Arrest warrants issued for Sharper in New Orleans, former teammates 'disgusted'
New Orleans police have issued an arrest warrant for former Saints player Darren Sharper, accused of raping two women there last year, according to NOLA.com.
The alleged rapes occurred on Sept. 23, 2013, and an acquaintance of Sharper's, 26-year-old Erik Nunez, is believed to have been involved and is also wanted on two counts of aggravated rape.

Sharper, 38, pleaded not guilty last week to separate charges in Los Angeles. He is charged with drugging four women and raping two of them in separate incidents. His bail has been set at $1 million. Also last week, it was revealed that Sharper is under investigation in Miami Beach for alleged sexual battery. He is also being investigated in Arizona and Nevada.
According to NOLA.com, the cases in Louisiana are still being investigated. A conviction of aggravated rape in Louisiana carries a mandatory life sentence without parole.
As the alarming allegations continue to surface, former teammates and coaches of Sharper are expressing utter shock.
Said one anonymous teammate to NOLA: "I'm shocked and disgusted by it. I'm going to wait until the whole thing plays out before I completely judge him.
"But this would be one hell of a conspiracy for that many allegations to pop up across (five) states in such a tight window of time. I just never heard of something like that. I'm just disgusted by it."
Another teammate said that Sharper was a known "womanizer" but no one suspected anything that would suggest he is an alleged serial rapist.
An ex-teammated added: "Sex addiction is one thing. (Accused of) being a f---ing serial rapist is whole different galaxy. I'm pretty torn up about it all. ..."You almost don't want to see how this thing ends up. I'm pretty sure I know how it's going to end up."

Audiences can take a step back to December 1942 when Hope College Theatre presents "The 1940's Radio Hour" by Walton Jones in the DeWitt Center main theatre from Thursday, Nov. 20, through Tuesday, Nov. 25, at a variety of times.
Audiences can take a step back to December 1942 when Hope College Theatre presents "The 1940's Radio Hour" by Walton Jones in the DeWitt Center main theatre from Thursday, Nov. 20, through Tuesday, Nov. 25, at a variety of times.
Show times are Thursday, Nov. 20, at 8 p.m.; Friday, Nov. 21, at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 22, at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 24 and 25, at 7 p.m.
The production features a colorful cast of characters working on The Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade. There's the announcer and producer always in search of his bromo; the Sinatra-wannabe lead singer who just can't keep it together; the bubble-headed waitress who speaks with a Gracie Allen vacancy---until she opens her mouth to sing that is, and many more.
"'The 1940's Radio Hour' takes us back to the days of radio variety shows and radio drama," said John K.V. Tammi, who is the production's director. "The remarkable thing is that it is both a stage show and a radio broadcast, very much like attending Garrison Keeler's 'Prairie Home Companion' in person. There will be music from the swing era, well-known love songs, comedy routines and radio drama with sound effects."
Some of the songs in the production include "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "Blues in the Night," "I'll Be Seeing You" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." Tammi and the rest of the cast have been working closely with members of the department of music at Hope on the production. "Working closely with the music department is something we always enjoy, but in this case we are putting that collaboration at center stage," Tammi said.
Conductor Brian Coyle and the jazz ensemble will be featured as Zoot Doubleman and his orchestra. Two other members of the music department faculty are in key positions: Linda Dykstra as vocal director, and Edye Hyde as vocal and style coach. Dance major Kari Burke of Saint Marys, Ohio, is serving as choreographer.
Tammi noted that he finds working with students on the production especially rewarding. "Perhaps I'm most happy that this play will give our students a chance to learn about the time when their grandparents were young and in love, jitterbugging to the big band sound and crooning the songs that are now standards of the American popular songbook," he said. The play takes place during the dark days of World War II but it is full of American optimism, a quality that is being referred to in the current political conversation."
Another draw for the audience will be Equity guest artist Chip Duford, who is a 1990 Hope graduate and Hope Summer Repertory Theatre favorite. Michelle Bombe, who is director of theatre at Hope, said that Duford "has just the right touch and great voice for this period and he is always a charmer--audiences always love him. Plus, this is a real homecoming for Chip. He was actually in this production as a student when it was last performed at Hope 20 years ago."
In addition to Tammi, faculty members working on the production team are Michelle Bombe, costume designer; Perry Landes, lighting and sound designer; and Richard Smith, scenic and property designer. Serving as technical director is staff member Paul Anderson.
Several other students are also serving on the production team: assistant costume designer, Lisa Borton of Hudson; rehearsal accompanist, Larry Figueroa of Holland; assistant sound designer, Jeri Frederickson of Wheaton, Ill.; dramaturg, Cassie Niespodziewanski of Clarendon Hills, Ill.; assistant stage manager, Brittni Nowicki of West Bloomfield; properties co-designer, Katie Terpstra of Zeeland; assistant stage manager, Amanda VanAssen of Grand Rapids; and stage manager, Laura Van Tassell of Spencer, Iowa.
Members of the cast include: Tom Bird of Baraboo, Wis., as Neal Tilden; Lauren Conley of White Lake as Connie Miller; Andrew Gras of Holland as Stanley; Jared Graybiel of Lebanon, Ind., as B.J. Gibson; Nick Hemeren of Skovde, Sweden, as Biff Baker; Ben Hertel of New Richmond as Lou Cohn; Scott L. Kosiba of Vicksburg as Johnny Cantone; Lucas Leavenworth of Naperville, Ill., as Pops Bailey; Evann Potts of Kalamazoo as Wally Fergusson; Kalyn Rivers of Flossmoor, Ill., as Geneva Lee Browne; Brittany Stock of St. Charles, Ill., as Ann Collier; and Candice Tindell of Grayslake, Ill., as Ginger Brooks.
Tickets for "The 1940's Radio Hour" are $7 for regular admission, $5 for Hope faculty and staff, and $4 for students and senior citizens, and are available in the ticket office inside the east entrance of the DeVos Fieldhouse, which is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In addition, the theatre lobby ticket office in the DeWitt Center will be open on performance days shortly before the curtain rises. The ticket office may be contacted at (616) 395-7890.
The DeVos Fieldhouse is located at 222 Fairbanks Ave. between Ninth and 11th streets. The DeWitt Center is located at 141 E. 12th St., facing Columbia Avenue at 12th Street.

