NEW! The DSD Posturing Buck
Decoying deer is incredibly exciting and the fastest growing segment of archery white tail hunting! If you have been interested in decoying deer, but have had limited success or even negative reactions with deer decoys, come and experience the DSD difference. Decoys of the past have been in rigid, splayed, and alarming poses or just in poses that didn't elicit a reaction of any kind. Many are of an unnatural size or finish and full of visible seams. The DSD Posturing Buck is the first and only decoy ever to be made in the posturing pose. He has the correct stance and attitude in ears, body and head, plus a bristled coat. He has all the usual DSD attention to fine detail, anatomy, and color and best of all, he's virtually seamless and always to accurate shape and pose-including the ears! Made in the USA with super durable A.C.E. Technology. The DSD Posturing Buck had a better initial field trial than any other DSD to date! Some assembly required.
The DSD Posturing Buck is for use during archery seasons only or for law enforcement by professionals. DO NOT use the decoy if any rifle, shotgun, or muzzleloader seasons are in progress. Wear hunter orange while placing the decoy and always add the antlers last and remove them first. Use treestands instead of groundblinds to elevate yourself out of a possible line of fire.
The DSD Posturing Buck is not designed to be an ultra-portable and easily disassembled decoy. It is designed to have as few seams as possible and be ready to go and not assembled at the hunting sight. The decoy's body is shipped in 2 halves in the same box along with the removable ears and the removable antlers. We recommend assembling the decoy before use in the field. There are no tools required for assembly and all of the hardware is included with the decoy. Full assembly takes about 10 minutes. For safety NEVER transport this decoy to and from the field with the antlers installed.
The DSD Posturing Buck comes complete with both a fiberglass field stake for setup in the field and a stabilizer base for use on hard or frozen ground. The Stabilizer Base, is a 24" x 24" brown powder-coated metal frame that provides excellent stability without staking.
"The difficult part about the deer sculpture was its overall size, and the lack of good reference available of deer in the posturing/bristling pose. My big break came when a friend of mine showed me his homemade video of multiple bucks approaching each other in the pose, from sever angles. As usual, we would be nowhere without our friends who are also our customers!"
- Dave Smith, Founder and Lead Design of DSD and avid hunter

An Air Force pilot's former high school counselor is sharing memories of him after he was killed in a fighter jet crash in Afghanistan.
Captain James Steel, 29, graduated from Cactus High School and then earned his degree at the Air Force Academy.
He was piloting an F-16 near Bagram Air Field when it crashed April 3.
Sandra Meyerson was Steel's counselor in high school. It's been more than 10 years since he graduated, but she remembers him as an excellent student with aspirations to go far in the military -- one of those students you don't forget.
"What a tragedy and how sad it is for us to have lost such a hero," she says. "He was motivated, he was hardworking, he was intelligent, he was polite, and he was a leader. You can't ask for more than that in your students."
Steel was stationed at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina, but did his pilot training at Luke Air Force Base.
"He had set a goal for himself to get to the Air Force Academy, and he did. I remember him wanting to be a doctor however, and he ended up being a pilot."
It's another painful reminder of the sacrifices our service members make.
"Freedom isn't free," Meyerson added.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Robert Pattinson said he would like to pursue a music career after he finishes the "Twilight" movie series. Read more on Rob Pattinson's musical aspirations and hear him sing "Never Think" from first Twilight movie below.
The "Twilight" heartthrob is actually a songwriter and sings the track "Never Think" that was included on the soundtrack for the first Twilight movie.
Although Pattinson dreams of having a music career, he worries being known as vampire Edward Cullen would hinder his being successful.
He said: "I write songs, that's true. I'll record a few tracks as soon as I finish the promotion for the movies, but before I won't to do anything. I don't want to release an album which has a sticker on it saying, 'By the vampire of 'Twilight',' on it.
"If the record is released one day there won't be my name or my picture on the cover. Everyone would be biased. No one would listen to it."
Pattinson said his dream was to work his way to success by beginning playing in bars but he said his fame has ended his plans.
He added to Paris Match magazine: "Before I was famous I would have loved to perform in bars and pubs. But this isn't possible anymore."

