I may be the only person in Green River who voted for Ron Paul. He indeed was a bit on the squirrelly side, but I think he had the good of the whole nation at heart, regardless of what any rich campaign donor wanted him to do.
When Dr. Paul faded, I looked at the Newt. I liked his politics and his experience. I liked him being honest about immigration and his take on the economy. But, cheating on his cancer-ridden wife with his mistress of 7 years (now his current wife) left an awful taste in my mouth. A man who will cheat on his wife will also cheat at cards and just about anything else.
I looked at Santorum, and he smelled pretty fresh for a while, but as the debates dragged on I got the impression that he had a crib sheet tucked in his back pocket with the answers that the deep-pocket Republican donors wanted to hear.
That left Mitt. A rich kid grown up that really, I mean really, hasn't a clue what life is like for 47 percent of Americans who don't pay federal income tax. It seemed to me that being a successful businessman and a very good organizer would be better than a community activist and lawyer, which is what Mr. Obama is. So what if he plays golf, in spats, and his wife has a weekday Cadillac and another for the weekends? As long as he knows how to straighten out the train wreck of debt that the current crop has gotten us into, he could ride a polka-dotted unicycle and wear a pink tutu to work and I wouldn't say a thing. I've spent a lifetime solving problems that highly educated people couldn't handle. I understand that these folks often are ignorant of many things you and I take for granted. Take the following:
"There are 47 percent of people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. ... and the government should give it to them." So said Mitt, with a straight face, as he told a bunch of these same sort of very rich, very educated and very ignorant donors just exactly what they wanted to hear.
I think that Mitt was intentionally blowing smoke in their eyes. I think he knows that 47 percent includes a lot of retirees and a lot of disabled vets and a lot of working-class Republicans. I also think he knows that he won't be getting any million-dollar donations from any of them no matter what he says, since they ain't got it to give. It's political triage, a snake-oil sale writ large.
Because, if he really is such a twit as to believe what he said, then I doubt he'd make a good president. But if Mitt isn't elected, that means Mr. Obama shoving us toward a European-style socialist government with the gas pedal flat on the floor board.
May God have mercy on us all.

Difference between revisions of "Whitewater sports"
Revision as of 06:25, 6 May 2009
This article is a travel topic
Whitewater sports are the art of bobbing about in a boat, large or small, in moving water. While whitewater kayaking or whitewater canoeing is a solo or duo sport, their close cousin whitewater rafting uses rafts that seat more people. Rafting is more accessible for the casual traveler, as navigation is handled by a professional and even beginners can come along for a white-knuckled ride.
Rapids are graded by class to indicate their rough difficulty level. The practical scale ranges from class I (no skill needed) to class V (experts only), with class VI rapids considered hazardous even to pros. Don't place too much faith on the letter though: difficulty can vary considerably based on the season and the water level, and rivers of one grade may have harder individual rapids that need to be portaged (boat carried) past.
South Africa
The African Paddling Association is a voluntary group that focuses on developing paddling sports of all kinds in South Africa.
Many operators offer training courses, guided expeditions and short outings. Clubs will also be able to guide you to the best water around.

