I'm a bit confused. Is Mt. Gundal really located in the middle of a city?Hi guys~
Please make a correction when you see something wrong in this writing.
Hwaseong City is located on the southwest coast of Gyeonggi Province in the Midwest region of Korea.
As of 2012, it is one of the most beautiful
and convenientcities in Korea. (A city cannot be convenient)
Agricultural, urban, industrial and mountain regions are equally distributed in the city (This means that, within the city there are farms, an industrial area, an urban area and a number of mountains. Mountains are very tall. Did you mean hills?) .
Furthermore, the city has a well-connected transportation system. It takes just about
1an hour to get to Seoul.
Its road networks connect various roads such as the Gyeongbu and Seohaean expressways.
The population of the city has been rapidly increasing because of its convenient transportation systems.
I like my city all the better because it has beautiful mountains, such as Mt. Se-Bong, Gundal, Chorok, Chelbo and Ssangbong. The landscape, seen from the mountains, is green and beautiful (This means that you are seeing the landscape while standing on a mountain, is that what you meant?).
Especially,Mt. Gundal, located in the central part of the city, is the highest in Hawseong. This mountain has always been renowned for its cleanness and lack of pollution. On a clear day, you can see many beautiful islands in the West Sea and even Inchen. (From Mt. Gundal, you can, on a clear day, see many beautiful islands in the West Sea and even Ichen.)
Also, there are many natural monuments including a cuckoo, which is the 324th natural monument of Korea, and a woodpecker. (How can a cuckoo and a woodpecker be monuments? Instead of "natural monuments" did you mean "national monuments?")
Recently, Hawseong city is promoting a number of development plans. So, I'm really worried about destruction of the ecosystem.
Thank you.

Worried about likely flooding from Hurricane Isaac, President Barack Obama on Tuesday warned residents of the Gulf Coast to listen to local authorities and follow their directions.
Worried about likely flooding from Hurricane Isaac, President Barack Obama on Tuesday warned residents of the Gulf Coast to listen to local authorities and follow their directions.
"Now is not the time to tempt fate. Now is not the time to dismiss official warnings. You need to take this seriously," Obama said.
Hours later, Obama declared an emergency exists in Mississippi and ordered federal aid to supplement state and local storm response efforts there.
The White House is aiming to balance leadership on the storm with the president's campaign plans. Obama made brief remarks about the storm just before departing on a two-day campaign trip to Iowa, Colorado and Virginia.
Obama aides said that while there were no current plans to change the president's travel itinerary, the White House was monitoring the storm and would adjust his schedule if necessary.
Republicans canceled the first day of their convention in Tampa when the storm appeared to be headed for landfall in Florida. But the party is resuming convention activities Tuesday.
Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters aboard Air Force One that while the president would address storm developments during his travels, the focus of his trip would be to make his case for re-election to young people.
"It's important for him to be out there less than 70 days before the election making the case for why he's a better choice for the American people," she said.
The tropical storm was upgraded by forecasters to hurricane status at midday and it now is categorized as a Category 1 Hurricane as it veers toward New Orleans. Obama said the storm could cause significant flooding and other damage.
The president declared a state of emergency in Louisiana late Monday, more than 24 hours before the storm was expected to hit the Gulf Coast. The declaration makes federal support available to save lives, protect public health and safety and preserve property in coastal areas.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican, said the declaration fell short of the help he was requesting. Jindal wants the federal government to pay for all emergency protective measures.
Asked about the criticism, White House press secretary Jay Carney said there would be time to explore whether additional disaster declarations are needed.
Obama has asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief efforts with state and local officials along the Gulf Coast. FEMA has placed incident-response teams at emergency operations centers in Gulf states and has moved two support teams near areas where the storm could hit. More teams also are ready to be deployed if necessary, the White House said.
FEMA has distribution centers in Atlanta and Dallas-Fort Worth area, and in coordination with the Defense Department, has pre-positioned supplies in Jacksonville, Fla. and Montgomery, Ala., closer to areas where the storm could hit.
Forecasters predict Isaac will intensify into a Category 2 hurricane with winds of about 100 mph by early Wednesday, with a projected path directly toward New Orleans. Isaac could become the first hurricane to hit the Gulf Coast since 2008.

Red Bull fastest... but does that matter?
Red Bull had looked set to dominate the Australian Grand Prix, but come race day the superior tyre management of Lotus prevailed and turned weekend expectations on their head, as Jonathan Noble analyses
If you thought the Australian Grand Prix was a bit of a rollercoaster in terms of the fluctuating fortunes for the frontrunners, it was nothing compared to the shifts in opinions and moods that swamped the Albert Park paddock throughout the opening weekend of the season.
Everyone who swiped their art-deco Formula 1 passes in through the paddock gates on Thursday was in agreement that the outcome of the first race was totally up in the air.

