If I had lots of money, I would buy a property from wilmington nc real estate at SeaCoastRealty.com or spend each year in a beach destination like Bali in Indonesia.
I have yet to visit that country, so this is the closest I can get. Thanks you for these! I specifically asked my uncle to buy me these Indomie instant noodles just because it's ranked high on a top 10 instant noodle list. So spicy, I love it!
I was surprised to discover 5 flavor packets inside. How complicated for something instant.
And ta-daaa!
Just the thought of these noodles makes my mouth water. Someday I'll get to taste you again, Goreng Sate!

Study Of Primary Coverage Doesn't Show What O'Reilly Thinks It Does
Blog ››› ››› MARCUS FELDMAN
Tonight on his Fox News show, Bill O'Reilly hyped a recent study by George Mason University's Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) that covered stories on Republican primaries. O'Reilly said that, according to the study, claims that Fox News Channel "shills for the GOP" simply aren't true. From The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: A new study by George Mason University says that the three networks and Fox News are pretty much the same when it comes to scrutinizing the Republican field. Isn't that interesting? While the president and the Democratic Party believe FNC shills for the GOP, an academic study says that is not the case.
But as viewers of Fox know, any study purportedly showing a lack of bias in Fox's reporting should be met with skepticism. And there is certainly reason to be skeptical of the CMPA study. For one thing, they don't include specific methodology, other than to note that their researchers are trained to follow existing coding behaviors. For another, CMPA's president, Robert Lichter, is a former paid contributor for Fox News.
Then there is the issue that the study does not show what O'Reilly claims it shows. The study evaluated "ABC, CBS, and NBC evening news" but only looked at "the first half hour of Fox News Channel's 'Special Report.' " The coverage of the first half hour of Special Report, Fox's flagship "straight news" program, is certainly not representative of the entire channel, which has openly conservative opinion programming.
Of course, this study aside, Fox News has time and again shown that it acts as the communications arm of the Republican Party. Its programming is at times nearly identical to Republican National Committee campaign ads and it has a history of passing off Republican research as its own, typos and all.

It's taken a few months, but Colorado's Mile High Music Festival just finalized its stage schedule for the Aug. 14-15 music event at Dick's Sporting Good Park.
Here's the updated listing of bands and stages: http://www.milehighmusicfestival.com/images/stories/schedule/schedule-print.jpg
Mile High is doing everything to wrangle in concert patrons this year. The festival just started selling single day tickets — and now the fest added the new Beta Beach to the music mix.
Beta Beach will feature a wide array of electronic music artists including Second Sun, Dragon and Halo and Hipp E. Music fans will be able to catch cutting edge DJ's and electro artists — especially if they get tired of seeing the mainstream festival acts.
Stay tuned. I'm sure there will be more Mile High Festival news coming up.

1. how does a land covered in ice affect climate? why?
The ground is always at 0 degrees C or below which makes the air cold above it. (Of course it is the cold air which keeps the ice frozen)
There is not much water evaporated from the ice so there is little water vapor rising into the air from the ground. Unless there is water vapor blown in from elsewhere by wind, the air will be very dry (a cold desert like Antarctica). If there is a warm ocean upwind, the air will be moist and a lot of snow will fall (like Greenland).

You Asked, We Answer: Laser Tattoo Removal
A. Foley on 15 Oct 2012 at 11:00am
Did a summer vacation lead to an unwanted tattoo? Or are you simply regretting an inking decision made in your younger years? If so, you're not alone. One of the most viewed questions in our Q&A forum is, "When getting the laser removal for tattoos, does it leave a scar and will it get rid of the tattoo completely?"
We've pulled a few responses from RealSelf doctors to help you discover how to diminish the markings of body art. Though the $725 procedure has an 80% Worth It Rating, doctors do warn patients to have realistic expectations. Skin will be improved, but it will not be "good as new."
- Dr. George Beraka had three points to share: "1) Tattoo removal is often not complete. 2) The lasered skin can look bleached. 3) If the tattoo color is deep, and the laser is done very deeply trying to remove all the color, then you can get unsightly scarring."
- "Tattoo removal can be done in a number of different ways including surgical removal, dermabrasion (basically sanding out the tattoo pigments) or laser. By far the most common way to removal tattoos is by using laser. Lasers treat tattoos by using laser energy to destroy tattoo pigments." - Dr. Edward E. Dickerson
- "Superficial black tattoos are the easiest to remove and give the best results. Multicolored professional tattoos with ink placed deep in the skin may be incompletely removed by Laser Tattoo removal. Laser tattoo removal is most hazardous in pigmented skin, where normal skin pigment may also be removed in the Laser Tattoo removal treatments." - Dr. Mark Taylor
- "The proper tattoo laser can often remove the tattoo with very little scarring. We use the Spectra pulsed dye Yag laser from Lutronic. Unfortunately, this laser is more expensive than some other lasers that are in use and some unscrupulous providers use these lasers or even use modalities such as dermabrasion which will definitely leave a scar. As a patient you need to do your homework, look at before and after pictures and don't choose only based on price - you might be sorry if you are left with a scar worse than the tattoo P.S. It can take several treatments, we tell patients that with our laser, they should expect 50% improvement in the tatoo with each treatment." - Dr. W Tracy Hankins
Often with just a few treatments, doctors are able to lighten the tattoo enough to get a replacement one on top - if it's merely that specific image or tribute that is bothersome. But, if you're looking for a complete erase, you may need to hold out for developing technologies.
Did you find these responses helpful? If there's a question that wasn't addressed, give us a shout in the comments below!