G6912, Reviewed August 2002
Editor's note
Since this guide was printed and last reviewed, a note alerting readers to the invasive nature of amur honeysuckle has been added to this page.
It has been estimated that many gardeners use about twice as much water in their landscapes as is needed. In most gardens, the amount of water used can be reduced without creating serious plant problems. In Missouri's climate, water-efficient gardening is an important approach to wise water use.
Water-efficient landscaping does not mean using only desert plants. In Missouri it means making an existing landscape or garden more water efficient or developing a new site with low water needs.
Gather ideas for plants to use in low water use zones by observing native plants along roadsides or other undisturbed areas.
Another native perennial flower that will prosper in low water use zones is purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea).
Homeowners have two options in developing a water-efficient garden and landscape:
On large sites, both approaches may be possible as new sections are developed while older areas are remodeled.
Water-efficient sites are organized around three major water-use areas. While three zones fit most situations, in some landscapes only one or two might be needed. The three zones are based on water needs throughout the year.
Many ornamental grasses make excellent choices as plants that will prosper in low water use zones.
Complex landscapes with unusual plants often require larger areas to be designated as high water use zones.
Creating water use zones may be more difficult in existing landscapes where many different plants are already established. However, it may be possible to create a low water use zone in an existing landscape. As water availability is reduced, some plants may not survive and will need to be replaced by more durable types. In certain situations, a few especially valuable plants may be watered individually during stress periods while the rest of the area is not given any extra irrigation at any time.
Various means such as mulching, shade, efficient irrigation methods and hardscape surfaces can be used to make the established landscape, as well as a new landscape, more water efficient.
Oak trees are one of the best sources of shade whether for low, medium or high water use zones.
In planning new sites or adding new plants to existing sites, whenever possible you should choose plants for most of your landscape that can survive short periods of heat and drought.
Selecting plants for the high and medium water use zones is easy. Practically any plant that will survive Missouri's climate can be used in the high-use zone. In the medium-use area, most plants that form large, deep root systems can survive with watering only during stress periods.
Plants for the low water use area need more careful consideration. A good way to determine which plants can endure in the garden or landscape without extra water is to observe native plants. While we should not dig plants indiscriminately from native areas, the types of plants in these areas may well be the best indicators of what to use in a low maintenance landscape. Here are a few suggestions:
Not all shrubby plants suitable for the low water use area need to be natives. Among plants to consider are
Butterfly weed (Asciepias tuberosa) is a native perennial flower that is excellent for low water use zones.
Some native flowers make an interesting addition to the low water use perennial flower border.
Do not consider these plants as the only ones that are suitable. You are sure to find others, both native and introduced, that have excellent low-maintenance potential. The plants listed are suggested only as a beginning in the selection process.
The better and deeper the soil preparation and improvement, the greater will be the plant's ability to survive. Plants in soils that are shallow or rocky or have a hardpan where roots cannot penetrate will have poorer low-moisture endurance than those in deep, loose soils where roots can penetrate deeply and easily.
Since many landscapes have poor and shallow soils, soil improvement becomes important when establishing a low water requirement area. Dig or till the soil as deeply as possible before planting. If a hardpan exists that can be broken up, break it up. If you are planting trees, dig holes as wide as possible but no deeper than the tree's root ball. In clay soils, do not dig holes with smooth sides, since roots will circle the hole and fail to spread fully into the surrounding soil. Potted or balled trees or shrubs produced in very light or organic soils should have a transitional soil zone placed around them to aid establishment and stimulate thorough root expansion.
During the soil improvement process, have a soil test run to establish existing acidity or alkalinity as well as fertility levels. The soils should then be adjusted to be most suitable for the plants being added to the landscape. Adjusting pH, as well as improving fertility, may be necessary for establishing plants to ensure that they will survive under moisture stress.
Thorough soil preparation and planting are essential to good plant establishment. However, once the plant is in place, several cultural conditions must be met before the plant will become well established. Most critical is watering during drought periods.
While the goal is to reach a point where no extra watering is needed, new plants with limited root systems need enough water to get established. This is most important in the first season after planting but can remain critical into the second and sometimes even the third year if weather conditions have been poor and root expansion is slow. Most of the frequent watering usually is needed the first season. During very dry, hot weather, one watering each week should be enough to prevent severe damage. Slow, thorough soaking of individual plants or plant beds is preferable to infrequent heavy watering or frequent light watering.
In situations with little water and high temperatures, one of the plant's first responses is for leaves to turn yellow and drop off. This may not happen with all plants, but as conditions become more severe, certain plants may develop leaf scorch. Scorch begins as yellowing and browning along the margins of leaves and may extend inward between the veins. Under severe conditions, some leaves may turn totally brown. If no watering has been done up to the time these symptoms develop, prompt action should be taken unless rains begin. If all leaves on a tree or shrub turn brown, there is little chance for survival.
To determine how well a tree or shrub has become established, closely examine a few new shoots that develop during the first flush of growth in the spring. The growth developed the year after a plant has been transplanted generally will be shorter than the growth of the previous year. As the plant becomes better established, the flush of new growth the next spring should increase in length. As the shoot length becomes more normal, it indicates that the plant has become established and additional watering can be discontinued.
Mulching is very beneficial in all water-efficient landscape zones. It is essential where no additional watering is planned. Mulches conserve soil moisture by blocking evaporation. They also keep the soil cooler. Mulches have the added benefit of reducing weeds that will compete for moisture in the soil.
Many materials can be used for mulch. Organic materials generally are considered the best. They should be fairly fine textured and nonmatting. Straw, pine needles, bark nuggets, wood chips and other wood products are excellent materials for various effects in the landscape. Landscape fabrics or black plastic landscape mulch can be used beneath organic mulching materials to provide better weed control and to increase the mulch's ability to reduce water loss.
Rock mulches will control weeds and hold moisture when used in shady areas. In sunny spots, rocks tend to absorb and release heat over a longer period of time, which can increase water loss from nearby plant leaves.
Where irrigation is required, efficient water use is still extremely important. Efficient irrigation systems can save a lot of water. Soaker hoses or trickle or drip irrigation are the most water-efficient systems. Overhead sprinkling generally is less efficient than watering at the soil surface or within the soil. During hot weather, considerable water is lost to evaporation when overhead sprinkling is used.
It is relatively easy to determine how much water has been applied if you are using overhead sprinklers. Wide-mouthed cans or jars can be placed within the sprinkler area. The water collected in them can be measured to keep track of how much has been applied. During dry weather, usually about an inch of rainfall or irrigation water should be applied weekly. During very hot weather, watering may be increased to as much as 2 inches per week.
It is not as easy to determine how much water is being applied when soaker hoses or drip irrigation are used. There always will be more water in the soil closer to the hose or to each emitter than at distances farther away. Check a few spots in the irrigated area by carefully digging out soil with a trowel or spade. Ideally, you want to apply enough water to have the top 6 inches moist but not soggy wet a few hours after the irrigation system has been turned off. If water starts to run off before areas are thoroughly soaked, stop the sprinklers or hoses and do not start water again until the water has penetrated so the soil becomes more absorbent. Efficiency is lost rapidly when water runs off the surface.
Water will be absorbed with less evaporation if you irrigate during the cooler parts of the day. Early morning from 6 to 8 a.m. is ideal because leaves will dry quickly. Evening watering also is fairly efficient, but plants that are susceptible to leaf disease are more likely to be infected if leaves stay wet for too long. The least efficient watering time is during the heat of the day when evaporation is rapid.
Shade is another element that can be used to save water in the landscape. Where it can be used, shade reduces moisture loss by keeping surfaces cooler. Trees, shrubs and vines can all provide some benefit. Structures such as trellises and arbors also provide beneficial shade, although they do not produce as much cooling as shady plants.
Although trees and other plants lose moisture as they transpire, water released during transpiration cools the atmosphere and the soil. This reduces evaporation from other areas or from plants in their shade.
Some trees are more water efficient in sunny locations than others. A few of the most efficient types in sunny locations are ash, oak, hickory, red maple, sweetgum, pine and walnut. The less efficient trees are classified as understory trees. Understory trees need sun protection from other trees or structures. Trees that are not so efficient and are best as understory trees include beech, dogwood, hemlock, magnolia and redbud.
Shade is particularly useful in places where it keeps heat from building up near hard surfaces that not only become uncomfortably hot, but increase water loss from nearby plants and soil.
While shade is very useful for conserving moisture, not all plants can tolerate shade. Even beneath structures, water management is improved if mulch is used where dense shade might be too heavy for plant growth. Where adequate light exists in the landscape, shade-tolerant groundcovers or other plant materials can provide a similar but more attractive benefit.
Healthy plants are more drought tolerant than weak or damaged plants. In maintaining plants in water-efficient gardens and landscapes, watch out for disease or insect problems that may develop. Be careful to avoid mechanical damage such as bumping tree trunks with lawn mowers or damaging the bark with string trimmers.
Pruning plants can help by reducing the amount of foliage that is losing water. However, trimming should be done carefully. Severe pruning opens up the plant to more sunlight and, consequently, more water loss during midsummer.
Fertilization can be harmful during drought periods when watering cannot be done. If plants need nutrients, delay fertilization until fall or spring when weather conditions are more ideal and there is enough moisture in the soil for plants to easily absorb the nutrients.
In lawns, allow grass to get taller in nonirrigated areas during drought periods. Some grasses will go dormant, but others will benefit from the extra shade and extra photosynthesizing leaf area resulting from longer blades. During drought periods, raise the normal mowing height 25 to 50 percent.
There are many areas where hard surfacing cannot be avoided, such as a driveway, walk or patio. Shade is one of the ways to reduce heat buildup in these areas and, consequently, water loss around them. However, in some cases other options are available that have less tendency to build up heat and may also conserve moisture. Light-colored surfaces trap less heat than dark surfaces. Walks built with bark mulch or other organic materials, if practical, will be cooler than concrete or gravel.
Where hard surfaces must be used, a barrier of plants between them and the other surfaces can break the heat flow from one area to another. This may ease the stress on some plants, therefore reducing their water needs. Low fences with durable vines on them may provide such a barrier. Some heat-durable plants, such as junipers, can provide a heat barrier if used as a hedge. Around parking areas, taller plants or fences might be used. Durable vines on the fences along with heat-tolerant shrubs for dense hedges can all be beneficial for saving water and improving the survival of nearby plants.
Heat barriers also can be developed in other ways, depending on the home and the individual landscape. These barriers basically are means for controlling air movement in the landscape. Heat rising from hard-surfaced areas is directed away from plants that are not as heat tolerant as others might be. In addition to keeping hot air away from certain areas of the landscape, the same technique can help direct cool air beneath large trees or near patio areas to make them more comfortable as well as water efficient.