Alexander Ovechkin continues to do what he can to try to carry the Capitals into the playoffs and on Tuesday night in Buffalo he got some excellent help from defensemen Mike Green.
The Gr8 scored the first two Capitals goals, his 37th and 38th of the season, and then he assisted on the last two, including a great pass to Game Over Green for the winner in overtime.
It was a wild affair against a not so talented but gritty Buffalo squad and Washington prevailed, 5-4.
In my last blog, I made it clear that Ovechkin is still the most valuable player to his team in the NHL and this game once again made that case.
With the Capitals struggling mightily in their own end, it was on the offense to pull this game out. We all know that Alexander the Great is a pure goal scorer, but his passing skills are often overlooked and vastly underrated by those who aren't paying close attention. How many other NHLers could have made the pass to Martin Erat late in period two on the power play that set up Troy Brouwer for Washington's 4th goal? Not too many have the combination of power and finesse necessary to get that puck to sit on Erat's stick through a maze of players so quickly.
Then, on the game winner, the Gr8 slides a perfect pass to Green, much like he did for Casey Wellman on Saturday, giving Sabres goalie Curtis Enroth no chance to stop Green's shot and the Caps win.
The win moves Washington to 24-21-8 (56 points) and they are just a point out of a playoff spot after two straight victories. The Capitals have six games left before the Olympic break and the next three are against teams in front of them (Detroit twice and Columbus). The other three are the Islanders, Winnipeg, and New Jersey. A good streak before the league shutdown seems imperative given the tough schedule facing the Capitals in March.
However, if they want to do well in this upcoming stretch, they have to do certain things much better. Defensively, the Capitals were far too loose in their own zone. Bad coverage, turnovers, and penalties led to four goals by an offensively challenged Buffalo club. We are 53 games into the season and these same mistakes continue to occur. If Washington wants to make the playoffs then they need to eliminate or seriously reduce the frequency of these miscues. The hockey department and coaches have to find an answer to these issues quickly if they want to make the post season.
Another disturbing thing was the way Sabres Mike Weber took liberties with Marcus Johansson and Nicklas Backstrom. You simply can't count on the referees, and especially when it is two clowns like Paul Devorski and Don VanMassenhoven, to protect your players. Once Weber gave that cheap shot to MJ90 someone on the Caps should've let him know physically that if that happened again he was going to be seeing stars for weeks. Where was John Erskine, Tom Wilson, Jason Chimera, or Troy Brouwer to make Weber pay for his cheap shot on Johansson? If Backstrom gets hurt by the late game elbow from Weber then their playoff chances go to 0!
Look, I am all for self discipline, but there are places and times to send a message in a hockey game and it was disappointing and alarming that Weber wasn't made to pay for his hit on MJ90. By letting that go, they risked injury to other players. Unacceptable. Like or not, protecting your players is a part of the NHL game today.
Braden Holtby made some big stops in net in his second straight start. Yes, he gave up four tallies, but his defense left him out to dry too many times.
Overall, this was a sloppy effort but the Ovechkin and Green show carried the day.
Two points were pretty much a must in Buffalo and now Washington has back to back tilts with Columbus and Detroit on Thursday and Friday.
It's nice that the offense is back, thanks primarily to the Gr8 and the Caps increasing willingness to crash the net, but if they want to be more consistent, they have to do a better job of protecting their own net.
Notes: Shots on goal were 35-27 for the Caps, but Buffalo dominated the 3rd period, 13-5. The Sabres played the night before so it was disappointing that the Caps were able to be outplayed in the 3rd period when they should've been the fresher squad…the Caps went 2 for 3 on the power play while Buffalo was 1 for 2…Green's first goal, which came on a sweet wraparound, was the 100th of his NHL career…Martin Erat had two assists in one of his better games of the season…the Caps lost the face off battle, 36-28…shot attempts were 55-53, in favor of the Caps.

12 Offbeat Holidays You Can Celebrate in March (and a Contest!)
Here are some reasons to celebrate this month, plus the once-in-a-lifetime chance to create your own holiday.
March 1st: National Peanut Butter Lover's Day
Peanut butter image via Shutterstock
If you love peanut butter, today is the day to shout it from a mountaintop – and then polish off your PB-based sandwich of choice. Take some time to reflect on all the amazing qualities of peanut butter, from its delicious taste to its fantastic gum-removable capabilities. There's even a year-round website for lovers of the peanut-y spread.
March 2nd: National Old Stuff Day
Sorry hoarders, this holiday is not about celebrating how much old stuff you have. Instead, National Old Stuff Day is about taking a moment to recognize the same old stuff you do every day, and think about how you can break old routines. Seize the day, because tomorrow's just more of the same old, same old.
March 5th: Cinco de Marcho
One of our readers tipped up off to a newer holiday called Cinco de Marcho. March 5th marks the beginning of the 12 Days of Cinco de Marcho, in which observers undergo a training regiment to prepare their livers for St. Patrick's Day. For games and activities, check out the official site. For your inevitable 12-day hangover, aspirin or ibuprofen should help.
March 6th: Dentist Day
Have you thanked your dentist lately? Dentists may seem like arbiters of medieval tortures, but they also had a lot to do with that beautiful, toothy grin you have now. Make March 6th the day you make that dental appointment you've been putting off for two years, the day you start flossing, or just make sure to show off your dentist's handiwork more often.
March 7th: Alexander Graham Bell Day
On this day in 1876, inventor Alexander Graham Bell received a patent for his brand new invention called "the telephone." For every text message you receive or send today, say a little thank you to AGB.
March 8th: National Nametag Day
March 4-10 is actually "Celebrate Your Name Week," with different holidays for each day. But this one sounded like the most fun. The only rule is that you wear a "Hello my name is…" tag all day. Using your real name is optional.
March 9th: National Panic Day
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy enthusiasts may struggle with this holiday, but March 9th is to indulge all of your deepest fears and let loose on a rampage of unbridled hysteria. Observational practices may include, but are certainly not limited to, tearing out one's hair, standing in public spaces and shrieking like a banshee, sobbing uncontrollably, or finally breaking ground on that underground bunker you have always dreamed of building.
March 12th: National Alfred Hitchcock Day
Did you know Alfred Hitchcock never won an Oscar for Best Director? Today is the day to regale your friends and family with your encyclopedic knowledge of Hitchcock trivia, or learn some new facts. Might we suggest a movie marathon for the evenings activity? If you dare…
March 14th: National Pi Day
Don't let the sound of the name fool you, 3/14 is not a day celebrating the sweet, baked circuitous treat. It is the official day of the Greek letter symbolizing the ration of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Although both "pis" prominently feature the circle shape. Coincidence? We're listening…
March 18th: Goddess of Fertility Day
You don't have to wait for the vernal equinox to get a little ethereal. World cultures have provided us with a cornucopia of fertility goddesses to worship and honor on this day. The name of Siberian goddess Ajysyt literally means "birth giver," and she is believed to nurture the soul of newborn babies. This is not just a day for the ladies; some goddesses like the Irish deity Macha exclusively tend to male virility.
March 23rd: National Puppy Day
Puppppies!!! As if you need an excuse to observe some adorable young pups playing, today it is your nationally mandated duty. But if watching is not enough celebration for you, go to the official website to vote for America's Most Beautiful Puppy, consider donating to your local animal shelter, or just take the plunge and adopt one! It might be wise to first consult your partner, parent or roommate on that last option.
March 26th: National Make Up Your Own Holiday Day
It could be argued that every day on this list was once "national make up your own holiday day," but March 26th is on hold for all future creations. So whatever nugget of inspiration or homage you have kept to yourself all this time, today provides the perfect platform for you to tell the world.
The National-Make-Up-Your-Own-Holiday-Day Contest!
We're going to celebrate this one this year. Come up with your best idea for a March 26th holiday and we will celebrate it like crazy here on the site. Articles, quizzes, fake t-shirts, whatever it takes. You will be forever remembered in the history books for creating a holiday, plus you'll win three (3) mental_floss t-shirts. You have one week. Get excited.

Google isn't the only one working on self-driving cars. Toyota and Audi surprised everyone by saying they'll be showing off their self-driving concept cars at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas later this week, too.
Neither company has talked up the details yet, but reporters at IDG News Service tracked down this video clip that previews Toyota's technology. Notice that the rotating cylinder on top looks a lot like the one on Google's concept car.

