I believe ... over the last year so we've done some reporting a part of the one of the things that ... we've learned over time is that the interviews that the graphic chip from AMD ... as I'm ... you may recall last time Sony spent a lot of money developing their own processor for the PlayStation three ... and those are the reason why he came in essence an inflated price ... but the sun the data via the to use a processor from Hindi ... there was some talk about what that might be a kind of ... no physical media home console but ... Sunday is decided to go with an actual ... physical media solar disc player in the inside the machine ... and more philosophically I think Sony is interesting that the ... next position to be ... I'm packing a bit more common social gaming features which is on is the big thing for games on smartphones and tablets ... as was the time Mr. more than entertainment of um you know the last time it was a very much videogame console ... but now in the world where you know we will flick ... just remove these flicks ... um you know didn't video on demand from Amazon this is can be ...

I'm honestly is the Nintendo launches been kind of this this ... dark cloud hanging over the industry ... the we knew this point was disappointing and the question is whether ... there was something fundamentally I'm ... you know not not not appealing about the we you or if it's this real big sea change has taken place ministry where ... people are playing games on dedicated game machines anymore Macy's smartphone games and tablets ... um you know ... as an alternative when we can Deathly say is that there is so much competition for your entertainment I'm you know whether it's ... you know on social networks or whether it's you know video ... streaming anywhere any device ... the the person ... you know you talk to real big videogame and I think ... and to carve out time to play video games that these days ... because you know if you have spare five minutes of play on your smartphone and maybe not in your videogame fits with that ... and the other thing that's interesting about this is that Tony is beating Micra soft patch in terms of coming out with the next-generation console how significant symbolic of that ... what to do I don't think of the huge difference I mean I think ... both machines are ... will be I'll probably at the end of this year or so ... certainly at the holiday season there's been a big marketing push in this and cons of commercials cut in pay you to buy one of the other ... um ... we all attended the I think it doesn't really matter who announces ... there was to personally make a difference when you cook it to market first ... um we don't know who's you know right now we're not sure who's going to be first to market ... and I don't know how much this new console going to cost approximately ten of the more expensive than the PS three ... right now we don't know ... thirdly Sony learned a painful lesson that ...

CITY OF NEWBURGH — The breach of an 1880s trunk line is resolved, but not before three million gallons of sewage flowed into the Quassaick Creek.
The second trunk line break in as many months has required at least $800,000 in emergency repairs, said city manager Richard Herbek. A permanent fix could cost millions more.
The breach Thursday caused sewage to spill into the Quassaick near the Mill Street Bridge, and at the city's combined sewer overflow at the River Road crossing of the creek.
The city declared a state of emergency Friday afternoon and brought in outside contractors to construct a bypass system that allows sewage to flow to the nearby treatment plant. The temporary fix was complete by Friday evening.
Some of the sewage has flowed into Hudson River, though Herbek and state officials were unsure of how much. Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office has instructed anybody doing recreational activities along the Hudson south of Poughkeepsie to carefully wash their hands before eating.
Herbek recommended not swimming of kayaking in the Hudson near the Quassaic.
The breach poses no threat to the health or safety of Newburgh residents, Herbek said.
No contamination has been found in drinking water samples from Highland, Poughkeepsie and Hyde Park – the closest water districts that withdraw from the Hudson River – according to a health department spokesman.
Several sections of the city's 130-year-old trunk line are in precarious shape, Herbek said, and a reconstructed trunk line might be required, which would likely cost millions of dollars.
A break further upstream along the same trunk line roughly a month ago cost the city $800,000, and was covered through fund balance.
A state of emergency declaration by New York's department of health made Newburgh eligible to obtain repair money from a Environmental Facilities Corporation low-interest loan, which the city would repay by issuing bonds.
City leaders will meet Tuesday, Herbek said, and decide how to pay for these repairs.
UPDATE: N'burgh spill dumps 3 million gallons of sewage into creek, could cost city millions

