Skip to comments.All Hail: Sharpton's Creepy Obama Image
Posted on 02/06/2013 6:30:40 PM PST by chessplayer
Have a look at the image of President Obama that Al Sharpton repeatedly displayed during a segment of his MSNBC show this evening on the theme that the Obama agenda on immigration and gun control is gaining traction.
It shows a stern-faced President Obama superimposed against the backdrop of a massive crowd. At one point, Sharpton displayed a graphic reading "Taking Control."
This is getting very creepy. Keep you powder dry patriots.
Sharkey is lookin rather emaciated these days.
He been ridin dirty with Jesse Jackson or sumpin?
Any shots of the "taking control" graphic?
The one shown is not that alarming for the typical low info voter.
All Hail double oh 44!
Assuming there is no copyright issue, here ya go:
Obama is creepy in all of his pictures. Weird looking person to me.
Sharpton looks like he has AIDS...
His head doesn't look like it fits his body either.
Looking for the "taking control" pics now...
Follow Il Douche Forward to the Great Transformation.
The sneerful Il Douche does have a striking resemblance to the arrogant poseur Mussolini, but without Il Duce's sense of style and manliness.
Every day I still wonder how that POS EVER became President! I really, really, REALLY despise him!!
Voter fraud and a communist propaganda machine posing as our impartial main stream media.
Sharpton doesn't have AIDS because that kind of luck doesn't exist.
Which is why I'll compare him to woman.
On the bright side I am likely to outlive Sharpton, Jackson, and Farrakhan. That ain't luck, its odds.
It shows a stern-faced President Obama superimposed against the backdrop of a massive crowd. At one point, Sharpton displayed a graphic reading "Taking Control."
Daniel 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
Or as the NIV has it,
"In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a stern-faced king, a master of intrigue, will arise.
Stern-faced king = melek az-panim:
Az-panim is literally "strong of face" (or even metaphorically "goat-faced" if you investigate the etymology a bit), but more importantly, it is idiomatic Hebrew meaning "insolent, brazen", which naturally leads us to
Definition of AUDACIOUS
a: intrepidly daring : adventurous
b: recklessly bold : rash
2: contemptuous of law, religion, or decorum : insolent
3: marked by originality and verve
Synonyms: arch, nervy, bold, bold-faced, brash, brassbound, brassy, brazen, brazen-faced, cheeky, cocksure, cocky, fresh, impertinent, impudent, insolent, sassy, saucy, wise
>>contemptuous of decorum<<
looks like a good description of flies that would land on a person's face. No wonder they would be attracted to a face of like disposition.
One other thing kind of stands out [in the verse]. The KJV "dark sentences" and the NIVs "intrigue" are chidot (riddles, puzzles, enigmas). A good example of use is in Judges 14.
The POSOTUS sure seems to enjoy word games because he is constantly twisting and debasing the language to deceive anyone who desires to be fooled. It started with hope and change...
Very interesting word/scripture research. Fits well.
(The image is of Evita Peron.)
What is it with people who want a dictator? A dick-tator like obama? It's extremely disconcerting.
Yop! WELL DONE!
Photoshop is a wonderful thing!
"All Hail Plankton!"
Il Douche and Mooschellini...
Before Hope and Change, there was The Audacity of Hope...
It will be different this time.
(That's what they say every time)...

The X Factor judge Simon Cowell talks headphones, Twitter and his favorite app at a X Factor bash in Hollywood with Jefferson Graham.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Simon Cowell, creator of Fox's The X Factor, has teamed with Sony on a line of high-end Sony X $299 headphones, which were unveiled at a party here Thursday night. We took the opportunity to catch up with Cowell and talk tech.
Talkin' headphones
"Sony said they wanted to develop a range of headphones that could be better than everyone else's, and did I want to get involved? Over a few months, they brought in some test headphones, and they were sensational. I got involved with the design of the X and it's been amazing. I have really sensitive ears. You want something that's comfortable, nothing too harsh, and they just work."
The tech of The X Factor
Texting turned 20 years old this year — a practice popularized by Cowell's previous show, American Idol. "Texting is paramount. When I first started Idol, there was no Twitter, no Facebook and those two changed everything. We used to worry about what the critics say. Now, we go on the Twitter page to see what's really going on out there. You can change a show on a dime because of that. It's harsh, but a much better world to make shows in."
Reality star Khloe Kardashian talks Twitter, headphones and her beloved Blackberry at a X Factor/Sony headphone bash in Hollywood.
Live tweeting
Viewers love to tweet while watching The X Factor. His take? "I love it. It means they're interested and want to be a part of it. Going forward, you'll see much more integration with that kind of thing in the show."
His tweets
Cowell has 5.2 million followers, and likes to "just say whatever's on my mind. I have a couple of drinks, it all comes out. I can wake up in the morning and say, 'Oh, my God, what did I say last night?' But that's the fun of it."
X Factor host Mario Lopez talks headphones and social media at a X Factor/Sony headphone bash in Hollywood.
Who he follows on Twitter
"I follow people who follow me. I try and follow maybe 100 new people every week."

Experience the history of the second of the famous debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas. Its was at this site on August 27, 1858 that the Freeport Doctrine, an important statement regarding slavery and state's rights, was proclaimed by Douglas. Although Douglas won the Senatorial campaign for which the debate was held, his statements lost him the support of the South and split the Democratic Party. This enabled Lincoln to win the Presidency in 1860, thus precipitating the Civil War. The site is self-interpretive through a series of waysides that tell of the events and ideas which led up to the debates, and also includes a boulder and plaque dedicated by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903, as well as the life-size statues "Lincoln and Douglas in Debate" by artist Lily Tolpo which was dedicated in 1992.

The Emery County School District met for their November meeting in Green River. Their first item of business was to name Steven Gordon as the head baseball coach for Emery and Dean Stilson as the assistant baseball coach.
The automotive team has requested to travel to an automotive contest in New Mexico. The contest is on Nov. 20 and the automotive team placed second there last year. There are six participants going. Superintendent Kirk Sitterud informed the school board of the death of one of the employees at Emery High. Ruth Pollaehne was a library aide and also the mother of Andy Pollaehne a teacher at Canyon View Junior High. "We wish to extend our sympathies to the family," said Superintendent Sitterud.
He also reported that during American Education Week, they wish to recognize the support staff and acknowledge the fact that to a great extent the district owes their success to them.
Superintendent Sitterud said for a long time the school districts have been lobbying to get the funding formula changed for forest service lands. The school district only receives a very small amount each year from the forest service. This year the amount was $13,151. The school district recently found out the Secure Rural Schools was funded at a higher level and it came through on the federal bail out bill. The county had to make a decision on how to receive the money. The school districts amount they will receive will be $160,000 and this amount will go down over time. For the next four years it is funded.
Another worry for school districts comes with the Utah legislature replacing $74 million in ongoing monies and making them one time money only. The legislators are still dealing with the shortfall, but the increase in the Secure Rural Schools money will be a big help if cuts are made elsewhere.
Superintendent Sitterud said a board position is open for Region 12 on the Utah High School Athletics Association if anyone is interested.
The legislative committee for the state board of education has been asked to look at 3 percent cuts and to make recommendations of where those cuts could be made. Superintendent Sitterud is on that board and he doesn't think any recommendations for cuts should be made. Education has been told it would be held harmless and if you recommend cuts then you will surely get them. The state has cut taxes in some areas and maybe some of those need to be reinstated.
Several projects are funded with one time monies. Some of these can be cut and if the economy improves then they can be reinstated. The bonus compensation money will go away and some other programs which were listed as three year programs will fund the first year and the other two years will be cut out, this includes the preschool computer program. The math/science teachers enhancement monies might also be out.
This legislative committee is also looking for a sponsor for a resolution which focuses on the fact that local school officials should be allowed to make more decisions at a local level.
Nolan Johnson is the principal of Green River High and he said he appreciates the support that Green River receives from the school board with the challenges that come up in Green River. Johnson had been to a meeting up state for the UHSAA and reports there were the governor wanted to look at a 10 percent cut in education.
The personnel make up the greatest portion of the school district's budget, but no cuts can be made in teachers salaries. Other solutions might include, cutting people, and class size could grow. "It could be a tough year," said Sitterud.
The board members were invited to attend the Utah School Board Association conference. Royd Hatt, board member has 20 years of service as a school board member and will be honored at the conference.
Business Administrator, Jared Black said they weren't looking at any bonuses this year, but there was some money that wasn't used from last year and each teacher will receive an extra $125 in November, one time money.
The property by the Canyon View Junior high will become school district property and a signed agreement is in place. The arrangements for that sale with the title and everything will be completed by Black.

Guangzhou – The much-anticipated Cadillac ATS compact luxury sports sedan was launched today in China at Auto Guangzhou 2013.
The imported model is available in four trim levels along with five exterior and two interior color options. It is priced from RMB 308,000 to RMB 438,000, and is available with flexible financing.
"The ATS incorporates Cadillac's latest achievements in design and technology," said Shanghai GM President Wang Xiaoqiu during today's launch ceremony. "It is visually stunning and extremely maneuverable, breathing new life into its segment."
He added, "The ATS complements the rest of our Cadillac lineup, which includes the XTS and SRX. It will further accelerate the luxury brand's growth in China."
ATS: Sporty, Agile and Engaging
Powered by a 2.0L turbocharged SIDI engine, one of Ward's 10 Best Engines for 2013, the ATS delivers class-leading performance. The engine generates maximum power of 203 kW, peak torque of 353 Nm and impressive power per liter of 101.5 kW. This enables the ATS to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds.
The ATS has a wide range of features usually found in race cars. They include Brembo brakes across the entire ATS range, a ZF rear mechanical limited slip differential, 18-inch aluminum alloy wheel hubs and Bridgestone high-performance run-flat tires.
From the beginning of the design process, Cadillac engineers focused on creating a model that would be lighter than any other car in its class. The ATS weighs 1,550 kg and has a near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Lines and curves designed to minimize wind resistance, coupled with a large fairing at the bottom of the car body, give it exceptional aerodynamic performance. The active air intake grille shuts automatically when the car reaches a speed of over 60 km/h, reducing drag.
The ATS is fitted with third-generation Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) to deliver a more addictive driving experience. The suspension adjusts to changing surfaces up to 1,000 times per second to help maintain tire traction and a comfortable ride. A tap-shift control and five driving modes maximize driving pleasure.
Engineers made the interior a priority as well. Bose Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) works with the phase reversal of the in-car audio system to help neutralize unwanted engine noise. Together with AudioPilot noise compensation technology, it transforms the car into a haven for music enjoyment. Bose Centerpoint surround technology with 10 speakers allows for an immersive surround-sound experience even during aggressive driving.
The ATS provides a high level of safety for occupants. A mix of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel gives the ATS a rigid body structure. Ten air bags are being offered for the first time in its segment. The industry-leading Enhanced Safety Strategy (ESS) II package incorporates advanced safety features such as collision-avoiding automatic braking and full-speed range adaptive cruise control.
ATS: Stylish, Dynamic and Individualized
The ATS has distinctive styling and a strong dynamic feel, which are in tune with the desire of young car buyers to express their personality.
The profile incorporates Cadillac's signature design language, with body lines that are designed to maximize air flow, speed and aerodynamic performance. Short front and rear overhangs give the car perfect rear-wheel-drive proportions and exude a sense of mobility. Other prominent features are lines that run the length of the body, shield badges in the front and rear, daytime running lights, vertical LED taillights, a V-shaped center high-mounted stop light, xenon headlights with Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) and 10-spoke tapered wheel hubs.
The sweeping lines continue inside. The interior has an abundance of youth-oriented design elements. They include a thick-rimmed, three-spoke steering wheel, aluminum door sills, bolstered performance seats, a frameless rearview mirror, and sculpted metal accents and door handles.
Like all Cadillacs, the ATS has premium materials and craftsmanship. The center console is fully wrapped in leather. Soft leather is applied to areas that may come in contact with knees and elbows. The cut-and-sew master craftsmanship throughout the interior is both artistic and luxurious.
The ATS has adopted trendsetting advanced technologies. The Cadillac User Experience (CUE), OnStar, the MyCadillac app and the vehicle remote monitoring system enable seamless real-time connections between the user, the Internet and mobile phones for a new level of interactive connectivity.
The CUE system has an 8.0-inch display, a 5.7-inch configurable instrument cluster and a full-color head-up display. Multi-touch technology, inductive proximity sensors, tactile feedback, five-way controls on the steering wheel and voice recognition make the technologies user friendly.
Since its launch, the ATS has received several important awards, including 2013 North American Car of the Year, the 2013 Red Dot Design Award, Esquire's Car of the Year and Popular Mechanics' 2013 Automotive Excellence Award.
General Motors traces its roots back to 1908. GM has 11 joint ventures, two wholly owned foreign enterprises and more than 58,000 employees in China. GM and its joint ventures offer the broadest lineup of vehicles and brands among automakers in China. Passenger cars and commercial vehicles are sold under the Baojun, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Jiefang, and Wuling brands. In 2014, GM sold more than 3.5 million vehicles in China.

Agilent Technologies' SystemVue Software Selected by Télécom ParisTech for 3G/4G Transmitter Research
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 28, 2012
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that Télécom ParisTech, one of France's leading graduate engineering schools, has selected the company's SystemVue software for use in analog and mixed integrated systems research. The electronic system-level software will play a critical role in the university's ongoing investigations and enable a much more predictive system-level design methodology.
Télécom ParisTech's integrated systems research is being led by the Communication & Circuit System group and focuses on the optimization of a base-station transmitter. The objective of the study is to correctly define the specifications of the transmitter's analog-to-digital converter, a key component of the amplifier predistortion loop. Agilent's SystemVue aides in this research by accurately modeling the A/D converter together with the baseband and RF parts of the base-station transmitter to reproduce the component's actual operating conditions.
Because the SystemVue software is specifically designed to reduce the design and verification time of communication systems, it will allow the Communication & Circuit System group to develop its system architectures more accurately and quickly. The software provides complete physical-layer libraries for the most advanced communication standards such as 3GPP LTE and the recent versions of 3GPP WCDMA, among others. System designers can use library models to verify the performance of one or more of their design's functional blocks with standards-compliant waveforms.
"SystemVue allows us to use multiband 3GPP WCDMA signals to evaluate the specification of our A/D converter," said Germain Pham, system architect with Télécom ParisTech. "Thanks to its built-in digital predistortion algorithms, SystemVue also lets us emulate the performance of the entire power amplifier predistortion loop. As a result, we are now able to accurately dimension our A/D converter so that it meets system-level specifications."
"Agilent is pleased to enable leading wireless researchers like those at Télécom ParisTech to move forward in meeting their study objectives," said Riccardo Giacometti, application engineer with Agilent. "Because the university's application crosses the boundary between the analog and signal-processing domains, researchers have chosen SystemVue to provide the system-level insight they need to achieve the next-generation performance they're after."
For more information on SystemVue, go to www.agilent.com/find/eesof-systemvue, or contact a local Agilent representative. A free evaluation of the software is available at www.agilent.com/find/eesof-systemvue-evaluation.

All weights pertaining to gemstones, including diamonds, are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Zircon often suffers for its name's similarity to "cubic zirconia," the simulated diamond. The stone zircon, however, is actually a beautiful natural gemstone. It is named from the Persian word "zargun," meaning "gold-colored." This is despite the fact that it comes in a wide range of rainbow colors . The majority of zircons are brown or yellow-brown, while pure red and green are the most valuable colors. The yellow-red to reddish-brown variety is called "hyacinth."
For many years, the most popular type of zircon was the colorless variety. More than any other natural stone, colorless zircons produce a brilliant sparkle similar to diamonds . The most popular color today tends to be the bright pastel blue variety. Sometimes called "starlite," blue zircon has recently become considered an alternative birthstone for December.
Zircon is one of the heaviest gemstones, meaning that it will look smaller than other varieties of the same weight. It ranks a hardness between 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is mined in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar and Australia.
Travelers during the 11th century wore zircon amulets for protection and to encourage welcome greetings on their journeys. In the Middle Ages, the stone was said to bring wisdom and prosperity to its owner. Hindu mythology even mentions the gem when referencing the Kalpa Tree, which was a glowing tree covered with gemstone fruit and leaves of zircon.
Chrome Diopside:
Chrome diopside, also called Russian diopside, offers an intense forest green color. Because it is the most affordable gemstone with a pure, rich green color, many jewelry designers predict chrome diopside will be the world's leading emerald substitute by the end of the decade. It is mostly available in smaller sizes, with the rare larger sizes becoming much more expensive and too dark. A 26.17ct oval cut chrome diopside may be the largest known example of the faceted stone, but there is also a 25.33ct stone that is brighter and more intense in color.
Chrome diopside is relatively soft, with a hardness of 5.5 on the Mohs Scale. Mostly mined in Yakutia and Siberia, the liberalization of the former Soviet Union's economy has made chrome diopside more available, and more popular, than ever before.

