Elderly Lesbian Couple Stage Sit-In After Being Denied Marriage License
Last week, we showed you this heartbreaking video from the WE DO Campaign, an effort to draw attention to the battle for marriage equality in North Carolina by having gay couples request—and get denied—marriage licenses from the state.
On Friday, two of the people featured in the original video—a lesbian couple that's been together for 30 years—submitted a second request for a marriage license. Except this time when they were turned away, the two women staged a sit-in and were quickly arrested.

President Bush said the Social Security is broke. May I suggest President Bush take the money used to finance abortion on demand and put that money in the Social Security system: I do not want my money used to finance on demand abortions. If you get your self pregnant have the baby. If you get your self pregnant take care of the baby. Some one took care of you. Be responsible. Our society should not promote irresponsibility.
"Started 1970"
By whom: President Richard Nixon signed Title X of the Public Health Service Act.
Why: Title X was designed to subsidize the use and distribution of birth control drugs and devices and to provide pregnancy testing.
What it does: Title X funds nearly 5,000 family planning clinics around the country, many of which are operated by Planned Parenthood. The Washington Times reported in 1997 that of the approximately 5 million women who visit Title X clinics each year, more than 1.2 million are adolescent girls. Because money is fundable, Title X in effect not only subsidizes the distribution of birth control to teenage girls but also the provision of abortions. In addition to running Title X family planning clinics, Planned Parenthood is the nation's leading abortion provider.
Cost: Title X funding was $275 million in fiscal 2003. The Bush Administration is requesting a cut to $265 million in fiscal 2004.
Constitutional provision: Christina Pearson, spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services (which administers Title X) did not respond to queries from Human Events. "
There is no constitutional provision for abortions. This is another liberal program that is taking our money with out proper constitutional provisions. This should be stopped by President Bush
This my opinion and my opinion only and does not reflect the opinion of any one else.

Celebrate Your Name Week!
Were your parents high flying hippies who named you after a rainbow? Maybe your parents were the type that weekended at the club? And now you and your sisters, Muffie, Buffy and Sissy, are in long term therapy. Or maybe you are the latest in a long line of same named family members (Sr., Jr., 3rd, IV!)?
Whatever the circumstances, what would you be without your name?
All this week we will be celebrating our names and helping our therapists with their summer home payments. So stop back daily for our week long celebration of names.

So, after a lackluster effort Monday against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Flames will be adding two more new members to their lineup tonight as both Ales Kotalik and Chris Higgins will be suiting up against Carolina.
Here's what we know so far
Higgins and Kotalik will play on a line together flanking Daymond Langkow. Jarome Iginla, Niklas Hagman and Matt Stajan played together in the third period on Monday, and they'll start the game together tonight.
I liked how they worked in the skate today and this could be something that sparks a little chemistry right off the bat. Mikael Backlund will also play tonight, he's centering the third line between Dustin Boyd and Rene Bourque. Bourque has struggled offensively lately, and a change of scenery from his usual centreman Langkow might be just what he needs to get things turned around.
The fourth line sees Curtis Glencross and Jamal Mayers flank Eric Nystrom and the scratches tonight will be Craig Conroy (injury), David Moss (injury), Nigel Dawes (injury), Brian McGrattan (healthy), Jamie Lundmark (healthy.)
Brent Sutter said after an optional morning skate that he wants Higgins and Kotalik to come in and play their game. He feels playing with Langkow might be a calming factor for the two newest Flames against the lowly Hurricanes.
We saw a lot of the lines juggled as things didn't go so great on Monday as you may have already noted. So we'll have to wait and see if things stay together in this game or if the old line blender comes out and things get mashed up once the puck drops.

"I bought these shoes for my husband. He wears a size 13, so it's not the easiest size to find. Nike is a good company so I figured I would give them a try. When he first put them on he said they were a little short. Once he wore them a couple of times they stretched out. Now that he has worn them a hand full of times they are much more comfortable. He would recommend them."

Technology is expensive. It is easy today to download an operating system and supporting software that is free (as in price and liberties) if you have the means to connect to the internet, as well as the hardware on which the OS will eventually be used.
I was fortunate enough to be able to back the recent Ubuntu Edge crowd funding campaign (which at the time of writing has already broken just about all crowd funding records, but will still not meet the required amount to get funding). Yes, I would much appreciate it if you are reading this and somehow missed what this campaign is to go check it out and perhaps make a pledge but before you rush off to do so, there is another cause I would like to make you aware off (one that is also coming to a close in a few days), one to not put the latest or greatest smartphone in the world ever (period) in your pocked, but give someone in the world the ability to do things on a computer and the internet that most of us take for granted; Reglue – Helping those on the wrong side of the Digital Divide.
From the Indiegogo page:
My name is Ken Starks and I am the Executive Director of Reglue. We refurbish donated computers and place them in the homes of financially disadvantaged kids in Central Texas. With funding running out, we need your help.
For those unfamiliar with Ken Start I would suggest you check out the Blog of Helios. I became aware of this campaign from a challenge posted by Larry the Free Software Guy to the backers of the Ubuntu Edge campaign to make a donation to Reglue, a challenge I accepted and I hope that some of you reading this blog will now also except before it is too late…
So far they have gotten just over $5000 of the target of $32 000 with just about 3 days to go… surely this is an achievable target for the awesome Ubuntu community?!

