Revelation 5:9–10
9And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. 10"You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth."
Revelation 1:4–6
4John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood— 6and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 3:21–22
21Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.

Ephesians 1:20–23
20which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 23which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, "I will show you what these are." 10And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered and said, "These are those whom the LORD has sent to patrol the earth." 11So they answered the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees and said, "We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is peaceful and quiet."

And He said, "Go, patrol the earth." So they patrolled the earth. 8Then He cried out to me and spoke to me saying, "See, those who are going to the land of the north have appeased My wrath in the land of the north."
Revelation 6:8

Ezekiel 14:21
21For thus says the Lord GOD, "How much more when I send My four severe judgments against Jerusalem: sword, famine, wild beasts and plague to cut off man and beast from it!
Ezekiel 34:27–28
27"Also the tree of the field will yield its fruit and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure on their land.

Revelation 6:9–11
9When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; 10and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" 11And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also.
Revelation 8:3–4
3Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. 4And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.
2 Corinthians 5:1–2
1For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2For indeed in this house we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling from heaven,
1 Corinthians 15:50–53
50Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Daniel 12:2–3
2"Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. 3"Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
Revelation 19:7–8

Mark 9:2–3

2 Thessalonians 1:5–10
5This is a plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering. 6For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, 8dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—for our testimony to you was believed.

5And I heard the angel of the waters saying, "Righteous are You, who are and who were, O Holy One, because You judged these things; 6for they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. They deserve it." 7And I heard the altar saying, "Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments."

2And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, holding harps of God.

" "Yes," says the Spirit, "so that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow with them."
Revelation 6:12–17
12I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 17for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"
Isaiah 34:3–4
3So their slain will be thrown out, And their corpses will give off their stench, And the mountains will be drenched with their blood. 4And all the host of heaven will wear away, And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll; All their hosts will also wither away As a leaf withers from the vine, Or as one withers from the fig tree.
Revelation 16:18–20
18And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. 19The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath. 20And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Jeremiah 24:1–10
1After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the officials of Judah with the craftsmen and smiths from Jerusalem and had brought them to Babylon, the LORD showed me: behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of the LORD! 2One basket had very good figs, like first-ripe figs, and the other basket had very bad figs which could not be eaten due to rottenness. 3Then the LORD said to me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" And I said, "Figs, the good figs, very good; and the bad figs, very bad, which cannot be eaten due to rottenness." 4Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5"Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans. 6'For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land; and I will build them up and not overthrow them, and I will plant them and not pluck them up. 7'I will give them a heart to know Me, for I am the LORD; and they will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with their whole heart. 8'But like the bad figs which cannot be eaten due to rottenness—indeed, thus says the LORD—so I will abandon Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land and the ones who dwell in the land of Egypt. 9'I will make them a terror and an evil for all the kingdoms of the earth, as a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse in all places where I will scatter them. 10'I will send the sword, the famine and the pestilence upon them until they are destroyed from the land which I gave to them and their forefathers.' "
Revelation 14:3–4
3And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased from the earth. 4These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
Isaiah 11:11–12
11Then it will happen on that day that the Lord Will again recover the second time with His hand The remnant of His people, who will remain, From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the islands of the sea. 12And He will lift up a standard for the nations And assemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.
Revelation 6:15–17
15Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 17for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"
Revelation 19:17–19
17Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in midheaven, "Come, assemble for the great supper of God, 18so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves, and small and great." 19And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army.
Luke 23:27–31
27And following Him was a large crowd of the people, and of women who were mourning and lamenting Him. 28But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29"For behold, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.' 30"Then they will begin TO SAY TO THE MOUNTAINS, 'FALL ON US,' AND TO THE HILLS, 'COVER US.' 31"For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?"
Matthew 24:15–21
15"Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 17"Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. 18"Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 19"But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20"But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. 21"For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.
Revelation 7:1–3
1After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. 2And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads."
Revelation 7:4–8
4And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: 5From the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, 6from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, 7from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, 8from the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed.
Ezekiel 9:4–5
4The LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst." 5But to the others He said in my hearing, "Go through the city after him and strike; do not let your eye have pity and do not spare.

23And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

1 Corinthians 15:20
20But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.
There are other first fruits offered at Pentecost; wheat was the primary grain offering, along with figs, grapes, wine, and pomegranates. I would suggest that the 144,000 would correlate to the first fruits offered at Pentecost.
Revelation 7:9–12
9After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands; 10and they cry out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." 11And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12saying, "Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen."
Revelation 7:13–17
13Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?" 14I said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15"For this reason, they are before the throne of God; and they serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them. 16"They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any heat; 17for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes."
1 Corinthians 15:50–54
50Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.
Leviticus 23:39–41
39'On exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the LORD for seven days, with a rest on the first day and a rest on the eighth day. 40'Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days. 41'You shall thus celebrate it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
Revelation 5:1–5
1I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals. 2And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?" 3And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it. 4Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it; 5and one of the elders said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals."

