these economies, it actually represents the fundamental trade of the current world economy. However, the world economy has a complex evolution being even contradictory in certain situations as the sometimes eventual fragmentations may come up although the interdependency of national economies increases. This work aims at approaching both the globalization and regionalization concepts and their influences over the international economic relations.

A jury of his peers decided that he is innocent. There are others in Town who are not so innocent and who will soon be held to account for their actions.

Here's the problem with police allegations. Whereas residents may have real knowledge of certain issues, such as the one Double Standard posted, obtaining proof equivalent to absolute certitude is difficult if not impossible now in California since police unions have effectively bullied the legislature into creating an environment in which police records are completely confidential. The cities of Berkeley and San Francisco were forced to stop holding public hearings on police complaints.
I am as supportive of police as the next guy, but this troubles me, particularly in a very small town such as Atherton. The backlash that could come about through proper reporting and public outrage has always provided a very effective check and balance against the abuse of discretion of government officials. Now, a police officer can do something truly wrong, and as long as the public doesn't already know (e.g., or I should say "i.e.", the public presence of a video tape such as Oakland BART or Clark Yee) the police chief can sweep it under the rug and no one can find out about it or question the decision.
That's an incredible amount of power when you think about it. The President of the United States has nothing even close to that ability to operate with impunity.
Based on all of this, the Almanac should realize a somewhat different approach might be appropriate for police situations. I would hope they would agree that the police stating you can't publish any allegation that cannot be proven, but we also aren't going to let you prove it, just doesn't fly.

Agreed, that was totally unexpected
Not what I expected for an episode last night, was hoping for more continuation of last weeks great ending. Not a great episode, more like a filler. Still can't figure out Cameron yet let alone Riley.
I watched last nights episode online, it was interesting but they haven't moved the main story along thus far. Flash back, flash forward... etc. It did have a couple of lol's tho.
I'm looking forward to tonights episode, looks like some major developments. Remember, this is the last episode this year then they will be back when the show moves to Fridays in February.
Dang, this is going to be a long wait till February. A very interesting episode but will not mention anything yet as others may have not seen it so not to mention any spoilers, will give it till the end of the week then blab away.

What Are You Searching For?
Have you been struggling with hard times and just don't know where to turn? Are you feeling hopeless and at the end of your rope? Do you need comfort or peace for a difficult decision? Don't give up - there is hope. Jesus came so we could live a more full life, a life of hope. In John 10:10, Jesus said,
"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
A Great Resource for FREE
The Gospel Saves wants to put the most priceless resourceyou can begin to search the scriptures for yourself and discover the promises of God and the hope He offers. into your hands - the Bible. Thanks to the digital age we now live in, the Bible has become more accessible to millions of people all over the world. Visit our website now, and read the King James Bible online, so you can begin to search the scriptures for yourself and discover the promises of God and the hope He offers.
A Brief History of the King James Bible
The KJV Bible was originally translated in 1611 by forty-seven scholars who were commissioned by King James himself, who belonged to the Church of England, as a means to bring a modernized and accurate translation of the Holy scriptures to the people. Since the middle of the 17th century, the King James Bible has been considered the authorized version of the scriptures for English speaking nations around the world and has been translated into over 1,200 foreign languages
How can the Bible help me?
Think of the Bible online this way - as a love letter from your Creator that spans generations and defies all the rules of time. A letter comprised of 66 individual books forming one gloriously long and hopeful account of His promises, penned by His own team of scribes and personal assistants, or prophets. He cared so much about you that He handpicked each one of them, making certain they could relay His message that would stand the tests of time. What an amazing endeavor!
As the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy,
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
As you read the Bible online, imagine your Savior sitting right next to you and actually speaking these words that were written over a millennia ago, just for you, to encourage you and give you hope.
The Bible can protect you
The scriptures were not just meant for encouragement or to lift us up. They were also meant to equip us to go into battle. We do not face mere worldly or physical threats in our lives, but we are waging a war in the spiritual realm as well. Paul, a devoted Apostle of Jesus Christ, wrote a majority of the New Testament, and warned us in many accounts the things that a believer of the Messiah could expect. But he also gave us a plan on how to protect ourselves from the enemy that seeks to destroy us.
In his letter to the Ephesians he wrote,
"Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
He went on to tell us what makes up the armor of God: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the readiness of the gospel of peace fitted on our feet, the shield of faith, the helmet of righteousness, and the sword of the Spirit
"which is the word of God."
When you immerse yourself in the scriptures, the Word of God, you are taking up a sword that can defeat any giant, any enemy, that may come up against you.
Greatest Roadmap Ever Written
The most significant tool, or roadmap, that could ever have been put into writing, has been given directly to us by its Author. Over and over throughout scripture, we are told why it is important to study this roadmap. What makes reading and studying the Bible so important? Here are some truths to keep in mind about the Word of God, and how the Bible can equip you and direct you on your journey:
• You are a disciple of Jesus (John 8:31)
• It is truth
"and the truth shall make you free"
(John 17:17; John 8:32)
• It will build up your faith (Acts 20:32; Romans 10:17)
• It will give you life (John 6:63)
• It will teach and encourage you as it gives you hope (Romans 15:4)
• It is alive (John 1:1)
• It will provide you with success and well-being (Joshua 1:8)
• It will feed you (Matthew 4:4)
• It is an act of love (John 14:23-24)
• It is a seed (Luke 8:11)
These are just a few select truths that stand out from the living, breathing Word of God. As you dig in deeper, you will find out for yourself what promises and truth is interspersed throughout the pages of the Bible.
Sharing the Message
As wonderful as the message of the Bible is, it is not enough to keep it to ourselves, which is why we have made it available to you in an online version. In this same manner, we ask that you would share it as well. Tell your family and friends about this free online version of the KJV Bible so they may, too, share in the promises of the Word of God.
Many may think they do not have a particular calling or assignment in this life, that they are merely just floating along, that missionaries are only those who are sent into the wilds of the unreached parts of the world. But that couldn't be further from the truth. The truth is, you have been given a great mission to carry out, commissioned by Jesus himself.
What He spoke to His close-knit team over 2,000 years ago still rings true today: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."
So take this resource, this online Bible, and go into the world and tell them that The Gospel Saves.