"Comin Thro' The Rye" by Robert Burns
Comments (10)
It's interesting to note that Robert Burns was a rabid supporter of the slave trade.
I am wondering how to pronounce "draigl't a'"–that "gl" most difficult…
and thinking of Duncan's muthologies…
were you inspired to post this poem for any particular reason Travis?
the mind goes wild with association. especially via sound…
He posted it because Salinger died.
Great to see this here, posted ipso facto in honor not only of of Salinger's deathday but also of Robbie Burns' birthday two days earlier–for those who don't know, a huge national and global celebration of the poet and of Scotland. It's one of my favorite Burns poems (I have another posted for the occasion at my blog AmericanWitch http://annieridleycranefinch.blogspot.com/)
This has one of the best singing tunes of any of his poems imho, and it is one of the relatively few where female sexuality is celebrated in its own right..it really feels like a poem that could have been written by Jenny herself, coming through dew-wet fields early in the morning to slip into bed after a night out.
Thanks, Travis!
not just because salinger died, but as a belated reminder of robbie burns day, too, that's right, annie. you're not but senseless asses.
a death, even if it comes as late as jerry's (he was 91), is significant becauses it is the end of his authority.
by the way, annie, he was a great women's writer in other very singable songs–remember 'green grow the rashes': 'the wisest man the world e'er saw, he dearly loved the lasses' and 'auld nature swears, her lovely dears/her noblest work she classes/her prentice han' she tried on man/an' then she made the lasses.'
and john anderson is the prime example of singing the other part. sorry, to go on, but when it's your favorite writer…
Just because Salinger died.
that may well be so, Stephen– But then, who's to say that Salinger didn't die at that time because it was near Burns' birthday….
or not.
thank you james for evoking those other glorious songs/poems…
By the way, here's a quote from Franny and Zooey, which I bought by coincidence and decided to read for the first time a week before JDS passed….
"I know this much, is all," Franny said. "If you're a poet, you do something beautiful. I mean you're supposed to leave something beautiful after you get off the page and everything. The ones you're talking about don't leave a single, solitary thing beautiful. All that maybe the slightly better ones do is get inside your head and leave something there, but just because they do, just because they know how to leave something, it doesn't have to be a poem, for heaven's sake. It may just be some kind of terribly fascinating, syntaxy droppings—excuse the expression."
…. meaning, I think, that Franny would definitely have considered Burns a poet.

- - Skookum 34 (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/11783-skookum-34-a.html)
Skookum 34
I''m currently looking at buying a Skookum 34, designed by Ed Monk and built by Skookum Marine in Port Townsend, WA. It''s got a full keel with cutaway forefoot, displacement 20,600lbs, keel displacement 6,700lbs, OAL 37''6", draft 5ft, fiberglass hull, cutter rigged. I''m interested in any information on sailing characteristics, stability, known problems with the boat, anything that can help me find out more. Thanks.
Skookum 34
Without knowing the water line length it''s tough to say but that''s one heavy boat. Won''t do well in anything under 15 knots.
Skookum 34
That is one wildly overweight,grossly underballasted boat. Without knowing much more than the numbers, this sounds like a boat that would be useless as a sailboat in light air and terrible in heavier conditions as a result of its poor stability (shallow draft, narrow beam, and tiny ballast ratio) vs its high drag.
Skookum 34
It will go to weather like a haystack in any air and will not sit very well at anchor. Rock and roll baby!
Skookum 34
Now here is one time when we can all agree(I think) that this boat seems to be heavy in the wrong places.I am a fan of full keel cruisers but there are good designs and bad in all types.I must try and find more info myself because these stats are really amazing for a fiberglass/any boat.You should look down to see if there are not tracks or treads attached.
Skookum 34
I find all of your responses very interesting but not very helpful. Keep in mind that the Westsail 32''s displacement is 20,000lbs with a keel displacement of 7,000, draft of 5ft. Very comparable to the Skookum 34. It''s also known to be one of the greatest around-the-world cruising boats ever made. Seems like you''re jumping to conclusions pretty quickly for not having many facts.
Skookum 34
Found one <a href="http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/pl_boat_full_detail.jsp?slim=broker&boat_id=13 64451&hosturl=sas&&ywo=sas&&un its=Feet&access=Public&listing_id=1012& ;url=&hosturl=sas&&ywo=sas&"& gt;here</a href>. LWL = 27'' 6"
Skookum 34
The specs on the Skookum 34 are not out of line with a Westsail 32, Valiant 32, or even a Bob Perry Tayana 37 design. Similar displacement, similar draft, beam, etc.
I own a 45'' custom wood Ed Monk cutter and it is a superb sailing boat even at 20 tons. It''s not a light air boat, but it did log 180 mile days when it was cruised offshore. Hawaii 3x, 15 years in the South Pacific, Mexico, and Alaska. Similar design with a cutaway keel, attached rudder, double ender, staysail cutter design. Ed Monk designed fishing, yachts, commercial, and military boats for Northwest and Alaska waters. His designs are overbuilt and have beautiful traditional lines. The Skookum yard didn''t build many boats and used all glass layup, really solid construction. If you do a Yachtworld or Google search you can see a selection of Skookums, including fishing trawlers designed by Monk. I''ve seen some Skookum 53 boats up close at the dock and they look very comfortable cruising boats, but I have not been inside one. The 34'' has a short waterline and the double ended stern reduces the amount of available storage. The forepeak area and stern areas will be compromised. It may be a storage hassle factor on a long voyage but for 1-2 people I think it may be perfect cruising boat. Have a good survey done and a test sail as part of making the offer. Most people skip the survey part because of the cost and regret it later. The hull will probably survey perfectly, but need work on systems upgrading.
Skookum 34
That''s the one I''m looking at. :)
We went for a little test sail today on Puget Sound. Only 15 knots of wind but I was really impressed with the way she sailed. Pointed high and locked right in. Very well-behaved and smooth. She was faster than I thought she''d be. I think it''s time to meet the owner and then get a survey done. It''s a one-owner boat and I think this little girl is part of his family. I hope I pass his survey. :) He bought the hull and deck in ''73 and spent the next 12 years putting her together and finishing the interior before splashing the boat. He really did an excellent job and I''m interested in what a surveyor will find. Thanks for the reply. Are you still sailing your Skookum? I can''t wait to get this one offshore! :)
Re: Skookum 34
Hi, I am waybad and have a Skookum 34. The spec that I saw quoted are wrong unless some one did somthing odd. The boat is 34 feet. beam is 10' 10 inch, ballast is 6,000lbs, displacement is 18,500 lbs, Water line is 27' 6 inches It draws 5 feet. It is a full keel, but does not have a cut away forefoot. It just sloops straight to the bottom of the keel at shallow slope. Which makes grounding much safer. Imersion is aprox 1000 lbs down per inch. When loaded down the W/L is 28' plus I have a inboard rig with a 50' mast from waterline. It is sloop rigged, but have the stay for a staysail. It sails well, its comfortable in the ocean, but is not a real light air boat, but it was not designed as a racing boat. I have to reef if winds are steady above 15 knots. I do not have a bow sprit, which I may add someday so I can drive it harder. I sailed in BC Johnston straight with 40 knots of wind triple reef main and storm jib and we were close hauled all day. It was a comfortable ride in 6 foot seas very close to geather over one, under one and threw one. It was a fun day. We were the only boat out their. We felt very safe in this solid built boat. It is heavy boat by todays standard. The stern wave slows this boat down a bit so I can only get 6.2 knots when everything is perfect. I have the original drawings. You can get them from Ed Monk JR.
Good Luck. Later Waybad

