first thanks for changing the title! it was a little confusing before.
next… all 360s output HD through either the Component cables or a VGA cable. that being said the only people this would be good for are the ones that bought a 360 before August of 2007. after this date all 360s come with a HDMI port stock.
If there are any of the people left whose Pre-08/2007 360 hasn't red ringed yet, it will, and $80 is better spent getting an arcade with an HDMI built in and the 65nmd processor.
^^^... I've had my 360 for a good 2.5 years (yes it was a launch console) and it hasn't red ringed yet…. I treat it right
This is actually good for those of us who still have the older ones. I can get this at a discounted price, so it's not THAT steep, what DOES suck however, is the fact that according to THEBITBAG, their review, i will do the upconversion to 1080p on games, but it won't do it for DVDs, which MadCatz claims it will… that being said if it can't do my movies, I'd rather just save that money and apply it toward a 2nd 360 I would like… an Elite
trying to imply that the people who have had RROD do not treat their consoles correct? i will let you clarify that before saying more… but you are a very lucky person! you should know that.. and your warranty for the RROD will be up in November so I might look into making it RROD so can get it warrantied or else be prepared to buy another.
and about the rest…
might check where you get reviews from..
The Bit Bag "It ran Assassin's Creed in full 1080p without a hitch and it looked beautiful."
as Assassin's Creed is not a 1080p game I wonder how he did that??? the 360 does 1080p gaming but there are only a few select titles that do it.
From what i understand of this product, the 360 thinks that a normal component cable is plugged in… then it converts that analog signal to a digital one for hdmi… it does not do any upconverting so can only output what it gets as input. so movies will only be in 480p unless you have a HD-DVD drive which upscales to 1080p..

My initial reaction when the Blue Jays re-hired John Gibbons as manager this week was, why? Not that he was a good manager or a bad manager, just, why? When we opened the phones throughout the day on TSN Radio 1050, the response was almost totally negative. Most listeners used the "been there, done that" logic.
After a couple of days of letting it all sink in, I've moved to the "Why Not?" camp. Gibbons has an infectious likable personality. He also managed a Blue Jays team that had decidely less talent to a .500 record, at 305-305 over the three full years and parts of two others that he guided the Jays from 2004 to 2008. The one year the Jays did load up, 2006, when they brought in A.J. Burnett and B.J. Ryan, Gibbons got them to second place with 87 victories. Yes, he did have run-ins or dust-ups as he put it on a few occasions, but the two main ones which occurred that year, with Shea Hillenbrand and Ted Lilly actually seemed to spark the team. In both cases, though Gibbons may have gone slightly over the edge, he stood up for himself and the organization and made it clear in no uncertain terms who was running the team, and his way was the Blue Jays way. Two things really sold me on Gibbons. One was the way that GM Alex Anthopoulos spoke so passionately about the hiring, saying he had more conviction about this move than any other he had made as general manager.
The second was hearing John McDonald on the Bryan Hayes show this week on TSN Radio 1050, saying how badly the players felt when "Gibby" was fired, how honest and straight forward he was and how he ran the clubhouse. Anthopoulos also lauded Gibbons for his handling of the bullpen, which many would argue is a manager's most important task.
Clearly, if Bobby Cox had been willing to come out of retirement, he was the Blue Jays' first choice. Bobby guiding the Blue Jays to their first division title back in 1985 before heading back to Atlanta at the conclusion of that season to become the Braves GM and ultimately their manager for a second time. There are certainly things about Cox that you can see in Gibbons. Namely, his passion, his fire and his pure love of the game.
There are only a handful of players still in Toronto who actually played for "Gibby" the first time around. Casey Janssen debuted with the Jays in 2006. Adam Lind and Dustin McGowan are still under contract. Pete Walker, who pitched for the Jays in 2006, was the bullpen coach in 2012 and Gregg Zaun works in the television side of things now.
Knowing Toronto, being friends with Anthopoulos should allow Gibbons to hit the ground running with a team that is now expected to be an instant contender. After some initial trepidation, I've got a feeling this just might work.
I don't know if Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News knows something we don't know or if it is just wishful thinking. He is still predicting Ricky Romero and J.P Arencibia will be in Texas by the time the season starts. He also believes the Rangers can land Zach Greinke and Nick Swisher.
Not too many managers get a second chance at running a club. The only ones I can remember over the last 40 or 50 years to have multiple stints with the same club are Billy Martin (five times with the Yankees), Danny Murtaugh (four times with Pittsburgh), Bobby Cox (two times with Atlanta), Cito Gaston (twice with the Blue Jays) and now John Gibbons. Of those other three, Cox and Murtaugh both won World Series at some point after their return to their old clubs.

7 Companies That Keep on Growing
NEW YORK ( Stockpickr) -- Investors sat through a lot of ups and downs over the last decade or so. The economy slumped when the dot.com bubble was pricked, rebounded nicely by the middle of the decade, and slumped anew as the decade wound down.
The U.S. economy appears to be back in rebound mode, but so many headwinds remain in place that we still may see yet another economic slump in coming quarters.
>>5 Stocks Ready for Big Dividend Boosts
To sleep well at night, you may as well focus on companies that will be growing this year, next year and the year after that. It's pretty easy to spot these companies. They boosted sales every year in the last decade, even as the broader economy was on a rollercoaster. These "rain or shine" businesses have pricing power, defensible market share, and myriad international expansion opportunities.Here are seven companies that have boosted sales every year in the last decade. Each one appears reasonably priced, trading for less than 13 times projected 2013 profits.

With nods to vintage cobbling techniques and the British punk movement, this young collection will jumpstart your wardrobe from the ground up.

This might seem strange, but Avi Nesher's "The Matchmaker" reminds me of "Me and Orson Welles" (2009). Both films are about two matchmakers on the prowl for a great new talent. One is about an Israeli matchmaker. The other is about Orson Welles, who wants to find the perfect actor to play young William Randolph Hearst. Let's leave Hearst out of this for the moment.
In Haifa in 1968, matchmaker Yankele Bride (Israeli stand-up comic Adir Miller) makes the strategic error of hiring 16-year-old Arik Burstein (Tuval Shafir). Yankele is full of street wisdom. "You don't know what you want. Yankele knows what you want," he tells his clients.
At night in those years, Yankele ran a shady gambling den with a flashy blond named Clara (Maya Dagan). The two tool around in a big American car. Yankele knows what he wants, and her name is Clara.
Arik's job is to act as a low-rent private eye and shadow the hopeful grooms who are Yankele's clients. All goes well until he gets carried away and shadows Yankele himself — who, it turns out, is living out of sight of the tax authorities, doesn't have an Israeli passport, and is, in Arik's naive eyes, an Israeli criminal. He doesn't understand these are some of the very qualities that make him attractive to a dame like Clara.
The cops bust Yankele, both Yankele and Clara skip town, Arik has destroyed two lives and even his patriotic father scornfully explains that "everyone knows what Yankele does," and how an incident during the Holocaust explains why he does it.
Meanwhile that summer, the hip, cool Tamara (Neta Porat), the cousin of Arik's best friend, is in town from New York. Though Arik is displeased by her behavior, he's smitten.
Years later, in 2006 in Haifa, Arik (Eyal Shechter), now in his 50s, has returned to Israel for Yankele's funeral. Turns out the matchmaker left Arik all of his money. At the funeral, Arik meets the original Clara, who is surprised that Clara wasn't mentioned in the will. Not to worry, she explains to Arik.
The story of the original relationship is told in rich comic flashbacks about this old chapter from history. One flashback concerns a family of six dwarves, who run the neighborhood movie theater, located in the very same raffish district where Clara and Yankele run their gambling operation, and where a very choice sort of ladies walk the streets.
This is a sweet, bittersweet comedy, well-executed if perhaps a little heavy on anecdotage. You know who might have made it in the old days? I kept thinking of Woody Allen. You don't know what you want. Woody knows what you want.

Better than expected
Romantic Ruche Gate-fold Invitations My daughter is on a tight wedding budget. We had ordeded invitations from another site and were very disappointed, the other invitations resembled post card material. So we were wary about how these might turn out. The online process was easy and there were many choices of color and font.They arrived in a beautiful box about a week have we ordered them. These invitations are so beautiful!! The colors are a perfect match and the paper quality is excellant. She selected the invitations that open like doors in the front and she is going to tie them with a satin ribbon.

Is it permisseble to have oral sex with your own wife

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear questioner, thank you so much for your concerns about your religion and Allah's teachings even in what concerns your sexual life with your wife.
As regards your question, it is to be noted, first of all, that all acts that aim at satisfying and pleasing the spouses are allowable so long as two things are avoided, that is anal sex and having sex with a wife while she is still in her menstruation. Thus, it is permissible for a husband and a wife to practice cunnilingus and fellatio. Following we'd cite the opinions of some well-known Muslim scholars in this regard:
The eminent Muslim scholar, Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi states:
"I was asked about oral sex in America and Europe when I began to travel to these countries in the early 70s. We are not used to be asked these questions in our Muslim countries. Those Western people are accustomed to stripping naked during sexual intercourse. These are communities of nakedness, and from the licentiousness of the woman that she wears nothing to screen her body in her daily life.
So, they are in need of more excitements during copulation. However, men in our Muslim societies see nothing in the Muslim woman that can excite them on the basis of her wearing either Hijab (veil) or Niqab (face cover). But concerning whether being in complete nakedness during practicing copulation is lawful or not, the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, is reported to have said, "Guard your private parts except from your wife or your slaves."
Muslim jurists are of the opinion that it is lawful for the husband to perform cunnilingus on his wife, or a wife to perform the similar act for her husband (fellatio) and there is no wrong in doing so. But if sucking leads to releasing semen, then it is Makruh (blameworthy), but there is no decisive evidence (to forbid it).
These parts are not dirty like anus, but it is ordinarily disgusting to man. But there is no decisive evidence to make it unlawful, especially if the wife agrees with it or achieves orgasm by practicing it. Allah, Exalted and Glorified be He, says: "And who guard their modesty, save from their wives or the slaves, that I heir right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy, but Who so craveth beyond that, such are transgressors." (Al-Mu'minun: 5-7)"
In the light of this, scholars maintain that the husband is allowed to enjoy his wife through any means of enjoyment except anal sex, for that is strictly forbidden.
Dr. Ali Jum`ah, professor of the Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence at Al-Azhar Univ., says further that licking, sucking and kissing spouse's sexual organs are all allowed, as long as it gives a person sexual gratification that will keep him away from Haram (unlawful) or starring at opposite sex (marriageable). But every Muslim must keep in mind that sexual intercourse is just a lust and passion that must be satisfied in a lawful way; it's not to be perceived as necessary as foods and drinks, as it's the case in the Western perverted ideology.
Shedding more light on this, Dr. Sabri `Abdul Ra'ouf, professor of Islamic Comparative Jurisprudence, at Al-Azhar Univ, says that it's allowed for the married couple to enjoy each other as long as what they do does not run counter to the teachings of Islam or violate the public norms. He also gives support to the view of Sheikh Al-Qaradawi that oral sex or kissing private parts of the spouse is something viewed disgusting to Muslims, but if the aim is just kissing (without having constant indulgence in it) it's not sinful to do that, but people of high morality normally keep away from that, as not to give in to imitating non-Muslims."
In conclusion, it has become clear now that oral sex is not prohibited, but it is not the normal choice for committed Muslims and Muslimahs. That's, despite that oral sex is not Haram, it is completely disgusting and does not conform to the pure taste and decency of a Muslim personality.
Here, it should be noted that one of the main objectives of Shari`ah is to safeguard the life of people and keep them healthy. Based on this, if it is scientifically proven that oral sex or such practices cause mouth cancer or form a danger on the health of a person who practices it, then it becomes totally prohibited.

"save from your wives or your slaves" so you can have sex with your slaves? they are like concubines?
(Oct 19 '13 at 11:03) abul rauf
hmm... base on my knowledge, some say it's okay, some say it's makrooh...
some say it's okay because Al-Qur'an only forbid to have anal sex, have sex while wife on her period, gain pleasure not from your wife, such as prostitute, masturbate and toy sex. as long as no one get hurt, you both can have sex in anyway you want as long as you gain pleasure by your spouse (I don't remember if the oral sex that allowed are when the husband ejaculate his semen into his wife's mouth, or the oral sex just for foreplay).
some say it's makrooh (I forgot whether it makrooh or haram...) because oral sex considered not lawful, you already have genital for sex, you supposed use your mouth for recite Qur'an and do zikir. oral sex in this case is oral sex when the husband ejaculate his semen into his wife's mouth... that's why it's haram (or makrooh)... but if the oral sex is only for foreplay it's okay (as far as I remember).
feel free to correct me if what I said is against Qur'an and hadith...
Other than ANAL SEX, their is no other sex with the wife is forbidden. As long as both husband and wife AGREE to indulge in it.....again AGREE first, then their is nothing wrong or filthy about it. Those who are against it simply assuming that neither you nor your wife does an ISTINJA or washing off of private parts with water after urination. If you do that and can PRAY YOUR NAMAZ with that so called "FILTHY"...!!!! part of your body hanging or existing between your legs then why can't you use it for sexual pleasure. How come it is permissible to have that part in your body and you can FAST in RAMADAN or read Namaz....!!! I don't see any hadith discussing about oral sex, that means it is more of personal choice.....!!!! Those who think that seemen in mouth makes your mouth dirty forever then they need to have their head examined....!!! Have they ever heard off word called "WASHING".... so as long as you wash it off and wash yourself off by bathing (if you have ejaculated or the female has reached orgasm by oral sex...) and do wadu their is nothing wrong. Reciting Quran or reading Namaz is prohbited if you are NAJEES by any means and it is permissable once you have taken proper teharat....!!!! so how can it be prohibited after oral sex... if you have cleaned your NAJASAT....!!!! Inhibition against oral sex is more mental than real.... it is same as a vegetarin who never ate meat is asked to eat one... he/she will be repulsed with the thought of eating a dead body.... where is for non-vegetarians it is delicious... because they never look it as a dead animal to begin with or they have been eating the meat since they started eating solid food.....!!!!
based on my reading and belief the quran prohibits anal sex .i haven seen a verse or aya which prohibits oral which means you can do oral sex with your own wife
What is Haram is clear in Islam and what is Halal too Is clear between them exist the doubtful things and he who distances himself from doubtful things, distances himself from Haraam. And The Quran gives you the liberty to enjoy your wife with No any inhibitions except for Anal Sex, when she's mensurating - No Farj sex but can still enjoy yourselves minus farj sex. I just want to say if one commits Oral sex with his wife IS NOT ZINA, even if it is not recommended and I consider oral sex on case by case basis but basically Makruf that can turn Haram depending on the case.

According of my knowledge and understanding the makrow part is because every man are slowed to enjoy their desire but its haram because it can bring sickness to your wife and plus the other views you minsion but staying away from such thing is better because if you going to pleasure then you will comment on haram. I'm not very high scholor but I have been told its haram.

Despite natural disasters reigning over the 2010/11 financial year, Flight Centre Limited is expecting to achieve record breaking profits before tax (PBT) between $234 million and $247 million.
The figure represents a 22.5-24.5 percent increase on the $198.5 million achieved over the financial year 2009/10 and surpasses the company's record breaking 2008/09 results of $201 million PBT.
Flight Centre managing director Graham Turner said the result would be 20 percent highest that its previous record and for the first time ever the agency company has achieved profits in each of its ten countries of operation.
"This includes the United Stated, which has achieved its first full year profit in the 12 years that FLT has operated in the country," Mr Turner said.
The US welcomed earnings before interest and tax of up to $2 million compared to the $2.3 million loss during the financial period last year.
A statement from Flight Centre read that the record breaking results were mostly pushed by MICE travellers, while leisure customers travelled "more discerning during 2010/11".
Mr Turner added that while Australian domestic travel is yet to resurrect to its former strengths the demand was not as "soft" as other retailers have reported.
"This is partly a reflection of the product we sell," Mr Turner explained.
"In the current climate, leisure customers are finding compelling reasons to take-off overseas, with international airfares remaining highly affordable and the strong dollar delivering a secondary benefit."
Mr Turner concluded that the company is focusing on achieving further records and profits during the 2011/12 business period in all of its operating geographies."Assuming normal trading conditions, we will initially target 10 percent profit and total transaction volume growth."
Flight Centre expects yearly profit

Why SodaStream's stock is bubbling up
PepsiCo denied it might buy the make-your-own-soda company, but someone else could be a likely acquirer.
Still, SodaStream kept its fizz because investors reckoned that if PepsiCo didn't buy SodaStream, someone else would. In fact, analysts at Barclay's argued that the shares could leap 44% as SodaStream continues to grow in popularity in the U.S. The company's recent quarterly results are cause for optimism.
Net income surged 19.5% to $12.1 million, or 57 cents per share. Revenue jumped 33.9% to $117.6 million, fueled by double-digit gains in sales for both Starter Kits and consumables, such as soda flavorings. Sales in the Americas, SodaStream's largest market, rose almost 90%. And the company boosted its earnings guidance.
The results beat Wall Street's expectations, but some investors remain concerned that SodaStream's growth prospects may slow. The stock is also a favorite of short-sellers, who profit when shares of companies they see as overvalued decline. Plus, costs are rising, and gross margins are declining.
Sales and marketing expenses in the first quarter rose to $38.9 million, or 33% of revenue, from $27.3 million, or 31% of revenue, a year earlier as SodaStream spent more on advertising. Demand outside the U.S. moderated as customers worked down their excess inventories.
On the plus side, SodaStream has done an effective job at leveraging its product with existing brands. Consumers can carbonate Kool-Aid, CountryTime Lemonade and Crystal Light flavors. There's obvious potential for more growth here.
Unfortunately for investors, the shares are pricey, trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 31.84, near a five-year high. But some analysts, such as those at Barclay's, think the stock has more room to run. They have a 52-week price target on it of $100, about 40% higher than where it currently trades. Most analysts, though, aren't as bullish. The average 52-week target is $69, less than where it trades now.
Investors who want to bet on a trendy drinkmaker should consider K-Cup producer Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR). Not only is its 28.78 multiple a bit cheaper than SodaStream's, but Wall Street analysts see the stock's potential upside topping 8%.

Edgar Cayce, Atlantis.
Hello All!
Onward from Sitchin to Cayce for a bit. Anyone care to join me? One question I had at the end of Sitchin's The 12th Planet was, where does Atlantis and Lemuria fit in with Sitchin's theories? Does he get into that in later books? Anyone know?
In the meantime, I thought I'd start in on a little Cayce and see what he had to say (or perhaps "relate" is a better verb?) about Atlantis. I've never read any Cayce and what I know is only what I've read/heard here. So . . . time to do my own investigation.
Anyone in the "cherry pit" care to join me in reading Cayce's Atlantis (as edited by his son)? It's a short read of only about 140 pages or so. Would love some company!

timeline musings
Oh boy . . . I have quickly learned that Cayce is not much of a help (so far) in identifying dates on when Atlantis existed. My hunch is, however, that this is because Cayce was not necessarily channeling from a source wedded to our demandingly restrictive linear time.
The following may end up being a stream-of-consciousness of me attempting to figure some of this stuff out. And away we go . . .
I have been attempting to reconcile what I have recently read in Sitchin's The 12th Planet and the very little I've read, so far, of Cayce's readings on Atlantis. In the timeline Sitchin outlines at the end of The 12th Planet, he puts the development of early homo sapiens at 250,000 BC, and--if I recall correctly--the sudden significant cultural development of man (a divinely inspired renaissance, if you will) occurred after the "deluge," which he places at 13,000 BC when certain Nefilim felt pity/empathy towards those remaining and blessed them with sudden knowledge (cultural, agricultural, sciences, architecture, etc.).
It seems, according to Sitchin at least in this book, that a highly developed society of men (as opposed to Nefilim and Annunaki) did not exist on the planet until 13,000 BC after the Deluge. Before that, we seemed to have been just worker droids. So does this mean that according to Sitchin's theory, Atlantis was sometime after the Deluge? That does not seem correct. Perhaps I need to read further into Sitchin.
Cayce seems to place "the Atlantean land in those periods before Adam." That would pre-date the post-Annunaki-mutiny when, according to Sitchin, "early homo sapiens" were created in 250,000 BC. So if Sitchin places Atlantis and Lemuria pre-Annunaki mutiny, then he is saying that Atlanteans and Lemurians were not human.
Aha! I think I've got it! . . . So Sitchin and Cayce may not be contradictory after all. Am I being "Captain Obvious" here?
Thank you all for indulging in my efforts to follow the logic of these two pioneers. This is the type of activity I engage in on my lunch hour at work! It's better than Facebook and Tweeting, eh?
Hope to get input/guidance/observations from others.

Climate Change
The Storm Ahead
The Earth's climate is changing at a rate that has exceeded most scientific forecasts. Some families and communities have already started to suffer from the negative side of climate change, forced to leave their homes in search of a new beginning.
For UNHCR, the consequences of climate change are enormous. Scarce natural resources such as drinking water are likely to become even more limited. Many crops and some livestock are unlikely to survive in certain locations if conditions become too hot and dry, or too cold and wet. Food security, already a significant concern, will become even more challenging.
People will have to try and adapt to this situation, but for many this will mean a conscious move to another place to survive. Such moves, or the adverse effects that climate change may have on natural resources, may spark conflict with other communities, as an increasing number of people compete for a decreasing amount of resources.
In addition to working on vital human rights issues relating to population displacement induced by climate change, UNHCR will adapt much of its environment-related planning and work to address the effects of climate change.

Police believe Sam Parker dumped his estranged wife's body behind a cornfield in Chattooga County 3 1/2 years ago, but even after the autopsy they can't tell how she died.
"You've got to take into account [Theresa Parker's] body was out in the elements for 3 1/2 years, subjected to many circumstances," Walker County, Ga., Sheriff Steve Wilson said Friday.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced Friday a medical examination showed Theresa Parker, a former Walker County 911 dispatcher, was a homicide victim. But the exam could not reveal what specific injury caused her death, GBI spokesman John Bankhead said.
"It's rare to determine the cause of death when you have a skeleton that's been out in the woods this long," he said.
Earlier this week, Chattooga County Sheriff John Everett said Theresa Parker's skull appeared to have a hole in it. Bankhead said it was not a bullet hole.
Her husband, Sam Parker, was convicted of murder last year even though her body had not been found.
Investigators don't think the new findings will help Sam Parker in the appeal that he filed shortly after he was convicted.
"It doesn't change the verdict at all," Wilson said.
Sam Parker, a former LaFayette, Ga., police officer, was sentenced to life in prison and is housed at the Georgia State Prison in Reidsville.
His attorney, public defender David Dunn, could not be reached Friday for comment.
A farmer found Theresa Parker's jawbone in a dry creek bed last week. The rest of her remains were found nearby.
Bankhead said an anthropologist and Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kris Sperry examined her bones earlier this week at the GBI Crime Lab in Atlanta.
Based on the exam, the investigation and the circumstances surrounding Theresa Parker's disappearance, Dr. Sperry classified her death as a homicide, he said in a news release.
The remains were taken to the South Crest Chapel of Lane Funeral Home on Friday where the family will plan a service, said her sister, Hilda Wilson.
"I'm just trying to make the arrangements," she said.
Joy Lukachick is the city government reporter for the Chattanooga Times Free Press Since 2009, she's covered breaking news, high-profile trials, stories of lost lives and of regained hope and done investigative work. Raised near the Bayou, Joy's hometown is along the outskirts of Baton Rouge, La. She has a bachelor's degree in mass communication from Louisiana State University. While at LSU, Joy was a staff writer for the Daily Reveille. When Joy isn't chasing ...
The GBI claims she was a homicide victim but do not know how she died or what specifically killed her???
What kinda Bureau Agents do they have down there...the kind who cheated on their entrance exams?
Here's a clue from a fed -- If they don't know how she died or what killed her, how can it be murder rather than an accidental death? Like falling in the river and drowning while drunk, for instance. Or justifiable homicide? Did they look upstream for a knife or a gun she might have threatened him with?
No, the fix is in. The cop did it whether he did it or not.
Interesting, this. The state finds a defendant guilty of murder in some degree without producing positive evidence that she is dead [her body], proceeds on circumstantial evidence alone and carries the day. Once in jail and the body found, the state -- in order to defend their conviction and jailing of the guy -- pontificates that he killed her even though they don't know how and the body bears no signs of being a murder victim...thus upholding their holy writ of guilt.
Once again, I MUST stay out of that state and that county in particular.
It would not surprise me to learn the court washed its hands afterward...they should have, with the filth of raped Themis on them.
This is the second report written on this, whatever. But yeah, guilt is assumed down there. It's easier since fewer decisions are involved.
There are many classifications of homicide but murder has only two degrees. Homicide, per se, isn't necessarily illegal. Justifiable, for instance.
If either of you were from around the La Fayette area then you would know that he is guilty. There was no doubt in anyone's mind here. The La Fayette Police Department and the Walker Co Sheriff's office are both extremely corrupt. If the GBI had not come in and taken over, Sam Parker would have never even been called a suspect. Parker was close friends with Sheriff Steve Wilson and even went through the police academy with him.
I'm not speaking as to the guilt, I'm simply addressing the classification as a homicide, which should not be taken as overly meaningful. It is not at all uncommon to use homicide to cover such uncertain circumstances.
And actually, murder itself is classifiable along several degrees. There are even places where they use the term "third-degree murder" though they may be different in meaning. It's really just a matter of terminology rather than a real difference.
Much like say, belt rankings in martial arts.
The crookedness of Walker/Catoosa Co/Ringgold/Lafayette has been going on for years and will never change. Law enforcement in those counties are gestapo. Until the feds come in and clean house and keep a constant eye on things it will never change. He probably killed her because he knew his buddies would bury the case and it almost worked.

NEW ORLEANS, LA - Five student-athletes from the Iona College men's track and field program were named to the 2012 USTFCCCA Division I All-Academic team. In addition, the team recognized as one of 85 institutions on the USTFCCA All-Academic Team list.
Graduate Alexander Soderberg, grad student Mitch Goose, rising senior Craig Murphy and rising sophomores Jake Byrne and Andrew Kowalsky were recognized for both their academic and athletic performances during the 2011-12 indoor and outdoor track seasons.
A total of 431 student-athletes representing 148 institutions compose the group. To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Track and Field Team, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 and have met either of the following athletic standards: for the indoor season, a student-athlete must have finished the regular season ranked in the national top 96 in an individual event or ranked in the national top 48 (collective listing) in a relay event on the official NCAA POP list provided by TFRRS.org; for the outdoor season, a student-athlete must have participated in any round of the NCAA Division I Championships (including preliminary rounds).
The Iona quintet joined Manhattan's Roman Ewald and Albert Johnson and Rider's Mike Soroko as Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference's representatives on the list.
As a team, the Gaels were one of 85 institutions to earn the distinction as a result of a cumulative team GPA of 3.00 or better. Iona's 3.20 GPA ranked 29th among the teams honored.

A Good Biotech Stock to Own for the Long Haul
Kanak is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Astex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ASTX) released its Q2 FY 2013 numbers, reporting a net loss of $4.18 million or $0.04 per share on revenue of $16.62 million. Astex is a small company involved in the discovery and development of small molecule therapeutics for treatment of cancer and blood disorders and derives all its revenue from a single drug, Dacogen.
Dacogen – down but not out
In the US, Dacogen is approved as a treatment of MDS or myelodysplastic syndromes, a condition where blood cells become dysfunctional. In Europe, it is used for treating AML or acute myeloid leukemia in elderly patients not suited for the standard induction treatment.
Approved since 2006, Dacogen went off-patent in March 2013 and lost its orphan drug exclusivity in May. With no generic version in the market as yet, revenue in second quarter FY 2013 was up 15% year-on-year. At $16.6 million it was $1 million more than what analysts were expecting. Net loss of $0.04 per share was also lower by 2 cents than the average estimate.
Dacogen's main competition is with Celgene's (NASDAQ: CELG) Vidaza, which is the second largest contributor to the company's revenue. Approved in 2004, the patent on Vidaza expired in 2011 but until now no generic version has appeared in the U.S. However, going by the company's plans for the future, competition from generics is likely by January 2014. Its patent in Europe expires in 2018 end.
Celgene sells much more of Vidaza than Astex manages to sell Dacogen. While sales of Dacogen in the U.S. amounted to $250 million in the last twelve months ended July, Vidaza contributed that much in the second quarter alone.
Developed by Astex, Dacogen, is licensed to Eisai Inc. and Johnson & Johnson. Dacogen still has patent protection in Europe as it was approved for treatment of AML in Europe only in September last year. Despite that, Astex expects royalties from Dacogen to drop in 2013.
That's not the end of it
Knowing very well that Dacogen is its bread and butter, Astex is underway in the development of an improved version of Dacogen, which it has named SGI-110. Administered subcutaneously, it is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials with the primary objective of defining lowest dose that achieves maximum improvement in pharmacokinetic profile and maximum tolerated dose. Essentially, it is designed for Dacogen's active ingredient, decitabine, to remain in the blood for a longer period so that it is more effective.
Keeping in mind that it can no longer depend solely on Dacogen, the company is evaluating AT13387 for refractory gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) and ALK positive Lung Cancer. It has recently moved on to mid-stage clinical trial after positive results from Phase I study.
Another pipeline product, ASTX727 is a combination product comprising of Dacogen's active ingredient and E7727, licensed from Eisai. It is intended to be a fixed dose product for efficient absorption of Dacogen in lower doses. The company intends to file an investigational new drug application by the year end.
Companies such as Novartis (NYSE: NVS) and AstraZeneca that are using Astex's Pyramid discovery platform for development of new products have also reported significant progress. Novartis has multiple studies in Phase I and II that focus on LEE011, a CDK 46 inhibitor, for treatment of breast cancer and melanoma. AstraZeneca has five studies in Phase I and Phase II for its candidate for advanced sold tumors, AZD5363.
Novartis reported an increase of 3% in net sales and 2% in operating profit for the second quarter 2013. Its investigative drug, RLX030 for treatment of acute heart failure (AHF), demonstrated a 37% decrease in mortality at six months after an episode as compared to traditional treatment. The drug was granted breakthrough status by the FDA in July this year. There is a lot riding on the success of this drug as there hasn't been a treatment breakthrough for AHF in the last twenty years.
This is the second Novartis drug to be granted breakthrough status in two months. In June the company's investigational drug, LDK378 was granted breakthrough status after it demonstrated a noticeable clinical response in patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase positive (ALK+) metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The road ahead
Despite encouraging second quarter results, which led Astex to revise 2013 revenue projection to $63 million, up from the $55 million estimate announced earlier, revenue in 2014 can only drop due to Dacogen's patent expiration in the U.S. Additionally, as the CEO said in the earnings report, R&D expenses are likely to go up due to drugs moving to late stage trials.
Of importance is the fact that despite going off patent, revenue from Celgene's Vidaza increased in 2011 as well as 2012 –32% and 17% respectively – to reach $823 million. This was primarily due to non-appearance of generics, and a similar situation can be expected for Dacogen as well. Vidaza and Dacogen are the only two drugs in their class and difficult to copy/manufacture, making production of generics expensive.
In addition, being similar in structure as Dacogen, SGI-110 stands a good chance of getting FDA approval. If approved, it has the potential of becoming a blockbuster drug and turning the Astex story around.
My take
Astex is a small-cap company with a market cap of only $500 million. However, a lot of growth in biotech has been in oncology, and as discussed above, Dacogen may be down but is not out. From an investor's point of view, I believe that Astex has a good potential for growth in the long run – say, two to three years.

My broad area of expertise is British Romantic Literature and Culture, and I maintain research and teaching interests in the History of Medicine (especially the history of surgery), Body Studies, Gothic, and Speculative Fiction. My research attends to treatments of the body at the interesections of literature and medicine in the "Romantic Century" (1750-1850), particularly in terms of the construction and representation of authority as it relates to notions of health, illness, and "bodiliness." My current project addresses what I call "patient narratives" and examines what it meant to be a patient in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Very comfortable house in a secluded location.
Really cosy and well equipped home. It is much bigger than the impression given by the photos and feels very light - the views from the lounge are lovely. The hot tub was great and there was even a massage chair. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The property was easy to find with clear instruction from the owner and just a few miles from a dual carriageway leading to Reykjavik. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
