It may be that he is not.
Freeney made more than $14 million in base salary last season and that begins a list of reasons not to sign him. The Seahawks don't seem to be in the mood to pay even half of his 2012 salary. But there's hope. According to The Professor, John Clayton, the word is that Freeney may be willing to sign a contract more in the $1 million-$3 million range in order to play on a team with the playoffs in its future. As you may have guessed, a contract in that range for a superstar like Freeney may need to be heavily loaded with incentives. But if you're the Seahawks, you'd gladly pay a player like Freeney performance bonuses – especially when those bonuses are quarterback sacks.

After 10 years of running races at DuPont State Forest and coming in second several times, David Workman earned the victory Saturday.
DUPONT STATE FOREST — Hendersonville's David Workman is a DuPont bridesmaid no more.
After 10 years of running races at DuPont State Forest and coming in second several times, including the last two years in a row, he broke the streak Saturday by winning the fourth annual Morris Broadband Half Marathon in one of his best times ever: 1 hour, 21 minutes, 50 seconds.
"To finally win a race here feels great. Greg (Walker) and all the volunteers here always put on a great event, and I love running the course," Workman said.
While Workman is one of the most consistent runners for Walker, he's also something else: a great cook.
"He baked the cookies and scones for us that we had today at the finish line," Walker said. "That's another reason we always love having Dave come."
Workman is co-owner of Flat Rock Village Bakery, and following his win, he was already getting prepared to head back to work.
"I'm going to run a couple of miles to cool down, then I'm off to work. Saturdays are always one of our busiest days," he said.
The first woman to cross the line was Charlotte's Wendy Norvell, 34, who had a time of 1 hour, 41 minutes.
"This was my first actual race here, but we have been to DuPont several times to camp before," she said. "It's a challenge, and the views are incredible. I was able to sneak a peak here and there."
Norvell has qualified for next year's Boston Marathon, and she says she can't wait to compete there, despite the bombings at this year's event.
"I'm really looking forward to it. I really can't wait to run on the streets where there were so many heroes that day," she said.
Runners at Saturday's race were given decals to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon, and all runners and volunteers were encouraged to wear Boston colors blue and yellow.
"In light of them capturing the final bomber last night, it was like closure for the runners. They came here today and paid tribute to the victims in Boston, and even though it was solemn at first, around the two-mile mark, it seemed like the mood had changed here," Walker said.
Josh Marcus of Mill Spring finished in the runner-up spot to Workman. Marcus just returned from the military and was competing in his first race at DuPont.
"This is my third half marathon ever, but it is my first time here. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's great being back home, and I plan on coming back again. If there's a race here, I want to be a part of it," he said.

DENVER A storm that dumped nearly a foot of snow in the Denver area and more over parts of eastern Colorado has moved east, but lingering cold temperatures could keep the snow from melting for at least a couple of days.
NWS Meteorologist David Barjenbruch says that the main punch of the storm moved east into the central plains.
Parts of Colorado and northwest Kansas spent Sunday digging out from 10 to 15 inches of snow that were dumped Saturday. Winds gusting at speeds of up to 45 mph created snow drifts of 2 to 3 feet in the three states, said Ryan Husted, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Goodland, Kan.
The National Weather Service says highs in the Denver area were expected to reach only the mid-20s Sunday, and another storm system moving in later in the day could bring another couple of inches of snow.
Highs in the 30s and 40s are expected today and Tuesday before making way for highs in the 50s Wednesday.
Saturdays storm forced officials to close several highways, including Interstate 25 south of Fort Collins because of multiple accidents and Interstate 70 east of Denver to Kansas because of blizzard conditions. I-70 and I-25 were reopened by Sunday.
Saturdays snowfall also forced the cancellation of 223 flights at Denver International Airport.

When I joined the Republican Party in 1976, its platform stood for something: small government, lower taxes, capitalism, laws to citizenship, right to bear arms, to name a few.
This month, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to take more money from hardworking Americans and, yes, redistribute it.
I have two family members who will be sorely affected. They worked long, hard hours; missed family events; traveled on a regular basis, saying goodnight to their children over the phone, to get where they are.
Did the U.S. Government play a role in their success? No. It just keeps putting obstacles in the way — higher taxes on businesses, Obamacare, and more and more regulations.
The sellout of the Republican Party to raise taxes is the last straw.
Butler County is more conservative than many, and yet our congressman, Mike Kelly, voted with the liberal idea that taking more money out of the private sector (the job creators and spenders) will somehow stimulate the economy. How many business people in our area believe this?
Kelly's continued votes on spending and raising the debt ceiling go against how he spoke as a candidate.
We have Republican county commissioners calling for tax hikes. My question is, where do we go for representation?
We deserve representation by individuals who will vote to protect our freedom-loving values and hard work. Leave punishment for success and expansion of government dependency to the liberals in cities like Detroit, where those ideals nearly have destroyed economies.
It is a shame candidates with an "R" beside their name win, then go to Washington, D.C., and vote against the very platform and ideals of those who elected them.
I guess some have forgotten what happened when Phil English went to the middle — Kathy Dahlkemper was the result.

I just have a little question.

I not even sure what the term "ghost hunter" means ...I don't consider any of the shows such as Ghosthunters and TAPS anything but amusing. it's like watching a senior trying to operate a DVD player. (jmo)

For one, most people are afraid of what they don't know, and let's face it...anything paranormal is a BIG question mark to many people.
I am just curious to know why people call on Ghost hunters. From what Ive read and seen, all that they do is tell people that their house is haunted or not(when it's obvious that the people who called on them already know their house is haunted) and offer advice that they have already heard from other people whom aren't even experts. I am just trying to understand the ghost hunting hype. I get that it can be fun and informative to see what is causing the disturbances in their homes, but can't they just go out and buy an audio tape recorder and video camera of their own and do it themselves?
Another thing I think is quite common is for people to want proof...they don't want others to think they're crazy and they may even be having doubts about their own sanity. I'm a huge skeptic myself so I'm not sure I would even believe it if things started happening around me that other people thought was obviously paranormal. But if you have someone come in and run a full-scale investigation and find all kinds of evidence, at least you're able to say "my house MIGHT be haunted, because these things happened without any logical explanation". (And btw, most people don't own an audio tape recorder and many don't own a video camera.)
In any case, the number one job of a paranormal investigator is to provide information to the client. They go in to assess the situation and maybe even to give a few ideas about how to deal with it (i.e. ignoring it, house blessing, vocalizing your desire for it to leave, etc.).
"Ghost hunting" is obviously not an exact science, and I'm sure that there isn't one group out there that can say they have all the information, but it's a start. It's a way to begin to deal with a problem that many people face from day to day. And I'm sure that there are clients out there who are thankful for the fact that someone has at least TRIED to help them...whether or not they were successful. If the group has done nothing else for the client, at the very least it has given them an understanding ear.
Sorry this ran so long, but I got on a roll! lol These are just my opinions on the subject and I'm sure there are several different ones out there.