- Friday, March 31, 2006
There's nothing wrong or immoral about wanting to achieve success. It becomes immoral only when that desire is colored by greed. True success is a natural by-product of Solomon's wisdom on diligence, communication, partnering, and the other subjects I've covered in this book. The key is keeping your efforts to succeed in the right perspective. Be on the alert for warning symptoms of greed; seek the counsel of others who care about you and your family. Doing so will enable you to keep greed from gaining a foothold in your heart and in your life.
Solomon's Guidelines for Achieving Success Without Greed
Solomon offers several guidelines for acquiring success and wealth.
Focus on achievement rather than money. What do you really want to achieve with your life, your family, your career, or a particular job or project? When you know what you want to achieve, then it's simply a matter of applying what you've learned about diligence and strategy. In Proverbs 14:23, Solomon wrote, "In all labor there is profit. But mere talk leads only to poverty." If you apply true diligence to your labor in any project, you will experience significant success most of the time—as long as your drive for achievement doesn't cause you to set aside any of your more important values or priorities.
Use your labor to achieve financial success, rather than chasing wealth in other pursuits. Solomon says in all labor there is profit. He tells us to bring diligence and excellence into our labor. My labor is marketing. Warren Buffett's labor is investing. I have made a lot of money through my work and lost a lot of money by trying to make money in fields outside of my field of expertise. If you bring diligence and excellence into your labors, you will make money. If you apply Solomon's wisdom to spending (limiting your debt to appreciating assets), then your savings will grow. If you apply his wisdom to investing (seeking a multitude of counselors and not trying to get rich quick), then your investments will grow at a significant rate.
Don't try to get rich. Solomon clearly teaches us not to set our focus on getting rich. Doing so is the quickest way to go broke. In Proverbs 23:4–5, he writes, "Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle." The times I've invested in projects with the intent of getting rich, I've lost my investment. On the other hand, when I have kept my focus on achieving goals through my labor, I've had more success than I could have ever imagined. Everyone wants to win a lottery. Everyone wants to get rich with as little effort as possible. But for every one out of 50 million people who hold a winning lottery ticket, there are 49,999,999 who throw their tickets (and money) in the trash. The same is true with get-rich-quick schemes. For every winner, there are millions of losers. On the other hand, 100 out of every 100 people who apply diligence and excellence to their labor will ultimately succeed. Although it involves a lot more effort, I like those odds a whole lot better.
Acquire success and wealth the right way, which brings no sorrow. As you work to acquire success and wealth, how can you tell if greed is your driving force? Solomon answers that question in Proverbs 10:22 where he writes, "It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, and He adds no sorrow to it." If your pursuit of success has caused you to lose your spouse, your children, your values, your ethics, or your integrity, then greed has probably been a driving force. On the other hand, if you achieve success without discarding your values or neglecting your family, then God is free to bless you; and you can escape the sorrows that often accompany success and wealth in today's culture.

After a 2-year long investigation, Phoenix Police have taken down a prison gang accused of working with a street gang to commit crimes throughout Arizona.
Six people involved in the operation were indicted.
Angel Lopez Garcia, the alleged ringleader who is currently incarcerated and his wife, Carmen Fischer Garcia of Phoenix were named in the indictment.
According to the indictment, Garcia directed drug sales, extortion, fraud, money laundering and homicides while in federal and state prison, and used other gang members and associates to facilitate these offenses. His wife, who was his attorney before they were married, allegedly deposited thousands of dollars in his prison accounts.
The other four indicted -- Rosio Robles Gonzales, Oralia L. Garcia, and Tanya Garcia-Ochoa, of Phoenix, and Rosemary Ann Garcia, of Bisbee, are believed to be female associates within the gang.
Arrest warrants were served on Friday and everyone involved was taken into custody.
Warrants were served in Phoenix as well as Bisbee, arresting suspects accused of multiple money laundering charges, the sale of dangerous drugs, and solicitation to commit murder.
"When you're talking narcotics and the sale of narcotics and the organized crime specifically around those narcotics, it's something that we have to stay on top of," said Phoenix Police Chief Daniel Garcia.
Garcia faces 159 different counts, including homicide and leading a large prison gang.

