Watching his team miss easy shot after easy shot, Grant County Coach Shawn West suffered his own personal 'nightmare before Christmas' in the Lady Braves' most recent game on Dec. 20 at North Oldham.
Grant County missed a total of 19 layups in the 54-53 overtime loss.
"It was a coach's dream to get the shots we got, but we didn't finish when we got them," West said.
Trinity Long recently played in her first school volleyball game.
She plays for the Praisers, which is part of the Kentucky Christian School Athletic Association.
Long is the youngest player (11 yrs old) and plays on the JV team.
The game was played in Boonesborugh.
She really enjoys the game.
Long is the granddaughter of Chuck Long of Dry Ridge.
H.O.P.E. will have have a newer, bigger home after the new year.
Helping People Out Everywhere, a non-profit, all-volunteer organization, will be moving from its current location on Main Street in Dry Ridge in order to provide much-needed space.
The official opening date for H.O.P.E.'s new building at 209 Hopperton Lane in Dry Ridge (formerly Sugar Daddy's) will be Jan. 3.
The Williamstown Lady Demons' got 10 points from Kiki Johnson, a seventh grader, and seven other players contributed points in a win over Lloyd Memorial in girls' junior varsity action this week.
Johnson scored 10 points while teammate Haley Howe had one of her better games of the season with eight points. Olivia Harden was next for the winners with six points, followed by Justice Chambers, Nichole Hankinson and Olivia Souder with five each.
LLOYD MEMORIAL (30) - Brinkley 13, Crawford 2, Westwood 3, McCurdy 1, Smith 1, Webster 3, Musk 7.
Expecting early success, Coach Roger Harden had to be scratching his head wondering what's next after his young Demons opened the season with three straight losses.
But the second-year coach quickly found out what his team is made of as Williamstown went on the road on Dec. 13 and won at Walton-Verona, 52-49, for the first district win for the program in nearly five years.
The win snapped a losing streak against district opponents that dates back to February 6, 2009 - a span of 1,765 days.
The Grant County Braves won back-to-back games in boys' junior varsity action this week, beating Holy Cross 73-61 and Williamstown 57-31.
The Braves got double-digit points from two players in the win over district rival Williamstown. Joey Saylor led the way with 14, followed by Cole O'Nan with 10. Eight other players added points for the victors.
Carter Sarcione led Williamstown scorers with 12 points, followed by Brady Montgomery with nine.

Lawton, Rebecca
Adult Nonfiction GV782.42.L39 A3 2002
Summary: In the tradition of America's strong pioneer women, Rebecca Lawton was one of the first women river guides in the West. For millions of Americans and foreign visitors who have navigated America's great rivers by raft or boat - and for those who wish they could - this book will help them understand rivers and their impact on the human emotional landscape in a deeper sense. It offers such seekers, not only the thrill rides and vacation destinations of our rivers - but also their rich ecosystems and spiritual wellsprings. As Rebecca Lawton says, "To those who come to know them well, rivers are home." It was the river that taught me instinctive responses, in an unparalleled mentorship that led me throughout the American West every day for more than a decade. Being on the river every day taught me to read water - to psyche out where rocks hid in riffles, find safe passage in inscrutable rapids, and keep moving in flatwater sections." Now, years later, she offers Reading Water and the countless lessons she learned from interpreting rivers and currents, living in the river community, and becoming part of a boater's subculture.

(CNN) - The demand is so high for guns these days; WalMart is having trouble keeping some of them in stock.
The retail giant says guns and ammunition have been flying off store shelves ever since President Barack Obama's re-election.
The demand soared even high after the Newtown School shootings, when Obama launched his push for stricter gun laws.
Earlier this month, WalMart had to actually start rationing how much ammunition it sells to deal with the high demand.
Customers can now only get three boxes of ammo a day at stores nationwide.
But there is no limit to how many guns a customer can buy.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Flint Northern is a very interesting school they have great teachers,students, and a respectful principal. i am a student in grand blanc but i attended to northern in my 9th grade and halve of 10th grade year.
I only attended Flint Northern for two hours a day over my four years of high school (I was a student at Flint Central, but I attended Northern for math and science courses). All of my teachers there were excellent. Although not particularly diverse, the student body is exceptionally tight-nit. Everybody there seems to get along. As with all schools in Flint (and any other urban district) parent involvement is absolutely crucial to a student's success!

OMG. Are you or are you not totally freaking out over the fact that in a matter of days, the royal baby will finally arrive?!? (And if for some reason you're not excited, for the love of all things royal, why not?)
People all over the world are standing by on royal baby watch right now, and based on what's going on with Kate Middleton and Prince William, it looks as though she's due to give birth any time. Do you hear what I'm saying? Kate could go into labor at ANY moment. And that's probably why St. Mary's Hospital has had a final security sweep, and Kate has even been there for final checks to make sure everything is in place for her delivery.
More from The Stir: Kate Middleton's Baby Already Has an Official Name
Yet another sign that Kate will likely give birth in the next few days? There's a helicopter waiting in a field in Anglesey on "standby" to transport Prince William to London the minute Kate goes into labor so he doesn't miss the birth of his child.
Take a look at this video clip to hear more.
Ahhhh! Can you believe it? It seems like yesterday when the news of Kate's pregnancy broke, so it's just so surreal that the big day is finally approaching. But what if it happens in the early hours of the morning, which will be the middle of the night back here in the U.S.?
Holy moly -- there's a possibility that we could wake up tomorrow to the news that the royal heir has arrived, which will be the most exciting day most of us have had since Prince William and Kate tied the knot back in April of 2011. (Aww. Remember getting up at the crack of dawn to watch their wedding? Such a thrill.)
I don't know about you, but I'm sure I'll be tossing and turning until this kid finally makes his or her royal entrance. The suspense over when it will actually happen is almost too much to take! (Squee!)
What day do you think Kate will give birth?
Image via St. Mary's Hospital
I am not curious about her date of birth for her child. I am very anxious for mine to come.
i think it's wonderful. wish i was in the UK, just to say i was there in the country when she has the baby..

shakespeherian: Yeah I have an emotional investment in the Brock/Venture bros relationship but I was also kinda upset by this because the Hatred molesty humor grew pretty tired for me.I had always been waiting to discover that Brock is actually the (test tube-genetic material) "mother" of the two boys, for some fucked-up Doc Venture science reason, and that's why he feels such huge loyalty to the family. In fact, he's referred to them as 'family', so I became pretty sure of it...
Getting to your original point, I don't think that's really the point of an interview, to find out what's going to happen. You could find out how we write, you could find out what the show is about in broader terms, we could talk about all the past seasons. I'm not sure, I think you might be incorrect. I just want to point that out.No kidding.

