Well, one time my brother, cousin a friend of ours and I were drinking. We had two different vodkas and Heineken. From what they told me, at one point we were singing RHCP songs and a while later I went into the bathrooms holding on to the walls so as not to fall. They heard me making a lot of noise in the bathroom (probably dropping everything.) After coming out, I apparently nearly cracked my head on a cabinet door with a glass window. I got up and saw that they had all readied themselves for sleep. I proceeded to lay on the couch with my cousin, where he then pushed me off him and threw me a blanket as I curled up on the floor. It seems that I began talking to myself shortly after. Maybe not the craziest story but I thought it was funny because I don't remember that happening
I have been drunk enough that I had to grab grass to keep from falling off the face of the Earth.

This was like a really weird romp through town... Sorry if it is disjointed, most of it was pieced together the next day.
Umm... lets see, on one of my friends birthdays we get pretty drunk before going to this bar downtown with a bunch of people. Me and the birthday boy end up getting kicked out of the bar. He has a fake ID, I don't. His gets confiscated and I end up in a stupid argument with the bouncer about my ID for some reason... Then they kick me out after, probably because they felt like it, not really sure.
Then Apparently birthday boy tried taking a leather jacket that was lying on the street and almost gets arrested. The rest of our friends come out, half of us ditch the other half (including the birthday boy), because there is some party somewhere else. We don't want to get a cab, so we hop into this random girls car, that was just driving by for some reason...... No clue why she agreed to drive 4 random drunk people. Apparently she couldn't drive stick, and was borrowing her friend's car.
She would keep it in first gear the whole time and never shift (city driving, but still). So, I'm hammered in the front seat telling this random girl how to drive stick, and reminding her to stop at stop signs. In retrospect, not sure she was sober either. (don't trust strangers kids) We get to the party, It sucks. Leave, smoke a bit with a few acquaintances, then go to another party. Apparently these acquaintances are the only black people that anyone has ever seen, awkwardness ensues they leave or something. Go into the basement find the birthday boy we left downtown raving out shirtless with 3 dudes in a black light basement to techno while probably on molly (with glow sticks).
**Not sure what else happened here...
End up waking up in this girl's apartment above where the party was. Cab home, the end.
I never ever been drunk. Just by drinking one beer I get pretty loopy XD. It is too funny. Still I stop there. I am more into Spanish Red Wines and liqueur drinks. Like South African Amarula. Tastes like chocolate milk with a lot of alcohol in it. I been to Naxos once and got myself one of those green and yellow ones. Banana liqueur and citrus/lemon liqueur. Damn I want that Amarula but I know better. Discipline man discipline. *runs*

My friend was so drunk I had to basically carry her down Telegraph in Oakland to my car... people probably thought I was kidnapping her. She managed to get stuck in a bathroom at a restaurant beforehand while we were walking around, that was awkward enough but she decided to puke on the sidewalk during the time she could still stand up as well. I'd never seen her like this before seeing as she was a heavy drinker and never lost her shit this bad. Later I found out she'd been dry for a while before this and was not eating as well so that probably lead to it.
Drunkest I've been? Puked in the acoustic guitar of a guy I hated at a party, I also managed to hit the ceiling. I was kinda proud when I heard the story. The previously mentioned friend had to clean up after my mess so I guess we were even at that point.
Ahhh high school, what a fun time that was
21 years old and i have never drank and i don't plan on it straight edge folife ;D
Black. My heart is filled with rage
After a night of drinking, i was so drunk i fell asleep against the backdoor of my house and because my dad has to work at 9AM and the backdoor opens outward he had to make a detour to grab me, open the door en throw me on the couch where i woke up around midday
You can be straight edge and still drink. A little alcohol every now and then can do some good. I actually didnt even start drinking till I was about 23.
Ive never been falling down stupid drunk but I did get sick once a few months ago after drinking beer, rum and gin. I had to go to work right after the bar and I ended up throwing up all over my office bathroom. I vowed never to drink beer again that night.
I believe there's a God above, I'm just the God of everything else!
I once got so drunk that I apparently got kicked out of a bar, punched people out and got arrested. I have no memory of that night. It was also in UK.

and I walk around like I got a 36" chain.

Saw a homeless man, drunk, peeing on the side of a church. Only reason I saw him was because I was wasted doing the same thing. Ah, good times.