4 "I will make it go forth," declares the LORD of hosts, "and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night within that house and consume it with its timber and stones."
Revelation 8:1–6
1When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. 4And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand. 5Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake. 6And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

Revelation 3:10–13
10'Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11'I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12'He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. 13'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'
Exodus 15:25–26
25Then he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree; and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There He made for them a statute and regulation, and there He tested them. 26And He said, "If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer."

So you shall purge the evil from among you.
Revelation 7:2–3

Revelation 6:12-17: Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances
12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"
My understanding is that Seal Six occurs towards the end of the Millennium Age.
Resurrection Torchlight wrote:Hi Jay,
It's a long thread, so perhaps you missed it, I do cover this in the very first post.
Resurrection Torchlight wrote:The removal of the fifth and sixth seals I believe are imminent and it is my theory that they precede the 70th week. (This is the pre trib forum )
Resurrection Torchlight wrote:You said that :My understanding is that Seal Six occurs towards the end of the Millennium Age.
That is not my understanding. I believe that the seals are removed before the trumpets and that the bowls follow the trumpets, all happen consecutively just as the revelation reads.
Now, concerning the, "This is the pre trib forum " I carefully considered as to whether or not I should be commenting on what you have written as the "facts" of the Pre-Trib theory.

It is made up of 1,024 tiny RGC LEDs which all connect back to a small PCB which has Bluetooth, USB, an accelerometer and a pair of headphone sockets. The processor for the project is still being decided upon with two prototypes currently in testing. One is an 8-bit processor and the other a 32-bit ARM Cortex processor. The t-shirt will be controlled via an iPhone 4S running at least iOS 5.0 or greater.
The bad news is that the technology is still in its infancy and costs a huge amount to make each t-shirt. CuteCircuit will be monitoring the interest in the product and will make a decision about making a cheaper consumer version in the future.
Could you see yourself wearing a t-shirt that can display tweets and other information from the internet?

La Liga: Real Madrid forward Jese Rodriguez pens new four-year deal
Real Madrid have confirmed that forward Jese Rodriguez has agreed a new four-year contract with the club.
Last Updated: 24/07/13 8:43pm
The 20-year-old's current deal with Los Blancos was due to expire next June - sparking reports of interest from Tottenham Hotspur - but the new agreement commits him to Real until 2017.
Just moments after it was confirmed on the club's official website, the player declared his delight at the news with a message on Twitter.
He said: "Very happy to have renewed my contract and to play for the best team in the world. I will give everything for this badge."
Jese, born in the Canary Islands, joined Real Madrid's academy aged 14.
He helped the club to promotion to the Segunda Division A, Spain's second tier, in 2011-12 and finished top scorer in the division last season, with 22 goals.
He has just played just once for the first team, in a Copa del Rey tie with Ponferradina in December 2011, but has been promoted to the first team for the coming season.
Jese, who can play on either wing, as a centre-forward or behind the striker, has represented Spain at under-19 and under-20 level.
He was part of the under-19 side which won the 2012 European Championships in Estonia and finished top scorer in the tournament. He hit five goals at this summer's under-20 World Cup in Turkey, where Spain were eliminated at the quarter finals stages by Uruguay.
According to reports in Spain, Jese will double his wages to earn around E1.2m per season, while a prohibitively large buy-out clause has also been inserted into the contract to deter interest from rival clubs.

It's clear the Cubs could use more pop in the lineup.
Since leading the National League in home runs in 2004 (the Cubs finished second in MLB to the Yankees & White Sox who tied with 242 HR) Chicago's seen a steady decline in its overall power numbers.
The threesome of Aramis Ramirez, Derrek Lee and Alfonso Soriano accounted for the lion's share of home run production from 2007 until the band was broken up in 2010 with the trade of Lee to Atlanta. Aramis was gone a year later and Soriano appears out the door any day now.
From 2009 on the Cubs have had only two players aside from A-Ram, D-Lee and Soriano crack 20+ home runs in a season: Tyler Colvin with 20 (2010) and Carlos Pena with 28 (2011).
Not surprisingly, with Colvin and Pena departed by 2012 the Cubs had but one hitter surpass the 20 home run mark last season: Soriano with 32 HR. The next closest was Bryan LaHair with 16 HR.
The outlook for 2013, unfortunately, isn't much better. With LaHair traded this offseason to Japan, and Soriano rumored to be headed elsewhere via trade, the Cubs are starved for power at the traditional power positions for an NL team.
Ideally you want your big boppers patrolling the corner outfield and the corner infield. As it stands, the Cubs' outfield consists of David DeJesus and Nate Schierholtz–who combined for 15 HR last season–and a handful of light-hitting backups. So unless Ian Stewart and Louis Valbuena finally reach their potential, it's basically Anthony Rizzo as the lone power threat at the corners.
Rizzo of course appears to be a lock to reach 20+ home runs for the foreseeable future. He hit 15 HR in 87-games last year, which projects out to roughly 30 bombs over a full season. And thankfully more muscle appears on the horizon.
- Starlin Castro could develop more power. His home run numbers have increased in each of his first three seasons: 3, 10, 14.
- Top prospect Jorge Soler, 20, has all the makings of a dynamic major league power hitter. At 6'3″, 205lbs he's already displayed majestic power shots in the minor leagues; quickly earning the nickname 'Soler Power'.
- Outfielder Albert Almora, 18, who was Chicago's top-pick in the amateur draft last June, could potentially be a 20+ home run hitter.
- Shortstop Javier Baez, ranked the top prospect in the Midwest League this past season, has shown plenty of raw power.
- Brett Jackson still has a shot to be a power guy if his revamped swing this offseason pans out.
There are likely to be other prospects who will show power potential and it's fair to assume the Cubs will eventually dip into the free agent market to land a slugger. My guess is that would most likely come to fruition next winter, although this offseason is far from over and it's becoming more unpredictable by the day.
But while it's nice to think about the Cubs' power production looking upwards in the seasons to come, it's worth remembering round-trippers don't mean everything.
What better example than the world champion Giants? San Francisco not only hit 34 fewer home runs than the Cubs did last season, but ranked dead last in all of baseball with 103 dingers.
Pitching and defense have always been the staples of championship teams, but it couldn't hurt the Cubs' anemic offense to park a few more hits on Waveland and Sheffield next summer.

