Posted on 12/10/2012 12:11:35 PM PST by DogByte6RER
'I should sterilize you': Deadbeat dad of nine agrees to judge's order to stop having kids
Corey Curtis, 44, owes about $90,000 in back child support and interest to the mothers of his children
Agrees with judge's order to curb his excessive breeding as a condition of a three-year probation term
Americas most infamous baby machine, Desmond Hatchett of Tennessee, has fathered more than 20 children with 11 women
A Wisconsin father of nine who's behind on child support payments has allegedly agreed with a judge's order not to have any more children until he can show he can provide for them.
Corey Curtis, who fathered the children with six women, owes nearly $100,000 in back child support and interest, according to Racine County prosecutors.
In sentencing the 44-year-old father Monday in Racine County Circuit Court for failing to pay support, Judge Tim Boyle lamented that he didn't have the authority to order sterilization for Curtis.
'Common sense dictates you shouldn't have kids you can't afford,' the judge said.
Assistant District Attorney Rebecca Sommers told the judge he did have some authority regarding Curtis' reproduction rights. Sommers cited a 2001 Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling upholding a judge's power to order a defendant, as a condition of probation, to not procreate again unless he can show he can financially support the child.
'I will make that a condition of the probation,' Boyle said immediately, sentencing Curtis to three years' probation.

Common sense died in the 1960s.
"Americas most infamous baby machine, Desmond Hatchett of Tennessee, has fathered more than 20 children with 11 women."
Hatchett is up to 30 now.
Deuteronomy 23:2
King James Version (KJV)
2 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.
While they can't order him sterilized, could the judge just order him to cross a barbed wire fence 1/2 ways and walk down it a mile?
Common sense died in the 1960s.
LBJ killed it with his "Great Society."
He should have been sterilized 8 kids ago!
There is a slightly other twist to this story.
When I was a young man, pre abortion on demand and just barely the beginning of the pill days, a woman that said "yes" was also facing the possibility of spending the next 18 years raising a kid. As a consequence, they were a lot more selective about saying 'yes.' (Hey old timers, remember when it took three dates to get to first base?)
The solution to the problem outlined in this post is simple - first idiots like the one in question ought to go to jail. Second, WOMEN OUGHT TO REMEMBER THE WORD 'NO' AND START USING IT A LOT MORE OFTEN.
Of course, if women are saying "yes" because an additional kid gets them more money from the government every month, then that opens a whole new discussion..............
"What with all of these 'Johnny Appleseed' thugs running loose, is it any wonder that Amercia has become a food stamp nation?"
That's the whole idea. Bring it down from the inside. They know what they're doing and the babies can't hope to grow up to be even cowboys (no offense to cowboys).

I don't understand why he didn't go to jail???
"Bailiff, whack his pee pee."
Ummm....he didn't have any of these children. Not one of them.
I couldn't afford the first one (given some people's viewpoint) and now number six is on the way. But none of them are on WIC, Foodstamps, or Welfare and I would sooner see them eat tree bark soup, dandilion roots, poke sallet, and sparrow skewers before going on the gov programs.
What do you want to bet the six women with whom he has had nine children, have a bunch of other kids as well (for which we are footing the huge bills)?
"While they cant order him sterilized..."
Are you sure the judge didn't?
He made a condition of his probation that he wouldn't father any more children.
(Wink, wink, nudge, nudge) if you get yourself sterilized I'll let you out of jail, if you don't I make you stay in jail.
Everyone knows what's going on here.
And, as much as I dislike the defendant, I can't condone the legal system twisting his arm to force him to give up what is a basic human right.
Because, if they can put this man in a position where he has to trade away one of his rights to gain his freedom, why can't they put anyone in that position?
Get in some kind of trouble with the law (say have a tax dispute with the government)? Give up your guns and we'll release you, otherwise you stay in jail. No force involved; completely voluntary (wink wink, nudge nudge).
Atlas Shrugged describes this perfectly.
Looks a little Amish? /sarc
All can be forgiven those who believe.
Much of the old testament is about laws that no man can keep. Christ fulfilled it all.
The other extreme of this coming is that the government can limit the amount of children a loving family wants someday.
Why the Hell don't we CANCEL ALL entitlements if you have kids while receiving them! You can have kids if you want to, but we're not going to pay for them.
I attended a parole hearing once where a petitioner acknowledged breeding 42 children during his interludes between prison terms. He felt very smug about this. His petition was denied, that time anyway.
We are going to have to deal with the parasite class. At some point, and that's coming soon, we will not be able to pay for them to continue to live in this manner. Their demands on the rest of us are too great.
Now, we have moved beyond all that. Such stereotyping is a thing of the past and we have re-elected a black president.
Yet I was not at all surprised by the mugshot, just as I am not surprised to hear about a bunch of black kids ganging up on a single white or playing the "game" of cold cocking an unsuspecting person.
I guess this lack of surprise would out me as "racist" or something like that, but it is reality (as opposed to "as seen on TV" or in the movies) that is teaching me some things about my fellow Americans based upon the colors of our skin and what I can expect.
Something is wrong and it ain't Bush's fault and it isn't due to skin color. We now celebrate and glorify what we once considered shameful and immoral. Little wonder things are as they are.
We used to seek and used to have better teachers. They taught truth instead of society.
There s a scene in Atlas Shrugged where the discussion is about laws, how there are so many, and how nobody could possibly obey all the laws.
The government official says that's not the point—the don't want people to obey every law. They've designed the system so that everyone is a law breaker; so the legal system can be brought to bear against anyone at any time. It's designed as a form of blackmail. Play ball with the government, and we'll forget about those laws you are breaking. Don't play ball, and the government will come down hard on you.
In this situation, the man has been told by a judge that if he "plays ball with the government" (voluntarily has himself sterilized) the legal system will go easy on him. If he doesn't play ball, the government will come down hard on him.
A bad precedent for a good cause is still a bad precedent.

