FORT WORTH — Top county officials are trying to determine whether a contractor was paid for work he didnt do as part of a project to eliminate a dangerous intersection on the far southeast edge of Fort Worth.Contractor Randle D. Howard was paid more than $36,000 last spring to build a driveway and drainage culverts near a mobile home dealership at Rendon Bloodworth Road and Farm Road 1187. But more than $14,000 of the work was done by two other companies, which were also paid, according to documents obtained by the Star-Telegram under the Texas Public Information Act. In addition, Howard was paid $6,000 more for pouring a concrete slab on private property, an apparent violation of county rules.We put this concrete pad on private property. Were not allowed to build on private property, said County Administrator G.K. Maenius, who is looking into the situation along with County Auditor Renee Tidwell. I dont think there was any ill intention, but we should not have done it.We are going to go back to Howard, and we need to have better justification of what was included in that $14,000, to see if we got our moneys worth, Maenius said. We are working on this. Its not good; its not good at all.Last week, Howard took the unusual step of addressing the Tarrant County Commissioners Court to deny any wrongdoing. He declined to comment further to the Star-Telegram.The Star-Telegram filed a request for the documents after a veteran Tarrant County road crew worker said he overheard an exchange between Howard and the county employee overseeing the project.The conversation, the worker said, occurred at the job site in May 2012. Howard said he was unable to complete the agreed-on work, the crew member said.The job was bigger, Howard said, than what he had expected when he bid nearly $37,000 to win the contract, according to the worker.T.C. Webster, director of field operations in Tarrant Countys Precinct 1, promised to fix the problem, the crew member said.Webster declined to comment for this report. Maenius said Precinct 1 Commissioner Roy Brooks, who supervises Webster, asked him to conduct an independent review of the project.The Star-Telegram agreed not to identify the tipster because he fears retaliation for speaking out. But armed with his account, the newspaper began its own investigation of the use of taxpayer funds.A few days after the alleged conversation, another company delivered to the site $12,797 worth of culvert drainage pieces, which were lifted in place at a cost of $1,600, according to county documents. Those companies were paid for their work, and Howards company, R.D. Howard LLC of Fort Worth, was paid the full amount of the original contract, the documents show.R.D. Howard clearly did not do any of the $14,000 part of the bid, the county worker said. Nobody could believe it; we were all talking about it. We knew what was supposed to be done by the contractor, and we were doing it.In addition, the county wants to know why Howard installed a $5,775 concrete driveway extension on private property adjacent to the job site. That project was not included in the original purchase order.I am absolutely offendedThe issue went public last week when Howard, who said he had been unofficially notified of the countys investigation, appeared before the Commissioners Court.Questions had been raised, he told commissioners, about improper billing and whether he gave kickbacks to county officials.I have never given or paid any kickback or under-the-table payments to any Tarrant County official, nor have any ever been requested of me, Howard said, reading from a statement. Moreover, I have never given any such payments to any government official or anyone else.I have never knowingly or willfully overbilled, double-billed or received unearned payments from Tarrant County officials, or any other of the more than 100 local, state and federal government agencies.And, I am absolutely offended and insulted that anyone would question my integrity in this manner. The contractor told commissioners that he had verbally agreed to install the concrete driveway on private property free of charge under his original contract.It is not clear why he prepared a bid for Webster, dated June 6, 2012, or why he was paid nearly $6,000 via a purchase order dated five days later. If Precinct 1 road crews do anything on private property, Maenius said, they must seek approval from the elected commissioner in charge.Commissioner Brooks said he was unaware of the billing questions or the private-property work before the Star-Telegram requested the project records.He said couldnt comment further until Maenius has completed his review.I dont have all the facts right now. When I know more, I will talk about it, Brooks said.It wasnt rightThe road crew worker said he knew the whole thing wasnt right.I had never seen something like this, he said. After the project was completed, he waited a few months to ensure that all the bills and payment invoices had been recorded by Tarrant County. Then he started digging into online county records and, over six months, he put together a book detailing the project.Once I had all the stuff together, I knew I had something special. It blew my mind because the facts were there, the bid history, work orders, the payment history for the materials. There was no way they could cover that up, the worker said.Records obtained from the county by the Star-Telegram match the documentation compiled by the worker.Howards contract was one piece of a joint Tarrant County and state Transportation Department project to eliminate a dangerous Y intersection on a banked curve where Rendon Bloodworth Road met Farm Road 1187, Maenius said.The project entailed converting the end of Rendon Bloodworth into a cul-de-sac, which eliminated the mobile home dealers access to FM 1187.It was a dangerous curve, and we needed to fix this, Maenius said.Howards part of the project, according to the original purchase order, was to build a new driveway, culverts and drainage pieces over a deep bar ditch, restoring the business owners access.Howards crews also added a concrete driveway extension on private property, to allow the property owner to more safely pull off shoulder, decelerate and enter property, according to the June 6 bid from Howard to Webster.Taxpayers moneyTidwell, the county auditor, said she expects to present a written report to commissioners July 9.She will recommend that the county tighten controls on who approves purchases of goods and services within individual departments and precincts. She also will advise that the county adopt a more formal process for documenting changes in scope when projects are modified. She said no change orders were issued for the Rendon Bloodworth project.Maenius said that if there was any wrongdoing, the county will deal with it.This office, that is what we do. We have some homework to do on this thing. We are not slowing down on it. It is not on the back burner; it is upfront, he said.If it means we have more restrictive policies and procedures and a checkoff point with more than one person making the decision, well do that, he said.We need to improve our processes and thats what we are going to do.The road worker said he wants someone at the county to be held accountable.Its the taxpayers money, he said.

