Geobytes has an IP Address Locator Tool, but the results have been all over the map. Are there other Location Based Services (LBS) that link an IP Address to GPS Coordinates, Physical Address, etc.? asked Jul 03 '10 at 17:35 r0bErT4u |
Yes and no. At best, you'll narrow it down to a city where the person/accessing entity's ISP is located. Some people's ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses which change at intervals, others are static IPs that don't change. None are tied to home address, though what a great stalking tool that would be, huh? I'm sure law enforcement, especially at the Federal level, has ways of determining more than the general public but they also have actions they can perform (and records they can subpoena) that we don't. answered Jul 03 '10 at 17:56 ageekmom ♦ Usama Bin Laden uses a mobile phone, which has an IP Address. He's on dialysis, so how many dialysis machines are there in Pakistan? "The Rewards For Justice Program, United States Department of State, is offering a reward of up to $25 million for information leading directly to the apprehension or conviction of Usama Bin Laden. An additional $2 million is being offered through a program developed and funded by the Airline Pilots Association and the Air Transport Association." ... I only want $2 Million, and I'd give the rest to family, friends, and charities.

May I ask what you may need this feature for? Usually, you can't get access to these tools without paying some money, but the authorities can use them for free. Carriers are required by law to help authorities track down criminals. answered Jul 03 '10 at 19:01 AppleHack23 No worries. Of course you may ask? As you already know, your general geographical location was easy to find. I'm not sure if information was accurate down to your state, city, and address. I wasn't even sure that was your profile picture, until you confirmed it. I'm brushing up for my interview with InfraGard. I want to be able to show them my skills & what I have to offer.
(Jul 03 '10 at 19:51)
your IP address is registered to an address, if you know the time date and IP address you can in theory go to the ISP and say i need to know who this is. however you typically need a court order to get that information. the best anyone outside of the ISP and law enforcement can really get is the city, state, and ISP. answered Jul 03 '10 at 20:10 trueb |
In most countries ISP's keep a log of which IP is given to which modem at what time, because they have to by law. By knowing the exact time and the IP address, an ISP should be able to tell you which modem had that IP. By having this information you could tell who owns this modem ( or which credentials it used to log on ), and thus get all the information you want. Putting this out there for free, or even for money, seems to me as an invasion to the privacy of their customers. And that's generally not a good idea :) answered Jul 16 '11 at 17:46 NoSTaBoNN |
You can try IP-Details.com to find Geographical location of IP address/domain. It also displays your current ip address and its location. Location information includes Country, Network, Address, ISP, Latitude, Longitude, etc. Visit the site for more information. answered May 02 '11 at 00:48 emilya 1
For what its worth, that URL claimed i am in Colorado, when in fact I am in California.

That website couldn't even firugre out where my IP address is located it just sort of didn't put any information in ISP, location, and county. Not a good site.

I believe that all IP Addresses have an address associated with it because whenever I tether my phone to my computer it always says I'm in Oregon or something. answered May 02 '11 at 08:42 FilipinoPower |
It depends on how accurate the data is. I have a web server that's being hosted in Los Angeles, but if you resolve the geolocation, it for some reason reports a Pennsylvania location. Possibly the range of IP addresses being used were once owned by a company in Pennsylvania and the data was never revised. Oddly enough as well, I used to live in texas but now live in California, and for a long time Google's attempt at locating me would default to the texas location. I never was able to find if there was some zip code or some prefence it was finding there on google maps. I have come to the conclusion that because of the limitations of IP4, geolocation data can be inaccurate. If someone is trying to geolocate a phone, it's probably more accurate if it can coorolate that info with say, cell network usage or something like that. But IP4 address alone is unreliable. answered Jul 16 '11 at 14:24 Duodave |
yes yes and yes if a human puts in the geo data for that IP. I live 700 miles from where the ip BLOCK I am using is sent out. ipv6 is easier to have the geodata encoded into the ip address and part of the ability of ipv6 is to have a 1:1 relationship of source:destination to not only provide the best 'path' but the physical location. again that means someone maintaining a database that heh, is out of date. answered Jul 16 '11 at 16:27 jeff |

Harris Savides, Gus Van Sant and David Fincher cinematographer, dies
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Harris Savides (sa-VEE-dis), the acclaimed cinematographer who worked frequently with Gus Van Sant and David Fincher, has died at 55.
Savides died Wednesday night, his representatives at The Skouras Agency confirmed Thursday. They did not release a cause of death.
He was known for vividly recreating the hazy hues of 1970s cinema in films like Fincher's "Zodiac" and Ridley Scott's "American Gangster," and for mesmerizingly fluid, long takes with Van Sant in movies including "Last Days," "Elephant" and "Gerry." The last film he shot was Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring," based on the true story of teens who burglarized celebrities' homes, which is due out next year.
Savides also shot several influential music videos, working often with director Mark Romanek on clips including Michael Jackson's "Scream" and Madonna's "Rain."