Kids are natural targets for identity thieves because the crime can go undetected for years. Unfortunately, school is one of the places where a child's personal information can easily be compromised.
Officer Jason Caravaglia with Henrico County Police and the Central Virginia Crime Prevention Association says protecting your child's ID at school is a serious matter. If crooks get their hands on the information filled out on all those school forms, it could lead to identity theft.
"They are stealing that information and you won't find out until the kid is ready to go to college, when he applies for a credit card or a bank loan," he says.
Police say with a down economy, crooks are desperate.
"They are out of work. They are out of jobs. It's a big white collar crime now. They are taking the children's information because we really don't do a credit check on a 9-year-old," Caravaglia explains.
The FTC is also warning parents about the risks of identity theft. In two publications, it offers helpful tips. It reminds parents to pay attention to material sent home through mail or email that ask for personal information. Also, ask about your school's directory policy and how that data can be shared.
Another tip: Find out who has access to your child's information.
"I know Henrico county, for a fact, does secure all the documents of the children in a safe," Caravaglia added.
Do a credit check on your child with the three major credit agencies. Your child's credit should be clean, but if not, there's a problem.
"That is something you want to try to check once a year to make sure their credit is good. It is something that we have never done before as parents. You know, do a credit check on a 5-year-old, but it is an increasing white collar crime and it is something you are going to have to do now," Caravaglia explains.
If you suspect your child is a victim of ID theft, contact their school and the police, then request a fraud alert on their credit file.
"Don't carry your child's birth certificate in your purse or social security cards in your purse. When you are giving information out, make sure you know why you are giving it out. If someone asks for their social security number, make sure you ask why," adds Caravaglia.
One red flag that your child's identity has been compromised is if you start receiving credit card offers in their name. If you have questions about your child's privacy at school, don't hesitate to contact their school.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was able to personalize the product so easy! My pictures were not of great quality because I used two from my phone but they came out gorgeous!! The paper was perfect! Everyone one of my guests said that it was different and unique and loved the rustic homey feel! My aunt actually wants to buy a set for her daughters wedding! I would high recommend this item!!!!! The designer was great to deal with! Answered me back right away with changes!!"
"I loved this product. The colors were accurately represented and the quality of the post cards were wonderful! My favorite part of this experience was receiving a hand written thank you note for my purchase=)"
"I am so impressed with the Save the Date cards I ordered. I live in the UK and couldn't find the right product on UK sites, but this site had just what I wanted and at a really reasonable price. The international delivery was also excellent and I was kept updated at all times as to when the cards would be delivered. The fact that a designer could make special amendments and then send the design for approval is really impressive. I have recommended the site to all my friends and they are all really impressed with the cards and have commented on how professional they look!"
"I am so pleased with my purchase of these postcards for our save the dates. I love the fact that I could select a custom color to go with our theme. The design process is easy and representatives are available for questions. The paper is a good thick card stock to make them durable for sending in the mail without an envelope."
"Ordered these awhile back. Everyone loved them! We added our own pictures and customized the color and font. It was easy and cheap to mail out since it was a postcard. Just be careful as they are postcards, a few edges got bent in the process of sending/receiving to family."

Essential Info
Built upon Love
The forced polarity between form and function in considerations of architecture—opposing art to social interests, ethics to poetic expression—obscures the deep connections between ethical and poetical values in architectural tradition. Architecture has been, and must continue to be, writes Alberto Pérez-Gómez, built upon love. Modernity has rightly rejected past architectural excesses, but, Pérez-Gómez argues, the materialistic and technological alternatives it proposes do not answer satisfactorily the complex desire that defines humanity. True architecture is concerned with far more than fashionable form, affordable homes, and sustainable development; it responds to a desire for an eloquent place to dwell—one that lovingly provides a sense of order resonant with our dreams. In Built upon Love Pérez-Gómez uncovers the relationship between love and architecture in order to find the points of contact between poetics and ethics—between the architect's wish to design a beautiful world and architecture's imperative to provide a better place for society.
Eros, as first imagined by the early lyric poets of classical Greece, is the invisible force at the root of our capacity to create and comprehend the poetic image. Pérez-Gómez examines the nature of architectural form in the light of eros, seduction, and the tradition of the poetic image in Western architecture. He charts the ethical dimension of architecture, tracing the connections between philia—the love of friends that entails mutual responsibility among equals—and architectural program. He explores the position of architecture at the limits of language and discusses the analogical language of philia in modernist architectural theory. Finally, he uncovers connections between ethics and poetics, describing a contemporary practice of architecture under the sign of love, incorporating both eros and philia.
About the Author
Alberto Pérez-Gómez is Saidye Rosner Bronfman Professor of the History of Architecture at McGill University. He is the author of Architecture and the Crisis of Modern Science (MIT Press, 1983) and (with Louise Pelletier) Architecural Representation and the Perspective Hinge (MIT Press, 1997).
"It is as if the author has created a gathering of characters from history (Ficino, Vico, Piranesi, and others who advocated a poetic vision of architecture) outside of time. The book's riveting moments stem from the author's intimate rapport with them." —Canadian Architect
"Built upon Love adds yet another footnote to Plato, more specifically to the Symposium. But what a footnote it is! Informed by an extraordinary understanding of both the history of building and the history of ideas, it reminds us that, to the extent that architecture allows itself to be ruled by the material and political realities of our technological world, it loses sight of the bittersweet love that alone can ground both the ethics and the poetics of architecture."
—Karsten Harries, Professor of Philosophy, Yale University

