FREEPORT — Walton County Habitat for Humanity's staff members were horrified Tuesday morning to learn that someone had broken into their ReStore over the weekend and stolen more than $7,500 worth of tools and computers.
The thefts occurred sometime between when the store closed Saturday afternoon and Tuesday morning, according to Executive Director Theresa Imdieke.
"They stole all of our tools for building homes," she said. "I could almost cry when I found out.
"I don't know why people steal from a non-profit," she added.
The missing tools include hand saws, hammers and screw guns, she said.
Imdieke said the suspect or suspects broke into a back window of the specialty thrift store and stole "everything of value," including the security system that could have provided clues to the incident.
None of the items for sale in the store were taken, she said. The store sells low-cost housing goods and construction items.
Habitat for Humanity provides affordable housing opportunities to low-income families. To date, Walton County's branch has built 26 homes and remodeled two others, according to a news release from the organization.
The Walton County Sheriff's Office is investigating the burglary but could not release any information Tuesday afternoon.
Anyone with information should call the Sheriff's Office at 267-7000.
For information about the Walton County Habitat for Humanity, call 835-0067.

I am looking for junk, bare or non-working HO AFX G Plus chassis. The only part they need to have is the brush barrel clip. I have all the other parts to rebuild. It turns out the brush barrel clip is the only part not available from anyone out there. I have tried them all. I would like to get up to 20 chassis. Anybody have any they would like to part with?
Posted 13 April 2010 - 02:19 AM
I found them. Thanks to all who responded.
Posted 26 May 2010 - 05:53 AM
Hi, Big Daddy; it's obvious you work with HO slot cars. Could you show us anything you have? Do you have a permanent track setup? In the early '80's I had a 4' by 7' AFX track in my living room, with my wife's blessing. I started building scenery, and had a blast with the set. One of these days, when I regain control of my basement, I want to build another track. Always thought this was a neat hobby, even though it's hard to find cars and parts now.

FIVE countries have confirmed participation in the Zone VI Beach Volleyball Qualification Tournament for the youth and junior categories this weekend at DTS Beach Volleyball Arena in Windhoek.
Zambia, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, South Africa and host Namibia will take part in the U21 and U18 zonal double gender qualification tournament for the World Cup.
The best four teams will qualify for the next round taking place in March or April.
Namibia is taking part with its top junior players Tin Hlupic and Gerard Fischer, who have already got a bagful of experience from last year's World Cup.
In the female junior category, Julia Laggner, a World Cup participant in 2011, will arrive on Friday from Germany to play together with local junior Saskia Henckert.
"Although we never played together, I think me and Saskia will give favourites South Africa a hard time," says Laggner, who is one of the best beach volleyball players on the continent.
In the U18 youth category for girls, local team Maike Brandt/Mareike Talkenberg will have a good chance to gain one of the top places.
The games will start at 09h00 tomorrow. Sport enthusiasts are urged to come out in numbers and support the teams.

TfL is keeping wheelchair boarding ramps at 16 tube stations for a few more months, at least.
Ramps help wheelchair users get over the gap between platform and train and have, unsurprisingly, been popular with disabled people using the underground during the Games. (Earlier this year wheelchair user John Thornton put together his own map of accessible London stations. The results… well, we'd say they'll surprise you, but they probably won't.) Ramps are available at Hammersmith, King's Cross St Pancras, West Ham, Westminster, Southfields, Wimbledon, Earl's Court, Fulham Broadway, Stratford, Woodford, Oxford Circus, Queen's Park, Edgware, Morden, Finchley Central and Stockwell.
The move isn't guaranteed to be permanent, though. Over this next few months TfL will conduct a review into ramp use, looking at benefits to customers, reliability, cost, level of usage and – interestingly – potential locations for future use. If you use a wheelchair, try and pay a visit to these stations as we're potentially in a use-it-or-lose-it situation.
We can forsee another slight problem, however. These ramps need a member of staff on hand to get them into position (unlike, say, the platform humps at certain stations). TfL went all out on staffing during the Games but we're now back to normality, and it'll be harder to find someone who can help. The Guardian has been running some interesting articles about how Paralympic London isn't quite the same as day-to-day London, with gold medal winning Sophie Christiansen pointing out:
Access is horrendous in London… the Paralympics has improved London transport in terms of the number of helpers. But in terms of actual physical access, they haven't done anything.
Hopefully TfL will decide the ramps are a long-term necessity and they'll not just stay, but be extended across the network. Because there's just no point in having had 11 days of equality, where London showed the world just the start of how things should be done, only to slip back to the old status quo.

There is a manual for mission editor? Where can I find?
Try the BIKI guides:
And some links to tutorials from the Community Modding Bible:
Current active projects: None
Maintained/assisted projects: IFA3, Blitzkrieg
Help: Got a crash? Report it! What is the RPT log file?
They are plenty useful, it's the same script-language and the same way of doing it. It's just the GUI that's changed.
Well it is top inside of right side and icons instead of text.
I would think is easier for new guys though.
There are a few additions it seems but nothing major.
Well there is the new waypoint plugin architecture, but I don't think it will be documented until some time after main game release. There are some (at least audio) stuff that works in A2/OA that just doesn't work in the CP. The general GUI layout is so similar it doesn't need a rewrite.
Carl Gustaffa - left this game due becoming Steam Exclusive
I think for new players especially ones who have not experienced the Arma series this would be quite useful tbh.

I would like to see some sort of basic guide to say what the icons are at the top, and a basic idea on what to do with them, I would have thought that they would have done that for people who are new rather than just cater for the arma people that know what they are doing.
The interface of the editor is different to the other series as far as I can see anyway, gets a bit frustrating trying to muddle through it just to something like a basic mission.

