can i connect my ps3 to this so it can work on my imac 27"
- Asked by Ali H from Ottawa
Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
Yes I tried it, for me there wasn't any sound though. The iMac 27 inch supports input and output . Apple said in the specs "27-inch models also support input from external DisplayPort sources (adapters sold separately)".
- Answered by Raymond W
The Mini Display Port is output-only so no, you cannot plug your PS3 into your iMac using this adapter. You would need some sort of TV-Input device.

The Cornelius Animal Shelter Alliance (CASA) gave town officials a $9,600 check Friday for the Cornelius Animal Shelter, a move that CASA says ends its support of the facility. The money will help pay for more than 200 "nose to tail" animal intake exams, as well as any shots and tests needed when the animals arrive, CASA President Bruce Forrest said.
The timing is good, he said, because many animals give birth in late spring and early summer, so the shelter often sees a surge in new animals.
For the past 2 1/2 years, the nonprofit has supported the shelter through fund-raisers such as last August's Commodore Cover Dog competition and a golf tournament sponsored by Walgreens. It has also provided volunteers to help in all aspects of running the shelter.
The check presented Friday will be the last substantial donation to the shelter from CASA, as the organization is dissolving this May, Mr. Forrest said. He emailed volunteers this week to inform them of the change and to start planning for the dissolution.
"It hurts like hell," Mr. Forrest said, but he is proud of the work CASA has done. Over the last year it has become increasingly difficult to work with the town, he said.
CASA was a major supporter of the drive to build a permanent animal shelter in Cornelius. A year ago, the town restructured how it manages the shelter, including its relationship with CASA.
May 19, 2010, "Amid tension, Cornelius limits shelter volunteers."

Greenville, SC (PRWEB) October 17, 2012
The annual holiday mind-wrenching exercise of choosing the right gift for senior loved ones is here once again. This year more than ever, though, the technology industry offers gift ideas that many aging adults will not only use but from which they'll receive benefits. Senior Care Corner has tips for family members to help in selecting just the right present this year.
"Tech devices are ready for prime time, and the needs of prime timers", says Barry Birkett of Senior Care Corner. "They are more accommodating physically than before and offer applications that can make the devices as indispensable for seniors as for their younger family members."
"These technology gifts, if selected with the needs and interests of the recipients in mind and made immediately useful, can be welcome additions to the homes of senior loved ones" says Birkett, "and they can make aging in place in one's own home not only more enjoyable but also safer and healthier for many older adults."
About Senior Care Corner
Senior Care Corner (on the web at SeniorCareCorner.com) provides solutions, information and tools to family caregivers and others who care for and about senior adults to help them improve the lives of the seniors in their lives. Their blog, biweekly podcast and bookstore address a wide variety of topics family caregivers can use to better understand the wants and needs of their senior loved ones.

Back in spring, a pipe in our front yard's sprinkler system burst. We tried to water the lawn by hand all summer, but we failed miserably and it died.
Long story short, we decided to put in new sprinklers and grass, and the whole process took the rest of summer, and all of autumn.
Yesterday, thanks to the the shockingly popular 8×10 sale, we finally laid down the sod, and turned our horribly ugly dirt lot into a beautiful front lawn.
Anne and I could never have done this on our own, and I want to publicly thank my friends and family who came over and spent their Saturday putting down almost 3,000 square feet of grass:
- Darin. You arrived at 7AM, and stayed until the sun went down. In addition top helping out, you kept me calm, each time I was sure we were doing it wrong and everything would die.
- Shane. Even though you had a wedding to attend in the afternoon, you came and helped. Your Cal Tech brain was most useful in ensuring we did our work as efficiently as possible. Good call on "The Buddy System."
- Jeremy. I didn't know you had to work in the afternoon and evening, but you came and helped anyway. Thank you for making me laugh hard all day.
- Jenn. I still can't believe that you worked while we all ate lunch. You were the last person to leave, and you helped me clean up the driveway. Thank you.
- Mom. Finally, you have first-hand experience being that "ditch digger" you always warned us against becoming when we were kids. 60 feet of trench is 59 feet more than I could have done on my own.
- Michelle. The layer of sod, the leveler of ground, the bringer of Krispy Kremes.
- BURNS! You helped us all morning and well into the afternoon, and then went and worked a long shift last night. You're always there for us when we need help, except for that one time you forgot…but after yesterday, we'll never speak of that time again.
- Dad. I'm glad that you didn't kill yourself surfing, and that you came all the way to our house from Rincon. The caution tape clearly and politely says, "Stay the fuck off my new lawn, you little creeps" to all passersby.
As I stood in my driveway last night, looking across my beautiful new lawn, I felt a pride in my house that I haven't felt in over a year. It just looks beautiful, and we never could have done this without the help that you guys gave us…and that's the best part of all of this, IMHO: you guys all gave up your Saturday to help us out, and you all worked harder than I ever expected. You guys are awesome.
Thank you.

Drinar Varyon's Dwemer Artifacts

|Drinar Varyon's Dwemer Artifacts
|Quest Giver
|Imsin the Dreamer
| Buckmoth Legion Fort
|Next Quest
|Rescue Joncis Dalomax
|+5 (Imperial Legion)
|+10 (Imsin the Dreamer)
|Imperial Legion
Find proof that Drinar Varyon in Ald'ruhn is a smuggler of Dwemer artifacts.
Quick walkthroughEdit
- Speak to Imsin the Dreamer in Buckmoth Legion Fort about Orders.
- Travel to Ald'ruhn, and search Drinar Varyon's house.
- Grab the Dwemer Tube hidden among the red pots on the table.
- Return to Imsin the Dreamer and report your findings.
Detailed walkthroughEdit
Imsin the Dreamer in the Buckmoth Legion Fort will ask you to find proof that that Drinar Varyon is smuggling artifacts through Ald'ruhn.
Find Evidence of SmugglingEdit
If you've done some of the Hlaalu faction quests, you might already know that Drinar Varyon is a smuggler. At any rate, you'll need to enter Drinar's house and have a look around (his house can be found on the west side of Ald'ruhn, by the Ald Skar Inn). The door is unlocked, and Drinar is home. The locked chests contain some raw ebony, but chances are that opening them and taking the ebony will start a fight, which will greatly reduce your reward. Even if you do manage to steal the ebony, it won't count towards completing the quest. You can, however, find a single Dwemer Tube among the red pots on the large table near Drinar, who won't notice when you take it.
Return to ImsinEdit
Return to Imsin with the evidence (the Dwemer Tube) to complete the quest.
- If you kill Drinar, Imsin is disappointed but impressed with your honesty in admitting it: you receive five Legion reputation points and her disposition still increases by five.
- There are also lines of dialogue describing Vorar Helas as the smuggler, scripts to update the quest when he is killed. Evidently at one stage he was the quest target instead of Drinar.