First ingredient is a named meat product.
Uses meat by-products, low quality grains and other controversial filler.
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product. Unfortunately, brewers rice is the main grain in the food and is a low quality grain and by-product.
The food uses meat by-products. It is impossible to ascertain the quality of by-products and these are usually products that are of such low quality as to be rejected for use in the human food chain, or else are those parts that have so little value that they cannot be used elsewhere in either the human or pet food industries. We recommend avoiding any pet food using such ingredients. The AAFCO definition of chicken by-product meal is a meal consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice.
There are two corn products in the food (see explanation of splitting on main page) and it is likely that these make up a more substantial portion of the food than indicated on the ingredient list. Corn is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems. The AAFCO definition of corn gluten meal is the dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that which remains after all the nutritious bits have been removed.
Beet pulp is another controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food especially so high on the ingredient list. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
The inclusion of a second meat product (fish meal 11th on ingredient list). However the manufacturer does not claim to use ethoxyquin-free sources (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative added to fish meal, and is believed to be carcinogenic).

Silver Spring Drain Cleaning
Clogged Drains are one of the worst fears of Silver Spring homeowners because of the health or sanitary problems that they cause. Imagine taking a shower and the water that has cleaned your body is still at your feet and it is not going down that fast or not going down at all? Think about the germs and bacteria in the water that is clogged down your pipe making contact with the water that you just used, and is still in your shower or on your sink. This issue should be thought of further and quick action is needed. Contacting your local contractor or plumber in Silver Spring is the best means to help you with your complicated and unclean problem with Silver Spring Clogged Drains.
Who would not be scared or even disgusted with the thought of water not going down in your sink and instead goes back up to you? You then ask yourself if it is because of hair or is it because of something else. If your guess is right that it is just hair that clogs your drain, then it's reassuring! But what if it's something else? This is another reason why you need experts to deal with this so you can know exactly what is causing the drainage problem. Clogged sinks and clogged showers are detrimental to your, and your family's health.
There are chemical solutions in the market today that say they will help you in unclogging your drainage problem, but these solutions only help you if what is causing your clogging problem is what the solution is supposed to clean. What if it is already a sewer problem and more serious and complicated than what you imagined; but you continued just using chemical solutions? You may see results of lower clogging but you can't see what is already in your sink or bathroom. Experts who work on Clogged Drains specifically identify what your problem is and gives you exact solutions to take care of your problem! There is nothing wrong in spending for something that will help you from further problems and further expenses.

Serial terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India's financial capital, have left at least 100 dead and 280 wounded.
Teams of gunmen attacked two five-star hotels, a railway station, hospitals, and a restaurant famous for attracting tourists, the AP reports.
The gunmen specifically targeted Americans and Britons at the hotels and the restaurant, Leopold's. An unknown number of people were being held hostage as police raided the two hotels, the Taj and the Oberoi. At least six of the gunmen have been killed since the attacks began at about 9:30 local time on Wednesday.
A Muslim terrorist group called Deccan Mujahideen has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The government ordered schools and colleges closed on Thursday. But according to techgoss.com editor Dhananjay Varma, now in Delhi, the country's tech hubs are operating normally, and internal flights between Delhi and Mumbai were running as of 8am local time Thursday. International flights may not fly from Mumbai today, Varma said. Telephone lines are working normally and tourists are talking to the media from the hotels.
Varma said terrorists had not attacked outsourcing centres because the industry is multi-faith, and buildings are often better guarded than hotels and restaurants.
The head of Maharashtra's anti-terrorist squad is among 11 police officers who have been killed.
British citizens concerned about friends and relatives in Mumbai can call the Foreign Office on 020 7008 0000. Anyone in Mumbai and needing consular help should call (0091) 11 2419 2288.
The England Cricket team is touring India for a series of one-day internationals. The fifth was held yesterday in Cuttack, on the country's east coast. According to Independent, the tour may be cut short. ®

Endeavour lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 6:50 p.m. CST today, carrying three new residents and a 14-ton truss segment to the International Space Station. At the time of Endeavour's launch, the International Space Station was orbiting 240 statute miles over Southern Austria.
On board the International Space Station, the current residents - Expedition Five Commander Valery Korzun, NASA ISS Science Officer Peggy Whitson and Flight Engineer Sergei Treschev - were told of Endeavour's on-time liftoff by spacecraft communicator Stan Love in the space station control center.
"Thanks so much for the play-by-play Stan. That was great," Whitson said in response to the news that the Expedition Six crew - Commander Ken Bowersox and Flight Engineers Nikolai Budarin and Don Pettit - were en route.
Once on orbit, Commander Jim Wetherbee, Pilot Paul Lockhart and Mission Specialists Mike Lopez-Alegria and John Herrington, along with Bowersox, Budarin and Pettit will begin setting up equipment on board and preparing to open the shuttle's payload bay doors to begin orbital operations.
Endeavour is scheduled to dock to the station about 3:30 p.m. central time Monday, setting the stage for Tuesday's installation of the Port One (P1) truss to the International Space Station. As was the case during Atlantis' flight last month to deliver the Starboard One truss segment, three spacewalks will be conducted by Lopez-Alegria and Herrington to help activate the new truss' systems. P1 is the third truss segment to be launched this year. It is one of 11 truss segments that will form the structural backbone for the station and provide the cooling and support for new solar arrays to be delivered to the station next year.
Endeavour's crew will go to sleep just before 1 a.m. Sunday and will be awakened just before 9 a.m. to begin its first full day in orbit. The crew will begin check-outs of the Shuttle's robot arm, the spacesuits to be worn by Lopez-Alegria and Herrington during their spacewalks and the tools and mechanisms involved in Monday's rendezvous with the ISS.
The next STS-113 mission status report will be issued Sunday morning or earlier if events warrant.
NASA Johnson Space Center Shuttle Mission/Space Station Status Reports and other information are available automatically by sending an Internet electronic mail message to firstname.lastname@example.com. In the body of the message (not the subject line) users should type "subscribe hsfnews" (no quotes). This will add the e-mail address that sent the subscribe message to the news release distribution list. The system will reply with a con firmation via e-mail of each subscription. Once you have subscribed you will receive future news releases via e-mail.