NaNa Asian Fusion and Sushi Bar hit its one-year mark this month and has plans for the future, including a children's menu.
Nic Zheng owns the restaurant located at 4511 N. Oakland Ave.
"Everything went as planned," Zheng said.
His first year went so well that he sees a long future. He hopes to find ways to improve his sushi bar. Zheng plans to add more specials to the menu including a kids' menu and a bento box offered as a lunch special. The box would include sushi and another dish all in an easy-to-carry box.
Zheng, who was born in Hong Kong, is part of the third generation of restaurant owners in his family. Most of his family members' restaurants are located in upstate New York and in the Manhattan area.
Zheng's restaurant features fresh fish ordered daily from Hawaii and Japan. His menu includes a variety of sushi as well as Asian dishes with Japanese and Thai influences.
"A lot of customers are amazed by the quality of the fish," Zheng said.
He found that all of the sushi was equally popular. Top picks with the customers include the special rolls and dishes such as sesame chicken.
The busiest time of the year he experienced was during the holidays, especially during Christmas and the New Year. During the rest of the year, Friday is his busiest day of the week, primarily from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
One obstacle he faced that his family's restaurants did not is more competition.
"They are the only Asian restaurant in their town and everybody has to eat there," Zheng said. "For us, there are a lot of Chinese and Asian restaurants here."
His goal is to stay ahead of the competition by adding new dishes that other restaurants in the area do not have.
"I'm still working on the dishes, I still haven't come up with the names yet," Zheng said.
He takes inspiration from his family's restaurants in New York as well as the other chefs at NaNa Asian Fusion.
"My family came out twice to check it out and give recommendations and they liked it," Zheng said.
NaNa Asian Fusion and Sushi Bar is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and Noon to 10 p.m. on Sundays.

Humke began by telling the audience that he had taught at seven different institutions, and that he was honored and pleased to work with his colleagues at St. Olaf. He also praised St. Olaf students.
"St. Olaf students are a hard working lot and it's been a pleasure working with them," Humke said.
Humke's lecture focused on an introduction into the properties and geometric characteristics of four-dimensional space, an exploration he conducted with an applied linear algebra class he taught 20 years ago.
Humke and his class calculated that a cube in the fourth-dimension would look like a three-dimensional cube with a smaller three-dimensional cube inside of it, connected to the outside cube by the eight corners.
The overall image appears to be a jumble of lines, which Humke said a person must learn to see.
"The mind ignores certain aspects of drawn figures to construct a 3-D figure," Humke said. "We don't see with our eyes but with our brains."
The next part of the project explored how the figure would move in the fourth-dimension, a main distinguishing factor between it and figures in the third dimension.
"Objects twist in a higher dimension as they move vertically through our space, which manifests itself as rotation in our space," Humke said. This "rotation" appears in the fourth dimension as an image repeatedly pulling itself inside out.
After his explanation of these properties, Humke showed a brief video of cubes in one, two, three and four dimensions exhibiting such movement.

Basel Report
SEIKO unveil two important innovations at the 2007 Baselworld exhibition.
At a packed press conference on Thursday, April 12, SEIKO Watch Corporation unveiled two important new products to the world's media, the new marine collection named Velatura and the long-anticipated Spring Drive Chronograph.
In his opening address, Mr. Shinji Hattori, President and CEO of SEIKO Watch Corporation, described how both of these innovations were born of SEIKO's vision of Innovation and Refinement.
He said, "To be innovative without refinement is easy. To be refined but unexciting is not the SEIKO way. We enjoy the challenge of being both innovative and refined and the products we are launching today express our vision of Innovation and Refinement."
SEIKO presented no less than three new calibres. The new Spring Drive chronograph is the highlight, but, in the Velatura marine collection, a new Yachting Timer was presented alongside a new Kinetic movement, called Kinetic Direct Drive. All three new calibers are born of SEIKO's pursuit of what Mr. Hattori expressed as "Emotional Technology", watch movements that allow the wearer to interact more closely with their timepiece.
The new marine collection, Velatura, has been greeted with wide praise from the visitors to the SEIKO pavilion at Baselworld where it enjoys pride of place, presented against the backdrop of a dramatic water wall.
The Baselworld exhibition runs until Thursday, April 19.

Under a Read More to prevent clogging.
Okay, so this thing is essentially an AU with the Flameaux siblings (three total) turning Chaotic Neutral or Evil. It'll be pan-fandom as always, though now Kril and Kris are more focused on torture than sensuality. They'd sooner leave you handicapped than dead, is how I'd put it. Plus they and sister Patricia are getting overhauls to their appearance, due in part to a force beyond their control or something. Said appearances involve bio-machinery visible on some parts of the exposed body, and as a cliche, red irises. As of now in this AU, the three have left a slight mark, racking up somewhere between 15-30 torture victims, most living still.
If one were to ask "why are they like this now" is due to how someone ordered a hit onto their residency, burning and razing it to the ground all while confirming them dead. Details as to why the hit was ordered will be filled out later on. Just know that Kril's got a high-rise office and leadership, Kris a bungalow and main defensive coordinator, and Patricia a laboratory and main offensive coordinator.
Their motto? "Let them live like they died inside."