Water Monitoring and Flow Measurement Systems for Hydrology
In recent years acoustic flow measurement and flow metering has established itself as the standard method for measurement in many hydrological stations but is also used as the basis for various applications, for example for flood protection and flood forecasting. Ultrasonic flow meters are also used in hydro-engineering constructions. With this almost contact free technology data can be recorded continuously and it provides 24/7 monitoring. Such flow monitoring is particularly important in waterways used for shipping, transportation, irrigation, drainage and for cooling water extraction of power plants. A further important use of transit-time open channel flow meters is the transportation of water used for the supply of drinking water. Here the focus lies on detecting the flow rate of water loss at an early stage as it is sometimes difficult to detect small leakages.

Brian Smith spent Valentine's Day cherishing the love of his life: speed.
On a runway built for landing Space Shuttles, the single Miller Motorsports Park director drove a two-seat sports car at an unseen-on-this-Earth speed of 270.49 mph. And he was still accelerating when he had to begin braking.
"When you're running 270, you're basically covering about one-and-a-half football fields a second," Smith said. "You can run out of room pretty quick."
Smith was chosen for the Hennessey Venom GT's record-setting drive at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., because of his experience as a race car driver and, in particular, as a Michelin tire tester. Not only can Smith drive fast, he said, but he knows how to collaborate with engineers to make a vehicle go faster.

I'm 5'6 136lbs athletic like build and like long walks along the shore lol No seriously! I'm a proud mom that breast fed for a year and well the girls went from 34-A to overflowing DD's then 34-C after nursing and just like magic they changed back to my current size of 34-A. I had some issues with leftie getting clogged during breastfeeding, it would even swell up a cup size bigger than righty. Nevertheless, I came out of this kind of droopy on that side as you will be able to see from my pictures. I'm sure the weight fluctuation didn't help either. I gained 60lbs while pregnant and lost it within a few short months. Running keeps me sane! I was always interested in BA but didn't think of it seriously until a few months ago. I have a thick and curvy lower half but two bee stings on top!! Out of sheer curiosity I started researching online and scheduled a few consultation appointments with well recognized boob masters here in plastic surgery central Miami, FL.
I've been bipolar with the amount of cc's because well I am built like a linebacker and don't want to end up too small (I have a wide chest) or looking top heavy with huge boobs that will affect my running/working out. I already went to my pre-op appointment. Paid $2130 and got all of my Rx's to fill. So far I'm just searching for pictures to give him and see what he says. I initially told him mid C but I think I am open to full C to small D. Size or ccs don't really matter to me at this point. As long as they are proportionate to my body and I can remain being active.
I look forward to hearing everyone's stories and sharing my own :) Wish me luck!! 16 days 22 hours to go!!

Deschutes County Records Inventory
Assessment and Tax Rolls
Series documents the assessment of real and personal property, the determination of tax liability, and the collection of county taxes. Assessment, tax, and delinquent tax records are variously labeled as rolls, lists, or summaries. Records show property owner; description and value of urban and agricultural land, personal property, and livestock; assessments, equalizations, and taxes due; and notations on payment and delinquency in payment of taxes. Beginning with 1900, counties have only been required to retain permanently those assessment and tax rolls for years ending in "0" and "5."

I'm an avid reader, often reading a couple books in a day. I particularly enjoy Science Fiction and Fantasy novels. I'm not a writer, but I have read a lot. I'm here to read some of the new authors out there, and see if I can find some gems among the ebooks rather than the more typical established authors.

Smashwords book reviews by John Phillips
The Rules. Book 1; The End
on Oct. 04, 2013
An interesting enough tale, but written mostly as a series of single sentences, kind of odd. Paragraphs are OK, really. I gave it four stars for the story, but three and a half would be closer overall. For free, this is a good read. The author should continue to write, as long as your story is good, the rest of it can be fixed with practice. I look forward to reading your next one.
NexLord: Dark Prophecies
on Oct. 09, 2013
A buddy of mine recommended this series, and I'm glad he did! What a wonderful story. The characters are great, the action flows quickly, and what a twist at the end! Can't wait to read book two. Also note, I read the other review here, and I did not notice many editing issues in this book. I went to check the date of publication, and noticed that this is a second edition. Looks like it has been edited since that review. If I was going to criticize anything, it would be the stress on friendship, but since this turned out to be the basis of the unique magic system, all is forgiven. Five Stars, it's that good.
NexLord: Black Chains
on Oct. 10, 2013
This book continues right where the first one ended, and it also continued the good story telling and awesome characters. I LOVE the humor, and the climax, though quite different than the first novel, was kind of chilling. I didn't see it coming. Sorry, can't spoil it. I'm very curious where this is going. Can't wait for the third book. These are page turners, I finshed the first book the day I bought it, and the second one the next day. And, on the grammatical errors noted in Karhleen's review, in this new edition, that seems to be cleared up. Smooth sailing, great book. One of the best ebooks I've read. On to book three!
NexLord: Grim Realities
on Oct. 11, 2013
First off, don't read Karhleen Woody's review until after you read the book, she unkindly included spoilers. I'm sorry I did before reading it. Now, onto my impression of this novel. It was definitely the best book of a great series. I couldn't put it down, and LOVED the many plot twists. There is a chapter that the author should have named 'revelations', it was a blast! The climax of the Nexlord series was spectacular. This is not just a good read, but one of my favorite series now. Book three really delivers. Final note, and I only mention this because of another review, this is a new Edition and has obviously been edited since Karhleen reviewed it. I highly recommend this series. I hope the author keeps writing!
Cathexis: Necromancer's Dagger
on Oct. 15, 2013
I finished the book (late) last night. Good page turner. I loved the author's Nexlord series and had to see if this was as good. This one starts a little faster, with a lot of people, but the story flows nicely, and I love the characters. The magic system is unique, and well thought out. There is some good humor as well. I am finding this world to be quite interesting, and can't wait to see where the adventure goes in the next book. The cathexis metal, for which the series is obviously named, is also interesting. I highly recommend this read.
Cathexis: Conspirator's Coin
on Oct. 29, 2013
Like in his Nexlord series that I really enjoyed, this second novel deals partly with kids, and this author really knows how to write them well. If anything this second novel in the series is better than the first, so I give it six stars! (Though the rating below only allows 5). I really enjoyed the characters and emotion of this book, not to mention chilling evil, and a wonderfully developing epic story. We'll worth the read, and you will run right to the next book, as I am doing today. I finished this book the same day I purchased it, it's a page turner.
Cathexis: Sorcerer's Ring
on Oct. 30, 2013
Book three really delivered. The climax was epic and amazing. There were a lot of plot twists, and like the first two books, the characters were amazing. I feel like they are my friend's now. This had such a great climax that I am curious where it is going, but I would spoil things if I speculated. On to book four! I highly recommend you read the series.
Cathexis: Desecrator's Sword
on Oct. 31, 2013
A very satisfying conclusion to a wonderful series. This epic story gets tied up in a nice gift box, and it is everything you wanted. This series was one of the best reads I have had in some time. Read it, you will find a great romp through a great fantasy world. If I was going to complain it would be to say I'm sorry its over.
zONE: The End and the Beginning
on March 08, 2014
What a fun story! I loved the 'pirate ships'. There were some great twists toward the end, and a lot of fun along the way. I love the references to all the other works (movies, books, etc), including getting to briefly go to to some of those universes. A nice mix of Science Fiction and Adventure, with some fantasy and pirate stuff thrown in. Definitely an enjoyable read.