(St. Joseph, Mo.) Four-year-old Brody Fuller is now able to laugh and play with his older brother and sister like any other child his age.
It wasn't always that way. At just 13-months old, Fuller was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. At his yearly wellness check, Fuller's doctor discovered a tumor that wrapped around his intestines and stretched around his heart.
"It was stage three," said mom, Shannon Fuller. "They gave him a 20-percent survival rate."
Several surgeries paired with chemotherapy were draining on the family. "I was sad for Brody," said Fuller's six-year-old sister, Joss.
"It was hard," said older brother, eight-year-old, J.J. "You know, watching him go through all that cancer stuff."
However, the youngest fuller took the disease head on. "I told that cancer to get out of my belly," Brody Fuller said. "It came back and I stomped on it with my shoes. I'm a super hero."
It was earlier this year, the family got the news they'd been waiting for - Fuller's cancer was in remission. "There is still 10-percent left on his heart," Ms. Fuller said. "The doctor said he can live with that there until he is 95."
Once Fuller completes treatment in October, he'll be considered "cured."
Fuller applied to the "Make-a-Wish" foundation, and should be hearing if his wish will be granted sometime soon.

FGD: Blizzard in Calgary
Ryan Pike
March 03 2013 01:49PM
The weather outside is frightful, but there's a chance that the game tonight at the Scotiabank Saddledome could be anything but delightful for the Calgary Flames as they host the Vancouver Canucks.
The Flames organization has had a terrible week, between losing out on Ryan O'Reilly, the RFA waivers fiasco and, most importantly, a series of blown leads in 2-1 and 5-4 losses to the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche. The club has had time to lick its wounds and hopefully let any distractions blow over, but another "L" tonight would mean another black eye for team that has already been thoroughly worked over.
If the Flames can put togehter a strong, focused performance, the Canucks are beatable – Vancouver played the Los Angeles Kings at home on Saturday night, went to the airport to fly to Calgary and got sent home because of the storm here in Alberta. It will likely be a hectic, stressful and snow-filled trip to YYC for the Vancouver Canucks. If the Flames are on their game, they can win, get back to .500 and keep their dimming playoff hopes alive.
That is, if the game isn't cancelled outright.
The Flames have been one step forward, one step back all season. Currently sitting at a game under .500, they're about to see their roughest stretch of games so far this year – Vancouver tonight, San Jose on Wednesday, then on the road to visit Anaheim for one and Los Angeles for two. It's not inconceivable that they could lose all five games. That's why this contest is critically important to win, because they're facing a travel-weary, tired Canucks team.
Brian McGrattan – wearing #16 – could return to the line-up tonight. He was described by Bob Hartley earlier this week as a game-time decision. McGrattan is big and can drop the gloves, but not much else. Toughness continues to be an on-going concern with the lclub (amongst other things) so we'll see if he adds anything. Either way, he'll play four minutes a game if he does play at all. Akim Aliu has been banished back to Abbotsford.
The other news this week regards injuries. Miikka Kiprusoff has been practicing and should return sometime in the next 7 days. That means Danny Taylor's expected start tonight could be his last of the year for Calgary – assuming no more injuries, of course. Consider tonight an audition for future employment for "The Impaler."
Mikael Backlund is back skating alone with the yellow caution jersey. He's not with the group yet, but it's an encouraging sign for a guy that was great before he went down with a MCL injury, not to mention a team with the fewest natural centers in the NHL as things stand.
Here are the team's new lines courtesy Sportsnet's Pat Steinberg.
- Tanguay – Stajan – Stempniak
- Hudler – Cervenka – Iginla
- Glencross – Cammalleri – Baertschi
- Begin – Comeau - McGrattan
- Giordano – Bouwmeester
- Brodie – Wideman
- Butler - Smith
Danny Taylor starts after MacDonald's implosion agains the Avs.
The Canucks prevailed over the Kings last night by a 5-2 score. They're at the top of the Northwest Division and are always a tough game for the Flames. Calgary got a point from their two games in Vancouver, but overall have been out-scored 7-3 by Canucks. Leland Irving was not great in a 5-1 loss the last time these teams met on February 9.
As usual, the magical Sedin twins drive the bus, offensively, for the Canucks. They each have a point-per-game or more. Nobody else on that team is really all that close, except for maybe Ryan Kesler who is fortunately injured again.
The Canucks are dealing with a goaltending "controversy," in that they have both Cory Schneider (6-4-1, 2.65 GAA, .910 S%) and Roberto Luongo (5-1-3, 2.11 GAA, .916 S%) on their roster and basically flip a coin to see which good goalie will start.
Here are last night's lines.
- D.Sedin – H.Sedin – Burrows
- Booth – Lapierre – Kassian
- Higgins – Raymond – Hansen
- Sestito – Schroeder – Weise
- Edler – Bieksa
- Hamhuis – Garrison
- Alberts - Tanev
The coin-toss came up heads, so Roberto Luongo will likely start. Oh, and also because Schneider played last night.
The Flames have had a rough week and are entering a difficult stretch of games beginning tonight. Facing a tired Canucks team, this is about as easy at it gets for awhile.
This evening's contest is as close to a must-win game as they're going to have this early in the season. With the probable playoff threshold at about 55 points in the West, Calgary can only afford to lose about 9 more games in regulation for the rest of the season. That is a steep hill to climb as it is and grows ever steeper with every new loss.
lets give the "they played last night" thing a rest ok. The whole season for everybody is practically a played last night. Every team is going to have to bring it every night or lose, it can't be an excuse why a team wins or loses. Calgary is notorious for beating the better teams and getting pasted by weaker teams. Could be that's what motivates some of our long term members I don't know.
Sorry kent. Not sure how I sent that to myself?
March 03 2013, 09:54PM
Why does Francis keep getting work?
His mom.
Fair enough, it's a compact season either way and they do have a lot more depth than us. That's 4losses in five for them. Doesn't brake my heart!