Whether it's a reaction to the complicated styles of past years or an answer to the bright and bold prints of the summer, one of fall's biggest trends is minimalism. Women are forgoing intricate, patterned ensembles for neutral-colored outfits that boast little embellishment.
However, it can be tricky to determine what type of makeup pairs best with an otherwise pared-down look. Should you opt for no makeup at all or simply stick to a color palette similar to the hues in your outfit? Interestingly enough, the answer seems to be quite the opposite.
According to celebrity stylist Mary Alice Stephenson, women should use their makeup or nail polish to add a pop of color to the neutral tones of the minimalist look, StyleList.com reports. She added that a bold red or pink lip is a wonderful addition to a camel or gray-hued get-up.
When rocking bright lipstick, it is important to keep the rest of your makeup simple. Subtly define your eyes with black water-resistant mascara (though blondes and redheads may want to use brown mascara, as it will look more natural on lighter lashes) and a light dusting of nude shadow that boasts a slight shimmer.

What to Bring
There is no requirement to bring any kind of IT device to the University. Most colleges and departments will provide some kind of open access computing facilities including printers. There is typically a modest charge for printing to cover costs of paper, toner, etc.
However, the majority of students (90+%) do bring a laptop. Most also bring a phone, usually a smartphone of some kind. There are no restrictions on what kind of device you should bring, what make, model, operating system or what software you should use. Individual departments may have recommendations and will let you know directly if this is the case.
You may find the Freshers Survey Report useful to see facts and figures on what previous year's freshers have brought with them. The report also shows divisional breakdowns. For example, freshers in MPLS (Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division) are more likely to use Unix/Linux systems which means that there should be good access to support, both formal and informal in that division. More unusual software or configurations are suppported on a best efforts basis.
Generally, students do not use their laptops to take notes in lectures and few lecture rooms have power available to seats. Lecture notes are typically available to print out either before or after the lecture, often via Weblearn. The majority of students live in the city centre, close to their place of study, reducing the need to carry round expensive devices.
You should bring any software CDs or licences, in case of hardware problems which may require a re-install, and warranty documents.