What to do?
The right side of my 13 yr old toro ztr went out. I chose not to replace it bc it would cost me more than what I paid. I know have this mower and don't know what to do with it.
I figure I could always post on CL and see if I can get a couple hundred bucks, or part out.
The thing is that the engine is fairly new (4 yrs or so) and everything but the right side hydro is fine.
I've already got something new, but wondered about converting this to a go kart or something else "fun". Any ideas?
FWIW- I should add that it was going to cost $1500 to replace and over $600 to repair, so my budget is under that amount.
Sounds like a great time to learn how to repair a hydraulic motor.
I would at least do an autopsy to further my understanding of hydraulic motors. But I do stuff like that mainly to get out of doing real work.
Do you have any idea what I could sell it for on CL? Obviously it's an expensive fix, but I'd assume its worth something.
Selling it on CL is a crap-shoot.
If you're going to go that route, spend an hour perusing CL in various cities, looking for mowers exactly like yours. You might find a starting point. The bottom line, though, is that you MIGHT get a couple hundred bucks out of it.
Good luck!
I know a guy in Iowa, not far from Omaha, that will take the the structure of the thing off your hands.
His family grows acres, and acres, and acres, and acres of non-edible corn. Some for corn syrup and some for ethanol. You or your pet cow bessy could not eat the corn grown directly.
My guy has a graveyard full of engines and things he pieces back together. Ethanol has eaten most rubber and plastic parts. He makes some really cool super fixed John Deere lawn tractors.
He does alright putting machines back together. When he has time not growing fuel that will kill them. He understands the total boombdoggle irony of his situation.
Dr. Hicks will come unglued again but I swear, you cannot run ethanol through a small engine.
- Steven
...and I ran ethanol through John Deere mowers for a decade, doing commercial lawn-care, without one single ethanol-related problem. So it can be done. :)
Take it apart and see how it works, you might find that it is a simple fix and you can repair it.
If not take the rest of it apart and sell the pieces on ebay.

His name is Qari Saifullah Akhtar, and he has openly boasted of his contempt for the United States and admiration for the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Akhatar, previously was held for questioning in assassination attempts on Benazir Bhutto and former President Musharraf, but he is now a free man having been asked to depart from his jail cell. Akhtar allegedly ran terrorist camps to train Taliban warriors, and most experts believe his ties with Al-Qaeda are close and his determination to sabotage peace efforts in Afghanistan are well known. A few days after Governor Taseer of Punjab was killed by one of his "security guards," a known militant has been given a get-out-of-jail card. The leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hafiz Saeed, who most probably helped plan the attack on Mumbai is now a free man. President Obama constantly insists we have the stay the course in Afghanistan even though as long as Pakistan militants roam free there is scant probability of any sort of "victory" in that country.
The bottom line is American foreign policy is based on the assumption Pakistan can play a vital role in peace efforts although the evidence is overwhelming Pakistan is part of the problem, not the solution. Either the US secures cooperation with Pakistan or we discover some other approach to secure peace in the region. Frankly, we are stuck in Pakistan just as we are stuck in Afghanistan.

Neti Pots Kill People: That Per "Officials" in Charge of Water in Louisiana
December 16, 2011 at 9:03 PM Leave a comment
"Officials" responsible for tap water in Louisiana blame deaths from contaminated water there on a ceramic pot. No, I'm not kidding:
The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals has issued a warning about improper Neti pot use, which has been linked to two deadly infections.
A 51-year-old woman from DeSoto Parish and a 20-year-old man from St. Bernard Parish, a suburb of New Orleans, died after using Neti pots containing tap water to flush their sinuses. Both became infected with Naegleria fowleri, a parasite known as the brain-eating amoeba.
"If you are irrigating, flushing or rinsing your sinuses, for example, by using a Neti pot, use distilled, sterile or previously boiled water to make up the irrigation solution," Louisiana State epidemiologist Dr. Raoult Ratard said in a statement. "Tap water is safe for drinking but not for irrigating your nose."
Tap water is safe for drinking but not for irrigating one's nose? A ceramic pot is the lynch pin in all this?
That makes no sense.

Police confirm USC players involved in downtown brawls
Mon., March 18, 2013, 12:16 p.m.
Spokane Police have confirmed two University of Southern California basketball players were involved in a series of fights that left four people hospitalized last week.
Spokeswoman Monique Cotton said in an email that police are not releasing the names of the players involved as they have not been arrested or charged.
The university however announced the suspension of 7-foot-1, 260-pound James Blasczyk and 7-foot, 255-pound Dewayne Dedmon from all team activities because of a violation of team rules.
Cotton said the department is in contact with the university and will be sending two detectives to California to further investigate the incident.
The USC Trojans were staying in Spokane following a 76-51 loss to Washington State University in Pullman on March 9.
Noel Macapagal, an employee and former owner of The Wave Island Sports Grill and Sushi Bar, said the brawls apparently started early on March 10 after an argument between the players and an employee of The Wave inside the Marquee Lounge at 522 W. Riverside.
Macapagal said one of the employees was knocked out cold, a female employee suffered a broken nose and another had a broken jaw.
The fight broke up, but Macapagal joined the employees and they later located the players at the Satellite Diner at 425 W. Sprague Ave.
He said one of the players started hitting people in a crowd outside the restaurant, and a bystander got knocked out.
"The player was kicking the guy who was down," Macapagal said.

My shotgun is Remington Sportsman 58, 20-ga. with standard 12-ga. steel receiver that has 0.210" tickness on top. Can I drill and tap 2-holes (all the way trough) on top of receiver to mount pickatinny base 2" long for Burris Fast-Fire sight? Will these holes weaken the receiver ?
The screws that will hold pickatiny will be 6-48 and flush on the inside of the receiver and 7/8" apart.
I use mostly 3" 1-oz shells in this shotgun at 1330fps factory loads of steel shot.
Thank you,

