Around 0.8 miles up Bear Creek Road, you will come to an open meadow that descends down to Bear Creek. Cross a somewhat hidden log "bridge" and follow the trail that begins up the lower flank of Ballard. The trail comes to two separate junctions. Follow all junctions right, and begin the long and unyielding climb up Ballard.

This trail was originally created by hearty miners and their mule teams over 100 years ago. The path is littered with remnants of their occupation, and the hike itself offers terrific insight on just how tough these men really were.

As previously mentioned, both the Ballard and Deer Tail Basin Trail are old mining trails.

Focus On Sandy
Monday, December 10, 2012
By Lexi Palma '13
Creative arts and digital photography students used their talent to raise more than $500 for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. During a two day event called Focus on Sandy, the photography students sold their photos and donated all of the proceeds to the American Red Cross Hurricane Relief efforts.
"I'm happy I was able to be part of such an inspiring event," Angelique Turman Corchado '15 said. "It's great that we were able to do something to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy."
Assistant Professor of Studio Art Liz Blum helped the students run the event and stressed how important it was for the Siena community to get involved in the relief effort. Blum said the photography sale made the response come full circle.
"The way we learn of a disaster such as this, and many others that happen throughout the world, is primarily and initially through images," Blum said. "No matter how hard they are to look at, we witness that event and become part of the reaction."
Blum said that the sale also validated the work of the digital photography students.
"Photo students were enthusiastic about this effort and I believe felt proud and honored that their work could be viewed and sold, not only as benefiting a cause, but as being seen, placed and appreciated beyond the classroom."
Other campus groups, including the American Red Cross Club of Siena and the Franciscan Center for Service and Advocacy are also raising money to support the relief effort.

Saints Lose Late Lead, Fall to Young Harris 87-85
Contact Joey Daniels, firstname.lastname@example.com
DAHLONEGA, GA – The Saints led for all but 15 seconds of the entire game and fell down the stretch to Young Harris, 87-85, in non-conference action Saturday afternoon in Memorial Hall.
North Georgia (7-8) was seemingly in control the entire game against the future Peach Belt Conference members, but could not hold off the Mountain Lions and ultimately lost for a second time this season against Young Harris.
Clarence Tillman looked like his old self against the Mountain Lions, scoring a game-high 30 points. Tillman finished a rebound shy of a double-double and converted on 13 of 15 free throw attempts.
The Saints held a 13-point lead going into the half and led by as many as 17 in the first period.
The junior Scott Windom had another fantastic game, finishing with 21 points, including two three-pointers. Windom also grabbed seven rebounds.
Young Harris (12-2) outscored the host Saints by 15 in the second half to come away with another road victory.
The Mountain Lions saw four players reach double figures and were led by Vince Martin with 29 points.
Frank Adams, Bryson Robertson and Steve Viterbo all finished in double-figures as well.
Although North Georgia outrebounded Young Harris 46-35, they did not grab enough down the stretch of the game to earn a split with the visiting team.
Elijah Smith led all players in rebounds with 14. Smith finished with seven points along with a pair of blocks.
After shooting very poorly against UNC Pembroke on Thursday night, the Saints shot 78.8 percent (26-33) from the free throw line.
Having been swept by Young Harris this year, North Georgia will have plenty of opportunities against the Mountain Lions in the future.
Young Harris will join the Peach Belt Conference season next season and begin playing North Georgia twice a year as in the league's west division.
North Georgia returns to conference play next Monday when they welcome in Francis Marion.
The game will be part of student-athlete appreciation night and the North Georgia softball team will also be honored at halftime of the men's game by receiving their College World Series rings.
Tip-off against the Patriots starts with the women tipping at 5:30 PM and the men following at 7:30 PM.

I attempted to test this, but got error "no entry configbinworlds" and kicked to the menu. It happens repeatedly.
Works fine for me. It sounds like you've only stuck the unzipped folder inside of the OFP missions directory. That's the only way I've ever gotten that error.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean here. I've extracted the PBO file to the missions directory. This is the way I've done all others. Am I missing something?

I've downloaded version 5.0 and it has played fine for me as well. I'm sure you have but you may like to check again and make sure your PBO reads "patrolling party.Abel". That error means it can't find a configuration for the island in which your trying to load, which means the island extension is incorrect.
The music is still starting late for the beginning cutscene. It makes no matter, just thought you would like to know.
I noticed the text in the savegame trigger. Nice.
I didn't play further than the mines this time as I was only attempting to make sure it played for now. I'll test it further...later.

Use "true" instead of "this" in the condition field of the trigger. That makes the trigger fire instantly at mission start. You don't need a radius when it is set to true like that.

