Amma, the Hugging Saint, Will Embrace New Yorkers Today
Mata Amritanandamayi, better known as Amma or the Hugging Saint, has arrived in New York, the second to last stop on her 2013 North American tour.
Amma, in case you're not familiar, is a spiritual leader who give out free hugs. Followers consider a hug from Amma "Darshan," a blessing with the power to heal, comfort, and bring good fortune.
According to estimates, she has embraced something like 32 million people around the world at this point.
The experience can be a powerful one, as people who have been hugged will attest:
I felt an intense energy running through my body and it grew stronger the closer I got...then my head was gently pushed down onto Amma's left shoulder as she held me. In my ear, I heard her whispering, "Ma,Ma,Ma,Ma,Ma" or something close to that. I had no idea what it meant or what it was supposed to do for me, but I felt the tears coming and I began to weep in her arms. I cried like a child cries to it's mother when it has been hurt and she just held me there for a few moments, and then it started to pass. I prayed so hard in my head to just get one look into her eyes before I left her. I was pulled to my feet, but I couldn't look away from her. A few moments passed and suddenly my prayer was answered. Amma in the midst of everything she was doing for everyone, looked right up at me. I was breath taken. I saw the whole world shining right there in her eyes. And I could've just stayed there forever. I felt like I had 100% of her attention in that moment and it ripped right through me down to my core like nothing I have ever felt before.
Actor Jim Carrey described his experience a little more succinctly: "I was feeling down about life 'n' love. Then I met a woman named Ammachi and she gave me back my smile. Darkness cannot compete with her. :^)"

According to her website, Amma's hugging-habit was forged early in life. After her mother became gravely ill when she was just nine years old, Amma began going door-to-door gathering food scraps (a recent Times profile notes that, according to her authorized biography, she survived during this time "by eating whatever she could find, a diet that included shards of glass and human feces"). It was around this time that "Amma also began to spontaneously embrace people to comfort them in their sorrow. Responding to her affectionate care, they began to call her Amma (Mother)."
See also: Darshan, the Embrace.
Amma has parlayed her hugging into a burgeoning spiritual empire, one that reportedly rakes in $20 million a year. Much of that money goes to charitable projects. The Times, for example, notes that when a tsunami hit southern Inda in 2004, Amma's people were on the ground rebuilding five days before the government got there.
Amma is not without controversy, though. The spiritual leader has been accused misusing funds and of leading a cult. (To the latter charge she answers, "If you think love is a cult, then I can't do anything. My religion is love.")
Need a hug? Here's how it works.
The token line opens today at 9 a.m. Amma will arrive at 11 a.m. The guru will perform a short meditation before beginning to give out hugs at 11:30. Organizers expect Amma will continue hugging until about 5 p.m. Programs on Friday and Saturday will follow a similar format, except on Saturday, Amma will open the program with the Atma Puja--"a ritual ceremony for world peace." For more details, check out the guru's website.
Correction: An earlier version of this post stated that Amma lost her mother at the age of 9, forcing her to leave school to help care for her family. In fact, Amma's mother was only gravely ill.

Quick process of a fox skull that I did a while ago.
from anatomical point of view, this skull of a fox is wrong. fox's skull supposed to me quite longer than that. (just saying, no offence, i had to do an autecological report on a fox)
so nice. its really cool looking.
Great technique!
I like the third step down on the left, detailed enough to get the gist of the forms, yet the roughness of the texture there seems to suggest the nature of bone more strongly to me than the smoother final stage. Well done, regardless. Thanks peeks into your process!

Cowboys Bent on Conversation Can't Say Neigh to the Latest Equine-Opportunity Pay Phone
Now there's the new West, though, and cowboys with an urge to reach out and touch someone have the benefit of all the very latest in technology. All a saddle-sore cowpoke has to do is get down off his horse, amble into a phone booth and—whoa! Wait a gol-darned minute! Turns out that some of today's cowboys don't want to get down off their horses. Take the hard-bitten crew at the Lazy E Ranch in Guthrie, Okla., for instance.
Their complaints about the difficulties of interpersonal telecommunications reached the ears of Gail Monsey, who caters to the cowboys' coiffure needs at her barbershop in nearby Edmond. Monsey told her husband, Mark, who is a manager for Selzee Inc., a firm that installs pay telephones for Southwestern Bell. Mark and a technician friend, Dale Brouderick, quickly came up with the solution—the very first Phone from Horse—and lassoed Southwestern Bell into the idea.
Now the Lazy E, a 300-acre breeding facility and training center 30 miles north of Oklahoma City, has three pay phones mounted at cowboy-on-horse level (80 inches above the ground, compared with the usual 54 inches). Each phone has an extra-long cord, in case the horse gets fidgety during a long-winded conversation.
Sandi Striegel, who runs the country store at the Lazy E, says, "This gives new meaning to the term quarter horse." And, she says, the Phone from Horse has begun to attract tourists: "They think it's a regular pay phone, then they walk up to it and can't reach it. Then it dawns on them, 'Oh, phone from horse,' and they just love it and have to have their picture taken with it."
Now if only someone would build a trot-through fast-food outlet, life on the range would be plumb civilized.

The impact of recession on airports' cost efficiency
The recent economic downturn took a severe toll on the aviation industry, leading to a significant contraction in air transport demand. In spite of that, airports' operating costs did not mirror the declining traffic trends and continued to increase during the same period. This paper sought to estimate the impact of the recession on airports' cost efficiency and financial performance. This is achieved by estimating the industry's short-run cost frontier over a balanced pool database of 194 airports observed between 2007 and 2009. Results show that airports struggled to control operating costs during the recession. Efficiency losses were estimated to be in excess of USD 5.5 billion, contributing to a significant reduction in industry operating margin. Results also suggest that airports that are corporatised and have not pursued extensive out-sourcing of activities are better able to manage their costs during periods of economic recession.

Comments about 'Sen. Bernie Sanders: Why is the government subsidizing Walmart?'
- Oldest first

- Most recommended
I think those of us who a self-described "conservatives" have a hard
time listening to Mr. Sanders.
Yet he is absolutely right. Wal-Mart is one the biggest government leeches there are. They intentionally work people just less than the required time to be considered a "full-time" employee so they don't have to offer health insurance. Many employees are forced to use WIC, food stamps and other government assistance programs.
Obviously I would encourage all Wal-Mart employees to go out and get an education so you don't have to depend on them. Make yourself more marketable to employers to the point where people must pay you more to have you. With no skills, you aren't marketable.
I worked there for awhile 3 years ago. As a 27 year old who just finished college I now make more than the general manger of the store I worked at. My advice to employees: get out. While legal, Wal-Mart will intentionally push the boundaries of what they can get away with. Success is good, but not at the expense of the government subsidies.

Great observation, one that has been made many times on these comments.
The notion that he wealthy are a precious commodity and can't afford to pay people what they are worth, while raking in obscene profits is offensive. The fact that they encourage their employees to seek government assistance is sickening.
Walmarts not alone, there's an epidemic of selfishness among our precious wealthy, encouraged by the "I built it all by myself, for I am an island in the sea of humanity.
They are incorrect, and at some point the other 90% who work for a living (if history repeats) will clear the slate for a better system, one where the citizens, not the corporate elite and a few ultra wealthy families run the country.

I think that Bernie may have also mentioned that the 6 main Walmart heirs have a
combined net worth greater than the bottom 41% of American citizens!
How's that for income inequality?

'Sen. Bernie Sanders: Why is the government subsidizing Walmart?'
"The idea that anybody could suggest that we are not seeing massive income and wealth inequality is beyond my comprehension," Sanders said in his opening remarks.
Later he invokes the Walton family, the richest family in the world and the founders of Walmart, asking the panel if the wealthiest family in America should receive government assistance.
He answered his own question. "It turns out that they are the largest recipient of welfare in America because when you pay workers starvation wages, which is what Walmart does, how do the workers at Walmart survive?"
He goes on say that these workers collect benefits from the government because Walmart doesn't pay them enough. So in essence, he tells the panel that Walmart takes welfare.
Amen, Amen & AMEN!
God Bless Sen. Sanders

@ Ronnie W.
Well said, and congratulations. On another note, don't shop or partronize Wal-Mart. As citizens we can speak with our wallets as well. Their earnings annoucement yesterday was poor and the company is not doing well because more and more people have decided to take their money elsewhere.

The problem is that Wal Mart is just the biggest example. You think Shopko, Kmart or Target employee's get paid any better? Same on the fast food side, pretty much every major chain outside of In-N-Out pays these same kind of wages. Something has to change.

The CEO of Wal-Mart makes as much in an hour as a typical Wal-Mart employee makes in a year. The direct heirs of Sam Walton get as much in dividend income every single minute as an average employee makes in a year. But they can't afford to pay more than starvation wages?

I have always been fundamentally opposed to raising the minimum wage because I dislike government intrusion into the free market. However, as I've thought about it this morning, it would be the vital first step toward removing what Mr. Sanders has accurately described as "corporate welfare". BUT, this first step should under no circumstances be initiated without the accompanying second step, which is a matching (based on income level) increase in the threshold to qualify for all forms of government welfare/assistance. If the government money is not removed from the marketplace at the same time the private money is added, then the prices of goods and services will rise because people have more money to spend. If this happens the higher prices businesses inevitably pass along to consumers, to compensate for the higher wages, will not be balanced by reductions in our taxpayer funded entitlement programs; which will still be as crippling and unsustainable as they are today. Furthermore, any money saved by raising entitlement qualifications should be automatically applied to reducing the national debt and not simply reallocated to another spending program. Spread the word.

One thing that is missing here is that the 10.10 minimum wage set by Obama for federal workers is lower than the beginning wage for Walmart employees. So it does nothing to relieve the problem of the workers there.

Simple solution:
U.S. government hire all the unemployed workers at a living wage. Lay a tax on all American business to pay the full cost of the program. Employers would have to pay the living wage in order to get any workers at all. Employers could reduce the tax by hiring all the workers.
Further, get the employer out of the employee's personal business. No more phony benefits like health insurance, retirement or profit sharing to hide the lack of real pay.
Get business out of government. Stop political campaigns and lobbies.
Provide real tax reform.
In other words give the people's government to the will of the people.

The problem with the 'free market' is by definition, you will always
have winners and losers, and society has to pick up the pieces for all the
"losers" who get marginalized by their lack of skills and power to
command better wages. Walmart is often ranked as the most powerful corporation
on the face of the planet (sometimes switching with Exxon-Mobile for that
honor), so workers have little say on their bargaining power for more pay.
I read that Walmart has significant turnover simply because it is cheaper to simply let "experienced" workers go and bring/train in new people to replace them than pay the higher salaries for more productive workers. It's not what is taught in business schools, but workers can't tell companies what to do. It's sad when your fate as an employee is at the mercy to managers more concerned with "corporate policy" regardless of logic.
I'll give Walmart credit, however. Last November, it had a food drive for their employees and that helped their workers have a better Thanksgiving. Very thoughtful!

Bernie has one thing right: Subsidizing Wal-Mart has nothing to do with Capitalism. However, the other part of just as faulty. Federal government involvement in minimum wage is socialistic and ends up keeping the poor poor! For the most part, business loves minimum wage because they will just raise their prices. Even Bernie understands this, which is why it is a charade. What does it really matter to him? He's a millionaire and doesn't care about the poor! In the end, he gets to live off the labor of millions who are keep in poverty by government fiat! Unfortunately, many Americans are fooled by this false charity by politicians. Wake up America!

I'm not sure where you found your information but pay scale.com lists the following wages for Walmart employees.
Sales associate $7.61-$12.64
Pharmacy tech $8.77-$14.42
Overnight stocker $7.77-$13.00
It looks like they are starting at about the same wages I was making in the summer of 1976 working heavy construction, to pay for college!

The socialists and class warriors are up early today.
I urge all the generous people criticizing Walmart to start their own business and pay people whatever their generous hearts consider to be "adequate" wages, and not keep a dime for their own efforts.
"The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money to spend."
Will anyone criticize the big sports stars for the megabucks they get paid and do not share with everyone else? Or entertainment stars? Or, is it only people who work hard in real businesses providing essential goods and services and JOBS who are the bad guys.

You force Wallmart to raise the minimum wage to $10 and Wallmart reacts - like any other business - by laying off workers and raising the prices of their products. Now EVERYONE gets hurt. Socialists should NEVER be allowed to influence economic policy!! Socialist refuse to allow the free market to set the wages because they don't believe in the free market...never have. There is NOTHING in a Socialist's mind that has anything to do with protecting freedom..nothing. If Wallmart starts losing employees due to low wages then Wallmart will increase their pay on their own...that is called Capitalism and competition in the free market. Liberalism is all about FORCE. Capitalism is all about freedom of choice. America was born as a free country. Socialism equates to bankruptcy.

The fact is that business pays for every person in the United States of America.
Only now, business forces the employed workers to pay for the unemployed
workers food, clothing and shelter out of the wages of employed workers.
Full employment guaranteed by the government under the plan I proposed would:
Cause a great reduction if not the complete elimination of poverty, welfare, charity, food stamps and improve the chances for equal opportunity for all people.
Not do away with Capitalism and the possibility for a person to excel in wealth.
Not take away any freedom from people, only from business who has no need for freedom.
Provide a more stable economy by preventing the antics of business to prevent a free market.

And where would "the government" get the money to pay everyone for everything?
You are back to taking earnings from the hard working "makers" and idealistically giving it to the "takers." Basically full fledged communism.
No one is forced to work at Walmart. They are free to work for Ultra Bob at his generous wage levels if they want to.

A study found that to raise minimum wage to 10 dollars, Walmart would have to increase prices of their products around 1-2%. That's not crippling at all. Costco manages this just fine.

In 2009, Cleveland's Dylan Baldi began writing and recording lo-fi power-pop songs in his parents' basement, dubbing the project Cloud Nothings. His music quickly started making the Internet rounds, and fans and critics alike took note of his pithy songcraft, infectiously catchy melodies, and youthful enthusiasm. Baldi soon released a string of 7"s, a split cassette, and an EP before putting out 'Turning On'—a compilation spanning about a year's worth of work—on Carpark in 2010. January 2011 saw the release Cloud Nothings' self-titled debut LP, which, put next to 'Turning On', found Baldi cleaning up his lo-fi aesthetic, pairing his tales of affinitive confusion with a more pristine aural clarity. In the interval since the release of Cloud Nothings, Baldi has toured widely and put a great deal of focus on his live show, a detail that heavily shapes the music of his follow-up album, 'Attack on Memory'.
After playing the same sets nightly for months on end, Baldi saw the rigidity of his early work, and he wanted to create arrangements that would allow for more improvisation and variability when played on the road. To accomplish this desired malleability, the entire band decamped to Chicago—where the album was recorded with Steve Albini—and all lent a hand in the songwriting process. The product of these sessions is a record boasting features that, even at a glance, mark a sea change in the band's sound: higher fidelity, a track clocking in at almost nine minutes, an instrumental, and an overall more plaintive air. The songs move along fluidly, and Baldi sounds assured as he brings his vocals up in the mix, allowing himself to hold out long notes and put some grain into his voice. Minor key melodies abound, drums emphatically contribute much more than mere timekeeping, and the guitar work is much more adventurous than that of previous releases.

I'm trying to connect up a Win8 Toshiba Laptop to a WAG54G wireless router. When I browse in Win8 for wireless networks, I can see other surrounding networks, but not my SSID.
I have tested with my iPhone 4S and a Windows 7 Desktop which can both see and connect to the network without a problem, so I'm thinking this might be a Win8 issue? A friend has recently tried with his Toshiba Win8 Laptop as well, which also didn't work.

Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWR
~ Orchestra
The Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra (German: Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWR) is an orchestra based in Stuttgart in Germany. The ensemble was founded in 1945 by American occupation authorities as the orchestra for Radio Stuttgart, under the name Sinfonieorchester von Radio Stuttgart (Symphony Orchestra of Radio Stuttgart). The radio network later became the Süddeutscher Rundfunk (SDR, South German Radio), and the orchestra changed its name in 1949 to the Sinfonieorchester des Süddeutschen Rundfunks (South German Radio Symphony Orchestra). In 1959, the orchestra took on the name Südfunk-Sinfonieorchester, and acquired its current name in 1975.
Like many broadcast orchestras in Germany, the orchestra has a reputation for performing contemporary music. Past principal conductors included Sir Neville Marriner (1983–1989), who later held the title of principal guest conductor. Georges Prêtre, who became the orchestra's artistic director in 1996, has the title of Conductor Laureate. From 1998 to 2011, Roger Norrington was principal conductor, and incorporated his ideas of historically informed performance, including minimal use of vibrato, into the orchestra's style of playing. Norrington now shares the title of Ehrendirigent (honorary conductor) with Georges Prêtre. In March 2010, the orchestra announced the appointment of Stéphane Denève as its next principal conductor, starting with the 2011-2012 season. His initial contract was for 3 years. In June 2013, the orchestra announced the extension of Denève's contract through the 2015-2016 season.
In June 2012, the SWR Broadcasting Council voted to approve a measure proposed by SWR Intendant Peter Boudgoust to merge the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra with the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra, for ostensible reasons of budgetary limitations for two separate orchestras affiliated with the SWR. The SWR Broadcasting Council formally passed the measure in September 2012, with the merger of the two orchestras scheduled to occur in 2016. International protests at the proposal have emerged.
The orchestra has recorded for several labels, including Hänssler and ECM New Series.

County: Somerset
Other teams: Hampshire, England U19
Batting Style: Right-hand bat
A dynamic wicketkeeper, Bates joined Hampshire at the age of nine and went on to be an integral part of their domestic T20-winning sides in 2010 and 2012. Bates claimed his third winner's medal with the club in 2012 when he showed nerves of steel to stand up to Kabir Ali's match-winning dot ball in the Clydesdale Bank 40 final. Initially frustrated by both a lack of runs and the presence of the ever-reliable Nic Pothas, the South African's departure at the end of 2011 saw Bates become a mainstay in all forms of the game.

The City has broadcast its City Council meetings on its web site since 2006, and it now plans to do webcasts of its land use boards, too.
Meetings held by the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals and Design Review Commission will all be shown starting immediately.
Also, City Council members say that the city's Internet site will be updated in May.
"Unfortunately, there are always some in our community that continue to argue City Hall operates behind closed doors," Mayor Scott Johnson said. "We will always do whatever is available to promote and lay bare open government, at all levels."
The webcasts come at a good time for interested residents and non-residents. Johnson's highly controversial recreation center is set to be heard by the Zoning Board of Appeals at 6 p.m. March 25. Opponents are set to flood the meeting with their concerns.
As for the webcasts, I highly recommend you tune in. You can do other things while listening to what's happening in City Hall, like, say, write deadline stories. 😉

Answered: [CHARTS-356] Sencha Touch Charts 'background' not working to change bg color
So I've been working with ST for a few weeks now and just started looking at the Charts portion. I have a Line chart going and I'd like to change the background; while attempting to learn this I've decided to start slow and try and just change the color, that is not going well.
Below is my onReday function, I've combined a few tutorials but can't get this the way I'd like. The background : {fill:'red'}, portion seems to do NOTHING. Even though that is from the charts docs.
onReady: function () { Ext.Viewport.add(new Ext.chart.Chart({ renderTo: Ext.getBody(), fullscreen: true, animate: true, background: { fill: 'red' }, store: store, axes: [{ type: 'Numeric', position: 'left', fields: ['data1'], title: 'RAPID3', grid: true, increment: 5, minimum: 0, }, { type: 'Time', position: 'bottom', fields: ['name'], title: '', dateFormat: 'M d', }], series: [{ type: 'line', axis: 'left', xField: 'name', yField: 'data1', }] })); }
I see sencha charts is attached to 2.1 and was refactored. I might as well consider this closed. I was able to hack highcharts into my app anyway. Not entirely sure how it ended up working, but it did and is possible.

This may be related to what I found for an earlier post about the stroke-width of a chart:
There is a theme built into at least the debug version of charts. I don't think it's being overwritten properly when we change attributes (like above).

Is there any update on whether this has been fixed and if there is any workaround. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Near or Farsighted? - 08-25-2013, 12:01 AM
Anyone else here where them? Are you nearsighted or farsighted?
I'm nearsighted (meaning I CAN see close up, have difficulties seeing things clearly from a distance). I have a pair of glasses, but I don't wear them often. I don't see the point in wearing them around my house. My vision isn't THAT bad.
When I do wear them though, I'm amazed at the clarity of everything. My nearsightedness happened gradually over the course of middle school / high school years. I noticed that whenever a teacher used an overhead projector, it was becoming harder to read. First I couldn't read any green marker used, then I couldn't read red marker either. Soon I could only read it if they used black, until finally I couldn't read anything on the overhead or even the chalkboard (or whiteboard, in some classes) unless I was at the front of class.

Wow -- this was really exotic and delicious! Only used 1 pound of fish (haddock); really would have benefited from the full 1-1/3 pounds, so don't shortchange unless you have to. Also couldn't get palm sugar or Vietnamese mint, living where I do (the back of beyond), so made appropriate substitutions. A little squirt of Sriracha sauce, and voila! Will certainly make this again.

WRC 2012: Local knowledge key to international growth
By Petah Marian | 20 September 2012
The degree to which retailers tailor their offer to local markets emerged as a key theme at the Wold Retail Congress yesterday (19 September) - and it seems there are as many different strategies as there are retailers.
Abercrombie & Fitch, for instance, runs all of its operations from its headquarters in Ohio in the US, with minimal changes from market to market, according to its CFO Jonathan Ramsden.
The teen retailer believes that having a consistent offer around the world is key to its success, with the main difference in the sizing curves implemented across each country.
The company works to leverage the "iconic nature of the brand" when it enters new markets says Ramsden, ensuring that consumers in Tokyo or New York have exactly the same experience in its stores.
This strategy has seen international sales grow to account for some 30% of the total, compared to 10% just four years ago.
Ramsden said the company's approach to market entries is that "if the model doesn't work, move on". That said, to eliminate as many risks as possible it can take two years to set up operations before stepping in to a new country.
Abercrombie & Fitch's strategy is unusual, with the general consensus being for retailers to tailor their offers to the markets they are entering.
Jose Gomez, VP of business development at Spanish fashion retailer Mango, said it "never takes things for granted" when it enters new markets.
He explained the brand will customise the experience for new markets, but not "too much" to ensure it maintains its DNA.
This idea of maintaining your DNA abroad is echoed by Dow Famulak, president of LF Europe. He says that the sourcing group's branded business adapts its offer across markets, but ensures that it understands what is important to the celebrities and brands it works with and stays close to that when it enters new markets.
Henry Stupp, the CEO of Cherokee, which sells licensed products to retailers across the world, including Target Stores, Tesco, emphasises that "bilingualism is not bi-culturalism" and part of its service is to offer its retailers support and tailored local knowledge in the markets they operate in.
One thing that most retailers agree on is that the first steps into a new country have to be good, because any early missteps are hard to come back from.
"Poor localisation results not just in abandoned customers but in vanished customer loyalty, corporate reputations, disengaged distributed channels and a low chance of recovery," said Allyson Stewart-Allen, the chief executive of International Marketing Partners.
She warns retailers against underestimating the importance of applying local knowledge.
Speaking to just-style, she said executives responsible for a market need to spend at least six months living there to ensure they understand the nuances of the local culture.
Stewart-Allen says one of the main mistakes that companies make is assuming that consumers are the same everywhere, and not accounting for variations in taste and needs within a country.
"One assumption they make is that weather or regional differences aren't significant, and they really are," she sais.
Indeed, Dieter Holzer, the CEO of German retailer Tom Tailor, emphasised that there needs to be a culture of support for retailers' international operations - for instance, ensuring that if territories ask for items in different colourways that they receive them.
"You can't wait for countries to grow to give them what they need. If countries don't get what they need, they won't grow," he said.

Skip to comments.Father 'beat man to death after catching him molest his four-year-old daughter'
Posted on 06/11/2012 2:16:07 PM PDT by Sopater
A father beat a man to death after catching him molest his four-year-old daughter in a barn.
The man - whose name has not been released to protect his daughter - allegedly beat the attacker over the head when he pulled him off his child after discovering them in a barn in Lavaca County, Texas. Sheriff Micah Harmon said the victim, a 47-year-old Gonzales man, died at the scene. His name will not been released until his next-of-kin are notified.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Did a Grand Jury in Florida indict Zimmerman?
Minor caveat.
No grand jury or other judicial body has yet determined this is actually what happened.
It would not be impossible for someone to kill a guy and then claim he caught him molesting his daughter.
Given the specifics of the story, that's not likely in this case, but should be kept in mind as a general rule. Killers don't always tell the truth.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Hope the perp's name wasn't Trayvonio Martinez.
This is worthy of a soda and popcorn when reading it.....tragedy that it even had to happen and the little girl exposed to an animal like that...however, she will remember what a good dad is for.
Why would they complain? The pervert died of natural causes.
Just saying. You know how those org's have to come out in defense of their people.
J u s t i c e !
Yeah, but the smelter smelled kinda funny for a couple days afterwards. Never did figure that out. Oh well.
"When I use a word it means exactly what I choose it to mean''— The Red Queen, Alice in Wonderland.
The Perv/perp was an aquaintence of the father/daughter. The father was protecting his daughter.
Apparently, the perv was a horse groomer and while everyone was in the barn - the guy went in the house and assaulted the little girl. The girls father went back in the house and caught him.
From a different article, It sounds as if the victim is hispanic. They described the grandfather having broken english.
Not guilty
Dunno if I'm a dinosaur or what, but I think anyone who has penetration sex with a prepubescent boy or girl should be subject to the death penalty.
Don't know how far this molestation went, but if it was obvious to Dad what the slime was doing, Dad was fully justified and is a hero.
"Dunno if Im a dinosaur or what"
Probably not. According to science, why the outrage against pedophiles, you're just a happy coincidence of gravity, how can you be offended by a bad mix of molecules.
I'm a full-blooded Neaderthal myself....Do I get any special consideration? Last of the species I am.
Based upon Dan Savage's belief, he being a normal homosexual, there are "Good Pedophiles".
Hell and Death have an urgency....they see their expiration date expiring with the Lord's return.
...after discovering them in a barn in Lavaca County, Texas. Sheriff Micah Harmon said the victim, a 47-year-old Gonzales man, died at the scene...Obviously this 47-year-old victim would be alive today if it weren't for this psycho dad. /s

'American Juggalo' gives uncomfortably hilarious insight into Gathering of the Juggalos
Partying is partying, but there's a point in even the hardest and least compromising of undergraduate parties where partying gives way to something akin to communion, when people stop abusing substances and stagger onto the 3 a.m. Straight Talk Express. Chemical intensities fade to zero, or nearly zero. Postures give way to zombified half-smirks. "Real talk" becomes something more than an urban vernacular punctuation mark. And amid smashed windows and trashed bungalows and dozens of sticky red plastic cups, people just start sharing all sorts of deeply personal stuff about themselves with perfect strangers: their prejudices, their fears, how they broke laws of man and God alike over and over again, the liberties taken, the misdemeanors narrowly sidestepped. It's almost as though the one-two-punch of intoxication and physical exhaustion are temporarily enough to demolish the psychic walls that divide us.
Sean Dunne's American Juggalo may - and I stress, may - resonate with readers who have experienced similar social phenomena. Much of this 23-minute film, shot on location at this year's Gathering of the Juggalos - an annual festival where Insane Clown Posse fans vociferously celebrate being Insane Clown Posse fans - is given over to the voluntary and enthusiastic giving of "real talk," much of it shared while under the influence of several narcotics simultaneously. The difference, of course, is that much of this sharing goes on in broad daylight and that most of those doing the sharing are at least a decade old enough to know better than to pursue lifestyles that involve chronic, wanton brain-cell erasure.
Dunne's picture is alternately sobering, disturbing, enlightening, inspiring, and uncomfortably hilarious. Watch, and... learn. And, um, this is resolutely NSFW.
American Juggalo from Sean Dunne on Vimeo.
00:24 A grown, shirtless man in a transparent plastic clown mask is pouring a two-liter of Faygo over his own head in slow motion. Is it possible that he's right, and we've got everything wrong?
01:12 Grossly overweight Juggalo displays mad headbanging skills, has no clue that his appearance here is iconic shorthand for this film and is somehow representative of everything that's wrong with Western Civilization. Runner-up: hacky-sack happy, not-quite-so-grossly overweight Juggalo in full face-paint who shows up a couple seconds later.
02:26 Apparent Juggalo rallying cry "woot wooo!" makes an early appearance. Get ready to hear that a lot.
03:10 A breakdown of the various facets of Juggalo culture reveals that "straight-edge Juggalos" exist, which is probably bullshit; can you really see Fugazi rocking The Gathering?
07:47 So you've probably seen lots of photographs of Juggalos and Juggalettes flaunting impeccably-applied face paint, and you've marveled at the patience and dedication required to get that white, black, green and red paint arrayed just so, almost professionally so - but what you didn't know, until now, is that some Gathering folk forgo face paint altogether. So what do they use instead? Spray paint. Yeah.
12:47 "Waiting on a kidney transplant - I have a rare blood type, I can't get a transplant right now. So it's just a bad luck story." It's discomfiting to know that this Oklahoma Juggalo is in the throes of renal failure; is it discomfiting to think about him meeting his end at the Gathering in a crazed, Dionysian bout of partying? I'm not so sure; because the dude is so happy. The sense of belonging and contentment he and so many other Juggalos extol here is enviable; in conversations, the word "family" surfaces more than "woot woo," and everyone who uses it - usually while fondling a blunt - is deeply in earnest.
16:30 Good news, mythical albino hobgoblins cobble together and disseminate shitty email forwards: there's no need to hunt down "the worst mother of 2011 A.D." - she's right here, on this video that will exist online forever, for everyone in the world to gasp at.
17:22 Well, fuck me. Straight-edge Juggalos!
19:00 Beer bongs already weren't that cool; now they're that much less cool.
20:51 Perhaps you felt somewhat shortchanged by the dearth of garish face paint on display in this movie. A brief visit with this family - a literal family, in the nuclear sense - of intensely made-up Juggalos may help make up for that, or it may make you fear for humanity.
22:30 Did you get enough "woot woot"? No? Here's some for the road; no, really, take some! We've got loads.

Wilson, Carrier take their spots in state's sports Hall of Fame
Published: Saturday, June 26, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 25, 2010 at 10:06 p.m.
NATCHITOCHES — Larry Wilson and Mark Carrier played different sports in different eras at Nicholls State.
Wilson was a three-time Division II All-American basketball player for the Colonels from 1976-79, and Carrier was standout receiver for Nicholls (1983-86) and in the NFL.
But as of tonight, both athletes will forever be linked as members of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame's 2010 class.
Wilson and Carrier will be formally enshrined into the Hall along with prep football coaching legends J.T. Curtis and Lee Hedges, Louisiana Tech women's basketball star Teresa Weatherspoon, LSU baseball great Ben McDonald, former NBA star Orlando Woolridge and former Louisiana-Monroe basketball coach Mike Vining. The ceremony will be held tonight at the Natchitoches Events Center.
"I wasn't expecting it," said Wilson, a Raceland native and former Central Lafourche High standout.
"When I found out that I made it to the Hall of Fame, it didn't hit me right away. It really didn't hit me until last week."
Wilson and Carrier join two other former Colonel greats — football player Gary Barbaro (class of 2000) and baseball player Darryl Hamilton (class of 2008) — in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.
Carrier said going in the Hall of Fame the same year as Wilson is truly an honor.
"When I got to Nicholls, I heard stories about how great of a basketball player Larry was," Carrier said.
"It's such an honor to share this with him. This is such a great day for Nicholls."
Wilson made a name for himself on the basketball courts at Central Lafourche and Nicholls.
He averaged 32.1 and 33.5 points per game in his junior and senior years, respectively, and was a two-time Class 4A All-State player. He was also the Class 4A Most Valuable Player as a senior in 1975.
At Nicholls, Wilson continued to light up the scoreboard and scored a school- and Gulf South Conference-record 2,569 points with an average of 25.7 points per game. He was also a three-time Division II All-American and two-time conference player of the year.
Don Landry, Wilson's coach at Nicholls, said the honor is long overdue.
"Larry is one of the greatest high school players in Louisiana history and one of the greatest college players in Louisiana history," Landry said. "I'm glad that he was recognized for that and is going in for that."
If not for a knee injury, Wilson may have had a chance to take his basketball talents to the next level. In the 1979 NBA draft, the Atlanta Hawks selected Wilson with the 34th overall pick, but he never got a chance to showcase his talents after stretching ligaments in his knee.
Wilson tried out for the Washington Bullets the next season, but the knee pain persisted, so he decided to end his basketball career.
"It bothered me when it first happened because I knew it ended one of my dreams," he said. "I decided to just go on and move ahead with my life because I knew basketball could not last forever."
Wilson said being recognized for his basketball achievements is quite an honor, but it's something he wants to share with many who have supported him over the years.
"Whatever award I get it's something not just for me," he said. "It's for everybody in my neighborhood, everybody in my hometown and everybody along Bayou Lafourche. Those are the people that supported me throughout my career."
Making to the Hall of Fame was also unexpected for Carrier, but he followed the path God has paved for him over the years.
Carrier's path to the Hall of Fame started at Church Point High School, but he made a name for himself as an All-American receiver the Colonels. During his senior season in 1986, Carrier finished with 76 catches for 1,513 yards and 20 scores.
That type of production led Carrier to the NFL, as he was selected in the third round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was picked in the same draft as former Heisman Trophy winner and Miami, Fla., quarterback Vinny Testaverde.
Carrier said the day he was drafted is one he will never forget.
"On draft day, I went to class and my teacher asked what I was doing in class," he said. "He gave me the day off and I watched the draft with my teammates. It was a humbling experience because I was given an opportunity to play professional football."
Carrier played seasons in the NFL with the Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers. He finished his career with 569 catches for 8,763 yards and 48 touchdowns, which included a Pro Bowl season with the Buccaneers in 1989.
Playing in the NFC for the majority of his career gave Carrier an opportunity to go against one of his favorite teams growing up — the New Orleans Saints.
"Growing up, I always dreamed of playing for the Saints," he said. "Unfortunately that didn't happen, and every time I went to New Orleans I wanted to show them that they made a mistake."
Getting to the Hall of Fame, however, was not a mistake for Carrier, and it's an honor he will never forget and always cherish.
"Without a doubt it's a big honor," he said. "In a million years I never imagined that this would happen. You just play the game you love and try to do your best and try to be the best. This is just icing on the cake."

Most Recent Kidney Belts Reviews
See all reviews for this product EVS BB1 Celtek Kidney Belt James - Vallejo, CA, USA "Works great for back support, but the main reason I bought this was to prevent me from getting another hernia. About a year ago I was riding my bicycle at the skatepark and the handlebars jabbed me right in the gut, tore the muscle and had a big lump of intestine hanging out of place. Got all patched up and I'm fine now but it almost happened again on the dirtbike a few weeks ago, so I got this kidney belt which has 3 layers of elastic in front so it has very good support, if the bars ever poke me again this belt should spread the impact so the muscle doesn't tear as easily."

I Summon Rivers by UltimateTatttsWatch

I'm a little late but...amazing piece man!
Gorgeous work .
you are a BA force to reckon with.
POW. Bang! BOOOOOMMMMM!! you know you murdered this theme. As long as there is water in one of your pieces you will most likely win lol. With your strongest piece to date in these battles you are making a statement for sure. Your progression is maddening.... looking back at your first submission in battles fav.me/d6ot6pv... really great work. Quickly becoming one of my favorite artist with hits like this...
I too feel i made a huge jump, and honestly I only saw that happening since I joined this group.
I was feeling the pressure since my korra piece made such a huge impression, and it was difficult to achieve that level of detail making water look like water while having water rhinos blended in it. AND besides all this I was kinda scared people would go like "oh here he comes again with the water smashing in... nothing new" and then looking at my opponents piece looking so fresh. But I'm really happy everyone liked it and sure I don't want to be the "water guy" (lol) , so bring it on new elements, I'm ready to be challenged!
You kill
Thanks man!
Such an honor and a shame we had to go head to head so early in the contest. I absolutely love your piece, reminds me so much of the belgian comic books. Such a great vibe to it, which is something i rarely see here on DA.
<3 <3 <3
This is incredible, awesome work
Adoro o bicharoco enraivecido no topo. Muito bom Gui, como sempre, e num prazo tão apertado.
definitly an impressive way to set this up.
As soon as I read those 3 words this came to my mind!
beautiful work
outstanding piece!
Dayum, sir
You got such cool vibes
Freaking sweeeet!

Patrice Tonda
|This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. (February 2009)
Patrice Tonda is a Gabonese politician and diplomat. He served in the government of Gabon as Minister of Housing from 2007 to 2008 and then as Minister of Trade and Industrial Development, in charge of NEPAD, from 2008 to 2009.
Early career and teaching[edit]
Tonda is an engineer with a degree in experimental physics. After working at a uranium mining company as Deputy Director-General beginning in 1981, he was appointed as a special adviser on mining to President Omar Bongo in 1988, and he was professor of industrial economics at the Institut National Supérieur de Gestion, part of the University of Libreville, from 1989 to 1990. Subsequently he worked in Belgium as the CEO of Wongo International and professor of experimental physics at l'Athénée Royal d'Ath from 1991 to 1993.[1]
Diplomatic career[edit]
Tonda became Gabon's Ambassador to Senegal in 1996, and in 1997 he was additionally accredited as Ambassador to Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, The Gambia, and Guinea. He was appointed as Permanent Representative of Gabon to the United Nations at Geneva in 2003; while remaining Permanent Representative to the United Nations at Geneva, he was also appointed as Permanent Representative to United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), based in Vienna, in 2006. He presented his credentials as Permanent Representative to UNIDO on 23 November 2006.[1]
Following extended negotiations, the United Nations Human Rights Council appointed Tonda as one of six members of a team to investigate violence in Darfur in late January 2007. The composition of the team, which was headed by Jody Williams, was the result of a compromise between Western countries, which had a very critical view of the Sudanese government's actions, and African and Arab countries, which were more sympathetic to the Sudanese government.[2] The members of the UN team were not given visas and therefore were forced to conduct their research using information available outside of Sudan.[3] Sudan furiously denounced the team, and Tonda returned to Geneva during the team's futile wait for visas.
