The Catholic Church has been mired in a sex abuse scandal for years. Until recently, the largest perhaps was the wave of priest abuses of altar boys across the US for years that went unnoticed by the public but was brushed under the carpet by the Church hierarchy. In the US the Catholic Church's leadership simply moved abusive priests around from one market to another never warning new dioceses of the danger their children faced. This is a travesty. Presently, the sex scandal within the Church has now enveloped Ireland and Europe where the same series of events has been found to have occurred. In fact, even the Pope is now subject to claims that he personally assisted in ignoring, hiding, and covering up these abuses. My types of college and university courses are now utilizing these events within the Catholic Church for material in their classes. Courses on religion and theology, philosophy as well as crisis management are using the Catholic Church's sex scandal to assign essays, term papers, thesis projects and dissertations and it is producing a mass wave of new research on the subject. We have writers available who have developed a deep knowledge of the Catholic Church sex scandal ready to assist you.

Poznan Leads Rising Demand for Warehouse Space in Poland24 Jul, 2007, PoznanProLogis and Panattoni accounted for almost 30 per cent of total demand in H1 2007. Around 640,000 sq m of leasing transactions took place in the Polish warehouse market in the first half of 2007, compared with 900,000 sq m for all four quarters of 2006, according to global real estate consultant Cushman & Wakefield. The biggest rises in demand for warehouse space were in Poznan (118,500 sq m of warehouse space was leased in H1 2007, comparing with 118,000 sq m in 2006), Upper Silesia (165,000 sq m leased in H1 2007, and 167,000 sq m in 2006) and the Warsaw area (210,000 sq m in H1 2007, 280,000 sq m in 2006). Demand was generated mainly by logistics operators and retailers. Poland's modern warehouse stock currently stands at a total 3.15 million square metres, showing 43 per cent year-on-year growth, with a further one million square metres under construction. The most active warehouse construction regions are Warsaw (290,000 sq m under construction), Upper Silesia (250,000 sq m), Central Poland (180,000 sq m), and Poznan (170,000 sq m). Warsaw remains Poland's dominant warehouse market, with a total stock of 1.7 million sq m, accounting for 54 per cent of the country's modern warehousing. Ferdinand Hlobil, Partner and Head of Cushman & Wakefield's Central European Industrial Department, said: "Poland is currently one of Europe's most dynamic warehouse markets. The country is clearly benefiting from its location on the main transport routes between Western Europe and Russia, as well as the Balkans and Scandinavia, its size, geographically and in terms of population, and the availability of modern industrial space at relatively low rents. In addition, development has been boosted by improvements in the transport infrastructure, in particular in the motorway system. Occupier demand is being driven by logistics operators, as well as retailers from Germany and the Nordic countries relocating their operations to Poland." After the analysis of lease transactions of H1 2007, the leading developers in terms of the volume of leased space are: ProLogis and Panattoni (almost 30 per cent of total demand each). They are also building the biggest number of warehouses at the moment. ProLogis has still the leading market position in terms of the volume of existing warehouse space with a 35 per cent share in the existing stock in Poland. Cushman & Wakefield was involved in the leasing of nearly 100,000 sq m of warehouse space in H1 2007, equating to more than 15 per cent of total leasing transactions. More information about the warehouse market is available at www.industrial.pl.

There has been a great deal of interest in the new SocialAuthenticationFilter (SAF) work that was started by Yuan Ji and that I'm now polishing and preparing for a milestone release (hopefully this week). I've received many questions about it, including several via private email.
Understandably, this is a popular bit of work. SAF will solve the same problem as ProviderSignInController (PSIC)--that is, offering sign-in-with-provider functionality. It will do this with tighter integration to Spring Security, as part of Spring Security's filter chain. ProviderSignInController, on the other hand, will work with Spring Security (as it always has), but will be flexible enough to work with security mechanisms other than Spring Security.
Be aware that I have a modified Spring Social Showcase sample that uses SAF instead of ProviderSignInController in a local branch. I'm planning to share that on GitHub soon and hopefully that will clear things up. Since this is still a work in progress, I'm hesitant to push it yet, for fear that it may create more questions than it answers. But know that it should be there sometime soon. I'll follow up on this thread when it's available.

Hi there.
After much deliberation and practical hands-on time, I have realised that I enjoy (and shoot with) my mirrorless kit much more than I do the DSLR system I own. It's just a personal preference thing, no reflection on the quality of the gear involved. Like they say, the best camera is the one that's with you, and my NEXes tend to go with me, while the D7000 gets left at home.
But before I brave the classifieds, I was hoping to get some advice as to what price point I should be putting out there for my DX kit - not too high (no responses) and not too low either (people are naturally suspicious).
I could break the sytem up as well I suppose, but that will no doubt protract the sale process a lot more. I'm thinking this deal would probably only really make sense to a) someone with an FX setup that would be interested in a DX 'backup' system or b) someone who's been contemplating a DSLR system, is about to jump in and has the money to take advantage of an upfront bulk saving.
The kit consists of (mostly mint/great condition):
D7000, 10.5/2.8 Fisheye, 10-20/3.5 Sigma, 35/1.8G, 17-55/2.8, 105/2.8 VR Macro, 70-300VR, SB700, R1 Macro Kit.
I'm thinking 42k would be 'fair', but won't sell. 35k would be a 'good deal', but would take a few weeks to move. 30k would be a 'great deal' and sell, but I would be taking a much bigger knock.
Any suggestions?