Alright so for a good drunk story I have a few but my all time favorite is one night I was partying in Huntington beach and got a ride home with my boys. I fell asleep in the car from obviously being drunk and tired, and ended up waking up being pulled out of some random persons car at 3am. I guess my brothers were looking for me for hours and said I was in a car sleeping in the backseat a block down. I don't remember shit but its still funny thinking about it.
So, I can think of a few off of the top of my head. I don't blackout when I drink well... except the one time someone fed me a bunch of xanax, too...
First one: I had JUST come back from China during high school summer vacation, and my boss at my english-teaching job provided me with a few bottles of expensive Bai Jio, which is CALLED white wine in China, but is actually very potent liquor, often stronger than you're average 80-proof vodka or rum. Well, I had to take night classes as well, but I was in night classes (I have a few night school stories as well) with a bunch of my neighborhood friends. So, just before class I decide to eat dinner. I was super baked at that point, so I ate a whole SHIT TON of egg noodles with I think alfredo, and drank red kool-aid. Then, I met up with my friends, and we got super drunk before night school. While in class, I was goofing off, and somehow ended up flat on my back on the ground. So, I did a back extension roll to get on my feet, accidentally kicking a kid in the face in the process. I IMMEDIATELY let loose the entire contents of my stomach all over the place, which just happened to be mostly-unchewed BRIGHT PINK egg noodles... Wasn't too funny for anyone else I bet, but to me, it was HILARIOUS seeing bright pink egg noodles everywhere, realizing that I had the munchies so bad that I didn't even bother chewing. And for some odd reason, nobody, not even the teacher, ever brought up alcohol, in fact, I wasn't even so much as scolded, surprisingly!
Second one: I was 19, drank a half a bottle of Tullemore Dew whiskey, as well as QUITE a bit of 151, as well. I was SO hammered! It was the first time I successfully did a backflip drunk, but shortly thereafter, since we were in the woods, I fell asleep sitting up on a log. I woke up at 3:30am (I always check my watch immediately when waking up), I realized that I had fallen off the log, and was now sleeping IN a thorn bush... However, I was still WAY drunk, so I just wiggled a little, and fell right back to sleep in the thorn bush. Didn't leave the thorn bush until almost 9 in the morning...
Third one: Up in Philly, drinking with a bunch of my Irish friends. Between a few of us, we killed a gallon of the NASTIEST green whiskey I've EVER had. We then proceeded to walk around town. Now, as I am a ninja, especially a drunk one, I didn't walk much on sidewalks. I was running on the solid awnings (that's what the overhangs in front of stores are called, right? I forget...), climbing buildings, jumping all over the place, doing flips off of things,, etc. We ended up at a diner, where I had one sip of coffee and proceeded to run outside, where I heaved an heaved constantly until we were well on our way home. Come to find out the next morning, I had minor alcohol poisoning and a broken foot from jumping off of a building...
Fourth one: My cute friend, I don't want to be too specific, so I'll call her "A", but it's funny because her last name's "Booz", wanted to chill, and I was down. We got a bottle, and were drinking around my neighborhood. We ended up getting hammered, so I offered my place. I let her have the bed, and set up my cot on the floor. A short while later, I hear, "You should just sleep in the bed! We can just cuddle!" Now, I am a VERY big fan of cuddling, snuggling, and all the like. So, I took her up on the offer. However, a very short while into it, she started touching my inner thigh. I said, "Look A, I think you're cute and awesome.... But I don't do one night stands or hookups or anything, but I AM a guy, so I need you to stop..." She stopped... for almost 30 seconds... This repeated a couple times, until I caved... When I woke in the morning, I realized that I had been the one taken advantage of. But fortunately, I'm a guy who got taken advantage of by a cute girl, not the other way around, so my first thought was, "ALLLLLLRIGHT!!! I got RAPED! :D", which I actually said out loud...
Fifth one: At a DJ Shadow show in DC with a few friends. Got hammered. After YEARS of being able to do backflips proficiently drunk, and even getting out of a DUI by doing a backflip, I decided to show off. I failed, landed on my ass, knocked a buncha shit over, and got cut off... lol!
Keep in mind I do NOT drive drunk! It only happened a handful of times, long ago, when the person who promised to be DD ended up drunk, and all my friends insist on me driving, since I seem to be the most proficient.
I'll end mine at Fifth, because that's a size for a bottle of liquor.
But on another note, I have another story, related to drinking, but not a drunk story. My friend David was working at a place called Kids Co, which is kinda like an activity center for kids to be active. He had been up late drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. Well, he went into work the next day without a shower, and when the kids gathered around, one of them shouted, "You smell like my Daddy!"

Ok, I've got a couple good Mexico stories, so here's one of the better ones. It's long but bear with me… My friends and I are in Cancun for the first time and we're getting ill. It's like 7am and we're not ready to stop. So my buddy makes a "purchase" from a cabby. At this point we're down to get down so we ask the cabby what's still open. He replies "well there's one place open, but you don't want to go there it's for locals only". I'm like hell yeah we do take us there now. So he hesitantly takes us to a tiny little place called Risky Times. This place looks like a little restaurant or something, so we walk in and there are 4 tables and 4 Mexicans and its dead silent. Like in the movies when the Gringo's walk into the wrong place. I say something along the lines of our cabby said there's a club here? Without uttering a word they point to a tiny metal spiral staircase in the far corner of the place. So me and my buddy Brian just start going up, my friend Kurt and his very white girlfriend are having none of this and want to leave. Well, they didn't have much of a choice as me and B are already halfway up the stairs. We get to the top and holy shit! There's like 60 locals all giving us the evil eye, but they're playing some sick breaks, so I just start getting down. I'm the only one on the dance floor and I'm going nuts, and I'm also one of the only 4 white people there. From there it's gets really strange. Two factions formed among the locals the ones that were literally going to stab and rob us, and the ones that were like "these white boys are cool". They couldn't remember my name so they just called me Miami which is where I told them I was from. Brian and I are having the times of our lives. My other two friends are begging us to leave, but we weren't having it. A lot more went down in Risky Times that night including a straight up brawl between those that wanted to rob us and those that had our back. I'll leave out the rest as it is most certainly not appropriate for a CR forum. Side note: Brian went back by himself the next night and we almost missed our flight because he showed up at like 10am. The entire plane had already boarded and finally Brian stumbles on. He passes out on the flight and the attendants can't wake him up when we land, so they're about to call the medics and I just push them all aside and slap Brian as hard I possibly can while screaming in his ear. The attendants are freaking out now and telling me to stop, but I assure them I can handle this. So, I got his ass up and off the plane. They almost didn't let us back in the U.S. but that's another story.
Now THAT'S my kinda partyer! Makes me almost wish we could mention the unmentionables in our stories!

I know how that is, too... Only I don't have any Shaolin outfits, just Chinese kung fu stuff... Only people call me Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan without me asking them after I do some stunts...

Texas Judge Expected to Rule in Bible Verse School Banner Suit
A group of teenage cheerleaders are expected find out today from a Texas district judge whether they can continue to display Bible verses at high school football games.
The cheerleaders at Kountze High School sued the district after officials said they could no longer use scripture on banners, such as, "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
The district banned the use of religious messages after the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation complained. The group says the messages violated the First Amendment prohibition on government establishing a religion.
State District Judge Steve Thomas issued an injunction allowing the cheerleaders to continue using Bible verses until he made a decision. He set a hearing for Thursday, when he was expected to rule on the cheerleaders' case.

Man Shoots Granddaughter, Mistaken for Intruder
ROCHESTER (AP) - Rochester police say a grandfather shot and critically wounded his teenage granddaughter after mistaking her for an intruder.
Authorities say the man and his wife were asleep and awoke to a noise outside about 11 p.m. Monday. The man grabbed his handgun and told his wife to call police as he went to investigate.
Capt. Brian Winters says the grandfather saw a figure at the back door and fired at least two shots. The figure was actually the man's 16-year-old granddaughter, who he thought was inside the house. The teen had recently been living with her grandparents. She was hit once in the upper torso.
The 61-year-old grandfather told police there had been a recent burglary at a nearby recreation center and that was on his mind when he went to investigate the noise.