Jaguar made a sensational decision in producing the XKR-S Coupe and they have decided it's time to expand the impressive line-up with the addition of a new Convertible model. The new XKR-S Convertible made its world debut at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show and is the most powerful and fastest open-topped GT Jaguar has ever built.
The convertible uses the same 5.0-liter supercharged AJ-V8 engine as the coupe version. It delivers a total of 543 HP and a peak torque of 502 lbs-ft; enough power to sprint the car from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds on its way up to a top speed of 186 mph.
Just like the coupe version, the XKR-S Convertible received an impressive aerodynamic package that helps maintain stability in an open-topped car capable of speeds as high as 186mph. More than that, all the exterior changes make the XKR-S look more aggressive and sportier than ever.
Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar Global Brand Director says, "There is nothing as liberating as life behind the wheel of an open-topped Jaguar and the new XKR-S Convertible takes the Jaguar GT experience to new heights."
UPDATE 02/02/2012: Jaguar has unveiled a new video showing the XKR-S Convertible as it plays in the snow somewhere in Finland. Enjoy!
More details on the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S after the jump.
The most important part of designing the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible was prepping the aerodynamics to appropriately deal with the vehicle's 186 mph top speed. The Jaguar underwent extensive computational fluid dynamics, wind tunnel, and track work to make all of the needed changes. This resulted in a new bumper design which incorporates a wider, lower air intake, a carbon fiber splitter, and twin side nacelles. There are also new sills which serve to both smooth the horizontal airflow and emphasize the 10mm reduction in ride height. The rear has received a unique rear wing with a carbon fiber inlay and a new rear apron featuring a carbon fiber diffuser. All of these changes helped in reducing the overall lift by about 26% and balanced aerodynamics in the front and rear for added stability.
After the aerodynamics were where Jaguar needed them to be, the sports car was then treated to a gloss black paint job (available as standard) and a dark technical finish of the lightweight, forged 20" Vulcan design alloy wheels. All told, the XKR-S Convertible will be available in six optional colors, including Polaris White and British Racing Green, a tribute to Jaguar's competition heritage. The standard black and six other optional colors are also transferable to the convertible's hood, which opens and stows in just 18 seconds and has been proven at the car's maximum speed.
Once the hood is comfortably stowed, the luxurious and sporty interior is bared for all to see. It comes with carbon-leather trimmed versions of Jaguar's Performance seats with integrated head rests, racing harness cut-outs, and increased side and squab support to hold driver and passenger securely during high speed cornering. The comfort level is increased with the 16-way adjustable, heated seats featuring carbon leather highlights and contrast micro-piping only found on this particular model.
Jaguar has also added a multifunction three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel and Jaguar-embossed bright stainless steel pedals. The center console is finished in gloss black and contrasts with the standard, but exclusive dark aluminum finish. A Piano Black finish is also available as an option.
The XKR-S Convertible is powered by the same 5.0-liter supercharged AJ-V8 engine found in the Coupe model. This engine incorporates spray-guided direct injection and variable valve timing for great efficiency as well as prodigious power. It delivers a total of 543 HP and 502 lb-ft of torque, an 8 percent increase in power and 9 percent increase in torque when compared to the Jaguar XKR.
When combined with the six-speed automatic gearbox with Active Differential, this RWD sports car can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds on its way up to an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph.
The engine is combined with an active exhaust system for that deep and throaty exhaust note, but is handled by revised front and rear suspensions, including a redesigned aluminum front steering knuckle and revised rear geometry, as well as stiffer springs and dampers. These elements are joined by forged alloy wheels - which also offer greater traction and grip levels - a Dynamic Stability Control system, and a High Performance Braking System.
The new Jaguar XKR-S Convertible went on sale in early 2012. During its official debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Jaguar announced that the North American market will get a total of 25 units of the XKR-S Convertible. With a starting price of $138,875, this would be a dream car for any true sports car fan out there. But there's a catch: all the 25 units have reportedly been sold in advance of the car's debut.
It was hard enough to find a proper competitor for the XKR-S Coupe when it was unveiled, so we'll stick with the same formula for the Convertible. The Jaguar XK R-S Coupe was appropriately matched up with the BMW M6 Coupe, leaving the XKR-S Convertible to do its own thing with the M6 Convertible . Rumors state that the new M6 will use a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 engine with an increased output of up 600 HP. Clearly, the M6 Convertible has the hand with power, but only if the engine rumors are true. For right now. we'll stick with the facts.
- Jaguar's most powerful and fastest open-topped GT
- Tested tried and true aerodynamics
- Handling was also given a refresher to deal with the added power
- Future M6 Convertible may knock it down with its extra power
- No pricing has been revealed

There were 5 am cabs but hardly anyone wants to come home. The PUMA Social Party left our friends in Indonesia asking for more. We don't blame them. Where else can you find a party that encouraged you to play? A night of revelry, a fun round of pingpong, a wild ramble for drinks and darts.No other party comes close to PUMA Social.
DJ Noxx jumpstarted the night by inviting After-Hours Athletes to partake in random social games like ball putting, a giant Suede shoe knock out game and good ol' takraw challenge. Winners took home goodie bags filled with PUMA stuff.
All night beats were provided by Bottle Smoker, Teenage Illionaires (YIF), DJ Bone (Spinach), Chantal. It was a smashing success, we say how about a round 2? Watch out!

CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) - Bond was set at $200,000 for both of Kate Waring's acquaintances, who may have seen her last and were arrested and charged with obstruction of justice and forgery.
Ethan Mack, 29, and Heather Kamp, 30, who reside at 687 Riley Road, are both being held in the Charleston County Detention Center, police said in a release.
Mack and Kamp are dangerous, said Judge Linda Lombard, who added the pair's criminal record also contributed to her decision to set a high bond.
Kamp is a fugitive in four states with a second degree robbery conviction, Lombard said.
Mack had a couple of drug charges and one gun charge from 2007 that is still pending, she added.
Mack's lawyer said his Charleston roots would not make him a flight risk, but Lombard disagreed.
Janice Waring, Kate's mother, was at the bond hearing.
"We feel hopeful," Waring said after the hearing. "We dearly love her. It's been heartbreaking for our family not to know where she is and I'm just hoping that something will break pretty soon."
Waring, 28, vanished on June 12, after she went to a West Ashley gym, a CVS pharmacy and a Japanese steak house. Surveillance video captured her at the George Street pharmacy at around 8 p.m.
Four days after Waring went missing, Mack and Kamp told investigators at around 11:45 p.m. They had dropped off Waring at her Murray Boulevard home in Downtown Charleston.
On September 28, Kamp changed her story and told investigators the story was a lie, an affidavit shows.
The affidavit did not recount Kamp's new story about what happened the night Waring went missing.
On June 15, three days after Waring disappeared; warrants also allege the pair tried to deposit a fake $4,500 check at the South Carolina Federal Credit Union on Folly Road.
Through the investigation it was determined the signature on the check was forged and not that of Miss Waring, police said in a release.
In light of the new developments, Kate's parents released a statement Wednesday which said, ""We are very thankful for the hard work of the Charleston City Police Department and their effort to help bring Kate home.
We miss our daughter dearly and hope she can be found as soon as possible. We respectfully ask that all questions regarding the police investigation be directed to the proper authorities," the release said.

The story of the year in metro Atlanta almost certainly was voters' rejection of the $7.2 billion transportation sales tax. That's true not only because the result was so lopsided in a region famous for its traffic congestion and desperate for relief, but because the clear message was that voters torched the T-SPLOST due to a lack of trust in government.
But what does "lack of trust" mean in practice?
Happily, an opinion poll commissioned for, and reported last Sunday by, the AJC translated the public's lack of trust into numbers. It suggests ethics reform is key if the Legislature is to shore up the trust deficit.
Sixty percent of those polled last month, in the same 10 metro Atlanta counties that voted down the T-SPLOST in July, said they believe "people in the government waste a lot of money we pay in taxes." The same percentage said "not many" or "hardly any" of the folks in government are honest.
That's 60 percent who think government wastes money and 60 percent who think people in government tend not to be honest. The "no" vote in the T-SPLOST vote was a remarkably similar 63 percent.
That said, wastefulness and honesty are not equally problematic in the public's mind.
When asked what would restore their trust in government, about a quarter of poll respondents suggested something along the lines of using existing funds more efficiently or making real progress toward solving transportation problems.
But almost twice as many – 49 percent of those polled — said "restore honesty," "more accountability," "more transparency," or "less spending on special interests/connected people."
Spending more on transportation isn't going to be an option anytime soon: Gov. Nathan Deal last week warned legislators there will be precious little money in this year's budget for new initiatives.
More abundant in 2013 will be ethics legislation.
On Wednesday evening, Sens. Josh McKoon, R-Columbus, and Steve Henson, D-Tucker, briefed supporters of the Georgia Alliance for Ethics Reform about some possible bills in next year's legislative session. They include, yes, the $100 limit on lobbyists' gifts to legislators that I and many others have promoted for some time. But others may be even more important.
McKoon has already prefiled two constitutional amendments. One dedicates a set percentage of the general budget to the state ethics commission, so that investigated lawmakers can't retaliate by cutting the agency's funding. The other creates such new tools for rooting out corruption as a statewide grand jury, an idea that's also been kicked around for a few years.
Other bills may address such issues as the "revolving door" through which some state workers pass on their way to working for the companies they used to regulate; the lack of personal financial disclosures for some members of state boards and commissions whose conflicts of interest currently aren't aired publicly; the lack of a sunshine law for legislative records; and various problems with the filing system for disclosures already required by law.
These reforms might not have obvious ties to transportation policy. Public sentiment is quite clear, though, that a general perception of impropriety among public officials is crimping our government's ability to perform such basic functions as improving transportation infrastructure.
That's one more reason ethics reformers need to get a move on.