I've seen this post going around tumblr in regards to the Salvation Army's position and beliefs about homosexuality. Just wanted to let my followers know, who may not have noticed, that they also have an official position on abortion. Of course they do, why stop at people's love lives?!
The Salvation Army believes in the sanctity of all human life and considers each person to be of infinite value and each life a gift from God to be cherished, nurtured and redeemed. Human life is sacred because it is made in the image of God and has an eternal destiny. (Genesis 1:27) Sacredness is not conferred, nor can it be taken away by human agreement.
The Salvation Army deplores society's ready acceptance of abortion, which reflects insufficient concern for vulnerable persons, including the unborn. (Psalms 82:3-4)
The Salvation Army holds to the Christian ideals of chastity before marriage and fidelity within the marriage relationship and, consistent with these ideals, supports measures to prevent crisis pregnancies. It is opposed to abortion as a means of birth control, family planning, sex selection or for any reason of mere convenience to avoid the responsibility for conception. Therefore, when an unwanted pregnancy occurs, The Salvation Army advises that the situation be accepted and that the pregnancy be carried to term, and offers supportive help and assistance with planning.
The Salvation Army recognizes tragic and perplexing circumstances that require difficult decisions regarding a pregnancy. Such decisions should be made only after prayerful and thoughtful consideration, with appropriate involvement of the woman's family and pastoral, medical and other counsel. A woman in these circumstances needs acceptance, love and compassion.
When an abortion has taken place, The Salvation Army will continue to show love and compassion and to offer its services and fellowship to those involved.

Several of my family members have been turned away by our local Salvation Army. They're creepy as all hell, they actually consider themselves an army, they're willing to close down their soup kitchens in NYC if they're forced to offer health benefits to the partners of gay employees, and members can be kicked out if they marry outside the "army." Nope, they will not be getting any of my hard earned money. Here's some great charities that can always use your time and money, though.
WHAT? See, these people are doing too damn much. Dear SA, go the fuck to sleep. Sincerely, people who are tired of your bullshit.
I won't give them a dime this holiday season. Fuck them.
Annnnnnd fuck The Salvation Army.
This makes me ill.
Take the time this winter to assert to your local SA solicitors why you will not be giving them any of your money,...
I never knew that they were such assholes. Ironically enough, my mom almost accidentally donated my FCKH8 shirt to them...
Another reason these jerks aren't getting any of my money.
WOW, super glad I've done nothing to support them. A million kind acts can be destroyed by unkindness.

