A defendant who is charged with a crime that is not punishable by death shall be admitted to bail or released on the defendant's own recognizance at any time before a guilty plea or verdict of guilt. In the discretion of the court, bail or release on the defendant's own recognizance may be allowed in the following cases:
(1) After the defendant pleads guilty or is found guilty and before sentencing.
(2) While an appeal is pending from a judgment of conviction, an order withholding judgment, or an order imposing sentence, except that a court shall not allow bail when the defendant has been sentenced to death or life imprisonment.
(3) Upon a charge of a violation of the terms of probation.
(4) Upon a finding of a violation of the conditions of release, subject to the provisions of Idaho Code § 19-2919.

A person arrested for an offense punishable by death may be admitted to bail in the exercise of discretion by any magistrate or district court authorized by law to set bail in accordance with the standard set forth in article I, section 6 of the Idaho Constitution.
(c) Factors to be considered. The determination of whether a defendant should be released upon the defendant's own recognizance or admitted to bail, and the determination of the amount and conditions of bail, if any, can be made after considering any of the following factors:
(1) Defendant's employment status and history, and financial condition.
(2) The nature and extent of defendant's family relationships.
(3) Defendant's past and present residences.
(4) Defendant's character and reputation.
(5) The persons who agree to assist the defendant in attending court at the proper time.
(6) The nature of the current charge and any mitigating or aggravating factors that may bear on the likelihood of conviction and the possible penalty.
(7) Defendant's prior criminal record, if any, and, if defendant has previously been released pending a trial or hearing, whether defendant appeared as required.
(8) Any facts indicating the possibility of violations of law if defendant is released without restrictions.
(9) Any other facts tending to indicate that defendant has strong ties to the community and is not likely to flee the jurisdiction.
(10) What reasonable restrictions, conditions and prohibitions should be placed upon defendant's activities, movements, associations and residences.Upon its own motion or upon a verified petition the court may from time to time re-evaluate the above factors and add to or modify the conditions of bail or revoke the defendant's admission to bail.
(d) Right to bail or release pending appeal. A defendant may be admitted to bail or released upon the defendant's own recognizance by the court in which the defendant was convicted pending an appeal upon considerationof the factors set forth in subsection (c) of this rule unless it appears that the appeal is frivolous or taken for delay. Application for admittance to bail or release upon the defendant's own recognizance may be made by the defendant to the appellate court upon a showing in the application that the court in which the defendant was convicted has refused to admit the defendant to bail or release the defendant on the defendant's own recognizance.
(e) Terms and prohibitions of bail or release.
(1) If a defendant is admitted to bail or released upon the defendant's own recognizance, the court making such determination may impose such reasonable terms, conditions and prohibitions as the court finds necessary in the exercise of its discretion.
(2) Whenever no contact is ordered pursuant to Idaho Code § 18-920, a no contact order shall be issued in accord with the standards set out in Criminal Rule 46.2.
(3) If one of the conditions of bail or release upon the defendant'sown recognizance is an area of restriction monitored by electronic or global positioning system tracking, then the court shall notify the defendant in writing at the time of the setting of bail or release that intentionally leaving the area of restriction, except for the purpose of obtaining emergency medical care, may be prosecuted as the crime of escape and subject the defendant to the penalties set forth in I.C. § 18-2505 or I.C. § 18-2506.
(4) The court may, as a condition of release, require an agreement to comply with other terms and conditions of release.
(f) Bail, form, conditions and place of deposit.
(1) Bail may be posted in the form of cash deposit, property bond, or a bail bond issued by a surety insurance company qualified by law to do business in the state of Idaho. The surety shall clearly identify on the bond the name and mailing address of the person designated to receive all notices. The court shall not require that bail be posted only in cash, nor shall the court specify differing amounts for bail depending upon whether it is posted in the form of cash deposit, a property bond, or a bail bond. A cash deposit shall consist of payment in the form of United States currency, money order, certified check or cashier's check. Cash deposit may also be made by personal check payable to the clerk of the court where the acceptance of the personal check has been approved by a magistrate judge or district judge, or by credit card or debit card in those counties where procedures for the acceptance of such payment have been approved by the administrative district judge.
(2) When issuing a warrant of attachment for contempt regarding the nonpayment of any sum ordered by the court, the court may endorse upon the warrant that upon payment of a specified sum of money, not exceeding the amount owing, the contempt will be purged, the defendant shall be released, and the defendant need not appear in court in the contempt proceeding.
(g) Property bonds.

The promissory note shall require the promissor pay to the county the amount of bail, should the defendant fail to appear as required by the court and all attorney fees and costs over and above the amount of bail should the property be sold to satisfy the bail.
(2) The person pledging the property shall provide the tax assessed value and any other documentation required by the court and must disclose, under oath, all liens and encumbrances.
(3) The court, in its discretion, shall determine if the amount of equity in the property is adequate to cover the amount of bail and any other costs associated with liquidating the property to satisfy the obligation to the court.
(4) For real property to qualify as adequate security it must be located within the State of Idaho and must have an equity value, after deducting the outstanding balance of any existing lien or encumbrance, in an amount not less than the principal amount of the bail set.
(5) If the court accepts the real property as security the property bond shall be promptly recorded in the county in which the property is situated prior to the release of the defendant. Evidence of such recording shall be provided to the court. All recording fees and costs shall be paid by the person posting the bond.
(6) The property bond and promissory note shall be on forms approved by the Supreme Court.
(h) Forfeiture and enforcement of bail bond.
(1) The court which has forfeited bail, upon a motion filed within one hundred eighty (180) days after an order of forfeiture, may direct that the forfeiture be set aside, in whole or in part, upon such conditions as the court may impose, if it appears that justice does not require the enforcement of the forfeiture. In ruling upon such a motion, the court shall consider all relevant factors, which may include but not be limited to the following:
(A) the willfulness of the defendant's violation of the obligation to appear;
(B) the participation of the person posting bail in locating and apprehending the defendant;
(C) the costs, inconvenience, and prejudice suffered by the state as a result of the defendant's violation of the obligation to appear;
(D) any intangible costs;
(E) the public's interest in insuring a defendant's appearance;
(F) any mitigating factors;
(G) whether the state exhibited any actual interest in regaining custody of the defendant through prompt efforts to extradite him;
(H) whether the bonding company has attempted to assist or persuade the defendant to expedite his return to Idaho by exercising his rights under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers, Idaho Code § 19-5001 et seq.; and
(I) the need to deter the defendant and others from future violations.
(2) If the court sets aside the forfeiture, in whole or in part, it may reinstate the bail, or the court may exonerate the bail, or the court may recommit the defendant to the custody of the sheriff and set new bail or may release the defendant on his or her own recognizance. The court shall, within five (5) business days, give written notice to the person posting the bail. If the bail consists of a surety bond, such notice shall be sent to the surety, or to the agent designated by the surety to receive such notice as reflected in the records of the Department of Insurance, and shall constitute notice to both the surety and the person posting the bond, if they are different persons.
(3) After the court enters the order forfeiting bail, the clerk must, within five (5) business days, mail a written notice of forfeiture to the last known address of the person posting. If the bail consists of a surety bond, such notice shall be sent to the surety, or to the agent designated by the surety to receive such notice as reflected in the records of the Department of Insurance, and shall constitute notice to both the surety and the person posting the bond, if they are different persons. If the defendant does not appear or is not brought before the court within one hundred eighty (180) days after the entry of the order forfeiting bail, the clerk, upon receiving payment of the forfeited bail, shall remit such forfeiture to the county auditor for distribution and apportionment as provided by I. C. § 19-4705.
(i) Revocation of bail.
(1) Upon a verified application alleging that the defendant has willfully violated conditions of the defendant's release on bail, other than failure to appear, the court may issue a bench warrant directing that the defendant be arrested and brought before the court for hearing, or the court may order the defendant to appear before the court at a time certain.
(2) Upon a bail revocation hearing, at which the defendant shall appear if the defendant can be found, if the court finds that there has been a willful breach of conditions of bail, and if the defendant is present before the court, it may revoke the bail and remand the bailed person to the custody of the sheriff, and may at any time thereafter reconsider the issue of bail and may set new bail and impose other or additional conditions of release.
(j) Re-admittance to bail. After the order of recommitment of a defendant the court may again determine the amount of bail and order that the defendant be admitted to bail in the sum determined and released upon such conditions and prohibitions as the court determines in its discretion.
(k) Exoneration of bail.
(1) If the defendant appears before the court where the charge is pending, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the order forfeiting bail, upon motion of the person posting bond, if the court has not set aside the forfeiture, the court shall rescind the order of forfeiture and shall exonerate the bond; provided, that in those cases where the defendant was not returned by the person posting bail to the sheriff of the county where the action is pending, the court may condition the exoneration of bail and the setting aside of the forfeiture on payment by the person posting bail of the actual and reasonable costs incurred by state or local authorities arising from the transport of the defendant to the jail facility of the county where the charges are pending. Such costs shall be determined by the court following filing within fourteen (14) days of the defendant's return, by either the prosecuting attorney or a representative of the state or local law enforcement entity, of documentation of the costs actually incurred. The request for costs and supporting documentation shall also be served upon the person posting bail, who may file an objection to the request within fourteen (14) days of the filing of the request for costs. Any amounts ordered under this rule shall be paid directly to the appropriate law enforcement agency or agencies.
(2) A defendant appears before the court when the defendant physically appears in the court where the charge is pending, or, while in the custody of the sheriff of the county in which the charge is pending, appears in such court by video or audio, or by other appearance authorized by the court.
(3) Where a property bond has been posted the order exonerating the bond shall release the lien.
(l) Increasing or reducing bail.
(1) The court before which a case is pending may, after a defendant has been admitted to bail, increase or reduce the amount of bail. Upon its own motion, or upon a verified petition for an increase in bail, the court shall order the defendant to appear for a hearing on the application. The court shall also notify the person posting the undertaking of the date and time of the hearing. If the defendant fails to appear at the hearing after being properly notified of the date and the time of said hearing, the court shall, absent evidence of sufficient excuse for his absence, immediately forfeit the bail and shall issue a bench warrant for arrest of the defendant.
(2) Upon application of the defendant, and timely notice to the prosecuting attorney and the person posting bail of said application, the court may reduce the existing bail, in its discretion. If the court finds good cause to reduce the bail of the defendant, the court may enter such an order and may continue the defendant on the original bail, with the court record properly reflecting the reduced amount of the bail obligation. The court shall give notice of such reduction to the person posting bail within five (5) business days of the entry of the order reducing bail.

Double-amputee reflects on living with limb loss
LA CROSSE, Wis. - The wail of sirens filled the streets as ambulances rushed to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing on Monday.
For several of the more than 170 runners and spectators injured, lost limbs mean their bodies will never be the same.
There are a handful of people in Boston who woke up this morning for the first time facing their new reality -- life as an amputee.
"It kind of brings me back to when I had my accident and thinking of all the challenges that I had in front of me, just the different path that their life is going to take them," said double-amputee Francis Manning.
Manning can't help but have flashbacks to the fateful day that changed his life decades ago.
When he was 18, both legs were mangled when he tried to jump on a moving train.
"I missed," said Manning.19777596
Now he devotes his life to helping others who've lost limbs by building prosthetics and mentoring fellow amputees.
He said the road ahead for those maimed by the Boston Marathon bombs is a rocky one.
"It's just a life-changing event," said Manning. "They're going to have to learn how to walk again if they're missing a limb."
"You're always thinking function. 'How do I get this person moving?'" said Bill Haviland, a physical therapist at Gundersen Lutheran.
One of the first steps for some amputees is recovering from phantom-limb syndrome -- feeling pain in a limb that isn't there anymore.
"All pain is perceived through the brain. So just because you remove a portion of the person doesn't mean that the area that was designated for that part of the brain isn't still there," said Haviland.
Manning said going through anger and depression are common, too, but determination is the key to moving forward.
"You have to come to the stage where you're accepting that this is who you are now -- you have a different path you're taking, a different journey -- and just be determined to do it," said Manning.
Haviland said prosthetics aren't for everyone. There are a lot of risks and work that go into wearing one. Plus, amputees typically can't get into prosthetics right away because their wounds have a lot of healing to do before they can be fit for one.
Manning spent a year in a wheelchair before his legs healed enough to make prosthetics a possibility.
April is Limb Loss Awareness Month. More than 2 million Americans are currently living with limb loss.