We're sending out the SOS – Save Our Squad – to Lake Wylie and fellow York County residents, and those who could be deciding its fate, the York County Council.
Council is expected to make a decision, possibly next month, on the emergency responder contract with Piedmont Medical Center and volunteer services, which would include our River Hills/Lake Wylie EMS.
So here's our letter to Council:
The Lake Wylie community is invested financially and emotionally with River Hills/Lake Wylie EMS. These are our neighbors volunteering to come to our rescue. And we appreciate them. Our respect and gratitude is shown in the 33 years of support by individuals and organizations, and the dedication of its volunteers. According to the website rhems.org, the low volume in 1980 has increased to a dispatched volume of more than 1,144 calls in 2012. The squad has grown to include 17 paramedics, 11 intermediate EMTs, 21 basic EMTs and 10 first responders. The squad has some paid staff, too.
A main ingredient in this equation is our squad provides its service free to our community, only charging medical insurance when applicable. Piedmont, on the other hand, is for-profit.
As patients of River Hills/Lake Wylie EMS, we may choose the hospital. Under the new agreement, Piedmont would be the primary option, although other facilities are closer to us than the one in Rock Hill, including CMC-Steele Creek, and others in Mecklenburg County or Gaston Memorial Hospital. Please keep in mind, York County could soon have a new hospital in Fort Mill, too. We like options. Having options is a good thing, especially considering the changes that happen within the medical field and specific needs of patients.
Any council members with affiliations to Piedmont Medical Center should consider the conflict of interest and not vote when the contract does come to vote.
But most importantly, if the county is going to decide on this contract, should we not be privy to seeing it?
While you continue to not make a decision, the ambulance war wages on here as we see our EMS and PMC ambulances waiting in various locations around our community.
Giving Piedmont complete medical control and dispatch doesn't sit well with us.
We hope Council will carefully consider what the Lake Wylie area residents are requesting, unlike the commercial "color code" consideration in the fall, nixed before residents and business owners could weigh in.
If you, Lake Wylie residents and others in York County, want a say, say it loud and say it now. Write or call our county representatives stating your point of view. Visit www.YorkCountyGov.com/CountyCouncil/CouncilMembers and let them know we don't want to lose our squad.
Lake Wylie Pilot is pleased to be able to offer its users the opportunity to make comments and hold conversations online. However, the interactive nature of the internet makes it impracticable for our staff to monitor each and every posting.
Since Lakewyliepilot.com does not control user submitted statements, we cannot promise that readers will not occasionally find offensive or inaccurate comments posted on our website. In addition, we remind anyone interested in making an online comment that responsibility for statements posted lies with the person submitting the comment, not Lake Wylie Pilot.
If you find a comment offensive, clicking on exclamation icon will flag the comment for review by the administrators, we are counting on the good judgment of all our readers to help us.

The Royal Wedding is upon us. On Friday, Catherine and William will tie the knot in a very public marriage ceremony. Whilst the mounting excitement and expectation for the Royal Wedding may be getting a bit much for some – including me, if I'm honest – I still love weddings. It's not so much the dressing up (I'd happily turn up in my jeans – clean ones, of course) or the chance for a big party. For me, it's the fact that two people choose to make a very public commitment to each other. It's the celebration of that commitment and all the hopes for the future that come with it that make weddings so special.
Whilst as a society we may have become a little less "throw-away" than we were pre-recession, I still sense a fear of commitment, of standing up and saying what you believe in. To promise to love someone forever is a pretty big commitment BY a, foring that has intrinsic value, something that shows you have thought about the couple and chosen the perfect gift for them. Something – even – that will be with the couple for the rest of their life and, who knows, might even be cherished. To my mind, something lovingly hand-crafted would seem appropriate here,not something "off-the shelf" or mass produced.
It seems I'm not alone. We recently set-up a poll on our Facebook page and asked what people like to give at weddings. Ok,so it wasn't the most statistically valid poll, but I thought it was interesting to see that "money" got only one vote, and something "unique and unusual" came top.
If you are heading to a wedding – it doesn't have to be William and Kate's – why not acknowledge the commitment of the happy couple by giving something unique and distinctive, something loving hand-crafted. You could do worse than check out the range of wedding gifts on Seek & Adore.
As for William and Catherine, I wish them all the best. Two days after they get married David and I celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary. I wouldn't change my commitment to him for the entire world.