At 14 months, my son has gone from falling asleep within an hour after we start his bedtime routine (bath, light play, song, nursing/walking to sleep) to taking up to 4 hours to go to sleep from the start of our routine! I'm sure this is in part due to his development stage but am not sure of what I might be doing or not doing that is contributing to his extreme change in behavior/dislike of bedtime. Where before bedtime was relatively peaceful with mild resistance on some nights, he is now crying and kicking in my husbands arms as my husband tries to walk him to sleep, not the situation I want us to end up every night! I've added longer playtime outdoors and moved his bedtime up an hour later. We cosleep and this is where some of my confusion as to how to handle this starts. How does one keep a toddler in the bed if he doesn't want to sleep? I'll nurse him to sleep and I'll think he's on the edge of sleep when suddenly he'll unlatch and move off the bed and head for the bedroom door to go out and play. I am the more AP-minded parent and I stay at home so if my son needs some extra time to work out his energy at night, I'm willing to stay up but my husband works a stressful job and is starting to push me to try some of the CIO methods he has read about online (i.e., Baby Whisperer, various incremental crying techniques) so that he can have his evenings to himself again. We have a crib that we don't use and my husband wants to use it now which seems like a giant step backwards to me. Last night, after an hour of walking my son to sleep, my husband declared that he was going to let our son cry it out tonight. I wouldn't even know how this would work if my son isn't using a crib and can crawl out of our bed. How do people even try any of the sleep methods if the child can get out of the bed?? My husband doesn't say it aloud but I sense that he wishes we used a CIO method on our son months ago. I am committed to AP principles and have worked to bring my husband on board with me but this sleep issue is testing my husband's patience and my ability to know what to do other than use more patience! I don't want to see him leave my son to cry alone to sleep. Help! Sorry for the long post.

Lexus has revealed a two-seater convertible version of its LF-A super car concept at the 2008 Detroit Motor Show - dubbed the LF-A Roadster.
The company says the Roadster is based on the sturdy yet lightweight carbon-fibre and aluminium body used for the LF-A coupe, which helps maintain the structure's strength and rigidity even without a top.
It is powered by a V10 engine that approaches 5.0 litres in displacement, and is capable of producing more than 360 kilowatts and test-track speeds greater than 330km/h.
The rear of the LF-A roadster is marked by a pair of wrap-around, arrowhead-shaped taillights that sit atop a pair of large grilles which vent heated air from the car's two rear-mounted radiators.
The radiators are fed cool air by two large intake ducts mounted just above the rear wheel wells.
The rear radiator positioning not only allowed the designers to keep the car's front profile low and tight but also aided the LF-A's chassis engineers in their search for optimal weight distribution.
Like the LF-A coupe, the brakes on the Roadster consist of 361mm cross-drilled, vented discs up front, and 345mm cross-drilled, vented discs at the rear. The front brake calipers are six-piston units and the rear calipers use four pistons each.
Lexus LF-A Roadster Concept Preliminary Specifications Body Type: Two seat roadster
Powertrain Type: Front-mid-engine, rear-mid-transaxle Engine: V10 (under 5.0-litres) Transmission: SMT (sequential manual transmission) Horsepower: More than 360kW Top Speed: More than 330km/h
Tyre Size Front: 265/35R20 Rear: 305/30R20
Dimensions (mm) Overall Length: 4460 Overall Width: 1895 Overall Height: 1210 Wheelbase: 2606

Heh, it's the brown loli that kidnapped Kenichi back before he fought Jihan.
Hmm, I expected better from Sakaki, he was just bullying that guy. Good thing Kenichi stopped him.
Currently reading/watching:
One Piece, Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin, Kenichi, Hajime No Ippo The Rising, Hunter x Hunter
Yeah, Batman does this all the time. I don't see anything wrong with it if you're talking to a bully too. That's how bully talks to each other.
sig made by me
No it's not. There are better ways to deal with them. Just because you can overpower someone, doesn't mean you should. I can imagine Akisame getting all the info out of him without even touching him physically.
Currently reading/watching:
One Piece, Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin, Kenichi, Hajime No Ippo The Rising, Hunter x Hunter
^^ yeah I agree with Arisart.....batman does it all the time lol
But seriously Sakaki should realise y now that his name is enough of an intimidation tool let alone his fist. He is simply a Bully and he relishes it....xd
__________________________________________________ __________________________
Currently planning war strategies at a tea party with Madara, Kabuto, Zetsu and Sasuke.
Any of the masters would end up with the same way with dealing with them> frightening the hell out of those bullies. The elders mere aura would be enough for those guys to shit on their pants. Sakaki just did a "tough bar guy" instead of "overwhelming presence of a master". Any way, it's still some form of bullying.
sig made by me
well the bar-ppl were all doung the tough-guy attitude so I don't really mind them being made losers off.
Anyway, last chap was pretty ok. I see that girl fall in love with kenichi eventiually.
I wish it were Ma with Kenichi, Sakaki isn't a boring character or anything, but in my opinion he has the lamest fighting style - not trying to say karate is weaker then the others, just its more boring to watch Sakaki then watching the others.
Also.. Ma is stronger/funnier then Sakaki so it makes for a better read in my opinion, not to mention he is a great salesman.. so while Sakaki has to scare people into things Ma can just talk to them.
and yeah Flare I can see that happening too.

Brain Scans as Evidence: Truths, Proofs, Lies, and Lessons
Francis X. Shen
University of Minnesota Law School
Owen D. Jones
Vanderbilt University - Law School & Dept. of Biological Sciences
February 23, 2011
Mercer Law Review, Vol. 62, p. 861, 2011
Vanderbilt Public Law Research Paper No. 11-2
This contribution to the Brain Sciences in the Courtroom Symposium identifies and discusses issues important to admissibility determinations when courts confront brain-scan evidence. Through the vehicle of the landmark 2010 federal criminal trial U.S. v. Semrau (which considered, for the first time, the admissibility of brain scans for lie detection purposes) this article highlights critical evidentiary issues involving: 1) experimental design; 2) ecological and external validity; 3) subject compliance with researcher instructions; 4) false positives; and 5) drawing inferences about individuals from group data. The article's lessons are broadly applicable to the new wave of neurolaw cases now being seen in U.S. courts.

Hi, najla. Any plans this holiday weekend?
Still so sleepy. Maybe it was the rain that God finally poured on our extremely cracked earth. This is the worst drought on record for us, so the rain was indeed a blessing, even though it caused Allie and I to have to leave the pool. How about your end of the states?
Good evening! How are you?

Good evening hope you have great weekend <( * * )>
I just woke up about an hour ago! LOL, I literally crashed about 4:30 pm. Allie was talking to me and I could barely speak, I was in such a deep stupor.
Hello, again!
Good morning, Jill! How are things going today? How is Allie?

Thanks for accepting:)
I did??? Is that Dan? LOL! I was just about to thank him for the ribbon! Alright! Now I have the both of you with me; what else could I ask for?
Good morning, Jill! I see you met my husband!
Sweet dreams to all that are still awake!

A traveling exhibit is on display now at the Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale. The exhibit entitled "Key Ingredients, America by Food," is on loan from the Smithsonian Institution and sponsored by the Utah Humanities Council. The traveling exhibit is being displayed in Castle Dale first on its tour of Utah. It will also be displayed in Huntsville, Springdale, Richfield, Tooele and West Valley City from now until March 20, 2004.
Key Ingredients delves into the historical, regional and social traditions that merge in everyday meals and celebrations at the America table. America teems with food production from the fisheries off the coast and in the Great Lakes to the rich farmlands of the midwest and the grazing lands of the mountain west.
The vastness and diversity of America's landscape, climate and people lead to the diversity of foods. States even claim a food item as their own such as the Georgia peach, Idaho potato and green jello for Utah. The Industrial Revolution restructured America and the American diet. America hosts a variety of events with food preparation and eating at the core.
Fish fries, lobster boils, clambakes, chili cook-offs, dutch oven cooks and the list is endless. Sharing meals deepens relationships and reveals common values. Food is central to culture. Culture is central to identity. It all begins at home. Table manners, china patterns, cookbooks and traditions all converge at the Thanksgiving table.
The display will also include local exhibits and programs that are unique to Emery County. An opening reception and program is being planned for June 5 at 7 p.m. and will include a tasters table. On June 17 at 7 p.m. the Begay family will present Native American family and food traditions with a tasters table. On June 24 at 7 p.m. the theme will be pioneer traditions and cowboy tales with a tasters table. Each Friday at 10 a.m. there will be a pioneer story time for children at the Pioneer Museum for children 4-9 years of age.
The people from the other museums who will be hosting the exhibit were on hand in Castle Dale on May 27 to see how the display was set up. They were treated to lunch by the volunteers at the Museum of the San Rafael.

By Ted "Little t" AllenHuntington
Dear Editor,
I recently attended court in the courtroom of the Honorable Judge Douglas Thomas. As usual for Judge Thomas he had a very full courtroom and a day full of listening and trying to serve the best justice to the given case he was listening to. I had one case I was particularly interested in. This case concerned one of the worst crimes in my opinion, that being the abuse of a child. This case was a case of sexual abuse against children in the perpetrators own home.
Judge Thomas had this case in front of him for several months. These cases seem to take a great amount of time for any resolve. This one was no different, not counting the time the children had to endure the abuse; the case appeared before Judge Thomas six different times. I sometimes wonder why our judicial system works the way it does. That however is not the reason of this letter. This letter is to comment on the outcome of this trial.
Once the Public Defender David Allred finished with his statements and presenting his case. Then listening to the State Attorney David Blackwell statements and present his case. Judge Thomas then had the trying position of handing out a sentence to the accused of his crimes. On this particular case I was very pleased to hear a just and severe sentence given. One that Judge Thomas should be commended for giving. He listened to the facts and sentenced this individual to the strictest sentence that he could.
I commend Judge Thomas for a job well done that day in sentencing one of the worst types of criminals to the strictest sentence he could give that day.

The 1947 Miss Emery County Centennial queen's dress is on display at the Pioneer Museum in Castle Dale. The museum is located upstairs at the Castle Dale city hall and is open each weekday.
While attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Juanita Snow decided to participate in the Miss Emery County Pageant. She designed her dress that was sewn together by a family friend Mazie Peacock. The dress was made of beautiful ivory satin; it had short puffed sleeves and had sequin designs around the bottom consisting of covered wagons, beehives, and flowers. There were more than 3,000 sequins individually sewn onto the dress by Juanita, her mother and two sisters Donna and Lucille.
For the talent portion of the pageant, Juanita played the piano and delighted the audience with the song Claire de Lune.
After winning the pageant, Juanita's father Russell Snow made her a crown. He carefully shaped from wire, the shape of a crown. He then wrapped it tightly with yarn. After that he soaked it in salt water for a time, until it crystallized into a beautiful crown fit for a queen.
Now, 60 years later, Juanita still has her beautiful dress and crown. Juanita has fond memories of attending the Miss Utah Pageant in Salt Lake City, where she finished in the top 15. Her grandfather G. F. Hickman lived in Salt Lake at the time and attended the pageant with her.
In 1950, Juanita married the love of her life Elwin Rasmussen; they resided in East Carbon for 50 years and were blessed with seven beautiful children. The Rasmussens relocated back to Castle Dale, where they purchased the Dr. Truman home.
