A trio of Monday crashes in the area involved school buses, and while no students aboard the buses suffered significant injuries, the driver of a car involved in one of the crashes did when her car became wedged underneath the rear of a bus.
Leann Ketchum, 17, was hurt seriously when she crashed into the back of a Toledo Public Schools bus at about 7 a.m. in the 4300 block of Douglas Road. She was taken to ProMedica Toledo Hospital. A hospital spokesman said Monday that no information was available about a patient of that name.
Miss Ketchum was trapped in the wreckage for about 25 minutes, officials said, and the Toledo Fire Department had to use a hydraulic device to remove her.
Also taken to Toledo Hospital were Ricardo Gonzales, 16, Sophia Sparks, 46, and Denise Jones, whose age was not immediately available.
Ms. Sparks was driving the bus; Ms. Jones is a bus aide. The bus was just starting its run to pick up students who attend Westfield Achievement, a TPS spokesman said, and was at its first stop.
About 7 a.m., the bus was stopped in the southbound curb lane of Douglas Road with its flashers on, according to a police report. Mr. Gonzales, who is a TPS student, was on the bus, and Ms. Sparks was waiting for another student to board the bus, according to the TPS spokesman.
Miss Ketchum, who was southbound, hit the rear of the bus and was trapped in her vehicle. Douglas Road was closed for about 2½ hours, according to police.
Mr. Gonzales was taken to the hospital for observation, according to TPS. The bus was towed to the district's garage. There were no other students on the bus, and no other district bus was dispatched to the scene.
Police are investigating.
A TPS spokesman said another district bus was involved in a crash on the Anthony Wayne Trail at about the same time as the Douglas Road crash. The bus was on its way to Oakdale Elementary, and had two students on board.
A car swerved to hit another vehicle and struck the bus, the TPS spokesman said. The students and driver were not injured, and were transported by another bus to Oakdale.
The spokesman was not sure where on the Anthony Wayne Trail the crash occurred, and information about the crash was not immediately available from the Toledo Police Department.
A third crash, this time involving a Swanton Local Schools bus, occurred about 8:20 a.m. at Airport Highway and Main Street in Swanton, the Ohio Highway Patrol said.
Richard Richie, 24, of Swanton was eastbound on Airport Highway when he failed to stop for a red light at Main Street, according to the highway patrol. His vehicle struck the bus, which was northbound on Main Street and driven by Sharon Domoe, 53, of Swanton.
Ms. Domoe and Mr. Richie were both taken by ambulance to ProMedica St. Luke's Hospital where they were treated for injuries.
Swanton Superintendent Jeff Schlade said there were about 20 students on board at the time of the crash, as the bus was on its way to the district's two elementary schools.
Several students suffered minor bumps and cuts. Another bus arrived to take students to school, and a staging area for parents to pick up students was set up in a nearby parking lot.
The patrol is investigating the crash.

Discussion in 'General Gallery' started by Xmetal, Sep 30, 2005.
Shot these a few hours ago....
Critque accepted.
wow!! These are great! My favourite has to be the keyboard one.... I'm actually about to post some pics I took last night of a band... the colours of your shots really are great!! Nice work
Great shots. It feels like it's rockin.
i like them all except the first because it's too busy and the second because it looks like a product photo I think.
Nice work.
drum shots are cool
Nice, I like them all but 3,4 & 7 are my favourites
Hmm.. What band is this? Mapex ProM-series = expensive.
You captured the motion on stage very beautiful.. (y)
hahaha... i see someone's been having fun with their 50mm!!
I love them all. Especially the first on with the drums, for the exact same reason that Daniel doesn't like it. I love how busy it is and how shiny everything is! (yes i'm such a girl ;-) )
Number 2 is great... although there's not much detail on the keyboards, so it doesn't hold my attention all that long.
Number 3 works better with its lack of detail I think. If there was heaps of detail in that guitar then it'd be too messy with all the detail in the carpet and pedals.
Number 4 - my boyfriend would drool over for hours. He's such a gear head.
Number 5 - I love the tiered cymbals look.
Unfortunately numbers 6 and 7 don't really do it all that much for me. I think the Dof's really distracting in the last. but overall I loved the whole series! Looks like you had heaps of fun there!
I get all self conscious when I'm photographing Adrian's band when they practise... coz they all watch me. :blushing: And I think they get a bit annoyed. Meh. When I make them millions by having kick ass album art, they'll thank me. hehehe.
Shots 2 and 6 were shot freehand so it explains the lack of detail - i've got lousy hands.
Foffen: they're a coverband that lace all their songs with funk, and i've clocked up a few hours on that particular drumkit - very smooth sound.
I'm sorry if the pictures aren't razor-sharp, I have very poor eyesight and focusing in low light is very difficult for someone like me. I should've explained that in my intro thread. Anyways, i was shoving people out of the way to get these photos (they were all drunk) and i'm elated with what I managed to get.
I'll also mention mention that I accumilated an apprentice during my night, I handed the camera over to the guitarist's sister and she shot around 255 photos! I've already put a photo of her in the portrait section, she did some extremely good works and I said i'd see her at the camera shop soon.

Left behind by emigration, but determined to stay
As one of just two of my classmates still living in Ireland, I know moving abroad would bring me better employment and social opportunites, but I am determined to create a professional life for myself here, writes Bridget Fitzsimons.
As one of just two of my classmates still living in Ireland, I know moving abroad would bring me better employment and social opportunites, but I am determined to create a professional life for myself here, writes Bridget Fitzsimons.
I am one of the unemployed graduates. A statistic that gets written about endlessly in newspapers, analysed on radio and television and pitied by those older than us, who thought our future was secure. In the miasma of journalism that has been done about unemployed graduates, we all seem to blend into one unified entity. Disillusioned and focused on emigration to London, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or any other country that will provide hope when there's so little left for us at home.
The media has created an image of the graduate as something sad and hopeless. I would like to think I am neither of those things. Yes, the constant search for employment is crushing, especially when you often receive no reply at all. I am at the stage where I would be happy to receive rejection emails.
I am one of just two of my university friends still in Ireland. It is hard to make an argument for Dublin when nobody lives here anymore. We're planning a class reunion and it's easier for everyone to have it in the UK, because that's where the majority of the group are now living.
I spent half of my childhood in the UK, returning to Ireland in the late 90s. As I grew up, everything seemed hopeful. I worked part-time through school and college, but by the time I graduated in 2010, the panic had set in about my future here. Emigration seemed like the only viable option for arts graduates and we were told at our graduation ceremony that the best idea for all of us was to pursue further study.
Since then, one of my friends has been urging me to join him in London. If I were to move, I would have a ready-made social circle thanks to the scores of university and childhood friends now living there. I could earn money and feel like I'm contributing to society again. There's nothing more demoralising than searching for work, applying for jobseeker's benefit and trying to create a sense of identity while watching your friends do extraordinarily well abroad.
It's not that I think that those who leave are abandoning Ireland. I completely understand why they go. The government has given graduates very little incentive to stay. There has been no concerted effort to create a jobs stimulus, so it's stay and look for any type of work you can find, or leave and do something you enjoy. Further emphasis is being placed on science, technology and business degrees. The sad reality is that without experience, you don't get work, so many who have concentrated ón their studies over the last few years are now left with few prospects.
This has also led to exploitation in some cases, as unpaid work experience and internships have become the norm for those trying to break into the jobs market. I am happy to work hard to get to where I want to be, but schemes such as JobBridge allow companies free labour with little hope of a permanent job at the end for applicants.
In theory, leaving would be the best course of action for me, but there are several factors holding me back. While I miss my friends abroad, I want to stay in Ireland. While I'm not doing so at the moment, I want to be able to create a professional life here and to contribute to Ireland's economic recovery, in whatever small way I can.
I have no plans to stop hunting for jobs for hours a day and I refuse to resign myself to permanent unemployment. My generation are hungrier and more willing to do whatever it takes to succeed than ever. We won't have anything handed to us a plate, and will have to work hard to achieve our goals. I look forward to a time when Ireland is back on its feet, but it is important to me to stay here during the tough times as well.
Read more perspectives of young emigrants and others who are determined to stay in Ireland in last week's article as part of the Generation Next series, 'The longer people stay away, the less likely they are to return'.

EVSC Backpack Club Looks to Changes Lives One Meal at a Time
We need your help in making sure kids right here in the tri-state are getting good, healthy meals when the school week is over.
Unfortunately for many kids in Evansville, the best (and sometimes only) meals they get are during the school day. Due to tough financial situations at home, where parents are faced with putting food on the table or keeping a roof over the family's head, many of these kids don't get the important nutrition they need on the weekends or over holiday breaks.
As the husband of a local teacher who deals with kids from low-income families, I hear stories about kids who come to school on Monday mornings and devour a plate of food in the cafeteria because the last meal they ate was lunch the Friday before. It's a sad reality, that you can help us change.
State Farm Agent Mary Rokicki and 106-1 KISS-FM are proud to help support the Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation's Backpack Club. The goal of the Club is to fill backpacks full of non-perishable food items which the EVSC discreetly delivers to the students who need it most.
Food donations can be dropped off at the 106-1 KISS-FM offices in downtown Evansville, GFS Marketplace on Burkhardt Road, or at the office of State Farm Agent Mary Rokicki on the south end of the Schnuck's complex on North Green River Rd.
View EVSC Backpack Club Drop Off Locations in a larger map
These are the items we're looking for:
- 100% fruit juice in aseptic packaging
- Entrees (shelf stable), i.e. Lunchables or cans in individual serving size
- 2% milk in aseptic packaging
- Small cans of vegetables and fruits
- Oatmeal
- Tuna salad kits
- Cereal bars
- Microwave lunch cups, i.e. ravioli, etc.
- Cereal individual servings in bowls or boxes
- Raisins
- Pop-tarts
- Trail mix
- Soup
- Dried Fruit
- Peanut butter
- Crackers
- Fruit cups – shelf stable or applesauce
Be sure to stop by and drop off your donation during our live broadcasts at State Farm Agent Mary Rokicki's office on the following days:
- Wednesday, December 5th from 11am-1p with The Rob
- Friday, December 7th from 4-6pm with The Rob
- Wednesday, December 12th from 11am-1pm with Ryan O'Bryan

Graeme Swann will complete his preparations for the first Test against New Zealand by playing in two one-day matches for Nottinghamshire next week.
The England off-spinner began his comeback from surgery on his right elbow by bowling 20 overs yesterday without taking a wicket on a pitch that was unresponsive to spin.
Nottinghamshire do not have a championship match next week so Swann will play in Sunday's YB40 match against his former county Northamptonshire at Wantage Road and against Kent at Trent Bridge next Wednesday.
Stuart Broad bowled 18 overs in the day after a morning consultation with England team doctor Nick Peirce. He took two wickets but again returned early to the pavilion suffering from groin pain, a result of bruising he sustained batting on the opening day. Broad is expected to take a break before the first Test at Lord's on May 16 rather than play for his county in one day cricket.
"If Stuart thinks he has done enough in the two games he has played, and I'm sure he will, he will not play again before the Test match," said Nottinghamshire director of cricket Mick Newell. "The last conversation I had with Swanny was he's going to play at Northampton on Sunday and here next Wednesday."
Swann and Broad were frustrated by an obdurate century from Will Smith who had five seasons with Nottinghamshire before he joined Durham six years ago.
Smith batted through the day for the 14th century of his career but his first at Trent Bridge, the ground where he lost the Durham captaincy after a mauling by Nottinghamshire in 2010.
Smith had scraped just 62 runs in his six previous championship innings this season, but he was promoted to open in place of the out-of-form Keaton Jennings and he blunted Nottinghamshire's attack by passing 50 for the first time in the championship in almost a year.
Smith's century took 270 balls and included 13 fours, the best of them tucked off his legs, and he shared a defiant sixth wicket stand of 115 in 47 overs with Paul Collingwood which helped Durham atone for their first day lapses in the field.
Broad took his first wicket when Ben Stokes gave a return catch trying to work him to leg but had little luck with the second new ball until Collingwood nibbled him to Chris Read.
Broad now has 67 wickets in 13 championship matches in six seasons since he joined Nottinghamshire from Leicestershire but, barring a dramatic loss of form, it will probably be another year before he plays for them again.
Swann will hope to have a longer bowl in Durham's second innings to prove his fitness ahead of the Lord's Test having undergone major surgery on his bowling for the second time in four years.
"I don't think he particularly wants to go through six weeks or two months of rehabilitation again given the importance of the next year to year-and-a-half with what England have got on," Newell said.
"Swanny likes playing. I don't think Swanny likes not playing, he finds it very boring. If he can't play for any length of time and an Up the Jungle series or a Dancing on Ice comes up I'm sure he will take it."