Kinsler unfazed about possible position switch
NOV 15, 2012 6:51p ET
He's been playing lots of golf. He's been getting ready for the holidays. He's been spending time with his family.
One thing Kinsler hasn't done is concern himself with a possible position switch with the Rangers.
"It's not my job to think about that," Kinsler said. "It's my job to play baseball."
Kinsler said the club hasn't contacted him about switching positions. Moving Kinsler to the outfield would free up a spot at second base for super prospect Jurickson Profar if the club thinks Profar is ready to play in the majors every day.
Kinsler has been the Rangers' everyday second baseman since he began his big league career in 2006. He hit .256 this season with 19 home runs and 72 RBI this season, but also matched his career high with 15 errors.
Kinsler was in Dallas on Thursday with his wife Tess to host a Thanksgiving dinner at Family Gateway, which helps homeless families. The couple also provided winter clothes to children and birthday gifts to children as part of the Birthday Party Project.
"When it comes to the holiday season and it comes to giving to the people, there's nothing better than that," said Kinsler, who has begun his offseason workouts. "This is our opportunity to give back and to help some people out. There are a lot of lessons to be learned.
"There's really no place better to be during the holiday season. It's extremely important. It has nothing to do with the amount of money you have, where you live or what you drive or anything like that. It has to do with providing something that other people can't provide for themselves. It makes you feel great and it makes them feel great."

Have lived here for 4 years and love it. The staff is good and I love the store. It is close to my job and my friends. Will renew my lease.
Last Updated: 04/05/12
I also like it here. I never have any problems. The building Im in has good tenents and we get along. when the maintenance has been here they do a great job and are real nice. When dealing with the office i make sure I get things in writing and am clear on what they tell me. i think the problems people have are with apts closer to the playground. Im also in the back and its quiet here. It's true my 1st year rent was way cheaper but I had a great move in deal. that doesn't last forever though. I knew the 2nd year would be higher. The only complaint I have is with someof the tenents themself not the apts.

If you have no clue what batch is, but want to learn it, refer to the "Very Basic Batch Tutorial".
In this tutorial you will learn more advanced commands and how to use them to create an application.
Step 1: Variables Step (1/3)
When we create a variable, we are creating something that we want the computer to remember for us, something that we can use later on in a program;
we give the computer the value that we want to store and we give it a label to store it under.
we can create integers and strings using variables.
To create a variable you need to learn the SET command.
The SET command is what creates variables;
SET name=value
Type the following into your CMD:
SET name=hello
'name' is the name of the variable, and 'hello' is what the variable is storing
so now every time you type "echo name" it should say "hello" yes?
if you want to display a variable you must put percentage (%) signs around it.
So therefore if you type "echo %test%" and it should say "hello" yes?
Step 2: Variables Step (2/3)
we type
set num=1
This creates a variable called "num" with a value of 1 attached to it.
set num=%num%+1
(this means that we take "num" (aka 1) and make it num+1 (aka 1+1))
echo %num%
it should give us 2, right?
let's try it:
type the following in notepad and save as MathAttempt.bat
(do not include the stars (*))
@echo off
set v=1
set v=%v%+1
echo %v%
it should say 2, yes?
it says 1+1
because the computer interprets your command as:
you: "so num=1, right?"
pc: "right"
you: "so what is num plus one?"
pc: num+1 = 1+1
so the computer interprets your command literally.
i used the if %random%==1227 goto begin
set /a a=%random% %%!(limit of numbers that can be chosen) +1
example: set /a a=%random% %%!10 +1
it sets "a" to equal a random number between 0 and 10
SET /a Var=%RANDOM% %%max + min
That method uses modulo expressions to constrain the number.
If "max" had the value of 10, and "min" had the value of 1...
The variable "Var" would be a number between 1 and 10.
Amazing! :D Really funny and helpful tutorial!
What does /a mean?
Can you please explain to me what /p means??
hey admin,
I need to prepare a batch file to set Security policy in local policy of my systems
Can you help in this regards
Nice tutorials. I completed both of two for beginers.
this was really awesome, I got to learn a lot from both of your tutorials, this one & that of the basic one :)
so far I hav
@echo off
echo welcome to brian
echo brian will now add 4 1698 times
set/a num=4
set/a num=%num%+4
echo %num%
if %num%==6792 goto :end
goto :furt
echo you have reached 6792
echo continue?
set v1=goto :count1
set v2=goto :g
echo press 1 to continue
echo press 2 to stop
set/a nu=6792
set/a n=0
set /p you=
if %you%==1 echo %v1%
if %you%==2 echo %v2%
@echo off
echo welcome to brian
echo brian will now add 4 1698 times
set /a num=4
set /a num=%num%+4
echo %num%
if %num%==g792 goto end
goto furt
echo You have reached 6792
echo continue?
echo press 1 to countinue
echo press 2 to stop
set /a nu=6792
set /a n=0
set /p you=
if %you%==1 goto count1
if %you%==2 goto g
if %you%==1 %v1%
if %you%==2 %v2%
Is this your first computer?
-Cheers, Chris

I still haven't found a really good BBQ in NYC. Dallas BBQ is an equivalent to Applebee's BBQ. The restaurants are usually crowded and loud. I wouldn't recommend it!
Posted by nycgirl77 on 04/20/2011
This place was overcrowded and loud. One of the reasons I avoid the times sq area is b/c it's an overpriced over crowded tourist trap which is why you don't see many native new yorkers there that being said, the tables are practically on top of each other waiters are bumping into your chair when passing by and you can't even have a conversation b/c it's so loud and the music, etc. The food isn't bad but it's nothing to write home about either we ordered the hennessey wings and they were oversauced and way too big for an appetizer size. When our entrees came the plate was over crowded with food I only ate half of what I ordered and took the rest in a take out box. You do get a lot of food and this is without ordering the wild west platter so I would go hungry and skip the appetizers.I think I would prefer to go to their queens location less of a crowd and staff didn't want us using the regular doors on our way out they insisted we use revolving doors which is a pain considering the crowds. Pass this place up unless it's a time of the day where it's not so packed
Posted by Lui on 04/09/2011
Food itself was fine and delicious but all employees who worked at there was really rude. The store is huge and loud to death. Overall, ok restaurant but not highly recommanded.
Posted by Jennifer on 03/02/2011
We ordered a simple lunch, and they forgot our drinks. My friend ordered the CLT lunch special (under 500 cals) and instead of the veggie sides they gave FRIES! Forgot all condiments and forgot our sodas that we paid for. I called and they were loud, rude, and the music was blaring. Never ordering again!
Posted by Linda on 02/15/2010
I love this place. I would go back over and over. I always order the backed chicken with a baked potato. The service is great. Even when there is a long line the time seems to go by fast. You can always tell a good restaurant when people are waiting to get in. The drinks are great also.
Posted by Judy W. on 01/24/2010
The only good thing in this establishment are the drinks. They use absolutely no rub on their meats. No seasoning what so ever. And on top of that there's not 1 smoker in house. How can this be BBQ? BBQ is more than just the sauce. The sauce doesn't make it BBQ. Corn bread mix out of a large box made with water. What's that? I suggest that the master recipes be overhauled. I'll never refer anyone I know to this establishment.
Posted by Mrs. Reyes on 09/24/2009
I ordered chicken tenders w/ranch and fries, but instead got sticky honey tenders and NO FRIES. When I sent it back it took along time before they brought me tenders NO FRIES! When I asked to speak to the manager, he implied that I asked for the honey. I will never go back to that inexperienced location again.