Welcome to the first installment of Bozza & Burke, a blog where bestselling author and critic Anthony Bozza and young upstart Max Burke dissect the latest rock music, news and trends with a healthy sense of humor, a dab of personal reminiscences and a twist of opinion. Before we kick things off, a few brief words by way of explanation.
The Why
I've wanted to blog about music for a while, but like a drunk uncle at a wedding, I found myself reasoning in circles. Why do this? What should I cover? Hasn't that been done? Where do I fit in? Why bother (who are you and where's the bar?). I saw no need for more opining, snark, or over-sharing. I was done with diary diarrhea passing for reviews. I wanted less to say more than esoteric soundbites. I didn't want to cover the obvious obviously. I wanted a nuanced conversation, a dialogue of observations with a like minded soul harboring different sensibilities – this would yield insight and add something of worth to the wide waters of the Internet. My co-hort Burke is the perfect fit. He's got a great ear, a clean writing voice and he knows his music, both past and present. So away we go. I hope you all enjoy it.
- Anthony
The What
What is the purpose of this blog? First and foremost, we're hoping to get some discussion about the current state of music and hopefully expose some bands that deserve it. This project speaks to a single provocative question: Does the culture of rock music have any weight in this day and age? Has the time when rock music "meant something" in a larger cultural sense, passed? Perhaps it has, and if it has, then what does it mean to continue to engage in rock music as a critic, a fan, a musician or record label? Has it become just an insular group of people talking to each other in new ways or does social media, the ubiquity of the digital world and the democratizing power of blogging point the way forward to a new era that recaptures the idealism that birthed the music?
We hope to address these questions by looking at a variety of bands across the spectrum of rock music, as well as bringing you interviews and commentary on the music industry at large. We'll discuss our backgrounds, how we came to be music nerds and critics, and how that role is changing rapidly. We'd also love to hear from you…is there a band we should investigate? Is there a subject you'd love to hear us discuss? Please let us know.
For our first installment, we'll be looking at some of the rock music made over the past 12 months or so by a variety of under-the-radar artists.
White Hills – "Dead"
from the LP White Hills (Thrill Jockey, 2010)
Burke: White Hills are one of my favorite bands in Brooklyn. Unfortunately, they don't play out too much in the city. They have a much larger following in Europe although now they are on Thrill Jockey and last year was a big year for them. They are heavy psychedelic rock, although some of their material is longer and spacier, and some noisier. The band is masterminded by one man named Dave W. and they have recorded with Kid Millions from Oneida. Live they are a three or four piece and they really bring it, including costumes and makeup which are pretty out there and psychedelic. The live spectacle is mesmerizing: the group isn't afraid to flirt with the theatricality of glam, which is a bit unfashionable in rock right now. I got into White Hills around the time that I discovered Hawkwind, which I think makes sense. They'll be going on tour in the States shortly, check the MySpace link above.
Bozza: You were on a Hawkwind bender, were you Burke? Glorious stuff – one could fill a weekend with Hawkwind's catalog without even stretching. White Hills does psych the way I like it: they capture the roller coaster emotion of a psychedelic trip without going the short way around, which is to say using noise to recreate a "freakout" experience. They avoid the bad acid and carnivorous spiders feeling of more run-of-the-mill trippy jam bands. They avoid retro cliché but capture the power. They remind me of Hear It Is/Oh My Gawd!!! era Flaming Lips sans the compulsion to couch their extended explorations in shades of traditional pop song structure. On stage,their glam touches, from the occasional Ziggy Stardust spaceman outfit to a healthy theatrical flair, are what keep White Hills fun. They get "out there" but don't insist that it be a somber Spacemen 3/Velvet Underground affair. If I had my way, this summer they'd tour with Earl Greyhound and play outdoor venues where the ticket price included a free plate of BBQ.
White Fence - "Lillian (Won't You Play Drums?)"
White Fence – Lillian (Won't You Play Drums?) by forcefieldpr
from the LP Is Growing Faith (Woodsist, 2011)
Bozza: This really is a perfect 60s garage track, and it couldn't be better produced to achieve the desired effect. It's a nice one-man band yin to the yang of Tim Presley's work with Darker My Love. There is a lack of pretense here, combined with a very well crafted and conveyed idea that never strays into cover band territory. I can't understand why this song isn't on three movie soundtracks already.
Burke: The first time I heard this record all I could think was "lo-fi" Kinks. Like you say, this has potential to be a cover/tribute act without bringing anything new to the table but it avoids that through sheer talent and earnestness. The bonus track on the digital version is a straight cover of Johhny Thunders' "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory," which is a pretty ballsy pick, but it slays. The lack of exposure this group has is a perfect indicator of how even accessible, extremely well-done traditional rock is barely a blip on the radar for all but the most devoted hipsterati.
Tyvek - "4312″
from the LP Nothing Fits (In The Red, 2010)
Bozza: Excuse the alliteration, but this is primo post-punk amphetamine garage rock. They remind me of a mid-Nineties Epitaph/Fat Possum band from Oxford, Mississippi called The Neckbones, but a tougher, more Stooges version, because they are from Detroit after all. The Neckbones came from a juke joint blues tradition, but the two bands share the same overly-wired out of control exhilaration. Did Tyvek name themselves after the polyethylene fabric used for Priority Mail envelopes and painters coveralls? I have a wallet made of that material which I've found to be strong, yet highly breathable, much like this band. Should Tyvek ever write a "Smells Like Teen Spirit" break out hit, I wonder whether Dupont will send them a cease and desist letter or just try to awkwardly levy the band's cred in an effort to offset their ongoing crimes against the environment.
Burke: I think they have had to disguise their name on LP covers and their MySpace. Tyvek is a copyright of DuPont. Perhaps by refusing to change their name they have dodged the question of what happens when they sell out. I have been trying to see these guys live for a while and finally succeeded. They showed up late to their headlining set and the second guitarist got lost along the way so they played the first three songs without him. Why not? The kids were going crazy I tell you, a full-blown bouncy mosh pit of joy. I think these guys are the real deal simply by virtue of truly not caring.
Purling Hiss – "Run From The City" (Live on WFMU)
Purling Hiss – Run From The City (Live at WFMU)
Burke: I chose this live session because the recorded material is so beyond lo-fi it can take multiple listens to acclimate and really understand what he's doing. The recorded stuff is also a one-man band show, not unlike White Fence, but live he adds a bassist and drummer that gives the songs some muscle. Most of the tunes, which are well-constructed, are just structures to add crazy guitar solos to, which is as legitimate an approach as any in my mind. This guy really gets my blood pumping, although it might not be the height of originality.
Bozza: I agree, but there's no shame in his game. Stylistically, he's a less glum version of J Mascis. Both of them are marvels. Allow yourself to be subsumed by the wailing wall of shredding.
Spotlight on Marnie Stern
"For Ash" from Marnie Stern (Kill Rock Stars, 2010)
I find it difficult to write about Marnie Stern. One reason is that her music is so exuberant, so immediately accessible and full of technical prowess and melodic invention that it seems rather crass to put it into writing. Not crass, maybe, but ultimately pointless. Of course I'm a writer and a critic and a fan and I love to talk about music but Stern elicits that all too rare reaction…speechlessness. Critics and pundits have been trying to pin the girl rock thing on Stern since her first LP and she won't allow it because she preempts so many of these criticisms through her music, relying on a fierce tapping technique in her guitar and songs with titles like "Female Guitar Players Are The New Black," at once sarcastic and knowing.
I think Stern has potential to transform into that rare female rock figure who does everything on her own terms and is never co-opted into a music industry that would like nothing better than to exert control over all its artists, male and female alike. She's too smart and too talented to let that happen, and she's also fortunate to live in a time when the influence of "the music industry," as a monolith, is on the wane permanently.
- Max
I wish it were six months from now so that everyone reading this blog would believe me when I say this: Max, you and I never gush like this. Because we don't. We both dig Marnie for the semi-reclusive, impossible to compartmentalize, stupidly talented, uncaring creative genius she is. She is the new (and improved) Kim Gordon for all girls (and boys) in rock and long may she wail. I'd love to see what happened if she found just the right band, if she found her male or female Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce or Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding. Not sure I could handle that but I'm damn willing to try.
Our Response To The New Radiohead
Everyone just chill out, listen to Neil Young, and figure out how you feel about the new Radiohead album in six months. Or even one month. Seriously.
There will be a full discussion of King of Limbs next go-round, but for now, we're going to showcase the best of the impossibly premature reactions we've found around the Internets.
Sean Fennessy goes for the literal approach.
Klosterman nails it.
Fox News' surprisingly watchable Red Eye deadpans it for the win.

WHAT a fantastic first blogging. I'm posting it on all of my friends' sites who claim that rock is dead for my generation. Can't wait to listen to all this new music you've shown me. Thanks so much, guys, can't wait to keep reading.
Rock ain't dead. It's called Drive-By Truckers or North Mississippi Allstars … or whenever Slobberbone decides to release their next album.