March 7 Oscar® Set Revealed
Beverly Hills, CA (February 17, 2010) — The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and 82nd Academy Awards® production designer David Rockwell unveiled the set for the upcoming Oscar show today (2/17). This marks the second consecutive year that Rockwell has designed the set for the Oscar telecast.
"It has been fantastic to work on the Oscars® again, particularly because we have been able to build and expand on so many of the design innovations we introduced last year," said Rockwell. "It has been a thrill to work with Adam, Bill and the rest of the team, dreaming up sets that embrace all the reasons we love movies: the glamour, the lights, the colors, the technique and the emotion!"
Light and movement, the most basic components of moviemaking, will be integrated into this year's sets to create an immersive, transformative environment. Rockwell Group has reprised one of the most dazzling elements of the 81st Academy Awards design – the Swarovski Crystal Curtain – but with new and unexpected features for an even greater theatrical effect. The overall design is intended to evoke a classic but modern glamour, with white, platinum, topaz and smoky bronze hues.
This year's set also features three circular, revolving platforms that work in combination with rotating LED panels and architectural metalwork screens for film projection.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2009 will be presented on Sunday, March 7, 2010, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live by the ABC Television Network beginning at 5 p.m. PT/ 8 p.m. ET. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide.

A few hours ago, my wife and I were sitting out in the yard watching our three children playing together.
I looked around me and saw all that I have.
I have a wonderful, intelligent, and witty wife who chose, for some reason beyond my comprehension, to marry me.
I have three curious, passionate, and funny children who fill every day of my life with laughter and surprise.
I have a home that I'm comfortable in, a circle of friends and family that I deeply value, financial security, and professional opportunities.
Everything isn't perfect. I'm nearly blind in one eye. I am deaf in one ear. I was born with a largely non-functional thyroid. I'm sometimes overly serious and my memory sometimes feels like cheesecloth.
But when I step back and look around me, I see the glass is more than half full.
The wind blows through my hair. Sarah smiles and takes another sip of her tea. Our children run through the grass holding hands together.
This moment is why I choose not to buy things I might want. This moment is why I worry about every penny, probably more than I should. This moment is why it's okay that I'm sometimes still working at two in the morning.
This moment, and the things that make it up, is what makes it all worthwhile.
Sometimes, it's really easy to lose track of the forest because of the trees, but when you stand back once in a while and take everything in, the hard choices seem more than worth it.
What makes it all worth it for you? Take a moment, step back, and look at the big picture. It makes all of the little challenges seem small in comparison.

Women: Sleepin' Blues [EP]
For such a macho-sounding band, Women are the last thing that spring to mind. The Black Country trio's tectonic rumble is fused by half-stoned, full-on boogies that comprise the most abrasive elements of punk and metal; its organic and monstrous music, devoid of bullshit.
Marblewood: Marblewood [Independent]
Theologians and numerologists alike will harp on about the significance of the number three, but anyone with an interest in music knows that three symbolises greatness.
Step forward, Marblewood: Three Zürich-based musicians who pilfer and blend the almighty God-given talents of Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Yes to create the ultimate modern-day bible of monolithic riffs, acid-prog diversions and soulful passages. It's no coincidence that the white smoke emulating from Marblewood towers signals the arrival of a new dawn.
Nosurfatu: Bloody Reef [EP]
Despite Bloody Reef's bummer-in-the-summer vibe, there's a darker side to Nosurfatu. The drawn-out howls that reverberate through 'Who Killed the Surfer at Midnight?' hint at sadistic foreplay that has yet to be fully explored.
Madam Robot and the Lust Brigade: Gardens [EP]
The first listen to Gardens, the latest output by Madam Robot and the Lust Brigade, brings with it an eerie sense of familiarity: You've heard these songs before, but you simply can't place them. 'Gardens' is a flower-punk stomp that reeks of the Seeds, while 'Dear Mind' borrows from Jarvis Cocker and Hunky Dory-era David Bowie, to create a brooding slab of modern-day Britpop. Despite the references, this is one of the best-sounding records in quite a while, redolent of a time when production came before the posturing.
Matushka: Mestopolozhenie [Self-Release]
For a band conceived in the 21st century, Matushka sound so out of sync with all things post-millennial. Swept away on a magic carpet ride, the Russian duo are able to evoke a psychotomimetic-induced state through careful layering and feedback. This isn't a release to expand musical horizons, as much as it might expand a few minds.
Brilliant Machine: Brilliant Machine [EP]
There's something very familiar about a lot of the musical themes here. You know you've heard them before. Not that this debut release is a retro work, but there's a warm, comforting air about its five tracks – not to mention the circa 1990 cover art. Complete with groove-laden riffs, lumbering drums and punk catharsis, Brilliant Machine create loud and abrasive music that acts as the mid-point between stoner and grunge.
Holyphant [Demo]
If you want to know what makes Italy's doomy Holyphant tick, then look no further than the West Midlands: Black Sabbath, Witchfinder General, and to a less extent, early Judas Priest – ok, maybe that's stretching it a bit, but you get the idea. The good stuff.
Dracula: Open Graves at Midnight [EP]
Remember when the New Wave of British Heavy Metal reigned supreme? Well, so do Australia's Dracula. Released through Heavy Chains Records, Open Graves at Midnight contains extremely high-pitched vocals; bluesy riffs; high-energy drums and plenty of devil worshipping.
Taman Shud: Taman Shud [EP]
Taman Shud make burly music; that's the only thing you can really call it. The French quartet's thundering barrage powers through multiple riffs and rhythmic movements without compromising their brutality. Their basic format, of course, has been repeated many times over. However, despite the lack of originally, it doesn't make their debut any less compelling.
Red Wizard [Demo]
Thank the lord for bands like Red Wizard. Operating in their own corner of the musical universe, the blues-rock bruisers rattle off groove-heavy anthems to anyone with a penchant for ballsy, no-frills rock. More please.
Memphys: Memphys [EP]
Thanks to the rise of Partai Records, Indonesia is currently in the midst of a guitar-driven serge. Memphys is the latest band to embrace Patrai's "work and have fun with your music" mantra; the instrumental trio dabble with high-octave grooves and rhythmic surges just as well as their American cousins.
Vega [Demo]
Only two tracks into their career, Vega are already making an impact: Eight days into their free downloads offer, and the band are almost out of freebies. Not that this revelation is surprising. Vega's devotion to rock'n'roll of the intergalactic, jam-orientated variety is fuelled by the urgency of ritual abandon – 'Ouroboros' clocks in at just under 18 minutes. There's also a hefty nod in the direction of all things doomy and dark, which will appeal to many Sabbath devotees.

Ohio State University likes to hang its hat on the fact that NBA superstar LeBron James, had he went to college, would have attended Ohio State.
The school even put in a LeBron James locker in their recent basketball locker room redesign which features a handful of items from James' personal collection.
So it only makes sense James, who's a big OSU fan will not only be on the sidelines for Ohio State's big primetime game against the Wisconsin Badgers, but he'll also be delivering the pre-game speech.
Per BuckeyeSports.com:
An Ohio State spokesperson confirmed to BuckeyeSports.com that four-time NBA MVP LeBron James will be on the third-ranked Buckeyes' sideline on Saturday for the team's primetime matchup with No. 23 Wisconsin. Current plans also call for the two-time reigning NBA Finals MVP to deliver a pre-game speech to the Ohio State squad.
While James might not exactly be known for his award winning speeches, having the biggest name in American sports step into your locker room in attempts to motivate you should be pretty cool for the football team.

The halls are quiet at University High School, but the rooms are not.
Three hundred advanced placement teachers from across the state are attending the Advanced Placement Summer Institute in Morgantown.
The four-day seminar helps teachers improve teaching techniques and focuses on specific content areas ranging from AP art history to AP physics. The seminar in Morgantown is the stop for APSI and the largest one held in the center's existence, according to the West Virginia Center for Professional Development.
Advanced Placement, or AP, is a highly regarded program sponsored by the College Board, and AP courses are taught in high school, and students can often take them for college credit.
"Rigorous courses that get student ready to take on college, and succeed in college and do well in life. West Virginia is really focusing on advanced placement right now so students are prepared for success in the 21st century," said Karen Linville, director of the AP Program.
The institute is sponsored by the W.Va. Center for Professional Development. This is the second year of full implementation of W.Va. Board of Education Police 2510, which requires all AP teachers to take professional development courses every two to three years, according to a news release from the W.Va. Center for Professional Development.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Indeed. Thank you Blizzard.
It seems my long-winded post on the Suggestion forum was heard!
Although I only asked for an increase in the Frost rate (I didn't like the idea of the value of my hard-earned Frost Badges dropping)...
For those who don't know, in comparision to the cost of Frost gear on the PTR and Bete servers, the old conversion rate devalued Frost Badges to about 1/4 of their worth. 95 frost badges (enough to buy the Frost chest pieces, ect), were worth about 262 JP. The Frost chest pieces cost 1100 JP on the forum, which is a little more than 4x the price. Even Triumph were essentially devalued by half, as all the triumph pieces (Heirlooms included) were in the range of 400-700 JP.
With these new rates, the value of Frost Badges are staying roughly the same (which is good), and the value of Triumph badgets is increasing by a factor I'm not in the mood to try and calculate (it would be largely subjective, based on how you'd choose to define a Triumph badge's value in relation to Frost and/or Justice Points).
While I know some people are going to be furious that Triumphs are essentially being "upconverted" to Frost (at least one subset of hardcore players are going to see this as a devaluation of their hard-earned Frost badges and Frost/ICC gear), a lot of casuals are going to be ectastatic, being able to look forward to buying complete Frost sets simply by farming heroics between now and 4.0.
I'm in the middle. While I do feel slightly irked by the idea of Triumph (essentially) purchasing Frost gear (it's unprecedented, Blizzard has never upconverted existing badges before, and it does make all my time in ICC feel a little devalued), ultimately it's silly to feel that way with Cataclysm on the horizon. Let the teeming masses have some shiny new Tier 10. Heck, it will probably give a boost to the gem and enchant market after 4.0! :D
I will say this: DO NOT BUY HEIRLOOMS BEFORE 4.0. Save your Triumph. Right now it takes 40 Triumph to purchase the cheapest heirloom, right? The cheapest heirloom on the PTR and Beta is about 400 JP. 40 Triumph x 11.58 JP per Triumph = 463 JP. Therefore, save those triumph! Heirlooms will be *slightly* cheaper after 4.0. So unless you need the heirlooms for alts you are leveling *right now*, just hold off. :)

He bowed before his awesome God, falling face down as dead in total reverence and humility to Christ's Lordship.

The reviews are in.
Real Salt Lake coach Jason Kreis called it a "wonder goal" and an "individual moment of brilliance." Major League Soccer nominated it for Goal of the Week. And RSL midfielder Sebastian Velasquez, who watched it on TV at home, jumped up and down on his bed when he saw his teammate's bending shot sail past the fingertips of the goalkeeper and curve in to the top corner of the net last weekend.

"You score a goal like that," Velasquez said, "there's something special about you."
In just a few months with the club, and in limited action with the first team, RSL forward Olmes Garcia has impressed with his ability and promise. But he and his coach know there's work left to be done to make sure his spectacular goal last weekend in a 1-1 draw with Vancouver is more than a just one-hit wonder.
"Do I think there could have been more plays in that game and perhaps should have been more plays in that game?" Kreis said this week. "Yeah, so I think there is still a lot of improvement needed on his part. I hope that we all don't feel that he scored one goal so his job is done, because there's a whole lot more left to be done."
Garcia has wowed fans and teammates with his speed and skill on the ball.
"As soon as I saw him take a couple touches on the ball," Velasquez said, "I knew he was something special."
But Kreis noted it was Garcia's work off the ball, chasing down a long pass from RSL defender Lovel Palmer, winning possession and then settling into an open spot on the field, that set up his first MLS goal.
More and more, Garcia said, he has begun to feel comfortable with Kreis' system, which often gives newcomers — rookies and veterans alike — troubles early on.
"It takes time," Garcia said. "But the coach explains it so well that as time goes by, you get natural with it."
With four other forwards on the roster, RSL officials have said they view Garcia as something of a long-term project. Garcia, a 20-year-old Colombian who left Deportes Quindio to sign a five-year deal with Salt Lake, isn't shying away from the challenge.
"It was a dream [to sign with RSL]," he said, with Velasquez acting as translator. "It was a great opportunity to move forward. I had the chance to come here, and I'm here to work hard."

Born Free USA Global Field Projects
Elephants in Sri Lanka
(Photograph by Born Free Foundation)
The Elephant Transit Home (ETH) in Udawalawe, Sri Lanka, was established in 1996 by the country's Department of Wildlife Conservation. Young elephants from around Sri Lanka who have become separated from their mothers are brought here, where they are treated for injuries or infections, cared for until weaning age, and then released back to the wild in a national park.
Usually under 1 year of age when they are rescued, these calves would not survive without their mothers, and without a facility such as the ETH they would almost certainly spend their lives in captivity (if they could be kept alive).
Born Free USA and the Born Free Foundation support the ETH by providing vehicles, buildings, equipment and other resources.
Since releases began in 1998 more than 60 elephants have been returned to the wild. The ETH is the only permanent facility in Asia conducting such a rehabilitation and release program, and the only government-run program of its sort in the world.
Support from Born Free USA not only helps improve facilities and make the annual budget go that bit further, but it also sends an important message of international recognition and encouragement for this visionary project and the dedicated, compassionate people who run it.
In 2008 we held a symposium on elephant conservation and welfare issues, and shortly after this we took on Dr. Deepani Jayantha as our Country Representative. Since then we have stepped up our activity on Human Elephant Conflict mitigation projects as well as other activities.

Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite Low "Royal"
August 28th, 2012 by Brendan Dunne | 11 comments
Given all the samples that we've seen floating around in 2012 it seems pretty likely at this point that the Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite Low will indeed see a retail release. Which version will hit is a bit of a tougher question, with both bulbous and flat Swooshed pairs appearing at different points. This latest look features the fatter Swoosh, along with a royal looking colorway that has them looking like a truer tribute than previous pairs thanks to the tie-in with the original 'Royal' Nike Air Foamposite One. Click through with us to check out the latest look at the ever evolving Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite Low featuring a familiar Penny style colorway and let us know what you think in the comments below.

These Tuff
only low air force one i will ever cop
I agree the raised swoosh seems to be a bit much.
...not my style, but still easy on the eyes... Nice.
Flat swoosh & their considered copped
I like the flat swoosh much, much better.
I dont like the swoosh on the outside.
The flat swoosh looks better imo but either way I still like em.
why do the do the two different swooshes for the lows?
only foamposites I will ever cop, except for the penny's I rocked as a kid.

Deals firm Living Social cuts 10% of staff
Deals firm Living Social cuts 10% of staff
Company spokesman Andrew Weinstein said in an email that most of the jobs were US-based but that "a couple dozen" positions were in international locations.
"After two years of hyper-growth from 450 to more than 4,500 employees, these moves will align our cost structure against our 2013 plans and will help us set the company on a path for long-term growth and profitability," the statement said.
"Specifically, they will us to allow us to invest more in critical priorities like marketing, mobile, and the hiring of additional technology staff."
The spokesman added that Eric Eichmann, president of LivingSocial's international business unit, is also leaving under a "mutual decision" with management.
Washington-based Living Social has been under pressure along with its larger rival, Groupon, as consumers show fatigue over online deals offers.
The firms aim to make money by selling members deals for discounts on activities, items or services and then splitting the money with the businesses involved.
Both firms have been seeking to diversify, but have been struggling to become profitable.
Amazon, which owns a stake in LivingSocial reported a writedown of $169 million recently on that investment under accounting rules requiring a charge against earnings to reflect the lower estimated value of the company.
LivingSocal has deferred talk of a public offering.
Groupon shares have slid some 80 percent since its IPO last year.

The FDA announced it will not approve any generic versions of the popular painkiller Oxycontin.
The intent is to lower the rate of abuse but the bad side is for those who truly need the drug, the price will likely go up.
Because the tablets are slow-release, abusers will crush the pills to get the effects of an entire dose at once. But in 2010, the manufacturers of Oxycontin introduced a new formulation of the pill that cannot be crushed and turns into a jelly like substance instead.
Since the FDA says this new formulation safeguards against abuse, generic Oxycontin will no longer be available.

The Automobile Association (AA) recently asked the NZ government to reduce the GST on petrol, saying it's a "tax on a tax". Almost half the cost of petrol at the pump is government levies and taxes. The government then adds GST on top of that, which increases the price by $0.077 a litre.
Increased crude oil prices around the world don't just cut into consumers' bank balance when filling up the car with petrol. The increased cost of diesel is affecting transport companies, who will charge more for delivering stock, such as supermarket groceries. Those retailers, in turn, will raise their prices to compensate. This means end-products for consumers, such as groceries, will go up. Again.
In 2010, the cost of milk, cheese and eggs increased by 12.6 percent and the price of vegetables by 15.4 percent. Add increased power charges and petrol prices and it's easy to see why the AA thought it was becoming too difficult for the average New Zealander to enjoy some sort of quality of life.
Unfortunately, the government gave an emphatic "no" to the suggestion of cutting GST on petrol. Prime Minister John Key said the government's revenues were already under pressure, following the Canterbury earthquake, and much of the tax on petrol was used to pay for roads.
Awesome. Because if you've driven around New Zealand, you know the quality of our roads is sublime. You would be forgiven for thinking either (a) where the hell is all that money going, or (b) they need to spend a lot more of it.
Australia, India and the UK have also been looking into the "price of petrol" situation. Australia even has a petrol commissioner, who has "full powers … to monitor and investigate petrol prices". Phew, glad someone's on the case.
Perhaps, instead of spending yet more money on petrol-related activities, governments should examine why the world is still so dominated by oil companies.

On March 5th, a team of scientists, engineers and two hot air balloon pilots put a house into a space.
Okay, so we're exaggerating a bit, but nonetheless they managed to lift a house 10,000 feet above the ground using 300 8-foot colored weather balloons. The house measures 16×16-feet and is 18-feet tall. If the scene looks familiar, that's because you saw it performed in Pixar's "Up", an animated film.
The event, or stunt, was part of How Hard Can It Be?, a show that will air on the National Geographic channel sometime this fall. Sure makes for a great promotional tool as well, don't it?
Course, the house was empty and built specifically for this stunt, unlike the house in "Up", which contained the old man's valuables, in addition to insulation, a foundation and more. Still, it's an impressive feat.

What would you do with a million dollars? If you answered, "Destroy a car", then you would have something in common with the driver of this Porsche. The Porsche 9ff GT9-R is, without question, one of the fastest cars on Earth as shown by a top speed of 257 mph with a 1120 cp and a peak torque of 1000 NM. Unfortunately, the 9ff GT9-R's staggering numbers can also make it a death-ride on four wheels.
Case in point: a 9ff GT9-R was recently taken to the UK to perform a test drive on the Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground race track. At 217 mph, the pilot hit the brakes hard, lost control, and crashed. Fortunately, the driver is ok, but the car is a total loss!
This was unit number 0/20, so we imagine it will take some time until we see a new unit built.

I renounce my desire to control everything, and manage everyone's lives for "the better" (aka MY better, and probably just interfering, smothering, and -more than likely- annoying).
I renounce my self conscious feelings of feeling boring or too old. I am an introvert, and nothing will change this; but I definitely feel like looking back, I am often a stick in the mud, or only fun around a very select few people. I need to put my best feet forward, and make the most of each day. I remember this sometimes, but I also forget this sometimes, too… every day is precious, and I spend a lot of this precious time complaining or comparing, both things that are, ultimately, useless.

Deja Vu was released earlier this month (featuring Roc Marciano, Blu, Raw Poetic, Damu The Fudgemunk and more) and has already established itself as one of 2014's most solid releases.

In Julie Cross' Tempest, the year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy: he's in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it's not like the movies - nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there's no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors - it's just harmless fun. That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot.

I am hopefully going to be able to create a web site for myself now that we are broadbanded. I would like info on how to go about this seemingly mind-boggling task. I have looked at a site called 1&1 and have seen an 8.99 a month package. Really just wondering if anyone has used simmilar and if they are sucssesful with thier site.
Unless you want a database the cheaper 1&1 home account is plenty. I use 1&1 and have had no problem with them, except their crap tech support who take up to 3 weeks to answer an email. The good thing about 1&1 is that you can run a number of sites from your package at no extra charge. You also get a software bundle that is easy to use or you can use the online software. However, if you only want to run one site I would recommend www.sitehq.com. Their 25 per package is plenty and you get a database so you can use photo galleries like coppermine. If you look around the web you will also find website templates that give you a ready made site and all you need to do is fill in the gaps where text and pictures go. Very easy. Some of these templates also require no addition softwate like dreamweaver.
Godaddy are IMHO one of the best web hosts that you can get and they are very reasonably priced as well, their technical side is second to none and touch wood!! since I have been hosted by them I have never had a site go down at all - Check them out Godaddy.com if you want anymore help just let me know.
I use Oneandone for hosting my various websites, and have done for over 4 years now. They have been entirely reliable over that time and pretty easy to use. I have the Business package which includes access to one MYSQL database which means I can set up my own weblogs, galleries and other content management systems using standard 3rd party software packages. I've had a generally good experience with them. Whether the site is successful you'll have to judge for yourself - check out the link in my profile, but it won't tell you much.....
Downsides for me are: no access to a command line or a control panel (specifically to run scheduled jobs), and the email support is pretty slow. (I could always pay more for the scheduling facility) On the other hand, telephone support even into the small hours has always been good.
Personally if this is your first foray into website building I would explore what "free" webspace is on offer, if any, from your ISP and work out how you're going to use that, then look for a specialist webhost when you worked out want you want to do, and how to do it.
BTW if you do go for a separate webhost, check that their servers are physically in the UK. I spent 6 months tearing my hair out over a website hosted by a UK company on machines in Texas. The time lag while small for casual observers was getting enough to drive me up the wall after a while. No longer!!
My real question is would I be able to set up something along the lines of Owan Clarke
using 1 &1 packages ?
Probably easier if you look at 1&1 web site and check the 8.99 a month package.
Thanks again.
I use www.names.co.uk for my web hosting. They are not the cheapest but they are very reliable and their servers are fast.
However, my needs are probably different to yours as my websites (I have 3 at present) contain in one case hundreds of photos and in another (my wedding website at www.harwoodphotography.com literally thousands of photos which take up a lot of space.
I maintain the websites myself as HTML is really quite simple and intuitive (like all things - easy when you know how)
Yes you could set that site up with 1&1 with the free netobjects software. Once you have leant the software that site is a couple of hours work. The 4.99 home package is more than enough to run a site like that and you will be wasting your money if you go for the business package.
The short answer is yes - I've just gone back to the website creator in my 1&1 account to remind myself and made a couple of pages with pictures on. So with a bit of effort you COULD recreate Owan's site with the 1&1 tools. That is, pages of thumbnails each linked to a full size image on another page. But its painful once you've got the hang of it.
Ray1's nailed it, above ...
I used to be with 'one and one' then got totally pissed off with them. I have since moved to Yahoo!Geocities which is fab. I have done a website for Angie (Arwensgrace), and have a few of my own which goes to prove that as a beginner Yahoo is easy
You get the option of a free site with 15mb storage or a paid one (ad free) with 25 megs (or more if you wish) for around 4.50 - 5.00 a month - which you pay on a month to month basis. There is no set up fee and the bonus with Yahoo! Geocities, is that you can use the page builder which they supply, (so easy and straightforward) and also incorporate any HTML code which gives you the freedom to be creative and imaginative with presentation. For a simple, easy to build website that even an idiot could do, I would vouch for Yahoo.
By the way....for copy and paste HTML visit dynamicdrive.com - they have loads of stuff to spice your site up and make it really proffessional and it's as easy as ABC to paste it onto your geocities site.
Hope this helps
Just had a look at Owens site and its straightforward and easy to do with yahoo. If you want, i can knock up a sample page on my own site and send you a link or you can acess my website to see what i have done with the facilites yahoo gave me. I have the freebie option because i'm a tight b@st@rd.
You have to set up a yahoo id first though in order to get a geocities site but once you've done that its no hassle from then on. You can even get your yahoo email addy if you want or keep your own for email enquiries. Yahoo is really worth seriously considering. To thumnail any images I have downloaded this tool which takes the sweat out of everything. Its called 'easy thumbnails' and you can size many images to the same size as you want. The addy is:
If you want any more help i'll be glad to assist
dave i got it very cheap with a company called beglobal.
think it works out at 3$ per month or close to it and not very much to register my domain name. I have had no problems with them. I built the site with macromedia dreamweaver but there is quite a lot of free wysiwyg software out if your search yahoo for free web builders. I taught myself through trial and error so the software is usually quite easy to work out. email me for more info if you want my email is in my profile
Thanks guys all this info, just having never done anything like this before I need to know ins and outs. Owen I may well e-mail you as your site is the kind of thing I was hoping to achieve.
Kate if you could that would be great.
e-mail is daviewat(at)gmail(dot)com
Also a lot of people at the hostel continually ask me for prints of the images I have framed about the place so it would ne nice if they could do that from a web site themselves, possibly paying a fee through paypal or similar etc.
PS of course it may be easier to pay someone who knows what to do set it up for me !!!!!!!! any takers ??????????
After my own experience I would avoid 1&1 like the plague, their customer service is abismal, especially when you want to leave. For an extremely friendly host I can't reccomend thesehighly enough, I am not affiliated with betterwebspace at all, but they provide inexpensive fully featured hosting that is both reliable and plus they offer superb customer service
Dave if you do decide to go the 1&1 site and use the free software that you get (netobjects) let me know and I will do you a site the same as owens for free. Ill make the template up and email to you. You can then import it into your copy of netobjects so you can update your gallery as you wish. If you like I can do you a small demo before you decide which route you wish to take.

Rolling Stone
Late last week the political world learned that Hall & Oates fans had created their own super PAC with the aim of damaging the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. "We just figure that America needs more Hall and Oates," the group's co-founder William Hansmann told Rolling Stone. "We started this as a joke, but then it kind of blew up. I assume they've caught wind of it."
Bing: Eva Longoria to speak at Democratic National Convention
Indeed, Daryl Hall and John Oates had caught wind of Hall and Oates Fans for America -- and they weren't happy about it. Their people have asked organizers to dissolve the super PAC. Halls and Oates Fans for America didn't put up a fight. Here is the complete statement from Hall & Oates manager Jonathan Wolfson:
"Representatives of Daryl Hall and John Oates have been in contact with the founders of the Hall and Oates Fans for America super PAC and are pleased to report that the group's concerns regarding the unauthorized use of their names for fundraising purposes by the super PAC have been amicably resolved and that the super PAC is being dissolved by the founders. The spokesperson for the founders advised that no funds have been raised by the PAC.
"Daryl Hall and John Oates recognize that the personal view points of their fans cross all political spectrums and are honored to be supported by their fans everywhere, regardless of political affiliation. The PAC's founders recognize that the use of the "Hall" and "Oates" names for the purpose of raising funds is not an appropriate fan activity, no matter what the goal of the fund raising activities might be.

"Daryl Hall and John Oates are pleased that the amicable dialog with the founders of the super PAC have brought an expedient resolution to this matter and achieve a result both sides are pleased with."
During its brief lifespan, the Hall and Oates Fans for America super PAC had no website, Facebook page or any means to accept donations. A Twitter account was quickly suspended for unknown reasons. Basically, all they did was fax a form to the Federal Election Commission. There were plans to create a series of Romney-mocking videos -- possibly using songs such as "Out of Touch" or "I Can't Go For That" -- but presumably those plans have been set aside.

Sinar will be accepting digital backs from others
Never a dull moment in the medium format world. Sinar has now announced that their system will be accepting digital backs from other medium format manufacturers. Score one more goal for interoperability, although this one came in a roundabout way and as a side-effect of the F&H financial troubles. This will be done with an adapter for the arTec (airTec if Nike buys them) and a new P3 view camera.

So I as most know I had a baby 3 weeks ago. I put on quite a bit of weight. So I started working out Wednesday and logging today. I wanted to go and get a treat to eat. Then I went and tried on clothes. This made me know-I need this and I need to not buy that crap. So I opted to buy some herbal tea. I made an ice tea drink out of it with splenda to sweeten it-so that was my treat. I want to fit back into my clothes. Since I got rid of my "fat clothes." I have nothing to wear to church. So here it goes. I will lose this weight.
Here I sit sulking over last summers pictures of myself. I am going to print them all out and put them on my refrigerator. That ways I can use them as motivation to keep on going. I know I will get back there. I just hope it is before school is done. My goal is to get my BF% down to lets say 22%-that is healthy. Right in the middle of norm. I will still weight in, but I am not going to go by weight alone. Last time I did that I was never satisfied, even though I was in the size I was in in high school. I don't think I had ever had that much muscle before-so I couldn't understand why I still weighed so much, but it was mostly muscle. So this time I go by body fat. Anyhow I need to go shower and study. Term just started and I have a kinesiology test and an anat/phys test in two weeks!!! Wish me luck.
So I had my little girl 3 weeks ago and gave myself the green light to start working out. I started today with Turbo Jam Cardio Party 2. I have never done 2 before-it was actually pretty fun. I love to sweat!!
Today in my exercise development class we are going to be doing measurements and checking our fitness levels. So this should be fun. I am excited, just because I am going to have a good starting point. We weight in, but we also do fat % and find out lean body mass. So that will be a good thing to have, better than going by weight. I get to practice on my bro and his wife when the come around. The love that stuff.
We are starting our next term in my personal training program(PFT). I am taking the second part of anat/phys, kinesiology, exercise development, and exercise psychology. Yesterday was the first day of psych class and I am actually excited for that one. It seems like it is going to be really fun and interesting. I am excited to get more knowledge under my belt to actually be able to start helping people.
Even though the program frowns on workouts like P90X and those types I am going to be starting Insanity hopefully next week. Also hopefully getting some good input from my development teacher to figure out what I should be doing for my body-to get it where I want it. I guess you could say this class is like 40 weeks of personal training. I was going to say free, but I guess I am paying for it-haha!!
Well good luck to everyone on your weight loss goals and expect to be seeing me much more often!!
So I am too excited to get back here. I know I am suppose to stay on the baby fit sight for breastfeeding, however I cannot stand the food log over there. So after baby is out and I am back on track I am going to come back and just add a few hundred cals so I can keep up with the breast feeding. Or maybe I can even find out what my cal intake should be and go off of that and log on here. I am such a great thinker-haha. I just updated my page with what I am up to today. I am doing some crazy stuff that I know I can do this. It is hard, but I am going to be so grateful when I am done and can be helping others to better their lives. So good luck to all and I cannot wait to be back soon. See you all in 3 months. I am sure I will keep on coming back until then.
So I have not been on her for a while because of the fact I am pregnant and we had a junkie computer. We moved to Utah about 8 months ago and my husband lost his job. We got a new one started this week!! So that is exciting. It was nice because I was back in Cali for 2 weeks and the job was our welcome home present.
Well anyhow I have started to workout again. Gave up on Insanity, but can't wait until the pregnancy is over so I can start back at it. I am doing low intensity workouts for now. I am jealous every time my husband and his friends get together to do the workouts. For now though I am doing what I can.
So I should clarify why I called this blog sad. I am sooo not sad about being pregnant. Ever time I feel the baby move in my stomach I am so excited that I get to have a baby. I LOVE babies. Anyhow I was just looking at my pictures and seeing where I got last summer. It made me a little sad, because when I moved I didn't do as much and wasn't watching what I ate so I got back to about 175 before I got pregnant. It means more weight to take off. So I am trying to be good, but for some reason it is hard when I am pregnant. I feel I can eat what I want, but I have been trying to do good things for the baby.
Anyhow I look forward to keeping up my workouts so I can have hopefully a easy delivery. I can't wait to see this baby and I cannot wait to do another triathlon!! Well just had to get that off my chest after seeing those pics. Look out P90X I will be seeing you in a few months-haha.

Offbeat Traveler: The Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland
Image 1 of 10
Giant's Causeway
The Giant's Causeway, at the foot of basalt cliffs in Northern Ireland, is made up of 40,000 black basalt columns jutting out of the ocean. Volcanic activity 50 million to 60 million years ago created these step-like columns on the edge of the Antrim plateau.
Three periods of volcanic activity created the different parts of the causeway, also referred to as the Lower, Middle and Upper Basalts; the Middle Basalt portion features the famous hexagonal columns of the Causeway.

Never saw this before…hell I hadn't even heard of it but tonight I came face to face with my first pair of inverted nipples. I spent a lot of time playing "whack-a-nipple" with my tongue…twas a fun time had by all.
Amy (my fubu) has a friend of a friend of a friend who throws these elaborate all girl orgies every few months. The cost is $350 which seems expensive but the money went towards the space, food/alcohol and paraphernalia. I've had many, many 3somes but never an orgy so when I found out about it I slapped down my $350 (I spend more money than that on a night out at the club without the guarantee of sex). The process of getting an invite was exhaustive and took about month as the people are selected after answering questionnaires, sending pics in various states of undress, sending an email talking about yourself and finally a phone interview. Oh and you have to have an HIV/STD test.
The event finally happened last night and it was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. It was held in what used to be an office building of some kind (based on the setup I would say it was once for sports medicine or PT). There was a large open space with soft lights and candles, food that looked like it was catered, really good wine/alcohol, California kings in groups of two at 4 sets sat a few feet apart all with nice linens, various toys (vibrators, strap-ons, butt plugs and etc.) with condoms provided, and even dental dams. There were 2 rooms dedicated for bondage and S&M, 3 for one on one and two bathrooms with showers.
There were a total of 16 women (including Amy and myself) of different types (mostly femmes but a few tomboys and butches), from different racial backgrounds (black, white, Hispanic and etc.) and from various professions (accountants, teachers, business execs, caterers and etc.). Most of the women were stunning…short and petite with perky breasts to Amazonian with large suckable melon breasts to toned athletic types with small breasts but amazing nipples. I was literally in heaven.
For maybe an hour there was a lot of mingling and drinking. Oh and there was also weed so a few women were smoking too. Everything got started off when two women began kissing and one led the other to a bed. After that there were bodies everywhere. Amy and I began with one another; she was going down on me when I felt two mouths each on a nipple and shortly after someone was kissing me. I immediately came. That was more stimulation than I've ever experienced. I wielded a strap on with this one small perky thing who rode me in every position possible talking dirty to me in ways that I'd never been talked to before. She came over and over and over again grasping my breasts hard and telling me to pound her. I came just listening to her and watching her cum. She was also an amazing kisser with full lips and a wicked tongue.
There was a mind blowingly sexy older black woman who I thought was in her early 30s but she was actually in her early 40s. I watched her for a little while just enjoying how sensual and passionate she was. She had one woman going so wild that she begged her to stop because it felt too good. I ended up masturbating to the sight of it all. I wanted her to myself so I made a point of going up to her and requesting we go off alone despite the fact that I am a bit of an exhibitionist/voyeur.
We showered together…I don't think I mentioned how amazing her body was. She was incredibly fit, her abs were defined but soft, she had that v of muscle along her hips, and her breasts were an awesome C. I washed her and she washed me and we made out… a lot. I came because it was so hot. One of the 1 on 1 rooms was open so we went in and did everything and I do mean everything but it was slow and erotic; she wasn't in a hurry and neither was I. With her I had my very first multiple orgasm. We were sitting face to face, she was fingering me and I was inside her…we would kiss then break apart just to watch each other's reactions. She was masterful with her fingers, completely putting me to shame. At one point she could tell I was getting close so she begged me to look her in the eyes while I came, to not close my eyes. It was so hard but when I did cum, I looked her directly in the eyes and there was something about how she was looking at me not to mention that she came too that made me succumb to multiple orgasms. I eventually had to break eye contact and squirm away from her because it was much too much. I think I screamed like a banshee and curled up in the fetal position until my legs and feet began to cramp from all the convulsing. If that hadn't happened, I probably would have gone on coming for an hour. She helped me massage the cramps out of my legs and feet. After I regained my breath and use of all my motor functions, I made a point of giving her as much pleasure as I possibly could. In fact I gave her a multiple orgasm while she was riding my face (it's my favorite and most skillful position) which I internally patted my back for. I mean it wasn't quite as violent as the one she gave me but still. She gave me her information and suggested we get together again soon…oh yes ma'am we will.
I will be going back to another orgy but I think two people are my limit. Next time I'll just watch until I find one or two women to pull aside and have my way with them or have them have their way with me.
Yeah I said it!!!

Surprised? I'd like to see a little less hatred from the LGBTQA+ community on the last three subjects. I am accepting and respectful of all your beliefs.

PS I was raised an agnostic democrat/liberal in a very blue city so I know both sides)
PPS: it hurts when you guys say being Republican is wrong. To me, even a little more than being gay is wrong.}
Christian I get. Transgendered and homoflexible I get too although all these freaking labels are beginning to drive me nuts. Conservative and pro-lifer…those two I don't get.
I won't go on and on about your conservatism as most people have already touched on this but I do have two words for you cognitive dissonance…marinate on it.
As someone who has volunteered and worked closely with various organizations it kills me to see what the anti-abortion movement has done to the poor and working class especially within minority communities. Your kind prevents these people from having abortions so you force them to bring a child into this world that they don't want then what? I'll tell you…these unwanted children become wards of the state where they could remain for the rest of their lives being transported from foster home to foster home because let's face it, American black or Hispanic babies aren't being adopted at nearly the pace that white babies are. Or these kids grow up neglected and abused by the people who never wanted them in the first place. In my experience with pro-lifers none of you are anywhere to be found once you prevent the abortions from happening. You aren't involved with the prenatal care or the births or anything that comes after. So you want the right to prevent me from making the right decision for MY life but you're nowhere to be found once the consequences of YOUR decisions come to fruition.
And those women who become pregnant as a result of rape…this sickens me even more…that you would expect a woman to not only have to deal with the trauma of that experience but to force them to carry the child of their rapist is beyond cruel. I know there are many people out there right now who are products of rape and I applaud their mothers for being brave enough to bring them into the world but not every woman can nor wants to put themselves through that and why force them to…so you can feel better about yourself?
How about you let me worry about my immortal soul and you worry about yours because in the end I am the one responsible for getting myself into heaven, not you.
I can't believe I'm on here talking about this while I'm on vacation.

Late PM (Early AM) Poetry
I can't effin' sleep so what do I do…I write awesomely cheesy bad poetry
Scaling nimbly, tenuously underneath her lay
Her land beneath my hand, they bend to curl
Around my waist, attracting my need
Enticing my want for warmth… and that dew
Intoxicated, far past drunk with her pungence
Sinking ever deeper in the open vault of her neck
Burying my tips, parting her wonder
Inhaling, engulfing every piece of her sensuality
A divergence develops and in it I am enveloped
Draw me in… she feels me through her eyes
Fixated upon me, her gaze pierces while it still beats
Sweetening each caress… each dive… each writhe
And as it nears, for both, a lock and grasp
All eight, consume their lover until saturated
We press and move in disjointed harmony
Her hand on my small, in my small
Tripling its hunger as it swells
Mine in her world, owning it in that moment
In an unknown language, it calls my name
Our world slips into a violently gentle tremor
A thousand quakes break; her body a plate against mine