Shortly before last week's election, a group of Harding High School parents met with Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board chair Eric Davis about concerns they had with their school. The group was small - just a few parents, Davis says - but they came carrying worries from the larger Harding community.
Those concerns touched on safety issues this school year, the first since Harding's magnet program was eliminated while hundreds of students were added from now-closed Waddell High. But the parents' primary worry was academic - many of those new students, who come from low-income minority homes, were below grade level, demanding attention from teachers that inevitably held back the progress of Harding's traditionally higher-achieving students.
The concerns mirrored those that many Harding parents have voiced since CMS contemplated the change to Harding a year ago. Those parents, almost all of them black, predicted then that academics would suffer, and they are rightfully worried now.
And if they were white, they would be called racist for saying so.
For more than 40 years, CMS has struggled with the gap between its best and worst performing students, and for all that time the tug between the two has been splayed against the backdrop of race. It's suburban whites not wanting their kids in classrooms with urban blacks, people say. It's west Charlotte vs. south Charlotte.
But the worries that you hear at Harding? They're the same that many parents expressed when Charlotte decided to bus schoolchildren across town to achieve integration in the 1960s and beyond, and they're the same we've heard each time school officials have considered redrawing districts.
Did some white parents simply not want their child in a school with blacks? Certainly, especially 40 years ago. But for most, and more recently, it's been a simple calculation: their children might suffer from being in schools where students didn't perform as well. When given a choice of a classroom that was surging ahead or one that was catching up, which do you think most parents preferred?
Racist, they've been called.
Can we stop that now?
Harding's parents might argue that their case is different. CMS, they say, has gutted an historically strong program that was a model of how low-income and minority students could thrive. But the argument rings familiar, no matter the color of the anger: We had a good thing going. Then you forced new kids on us.
Know this: The goal here isn't to play gotcha with Harding's parents. They are justifiably mournful about a very real loss, and they rightfully want their children in a place that offers the best chance to excel.
In that, they share common ground with parents across our county - an understanding that children need help to overcome the socioeconomic disadvantages forced upon them, but an awareness that providing that help often comes with consequences to others.
It's not racist - at Harding or anywhere - to worry about those consequences. Is it selfish? Of course. But every good parent is - at least a little.
Last week, voters elected two new members to the CMS school board, including Ericka Ellis-Stewart, who also was one of the parents in that meeting with board chair Davis. Ellis-Stewart, whose son transferred from Harding to the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics, did not return a call last week.
The new board will face the same challenges as the last - providing the best education to all its students, with resources that aren't growing as fast as the student population, and with that achievement gap still glaring back at them.
The differences are real, and the challenges are formidable. Perhaps we can ask together what we're going to do about it.
And maybe this time, at least, we can do so without the labels.