Juan Manuel Marquez Drinks His Own Urine
9/8/09 in Boxing | Pat | 5232 respect
Juan Manuel Marquez is not sparing any expense whatsoever while training for his fight against Floyd Mayweather, Jr. And that apparently includes drinking his own urine. Seriously.
According to Marquez, it helps him regain lost vitamins that he urinated out during the day. UFC Light Heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida does the same thing, and it apparently works for him. Still, I'm not buying it. There's a reason your body gets rid of the stuff.
Wait ... Is That Boxer Drinking His Own Urine? [Deadspin]

Blithesome: lighthearted, merry, cheerful
It is time for a new segment that I have been ruminating on for some time now. "Look, a Distraction" will be a recurring article basically entailing anything I feel is worthy of distraction, be it games, movies, TV shows, etc. We all need a break from our MMO of choice from time to time and Dr. Klassi is here for you! Mostly "Look, a Distraction" will be me discussing/reviewing various games. Not a review like most sites mind you, but mostly whether or not I enjoyed playing it and would I recommend it. As I have made mention of before, I'm not the MMORPG playing robot that Ferrel is (his words, not mine). I enjoy a variety of genres of video games and I tend to get bored with many and try out a lot of games simply because I can. With the fact that I'm now working and can't spend all day playing a video game, my standards have increased so to speak. So here is the first of possibly many…
The first game of my series is… Mount & Blade Warband. Perhaps you've heard of it, but I have a feeling that most of you haven't. Most of the people I've talked to have never heard of it. Mount & Blade Warband is an action RPG set in a fictional medieval world. Players create a character and customize the appearance and then choose which of the 8 kingdoms they will start in. Then the game opens up and allows the player to do basically whatever they want within reason. You can gain influence with a faction and become a lord eventually becoming a king while you strive for world domination. Or you can be a noble knight, marauding Nord, the Viking/Norse equivalent for the game, or whatever else.
The combat is quite fun, and a bit challenging, especially so in the beginning. Weapons swings are in the direction you move the mouse: up, down, left, right; blocking without a shield works the same way. So to block a thrust, one must look slightly down while pressing block and the same for the other directions. However, when you have a shield, you only have to press block. But beware: the shield has a durability rating and will break if it is hit too much. Blunt weapons break shields easier, spears do more damage thrusting than swinging, and some weapons can be used with either one or two hands. The combat plays out well, and you can't take on too many opponents at once or you will get overwhelmed and killed. Which is something I like, too often you are some sort of medieval superman cutting through enemies like wheat while screaming "HULK SMASH." Now the AI isn't the greatest, and once you learn how to block and attack well you can basically kill everyone as long as you don't get swarmed. It is very satisfying to ride around on a horse with a spear stabbing the enemy in the chest while listening to some Viking metal. Guess which faction I chose.
Now Dr. Klassi, you said this was an action RPG! Yeah I'm getting to it, shut it. You have a multitude of skills to help you in your quest for world domination or whatever you crazy people plan on doing. Some of the skills help your character do more damage with certain classes of weapons and some of them help your party in general. Some of those increase the rate by which your party heals, or lets you take prisoners to ransom off later. It's a fun system and I have logged quite a few hours roaming the countryside assaulting bandits and raiding villages.
It's a fun game, and gets even more so with the multiplayer and the various mods associated with it. I had originally intended to write about one of the mods that I have been playing rather regularly for a few months now, but maybe some other time. It's a game I can pick up and play for as little as 15 min or a few hours and enjoy myself. Even better it's often on sale on Steam or Amazon for only a few dollars, maybe it even is now. Go check yourself! I'm not you, I already own the game. If you're looking for a fun action game that lets you raid villages, siege castles, and go on wild killings sprees with your chosen band of mercenaries then this is the game for you.
The best part? There is a demo on Steam. Give it a go.
Maybe I'll take suggestions as time goes on, but for now you get what I pick. Woooooo.

(Sports Network) - The Oklahoma City Thunder try to nab one more home victory in 2012 on Monday night as they take on the Phoenix Suns, who aim to halt a five-game losing streak.
The Thunder are 15-2 at home this season and have won 11 straight as the hosting club. They haven't lost at home since Nov. 14 against Memphis.
Oklahoma City is coming off a 124-94 road win over the Houston Rockets, getting 28 points from Russell Westbrook and 26 from Kevin Durant.
Westbrook added eight assists and eight rebounds, while Kevin Martin racked up 19 points off the bench to help the Thunder top their previous scoring high. That also came against the Rockets, a 120-98 rout in Oklahoma City on Nov. 28 that marked the first meeting between the teams since the preseason trade that sent star guard James Harden to Houston.
Much of the damage came from beyond the arc, with Oklahoma City knocking down 13-of-29 shots from three-point range. Martin went 5-of-8 from long distance, with Durant hitting on 4-of-9 attempts.
"I started off terrible and I just wanted to get going," Durant said of his performance. "My teammates always believe in me and I believe in myself. I just wanted to come off and shoot a good shot."
In winning for the 14th time in 16 games, the Thunder turned a two-point lead with four minutes left in the first half to a commanding edge by scoring the final 16 points of the second quarter.
The Thunder play the first of three in a row at home against the Suns, who have lost 12 of their last 16 and fell to 2-13 on the road this season with a 111-107 setback in Minnesota on Saturday.
Luis Scola poured in a game-high 33 points with 10 rebounds, Shannon Brown had 21 points and Goran Dragic added 16 points and 12 assists in the setback.
Phoenix led 102-99 with 3:47 left in the fourth quarter, but Minnesota countered with a 10-4 surge to go up with 55.6 seconds left.
"This is our 11th close game and we cannot finish any of them," Dragic said. "All of those games were close, even tonight's game. We just have to battle and try to get a little bit of confidence."
The Suns will close out a three-game road trip looking to snap a three-game slide in Oklahoma City.
Phoenix lost all three of its meetings with the Thunder a season ago and have lost six straight and eight of its last 10 in this series.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) - An 81-year-old Myrtle Beach man was arrested after a girl claimed she was sexually assaulted during a sleep over.
According to an Horry County police report, the father of the 7-year-old victim told officers that his daughter spent the night at a friend's house and was touched by Cyril Dharmadasa inappropriately on June 6.
The victim told police that while she and her friend were sitting on the guest bed, Dharmadasa entered the room and sat down next to her. She stated that he then placed his hand down her shirt and then placed his hand down her pants.
Later, while they were watching TV, Dharmadasa entered the room and told his daughters it was time to take a bath, the report said.
Once they left, she said Dharmadasa sat down next to her and began trying to kiss her and placed his hand inside her pants again.
Dharmadasa was arrested Wednesday and charged with criminal sexual conduct with a child under 11.
He is currently being held at the J Reuben Long Detention Center.