JAMA Dermatology recently published a case-control study from the University of Pittsburgh wherein 4 smartphone applications (apps) designed to aid consumers in determining if a skin lesion is benign or malignant were put to the test. Digital images taken by dermatologists of 60 melanomas and 128 benign control lesions (prior to skin biopsy and dermatopathologist-determined diagnosis) were uploaded into these consumer apps, and there was a very broad range of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity.

Kentucky Court of Justice Volunteers needed in Metcalfe County to assist children placed in foster care
The Citizen Foster Care Review Board (CFCRB) of Metcalfe County is seeking volunteers to make a difference in the lives of local foster children. Volunteers are needed to review cases of children placed in foster care because of dependency, abuse and neglect.
"Volunteering with a review board is a very effective way to improve the lives the children in our community," said Julija Bozic, CFCRB field coordinator.
The Kentucky General Assembly created the Citizen Foster Care Review Boards in 1982 as a way to decrease the time children spend in foster care. CFCRB volunteers review Cabinet for Health and Family Services files to help ensure that foster children receive the necessary services while in out-of-home care and are placed in permanent homes as quickly as possible.
Nearly 750 volunteers serve as members of the 141 local review boards across the state. In the last year alone, the boards reviewed the case files of 8,333 children who were removed from their homes and placed into foster care. All volunteers must complete a six-hour initial training session, and consent to a criminal record and central registry check. A recommendation is then made to the chief judge of District Court or Family Court for appointment.
The Metcalfe County Citizen Foster Care Review Board meets bi-monthly on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 1:30 p.m. EST at the Metcalfe County Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) office.
For more information, contact:
Julija Bozic, Field Coordinator
Metcalfe County Citizen Foster Care Review Board
866-551-0040 or 207-746-7168
The Dependent Children's Services Division of the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) in Frankfort oversees the CFCRB program. The AOC is the administrative arm of the Kentucky Court of Justice and supports the activities of more than 3,400 court system employees, including elected justices, judges and circuit court clerks. The AOC also executes the Judicial Branch budget.

Exxon Acknowledges Climate Change, cuts CEI's funding
"We know enough now - or, society knows enough now - that the risk is serious and action should be taken."
Exxon Vice President for Public Affairs Kenneth Cohen
In an interview reported in the Wall Street Journal today, Kenneth Cohen began to shift Exxon's corporate positioning on climate change, accepting the reliability of the science and announcing that Exxon has stopped funding climate change deniers like the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI).
Cohen also told the WSJ that Exxon is expecting regulatory action soon and wants to be part of the discussion.
Exxon wants any regulation to be applied across "the broadest possible base" of the economy, said Jaime Spellings, Exxon's general manager for corporate planning. Exxon says avoiding a ton of carbon-dioxide emissions is, with certain exceptions, less expensive in the power industry than in the transportation sector. Though solar energy remains expensive, reducing a ton of emissions by generating electricity from essentially carbon-free sources such as nuclear or wind energy is cheaper than reducing a ton of emissions through low-carbon transportation fuels such as ethanol.
This is a hugely positive development: the world's largest oil company has stopped denying the fact of global warming in favour of talking about how to address it.
Bring on reality.

I also find it interesting that they talk about reductions based on how electricity is generated and reductions based on the choice of fuel, but don't go anywhere near increasing efficiency, using less power, or driving less.

