A 16-member commission, appointed in Connecticut to examine last month's shooting rampage at an elementary school, kicked off its deliberations Thursday, even as the nation continued to wrestle with finding policies on how to deal with gun violence.
The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission was appointed to review a variety of gun issues including school safety and mental health questions. It is expected to issue preliminary recommendations by mid-March.
The advisory commission was created by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Jan. 3, just weeks after the attack by Adam Lanza on the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Using an assault weapon, Lanza killed 20 children and six adults in the school. He began his spree by killing his mother in the home they shared and ended it by killing himself.
The lead prosecutor in the case, Danbury State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky III, told the panel that the State Police investigating the attack may not issue its report on the crime's details until June. He said he would work with the panel, but noted that there are confidentiality issues involving Lanza's mental state at the time.
With the massacre still fresh in people's minds, many policy-makers already have begun focusing on two areas: mental health issues and access to weapons and ammunition.
There is a constitutional right to bear arms, Malloy told the commission on Thursday but "that right cannot come at the expense of public safety."
Malloy has made clear his commission's mandate.
"Shortly after the initial horror and the immediate grief over what occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, there was one question on the lips of many of our residents: How do we make sure this never happens again," the governor has said.
"This commission will look for ways to make sure our gun laws are as tight as they are reasonable, that our mental health system can reach those that need its help and that our law enforcement has the tools it needs to protect public safety, particularly in our schools," he said, setting out the panel's agenda.
The first meeting came after President Barack Obama announced his package of gun-control measures, including a renewed ban on assault weapons and on high-capacity ammunition magazines; he also called for more money for mental health diagnoses and treatment and school safety preparedness.
On Thursday, a proposed law to renew the ban on assault weapons was formally introduced in Congress, where it is expected to face conservative opposition.
The Connecticut group began its work by calling experts who had been involved in the sad litany of previous school massacres in Columbine, Colo. and at Virginia Tech.
The 1999 shooting at Columbine High School remains the deadliest high school shooting in the nation's history. Two seniors, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, murdered 12 students and one teacher. They injured 21 additional students, with three other people being injured while attempting to escape the school. The pair then committed suicide.
Former Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, a member of the panel that reviewed the Columbine rampage, urged the Connecticut group to focus on the intersection of mental health and gun violence. He said "incident after incident" since Columbine has shown there's a relationship between the two issues.
"What we don't want is a policy debate in this country, I think, or in Connecticut, that gets locked down around the polar opposites around gun control or the polar opposites around mental health or mental health funding," said Ritter, according to media reports from the commission meeting. "Part of this has to be this broad discussion and a discussion about the intersection."
Law professor Richard Bonnie, from the University of Virginia, urged the panel to move slowly and noted that it could take years for the group to finish its task. He warned that acting prematurely could lead to "disproportionate responses," such as eroding privacy rights for the mentally ill. Bonnie was a consultant to the group that reviewed the Virginia Tech massacre.
On April 16, 2007, a senior went on a rampage on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va. Seung-hui Cho killed 32 people and wounded 17 others in two separate attacks, approximately two hours apart, before committing suicide. Six others were injured escaping from classroom windows.
The attack is considered the deadliest shooting incident by a single gunman in U.S. history.

Police Release Mugshots, Video from Massive Ohio Metal Festival Fight
New details are emerging in the huge altercation that unfolded at last weekend's Firefest 2014 in Lakewood, Ohio. According to Lakewood police, who have released dashboard camera video and mugshots of those arrested, the disagreement began long before the music event. Allegedly, both sides contacted each other beforehand to arrange what turned into a melee involving as many as 50 fans.
Firefest, a metal and hardcore concert held at the Foundry Concert Club, earlier featured Winds of Plaque and Oceano. Death Before Dishonor and headliners Ringworm were unable to go on, however, after authorities shut down the venue on Saturday.
Five people were injured, and 23 were arrested -- most of whom, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, were not from the area. Police identified the warring factions as crews called Friends Stand United from Boston, and Swing On Sight Family from Youngstown. A handful of gunshots were also reported, though luckily no wound reports followed.
"There were two groups of 50 or more people (total)," according to Lakewood Police Chief Tim Malley. "By all appearances, they came together through some sort of mutual agreement." A sound engineer at the Foundry Club said some members of the crowd had baseball bats. A local prosecutor said interviews were on going, and that charges -- which most likely would include aggravated rioting -- will follow.

The release of Research In Motion's BlackBerry 10 operating system, along with its new Q10 and Z10 smartphones, on Wednesday will reveal whether the company will join the likes of Samsung and Nokia, TradeMonster's Jon Najarian said on CNBC.
"It's already had it's make-or-break moment. That's when the stock was $6.22 last September," he said Tuesday on CNBC's "Fast Money."
"It is a show-me time, though," he added. "Have they in fact joined Samsung and Nokia?"
(Read More: Blackberry 10 Is 'Lovely, Fast and Efficient': David Pogue)
Najarian said a few concerns would have to be addressed as RIM unveils its new smartphones:
- Price point: "Does the Z10 come out at a price point that people want to see?" Najarian noted that Apple's iPad Mini appeared to miss its target.
- Glitches: Problems with the new BlackBerry 10 operating system would impact the stock, Najarian said, reminding that RIM's previous attempt at a touchscreen phone was "not 100 percent."
- Battery life
- Web browser
Along with the introduction of its Z10 touchscreen smartphone and the Q10, which features a physical keyboard, Research In Motion also announced that it would change business name to BlackBerry.
But Najarian was specific about what would be considered a success.
(Read More: RIM, Now Named Blackberry, Finally Launches BlackBerry 10)
"If the operating system and the price point are right, then it's going to be good. If they're wrong, it's going to be bad," he said.
(Read More: Sink or Swim Time for RIM as BlackBerry 10 Launch Looms)
The new BlackBerry smartphones, Najarian expected, would be positive for the company, but buying the stock was another story.
"I think it's going to be a really slick phone, but I think you can reload, pick it up more like $13 rather than chasing it up here to $16," he said.