Unibody aluminium iPhone competitor HTC One gets reviewed
Android Central's Alex Dobie has posted his definitive HTC One review. While he bewilderingly managed to misspell aluminium, Dobie otherwise did a fantastic job looking at the almost Apple-class unibody hardware, stunning 1080p LCD display, and the interesting if more divisive HTC Sense 5 interface. His conclusion:
he HTC One is an exquisite piece of design and engineering. From the hardware to the software, HTC's new handset incorporates some of the very best design work in the industry. If there's something to be disappointed about, it might be the much-vaunted "UltraPixel" camera. Which is not to say it's bad per se -- in fact, it's pretty good. But it's a long way off being the silver bullet to cure all your mobile photography woes, and though its low-light performance is fantastic, it still lags behind the competition in some other areas.
In spite of this, is it HTC's best phone yet? Without question. And on balance, is it the best Android phone you can buy? For the moment, absolutely.
I had an HTC G1 and an HTC Nexus One, and to date they've made my favorite Android hardware by a long stretch. The HTC One looks far better built than either the Nexus 4 I currently own, or Samsung's just-announced Galaxy S4. I use my phone all day, every day, so how it feels is incredibly important.
But then again, so is software, and that sounds like it's still a challenge for HTC. At least the interface sounds smooth, though, which would be fantastic if it holds true day in day out, app in, app out.
If you're interested in seeing aluminium and glass at 4.7-inch scale, along with some great speakers, audacious camera technology, and... curious button and Home screen choices, check the Dobie's full review. Then come back here and let me know if there's anything about the HTC One you'd like to see Apple incorporate into future versions of the iPhone.

Unibody aluminium iPhone competitor HTC One gets reviewed
It looks cool.
Pretty cool! Even though HTC ripped off Apple, the HTC One has the best feel of all Android phones by a long shot. They were probably allowed to copy Apple's design when they signed the licensing agreement so I guess that move wasn't surprising.
I don't think the cross-license covered design. HTC's been making unibody phones for a while. I don't think it looks that much like an iPhone, and I like that they're using higher end materials.
It would have been nice to see more than a front view. And what kind of high end materials do you think they are using? Titanium? Magnesium? Aluminum is cheap the rest are not.
Whoa, I didn't even know that HTC made unibody phones! I always assumed they were made of plastic. Also, just to clarify, I meant that HTC was using aluminum as its main build material, just like the iPhone, but I see your point that it doesn't look like an iPhone and that they are using higher quality material. Thank you for clarifying about the cross-license agreement too!
HTC has long made quality hardware. My 2 year old EVO is an aluminum chassis with a soft touch plastic battery cover. Not as pretty as the iPhones, but a more practical and durable design. Their biggest issue has been that Sense is a resource hog.
It WAS a resource hog. Ever since sense 4 and up, it's been really really fluid and looks great.
WAYYYYYYY better than anything samsung offers with touch wiz
If I was to leave apple this would be the phone of choice!
Re: "...audacious camera technology..."
So audacious that HTC can't get their supplier to ship the camera module in quantity? Or is it hard to get those camera modules because HTC is no longer a tier-one customer for components any more? Either way, the HTC One release has slipped from March to maybe April.
Here's what an HTC exec had to say about HTC no longer being a tier-one customer:
I like that they went for a big microns rather than high megapixel count. It's a marketing hit, but a technology win. (At least, if they improve the software.)
It's not a myth, it's a fact. Megapixels are very important if you are using all of them as a professional. To post crap on the web, 3 megapixels is more than enough. There's a reason why medium format backs can produce 60+ megapixels, because they need to. Do they need to be in phones? Of course not, but they will because people want to pretend to be professionals and they dumb ass people ruin it for the rest of us who just want a decent 6-8 megapixel camera phone.
A lot of the features are hidden away, and Sense as an interface isn't universally adored (some prefer stock, some TouchWiz, etc.) BlinkFeed looks like it needs some work, as does the camera software.
I agree that no interface is universally adored. Having used the One X, I didn't find camera software to be lacking, and can only imagine that it must have gotten better with Sense 5. I haven't personally seen/used a One yet so I can't comment on blinkfeed, but from reviews, other than it needing more content I fail to see why it's being portrayed as a flaw?
Sense has always been a flop. Personally I think all these custom skins for android suck. Just pick up and use a nexus phone. Stock jellybean is just gorgeous. If the htc one had stock jellybean it would have been perfect. I always feel that custom skins cause a bit of lag as sense has always been a resource hogging skin.
Apple do an awesome job of having a fluent os since the interface is pure and clean with no gimmicks like sense. I'm sure sense 5 is an improvement but it can't match stock android jb or iOS.
Android always lagged compared to iOS, until JB came along. And android was created for the sole purpose of giving users choice, which is what sense is, a choice. I'm not sure what you're comparing sense to JB to come to the conclusion that sense can't match, unless you're talking about speed of android updates. From all of the review videos I have yet to see the One lag.
Apple still loads things up and it is visible. If I hit settings I have to wait after I see the settings background to actually have the electable options. It just hides the waiting with animaitions.
Sense is now really really good. Ever since sense 4, it's been light, fluid, and wonderful to look it. Eventually you can root and put stock JB on there, but its just not a big deal when Sense 5 is just going to fast and look great.
Well if you are implying that HTC copies Apple here with the aluminum case and back then I'm sorry but that's wrong. HTC has been known to use aluminum backs in the past: the HTC Legend (2010) for example
And the HTC One S (March 2012) was a unibody aluminum phone.
Neither did Apple copy HTC here. It's just a choice of materials and aluminum is an obvious choice when going for a high finish feel: it's light, feels sturdy and is relatively cheap (cheaper than stainless steel for example).
Looks nice but I am wondering if it wouldn't make sense to make smart phones out of more forgiving - ie flexible materials. Drop this or an iPhone on the ground, the rigid frame almost ensures a cracked screen. How about a shock proof body, eliminating the need most people feel to get cases for their gadgets.
Not at all. The Aluminum chassis on my EVO has protected my screen from numerous drops. Flex + Glass = Bad in most situations.
Casio makes a shock proof phone. Unfortunately it's about 3 years out of date. Sony makes some decent waterproof phones. It really should be standard, given how much phones cost and how they are used. But it probably won't be until either Samsung or Apple start doing it on their flagship phones.
"But then again, so is software, and that sounds like it's still a challenge for HTC. At least the interface sounds smooth, though, which would be fantastic if it holds true day in day out, app in, app out."
Haha.. I had a hard time deciding if you were talking about Sense's performance or if it was a subtle attack on Android's performance, something which hTC can't do much about :P
Anyway, the hTC's unibody is so beautiful that it could have been my next phone. But Android is definitely a no-go for me.
And I don't think it looks like an iPhone. On first look, however, I did feel that it slightly resembled the Blackberry Z10!!
Wow, I too have always loved HTC's build quality and devices, though how well Android ran on it was always hit and miss. I loved Friend Stream as well. A great way to keep up on Facebook and Twitter at the same time, but Blink Feed is a wonderful replacement for it. I'd even be able to easily keep up on my Mobile Nations at the same time as well. HTC has done well, we'll see what the future holds for them.
I could go for a 4.7"-5" iPhone, Stereo speakers, and apps that can talk to each other. I suppose that last one is an Android feature, not an HTC One feature though. A phone somewhere between the current iPhone and the iPad Mini would be perfect for me.
Great phone, would love it even more if Blinkfeed can be removed and that camera would be of 8mp ultrapixel instead of 4mp. The design though great job HTC, looks like more android manufacturers are going towards premium materials instead of plastic.
Like what? iPhone was rated the worst high end smartphone by consumer reports.
the GS4 is filled with features that everyone is going to eventually forget and has one of the worst overlays to androidL touchwiz. It doesnt look good, it isnt uniform like sense 5.
"Android Central's Alex Dobie has posted his definitive HTC One review. While he bewilderingly managed to misspell aluminium"
No he didn't.. aluminum is an accepted spelling of aluminium in the United States.
Out of all the smartphone hardware I've owned, HTC definitely makes some of the best handsets around. Even without the unibody design, they always felt sturdy, sleek, and comfortable. The HTC One looks like they did another premium job, and I like the new Sense UI. If I were an Android user, this would be the one I'd want. At least until the next "oh gotta have it" phone comes out next month...and the next month...and the month after that.... :)
Is it really "unibody" though? I've seen a lot of reviews throw that term around but I can't find anything on the web anywhere that proves that it actually is a unibody design. I find it difficult to believe that someone else besides Apple is actually going so far as to do unibody construction. It's an aluminium phone, but I'm not sure if I believe it's a unibody.
The HTC One is the one phone that almost every Apple fan boy wants but can't have at least with iOS on it. But the real frustration is that we all now know that a great phone like this can be built right now! Not 1 1/2 or 2 years from now but RIGHT NOW! So my questions is why is Apple not giving us this high end hardware before we see it first on an Android phone!? Where is that 5 year lead gone? I believe when you look at the HTC One, you are looking at the iPhone 7! I think Apple as a Giant company can no longer lead or take chances. I think we will see a bigger iPhone this year, but it won't be as advanced as the HTC One. You can forget stereo speakers or a battery sipping OLED screen. 128 gig option would be nice. You can also forget about an iWatch. (If I were introducing one I would be calling it the DT for Dick Tracy and it could do FaceTime calls! And it would have an IRblaster built in! ). But the iWatch with a one size fits all is just to hard to produce for the masses right now. Waiting on better batteries. Maybe next year.
This is the first Android phone I've seen that didn't strike me as a thrown together plastic toy. I really wish Apple would take some cues from this phone, because the size and form factor look just about perfect to me.
Love to see the home screen concept on an Iphone - where you have access to your content right from the home screen. I know the idea of widgets has been discussed many times, but it looked pretty cool on that phone, be great to get that kind of function on an iphone.
I agree about HTC being the best android handset. When I checked out android phones in the store a year ago, the HTC was easily the smoothest. I thought android had fixed their stuttering problem, until I went and played with the S3. Nope, still stuttering. Still don't understand why people bought the S3 over the HTC (forget what their flagship phone name was at the time).
Htc sense 4 and on looks and feels great. You need to pick up a ONE x and play with that. Really great phone.
for an android phone i think it's best on market right now. i think it's better than the gs4
The htc one looks like the iphone 5

It's Christmas Eve! That means you only have one more day to try these holiday sex positions.
So everyone find a sexual partner and try the O Holy Night sex position.
Here's how this one is done…
Just like the Christmas carol that shares a name with this sex position, I command thee (the men) to fall on your knees. However, instead of hearing angelic voices, you're going to receive sexual pleasure.
Now that you men are on both of your knees, it's the woman's turn to get on one knee and wrap her other leg around the man's back. For added support, wrap your arms around your man and get him to hold you by the butt.
And that's it! Penetrate the vagina with the penis and you've completed the O Holy Night sex position.
If you have bad knees, please don't try this sex position.

More than 275 rabbis signed on to a letter to Congress urging the lawmakers to end tax cuts for those earning more than $250,000 a year.
As part of the ongoing campaign by Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice, community advocacy events also will be held in homes and community centers throughout the United States.
Participants in the events will write and call their Congress member, recruit more supporters and create publicity materials. The efforts are designed to garner support for ending tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans, according to a statement from Bend the Arc.
"The time has come for the American Jewish community to have a conversation with our elected officials about our tax system and our budget," said Alan van Capelle, CEO of Bend the Arc. "Just saying don't cut the specific programs that we run and that serve our community is no longer enough. We have to talk about taxes and revenue, and Bend the Arc is not afraid to do so."
"The Jewish community's prophetic voices are speaking up," said Hadar Susskind, director of Bend the Arc Jewish Action and Bend the Arc Jewish Action PAC. "Hundreds of rabbis and thousands of others have made clear that ending these tax cuts is the moral thing to do and a priority for American Jews."
The letter from the rabbis speaks of a just society where everyone can share opportunity.
Prominent rabbis from all movements of Judaism signed the letter, including Irving "Yitz" Greenberg, David Saperstein, Jack Moline, Ellen Weinberg Dreyfus and Sydney Mintz.
"Whatever the President and Congress do regarding the tax cuts will have enormous effects on individuals and families across the nation," the letter concludes.

The suggestions to take her to the vet are good. Also any change of life, and with a cat this can mean as little as rearranging the furniture in your room (I've had cats my whole life, yes some are that sensitive) can cause distress that she is trying to show you how upset she is. Another thing about smell, the plastic in a litter box can become full of old nasty smells that we don't really notice but that a cat would be unable to stand. In that case it won't matter how clean the litter is. If you can't afford to replace the box, try scrubbing it with a mixture of vinager and baking soda. Make sure to rinse and completely dry the box before refilling it. This has helped me in the past. Good Luck!

answered Tuesday November 2 2004, 1:07 am:
Well Moop covered pretty much everything. But I wanted to mention a few other things. One of the most common reasons for a cat going to the bathroom right outside their litter box is because the box is not clean enough for their standards. You already seem to be aware of this since you say it is clean. But perhaps you should try cleaning it every day instead of every two days.
Another reason that cats suddenly start doing things like this is because of a sudden change in their environment. Did you get any new pets recently? Did you change Zoey's litter? Did you move her box to a different spot? Is there a new smell around her box? You need to think about everything your cat goes through throughout the day and try to think of something that has suddenly changed. Perhaps it could even be something as simple as a new cat that has moved in down the street. I have even heard stories of a cat that stayed inside 24 hours a day who suddenly started to mark up the house when he saw a new cat in the neighborhood outside through the window.
You could try calling an animal trainer or behavior specialist. But, they can be quite expensive. If you can pin-point why your cat is suddenly acting like this, and take that thing away, then the behavior should change for the better.
Cat's are wonderfully stubborn little creatures aren't they?
This is most likely a behavioral problem, and could very likely be caused by a change in Zoey's environment... but with any sudden change in bathroom behavior, you need to check with your Vet. A simple phone call should be enough. It's hard to believe that this strange behavior could be caused by an illness, but it's also quite possible.
Now my last little tid-bit about this question is about the "rubbing their nose in it and saying no" part. I would not suggest trying this at all. It can usually have a negative outcome. While sternly saying no is always good, rubbing your cats nose in their 'mess' can seriously hurt their sense of smell and is only going to frighten the animal. The same thing goes for a dog. It's been a widely used form of training for dogs for a while now, but I would not suggest it at all. It's very highly outdated.

Everyone messes up a couple of times but since she has been constantly doing this, I think putting her nose in it and saying 'no' is the right way to go. I have a cat who is 4 and another who is 2 and being a cat owner, I know what you are going through(mine use the litter box too)because you don't wanna be hard on them because they are like your babies but there needs to be a time when you will have to put your foot down and let them know who is the boss. You can even put down a mat, like a plain door mat right in front of the litter box(that is what we do in case someone misses). If she doesn't improve however, confront your parents and vet. Maybe they could help. Good Luck*

answered Monday November 1 2004, 7:44 pm:
1) how old was she when weaned from her mother? if she was weaned before 3 months then chances are, she was never taught poddy training. In this case you're going to have to discipline her when she uses it in the wrong place and move her to the box a lot. I don't exactly remember all that litter-box training involves but it sounds as if this is not caused because she was never trained.
2) you have one box. Most vets will recommend having two per cat per floor. We live in a ranch house with three cats, therefore we have six boxes. They're all in their own little room.
3) could your cat be blind? My cat constantly peed outside the box, was unreactive towards the other cats and stumbled around when we moved furniture. Turns out, she's blind (and deaf).
Consider these.

What I Made
Trike Biker Costume. My daughter is not able to walk so this was something I could build for her that would be different and not just an outfit.
How I Made It
Used and old tricycle, gas tank, and handlebars I had. Also made a base out of wood to mount her special tomato foam chair on. Used some foam board to make it look cleaner. Then painted it all black with purple flames and some skulls on the back seat area. Bought her a Harley Davidson leather jacket and some tattoo sleeves to put on her legs.
Tips & tricks
- I don't really have any tips and tricks. I am pretty good at making stuff so it wasn't hard for me. Maybe use material that you work well with and come up with a plan before you take on a project. Do a cost analysis because if I wouldn't have had most of the stuff it would have been a rather expensive project.

HOT coffee maker recommendations, please....
My parents want a new coffeemaker, I would like to surprise them with one. Their only stipulation is that it makes HOT coffee, and keeps it hot.....anyone have good suggestions for a reasonably priced model?
My parent have this one and you can selct the temp, plus it has a thermal carafe to keep it hotter longer.
Cost is not cheap-$160 but maybe you can find at BBB with their 20% coupon.
<<Coffee lovers know that temperature is just as important as taste. This innovative machine lets you choose from three heat settings, including the hottest setting Cuisinart has ever offered. Combine that with two strength options, and you can customize your perfect cup. The Extreme Brew Elite is fast, too—brew a full pot up to 25% faster than most coffee makers.
Adjustable Brewed Coffee Temperature Control uses a unique new internal heating system to provide three temperature settings: Regular, Hot and X-Hot.
Touchpad controls 24-hour brew start, self-clean, 0-4 hour auto-shutoff and a 1- to 4-cup setting with surrounding blue LED lights.
Equipped with Extreme Brew Technology, a re-engineered brewing process that lets you enjoy hot, fresh coffee up to 25% faster than most coffee machines.
Two settings let you adjust coffee strength to your preference.
A 60-second reset feature recalls settings and stage of brewing process in case of power loss.
Charcoal water filter remove impurities and ensures fresh-tasting coffee.
Gold-tone coffee filter is reusable, eliminating the need for paper filters.
Use the Brew Pause feature to sneak a quick cup before the brew cycle has finished.
Drip-free pour spout and wide-grip handle for easy serving.
Double-wall insulated thermal carafe maintains heat even while away from unit and holds up to 10 cups (50 oz).
Audible alert signals when brew cycle is complete.>>
I have a Zojirushi. It brews hot and has the thermal carafe to keep the coffee hot.
eta: it isn't quite as fancy as the WS, but it really does make and keep the coffee hot. :) best coffee maker I've ever had.
re: jujuthomas
+1 for the Zjojirushi. We've had ours for over a year.
I have a Bonavita BV1800.
If your parents are picky about coffee and want the maker that does the best job of brewing drip coffee, then this is pretty good. I've heard the Technivorm Moccamaster is also very good but expensive.
On the other hand, the Bonavita probably could use a better design. The filter literally sits on top of the thermal carafe, which means when when you take out the carafe you have to put the filter holder somewhere on your counter to store while you put the lid on. There's no digital controls or bells & whistles. The thing it does right is always heat the water to the right temperature & spray water on the grounds evenly so you get very good absorption in the coffee.
If those things don't matter to a great degree then I'd buy something else. But it works very well for me.
The BUNN ST Velocity usually comes pretty highly recommended when you're looking for a very good basic Carafe. It heats the water to the proper 200 degrees F.

Chelsea Houska Makes Plans to Meet Up With Maci Bookout's Ex Boyfriend!
Guys, prepare for a Teen Mom hang sesh the likes of which you've never seen. That's right, it looks like Chelsea Houska is gearing up for a major bond-a-thon with Maci Bookout's ex-boyfriend, Kyle King!
Turns out Kyle might be making an appearance at The Vault Nightclub in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Chelsea is more than a little pumped up. "Kyle?! Gonna come to good ol south dakota?!" Chelsea tweeted on December 7, to which Kyle cagily responded, "I dunnno ?! should I??"
Seems like Chel-Chel is super eager for Kyle to visit her (she tweeted, "Yep! Sioux falls can be a pretty good time"), but would their hang session be slightly strange? After all, Maci and Kyle didn't exactly end their relationship on good terms (they aren't even following each other on Twitter), and Maci might be uncomfortable with her ex hanging with a co-star.
What do you think, gang: Should Chelsea hang with Kyle?

Two wounded men are treated by their friends after two rockets hit their houses in Beirut May 26, 2013. (The Daily Star/Mohammed Azakir)
BEIRUT: Despite the twin rocket attacks on Shiyah Sunday morning, life went on as usual in the Beirut southern suburb, with people leaving their homes and going about their usual errands.
Just a few kilometers away from the scene of the rocket attacks that struck Shiyah at around 7 a.m., people were busy trading and buying goods at the open market in the Ghobeiry Bazaar.
One of the rockets hit a car dealership located near Mar Mikhael Church while the other struck a residential balcony in the Maroun Misk neighborhood.
"We heard the explosions in the morning but we can't afford to close our shops," said Ahmad Yaghi, a merchant working at the Sunday market.
When asked who might be behind the attacks, Yaghi said: "All possibilities are likely. ... It could be the Nusra Front or those who call themselves the Free Syrian Army. Did you not hear Sayyed's speech yesterday?" He was referring to Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah's address made just 12 hours before the rocket attacks.
In a speech to mark Liberation Day Saturday, Nasrallah confirmed Hezbollah's large-scale involvement in President Bashar Assad's battle with Syrian rebels. The speech was televised to a rally in Mashgara in the Bekaa Valley
Last week, Syrian troops backed by Hezbollah fighters launched a massive offensive against the rebel-held town of Qusair just 10 kilometers away from the border with Lebanon.
In his speech Hezbollah's secretary-general also said the recent fighting represented a "new phase" in the party's involvement, one that aimed to fortify the resistance and protect its "backbone," or the Syrian regime, from the takfiri groups that, Nasrallah said, comprised the majority of the Syrian rebels.
Acknowledging the repercussions that might result from the party's stance, Nasrallah said: "We will assume this responsibility and endure all the sacrifices and consequences that come with taking such a stance."
People gathered on a bridge overlooking the Mar Mikhael Church, where one of the rockets hit a car dealership nearby, to observe the area now cordoned off by the Army and exchange thoughts about what had happened.
"One of the rockets fell on the balcony of an apartment on Maroun Misk Street. Luckily no one got hurt," said Abu Ali, as he pointed to the site of the second explosion and lamented that the four wounded from the attacks were Syrians.
"They are just workers who sleep there, they do not need more misery."
Some of the residents were shocked that the attacks managed to "take them by surprise" and were "unexpected," in an area that had been subjected to unprecedented bombing during the 2006 July War with Israel.
"I am still shocked, to be honest, I did not see this coming. ... It took us by surprise because we were not expecting incidents of the sort," a man who works at a car dealership near the site of the explosion said.
"Some of the cars belonging to our neighbor were damaged," said Ali Remeh, who works at the Tarraf dealership located close to the Mar Mikhael Church.
"What a shame, they are trying to terrorize us because of the sayyed's [Nasrallah's] speech," he said. "During the July War, we were never scared. We will not be now, that is for sure."
The perpetrators of the attack have not yet been identified, and the Free Syrian Army spokesman Louay Meqdad denied any involvement when contacted by The Daily Star. Shiyah residents initially suspected the FSA of being responsible for the attacks.
The launch sites of the 107-mm rockets used in the attacks were located by a Lebanese Army base in the woods of Aitat, in Mount Lebanon.
Caretaker Interior Minister Marwan Charbel, who arrived at the scene an hour after the attacks, said the incident was an "act of sabotage" and was meant to raise already festering tensions in the country.
Raja Ibrahim, who works for a valet parking service company in the Beirut neighborhood of Gemmayzeh, said he was coming back home early Sunday morning after having breakfast with friends when he saw that people had gathered around the areas targeted by the rockets.
"Some of them were trying to make sure no one got hurt and others were afraid that more rockets would strike," Ibrahim said. "It would be OK if Israel was behind the attacks, but if the perpetrators are locals, this would be very bad. ... We cannot point fingers yet, let us wait."

October is Statewide Parent Visitation Month in Alabama and the Mobile County Public School System is inviting parents and others to The 4th R: The Relationship Between Family and School by attending special school events during the month of October.
With research that shows students achieve more when parents are involved in their education, the Mobile County Public School System will participate in the Alabama Department of Education's Statewide Parent Visitation Month on October 24, 2011. While the event is referred to as "Parent" Month, anyone responsible for raising school-aged children is welcome to attend. The theme for the event is The 4th R: The Relationship Between Family and School.
The Mobile County Public School System has planned special events as a way of informing adults of the importance of their involvement in their school-aged children's education. October has been set aside for special activities aimed at getting parents and others to invest in their children's education and learn more about what goes on in their children's lives while they are at school.
The Mobile County Public School System will join with Alabama public schools/systems across the state in hosting The 4th R: The Relationship Between Family and School Statewide Parent Visitation Month events. "The goal is to connect home and school better," said former State Superintendent of Education Joseph B. Morton. "Parent involvement-now more than ever-is a key factor to student success in school year-round. By setting aside a specific month, our public schools can focus on the importance of parent involvement and investment in their children's education."
Scheduled sessions include local and state initiatives such as the Alabama Reading Initiative, Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative, school policies,safety issues and several Parent Universities across the system.
To learn more about The 4th R: The Relationship Between Family and School Statewide Parent Visitation Month and parent involvement opportunities throughout the school year, contact your local school or school system (mcpss.com or Paula Reese at email@example.com)

As a new volunteer respite parent, I had the opportunity to attend the Murphy High School Parent Meeting last week. The meeting was really informative and and I found great information about the goals our school has set for the 2011-12 school term. I also heard about several resources and opportunities available for our students and parents...As a teacher, I am also very grateful for the parents and staff present. Attendees and presenters were focused and direct in setting their goal to see our students succeed!
Thank you for planning this activity. It will do wonders for both students and parents

School Issued Laptop Webcams Spying On Kids At Home
As laptops become more common in schools, the technology available to those computers may pose threats you'd never think of. What about the faculty of a school which issues laptops to their students then using the technology available to watch the students at home, without their knowledge. Just how far are we going in this country in our attempt to watch everyone, even illegally, just so we can catch someone doing something wrong. Believe it or not, this very situation has created a class action lawsuit in Pennsylvania...
Pennsylvania: A Lower Merion family has set off a furor among students, parents, and civil liberties groups by alleging that Harriton High School officials used a webcam on a school-issued laptop to spy on their 15-year-old son at home.
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court, the family said the school's assistant principal had confronted their son, told him he had "engaged in improper behavior in [his] home, and cited as evidence a photograph from the webcam embedded in [his] personal laptop issued by the school district."
The suit contends the Lower Merion School District, one of the most prosperous and highest-achieving in the state, had the ability to turn on students' webcams and illegally invade their privacy.
While declining to comment on the specifics of the suit, spokesman Douglas Young said the district was investigating. "We're taking it very seriously," he said last night.

This is an essential app for anyone interested in barbecue grilling.

GrillTime - Grill Timer for Steak, Chicken, & BBQ

The Pit Pal BBQ App - Grill & Smoker Management and Barbecue Log
by Brian Munter
This universal app is wonderful whether you are barbecueing in your back yard, cooking in a competition, or catering a party. The Pit Pal BBQ takes the history of tracking your grilling and cooking into account, such as what wood or sauce/rub combos you were using or what the weather was like while you were cooking. This information becomes helpful when you need to grill again because you are able to look back on what you may want to tweak a bit. Save photos, add notes and temperatures, and more. The app also has direct interaction with the BBQ Guru CyberQ Wi-Fi.

That technique relies on a high-speed camera that takes as many as 20 images per second, then on a computer that sifts out the sharpest and combines them into a final view.
"These are the sharpest images ever taken either from the ground or from space," lead researcher Craig Mackay of the University of Cambridge's Institute of Astronomy said in a statement.
The technique has produced sharper images than those in space and is vastly less expensive. The 200-inch Hale Telescope at Caltech's Palomar Observatory, built in the 1940s, ordinarily produces images 10 times less detailed than those of the Hubble Space Telescope. But the lucky camera produces double the resolution--combined with existing technology called adaptive optics that compensates for some atmospheric distortion, the researchers said.
The technique will work on larger, more modern telescopes such as those at the European Southern Observatory in Chile and the Keck telescopes in Hawaii. "The low cost means that we could apply the process to telescopes all over the world," Mackay said.
Adaptive optics works well for infrared light, but the Hubble beats out the Palomar telescope for light visible to humans. The lucky imaging system produces better material for the adaptive optics system to work with, the researchers said, with the result that the Palomar telescope comes out ahead.
Lucky imaging has been around as a concept since the 1970s, but it's only been possible now through the development of a new generation of image sensors that combine high sensitivity with low electronic "noise" that degrades the image with spurious speckles. The Cambridge-Caltech team used a sensor made by E2V Technologies, the researchers said.

- Old Technology in a new box--not newsworthy
- The LAMP system seems to be an interesting application of several technologies that have been around for years and placed them all in use in one system in hi resolution.
For a few thousand dollars an amateur astronomer may utilize the same technologies. Admittedly on a smaller telescope, with lower resolution, but I ask CNET: Is this really news?

How is it not news? How many billions have they spent on Hubble? Now we have ground-based systems that are producing double the resolution for a few thousand dollars.
The real news here is that no one thought of doing it sooner, and how many billions of dollars on Hubble could've been re-directed to searching for alternative energy sources, for example.
Of course it's news. It's big news.

- Old Technology.... Sure
- I was suprised to find out something like this hasn't been used up till now. I bought a 5" telescope in December and have been looking at systems that do that on a small scale. Seems strange it would take "real" astronomers this long.

opinionBy Udo W. Froese
IT is precisely 100 years today in 2013 since the Native Land Act of 1913 provided some 13% of barren land to indigenous black Africans in South Africa and 87% of good quality land, rich in a host of resources, to whites, originating from colonial-settler occupation.
Today, South Africa has the largest white population in Africa, but they make up only 11% of the total population.
As the Union of South Africa was awarded the former German colony of German South West Africa immediately after WW1 as C-Mandate, the same laws applied to its newly received addition, today's Namibia.
Namibia's president Hifikepunye Pohamba acknowledged the land problem in an interview with the television news network, Al Jazeera, "Inequality exists and people are not happy. When you talk about people not being happy, what do you expect? ... When they react, then those who have the land will not have the land (much longer). People will take over the land."
When asked about the national land issue, Namibia's retired and founding president, Sam Nujoma, impatiently pointed out in an interview with the SADC weekly newspaper, 'The Southern Times': "We thought when we adopted the policy of national reconciliation, those whites who remained with us in Namibia, would also accept our policy of land reform, but we see now they are sabotaging land reform."
After WW1 during land negotiations with the South African representative in South West Africa (Namibia) and the local population groups, the late Chief of the Herero people, Hosea Kutako, explained his frustrations in his interview with the revered South African journalist and political leader, the late Ruth First in her book on Namibia simply titled, "South West Africa": "How is it that when we inhabited South West Africa, and the Coloured people (Rehobothers) were wanting land and came to Chief Samuel Maherero, he gave them a country to live in which had open water. Now you (a certain official from South Africa, Mr Cope) want to drive us to places where there is no water. When the Coloured people came they were only a handful, but because they had a land given them by us they are becoming a big people. Why do you not do for us what Chief Samuel Maherero did for them?"
In her research Ruth First established that "The South African government had never displayed the slightest intention of conceding any African claim to their land. It had initiated instead White settlement (from South Africa) with feverish speed, contrived the submission of the tribes with one makeshift after the other, and meanwhile manipulated the alienation of their land."
Land ownership creates not only national stability, but also economic growth, reduction of unemployment and commitment to one's country. It is also essential for the national food supply in order to ward off starvation. So too is it an integral part of freedom, democracy and basic human rights. Without land ownership there is simply put, nothing at all.
The foreign "Contact Group" consisting of the UK, US, Canada, Germany and France at the return of Namibia to its original people under a democratically elected SWAPO Party, had created that irresponsible land condition of "willing- seller, willing-buyer". This was done to ensure that SWAPO as the majority people's movement having fought against colonial-apartheid occupation would not be able to deliver on one of its main grievances of national land redistribution. It was clear then that the West backed colonial-apartheid South Africa.
Since then a disingenuous and dishonest sector of Namibia's privileged owners of its economy, land and media have been badgering the SWAPO Party led government, blaming the administration in Windhoek for all the shortcomings such as high unemployment, inadequate educational and medical care systems and a host of other 'non-deliverables'.
Yet, the restrictive obstacles including foreign land ownership of prime land, 'willing-seller, willing-buyer', foreign ownership of mineral rights, are never researched and criticised, particularly not by the corporate mainstream media. According to Namibia's Land Tribunal, it is obvious sabotage, which could lead not only to national frustration, but also to national unrest and food shortages.
To add insult to injury, many commercial farmers as well as foreign mining magnates threaten economic warfare, legal actions and huge discreditation campaigns against the ruling party leaders and structures, while nefarious legal transactions of land ownership "from one close-cooperation to another without seeking clearance from the state", as advocate Dirk Conradie explained to New African's correspondent in Windhoek, Mabasa Sasa, in the newsmagazine's latest February 2013 edition.
Meanwhile, not only Namibia's, but Zimbabwe's and South Africa's corporate mainstream media ignores this crucial issue and misleads its buying clientele about the seriousness of the land problem.
In the case of South Africa, the much-hailed constitution and the judiciary are abused in favour of neo-liberal racist actions against any form of redistribution, particularly in Zimbabwe.
One of South Africa's NGOs, Afriforum, for example acted on behalf of a disowned Zimbabwean land baron. The acting judge accepted that charge and cleared the way to attach one of the official government houses of Zimbabwe in Cape Town to enforce the return of the land to its former owner.
The warnings issued by Namibia's former, and current, head of state and the frustrations of the original land owners would have to be taken seriously and addressed with urgency, or else face not only national unrest, but regional instabilities and eventual food and other resource shortages.
Progress could be made which would bring about a win-win situation for all involved without any threats of local and international disinvestment and already discredited court actions.
It is said in old-fashioned Latin, "Quit sit illegitimi carbor undum" - translated into English, "Don't let the bastards wear you down."

Russia Strongly Rejects US Accusations over Human Rights
Pyongyang, November 4 (KCNA) -- The United States has recently got overheated in an anti-Russia human rights campaign, fanning up the feud and antagonism between the two countries.
In November 2009 a lawyer, who was arrested on charges of illicit fortune, suddenly died of illness while getting a preliminary interrogation in Russia. He was engaged in an international financial company.
It is reported that this case is now under investigation in Russia and so the court has not yet made a judgment on him.
Nevertheless, the U.S., styling itself as a "human rights judge", made an issue of the case to slander Russia over "human rights situation". It is advertising that in Russia prisoners would die under preliminary interrogation without being tried and judged.
Other Western countries follow the suit of the U.S. to flail Russia.
The government of Russia rebutted the accusations by the U.S. and other western countries, claiming that such action, aimed to give pressure on state institutions of Russia, is an organized political provocation which has nothing to do with respect for human rights or probe into the case.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov rejected the U.S. State Department's examination of a resolution on imposing sanctions on official figures of Russia as interference in its internal affairs.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Russia would not allow any attempt to meddle in investigation by judicial organs and give pressure on relevant organs, but take prompt counteraction if the U.S. applies sanctions.
The first vice-chairman of the International Affairs Committee of the State Duma of Russia accused the U.S. of sowing discord in the Russia-U.S. relations by means of such illegitimate method with a view to bringing the relations to the line of the Cold War or making them go beyond it.
The Russian Foreign Ministry in a statement on Oct. 22 said that a list of U.S. citizens Russia confirmed as persona non grata on the principle of reciprocity was ratified.
If the U.S. opts for visa confrontation, Russia has no other choice but to extend the list, it added.

In order to understand ourselves we must know what went wrong. We are not what we were intended to be. We have fallen from our original perfection.
The first thing we need to realise is that temptation comes from outside man. God did not introduce sin into the world, neither did he tempt man (James 1:13). Sin is an invasion of God's perfect creation.
According to the Bible this invasion has a personal source: Satan (Genesis 3:1, Revelation 20:2).
Satan is an Angel.
We are created creatures (Genesis 1:26). We are not here of our own free will. God has designed, built and placed us here in His creation. We are property, the same as a car or a toaster in our own home. Do we not have power over those things that we own ? Do we not expect them to perform their tasks for us ? If they fail, do we not throw them out ? In the same way, God owns us and has power over us to make of us whatever he pleases (Romans 9:21).
Sin therefore is nothing less than open rebellion against God. When we reject God and follow our own purpose, we sin.
THE CONSEQUENCES OF SINThere are five basic consequences of the entry of sin in the world:
As sin is open rebellion against God there can be only one solution to it. We must repent of our rebellion and turn again to God. Unless we repent of our rebellion we shall all perish (Luke 13:3). It is by God's mercy that He allows us to restore our allegiance to Him.
God sent His Son Jesus to offer himself as a ransom for every man, woman and child (1 Timothy 2:6) and give them an opportunity to be free from sin, "for by the offense of one man judgment came upon all men. So by the righteousness of one man the free gift came upon all men unto justification and life" (Romans 5:18). Thus Jesus has become the "Saviour of the World".
However, this is only half of the solution. We must also yield our rebellious nature to Jesus so that He becomes Lord of all. God rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He pleases (Daniel 4:25). In this case He has handed all things to His Son (Matthew 28:18) and committed all judgement to Him so that all men should honour the Son and anyone who does not honour Him does not honour the Father who sent Him (John 5:22-23).
Therefore, God's solution to sin is two fold:
So both faith and submission are involved. Faith that God loves us and has made provision for us through Jesus and submission to God's new order established through His Son's Kingdom. As it is written, "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved" (Romans 10:9).
We are all guilty of rebellion. The real trouble is that many of us deceive ourselves that we can continue this rebellion right under God's nose and still think we can escape His justice. We ask God's forgiveness, justifying ourselves by Jesus sacrifice, without ever turning away from our rebellious attitude. We are still following our own purpose and not turning again to God's Purpose.

And You Call Yourself a Film Buff?! BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S
Having never seen an Audrey Hepburn film before, the only image of her I have in my head is, of course, the sleek black dress, the ornate pearl necklace, and the dark sunglasses from Breakfast at Tiffany's. I've always associated this photo with Hepburn's status as a style icon, as opposed to the film it spawned from. Finally seeing the movie that helped make her a legend was actually an interesting and surprisingly enjoyable experience.
Breakfast at Tiffany's definitely brought out the girl in me. I couldn't help but fall in love with Hepburn's Holly Golightly, with her nonchalance and breezy way of talking. Who cares that she's kind of a prostitute and only associates with the wealthiest of New York socialites? I have respect for a woman who does what it takes to get what she wants, even if her methods aren't exactly ethical. I was also seduced by the fashion. I'm a big fan of 60's fashion, so I was in heaven watching the women of the film dressed in elegant gowns and form-fitting dresses, with their hair in chic up-dos. If I had a chance to go back in time to any era I wanted for a shopping spree, it would be the 60's.
Then, of course, there's the infamous Mr. Yunioshi, played by a completely unrecognizable Mickey Rooney. As soon as his character stumbled his way on screen, my mouth gaped. At first, I had no idea it was Mickey Rooney. I thought it was just a really bad Asian actor. Then I discovered from the ever-faithful Wikipedia that it was Mickey Rooney with a prosthetic mouthpiece and "yellowface" makeup. No one ever really commented on the offensiveness of this portrayal until the 1990's, which sort of shocks me. Mr. Yunioshi was not meant to be an ironic, self-deprecating character – it was simply racist. A more recent example of this might be Robert Downey, Jr. as a white actor playing a black character in 2008's Tropic Thunder, although the ridiculousness of this casting choice is commented on throughout the film. Mr. Yunioshia, however, is just a white actor doing an over-the-top and insulting impression of an Asian man.
Despite Mr. Yunioshi, I was pleasantly surprised by Breakfast at Tiffany's. It was edgier and sexier than I had expected and lived up to the kind of story I would expect from Truman Capote. It was more than a silly romantic comedy, thankfully. It transported me to another time and made me fantasize about a fabulous life filled with fashion, booze, cigarettes, and fancy New York parties. It's no wonder to me now why Audrey Hepburn is one of the most famous actresses of all time and why the image of her graceful looks and elegant style lives on.