Yes, the problem was my folder. I pulled the pbo file out of the folder but I still had the folder in there. I needed to remove the folder so it didn't show as a mission...duh...lol.
Tested in Resistance 1.96 on cadet difficulty
I noticed you used "cautionally". I'm not sure if this is the correct word to use. I only know American English, where cautiously would be the proper word here. Other than that, perfect.
I don't know if this would be considered an intro because it came after the briefing, but the camera angles and music really fit in well here.
OK, I've played it for two nights, do you think I finally finished it? Absolutely not, this mission is hard! The radio save definitely helped me get really far, though. Thanks for adding that for me...lol. Anyways, I finally got the furthest by moving through the mountains to the east of the road. I think I completely bypassed the first engagement area with the question mark. I turned and headed toward the camp when I was just far enough south to be on the flank. I rolled through the mountains ever-so-slowly through the rough terrain. I eventually came to another road that cut in front of me when I had my first engagement. About a squad of enemys crossed the road to our right. We mowed them all down and I quickly saved. Then, I disembarked and moved with the infantry to the very top of the mountain for a little recon. The valley below seemed dead, but then I spotted an m113 in the distance. I quickly ran back to get the APC and roll it to the top of the hill to engage. When we got to the other side where we could see, all of a sudden enemy infantry began appearing everywhere! Half of my squad got nailed by grenades, and I was injured and crawling, but a couple of cannon rounds from the APC and objective completed! I lost half my squad, but the APC took out the m113s for my first ever completed objective on this mission. I was excited. The only problem was the automatic save right after half my squad was annihilated meant that I would have to continue with half of my squad or start back from the beginning. Anyway, next I tried to roll forward but just tumbled down the mountain in the APC and literally rolled right into the enemy base, leaving my squad behind before I was annihilated by an RPG. Back at the savepoint, I was able to edge my way down the mountain, but my squad was cut down by an MG that was planted on the next mountain. With just my APC left, we were annihilated by an RPG. Two more tries with similar results. Then, I just decided to wait where I was, get out, and spot targets for the APC. I couldn't see anything after about 5 minutes, so I tried to carefully move forward-left to try to get to the highpoint of the next mountain. Just as I got to the top and RPG came out of nowhere and nailed me. A couple more tries with similar results, before I was somehow able to creep my way forward and eliminate a ton of enemies on the way to the next mountain. I made it to the mountain safely with all of my men (that were left) alive so I saved game. I really regretted it when I started taking fire from behind. 2 of my men went down as I rolled the tank backwards so the armor could protect my infantry, and then WAM, another RPG ended my run. After a few more tries from the new save point that began me in a firefight, I just headed further inland to the next road east. I made it there and then traveled south, parallel to the objective. Since I was injured and my men were pretty banged up I figured I could get to that base that I was suppose to make it to after the objective and maybe there would be a medical tent. On the way, saved the game and then couldn't resist the temptation to turn off road and assault the enemy directly from the left flank. Since I had just saved, I didn't have much to lose. I decided to mount all of my men in the APC and blitz into the enemy base before ordering the infantry to disembark and hold the base fighting. It didn't work. Another RPG nailed me. Back at the save point, I now decided to do what I had planned and drive all the way to the friendly base to see if I could get medical attention for me and my squad. I stayed on the road and drove to it to find that it was just a village. There was no base, no friendlies, no medical tent. There was, however, another group of soldiers with an RPG and WHAM! I was finished for the night.
Closing Comments
I am so sorry that I still have yet to complete this mission. I really enjoy the heck out of it. Things are really coming together nicely. My only complaint is that there are just too darn many RPG soldiers which makes it very difficult for me. Perhaps, next time, I will try to counter that by assaulting on foot, but the APC is a very tempting deathtrap.
I'll get it one day. Excellent work on this mission!

thanks for playing my mission,its looks like you are not a good player of ofp yet,but if you keep trying then you can one da definitely become a ofp good player,like me.you know in cwc campain after montiec mission i struck for 4 months,when i passed that mission that day i feel big relief,
if you try to pass this mission with your foot than it is not hard to pass.remember never afraid from die,if you play this mission with any fear than you can pass it very easliy,always make your soldiers in stealth position,by the way you can use machine gunner very effectively,

This time I used simple strategy to avoid the mines - since BMP is amphibious vehicle I used it to "swim" alongside with my squad (with exception of stubborn number 4 who refused to board the BMP).
A BMP can transport 8 soldiers in addition to 3 crew - hence it can only carry 11 members of your squad.
Patrolling Party v5.0
Veteran mode: Completed in 57 minutes, Score ~11,400
Lots of kills using the G36, and later M21, but killed a few times by lone machinegunners (not M2)
Readme, overview and briefing present
All objectives ticked off
Scoring system in place
- Go on! Have a go at adding a picture - after all, you can always find a better one later.
- Lots of questions, but they can each be answered by a sentence in the briefing:
why have the Americans / NATO invaded Malden?
by what means? (presumably amphibious ie. from a ship)
why is the player fighting them?
how do we know that their HQ is located there?
how do we know to expect 5 officers?
why are we to go to Goisse?
- I have no idea where the other squad and T-55s are moving from. Place markers to show where they start.
- I am not too happy with the squad:
give the player a rank such as Lieutenant
make at least one other a Sergeant with higher skill
consider including a medic
- when I played first, I didn't realise the BMP was there for me to use
- I came across at least one enemy group standing in Safe mode. I scattered them with an RPG.
I suggest putting the groups on the
side of the HQ to HOLD (ie. defend),
then those on the
side should be on GUARD (ie. counter-attack).
should be in Safe mode, they are invaders after all.
- not wild about lone machine-gunners - they killed me too often.
- no chatter between friendly groups. In the Init field of the leader enter:
secondsquad = group this
then in the On Activation field of triggers and waypoints, you can put:
leader secondsquad sideChat "We are entering the enemy zone."
and so on...
- consider making it easier to get past the mines: adjust their probability of presence to 50 - 60 %

