So I'm sure we all have Facebook friends that post crazy, amusing, disturbing things about god. So what are the worst or most amusing things that you have seen? That and do you ever respond to these posts or just ignore them or even just delete people from your friends list? Furthermore how have other people reacted to your own posts about Atheism or subjects that might go against the faith of friends or family?

I'm not seeing too many more of those anymore since I posted a comment about my public library having a book of Jesus in the biographies of the children's section.
This is from a recent doorstep debate with a born again christian - "the distances in space are just too astronomical to be measured accurately". That was the end of the conversation.
Look at this marvellous piece of logic and reasoning here. This is a guy I used to know in high school and like many religious people (and many non-religious) he is a decent person. However he thanks God not for his genius and for his hard work but for creating him and as a direct result of creating him, giving him an opportunity to work hard and be a genius. He says God is the creator and is also a non-interventionist; how convenient. He goes on to say that we have free will and we can do what we want and that we have agency.
Major contradiction here; he says God does nothing, I did all the work so I get most of the credit, but somehow God is involved since he has some magical, mysterious and inexplicable hand in everything, SO WE THANK HIM!
I work in the same field as your friend and its always amazing to see smart people who still buy into this god stuff. I always wonder if they really believe or are they doing it for business reasons or perhaps just are too afraid to admit that they don't believe to anyone let alone themselves. A few family law or criminal cases really should cure you of this bible stuff to be honest...
1- I dont trust facebook!
2- I discourage arguing those kinds of people, they just want to argue and argue!
"So I'm sure we all have Facebook friends that post crazy, amusing, disturbing things about god."
Actually.. No. Guess I'm the lucky one. :)
I've muted a few people for this reason who ask hey did you see my post earlier about such and such and I'm like oh umm... I must have missed it... you know how crazy this new facebook is.
That normally works pretty well.
People who talk about god's love I suspect mostly have gone to the cheerful churches that pave over most of the bible because they know they would lose most of people if they really knew more about the bible. I had to tell an adult friend that he shouldn't use a kids bible to understand the bible since its edited for content he didn't seem to realize this.
I eventually "defriended" a long time friend after multiple letters about her "joy in the Lord" and multiple viral emails about "miracles" in African countries which were horrifically naive. For example, I can see nothing "miraculous" about the survival of a freshly born infant whose poverty stricken mother had just died on the table. What kind of a monstrous god would kill the mother and then leave the defenseless child to suffer and die slowly from hunger and mal-nutrition.
Nor can I see anything "miraculous" about a man who comes out of coma while being prayed over by some evangelicals. He had been involved in a car accident, was taken to a reasonably staffed hospital but left against the doctors advice in order to see another doctor in a different town who had the "right" Christian beliefs. This incompetent doctor pronounced him dead on arrival and and sent him home in a coffin. The video footage of him after the "miracle" showed that he had gait and speech problems that indicated permanent brain damage - something that might have been avoided if his "god" had persuaded him to stay at the first hospital. As a retired neuro-scientist, that one really disturbed me.
It made me angry that my friend's brain appeared to have been taken over by some kind of mind eating slug.
Religion. A.K.A. a mind eating slug.... Sometimes I wish people would send this kind of crap to me so I could rip it to shreds and send back the pieces (that's a metaphor obviously...). Apparently people in Australia are either atheists or smart enough not to send religious junk to atheists.
If only we could really blame a mind eating slug.... it makes it so much more confusing that they don't have something causing their lapse in logic.

Rodriguez' Grand Night Leads Canaries To Win
SIOUX FALLS, SD -- Marcos Rodriguez belted a grand slam and tied a team record with seven RBI in the Sioux Falls Canaries' 9-1 victory over the Gary SouthShore RailCats on Friday night.
Rodriguez became the fifth player in Canaries history to drive in seven runs, going 3-for-4 and finishing a triple short of the cycle before 4,122 fans at Sioux Falls Stadium.
He pushed the Canaries lead to 3-0 with run-scoring single in the third inning before his two-out grand slam in the fourth inning made it 7-1.
Rodriguez capped the evening off with a two-run double in the sixth inning for the game's final runs.
Now in his seventh season in the American Association, Rodriguez is second among active player in career hits (636) in the league. He began the season with Laredo and is now hitting .321 in 21 games with the Canaries since joining them on June 25.
Canaries starter Mitchell Clegg (4-3) received plenty of run support while turning in a quality start. He held the RailCats to one run on four hits through 6 2/3 innings. His only blemish was a solo home run by Drew Martinez in the fourth inning. Clegg walked one and struck out a season-high seven batters.
James Adkins (0-2) took the loss in a spot start for Gary SouthShore. He lasted just 3 1/3 innings, giving up six runs, five earned, on four hits. He walked five and struck out one. He gave up a bases-loaded walk to Tim Pahuta in the first inning for the Canaries first run, and the Birds led the entire time after that.
The Canaries(25-35) won their seventh straight home game and remained undefeated against Gary (34-25) in five games this season.
The four-game home series continues at 7:05 p.m. on Saturday at Sioux Falls Stadium.

Explorers, Shockers clash in West Regional semifinals
Los Angeles, CA – Just the second of the so-called First Four teams to make it to the Sweet 16, the La Salle Explorers seek their fourth win of the 2013 NCAA Tournament when they take the floor against the Wichita State Shockers in the West Regional Semifinals at Staples Center on Thursday night.
La Salle, which joined VCU's 2011 squad as the only other program to start from such humble beginnings in the tourney and then make it this far, would certainly be the top story among the remaining teams in the event if not for the fact that Florida Gulf Coast is the first No. 15 seed ever to make it this far. The 13th seed, the Explorers toppled Boise State in the first round of the tournament on March 20 by a score of 80-71 in Dayton before moving on to Kansas City.
The site of La Salle's first and only national title back in 1954 when the Explorers dismissed Bradley (92-76), Kansas City was again good to La Salle as the team first defeated Kansas State by a basket in the second round, 63-61, and then picked up another two-point victory versus Ole Miss on Sunday in order to advance.
As for the ninth-seeded Shockers, they like La Salle earned an at-large bid for the tourney and have also scored a pair of upsets in order to move to an even 10-10 in this event over the years. The trip to the round of 16 began with an impressive 73-55 romp over Pittsburgh, and then continued with a 76-70 victory versus top-seeded and top-ranked Gonzaga which by some estimations was not so much of an upset.
The Shockers, who played in the shadow of Creighton for much of the regular season in the Missouri Valley Conference yet are still standing after the Bluejays fell to Duke over the weekend in the third round, won the only previous meeting between these two programs back in 2003 during the Paradise Jam, albeit by a narrow 74-71 final.
The winner of this contest heads to the Elite Eight where it will contend against the survivor of the Arizona/Ohio State matchup for the right to advance to the Final Four in Atlanta.
Operating with a four-guard offense, La Salle head coach Dr. John Giannini may have put his team at a disadvantage on the glass, but in the end his squad still had more than enough fight in them to score the two-point win against the Rebels, thanks to what has been dubbed the 'Southwest Philly floater'.
Tyrone Garland, who stands just 6-1, swept his way from the left side of the lane over to the right and scooped in what became the game-winning shot beyond the reach of Ole Miss center Reginald Buckner who stands 6-9 and thus one of the most important baskets in La Salle history was given life, and a name.
For Garland, who shot just 1-of-8 from the floor in the win against Kansas State, the basket was the highlight of his 17-point effort, trailing only Ramon Galloway and Tyreek Duren who registered 24 and 19 points, respectively. The Explorers lost the rebounding battle, 40-30, but managed to shut down the Rebels beyond the arc as Ole Miss made good on only 4-of-19 attempts.
On a team that is generating 72.5 ppg this season, Galloway heads the list of individual scorers with his 17.4 ppg, racking up 92 3-pointers along the way while also finding his teammates for 124 assists. Duren checks in with 14.4 ppg and another 107 dishes which helps to take some of the load off Galloway. Garland (13.0 ppg) and Jerrell Wright (10.7 ppg) also lend a hand on offense, the latter responsible for a team-best 6.8 rpg.
Wichita State's defense went right after the Bulldogs last Saturday night, holding Gonzaga to a mere nine made field goals in the first half and 3-of-12 shooting beyond the arc in the frame. While the Zags were able to bounce back in the second half and even take a 49-41 lead with the aid of a 12-0 run, but WSU then closed the meeting with a 35-21 scoring advantage to send the Bulldogs packing.
Ron Baker and Cleanthony Early both dropped in 16 points for the Shockers, the latter clearing seven boards and the former six rebounds to go with four assists. Fred VanVleet came off the bench to add 13 points and three dishes in his 20 minutes of action to make up for Malcolm Armstead who shot just 2-of-9 from the floor and tallied eight points.
Even though he has been coming off the bench of late, Early is still the leading scorer for the Shockers with his 13.9 ppg, discovering a large portion of his points at the free-throw line where he is close to 80 percent accurate. Carl Hall checks in with 12.6 ppg and is first on the glass with almost seven rebounds per game, which explains his reluctance to from shooting 3-point range, while Armstead (10.6 ppg) is actually the most accomplished perimeter shooter for the program with 57 conversions, not to mention being tops with 143 assists at the same time.

My favorite new fingerless mitt pattern, Evangeline.
I have seen these around, but was really drawn to them when Tiennie showed them in a whole array of beautiful colors.
I thought it only appropriate to make them in red for my friend Michelle, who celebrates her birthday on Valentines Day. The pattern has two lengths. Wrist or Elbow. This pair is a little in between with five repeats of the pattern before the thumb. A total of six repeats.
And a Valentine gift for my mother. I made hers a little shorter. She thought they would be nice to wear inside the house for those cooler days in Florida. Three repeats before the thumb for a total of four repeats.

I love the color of your mitts, and how you wrapped them with pretty ribbon. I've had to jump on the band wagon, and I knit my first 'Evangaline' last night ;-) Hope to do the second one today, then I think it's about time I blogged again.

Those are just perfect! I could use a pair when I am in the store since it is an old building, and drafty, my wrists and hands always get cold! I am going to have to check out the pattern, could be the cure for my knitting hiatus!ReplyDelete

To my surprise, bridal is not bride plus the suffix -al (as in, say, central).
Etymologically it's "bride-ale": Old English brȳdealo, "wedding ale" or "wedding feast", which is brȳd "bride" plus ealu "ale".

I guess 'bridal' could be viewed as a kind of egg-corn then, couldn't it?

Kris Humphries has filed for an annulment of his 72-day marriage to Kim Kardashian, citing fraud.
In the legal documents filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, the basketball player checked the box reading "nullity of voidable marriage," citing the basis as being "fraud."
The documents also stated that Humphries would seek a legal separation instead of a divorce, if his annulment is denied.
In order to be granted an annulment, the court would need to find that the marriage was invalid. Reasons may include fraud, bigamy, incest, force, or if the couple is under the age of consent.
"It is true he filed for legal separation and nullity of marriage," Humphries' rep confirmed to OnTheRedCarpet.com.
The athlete's representative also slammed Star magazine's cover story, which claimed Humphries was gay, calling it "completely false."
Kardashian filed for divorce at a Los Angeles court, 72 days after getting married on August 20 in Montecito, California. The pair signed a prenuptial agreement which allowed Kardashian to keep all money earned during their short marriage.
Humphries should manage just fine though, with the NBA lockout ending and his recent endorsement deal with Sector watches which will reportedly earn him $150,000.
Since Kardashian filed for divorce, Humphries has kept quiet about his personal life with the exception of a single statement he made in regards to the divorce.
"I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents. I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce ... I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work," Humphries said in a statement at the time.
Humphries acknowledged that he was going through a "very difficult time in my life" at a press conference on November 17.
Kardashian's E! network reality series "Kourtney & Kim Take New York" premiered on Sunday to record ratings and revealed early troubles Humphries and Kardashian's marriage.
"He fell in love with me and I fell in love with him and now my feelings have changed," the 31-year-old Kardashian sister said. "I failed at this - you don't think I feel bad?"
The 26-year-old athlete also caused an argument when he suggested to Kim that the two move to his native Minnesota, but Kim believed her career would suffer. Humphries, however, felt that won't be an issue.
"By the time you have kids, no one will probably care about you," Humphries told his then-wife.
The wedding of Kardashian and Humphries took place on August 20 under tight security at a $20 million estate near Santa Barbara. More than 500 people, including celebrities, attended the highly-publicized event.
Kardashian and Humphries began dating in late 2010 and announced their engagement in May. The reality star was previously married to music producer Damon Thomas. The two wed in 2000, when she was 19 years old, and divorced in 2004.
Kardashian cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. She and Humphries have no children.

36w5d- Throughout my pregnancy, I've created little milestones to keep me going. If you look at the full 40 weeks as one big lump sum, it's too daunting. (I'm going to be pregnant for almost the entire next year?!) So I've tried to look at it more in segments, creating little milestones in an attempt to keep me motivated from week-to-week. This week, my baby sister's graduation from college, is my final milestone. I can't believe it.
The first milestone was finally getting to tell everyone that I was pregnant. That first trimester was definitely the hardest for many reasons, so finally getting to 13 weeks and getting to proclaim my pregnancy was a huge relief. Next, we vacationed in New York to see all the Christmas fanfare. We knew it was the last time we would fly anywhere for a while. Then there was a big one — our 20-week appointment to learn that little Nugget was a girl and growing healthfully. That milestone got me motivated for a long time. I'd even say it was the biggest and most anticipated event of my pregnancy (other than the birth, of course). Next up was my birthday, Jason's birthday, our anniversary, our baby showers and a few others mixed in along the way.
All these events kept me focused on just a few weeks out, instead of May 20. In a 26-mile marathon, I tried to run just one mile at a time.
Last weekend's mile marker was Jason's cousin's wedding. For me, this wedding always seemed so far away since it was the second-to-last event before the big event. "There's no way it's ever going to be here because that means I'll be ridiculously pregnant and almost ready to give birth," is what always ran through my head. Well, it was here. And now it's gone. How did that happen? The wedding was amazing, and it was so nice to see our Texas family one last time before Abby arrives. It was also very interesting because my body continually reminded me of my 9-month-pregnant status. I couldn't do what everyone else was doing, which frustrated me. Something definitely changed between weeks 35 and 36. Between the late nights, loud music and miles of walking, I came home both nights and passed out like a baby. (Side note: I did rock heels for the first time in a long time, which I was proud of! And then I had the worst bout of sciatica I've ever had… ha! It was so worth it though.)
The last big milestone is this Friday, May 4th, when my little sister graduates from nursing school at the University of Florida. Even though it's happening this week, it still seems far away for some strange reason. Maybe I'm in denial.
So, after this week, I'll be running my final mile and finally allowing myself to look at week 40. I'll get to meet my daughter. Everything has been leading up to this point. I can't believe it's almost here.
Did you have little milestones throughout your pregnancy? What was the last one before your baby's arrival?

A walk along Highway 74 leading to downtown Evergreen is a venture fraught with potential hazards, as vehicles zoom past wary pedestrians.
Evergreen High students face similar challenges if they decide to hoof it from the school to the Evergreen Library.
The Downtown Evergreen Economic District is hoping to make the area more accessible to pedestrians with connecting trails. But first, a plan needs to be created. To begin the process, DEED has applied for a Great Outdoors Colorado planning grant, which the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners has endorsed.

Since their 2011 wedding, Prince William and wife Catherine have embarked on two tours, which has seen them visit Canada, United States and South-east Asia.
However, speaking today, private secretary Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton to the Duke and Duchess, said William and Kate would be focussing on their family life this year and a view on royal tours will be "assessed" later on.
This year will be an important year for the royal couple, as in July they will welcome their first child. The royal baby will become third in line, after Prince Charles and Prince William, and will one day become the King or Queen.
Secretary Lowther-Pinkerton continued that the pair will be unable to tour overseas during to Catherine's pregnancy. He said: "I'm not anticipating the Duke and Duchess taking on overseas tours because of her baby."
While it has been suggested that it is "highly unlikely" that the couple will take on a tour, it has not been ruled out that the Prince will make a visit solo.
Despite being almost six months pregnant, The Duchess of Cambridge has continued to work. Catherine, last week joined Her Majesty The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh to celebrate 150 years of the Underground, at Baker Street Station. During the visit she was given a "baby on board" badge and revealed she missed taking the tube.
While it is unlikely there will be a overseas this year, it is suspected that Prince William and The Duchess of Cambridge will tour in 2014, with Ireland and Australia both being heavily rumoured.
During their 2012 Diamond Jubilee tour of South-east Asia, a French magazine decided to print personal photos of the Duchess, taken on a private holiday. At the time, St. James's Palace released a statement saying the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were angry and sad at the intrusion of privacy. As the news broke, the royal couple visited a mosque in the centre of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and focused on the rest of their tour.
Along with two tours on behalf of Her Majesty, Prince William and The Duchess of Cambridge also joined Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary of Denmark, in November 2011, in Denmark. The two royal couples toured UNICEF's global crisis center in the Danish capital.

Musikmesse Frankfurt : Alesis Releases New DM6 Kit, e-Practice Pad and Practice Amp for Drummers
Drummers everywhere have felt the Alesis electronic percussion difference. Alesis is proud to introduce the DM6 Kit, their latest drum set for cost-conscious drummers. With great sounds, great feel, and a price you won't believe, the DM6 Kit is sure to be your drumsticks' best friend.
The new Alesis DM-6 Drum Kit is the perfect choice for aspiring drummers everywhere. The DM6 Kit highlights the best of Alesis' 20 years of experience in professional electronic percussion gear. This electronic drumset features a completely new sound module with 108 quality drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds. Its pads feel great and its hardware and rack system are high quality.
Like all Alesis drumsets, the DM6 Kit features realistic, natural-feeling playing surfaces. To reduce vibration feedback, we selected natural rubber drum and cymbal surfaces for the DM6 Kit's pads. This five-piece kit gets you started on a dual-zone snare pad for two-sound compatibility. You can dial in a snare drum sound in the center and a rim click, rimshot, or something totally different like a cowbell on the rim!
The DM6 Kit also comes with three tom pads, an upright kick drum pad, hi-hat, crash, and ride cymbal pads. It even comes with an Alesis bass drum pedal and the kick pad is compatible with most single and double-bass pedals for your custom feel.
The brand-new DM6 module features an internal collection of top-notch drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds that will blow you away. You can edit and save your drum kits for custom sounds. You get 10 presets and 5 custom slots. In addition to the sounds in the DM6 module, there's a USB output that sends the notes you play out as MIDI signal, so you can use the DM6 as a trigger-to-MIDI interface with drum-module software such as BFD, Toontrack, or Reason for a limitless collection of sounds.
The DM6 has headphone and amplifier outputs so you can play quietly in phones or connect up and rock out. You can also connect your iPod or CD player and mix it in with the DM6's stereo input jack.
The DM6 Kit is fully compatible with Alesis SURGE Cymbals and acoustic-feel drum pads for easy upgrades.
The DM6 module has a metronome, an essential tool for keeping steady time whether you're practicing alone or with a band. The DM6 also has a built-in sequencer with 40 preset music tracks for play along.
A drumset is only as strong as its weakest link. The DM6 Kit mounts on a heavy-duty aluminum rack. The standard 1 1/2" tubing enables you to add on with Alesis and other brands' clamps and mounts. The kit also comes with a full set of mounting hardware and cables, as well as rugged kick drum and hi-hat pedals.
Also announced: the Alesis E-Practice Pad
Here's How To Become a better drummer! The Alesis E-Practice Pad is the fun way to learn and practice the drums. This electronic drum pad has 65 different drum sounds, a built-in metronome with six different sounds, and more than 50 practice games and exercises. The E-Practice Pad is way more fun than you can have with a standard practice pad. It feels great, it sounds great, and it gives you a full range of dynamics from the lightest touches through the loudest accents.
Just plug in your headphones and play silently or plug into an instrument amplifier or your stereo system and jam with other musicians. When you're not using the E-Practice Pad as a traditional practice tool, you can mount it on a standard cymbal stand or snare stand and use it on your drumset to expand your range of sounds.
Unlike a standard pad, the E-Practice Pad has an advanced metronome built in with six different sounds and the ability to play nearly any note value or subdivision in the time signature of your choice.