Alec Baldwin might not ever run for mayor, but he can still create an iconic New York City moment.
The 30 Rock star was taking in Maria Sharapova's opening match at the U.S. Open Monday when a mis-hit tennis ball bounced over to his front-row seat, almost as if it had been aimed at him.
Without missing a beat, Baldwin calmly caught the ball, then waved to the crowd, likely contemplating an imagined future where he was the benevolent ruler of New York City and crowds everywhere cheered his very presence.
Then he threw the ball back to a ball boy, because all dreams must fade.

Sierra Repertory Theatre Jr. to Host Summer Camps in July & August
Sierra Repertory Theatre Jr. will offer summer camps this July and August for children ages 4-6; 6-9; and 10 and older. Kids don't have to have theater experience to enroll. Sierra Rep Education Director Ralph Krumins will lead the week-long sessions, created with all children in mind, from the outgoing family clown to the shy child who may just be waiting to unleash his inner actor.
"Our summer workshops are for anyone who just wants to play," Krumins said.
And play they will. Students in the youngest age groups will have fun with games that utilize their natural gift of imagination, then move on to learn lines and dance steps that prepare them for the stage. Older children can look forward to honing skills like character-driven motivation, advanced movement, and creative choices.
"When the kids advance with age, it's all about how we can take their abilities to the next level to make them more accomplished actors," Krumins said.
Carter Peterson, a 10-year-old from Sonora who attended two theater workshops with Krumins earlier this year, plans to attend the summer workshop. Carter, in the fourth grade at Soulsbyville Elementary, had limited theater experience before he came to his first workshop: He recited a poem at a talent show.
"But I wanted to try it," said Carter, whose mother Sue read about SRT Jr.'s winter break workshop in the newspaper.
"I usually play board games when I'm off school on vacation," he said. "I'd rather spend my time acting and singing and dancing."
Up to 15 students will attend each workshop, and remaining space is limited. Krumins and his summer workshop counselors from Sierra Rep will write a show specifically for the children in that session to perform at the end of the week.
"Maybe we'll have six shy kids," he said. "In that case, we'll have a narrator. Maybe we have some great dancers. Then we'll put in some more songs, have some more dancing."
Sierra Rep's summer workshops are part of SRT Jr., which started last year with after-school theater workshops. The program also includes a "trunk show" with professional actors that present original productions for students on campuses in Tuolumne County and beyond. Krumins hopes all this will foster an appreciation of the arts in youngsters.
"What we really want them to do is say, 'Let's go watch a show,'" he said.
Summer workshops take place in July and August, organized by age group, with the final workshop for ages 10 and up lasting two weeks instead of one. Cost is $75-$200, depending on age. Season ticket holders receive a discount. For more information on Sierra Rep's summer workshops contact Ralph Krumins at email@example.com or 209-532-0502, ext. 123. An enrollment form can be downloaded from the Education page at www.sierrarep.org.

Following World War II, pink bathrooms enjoyed a 20-year run of incredible popularity in America. Carnation-colored bathroom tile and Pepto-Bismol pink potties and tubs were all the rage, possibly thanks to First Lady Mami Eisenhower's enthusiasm for the color. But the era of the pink bathroom would come to pass, eventually losing out to the changing style trends of the 1970s. Even the efforts of Jayne Mansfield and her pink-filled bathroom with heart-shaped tub weren't enough to maintain pink's popularity.
Over the years, so many of these vintage bathrooms were ripped out that a dedicated movement arose to preserve them. Inspired by the popular mid-century home blogger Pam Kueber of Retro Renovation, hundreds of people signed the petition to Save the Pink Bathrooms, including some who employed clever potty humor. On her site, Kueber declares that not only are pink bathrooms a "wonderful part of our home design heritage," but they're also "poised for a comeback."
There are numerous new style trends incorporating pink in the bathroom, but forgive us for preferring the classic ones. While not as common as they once were, these vintage baths do occasionally appear in Estately's real estate listings, most commonly in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and scattered about Florida. To give you a taste, we've included 9 California homes currently for sale that feature vintage pink bathrooms.

The Congress-led government in Kerala has decided to set up an exclusive fast-track court to deal with sexual atrocities against women and children.india Updated: Jan 17, 2013 01:32 IST
The Congress-led government in Kerala has decided to set up an exclusive fast-track court to deal with sexual atrocities against women and children.
Announcing this here on Wednesday, chief minister Oommen Chandy said the court would be set up in Kochi immediately. "We have decided to sanction 18 new posts to set up a new additional and district court in Kochi. This court would deal only with cases pertaining to exploitation of women and children," he said.
A string of sexual assault cases against minors, especially by their own relatives, had shaken the state recently. Expressing concern over the matter earlier, the Kerala high court had asked the government to set up a fast-track court to deal with these cases.
The state is also planning to introduce a bill to protect the rights of women. If a woman dies or commits suicide after sexual exploitation, the proposed bill would enable a court to hand out the death sentence to the convict.
Maharashtra to make rape non-bailable
Mumbai: The Maharashtra government is likely to move towards making heinous crimes such as rape and molestation non-bailable for which it is likely to move an amendment.
In a discussion that took place at the Justice CS Dharmadhikari committee meeting at Mantralaya on Wednesday, home minister RR Patil is said to have asked the law and judiciary department to examine how to initiate the proposal and not to wait for Parliament to make an amendment.
Along with this amendment, there is also a proposal to double jail terms for such crimes.
The committee was appointed in October 2010 to examine, among other things, the need to amend sections of the Indian Penal Code relating to outraging the modesty of a woman.
Woman gangraped in front of husband

After leaving the woman critically injured, the robbers fled with cash and jewellery.
The victim, who suffered serious injuries on her head, is undergoing treatment at Aligarh Medical College. Police, meanwhile, have arrested two suspects and is interrogating them.

