Woman Jailed for 8 Years after aborting her unborn baby at 39 weeks.

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/mother-jailed-for-eight-years-after-1329207

I'm all for pro-choice, you should have the right to abort, as long as it's within the legal time frame, one week before the due date is pretty sickening.

It's no wonder I have a displeasure for society with people like this around.

Blizzard cuts off Iranian access to World of Warcraft

US trade sanctions have led game maker Blizzard to cut off access to World of Warcraft (Wow) in Iran.
Click to expand...

Blizzard posted a statement to its player-forum site after hundreds of Iranian players said they had lost access to the game.
Access was lost recently, it said, because it had "tightened up its procedures" to comply with sanctions.
This also meant, said Blizzard, that it could not give refunds to players or transfer their accounts.
Broader block
The problem for Iranians came to light late last week as hundreds of players in the country posted messages to Blizzard's European Battle.net forums complaining they could no longer access the game.
Many of those posting messages said they could not connect directly to World of Warcraft but could get access when they used a proxy server outside Iran.
The outpouring of complaints led Blizzard to post a statement explaining what had happened.
The statement said US economic sanctions and trade restrictions meant it could not do business with people living in certain nations. One of which was Iran.
"This week, Blizzard tightened up its procedures to ensure compliance with these laws, and players connecting from the affected nations are restricted from access to Blizzard games and services," read the statement.
Unfortunately, said Blizzard, the same sanctions meant it could not give refunds to players in Iran or help them move their account elsewhere.
"We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and will happily lift these restrictions as soon as US law allows," it added.
Although the block on Wow has been imposed by Blizzard, other reportssuggest a wider government ban might have been imposed.
Players of Wow and other games, including Guild Wars, said when they had tried to log in they had been redirected to a page saying the connection had been blocked because the games promoted "superstition and mythology".
Blizzard said it had no information about Iranian government action against online games.

Implemented Jump to posts shortcut.

I'm sure you've all at least used one of the sites that have this feature, I know 9gag, Tumblr and Memebase all use it, but it's basically where you hit the "J" key usually and it jumps to the next post on the page, well I thought, why doesn't KHV try that? So I acquired this script and it's been tested on Chrome and works perfectly:

$(document).keydown(function(e){
var locaPrev = $('nav:contains("< Prev"):first a:contains("< Prev")').attr("href");
var locaNext = $('nav:contains("Next >"):first a:contains("Next >")').attr("href");
if (e.keyCode == 74 && e.altKey) {
window.location.href = locaPrev;
};
if (e.keyCode == 75 && e.altKey) {
window.location.href = locaNext;
};
});

Due to the quick reply function, simply having J and K being the keys used to jump between posts would make it so it's impossible to use J and K in quick reply posts, so the script has been modified to solve that, for this you type in Alt+J to go to the next post and Alt+K to go the previous post.

^ there's a slight error, this code jumps between pages, if you'll give me a moment I'll get one that jumps between posts.

I just figured this'd make lives easier for lazy members like myself, opinions?

Tampa Police Post Threatening Letter with Photo to Protesters

The upcoming Republican National Convention will transform the Tampa Bay area on an international level. Like no other, this event will showcase the area’s communities as well as the Herculean task to provide security for citizens, delegates, visitors and everyone in between.

Federal, state and local law enforcement officers began planning for this event in June 2010. I am confident to tell the public that we are prepared to make it a successful RNC in Tampa. The challenges of preparing for and executing a security/safety plan for an event of this magnitude are daunting. There are many pieces of the puzzle, most known but some unknown. For me, staffing is the critical piece to making it all work. While the RNC is taking center stage and mandates a heavy commitment of Sheriff’s personnel, plenty of deputies will still be available to answer calls for service throughout the county.

The RNC demands thousands of law enforcement officers to converge on downtown Tampa for a 24-hour-a-day presence. Some will be assigned special security details. Some will be responsible for getting the scores of buses and vehicles with delegates and VIPs to and from the Tampa Bay Times Forum. Some will be on the street. Some won’t be seen but poised to respond quickly and appropriately to a security situation. All of these law enforcement officers – some deputies, some police, some state troopers, some federal and state agents – will have to perform as a unified, cohesive unit. These law enforcement officers from dozens of sheriff’s offices and police departments across the state must execute a uniform philosophy of crowd management and security. Blending all of the personnel has been a months-long strategy of training, scheduling and equipping.

Tactically, we are ready. Security plans for the venue and the perimeters are set. Boundaries, protests zones and parade routes are established for the thousands expected in downtown Tampa. This is a special time for local civic pride as Tampa Bay gets ready to shine. To the agitators and anarchists who want only to bring a dark cloud to this event, let me be clear: criminal activity and civil disturbances will not be tolerated and enforcement actions will be swift.

We are prepared for a peaceful and purposeful RNC. Part of our security planning process included discussions with law enforcement officials in Minneapolis-St. Paul about the mistakes and successes when that area hosted the RNC in 2008. Lessons learned were lessons included in our months of discussions about security.

The most visible aspect our security plan will be the boots on the ground – the law enforcement officers on the street, manning perimeter posts and designated protective locations. Their khaki-colored uniforms, clearly marked with “SHERIFF’’ or “POLICE’’ are designed to provide the appearance of a fine-tuned machine. And it is. There will be a consistency in garb, response and reaction by all of the law enforcement officers. You will also see hundreds of law enforcement officers on bicycles; others on horseback. What the public won’t see is the staging of quick reactionary forces, tactically deployed at locations around the city to handle an emergency situation. These special contingents of law enforcement officers are trained, equipped and prepared.

While the biggest challenge is staffing, the logistics of housing, feeding, staging, scheduling and transporting thousands of law enforcement officers each day had its own issues. We had to secure hundreds of hotel rooms, ample food vendors, buses and devise timetables for round-the-clock security coverage. When the law enforcement officers are on duty at their assigned posts, one key will be to keep them hydrated. Dealing with the withering August heat and humidity was just another hurdle for us. Our LEO’s will get plenty of water – each with Camelback hydration packs as part of their uniforms. Throughout the city there will be specially assigned locations for security personnel to replenish and refresh. Keeping our law enforcement officers cool and collected is paramount to everyone’s safety.

There will be arrests. The question is how many. We are prepared to handle any number of RNC-related arrests through our Orient Road Jail. We are committed to due process and the rule of law regarding RNC-related arrests. We have procedures and policies in place to ensure an orderly and lawful process for anyone arrested.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is excited to be teaming with the Tampa Police Department in our shared responsibility for RNC security. Our security plan would not be possible without the cooperation and dedication of other sheriffs and police chiefs around the state. For one week in August, there will be thousands of law enforcement officers in Tampa with a laser focus: provide a safe and secure RNC.

Bruno Mars

I don't hold much faith in music these days, alot of it is generic crap that's really just a cash chip and songs are made to be catchy regardless of good, but the confusion is held that catchy = good, not the case.

That being said, I quite like this guy, he's got soul in his voice, I actually feel like he enjoys making music and I've not heard a song from him that I don't like.

Any fans? Opinions?