Guest post by Dave Coplin, Director for Bing UK, Microsoft.
We live in incredible times. Today, many of us walk around with more computing power in our pockets than used to sit on our desks just a few short years ago. We are more connected, more engaged and more in control of our lives than ever before and yet, incredible though it is to believe, we are still right at the very beginning of our society's journey with technology.
We have learned to love (or in some cases, tolerate) the power of social media and the increasingly real-time nature of our world. The power of the internet and mobile technology has enabled us to live with and access an incredible range of data, information and services that offer us the capability of augmenting all of our real-world experiences, joining the digital and analogue worlds together, in order to help us to become greater than the sum of our own parts.
There has been much discussion in the UK recently about the importance of getting the right approach to the role of technology in schools. Many have used this as the opportunity to reinforce the need for greater emphasis on the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) with further focus being given to the need to create a new generation of "kids who code". Whilst this on its own is an incredibly important initiative, it is vitally important to continue to remind ourselves that it is still just a subset of the overall duty of care we have as technologists to ensure that every single aspect of society is empowered by technology. Yes that means having great software, and as such brilliant computer scientists, but more importantly it means ensuring that every single member of society knows how to make the best use of technology whatever their societal role – this is our modern equivalent of a "PC on every desk".
Over the next twenty years, the increasingly connected nature of every action and every "thing", combined with technological developments like the incredible prevalence of screens, e-ink and display surfaces and natural interfaces (those that use a range of human interaction from typing and mechanical devices like the mouse through to more natural methods involving gestures, speech and even thought), will take us to a new level of reliance and integration of technology. However, there are still some crucial obstacles that remain in our way, blocking our ability to take advantage of the advances on offer.
Some of these challenges exist at a cultural level, with privacy being perhaps the most fundamental of all such sociological debates. However, often hidden beyond such issues are significant barriers pertaining to the spread of knowledge and literacy that, if left unheeded, weaken the very foundations of our society (and economy).
None of these challenges are new, in fact a great deal can be learnt from our past. As such, the four key challenges we face should be familiar:
- Helping others exploit the potential of access to unlimited knowledge
- Providing equality of access
- Curating the wisdom of others
- Preserving our knowledge heritage
Within our brave new digital world, one of the most important skills we must learn is "critical thinking" a concept that rather incredibly, dates back to Socrates over 2000 years ago, but after being "recently" updated in the 20th century for a modern society by many great scholars, it provides a powerful framework for our internet age as every single day we are bombarded by millions of signals of data, information and content, and the quantity of information we are exposed to grows exponentially. These days we are still looking for the needle, it's just that now it's in one of a billion haystacks.
Most of us use critical thinking every day and for most of the time, we are barely aware of it. Every time we read a newspaper article, watch a documentary or look something up on Wikipedia we are aware of a whole range of biases, influences and emotions that may interfere with the validity, accuracy and overall conclusion of the content and, if we're doing our job properly, we take all of that into account as we parse the information, reflect on it drawing in a range of other context and ultimately use it to draw conclusions and make decisions.
Fortunately for many of us, we've had years of practice and experimentation to get this right but in this new digital age, where children and young people have so much access to an incredible world of information but have yet to develop the skills to know how to deal with it becomes something we simply cannot take for granted.
From an early age, we need to ensure that anyone using the internet are able draw upon critical thinking skills to:
- Search efficiently and effectively – depending not solely on the search engine's view of relevancy but able to navigate and adjust the query to ensure the most appropriate results.
- Distinguish kinds of sources and analyse a source's validity and reliability – from basic differentiation of primary vs secondary sources through to deconstructing domain names and URL's to learn more context about the source.
- Make a habit of cross checking facts, even from reliable sources – we know from experience that even "authorities" can mislead and experts make mistakes so wherever possible there must be independent confirmation of the facts.
- Conscientiously and properly attribute the words and ideas of others – the internet has made plagiarism a lot easier, but thankfully, easier to spot. Students need to know the basic rules about when and how to quote others' words and how to properly attribute the ideas that are not their own.
- Stay safe on the internet – these are some of the most important skills of all, from not giving out personal information through to taking care about the kind of conversations they enter into on-line, staying safe is absolutely paramount
- Interact with others online honestly, respectfully, fairly and clearly – the anonymity, immediacy and lack of proximity presented by the internet can lead to anti-social behaviour, sometimes with devastating consequences. Learning how to speak honestly, fairly, and with respect, clarity and brevity along with understanding why this is important in a society, especially a democracy, is crucial.
Where we need help now is not in the squabbling on the frontline of the digital/analogue boundary debating about which tools we should be teaching but is instead around the core principles of extending knowledge and literacy in a modern society, ensuring that, like our ancestors before us, our greatest knowledge assets (both digital and analogue) do not succumb to the ravages of time; that people can find relevant information in a vast ocean of content – ultimately finding a needle in a billion haystacks; ensuring that our children and every other member of our society are equipped with the cognitive capability and skills that enable them to harness the incredible potential that technology brings us. It should not just be a case of feeding them with the basic tools that will become obsolete tomorrow, but instead teaching them to "fish" in a growing digital pool and ensuring that every single member of our society, regardless of location, background, skills and wealth, can benefit from all that is on offer.

GREENVILLE, S.C. � Elon University sent College of Charleston out of the Southern Conference Tournament by whipping the Cougars 18-8 in baseball Friday afternoon at Fluor Field.
It marked the last Southern Conference outing for College of Charleston, which is leaving the league to join the Colonial Athletic Association this summer.
Elon will follow the Cougars to the CAA in the summer of 2014, announcing that decision in a news conference on campus while the baseball game was taking place in an adjacent state.
Elon senior catcher Alex Swim produced four hits to tie for first place on the school�s all-time list for hits, while Sebastian Gomez drove in five runs as the third-seeded Phoenix (28-28) extended its season. Ryan Kinsella and Quinn Bower knocked in four runs each.
Elon, which will play another elimination game tonight against either Furman or Georgia Southern, won for only the third time in its last 11 postseason games.
Second-seeded College of Charleston (31-26) was eliminated from the conference tournament in the same round by Elon last year. The Cougars lost their last five Southern Conference Tournament games, becoming the first of the eight qualifying teams to be ousted this year.
It was a rough day for the Cougars because they played in the first game, losing 2-0 to seventh-seeded Georgia Southern in a matchup postponed by rain from Wednesday night.
Elon produced its second-most runs in a Southern Conference Tournament game, behind only a 21-run spree in 2008 against Wofford. All 26 runs in Thursday�s game were earned, as neither team committed an error.
Swim has 284 career hits, tying Brian Ingram�s mark set from 2000-03 with a single in the eighth inning.
Kinsella hit a tying three-run home run in the third inning, becoming the third player in school history to reach the 20-homer mark in a season.
Gomez followed with a go-ahead solo blast.
The Phoenix built on its 5-4 edge with an eight-run five innings, highlighted by Gomez�s three-run double shortly after Swim�s two-run single.
College of Charleston led 4-1 after two innings, with Carl Wise hitting two-run homers in each of the first two innings. Elon avoided additional damage when a would-be RBI single by Morgan Phillips in the first inning was negated for batting out of order.
Bower, Gomez and Casey Jones all had three hits for Elon.
Spencer Medick pitched 8 1/3 innings of relief after replacing Nate Young in the first inning. Medick improved to 7-6, giving him the most victories of any Elon pitcher this season.
College of Charleston starter Ryan West (4-3) took the loss.

Canaries say Bassong subjected to 'monkey' gesture at Liberty Stadium.
Norwich City revealed on Monday that they have filed four allegations of racist abuse towards their defender Sebastien Bassong to police.
A Swansea City supporter was released on bail on Sunday after being arrested for allegedly making racist gestures during his club's 4-3 loss at home to Norwich in the Premier League on Saturday.
The 23-year-old fan reportedly gesticulated at Cameroon international Bassong as Norwich celebrated their fourth goal.
Norwich say that the three other allegations concern racist messages sent to Bassong on Twitter following the match against Swansea and the 1-1 draw at Everton last month.
"Norwich City regrets to confirm four separate cases involving actual or alleged racist abuse aimed at our defender Sebastien Bassong have been reported to police in the last two weeks," said a club statement.
Police from South Wales and Norfolk are investigating the claims.

The Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) and the Global Forecast System (GFS)
creates analyses of many fields including the 2 meter temperature. The CFSR/GFS analyses
were used to create the growing degree days. The growing degree days is a factor
in the plant and pest development.
The CFSR uses a system very similar to those run by the National Weather Service to
produce the 1-6 day weather forecasts that you see on TV. (Other countries run
similar systems for their 1-6 day forecasts.) As part of producing a weather forecast,
an analysis of the current atmospheric state is created. This analysis is made
using data from satellites, aircraft, weather ballons and other sources but surprising no
2-meter temperature observations. The 2-m temperature is model derived product which
depends on the land-surface model, the model physics, the model parameterizations and the
analyses of the winds, temperatures and humidity at the model levels. There
are many reasons why the analyses will differ from observations. For example,
you make your temperature observation on a patch of grass and the model is using
a forest. (The land surface is suppose to be representative of the average conditions
in a 35x35 km grid box.) Yes, grass vs. forest can be a big difference. Another
problem is model uses the average height of the grid box. Your measurement will
be at a different elevation. An other problem is the model doesn't know the
local orography. You could be on an exposed peak or in a sheltered valley.
These features are not resolved within a 35-km grid used by the CFSR model.
One way to view the CFSR temperature is they are a model estimate of average
temperature of a 35km x 35km grid box. It will not give you the same
number as an observation.

The right ceiling fan can make all the difference in any room, providing cooling air flow and a touch of personality. While the fundamental design of ceiling fans is pretty consistent across the board, many fans incorporate unique designs and embellishments that breathe fresh life into this classic fixture. Ceiling fans must be hardwire installed and hung from your ceiling. Overstock.com recommends professional installation on anything that must be hardwired in your home.
Before you invest in a ceiling fan make sure you're ceiling is high enough to support it. An indoor fan shouldn't hang any lower than 7 feet from the floor. If your ceiling is lower than 9 feet, it's a good idea to choose a hugger-style fan that can be installed very close to the ceiling, while fans that include a downrod ensure lasting stability while suspended, and work excellent in rooms with while high or vaulted ceilings.
One fan is usually enough for most spaces in your home, but if you're dealing with a large family room or open concept area, you may want more than one for optimal cooling and air flow. As you consider the size of your room, also consider the size of your ceiling fan. A larger space will need a fan that's at least 34 inches in diameter, while a more confined area can be outfitted with a smaller, more efficient option. Ceiling fans are great indoors, but many are also rated for outdoor use in places like covered patios and porches. If you plan to install your fan outdoors, think about how you'd like the light and cooling air to affect your outdoor experience, and make sure you know how to keep it protected against the elements year-round.
One of the most important considerations when choosing a ceiling fan is how it will look in your home. While it's certainly a functional addition, the right ceiling fan can add plenty of eye-catching character to a room, and with hundreds of unique looks to choose from you can find just the right fan to match any home decor. Modern fans feature sleek lines and crisp colors, while rustic designs incorporate a raw material look with wood and iron accents. Fans designed for breezy seaside retreats often feature palm-leaf shaped blades, while industrial style fans incorporate accents like metal mesh encasements and simple spotlights. Most ceiling fans have a variety of light and speed settings, and purchasing a fan with a remote control makes it easy to adjust the brightness and speed without ever having to leave your chair.
If you need further help or information please visit our Online Help Center
Install a ceiling fan as a simple way to keep a room cool. You can lower your energy costs in the summer by running the ceiling fan alone or in conjunction with your air conditioning to make it more efficient. In addition to cooling, ceiling fans are a great way to add light to a room without needing extra space on a table or shelf like you would with a lamp. Many of these fans come with lights that switch on and off independently of the fan, allowing you to use either or both as desired. Overstock.com has a wide selection of ceiling fans to suit different types of decor. Choose a fan with wooden blades to complement a wood floor, or enjoy the more elegant look of a fan with a chandelier light fixture.

What kind of diet will help me lose weight?
Each individual is different. There is no universal diet that will help every person lose weight.
The idea of "going on a diet" to lose weight implies that eventually, you will "go off" the diet and return to your old eating habits. This could lead to up and down weight loss and gain, which is bad for your health. The best way to lose weight and keep it off is to make lifestyle changes that include healthy eating and exercise habits.
Why am I overweight?
There may be many reasons for your weight problem. Weight problems often run in families, or you may be overeating to comfort yourself when you are sad, stressed or lonely. Sometimes a low metabolism (the rate at which you burn the calories you eat) or a problem with hormone levels may be the cause.
A new diet may help you lose weight for a little while, but the weight often comes back unless you find new ways to deal with the problems that are leading to your weight gain. This may mean learning new ways to deal with stress and loneliness.
What kind of diet should I follow?
You should follow a healthy diet that you like and that you can stick to. The diet should be low in fats (especially saturated and trans fats) and sugars, and high in fiber and protein. You can learn more about making healthier food choices here.
Your doctor or a nutritionist can give you advice on what kinds of foods are healthy choices. Remember to watch portion sizes. A healthy portion of meat is about the size of a deck of cards. A healthy portion of rice or pasta is about the size of your fist. Most restaurants tend to double or even triple these amounts, so be careful when dining out.
Read the nutrition labels on food packages before you buy them. If you need help understanding the labels, ask your doctor or a nutritionist to explain them.
Sugar-sweetened drinks, such as fruit juice, fruit drinks, regular soft drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, sweetened or flavored milk and sweetened iced tea can add lots of sugar and calories to your diet. But staying hydrated is important for good health. Substitute water, zero-calorie flavored water, non-fat or reduced-fat milk, unsweetened tea or diet soda for sweetened drinks.
Will it be hard to change my diet?
It might be hard and it may also take time, but try not to get discouraged. Your effort will be worth it! The key is to keep trying to eat the right foods. The following are a few suggestions to help you change your eating habits:
Make small, slow changes, which will be easier to make a part of your everyday life.
Keep a food diary. Use this record to help you see if you need to eat more from any food groups, such as fruits, vegetables or low-fat dairy products.
Ask for help from your family doctor or a nutritionist, especially if you have a medical problem that requires a special diet

WILMINGTON, Mass. — Here's a plea to David Warsofsky's night-school history teacher, if he or she reads this blog.
Please excuse David from some of his homework responsibilities this weekend.
You see, David has a shot to someday play in the NHL, and part of that goal is attending the Bruins' development camp this weekend and working as hard as he can to improve and be ready for the defending Stanley Cup champions' main training camp in the fall.
Yes, Warsofsky recently left Boston University a year early to get on with his hockey career at the professional level. But he's still pursuing his degree and hopes to graduate by next summer. By then, he'll have had a full year of professional hockey experience and maybe even made a contribution to Boston's defense of the Cup title.
The road to achieving his dream of playing in the NHL started yesterday with the opening of the Bruins' fifth annual development camp at Ristuccia Arena. This is Warsofsky's second development camp with the Bruins since they acquired his rights from St. Louis at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Last summer he was coming off surgery for a sports hernia when he arrived at camp, so he was a little slow. But his health isn't the only difference this year.
"I think this year it's a lot different because I'm under contract and I'm signed. I think I'm trying to make a statement at this point too so I can better myself going into rookie camp and training camp," he explained after today's double on-ice session. "But I'm just trying to improve every day – just keep things simple and play my game."
Warsofsky's game is anything but simple. Such is the life of a player trying to make it at the sport's highest level while generously listed at 5-foot-9, 170 pounds. He has to work extra hard to contribute and make a name for himself for something other than his size.
"I like to be offensive," said Warsofsky, who put up 68 points in 113 career games at BU. "I think I'm pretty creative with the puck, so I don't want to always be known as that guy that's too small. I just try to put that [offensive skill] in my back pocket and use that over everything else."
Bruins assistant general manager Don Sweeney skated in more than 1,100 NHL games and produced more than 600 points. So that Warsofsky has him around should be a benefit.
"With his skill set, he's got to move the puck, his power-play skills, that might not completely translate in this environment [of development camp]," said Sweeney. "You know sometimes it's a little 'scrambly' and kids are playing out of position and whatever. But you know, from an overall skill, when the puck settles down on his stick, you'll realize what he brings to the table. I think it was real important for David to get into Providence last year and understand that, I guess I'll speak from experience, that size is going to present a challenge to him. He knows that. He's only played at this size so that's a good thing in terms of where he's standing, because he'll look at it and say, 'what do I have to compare it to?'
"But the thinking part of the game and understanding body position, things that you'd get away with maybe at the other levels you do not get away with at the pro level. And he needs to understand that and go to work on it. I think he's been going through the conversations, going back over the conversations we've had. You know, we're excited that he's accepting that as well as what he does bring to the table from an offensive, puck moving, and the way he thinks of the game."
The Bruins should provide Warsofsky with the proper environment and tutelage to maximize his playing potential. He might need an excuse note to get out of class this weekend, but there will be no excuses once hockey season rolls around.
He sounds ready to do whatever it takes to develop.
"I'm young and I have a lot of learning to do," he said. "If I do go down to Providence, that's not bad. I think it's an unbelievable opportunity down there and I'll just try to improve down there and work my way up."

Homeschooling is the single fastest growing educational trend in the United States and Mardel has watched more and more parents decide to take on the personal responsibility of educating their children. As the number of homeschool families has grown, so has our company and today, we have partnered with leading experts in homeschool education to provide you with the Mardel Homeschool Resource Center.
Learn how to assess your child's learning style with the Student Learning Style Assessment. Determine a suitable teaching method with the Teaching Method Assessment. Select the most effective homeschool curriculum available to suit your child's needs with the Curriculum Explorer. Review your State's Homeschool Regulations.
While pioneer homeschoolers managed to educate their children on lonely farms in obscure places using bootleg curriculum harvested from public school trash bins, today's homeschoolers enjoy a richer educational climate than ever before. We can successfully homeschool our children because of the three C's – Calling, Community, and Curriculum.Read More
Many times a child who appears to have great difficulty with focusing and attending to a task is really struggling with a sensory processing problem. The child's sensory system is not functioning correctly, resulting in errant signals. An example of this would be a malfunctioning sensory system that shouts 'pain,' when a tag on a shirt touches the skin. Another example is when a child covers his ears at fairly minor unexpected sounds, because the sensory system is giving the errant signal that the sound is too loud. This child is not just distracted by their outside environment, but is distracted by their inside environment as well.Read More
You may have noticed that your children have totally different learning styles. Your left brain child tends to like workbooks and working on their own. The right-brainer, on the other hand, likes discussion, prefers projects to workbooks and tends to be a little higher maintenance during the school day, requiring more of your interaction time.Since most curriculum teaches in a more left brain manner, focusing on auditory and sequential aspects, as well as writing, our children who are more right brain learners often feel left out, and even struggle with learning and retaining material using this same curriculum. Once we have identified the right-brainer who is struggling because they are stuck in a left brain curriculum, then we can tweak our teaching process to help these right brain children get in touch with the 'smart part of themselves.'Read More

Congress returned to "work" this week (now there's a laugh) to complete its lame-duck session before taking another holiday. Spending other people's money is a taxing experience.
Their task is to avoid the "fiscal cliff," a geological construct of their own making. It doesn't take a genius to predict both parties will try to do two things: (1) reach an agreement that will allow each side to take some credit and (2) require those who work for a living to pay government more while they come up with phony, or inconsequential spending "cuts."
Whatever they do, payroll taxes are going up Jan. 1 and new taxes associated with Obamacare will soon follow. It is beyond argument that additional revenue isn't the solution to the problem of uncontrolled spending.
Absent reforms, the U.S. Senate Budget Committee predicts the federal government could be $20 trillion in debt by 2016. Clearly, it's not lack of revenue that is driving the debt; it is lack of spending restraint. How much more should we subsidize government irresponsibility? If the answer is "not another dime" perhaps the time has come for a taxpayer revolt.
In 1978, the late Howard Jarvis and his wife led a successful drive to put Proposition 13 on the California ballot. The measure, which was overwhelmingly approved by voters, limited rapidly rising property taxes. According to the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Association website, Proposition 13 "has saved Californians $400 billion and allowed millions of Californians to keep their homes."
What is needed is a leader with the determination of Howard Jarvis who can organize nationally to keep government from constantly pilfering the assets of the productive so politicians can subsidize the unproductive, buy their votes and addict them to entitlements.
As long as taxpayers continue to acquiesce to the politicians in their never-ending search for more revenue, they will keep taking it, all the while attacking "millionaires and billionaires" for not paying their "fair share."
America was birthed during a tax revolt. Expecting politicians to fix a problem of their own making rarely succeeds. Maybe it's time to force the issue by having taxpayers go on strike. Does anyone have a better idea? If so, send it to me. I eagerly await all legal and credible suggestions.

FANTASY: What Happens in Vegas...
Kobalt Tools 400 Fantasy Preview
Social media really put an end to the age-old phrase that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Nowadays, what happens in Vegas will be posted to Facebook and uploaded to YouTube long before anyone begins to piece together a night of debauchery.
Not that it really has anything to do with predicting who will win the race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, but I'm sure I can find a way to make my peeve of the week relevant.
See, while the social media craze has destroyed the secrets of the Desert Destination and worn off its once mysterious allure, we race fans don't need to be disappointed. In the case of LVMS, it doesn't hold any weird secrets that are just now being revealed. The 1.5-mile, D-shaped oval serves as one of the stereotypical "cookie-cutters" of the Sprint Cup Series.
That's not to suggest there's anything wrong with the track. Like rolling the dice at a Vegas craps table, NASCAR races are inevitably some sort of mix of good and bad luck, combined with intelligence. But, the cookie-cutter shape at least makes it more predictable for a struggling fantasy owner (and shamed "expert") to figure out which drivers should put up strong finishes.
One might even say, if s/he were really stretching for an analogy, that the predictable formula falls in line with the stereotypical trip to Vegas. Sure, you might end up waking up on the living room floor with a missing tooth and Mike Tyson's tiger in your bathroom, but for the most part, you know what to expect. Seriously? I bet you can't find a single female Facebook friend that visited Vegas without posting a picture of her sitting beside the pool at 11 a.m. with oversized aviators, a smile that says "I can't believe I'm still partying" and a fruity drink with the caption: "Mimosas!!! :)"
It's tends to be predictable, and so do races on cookie cutter tracks. (Did you follow that path of logic? I know I barely did.)
Here are this week's Yahoo Fantasy Auto Racing Start 'Em and Park 'Em suggestions for the week.
Strategy: If you didn't stay on what ended up being a winding, country road of logic above, I'll simplify it. There are a certain core group of drivers that tend to do well on cookie cutter tracks, so stick to those drivers. You're unlikely to make any huge gains on the competition, but like Kyle Busch, who gives away most Chases on tracks like these, you certainly can lose ground if you stray from the course.
#11 Denny Hamlin - He's racing very well right now, and usually these cookie-cutters are good tracks on which to keep momentum going. His 79.8 driver rating at LVMS isn't anything great, but Yahoo only scores at the end of the race. He has four top-10s in six starts and a solid 11.7 average finish ranks third on the A-List (just below the following two drivers).
#48 Jimmie Johnson - Last week, I said to park him, but that was before I realized that Chad Knaus would remain on top of the pit box. (Silly me for thinking that the appeals process would be timely...and upheld.) Johnson's 116.4 driver rating is quite impressive at this track (second to only Jeff Gordon) and his 10.6 average finish tops the field. Johnson won five-consecutive Chases thanks to dominating tracks just like this one.
#99 Carl Edwards - Edwards has two wins, including last year, in seven starts at LVMS. His 11.0 average finish places him behind just Johnson and Jeff Burton. His nickname unofficially went from "Cousin Carl" to "Consistent Carl" last year, and consistency is a great attribute to have on a track like this one.
#18 Kyle Busch - If you read the Strategy, you'll realize I don't like Busch on the cookie cutters in general. These races are won by sticking to a formula and Kyle's a guy that likes doing things his own way. It's his home track, so he usually has incentive to do well and has won a race here, but an average 15.0 finish isn't anything special for the A-List.
#5 Kasey Kahne - My intuition says that I should wait on Kahne to get rolling before using up his nine starts, as he should definitely be a B-List commodity with Hendrick Motorsports. However, my intuition so far has landed me in 497th place out of 589 "Fans of NHMS" players. He has four top-10s in eight starts and his two poles could be a nice appetizer of bonus points to start the week.
#16 Greg Biffle - The No. 16 team is putting everything together that fell apart last year. "The Biff" now has two third-place finishes in the opening two races, and, as I said about Hamlin, cookie cutter tracks are great for helping you stay on a roll.
#31 Jeff Burton - Burton's 10.7 average finish at LVMS is second only to Johnson's 10.6. It was too bad his engine overheated last week (especially since I played him), but he was putting up a good race before that. Like Biffle, he seems to be revived after a tough 2011.
#55 Mark Martin - Any thoughts that Martin wouldn't be able to compete in a new third car out of Michael Waltrip Racing have gone by the wayside. In fact, he looks better now than he has for Hendrick the past couple seasons. He has 10 top-10s in 14 Las Vegas starts and an average finish of 13.0, so there's reason to believe he stays the course this weekend.
#22 AJ Allmendinger - Like Kahne, he hasn't really seemed to have adapted to the new team yet. He'll definitely be a good option once he gets going, but his best finish at LVMS is 19th, so don't expect a breakout in Nevada.
#88 Dale Earnhardt Jr. - Junior has just five top-10s in 12 starts and an average finish of 16.8 at Vegas. This would be a better week to look elsewhere, as you'll probably want to maximize all nine of his starts.
#43 Aric Almirola - As Almirola continues to ascend his way to the top of the C-List, the question will be when to use one of his nine starts and when to park him for someone comparable. The good news is that you should be able to expect a respectable finish this weekend; the caution is that it's also an easier week to predict if another C-Lister might match him.
#47 Bobby Labonte - Labonte is an impressive 11th in the standings right now and has four top-fives in 14 LVMS starts. This is as good of a weekend as any to take a chance on him.
#34 David Ragan - Ragan couldn't do much about getting swept up in a Lap 2 wreck at Daytona, but he just didn't look like he could do much, period, in Phoenix. It's unlikely he'll re-emerge as a C-List stud like 2011 and will probably end up as just another one of the Davids in the group (Blaney, Gilliland, Stremme, Reuitmann, none of them will command many starts).
The picks in this blog are based around Yahoo's Fantasy Auto Racing game and its standard scoring rules. The preview is designed to provide suggestions, while still encouraging managers to make their own decisions. Once sorted into Yahoo's A, B and C-Lists, they are organized based on car number and not directly associated with a rank value.

Bring an ornament, poem, special message, etc. to remember a loved one or friend lost to suicide.
The Remember Me Tree had such a positive impact during its first year last December at RBJ's Restaurant that it's back again. Everyone is welcome to adorn the tree with an ornament, poem or special message in remembrance of a lost loved one to suicide.
The tree will be up through Jan. 2.
"The tree is to help those get through the holidays and let them know that they are not alone," Brenda Brummond told the Times, adding that there is a similar Remember Me Tree at the Italian Moon restaurant in Grand Forks.
The Remember Me Tree also has a Facebook page, Brummond said, at facebook.com/update_security_info.php?wizard=1#!/Remembermetreegf.
If you'd like more information on the Remember Me Tree, drop an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Proposed Canon
Jetstone is a side in Erfworld ruled by King Slately. Jetstone currently has no HeirLIAB 35; its most recent Chief Warlord was Prince Ossomer. A new Heir is scheduled to be poped in 16 turns, in 91 A.W.. However, if Spacerock falls to Gobwin Knob during that time, this Heir may be aborted.
Jetstone is also the name of a Tribe. Slately and his sons are members of this Tribe.
Marbits and Altruist Elves were natural allies of Jetstone, until Jetstone was forced by lack of funds to release them after the destruction of Jetstone's army during the Battle of Gobwin Knob.
Jetstone is a Royal Capital Side, producing human Units, including Nobles and Royals.
Jetstone was the founding Side and a leading faction in the first Royal Crown Coalition, providing the largest contingent of troops to the Alliance.
During the Battle for Gobwin Knob, its troops were led by Prince Ansom, then Chief Warlord and heir to the throne: Prince Ansom fell in the battle.
The Capital of Jetstone is Spacerock.
- Spacerock - Capital
- Dhrystone - Level 5
- Jetstone - Original Capital
- Bridgestone
- Firestone
- Rollingstone
- Penistone
- Pantstown - Level 1
Jetstone is described as having three level 5 cities, of which one is Dhrystone and another is the Capital Spacerock. Jetstone also still controls the Capital site upon which the city of Jetstone was built and the Side of Jetstone founded.
Former Cities
- Orgchart - Lost to Gobwin Knob.
- Brookstone (presumably) - Lost to Gobwin Knob.
- Progrock (presumably) - Lost to Gobwin Knob.
Former Characters
- Prince Ansom - Former Chief Warlord and Heir (croaked), now decrypted and part of the Gobwin Knob Side
- Prince Ossomer - former Chief Warlord, now decrypted and part of the Gobwin Knob Side
- Adam Antium - Warlord, croaked by arrows in the atrium, decrypted by Wanda
- Sir Webinar - croaked Warlord, uncroaked by Wanda, and destroyed by Archons
- Dora - croaked Warlord, uncroaked by Wanda, and destroyed by Archons
Current Characters
- King Slately - Ruler, King
- Prince Tramennis - older brother of Prince Ossomer, new Chief Warlord after Ossomer
- Cubbins - Hat Magician
- Pierce - Healomancer
- Ace Hardware - Dollamancer
- Lloyd - Dittomancer
- Duke Lacrosse
- Captain Price
- Gumps

Livery worn by infantry and warlords is yellow-brown (light brown shirts and pants with yellow armor) with the Jetstone insignia (a radish) on the chest.
Main article: Erfworld Geography
Jetstone shares borders with Unaroyal and Haggar. Jetstone's directional location relative to other Sides is not known.
Real World References
The name "Jetstone" seems to be a portmanteau of the names of the Hanna-Barbera cartoons The Jetsons and The Flintstones. King Slately's name is an amalgamation of the names of the bosses on the two shows, Mr. Spacely (Jetsons) and Mr. Slate (Flintstones). The capital, Spacerock, is named according to the themes on the two shows, and may be an amalgamation of the workplaces of the two main characters -- Fred Flintstone's the Slate Rock and Gravel Company with George Jetson's Spacely Space Sprockets. (Fred lived in Bedrock, but George lived in Orbit City.)
The radishes that are the symbol of Jetstone are reminiscent of those from Super Mario Brothers 2.

As we finish the year and you begin to plan your visits to The Genealogy Center, please remember that our copiers no longer accept coins. Our copiers and our computer printers use a card based system wherein you place money on the card, then the system uses the funds as you make your copies. The system will only accept bills ($1s, $5s, $10s). Researchers have arrived in recent weeks with pockets and purses loaded with coins, resulting is frustration and wasted time as they have to go somewhere to change the coins into bills. So remember to bring bills for your copying.
And remember to bring a UBS drive as well. Often, the images on our computers are more readable (as well as cheaper) as an electronic copy rather than paper. You may also want to save digital images from books, instead of paper copies, as there is no cost to scan images.
Whether at The Genealogy Center or another research center, a call or quick email before you visit may provide basic information about the facility.