text: Lawmakers Won't Let the 'Abortions Cause Breast Cancer' Myth DieErin Gloria Ryan5/23/12 3:40pmFiled to: Roe v worldAbortionBreast CancerAbc linkCancerPro abortion rightspro choiceAnti ChoicePro LifeLiestweet78EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The mythical tie between abortions and breast cancer was definitively debunked more than 20 years ago.. and again 15 years ago... and again 10 years ago. So why are legislators still passing laws requiring doctors to lie to women about the post-abortion cancer risk? Advertisement The obvious answer is "because they're assholes who will brush aside inconvenient facts in favor of a backward agenda," a conclusion that becomes even more frustrating when you understand the history behind the myth, and it's endless, dishonest resurrection.According to a piece by Elaine Schattner over at Slate, doctors first surmised that there must be a link between abortion and breast cancer when cases of the big C skyrocketed in the decade after Roe v. Wade. As anyone who has had a conversation with a pedant who has taken a statistics class knows, correlation does not equal causation, and soon the tenuous link was debunked and by the 90's scientists had more or less concluded that there was no tie between abortion and breast cancer. But then people who want to outlaw abortion under the guise that they care about women decided that what was best for women was to perpetuate the lie that abortion would give them cancer, even though it morally, ethically, spiritually, physically, positively, absolutely, undeniably, and reliably will not. So, in 1997, scientists sighed, put on their science hats, analyzed data of 1.5 million women in Denmark and found no link between pregnancy termination and breast cancer. Nonetheless, the myth persisted, and in 2002, after a public bicker battle, the National Cancer Institute convened a group that involved "geneticists, epidemiologists, oncologists, and other experts" to determine thrice and for all, if abortion and breast cancer were linked. Once again, no link. Advertisement That hasn't stopped anti-abortion rights legislators from pushing laws requiring that women be told the God Will Strike You Down By The Tits, You Murderous Harridan lie before having abortions. The legislature in Kansas just passed a law requiring doctors to inform them that abortion will give them breast cancer, even though it won't. New Hampshire's House passed a similar measure, and a law to that effect is already in force in Texas. As Schattner notes, many of these mandatory lie laws are hidden behind the guise of being for women's benefit, for their empowerment. They're called the Women's Right to Know Act, labeled as Informed Consent laws, touted as another way that the state can Protect Women. But they're really enforcing scare tactics and faleshood.Oh, irony. It's mildly irritating when hipsters intentionally overdo it, and downright maddening when legislators unintentionally do it. Lying to women isn't "protecting them," it's, uh, lying to them. Deliberately obscuring facts and not trusting people to make decisions for themselves isn't informing or empowering, it's paternalistically condescending. It's like that scene in Lost when The Others convince Sawyer that they've implanted him with a chip that will cause his chest cavity to explode if his heart beats too fast. That's the sort of love women have gotten from anti-abortion rights legislators. The sort of care and protection that involves lying.[Slate]Reply78 repliesLeave a reply

"Playing" The Audience
Nancy sent around a link to this video of Bobby McFerrin presenting at the 2009 World Science Festival (we're hoping they'll also release video of Xavier Le Pichon's presentation soon). I don't really know much about McFerrin, but admittedly my impression of him in the past has been cynical — his late-80's chart-topper "Don't Worry, Be Happy" was always a little too earnest for my ears. But I was pleasantly surprised to see McFerrin give this simple, fun, and extremely effective demonstration of the universality of the pentatonic scale.
As it turns out, McFerrin's been on our "big list" of potential guests for quite a while, but like our other music show ideas he's never quite made it into the schedule. This video convinces me that I should probably rethink my impression of Bobby McFerrin, and the following quote makes me think he's worth moving up on our list:
"Music for me is like a spiritual journey down into the depths of my soul. And I like to think we're all on a journey into our souls. What's down there? That's why I do what I do."

Shoreline Community College faculty and staff listen during the all-campus meeting, Friday, Feb. 10, 2012.
Shoreline Community College President Lee Lambert borrowed a line from the state of the union address during an all-campus meeting Friday, Feb. 10, 2011.
"We're a college built to last," Lambert said in his introduction, paraphrasing President Obama's statement.
In his opening remarks, Lambert said the initiatives being put in place, expanding online offerings and services to create a virtual college and internationalizing the campus, are designed to prepare the college to meet the needs of students and the state.
Lambert and Daryl Campbell, vice president for academic affairs, spoke to two pieces of the ongoing budget discussions: the legislative uncertainties and Shoreline's own decision-making process.
"We're planning for a cut of about $3 million for our college," Lambert said. "We're hoping it will be less, but over the past several years, our projections have turned out to be pretty close."
Lambert said it is clear the Legislature will have to produce an all-cuts budget and that they will likely send some kind of tax package to the voters. "It is uncertain what the voters will say," Lambert said. "We can't count on that."
The next key piece of budget information, Lambert said, will come on Feb. 16 when the state is scheduled to release a revenue forecast. Lambert said much will depend on that forecast.
Campbell spoke about Shoreline's process for deciding on a budget and from where in the college reductions could come.
"The Strategic Planning and Budget Committee members have submitted a draft of recommendations for the process and how we would communicate," Campbell said. The Senior Executive Team, he said, will review the recommendations and report back to the committee and the campus.
Campbell also showed a draft timeline recommended by the committee.
"This is based on last year's timeline," Campbell said. "You'll notice some question marks, but while we're still reviewing this, I think the administration feels we can come pretty close to this timeline."
Also on the agenda was Humanities Dean Norma Goldstein speaking about the ongoing accreditation effort, eLearning Director Ann-Garnsey-Harter giving an update on the virtual-college project and related efforts and Lambert again to speak to the international education initiative.
"We just received notice a few days ago that our accreditation has been re-affirmed," Goldstein said. However, she reminded, the new accreditation process is a rolling calendar of continuous deadlines. The reaffirmation was part of getting Standard 1 finished this past summer. Standard 2, she said, is virtually completed and Standard 3 only needing a final review before submitting to the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
Standards 4 and 5 are still to come, Goldstein said. She outlined a work schedule that includes deadlines in April, May-June, August and October. Goldstein also announced upcoming work sessions open to the entire campus and set for:
· Friday, Feb. 17, 11 a.m.-noon
· Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2:30-3:30 p.m.
· Tuesday, March 13, 11 a.m.-noon
Garnsey-Harter said a key piece of the virtual-college initiative recently fell into place with a contract signing with Campus CE. The company will provide an online admissions and registration capability available, she said. While the service will be used by all students, it is particularly helpful to online students who may otherwise never come to campus.
The Virtual College Implementation Team has established two sub-groups, one for student services and another for instructional programs, Garnsey-Harter said. The instructional group is planning to launch pilot programs this coming fall.
Besides the Campus CE contract, the student services group is moving ahead with implementing mandatory G-Mail accounts for all students. The group also worked on launching the mobile apps and a mobile Web site for the college. The apps, she said, have been downloaded nearly 1,500 times in just few weeks and by users in 21 countries from China to Trinidad and Tobago.
In speaking about international education, Lambert said it is important to remember the goal is to increase global competencies for all students, domestic and international. "A third of all jobs in Washington are tied to international trade," Lambert said. "By helping students become globally aware, we help them and the economy."
Lambert made note of the work being done by the Campus Internationalization Leadership Team led by Bob Francis, Dean of Social Sciences. Lambert also noted recent enrollment statistics for international students that show increased numbers for winter quarter.