Our clients are usually frightened. They are confused and wonder if they're losing their minds and scared for their kids or themselves.
What we do is validate whether there is someone there or not. We then attempt to communicate with whoever's there and, if the homeowner wants it, we try to convince the person to move on and out (if it is, indeed, a haunting rather than someone's grandma popping in to say she loves them). We also will return until everyone's happy with the situation at hand.
Validation calms a lot of people down a LOT... that, in fact, the man they're seeing in the middle of the night is the man that we're seeing and we've got the guy's voice on tape (it really puts a much more human perspective on it if we can get an EVP). It's a very big thing to worry that you're crazy and have validation that you're not. But, since we do cleansings, we do also offer a service that people get value out of (most of the time... nothing in life is guaranteed).
And yeah... ghost hunters are people who trespass in cemeteries and abandoned buildings without a lot of regard for private property or the ghosts. I'm a paranormal investigator and researcher.
Posted 06 February 2008 - 01:50 PM
Agreed! (Though I often use the terms interchangably, when I do it's because the person I'm talking to knows what I mean and I just like using the work "hunter" sometimes ...it sounds so cool...lol.)
I am in agreement with all the above villagers, with one difference....I do believe there is a big difference between a "Ghost Hunter" and a "Paranormal Investigator." My belief is that a ghost hunter is just looking for ghosts for fun. An Investigator (which is what Dave and I go by) take a little different approach such as using validation techniques...history, electronic equipment, and personal encounters. A "ghost hunter" is just looking for a ghost...as an investigator we look into trying to prove or disprove anything above the normal (Para, means above) with all means possible. Julie

And to lizard: Labels are labels. People are going to use the latest buzzwords to get recognition. Paranormal investigators is NOT a buzzword that came from a TV show. It's what serious people who research paranormal activity are called. People will argue, "WHo cares, ghosthunters, paranormal investigators etc...all mean the same thing." And I always ask...what is a deer hunter? What is a bear hunter? What is a ghost hunter? enough said.
And sara: not a knock on you, but people who do this for fun are what I call hobby hunters. These people don't know what to do when the *bleep* hits the fan.

That is why I never go out of my home to Investigate strange going ons. I just simply don't stir the "bleep" pot to cause problems in my home, and it is fun. I don't make a passion out of it. I only investigate when the spirit in my home gets fussy, and it does tend to settle the spirit down. I am not a self proclaimed "ghosthunter" or, Paranormal investigator, nor am I a "hobby hunter" or any of the alike . I just find it easier to do it myself than to invite strangers into my home, who could do more damage than good at times or who could be more of a problem to me than the spirit itself.

All storytellers have to find ways to balance storytelling devices with entertainment. You have to tell your audience what your story is about at some point and this requires a setup. Setups can be boring or expositional as the writer or director explains to the audience through words what they are supposed to expect from the story.
Clampett's setups are very clever..."clever" is a word you usually associate with Chuck Jones, but Clampett's clever is different. Jones wants you to notice that what he just did is clever and he will point to the clever bit in some way (a character will glance at the audience and pause, to let you know to appreciate it)
Clampett doesn't care if you know what he did was clever. Cleverness is just one of many storytelling tools he uses to entertain you with. He's so confident in his power to entertain that he just throws tons of ideas at the screen and doesn't worry if you miss some or just feel them.
It's structure is multi-leveled.
This post covers the setups. Clampett has to setup the story and character relationships but doesn't want to rely merely on exposition. He does it in 20 seconds, and you don't even see the characters for most of that time.
The very first thing we hear is "Hey Babbit!" but we don't see the character. The audience already knows this will be an animated incarnation of Abbot and Costello, but Clampett teases us by not showing them. Instead he shows a fence and we hear the violence happening behind it as we see loose boards slamming and garbage flying up in the air as Babbitt smacks Catstello around.
(BTW, a modern audience doesn't know who Abbot and Costello are and this cartoon structure still works. )
This is a really clever and indirect way to establish the characters and it builds suspense and curiosity in the audience. We are hooked right away and can't wait to see what's coming."
By the way, this layout of the fence is great. It has a flowing S curve that gives the pan a much more dynamic motion than if the fence was just horizontal and vertical lines.
"Well go up and get the bird!"
This funny shot shows how hard it's gonna be for Catstello to get the bird.
Clampett makes us think at first that Catstello is an animal lover and doesn't want to hurt anyone, when in reality he's just scared.
"But I donn't wanna hoit nobody Babbbit..."
"What's the matter fraidy cat, this is only a tiny little bird!"
"You mean only a teensy weensy itsy bitsy tiny defenseless bird?"
This is all Bob McKimson animation. Full animation that deserves the work that went into it. No tricks. No squishy stretchy snapping away from and into poses. It's all done to let you enjoy the characters as characters, not as animated cliches.
"Let me at 'im!"
He turns into a Gorilla in the middle of the bravery scene and hops around. This is a pure Clampett type of idea. Just for fun, but it makes the point.
"Let me at 'im!"
Then he goes into a boxer bit...
Many of the top animation directors have been assigned certain skills and signatures that define them. Because Jones' style and cleverness is so obvious, he gets the title of being the clever stylish guy.
Friz gets the title of musical guy, because his timing is so mechanically to the beat and it's hard to find any more tangible cartoon skill that everyone else isn't much better at - he gets music and timing by default. Tex is the wild crazy guy.
Clampett is all of the above and much more. A lot of his creative tools are behind the scenes working to make the entertainment experience stronger and richer, so they don't get written about by critics much. Because you have to actually get into deeper analysis of his films to see how they work, they are harder to write about. Especially if you don't make cartoons yourself and aren't aware of all the problems you have to solve firsthand.
Compare these acting scenes to later cartoons and see if you don't think 40s character acting in cartoons is more fun that the walking talking and held poses of 50s cartoons.
Much more of Tale Of Two Kitties to come.