It was an honor for me to present my new album on the wonderful show of Carmen Nebel, especially because my dear friend Maximilian Schell performed with me on stage. It was a truly wonderful moment in my life.
Palm Beach Gardens, FL (PRWEB) November 16, 2012
Lovers of classical voice are delighting in a new talent, as German soprano Kriemhild Maria Siegel embarks on a campaign to share her music and performances with audiences in the United States. The great classics of Tchaikovsky, Smetana, and Mozart are refreshed in Siegel's impressive third album, Swan Lake: The Most Beautiful Songs of the World by Kriemhild Maria Siegel, released late 2011 by Jupiter Records in Europe, and now available digitally in the U.S.
The album – curated by Siegel herself and produced by her husband, Ralph Siegel – features 16 pieces that flow from classical works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Bedrich Smetana, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to more modern pieces by Steve Mandy and Ralph Siegel, finishing with Engelbert Humperdinck's "Abendsegen" from the opera Hansel and Gretel. The album's launch date included the singer's special performance on Europe's famed The Carmen Nebel Show, with a rare performance by Oscar-winning actor Maximilian Schell; Schell also appears in and narrates an artful video for the single "Swan Lake" featuring Siegel in the dramatic title role, which she recorded in both English and German.
In a recent interview, Siegel noted "It was an honor for me to present my new album on the wonderful show of Carmen Nebel, especially because my dear friend Maximilian Schell performed with me on stage. It was a truly wonderful moment in my life."
All songs on Swan Lake and her previous albums, Eternity and Mozart Premiere, were produced by Ralph Siegel, owner of Jupiter Records, and 2007 Echo Lifetime Achievement Award winner. He released the Grammy-winning disco-hit "Fly Robin Fly" by Silver Convention, which topped the U.S. charts in 1976 and went Gold; he is also the son of Ralph Maria Siegel, who was one of the most successful composers, publishers and lyricists in Germany.
In recent years, Ms. Siegel (nee: Kriemhild Jahn) established herself in Europe with both her strong clear voice and her innovative approach to classical music. Her lifelong immersion in studying and performing classical music informs her unique choices, as does her desire to reach both children and adults with her music. Siegel says she finds that children are intrigued by her dramatic classical music videos. As a child herself, she trained as both a swimmer and a musician, and was well-known through church events and concerts, forming her first music group at age 11, and her making her first radio broadcast at 14. The same year, she sang at a private audience for Pope John Paul II, who was said to have expressed delight at the voice of this young girl. At 25, Siegel was honored with the "Robert Stolz Award" as best young classical singer.
In years since, impassioned performances and intelligent artistic choices have fueled her success and critical acclaim. Throughout her career, Siegel has enjoyed the challenge of bringing her vibrant personal touch to both classical and well-known music, sometimes being compared with Sarah Brightman, Linda Eder, or the more ethereal Darlene Koldenhoven. Elegant, warm, and expressive are words often used to describe her performances, best witnessed in her multi-lingual music videos. In fact, eight of the 16 songs on Swan Lake are captured on video, from "Swan Lake" to the beloved song "Hijo de la Luna" by Jose Maria Cano Andres, and including the more recent "From Here to Eternity", written by her producer. Most surprising, however, are the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, which were cleverly adapted by Norbert Daum and given lyrics for the first time ever, and performed dramatically on video. As Siegel's clear soprano rings out with tales of love and yearning from Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Klaviersonate C-Dur and Symphony No. 17, one feels a keen familiarity with the songs, as If they've always been performed in this beautifully operatic way. However, she says, it is remarkable that these classical works have never before enjoyed lyrics; under Siegel's guidance, several composers and lyricists adapted the pieces for debut on her 2006 album Mozart Premiere. She later performed the works against the timeless backdrop of Venice, Italy in cooperation with the MDR-television ballet, which aired as a television feature in Europe and resulted in the DVD "A Night in Venice."
Siegel explains, "In Mozart Premiere, the most famous instrumental works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart were rearranged, for the first time ever, with texts in different languages and thus made singable. To me, and for many people, it sounds so natural, as though they were always meant to be this way."
Five of the singer's favorite pieces from Mozart Premiere grace the Swan Lake album; also included on Swan Lake is the poetic "From Here to Eternity" from her 2009 album Eternity, which she refers to as a crossover album for its more contemporary feeling. Rounding out Swan Lake are four original pieces written by numerous composers and lyricists, titled "Somewhere Beneath the Moonlight", "I Believe in You" "True Love" and "Reach Out for the Stars."
Siegel, who resides in Florida with her husband, says she looks forward to opportunities to bring her out-of-the-box approach to classical music to forward-thinking venues and media outlets throughout the United States.
The albums Swan Lake, Eternity and Mozart Premiere are now available in the USA via Amazon, iTunes, GooglePlay and other stores online. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/kriemhild.m.siegel

Please put a blank line between paragraphs.
Like this. Indenting the first line of the second and following paragraphs is an acceptable alternate. If you do neither, it's hard to read your text.
> cot to sleep.
- cot to sleep on.
Compare "book to read" and "things to do." "Cot to sleep" makes "sleep" sound like a transitive verb.
> that he works
- that he worked
Tense agreement.
> but he could just earn
- and could only earn enough money
> Boss
Optionally, "the boss." But it's okay to turn a common noun into a proper noun when you're telling a story, especially if you want it to sound like a folk tale.
> asked Tom if he could work an extra hour, he could increase his salary to double.
- asked Tom if he could work an extra hour and offered to pay him double wages.
The parallel is "Boss asked ... [Boss] could increase" - I changed it to use the same form both times. This improves readability.
> one of his friend
- one of his friends
> bday
- birthday
I'd spell it out, especially because the narrator is speaking.
> could not think to invite his friends
- could not imagine inviting his friends
"Think to do" : realize something needs to be done and do it
"imagine doing" : think about doing something
> he can double
> one of toms friend
Same as above.
I do not know why this is capitalized.
> to the work place
- there
> things he ever liked
- things he had wanted
> Infect
- In fact
I'm going to point out the remainder of the errors or rough spots without correction.
> so used to wake up
> he was sleep less
> into an emergency where doctor told him
> tom
> so he developed insomnia and so other diseases
> a a grand and beautiful cot
cot vs bed
> does not have the sleep in his eyes
I like this idiom, but it isn't standard.
> he had food but he could not eat food
> we cannot our body back now..
> he was so revealed
> confirms
> that he is out of all the diseases
- that he didn't have any of the diseases
> is ... are
> that he always wears one pant
- because he always wore the same pair of pants
"Pants" is always plural. You need "pair of pants" to count them. Weird, but that's the way it is.
> determined not to bother by his friend
- determined to not be bothered by his friends
The story is functional, but low-intensity.
- Give Tom somebody or something to care for, a family or a pet or goals. He doesn't just sacrifice his health along the way, but his obligations to others.
- Expand the description of physical places. This is fine as a flash story, but it could also be the outline for a novella.
- Either remove the "it was all a dream" part at the end, or show Tom's classmates taunting him. Putting that detail at the end puts it out of order.
I liked it, especially since I know how hard it is to tell a story even in my native language.