BaByliss PRO Nano Titanium 1 1/4" Straightening Iron
AnynomousMemphis TNLove This One.I ordered this and recieved in 2 days- great work Folica. It is a great iron. I have used Chi in the past- This Baybliss works much better. I have to use on the highest setting as my hair is very thick and coarse. I gave it 4 stars because, as with other reviewers, I found that it left my hair smelling crispy- its not- actually in great shape- but it smells like the iron when it is hot. I was hoping it was temporary with the newness of the iron- but it has been 1 month. It doesnt really save me time, but the end result is much better. Can live with the smell- use products to disguise.posted Feb 1, 2008Link to this post
Silvia SotoSan Antonio, TXNo More FrizzI have lots and lots very course, frizzy & curly shoulder-length hair, and with this flat iron, I can completely style my hair to look straight and fabulous in 20 minutes or less. I can straighten out large sections of hair in 1 to 2 passes. Most imporatantly, my hair is not burned! I use the hightest setting, and voila, smoothe silky hair that stays that way until I wash it. I am truly amazed at the difference this tool has made in my appearance. I thank my two hairdresser friends who both raved about this tool and to Folica.com for their terrific pricing.posted Jan 28, 2008Link to this post
BrandieTXExcellent IronI love this iron. Much better than my Solia ceramic iron. I now only travel with my ceramic iron. One tip though, my stylist uses this one too and she says to be very careful not to drop it.posted Jan 23, 2008Link to this post
A Happy UserSan Francisco Bay AreaBabylissI have had this hair straightner for a few months now and I can not complain. It gets really hot if you like. I am an african american with very thin hair and I dont dare use the hottest setting. I have used it for about 4x and I am very happy with the product.I am thinking about getting another.posted Jan 23, 2008Link to this post
MinaChicagoA Life SaverI have very thick wavy hair that is past my shoulders. I have used other ceramic plated hair straighteners and would have to spend a minimum of 40 minutes on my hair to get it just somewhat straight. Now with the babyliss, I just glide it through my hair and in less than 5 minutes, I have absolutely straight hair that is soft and silky and shiny looking. I have never recieved so many compliments on my hair. This product is worth every penny!!posted Jan 16, 2008Link to this post
AlisonSouthern CaliforniaBest Straightner I've Ever Had!I have tried and bought so many straightners over the last 10 years. I have curly/frizzy hair that gets even worse in humid weather. Ive had many straightners from numerous brands (Hot Tools, Solia, Sedu, Conair, CHI etc) but Babyliss Pro Nano is by far the best! I always need to use the straightners on the highest setting to get my hair to stay straight, but with this straightner I dont have to! I also only have to run it through my hair one time before its straight!! My hair dresser has this straightner and it made my hair look amazing, so I had to get one for myself. Ill admit, I thought that this straightner would be like all the other ones i have tried and that it wouldnt look as good as when my hair dresser did my hair. I was wrong, it looks just as good! Its unbelievable! I would recommend this straighter to anyone and everyone!posted Jan 16, 2008Link to this post
MayangCaliforniaCan't Use Any Other Type Of Flat IronWOW!!! Absolutely amazing. I finally found a flat iron that makes me look and feel like I just stepped out of the salon. I am filipino with thick coarse hair and after using this iron my hair is silky soft. I usually dont write reviews but this was worth my time and others should know about it.posted Jan 3, 2008Link to this post
SabrinaSeriously The BestOkay this is the best straightner ever!! I am soo happy i bought this, leaves hair soooo sooo soft, shiny and straight! does not snag hair like the CHI....posted Jan 2, 2008Link to this post
TashaCanadaI'm A Believer!Id like to start by saying I have been buying strightning irons for the last 5 years, trying to find one that will actually do its job! My boyfriend had gotten tired of hearing me complain and descided to get me a really good strightner for Christmas. This is where the Babyliss Titanium comes in! It is seriously the most fantastic strightner Ive ever owned!!(there have been many) The strightning blades are longer than normal, which allows me to do more hair at once and the width of 1 1/2 inches is just perfact to be able to get closer to my head that I could ever with any other product Ive owned. I started with wet hair and its just past my shoulder for length also increadibly thick...In 35 miniutes my hair went from wet to dry to stright and looking wonderful!! (dried with a blow dryer)The Babyliss brand is one I trust but this Titanium is not a plating so it wont peel off, and it conducts heat very well. (Ive been keeping it on med...it can get very hot!) I noticed some reviews stating theyve burned their hair...TURN IT DOWN!! My hair has never felt so soft and looked more shiny than it did when I was finished using the Babyliss Titanium. I was only allowed to use it a couple times, now its wraped and under the tree waiting for Christmas, I cant wait!!!Id also like to mention how easy it was to order this item. I live in Canada and they had it shipped to me within 3 days from ordering, Folica rocks!!posted Dec 16, 2007Link to this post
Star JamersonMissouriGreatI was introduced to the Babyliss by my hair dresser and after that, i had to buy one. I am bi-racial so my hair is very curly. It straightens my hair and it only takes 5 mins. (my hair is shoulder lenght) I have recd to family and friends and i would never use anything else.posted Dec 6, 2007Link to this post

stlevania Mirror of Fate is an upcoming game published by Konami and created by MercurySteam for the Nintendo 3DS. It will be the first Castlevania game to utilize stereographic 3D. The perspective is in 3D, but movement will be confined to 2D in most areas. It will utilize a combat system similar to its predecessor, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. It will focus more on exploration than the original game did.
The game will feature four playable characters who will fight Dracula in his castle in different time periods. The game starts 26 years after the original Lords of Shadow game with Trevor Belmont, who is on a quest to destroy his father, Dracula, who was once Gabriel Belmont. Later parts of the game will feature his descendant Simon Belmont. Two other unannounced characters will be playable at certain parts of the game. The events of this game will lead up to the upcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 console game.
This straight from the page, it say is true it pretty much Belmont family trying to kill there the family founder nowing calling himself Dracul.
this atricle explain belmont clan live on.

I find myself more excited for this than LOS2. A 3DS is definitely in my future now.
Anyone getting OOE vibes from the art style?

Course Gab must been gone longer then nine months for his wife to get away not telling him about entire bearing there child.

"- Discover the history of your bloodline – Play as multiple characters throughout history, as you battle your ancestor Dracula, each time learning more about your history and why the Belmont clan must atone for the sins of their forebear. Dare you tempt fate?
- Choose your character – Multiple characters to enjoy, each with unique abilities and skills across different eras. Take control of the legendary Trevor and Simon Belmont and more, as you battle Dracula and his evil minions.
- Share new abilities through your lineage – Pass onto your descendants your newfound abilities in each era and discover the true destiny of the Belmont's. Featuring a huge array of combo's and a deep strategic combat system, this Castlevania is an exciting action game with tons of depth.
- Battle massive bosses – Experience titan fights in full 3D, climb, traverse and overcome huge bosses. Use your secondary weapons and magical abilities to take down these awesome foes.
- Features unrivaled Nintendo 3DS Visuals – Experience super high resolution and detailed 3D polygon graphics with side scrolling areas and full 3D sections combined.
- Utilize Focus & Magic – Use magic to turn the tide of battle! Kill enemies to gain experience and buy new combos and abilities using your travel book. Play well and you will be rewarded." source 1
The game's perspective is described as 2.5D, as the 2D perspective switches to a 3D point of view sometimes, eg. for finishing moves. There will be a map on the touchscreen, which you can use in order to mark spots you want to revisit etc. Unlike in the previous Castlevania titles for the Nintendo DS RPG-elements are not incorporated, which means there won't be leveling. However you will be able to obtain new combos by collecting experience points, just like in LOS. There might be fully synchronized scenes during the game. source2
Casey Lynch from IGN felt, that the game borrows smartly from its predecessor LOS, however she added at the end that "the E3 demo wasn't in-depth enough to communicate how true to a more Metroidvania-inspired vibe Mirror of Fate will remain." source3

