Steve Chabot's self-righteous attempt to block federal
streetcar funding found new criticism yesterday, as The Enquirer spoke to
several credible sources who say his amendment is broad enough to affect
federal funding for transportation projects beyond the streetcar,
including bus lanes or ferries.
Mayor Mark Mallory and 3CDC representatives were scheduled to kick off a grand opening celebration of Washington Park at 10 a.m. this morning. The $48 million renovation includes an underground parking garage, concession building, dog park and concert space. A rally against the renovation and displacement of residents was scheduled for 10:30 a.m. CityBeat's Mike Breen blogged away yesterday about the park's scheduled weekly music series.

I have given much thought to Richard Stoecker's letter ("Vote for Mormon against beliefs," June 15). I am also a Christian and differ with the Mormon religion.
But I think any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon.
Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney's opponent, Barack Hussein Obama — a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.
I hope all Christians give their vote prayerful consideration because voting is a sacred privilege and a serious responsibility.

Rep. Alicia Reece, D-Cincinnati, sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday asking him to send federal elections monitors to watch over polling in Ohio this November.
Reece's letter points to what she calls potential voter confusion resulting from two federal court decisions over provisional ballots and in-person early voting — decisions that have been appealed by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted.
"We need to ensure that Ohio has a smooth and fair election this November," Reece wrote in an emailed statement.
"These two federal court decisions are a step in the right direction for voters in Ohio, but the appeals processes are confusing for voters. The presence of federal elections monitors will help restore the integrity of the voting process. The entire country is looking at Ohio."
The first court decision ruled that county boards of elections must count certain defective ballots if the mistakes were caused by poll worker error. U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley ordered Husted to issue provisional ballot envelopes with a checklist for poll workers to follow.
Husted has argued that allowing those ballots to be counted conflicts with existing Ohio law that does not allow defective provisional ballots to be counted.
The second court decision required Husted to allow in-person early voting for the three days leading up to the Nov. 6 election.
Husted had issued a directive to all 88 Ohio counties to not allow voting on those days, and then ordered county boards to suspend in-person early voting while he appealed the court's ruling. He rescinded that order after the judge ordered him to appear in court in regards to the directive.
Reece was joined by area clergy and community leaders to announce the letter in a Wednesday morning news conference.
Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman is again campaigning in Ohio for President Barack Obama, but this time over the Internet.
In an ad targeting the Buckeye State and set to be released online, Portman talks about her family's Cincinnati roots and calls Ohio a crucial place for the election.
Portman visited Cincinnati Sept. 19 for the Obama campaign's Women's Summit, where she talked about how she thought the president's policies — which include health care coverage for preventive care such as mammograms and birth control — were better for women than those of his opponent, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
"I think this election is particularly important because
we are really facing a difference in ideas," Portman said in the new ad, made available to CityBeat.
"Sometimes the candidates are the same and sometimes they've got really different points of view, and in this case you've got President Obama, who's been really, really fighting for women's rights," she said, citing Obama's signing of the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the provisions of the Affordable Care Act targeted toward women's health. "Romney wants to roll those achievements back."
The video is the latest in the campaign's "How We Win" series, the first of which featured Ohio native John Legend.

The second day of the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse trial continues today, with a second accuser expected to testify. In his opening statement, Sandusky's lawyer questioned the credibility of the eight young men accusing him of multiple crimes over several years, claiming that they have a financial motive to make false claims. He also acknowledged that Sandusky's behavior and his showering with young boys was "kind of strange" but said it was not sexual abuse.
Mitt Romney says Barack Obama's "Forward" slogan is absurd. And so is the notion that he wants to reduce the number of police, firefighters and teachers. Absurdity.
The LA Times says Obama's complicated message will pose a challenge to convey, especially against Romney's simple argument: Y'all mad and it's Obama's fault.
Obama's counter-argument is layered with nuance and complexity.
It starts with an attempt to undercut Romney. As a corporate buyout executive, Romney shipped jobs overseas and reaped millions of dollars in fees from takeover deals that destroyed U.S. factory jobs, the Obama campaign says. As Massachusetts governor, Romney built a poor record on job creation, the argument continues.
Turning to his own record, Obama tells voters that he inherited an economy on the brink of collapse and averted a depression. He takes credit for a resurgence in manufacturing, the rescue of the automobile industry and the creation of more than 4 million jobs since February 2010.
Obama also slams Republicans in Congress for blocking his plans to stimulate more jobs. To inoculate himself from potential setbacks over the summer and fall, he warns of economic trouble spilling over from Europe.
In the end, Obama says, he would keep the country moving forward while Romney would take it back to the George W. Bush policies that wrecked the economy in the first place.

Much to the dismay one of Romney's surrogates, CNN's Soledad O'Brien called out the Romney campaign for propagating an impossible budget and spreading lies about Obamacare. John Sununu, who was on O'Brien's show on behalf of Romney, did not appreciate the lecture in reality, and he said O'Brien should wear an Obama bumper sticker on her forehead. Unfortunately for Sununu and the rest of the Romney team, it is true that Obamacare does not cut Medicare benefits to seniors, and it's also true Romney's plan is impossible without similar cuts to entitlement programs.

President Barack Obama won over Mitt Romney in what can only be called an electoral college landslide. He won every single "battleground state" on CNN's electoral map with the current exception of Florida, although the current lead and remaining demographics to be counted will likely tilt Florida to Obama. Despite the insistence of conservatives and mainstream media pundits, models like FiveThirtyEight that predicted a big Obama win were entirely accurate.
In the U.S. Senate race, Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown also handily won over Republican challenger Josh Mandel. CityBeat covered the policy and campaign differences between the two candidates in coverage of the first, second and third debate and a cover story.
For the First U.S. Congressional District, Republican incumbent Steve Chabot beat Democratic challenger Jeff Sinnard.
The big takeaway from election night at a federal level: Billions of dollars spent on campaigns later, the U.S. House of Representatives remains in Republican hands, the U.S. Senate remains in Democratic hands and the White House remains in Democratic hands. In other words, billions of dollars were spent to change almost nothing.
At the state level, Issue 1, which called for a constitutional convention, lost. But Issue 2, which was an attempt at redistricting reform, lost as well. CityBeat covered the rise and details of Issue 2 in a story and commentary.

Republican Louis Blessing beat Democrat Hubert Brown for the 29th district of the Ohio House. Republican Lou Terhar beat Democrat Steven Newsome for the 30th district of the Ohio House. Democrat Denise Driehaus beat Republican Michael Gabbard for the 31st district of the Ohio House. Democrat Dale Mallory beat Republican Ron Mosby for the 32nd district of the Ohio House. Democrat Alicia Reece beat Republican Tom Bryan for the 33rd district of the Ohio House.
For the Ohio Supreme Court, Republican Terrence O'Donnell kept his seat against Mike Skindell. But Democrat William O'Neill beat Republican incumbent Robert Cupp, and Republican Sharon Kennedy beat Democratic incumbent Yvette Brown.
At the local level, Issue 4, which gives City Council four-year terms, was approved. Issue 42, which renewed a tax levy for Cincinnati Public Schools, passed. Issue 50, a tax levy for senior health services, was approved. Issue 51, a tax levy for mental health services, was approved.
In Hamilton County offices, things got a bit more blue overall. Republican incumbent Joe Deters beat Democrat Janaya Trotter for the prosecutor attorney's office. Democrat Pam Thomas beat Republican incumbent Tracy Winkler for the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas. Democrat Jim Neil beat Republican Sean Donovan for the sheriff's office. Democratic incumbent Wayne Coates beat Republican Wayne Lippert for the county recorder's office. Republican incumbent Robert Goering barely beat Democrat Jeff Cramerding for the county treasurer's office. Democratic incumbent Lakshmi Sammarco beat Republican Pete Kambelos for the county coroner's office.

In other states, gay marriage and marijuana were legalized. Minnesota voted against a same-sex marriage ban. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin also became the first openly gay candidate to win election for the U.S. Senate. Overall, the night was a big win for progressives all around the country.
The Cincinnati Enquirer did not have a smooth Election Day. The Enquirer mistakenly published false early voting results, and the fake results were picked up by a conservative news reporting website. Providing voting results before polls close is typically frowned upon in media circles to avoid discouraging voters with potentially disappointing numbers.

CREDO Action Campaign Manager Josh Nelson told CityBeat that the group emailed the petition with 4,021 signatures to the Department of Labor Wednesday morning.
The petition reads: "Requiring employees to attend a Mitt Romney political rally without pay is totally unacceptable. I urge you to conduct a thorough investigation to determine whether Murray Energy violated any federal laws on August 14th, and to hold it fully accountable if it did."
Romney appeared at the event to attack what he called President Barack Obama's "war on coal." He was flanked on stage by hundreds of miners with soot-stained faces.
Dozens of those miners told WWVA-AM West Virginia talk show host David Blomquist that they were pulled from the mine before their shift was over and not paid for the full day of work. The miners, who Blomquist did not identify, said they were told that attendance at the rally was mandatory.
Murray Energy Chief Financial Officer Rob Moore told Blomquist on his radio show that managers "communicated to our workforce that the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory, but no one was forced to attend."
He said that people who did not show up to the event, which organizers say drew 1,500 miners and family members, were not penalized for their absence.
"Forcing Ohio workers to participate in a political rally is unacceptable, so we're joining our friends at SEIU in calling on the U.S. Department of Labor to conduct an investigation to determine whether or not any federal laws were broken," Nelson wrote in an email to CREDO Action's Ohio activists on Sept. 1.
A spokeswoman for the Labor Department was not immediately able to confirm whether the department had received the petition or planned to launch an investigation.
This post will be updated with comment from the Labor Department when it becomes available.
It was "Rich People Voice Their Concerns Night" at city councils across town last night, as proponents of the $1 sale of Music Hall packed Cincinnati City Council chambers even though the proposed lease deal wasn't on the agenda. Mayor Mark Mallory insisted that any middle ground that will allow the nonprofit Music Hall Revitalization Co. to renovate the building will require that the city retain ownership.
Across town (and about 10 miles northeast toward the area with mass trees), Madeira City Council shot down a plan to develop a luxury apartment complex on Camargo Road. Council voted 6-1 to scrap the plan for a 184-unit complex after residents who voiced concern said the complex would be "too dense" and take away from the city's single-family character. Word on the street is that the Council majority didn't want scumbag renters like this guy to be able to move into the neighborhood and start playing music really loud out of their car stereos.
Cincinnati City Council yesterday pretty much canceled its plans to build an atrium at City Hall. Six council members approved a motion asking administrators to shut it down, and City Manager Milton Dohoney says he'll abide by it even though he technically doesn't have to because the funding was approved in a spending ordinance.
Council also voted yesterday to keep the property tax rate pretty much the same next year despite a projected deficit.

text: So I have a question Quinn. Do you believe in a gradual creation by God. I have heard of people who believe that and at least that shows that they are trying to reconcile their beliefs with what the evidence shows. Is that how you explain the FACTS that in the deepest rock formation from some 3.6 billion years they find fossilized remains of the most primitive single celled organisms. Then about half a billion years later evidence of photosynthesis having developed, then another billion years later fossilized evidence of somewhat more complex single celled organisms, then about a billion years later fossilized evidence of the most primitive muticellular organisms, then about 400 million years later the Cambrian explosion with many sea life animals appearing then about 150 million years later the very first terrestrial plant life, then about 100 million years later the first amphibians develop, then about 40 million years later the first reptiles, then about 90 million years later the first mammals and then about 214 million years later around 500000 years ago the first homosapiens. That is what we know as fact because it is immorialized within the fossil record. If you believe in a gradual period of creation, you are consistent with many who at least make an effort to reconcile their need to accept the Bible as literal in a sense and the actual evidential facts of the real world. <O</O

What a way to kick of the 25th Summer Slam with The Five Time Five Time Five Time World Heavyweight Champion Booker T who announces that lots of changes are going to take place starting tonight and about the fact that a lot of wrestlers were left off the show and that doesn't sit well him so he announces a 8 man tag team match where the person who gets pinned will get a surprise I wonder what that will be?
Next we see The teams of Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre & Tensai go up against Tyson Kidd, Alex Riley, Sin Cara & Justin Gabriel which would be an awesome match. After a hard hitting/ high flying match with Kidd getting the win after Tensai has laid Gabriel out with a chokebomb and goes for a running senton but Kidd nails a running dropkick mid move and covers Tensai for the pin.
After the match
An Angry Tensai recovers and attacks Kidd and lays him out with a chokebomb after which the General Manager Booker.T comes back out and tells Tensai to stop but instead of stopping Tensai hits Kidd with a Running Senton. Booker tells Tensai to stop because he has something to tell him and this grabs Tensai's attention. Booker says since you got pinned I have three words for you
Tensai now pissed turns right into a Springboard Dropkick from Tyson Kidd
And Kidd heads to the back as security comes down and escorts Tensai from the building as the crowd sing him out of the building.
Interesting first segment/ match
The commentators comment on how brave Kidd acted just now I have to agree shame for Tensai to have been fired because you could have had a feud between the two with Kidd coming out on top oh well
Next we have Damian Sandow going one on one with Brodus Clay
Which ends with Brodus's anger getting in the way of a victory via the ref taking his chair away and Sandow hitting a low blow for a cheap victory is this end or just the beginning?
Backstage we see the lovely Aksana talking to a mystery man who turns out to be non-other than Kassius Ohno. Aksana flirts with Ohno which includes her asking him out on a date and they share a kiss but oh no for Ohno because here comes
Aksana's boyfriend Antonio Ceasaro comes up and asks Aksana what she thinks she is doing. And she replies that Ohno came onto her first which Ceasaro is having none of which leads to a stare down between himself and Ohno before we head back to the ring.
Awesome job here mate this feud is coming along nicely
Next we the Viper clash with the Master of the 619!!!
And after a back to back hard fought match between these two even with Orton hitting the RKO but it wasn't enough because he gloated instead of going for the pin and it cost him because Rey Rey got the better of him and rolled him up for the win.
After the match Rey celebrates his win but when he turns around he is decked with a RKO and as Rey slowly gets up Orton decks him with the brutal punt.
Question: Is this the end for Rey and is it the start of a heel turn for the Viper?
Advice: I think you should've added a backstage segment here just some advice
Next we have a recap video of the Cesaro V Marella feud nice touch
Cesaro is still pissed at Aksana which is fair enough
Back to the match Cesaro comes out on top via the Swiss Death which not only gets him the victory but the U.S Championship bravo man good job here.
After the match
Cesaro celebrates his victory and Aksana comes into join the celebrations but wait a minute Cesaro pushes her away and gets a microphone.
He says that she is nothing but a cheating peasant and he doesn't need her anymore because he has got the fans on his side which causes
her to break down in tears but suddenly
Kassius Ohno blindsides Cesaro and beats him down while Aksana starts to laugh then Ohno grabs the U.S Championship and drops it on Cesaro then makes out with Aksana before they head to the back.
Backstage Daniel Bryan tries to bully Booker into calling off his match with Kane which doesn't end to well and DB puts his hands on his GM that isn't going to sit well
Back to the ring
We see the diva's champion the beautiful Layla make her way down to the ring for her match when her challenger the Pin Up Powerhouse Beth Phoenix attacks her on the ramp and throws hers into the ring.
Which leads to Phoenix dominating Layla throughout their match and it also secures her the victory and the championship via a Glam Slam.
After the match Phoenix lays Layla out with another Glam Slam
Phoenix is dominance personified when it comes to women wrestlers
Backstage we see the PTPs with their manager AW discussing tactics for their tag championship match interesting
Back to the ring
Kane heads out to the ring
Next DB heads out to the ring
After a back and forth match which sees both men in control.
Kane has DB up for a Chokeslam but DB is able to reverses it into a Double Knee Facebreaker which leads to the pin and victory for DB.
After the match DB does his usual back and forth banter with the WWE Fans but then has a change of heart and chants along with them instead of against him. Nice touch
He then heads back into the ring and chants Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But when he turns around Kane lays him out with a chokeslam then leaves as the EMT's come to help DB.
Nice to see DB become a heart favourite again and great dominance shown by Kane
Is this the end or beginning between the two?
Again a backstage segment would be good to break the matches up a bit just a suggestion
In the next encounter it's a triple threat for the tag championships between three awesome tag teams the champs Boom Truth, The Colon's and The Prime Time Players.
From start to finish this match was absolutely chaos with each team being in control which saw signature and finishers being hit ending in O'Neil and Young getting the win with Titus puts Truth in a backbreaker hold as Young climbs to the top rope and hits a diving elbow onto Truth and Titus covers him and pins him to gain the victory and the championships. I like this I wonder who they will feud with?
But interestingly enough after the match R Truth goes absolutely goes batshit crazy or more so than usual and attacks Lil Jimmy and yells that he is a bad boy and he hates him. Kofi tries to carm Truth down but instead gets laid out with a Shut Up!!! For his troubles and Truth leaves as the EMTs take Kofi away and the PTP return to the ring and celebrate their win when
CRYME TYME makes their way out to the ring with a box and a microphone in hand interesting
Shad says that the PTP can continue the celebration because we don't mind and JTG chimes in with it doesn't matter to them that the PTP are celebrating because they are out here to sell their precious gold. The PTPs go apeshit as Cryme Tyme swap their gold for cash the PTPs get out of the ring and run up the ramp attack Cryme Tyme but Cryme Tyme fight back with CT coming out on top
Backstage we see The Straight Edge Saviour is warming up for his triple threat championship tonight
Then we are treated to a highlight video for the feud between Y2J & The Show Off
Back to the ring
Y2J V The Show Off (this is a match I want to see in real life)
In an awesome match with two top wrestlers of the WWE one being an established star (Jericho) and an up incoming star (Ziggler) that included signatures, finishers, near falls. It all comes to a finish with The Show off Dolph Ziggler coming out on top which in my opinion was the right decision.
After which Ziggler delivers a promo on Jericho which does raise a question and that is
Is Jericho losing his touch and where does he go to now?
Backstage Big Show is preparing for his championship match and Todd Grisham tries to interview him but Show tells him to buzz off because he doesn't have time to answer questions and then punches a punching bag off its chain.
This was a great way to show off Show's power but in future you might want to put more into interviews.
Next we see a highlight video highlighting the feud between World Champion Sheamus and challenger Alberto Del Rio.
In the match for the World Championship it is a blockbuster of a championship match with the Hardcore Hooligan retaining the championship via a Brogue Kick. After having a brawl with Del Rio
I want this feud to continue but add people maybe
We go backstage to see The Miz heading to the ring
Then The Instant Classic makes his way out to the ring
In a match that would be an instantly awesome match between Christian and the Miz we see Miz retain by getting out of the way from a spear which instead sends Christian into the corner and when he comes out Miz nails the SKF to win the match and retain the championship nice job.
I wonder who the Awesome One will defend his championship against next only time will tell
As Miz heads to the back we see a highlight video recapping the events between Punk, Cena & Show which have lead us to the match tonight.
Next we see The Straight Edge Saviour retain his championship in an epic encounter between three of the biggest stars in the WWE right now. I liked this match and all your matches because you let everyone have a chance to shine which is awesome.
Punk earns the victory in an impressive fashion by hitting the GTS on the world's largest athlete not an easy thing to do.
Punk makes an impact after the match by laying out both Cena and Show with another GTS apiece
Excellent Work
And to end what has been a truly awesome show we see an epically brutal no holds barred encounter between the Game and the MMA madman Brock Lesnar. With Lesnar getting the victory via referee stoppage. Which has me asking the question is this end the end of the game? Who will Lesnar go after next?
And it was truly brutal I just hope that the encounter in real life will be as brutal one can only hope
All in all an excellent show bro I can see you have put a lot of thought into it keep up the good work
Rya - Thanks for the review bro.
Everyone - Ok guys. It's nice to see people read my shows, and I love it when you tell me its good. But could you give me some..like..criticism, cause that can really help me to improve. Cheers guys.

Kane reveals in an interview with Todd Grisham about why he attacked Christian this week on Raw.
Todd Grisham: We are here with Kane. Kane, the crowd are all wondering why you attacked Christian this past week on Raw?
*Kane starts laughing*
Kane: I did it for the fun of it..haha. Christian, you are just another veteran that is trying to be the best. Well, guess what Christian, I'm afraid that you are not. And I'm going to prove that by injuring you, and hurting you. I will give you the pain that you have never ever had before. Haha.
Todd Grisham: Very interesting. Kane, do you think that Christian is scared of you?
Kane: Christian is scared of me! Haha. I shall make him scared of me! He may be small! But that is not the case. The truth is that I am a threat to him! And he knows it. He held a world title for only 5 days! And he just made a total fool out of himself! He couldn't even beat Randy Orton and that it exactly what I've done before!
Todd Grisham: But Kane, didn't you hold a world title for a day only?
Kane: What did you ask me Todd?
Todd Grisham: Don't worry Kane.
Kane: WHAT DID YOU ASK ME TODD?!
*Kane lays Todd out with a Chokeslam and leaves*
We begin the first Raw of the Shaz Era with CM Punk cuttinga stellar promo. The old Punk is back! I loved his promo so much. Cena is nowout and laughs at Punk, and says that he wants another shot at the WWE Title.AJ as her last act as Raw GM makes a Cena vs. Punk match for th WWE Title atUnforgiven! But the new GM is... EDGE! Great minds think alike bud, my SD GM isEdge ;) Edge announces pick your poison matches between Cena and Punk! Punk isin the Main Event (Yes!) as he is the champ. Great opening segment! I wish youhad given a new and different guy a chance at the Title, like a Kofi Kingston,a Christian someone like that instead of just awarding Cena the rematch that hedoesn't deserve.
Del Rio defeats Ryder in the opening match of the night. DelRio cuts a great promo, and is interrupted by a new, improved (IMO) Miz! Theybrawl to the back, where Miz is busted open. Blood, swearing, damn.... PG era is over :p
A Battle Royal for the Divas for the no.1 contendership atUnforgiven for Beth Phoenix's Diva's Title. Beth eliminates both Natalya andTamina to end the Battle Royal in confusion. Edge comes out and announces that itwill be a 3 way fight for the Title at Unforgiven. Cool!
Next, Tag Team of JTG and Shad return on Raw, dissing theTag Champs. The PTP come out and they have a good back and forth promo. Edgeannounces that it will be Cryme Tyme vs. PTP for the Tag Champs at Unforgiven.Cryme Tyme then picks up an easy win over Epico and Primo. I think you could'vegiven Epico and Primo some credit and try to build them against a strong tagteam. You can't just have Cryme Tyme and PTP look good, you have to build theTag Division as a whole back up.
Ted DiBiase and Jack Swagger have a confrontation backstage.Looking forward to something there :D . During the match, the ref is knockeddown and Swagger tries to take advantage. However, DiBiase runs down in a ref'sshirt, and grabs he chair off him. Christian hits the spear and gains thepinfall. Christian celebrates but Kane interrupts him and chokeslams him to hell! Two feud beginning to simmer nicely
Punk will commentate Cena vs. R-Truth now. Love Punk on commentary! Punk distracts Cena and Truth gets the roll up win! Michael McGillicuty cuts a promo next. I think I know what's coming... Yes, he is now Joe Henning! But wait... Mason Ryan, the beast, attacks him and insults Mr.Perfect. I honestly hope Henning beats the fuck outta Mason Ryan!
Next R-Truth tells us Kofi's gonna get got! But onto the Main Event, where Punk goes one vs. one against Kofi. Cena distracts Kofi and Punk turns around into a Trouble In Paradise for the one...two...three! Oh my God, Cena and Punk both lose singles matches, on the same Raw, unheard of! Great shock here, building both Kofi and R-Truth up. Kofi celebrates and Cena and Punk brawl. Truth arrives out and attacks Kofi, and the four men brawl to end the inaugural Raw of the Shaz Era. What a night! Overall,the best Raw I have seen written in a while, but there is always room for improvement! One thing though, Show suspended for 60 days? Maybe 30 but sixty is a bit harst IMO :L

AS WELL as being the ideal place for a chick to start life, an egg may be a great place for nurturing skin grafts, researchers believe.
Surgeons who repair damaged skin with grafts from elsewhere on the body face several problems. Grafted skin takes time to grow in, it can be a different complexion from the surrounding tissue, and the vital nerves and sweat glands that help it function normally can fail to establish themselves. But researchers have found that placing skin inside a hen's egg for a few days rejuvenates it and makes it easier to implant.
Alan McGregor and his colleagues in the Department of Plastic Surgery at the University of Wales, Swansea, have slipped scraps of skin between the shell and internal membranes of hens' eggs. The environment inside the egg encourages the growth of blood vessels, nerves and sweat glands, so the treated skin should be ...

Originally written on Grits Blitz | Last updated 2/16/13
The Falcons are facing a lot of decisions this off-season and that starts with their 14 unrestricted free agents. We will go through them one by one and decide whether or not the Falcons should re-sign them. A lot of times it's not as easy as it looks as some decisions have more than just roster spot implications. We also have to think about the salary cap as it is expected to increase by just $200,000 this season. One question presented by this offseason is whether Sam Baker should be kept by the Atlanta Falcons. Taking the opposite career path as Jake Long, Baker struggled early in his career with injuries and ineffectiveness only to play his best football during 2012. Baker has long been a weak spot for the Falcons and frequently blamed for our offensive inconsistencies. In 2011, Baker was injured and finally benched in favor or journeyman tackle Will Svitek. Thomas Dimitroff then used Atlanta's second pick on big bodied tackle Lamar Holmes. It seemed a safe bet that Baker was going to be cut going into 2012. Instead he stayed healthy and played the entire season. Comparatively good for Baker but no one will confuse him with an elite pass protector. Price may be the deciding factor with Baker. It is hard to imagine he thinks he should be paid like a top tackle and should appreciate the patience Smitty has had with him. Very likely is Baker may see what other teams are willing to pay him and return to Atlanta for a team friendly deal. In fact, there are multiple left tackles expected to become free agents this offseason with Pro Football Focus rating Sam Baker seventh and I struggle arguing he should be much higher. Verdict: The Falcons will resign Baker to a low-risk deal with limited guaranteed money. Baker is not in a position to drive a hard bargain with so many tackles available and Lamar Houston waiting in the wings. Baker has a chance to improve his play and show he can stay healthy in hopes of signing a bigger deal down the road, similar to Laron Landry's low-risk deal with the Jets. Anything more than that would spell the end of Baker's time in Atlanta. Free Agent Decisions: Chase Coffman Garrett Reynolds Mike Cox Luke McCown Will Svitek

Card Change Illusion Trick is more of an explanation than a tutorial. The presenter explains what goes on behind the trick and how you can successfully pull it off. The tricky part is that you have to figure out on your own how to perfect it.
It's an interesting video that is really, really short…. (less than a minute infact!!)
Hope you liked this video. Go ahead and leave any comments about this trick down below.

Transaction is basically a logical unit of work comprising of activities that all needed to be succeeded or failed, and also it must be compliant with ACID principals.Movement of money from a bank account to another is a simple example of a transaction. In this single transaction, two operations will be performed. One account will be debited (amount will be taken from) and other will be credited (amount will be deposited).Enabling transactions in Windows Communication Foundation is simple and straight forward but implementation sometimes becomes difficult depending upon the scenario. For example, implementing transactions in a distributed environment will definitelyrequire effort and more things to consider.
::::: Practical Guide to WCF RESTful Service :::::
Now, consider we already have developed a WCF service and we wanted to enable transactions on it. So, we will follow the steps below:
- Add System.Transactions namespace to WCF Service project.
- Set TransactionFlow property of the OperationContract attribute to Mandatory.
Available options for TransactionFlow are:
a. Mandatory – transaction must be flowed
b. Allowed – transaction may be flowed
c. Not Allowed – transaction is not flowedFor example, our WCF service contract as follows:[TransactionFlow(TransactionFlowOptions.Mandatory]
void MyMethod();
- Now, set the OperationBehavior attribute for the implementing method.[OperationBehavior(TransactionScopeRequired=true, TransactionAutoComplete=true)]
void MyMethod()
}TransactionScopeRequired = true means it can only be called in a transaction.
TransactionAutoComplete = true means that if the operation completes successfully, transaction will be committed.
- Enable Transactions for WCF Binding being used.
For Example, In our configuration file bindings will be as follows:<bindings>
<binding name="httpBinding" transactionFlow="true" />
wsHttpBinding >
Remember that we must choose a binding that supports transactions i.e. netTcpBinding, netNamedPipeBinding, wsHttpBinding, wsDualHttpBinding, and wsFederationHttpBinding.
- Need to start the transaction from client as:using System.Transaction;
Using( var transScope = new TransactionScope())
{//Calling service methods
IMyServiceClient client = new IMyServiceClient();
Optionally, If we wanted to specify the Isolation level for the transaction, we can add serviceBehavior attribute to implementing class as follows:
Public class MyService : IMyService{}
This is all we need to do for enabling transactions in WCF.
There are few more things regarding "Service Instancing and Sessions" that need to be considered while working with Transactions but this basic WCF tutorial is more focused on enabling transactions in simple scenario. In my later WCF article on Windows Communication Foundation Transactions on this blog, I'll discuss those concepts in more details.

Hot and humid today with a chance for storms
Temperatures should approach the 90 degree mark for the first time this year and a chance for severe storms will be possible this afternoon and evening.
This Afternoon: Mostly Sunny, Hot & Humid
Highs: Around 90 | Wind: SW 6-12 m.p.h.
Overnight: Partly Cloudy, Iso. Storms
Lows: 60s | Wind: S 5-10 m.p.h.
Friday: Partly Cloudy, Storms Possible
Highs: Upper 80s | Wind: S 5-10 m.p.h.
A very hot and humid airmass will hold in place today over the D.C. area, allowing the region to possibly have its first 90 degree day of the year. If you remember last year we tied the record for 90 degree days in a calendar year in D.C. at 67. Also, the first 90 degree day last year occurred on April 6th, though at this time last year, we only had 3 90 degree days, so catching up will be easy, and something easily obtainable over the next week.
A few thunderstorms may accompany the heat and humidity later this afternoon with the best chance west of town towards the mountains. Closer to D.C., our area has a strong temperature inversion overhead which should keep the D.C. Metro capped from thunderstorm development. Tonight will be partly cloudy and muggy with lows in the 60s. A much better chance for storms will exist Friday as the cold front finally makes it to the region.
For the Memorial Day weekend, it should continue to be hot and humid with highs in the upper 80s Saturday and Sunday and in the lower 90s by Monday. There is a slight chance for storms on Saturday, but otherwise expect mostly sunny skies. If you are heading to the beaches, be sure to check out our beach blog with the forecast and all other information you will need.

About Us
Thanks for visiting our site… We're looking for new members- if you want to join us, please get in touch!
We're a friendly, lively community choir based in East Dulwich at Goose Green Primary School. We started as a choir for parents and staff at the school but we're now open all adults in the local community.
We're always delighted to welcome new members so please get in touch if you want to join. No musical experience is required – just enthusiasm! You don't have to read music and for many of us this was our first choir so don't worry that you might not have enough experience to join us.
We meet on Tuesday evenings (except school holidays), 6:30 – 7:55 pm at Goose Green Primary School and then usually we head off to the local pub for a pint or two.
We perform several times a year at events organised by the school including: Black History Night, various Christmas events and the Goose Green Summer Carnival.
We also perform at events away from the school and had a very busy 2014 having organised the first East Dulwich Choir Fest with six other local community choirs and even sung at the Southbank Centre as part of their Chorus Festival.
We hope to be singing at other local events and fairs in 2015 so watch this space or follow us on Twitter to keep up to date!
'I used to sing in choirs when I was younger and this is a different and much more entertaining experience!' ~ Polly

Alternative bases & foundations
Has anyone had to make do with a less than optimum base size?
Say I want a 42" oven but only have enough floor space due to existing construction for about a 60" square foundation base. I do have enough room for the oven itself but do not want to destroy the existing brickwork surrounding my limited space for the foundation.
Is it possible to have the foundation size small, the base built upward from the small foundation with a top to the base that would be cantilevered to the forward and one side of the base?
In other words, the back and left side of the base would be against a back and side wall. So the front and right side could be cantilevered out and to the other side to allow enough top space for the oven to fit on top. At least 80% of the ovens weight would still be supported by the actual part of the top that is still over the main part of the base and foundation. It should not be off balance at all.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
Re: Alternative bases & foundations
There are a few builds here where the oven enclosure has a larger footprint than the base's footprint. If you engineer your support slab with the proper amount of rebar, I wouldn't think 10% unsupported oven weight on each side would pose that much of a problem. Too bad you couldn't construct a circular base so your oven (should it be an igloo) comes out looking like a giant mushroom! :)
Re: Alternative bases & foundations
I think my base was 60*60 so I cantalevered the 4 inch concrete pad out to accomodate the 42 inch oven. Form work and 2x4 supports.
Good Luck

You can absolutely do it, you just need rebar to provide more structural support and possibly a 6" thick deck (I'm guessing). Your doing nothing different than how skyscrapers are made, just on a much smaller scale.
Re: Alternative bases & foundations
Cantilevering will work fine. In fact, it may be stronger because it puts your support structure below the dome, rather than below the exterior insulation.
Re: Alternative bases & foundations
Good, I guess now I have to start getting some of the ideas out of my head and onto some paper...

My oven stand has a much smaller footprint than the oven support slab. I put the stand under where the weight is.
Re: Alternative bases & foundations
My only problem is that the support slab for me has to be a bit off center. I suppose it shouldn't be a problem as long as the support is sufficient and the load spread and balance
Re: Alternative bases & foundations
I built my oven on 3 concrete columns.
Re: Alternative bases & foundations
You cantilever will be less than a foot. You won't have any problems.
Placement of reinforcing steel will be a bit more important. The ends of the the rebar should either be "hooked" or bent 90 degrees for 6 inches or so to tie to the edge rebar.
Dead ending rebar is always less than desirable. It takes a certain length of rebar embedment in concrete to transfer the tension to the concrete. This length is usually taken to be about 30 times the diameter (i.e. for 3/8 inch rebar = 11 inches).

NAMIBIA remained fourth on the log after suffering a narrow three-run defeat against Northerns in their Cricket South Africa (CSA) One-Day match in Pretoria on Sunday.
In a thrilling finish to the match, Namibia needed 13 runs from the final over to win the match, but although they made a gallant effort, they ended up four runs short of the winning target.
Namibia won the toss and sent Northerns in to bat, as the hosts got off to a fine start.
All their top-order batsmen got amongst the runs as they reached a total of 203/6 off their 40 overs.
Graeme van Buuren was the top scorer with 48 runs, while Heinrich Klaazen scored 30 not out, Cobus Pienaar 26, Shershan Naidoo 25 and Lerato Kgoatle 23.
LP van der Westhuizen was Namibia's top bowler, taking 2/47 off eight overs, while Louis Klazinga, Brandon Viret and Bernard Scholtz each took one wicket.
In their run chase, Namibia lost the early wickets of Pikkie Ya France (3), Raymond van Schoor (19) and Sarel Burger (8) as they were reduced to 40/3.
LP van der Westhuizen and Craig Williams gave Namibia hope with a 56-run partnership before Van der Westhuizen was out for 38 off 38 balls.
Nicolaas Scholtz (7) and Christi Viljoen (7) both went cheaply, but Bernard Scholtz joined Williams as they added 52 runs for the seventh wicket before Williams was out for a top score of 60, with the total at 181.
With 16 balls remaining, Namibia still needed 23 runs for victory and they nearly got there as Scholtz added 30 and Brandon Viret 10, while the not out batsmen were Louis Klazinga (0) and Shalako Groenewald (5).
Namibia are now fourth out of seven teams on the Inland Pool log with nine points from four matches.
North West lead the log with 21 points, followed by Free State on 18 and Gauteng on nine points.
Namibian players feature prominently in both the batting and bowling averages of the competition.
LP van der Westhuizen is currently fourth amongst the top run scorers with 191 runs at an average of 47,75, while Craig Williams is sixth with 169 runs at an average of 84,50.
Brandon Viret is fourth amongst the top wicket takers with nine wickets at an average of 14,11, while LP van der Westhuizen is eleventh with seven wickets at an average of 23,71.
Namibia have meanwhile dropped down to third last position on the log in the CSA Three-Day competition, following their draw against Northerns on Saturday.
Namibia now have 24,52 points from four matches and are just above Griqualand West on 21,86 and Kwazulu-Natal on 17,52.
Eastern Province lead the log with 57,82 points from five matches, followed by Boland on 55,76 and North West on 54,98.
Namibian players are not doing too well in the averages of the CSA three-day competition.
Craig Williams is 12th amongst the top batsmen with 288 runs at an average of 41,14, while Nicolaas Scholtz is 14th with 282 runs at an average of 47,00.
Louis Klazinga is eighth amongst the top bowlers with 18 wickets at an average of 15,94.

New trailer for '300: Rise of an Empire' brings more brawn
Fans of Zack Snyder's highly successful film "300" can now catch a glimpse of its sequel, "300: Rise of an Empire."
Warner Bros. released the trailer on Wednesday, which opens with a slow motion scene of Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) bearing his sword upon the neck of King Leonidas (Gerard Butler).
The clip gives little insight into the film's plotline, but expect to see more shirtless brawny men, CGI explosions and lots of bows and arrows.
"300: Rise of an Empire" will muscle its way into theaters March 7, 2014.

You've probably come across research findings explaining how social networks make us lonely – but none of them would be as beautifully executed as this animated clip by motion designer Shimi Cohen.
Shimi draws inspiration from Sherry Turkle's book Alone Together, in which the author discusses how new technologies are affecting the younger generation. The excellent use of visual graphics and motion design makes this video a must-watch. The voiceover at the beginning of the clip is a bit inaudible so you might want to turn up the volume a bit.

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert insists in-form striker Christian Benteke is part of his long-term plans and not for sale.
The Belgium international is proving a bargain buy at £8 million with his performances since his summer move from Genk. Villa have offloaded key players such as Gareth Barry, James Milner, Ashley Young and Stewart Downing in recent seasons.
There has been speculation that Benteke could become a target for one of the leading Barclays Premier League clubs during the January transfer window. But Lambert said: "There's no point in us even being here if it's a case of bringing people in and then letting them go. What's the point in that?"

After more than 25 years of reign over our desktops, it looks like the X Server is approaching retirement. With Wayland finally a possible successor seems to be found. The year 2010 showed important development efforts in the field of Wayland. Major distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora announced that they want to switch to Wayland and the Qt framework was ported to Wayland - the code is already merged into the Qt tree.
Having a possible successor for the X window system is not the only factor for its success. In order to be able to transit to Wayland our desktop environments need to embrace the new environment. Providing a powerful Wayland compositor is one of the most important implementation tasks for the existing desktop environments like the KDE Plasma Workspaces. Without a compositor being on par with the X11 window managers it is unlikely that there is any user acceptance for Wayland.
In this talk the possibilities of providing a Wayland compositor for the KDE Plasma Workspaces based on KWin's existing source code will be discussed and presented. KWin has already done a major step towards Wayland by supporting OpenGL ES 2.0 as a compositing backend. The work currently going on in KWin will be presented in the context of the Wayland porting efforts and the steps to go from here will be elaborated.

2000 Kia Sportage Q&A
2000 Kia Sportage Question: p1309
p1309 chassis acceleratior sensor located the part on the car but dont know how to check it and/or dont know its function - tmackey
Answer 1
A sensor attached at the chassis in the engine bay on drivers side. Tells ecm to ignore misfire codes when driving on rough rodes. Found rest of this online: There is a intermittent connection problem in connectors C123 and C124. This two connectors are located above the starter, below the Lower intake. These two connectors send a 5Volt Ref signal to the TPS, MAF, Chassis Accel sensor,EVAP pressure sensor, etc. This Problem normally causes codes P0122, P1309, P0452, P0101, and occasionaly others. These connectors must be unhooked, cleaned, inspected, modified, and a New Type spring retainer clip is put on them to hold them together. This occurs with late 99-02 sportages as well, though they are not covered under the recall, and will have to be paid out of pocket, or like me, repaired on your own. - raiderron

MoSync has two primary runtime architectures - one implemented in C++ and one in Java. However, the design is very similar in both cases.
A runtime includes a service layer providing file I/O, threading, networking, memory managment and other supporting functions.
This module holds the runtime's entrypoint. Its size and responsibilities vary across platforms. However, it typically handles platform-specific event management, initialization and destruction.
This module is responsible for implementing the basic features required for all platforms - graphics, audio, networking etc. It interprets MoSync resource files and also provides event managment, initialization and destruction.
This module provides facilities for managing resource objects, such as images, sounds and data blobs. It supports dynamic creation and destruction of resources, as well as conditionally loading resources depending on the platform (Android, iOS, etc.), the device's screen size, and so on.
Some features may not be available on all platforms. Such features are implemented as numbered functions called through a single Syscall. That Syscall returns a specific error value if the function being called is not present. This allows developers to determine whether such a non-universal API is accessible in runtime.
This module is responsible for the execution of MoSync programs. It interoperates with the syscalls and resource system. Cores come in a number of different flavors, all of which share a common interface to the above mentioned modules. These are the three main types:
|VM Core
|Recompiler Core
|Generated Core
|A VM core is a virtual machine that loads, interprets and executes MoSync bytecode directly. The execution is implemented in a single, small function, allowing for efficient JIT optimization. This is the type of core we use for Java ME.
|A recompiler core loads MoSync bytecode and recompiles it into native code for the platform concerned, typically ARM machine code. The generated machine code is then executed. This is the type of core we use for Windows Mobile and Symbian.
|This type of core neither inteprets nor recompiles MoSync bytecode - instead, it contains native code generated ahead of time from MoSync IL, and exposes an interface consistent with other core variants. This is the type of core we use for iPhone.
The reason we have three types of cores is that each has its distinct advantages. VM cores are great for debugging and conformance verification and are fully dynamic, making it possible to load new code at runtime, which is useful for many types of applications. Recompiler cores are more efficient, but provide less debugging support. They are also dynamic, albeit with some recompilation overhead when loading new code. Finally, generated cores provide zero overhead for low end devices, while sacrificing dynamicite. They are not able to load code at runtime.
All three types of core share a common interface - a generated or recompiler core works as a drop-in replacement for a VM core. This allows all the other modules to be shared across runtimes without modification.

The Sacrifice
For many years Jewish priests in Jerusalem have been making pieces of furniture for use in the third temple in expectation that it will be rebuilt soon, and that after more than 1900 years their priestly duties will be restored. To prepare for this, in recent years priests gathered in Jerusalem and sacrificed a Passover lamb. Host, Joel Kramer was there to capture this rare event on film so that you, too, could see the Biblical principal of atonement demonstrated like you've never seen it before.
Additional footage comes from the Samaritans, a Biblical people who also still sacrifice animals today according to the Law of Moses. Join us in watching this unique episode of Expedition Bible that will teach you the profoundness of why God required the sacrifice of animals for the forgiveness of sin and the promise of ultimate redemption it pointed to!
Runtime: 35min.
"Well done. Powerful and realistic images of what the sacrifice means to us as believers. Too often the word sacrifice is a sterile concept. Thanks"
— E. Hanson, comment left on SourceFlix website
Watch Trailer
"Wow! I don't know how anyone could watch this and not be deeply moved. I thought of how the blood sacrifice began even in the garden after Adam and Eve disobeyed God and He slayed an innocent animal to make clothing out of the skin to cover them. Watching the lamb being dragged led me back to walking the path that Jesus walked, carrying the cross for me, for us all. Bleeding for me; for all. Thank you Joel. God Bless you brother."