Are you wondering where this boot can be worn? This unlined, hot weather boot is approved for both training and combat. The upper of this boot is constructed with a combination of suede leather and 1000 denier Cordura® nylon panels. The vamp, quarter and eyestay all have been created using heavy weight split cowhide (1.8 - 2.0 mm), and have a non-woven backing in the vamp and quarter. This backing provides added strength and moisture absorption.
The tongue and panels have been made with 1000 denier Cordura® nylon. This is because it is an exceptionally strong fabric, which is extremely difficult to tear. Even though the laces are non-wicking, they are made to be abrasion-resistant. The tongue, on the Rocky #6826 boot, is fully gusseted to block dirt and debris out of the boot. There's also a full, foam-padded collar, which is there to provide you with a level of comfort.
This Rocky Basics #6826 boot offers incredible protection for your feet. The steel protective toe cap is certified to ASTM F2413-11 I/75 C/75 for the highest levels of Impact, Compression and EH (Electrical Hazard) protection.
But wait, there's more!

ASHEVILLE — On a night the Asheville Tourists honored former longtime manager Joe Mikulik, they ended up falling 6-5 to rival Hickory in 10 innings, thanks to the clutch hitting of Joey Gallo.
Gallo hit the game-winning solo homer in the top of the 10th off Asheville's Patrick Johnson, who hails from Conover, which is just minutes away from Hickory. Gallo also had a towering shot in the first inning over the 42-foot right-field wall.
It was the Tourists' fifth-straight loss, and it was the Crawdads' third straight win.
Asheville held a 5-4 lead going into the ninth, but Hickory's Jordan Akins kept the game going with a screaming home run to left field off Tourist closer Raul Fernandez on an 0-2 pitch.
In the top of the eighth, Hickory had a chance to tie the game but left the tying run 90 feet away at third. Ryan Rua had reached third after tagging up on Alfaro's long fly to center, but he didn't get to touch home after Mazara grounded to second for the final out of the inning.
Earlier in the inning, Rua's RBI double cut the Asheville lead to 5-4.
Gallo went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, and Rua was 2-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI.
Following Gallo's solo shot in the top of the first, Asheville answered in the bottom half of the inning with a groundout RBI by Francisco Sosa.
After scoreless second and third innings, both teams put up two runs apiece in the fourth. Jorge Alfaro provided both Crawdad runs with a two-run double, and the Tourists' runs came courtesy of an RBI groundout by Julian Yan and then a throwing error that allowed Sosa to score from third.
Prior to the game, the Tourists honored Mikulik in a pre-game ceremony as they presented him with his 2012 South Atlantic League Championship ring. Mikulik managed the Tourists for 13 years and guided them to the SAL title last year. The SAL Hall of Famer ended up getting released by Colorado Rockies organization following last year and is now a roving outfield instructor for the Texas Rangers.
Asheville now begins a four-game road trip to Rome, Ga., and returns to McCormick Field on Tuesday to host Lexington for three games and then Lexington for four.
Gallo's homer in 10th gives Hickory 6-5 win over Tourists

The endocardium is the inner lining of the heart muscle. Endocarditis is an infection of this lining and the heart valves.
Causes of endocarditis include:
- Bacterial infection —the most common cause
- Viral or fungal infection
- Medical conditions that result in blood clotting too easily, causing a noninfectious form
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chances of endocarditis include:
- Having an artificial heart valve
- History of endocarditis
- History of rheumatic fever , which can damage heart valves
- Heart defects
- Enlarged heart
- Mitral valve prolapse
- History of IV drug use
Recent procedures that can lead to
bacterial endocarditis
, including:
- Tooth cleaning
- Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy
- Bronchoscopy
- Surgery on the gastrointestinal, urinary, or respiratory tracts
- Gallbladder or prostate surgery
Symptoms of endocarditis include:
- Fever, chills
- Weakness, low energy
- Sweatiness, especially at night
- Shortness of breath
- Cough
- Loss of appetite, weight loss
- Chest pain
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Painful red bumps on the fingers and toes
- Purple dots on the whites of the eyes, under the fingernails, and over the collarbone
- Painful red patches on the fingers, palms, and soles
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor will check your heart for unusual heart sounds. These are called heart murmurs .
Tests include:
- Blood tests
- Echocardiogram
Treatment may include:
- Antibiotics—given by IV for up to 4-8 weeks
- Surgery—to repair or replace the valve if it is severely damaged or has caused heart failure
If you have a high risk of infection:
- You may need to take antibiotics before certain dental or medical procedures.
- Talk to your dentist or doctor before the procedure.
The American Heart Association guidelines recommend that preventive antibiotic therapy should be considered for individuals with the following cardiac conditions:
- Various forms of congenital heart defects
- Artificial heart valves
- History of endocarditis
- Heart transplant recipients who have developed valve disease
Avoiding illicit IV drugs will also decrease your risk of infection.

