NFL • The New York Jets released cornerback Antonio Cromartie on Sunday, a decision that saves the team millions of dollars under its salary cap. Cromartie was entering the final year of his four-year deal and was scheduled to cost the Jets' cap $14.98 million this season — including a $5 million roster bonus that would kick in later this month. There's a chance the Jets could bring back Cromartie at a lesser salary, unless the two-time Pro Bowl selection chooses to explore free agency.
The 29-year-old Cromartie is coming off perhaps his worst season as he struggled with a hip ailment for most of the year while continuing to play as the Jets' No. 1 cornerback.

{travel: swedish dreams}
Wednesday 5th August, 2009
by Felicity
Dreaming, dreaming of this lovely boutique hotel in Sweden that promises idyllic afternoons in the fresh country air, delectable dishes and a warmth and hospitality that time has forgotten . . .
{images: wreta gestgifveri via lantliv i stan + felicity – thank you!}
Felicity Contributor
Felicity remembers Miss Roséline's very first post a number of years ago. Her first introduction to the world of blogging was when she stumbled across a post on Bestey Johnson's apartment on This Is Glamorous. Ever since then, she has watched TIG blossom and grow into the much loved blog you now are now reading. Roséline's eye for glamorous elegant finds, makes her smile, especially when she places them in her multi-image colour themed posts. She has also very much enjoyed the addition of Laily's Favorite Five posts & Sarah's weekly travel finds. She encourages you to settle in with a box of Ladurée macarons & your favorite tea and wander through the treasure trove of images hidden in the archives of this lovely blog. You'll be so glad you did.

simply marvelous…
takes my breath away…wow…xo t
takes my breath away…wow…xo t
Omg! The pink headboard is darling. Seriously coveting a total redesign. Just have to convince the 'rents.
So pretty — can I join you? I would love to eat that delicious, fresh fruit, then set off for a long bike ride and just explore…
So elegant and beautiful. Gorgeous photography too!
im back..
hi… i thought i would come on here and ask a few creative bloggers that i love and follow for some help…. i also just posted about it on my blog.
im going to vegas this weekend with 4 other girls… one just turned 26 yesterday and the other turns 30 a few days after we get back…
so, the other 3 of us wanted to do something a little special for them while we're there…. probably just pay for dinner but we will all prob give them a little gift individually as well and thats where i need help.
we are all new friends so we're not super close… just in the stages of getting to know each other.
i dont want anything over the top or expensive. something just sweet, thoughtful and creative… and i was wondering with all the neat things you come across or just your creativity, if you have any little ideas as a sweet gift for a friends birthday. something small and different, no what i mean? one of my friends is going to give them a card with a starbucks gift card inside but i just wanted something a little more special.
would love to hear your thoughts! would realllly appreciate it!!!
thank you so much for taking the time to read this. xo.
I concur, absolutely marvellous!
LOVE that 3rd pic!
Oh, the bedroom in the first photo is stunning! Makes me want to become a rich old lady that lives permanently in a hotel…
Perfection – I love this swedish influence and style. Beautiful post.
This hotel looks simply idyllic. The dining room looks like the perfect place to relax at dinner time and have a conversation with lovely people. And bicycles for an afternoon ride around the area? Sounds heavenly!
A gorgeous selection of photos, something to tempt me to consider a trip to Sweden, someday.
So lovely! I am dying for that fresh cream, raspberries and scones it looks like… mmmm. I love that peachy blanket in the first pic too! I'm on the hunt for one for my bedroom this week hopefully…
simply stunning…
Nobody does a gracious life inside like the Swedes. IMO.
Excuse me, but why do Swedes make everything look better? Seriously. Fashion, boutique hotels, hair… What is their secret?! I need to book a room here so I can get to the bottom of this.
i love anything swedish..this is so cool
books and roses, a beautiful combo! love the bikes too
I just love all your pics!
All beautiful images and yes the Swedish people, do things beautifully.
Eeeeeeek! It's like you're reading my mind. This is my Swedish dream come true! I've been enjoying all of your travel posts and I think we may have been separated at birth. I wish I had known about Ca Maria Adele when I went to Venice. It's drop dead gorgeous. I also went to Gordon Ramsay (the restaurant) at the London in NY and thought it was one of the best meals I ever had in NY. It was when it first opened and the man himself was there!! It was a total thrill for me. Oh and I think you'll like my post tomorrow – it's one of your dream destinations!
I'm having heart palpitations.
Love them all:)
What a gorgeous place. Amazing photos!
What a beautiful location, I'd love to visit someday.
Wow – these are stunning!!
wow! this is fabulous, so pretty
lovely interiors. i love the details!!!!
oh wow! everything is so beautiful! I love the simplicity and the romantic feel.. just gorgeous! thanks for sharing and have a lovely weekend! xo
Oh wow, those tones are beautiful!
This is a very inspiring post!
This is SUCH a beautiful hotel. It looks so personal and homely. I love everything about it.
Oh, now I feel lucky to live in Sweden
but… surely this is heaven? I need to go there, right now!
I must have been Swedish in a past life…it's calling to me!
OMG I think I'm in love with this! I love Sweden! I studied abroad there 5 years ago and it was one of the best experiences of my life!
This place is beautiful. When I look at the photos the place look light and airy and I love how simple everything is. I'll have to go visit someday.
Trust me – it´s divine! The food was to die for and the staff was from heaven! Visit if you ever come to Sweden!