25 Games For Raffi Torres
Jonathan Willis
April 21 2012 10:14AM
The NHL has suspended Raffi Torres for 25 games as a result of his hit on Marian Hossa.
Ryan Batty, a writer for Copper & Blue, tweeted the following comment, which neatly encapsulated my own initial reaction:
25 games for Torres. Wow. If this is the NHL taking discipline serious great, if this is the NHL using him as a scapegoat not so great.
That's the thing. I have no objection to a 25-game suspension for the type of hit that Torres threw, given the player's track record and the injury sustained - if that's the standard for players across the league. If Brendan Shanahan has decided that strict enforcement of this sort of hit is the way to go, I think that's an entirely defensible position and one that will help reduce concussions around the league.
If, however, this is simply a one-time suspension to throw a bone to people concerned about concussions, it's more difficult to justify. The NHL – even under Shanahan – has not enforced a consistent standard for these sorts of hits. Raffi Torres has a long track record of iffy hits, hammered a star player in a major market, is not a star player himself, plays in the NHL's most insignificant market, and was roundly vilified by fans and the press prior to this suspension being announced. In short, he's the perfect target for a massive suspension.
My hope is that this is the start of a more consistently vigilant Department of Player Safety. My fear is that the NHL's hammering an easy target and will instead slink away when something else – say, Milan Lucic running Ryan Miller, or Shea Weber grabbing Henrik Zetterberg's head and smashing it into the glass, or one of a hundred other things – happens. As it is, this is a hard suspension to reconcile with the NHL's previous decisions. That doesn't make it the wrong decision, unless it remains hard to reconcile with future decisions.
I strongly suspect that this is a one-off. If it is, then the NHL made the wrong call.
I agree that Torres is a predatory player but, regardless of how many times he's been disciplined, or the length of his suspension, Torres will not change his style. I'm sure he's pissed off with his suspension and will not think he was given a fair sentence. I think he will probably compare the way he was handled to the way others have been handled, and believe he came out on the worse end of the stick. If Raffe didn't get a suspension, and if the Coyotes continue into the playoffs, Raffe would continue trying to take players out of the game, because that's what predators do. I think that his suspension was the right call only because Torres is a repeat offender and still doesn't seem like he is willing to conform, however there needs to be a written list of automatic consequences as to what to expect for particular infractions.
April 21 2012, 03:39PM
They're obviously making an effort to make this a kinder gentler game so they can soon have women playing the NHL.
25 games for that! what a farce.
April 21 2012, 04:08PM
I'm surprised thought he would get 26 games
Reactive not Proactive. Torres can go home and pack his bags and hit the golf courses early this year. He has 1 year left on his contract. The Yotes move to QC this summer will see an end to Raffi Torres affiliation with this franchise. For those of you who believe that some idiot is going to come along and buy the Yotes for 80 million dollars think again. The NHL needs to get its money back on this dog and the best move it could make would to move this team lock stock and barrel to Le Colisse for the next 2 years. Handing over the keys to Quebecor will ensure a return on the NHL's investment and more money to the league in the next 5 years.Goodbye Raffi. It was nice knowin ya.