Filner's resignation will take effect Friday, Aug. 30.
A total of 18 women have come forward in the past six weeks accusing Filner of making inappropriate and unwanted sexual advances toward them.
Following three days of brokered negotiations between parties involved, which included City Council President Todd Gloria and District 2 Councilman Kevin Faulconer, the City Council met Friday afternoon in closed session voting 7-0, with councilmembers Scott Sherman and Myrtle Cole absent, to accept Filner's resignation and the settlement agreement's terms.
Filner apologized profusely to the women he offended, the city and his former fiancée, Bronwyn Ingram. He admitted to being solely responsible for his actions.
"I will try to make amends for the part I have played in putting this city through a very bad time," he said.
Then Filner reversed field, cautioning the council and the city, saying they were facing a "lynch mob mentality."
"In a lynch mob, rumors become allegations, allegations become facts and facts become evidence of sexual harassment, which have led to many calling for my resignation and recall," Filner said. "I have never sexually harassed anyone. Unfortunately, I can't afford to continue this (legal) battle. I know, if given due process, I would be vindicated."
Filner admitted, however, to providing the "ammunition," through his poor conduct around women, which led to his downfall. But he blamed others for being the instrument of his demise.
"The well-organized special interests that have run this city for 50 years pointed the gun, and the media and their political agents pulled the trigger," Filner said.
The soon-to-be ex-mayor concluded by saying he hoped his successor would continue to promote diversity, giving all San Diegans "a seat at the table."
"Stability is the mayor resigning and a special election to replace him, and that's doable," said City Attorney Jan Goldsmith following Filner's remarks.
Responding to Filner's resignation, Council President Pro Tem Sherri Lightner, who will take over as president of the council, issued a statement.
"I'd like to thank Council President Gloria and all my council colleagues for placing their trust in me to lead the council in the coming months. I'm looking forward to continuing to work cooperatively and productively with each of my colleagues."
Lightner said her focus will be on "delivering the services our residents and businesses want and need in order to keep our great city moving forward while promoting a culture of stability, reliability and transparency at City Hall."
Lightner urged "everyone who loves San Diego to join together to create a bright new chapter in our city's future, and I know we can count on Council President Todd Gloria, the City Council, our city staff and our citizens to do just that."
The conversation now quickly turns to what is to come next in the process.
Council president Gloria will become interim mayor, while retaining his rights and responsibilities as a member of the council. His duties as interim mayor will be limited. He will not, for example, be authorized to veto council actions.
A special election to elect the next mayor will be held within 90 days. If no single candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, a runoff will be held between the top two vote-getters within 49 days of that election.
With Filner on his way out, challengers for his seat were already on their way in.
Two candidates, former Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher and Tobiah Pettus, had already filed their intentions to run for mayor as of Aug. 23, according to the City Clerk's Office.
"The first vultures are alighting on the corpse," quipped LaDona Harvey, KOGO radio morning co-host on Aug. 23.
Ex-Councilman Carl DeMaio, who lost to Filner in a closely contested mayoral election last November, is expected to announce next week whether he will enter the race. He had been preparing for a congressional run against Rep. Scott Peters, D-San Diego, next year.
San Diego's new mayor — for now
A brief look at interim mayor Todd Gloria
District 3 City Councilman Todd Gloria is a third-generation San Diegan from a family with a military background. He graduated from University of San Diego with majors in history and political science.
U.S. Congresswoman Susan Davis had been Gloria's political mentor ever since they first met in 1993. In 2002, Gloria became Davis' district director, a position he held until being elected to the city council in 2008.
While working for Davis, Gloria also served as a San Diego Housing Commissioner from 2005 until 2008. He is also a former chairman of the San Diego LGBT Community Center and was a resident panelist on San Diego's Prostitution Impact Panel.
Gloria ran for the District 3 seat vacated by the termed-out Toni Atkins in the 2008 election. In the 2012 election, he ran for re-election unopposed and was re-elected in the June primary. In December 2012, at its first meeting after new members took office, Gloria was unanimously elected to serve as council president, replacing retiring President Tony Young.
Gloria has been chair of the city's Budget and Finance Committee since 2011. He represents San Diego on the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System Board and SANDAG, where he chairs the transportation committee.

On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, insurgents against the government in power there killed at least 65 people, and wounded more than 240, in the deadliest day in that strife-torn country this year. The attacks that killed the people were thought to have been led by al-Qaida's Iraq arm.
As Gov. Peter Shumlin launched his campaign last week for a second term, he focused on two themes: the state's relative economic prosperity and that he is a governor who gets "the tough things done."
Those 'tough things' have boiled down to balancing the state's budget without raising broad-based taxes, even while coping with four major storms in 2011, and initiating health care reform by passing the nation's first universal access health care system based on a single-payer model.

Park's Valve Core Tool is great for tightening, removing and installing Schrader and Presta valve cores (the cores are inside the valve), and also Presta valve extenders that have 5mm wrench flats. It's a handy tool to save a tube when all that's wrong is a broken valve, and it also lets you remove valves to easily insert sealant.
Displaying reviews 1-2
Best Uses
A right tool is needed for a hassle-free work. This is the tool for a valve removal. Contrary to what mentioned in another review, it can do the job between spokes. There is a socket at the end that accepts the top of the valve. And you use the tool like you do a screwdriver instead of a wrench.
Best Uses
Got it primarily to remove cores from tubeless tire valves. Problem is that it is too long and hits the spokes because it was designed for working with tubes that were off the wheel. Looks nice otherwise.

Here is a short story that I've been writing. I share it with you here, because it draws a good deal of inspiration from the Urban Rival's website. Or more, specifically, the Freak's clan. It is NOT a direct fan-fiction, though I'm sure you will spot some of the characters while reading it.
The work below is part of a greater work of short stories, that I've been writing in my limited spare time. The collection is entitled 'From A Bird's Eye View'. All of the stories within the collection focus around a very unusual perspective.
The story below is one of the stories within the collection. It is called 'Hear The Crowd Roar' and is one of those stories you'll need to read multiple times in order to discover all the hidden meanings and allusions.
I'm NOT a professional writer by trade and this is only the first draft, a good deal of editing is still required on this particular work. However, I hope you will enjoy it all the same.
Please Enjoy!

I wait my turn.
I know that it will come and so I wait it patiently. My face betrays not a hint of anticipation and yet, I'm ravenous for its birth. Hungry for my absolution.
Though this is not my first dance of shame, tonight, will not be the same. I'm changed, but it'll be too late before they can know it.
I wait my turn. And so too, do they wait. Their breath, bated with buttered popcorn, teeth, stained with soda, tongues, lapping at the gloomy air in the massive mildewy tent that has all but outlived its purpose.
They wait, like they have waited their whole lives for this one, desperate rush of excitement, something to stray their minds from the desks they seem to sit at for most of their waking hours. From the child, pondering some quadratic equation, to the man, calculating his company's expenditure. From the babe at the breast, that
robotically sucks, hibernates and shuts down. To the aged crone sat alone at home, finishing her meager mémoires to the few loved ones that survive her.
They do not know, they all wait for death, and death, is always on time.
But tonight, they burn the desks of their minds and though death never dances here, death is coming all the same. But not for them, not tonight. He has but only one in mind and I can see her, see her fine...