Anyway, I came down in the morning and the screen was off as if it had gone into sleep mode, but shaking the mouse or tapping the keyboard did not work. So, I tried turning it off and on again. The bootup screen came on, and the bar filled nearly up to the top, but then froze there. I left it for five minutes

I may be mistaken but I believe it is the interaction of
and aspirin that is the thetherapuetic underpinnings for the dual medication to help prevent clots with DES. Each medication has different mechanisms for treatment of blood clots and alone it has been shown are not as effective as together. Following your logic to separate to avoid the interaction of the drugs is somehow beneficial! would be like taking either aspirin or plavix as the sole treatment?

They are probably unrelated - but possible related in a distant way. This is called a subconunctival hemorrhage and can be caused by coughing, sneezing, hard straining, and eye rubbing.

Are The Eagles The Worst Franchise In The NFL?
|Linc Wear: 1 wear, 1 spare, 1 puke
Is this now the worst franchise in the league?
As we've seen from last week's breakdown of the roster, there are maybe a handful of players on the current roster that will be part of the next tolerable Eagles team. But I think that it goes beyond that, or the sense that the fan base is so checked out that I'm starting to wonder if there won't be multiple blackouts by the end of the year. Rather, there's this.
What, beyond even the tailing return that is Shady McCoy, the occasional flashes from DeSean Jackson, or the moments of promising competence from youngsters Fletcher Cox and Mychael Kendricks... does this franchise have going for it right now?
We have a roster of quasi-famous coaches that match and mirror the free agent laden lineup, in that what got them paid here was done elsewhere, and they've shown no further ability to perform at that level. Seriously, Bobby April's special teams can't get 11 on the field against a figgie, or fail to give up a killshot return TD. He also has his kid on the staff for some reason. Howard Mudd's OL is one of the worst in the league. Todd Bowles' secondary was weak, and his entire unit has been worse than Juan Castillo. Jim Washburn's Wide Nine has become the signature joke of the era. As soon as the Fat Man hits the slab, they will follow, spread to the winds of unemployment, retirement and richly deserved obscurity.
There is no home field advantage to speak of, unless you really get turned on by environmentally friendly architecture. The division is weak, but the first place team has recent rings, the second place team has better talent and an owner that, while functionally insane and , at least is truly committed to the success of his team. The third place team just blew them out and has a franchise QB. I get that one year isn't everything, but it's really hard not to see how this franchise isn't the worst in the division.
Well, let's expand it to the conference, then. Carolina has a worse record and a terrible recent history, but at least they know who their QB will be in two years. The Rams somehow lost to the Jets today at home, but at least they have a coach with a history of tolerable defense and a big mess of draft picks that might work out. Arizona crushed the Eagles earlier this year, have a plus defense and solid home-field advantage, and might be one player (OK, a QB) away from being a playoff team. Detroit went to the playoffs last year, has the game's best WR, and while I'm not in love with their future prospects due to their questionable character... well, you'd still rather be a Lions fan right now. Amazing, no? (Everyone else in the conference is above .500 and in playoff contention, so let's not continue the exercise.)
How about the AFC? I'll give you the Chiefs and Jaguars, and won't even go down the path of how these teams have been bad so long that they don't mind rooting for dreadful teams. Cleveland is also probably in this category, even though I think that they are just going through growing pains before becoming a run of the mill ordinary team. Oakland is also pretty hopeless due to the ownership situation and spectacularly misguided draft pick bonanza that was sent to the Bengals for Carson Palmer. Miami, the Jets and Bills are all 4-6, have no chance for as long as the Patriots are what they are, and are all pretty much devoid of hope and intriguing young talent; I'd call them equivalently hopeless. Tennessee is pretty much where the Eagles will be in a year or two, once the current regime is flushed. San Diego is kind of the West Coast version of the Eagles, in that the coach has been there too long and has failed them, and the only people who seem to have not gotten that sign the checks. But at least if you a Charger fan, you probably live there. And trust me on this -- it's a lot easier to root for a terrible team when they come with California weather. Finally, you can argue that Bengal Fan has it worse, but they also have the best WR in the game that's not named Megatron, and the QB looks like a keeper, too. I'm also a fan of that defense, and the top two teams in the division are graying fast. I'd rather be a Bengals fan now. The rest are playoff teams and off the board.
So, let's recap, shall we? The five worst NFL franchises to root for are now...
1) Chiefs
2) Jaguars
3) Raiders
4) Browns
6) Rams
7) Panthers
8) Jets
9) Bills
10) Titans
Which leaves us with just one question for the rest of this year.
Can they crack the top three?