April 21, 2012:
The day hitting died in the NHL
Great day for the danglers. On the plus side, I guess I feel less worried about the small Oilers getting hurt now.
They finally cracked down on Cooke and he learned his lesson. They let Raffi's garbage go for too long and he just kept doing it. Whether or not he changes his style will depend on the leadership in the Coyotes' organization as Cooke had leaders like Lemieux sitting him down and making him see the light.
Hitting is not dead. Why do you need to jump to hit somebody? Hossa should be more careful the next time that he thinks about cutting back against the grain but a solid clean hit would have done the trick. It's not like Hossa is 5'8 or anything. He's 6'1.
This suspension was too easy for the NHL to make. I think it was the right call but I still don't know how smashing somebody's face into the boards for no reason after the game is over and your team won is not worthy of a suspension. Double standard for stars and scapegoats.
Until they start dishing out suspensions like this on a regular basis for hit equally as cheap and dirty, nothing will change.
This league is gutless except when it comes time to throw the book at a nobody.
Idono if it's been said or not, but this stinks of 'political' corruption to me...
the Coyotes don't have an owner. Raffi Torres doesn't have an owner to have his back...
In most cities, like Chicago, Boston, or even Nashville, when a player does something wrong there is a powerful owner or ownership group behind the scene pulling strings to get a lighter sentence. In this case, Raffi's ass is owned by the NHL, and thus he has nobody to go to bat for him at NHL head-office... The very people who cut his paycheck, are the ones suspending him, and I think it stinks.
The number 25 is so that he doesn't play anymore in the playoffs no matter what. If the series goes seven that's four more games, and if they go seven in three more series that is 21.
21+4 = 25. They just don't want him to play anymore playoff hockey this year. It's not a random number.
April 21 2012, 09:50PM
Disagree on it being the wrong call... Raffi has always been in my mind a dirty player who has never received proper punishment for his actions... I never liked him as an Oiler and I don't care for his hockey style now. Say what you want about having players on your team that the opposition loves to hate because you do need to have those agitators. But if they can't play clean and they make dirty, intentional hits to injure, which this hit was, then there is no place for that type of player in this league. If 25 games doesn't get to his head then nothing will. And if does something like that again after this suspension then ban the bum for life....
April 21 2012, 10:56PM
Wow. I think the NHL just added together the totals they SHOULD have handed out to the other culprits and gave them all to Torres.
What a joke. Seriously.
Looks like Raffi Torres had a bad spin on... the NHL WHEEL OF JUSTICE:
Maybe there's more to this than meets the eye. Maggie the Monkey hasn't been seen on TSN in a while--maybe she was appropriated by the NHL to do secret work for the NHL, with Brendan Shannahan serving as a mere human figurehead? I think there's a very good conspiracy theory underneath all this...
April 22 2012, 01:22AM
The decision reeks of overreaction PR move. Torres gets more punishment than the average aggravated assault convict in the Canadian criminal justice system. Funny how the globe is commenting on many Nucks players stating that the punishment is too severe but the Hawk players are all over Torres. Not saying Torres is Mama Angel but you know behind closed doors the NHL brass is loving all the hitting and the headhunting and the high ratings but superficially this calms all those bleeding heart pacifists.
April 22 2012, 01:46AM
What was the difference between Torres and Neil on Boyle? I don't see much difference, honestly both hits were brutal but playoff hockey can be brutal. Neither hit should be suspension fodder. Fines at the most.
They're obviously making an effort to make this a kinder gentler game so they can soon have women playing the NHL.
25 games for that! what a farce.
They are switching to sponge pucks next year also.
Many are bringing up the Weber incident on Z. I agree that this was a suspendable hit, however I don't think many saw what happened before Weber went nuts. Z tried and partially succeeded in a head shot on Weber. He reacted and I think that was why he was not suspended. I didn't hear the Shanny report but would guess that Z's actions before hand had a part to play. Same goes with the Keith hit on Sedin. In both cases, if you go after somebody's head and it is not called, what is a player supposed to do? Seems to me that Shanny is looking at the whole picture, at least in those two cases.
As for Torres, he should have received a major suspension in last years' playoff. He received nothing. He was due and if I am Shanny, I tell this clown, one more hit to the head, it's a year off (or more)

I see your point, I just don't agree with it.
I was watching the Nashville/Detroit game and I really don't think Z's actions justify Weber's even if they might explain them. Suspension isn't, or at least shouldn't be, a zero-sum game.
As for Daniel Sedin's hit on Duncan Keith, I've watched that one a lot of times, because it has been brought up so often and I just don't see it. Yes, Daniel's shoulder hit Duncan's head: but it wasn't the target or primary point of contact. It was also part of the play at the time.
Duncan Keith's hit on Daniel deliberately targeted the head, wasn't part of the play, and if anything was revenge, not reaction. Big difference.
The best you can say for Shanahan is that he's failing to provide the appearance of consistency.
Where are all the suspensions that the Canucks have gotten away with. Edler, Burrows, Kesler, Weiss, Salo, etc. Refs have given Nuck players Game Misconducts and 5 minute majors, yet not once did they receive SD.

