Pennsylvania Governor Corbett, PEMA Urge Residents to Prepare for Hurricane Sandy
HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Governor Tom Corbett tonight gave an update on the state's ongoing preparations in anticipation of Hurricane Sandy and urged residents across Pennsylvania to brace themselves and prepare for the impact of the storm.
"This is not a typical storm and it could very well be historic in scope and in magnitude because of the widespread power outages, flooding and the potential for major wind damage," Corbett said during a media briefing at the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Harrisburg. "This storm is moving slowly and bringing high volumes of rain; essentially this is a hurricane inside of a nor'easter.
"I, along with my team at PEMA, have been in constant contact with county emergency officials and we've put nearly 1,600 Pennsylvania National Guard troops on standby," Corbett said. "I've also sent a letter to the president requesting a presidential disaster declaration, which would provide federal funding so that the state and municipalities can take life-saving measures.
"We are prepared and we are ready to assist wherever we are needed," Corbett said. "We are anticipating the needs of each of our counties and we urge everyone to do everything they can to be prepared."
The governor also urged citizens to stay inside once the storm hits. "Obviously, once you're in a safe place, the best thing to do is stay there and keep off the roads. Keep away from low-lying areas and heed advice from your local authorities," Corbett said.
People whose homes are in flood-prone areas should be prepared to evacuate if necessary.
If residents are told to leave their homes, they are free to travel to the destination of their choice, but should follow the directions of local law enforcement to ensure the safe and steady flow of traffic.
Anyone who needs to go to a shelter can find out where to go by contacting their municipal emergency management office. To find contact information for your township, borough or city, look in the government section (Blue Pages) of your local telephone directory or search online.
Specific information about any major state road closures is available by calling 511 or by www.511pa.com.
In addition to driving cautiously, motorists should also expect delays and allow extra time in their travel schedules.
When it's raining or when roads are wet, motorists should also turn on their headlights and increase the following distance between vehicles. Pennsylvania law dictates that headlights must be turned on any time a vehicle's wipers are on.
Information such as checklists for emergency kits and templates for emergency plans, as well as other information and volunteer opportunities, is available at www.ReadyPA.org or by calling 1-888-9-READYPA (1-888-973-2397).

Easy but inspires Christmas tree decorating ideas
There are many Christmas decorations filling the mall shelves today that come in a wide array of prices, colors, sizes, styles, and brands. But we need something different, something unique with some homemade, elegant or quirky Christmas ideas that you won't find in the shops. As we know that the Christmas Tree is the central point of christmas decorations, some people love traditional Christmas decorating, but the others maybe inspired to find some new fresh ideas to mix things up a bit this year. This is an easy one, why not try to Put your Christmas tree in a new room, such as master bedroom, powder room, or dining room. Try a non-traditional shape for your trees, for the example a bonzai style trimmed trees would make an interesting statement even in a small space. Large topper and oversized ornaments are the secrets to designer Christmas trees, so you can try using ornaments and ribbons in shades of gold, silver and white or a combination of copper, tan and silver to add style and sophistication to your Christmas tree. It is easy right…? so, let's try it in this year celebrations…!