Scott McIntosh needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 18 designs submitted by 3 freelance designers.
Start My Song
Start My Song is a Nashville based website where songwriters from around the world can upload their songs for free and get them in front of Song Producers and Artists looking for new songs. Listeners around the world can also log-in and rank songs they hear to better filter the best songs to the top. We've just had our new Logo designed on 99Designs and are ready for the webpages. The new site will look and work like Digg.com and list all the songs on the home tab. The site will not be pages but work with Tabs like the newer browsers are doing. The site will be 1 main page with selectable tabs to navigate the sections.
Target Audience is songwriters / song producers / musicians looking for music for their albums / and new music fans around the world.
The site must be branded after the current LOGO which is currently at the top of the site now (http://www.startmysong.com). I can also send you the logo files (png / jpeg / psd). I can also send you a word file that has the site layout better than what I can describe but I will do my best:
Here is what will be on the site: (< > designates a button).(1) HEADER:
LOGO / <SUBMIT MY SONG> / SEARCH Songs or Songwriters box / <LOGIN> (note: clicking log-in will bring up a clean looking box in the middle of the page which allows user to input their username and password or Register or Login with FACEBOOK) (2) Line above TABS:
Only Show <All> / <Country> / <Christian> / <Rock-Pop> / <Hip-Hop> / <Alt-Indie> / <Jazz> / <R&B> / <Electronic> / <Beats> / <Melodies> / <Lyrics> (This line lets users select what type of songs to show. Defualt is the all tab) (3) Tabs = Top Songs / Newest Songs / My Songs (profile tab)
(These are the labels for the tabs) (4) Sponsored Song. (5) Song List
<Play All> (plays all the songs in the list). Song example:
Play button <Song Name> Copyright Symbol <Jane Smith> March 5, 2009 Genre OOOOOO <+ Add to fav> <I want to Publish or Record this Song> <Share This>
There is also a play button to the left of each song (this should match the logo play button). The circles represent the song's ranking. The first five circles are GOLD RECORDS and the 6th circle is a PLATINUM record. The ranking system will work like Netflix and the 'records' will fill in by the average score of people who are ranking them. In the sample, the top song should have the highest score and then filter down from there. The <Add to fav> button will just be the + sign. The other buttons in the songline will actually open a new TAB (like a tabbed browser). Clicking the <Song Name> takes you to a new tab containing info for that song...new tab with the song.....

OTTAWA – The governing Conservatives will use Tuesday's federal budget to unveil a crackdown on multinational companies that charge Canadian customers more than Americans on everything from books to clothing and appliances.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty's budget will include a promise of legislation to stop "country pricing" — when multinational brands set different prices in Canada and the United States, a government official told The Canadian Press.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of the budget's release, said the legislation will address the price gap and empower the country's competition commissioner to enforce the new rules.
The government also intends to monitor whether last year's elimination of tariffs on baby clothing and sports equipment — some of them as high as 20 per cent — is being passed onto consumers at the retail level.
A recent report by the Retail Council of Canada, which has worked with the government to tackle country pricing, concluded the tariff cuts have resulted in lower prices for consumers.
But the Consumers Association of Canada has expressed skepticism about whether such steps do indeed cut costs and Flaherty is not expected to chop any more tariffs.
The new initiatives are part of the government's effort to respond to consumer complaints about higher costs, price-gouging and price discrimination, the official said.
But the no-cost commitment also dovetails with what's shaping up to be the budget's underlying theme: demonstrating to voters that the government is taking action to help them, but with precious little new spending.
The Tories' pre-budget media blitz has been peppered with a number of such low-cost pledges, such as legislation to enshrine balanced budgets and tighter rules for charitable status to curb the link between charities, terrorists and organized crime.
Ottawa is also promising $800,000 to help skilled newcomers to Canada find work in their fields as part of a larger, job-centred effort that's expected to be one of the budget's key planks.
They have previewed more expensive promises, but only those that either delay spending — the government's income-splitting promise, for instance, was contingent on a balanced budget — or spread it out over several years.
Flaherty said there will be money for major infrastructure projects, which would likely include Toronto-area subways, replacing Montreal's Champlain Bridge, building a second bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ont., and Vancouver's Evergreen Line — all of which were highlighted in last October's throne speech. But the $70 billion will be spread out over the next decade.
Last week, Prime Minister Stephen Harper made the marquee announcement of a long-awaited plan to rework native education, promising $1.9 billion over several years. But money won't start flowing until 2016, when the Tories expect to have a fresh electoral mandate and some cash to spend.
Both CBC and the Globe and Mail have said the budget will include plans to extend or improve high-speed Internet access to 280,000 households and businesses in rural and remote areas. It's expected to be comparable to a previous $225-million program, with the cash spread out over several years.
And the Tories have a brand-new revenue source to tap: the Commons finance committee has recommended that such projects be funded through the proceeds from the 700-megahertz wireless auction. The last auction raised $4.3 billion.
But the road to balancing the budget in 2015 will come at a price, one that will likely require some number crunching.
Treasury Board President Tony Clement, who has sparked a war with public sector unions in his quest to cut costs, has outlined proposed changes to sick leave policy, which would include five to seven sick days a year, a short-term disability leave of a week to six months and long-term leave for more than six months. The changes would also eliminate bankable sick days.
Flaherty has insisted he won't balance the books by cutting transfers, but two of the country's most populous provinces are already waving red flags.
Premier Kathleen Wynne is demanding that Flaherty compensate Ontario for slashing $641 million from its equalization payments, while Quebec's Parti Quebecois government warned against any "ugly surprises" in this year's budget that could provoke new squabbles. Both minority governments seem to be headed for elections this spring.
Harper is also trying to claw back millions of dollars Ottawa gives the provinces for a contentious new federal jobs training scheme that's yet to be created, said Liberal MP John McCallum.
"I do think he's showing signs of riding roughshod over the provinces in his efforts to balance the federal books as quickly as possible," McCallum said.
The Liberals wouldn't say that Flaherty should delay his self-imposed deficit slaying deadline, which some groups say should be considered to avoid stifling the country's fragile economic recovery. But there's concern that the Tories are playing with the numbers and simply not spending the money they've promised in the budget.
"That's a great hocus-pocus sleight of hand that really raises serious doubts about the government's arithmetic," said deputy Liberal leader Ralph Goodale, a former finance minister.
The Conservatives patted themselves on the back for eliminating some tariffs in last year's budget, but also hiked duties on imported goods from more than 70 nations, including China, to help bring down the deficit. That move was estimated to have cost Canadians $330 million in higher retail prices.
Flaherty has hinted for months that a crackdown on companies taking advantage of the Canada-U.S. price gap would be in the cards.
Following the throne speech, Flaherty said officials in his department were sitting down with major retailers to determine why Canadians are charged higher prices on an array of goods.
A Senate finance committee report released last year, however, suggested several complex factors were to blame for price differences between Canada and the U.S., including higher transportation costs in Canada, more onerous packaging requirements, disparate provincial regulatory requirements, a smaller Canadian consumer market — and tariffs.

perpetually annoyed by exposed stereo equipment in my house.

We have so many old albums I'd love to play..takes me WAAAAYYY back. Enjoy spinning! Hope youre feeling better.ReplyDelete
xo Nancy
I bought one for my husband's birthday last year and I was a little worried for the same reasons. We have a great little closet (almost a coat closet) that sits central in the house and we have outfitted it with all of our media. The stereo, turntable, speakers (and soon those ugly and annoying cable boxes) are all stored away nicely out of sight. It may not be the crispest out there, but I just love the raw sound of a record playing over the speakers in the house.ReplyDelete
In this iTunes age I've forgotten how beautiful album art is. Have you been buying albums online? I have suddenly decided we need a record player in our house. Mostly so I can own and covet pretty album covers.ReplyDelete
Lady- we have the same taste in music! The purity ring peeps are from here and two of them used to be in a band called Gobble Gobble. We love them and were lucky enough to catch a couple of small shows they did.ReplyDelete
I don't know Wild Nothing. Will check them out, thanks.
tried kishi bashi yet? that has been the latest at our house.ReplyDelete
I also bought my husband one for Christmas!ReplyDelete
love beach house and got to see them play last year. so good!ReplyDelete
I love my record player, and my records. They are part of what makes my place feel like home for sure. What I don't love is the Ikea Expedit, which seems to be the only shelf I can find on the market that is actually deep enough to store records without them sticking out over the edge of the shelves, and not so flimsy that it collapses under the weight of all that vinyl. Any recommendations for record storage? I've got several hundred and would love to have a chic, or at least neutral, way to store them.ReplyDelete
Such a wonderful roundup ("Fineshrine" is soooooo good) -- gives me even more motivation to finally get a record player!ReplyDelete
This is such an awesome roundup. I love the way you have presented the whole thing. I certainly never miss your blogs and make it a point to come back to this site for more blogs Thanks!ReplyDelete
Your approach to this topic is unique and informative. I just loved the way you have presented the whole thing. I will be subscribing to your RSS feed and I hope you write one more very soon!ReplyDelete
I have hundreds of 45's that at the moment are piled on top of each other and end up scattered all over the floor when I think of a particular song and start searching for it. As you can imagine the living room gets untidy very quickly and very often! I'm looking for a storage solution too but it has to enable me to see the records as well as keeping them out of harm's way and clean and tidy. Any ideas?ReplyDelete
very good your article, and writing that fitsReplyDelete
I read some articles on this site and I think your blog is really interesting and has great information. Thank you for your sharing.ReplyDelete

New Ink & Spindle online shop
I find that it's not the actual making of product that takes very long, but getting all necessary ducks in a row to be able to actually make something. All the logistics and supplies and packaging etc.
One big issue we've been trying to tackle over at Ink & Spindle is what to do about online sales. Bianca and I had online shops already, but Tegan didn't... and etsy is a whole lot of hassle at the moment with exchange rate issues.
Sooooo, I decided to do the most logical thing, and completely rebrand my online shop to an Ink & Spindle shop! It's now located at inkandspindle.com.au/shop but you can still access it from laracameron.com/shop. All the customer information is retained so if you had an account & login with my old shop it will still work in the new shop!
New Ink & Spindle shop
It mainly has my product in it right now but Bianca is adding hers as we speak and Tegan's will be added soon :)

Internships can be a great way to help build valuable experience for potential jobs and education. There are several internship sites available, including positions related to human health (Vermont Health Department, the Vermont State Medical Examiner's Office); natural resources (the local office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service); environmental education (Shelburne Farms, ECHO); and medical research (University of Vermont College of Medicine).
Our biology faculty have a broad range of research interests, including aquatic biology, animal behavior, ecology, genetics, molecular biology, evolution, developmental biology, and biology education. Our faculty are active researchers who have received major (National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health) competitive grant awards.
There are many opportunities for students to do research with faculty during the academic year or in the summers. Student researchers have been co-authors on professional publications and have presented their work at conferences locally, nationally and internationally:
Please refer to the course listings section of the online college catalog.
Tropical Ecology will take you to Costa Rica, where you'll study the rainforests. There, one preserve alone contains over 300 species of trees, over 300 species of birds, 120 mammals, 48 amphibians, and 89 reptiles.
Upper-level biology lab classes have a maximum of 20 students per section, and seminar style classes will be smaller. A few upper-level courses may have two sections, so there may be up to 40 students in the class, but no more than 20 in each lab section. Our General Biology courses for first-year majors are capped at 48 students in each lecture section, with 16 or fewer in each lab section.
The fall semester of General Biology addresses topics in ecology and evolution, through the study of local biological diversity. It is very much a project-focused course, with students designing and executing a semester-long research project focusing on the conservation of a local threatened ecosystem, the sandplain forest.
The spring semester addresses topics in cellular biology and genetics through the use of case studies which focus on human health issues.
The credits received from scoring a 4 or 5 on the Biology AP test are applied as elective credits toward the overall 124 credits needed to graduate, but students majoring in biology are required to take both semesters of our General Biology course. The reason is that the project-driven nature of the course is very important in preparing students for the upper-level biology classes.
We encourage students to study abroad. In recent years, 35% of Saint Michael's biology majors have engaged in a study abroad experience.
However, it does require planning – so speak to your academic advisor during your first year so that you can get a plan in place that will allow you to study abroad.
Some study abroad programs offer courses that can be applied to the biology major, and may allow you to take courses not offered at Saint Michael's.
Saint Michael's College is also an affiliate member of the School for Field Studies, which provides semester-long and summer programs in natural resource ecology and management at its field stations in Costa Rica, Mexico, the Turks & Caicos Islands (in the eastern Caribbean), Australia, and Kenya.
Additional information is provided on our department fact sheet, which also lists the professor contacts for the different biology tracks.

In 2010, when Studio Gang Architects and landscape architects Smithgroup JJR released plans for the redevelopment of Northerly Island in Chicago, it was generally viewed as a very long-term project. Now, less than two years later, The Chicago Park District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are teaming up to launch phase one of the ambitious plan. Studio Gang's plan calls for transforming the 91-acre peninsula, which served as a small airstrip as recently as 2003, into a vibrant nature preserve surrounded by wetlands.
Northerly Island was part of Daniel Burnham's 1909 Plan of Chicago; it was one of several manmade islands included in the plan, but it ended up being the only one that was actually built. In 2003, then-Mayor Daley ordered workers to bulldoze large X's in the runway of Miegs Field — the airport that operated out of Northerly Island — claiming that the airport's proximity to downtown Chicago was a terrorist threat. Since then, the peninsula has served as a public park and concert venue, but because it lacks landscaping it isn't a big draw among locals.
Studio Gang and JJR plan to radically transform the space into the city's next great park. "It's almost like a Millennium Park of nature," architect Jeanne Gang told the Chicago Tribune in 2010, alluding to the enormously successful park and concert venue in downtown Chicago. The plan calls for moving a lot of earth from the perfectly flat former runway to create a more varied topography that will contain six different ecosystems. According to the Chicago Journal, an oak savannah would be located at the highest point, and at lower points there will be a dry-mesic prairie, a wet prairie, an emergent marsh, and a 4.1-acre pond, which will be connected to Lake Michigan via a narrow channel.
On the north end of the park, a large concert venue would be built into a hillside. A new shoreline would be built to create new wetlands and fish habitats, and a ship would be sunk near the shore for divers to explore. The plan also takes winter into account (winter is of course an unavoidable fact of life in Chicago) with the inclusion of an ice skating rink. With $6.65 million in funding from two federal grants and $1.5 million of the Chicago Park District's money, work will begin this fall on the south and east sides of the park.

Cheryl Cole's American dream back on? Singer 'invited to rejoin X Factor USA'
Cheryl Cole was offered her job back on the X Factor USA last night – less than two weeks after being axed from the show.
The 27-year-old Girls Aloud singer and former judge on the British series was dropped amid claims that viewers couldn't understand her Geordie accent and criticism of her performance on the panel.
But in a shock U-turn, Fox Television executives have given her a second chance after a personal intervention by X Factor supremo Simon Cowell.
Friends again? Simon Cowell has managed to convince Fox executives Cheryl Cole is right for X Factor USA
Last night it remained unclear whether she would accept the offer, with a source saying: 'The ball is in her court.'
The US network and Cowell have been
criticised after it emerged Fox's President of Alternative
Entertainment, Mike Darnell – dubbed
the Rumpelstiltskin of Reality TV because of his 5ft 2in height – ordered Miss Cole off the show after he watched footage of her on the panel last month.
Significantly, since then, neither Fox nor Cowell's representatives have released a statement confirming that Miss Cole had been sacked.
If Miss Cole – who has not been seen in public since she was axed from the show – decides to accept the offer, she could be back on the panel when auditions resume in New Jersey this week.
Back in the line-up? Cole with X Factor USA judges Antonio 'L.A.' Reid, Paula Abdul and Cowell and co-hosts Steve Jones and Nicole Scherzinger
If she agrees to the move, it would see Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger – who was given Cheryl's place on the panel after her sudden exit – relegated to her original role as co-host with British TV pre¬senter Steve Jones.
But there was speculation the offer could be a plot by the American TV network to stave off any legal claim that Miss Cole could make for compensation against her sacking.
She was expected to receive a £1.2million payout in compensation despite filming only four episodes of the £100million series. However, if she then chooses not to accept Fox's offer, it could reduce any payment the network would have to pay out.
Last night a spokesman for Miss Cole did not return calls.
A judge or co-host? Cheryl's return will mean Scherzinger - who performed on Britain's Got Talent last night - will revert to presenting
Miss Cole, one of four judges on the panel alongside Cowell, Paula Abdul and record producer L. A. Reid, flew back to Britain two weeks ago.
No official explanation has yet emerged as to why Miss Cole was dropped and sources close to her said she was not told why.
However, Fox executives were said to have complained about the 'lack of chemistry' between her and fellow judge Miss Abdul and concerns were raised about Miss Cole's accent.
She was also criticised for her fashion sense and hairstyle after she arrived for her first day on the panel in purple trousers, an orange top and a backcombed hairstyle which Simon Cowell later said looked as if it was created in a wind tunnel.
Last week, British television executives gave Miss Cole the chance to resume her place on the ITV show – but she declined their offer after failing to respond to a deadline set for midnight last Saturday.
A source close to Cowell said last night: 'Simon is staying out of this now. He has offered an olive branch but he is leaving the decisions up to Fox and Freemantle, the production company.
New panel: Louis Walsh is joined by Kelly Rowland, Tulisa Contostavlos and Gary Barlow at the Birmingham auditions of X Factor last week
'Cheryl was offered the UK show because it was thought that would have made her happier. He just wants whatever is best for Cheryl.'
Her U.S. manager, Black Eyed Peas rapper Will.i.am said last week: 'Cheryl always comes back stronger, and she always comes back bigger. Cheryl has been through rougher things than this, so this is going to be no problem for her.
'It's easy to imagine Simon as this one-man empire, but that's not the case.
has people he needs to answer to and sometimes his hands are tied. I
can only tell you what I've seen first-hand, that's a guy who deeply
cares for her.'
The latest development comes just a few days after it was confirmed Mrs Cole would not be returning to the original UK X Factor.
Instead Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Kelly Rowland joined the only remaining judge Louis Walsh on the panel at the Birmingham auditions last week.
Walsh said he had spoken to Cole and she was doing 'fine'.
He said: 'I talked to Cheryl today - we've been texting all day and we're having fun. I think she's going to be fine.
'Listen, from her texts today she's absolutely fine.'

