Buying a metal carport is a big decision as it will be installed on your property, most probably next to your house.

METAL CARPORTS PRICES Redding, CA
You're ready to buy a metal carport, but you're not sure about metal carport prices in Redding, CA? Steel buildings are among the most affordable types of structures, which often cost less than any other buildings or storage units. Every metal carport cover provides great value, but there is a difference in each building price that you buy based on various factors.
The most important ones are selecting the correct building type and dimensions that include the width, length, and height. Yes, the height of your building is also a factor to be considered while pricing an enclosed garage or a clear span metal building. Apart from these common features, the extra elements that you add such as garage doors, walk-in doors, insulation and extra mobile home anchors based on the building foundation you select also affect the price of a metal carport.
When you want to protect your cars, motorhomes, horses, boats and agricultural equipment, pre-engineered metal buildings are highly recommended. Buying low maintenance metal carports, enclosed steel garages, lean to carports in Redding, CA instead of squandering your money on wooden buildings is a wise decision due to metal over wood benefits such as:
Average life of a metal carport is nearly about 30-40 years with low maintenance, whereas wooden buildings have a life span of 15-20 years with high maintenance. Viking Steel Structures offer 20 years rust through warranty on every metal structure we sell, which means more than 50% of your metal building life is covered.
Metal structures are flexible and can be designed based on individual needs due to their flexible building pattern.
Pre-engineered metal structures are manufactured in parts, these parts are also referred as steel building components which make a complete structure. Every component is a separate entity thus you get the flexibility while designing the steel structure to fine-tune these components based on your necessity.
Wood is expensive and involves high maintenance costs, which can be as high as the twice the amount you have paid for the building. Whereas, metal is less expensive which makes it cheaper than wood and involves practically less maintenance cost. When you are looking for affordable prefabricated workshops, horse barns, enclosed garages, carports in Redding, CA, steel is what you should prefer against wood.
Metal doesn't shrink, split, swell, twist, is insects free and doesn't decay, which makes metal carports, horse barns, enclosed garages a great low maintenance solution to all your needs.

What a heartwarming story! Please keep these congregations in your prayers.
(Hat tip: TitusOneNine)
"[I]f we fail, then the whole world,…all that we have known and cared for…will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that…men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'"

Tanning Mom Patricia Krentcil Records A Rap Song [VIDEO]
Tanning Mom Patricia Krentcil's latest try to capitalize on her fame: a rap song.
Wearing a white Marilyn Monroe-style dress, the reformed tanner has recorded "It's Tan Mom" according to RumorFix.com.
The song will be available for download on iTunes on May 6 reports Splash News. She says there will be a video as well.
Patricia Krentcil, who wants to cash in on her fame to pay off legal bills, says she was influenced by Rihanna's recent hit Diamonds but gave it her own touch. "I took all the lyrics and what was written in front of me and I scrambled it up and I put my own words into the song," Patricia tells RumorFix.
A sampling of the lyrics:
It's the Tan Mom (expletive) are you ready?
I've got a message for you, protection from the sun.
Ha ha ha!
Her Turn To Cash In
It's the latest project by Patricia Krentcil to cash in and get back at those who brought attention to her deep bronze appearance while she was still in legal trouble and made her a prisoner in her own home.
Patricia Krentcil has launched her own line of self tanning products with skin expert Dana Ramos, Real Tan Mom Healthy Glow. Ramos has also helped Patricia Krentcil get her own skin back in shape from years of tanning, something she hasn't done "in forever" and is working on a comedy routine.
And she wants out of New Jersey. "I don't like this town at all or this state, more or less … I wanna go somewhere beautiful," she told NBCNews.com in March.
She has tried her hand at a live drag queen show and wants to write a movie about her experience in the national spotlight. She also posed topless for a series of pictures.
Watch the video to hear a sample of Patricia Krentcil's song.

PHOTOPHILE- Poplar mechanics: Bartlett's familiar Monticello amputation
It's a classic tale of a tree whose days in the sun had come to an end. For Monticello officials, the felling of a 115-foot-tall tulip poplar on the West lawn was the sad yet necessary ending to a very long life.
How long? They're not sure, as most of the trunk's growth rings were destroyed by an invading root disease called Phytophthora.
The Thomas Jefferson Foundation aims to maintain the house and grounds– a World Heritage Site– as close to Jefferson's functional and aesthetic intent as possible. The placement and age of the tree made it both a blessing and a curse beside such a historic structure.
Professional arborists had long warned that the tree's rotting frame could one day fall and damage the cherished landmark.
"The county was divided into removers and preservers," says Maryland-based aboriculturist Donald Blair, who worked with late Charlottesville mayor/arborist Mitch Van Yahres to find creative ways to keep the tree structurally intact.
"The care that Monticello gave this tree allowed it to remain standing until it aged naturally," Blair says. "There were people who wanted to rip it down, but it got a reprieve."
The tree has been so firmly rooted into the image of Monticello that until 1976, the image of the house gracing the back of the American $2 bill included a tree in that spot. Jefferson wrote in his garden book that he planted a tulip poplar there in 1807. Is this the one?
The Garden Club of Virginia, investigating in the 1930s, thought so. However, the late George Van Yahres, father of Mitch, disagreed.
As the tree ranged through sickness and health throughout its lifetime, the Van Yahres Tree Company– and later, Blair– created various cabling systems to keep it standing. In 1927, George Van Yahres pruned the top of the diseased tree into four "fingers" to create what is today the tree's canopy, while in 1978, Mitch Van Yahres cabled the tree to two other trees on the West Lawn.
When concerns about the tree's stability resurfaced in 1997, Blair constructed an internal cabling system to hold the four fingers together.
Whether the tree was planted by Jefferson, it has seen much of Monticello's history. That came to a rip-roaring end June 25 and 26 when it was felled by crews from Bartlett Tree Experts.
According to Peter Hatch, Monticello's director of gardens and grounds, the Foundation is not yet sure if it will use the tree's remains to create mementoes for sale. Plans to plant a new tulip poplar in its place are also uncertain. Nevertheless, the impact of the aesthetic loss will be felt by Monticello's visitors and those who make the visits possible.
"It's gonna be a sad thing, it's such a beautiful tree," Robert Johnson, a Monticello grounds worker of 31 years, says. "There's gonna be an open space, and it'll take a while to get used to not seeing it there."
The tulip poplar will leave a gap on Monticello's West Lawn.
As the only house in America named a World Heritage Site, Monticello's main structure would be compromised if the tree were to fall.
Peter Hatch, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation's director of gardens and grounds
The Thomas Jefferson Foundation might create mementoes from the tree's remains. A felled beech in the '50s yielded gavels for the Democratic National Convention.
The poplar, relieved of its canopy, awaits its fate on June 26.

