The neighbor, Tyia Clay, fired up Facebook Live.
"He's dead," someone in the video says. "They just brought a bag into the house ... don't tell her ... don't tell her," they say to another person while standing outside of the home while Cashell was inside of the house.
RAW VIDEO: Woman goes to neighbors house for help after husband shot, neighbor goes Facebook Live
Cashell is seen in the video crying. When deputies arrive at Clay's home wanting to speak with Cashell, Cashell asked them several times about the condition of her husband.
Cashell, 41, called 911 after her husband, Christopher Cashell, slashed the tires on her car with a knife, according to the GBI
A deputy responded to the home at 416 Green Island Road in Bonaire.
Christopher Cashell, 45, was outside of his home when the deputy arrived, according to the GBI. Christopher Cashell then went back into the home and the deputy followed, according to the GBI.
That's when Cashell pulled a handgun on the deputy who then shot Cashell four times in the torso killing him, according to GBI Special Agent J.T. Ricketson.
The name of the deputy has not yet been released.

Even though autoimmune diseases are estimated to affect some 23 million Americans, less than 13 percent of us can actually name an illness in this group. This underlines the fact that the study of the immune system (immunology) is still very much an evolving field, as doctors and researchers learn more about the body's natural defense system—and what happens when it malfunctions.
To better understand your child's autoimmune disease, it helps to know generally how the immune system works:
In autoimmune disease, the adaptive immune system mistakenly begins attacking specific healthy cells and tissues—and fails to shut off that attack. This is different from other immune system malfunctions, such as acquired immunodeficiency disorders, like AIDS, in which the immune system is weakened or ineffective, and allergic disorders, in which the immune system overreacts to a foreign invader (pollen, for example).
Doctors have also begun to recognize autoinflammatory disorders—which happen when the innate immune system goes awry—as being distinct from autoimmune illnesses. Though both attack the body itself and cause inflammation, an autoimmune disease targets antigens in specific cells and tissues (like the lining of joints, in arthritis), while an autoinflammatory disease launches a less specific attack against the body.
With the ability to crop up in virtually any part of the body, autoimmune disease comes in many varieties. However, your child's illness will likely fall into one of two basic groups:
The line between these two groups is a bit blurry, though, since organ-specific disorders can impact other parts of the body. Also, it's not unusual for children to have more than one autoimmune disorder at the same time.
Because there are several dozen kinds of autoimmune diseases, risk factors depend somewhat on which illness you're talking about. In general, though, researchers have found strong links to the following:
So far, there's no way to stop autoimmune disease before it starts. But prevention remains the long-term goal—especially since harmful autoimmune activity can be difficult to "turn off" once it's begun.
In a recent report to Congress, the National Institutes of Health outlined the three challenges that researchers face:
Complications depend on the specific disease, and can range from relatively mild to very serious. Among the more common complications in children with autoimmune disease are eye inflammation, rashes and stunted growth. Life-threatening complications, like inflammation of vital organs (kidneys, heart, etc.), tend to be rare.
In addition, some of the more powerful medications used to treat autoimmune diseases can have significant side effects. If they are recommended for your child, your child's doctor will discuss their potential complications in detail with you.
By and large, autoimmune diseases are considered lifelong conditions. There are certain illnesses, like juvenile dermatomyositis, can be "cured" in the sense that with successful treatment, the symptoms never recur. Other illnesses, like certain types of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, are things that many kids simply grow out of. But even when a child's autoimmune disease "goes away" (this is called remission), she'll need to keep a close eye on her health throughout her life, because her immune system has already shown it's capable of attacking healthy tissue.
If your child has a more serious autoimmune disease, she may go through periods of getting better (remission) and getting worse (relapse). A sudden, severe return of symptoms, called a flare-up, isn't uncommon. This seesawing back and forth can be difficult to deal with, especially over the long term, but both medical treatment and lifestyle changes can go a long way toward bringing these shifts under control.
Even after diagnosing your child's particular autoimmune disease, doctors can't predict exactly what will happen. But they'll be able to give you a general sense of what the future holds, and work with you and your child to develop a treatment plan that ensures the best possible outcome.
The exact reason that some children's immune systems begin attacking their own bodies is still a mystery. But we do know that autoimmune diseases are not contagious, and they don't appear to be caused by any one thing in particular. Instead, scientists believe there's a multi-step process at work:
Heredity: A child inherits certain genes from her parents that make her susceptible to a particular disease.
Environmental factors: The disease doesn't actually reveal itself until it's "triggered" by something—an infection, say, or exposure to certain toxins or drugs.
Hormonal factors: Given that many autoimmune diseases tend to affect adolescent girls and young women, the presence or amount of certain naturally occurring hormones in the body may also play a role in when these illnesses come to the fore.
Researchers are now working to discover which genes are involved and how they interact—and are likewise investigating a number of potential environmental and hormonal triggers—in order to bring us closer to one day curing these diseases.
There's no single set of symptoms that covers the spectrum of autoimmune disease, and the most common symptoms tend to be nonspecific—meaning they could be caused by some non-autoimmune diseases, too. This can make it harder for doctors to diagnose your child, and why your child may also need a number of tests to narrow down the possibilities.
Signs that your child may be having a problem with her immune system include:
Recurring fever, fatigue, rashes, weight loss and so on are not concrete proof that your child has an autoimmune disease, but they do mean something is making her ill and needs medical attention. You should take her to see her pediatrician, who will refer you to a specialist—likely a pediatric rheumatologist—if an autoimmune disease is suspected.
Q: Why did my child get an autoimmune disease?
A: We don't know exactly why some children's immune systems begin attacking their own bodies—it's related to something in their genes and likely a number of other, unknown factors. It's important to remember that your child's disease wasn't caused by anything you did, and there's nothing you could have done to prevent it.
Q: Why are girls more likely to have an autoimmune disease?
A: Researchers are still puzzling out why this group of illnesses so often tends to affect adolescent girls and young women, but many think that high levels of certain female hormones—which increase after puberty and through the childbearing years—may be playing a role.
Q: Why are there so many kinds of autoimmune diseases?
A: The immune system is designed to protect the entire body. When it malfunctions, it can attack virtually anywhere, from the skin to the joints to the blood vessels—which all respond in different ways and often require different treatment strategies.
Q: Can autoimmune disease be fatal?
A: In some cases, severe autoimmune diseases—especially those affecting the kidneys, lungs, blood vessels and other vital organs—can be fatal. Fortunately, though, these illnesses are very rare, and treatment is aimed at keeping these vital organs healthy. Infection is another potentially life-threatening problem for certain children; however, with the recognition of its signs and symptoms, appropriate treatment can be life-saving.
Q: Is there a test that can show which illness my child has?
A: There's no single test that can identify autoimmune disease. In addition, some lab tests—like rheumatoid factor, often used to help classify juvenile idiopathic arthritis—may give false positives or false negatives. This is why your child's doctor may use an array of tests, along with careful consideration of your child's symptoms and physical exam findings, in making a diagnosis.
Q: How are autoimmune diseases treated?
A: Broadly speaking, doctors prescribe medications that 1) fight the harmful inflammation caused by autoimmune attack and 2) suppress the overall immune system or block specific things that it's doing. Surgical therapies for autoimmune diseases are very rare.
Q: What kinds of doctors treat autoimmune disease?
A: Rheumatologists, who specialize in diseases of the joints and connective tissue, often diagnose autoimmune illnesses and tend to be at the center of the health care team. Depending on which tissues or organs are affected, other specialists—such as dermatologists (skin) and nephrologists (kidneys)—may be involved in caring for your child.
Boston Children's is so much more than a hospital—it's a community of researchers, clinicians, administrators, support staff, innovators, teachers, patients and families, all working together to make the impossible possible.

