Church Bling One Adorned The Next Pope
Jan Lois Condorez writes from The Vatican: I do like a bling church. This past weekend was very, very bling church. Pope Benedict XVI, who of course had bling thrust upon him, appointed six new cardinals.
|The Pope Benedict XVI wears plenty of bling so why not the church of England?
That's what the Holy See has done this weekend. Six new scarlet hatters and not one says prego. He wants everyone to understand that the Church of Rome is international.
|The burning of Nigerian churches has shocked the Vatican church and the Church of England.
The Church has strong memories and while the Vatican says the Church is for everyone in the world, the real message at last is more along the lines that the Church will go wherever it is needed.A humorous take on news and current affairs http://www.stirringtroubleinternationally.com.

Dave's Obsession With Political Correctness It Happened To His Idol, Tony
David Cameron is obsessed with political correctness. It can bury him if he's not careful.
David Cameron talks about minorities in response to the press and public obsession with the topics. Recently what is called PC political correctness examples is keeping a lot of people up at night thinking about what is going to happen. A lot of people are noticing and adhering to political correctness gone mad examples, these are examples of political correctness which to some might not be examples of political correctness gone mad. Minority is not the majority it really can mean anything including race. gay people are at a minority because they are not many. The disabled people are in a minority. Certain occupations are in a minority. It is right to give thanks to these things because minorities need a voice just like David Cameron and Tony Blair do. The people in hard times right now are not to many although this is not to take anything away from anyone who is having a hard time. Another example is the amount of houses flooded recently in Britian there really is not that many compared to housing that has not been effected by such diverse weather.
Rihanna – Unapologetic
Rihanna's most successful album to date was her 2007 third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, with over 12 million sales.
The second half of Unapologetic however is edgy and not what we're used to from Rihanna, but why should she not try something new? Here we have ballads, disco, reggae and even a defence of her former boyfriend Chris Brown who notoriously beat her up in 2009.

There's More To A Grumpy Phone Call About Patriot Missiles Than Meets The Eye
Janet Camus writes from Brussels: NATO's Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, has called the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, on Friday to explain to him that should the Patriot missiles be deployed in Turkey they would not constitute a threat to Moscow or anyone else apart from Syria.
NATO in 1949, was the first ambition realised to save Europe from its tendency to internecine nastiness. They can afford to because the whole affair is quietly managed.

Adam Lovejoy reports from Canterbury: So, the Synod of the Church of England has decided to ignore the pressure from the modernisers and blocked the consecration of women bishops.

They play all over the world and win the big Oscars wherever they go. But look, they have their artistic origins in British provincial theatre.

The Past Still Exerts Considerable Influence On Chinese Politics. Expect Little Change Soon
Gu Suhua writes from Beijing: A feeling of intense disappointment pervades this city and country. Instead of a new generation of leaders taking over, the golden oldies of the past exercised a visible influence on the selection of the top Party elite. First and foremost was Jiang Zemin. Now 86 years old, he stepped down as paramount leader as long ago as 2002. He was not the oldest comrade from the past. That prize went to Song Ping, now 90.
Jiang Zemin is the patron of the Shanghai faction within the leadership. It now has three of the seven seats on the Politburo Standing Committee. They are Xi Jinping, who owes his rise to power to Jiang; Zhang Dejiang, who will soon become Chair of the National People's Congress or parliament; and Liu Yunshan, who has become head of the Party Central Committee Secretariat. Hu Jintao wanted to promote two of his protégés, regarded as reformers, to the Standing Committee. However Jiang and Li Peng, now 84 years old, and one of those who advocated the crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square in June 1989, blocked their advance.
Hu Jintao, in his farewell 101 minute speech, devoted some time to talking about a fairer and more transparent way of choosing leaders. Party members had the 'right to know, right to take part in discussions, electoral rights and supervisory rights'. However Hu did not condemn the cult of personality which was so evident in the activities of Bo Xilai, the disgraced Party secretary of Chongqing. Hu was visibly annoyed by the cult of personality which surrounds Jiang Zemin. However he chose not to make this public.
Wen Jiabao's speech was much more revealing. He referred to an address by Deng Xiaoping delivered in 1980. The latter identified huge obstacles facing the Party and government: 'bureaucracy, over concentration of power, patriarchal attitudes, life tenure in leading posts and a multitude of privileges'. He defined patriarchal traditions as 'placing individuals above the organisation'. They used this as a 'tool to become dictatorial'. Which patriarch did Wen have in mind? Clearly he was referring to the activities of Jiang Zemin.
Hu Jintao talked a lot about battling corruption. If it were not overcome the Party would be dealt a fatal blow. What new Party regulations did he introduce to combat this disease? None. The obvious one was to oblige senior Party officials to declare the assets of their relatives and to reveal whether the latter had foreign residency rights.
Bloomberg and the New York Times, just before the Congress, published detailed information about the business activities of the relatives of Xi Jing and Wen Jiabao. For instance, it was claimed that the Wen family was worth $2.7 billion. Censors scrambled to remove this information from the web but it is certain that millions of Chinese read it. No reports circulated about investigations into the business activities of top Party families. The elite were in denial. They claimed that measures had been put in place to prevent relatives from improperly acquiring wealth.
In his report, Hu stated that the economy was 'unbalanced, uncoordinated and unsustainable'. Despite this he advocated that the state sector should grow at the expense of the private sector. This underlines the influence of state corporations on policy. If China is to become more economically efficient, it has to avoid the emergence of state monopoly capitalism. Chinese capitalism now appears to resemble American capitalism in the late 19th century. The Middle Kingdom needs economic reform and quickly.