Filming the Best Unfilmed Script in Hollywood
There are signs that Jacob's Ladder is finally getting the retrospective attention it truly warrants.
Originally written by Bruce Joel Rubin, who would become one of Hollywood's most successful screenwriters after his work on Ghost, the script for Jacob's Ladder was ironically both highly regarded in the industry and yet thought unfilmable. It was even considered the best unfilmed script in Hollywood and written about in an article in the influential journal American Film. Yet it remained unmade until director Adrian Lyne was looking for a new project to follow his hit Fatal Attraction and was handed the script after requesting something good and unusual. He subsequently took to the project with a visionary zeal not as evident in his fondness for high-concept modern morality plays. Indeed, within Lyne's accomplished filmography, Jacob's Ladder remains something of the odd film out, and many critics were thus somewhat unprepared for this remarkable, enigmatic and even baffling film and in the divisive reaction there was an apparent tendency to dismiss it in part because of a general hostility towards the blend of sensationalism and sophisticated glossiness in Lyne's other works. Those who responded positively to it, however, were almost overawed by the movie, with some going so far as to claim that the film was designed so as to actually provoke or awaken a psychotic state within the viewer.
Synopsis (contains spoilers)
Tim Robbins plays a soldier in Vietnam whose unit comes under fire. In the ensuing chaos, he wanders into the woods and is wounded. An abrupt cut to several years later in New York City.
Robbins is now a mailman, living with a woman (Elizabeth Pena) although he has sad memories of his lost child and is troubled by continued Vietnam flashbacks. On the way home one day, Robbins suffers bizarre visions and is at a loss to explain them. The only calming presence in his life is his dutiful chiropractor (a cherubic Danny Aiello). He goes to his veteran's hospital but flees upon seeing something mysterious. His demonic intimations continue until he collapses at a party. Taken home, he runs a fever and is given an ice bath. Some time later, he awakens next to another woman and tells her that he has been dreaming that he was in another relationship with a co-worker (Pena). His world has fractured. Soon, his grip on reality becomes even more confusing when he is approached by a former member of his combat unit who has been suffering from a similar hallucinatory psychosis. Evidence of a conspiracy begins to surface and at a funeral, Robbins is back in touch with other men from his unit, all with similar symptoms. They hire a lawyer (Jason Alexander) for a class action suit alleging military misconduct, but soon Robbins must contend with something far more sinister and spiritual when he begins to doubt those closest to him.
Spiritual Allegory: the Biblical "First Death" as Psychotic Identity Dissolution
Jacob's Ladder concerns a spiritual journey – the process of what is commonly known as the Biblical "first death" – visualized in terms akin to a paranoid schizophrenic psychosis.
It occurs in a state of perceptual transience as the mind (or soul) has to leave one state of being for another but cannot let go of what it considers integral to its life in that initial state. Indeed, as the film is structured to incorporate a series of seeming Vietnam flashbacks, so too it gradually becomes clear that what is accepted as past is the present, and that the "reality" of Robbins' life as we have been following it is the psychotic construct of a dying man. Slowly, the real and the imaginary become intertwined in the film's continuous play with subjective experience as time and space are subject to a schizophrenic dissolution, both perceptual and psychological. Dying is paralleled to psychosis – as such, the essence of transformation and psychotic, spiritual metamorphosis. Of course, the net result of this perceptual confusion is the descent into an ever more elaborate paranoia which may be rooted in an objective military conspiracy or which in turn may be the product of a mind desperately longing to keep itself grounded but lapsing into paranoid delusion. Other films have toyed with such notions – Altered States for one – but Jacob's Ladder remains the most provocative of these "visions of madness" in its spiritual intimations.
Yet the interplay of cause and effect is also most intriguing here. Hallucination (or the inclination of demonic presences) seems to be the first stage in the process leading to the dissolution of the identity.
As the many layers of Robbins' identity are systematically peeled away, both perceptual certainty and memory slowly intertwine in what seems a struggle against a fated end - death. Indeed, the idea of a man whose sense of certainty in self is gradually eroded is a common theme throughout Lyne's work, its most disturbing implications finally confronted most personally in Jacob's Ladder. As fascinating as the film is as an exploration of spiritual surreality it seeks nevertheless to teasingly provide some explanations for what is a completely frightening and inexplicable loss of control. The explanations, though, are Robbins' delusions and by inviting audience acceptance of them makes for an approximation of psychosis. The ending, reminiscent in part of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, gives the film its spiritual context wherein the rather contrived conspiracy mechanics can be explained as Robbins' need to explain his own otherwise inexplicable predicament – the paranoid creation of delusion. Indeed, therein lays the horror of the film, in the loss of psychological self-control and subsequent perceptual stability, with hallucination and delusion emerging from the paranoid drive to re-establish order.
Hallucination & Perception: Visualizing the "Paranoid-Critical"
The 16:9 enhanced widescreen transfer is professional despite a murkiness which may obscure clarity on some shots: it is noticeable but never severe.
The film has an astonishing sense of the hallucinatory uncertainty of perception – a key motif throughout – and the way in which people and events increasingly have significance beyond the apparent chronicles the film's descent into a paranoid vision. Again, this adopts a schizophrenic approach: ideas of reference as a precursor to paranoid delusion. It has a cold sophistication, full of the glossy elegance typical of Lyne (often attributed to his background in television commercials) with a structural emphasis on the notion of the persistence of memory. The seeming hallucinations are kept abrupt and pass by quickly, adding to the sense of uncertainty so well established. They are often blurry, Lyne admittedly intending to evoke the paintings of Francis Bacon. It is a glistening world of almost hostile coldness, with the little warmth being a respite from the chaos of Robbins' increasingly fevered mind. Such respite is found only with Aiello and in the ending's intimation of happiness. A journey down a hospital corridor becomes a fearful descent into hell in the film's most astonishing sequence. The notion of the madhouse thus becomes a motif in the film, its purpose seemingly to equate the process of dying with the psychotic dissolution of the identity.
The Perceptual Uncertainty of Destabilizing Expressionism
The Dolby Digital 5.1 sound transfer is exceptional. The evocative score by Maurice Jarre adds both a mournful delicacy and a mounting urgency, tied as it is to Robbins' awareness of his own disintegrating mental state.
Abrupt changes in levels between quiet, minor, ordinary sounds and almost crashing loudness are appropriately jarring. The uneasy use of directional effects in the surround space adds to the increasing sense of disorientation, further allying the viewer's helplessness to Robbins' fate. With score and diegetic sound levels always linked to the notion of perceptual uncertainty and destabilization, the aural design is as important to the overall effect as is the visual style – thus, there is an otherworldly sound to many of the abrupt hallucinations and natural, familiar sounds are gradually made to seem dangerous and even threatening. Robbins' lone auditory hallucination (of a voice) proves a devastating moment, adding to the film's relentless plunge. Just as Lyne establishes a convincing aural realism, so too he seeks to undermine it: all calm is illusory in this movie, except perhaps for the final moments in a film building to one man's need to make peace with his fate. A gentle rainfall is nicely used, and an abrupt explosion contributes to a sense of danger and an ever-extending sphere of paranoia. A slowing heartbeat, with attendant flashes of vision, is used to striking Expressionist effect in the final scenes.
Bonus Treats for DVD Enthusiasts
As befits a Special Edition DVD, there are numerous extras, all of which enhance the experience of this movie.
Included is an original trailer and television spot, several nicely informative text pages of production notes and a cast and crew list with biographies. There are a number of deleted scenes (some of which add to the LSD type psychedelia of the movie's conspiracy sideline) with optional director's commentary. The sound quality in the deleted scenes has a pronounced hiss, however, and the visual transfers are rather murkier than the movie as it appears on this DVD. There is an informative documentary featurette, in which the movie is described succinctly as "the dissolution of a man who is dying". It covers the approach to demonic imagery, the visualization of a dying mind, and has screenwriter Rubin discuss his particular interest in dissolution. Director Lyne says that star Robbins sought the lightness in the character (as a humanizing means) and admits that he used in-camera effects throughout the film to enhance the realism of the hallucinatory scenes. He specifically refers to one scene taken out of the movie (but included on the DVD as a deleted scene) and talks of the importance of the idea of closure in human life. He discusses the intent to reveal Pena as a more demonic figure in the deleted scenes (and this is brought out further in the optional director's commentary for that scene).
In addition is an insightful and engrossing commentary track by director Adrian Lyne in which he talks of how he became involved in the project (and of how it reminded him in particular of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge), how he researched the Vietnam sequences to get the right look and of how his visualization differed in part from some details in the script.
He talks of the visual influence of the paintings of Francis Bacon and says that he sought to achieve a kind of "Thalidomide imagery" for a look of fleshy deformation. There is much discussion of his visual style (in Jacob's Ladder and in his work in general) with particular reference to the importance of close-ups for an added sense of tactility, often in quick glimpses to evoke time and place. He talks of his use of 16mm for the scenes of Robbins' character and his son and on how the film was difficult to edit due to its conception of different times and shifting realities, intertwined with persistent memories. The long-rumored LSD-type drug experimentation in Vietnam alluded to in the film is also brought up as Lyne discusses the film's thematic basis and plot manipulations. The commentary puts the film in appropriate perspective and is a most useful addition to the appreciation of Jacob's Ladder as one of the truly few films to have sought to fuse the means of schizophrenic psychosis to film narrative and indeed to film form.