Immigration issues can affect global talent pool
Published 5:40 pm, Friday, May 10, 2013
A global economy means that companies often need to be able to access a global talent pool.
When specific talent cannot be found locally, or even within the U.S., companies begin looking at the availability of workers based in various locations around the world. This is especially true among many Houston companies, since Houston is a hotbed for the oil and gas industry.
Bringing workers across borders, means following rigorous, time-consuming immigration processes in order to obtain the required work permits and visas that enable foreign workers to be legally employed in the U.S.
Immigration is an ever-changing, extremely complex process that calls for the proper legal assistance and guidance from an attorney and/or law firm that specializes in immigration law.
Kenneth Harder is a Partner at Dunbar Harder, PLLC. His firm provides immigration solutions for companies that need to access international talent for U.S.-based companies and projects. They develop plans for companies to be able to comply with the complex immigration regulations that govern the process for being able to legally employ foreign nationals in the U.S.
He says that when people think about immigration that they typically do so in the context of illegal immigration.

"Counter-intuitively, obtaining legal authorization to be able to engage the services of highly educated alien workers is often a time-consuming and costly process," he said. "Because of these costs and administrative burdens, companies usually hire alien workers only if they must."
The energy industry may be a global industry in terms of where oil and gas exploration takes place, but much of the planning takes place right here in Houston. This means that foreign workers may be needed on a strategic basis to help achieve the developmental long-term goals of these companies, as well as the goals of those companies that support the oil and gas industry.
Foreign-born workers are therefore brought to the U.S. to assist with various projects, some of which may last for just a few months, while others may last a few years.
Harder said that companies tend to be more interested in what a person can do, versus where that person may be from or presently located. Once that non-U.S. worker has been identified, the company must then begin the process for obtaining legal work authorization.
Another reason for bringing in foreign workers might be for foreign investment in the U.S.
"The State of Texas and various municipal governments send delegations abroad to recruit investment for local communities. Such foreign investments often result in the creation of lots of local jobs for U.S. workers," Harder said.
Harder said that two opposite trends are happening right now.
The first has to do with the restrictive manner in which immigration laws are administered, which have the effect of hampering and even discouraging foreign investment in the U.S.
The second has to do with the Immigration Reform Bill, which recognizes the fact that the current system is in need of an overhaul to more closely reflect the global economy in which we now live.
"The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a subdivision of the Department of Homeland Security, is responsible for deciding eligibility of alien workers for a visa classification that authorizes employment in the U.S. USCIS interprets and applies immigration law and regulations in an extraordinarily restrictive manner," Harder said. "This often has the effect of slowing or frustrating plans to bring foreign investment to the U.S.
"This regulatory obstacle to business development discourages job creation since companies may be unable to access the specific talent needed for a particular project or may be unwilling to send investment dollars where their key managers are not welcomed."
Additionally, the lead time for beginning the immigration process is increasing.
Harder says that companies really need to start the process at least six months in advance, and that it may be even longer for other workers depending on the countries in which they are located.
The proposed Immigration Reform Bill that is currently being considered addresses many issues including the legal immigration selection process, as well as the challenges associated with illegal immigration.
"If that happens, we may finally have a rational immigration selection system that encourages business development and jobs for U.S. workers," he said.