Oliver Peck bought True Tattoo from long time friend Clay Decker January 1st this year, and in true Pecker fashion decided it was time for a party!!! [Video on expanded page] [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q10N_J8LQg&w=560&h=349] Oliver also Co-owner with Dean Williams of Elm Street Tattoo in Dallas has been guest spotting once a month since Clay opened the previous location a few doors down back in 2003, and now will split his time as ZZ Top would say, "From Dallas, to Hollywood." "The thought never crossed my mind to own True, but when Clay brought it up, and wanted to keep the True name and tradition going, everything just fell into place," remarks Oliver. True has been a part of Hollywood since Clay opened his first location in 1998 along side fellow tattooer "Small" Paul Stottler and later Jiro from Japan on Orange Ave. He then moved the shop to Cahuenga Blvd with Chris Garver in 2003 and finally to the present location at 1614 N. Cahuenga Blvd in 2005. True has been home to and hosted artists such Richard Stell, Small Paul Stottler, Kore Flatmo, Tim Hendricks, Nick Rodin, Scott Harrison, Tony Hundahl… just to name a few. The tradition has always been to give people the best tattoos by world class artists, and Oliver plans on keeping the tradition alive. If you are in Hollywood, make it a point to drop in and check out the latest at True Tattoo.

The United Kingdom's top cardinal, Keith O'Brien, is to step down, effective immediately, according to a statement published on the website of the Scottish Catholic news office.
Cardinal O'Brien, who is the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland and the U.K.'s most senior Roman Catholic, was due to take part in the election of the next pope next month to succeed Pope Benedict XVI, a process known as the "conclave.' He said in a statement that he will not attend.
He is resigning due to allegations surrounding unspecified inappropriate behavior toward priests in the 1980s. He contests the allegations.
"Approaching the age of seventy-five and at times in indifferent health, I tendered my resignation as Archbishop of Saint Andrews and Edinburgh to Pope Benedict XVI some months ago. I was happy to know that he accepted my resignation 'nunc pro tunc' -- (now -- but to take affect later) on 12 November 2012," said Cardinal O'Brien, in the statement.
"I thank Pope Benedict XVI for his kindness and courtesy to me on my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Scotland, I wish him a long and happy retirement."
In an interview with the BBC on Friday, Cardinal O'Brien said he found the prospect of choosing the next pope "almost frightening."
Pope Benedict XVI's resignation takes effect on Thursday. And Monday, Benedict issued a letter spelling out line-by-line changes in canon law that will allow cardinals to set an earlier date for electing his successor. The number of eligible electors -- cardinals under the age of 80 -- is now 115.
However, there is growing pressure from U.S. victims of clergy sexual abuse for Cardinal Roger Mahony, the retired Archbishop of Los Angeles, to withdraw from the conclave. More than 30,000 pages of priest personnel records released last month revealed that Mahony had been directly involved in covering up for priests who were known to have abused children and teens.
Mahony has been writing on his personal blog that he plans to attend the conclave and to vote. There's precedent for that. In 2005, Cardinal Bernard Law, who resigned from his post as Archbishop of Boston in 2002 at the height of the explosive abuse scandal, nonetheless voted in the election that chose Benedict.
The last time a cardinal resigned his post was in 1927, says church historian Matthew Bunson. French Cardinal Louis Billot stepped down because his support for a radical, conservative political movement was in direct conflict with then-Pope Pius XI who opposed it.

Eugene Ionesco
Ionesco, Eugène
Eugène Ionesco (özhĕn´ yŏnĕs´kō), 1912–94, French playwright, b. Romania. Settling in France in 1938, he contributed to Cahiers du Sud and began writing avant-garde plays. His works stress the absurdity both of bourgeois values and of the way of life that they dictate. They express the futility of human endeavor in a universe ruled by chance. His play La Cantatrice chauve (1950; tr. The Bald Soprano, 1965) was suggested by the idiotic phrases in an English language textbook; it has become an enormously popular classic of the theater of the absurd. Among Ionesco's other plays are La Leçon (1951), Les Chaises (1952), Victimes du devoir (1953), Le Nouveau locataire (1957), Tueur sans gages (1958), Rhinocéros (1959), Photo du colonel (1967), Le roi se meurt (1963), and Jeux de massacre (1970). He wrote about the theater in Notes and Counternotes (1962, tr. 1964); a memoir, Present Past, Past Present (1968, tr. 1971); and the novel The Hermit (1974). His plays are all available in English translation.

The Easter bunny has been at it for a long time but could use a little help switching things up.
The Easter bunny has been at it for a long time but could use a little help switching things up.
Some savvy parents and grandparents share their trick or two for keeping things fresh, fun and mayhem-free on the hunt.
So grab a basket and get after those eggs!
Contact reporter Jo Ann Kirby at (209) 546-8256 or email@example.com.
All ages: Luanna Rugani of Stockton said her extended family puts slips of paper redeemable for lotto tickets in some of the plastic eggs they hunt for on Roberts Island. All ages participate. "My 88-year-old mother takes this very seriously. You don't want to be in her way," Rugani said. "The older folks want the lotto tickets but the grandkids want the candy."
Golden eggs: Stash cash in golden eggs to raise the stakes in your Easter egg hunt. Bet no egg will go undiscovered when some have a $5, a $20 or even $100 bill.
Glow in the dark: "The Campiglis always get together for a later dinner, so instead of rushing to hunt eggs before it got dark, I found some glow-in-the-dark eggs at Target that came with a special flashlight," Pam Campigli of Stockton said. "It was even more fun hunting eggs after it got dark. Even the adults had fun coming along with the kids and their flashlights."
Color coded: Want to make it fair for everyone? Assign a color to each egg hunter so that they can only collect their assigned hue.
Candy free: Ann Garcia of Stockton says her 5-year-old daughter Carley's eggs are filled with all sorts of girly-girl items - stickers, beaded bracelets, coins, mini bottles of nail polish, ponytail holders, rings, Playdoh, confetti, and even fish crackers. "But her favorite thing to find in her eggs are Squinkies, which are tiny toys," Garcia said. "They come in all kinds of characters."
Start in waves: When Liz Hernandez of Stockton gathers with friends and family at a local park for Easter, the kids are separated by age. Each group is set loose every 15 seconds.
Treasure hunt: Aye, aye! Make a treasure map that leads your pirates to the change and chocolate-coin-filled eggs. Or hide the Easter basket and put clues in eggs that lead to the loot.
Puzzle: Take a piece of card stock and write out a message that details the location of the Easter gifts. Cut the clue into jigsaw puzzle pieces and put each piece in a plastic egg. Once kids find all the eggs, they will have to team up and put the puzzle together to find their surprise.