Use TCP_NODELAY for sending data to the server if TCP_NODELAY is available. cs_write_string modified to use cs_print_string. - common/client.h: Remove display_mode enum, add fast_tcp_send extern. - common/commands.c, common/init.c,gtk/image.c, gtk/map.c cs_write_sting modified to use cs_print_string - common/external.h: set_autorepeat extern added. - common/newsocket.c: Modified to be better optimized for using TCP_NODELAY - cs_print_string function added. - common/player.c: modified to use cs_print_string , autorepeat client side command added. - common/proto.h, gtk/gtkproto.h: updated with new functions - gnome/gnome.c: display_mode variable removed, cs_write_string replaced with cs_print_string - gtk/gx11.c: display_mode variable removed, cs_write_string replaced with cs_print_string, -nofog option added - pixmaps/question.111: Resized to be 32x32 pixmaps/*.xbm - used for inventory icons in X11 client, replacing xpm files - sound-src/cfsndserv.c: Better error handling, include time.h - x11/cfclient.man: -font and -noautorepeat options added. - x11/png.c: better error checking for rescaling images - x11/x11.c: noautorepeat variable added, display_mode removed, image icon functionality re-enabled, images now created from xbm files, set_autorepeat function added, add ability to set font, add mouse wheel support - x11/x11.h: remove screen_num extern. - x11/x11proto.h: Updated with new functions. - x11/xutil.c: Modified to use image_size instead of hardcoded 24x24 value for the status icons. cs_write_replaced with cs_print_string, no auto repeat functionality added. * Tue Jan 01 2002 Bob Tanner <email@example.com> - Rolled 1.1.0 client - NOTE Mark's new email address - Fixed typo in install target for x11 client. - Make all clients Provide: crossfire-client - Make sounds dependent on crossfire-client. * Mon Dec 31 2001 Mark Wedel <email@example.com> - README: Update notes on needing png (and not xpm) library. Update mailing alias. - configure.in, configure: As the seperate sound program (cfsndserv) is the only supported sound configuration, remove new_sound_system defines and ability to use the old (now non existant) sound system. Have configure exit with error message if png library is not found, as it is critical to the build process. Change it so that gnome/Makefile is always built so that making of releases works. - gnome/gnome-cfclient.man, help/about.h, x11/cfclient.man: Update mail address. - gtk/gtkproto.h, x11/x11proto.h: Rebuilt, prototypes for some changed for signed to unsigned characters. - gtk/gx11.c, gtk/png.c, pixmaps/stipple.111, x11/png.c, x11/x11.c, x11/xutil.c, pixmaps/stipple.111 pixmaps/stipple.112: Mostly changes to fix compile warnings and make sure we are passing the right types to the various image creation functions (8 bit data). - sound-src/Makefile.in: Add soundsdef.h to list of things to build. - x11/x11.h: Remove extra semicolon. * Tue May 15 2001 Bob Tanner <firstname.lastname@example.com> - Rolled new client 1.0.0 * Mon May 14 2001 Mark Wedel <firstname.lastname@example.com> - player.c: Fix for client crashes if player enters really long commands (like say .....). - gx11.c,command.c: Remove some debug statements which really should not be there for 1.0, and which are not really useful anyways. items_types, item_types.h: Varioius minor updates. - gx11.c: Fix bug that causes gtk client not to update weapon speed. metaserver.c: Have the listing get sorted by hostname to make it easier to find the host the user may want. * Thu Apr 12 2001 Bob Tanner <email@example.com> - Rolled new client 0.98.0 with Mark's changes listed next * Wed Apr 11 2001 Mark Wedel <firstname.lastname@example.com> - Change matching for sword - hopefully this should fix problems with dancing sword spellbooks. - Move animations of the look window to the client. All the necessary was already being sent to the client - it was just needed for the client to use this information. Also remove some - Only resort items based on name if the name has changed. This fixes a problem with items moving around in the inventory if you lock/apply/unapply/unlock them. * Thu Mar 22 2001 Bob Tanner <email@example.com> - Rolled new client 0.97.0 with Mark's changes listed next * Wed Mar 21 2001 Mark Wedel <firstname.lastname@example.com> - Change so that containers on the ground still keep proper contents even if the map space itself changes (spells or other objects going onto the space). - commands.c: update the cpl.container tags when opening/closing containers. - item.c: Have locate_object see if the container matches the tag. Don't have remove_item remove the object contents of other attributes if it is the container, but still remove it from the list it is on. - item.h: remove function prototypes - these are in proto.h - png.c: New png -> X11 (or gdk) creation routines that are much faster. This should make a noticable difference in performance. Note that the X11 and gdk implementations are very different now - the gdk implementation lets the gdk library do most of the work. - gx11.c: remove some dead code, add call to gdk_rgb_init() if using png images - needed by new png loader. - x11.c: Add call to init_pngx_loader if running in png mode. Also pass colormap by pointer so png_to_xpixmap can modify it. - xutil.c: pass colormap by pointer to init_pngx_loader (same reason as above) - Makefile.in: Add DMALLOC_LIB definition instead of it going in with the the default libraries. cfsndserv will now get properly linked with dmalloc. - configure.in, configure: add --disable-sound option, and make relevant changes to use that option (which basically amounts to not checking for any of the sound systems). Add check for dmalloc.h. change substitution for -ldmalloc. - cfsndserv.c: Modified so it now compiles with the modern ALSA sound system. No idea if it actually works. MSW 2001/03/04 - metaserver.c: Modified so it uses the value of -port if that command line option is given by a user. MSW 2001/03/01 - x11.c: Fixes for info window resizing. This should fix some crashes and the code is a bit simpler now. MSW 2001/02/28 - Makefile.in: Modify so that installs the target (cfclient, gcfclient, cfsndserv) one at a time so it works with the install script. - item.c: add insert_item_before_item function. Modify the sorting function so it first sorts by type, then by locked/unlocked status, and then by alphabetical order (not including the number prefix). - item_types, item_types.h: More updates of missing objects or ones that need more specific matching rules. - x11.c: Remove a lot of duplicate code that was in place for metaserver support - instead, just add checks to the existing X event handling code to know not to do some things if we're in metaserver selection mode. This fixes a bug in that resize events would not be handled if in metaserver selection mode. * Wed Feb 14 2001 Bob Tanner <firstname.lastname@example.com> - Rolled new client 0.96.0 with Mark's changes listed next * Tue Feb 13 2001 Mark Wedel <firstname.lastname@example.com> - If compiled with dmalloc, add 'dmalloc command that verifies the heap. Makes checking for memory corruption easier. - CHANGES, configure configure.in crossfire-client.spec: Update for 0.96.0 release item_types item_types.h: Add some additional items. * Sun Feb 11 2001 Bob Tanner <firstname.lastname@example.com> - Created new Group for this package Amusements/Games/Crossfire * Sat Feb 03 2001 Bob Tanner <email@example.com> - Rolled new client with Mark's changes listed next * Wed Jan 31 2001 Mark Wedel <firstname.lastname@example.com> - Complete rewrite of the exit handling code. Hopefully as an effect, this will fix the player appearing in the middle of the oceans. I think the code should also work better in many other areas. Main enhancements is a 3x3 area for pets to follow player to new map, as well as golems now following players to the new maps. - include/sproto.h, random_maps/rproto.h - rebuilt. - random_maps/random_map.c: Change generate_random_map to take a structure with the random map paremeters. - random_maps/reader.l, reader.c: Add set_random_map_variable function that reads the map parameters from a char buffer. Also, remove some leftover comments that were from the common/loader.l file. - random_maps/rogue_layout.c: Change some functions to be static so make proto doesn't collect them. - random_maps/standalone.c: Add opening of parms file into main function since it ws removed from the random_map.c file. - server/apply.c: Don't display the message of random maps to the players as they enter them, as this message is random map parameters, and not a real message. - server/login.c: #if 0 out using of the player loading element in the structure. this isn't used right now. - server/main.c: Bulk of the changes. main changes are to break apart the old enter_exit function into smaller functions that more logically do the needed function (random maps, unique maps, and transferring the player to the new map). random map code now passes the parameters via structure instead of file in /tmp. Code is much more understandable now and hopefully bugfree. - server/pets.c: minor changes/bugfixes. Search full SIZEOFFREE array, use real owner variable when print out messages. - server/player.c: Remove usage of the loading variable in the player structure. * Mon Jan 15 2001 Bob Tanner <firstname.lastname@example.com> - Makefile.in: Create destination dirs, remove extra tab. Patch also by Dave. - Protocol: typo fixed. - config.h, config.h.in: Add HVAE_DMALLOC_H #ifdefs. Checks currently disable in configure.in, as with it, the sound won't like properly since it needs -ldmalloc, and I haven't bothered investing that much time into fixing the Makefile. - gx11.c: Patches by Dave Peticolas - mostly code cleanup, but one new feature is support of wheel mice to move the scrollbars. - png.c: No real code change, just adjustments in some ordering which I think makes the code appear a little simpler. - x11.c: Minor code cleanups, some formatting changes, some to make better error messages. * Tue Jan 09 2001 Bob Tanner <firstname.lastname@example.com> - Applied MSW patch to change damge type to 16 bits * Thu Jan 04 2001 Bob Tanner <email@example.com> [0.95.8-1] - Upgraded client to 0.95.8 - Moved sounds into /usr/share/sounds/crossfire - Moved the prefix to /usr/X11R6 - Upgrade source file locations - Made the gtk client GNOME aware and put the crossfire picture into Program->Games - Sounds are noarch * Wed Mar 17 1999 Toshio Kuratomi <email@example.com> [0.95.2-2] - A few changes to conform to FHS 2.0 - Edit the sounds patch to place things in the /usr/share/sounds directory instead of /usr/share/sounds/sounds - Rewrite certain parts of the script to rely more on the make install target rather than hacking it ourselves. - We don't have to compile the program twice -- make all will create both the gtk and the Athena binaries. * Sun Jan 31 1999 Kjetil Wiekhorst Jørgensen <email@example.com> [0.95.2-1] - upgraded to version 0.95.2 - fixed minor bug in Makefile * Sun Jan 24 1999 Kjetil Wiekhorst Jørgensen <firstname.lastname@example.com> [0.95.1-2] - some bug fixes to the 0.95.1 release * Wed Dec 09 1998 Kjetil Wiekhorst Jørgensen <email@example.com> [0.95.1-1] - upgraded to 0.95.1 - install sounds in /usr/share/sounds - build both vanilla X client and GTK+ client * Thu Dec 03 1998 Kjetil Wiekhorst Jørgensen <firstname.lastname@example.com> [0.94.4-1] - upgraded to 0.94.4 * Sat Sep 05 1998 Kjetil Wiekhorst Jørgensen <firstname.lastname@example.com> [0.94.3-1] - upgraded to version 0.94.3 * Wed Jun 03 1998 Kjetil Wiekhorst Jørgensen <firstname.lastname@example.com> - Initial release.

"The shoe is very pretty and the bow is really cute. First time I brought this brand. It did not fit perfect, very disappointed, my toes did not reach the front of the shoes, its very narrow to the front, and my heel was sliding out in the back of one shoe. It looked like i borrowed someone shoe. But very pretty and lovely shoe all in all. I will just have to wear stockings to hide the beginning of my toes from showing from top portion of the shoe."

Style vs Comfort
"These shoes are so pretty on just wish they were a little more comfortable. I have used every resource I could to try to make them a little more comfortable to no avail. Still like them but you are in for a long night."

On Nov. 20, students at the Sunny Day Preschool in Huntington performed their annual Thanksgiving program for their parents. Teacher Carol Ann Stream played the role of Chief Fast Moving Stream of the village and explained to the crowd that the students have been studying Native American culture and how Thanksgiving came to be.
The students made their costumes and drums which they wore while they performed songs for the audience. The annual Thanksgiving show is performed in Stream's back yard which is fully equipped with a tepee and pictographs on the wall.
At the conclusion of the program, the students were encouraged to have their parents remove their students' pictograph.
The students made necklaces, one out of seeds and the other a bear claw necklace with beads. They fashioned drums out of oatmeal containers. They performed seven dances for their parents including 10 Little Indians. They marched and danced around the tepee and sang Thanksgiving songs.
Chief Stream said, "Throughout the entire month of November we studied Indians and being thankful. The crafts went along with this unit as well. We made necklaces, drum covers, headbands, and vests and on them the children drew items that the Indians had or used. The children ground up Indian corn with a rock, as they talked about what the Indians ate. They each brought a vegetable and they made 'Indian Stew' which the children ate with corn bread muffins. Wearing the headbands with the real feather in them made the meal complete. The feathers were donated by Patsy Allred. The children learned about pictographs and made one themselves. The parents cut out the part their child drew and took it home at the end of the Indian Dance. The children performed songs, poems and dances. Everything that the children wore were items they made. The music was authentic Indian music given to Chief Stream by the late Tillie Winder. The students were also encouraged to perform for their friends and relatives at their own Thanksgiving celebration at home."

Saracens have moved Owen Farrell from centre to fly-half for their Heineken Cup rematch with Munster at Vicarage Road.
Saracens have moved Owen Farrell from outside centre to fly-half for their Heineken Cup Pool rematch with Munster at Vicarage Road on Sunday.
Both teams are level on match points in Pool 1 and in team news ahead of what will be a near sell-out crowd in Watford, Farrell starts the game at ten, with Joel Tomkins, David Strettle and George Kruis all coming into the starting line-up from the side that faced Munster last weekend.
Charlie Hodgson, Chris Wyles and Ernst Joubert all move to the bench while the hamstring injury that Andy Saull picked up on Monday in the A-League semi-final rules him out of the 23. Adam Powell, Jackson Wray, Jacques Burger, Justin Melck, Alistair Hargreaves and Joe Maddock also miss out through injury.
"It's not often in sport that you get a chance to rectify things that may have gone wrong the week before, but that's the beauty of these rounds three and four matches against the same opposition and it represents a great opportunity for the squad to put in the kind of performance we know we can deliver," said Saracens Director of Rugby Mark McCall.
"We are level on match points and both teams have the chance to take control of the group going into the final two rounds of matches. But we have to make sure that our fundamentals and foundations are excellent across the pitch if we are to get the result that we want."
Meanwhile, Munster make just one change for the return game with Casey Laulala into the side in place of the injured Keith Earls.
Earls trained in Limerick on Tuesday but later complained of groin trouble and so withdraws with Laulala resuming the centre partnership he enjoyed with James Downey for the Racing Metro and Edinburgh games.
On Tuesday at the media briefing Rob Penney had expressed concern over several players, including Earls, but there was no further cause for concern after those players – Simon Zebo, BJ Botha, Dave O'Callaghan – came through training on Friday in Cork.
The teams:
Saracens: 15 Alex Goode, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Joel Tomkins, 12 Brad Barritt, 11 David Strettle, 10 Owen Farrell, 9 Richard Wigglesworth, 8 Kelly Brown, 7 Will Fraser, 6 George Kruis, 5 Mouritz Botha, 4 Steve Borthwick (capt), 3 Matt Stevens, 2 Schalk Brits, 1 Rhys Gill.
Replacements: 16 John Smit, 17 Mako Vunipola, 18 Petrus du Plessis, 19 Eoin Sheriff, 20 Ernst Joubert, 21 Neil de Kock, 22 Charlie Hodgson, 23 Chris Wyles.
Munster: 15 Felix Jones, 14 Doug Howlett (capt), 13 Casey Laulala, 12 James Downey, 11 Simon Zebo, 10 Ronan O'Gara, 9 Conor Murray, 8 James Coughlan, 7 Peter O'Mahony, 6 Dave O'Callaghan, 5 Donnacha Ryan, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 BJ Botha, 2 Mike Sherry, 1 David Kilcoyne.
Replacements: 16 Damien Varley, 17 Wian du Preez, 18 Stephen Archer, 19 Billy Holland, 20 Peter Butler, 21 Duncan Williams, 22 Ian Keatley, 23 Luk O'Dea.

Armed law enforcement officers will spend about two hours each day in area elementary, middle and other school buildings as part of the Douglas County School District's new school security program.
The $674,000 marshal program, which launches in August with the start of the academic year, was created in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in December.
The district budgeted $600,000 for the program's first year. Seven charter schools that opted into the program are paying a total of $74,000. That $674,000 reimburses the sheriff's office and Castle Rock, Parker and Lone Tree police departments for their officers' time.
DCSD will pay the Douglas County Sheriff's Office $361,000, Castle Rock $160,000, Parker $123,000 and Lone Tree police $30,000.
The amounts are based on the number of schools in each jurisdiction. Lone Tree, for instance, has the fewest buildings to patrol, with just two elementary schools and an early childhood education center.
While the original plan called for plainclothes officers, they'll instead wear what officers describe as a "soft uniform" — including a shirt with a department insignia on the front and "police" or "sheriff" printed on the back — so school staff, students and other officers easily can identify them.
"In talking with law enforcement, there was concern about other agencies responding in the event of an emergency, and not being able to identify law enforcement from another threat," DCSD Chief Operations Officer Bill Moffitt said. "So the agreement we landed on was a soft uniform."
Because officers will report to schools in unmarked cars, those outside the building won't know when law enforcement is on campus.
Chief Jeff Streeter said officers will spend an hour every morning and afternoon in each of the city's three school buildings. They'll interact with students and staff, which Streeter said isn't unlike their previous school visits.
"Lone Tree has always participated with the school district in training classes, DARE being one of them, weekly or every other week," he said. "So now we'll be there on a daily basis.
"I think it's a good program. I think it does give us another layer of safety."
The sheriff's office, meanwhile, is responsible for 38 charter, middle and elementary schools. Like Lone Tree, the office doesn't plan to hire additional officers to do the work.
"We have a little under 300 sworn officers," sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Ron Hanavan said. "Out of those 300, people can basically on their days off sign up for extra duty. There wouldn't be enough funding to hire additional officers. We're doing it for us in the most cost-effective way."
Lone Tree won't use patrol officers, instead relying on those who work in the investigations division.
The Parker Police Department plans to hire an additional officer to help implement the program. Castle Rock is relying on existing staff this year, but will hire and train two more officers by the start of the 2014-15 academic year, according to town spokeswoman Caroline Kipp.
"We're really confident this is going to be successful," Moffitt said. "I think it's going to be an excellent additional lawyer of security that really strikes a partnership in the community and the county as a whole."

Top Definition
Adj. The act of searching through a room that houses miscellaneous unwanted items in order to find something for yourself. Originating in the Berkeley Cooperative System, the term specifically refers to hunting through the "free pile room" where old co-opers leave their unwanted items to avoid clutter in the moving process.
"Sweet, I just found a pair of mannequin legs while free-pileing that I can put in my room!"
"I need a costume for the co-op party. Time to go free-pileing!"

Hi from Australia!
Can you tell me what lighter and cutter you both use in the top 25 reviews?
Soli Deo Gloria
I like to use a BIC and a BUCK ( knife )
think Gordon is using an ST dupont black as night minijet: http://www.elighters.com/dli010011.html).
Think David is using an IM Corona Old Boy (http://pipesandcigars.com/imcooldboybl.html#.URltDaXok24)
Not sure which cutters they're using, but David's looks like the lamborghini cutter that has a top sliding double blade (similar style, but i don't think it's the lambo)

Yellow, you're very close. Gordon is using an ST Dupont Xtend lighter.
I love the IM Corona Old Boy, but the lighter in the video is actually by Cryil Brizard, who makes incredible cigar accessories. It's a Brizard Retro 1. Love it.
Thought the xtend and maxijet were the same, but found out the xtend is made in france while the maxijet is made in china. I love the brizard lighter in terms of style. Just got the dunhill unique lighter in that style and i love it. I'm also wondering what cutters they're using
MP, how long have you had the Providence?
It would be my next lighter but after having problems with 2 Colibris I had decided to go to Xikar.
I purchased the ST Dupont minijet, only to find it was made in China (tiny print on the trigger). I'll stick with Xikar, better product, guarantee and feels better in the hand.
Soli Deo Gloria
Hmmm... after your experience for sure I will never ever try Colibri again.
Ir wouldn't be smart. If they prefer one time costumer I will obey them.
I went thru 2 colibris in the course of 10months. They're absolute garbage. I have a st dupont minijet that i've used for almost 2 yrs now and it works great. I also just got a dunhill unique, which so far i love, but it's only been a week. I almost bought a lambo lighter til i found out it was made by colibri. Soon as i found that out i killed that thought. Still interested to know what cutters they used though. Love the top to bottom guillotine style and just bought the xikar carbon fiber ultra cutter. Waiting on delivery now
I am currently doing a marketing analysis on this specific topic. (it is part of the whole analysis)
The problem I have found is that it is not mentioned anywhere on the S.T. Dupont website or anywhere, for that matter.
One has to go ask an employee: "Is the Maxijet made in China?", for them to answer that it is. All of this under the cover of the brand name: S.T. Dupont, "Paris".
Edit: The problem is not that because It says "Paris" it should be automatically manufactured in France but when one is shopping for a lighter, wallet or pen at this brand, the salesperson will brag that it is "made in France", all "made in France"...then...one notices that they have a new collection of torch lighters, cutters and punch and buys one believing that, as all the rest of the products, It was made in France only to find, a few days or weeks later, that it was manufactured in China.
What to think? What to say? For the moment, I stick to my Ligne 2 and nothing more.
My nephew had a Colibri and it failed in a relatively short period of time. He has had other "expensive" lighters but so far, they have not been a good value.
Personally, I don't spend more than $50 on a lighter, and my go to lighters are triple jet lighters I bought for $15.00 each. I liked the reliability of the first one so much, I bought a spare. That was two years ago. The first one still works fine, and the second one is my backup I carry just in case. So far, $30 well spent for two. I use Vector Butane and that is at least half the battle with any lighter. GOOD CLEAN FUEL.

A number of BOTL use either or both of those sites. I started going through the application process but they wanted a credit card number to put on file. I don't do credit cards, I have a debit card with a VISA logo. There's my money in that account and it does not have the same security as a regular credit card. I passed.
Thanks for the tip though, I understand there's some good deals on those sites.
Mike T.
i use vector butane in regular butane lighters, but i've always used the recommended butane from the manufacturer for expensive lighters. dunhill for dunhill, dupont for dupont. it gets expensive, but i figure for a $400 lighter, why bother risking it. might as well use what the manufacturer recommends. for a company like dupont, there are 10 diff kinds of butane. if they're recommending that you use a specific butane for a specific lighter, i just follow it.
You would have to. High-end duponts use single fill cartridges and each ligne/gatsby uses a different color due to varying fill valves and amount of gas. The gas inside is the same. There are screw in adaptors for the ligne series.
The xtends use regular butane cans(black dupont butane). The maxijet is the only traditionally filled lighter that I haven't had a single filling problem with and I attribute that to only using dupont gas, right or wrong. So I won't ever use anything else. It's worth using the black dupont gas for fill-valve compatibility alone. Vector fuel is fine, and comes with multiple plastic adaptors. But those are easily misplaced.
"The future is no place to place your better days"
Good information dude. I don't have anything other than the traditional generic fill lighters. I mentioned that I won't spend more than $50 on a lighter so that seals the deal on generic vs proprietary. If I could spare $400, I would buy more cigars.