This is very said. I still think that WAR was the best pvp game out of all the sandbox games. I had a lot of fun in it back in 2008-2009. But Mythic and EA failed to make it a beast - they just tried to saturate the project and did not spend anything on it to improve the game.
Now I hope someone will make new Warhammer Darkomen.
I still remember the endless posts about how WoW stood for "Waiting on Warhammer",
How'd that work out?
It's too bad, really, for all that Mythic did a lot of things wrong and left the game a buggy mess even a year after release, they did a lot of things right. It was the first, and to date the only, MMO where I've enjoyed the PvP -- especially important as, by and large the PvE was broken and not very interesting when it did work.
Unfortunately I think PvP is inherently limited, far more so than PvE. The majority of PvPers are forever in search of a thrill no game can give them for long -- if, given the average skill level (or, more to the point, lack thereof), at all. Add in an extremely effective anti-ganking design -- which, sadly, will probably never be in another PvP game because it chases away far too large a chunk of the "PvP" market -- and inevitably the game's lifespan was going to be fairly short. It was one of the few, if not the only, games of its type to force Wolf-vs-Wolf PvP and make the typical, and generally unsustainable,l Wolf-vs-Sheep model unworkable. I doubt we'll see its like again.
To make matters worse, there was the IP. MMO makers really need to learn to stop trying to rely on a big-name IP as a tentpole to support their game. The IP itself is a two-edge sword. Yeah, you may sell some boxes based on "Warhammer" or "Star Wars" being on them, but no matter what you do you will never, ever, ever please the majority of fans and you will inevitably attract a large collection of vitriol filled experts who feel you've shat in their lunch by not doing things exactly as they would have and who will never, ever, ever, shut up about it. It's a no-win proposition, just not worth the cost.
Honestly they should have put this one out of its misery years ago, it has been a walking corpse for far too long. Still, I'm saddened to see it go.
The game was badly done in the beginning... when I picked up this game, I though I was going to explore the WHOLE FREAKING WARHAMMER WORLD! instead I got this PvP-oriented Empire vs Chaos thing going on with limited realms to go to as you progressed, and 2 capital cities on both sides, it's kinda stupid... This game was not worth my money after spending at least a month playing this game, it does not feel great what so ever. They failed to make it great and this is their reward, a struggled to keep it alive and finally it's on it's deathbed and soon it's funeral and burial with an unnamed tombstone.
sad day in mmo history. - wondered how F2P would of panned out for this great game.
looking forward to crusader!
I am surprised this lasted as long as it did, I thought this game was going to shut down much sooner.
IMO this is the biggest failure in MMO history if you consider cost and pre-launch hype (those videos look so painful to watch now).
I played it for the first month - it was horrible, clunky and unresponsive combat... death for any PvP game.
The fact that it lasted this long considering how badly it underperformed... mind boggling.
As far as F2P possibilities - EA I am sure did metrics on this - cost of converting the game vs interest and it simply wasn't worth it.
Honestly, Tier 1 at launch was some of the most fun and amazing MMO playtime I've ever experienced.
Sadly, after that is was all down hill.
I miss my Black Ork - I miss the RvR lakes when Tier 1 was super populated.
In retrospect, I think the worst decision they made on this game was world design.
Too narrow, each zone mirrored, each pairing separate... game would have functioned much, much better if it were less linear, more open world.
I should want to fight for my lands and crush those filthy Dwarves because they are my blood sworn, ancient enemy - not because they were the racial pairing chosen for my on-rails straight line progression...
Anyways, thank you EA Mythic for the good times, but shame on you for not making this game F2P a long, long time ago and finishing it / keeping it alive.
You (EA) could learn a few lessons from Square Enix and FFXIV - your name and your legacy is important - your reputation - it can be salvaged, it can be fixed. You have to put forth the effort and the $.
I played the game for nearly a year or so when it first came out. Loved my Squig Herder. One of the main problems I found though was that they never got a good handle on balancing classes. I remember for the longest time 1 BW and 1 healer could absolutely crush an entire opposing team and this lasted for 4+ months. Not sure why the dev team was so slow to react. But it was stuff like that,left unattended month after month that sapped many of our will's to play. I eventually was the last of my group of friends still playing more than once a week.
Sadly,this is yet again another case of "What might have been". Maybe it will serve as a warning to future game developers as to what not to do.
I don't understand people saying what a shame it is. I thought Warhammer Online was just trash, the Climax version just looked fantastic - from the PnP classes including Rat Catcher, to the movie clip showing a large open world in development, the various monsters and races, etc. Instead, what we got was the most incredibly linear, quest driven pile of drivel I'd ever played. The PvP was full of balance issues such as the Bright Wizard, while the combat areas were infuriating at best with pools of lava and hills that you would get stuck on.
The development should never have been taken from Climax, they had a true vision of the Warhammer world - instead, we got WoW-lite. As if WoW wasn't designed for children already, they then made a simpler version in the Warhammer Universe. I've played Warhammer since I was in my teens, from the 1st Edition Fantasy Battle to the PnP Roleplaying game. The world deserved better and if Games Workshop has decided to revoke the IP then I'm glad, perhaps we can put this embarrassment behind us and see a decent Warhammer Fantasy MMO in future days.
I didn't play this game at launch because it didn't have 3 factions, I ended up giving it a try several year later though. Boy was that a mistake, I ended up enjoying it a bit even with empty servers.
Such a shame seeing as there was so much potential, not un-similar to AoC and what that has become due to a horrific launch.

Understand me when I say what a shame it is. What a shame it is that it didn't get its IP yanked sooner-that way we could've had another Warhammer Fantasy RPG and maybe even an MMORPG.
Also: fixed it for you.
I agree that Climax's version was 127874745857% better. And it didn't have that horrible thing that just draws kids in to boot(PvP). Why did GW do such a fail decision and switch to Mythic is beyond me...

EA/Bioware/Mythic should be ashamed of themselves. The game had its problems, but they gave up on it, and its playerbase, far too soon. The majority of games that have come out over the last several years have had problems. The difference here is that the other game companies have put legitimate effort into improving those games, while EA and Mythic decided to pull the plug on real support after about a year. The RvR in WAR was actually a lot of fun, and the game could have been improved and salvaged. Shame on Mythic.
You actually have it backwards. It's not the developers who abandoned the game, it was the players who abandoned the game.
Mythic bought a five-year license with Game's Workshop to make games from their Warhammer universe. None of those games worked out.
Warhammer Online was launched in 2008 and since then has shrunk to under 50,000 subs.
How could Mythic think about purchasing an expensive license again if the player base it just not there to support it? These are similar cries to why Star Wars Galaxies failed. Had there been a giant player base there they would have ran SWG and SWTOR simultaneously.... but there wasn't.