Will give this one a run-through later on
First time playing this mission, should be fun...
Ok, I'll do this review as I'm playing it (makes remembering certain details much easier)
Played on OFP v1.96 on Veteran, no mods active
Fairly basic picture that is a little pixelated, but does convey the plot to some extent. I would definately try and improve the image (there's a few tutorials around that can help). The title 'patrolling party' should be separate from the rest of the text. It should read:
Patrolling party
NATO starts to make a foothold on Malden, so it's time to act
Personally I would add some more text to provide more information as to what the mission is about. Plenty of work is needed to improve the overview.
None. Would have liked to have seen one. Perhaps this is something you can add in the next version? There's a few tutorials lying around that can help you learn the basics of camera scripting.
Fairly standard BIS-style briefing, but provides enough info. I would have wanted to have seen a little background, similar to what W.E.K has suggested. Good to see a gear selection that seems appropriate for the task at hand.
Some quite nice camera shots to begin with. So, perhaps you could do something similar for the intro? Anyway, I would put a 'savegame' after the cinematic concludes, so that the player does not have to watch the cinematic again should they retry the mission (oops, noticed the radio savegame, oh well, would be good to see a 'savegame' done for you in case you forget to use 0-0-1). The mission itself is quite enjoyable, simple, but fun. For the sake of beta testing it is good that you have included a repeating savegame radio, but when this mission is eventually released, I would have it so that the player only has a few savegames at his disposal (this would make the mission more challenging). I would probably increase the skill of the enemy units as well when this mission is released. It took me about 30 mins to complete the mission, but if what I said was implemented I can see this mission taking longer and being quite challenging indeed. It reminded me a lot of Aldo's 'Rescue' mission.
Would have liked to have seen a conclusion to the story. Some simple shots like the cinematic at the start of the mission is all that's needed for this.
This mission is bug-free, which means that the only stuff needed are special features, additional cinematics. As it stands you have the skeleton of a good mission, now you need to begin adding the rest of the components needed. I enjoyed playing it, and I look forward to whatever changes you make.
Happy editing!

Hey, here's my feedback for the mission.
The overview is ok - the picture is a bit grainy but it does it's job.
The intro is very short and basic, just showing what appears to be the enemy HQ and a few soldiers.
The briefing is solid work, is provides all the necessary info plus a small weapons selection. Use of map markers is also good.
Incredibly hard. You start at the beach with a BMP close by that you can use. A platoon of T55 already sets off towards the enemy objective, and it is practically impossible to keep up with them. What I did was to let 2 squadmates board the BMP and proceeded on foot, to have some armored fire support. The first stretch of the mission is very boring as there is nothing going on.
But once close to the ? makers, all hell broke loose, many enemies are attacking, and I did not succeed to keep the BMP alive. The T55 also fell victim to either the enemy RPG gunners or mines. Towards the HQ, many squads were thrown at the player, so the fight was a very though one. At the HQ, I managed to conquer and use a M2, and more through a stroke of luck, my squad destroyed one M113 and disabled the second, so I was able to cut down the enemy infantry undisturbed.
A few more enemy squads and lone machine gunners later, we arrived at Goisse, which proved to be empty - which was almost a relief
The mission ended there with no further attack.
An outro is missing from this build.
Very challenging mission that is bug-free and long.
-Cinematics can be improved
-I would like to see the enemy a bit more spread, e.g. smaller enemy squads early on in the mission, and cutting down the size of enemy squads later on.

y Feedback for version 6.0:
The Readme says it's version 7.0, so please correct either the thread or the ReadMe.
Picture is still blurry. There needs to be a . and an empty space between the first and the second sentence of the overview text.
Pretty basic camera angles, I would call it an OK intro though.
Tells me everything I need, plus I got a tiny weapons selection which is another plus. Not sure about typos though, should be checked with a native speaker to be sure.
Contrary to last time, the patrols were more even spread, and smaller, so I had constant action but never felt overwhelmed - well done here. Goisse was alive with a few soldiers.
Still not done.
Well made mission of light to moderate difficulty that is enjoyable.
Spot and eliminate the typos in the Overview and possible Briefing.

The Asigra Recovery License Model is a performance-based model that accounts for the total amount of recovery performed on an annual basis. This model is unlike any others in the storage market today as it is focused on recovery, not backup. Therefore the costs are much lower and fairer.
"Business model revolutions have been proven to obliterate how buyers consume goods and services. A perfect example is Amazon's Internet-based consumption model which turned retail on its head or iTunes which changed the way we shop for and purchase music. This 'Amazon Effect' is a business model shift that happens when a marketplace adopts a new approach to consumption," said Steve Duplessie, Founding Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "This is happening in IT and Asigra's Recovery License Model is one such example that could cause an upheaval in the backup and recovery space."
A 2013 ESG survey reveals that most midsize and large enterprises recover less than 10% each year. So why pay for 100% recovery. To find out more about the new patent pending Asigra Recovery License Model call us today.

How Intelligent Device Manufacturers Are Using Embedded Software to Grow Revenue
April 25, 2012 // Flexera // 0 commentsDownload White Paper 268Ko
This white paper describes how intelligent device manufacturers can use electronic licensing to protect and enhance intelligent devices as well as how to distribute updates and upgrades to already deployed devices. Increasingly, the value of an intelligent device is based on the software or firmware delivered with the device. The flexibility of software allows intelligent device manufacturers to sell many differentiated products while streamlining manufacturing processes. In addition, protecting your software R&D investment is critical to monetizing your platforms and ensuring a steady revenue stream. But the fact is paper- and trust-based licensing programs are no longer adequate. Moving to electronic licensing allows high-tech manufacturers to protect and grow revenue, without complex changes to manufacturing processes.

Cod with Salsa Verde
Inspiration: This was one of the first recipes that we had on the blog way back in 2008. I figured it was time for an update, right? And besides, with little Ben around, dinners like this that are easy peasy are getting thrown onto our menu left and right.
What We Loved: This recipe is dead simple to make and it's plenty flavorful, which is always a great combination. Cod is really light and fresh, and the Mexican seasonings in this recipe really add a nice spicy punch. I just love the tangy, almost sweet flavor of salsa verde in any application, and here it adds a particularly nice contrast to the spicy seasonings. This meal is a great way to get some Mexican flavors on your table if you're looking for something a little bit lighter.
Tips: I really like taking some help every once in a while from something like a jarred salsa. We love Rick Bayless' Frontera brand salsa because it's full of whole ingredients, plus we like to support one of our favorite chefs. But you could certainly make your own salsa verde for this recipe if you're not looking for a fast recipe or concerned about time constraints.
Cod with Salsa Verde
Source: Original Recipe
Serves: 2
12-16 oz cod filets
Chili powder
Ground cumin
Kosher salt and black pepper
Salsa verde, either homemade or your favorite jarred variety (I used Frontera brand)
Cilantro, chopped
1. Season the cod filets well with chili powder, cumin, Kosher salt, and black pepper.
2. Add a good couple of pats of butter to a saute pan over medium heat. Add the cod, and saute until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Serve the cod topped with salsa verde and chopped cilantro.