Resizing an NTFS partition
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Most sytems that are purchased already have Windows XP installed on it, and most people would prefer not wipe it off completely when doing an ArchLinux installation. Therefore, it is useful to resize the existing windows partition to make room for a Linux partition.
System Rescue CD is a good tool to have, and works seemlessly in most cases.
- Download the CD image (from http://www.sysresccd.org/)
- Burn the image to a CD
- Boot from the CD.
Once booted, run qt_parted and the rest should be fairly obvious.
If you already have ArchLinux installed on your system and simply want to resize an existing NTFS partition, you can use the parted and ntfsprogs packages to do it.

The Gold Standard Premiere Gold Parties
The Gold Standard is based in Long Island New York with 6 gold buying stores throughout the area. You can read more about us at http://www.nygoldcashers.com. We run lots of gold parties in New York, and are looking to expand nationally. We need a great website to get people throughout the country excited about hosting gold parties!
(Please note that our website at nygoldcashers.com is different from the website for this contest. The website for this contest will be a brand new website featuring gold parties nationally, while the nygoldcashers.com website is our local website featuring our stores on Long Island. The logo for the two will be the same.)
We want to target both genders but women are more likely to be customers.
I googled "gold party" and found the following sites - please take a look at them for a basic idea of other gold party websites in the industry.
So you have a general idea of the look/style we are looking for, of these four sites I think goldpartypro.com and thegoldpartycompany.com are pretty good, and don't particularly like goldpartymagic.com and party4gold.com
The pages on our site will be Homepage, Host A Party, Become An Affiliate, Charity Events, About Us, Contact Us.
Please make sure we have an easy way for people to contact us. Generally I like a sign up form on all pages of a site in the upper right to make it easy for the customer to sign up. The information we would need would be name/email/phone/address, and a question whether they are interested in Hosting a party or Becoming an affiliate.
You can find sample wording at http://www.nygoldcashers.com/gold_parties.html. This is the one page on our nygoldcashers.com local website that features the gold parties we have, so you can use the same wording for the national gold party site for this contest.
Thank you and I look forward to seeing some great sites!

Software boosts marines civilian operations at fleet exercise
New software that takes advantage of mobile devices to streamline civilian assistance operations has received encouraging feedback from Marines who tested it this month during one of the largest annual multinational military exercises.
Funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC), the Marine Corps Civil Information Management System (MARCIMS) helped Marines manage, track and analyze construction projects, health engagements and civil affairs in Thailand Feb. 11-21 during the 32nd Cobra Gold exercise, organized by U.S. Pacific Command in conjunction with the Royal Thai military and several other participating nations.
The development of MARCIMS aligns with the Marine Corps Science & Technology Strategic Plan, which calls for enhanced command-and-control systems for "better decision-making, collaboration and shared understanding" across the range of military operations.
"The Marine Corps has always been called on to do more than fight, and this technology brings to their fingertips the kind of information they need to manage resources and understand the sociocultural environment for a variety of civilian-military operations," said Martin Kruger, MARCIMS program officer from ONR's Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare and Combating Terrorism Department.
MARCIMS combines technologies developed by ONR to create a seamless system for collecting and analyzing information and tracking projects, such as the construction of a school or a community health engagement. The system combines the use of smartphones and tablets with a semantic "wiki" site that can be updated instantaneously as information is gathered in the field.
Personnel in the field during an exercise such as Cobra Gold normally would record information in individual notebooks and computer files, making it difficult to analyze data, keep track of projects and follow trends.
MARCIMS enables users to share, organize, visualize and analyze this data within the context of demographics and geography. The tool has given Marines, particularly the III Marine Expeditionary Force (III MEF), an unprecedented level of situational awareness as they work with representatives from several other countries during Cobra Gold.
Marines have used the system for everything from daily briefings to calling in more lumber for construction projects. In addition, it has provided a clearing house of civil information in the areas the III MEF has been dispersed throughout Thailand.
"I found the MARCIMS device and associated wiki page to be an excellent command-and-control tool," said Maj. Jared C. Voneida, deputy commander of the Combined Joint Civil Military Operations Task Force, a military unit responsible for carrying out civil-military operations and the primary user of MARCIMS at Cobra Gold. "A substantial amount of man-hours were saved daily by not having to spend time manually inputting raw data from the field into a database."
ONR and MCSC will continue to evaluate feedback from the exercise and further refine MARCIMS for future tests and acquisition.