It seems obvious that the Miami herald has an agenda to persue. A retorical question comes to mind, what ever happened to reporting the facts (news)?
This is a discussion on It begins: Counter attack on Stand Your Ground within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Front page of the Miami Herald yesterday deals with the death of 9 year old Sherdavia Jenkins and how her death is somehow attributable to ...
Front page of the Miami Herald yesterday deals with the death of 9 year old Sherdavia Jenkins and how her death is somehow attributable to the Stand Your Ground provision. According to the Herald, the two defendants, Damon "Red Rock" Darling and Leroy "Yellowman" Larose are planning to use this law to skip ccharges and go free. These two "outstanding citizens" decided in July 1, 2006 to have a shootout for reasons unknown and in the process they killed Sherdavia Jenkins.
Chapter 776.013 2C states that Justifiable Use of Force does not apply if "The person who uses defensive force is engaged in an unlawful activity or is using the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle to further an unlawful activity."
Now, at least one of the defendants,Damon "Red Rock" Darling was convicted of selling, manufacturing & delivering Cocaine. So in other words, the "gentleman" was a felon prohibited to have a weapon and thus not legally covered by the new law. And the crux is that the Miami Herald knows it well! How so? In an article published on August 22nd of this year they say so:Now is election time and Anti Gunners are dragging the parents of Sherdavia Jenkins in a tour de force through the usual Liberal suspects:But the law includes a clause prosecutors hope will blunt its effects in stray bullet cases. It doesn't cover anyone ``engaged in unlawful acts.''
Prosectors in the Jenkins case believe the language should prevent defendants Damon ''Red Rock'' Darling and Leroy ''Yellowman'' Larose from using the new law.
At the time of the shooting, Darling was a felon and prohibited from carrying a gun. Larose, say police, was in the area to buy drugs.
Article "New defense law may benefit killers", Aug 22, 2006 by BY SUSANNAH A. NESMITH And NICOLE WHITE(Bolds are mine, The Miami Herald apparently forgot to add their political status for some reason or another <snicker>)So David and Sherrone tell their story. They have told it to state Rep. Dorothy Bendross-Mindingall, D-Miami. To gubernatorial candidate Jim Davis (D). To former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno. To U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek.(D)
It is clear to me that they don't want to see the killers of this poor little girl in jail but to see the law demolished. If they had any sense of justice, they would be making damn sure that those to "outstanding" citizens pay dearly for their crimes but I am afraid that they are actually hoping (or maybe scheming) for the case to go bad and the criminals to go free so they can achieve their political victory.
Wayne LaPierre said something that I think applies to AntiGunners:
"I've come to believe he (Clinton) needs a certain level of violence in this country. He is willing to accept a certain level of killing to further his political agenda."
So does the Miami Herald

Canary in the mine. The main section of the nation's most-popular papers have long been the Entertainment Section, not the News. The guidepost is the entertainment value, not the newsworthiness.

I'm convinced it's not an overt plan by papers to subvert the people; rather, the people would simply continue to stop purchasing papers at all if they were merely newsworthy.

The frustrating thing (one of them!) about the media, and press in particular is - ''spin''.
They can (could) report with truth and non bias - or they can apply max spin to suit their agendas. The latter is mostly what we see and the sheep just eat it right up with little or no questioning.

The way the media has stabbed common folks in the back is shameful.

What confuses me is that we DO have the ability to give this country the conservative base it needs to continue on...before 'total' internal destruction arrives, but this large group does not get out to vote!
We have the votes, definitely the majority of people in this country are conservative type people...but they don't see the future problem facing them head on...wake up folks.

This could be a good thing. From what has been presented here, the court will likely hold that the perps were not protected under the law as you have eluded to. That will test the law and set precedent so that other cases of this nature will not be pursued or will be sumarily dismissed.
I hope that will be the case, but you never know for sure until the descision is handed down.
When you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow. Semper Fi.
sgtD, if the case was tried anywhere else but Dade (Broward and West Palm too), I'd agree, but i wouldnt pass Catherine Fernandez Rundle (Miami-Dade top DA) to have the case lost to make a political gain.

Yeah, up here we have the Orlando Sentinel guarding the fortress of PC liberal misinformation. They ran an article a while back that I saw in a leftover paper at a coffee shop I frequent. It featured this case and several others where violent gun toting murderers were going to walk because of this senseless law. In this case it does not apply and the other cases they quoted where a few valid self defense situations that would have passed anyways.
I guess they'd be happier if the scumbags ruled the streets so then they could revile the politicians for not providing us with enough police, who will need more tax money, who send people before judges who let them off, because the overcrowded prisons need more tax money, to get back on the street. Sort of like the local rapist/murderer who just got caught after getting probation a few years ago for a rape?
Sorry, getting off the thread here. Just wish these news papers would try just reporting the facts, maybe then people would actually trust them? Or prosecutors actually apply the laws justly and fairly? Do they remember the idea of "public servant"?
Sorry, I'm just venting some excess cynical steam......