ICE and a slice of victory for gin companies as efforts are made to preserve ancient juniper plants on Painswick Beacon.
Juniper, which is the key ingredient used to make gin, is in decline due to factors such as under-grazing as well as a lack of habitat for young plants, but now a new and deadly disease threatens to wipe out the plant nationwide.
The scheme to preserve the under-threat juniper population on the Painswick Beacon has been funded by No.3 London Dry Gin, which has awarded a £1,000 grant to project organisers Plantlife, the UK's leading wild plant charity.
Juniper, one of Britans' oldest plants, has almost disappeared from the area with only 70 plants left in pockets across the whole site.
Painswick Beacon Conservation Group, Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group South West, Natural England and the landowner have joined forces to link two isolated juniper colonies on the Painswick Beacon through a programme of scrub and tree clearance and the creation of scrapes for juniper seedlings to colonise.
Tim Wilkins, species recovery coordinator at Plantlife, said: "Juniper has been steadily declining over the last few decades and without action now it actually faces extinction across Gloucestershire and much of lowland England within 50 years.
"Plantlife have launched various juniper conservation projects across the UK but and we're absolutely thrilled that No.3 is bolstering our efforts in these ways."
Mike Mackenzie, of No.3 London Dry Gin, said: "Juniper is very much at the heart of our gin so it's entirely appropriate that we support Plantlife's activities to save the plant."

Local Residents Open Up Homes To Navy Chiefs
HOPE RANCH, Calif. - Dozens of Navy Chiefs from the USS Ronald Reagan got a warm welcome at a home in Hope Ranch on Saturday.
Robert and Carolyn Duncan hosted a private luncheon for the Navy Chiefs. The sailors were treated to food, music and a great view.
Robert Duncan is a member of the Santa Barbara Navy League. He says he has a special affinity for Navy Chiefs and hopes more people open up their homes the next time a ship comes to town. Duncan said, "We'd love to have people offer to take a sailor home for the weekend, or take them to dinner. It's a big treat for these guys."
Commander Master Chief Spike Call says Duncan sent him an email invitation. Call says the experience is special for the crew. "It's amazing and awe inspiring. It's very different from what we're used to. Bob is a special guy."

Nothing beats men (or women) at work. And the scene is all the better when a crew is doing something at which they are very good while being challenged by the situation.
This is one of my favorite videos among your sharings. Thanks.

But why not? We move almost everything in our lives. Why not preserve a house you may love?

Much as I might like to uproot my house, it is the typical American structure not likely to survive. Houses must be pretty old to have been well enough to sail across the ocean. On the other hand I have friends with boats. How would that work? Maybe one of them can be persuaded to carry the lot of us away.

The best of the sailors is just now sailing a 44-foot yacht from Florida up the inland waterway. He is retired and may be looking for an adventure. Need another clown? One more mule driver?
April 7, 2011 at 4:07 am
He sold his own boat. Now captains for others but he has lots of friends with large boats. May not be too much trouble.

The expansion pack will deliver fans and newcomers an intense new WW2 spectacle with almost limitless replayability.
Like previous games in the series, Men of War: Assault Squad includes the unique "direct control" feature which enables players to maneuver units using the directional keys, rather than pointing and clicking. PC Generals can get behind the controls of a tank to smash through obstacles, crush soldiers under its tracks and fire armor-piercing shells at enemy emplacements, or take control of individual soldiers as they fight.

After getting Titan for the neck, does the appearance of the skin get worse for a few days due to the "trauma" and then start to improve, or does it improve right away? Thank you!

Generally, there is some improvement noted right after the procedure. The results continue to improve over the next few months. Bear in mind that Titan is very dependent on the ability of the professional performing the treatment. It is very important to make sure whoever is doing the treatment has excellent experience. In the proper hands Titan works extremely well.

OVER 50 Kyambogo University students yesterday pitched camp at the institution, accusing the entity's authorities of deliberately excluding their names from the latest graduation list.
Kyambogo's second session of the 10th graduation ceremony is scheduled for Friday June 6. Students graduating under this session are those whose names were excluded in the graduation list for the first session. The first session took place in February.
"Even before the graduation list for the first session of this year's graduation ceremony was out, I had fulfilled all the requirements for graduation but my name was excluded from the list. My name has also been excluded from this one," said Bernard Akuma.
The University's academic registrar Rose Bwire however told the students "who believe they have satisfied both the academic and financial requirements but do not appear on the lists to report to the university for verification between May 2 and 16."
The students are urged to carry along identity card, admission letter, receipts and examinations cards.
Parents have urged Kyambogo to include all qualifying students in the graduation list.

The house was built on the top of a hill with pine trees, all of which were preserved. Two distinct volumes are organized around a large patio in the shape of an "L", separating the house in private and public zones. The clarity of the layout as well as some of the materials that were used, are elements drawn from the local traditional architecture of the region.