One of the best...
The 3G iPhone is undenaibly one of the best phones out on the market. And for a number of reasons
1. Visual Voicemail -- I hate having to listen through my voicemail. Seeing it in a list is amazing. Very, very few phones have this one. Apple and RIM, as far as I'm aware, are the only ones to offer it. However where I am, its only Apple.
2. The App Store -- The App Store allows you to customize your iPhone with over 10,000 applications avaliable. Written to use dedicated APIs in the OS X software, these apps appear as if they BELONG on the phone. No other phone has this level of integration, or at least not for this amount of applications. (This barrs apps that are poorly written--because those do exist).
3. Largest Touch Screen Avaliable -- The iPhone has a 3.5" 480 x 320 24-bit display. While there are other phones with 24-bit (16.7 million color) displays, and some even have better white balance, the iPhone has the largest (again as far as I'm aware--and I've done quite a bit of research) and very, very clear display. It also features Apple's patended multi-touch, which handles gestures like no other.
4. SMS Capacity -- I know this is stretching it a bit, but I'm just a person that likes to keep EVERY single txt ever sent. I like to know what I talked about with that person. The iPhone has bascially an unlimited capacity for txts. I think its something like 100,000. Compare that with other phone capacities of 50-250, or the occasional 500.

Good Phone
HexagonalToastt2 has owned it for more than one year before publishing this review
I loved it. It was a really great phone. I loved the texting on it and it was good with everyday use. One of the things i didn't like was the battery. I would get bored sometimes and i would only use it for a few hours and it would die. You have to charge it whenever you can. Another thing is the internet. It was pretty slow most of the time and it was choppy when you moved it around.Build quality 10/10Reception 10/10Call quality 10/10Internet 6/10Multimedia 10/10Camera 8/10UI speed 10/10Everyday usage 10/10Text input 10/10Display 10/10Battery 9/10

iPhone = iFun, iCool, iAnnoying
I have had the iPhone 3G for about 6 months now. I left Verizon, "my" phone service provider for years in order to get it. I must say, this phone is extremely user friendly, and a joy to play around with. It's endless library of applications make this phone everything from a personal restaurant finder, to a doodle pad. This phone, as we all know, is revolutionary; and although there are so many "competitors" no phone has come even somewhat close to the iPhones brilliant design, and ease of use. It is a complete iPod, and a crazy good mobile internet device. Although the iPhone is a decent PHONE, and somewhat good (yet lacking) messaging system, there are a few issues with it that, if Apple doesn't address with a software update(s), will be replaced with a Blackberry before my two year contract is up.
Here is what it needs:
1.) Landscape keyboard for text messaging
2.) More personalism (example: replacing the boring and ugly black background screen with an image)
3.) Video Camera- a $19 dollar pay as you go phone most likely has this feature. I can play on a full-fledged piano on my iPhone, yet I can't capture video? What's up with that?!
4.) Copy and Paste- the name says it all.
5.) Camera Enhancing- a flash option would be great, but can't be added through a software update. Instead, lets see some zoom options, image stabling, and color options.
Thats it. Five simple fixes that Apple must be aware of, its just a matter of time before we see...Design 10/10Features 8/10Performance 7/10

I have been using this device for 3 weeks now and I am ready to write my review.I resisted the iPhone for a very long time because of small things like the lack of voice dialing and limited customization. I was also a little put out by all the iPhone haters that write poor reviews (even though they obviously never owned the phone). I did not want to give up my one touch-hands free- dialing on my built in bluetooth in my truck, nor did I want to lose the custom ringtones and graphics on my blackberry.I finally broke down and decided to try it. I figured I had little to lose since I could just return it and cancel the service plan if I did not like it. I even arranged with the AT&T store that I would pay no restocking fee if I returned the phone.After three weeks I am completely hooked. This is the most amazing cellular device I have ever owned (and I have owned a little of everything). It is not a perfect device but it is the best device out there. I am giving it high ratings for that very reason. Not because it is perfect but because I truly believe it is the best available.Before I go into pros and cons I do have to say that this device is a far cry better than the first iPhones which I played with for hours on end in the AT&T stores. The speakers are better, the features are better, and the hardware in general is better.This phone is truly like having a mini computer/ multimedia communications device in your pocket. Calling it a phone is a true lack of understanding...Design 9/10Features 8/10Performance 10/10