2012 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG First Test
The Only Compromise Is Your Bank Account
Mercedes-Benz is no Johnny-come-lately to the performance SUV game with the M-Class. All three generations of the brand's midsize SUV have received the Affalterbach treatment, beginning with the ML55 AMG in 2000. Although its 342 hp seems tame by current standards, at the time, the ML55 was without peer. BMW countered with the X5 4.6is in 2002, but AMG has ample experience tweaking and tuning SUVs. The 2012 ML63 AMG, representing the third generation, is near the zenith of the tuning arm's SUV efforts.
Thanks to its 21-inch wheels, 295-width tires, quad exhaust tips, and dual intercooler openings, the ML63 is clearly not your standard midsize Mercedes SUV. These visual cues aren't the first thing you notice when the ML63 is on the road, however. Whether in sport or comfort mode, the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 makes its presence known. Many vehicles claim to have a "head-turning" exhaust note, but this one unequivocally earns the distinction. Anything more than one-third throttle produces sharp, metallic, staccato machine gun fire and at full throttle; this beast can easily be heard from a quarter mile away.
Despite the impressive volume level, the twin-turbo 5.5 doesn't have the same raw, organic sound as its naturally aspirated 6.2-liter predecessor. Whereas the 6.2 would spontaneously pop and crackle, the 5.5 has a digital, almost synthetic sound character, with throttle inputs producing consistent, predictable sonic signatures. Even the exhaust pop between shifts is predictably reliable in its cadence and tone, almost like a video game soundtrack.
The new V-8 may not have the same raucous sound quality as its forebear, but with 550 hp and 560 lb-ft on tap in our Performance Package-equipped model, power was never an issue. To fully appreciate the brute force this engine is capable of, it helps to have the vehicle in Sport mode. The Comfort setting moves the ML off the line in second gear unless you floor it from a stop.
First-gear starts in Sport get things moving in a hurry. In our testing, the ML63 laid down a properly quick 4.3-second 0-60-mph run and flew through the quarter mile in 12.8 seconds at 110.6 mph. Hawk-eyed readers may note the Benz trails archrival BMW X5 M's numbers by 0.2 second in the 0-60 sprint and its quarter-mile time by a scant 0.1 second, though it beat the Bimmer's trap speed by 0.5 mph. The ML also runs nearly neck and neck with its other Black Forest rival, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S.
The on-by-default stop-start function in Comfort mode seems an amusing affectation considering the ML63's ample power output and thirsty 14/18 mpg fuel economy figure, but whenever you combine 550 hp with 5243 pounds, something's got to give. We observed an unscientific average of 13.6 mpg during our evaluation period.
The interior of the ML63 is the biggest visual differences from non-AMG MLs. The steering wheel gets AMG's characteristic flat-bottom treatment and Alcantara grips along with satisfying-feeling cast aluminum paddle shifters. The aggressively bolstered yet comfortable, perforated-leather front bucket seats and high-gloss piano-black accents result in an austere but purposeful look, but it's not the burled bird's-eye look many expect in a luxury model. The one unequivocally upscale touch in the interior is the stitched leather dash top.
Mercedes' COMAND knob-controlled interface is not immediately intuitive, but starts to make sense once you've spent a few minutes acquainting yourself with it. The navigation system can be puzzling, though. It started to give guidance to a presumably previously entered destination as soon as I got into it. I had to pull off the road into a parking lot and spend five minutes to de-program the route and silence the guidance. Also, if you somehow get off the real-time visual map guidance, it's almost impossible to get back to it while driving.
Clearly, anyone seriously considering the ML63 does not regard a vehicle as simply a transportation appliance to reliably and efficiently go from point A to point B. There are dozens of comfortable, competent choices out there costing under $30,000 that will manage that task just fine. To get into this example of European muscle, be prepared to shell out more than triple that sum. As equipped, including the Performance Package, aforementioned Piano Black interior trim, and accessory 21-inch alloy wheels, the price tag on our tester came to a gulp-inducing $107,725, including destination. Is it worth it? Only you can answer that question. The last X5 M we tested came in about $16,000 less than that, while the Cayenne Turbo runs about $13,000 more. The heavier, less powerful Range Rover Sport Supercharged will likely also crest the six-figure mark when comparably equipped.
If you've had the chance to drive an AMG model, you know what a singular character these vehicles have. There's something incredibly ballsy, proudly politically incorrect, and self-indulgent about them. As if owning a Mercedes weren't enough of a statement, an AMG says you also have the loudest, fastest, most expensive Mercedes in your neighborhood. If the thought of a four-figure monthly car payment or, more likely, emptying your bank or brokerage account of six figures in one sitting for a midsize SUV doesn't faze you, the ML may be your ideal ride.

Feedback Guaranteed necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 80 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
EasyGPS and ExpertGPS
This is a request for TWO logos, one for EasyGPS, and one for ExpertGPS. I'm combining the request for both logos to ensure a consistent style between the two. Both EasyGPS and ExpertGPS are Windows programs for downloading data from a hand-held GPS receiver over a USB or serial cable to a computer.
EasyGPS is free and easy-to-use. EasyGPS users are active, outdoorsy people, who like hiking, geocaching, mountain-biking, etc.
ExpertGPS is a paid Windows program for people who work with maps and GPS receivers outdoors. ExpertGPS has Home users (serious hikers and outdoor fanatics) and Pro users - guys that work outdoors in jobs that involve mapping.
Concepts I like:
A hand-held GPS with cable connection
Data transfer over a cable to a PC
Outdoor recreation, especially hiking
Trail leading to mountains (http://www.easygps.com/images/logo.gif)
Windows software
The pictograms used by the US National Park Service for hiking trails and other outdoor symbols
EasyGPS-specific Concepts:
Free, Easy, Simple, Friendly
No maps in the EasyGPS logo, please.
ExpertGPS-specific Concepts:
A powerful tool for getting your outdoor mapping job done.
Topo maps or aerial photos are appropriate in this logo.
I don't want:
Automotive GPS, cars, street maps, or driving
Something that looks like a smart-phone app
Clip art
Turn-by-turn driving directions
The GPS satellite constellation
Happy swoosh people
Color Suggestions:
The Web sites will be redone to incorporate the colors of the new logo.
The logo needs to look good next to screenshots of the software created with Windows Vista, so keep those colors in mind.
Many GPS receivers are yellow and grey/black plastic with a non-slip rubber finish. Think construction equipment, radios, and other ruggedized stuff.
If you are going to include a stylized GPS receiver in your design, this shape is a good one to start with:
The simplest design is usually the best – strip it down to the essentials! A rounded rectangle with an antenna on the right, and include a screen and a button or two.
I'm looking for clean, modern, text, without a lot of effects applied.
Feel free to use color or bolding between Easy and GPS or Expert and GPS to create a logotype.
The font you use has to look good with these words:
EasyGPS, ExpertGPS, ExpertGPS Home, ExpertGPS Pro, TopoGrafix, GeoBuddy.
Specifically, these letters need to look good: E G y
Don't change the spelling or capitalization of EasyGPS or ExpertGPS. Don't add spaces or split into two parts unless there's a great reason to do so.
Do not use a font that costs more than $150 to license.
Other design considerations:
*Some* element of your design will be simplified and repurposed as a Windows program icon. I'll be looking at your design for something I can fit in a 32x32 and 16x16 rectangle!
Also, I'll be thinking about how the logo would look in a vertical image ad format as well as how it will look in a Web page header.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
For inspiration or if you aren't familiar with GPS receivers or GIS/CAD mapping software, here are some of the players:
How I will be judging your work:
Does the text part of the logo look good on its own?
Does the image part of the logo look good on its own?
Do all of the parts of the logo fit together well?
Do I instantly get an idea of what these two programs do?
EasyGPS: allow people to connect their GPS to a PC and transfer data.
ExpertGPS: allow people to work with maps and GPS and plan trips and jobs.
Do the two logos have a consistent style?
Is there anything in the design that doesn't need to be there? (Hopefully, no. The simplest logo is usually the winning design.)
I've dedicated the whole week to providing feedback on this contest. Please ask questions!

Not many people can say they've played at Chicago's United Center on the same night as Prince. Then again, not everyone can say they have connections to the late Godfather of Soul.
Ten young musicians from the James Brown Academy of Musik Pupils (JAMP) performs on the opening night of Prince's three-night Windy City stand as part of "Rebuild the Dream Village: Celebrating Community, Creativity and Collaboration," a partnership promoting music education.
As part of the program, the students from Augusta, Ga., will sing, drum and play bass and guitar under the direction of Keith Jenkins, the long-time guitarist for James Brown. They'll play everything from Prince's "Musicology" to Brown's "I Feel Good" and "Cold Sweat."
Neema Colon, 14, trained with an opera coach for four years and sings a striking version of "It's a Man's World" in both English and Italian.
"It's great," Colon says of the opportunity. "I play the bass as well."
Traveling with the group is Brown's daughter, Deanna Brown-Thomas, founder of JAMP and president of The Brown Family Children Foundation.
How does she feel about the partnership with Prince?
"I feel good!" she cries.
The JAMP Masters perform Monday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the United Center.

A street reopened in San Francisco's Financial District this morning after being closed beneath a window-washing rig that was hanging
unsafely from a high-rise but has since been secured, a fire official said.
The rig was reported hanging unsafely at 7:02 a.m. from the 41st floor of a building at 301 Clay St., according to the fire official.
As a precaution, police closed Battery Street between Sacramento and Clay streets and also shut down the 28th through 30th floors of the building, the fire official said.
The street reopened at 9:38 a.m., the fire official said.
San Francisco Municipal Railway buses on the 1-California and 41-Union routes were temporarily rerouted around the scene, Muni officials said.

Cab driver may have held Boston Marathon bombers' backpack
Man says he picked up Tsarnaev brothers day before deadly blasts
A local taxi cab driver who gave a ride to the Boston Marathon bombing suspects one day before the blasts may have held the suspects' backpack in his hands.
Jim Duggan says it's hard to sleep. He drives people around Boston every day and likes to strikes up conversations with the people in the back seat.
On the day before the marathon, Duggan picked up two young men at the Malden Train Station.
"They said, 'Can you take us to Cambridge?' I said, 'No problem.' I opened the trunk. They had two backpacks. I reached out to help them put them in the trunk, and they wanted to put it in themselves," Jim Duggan said.
Duggan is convinced that he drove Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev the night before the Marathon bombings. Duggan made small talk with the brothers, asking where they were from. They said Chechnya.
"I said, 'Hey, guys, I don't know if you've heard of the Boston Marathon because it's tomorrow. Like right over the bridge. If you've never seen it -- might be a good experience, right? Something for you to see.' And the littler brother said like, 'Oh, Boston Marathon?' And then the older brother got real aggressive," Duggan said.
Duggan said he dropped off the Tsarnaevs near their home. He starting driving off, forgetting their backpacks in his trunk. They banged on the car. Duggan stopped, popped the trunk and helped them with their backpacks, which he said were a lot heavier than he expected.
"The thought that I picked up what actually could have been that bag is terrifying," Duggan said.

But the surfer who turned up Oct.23 created quite a stir before ending his visit abruptly when a pack of adoring star-struck co-eds chased him from the school gym after an optional lunchtime pep rally.
"I got mobbed," said Jonny Weston, 23, star of a new surfing film, later as he relaxed in a chair on an outside deck at the W Hotel in downtown San Diego after a series of press interviews.
For the record, Weston's exit began soon after he answered a young lady's question with three words:"I'm totally single."
The nimble star beat a hasty retreat to a waiting SUV driven by members of the Fox 2000 Pictures promotions staff.
Was the young actor prepared for this?
"The assembly was a little more rowdy and the kids were kind of jacked up," Weston said, "but it's a surf-based community."
Weston, 23, is making his first major film appearance in "Chasing Mavericks," based on the true and inspirational story of late surfing legend Jay Moriarity.
Looking tan with rugged leading-man good looks, Weston showed the at-first skeptical group of teens he is no kook when it comes to exchanging surf lingo, and the Pointer surf team was quick to warm up to the non-local in their midst.
And Weston did almost all his own surfing in the film, noting filmmakers did not know about his surfing abilities when he was cast.
Hundreds of curious students showed up for the gathering, emceed by Pointer surf team co-captain Vicki Gonzalez.
Among the strongest messages in the uplifting movie is the deep real-life mentoring bond that formed when 15-year-old Moriarity approached his Santa Cruz neighbor, "Frosty" Hesson (co-star Gerard Butler), in an effort to surf the Mavericks surf spot.
Hesson put his young protégé through grueling physical workouts and writing assignments to prepare him for the potentially deadly challenges of conquering the massive 40-foot waves, beautifully captured on film.
"We all have problems and situations in our lives where we could use the help of a mentor," Weston told the teens. "I want to encourage each of you to reach out."
A highlight of the event was a drawing for a surfboard matching the one used by Moriarity on his real-life first ride on a Mavericks monster. Weston drew a ticket held by surf team member Jordyn Valence, who confided he traded his original ticket for the winner.
Weston autographed the board for the beaming winner.
"I was very flattered that so many kids were there," Weston said, "because I know it was optional and they didn't have to come. The campus was beautiful."
Before Weston reached the crowd, he received a crash course in the skills and reputation of PLHS surfers. His first stop was a "really special" interview videotaped by journalism students, where a collection of brilliantly colored trophies won by the surf team had been placed on a table next to Weston's chair.
The actor took note. "Wow. Longboard, first place," he read, while holding one.
Indeed, the Pointer campus was selected to host Weston's promotional visit because of its top-ranked team of 31 boy and girl surfers currently riding the crest of county rankings.
Head coach Lou Ghio has run the team since the mid-1990s and, with assistant Julie Klein and PLHS athletic director John Murphy, have set up a program that builds strength through the school's new weight room and yoga instruction.
There's no room for slackers because of study halls and tutoring.
Murphy points to several recent school valedictorians from the surf team, including Corten Singer (2012) and Josh Morse (2010, now a member of the nationally ranked San Diego State University surf team). And Gonzalez is a front-runner for the class of 2013 honor.
"I want to say that San Diego is one of the most beautiful towns and the people are some of the kindest, most real people I have ever been around," Weston said.
Later in the evening, Weston and about 120 Pointer students met again at a special free screening of the film in Mission Valley. Weston spoke to audience members and signed movie posters.
On 16-year-old Jay Moriarity's first attempt at Mavericks (depicted in the film), he experienced a near-fatal wipeout captured in a famous cover photo on Surfer magazine.
Moriarity died June 15, 2001, the day before his 23rd birthday, while free-diving in Maldives, the smallest Asian country.
An annual "The Jay at Mavericks Big Wave Invitational" is now part of the Big Wave World Tour. Held at Mavericks between Nov. 1 and Mar. 1, invited contestants are notified 48 hours before the event to take advantage of maximum conditions.
"Frosty" challenged Jay with what he called "The 4 Pillars of Life Challenge," consisting of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual areas. An interactive site (www.livelikejay.com) has been set up where people can test themselves. Tasks change weekly and there are prizes for those who conquer all four.

Chevrolet introduces the El Camino
On October 16, 1958, Chevrolet begins to sell a car-truck hybrid that it calls the El Camino. Inspired by the Ford Ranchero, which had already been on the market for two years, the El Camino was a combination sedan-pickup truck built on the Impala body, with the same "cat's eye" taillights and dramatic rear fins. It was, ads trilled, "the most beautiful thing that ever shouldered a load!" "It rides and handles like a convertible," Chevy said, "yet hauls and hustles like the workingest thing on wheels."
Ford's Ranchero was the first "car-truck" sold in the United States, but it was not a new idea. Since the 1930s, Australian farmers had been driving what they called "utes"—short for "coupé utility"—all around the outback. Legend has it that a farmer's wife from rural Victoria had written a letter to Ford Australia, asking the company to build a car that could carry her to church on Sundays and her husband's pigs to market on Mondays. In response, Ford engineer Lewis Brandt designed a low-slung sedan-based vehicle that was a ritzy passenger car in the front, with wind-up windows and comfortable seats and a rough-and-tumble pickup in back. The ute was a huge hit; eventually, virtually every company that sold cars Down Under made its own version.
In the United States, however, ute-type vehicles were slower to catch on. Though the Ranchero was a steady seller, the first incarnation of the El Camino was not and Chevy discontinued it after just two years. In 1964, the company introduced a new version, this one built on the brawnier Chevelle platform. In 1968, the more powerful SS engine made the El Camino into one of the iconic muscle cars of the late 1960s and 1970s.
In 1987, Chevrolet dropped the El Camino from its lineup for good. Today, the car is a cult classic. In 2008, Pontiac announced plans to introduce an El-Camino–inspired "sport truck" and even considered naming it the El Camino, before settling on the shorter G8 ST. In 2009, however, GM's financial difficulties forced the carmaker to postpone production of its new models; it also announced plans to eliminate the Pontiac brand altogether by 2010.

This show performed a real service for me. I work for a nice Jewish couple who write for a well-known daytime soap and plenty of successful young adult fiction. Unfortunately, having grown up in Montana, I am ignorant as to many Jewish traditions. I'm a recent college grad, and this could be my way into the writing biz, so I am trying to show an interest in their lives, like the ideal flunky ought to do.
They hosted a Bat Mitzvah the past weekend, and when I asked them about the young lady's haftorah, they were impressed! Any more show ideas that feature little known (to me) Jewish practices go a long way toward building my career. The only thing I can promise in return is that when I am justly successful and famous years from now, I will credit Andy, Ken and WFMU in kind.
All the best,

Subscribe To The Legend Of Hercules Updates
2014 was a great year for movies. It's when we got Richard Linklater's Oscar-headed Boyhood, such great indie fair as Only Lovers Left Alive and Whiplash, and powerful performances all around. But there were also a great deal of duds. The 2014 Razzie Nominations have been released, and with it comes a list of the worst movies from the past year. Can you guess which ones made the cut?
We're introduced to Henry Wheeler (Gattlin Griffith) through a lovely sequence narrated by Tobey Maguire that explains the young man's relationship with his mother, Adele (Kate Winslet). Henry's father, Gerald (Clark Gregg), left some time prior to the events of the film to start a new family.
This column focuses solely on the film's use of 3D. Considering seven categories, we evaluate the full scope of a 3D viewing experience as a sort of consumer's guide to movie-going.
In this clip alone, we see Herc twisting in mid-air while swinging his lightning whip, a team of archers fighting for their lives, a brutal display of strength as Hercules weaponizes the boulders chained to his wrists, a fireball hitting the ground, and someone talking about someone else's destiny.
Inside This Rotten Week, it's warm, cozy and just the right temperature for predicting Tomatometer scores. Small slate this week with only Hercules' legend getting a little treatment.
It is a new year in cinema, at least for everyone who isn't still coked up from Martin Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street. Unfortunately, January tends to be a dumping ground where studios release all of the films that weren't good enough to push for Oscar consideration or big enough to release during the summer tentpole season.
Part of me is pretty geared up for Harlin's insanely over-the-top The Legend of Hercules. We get to see quite a bit of the battle scenes in these four new clips, plus Kellan Lutz's titular character nearing a possibly forbidden makeout session with Hebe (Gaia Weiss). While I'm sure it wasn't against any laws for Lutz to wear a shirt during the production of this film, there must have been some kind of a contractual obligation warning against it.

When the Wii was launched, gamers got hurt. They whacked their TVs, their friends and themselves with the Wii Remote, which prompted Nintendo to make a protective jacket for the remotes. Likewise, Kinect players are getting hurt. Is Microsoft giving out protective body suits?
Well, no. Sadly, it doesn't not look like Microsoft will be giving up body protectors, foam hand protectors or all-purpose moron protectors. Microsoft, however, is giving out advice. And it's totally free.
"As consumers adapt to this new style of play, there have been a few reports of minor incidents during enthusiastic game play," the company tells Kotaku. "Microsoft would like to remind consumers to practice safe game play, as detailed in our instruction manuals and Kinect introduction video, especially emphasising the importance of playing in an area free of obstructions and within your physical capabilities."
In short, look where you are swinging your arms and don't over do it. There are no full-body Microsoft protectors to save you!

