Researchers in Ballarat have developed a new warm-up program that is reducing leg injuries in country football clubs.
The AFL's annual survey of injuries is due out in the next week, and if it follows the trend, hamstring injuries will still be the most prevalent.
Cameron Ward, the fitness trainer with the Ocean Grove Grubbers, says leg injuries can be devastating for country clubs.

Country footy teams in Victoria have warned player payments must be regulated or some clubs will go under.
Some teams are spending in the vicinity of $500,000 a year to attract players to their clubs, leaving many smaller teams unable to compete.
AFL Victoria has the payments are unsustainable and has set up a committee to investigate ways to rein in player payments in both country and metropolitan leagues.
The league is considering a system of player points to regulate salaries.

The background music is nice, but the sound effects are of very low quality. Also, the game is very rude for displaying a large WRONG when you fail a level. That's gay.

good game
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars October 22, 2012
An interesting puzzle game, and (in my opinion) one of Newgrounds' best. Very well-constructed, and the levels are all of a workable difficulty without taking the creative aspect away from the player. Addictive, too.
My only complain is the lack of a Quality setting. This is something that I don't think should ever be removed from a Flash game. I remember on my old tower computer, this game was unplayable because the framerate would completely fall to pieces due to the machine's performance--if not for that one oversight, the game would be an easy five stars.
Still, I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys puzzle and/or physics games. It's damn near the top of the line in both categories.
Rated 5 / 5 stars September 21, 2012
40 levels in all, but only 30 addictive levels. Clearly, 10 of the levels are not addictive.

TV ads warn Cumbria's young drivers
Two advertisements are being aired on Border TV over the summer to warn young drivers about the dangers of excessive or inappropriate speed.
The ads, produced by Cumbria Safety Cameras, are being shown on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 17 July in prime time and afternoon slots.
They are shot to appear as though they have been taken on a mobile phone. They feature a young male driver who kills his girlfriend in a car crash, and include the views of a girlfriend who is scared about dying in her boyfriend's car.
Kevin Tea, manager of Cumbria Safety Cameras, said: " The ads work on their own but also support educational messages being put out in the county."

This my grandson who is three years old. I made these pictures on Thanksgiving, at first he kept hiding from me, didn't want his picture made, then when he decided to let me take his picture, he had lots of faces to show me, including how to roll his eyes back in his head. LOL
I did this LO as an 8.5x11 so that I could include it in my daughter's scrapbook for Christmas. She hasn't seen these pictures of her adorable son! Can't wait to see her face when she them. LOL

The Community-based Risk Screening Tool – Adaptation and Livelihoods (CRiSTAL) is designed to help project planners and managers integrate climate change adaptation and risk reduction into community-level projects. It helps project designers and managers to understand the links between livelihoods and climate in their project areas; assess a project's impact on community-level adaptive capacity; and make project adjustments to improve its impact on adaptive capacity and reduce the vulnerability of communities to climate change.
This paper (PDF) presents an overview of existing practices by summarizing the findings from an extensive survey of various institutions, drawing on the lessons learned from development finance, the public and private activities of international financial institutions and experience with market-based instruments. The paper mainly focuses on mitigation, and it seeks to discern lessons for policymakers by addressing two key questions: What makes climate finance effective? and what tools, methods or systems might improve the effectiveness of climate finance?
This working paper explores what historical patterns of investment reveal about the potential for the private sector to play a significant role in raising and delivering climate finance, specifically in the context of the adaptation needs of developing countries. The author finds that private-sector finance is unevenly distributed among countries and among sectors, and it often does not match developing countries' most pressing needs. Also important is to differentiate between different financial flows - foreign direct investment equity vs. portfolio equity, for example, and equity vs.
This web-based programme allows technical and non-technical users alike to visualise the effects of climate change. Users can view historic temperature and rainfall maps overlaid with predictions of temperature and rainfall based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report. Users can review three greenhouse gas emission scenarios laid out by the IPCC with additional data layers from which more detailed forecasts can be drawn. ClimateWizard was developed by the Nature Conservancy and the Universities of Washington and Southern Mississippi.
CARE has developed the Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA) process to help communities to better understand the implications of climate change for the lives and livelihoods of the people impacted by climate change. By combining local knowledge with scientific climate information, the process builds people's understanding about climate risks and adaptation strategies. It provides a framework for dialogue within communities, as well as between communities and other stakeholders. The handbook is available in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese.
German development agency GIZ created the Climate Proofing for Development tool based on a methodology used in Government-financed development projects. The tool is applicable to many levels - national, sectoral, project, and local - and enables analysis of policy, projects, and programmes in relation to the risks of climate change, which can assist users in identifying appropriate adaptation measures. Climate Proofing for Development determines the bio-physical and socioeconomic impacts of climate change in order to plan appropriate adaptation strategies.
In this paper, the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) assesses the current status of the climate finance landscape, mapping its magnitude and nature along the life cycle of finance flows, i.e. the sources of finance, intermediaries involved in distribution, financial instruments, and final uses. After presenting estimates of current flows based on available data, describing the methodology, and discussing the sources of data, we offer recommendations to improve further data-gathering efforts.
CEDRA is a strategic-level environmental field tool for agencies working in developing countries. It helps agencies to access and understand the science of climate change and environmental degradation and ensure their full portfolio of projects is resilient. Using CEDRA, civil society organisations can prioritise which environmental hazards may pose a risk to their existing project locations, enabling them to make decisions to adapt projects or start new ones. Adaption options are discussed, and decision-making tools are provided to help organisations make their projects resilient.

Marshmellow Yellow (Ital Remix) by Peaking Lights
Posted on 3 April 2012
We've slept on this one a bit considering it came out late last year on 100% Silk - one of the most hyped electronic labels at present. Label power-broker Ital gives the Peaking Lights original a more dance orientated vibe, which coupled with the chant like vocals give it a tribal rhythm, undoubtedly designed for the floor. This is definitely one for spinning later in the night when people are a little more open minded - or just intoxicated. Enjoy.

The road to Navajo National Monument winds its way up from Highway 160, the artery connecting Tuba City and Kayenta, Arizona. Up and up the car seems to travel, slowly gaining altitude. Often in the winter, the turnoff in the valley will be free of snow. Up the nine miles to the monument, the snow becomes thicker and thicker, testimony to the dependence on the natural environment and the difficulty that characterizes life in this region. These relationships epitomize the modern and prehistoric story of Navajo National Monument.
Located in the heart of the western section of the Navajo reservation, Navajo National Monument comprises three sections, none of which are contiguous. The main section, referred to by the name of the cliff dwelling it was established to protect, Betatakin, includes 160 acres of government land and a 244.59-acre section of land used under the terms of an agreement with the Navajo Nation. The Keet Seel section, about eight miles cross-country from Betatakin, contains one of the most important large Pueblo ruins in the Southwest within its 160-acre boundary. Inscription House, the third section and also named for its primary ruin, is forty miles away in Nitsin Canyon. [1]
The Colorado Plateau, the setting for the monument, has an unusual impact on people. It is haunting, for the region contains some of the most threatening and striking landscape in the U.S. Rugged and beautiful, its stark outlines and muted colors reflect the difficulty of human endeavor in this unforgiving region. Encompassing part of each of the four corners states, the plateau contains a number of smaller physiographic provinces. One of these, the Navajo section, contains the Shonto Plateau, which surrounds the canyon systems that make up Navajo National Monument. [2]
The Colorado Plateau has a unique geologic history that defines the character of the land and consequently the nature of human life upon it. To the modern human eye, the land appears barren, without promise. It offers few of the features that people of the modern world covet. Its rugged nature required the application of massive modern technologies to even partially subdue, and that endeavor remains far from complete. To the untrained, the plateau and its components are a mystery. Yet in its landscape is a record of the natural environments that preceded the present.
During the lower to middle Triassic period about 225 million years ago, the portion of the Colorado Plateau that contains Navajo National Monument was a vast basin into which the drainage from surrounding highlands flowed. Within the next twenty million years, the plateau was transformed from a shallow sea into a great inland desert not unlike the modern Sahara Desert. Deposits of wind-blown sand piled into enormous dunes that covered the region, forming a massive sandstone layer more than 300 feet in depth.
At the beginning of the subsequent Jurassic period, a brief wetter era was supplanted by the sudden reappearance of arid, desert-like conditions. Navajo Sandstone, as much as 1,000 feet deep in fossilized cross-bedded sand dunes, was the primary feature of this time. Apparently supporting little biotic life, this 25-million-year era ended with the emergence of a new regime, characterized by extensive tidal flats that periodically covered the landscape.
During that new era, the 125 million years that composed the remainder of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, large faunal life and a complex animal community appeared. Attracted by the abundance of small animals and plants, dinosaurs and other large creatures began to inhabit the swampy fringes of the region. As the end of the Jurassic Period neared, a more temperate climate appeared.
A marine environment followed the temperate one, inundating tidal flats with advancing beaches and shallow seas. The late Mesozoic environments, characterized by Dakota sandstone and Mancos Shale, played a significant role in shaping modern landscapes throughout the region. This era created layers of deposits, one atop the other, many of which are in evidence across the Colorado Plateau.
The geologic structure of the region changed dramatically after the series of deposits. In a geologic instant, region-wide orogenic uplift caused the creation of plateaus and monoclinal folds, which in turn changed as a result of volcanism and erosion. The existing river drainages, home to most prehistoric habitation, were the result, and the general outline of the modern plateau was formed.
The area that became Navajo National Monument represents many of these moments in the geologic past. Its lowest elevations show the Wingate Formation, the 300-foot-deep sandstone formed during the time nearly 200 million years when the region was a great inland desert. The red and purple sandstones of the Moenave and Kayenta formations are also present in the monument, as is the Navajo Sandstone of the beginning of the Jurassic period, more than 190 million years ago. These are the rocks so exquisitely shaped by wind, rain, snow, and sun. [3]
In geologic time in the American Southwest, Navajo National Monument represents a middle period between the much older Grand Canyon environment and the younger Mesa Verde Group. Tsegi Canyon itself has eroded into a series of Triassic-Jurassic rock layers, making it look more open and less vertical than nearby places such as Canyon de Chelly. The principal formations within the monument all have differing degrees of resistance to erosion, which helped create the relatively open look of Tsegi Canyon as well as the rock shelters in which Keet Seel and Betatakin ruins stand. Most of the rock shelters in the monument are at the base of the Navajo sandstone layer, the opposite of such places as Mesa Verde, where alcoves form on the upper reaches of Cliff House Sandstone. [4]
Tsegi Canyon is the primary drainage of the eastern part of the Shonto Plateau. The canyon contains three major branches and countless side branches, all cut deeply into the Navajo sandstone characteristic of the area. Betatakin and Keet Seel are located in two of the arteries of the canyon, while the side canyons contain numerous other prehistoric ruins.

The past ain't through with you.1 Reviews
In the morning I dress slowly so I don't aggravate the new injuries on my body. I do my make-up, a foundation that hides the worst of the bruising and some red eye liner that makes me look angry. Looking at my clock I see it's half nine. Good. School starts at quarter to nine. I
unlock my bedroom door and go downstairs. I put my usual routine into practice and walk past the kitchen door and slam the front door. I don't eat breakfast. Or lunch, but my mother doesn't know that. She thinks I use the ten dollars she gives me every day to buy hot food, but I save it for things like concert tickets and comic books and stuff. If she knew I didn't eat lunch she would make me take a packed lunch. That would cause more teasing, or worse, I could put on weight. And I really didn't need that. I already hate my appearance. I don't need to be any fatter.
I wander the familiar route to school through polluted streets filled with homeless people, prostitutes and the self-righteous well-off people who ignore everyone of lower stature than themselves. At ten I look up to the sight of my school. How fun. At least it's second class; it started fifteen minutes ago, so by the time I get my books and stuff it'll be ten past and there'll only be thirty-five minutes left, then break.
Second class today is music. I realise I forgot Pansy. Shit. When I get to the classroom, Gerard is sitting in the seat beside mine. Mine is the only empty one in the class, and I hurry to take it. The teacher notices my lack of guitar and is over at the desk so quickly I don't get a chance to even greet Gerard.
"Where's your guitar Frank?" He asks, sounding bored and monotonous.
"I forgot her- it. I forgot it in the car." I say. He doesn't seem impressed.
"Well you can explain to me why you weren't in my class yesterday so." He says, still bored.
"I was in the hospital."
"Oh really, you were, were you?" He says, his tone really disbelieving.
"Yes sir, I was. I don't know if you can see through your cheap glasses, but my nose is in fact broken." I stand up and raise my Anthrax tee-shirt. "And these bandages, sir, are there to repair my broken ribs. Is that a good enough explanation?" I say angrily. The majority of the class is staring at me now but I. Don't. Care.
He seems taken aback, not sure whether to pity me, or reprimand me for cheek. He decides four broken ribs, yes four, and a nose are suffering enough.
"O-oh. Okay then. Have your guitar tomorrow if you can play, if not I want a note from your mother."
"Yes Sir." I say, knowing he doesn't appreciate the implications I lay on the word 'sir', but he gives up, exasperated. I sit down.
"Well Gerard, how was your first day at Hell Hole High?" I enquire.
He looks at my face, my bruises, and I can see the guilt in his eyes.
"I'm so sorry man, I should have stayed, I should have helped, if I did-"
I cut him off.
"No. If you stayed then you would be just as pretty looking as me today." I roll my eyes. "1. I told you to go. 2. You're the new kid; you don't need to have those asses on your case. 3. I didn't exactly discourage them, did I now? I should be the one apologising; I left you alone in a new school."
He looks into my eyes after my little outburst, and I can't help but notice how very pretty and hazel they are. He doesn't say anything to me about my rant, though I can tell he wants to.
"I wasn't alone," he says instead, "I sat with my brother, Mikey."
"Mikey Way... sounds like the chocolate bar!" I say smiling. I'm relieved when he smiles too.
"Yeah... don't let him hear you say that though, he knows karate."
"So how old is he?" I ask. "Wait, how old are you? I'm fourteen" It's so easy talking to Gerard that I forgot I know nothing about him other than a name.
"Well, Mikey is fifteen and in our year. I kinda stayed back a year so I'm sixteen. And a bit." He says, looking a little embarrassed.
"They wanted me to stay back. My mom refused to let them make me." I say, and it's true... the year I was eleven, still healing the sadness in me and creating my protective shell, the one that kept me hidden enough from the world that most people didn't pay any attention to me anymore.
The teacher throws us a look that says 'I hope that's coursework you're talking about.'
"So, we do theory on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays we write pieces to perform for practical's at the end of the year and sometimes the teacher gives us an after school time slot and listens to what we've done so far. You said you play guitar?" I say to him loudly, and she looks away.
"Yeah, but I won't be playing it for the practical, I'll be singing." He says. He plays guitar, draws AND sings? He must have been popular at his last school... if he had attended.
"Cool, you ever get lessons?" I ask, curious.
"Erm, no not really... I played Peter Pan in a school play in my last school... and after the play I kinda stopped going," He says, an easy smile on his face, his eyes somewhere a long time ago, presumably remembering green tights and merry men and what not.
"Well it's an achievement of some sort." I say.
"Yeah, everyone wants to put 'I wore tights in front of a hundred people' on their C.V." He jokes. I can't help myself; I smile, even though my gut is telling me to scream.
"So tell me about yourself. This class isn't getting any more interesting and there's still forty minutes left," he says, his eyes hiding something as he throws the smile again. My stomach twists; in apprehension or at his smile I don't know.
"No. You don't want to know about me." I whisper.
"I do! We're friends, right? Friends should know things about each other!" He says cajolingly.
"No man, talk about you."
"I already told you some stuff, your turn!" he whines jokingly, but I can't take it as a joke.
"PISS OFF AND SHUT UP!" I yell. The class is deathly quiet. The teacher seems to have smoke blowing out his ears. I know I have. I get up and grab my bag and leave. I'm outside, on the path to the football field, when I realize someone is following me. I look around to see... Gerard. I slow down for him; I feel bad for blowing up at him.
When he's level with me I start walking again. I lead him to the bleachers. We sit.
"I'm sorry," We both say at the same time.
"No, I'm sorry, I kept at you. It's just, well, my past isn't a happy one. I'm rather ashamed of it..." He sighs.
"Mine isn't either... we both can say that much." I tell him.
"Do you want... do you want to hear about my past?" He whispers, and I can see he's relieved to say those words.
"Okay." I reply.
"My father left when Mikey and I were kids. I don't remember him much. He never paid any child
payment or whatever to my mom. She sometimes found it hard to make ends meet. We lived in one of the rougher neighbourhoods of Jersey. I didn't attend school a lot. I was always picked on and beaten and stuff, and so when I started finding my mom's stash of vodka and stuff, I started helping myself. Not long after I started doing drugs and the bullying got worse. I started lashing out, and turning up to school drunk. I got suspended and in the end expelled, so my mom went bat shit crazy and got me sober, along with Mikey's help, and got me clean and stuff. This dump is meant to be a fresh start, a clean slate."
Some parts of our stories are similar.
"Do you want to hear my story?" I say. His nod is almost imperceptible.
"Well I was always a good enough kid. A bit too loud for the teachers, but never in trouble. I always had loads of friends. When I was ten I came home to find my dad was gone. He had left a note to my mom, and disappeared. He said in the note that he couldn't put up with me anymore, that I was always in hospital from bronchitis or a chest infection, and he was sick of being tied down and stuff. My mom didn't tell me, but I found the note. She started to withdraw from me. She blamed me. Now she doesn't; now she's guilty. We didn't eat together or anything. I used my lunch money to save for Pansy, my guitar, and began to isolate myself from my friends more and more. By the time I was eleven they were all picking on me. I got my plug piercings, my lip ring and nose ring, I even got a tattoo. My mom doesn't know about it. When I got to high school things got worse. I was bullied too. I came home limping and bleeding and shit. Mom never noticed. When she did, I told her I had fallen, or gotten too into my guitar and fell or something. She believed it. When I was twelve my dad showed up. He wanted to start taking me out on the weekends. He...he took me places for a few weeks, but then he started bringing me back to his house. He would be drunk, He lived in a tip. When he was drunk, he used to... do things... to me. Eventually I stood up to him, and told him to fuck off and never come back or I would call the cops and tell my mom. He never called again. The night I last saw him I climbed onto my windowsill and jumped, but I only broke my foot. I told my mom I was sneaking out to a concert. She believed me. Now I'm still bullied. Nothing new. I've learned to be late or early to school to avoid the crowds." I finish, and look in his eyes. I can see sadness, horror, anger, all these emotions and something else. What I can't see is pity, and I'm grateful.
"What's the worst they've ever done? The bullies?" He says quietly, and I don't have to think.
"They stuffed me in a locker and didn't let me out til the morning. Sometimes my dad used to put me in the cupboard and lock it. I don't like small spaces. What about you?"
"Umm one day they set me on fire in science... that was pretty bad... they also wrote a lot of stuff about me everywhere. Everyone called me fag boy cause I'm bi."
"I get that shit too. People are so unaccepting." I say.
Suddenly the bell goes. I really don't want to go to class.
"Want to come to my place? My mom won't notice, she's drunk." I say, and I know it's true. She's always drunk. Or just sober enough to notice my bruises. I'm not sure which I like more.
"Sure" Gerard says, and I don't know why but there's butterflies in my stomach at the prospect of a day with the new, older kid in town.
A/N: So I was bowling today... we broke the alley :') And then I was feeling sad for a while... but then we broke the alley again... anyways, the point of this rambling is it gave me an idea for the next chapter :D We may be seeing some Frerard yet!

I read the other reviews on these rods and decided to use real metal instead of JB Weld. First I welded two soda cans together to get the feel of it and it worked well but I melted a hole into one of the cans while doing it. Warning do not over heat your surface. I then sanded the radiator were it was leaking and applied heat. I used a propane torch which I bought from HF and it did the job really well. I tested the rad to 30 PSI and it held without a leak. That is almost 2 times the recommended max pressure of 18 PSI. So I am certain it will hold. The weld was around the entire circumference of one of the inlet pipes. Worked amazing and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks HF and fellow reviewers. Propane is all you need. Make sure your torch flame comes to a point too.

This is not a revolutional product. It will not make good weld joints in aluminum. If you try welding aluminum, the joint will fail with very little pressure. Using map gas will not work, best to use an ox/ac torch for fast heating. Hard to form a good bead. Best used to fill voids and holes in metal. Has a lower working temperature than aluminum. This product has limited uses. Basically it is a solder. Have used it to fix damaged aluminum threads.

GREAT product ! WORKS as advertised
By Twister
from Dysart PA
About Me Professional
Comments about Low Temperature Aluminum Welding Rods 8 Pc:
These aluminum rods work EXACTLY as advertised!!! HOWEVER, they can ONLY be used for FLAT or HORIZONTAL welding only! The weld is HARD and STRONG when the directions are followed . I used this product to fill some existing holes in my aluminum boat. You'll see how hard the weld is when grinding. "CAUTION", I suggest that ONLY a TIGER PAW or FLAPPER type wheel be used when grinding this product!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I read reviews before I bought them. My car A/C tubing broken with a ~2-3 mm opening. I bought this rods, propane torch, and practiced couple times on alluminum cans. It took me 10 mins to finish the work. The trick part is to heat the tubing well and use the blue flame. It is easy and job well finished. Save me over $100 to get the replacement tubing.

Worked great on 1/8" angle aluminum. When i tried to pull it apart the angle bent & weld didn't break.

What!! This stuff actually works!
By Netsperado
from Long Island, NY
I came across a video on "that" famous online video site showing how this stuff worked so I had to try it for myself. My first attempt welded/brazzed a 1/4" aluminum piece to an aluminum drinking bottle on a 2 inch span with oxy-propane torch I bought at that "depot" "home" owners use, then tried to separate: aluminum bottle ripped AROUND the weld...Awesome! Propane alone takes long to reach temp, but it too gets the job done on small pieces. For thicker pieces, use hotter flame (mapp, oxy-lp, etc). Key factors as others mentioned is to heat material, not the rod and Clean, Clean, Clean surfaces with SS brush. Hope this helps!

Saved my Patio Furniture
By KMG
from Phoenix, AZ
I discovered this product when I was looking for ways to repair some cast aluminum patio furniture that was broken in a strong wind storm. The rods worked very well. I had to practice a bit to figure out how to best approach the job. I ended up having better luck quick-heating the work with an oxy-acetelyne torch, compared to slow-heating with a propane torch. Next time I need to so some aluminum repairs, I'll know where to go. I'll use these again. They saved my patio furniture.

Great product if used correctly
By bearsnob
from Oregon
Forget reading the instructions. They are pretty confusing. Instead go to you____.com (that extremely popular video site that HF won't let me mention) and the alumaloy web site to see how to use this for various applications. As someone else stated, a good propane torch works well for up to about 1/8 inch thick aluminum. I actually used propane for 1/4 inch but it took forever. You need to get the metal up to 700 degrees and the faster you can do that, the faster you can make the repair. You'll also make better repairs because you can keep the temperature steady much easier. The rod itself allows you to gauge the temperature of the aluminum you are working on. You'll see how this is done in the videos. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be amazed how easy this stuff is to work with.
Work's great for lower unit's cavitation

Saturday's graduation at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster was a big step for Jeremy Stroud.
The 33-year-old history major tried his luck at college several years ago, but says he didn't have the focus to succeed. After going from city to city playing in a small rock band, he realized it was time to go back to school and work toward a career.
He was awarded an associate's in science degree during the ceremony at USCL's Bundy Auditorium.
The keynote address from former Gov. Jim Hodges resonated with Stroud.
For the eighth straight week, clouds loomed over Lancaster Motor Speedway, again looking as if it would bring the dreaded word all race fans hate – rain. But Mother Nature relented and for the second straight week, the track got in a full event between brief showers. First up was the young guns. Starting on the front row were a pair of previous winners, Andrew Blackwood and Austin Baker.
Cut back.
That's what Councilman Wayne Kersey suggested the county do when County Administrator Steve Willis gave council the grim news about the 2008-09 county budget.
Kersey said he didn't want to continue to burden the people of Lancaster County. The budget right now is $30.2 million, up 5 percent from last year.
The state rested its case Tuesday afternoon in the death of Lamont Witherspoon, who suffered a fatal gunshot on a Lancaster street while others stood close by in December 2006.
Jerry McGriff, 38, of Lancaster, is on trial for the murder.
The state alleges that McGriff shot Witherspoon after an altercation outside the Taylor Street residence of Barbara Green, who the two men were reportedly romantically involved with.
How can you help black boys reach their potential?
Mychal Wynn, an educator and inspirational speaker, often ponders that question and recently gave Lancaster County residents a wealth of pointers to find solutions.
Wynn was one of two keynote speakers at the second State of the African American Male Conference, held Oct. 30 to Nov. 1 at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster's Bradley Arts and Sciences Building.
Dr. Richard Ramsey, another educator, was the other keynote speaker.
Set goals for black boys
A trio of Indian Land High athletes captured firsts at the Class A Upper State track meet at Landrum. IL also claimed three seconds and a fourth. The Warriors have seven athletes set to compete in the Class A state meet on Saturday at Spring Valley. Wes Scott, IL's ace distance runner, won the 3200-meter run in 11:02 and 1600-meter run in 4:58.8. IL freshman Mariah Williams also placed in two events, finishing first in the 100 meters hurdles in 17.66 and fourth in the high jump with a 4-foot, 10-inch effort.
County soccer teams launch their state title hopes this week as postseason play opens in all classes. The girls begin playoff action Monday, with the boys' teams slated to open play Tuesday. Andrew Jackson and Indian Land will have girls' teams involved in the Class AA playoffs. The IL girls host Greenville Tech in the opening round Monday at 6 p.m.
Lancaster County is reworking a development agreement with a project in Catawba Ridge.
An original development agreement was negotiated in 1999 for Catawba Ridge, which consists of more than 6,000 acres along the Catawba River in western Lancaster County.
Over the years, pieces of the property have been sold off or developed.
Developers, including Dean Harrell, proposed developing 4,400 acres of the property last year. The property is zoned for 10,586 homes.
A piece of Lancaster history will find a new home.
The rebuilding of the Lancaster Plant clock tower, a project that has been in the works for more than four years, will take place at the site of the new three-story Founders Federal Credit Union Corporate Center. The headquarters will be located on a 30-acre parcel of land at Gillsbrook and Plantation roads.
Founders plans to complete the first phase of the headquarters' construction within the next few months.

You shouldn't have worn those basketball shorts if you didn't want me to throw a basketball directly at your head 8000 times
You shouldn't have worn that used Guinness t-shirt if you didn't want me to kidnap you to Ireland and make you brew it for the rest of your life
You shouldn't have worn…
i just want you.
i want your lips,
pressed against mine.
i want your breath,
hot and heavy in my ear.
i want to feel your pulse, ringing in my ears.
in my mind,
your fingertips trace my body,
and i can feel them touching my soul.
your legs lazily intertwine with mine,
on our lazy sunday mornings in bed.
if only i could utter some semblance of words,
to let you know
i am beyond help.
i have fallen for you,
mind and body.
despite trying
with every ounce of my being
not to.
it makes me feel sick,
how much i want you.
when you sit there,
with your gentle smile and your unlit cigarette.
staring at the other girl,
like i wished you would stare at me.
i stir my black coffee,
with a heavy heart.

Picking partners
Truck makers, having embraced the idea that less is more, are narrowing the engine choices for their vehicles. The move started four years ago, and it has accelerated in recent months. It's intended to help manufacturers lower production costs and keep a lid on retail costs while optimizing the performance of selected components.
Volvo took the first steps in this direction in 1997 when it stopped offering Caterpillar power. Late last year, the company signed an exclusive supplier agreement with Cummins and dropped Detroit Diesel. Cummins is also the exclusive outside engine vendor to Mack.
Officials of Paccar, parent company of Kenworth and Peterbilt, in February made Cummins the company's default engine and indicated that ties to Detroit Diesel would be severed by mid-summer. Freightliner buyers can still spec engines from Cat and Cummins, as well as Freightliner's sister companies, Detroit and Mercedes-Benz, but it appears that menu will shrink.
What's driving these alliances? Corporate mergers, emissions standards and market conditions – major issues for the manufacturers, but of little concern to buyers, many of whom have strong loyalties to truck brands and engine brands.
Paccar, parent of Kenworth and Peterbilt, made Cummins the company's default engine, giving Caterpillar a secondary status. Paccar officials have also indicated that ties to Detroit Diesel would be cut this summer.
Dan Meyers, owner of Three-D Transport in West Unity, Ohio, runs 20 Kenworths that pull covered wagons across the Rust Belt. All but two of his trucks are Detroit-powered. But that mix is going to change, partly because of a good working relationship he's established with his Kenworth dealer. "Any piece of equipment is only as good as the service you can get for it," he says. "There tends to be more maintenance issues on trucks than engines. If it were the other way around, I might be inclined to stay with the engine instead of the chassis."
Meyers says other buyers he's talked with want to see how the alliances shake out. Tom Stone is in that category. The owner of Shenandoah Motor Express in Versailles, Ohio, started converting his fleet to Detroit-powered Kenworths three years ago. Now, he must choose between the two products. "I'm not sure what I'll do," he says. "These are new rules, and I have to determine how I want to play the game. It's not business as usual. I'm being forced to make the changes by things I cannot control or even influence."
Stone says he was stunned when he heard that Paccar was shedding Detroit Diesel, but he's "come to realize that this isn't the end of the world. I know that every engine manufacturer makes good products," he says. "Sure, these alliances might take away some of the flexibility we had in the past, but maybe that flexibility has cost us a bunch of money over the years."
Cost is just one problem associated with a wide selection, says Laura Wenzler, a marketing director for Cummins. Manufacturing complexity grows with the number of component suppliers, resulting in generic assemblies and diluted component performance. With a narrower range of choices, she says, engine makers can work much closer with truck makers to "integrate a total solution in the vehicle, and end users benefit from that."
Cummins, having contracts with Mack, Volvo and Paccar, has been the most successful player in striking deals with truck builders. Its long-term supplier agreement with Paccar, which makes it the company's default engine, has caused considerable head-scratching in the industry because Cat accounts for about 65 percent of Kenworth and Peterbilt installations.
Kenworth General Manager Ed Caudill says the Cummins deal allows the companies to "take out some of the costs" of truck production. At the same time, Caterpillar has been a "great partner" and "the marketplace will determine what engines go in our trucks," he says.
Dave Semlow, Cat heavy-truck marketing manager, says his company is in discussions with Paccar, International and Freightliner regarding increased integration. "We fully intend to be a full player with those three," Semlow says.

Every year, kids around the world chirp and buzz and otherwise make delightfully adorable noises about how excited they are to get presents from Santa Claus at Christmas. But the holiday reality of actually meeting the man in red? Well, that's not always a cause for celebration, as these 27 photos of Consumerist readers' kids clearly demonstrate. You try meeting a large stranger with a bunch of white stuff on his face and see how you'd feel. [More]

It's That Time Of Year Again: We Want To See How Much Your Kid Hates The Mall Santa Claus
'Tis the season — to be terrified, angry or just disapproving of mall Santas everywhere if you're a kid sitting on some stranger's lap.

Hey, Readers! We Want Your Best Mall Santa Meltdowns For Christmas This Year
Listen, I know your kid is an absolute angel, a downright sweetie.

That's Reid,* and I know as a matter of fact that he is an adorable child when not sitting on Santa Claus' lap at a Minnesota mall. But get the Big Man involved and plenty of your children (or you, in your diapered years) will turn into red-faced banshees with one goal in mind: "Get. Me. Off. This. Guy's. Lap." [More]
Mall Santas Beware: Combining Beards With Rappelling Probably Won't End Well
While Santa Claus ain't Santa Claus without that flowing white beard, that snowy expanse isn't the best-suited facial hair for rappelling from a mall ceiling. A mall Santa in England found that out the tangled up way when he attempted to lower himself down a rope to cheering crowds, only to get stuck when his beard snagged on the rope. Chimneys are probably way easier to maneuver. Ho ho ho. [More]

I'm using the newest version of Skype, and the only option I see there that's like PTT is "Mute microphone" which is definitely NOT the same thing. I have a small child and a lot of background noise, I definitely don't want to be holding the mute microphone button the whole night. Maybe I'm just missing something in the options, but I've been round and round over this issue before with some idiot who used to be in my guild. She couldn't understand why I had no desire to transmit every bit of audio in my computer room to everyone in the guild. Seriously, if I'm missing an option somewhere, let me know, but "Mute microphone" is the only thing I see there and that's just not adequate. I only want to talk when I push a button *to* talk.

That's a fair middle ground then. It's not perfect, but tolerable. Though with Skype running, on a side note, my latency in WoW jumps by 100ms, even when I don't have the actual program running and just a service in the background. That's not a huge amount, but it was noticeable to me when doing very timing-specific things in game like jousting.

You would think a parade would be enough to put a smile on people's faces. How quickly things changed though when the parade was over Sunday night in Wilmington. That's when people started trying to leave the city's parking garage. What a mess.
The problem became so bad a city council member contacted the city manager to just let people go through without paying to clear up the congestion. That was a good move, but why did it have get to that point?
The city parking folks should have seen this coming. After all, it was a beautiful December evening and the parade is always well attended. It shouldn't have been a surprise that the parking decks would be packed.
I hate to pick on the city twice in as many weeks. But if we're really being asked to "Bring It Downtown" as the slogan suggests … they need to be more visitor friendly for these types of events.
They already had free parking for a couple days downtown last month. They could have done the same for the parade, or charged a reasonable fee as people showed up, not when they are all trying to leave at once.
That's my turn. Now it's your turn. To comment on this segment, or anything else, email me at email@example.com.
Emailed comments from viewers:
Interestingly, I also had the same question; why couldn't the downtown parking garages charge a nominal fee up front... All major events I have attended from concerts and ball games in SoCal to the same in Charlotte all charge a nominal entry fee. Perhaps what we really need are city planners that know how to do their jobs.

Today sucked.
Welcome. This is a collection of my original photography, as well as anything that I find inspiring. I enjoy live photography and almost always shoot in black and white. I feel it more honestly represents the emotion in the photography when you don't have to worry about the colors in it. I follow mostly other photographers whose work I enjoy. //I am Patrick English//
Today sucked.
What's the point of sacrificing everything for your passion, when that passion, that you so desperately keep seeking is slowly killing you. When what makes you feel alive is the exact thing that keeps you from living. When is enough, actually, without you wanting it too be, enough.
I don't have that answer.
I'm not negative, I'm just real.
It's the reality that's negative.
For the first time, in a long time…
I'm truly lost.

Unfortunately, B2B brands were missing from CNBC's list of examples. Are professional services firms going to catch up?
We decided to take a look at how B2B firms use Twitter, by picking a small sample group and conducting a quick comparison online. Do they tweet as a corporate brand or as individual people representing the corporate brand? Do they have separate Twitter accounts for their thought leadership? Do they have dedicated Twitter accounts for different industry groups or for recruitment? Here are the results (see chart).
We predict that once Twitter has been accepted as 'mainstream' channel, you will see:
There is lots of chatter online about how B2B companies can use Twitter. Here are some sites that provide incisive and helpful guides for corporate Twitter beginners.
It seems tweeting is no longer an option for professional services firms.

If you attended Interop Las Vegas and didn't get a chance to see all of the conference sessions you intended to, we just launched a new site that lets you view them. The site, video.interop.com, presents the speaker's Powerpoint as they appeared in the breakout sessions, accompanied by audio from the speaker(s).
The site is currently only available to people who had a conference pass (sorry expo pass holders!) at Interop Las Vegas. The same login and password you were provided to access the speaker presentations will get you into the Interop Video site. (That info was distributed to conference pass holders in their tote bag and shown on slides inside conference rooms.)
We plan to continue the capture of conference sessions at future US-based Interop events — next up is Interop New York in November. In fact, our tentative plan for Interop New York is to capture video of the speakers as well, and display the speaker using a picture-in-picture format.
If you're curious what the format of synchronized Powerpoint and audio looks like, here's a sample session from Interop Las Vegas, titled "The Hows and Whys of Intrusion Detection Event Correlation", delivered by Gene Schultz, CTO, Emagined Security.
We'd love to get feedback about this new format – contact me at email@example.com if you have any ideas, constructive critiques, etc.

The main difference is that a producer produces their music in a studio. Or sometimes, in Sonny's case, on his macbook in a tour bus. Whereas a DJ takes tracks and songs that have already been created and does mixes and mashups with them.
A DJ mixes music together. They might use effects, looping and other techniques to change the sound and structure of the track but they aren't actually creating music, they're just using tracks that already exist.
A producer makes their own, original works using some kind of digital audio program, such as Ableton, GarageBand, Reason, etc. They also remix other producer's tracks when provided with remix stems, but this differs to DJing because they'll use their own original, self-made sounds in the remix.
A DJ/Producer is just someone who produces and also dabbles in DJing, this isn't some kind of strange musical hybrid, they just do both things separately.
Hope this clears it up (^-^)
From his tiny stature to his thick rimmed-glasses and half-shaven head, Sonny's appearance is somewhat iconic. Not only that, but his music, his voice, even his clothes [those pants with 96 on the ass] are all unmistakable. That's one thing I really admire about Sonny's music. You can listen to one of his tracks having never heard it before, not knowing who it's by and immediately think to yourself "Oh, this is a Skrillex choon."
When I hit 3k followers I think I want to do a giveaway, just as a thank you to all you guys for supporting the blog! I'm only at 2,366 followers right now so I have plenty of time to gather stuff for it, but so far I was thinking of including:
- Sonny's Autograph
- Sonny drawn by me
- A custom Skrillex t-shirt [with his face on it, not his logo]
- A physical CD of one of his EPs
- Some Skrillex kandi
- A Skrillex dog tag
- A magazine with a spread on Sonny [not sure which one yet]
- CANDY! [Edible, not bracelets]
- A letter written for the winner from me, just rambling and talking bullshit, maybe with drawings in it, maybe with the musings of a man going insane from lack of sleep, maybe just pages and pages of all the reasons Sonny's the foking best.
- The original artwork of "Things I Wish I Could Do With Sonny Moore [Part 1]"
- A 'littleskrillexting' dedicated to the winner, or maybe thought up/designed by the winner with a link back to their blog.
Obviously these are just a couple of ideas and not all of them would make the final cut, maybe none of them will, but I just want feedback from you guys, would any of you be interested in any of this stuff?
I'm pretty sure when Sonny came off with this phrase in the middle of one of his Grammy acceptance speeches, everyone in the fandom swooned. Bless his little heart. ♥
A quote taken from Rolling Stone's recent article Skrillex: Eight Wild Nights and Busy Days With the Superstar, in which he says "I won't lie: That's why I don't like to be in the spotlight and in the press. I don't like to see myself." I think it's so sad that Sonny can't recognize his own beauty.
Sonny's cheekbones, jaw and chin are beautiful in my opinion. Also, sorry for the awkward text-box placement, but I couldn't bear to cover that fantastic t-shirt!
I've actually cheered up so much tonight, in comparison with the past couple weeks its the happiest I've been, and it's because of my followers doing things like this! ;~; ♥
So today I bought a copy of Kerrang! magazine, something I haven't done in years, simply because it had an article about Sonny inside. The front cover had that overused press shot squeezed in the side lines, boasting "EXCLUSIVE!" [trust me, this piece is about as exclusive as a Google search] "Sonny Moore's metal past revealed." Metal? Already I was skeptical and let me tell you, if the intent of this flawed and error ridden article was to piss off any and all Skrillex fans who read it, it did not disappoint!
It was cripplingly obvious from the minute I opened the two-page spread that Sonny had absolutely no involvement in the piece whatsoever. The Kerrang! archives have clearly been delved into, to bring us the above picture of Sonny taken for a K! photo shoot in a 2006 issue, [trust me, I had the poster on the wall of my teenage bedroom,] and the title "The Secret Life of Skrillex" suggests this passage holds information about Sonny not widely known, which is pure bullshit. You could learn more 'secrets' from his Wikipedia page!
Before we even touch on the main text, a short blurb refers to him as a "superstar DJ" which is just wrong. Sonny is a producer, not a DJ. Next we have him being called a "dubstep superstar" which reinforces the incorrect labels Sonny tries so hard to distance himself from.
Furthermore, the article suggests that EDM was virtually non-existent until Skrillex came along and 'blew it sky-high', and I quote "He is the biggest thing to happen to dance in years", "he updated the sound of dubstep (…) making it a commercial and accessible prospect."
The few citations used throughout the article are either massively outdated, [I mean they're using quotations from a Kerrang! interview in 2006, six fucking years ago!] Or taken from a legit interview for another magazine [i.e. his recent interview with Q magazine, which is actually a well-informed and awesome read!]
It's a well known fact that Sonny doesn't like talking about his past, keeping uncharacteristically tight-lipped when the subject of From First To Last [the band he fronted before he went solo] is raised, and the article even has the sheer cheek to touch on Sonny's family life and adoption. It reports that "before he became a dubstep superstar [ugh!], Skrillex was Sonny Moore," I'm sorry, but does he now cease to be Sonny Moore? Has he evolved, much like a Pokémon, from Sonny to Skrillex? An irrevocable change, shedding his name and becoming a new entity altogether? Um, I don't think so…
We are then told that he "began to explore electronic music" in 2008 after leaving the band, which is yet again a misinformed 'fact', as Sonny has said himself in numerous interviews that he has always dabbled in EDM, doing so throughout his entire career with FFTL.
The final paragraph ends with "Anyone who can go from cultish, screamo punk, to taking underground dubstep to mainstream America while still only sporting half a haircut clearly has the world at his feet." What relevance his haircut bears to his success is a mystery to me, but I digress. It would appear that the person responsible for throwing this page of words together is less qualified to report on Sonny than my dog, but they got one thing right, he sure does have the world at his feet!
Colin's rating: >★ out of ★★★★★
However, if someone held a gun to my head and forced me to choose a single, redeeming factor about it, I'd have to go for the little inset separate from the rest of the text, quoting Atreyu after their band had a "blaze of arguments" with From First to Last one year at Warped Tour, saying FFTL are "in it for the money", with Atreyu singer Alex Varkatzas adding, "Fuck From First to Last, except Sonny." That made me giggle, at least.
200 posts and still going strong. Thanks to everyone who's ever followed this blog and liked or reblogged an image. It's so appreciated. If it weren't for you guys, this blog wouldn't exist.
Stay Skrilliant friends ♥
Um. No. Is it not incredibly obvious that he has half a head of hair? o_o
I don't get how you could think the other side is shaved too…hmm.

Electric vehicles aren't just limited to cars anymore; it seems that there's also a growing trend amongst motorcycle makers to introduce a more eco-friendly alternative to the petrol-powered bikes we've come to know in the past.
The Husqvarna Concept E-Go is one such bike. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show by BMW , the Concept E-go is being touted as the Husqvarna's approach to today's electric motorcycling world while also serving as an attractive option for new riders looking to tap into the spirit of motorcycle-riding.
The bike only weighs 80 kg (176 lbs) while also carrying a number of styling cues from some of Husqvarna's latest models, including the side panels, features that are clearly distinguishable as a Husqvarna. In addition, the bike's highly personal design also boasts of a "single-sided double leg fork" with 35 mm of inner tube and the aluminum single side swing arm. The concept bike's battery support is also made out of aluminum whereas the bike's overall frame and oval piping is cast from steel.
There has been no information yet on the specs that come with the single-seater bike, but according to Husqvarna, the bike will offer you an "explosive mix of road, off-road and supermotard experiences" that combines fun, dynamism and an ecologically-friendly philosophy combined for the first time in an electric powered two-wheeler.

Lock couchbase to a particular IP
When installing couchbase, it appears to start all its daemon processes on all IP addresses / ethernet ports.
Is there a way to restrict couchbase and all related forked processes to only startup on a particular IP address?
I want to install on a VPS with 2 ethernet cards (one is public and one is private). I only want couchbase to expose itself on the private side of the network.
I know I can manipulate the firewall with Iptables, and will if it comes to that. I was hoping for something a bit easier however.
On a related note, when working at home with a computer that has neither a DNS entry or a static IP, I noticed that couchbase can't connect properly if the DHCP license expires and I get a new IP. Since this is a windows machine, I change the IPADDR.OUT file in couchbase/server/bin and then run "service_reregister.bat". But, when I do that I lose all the data in the bucket (it goes back to an uninitialized state). Is this the proper way to do this?
At the moment, it always listens on all interfaces. You can control which interface is used with routing and you know that you can restrict it with firewalls. There is no simple way to change which IP it listens on.
On the related question, I think you can actually move the data to a new directory when you change the IP (make sure the service is offline when you do) and you'll keep your data. It may be better to configure some persistent interface (not on DHCP) that may not be the primary one-- just another loopback, and run it on that? For instance, you could put 127.0.0.1 in where the service binds.

ARUBA (WLBT) - DNA test results should be available soon on the jawbone found on an Aruban beach, which could be that of Natalee Holloway.
Beth Holloway has been hoping for information on what happened to her daughter Natalee Holloway.
Five years ago, Holloway vanished while on a trip to Aruba. Last week a tourist found a jaw bone with a tooth in it. Forensic experts will compare it to Holloway's dental records to see if it is in fact hers. The final stage would be to gather DNA from the skeletal remain.
"Then the tooth will be pulverized, there is some pulp within the tooth that will yield DNA material," said Forensic Pathologist, Cyril Wecht.
Results usually take a few days and they could determine what happened to Natalee.
Authorities say Joran Van Der Sloot was the last person to see Holloway alive. He's currently in jail in Peru for allegedly murdering a 21-year old Peruvian woman in May.