I had been with verizon for almost 4 yrs until recently i had some billing issues that couldnt be resolved with them , so i cancelled my service with verizon.I was hesitant to go with AT&T but i thought wht the heck ...i purchased the iphone about 2 weeks ago and am blown away by the features that acompany such an outstanding device, the only thing i dont like is the lack of MMS, which by my understanding, there would be an update for it this month,and it is true what everyone is saying ,having an iphone does cost more ,but only about 5 bucks a month which is a drop in the bucket,i am used to having to pay for the unlimited data plan and unlimited messaging , and the only price dif is the messaging , not a big deal, AT&T service is acually better so not a bad deal ..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK APPLE/AT&T!!!!!!!!Design 8/10Features 10/10Performance 9/10

"I" 'm not to thrilled with this "Phone"
Was on the fence about renewing my contract w/ the guys in blue but decided to give the IPhone 3G a chance earlier this year. I initially liked the touchscreen interaction over that of the BBerry Storm and the apps were easier to download rather than going through BBerry's new App World. However, it only took me a month to break it. Device started cramping up while in the web and occassionally I'd have to re-boot it just to make the phone hang up. Heard from a friend some IPhones were exhibiting this characteristic where if you hang up too quick the device wont hang up at all and guess who was the lucky owner of one of these "lucky" few. Got the device replaced but was thouroughly dissappointed when the replacement starting kicking me off the web and not every once in a while but everytime! Took it back to the "Fruit" stand for help and the answer I got was that this was a known issue for some devices. Starting to notice a trend?! I was told to turn off the Data option a couple times throughout the day to fix the issue which I didn't really understand but I complied anyway. Finally hit my breaking point when the dropped calls starting happening. Not one or two but every other and everywhere. AT&T worked ok on my Curve but service on the IPhone was horrific. Who knows; maybe I just got served 2 lemons but decided to ditch the IPhone and the network for Verizon. My time is important to me...Design 8/10Features 8/10Performance 1/10

Terrible device! Better step it up apple!
I have to say that this device was a complete waste of time, there is nothing great about the iphone. First off, I'm a blackberry user, so i figured i'd test the iphone against it, and i must say, a BIG disappointment...The iphone freezes when you try to multitask too quickly, not to mention the battery doesnt even last an entire day and i do my personal and business tasks on it, i dont have have time to recharge the phone 2x a day. The apps are cool, ill give them that, but i absoluetly dont need an app for everything!!! but i have to give apple props for the touch screen, which is amazingly accurate, but when you have to type emails, txts, and search the internet, i like the tactile feel of actual keys because lets be honest, some of us have a knack to txt while driving, and ive had my bb for so long, i dont have to look at the keys anymore, but before you make your decision to buy this device, find a friend who has it, and literally spend a few hours with it doing everything you would normally do, trust me it'll save you time AND moneyDesign 6/10Features 6/10Performance 4/10

disappointed. replaced it with samung impression!
I used to have an I Phone and I was disoppointed. I didnt do my homework before buying and was sad when i found out no MMS or no bluetooth suppport. The samsung impression is way better. Texting will be much easier on the impression and a lot of these ppl on here who said texting is harder with i phone i agree it is. You can use the full keyboard to text on the impression or you can use the touch screen keyboard your choice. Thats another thing I like i about it. You can do MMS, and bluetooth just perfect on the impression. I would go strongly with the samsung Impression its the best one and the screen and display is awesome too.

In Response to T-mobile person.
You have a T-mobile service on your iphone, doesn't mean that you will still get great quality like that of AT&T customers. It doesn't work like that. You are still using T-mobile towers and service, with just a phone.. The iphone, is just a phone made by Apple, and provided through At&t, and has nothing to do with fewer dropped calls, or better reception. You are never ever going to get good service unless you actually have AT&T, because you will then be working off At&t service. For example, you can by a blackberry curve from several different providers, and have them unlocked, and use them with a different provider. But doesn't mean using them through a different provider, will help, you are still using your same old provider. But anyways, I have an Iphone, and will never go to any other phone. I am actually on my second Iphone, because I broke my screen on the first one. Other than that, It's like having a computer in the palm of your hand.Design 10/10Features 10/10Performance 10/10

Using Iphone 3g w/ T-Mobile
Okay, so I've been using my Iphone 3g on T-mobile for about the past 6 months now. I have been a loyal T-mobile customer for close to 8 years and have been through atleast 8-10 phones with them in that time period. After hearing about how many AT&T customers were unhappy with the call reception w/ their Iphone, I thought, great, I can have the best of both worlds with my T-mobile svc. hooked up to my Iphone- Well, over the past 8 years, I had NO problems with dropped calls w/ T-mobile until I got the Iphone, which leads me to believe that the actual radios Apple uses in the phone to draw signals is weaker than the majority of other phones on the market. I drop many more calls with the Iphone which is a shame, because the actual device itself it great, and fun to use, for me anyways. I just wish it pulled stonger signals more consistently. So do I like the device itself enough to keep it until a newer Iphone comes out w/ hopefully a stronger radio? Yes, but I am definitely keeping my eye on the Palm Pre to see how that's going to compete. Hope this was helpful.Design 9/10Features 10/10Performance 7/10

I love the Iphone the screen it amazing. I really enjoy the games and the texting the way it comes up lik msn is really cool. I has been quite tough i have droped it a few time and been a trampoline with it and it still works fine. The one down fall is you have to apple soft ware which can be slow and you cant just plug it in copy and paste and go you have to wait.But the Iphone 3G is a great phone and is slated for minor things. The battery life is good just charge it write over charging dose destroy the life of all batterys. There is to be a new iphone only it will be 32Gb so look forward to that.The iphone dose come in t mobile but its german so.