NFL, Marketers Eye San Francisco Bay Area, Miami For Historic Super Bowl L
By Barry Janoff
October 17, 2012: The news that Beyoncé would be the headline act during the Pepsi Halftime Show at Super Bowl XLVII was all but overshadowed by bigger news that the NFL has narrowed down its search for a city to host its historic Super Bowl L.
According to the NFL, the venue that will host the 50th Super Bowl, scheduled for February 2016, would be either Sun Life Stadium, home to the Miami Dolphins, or the new stadium being built in Santa Clara, Calif. for the San Francisco 49ers, which is scheduled to open in time for the 2014 season.
The NFL said the decision would likely be made at the owners meeting in May 2013. The Super Bowl Host Committees from the respective team cities were invited to submit Super Bowl L bids earlier this year, according to the NFL.
The game is scheduled to be broadcast Feb. 7, 2016 on CBS.
Based on the marketing strategies that supported Super Bowl XL in Detroit's Ford Field in 2006, when NFL partners began to activate some 18 months prior to the game, activation for Super Bowl L could begin as early as 2014.
The league also said it would select the host venue for Super Bowl LI, scheduled for February 2017, from between Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, and the site not selected to host Super Bowl L. Reliant Stadium was the site of Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004.
The last time San Francisco Bay Area hosted the NFL's big game was Super Bowl XIX in 1985 in Stanford Stadium.
"We are excited to bid for the first Super Bowl in the Bay Area since January of 1985," Jed York, CEO for the 49ers, said in a statement. "Nothing brings a region together like a Super Bowl. Now we have to work together to show the new stadium in Santa Clara will put on a great show."
Sun Life Stadium most recently hosted Super Bowl XLIV in 2010. Since opening in 1987, the venue has hosted five Super Bowls; prior to that, Miami's Orange Bowl also hosted five Super Bowls, including Super Bowl II (then known as the Second AFL-NFL World Championship Game) in 1968.
There was some discussion regarding playing Super Bowl L in Los Angeles, where Super Bowl I (then known as the First AFL-NFL World Championship Game) was held in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 1967. The city recently gave significant approval to moving ahead with the construction of Farmers Field in downtown Los Angeles, with the condition that a current NFL franchise agrees to relocate to the L.A., but the earliest that the venue could open would be for the 2016 NFL season.
"The challenge for us there is to find a solution that works for the community and works for the team," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said during a media conference at an owners' meeting in Chicago on Tuesday. "The stadium is a critical component. We have to get a new stadium that is going to work for the long term of the team, the fans and for the community. There are some positive developments out there."
Pepsi has already started the hype to halftime with a countdown board in New York's Times Square that features a photo of Beyoncé with the words "Feb 3 2013" written on her face. Beyoncé recently joined husband Jay-Z on stage for the final of his eight concerts that opened Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and there has been some speculation that Jay-Z might return the favor in New Orleans.
This past July, Pepsi signed a multi-year deal to become the title sponsor of the Super Bowl halftime show, beginning with Super Bowl XLVII in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 3. Pepsi, whose parent company PepsiCo is an official marketing partner of the NFL, takes over from Bridgestone, which had been title sponsor of the halftime show for the past five Super Bowls. Pepsi last hosted the halftime show at Super Bowl XLI.
Pepsi's deal also covers Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014 in MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, NJ), Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 in the University of Phoenix Stadium; and Super Bowl L in 2016.
The Bridgestone Super Bowl Halftime Show this past February attracted upward of 114 million viewers on NBC, according to the network.

With the November elections coming up fast, it is important to remember why it is so important that each citizen cast his/her vote in every election. Try to erase from your memory banks what party you may affiliate with or who you love and who you may hate. Put on the thought process of an "independent" and do your own research regarding what candidates have done, what they have said and what others say about them. Instead of letting someone else tell you what to do, do it yourself and find out for incumbent candidates what their voting record actually is and what they have said in the press, at townhalls, etc. and especially how a candidate may treat his/her constituents especially the ones who may have opposing points of view. For candidates without a voting record, the voter must rely on what the candidate says, what others say about him/her and then if elected, watch their records like hawks. Many people have forgotten that our founders purposely set up the elections so that "popularity" was not the reason someone was elected. It can happen, but the reason we do not have a simple majority wins vote is that even the founders could envision a few states controlling the entire United States. Each state has two senators who used to be selected by a state's legislature but are now elected by the people. The reason is to give each state the exact same "voice" in public policy decisions.In addition, many people have forgotten that a country "of, by and for the people," relies on those same people to be vigilant, to learn what our history and founding documents actually say instead of some comedian's version of them and to be "independent" in thought at all times when doing his/her own research on each and every candidate for each and every election. If you are one of many who think "your vote doesn't count," do your research to find out – it counts far more now than it would with a straight popular vote – so use it or lose it.

Republican Vicki Marble won the Senate District 23 race with a nearly 9,000-vote lead over Broomfield Democrat Lee Kemp.
Marble, a Fort Collins businesswoman, held a solid lead in Weld County from the time the first results were posted Tuesday, Nov. 6 — one Kemp, a Broomfield resident, couldn't overcome even with 1,000-vote edge in his hometown.
As of 9:48 p.m. Tuesday, Kemp was leading Marble in Broomfield with 14,446 votes to Marble's 13,296 with 29,739 ballots cast — nearly 70 percent of registered voters in Broomfield.
In Weld County Marble had a substantial lead — 21,886 votes to Kemp's 13,901 as of 9:52 p.m. with 108,209 ballots cast, representing 87 percent of the county's registered voters.
And in Larimer County Marble earned 4,901 votes to Kemp's 2,684, according to results as of 9:56 p.m.
Senate District 23 extends from Broomfield through western Weld County into southeast Larimer County. It includes Dacono, Frederick, Firestone, Mead and the Weld County portions of Erie and Longmont.
During her campaign, Marble pledged to repeal several business regulations instead of proposing new bills and said it was important to cut government spending.
"It's becoming apparent that the biggest export we have here is people looking for work," said Marble, who said the government has overstepped its bounds and has prevented businesses from doing their jobs and hiring more employees. "We will change that, and I know I will do a good job helping people get back to work."
Marble said she plans to target what Republicans call the "dirty dozen" tax bills, which were Democrat-backed bills that eliminated several industry tax exemptions, credits and breaks to raise more than $100 million to help balance the state budget in 2010.
"We need to get back to small government and the people calling the shots," she said.
Marble has served as a member of committees such as the Larimer County Rural Land Use Board and the 8th Judicial District Performance Commission.
Democratic candidate Kemp, 58, said the race was a different challenge than his past campaigns for the Regional Transportation Board, where he has served as a chairman. He spent much of his time campaigning in the northern parts of the district, where he saw the most challenge with typically conservative voters.
Kemp, a 16-year resident of Broomfield, campaigned on a platform of fiscal conservatism and job creation through projects to repair failing transportation infrastructure in the north-metro area. He also envisioned policies that grow small business and create public/private partnerships. Kemp has been on the RTD board for eight years. His current term ends in December.
Kemp said he expected Senate District 23 to be a challenge. The seat is being vacated by term-limited Broomfield Republican Shawn Mitchell."The (Senate seat) has normally been a Republican seat for years," he said. "Going in as a Democrat, I'm fighting a hard battle."
Kemp said he was disappointed by the results, but said his campaign had done good work.
"The people have made their choice," he said.