Hugo Chavez dies and the Twitter town square reacts
Hugo Chavez passed away after a two-year battle with cancer. The colorful and controversial socialist Venezuelan president, who once called President George W. Bush a "donkey" and President Obama a "fraud," was popular among the disenfranchised in his country and on Twitter, with more than 4 million followers. He made the Internet more accessible in Venezuela, creating hundreds of community "infocenters" with computers and free Internet service throughout the country. Simultaneously, he waged war on the free press in his country.
Chavez was absent from Twitter after Nov. 1, 2012, as he underwent more … Read more

A couple years ago, I went on the hunt for a new, light fragrance, and this is the one I found! I usually purchase floral or spicy oriental fragrances, because those tend to smell the best on me, but I love that Lacoste's "Touch of Spring" is floral but still very light. It's perfect for a the office, a day out with friends, or a trip to the beach, anywhere you would want a light, fresh fragrance. I currently work at a bank, and clients are always asking, "Who smells so good?"

This year marks the debut of the Jetta Hybrid, Volkswagen's second hybrid (after the Touareg) and its first in the compact sedan segment. Other changes to the Jetta lineup include new leather trim in SE and higher versions, and launch control in the GLI models with automatic transmission.
A new SE with Sunroof package is offered on both the gasoline and diesel models, while a Sunroof and Navigation package is available only on diesel-powered Jetta SportWagens.
While many people prefer the rugged look and elevated ground clearance of a small SUV, there are still a number of drivers who prefer a traditional car-based wagon. For these few die-hard loyalists, Volkswagen builds the 2012 Jetta SportWagen, a midsize wagon based on the last generation Jetta sedan. As roomy inside as any Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4, the 2012 SportWagen goes a step further by offering superior ride and handling, as well as the option of a very fuel-efficient 2.0-liter TDI turbodiesel engine. In TDI form, the Jetta SportWagen earns an EPA-estimated 42 mpg highway (although most drivers report getting better mileage over time) with the manual transmission.

SubscribeScams Using UNICEF's Name
UNICEF is asking people to be wary of phone calls which ask for large sums of money on behalf of the charity or request a donation in return for a large sum of money. The charity has been made aware of a scam currently taking place, where a caller (claiming to be from the IRD) informs individuals that they are entitled to a large sum of money. When the individual calls a Wellington based number to claim the money, they are asked to donate to UNICEF before the money is released. UNICEF has nothing to do with this activity - it is a scam .

The City of Tacoma's budget process is about to hit the road.
City Manager T.C. Broadnax says he'll take Tacoma's 2013-14 general fund budget planning out of City Hall next month and into the neighborhoods, where he'll seek to "demystify" the process and gather input on city spending priorities from the public.
"I'm hoping this will be a much more community-oriented process this year," he said.
Broadnax unveiled his new approach during Tuesday's City Council study session. He also briefed members about the $11 million shortfall still facing this year's budget.
Since he took office in February, Broadnax has held off making more budget cuts until the city learns whether it will receive federal grants that could help stave off more than 50 layoffs to police and fire employees.
The city should know within a month and a half whether it will receive the fire grant, he said. The police grant will be awarded by September.
"If we don't get these grants, we're going to have to resolve that issue," Broadnax told the council. "I can assure you, we will have a balanced budget by the end of the year."
For the next city budget, Broadnax said his approach will include a series of "community budget input meetings" in June and July, staged at neighborhood and community group forums.
Citizens will have a chance to learn how Tacoma's budget process works and how the city spends taxpayer money, he said. A questionnaire on spending priorities will be distributed at the meetings and posted on the city's website.
The process also will include more input upfront from City Council members. Broadnax will begin seeking the council's budget priorities next month through a survey.
He'll ask council members to rate elements of Tacoma's core services by importance and task them with a spending exercise: Given only $10, members apply dollar amounts to city service areas to help develop spending priorities.
"Not that I'll hold you to it," Broadnax said, "but to give us some guidance and allow you to understand the difficult task that we're going to have to go through."
City staff will round out the budget input. In July, Broadnax will randomly select frontline employees from police, fire, public works and other major core service areas to participate in roundtable discussions and focus groups.
Broadnax said he'll consider all feedback while drafting a budget plan to present to council in October. Then he plans to stage a second round of community meetings, as well as broadcast a video on TV Tacoma, to explain what's in his budget proposal and what isn't.
After the council gets the proposal, it will hold a series of public workshops to review and revise the plan before adopting a final 2013-14 budget by year's end.
Several council members praised Broadnax for his collaborative approach.
"My compliments to you Mr. City Manager," Councilman Jake Fey said. "This is much more meaningful than what I've experienced over the years I've been on the council."
City budget officials already project the 2013-14 general fund faces a $40 million shortfall under current spending levels. Broadnax said Tuesday the plan he proposes will in the end include "recurring (spending) cuts, not just one-time fixes."