For more than 10 years, the City of Ghent has been realising the Ghent Light Plan at an investment rhythm of 500.000€/year. The rational consumption of energy is an essential part in the realisation of the plan.
The main objective is twofold: achieving a considerable environmental profit and realising a substantial savings on the energy bill. Since 1999, the City of Ghent has performed several REG-actions as regards public lighting. The result was a cumulated savings of over 18.700.000 KWh. In real terms, this means a savings of 11% on the total consumption compared to the reference year 1999. The City of Ghent has decided to work towards a common goal: as from 2010, an additional REG-action will be performed over a period of 4 years. By 2013 this should yield an additional savings of 20%, resulting in a premature realisation of the REG-objectives as regards public lighting. In this respect the Light Plan is the guiding principle.
During the First edition of the Ghent Light Festival an increase in the energy consumption was barely noticeable. Several measures contributed to this achievement. In this respect other lighting sources (street lighting, catering businesses, publicity) were turned out in consultation with the competent services. Furthermore the organisation of the illuminated works of art used as much as possible projectors with low-energy LED-lamps.
This year, we want to continue on the same line. In this respect, the huge work of art of De Cagna at the Belfortstraat uses only 20kWh for its 55 000 LED-lights and 'Les oiseaux de mr. Maeterlinck' is considered to be an energy-neutral installation.
During the second edition we support the project 'Solar zonder grenzen' (Solar without boundaries). This organisation wants to help developing countries with the installation of solar panels for community purposes such as hospitals, schools, orphanages, water supplies, etc in villages where there are hardly any – or only a very poor amount of- electric facilities.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
"Encounters are being designed so that no one single class is necessary, although the 25-man Razuvious fight currently requires at least one priest, preferably two or three, with at least one specced shadow. "
While I understand your point there are other ways to complete this fight without any priests at all. Afew raid lockouts ago I was in a 25 man that lost both of our priests right before this particular fight. We completed the fight by having our 4 hunters aggro kite Razuvious with Distracting Shot while a DK with 2 assigned healers tanked the adds. Afew priests is by far the easiest way of doing this fight, however, after 3 wipes I have to admit, the non-sequiter way in which we completed this particular right ranks ups as one of my fonder memories of 25 man nax... and all this from a pug!

This home is amazing. Best trip ever!
This is a beautiful home. Best family trip we have ever had! thank you.
This home was exactly what we wanted! Its quiet and private setting was perfect for our family!! The house is walking distance from the beach. The owner was very helpful and friendly throughout the whole process before and during our stay.We look forward to coming back in the future!!
The house was exactly as listed!
The owner worked to allow us in the house early as soon as he knew of our arrival time....and even though another guest had just vacated. The house was charming, clean, and just as described. The neighborhood was quite but a short walk from all the action. To have an entire house with front/back yard and kitchen for the average price of a hotel was wonderful. I will definitely recommend in the future.