First gold for U.S. boxers in Rio, first medal for the U.S. in marathon since 2004 and an epic volleyball comeback.
Take a look at some notable numbers from the final day of the 2016 Rio Olympics.
1: The amount of gold medals won by U.S. boxers in Rio. Claressa Shields defeated the Netherlands' Nouchka Fontijn, becoming the first American boxer of either gender to win two Olympic boxing gold medals. Her first gold was at the 2012 London Games.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
1 minute, 21 seconds: That is all that separated American Galen Rupp from an Olympic gold medal. He will have to settle for bronze, as he finished third behind gold-medal winner Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya (2:08:44) and silver-medalist Feyisa Lilesa of Ethiopia (2:09:54). It was Rupp's second marathon and first ever in the Olympics. Rupp became the first American to medal in this event since Keflezighi won silver in 2004.
2-0: The United States men's volleyball team trailed Russia two sets to none in the bronze medal game. But the American won the third and fourth sets to force a winner-take-all fifth, which went to the U.S., 15-13, and with it, the bronze medal.
4th: The Spanish men's Olympic basketball team won its fourth Olympic medal by defeating Australia, 89-88, in the bronze medal game. The bronze is Spain's first in Olympic competition. Spain had won silver in the 1984, 2008 and 2012 games.
Four more: In his fourth Olympics, Carmelo Anthony tied Russian Gennadi Volnov and Sergei Belov for the most individual medals won by a men's basketball player in Olympic history with four each.
With Team USA's gold medal, Anthony has three golds—the most among men's basketball players ever; American women Teresa Edwards, Lisa Leslie, Sue Bird, Tamika Catchings and Diana Taurasi have the most gold medals won by basketball players with four each—and a bronze. He was a member of the 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 U.S. Olympic teams.
Volnov won a gold, two silvers and a bronze between 1960 and 1972, while Belov earned a gold and three bronze medals in the four games spanning 1968 and 1980.
10: The number of countries which won their first Olympic gold medals in the Rio games. According to the Associated Press, the 10 golds are the most won by first-time Olympic participating countries since 1996, when 16 nations won their first Olympic gold medals.
15: The number of U.S. Men's basketball teams who completed Olympic play with sustaining a loss. Only three U.S. teams lost in Olympic play: The 1972 team, which believes it was cheated by officials in the gold medal game loss to the former Soviet Union; the 1988 team, which dropped a 82-76 decision to the Soviet Union in the semifinals before rebounding to rout Australia, 78-49, in the Bronze medal game; and the 2004 team, which lost three times in the tournament on its way to winning the bronze medal. That team, which included Carmelo Anthony, Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, Stephon Marbury and Allen Iverson, among other NBA starts, fell to Puerto Rico (92-73) and Lithuania (94-90) in the preliminary round, and dropped an 89-81decision to Argentina in the semifinals.
121: The total number of medals won by the United States in the Rio Olympics.

Victor Lin
United States Marines undergo some of the toughest training in the world, starting with boot camp. But I did not attend a real boot camp. So I chose the First Marine Division, where I was assigned to the Third Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. For the first year or so, I found that the experience was not so tough after all. Even after we deployed to Iraq in the fall of 2004, life was relatively comfortable.
But everything changed on November 9, 2004. While engaged in combat operations in Iraq, I was seriously wounded by an enemy explosive device. The force of the explosion and the resulting shrapnel caused multiple injuries to my legs. Instantaneously, my life became difficult. I underwent months of hospitalization, numerous surgeries, and arduous physical therapy. Setbacks, complications, and disappointments have made recovery seem incredibly slow. I still face months, if not years, of rehabilitation, perhaps more surgeries, and a final outcome that is uncertain from the human perspective.
However, I have already made great progress. Physicians can treat, but only the Great Physician heals. Praise the Lord! The sinner in me wishes that I could get a new body. I will! "For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed" (1 Cor. 15:52). My present body will continue to deteriorate, with or without the aid of explosives. I need to hold less tightly to the things of this world, and instead lay up treasures in heaven (Matt. 6:20).
I have often asked myself why this calamity happened to me. But when I do that, I also have to ask why God chose me to be his son. My mind has gone through the "what ifs," trying to determine if I could have avoided the injury. The inescapable conclusion is no. There is a purpose to my suffering. I am convinced that the enemy's evil intent was all part of the Lord's plan for me. It is a difficult fact to accept, but true. "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good" (Rom. 8:28).
Because he loves me, the Lord will not allow me to lead a soft, easy life. I especially cannot continue to comfortably dwell in my sins and live a life centered around myself. So I am going through boot camp-God's super special, spiritual boot camp, tailored for me-complete with trials and tribulations! Why? God "will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver" (Mal. 3:3). Like gold, we Christians must be sanctified and refined by spiritual fire, because he "who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ" (Phil. 1:6). Guaranteed!
And as I go through this boot camp, I am also comforted by the fact that the Lord will never leave or forsake me. "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom. 8:38-39).

The images were selected from the extensive files of The New York Public Library's Picture Collection specifically to enrich and supplement the study of ancient cultures in social studies, literature and arts classrooms. From almost a century of clipping and classifying images from illustrated publications and from donations into subject categories, the Picture Collection gradually added the images to its files. A wide swathe of sources range from prints resulting from the French Egyptomania unleashed by Napoleon's Expedition in 1798 to representations of masks from ancient Roman comedies in Le maschere sceniche e le figure comiche d'antichi Romani (1736) to illustrations of myths by John Flaxman (1755-1826) to Walter Crane's Arts-and-Crafts illustrations for Nathaniel Hawthorne's Wonder Book to Shell Oil's placard depictions of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Fascination with the achievements of ancient cultures dates back to Classical times. Lists of the Seven Wonders of the World were made by Herodotus (ca. 450 BC), Callimachus of the Library at Alexandria (ca. 270-240 BC), Philo of Byzantium (225 BC), Antipater (140 BC) and Strabo (10-30 CE). The traditional list of the Seven Wonders is confined to the Mediterranean region for this reason. The journeys of travelers visiting ancient monuments in foreign lands and the stories they brought back sparked the imaginations of illustrators, historians and storytellers throughout the ages. Through the pens, brushes and inks of 400 years of artists and illustrators, the images depict the marvels of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, Greece and Rome and demonstrate their enduring impact and influence upon every culture since.
Starting from the wonder of the Pharos (lighthouse) at Alexandria, said to be the first true high-rise building in the history of architecture, topics explored include ancient navigation and fishing, lamps, architecture and architects, building construction, Phoenician culture, and Egyptian rulers such as Ptolemy I. Images diverge from the statue of Zeus by Phidias to represent the Picture Collection's holdings on Greek and Roman mythology as well as such spectator sports as the theatre and the Olympic Games, over which the statue of Zeus presided. The Colossus of Rhodes, which caused a bronze shortage when it was built as a monument of victory over the Macedonians, is supplemented by images of ancient warfare and pictures of sculpture and pottery. The pyramid at Giza expands to include Egyptian archery, chariots, furniture, musical instruments, sphinxes and tombs.
Arrangement by subject is particularly conducive to comparing views of the lifestyles and beliefs of different cultures; a cross-section of customs can be explored in such topics as dining, funerals, houses and religion.
To demonstrate the connections among the images and suggest paths for exploring them, the Picture Collection has prepared a series of presentations on the popular educational tool Voicethread, listed below in Related Resources.
The New York Public Library's digitization project "Wonders: Images of the Ancient World" was supported in part by funds from the Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO) through the New York State Regional Bibliographic Databases Program.