Midrakh 'Oz, Khirbat el-Khishash, Survey
Yotam Tepper
Final Report
During April–May 2006 and 2007, two archaeological surveys were conducted at Khirbat el-Khishash (Permit Nos. A-4775, A-5090; map ref. NIG 21495–550/72270–337; OIG 16495–550/22270–337), prior to expanding Moshav Midrakh 'Oz. The surveys, undertaken on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority and underwritten by the Yair Rahamim and Peled Klein Companies, were directed by Y. Tepper, with the assistance of F. Abu Zidan and A. Shapiro (GPS), M. Zoabi (antiquities inspection) and J. Neguer
and R. Abu Diab (mosaics).
Khirbat el-Khishash is situated on the fringes of Ramat Menashe, along the western border of the Jezre'el Valley, east of Tel Bar and north of Tel Midrakh 'Oz. The site was documented in the Archaeological Survey of Israel (
Map of Mishmar Ha-Emeq [32]
, Site 121) as a ruin from the Ottoman period, located on a hilltop. Remains of buildings, stone heaps, quarries, installations and ceramic artifacts from the Late Roman and Byzantine periods were found on the slopes of the hill and the surveyors suggested that a farmhouse had existed on the site during these periods.
Approximately one thousand antiquities sites were documented in the survey of the hill and its slopes (c. 500 dunams; Fig. 1). These included walls that delimited plots, stone heaps, remains of ancient and modern buildings, a field tower, a road, as well as hundreds of rock-hewn installations, only partly identified, including ashlar stone quarries, cupmarks, basins, winepresses, crushing and tethering installations. The ceramic finds collected in the survey dated to the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods. The most important finds are described below (Only sites described in the text are marked in Fig. 1).
The Ruin
(297) extends across c. 5 dunams on the hilltop. Remains of a modern building, surrounded by concentrations of large ashlar stones (0.30 × 0.40 × 1.95 m; 0.35 × 0.55 × 1.30 m) and stone clearance heaps (287, 453), were found. Various finds were dispersed in the area of the ruin, including roof tiles; a large quantity of various size, square and rectangular tesserae (Fig. 2); industrial tesserae that bear the remains of plaster, which point to their use in an installation that was not located; ceramic squares (2 × 2 cm) cut from roof tiles and worked basalt stones of different sizes. It seems that all these were used in the paving of buildings or installations. Dozens of tesserae of different types and sizes were counted in a 50 sq m area at Site 683; most were prepared from indigenous limestone rock and roof tiles. This concentration indicates that the tesserae were produced on site or they originated from a building or a large installation that was not found. The ruin is surrounded by caves and different installations, including a hewn basin (303) to the south of the ruin and a cist grave (300) to its west. Numerous ashlar stone quarries (see below) were documented on the northern and eastern slopes of the hill and potsherds that dated to the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods were collected.
The Farmhouse
(Site 548; 20 × 30 m) was built along a shoulder of the hill's northern spur. The northern and eastern walls, built of large ashlar stones, had survived of the structure. Remains of the opening in the center of the northern wall consisted of a threshold stone (length c. 1.5 m), a lintel and other ashlar stones nearby (Fig. 3). A cistern (549) was discerned in the middle of the building and concentrations of building stones and stone clearance heaps (538, 699) were found west and south of the farmhouse. Fragments of pottery vessels from the Late Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods and industrial tesserae, bearing remains of plaster, were recorded in the area of the building. A large cave that was partially collapsed (520) and a round structure (605; diam. c. 10 m) were close to the building, to whose south and east was a concentration of installations, including a hewn elliptical surface (584; 10 × 12 m), a cave (553), a hewn channel (591), a
(647), cup marks (598, 610), tethering installations and ashlar stone quarries. North of the building was a tiny winepress and next to it were tethering installations and cupmarks (536), a rock-hewn game board (532), another tethering installation and ashlar stone quarries.
. A stone heap (269) on the northern part of the spur, which included a number of large fieldstones that were probably the remains of a dismantled ancient building, as well as a field tower (270; 3.8 × 3.8 m) whose opening was on the southern side, were documented. Near the buildings werequarries and a few potsherds from the Byzantine period.
. Twenty-one caves (1, 6, 18, 56, 85, 98, 105, 179, 186, 240, 247, 275, 327, 402, 421, 422, 461, 521, 553, 565, 648), mostly discovered filled to their openings, were documented. Two of the caves were used for dwelling and storage until the present period and two others (6, 240; Fig. 4) were identified as burial caves from the Byzantine period, according to their plans.
Winepresses, Extracting Installations and
. Seventeen winepresses were located on the hill, among them a large winepress (61) with a large treading floor (3.5 × 3.5 m), a hewn recess for the press screw and a deep collecting vat (1.7 m). The rest of the winepresses (35, 36, 68, 110, 157, 160, 168, 177, 219, 264, 321, 333, 353, 405, 420, 554) were simple installations with mostly irregular treading floors and cupmarks, often located nearby. The relatively small collecting vat is usually next to the wide side of the treading floor (e.g., 157; Fig. 5). Simple winepresses with an elliptical treading floor (diam. c. 1 m) and a collecting vat were located alongside buildings (309, 310, 536).
and tiny extracting installations (536, 609), one of which was hewn in the treading floor of Winepress 61, were also recorded.
Olive Press-like Crushing Installations
were present in the eastern (37) and northern parts (101) of the hill, close to other installations, such as winepresses, rock cuttings and tethering installations.
. Sixty-one cupmarks were documented, excluding those located alongside winepresses. Most were conical and had various diameters (depth 0.3 m) and a few were elliptical and shallow (e.g., 406). One of the cupmarks (647; diam. 0.26 m) was used as a collecting vat of a
and in another (435; diam. 0.27 m) a tethering installation was hewn, negating the object's use as a cupmark. Unidentified flint flakes were found while cleaning Cupmark 393. Seven clusters that included 2–5 cupmarks (a total of 26) were documented. Some were hewn in an obvious array, e.g., four cupmarks (average diam. 0.17 m) arranged in a square (50; Fig. 6) and five cupmarks (477; diam. 4–9 cm) arranged in an arch that extended along a bedrock terrace. Another cluster (598) consisted of four cupmarks, three large (diam. 0.23–0.25 m) and one small (diam. 8 cm).
Rectangular Rock-cuttings
. Five rock-cuttings (136, 139, 268, 308, 374; max. length per side 0.3 m, depth c. 0.2 m) that may have been used to stand wooden beams were identified. A group of sixteen rectangular installations (337, 344, 346, 430, 440, 442, 443, 444, 541, 559, 560, 587, 588, 615, 637, 694; max. length per side 0.6 m, depth c. 0.3 m) was recorded. It had been suggested in the past that these were used as planting holes or vats for collecting rainwater because they were located alongside concentrations of tethering installations (e.g., 430; Fig. 7).
Tethering Installations
. Some 360 tethering installations were identified; some were single units (289), some in pairs (83; Fig. 8) and some in clusters (111–122). These installations can be divided into four types according to the lengths of their perforations: short (516; length c. 0.15 m), medium (10; length c. 0.25 m), long (326; length c. 0.35 m) and very long (550; length c. 0.45 m). The perforations in the group of long tethering installations were cut in either a round (65) or square (454) shape. The tethering installations were hewn in isolated bedrock outcrops (552), near winepresses and installations (97, 98, 311), in the sides of quarries (90, 98), in the upper part of bedrock terraces (248, 250), alongside natural depressions (122) and even in cupmarks (435). The tethering installations were grouped in clusters of several dozen rock-cuttings, which were concentrated in a number of compounds near installations. Given this distribution, they were apparently used in agricultural activity, possibly for tethering and trellising crops, such as grapes, as opposed to the accepted theory that claims they were used to tie animals.
. Approximately 330 quarries were discovered, mostly at the top of the spur and on the northern and eastern slopes. Three types of quarries could be discerned: several lines of rock-cuttings and quarrying attempts that were incomplete; small quarries for a single stone and large clusters of quarries (diam. in excess of 5 m). Several quarries of the first two types were found on the northern spur and on the western and southern slopes. Rather large ashlar stones (0.5 × 0.5 × 0.7 m) were mostly hewn in the quarries. The stones (0.40 × 0.40 × 0.65 m) in Quarry 249, enclosed by wide, deep severance channels (width c. 0.12 m, depth up to 0.6 m), were in the process of being hewn.
. Eight bedrock-engraved crosses (length per side c. 0.25 m, depth and width of the stone carving c. 2 cm; Fig. 9) were documented; six were on the western slope and two—on the eastern one. The crosses were carved on bedrock surfaces (7, 398, 509), near winepresses (335, 368) and near caves (336, 403, 670). It is possible that the crosses were meant to designate ownership of cultivation plots or their boundaries.
Stone Fences and Enclosure Walls
Hundreds of meters of enclosure walls, built of medium and large fieldstones, were documented; sometimes stone clearance was placed on top of them. The walls crossed some of the quarries and the installations and several walls blocked cave openings. An enclosure wall was built on top of an earlier wall, probably from the Byzantine period, within the precincts of the farmhouse (548). An extensive system of enclosure walls was discerned on the northern spur, including a wall that ran for a distance of 600 m in a north–south direction and was abutted by walls from the east and west, which divided the hill area into large plots. Another system of walls was noted around the modern building at the top of the hill. The road that crosses the hill along the eastern and western slopes passed through the northern part of the enclosure. Plots were arranged along the road, including olive groves. Therefore, it seems that the system of enclosure walls was set up during the previous century.
(159). This installation, possibly dating to the previous century, was discovered on the eastern slope of the hill.
Ruins and Modern Buildings
. About 25 stone heaps and ruinous buildings, constructed from stone and reinforced with concrete, were documented in the survey. Large structures were built at the top of the hill and occasionally, along the northern and southeastern slopes. Stones in secondary use, including architectural elements (172, 196, 225, 286), were found in the stone heaps and it is thus assumed that they superposed ancient remains.
The finds of the survey indicate that the hill was used as a quarry in the first phase, mostly on the eastern slopes that face the Jezre'el Valley and the main road in the region. Later, the slopes of the hill were utilized for cultivation. It seems that this process reached its zenith in the Roman and Byzantine periods, when farmhouses were built on the hilltop and where tesserae were probably produced. The location of the hill next to the important Roman road from Legio to Ptolemais and its proximity to Geva (Mishmar Ha-'Emeq) and Maximianopolis (Legio) explains the extensive activity that transpired there. During these periods, the surface of the hill was apparently planted with large vineyards that utilized a unique trellising method, as attested to by the winepresses and the adjacent concentrations of tethering installations, scattered throughout the entire hill. In a later phase, probably during the Ottoman period and the time of the British Mandate, enclosure walls divided the area into cultivation plots where olive trees were planted; stone clearance was piled up; buildings were constructed and between them, a rural road was paved. A Turkeman population resided in this region during the twentieth century CE and it can reasonably be assumed that the buildings and the remains of agricultural activity belong to the site of Khirbat el-Khishash, whose name (
orbat Ha-
ushot) reflects the hill, dotted with building remains.