Saturday was beautiful. It was a cold, crisp autumnal morning, and I was in Devon. I awoke with the knowledge that I was going for a run, and I was going to push myself. I wanted to test myself. I wanted to see how far I could go.
I'm internally dissecting the idea of doing another marathon, this time in Barcelona, in March. I have paid up, and I have a place. But this time I feel I know what's ahead. My first marathon was all new ground. There was a lot to learn, and a lot to discover about how far I could push this little body. Now, I know what lies ahead. I know the early mornings, the winter training, the loneliness of the long runs, and the aches and pains of pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.
After the completing the Paris marathon, I was determined to keep my fitness up. Whilst my timings improved, the distance covered quickly dropped off. Then the doubts set in. The most common one, "Can I still run that far?"
Saturday was about uncovering my current fitness level. About discovering how far could I go.
And I did it. I ran 13.1 miles because I could. Not only did I finish with energy left, I also beat my pb. I completed my first sub 2 hour half-marathon, (but only just) coming it at a cheeky 01:59:58.
Me and running, we're back on!

Background on these murders5
September 13, 2012 by Author and Historian Blaine L. Pardoe
When it comes to Virginia serial killers: The Case of Drew Fitzwater, the Route 211 murderer stands out.
My original site was shut down so I'm moving to WordPress
I got involved with this because I live outside of Bealton and saw the coverage of this on the local news. If you believe the published reports, Andrew Fitzwater pleaded guilty to the murders of Heather Lorne, Judith Marie Moore, Francine Murphy, Janie Mair and Florence Colvin. Fitzwater was the classic loner who lived up on Pignut Mountain. The short version is that Drew died while in police custody before he went to sentencing – and by most accounts this was a good thing.
I filed a Freedom of Information Act request (FOIA) two years ago for the photographs and police files for the crime but they have been mysteriously 'lost' according to the Virginia State Police. I tried to get the files and photos from the Fauquier County Sheriff's Department but the line that they gave me was that since the State Police had jurisdiction in the case, they didn't have the files. To me this seems like a cover up.
Why would they conveniently lose the files? One was that these killings were brutal. The Times did an article when they arrested Fitzwater and they said that he sacrificed his victims in some sort of brutal ritual. I have a friend who works at the courthouse who told me that there was more to it than that. He apparently skinned his victims and turned them into scarecrows around his property. I think they 'lost' the photos to avoid just what a sick bastard this guy was. My 'friend' at the courthouse told me that she heard that the police actually found a crock full of human eyes, preserved in some mix of honey, tree sap and other stuff.
The other rumor I heard was that Drew didn't die of natural causes while in jail like we were all told. That must mean that the police took care of this SOB on their own. A few of us think that they took revenge on his ass. It's wrong, but you can't blame them if the stories are true about what this guy did to his victims.
I tried to track down someone at the hospital to get a copy of his autopsy files but those are protected by HIPAA. A friend told me that Drew had a sister but I had no luck in finding her in hopes she could get them for me. I guess she changed her name and moved far away after what her brother did.
I located one of the deputies tied to the case, Deputy Arthur Davison. He retired recently but refused to talk to me about it. That smells like cover-up to me. Why not talk to me otherwise?
Has anyone else heard about these murders?
Here's what I had from my old blog site:
From: Japril301.rr.com
13 May 2009
I remember this crime. That shack of a house that Drew lived in burned to the ground right after his arrest. Word was the police were there when it happened too. Coincidence?
From: email@example.com
22 February 2010
I did some digging into this too. You should check with the Prince William County police department. I heard from one of them that there was some ties to that fire that destroyed the Beverely Mill on I-66.
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
22 October 2011
I heard there's a bunch of locals that go up on Pignut every Halloween to check out the crime scene? Does anyone know how to connect with these guys?
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
19 January 2012
Don't give up hope!!! I called that cop Davidson when I started looking into this case. He told me that there is an author that is working on a book about the crime. Maybe he has some of the details that you're looking for. He wouldn't give out the guy's name though.
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
23 March 2012
The guy's name is Pardoe. I saw a post on his blog. He's a historian and science fiction writer. Seems like a strange fit. He's got a true crime about some bombing in Michigan that's out next month. Maybe this is his new bag.
5 thoughts on "Background on these murders"
In looking into this crime I went to the library to pull up some of the newspaper articles. That roll of microfilm was out! The librarian told me that someone must have checked it out on interlibrary loan. I don't believe that for a minute. How weird is that the only microfilm not on file is the month relating to the investigation and death of Andrew Fitzwater?
The part that tore up our community about this was we never got closure. We never learned why Drew did what he did – or even the details of what happened. His death cheated us all – especially the victims' families. I remember the pictures in the newspaper of Mrs. Mair crying coming out of the courthourse in Warrenton. We deserved more – we deserved justice.
I just finished Virginia Creeper. The thought that his is real is, well, creepy. Somebody needs to do some more digging.