Yeah that could be a problem... They're sheep in perpetual condition white. They have no awareness of their surroundings or the law.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, I'd like to help you with your question.
It sounds like your cousin may be grieving. In grief, people can express themselves in different ways. Grief has five stages, which include:
Denial- happens when we first learn of a loss. The feelings are so overwhelming that we block them out to protect ourselves emotionally until we have time to adjust.
Anger (the stage your cousin is in)- occurs when we being to realize what has happened. The feelings are overwhelming and hard to cope with so we turn them around and try to find an outside source to blame. It can be the doctor who told us our loved one died or a relative or friend. We blame so we can deal with a loss that has no explanation. We try to find a source that can be faulted so we have something to focus on.
Bargaining- when we feel vulnerable from our loss, we try to find ways to gain control again. We do this by trying to bargain our way out of the loss. Making deals with God, saying you'll be good so the situation will change. These things are ways to try to make the loss seemingly in our control
Depression- any loss can cause depression. Sadness, crying, loss of appetite, and trouble sleeping are common. This is when we begin to accept the loss and the reality of it hits us. The danger is when we feel so bad we want to hurt ourselves. Then professional help is needed.
Acceptance- this is when we are able to accept the loss and we start to deal with it. It is not about being happy about the loss, but more an accepting and calmness about it.
Your cousin is in the anger phase. She is looking for ways to blame others and she is becoming destructive. Has anyone tried to confront her? Acknowledging her pain and recognizing that she needs to face it is something she needs to be told. Is she willing to get help? A good start would be for her to see her doctor. Medications can help her feel calmer and give her a chance to get help.
Does she attend church? Maybe her pastor could talk with her. And someone can also talk with her daughter. She needs to know that her mom is not doing well and that what she is doing is not right. The family can offer support to her by offering to take her for a few days at a time to give her a break. She may be grieving as well and not be sure how to handle this.
Counseling is the best idea for your cousin. She needs to talk out her anger and grief. If she is willing, have her see someone. Here is a link to find a therapist:
Support groups also help a lot. If she can talk with others who have got through the same experience, then she can start to heal.
Also, the family can resist her actions. Don't allow her to act out. When she does, leave the room. As long as she feels free to hit and lash out, then she will continue. Tell her that she is not allowed to hurt anyone else.
Understanding your cousin's grief would help. By understanding what she may be experiencing, the family can approach her in different ways to see what works. Here are some resources to get you started:
On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler
Getting to the Other Side of Grief: Overcoming the Loss of a Spouse by Susan J. Zonnebelt-Smeenge
Awakening from Grief: Finding the Way Back to Joy by John E. Welshons and Dr. Wayne Dyer
You can find these books on Amazon.com or your local library may have them for you.
Let me know if I can help any further,
Since she won't get help or listen to reason, the best option is to leave her alone. Make sure she knows that you care about her and that when she is ready, you will be there for her, but otherwise don't come near her unless you need to. Unless she is doing something like threatening to hurt herself or someone else, you can't control her. She is an adult and unfortunately, she has the right to act out until she does something either against the law or something she can be hospitalized for.
If she won't cooperate with counseling, you and your family can still go. Talking to a therapist can help you cope with what she is doing. You can learn ways to handle her behavior and how to best respond. It will also help you and your family with the stress.
Her daughter also needs help. If you can work it out, have her attend counseling too. Or at least join an on line support group and try some of the other resources I recommended. That way, she won't feel so alone and will have an outlet for her feelings.
Also, put limits on your cousin's behavior. Start responding by not responding. By that I mean you can leave when she acts out, limit how much contact you have with her and generally respond in a loving but limited way. Your mum needs protected so have someone there with her when your cousin is around. Act in such a way as to protect yourself and your family members. This may also help your cousin see her behavior in a different light if everyone is reacting to her behavior in this manner.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Junk Drawer table at the Chicago Zine Fest. It was fun with Guess the Odds & Ends. Some people submitted their junk drawer items, by writing them down. These will eventually be compiled into a zine of collected odds & ends. It was a really welcoming atmosphere all weekend.

100 Thousand Poets for Change is Back for a Second Year
Peace and sustainability are the themes of this year's 100 Thousand Poets for Change, an event with the goal of bringing environmental, social, and political issues to the forefront of the global conversation. On September 29th, poets and artists will gather at venues around the world to read, play, dance, and flashmob in the name of change. This year's events include an Occupy Wall Street poetry reading in the Big Apple, peace gatherings in Afghanistan and Syria, and a blues festival in New Orleans. 100 Thousand Poets for Change was co-founded by poets Michael Rothenberg and Terri Carrion, and is headquartered in California. In 2011, it was deemed the largest poetry reading in history. To get involved in the events or to stay up-to-date, go here!

ninja met Yo-Landi a decade ago, and they began work on a rap group five years ago, before finally unveiling Die Antwoord in 2008.
ninja, a stop that caused a minor blockade on Oak Street, serves one of the most experimental po-boys—a sashimi creation.
"Interscope seemed like they were crazy—Dr. Dre, [Marilyn] Manson, all those guys," says ninja.
Oh, and ninja would love nothing more than to collaborate with one of his music idols: Celine Dion.
In fact, they are semi-open fakes; Vi$$er and ninja are a married couple, with children and formal education between them.
She is as confident over the phone as she is climbing across one of ninja Warriors many daunting obstacles.
The 24-year-old Spoek Mathambo approaches both vocals and music with a cooler, more minimalist attitude than ninja and friends.
Can Kacy Catanzaro be the first woman to win 'American ninja Warrior'?
He was gonna join the fight, you know, really he was, got his ninja getup fitted and everything.
During a bizarre interview with The New York Times , "they played Celine Dion at the end," says ninja.

The Iowa Lakes Community College Men's and Women's soccer teams took a break from their three-a-day workouts to work with young people at the Spirit Lake YMCA August 14 and 15.
Nearly 50 Laker soccer players worked the camp helping the young players to develop a love for the game while developing some basic skills and, of course, having some fun.
"It's important that these young players have a good time and get to be around some players who compete at the collegiate level," Head Soccer Coach Ammon Bennett said. "I think our college players can be such a good role model for these kids. It really is a lot of fun for the youngsters and our college kids have a good time doing it."
The highlight of each day was the scrimmage of all the campers against the coaches. For this segment, each of the coaches had to link up arm-to-arm with another coach to play!
"The campers came out victorious scoring two goals each day," he said. "We really had a lot of fun and look forward to next year."
Laker Soccer Student-Athletes helped run a soccer camp held at the Spirit Lake YMCA Aug. 14 and 15.

Last May, it was reported that the Southeastern and Atlantic Coast conferences, presumably acting independently, told BYU's football program in so many words that it wasn't good enough. The SEC and the ACC decided that football games against independent BYU don't count in their mandates that their member schools play at least one BCS-level non-conference opponent a year.
The news reverberated around Provo and the rest of Utah for days, and BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe immediately responded that he would like to have a word with SEC commissioner Mike Slive and ACC commissioner John Swofford.
Well, Holmoe has done that.<

EWS students outdo general counterparts
Students belonging to the economically weaker section (EWS) category have done better than their general category counterparts in most Delhi schools.delhi Updated: Nov 29, 2012 23:55 IST
Students belonging to the economically weaker section (EWS) category have done better than their general category counterparts in most Delhi schools.
To encourage these students, Prachi Educational Society, an NGO, has decided to felicitate them. "It is a challenge but we are extremely optimistic. Some of the children in the EWS category are very bright academically, especially in subjects such as mathematics and science. We provide extra classes so that they get additional help," said Rita Sen, principal, Delhi Public School (Rohini).
However, some principals said keeping pace with studies was difficult for such students since English proved to be a barrier. "It has been noticed that these students can cope up till class 2, but thereafter some of them find it difficult to continue the momentum because their ability to understand English and other subjects taught in English becomes a barrier," said Madhulika Sen, principal, Tagore International School (Vasant Vihar).
Yet, there are other schools which provide remedial English classes and conversation classes to EWS category students.
"We provide remedial English classes, wherein students stay back after school for free English coaching. There is a conversation teacher who teaches them how to speak in English," said Usha Ram, principal, Laxman Public School.
However, Ameeta Wattal, principal, Springdales School (Pusa Road), begs to differ. "It is absolutely incorrect to say that English is a barrier. As long as the child can communicate, language is not even an issue."

When alt-rock stops working for them, veterans of the genre usually look to the past. There's the retro futurism of 1970s-rooted electronica, or even mustier options such as lounge ballads, torch songs and rockabilly.
It's no surprise that Hamilton Leithauser, who performed Sunday evening at the not-eponymous Hamilton, looked to pre-synth styles. The musician's longtime band, the probably defunct Walkmen, was trending in that direction on its less punky later albums.
Leithauser's 50-minute set had a few built-in disadvantages. The singer-guitarist performed songs only from his new solo debut, "Black Hours," forgoing better-known Walkmen material. Also, he was backed by just five musicians, who weren't equipped to reproduce the full sound of his more grandly arranged new tunes.
But the Brooklyn-based Leithauser could hardly have faced a friendlier crowd. He grew up here, and was backed by what he called "my all Washington, D.C.-native band," including onetime members of the Walkmen, French Kicks and Jonathan Fire*Eater.
Leithauser has said that "Black Hours" was initially conceived as a Frank Sinatra homage, before co-producer Rostam Batmanglij (of Vampire Weekend, and another D.C. native) pushed it toward a more rock-oriented direction. But as a singer Leithauser is not a smoothie — there's often a burr in his voice — and he sometimes pushes his baritone much higher.
Sunday's set opened with "I Retired," a chugging country-rocker in which the musician went straight for the falsetto. The only number that emphasized his crooner ambitions was the Tindersticks-like "5 A.M.," during which he held a note long enough to draw applause from fans of athletic vocalese.
Instrumentally, the principal non-rock timbre was provided by a marimba, interjected occasionally by guitarist Paul Maroon. Since Maroon's guitar sound tends to be chiming, the marimba didn't dramatically expand the quintet's range, although it did accentuate "The Silent Orchestra's" Caribbean-style lilt. Pianist Nick Stumpf (Leithauser's brother-in-law) also played multiple instruments, adding percussion to some tunes and becoming the group's third guitarist for "The Smallest Splinter."
That brooding song, like the jauntier "I Retired," seems to be about someone who's defeated or retreating. Yet despite the melancholy lyrics, Leithauser's recent material doesn't feel confessional.
He went directly from "I'll Never Love Again," with spouse Anna Stumpf on backing vocals, to "In Our Time (I'll Always Love You)" — a segue he allowed was "a little awkward." In fact, the transition exemplified Leithauser's current project, which is a bit clinical. His "Black Hours" songs are solidly crafted, yet neither distinctive enough to compete with their models nor sufficiently personal to prevail on sheer emotion.

Kristine Wright and Michelle Brunell, owners of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving parts of eastern Jackson County, including Lee's Summit, celebrated 10 years of service to area seniors and their families.
Members of the community were invited to help Wright and Brunell and their staff members celebrate the milestone during an open house May 7 at the Home Instead Senior Care office located at 233 S.E. Main Street in Lee's Summit.
Home Instead Senior Care helps seniors who want to remain in their homes as they age by providing home helper, personal and Alzheimer's/dementia care. The local company was founded in April 2004 as part of a franchise network.
"We started this business, because we think it's important for seniors and their families to have options when it comes to their long-term care," Wright said in a statement. "We are very proud of the service we have provided over the past ten years and look forward to helping many more seniors remain safely in their homes as they age."