iGaming Awards You Want to Win
When it comes to iGaming awards, the International Gaming Business (IGB) Awards are the equivalent of the Oscars in the movie business. These awards are handed out every February by the publishers of iGBA Magazine in a lavish London ceremony that coincides with the iGB trade show.
Newbies and experienced affiliates alike seriously covet these awards, and with good reason. The iGB awards ceremony is not only a lavish gala, it's one of the few times that the relatively small igaming industry gets together under one roof. Networking at the gambling Oscars is a lot easier if you've just been handed a, Best Affiliate Award.

Rebecca - posted on 03/26/2010 ( 1 mom has responded )
School holidays start today, so my 3 year old is going to her dad from today till next thursday (he is picking her up from nursery which finishes early today). I must say i always find the separation hard, and I always tell my daughter I will miss her (so that she knows she is missed). it's been 6 months since i broke up with her dad, and i don't want him back, but i do wish i could give her a non-broken family.
The whole week she has been excited about going there and because winter is on its way and the weather is changing i bought her a whole lot of new clothes yesterday, and she was excited packing her bag with new clothes. we spoke about how much fun she was going to have there (i try to be positive about it for her sake) but as usual i said i would miss her. her response was 'i don't know how to choose.' i was taken aback and said 'my darling you don't have to choose; you can love your daddy and your mommy, and we both love you very much.' i then went on to give her a whole list of people she can love and that she doesn't have to choose between any of them.
then she said something about another little girl we know, Sophia, whose parents are getting divorced and it's very ugly and my daughter overheard a conversation we were having about Sophia feeling forced to choose and how hard this is on her, and she seems to have got the impression that she is supposed to choose. i reassured her that this is definitely not the case and that she was allowed to enjoy her time with daddy and enjoy her time with mummy.
she seemed ok after that, but this morning when i was trying to get her breakfasted and dressed she was really dragging her feet and saying she was too tired etc. i tried to get her excited about going to daddy and ouma, but it didn't work. she just stared at me; eventually i asked her: 'don't you want to go visit daddy and ouma?'and she said she didn't.
i pointed out that she had been excited all week and that she would have fun there and a few minutes later she said she was missing ouma (her dad's mother). i said well, you can see ouma just now, you just need to have breakfast and get dressed. eventually she did.
i tried to call her dad to explain that she was feeling vulnerable and he didn't answer his phone. i decided to try again shortly, but when the phone rang, i thought it was him. it wasn't - it was my daughter phoning on my husband's phone, which is something that's never ever happened before. apparently she told my husband she wanted me, so he suggested she call me. i again reassured her that we would survive without her, but of course we loved her and she mustn't feel bad about spending time with her daddy.
after the phone conversation with her, i tried to phone her dad again to tell him what is going on, but since he wasn't answering i called his mother and explained to her. i told her she is obviously feeling really vulnerable and to please let her call me if she is feeling sad or missing me. his mother asked if i wanted to cancel it, and i said no, but if things get really bad let's play it by ear and talk and figure it out together.
however, i am sitting here alone and just feeling awful on behalf of my daughter. she clearly doesn't want to leave me, but she is also clearly missing them. i don't know if she is just realising now that we are NOT going to get back together this time; our relationship has been unstable and there have been break ups that we patched up in the past (starting from when she was 3 months old).
i just don't know if i am handling things correctly or if there's anything more i can do, or something i should not do or etc. i want my daughter to grow up confident and loved, and this is obviously causing her a great deal of confusion and insecurity.
i have had many people tell me kids are resilient and they bounce back etc but i honestly can't stop crying about it right now. even tho he is the one who walked out on us, i still wish i could have held our relationship together for her sake.
(you can see my earlier post to understand why i have a husband who is my older child's father and my ex-(non-legal)-husband.)

The movie was decent/good. Had some problems with the pacing and acting. Check out a review here http://www.notsodaily.com/2013/04/rapid-review-evil-dead.html

The incidence which i came across ,we have heard this a many times in form stories. But the main reason to tell it once again is the moral of the incidence and the feelings that poured out of me at that point of time.
Today at 5pm , i was waiting at the Villanova station waiting for my train to Strafford .As i was drenched in my thoughts i saw a sparrow lying dead near R5 rail track ,felt bad for the small life that passed away , than suddenly i noticed a another sparrow sitting by its dead body , like a innocent creature , thinking that his better half was playing possum .
He waited and waited for his better half to get up and fly back home but what that innocent bird knew she has left him for good.
Suddenly i heard a horn , holy cow it was an Amtrak train at its best , within blink of an eye the train passed separating the two loved ones and flunged them apart. But still the male sparrow had the heart to fly back to the dead body of its better half.
I eyes had filled up looking at them. I could feel the pain in my heart , because i seen relationships,
the bonds breaking and ending up on a bitter note between friends , brothers and girlfriend-boyfriend. And unfortunately i have been part of those
broken bonds and i have been living it till date.
My train arrived at the station i glanced at the bird and said to the "veuf sparrow " fly away buddy fly away , for your life doesn't stop here.
"Birds-Animal , the number of bonding and the knowledge of bonding they possess is very less. But they have heart to keep the owes of a bond.
We humans have emotions ,lots of bonds but we never keep our owes towards our loved ones thats the most wierdest and agonizing side of life"

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The runner-up in Harrisburg's Democratic mayoral primary could get another shot at Democratic nominee Eric Papenfuse, this time as a Republican.
Officials said Friday that Dan Miller, who placed second behind Papenfuse in the Democratic race, was the top vote-getter for the Republican nomination. Dauphin County elections chief Jerry Feaser said Miller, the city controller, received 196 write-in votes.
Chuck Ardo, a Miller campaign consultant, says Miller is vacationing and plans to confer with his advisers once he returns. Ardo says there's "very strong support" in the Miller camp for him to run in the general election as a Republican.
If Miller does that, it would be a three-way race. Miller would face bookstore owner Papenfuse, who defeated incumbent Mayor Linda Thompson in Tuesday's primary, and independent Nevin Mindlin.

Home Cinema System
Ask a Home Cinema System Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
I have bought a soundbar SC-HTB20 and have connected it up with an HDMI lead from the HDMI ARC to the sub-woofer as instructed. The tv is TX-L32E30B. The light comes on the sub-woofer but there is no sound. I have pressed TV on the remote. The sound bar is horizontal and connected to the sub-woofer. What am I missing out? I get 'Feature unavailable' if I press VIERA LINK on my TV remote. (not something I have used until now).
I think that you should perhaps leave this for Panasonic to sort out. I only bought the machine today and I should not have to pay to get it working. You are obviously having problems. Please cancel my query and do not deduct amount from My MasterCard.
Thank you for your time.

Samsung Chat 350 unveiled, it's like a Champ 3300 with QWERTY
Samsung will announce a new QWERTY phone pretty soon – the Chat 350 (model number C3500).
The Chat 350 is the third Samsung phone included in the Chat series (or Ch@t, how the company spells it). It can be seen as a QWERTY version of the cheap Samsung Champ 3300: it doesn't look too different and comes with the same unimpressive 2.4 inch QVGA touchscreen display.
The rest of the new phone's features fail to impress as well: quad-band GSM connectivity without 3G, Bluetooth 2.1, music player, FM radio, 2MP camera, and MicroSD card support (up tp only 8GB). Since it has a sliding keyboard, the Chat 350 measures 100 x 52 x 16 mm, hence it's quite thick.
Details regarding the launch date and price of the Samsung Chat 350 have not been unveiled.