I am afraid, that there won't be a lot of customization. Which is sad, I think. I would have loved to see a magic system similar to the Sorrow-Arc or OOE return.
However I am glad that there will be a focus on exploration.
What do you think so far?

I've read the other reviews and wonder why they could not use these pins to locate their bridges. They fit the guitar I used them for. They have helped me to repair two more pulled off bridges and I had no problem. Go figure..
The diameter on these pins is way to big. I have yet to find a bridge they will fit. A good idea poorly executed!
I don't think I've ever seen a guitar bridge these would fit. More sizes should be available... Til then I'll lathe a few sets from hardwood and wax em. Glad I didn't spend a lot on them. That said, they're a good idea I hadn't thought of til I saw it here.
You need to inform potential buyers that this item will not work with a 3 degree pin. I was not able to use them at all on the guitars I build and repair. Please offer them in two sizes!
For the cost of these, their usefulness is great. It made repairing a bridge much easier, allowing for quick alignment over the original holes and keeping the glue from flooding in to them.
This is such as simple item but it works really well and the glue does not adhere to them. Recent guitar in for a bridge reset but the peg holes were worn to the point where the pegs were loose in the holes. Normally I would use two of the pegs to align but in this case, that was not an option. Using the locating pegs completed the job beautifully. Oh! incidentally I did tell the customer he needed remedial action on his bridge which he declined.
I am on the same vein as a previous reviewer. These work very well-however they do require a little hand work to get the right diameter to fit into peg holes correctly. After that, they work great-just used them last week.
after checking and rechecking the measurements, turns out the bridge I had to reset was in the right place....tapped the two outer pins into the bridge, clamped, dried, perfect intonataion...great idea.
Such a shame that these are far too thick and wont fit through most pin holes without a lot of fiddley cutting. It is far easier to grease up some cheap bridge pins and use those instead. If thay fitted straight off they would be very useful.
While this is a great idea for bridge locating on repairs, I fouund the pins oversized diameter an issue. They did not go through both my Martin bridge and the bridge plate far enough to firmly hold the bridge in place. For one to turn down a tappered pin, one needs a lathe w/live center and dial indicator to center. This all could be avoided if the major diameter was smaller and more to true pin sizes with a slight over size. This stuff is not sandable or cutable with any ease. They were basically un-usable to me, at least so far. Since I am new to repair work, I also am not sure if both the bridge and bridge plate are tappered at the same time but if not, this can't work as the tapers with not match at the bottom of bridge and top of plate???

Is it NOX?
I haven't played it in a while, so I forget if there was XP, but I know your character was a modern day person thrown into a medieval world, so the hot pants and bra could fit.
Is it NOX?
I haven't played it in a while, so I forget if there was XP, but I know your character was a modern day person thrown into a medieval world, so the hot pants and bra could fit.
I almost went with Fable until I realized the world itself wasn't randomly generated. Hmmm... this is a hard one
Bah! My blog is fulla bollox! What? Don't believe me?Here! Just look at it!
I thought Minecraft for a bit but he said it was not an obscure little indie title.
I have no idea, will you PM me the name through? Sounds fun, won't spoil it for anyone, promise. :)
Guild Wars? When you start a pvp char at top lvl you dont xp or level up and still have char progression.
My guess is one of the early Elder Scrolls Games. Either Arena or Daggerfall.
Typical fantasy setting.
Randomised landscape.
Ability to choose nude or non nude mode at start.
No traditional xp gathering.
Single player.
Down side
Never played it so don't know whether you'd call the combat fun.
Don't know whether you count MS-DOS as DOS or not.
because she got a power and she can distoy us all the bad guys
revenant is the first thing that pops up in my head but I'm not sure if it has randomly generated stuff.
Earlier elder scrolls had character levelling, a lot of attributes & skills, nothing like the crap from nowadays. The landscape wasn't randomized for Arena, and neither for Daggerfall (it was randomized when the devs created the world for this one, but it didn't change for the players). I'd say they are pretty much disqualified.
I also thought of Nox as Oneironaut said, but it had levelling and a skills system and if I remember correctly the protagonist was a guy named Jack so there was no gender choice. My only guess would be something similar to... Legend of Zelda? But they aren't for PC and I can't remember many clones on this platform.

Indeed, I've been toying with an idea to just make a thread about unusual games and use this one as an example. But I decided this way would be more fun, the thread will be more future proof and we may (still) uncover some other interesting games.
Up to a point. Some people don't consider Heroes of Might and Magic(1-3) a fun game. But most people like it for its tactical combat. Without it, it would be just another Warlords.
No, it's not Nox :-). I'm a big fan of that game, but I wouldn't call it an RPG. An action-RPG perhaps, but it's an action game first and foremost. And a good one at that.
Nox has experience points, but they're meaningless since there's no grinding and only a single playthrough. In multiplayer everyone starts at max level, too. Nox has character levels, xp points, stats, and no random level generation.
Okay, a hint is in order. The game was released in 1997. I'll update the first post. And another one.
I'm not sure Wizardry would call it an RPG.

Diablo3 is not PvE or PvP, it is PvAH. -- Tei
I can't imagine a female Kain. Not to mention Kain wearing hotpants and bra. I was thinking Hexen II now that you mentioned the year... but it would be disqualified as well because of the levelling and gender thingie (well, the assassin was female... but no hotpants :P)
Hexen II ? Extreme customization ? As in, using one of 4 weapons a class has ? Randomly generated world ?
Diablo3 is not PvE or PvP, it is PvAH. -- Tei
It could be...it might be.... erm...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I don't even care.

Turn-based combat? Eastern or Western?
Okay, time for someone else to come up with a riddle. Since no one guessed it and people are getting bored, whoever comes up with the riddle first is allowed to post it.
Solution to Riddle1: Magic the Gathering - Shandalar
The last game MicroProse worked on. Sid Meier was one of designers.
It's based on cards but it still plays like an old-school RPG game.
- Character creation ? Check.
- Character development ? Check.
- Character customization ? Check.
- Towns ? Quests ? Dungeons ? Random encounters ? Check.
- Randomly generated world ? Check.
- Food ? Magic items ? Gold ? Buying/selling "equipment" and supplies ? Check.
- end-game bosses ? Check.
- fantasy world, with wizards, creatures, magic etc ? Check.
All character progression is done in the form of cards. When you duel someone, you cast spells from cards - creatures, artifacts, enchantments and others. As the time goes you get access to more spells and more powerful ones, including cards banned in M:tg because they were too powerful (like Black Lotus, Mox Diamond, Pearl, Sapphire, Emerald, Ancestral Recall, Time Walk...). Your deck typically has 40-60 cards, with a rule of thumb that 1/3 of it should be lands because they're your mana source. So in a 60 card deck you can easily have 40 unique spells, and there are literally hundreds of cards to choose from, spread across 5 colors (+ colorless cards, artifacts and artifact creatures).
Hotpants, as promised:
Roasting a marshmallow with flame breath comes free of charge.
Some music:
There are perhaps 10 tunes like that, some of them quite memorable and they all loop. They remind me of Master of Magic wizard tunes. Each town has a music assigned to it, and you can hear it getting louder as you get closer to it.
A decent "Let's Play" video (but the guy is playing extremely fast, talks a lot and makes mistakes):
Diablo3 is not PvE or PvP, it is PvAH. -- Tei
Sounds awesome, anywhere online it can be found or is it one of those hard to find ones?
I'm not going to post a link because I'd be burned at a stake. But I can recommend a modern fan-developed version designed to run on modern computers. It's called Slightlymagic.
Diablo3 is not PvE or PvP, it is PvAH. -- Tei
I shall definitely have a look :)
New one?
Real-time strategy similar to The Sims
It's not The Sims
Manage a group's needs
Develop relationships
Improve buildings
No really, it's not The Sims

Cops: Upper Darby teen attacked teacher with hammer; another made threats against middle school
UPPER DARBY – Township police announced the arrests this morning of two teens in connection with separate incidents at Upper Darby School District schools yesterday.
One is a 13-year-old student at Drexel Hill Middle School, and the second is a 19-year-old charged in connection with an incident at the high school.
Darlington James, 19, of the 200 block of Wingate Road who allegedly assaulted a teacher at Upper Darby High School with a hammer and stole her computer Tuesday afternoon.
James is charged with robbery, aggravated assault, simple assault, theft, burglary, criminal trespass, resisting arrest and related charges. He is expected to be arraigned in district court today.
Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said James entered the school Tuesday afternoon and knocked on the locked door of a classroom. The teacher, a 32-year-old woman, assumed James was a student and opened the door, Chitwood said. James allegedly forced the teacher to the ground and beat her with a metal hammer before stealing her computer and fleeing.
The teacher chased James through the school while yelling "help," garnering the attention of two male teachers who joined the chase, Chitwood said. The male teachers chased James outside the school, where police joined the pursuit. Police ultimately found James hiding in a rear yard of a home on the 1400 block of Bywood Avenue.
Chitwood said the teacher did not sustain any serious injuries but suffered cuts and bruises to her arms. James is not a student at the high school, and was responsible for a similar incident involving a teacher in mid-January, he said. Chitwood also said he believes James is responsible for a half-dozen other computer thefts.
The 13-year-old student at Drexel Hill Middle School is being charged with making terroristic threats after he allegedly threatened to shoot up the school Tuesday.
Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said an eighth grader overheard the 13-year-old talking about bringing a gun to school. The eighth grade student informed her mother, who alerted the school's principal, Chitwood said.
Police searched the 13-year-old boy's house Tuesday night. Chitwood said they did not find any guns, but discovered a steak knife in the student's backpack, which the boy claimed he was taking to school to protect himself in a possible fight. Chitwood said the conflict apparently involved another boy kissing the 13-year-old student's girlfriend. Continued...
Chitwood said no one was hurt and that school opened today. The 13-year-old student is being held at the Delaware County Juvenile Detention Center.
"When you hear, in this day and age, that somebody is going to shoot up a school, it's top priority," Chitwood said. "It's zero tolerance."