Cornered ex-cop Dorner posed unique threat
A coroner's office in California is studying the charred remains found in the burned out cabin where they believe suspected killer Christopher Dorner had fled to. (Feb. 13) AP
Ex-cop with a vendetta made for troubling standoff
In the end, disgraced Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner was cornered.
A vengeful shooting spree ended in barrage of bullets and a raging fire that swallowed the cabin in the San Bernardino mountains where police say Dorner hid on Tuesday. A medical examiner will determine Wednesday whether charred remains found at the scene are Dorner's.
Dorner outgunned and outran police for days in Southern California. His training in the military and then as a police officer multiplied the challenges for law enforcement, said retired FBI hostage negotiator Gil Torrez.
"You're dealing with someone as a police officer who may have skills that are comparable to yours, a former colleague in the profession," Torrez said. "You have to think about what he knows. He may know something about your tactics and procedures. He may be able to look downfield. You have a very tough adversary."
BIG BEAR: Resort town stunned by deadly shootout
Police say Dorner fled to a cabin in the mountains near Big Bear Lake on Thursday, four days after the deadly shooting spree began. After two maids inadvertently discovered him, he left, stealing two cars and fleeing into the woods on foot to a vacant cabin. He shot at sheriff's deputies who followed him to the cabin, killing one, before barricading himself inside. Police say he never emerged.
San Bernardino sheriff's deputies faced a challenging situation once Dorner holed up in the cabin, said Torrez, now a private investigator in Texas.
"Once you have somebody who has a vendetta and they've decided that they are going to do something heinous regardless of the outcome, then you've got your hands full," Torrez said.
Dorner seemed combative and unlikely to surrender easily, Torrez said. A negotiator could have attempted to get the suspect to vent about why he felt wronged, he said. Other tactics include bringing in a family member as leverage, Torrez said.
"I think any unit, any agency, had they had the opportunity, would have tried to get into his head," Torrez said. "The opportunity did not seem to present itself. He was combative from the minute he was confronted with any law enforcement."
There were indications Dorner was ready to die.
In a profanity-laced letter attributed to Dorner, the author had laid out his grievances against the Los Angeles Police Department and various officers who he claimed wronged him, ruined his law enforcement career and ultimately destroyed his reputation.
The LAPD dismissed him Jan. 2, 2009.
"Self-preservation is no longer important to me. I do not fear death as I died long ago on 1/2/09," the letter read.
In end, it appears officers threw tear gas canisters into the cabin and shouted at Dorner to surrender. A single shot was heard inside before the cabin caught fire, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Police have not explained what started the fire.
Torrez says it's unlikely that police would have deliberately burned down the house. Officers may have lobbed a canister of tear gas or another agent into the home that ignited something else, he said.
SWAT team commanders would have analyzed the situation before deciding how to approach Dorner, Torrez said. Commanders would have considered whether Dorner had hostages, weapons or particular demands, he said. They would control the area to ensure no one can get in or out.
"It's one thing to be holed up by yourself and another to have innocent lives inside with this person. The tactics are different," Torrez said. "If it's a lone person, you don't worry too much about the loss of life, even though tactically, law enforcement always tries to resolve it without firing a shot."
All of the options carry risk, he said.
"That's a decision not made easily by commanders in the field," Torrez said. "Law enforcement is not an exact science

On February 27, 2014, the Longview City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 3262 which amends the zoning code to address recreational marijuana land uses that are allowed by Washington State Initiative 502. The ordinance becomes effective on April 4, 2014. It was based upon Longview Planning Commission recommendations.
The zoning code regulations will allow recreational marijuana retail outlets to locate in five zoning districts. They are:
Recreational marijuana producers and processors will be allowed to locate in four zoning districts. They are:
In addition to the above zoning district restrictions, no recreational marijuana land use can be located within a residential district or within any residence. Also, no recreational marijuana land use can be located within 250 feet of a residential zoning district or within 250 feet of a RV, trailer, or mobile home park. Growing recreational marijuana outdoors is prohibited. A link to the Ordinance Number 3262 is given below. Please see the ordinance for all of the changes to the zoning code related to recreational marijuana.
The City-adopted buffers are in addition to the buffers required by Initiative 502. Under I-502 no recreational marijuana producer, processor or retail outlet can be located within 1,000 feet of an elementary or secondary school, playground, recreational center or facility, child care center, public park, public transit center, library, or any game arcade where admission is not restricted to persons age twenty-one or older. The Washington State Liquor Control Board is the agency responsible for determining whether an application is within those buffers or not. Below is a link to a map showing the City's buffers and the City's interpretation of the I-502 buffers.

CRESTVIEW � Social studies students in Shoal River Middle School�s Mustang Learning Community have learned about the seeds of hatred following a recent assignment.
CRESTVIEW � Social studies students in Shoal River Middle School�s Mustang Learning Community have learned about the seeds of hatred following a recent assignment.
The "...and justice for all� curriculum allowed students to discuss how prejudice and stereotyping breed adversity, MLC language arts teacher Cathy Clendennin said.
"The students� goal was to try and end hate through educating others about how it happens and what individuals can do to help stop it," she said.
Whether using PowerPoint presentations or displaying homemade posters throughout the school, each group of students used a different platform to spread their message.
Suyen Vilchez, 12, and four classmates produced a video in which Luke Lindenberger bullies Coby Aguilar. To retaliate, Coby works out and confronts Luke and they fight. However, they both find themselves in the principal's office.
Each group member, including Melea Stokes and Olivia Clendennin, played a role in the production, from writing and performing the skit, to shooting it and editing the video.
"You really shouldn't judge somebody just by their appearance; judge them by their character," Suyen said.
Sixth-graders Julianna Roberts, Kennedy Toolan, Jacob White and Thandie Nzombola created the book, "Please Like Me Tabby,� about the initially tense relationship between a dog, Spot, and a cat, Tabby. In the story, a cat rejects a dog�s attempts to befriend her because she hates dogs, Julianna, 11, said.
She and her group were one of several to share their projects with classes at neighboring Riverside Elementary School.
Vonda Todd, a third-grade Riverside teacher, said she enjoyed the book so much that she requested a copy for her classroom.