Last summer Korea shocked the international community by announcing it would start 'scientific' whaling. Surprised by the controversy, our government took a step back and told the media that they will consult with the various stakeholders such as fishing community, NGOs, and the concerned governments and make a decision whether to submit the scientific whaling proposal. The South Korean government also made it clear that if there are other means to achieve our research goals without killing whales, we could consider not going for scientific whaling.
So four months later, on a cold November day, I found myself walking into the government complex in Gwacheon, a short subway ride from Seoul, to join other Korean environmental groups at the consultation. There were lots of government departments - Fisheries, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, Ministry of Government Legislation – but the key one was the Cetacean Research Institute, a body modeled on Japan's Institute for Cetacean Research which seeks to bring commercial whaling here to South Korea.
In Korea hundreds of minke whales are killed every year and their meat is traded along the east coast, especially around Ulsan where the CRI has its headquarters at a former whaling harbour. Whale counts are incomplete but what information there is suggest that the minke whales, which are classified as protected, are declining 5 to 7 percent each year.
I explained how scientists all over the world study whales without killing them and gave details on various whales research programs. The man from the CRI didn't answer my repeated question on why they would want to kill a protected species. He said they already did lots of non-lethal research but that the best way to see what whales have been eating is to cut them open.
Clearly Korea has not given up on 'scientific' whaling, otherwise I would not have had to go to this meeting. But there is still some hope. The CRI man said that they will assess which is better, lethal or non-lethal research, bearing in mind other issues. "Other issues" means political pressure.
The Fisheries Ministry's representative at the meeting summed it up well: "We might go scientific whaling and we might not. We are listening to you before making any decision."
The government will make its decision on Dec 3, less than a month from now. I believe they really care about international opinion. Please let them know that the world stands opposed to a resumption of commercial whaling by sending the Korean government a message here.

Killing whales is a terrible act.
They are amazing animals, they have been around for millions of years and they get as old as us. They deserve our respect - not our greed.
Try instead to connect with the whales and see them as the fantastic animals they are. Killing a whale is like killing the elder in our society.
Big hugs and good luck.

My washing machine is possessed...
Posted 30 June 2009 - 01:08 PM
As a paranormal investigator, Ive had plenty of experiences, but none in my own home Until last night Now my wife (Purplebutter) and I have been noticing something rather odd the last few weeks, but weve always brushed it off as something else The lights in our front entry way always seem to be on when we come home, even though we thought someone turned them off Because this is easily dismissed as someone forgetting to turn off lights (mainly me), weve never thought much of it However, we have become more adamant of turning the lights off when we leave the house Lately, weve been coming home and the lights are on But yesterday was a bit different I leave for work early in the AM, while PB and our daughter leave later PB claims that before she left, she and our daughter turned every light off in the house, and double checked them to make sure When they got home in the afternoon, the front entry lights were on as well as the dining room and living room lights They both swear they were turned off, so I got a nasty phone call at work telling me I forgot to turn off lights when I came home for lunch But I didnt I didnt have time yesterday I was at work the whole time
But thats not the end of our experiences last night, and this one we havent been able to explain yet Last night when I came home, I went upstairs to change into something a bit more comfortable, sat myself down in front of my PC, and started working on some changes to my teams website Around 8pm, our daughter went off to bed, while PB went upstairs to change and bring a book down so she could read The house was rather quite up until 10:30pm when we heard a strange noise coming from upstairs I looked at PB and nonchalantly told her it was the washing machine, thinking she had gone upstairs to start a load (When I start working on something on my PC, the house could fall down and I wouldnt notice it according to PB) She told me she hadnt moved from the sofa since she came back down stairs So I ran upstairs to look at the machine It was half way through its wash cycle, which means it had already been running for at least 10 minutes It didnt look as if anything had been disturbed or fallen onto the machine to hit the button, so I was able to rule that out So I next opened the machine and there was no laundry inside That rules out PB going up to start a load and forgetting she did (yea, like that would happen LOL) You have to push the button on the machine rather hard to get it to turn on, so I doubt our cats would have jumped up onto the machine and accidentally turned it on So I broke out our EMF meter to see if there was something abnormal, but all the readings were fine So I let the machine finish its cycle Nothing else happened that night
One other thought we had was that our daughter woke up in the middle of the night and turned it on, but we dont think that happened either due to the fact we have bells on her door and hear them every time she opens her door I even checked on her and she was still asleep
Now whats really odd about this whole experience is we held a mock investigation at my house last Saturday night My brother has always wanted to know what we do on an investigation, so we thought wed show him Just broke out recorders, EMF, and barometric meters so we could give him an idea Nothing happened that night and nothing was picked up on recorders (didnt really expect to catch anything since nothing much has ever happened in our home anyway)
So has there always been something with us and we just havent interacted with it, is it something just passing through, saw what we were doing and decided to have some fun with us, or is it something else??? We still cannot figure out what happened and were still researching it, but thought Id just share this little experience with all of you
Have a good one...

Hey that is very interesting. Do you know of anything that has happened in the house before you, or were you the first owners? Can't wait to hear anymore info! Perhaps get your camera and take a few shots, I wouldn't doubt you catching anything!
We are the first owners... This house, or rather town home, was built in 2007 and we purchased it brand new... All we know about the land is it used to be farm land, but that's about it...

It would seem to me that if you have lived in the place for a couple of years and never experienced any activity before now, it is would be more likely you attracted the attention of a visitor as opposed to a permanent resident. But then again you never know.
This is exactly what I thought... It may have just been something passing through, saw we were doing an investigation on Saturday, and decided to show us they were around...

About Me
- About Platinum Lucario
- Biography
- Hi, my name's Davin. I tend to enjoy ROM Hacking, however I pretty much lack in knowledge in hex editing and all that, I cannot be sure about how long it is going to take me to learn how to know what each of the data is. Because I am hoping to hack the maps of Pokémon Black. And if only... if I was able to do something like that.
Anyways, as for reality, I'm a guy who lives in a town called Warrnambool, which is in a state of Australia called Victoria. However, my life has been pretty screwed up since from when I was little, because when I was little... I was dignosed with a disorder called autism, which I'd say is a very horrible disorder to have... because it made me sensitive to certain movements and sounds when I was little, along with the fact that I learned very slowly, and yeah... I so wish I could get rid of it totally, I'm just greatful that I don't have a mental illness type of disorder like what my middle sister has, she has paranoid schizophrenia, which causes her to have halucinations and tends to rant on about things that aren't even happening, and yes... it's much worse than what I've been dignosed with, and whenever someone makes her take the medication... she goes off the medication later on, which is why my brothers and sisters going to try and keep her on the medication, she lives in Melbourne (where my other brothers and sisters live). And also... since I started in a school that is for kids with learning disabilites, I didn't even learn as much as what other people learned, which is rather sad, actually. :(
Anyways, I came to PC waaaay back sometime in December 2008, I never even registered or did anything, what I noticed when I first arrived on PC was that PC had a Christmas Wooper forum style, I first heard about PC after when I heard about a ROM Hack of FireRed called Pokémon Shiny Gold, and the other ROM Hacking tools, not just AdvanceMap. I never registered until January 7th, 2008, when I had to download something... which I cannot remember what it was, but I only used my account for that. 'Twas only 'till April 1st, 2008 when I made my first post in the April Fools Day thread that was created at the time when the usergroups were messed around with staff being members, normal members being mods, Tier 1-5 PC supporters as other staff usergroups, but of course... they didn't have powers. while the staff pretending to be normal members did. xD
So yeah, that's pretty much all the things I've put in about me. And while I'm at it... I wish to learn about what the hex values mean and all that. I do know that they're in the same way as 9, 10, 11, 12, and all that, but it would go more like 09, 0A, 0B, 0C ect. But I'm hoping to KNOW if it means an object or a texture or something like that in a ROM, so this is why I probably need some help.

