“While the adults at the party were in the backyard, the girl and another 5-year-old girl went into a room inside the house where the rifle was stored underneath the bed, Gower said.
The girl was shot and suffered from a fatal wound to her upper torso. She was taken to a local hospital where doctors attempted to revive her, Gower said. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.”

“A man shot his former lover’s new boyfriend in the leg early Saturday morning after the two men argued about who was a better father to the first man’s son, police said.”

Mmm MMM! I am tasting your excellent spring juice now. Does it QUENCH!
Hey, I heard this one priest the other day at St. Tim’s say that getting married is like putting together two h’s and an o to make water? And he said that if you put the wrong number of h’s and o’s together, you might get an explosion. WHAT?! Is that true (cool!)?
Well, if that’s true, I think more marrieds should become Crystal Geysers. This is just my opinion and I buy your water all the time and often consume it to disgorgement!
So, I was looking at my water bottle just now and I saw that it says, “Do not refill.” I wondered why it says that. Could you tell me?
I was bumming around the ‘Net recently, looking for agruments against socialism, when I came across a speech by Newt Gingrich. Well, I kept hearing stuff that I couldn’t help but question. So, I transcribed the speech and added some annotations. The bracketed numbers, if it isn’t clear, are a rough indication of where Mr. Gingrich said that in the speech.
The speech was posted without information about the venue, date, or time. I can only guess that he gave it in 2005, around the time he published Winning the Future.
The speech starts…now:
I’m going to take just two or three topics to give you examples of this level—this is the Reagan/Thatcher level of setting up arguments so profound that the other side, in the end, can’t win them, and then just sticking to it.
So, I’m going to give you a couple of areas to think about. I’m going to deal with patriotic education and patriotic immigration. And, in order to explain the context of patriotic education and patriotic immigration, I’m going to talk a little bit about the centrality of our Creator to understanding America as an exceptional country.

I can only speak for the 1and1 half of this as my friend did the sql dump at Site5.
I updated the database name in the sql dump. I uploaded it using MySQL 5.0 (I previously used MySQL 4.0) and phpMyAdmin. I made my edits using BDV Notepad.
When I had the sql dump file open in BDV Notepad, some characters (em dashes, smart quotes, u with umlaut, etc.) looked corrupted. However, after I uploaded the file, they appeared fine.
My previous attempt to edit the sql dump file in MS Notepad seemed to corrupt many special characters. My attempt to upload the file after editing failed several times. I think this had something to do with the UTF character encoding. The solution seemed to be to change as little as possible. Though, I did cut out around 2mb of unnecessary rss info that I think was generated by something called Magpie RSS.
I had all the Wordpress directory ready to go on the new server. So, I followed the directions here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