BENEFITING: The Eating Disorders Information Network, Inc.
EVENT: Merrick's Walk for EDIN
Merrick's Walk for EDIN is a 2.7 mile walk around Chastain Park with the following purposes:
- to raise awareness of eating disorders,
- to remember those who have lost their battle with an eating disorder, and
- to raise funds for the Eating Disorders Information Network (EDIN) and its prevention programs in schools and the community of Atlanta.
The event began in 2001 in honor of Merrick Ryan, a 19-year old Galloway alum who died from complications of anorexia.
This year, the theme for Merrick's Walk for EDIN is "more than a number." The meaning of this theme is twofold. Statistics about deaths resulting from eating disorders, although shocking, can be impersonal and allow us to feel detached from the issue. We want to make it known that individuals like Merrick are more than a statistic. The theme also promotes the idea that in such a health- and weight-conscious society, we are more than our measurements, our weight, or the calories that we consume. Our value cannot be defined by a number.
Please join us in our mission to spread eating disorder awareness and promote our prevention efforts in Atlanta. Thank you for your support!

Silhouette CAMEO
Viewer Comments
This thing is so versatile, and the only machine you need. It beats the whole Cricut line hands down, I know I had all of those also.
I have the Silhouette Cameo and just love it. It can do so much. The designs are reasonable priced and can be downloaded so no need for bulky cartridges that take up valuable space in my craft room. There are a lot of sites that have freebie designs. Thank You for showing this webisode, I have learned more techniques on how to use my Cameo.
The Silhouette is absolutely a MUST HAVE for any scrapbooker or cardmaker! If you are considering whether to buy the silhouette or the cricut, look no further! It uses all the fonts and can even use the graphics on your computer to print and cut. And nowadays, you can get free fonts all over the Internet which means the types of letters you can print are ENDLESS! I'm especially in love with the vinyl and rhinestone capabilities of the machine. Best purchase I ever made!
How portable is the Cameo. I have a cricut that I take to crops and retreats, if I don't have a laptop can you take this to crops?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Ann is our Cameo expert and she says:
Yes, you can use it without a computer, as long as you have your designs saved on an SD card (memory card). You can plug the SD card into your computer, save whatever designs you want to cut, and then take the card with you and plug it right into the slot on the CAMEO. The CAMEO has the option to cut designs from the SD card. The CAMEO is also portable in terms of size and weight; you just need a bag big enough to carry it.
I had the org. Silhouette, but wanted the ability to do the things the Cameo offers. I got it as a Christmas gift from my husband. For ANYONE who crafts, this is the best machine you will ever own. I make all the cards I send to family and friends, all my Christmas cards, scrapbook page embellishments, one-of-a-kind gifts, etc. with this great machine. This is a great price, and you will wonder how you ever crafted without it. If you have any problem, no matter the size, their Customer Service reps are the best.
I use my Cameo every single day for something. It will pay for itself in no time. If the house catches on fire, my Cameo is coming with me.
I'm interest in buying the cameo but I don't know what kind of paper do you used and if I can buy it from you
I enjoy very much all your videos
Thank you
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Ann tested all kinds of papers that we carry which included cardstock, metallic gold and silver, glitter papers as well as regular patterned papersâall were from Paper Wishes. So on that score, you should be fine. It is a very fun machine.
Thank you for the e-mail of 101 Scrapbooking, 101 card making and 101 stamping. I buy the supplies and by the time I get around to using them, I have forgotten what to do, so the classes have been great.
So glad you carrying the Cameo. It is a superb instrument. I posted your site on the silhouette forum.A great place to discuss and ask questions. http://s15.zetaboards.com/Silhouette_Plus/faq/
I can't wait to try some of these projects....My Cameo arrives today...I'm so excited......
very interesting & hope yous can show more ideas with it another thing to think about in my crafting to do with card making wich i just started.
Beautiful images but...I like doing my cards or pages "cause I enjoy doing the work myself.The vinyl is a cool idea however.Thanks
I loved those little candy boxes. They are so sweet and just perfect for many things.
Thanks for sharing the video. I recently purchased the cameo and was delighted to see the beautiful cards and box and bag.
I love love LOVE my cameo! The cricut doesn't even compare, as it requires cartridges for fonts and shapes. The cameo uses whatever fonts you have on your computer and the shapes, designs, phrases, etc are limitless! You can "weld" your letters together easily, make mats for them, easily, trace your own designs, make T-shirts, vinyl designs (I did my son's mailbox), etching, and SO much more. If you are considering a craft machine at all...consider the cameo!
Definitely on my wishlist!
By the way, thank you for maintaining an archive of webisodes! I wanted to duplicate a card I made in 2009, and the instructions were still there.
You are the best - and I love your coordinating outfits.

At the slightest hint of a bear in the backyard, most of us would slam the front door and lock it immediately. Maybe, from behind the safe confines of a durable doorway, you'd yell or gently reason with it to go away. Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin apparently was bolder in dealing with the wildlife, and he ended up getting chased around his backyard, barefoot, by four of those very bears.
According to Shumlin's account to the Burlington Free Press, on Wednesday night he heard bears outside his home scrounging for food in his birdfeeders and yelled at them using (in a particularly apt phrase), his "strongest Vermonter" to shoo them off. He then ventured outside and took some of the feeders away from where the bears were. That's when, it seems, the trouble came. Local newspaper Lebanon Valley News reports:
Shumlin said he went outside again, and found a bear more aggressive then he expected.
"The (bear) charges me on the porch — I'm tearing through the door. You almost lost the governor," Shumlin joked. "Security was not there. I was within three feet of getting 'arrrh.'"
"Arrh" seems as good as expression as any when it comes to being this close from getting mauled by a bear. The Free Press noted that Shumlin "wasn't exactly dressed" for the confrontation. "Real Vermont boys don't wear pajamas," the Governor said to the paper.