I wait my turn. We wait for it to start.
All eyes are center stage, though some may spot the podgy man beginning his descent. Ringleader of the animals that took away my pride. Mister Boris, fat and penguin like, harbouring the black egg of greed. Its yoke drips money that splatters on his fine violent green suit, as he walks to the best seat in the house. Not that he'll justify using it, for he will see nothing, his magnificent beak is his act and that is all that he will use until the
curtain closes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Freaks in mind and body... Welcome!"
"Welcome to the greatest show since... Christ darn it... I dunno!"
"Boy, have we got something special for you good people tonight! This ain't gonna be anything you ever gonna forget, or your money back!"
"I guarantee you ain't never seen anything like this. We got's here a guy, that's gonna eat an entire Chevy 1956 convertible... right in front of your very peepers!"
"That's right kiddies, he takes the biggest dump you ever saw!"
"And if you ain't got the stomach for that... have you ever heard a wittle bunny rabbit sing?"
"That's right folks, we's gots a genuine singing babbit... and yes, he does take requests."
"Of course, we's gots all your favourites too, from fire-eating to knife throwing, clowns to contortionists to..."

I wait my turn. He'll end this semi-oratorical white lie with 'This will be a night to remember!' And this time, he'll tell it true.
I've heard his little speech a thousand times before, and it rarely deviates from the original copy he once wrote, on the inside of an empty cigarette packet. This will be the last speech he makes, however. He'll probably go back to selling second-hand cars in the cesspit he once called home. A pity I won't be around to see it.
I wait my turn. His oh so honeyed words, invite his pets to join him. One by one, they slither to him willingly, obediently performing the twisted task he 'honoured' them with. Mocking them at every turn and praising their repulsiveness. Continuing in this way, till all manner of Freaks and Circus Performers have filtered into a bottle of their own perfections and imperfections. A greyish mess. Poison. The crowd slurp it greedily, clapping and guffawing like mongoloid seals begging for rotten fish.
Hear the crowd roar!
And after Mister Boris is done, said farewell and checked the purse, he'll finally shut his greasy beak. Mayhaps first coerce some poor soul to follow him back to his trailer for a nibble or a bite... Often, I have caught the scent of nervous sweat, mingled with stale tobacco, rising from his den. But there will be no such prize tonight. There may still be an aroma of sweat, leaking from Mister Boris's trailer, as he lies awake, but it'll be perfumed in the stench of blood.

I wait my turn. I wait for my release.
My prison lays me still, but I can see the light between the bars. I can see the faces behind this masquerade. Familiar faces, that only ever acknowledged me in fear, apprehension and loathing. Only she, she, ever loved me. We even lay together once, not as lovers, but as kin. And I accepted her warmth in this cold unusual place. But I'm but her slave and every day she chastises me. Curses me when I fall foul and beats me for my
anger, my very natural anger... broken.
But no... it still lurks in its dreadful deformed form, deep beneath the surface, like a venomous worm... waiting.
I wait my turn. I wait for my redemption.
So let them come. Let the fat man call them by false names and let them dance their dance of shame. The dance of the dancing bear. Chewed and moth eaten, stitched with sadness, like teddies that children leave in dusty corners which only spiders share. I'll watch them from my prison and pray for foulness in the air.
Our Father who art in Heaven, give us this day our daily meat? Perhaps something to splatter, something to burn, something to bleed?
Anything for a little taste of vengeance. Une Entrée avant main course? Something to whet the appetite? Something to still my beating heart before it bursts and everything is spoiled? Oh God, Almighty, please?!
Leave me an inch, one simple inch... Is that too much to ask for?

Let the knife thrower's perfectly weighted blade with the ivory grip, miss it's goal. Let it, instead, fly an inch to the left and puncture the right eye of his beloved, like a tiny water balloon. Pop. Splatter. Ooze. Beautiful.
Let the acrobat mistime her jump. Let her reach out for the rope and lose it by an inch. Falling at first like a rose petal in the wind, then becoming as heavy as a severed head thrown from an Aztec temple. Crunch, Snap, Scream. Wonderful.
Let the snake awake and ensnare its charmer, its fangs an inch apart.
Let the fire-eater's lung thicken with that last inch of tar, the inch that gets him.
Let the clown weep bloody tears, an inch before insanity.
Leave me an inch, one simple inch... Is that too much to ask for?
An inch is all it takes. One inch. So small and insignificant and yet it tethers universes. Sun and moon, light and dark, love and hate, all separated by a single inch.
How long until my turn I could ask but... how long is a piece of string?
An inch, it whispers. An inch. Life and death at either end. An inch.
Leave me an inch, one simple inch... Is that too much to ask for?
I wait my turn. I wait... for my inch.

She wishes she was as I was once. Her very soul shakes in the need of it. How she needs it, craves it, longs for it. She smells of green and brown and red and moves as stealthy as a lover. She perfects my mannerisms, mimics me, mirrors me. At first I believed she mocked me, but no, adoration, flattery.
So similar to the ones I once ran with, back in the good old days. I would have chased the stars for her, fought the sun for her, perhaps, even in spite of her deformities...
Aye, I could love her. I could love her.
But tis' not her body that disgusts me... but her mind.
Nay lady.
Tis' not thine hands of yellowish pale flesh, cursed to seem like boneless chicken breast, but the whip they hold and beat me with.
Tis' not thy breath which pukes out unknown scents, but the words that fall from under it.
Tis' not thine face, more ugly than sin, with bloody lumps and broken skin, but the lying eyes, that doth lie, within.
Aye, I wait my turn, my decision made.

Never stood a chance.
"And ever so slightly... Psychopathic..."

Here, I'll prove it. Oren... sit... Oren... sit... Good boy!"
"Thank you! Thank you! You're far too kind!"
"Now, see the great battle sword he swings, the magnificent Nero, huh huh huk... Nero he calls it. Originality isn't Oren's strong point ya see, he's only spelled his own name backwards!"
"How many braincells have you Oren? Five? Can you count five? Count five Oren, go on...
"Nope, that's four, Oren, one, two three, four! Imbecile! Can you say imbecile Oren?"
"You're an imbecile aren't you Oren? Nod your head Oren. Oren nod.... Oren nod... Good boy!"
"Thank you! Thank you! You're far too kind!"
"During the cold war, Oren used this magnificent sword to butcher a thousand Commies. He drenched the sword in lighter fluid, so it burned with a flame as hot as the Earth's core. I spect', he just wanted to warm them up, huh huh huk. Can you say marshmallows over a camp fire?"
"Now, watch Oren perform this sacred act once more. Let him fire up this ancient blade and engulf the flames through his humongous gullet!"
"Never fear my good people, never fear... Oren's insides are stronger than steel... he'd eat the sun and ask what was for dessert..."

Mister Boris will start singing, as Oren swallows the sword that killed my kin. Singing in that blunted, stumpy voice of his, so devoid of life. I've heard the song a thousand times before, tis' a song of misery and sadness.
"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos."
He always replaces 'folks' with 'freaks', perhaps unintentionally, who can say for certain? And all throughout, the Grotesque thrusts the flaming weapon into his gaping maw and pulls it back out, for all see, as happy as a child that just learned to piss in one direction. Repeating this process all the time in cursed repetition. In, out, in, out, in, out, perversely sexual.

Astros shut out AL-worst Angels
Anaheim, CA – Bud Norris struck out five over seven stellar innings of three-hit ball, as the Houston Astros blanked the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 5-0, on Friday in the opener of a three-game series at Angel Stadium.
Norris (2-1) walked just two and held the Angels without an extra-base hit in the contest. Hector Ambriz, Wesley Wright and Rhiner Cruz combined to keep the Halos off the board over the final two frames to complete the shutout.
Rick Ankiel collected two hits and three RBI, while Justin Maxwell smacked a solo shot and knocked in two overall for the Astros, who have won three straight.
Tommy Hanson (1-1) was tagged for five runs on eight hits and two walks over five frames to absorb the loss for the Angels, who have lost five straight to fall to an AL-worst 2-8 on the season.
"I felt great in the bullpen," Hanson remarked. "I pitched good later, but early was no good. Putting your team in a five-run deficit after three innings is not going to get it done."
Houston jumped on Hanson early, as Jose Altuve led off the game with a single and quickly scored on Maxwell's double to center.
Maxwell was thrown out trying to stretch it to a triple, but Jason Castro and Chris Carter followed with consecutive singles before a Carlos Pena walk loaded the bases.
After J.D. Martinez fanned, Ankiel ripped a single to left to plate Castro and Carter for a 3-0 lead.
Maxwell smacked a two-out solo shot in the second to push the margin to 4-0 before Ankiel added a run-scoring double in the third to give the Astros a five-run advantage.
The run support was more than enough for Norris and the Astros, who kept the Angels from putting a runner in scoring position throughout the contest.
"Bud's slider was working," Houston manager Bo Porter said of his starter. "He was absolutely fantastic and the defense played well behind him."
Game Notes
Houston went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base ... The Angels left five runners on base ... Norris' start was the 100th of his career.

The Canucks need cap space. David Booth has been underwhelming in his time in Vancouver. He's got 2 more seasons at $4.25m. We could send them Glass + a pick. We don't need him to put up big numbers, but I've always loved his game; he plays the way we need a complementary forward to play...even though he's not been quite the same since his concussion.
If you want Kunitz v2.0 go after Nick Foligno or Curtis Glencross.

The Dolphins this evening have suspended guard Richie Incognito, citing conduct detrimental to the team, in connection to allegations of harassment and bullying teammate Jonathan Martin.
"The Miami Dolphins have suspended Richie Incognito for conduct detrimental to the team. We believe in maintaining a culture of respect for one another and as a result we believe this decision is in the best interest of the organization at this time," the team said in a statement. "As we noted earlier, we reached out to the NFL to conduct an objective and thorough review. We will continue to work with the league on this matter."
Incognito allegedly was involved in behavior that made Martin feel he was in a difficult work place environment. That behavior including verbal abuse, and implied pressure over Martin to bend to Incognito's will, a source close to Martin alleges. The source also said Martin felt threatened by Incognito and said there is evidence of that threat in the form of text messages and voice mails.
The source said that evidence has been turned over to the Dolphins.
A Dolphins source said Sunday night whatever evidence is turned over to them will in turn be turned over to the NFL which is investigating the matter.
However, the fact the team has taken the significant step to suspend Incognito even as the investigation is in its infancy is a sign the team believes Martin and the evidence he's presented to a high degree.
The NFL was made aware of the team's intent to suspend Incognito before the decision was finalized. The suspension is indefinite.
And as Martin has no current plans to return to the team in the near future, according to a source, it means the Dolphins will be without their starting left guard and starting right tackle when they resume practice at 2:45 Monday afternoon.
The Dolphins are expected to work with Nate Garner at left guard and Tyson Clabo at right tackle. Both players manned those positions against the Cincinnati Bengals after Martin went AWOL from the team prior to the game and Incognito suffered a stinger in his neck in the first half and was unable to return to the game.
Incognito has not been available for comment. He is expected to seek representation to fight the allegations.
Sunday was a very active day for the Dolphins as they've been working this issue. Early in the day they released a statement saying, in part, "the notion of bullying is based on speculation and has not been presented to us as a concern from Jonathan or anyone else internally."
Following the release of that statement, Incognito went on twitter to suggest media accounts of his involvement were wrong and that he wanted his name "cleared."
Approximately five hours later, after the Martin camp presented a formal complaint of "hateful" behavior, a source said, the club released a statement saying it had allegations of player misconduct. And within seven hours of that, the club had made and communicated to Incognito the decision to suspend him.
The news of the suspension was delivered to Incognito by coach Joe Philbin.
This episode closed quite a week for the Dolphins offensive line. Center Mike Pouncey was served a subpoena in connection to the Aaron Hernandez murder case on Sunday. Martin went AWOL from the team on Monday. And then the Incognito suspension.
And here we thought the biggest problem with the Miami offensive line was sacks.

Greenville (US): South Carolina authorities say a gunman killed two security guards and his stepfather and wounded a police officer before fatally shooting himself in the head.
Greenville County Sheriff Steve Loftis says 23-year-old Evan Casey Bennett shot the security guards last Thursday night, but wasn't immediately identified and captured.
Interim Greenville Police Chief Mike Gambrell says Bennett killed his stepfather on Monday before heading over to the Greenville County Law Enforcement Centre, where he shot out windows and fired on the officer before turning the gun on himself.
The police chief said Bennett was wearing a tactical vest and camouflage pants and carrying a knife when he arrived at the centre, which houses the Greenville Police Department and the local sheriff's office.
Gambrell said Bennett killed his stepfather following an argument. Loftis described the other shootings as a "senseless thrill killing."

New Purina Commercial Uses High Frequency Sounds To Attract Dogs [VIDEO]
Advertising is going to the dogs.
A new ad for Purina's Beneful Dog Food airing on Austrian TV is using a soundtrack that emits special high-pitch frequencies that can only be heard by man's best friend.
Purina hopes the sounds will get dogs to come running towards the screen whenever the ad airs. What about adding in a cat or a squirrel? Basically anything small that moves quickly. That usually does the trick.
Check out the spot below. If you notice a high-pitched sound, you might want to get checked for rabies.

Confused Indian Anti-Piracy Group Asks Us To Remove Article It Doesn't Like From Some Other Blog
from the try-again-guys dept
Anyway, I'd nearly forgotten about the company until we got this email. But the email is asking us to take down the post. Except, it's not. Rather than asking that we remove our post, it actually asks us to remove a copy of the post on a spam blog that appears to copy every Techdirt post (there are a bunch of sites out there that do this and get no traffic -- it makes no sense to us, but they're free to use our content that way, if they want). Here's the email:
This has reference to the below article on your webpage, we kindly request you to deactivate the link as the article is defaming the company's image & its prospects. It was mis-interpreted by the news agency which was blown out of proportion by some of the pirates across the globe. And subsequently we have to face damages/threats from the pirates & undergo immense losses due to their attack on our servers/websites etc.Interesting stuff. First of all, they used our copyright notification email, and this issue has nothing to do with copyright. Second, they are asking us to remove our content from a site that is not ours, and which we have no control over. The content did, certainly, originate from our site, but they don't ask us to remove the content on our site. This does not speak highly of their technical skills, let alone their basic understanding of this World Wide Web we live on. Finally, as to the claim that this is "defaming," the article directly quotes the company's CEO.
Although, we did declare that we are not involved in any of those activities as published in the article, we still have to face the consequences for reasons unknown.
Below is the link for your reference:
We kindly request you to deactivate at the earliest possible please.
Appreciate your help on this matter.

Aiplex Software Pvt. Ltd.
Anyway, seeing as we don't control the web page they've asked us to take down, we obviously won't be doing a damn thing about it, other than to publish this post and hope that, sometime in the future, Aiplex learns a little bit about how the web works.

Investigators believe a personal feud may have led an active duty soldier to shoot a 30-year-old man to death in broad daylight Tuesday afternoon on Savannah's southside.
Savannah-Chatham police officers found Armondo Montes dead just before 12:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the tire repair shop he owned at the corner of White Bluff Road and Hampstead Avenue, said Julian Miller, police spokesman.
Within minutes of the shooting, Miller said, 31-year-old Emanuel Perez turned himself in to Military Police at nearby Hunter Army Airfield.
Perez allegedly shot Montes several times after a confrontation stemming from a personal dispute between the two individuals. The soldier was turned over the Savannah-Chatham police Tuesday afternoon who charged him with murder. He was booked into the Chatham County jail.
Throughout much of the afternoon violent crimes detectives and forensic investigators remained at Brother's Tire Repair LLC, where they focused their investigation between a black sedan directly in front of a service bay and a large, dark blue Ford truck. The truck was later towed from the scene.
Montes was Savannah's ninth homicide victim in 2013. Savannah-Chatham police have made arrests in four of the previous cases.
Miller said the investigation into Tuesday's shooting death will continue.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.
A confidential Tip Line also is open directly to investigators at 912-525-3124.

Stupid Is as Stupid Does: Mishaps on the Trail and in the Water
This is the time of year Daniel Boone wannabes emerge from hibernation, lace up their hiking boots or hop into canoes and kayaks — an annual migration occasionally marked by stupid decisions that result in lost souls wandering off marked trails, tumbling off ledges or flipping over in rapids.
Just the other day Rhode Island firefighters fished a guy from the rain-swollen Pawcatuck River after he and some buddies decided to head out after dark — naturally, none of them wearing lifejackets.
After some boats turtled somebody called 911, and while most scrambled ashore one hapless, sodden wretch clung to a tree branch for an hour until rescuers arrived. A happy ending; perhaps, a valuable lesson.
Not a week goes by that a hiker gets lost in the woods somewhere in Connecticut — particularly shameful considering it's almost impossible to be farther than a couple miles from a Dunkin Donuts, Golden Arches or Motel 6 anywhere in the state.
At least when I've become disoriented I've had the self-respect to do so in the deep woods of Maine or the mountains of New Hampshire.
Full disclosure: In my extensive wilderness forays I've been guilty of a few missteps, due to my predilection for exploring uncharted turf and willingness to endure an occasional bramble patch. That might explain why some friends always seem to have other plans ("Gee, I'd love to go, except the dog needs a bath") whenever I call to suggest an expedition.
Still, just as the burned hand teaches best, there's nothing like being forced to spend a night or two in the rain to encourage the navigationally challenged hiker to carry maps and learn how to read a compass.
Failing that, the wayward wander risks "naturing out," using a phrase often employed by a friend who delights in nominating people for Darwin Awards. These tongue-in-cheek honors are bestowed on individuals who have contributed to human evolution by self-selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization after unnecessarily foolish actions.
So far I've managed to avoid qualifying for a Darwin by taking a few precautions: I always wear a personal flotation device while kayaking, and before venturing out on water or land tell my wife or some other responsible person where I'm going and when I'll be back.
Such simple, basic rules by no means guarantee anyone will avoid peril in the great outdoors, but at least they may help improve the odds of survival.
I usually carry a water bottle, even on short hikes, and pack snacks, a rain jacket and other gear if the itinerary calls for being out for more than a few hours.
I've previously outlined my objections to cellphones on the trail so won't belabor the point other than to say it's not so much because one-way electronic conversations are intrusive, but because having a phone can instill a false sense of security. Too many people take chances or don't pay attention to conditions, incorrectly figuring they can always call for help in an emergency.
Anyway, it's a great time to enjoy the outdoors (actually, it's always a great time), so get out there, enjoy yourself, and try not to earn a Darwin Award.

Don't allow the candle of hope in your life to go out
What has caused you to feel that the candle of hope in your life is soon to go out? Could it be civil war in your home of some kind? Discord in your marriage? Turmoil in your business or work place? Is the source of your hopelessness nothing you can really pinpoint just a general feeling of depression? Disillusionment? Discouragement? Are you convinced Jesus Christ will reign in the world at some future time, but you don't know what difference that makes in your life today?
The three worst mistakes in life
"And he said to them, 'Take care, and beware of all coveteousness; for a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possession.'" (See Luke 12:16-21, RSV).
Sweeping floors and dusting shelves for the Master Himself
"Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men" (Colossians 3:22-23).
What does it mean to have intimacy with God?
"I Love You," someone whispers, but what does it mean? What is love? If someone asked you to define love, what would you say?
Today the word love is tossed around loosely far too casually. Modern society is confused about love. Motion pictures and TV productions often portray love as a cheap relationship because it is based on a fleeting feeling and not on a deep commitment.
The Lord our God is one Lord
Wasn't this past weekend beautiful?
Sixty degree plus weather and sunshine. One of my younger grandchildren brought a big smile when they remarked, "I sure am glad winter is over." I didn't have the heart to tell them that most likely it was not over.

The Kentuckiana Cat Club
was founded in 1958 as a chartered club of the
American Cat Fanciers Association
. Based in Louisville,KY, it serves cat owners in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. For information on membership or meeting dates contact
The Kentuckiana Cat Club
encourages the adoption of homeless cats and kittens from shelters and rescues. However, if you would prefer to have a purebred cat due to a desire for a particular predictable physical or personality characteristic, we advise you to buy from a reputable breeder rather than a pet shop or "kitten mill" breeder because :
A reputable breeder will
Guarantee the health of a kitten whether or not a law requires it
Always recommend and usually require the neutering or spaying of all pet quality kittens
Register the cats with a national registry, such as ACFA or CFA
Be familiar with current show standards for the breed so as not to misrepresent the quality of the cats
Be available to answer questions and give advice for as long as you have your cat.
A kitten bought from a reputable breeder will almost always cost less than a kitten of equal quality bought at a pet shop.
For a list of breeders belonging to the Kentuckiana Cat Club click on the Catteries button on the left.
The Kentuckiana Cat Club
believes that the very important issue of the welfare of all cats is better served by programs to educate the public and to neuter and spay pet cats rather than by legislation designed to restrict ownership.

A look at the proposed peace plan for Ukraine
A potential peace deal for Ukraine has emerged after months of political chaos, deadly violence, economic volatility and the worst crisis between Russia and the West in a generation. Here's a look at the plan, crafted by the Organization for Security and Cooperation and Europe, a security and rights monitoring group made up of European countries including Russia.
The plan calls for all sides to refrain from violence, intimidation and provocations, with OSCE teams helping to investigate and prosecute violations. Protesters occupying buildings would leave and surrender their weapons, and receive amnesty in return. No more referendums would be allowed, after a hastily arranged vote in Crimea led to the region joining Russia, and after insurgents in two other eastern provinces organized ballots last weekend.
Central to the plan is a series of round-table talks and town hall meetings involving Ukrainian authorities and those who "feel alienated from government" — such as the insurgents in eastern Ukraine. The talks would aim to decentralize Ukraine's government and maintain the status of the Russian language, which is commonly spoken in Ukraine, especially in the areas where opposition to the Kiev government runs highest.
Nationwide presidential elections on May 25 would go ahead as planned, possibly with added questions related to the issues under discussion.
The plan was worked out by Switzerland, which holds the rotating leadership of the OSCE. It was presented last week to Russia, Ukraine, the United States and European Union.
Russia has welcomed the initiative, which reflects some key demands of the insurgents. Russian President Vladimir Putin talked with Swiss President Didier Burkhalter about it last week and again Monday.
The EU threw its weight behind the effort on Monday, and Germany's foreign minister talked it up in Ukraine on Tuesday. France and Germany had already pushed for a national dialogue between the interim government in Kiev and representatives of all Ukrainian regions.
The United States is more skeptical of the plan's chances for success in part because it feels Russia didn't carry out its obligations under earlier agreements. That said, the U.S. appears to see little harm in testing Putin's willingness to accept this road map.
The position of Ukraine's government is unclear. Acting Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk approved round table talks moderated by a veteran German diplomat, but insisted Tuesday that Ukraine — not the OSCE — should negotiate the future of the country with its own citizens. The foreign ministry lamented that the plan doesn't include any specific obligations for Russia.
The OSCE is setting up a fund to finance a disarmament program that would get armed groups to give up their weapons and release hostages and buildings. It is also prepared to bolster its 200-member mission in Ukraine. Germany's foreign minister is in Ukraine trying to get the Ukrainian government and its foes to negotiate.
But major hurdles remain: Ukraine's fumbling authorities would need to draft and pass an amnesty law, keep violence in check and organize talks with their opponents, which so far they have refused to do.
And it's unclear who speaks for the insurgents, who lack a single leader or agreed goals. When Putin asked them not to hold last weekend's referendums they did so anyway.

GLcore was once the name of the Mesa-based software renderer used by the X server for indirect GLX contexts. When AIGLX was added, the X server could instead use a DRI driver for the indirect renderer; GLcore remained as a special build of Mesa for the software GL case. Starting with xserver 1.5 the server instead uses the same interface to software drivers as libGL, and GLcore is no longer built.
This all has nothing to do with OpenGL core contexts (with the exception that, since Xorg only implements GLX protocol supporting through OpenGL 1.5, it is not possible to create an indirect core context even if the same driver could support a direct core context).

With 2013 coming to an end, New Year's Resolutions are the hot topic! Are you trying to get that bikini body to rock your designer swimwear for the New Year? Ladies, the following 5 tips are simple ways to help you live a healthier lifestyle, AND achieve that killer bikini bod for the New Year!
1) Warm Lemon Water & Tea
Drinking warm lemon water each morning and a tea of your choice before bed is a great way to rid that extra unwanted water weight. Did you know, lemons help kick start your metabolism and curve hunger cravings? Tea is an amazing alternative to coffee and has so many health and weight managing benefits as well. Make these two drinks a part of your daily routine for a flatter mid section, and hot little bikini body to show off your new sexy swimwear.
2) Hot Yoga
If you haven't already, we challenge you to take a hot yoga class in the New Year. Not only is yoga good for your mind, but it does wonders for the body. Yoga is a great practice to make a part of your lifestyle for many reasons, and getting in bikini body shape happens to be at the top of our list! Celebrities like Giselle Bundchen, Jennifer Aniston, and Jessica Biel, (all who have rockin' bodies) practice yoga several times a week. Hot yoga is an addicting way to work up a sweat, and you can burn 300-600 calories during a one hour class! We promise if you're a newbie to hot yoga, you will soon be obsessed and love the results.
3) Dine Out less. Cook at Home More
Who doesn't love dining out for a meal? We sure do, but this year our motto is "dine out less, cook at home more." Cooking meals at home helps you monitor what you are putting into your body, which is very important when trying to get that hard body, perfect for flaunting luxury swimwear. Make cooking fun, by finding new recipes to cook with friends. You never know, it may become one of your new favorite hobbies!
4) Everything in Moderation
"Moderation is key." We're sure you've heard that one before, but ladies it is SO true! It's totally okay to indulge every once in a while with a martini or a little slice of heaven AKA your favorite desert. It's perfectly acceptable to cheat every once in a while… just remember everything in moderation, and stay focused on your goals, and it will be easy to get right back on track!
5) Change up your workout routine
Remember to really see a CHANGE in your body, it is essential to CHANGE up your workouts and shock your body. You will see the most results when you're working new muscles all the time and feeling sore in different areas. I don't know about you but I tend to get bored doing the same routine over and over so I find it fun to try a new workout every week!
After you accomplish all of your goals and get that celebrity bikini body like Audrina Patridge, of course you are going to want to show it off in some sexy designer swimwear! One of my favorite bikinis from the new collection is the bright and sexy Guilty Pleasure Bikini. It is glam and beachy at the same time and the best way to show off your rocking bikini body.

A Spartanburg woman was killed Tuesday as she tried to cross the railroad tracks on North Forest Street and was hit by a train.
A Spartanburg woman was killed Tuesday as she tried to cross the railroad tracks on North Forest Street and was hit by a train.
Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Clevenger said Deborah McBeth, 61, of B.J. Legins Street, died at the scene.
Spartanburg Public Safety Capt. Art Littlejohn said the incident was reported at 2:52 p.m. He said the crossing lights and arms were working properly when McBeth tried to cross the tracks headed north. She was hit by a westbound Norfolk Southern train. Littlejohn said it's possible that McBeth was looking at an eastbound train at the time and did not notice the one headed west that struck her.
Officers roped off the railroad crossing with yellow tape. McBeth's body lie on the gravel beside the tracks a few dozen feet from the crossing.
Both police and friends of McBeth who gathered at the scene said McBeth has been hit several times by cars while walking the streets while drunk.
McBeth had her problems, said her friend, Tarsha Jeter, but she was still a good person. Jeter said many people in that area of town knew her, considered her a friend and looked out for her.
"I would say, 'McBeth, stay out of the streets,'" Jeter said. "She was a good person. She's going to be missed."
Ronald Lyles was a longtime friend of McBeth's and said he had seen her Tuesday morning. He said she was likely walking back up North Forest Street from the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen when she was hit by the train.
Lyles, visibly distraught, said he was devastated by her death.
"She was free hearted," said Lyles, with tears in his eyes. "She was kind. She didn't deserve this."
The case is under investigation by the Spartanburg Public Safety Department, Norfolk Southern and Spartanburg County Coroner's Office. It is the third train-related fatality in Spartanburg County so far this year.