Iphone... my nightmare.
I purchased an iphone at the rogers store in the mall that i am closest to. Everything was set, i had signed lal the papers, and then i was the owner of a iphone. You would think 'cool' right? well it wasnt. When I got home and turned the phone on i was amazed, the screen, the texting, but then i actually tried to call someone. It's called a iPHONE right, well i tried to call someone and my phone would not hang up. there was a glitch in it that would not let me hang up and when i put the phone to my ear the screen wouldnt turn off (you know how it does this so that way your face doesnt hit the buttons), so i ened up hanging up on people when i didnt want to. When I brought it back to the Rogers store to get a new one, they said that they would not give me a phone. I was really mad, because apparently there is a thing in the contract (which they NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT) that says that if you use the phone for over 30 hours, you cannot get a refund. And since i could not hang up my phone, some of my calls went on for about 20 minutes! I started calling people and at one point it was just a big word battle. I ended up getting a new one, sheesh, my parents have been costomers with rogers for 10 years!! the phone is ok, but trying to type on that thing is a nightmare, and even the new one freezes on me.Design 8/10Features 7/10Performance 3/10
- nice screen

- thats pretty much it
- It looks nice
- The apps are ok... (som are pretty much pointless unless you are willin to pay big bucks for the ones that arent free)
- Is a bit too big...cant stick it in a pant pocket (but i guess you need a big screen to touch and move stuff around)
- has good battery charge... if you have absolutly no apps and you dont call anyone :P
- texting is TERRIBLE
- calling is difficult... soo many buttons, and you end up hitting one of them
- figuring out how to work the darn thing is a nightmare!!

Great phone
I love this phone. It has everything that you would need in a basic smartphone.
Set up was easy and fast. I had an AT&T 8525 before this and it took a little to get it to synch properly.
There are some things that are missing, but I can see the reasoning now as more and more of my coworkers and friends upgrade to better phones.
MMS - older, dying technology that is being phased out slowly. Email is the way to go with this.
Camera - 2MP is just not good enough anymore and zoom is also missed. Also I'd like to be able to shoot video.
I've since jailbroke my phone and now can do video recording so that is covered.Design 10/10Features 8/10Performance 9/10
- Easy setup
- Integration with my mac - iCal/Address book/iTunes music
- Visual Voicemail
- Camera and video

Dont really like the phone at all. I think it was a huge waste of money plus At&t service is garbage. The phones size might be the best thing. The battery is always dying and when it freezes i have to deal with it because i cant take out the battery. The texting is hard and how can this phone do everything except MMS?? They should have cut back on all the apps and put MMS on this. I think if the phone was on verizon it would be 10x better!! Good try Apple just stick to Computers :)Design 10/10Features 6/10Performance 3/10
- The size of the screen

- AT&T(the worst of them all!!!)
- No Battery that i can take out

iPhone 3G
Bought my iPhone 3G about 5 months ago.
Last month, i sent it back to apple because the screen failed. They wouldn't fix it because apparently, it has a dent on it. After recieving it back from America (i'm in Australia), i found a 2mm sized dent on the back plastic which wasn't there when i sent it away.
Forgetting for the fact what can happen in the mail, please explain to me how in the hell a 2mm sized dent can possibly damage the screen? the dent would have been bigger if it had been dropped.
Now, aside from the fact that Apples warranty is complete rubbish, the iPhone itself is EXTREMELY useless.
After a few months, you will realise the iPhone IS NOT A PHONE. It is a mobile palm pocket with a useless phone function slapped on for good measure.
The texting is crap, the menus are crap and the reception is CRAP.
If you want a palm pocket that you can use for BASIC phone and text functions, buy an iPhone.
Because - in all seriousness - the Motorola V3X I'm using at the moment (1/6th the price of iphone, years old) is a better PHONE than the $1200 iPhone 3G.Design 7/10Features 9/10Performance 4/10
- - Great at being an ipod, video player and overall palm pocket
- - Absolutely useless as a phone
- - WAY too overpriced
- - Bad warranty

Great phone!
I was on the fence about getting an iPhone 3G. My main concerns were the virtual keyboard and battery life. I've been using my phone for a while now, and I love it! Not only does this phone do everything you could possibly want it to do, but it has no limits! The App Store is one of the best features. Tons of games and apps for free, and tons more that you can pay for. The software sets the standard for mobile UI. Simple and easy to navigate with. Safari is by far the best browser on a phone, period. It renders pages perfectly, and has smooth scrolling, and the multi-touch makes the zoom feature great! Call quality is excellent, along with reception. AT&T has the fastest 3G network, and it shows. I have not had a problem loading pages on 3G. It's more than twice as fast as EDGE.Design 10/10Features 10/10Performance 10/10
- Beautiful design
- UI is the standard
- Tons of features
- Decent battery life
- Great call quality
- Great sound quality
- Fast browser
- GPS is good
- No MMS
- No video recording
- No Flash in Safari (but all three of these can be added in later Software updates)