I have been following the story of this tree. Thanks for the good background information and sharing the neat pictures!
God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools. - John Muir

Oroville >> A 34-year-old Elk Grove man was taken into custody recently by Oroville police in connection with the thefts in January and February of hundreds of gallons of gasoline from separate facilities.
Oroville police detective Ruben Quihuiz confirmed the arrest Friday in a phone call.
Quihiz said a detective arrested Edward Valila, 34, on Monday in Yolo County and transported him to Butte County Jail.
He was arraigned Thursday and pleaded not guilty to two counts of felony grand theft, according to Butte County Superior Court records online.
Quihuiz said they got a tip shortly after beginning an investigation into the theft of 830 gallons of premium gasoline on Feb. 11 at the Royal Mini Mart 76 gas station at 2970 Feather River Blvd.
Apparently, A Yuba City California Highway Patrol officer had pulled Valila and two passengers over and impounded the truck they were in because Valila had a suspended license, Quihuiz said.
At the time, Valila was cited and released.
However, the tow truck driver impounding the truck had seen photos on Facebook of a vehicle from an earlier gas station theft and contacted authorities.
Quihuiz said Valila was on felony probation for grand theft and stolen property.
"Basically, he was doing the same thing out of Placer County," the detective said.
Oroville police followed up on the tip. Earlier, they had seen videos of the Mini Mart robbery, along with video from an early morning heist in January at Frank"s Beacon on Oro Dam Boulevard.
At the Beacon heist, $3,200 worth of premium gasoline and diesel fuel were taken from two separate pumps. The two pumps were also damaged.
After seeing the videos, detectives noted specific details about the truck. When they went to look at the truck in Yuba City, the investigators identified it as the truck used at the Beacon.
Quihuiz said although the video footage from the 76 station was somewhat grainy and it was hard to tell, detectives were able to determine the make and model.
Oroville detectives caught up with Valila in Yolo County, where he had been arrested March 10 for operating a stolen U-Haul, Quihuiz said.
Valila remains in custody at Butte County Jail. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on April 3 in Butte County Superior Court.
Although at least one other person was reportedly involved in the Mini Mart incident, Quihiz said they don"t know who they are.
The case is still under investigation.

I'm not sure whose advice President Bush is listening to on funding the National Endowment for the Arts, but Rocket Man's post below brings a couple of great songs to mind. First, a word from a man wise in the ways of the world — Merle Haggard:
When a President goes through the White House door,
An' does what he says he'll do.
We'll all be drinkin' free bubble-ubb,
Eatin' that rainbow stew.
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon,
Underneath that sky of blue.
All be drinkin' free bubble-ubb,
An' eatin' that rainbow stew.
Then we turn to an all-American classic that was resuscitated for "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" — "The Big Rock Candy Mountain":
There's a lake of gin
We can both jump in
And the handouts grow on bushes
In the new-mown hay
We can sleep all day
And the bars all have free lunches
Where the mail train stops
And there ain't no cops
And the folks are tender-hearted
Where you never change your socks
And you never throw rocks
And your hair is never parted.
And please don't forget the chorus:
Oh the buzzin' of the bees
In the cigarette trees
Near the soda water fountain
At the lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
On the big rock candy mountain.
UPDATE: Two readers wrote to point out that the reference in Merle's "Rainbow Stew" lyrics should be to the old 7-Up knockoff "Bubble Up," rather than "bubble-ubb." I assumed everyone knew that the song and would recognize that the lyrics were phonetic! Bubble Up is owned by Monarch Beverage Company — the company whose first soft drink offering was Kickapoo Joy Juice, a citrus-flavored soda inspired by the tonic of the same name in Al Capp

Canadian Network of Women's Shelters and Transition Houses / Réseau canadien des maisons d'hébergement
Thank you for visiting our posting – we hope you can help us!
The Canadian Network of Women's Shelters & Transition Houses / Réseau canadien des maisons d'hébergement is an emerging national network united to end violence against women. The founding members of the Network are Canada's 15 provincial / territorial and aboriginal sheltering organizations, who have a collective membership of over 350 emergency and second stage shelters for abused women and their children.
The goal of the Network is to assist shelter organizations to share promising practices in order to make new advances in the development of high quality services, to establish a strong national voice so that shelters will be able to act together to identify and address common issues and goals, and to ensure that our agenda is well-represented at the national level. We believe that governments and societies are responsible for ensuring women's human rights, that violence violates women's human rights and equality and that the women's shelter movement plays a critical leadership role in the national and global effort to end violence against women and their children.
Women's shelter and transition house staff, administration, board members and volunteers, and women experiencing, escaping and/or recovering from abuse.
National and International stakeholders such as government and NGOs, such as the Global Network of Women's Shelters.
We are currently looking for a logo that will represent our goals, guiding principles and feminist values. The logo should reflect strength, diversity, togetherness, and collaboration. Common imagery used in women's shelter logos includes the symbol for the female gender, circles (representing unity), houses that appear safe and warm, hands, doves or dove wings, etc. These symbols are provided as examples only, and do not necessarily need to be incorporated.
As this is a Canadian Network, all publications, etc, will be in both official Canadian languages, French and English. The name of the organization and tagline (Canadian Network of Women's Shelters & Transition Houses: United to End Violence Against Women / Réseau canadien des maisons d'hébergement: Unies contre la violence faite aux femmes) will always appear in both languages, and therefore the logo cannot be "built" on or around the letters in the acronym for our name.
Thank you once again for looking at our posting. We are very excited and passionate about this initiative, and hope that you will choose to help us launch it!