In November, a U.S. airman was accused of breaking into a family's home on Okinawa and assaulting a teenage boy before jumping off a third-floor balcony.
Relations between the Japanese and the U.S. military also suffered in 1995 when a U.S. sailor and two U.S. Marines were convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl.
Tens of thousands of Okinawans took to the streets at the time demanding that the United States leave the island.

CINCINNATI - A private service is planned in Cincinnati on Friday for astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon.
The Ohio native died Saturday in Cincinnati at age 82. No other information was released immediately about the service, other than that it would be private.
There have been preliminary discussions about a national memorial service for Armstrong, who often shunned publicity in the decades after his historic mission, but a family spokesman said there were no details yet.
U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, who is from Ohio and has called Armstrong "a good friend and adviser," will eulogize him at Friday's service.
Portman is in Tampa, Fla., for the Republican National Convention, where he is scheduled to speak Wednesday night. Spokeswoman Caitlin Dunn said his office is working on travel arrangements to get him back to Cincinnati in time for the service. The convention schedule has already been changed this week and could be further disrupted as Tropical Storm Isaac bears down on the Gulf Coast.
Portman called Armstrong humble and gracious and on Monday he recounted for Ohioans at the convention an anecdote demonstrating Armstrong's compassion for veterans and his desire to keep a low profile: Several years ago, the former astronaut accepted Portman's request to help dedicate a veterans memorial in suburban Mason, Ohio, but asked that his participation not be announced in advance. The crowd quickly rose in standing
The Museum of Natural History & Science of the Cincinnati Museum Center has an exhibit that includes a moon rock and replicas of Armstrong's Apollo 11 spacesuit and tools used on the moon. It is offering free admission through Labor Day to honor Armstrong, and more than 2,000 people visited Sunday.
Armstrong, who commanded the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969, was born in Wapakoneta, in western Ohio. He is celebrated there at the Armstrong Air & Space Museum, which is planning a memorial tribute Wednesday night.
The tribute is called "Wink at the Moon." The statement Armstrong's family released upon his death requested that the public honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, adding "and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink." ---

A second arrest has been made in last week's series of shootings, according to authorities.
Shots were fired into a Hickory Street residence on Sept. 21. One of the home's occupants, the 8-year-old daughter of Krystle Faulk, was hit in the right arm. The child was treated at Scotland Memorial Hospital and released the same day.
On Thursday, Phillip John Graham, 23, of 22281 Bunch Road in Laurel Hill was charged for shooting into Faulk's home after a vehicle he was riding in was stopped for a drug investigation. During the stop, Graham threw a 45 caliber handgun out of the car and further investigation connected him with the earlier shooting.
According to Godwin, the Hickory Street drive-by was not a random act of violence.
"It's suspected that there is a connection between the homeowner and Graham," he said.
Graham was charged with possession with two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, discharging a weapon into occupied property inflicting serious injury, and discharging a weapon in the city limits, as well as possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, resist delay and obstruct, and littering.
Graham was placed in the Scotland County jail under a $65,500 secured bond.
The Faulk shooting followed another earlier that night, when 37-year-old Michael McLean was shot multiple times after exiting Brothers in the Hood Market on Aberdeen Road. Of the two individuals witnessed waiting for McLean that evening, one, a 14-year-old juvenile, was arrested earlier this week. McLean has since been released from the medical facility where he was treated.
Shortly after the Hickory Street shooting, police responded to a call of shots fired on Lincoln Street. Jonathan Murphy, 22, of Laurinburg was found lying lifeless in the front yard of 359 Lincoln Street, with no one else in the area. As of yet, there have been no arrests related to Murphy's shooting and the case is still under investigation.
As of yet, the three separate shootings have not yet been connected, said Lt. Marc Godwin of the Laurinburg Police Department.
"We still have no evidence that any of them are related at this time," Godwin said.