LONDON, Ontario - After dunking her ball in the water, Azahara Munoz later rebounded to shoot a 9-under 63 Saturday to vault into contention at the Canadian Pacific Women's Open.
She's tied with Na Yeon Choi in second place, four strokes behind So Yeon Ryu, who leads at 20 under going into the final round.
''The key of my round was on (hole No.) 4, I was going for it in two with a 4-iron and I hit in the water,'' Munoz said. ''But I kept it calm, I knew I could still make up and down for par, so I did, and after that everything just went my way.''
Except, perhaps, for Ryu, who didn't drift back to the pack by shooting a 67. She's looking to become the sixth wire-to-wire winner in this tournament's history and the first since Michelle Wie in 2010.
Munoz had six birdies on the back nine as part of a bogey-free round, tying the course record at London Hunt and Country Club that Ryu set Thursday. The 26-year-old Spainard felt as if she was doing ''everything'' right.
''I was driving the ball really well, and I was hitting really good iron shots into the greens,'' Munoz said. ''I had so many chances. And then I made lots of putts, too - I made a couple really long ones and quite a few shorter ones.''
As dazzling as Munoz's round was, she still has some work to do to catch up to Ryu, who has been consistent through three rounds with 21 birdies and just one bogey.
Ryu is looking for her first victory since 2012.
''I haven't won any tournaments the last two years,'' the 24-year-old said. ''If I'm going to win this tournament, I'm going to break that. I really want to break it, I really want to stop it.''
Ryu is on pace to snap the tournament record of 18 under set by Suzann Petterson in 2009 and is within range of the LPGA Tour record of 26 under, which belongs to Annika Sorenstam.
''I think my lowest record is 29 under when I was 16 at the Asian Games,'' Ryu said. ''If I have the chance I want to break my career record, and also if I can I want to break another LPGA record.''
Determined to focus on her own game, the South Korean said she didn't look at the leaderboard Saturday. But Ryu already set a goal of making seven birdies in the final round.
Ryu, Munoz and Choi, who shot a 6-under 66, tee off as the final group at 11:45 a.m. Sunday.
Behind them on the leaderboard are LPGA Championship winner Inbee Park at 14 under, Swede Anna Nordqvist at 13 under and Americans Brittany Lincicome and Danielle Kang at 12 under.
Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ontario, shot a 1-under 71 to get to 4 under as the lowest Canadian left.
Choi set the tone for the low-scoring weekend with an 8-under 64 Thursday morning. After seeing that, Park wondered if it would take 20 under to win the tournament.
Given the way Ryu has been driving, chipping and putting, that turned out to be a conservative estimate.
''It's going to be over 20, that's for sure,'' Park said. ''I don't know how So Yeon is going to play tomorrow, but if she goes really low tomorrow, 25-under par's definitely possible.''
Choi was plenty confident about her chances given the course conditions.
''Someone can shoot 9 under, 8 under,'' she said. ''Even I could shoot like 8, 9 under tomorrow.''
Munoz showed that was possible Saturday, even with more difficult pin placements for the 87 players who made the cut.
Her only real glance at the leaderboard was Thursday when she saw Choi's 64 before she even teed off, but that didn't make her task feel any more daunting.
''It's actually good because you have that number in mind, you know it's possible,'' Munoz said. ''So at least you go out there thinking you can make lots of birdies.''
Ryu hasn't been saving her best for the second-to-last hole, and Park knows that her friend is so locked in that rivals will have to shoot very low to beat her.
Ryu hasn't won since the 2012 Jamie Farr Toledo Classic, but won two of the three previous times she held the 54-hole lead.
''I definitely think she's due,'' Park said. ''I think she was due a long time ago, but she probably threw her opportunities away. If I can't do it this time, hopefully she does it. I'm really rooting for her.''

If you do -- why do you and when did you start?
And for those that don't, what are your opinions on smoking?
Do you care if your lover smokes?
All the guys in my family (uncles + cousins) smoke but I don't think I will.
I don't smoke. Why, maybe pollution, lol.
Edited : I also agree with SilverxButterfly; Sometimes I find the smell of smoke attractive, but not all the time.
...the world ends with you.
I've had secondhand all my life. I began actually smoking about 1.5-2 years ago. Still, I don't really smoke very much. I only smoke real cigarettes and weed when offered or when I'm with friends. I've still yet to buy a pack only for myself. I usually smoke my electronic cigarettes. I smoke those probably about 3 times a week, down from smoking 5 times a week. I've also had a few cigars. I LOVE to hookah. I hookah for up to 2 hours at a time. I frequently borrow my friend's hookah because she lives with me and doesn't use it much. I do it for stress relief and because it feels good to smoke, especially if you also drink and do other stuff.
I don't understand the deal about nicotine being addictive. If I want to, I can easily go a month without smoking anything.
I don't care if a girl smokes. At least, not anymore. I've kissed some smokers and I'm used to it by now. I don't like the smell of cigarette and cigar smoke (and it also burns my eyes if I'm smoking and the wind blows toward me). I am okay with hookah and weed smoke, though. Electronic cig vapor is also fine.
Conjuring up the past is not remembering; it is replacing.
I smoke every now and then usually when my anxiety gets the better of me, but I'm in no way addicted since I can go weeks and months without it.
My reasons are, well, already mentioned. I find the smell somewhat nice, but sometimes it smells like shit gone wrong… I think it depends on the brand.
My personal feelings towards smoking are: if you want to smoke, then smoke, but take responsibility for it; Nature is sacred so don't burn it down, don't smoke indoors or in bed, be respectful to people with asthma and remember that we're all going to die sooner or later of one thing or the other.
Our planet is the mental institution of the universe.
Word of advice? im 22 years old and start smoking back when i was in year 7-8ish which is when i was about 13-14 and i would do ANYTHING just to quit but it's so god damn hard. People dont usually believe quitting smoking is hard but it's not an addiction it's a habit, you learn to smoke after meals, sex, while driving, on breaks, when you're tired, nervous all these things and just stopping cold turkey is just insanely hard. Even cutting down is hard since your body get's used to it and you don't realize you're smoking until its too late.
So from an older point of view and from experience DO NOT EVER SMOKE cause if you ask any smoker over the age of 20 he will tell you one thing and that is he WISH HE NEVER STARTED SMOKING.
My opinion is that it's just another form of escapism or stress reliever like religion.

I actually plan to start smoking when I am of age.
My reasons is that I suffer through anxiety, and smoking helps the nerves relax. Frankly I find the smell attractive.
Although any smoker should understand that you should probably avoid smoking nearby children or elderly people. It is proven that the smoke can affect their health.
Smoking doesn't cure anxiety, actually, it increases it... And smoking affects everyone's health.
I smoke, don't know why i smoke, prolly cus I'm addicted. Started when I would go out drinkin with my buddies and bum some cigarettes off them.

Cigarettes are a stimulant, the same as coffee. The initial calming feeling you get when you have a smoke isn't due to the effects of the ciggie, it's due to your brain getting it's fix. On the flip side, when you are smoking your breathing is more controlled which helps with anxiety.
There is no cure for anxiety and there never will be (it's a required function for us to continue to exist) but it is manageable though things like CBT so go see your doctor and get stuck into courses that'll teach you methods to cope with the anxiety that doesn't involve shoving a ton of chemicals into your lungs.
I do smoke, have done for years even after health problems with my lungs (including operations on my lungs) but ex-smokers are the worst, they are all "ohh I hate smoke now, can't stand it, you should give up like me" etc. so I smoke just to annoy them.
I tried smoking, I couldn't get over the taste and smell (ruined most food and drink I had) also the cost was pretty damn high so I stopped after a couple weeks.
In relation to the 'look' of smoking, there are countless numbers of tricks that can be pulled off to make smoking look good, but in reality, it never looks as good as it does in media, much like a lot of stuff you see.
i don't but i always intake second hand smokes.
we always long for the forbidden things, and desire what is denied us.
Nope. Although I'm pretty curious how it feels like.
I tried the electronic cigarettes and I love the strawberry flavor.
I smoke because I am smokin` hawt.

I'd rather be a bitchy ex smoker than the dumbass smoking my cigarettes through a hole in my throat.
I smoked for 15 years, Marlboro Reds, and God did I love them, but I am inherently a cheap, cheap bastard, so eventually the time came and we had to part ways.
Quit smoking on 4/20 last year (wanted to remember the date lol)
Yeah, cigarettes were awesome, and I loved them, and I could pack a pack of cigarettes to put men to shame, and I always looked cool as hell, but all good things must come to an end, as they say.
But I'm the one who chose to start smoking and I'm the one who chose to quit, but how you gonna let some little paper dick hanging out your mouth control your life??
I only smoke socially, not to look cool or anything. But i generally enjoy doing it with my friends, but i dont think i'd ever go into the shop and buy the cigarettes on my own or anything lol

Mike Lynch, the founder of Autonomy who is engaged in a war of words with Hewlett-Packard hief Executive Meg Whitman over allegations of fraud, is firmly at the heart of the British establishment and was once dubbed the "British Bill Gates" by the media.
He sits on the board of lofty state broadcaster the BBC, advises Prime Minister David Cameron on science and technology and there was even talk of a knighthood for him in 2013's New Year Honours List.
The Honours List is traditionally used by the government to reward titans of business, entertainment, philanthropy and the civil service. Lynch has already been awarded an Order of the British Empire for services to enterprise. He also sits on the boards of private equity giant Apax and the British Library, and recently set up his own venture capital firm Invoke.
Born in Ireland, Lynch built up Autonomy from Cambridge, where he studied natural sciences at Christ's College, traditionally the most academically-focused of the Cambridge colleges. He had previously set up Lynett Systems nd Cambridge Neurodynamics fter undertaking both a PhD and post-doctoral studies related to software.
But it was Autonomy which propelled the 47-year old into the FTSE 100 index and earned him a 500 million pound ($796 million) payout when it sold to HP last year. U.K. politicians and the business community frequently bemoan the lack of home-grown success stories in sectors like technology and science over the past decade, and complain about bright science graduates going into financial services or moving across the Atlantic. Autonomy was one standout success to focus on.
Yet there were naysayers even at the height of its success selling its key technology, which uses a statistical theory called Bayes' theorem to make sense of huge amounts of unstructured data.
(Read More: Red Flags Raised on Autonomy)
Analysts in London raised questions over its cash conversion, its organic growth rate and whether it was categorizing hardware sales as software sales. However, as Lynch pointed out in light of HP's allegations, some of the biggest names in auditing were involved in checking its numbers. Deloitte was Autonomy's auditor and KPMG examined the company's books for HP before the acquisition. Both didn't find any of the alleged "improprieties" Whitman has accused the company of. There were also plenty of analysts with "Buy" ratings on Autonomy.

Red flags were also raised when Lynch left the company in May, despite statements at the time of the acquisition that he would stay on for at least two years.
After the HP news broke on Tuesday, Lynch told CNBC he felt "pretty ambushed" by the allegations and said "I think there's been significant mismanagement of the company."

This Shiba Inu puppy is A of all adorable and B of all rambunctious. I'd say dangerously rambunctious, but you'll have to see for yourself. Be warned, however: watching this puppy prance around and bark squeakily may instill in you an unrelenting desire to go out and adopt as many puppies as you can fit into the large UPS box that had contained a Halloween care package from your relatives but has now been recommissioned as an irresponsibly adopted puppy transport. Just make sure to reinforce the bottom with extra pieces of electrical tape — we wouldn't want any puppies falling out and getting left behind for a dizzying adventure to find a home in the big, scary-noises city.

Does an M-4, AR15 9mm have a place in defense?
I am interested in finding out what place would a M4, AR15, in 9mm, have as a defensive weapon or for training.? I know that Rock River makes this rifle and I've shot one before and it was extremely reliable.
Thanks for your input/insight.

Compact, controllable/high-rate-of fire, and high capacity magazine without the penetration of a traditional rifle caliber... as an SBR, I think it would work out well enough...
And it's Killer Angel... as in the book

The 9mm is a very controllable caliber. Other calibers are not so controllable.
Try firing bursts from a 5.62 vs. a 9mm. You will notice that the 5.62 will have a tendancy to climb and you have to re-zero after each burst. The 9mm wont climb so much. A small burst of 9mm on a target is more effective then a 5.62. The 9mm coming from a longer barrel will have a little more speed and thus be more effective.
The 9mm SMG is one of the best weapons out there. I found that I could put 4-5 round bursts on-target reliably from a 9mm MP5. You cant do that with any other caliber. I would put my money on 4-5 9mm bullets stopping a man on the first try then anything else. How could that many bullets not stop or cause severe bleeding on the first burst into the chest especially when its traveling at a higher rate out of the carbine then the pistol.
In reference to body armor, a 4-5 round burst would probably penetrate it. 1 or 2 rounds may not, but 4-5 in the same area probably would...

Better than a 9mm pistol, though not as good as a .223/5.56. For CQB in an HD situation, seems like a reasonable compromise, additional effective range/accuracy can be a big plus.

I think that in a full auto, SBR platform then sure, its got a place...just as much as the mp5 does. As far as semi auto I would prefer a glock 17 over an m4 9mm. The reason being is that the 9mm m4 would be suited for CQB type situations. Theres no real fire power advantage with the m4 (as compared with a g17 using a g18 magazine.) For what little benefit the buttstock will be to you, the added barrel length will hurt you more as far as retention goes. The glock would be far lighter, faster and easier to manuever in real tight environments. Sure, the m4s will probably beat the g17 in the accuracy department, but when you're working in distances that are common to one's house for instance, distances generally are within 10 yards or closer.
A semi auto m4 in 5.56 is a different story however.

A 9 millimeter carbine is the kind of firearm that you would use at close range with a high velocity of fire to defend yourself. That would be the defensive scenario probably best suited for a 9 mm shooter which is why the British made the Sten and Sterling submachineguns. Get close and strafe the bad guys.
It would make a very good training firearm to teach somebody to learn basic shooting skills and handling techniques of firearms. It wouldn't be one that kicked the trainee all around either and it would be a good psychological device to produce positive feedback for the new shooter.
It would be cost effective or cheaper to use than a lot of other firearms. It wouldn't be the cheapest but it would be far from the most expensive with which to train.
Downsides would be the fact that there are more effective firearms that one could use for personal defense. Less range than other firearms.
Over all, a 9 millimeter carbine wouldn't be a great device but it wouldn't be a super bad one either. It would probably be at the bottom end of firearms that I would prefer to use.

9mm submachine guns have a place. I'd opt for an 5.56 SBR, given the choice.

In a brief meeting Thursday morning, the Leavenworth County Commission discussed the possible repeal of the state mortgage registration fee.
In a brief meeting Thursday morning, the Leavenworth County Commission discussed the possible repeal of the state mortgage registration fee.
During the public comment period, local resident, Louie Klemp, raised questions about city and county parking allotments and the prioritization of "money maker" functions.
After the public comment period, the two county commissioners in attendance — Bob Holland and Clyde Graeber — listened to County Administrator Pat Hurley discuss the recent Kansas City Regional Realtors Association meeting he attended.
The primary issue at the meeting was the proposed repeal of the mortgage registration fee – .26 percent of the total mortgage amount — during the next legislative session. Miami, Wyandotte, Johnson, and Leavenworth counties all had representatives at the meeting, and Franklin County submitted a statement.
According to representatives at the meeting, the Kansas Bankers Association is expected to launch a $250,000 campaign in support of the repeal, arguing that the mortgage registration fee disadvantages their businesses that compete with farm credit loan organizations that don't require the fee.
Repealing the fee would cost the county approximately a million dollars in lost revenue, a significant cut to county funds that Commissioner Graeber noted could endanger existing county services or require a raise of the mill levy.
The other county representatives at the Association meeting concurred that their counties would also suffer financially if the fee was repealed.
Commissioner Graeber suggested that the county commissioners and county administrator needed to discuss the issue with local representatives to ensure the county concerns were heard.
Hurley suggested scheduling a meeting.
The only other new business the commission acted on was an approval of the appointment of a new deputy district coroner for the First Judicial District.

Americans' devotion to charity could keep nonprofits from fiscal cliff plunge
Fiscal cliff or no fiscal cliff, rich or poor, wealth advisers and a nonprofit head say Americans will find a way to give to charities in 2013.
Nonprofits across the country continue to face tremendous demand for services in a weak economy and talk of raising taxes and cutting government spending appears to threaten that social safety net. But experts in philanthropy see reason to believe residents in Connecticut and across the country will not abandon those in need.
"You don't suddenly stop caring about what you care about ... You can't turn the spigot off from the heart," said Claire Costello, national philanthropic practice executive at U.S. Trust Wealth Management.
U.S. Trust, a division of Bank of America, released its 2012 study of high net worth philanthropy last week and found that 95 percent of wealthy households give to at least one charity. The general population also continues to give, with 65 percent of Americans donating to causes.
Costello, whose firm helps wealthy families plan their giving strategies, said one of the most heartening bits of news from this year's survey is that 76 percent of high net worth households plan to maintain or increase their gifts to charities in the coming years and only 9 percent said they will decrease it.
She said it's important to understand the gifting trends among the wealthy because they account for half of all U.S. donations from individuals and families.
While Costello said the so called fiscal cliff of tax increases and spending reductions the government is headed for on Jan. 1 is a concern, she also said wealthy households remain committed to charitable giving.
Even through the recession, wealthy Americans annually donated 9 percent of their income to charity between 2009 and 2011, despite a decline in income, she said.
Congress and President Barack Obama are negotiating how to deal with nearly $1 trillion in government spending cuts set to begin automatically over the next decade. A bevy of tax cuts are also set to expire at the same time and talks in Washington have centered on implementing some cuts and eliminating some tax credits.
Costello said the survey found that 50 percent of the wealthy said the complete loss of income tax credit for charitable donations would not alter their giving.
Mike Duggan, executive director of Stamford-based DOMUS Kids, a charity aimed at helping homeless and disadvantaged children and their families, said the problems in Washington do not create any more pressure on him than normal.
"I work with struggling families who need every bit of help," Duggan said.
The people of Connecticut have responded year-after-year, whether they're rich or poor, he said.
"We've always seen that. Everybody wants to help," he said, whether it's a large donation or small one of $5; "A gift is a gift."
And this year, the giving has appeared to pick up. Maybe because some believe their charitable deduction is going away, but more likely because of the personal confrontation with disaster after Superstorm Sandy hit.
Marion Schmeelk, U.S. Trust managing director and Fairfield County market executive, said Sandy has prompted more donations. There are plenty of families getting into the community and doing the work at "the point of the hammer," helping communities rebuild after the storm, she said.
She said that's often the gateway for wealthy individuals to get involved. They volunteer to help a struggling homeowner or work in soup kitchens. Like anyone else, a passion to help others can lead them to donate more money and time.
She said she thinks families with traditions of donating to the arts or similar charities will likely continue to do so.
While 14 percent of respondents to the U.S. Trust survey said they were not sure what direction their giving would take, Schmeelk said that's likely because many use the time around Thanksgiving to discuss just that topic.
The survey results are being shared with nonprofits to help them raise funds. It found donors are turned off by a barrage of requests for donations and a lack of efficiency, as well as a correlation of giving to volunteering. The more a person volunteers, the more he or she tends to give.
Duggan, however, said one of the principal reasons he's found people don't give, no matter what their station in life, is that "no one has asked" them.

Joe Vs The Cricket Lyrics
100 faces stare at me. Everybody wants and everybody needs. The neon lights, our somber glare. I feel myself become aware. Remember whatever you do, hits me hard, but stays with you. No regrets, just think it through. It seems that everything is changing. I know that's the way it has to be. I know people are rearranging. What used to be life to you and me. Now please don't you go paraphrasing. Just tell me what you mean. Running away won't solve a thing. What if it was me who came to you? Put yourself for a second in my shoes. Through the haze, I know that you're not right. So I'm begging you to put up a fight

dabney ordered water to be promptly sent aboard the vessel and invited capt ried to dine with him a pleasant afternoon was passed at the consul's house and in driving about the island about sun set having returned to the armstrong with his shore friends ried noticed from his deck the rapid approach of six english war ships forming the squadron of commodore lloyd three vessels the plantageuet the

full moon and having dismissed his guests and set them oii shore he quickly ordered the armstrong's deck to be cleared for ac tion and moved the vessel nearer to the island until it was within shadow of the governor's castle the moon had now risen and by its light capt ried discovered about 8 o'clock that four boats each containing forty men were being pulled towards the doomed privateer he repeatedly hailed them but got no replv they were soon alongside but he was ready for them as the liritish seamen attempted to board the armstrong the valiant reid passed the word to hisgnnners to open fire on the four boats they were beaten off with fearful slaughter and two of them retired so severely broken that it was with the utmost difficulty they could be kept afloat it being now apparent that the english squad ron intended to renew the onslaught and crush their nettling adversary the governor of faval dispatched a mess age to commodore lloyd forbidding any further hostile demonstrations the haughty briton replied that if any attempt was made by the portu guese to shield the geu armstrong he wo ild at once fire up i castle and town three hours passed but they were not wasted by rind lie knew too well the value of time and preparation and took all the chances at midnight fourteen boats and 500 desperate britishers renewed the unequal attack the dauntless son of connecticut listen ed to the english shout no quarters and vowed that none should be given by liis gunners or crew again there was an outburst of powder hare and an avalanche of hot shot the english recoiled but not in confusion they stubbornly kept up the attack but for more than half an hour supplied a gory harvest to capt ried and his spartan nerved sailors blood was flowing everywhere around the arm strong and rivulets of it from the pri vateer's slippery decks tinged the wa ters of fayal bay thr f the eng lish boats had been sunk and 28'j of their men killed or wounded capt ried

Album Rating: 4.5MIKE IS A SLAYER FAN??? :confused:
Good review man, SITA is one hell of an album, and if it wasn't for 'Temptation' being very bland I'd give this a 5.
One of the more important lyrical themes that I thought you missed however was on 'Dead Skin Mask'. It's about Ed Gein, and it's just downright disturbing. Going back and adding that would be a huge plus to an already good review.
I've still got this halfway done; I'm just too lazy to finish it, and mine is already 3 pages long I think...
And if anti-religion lyrical themes bother you, stay the hell away from 'Christ Illusion', but picking up 'South of Heaven' would be fine.This Message Edited On 10.04.06
Album Rating: 4.5Good review man. I'd say Born of Fire and not Temptation is the weakest song on here (to SoH)
Album Rating: 3.0Thanks, thanks.
Grant: I'll try to fit that thing about Dead Skin Mask into the review somewhere. That song is pretty creepy, especially at the end with the kid, haha.
Also, I'll check out South of Heaven. :thumb:
Not a bad album, but definitely the worst of their first five.
Album Rating: 3.0Okay, so I added that part about Ed Gein into the lyrics paragraph.
Album Rating: 4.5Great review :thumb: Dead Skin Mask is an awesome track, and possibly my new favourite Slayer song.

This is my favorite Slayer album

text: I pump at work and make tons of milk in a morning pump but hardly any in the afternoon. The morning pump is usually enough for the next day. This morning I pumped 14 ounces! As I was putting away the pump parts, I saw that the yellow part of the pump thing (it's a Medela- the part that the membrane goes on so it definitely touches milk) had mold in it. Like thick nasty black mold. Obviously I'm going to have to throw this milk away (which makes me cry) but then I think that my baby has been drinking milk with mold in it for who knows how long (makes me cry even more). I'm so upset. What do I do?

If your idea of a perfect winter night involves relaxing by a warm fire or a fireplace is the primary way to stay warm or a supplement to the main heating system, consider these tips to stay safe.
If your wood-burning fireplace has glass doors, leave them open when burning a fire. This helps ensure that the fire receives enough air and prevents creosote - a gummy substance created during the burning process - from building up in the chimney.
When the glass doors are open, make sure the metal mesh screen is closed.
This will help contain the embers.