Symptoms: Diarrhea Nausea
Report Type: Food Poisoning
My mom and I both had a steak and extra provolone foot long on herb & cheese bread. I got the garlic bread with no veggies while she refrained from the garlic and settled on veggies. Everything tasted great, but soon after eating we already started feeling nauseous. We both had diarrhea, felt immensely dehydrated, drank something, had more diarrhea, dizziness (moreso for her), and general nausea (where I keep throwing up in my mouth). Read More

Symptoms: Diarrhea Fever Nausea Vomiting
Report Type: Food Poisoning
My husband had an Italian sandwich with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, black olives, jalapenos, and ghost peppers. 12 hours later when he woke up for work he began violently vomiting. He missed work, vomiting multiple times within the first few hours. His fever reached 102.6, and diarrhea began for the next few hours. At first we thought he may have picked up the Norovirus. However, knowing Norovirus is highly contagious, we were expecting myself to get sick. I have not gotten sick. That leads us to believe it was food poisoning from his Subway sandwich. Read More

Symptoms: Diarrhea Nausea Vomiting
Report Type: Food Poisoning
I had lunch with two friends at the Subway in Powell, OH on Thursday, January 17th. I ordered the 6" Chicken Bacon Ranch Melt sub on wheat bread and added lettuce, pepper jack cheese, green peppers and banana peppers along with the ranch sauce. My one friend also had a chicken sub, but a different one. I think she also added lettuce, pepper jack cheese and banana peppers, among a few other toppings. Her husband ordered an Italian sub and did not get sick. On Friday evening around 8:00 PM, I started to feel queasy. Then around 11PM, about 35 hours after eating my sub, the vomiting and had diarrhea started and lasted throughout the night. I was able to keep liquids down this morning but am very tired, still with cramping and diarrhea. I learned this morning that my friend was also up last night starting about 2:00 AM with similar symptoms. The timing and fact that we both ate similar items at Subway make it the likely culprit.

Thanks to ten inches of new snow last night, Sugarloaf opened the new Brackett Basin area to skiers and riders today for the first time. Brackett Basin is the first of a three-phase terrain expansion onto neighboring Burnt Mountain that will make Sugarloaf the largest ski area in the East.
Sugarloaf ski patrollers dropped the ropes on the four upper glades of Brackett Basin today: Birler, Sweeper, Edger, and Cant Dog. Together these glades encompass 60 acres of glade skiing.
"When we announced the Sugarloaf 2020 plan over the summer, we said that the end goal was a rejuvenated, revitalized Sugarloaf," said John Diller, Sugarloaf General Manager. "The opening of Brackett Basin today marks a significant step toward achieving that goal."
The lower Brackett Basin glades (Rough Cut, Red Horse, Blacksmith, High Ball, and Logging Road) remained closed today due to ongoing commercial logging. These remaining glades, which cover a full 210 acres, are expected to open in the coming weeks.
BrackettBasin is the first phase of a massive 655-acre terrain expansion onto Burnt Mountain, which was announced this summer as part of the "Sugarloaf 2020" ten-year road map. The expansion doubles Sugarloaf's in-bounds terrain, making it the largest ski area in the East.
The new terrain is all gladed, "sidecountry" terrain, offering skiers and riders a one-of-a-kind backcountry style experience, with the security of patrolled, inbounds terrain. A glade refers to any wooded area where trees have been thinned, rather than cleared like a traditional trail. The expansion will be completed in three phases, the first of which is the 270-acre Brackett Basin. The second phase will encompass 135 acres, including the summit of Burnt Mountain, and will open a second above-treeline area to accompany Sugarloaf's legendary SnowfieldsTM. The third and final phase will be 250 acres, and will open the north face of Burnt Mountain. When the expansion is complete, skiers will enjoy a vast, 655-acre glade and an experience unlike anything else in the East.
Access to the new terrain on Burnt Mountain is via a cross-cut from the top of the existing King Pine Quad. Brackett Basin terrain is for expert skiers and riders only, and anyone who explores the new terrain should be familiar with Sugarloaf's trail map. Skiers and riders should not enter Brackett Basin alone. Anyone who is unfamiliar with Sugarloaf's terrain is encourage to check in with Ski Patrol before exploring Brackett Basin.

The popular Windows Phone app WeChat has been updated to version 4.5.2. So what's been added since we last looked at the app back in July? Quite a fair bit actually. You can chat with friends in a walkie talkie session, search through chat history and more. There's no groundbreaking functionality that will blow your mind away, but there's enough included to keep the experience feeling fresh and updated.
Joining the walkie talkie and history search, WeChat also now sports the ability to locate nearby friends with the new "Hold Together" feature, which also enables you to add new folks easily. Finally, double tapping a message will view said content in full screen for that added immersion. As noted above, we've covered WeChat in the past and strongly recommend you all check the Windows Phone version out.
Should you wish to add yet another messaging app to your collection, you can download WeChat from the Windows Phone Store for free (available for both Windows Phone 7 and 8). Thanks, afgzee, for the tip!