Plantar warts are growths on the soles of the feet. They are often mistaken for corns or calluses]]> . The warts are different because they are caused by a virus.
They grow in clusters and are usually flat. A plantar wart can often be distinguished by numerous black dots visible on their surfaces. Although plantar warts are generally harmless, their location beneath the feet can make them very tender. They also have a tendency to spread locally to other sites on the foot and elsewhere.
Plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It can be contracted by walking barefoot on unsanitary surfaces. Touching and scratching can cause the virus to spread.
Factors that increase your chance for plantar warts include:
Symptoms include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. Your feet will be examined. Some doctors may wish to refer difficult cases to specialists. Podiatrists focus on foot disorders. Dermatologists focus on skin disorders.
There are many over-the-counter products available to treat warts. These therapies often contain a mild acid. You can usually apply them when a wart first appears.
Another popular and less expensive treatment is using duct tape to cover a wart for a week at a time. This is also done with weekly "sanding" of the wart with a pumice stone.
You should see a doctor:
After confirming the diagnosis of plantar warts, the doctor may use one or more of the following:
The best ways to prevent plantar warts is to keep your feet from coming into contact with the virus that causes them. Ways to do this include:
In addition, periodically checking for warts on children's feet may help prevent them from becoming larger and painful.

The United States Coast Guards Dutch Harbor Marine Safety Detachment is now reporting that the Cougar Ace, the Mitsui OSK Lines owned vessel that rolled in waters south of the Aleutian islands, subjecting its cargo of nearly 5,000 vehicles, including over 1,400 Mazda 3-series to a rough n' tumble and shake n' bake kind of ride. According to BYM News:
"...the Cougar Ace is stable, but most decks suffered vehicle damage and all the vehicles must be resecured...spilled transmission fluid and other lubricants, from all the car decks..."
Hmm, yeah...note to selves — don't buy any 3-series at auction for the next...oh...18 months. We think you can agree — especially when you check out the tanker for yourself below.

Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: I am not a Martha-hater. In a perfect world, I would have oodles of time and money and would while away my days making exquisite, hand-crafted gift tags to adorn all the homemade scented candle and potpourri favors that I'd pass out at my deliciously-catered garden parties. But the reality is that I have neither oodles of time, nor oodles of money. What I do have is a husband who works a demanding night job, two school-aged kids with lots of homework and extra-curricular activities, a house to clean, and a business to run.
When I was young and single, I used to subscribe to Martha's magazine and buy her books. I'd watch her show religiously and even take notes on ideas I wanted to try. I started a "someday" idea folder of recipes I'd make for my future husband and activities I'd do with my future children, presumably with all the oodles of time and money that would naturally come with the "someday" family of my dreams. I'm sure you can guess how those plans worked out. The family of my dreams I got, and it turns out that was all I really wanted.
But acknowledging Martha's profound creativity, I recently perused her website for some clever and unique organizing tips I might try out on some of my clients in my job as a professional organizer. Indeed I was impressed by how attractive and decorative her ideas were, until I considered that the point of organizing is not in getting organized but in being organized. If it's craft projects you're looking for, Martha's your gal. But for most of us working moms, orderly living is too urgent a need to waste time making your own clip-art calendar freezer labels when we can just as easily write the "use by" date right on the freezer bag with a sharpie. Sure, Martha's solutions may look nice, but these days, I'd rather spend the extra time and energy I save from being organized by laughing with my friends and family than laminating my to do list.
I recently came across my someday idea folder as I was organizing my storage area and chuckled at the level of skill my single self thought the someday me should have acquired by now. Thankfully, life has a way of changing your perspective and your priorities, and the present me is okay with having "failed" the Martha test. In fact, I even tossed out that idea folder to make room for the keepsake memories of things my kids and I did do together instead of using it for ideas I may someday do on my own.