Outreach plays a vital part in our life as a church. We aim to make a difference well beyond our parish boundaries. We support and work with teams that fight poverty and spread the good news of Jesus locally, nationally and around the world.
Serving the community is the heartbeat of life at St Michael's. Our coffee shop, our meeting rooms and our professional pre-school and nursery are used by hundreds of local families, businesses, groups and individuals all year round. And the generosity of all those who volunteer is constantly bringing reality to our vision of living to make a difference.

On the scene at the 'I'll Be Your Mirror' ATP festival day 2: The Roots, The Afghan Whigs, and more
Afghan Whigs
- Music
Image Credit: Ilya S. Savenok/Getty Images[/caption]
Day two of I'll Be Your Mirror offered up a bevy of surprises – not the least of which was running into Bob Boilen of NPR's All Songs Considered.
Singer songwriter Joseph Arthur brought his stream-of-consciousness rock poetry to the indoor stage with songs like "Slide Away" and the breezy, nostalgic "I Miss the Zoo." On the latter he donned a white lab coat and, in a deft work of performance art, painted an eerie human face while singing (his self-made album art has been nominated for a Grammy).
Following him up outside was Charles Bradley, a.k.a. The Screaming Eagle of Soul. Let me tell you, this man has a life story: Homeless for a time, the Gainesville, Florida native eventually found his way to New York and started performing as a James Brown cover artist known as Black Velvet. Then about a decade ago, in his mid-50s, he was discovered by Daptone Records and last year released his debut album, No Time for Dreaming.
Yesterday's performance was a joyous funk/soul revival act, Bradley hootin' and hollerin' and gyratin' his hips like the Godfather himself. After playing a generous blend of originals – "Heartaches and Pain," "The World (Is Goin' Up in Flames)" – and covers, like Clarence Carter's "Slip Away" and James Brown's "Funky Good Time," Bradley closed the show by climbing into the audience and doling out hugs. The man was so genuine and so talented (his nickname is well-earned) that none of it felt hokey or forced. In the words of a nearby fan, "That motherf—er is the truth."
Then it was off to see Australian psych-folk trio Dirty Three. Violinist and de-facto bandleader Warren Ellis, a gangly, bearded Charles Manson lookalike, commanded the stage with a manic, deranged intensity. He thrashed and kicked and leered as he and the group banged out their explosive instrumental epics, including "The Pier" and "Some Summers they Drop Like Flys." But as enthralling as the music was, the most memorable bits were Ellis' maniacal introductions: "This is a song about coming home for Christmas and finding out Santa didn't come and everybody died. This a song, ladies and gentlemen, about stuff like that."
Detroit's The Dirtbombs were up next, and what a rollicking treat they were. Known for blending punk rock and Motown soul, their muscular lineup consisted of two bass players and two drummers in addition to Mick Collins' vocals and guitar. That enormous rhythm section – come on, it's 80% of the band – gives their music a brute physicality.
Segueing effortlessly from garage-tinged R&B ("Underdog") to disco dance-rock ("Good Life") to swaggering funk ("Candy A—"), Collins and co. arguably delivered the day's most enthusiastic performance. Pouring sweat, drinking beer, waving their instruments around, it felt like watching a group of 17-year-olds playing a punk show in their friend's basemen (that's a good thing). For the close, Collins simply walked off stage, leaving the drummers and bassists to hammer out five-minutes of tuneless percussive bliss.
Inside once more, buzzy relative newcomers The Antlers shifted the mood 180 degrees with their transcendent soundscapes. Drawing from their two most recent records, Hospice and Burst Apart, the Brooklyn-based indie darlings played with an orchestral grandeur that was at once lush and haunting. Think The Cure's Disintegration but without the gothic dread; epic and drenched in reverb, with vocalist Peter Silberman boasting power and range to rival Steve Perry on highlights "Sylvia" and "Putting the Dog to Sleep."
Later in the evening, artist favorite Mark Lanegan Band (at least three earlier groups hyped up his show) performed his signature menacing proto-blues. On stage he did little more than grip the mic stand and glower, letting his deep, gruff, inimitable voice – equal parts Tom Waits and Billy Gibbons – anchor the four musicians behind him. "Riot in My House," "Harborview Hospital," and others dished up ferocious, testosterone-fueled grooves; when he closed with "Methamphetamine Blues," a savage work of industrial blues-rock played in the key of hate, I thought the building might collapse.
Outside, Swedish-Argentinian nü-folkster José González brought his own brand of stripped-down intensity. His mastery of the acoustic guitar is evident, and he has a penchant for songwriting that is both literate and urgent. Occasionally the constant negativity wore thin – a major chord wouldn't kill the guy – but his technical dexterity was a wonder in itself, and songs like "Lovestain" and "Remain" are very, very good at what they do, which is earnestly conveying regret. He ended with a cover of Massive Attack's trip-hop anthem "Teardrop," revealing unheard nuances with his propulsive acoustic take.
Then, finally, the true headliners took the stage: the newly-reunited Afghan Whigs. I must say first that I was twelve years old when these alt-rock icons broke up in 2001, so for me their live show was one of discovery. What I discovered, first and foremost, is that Greg Dulli, lead singer of the Whigs and guest curator of the festival, has a hell of a voice. I mean, this thing was made for a stadium, like a modern-day Roger Daltrey.
He built the band with a volume to match, employing not one, not two, but three guitars, and a cello (Necessary? Probably not. Awesome? Definitely). Dulli and the crew rocked a set that spanned the whole of their lauded career, from "Son of the South" off 1990's Up In It to "66" from 1998's 1965. They also made sure to treat their devoted fans to some gems, bringing out former backup singer Steve Meyer to help with "Gentlemen," and even calling up Marcy Mays of Scrawl to perform their 1993 collaboration "My Curse."
And of course it wouldn't be a Whigs set without some diggin'-in-the-crates covers. Dulli, who's been called "a black singer in a white body," dipped into an extensive R&B catalog, taking on Marie "Queenie" Lyons' "See and Don't See," The Supremes' "Baby Don't Leave Me," and Frank Ocean's "Love Crimes" and "Thinking About You," and strutting the stage with a rapper's braggadocio. The band's final song, the cavernous "Faded," bled into the searing guitar line from Prince's "Purple Rain," cementing Dulli's dichotomous ambitions. After 11 years out of the race, the Afghan Whigs have relaunched at a full sprint.
Easily 2/3 of the crowd dispersed after the Whigs played, but those who remained bore witness to one of the hallowed truths in contemporary music: the Roots are the best live act around. I don't even know where to begin. First, kudos to those guys – playing before a dwindling audience of perhaps 150 people, they could easily have phoned in the show. What's one more live gig to Jimmy Fallon's backing band?
But if the crowd size was a factor it was impossible to tell: their performance was one of the most enthused and technically proficient that I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Rapper Black Thought dedicated the show to the memories of the late Chuck Brown, the godfather of Go-Go, and MCA of the Beastie Boys, before launching into a Go-Go rendition of the Beastie's "Paul Revere" that was nothing short of miraculous.
The rest of the concert can best be described as "a whirlwind musical odyssey with your hosts, the Roots." Of course they played their own hits ("Mellow My Man," Proceed," "Break You Off") frequently dropping to immaculate jazz breaks or tossing in exterior tidbits, like plucking the horn line from OutKast's "SpottieOttieDopalicious" during "You Got Me." But then they threw their own catalog to the wind and tore through an eclectic medley: "Sweet Child O' Mine," "Bad to the Bone," "Jungle Boogie," "Who Do You Love," even transforming Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" into a murky dub cut
. Add to all that the fact that they didn't break once between songs, and performed the last half hour with the breakneck energy and false endings of an encore. It was a true marvel of showmanship. When they hurtled to a close at precisely 12:59, it was like waking up from a fever dream.

"We Want Mike Morse"
" ._ _ . ._ _ . _ _ . _ _ _ . . _ . _ . _ _ _ _ _ . _ . . . . ."
To most people the above crypt ed type is a by-gone era relic of communication mostly done between long distance communicators or ships at sea. But to me it seems like a fitting code to use when the Tampa Bay Rays might be seeking out another body, and one who could take on multiple player duties while being a member of the Rays roster.
Maybe it is more than fitting that I tried to throw out a makeshift code of "We Want Mike Morse" in the above telegraph possibly showing at least one member of the Rays Republic's adamant desire that the Rays go out ad get this desired First Base/DH and most of all, right handed hitting option.
Possibly it is an omen today that temps in the Tampa Bay region are hitting the Spring and Summer averages showing maybe even a higher power wanting this deal to go to fruition. But the total reality today is that the Washington Nationals since they signed their desired 1B Adam LaRoche to the dotted line, Morse might be a few dashes or dots away from finding a new vista to call home, and since Morse code is associated with water…..possibly ending up on a team who's own hometown is surrounded on 3- sides by water.
Some might ponder the idea that since Morse is in his "walk" season before he hits free agency for the first time a trade for him might not be in the Rays best interest, but if you dig beyond the surface and truly see the stats for what they are…Morse could be just the right fit for Rays Manager Joe Maddon's sometimes maddening system of plug-and-go lineup shifting roles and reversing logic to find wins, key hits and much needed runs.
Morse's 3-season line of .296/.345/.516 might not just out on the page at you, but it is clearly a huge upgrade to the 2012 Carlos Pena debacle and combined with already in-house option James Loney, the "Maddoning" lineup possibilities and positioning is simply boggling with right and left handed options possibly being inter-changed at First and DH with the addition of Morse.
If you really think about it, if the Rays did trade for Morse who is set to make $ 6.75 million this season, you get twice the bag (and less K's) for the slightly over $ 250,000 the money the Rays paid Pena in 2012 to mostly tap his cap on Home Runs and be the returning smiling face. It might surprise you that Morse had over 5 years of MLB service time split with 2 seasons each with the Seattle Mariners and Nats, but making Morse and even bigger prize for the Rays is another small bit of flexibility that Maddon enjoys even more.
Morse can also play other spots in the infield besides 1st (SS, 3B) as well as possibly a corner outfield position. With Desmond Jennings making a slight shift left in 2013 to post up at B J Upton's old haunt, Centerfield, Morse could play right into Maddon's always mind-bending game of match-up and situational defense possibly finally securing Ben Zobrist for mostly infield and outfield duties from time to time.
Instantly some of the cautious Rays Republic followers will bring up the pure fact in 2012 Morse only hit out 18 Rawlings while in 2011 he hit a career high 31 orbs into the cheap seats.
But even as you would notice Morse had a dip in his offensive numbers in 2012, he was also playing throughout the season with more than 1 nagging injury and still put together a season that showed his commitment to the game, confidence in his abilities and provided a added power option for the Nats.
That in a nut shell is the type of guy the Rays need. He fits the Maddon profile of being able to post up at various positions, plus has been in the post season race, plus played in a highly competitive NL East division that yearly produces enough stress and pressure to crumble a tea kettle. The dashes and dots all point to Morse as being the kind of player who will transcend under Maddon. But you have to ask if the Rays have the personnel to pull off such a heist. Why yes they do!
Considering the Nats lost out on former Rays RP J P Howell, maybe Friedman could patchwork up a nice package with a centerpiece of Southpaws Cesar Ramos or Alex Torres as viable Bullpen options. Torres has limited relief appearances, but his 2012 chances showed he might have a better calling in the MLB as a relief option than as a starter. Ramos we already know has the goods to be a consistent reliever and would be a valuable piece of the Rays Bullpen puzzle to lose, but if it bring a hint of better offensive presence….I'd jump on it and ride it until it dies.
Combine either of these leftie options, or possibly send a piece like OF Brandon Guyer or maybe even someone in the minors who is a few years away from MLB ready and if you are Washington you get a need filled, a extra bit of outfield security and a player developing in the wings to fill a future need, possibly in the infield.
Now this is not to convey the Rays will even take a gander at Morse with more than the usual Friedman cell call to ponder, wonder and suggest ad lib, but with camps beginning to open in just over 35 days, things concerning Morse might just hit a fast and furious pace as five other MLB squads also seek their own "Morse code" answer for 2013. I am expecting to hear a lot of dots and dashes over the next few days with hopefully Friedman finding the right combo and most conducive package to net the Rays Morse's talents for 2013.
Maybe I need to do it 1 more time for clarity: " ._ _ . ._ _ . _ _ . _ _ _ . . _ . _ . _ _ _ _ _ . _ . . . . ."

This is one of the most sick and twisted stories of incest and abuse that I've heard in a while. Six brothers from a small county in North Carolina have been charged with the sexual assault of their little sister, 16, who allegedly endured their abuse from the time she was four until she was almost 15.
Perquimans County Sheriff Eric Tilley said he was "disgusted" by the situation, and by that I'm sure he meant throw up in my mouth and weep for humanity appalled. He also said he blamed the parents. "It's your responsibility as a parent to teach [your children] right and wrong," he said. "When you see a child doing something that is totally wrong and you don't correct them, then the child thinks it's OK."
All six brothers purportedly participated in the alleged abuse, which ranges from rape to sexual assault. Aaron Jackson, 19, Benjamin Jackson, also 19, Nathaniel Jackson, 21, Mathew Jackson, 23, Jon Jackson, 25, and Eric Jackson, 27, were arrested last week and are being held on $150,000 bond. Their parents, John Jackson, 65, and Nita Jackson, 54, were also charged with felony child abuse, as they were aware of the attacks yet did nothing to stop it.
Tilley said, "Part of the investigation revealed that, at one point, the mother observed some of this activity and never did anything about it."
The investigation into the reclusive, "bizarre" family began in December 2012, when Eric Jackson confided to his pastor about the abuse. Tilley said that the pastor told him, "You know, that's not a normal situation. That's not the way a normal family lives, you know, this is absolutely wrong and to do the right thing, you need to go and talk with the authorities."
"When he came in and told us that, our initial belief was that we probably wouldn't get far with this case. We probably knew we were gonna get some resistance because this family is, like I said, they're close-knit. They stay to themselves, you know, they didn't go to school, so they're not really out socially," Tilley said.
The father is described as being "anti-government" and "anti-schools." Sheriff Tilley said, "The children were home schooled with very limited education ... they were very private and the whole yard has a fence around it -- like a little compound. They're very different."
The authorities had two more of the brother confirm the allegations, but didn't have enough evidence to make an arrest. Before they could could speak to the girl, the family relocated. "Her parents refused to let us talk to her and [they] moved to Colorado," said Tilley.
The Department of Human Services in Colorado Springs was able to take custody of the victim, and in an eight-hour interview, the teen confirmed everything her brothers had confessed.
The brothers and parents were indicted by a grand jury in North Carolina in April, and are due in court May 19. The parents are not cooperating with the police, and are said to have fled back to Colorado after posting bond.
Talk about heartbreakingly tragic! This is one of those cases where it seems like the parents got off too easily. Those poor kids never had a shot! Even just the fact that they eventually got up the courage to talk to a pastor about it ... they likely didn't understand what they were doing for many years, due to a horrible, neglectful upbringing.
The sheriff said that even thought they were supposedly home-schooled, the oldest had trouble even writing his own name. Absolutely devastating for all of these siblings -- most especially for the girl, but even for the boys who may not have been consciously aware of what they were doing, and now have to live with what they did.
How much do you blame the parents in this case?

(Reuters) - New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is weighing up whether to make a bid for The Financial Times Group, which includes the namesake paper and a half interest in The Economist magazine, the New York Times reported, citing three people close to the mayor.
Pearson Plc, the publisher of FT, is about to lose two of its top executives, raising speculation the paper could be up for sale.
Analysts value The Financial Times Group at about $1.2 billion, well within the reach of Bloomberg LP, which in 2011 had revenue of $7.6 billion, the paper said. (link.reuters.com/daq54t)
One media banker with knowledge of the company expects the paper to be sold around early next year, the New York Times said.
Factions within Bloomberg LP have argued that it would be smarter to buy a digital property, pointing to the website LinkedIn as an example.
Daniel Doctoroff, a confidant of Bloomberg and the chief executive of the company, is said to be particularly skeptical about the value of buying a newspaper, the paper said.
A spokesman for the mayor declined to comment to the New York Times on his conversations about the Financial Times paper.
A spokesman for Mayor Bloomberg and Pearson Group could not immediately be reached for comment by Reuters outside of regular U.S. business hours.

SALISBURY — Just one day after Urban Salisbury, a Main Street Maryland agency charged with directing the revitalization of the downtown area, returned the portion of its funding dedicated by the City Council, Mayor Jim Ireton, Jr. blasted the elected officials for their lack of support for the agency.
On Tuesday, Urban Salisbury's executive committee voted unanimously to reject the $35,000 dedicated to the organization in the fiscal year 2012 budget and returned the first installment check totaling $8,750 to the elected officials. Urban Salisbury, which derives its funding from several sources including an annual grant from the city, returned the funds suggesting the council's perceived paltry donation reflected its lack of commitment to energizing the downtown area.
In a letter to Ireton on Tuesday, Urban Salisbury President Bruce Patterson explained the agency's reasoning for returning the funding.
"Not only is the $35,000 offered by council about one-third of the amount needed to continue our record of success, the council's restrictions on its use eliminates our ability to leverage the funds and violates our mandate as a Maryland Main Street agency," the letter reads. "Again this year, the council chose to ignore our business plan and the problems of downtown. While their lack of vision and commitment is deplorable, it is also predictable."
On Wednesday, Ireton and Urban Salisbury officials met with the state's Department of Housing and Community Development, and although no decision was made on the future of the agency, the mayor said later Salisbury's status as a Main Street Maryland community was in jeopardy.
"We just got out of a meeting with the state and Maryland won't say yet what they're going to do," he said. "But if Urban Salisbury closes its doors, Maryland is going to yank our Main Street designation. I guarantee that. Council leadership has turned its back on downtown."
In a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Ireton said his administration saved the Urban Salisbury program from the scrap heap nearly three years ago and pointed to the many success stories in the downtown area in the years since. He also called out the Council in general and Council President Terry Cohen specifically.
"Two-and-a-half years ago, my administration saved Urban Salisbury at a time when the previous administration wanted it axed," he said. "For every dollar the City of Salisbury entrusted to Urban Salisbury, we saw a return of almost $3. This council's action, to break its promise during a budget year, is indefensible."
Ireton said the council's decision to curtail the amount of funding dedicated to the program and its attempt to micromanage the agency flew in the face of common sense, given the return on the investment.
"It's short-sighted to try to micromanage this," he said. "We're talking about a 280-percent return on the investment. Heck, at that rate I'd invest a million in it if we could. … It's a culture of 'no'. It's a culture of 'I'm not going to vote for anything or I'm not going to be in favor on anything.' Downtown Salisbury just got punched in the stomach today by the Council president."
Ireton said jeopardizing the Urban Salisbury program at a time when the downtown area is showing signs of recovery was shortsighted.
"We've had dozens of success stories come out of Urban Salisbury," he said. "We have a lot of great things going on down there right now."

About Pierre Jeanneret (Designer)
If his famed cousin and longtime colleague Charles-Édouard Jeanneret — better known as Le Corbusier — was the visionary, then Pierre Jeanneret was the member of the architecture and design team who got things done. In recent years, Jeanneret has emerged from Le Corbusier's shadow, as collectors have discovered his simple and striking furniture creations.
Jeanneret studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Geneva and after he graduated in 1921 he became a partner in Le Corbusier's office in Paris. The pair collaborated on numerous residential projects, most notably the Villa Savoye, the iconic modernist house in suburban Paris completed in 1931. Jeanneret also worked with the great Charlotte Perriand on the Grand Modele line of tubular metal furnishings that was a sensation at the annual Salon d'Automne design expo in 1929. A rift developed between Jeanneret and his cousin during World War II, as the former joined the French resistance, while Le Corbusier cooperated with the occupation Vichy authorities. The two did not work together again until 1950, when Le Corbusier persuaded Jeanneret to help execute the master plan for the new city of Chandigarh in Punjab, India. Jeanneret lived and worked there until the final years of his life.
A hallmark of Jeanneret's furniture designs is his great sensitivity to materials. In contrast to the tubular-steel chairs produced by Marcel Breuer and other members of the Bauhaus, the chromed metal pieces designed by Jeanneret and Perriand — including such as the now-classic LC/4 chaise longue and the Grand Confort lounge chair — have a sensuous, relaxed and welcoming look. Conversely, while Jeanneret uses essentially geometric forms for his wooden seating pieces, they exude warmth by nature of the material. One of his first manufactured designs in wood is the Model 92 Scissors chair, licensed by Hans and Florence Knoll when they were touring postwar France. But Jeanneret's finest work in furniture was done in Chandigarh, and these are the pieces that have earned him recent renown. Crafted of teak, the designs range from low-slung lounge chairs and armchairs with cane seats to desks and tables, most with Jeanneret's signature drafting compass-shaped legs. Many such pieces on the market today are refurbished, having been found by dealers languishing in scrapyards in India in the late 1990s. Chandigarh is now taking better care of its modernist heritage, making available Jeanneret works all the rarer.

Archos has added the Titanium line to its Elements range of Android tablets, introducing a selection of aggressively priced models in a range of sizes.
The Archos Titanium tablets will come in 7, 8, 9.7 and 10.1-inches, cutting a broad swathe through just about every screen size out there. They are said to have a "sleek" aluminium design, which at first glance looks a lot like the white iPad.
But the tablets will all have some features in common. They'll all come with a dual-core 1.6GHz processor, 1GB RAM and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Each will have an IPS display, but obviously the sizes and pixel densities differ.
The 7-inch is looking to compete with the likes of the Nexus 7 or the Amazon Kindle Fire HD. It's priced at £99, which is appealing. The 8-inch comes in at £149, giving you a little extra screen size.
Moving up, the Archos 101 Titanium, 10.1-inches, falls in against things like the big Samsung tablet. It's priced at £169, so it's still very affordable.
The star of the show, however, seems to be the Archos 97 Titanium HD. We say it's the star, because Archos is supplying the most information about it and it's detailed fully on its website, whereas the others are barely mentioned.
The 97 Titanium gets that additional HD tag because of the increased screen resolution. It has a 2048 x 1563 display, so although not the highest definition you'll find on a tablet, it's certainly up there.
The price gets up there too: it's £199, which although not hugely expensive, is a step up over the larger 10.1-inch device.
The Archos 97 Titanium has 8GB of internal memory with the option of expanding via microSD. There's a 5-megapixel camera on the rear and 2-megapixel on the front.
With all these tablets offering the same core hardware, we'd expect the experience to be pretty similar across the range, from a performance point of view at least. With these being Archos tablets, you can expect wide support for varied video formats.
No word on exactly when these tablets will be available to buy, but the Archos 97 Titanium is already listed for purchase through the Archos website.

Set your TiVo: Fashion model-actor-law school grad Adewalé Akinnuoye-Agbaje joins the cast of Lost.
Everyone remembers his emotional portrayal of Simon Adebsi on HBO's Oz, probably one of the finer ensemble dramas on recent television. Walé was born in London and was raised there and in Nigeria; moved to Milan in his mid-20s and became a successful model. (What is it with Nigerian male models?) The above photos were lensed by famed fashion photographer Steve Landis for his series Walé and the Boys. The actor credits these images with his initial breakthrough in Hollywood.
More below.
Oz become required Sunday-night viewing for the scenes such as these.
Thanks to our friends Steph & Alek heads up.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 110 diseños de 27 diseñadores freelance.
Jacob Hartman Photography, or Hartman Photography
I am starting to get more serious about Photography (although it is not my main income source) and hope to grow a brand that is recognized and complimented by my work. I will focus mainly on people photography, i.e. weddings, family, children, portraits. I am trying to convey a current yet simple image....something that will stand out in color yet also in black and white. Possibly something with trendy colors...be that brown, olive greens, whites, blacks, off blues.....I am open!!
Targeting people willing to pay for lasting memories. Really want to focus on upper middle class and up (i.e. classy brand etc).
I want something simple yet something that makes a bold statement. I am open to a logo symbol or even simple yet elegant use of the letters in my name or any combination of. Something that incorporated a logo (tree, grasses, leaves, anything contemporary?) along with elegance is in play as well. I am excited to see what you guys can kick up for me!!!
This logo/brand will be superimposed on all of the photos I prep for my clients and should be elegant enough to be on wedding and family photos and versatile enough to be in black or white when need be.
Thank you!!

The Reverend Angie Buchanan, Founder and Director of Earth Traditions, and former Board of Trustees member of the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions, has been appointed as a Spiritual Advisor for Pagan students at the University of Chicago through Rockefeller Chapel. The chapel is the "the spiritual and ceremonial center of the University of Chicago," and this appointment represents a major advance towards recognizing and serving the spiritual needs of Pagan students at college campuses.
Here's a statement sent to me by Rev. Buchanan on her appointment.
"I am pleased to announce my new appointment as the Spiritual Advisor for Pagan students at University of Chicago, through Rockefeller Chapel. I look forward to working with the student body to help them celebrate and deepen their path.
I am excited that the University of Chicago has joined many other colleges and universities that already have established Pagan student groups in place. I am eager to embrace the opportunity to do important work with students, and other religious staff. I am also reflecting on the role this has for the larger Pagan context.
Having a Pagan advisor on staff at a prestigious university such as the University of Chicago supports the mainstream recognition that opens up opportunities and freedoms already available to the practitioners of other religious traditions. It also helps secure the establishment of Paganism as a world religion.
Formalization of the Pagan presence on campus serves to recognize the desire of students, Pagan and non-Pagan, to learn about Paganism through religious inquiry. It also acknowledges the need to provide a space for self identified Pagans to have their spiritual needs met.
My hope is to help the students build a legacy, to empower them to craft their own study groups and rituals, and to transfer leadership through successive graduating classes, thereby building a self sustaining Pagan presence among the student body.
This fits in line with what the intentions of the Founders of Rockefeller Chapel have been about all along; that being to provide a place based on scholarship and religious inquiry in the spirit of religion, that accommodates the "complex and often contradictory issues related to religious and spiritual practice in today's world, providing support to members of the campus community of any religious affiliation or none."
Rockefeller Chapel, along with institutions like Hendricks Chapel at Syracuse University, and the University of Southern Maine, understand that their Pagan student population deserves equal access to spiritual guidance. That, along with schools starting to include Pagan holidays in their calendars, helps, in the words of Rev. Buchanan, "open up opportunities and freedoms already available to the practitioners of other religious traditions."

We like the Panasonic Micro Four Thirds, so it's exciting to see the new Panasonic GF5 leaked on Instagram. Its shape looks similar to the GF3.
According to 43rumors, it will have a 12-megapixel sensor with better Signal to Noise ratio than the GF3. As good as the G3, they claim, while going up to a see-in-the-dark ISO 12,800. If they got their information right, its Auto Focus will be quite fast: 0,09 seconds. [43rumors]

The final quarter of 2009 is just getting under way, and Gartner's analysts have assembled to give 2009, the IT industry's "worst year ever", a happy send off. Well, more like a mumbled good riddance as it welcomes the prospect of a better 2010.
Gartner is hosting its Symposium/ITxpo in Orlando, Florida this week, and says that worldwide IT spending is now on pace to fall by 5.2 per cent this year. That decline is not so bad because consumers and small businesses have continued to spend on computers and software during the economic meltdown.
Enterprise IT spending is expected to be down 6.9 per cent this year, which is making it tough for the big-name IT supplies to pull down the profits they are accustomed to.
And while Gartner's wizards are projecting that there will be a 3.3 per cent increase in global IT spending in 2010, to $3.3 trillion, don't get out the champagne just yet.
"While the IT industry will return to growth in 2010, the market will not recover to 2008 revenue levels before 2012," Gartner senior vice president and global head of research Peter Sondergaard said in a statement.
"2010 is about balancing the focus on cost, risk, and growth. For more than 50 per cent of CIOs the IT budget will be zero per cent or less in growth terms. It will only slowly improve in 2011."
Gartner now expects spending on computer hardware of various kinds - including servers, storage, networking gear, PCs, printers, and so on - will fall by 16.5 per cent in 2009, to $317bn. And the company's best minds' best guesses average out to a flat market for hardware in 2010.
On the server front, Sondergaard says that about one million servers were kept in operation in 2009 that would have otherwise been retired, about three per cent of the installed base of servers worldwide. And unless something radical happens in the economy, and therefore the server racket, the base of machines that have had their replacements deferred could grow to two million by the end of 2010.
"If replacement cycles do not change, almost 10 per cent of the server installed base will be beyond scheduled replacement by 2011," Sondergaard estimates. "That will impact enterprise risk. CFOs need to understand this dynamic, and it's the responsibility of the CIO to convey this in a way the CFO understands."
Those selling spare parts for used hardware equipment could see an uptick in business for the first time in maybe a decade of being bashed by new equipment rollouts. And on the other side, call it what you may - cloud computing, application outsourcing, software as a service - but shifting from capital to operational costs for certain IT functions is also going to get traction if the global economy doesn't improve.
And among the emerging economies, it could just turn out that such cloudy application services take off because it is just plain easier, like cell phone service in China and India. Those are not Gartner's guesses, but mine.
If you can't afford to lay land lines in a vast, poor country, you learn to make do with cell service. Companies are going to learn to make do with cloud computing - both on the supplier and on the customer sides of the bargaining table.
This is not the only kind of shift Gartner expects from the emerging economies. "By 2012, the accelerated IT spending and culturally different approach to IT in these economies will directly influence product features, service structures, and the overall IT industry. Silicon Valley will not be in the driver's seat anymore," Sondergaard said.
Let that sink in for a minute. Gartner is probably being melodramatic here for effect, but a lot of the engineering and design work for IT products is being done in Asia, as manufacturing has been done for even longer. At some point, what used to be a supplier for an IT company can end up being its competitor.
Software spending, as you can see as the quarterly numbers have rolled by here at El Reg, has been a relative bright spot, and is projected to decline by a mere 2.1 per cent this year, to $197bn, and will continue to be relatively bright in 2010 as worldwide software sales rise by 4.8 per cent to $206bn.
IT services, which are all the rage during the economic downturn because companies needing to slash expenses are often forced by circumstances to outsource and offshore, will nonetheless decline by 3.6 per cent to $781bn, but will rebound and grow by 4.5 per cent in 2010, to hit $816bn in sales, if Gartner's crystal ball doesn't have any smudges on it. Or if another economic meltdown doesn't chip or crack the ball.
Global telecom spending is still the largest part of the IT economy, accounting for $1.9 trillion in spending globally in 2009 (down four per cent), but expecting to rebound in synch with the overall market in 2010. To one way of looking at it, the faster than average growth for services and software is washed out by the flatness in hardware spending, which leaves telecom setting the pace for overall IT spending growth. ®

This delicious, lean, reduced-sodium ham could be the centerpiece for a Sunday or holiday meal.
Preparation Time: 20 mins
Cooking Time: 40 mins
Extra Time: 2 hrs
(for refrigeration)
Yield: 50 x 3 oz servings
GLAZE: Combine the brown sugar, vinegar, chutney, mustard, and pureed mango (or mango nectar) in a heavy-bottomed saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the mango slices, ginger, red chili pepper, and cinnamon stick. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mango slices are quite soft and the liquid is thick and bubbling. Let cool to room temperature.
Remove and discard the cinnamon stick and red chili pepper. Press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a stainless-steel or glass (non-reactive) bowl. Discard the pulp. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and up to 3 days.
HAM: Position a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat oven to 325ºF. Have ready a large shallow roasting pan.
Rinse the ham under cool running water to remove the solution and sticky residue (because it will burn), and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Use a sharp knife to carefully trim away the outer skin from the ham, leaving a layer of fat and a collar of skin around the shank bone. You may trim away some of the fat as well, but leave a 1-1/2 inch layer. Score the fat on the top of the ham in a 3/4 to 1.25-inch diamond pattern, cutting just slightly into the meat.
Place the ham in the pan. Brush the top and sides of the ham evenly with the mango glaze. Bake for 10 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 350ºF; the glaze will be bubbly.
Transfer the ham to a cutting board and before slicing it, let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Cut the ham into slices. Transfer to a warm platter and serve immediately with more glaze alongside.
Note: This recipe's ingredients have been adjusted from the original Australian measures to the U.S. measures.

As long as we're posting dialogue bits that we enjoy, I thought that this fine Monday evening I'd share my favorite line from Speed. Which is saying something!
I don't know why, but my sister, friends and I would repeat this line—Cans! It was cans!—over and over and over again, laughing and laughing. Evidently we weren't the other ones, as the line is good enough to have its own YouTube clip.
It's like a meme that evolved before there was the internet! Amazing.
What are some of your favorite out-of-context movie lines to quote? Why does Keanu Reeves have such a disproportionate number of them? Did you know that Joss Whedon wrote part of the screenplay for Speed? I didn't, until pretty recently. Explains some of the better jokes, I'd think.
Feel free to discuss to talk movie quotes or anything else here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. Have good chats, and may the Shark Week be with you.