Ill start from the beginning. I went to the customers house there was a leak on the return manifold. I tried to get replacement parts but was unable to... so i replaced the supply and return manifolds. Since doing so the floors dont get warm enough and the kick board heaters(2nd stage) are over heating. I cant seem to get any heat to the floors.
There are 3 zones two of which have 2nd stage kickboard heaters. The system isnt piped primary secondary like i would of liked, the supply and return run out from the boiler first tying into the first kickboard heater then the infloor radiant heat manifolds then to the last kickboard heater to complete the loop.
I have the infloor looped balanced at .75 gallon a minute according to the gauges on the supply manifold, the radiant mixing valve set to 120 degrees. The tubing is 1/2 inch pex
bad picture but gives you an idea of how its piped. What should the flow rate through the pex to get good heat transfer? Any info would be great thanks

PumilioPumilio-like repeats
|SMART accession number:
|Pumilio-like repeats that bind RNA.
|Interpro abstract (IPR001313):
The Drosophila pumilio gene codes for an unusual protein that binds through the Puf domain that usually occurs as a tandem repeat of eight domains. The FBF-2 protein of Caenorhabditis elegans also has a Puf domain. Both proteins function as translational repressors in early embryonic development by binding sequences in the 3' UTR of target mRNAs [(PUBMED:9393998), (PUBMED:9404893)]. The same type of repetitive domain has been found in in a number of other proteins from all eukaryotic kingdoms. The Puf proteins characterised to date have been reported to bind to 3'-untranslated region (UTR) sequences encompassing a so-called UGUR tetranucleotide motif and thereby to repress gene expression by affecting mRNA translation or stability.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker's yeast), five proteins, termed Puf1p to Puf5p, bear six to eight Puf repeats [(PUBMED:15024427)]. Puf3p binds nearly exclusively to cytoplasmic mRNAs that encode mitochondrial proteins; Puf1p and Puf2p interact preferentially with mRNAs encoding membrane-associated proteins; Puf4p preferentially binds mRNAs encoding nucleolar ribosomal RNA-processing factors; and Puf5p is associated with mRNAs encoding chromatin modifiers and components of the spindle pole body. This suggests the existence of an extensive network of RNA-protein interactions that coordinate the post-transcriptional fate of large sets of cytotopically and functionally related RNAs through each stage of its lifecycle.

Dear Match.com,
Honestly I can't believe that Jeff & I became connected but I am incredibly happy we did!!! Here's my story: I subscribed to match.com in June of 2010. When I filled out my profile, I entered 50 miles as the farthest distance, along with my detailed profile… (Jeff lives almost a 100 miles from my doorstep but we'll get to that!). I went on about 5-6 "first dates," some nice gentlemen, some not, either way, no matches. I had 2 weeks left on my subscription and was ready to throw in the towel. That morning, I received a "Daily 5" in my inbox. I would always look over them but had NEVER once checked any of the boxes indicating my interest. Well, I saw Jeff's photo and was VERY taken by it! I proceeded to read his profile and really LIKED what I saw. 🙂
So…. I worked up some courage and checked the box saying interested! The next morning I received an email from Match.com saying Jeff had responded to my notice. We corresponded for a while then Jeff asked me out for our first date. Now, remember we live 100 miles apart. So we met in the middle at (don't laugh) a truck stop… yes! I said a truck stop! Ok you're allowed to laugh- we have, many times and our friends & family loves our story about it! It was the only place, as Illinois has a lot of fields between towns. Anyways, back to the story…. We met at the Petro truck stop, talked for a bit then off to dinner at an Italian restaurant, then to have drinks & watch a band play. We hit it off right away! From that moment on we have had the BEST time of our lives! We dated for almost 2 years & just knew we were a MATCH :). The "miles" seem like yards now; the distance wasn't an issue at all! I'm SO thankful he was willing to go the extra miles!! Some how the chain of events worked for us! Accident? I don't believe so… Luck? Maybe… But one thing I know for sure is if I didn't get on Match.com I wouldn't of met my Match -Jeff!!
Jeff asked me to marry him while we were on vacation in Mexico May 18th 2012!!! We were just married October 20,2012 and had our reception at THAT Italian restaurant. THANK YOU Match.com for bringing us together! Couldn't have done it with out you!

Don't look now, but the Saints are back in business.
Beset by endless controversy and drama since Bountygate erupted last spring and pretty much left for dead after a 0-4 start, New Orleans has quietly reeled off five wins in its past six games and can complete its improbable climb above .500 Sunday with a victory over the 49ers at the Superdome.
Make no mistake: The Saints still face a steep uphill climb in their bid to join the 1992 Chargers as the only teams in modern NFL history to make the playoffs after losing their first four games. New Orleans' next four opponents — San Francisco, followed by the Falcons, Giants and Buccaneers — all have winning records.
But it now appears this 5-1 stretch is a much better reflection of the Saints' talent level than the 0-4 start, mainly because their defense has finally found its footing under former Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and is no longer causing New Orleans to waste another terrific year by QB Drew Brees.
Brees is proving to be well worth the NFL's richest contract that owner Tom Benson gave him in July, shaking off a stream of injuries to his supporting cast and the season-long absence of suspended head coach Sean Payton to throw a league-high 28 touchdowns (against just nine interceptions) and rank second in the NFL with 3,066 passing yards.
"He's just a phenomenal football player," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said of Brees this week. "Let's just say that. And that encompasses just about everything. Great leader, great poise, great player, great accuracy, great talent. Everything is 'A-plus-plus' with Drew."
Brees has downplayed it this week, but rest assured the six-time Pro Bowl pick and former Super Bowl MVP will have payback in mind today, too. It was just 10 months ago in San Francisco that Harbaugh's team put a miserable capper on the Saints' 13-3 regular season with a 36-32 playoff win despite 462 passing yards and four TDs from Brees.
Though Brees has been his usual steady and sensational self, the Niners will bring a roiling quarterback controversy into today's game. Harbaugh reportedly is set to go with second-year pro Colin Kaepernick over concussed veteran Alex Smith after Kaepernick stunned everyone by riddling the Bears for 243 yards and two TD passes without an interception Monday night in a 32-7 win in his first career start.
That late-week development changed the outlook considerably for both teams. Brees, who is 5-0 in his career against San Francisco in the regular season, already has lost at home once this season to a first-year starter (Robert Griffin III) and won't let it happen again.
PICK: Saints, 24-13.
Falcons (9-1) at Buccaneers (6-4): The Saints aren't the only NFC South team orchestrating a quiet turnaround story. Tampa Bay has won four in a row after a 2-4 start under former Rutgers boss Greg Schiano, and the rebound is thanks largely to rejuvenated QB Josh Freeman and rookie rushing sensation Doug Martin. With Freeman sporting a 94.6 passer rating and Martin averaging 5.1 yards per carry, the Buccaneers have scored 205 points over the past six games — the NFL's highest total in that span. Atlanta has won six of the past seven meetings, but Tampa is at home and on a serious roll.
PICK: Buccaneers, 27-20.
Vikings (6-4) at Bears (7-3): Minnesota has stumbled after a 4-1 start but is coming off a division win over the Lions and a much-needed bye week break. Adrian Peterson against a suddenly reeling Chicago defense would give the edge to the Vikings, especially if the Bears are forced to go with Jason Campbell again at quarterback. But if Jay Cutler is back from his concussion, the Bears make it six in a row against their NFC North rivals.
PICK: Bears, 20-10.