550 W. Main St. 340 Knoxville, TN 37902
Knoxville DUI Defense Lawyer
The majority of people consider a breathalyzer reading to be irrefutable evidence when it comes to proving whether or not you were driving while your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) was elevated past the legal limit. Nevertheless, as with all equipment, there is still a margin of error and many parameters that can adversely affect the readings of a breathalyzer test.
Causes of Incorrect BAC Readings
An incorrectly calibrated breathalyzer can easily cause the ratio at which the machine calculates the amount of alcohol in an individuals blood to fluctuate as much as 1000 points, causing extremely inaccurate results. Common malfunctions such as low batteries or even magnetic interference with onboard storage media can also compromise result reports from a breathalyzer unit.
The state of your mouth at the time of your BAC testing also has a enormous effect on the readings. Residual alcohol trapped in your mouth within your saliva, food caught in your teeth, or even residue on your tongue can all increase your BAC readings. Breathalyzers also detect the methyl part of a molecule present in alcohol - and many other substances. The device may be detecting other chemical compounds that contain methyl besides liquor. For example, use of an alcohol-inclusive mouthwash has been shown to increase BAC readings.
Another major downside in the breathalyzer unit is that the breathalyzer presumes the temperature of your mouth is about 93 degrees Fahrenheit. Some research have shown that people arrested for Driving under the influence had actual mouth temperatures between 93 and 98 degrees, an additional variable that can adversely influence the BAC reading. A breathalyzer can only calculate the content of alcohol in your blood, and this estimation is based on the amount in your lungs and breath. As a result, if you have belched, hiccuped, or vomited within 20 minutes of testing, this may also increase the BAC readings and lead to a Virginia DUI arrest when you were driving while below the legal limit.
Your body composition is also an important factor in how your BAC readings are reported. Two people with a 100-pound weight difference can consume the same amount of alcohol in the same period of time, but the lighter person can be affected up to twice as much as the heavier person. Your metabolism also impacts alcohol absorption. Breathalyzers test the level of alcohol as it has been absorbed into the bloodstream, but depending on how fast your metabolism works, it may not have completely absorbed at the time of testing.
Unreliable results can change the outcome of a DUI case.
If your DUI defense attorney can convince a jury that your BAC test was flawed, they're less likely to consider a guilty verdict. With all the variables that can affect breathalyzer readings, there's a good chance that any of the issues listed above affected your breathalyzer readings. A good Virginia DUI defense lawyer knows what to look for and knows how to question this kind of evidence in court.
With all of these ways the BAC test can be inaccurate or altered, a breathalyzer BAC reading is not always considered to be an accurate indicator of DUI.

" God blessed me with a happy spirit and many other gifts. What I was not blessed with I went out and got. Sometimes the price was too high, but I've never been much of a bargain hunter."
Are you going to succeed because you return emails a few minutes faster, tweet a bit more often and stay at work an hour longer than anyone else?
I think that's unlikely. When you push to turn intellectual work into factory work (which means more showing up and more following instructions) you're racing to the bottom.
It seems to me that you will succeed because you confronted and overcame anxiety and the lizard brain better than anyone else. Perhaps because you overcame inertia and actually got significantly better at your craft, even when it was uncomfortable because you were risking failure. When you increase your discernment, maximize your awareness of the available options and then go ahead and ship work that scares others… that's when you succeed.
More time on the problem isn't the way. More guts is. When you expose yourself to the opportunities that scare you, you create something scarce, something others won't do.
Paul Rand on "Options".
Steve Jobs was interviewed about working with Paul Rand, and said:
"I asked him if he would come up with a few options, and he said, 'No, I will solve your problem for you and you will pay me. You don't have to use the solution. If you want options go talk to other people.'"
(via LogoDesignLove)
" No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
— Steve Jobs
(via specboogie)
Run your own race
The rear view mirror is one of the most effective motivational tools ever created. There's no doubt that many people speed up in the face of competition. We ask, "how'd the rest of the class do?" We listen for someone breathing down our necks. And we discover that competition sometimes brings out our best. There's a downside, though. Years ago, during my last long-distance swim (across Long Island Sound… cold water, jellyfish, the whole nine yards), the competitiveness was pretty thick. On the boat to the starting line, there were hundreds of swimmers, stretching, bragging, prancing and working themselves up. By the time we hit the water, everyone was swimming someone else's race. The start was an explosion of ego and adrenaline. Twenty minutes later, half the field was exhausted, with three hours left to go. If you're going to count on the competition to bring out your best work, you've surrendered control over your most important asset. Real achievement comes from racing ahead when no one else sees a path—and holding back when the rush isn't going where you want to go. If you're dependent on competition then you're counting on the quality of those that show up to determine how well you'll do. Worse, you've signed up for a career of faux death matches as the only way to do your best work. Self motivation is and always will be the most important form of motivation. Driving with your eyes on the rear view mirror is exhausting. It's easier than ever to measure your performance against others, but if it's not helping you with your mission, stop.
" Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they've had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people."

The Short and Long versions
Proportions play such a huge role in the way an animal lives and co-exists with its surrounding environment, diet, movement, purpose, functions etc. Here are two straight pen sketches - one is a short, bulky critter inspired by bulldogs and bullfrogs while the other is a very lengthy creature with some fish and mammal traits - in part it was inspired by Lord of the Rings Gollum; if he were to be more of an evolved creature and not a malformed hobbit twisted by evil.