Your comparison between AoC and WAR being the same is so amazingly inaccurate it makes me wonder if you played either game?
What can developers learn form this? Listen to your beta testers for starters. Second; Nothing will kill WoW, except Blizzard and not until they are good and ready.
Your opening sentence still blows my mind. I understand it is your opinion and you are entitled to it, but it is not often I see one so gloriously off base.
If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
Go to hell!

Too bad. I was never a diehard fan, but I did buy and play it for a few months. The game was rough, but certainly had a gritty charm about it. PvP tanks, collision detection, sword-wielding healers, coolest looking armors in any MMO to date (iMho), grudgebearers, ravens, blood, madness, and Skulls for the Skull Throne! They certainly got the dark warhammer atmosphere spot on in this game.
Even after I stopped playing, I kept checking up on it, hoping that it will go F2P. Alas! WAR, you will be missed.

Yes, indeed it does....

my situation is similar to dylanfm's as posted here:
A noob's desire to get it "right" the first timebut my question is about a different part of the site design.
We are just getting started with a new Rails app and we want to map it out in pretty good detail before we get going.
Our site is basically a online exam application where we will have 'semester's' and each semester will have its own set of questions, users, answers, etc.
There will be very little carry over between semesters, except the questions will be copied over.
The question I have is what would be the 'rails way' to divide these semesters up?
At first I was thinking of using a simple table/object for semester where each semester would have_many questions, users, answers ...
But because each semester is essentially its own entity, it seems like a bad idea to keep all the data from every semester in one big database.
Rather, it makes more sense to me currently to have each 'semester' basically be their own rails app, with their own database - keeping everything separated in that way.
Is this a good idea?
The admins of the site would have to be easily able to create a new semester, and if it was done as new rails applications, that would mean my over-all app would have to be able to generate new apps easily... which I haven't been able to glean much info of how that would be done.
So what is a better way to do this?
In my mind, the situation seems similar to how shopify.com operates: a user can go on and create their own 'site'. Each site has all the set-up to add/manage products, collections, etc, but the data between sites is never shared.
Would this be done by making the whole site a plugin?
i'm missing something important here
Thanks very much for any help
Jim V

A shotgun and a rifle found at Standley Lake High School in Westminster were discovered to be part of a home break-in close to the school.
According to Westminster police, around 12:50 p.m. on Feb. 20, a campus supervisor was conducting a routine school property check, when he found a shotgun and a lever action style rifle between two sheds near the athletic fields. At that time the school was put on "lockout" securing the school from anyone entering or leaving the facility.
Officers looked through the interior of the building and searched the outside premises of the school and surrounding area. Investigator Cheri Spottke said officers discovered a home in the 9000 block of 103rd Avenue that shares a fence line with the school had been broken into.
"Officers discovered two additional hunting rifles that had been thrown over the fence and were also on school property," Spottke said. "In addition to the guns, several personal belongings from the home were found in the area."
Police don't believe the weapons were a threat against the school, students or staff. Two juveniles who don't attend Standley Lake were contacted, but police haven't made any arrests and are looking into why they were on school property, Spottke said.
Students were released from school shortly after their normal end time and a few after school activities were cancelled. School resumed as normal the following day. Police are asking parents of Standley Lake to speak with their children and call police if they believe their child has any information about the burglary or who left the guns on school property.

"I'm a good person with a big heart," writes Bieber.
It's no secret that Justin Bieber has had a rough couple of weeks. But apparently he's just about had it.
The 19-year-old singer took to Instagram where he posted a tirade against the media. "Everyone has been telling me 'Keep the press happy' but I'm tired of all the countless lies in the press right now," he writes. The Biebs wants you to know he is NOT going to rehab, and his family is "beyond proud" of him, thank you very much.
He also takes the time to remind everyone of his vast accomplishments: "I'm 19 with 5 number one albums, 19 and I've seen the whole world. 19 and I've accomplished more than I could've ever dreamed of, i'm 19 and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning. I know my talent level and i know i got my head on straight. i know who i am and i know who i'm not My message is to believe."
He also writes that he "doesn't care" if you don't believe in him. "I'm a good person with a big heart. And don't think I deserve all this negative press I've worked my ass off to get where I am and my hard work doesn't stop here... All this isn't easy. I get angry sometimes. I'm human. I'm gonna make mistakes. In gonna grow and get better from them."
So there.
He also made fun of Lindsay Lohan and her financial problems in an earlier post that was quickly taken down. At the end of that post, he said, "to those comparing me to Lindsay Lohan look at her 2012 tax statements :)."
But he has apologized, telling TMZ, "My post was only up for a few minutes (10) but I realized right away that what I said at the end was wrong and distracted from what I was trying to say. ... I immediately deleted it and rewrote it so it would show what I was really feeling and those words are up now."
And just in case you forgot, the teen heartthrob's recent woes include having what he called the "worst birthday ever," being hospitalized after complaining of breathing problems during a concert in London last week, getting into an argument with paparazzi and a concert cancellation in Portugal.

Arriving in Riga, with the french we went to John Lemon pub where I was going the previous year with James to have breakfast. Finally most of the afternoon we spent chilling at their hostel, I used the opportunity to wash and use the net for free. Finally, I got a message from Chris with the address and appointment which we reached after having asked the exact location at the tourist office. There I met with Chris (HC:escarabajo) and Gerard (HC:trollgrubbe) his flatmate, both were pretty cool and really enthousiastic german architects working in Riga. Ralph (HC:rarom) and his girlfriend Anda (HC:justbe) where also their guests. So we were going to have a great week-end with lots of nice HC people.
We went back in town to meet and tour the city with the French for the evening and its only later for the dinner hour we had talked about (at 20h) that we went back to Chris, stopping by at the supermarket on the way for food and some things for the dinner (which has only been grapes and ice cream). Later by night I got in touch with James and I went out by myself to meet him at the backpacker guesthouse bar in town... Chris was finally there too as they missed their tram to go to the movies as they had plan to. I had some nostalgic moment with James talking about Carole and about lots of other things before finally we walked back to sleep, luckily we were walking the same direction for quite a while... which was nice as Riga isn't always the nicest place to walk by night (even if I do not care about that anymore).

Valerie Comer sets up the other stories so well that all roll into the setting, contest, and story world naturally. Nicole O'Dell delightfully closes with a heart warming read. Just loved it!
Wman4JCmiami, flAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Four Authors Bring the Perfect Combo Fun/Romance!May 3, 2013Wman4JCmiami, flAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Topaz Treasure is such an enjoyable read! Lyssa is a Christian, but is incredibly shy when speaking about her faith. Then she comes across Kirk Kennedy, her college professor who was cruel to her best friend. Could he possibly be the same guy she remembers from college? Or has his heart finally changed for the better? If only she didn't feel a connection whenever she sees him, she would happily bring up this uncomfortable conversation and get closure. There's an unexpected surprise in the story that makes it the perfect light-hearted read and there is indeed a treasure that gets found.
Beneath the Surface brings a story of opposites attract, with just the right amount of tension and sweetness. From hostility to humbleness, from heartbroken to healing; when Madison returns home after several years of being mostly absent she doesn't expect to make amends with her family. With the help of her sister's neighbor, adventures in geocaching, and lots of prayer, Madison realizes there's so much more than what appears on the surface.
Love's Prize took a little longer to get my interest, but I really enjoyed the romance here as it unfolds and the story overall adds perfectly to this book. Reagan is an accountant having some trouble at home so her brother invites her to stay with him for the summer. His friend and fellow law student, Colton, happily joins in the hopes that he will win the treasure hunt of geocaching while looking after Reagan. I completely relate to Reagan in bringing her camera along to capture the beauty and essence of looking for caches on their excursions. An unexpected twist in the story totally changes everything!
Welcome Home, Love (written by Nicole O'Dell) is dedicated to all the womenââ¬âold, young, and in betweenââ¬âwho struggle with low self-esteem and a poor body image. Having camped there most of my life, I know the stronghold well. May you rise up with wings of beauty and take flight with your Savior as He gazes upon one of His most beautiful creationsââ¬âyou.
With dedications like that, my heart is won over immediately. Hadley has recently lost A LOT of weight and is in the best shape of her life physically. However, her mind is still catching up to this new image. She still sees herself as "the fat girl" instead of seeing how beautiful she has always been. She has difficulty taking compliments, she is determined to prove herself and her new strength by winning the geocache treasure hunt, she has invested thousands of dollars to make this trip in the hopes that NO ONE will recognize who she was before, and she immediately catches the attention of two men. One that broke her heart in the past and the other an obvious player. Will Hadley come to realize how beautiful and special she is in the eyes of God? There's also a slight twist in this story and an adorable marriage proposal that goes wonderfully wrong!
Each of these stories beautifully convey messages of starting over, starting fresh, forgiveness, healing, adventure, romance, friendship, and love in the midst of one GREAT treasure hunt. I cannot pinpoint which one was best because each of them have amazing characters and obstacles to overcome. I highly recommend this book as it gives the perfect amount of clean romance, hope, fun and faith that will definitely enhance any booklover's bookshelf!

weatherlover1U.P MiAge: 35-44Gender: Female4 Stars Out Of 5Fun ReadJune 26, 2012weatherlover1U.P MiAge: 35-44Gender: FemaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4As I have said before the Romancing America series has fast become one of my favorites to read. This book is no exception. This book is told by four different couples over the same time frame. The four stories evolve around a geocaching adventure put on by a local church that lasts for the summer months.
What I liked: I really liked the whole book. My favorite story probably was the last one which has some good suspense and to be honest I was not expecting the outcome and that was a pleasant surprise for such a short story! I felt even though the four stories where not intertwined even thought they followed the same storyline setting that they where well written and fun to read and with the last story being suspenseful really make the ending enjoyable.
What I did not like: Honestly not much. The story was a little slow in one of the stories at times but still a good read.
Over all another good book in the Romancing America series and I highly recommend picking this one up. It's an easy read and a great one if you need to read a little here and there as with four stories you can stop and start a little easier. Check it out!

A 70th minute try from replacement Gavin Hume handed Perpignan a 19-18 victory against Toulouse at the Stade Ernest-Wallon.
A 70th minute try from replacement Gavin Hume handed Perpignan a 19-18 victory against Toulouse at the Stade Ernest-Wallon on Friday.
Toulouse fly-half Luke McAlister hit the post with his final penalty attempt in the 75th minute that could have clinched the win, having already landed six penalties throughout the match.
The fixture marked Guy Novès 1000th match with Toulouse as both a player and coach, but his side were unable to honour him with a victory as they remained in second place in the Top 14 following the defeat.
McAlister's kicking accuracy led to an 18-12 lead for the hosts with ten minutes remaining, before Hume struck with the winning try by collecting a grubber kick from David Marty to score, with Wales fly-half James Hook on hand to kick the crucial conversion.
His kick sealed Perpignan's first win away against Toulouse in 31 years, moving them up into 6th place in the table.