Paladin, Paladin
Where do you roam?
Paladin, Paladin
Far, far from home.
Craggy-faced philosopher Paladin, the erudite gunfighter-for-hire played by articulate, hard-drinking Richard Boone, is back for Have Gun - Will Travel: The Final Season, Volume Two, featuring the final 16 half-hour shows from the 1962-63 season. The late 1950s and early '60s had produced an enormous glut of TV Westerns that dominated the prime time schedule. By 1964, most of them, including Have Gun - Will Travel, were off the air.
Today, most are forgotten. A few, like Rawhide and Wanted: Dead or Alive, are remembered mainly as stepping stones for their rising stars, Clint Eastwood and Steve McQueen in those cases. But the two best TV Westerns of that era, the ones that truly endure, undoubtedly were Gunsmoke, TV's first "adult Western" and that which, in its best years, was as good as any "straight" drama on television, and Have Gun - Will Travel, the intellectual, even existential Western. The iconography was much like any other weekly oater. There were bad guys and shoot-outs and Indians and cattle rustlers, but what made it stand out were its dream-like narratives and especially the character of Paladin himself, a Western hero like no other.
CBS-Paramount first began releasing the series to DVD as full season sets in May 2004, but these were notably unimpressive video transfers (and, by 2013 standards, quite mediocre). The label seemed to lose interest after their release of Season 3 in January 2006, but after a more than four-year delay the DVDs resumed as half-season sets with now significantly improved transfers, and the whole series is at last available. (But will CBS/Paramount remaster those earlier inferior releases? I sure hope so.)
For the uninitiated: Richard Boone stars as the gunfighter known only as Paladin, and like his namesake he is a paragon of chivalry.* Between jobs he resides at an exclusive San Francisco hotel, where his breeding and intelligence are visually at odds with the dressed-entirely-in-black gunman for hire and Boone's singularly ruddy features. Perusing the region's newspapers, he finds clients in need of his unique services and, in the show's famous trademark, offers up his business card: an image of a white knight chess figure with the words "Have Gun Will Travel. Wire Paladin. San Francisco." The card makes an appearance in almost, if not literally every episode.
Paladin was Have Gun - Will Travel's only major continuing character, though Hey Boy, played by Kam Tong, turns up in many shows often helping Paladin find new clients. The looseness of the show's premise allowed for a wide range of locations and situations, one of the program's strengths.
A big part of Have Gun - Will Travel's greatness is Richard Boone's introspective gentleman killer-for-hire. His intimidating features and ruthless demeanor contrasted his unexpectedly soft and sensitive if gravelly voice, very much at odds with his appearance, and which in turn made Boone difficult to cast. When he became a star Boone largely took charge of his own career path. And despite his tough exterior, Paladin in most episodes goes to great length to avoid bloodshed. He all but defines the term "world-weary" and, like James Arness's Matt Dillon, a big part of his appeal is watching him mostly silently sizing up conflicts and characters. Unlike Matt Dillon Paladin was less predictable, a gentle man one minute, who might lash out with physical violence the next.
Have Gun - Will Travel was a huge success its first four seasons on CBS, ranking fourth among prime-time network shows during 1957-58, upping to third place for its next three seasons. But during its fourth season Have Gun - Will Travel inexplicably plunged in the ratings to #29, though its 22.2 share would be considered huge today. During seasons one through four, the Saturday night completion was weak, plus Have Gun - Will Travel served as a lead-in for Gunsmoke, the Number One show. The following season's premiere of NBC Saturday Night at the Movies, which famously became the first program to air much newer, post-1953 movies for the first time on television, hurt, as did Have Gun's new lead-in, the critically acclaimed but lower-rated The Defenders. The sixth and final season was much the same, and by this point Boone was ready to try something new.
The result was The Richard Boone Show, an ambitious, unique half-hour anthology series but which utilized the same actors, more or less, in every show. (Besides Boone, Warren Stevens, Bethel Leslie, Harry Morgan, Guy Stockwell, Robert Blake, and others were featured.) It earned rave reviews but lasted only one season.
As for Have Gun - Will Travel's final season, episodes alternate between the weary, the pretentious, and the Who-gives-a-damn-let's-do-something-really experimental-and-interesting. In other words, despite a few turkeys, the program continues to fascinate here and there, and some shows are really outstanding and quite unlike anything on television.
A typical example is "Marshal of Sweetwater" (in Volume 1) written by a pre-Star Trek Gene Roddenberry. Paladin visits an old army buddy of his, now the marshal of a singularly peaceful, prosperous town. But it soon becomes apparent all this law and order comes at a stiff price: the marshal is a despot, a tyrant with his personal set of iron-clad laws intended to keep the peace (a three-drink limit at local saloons, which have limited operating hours, etc.). The arrival of a new, Miss Kitty-like saloon owner (Kathie Browne) also reveals the marshal's repressed sexual frustrations (and presumed accompanying dysfunction). That the marshal is played by a wildly cast-against-type David White (Darrin's boss on Bewitched) in a superb performance make this all the more captivating.
Undoubtedly the most talked-about sixth season episode is "Genesis" (Volume 1), written by co-creator (with Herb Meadow) Sam Rolfe, and directed by William Conrad. Conrad also co-stars as the land dealer who, in flashback, provides a young, irresponsible aristocrat (Boone, pre-Paladin) the opportunity to pay off a $15,000 gambling debt in exchange for killing a mysterious gunfighter named "Smoke," a chivalrous and enlightened sage dressed in the same black costume as the later Paladin. In other words, the episode explores how Paladin became Paladin, while still retaining much of the mystery of that character's origins. Boone, minus his usual mustache and wearing a blonde wig, also plays Smoke in this episode, but visually they look different enough that many in the audience were fooled, at least until the end credits revealed Boone played both parts.
Other good final season shows include "The Fifth Bullet" (Volume 1, written by Harry Julian Fink), about Paladin's efforts to return a man he captured and denied a fair trial, safe passage home after his sentence is served; "Memories of Monica" (Volume 1, written by Don Ingalls), a High Noon riff with Paladin standing tall when the sheriff turns yellow; and, my personal favorite, "Sweet Lady of the Moon" (Volume 2, written by Harry Julian Fink, directed by Boone).
In that episode, an apparently insane man, Soddenberg (Crahan Denton), convicted of murder, is released from prison and the Hannibal Lecter-like cage holding him, and into the custody of gentle rancher Murdock (Harry Carey, Jr.) Soddenberg himself wants to be kept chained-up, but both Murdock and Soddenberg's doctor (Richard Shannon) believe him cured and reformed. An intense, authentic and even clinical portrait of mental illness, this episode appears to have been shot at least a full season before it finally aired. No wonder.
Guest stars this season include (in Volume 1): James Mitchum, Shug Fisher, Ben Johnson, Hal Needham (frequently, and also stunts), Robert Blake, Paul Richards, Faith Domergue, John Hoyt, Judi Meredith, Richard Jaeckel, Edgar Buchanan (whose Petticoat Junction killed The Richard Boone Show the following season), Joanna Barnes, Roy Barcroft, Duane Eddy, Jeanne Cooper, Jim David, Lee Van Cleef, DeForest Kelley; (in Volume 2): Charles Bronson, Woodrow Parfrey, Wayne Rogers, Eleanor Audley, Gale Garnett, L.Q. Jones, Patricia Medina, Harry Morgan, Robert J. Wilke, Whit Bissell, Elinor Donohue, Paul Fix, Lon Chaney, Jr., Ford Rainey, Cliff Osmond, Jacqueline Wilson, Patric Knowles, Warren Stevens, Brett Somers, Chris Alcaide, George Kennedy, Bethel Leslie, William Schallert, Gail Kobe, and Hank Patterson.
Video & Audio
Unlike those earliest Have Gun - Will Travel season sets, The Final Season, both Volumes 1 & 2, in their original black & white, full frame format, look outstanding throughout. The 16 shows here are spread across just two dual-layered DVDs. Each show runs 25 1/2 minutes apiece (oddly, no time codes are available on Volume 1 but are on Volume 2) and all appear uncut and unaltered. The Dolby Digital mono is fine, and for a change English SDH subtitles are included - good for them. The discs are Region 1 encoded. There are no Extra Features
Parting Thoughts
One of the all-time great Western series, Have Gun - Will Travel: The Final Season is Highly Recommended.
For Further Reading
Andrew S. Fischer's Have Gun - Will Travel website was of considerable help to this neophyte viewer. Check it out here.
* Have Gun - Will Travel fan Sergei Hasenecz clarifies, "Not sure 'namesake' is the right term. We can assume his name is Paladin, even if the character only assumed it. But for the paladins of old, it is a description, not a name, as it well may be for Paladin. While 'paladin' and its variations have been used as a title for high-level officials in some European royal courts, the sense in which it is most commonly used, and which we are concerned with here, refers to a chivalrous and virtuous knight. King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table were paladins. However, the first to be called such were The Twelve Peers of Charlemagne. They were that worthy's foremost knights, their stories recounted in The Song of Roland (who was one of the Twelve), among others works. Of interest is the fact that Boone's Paladin, while living a very strict moral code on his various quests, is rather lax when at home. He gambles, drinks, and has quite the eye for the ladies. Ah, but his were different times from the Middle Ages. Not that I wouldn't want to live like Paladin."

More and more these days, it seems as if the most interesting TV projects are coming from new and different places. "House of Cards," which Netflix is making in Baltimore, leads the parade. But DirecTV is getting in the game, too, and this week debuts a six-part mini-series about a transgendered contract killer played by Chloe Sevigny ("Big Love," "Boys Don't Cry").
"Hit & Miss," which premieres at 10 p.m. Wednesday on DirecTV's Audience Channel is a British import created by Paul Abbott, who is usually praised for "Shameless"and "State of Play." I like them both, but I love "Cracker" his series about an angry, out of control forensic psychologist played by Robbie Coltrane. Love it for the wise ways in which it explored issue of social class, gender, education and anger.
Gender and anger are the orders of the day in "Hit & Miss" as well. And I think that's where the cultural mojo is in this production.
Folks who were outraged, angered or even sickened by the savage attack on a transgendered woman last year at a McDonald's in Baltimore will find a real satisfaction the first time Sevigny's character, Mia, takes down a bully. And without too much spoiling, let me just say that "take down" is a mild-mild term for what she does to the guy. If you can't handle TV violence, stay away from "Hit & Miss."
There is a debate here, of course, as there always is when TV breaks new ground this way or takes on complicated issues. While some viewers will find empowerment in Mia's acts of violence, others will say they define her as possibly a monster.
Don't ask me to sort it. You pays your money and you takes your choice. I am glad to see the range of characters on prime-time television expand with the addition of Sevigny's Mia. I really am, and I have to be honest, I did find pleasure in her taking down a very nasty guy.
If that's not politically correct, I am sorry. But part of my job is to direct folks to what's new and noteworthy on the tube -- and to try and honestly describe and explain the complicated relationship between TV and our lives. This one fits the bill.
As for "Hit & Miss" as entertainment and drama, that's a bit complicated, too. We first meet Mia in her role as the cold-blooded killer for hire.
She also gets naked quickly in a scene that explores, exploits and illuminates gender in ways I have not seen American TV do.
But then, her past life intrudes in the form of a letter from a former lover with whom she fathered a child before starting the journey to become Mia.
Long story short: via Mia, viewers quickly find themselves enmeshed in a family drama with Mia looking like she is going to be the adult guardian not just for her biological child but also three of his siblings.
Yikes. And the only way she can make enough money to keep the wolf from the door is to keep killing.
It's definitely complicated, and I am sure it is just not going to work for some viewers. But you have to love the dare of creating this kind of family drama for television. No same-old, same-old here, baby.

Must See Waterfalls[edit]
No matter where you're from waterfalls are the focal points that draw people to nature. Here in Western North Carolina many visitors hike well worn trails to Pearson Falls, Triple Falls, Hooker Falls and many other popular area waterfalls.
It's not hard to wonder what the attraction to these beautiful, mesmerizing waterfalls is. The fact that you can observe so much water closely and vividly. Perpetual motion fueled by nothing other than gravity and rain. It is also said that waterfalls make people feel good because they generate negative ions (negatively charged air molecules created by a number of natural and electronic processes). Another great attribute is the soothing "white noise," a sound that engineers try to imitate for electronic gadgets that are designed to help you relax, concentrate or sleep.

Car Review
2013 Chevrolet Spark: New Car Review
Pros: Distinctive styling in an inexpensive package; four doors squeezed into a compact size normally reserved for two; surprisingly spacious interior
Cons: The 2013 Chevrolet Spark has a starting price of $12,245, which is less than $2,000 away from the bigger and better equipped Chevrolet Sonic; 4-speed auto and 5-speed manual transmissions could each use another gear; feels underpowered when accelerating uphill
What's New: The 2013 Spark is all-new for the U.S. market, though it has previously existed in various forms internationally.
Are Americans finally ready for really small cars? Interesting options in the subcompact segment were once in short supply here, but recent years have seen increasingly competitive offerings with small footprints and efficient designs. Offering a counterintuitive take on the tiny domestic car, the Chevrolet Spark was actually designed and built overseas and exported around the world as a Chevy product, selling over 600,000 units in two years before it was finally made available stateside.
When it was adapted for sale in the U.S., the 2013 Chevrolet Spark was uprated with bigger 15-inch wheels, anti-lock brakes, more interior amenities, extra airbags and better insulation for a quieter ride. The South Korean-built subcompact will also be offered in an electric variant next fall.
Comfort & Utility
The base Spark comes equipped with air conditioning, OnStar and power windows; step up to the 1LT trim level ($13,745) and you'll get power locks and power mirrors, floor mats and mirror visors, cruise control and a 7-inch MyLink equipped touchcreen along with steering wheel controls. The $15,045 2LT model adds special alloy wheels, roof rails, heated leatherette seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Within those trim packages, the only additional ordering option is color and transmission.
While the Spark's mechanical hardware is relatively simple, a few interior amenities like standard OnStar service, an available 7-inch touchscreen MyLink system with smartphone integration and a BringGo navigation app bring a touch of modernity to the otherwise basic interior. Included on the 1LT trim level, the electronic interface offers access to the Pandora and Stitcher music apps, while also adding a USB port and XM radio.
Performance & Fuel Economy
Don't expect blistering performance from the Spark; it takes an estimated 12.5 seconds to fo from 0-60 mph, and we reckon there's not a whole lot of speed on tap beyond highway velocities. Don't laugh, but this humble package was actually tuned up from its international application: bigger 15-inch wheels were employed for the U.S. market, springs and dampers were tweaked, power mirrors were resculpted for better aerodynamics and the 1.2-liter engine was punched up to 1.25 liters, a 4 percent displacement bump.
The Spark is rated at 32 mpg city (which puts it between the Fiat 500 and Scion iQ CVT) and 38 mpg highway (tying with the Fiat 500 for segment best).
Though small in size, the Spark is big on safety features and boasts 60 percent high-tensile steel, which aids crash safety and torsional rigidity. The Spark packs 10 airbags into its compact body, and other standard safety items include ABS, traction and stability control, a tire pressure monitoring system and panic brake assist.
Driving Impressions
Visibility out of the Spark's cockpit is excellent, with tall seats offering a confidence-inspiring view of the road. There's copious use of plastic within the cabin, but at least it's colorful and modern looking, which distracts from the lack of soft touch materials.
While the Spark won't win any drag races, its 4-cylinder engine isn't severely taxed by its roughly 2,200-lb curb weight. The 4-speed automatic transmission doesn't always feel like it's making the most of the meager 1.25-liter powerplant, especially on hilly stretches and during aggressive passing maneuvers; opt for the 5-speed manual, and you'll appreciate having more control over power delivery, not to mention the fun of rowing your own gears.
Our road test took us through stretches of Los Angeles surface streets and interstates, and the Spark mostly held its own against faster moving traffic when pushed hard. However, we felt that extracting every last pony from this tiny engine might yield worse fuel economy than you might expect from such a small car.
Other Cars to Consider
Fiat 500 - This stylish Italian starts at $16,200 (just below the top-of-the-line Spark 2LT automatic) and offers a decidedly more European--if, a bit plasticky--take on the diminutive hatchback paradigm.
Scion iQ - Scion's iQ starts at $15,995, just in-between a Spark 2LT with a manual transmission and a 2LT model with an automatic. The Scion's interior feels more plush than the Spark's, and its CVT offers a more fun-to-drive alternative to the Spark's automatic transmission.
smart fortwo - The Spark undercuts the base fortwo Pure model by only $245, but the smart's jerky transmission makes it a less enticing offering compared to the bigger and more substantial feeling Spark.
AutoTrader Recommends
While the Spark lacks some of the polish and premium feel of some of its competitors, it does offer one feature the others can't touch: a 4-door configuration with surprisingly spacious rear legroom. Serious drivers might feel there's something lacking under the hood (after all, this 1.25-liter 4-cylinder only produces 85 horsepower and 82 lb-ft of torque), but if you're not taxing the powerplant too much, you should be able to get decent fuel economy in the 30 mpg range. We recommend the 1LT trim level, which offers nicer amenities than the base model at a still very affordable $13,745.
While the Spark is a novel and stylish stab at the subcompact hatchback market, budget-minded buyers should also walk across the Chevy showroom to check out the notably more substantial Sonic, which starts at just $14,200.

By Matthew Hurley: On June 9, 2012 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Timothy Bradley struck gold, or fool's gold, when he was awarded a dubious decision victory over WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. It was the kind of outcome that makes boxing fans roll their eyes in dismay. But there were some who felt the bout was a lot closer than the majority and that Bradley could provide a breath of fresh air in a boxing landscape dominated by endless accounts of why Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather still had not swapped punches yet.
In effect, Bradley beat the man, the most popular fighter in the sport and he expected all the accolades, endorsements and big money bouts that come with being the man. But just because you beat the man it doesn't make you the man, an unfair reality in such a brutal sport to be sure, and Bradley must have known his fate when Pacquiao simply shrugged his shoulders, waved off a rematch and decided to move in another direction.
"I chose to fight (Juan Manuel) Marquez again because we have exciting fights," he said after distancing himself from Bradley. "I have nothing to prove against Bradley. I proved it already. It was a one sided fight, and I won the fight."
Still, Pacquiao's decision to fight Marquez for the fourth time instead rankled a public appreciative of the rivalry but wary of another controversial outcome. Pacquiao, it seemed, could do nothing right. He wasn't fighting Mayweather or one of the young guns waiting to take him out when they noticed him slowing down . . . or that guy. What was his name? The one that beat him, but didn't really win.
Such was Bradley's reality.
It turns out, for Marquez and everyone who saw the fight at least, Pacquiao made the right decision. The end result shook things up, perhaps finally ridding us of anymore Pacquiao – Mayweather nonsense. Which means Pacquiao, who wants a fifth fight with Marquez but may not get it, will move on and Mayweather will probably fight Robert Guerrero, but who for the moment is up to his usual mind games and has several fighters on the fence all hoping they get their big money shot. Toss in exciting opponents like Brandon Rios, Danny Garcia, Lucas Matthysse and Saul Alvarez and you've got several very good potential match ups – as long as the warring Top Rank and Golden Boy promotional firms don't continue to piss all over the sport.
And then there's Timothy Bradley, who last we saw win a decision over Pacquiao on boxing's biggest stage, preparing for his ring return in California. It's a big step down from where he was, or where he thought he was after beating Pac-Man. But Bradley is a professional and despite the letdown don't look for Desert Storm to be in anything less than 100% condition and seeking a performance, against a pretty tough fighter, that will hopefully remind those who have forgotten about him just how good a fighter he remains.
But was too much time spent withering on the vine while trying to get someone who could make him some big money sign on the dotted line? Bradley has never been a hugely popular fighter and his style, which can lead to tedious contests, will never bring him the crowd support promoters desire. Even with a belt and impressive accomplishments worthy of bragging rights Bradley will probably always be the B-side to any big fight in his future – should he even get the big fights.
But Bradley, who looks like a miniature Marvelous Marvin Hagler with his shaved head and royal blue trunks, should embrace this role as Hagler did, albeit angrily, and carve a niche out for himself and simply force the big fights to come to him no matter how long it takes.
And it all starts with Ruslan Provodinkov, which Bradley acknowledged at a press conference last week.
"March 16 will be the first step in doing what I did as the light welterweight champion, cleaning house."

When Dee Dee sees the game, she provokes Dexter to challenge her at the game. Dexter loses and kicks Dee Dee out of his secret laboratory.

Price and Availability
The HTC EVO 4G was among the most popular Android devices of all time. During CTIA it was announced that Sprint would bring the next EVO flagship device of the year, the HTC EVO 3D. Not only was this stunning device going to come with outstanding specs, but it was also not coming alone. There was another addition to the EVO family, the HTC EVO View 4G (HTC Flyer with Sprint data connectivity), a tablet "like no other." It feels like a long time since CTIA (though it has only been a few months), and now we know that the wait is almost over. Sprint has officially announced the price and release date for the HTC EVO 3D and the HTC EVO View 4G!
These devices will be available on June 24th, but they can be pre-ordered with the purchase of a $50 Sprint gift card, which can be used towards your purchase on release date (or you can use to purchase something else if you so choose to). The EVO 3D will go for $199.99, and the EVO View 4G will cost $399.99 (both with a two-year contract), which is actually not too bad. Competing high-end devices are going for $250-300 nowadays, so the fact that Sprint is keeping its price at $199.99 will really make the choice easier for many.
Of course, owning an Android device (or any smartphone OS, for that matter) has its requirements when it comes to your monthly plan subscription. As many of you may already know, the EVO 3D will be required to have one of Sprint's Everything Data plans, along with a $10 Premium Data fee for smartphones. For the EVO View tablet, monthly data plans will start at $34.99 for 3GB of 3G data, but it also gives you unlimited 4G data (if you happen to be within coverage). Data plans for the EVO view also include unlimited text, picture, and video messaging. If that isn't good enough, the HTC Scribe stylus is included at no charge for a "limited time," for customers who put their signature on that contract (Otherwise sold separately for $80).
The announcement of the price and availability for two of the hottest devices this year is no small thing though, and everyone wants a piece of the cake. We have just found out that Sprint will not be the only one offering these devices. Target Mobile and Radio Shack are also announcing some nice offers along with the availability of the HTC EVO 3D for pre-order.
Pre-Orders and more
Radio Shack:
Radio Shack actually started EVO 3D pre-orders last month, but there was no official availability announcement yet, so Radio Shack had to keep thing low. This retailer could not advertise such pre-order, and the representatives were not allowed to offer it to you, one had to know about it, and/or ask fro it.
Now that The Shack can go all out without fear of legal problems, it is not a=only announcing the pre-order but bringing some good competition to Sprint. If you are an owner of the EVO 3D predecessor, you can trade in your HTC EVO 4G for a $100 credit for the purchase of the HTC EVO 3D. This offer is not only for EVO users though, as Radio Shack is also accepting other "eligible smartphones" for a $75 store credit.
Things are looking good for those that are not feeling too fancy this month though, or those who just happen to love physical keyboards. This retailer is also offering the HTC EVO Shift 4G for FREE with a two-year contract. Not bad, not bad at all.
Radio Shack also has a cool device simulator, just in case you want to play around and see how the EVO 3D will feel.
Target Mobile:
Target Mobile is also officially starting pre-orders for the EVO 3D today, as well as offering credit with an EVO 4G trade in. Target is taking things a little further, though, offering $150 of credit towards your EVO 3D purchase. This would mean that you would only end up paying $50 for the device (if purchased with a contract, at $199.99).
Also, just to make things a bit special for Target customers, if you purchase the device with a Target REDcard, a 5% discount will be applied.

...... Your right about your point but that's a good question I can't answer because...... even in
toaruverse the archangels power are based on the basic elements like wind,fire,water,earth and void or electricity.....
Better let someone answer it.
But from my personal answer. Maybe because Accel and Kakine can bend the laws of nature on their own will and as for misaka... well her electricity are production of her personal reality or her AIM. As for Kakine and Accel their powers can't really produce from nothing if you compare it on the other level 5 like mugino and mikoto. Those rank 1 and 2 powers allow them to take control of nature and everything around them and they didn't produce it. They either alter it's basic form to create a new (that's kakine) or control it by will (Accel).

Probably doesn't mean much, but I want to mention that Lightning has significance in various culture and their gods. The main one that comes to mind is of course, Zeus, but there also exists Thor, Perun, ect. I suppose the thing is that in ancient times, people could semi-control other elements like fire, water, earth, and wind (burn a few sticks and you make fire! dig a bit to divert the river for water! dig and make pottery from earth! use your fans to create wind! or something like that). However lightning to them was uncontrollable and unpredictable, akin to divine wrath. On top of that, it fell from the sky, which might make them believe it was the weapon of their particular sky god, which also happens to be the chief deity in many cultures.

Also, did she mention that plastic sticks too at the beginning there? That's just a load of bull right there, the only magnetic elements in real life are iron, cobalt and nickel (and according to Wikipedia, gadolinium also, but I've never learned that one in school).
Sorry if this crushes anyone's hopes or dreams, but electromagnetism just doesn't work that way.