For the Georgia Legislature, all roads lead to nowhere. Our elected louts cannot temper their greed , and are incompetent to do anything useful for the state of Georgia, save build a fishpond or two.
Has there ever been a state government as useless as Georgia's? I cannot think of one thing the state has done to address high unemployment, high crime, inadequate education, inadequate infrastructure, flood control and water management . Can you?
The Georgia electorate persists in electing and reelecting incompetents year after year. Is there any hope that Georgia, particularly the Atlanta metro, will ever regain the growth and prestige enjoyed under Democratic Presidents, Governors and Legislators?
December 17th, 2012
6:39 am
Hard to believe Atlanta could have any problems at all, ethical or otherwise. It's been run by Democrats for just about forever. And yet, its infrastructure is falling apart, its education system is corrupt and sucks, and crime is horrendous. Why don't they just raise taxes and fix all these problems?
December 17th, 2012

I trust David Ralston to oversee ethics reform about as much as can throw him, and he is a very big man. The same as far as our governor, or most of our legislators.
It's like having a fox, possum, hawk, and coyote design the chicken pen for you!
December 17th, 2012
6:47 am
Some of the proposed changes make sense–I'm all for more disclosure and transparency. The $100 limit seems like an invitation to gaming the system–either ban gifts completely or have no limit but require full disclosure on the web. And the revolving door problem just seems unenforceable and probably unconstitutional.
December 17th, 2012
7:38 am
"a general perception of impropriety among public officials is crimping our government's ability to perform basic functions"
Let me point out that a main contributor of that perception is the steadfast refusal of elected officials to impeach one of their own when necessary, and the one who should be impeached is from their own political party. (They have no problem impeaching the opposition's members.) The proceedings in SC a couple of years ago are the rare exception.

What is the job of a legislature other than squandering away all of our money?
Yes, let's have them all promise not to do it again.
Or better yet, let's have obozo pop up on their TV screen unannounced and talk trash about America, there will be lots of them watching Bowl games on New Years Day, that will straighten them out.

I have a question. How is it that one contractor gets all of our road work? They must have a great inside tract at the DOT and with the state government. I'm sure they were upset that they would only get 100's of millions of our tax dollars in highway work after the vote failed instead of billions. What kind of gifts or tickets or vacations are presented to the GADOT and state government from CWM. I see this company on 99% of these jobs. Is it realy possible that out of our entire country or state, there is one highway contractor capable of bidding these jobs succesfully,I don't think so. Big bussiness and big government smells very fishy in georgia. As long as I see one contractor getting most all the work,I will continue to vote no for more transportation money.

The premise that politicians will reform their own ethics is ridiculous.
The only thing that the citizens can do is to deny the authority and/or funds to the Golddome….every chance they get.
And they could also do this————–Bring back Ostracism.
The ancient Greeks have much to teach when it comes to shifty politicians, declining society, Mob/Kleptocracies, and Oligarchs————
"Each year the Athenians were asked in the assembly whether they wished to hold an ostracism. The question was put in the sixth of the ten months used for state business under the democracy (January or February in the modern Gregorian Calendar). If they voted "yes", then an ostracism would be held two months later. In a section of the agora set off and suitably barriered,[2] citizens scratched the name of a citizen they wished to expel on pottery sherds, and deposited them in urns. The presiding officials counted the ostraka submitted and sorted the names into separate piles. The person whose pile contained the most ostraka would be banished, provided that an additional criterion of a quorum was met, about which there are two principal sources:"
As a side note…..I would tweek the Ostracizing,
I would limit the candidates to only PAST and Present Lawmakers, and instead of banishment, …..I would suggest a Bankrupting fine…….paid to the State treasury.

Education is a recession-proof industry that will always be in high demand. The corporate money-changers know if they can get their hands on this industry, "reform" it to replace decently-paid teachers and faculty with McTeachers, and then get taxpayers to foot the bill, quarterly profits and lavish bonuses for CEOs can explode. Even in so-called "non-profit" charter schools, management can make big bucks.
And that's exactly what Georgia's Constitutional Amendment 1 accomplishes. Expect similar amendments to pop up in other state elections in the near future.

Kyle, add it up. 30 "public interest groups" supposedly sign onto "Ethics Reform" and they host a huge meeting and provide free transportation and less than 30 people attend, more than half from the news media. This is a media-driven issue. The AJC isn't able to control the agenda when someone else gets to influence elected officials so you want to limit that interaction. Plain and simple.
When you vote for a State Legislator, do you cast that vote thinking "this guy should represent me, but he's not trustworthy enough. He could be bought off with a hundred bucks."
Of course you don't. So why the level of intensity on a subject that nobody clamors for except folks with a media badge and folks that want to use taxpayer dollars to fund political campaigns?
I bet y'all buy an extra barrel of ink for 1Q 2013 just for these stories.

I find little to interest me in Georgia politics, but Kyle's article calls to mind related, but more general issues.
Let's start with the "surprising" finding that polls show that people believe that "people in the government waste a lot of money we pay in taxes." Is there anything new or surprising? Hardly. Are those people right? Of course they are. People in the government would have to be perfect not to waste some of the money that is mostly not their money (some of it is their money, they pay taxes like everybody else). And most people are not perfect, even though some on this blog apparently think they are.
But is that a unique feature of the government? Again, hardly. Don't many people waste money? But it is THEIR money, one would say. True, but it is still waste, even if we limited that to the money the same people would admit was wasted.
Should we not fight waste in the government? Of course we should fight it. But let's not act as if the polls showed something new and revealing.
But even that is not the only problem with such polls. How do those people accusing the government of wasting money know it? In most cases from anecdotal evidence, provided by people who do not like a particular project. I am sure there is plenty of actual waste, but let's not overstate the importance of the polls.
December 17th, 2012
10:56 am
We need to start profiling white people. Most mass executions like Friday are by white guys.
Who's brimming with hate?
The Virginia Tech massacre was a school shooting that took place on April 16, 2007, on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States. Seung-Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people and wounded 17 others
The Fort Hood shooting was a shooting that took place on November 5, 2009, at Fort Hood, the most populous U.S. military installation in the world, located just outside Killeen, Texas.[1] In the course of the shooting, a single gunman killed 13 people and wounded 29 others. The sole suspect is Nidal Malik Hasan
I think we got ourselves a verifiable racist here.
Hate anybody else, Finn?

Zambri are actually sisters, Cristi Jo and Jessica, who have been creating music together since they were children, always using the Zambri name. Their newest release, Glossolalia, was released late last year and is the first album they consider to be entirely their own, doing things how they want, just the two of them. Most of the sounds on the EP are homemade, many of which are built from vocals, which is perhaps what inspired the title (Glossolalia means speaking in tongues). Dreamy, a little dark, and always interesting, we're definitely going to follow what these ladies do next. Check out their wild new single "ICBYS" (pronounced Ick-Bees) and see what we're talking about.

Talk to me about implantation! Symptoms, feelings, how many dpo you were. I think I'm about 4dpo, and af isn't due until around the 8th.

I knew both times because I had implantation bleeding. Very light pink streaks in my CM. Both were about 5 dpo, I had late implanters though. That was the only noticeable thing for me. I didn't have any other symptoms.
My DD2 I tested everyday for a week after AF was due and had all negatives. Just chalked it up to my crazy body and skipping a month. Didn't realize until 2 days after my next one was due that I still hadn't had one and a 67 day cycle was unlikely so I tested again at work 3rd shift in the ER and got a blazing bfp. Called my doc the next morning, went in for an US and was 11 weeks!!
for you!!!
I had it 11 dpo. Very light pink.
I have always had it!! Very,very faint light pink on TP when i would wipe. Around 7 DPO. and I also have had cramping and pain around my low pelvic area....thought i was getting a UTI....

I didn't have it, but certainly started to feel "full" at about 10 DPO with my son. No indication whatsoever with my daughter, though we were on vacation so I wasn't really paying attention to CM because we were swimming every day so I was pretty much dry the whole time. !!!!