SAN DIEGO - Manti Te'o made it to the NFL a day later than he expected, motivated to play well because he was snubbed in the first round of the draft.
Unconcerned about a hoax involving a fake girlfriend and a flop in the national championship game that have dogged Te'o for four months, San Diego Chargers rookie general manager Tom Telesco moved up seven spots in the second round to draft the Notre Dame linebacker on Friday night.
"I did expect to go in the first round. But things happened and all it did was give me more motivation to get better," Te'o said in a conference call with reporters.
Te'o had spent Thursday with family members in Hawaii, watching the first round of the draft and waiting for a phone call that never came.
That call came Friday.
"I don't know if I have something to prove, but it definitely puts a huge fire under my butt to just be better," Te'o said. "Again, that's the best thing that ever could happen to me. I'm already naturally a motivated person who just wants to be the best. All yesterday did was just give me more motivation and more fire to just go out there and play football and do well at it."
Te'o visited the Chargers before the draft, giving Telesco and rookie head coach Mike McCoy the chance to ask him about the issues.
"He handled it great," Telesco said.
Were the Chargers bothered by the scrutiny Te'o has been under?
"Obviously not. We took him," Telesco said. "We did our due diligence. All that stuff is not a concern to us. So we're just really, really excited to get him here. He took that Notre Dame program and kind of raised the talent level of the whole program. He was the undisputed leader there. We saw that.
"As a player, as a playmaker, he's instinctive. We can't wait to get him on the field."
Telesco said the Chargers had Te'o rated as a first-rounder. They needed an inside linebacker because Takeo Spikes was released and Demorrio Williams is a free agent.
Telesco got Arizona's second-round pick, No. 38, in exchange for San Diego's second- (No. 45) and fourth-round (No. 110) picks.
"We knew somebody may come up to get him. It was strictly just a judgment, a gut call," Telesco said. "Can we wait any longer? We made the move up to get him. Could we have waited? You just never know. We thought the value was there as far as giving up that pick to go get him."
Before being hired by the Chargers, Telesco was in the Indianapolis Colts' front office and had seen Te'o play several times.
"He's one of the finest kids I've met," Telesco said. "He loves football, is passionate about it. He's a leader. He was a leader at Notre Dame, not only on the football team, but on that campus."
Two officials, each with a different team, said their clubs passed on Te'o in the first round partly because of his off-field issues. The men, speaking on condition of anonymity because team draft strategy is confidential, said the decision was not just because of a disappointing combine performance or the linebacker's poor performance in the national title game.
The Heisman Trophy runner-up became the butt of national jokes after it was revealed he was duped into an Internet romance he had with a girlfriend he never met.
The too-good-to-be-true story began with Te'o's incredible performances after learning his grandmother and what he believed was his girlfriend had died within hours of one another in September. Te'o said it inspired him to play his best football all season, and it was so compelling that it helped turn Te'o into a Heisman Trophy contender as he was leading the Fighting Irish to an undefeated regular season and into the national championship game.
On Dec. 26, Te'o notified Notre Dame officials that he had received a call from his supposedly dead girlfriend's phone three weeks earlier.
The school investigated and on Jan. 16 - after Deadspin.com broke the story of the fake girlfriend - athletic director Jack Swarbrick announced at a news conference that Te'o had been duped. Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, 22, later said he created the online persona of Lennay Kekua, a nonexistent woman whom Te'o said he fell in love with despite never meeting her in person.
Te'o struggled in Notre Dame's blowout loss in the national championship game to Alabama and its offense full of future NFL draft picks. One of those players, right tackle D.J. Fluker, was drafted by the Chargers with the 11th overall pick Thursday night.
Te'o said everything he's gone through has increased his passion for the game because "that's my sanctuary, that's my fortress where I'm most comfortable. All it has done is made me look forward to when I'm back on that field again."
Te'o will get plenty of attention before he even plays a game with the Bolts.
"This is going to be a football team. He's going to have to deal with it," McCoy said. "The situation came up, he'll deal with that. People are going to have questions, OK? That's happened. He's going to learn from it, very similar to a lot of other people in life. You make a mistake from time to time, whatever that is, and you move on. You learn from it. It might come up at some point in time, but we'll deal with it however we need to. But he's one of ours now and he's going to help us win a championship here."
Te'o said going to the Chargers is "a perfect scenario. My parents can come and watch, I can go home, it's San Diego. We're all excited. I can't be any happier. Just looking forward to getting up there and getting this whole thing started.
"You talk about the Chargers, especially for a Samoan kid like me and you think of Junior Seau and what he did there and the legacy he left behind not only in San Diego but in the NFL," he said, mentioning the Chargers' late star linebacker.
A four-year starter and team captain, Te'o had 113 tackles, seven interceptions - the most ever in a season by a Fighting Irish linebacker - and 1½ sacks in 2012.
Te'o said he's going to be the same player in the pros as he was in college.
"I love the game, first and foremost. I'm a student of the game. I love to study film. I work hard. That's exactly what I'm going to be. I'm not going to change anything."
In the third round, the Chargers took Keenan Allen, California's all-time leading wide receiver, with the 76th pick overall.
The pick was unexpected, but certainly upgrades the position. He had 61 catches for 737 yards and six touchdowns for the Golden Bears last year, when he missed the final three games with a knee injury. He finished with 205 catches in three seasons. His 2,570 career yards were third in school history.

Professional Profiling
Determining your natural leadership style, and mastering others, can help you be your best.
At some point in their education, most students are required to take the Myers-Briggs test, a psychological questionnaire designed to pinpoint personality types. The idea is to help teachers and counselors identify learning styles and possible career paths for their charges. Managers would be wise to embrace the idea that understanding your personality type—or your leadership style—can help you be more effective.
One of the most respected lists of styles comes from the 2000 Harvard Business Review study "Leadership That Gets Results" by Daniel Goleman. The survey of more than 3,000 managers identified the following leadership styles and their benefits and weaknesses:
Coercive: This manager demands immediate compliance, employing a "do what I say" approach. Goleman says this personality trait can be extremely effective in dealing with a crisis or a problem employee. In most situations, however, coercive leaders dampen motivation and stifle innovation and flexibility.
Authoritative: This manager focuses on the ultimate goal, stating it clearly and urging employees to reach it, but allowing freedom to choose the means. An authoritative leader's skill is to mobilize the team toward a desired result, which gives employees space to experiment and take calculated risks. This approach tends to fall short, however, when the manager has less experience or expertise than his team. In these cases, Goleman warns, the manager can come off as out of touch.
Affiliative: This manager adopts a people-first philosophy, creating emotional bonds with employees. This technique is useful for building harmony or boosting morale. But focusing on praise alone can allow poor performers to skate, and employees in need of concrete advice can feel adrift.
Democratic: This manager gives employees a voice in decisions, helping build flexibility in the office and delegating responsibility for producing results and fresh ideas. But, Goleman notes, the impact on the office climate is not as high as one might guess. The downside can be endless meetings and confused employees who feel leaderless.
Pacesetting: This manager leads by direction, setting high standards for performance and expecting skill and speed. When a pacesetting manager has a highly competent and motivated team, this leadership style can bring quick results. But, Goleman notes, a natural pacesetter in the wrong environment can undercut morale, overwhelm team members and make employees feel as if they are consistently failing.
Coaching: This manager takes on the role of mentor, focusing more on personal development than on immediate work-related tasks. These leaders are willing to deal with short-term failures for the sake of long-term development. When employees are aware of their weaknesses and want to improve, this style can be effective. But when they are resistant to change or when the organization faces pressure for immediate results, this approach can backfire.
Goleman notes the authoritative leadership style has the most positive effect on an organizational climate, with affiliative, democratic and coaching not far behind. But his research indicates no style should be relied on exclusively.
It is crucial that managers make an honest self-assessment of their leadership style and recognize how it benefits or hinders the organization. But to handle diverse challenges, they also must develop styles that don't come naturally.

I'm looking for a starting point. Basically, I connect to a website everyday through an aspx logon page. That connects me to an aspnetForm page, where I type in a part number and I'm given my price for that part. Problem is, the wholesaler fluctuates the pricing, and I have no way of knowing unless I login and go part by part.
I'd like to create a page (Html or excel or ?) that will automatically tell me what my "live" prices are. I want to learn how to code a page or program that will "fetch" the aspnetForm results (price) based on the part numbers in my excel spreadsheet or on my webpage.
Someone give me a push, please. Thanks guys.