AMD 5000+ Black Edition AM2 X2 Processor Review
It's a good time to be an enthusiast. I remember the days of setting dip switches on the Goldfinger devices and butchering my hands opening up the cases on the SECC1 cartridge on the Slot As, then using candle wax, crayons, and conductive ink to link the bridges on the Socket A. With clock multipliers being locked on most CPUs now, save for the ultra high end AMD-FX, Intel Extreme Edition, and almost unattainable engineering samples, AMD has extended an olive branch to the enthusiasts offering unlocked multipliers on its Black Edition CPUs.
The Black Edition currently consists of the AMD 5000+ X2 BE, AMD 6400+ X2 BE, and Phenom 9600 BE. Stay with me here, the 6400+ X2 Black Edition was released first in late August 2007 as the "top dog" 90mm Windsor core with 2x1MB L2 cache at 125W TDP running 3.2GHz. The multipliers are available from 16x downwards (i.e multipliers locked). The 5000+ X2 was released in late September 2007 based on the 65mm Brisbane core with 2x512MB L2 cache at 65W TDP running 2.6GHz. The multipliers are fully unlocked (4x-25x). Following suit, the Phenom 9600 Black Edition also has unlocked multipliers.
Closer Look:
The retail packaging of the AMD 5000+ X2 Black Edition is, you guessed it, a black box.
The AMD 5000+ X2 Black Edition was shipped from AMD and was packaged in an AMD clamshell.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Bill O'Brien said his love for coaching Penn State outweighed a desire to pursue opportunities to move to the pinnacle of his profession and a big payday from the NFL.
A year to the day after being first introduced in Happy Valley, O'Brien also asserted several times that he has not asked, nor received a raise, and that no one has approached him about a salary bump, either.
O'Brien spoke at Beaver Stadium for the first time since the end of an 8-4 season, a smashing success considering the NCAA sanctions against the program for the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
He said Monday he had conversations with a few NFL teams who reached out last week while he was on vacation, but no job was ever offered.
He declined to name the interested teams. The Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles were among teams who spoke with O'Brien.
The former Patriots offensive coordinator, 43, noted that the NFL was the highest level he could achieve in his profession. The teams contacted him "out of respect of what we did this year," O'Brien said. "That's as far as it went ... At the end of the day, the most important decision that I made is the decision to be here at Penn State.
"I can't think of a better place to be."
His agent, Joe Linta, said last week that there would probably be discussions with the school about O'Brien's current contract, worth about $2.3 million.
With acting athletic director Dave Joyner in attendance, O'Brien said he has never initiated any talks about a raise in his career, and that no one from the university or any donor has spoken to him about a raise, too.
"If it was about money, more than likely I wouldn't be sitting here right now," he said. "It's about making sure that Penn State ... does everything we can do in our power to make sure place is the best it can be for our student athletes."

Not sure what position on a ship would suit my character idea, but I'm going to make a Kyūdō martial artist (archery) - no fruit - looking to a Zolo-ish character. I'll post more when I have more access to the net but would be interested in suggested positions from anyone.

Unity game for cardboard. Tap a mole clone. -- 2
Presupuesto $30-250 USD
Some years ago I developed a mobile app that is a clone of the great game Tap a Mole, the game is available now on Play Store and Apple Store as "stappa monforte".
Now it's time to update that game adding VR, 360° and cardboard.
The player will stand in our office and will tap us rising up from behind the monitors.
I would like to use photo shoot for the game and not 3d models. I can shoot 360 photo and video with a Richo Tetha S
Audio effects should help the player to identify targets on this back. Targets will rise at 360° around the player.

Coffee tables serve a variety of uses. Whilst some are used only for the display of ornaments in many homes they have replaced the family dining table. What functions your table must fulfill should be one of the key considerations when you are selecting it. You must decide whether you need storage and if so whether you want the items you are storing to be on public display or hidden from view. Lift top coffee tables sound like a good idea but are only really useful if you intend to keep the surface clear. Otherwise each time that you need to remove or replace an item you have to clear the top of the table first. Often a coffee table with a drawer or shelf can be a more convenient choice. A coffee table will be a key purchase for your living space. It is worth investing the time and energy into choosing a table that will meet both your aesthetic and functional needs and be something that you will use and love for many years.
Keep an upholstered ottoman 18 inches from a sofa or chair so you can easily put up your feet and make sure the height is consistent with the surrounding seats. If you get a tufted ottoman consider the depth of the tufts — especially if you expect to eat on it. Crumbs will find their way into the tufting and are not always easy to get out. Round coffee tables aid circulation especially where there are many available seats as in this example. If not every seat can reach the table make sure there's another surface at hand. Using a vintage object for a coffee table adds a bit of history — a story — to a room and is one of my favorite things to do. Make sure the piece is stable and all the connections are secure. If you need to refinish the piece ask the vendor precisely what it's made from as this will help in the refinishing process. Another consideration is how it will sit on your floor or rug and if it will damage those surfaces. Splintered table legs or rusty metal bases can scratch or stain the flooring. Secondhand stores sometimes leave those areas unrefinished so be sure to check.

MARIO GUTIERREZ, QUIET OASIS, Winner: "The race went exactly like we thought. He (trainer Ben Cecil) told me to break out of there and try to get her to relax. Actually, she was pretty easy to ride today. She relaxed really well and we got the job done."
MIKE SMITH, NEREID, Fourth: "Naturally I would have loved to win, but she ran dynamite. Coming off a layoff she ran great. She'll improve."
h4.Trainer Quotes
BEN CECIL, QUIET OASIS, Winner: "I told (owner J.) Paul (Reddam) we should run in the 6 ½ furlong allowance (the seventh race May 4) because I thought first time off the layoff she'd be a little keen. So I let him make the call and he made the right one to run here. He gets all the credit. We've always thought a lot of her. We're hoping next time she'll settle even more. How far she'll go is a question mark."
VLADIMIR CERIN, BRIECAT, Deadheat for second: "I'm not surprised she got tired. She lost her shoe and ripped her foot up right at the start of her last race, so she missed enough training to where I was a little concerned. But you know what, you can't pass these races up just because you missed a little training."
JOHN SHIRREFFS, NEREID, Fourth: "She ran really well. I thought it was a very nice race first time back. We'll move on from here."

Atlanta drew even in the third quarter but the Raiders defensive forced a 20-yard Matt Bryant field goal in a goal-to-go situation to keep it anyone's game going into the fourth quarter.
John Abraham hit Carson Palmer with a blindside sack that defensive end Ray Edwards recovered and took to the 2-yard line. Atlanta would never get any closer than the 1, with Rolando McClain stuffing Jason Snelling on third-and-inches following an Oakland neutral zone infraction.