I thought I bought cod, but ended up with sole from Trader Joe's. What an awesome recipe, thank you! I found your site through Chowstalker and looked through all of your recipes. They all look amazing! So glad to have found your site!
I have tried fish with Salsa verde before and I loved it. I'll have to give your recipe a try because it looks incredibly tasty. Thanks for the recipe :-)

meh, everything good he does is gravy for the Heat... if its bad they cut him ..... win-win
Heat dispute reports Michael Beasley required treatment for punching self in head
Michael Beasley made his preseason debut for the Heat in a 112-107 road victory over the Pistons on Thursday, tallying nine points, two rebounds and, reportedly, one massive headache.
The Miami Herald reports that Beasley enjoyed a successful night overall, minus a little over-eager self-discipline.
Upset with himself over missing a shot, Beasley started punching himself in the head while running back on defense. He punched himself so hard that he needed treatment after the game from the Heat's trainer.
The paper further reported on Twitter that Beasley's eyebrow was "swollen" and that the team's staff treated him using the same medical tools that a boxing trainer might use on a fighter during a bout. He apparently began punching himself after being whistled for a traveling violation.
UPDATE: Here's video of Beasley punching himself after being called for a travel (via YouTube user NBillets):
Beasley, 24, signed a one-year, non-guaranteed contract with Miami in September. He did not play in Miami's preseason opener against Atlanta on Monday because of a minor leg injury, but he saw nine minutes off the bench against Detroit.
The Sun-Sentinel also reported the incident, but noted that Beasley was happy with the first game action of his second tour of duty with the Heat, who selected him with the No. 2 pick in the 2008 draft before trading him to the Timberwolves in 2010.
"It was fun," the energetic forward said. "I didn't think I was going to play. It was the first time back. I'm trying to find my way."
He said he was disappointed about getting a quick foul upon entering, missing a defensive rotation and failing to come up with a blocked shot on Pistons guard Will Bynum, slapping himself in the head so hard at one point that he required postgame treatment from trainer Jay Sabol.
"Overall," he said, "I give myself a B-minus, C-plus. I'm just trying to teach myself to do everything hard."
On Friday, the Miami Herald reported that the Heat said Beasley also took an elbow to the head from one of the Pistons, and ESPN.com reported additional details.
Beasley said Friday he did hit himself as he ran back down the court during the third quarter of the win. But Beasley, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and team officials said the wound above Beasley's right eye was the result of an inadvertent blow he took from Pistons forward Jonas Jerebko as he attempted to block a shot in the third quarter, not from a self-inflicted punch.
"I watched the video, and it does look like I knocked the mess out of myself," Beasley said before Friday's preseason game against the Charlotte Bobcats at the Sprint Center. "I had everybody in the world calling me and asking, 'Why you so crazy?'"
Beasley was released by the Suns this offseason following an August arrest on marijuana charges.
This isn't the first time Beasley has suffered an unusual injury during a game. Back in 2012, cameras caught Beasley reacting to a gruesome finger injury while on the sideline during the fourth quarter of a game between the Timberwolves and Mavericks.
meh, everything good he does is gravy for the Heat... if its bad they cut him ..... win-win
B your not easy
New nickname for Beas -- Fight Club !
Wasn't much in terms of punches.
Mental health is not one of his job requirements
The Beas is back!
hmm ..punching oneself in the head .. yea, we've got it, brain dead, literally .. you just cannot fix STUPID
@Really.. I'm not expected you to understand this but some people have psychological problems. I have a family member that is truly gifted and is highly successful at this point in his life but when growing up he would injure himself in similar fashion. He would punch himself or stab himself with pencils whenever he made mistakes. Through years of counseling he's not the same now but I'm not sure Beasley was afforded that opportunity growing up.
@danboz11 @Really.. Hi danboz11 .. didn't mean to offend you or anyone else, sorry if I did .. as you said, when your family member was growing up he/she went through extensive counselling I'm sure, congratulations to them .. in this case here beas is a grown-up young adult who can fully afford and has access to a full compliment services needed to help himself ..

With the decriminalization of under an ounce of marijuana one would expect to see an increase in the number of OUI drugs cases charged in Massachusetts. Right? After all, now everybody in Massachusetts thinks smoking marijuana is legal. The restrictions on person use are scant at best. You can smell burnt marijuana on most city streets during the daytime daily. You now see people smoking weed in public everywhere. Do you ever wonder how these folks are getting around? I suspect many of them are driving but you know what? I am not seeing an increase in the number of OUI drug-marijuana cases coming into my office. I think I know the reason why.
Will Massachusetts See Smartphone Apps for Drunk Driving?
Imagine this. You get pulled over for drunk driving or OUI in Massachusetts. You have been drinking. You want to know what to do. So you pull out your smartphone and pull up your favorite operating while impaired app. You go through the checklist. Should I take the breathalyzer test? Should I take the field sobriety tests? Should I talk to the police at all? Then you access that portion of the app that calculates blood alcohol. Finally, you get a list of lawyers' telephone numbers on the app and shoot them a text or have your passenger make the call. Is this a fantasy or is there actually a real app out there that does these things? Just yesterday I read an article on cnn.com that talked about such an app that was developed by lawyers in Iowa. My thought is that a similar product for Massachusetts or perhaps all fifty states is just around the corner. This post discusses the pros and cons of such an app and how it might be best used. Continue reading →
How To Defend An OUI Second When You Know The Cop Is Lying
Just the other day I got a call from someone looking for an OUI lawyer. The man was extremely upset. He told me that the night before he was arrested for a second offense drunk driving. I asked him what happened and he proceeded to recite a sequence of events that was shocking yet not entirely out of the ordinary. It involved a police officer who has a blatant disregard for justice and for the truth. This post discusses his story, why this happened and ways that this case can be defended. Continue reading →
The Boilerplate OUI Police Report; A Criminal Defense Lawyer's Dream
Time and time again I have commented that at least in Massachusetts the OUI police reports that I read are essentially boilerplate. From officer to officer, report to report, I can recite by memory, almost verbatim the content of those documents. I have always maintained that if criminal defense lawyers collaborate a database can be established where lawyers can access the reports of individual officers to show a pattern of repetition that demonstrates a lack of sincerity on their part. Police officers tend to be lazy in their report writing. The reports are prepared at the end of their shift. The officers don't like doing this. They are tired and they want to go home. So what do they do? They take shortcuts. They cut and paste or reiterate the substance of other reports. They do not take the time to carefully draft reports relating to your case. This post shows what I mean by boilerplate police reports. Let me know if this sounds familiar to you? If you were arrested for OUI there is a good chance this is what your report looked like.
How an OUI Lawyer Fights Inaccurate Breathalyzer Results in Massachusetts
Many people don't realize that breathalyzer test readings are not necessarily accurate. A breathalyzer is a machine. Machines have flaws. But before those flaws can be shared with a judge or a jury the OUI defense lawyer you hire needs to know how these machines work. If he or she does not know then how can the flaws in the process be explained to a jury. Think about it. Jurors are just normal people. Some work. Some do not. They come from all different backgrounds. Some are educated while others are not. If the primary issue in the DUI trial is to challenge the accuracy of the breathalyzer reading then your lawyer better be able to do this in a way that gives the jury pause before accepting the police officer's recitation of his reading of the machine. It is also important to keep in mind that there are several types of breathalyzer machines in use. Your lawyer must know how each one works if you are going to be properly defended. This post briefly examines one of these machines, the Intoxilyzer, how it works and facts about false readings.
Winning OUI Cases in Massachusetts is Easier When You Have Good Witnesses
Any lawyer will tell you that having good witnesses on your side can make the difference between winning and losing a trial. This is particularly true in the case of the OUI trial in Massachusetts. If the case is triable, and I have good witnesses I often get a pretty good sense that I am going to win the case. The reason for that is simple. Cops are usually not good witnesses in OUI cases. They are stiff and unlikable. They are usually relatively young as the more experienced police officers are more likely going to be in a more specialized unit and not on routine patrol. On the other hand, a good witness for the defense will simply answer the questions. No agenda here. Just good, honest testimony that will often result in an acquittal for the defendant.
How to Win a Massachusetts OUI Case…Show How Field Sobriety Tests Are Dirty Tricks
True field sobriety tests are commonly referred to as divided attention tests. Their purpose is to see whether or not you can pay attention to some very basic rules while performing a simple physical task. If you have no physical limitations the tests assume that you can follow the directions and complete the test. If you are impaired the test will not be so easy to complete satisfactorily. True field sobriety tests are standardized and explained later in this post. However over the last twenty or so years Massachusetts police officer have become somewhat tricky in terms of how they administer field sobriety tests. They administer tests that are unreasonable and not approved by professional authorities. These tests are often developed by creative police officers who have no regard for proper "objective" procedures. In Massachusetts an experienced OUI defense lawyer will exploit the officer's unfair actions. He will show the jury that the police officer's conduct is unjust. The result is often an acquittal.
I Just Got Arrested For An OUI In Massachusetts. How Much is This Going to Cost Me?
I get this question several times each week. Someone gets arrested for drunk driving in Massachusetts. This is their first OUI and usually their first time having to go to court. After the initial shock and embarrassment wears off they start thinking about defending the case and ultimately how much the case is going to cost them. In order for me to properly answer that question I have to go through several scenarios with them to make sure they understand how the process works and what they are facing. There are however some short answers I can give them right away. Here they are along with the questions.
Why Some Say That Are OUI Drug Charges in Massachusetts Can Rarely Be Proven Beyond a Reasonable Double
OUI drugs in Massachusetts is a crime not often prosecuted. Police officers will make a stop of a vehicle based on their observations of operation or a report or erratic driving. Just after making the stop the officer will contact the operator. They usually ask for a license and registration and make some comment about the reason for the stop. During this initial encounter the officer makes observations about the driver. He looks for signs of intoxication. Alcohol intoxication. The typical patrol officer is trained to look for objective manifestations of impairment, unsteadiness of one's feet, slurred speech, the inability to respond to simple commands and of course the odor of alcohol. Few are trained to look for indicia of drug impairment. This is why you rarely see OUI drug cases being charged in Massachusetts. When you do they usually cannot be proved.
Will Cheek Swabs Be Used in Massachusetts to Detect OUI Alcohol and Drugs?
Just prior to the New Years weekend I saw a rash of articles talking about how DUI checkpoints in southern California were being set up not only with breathalyzer test machines but also cheek swab tests. Much of this is law enforcement's response to the decriminalization and legalization of marijuana throughout the country. So I imagine that it is only a matter of time before the Massachusetts legislature approves similar tests. So what exactly are cheek swab tests and how do they work? These are portable machines that through your saliva can determine whether or not you have ingested alcohol or other drugs at some "recent" time. The inside of your cheek is swabbed. Then the swab is checked for the presence of listed substances including alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy and certain prescription drugs. A positive test will likely result in an arrest and charge for OUI liquor or drugs depending on the test result.

It was an important match for both nations as they prepare to take on Australia and China respectively on September 2, in the Asian Zone World Cup Qualifiers.
Singapore started the brighter of the two with Captain Shahril Ishak, Qiu Li and Shaiful Esah linking up play down the left on numerous occasions.
It took the Lions until the 11th minute to seemingly find a loophole in the Thai defence, when Qiu Li found an unmarked Shahril down the left flank only to see his delivery cleared by the Thai backline.
As the half wore on, the Thais started coming into the game with captain Datsakorn Thonglao and Surat Sukha stringing the passes in the middle of the park.
The Thais had a good opportunity with 24 minutes on the clock when Datsakorn looked up and sent a cheeky lob that seemed destined for the top left corner until Izwan Mahbud leapt into the air and claimed it with authority.
Two minutes later, the Thais put together their best move of the game when Apipoo Suntornpanavej dinked a long ball into the path of Sompong Soleb down the right who sent a teasing grounder into the box, only to see an oncoming Surat blaze the ball over the bar.
The second half started with both sides making a string of substitutions with Shahdan Sulaiman, Shukor Zailan and Lionel Lewis coming on for Qiu Li, Mustafic Fahrudin and Izwan Mahbud respectively.
Coach Avramovic was left fuming when a dubious offside call by the linesman left Shahril Ishak seething, after Shi Jia Yi played a brilliant ball to put Aleksandar Duric through before he squared it to an unmarked Shahril who drilled it into the net with much aplomb.
On 70 minutes, the newest member of the squad, Hafiz Rahim came on for Jia Yi and immediately showcased his fine dribbling skills on numerous occasions to trouble Thai backline which had to give away two yellow cards for late tackles on the nippy Geylang United winger.
As the match moved towards the final ten minutes, the partisan crowd at the Rajamangala National Stadium were treated to some exciting end-to-end stuff as Isa Halim and Ruzaini Zainal played a neat one-two before releasing Hafiz who sent a thunderbolt towards goal, only to see the Thai goalie, Sintaweechai Hathairattanakool palm the ball away for a corner-kick.
Lionel Lewis who managed to go through the entire second-half with no complications on his recent groin injury was called into action when he made two wonderful saves to deny the home side a last gasp winner.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, coach Avramovic said: "This is not the first time Thailand and Singapore played each other and both countries know each other well. I believe that this game is important for both of us as we prepare for the China game while the Thais will play Australia in the World Cup Qualifiers.
"It was an exciting and competitive game where both teams had chances. In the first half, we had more opportunities but they had chances in the second-half as well.
"It will be a difficult game against China as they have some quality players but we will go to Kunming and do our best and play our own game."
Stopper Lionel Lewis also stepped in to assess his groin injury when he exclaimed: "I would first like to thank coach for giving me a good 45 minutes to play and test myself. I feel that I'm still not 100% but I'm getting there.
"I didn't attempt to take any goal-kicks as we decided not to take the risk with a couple more days before the China game. As for the two saves towards the end of the game, it was part and parcel of the game and I definitely will continue to work towards full fitness when we reach Kunming."
Hafiz Rahim, whose second-half appearance was his first-ever international match was equally delighted to be given a run-out by coach Avramovic when he said: "I wasn't nervous when my name was called up to prepare to get on the pitch.
"I just wanted to go out there and do what I can and test myself against the Thai defenders. It was great to be given an opportunity to represent Singapore."
The Lions will now move on to the next phase of their trip for the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qualifier against China PR when they travel up to Kunming on 26 September to continue with their preparations.

"I think it's pretty unreal what I'm living right now," Netter said to PurpleWildcats. "First of all, to be playing for my hometown team, who I rooted for during my whole upbringing, then to make to the Super Bowl in my rookie season, I don't think it gets much better than that."
After going undrafted, the former four-year starter at Northwestern waited for the call from an NFL team. It came from a local area code.
Netter signed with the 49ers as a member of their practice squad. The tackle joined an elite offensive line—a unit which produced two Pro Bowl players and blocked for the league's top rushing attack. In his role, Netter must learn head coach Jim Harbaugh's complex offensive schemes as if he's a starter.
Along the way, Netter has dressed for each of the 49ers' games—being a part of their 13-4-1 record. The team's success has benefited his growth as a player.
"We've had a really, really good season," said Netter. "It has been great to be a part of a team with so many great players and so many great leaders. I've been learning from the best. It has been a great learning experience for me."
The task for Netter is nothing easy. Coach Harbaugh's offensive system incorporates countless formations and personnel packages. The playbook only grew larger when quarterback Alex Smith was replaced by Colin Kaepernick, welcoming in a different look on offense.
"It's very complex," Netter said of the system. "It takes a lot of that weight on our quarterback. I think our quarterbacks do a really good job orchestrating at the line of scrimmage, reading things as the games go on, where we're able to be so successful with our play calling."
Inside the 49ers' locker room, a strong chemistry has been forged. That stems from Harbaugh, the methodical coach who knows when to be serious and to goof around.
"Coach Harbaugh, he's a great coach, and he's very, very intelligent," Netter said. "Everybody has a ton of respect for the guy. He's the kind of coach that you want to play hard for. He's going to demand a lot out of you, but I think he gets a lot out of his players. I love working for him."
After eight years of missing the postseason, Harbaugh has led the 49ers to a postseason berth in each of his first two seasons. This time, they reached the Super Bowl.
Netter and his teammates arrived in New Orleans on Sunday night. Practices, press conferences, and various events have taken up most of the schedule. In the little time Netter has enjoyed to himself, there are fans all over town waiting for autographs and pictures. Netter is soaking up the atmosphere around town.
"It's pretty crazy," Netter said. "Everything I've ever heard about the Super Bowl, it's all that and more."
For any football player, it's a fantasy to reach the NFL, to represent your favorite team, and to be in the Super Bowl. Al Netter is experiencing that dream.
"I think it will really sink in that I'm in the Super Bowl when I run onto the field and warm up," he said. "It's going to be crazy."

HARRISONBURG, Va., Nov. 2, 2012 – The James Madison swimming and diving team continues dual-meet competition this weekend when it travels to Newark, Del., for the Colonial Athletic Association Pod Meet hosted by the University of Delaware at the Carpenter Sports Building. The two-day meet starts Saturday, Nov. 3 and runs through Sunday, Nov. 4.
Joining JMU and Delaware in Newark are UNCW and William & Mary.
"We are happy to know that the University of Delaware is in a position to host the CAA Pod Meet this weekend," head coach Samantha Smith said. "Many of our CAA athletes and CAA families are from the northeast region of the United States and our thoughts are with everyone who endured Hurricane Sandy. This will be our only in-season competition with CAA teams so we are looking forward to racing and diving against some very talented teams in the conference. I anticipate a lot of energy on the pool deck between all four programs. This will be our last opportunity to compete before our mid-season invitational. We want to create momentum as we head toward the Pittsburgh Invitational and the Nike Cup."
JMU comes into the CAA Pod meet with a 2-2 record in dual meets after battling Villanova and West Virginia to a pair of tight losses last weekend. The Dukes fell to the Mountaineers 163-137 and to the Wildcats 159.50-139.50. Earlier this season, Madison picked up dual-meet wins over Rider (221-67) and UMBC (175-124).
For their performances last week at Villanova, senior diver Kimberly Helfrich (Fort Belvoir, Va./West Springfield) and sophomore swimmer Sin Hye Won (Springfield, Va./West Springfield) swept the weekly CAA honors. Helfrich was named the CAA Diver of the Week for the second time this year while Won claimed her first CAA Swimmer of the Week title.
Helfrich won both the 1-meter and 3-meter events in Philadelphia making her a perfect 4-0 in dual-meet competition thus far this season. She was the only diver to break 300 points in either diving event, scoring a 305.35 in the one-meter event and a 320.10 on the three-meter board.
Won turned in three top-five finishes in the meet, including winning the 100-yard breaststroke (1:04.61). She was second in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:21.76) and took fifth in the 200-yard individual medley (2:10.12).
In Smith's tenure as the head coach of JMU swimming and diving, the Dukes are 13-2 in the CAA Pod Meet, including an 8-0 mark over the past two seasons. Their only losses came to William & Mary in 2008 and 2009.

Montessori Preparatory School Reviews
This school not worth you money!
Kindergarten class is too big. The teachers were not able to address every child's needs; therefore many kids were not prepared for the first grade and the news that your child is not ready for the first grade the parents learn just before the graduation date. I send my child to the first grade to Pride Elementary were they just confirm that he is not on the level were he supposed to be. We have another student from Montessori Prep in my son's class with the same problem. In my opinion, kindergarten in a public school will prepare your child much better to the first grade then Montessori Prep due to much smaller class and common core activities that address requirements and child ability.

401 Broadway, Nashville, TN | Directions 3720336.160767 -86.777208
Monday To Thursday From 11:00 AM To 11:00 PM Friday To Saturday From 11:00 AM To 12:00 AM Sunday From 04:00 PM To 09:00 PM
History – This was the first place I took my future wife for dinner. 1990. The upstairs was historic and full of personality. It was magical. We came to the downstairs many times after that. The old building and good food were wonderful. Some years later, around 2003, we came back with, now including our daughter........to find the upstairs all mauve colored and the menu rather snooty. Disappointed. Food was average at best. But the downstairs remained great until a couple years ago when some group of obviously gay men bought it, painted white over all the old historic wood and turned the menu into some buffalo wild wings p.o.s. that's 1 page finger food and 6 pages of drinks. Disgusting to see such an historic place fall to such a low.
Best fine dining in downtown. – I have eaten on the bar level (1st floor) and it was really good. The drink mixers are amongst the best in Nashville (same owners as Patterson House??)....but most recently I went up to the fine dining floor and it was simply amazing. The BEST steak in Nashville, according to my husband and I had the shrimp & grits. I think its the best grits I've ever had. Merchants is a must in Nashville.
P.S. read some of the bad reviews..they're hilarious! Some sad little people out there.
Needs a Name Change – I worked downtown for years until about 4 years ago and loved going to Merchants especially for the Salmon BLT and always in the past had such a great experience each time I went. Decided to go back and was looking forward too that same great meal. Paid 5.00 too park and then walked into the NEW Merchants...wow who remolded this place? Must have gotten a deal on White paint and ruined the classy look the building had. Ordered the Salmon BLT and it was a shell of what it used too be, everything was different about it even the fries. Horrible meal for 15.00 but I did get some garlic popcorn...classy touch! I will say the service was good but please don't try too pull off the same menu of old, just start selling hamburgers, hotdogs, milkshakes and maybe some nachos with that gooey yellow cheese substitute and that would be more appropriate for the New Merchants. At least you don't have to rely on return business in the downtown area.
Excellent Service – Everything about Merchants is special to me. I love the art, food, drink and service. What more could you want! There is a special blend of warmth and hospitality that greets you at the door and continues during the meal.
Bad dessert experience-$12 – We ordered Blueberry crumble with/buttermilk ice-cream and carmel drizzle.
What we got: Hot blueberry soup, about a 1/4 cup of mushy, almost completely melted icecream, and a a teaspoon of crumble.
Dear God.
How can you mess up a Blueberry crumble and charge $12 for it?
Great decor, uniforms, and service, however. Really notably fashionable staff, and a beautiful decor.
But you have to want to EAT there.
Wow... sounds like some mindless goldberg droids... – Sounds like 99.9% of these reviews are written by the Golden berg boy's buds. Nothing about these reviews says authentic... especially the positive ones.
Do not miss – After the renovation, this restaurant goes to the top of the list in Nashville, The Bistro atmosphere on the first floor has a menu that is priced right and has many exciting items. The second floor has a elegant menu and great selections. The second floor is for a romantic evening as well as for business lunches. The new owners have gone out of their way make make each customer welcomed and appreciated. A great addition to downtown Nashville. Just wonderful.....
merchants restaurant – I am a vegan and i had to deal with incompitant people fromthe get go. it's always the same, no matter where you go. but, the fact that i had to talk to the manager at the beginning and still my meal came out with cheese, shows alot of lack of communication. i told the server, he told the chef; he told the manager... so on.-
my only deal is i am a server, i want this to go through... merchants has recently been taken over, and by taken over, i mean... TAKEN INTO A BUTCHER SHOP!! THESE NEW OWNERS SUCK SUCK SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my little sister worked therer for a bit, she got bossed and abused so bad. they tried to make every old emplee quit when those stupid brothers took over the restaurant... my little sis stuck it out for months, but these freaks ruinred her life. not even just physically...they have brought real life prosi's in... so if you wanna enjoy an afternoon.... go ahead, but be willing to pay a pretty penny... littrerally. those people have no shame. they make me sick
Very - Very - Good – Awesome, we dined upstairs on 7/31/2010. The waiter said they had recently completed renovation, and welcomed us to the newly finished dining area. The staff was most attentive, helpful and answered our questions. As an appetizer we shared an order of Ratatouille Crostini, they were "out of this world". Salads were crisp fresh and lightly dressed. I ordered the Beef Short Ribs with puréed potatoes and creamed spinach it was "simply wonderful". My companion had the Filet Mignon which was melt in your mouth. A sampling of a new fish appetizer was provide and enjoyed by both of us. I would highly recommend this once it's on the menu. We also enjoyed several of their house Martini's made with Plymouth Gin, Dry Vermouth and Orange bitters. We will be going back.
Good Dining Experience – The food was very good, reasonably priced. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Wanting to know if everything was good and if we needed anything else. I got the tuna sandwich--large piece of tuna and fries. Husband got fish tacos..enjoyed.
Would definitely eat there again.....

Here, the inspectors like to see a 4/10 hp pump dumping into a 4" line.
3" could maybe work, but a 2" is going to have issues. Once you go from pumped to gravity, things start to slow down.
Is there a way to intercept a larger line outside the foundation? Normnally you would find a 4" at some point. Or at least bring the pumped 2" to that 4" line.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The 16-person panel has been selected to hear the case against Michael Dunn.
Ten women and six men were selected shortly before 5:30 Wednesday afternoon. Twelve will serve as the official jury and four are alternates. A judge ruled the jury will be sequestered for the duration of the proceedings.
State Attorney Angela Corey asked a pool of 62 potential jurors about how they feel about firearms and gun ownership. Six of the 62 have concealed weapons permits.She also asked whether the race and age of victims would influence the jurors' decisions. They all said no.Dunn, 47, is a white man accused of shooting a black teenager. Jordan Davis was 17-years-old when he was killed outside a Southside gas station in November 2012. Prosecutors say the two argued over loud music coming from the SUV Davis and three of his friends were riding in.Dunn is accused of firing several shots into that SUV, then leaving the scene. Dunn said he fired his weapon in self-defense and didn't realize he had hit anyone.Davis was the only teenager shot. Dunn is charged with his murder and the attempted murder of the other three teenagers.Dunn is wearing a black suit and appears to be in good spirits. He seems to be engaged in jury selection, listening carefully to questions and answers.

Favorite DHC productsI like that DHC promotes healthy and mindful living.
Deep Cleansing Oil completely dissolves the dirt and makeup on my face. It is one of my favorite beauty products and has been part of my skincare routine for years. I know that many other beauty brands use olive oil in their products, but DHC just nailed it with this one. And a little goes a long way!
Mild Soap and Olive Virgin Oil are also part of my routine.
Because of law school, my stress levels are higher than ever: I've been noticing dark circles and puffy eyes due to lack of sleep. I rely on Concentrated Eye Cream to help me look more awake and refreshed than I generally am.
This fresh-faced law student from Southern California turned our heads when we discovered her passion: justice for all. Her volunteer experience at a shelter for victims of human trafficking influenced her decision to go to law school—and inspired us to get to know her better.
Life turning point
I was working in Taiwan at a shelter for victims of human trafficking and labor exploitation. I met so many people who wanted nothing more than to make a decent wage and who instead were abused and exploited by traffickers and employers who had no respect for human dignity and whose only concern was profit maximization. I will never forget the incredibly strong and resilient people I had the great fortune of becoming friends with.
Using the law to fight inequality
In Taiwan, I met many migrant laborers who were exploited and abused because they did not know their legal rights and had no access to the legal system or lawyers who would advocate on their behalf. Becoming a lawyer would put me in a better position to address social and economic inequality.
Seeking international justice
I was lucky enough to travel to Cambodia to intern with an organization that monitors the UN-sponsored Khmer Rouge Tribunal. It was such an eye-opening experience getting to learn more about international criminal law.
Cuddly canine companion

What is your best skincare advice to others?
Wash your face twice a day and exfoliate at least once a week. Don't frown so much. Laugh. Wear sunscreen and cool shades so you don't squint so much when you're out in the sun. Also, exercise and be mindful of your diet.
Who is your beauty icon?
My mom. She always looks effortlessly beautiful to me.