Skip to comments.Oak Lake waters recede, revealing guns
Posted on 01/14/2013 12:32:50 PM PST by posterchild
As the worst drought since 1956 gripped the nation last year, lakes and ponds slowly receded, revealing decades worth of dropped and discarded fishing tackle, pop cans and all sorts of flotsam.
At Oak Lake in Lincoln, the debris included at least two guns.
A person walking along the edge of the lake last summer spied a suspicious item and called Lincoln police, who found a handgun rusted beyond recognition.
That thing could have been in there for 50 years for all we know, said Sgt. Ben Miller.
After that gun turned up, officers Kevin Hinton and Jen Mullendore couldnt help but wonder what other secrets the mud may hold, Miller said.
They came up with a plan, and on Nov. 14, four members of Lincoln Police's Northwest Team spent 10 hours walking the exposed lake bed with metal detectors.
We dug several hundred holes that day," Miller said. "Anything that was giving us a significant tone, we dug up."
Ninety percent of what they found was fish hooks and pop cans, he said.
(Excerpt) Read more at journalstar.com ...
Hmmmm. Were those the guns that were lost when the canoe sank? ;)
When guns are outlawed...only lakes will have guns....
Not a clue where this actually is located.
40 hours of union government pay (probably OT) picking up tin cans & fish hooks.
Was any of this on private property?
""Anything that was giving us a significant tone, we dug up."
Ninety percent of what they found was fish hooks and pop cans, he said."
"Significant tone" from a fish hook? These guys have no clue how to use a metal detector!
Since it is the Lincoln Journal Star, in Lincoln, Nebraska and the article says Oak Lake in Lincoln, I have a guess.
Yep, that's where I lost them.
After that gun turned up, officers Kevin Hinton and Jen Mullendore couldnt help but wonder what other secrets the mud may hold, Miller said.
Gee. I thought that when they found the fishing tackle. Maybe there are some hammers and tools down there as well. These guys treat rusted guns like they were dropped from a UFO or something. They are just one of many tools that break, wear out, or are accidentally dropped into the lake.
It's not "rusted beyond all recognition" - pretty sure it's an ancient Crosman BB gun, probably a 150 or 106, with the barrel rusted off, just the air chamber still in place:
That's why they never mention the caliber or make -- it's a big nothing.
What a non-story.
***Ninety percent of what they found was fish hooks and pop cans, he said.***
LOL More like beer cans!
I wonder if the number of unsolved homicides = number of weapons found :)
Less than half of states have a town named Lincoln. 24 total. That should make it easier to figure out the location.
Skeleton found in Mountain Lake when waters recede
We dug several hundred holes that day," Miller said. "Anything that was giving us a significant tone, we dug up."
Ninety percent of what they found was fish hooks and pop cans, he said.
My reaction to this story wow! That really does happen ping!
Of course there was an episode of Alaskan State troopers where they went out to a call of some hunters in distress in a boat where the lost all their guns in the process .
Lincoln Nebraska, state capitol.
Let's see... "Oak Lake?" In "Lincoln!" That explains it. It's in California! Or is that Nebraska...or...?
Anyway, those boring folks were telling the truth after all, eh?
For THAT somebody calls the cops? What a weenie!
The boating accident that claimed all my guns was in really, really deep water ... unfortunately.
I looked over the entire website I did not see Nebraska anyplace.
Just think how many murders didn't happen because that gun was at the bottom of the lake.
That would be a distress call.... get a magnet!!
Not a big deal, but at the very bottom of the page at the link:

Hah! That's easy! Go to Colorado and look left! Or go to Iowa and look right!
Either one will get you to see Nebraska.
Flyover country!
If I go to Colorado and look left I am gonna see Utah....... you are trying to get me lost! :)
Either one will get you to see Nebraska.
With all due respect, wouldn't those directions get you to either Utah or Illinois?

Giving Visual Life to Pew's Polls
USA Today has produced a nifty interactive feature in which they've taken data from the Pew Forum's U.S. Religious Landscape Survey and represented it graphically. The "topography of faith" section is a simple map that provides a breakdown of religious and denomination affiliations by state. I scrolled over my home state of North Dakota (yes, I'm a tad bitter that they statistically lumped it together with South Dakota as if it were a territory…) and was surprised to see the large percentage of Evangelical Protestants. And, as you canvas the states, take notice of the gold "unaffiliated" bar.
The section breaking down religious beliefs gives you an integrated comparison of how different faith traditions and denominations within American Christianity responded to specific questions. Tip: use the sort by button.
Some of my interpretive observations about the subtleties of responses:
- People are optimistic, or, if you prefer, more willing to believe they'll be rewarded for their good deeds rather than being punished for their bad acts. More than 74% of the total population believed in a heaven where good people living good lives are rewarded; but 58% of the total population subscribed to the idea of hell where bad, unrepentant people are eternally punished.
- Only a majority of Jehovah's Witnesses (80%) and Mormons (57%) believe their religion is the one true path to eternal life.
- One group, the Buddhists, had a simple majority who believed that people should adjust their beliefs and practices in light of new circumstances.
- Almost all groups (sans the unaffiliated) pray regularly, with more than three-quarters of Evangelicals, Black Protestants, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses praying every day.
- Less than half of Hindus, Black Protestants, Muslims, Evangelical Protestants, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses
do notaccept homosexuality.
- Buddhists were the only group who didn't have a majority believing there are absolute standards for right and wrong.
Take a look and tell me what caught your eye.