Hi its really refreshing to hear positive things. the people i work with now are all so negative its disheartening! i believe you make your own destiny and i plan to make the best of all situations good or bad! i was with the federal govt for 19 yrs then a family member got sick and i had to help thus having to relocate to Florida. he has since passed and now i would like to get back to govt job i gave up to spend what little he had left with him! things happen for a reason! thank you for your words of kindness! have a great weekend!!
Thank you very much for the strong vote of confidence!! I believe what is, is.... If it is meant to be, it happens, and sometimes we don't understand until later.
Thank you, thus far it's been good. I went to an interview yesterday. Said of 200 applicants, they were interviewing 5. This is the first real thing I've had since September, so it "scared" me into checking with former employers. You see, this job would have meant travelling around the state, and I was afraid they would offer it to me; then what would I say? So, I'm gonna see if there is something more real such as walking in and walking out of the same place each day. I have my fingers crossed about this happening shortly. One former employer was pretty positive.
Take care, good to hear from you.

- Nice quality, color is very nice. Review by Kevin
Really nice quality and color. I really like the way the sides all go straight down, more of a modern look for our function. This will work out great for the wedding party table at our summer wedding.(Posted on 4/19/10)
- Great alternative to table skirting!Review by Nicki
I bought one of these for the head table at my wedding. I love the clean look of this fitted table cloth. I thought I was going to have to have a plain white table skirt the venue provides until I found this, its perfect. It goes great with the burgundy satin overlays and table runners, I bought for our guest tables. I also bought some ivory organza overlays to dress up the head table look so good together!

For Immediate Release
September 23, 2003
Washington, D.C.- The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today announced almost $6 million in funding to combat methamphetamine. Including these grants, COPS has awarded $34.3 million this fiscal year to fight the escalating methamphetamine problem. This latest funding will support a variety of methamphetamine related child endangerment, training, and environmental initiatives of local law enforcement agencies and criminal justice organizations. The grants are being awarded to fifteen law enforcement agencies and three organizations that will provide training on methamphetamine enforcement.
Methamphetamine, which is commonly referred to as "meth" or "crank", represents one of the fastest growing drug threats in America. Primarily a drug that was concentrated in southwestern states, it has spread rapidly to other regions in the nation. It is highly explosive during the manufacturing process, creates hazardous waste, and poses a significant danger to the environment and members of the community.
"The safety threats and destructive potential posed by methamphetamine extend far beyond the users," said COPS Director Carl R. Peed. "This drug places entire communities at risk, and we are committed to strengthening the capacity of state and local law enforcement to fight the spread of methamphetamine."
COPS provides law enforcement agencies with an array of community policing training and technical assistance resources intended to increase their capacity to fight crime. COPS also funds the hiring of community policing officers. Since 1995, COPS has provided more than $6.9 billion to nearly 13,000 state and local law enforcement agencies to hire over 118,000 officers, deputies, and troopers.

When Denim Therapy was hanging out at the NYLON Guys' VIP shopping event at Bloomingdales last week, we had the chance to chat up Kevin Harter, Vice President of men's fashion direction, after he had a go at the old fashioned carnival games and was cheered by his enthused employees. We've gotta say, he's a charmer! Here's what he had to say about what's happening in denim now.
Kevin Harter: Hello Denim Therapy!
Denim Therapy: Hello! We want to know what you're excited about this season in denim.
KH: That denim is back, actually. We're seeing guys get back into jeans and become denim snobs again, which is nice.
DT: We totally agree.
KH: Yeah, and we're seeing different personalities emerge in denim—all we saw for a while were skinny jeans and now we're seeing the straight leg and the boot cut come back, we're seeing colored denim come back… and one thing I think is really exciting is that we're seeing more corduroy…
DT: Yes! We love cords. What are some recent consumer trends you're seeing right now?
KH: Definitely colored denim and corduroy.
DT: Awesome. So, what are you going to be for Halloween?
KH: An auto-mechanic! I wear a suit all the time, so it's nice to get out of it.

10 Things I Learned from Vincent Dizenzo
10 Things I Learned from Vincent Dizenzo
Matt Rhodes
Ive been training with my man crush, Vincent Dizenzo, for about three-and-a-half years. Over that time, I learned a whole bunch of things, some of which are just plain common sense and others that are not-so-obvious at first. Id like to share a few of these in hopes that they may help you get where youre going.
So here they are:
1. Psychology This is probably the best one of them all. I saw this first hand at the IPA Worlds in June 2007. Vincent was going after his 600-pound bench for the third time. Everything was off that day. The rack was too high, and we were having trouble with the lift-off. The bench was too high, and he was having a hard time driving his heels into the ground. We miss-timed the warm-ups, and he sat for about 45 minutes after his last attempt in the back room. Nothing was falling into place the right way. At one point, I looked over and saw Vincent with his eyes closed, talking to himself. I took this as a sign to leave him alone. As it turns out, he pretty much talked himself down from the ledge. He WILLED himself to succeed, and he did, setting the IPA unequipped bench World Record at 600 pounds. No matter how he feels, hell always answer, Im feeling f***ing great! There are no excuses for having a bad day. Its your job to put yourself in the right frame of mind to succeed.
2. Breathing This is another lift-saver. This is very simple and effective. When you get nervous and start hyperventilating or thinking about the lift too much, just start breathing. Its as simple as that. Breath your air deep into your belly and let it out. While youre breathing, count. For me, its three seconds in and three seconds out. If you count in your head, you wont be able to think of anything except your breathing. It will take your mind off of whatever it is thats bothering you, including your girlfriend or wife.
3. Toes up This is great for squatting, pulling and benching if you bench flat-footed. We all know that we need to have most of our weight on our heels when we lift. The easiest and most effective way Ive found to do this is by lifting my toes up in my shoe. Every time, I relive ym childhood. Remember the times you used to get new shoes? The shoe helper would always ask us to pick our big toe up so he/she could see where it was in relation to the front of the shoe. This same tried and true method of sizing shoes will also help keep your weight on your heels while smashing PRs.
4. Video Video all of your lifts. This is not to include sex with your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband, unless you or they are good looking and you want to send me a video. This is the best way to see what youre doing. Your training partners can tell you what youre doing wrong or right, but it will only really click when you see yourself doing it. Cameras are cheap and an invaluable way to better all of your lifts.
5. Leg drive in the bench Its just like youre on the bottom. Drive those hips as if whether youre a flat-footed or on your toes bencher, the key to victory is keeping your hips up just like youre fornicating with your significant other(s). Before you take the hand-off, get your hips up by squeezing your glutes and hamstrings. Your hips should stay up throughout the entire lift. Once you get the rack command, you can let them drop back down.
6. Breathing revisited Hold your breath. If you let your air out, you change your body position under the bar. This isnt so important while squatting because in some federations there is a squat command and you need to take another breath. However, on the bench, itll kill you. Hold your air in until youve completed your set. If youre doing more than three reps, try to keep it in. Its a must in the 13 rep range. Vincent is a 300-pound asthmatic. If he can hold his breath for the first 25 reps at 225 on his way to 40 with only one more breath, you can do it. Besides, almost blacking out is a sweet high. Very inexpensive.
7. Diet and supplementation Put the good stuff in your body. Every big bastard (275 and above) eats crappy food. We love it. The cholesterol flows through our veins and our hearts skip beats as if to say, WTF is wrong with you? Why are we so big? But, at the end of the day, all of us fat guys eat a pretty clean diet. Im no nutrition expert, but there are a few very simple things that Vincent taught me:
get at least your body weight in grams of protein
eat lots of dead animals
drink milk
eat pasta/potatoes/rice
eat lots of eggs
do this every day
drink a gallon of fluid
do this every day
As far as supplements go, do what you will. The supplements that Vincent and I use are:
protein powder
Whatever you choose to use, be consistent with it, just like your food intake. If you put the pieces together, itll turn out well for you.
8. Sleep Youre supposed to get one hour of sleep for every two hours that youre awake. This is how you know how much sleep you need every night. If you have the next day off, go to bed at your usual time as if you had to get up for work. Dont set your alarm. When you wake up, look at the clock. Do some simple math and thatll tell you about how long you need to sleep. If you get enough sleep, you should not need an alarm to wake you up, no matter what the hour. If youre a fellow fat guy with apnea, go get a sleep study. Do ALL of the things you need to do so that you get a good, restful sleep. Sleep deprivation will destroy your life, not just your lifting. Ask Chad Aichs about his sleep deprivation. Its a serious problem that can be fixed if youre willing to do it. It took me almost making out with a bridge abutment at 80 mph before I got my study at the behest of Big Vinny. It turns out that I hold the record in the Southside crew. I stopped breathing 136 times per hourten more than the next man.
9. Expect to move big weights This one is as simple as it sounds. Expect to lift big. Just because you might not be able to do it now doesnt mean you cant do it in the future. Vincents worst lift was the bench. He was a 750-pound squatter and a 700-pound deadlifter in the 242-pound class (that sounds funny, doesnt it?) and he had a single-ply dishcloth for a squat suit. Two ruptured discs led him to being a bench specialist. Along the way, he held a World Record in the 275 class and a World Record unequipped and was one of the first guys to bench 800 pounds. The list goes on. He didnt go into benching thinking that hed hold these records and accomplishments. He just kept training and the numbers kept falling. He expects me to squat 1000 pounds. He expects me to deadlift 800 pounds. He prays that I learn how to bench, but thats a whole other story. Expect greatness from yourself and youll get it. Greatness isnt measured in World Records. Its measured in setting and breaking your own goals and records.
10. Its ok if you get turned on by tranny porn Some of you know what Im talking about and some of you dont.
I hope some of these things help you. Theyve helped me a ton!

Good read. Rhodes' stuff is fun to read, he's pretty funny. Vincent is a pressing machine, when he speaks everybody should listen. They both have a broadcast called "Just Big" if you haven't heard of it or caught one on the web. Funny and informative.

Some of the simplest computing devices made and sold are aids to counting. From ancient to early modern times, scribes performing calculations moved small stones or metal tokens along lines. More recently, mechanical counters have been widely used to count crowds and objects, and as parts of machines.
In the nineteenth century, several inventors patented mechanical counters. Patent models surviving in the Mathematics Collections at the National Museum of American History suggest the range of their concerns. Paul Stillman in 1854 and Daniel Davies and Edward Wright in 1876 patented improvements in rotary measures, such as were used in revolution counters for steam engines. In 1874, Alexander Atkinson patented a counting register to help track quantities of grain. As the amount of leisure time available to Americans increased, three inventors around 1880 saw fit to patent counters to keep score in games.
By the turn of the century, mechanical revolution counters were incorporated in laboratory apparatus, in factories using engines, in distance measures such as odometers, and in cash registers. Americans manufactured them and imported them from abroad. Government offices bought and made counters to compile statistics, and employers used them to figure out the bills and coins they needed to meet payroll. Of course counters were incorporated in a wide range of vehicles and meters. Handheld counters are used to this day to count people entering and leaving buildings and on public transit.

Examples of counting tokens are in the Smithsonian's National Numismatics collection.

Moffett Register for Recording Alcohol Sales
- Description
- In the spring of 1877, to pay the interest on the public debt, the state of Virginia passed a law suggested by State Senator Samuel H. Moffett of Harrisonburg. Every liquor dealer and saloon in the state was to be equipped with a so-called Moffett register to record sales of liquor, allowing state tax collectors to know taxes due. This is an example of a Moffett register. Moffett and Otis Dean of Richmond received a patent for the device in 1877.
- The counter has a black iron frame with a glass window in the front and a brass crank in the back. Two holes in the base allow the register to be fixed to a counter. Under the window are six dials, each of which can read any digit from 0 to 9. The dials are marked according to the decimal place of the digit. Turning the crank at the back an entire turn rings a bell and increases the setting on the tens dial (the rightmost). On the back is a covered keyhole. The case is locked and there is no key.
- A mark inside the window above the dials reads: MOFFETT REGISTER. A mark on the outside of the front reads: ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS. Another mark there reads: No (/) 2872. The dials are labeled from left to right: 1 MILLION, 100 THOUSAND, 10 THOUSAND, 1 THOUSAND, 1 HUNDRED, TEN.
- By 1878, use of the Moffett register reportedly was in decline.