New York City Resident Indicted for Providing Material Support to Terrorists
Albanian National Arrested at JFK Airport en Route to Fight Jihad
|U.S. Attorney's Office September 09, 2011
An indictment was unsealed in federal court in Brooklyn this morning charging Agron Hasbajrami, a legal U.S. resident and Albanian citizen residing in New York City, with providing material support to terrorists.1 Hasbajrami is scheduled to be arraigned later today before United States Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom, at the U.S. Courthouse, 225 Cadman Plaza East, Brooklyn, New York. The case has been assigned to United States District Judge John Gleeson.
The charges were announced by Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; Janice K. Fedarcyk, Assistant Director in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office; and Raymond W. Kelly, Commissioner, New York City Police Department.
According to the indictment and a detention motion filed by the government, Hasbajrami devised a plan to travel to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan (the "FATA") for the purpose of joining a radical jihadist fighting group in Pakistan. In pursuing this goal, Hasbajrami exchanged e-mail messages with a contact in Pakistan who advised Hasbajrami that the contact's fighting group was engaged in violent military operations and had killed American troops. Hasbajrami told his contact that he wished to travel abroad to "marry with the girls in paradise," using jihadist rhetoric to describe his desire to die as a martyr.
According to the government's court filings, Hasbajrami sent over $1,000 to Pakistan to support his contact's terrorist efforts. When asked to collect money from fellow Muslims for the terrorist cause, Hasbajrami reported that fundraising was difficult in New York because his fellow Muslims became apprehensive "when they hear it is for jihad."
In August 2011, Hasbajrami purchased an airline ticket to travel to Turkey en route to Pakistan, but cancelled it. Hasbajrami then purchased another airline ticket to travel to Turkey on September 6, 2011. He was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York, when he arrived to board his flight to Turkey carrying a tent, boots and cold-weather gear. A search of Hasbajrami's residence revealed, among other items, a note reading "Do not wait for invasion, the time is martyrdom time."
"The vigilance of law enforcement has resulted in the capture of another alleged aspiring terrorist bent on traveling overseas for violent jihad," stated United States Attorney Lynch. "We will spare no effort in stopping terrorists before they strike." Ms. Lynch expressed her grateful appreciation to the FBI and NYPD for their extraordinary work in leading the government's investigation.
If convicted of providing material support to terrorists, Hasbajrami faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
The government's case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Matthew S. Amatruda and Seth D. DuCharme with assistance provided by Trial Attorney Courtney Sullivan of the DOJ Counterterrorism Section.
The Defendant:
Age: 27
1The charges in the indictment are merely allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Mr. AP would like to be a principal. If he asked, here is the letter of recommendation I would write:
To Whom It May Concern:
Mr. AP has been at Packemin HS for many years. He first served as a teacher and then moved on to become the chairperson of the department. The department has benefited greatly from his ability to fix the copy machine, whenever it breaks down. He is also good at finagling extra masters and ink for the machine.
Mr. AP is the type of principal you want if you want someone who believes he is smarter than everyone else in the building. No one knows as much as he does or has more common sense. He can determine whether a child will pass or fail, just by looking at a name and a few test scores.
If you want to hire a principal that knows how to antagonize parents, Mr. AP is the man for you. He yells at parents if they knock on his office door and he makes them wait long periods of time to talk to him. He will not consider any requests they make if they are different than what he has in mind for that particular student.
If you believe that one ethnic group should be favored over all others, hire Mr. AP. This ethnic group of students gets preferential treatment. He also hires teachers only of this ethnicity also.
Mr. AP is constantly blaming teachers for all the ills of the school. He will berate them if their regents grades
are not high enough. He will berate them if their final grades are not within 5 points of the regents exam. He will not allow them to make their own decisions about who should pass and who should fail. If you want a principal that will hold teachers accountable for all the school's troubles, Mr.
AP is your candidate.
If these are the qualities you are looking for in your next principal, hire Mr. AP. No one does any of the above better than he does them.
Ms. POd

The coast of Costa Rica was struck on 5 September 2012 at 08:42 a.m. local time by a major earthquake with the epicenter located in the Nicoya Península. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) indicated a magnitude of 7.6. on the Richter scale. The epicenter is located very close to the surface, approximately in a depth of 10 kilometres. A tsunami warning was in effect for Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua, issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre but it was cancelled two and a half hours later based on data gathered from tide gauges. A map displaying the epicenter was provided by Geographer Douglas Salgado from the National Risk Prevention and Emergency Response Commission of Costa Rica (CNE).
UN-SPIDER's Regional Support Office (RSO) in Panama has tasked NASA's EO-1 satellite to acquire satellite imagery of the areas affected by the earthquake. UN-SPIDER has additionally contacted its RSO in Colombia (IGAC) and CONAE in Argentina.
In its most recent impact assessment (6 Sept. 2012; 18:00 PM local time), CNE indicates that 163 communities were affected; mostly in terms of damage to public and private infrastructure including life-lines. Nine temporary shelters have been set up and are hosting 339 persons.

Beverly man to spend four years for molesting sisters
A Beverly man has been sentenced to four years in prison for sexually molesting his girlfriend's two daughters, starting when one was 9 years old.
Norman Fertsch was sentenced Thursday in Salem Superior Court after pleading guilty to nine counts of indecent assault and battery on a child.
Prosecutors say the 47-year-old Fertsch was living with the victims and their mother when he began offering the older of the girls "massages" starting in 2000. Prosecutors say Fertsch would start with something seemingly innocent, but soon was touching the girl inappropriately. The abuse continued for about three years until the older girl was 14. Then Fertsch turned to the younger girl, who was 9.
The Salem News reports that Fertsch's lawyer said his client accepts responsibility for his actions.

Product Description
TDM Adapter for Synta/Sky-Watcher EQ6 Mount (Modified)
A common struggle in astrophotography is having proper accurate tracking ability of mounts. Even most mounts with advanced tracking features still have small periodic and non-periodic tracking errors, further limiting the length of exposure depending on focal length etc. Sometimes, it is quite laborious to find a guiding star in the observed object's region in the sky, which is bright enough for accurate tracking process and, at the same time, you surely will not be able to find two tracking periods with exactly the same shapes for using your PEC algorithm efficiently enough. While auto-guiding and PEC (Periodic Error Correction) will help compensate for this, the best option is the "Telescope Drive Master" (TDM).
The Telescope Drive Master (TDM) consists of two main parts; a high precision encoder attached to a mount's RA shaft that sends electronic signals from the encoder to mount's driver. With a ±1 arc-second tracking accuracy, depending on the mechanical features of the mount concerned and the tracking correction speed of its driver to be used, a controller unit with a standard auto-guider input and sidereal speed of 0.5x is compatible with the TDM.
So far, three types of mechanical adapters have been developed, attaching the encoder unit to the mount: for Synta (SkyWatcher) EQ6 (or Orion Atlas EQ-G in the US), Celestron CGE and any type of Fornax mounts. (However, in the near future more and more new adapters will be developed and produced for the other popular mounts as well like Losmandy, Vixen, LX200, etc.) It means that while a typical EQ6 (EQ-G) mount can easily have 20-30" (or higher) periodic error as "out-of-box result", Telescope Drive Master can reduce it by more than one order of magnitude, down to 2-2.5" peak-to-valley total or less, which is better than the same feature of the very expensive premium category mounts. Certainly, the better quality of mounts will also be able to provide higher accuracy (even less than ±1" or 2" total) using Telescope Drive Master.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Sex during adolescence may have lasting negative effects on the body, most likely because it occurs when the nervous system is developing, U.S. researchers say.
Study co-author John Morris, a doctoral student in psychology at Ohio State University, Zachary Weil, research assistant professor, and Randy Nelson, professor and chairman of the department of neuroscience, said their research used laboratory animals, but their findings provide information that might be applicable to understanding human sexual development.
Researchers paired adult female hamsters with male hamsters when the males were 40 days old -- the equivalent of a human's mid-adolescence.
The study found that male animals with an early-life sexual experience later showed more signs of depressive-like behaviors as well as lower body mass, smaller reproductive tissues and changes to cells in the brain than did hamsters first exposed to sex later in life or experienced no sex at all.
Among the cell changes observed in the animals that had sex during adolescence were higher levels of expression of a gene associated with inflammation in their brain tissue and less complex cellular structures in key signaling areas of the brain. They also had stronger immune response, suggesting their immune systems were in a heightened state of readiness even without the presence of infection -- a potential sign of an autoimmune problem, the study said.
The findings were presented at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in Washington.

Most people visit Iceland in summer, when once or twice a week it actually stops raining and the sun shines in a way that makes you think, briefly, about taking off your sweater. The hills show off their green, yellow and red gravel faces to best effect, and you can even get around easily without a snowplough. But if you really want to see what makes this odd country tick, consider a winter visit. True, you'll find many places cut off from the outside world until Easter, people drinking themselves into oblivion to make those endless nocturnal stretches race by (though they do the same thing in summer, filled with joy at the endless daylight) and tourist information booths boarded up until the thaw. On the other hand, you can do some things in winter that you will never forget.
Up in the northeast, Lake Mývatn is surrounded by craters, boiling mud pools and other evidence of Iceland's unstable tectonics. Near its northeast shore lie crevasses, flooded by thermal springs welling up out of the earth. They are too hot for summer bathing, but in winter the water temperature drops to just within human tolerance, and the springs are best visited in a blizzard, when you'll need to be well rugged up against the bitter, driving wind and swirling snow. Clamber up the steep slope and look down over the edge: rising steam from the narrow, flooded fissure five metres below has built up a thick ice coating, so it's out with the ice axes to cut footholds for the climb down to a narrow ledge, where you undress in the cold and, shivering, ease yourself into the pale-blue water. And then… heaven! You tread water and look up into the falling snow and weird half-light, your damp hair nearly frozen but your body flooded with heat. Five minutes later, you clamber out, feeling so hot you're surprised that the overhanging ice sheets haven't started to melt.
Mývatn is about 6hr by road from Reykjavík, and 2hr from the nearest town, Akureyri. Buses run in summer; you'll have to hire a car during the rest of the year.

Regents Approve Faculty Contract Modification
Atlanta — May 12, 2009
The Board of Regents approved a plan today that gives University System of Georgia (USG) presidents the authority to furlough any and all employees, including faculty, should the need arise.
University System officials noted that there are no plans to furlough contract employees in the current fiscal year, which ends on June 30, 2009. The regents' action provides presidents another tool that could be used in meeting any future budget reductions.
"This gives our presidents the flexibility to make furlough decisions for their respective institutions, if the state revenue situation continues to worsen," said USG Chancellor Erroll B. Davis Jr.
Davis noted that the board's action changes a situation in which one fourth of the University System's approximately 40,000 employees are excluded by contract from furloughs, but these employees account for approximately one-half of all personnel costs.
"Currently our faculty cannot be furloughed because of legal contracts we sign with them on an annual basis," Davis said. "The board's action allows us to insert language into all faculty contracts that clearly outlines that furloughs are a possibility and to which the signer of a contract agrees."
The specific contract language approved by the regents is: "Notwithstanding any other provision of this contract, for Fiscal Year 2009-2010, the Board of Regents has authorized the president to implement a mandatory furlough program requiring employees to take not more than 10 days of unpaid annual leave. In the event it becomes necessary for the president to exercise this authority, employee furloughs will be implemented in accordance with guidelines promulgated by the Office of the Chancellor."« News Releases

Running With Friends Adds a Dash of Diversity to Zynga's Mobile Games Catalog
To date, all of Zynga's "With Friends" mobile games have been social twists on word and puzzle classics like Scrabble and Hangman.
But on the heels of runaway hits like Temple Run 2 and Subway Surfers, the company is off to the races, hoping to give those single-player phenomena a multiplayer-focused run for their money.
(Pardon the barrage of running puns.)
The company's latest game is Running With Friends, a smart twist on the popular endless-runner genre. As with other games, you swipe on the touchscreen to avoid obstacles, collect powerups and move your character around the screen: Left and right to change into one of three "lanes," up to jump and down to slide.
The twist comes in the form of some familiar multiplayer features that Zynga has built around this tried-and-true formula. This is asynchronous multiplayer, meaning you can challenge someone to a race without needing to play at the same time as your opponent to compete (as is the case in other "With Friends" titles).
Developed in partnership with Twisted Metal and God of War creators Eat Sleep Play, the game just looks good — the bright Subway Surfers-esque 3-D graphics are streets ahead of the other titles in Zynga's existing lineup.
Factoring in a bit of luck from a pregame slot-machine spin, Running With Friends awards points to players based on how far they can run and how many bonus items they pick up along the way. And if one of your opponents has run the same obstacles as you already, the game remembers how they moved, sort of like the "ghost" mode in Mario Kart.
That means you might see your friends on the track and can shove them out of the way with a swipe — which, let's be honest, is pretty fun.
The game is iOS-only to start (so, available on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch), but Zynga's mobile SVP Travis Boatman told AllThingsD that the company will likely do what it has done with previous games like Zynga Poker and Words With Friends: See how the game does, improve it and then roll it out to other platforms, one at a time.

One of the surprises of 2012 was that the 21 Jump Street movie reboot didn't suck. It very much did not suck. It was, actually, pretty funny. And it's only gotten funnier on repeat viewings, which is the sign of a classic. It might chap your ass a little because it was produced and conceived as a Jonah Hill vanity project, but does the fact that Channing Tatum is so likeable cancel that out? Does Tatum somehow alleviate whatever annoyance Hill carries? It's hard to dislike the Jonah Hill that is responsible for 21 Jump Street. I wish we saw more of him.
We're definitely getting more of his Jump Street alter-ego, Schmidt. The red band trailer for the sequel, the so-creatively titled 22 Jump Street, is here and it's loaded with Jenko and Schmidt (with bonus Offerman and Riggle). Hill and Tatum's comic chemistry is still surprising, even going on two years later, and Tatum is actually really good at comedy, not least because he has a great sense of humor about himself (see also: The epic splits). This trailer makes me laugh, A LOT, and it's almost entirely because of the Hill/Tatum rapport. They're both good at physical comedy, they both have solid delivery, and now they have the confidence of knowing they mesh.
21 Jump Street's success was fluky, which they acknowledge via Nick Offerman's monologue, and they know what's riding on the sequel. Even if it feels a little repetitive—oh we're fish out of water, too old to be here, on the case of a drug ring, again?—Hill and Tatum have earned a little faith. They've already made one stupid, who-needs-it movie incredibly funny, and based on this promising trailer, there's no reason they can't do it again.
"I'm not gonna take a sh*t the entire time we're here." Kills me every time.

The History of European Secularism to repeat itself in the "Holy Land" for a better future and without the possibility religionists with nuclear bombs:
"The demand for secularization should be supported by all religious Israelis, because it is no less in their interest than it is in that of secular Jews."
Long live critical thought!
I read the article you submitted. I've also just come back from a visit to Israel. I think the current situation in Israel is incomparable with the situation in 16th or 17th century Western Europe. The struggle between Israelians and Palestines strikes me more as a struggle between two national or ethnic identities rather than religions. I was further under the impression that a lot of Israelis were in fact quite secularized but I must admit that I was mainly staying in Tel Aviv. I saw remarkably few religious Jews in Tel Aviv, in spite of the fact that it was 'Rosj Hasjana' on the day of my arrival. However, I agree with you on the fact that secularization, in combination with the principle of 'Rule of Law', is the only solution to creating a nation state in which people of various religious and non-religious background can live together in peace.
the majority of israel are secular jews(like einstein for example), and almost half of all secular jews in israel are atheists\agnostics. but the orthodox minority are sort of fundamentalsits, half of them are ultra-orthodox(the most fundamentalist stream of judaism), and they want to establish a jewish theocracy. they stone secular jews, and they abide to no law but the rule of rabbi. the politicians are of course happy, because they can pay a certain rabbi money and he will get them elected, but anti-clericalism is slowly rising.

Thoughts on a Candlelit Monday
This morning a winter rain falls on the heels of a polar wind. The last of wet leaves fall from their branches. A heavy fog has settled in our corner of the piney woods. My heart feels heavy too. The weather forces me to stillness.
It's often the "little things" in life that interrupts focus from Truth and knocks me off-course. These days I find myself in new emotional territory as a mom. As usual I feel out of my depth. In truth, it's less about them, and more about me. Pride isn't easy to set down. Sadly, trusting never comes easy. For me, it is always the hard way.
In an attempt to comfort myself with the warmth of a cozy home I light candles, and the flame sparks a memory:
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them. I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do. I will not forsake them. (Isaiah 42:16)
Like the strike of a match it flares: gratitude for promises given, and promises kept. We're not meant to walk in foreign lands alone. He brings the light, He will do it. "You need only to be still."

NHL is a type of cancer in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It helps to fight diseases and infections. The lymphatic system also helps with balancing fluids in different parts of the body. The lymphatic system includes:
NHL causes abnormal growth of the cells in the lymphatic system. Over time this causes tumors to grow. The cells can also spread to other organs and tissues in the body (metastasis). NHL is a rare disease in children. It can occur at any age, and affects boys more often than girls.
NHL in children comes in 3 types:
Researchers do not know the exact cause of NHL. Genes and some viral infections may increase a child's risk of having NHL. Conditions that are linked to NHL include:
In many cases, NHL in children may not cause symptoms until it has grown or spread. Most children have advanced disease at the time of diagnosis. This is because the symptoms start suddenly, and the tumors tend to grow fast. A child can become very sick in a few days to a few weeks.
Signs and symptoms vary depending on the type of NHL. Symptoms of a belly (abdominal) tumor can include:
Symptoms of a chest tumor include:
Other symptoms may include:
The symptoms of NHL can be like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees a healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Your child's healthcare provider will ask about your child's medical history and symptoms. He or she will examine your child. Your child may have tests such as:
Part of diagnosing cancer is called staging. Staging is the process of seeing if the cancer has spread, and where it has spread. Staging also helps to decide the treatment. There are different ways of staging used for NHL. Talk with your child's healthcare provider about the stage of your child's cancer. One method of staging NHL is the following:
Treatment will depend on the type and stage. NHL can be treated with any of the below:
Your child will need follow-up care during and after treatment to:
With treatment, most children with NHL go on to live long lives. With any cancer, how well a child is expected to recover (prognosis) varies. Keep in mind:
Possible complications depend on the type and stage of the lymphoma, and can include:
Treatment may also cause complications. They include:
You can help your child manage his or her treatment in many ways. For example:
Call the healthcare provider if your child has:

What is this project?
It is a project to install 1,225 feet of new concrete sidewalk on the east side of S. School Avenue from the shopping center to 19th Street.
Why is it important?
This new segment will provide a connection from local community support services to a retail shopping center and also provides connection to Town Branch Trail.
What is the current status?
This project is upcoming.
How is this project being funded?
Funding for this project comes from the Street Fund. The Street Fund is financed through two sources:
1) Turn-back revenues from the State of Arkansas. The State collects motor fuel taxes, which are returned to the City on a per-capita basis.
2) Turn-back monies received from the County Road Millage Tax. The City receives 80% of the road millage levied by the Quorum Court on real and personal property located within the city.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
I am trying to use a laptop with network boot to act as a diskless MD.I have followed the steps on http://wiki.linuxmce.com/index.php/Automatic_diskless_boot_of_media_directors"In LinuxMCE Admin go to Wizard, Devices, Media Directors. Add the media director if this is a new one, and set the mac address. The mac address should be a series of six 2 character sequences separated by colons, like this: 1A:00:F2:21:23:9F"However I go there and I see my core as a device then I go to add new at the bottom, I update the information (no where for a MAC address) then the only button I see is a close button and the information that I have just created is no where to be found.I clicked setup diskless media directors and reloaded the router and the MD will not boot. I can update with screenshots if needed because i am sure my descriptions are not the best.Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
I also had a problem with just booting to PXE - (I don't have a dual NIC environment as I am still just playing, gonna build up a dedicated system from components in due course). The Dell laptop boots and goes through the initial part of Linux startup, changing the font, doing the announcement, then the last message I can actually see is running a .sh script that says something about diskless... it disappears too quickly as at that point it reboots again and goes into an endless loop and never gets any further!I then read the bit RGoolsby refers to about adding the MD in the admin console. I don't know if this is a new bug for 0704, but the Add button does nothing. It just refreshes the screen - if you are not careful you could accidentally misinterpret the OnScreen orbiter config section for the core/hybrid as the new device and reconfigure that one - thankfully I carefully checked before I did this. No matter what I tried I couldn't Add a new MD (unlike in the Add new Device section which works just fine), so I couldn't type in the MAC as the instructions indicate.In the end, I added a new Device from that dialogue (instead of new MD), struggled a little picking the right Template and other details. But finally got the device in with the MAC, now as soon as I boot the laptop it went all the way through just fine, and in the Admin console it correctly identifies it as an MD...
Thanks guys. I will try the advice tonight when i get home from work.When I go to the Wizard, Devices, Media Directors it shows a MD as Core/Hybrid. Is this what I should delete? I am trying to that that this might be the only one listed.I did get it to recognize the diskless MD one time and it hung as part of the setup and I I thought it froze. I will stick it out now and wait. About how long should it take for the first time? I have seen all different ranges of times on the boards.
Totallymaxed: can't comment on whether the display drivers were working correctly (no way to tell really!), all I can say is that the exact same laptop, with the exact same PXE configuration stuck in a reboot loop before I tried to add the MD to the Admin console - (1audio: I note that it was well into Linux boot, having already done several pages of logging on the screen, including changing the font, so there is no indication of a PXE issue, it gets well past the PXE part).As soon as I created the MD manually (as a device, directly, not using the specific Add MD function, as that didn't work as already described) and rebooted the laptop again, it worked perfectly.Nothing to fix here for me, I was only testing using it, I am not attempting to get it working permanently, and have now moved on to testing other stuff - just thought it might be of use to someone else.
I get the following error when I try to boot:ipconfig: No Devices to configure/init: 1:Cant Open /tmp/net-eth0.confKernal Panic - Not Syncing: Attempted to Kill InitThis is the same error that I had gotten previously, and I thought that maybe I just didnt wait long enought.. but after waiting about 10 or 15 minutes before I figured it might be a legitimate error.Suggestions?

VICTORIAN workplaces have recorded their safest year on record, with deaths almost halving over the past decade, according to figures released by the state government.
The number of people who died in Victorian workplaces fell to 18 last year, down from 25 in 2011 and equal to the record low set in 2005.
New WorkCover figures also show that injuries in the workplace fell to a new low in 2012, with 7.77 people injured for every million hours worked compared to 7.9 people the previous year.
But the state's workplaces continue to be more dangerous for men than women, particularly those aged over 50. Only one of the 18 fatalities involved a woman. Despite the improved results, deaths and injuries in the agriculture and construction industries continue to be cause for concern.
Assistant Treasurer Gordon Rich-Phillips said inspection and enforcement action by the Victorian Workcover Authority and engagement from employers and workers had reduced fatal accidents.
''In 2012, national data confirmed Victoria's position as having the safest workplaces of any state or territory in Australia, and that's a credit to employers, workers and the efforts of the WorkSafe team,'' he said.
But more work needed to be done, and many fatalities and injuries were the result of known hazards, he said.
WorkSafe health and safety executive director Ian Forsyth said public awareness campaigns had also reduced workplace accidents.
''The campaign has positioned public safety in the people's minds. They are very high-profile and have a very strong level of awareness and recall. This improvement is a combination of enforcement, education and public awareness campaigns.''
But he said accidents in the agricultural and construction industry continued to be a major concern, with three fatalities on farms in 2012.
One of these included a four-year-old boy crushed by a hay bale spike attachment when it fell near a tractor.
Twelve of the deaths were in Melbourne and six in rural Victoria. Four involved men falling from roofs or through ceilings.
Mr Forsyth said seven of last year's 18 deaths occurred in November and December.
''That's a pattern we saw the previous year. We think that's a time where people are rushing to get jobs done, or their mind is focused on upcoming holidays.''
The state government reiterated that it would not sign up to the federal government's proposed national occupational health and safety model.
''Victoria's occupational health and safety laws are recognised as best practice, and these results support that,'' Mr Rich-Phillips said.
''Julia Gillard's national OHS model would impose $3.4 billion in additional costs on Victorian businesses without any evidence that workplace safety in Victoria would be improved.''
Other fatal workplace accidents included the death of a father of two overwhelmed by carbon monoxide from a petrol generator in a bakery while sleeping in a nearby room.
Another fatality involved a male worker being crushed when a scissor lift fell off a truck and pinned him against a stationary forklift.
About 28,300 Victorians lodged an injury claim in 2012, the lowest on record. In 2002, there were 34 workplace deaths.

Tuberculosis case confirmed at Parkville High School
Health department to hold clinic to help detect possible TB contact
Someone at a Baltimore County school got infected with tuberculosis last month, and health officials are urging others who may have had contact with the person to get tested.
Baltimore County health officials said a physician notified them on July 17 that a member of the Parkville High School community had been diagnosed with a case of active tuberculosis during the school year. They wouldn't say who got infected or how.
It's unclear how old the person is or whether he or she is a student or staffer, but officials did say efforts are underway to inform and test potential contacts with the person. Health officials then worked with the school, the patient and the patient's family to identify potential contacts.
On Friday, the county sent a letter to about 60 people, explaining tuberculosis and urging them to get screened by their doctor or at an upcoming clinic. Anyone who doesn't get the letter doesn't need to get tested, health officials said.
Health officials said they are contacting the second ring of people who may have had contact with the person, saying the inner ring of people -- family members -- all tested negative for tuberculosis.
The Baltimore County Department of Health has scheduled a free walk-in clinic on Aug. 13 from 8 a.m. to noon at Parkville High School. Health officials will administer a blood test to those identified as a potential contact to determine if they have been infected with tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is a disease caused by bacteria that usually affects the lungs. Although this disease is spread from person to person through the air, a person needs to be in close contact for an extended amount of time and inhale it to become infected.
Tuberculosis in the lungs can cause the following symptoms:
- A bad cough that lasts longer than two weeks
- Chest pain
- Coughing up blood or sputum (phlegm from deep inside the lungs)
- Weakness or tiredness, weight loss, chills, fever, night sweats
An information phone line opened Monday at 9 a.m. to provide information and answer any questions from members of the Parkville High School community. The number is 410-887-2711.
"The purpose for the phone information line is for the Baltimore County Department of Health to inform the public for anybody that has questions about this ongoing contact investigation for an active case of tuberculosis," said Dr. Lucia Donatelli with the Baltimore County Health Department.
Those answering the phones heard from people wanting clarification and information.
"(The callers are) people who have worked at the school or worked with people who attended the school or friends they hung out with at school and parents concerned about their kids," said Hinda Brooks, with the Baltimore County Health Department.
It's unknown whether this case involves a drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis, which is a kind of infection that can take months and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to treat.
"It is not easily spread at all, and that's something that's really important to know. This is not like catching the common cold or flu. There needs to be a long, extended period of exposure over a long period of time," Donatelli said.
County health officials said there are some 20 to 30 active tuberculosis cases every year, and that this one is public because it involves a school.

Lawmakers caught off guard by Potawatomi's refusal to make payment to state
The debate over whether to move forward with a Kenosha casino is heating up, and this time, it's with a $25 million bombshell.
The Kenosha casino debate made its way back to the state capitol Wednesday, with lawmakers on both sides saying they were caught off guard by news that the Potawatomi was withholding a $25 million payment to the state.
VIDEO: Potawatomi's payment to state on hold
As the governor considers whether to approve a new Menominee Hard Rock casino, a competition clause in a gaming compact has allowed the Potawatomi to put its annual payment to the state on hold, which is something Democratic Assembly leader Peter Barca of Kenosha didn't see coming.
"No, in fact I was quite surprised because obviously it was due June 30, so we're talking about almost two months ago," Barca said.
Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said he also was surprised by the news but said it shouldn't stand in the way of the governor taking his time to make the right call.
"It is my hope that they are able to negotiate and have the project move forward," Vos said.
Gov. Scott Walker, meanwhile, said the potential loss of that multimillion dollar payment is one reason he hasn't make a decision yet.
"We need to make sure we don't have a gaping hole in the state budget because of approving that," Walker said.
The agreement pre-dates Walker's time in office. Meanwhile, lawmakers representing Kenosha and Racine counties called on the governor Tuesday to make a move quickly.
"We just think its time to move forward as quickly as absolutely possible to achieve that win-win," Barca said.
In spite of the increasingly loud calls for an answer sometime soon, the governor's actual deadline for a decision on the casino remains early next year.
A spokesman for the Potawatomi told WISN 12 News the withheld payment is a way to help ensure against possible future revenue losses from a competing casino, not designed to pressure the governor into a decision in their favor.
WISN 12 News asked the governor and lawmakers about the Potawatomi's tactic, and they declined to comment.

Davis: 20-week abortion ban 'impossible' for state to do right
SAN ANTONIO — State Sen. Wendy Davis got widespread attention when it was reported this week that she said she could have supported a Texas ban on abortion at 20 weeks if the legislation included enough deference to a woman and her doctor.
It was notable because her filibuster against a measure that included that ban and other tighter abortion restrictions launched her as a national political figure before she began her race for the Democratic nomination for governor.
Davis, however, told the San Antonio Express-News Editorial Board that she doesn't think it's possible for a 20-week ban to give enough deference to the decision-making of a woman and her doctor, and that she wouldn't advocate for such a ban.
The legislation she filibustered, including the ban, became law despite her efforts.
"I've been disappointed with how the reporting has characterized my conversation with the Dallas Morning News. What I tried to convey there was that it's impossible for the Legislature to define artfully enough exceptions that will accommodate everyday situations that women are facing in that arena, and that it has to be left to a woman and her doctor," Davis said Thursday.
She continued, "I would not advocate for a 20-week ban because I don't believe that it can capture and respect and give due deference to decision-making that belongs between a woman and her doctor. And typically, of course, these abortions are occurring in tragic situations where women have not discovered that there's a severe fetal abnormality, or that there is some risk to her own health, until her pregnancy is advanced to that stage."
Davis said such abortions are rare in Texas, "and I'm sensitive to the fact that they are occurring in places that really belong within the domain of a woman and her doctor to decide."
She also mentioned the "tragic situation" in Fort Worth of a pregnant woman who was kept on life support against the wishes of her family, even though she had been declared brain-dead.
"These are very personal decisions, and the Legislature cannot anticipate and accommodate every situation that might arise, and I don't think it's our job to try to do that," Davis said.
The Dallas Morning News reported earlier this week that in a meeting with its editorial board Davis said she would have supported a 20-week ban if the law gave enough deference to a woman and her doctor.
The newspaper reported that she also told its editorial board that said such abortions are rare and mostly happen when there are fetal abnormalities or serious risks to the mother, and that she said, "I would line up with most people in Texas who would prefer that that's not something that happens outside of those two arenas."
The Morning News reported that Davis said exceptions in the Texas measure, however, didn't go far enough.
"My concern, even in the way the 20-week ban was written in this particular bill, was that it didn't give enough deference between a woman and her doctor making this difficult decision, and instead tried to legislatively define what it was," Davis said, according to the newspaper.
The Dallas Morning News reported that Davis said she could have supported a bill that contained only a 20-week ban.
"It was the least objectionable," Davis said, according to the Morning News. "I would have and could have voted to allow that to go through, if I felt like we had tightly defined the ability for a woman and a doctor to be making this decision together and not have the Legislature get too deep in the weeds of how we would describe when that was appropriate."
Davis' campaign has said that she opposes late-term abortions except in cases of rape or incest; when the mother's life or health is endangered; or if there are severe, irreversible fetal abnormalities.
"Let me be clear when I talk about late-term abortion ... I am talking about third-trimester abortion," Davis said. Asked how many weeks she considered that to be, Davis said, "It's where the Supreme Court has really set that viability level."
The U.S. Supreme Court in Roe vs. Wade said the state could regulate and even forbid abortion after viability except when necessary to preserve the mother's life or health. It said then that viability could occur at 24-28 weeks. The decision is often described in terms of trimesters, as saying that states could pass laws to protect the fetus in the third trimester, with the exception of the mother's life and health.
Viability now is generally described as being considered to occur at 24 weeks.
The University of California San Francisco Medical Center website puts the third trimester of pregnancy at 27 to 40 weeks. The Office on Women's Health in the U.S. Health and Human Services Department puts the third trimester at 29-40 weeks, starting from the first day of a woman's last normal period.

BARONESS formed in 2003 in Savannah, GA, comprised of a group of friends who grew up together in Lexington, VA, a small town in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Shortly after their formation, the band released two EPs and a split EP with Unpersons entitled respectively, First, Second and A Grey Sigh in a Flower Husk. From their origin right through the release of these EPs, BARONESS toured non-stop throughout America and Europe, building up a steady underground fan base. In late 2006, the band began working on their first proper full-length, and debut for Relapse, Red Album. Recorded by Philip Cope (Kylesa), the album was a big step forward from the band's earlier material; they began to develop a sense of melody and song structure as a counter-balance to the EP's brute intensity. The release of Red Album saw the band touring world-wide and year-round for the next two years. The record received high critical praise, eventually garnering the #1 Album-of-the-Year slot in Revolver Magazine. In between tours, and exactly two years after writing Red Album, BARONESS returned to the studio to record a follow-up record. The band enlisted the help of Grammy-nominated engineer/producer John Congleton (Explosions in the Sky, St. Vincent, Black Mountain, etc.). In 2009, Relapse released Blue Record, another comprehensive step forward for the band's ever-evolving sound. The record continued the band's growing sense of melody while directing the focus to an "album-as-an-art-form" concept. Blue Record was named 2009's Album-of-the-Year by Decibel Magazine, and made an impact on the Best-Of lists in publications as varied as Pitchfork, Village Voice, PopMatters, Revolver, Rock Sound and Metal Hammer. BARONESS' mission statement has always been simple: keep an open mind, confront challenges, avoid repetition and take the music to diverse audiences. BARONESS toured constantly and extensively for two years straight with Blue Record, sharing the stage with such bands as METALLICA, MASTODON, DEFTONES, and ISIS. The band also played a variety of festivals, including Coachella (US), Oya (Norway), Bonnaroo (US) and Soundwave (AUS). BARONESS took the year off in 2011 for the first time in nearly a decade in order to focus on writing a new and more challenging third full-length album. After a year of writing and refining, the band entered Water Music Studios in Hoboken, NJ with co-producer John Congleton to record Yellow & Green. Tracked in both Hoboken and Congleton's own Elmwood Studio in Dallas, TX, the new full-length will be released on July 17th. Yellow & Green was released in July via Relapse Records and debuted at #30 on Billboard's Top 200 Album chart. The double-album was dubbed a "thrilling hard-rock epic" by Rolling Stone, the New York Times said the 18-track release included "a grand sprawl of riffs and ruminations" and Artist Direct, after awarding the band "Rock Band of the Year" honors said "they epitomize the spirit of the greats like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, while remaining wholly unique. It's something we need more of. Baroness are everything that a rock band should be -- and more." As the year came to a close, Baroness dominated year-end lists with Entertainment Weekly and Spin both naming Yellow & Green their #1 metal release of 2012 and iTunes awarding "Take My Bones Away" the distinction of best metal song of the year. Decibel (#2), Guitar World (#15), Loudwire (#4), Magnet (#12), Pitchfork (#3 on Metal Albums, #25 Best Albums of 2012), Revolver (#4), Stereogum (#18) and the Village Voice (#6) also gave the album top honors. Internationally, the album fared similarly, receiving top honors from Terrorizer (#2), BBC Music (#13), Metal Hammer Germany (#4), Metal Hammer Norway (#4), Metal Hammer UK (#14), Close Up Sweden (#4) and Visions Germany (#4). Stay tuned for more Baroness news. BARONESS is: John Baizley – guitars, vocals Pete Adams – guitars, vocals

4 Reasons Recruiters Should Stop Accepting Traditional Resumes
Sudy Bharadwaj is a co-founder and the CEO of Jackalope Jobs, a job seeker focused platform making the job search social, fast and easy. Learn how Sudy and Jackalope Jobs obsess over job seekers by connecting with them on Twitter.
For recruiters, social media is becoming less about connecting with friends and colleagues and more about job candidate research. A recent survey by Jobvite reported that 92% of recruiters use social media to find talent, an increase of 3% from last year. Even Facebook is now rumored to throw its hat into the social networking and job search ring, joining social media job search giant LinkedIn.
Many traditional methods of looking for jobs and job candidates, like faxing resumes to recruiters, are deceased. In the same sense, social networking is replacing many traditional tools of the job search trade, like the resume.
As CNN's Doug Gross asked in a recent article, "What hiring manager is going to make a decision based on an email attachment, when they can browse your LinkedIn and Facebook profiles, read the gory details in your blog and hit Google to find out more about you — good or bad — all in one sitting?"
In today's job market, recruiters are placing more emphasis on job seeker personalities depicted on social media profiles and creative resume enhancers than they are single sheet summary of their careers. The vehicles for the presentation of the resume are changing, so why call for traditional resumes at all?
Here are four reasons recruiters should stop accepting traditional resumes and instead focus their attention on the social job search when looking for new talent.
1. Better Representation of Candidates
The most obvious benefit to recruiting candidates socially is that their social media profiles are a better overall representation of their personal brand. The components of a traditional resume only give the recruiter a slice of job seeker's personal brand. While savvy job seekers have learned to enhance their resumes with video or infographics, recruiters still get a better idea of who they're pursuing by navigating social media profiles.
2. Social Media Shows Creativity
When it comes to social networking and job search, creativity thrives. The CNN article mentioned above gives a wonderful example of a creative use of the social media site Pinterest as a resume. Rachael King, a community engagement professional for Adobe, created the "living resume," which is a collection of high points in her career. The living resume provides King a visual representation of the work she's done that's much more exciting to sift through than bulleted list on a resume. Tumblr is another visual social media site ideal for photographers and artists looking for jobs.
3. Makes Candidates Three-Dimensional
Traditional resumes squash job seekers into a two-dimensional list of objectives, education, experience and honors. Most recruiters can't count how many times they've been thrilled by a resume, only to be disappointed by the candidate who comes to interview. Social media, especially tools like YouTube and Vimeo that incorporate video, allow job seekers to jump from the page and present themselves three-dimensionally, giving recruiters a first glance at who they're really bringing in for an interview.
4. Demonstrates Social Media Fluency
Utilizing social media sites to interact with customers isn't the only integration of social media employers are using in their business mix. More and more employers are embracing social media to engage employees internally. Because new hires are such an expensive business investment, recruiters who work for employers who use social media internally should treat social media fluency much like a required skill in a job posting.
An important note to the idea of ceasing accepting traditional resumes: It's not the right time for every employer. There are those who still use fax machines, after all. Recruiters who pursue candidates for highly technical jobs, for example, should continue to place more emphasis on quantifiable skills presented on a traditional resume than their D.I.Y. Pinterest board.

Increasingly, American homeowners want more enjoyment and livability from their outdoor spaces. It is about time.
According to a recent survey of its members, the American Society of Landscape Architects ("ASLA") has identified home owners' top outdoor living design trends for 2013. At the top of the list are outdoor rooms for entertaining and recreational activities. No surprise here – we have seen this trend over the past decade.
Homeowners want outdoor kitchens …
and entertainment areas.
Firepits and fireplaces have also grown in popularity among homeowners, followed by grilling spaces and seating/dining areas.
Homeowners still want all kinds of water features including fountains, waterfalls, ornamental pools, splash pools, swimming pools and spas. No surprise there, either.
And although patios, decking and fencing have been popular for many years, it appears they are still very much in demand by homeowners.
Finally, sustainable and low-maintenance gardening is on the rise and becoming more popular every day.
American homeowners are finally demanding reduced or no-mow lawns.
Grow your own vegetable gardens are the trend.
And the demand for drought-tolerant and native plants is at an all time high. With the costs of water increasingly rising, homeowners want water-wise drip irrigation and permeable paving.
Cisterns and other rain-water collection systems are now in vogue.
Perhaps, we are finally moving in the right direction!

Glenn's gift to his widow
AFTER she gave birth to their baby Phoenix last week, Goonellabah's Melanie Davis said her late partner Glenn Murphy gave her the greatest gift possible.
"To have this little part of him to carry on is the most amazing gift he could have given me," she said.
Mr Murphy died on January 17 when a westbound car lost control on Bangalow Rd at Binnaburra and smashed into the car he and a friend were travelling in to a basketball game at Byron Bay.
At the time Ms Davis was 18 weeks pregnant with Phoenix, the couple's second child together.
"It was a very difficult time but being pregnant held me together because I knew I had to be strong for my baby," Ms Davis said.
With a photo of Glenn watching over her, Ms Davies gave birth to 4.63kg Phoenix on July 3 at Lismore hospital after three-and-a-half hours in labour.
Choking back tears, Ms Davis said raising Phoenix without his father around will be very difficult. "It's going to be hard because Glenn was such a good dad," she said. "He did a lot, he was a real hands-on father."
Ms Davis said with the many photos of Glenn around the house his memory would live on through his children.
"We will make sure Phoenix knows his dad and knows how amazing he was."
She said the support of family, friends and his basketball mates had been amazing.
"It's going to be hard to do it by myself but I know I can.
"I have lots of friends and family for support."
"I just want to make Glenn proud of me and his boys."
Ms Davis said after finding out the sex of their baby she knew Glenn would be happy to have three boys.
"Glenn was showing off the scan to everyone at Christmas time, he was so proud.
"I chose the name Phoenix because a Phoenix is a mythical bird that rose from the ashes and he is my little Phoenix."
Mr Murphy is survived by Melanie and his three children Kyen, 8, Jayden, 15 months and Phoenix.

She felt hemmed in. Every second in this taxi was choking her. She could feel the sheen of sweat hovering over her skin. Her fingers tingled and twitched. She tried to breathe deeply, but the air was so thick.
The driver was talking about the crowds, the traffic. Suggesting alternate routes. She could hear herself responding, Sure, whatever you think best. No, no rush.
Yes, there was a rush. Get me out. They passed a hospital. She looked longingly at it, picturing the cool white beds. Slightly starchy, rough sheets. Breathe in, breathe out. Flex the fingers. Wipe sweaty palms.
The traffic thins out, as the pain radiates from the epicentre of her chest. Can you crack ribs from this pain, like a stress fracture, she wondered? The feeling that she is about to tip over the edge dances on the fringes of her vision.
Yes, thanks, up ahead on the left is fine, thanks. She falls out of the taxi like a limp noodle. Her throat hurts. Her teeth hurt. Has she been clenching her jaw again? Walk. Walk. Move forward. Say hello to the neighbour. Yes, lovely weather, isn't it?
Unlock door. Put bag & shoes away. Wash hands. Sip some stale water. Curl up in ball on the floor, and let the silent tears out. Home.

Like we needed any more proof that skittykatz should've been in the MLB Fan Cave instead of that Yankee-gear wearing imposter!
hahaha thank you charles! i'm working on my campaign for next year now! I've got some more ideas for player interaction this season 🙂
No problem, you really deserved it - you had player support, Twitter support, everyone support. You'd have repped us proud :).
I had some worries about Luke Scott when we signed him, somewhat based on the whole birther thing and whatnot. But I'm really glad to see that he seems to be well-liked in the clubhouse, and brings good energy to the team!
I feel like this team has a great dynamic, it's really special to see
I know what you mean, Killa, b/c I did, too. But reading over the weekend that he, Longo & 'Los (the 3 L's) led the all of MLB in RBI's for 3 players helped allay those concerns! That's exactly what we brought him & 'Los here to do & IT'S GR8 TO SEE IT HAPPENING!!! We've finally got a Designated Hitter who can HIT!! Gee, what a concept!! 😀
I think you've outdone yourself w/these pics, like the catwalk shot!! Not only are they great in & of themselves, but the captions are Wonderful, too ("Little League Mechanics" lol)!!! Big hat tip to you!!!
And, I was wondering the exact same thing about having sky blue caps!! I think that would look awesome! If they're resistant to that - for some odd reason, they can at least put a sky blue burst on the cap around the TB & maybe some other subtle highlight. I agree w/the stirrups, too!! Maybe add some skyblue highlight there, too, like piping 😀 Go Rays!!
Agreed - definitely look forward to seeing your pics. Do you take these yourself or off the tv?
"He took it and someone put it in the dugout." This is a highlight? Of course he took it. What's he going to do say, "No, I don't want it." Some of these fans really need to get grip.

In her latest blog, Jillian Harris talks about her thoughts on last night's "Men Tell All." She doesn't really touch on the whole Wes topic, but does talk about her favorite moments of the season as well as seeing all of her "ex-boyfriends" again as she puts it.
Below are some excerpts from her latest Bachelorette blog –
"If I have eliminated someone who you loved, I am sorry … I wish I could have kept every wonderful guy from the show but I am only looking for ONE man to make ME happy. I DO have an excellent judge of character and I do know what I am looking for in a unique individual to go through life with me.
Also, I want to clear up a little confusion about the perception of my "engagement standards" coming into this journey. I was not desperate for an engagement. I actually was very nervous about it and would be happy with no engagement if that were the right choice. All I wanted and would have been happy with was someone to love who loved me back. Someone who had some sort of conviction of how they felt, or was willing to make a sacrifice of any kind, as I had stated several times that I was eager to do the same. Not only is this conviction from the guy an indication for me to move forward with the relationship, but it is also an indication of what our life would be like post-show.
The Men Tell All was actually a blast! Well … it didn't start out so fun … I got to the set and was waiting and waiting and waiting to come out onstage. Now that I've seen the show I understand why! The guys clearly had a lot to get off their chests.