and hitting the top of the OutVoice music charts at #1 with the song
In 2004 Roger/Yolanda met his now husband, Glen, and they began a conscious spiritual path together. Roger explored New Thought principles as taught by Science of Mind, Unity, and A Course In Miracles. Along the way Roger decided to fulfill his dream of becoming a minister. He enrolled at One Spirit Interfaith Seminary in NYC and became an ordained Interfaith Minister in June 2011. This has been a journey of healing- back to a personal connection to Spirit. Roger's current ministry is performing as Rev. Yolanda and creating bridges of love

Just in time for the Holidays
Finally! New prints and some originals in the shop. Keep checking out the shop.... many more coming soon!
Sunday, November 25, 2012
The hoops are back, and so am I?
Hello everyone!
It has been so long since I have posted anything (since the last day of the project sniff, sniff..). I say this because something happened when the project was over that I never expected.
The last months of the 365 were rough. I was getting burned out, exhausted trying to balance the project, my family, gallery shows, interviews and orders. I never wanted to complain out loud as I felt really fortunate to have so much success but I was secretly really struggling.
So that is why when the project came to an end I couldn't figure out why my mood wasn't improving. Wasn't this what I had been waiting for?
Weeks would pass and I felt myself becoming more and more depressed. I didn't know what to do with my self any more. I had spent a year of my life dedicated to this project and then it was just.... over.
I have embroidered just 2 pieces since the end of the project. Other than that I have made nothing. So what have I been doing? Other than feeling a bit sorry for myself... not a heck of a lot.
But recently I have started working in my notebooks, writing down new ideas, sketching out some new work and well.... just getting inspired again. I am starting to get excited about making things again. And then the most wonderful thing happened. My mood started picking up again. I am honestly so excited to open up my notebooks and start putting my new ideas in action.
I am reminded of what started the 365 project to begin with. To stop thinking about the wonderful things I am going to make and just start making them.
So I am pretty jazzed to start making new work. Though this time I can't commit to making something every day I am committing to making something every time I am inspired.
I can't wait to share this with all of you. I missed this blog!
On to the hoops!
So the hoops are all pretty much back home. They are all back from being on the road (what rock stars they all are!) The final pieces are arriving back from San Francisco this week. I am putting together all the remaining 365 pieces in a local gallery. (I will post the details later this week) I am looking forward to seeing them all up together and sharing them with my home town.
In the meantime I am committing to getting the original pieces up in the shop, as well as more prints. I will be listing all this week so keep checking the Etsy shop for updates.
So that's it! I have been meaning to do this post for sometime now and I thank you all for checking in.
I am really looking forward to another 365 Lucky Days.

Drum roll please....... Day 365!
I can't believe I did it!(Yes that is my congratulatory pat on my own back).
I'm putting my feet up and my needle down.
What a crazy year!
What have I learned from completing a 365 daily project?
So what's next?
I'm putting my feet up and my needle down.
What a crazy year!
What have I learned from completing a 365 daily project?
- If you do not water your plants for a few weeks they will die.
- Laundry does not fold it self.I
- If you don't sweep and wash floors for a prolonged period of time you husband will take notice.
- Sitting on a sofa sewing for 6 hours is not exercise. (back to the gym tomorrow? who am I kidding ... next week...)
- My husband was right and there was no way I needed as much fabric as I've been collecting. (I can't believe how much remains... )
- If you live in a house where someone is hand sewing every day you are bound to step on a needle (sorry guys!).
- If you work until late in the evening and only allow yourself a few hours sleep you will get burnt out and sick (and no one will feel sorry for you because what rational person would ever choose to embroider every day for a year?).
- I am not the only one who is still has a crush on Emilio Estevez.
- My parents always complained I never stuck with anything... and guess what... I did.
- That there is actually 366 days in 2012 but guess what? I had two day 97's (brain freeze... what can I say... there is NO way I am going back to renumber them all... gotta cut a girl some slack).
- If you work at something every day you get pretty good at what you`re doing!
So what's next?
- I am very excited to announce that the work featured during the 365 are going to be available as prints! I am hoping to get a few up and listed by the end of the week in the Etsy shop.
- Lots of new embroidery patterns from the 365 are coming soon too for you all that need to get your craft on!
- The Impresario Gallery is hosting a gala opening of the 365 Lucky Days show in Cobourg, Ontario this Friday 3-6pm all is welcome, if you are around I would love to see you there! The show is open until the end of September.
- Some of the 365 is also being showcased in the group show "Seeing Stars" at the Campfire Gallery in San Francisco opening this Thursday. If you are in the area check it out and tell them Lucky says "hi"!
- I want to take this opportunity to announce my availability as a freelance illustrator. This is the work I enjoy most and now that the 365 is completed my schedule just opened up!
- If anyone is looking for illustration work done with a needle and thread, I am an extremely dedicated artist with an excellent work ethic (another well deserved pat on the back ). You can contact me here!
But for now I am going to make myself a cup of tea. Get in my PJ's and reflect on what a great year I had.
Thank you everyone for your support. I couldn't have done it without you!