Nice Hotels
Hello all I would love some help with nice hotels in Tampa close to the cruise pier. We want to come down two days early so we can go to Bush Gardens, before we leave out on the cruise.. our cruise is in October. We have been looking for decent hotels not to pricey, but not cheap...lol. Please help with some suggestions.
I would highly recommend the Embassy Suites Downtown. They don't have a shuttle from the airport, but the United Cab taxi was a flat fee of $25. I was just down in Tampa the beginning of June for a long weekend. This hotel was great. You get breakfast and a managers nightly reception. It is so convenient to everything. Right outside the door is a trolley stop. You can ride the trolley all the way down to Ybor city for more shopping and restaurants/pubs. The trolley goes right by Channelside (Tampa Aquarium, more shopping) and the port. I asked the trolley driver if you can bring suitcases onboard and he said yes. So the morning of the cruise you could take the trolley to the port or just grab a quick taxi. The trolley cost $2.50 one way or $5.00 for an all day ticket.
We went to Busch Gardens and used "Blue One" shuttle. click here They picked us up at the Embassy Suites and took us to Busch Gardens. It was $30 for two people one way. You can call them about 30 minutes before you want to leave Busch Gardens to come pick you back up. Check Busch Gardens website for tickets. I got our tickets with the meal plan for the same cost of a one day ticket. The meal plan worked out well.
There's also a Marriott downtown right across from the Embassy Suites. Both of these hotels are right next to the Conference Center and the Tampa Time Forum where they have concerts and events.
Thank you sooo much. What do you know of the Clarion or even the Comfort Suites in that area? I looked into the Embassy and it was a little pricey for the October time frame. $150 per night, they didn't want to spend that much right before a cruise. :)
Hi, Spiritfilled. Did you check prices on Hotels.com? Also Tripadvisor will give you a lot of reviews for hotels in the area. I always put a bid in for hotels in the area I want on Priceline.com. I just got a room at the Doubletree in Newark, New Jersey for Sept. 7th for $85. The going price was $130. I've been getting great deals with Priceline for many years.
Spiritfilled. There is more then one Comfort Suites. You might want to take into consideration the cost of taxis from a Comfort or Clarion if you wanted to go out to eat or shopping etc. Also, where they are in location to Busch Gardens. Compared to the Embassy where you can walk to so much. I stayed at a Comfort Inn once by RJ Stadium on Dale Marby Road and wasn't there much around there.
Embassy Suites
Hello there! We cruised out of Tampa on the Legend last year & also stayed at the Embassy Suites Downtown. I know you had some concerns about the price but it was worth it to us considering the amenities. Their rooms are all suites, which is great for us traveling with 2 kids. Also, the free breakfast is a great perk. It is a hot breakfast with cooked to order omelets, not just some cold cereal (that saved us a lot of $$). They also have to nightly happy hour with free cocktails and snacks. It was a great location, close to the terminal, and close to the Ebor City area of Tampa which has a lot of great restaurants and shops. We bought cheap passes to the trolley & rode around to see the area. I know there are some other Embassy Suites in Tampa, one right near the airport which was cheaper & it would not cost a lot for a cab to the terminal on cruise day, as it is not very far. Good luck & have a great cruise. Tampa is a nice port to leave from! :-)
Thanks everyone....my sister is on Tripadvisor now and I am going to get on Hotels.com. I may even have to look into the Embassy, I kind of like those anyway, well at any rate thanks for all the advice and help I truly appreciate it. Searching for nice hotels is a job in itself, especially when you know little to nothing of the area.
Does the Tampa Embassy Suites have the large suites with two bedrooms, two baths, and a conference room? That could be a solution.

Serves 4 servings
Originally aired March 13, 2009
- 2 tablespoons EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
- 4 salmon fillets, skin removed
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 1/2 pound button mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 leek, thinly sliced and washed thoroughly
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 sheets puff pastry dough, defrosted in the fridge if frozen
- Flour, as needed for rolling out
- 1 egg, lightly beaten with a splash of water
Preheat oven to 400F.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 1 tablespoons. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and sear in the hot pan until golden brown. Remove and reserve.
Return the pan to medium-high heat and add 1 more turn of the pan of EVOO, about 1 tablespoon. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and sear fish a minute on each side. Remove and reserve. Add 1 more turn of the pan of EVOO, about 1 tablespoon. Add the mushrooms and leeks to the pan, and cook until tender, 6-7 minutes. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper then add tarragon, cream and Dijon to the skillet. Bring up to a bubble, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until thickened, 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Roll the puff pastry out with a little flour on a large work area. Quarter a large sheet or halve 2 smaller sheets. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the rectangles of dough on it. Divide the mushroom cream sauce between rectangles of dough, make a small pile in the middle of the sheet. Place a piece of seared fish on top of the sauce and fold the edges of the dough up around the fillet. Trim excess dough. Use egg wash to secure seam then place seam side down on baking sheet. Cut a few slits in the top of each pastry parcel. Brush them with the beaten egg and transfer to the oven. Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden, about 20 minutes.
Serve warm with Honey-Butter Snap Peas alongside.

Lauren Goodger has had a well documented battle with her weight, but it looks like she's finally found the thing that works for her after beginning training for 'Dancing On Ice'.
After being put through her paces for the show which starts in January, the star has unveiled her new slimmer physique on Twitter.
Posing in her cut-out underwear (we're not quite sure what we're calling that creation), she showed off her toned tummy.
As she prepared for a photoshoot, she tweeted: "F* sneaky peak on my shoot 2day from my bb yolo"
Lauren previously vowed to lose weight after being unhappy with pictures of herself on holiday back in March.
She lost over one and a half stone on the Cambridge Diet plan, but admitted she had later put a lot of the weight back on.
But after quitting 'TOWIE' earlier this year to appear on 'Dancing On Ice', Lauren is likely to drop more dress sizes as training for the show continues.
While the official line-up is yet to be confirmed by ITV, other celebs who have been seen taking to the ice include 'Baywatch' star Pamela Anderson and 'X Factor' winner Shayne Ward.

Everybody knows that you should never hit someone who's wearing glasses. And a close look at Terminal Velocity reveals that the makers of the high-flying action film followed that dictum. Sort of.
Five minutes into the movie, before stars Charlie Sheen or Nastassja Kinski even show up, a male ex-KGB agent and a female counterpart engage in some nasty hand-to-foot-to-hand combat. When he's first shown, he's wearing glasses. But when she kicks him in the face, he's not wearing them. In the next shot, his spectacles are on again. Then off again. Then on again. If anyone needed glasses on the set, it was the person in charge of continuity.

COLUMBUS -- Employers and schools would be blocked from forcing applicants and students to disclose passwords for personal social media accounts, under legislation being considered in the Ohio House.
HB 424 is aimed at protecting intrusions into Facebook, Twitter and other online accounts of individuals applying for jobs or to attend educational institutions.
"If someone is looking for a job or an education, they should, under Ohio law, be comfortable that their personal life will stay private," Rep. Heather Bischoff, D-Blacklick, a primary co-sponsor of the bipartisan legislation, said in testimony submitted to the House's Commerce, Labor and Technology Committee.
The bill, which had its first hearing Wednesday, would not stop potential employers or schools from conducting searches of public websites for information about candidates. It would also allow them to require passwords for devices or online accounts provided to their workers at company expense.
Violators of the proposed law changes could face criminal charges or lawsuits from affected individuals.
Bischoff said in testimony that the bill is not designed to hurt businesses or stop them "from properly vetting employees. What it does is establish what is within their right to research ... and what is considered private with regard to social media."

ANDRE Greipel was proclaimed the undisputed king of Adelaide's East End by claiming his third prologue crown last night.
The two-time Tour Down Under champion again proved why he is rated as one of the best sprinters on the planet in front of an estimated 108,000 fans.
When his Lotto-Belisol teammates set him up to take pole position, knowing Orica-GreenEDGE had positioned Australians Matt Goss for the main prize, the German's powerful legs were too good on the Rundle Road straight.
Goss was kept at bay while Greipel's Kiwi teammate Greg Henderson claimed third place after the German made his mark at the Tour Down Under in 2008, claiming the prologue at Glenelg before winning his first East End classic last year.
The German said familiarity and team stability had made the win possible.
"It makes it easier because we had the same guys (teammates) as last year," he said.
"We just stick to the same plan we know how hard it is to hit the front on this circuit.
"But Oli Kaisen did the job to close the break because we knew we had to take the responsibility.
"Then Tim Wellens kept us on the front of the bunch and Adam Hansen had to take the decision when we started the lead out and he did it like last year and I'm really happy we could finish it off."
Greipel, who donned a helmet better suited to a time-trial than a road race, made his winning move with two laps remaining after Lotto-Belisol's lead-out train was well positioned for the triumph.
As the peloton jostled for teams' supremacy Greipel proved he is the master of the East End when he left Goss in his wake.
But Greipel didn't have it all his own way.
The warm-up event to the six-stage Santos Tour Down Under which starts tomorrow from Prospect Road, turned into a unsuspecting two-horse race during the early stages of the 30-lap race.
People's Choice Classic fans were admiring the courage of the peloton's senior citizen Jens Voigt, 41, from RadioShack Leopard when he asked all the questions with an attack from the off.
Wild card UniSA team member Zakkary Dempster, 25, ensured Voigt wasn't getting away when he kept pace with the domestique as both riders looked for an early tactical edge.
Given the Victorian had the sprint pedigree to cause an upset, Voigt was endeavouring to position Belgian Ben Hermans in the hope of winning the 60-minute race.
Dempster and Voigt took charge of the 51km criterium just 10 minutes into the prologue when the pair opened up a 44-second gap before lap 10 before the Victorian claimed the first preme sprint of the balmy evening.
But their breakaway antics were short-lived when Lotto-Belisol and Argentine outfit Argos-Shimano were driving the peloton's charge behind Voigt and Dempster in an effort to bridge the gap after 16 laps.
The peloton made up lost ground quickly with key sprinters Greipel and Goss well protected by their teams as the East End cooled down to perfect 20C race temperatures after Adelaide's maximum reached 28C yesterday.
But after Dempsey landed all four preme sprint wins and $2200 in prizemoney the peloton had enough of watching the Victorian and the German lead the bike race.
Saxo-Tinkoff's Chris Anker Sorensen led the charge at lap 21 after the peloton caught Voigt and Dempsey but with five laps remaining the race was destined to be a Greipel victory.
Greipel ripped up the tarmac during his warm-up win last year with the race lap record - 1min 40sec - and the likeable German again didn't disappoint his faithful fans last night.
Last year's winner claimed a morale-boosting victory in the curtain-raiser to the Tour, pipping his key sprint rival, Goss, for the win.
The street circuit race - 30 laps of a 1.7km course - traditionally helps write the form guide for the upcoming sprint showdowns in the Tour Down Under, with Greipel now a marked man in the 19-team strong peloton.
Despite the Lance Armstrong scandal clogging headlines in the lead-up, thousands turned up to watch the Sunday night race, although numbers appeared well down on the 100,000 who attended in previous years.
Voigt, a teammate of 2010 Tour de France winner Andy Schleck in Radioshack Leopard, said the criterium was invaluable to riders ahead of the first major Tour of the year.
"We get to see who is hot and who is not," said Voigt.
"It is about checking everyone out, their form, their jerseys, their bikes and to see who is pedaling well, who is fit, who is carrying the extra kilo. It's important."
The six-stage Santos Tour Down Under starts on Tuesday.
Course changes to the 753km season opener for the world's leading professional teams are expected to prevent sprinters dominating the Tour.

The statewide destruction of hurricane Sandy is heartbreaking and almost unfathomable. My thoughts and prayers are with our friends, neighbors, and family members who have struggled with the impact of the storm.
At William Paterson University, we have been very fortunate. The students who have remained in the residence halls have stayed safe and sound throughout the storm and its aftermath with onsite support from residence life staff and public safety officers. By properly responding to safety warnings, the students have stayed out of harms way.
As you know, the campus has been without power since Monday evening. PSEG crew members are working hard but have not yet been able to provide us with an estimate on when to expect a restoration of power. We will continue to update you through our full range of communications on a timely basis so that you are well informed of our progress and plans for reopening the campus. We will update you as early as possible tomorrow (Thursday) regarding the possibility of reopening on Friday.
The condition of the campus has been remarkably strong. We have lost a few trees and one solar panel but there is no damage to buildings and no flooding.
I toured the campus this morning with Steve Bolyai and Bob Fulleman and found the students in good spirits and our facilities and grounds staff already hard at work clearing the debris.
I would like to offer a public thank you to our residence life, facilities, public safety, and food service staff members who have worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and well being of the students and the campus. This has been accomplished while they and their families, like all of us, have faced the challenges of Hurricane Sandy off of the campus. Thank you also to all of our students, faculty, and staff for the cooperation and flexibility needed during this difficult time. This commitment and collaboration is yet another example of the strength of our William Paterson University community.
I wish all the best to you and your families for a swift and smooth recovery from the impact of this unprecedented storm.

When romance novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan) is rescued from a horrific car accident by reclusive loner Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates, in her Academy Award® winning role), he finds out she's his "number one fan" and has read all of his books. But when an enraged Annie discovers that Paul kills off her favorite character (Misery Chastain) in his latest book, she decides to hold him captive and "bring her back to life" in a new novel. A terrifying psychological game ensues as Annie steps further and further back from the brink of reality, while Paul tries desperately to find a way out - before his deadline is up. Based on the chilling bestseller by Stephen King, Misery is "one of the best horror movies ever made." (Time Magazine)

Join us on the new C-Pop podcast where Taylor and Jessilyn discuss, debate and sometimes deride pop culture with a strong sense of humor and a focus on Christ. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
Pastor Wilfredo De Jesús, named to Time magazine's 2013 list of the 100 most influential people in the world, carries a burden for the poor and disenfranchised. Now he has written a book that explains the biblical case for social activism, In the Gap: What Happens When God's People Stand Strong.
Widely known as "Pastor Choco," De Jesús is the senior pastor of New Life Covenant Church in Chicago, the largest church in the U.S. Assemblies of God Fellowship with 17,000 attendees. The church has more than 130 ministries that reach the broken-hearted, poor and homeless, including prostitutes, drug addicts and gang members.
In the Gap, which is available in English and Spanish, draws its title from Ezekiel 22:30, where God laments the lack of someone to stand "in the gap" for His people. De Jesús writes that "a gap represents a place of weakness, vulnerability and danger" and could be a social problem such as illiteracy, racism or human trafficking, or something more personal, such as a prodigal child, an unfaithful spouse or an abusive family member.
After years of standing in the gap, De Jesús has come to understand what makes a "gap person"—the champion who protects or supports someone in need, a man or woman who finds the courage to sacrifice everything to represent God and block evil from destroying those He loves.
De Jesús gives nine examples of courageous people in the Scriptures—men and women who recognized desperate needs and trusted God to use them to make a difference: Nehemiah, Esther, Noah, David, Barnabas, John the Baptist, Gideon, Deborah and Caleb.
De Jesús believes that little has changed in the more than 2,000 years since the last of these biblical characters lived.
"People are still in distress, and God is still looking for men and women to stand in the gap in our homes, in our neighborhoods, in our cities and towns, in our nation, and in every corner of the world," he writes.

Tigers' Miguel Cabrera Takes Aim at 2,000-Hit MarkMarch 25, 2014
With Opening Day fast approaching, Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera is in line to reach 2,000 career hits before the weather in Detroit gets warm.
The two-time reigning American League MVP has 1,995 hits through 11 seasons, leaving him just five shy of a milestone that 276 other players have accomplished.
Given his all-world capabilities at the plate, Cabrera figures to reach 2,000 during the season's first week, and he could even get there by the second or third game. Come to think of it, since it's Cabrera we're talking about, would anybody really be surprised if he piles up all five hits in his first game?
Kansas City Royals pitcher James Shields—who will face the Tigers on Opening Day—might have something to say about that, but the right-hander probably wouldn't say it to Miggy's face.
Shields has been one of the better pitchers in the American League for three years now, yet Cabrera sees a punching bag where the rest of us see an imposing workhorse. His 40 career at-bats against Shields have yielded 17 hits (.425 batting average), including two home runs and six doubles, not to mention four walks and just six strikeouts.
Unquestionably the game's preeminent hitter, Cabrera will cruise past 2,000 hits without a second thought, his eyes likely on a World Series and bigger milestones.
As evidenced by its 276 members and counting, the 2,000-hit club isn't nearly as exclusive as the 3,000-hit club, which is comprised of just 28 players.
No 30-year-old can be considered a shoo-in to pile up 1,005 more hits in his career, but Cabrera is awfully close. With nine consecutive 180-hit seasons to his name, Miggy's ETA for 3,000 is 2019 or 2020.

Just saw this article this morning,apparently someone shot 19 people at a Mothers Day Parade in New Orleans?? These acts just make me wonder WTH has gone wrong with this once great country?

Oh, crap! Another demonstration of the evils of fire power. Media, no doubt, will be off and running nonstop with this. Amazing, how every time gun control by this administration is brought up, time and time again, something like this occurs. :confused: Is there an Oz behind the curtain?

Need I say more?
It's really sad when people can't enjoy going to a Parade??
These acts of cowardly violence needs to stop
How many parades do you think they have in Iraq? Either the planner is to be blamed for running a parade through a known gang "street" violence route or you are just an idiot for being there.
Don't plan your mothers day event in a hot zone.
Come on the person said someone always gets shot there. So they keep running the parade there and these idiots keep going to it.
Yes it is sad that they can't have a parade there but lets not be stupid. Relocate the stupid parade or let people deal with only having 39 a year and get the much more important gang issue taken care of.
You all know I'm not a conspiracy theory kind of person, but do all of these mass shootings seem fishy to anyone else??
The "cause"? There is no cause for the irrational evil that shoots strangers and kids. It just is.
One day, somebody will grab up one of these hyenas, take him/them out into the bush, gut shoot him (or them) and leave a note. Word will get around.
One day, the mass media will do a short story about an unnamed POS who shot a kid and then begged for his life when he was run to ground. The report will say that it was rumoured he was impotent and girls found him ugly. No names. No fame, no attention. Just disgust. Word will get around.
If we really want to end it, we can end it.......at least for the ones who can read.