The King of Fighters i Impressions… wait, what?
Maybe it was only my radar that this curveball flew under but either way the late SNK Playmore has graced us with an unexpected but totally appreciated version of its famed fighting franchise in The King of Fighters i. That's i for iPhone and it's up on the App Store today.
The fact that it's for iOS isn't the only odd thing about this KOFXIII port- it includes Billy Kane, who will be a console exclusive character come the game's October release. Currently, he isn't in the arcade version or anywhere else for that matter. The game is also strangely-fully-featured. It has wireless multiplayer, unlockable galleries and social network integration all for less than $10. Oh and it beat Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition to the punch with on-screen mini challenges (perform 3 3-hit combos, etc.). Granted they were in the arcade version of The King of Fighters XIII first, but who here has actually had a chance to play that?
As for the game itself, it's better than Street Fighter IV Volt, its only real iOS competition. I'm an SF4-devout so I think that says it all. The controls are better, the graphics are better and the framerate is smoother. This is the only iPhone fighter you need to play. If I had to find something odd about it it would be that Iori Yagami isn't part of the game's 14-character lineup. But if I had to guess, I'd say that he, along with Vice and Mature, and Kyo, Robert and Takuma will likely be the 6 free DLC characters promised us between now and October.
I'm scratching my head as to why The King of Fighters i wasn't better publicised. Sure a game so adept deserved more press pre-release. Or, if treated solely as a marketing experiment, why wasn't it released closer to the console release of KOFXIII later this year? I'm not complaining, however. If nothing else, this will be most folks' foray into the world of KOFXIII, failing a nearby arcade with it or less reputable means. And before you mention that The King of Fighters XII has been widely available for a couple of years already, don't go there. You don't want to make me cry over how that game turned out all over again, do you?
To close, go and get The King of Fighters i- I couldn't recommend it more.
The Garbage on T3.com
I have finally had enough of T3. I'm used to tech blogs having a playful relationship with the news they report. The difference is that T3 states everything with an absolute journalistic fervour and yet still manages to publish sensationalist garbage like their current string of articles stating 'iPad 2 SD Slot confirmed' – most recently in their News@8PM. The scoop is that the iPad 2 has an SD card slot, something that is not only decidedly un-Apple, but would also disrupt the careful price tiering ecosystem of iPad models. Further, this whole rumour is being built on cases at CES from 3rd parties that, by T3's own admission, are most likely based on those vendors' best guesses as to what the next gen tablet does or doesn't have. I know that Apple rumours are red hot for page views and the like, but come on.
This isn't the only instance where T3 has outrightly stated things that are controversial, speculative or just plain rumours and presented them as fact in a headline and they aren't the only ones guilty of doing so. This instance is really just the final straw. Far be it for me to 'un-subscribe' to an internet source of news but the outrageous writing at a place that purports to be more authoritative than most has pissed me off one too many times. And heaven knows there a million other feeds to take its place.
Google, Facebook & Apple; Tech Giant News Roundup
The last 48 or so hours in the tech world have been pretty interesting- 3 of the biggest companies have had pretty significant public showings of new products and services. While I pre-emptively wrote about Facebook's mail announcements yesterday, here's what Google and Apple had to reveal as well;
Facebook – A Modern Mail Service
So Facebook didn't quite announce a rival to Gmail and Hotmail as everyone predicted… or did they? You can now still register for a '@facebook.com' address once your account receives an opt-in invitation, but this new service will focus on convergence of SMS, Email, IM and other current messaging platforms rather than going head to head with existing providers. The existing concerns remain about Facebook, privacy and email, but guess we know what FB poached that Google Wave dev for now, huh?
Google – The Nexus S, Gingerbread, NFC and Chrome OS
Although Facebook's revelations largely overshadowed what was going on at the Web 2.0 summit, Google's CEO had a few almost-groundbreaking things to share with the community. Firstly, he demonstrated Android 2.3 AKA Gingerbread on an unannounced phone many summise to be the elusive 'Nexus S' from Samsung. We can't confirm either way since branding was concealed although a special hardware component was explicitly mentioned – a Near Field Communication (NFC) chip. This lead in to what will no doubt be a key feature of the new OS, set to release in the next few weeks, as it enables 'bump-to-pay' transactions. Seems like this will be another area where Google and Apple are racing to get a cutting edge technology into consumers' hands first.
Chrome OS, that bastard topic largely relegated to the background by Google's more prominent Android, was also given a clear purpose by an offhand comment by Eric Schmidt- it is for low cost keyboard devices. Which rules phones and tablets out.
Apple – iTunes News…?
Apple threw its hat in the ring this week as well teasing an unforgettable iTunes-related reveal on Tuesday. However this hype sizzled out as soon as it was revealed that the Beatles catalogue would be coming to the popular e-store. The Beatles? Who cares. Everyone who gives a damn will have ripped their CDs, bought their audacious USB collection or pirated the stuff by now.
Luckily this was dispelled with the also predicted and highly anticipated iTunes Cloud, Streaming, iTunes Pass, 90sec previews and a redesigned client.
The war for the internet, ad revenue, market share, hearts and minds is very much underway and at this very exciting time in history I dare not call a winner. Especially since likelihood suggests that even if there is one, there won't be for long. Microsoft is notably absent from this week's festivities- no doubt working on getting all those missing features into Windows Phone 7.
No Android Retina Display? Blame Google.
Android-equipped phones are trickling out all the time. I've had my eye on the Droid X and the Desire HD for some time too, desperately wanting to jump from the iOS camp as I am. One thing that I've noticed and is constantly disappointing is the resolution. Why does the Desire HD, with its glorious 4.3″ screen still only have a 800×480 res? Turns out that's Google's fault.
Only in reading the hype surrounding the pending release of Gingerbread / 2.3 did I notice that Android caps its resolution at WVGA (800×480). Wtf Google? Why in the world would anyone want to impose a software resolution cap on an 'open source' OS? I'm taking a purely topline, superficial look at this. It must make technical or business sense to someone but as I see it this bizarre, deliberate choice is having two important consequences;
1) There is nothing with Android to answer iPhone 4's 'Retina Display'. The Desire HD is a good phone but there's nothing HD about it. In fact, it has the exact same number of pixels as the original Desire, the Droid X and just about any other semi-recent Android phone. That this was mandated by software available is sad enough. However the greater tragedy, I think, is that the cocky PR bastards at Apple get to keep parading around their incremental screen improvement, beauiful as it may be, as the best thing since 256 colours.
2) Android needs a new version for tablets. 3.0, whatever it's called, is billed as the 'tablet version'. Why is this necessary? Vendors are steering clear of Google's OS for their tablet offerings in the short term since it's just not up to snuff. Of course this is in part due to the less-than-great multitouch implementation currently built in, but it also has to do with the res. WVGA tablets just don't work- Telstra T-Tab or Optus My Tab anyone? I laugh knowing that in those cases resolution is the least of the abismal devices' problems but they still serve to illustrate the point.
All I can say is I hope Gingerbread comes out this week and I hope it removes this cap. It's an inexcusable oversight – Google, get it fixed. It's still a shame that even if we get so lucky we will have to wait for the next generation of 'droids before we get something rivalling Apple's overhyped, pretentiously named but ultimately breathtaking iPhone 4 screen. A tremendous shame, actually.

FRIDAY, Sept. 24 (HealthDay News) -- Lee Smith of Marietta, Ga.,
set himself up with an unusual 50th birthday gift: He scheduled a
colonoscopy for a couple of days later.
One of his uncles had died of colon cancer, and his father had
died of leukemia when Smith was just 3 years old. "I always had it
in my mind that, when I turned 50, I would do this because of my
family history," he said.
While he was recovering after the procedure, the doctor came in
with some shocking news.
"They found around 75 precancerous polyps, which is an enormous number," Smith, now 51, said. "I was certainly surprised. It was a scary thing. What happened to my father was a lot of the emotional part of this. I grew up without a father, and so the last thing I wanted to do was have my kids grow up without a father."
Doctors usually can remove polyps found during a colonoscopy,
making it one of the best cancer-prevention techniques around. But
they couldn't remove that many, Smith recounted. He said that he
and his doctor began talking that very day about major surgery to
remove part of his colon.
A few weeks later, Smith returned for the surgery. "The polyps
were not all over my colon, but were concentrated in certain
areas," he said. "They cut out two-thirds of my colon, and then
reconnected the two ends."
The surgery went fine, he said, but recuperating took a lot of
time, starting with an eight-day hospital stay after the surgery.
"Basically they shut your system down, and then they have to
restart it again," he said. "They have to be convinced that the
system is all working again before they will let you go home."
He then spent several months at home fully healing from the
surgery. "I've got a 12-inch scar on my belly where they opened me
up," he said. "It's very painful, even with the drugs, because of
the place of the incision."
But, he added with a chuckle, "it only hurts when you move."
Radiation and chemotherapy were not part of his treatment, Smith
said, because the polyps were detected so early. And he remains
cancer free.
"I've had one colonoscopy since then," he said. "I had one or two polyps, and they took them out, and everything's fine."
Smith said he considers his colonoscopy and surgery "a case
study in preventive medicine."
"If I hadn't done it, I wouldn't be here," he said. "I'm healthy. I'm exercising. The good news in all of this is we caught it early and I'll get to see my kids grow up, which I definitely would not have been able to do otherwise," Lee added.
"I really do consider myself blessed because we found this thing early and cut it out," he said.

Metta World Peace has a laundry list of teams he wants to play for as he enters the NBA free agency market, including the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs and the Indiana Pacers.
In other words, he wants to play for a contender now that his time with the Los Angeles Lakers is up.
The report comes from Sam Amick of USA TODAY:
There's an obvious message being sent here by the 33-year-old who has logged 14 seasons: he has no interest in being picked up by a rebuilding team on waivers. Should the Lakers amnesty World Peace as the Orange County Register has reported they likely will, he would have to clear waivers first in order to control his own destination.
Of course at this point in his career World Peace wants another shot at a ring. He was unlikely to receive that with the Lakers anyway now that Dwight Howard is gone.
It's hard to tell which of the above teams, if any, would want the controversial figure. Much of the discussion of a potential acquisition would come down to how much he wants to get paid and if he is comfortable with coming off the bench.
Stay tuned.

Striped maple, sometimes called moosewood or moose maple,
is a small tree or large shrub identified by its conspicuous
vertical white stripes on greenish-brown bark. It is commonly
found growing as an understory tree in mixed hardwoods. This
very slow growing maple may live to be 100 and is probably
most important as a browse plant for wildlife, although the
tree is sometimes planted as an ornamental in heavily shaded
Species Description: Silvics of North American Hardwoods
Virginia Tech Dendrology Fact Sheet for Striped Maple
University of Connecticut Plant Database
Striped maple is a small tree, rarely growing more than 45
feet tall. It has a short, forked trunk with a few arching
branches which tends to form a broad, uneven crown which is
flat-topped, to rounded. When trees are young, the bark is
the most easily identified characteristic, because of its
green bark with distinct white stripes.
Leaves are arranged oppositely along the twigs, and leaves
have three lobes and small serrations along the leaf margin.
Leaves are often large, sometimes reaching 6 incheslong
and nearly as wide. The leaves are yellow-green above, a paler
green below, and turn pale yellow in autumn.
Striped maple flowers in May or June, and has clusters of
bright yellow, bell-shaped drooping flowers. Fruit is a winged
samara, ripening in autumn.
Striped maple is widely distributed throughout the northeast
US and adjacent Canada. It extends from Nova Scotia and the
Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, west to southern Ontario, Michigan
and parts on Minnesota; south to Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, and down the Appalachian Mountains to northern Georgia.
Striped maple is generally a common, but minor component of
the understory in a hardwood forests, as well as with spruce-fir
and mixed wood forest types. It is tolerant of shade, but
responds well to increased sunlight, and can out-compete other
more desirable species following cutting of overstory trees.
Striped maple is not considered a commercial species for lumber
and wood products, largely due to its small size. The tree
is, however, an important wildlife food source. The leaves,
buds and twigs and bark are eaten by a number of species,
from rabbits to moose.

Categories > Celebrities > My Chemical Romance > You Stole My Heart Gerard Way
Long Time, No See3 Reviews
Five years later, Sara is engaged, but Gerard comes back with a bang.
I had just finished packing up my stuff when Leah approached me. "Hey Sara. Congratulations on the engagement!"
"Thanks." I studied the ring that Tim had placed on my finger the previous night on my birthday. It was a simple band with three diamonds, but it was so elegant. I knew it was the right decision after the ring was slipped onto my finger. Being with Tim felt so right, and I couldn't think of anything more perfect in the entire world.
I finished gathering my things and went to the dressing rooms to find Tim. I knocked lightly on his door, and he opened it. He beamed at me and pulled me into the room, locking the door behind me. "Hello beautiful." He started kissing my neck and lips. He ran his hand up the back of my shirt. "Last night was amazing," he finally said after letting me go.
"It was," I said in a seductive tone.
"Oh hey. You remember Gerard Way?"
Thank the world that my back was turned when he said that because my face dropped like a ton of bricks."Of course I do. We were best friends for 18 years."
"What happened to you guys?"
"Oh you know, people move and change.
"Yeah. Well him and his band are coming to the station next week. I get to interveiw them with Leah. It's weird, me interveiwing an old school mate."
But I hadn't heard what he was saying after "I get to interveiw them." My heart nearly stopped. Why now? After everything in my life was finally going to way I wanted it to, he had to come back into it.
"Sara? Is something wrong?"
"Oh, no. Just thinking. That will be pretty cool."
"Let's get going." We walked out back of the station to the parking lot and we got into the car. Our car. And drove to our home. The summer Tim and I moved to Toronto, he stayed at my apartment while looking for his own. It was only a one bedroom place, so he slept on a mattress on the floor. But eventually he stopped looking for his own place, and we've been living together ever since.
Once in the apartment, I went to change out of my work clothes. Tim walked in, and I tried to shoo him out, but he just smiled. "I've seen it all before. In fact, I'm the only one who's ever seen it all." That wasn't the truth, be that's what I lead him to believe. I couldn't tell him Gerard was my first. How could I after 5 years of lying?
I pulled on a t-shirt and pants and went to the kitchen. I was looking through the fridge, wondering what to make when the phone rang. Tim had gotten in the shower, so I got it.
"Hello?" There was silence on the other end. "Hello, is anyone there?" Still no answer. I was about to hang up when I heard a familiar voice say, "Sara?" I took a seat on the counter.
"Gerard?" I whispered.
"Yes. It's me." I was speechless. What was I supposed to say? I hadn't talked to him in 5 years. "How are you?" he asked after a moment.
"I'm fine. Why are you calling me? And how did you get my number?"
"I wanted to know how you've been. I got your number from your mom. She was surprised to know that we haven't talked since graduation."
My mom had constantly asked me about Gerard, and I always found a way to get around the questions. Finally, she just stopped asking.
"Listen," Gerard said interupting my thoughts. "I'm coming to Toronto next week and I want to see you. Talk." I heard the shower turn off. Tim would be getting out any minute.
"I don't know if that's a good idea."
"Why not? We were best friends for 18 years. Please, I just want to talk."
"Fine. Whatever."
"Okay. How about I come to your place on Saturday."
"Definetely not. Let's just meet at the Starbucks on 54th and Queens?"
"Okay. One o'clock good?"
"Yeah. Fine." I hung up the phone just as Tim walked out of the bathroom.
"Who was that?"
"Leah. She wanted to congratulate us on our engagement." Tim walked over to me and made sure his towel was secure before picking me up and carrying me into the bedroom.
I sat at a corner table jiggiling my leg, waiting nervously for Gerard to show up. He was already 20 minutes late, and I was about ready to get up and leave. The door opened for what seemed like the hundredth time, and I turned to look. There he was, looking around. He looked more perfect than ever. His black hair was carelessly combed, and his eyes glowing. And he had lost a considerable amount of weight. I turned away as he looked in my direction, pretending as if I hadn't seen him. A moment later I felt him standing beside my table. "Sara?"
I turned around, slowly stood up and put on my fake smile that I had become so good at. "Gerard. Hi." I stuck my hand out for him to shake, and he looked taken aback, but he shook it anyway. I sat down, and he took the seat across from me. I could see people behind him pointing and whispering to eachother, but I ignored them.
We sat down at the table and Gerards eyes flicked over me, studying every inch of my face, and I was getting uncomfortable, so I spoke. "So how is everything Gerard? It sounds like you've done really well. Mikey, Ray and Frank too.
"Yeah. It's alright. I've wanted this for so long. And I can't believe it's happened. But I still feel as if there's something missing."
"So how is everyone else?" I asked, knowing at what he was trying to get at. But I didn't want to know.
"They're all good. Listen Sara, when you left-"
"Gerard, I'm here to talk about now. Not the past okay?" Gerard went to reach for my hand, but stopped dead when he noticed the engagment ring.
"Are you-?"
"Yes Gerard, I am engaged, and deeply in love with the man of my dreams. And nothing will change that."
"But, I thought you loved me."
I rolled my eyes and sat back in my chair. "I did Gerard. I did."
"But I loved you too. You knew that."
"Gerard, you told me that two nights before I left. What was I supposed to do? Forget about the plans I had for my life?" I was raising my voice, and more people were now looking at us.
"No. I told you before that. But you shouldn't have left with Tim."
"Gerard, I couldn't wait around for you forever!"
"You knew how I felt! And you could have chosen me. You didn't have to leave with him."
"Yes I did. We made plans."
"Yeah, plans that you couldn't even tell your best friend about!"
"I'm sorry Gerard. If you had told me how you felt earlier, we could have had a future together. But now my futures with Tim." But we both knew he had told me a lot earlier.
"You mean you're engaged to Tim?"he asked in disbelief.
"Of course I am."
"I can't believe you. I profess my love to you, we have sex, and then you leave with someone else." He practicly yelled. "Now you're engaged. God damnit Sara, I lived for you. I still do!"
Tears were rolling down my cheeks, but I continued to argue. "Gerard, you had you're chance okay. 5 years ago, you could have told me this. It's too late now."
Just then one of the workers came over to us. "Excuse me," she said timidly. "But you're going to have to take this somewhere else. You're disturbing some of the other customers."
"Fine." I grabbed my belongings and rushed out, hoping that Gerard wouldn't follow. But of course, him being the stubborn person he was, did. He grabbed my arm, and held it. I wrenched my arm from his grip and walked more quickly down the street. "Sara!" he called after me, but I kept walking.
"Sara, please." he said catching up to me. "I still love you."
I stopped in the middle of the side walk, and forced the people to go around me. I turned to face him, tears still streaming down face. "Gerard, it took me a long time to get over you. And now I finally am. Can't you see I'm happy? I can't have you come back into my life and change it all. Change everything I've done for myself. It just wouldn't be fair, okay?" And with that I turned and left him standing stunned.