Two years after an ordinance went into effect in the city of Hendersonville to protect dogs from abuse and neglect, the phone at the city police department barely rings.
The new law came amidst a wave of pressure from animal advocates and after officials and law enforcement spent two years studying the issue.
Animal advocates who want to free dogs from continuous chaining lobbied for an ordinance outlawing the practice, saying it is a "symptom of abuse." But police say they've only been called about violations regarding chaining five times in the past year.
Chief Herbert Blake of the Hendersonville Police Department says the department has received 18 calls regarding dogs being chained since the law limiting the types of chains they can be tethered with became active April 1, 2011.
Of those 18 calls, only one dog was removed from the property and taken to a shelter; 10 were found in compliance with the new law, one owner was issued a warning, one was warned in a note, one dog was untangled by an officer, one dog was removed from city limits by its owners and two were dogs unable to be found.
But at the Henderson County Sheriff's Office, since the county transferred the authority of animal control to deputies in 2007, the phones ring constantly.
Henderson County Emergency Communications started dispatching calls for animal enforcement deputies Jan. 1, 2008. Since 2010, the department has responded to 18,814 calls related to animal enforcement activities.
"Last year alone we responded to 6,721 calls for service," said Maj. Frank Stout of the Sheriff's Office. A six-man unit, including supervisors, handles calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Despite the overwhelming workload, officers say very few calls come in regarding dogs on chains. Stout estimates that less than a dozen callers reported dogs suffering from abuse or neglect in relation to being chained over the past couple of years.
"The issue on most calls like that for us are the inability of the animal to reach shelter, or improper nutrition and water concerns," Stout said.
County ordinances require all people in charge of animals to provide "adequate food, water, necessary medical attention and adequate shelter." County codes also stipulate that "no animal may be chained outdoors unattended without a chain or cable of suitable length designed and placed to prevent choking or strangulation."
Codes require the animals be in an "area free of obstacles and humanely clean so that the animal may have access to food, water and shelter."
The city's ordinance takes the restrictions a step further. It limits the minimum length of chains to 10 feet, which animal advocates say is the standard length of tethers available at stores. It requires swivels at both ends of tethers and chains to be attached to collars or harnesses worn by the animal and not directly placed around the animal's neck or used in conjunction with choke collars.
It limits the weight of the tether to not exceed 10 percent of the animal's total body weight.
The law allows for the animal to have a "reasonable and unobstructed range of motion without the possibility of entanglement." It limits the minimum age of dogs that can be tethered to 4 months. It requires animals to have their own separate tethers.
The code outlaws pulley systems, running lines or trolley systems used with training collars, and requires tethers to be affixed to stationary objects that keep an animal from coming within five feet any property line.
Those who break the city or county ordinances face a $500 fine.
Valerie Lamoreaux, one of the lead organizers of the Off the Chain initiative that seeks to free dogs from 24-hour chaining in the county, thinks the laws needs to change.
In a prepared statement, Lamoreaux and Theresa Kisielewski of Off the Chain wrote, "It's pretty simple; this is not as complicated as it seems. As to the number of calls reported, there may be two obvious reasons people don't call, one being fear of repercussions and (the other being) the knowledge that previous calls have produced no changes due to the weak law at present. At this point, the bigger question is what is the real reason for not passing a constructive ordinance?"
"I have faith the truth is going to prevail in the end," Kisielewski added.
Henderson County is currently tied to a leash law. No person having charge of any domestic animal is allowed to let the animal run free outside of that person's private property or designated off-leash areas, according to county ordinances.
Exceptions to the rule apply to dogs used to control livestock, dogs used for hunting, animals at a kennel club or similar event, and law enforcement canines training or acting in the line of duty.
The Sheriff's Office and Hendersonville Police Department declined to take a stance on the issue, but representatives of both say they follow the letter of the law as it is written.