I'd be willing to bet my lucky four-leaf clover that carrying a rabbit's foot only brings nightmares of screaming cottontails. On the other hand, I do believe the folks who say that these delightful little three-legged pigs will bring good luck to giftees. I mean, just look at them:
I get giddy when I imagine the good fortune that I'll receive after I toss a handful of salt from my lucky piggy salt shaker over my shoulder. I'll have to wait until my birthday rolls around in June to score my own set (hint, hint), but you can receive yours much sooner just by telling us about a superstition that you just can't shake. Don't have one? Make one up. I did: Whenever Tim and I are out and about and a streetlight burns out over our heads, I plant one on his kisser. I know it's corny, but we don't see many shooting stars here in the city.
You know you want 'em, so post a comment that gets us feeling superstitious and you might win. We've got one set to give away to the person who posts the most creative entry.
The contest ends on March 3, 2010, and we'll choose one winner on March 5, 2010. Be sure to read our privacy policy and terms and conditions, as you're agreeing to both by commenting.

8th Annual San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival
Photo By: Andrea Cannistraci
journeyPod was again front and center at the 8th Annual San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival. This international showcase of the world's premier wines, spirits, chefs, culinary personalities, and gourmet foods did not disappoint!
We called Hotel Solamar home for the weekend, and chatted with GM, Mark Dibella for some inside scoop on this amazing property located in the heart of the vibrant Gaslamp Quarter.
Our weekend of gluttony included a Belgian Beer Tasting & Pairing with Chef Daniel Joly (Mirabelle at Beaver Creek). And at the Reserve and Limited Tasting Event, it was more than just wine... There was scotch! SipSmokeSavor was pairing scotches with chocolates.
It was a sunny San Diego Saturday for The Grand Tasting Event down at the Embarcadero where we ran into a number of unique luxury brands such as Chuao Chocolate, DelGrosso Sauce, Wild Hibiscus, and Ca'momi Wines.
Take a listen as we give you inside scoop on everything from crazy wine owners, to edible flowers, to how to live like a local.

A close friend of Kasandra Perkins described the last night of the young mother's life, before she was killed in the home she shared with Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher.
Police said Belcher killed Perkins early Saturday and then drove to the Chiefs practice facility at the Harry S Truman Sports Complex and took his own life.
According to police reports, Belcher spent several hours on the morning of the shooting sleeping in a car parked outside of an apartment building in the 700 block of Armour Boulevard.
Nikki Vivas, an on-air host at KCWE, said she and Perkins went to a Trey Songz concert at the Midland Theater on Friday night. She said Perkins was in a great mood and they spent the night dancing and having fun.
Police said that while Perkins was out, they were called to the Armour Boulevard apartment, where police found Belcher asleep. He told them he was waiting for his girlfriend to get home and let him in.
Vivas said Perkins knew Belcher had fans and groupies, but she said she didn't seriously suspect that there was another woman.
Vivas said she is thankful for the last few hours she spent with her friend.
"Why I was the special one, I don't know, but I feel blessed," she said. "I see that smile and think of us laughing and making jokes at the concert and that's what I'm going to hold onto forever."
She said she last saw Perkins about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, just seven hours before she died.
"We don't know, and nobody will ever know, what happened in that house," Vivas said. "We will never know the reasoning. The only two people who knew are gone."

When Skies Are Grey started in 1988, during that first heady rush of the fanzine boom. The plan, very simply, was to give supporters a platform. To this day, although the appearance of the mag has changed radically – we threw away the Pritt Stick years ago – that aim has never changed.
Moving to digital issues is another step in this direction, allowing us to produce a better, more up-to-date magazine.
We accept that moving away from paper will be seen as a radical step by some. I suppose it is. However with fixtures sometimes as much as three weeks apart and getting staged all over the weekend at increasingly ridiculous times it is a necessary one. We have to change. We can't keep ourselves tied to only being available for two hours before a home game.

Two seventh-graders collect more than $700 for LEAFB to replace stolen funds
Emily Hill / Staff photo - Makayla Lewis, left, and Cassidy Vance hold up money collected from their fundraiser drive to replace stolen money for the Little Elm Area Food Bank. The duo collected $756.58 from classes at their school.
By Emily Hill,
Published: Friday, February 22, 2013 12:50 PM CST
A giving heart knows no age.
Two Little Elm seventh-grade students took it upon themselves to organize their own fundraising drive at their school to replace a charity donation container that was stolen Jan. 27 from volunteers at the town's Kroger grocery store. The duo collected $756.58.
Makayla Lewis was one of the volunteers in Kroger's foyer collecting canned goods and cash donations for the Little Elm Area Food Bank when a young man in a dark sweater snatched the donation container from the collection table and ran outside to join his accomplice in a getaway vehicle.
A similar crime had been committed at a local Starbucks just days earlier.
"I felt bad because I was supposed to be getting the money, and they had stolen it while I was watching," Lewis said. "I just really wanted to collect it back."
Lewis and Cassidy Vance took action to organize their own fundraiser to replace the stolen charity donation container that had more than $100 in it. Vance suggested bringing the fundraiser to their school, Lakeside Middle School.
The girls wrote a proposal and presented it to the school for permission, which they said the biggest challenge they encountered was trying to get a meeting with Principal Ray Winkler.
"He's busy a lot," Lewis said.
After getting authorization from Winkler, Vance wrote names on bags and the girls split up the bags between fourth-period classes to collect money for the LEAFB. They made the collection into a competition between the classes-three first-place winners received a pizza party today and three second-place winners won a "sweats day," where students can wear sweats to school. Seventh-grade English teacher Misty Joaquin's class won the competition.
"It helped me because you could see that there are people who can't really afford the same things as you, and it's nice to see how many people actually care enough to bring the money," Lewis said. "You see how other people care for others."
Vance added that in one of the classes, a student brought in $115 to donate.
Both girls hope others learn from this experience as well.
"I hope it inspires them to help other people as well, even just donating the money to help people who can't do the same things as them and afford the same stuff," Lewis said.
"It doesn't hurt to help people," Vance added.
Both students will be honored at a Little Elm Town Council meeting next month for their outstanding achievements as model citizens.
"I think it'd be pretty cool to do it again," Lewis said. "I think [I would] expand it to other charities."

After the story broke last week that 20-year-old Sharmeka Moffitt supposedly had been attacked and set afire by three perpetrators in Civitan Park in Winnsboro, residents throughout northeastern Louisiana and beyond were devastated, outraged and looking for answers.
When an incident such as the one involving Moffitt occurs, it is a natural tendency to turn to the media for answers. We expect the media newspapers, magazines, television and radio to do its best in reporting the facts, to cite officials or authority figures who are personally involved in the case or that incident.
One media outlet in northeastern Louisiana that got to the bottom of case concerning Moffitt and correctly reported the facts surrounding the incident was
The Franklin Sun
. Instead of irresponsibly spreading rumors and innuendo perpetrated by social media and the like,
The Franklin Sun
stuck to what works best: the newspaper put its feet on the ground, did its own digging into the case, and relied on professional, trained law enforcement officials to tell us what happened at Civitan Park.
That is why
The Franklin Sun
learned and first reported that Moffitt set herself on fire and concocted the false story that three white-hoodied individuals burned her and wrote the inflammatory phrase "KKK nigger" on the hood of her automobile.
To be clear,
The Franklin Sun
did not obtain this information from the Internet. Instead,
The Franklin Sun
avoided the rumor mill and, in doing so, avoided a rush to judgment.
Sadly, that was not the case everywhere. A cursory glance at other regional media outlets during this breaking news story revealed one thing. Most media outlets were more interested in selling hot-button headlines than serving as voices of reason, fact and responsibility. After all, carelessly inciting a race war gets more Internet hits on a news web site.
Responsible journalism is not about pushing words around on paper as if they are completely disjointed from substance. The choices we as newspaper editors make in telling these stories shape public opinion. It is a tremendous responsibility.
The knee-jerk reaction, though, to hearing the racist words scrawled onto the hood of Moffitt's car spun the media into a race-baiting frenzy. And it put Franklin Parish on edge.
Other details in Moffitt's story seemed to skitter largely unnoticed. Before detectives had the chance to complete an investigation and, in some instances, before that investigation had gotten under way in earnest, headlines appeared in newspapers, on websites and in television news reports from northeastern Louisiana to the United Kingdom. Those headlines were designed to take the single most sensational piece of evidence and "sell" the product the newspaper, website or news broadcast based on the emotional response the headlines created in the reader. That kind of reporting was not only irresponsible, it was downright dangerous.
Examples abound.
An online article distributed by the venerated Associated Press carried the headline, "Louisiana woman says three racist men set her on fire."
The fact of the matter is Moffitt never said three racist men set her on fire.
By Monday evening, googling Moffitt's name revealed thousands of stories with headlines such as, "Black woman in Louisiana set on fire by three men, KKK spray-painted on her car," and, "Woman set ablaze in Louisiana KKK related attack."
The rumors did not stop at the inflammatory headlines. The Black Enterprise web site posed a question in their headline: "Louisiana woman set on fire by KKK over supporting Obama?"
In each of the erroneous headlines, from local media to national bloggers, the inclusion of KKK in the headline pushed the story to become the hot topic of the day. All the while, those media outlets overlooked pleas from Winnsboro Police Chief Lester Thomas and Franklin Parish Sheriff Kevin Cobb to reserve judgment, to stand united and to wait until investigators finished doing the job of investigating.
Thankfully, in hindsight, law enforcement officials avoided calls from local black leaders, media pundits and individuals from around the world to label Moffitt's "attack" a hate crime.
One organization that exercised appropriate reserve during the media frenzy was the NAACP's national office, which released a statement urging authorities to conduct a thorough investigation of the incident. Also, state NAACP president Ernest L. Johnson Sr. offered condolences to the Moffitt family but reserved judgment that Moffitt's "attack" was a hate crime.
What did Johnson, the NAACP's national leadership and
The Franklin Sun
know that so many other seasoned local and national media outlets did not know?
Perhaps it was the fact that social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter cannot be trusted. To put it another way, you just can't tell a whole story in 140 characters.
Yet, the reservations expressed by law enforcement officials and echoed by the leadership of this nation's largest and most vocal minority advocacy group went unheard. Instead of waiting, the irresponsible reporting continued. An updated story on a local news web site Monday afternoon portrayed the victim, Moffitt, as "clinging to life" as doctors fought to prevent her death at LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport. Gone, now, was any semblance of a "wait and see" approach to Moffitt's story. The fact was, according to "the media," Moffitt was attacked. Period.
There was just one problem: she was not attacked.
And for those journalists who allowed law enforcement to do their investigation, the reward came when the facts became known.
The officials had converged on the scene at Civitan Park as fast as they would have for any one of us. They took Moffitt's claims to be true and began their investigation based on her story. They gathered evidence at the scene, conducted analyses of that evidence and arrived at their conclusion. Only after investigators had examined enough physical evidence did they determine that the victim's burns were self-inflicted.
It is worth repeating.
The Franklin Sun
published the first verified and true account of the events in Civitan Park.
As they usually do, patience and responsibility paid off.
Within minutes of posting the story on The Franklin Sun web site, "Sharmeka Moffitt" was trending on Twitter. At first, people expressed outrage with The Franklin Sun for accusing Moffitt of burning herself. Then, as the details contained in
The Franklin Sun
report sank in, that outrage softened, vanished and then reappeared. Only, this time, the outrage was directed not at media outlets and not at the mythical involvement of the KKK.
People were angry with Moffitt.
There are lessons to be learned, to be clear. Social media is a powerful and dangerous force. It is a resource that can be used to spread information quickly, whether that information is true or not. Yet, should social media be used as a source for journalists pursuing the nuances of fact and truth?
The answer to that question is a resounding "no."

Four important points to know about Anderson.1. He lifted during a period that included 3 lifts. His snatch/c&j would likely have been higher without the press.2. He lifted during a period when the bar could not contact the body during the pull. He had to use very inefficient technique.3. He was forced out of the sport well before his prime because he made a little money on the side for charity.4. He was on top of the world. It's pretty difficult to instill in your mind that you need to lift vastly more when you are already setting world records. (however he DID continue to improve, see above)It is about squatting heavy. The Bulgarians you like so much were obsessed with squatting heavy.
Can't see how saying that emphasizing heavy squats is outdated proves its ineffective. The fact is that the level of weightlifting in the world is now of a lower level than it was 20-30 years ago, which would indicate the "new wave" is not necessarily superior. ;)
The second weight class change, which was far more stupid and destructive, was purely to erase the "unachievable records."
I'm speaking of the changing of the classic weight classes, which was done supposedly to allow room for women in the Olympics (the first time) but was also justified by claiming the old, superior records, were tainted. The second weight class change, which was far more stupid and destructive, was purely to erase the "unachievable records."