NOAA and the U.S. Navy are teaming up with academic and other government scientists to design the next generation of powerful supercomputer models to predict weather, ocean conditions and regional climate change.
Four teams of scientists are beginning projects this month to rewrite computer models that will create faster, lower-cost, better integrated models. These new models will take advantage of new supercomputers that use more energy efficient/lower-cost processors such as those originally developed for the video gaming industry.

Let's never forget the dire consequences of false intelligence in Iraq. Plus, no matter how limited the air strikes, and no matter how "surgically" those strikes are aimed, there is no doubt that more innocent people will be killed and maimed.
The scenario that frightens me the most is that Assad could retaliate by attacking Israel. Then the U.S. would "have to" defend Israel. Iran would "have to" defend Syria. Russia would "have to" defend Iran, and here we go — smack dab into World War III. I am very frightened. Please contact Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Doug LaMalfa and ask them to oppose Obama's plan for military intervention in Syria.
Diplomacy and humanitarian aid are the only tools at our government's disposal that will not increase the terrible violence in Syria, and perhaps the world.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school has great TAKS scores, but that is not everything. There is no PTA. It feels like the staff doesn't want our help to educate our children.
I don't believe that the ratings given to this school or dependable. I am considering private education for my child due to the fact that Hispanic children are provided with more opportunities than the other children in the school. They have private classes that are taught in Spanish which includes a much easier curriculum. Therfore, the rating of this school is not credible. The other students' abilities are measured on how they perform unassisted while the Hispanics are being assisted and rated in the same manner. This provides a false and unfair sense of academic standing. I have a four year old neice that speaks English as a first language and she can't attend pre-k; only Hispanics. Remember Brown vs. Board of Education!
Acton is a disappointment to me as well. The teachers show no interest in the child's well being. My child has been disrespected on numerous occasions. The teachers are not polite, they have bad attitudes and they show a bit of ignorance, from what I have witnessed myself. There are no after school programs that the children can attend. It seems like the teachers are ready to get rid of the kids when the last bell rings for the day. I don't care that much for Acton, the teachers or the principles. My child is passing because she is very smart. I which that another school had room for her before I sent her to Acton.
Acton Elementary is a true neighborhood school. Most students live less than 2 miles away which makes us all feel like one big happy family. The teachers are friendly and care about their students. The school has high academic standards, and the students actually learn and have fun at the same time. Acton's students are some of the most well-behaved as I have been told by other teachers in the district. I would not be anywhere else in this district. Acton is the place to be in Duncanville ISD!
This school has been a big disappointment. The advantages are small classroom settings but a big disadvantage is that I have had to teach my child at home in order for him to pass this year. Teachers just don't have time to teach and administration has stressed that they must get all their curriculum in and do not have time to re-teach anything. Parent involvement is very low. The school has no extra-curricula activities. Uses recess time as punishment if your child does not finish work in class. Does not send home child's homework. This has been the worst year my second grader has ever had. We will not return next year.

Show Number: 1306
Air Dates: February 6, 2013 - February 12, 2013
E-Chievement Award: Sister Mary Alice Murphy
In this week's broadcast, eTown heads up the road to Fort Collins' beautiful Lincoln Center to welcome Seattle Americana sensations The Head and The Heart, along with longtime friend of the show Gregory Alan Isakov. The Head and The Heart makes its first visit to eTown to share lots of great music and insight into the origins and influences behind their collaborative songwriting process. The band started as a group of do-it-yourself musicians that met while frequenting Seattle's open mic night scene, and just a few years later have already managed to earn a wide reputation as an emerging voice in the recording arena, as well a phenomenal live band featuring one-of-a-kind vocal harmonies and a unique instrumentation. Also joining us is South African-born, Colorado-based singer/songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov, who makes another stop in eTown to share some of his latest music and road stories with hosts Nick and Helen Forster. It's a full episode of great music and conversation, and a great E-Chievement Award story this week. Be sure to tune in!

Guys, Tigermilk, Hurricane , Wakzou, Drunkenmonkey, and redx, Thanks a lot!
Just did a quick, very quick portrait testing out, in a exaggerated way what hurricane told me. Took me 15 minutes and its my last update for this holiday
Going to "skii" in the "Vasalopp" .. the Lite-version of it though
Cya! and thanks a lot for the support!
*needs a lot of work*
yay for master studies!!! it would be cool to see you really push this piece to a polished level, more polished than anything you've ever done! heh, i know you've just started, but it would be a good learning tool me thinks, you can't really go wrong with a master study since you are just observing and copying.
anyway dude, i really like this thing here it would help with clarity if you got some cast shadows in there, but its cool, it shows you have confidence and control too, each stroke does what you want it to.
i also really like this guy in the bottom left on this page, cool marks
keep it up dude, great stuff!

Thanks for the feedback!
Asoir: lol! Thanks man!

uhm, heres some "in-car-drawing-while-almost-asleep-on-bumpy-road" drawings. Bought an extra moleskine on my "holidays" , just realized how good it feels to draw on again
I post the rest later..
Just realized my post count 500 post and only about 40 in my own book ... I want a 2:1 ratio not a 1:2 ... but
its damn hard to update two times everytime you should check some buddys sketchbook.. and I often make small post in the lounge and the FF section.
hmm I try to stay daily... at least maybe I can get my sketchbook to get more posts then I have myself.. That be pretty cool =)

Research Revelations about Homeschooling
- Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Most of the arguments against home education or for state control over private home education also essentially ignore three things. First, there is no empirical research evidence to support their claims that homeschooling causes or will cause negative effects for individuals or for society. Second, pushing for state control does not truly give the child more control or protect his rights more; it simply gives the state more power than either the parent or child and gives the state ultimate power over the child. Third, a nation like the United States that considers the people "free," is a constitutional republic based on Biblical Scriptural concepts, and considers parents able to freely conduct their families' lives unless there is compelling evidence that they are harming their children should not be considering ways to infringe on parents' fundamental right to direct the education and upbringing of their children.21
In Sum
Research continues to show very positive outcomes and behaviors related to homeschooling. Although research on home-based education does not cover all possibilities and nuances to be considered in scientific endeavors, no empirical evidence exists that homeschooling is generally harming children or society. Finally, research cannot answer the question, Should parents nurture and educate their children in the context of parent-led home-based education as the norm? Ultimately, only divine revelation can properly answer that.
Brian D. Ray is an internationally known scholar and president of the nonprofit National Home Education Research Institute in Oregon, U.S.A. (www.NHERI.org). He earned his Ph.D. in science education from Oregon State University, M.S. in zoology from Ohio University, and B.S. in Biology from the University of Puget Sound. He has been a professor of science and education at the undergraduate and graduate levels, has been a classroom teacher in both public and private schools, and has taught homeschool students. Dr. Ray does research and speaking internationally and provides expert testimony to legislators and in courts that focus on homeschooling (home-based education, home education, home schooling) research and pedagogy.

A healthy, medium to dark garnet color with considerable rust and brown at the edge is typical of a 26-year old, high class red Burgundy. A pungent, smoked duck, Asian spice, sweet, red and black fruit, caramel-like bouquet explodes from the glass. If there is ever a wine that can be said to reek of terroir, it is this 1969. From one of the more structured vintages in the last 25 years (let's hope the finest 1993s turn out this well), this fully mature, medium to full-bodied La Tache still retains some tannin. It is beautifully sweet, expansive, and rich, with complex aromatics... It is a terrific La Tache that proves that in some instances, great red Burgundy can last for 25+ years.