1. | hobo power | ||
The accepted unit of measure referring to the degree of offense of an odor.
One would have to reach the stench of ten hobos in order to gain a measurment of 10 hobo power. i.e. 8-10 hobo power(or HP) may describe the exhaust fumes from the bus that just pulled in front of you. A good broccoli fart might reach 25 hobo power. At 50 hobo power there is projectile vomiting. 100 hobo power has never been documented in nature. It is theoretical at this point in science, much like absolute zero. It is widely assumed that if one were to experience 100 hobo power, its effects would surely be fatal. I swear when Jimmy pulled that Yokozuna on my face, I almost puked. His ass must be about 45 hobo power.
2. | hobo power | ||
A term coined by TV and radio personality Adam Corolla.
The level of stink/stench that can be given off by a human being. The scale goes from zero (they have no scent) to 50, which according to the creator of the term 'hobo power', is theoretical. In his own words, "If you experienced 50 hobo power, you would die." One of the people who called in to the Loveline radio show explained he takes care of a mentality retarded man. He went home one night after his shift was over, and the next worker on the shift turned the heater up in the patient's bathroom. During the night, the patient went to the toilet and deficated, but missed and got some on the heater. The poor caller had to clean up the mess the next morning, and nearly threw up. Adam Corolla pegged the hobo power of the incident at about 26 or 27, stating that if the caller had slipped in the fecal matter, it would have been boosted to over 30.
3. | Hobo Power | ||
A unit of measuring the stench of bad odors, ie. hobos. Scale usually 1 to 100. One being nothing, 100 reachig the point of death. I rolled up the window and hit my buddy with a fart at 50 hobo power.
4. | Hobo Power | ||
Unit of measurement pertaining to smell. This bitch's vagina is about 25 hobo power.
5. | hobo power | ||
The Man show chosen SI units for stench where 50 hobo power = vomiting and 100 hobo power = death. (see Chrons) Guy1: dude this one time on this one time on the bus and Pat Austin puked everywhere, and people around us were gaging.
Guy2:yeah, i say gaging within a 10 foot radius is at least 50 hobo power plus 10. |
6. | hobo power | ||
a scale that ranks the smelliness of a flatulate. the scale represents how many hobos, or flatulates, of that magnitude it would take to clear a 10 story building.
Scale Rankings 1-2 - a fart so nasty it liquifies a person's clothing and immediate surroundings. Immediate evacuation is needed 3-4 - a rank given to a fart with the ability of making those in close proximity vomit uncontrollably 5-6 - a mid scale fart that will generally make people clear a certain area, but not necessarily make them vomit 7+ - regular farts, usually people will comment and stop eating food, however they will not need to make an effort to evacuate the immediate area. Example 1 -
Ricky: "Dude what happened to your clothes" Bobby: "I accomplished my life long goal man, I released a flatulate with a hobo power of 1" Example 2 - Bersell: "Dude it smells like a dead animal in your house" Foster: "That's because PK set free a hobo in there" Bersell: "Damn, that musta been at least a hobo power of 4" |

Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Searching for Motivated Belief: Introducing John Polkinghorne
Several times in my series of columns about "Science and the Bible," I briefly discussed a few ideas from John Polkinghorne, one of the leading Christian thinkers of our time. Although I presented him mainly as a representative of the "Theistic Evolution" (TE) view, much of his published work is about other topics, several of them largely or entirely unrelated to TE. It's time we got better acquainted with him.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Series: A Faith Journey in a Medical Science Career
(Needs a summary)
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.

The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. "Off with his head!" she said, without even looking round
Scientists Tell Their Stories: George Murphy
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Growing in Faith
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
A Pastor's Approach to Science
Since the sermon is the main component used to build the congregation's collective approach to understanding how the church relates to the world, I want to take a few moments to lay out what has worked in my preaching and what has not when it comes to science, and more specifically, the subject of evolution.
David Lack: Evolutionary Biologist and Devout Christian
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Series: Science and the Bible: Concordism
In this series, Davis identifies core tenets or assumptions about the view of concordism, beginning with propositions about the Bible before concluding with a short historical commentary.
For the Love of the World: John Stott and His Passion for Creation
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Letting God Out of the Box
I found myself in a very awkward situation. On the one hand I was a follower of Jesus Christ who loved the Bible, knew that it was God's Word, and, therefore, not full of lies. However, I also was someone who had loved science for many years and was planning on pursuing a career in research...
Scientists Tell Their Stories: David Wilkinson
"If I have one criticism of my fellow theologians from time to time, it's that they're often stuck in the physics of the 19th century rather than the 20th and 21st centuries."
Series: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
Introducing Ted Davis
Today we welcome Ted Davis as the BioLogos Senior Fellow for the History of Science. This week, Dr. Davis begins his regular posts on the BioLogos Forum with a bit of personal background; next week, he outlines his plans for an informal on-line course in the history of the science and faith conversation, with an emphasis on the Bible and science in the United States.

Mountain Mods U2-UFO Duality Computer Case (BLACK Powder Coat, UV ORANGE Acrylic Panels)
"If I accept the sunshine and warmth, then I must also accept the thunder and lightning."
- Mountain Mods U2-UFO DUALITY
Meet the Duality:
...sometimes two is better then one!
The Mountain Mods Duality Series of the U2-UFO offers you the ability to house TWO FULL ATX motherboards in a single case! The left side uses the standard ATX positioning while the right allows for another ATX motherboard in an inverted position. Four power supply ports are available for the heaviest of loads... you heard right.. this baby can hold up to FOUR Power Supplies! Six 120mm intake blow holes are aligned for the use of TWO Thermochill 1203 Radiators, making this case capable of cooling two seriously hot systems. This version of the U2-UFO Series is great for users that have a need for two systems or have a slight case of Jekyll & Hyde. ;o)
Mountain Mods Design Philosophy:
Mountain Mods computer cases are nothing short of a revolution in computer chassis design! ArcticMOD.com has joined forces with Mountain Mods in order to bring their full line of amazing cases to our customers. Simply put, we believe in these cases and in their design philosophy.
On first look, Mountain Mods cases are visually stunning, their cubical shape offered in a variety of high quality powder coat and brushed aluminum finishes. Every single Mountain Mods case comes in an amazing array of configurations and design choices, offering the buyer the ability to truly personalize their selection. The majority of Mountain Mods cases are designed as a cube, not simply to look different, but to offer the user an amazing amount of internal case space.
In the Liquid Cooling world, chassis space is a luxury not to be taken for granted. Internal chassis space is extremely important in order to fit all the many water blocks, reservoirs, pumps and tubing found in a professional Liquid Cooling system. All to often computer cases fall far short of the space necessary for a professional Liquid Cooling installation, and the user is left with a cramped, unattractive and impossible to service setup. Mountain Mods cases were designed specifically to offer the space needed in a Liquid Cooling setup. Each case's layout has been designed to offer flexibility and maximum configurability for hardware installation. In addition to all that space, Mountain Mods cases feature a modular design! Most of the major case sections, including the 5.25" Bays, Motherboard Tray and Hard Drive Bays can be removed with simple thumbscrews for fast and simple accessibility to the case sections. For those power hungry systems, most Mountain Mods cases offer the space for dual Power Supplies as well! (The Duality has room for up to FOUR Power Supplies!)
All in all, there is nothing ordinary about Mountain Mods cases.. they are unique and functional from the bottom up. If you are looking to make the most of your money, to own something truly unique and to have a case that will last a lifetime, then Mountain Mods is definitely the right choice for you!
Based On The Award Winning U2-UFO:
The Ultimate in Computer Chassis - Mountain Mods award winning U2-UFO. Triple 120mm intake fans align with the Thermochill 1203 radiators. (For the Duality, multiply this by a factor of two!) Two Power Supply ports allow for use of dual or redundant power supplies for the heaviest of loads. (Again, multiply by two! The Duality can have up to FOUR Power Supplies inside it!) An acrylic plate covers the optional port(s). The U2-UFO is fabricated by skilled workers in the USA. It is made from thick aluminum making it lightweight, sturdy, and thermally friendly. Casters are included for easy mobility.
Mountain Mods & ArcticMOD Join Forces!
ArcticMOD.com is proud to be the first Modding company in the world to carry the full line of Mountain Mods Computer Cases! As Liquid Cooling enthusiasts and as Modders, we recognized from day one that Mountain Mods had something truly special in their breathtaking case designs. Mountain Mods Computer Cases are unique, masterfully designed, functional, eye-catching, beautiful and elegant... they have everything that we personally look for in a Computer Case and as such are a perfect compliment to ArcticMOD.com. Our philosophy at ArcticMOD is to offer unique products and services to the Modding community, and to help push the threshold of Computer Modding. Mountain Mods Cases are truly exceptional, they are what Modding is all about, and we are proud to be able to present them to our customers. We would like to thank Mountain Mods for allowing us to present these products to our customers and for making this selection possible!
Please Note Before Purchasing!
Due to the overwhelming demand for Mountain Mods cases there will be an extra 1-3 day time frame for order processing on top of our normal shipping policy. We do our very best to ensure that each and every Mountain Mods order is processed in a timely manner and we will notify you directly should there be any unusual delay. Please feel free to