Difference between revisions of "Wikitravel:Script nominations"
Revision as of 19:35, 25 August 2009
According to the Wikitravel script policy, scripts have to be approved by the Wikitravel administrators. To create a script that runs against Wikitravel, post the name and reason for the script beneath the line below.
Explain why we need the script, why it can't be done by hand, and what the script will do. If 2 administrators voice their support for the script within 7 days, and none oppose it in that period, the script can be run.
Scripts that have passed through this process can be found in Wikitravel:Approved scripts.
NOTE: you must apply for approval on each language version of Wikitravel. Approval on this page only allows you to run a bot on Wikitravel in english.
I'd like to create a script to add "isIn" information for as many articles as possible. We've done a lot by hand already, but I think it might make sense to do a pass automatically. I'm calling it "YggdrasilBot", since its intention is to build a Tree of the World. I think it'll be tricky, but here's how it will work:
I'm going to write this over the next few days (either in Pywikipediabottish or Perl + WWW::Mediawiki::Client), and run it next week (pending approval). The code will be available here and from my arch repository.
I'm trying to be as conservative as possible with this, but I'm going to try it out on a test repository first. --Evan 15:37, 9 Dec 2005 (EST)
As part of the autotranslation feature I'm going to start testing a bot and adding autotranslations to subpages of article Talk pages (ie /Parigi:Discussione/Translation for an Italian version of the English article or /Talk:Cologne/Translation for a english version of the German article). I'm going to start out with half-a-dozen or so, for feedback, and then work on small batches where it would be useful. Majnoona 14:26, 1 July 2006 (EDT)
WikiPedia currently runs a bot named WikiPedia:User:AntiVandalBot which uses pattern matching to revert obvious vandalism. The vandalism reversions it makes seem to be remarkably accurate and include everything from the "Bob is gay" edits to page blanking (see WikiPedia:Special:Contributions/AntiVandalBot). It also leaves a note on the user page for an author whose change was reverted, and will not revert a change twice when in "calm" mode, which is the default - there is also an "angry" mode. They have a WikiPedia:User:AntiVandalBot/requests page for getting it to run on Wikis other than Wikipedia, and I'd like to try to get it running on English Wikitravel. Should there be any problems with the bot the failsafe is for an admin to block the user the bot runs under, so it seems like it would be safe enough. -- Ryan 17:43, 18 July 2006 (EDT)
SpamFilterBot 2.0
So Evan and I were discussing various ideas about Wikitravel and I think it would be great if we could get a bot up and running which updates the spam filter across all language versions, Shared, and review and keeps all of the spam filters consistent so to prevent EN spammers from spamming ES, IT, etc. Who ever writes the script gets a barnstar. On the count of three... 1... 2... GO! -- Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 23:25, 6 August 2006 (EDT)
As updating DotMs/OtBPs by hand is annoying (update front page, place into index, remove from current discussion, slot into archive), I'd like to build a bot along the lines of DiscoverBot to automate the process. (Wikipedia might have something snarfable.) Ideally, it could maintain all Wikitravel language versions that have active DoTM processes, and it would be smart enough to do nothing if the queue is empty. Jpatokal 02:14, 1 November 2006 (EST)
I noted this morning that someone had started Newark, New Jersey when we already had a Newark (New Jersey). I wonder if it would be useful to have a bot that added redirects for US and Canadian towns where a comma-separated city-and-state is a common naming convention. I'd probably just use the US and Canadian cities from the UN/LOCODE list, which would leave out the dots-on-the-map, but would cover most of the countries. It would make redirects of the form City, State and City, ST to City (State) or just City (depending on if the article exists). --Evan 14:22, 22 November 2006 (EST)
I'm very close to being able to fully automate the process of turning a Wikitravel article combined with OSM data into a mostly-usable map. I would like to propose creating a bot account on shared for uploading the results of this process. When complete the MapmakerBot would do this:
To see examples of the sort of configuration the map generation requires have a look the Paris articles. At some point I'll write up some documentation on how to use the thing. -- Mark 11:42, 21 May 2009 (EDT)
This interwiki bot uses standard pywikipedia framework and is operated by wikipedia:ru:User:Volkov (sysop @ ru.wiki) on many WikiMedia projects. I think it will be helpful to keep an eye on interwikis on wikitravel as well and update them when needed. The bot is supposed to be run periodically. --Volkov 03:13, 19 August 2009 (EDT)
iTravelWrite is an iPhone app (currently available, and free, in the App Store) intended to make it easy for people to update Wikitravel from their phones - with GPS location information, in particular. This will add to the lat/long data available on Wikitravel, making mapping much easier, and will hopefully increase accuracy too, by allowing people to make edits while literally on the spot.
The app is built to funnel updates through a central service, a Python script running on Google App Engine, at www.wetravelwrite.com. This reduces the bandwidth cost for the phone app considerably, provides a central point of logging and control, and lets users jot down quick notes that they can later expand into edits when they're at a real computer. To be clear, this is a script, but not a bot: it only acts in response to specific user requests from the iPhone app.
I plunged forward and built the app and service without previously asking for an OK here - sorry about that! I've disabled edits from the app for the moment, until (/if) the the script is approved, and also until I fix a bug in how it handles non-ASCII characters. (Which in turn is an example of why a central point of control is useful.)