I too just put my XM-9 Sub-Compact in the center console. My XD-M .40 3.8 also fits in there. I put it upside down (hand grip up and barrell to the rear). But I am left handed and it is easy for me to cross-over and grab it with my left hand.
In Florida it needs to be concealed (not in plain view). There is some rule about the need to make two moves to get to it (something like that).
Do a search on this forum. There was a string a while back or some ideas with pics.

According to multiple congressional sources, Obama won't unveil his budget until April 8, missing the statutory deadline by more than two months. Presidents in their first year in office routinely miss the deadline -- they take over in late January and have little time to prepare -- but Obama will easily...

Laura-Beth Power
Laura-Beth Power (aka LB) loves all things yoga and firmly believes that yoga is a lifestyle to be practiced on and off the mat. LB first discovered yoga in 2005 and a few years later went on a retreat in Thailand; while on this retreat she discovered the depths a regular committed practice can take you, both physically and mentally. Upon her return she began to study with Meranda Squires at The Lotus Centre and has completed her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training, Meditation Teacher Training, Level 2 Yoga Philosophy, and Mind Clearing Level 1. LB has also had the opportunity to deepen her knowledge by traveling to the Halifax Yoga Conference in 2011, the Yoga Journal Conference in San Francisco in 2012, by attending workshops with Michael Stone, and whenever the opportunity arises on her travels she takes in classes of different styles. LB's background in dance has steered her personal practice towards the Vinyasa Flow variety, however, she has practiced Yin, Restorative, Ashtanga primary series, traditional Hatha, Partner, Power, and Detox yoga. In her spare time you can find her eating lunch at The Sprout, hiking, traveling, and dancing.
Robin Penney
Robin is a Certified Yoga Teacher, and has been teaching since March 2011. Trained in the Anusara method, she teaches alignment-based vinyasa classes that are steeped in choreography and yet structured enough so that overworked brains know what's coming. Her classes feature solid alignment cues to find freedom and safety, and she provides sound, skillful adjustments. Strength building and core work are used to help students continually progress in their practice. She loves to use the asana practice as a training ground for exploring mental and emotional patterns and behaviors with the self and others off the mat. Robin also enjoys incorporating the rich traditions of yoga philosophy through story, mantra, and breath work. Her goal is to help every student feel happy, healthy, and inspired!
Cheryl Fenk
Cheryl is amazed at how even five minutes of moving and breathing on the mat can alter her view of the world. She completed the 200-hour Akhanda Yoga Teacher Training with World Conscious Yoga Family in 2008. This experience inspired her to seek more joy in her life – both on and off the mat. Around the same time she undertook the challenge of a silent 10-day Vipassana Meditation Retreat, which had a profound effect on both her yoga and her work in alternative health. Through Cheryl's teaching, regular meditation practice and daily walks with her dogs she strives to cultivate present moment awareness. The experience of teaching has made her deeply grateful for the opportunity to share the gifts of slowing down, becoming still and moving inward. Cheryl is the owner/operator of Embrace Wellness.
Susan Day
Susan truly believes that yoga can change your life. She has been amazed by how moving and breathing on the mat can translate into a calm and positive approach to life off the mat.