What I did
Cerro de los Siete Colores
Camino de los Colorados
Handicraft market of Purmamarca
Santa Rosa de Lima Church
We searched for hostels, but we met a guy who was building his own boutique hotel. His name was Sito, and he told us to stay in his almost ready hotel, in new and comfortable beds for a small amount.
So we told the guys and we left our backpacks on Mr. Sito's hotel.
As we all wanted to do different things we set a time and place for meeting: the ancient omb� (a millenary tree in Purmamarca).
I decided to spend all the rest of the day in that city so I had a sandwich in the main square of Tilcara, and then walked to the route (number 9) and hitch-hiked. I had to wait for about 20 minutes, but some girls from Tucuman brought me in their car to Purmamarca.
Charming! It was much quieter than the day before, as there was no party that day. I could have a better view of the town, and its Hill of Seven Colors and got amazed at the beauty of the town and even more at the beauty of the surrounding hills.
The famous Hill of Seven Colors has its name because of the many colors given by different minerals (red, green, white, purple) due to a complex geological history.
I had a walk around its handicraft market, in the main square. It's very interesting. They sell wool-made clothing, like sweaters, gloves and of course chullos (Andean hats with earflaps). There can also be found Andean musical instruments and cactus-made handicrafts. I visited the church too. It's small, simple and rustic, but very interesting, as every church in Quebrada de Humahuaca region. Its roof, furniture and the details are made of card�n wood.
When I met the guys again in front of the omb�, I went with them to the Colorados trail. It's a beautiful walk behind the Hill of Seven Colors between 2 red hills. You can climb the red back of the hill, it's not difficult, or you can keep on walking surrounding it, and ending in its purple part.
Some of the guys bought some handicrafts in the market while the other ate some local sweets with mate, and when it was getting dark, we went back to Tilcara.

It has an RCA out (for audio), USB (for power, PS3 or PC chat), and controller input (for 360 chat).
It has a standard 3.5mm input for headphones, so any headphone can be used, though if you want a non-Slyr or Astro mic, you may wanna have a female Y cable, like those Astro sells.
My assumption on hooking it up, basically just getting an RCA female to 3.5mm male to hook up to your own dolby processors. I don't have one, so I can't use the Mixer with my Mixamp (pointless, but it does allow me to use the Mixer's EQ to test out). For stereo gamers, you just plug in the console's RCA cables into the piggyback on the Slyr's Mixer cable. Not 100% sure how the piggyback cables work exactly. I did get sound by hooking up the PS3's composite cables directly to the piggybacks and leaving the male ends alone.

I agree, however the one thing that country music has given us "Whiskey for my men and beer for my corpses."
One name comes to mind. Billy Ray Cyrus

Be an organ donor, save lives!
I agree, jj. But, I'm a recent convert to the House of Country.
The radio in my office only gets the local country station, so my options are pretty limited. Yes, I do have AIM Triton with XM, but I'm much too lazy.
So here I sit for 10 hours a day listening to country. I must admit that I like about 75% of the songs. Further, I consider myself a Brad Paisley fan now (for a redneck, that fella can SHRED). I feel that many of their topics are trite and overplayed. Yes, you love America! So much so that you probably use American flags for curtains. We get it. Now gimme back my songs about swillin' whiskey and beatin' your wife. Thanks.
But more on topic, "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" by Trace Adkins blows. I'm embarassed for him every time I hear that song. Even the line "Slap yo Grandmaw" doesn't bail that song out.
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.
Country music is the devil. Except for Kris Kristofferson. I ain't saying he beat the devil, but he stole his song, and he drank his beer for nothing.
I admit to listening to a little country, but nothing recent. Well, aside from Shooter Jennings, who is a chip off the old block and is probably shunned by country radio because he's too "rock." Mostly it's Kris, Johnny, Willie, Waylon, and Hank (Senior, of course) for me.
That's my jacket!
Interesting. One of the things I don't like about modern country is that a lot of it seems to be trying to be more "rock". Only the slide guitar, twangy vocals, and subject matter differentiate a lot of country songs from rock songs. I'm not familiar with country music these days other than some of the names or the artists. I do enjoy a lot of the older stuff, prior to 1980, as that was music I heard a lot when I was young. Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard, Charley Pride, and a lot of the tunes you might find on one of those Time-Life classic country collections.Originally Posted by El Chuxter
I strongly agree with the first post and the above quote, though you'd have to add Johnny Cash to the above, and that was before the movie, I swear.Originally Posted by El Chuxter
Oddly enough, as much as I hate and despise Toby "Freedom Fry Eatin'" Keith, "Whiskey for My Men, Beer for My Horses" was okay (probably due to Willie's input), and I actually really liked "I Ain't As Good As I Once Was."
Edit: Of course going further back, I'm never going to dislike Patsy Cline.

Johnny Cash transcends mere humanity. Cows worship him, and iguanas advise him. When he got to Heaven, Jesus asked for his autograph.Originally Posted by Phantom-like Menace
I'd disagree that modern country is trying to be too "rock," at least what I've heard, and given what I consider rock. Most of it's trying to be too pop, or bad early 80s carp rock (think Christopher Cross, not The Cars). No matter what you call it, it sucks, though.
Patsy, Marty, etc--yeah, the old stuff's mostly good stuff. We may as well throw Loretta and Dolly in there, too. Anyone hear Loretta's Van Lear Rose? Sweet tapdancing 2-1B in a tutu, that was a great album.
That's my jacket!

Since I don't actually listen to country music much at all these days, I can't really say for sure, but I know I've heard a lot of songs that seem to be rock-like in terms of seeming a bit more loud, with harder drums and perhaps some more guitar distortion and such. All that I can think of at the moment for an example would be the chorus of that "Rodeo" song by Garth Brooks. Of course, that song is already several years old now.Originally Posted by El Chuxter
I've heard good things about it. Plus, Jack White worked on that album. I've not heard anything from it though.Originally Posted by El Chuxter

Banning lead in NY
Governor's press release, which seems to be a solid step in the right direction.
<<Law to Protect Waterfowl from Toxic Materials Contained in Fishing Devices
Governor George E. Pataki today signed into law a measure that will ban the sale of lead fish sinkers in New York State, helping to prevent waterbirds from being injured or killed from exposure to these potentially-toxic materials.
"The toxic effects of lead sinkers are a threat to waterfowl, especially loons, and these new restrictions will help protect birds and other wildlife," Governor Pataki said. "Fishing is a popular sport in all areas of New York and this law will promote responsible fishing through the use of non-toxic sinkers."
The law bans retail sales of lead fishing sinkers weighing one-half ounce or less. In addition, the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will be required to provide notice of this new ban in the annual State Fishing Guide.
Fishing sinkers are small devices anglers often attach to a fishing line to sink the line below the surface of the water. Lead sinkers that are lost or become detached from a fishing line, especially smaller split-shot types, are often mistaken for food or grit by waterbirds such as ducks, geese, swans, gulls and loons. Birds ingesting lead sinkers may become sick or die from lead poisoning, or may act strangely due to toxic effects of the shot, increasing their risk of death from exposure or predators.
For the past several years, DEC has notified anglers of the potential threat to waterfowl from the use of lead sinkers and the availability of non-lead alternatives.
Howard Cushing, president, New York State Conservation League, said, "Sportsmen and women strongly support this measure to prevent waterfowl and other wildlife from being accidently injured by lead sinkers. By banning lead sinkers at the point of sale, this will allow stakeholders to pick up and recycle any lead sinkers they find on shores without violating the law. We were pleased to work with the Audubon Society, the State Department of Environmental Conservation and other concerned groups on this issue and reach a consensus that addresses the problem of lead sinkers."
Bernard C. Melewski, acting executive director of the Adirondack Council said, "This new law is a triumph of cooperation between environmentalists, anglers and committed lawmakers, all of whom were needed to secure the Legislature's and Governor's approval for the lead sinker ban. Working together, we will have saved the lives of thousands of loons, herons, swans, geese and other water birds by the end of the decade, and thousands more as the generations pass. This small, well-timed change in the law will have a permanent, profoundly positive impact on the environment."
DEC Commissioner Crotty said, "Governor Pataki and the State Legislature have taken a critical step to protect waterfowl from dangers of lead sinkers. By using non-toxic sinkers, anglers of all ages will still be able to enjoy fishing in a manner that does not harm our environment."
Many of New York's neighboring states also banned the sale and/or use of lead sinkers, which is expected to limit the availability of these sinkers and promote production and sale of non-lead alternatives. >>

While the students are finishing up their semester projects, the admissions team has hit the road in search of the best students from around the world. At Illinois, we're proud of our diversity. We believe having a diverse student body leads to an interesting and balanced perspective in the classroom while creating a strong professional network for our students and alumni. This year's incoming class welcomed students from 17 countries around the world. In order to find the best international students, our admissions team has traveled the globe over the last semester. In September, Brian Precious and Ben Moreland traveled to Brazil to talk with students and alumni in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janerio. Later in October, Ben returned to Latin America to meet prospective students in Columbia and Mexico City. In November, Ben spent two weeks in Asia, visiting South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China and Hong Kong. The University of Illinois has many strong ties with Asia and Ben enjoyed the opportunity to meet with alumni and interview students interested in joining the Illinois MBA class of 2013. As Ben was winding down his Asian tour, Brian Precious and second-year MBA student Kyle Pietila traveled to Canada to talk with future Illini in Toronto and Montreal. It was our first recruiting trip to Canada in many years, but it won't be our last. Many students were impressed with our flexible curriculum, student-run business consultancy and overall reputation of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As I finish this blog, our Associate Dean, Stig Lanesskog is in Singapore meeting with more students interested in studying at Illinois. Whether you are an international or a domestic student, if you are looking for an MBA program that values diversity, there is no better time to apply to Illinois.stats511 Views 0 Comments additional actions Add Comment

In that thread, "Servant of the Lord" gave this excellent solution for displaying multiple players on a tile which I am going to use for the game.
However, as far as I know, all tile based RPGs have a restriction of 1 player/monster/object on each tile. Although I would like to be innovative and try new game designs, I am a little worried that no one is allowing multiple players to occupy the same tile.
1) Have you seen a tiled based RPG that allow multiple players on the same tile?
2) Do you see any major problem with this approach?
With regards to question 2, I suspect targeting a specific player with a range weapon in a tile with multiple players might cause some problem.

By Adam Armour/The Itawamba County Times
Capt. Ed Carroll is a long way from the rolling waves of the open seas that he's loved since he was a child.
Good thing he's brought a bit of it with him, then.
"I've decided to stay on land for a little while and try my hand at this," said the owner of Off the Hook Fresh Seafood Market, located across from the ICC campus in Fulton, which opened its doors last week. He made a sweeping gesture over a counter lined with rows of fresh fish, shrimp, scallops, lobster and crab. All of this food — save the lobster — was pulled from the waters off the coasts of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. It's about as fresh as it can get around these parts.
"We're bringing all of this back from the Gulf Coast," Carroll said.
Open Wednesday through Saturday each week, the market will be supplied with fresh fish Carroll purchases when he returns to his home in Orange Beach, Ala., for the first half of the week. While he's gone, the business will largely operate under the watchful eye of his eldest son, Trace.
Life at sea
Carroll has spent almost his entire life on the water. He's been fishing since he was a kid and captaining a boat since he was 18.
"I grew up on the Gulf Coast, and when you grow up on the Gulf Coast, fishing is what you do," Carroll said.
For more than 20 years, Carroll has been captaining private sports fishing boats — a job he claimed was just about perfectly suited for him. There's a certain freedom to the seemingly endless reach of the open water, where a man can see the earth stretching on until it appears to curve. It's about as far from an office job as a person can get. He loved it.
"There's nothing like being 150 miles off shore and seeing whales in the blue water," he said. "Or, looking up in the night and seeing a sky full of stars."
So, what pulled this lifelong sea dog away from his true love?
"It's basically what takes any man out of his element: A woman," he said with a curt laugh.
Dry docked
When Carroll met and subsequently fell for a girl from the small town of Fulton, Mississippi, his life changed quite drastically. He began splitting his time between the coast and Fulton. Some days, she'd drive down to see him; other days, he'd drive up to see her. Either way, it was a six-hour trip for someone.
Over the two-and-a-half years they did this, Carroll began hauling more and more fresh sea food from the coast. He said Fulton friends began requesting he bring some fish back with him … then even more. Soon, he was basically a local fresh seafood delivery man, save for the paycheck that usually comes attached to something like that.
"Before you know it, we were hauling 150 pound ice chests full of fish back with us," he said, shaking his head.
So, since he was bringing seafood back with him anyway, Carroll decided to try his hand at a fresh market. He spent several weeks renovating the old Coleman's BBQ building, which had been empty for years. Now, it looks much more like something the captain might call home: light blue and white paint on the walls, various maritime decorations scattered about and, of course, a counter packed full of fresh food straight from the sea.
When the business opened late last week, Carroll and his son were greeted by a steady flow of customers. He hopes its a sign of good fortune to come.
"It went well," Carroll said of his business' opening day. "Especially considering nobody knows we are here. Still, we had a steady stream of people. I'd say the response has been tremendous so far."
It's a good feeling, he said, to be welcomed to an area. Even though he's dozens of miles away from the open water he loves, Carroll said Fulton seems like a nice place to drop anchor for a while.
"I like being down here," he said. "Every now and again, I can hear the riverboats blow their horns and it makes me think of home."

Just wanted to discuss some things with people who have read the books without ruining it for anyone trying to avoid spoilers.
First off, some shocking news (to me at least); I've just heard that the Shelob's Lair sequence has been moved to ROTK, so it won't be the climax of TTT like I thought it would. At first I was a little disappointed, but the more I think about it the more comfortable I am with the idea.
Think about all the stuff that TTT has to cover: intros of Gollum, Eomer, Faramir, Theoden, Treebeard, Wormtongue and Eowyn; the Ents marching on Isenguard (which I've heard has been filmed but no one knows yet if it will be in the final cut); the Window on the West and Forbidden Pool scenes; Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli's hunt for Merry and Pippin; all this and a 50 minute battle at Helm's Deep. So I am pretty sure that PJ made the right decision with Shelob's Lair.
Now for some ideas about ROTK: How do you suppose PJ will handle the entire Scouring of the Shire plotline? Once Gollum dies with the Ring and the Hobbits head home, do you think the movie will immediately cut to Frodo and Bilbo's journey West with Gandalf and Elrond? Or will we see Saruman's destruction of the Shire out of spite, like in the book? I'm pretty sure we will see it in some respect, unless PJ plans to rewrite Saruman's death completely (remember he is stabbed by Wormtongue while in the Shire).
Well, that's all for now, if anyone is interested in joining the LOTR toy and movie discussion at www.lordoftheringsguide.com , I go by the name Son of Gloin in the forums there.
One last thing, for anyone wondering if the Oliphaunts would make it into the film, well here is a pic of a dead one (look at the size of that thing!):

Hard-earned miracles welcome 2013
Happy New Year for day-to-day living
For five years, our family has been awaiting the 2013 miracle.
In January, 2008 just after Christmas, my husband of more than two decades and the love of my life was diagnosed with brain cancer. It was a rare version of a rare version of lymphoma, a blood cancer. Our doctor at Carbone Cancer Center told Tom and me one gray February day, "Typically patients... do not live more than several months."
2008 would turn out to be our annus terribilis. After a punishing year of chemo that took away Tom's feeling in his feet and left him with debilitating and constant headaches, he recuperated at home. He had lost more than 50 pounds and all of his fast-growing cells, including the linings of his organs, such as his throat and gut, were raw from treatment. Doctors weren't sure he would live. I quit my high-paying job during the depths of the Recession and nursed Tom back to health over four years.
Doctors declared him in remission in August, 2008. There is some debate whether he will ever be declared cured. We are willing to take the label "no evidence of disease." We were told Tom and our family could earn this miraculous status by staying free from cancer until August, 2013. Thus the year of the miracle.
I've written a journal on caringbridge.org since diagnosis, building a community that calls itself The Bridge. It has helped me move ahead because it was a supportive virtual space where I could share the optimism and dread that go hand-in-hand with terminal cancer care. The Bridge has been rooting for us to make it until 2013, and now as we pass through that invisible time line at 12:01 a.m. New Year's Eve, I am preparing for the miracle of 2013 by re-reading my journal and all the generous comments from the life-sustaining Bridgers. I wanted to share some of it with you.
On Jan. 1, 2009 I wrote what The Bridge has told me was its favorite journal entry. It was written with intense anxiety in my heart and optimism burbling out of my brain. I didn't know how else to deal with my confirmed and at that moment somewhat irrational belief that Tom would not die. Now reading this 2009 exuberance, it almost sounds silly to me. But I want to always remember how that moment felt in the hope that those of you who face challenges as 2013 approaches know that you too can find joy and peace even if it's just for a few hours every day.
I was rankled in late 2008 that the faux and semi-hysterical happiness of cranked-up New Year's celebrations was getting in our way of surviving the daily test of brain cancer. I had to take it day-by-day during the year, no matter how new it was. I wrote:
"I used to live my life as if there were some invisible force field that I passed through at midnight Dec. 31. I felt reborn on 12:01 a.m. Jan. 1. Our cultural symbols involve a little baby in diapers and an old man with a long white beard. I was that baby reaching for yet another banner year, the next promotion, a bigger house, a better school for the kids, the smart retirement package, the grandchildren, the winter in Florida, whatever came next in the neat sequence of my life story. Why did I never think that I might be the old man rather than the baby?"
A date on a calendar will not automatically change our lives just as the New Year will not bring automatic good news. Hope, central to our cancer survival kit, is not candy coated or found in a glass of champagne. As I wrote in 2009:
"I am struggling mightily with a very different notion of hope this year. When random illness strikes a man whose life has been focused on helping others and who to my knowledge has not told a lie for 28 years, you do wonder who is in charge of keeping our DNA running smoothly and keeping cancer at bay. Why did Tom's genetic code break rank when so many others who eat too much or drink too much or make lots of money manipulating people get to keep their DNA and RNA from breaking and causing cancer? Why doesn't cancer follow the holiday schedule? Doesn't our cellular structure know that all the illness and suffering of last year ended at midnight?"
For many of us, there is no magical line that we cross at midnight Dec. 31. Time micromanages your life minute-by-minute when cancer or chronic illness visits. The 2013 Foleys will try to hang on to this as the year of miracles approaches.
Our hope for good days ahead rests with the fact that we have made it through the past four New Year's Eves. As I reflected on New Year's Day 2009:
"It is a good thing to stop and mark where we were a year ago. We have lost friends and family. We have lost jobs, unfulfilled dreams and a feeling of safety about the world.
"We have gained also. I am so proud of Team Foley and, of course, of Tom for fighting through the unfathomable diagnosis and life-altering treatments.
"'I might just make it,' Tom has been saying the past few days.
"It will be four more New Year's Eves before we know for sure that he has made it. And what that really means given our new outlook on life is questionable. Made it where? I'm not going to ask today. We are just going to embrace the hope in his qualified declaration: 'I might just make it.'
The 2009 Foleys faced many mundane challenges that we have overcome now. Tom had trouble getting up the stairs, eating, remembering, staying awake, sleeping through the night, overcoming nightmares, infections, rashes, etc. We also had very life-enhancing moments of gratitude. My journal chronicles one that very night in 2009:
"Tom said last night sitting on the bed and closing out the old year: 'Thank you for being so kind to me through all this.'
"His sweet sincerity and my own gratitude for his ability to still be my life partner prompted me to exuberantly cheer him on. I had my own Times Square moment of honking and screaming and blowing a horn: "You're going to make it. In fact, you are cancer-free right now!"
"I should have said quietly, "You are welcome. You are very welcome."
"The magic line between 2009 and 2008 means little to me today. I want to grab the hope that this cultural celebration has given me in years past. I know that the only real hope is much harder earned, knit into the day- to-day life of small pleasures and feelings of gratitude.
"We go back to work tomorrow. Tonight we get back to living day-by-day, savoring every joy and enduring every hardship with a hopeful attitude.
"Our lives are richer for it. 2008 was a good year. The first day of 2009 is a good day. Happy Day-by-Day to Team Foley! We look forward to talking to you tomorrow. "
You can read the full and somewhat rambling 2009 text at my blog or on caringbridge.org.
We plan to celebrate the New Year's coming at a quiet dinner with friends.
In our hearts, the older, wiser and healthier Foley household will be shouting from the rooftops:
"Happy Day-by-Day in this miraculous year of 2013!"
May all of us find those miracles and may every moment of every day of 2013 be sweet and profound for all of you who read this. We hope to talk to you tomorrow.

It's been a long time since I've added any news at this page for the last time. Too many things happened in the mean time. It's not even fair to try to explain everything :)
In august I left my job at Conectiva, to work in the USA, I even found a job there. But for many reasons (mostly bureaucracy) I won't be able to work in the USA :(
As a side note, I have started a little project, in Python - I am designing/developing a RPM specfile editor, having in mind problems like compatibility with manually written specfiles. Feel free to take a look at it, here.
Also, I certified a few friends that joined Advogato since the last time I was here.

People know that trash in the water:
Unfortunately, what we see dirtying beaches and floating on the ocean's surface is just the tip of the iceberg. Much more lies unseen beneath the surface and far away on the open water — but that doesn't make it any less important.
That's why Ocean Conservancy is taking bold action, working to stop the flow of trash at the source, before it has a chance to reach the water to choke and entangle dolphins or endanger sea turtles, or ruin our beaches and depress our local economies.
We need your help to keep millions of pounds of trash from our oceans - your everyday choices can help keep it clean.
Over the last 25 years, Ocean Conservancy has been bringing together passionate ocean lovers and helping them contribute to a vision for trash free seas.
Everyone can play a role in the movement for trash free seas. Ocean Conservancy is leading the way with practical, pragmatic solutions that:
Help us turn the tide on ocean trash and achieve the vision of a healthy, vibrant ocean free of trash.

USPS Now Says it Won't Cut Saturday Mail Delivery, Blames Congress

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: NBC Universal)
This move would have saved USPS about $2 billion annually
The United States Postal Service (USPS) was hoping to
axe Saturday mail deliveries
in an attempt to save money, but Congress isn't having it.
USPS announced today that the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service met yesterday to talk about the Continuing Resolution for government funding. However, Congress didn't approve the new national delivery schedule.
The new national delivery schedule consisted of package deliveries Monday through Saturday and mail deliveries Monday through Friday starting August 5, 2013.
"Although disappointed with this Congressional action, the Board will follow the law and has directed the Postal Service to delay implementation of its new delivery schedule until legislation is passed that provides the Postal Service with the authority to implement a financially appropriate and responsible delivery schedule," said USPS.
"The Board believes that Congress has left it with no choice but to delay this implementation at this time. The Board also wants to ensure that customers of the Postal Service are not unduly burdened by ongoing uncertainties and are able to adjust their business plans accordingly."
Back in February of this year, USPS announced its plan to cut Saturday mail delivery to only five days per week (eliminating Saturday). It said this would save USPS about $2 billion annually.
For fiscal 2012, USPS saw a net loss of $15.9 billion (three times the loss record one year previous).
USPS has been in a financial decline mainly because of digital mail options, such a electronic letters, bills, etc. This eliminates costs of stamps and shipping charges.
Technology is taking over, and the issue is that USPS can't keep up. In January, it was reported that
USPS wanted to be more digital-friendly
by working on a digital platform called MyPost, which will allow customers to log in and view all packages that they'll be receiving as well as those they've already received instead of searching several different sites that the packages may be coming from.
However, Paul Vogel, president of digital solutions at USPS, revealed that his office is like "a San Jose startup," with only 15 Android/Apple developers, consultants coming and going, one computer and his BlackBerry smartphone. Technological restrictions make upgrading hard to come by.

We shoot dogs with a Canon
If you're leaning toward a box and you have any thoughts that you'll get another pup in the near future, you'll save money by just getting a two hole now. I would recommend you get something that the holes themselves are stainless steel. Aluminum dust will stain your dog's coat. Painted aluminum will delay that problem, but eventually wears off and you get the same result.

Hi Miriam,
Since you are getting a pup, as others have said I would go for a 2 hole. Check out MTCK.com

It's one thing to leave your dog in a box overnight in a hotel lot full of dogs trailers and another off an interstate while hunting.

That's a good point! That's something I didn't think of. You know a person could go with two single boxes and just do storage separate. That would give me lots of options. Thanks for getting my brain working.

Miriam we haven't talked in a long while. When I had the topper for my truck it was too heavy for it. I am just now going to a three hole slide in for my new F150. Still pretty pricey but a good safe investment for the dogs. The two hole is much less and you would.get fans and water tank. Drawer system adds to cost and weight but the truck should handle it fine.

MIAMI A judge put on hold his ruling that President Barack Obama's sweeping healthcare law was unconstitutional pending appeal, allowing the White House to continue implementing the reforms aimed at lowering soaring healthcare costs.
But U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson ordered the administration to seek within the next week an expedited appellate review of his Jan. 31 ruling, which favored arguments by 26 states that requiring Americans to buy health insurance starting in 2014 or pay a penalty was unconstitutional.
The Obama administration previously has said it would appeal the Florida judge's ruling and continue implementing the law, which includes provisions allowing young adults to remain on their parents' healthcare insurance and prevents insurers from denying coverage for pre-existing medical conditions.
Vinson, who was appointed to the bench by Republican President Ronald Reagan, is alone in having ruled that the entire Affordable Care Act should be struck down.
In his order on Thursday, Vinson said the highly-politicized case is expected to eventually reach the Supreme Court.

Prolonged serious health conditions or life-limiting illnesses present unique challenges to both patients and their families. Effective palliative care can help you through a difficult treatment, assist you in navigating your choices for care and help you carry on with your daily life. Recent studies suggest that Palliative Care may prolong life expectancy. Orange Regional Medical Center's Palliative Care Program supports patients of all ages, and enlists a team of experts who are ready to help and support you with the resources you need to reach personal goals.
The Palliative Care Program at Orange Regional strives to provide the highest level of comfort and support. We treat every patient on a case-by-case basis - offering direction and aid with:
Patient Navigation is a one-on-one support service that provides expert guidance through your palliative care treatment. Patient Navigation services ensure your needs are met in a timely manner, your questions are answered and fears and anxiety are addressed with compassion.
We also work with family members to help them adjust to any potential lifestyle changes.
Whether that means guiding a loved one through difficult medical decisions, helping them support patients and each other or simply providing education on what to expect, we're here to offer our guidance and answer any questions.
The goal of Palliative Care is to give you more control over your care by better understanding your choices for treatment, to relieve suffering, and to provide the best possible quality of life for both the patient and their family.
Orange Regional's Palliative Care Program is under the leadership of Dr. Emma Fattakhov and supported by of our Palliative Care Patient Navigator Eileen Schmidt. Our program works in partnership with all hospital resources as well as with hospice organizations to help you address challenges associated with life-limiting illnesses or end of life diagnosis.

Q: Who is eligible for palliative care?
A: Patients of all ages who have been admitted to Orange Regional and who have a chronic illness or an end of life diagnosis.
Q: Where do I receive palliative care services?
A: Orange Regional's palliative care service is available for all patients who are admitted to the hospital. Through the service, we help you obtain the resources you need to manage your illness once you return to the comfort of your home.
Q: How do I start receiving palliative care?
A: Ask for a consultation! Start by talking to your doctor or nurse. Tell your family, friends and caregivers that you want palliative care. It is best introduced early in your care, and is provided at the same time as curative treatment. Ask your medical provider for a referral.
Q: What is the difference between palliative care and hospice care?
A: Hospice care is designed strictly for patients with terminal conditions with a life expectancy of less than 6 months. Palliative care supports you and your family in managing your illness even while you are receiving curative and pain management therapy. Discuss the benefits of palliative care based on your specific condition with your doctor.
Q: Is my pain managed with palliative care?
A: Yes. Palliative care is a comprehensive service that helps to provide pain management while meeting your emotional, mental and physical needs.

Q: Will my insurance cover the cost of palliative care?
A: Most insurance companies do cover the cost. We suggest that you always check with your insurance company first before obtaining palliative care services.
We are also proud to offer the STAR Program® (Survivorship, Training and Rehabilitation) to patients diagnosed with cancer. As part of our STAR Program, you will receive comprehensive, individualized cancer rehabilitation treatment, covered by most insurance plans, to improve the symptoms affecting your daily functioning and quality of life.
Orange Regional offers Complementary Therapies as a part of your recovery. Complementary Therapies aim to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms of an illness. Orange Regional Medical Center offers Reiki Therapy as a natural approach to healing and wellness and our Pet Therapy Program helps make a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of our patients.

The abdomen contains many vital organs: the stomach, the small intestine (jejunum and ileum), the large intestine (colon), the liver, the spleen, the gallbladder, the pancreas, the uterus, the fallopian tubes, the ovaries, the kidneys, the ureters, the bladder, and many blood vessels (arteries and veins).
The surgical exploration of the abdomen, also called an exploratory laparotomy, may be recommended when there is abdominal disease from an unknown cause (to diagnose), or trauma to the abdomen (gunshot or stab-wounds, or "blunt trauma").
Diseases that may be discovered by exploratory laparotomy include:
While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), the surgeon makes an incision into the abdomen and examines the abdominal organs. Different incisions are sometimes used depending on the circumstance. Common incisions include a vertical midline incision, and right or left upper or lower quadrant transverse incisions. Tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken and diseased areas can be evaluated. When the treatment is complete, the incision is closed with either sutures or skin staples.
The outcome from surgery varies with the disease process, as does the course and duration of recovery. Exploratory laparotomy is most commonly performed for trauma, severe abdominal pain of unknown cause, intestinal obstruction, inflammatory diseases like appendicitis and diverticulitis, and cancer of any of the abdominal organs.

text: I was looking over near the Katy Mills mall area (Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, etc...) nothing much the tru had some Imperial AT-ST & Speeder Bike but nothing much. Last week at the Wal-Mart I found a Mace Windu (Geonosian Rescue) when I looked today the rest were gone. I'm trying to find the Darth Vader (Bespin Duel) and the Luke Skywalker (Bespin Duel) and some of the Kmarts haven't had much I was hoping to find the Jango Fett doll they had in their ad this week but no luck. Hopefully when the movie comes out the toys will be easier to find. Also I know this isn't the place to ask but has anyone seen the 12" Spider-Man Collector Series dolls anywhere.

depending on whether I use "./SFGame.so" (I assume because my Code::Blocks project file and main.cpp are in "Engine/Code/Game/" and SFGame.so is in "Engine/BinLinux/") or "SFGame.so". I can use the full path from "complete(pfile).generic_string()", which gives the same dir in the error as "./SFGame.so". Any ideas on how I could fix this from failing EVERY time? I even tried linking Launcher to Engine.so in the compiler (GNU GCC (well, g++) within Code::Blocks), but no dice.

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
FULTON – Itawamba Community College students delved deeper on Thursday night into the nighttime sky they see every day.
The director of the Rainwater Observatory in French Camp led a 45-minute presentation about the constellation Orion, and the participants then spent about an hour looking through multiple telescopes set up on the college's Fulton campus.
"It is an opportunity for people to get outside in the evening and look up and see all of the things in our galaxy," said ICC instructor Bob Swanson. "The sky is something people take for granted. It is fascinating to truly understand how stars move the way they do."
The event was attended by students in Swanson's astronomy class, as well as those in physical science and college life classes and others. About 150 people attended the presentation by Edwin Faughn, Rainwater's director.
Faughn displayed photos of several images from powerful telescopes and spoke of the immensity of the night sky.
"We want to help bring an awareness of the beauty of the heavens and the vastness of the universe and also what people can see through their naked eye," Faughn said. "It is exciting to see people's reaction when they see Saturn's rings or Jupiter's moons for the first time."
ICC sophomore Paul Kirk of Aberdeen did see Jupiter in a telescope for the first time. In the image, the colorful bands around the planet were visible, as were moons near it.
"It was amazing," he said. "I didn't think we'd see Jupiter so big. It was great to see the actual planet and the moons and how big it was."

The Staff Leadership class of 2012-2013 completed their training on Wednesday, May 15th. Sondra Calvin, financial and coding specialist at WKUHS was a member of this class.
The Staff Leadership Institute was created to help meet the developmental needs of WKU and its staff. The program seeks to enhance job performance and personal development skills, as well as challenge the spirit of each individual." Through the staff leadership program, I was able to meet a lot of people from around campus that I would have otherwise never met. Throughout the course of 8 sessions, various topics were discussed including diversity, communication, dealing with negativity, dealing with difficult people, customer service skills and much more. Staff Leadership was a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone at WKU.

Seating Card (left)Purpose: To direct a guest to his or her assigned dining table.
What to write on it: The guest's first and last name (titles such as "Mr." and "Mrs." are optional) and the table number; for a couple, write just one card.
Where to put it: In alphabetical order (by last name) on a table near the reception entrance, where the guest can easily access it.
What else? A seating card is also called an "escort card."
Place Card (right)Purpose: To direct a guest to a seat at his or her assigned table.
What to write on it: The guest's first and last name; at a very informal wedding, you can get away with just first names.
Where to put it: At the guest's place setting. If the card isn't tented or placed in a holder, position it on top of the napkin or dish, where it will be visible.
What else? To help everyone get to know one another, write the guest's name on the back of the card, too, so his or her table mates can read it.

Measures to Avoid Disturbing Nesting Bald Eagles During Recreational Activities
None of these activities will disturb eagles if conducted during the non-nesting season. In the upper Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin) the nesting season is generally from late January through late July. The following measures only pertain to the nesting season.
See the Bald Eagle Natural History and Sensitivity to Human Activity document for additional information.
Non-motorized recreation and human entry (including hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, canoeing)
Off-road vehicle use (including snowmobiles)
Motorized watercraft use (including jet skis/personal watercraft)