CENTENNIAL, Colo.—A judge says prosecutors can have access to some university records of the man charged in the Colorado theater shootings.
Prosecutors said the records could establish a motive for the July 20 attack, which killed 12 people and injured 58. Lawyers for former University of Colorado Denver graduate student James Holmes had argued prosecutors were going on an overly broad fishing expedition.
A judge ruled in a document released Wednesday that prosecutors can see certain campus police documents relating to Holmes, certain documents Holmes sent as part of his university application for admission, and documents concerning his withdrawal from school in June.
University psychiatrist Lynne Fenton, whom Holmes had seen as a patient, has said she spoke to campus police about Holmes. Prosecutors won't see documents covered by doctor-patient privilege.

text: I just started looking at PDAs for the first time and they are extremely confusing with all of the different formats and proprietary expansion slots. I would like to spend around $200. I guess I will probably have to go with a monochrome display and 8MB, but which brand? I saw the Casio BE300 at Best Buy for $199 and it's color and has 16MB of ROM, but it has MS CE 3.0 which is old, right? Can the OS be upgraded? There must be something wrong with it if it's that cheap. Give me some opinions for what I should look for. I will hopefully get it for Christmas so the prices might come down even more by then. Thanks

Federal court strikes down Illinois ban on carrying concealed weapons
In a victory for gun rights advocates, a federal appeals court on Tuesday struck down Illinois' ban on carrying concealed weapons -- the only total concealed-carry ban in the country.
The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals gave state lawmakers six months to come up with their own version of the law that legalizes concealed carry.
"We're extremely pleased with the ruling," Illinois State Rifle Association leader Richard Pearson said. "Now that the court has ruled ... we will work as soon as possible with legislators to craft a concealed-carry bill for the state of Illinois."
The 2-1 decision marks a huge win for gun rights advocates who have argued that the ban on concealed weapons violates the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment and what they see as citizens' right to carry guns for self-defense.
A new law could be in place by January, Pearson said. A bill has already been written by Rep. Brandon Phelps that includes background checks, field provisions and other issues.
"Christmas came early for law-abiding gun owners," said Phelps, whose proposed legislation came within three votes of passing in 2011.
"I said on the floor, `A lot of people who voted against this, one of these days, you're going to wish you did, because of all the limitations and the safety precautions we put in this bill, because one of these days, the court's going to rule and you're not going to like the ruling.' Today's the day. The court's pretty much said there's no restrictions," he said.
Judge Richard Posner wrote in the court's majority opinion that the state "had to provide us with more than merely a rational basis for believing that its uniquely sweeping ban is justified by an increase in public safety. It has failed to meet this burden."
He continued: "The theoretical and empirical evidence (which overall is inconclusive) is consistent with concluding that a right to carry firearms in public may promote self-defense."
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, who favors strict gun control laws and proposed an assault weapons ban earlier this year that lawmakers defeated, has vowed to again bring legislation that would prohibit the sale or possession of semi-automatic rifles and other guns.
Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office, which is responsible for defending the state's laws, said it was reviewing the ruling and would comment later Tuesday.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I really want to babysit, but I have cerebral palsy. Is there even a chance for me to get hired?
– Kiera*
Yes. Many teens with CP can do things other teens do, and that includes babysitting. It's true that some parents might be a bit thrown off at first. But if you can show that you are capable, the right clients will come around.
So how do you show you're capable? Start by taking a babysitting course at your local hospital, YMCA, Red Cross, or other reputable organization. Then, when you look for babysitting jobs, you can advertise that you are certified as a babysitter and present your certificate to parents. Knowing that a hospital or group like the Red Cross endorses you as a babysitter will help convince parents of your abilities.
You can reach out for help from other places, too. If you'd like to talk to someone about babysitting opportunities for teens with CP, talk to your school counselor or contact a CP group. Your local chapter of the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation might be able to offer advice or connect you with other teens who babysit so you can get tips from someone who's been there.
After taking a course and doing some research, your next step is to get experience. Babysit for relatives or neighbors who are close by, or help out at the childcare center at your place of worship. You're not only gaining experience, you're also building references who can vouch for your skills.
A lot of new babysitters get experience by starting out as a "mother's helper." This is where you look after kids while their mom or dad is still at home. It's a great way to build your confidence — and your references!
When looking for jobs beyond friends and neighbors, don't downplay your CP. Use it as a selling point. Many teens who live with a health condition are more mature than their peers, and maturity counts for a lot when babysitting.
Decide what age group you'd like to babysit for. If you're concerned about supervising or chasing toddlers or picking up babies, you probably want to advertise that you're looking to babysit quieter, school-age kids. When parents answer your ad, tell them that you have CP and explain how that won't interfere with looking after the right child.
As with any job, preparation is key. All babysitters should make a list of their strengths and limitations, then think through the best situation to accommodate these.
And remember, there's one area where you have an edge over other babysitters: You can be a great role model for a child who has a health condition. A lot of parents will jump at the chance to have a babysitter who can inspire their child.