This multi-billion dollar company is proof that generics can be big business. Although Teva saw its North America earnings power shrink to 48% of its sales in 2011 from 62% in 2010, the Israeli company balanced things out, increasing sales to 31% in Europe, up from 24% in 2010, and hauled in 21% of its take from international sales, compared with 14% the year before. Although the company remains solidly in the unbranded drug space, its $6.8-billion purchase last year of Cephalon and its CNS portfolio means more exposure to the brand side of the patent-protection wars, as CNS drugs Provigil, Copaxone and Treanda burn through their exclusivity periods. Teva dealt Par the right to sell an authorized generic of Provigil, meaning Teva earns from both ends of the patent spectrum. The company says it has 177 product registrations awaiting FDA approval—120 of these are patent challenges for first-to-market generic rights.

18 Seconds Was Great for Daniel Bryan
by, 04-05-2012 at 09:29 AM (6754 Views)
A lot have been said about the opening bout of Wrestlemania 28 when Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan for the WHC-title in 18 seconds. Most of it has been negative. But the way I see it it was a best case scenario for the American Dragon, and I will explain why.
But first, let me state that even though I understood the booking, I think whoever had the notion that this was the correct match to start the broadcast, probably needs to rethink his line of work.
I've seen several pundits describe it as a squash match. I disagree. To me a squash-match is a match where one competitor is vastly more dominant that the other. Clearly this was not the case here, as Sheamus bum rushed Bryan when his mind was elsewhere. It says nothing about the relative strengt between the two. This is important, and we'll get back to that.
First of all: The fate of Daniel Bryans reign as champion was sealed back in January when Sheamus won the Royal Rumble. There had been years since a Rumble-winner won his prize match at Wrestlemania. If this years winner had lost, winning the Royal Rumble would seriously start losing it's luster. After all, why strive to win the Rumble if you'ld just end up getting your ass handed to you at Mania? With Jericho brought back specifically to feud with CM Punk, that meant that the WHC would need to change hands on Wrestlemania.
Add to that the fact that Sheamus has been protected and booked like a superman for months. It has come to the point where, if he was to fight a triple threat against Conan the Barbarian and Our Lord and Savior Jesus H. Christ, the odds would at best be even money on the Irishman. There was no way they would halt that push now, especially against someone like Bryan.
Secondly, WWE would not want to risk to much cheering for their primary evil heel. A heel-face turn now would serve no storyline purpose for them.
Bryan has finally got over with the casual audience as a despicable character, and his kayfabe personality has few, if any, redeeming qualities. It would need a major rewrite to work as a face. The position as arrogant, freakishly good wrestler with obnoxious personality and unusual life choices has been filled. (How'ya doin' Punk?) After months of building Bryan as a grade-A douche-bag, WWE would not just wipe that of the blackboard in a retcon. Every heel/face turn needs an internal kayfabe-logic, after all.
Cody Rhodes might be a first class bully, but he picked on the big lumbering lummox Big Show, Daniel Bryan pour his vitriol on sweet, loveable AJ. And with Bryan dating Brie Bella, I would expect WWE to work that into the current storyline. I mean what draws more heat than an abusive boyfriend? An abusive, cheating boyfriend of course! It would be plenty of opportunities for backstage segments. E.g: AJ discovers Bryan coming out of Bries locker room, and he brushing her off, claiming he was just «scouting her opponents». His possesive personality would go into overdrive, and he would start fights out of jealousy every time she smiled to someone backstage. Let him dissect the NXT-jobbers, and show off his skills.
But back to Wrestlemania. WWE have a belt that has to change hands, a face they want to keep strong, and a heel they also want to protect to a certain degree, how to solve it?
One possibility could have been to book a DQ victory for Bryan, after he managed to push the berzerker button on Sheamus. That would leave him with the belt, but undoubtably weaken him somewhat. It would also necessitate a rewrite of the opening of the Punk/Jericho match.
Even worse from Bryans point of view would be the standard «feud-blow-off» booking of Sheamus going ballistic on him: Using him as his personal chew toy and punching bag for 6-7 minutes until the match was stopped. AJ could then wheel the bloody and toothless carcass of her boyfriend out of the arena. It would have been a proper closure to the feud, and been entertaining to watch, but Bryan would then be in a serious downwards spiral.
So they chose the smart solution. Sheamus surprising Bryan out of the starting gates and stealing the win before the champion knew what hit him. This way, Bryan can truthfully claim that the win proves nothing, that he's still the best wrestler of the two and that Sheamus was unsportsmanlike and lucky. And he would be right! In other words, his perceived strengths in the ring would not be in question, and he would not lose the same amount of momentum.
If Sheamus is to feud with Del Rio, have Bryan destroy Big Show and claim the Int'con championship. That would also underline his reign as World Heavyweight Champion, and give him the talking point that it's the second time in a year he takes a championship from Big Show.
So, I cannot see any way WWE could have delivered a longer match with Bryan and not hurt his reputation at the same time. Iin the long run, Bryan-fans should probably acknowledge that what WWE actually did was to protect Bryan to keep him in the main event picture.

America 2.0
(May through October sailing in NYC, November through April sailing in Key West)
Offering our most premium sailing experience, Schooner America 2.0 is the newest, largest, most elegant vessel designed for Classic Harbor Line. Added to the Classic Harbor Line fleet in 2011, America 2.0 offers the most exceptional day sailing one can find. She is the fastest, most refined, and the most comfortable schooner of the fleet.
The past meets the future aboard Classic Harbor Line's, Schooner America 2.0. She is modeled after one of the most famous maritime icons of all time, the winner of the first "America's Cup" of 1851, Schooner America.
The "2.0" aspect of the vessel refers to the eco-friendly nature of both her cutting-edge construction materials and her propulsion system created by the designers at Scarano Boat Building, of Albany, New York. Rather than finding a diesel-consuming engine room below decks, you find a large battery bank providing electric propulsion with smaller diesel assist-generators. If you peeled away her hull, rather than finding heavy fiberglass or steel, you'd find an extremely durable 3-layered composite: a sandwich of cedar over balsa core, laminated with an epoxy resin. Split on a horizontal plane, this light 3-layer composite makes up the upper 70% of the hull while the lower 30% is constructed of marine-grade aluminum. Furthermore, rather than a heavy wooden rig aloft, you find carbon-fiber masts, booms and gaffs. Together, these strengthening and lightening components of construction, coupled with her modernized power-sourcing, America 2.0 is provided with the ability to move through the water more effortlessly, efficiently and with minimal environmental impact.
Sail with America 2.0 in New York City May-October and sail in Key West Florida November - April!

It was unclear going into the season if the offense was going to be one of the strong points for the Mississippi State baseball team coming into the 2013 season.
On Friday, the question was answered in a positive way for at least the opener.
The No. 13 (College Baseball) Bulldogs slugged out 21 hits in a 16-1 route of the Portland Pilots (0-1) in the 999th win for the Bulldogs at Dudy Noble Field.
"I thought we swung the bat really well (Friday)," MSU head coach John Cohen said. "That's so important for guys to get off to a great start. Confidence in baseball is such a huge thing. Getting hits early in your at-bats is real important and that happened for us. We're very fortunate."
The Bulldogs have won 10-consecutive season openers. It is the sixth time in the last two seasons MSU has scored double digits. Â
MSU junior shortstop and Golden Spikes Award watch list nominee Adam Frazier led off the bottom of the first with a single to left field.Â
Sophomore first baseman Wes Rea didn't waste anytime and took the first pitch from Portland pitcher Matt McCallister (0-1) over the right center wall for a two-run home run to give the Bulldogs an early 2-0 lead.
"It was luck," Rea said. "He hung a curveball. It was a good start. I'm kind of a first pitch guy and he hung one."
It was Rea's sixth career home run and he extended his four-game hitting streak dating back to last year.
The Bulldogs blew the game open in the second inning, scoring seven runs on seven hits to make it 9-1 in the early going.
MSU sent 12 batters to the plate during the inning.
"It's huge for everybody," Rea said. "The question obviously was offense. It was a good thing to come out and swing the bats. The bats are hot. Hopefully, it will carry over."
MSU started sophomore left hander Jacob Lindgren on the mound. Lindgren went six innings to win his first decision of the season. He gave up one run on five hits. He walked three and struck out three batters.
"We have a really good staff," Lindgren said. "A lot of pitchers could have pitched opening day, but it was just an honor."
Lindgren was able to induce three inning-ending double plays when he found himself in jams. He was confident his defense was going to step up behind him.
"I was just really trying to attack their hitters, let my fielders do work and they produced," Lindgren said. "I was excited."
The Bulldogs led the nation a season ago with 71 double plays. They picked up right where they left off.
"That's who we are," Cohen said. "We spend so much time on that. Our kids just rally around that cause.
They just believe we are going to get double play balls. We have been very fortunate to do that. It's good to get off to that great start offensively."
Lindgren who only pitched 28.1 innings in 14 appearances last year was efficient with 65 pitches in his first outing of the season.
He didn't get his first 1-2-3 inning until the fifth.
"Jacob went out there and really wasn't as sharp as he's been for us," Lindgren said. "He kind of got a little more sharp as time went on over the course of the game."
Lindgren gave way to redshirt freshman right hander Preston Brown who pitched one solid inning.
Freshman righty Myles Gentry and senior left hander Chad Girodo also pitched one inning each.Â
The Bulldogs added two more runs in the third inning on a two-run shot down the right field line by junior center fielder C.T. Bradford.
Bradford missed a good bit of last season due to a shoulder injury. It had been awhile since Bradford had seen any playing time.
"C.T. came up to me during (batting practice) and said, 'Coach, I haven't played in 10 months,'" Cohen said. "I said that I didn't even think about that and thanks for reminding me. He really swung the bat well."
For Bradford, he was glad to get another opportunity to play and play against somebody other than his own teammates.
"We are just excited to get out there," Bradford said. "We've been playing each other for the past six months, so it was good to get out and play another team."
MSU scored one run in the fifth inning, three in the sixth and capped the scoring with one run in the seventh.
The Bulldogs had 12 different players get hits. Senior catch Mitch Slauter extended his seven-game hitting streak, dating back to last season, with a career-high four hits.
Frazier and junior third baseman Daryl Norris each had three hits.
The Bulldogs and the Pilots meet again today and Sunday. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. today and Portland will send the 2012 West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year Travis Radke, a sophomore left hander.
The Bulldogs will give the nod to junior righty Evan Mitchell.ÂView more articles in:

SANDUSKY, Ohio — As an amusement parks blogger, I have visited most of the big theme parks in Southern California and central Florida, but my roller-coaster résumé was a little thin when it came to the parks in between. So last summer my wife, Nancy, our 11-year-old daughter, Hannah, and I climbed aboard more than 70 coasters in 10 days at theme parks in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
We each had established a few rules for our journey across America's Coaster Belt. Hannah was willing to ride coasters reaching 65 mph, topping out at 200 feet and going upside down three times. Nancy wanted to avoid any and all spinning rides (except carousels, her favorite). And I would leave no coaster unridden.
By the time it was over, the trip had taken us to eight of the world's oldest amusement parks, where we rode nine of the world's top-ranked coasters as well as an extensive collection of pre-World War II attractions.
Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio
The trade publication Amusement Today has voted Cedar Point the world's best amusement park for more than a decade. With 16 roller coasters, it's called "America's Roller Coast."
Cedar Point, established in 1892 on a picturesque peninsula in Lake Erie, more than lived up to its top billing with beautifully manicured grounds, a stunning waterfront setting and an assortment of world-class rides.
After flying to Cleveland, we checked in at the Breakers Express, one of three hotels on the Cedar Point property. The next morning, we took advantage of the park's early entry for resort hotel guests and headed straight to Raptor, a looping steel beast with cars that hang from an overhead track.
I was glad to see that Hannah had set her limits early and exercised her prerogative to pass on Raptor, but I was surprised when Nancy jumped onboard, taking a head-first approach to our coaster trip.
Before our trip, I had picked Maverick as the benchmark coaster for Hannah with its modest height, speed and inversions delivering a high level of thrills for the tween set.
Fortunately I was right — Hannah and I both chose Maverick as our favorite coaster at Cedar Point. Nancy preferred the 300-foot-tall Millennium Force, which many aficionados consider the best steel coaster in the world.
Kennywood, West Mifflin, Pa.
The quaint Kennywood, which opened in 1898, is on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its collection of vintage wooden coasters and rare old rides; more than a dozen are pre-World War II.
Nancy voted Kennywood her favorite park on the trip. She loved the 1920 Jack Rabbit terrain coaster (as did Hannah), while I preferred the dueling 1927 Racer coaster with its ingeniously crafted continuous-track layout.
Idlewild, Ligonier Township, Pa.
In 2010, Amusement Today named Idlewild the world's best children's park, dubbing it the "King of the Kids."
Hannah's favorite ride was Mister Rogers' Neighborhood of Make-Believe, a one-of-a-kind attraction that takes visitors on a life-size trolley ride through the world of the beloved children's TV show.
Nancy and I enjoyed the 1938 wooden Rollo Coaster, which has been the first roller coaster for generations of kids at the idyllic 1878 park.
Lakemont Park, Altoona, Pa.
We traveled to Lakemont Park for one reason: to ride the 1902 Leap-the-Dips, the world's oldest operating roller coaster.
The rough, rickety and rundown Leap-the-Dips at the 1894 park was a throwback to the golden age of coasters when thrills were raw and wild. The 110-year-old ride represented everything I was searching for in my road trip across the Coaster Belt: history, tradition, rarity, excitement and fun.

Youth Lagoon – "Wondrous Bughouse"
People stop acting like children, for one thing, because they are conditioned to, out of some sort of perceived social necessity. Another reason though, is that years are added to a person's life in layers–piling on, relentlessly wrapping the individual in layer after layer of the harshness of life, slowly deadening them to the outside. An adult feels so much less than the average child because their life-shells have become thick, their lenses fogged. Where things were once bright, they become dim. Of course, that child is still inside, it's just hard to reach when they're enveloped by so much of the adult world.
Much like the cover artwork itself, Wondrous Bughouse resembles a trip through the depths of someone's psyche, with the childlike wonder still penetrating all the way through the filters of adulthood. The record starts out with two-and-a-half minutes of ominous chiming and vibrato from sources unseen and unknown. It drips and ebbs and fizzles out when all of the sudden, the dramatic melody of "Mute" kicks on. This moves into the less-standard fare of carnival sounds, airy highs, and unnerving lows that make up the rest of the album.
Youth Lagoon's central nervous system essentially lies in that of Trevor Powers, who has hit the sweet spot already with 2011's acclaimed The Year of Hibernation. Immediately, his second release for Fat Possum seemed to carry the scent of 'Clap Your Hands Say Yeah syndrome'; the first albums by each respective group were entirely unlike anything else on the market. They had melodies so catchy, they were almost familiar, but truly the product of people doing something new. They laid forth a profound and meaningful soundtrack that turned out to be exactly what the young audiences (of 2005 and 2011, respectively) were thirsting for.
One after the other, each song was a well-composed piece that stood up on its own, while beautifully building a cohesive long-player. They were produced in unconventional ways, but were still dealing in pop music. They had weird vocals that could've been annoying if they didn't fit so well (is anyone still following this metaphor?) Then, IN CYHSY's case, the band produced a second album that felt lackluster in comparison. Where the parallel ends is that Youth Lagoon's new record is different–but far from a letdown.
Though Wondrous Bughouse is a certain departure from previous successes, the new material moves into a deeper sonic territory that only makes sense as a progression. Where the first one is generally straightforward, Youth Lagoon in 2013 employs far more textures to create complex compositions, resulting in a dense listen. Each song is bursting at the seams with sound–the kind of sonic flood that would be overbearing if not arranged by a single person. Though Powers did have guest help in the form of minimal instrumentation, this is largely a solo effort, a singular vision. Nevertheless, it sounds like there's an entire orchestra playing along, and Powers is just the conductor at the head of it all. Tremolo'ed to the nth degree, bouncy synthesizers dance with playful sound effects, often burying the cartoonish vocals. It is generally head-spinning and quite trippy (I feel like these things need warning labels sometimes), but not in a '60s way. If we're getting into eras, parts of the album are reminiscent of the Big '80s more than anything else.
This music has a strong proclivity with childish whimsy, but beneath those top layers is a profundity that can only come from a person who's grappled with many life experiences. There's also a sense of copying, that this is a piece of art produced during a time of tribulations. The singsong-y childishness doesn't necessarily say that 'everything is alright' but it is a comforting presence amidst the heavier undertones. The album feels wrought with emotion, but the landscapes traveled are lush and rewarding.

Justin Garner, the "Standing Hero" of Carthage
Editor's Note:
Editor's Note: During National Police Week we naturally and rightfully focus on the officers who lost their lives in the line of duty. However, we also want to take some time to recognize one of the many heroes in law enforcement who continue on in their memory, working bravely and tirelessly to protect our communities. This is the story of Justin Garner, who despite being injured in a gunfight, not only lived but prevailed over his adversary. We encourage you to add your comments to the discussion below.

N.C. gunman stopped by single shot from cop
Gunman kills seven in N.C. nursing home, wounds one officer before being shot and apprehended
Immediate de-animation critical in some situations...active shooter calls among them
Questions to ask yourself in the wake of the N.C. active shooter incident
March 29, 2009 is a date to remember in Carthage, North Carolina. It was a warm sunny Sunday. The sky was clear in this Southern town of 2,000 people and the lone on-duty police officer, 25-year-old Justin Garner was observing traffic trickle toward church.
At about 10:00 a.m., the Moore County 911 dispatcher disturbed the Norman Rockwell-like setting with a report, "Shot's fired at 801 Pinehurst Avenue."
Justin, a four and a half year veteran of the Carthage Police Department steered his Dodge Charger patrol car toward the Pine Lake Health and Rehab Center for the elderly. His mind had not wrapped itself as of yet around the possibility that someone might be shooting inside the facility. Calls of this type were usually hunters mistakenly getting too close to town. When he rolled into the lot at the facility he a red Ford Ranger caught his attention. It had the driver's side window shot out and he knew something more serious was in store for him on this call than disoriented hunters.
Suddenly a female came running to the door and exclaimed that there was a man inside and "He is shooting people!" By the frantic look on her face she did not have to add, "This is not a drill."
"Stay Calm"
Justin Garner, who was the only officer on duty in Carthage, entered the rehab center.
He was met with dead silence. He said, "You could have heard a pin drop." As he moved further into the facility he could see no one near the front door other than an elderly woman in a wheel chair. When he checked on her he could see she had been shot in the chest. "She was gone," Justin recalled quietly moved by the haunting image,
"I saw there were elderly residents wandering about the facility, who did not have a clue what was happening. I knew that someone was shooting them and could not figure out why anyone would shoot them. They were like children...defenseless. I thought, 'I had to find this guy'," said Justin.
He reached the nurse's station and other than disoriented elderly patients he saw nothing and heard nothing to indicate where the gun man was. He instinctively stepped into one hallway and paused. Then he heard shots and the gunman appeared straight down the hallway he was in.
Gun Fight at Pine Lake Health and Rehab
The suspect, Robert Stewart, was carrying a 12-gauge shotgun and had a bag filled with ammunition strapped over his shoulder. He possessed a revolver in a holster, slipped in the middle of his back and he was hunting for his ex-wife, who was working in a locked down facility at the rehab center.
He had not found her and for some reason had chosen to shoot anyone he met. At the moment he turned to face Officer Garner, eight innocents lay dead and there were two more wounded. Stewart was determined there would be more killings and Justin was determined to end the violence in this, the most desperate moment of his life.
Justin raised and aimed his .40 caliber Glock 22. Stewart was loading shells into his shotgun and Justin shouted for him to "drop the weapon!" three times. Stewart turned, shouldered his weapon and brought it down to bear on Justin. At the same moment Justin fired once. Officer Garner did not hear his weapon fire and did not hear Stewart's weapon fire, but he knew Stewart had.
Justin felt a sharp sudden burning in his leg and foot, but instinctively moved into a doorway for cover. He was concerned Stewart might be advancing on him so he leaned out and saw Stewart was down and not moving. Justin had fired once and hit Stewart in the chest, incapacitating him.
He recalled, "I felt the burning in my leg, but it did not really, really hurt. I was still able to walk up and cuff the man."
In the initial scan of the area, it appeared the suspect was alone and conscious, but not moving. He had dropped the shotgun, but Justin found the revolver and removed it from Stewart's holster, unloaded it and slid it out of reach.
From the time of the call to the time Justin calmly reported that shots had been fired and the suspect was down four minutes had elapsed. He told dispatch that he was also wounded.
The Aftermath
Justin had been hit with pellets in the leg and one in the foot. He will be returning to light duty after about one month of recovery. He had never met Robert Stewart before, but has heard since that Robert had a tendency toward domestic violence.
He said the incident was tough on his wife of four years. She had been getting ready for church, when someone heard the call on the scanner and called his wife without much information other than "Justin has been shot."
He said the hardest part of dealing with the situation was realizing, "The man tried to kill me. Sleep did not come easy for a while, but it's getting better."
Justin has been recognized for his bravery by his High School Alma Mater, The Union Pine High School. He also received the "Standing Hero Award." It is given in the memory of Officer Tye Pratt of the Omaha P.D. Officer Pratt was killed in the line of duty.
Justin Shares His Insight
It is important to note that no one died after Justin located Robert Stewart. Justin suggests that to prepare for such an incident officers need to train. He said he had trained to respond to critical incidents like this one and his training came back to him. He did what he did in training and that helped him to remain calm.
When Justin had been involved in training for the active shooter he had wondered about whether such an incident could possibly happen to him. He observed, "I can say to everyone, it can." The training prepared him to calmly think what needed to be done and then do it. "I knew I had to remain calm and I did. I didn't rush."
He also said that he has been around firearms all his life and he was no stranger to shooting and that helped, when it counted.
A "Standing Hero"
It is fitting that Justin Garner, one of Carthage North Carolina's finest, was given the "Standing Hero Award." The citation on the award declares fittingly "America is the home of the free, because of the brave."
Justin Garner, the lone officer on duty, could not have imagined on that sleepy Sunday morning that he was going to be called upon to handle an in progress active shooter call. He did receive such a call and handle it he did, with undeniable courage and unmistakable skill. Justin was not fighting just for his own life. Many lives were depending on the outcome of this gunfight. All in that Rehab Center breathed a sigh of relief that, when the gun smoke cleared, that Officer Justin Garner was the "Standing Hero."

Mostly BJJ and grappling classes cover just the mat work and not takedowns so it really won't help your wrestling from neutral. I was trying to train in both last year and it kind of messed me up.
The good thing about BJJ is that it gets you more aware of moving your hips when you are working your submissions, and getting used to that makes you more mobile when you go back to amateur wrestling. But it also creates some bad habits (like going to your back or pulling guard off a takedown).

Overnight at Mt. Washington Observatory

VIDEO: Mt. Washington in Winter
You don't stay strangers when you pack together on a blue-sky morning in the cold cabin of a snow tractor rumbling up the eight-mile-long Mount Washington Auto Road at six miles per hour.
In places, the tractor has to break through 20-foot-high snow slabs, its enormous treads rolling over the mounds. Riding the snow tractor is not unlike being on a small boat in a storm-tossed sea.
Seven of us–four men, three women–have signed on for a Mount Washington Observatory "EduTrip," an expedition during which guests bunk and eat with weather observers in the most singular mountain environment in the world. We've come from Canada, Pennsylvania, Maine, and New Hampshire, packs stuffed with cold-weather gear. Crampons and ice axes are stacked in a corner of the tractor's cabin.
The few hundred people who reach the wind-pummeled winter summit find a beautiful, perilous place where storms sweep through with little warning and temperatures drop swiftly, as though you've left one country for another in the blink of an eye. Some visitors ignore the peril, treating a winter climb as though it's a jaunt. Too many of them end up with their names on a memorial wall in the Sherman Adams Summit Building, among the 140 who have died in the Presidentials, most of them on Mount Washington.
This EduTrip is called "Winter Mountaineering Essentials," a chance to learn how to move about safely on icy slopes and how to save our lives if we don't. Our leader is Joe Lentini; his assistant is Susan Beane, from the observatory staff office in North Conway. Joe is 55 years old, and for much of his life he's been climbing and guiding within sight of Mount Washington. Coming here with Joe Lentini to learn about winter mountaineering is like taking hitting lessons with Ted Williams in his prime.
On this morning, the higher we climb the deeper winter closes in. About eight hours earlier, the observers had clocked a wind gust of 104 mph. The day before it had been 113. But now the wind has subsided to a modest 50 or 60 mph. "A good trip is not beautiful weather," Joe reminds us. "That's not normal."
Joe tells a snow-tractor story while our driver, Gus, steers the beast upward. It happened, Joe says, maybe 20 years ago. On that day, a driver was taking two inexperienced visitors to the summit. About six miles along, a whiteout engulfed the road, and the tractor hit something hard. The driver climbed out of the tractor to investigate, being careful to keep a hand on his machine. Suddenly the wind knocked him away. No matter which way he groped, he could not find his way back. His only chance was to fight his way down. Hours passed. All the passengers knew was that their driver had left them, not to be seen again. All they heard was a terrifying wind; all they saw was the blinding white.
To get away from it all, come here. There's no it here, except the wind, ice, and snow. Everything wears a coat of rime, as if torn from a frozen planet. Then there's the startling warmth of coming indoors into the observatory, where now you smell hot soup, homemade rolls, and coffee brewing. The observers, interns, staff scientists, and Marty the cat share spare quarters, where obsessive monitoring of weather has been a mission since 1932. They're young, and nearly always a bit tired, since they work 12-hours shifts eight days straight.

Before returning to the US, Obama admitted that "instead of taking one step forward, we may have taken two steps back". But he promised to resume work "to build trust" so that countries would in future accept legally binding commitments.
Developing nations that had not taken part in the US-led talks responded to the text with fury, saying 25-nation accord was an affront to the consensus principle that governs these UN talks. The head of the Sudanese delegation, Lumumba Di-Aping, said: "Gross violations have been committed against participation on equal footing and against common sense. Industrialised nations have decided that damage to developing countries is acceptable."

Not your abs, your Amstel lager. Researchers in the Netherlands found that men who drank 2 pints of beer a day increased their HDL levels by 7 percent after only 10 days, and by 12 percent after 3 weeks.
"The exact way in which it affects HDL has never really been figured out, but the effect has been observed over and over again," says Norman Kaplan, M.D., a clinical professor of internal medicine at the University of Texas. What's more, says Dr. Kaplan, "beer contains components that reduce homocysteine levels in the blood [a risk factor for heart disease]."
Of course, beer does have its limits, as should you—stop at two glasses a day, unless you're celebrating something special, like a triple-digit HDL score.

Brilliant animation by UHS brings the overfishing problem to life with flair
The best infographics are able to take complex, nuanced and important data and present them in a clear and memorable way – looking good and communicating clearly are equally imperative if they are to have maximum impact. German studio UHS' animation for the Ocean2012 campaign organisation is tremendous, taking an issue most people are at least vaguely aware of and rendering it in a vivid, powerful way with some lovely creative touches along the way.

Rice linebacker could miss opener against Aggies
By Joseph Duarte | August 23, 2013
Photo By Eric Christian Smith/For the ChronicleRice linebacker Cameron Nwosu is being slowed by a knee injury.
Rice starting strongside linebacker Cameron Nwosu is questionable for the Aug. 31 season opener against Texas A&M because of a knee injury.
Nwosu, among the Owls' top players the past two seasons, has yet to practice in preseason camp following arthroscopic surgery late in the offseason. He suffered the injury in a non-football activity, coach David Bailiff said.
Bailiff said the Owls should know Monday if Nwosu will be available for the opener.
"It will be a decision where if he's not 100 percent we won't play him," Bailiff said Friday. "It's a long season."
Senior Michael Kutzler will start for Rice if Nwosu is unable to play, with James Radcliffe, Alex Lyons and Nick Elder also likely to see playing time.
"We're really comfortable with Kutzler," Bailiff said.

Apple just announced during its WWDC keynote that it's opening up its Touch ID fingerprint sensor on the iPhone to third-party app developers. Apple showed off the personal finance management app Mint (pictured above) using the Touch ID feature to allow users to login instead of using the keyboard to enter a password. Previously Apple limited this feature to its own App Store and iTunes purchases as well as unlocking the device itself.
Apple also shared some stats on Touch ID noting that it has improved security by getting a much higher number of users using a passcode to protect their device:
While there was no mention of payments specifically for third-party developer support, Cook hinted previously that payments via Touch ID could be on the way.

This. This. This. I've been waiting for this since day one, not only because I, myself have applications for it but because I use several 3rd party apps that would benefit from it. At the very least I expect my mobile banking app and 1Password to add support for it without much delay.
I'm very impressed with today's keynote but this was something I was really waiting for hear and pleased when I did.
I agree, OneOkami, I want this for ages…..

Caring for orchids is really a delicious appeal, and I would like to encourage you to learn more about why these are exceptional and Yes.. It is the one you are most likely to find in your local nursery. It is very popular and is usually in white flowers & viola. It is worth taking the time to learn a little about orchids before you go about trying to raise them.
For the novice orchid grower is a good way to learn how to take care of them as they grow and thrive plugs starting with orchids.
When getting a young orchid plant for the first time, try and find out as much about it as possible.
Know found in nature what types is very important as the type of environment.
From here you'll have a better idea what watering, temperature, light and humidity requirements it needs.
Fare a list of supplies you need for your orchid plants need.
This should include the correct potting mix and a specialized orchid fertilizer.
Keep useful a plant pesticides and fungicides in the event that your system is suddenly attacked by something.
Orchids generally need repotting once a year so there is no hurry to get another pot just yet.
A water sprayer is useful, because it is easier to control the amount of water you give your system.
It is essential that you get the potting mix right.
The most orchids do not grow in the gardens of ground standard or garden plants potting soil mixtures.
There are species of orchid that prefer a bark potting mix and others that prefer a sand mix.
Let plant in potting soil mix that you get always the young orchid.
Don't repot the plant until it has grown to a size where it has overgrown the existing pot.
When repotting, choose a larger pot size such as orchids do not like he of containers, which
are much larger then what they are.
Often young orchid plants are kept in potting media that appears quite dry.
This is done on purpose, to prevent fungal infections.
Orchid roots rot very easily if they are over watered.
It is much better to soak water system gradually over time, rather than a sudden, if the potting medium is very dry.
Because young orchid plants are not yet flowering, they require different light intensities to those needed by mature orchids.
If the lighting is too low, the leaves begin, turning a dark green color.
Gradually increase the light by changing the plant's position and when the leaves appear a healthy light green color then that should be fine.

An overhead projector (OHP) is a variant of slide projector that is used to display images to an audience.
Transparencies are placed on top of the lens for display. The light from the lamp travels through the transparency and into the mirror where it is shone forward onto a screen for display. The mirror allows both the presenter and the audience to see the image at the same time, the presenter looking down at the transparency as if writing, the audience looking forward at the screen. The height of the mirror can be adjusted, to both focus the image and to make the image larger or smaller depending on how close the projector is to the screen.
Older overhead projectors used a tubular quartz lamp body containing the filament only, which mounted above a bowl-shaped polished reflector. However because the lamp was suspended above and outside the reflector, a large amount of light was cast to the sides inside the projector body that was wasted and required a very large lamp for sufficient screen illumination. More recent projectors use an integrated lamp and conical reflector assembly that allows the lamp to be located deep within the reflector so that more light is focused towards the fresnel lens, allowing for a lower-power lamp.
The most recent innovation for overhead projectors with integrated lamps/reflectors is the quick-swap dual-lamp control, allowing two lamps to be installed in the projector in movable sockets. If during a presentation one lamp were to fail, the presenter can merely move a lever to slide the spare into position and continue with the presentation, without needing to open the projection unit or waiting for the failed bulb to cool before replacing it.
A major manufacturer of overhead projectors in this early period was the company 3M. As the demand for projectors grew, Buhl Industries was founded in 1953, and became the leading US contributor for several optical refinements for the overhead projector and its projection lens. In 1957 the United States' first Federal Aid to Education program stimulated overhead sales which remained high up to the late 1990s and into the 21st Century.
The overhead is typically placed at a comfortable writing height for the educator and allows the educator to face the class, facilitating better communication between the students and teacher. The enlarging features of the projector allow the educator to write in a comfortable small script in a natural writing position rather than writing in an overly large script on a blackboard and having to constantly hold his arm out in midair to write on the blackboard.
When the transparency sheet is full of written or drawn material, it can simply be replaced with a new, fresh sheet with more pre-printed material, again saving class time vs a blackboard that would need to be erased and teaching materials rewritten by the educator. Following the class period, the transparencies are easily restored to their original unused state by washing off with soap and water.
The first of these LCD panels were monochrome-only, and could display NTSC video output such as from an Apple II computer or VCR. In the late 1980s color models became available, capable of "thousands" of colors (16-bit color), for the color Macintosh and VGA PCs. The displays were never particularly fast to refresh or update, resulting in the smearing of fast-moving images, but it was acceptable when nothing else was available.
The primary reason for this gradual replacement is the deeply ingrained use of computing technology in modern society and the inability of overheads to easily support the features that modern users demand. While an overhead can display static images fairly well, it performs poorly at displaying moving images. The LCD video display panels that were once used have fallen out of favor due to the limited resolution available and relatively dim, fuzzy image produced by the overhead.
The standards of users have also increased, so that a dim, fuzzy overhead projection that is too bright in the center and too dim around the edges is no longer acceptable. The optical focus, linearity, brightness and clarity of an overhead generally cannot match that of a video projector primarily due to the plastic fresnel lens, which can only approximate what would normally be an extremely large and heavy glass lens.
Video projectors utilize extremely small picture generation mechanisms, allowing for precision optics that far exceed the plastic fresnel lens' optical performance. They also include additional optics that eliminate the hotspot in the center of the screen directly above the light source, so that the brightness is uniform everywhere on the projection screen.
Critics feel that there are some downsides as these technologies are more prone to failure and have a much steeper learning curve for the user than a standard overhead projector. While a computer projection system eliminates the need to create hard copy transparencies (which can be quite expensive, particularly if made in color) of the slide show presentation, many presenters make both in case the computer hardware fails. Furthermore, the overhead projector allows a more direct interaction through live writing on the transparency.

Read Poems by
Kasim Ishmael
A lady on high street with ah tight pants
And all the men turn and watching she
Well I pretend I didn't notice
But in the corner of my eyes I look to see
Then I went down by the hospital
Stop and drink an apple J
Was to full to eat any doubles
Because I was by naz cuisine today
Had smoke herring with tomato
With two hot sada roti
And some nice mango kuchela
With a hot cup of coffee
Then I walk up Harris promenade
Sit on a bench by the engine
It was under a big tree
So I just sit in the shade relaxing
San Fernando really has nice girls
So much passing in front of me
I tell a red Spanish girl good afternoon
She said "mind your business you stupidly"
Trinidad girls is very nice and friendly
But it has a few with bad attitude all about
Some girls talk sweet like honey
And some have a pepper in their mouth
Well I going to the place I learn tailoring
By "ram mohess "on the lord street
It's been many years I haven't seen them
So I carrying some beer and KFC to eat

Then I went down by the sea wharf
They do catch big fishes down there
Then pass by San Fernando market
Ands stop In a rum shop to drink a beer
Jump in a taxi to ste Madeleine
See my nephew riad in the backseat

So four of us went in the bar to lime
Then girlfriend text to say she love me

TUESDAY - April 8, 2008
GREENVILLE - United States Attorney George E.B. Holding announced that yesterday in federal court MELVIN REGINALD HOLDEN, 28, pled guilty before United States Magistrate Judge David W. Daniel to being a felon in possession of a firearm.
A one-count Criminal Information was filed on February 19, 2008. On March 16, 2005, agents learned that HOLDEN, along with his cousin, sold a Haskel Model JHP .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol to another person. That person, a convicted felon, used it to commit a robbery in Raleigh.
"We must continue to work to take firearms out of the hands of previously convicted felons. The officers and agents working on the streets today have my heartfelt gratitude for the difficult and dangerous job they face each day," stated Mr. Holding.
The maximum penalty faced by HOLDEN is 10 years imprisonment, a fine of $250,000 and 3 years supervised release following his term of confinement. If deemed an Armed Career Criminal, pursuant to Title 18, United States, Code, Section 924(e), HOLDEN faces a maximum of 15 years to life imprisonment, a fine of $250,000 and 5 years supervised release.
Investigation of the case was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Raleigh Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Jane Jackson served as prosecutor for the government.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

Editor's Note: On a Document That Disappeared, Then Reappeared
Pardon the interruption here, folks. In the interest of transparency and reader accountability, we want to make you aware of a major editorial decision that has unfolded over the past few days.
On Friday afternoon, we published our usual detailed Council Report; it included Shane Smith's reportage on a heated exchange between former mayor Gerald McCann and Ward E councilman Steven Fulop that happened during the meeting.
McCann brandished a 2008 police report that included an allegation that the Fulop campaign, during the 2005 council race against Junior Maldonado, had paid several people money to vote multiple times at different polling places.
Here's how we played it:
Providing an undercard to the main event of the police and fire contracts dustup, former mayor McCann and councilman Fulop locked horns during the public hearing portion of the meeting when McCann resuscitated an accusation of voter fraud he has previously made against Fulop.
McCann distributed to the council copies of a police report dated April 2008, in which city resident William Cortez stated that he and others were paid a total of $1,000 by someone from Fulop's campaign to vote in several locations under several names in the 2005 election. Charges relating to the alleged fraud were never brought against Fulop or any other individual.
We went on to quote Fulop saying the report was "fraudulent," and saying "there is not a shred of truth to this."
We also linked to the police report, which we had obtained Friday morning, via fax, from the City Clerk's office.
And that's where things went a bit off the rails.
Not too long after the story went live, as Shane and I were out on Long Island picking up the Spring/Summer issue of NEW magazine, we found out that Fulop was not too pleased that we had linked to the report. After several hours of back and forth with the councilman and his council aide, in which they repeatedly insisted we had obtained the incendiary document illegally, we were eventually threatened with legal action: Fulop said he'd file suit against us on Monday.
By this point, it was getting towards the end of the business day, we were on the road, and we weren't thrilled with the idea of jumping right into a legal battle that could potentially bankrupt us. We eventually decided that rather than continue our showdown with Fulop, we would — for the moment — pull the document off the story, and off our servers. In the meantime, we would continue to discuss the situation internally, as well with with our own attorney.
The result? We have decided to re-post the document and once again enable the link within the story.
We believe that we were well within our legal rights to publish and link to the document, and we know we obtained it in a legal fashion. The latter point, however, is moot — American courts have consistently ruled that news organizations have the right to publish government documents, regardless of how they are obtained, and regardless of whether or not they are designated "public records."
We also believe that we gave the police report adequate context, did not sensationalize it, clearly explained to our readers that nothing had come of it, and in no way presented the testimony contained in the document as fact. Any "average Jane" reading our story would be hard pressed, in our minds, to believe that Fulop was guilty of the allegations.
"Linking to or posting the report is a good idea, as long as you [give] your audience enough context to judge the material for themselves," Poynter Institute journalism ethics expert Kelly McBride told us after we sought out her advice as well. We believe we did exactly that.
Lastly, not wanting to blindside the councilman, we also gave him the opportunity to state his case and respond. Here is his statement:
Last Friday, JCI ran an item that described an exchange between former mayor and convicted felon Gerald McCann and me. Mr. McCann, a political opponent, appeared at the council meeting to circulate a fraudulent investigative report filed in 2008 that was quickly proven to be untrue. This is the type of baseless political stunt that Mr. McCann is well-known for and a great example of Jersey City gutter politics.
My initial consideration of a lawsuit stemmed from my belief that reputation and integrity are everything and must be defended at all costs. Publishing a link to a fabricated allegation as if it is factual smears one's character and does nothing to advance the story; it only serves to sensationalize. To be clear: I do not take issue with the story that was published, only the link to a document with baseless claims. Though I disagree with JCI's actions in this case, I do appreciate and respect the work of the Jersey City Independent.