The commonly accepted Western model needs to be turned inside out if new airports are to successfully prove that they are a key infrastructure catalyst for cities and towns. There are many theories on urban engineering and many failures. However, there are several lessons to be learnt from new developments, particularly in Asia, and more recent experiences in urban regeneration have taught the industry important lessons on how to achieve the organic complexity of communities in shorter and more compressed time frames.
Passenger interchanges should be at the heart of a settlement with all the vitality and commercial activity they bring and not be detached pieces of infrastructure. They can complement or form the heart of the urban marketplace.
There can be a tendency to approach airport city design as a type of theme park, with disparate elements providing discrete parts of the need. This is not a sustainable approach. Just because you locate commercial, business or leisure elements next to an airport doesn't mean the creation of an airport city. A city, town or settlement needs to be multilayered with each attribute adding to the other parts.
The industry continues to strive towards a balance of the needs of the passenger, airline and airport. New technologies are also bringing opportunities to safely resolve the security and processing problems of opening up the airport environment. Secure design does not need to be exclusive and inhospitable. It can be naturally secure and still respond to the human scale and condition.
As we continue to hone airports in Europe to increase quality, efficiency and returns, we will be looking for innovations to meet investors' needs. We will benefit from looking at these ideas and, with new heart, refer to infrastructure systems emerging in Asia and Latin America. For over 25 years, North America and parts of Europe have suffered from a lack of strategic planning and infrastructure investment but the tide is now turning.
Countries such as India and China have recognised that infrastructure investment is fundamental to a healthy and increasingly affluent society. This investment can be delivered in the conventional way or can be considered in a truly sustainable development strategy and sustainable communities plan – similar to those that are now emerging in the UK from the original ideas of the 1990/91 Acts relating to a plan-led system.
If we are to have spatial planning working at all levels it must incorporate the transport infrastructure system, which is planned on a national then regional system with independent investment coming from both the private and public sectors.

A judge has ruled in favour of a Cardiff mother being freed after spending 15 months in prison on a Caribbean island.
Nicole Reyes, 37, denies killing her husband Jorge in a car and motorbike crash in the Dominican Republic in July last year.
Since then, she has remained behind bars on the island while she awaits trial – 4,000 miles away from her parents, children and new baby grandson at home in Rumney.
Nicole appeared in court in the Puerto Plata part of the island on October 3 for a Habeas Corpus hearing.
Her mother Jeannette Clements said one of the judges presiding over the hearing, the President of the Court of Appeals of Puerto Plata, ruled in favour of setting her free but that the other two judges disagreed.
An email sent by a Foreign and Commonwealth Office member of staff to Mrs Clements, seen by the Echo, confirmed this.
It read: "One of the judges of the court ruled in favour of setting Mrs Reyes free based on the illegality of her [being in] prison, but the two remaining judges did not, meaning that the majority vote which prevailed was to maintain Mrs Reyes in prison."
The majority decision taken by the other two judges, who as a trio make up the Court of Appeals of Puerto Plata, meant Nicole was ordered to remain in prison.
Jeannette said they are still waiting for the outcome of an appeal to move her case from Puerto Plata.
She claims her daughter has now been held illegally for three months after being locked behind bars for over 12 months without the offer of bail.
She said she is "disgusted" with the lack of help from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and has sent copies of the 2,000 signatures she has collected, which call for Nicole to have a fair trial, to Prime Minister David Cameron asking for advice on what she should do next to help her daughter.
A spokesman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said it was unable to confirm or deny details on the Habeas Corpus hearing.
But said: "We are aware that a British national, Nicole Reyes, was charged in July 2012 and has since been held in detention pending trial.
"We have been providing consular assistance to Mrs Reyes and her family since her detention and we continue to do so.
"We cannot interfere in the judicial process of another country, and must respect their systems just as we expect them to respect the UK's laws and legal processes. We are speaking with Ms Reyes' lawyers to ascertain if there is anything further that we can do to assist them."

Transmedia & Education: Some Thoughts
In an recent interview with Peter Gutierrez (@Peter_Gutierrez) about transmedia and education I suggest:
"Long before the terminology was introduced, teachers found that students often responded more deeply to fictional works by means of the film adaptation. Today we can tell stories—albeit differently—in many different media, powering a new form of 'comparative literature.'"
The quote ran in a post entitled "Every Platform Tells A Story: Transmedia Has the Power to Make Any Topic More Vivid and Personal," which ran in the School Library Journal's blog THE DIGITAL SHIFT.
Now Gutierrez has run a longer version of his interview with me called "Talking Transmedia" over on "Connect the Pop," his own blog at SLJ, in time to promote my appearance on Saturday at the WyrdCon convention on transmedia and related storytelling forms. (Thanks Peter!) Even though I'm not on the "transmedia and education" panel, this may be relevant.
I was struck by one of my quotes, which frankly I don't remember uttering:
We must assure that learning by digital natives doesn't stop at the door of the school or the library—in a sense, students are immersed in the process of discovery and learning 24/7. How do we harness their innate curiosity and their pervasive technical skills in service to learning? Put another way, how can we leverage young people's appetite for media consumption in service to fundamental learning objectives (what is a story? what are the building blocks of a story?). So how do modern storytelling models help students learn how to learn? —that's a skill that will transcend school and serve them throughout their lives.

Some celebs at DNC are there to support Bernie Sanders
The Democratic National Convention has attracted some high-wattage star power, with celebs like actresses Lena Dunham and Chloe Grace Moretz and singers Demi Lovato and Katy Perry on the docket, eager to support nominee Hillary Clinton. But some of the A-listers are in Philly to support Clinton's erstwhile rival Bernie Sanders.
Shailene Woodley, star of the locally filmed "Divergent" series films (the last of which is to be a television rather than a movie project), is there on the Bernie bandwagon.
So is Susan Sarandon, who posted this tweet from a Sanders speech:
A video journalist made a GIF of Sarandon shaking her head at someone else's speech, noting she was not having any of it. Sarandon later retweeted this with a one-word validation: "Accurate."
Danny Glover spoke at a Sanders rally in an area park:
Actress Rosario Dawson is seriously feeling the Bern – blasting Clinton during an address to Sanders delegates at a pre-event function on Sunday.
"Hillary Clinton, who I've said before, and I stand by, is not a leader, she's a follower," she said to a loud chorus of boos. "She follows public opinion on things."
The diverging celeb opinion mirrors the discordant note upon which the convention kicked off. Disgraced DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was forced to give up her ceremonial gavel and has announced her resignation from her party post, faced a loud and angry group of protesters during a gathering of her home-state delegation on Monday. They chanted "shame on you" as the congresswoman struggled to speak over the shouters, many of whom held signs that simply said "E-MAILS."
The protesters' signs were referencing a convention-eve data leak that showed party officials worked against Sanders during the primary season, when they were supposedly neutral.
From an Associated Press report:
The emails include several stinging denunciations of Sanders and his organization before and after the DNC briefly shut off his campaign's access to the party's key list of likely Democratic voters.
One exchange between DNC spokesman Luis Miranda and his deputy, Mark Paustenbach, shows them mulling whether the DNC should use the voter record furor to raise doubts about the Sanders campaign.
"Wondering if there's a good Bernie narrative for a story, which is that Bernie never had his act together, that his campaign was a mess," Paustenbach wrote.
Another email exchange shows a DNC operative suggesting a smear campaign over Sanders' religious beliefs: "Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps."

See season 2008-09 :: 2009-10 :: 2010-11 (last season) or a list of all past regatta.
Aoraki Dragons represents all the Dragon Boat teams in the South Island of NZ, and works hard to provide the equipment and systems to run the sport. For example, Aoraki buys (all but 3 of) the 16 Dragon Boats, and maintains them all, stores them and transports them to the training areas and racing events.
If you are interested in joining one of the many Dragon Boat teams, please email us. We'll see you right...
Here are some ways we are getting more and more people involved in our favourite activity - Dragon Boat paddling!
Corporate Give-It-A-Go Day,
Toward the end of November, Aoraki brings together several Business houses for a 'crash course' in Dragon Boating. The latest was at Lake Rua on Saturday 7-November-15 from 10 to 2 or so. Abreast of Life Dragon Boat team ran the event, as a fundraiser to help them get to Adelaide in April 2016 for the Club Crew World Champs. Teams had so much fun, they are looking forward to when they can do it again. See more here.
The package includes pre-race "on the water" paddle instruction and race training, culminating in an afternoon of fierce competition between rival corporate teams. We provide the Dragon Boats, paddles, buoyancy aids, qualified helms ("Sweeps"), instructors, safety boat and driver, Marshals, Results Officials, competitor safety briefing and race schedule.
In past years, for example Five new Corporate-based teams had a great introduction to Dragon Boating on Sunday 10-Nov-13. Great feedback, like: "you guys came across as a pretty slick operation (especially in dragon boat terms) and things ran like clockwork". It's always great to share the thrill of Dragon Boating!
Spring Festival on the Avon
Teams joined Aoraki at the Spring River Festival on Sat 2-Nov-13 at Kerr's Reach. Avonside Girls HS, Christchurch Girls HS and Ridge Riders put on a great display.
Racing included a race to determine the KING OF THE RIVER, contested between Dragon Boats, Waka Ama, Kayaks and Rowers. Our elimination series showed Ridge Riders were the team to represent Dragon boating. Ridge took line honours, thanks to a handicap system, but Kayaking were closing fast. In the spirit of the Collaboration that Aoraki need to be part of, the codes agreed to share the trophy this year. Once the racing finished, a selection of Dragon Boaters took a Champion downstream past the narrows under Avondale Bridge, to meet Tipu Tai Tama Voyaging Trust's ceremonial waka, for the transfer of the special Waka Huia downstream to Owles Terrace Pontoon, where it was taken by street parade into New Brighton.
'Moving the boat forward'
Here is what Aoraki are doing to grow the sport and generate opportunities for paddlers.
Growing teams
Aoraki have been rolling out programs to improve the exposure of Dragon Boating. In 2012 we started the Secondary Schools Challenge, which brought in six new High Schools. And we now have an annual Corporate Give-it-a-Go day (click the "get involved" tab above) where business houses spend a morning or a full day at Lake Rua or Lake Pegasus, as an intro to the sport.
Up-Skilling: Sweeps and Coaches
Aoraki has been running the NZDBA's Sweep Accreditation system since 2013, where we share the knowledge and skills with those who want to take up the 'Long Paddle'. This includes a mentoring system and supervision during training, and assessment to ensure we have all helmsmen/women singing off the same sheet.
Aoraki runs several Sweep School Sessions per season, generally in October. This season included a Wednesday theory session (with a short test) then two opportunities at Lake Pegasus to learn some skills, and be assessed by Rick and Russell, who represent Aoraki on the "NZDBA Sweep Control Group".. More...
We have started a Coach the Coaches system, so that experienced Dragon Boat coaches can exchange learnings and tips, and develop techniques for developing their paddlers.
And with NZDBA we are bringing training and accreditation systems for those who want to become race officials.
Building the facilities.
Aoraki is expanding the options for paddlers. For example we have a great relationship with CCC for making use of facilities at Owles Terrace, plus Lake Rua, where we have bought a 40 ft Container for keeping our training gear safe for our paddlers.
Providing the best equipment
In December 2015 Aoraki placed another order with Champion Boats to import two more IDBF Standard Dragon Boats from Dalian Water Sports in China.
At the same time we have bought three of the Champion Boats that Auckland DBA are replacing, so that Aoraki will have a full fleet of FIFTEEN of the Standard 20-paddler boats, so that we can run a super-efficient National Championships event.
Aoraki also carries stock of PFD Life Jackets, spare training and racing paddles as well as all the gear necessary to run top quality regattas, and a very full dragon boat season.
"Super 12" Boats are here!
Aoraki's fleet of boats now includes six fantastic Swift "Ten Man" boats. These are particularly useful as they allow a club to can carry on paddling when they can't muster a full team. They are also great for 'festival' type events sucha as the January Super 12, or for a start up team or demo). See Facebook for more pictures...
This supplements our main fleet of 10 Champion "Standard" sized Boats (aka "20-Man"). Whoops, make that 15 Champions!
Thanks to the generous funding from Southern Trust , Aoraki has been able to grow this fleet of Champion Boats so that we can have a full fleet of 15 boats for 2016 Nationals, and after the 2015-16 season we will start to 'retire' some of the boats to key growth areas (like Nelson and Greymouth).
Aoraki will make sure they are still available from those centers if we need them for major events such as Nationals.

Looking for a nidra yoga retreat in Arambol Beach? Nidra yoga holidays and breaks in Arambol Beach are easy to find with BookYogaRetreats.com. View all nidra yoga retreats in Arambol Beach and make a reservation quickly and easily.
The largest selection of handpicked vacations for every budget, with the friendliest customer care.
Arambol is a hip fishermen's village in Goa, popular amongst westerners since the 1960s. Its main attraction, Arambol Beach is maybe one of the most stunning in the area, with its long coastline, both rocky and sandy, and a picturesque lake nearby. On an Arambol yoga retreat, we recommend you to take advantage of the beach and do everything there. Delve into your yoga practice. Go paragliding. Have a healing Reiki session. And end your evening at a Reggae party. Do all of these straight on the beach and prepare to live the sweet life!
Busy moms often think it hard to take time out from their hectic schedule and get on the yoga mat. They believe so because yoga requires one to remain in peace, in spite of the chaotic surrounding. Practicing yoga also requires one not to be bothered by distractions.
While March saw the first signs of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, April is a bit of an awkward mix of temperatures. It's not yet hot enough to hit the pool but you don't have to wear too many layers either. Pack that waterproof jacket as it's quite certain it will rain. As for the Southern Hemisphere, autumn is at its most beautiful so grapes picking, and gorgeous foliage will make you pack your bags.
7 years ago, I began to travel around the world. My main purpose was to meet spiritual teachers and learn from them.
How I met most of them has always been through magical coincidences or as Carl Jung calls it, through Synchronicity…
Staying healthy is something we are all interested in, particularly after a certain age. Since exercise and diet are the one two key actions through which we can preserve our health, it's no wonder that any activity that combines both can become very popular.

In Response To: NEED HELP WITH SURNAMES GREEN/WRIGHT FROM GA. ()
Hola, Tonya!
I am not certain if this helps, but my LaGrone family lived next to and married into a Green family in Nettleton, MS (Tupelo,MS). Melissa LaGrone married a Green in MS. I believed that they moved to K.C., MO in the 30s or 40s. The LaGrones and Greens still relate in MS and in Grand Rapids, MICH. John Ira Smith and my cousin John T. LaGrone of Nettleton may know more of the Greens. Should be listed on the phone rolls.
Also, look at the name Green Flake (Flakes). The LaGrones and Greens probably relate in M, Georgia and throughout.
Good luck. Keep in touch if you know the surname LaGrone/Leggroan/Lagroom/etc.

Cameron Gay-Marriage Tactics Disdain Party, Tories Say
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron's handling of a vote on gay marriage showed disdain for his own supporters, some of his lawmakers say, questioning whether the premier is leading the Tory party in the right direction.
Cameron, 46, did not appear in the House of Commons during yesterday's debate on his plans to give same-sex couples the right to marry, skipping about 70 speeches by lawmakers over six hours. Instead, he used Twitter Inc.'s social networking site to welcome the preliminary vote in favor of the proposal, in which 136 of the 303 Tories opposed the premier.
Cameron's lack of involvement in the debate and the fact he scheduled the vote in the first place are signs he is out of touch with values held by the Conservatives' core supporters, say some lawmakers, openly questioning whether the premier's authority is waning as the party heads to elections in 2015.
"I do hope and I expect that as a bright man he will recognize the fact that there is a very strong sense of feeling within his own party that he's got to pay some attention to, and that there has to be change," Tory member of Parliament Roger Gale, 69, who opposed the gay-marriage proposal, told BBC Radio 4's "Today" program. "If he doesn't, he'll end up with a lot of disaffected people."
While Cameron gathered plaudits among his own lawmakers after pledging a referendum on the European Union last month, data the day after his speech showed the economy teetering on the edge of a triple-dip recession as the biggest budget cuts since World War II continue to bite. Opinion polls indicate the Tories are trailing the opposition Labour Party by about 10 percentage points nationwide.
'Labour Win'
Conservative activists say they fear gay marriage may cost the party enough votes to force it out of power in 2015, with the anti-European Union U.K. Independence Party picking up support.
"David Cameron has split the Conservative Party in half on gay marriage and failed to win a majority of Tory MPs," Tory lawmaker Stewart Jackson, another opponent of gay marriage, said on Twitter today. "Labour win."
Cameron only won the vote in the House of Commons in London last night by 400 to 175 with the support of Labour and his Liberal Democrat coalition partners. As it was a "free vote" in which lawmakers act according to their conscience, rather than on party lines, Cameron can technically say he did not face a rebellion.
The bill now moves on to detailed examination by a committee of the House of Commons. It may yet face defeat in the upper House of Lords or legal challenge from religious groups if it becomes law.
'Move On'
With yesterday's Commons debate over, other Tory lawmakers called for the party to put its divisions behind it and unite against the threat from Ed Miliband's Labour Party.
"If it was government business then this would be a significant rebellion, and I think it would've severely wounded the prime minister, but that is not the case," one lawmaker, Mark Pritchard, told BBC News television. "I think we now move on as a parliamentary party, as a party in the country and unite around the prime minister in joining him in trying to fix the economy."
One of his colleagues, Zac Goldsmith, said complaints about the premier not appearing in the House of Commons were out of place. The premier was meeting with U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden when the debate started.
"The PM went out on a limb to get equal marriage through, but -- absurdly -- he's still getting a kicking 'for not being in the chamber,"' Goldsmith said on Twitter. "Really?!"
Eastleigh Test
The Tories will face an electoral test in local votes across England in May, and they started campaigning today for a forthcoming special parliamentary election in the southern district of Eastleigh, in which they'll go head-to-head with their coalition partners. The date for the vote hasn't been set.
The seat became vacant when former Energy Secretary Chris Huhne, who held it for the Liberal Democrats, quit the Commons this week after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice over a speeding offense.
Tory Chairman Grant Shapps, who's in charge of campaigning, was cited as telling the Daily Telegraph newspaper that voters in Eastleigh have "been let down by an MP who was being less than straightforward with his constituents".

Abstract: Aiming the usage of Domain Ontology as an educational tool for neophyte students and focusing in a fast and easy way to start Domain Ontology from scratch, the semantics are set aside to identify contexts of concepts (terms) to build the ontology. Text Mining, Link Analysis and Graph Analysis create an abstract rough sketch of interactions between terms. This first rough sketch is presented to the expert providing insights into and inspires him to inform or communicate knowledge, through assertive sentences. Those assertive sentences subsidize the creation of the ontology. A web prototype tool to visualize the ontology and retrieve book contents is also presented.

That way it doesn't matter via what name the device is referenced; it's the major and minor numbers that are important here.

Growing up on Australia's North South Wales south coast, Owen ("Owe") has been spoiled with perfect reef barrels and punchy beach breaks. Owen really made an impact on Hawaii's North Shore when he was only 14, surfing a day at 3rd reef Pipeline and scoring some huge heaving Pipe barrels. His style is smooth and tight in the pocket with a handbook of aerial maneuvers. Owen loves nothing more than floating above the lip, but is just as happy in big meaty barrels. One of the most focused and driven individuals the sport of surfing has ever seen, he has always maintained a down-to-earth attitude about life and his career. About.com's Surfing Guide said of Owen, "His repertoire is blindingly futuristic. Giant airs and no-grab spins through and above the lip make for stunning moments in both free surfing and in heats. But where speed and creativity are his obvious strengths, he also possesses an innate sense for tube riding."
There are no products matching the selection.
Living Marley is about seeing the looks on groms faces when I paddle up after one of their waves and say "sick turn" or help them at an event. Its about staying grounded when the world is crazy around you and being humble, present and in the moment.
I weave music into my life as a way to tap into different motivations. Sometimes its hard rock to get really pumped or Reggea to feel happy and light or other mellow music to get introspective…Its always changing and that keeps me inspired.

Investors are wary of taking positions in emerging markets before European Central Bank policy makers meet in Frankfurt tomorrow, Nordea Bank AB's Aurelija Augulyte said.

Currency Reserves

I've been working on some background changes to the site – I increased bandwidth quite a bit, I've worked on a new template, and I've put together a new (much faster) server to host the blog.
I'm not quite ready to flip the switch over to the new site – mostly because I am not yet confident in my ability to replicate a MySQL database between servers. It's still a work in progress – but it's close to completion.
My current goal is to finish the SQL scripting tomorrow, then move to the new server on Thursday/Friday. I imagine I'll screw something up and it'll take me a day longer than it should 🙂
So right now I plan on having the server down for two days this week – THU and FRI, hopefully coming back up late Friday. Don't freak out if I'm down longer – it doesn't mean I've quit blogging – it means I should quit being my own IT department!

Mixed Feelings here
This was kind of depressing really the ending wasn't very good but on the plus side it was so random and hilarious that it probably doesn't matter a whole lot.
Why are people angry?
This was a perfect ending.
Thank you.
My heart aches =(
I have followed this series for 4 years and i loved it.but this ending is not even worthy to be part of the series.Whatever happened when you left destroyed the possibilty of a epic series
pretty good
not as good as your other ones though. there were some really good jokes,but not a great ending.
Don't let those last two hopeful reviews-
make you feel good. This last one was shit pudding compared to the original episodes. (Yes, original episodes. For YOUR sake, I will not consider this a part of the series. That means the last episode still has to be made properly).

Mad Men always gave an artistic touch to most episode. But in this one, they failed miserably trying to make it look like a Woody Allen movie. Characters evolving into something different is artistic and lends a bit of class to the entire story, but it looks stupid when they put on a random face picked out of the blue. The trials and tribulations of Don is a widely used motif in the show. In here, he out of nowhere changes his mind to let Gene stay in his house. I, in fact can put up with Betty Draper's tantrums, though she seems to be the most annoying face of the show. However, ever since the third season has started, she is going crazy.
All storylines, right from Roger getting chucked out of his daughter's wedding to Pryce dropping the ball on Madison Square to Don contemplating on cheating again, seemed so random. I am not looking to connect the dots, and all I can do is to feel sorry for the show for wasting 45-odd minutes.
Peggy Olson has a revelation, and she ends up hooking up with college student. Her actions of trying to be like the men are getting stale. Final word. Average episode.

GWS Giants midfielder Toby Greene has been charged with assault with a weapon following a nightclub incident in Melbourne on Monday night.
Victoria Police laid charges of assault by kicking, assault with a weapon, assault in company, intentionally causing serious injury and unlawful assault on the 20-year-old from the Sydney suburb of Rozelle. A 19-year-old from Malvern was also charged with similar offences. The two men have been bailed to appear in Melbourne's Magistrates Court on 25 September.
The Giants said they were aware that Greene had been charged by police in relation to the incident. "The club is taking the matter very seriously and has no further comment to make at this stage," GWS said in a statement.
The Giants have the bye this weekend and gave their players leave following their heavy loss to West Coast in Perth on Sunday night. Greene has played 45 matches for GWS since being selected with pick 11 in the 2011 draft. He won the Giants' best first-year player award in their foundation season in 2012.

After securing the Railbelt Conference title last week, the Juneau-Douglas High School football team faces hungry West Valley tonight.
The junior varsity kicks off at 5 p.m., while the varsity starts at 8 p.m. tonight at Adair-Kennedy Memorial Park.
The Crimson Bears (6-0, 5-0 Railbelt) have already locked up the conference title and a first-round home playoff game. The Wolfpack (2-4, 2-2) find themselves battling for a post-season position.
West Valley has beaten Lathrop and Wasilla this season - its first Railbelt victories since 2003 - and boasts a very sound running game.
The Wolfpack are led on the ground by workhorse Dustin Baxter.
The junior is accustomed to shouldering the load and toted the rock an astounding 38 times for 199 yards in the 21-14 win over Wasilla in Week 2.
Quarterback Duane Aamot can also run and scored the game-winning touchdown in a 19-13 win over Lathrop.
The Wolfpack aren't a scoring machine, averaging 11.3 points per game, but play sound, fundamental football.
They will try to grind it out on the ground, save field position and control time of possession. West Valley will also play with a lot of emotion, as it looks to seal up a playoff spot.
Juneau-Douglas will look to continue its offensive explosion.
The Crimson Bears, averaging 45 points per game, are led by junior quarterback Chris Hinkley.
The junior has completed 87-of-136 passes this season, good for a .640 completion percentage, 1,437 yards, 20 touchdowns and four interceptions.
A real key to the Bears' success, however, has been the play of the offensive line.
Left tackle Will Tonsgard, left guard Alex Robinson, center Donny Peterson, right guard Justin Behrends and right tackle Joe Monagle have been stellar.
Hinkley has rarely come under pressure this season while the running game always seems to find a couple yards, which serves as a tribute to the men in the trenches.
All the other Juneau-Douglas teams will be on the road this weekend.
The JDHS swimming and diving team starts the most grueling part of their schedule this weekend with a two-day meet in Petersburg.
The Crimson Bears will bring 17 athletes for the two-day Southeast meet.
Three divers will be making their Juneau-Douglas debut this weekend as former state qualifier Tanya Trucano will join sophomore Hanna Davis and freshman Nathan Teal in the 1-meter springboard event.
In the pool, Erika O'Sullivan, Jenna Rutecki, Annie Choate and Linzie Norman will be making the trip to compete against some of Southeast's best.
After this weekend, the Crimson Bears' schedule heats up with trips to Cordova and Anchorage before making their home debut on Oct. 7.
The JDHS volleyball team (7-1) returns to Southeast Conference play with a two games at Sitka.
Fresh off a three-day barnstorming tour of Washington state last weekend, the Crimson Bears will look to improve upon their quick-strike offense against the Wolves.
The cross country team heads off to Ketchikan this weekend.
The Crimson Bears' varsity team spent last weekend in town working with track and field coach Scott May while the junior varsity boys and girls teams won the Wrangell Invitational last weekend.

Why the Sharks need Smit
- 19 Apr 2013
In his first fortnightly column for SARugbymag.co.za, former Springbok hooker JOHN ALLAN says John Smit's appointment as CEO will revilatise the Sharks brand.
As a former member of the twilight zone (tight five) it was great news to read that a fellow hooker would be taking over as Sharks CEO.
John Smit is definitely the right man for the job. People may wonder why he would accept this job when the world is his oyster, and the answer is because he is a passionate rugby man who loves the game that gave him so much joy. Now he can return the favour.
So why do the Sharks need him now?
Their current CEO, Brian van Zyl, has hit retirement age. He has been at the helm for 20 years and has become stale. The Sharks have lost their jersey sponsor for the team and the stadium (Mr Price), which is a huge amount of money to lose, especially in the current economy. The number of Sharks' season-ticket holders is also at an all-time low even though the team is performing well on the field.
The Sharks need new blood in the form of a World Cup-winning captain and the most successful Springbok captain ever, but more importantly, Smit is a top person with character traits that endear him to both young and old, and people from all communities.
When Smit walks into a boardroom to sell the Sharks brand, he will do so with confidence and will make such a powerful argument that the corporates will want to tie their brand in with the Sharks and will know that they are in good hands.
The supporters, who are the rock on which the Sharks brand is built, will know they have a person who is not only a great leader but who will listen to their concerns and wishes. I foresee a marked increase in season ticket and private suite holders.
The players won't be able to pull the wool over Smit's eyes as he spent 15 years playing for the Sharks and will know exactly what is going on in their heads (well, most of them, the backs can be very weird sometimes). Smit also has the respect of the whole rugby world and will be able to attract the world's best players to the Sharks.
Great rugby unions are not only judged on the performance of their professional team but also whether their club and schoolboy rugby is healthy, and whether they have a sustainable transformation and development programme. A union must ensure that it is nurturing grassroots rugby – the base for future players and supporters – create passion early and nourish it. Smit understands all of these components and will work with his management team both in the professional Sharks (Pty) Ltd and amateur KwaZulu-Natal Rugby Union to bring these components to fruition.
One might argue that he has no business experience, but I can assure you that when you captain a Springbok team you become very savvy in the art of discussion, delegation, and organisational and people skills. More importantly, due to his friendly and amicable nature he has built up an army of good business friends who will be more than willing to guide and support him.
I foresee a purple patch for the Sharks brand with Smit at the helm.

Each week our team of writers compiles the most memorable moments in reality TV. Enjoy, and don't forget to vote in this week's POLL
Stupid Tosser.
Bo Bice and Carrie Underwood were all poised ready to see who would sing first or second on the final performance show of this seasons American Idol.
Instead of a sudden death rock, paper, scissors, Ryan unveiled a specially minted coin with Carries image on one side and Bos on the other.
Ryan threw the coin, flubbed the catch and watched as the coin hit the ground and roll into a never before seen grate in the floor that he had positioned himself behind, obviously tempting fate and praying for a hilarious result.
We watched as Ryan furiously pawed at the grate in a bid to retrieve the coin all the while pulling a none-too convincing shocked expression. Eventually a crack team of mystery men arrived to help the feeble host with the grate and return the coin to him following this unfortunate accident.
Good job they give Walk Of Fame stars for personality Ryan, youd have a long wait to earn one for acting.
Lets Talk About Sex Again...and Again...and Again.
We were introduced to Kevin this week, Brittneys now husband, on Britney and Kevin: Chaotic.It really wasnt worth the wait.
Grotty and grungy-looking Kevin fell instantly in step with Britney and her penchant for mentioning sex whenever possible, even though the thought of these two great unwashed going at it could hardly be a turn on for even the most potent young teenager.
Kevins ease around Britney and her entourage nearly became his downfall though when he got too lippy in front of her large bodyguard, who proceeded to sit on him until he promised to behave. If this dire show continues, hopefully well see Kevin on the losing end of more face-offs with the body guard and less sex talk before we all have to take our TVs for treatment at the STD clinic.
It's Official, Somebody Somewhere Hates Babyface.
It was a first for American Idol, the top 12 contestants got to sing with their Idols and Babyface suffered the severest punishment known to man.
He either drew the short straw or is paying penance for some deadly deed that his lovely face makes it impossible to believe he could have committed, but Babyface was somehow teamed with the Mikalah and Lindsey for a rendition of a barely recognizable song on Wednesdays AI4 finale.
He gamely smiled throughout the performance, sandwiched between the attractive young women and even managed to stay in tune and on pitch despite their distracting caterwauling.
Dont fear a repeat of the dreadful duet concertgoers, Mikalah and Lindseys 11th and 12th place finishes means they dont get to tour with the rest of the finalists this summer.
Should AI producers intend to unleash a celebrity/contestant medley on us in the future lets hope any contestants of Lindsey and Mikalahs standards get to la la la along with Kenny G.
King Cobra.
The Contender finished its run this week with the title and $1m payday going to Latin Snake Sergio Mora. Despite losing his cool and trash-talking with opponent Peter Manfredos corner during the fight, Sergio regained his composure and went on to score a unanimous points victory to round out the critically acclaimed but under-promoted series.
NBC has confirmed that there will be no second series, so now seems the perfect time to praise the dedication of all the athletes who took part and thank them for weeks of solid entertainment.
As a thank you for all her hard work raising him and his siblings, Sergio intends to use his purse to see to it that his mother never has to work again.
Taxes will take a large bite out of his check, but there is enough left that Mrs. Mora should be able to relax and put her feet up for a while courtesy of her talented son.
There is Crying About Baseball
Boston Rob may have been able to wisecrack his way through two versions of Survivor and one of The Amazing Race, but he was completely undone by Amber's surprise wedding present of a painting of the Red Sox World Series victory during CBS's "special" presentation of Rob and Amber Get Married. Mind you, it wasn't his first reaction when she revealed the gift. First, he dwelled on the fact that Amber had been to Spring Training where he'd never been in order to get the painting autographed by some of the players. Once he got over that, he blubbered like a baby. Amber must have felt hauling that big ass and somewhat less than tasteful painting from the artist's studio to a shipping place and around Fort Myers with her sister was well worth the trouble. Her man greatly appreciated that she was williing to have a Red Sox shrine dominate one wall of the new home he and some friends personally decorated for her. He's probably already worn out the videotape of the players signing the painting where they showed delight when they learned who it was for.
Stand By Your Judge
You'd have to be living under a rock to have avoided the contraversy surrounding American Idol judge and former contestent and current has-been, Corey Clark. Rather than go with the standard boring filler, the American Idol producers got creative on the finale and opted for a skit, satirizing the ABC Primetime Expose that launched the controversy. In it, Randy starred as the one time contestant, mocking the pitches for the CD and book that Clark tried to sell in each of his many appearances. Corey Clark may not have found the humor in it, but the American Idol producers are clearly not afraid to show they support their favorite airhead.
Someone Forgot To Invite "Tacky".
Only one dress instead of two, no million dollar shoes, no thousands of dollars worth of flowers, no baby talk and no pink and more pink and more pink.
What the hell kind of reality TV wedding was it?
On Rob and Amber Get Married, our now favourite multiple show reality TV couple wed in tasteful style.
The bride wore a beautiful, understated dress, made a by a family friend in her hometown. The bridesmaids echoed the ocean of the beach wedding setting in beautiful teal and the groom and his buddies looked cool, casual, yet still coordinated in unmatched outfits in various cream, tan and beige combinations.
Rob and Amber showed that getting your wedding paid for by a network is no excuse to go ostentatious and mercifully didnt Tristafy their nuptials.
Congratulations Romber, you did it with class and thanks to you viewers might even be able to stomach a future televised reality wedding ceremony.
Well, depending on who it is. . . so don't go getting any ideas Morasca.
Many thanks to the writers that contributed this week. In alphabetical order, Fluff, Mariner & Miss Filangi

Fulham - Harsh But True!
Not having the financial muscle, anymore, to follow Fulham all that often on the road, I tend to follow games via the excellent BBC Radio feed.
Often, even when I`ve been to a home game I`ll tune in the PC to the site to see what comments have been left.
Quite often they are of a humorous nature as supporters across the country lament a poor performance given by their team, yesterday though, I was a little saddened by a few posts left by disgruntled Liverpool supporters.
Smacking of arrogance they implied that they knew their side was in trouble when even Bobby Zamora got to score against them!
Perhaps, they should have a simple reality check and look at their bench yesterday! The names on it suggested to me, straight away, that although Steven Gerrard and the rest of them harp on about winning a Premier League title, that bench doesn`t hold a candle to those teams that will go on and really contest the title!
Get my drift?

After seeing everyone else's DIY projects I figured I need to get on the ball! Here are some of my projects so far:
Wedding Shoes:
I bought some simple white wedges from JCrew when they were on sale for $12. I decided to add some style so I bought some blue capiz shells from a seller on Etsy and some white pearl-like beads from Michaels. The straps were wider than I pictured so I ended up with two rows of beads on each one, but I like how they turned out!
Survival Kit chapsticks:
After seeing Chelymo's chapsticks, I had to make some of my own! I bought the chapstick at the Dollar Tree (2 for $1) and measured the labels. Then I made a template using Microsoft Publisher and printed it out on sticker paper from Staples. I love them!
Welcome Books:
Again, I used Publisher to make a template. I included a letter to our guests, Schedule of Events, Resort Information like bars and restaurants and a map, Meet the Guests including where they're from and how they know my FI and I, and finally some Spanish Basics. The pictures are of the rough copy, I just wanted to see how it'd come together. I still have to buy a mini hole punch!
Some of my DIY projects so far...