'Fiscal cliff' impact ?not an abstraction?– it's aimed at you; Start of new year heralds instant tax pain
WASHINGTON – If you think this debate about the "fiscal cliff" is some abstract policy fight that won't affect you, or if you think you won't notice any pain from it until you do your 2013 tax returns in early 2014, you need to think again.
In fact, if Congress and the president don't agree on a budget deal by the end of the year, you will almost certainly start to feel the pinch in your paycheck come January.
Depending on your income level and family status, the amount the Internal Revenue Service takes out of your paycheck will rise, on an annual basis, anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand. Blame it largely on the end of a payroll tax holiday enacted two years ago.
Beyond that, a sudden hike in the Alternative Minimum Tax could wipe out the refunds of many middle-income residents in the Buffalo area when they pay their 2012 taxes next April, a full year before the repeal of the Bush-era tax cuts would take full effect.
Add it all up, and the overall tax increase for the typical New York State family in 2013 would be a whopping $4,103, according to the Tax Foundation, a Washington think tank.
The increase for most Buffalo families would be less than that, given that the median household income in the region trails the statewide average.
Still, many money experts fear what will happen if a stalemate between Democrats and Republicans results in a national tumble off the fiscal cliff.
"This is a manufactured crisis, and the expectation is that either something gets done prior to Dec. 31 or we will go over the cliff and everybody's taxes will go up," said Anthony J. Ogorek, a financial planner in Amherst.
Budget hawks in Washington are worried, too, despite some signs among Republicans of a movement toward the key Democratic demand of higher taxes on the wealthy.
"I believe the probability is that we're going over the cliff," Erskine B. Bowles, a Democratic deficit hawk who co-chaired a commission that proposed a wide-ranging budget reform plan two years ago, told reporters Wednesday. "And I think that would be horrible. I think it would be devastating to the economy."
In particular, it would be devastating to taxpayers – and not just because tax cuts enacted under President George W. Bush are set to expire.
In fact, there's much else that would hit taxpayers a lot sooner – and potentially harder.
First and foremost, payroll taxes – which go to fund Social Security and Medicare – would automatically rise to 6.2 percent, from 4.2 percent.
That increase would be the main reason why, come the new year, the IRS would start withholding more for taxes from virtually everyone's paycheck.
"It would reduce disposable income and dampen consumption," said George M. Palumbo, a Canisius College economics professor. "That's an immediate pinch."
In other words, starting in January everyone would have less to spend – and that, of course, could hurt everyone from retailers to bars and restaurants to automakers that have plants in Hamburg and the Town of Tonawanda.
How much less you would have to spend depends on how much you make and whether you have a family.
For a single person earning $25,000 a year, the monthly hit would be about $78, according to www.paycheckcity.com, which helps businesses figure out their tax withholding. For a family of four with an income of $75,000, monthly take-home pay would shrink by $197.50.
"It will have a very negative impact on a lot of our clients," said Paul C. Atkinson, president and CEO of the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Buffalo. "These are people who are doing the right thing and putting together a budget and trying to put themselves in a better place financially, but they don't have a lot of wiggle room. And, all of a sudden, they are going to be back to square one again."
And as if shrinking paychecks were not bad enough, the fiscal cliff could deliver another gigantic hit to many middle-income families when they sit down to do their 2012 taxes.
That's because Congress never "patched" the Alternative Minimum Tax to make it comport with modern-day finances for the 2012 tax year.
As a result, many families will see their 2012 tax bills rise by an average of $3,700, the Tax Policy Center said.
Given that the average refund last year was $2,913, the AMT hike could mean that millions of taxpayers who are expecting a refund will end up owing the IRS money instead.
"That could affect a lot of local taxpayers," said Richard K. Schroeder, a financial planner in Amherst.
The Congress that created the AMT didn't index it to inflation, so unless Congress now enacts an annual "patch," plenty of people who would have been higher-income in 1969 but who are middle-income today get thrown into an alternative tax universe where many deductions don't count and people have to pay a flat tax rate of either 26 or 28 percent.
For 2011, single filers making more than $48,450 and married taxpayers who made more than $74,450 had to subject themselves to the AMT test to see which amount they owed. But if Congress does nothing, those thresholds will plummet to $33,750 for single filers and $45,000 for families in the 2012 filing season. At these levels, about 33 million taxpayers would pay the AMT for tax year 2012 – up from a mere 5 million if a patch were enacted, Steven T. Miller, acting IRS commissioner, said in a letter to Congress.
That being the case, many tax experts expect Congress to at least pass an AMT patch, even if it can't deal completely with the fiscal cliff before Dec. 31.
"The consequences of doing nothing are so unbelievably dramatic that I can't imagine them not doing something," said Nick Kasprak, an analyst with the Tax Foundation.
Then again, the consequences of letting the Bush tax breaks expire are pretty dramatic, too. Starting in the 2013 tax year, tax rates would increase not just for the rich, but for almost everybody. The poorest taxpayers, those in the 10 percent tax bracket, would have to pay 15 percent. Most middle-income tax rates would rise. In fact, the only people who could expect little change would be those in the 15 percent tax bracket.
What's more, maximum capital gains rates would rise from 15 percent to 23.8 percent. The maximum tax on dividends would rise from 15 percent to 43.4 percent. The child tax credit would shrink by half, to $500. And the estate tax exemption would plummet to $1 million, down from $5.12 million today, while rates would rise from 35 percent to 55 percent.
As tax hikes loom, Schroeder advises clients to cash in stocks now if they're holding them for sentimental reasons, adding that some clients are rushing to settle estates before Dec. 31. "If they have an opportunity to max out on something this year, they really should," he said.
Until recently, those in Washington seemed to be maxing out only on rhetoric. But Wednesday, they offered some hope that Congress would steer clear of the fiscal cliff.
For one thing, an influential House Republican, Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, said Republicans should agree with President Obama's insistence that tax rates rise for families making more than $250,000.
"If we don't believe taxes should go up on anybody, why can't we accept a deal that takes 98 percent out and still leaves us free to fight on the other grounds," Cole told the Associated Press. "I'm not for using the American people for leverage or as a hostage."
Meanwhile, Obama said he was confident that he and Republicans could strike a deal.
"I am ready and able and willing and excited to go ahead and get this issue resolved in bipartisan fashion," Obama said, "so that American families, American businesses have some certainty going into next year."
How pay would be affected
For single filers:?(Listing annual income, then change in annual income due to greater withholding):?
$25,000 –$935
$50,000 –$1,810
$75,000 –$3,060
$100,000 –$4,310
$125,000 –$5,334
For families with two children
$50,000 –$1,870
$75,000 –$2,370
$100,000 –$3,272
$125,000 –$4,296
$150,000 –$5,046
Rise in withholding due to higher income tax and more payroll tax.

I recently went to a wedding of one of my boyfriends old friends. It was quite religious with an opening prayer, lots of references to what the bible says about marriage, songs that were religious, more prayers and all that nonsense.
My boyfriend, who is an atheist, mentioned that he would want that for his wedding because "it's tradition and there would be hell to pay from my family if there wasn't". I personally don't want all that garbage poisoning my wedding, and as for the family, it would be our wedding and not theirs. Why should we do things we don't want to placate them?
My question to you is, what would be right for an atheist? What is your opinion on how an atheist wedding should be? What is your opinion on having a religious wedding to satisfy family members?

I wouldn't want a traditional wedding ceremony, but I wouldn't want to just go to the courthouse either. I would like something small that my partner and myself have organised, with our families, and a lunch or dinner. Traditional weddings are long winded and predictable, making them quite boring in my opinion.
I had some of the same questions, here is the thread from a few weeks ago. I went to an amazing wedding once many years ago in New York City to a couple that cherished the beauty of the moment and had no religious affiliation. They didn't have much money at the time, but they were imaginative and were friends with artists that made the day particularly special. They combined the wedding with the reception and They Might Be Giants was the band.
I think that marriages are a place where the bride and groom should honor their values. This is the most public of events in a personal sense. If you arrange it to be embracing values that the bride and groom don't share, you are taking a little bit of honesty out of the proceedings. IMHO as they say. .
Combining the wedding with the reception might be the ticket for you as well. As I remember it, the wedding ended with the band beginning, which is not a traditional thing, but dispenses with much of the hassle associated with weddings and makes everyone happy.
Cheers to you and your mate.
I found a review of the wedding I described in the New York Times from 1995. "They cited chapter 114 of "Moby Dick," in which descriptions of weather at sea reminded the couple of marriage."
Here is the review. The wedding was epic.The groom eventually won two Tony awards for best book and score for the play Urinetown. The bride writes children's books.
Thanks Melvin
The Moby Dick chapter is interesting. I suppose what ever is important and meaningful to the couple should become what is part of the wedding. Not something that means nothing to the both of them.
I, myself, have not yet married, but would never get married in a church. My family is SUPER religious so I'm sure that it would really be upsetting to many of them lol, but I need to be happy first on the biggest day of my life. If I chose to have a wedding in a church it would simply make me so unhappy that I wouldn't even want to be at my own wedding. The family will have to accept my ways and who I am or just not come to the wedding at all if it bothers them that much.
With that being said, I say just do whatever makes YOU happy first :)
Thanks Louis, I completely agree.
Weddings bring out the worst and the best in people, a bit similar in that sense to funerals. The main problem with weddings is that most men seem to have concluded that the whole ceremony is not for them anyway and that it's one of those things that you'll have to do in the way that is traditional, because it is traditional and you're supposed to do it that way. (Circular reasoning?)
I've been to quite a few weddings, and I've been the best man at the wedding of a (religious) friend of mine that was one of the worst and most horrible weddings ever. One of the main reasons why the wedding was so terrible was because everybody got involved into organizing things, and nobody seemed to care about the couple getting married, the whole ceremony, traditions and so on were deemed (or so it seemed) more important than the couple itself.
This mean that my friend married in a way that he would not have chosen himself, it meant that on what was supposed to be a romantic day about the two of them turned into a party organized by his mother in law praising her traditions and religion.
Just to give you a few quotes from the mother in law, either said to her own daughter or to the groom.
"Women dream about weddings their entire life, so it's only logical that the ceremony is done her way and not yours."
"Well, of course it's your ceremony, it's just that your father and I would really appreciate if you could honor the family tradition of a church wedding."
"Well, I know that you absolutely despise family member X, but you do have to realize that it will be very difficult for family members Y and Z to come if X is not invited"
"Well, traditionally the seating should be done like this, but if you think that that's not good enough for you, go ahead!"
"I have a lot of experience with these things, but if you do not trust me with it, then I know my place and I won't come to the wedding."
"All this alcohol is not necessary, I'm sure your friends can have fun without so much alcohol and this gives a bad idea to your family, do you want them to think that I raised an alcoholic?"
To prevent that kind of crap, do it your way. Make no concessions that you are uncomfortable with, do not participate into emotional blackmail etc. It's YOUR party and you should do it your way, if you lean too much on others, they will make the party for you and they will make it more "their" party than yours which is probably not what you want.
The worst things are done with the best intentions, and that is especially true in families. Seriously, I think that about half of the weddings that I've been to have either been properly ruined by a religious matriarch, or at the very least a good effort was made to that effect. The emotional blackmail that I've seen especially towards the groom is just sickening. I've seen grooms cry on their "happiest day of their life" because they felt that they had to play a role (be someone else) on their own fucking wedding. If that is not sad, then I don't know what is.
Wow, that's shocking. If I was forced into doing something like that I would say, "You're no longer welcome at MY wedding, get out".
I think this is how my boyfriend feels, like he needs to satisfy his family to prevent something like this from happening. I for one won't allow my wedding to be compromised like that. For me that is something that is non-negotiable.
Well, kudos to you! It's better to not make compromises, so that at the end of the day you can look yourself in the mirror and be proud of yourself.
I never realized how much of a drag weddings can be for the groom. If I marry a man, I'll make sure we both get the ceremony we want.
If they know you are atheist, then it's definitely NO garbage.
If you are still HIDING, then I guess you may not really have a choice.
If both of you are atheist, then to me, I don't see any reason to include the religious nonsense in there at all. I totally agree with you not do anything unwanted to appease family. Screw that.
Last I looked, An Athiest lacks a belief in a god or diety ... That's it.
Therefore the question what would be right for an Atheist you'd have to ask every single Atheist.
I guess I'm saying personally for your situation honestly I have no idea "what would be right for an atheist" Simply becuase there is no doctrine it's not a religion and there are millions of Atheists with millions of different opinions on everything else lol.
Do what YOU want i guess, but as it's a marriage best to be including your partners wishes too lol , I wouldnt worry what his or your parents want your not marrying them ,
Unless your letting them pay for it I wouldn't be too concerned what they want.
Just glad I married another Atheist who is as passionate as me about openly declaring we are Atheists and that Theism is irrelevant to us.
I'm not sure why you'd need to justify why you left out the religious stuff if you just planned everything and omitted it, that could work?
Never have I been to a wedding where i've known before hand it's going to be Godly or not or cared .... Always it has been about a celebration of a couple and THEIR special declaration of a committment to one another .
Every Atheist is different with only 1 thing in common with another Atheist....lacks a belief in a god or diety. I am always very cautious not to declare anything "Atheists do, should do or shouldn't do" that's doctrine and dogma i 'll leave that to the Theists
Good luck sounds like a polar opposites situation , maybe run off and elope or find someone else if it's a deal breaker :)