Body piercings are an awesome way of expressing yourself — they're less permanent than a tattoo, but more lasting than just wearing an outfit. Piercings can give added flair, edge, or whatever you're looking for in as subtle or as noticeable of a way as possible. Are you considering taking the plunge and going for a piercing? Than look no further.
Here are some tips to consider before and after getting a piercing:
1. Do I really want it? Don't do an impulse piercing. Although people always say, "Oh, it feels just like a pinch!", let's face it. Piercings can be rough. While the actual process of piercing varies in pain depending on the body part (for example, a nose piercing is way more painful than your earlobe), it's the aftermath you have to think about. Everyone's skin sensitivity is different but piercings require care and infections will most likely happen for everyone at some point. You want that stud in your upper cartilage? Make sure you want it enough to deal with the aftercare!
2. Where should I get it done? I was seven years old when I first got my lobes pierced. If my mother dragged me into a piercing and tattoo parlor, I probably would've ran away screaming crying. But Claire's is not the way to go. I went to a family-run jewelry store when I was seven and although they were more professional than a chain like Claire's, the best option is to go to the doctor for a young a child, and a piercing parlor if you're older. I got my left cartilage done in February 2011 at Rockstar Body Piercing in Providence, RI. When I walked into the parlor, I asked why they refused to use a gun. They explained to me that using a gun on the cartilage, for example, would be like taking the end of a baseball bat and ramming it full-force into a window. The window doesn't fall part to pieces, but it cracks and shatters like this. And that's what happens to your cartilage, ladies. Stick with a needle and someone who's had professional training.
3. How do I take care of it?
- Do not, I repeat, do not use you rubbing alcohol to clean your piercings. Use sterile saline wound wash, which you can find at your local pharmacy or here. Rubbing alochol is harsh and will likely aggravate the piercing, whereas saline wound wash is the purest way to disinfect.
- If you want to do more than disinfect and also heal your piercing if it's struggling, than use tea tree oil, which you can also find at a pharmacy or here. This tip was passed down to me by a friend who has an industrial piercing (ouch, right?!) and she claims it works like a charm. When I used it on myself for my infected cartilage piercing, I was shocked. Swelling reduced by at least 70% after the first night and it was healed in a few days time. Put a few drops of it on a q-tip and rub it around the front and the back of the piercing (don't take the earring out!) and you should be set. It'll smell very strongly like mint and probably leave a white film over the area, but this stuff is magic, I swear.
- I don't know why I was ever told to do this, but if your piercer tells you to twist the earring in the new piercing, they're wrong. Do not twist the earring(s) in your new piercing(s); it is essentially a raw flesh wound. Let it heal! If you go to a parlor, they're going to use an earring made of surgical steal — not cheap, faux-silver that could get "stuck" in the ear — and, therefore, there's no need for it to be twisted repeatedly.
4. What else should I do before I go get one? Check out the Association of Professional Piercers for all the information you need to make a thorough decision. Make sure to consult with the piercing parlor over the type of metal they use in their earrings, how they pierce (go for needle, not gun!), and their experience level/ training. Don't let a person with a huge amount of piercings or tattoos scare you off. This is their job and they're good at it!
What has your experience been like with piercings, Lovelies?

The annual New York in Bloom fundraiser runs from Friday through Sunday. The event features more than 100 floral displays throughout the museum, all to help raise money for the museum's children's programs. One of the first displays visitors will see is in the lobby is the "Once Upon a Time" theme. It has several items from the museum's collection.
"We do about 3,000 stems for our display. And it takes probably about a thousand hours between all the planning, coordinating, staff, labor, getting it all put together. But it's all worth it, it's a great program," said David Michael Schmidt, Renaissance Floral Design.
The event runs from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

"Potatoes, bacon and eggs unite in this all-in-one breakfast cupcake." — Inez
Watch video tips and tricks
2 red potatoes, peeled and grated
2 bulbs shallots, chopped
6 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 eggs, beaten
1 roma (plum) tomato, thinly sliced
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced (optional)
These were liked alright by my family, but not a huge success. I had wanted to freeze them for quick breakfasts for them. They did not freeze very well at all.
I added sausage with the bacon and a little cheddar cheese to fit with my family's taste. Also, since I don't much like warm tomatos I didn't broil mine. The recipe needed a little salt but was overall good. The kids liked them. Next time I may try green onions and add a little feta in with the eggs.
7 Ratings
Basically a baked omlette. I added green peppers and spinach. Next time I may add some ham.
Husband and guests loved this..I though it was a little bland..however, I used cheddar instead of Parmesan.
I adjusted this to fit our taste and by what we had on hand. It is a great basic recipe to build off of and add variety, even in the same batch. I think this would be great to pre-bake for camping, then reheat, without the tomatoes or avacado.

A fourth man has pleaded guilty and another is charged in connection with a Mississippi hate-crime case.
James Craig Anderson, 47, was run down June 26, 2011, by a pickup truck outside Metro Inn on Ellis Avenue in Jackson, police said.
Deryl Dedmon, who prosecutors said was the driver of the pickup truck, Dylan Butler and John Aaron Rice pleaded guilty March 22 in U.S. District Court. They have yet to be sentenced.
William Kirk Montgomery, 23, from Puckett, Miss., also pleaded guilty to conspiracy and federal hate-crime charges on Tuesday.
Another man, Jonathan Kyle Gaskamp, also appeared in federal court Tuesday wearing shackles.
Federal prosecutors said Gaskamp was with Dedmon, Butler and Rice earlier on the night Anderson was killed, but he did not go to Jackson on this occasion.
Prosecutors said starting in April 2011, Gaskamp and the three other Rankin County men were involved in a campaign targeting African-Americans they thought were homeless. The men were accused of throwing bottles and using slingshots to hurt African-Americans they encountered in and around Jackson, prosecutors said.
"It's not over," said Anderson's sister, Barbara Anderson Young. "We are still seeking justice for my beloved brother, James Craig Anderson."
Anderson's sister was in federal court Tuesday, where Gaskamp and Montgomery admitted they planned to go to Jackson to target African-Americans the night Anderson died.
"It was just devastating to know that someone could do such a thing to someone, and my brother was such a good person," Anderson Young said.