ProtractorsEngineering & Drafting
By the end of the 18th century, protractors were routinely manufactured by machinery, with the invention of dividing engines, such as Jesse Ramsden's, particularly important for enabling the precise division of a circle into fractions of angles. Makers produced protractors that read minute fractions of angles, particularly when a vernier was added to the instrument.
Mechanics or machinists also used protractors to draw designs for new types of machinery. For instance, there were several forms of limb protractors for draftsmen that both functioned as T-squares and provided angle measurement. Similarly, protractors assisted with the preparation of architectural drawings. The instruments were only displaced by the advent of computer-aided drafting in the late 20th century.
"Protractors - Engineering & Drafting" showing 1 items.
Brown & Sharpe Draftsman's Protractor
- Description
- In the late 19th century, American draftsmen experimented with different designs for making protractors more versatile. For instance, the secretive machinist Samuel Darling, who operated a separate partnership with Joseph R. Brown and Lucian Sharpe of Providence, R.I., between 1866 and 1892, patented a "bevel and protractor" on July 19, 1887. This was a nearly circular protractor with an extended arm that slid along and rotated around a ruler.
- Alton J. Shaw, who apprenticed in the main firm of Brown & Sharpe, came up with a design that was less cumbersome than Darling's. Although Shaw filed for a patent one month before Darling did, Shaw's patent was not granted until August 2, 1887. His protractor consisted of a circle with an extending arm, cut from sheet steel, which fit on a groove within a three-sided square, also cut from sheet steel. An advantage of this protractor was its reversibility. Shaw assigned his patent to Darling, Brown, & Sharpe on August 19 in exchange for $75. The firm marketed the protractor for $6.50, or for $7.75 with a case. In its catalogs, Brown & Sharpe adopted the British spelling, "draughtsmen's".
- This instrument is an example of Shaw's design. The protractor is divided by single degrees and marked by fives from 0 to 90 in the clockwise direction. Thirty more unnumbered divisions extend past the 90° mark. A vernier on the frame allows angles to be measured to one minute of arc. The interior of the protractor is marked: Darling, Brown & Sharpe. (/) Providence. R.I. (/) Pat. Aug. 2. 1887. The protractor is in a wood and morocco leather case that is lined with purple velvet. The case has broken apart into at least three pieces. A worn instruction sheet (ID number MA*336072.1.1), dated August 1889, is stored with the object. The instructions indicate that a guiding lever, which was placed in two of the eleven holes at the top of the protracting circle, is missing from the object.
- Shaw later moved to Milwaukee, Wis., and then to Muskegon, Mich., where he established the Shaw Electric Crane Company. The company became Lift-Tech International in 1986. The Brown & Sharpe Mfg. Co. absorbed Darling, Brown & Sharpe in 1892. After over a century as one of the largest American machining firms, Brown & Sharpe ceased manufacturing machine tools and drawing instruments in 1991. The firm now manufactures optical measuring instruments as a subsidiary of Hexagon Metrology.
- This protractor was owned by the renowned American designer of steam engines, Erasmus Darwin Leavitt Jr. (1836–1916), and donated by his granddaughter, Margaret van D. Rice.

Have you ever wanted to see the Lincoln Memorial? Have you ever wanted to see the U.S. Capitol? Have you ever wanted to walk the famous Mall in Washington DC? Well, the Seniors at Henninger High School would like to experience a trip to our Nation's Capital. As Senior Class President I vowed to the students that I would do my best to provide them with a trip that will enhance their political and educational views. What better way than to see the White House, not just in a book but to be able to capture that moment with our friends and future graduates? The graduating class of 2017 is the largest in years. This a great class of hard working students. Personally, I am a South Sudanese student who came here for education. I came to the United States eleven years ago. There are many more successful students like myself graduating every year from Henninger High School. I never had the chance to see the White House or the many historical sites it has to offer.There are many things needed for a Government trip to Washington DC. As a school, we are financially unable to provide each student the hope of going to DC. As a donor, you can provide the students with the hope of seeing the Lincoln Memorial, seeing the Capitol building, and capture their memories with the White House as a background.If you could find a way to help support my class, this support will provide the students a safe place to stay during the week in Washington DC. It will give the students in depth learning of DC while having the experience walking the Mall. It will also allow transportation for the students there and back. As an immigrant, I would have the joy and privilege of being in our nation's capital. This means something to me because the United State provided me with knowledge, freedom, and safety. I would like to learn more about Washington DC and this great country's history. Below is the link to our Henninger Senior GoFundMe page. https://www.gofundme.com/Henninger2017toDC We thank you for your support. Your help is greatly appreciated.