Cupcakes and smiles
Happy hump day and I hope that your week is humming right along. Besides an entire day of pouring rain yesterday I keep checking things off my to-do list and what not so it's all good. :)
So yesterday in the mail I received my copy of the 3rd issue of Copicendium and I was lucky enough to have a couple of cards featured in it! Because Mad For Markers just celebrated it's second birthday there was a birthday theme running through out this issue and my card was made to go along with that. I combined a pair of the Birthday Fairwees to create this sugary sweet party scene and Josie and Jilly are working hard to get the finishing touches all together for the big celebration.
All of the papers and goodies were just scraps floating around on my desk, that ended up coming together for a bright and happy looking card. Now if only I get a bright and happy day out there today, LOL!
Ok, time for me to scoot and I'll see y'all in 24. :)
Supply list:
cardstock- Bazzill and Copic X-Press It
paper- Bella Blvd, October Afternoon and My Mind's Eye
stamps- Sweet November (Josie's Cupcake and Jilly's Candle), Papertrey Ink (sentiment)
ink- Memento tuxedo black, Colorbox creamy brown and Doodlebug cupcake
Prima flowers
Kaiser Craft pearls and gems

David Webster needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 15 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Anything I put here will be redundant to what is already published at http://16ParksideLane.net. This website is more of a memorial than anything else to pay honor to a man who has had a tremendous effect on my life over the last 37 years. In doing so I hope to introduce many others to Harry Chapin and to simply say thank you to him for taking me on the ride of a lifetime to 16 Parkside Lane.
Harry Chapin fans of yesterday, today and the future. friends of David Webster from yesterday, today and the future. storytellers, dreamers and travelers born under a wondering star.
This is a "By Invitation Only" only event sponsored by David Webster and YoDaddy.tv. Invited designers were sent requirements by personal message through their 99designs message box.

It was such a beautiful day today and we were sitting outside with the dogs. Jax was at the door and was looking pathetic and wanting to come out. So I went in and got out his harness and leash (we've never used it outside before). Oops, he's put on some weight since I got the harness. So I just attached the leash to his collar. I picked him up and took him out. I thought that might help him not become a door-darter if I carry him outside instead of letting him cross the threshold. Of course he only walked about 5 feet from the door right up next to the house and proceeded to eat grass. I let him do this for a few minutes then took him back inside. We will do it again another day. But if he starts wanting to run out the door when its open (even though he almost does anyway) then his trips outside will have to stop.
Next time I will bring the camera and get some pictures too.
