New Car Review
Design-ovation: 2014 Toyota Corolla
Corolla? Is that you? The 2014 Toyota Corolla is the latest Toyota model to take styling risks to remain competitive with a market increasingly focusing on form, not just function. After all, if it is going to remain the best-selling car in history, it had better look good, right? Here are the coolest changes Toyota has made to its redesigned Corolla sedan for 2014.
Toyota's Freshest Face
The Corolla's new face may be the best-looking in the car's history, and to some, it even looks better than the new RAV4 and the popular Camry. The Corolla's scowling headlamps feature standard LED low beams -- a first in this segment -- and are elegantly joined by a thin upper grille opening with the Toyota badge set tastefully within it. What looks like a huge lower air intake is, upon closer inspection, actually part bumper, but it nonetheless appears aggressive and dramatic.
Elegant Taillamps
Get used to this rear end: The fuel-efficient Corolla is an excellent commuter car, so you're likely to see many of them ahead of you in traffic. Thankfully, Toyota designed particularly nice-looking taillamps that, like the headlamps, are multi-faceted and visually connected by a horizontal element -- in this case, by a simple crease in the trunk lid.
Unique Side Window Shape
Instead of the usual arch-style roofline with a flat windowsill, the Corolla shakes it up with a rear quarter window (the little triangular window in the rear doors) that actually kicks up. A subtle body crease in the C-pillar starts from the rearmost point of that triangular window and continues to become the top of the trunk. Slick.
Character Lines
A character line shoots from the front wheel arch through the door handles, all the way back to the taillamps. Below that is a body crease that starts just a few inches behind the front wheel arch, rising in the door panels and helping to define the flared rear wheel arch before dropping back down and continuing back to the rear bumper.
Together with the unique window shape, these elements create the Corolla's distinct and sporty-looking side profile and help it look more substantial. It also has a wheelbase nearly four inches longer than that of the outgoing model.
Different Looks for Each Trim Level
The 2014 Toyota Corolla is offered in four trims -- L, LE, LE ECO and S -- each with subtle distinctions. The L is basic but not cheap-looking, with body-color door handles, mirrors and wheel covers. The LE gets more upscale multi-spoke alloy wheels and fog lamps, while LE ECO models get fan-blade-style wheels and a rear spoiler to enhance aerodynamics. The Corolla S is the most interesting to look at, with a unique, deeper-looking lower grille opening that doesn't appear to have a lower lip -- odd but strangely cool. The S model also comes with a rear spoiler, a metal exhaust tip and aggressive wheels with black-painted insets.
Highly Designed Interior
Whereas the outgoing Corolla really played it safe inside, a lot of design happens inside the new one. Many materials are mixed into the Corolla cabin, including metallic and piano-black finishes and high-grade, soft-touch materials. Multiple info screens and blue-lit gauges contribute to the high-tech look, while blue, black or amber pinstriped accents are matched with the dash/door panels. Corolla S models feature a leather-wrapped steering wheel, sport-flavored seat fabric and paddle shifters. Rear passengers enjoy a flat floor and huge legroom thanks to clever exhaust packaging and thin front seatbacks.

Last year I had a knife confiscated on a flight from Des Moines, Iowa back to my home in New York City. To call it a knife is almost a stretch. It was a blade less than one inch long that was part of an antique money clip I used to organize my bills.
Now it's sitting wherever stuff confiscated by the TSA goes. Along with the toddler sunscreen I lost on the way to San Diego. And the yogurt confiscated on the way back from San Diego.

i posted this in the last weekly forum but will repost here for
those interested.
i played one week and lost $2. the problem with daily MLS vs
daily NFL is that MLS games have wildly staggered starts
while NFL games all start at the same times each week. that
means that with the NFL you can set your team and then
check the inactives at 1230 and 330 and be fine. however, to
succeed on DraftKings in MLS, you would need to be
constantly checking lineups before games started and making
last second adjustments. i lack the free time and discipline to
do that, so the hardcore gamblers would likely take my money.
if they would organize leagues similar to MFLS and MLS:FSM
where you could not change your team after the kickoff of the
first game, i bet we would all be very successful on DraftKings.

RE: MLS:FSM. You can change your lineup after kickoff of the 1st MLS game. You've never pulled the ol' switcheroo? from The Laws of Lalas

Reply to This Message
you can't change a guy whose team has played though right?
and you can only pick from your bench. on DKs, you can
change to any guy who hasn't played. if you put in the time
and checked the lineups, DKs is a good bet. i just don't have
the time most weekends to keep checking back. also, if you
are considering it, i suggest you study the scoring. i remember
it seemed to reward guys who took a lot of shots.

To your point, you can kind of do that with the switcheroo. So you have random low ball player who isn't going to play...hopefully as late in the week as possible (Can't really use a guy who's team has a game on Wednesday, for instance). If you have 3 potential subs, you can set it up so your first sub can play his entire game. If you like his score, then great, the autosub puts him in for random spare. Now say this dude gets hurt, or gets a red card, or just sucks in general, then you turn on your subs to manual and put in one of the guys that hasn't played yet. In essence, you got to see what your first sub would do without committing to their output. Make sense? from The Laws of Lalas

I see your point, but I would disagree with it based on the fact that you've been able to do the same thing in the past, and they actually advertised it as a feature on the MLS site. Honestly, I think they see it more as a feature than a glitch. from FC Byrd Turgler

Akindele and Jess Gonzalez won it for me tonight. Gonzo did a good job holding his ground when Javi tried to fake him out on the PK. Great game for the 20 year old.

1. What's your name & Your Company Name
Nieves Rathbun, By Nieves
2. Why did you decide to go into business? What was your motivation? How long have you been in business?
I have been in the natural products industry for two decades. I managed the flagship store for V'tae Parfum & Body Care in Nevada City, Calif., and later worked at Zia Natural Skincare in San Francisco. When my knowledge of cosmetic ingredients made finding products that I wanted to use myself increasingly difficult. I decided to take matters into my own hands. Abiding by the very simple philosophy that products can be made using only beneficial ingredients, I developed a line of products using wholesome time tested ingredients in unique formulations. Happy with the results I started sharing them with friends and now I have a natural handmade body care line produced with organic ingredients and served with a twist. I am delighted to be making a living doing what I love!
3. What products do you make and sell?
Handmade natural body care made with super natural ingredients, sassy sincerity and apothecary style. Everything good, nothing bad. By Nieves products are simple yet effective formulas that produce great results. For an ingredient savvy person it's a relief to read the contents and be able to understand what's in the products.
4. What are your business goals?
I'd like to have more independent spas and boutiques carrying my products, and have more internet retail orders but I'm not really hunting the big guys, slow expansion feels right to me. Currently, By Nieves, is only found in independent stores and employes 4 part-time employees in Petrolia; one part-timer in Oakland. I hope to grow to employ four to 20 people full time, diversify the economy in Petrolia (population 300) and I have a fantasy of it becoming worker-owned!

Detailed with a recent press release on the Kohler site, the Kohler Numi toilet received a smattering of technology upgrades that will make current Numi owners unhappy that they have to upgrade their $6,000 bathroom throne. Originally release during 2011, the Numi 'smart toilet' sported advanced features such as illumination for dark bathrooms, vents to heat your feet, automatic lid and seat height adjustment, built-in rear speakers, a FM radio, a MP3 player connection, a retractable bidet and a touchscreen remote to control all of these fancy features.
However, the 2013 version of Kohler's Numi toilet includes all the previously mentioned features in addition to a Bluetooth receiver to stream audio from a mobile device like a smartphone or tablet, a SD card slot to listen to a specific music playlist or utilize a custom greeting when sitting down on the Numi and a USB port to allow for additional software upgrades in the future. Hypothetically, a user could stream the audio of a television show or movie through the speakers within the toilet while they were watching the video on their mobile device.
Kohler has also modified the lighting options to include seven different colors. Users can program the colors to appear on each day of the week or simply choose one of the colors to stay on all the time. Finally, Kohler added a battery back-up with this model specifically to allow users to continue using all the fancy features on the toilet after the power goes out.
When asked about the added features, Kohler senior product manager Brian Hedlund said "Consumer feedback on the Numi toilet allowed us to identify which additional upgrades were most important to users. The new enhancements will allow for better enjoyment of the functionalities." The Numi toilet is currently listed on Kohler's site for $6653.30 and comes in a single color; white.

NEW YORK (AP) — The All-Star Game will have a Kansas City flavor, just not as much as it appeared last month.
And the hometown Reds can celebrate a starter, too, despite Cincinnati's sorry season.
Houston second baseman Jose Altuve passed Kansas City's Omar Infante in the final days of voting, leaving four Royals as starters for the All-Star Game.
Cincinnati's Todd Frazier leapfrogged St. Louis third baseman Matt Carpenter and will be in the NL starting lineup for the July 14 game at Great American Ball Park, according to final results announced Sunday.
AL champion Kansas City will be represented in the starting lineup by outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordon,...

On July 8 2011 the last of the United States Space Shuttles will ascend into earth orbit for the final time. Some see it as the end of an age of manned space flight, others see it as an opportunity for the private sector to take center stage in a new era of space flight. The next space age will be driven not by governments but by brave entrepreneurs, aerospace startups, open source space ventures and private space consortiums. NASA can no longer be relied upon to take humanity to the stars in any significant way; according to John Kavanagh at Quora "NASA has no plans to replace the entirety of the Space Shuttle's crew, cargo and on-orbit service capabilities with one rocket or spacecraft. The capabilities will be unbundled and replaced separately." Many names and vehicles have been mentioned over the years as possible replacements for the shuttle but what is missing is a clear message, vision and direction from NASA. The Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle touted by NASA seems like a return to 1960's space vehicles and is quite frankly not very visionary or inspiring surely we can do better. What is clear is that NASA represents the past and although its accomplishments and contributions are many its time is over.
Now a new generation of space vehicles has emerged, most notably was the successful flight of Space Ship One a privately built suborbital space plane. Space Ship One demonstrated that you can take a human being into low earth orbit without the budget, bureaucracy or politics of NASA. Many more commercial space vehicles and landers are on the way including; Virgin Galactic Space Ship Two, XCOR Aerospace, Armadillo Aerospace and SpaceX Falcon 9 . With the proper funding and support efforts like these can make the long awaited dream of space travel possible. Once we achieve low earth orbit then what? What about travel to the Moon, Mars and beyond? There have been impressive technological developments in long range propulsion platforms that hold tremendous promise. The VASIMR or Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket is capable of sending a crew to Mars just 39 days, such a capability could make trips to Mars almost routine.

Hello, FBI? I have something here I think is worthy of your notice...
do you know how to contact them?
crazy shit, no?

Cleveland, OH 44114
Phone: (216) 522-1400
Fax: (216) 622-6717
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
That answer your question? Google search took about as much time as it took to type this sentence!
Oh, and BTW: crazy shit - YES ... also Scary shit - YES!
That's business as usual at The Blaze. The members are quite vocal in their lunacy. Maybe they feel safer in numbers.
I've noticed the articles in the Faith section of the Blaze have changed in nature. This change occurred somewhere around 3-5 weeks ago. I see few articles that would interest atheists enough to respond. Maybe this is a momentary lull but it was almost as if a light switch had been flipped.
Is this your impression as well?
At first I thought it had to do with the David Barton fiasco. They've doubled down with the rebuttal books coming out. He refuses to do debates so the yahoos are doing a victory dance and spiking the ball. The last I heard, Chris Rodda was not able to get any traction. Barton's buddy at Wallbuilders.com was avoiding her as well. I'll have to check in and see how that's going.
haven't seen you around there Grub. i don't know, i think that they've kept it up with Atheist stories. i learn more about the FFRF from the Blaze than anywhere else.
It's not that they've stopped doing the atheism stories, they've just reduced the number and changed in nature. For a while, it was a blast, with articles that either taunted or offered an olive branch to the atheists. The taunting type were obviously geared for the peanut gallery. The faux diplomacy shown in the interview with Steiffel was civil yet disturbing. It was nice they asked reasonable questions of him but the overall idea of even doing that on the blaze seemed surreal. The reception in the comments are invariably venomous. I doubt many were swayed that we atheists are not socialist/communist/immoral/amoral/depraved/democrat...
Either way, with every episode, traffic increased and the ensuing debates were hilarious.
For a while I figured they may have canned whoever was in charge of the faith section for being too...open minded...or not being more close minded...or just so.
Maybe it's just a temporary lull. We'll see.
Wow just wow.
I don't understand. Was this controversial comment made by a theist or and atheist?
read it again, and try to see the implication.
I tried to reply to this yesterday but guess it didn't go through. Sorry. I did not read the comments. I am not familiar with blaze.com and now don't wish to be. You were very brave to take on those bozos but spitting in the wind just the same. You know, "You can can't fix stupid."

GREENSBURG (KDKA) — Two Greensburg Salem Middle School students are among the first to be charged under a new state law that regulates sexting among teens.
"A 13-year-old girl took a photo; she was naked from the waist up, took a picture of herself and sent it to a 14-year-old boy at his request," said Detective Sgt. Henry Fontana, of Greensburg Police.
The boy deleted the photo and did not forward it to friends. It was the girl's mother who later found the photo on her phone and called police.
"Under the new law that just went into effect on Christmas Eve, that is a summary offense," said Detective Sgt. Fontana.
The new law creates a tiered system for adjudicating sexting cases that differentiates between those who make bad decisions and those who have bad intentions.
Under the new law, minors over the age of 12 charged for the first time will get a summary citation. A second offense will result in a misdemeanor charge.
Felony child pornography laws remain on the books and could still apply if the photos are distributed with malicious intent.
Attorney Anthony Bompiani, who does not represent anyone involved in the Greensburg Salem case, says this is important for young people who may make a bad decision without realizing the potential consequences.
"Now with the times and the technology and the way students interact between each other, they make mistakes, they make bad judgment calls, stupid calls; and instead of having a felony record, they're going to have a summary offense, which is going to be like a traffic ticket – won't be on the record, it won't affect them later in life," said Bompiani.
The law also provides an important tool for police who previously had no alternative to a child pornography charge when dealing with less serious sexting cases.
"It's still wrong, it's still against the law and the kids need to know that, but this makes it a little easier to cope with," said Detective Sgt. Fontana.

Mean machines and burly bikers didn't draw Amanda White to the world's largest motorcycle rally. She had her sights set on a bow-tied nerd in an ill-fitting gray plaid suit: Pee-wee Herman.
Actor Paul Reubens is reintroducing Pee-wee — his alter ego and 1980s cult character — to fans at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota, which is expected to draw more than 500,000 people this week.
"I call it my Pee-wee pilgrimage," said White, a 29-year-old Minneapolis school teacher who drove 10 hours to the rally and had Reubens autograph her bicycle seat. "I'm a huge Pee-wee fan."
White is not alone. Plenty of Pee-wee fans have flocked to the Buffalo Chip campground outside Sturgis to see Reubens' character perform at a venue also hosting Ozzy Osbourne, Kid Rock, ZZ Top and Bob Dylan.
"Bob Dylan is here because people like him and Pee-wee is here for the same reason," said Buffalo Chip owner Rod Woodruff. "They are both American icons."
Reubens is in Sturgis ahead of a 48-performance Broadway run of the "The Pee-wee Herman Show" that begins Oct. 26 and is based in part on the TV show "Pee-wee's Playhouse." He said he's "never been to anything like this in my life."
"I'm really bowled over by it," he told The Associated Press on Sunday. "There are people from all walks of life here."
Reubens filmed a remake of the infamous "Tequila dance" biker bar scene from his 1985 comedy "Pee-wee's Big Adventure." On Monday, he was slated to participate in various charity events and host what was billed as the world's largest "Tequila dance" to the tune of the 1958 instrumental by the Champs.
But Woodruff said it would be impossible to officially tally the Tequila dancers.
"There is no way we'd be able to certify it as a world record," Woodruff said. "Who would count it?"
Reubens brought the "The Pee-wee Herman Show" to Los Angeles earlier this year for its first production since 1982.
"It sold out the four weeks it played in L.A.," Reubens said. "It was the first time I was on stage in 20-plus years."
He also is co-writing a new Pee-wee film script with writer-director-producer Judd Apatow, whose film credits include "Knocked Up" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin."
At 57, Reubens' face is a little fuller than in his Pee-wee heyday. But he's still convincing as the quick-witted dork, especially his "heh, heh, heh" laugh, goofy stride and kooky facial expressions. He said he had to slim down by several pounds before the Los Angeles performances to be able to squeeze into Pee-wee's already too-tight suit.
Pee-wee merchandise — from beer cozies to bow ties — was being sold to commemorate Reubens' appearance at the Sturgis rally this week.
"It's pretty surprising how popular Pee-wee is," said Buffalo Chip spokesman Michael Sanborn. "I saw a great big burly biker with a Pee-wee doll."
Reubens said he, too, remains amazed at the power of Pee-wee.
"Maybe I can still pull it off at 80," he said, "if the digital retouching is good enough by then."

Future Plans for C#
- Share
- |
Read later
Reading List
At NDC London Mads Torgersen proposed future language changes to C#. It should be noted that these are just proposals and are not guaranteed to make it into any specific release. Damien Guard has posted a summary and brief analysis of these proposals, but for your convenience here are some of the highlights.
Read-Only Properties
Read-only auto properties will allow developers to declare properties and their backing store in a single line.
public int X { get; } = x;
Static Type Using Statements
Visual Basic and Java already allow developers to import modules (C# static class) into the namespace. This allows removing repetitive code such as "Math." in front of commonly used static functions.
Primary Constructors
By placing parameters after the class name, developers will not need to explicitly create a constructor. This removes the tedious code for copying the constructor parameters to private fields.
public class Point(int x, int y) {
private int x, y;
Property and Method Expressions
Property expressions would eliminate some of the boilerplate needed for simple read-only properties.
public double Distance => Math.Sqrt((X * X) + (Y * Y));
Method properties would do the same, expect of course they accept parameters.
Note that parameterized properties are still not under consideration. That remains a VB-only feature for the foreseeable future.
Function Parameters
These days most developers never use arrays expect when needed for the params keyword. So one proposal is to also support the IEnumerable<T> interface with params. If this is done, other languages such as Visual Basic would also need to support it.
Another proposal is to allow local variables to be declared using the out keyword. For example,
int.TryParse("123", out int x);
Null Propagation
When working with messy data, developers often have to write a series of null checks before reading a property or invoking a method. The ?. syntax would eliminate that by conditionally invoking a method if the preceding value is not null.
var bestValue = points?.FirstOrDefault()?.X;
In this case if points is null, or points.FirstOrDefault() returns a null, then the .X is ignored a null is returned instead. This can then be chained with a ?? to supply an alternate default value.
var bestValue = points?.FirstOrDefault()?.X ?? -1;
This sematic is found in "message passing" languages such as Objective-C and Smalltalk. It is commonly cited as being problematic because what would have been a null reference exception is instead silently ignored.

How ugly...
Why not
public int X {get; private readonly set;}
so that the setter can only be invoked from the constructor.

It really depends on the time of year and obviously how overcast it is. Late May through early September, the cliff will be good to go the next day. It won't be completely dry, but dry enough. This time of year, the cliff can easily take several days to dry out.
Yep! And now that the nights are getting longer and colder, the ground will be beginning to seep, so it will take a bit longer to dry than it does in the warmer drier summer months.

Casting Call for Asking for Andre
My "casting call" for
Asking for Andre
is up at Writer's Gone Wild. Come drool over the pictures of Andre Lavin (as played by McDreamy Patrick Dempsey) and Milo Hamilton (as played by Italian hottie Raoul Bova). I went ahead and cast all the recurring characters too so if you've read
Beg for It
, come see if I did the characters justice.
Casting Call for Asking for Andre
In the meantime, since I cast the characters for Anya and James, I might be persuaded to reveal a few details about Book 3 which is their story. You never know...
Happy Reading,

Pimpin' My Girls
Two of my friends have new releases out that are super hot. First up is Emily Ryan-Davis' tale of forbidden love set in the midst of a sultry Virginia summer.
Summer in Virginia burns as hot as Mitchell's desire for sheltered Southern princess Pepper. Between official assignments, Capt. Scott has a private mission—claim the genteel redhead before another man discovers the spicy passion lying dormant beneath Pepper's skittish exterior.
Trust-fund baby Pepper is surrounded by men—her adoptive father, her stepbrothers, her casual romantic companion. All men who want her to f
it the roles they envision.
Only Mitch has ever asked her what she wants. She's going to tell him…as soon as she can think past the scorching press of his body against hers and the overwhelming compulsion of her hunger for a man society says she shouldn't crave.
Next up is a scorching tale of the hottest fraternity in existence: The Big V by Lolita Lopez
A night of wild partying with football god Chris at his frat's Halloween bash sounds like the perfect cure for Ashley's midterm blues. But her carefree night quickly takes an FML turn. Chris and his hunky frat buddies intend to use her as their virgin sacrifice!
She nearly faints as Chris describes the deliciously dirty ritual orgy they have planned, a ritual centered on giving Ashley multiple orgasms. Sensual massage. Spanking. Twelve sets of big, strong hands on her innocent body. A dozen soft mouths driving her wild. Could there be a more memorable way to lose the Big V than with these sinfully sexy frat boys?
Chris promises Ashley a night she'll never forget—and she plans to hold him to it.
Reader Advisory:
Our heroine endures scorching sexual pleasure at the hands—and mouths—of a dozen horny frat brothers. Oh, what torture…
Both of these books are available at Ellora's Cave. Be prepared to be either shocked, scandalized or really, really satisfied after reading :)

(2) The Joker's Wild Series
(a) Joker's Wild: Call Me
When Kayla Martin tries to revolutionize the sex toy industry she calls on the one person she's grown to count on more than anyone else, her best friend and downstairs neighbor, Dylan Thompson.
When Kayla approaches him about being a test subject for her newest invention, an anal toy, Dylan is intrigued and aroused. That is until he finds out that The Walnut Wand is an anal toy for men.
Kayla's sure that a prostate stimulator will be a hit, all she needs is a willing participant. Far from willing, Dylan flat out refuses, but that's not enough to deter Kayla.
After their monthly poker game, Dylan and Kayla decide to make a risky bet. Kayla wants a test subject and Dylan wants the one thing's he's being craving for years. They'll risk it all on one hand, but anything can happen when jokers are wild.
Warning, this title contains the following: explicit language, use of sexual aids and graphic sex.
(b) Joker's Wild: Three Nights
Working for your dream man is never a good idea, especially when he's as aloof as Chris Wilson. Eliza's been dreaming of having her boss in her bed for several months now, and when the opportunity comes up for her to spend some of her off time with him at a poker game, she jumps at the chance. Too bad Chris isn't as excited to see her, as she is to see him.
Eliza has gotten under Chris's skin bad. He can't go a day without thinking of his sexy secretary. Chris is determined to get her in his bed, that is until he finds out she has a daughter. He has a firm never date women with children policy that he isn't willing to give into for anyone, until Eliza makes him a little wager. If he wins, Chris gets to have her any way he wants her, and if she wins Chris has to fulfill three of her fantasies.
It's a win-win situation he thinks, but anything can happen when jokers are wild.
This title contains the following, explicit sex and graphic language.
(c) Joker's Wild : Stripped Bare -
My favorite of the series!!!
When visiting an adult bookstore for a bachelor party, Professor Brody Kincaid is shocked to see his former student Missy Haddan working at the counter. He's had his eyes on Missy since she'd been his student several months ago and has been waiting for the perfect time to approach her. Fate has just slipped her into his path. Her warm personality and full-figured beauty holds him captivated, and he is determined to have her no matter what the cost.
Missy sees all kinds at her job, but never expects to see her former professor. She knows he's out of her league, but when Brody offers to teach her to play poker, Missy can't resist the temptation to learn, or her desire for him.
Their simple games goes further then even she could have imagined. When the ante is upped and her heart is on the line, Missy is willing to risk it all on a game of chance, but anything could happen when jokers are wild.
Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex and graphic language.
P.S. Her BDSM-lite books at Ellora's Cave (co-authored with Maggie Casper) are also uber-HAWT (Friends with Benefits and Maverick's Black Cat)

State Rep. Tommy Pope on Monday joined the crowded GOP field lining up to run for Mick Mulvaney's U.S. House seat if he vacates it to become White House budget director.
As the House speaker pro tem, Pope is the highest-profile candidate to announce for the seat. He had previously stated his intention to run for governor in 2018, but President Trump's election and his selection of Mulvaney have changed those plans.
The line of Republicans officially interested in taking over Mick Mulvaney's 5th District congressional seat is now up to four.
Tom Mullikin, a Republican lawyer from Camden, announced Wednesday that he will run for the seat if Mulvaney is confirmed as White House budget director.
"I support President Trump's focus on strengthening America and want to be a part of his team in Congress," Mullikin said.
WASHINGTON – On party-line votes, two U.S. Senate committees on Thursday approved the nomination of Rep. Mick Mulvaney as White House budget director.
The Budget Committee voted 12-11 for the Indian Land Republican, and the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee approved 8-7. Next the full Senate will vote on the nomination, perhaps early next week.
Attorneys for Jackie Harris and Linda Blackmon argued their cases in court Thursday but presented no witness testimony, and the judge said he would issue his ruling early next week in their disputed Lancaster City Council race.
"The law wants a quick decision on elections, because things have to keep moving and governments have to operate," said Circuit Judge Brian Gibbons.
Tension over the election dispute between Jackie Harris and Linda Blackmon wasn't confined to the courtroom this week.
It bubbled over in Tuesday night's city council meeting, with testy exchanges involving Councilwoman Tamara Green Garris, Mayor John Howard and Councilwoman Hazel Taylor.
The meeting was the council's first since Harris was restored to her District 3 council seat while her protest of Blackmon's Nov. 8 election victory is adjudicated in Lancaster General Sessions Court.
Sheri Few, a Lugoff Republican known for her opposition to Common Core, announced Wednesday that she will run for the 5th District congressional seat if Rep. Mick Mulvaney is confirmed as White House budget director.
Few described herself as a social conservative and said her goal is to "make America America again."
"Taking this fight to the federal level will be one of my key priorities," Few said.
The dispute over the Lancaster City Council election took a surprising turn Tuesday, with city officials restoring Jackie Harris to her District 3 seat while her voter-fraud allegations against Linda Blackmon proceed to General Sessions Court on Feb. 2.
Early this month, city officials declared the seat vacant after learning that state law barred Blackmon, who beat incumbent Harris in the Nov. 8 election, from being sworn in until Harris' appeal of the election outcome was resolved in court.
HEATH SPRINGS – Town council unanimously voted Tuesday night to continue its victim's services agreement with the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office so its town clerk can waive state-required training to do the same thing.
"This takes us out of the loop," said Heath Springs Town Administrator Tony Starnes.
The decision came after an annual audit of the town's crime victims fund by the S.C. Office of Victim Services.

Maxime Langelier-Parent, the game's second star, was back in the lineup for the first time since the second game of the season and helped lead Florida's comeback attempt that came up just short when Trenton's Mike Ullrich scored the game-winner with a half-minute remaining in overtime. The Everblades roared back a 4-1 deficit, scoring two shorthanded goals on the same Trenton power play in the process, in a roughly six-minute span that stretched the tail end of the second period and start of the the final frame. Pat Nagle started but did not factor into the decision as he was pulled just past the halfway point of the match. Alex Hutchings, who now has points in eight of his last nine games he's played in, scored Florida's second shorthanded tally late in the second period to pull the home squad within a goal when, while streaking into the slot, Mike Ratchuk hit him with a feed that he quickly fired past Titans netminder Scott Wedgewood. Defenseman Charles Landry remains in Syracuse with the Crunch. Florida (22-15-8, 52 PTS) closes out its home stand with a Saturday night match against Greenville (28-16-2, 60 PTS), which is currently atop the Souh division standings.

Paul Thurrot (you know!) has published part 3 of his review of Vista RC1. This part focuses on upgrading to Vista from XP. "As with compatibility, the upgrade scenario appears to be another big win for Windows Vista. Granted, I've only upgraded one system. But it was a wonderfully real-world system, full of all kinds of crud. Yes, it's early yet: I will wait at least a few more days before declaring this a total victory; but so far so good."

I am finally finished.
For the past, I don't know, AGE, I've been working on the sequel to Beg For It. My first book with Ellora's Cave introduced an amazing cast of characters that I couldn't leave alone. Writing the second book in the series entitled Ask For It, has been like visiting with old friends. I love the pace of working on something new, the frenetic energy of matching words to emotion. It's addictive, like a legal high. It's the thrill of the chase that excites me I suppose, always striving to make each draft better until the characters are as real to me as any of you are.
Now it's over.
Oh, I will still have edits to do, multiple revisions that will leave me exhausted and feeling like I never want to see this book again. That's just part of the publishing process and in the end I'm always happy to see my babies shined up and pretty.
But it will never be the same as when I'm writing it. Nothing can recapture the feeling of bringing life to characters that were just fuzzy images in the back of my mind. The only thing that cures the melancholy is starting something new.
So in the words of Jay Z - "on to the next one".
Guess who's up next?
ssshhhh, it's Anya :)

The sentinel object provides a convenient way of providing unique objects for your tests.
Attributes are created on demand when you access them by name. Accessing the same attribute will always return the same object. The objects returned have a sensible repr so that test failure messages are readable.
The DEFAULT object is a pre-created sentinel (actually sentinel.DEFAULT). It can be used by side_effect functions to indicate that the normal return value should be used.
Sometimes when testing you need to test that a specific object is passed as an argument to another method, or returned. It can be common to create named sentinel objects to test this. sentinel provides a convenient way of creating and testing the identity of objects like this.
In this example we monkey patch method to return sentinel.some_object:
>>> real = ProductionClass()
>>> real.method = Mock(name="method")
>>> real.method.return_value = sentinel.some_object
>>> result = real.method()
>>> assert result is sentinel.some_object
>>> sentinel.some_object

St. Paul's is a gathering of God's people who are Evangelical, Confessional and Faithful. We invite everyone to share with us the grace and joy which comes from the worship of God and the study of His Holy Word.
St. Paul's is a gathering of the people of God who come together to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed in it's purity and to receive the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion.
We are old people and young people. Grandparents and children. College graduates and people with less formal education. We are all people who want to know what God has done for us and how that can affect our lives. Some of us can trace our family's membership at St. Paul's back generations. Others are new to the congregation or even new to the community.
We love one another because God has first loved us. And we love our neighbor as ourselves as God's Holy Word tells us. We are people who are committed to our community and the spiritual health of he people who live there with us.
We are a congregation which worships in a traditional Lutheran liturgical setting. We find in this style another proclamation of the Gospel. We also use predominately traditional hymnody.

A Notre Dame teammate of Manti Te'o says the players were suspicious about Te'o's girlfriend and described the Heisman Trophy candidate as a "very good" actor.
Te'o said in a press release Wednesday that he is the victim of an online hoax and that he fell in love with a woman he believed to be Lennay Kekua. An explosive Deadspin report says that Kekua doesn't exist, was not Te'o's girlfriend and didn't die of leukemia as Te'o painfully told reporters throughout the 2012 season.
Rather, Deadspin writes, she was the online creation of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, a friend or acquaintance of Te'o. Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick says the alleged hoax, which the university hired a private company to investigate, involved numerous characters, including a woman pretending to be someone named Lennay Kekua. Te'o said he talked to her nightly and that he "met" her after a game at Stanford in 2009.
When she "died" in September of 2012, just days after his grandmother died, Te'o appeared devastated.
"No, we all knew he had only seen her once," an unnamed player told PepperonSports.com. "But when the media was saying how he went through both deaths we knew."
What they "knew" isn't clear from the article.
The player told reporter Jackie Pepper of Pepper On Sports that Te'o may have indeed been duped, but as the media attention grew, Te'o lied.
"He lied, but the media blew it up…Right after the Michigan (State) game. He should have never brought her in the media. His grandma passing was enough."
The players were presumably confused by Te'o's emotional reaction surrounding the death of someone he'd only met once. Swarbrick says the two never met at all, contradicting a detailed account told in the South Bend Tribune of their first meeting. Te'o's father, Brian Te'o, also told the paper his son had met Kekua in Hawaii.
But, whom did he really meet?
The players, Pepper writes, discussed their suspicions among each other, but never approached Te'o.
"We would never bring it up. But we would look at him when he would get all emotional during media about his girl," the player said.
Asked by Pepper if Te'o was a good actor, the player said: "Very good."
THE YEAR FOR TE'O: Look back at Manti Te'o's season, on and off the field

As expected, Socialist Francois Hollande has defeated incumbent president Nicloas Sarkozy. With half the vote counted, Holland leads 51-49. French polling agencies project that Hollande will end up capturing between 52 and 53 percent of the final vote.
With so many factors working against him — above all, the economy — Sarkozy ended up running fairly well. But France nonetheless will be saddled with a Socialist president and, by most accounts, a rather undistinguished one.
Hollande wants to renegotiate the European treaty on budget cuts that Germany's Angela Merkel and Sarkozy championed, so that he can spend money France does not have on a higher minimum wage, the hiring of more civil servants, and so forth.
Expect the markets to be considerably less well-disposed to this program than are the French voters.

Did you find out the sex of your baby? We didn't with Preston—when I was walking into our 20-week ultrasound last time, I changed my mind on the spot and decided I didn't want to know the sex. It wasn't hard—I liked not knowing. It made the pregnancy all the more suspenseful. And I didn't feel it connected me with the baby any less. Most of my friends and family thought I was having a girl—but in the back of my mind, I think I always knew it was a boy. Looking back, it's hard to remember thinking it was anything other than my little dude.
This time has been totally different though. As I've mentioned a thousand times, I went through IVF in September of 2011, and had four subsequent frozen embryo transfers last year. Because of an uncertain diagnosis of "unexplained infertility"—unexplained secondary infertility—we never seemed to get closer to any answers, even though I had every test imaginable done. Everything always looked "perfect"—which was frustrating to hear after a while.
Before the final embryo transfer, I did things a little differently, in the hopes I'd get a different outcome: I had a hysteroscopy—that's when they "scrape" your uterus looking for abnormalities like polyps. While a small benign polyp was found and removed, it was nothing that would've prevented me from getting pregnant. (I swear, when my OB, who did the procedure, said, "Your uterus looks perfect!" I wanted to cry. Can something please be wrong so we can fix it?)
We decided to have our remaining embryos tested, before transferring another one. This is an optional step in the process that's still gaining popularity—insurance doesn't cover this, so the cost can be somewhat prohibitive ($5k-7k typically). The embryologist who I'd transferred my embryos to is renowned for PGD testing—pre-implantation genetic diagnosis—which screens for chromosomal abnormalities. In doing this we were able to see the chromosomal makeup of our embryos to make sure we were transferring a healthy, viable embryo—but it also means we were able to see the sex.
Does this mean I picked the sex of my baby? No.
We transferred the embryo that was the healthiest. This process was not about picking the sex—it was about giving ourselves the best chance for a successful transfer, after three unsuccessful transfers that left us scratching our heads each time. Even though our embryos always looked perfect under a microscope, when we had them thawed and then screened further we discovered a few of them would never have resulted in a pregnancy or birth.
Once I got pregnant (hallelujah!), along with the nuchal translucency screening I had a blood test for my first trimester screening—new last year, it's called MaterniT21 Plus—which screens for chromosomal abnormalities, specifically Down Syndrome. It's 99% accurate, and there are no risks involved, unlike getting an amniocentesis or a CVS, which many women of advanced maternal age are advised to do. Through this new blood test, we were also able to confirm the sex of the baby. (If you're over 35 and thinking about this, ask your doctor about it—for some, it still makes sense to have an amnio or CVS. I personally felt comfortable doing the blood test, because I'd already had my embryos tested.)
So the moral of the story is, I've known the sex for a while now, but I haven't felt comfortable talking about it—I wanted to wait till the 20-week ultrasound. I needed to see it to believe it, and I wanted to make sure everything looked okay.
And today I saw it: WE'RE HAVING A GIRL! How cool is that!? After everything I've been through, it's surreal to be pregnant again—but to be having a girl? It really is a dream come true for me.
As excited as I am though, I'll admit it feels a little strange knowing the sex…I'm not sure I'll ever be totally comfortable with it, but this whole pregnancy has been a different experience for me, and I've come to terms with it (plus, now I can design a girlie nursery, which I'm super excited about). Why did you, or didn't you, find out the sex? Did it feel strange knowing? Did you refer to your baby by its sex? I feel funny doing that, but maybe I'm just a little superstitious.

Voluptuous curves and beautiful lips drew us to this half-Filipino, half-Puerto Rican beauty. Born in Olongapo, Philippines and now residing in Los Angeles, the lovely Daphne Joy has made a name for her self not only in print, but on the big screen as well. We first saw Daphne on Nick Cannon's 'WildNOut" show on MTV and she has gone on to land roles on CSI: Las Vegas and in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 4. With experience and credentials like that, it won't be long before she's cruising Hollywood Boulevard in the baby blue Bentley of her dreams.
How long have you been modeling for?
I've been modeling since I was 18.
How did you get your start in modeling? Were you discovered?
I was 18 when I auditioned for Nick Cannon's hit MTV show "WildnOut," and was a part of the cast for 4 Seasons. Since then, I've been featured in KING, and I've done covers for Show, Black Men's, and Smooth magazine. I've worked on TV Shows such as Criminal Minds, CSI: Las Vegas, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. You can currently see me in the new Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides with Johnny Depp, in the role of a mermaid.
What would you say are your strengths as a model?
Confidence. If you're not confident with your body and how you look, no matter how good your outfit, hair, or makeup looks, the shot will not look right.
Describe yourself in three words or statements.
Sexy, Charming and Shy.
What are some of you modeling highlights so far?
I'd have to say the best highlights would be doing magazine covers for Black Men, Show Magazine, Show: Black Lingerie, Smooth Magazine, and now PASMAG. I'm most proud of landing the role in Pirates of Caribbean 4, that was the most challenging for me. First, I had to learn how to swim, and then learn how to do choreographed swimming! Trust me, it was difficult but rewarding.
Does your personality match your Zodiac sign? Describe.
Aquarius are independent, free spirited, non-emotional, detached, yet caring people who have many friends, yet few close friends. That pretty much sums me up completely.
Tell us what you like about modeling?
I like meeting new, interesting, creative people, and being involved in exciting shoots, movies, shows, etc.
How do you keep in such great shape?
I drink a lot of water and I love to hike. I try and do something active at least 2-3 times a week. That includes going to the gym, hiking, bicycling, rollerblading, etc.
What is the strangest photo-shoot that you've done?
I'm pretty selective when it comes to my shoots, so I can't say I've had any strange encounters just yet...and hope to never!
Who is your favorite model or celebrity of all time?
My favorite models are always changing, my favorite right now would be Irina Shayk - she was on the cover of Sports Illustrated. My favorite celebrity would have to be Jennifer Lopez, I love her fashion, beauty and career expertise!
What traits do you like most about yourself?
Physically? Well I love my -all natural- Puerto Rican curves!
Do you have any birthmarks, scars or tattoos?
Do you have any pets? What kind?
I have a Pekingese puppy named Tuffy. He's all white and super fluffy.
What are your hobbies? Any hidden talents you'd like to share with the world?
I'm a really good cook, I'd challenge Bobby Flay any day!
What is your favorite food?
Everything! I'm a culturally diverse food guru - I absolutely love trying new foods. My favorites are Filipino, Greek, and Soul food!
Who is your favorite recording artist and genre of music?
I like all kinds of music - Sade, Drake, Trey Songz, Usher, Stevie Wonder, etc…
Do you have any weird habits that no one else knows about?
I'm a total neat freak! Everything from my closet and my car, to my house and my room is clean and in order.
What is your dream car?
A baby blue Bentley convertible!
What do you look for in a guy? What would he have to do to get your attention and to keep you interested?
He'd have to love me like Bruno Mars does in his song "Grenade"! A guy who is confident, secure, masculine, charming and romantic is always attractive.
What gets you in the mood? What are some of your turn-ons?
In order to turn me on- I would have to be into you! Once that happens, a simple look, a touch of my hand, a secret smile, thoughtful gestures and a private kiss are all big turn-ons for me. Good wine, sexy clothes and a nice cologne don't hurt either.
How do you feel about pick-up lines? What was the best line that was used on you? Did it work?
To be honest, I get the all the same type of lines and openers..."So are you from here? What do you like to do for fun? Can I call you sometime?" The funniest ones have to be the ones I get from my Twitter and Facebook followers! It's pretty funny actually but I think those guys are bolder because they're behind a screen!
On a scale of 1 to 10, how wild are you in the bedroom?
That's for me to know, and for you to -maybe- find out.
What item of clothing or accessory makes you feel the sexiest?
A great lace lingerie set.
What do you most value in your friends?
Honesty, Reliability, Loyalty!
Who are your heroes in real-life? Why?
My mother! Because she sacrificed so much her early years to make a better life for me and our family.If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?
My dream is to travel the world, so my one superpower would have to be being able to snap my fingers and be anywhere in the world I want!Tell us about any upcoming projects of yours?
My website, www.DaphneJoy.com is coming soon! You'll be able to see my blogs where I talk about relationships, fashion, and follow me through my everyday life. I am excited about my role in the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie and will be doing more TV, Film, and magazines soon.
With any 'spotlight' type of job, you are looked upon as a role model. What advice would you give out to aspiring models?
The best advice I could give to any model is to remain humble, remain family oriented and never lose a sense of yourself! Always remember your first passion, whether that's modeling, acting or singing - stay focused and go for it!
Do you have any shout outs or last words?
Shout Out to all my followers, fans, and supporters on Twitter, Facebook, and even when I was still on Myspace! haha! I have a lot more in store for you!
Daphne`s article can be seen in the August issue of Performance Auto and Sound

New products: Wireless speaker streams from iPhone
This weekly roundup takes a look at the practical and sometimes quirky aspects of tech products.
A radio for the Internet age
Ask a Baby Boomer if he remembers transistor radios, those omnipresent devices that let you listen to scratchy broadcasts on the AM band. Fast-forward to 2013, when everything is about the Internet — including some of the more modern incarnations of the radio. Consider one of the latest offerings from Cambridge Audio, which gives listeners access to more than 20,000 Internet radio stations. Compact enough to fit on a nightstand or end table, the Minx Air 100 wireless speaker can also stream music from audio devices via Bluetooth and AirPlay. Better yet, the 100-watt speaker delivers crisp and rich audio that will please picky listeners.
Instructions for connecting the speaker to your home network are easy to follow, making setup relatively painless. You can control the speaker with built-in controls, an included remote control or via a free app on your iPhone or Android phone. The app works best, as it provides more options and is easier to use.
The speaker has five preset buttons: Cambridge has preset an eclectic mix, but you can easily update the selections to reflect your own favorites. Just be prepared to change your mind frequently as you browse through the various genres, including comedy, classical, folk and jazz. Priced at $450, the Minx Air 100 also can be connected directly to your TV, DVD player and other home electronics.
If you crave bigger sound and have room for a bigger speaker, the Minx Air 200, a wireless speaker with 200 watts of power and an active 6-inch subwoofer is available for $600. Or, if you prefer portability and a lower price, the Minx Go is a good bet. Compact enough to stuff in a backpack, the Minx Go's built-in battery can deliver 18 hours of superior sound on a full charge. Priced at $150, the Bluetooth speaker can be set to work with eight different devices.
Put some color in your calculator
Personal calculators used to be about the nerdiest accoutrement you could own: It's hard to look cool when you are toting around a device designed to help you get through algebra or trigonometry. But taking a cue from those clever folks who have designed snazzy covers for iPhones and other mobile devices, Guerilla's Calculator Accessories provide cool options to dress up Texas Instrument's graphing calculators. The line includes protective cases, interchangeable faceplates and covers in a variety of styles and colors. For example, a Silicone Case for Texas Instruments' TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator in pink, green or blue costs about $15, while a patterned Hard Slide Case-Cover for a TI-84 Plus calculator (and similar models) is about $17.
A source of power for women
Here's a new way to empower women — or at least provide them some power. Lepow, has introduced its Moonstone line of portable power banks specifically geared for women. Available in glossy yellow, red, green, black and ivory, the rounded device is small enough to slip into a pocket or small bag. Designed to charge phones, tablets, digital cameras and other devices, the portable charger has two USB ports, a micro USB port and a USB/micro USB cable. Its lithium-ion polymer battery can hold a charge up to six months, allowing you to keep it on hand just in case. A 6000mAh model costs about $70.
Maybe it's time to get untangled
It's been clear for a while now that many of our major clutter crises involve cables for computers and other devices. Lately, we've seen a number of products hit the market to make it easier to untangle this dilemma. CableOrganizer.com's Split Wire Loom, for example, provides a relatively simple and inexpensive way to rein in the mess. The split wire loom's corrugated tubing lets you wrap up cables and organize them in a neat bundle. Available in a variety of bright colors, the loom protects cables from heat, vibration, water, sunlight and other damaging elements. If you need to add another cable to the mix at a later date, you can easily slip it in with the other cables. A loom with a ¼-inch inside diameter costs 65 cents a foot. Other sizes are available.

Newly re-engaged non-meat-eaters Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have been named the sexiest celebrity vegetarians by PETA's annual online poll.
As it happened, the meatless couple weren't nominated as a pair -- each beat out a slew of other famous veggies for the crown.
Bell beat out Anne Hathaway, Edie Falco, Kristen Wiig, Rooney Mara, Portia De Rossi and Jenna Dewan Tatum. Shepard triumphed over Peter Dinklage, Jared Leto, Johnny Galecki, Woody Harrelson, and even former President Bill Clinton.
"I had a hard time disassociating the animals I cuddled with -- dogs and cats, for example -- from the animals on my plate, and I never really cared for the taste of meat," said Bell, who went vegetarian in high school and is now a vegan. "I always loved my Brussels sprouts!"
Bell also convinced Shepard, who first became a vegetarian in 2012 after watching the documentary "Forks Over Knives," to follow suit.
"I have fewer body aches," he said. "My skin looks better. I'm never starving, and I never need to ride the couch feeling completely full and disgusting."
The couple, who are also gay rights allies, became re-engaged after the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act Wednesday and welcomed daughter Lincoln three months ago.
They are the first couple to win PETA's.

Obamacare a tempting target for cuts
Republicans never got their chance to chop down President Barack Obama's health care law, but that doesn't mean it's safe from the clippers as Congress looks for solutions for tough fiscal times.
The Affordable Care Act brings in a lot of new taxes and savings, but it also dishes out as much as $1.7 trillion in new spending over the next decade — money that looks awfully tempting to lawmakers scrounging around for ways to fund other projects or pay down the deficit.
Story Continued Below
And even Democrats may be forced to take a look as battles over the debt limit, deficit reduction and entitlement reform heat up. Obama and Senate Democrats have already reluctantly tapped into the law for revenue for things they want to get done.
Twice, as part of bipartisan deals, they agreed to increase the amount Americans must pay if they get too generous a subsidy in the insurance exchanges. The first time was to pay for the 2010 doc fix to avoid deep physician fee cuts under Medicare, and the second time was to offset the cost of repealing new 1099 tax reporting requirements that both parties considered burdensome on businesses.
Last February, Obama signed legislation slashing $5 billion from the Prevention and Public Health Fund to help pay for a continuation of payroll tax breaks and other initiatives. The health care law gave the fund $15 billion in its first 10 years.
And just a few weeks ago, lawmakers agreed to cut funding for nonprofit health insurance cooperatives to help pay for another one-year doc fix. That was in the last-minute fiscal cliff deal.
Although the White House takes issue with the Congressional Budget Office's $1.7 trillion estimate for 2012to 2022, there are still plenty of funds and juicy options on the shelf if lawmakers get hungry enough — that is, if Democrats would agree to them. Here are some potential targets:
Reclaim excess subsidies
One option is to require insurance subsidy recipients to pay back 100 percent of overpayments, which would raise $44 billion over 10 years, according to CBO.
The law provides lower-income Americans tax credits to help them buy insurance, but if their earnings change midyear, putting them in a different income bracket, they can end up pocketing more than they're eligible for. So-called clawbacks would require them to return those subsidies down to the last dime.
House Republicans voted for that option last spring, but Democrats said the proposal would go too far, because poor Americans might end up owing the government thousands of dollars at the end of the year. Liberal health care advocates are already unhappy Congress increased the clawbacks — so increasing the amount low-income people would have to repay could be a hard sell.
"The fact that it was made even more rigorous, it has the potential of being an enormous problem," said Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA, which strongly supports the health law. "This clawback affects people even if they were trying to do all the right things."