Inspired by her teachers and fellow yogis, she recently took her journey to New York City where she completed her 200Hr Vinyasa Teacher Training at Sonic Yoga.
Susan comes from the corporate world and for years wondered how she could make a difference in this fast paced and often stressful environment. Her goals is to bring yoga into the office and make it more accessible to those who most need time away from their desks and computers to breathe, move, and clear the mind.

Sleep disorders diminish the daily quality of life for millions of people. Poor sleep also leads to serious health problems, especially heart disease, and an increased risk of car crashes.
If you have difficulty falling and/or staying asleep, or difficulty staying awake, you're among the millions of Americans with a sleep disorder.
The Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin's Sleep Disorders Program stands apart in helping people who suffer from a wide range of sleep problems. Our expert sleep medicine team includes specialists in pulmonary medicine, neurological diseases, reconstructive surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery and psychology. Many team physicians have additional fellowship training in sleep disorders, and all are board-certified in their specialty areas.
We provide access to physicians who are dual certified both in Sleep Medicine and disorders of the upper airway (Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery). They are able to assist patients in finding the best therapy tailored to their individual needs. Treatment may range from a minimally invasive office based procedure to more advanced airway reconstruction. Physicians use the best available medical evidence to guide treatment, and with the use of modern tools, evaluate outcomes.
The Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Sleep Disorders Program was the first in the nation to treat a sleep apnea patient with upper airway stimulation therapy (hypoglossal nerve stimulation). This FDA-approved therapy monitors breathing and stimulates airway muscles to keep the airway open during sleep.
In many cases, sleep disorders are caused by a combination of factors. Our team members work together to address sleep disorders from every angle, and provide patients with a thorough diagnosis, education about their disorder, treatment options and rehabilitation.
Because sleep disorders often have more than one cause, treatment can be complex. Effective, lasting treatment begins with thorough identification of the underlying cause(s) of the sleep problem. Physicians in the Sleep Disorders Program excel at finding the exact cause through a comprehensive evaluation. We talk to patients and ask the right questions to determine the exact cause for their sleep disorder. In many cases, a sleep study is not required to diagnose the problem.
Our staff is highly skilled in evaluating hard-to-diagnose sleep disorders and offering options for difficult-to-treat cases. Many people who have been treated at other sleep centers discover the difference of receiving comprehensive care at the Sleep Disorders Program. Some people learn that they received an incorrect diagnosis of their sleep problem, or that their poor sleep is related to a medical problem that was overlooked.
Because the program is part of an academic medical center, our sleep medicine specialists have access to the latest technology and research to fully evaluate a wide range of sleep disorders. We use a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, with our sleep medicine team often involving specialists from otolaryngology, neurology and endocrinology.
Our advanced medical and surgical treatment options are based on solid, evidence-based research. The program is known internationally for performing pioneering surgery to correct breathing-related sleep disorders.
Educating patients about their sleep disorder — even before treatment begins — is key to a successful outcome. We discuss recommended treatment options and work with each person to discuss how treatment will evolve over time, going through each step of the process. Patients truly partner with our team members in maximizing their health and well being. In some cases, people who are struggling with their prescribed medication or sleep equipment get the help they need to maximize the effective use of these items.
Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin also offer community education classes for the public on the health effects of inadequate sleep.
Through formal education programs, our sleep medicine physicians share their expertise with other physicians in the community. This helps physicians to ask the right questions when discussing sleep problems with their patients. We also teach the next generation of physicians about sleep disorders as part of the curriculum at The Medical College of Wisconsin, and provide sleep medicine fellowship training for two physicians each year.

AutoGuide News Blog
The AutoGuide News Blog is your source for breaking stories from the auto industry. Delivering news immediately, the AutoGuide Blog is constantly updated with the latest information, photos and video from manufacturers, auto shows, the aftermarket and professional racing.
The new crash results for 2011 models are in, and only the BMW 5 Series and Hyundai Sonata got a 5-star rating overall.
The government-run tests were the first that employed a "female" crash-test dummy, and a direct crash into a pole. The vehicles were rated from 1 to 5 stars, which are based on a weighted average of risk of injury in the front and side crashes and rollover resistance compared to other vehicles. The only vehicles to earn 5 stars were Hyundai and BMW, and were among the first 34 vehicles tested this new way.
These new tests were put in place in order to give shoppers more information, since high scores had become so common."More stars equal safer cars," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "Through new tests, better crash data and higher standards, we are making the safety ratings tougher and more meaningful for consumers."
Most surprising were the results for the 2011 Toyota Camry, the best-selling car in the U.S. that got just 3 stars overall (the 2010 model, which was nearly identical, got top scores last year). The only other car to get a 3-star rating was the Camry Hybrid.
Placing at the bottom was the 2011 Nissan Versa, which was also the only vehicle to score just 2 stars overall. The blame of this poor score, says Nissan, is the Versa's old design, and the company is working on ways to improve the car's crash-test scores without a full redesign. The automaker believes that the 2011 Juke, which is based on the Versa platform, should score higher as it's a newer iteration.
As for the rest of the vehicles, the remaining 2011 vehicles that were tested ranked with 4 stars overall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is planning on testing 22 more 2011 models.
See after the jump for the full list of models tested under the new 2011 rules:
