text: When I first saw this bracelet, the first word that comes to mind is how bizarre! But then again, that's the whole point of this charm bracelet. Topshop wants to create something different and fun that would definitely raise an eyebrow. Made of gold tone metal, to be honest with you, the more I look at it the more I'm attracted to it! I mean, when else can you find a colorful lobster, old lobster and shiny bug in one chain? ; ) US$30.

What area(s) of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) are you pursuing for your undergraduate degree?
What is your favourite inspirational quote?
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Gandi - I live by this quote every day, hour, minute and second.
What is a little known fact about you?
Some would say I am a bit of a perfectionist, from my colour coded closet and notes to my daily vacuumed and swiffered room. My true secret, however, is that I am still a child at heart… my favourite movie is Monsters Inc and I have slept with my favourite toy for the past twelve years (embarrassing).
Why do you think you make a great Schulich Leader?
Like Seymour Schulich, a Schulich Leader is a person with vision, motivation, can organize and take action to create change. Through being innovative, passionate and dedicated, I have been able to create the change I wish to see in the world.

Roman Polanski
He ran to places where extradition is hard - France and Poland.
Which are now agitating at Switzerland to release him.
Almost as bad are the number of cretins who are now apologizing for and defending Polanski's actions. The basic arguments are this:
1. The victim wants to move on from this (she's now in her forties).
2. It wasn't "rape rape" (this from Whoopi Goldberg, who should know better).
3. It was consensual.
4. She had permission from her mother, who sent her to Polanski.
Allow me to retort.
A. She may want to move on from this, but the fact remains that Polanski fled the country before he could pay for his crime. Had there been any judicial misconduct (cited by many of the apologists) that was a matter for the appellate courts.
B. Rape is rape is rape, Whoopi. He plied a 13 year old with drugs, then raped and sodomized her. And this wasn't a case of statutory rape - a 17 year old banging his younger girlfriend. Polanski was 44 at the time.
C. The victim was THIRTEEN. Consent is irrelevant under the law at that age, and the fact that drugs were used defeats the consent argument anyway. If she was high on drugs, how could she have formulated a clear consent?
D. Her mother pimping her daughter out. How Hollywood is that? We have laws on the books that defeat that argument - it's usually called 'sexual battery while under custodial supervision.' A babysitter who sexually batters a child in her care is the same level of rapist as an award-winning director who gets permission from a girl's mother to have the girl stay over at his house.
And don't give me that argument about how Polanski survived Auschwitz and couldn't hack confinement again. Lots of people survived the death camps, and I'm sure that a few of them may have gone to jail at some point in their lives afterward. I'm fairly sure that the death camps didn't produce a crop of pederasts.
(Note I said pederasts - people who have sexual relations with children - as opposed to a pedophile.)
Roman Polanski has evaded the hand of Justice long enough. By fleeing rather than facing the consequences of his actions, he is in direct criminal contempt of the State.
He's danced long enough. Time for him to pay the piper.

Whenever my Grandpa Joe felt he was owed something, he wouldn't be shy in telling those indebted to him: "Cough up, deadbeat."
A group of former medical marijuana dispensary owners, joined by a Lansing-area attorney, is saying the same thing to the city of Lansing. The business owners want refunds for the fees they paid the city — at least $1,000 for each dispensary — as required by an ordinance adopted on June 27. However, the city has said it will not issue medical marijuana dispensary licenses anymore, in light of a recent Court of Appeals ruling.
Since the state Appeals Court ruled patient-to-patient medical marijuana sales are illegal nearly two months after city adopted its ordinance — and because the city hadn't issued one license in that time — at least some dispensary owners feel the money should be refunded.
"There's no way for (dispensary owners) now to actually apply or for the application to go forward," said Mike O'Briant, an Okemos attorney who represents the Greater Lansing Medical Marijuana Business Association.
"We're doing anything we can do to help get it back."
MLive.com first reported last week that the city cashed a check from Capital City Caregivers, 2208 E. Michigan Ave. (which has since closed), for $1,375 after the Court of Appeals ruling.
Whether the city will change course and refund applicants is undecided, said Lansing City Attorney Brig Smith. "This matter is currently under review with the Clerk. No decisions have yet been made on it," he said in an e-mail.
City Clerk Chris Swope said Monday: "I imagine all have been deposited," referring to checks, cash and money orders coming in from dispensary applicants. Swope told the Lansing State Journal shortly after the ruling that the city had received 48 applications at the time of the ruling. That means the city has taken in at least $48,000 in license fees for businesses it has decided not to license.
O'Briant said a suit has not yet been filed, pending a meeting with the City Attorney's Office. "Before we file suit, we'd like to talk to them and see if there's any chance of (the city) paying up."

Nokia Late to the Silicon Valley Party
Cellphone Giant Pushes an Underdog Culture Inside U.S. Operations as It Battles Sales Slump
SUNNYVALE, Calif.— Nokia Corp. NOK 0.45% is hitting the reset button on its U.S. operations from a place some would argue the struggling Finnish handset maker should have been years ago: Silicon Valley.
In posh Sunnyvale digs that could pass for an IKEA showroom, the company is looking to create the type of underdog culture that vaulted many of its competitors to recent success.
Noting Nokia's History
The location, occupied over a year ago, also lends proximity to a population of software developers that have been flocking to Apple Inc.'s AAPL -2.34% iPhone or devices powered by Google Inc.'s Android software. Nokia hopes it can lure more apps for the Microsoft Corp. MSFT -2.00% Windows software platform that Nokia has staked the future of its new Lumia smartphone lineup on.
On a recent workday here, software developers from outside firms flooded into a spacious lobby and were taken to conference rooms with names like Pier 39 and Alcatraz.
The ground-floor cafe sold Peets coffee and Marin Sun Farms flank steak with pico de gallo, while a soccer match between England and the Ukraine played on a television. An overwhelming amount of staffers wore cowboy boots and bluejeans.
If the company's approach feels like overkill, it may be for good reason. For years, Nokia ran its North American arm in White Plains, N.Y., far from where the industry's key innovations were taking place.
When the company fell from dominance in the U.S., it was mainly due to products coming out of Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple.
The results of the disconnection have been brutal. In 2003, the Nokia's sales of mobile phones in North America hit 32.4 million, or nearly 20% of the company's global volume.
By 2011, after the company essentially pulled out of the market due to uncompetitive technology, the company sold 3.9 million mobile devices, representing less than 1% of the company's global sales.
The slide has modestly reversed since launch of the Lumia phones under Chief Executive Stephen Elop through T-Mobile USA and AT&T Inc. T -0.21% in January and April, respectively.
Nokia sold 600,000 mobile devices in North America during the first quarter, compared with 500,000 in the fourth quarter. Revenue from these devices, meanwhile, was up 75% on a quarter over quarter basis thanks to higher price points.
Still, North American sales only represented 2% of Nokia's global total in the first three months of the year.
Matt Rothschild, head of retail and sales operations, said in an interview that relocating has given the workforce a "start-up mentality, a challenger mind-set" in the critical U.S. market. Mr. Rothschild has recently tapped that enthusiasm by creating the "Nokia Army."
Under this plan, more than 1,000 North American employees have signed up to go to outlets selling Nokia phones, such as an AT&T store at a shopping mall. The effort has spanned from Tuscaloosa, Ala., to Chicago.
Employees are usually armed with food and coffee, and work to bond with sales people and interact with potential phone buyers. Conversations often turn to the breadth of Nokia's apps, such as its navigation system, which comes free with the phone.
In some stores, such as a nearby T-Mobile store, Nokia staff would find their Lumia 710 smartphone had already been moved off the main display despite being a relatively new entrant in the market. In this store, phones from Samsung Electronics Co. and HTC Corp. get the most prominent placement.
Nokia executives don't need to stray far from home to find people who have little interest in the company's new phones.
At the Westfield Valley Fair mall in Santa Clara, about nine miles from Sunnyvale, Jonathan Lamb stood with his friends in line outside Microsoft's new store armed for battle.
An 18-year-old freshman at De Anza College, Mr. Lamb carried his iPhone and was preparing to participate in the store's marketing ploy. If he could prove his device was faster than Nokia's new Lumia 900, which uses the Windows operating system, he would win $1,000.
While he figured the Nokia phone would beat his best effort—"Nokia performance-wise is extremely fast"—he wasn't remotely interested in abandoning his iPhone.
His device, he says, is easier to navigate, has more readily-available apps and gives more bang for the buck. The Windows phone, meanwhile, "is dull."
Kulvinder Hummel, a 39-year-old resident of Santa Cruz, Calif., meanwhile is weighing whether she wants to make the jump to a smartphone after years of talking on a Motorola Razr. She's considered the iPhone and the Nokia Lumia, but strongly leaning in the direction of the Apple product.
"If I go for it and just bite the bullet and do what everybody else is doing, I definitely think the iPhone is a safer bet," she said.
Ms. Hummel is afraid that the Windows technology is a flash in the pan given her recollection of Microsoft's feeble attempt to take on Apple's iPod with its Zune portable digital-music player.
Mr. Rothschild, an Australian with 14 years Nokia experience, recently did his own stint in the company's new "Army," deciding to forgo a flight from Dallas to Atlanta, and instead drive through several states. On his first visit, he brought baked goods from Cinnabon.
He is also visiting with many developers at the company's site in Sunnyvale. Last weekend, for example, he hosted the chief executive of a golf technology company called Caddy Plus so they could discuss the visibility of the app in the Nokia/Microsoft ecosystem.
As part of its intensified focus on Silicon Valley, Nokia also made changes in the board room by recently appointing an outside director with strong Valley connections. Elizabeth Nelson, a former chief financial officer of Macromedia, was elected to Nokia's board during the May 3 annual meeting. Macromedia, a Web development software company, was acquired by Adobe Systems Inc. ADBE -3.31% in 2005. She spent eight years at Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ -0.42% before joining Macromedia.
Nokia chose Ms. Nelson, now a professional director whose board seats previously included Autodesk Inc., ADSK -3.16% partly because it wanted a greater West Coast presence, and the U.S. "is a very important market for Nokia,'' recalled Will Dawkins, head of the U.K. board services practice for recruiters Spencer Stuart, which handled Nokia's board hunt.

When I go into the market, it just closes it's self. Can someone help me with loading fun racing style games for my son? This is his xmas present and I want to make it "out of the box" ready for him. Thank you all for any help.

Meant to post this bright and early, but then I opened a Word file, and well, :shifty eyes: I found I'd spent most of the day in England after an outbreak of the Black Death. Writing life will do that to a person. I regret nothing.
Only when I opened this file did I remember I hadn't blogged about the SYTYCD auditions or the first week of competition, (or blogged at all for roughly a month, eep,) so stay tuned. This looks like a really interesting year, but for now, this Monkees classic fits:


text: This is my first post but very important I want to buy my first tablet. I am going to florida on vacation in 5 days and am planing on buying my tablet in the usa because Canada does not have much choices. My price limit with tax is $240 not allot but times are tough. I checked around walmart and Bestbuy and got to finals the Le Pan TC970 and Filemate Identity Le pan is 9.7 inch and Filemate is 7 inch. I would mostly use a tablet for Internet browsing, Apps, Videos and music. The Le pan does not support as many file formats as Filemate but it has a larger screen which I really prefer. The both have got great reviews and are pretty fast for there class. The Le pan is said to have better build quality and battery life when the Filemate is siad to have really fast and long distance wifi module.

In providing movie reviews on our site, CBN.com is not endorsing or recommending films we review. Our goal is to provide Christians with information about the latest movies, both the good and the bad, so that our readers may make an informed decision as to whether or not films are appropriate for them and their families.
I remember watching the Dukes of Hazzard television
series every week as a child with my family. We'd clear the dinner
table and gather around the television for an hour of good, clean
fun watching Bo and Luke Duke antagonize the corrupt government
of Hazzard County.
So, with that in mind, I was excited to hear that a movie remake
of the series was being produced. I even went out and rented the
DVD of season one of the the original series to prepare for the
premiere. It was comforting to see the action-comedy series I
grew up with again. In hindsight, I wish my Dukes of Hazzard
experience had stopped there.
The movie is very different from the series. Now, I know Bo and
Luke were always getting in trouble with the law on the series.
But that was only because "the law" in the town was
corrupt. In the movie version, the vibe is that the Dukes are
every bit as corrupt. Even Uncle Jesse, who was the moral patriarch
of the family in the series, is portrayed as lewd and crude in
the movie. Curse words and alcohol and drug-related jokes abound.
There are parts of the movie that are funny. But as a Christian,
I sat there cringing so much from the immorality of the characters
that laughter was difficult.
Of course, one of the big draws of the original series was the
car crashes. They are present in the movie version also. But the
best looking crashes are all included in the outtakes that run
as the closing credits roll.
The plot takes place in modern day Hazzard County. While the world
around the county has changed significantly in the last twenty
years, the county itself is pretty much as you remember it --
only more vulgar. Boss Hogg (played by Burt Reynolds), much thinner
than when we last saw him, hosts a road race in the county. Of
course the Dukes enter the race and hope to take home the prize,
but it turns out that the race is just a ruse to distract citizens
as Hogg and Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane attempt to carry out a
devious plan to destroy the town.
The acting is adequate. Jessica Simpson plays Daisy Duke while
Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott star as her cousins Bo
and Luke. Neither Simpson nor Knoxville has much experience in
acting, but they turn in performances that are watchable. Scott
plays Bo as a bit of a psycho. His performance is all right also,
but I have seen him in several movies and he always seems to be
playing the exact same character. This is just a deep south version
of that character. Prior to seeing the movie, I thought casting
Willie Nelson as Uncle Jesse was a great move. Having seen the
film now, I feel pretty ambivalent about that casting decision
-- as well as all the others.
This is not a family film. Do not take your children. It is rated
PG-13. However, with as much vulgarity as there is in the film,
I'm surprised it didn't garner an R-rating. Not only is it not
a family film, it isn't a good film. With a lot of other
options at the theater in the summer months, you may want to take
a pass on these "good ol' boys".

This is a picture my husband took a while ago. He works in construction and found this poor guy wandering around the site one day. We have laughed a lot because of this picture and my sweetheart always shows it to everyone. It's hard to believe it's not a fake. But I was thinking about this poor little skunk today and am hoping never to end up like him. I'm sure that when he saw and smelled the yogurt he was looking for something sweet and satisfying. How many of us can identify with that? But I started to think that it's the same with sin. The Bible teaches that satan appears as an "angel of light". No one falls into sin because they want their freedom to be taken away. They fall into sin because they want to preserve their freedom. Therein lies the trap. Because when you sin and continue in that sin, it becomes a way of life, or an addiction, and so you lose the freedom you once thought you were preserving. The skunk was looking for something good but ended up being trapped and blinded by it. Samuel says it was running into things left and right and when animal control came for it, it walked right into the cage. Let's not walk into any cages today.
"Jesus replied, 'I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.'"
John 8:34-36

Length: 7.01 Kilometers / 4.36 Miles, terrain flat
By Heather Marr
Thanks, Heather, for this great route along the San Francisco bayside north shore through Chrissy Field to the Golden Gate Bridge! I'm sure this article will start a run on orange wallpaint... Also see Heather's more exotic route description for Montevideo Rambla Out-and-Back
Pictures by the photographers at www.Pixelio.de (thanks!) and GoogleMaps StreetView
San Francisco running routes:
Best San Francisco Running Routes: Overview
Marina Green to Golden Gate
Downtown/Embarcadero/Chinatown/Nob Hill
Ft. Mason/Fisherman's Wharf/Telegraph Hill/Lombard Street
Golden Gate Park
For more running routes, see Route List.
It's been over a year since I lived (and ran) in San Francisco, and because I've been residing in very flat Uruguay, there's no way I could immediately start pounding the hills of my former city if I were to visit right now. If you've just arrived from a similarly vertically challenged locale, try the following route a time or two before tackling something more challenging. You might even want to take your camera.
|Worth taking your camera? View from Fort Point. Photo by G. S. Rom
The Marina Green to Fort Point Route
Start at the west side of the Marina Green. If you're driving, there's a good chance that here you'll find something quite precious in San Francisco: a free parking space with no time restrictions (well, provided you're not there between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.). There are also decent public restrooms right next to the Marina Yacht Harbor.
|View towards Golden Gate Bridge from Marina (GoogleMaps StreetView)
Run a little way south to the end of the Green, and turn right onto Marina Boulevard. Stay on the pedestrian side of the shared path for bikers and pedestrians, and ogle all the yachts in the harbor (or the bay view homes across the street).

Side note: Want to paint your living room the color of the Golden Gate Bridge? I knew you did! Just have your paint store mix up a can or two for you using the following information. The PMS code is 173, or the CMYK percentages are: C=Cyan: 0%, M=Magenta: 69%, Y=Yellow: 100%, K=Black: 6% (http://www.goldengatebridge.org/research/facts.php#PaintedIntnlOrange)
When you've reached the end of Crissy Field, you can stop to use the restrooms at the Warming Hut Bookstore and Café if necessary. The pedestrian trail ends shortly thereafter, merging into Marine Drive.

|Fort Point and the Golden Gate Bridge, photo by W. Broemme
Turn around and run back toward the Marina Green, enjoying the view of downtown San Francisco (and possibly a lovely tailwind).
If it happens to be around brunchtime when you're done (in San Francisco, that means anytime between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., but only on weekends), follow in the tradition of the San Francisco Road Runners circa 2004 and head over to Bechelli's for typical American fare such as bacon and eggs. Located at 2346 Chestnut Street, it's about a 10-minute walk from the Marina Green, straight down Scott Street (then make a right on Chestnut).

Now, that the destruction of their assaulting column gave us needed respite from further immediate onslaught by the enemy, every effort was directed to the reorganization of the shattered Federal forces that were now in and around the fort. Those from the outer line came back in masses, and were badly disorganized. The gateway was immediately closed again with the cotton bales and those who had been so swiftly hurled back from the outer lines began, with marvelous speed and courage, to find places at the parapets in the fort, and in the rifle-pits around it, for further resistance. The fighting, by those already there, had continued with unabated vigor, and their ranks were now rapidly augmented until every space from which a gun could be fired was occupied. At least two companies of the Seventh Illinois were armed with Henry rifles, a magazine gun capable of repeating sixteen times almost as rapidly as the shots could be counted. They did splendid work. It was now approaching 11 o'clock. From this time forth, a battle was waged there, for four hours, in which every Union soldier was his own commander, and which tested the endurance and courage of both sides to a degree never surpassed in history. There was not even a null in the musketry firing from beginning to the end of it. It was all the time as rapid and intense as the number of men and guns engaged could make it. On our side the artillery was served with great skill and effect. Edwin R. Fullington, a private of the Twelfth Wisconsin battery, crossed and recrossed the narrow and rickety footbridge over the railroad cut three times, under direct fire from the enemy, and carried grape and canister ammunition from the eastern to the western fort. Prior to 12 o'clock, the enemy attempted four separate charges upon the western fort, from the ravine west of it. Each time, as they rose into sight, out of the ravine, less than a hundred yards away, the Union forces in the fort and rifle-pits rose up and poured a sheet of flame and lead, and grape and canister from double-shotted cannon, full into their faces. It was more than they could withstand. Each time, their lines were riddled and their columns broken, and again and again they returned to protection of the ravine.
The fighting east of the railroad cut was the counterpart of that on the west side, except that it was less severe. On that side, also, two or three charges were attempted by the enemy, and repulsed; but the numbers of the assaulting forces there were much less than of those on the west side, ;the ascent to the fort and intrenchments was steeper, and the starting point was farther away. The Federal force there was only about one-half as great as that on the west side, but they were better distributed, and the fortifications were better and better located. Hence, the main attack and most of the vigorous fighting of the enemy was on the west side of the railroad cut. Nevertheless, that on the east side was quite severe, and was maintained with great persistency to the end. A part of the troops on the east side were so located that they could, and at times did, render valuable assistance to those on the west side. But the greater part of the time they had all they could reasonably be expected to attend to on their own side of the railroad. As a matter of fact, however, they attended to what they had to do there, and did it remarkably well, and still had a few spare moments in which they sent many whistling messengers to the enemy across the railroad. The last charge of the enemy on the east side of the railroad cut was made, a little before noon, by the Thirty-fifth and Thirty-ninth Mississippi regiments. They suffered heavy losses, and the large part of both regiments retired from the onset.
But small detachments of each pushed forward to a deep gulch, near the railroad, in front of one of the companies of the Fourth Minnesota. Once there, they were protected from fire, but immediately discovered that they were in a trap. They could not climb the steep gulch in their front, and to retreat would have been sure death to most of them. Hence, they remained there, and surrendered at the end of the battle. Eighty prisoners were captured there, including Major Durr, commander of the Thirty-ninth Mississippi, and several line officers. The colors of both regiments were taken there. This was a very proper sequel to the attempt of those two regiments to capture Captain Morrill and his company, in the morning, when the flag of truce was in our lines. That evening, while at coffee and hardtack with a number of the officers of the Fourth Minnesota, Captain Morrell questioned Major Durr quite sharply about the incident of the morning.
After 12 o'clock, no assault was attempted by the enemy on either fort. But the Confederates, still clinging to every hillside and every knoll and every ravine, and every house and outbuilding, and every other place that afforded the least protection from our fire, maintained the battle with wonderful pertinacity. From a distance not exceeding one hundred yards on the west side, and not much greater on the north and south sides, they kept the air, over the forts and rifle pits, literally full of bullets all the time. Four full three hours, no man could expose any part of his body above the forts or rifle-pits for the space of ten seconds without extreme danger of being killed or wounded. In this part of the fighting the enemy had great advantage over the Federal forces. They were concealed behind stumps and clumps of brush and small trees and buildings and the uneven surfaces of the ground, and could look out from behind these with much greater safety than the Federal troops could do from the even top surfaces of the forts and rifle-pits, where there were no other obstructions to conceal them in any manner. But, notwithstanding this, the enemy's fire was returned with as much persistency and vigor as theirs was maintained.
To avoid confusion, on account of the lack of room at the parapet on the west side of the fort, and to maintain a steady and continuous fire, three men worked together. One of the three, standing at the parapet, fired the guns of all, while the other two, standing farther back in the fort, did the loading. Thus, each of the three always had a gun in hand, one being fired and the other two being loaded. This somewhat increased the rapidity, as well as the effectiveness, of the firing.
Just at noon, a shell lodged, and became fixed, half-way down the Rodman rifled cannon that stood at the west embrasure of the western fort, which was the only one that bore on the main position of the enemy. The danger of explosion was too great to risk firing it out; and it could not be removed otherwise. General Corse directed that this gun be moved back, and that the one, just like it, then at the south embrasure, be moved to take its place. The ground inside the fort was then literally covered with our dead and wounded, and roads had to be cleared through these in order to make the change. Nearly an hour was consumed in its accomplishment. During this period, a considerable number of the enemy crept up, from the ravine, behind and into the house and outbuildings that stood between the ravine and fort. From that protection, they engaged in sharpshooting at every man that passed the embrasures or showed any part of his body above the fort or rifle pits. Major Fisher, of the Ninety-Third Illinois, was severely wounded, in the left side, while passing one of the embrasures. Several others were hit. When the Rodman cannon was gotten into place at the west embrasure, it was immediately manned, and wonderfully well served by a very expert gunner of the Twelfth Wisconsin Battery. He sent three percussion shells into the house, and one through each of the outbuildings. These shells exploded, of course, as soon as they struck, and wrought great havoc among the enemy. Those not killed or wounded, immediately fled to the ravine, and our men fired upon them as they ran. Within less than fifteen minutes the enemy's sharpshooting ceased. This gunner then began to crack percussion shells on the stumps of trees that stood, all along, just at the eastern brow of the ravine. It was an ingenious thought, and resulted most disastrously to the enemy. These shells exploded when they struck the stumps, and hundreds of their fragments went tearing down the side of the ravine through the Confederate ranks. No stump was missed at which a shell was fired. The scene in that ravine, after the battle was ended, was beyond all powers of description. All the languages of earth combined are inadequate to tell half its horrors.
Mangled and torn in every conceivable manner, the dead and wounded were everywhere, in heaps and windrows. Enemies though they were, their conquerors, only a few minutes removed from the heat and passion of battle, sickened and turned away, or, remaining, looked only with great compassion, and through tears, upon that field of blood and carnage and death, upon that wreck of high hopes and splendid courage, that hecatomb of human life.
A little after 1 o'clock in the afternoon, word was pasted along the west line of the fort, to the effect that firing should cease. It was said, that the fort was to be surrendered. Instantly, twenty guns, or more, in the hands of private soldiers, were turned toward the inside of the fort, and those who held them shouted, that they would shoot the first man who dared to raise a white flag, and clinched the threat with fearful oaths. The firing did not cease. No white flag was raised. The officer who was then supposed to have been responsible for this episode of the battle, immediately denied that he had intended to surrender, and said that the rumor, to that effect, circulated in the fort, was attributable to no word uttered by him. The origin of it was, therefore, never definitely known. No one seemed to care about tracing it out.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon, after the Confederates had concluded that they could not take Allatoona, they made an effort to burn the rations. A lieutenant colonel of a Texas regiment, at the head of more than a hundred picked men, with many burning fagots in their hands, made a rush from behind the ridge, into the road near the foot of the hill west of the south end of the railroad cut, and attempted to reach and fire the warehouses. A well-directed volley of musketry, laid nearly forty of them dead in their tracks in the road, and many more were wounded. The force was shattered. Only a few of them reached the nearest warehouse.

Right, so I have not jumped in and got a switch yet but I have got Zelda for the Wii U, been told it looks nicer on the Switch but personally I am very happy with the Wii U version, it looks great and I have had some very minor slowdown at times but on the whole it has been solid.
I have no idea how far into it I am but I have found a ton of shrines, unlocked most of the map, killed a lot of things and done some very iffy cooking experiments to make food and elixers.
Well so far im loving the game, its fucking huge and theirs so much to do.
The only thing I am struggling with is the combat, the whole jump left / right at the right time to pull off a combo is something I have never been good at and when trying to do the shrines that contain the guardians I usually get killed pretty quickly, I do like the shrines that contain the puzzles and wish their was more of them as I think I have found about 6 guardian ones that I have left alone for now.
Whats other peoples thoughts on this?
I was going to get rid of the Wii U but with Zelda and some of the new hacks that have come out I felt it was worth getting a USB 3 HDD and exploring the game library a bit more

Happy New Year everybody! I really hope everybody will have an awesome 2015! I know I'm a bit late, since I forgot to say this in my post yesterday. Of course I forgot, I was too busy thinking about all the ways 2015 will be so much more awesome than 2014.
One of the things I would like to do is to take take more pictures and post them on Instagram. I really like going through old Instagram photos and remembering the things that happen on them. Most of my Instagram pictures are of little insignificant things and if it weren't for Instagram, I would never photograph them and would probably forget them for ever. I'm also planning to print my favourites at the end of the year and make a little Instagram (coffee table) booklet, so I can flip through them regularly
and stuff them into my visitor's faces.
So, in order to get the hang of photographing random things regularly I made myself a little Photo a Day challenge for the month of January. I made a list of 31 words and every day I have to make a picture that'll fit the word of that day. Since my goal just is to make more pictures and not to brush up my technical photography skills I'll be taking all of my photos with my phone. Maybe I'll try to play with some of it's options but don't expect fancy results. :)
So here are the 31 words I will photograph the following month:
|01. a new year 02. resolutions 03. a present 04. forgotten 05. white 06. warm 07. work 08. 10 o'clock 09. green 10. number
|11. cosy corner 12. play 13. relax 14. red 15. light 16. illustration 17. black 18. food 19. snuggling 20. blue
|21. pet(s) 22. handmade 23. drink 24. (makes me) happy 25. I made... 26. yellow 27. simple 28. book 29. from where I stand 30. sweet 31. weekend
If you want to join, please feel free to do so! Never mind this is the second day of the month already, nobody will notice ;). I'm posting my photos on my Instagram account using #neverkissaphoto2015 and it would be nice to see other people's pictures appear. I'll post an update on this blog every other week, so all you non-IG-ers can follow my progress too.

Do your own landscaping, your way
You can do your own landscaping and get exactly what you want
Landscaping is a science, but it's also a practical thing. Landscapers are as much artists as anything else, and will go for beauty at the slightest excuse. If you're not a great handyman or human earthmoving machine, you can still have a dazzling landscape with a few basic tricks.
You will have noticed that all the best gardens have been evolved as much as created. That's a fundamental principle of landscaping. These DIY gardens are excellent, and no professional landscaper would say otherwise, because they're based on fundamental landscaping principles. In an evolving garden, you choose the materials you think will work, and progressively build them into the environment.
That, just for the record, is exactly what Nature does. A great garden is a result of natural principles, which demand good placement of plants and features. The plants, naturally, go for their best places. If you've got a beautiful old tree in your garden, that tree is in the right place. It's big and beautiful because it's exactly where it's supposed to be.
Reading your garden map
Any piece of ground is like a map. It'll tell you everything you need to know about what you can plant and what needs doing in landscaping terms.
The plants tell you where everything is:
- The drainage areas have water-loving plants like mints and willows.
- The dry areas have tough plants that don't like getting wet, like geraniums. The bare areas don't have enough topsoil.
- The weeds are in areas where your grass or other plants can't get a foothold because of tough soil or lack of nutrients.
- The plants around rocks are a list of all the good types of plant for those areas.
If you're besieged by dandelions, you're in luck. Dandelions are full of copper, an important trace element. They're expert opportunists, as well as weed mats. A lot of dandelions means you have good soil. (See my article on dandelions. There's no end to the uses of these valuable plants.)
DIY landscaping basics
Landscaping can be a lot of work, but it really doesn't have to be. Unless you're building a Chinese garden with artificial mountains and structures, you can literally landscape your own place one square metre at a time, and make it look brilliant. The trick is to avoid getting bogged down in hard labor, and work on the results.
For example:
You have a shady area with good soil, but only little ground covers and oxalis seem to grow there. The area doesn't get enough light, and the soil may be a thin layer. It needs understorey plants. You can get a rage (not a range, a rage) of beautiful little plants which can self seed and create their own little garden feature all by themselves. Just check out "plants for shady areas" in your region in any encyclopedia, and you'll find dozens of the right types. No work involved, the plants do it all.
The point is that you use the natural principles as the landscaping medium. Plants don't even try to grow in the wrong places, so just follow the clues and you'll find the right plants.
Trees and landscaping
Trees are fundamental structures in any landscaping design. They control the macro climate in the area, attract birds and other fauna, and also help shelter the garden.
Tree planting has a few basic rules:
- Plant only trees suited to the environment
- Don't plant gigantic trees which will upset the balance of light and the garden ecology. (Plant big trees north and south, rather than east and west, unless you really need cover in those directions.)
- Don't plant near mains, foundations, or other sensitive areas. (Particularly Australian eucalypts, which have gigantic root systems and drop leaves and branches all around them.)
- Keep an eye on your plantings to make sure they're taking in that position. If not, you can move them before they get in trouble.
Choice of trees is real fun, and you can find some of the most beautiful trees very easily:
Chinese pines: These are the Chinese landscape trees which Chinese painters have been trying to paint for thousands of years. They're only small trees, but they're easy to manage, and they are nothing less than fantastic when they start to create their incredible shapes. They're true conifers, and can take any environment, too.
Oaks: These beautiful, long lived trees need space, but they pay back in terms of sheer grandeur and the huge amounts of good mulch, full of tannins, that they shed each year. If you've got a few oaks around, your composting will be a lot easier. They're also great bird and animal habitats, and can create a whole ecosystem all by themselves. Even one oak will be a source of constant entertainment.
This is an article, not a Yellow Pages for Trees, so I can't babble on forever about trees, but you get the message.
Some landscapes are so well planned you'd never guess how much effort went into them- Almost none. Landscapers use natural forms to enhance landscape structures. The garden settings and gazebos, etc, are basically store bought, or fabricated and assembled onsite. The trick is to use the "no dig" principle to enhance these areas. Raised beds can be created in a few minutes, filled with soil, and ready to plant. All of this can be done to your taste, when you feel like doing it. You don't have to kill yourself to have a great garden.
Remember- What you want is the object of your DIY landscaping. The less effort and manual labor involved, the better. Pick and choose, be fussy, and take your time. You'll find you've got a happy, beautiful garden on your hands almost instantly, and you'll be able to enjoy it.
Thank you your blog has helped me a lot in building a lot of north shore landscaping http://www.gardeningnorthside.com.au/landscaping-n... thank you again for this beautiful blog.
You gave me a lot of good ideas. Thank you.

TE Fred Davis gets deal to stay with Redskins
March 29, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — Tight end Fred Davis has re-signed with the Washington Redskins.
The team announced the deal Friday.
A person familiar with the agreement says Davis received a one-year contract after exploring options with the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team did not announce terms of the deal.
Davis might have been one of the most coveted tight ends on the free agent market if he were healthy, but he's recovering from a torn left Achilles suffered in a loss to the New York Giants in October.
He had 24 catches for 325 yards in seven games last year. The 2008 second-round pick has 155 receptions for 1,973 yards and 12 touchdowns in five Redskins seasons.

New Data on the Cultural Sector
Was very pleased to see the Culture Satellite Account (CSA) data finally released yesterday….
We've talked for years about the CSA and it has finally come to fruition. It is a good example of collaboration among federal and provincial government departments and agencies, and not-for-profit organisations – like CHRC which has the unique position of being the only cross sector national nfp in the mix.
CHRC has been recognized for its work on culture sector statistics over the years. The star in our culture stats crown is the 2010 Labour Market Information report for the cultural sector. Rich with data and appendices, it stands as the first such gathering of stats on cultural employers and workers ever compiled in Canada.
And it was reassuring to see that our LMI figures correspond closely to the CSA data released yesterday.
Looking ahead, the CSA provides a way to collect economic and job creation information on an ongoing basis. Years of background work – political in terms of getting all the partners on board; and statistical in terms of hammering out agreement around a Canadian Framework for Culture Statistics that is the basis of the collection and analysis – have brought us to this point. It's a giant step forward in understanding the economic and job creation impact of the cultural sector – including the cultural industries, heritage, all the cultural sub-sectors, and the largely self-employed cultural labour force.
This data will be very useful when working with politicians, government policy makers and private funders to develop the right level and type of support needed by the sector to maximize its already significant impact on Canada's economy.

Since April 6th is the day I believe Jesus was Crucified on our Gregorian Calendar.
As an amateur historian and Bible Scholar, I could nitpick the heck out of this movie, and the book it's based on, starting with all the White Israelites, but I don't really wanna do that.
I have sometimes complained about how a lot of these old Biblical movies seem to kind of just make Jesus into Gahndi, and this has elements of that at times. But when Jesus was on The Cross, Balthazar talked about him dying for the sins of the world, so there is some at least vague knowledge of the actual Gospel there.
Today it's sometimes popular to mock the idea of never showing Jesus's Face or hearing Him talk directly. And I certainly understand the concern that that takes away his humanity. But I've always been a fan of when films try to get as much as they can out of what you don't see.
One moment that really strikes me is after Jesus gives Judah the water and that Roman commander is about to stop him and Jesus just looks at him. The Roman doesn't seem to back down out of fear, he doesn't himself understand why he's stopping. That brief performance says a lot.
As someone who still supports Ron Paul on his foreign policy. Judah saying "Withdraw your legions" really speaks to me as a timelessly relevant line.
The film also depicts it's Arab characters very sympathetically, calling out Anti-Arab Racism. It's amazing how often old films pleasantly surprise me.
Though I can't say I'm too impressed with the handling of female characters.
On a shipping level, I think there is definitely more then meets the eye to the history between Judah and Messala.
Ben-Hur has always made me think of the Star Wars Prequels.
The most obvious and iconic example is the connection between the Chariot Race and the Pod Race.
But I also connect when Messala says "You're either with me, or your against me" to Anakin saying "you're either with me, or you're my enemy". I know that's a common expression, and the people politicizing the Prequels like to draw the analogy mainly to George W Bush. But these two scenes also have in common two friends becoming enemies in this moment, so I don't think it's a coincidence.
Also Arius saying "Your eyes are filled with Hate, good, Hate keeps a man alive, it gives him strength" sounds like a good Sith motto.
Let's also talk about what was an influence on Ben-Hur.
Ben-Hur is also related to a genre largely codified by The Cont of Monte-Cristo, Revenge Fantasy. This was I think my first time watching the film since my obsession with French Pulp Fiction started. And the potential parallels between Judah and Edmund Dantes really jumped out at me.
There are two fictional stories that have iconic Galley Slave sequences associated with them, Ben-Hur and Les Miserables. I'd be curious to know which story it was associated with first, because Les Msierables came first but I'm pretty sure the specific Galley Slave part wasn't necessarily in the original Novel.
It's another old classic that still holds up. They don't make historical films like that anymore, that today we can do gritty and realistic historical films is great, but ya know with Comic Book movies (some) people have figured out that the grim and gritty appeal is limited. Why not bring back Historical films that are fun, theatrical, operatic, colorful and sometimes cheesy?
On this Blog I shall ramble about my various Nerdy interests, and other random topics. I have Discus installed, feel free to comment that was or with your Blogger account. Also don't hesitate to comment on old posts, check em.

Apparently this was the highlight of this week's Clinton Global Initiative conference: Bono did a spot-on imitation of former President Bill Clinton. Without even removing his sunglasses, Bono dropped his brogue and pulled out a raspy Southern drawl that sounded exactly like the silver fox. Naturally, he told the story of the first time the two men met each other. It's not just the accent and the crackly voice, he gets Bill's folksy phrasing and hand gestures. I swear, if you were only listening and not watching, you would think it was Bill. Nailed it, Bono! There's just one thing he missed ...
Bono forgot the classic Clinton lower lip bite. No Bill Clinton impersonation is complete without that pause, self-deprecating/congratulatory grin, and lip bite. He does that just so you can swoon over his sincerity. It's a courtesy Clinton extends to his fans. Maybe Bono doesn't have the out-sized ego to pull that one off.
Anyway, yes, Bill, you are really easy to make fun of. In fact, I can do a pretty good imitation myself (lip bite). Let's see if we can get a quick video here from the CafeMom Studios team of me doing a Clinton impersonation ... Oh, no, they're telling me they're too busy making videos people actually want to see. Okay, never mind then.
Let's watch this instead: Bill Clinton imitating Bono.
He tries, but Bill is so deeply himself, he can't quite pull it off. Nice touch with the sunglasses, though. I've actually been in the same room as Bill Clinton, and he does have a huge, magnetic presence. No wonder the guy became president. Like him or not, he's an original.
What do you think of Bono's Bill Clinton impersonation?

I purchased a flag pole that came with a PVC sleeve. I installed the sleeve according to the instructions.
Over the past couple of years I have moved the flag pole back and forth from the installed sleeve to a flag pole attachment on my dock.
This year, I have been unable to remove the flag pole from the PVC sleeve. It is installed in a sandy area and I think a little sand got down between the sleeve and the pole...the sleeve is only about a 1/16" larger than the pole.
I sprayed half a can of WD-40 down the sleeve and I still can't move it. I also wrapped duct tape around the pole and put a pipe wrench on it to turn it...no luck. My neighbor and I have tried to pull it out of the sleeve...as you can expect, it is difficult to grip and pull up...no luck.
Any suggestion from anyone...thanks in advance...j

MADISON, Wis. -- Barry Alvarez is enjoying his balancing act with the Wisconsin Badgers.
The school's athletic director has returned from a seven-year absence on the sidelines to coach Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 against No. 8 Stanford.
Alvarez stepped in after his hand-picked successor -- Bret Bielema -- accepted the head coaching job at Arkansas. Wisconsin's seniors asked Alvarez to lead them in their final game.
Alvarez says he thinks he is close to finding a replacement for Bielema. An official announcement could come sometime this week.
Wisconsin has won the Rose Bowl three times, all under Alvarez. The Badgers have lost each of the last two Rose Bowls.

The Watkins Memorial High School football team entered its game against Licking Heights on Oct. 25 with a chance to finish with a winning record for just the second time since its last playoff appearance seven years ago.
The Watkins Memorial High School football team entered its game against Licking Heights on Oct. 25 with a chance to finish with a winning record for just the second time since its last playoff appearance seven years ago.
The Warriors were 4-4 overall and 0-2 in the LCL-Big School Division heading into the Battle for Broad Street. They have finished with a losing record five of the past six seasons since going 10-2 and reaching the second round of the Division II, Region 7 playoffs in 2006. The exception was 2010, when they went 6-4.
Watkins Memorial, which finished 2-8 in 2009 and 2012 and went 4-6 in 2007, 2008 and 2011, plays host to Lakewood in its season finale Friday, Nov. 1.
The Lancers were 1-7 overall and 0-2 in the LCL-Big School before playing Licking Valley on Oct. 25.
"There is always something to play for every week," coach Jeff Severino said. "The first thing is always you play for pride, for yourself and your teammates as well as for your school and your community. We're coming off a nice win (52-30 over Heath on Oct. 18) and we want to carry that momentum to the end. You want the seniors to go out strong and you want the underclassmen to be motivated for the offseason and what lies ahead."
Lakewood lost to Granville 48-0 on Oct. 18 after beating Northridge 42-35 on Oct. 11.
"I don't know how young Lakewood is, but looking at film, you can see them getting better and better every week with their veer-option attack," Severino said. "They played Granville tough in the first half. Their quarterback (Austin White) seems to be a pretty good athlete and they have a good running back (Alex Napier)."
Through eight games, Napier led Lakewood's ground attack with 520 yards and five touchdowns on 125 carries. Running back Brandon Ward had 373 yards and one touchdown on 82 carries and White had rushed for 124 yards and three scores.
White, who was 21-for-61 passing for 244 yards and two touchdowns with nine interceptions through eight games, also is among the Lancers' leaders on defense. Before facing Licking Valley, he had 41.5 tackles as an outside linebacker.
Against Heath, Watkins Memorial quarterback Ben Shroyer rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns (30 and 31 yards) and was 5-for-9 passing for 136 yards, including a 41-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Holton.
Holton had three receptions for 85 yards, running back Mike Ford had 70 yards rushing on 10 carries, including a 23-yard touchdown. Travis Hall (2 yards) and Kaleb Goad (3 yards) also had touchdown runs, Justin Fown returned a squib kick 51 yards for a score and Jerrod Lyon added a 41-yard field goal.
Through eight games, Holton was among area receiving leaders (35 catches, 459 yards, 7 TDs), Ford had a team-high 436 yards rushing on 85 carries and Shroyer was 67-for-146 passing for 818 yards and eight touchdowns with nine interceptions.Girls runnersreturn to regional
The girls cross country team reached its top goal by qualifying for the Division I regional meet Oct. 26 at Pickerington North.
Watkins Memorial had its streak of four consecutive regional-qualifying seasons end last year. Led by junior Josie Woosley and freshman Samantha Hyme, the Warriors finished fourth in the district 3 meet Oct. 19 at home.
The top four teams and top 16 individuals at regional advanced to the state meet Saturday, Nov. 2, at National Trail Raceway.
At district, Watkins Memorial scored 121 points to finish behind Upper Arlington (64), Dublin Jerome (112) and New Albany (114) as 17 teams scored, with the top six teams and top 24 individuals advancing to regional.
Woosley led the Warriors, finishing fifth of 120 runners in 19 minutes, 21.20 seconds, and Hyme placed 13th (19:54.18). Also competing were freshman Raechal Schoenberger (23rd, 20:18.02), senior Natalie Watson (31st, 20:51.46), junior Claire Snode (49th, 21:16.72), freshman Lauren Miller (65th, 22:05.09) and sophomore Josie Cotugno (66th, 22:12.73).
Woosley was a state qualifier last year, finishing 97th (19:46.23) of 150 runners.
Andrew Jordan represented the boys team at regional.
The sophomore finished eighth (16:33.87) of 102 runners in the district 2 meet, as the top five teams and top 20 individuals qualified for the regional.
Watkins Memorial finished seventh (159) at district behind champion Jerome (23) as 14 teams scored, with Westerville South (129) securing the final qualifying spot.
Also competing were senior Jordan Rice (27th, 17:15.65), sophomore Tyler Day (38th, 17:36.3), seniors Jared Clark (39th, 17:37.5) and Owen Tennant (47th, 17:52.64) and freshmen Jacob Gero (49th, 17:55.94) and Gerrick Brewer (55th, 18:06.28).Boys soccer teamfalls in tourney
The boys soccer team lost to 16th-seeded and host Pickerington North 2-0 in the second round of the Division I district tournament Oct. 19 to finish 8-7-2 overall.
The 25th-seeded Warriors had a first-round bye.
"It was a solid season, but I thought we had a chance to break out and win a tournament game or two," coach Scott Spangler said. "We played a sloppy game against North and it was still 0-0 at halftime. They got the first goal 10 minutes into the second half and then we were pushing up looking to tie and made a mistake, leaving us exposed and they made it 2-0."
Watkins Memorial won the LCL championship, finishing 6-0-1 in league play. Granville (6-1) was second, followed by Johnstown (3-1-3), Heath (4-3), Northridge (3-4), Lakewood (2-4-1), Licking Valley (1-5-1) and Licking Heights (0-7).
"We made the most of our opportunities in the LCL to win the title, but we struggled with a tougher non-league schedule and then it's tough to go from playing some Division II and III schools to playing bigger, more established programs in the Central District," Spangler said.
"But our 12 seniors helped us change the direction of the program and win a league championship."
Among the seniors were five starters in Cole Bartimus (forward), Zak Blumer (defender/midfielder), Jerrod Lyon (defender), Patrick Murphy (forward) and Blake Park (midfielder).
Blumer, Lyon and Murphy were named first-team all-LCL.
"We're losing a lot of talent at forward and on defense," Spangler said.
"You don't normally see a senior class with 12 players because they all don't make it through all four years. But we (will be) returning six or seven guys who were either starters or part-time starters. Plus, we've got 12 freshmen who played on our j.v. team that won nine games."
Expected to return are juniors Chance Abbitt (forward), Hunter Bock (goalkeeper) and Alec Mathew (goalie), sophomores Nick Spangler (defender) and Michael Theibert (midfielder) and freshmen Sam Blum (midfielder) and Patrick Holmes (midfielder).
Spangler and Theibert were second-team all-league and Abbitt was honorable mention all-league.Volleyball teammade progress
The girls volleyball team doubled its win total from 2012 under the direction of first-year coach Amber Harris.
Watkins Memorial finished 6-16 overall after losing to fifth-seeded and host Worthington Kilbourne 25-21, 25-11, 25-13 in the second round of the Division I district tournament Oct. 16.
The Warriors, who had a first-round bye in the tournament, went 3-19 last year.
Watkins Memorial is losing six seniors in Sydney Brock (outside hitter), Mallory Bugala (defensive specialist), Bri Morris (outside hitter), Carley Schmidt (defensive specialist), Mackenzie Springer (opposite hitter) and Amanda Toth (libero).
The Warriors finished 5-13 in the LCL to tie Licking Heights for seventh, behind Licking Valley (16-2), Newark Catholic (15-3), Granville (14-4), Heath and Lakewood (both 12-6) and Utica (8-10) and ahead of Northridge (3-15) and Johnstown (0-18).
Expected to return are juniors Morgan Fitch (opposite hitter), Jamie Hammond (defensive specialist), Kendra Lancia (defensive specialist) and Shelby Seas (outside hitter) and sophomores Liz Fafiade (middle hitter) and Hannah Holton (middle hitter).
Fafiade was honorable mention all-league.

Sometimes fearing the unknown isn't such a bad idea. Like, for instance, when they're serving "mystery meat" in the cafeteria. Or, on a slightly bigger scale, when your state is considering a new law that could disfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters.
Pennsylvania legislators had no such healthy sense of fear when it came to passing the nation's most restrictive voter ID law just a little over four months ago—practically yesterday, considering the ramifications of such a huge change to election procedures. But when the bill was being debated, lawmakers and state officials supporting the bill insisted it would be a breeze to ensure that no one was disenfranchised; everybody who wanted to vote would still be able to vote. "This is going to be an additional responsibility,"said Daryl Metcalf, the Republican state representative who sponsored the bill, but "one that is not burdensome in any way." Besides, Republican Governor Tom Corbett's office said that only 1 percent of Pennsylvanians lacked a valid ID. Even for that 1 percent, Corbett said, "This is no barrier to voting. You have to have a photo ID to go anywhere." For the scant few presumed to be lacking IDs, the state would provide one free of charge. Easy peasy.
But now, with only three months until Election Day, it's abundantly clear that things are going to be a lot more complicated. The number of voters lacking the required ID is considerably higher than state officials guessed. The plan for giving out free, new IDs is a complete mess. At best, it looks like the way Pennsylvania enforces the law, which deals with a central right of citizenship, will be a rushed affair. At worst, it will leave thousands, if not hundreds of thousands without a chance to cast a ballot.
While the state defends the law in court, officials are simultaneously scrambling to come up with a public education campaign and make new identification cards widely available. Court proceedings started last week in a lawsuit brought by voting rights groups. Testimony on Friday highlighted just how much is left to do to implement the law—and just how much remains unknown. The stakes are high, as Pennsylvania is a swing state in one of the most contentious presidential elections in recent memory.