A world of campaign slogans come to mind, but few of them are printable. From the Associated Press:
A proposal to ban the circumcision of male children in San Francisco has been cleared to appear on the November ballot, setting the stage for the nation's first public vote on what has long been considered a private family matter.
But even in a city with a long-held reputation for pushing boundaries, the measure is drawing heavy fire.
Opponents are lining up against it, saying a ban on a religious rite considered sacred by Jews and Muslims is a blatant violation of constitutional rights.
If the measure passes, circumcision would be prohibited among males under the age of 18. The practice would become a misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 or up to one year in jail. There would be no religious exemptions.
The proposed ban appears to be the first in the country to make it this far, though a larger national debate over the health benefits of circumcision has been going on for many years. Banning circumcision would almost certainly prompt a flurry of legal challenges alleging violations of the First Amendment's guarantee of the freedom to exercise one's religious beliefs.
A suddenly vacant state Senate seat is stirring up middle Georgia. From the Macon Telegraph:
Miriam Paris, the president of Macon City Council, will be challenging state Rep. David Lucas, D-Macon, in the Democratic race for the District 26 state Senate seat being vacated by Robert Brown.
Brown, the Senate minority leader from Macon, has said he's running for Macon mayor.
Over at the New York Times' fivethirtyeight, Nate Silver makes a case for bringing Texas Gov. Rick Perry into the GOP presidential race:
If a candidate dominates the South — and it's much easier for a Southern candidate to do that — he'll have made a lot of headway into winning the votes and delegates that he'll need to secure his party's nomination. Certainly there have been regional and factional candidates — think George Wallace, for example — who did well in the South but poorly elsewhere.
But a candidate like Mr. Perry, who would have advantages like fundraising and establishment support that would extend to all corners of the country, might be more like Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, doing very well in the South and still well enough outside of it to win his party's nomination.
For a Republican candidate, in fact, this advantage may be especially powerful because of a demographic quirk related to Iowa, the first and most important state in the nominating process. Some 60 percent of Iowa Republican voters are born-again Christians — about the same fraction as in many Southern states. That's why Southern Republicans have done so well in the state.
As for Newt Gingrich, Silver declares him more teriyaki than Southern-fried. And he's not sure of Herman Cain's viability.
English teachers, take note: Yes, the school year is nearly done, but Rick Tyler, spokesman for GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, on Wednesday may have done more to illustrate the mixed metaphor than anyone since Yogi Berra. From his tirade blaming the media for Gingrich's poor start:
"The firefight started when the cowardly sensed weakness.They fired timidly at first, then the sheep not wanting to be dropped from the establishment's cocktail party invite list unloaded their entire clip, firing without taking aim their distortions and falsehoods. Now they are left exposed by their bylines and handles."
More seriously, here's some Georgia reaction of Newt Gingrich's rough start, from the Associated Press – and starting again with epic language from his spokesman:
"A lesser person could not have survived the first few minutes of the onslaught," longtime spokesman Rick Tyler said on Wednesday. "But out of the billowing smoke and dust of tweets and trivia emerged Gingrich, once again ready to lead those who won't be intimidated and are ready to take on the challenges America faces."
Scott Rials, a longtime Gingrich aide and a consultant on his presidential bid, said there actually is a sense of relief in the Republican's camp.
"Listen, we knew this was coming," he said of the criticism. "It's like ripping the Band-Aid off. And then you move on."
……But for some, Gingrich's remarks on health care and the Ryan plan crossed a line.
"They were very detailed, thoughtful comments," said Julianne Thompson, head of Georgia Tea Party Patriots who thinks Gingrich's campaign could be on life support. "He seemed to be saying what he believed."
Mark DeMoss, the Buckhead publicist with close connections to the Billy Graham circle, has been named a senior advisor to the GOP presidential campaign of Mitt Romney. From the Boston Globe:
The campaign press release did not mention any religious component to DeMoss's role, although in 2008 he was on the Romney campaign's Faith and Values Steering Committee and spoke out prominently about why evangelical Christians should not discount Romney because of his Mormon faith.
DeMoss said in an interview later that he would play a similar role this time.
"I'll reach out to evangelicals I'm sure, because I know that audience pretty well," he said. "I'll help organize meetings, to get people of influence in front of the governor or get him in front of them."
And finally, from The Fix at the Washington Post:
In a sign that the White House has no interest in letting go of the birther thing, President Obama's 2012 campaign is offering donors t-shirts and mugs emblazoned with his long-form birth certificate. "If the facts can't make these ridiculous smears go away, we can at least have a little fun with it," says deputy campaign manager Julianna Smoot.

The only pertinent question about Rick Perry should be "would he be a good president?" Instead, candidates are selected by an arcane process dominated by special interest groups.

Given SF's demographics' reflection of Rome's Babylonian priesthood's "success" twisting nature in vulnerable altar boys, et al – and the fact that is the dominant political religious force in that historically Sodomite town – the anti-circumcision "movement" must simply be the false-religionists' target-of-choice "aesthetic."

The law is not a ban on circumcision, in fact, it gaurantees every male the right to make up their own mind on whether or not they want to be circumcised, to have that right the decision needs to be made when they are able to make their own choice. The bill only protects children from forced circumcisions which are done by force on a child who cannot give consent. This bill protects a childs rights to genital integrity adn to religious freedom. Every person has a right to decide what religion they want to be, religious freedom is not our right to force our religion on others, but a right for us to execute for ourselves. Forced circumcision of children, since it is permenant, takes away that childs right to religious freedom and to make his own choice as to whether or not he wants to commit to a life long religiously motivated incursion on their body, Forced circumcision violates the boys rights to make these choices for himself when he is able to do so, and forces a religion on him for the rest of his life. This law protects and upholds males constitutional rights to religious freedom. This law is not only constitutional, it upholds the constitution. Forced circumcision of boys is an unconstitutional violation and seizure of a males religious freedom. Clearly, female cirucmcision has been prohibited even though many girls were circumcised for religious reasons. If equal protection of the law is a concept we value, if girls are protected from forced religious circumcision, then so must boys. If it is argued that boys cannot be protected from forced religious circumcision, then neither can girls be protected from it. It is time we give boys equal protection as girls now enjoy from genital cutting. It is currently illegal to so much as piece a girls genitals, if boys have equal rights, then it is certainly illegal to remove 50% of a boys penis skin. Circumcision does reduce males sexual sensitivity by removing half of his erogenous zones.

Brian – What you are advocating is freedom for individuals and such a thing does not go over real well in Georgia. Just look at how long it took for these clowns to legalize the right for cities to allow citizens the right to possibly restore the right to buy a legal substance on sundays. At first I looked upon this ban as interfering with freedom of religion, but in truth you are right in that everyone should have the right to choose their own religion, should have the right to own their own body, and that such a significant imposition by the parents is unalterable and forced upon boys without their consent. The father of a friend of mine from college chose in his late 50's to undergo a circumcision. Although my choice was taken away from me by my parents, as a freedom lover I can only applaud the fact that he was able to exercise a choice in the matter though I can't see the point at his age of making such a choice.

G-d said to circumcise their sons, to be fruitful and multiply, and rewarded Abram with a new new for defeating the kings of Sodom and Gommorah. The Sodomites have sprung back up most visibly in the past WH administration (James Guckert/Jeff Gannon) and are pushing their agenda forward in SF. All those on Sodom and Gommorah's "team" oppose circumcision, and who could blame them as they are enemies of G-d, the King of America "Who reigneth in Heaven above."

So current Governor Deal and former Governor Sonny Perdue were early backers of Gingrich and have publicly endorsed him, attended fundraisers for him etc. I don't hear them jumping to his defense now, do you?

In Germany, depending on what type of hospital you were born in decided whether you were or were not circumcised. My older brother was born in a Catholic hospital was circumcised while my younger brother born in a Protestant hospital was not. He became circumcised at the age of 18 after continual bacterial infections due to the foreskin and he said it was the most painful experience of his life. He's thankful he did it, but wished it would have been done at birth!!
May 19th, 2011
2:24 pm
Ali, then by your logic since my aunt required a mastectomy when she was older, we should advocate that all females have their breasts removed soon after birth?
The incidents that would medically require a male circumcision are exceedingly rare and cannot be used as justification for the wholesale mutilation of an entire population.

Ali brings up a good point. Many doctors feel like it is in the interest of better health. My son was born in 1986 and my doctor encouraged me to have him circumcised. I have since wondered if it was the correct thing to do because people seem to advocate against it now. Thank you Ali for helping me to feel I made the right choice for my child.

If it's all about consent, then what's next? Maybe we should wait until kids are 18 to get consent on an education, a haircut, a bath, or maybe potty training. Isn't anyone tired of the government trying to control every aspect of our life. Just around the corner is the food police, and now the penis police. I know. Let's split the workforce 45/45 private sector and government sector. This way, we can have one government worker overseeing every aspect of the private worker's life. The other 10%? Well, that would be slick lawyers suing each other over an abundance of riduclous regulations. Only in San Francisco can these nut-case lawmakers get paid for wasting the taxpayers time and money on nonsense.

"Maybe this is the way to finally come up with someone competent and likable to run in 2016″ J Lester wrote.
It is painful. When the party looks across its platform and eliminates the conflicting planks. i.e., (GA only) local control and state approved charter schools; less government and an explosion of criminal statutes; less government and new cities every year. (national) less government and social engineering; less taxes and a thousand new fees.
Stick with the essential republican ideals – fiscal restraint and social integrity and dump the single issue loadstones – abortion, gay marriage (except as it would affect the cost of employer benefits) and other issues that should be resolved by people without government involvement or laws on the subjects.

Circumscision, whether upon the male or the female body, is human mutilitation. There is no other description of this archaic practice.
It involves removing a part of the human body that has been included in the "list of parts" for millions of years. It is there for a reason. Leave it alone.
May 20th, 2011
1:29 am
Beyond its being a divine dictate passed down by a culture so beset by identifiable Earthly Evil that it probably is G-d's "Chosen," the circumcised adult male human is able to enjoy the complete, insuperable miracle G-d intended to be experienced through the sex act/organ, driven on margin thereby to "be fruitful and multiply" and to know something phenomenal is transpiring "en route" to the miracle of child birth; otoh, female circumcision, by murderous, perverse, misogynistic cultures which practice it, is intended to destroy the ability of the female to experience the equally transcendent miracle herself.

Comparing female and male circumcision shows me Brian really does not know what he is talking about. Read up on what is 'circumcised' in a female circumcision. And saying a child has a right to determine his own faith regarding a circumcision continues my thought on his ignorance. A circumcision does not declare a child's religion. I know many Christians, atheists, agnostics, etc. who have been circumcised at birth.
This is just one more move to break children away from their parents. Brian's own logic of children having rights to determine their own fates, etc. is another one of those Marxian applications of parents as just means to birth good citizens of the state. Their use ends after conception, labor, and delivery.

BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Highway Patrol is investigating after a man was struck and killed on the Interstate 70 in the Kansas City suburb of Blue Springs.
The patrol says the man was hit in the westbound lanes of the highway about 6 a.m. Tuesday. He apparently was trying to cross the highway when he was hit by several vehicles.
Investigators said the man was possibly on his way home from work when he was hit. His name has not been released.
WDAF-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1pL4OHk ) one of the drivers who hit the man said he was unable to avoid the impact. Charles Williams stayed on the scene and spoke with police. He says he is extremely distressed to be one of the drivers who hit the man's body.

Now through April 11, NOOK is the only Android device where you can download Tribal Nova Partners' award-winning "i Learn With" App series. Four new early childhood learning apps—targeted at ages 3 through 6—offer a curriculum-oriented, game-based school readiness program for children in preschool through kindergarten. Since the apps are based on National Education Standards and developed with the help of teachers and experts in early childhood development, I'm confident that my kids are getting a valuable and effective learning experience while still having fun. With the helpful progress tracker for parents, I can even check in on their improvement without having to look over their shoulder while they're playing.
It's no surprise that Ocean Adventures! is currently the favorite in my house. My kids love anything aquatic, so they really enjoy identifying all of the undersea creatures while building their vocabulary and putting sentences together along the way. I especially like that the level of difficulty is self-adjusting so that it's challenging for a range of ages and learning levels. Plus, like with all of the 'i Learn With' apps, my kids are motivated to keep improving thanks to the rewards they earn along the way.
Download these 'i Learn With' apps to start your kids on an educational adventure that they'll love!
Educational games for preschoolers and kindergarteners focusing on building grammar and vocabulary skills.
Practice numbers, counting & addition with these fun math educational games.
A diverse selection of literacy games that encourage alphabet, spelling & phonics skills.
A FREE creativity game with activities for preschoolers and kindergarteners—a great introduction to the series.

I just returned my Nook HD+ to Target........The Nook does not sync with Gmail. I spent a total of 5 hours on the phone with Nook support. Then waited 5 days for Nook support to solve the problem ( my contact list would not sync with the Nook). It took some pointed questioning but Barnes and Noble is aware of the problem. There are many comments on the internet about the problem. Either Barnes and Noble cannot fix it or they have no interest in fixing it.
I really liked the Nook HD+. But without the use of email it is useless as a tablet. I already own a Nook Color reader. Really weird that my reader syncs with Gmail just fine .

RVRB - Lost in the Wild (Live) (by Cameron Mitchell)
Saw Nellie and Michael at Northern Pacific Coffee Co. in Tacoma.
This was my second time seeing her, first seeing Far and Away.
It was a really amazing show. Seeing them together was really great. They have amazing chemistry and play to their strengths while complimenting each other really well. I just really enjoyed seeing them play together and seeing/hearing what a great team they make. I'm so excited for their mix tape and really loved what I heard from it tonight, live. I just really love and support Nellie, and Far and Away.
Here's a clip of 'Butterbrains', which will be on the mix tape, they said. :) One of my favorites.
"You're the kind of person I want to be with when I want to be alone.
You're the only person I want to be seen by when I don't want to be shown.
I've got a head full of butter, and a body full of brains.."
There was not nearly enough Far and Away in this song. I wish there was a full Far and Away version. *hint hint*

TDHCA awards $42.5 million in Housing Tax Credits to build 5,800 units of affordable housing
Realizing that many young families and older individuals are struggling to keep pace with rising rent levels, TDHCA has announced that it will help finance the development of 59 affordable rental properties throughout the state that will bring much-needed stability to the lives of tenants and monetary benefits to local economies.
The Department will provide $42.5 million in financing through the 2008 Housing Tax Credit Program allocation cycle, helping create an estimated 5,800 units of affordable rental housing designed to serve Texans earning no more than 60 percent of the area median family income.
These developments will meet a growing demand throughout Texas for this type of housing. The Department estimates that approximately 1.3 million households across the state are in need of affordable housing. In addition, several local economies are also expected to benefit from the economic stimulus of this award.
A recent study by the National Association of Home Builders shows that the one-year impact of a typical 100-unit property financed through tax credits includes 151 local jobs, $783,000 in taxes and other revenue for local governments, and $7.3 million in additional income for the local economy.

President Barack Obama said Monday that students should take fewer standardized tests and school performance should be measured in other ways than just exam results. Too much testing makes education boring for kids, he said.
"Too often what we have been doing is using these tests to punish students or to, in some cases, punish schools," the president told students and parents at a town hall hosted by the Univision Spanish-language television network at Bell Multicultural High School in Washington, D.C.
Obama, who is pushing a rewrite of the nation's education law that would ease some of its rigid measurement tools, said policymakers should find a test that "everybody agrees makes sense" and administer it in less pressure-packed atmospheres, potentially every few years instead of annually.
At the same time, Obama said, schools should be judged on criteria other than student test performance, including attendance rate.
"One thing I never want to see happen is schools that are just teaching the test because then you're not learning about the world, you're not learning about different cultures, you're not learning about science, you're not learning about math," the president said. "All you're learning about is how to fill out a little bubble on an exam and little tricks that you need to do in order to take a test and that's not going to make education interesting."
"And young people do well in stuff that they're interested in," Obama said. "They're not going to do as well if it's boring."
The president endorsed the occasional administering of standardized tests to determine a "baseline" of student ability. He said his daughters Sasha, 9, and Malia, 12, recently took a standardized test that didn't require advance preparation. Instead, he said, it was just used as a tool to diagnose their strengths and weaknesses. The girls attend the private Sidwell Friends School in Washington.
Obama, who has been pushing his education agenda all month, has expressed concern that too many schools will be unable to meet annual proficiency standards under the No Child Left Behind law this year. The standards are aimed at getting 100 percent of students proficient in math, reading and science by 2014, a goal now widely seen as unrealistic.
The Obama administration has proposed replacing those standards with a less prescriptive requirement that by 2020 all students graduating from high school should be ready for college or a career.
Obama wants Congress to send him a rewrite of the 2001 law before the start of a new school year this fall. Although his education secretary, Arne Duncan, has been working hard with lawmakers of both parties, the deadline may be unrealistic with Congress focused on the budget and the economy. Congressional Republicans also look unwilling to sign off on Obama's plans to increase spending on education.
Latino students make up one in five of all students in prekindergarten through high school in the U.S. but lag far behind whites in educational attainment, with less than one in three graduating from high school, according to federal Education Department figures. Obama emphasized to his largely Hispanic audience the importance of staying in school and he noted that more and more jobs will require advanced degrees.
Obama also made a plug Monday for the use of technology in classrooms, revealing that he himself has an iPad.
He turned back a plea from one questioner to grant a special protected status to students who are in the country illegally in order to prevent them from getting deported. Obama said it wouldn't be appropriate because that status has traditionally been reserved for immigrants fleeing persecution or disaster.
The president did pledge to keep working to pass the Dream Act, which would give illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children a chance to gain legal status if they enroll in college or the military. The legislation passed the House but failed in the Senate in December; it now faces even longer odds in Congress with the House controlled by Republicans.

Wait till you get your final grade Mr President before pissing on the over taxed underfunded mess that you promised to prosecute the perpetrators of, but covertly let slip..We need an immigration wave of sanity.
Right now you look and sound more like an old fat shark in a skinny suit than a multi cultural Guru, Sir.
You talk too much methinks, of berry patches yon, whilst parched the source of your wind dries on the rhetoric vine back home.
The lamest justice dept. in history thrives as toxic bacteria neath your nails Sir. 10 trillion is still out there somewhere. Hack.
Most would have found the sink, with soap of law by now. Mr. President.
Especially so, a Doctorate, Nobel.
What highly apparent in your face action could top your charade ?
Flux in flux out Sir, become you once you surface slag…
Don't you mean slug ?
Please keep comments at least somewhat relevant to the topic at hand, there are other forums more suited for bile-spewing. The President isn't going to see your opinion here.
While the President is proving to be a person far removed from the Campaigner, I have to agree with him on this. A lot of kids know that most of the tests will have no real impact on them and don't care how they score anyway. Yes, some testing will still be needed, just not so much.
One man's relevance is another's bile?
Here's a so-called professor-turned-pres who wants to dilute the measurement of student achievement so that, when he gets all the pardoned illegals fully integrated, their lack of achievement won't reflect so poorly on all those union teachers he's counting on to put him back in office.
Seems you're on board with that.
The real test students inevitably are faced with is discerning between silver tongued leadership and Representatives of our system who do not compromise principle for personal and political gain.
That said, all the flowery talk and IMO false concern for our youth is designed to hide the affluent sectors bent to keep the masses undereducated and easily duped at the voting booth.
Behind all this latest immigrant fairness bull is the Presidents need to lock up the Hispanic vote. Period..
He has shown by the way he conducts and instructs his Justice department a willingness to ignore the core rot emanating from the totality of our government.
Should any student want to emulate this form of leadership, or stand and take pride in such a bleak future as this President and his predecessors have mapped for them ?
How can one label the already defeated through no fault of their own, quitter ? Here kitty, kitty..
In Massachusetts MCAS testing provides a detailed show of how various sub groups perform and certainly gives a performance of each school and district. The testing has been refined over the years and Massachusetts now ranks #1 in student performance. MCAS results have become a significant issue in elections as school/district performance become a hot topic for discussion.
Passing the MCAS with a significant grade can entitle a student to reduced or free tuition at a state college. Passing the test also means a difference in a diploma or having a certificate of attendance. Through the years students have come to take this test as a serious matter so there has been an attitude evolution. No more blowing away the test.
You can also teach to the test as the test is a reflection of the state frameworks and those very frameworks are the basis for course curriculum at all levels. I have my objections to the fact that the test has forced a certain level of regimentation that can be good or bad based on your own personal philosophy. The test has also forced a reduction in certain other areas such as art, music and technology as the prime focus becomes passing MCAS ELA, math and science. The history portion of the test has never been implemented.
When are we going to ban politicians from education? They aren't teachers. It was politicians that shoved those standardized tests down our throats. Now another politician is coming up with another plan. Just turn it over to the local level and leave them alone! "No Child Left Behind" has "improved" us from No. 1 in the world all the way down to "37."
Reining in poets is like herding cats…

2007 Agrapart & Fils Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Mineral
"As usual for this bottling, originating with two neighboring 40-year-old parcels in Avize near the communal line with Cramant, and vinified roughly half-each in tank and cask, Agrapart's 2007 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Mineral is only coming onto the market this fall in France, and the bottle I tasted in June – with a written-over 2006 label – had been disgorged in January of this year solely for purposes of press tastings. Pleasantly piquant aromatic suggestions of sourdough yeasts, toasted buckwheat and lemon rind have their persistently stimulating counterpart on a strikingly delicate and nuanced palate, with stone, chalk, salt and smoke accenting fresh apple and winter pear. With time, a more caressing textural side emerged. The sense of salivary gland stimulation in the lingering finish is extremely active, and combined with tactile impingements of chalk, radish, lemon rind and active yeasts (figuratively speaking, of course). This is certainly less obviously multi-faceted and energetic than the corresponding "Terroirs" bottling, but utterly intriguing, impressively refined, and likely to merit at least a half dozen years of attention."

NRA's Hunter Services Department has posted a new recipe of the month from the NRA Members' Wild Game Cookbook.
This month's feature is Game Stroganoff, submitted by Ann Rawlings of Knoxville, Tennessee. With this recipe, the classic dish of Beef Stroganoff is transformed by using the game protein of your choice such as venison, antelope, or elk. Although it calls for the stroganoff to be served over rice, it's easy to substitute the traditional egg noodles or your family's favorite pasta.
To order your copy of the NRA Members' Wild Game Cookbook, visit NRA's Program Materials Center to order online, or call 1-800-366-7402. With over 390 pages of delicious recipes, it makes a great addition to any hunter's kitchen.

Old Tech Firms Struggle to Stay Relevant
Marie is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Imagine seeing two people start to fight. One is young, lightweight, and nimble. The other is older, with a couple extra pounds, but with fighting experience. This fight resembles the struggle that big, older tech firms face against their newer competitors. To understand who will come out on top, we must take a closer look at what each contender brings to the table. With this in mind, let's look to the mobile vs. PC example.
New contender: mobile device makers
Hip smartphones and tablets now offer computing power that rivals PCs. Furthermore, these small, portable devices are more convenient to use than PCs. Such factors lead consumers swiftly toward newer mobile devices, and away from PCs.
Just look to Samsung (NASDAQOTH: SSNLF) to get an idea of what PCs are up against. The market leader in mobile phone shipments with 29% of the market, Samsung shipped 63 million units in the fourth quarter last year and 64.7 million in the first quarter of 2013.
Keep in mind that this includes only mobile – it does not take into account tablet sales. In contrast, total worldwide PC shipments came to only 90.3 million units in the fourth quarter and 79.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 according to Gartner Research. As the PC market faced a 4.9% decline in fourth quarter shipments from 2011 to 2012, mobile saw a 27.2% increase.
Why the change? Consumers get much of the same functionality from a mobile device that they need from a PC: email, web browsing, social media, and games. So when the time comes to buy another unit, people tend to buy the couple-hundred-dollar phone, as opposed to a new PC that runs into the high hundreds or low thousands.
Old Fighter: PC makers
PC makers devised a new plan of attack to combat this challenge. With lower prices and reduced power consumption, they crafted technology to compete with mobile's finest.
For example, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) released information on its newest core CPU: the 4th Gen Intel Core 7. It processes more efficiently than previous Intel chips, while using less power. Computers made with these chips will help keep both the PC manufacturers and part makers (like Intel) afloat. One type of computer made with these chips is a laptop whose screen functions also as a tablet.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) essentially designed its Windows 8 for touchscreen computing. Additionally, Microsoft offers PC manufacturers drastic discounts on software to help lower the price of PCs for consumers. Manufacturers only pay $30 for Windows 8 and Microsoft Office, a 75% discount from the original price manufacturers paid.
With manufacturers paying less for software, laptops can be sold for lower prices. Microsoft hopes to see the price of touchscreen laptops drop from the current $700-plus to about $300 according to the Wall Street Journal.
Despite valiant efforts and great advances, PCs will continue to die their slow death. Even though PC makers made technological advances, they are not well-received. Consumers think of Windows 8 as buggy and hard to use, according to various articles on ZDNet. The operating system's sales are worse than even Windows Vista's sales in 2007. Additionally, PC shipments dropped for the fifth quarter in a row. Global second-quarter shipments decreased by 10.2%. Market share continues to slip through PC makers' fingers, even as they release more efficient and lower-priced computers.
As we watch this fight play out, we see that experience and age are not the most important attributes. Instead, the young, spry competitor continues to dominate the market and steal market share. Though the older tech firms will not leave the ring overnight, we will continue to see them losing this fight with younger tech firms.

The show includes pieces ranging from color photography to interactive installations. The three featured local artists, Patrick Kelley, Dave Ryan and Andrea Shaker, are from Northfield, Mankato and Minneapolis respectively. They each take a variety of thematic approaches to their mediums.
Digital media, while relevant to our increasingly digital culture, often remains ambiguous to the technologically saturated public.
The iPod, e-mail and the digital camera are everyday tools. Yet, the ways these new technologies shape our understanding and vision of the world are often overlooked.
Kelley and Ryan used interaction in their pieces as a conduit for comprehension, inviting the viewer to become part of the piece, as in Ryans Escape Velocity.
The viewer turns a crank wheel and witnesses a corresponding map projected onto the wall. The piece plays with the idea of a 3-D illusion and the link between the actual physical object, producing the illusion, which in this case becomes an illusion itself.
Kelleys work addresses the theoretical basis of technology. Kelleys untitled photography series captures natural objects ordered in precise patterns and simple geometric shapes.
Even if the conceptual aspects of the photographs are often difficult to grasp, the visual effect of the pieces is satisfying, and that is perhaps more important than understanding their meaning.
As Kelley said in his artists statement, researched ambiguity may be part of the experience: Incoherence in an image can be a vehicle for understanding in which the language dependent on reason must blindly follow rather than lead.
Shaker takes a different approach from her peers, with more personal and approachable pieces. They are less concerned with what goes into making the actual pieces
Her Waiting series is composed of unsettlingly calm photographs of a houses interior. The simple compositions and strange awkwardness add to a general feeling of isolation in these scenes. This feeling, coupled with the large scale of the pieces, makes them extremely emotionally powerful.
Her pieces contrast nicely with the more technically focused approach of Ryan and Kelleys work. Although thematically she seems slightly out of step with the other two artists, her work is equally impressive. In the dissonance, the digital art and photography add to each other.
The show makes a concerted effect to draw viewers into the digital media and processes. However, it is thematically vague as a whole, despite each of the artists concerted attempts to define their works.
Even if the show does remain slightly ambiguous, it is worth seeing for the visual effect. The pleasure of digital art may still be lost on some people, but Still moving still makes a valiant attempt to draw them into the fold.

Week two! We're doing this! Thanks again to everyone who came on back after listening to last week's episode. The feedback has been energizing and I can't wait to get all the other ones I have saved up out to you all!
This week, we talk to rising star samhumphries. Sam has been a dear friend for a very long time. I first met him when I was an intern at Marvel and he had just launched MySpace Comics (which we talk about). But over the years, and watching him grow from indie superstar to writing at Marvel - it's been nothing short of inspiring.
We get into the nitty gritty this week on the rocky road Sam had to getting into comics - but you can clearly see his passion for the craft and what drives him to keep on going.
I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I had recording it.