MINDFULNESS (Part A Million)
My God! I was wrong two times! The first two times in my whole entire life I've ever been wrong! What's happening?
Thanks to Ted Bringer and Dosho Port for pointing out a couple more times the word "mindfulness" or something like it occurs in Dogen's writing. The longest and most complete explanations he gives of mindfulness occur in a chapter titled SANJUSHICHI-BON BODAI BUNPO (三十七品菩提分法). This is chapter 73 of the 95 chapter Shobogenzo and appears as the first chapter of book 4 of the Nishijima/Cross English translation and the first chapter of book 10 in Nishijima's rendition of Shobogenzo in modern Japanese (現代語訳正法眼蔵, which contains Dogen's actual words as well).
Here's what some of what Dogen says:
Mindfulness as a root is a withered tree as a mass of red flesh. We call a mass of red flesh "a withered tree," and a withered tree is mindfulness as a root. We ourselves who are groping for the mark are mindfulness. There is mindfulness that exists in moments of owning one's body, and there is mindfulness that exists in moments of having no mind. There is conscious mindfulness, and there is mindfulness in which there is no body. The very life-root of all the people on Earth is mindfulness as a root. The very life-root of all the buddhas in the ten directions is mindfulness as a root. There can be many people in one state of mindfulness and many states of mindfulness in one person. At the same time, there are people who have mindfulness and there are people who do not have mindfulness. People do not always have mindfulness, and mindfulness is not necessarily connected with people. Even so, through the skillful maintenance of this mindfulness as a root, the virtue of perfect realization exists.
The word that gets translated as "mindfulness" in the Nishijima/Cross translation is 念. In contemporary Japanese this character is pronounced "nen" and means senses, ideas or attention. In common usage it occurs in words like 残念 (zanen) "regrettable," in which the first character refers to things generally thought of as lacking or 念入り (neniri) "careful" in which the second character means something like "add" or "enter." The word 念 is not usually translated as mindfulness in non-Buddhist contexts. "Mind," without the "-fulness," might also be a good reading for 念. Try it that way and see what it says to you. Kinda different, eh?
If you want to get real tricky, the Chinese character 念 consists of two parts. The 今 on top means "now" while the 心 on the bottom means "mind" or "heart." In Buddhist contexts in English 心 is most often translated as "mind." So whoever made up the character seems to have wanted to point out the condition of mind right now. For what that's worth, which isn't much really. Just some random kanji play for y'all. Nishijima once told me a story of visiting some Biblical scholars in Israel. He said the visit showed him "the dangers of believing in ancient texts." We get locked into battles of words that are incredibly stupid even though they sound wicked smart.
The point is that the word "mindfulness" has become such a bullshit term in current usage that it's worse than useless. It's time to strangle it and stomp it out of its misery.
Fuck mindfulness.
My friend Tonen told me a story that when she was in Japan a Zen teacher she met there said that Americans who visited his temple were always gushing to him about how mindful they were being. "Put away your video cameras," he told them, "You're just video taping yourselves being mindful!"
Reading what Dogen wrote it's clear that the word 念 was widely misunderstood even in his day among the people he spoke to. Thus he tries to twist their usual understanding of it into areas they don't expect it to go.
In any case, the same Dogen chapter also contains the line, "Do not listen to the inadequate words of Zen Masters and the like." So there!

Since we're not exempt from adversity, playwright Gina Edwards has crafted "Seasons of Life — The Revolution," a new gospel musical intended to encourage us to get through the rough patches in life.
Since we're not exempt from adversity, playwright Gina Edwards has crafted "Seasons of Life — The Revolution," a new gospel musical intended to encourage us to get through the rough patches in life.
"Seasons of Life — The Revolution" will debut at Jesus Love Temple on Saturday.
The lowdown
From the outside looking in, a handful of folks look like they have it all together. But in all honesty, they're entangled in a web of drama that not even a superhero like Spider-Man could unravel himself from on his own.
One of those entangled is Bishop Ferguson. He appears confident in the pulpit, but behind closed doors he and Mother Ferguson have a strained relationship and it's eating away at him. Then there's Markus, a young adult grieving the loss of his faithful grandmother, Sister Smith. Having been raised by his grandmother since he was 13, as his father had been deployed to Iraq and his deadbeat mother, Markeita, walked out on him, Markus is still bitter and wants nothing to do with her, even though she appears at Smith's funeral and wants to work her way back into his life. Not to mention, Carmella Samuels has been working overtime to keep from thinking about her miscarriage.
The show ends on a happy note, as the characters will find strength to persevere through God. But the problems in this musical are real, as is Edwards' message that God wants to help anyone in need.
"Just like there's seasons in the year - winter, summer, spring and fall - there's seasons in our lives," said Edwards, 48, of Bear, who's a member of Word Alive Worship Center also in Bear. "There're times that we have up times. There're times we have down times. There's times where we're challenged, when we have problems. But through the whole thing you can gain the victory, you can come out and still win."
How it started
"Seasons of Life — The Revolution" is a mash-up of three of Edwards' previous plays, featuring the same characters. The original musical dates back to 2009 and was titled "Seasons of Life." Then came "Through It All Can You Stand" in 2011, followed by "The Crossroads" in 2012.
"This year people were asking me to bring back 'Seasons of Life,'" said Edwards, explaining the genesis of her new musical. "So I decided since the characters were the same, why don't I just put all three of those plays together? And since people were familiar with the first play, 'Seasons of Life,' I just used that title and I called it 'The Revolution,' meaning there's a new twist to it."
Speaking of twists, Edwards encountered a peculiar one when assembling the cast. She invited Tiffany Graham (portraying Carmella's mother, Carmen) to audition after overhearing her sing to her daughter at a Bob Evans Restaurant in Bear. After the audition, Graham started recruiting.
"Tiffany texted me and told me there were other parts available for the play and she wanted to know if I was available to come and audition," said Brian Morris, 28, of Chester, Pa., a friend of Graham cast as Pastor Dexter. "I said sure, I'll give it a try."

To the editor,
On the surface Proposal 5 looks good.
In a Democracy, we expect "majority rule." Proposal 5 would require a�two-thirds majority vote in both the state House of Representatives and state Senate or a statewide vote of the voting public, before any new tax could be installed or any existing tax increased. And, not too many people want to pay more taxes.
So what's wrong?
There are 38 members in the state Senate. A�two-thirds majority would be 25 votes, thus leaving 13 votes against the majority. The possibility then exists that those 13 senators, whoever they may be, could stop any tax issue, good or bad, dead in its tracks. That means the entire state of Michigan as the possibility of being held hostage by only 13 legislators. Proposal 5 provides for the definite possibility of minority rule.
Proposal is not good for the state of Michigan.
Vote�"no" on Proposal 5.
� Jack Ferguson, Coldwater
Ferguson: Proposal 5 provides for the definite possibility of minority rule

About Delaware Young Playwrights Festival
This year's DYPF theme, "You've got to be carefully taught," was taken from the upcoming DTC production of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein's "South Pacific." High school students participating in DYPF were asked to write a play in which a character grapples with reconciling what he or she was taught early on with what that character experiences later in life.
The six finalist plays were selected to receive additional guidance for development through a series of workshops led by professional theater artists at DTC.
The mission of the DYPF is to provide students with an authentic audience for their creative writing and teachers with an innovative literacy program.
DYPF uses educational resources, interactive workshops with professional theater artists, personal feedback to every playwright, and public performances to engage students in the art of theater through the act of writing a play.
What: Delaware Theatre Company's Delaware Young Playwrights Festival
When: 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25

Difference between revisions of "Tulum"
Revision as of 17:54, 19 June 2013
Tulum is on the Yucatan Peninsula, in Mexico. It is one of the earliest resorts in Mexico, offering a place of worship and solitude for the Mayan Kings, clergy and Gods in early times. The tropical beach backdrop is the main attraction of this picturesque, much-visited small ruin on the shore of the Caribbean Sea. Shortly after your arrival, you will understand why early Mayans picked this beautiful place to relax.
Be prepared for LOTS of people and tour groups at the archaeological site. To avoid the crowds, it is best to stay overnight and visit the ruins early in the morning before the buses arrive, or later in the afternoon. Morning is recommended since you can catch spectacular vistas when the sun is rising over the Caribbean.
Get in
From Cancun International Airport
You can catch an ADO bus to Tulum directly three times a day: 15:40, 19:45 and 20:45. Ticket prices are about $168 MXN (about $16 USD). The ride will take about 2 hours.
You can also take the ADO bus to Playa del Carmen with departures nearly every hour for around $120 MXN (about $12 USD). Once in Playa del Carmen you transfer to a second bus to Tulum for an additional $50 MXN (about $5 USD).
Rental cars are priced reasonably and are the easiest way to get around the Tulum area. Shop around rates upon arrival, and feel free to haggle. Check with your credit card company to see if they automatically insure you, most do so you don't have to pay the additional insurance that the rental agency often tries to insist you purchase. It is a very easy drive to Tulum. To get there you take the only highway south from Cancun Airport straight down past Playa del Carmen, Akumal, etc. About 90 minutes from the airport you will arrive in Tulum.
If you don't have a transportation manner assured it is highly recommended to pre-book a transfer from the airport to your hotel o destination. There are some companies very reliable, safe and professional, recommended in TripAdvisor with whom you can book.
Many of the Hotels in Tulum offer a pick-up service from the Cancun International Airport for an additional price depending on the hotel.
You can also take a Taxi from the Airport for an additional price (prices depends on the company at the airport).
By bus
Buses from Cancun run quite regularly. There is also an ADO bus direct from Cancun Airport.
Buses from Playa del Carmen run hourly or so. Bus station is at southern end of Fifth Avenue near Playacar. ADO Bus stops at Xcaret and Xel-ha enroute to Tulum. Mayab bus stops more frequently enroute to Tulum from Playa del Carmen.
To visit the ruins, get off the bus at the first Tulum stop at the intersection with the access road to the ruins. It's an easy one mile or so flat walk to the ruins from the intersection.
An alternative to the buses is to catch a "collectivo" van. In Playa del Carmen you can find these on Calle 2 towards Avenida 20. One-way trip costs $40 MXN.
By car
If you drive yourself to the ruins before opening time, it may be a bit confusing as to where to go and what to do. As soon as you park, a man on a bicycle should find you and charge you for parking ($50 MXN). You must go through a sort of half open-air mall (which is empty before 8AM). From there you can either sign up with a tour guide ($20 USD per person?), pay for a shuttle ride to the ruins ($20 MXN), or walk a mile along a road to the ruins. The guides are reported to be better story tellers than actual experts on Mayan culture. The walk is on level ground and passes quickly as you admire the jungle and abandoned shops along the way. If you can walk it, do it and save a few bucks! As you approach a stone wall, to the left will be a brown wooden building where you can purchase your ticket into the ruins (57 MXN, an additional 35 pesos if they see that you have a video camera). From there, head along a stone path through the jungle and into the ruins...
Three Tulums
What most folks really need to know, and only manage to figure out once there, is the fact that there are really three different areas all referred to as Tulum only minutes away from each other, not close enough though to walk to and from.
Tulum Pueblo sits split by highway 307 running South-North. "El Pueblo", as referred to by locals, is home to most workers of the tourist industry and where many of the stores, supermarkets, two bus stations, inns, hostels and small hotels are found. This section of town has a definite feel of existing mostly to cater to the Tulum ruins. Tulum pueblo is indeed a destination for shopping, great restaurants, a modest night life, studying the language at Instituto Chac-Mool Spanish School, booking tours, banking, shopping for food, local vegetables, fruits, cafes, and local flavor. Do not miss it.
Tulum Playa nests along the coastline that leads into the Sian Ka'an Biosphere [Ecological Reserve], the Caribbean white sandy beaches to the east, an impressive mangrove & wetland reserve to the south. Tulum Playa embraces many of the fancier, ecological, boutique and spa hotels, and it has a decent selection of restaurants and night spots. There are also a number of affordable beach front cabana-type lodging locations. Walk the beach and simply step in and inquire about accommodations and rates. Always ask to see the available room(s) before committing: cabanas generally look better from outside than inside; bathrooms in particular are often in sad disrepair.
It should be noted most of these establishments are Eco-friendly and do not provide electricity past midnight. Toilet paper can not be flushed and it is asked that water and other resources be used sparingly. The hotels in Tulum aim to keep Tulum as it is and stop the ecological problems that have already taken hold in Cancun and Playa del Carmen.
If you are staying on the beach and trying to save money, it is wise to stock up on food and drinks in the pueblo. There are not too many restaurant options on the beach, and the ones that are operational are comparatively quite expensive.
Taxis have a near monopoly on transport to and from the playa. Buses come from time to time, but hitchhiking can also get you where you need to go.
The beach area hotel zone sees considerable trade in and use of illicit substances. Keep in mind that for some visitors this is the area's main attraction, so if you choose to attend a bonfire or rumba party use common sense. The street running parallel to the coast where most of the cabanas are is unlit and curvy. Exercise extra caution after dark. There are no sidewalks.
Tulum Ruinas is the archaeological site where the Maya ruins of Tulum stand. It is conformed by a-mile-long road leading into the ruins from highway 307. The road is flanked by several restaurants, a commercial area geared to one-day visitors, a huge parking lot, a small bus station that operates part-time and a handful of middle range hotels.
Tulum is mostly known for its ruins, which strike an impressive image next to the sea, but were constructed during a time period of Maya culture that was waning. The site is notable for a small cenote (albeit dry during Jan 2009), beautiful beach below the ruin laden cliffs and some well preserved stellae in only one of its structures. After visiting other ruins in the area such as Coba, Chichen Itza and Ek Balam, Tulum's main claim is the sea-side setting. It is best visited on a clear, bright day or at sunrise. Bring your swimming suit. At the time of writing, one of the best sections was closed to visitors and covered with plastic bottles and other refuse.
A standard to telephoto zoom lens does well if you must photograph during times of peak tourism. This strategy will keep people out of your shots of the ruins. Tripods are allowed only with a permit that is exclusively available in Mexico City for a $500 fee. A monopod may be a possibility.
Get around
Things to Do
In much of the Yucatan, rainwater collects in a system of underground caves and tunnels. Where these tunnels reach the surface is known as a cenote (pronounced seh-NOH-teh). Cenotes usually allow swimming and diving, and at some you can rent related equipment. They contain fresh water, which is often cool since they are shaded in most cases. Cenotes allow close-up access to fauna such as fish, turtles, and in some cases, bats. Some cenotes are mainly enclosed with only small openings on the surface and a larger above-water cavernous area that extends under the rock covering. Others are more open and allow more natural light.
If staying for more than just a couple of days, you may want to experience taking some Spanish lessons at the beach or at the Spanish school.
Markets catering mainly to the bus loads of tourists are situated on the road leading to the entrance of the archaeological site.
There are also markets in town on 307 in the main stretch of town. Many cater to tourists however be sure to give them a look anyway. There are a lot of beautiful hand crafted Mexican pottery and fabrics. If you turn off of 307 and vere into town away from the main strip you can discover tons of tiny establishments and get a feel for the truly sleepy town of Tulum.
Habana Cafe - If you're craving a taste of Latin life with a touch of Cuban spice, the atmosphere at Habana Café in Tulum Pueblo will satisfy. Habana's Cuban inspired design is permeated with beats from Latin-infused reggae, Son, Latin house and Merengue. The street level bar brings a style reminiscent of the elegance and opulence of "The Havana 50s" to Tulum. Upstairs in the Sky Bar The scene is even more impressive on the massive, rooftop bar. With its elaborate rooftop garden, 10 foot palm trees, a huge palapa bar, lanterns, and attractive bartenders, the Sky Bar may be the swankest place in Tulum for imbibing outdoors.
Also try a few other cool spots in Tulum that offer fun drink specials with a hip tropical flair:
The sleeping options have a poor price-performance ratio. In the zona hotelera (at the beach) really simple rundown cabanas with shared bath and without seaview are sold for $50 USD. If the place doesn't have a proper reception desk, don't stay there or, at least, don't trust the anonymous gatekeeper with your credit card.
Note: You may encounter problems if you try to make phone calls from the beach. Payphones are sparse and often broken, and they are all owned by one company. These phones require you to purchase a special proprietary card of at least 100 pesos, and the cards cannot be used at regular payphones. A better alternative is to use a normal payphone in the pueblo, or use a Mexican cellphone (There is reception on the beach, but make sure to recharge in the pueblo beforehand).

The Crosstown Showdown between the Andover Trojans and Andover Central Jaguars was like a war where neither side seemed able to gain a significant advantage over their opponent.
The Crosstown Showdown between the Andover Trojans and Andover Central Jaguars was like a war where neither side seemed able to gain a significant advantage over their opponent.
Eventually, though, the Trojans pulled through and won 14-13, continuing their winning streak for the season.
The game started two hours late due to inclement weather in the area. Kickoff was at 9 p.m.
Central senior Kier Stamp scored the first touchdown of the night late in the first quarter and the extra point was good. In the second quarter, Andover's Cole Gumeringer scored Andover's first touchdown, tying the score at seven.%
The score remained tied until the third quarter when Central's Ryan Banwart caught a long pass and scored another touchdown. The extra point was no good, leaving the score at 13-7.
Midway through the third quarter, Gumeringer went down due to a knee injury. The game was paused to allow medical personnel to help Gumeringer and get him off the field. Gumeringer remained out of play for the rest of the game.
Into the fourth quarter, the score remained where it was after Banwart's touchdown. Central's Kevin Olney received a minor injury early in the final quarter and left the field. Shortly after, Banwart also went down with a minor injury, but walked off the field with a slight limp.
Junior Cole VanEpps of Andover ran 27 yards late in the final quarter, bringing the Trojans close to scoring. Eventually, Van Epps scored the final touchdown of the game, the extra point was good and the score was 14-13.
After the final touchdown, the game intensified in the final three minutes. Neither team would let the other get far on possessions, making for a long last quarter.
However, the Trojans were able to keep their score up and remain undefeated for the season.
"Everything that could have went wrong went wrong," Andover head coach Mike Lee said. "In the end, our guys hung in there and pulled it off."
Lee attributes the success of the game to Van Epps, junior Coen Rasmussen, and seniors Mike Lopez and Brandon Fullington.
"Those guys came in and were huge tonight," Lee said. "It's just proof that everybody's gotta be ready to play because you don't know when your chance is gonna come. And it came tonight for them."
As the Andover fans and team ran over to the bell rung when an Andover team scores a victory, Lee nodded at their enthusiasm.
"This is why it's worth it," he said.
Central head coach Tom Audley was disappointed in the outcome of the game, but said overall, his team did well.
"We got off to a great start," Audley said. "I think, at times, we went very well on both sides of the ball. Late in the game, we had trouble getting on the field. I think their depth put us at a disadvantage at the end. They had more juice at the end than we did."
Audley was happy with his team's performance during the game.
"I thought our kids played really hard and played physical," he said. "It might have been as well as we've played all year.
Audley added the two teams were evenly matched.
"Coach Lee and his squad did a great job," Audley said. "I'm sure he's proud of them and I'm very proud of our kids."