Wow, Squeenix is just totally killing the "Final Fantasy"-ness of the game its hero originally came from. Once again, Squeenix doesn't seem to proud of the games they've made...I like some of the ideas they got going, except the clock aspect, but having "more control" is 90% of the time a good thing. I'll look forward to seeing a trailer before pissing all over it.Besides a cool design, I agree with Kevadu... she's a boring chick.
I don't know, the battle system actually sounds like an improvement to me. I've gone on and on already about how I didn't like XIII's system so I won't rehash that.Though I don't think Lightning was ever a good character and I wish they would move on...
a new Chrono Trigger game
Just the fact the title of the game is 'Lightning Returns!" makes me want to hit squareenix with a 2 by 4. REALLY Square? You're that original?I, like everyone else, will be glad when this trilogy is over, because Lightning is not that great of a character. Hell, I wish the main character was Noel. I'd get behind that...and he's just okay.To SE's credit, the entire world seems to be different so I'll hold off total judgement until we get more info.
Quote from: gutter2d on September 01, 2012, 02:50:10 PMa new Chrono Trigger gameXIII-2 is practically that.
Quote from: Yggdrasil on September 01, 2012, 03:16:50 PMQuote from: gutter2d on September 01, 2012, 02:50:10 PMa new Chrono Trigger gameXIII-2 is practically that.Take that back, right now. Never, EVER compare XIII or its spinoffs to CT. Now go stand in the corner and think about what you've done young man.
Actually XIII-2 is fairly similar to CT at it's blueprint level. Jump the timeline, get a new macguffin/character related to the big bad, learn a tiny bit about the big bad, jump to a new timeline. Rinse and repeat until end game.CT just does it better because there are actual 'time line changing events' besides a change in background coloration.

Wayne County Executive Ficano wants new security detail driver for $55,000 each year
Wayne County executive's choice for driver position is former Sheriff's deputy who receives $105,000
DETROIT – Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano recently has been making big budget cuts including the elimination of more than 20 positions at the Prosecutor's Office.

However, the county executive wants to tap $55,000 from the budget to add a new position: a driver to his security detail. Some, including a county commissioner, say the contract bid doesn't seem right.
"Fifty-five thousand dollars is a lot of money. It's probably an attorney from the Prosecutor's Office," said Commissioner Ilona Varga.
The man Ficano wants in the position is a retired Sheriff's deputy who already gets a pension of $105,000. The man now could get the additional $55,000 yearly.
Ficano says it's a deal. The person will work as a driver, a security guard and also as a supervisor who will oversee parolees picking up trash. That's three positions for $160,000 each year.
"Any way you look at it, the person that would have been put in this position would have been a retired law enforcement person, because it's cheaper than hiring someone full time at that position," Ficano said.
The new position would bring Ficano's security detail to three people. To compare, Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel doesn't have any while Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson has one, on occasion, who is already employed with the county in another role.
When asked if he thinks he needs more security than the other county executives, Ficano said, citing his years spent as county Sheriff, "I've had direct threats on my life. I don't know what Mark's (Hackel's) situation is."

Look for this anti-Meg Whitman TV ad, just released by the campaign of her opponent Steve Poizner, to create a sensation. It jumps from real questions about Whitman's service as a board member at Goldman Sachs to trumped-up or not-yet-proven charges: Specifically that Whitman profited from the current fiscal crisis and specifically California home foreclosures. It's possible that's true, but we don't know nearly enough about her investments to say.
Another characteristic that should propel this ad to prominence: It stars an animal, the go-to metaphor of this election season in California (remember the attention created by the "demon sheep" in U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina's ad).
The vulture is an apt metaphor for the sad shape of this campaign. Rather than offer clear solutions to the state's crisis of governance, they've been content to circle the sky and then swoop down on the weaknesses of their opponents. That's typical political behavior, but it doesn't seem to fit the times. This isn't 2002 or 2006. This is 2010 California, with weakened schools, persistent budget deficits and an unemployment rate among 12 percent. Whether this ad is true or not, Whitman isn't the only gubernatorial candidate who seems out of touch with California day-to-day realities.

To the previous reviewer in regards to your dough rising, you might want to check the expiry date on your yeast. When it's out of date it just doesn't work. I've found there really isn't much "grace period" like with some other foods when you get to the expiry date.
Dec 2, 2012
My grandmother use to make donuts fifty years ago and this reminded me of her so I tried it. It failed or I failed. I followed the directions to the letter and where is stated to beat the dough a second time on medium after adding egg and vanilla the dough stopped my mixer after about 15 seconds. Kneading the dough 6-8 minutes seemed like a long time but I did it 6 minutes. I oiled a bowl and put the ball of dough in it, covered it with plastic wrap and put it in a warm place to rise but after and hour and fifteen minutes it still hadn't doubled so I used it anyway and though they look good they are doughy on the inside. I also had to use a small 1 inch cookie cutter not a 2 inch. What did I do wrong? they tase really good.

Apple fired the manager responsible for its much-ridiculed Apple Maps app, according to reports.
Apple terminated Richard Williamson, who headed the mapping team, and senior vice president Eddy Cue was the person who effectively pushed Williamson out, according to Bloomberg News. Cue, who took over the project last month, is said to be negotiating and consulting with mapping contractors and mapmaker TomTom to help fix the app's many problems.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Apple Maps was considered so flawed only two months ago -- it even had a museum mapped in the middle of a river -- that chief executive Tim Cook publicly apologized for it.
Apple has been working on fixing the mapping mistakes, but the main problem was that Apple had made such a production expelling all things Google from its iOS and then unveiled a substandard piece of software. The much-used Google Maps doesn't exist in the current iOS, and Apple had also removed Google's YouTube. (Google is reportedly at work on an iOS Google Maps app.)
While the Bloomberg story quotes unnamed sources, the story doesn't sound far-fetched. It's just surprising it took Apple this long to get rid of the person they could blame for its faulty app.

When you see a dog tied up outside of a store, your first reaction may be their owner stopped in to pick up something quick. That's what many people thought when they passed by the little pit bull puppy, Dempsey.
Dempsey was just seven months old when he was abandoned outside of a drugstore in Georgia. No one thought the puppy was abandoned until it was hours later and no one came to claim him. To make matters worse, Dempsey wasn't a healthy, cute-looking puppy. He looked like this:
Thankfully, someone finally called animal control and they came to pick-up Dempsey. He made his way to DeKalb County Animal Services where he was taken to the vet. Dempsey suffered from an eye infection and severe mange (a skin disorder caused by parasites):
Despite his terrible condition, Dempsey immediately touched the hearts of the staff at DeKalb County Animal Services. They reached out to Friends to the Forlorn Pitbull Rescue in Atlanta where Stacey Greenwald, a volunteer with the group, took Dempsey in:
There, Dempsey began his road to recovery through medicated baths, antibiotics, and the most important treatment of all: love.
In just three short weeks, Dempsey's conditions began to improve. And only two months after Dempsey was left in front of the store, he was a brand new dog:
The once defeated, sick, sad puppy is now a totally unrecognizable happy, friendly, and easygoing dog. Luckily for Dempsey he is now with a new foster family who plans to give him his forever home:
