A dangerous criminal is back in police custody after a miscommunication between two judicial commissioners in Wilson County meant he had a few days of freedom.
When Terrace Shaw went before a judicial commissioner in Lebanon on June 12, the commissioner had no idea how dangerous Shaw was, according to District Attorney General Tommy Thompson.
"She wasn't told what the detective told the initial commissioner. She wasn't told that this person is a dangerous person and needed a higher bail," said Thompson.
Shaw, who was on probation for invading the home of a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agent in 2011, stood before the commissioner for another home invasion in early June, including aggravated robbery.
The commissioner ordered Shaw released on a $2,000 bond.
According to a warrant, Shaw committed another crime at the Lebanon Plaza Inn just 10 days after being released. Police said Shaw robbed a man at gunpoint in his room. Shaw was identified by the victim in a photo line-up.
The Judicial Commissioner didn't do her homework when she set a low bail for Shaw, Thompson told Channel 4 News.
"It was a mistake made, it was a lack of diligence. It's absurd. She set the $2,000 bond, but once she set it, it was too late, because the guy was gone. I hope and pray that no one is hurt trying to arrest this guy who should never have been released," said Thompson.
Thompson said he spoke with the commissioner shortly after he was informed of the low bond for Shaw.
"I talked to the judicial commissioner who set the bond, of course she was sick to her stomach after she realized what she had done. But you can't un ring the bell," said Thompson.
Shaw was placed on the TBI's 10 most wanted list, and he was captured Wednesday by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, Lebanon Police Department and Metro Nashville Police Department.
He will be booked into the Wilson County Jail, the TBI said.

I think you are on to something, though it's not quite there yet.
I love the light painting on the grass. However, other than a thin slice in the background, you didn't really capture that creamy morning light from the vantage point you chose. The light in the middle and foreground seems a bit cold, and doesn't resonate as a warm glow.
Maybe try a new vantage point, with the sun behind you. Continue to capture that painterly light on the grass, and you will also happily discover that it will be painting the trees as well.
Maybe keep the sun in the background, as shown, but find a location less obscured by trees blocking the light. Or, just setup earlier as the Sun is lower in the sky.
Retain that warm, golden glow throughout the scene.

Sun pulls my eye up. Cropped just above the center tree my eye stay in the foreground at trees longer and I notice the mist / light under the trees more.
Other than that it works for me. Makes me ponder what's over that hill hidden in the morning mist

Thanks for the help. On a landscape isn't the whole scene the subject, or does it need something central to the whole image ?

You have a lovely scene here, but there's nothing to which your eye is drawn. To use a music metaphor, it's a pretty melody that lacks dynamics and a resolution.
Personally, I like your photograph but I can see Karen's point. That opening between the trees would be a good place from something to draw the eye - someone walking along the shore, waterfowl flying low, etc.
There's lots of goodness in the image. The lighting is lovely. Even some selective dodging and burning of the existing image might make it stronger.

I agree that this image would be stronger if it had a subject. Perhaps a girl on a blanket reading a book or a small boat on the stream? You could also enhance the sun beams if you are not against keeping the image true as shot. Here is my enhancements:

I've been watching the landscape images at this site for some time, and many of the ones don't seem to have any central subject. I don't want to put samples here, but I saw a few new ones just yesterday.
So I'm still a bit of a loss as what constitutes a land or seascape.
I hardily agree that a subject definately makes a better image, but land and seascapes seem to be a tad different.
I'm not trying to play devils advocate, just trying to understand a little better, since this happens to a lot of my land and seascapes as far as subject goes.

I don't normally advocate cross posting, but I suggest you post the photo in the Landscape forum to get a different viewpoint. If I want to get inspired by landscape photos by others, I would more likely visit the Landscape forum at FM than the Photo Critique forum.
If I really want to get inspired, I look at works by Brett Weston, Wynn Bullock, David Sexton, David Muench and other landsape photographers I like.

I'm no landscape master but here's my 2 cents.
- First, what you have here is not a "bad" image. It could look very nice printed big and hung on a wall at home. It could even be hanging on a wall in a nice hotel and nobody is going to think "man, who put that ugly thing in here!?" So if that is your bar/point of comparison/goal, then I think you probably made it.
- If, however, you want to look at your image as compared to the very best landscape photography out there (a tough goal; there is a lot), then that is where many little things start to accumulate in your image and prevent it from reaching that level. Here are a few of the things that I see, none of which is necessarily the kiss of death but when summed up begin to reduce the impact of the image:
* As has already been mentioned, you sort of set up a stage there on the middle left but there is nothing on it other than a rather distant view of the mist/fog.
* You give us a very slim view of the river/stream and since there is no other really dominant feature, I really want a better view of it. The straw bales or logs also have an implication of looking out onto the water but you don't let me do that.
* The sun through the trees is nice but a little high in the frame to be a nice focal point. IMO you don't always need to slavishly follow the rule-of-thirds but it's usually a good idea to ask yourself why you didn't.
* The dead branches in the foreground lead my eye out of the frame and again almost tease me that there is something off-frame that you are not letting me see. For the first several times I looked at your image, I thought those branches were the roots from a tree off to the right.
* That little splash of light/color in the bottom right has some nice elements but it just doesn't seem strong/big/well positioned enough in the composition to carry the image. Those dead tree branches kind of disturb it as well.
* I'm pretty certain that you had the camera straight but the non-level hill-line gives me the impression that the image is not straight, even when I consciously tell myself that it is. That impression ruins some of the "intent"/"purposefulness" that I expect to feel from a shot like this.
* The tree trunk on the far-left is cropped very thinly into the frame. I would like to see a more decisive crop to either include the trunk or leave it out.
Beyond those observations I can't help but think about a recommendation that Scott Kelby mentioned in a composition seminar he did. His recommendation was "don't be afraid to work the scene". It is the rare pro that just shows up, sees the magical, perfect shot/composition at first glance, snaps the shutter, and goes home. Most spend quite a bit of time exploring the scene with both their eyes and the camera, shooting high and low, experimenting with different in-camera framing, trying different exposures, etc.. Sometimes the best shot is the one they had in mind when they first arrived and sometimes they are pleasantly surprised to find something great that was completely unexpected.
I mention this for two reasons:
- I am guilty of this myself, either because of being rushed and not having enough time or being lazy and not taking the time.
- I see many elements in your shot that look like they would have been worth exploring separately with your camera:
* That spot of light/color in the grass/leaves in the foregound - both with and without the dead branches.
* That framed "stage" on the middle left but with a better view of the stream and perhaps with that log/bale in the ROT spot.
* The light coming through the trees.
* That almost symmetrical view of the three logs/bales on the right and "their view" of the stream. Seems like that might have almost produced an interesting triptych-like view of the stream and mist.
* A more intense study of the color contrast between green, gold, blue, and cyan.
* A more intense study of the splotches of light, color, and shadow on the ground and in the trees.
Anyway, just wanted to give you some ideas and maybe help you look for things when you compare your image to other landscapes. Have fun and keep shooting.
P.S. I totally agree with the recommendation to post in the landscape forum and get input from those folks. The only thing I would add is to make very clear that you really want honest feedback and that your skin is think enough to take it. The landscape folks (as opposed to the sports guys
) tend to be extra-polite unless you make it clear that you are learning and want good, honest feedback.

Others have given you plenty to think about ... good stuff. I'll try not to repeat them.
"What's the point?" "What's the message that you want to convey to your viewer?"
This isn't meant to sound sarcastic, but instead it is meant to be reflective.
In that ... suppose you were standing there without a camera, just taking in the scenery. Then you're best friend calls you on your cell (pretend a little here
). The conversation goes something like this ...
"Dude, I so wish you were here to see this ... it is so awesome." Then you begin to describe it (yes words) to him. You are trying to convey to him the message you want him to "conjure up" in his mind. Those are the "points" of your message. The first thing you might say is the light shining through the trees is spectacular, or the leaves are so colorful, or the fog is really cool on the river.
Once you've decided what is the most important thing to tell your friend that he is "missing" by not being there ... "voila", that's what you need to go after with your camera, and with your PP.
I realize that we often times want to "show it all" ... but that many times (not always) becomes a recipe for minced meat rather than Filet Mignon. Determine your point(s)/message(s) and lead with your strength, while minimizing distractions ... being careful not to water down the awesomeness with uber-inclusion.
That being said, I'd like to see the ooc/raw. That, and what would be YOUR ANSWER to the first/strongest point/message that you want to show those of us who weren't there. You are trying to "take us there" (camera & pp) ... but you first have to know where "there" is ... otherwise, the viewer is wandering around the scene a bit sometimes.

Lots of terrific info, and believe me I can honestly say I know its not a great image. I wish I could say I have images in my house that I actually took, but I don't. I am very critical , almost to the point of being anal. Ok Ok I probably am I admit it !
I will ask more in the landscape area. I really do try and do all that you mention, but I admit sometimes I get caught in the moment, and all the rules and strategies go right out the window.
It just seems to me sometimes that the whole image is the subject, and really not one thing in particular,
Sort of like music in many ways, some things just make you feel good, but its rather difficult to say what it is.
BTW when I said I had been watching the landscape images at this site I meant the Landscape images from the Landscape section not here in the Critique section.
I look at as many images a day as I can from forums all over. Even at lunchtime and during breaks at work. Some are so amazing, I wonder how I could ever get as good or even close.But that doesn't stop me from trying, it just inspries me to do better.Plus the tiny bits of encouragement help a lot, especially in the confidence department.
Thanks for everyones input ! I'll do better next time.

No worries @ rules/strategies ... if your "point/message" is the "feel good" (i.e. it is so serene here) rather than subject, then conveying a mood has its own methodologies and approaches. But whether it is a "thing" or a "mood" or
.... asking yourself what your message is (whatever the answer may be) that you want to convey to your viewer can be helpful in assessing your approach (camera & pp).
For instance, (generally speaking) vibrant color and strong contrast may not help one associate with "serene & peaceful". Likewise, soft focus doesn't typically convey "powerful & dynamic". These certainly aren't hard & fast rules, per se ... but rendering your camera & pp decisions to align with your objectives (point/message) can go a long way to not having conflicting aspects in your image/message.
I took a stab at opening up the shadows a bit and some selective softening to try and make the mood a bit different.

#1: I would find a subject. Try to find a group of trees that compliment the settings.
#2: If you have the opportunity to shoot this again I would stop it down and try for a long exposure. This would really show of the fog and make the observant more curious about the photo.

I didn't target the rays per se.
You had mentioned the "seeing it all" aspect, so I tried to imagine what it would be like to "be there". The first thing that came to mind for me was that if I were there, I would be able to "see it all" because of the eye/brain accommodation , which for me meant that the overall image needed lightened and particularly in the shadows.
Next, the aspect that there is a mix of soft and harder lighting, the bulk of which is softer/shade, with some specular shining through. For this, I applied some blur to soften the image, but masked the foreground area to leave it a bit sharper.
Other than that, mostly selective tweaks to try an emulate a bright spot in the foreground that would correspond to the opposite corner sun location. Hopefully to have the bright/color of the foreground as an entry point to the image, followed by an overall exploration of being able to "see it all". I wanted to bring your attention a bit away from the "stage" to try and balance things a touch ... if that makes any sense.

So you sort of did a global lightening, but more selective local softening ? Sorry just looking at what you did in Photoshop didn't quite tell me enough.

Sorry I don't keep better track of things, as I am a rather iterative in my workflow ... i.e. very back & forth between / adding layers. But that's sort of it.
Image>Adjustments>Shadows/Highlights to lift shadows global @ BG Copy (which is selective to lower values)
Lens Blur through mask (i.e. selective)
Hue (selective)
Levels (selective)
Saturation (selective
Brightness/Contrast (selective)
Saturation (global)
The masks provide my selectivity. Sometimes I paint them in, other times I use channel masks and in the case of the Lens Blur, I painted over a channel mask.
A given layer might have been a combination of mask, mask adjustment, mode variance, opacity adjustment and more than one fade. As a result, I can't really say move your black point to "X" or your Hue to "Y", etc. ... it gets into that "feel" thing as I try to push/pull the various aspects/elements to create contrast or harmony where I want them to be. Usually has back & forth workflow for me, not very often do I get it where I want it in a "direct" manner.
HTH, sorry I don't have more/better.

Premium vs regular unleaded fuel.
I got in a debate with someone that claims premium gas s better gas. I asked him to define better, he said that premium gas:
contains better detergents
burns cleaner
better mileage
give more horsepower
He is wrong on the first three points. The more power is true ONLY if your engine requires premium fuel. He was driving a Silverdo with a 5.3L engine. I told him unless he has re-tuned his ECU with a programmer, running premium was only going to take more money out of his wallet. He refused to believe me and said that his truck just runs better on premium. I stopped the discussion as he has convinced himself of this.
I have noticed that people that run premium gas tend to want to thump their chests a lot more about the automobiles.
You try to tell people that octane is simply a combustion inhibitor and does not contain secret amounts of power. They won't hear of it. Ignorance at its finest.

The only actual difference I can honestly say I've seen between the two is "knock". I have data logged with hp tuners on all of my vehicles, 2.0 turbo, 6.0 vortec, 5.7 lt1, 5.7 ls1, and a 3.1. And when running 87 octane in each of these engines there is quite a bit of knock through out acceleration, when switched to 93 octane there is a considerablely less amount of knock in the engines.
Certain amounts of knock can reduce timing, which could feel like less power. Your friend is not totally wrong, if you datalog your truck where you can actually see timing tables you will see what I am talking about. I use premium in them all, I drive 110 miles everyday to work and back so to me less knock is better....2004 Chevy Colorado

I agree that the Higher octane makes the engine "sound" better. Ive noticed with the AFM kicked in, the truck runs better in the 4 cyl. mode with the higher octane. Some people have complained of the AFM causing a chatter noise which I did notice using 87 octane. Not noticeable with premium. I also have increased my mpg by 1 mpg using higher octane. I am only convinced of this due to my own experiences. I will not try to convince anyone else of this because if your not trying it yourself then theres no point in arguing it. Also all vehicles and situations are different. I had a tuner and tuned it for premium gas. This may be where I gained the 1 MPG but the AFM chatter was gone when I put premium in before I tuned it.

@nakranij swore by 93 even before he tuned for it. Now with tuning I could see some benefit beyond reduced engine clatter, but I just don't get it with no tuner.
I'm much more interested in the comparison of 87 E-10 versus 87 ethanol-free (if you can reliably find it, these days), as the cost difference could be as little as 5-7 cents/gal while the advantages to using ethanol-free are, in theory, a ~10% power improvement (i.e. better MPG) and less engine build-up. Ethanol-free could be a better choice for long term fuel consumption, but that's probably a discussion for another thread.
Well the basic's of it, The higher the octane, the hotter/cleaner the fuel burns. We are nit picking here, but a hotter, cleaner burn increases the rate at which the pistons fire (to some insignificant degree) increasing the speed at which your cam is spinning or recovering from cycles.
This translates into a insignificant rate of transfer to your flywheel and into the transmission which is powering the wheels that are meeting the pavement.
The other variables to consider include:
- are you flooring the pedal to increase the speed at which you are traveling
- are you running on "fresh" oil (meaning you just did an oil change and the engine is at its peak performance)
- is your tranny fluid fresh?
- is your rear diff. fluid fresh also, not worn out.
- are your tires balanced and rotated and not bald
Considering all of the above, is there a reason I like 93 oct over 87? lets just say between the split seconds I get from it ( which amount to nothing in reality right? ) when in situations with people that do not know how to drive down here, I have avoided tree's rear bumpers, etc because I can count on my reaction time and the enhanced reaction time of the truck with the better fuel in it. ( you know those people that don't know where they are going and then hit their breaks and decide to make a left turn right in front of you)
That was before running the intune on my engine. After the intune, the 93oct. made a bigger difference.
Surreal can tell you first hand that I like a certain level of performance from my truck, unfortunately the truck I have right now; I can't justify serious performance upgrades cause it ain't worth it. However he was right behind me getting on the freeway after we met up with a few other guys to hang out for a while.
By the time he merged into the main freeway, I was about 2 miles ahead of him . Now he also has a 6inch lift which changes things a little. He flashed his lights at me and they were like pin holes in my rear view mirror.
That would not have happened with an un-tuned engine running 87oct.
Now, I think there is a bigger difference in using gas that is ethanol-free. If I could get my hands on ethanol-free 93 oct, I would run it exclusively, but there is a station about 3 miles from me that sells 89oct ethanol-free gas.
The problem is I can get diesel cheaper than 100% ethanol-free 89oct gas.
But, yes, you stomp on it whereas I just cruise along; I've never had the urge to drive quickly in a lifted vehicle ... so the gains of which you speak are not ones I'd feel/notice.
I run nothing but plus or premium in my V-8. Old gramps told me to when I was real little and the old fool is a Chevy guru so I'm inclined to try what he says. Honestly, my truck is a ether baby now. It's ran out of gas a couple times before (gas gauge don't work) and I've had to put a couple gallons of regular I keep for emergencies in it. Wouldn't ever crank less I sprayed the filter with starter fluid.94 Chevrolet K1500 4x4. 5.7L 350, 5-speed (AKA Betty) Or Rust Bucket...depends on if I'm mad at her.

Ulrich Alexander "Rick" Fox (born July 24, 1969) is a Canadian television actor and retired professional basketball player who last played for the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers in 2004.
Early life[edit]
Fox was born in Toronto, the son of Dianne Gerace, who was an Olympic high jumper and women's pentathlete, and Ulrich Fox.[1] His father is Bahamian and his mother is Italian Canadian. Fox's family moved to his father's native Bahamas when Fox was young. He attended Kingsway Academy in Nassau, where he was a member of the high school's basketball team, the "Saints." Fox also played high school basketball in Warsaw, Indiana. After two seasons (1984–1986) at Warsaw, Fox was projected to have a monster senior season. Just prior to his senior season, the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) ruled that he had no more high school eligibility left (due to completing eight semesters in the Bahamas) and was not allowed to participate in any IHSAA games.[2] Despite not playing his senior season, Fox was voted onto the Indiana All-Star team in 1987.
He then went on to star collegiately at the University of North Carolina where his highlights included leading the Tar Heels to the 1991 NCAA Final Four.
Basketball career[edit]
Boston Celtics[edit]
Fox began his pro basketball career when he was selected by the Boston Celtics in the first round (24th pick overall) of the 1991 NBA Draft. As a member of the Celtics, Fox became the first rookie starter on opening night since Larry Bird in 1979 and made the 1992 NBA All-Rookie Second Team after averaging 8 points a game. Fox played off the bench his first two seasons as the Celtics reached the playoffs for the last time in the Larry Bird era. By the 1995-1996 season, Fox had become the team's starting small forward and achieved double figure scoring. He recorded career highs of 15.4 points a game and 2.2 steals a game (4th in the league) and made 101 three-point field goals in the 1996-1997 campaign.[3]
Los Angeles Lakers[edit]
In the summer of 1997, the Celtics released Fox, and he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. He played and started in all 82 games during the 1997-1998 season, averaging 12 points a game. In the playoffs, he tallied 10.9 points a game as the Lakers advanced to the Western Conference Finals before losing to the Utah Jazz. In the 1998-1999 season, the Lakers acquired All-Star small forward Glen Rice. Fox primarily served as his backup during the next two seasons.
Prior to the 1999-2000 season, Phil Jackson became the team's head coach. The Lakers achieved the league's best record with 67 wins, led by the MVP play of Shaquille O'Neal and the young all-star Kobe Bryant under Jackson's triangle offense. In the playoffs, Fox played all 23 games as the Lakers advanced to the 2000 NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers. In the Finals, Fox averaged 6.7 points, including 11 in the Lakers' game 1 victory. In game 6, with the Lakers leading the series 3-2, Fox hit a critical three pointer in the 4th quarter to help the Lakers' final rally as they won the game and the NBA title, Fox's first.
Following the departure of Glen Rice, Fox started 77 of 82 games in the 2000-2001 season, posting averages of 9.6 points a game while shooting 39 percent from three point range. In the playoffs, Fox started in all 16 games as the Lakers swept through the first three rounds and reached the 2001 NBA Finals against the Philadelphia 76ers. Fox scored 19 points in the Lakers' game 1 loss; the 76ers were led by Allen Iverson's 48 points. The Lakers would win the next four games of the series, securing their second straight championship. In the fifth game, Fox contributed with 20 points, and hit all three of his three-point field goal attempts.
In the 2001-2002 season, Fox played and started in all 82 games in the regular season and in all of the Lakers' 19 playoff games. The Lakers faced a grueling 7 game series against the Sacramento Kings, with Fox scoring 13 points in the Lakers' game 7 victory in Sacramento. In the 2002 NBA Finals against the New Jersey Nets, Fox averaged 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals as the Lakers swept the Nets in 4 games to win their third straight NBA title.
In the 2002-2003 season, Fox started in 75 of 76 games but suffered an ankle injury that kept him out of the last two games of the first round against the Minnesota Timberwolves and the entire Western Conference Semifinal series against the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs defeated the Lakers 4-2. Fox missed 40 games in the 2003-2004 season due to a foot injury, but started in 34 of 38 games while active. He would only play in 3 of 16 playoff games as the Lakers advanced to the 2004 NBA Finals but lost to the Detroit Pistons in 5 games. In 56 career NBA playoff games, Fox averaged 6.1 points per game, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists.[3]
Fox played internationally for Canada once, at the 1994 FIBA Basketball World Championship held in Toronto.
Acting career[edit]
During NBA career[edit]
While attending UNC, Fox completed a bachelor's degree in Radio, Television and Motion Pictures.[4] In 1994 Fox appeared in the film Blue Chips as a member of the Texas Western basketball team.[5] In 1996 Fox then played the role of Terry Hastings in the film Eddie, a slumping basketball player who receives help from fan "Eddie" played by Whoopi Goldberg.[6] Fox then had a role as the ladies man Chick Deagan in the 1998 film He Got Game film directed by Spike Lee.[7] It was in 1997 however that Fox received the biggest role of his early acting career playing prison inmate Jackson Vahue on the HBO prison drama Oz, appearing in 11 episodes of the show between 1997 and 2003. Vahue is a superstar basketball player imprisoned for charges related to a major drug addiction. Fox first appeared on the episode To Your Health and each of the following episodes for the rest of the first season. His character would again appear at the beginning of the second season, before returning during the middle of the fourth season on the episode Revenge is Sweet and appearing on the duration of the season, as Vahue is nearing probation. His character's final appearance would come in the show's last season, on series finale Exeunt Omnes, when Vahue is almost killed by the character Brass.[4][8]
Fox was a supporting actor in the 1999 film Resurrection playing the role of Detective Scholfield and the role of Ray in the television film The Collectors. At the time ESPN quoted Fox as saying of trying to balance his acting career with his sports career that, "I mean, Penny Marshall is courtside. You got Jack (Nicholson) and Denzel (Washington). The head of the William Morris Agency is there. (Ally McBeal creator) David E. Kelley comes to some games ... I want to jump into conversations with them, but I'm working!"[9]
In addition to Oz, Fox appeared in three more television series in the year 2003. On the first season of the crime drama 1-800-Missing starring Vivica A. Fox, Rick Fox played the role of Eric Renard over five episodes.

In 2007 Fox played Wilhelmina Slater's bodyguard and lover Dwayne in the second season of Ugly Betty, opposite his former wife Vanessa L. Williams.[15] The following year Fox signed on with the show Dirt to play a recurring role in a multi-episode storyline lasting six episodes playing the role of Prince Tyrese.[4][16] In 2008 and 2009, he had a recurring role (as a fictionalized version of himself) on the BET comedy-drama television series The Game, also returning to reprise his role in the 2012 season finale.[17] In 2008 Fox also had a lead role in Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns as Harry, a coach trying to court the character of Brenda played by Angela Bassett.[18]

In an article about his appearance TV Guide quoted Fox as saying about his role, "It's all in Glenn's head now. 'How am I losing to this guy? He's smarter than me ... I love that they turned the 'threatening ex' on its ear. At the end of the day, I have more insecurity about my intellect and am constantly fighting to be accepted intellectually and be seen for more than my looks and my size. I want to appear intelligent and prove my intelligence. That's where I'm battling with him."[23]
In 2011 Fox also played a suspect on the crime drama Body of Proof[24] and in 2012 he played the character Andre Carson on the series Franklin & Bash.[25] He also played the recurring role of Winston on Single Ladies[26] and Andrew Thompson the series Mr. Box Office.[4]

Unison hits out at energy firm price hikes
Unison has attacked UK energy companies for raising prices, as British Gas owner Centrica imposes a 6% rise in energy bills today, ahead of an expected announcement of £1.4 billion profits.
– Mike Jeram, Unison head of business and environment
The billion pound profits of energy companies, announced at the same time as massive price hikes for their customers, are an insult to the many families who are struggling to get by as winter takes hold. "In this time of austerity, it is only right that we ask big companies to contribute more out of their profits.

Both state and national lawmakers are pushing for new legislation that would help veterans get back to work faster. U.S. Senator John Cornyn and Texas State representative Dan Flynn have introduced bills that will cut the red tape that they say keeps a large number of service men and women unemployed for months after they return home.
For many military men and women, coming home doesn't mean the job is done. While service overseas is on hiatus, finding work is necessary but not always easy."When you're away from your project, away from your job or away from your company for a while, it is hard to kind of get back into it," says Naval Reserve Commander Frank Davis.Davis returned to the United States from Afghanistan one year ago this week. It's bills that combat the veteran unemployment rate that could help him and so many others. "I'm a business owner myself, so when I left, I had to basically close projects or allow my clients to go somewhere else. Since I'm back, I'm kind of having to rebuild that... rebuild that client list, connections with people and it does take a little while to re-grow your business," Davis says.Senator John Cornyn's Careers for Veterans Act would, among many things, make it easier for veteran-owned small businesses to qualify for contracts with the VA. The bill would also require the federal government to hire at least 10,000 veterans over the next five years. "This bill looks like it'd be beneficial to help streamline that, but also to provide avenues to apply for a project and to also look for jobs, too," Davis says.At the state level, House Bill 45 would allow veterans to use their military training and experience to qualify for state licenses or credentials required for civilian jobs."These people are skilled. They're some of your best workers. They're people that have a high sense of responsibility and mission, then we turn around and tell them, 'you don't meet the standards because you haven't had our training,' but in reality they ought to be able to come in, take a test and get to work," says Texas State Representative Matt Schaefer.For example, that would mean experience in military policing and security forces could easily transition into a job with local law enforcement. Also, training as a military electrical engineer could qualify veterans to take a test and get their state electrical engineering license.
The 10,000 and jobs that Senator Cornyn's bill requires the federal government to fill would be already existing vacancies. The federal government would not be asked to create more positions to employ veterans.

How to Train Your Dragon 2
Five years have passed since Hiccup and Toothless united the dragons and Vikings of Berk. Now, they spend their time charting the island's unmapped territories. During one of their adventures, the pair discover a secret cave that houses hundreds of wild dragons -- and a mysterious dragon rider who turns out to be Hiccup's long-lost mother, Valka (Cate Blanchett) . Hiccup and Toothless then find themselves at the center of a battle to protect Berk from a power-hungry warrior named Drago.

Toothless it's not.
In a world of sequels, reboots and franchise industry economics dictating that creativity is encouraged but not required, the DreamWorks Animation offering "How to Train Your Dragon 2" looks, feels and flows like a real movie. It's better than the last few Pixar features, among other things, and from where I sit that includes "Toy Story 3."
In an emotionally resonant key, it's as satisfying as the initial 2010 "Dragon," based very loosely on the Cressida Cowell books. Writer-director Dean DeBlois worked on the first one, and he brought along an army of proven collaborators for the sequel, chiefly production designer Pierre-Olivier Vincent and visual consultant Roger Deakins. The latter is one of the finest cinematographers alive, and while his specific input on the rich Viking palette and fiery glory of "Dragon 2" may be ambiguous, it's all to the good.
Here is an animated film wherein the affection between the key players counts, and matters.
Now a young adult, adorkable Viking lad Hiccup (Jay Baruchel, voice) and his intended, Astrid (America Ferrera), live the good life in the remote village of Berk, ruled by Hiccup's benevolent father (Gerard Butler). The once-feared and -reviled dragon community has been successfully integrated into daily life.
Like a catapult, the film launches itself with two aerial sequences, the first a game of what appears to be Quidditch played with dragons and sheep, the second a soaring flight over the ocean and above the clouds for Hiccup and his beloved, inky-black wonder, Toothless, both of whom have retained and refined their shrewdly engineered artificial body parts. Wing for the dragon, lower leg for the human.
There is trouble in paradise: Across the water, the warrior Drago Bludvist (Djimon Hounsou, seething with vicious ambition in every line reading) amasses a dragon army. Hiccup locates the mother he never knew (Cate Blanchett, the simultaneously soothing and unsettling voice of the dragon-rescue coalition) and many things happen from there, including the death of a major character and some exciting scenes of swooping velocity that actually justify the 3-D upcharge.
To be clear, "Dragon 2" throws a little something in its narrative for every taste, every separation anxiety, every childhood vulnerability, in a slightly calculating way. In this sequel, however, writer-director DeBlois avoids most every threat of grim "Ice Age"-y wisecracking. This is a coming-of-age story, and the film rewards our investment in it. Toothless is the most inspired creature in the DreamWorks animation canon, endearing and fearsome in the right mixture, and when a cruel plot development brings in a couple of mountain-size "alpha" dragons for battle, our winged hero becomes a pawn in the clash. (Not easy to watch, especially for the 4- to 7-year-olds sitting around me.)
But it's not all grief and loss. Early on, there's a scene with Hiccup and Astrid in which she's gently mocking Baruchel's vocal inflections and the character's hunchy body language, and it's beautifully natural -- the right kind of comic relief.
Throughout the picture, you're aware of DeBlois' instincts clicking both as a company man with a third "Dragon" movie in the wings and as an increasingly savvy popular artist. But for once, we have an animated sequel free of the committee-job vibe so common at every animation house, no matter the track record. We've had worthy commodities stomping through the popcorn in recent weeks, "Godzilla" among them, but "Dragon 2," for now, is the one to beat.

Autumn has brought us beautiful, crisp, sunny days and we have enjoyed the changing colors of the leaves.
The leaves on our maple and pear trees were particularly bright this year and we have enjoyed rides to see the countryside and the surrounding villages. Several residents traveled with staff to the Fly Creek Cider Mill to savor the sweet cider and many tasty treats.
Our surprise activities have included team competitions of Jeopardy, bowling, crossword puzzles, indoor mini-golf, and a triathlon with magnetic darts, trivia questions and word puzzle competitions.
The activities hone our physical skills and test our mental abilities, but most of all they are fun for all ages from two to 96. Our youngest competitor is Jameson Gable and he is a very fair competitor, often assisting those of us who need a bit of help by pushing the target a little closer. All this is done with an endearing two-year-old smile, so who can resist.
Our Halloween party was a big success. Pat DeBaun and Susan Kenyon decorated Halloween cookies in preparation for the party. Bins of costumes, masks, wigs, and hats were placed in the Activity Room so residents could create their Halloween attire. On Oct. 29, residents and staff dressed up and enjoyed a day full of Halloween fun.
We met in the Living Room in the afternoon for the costume party. We played Bingo, but the numbers on the cards had been replaced by Halloween pictures and we used M&M's for placers.
Everyone was lucky and prize candy was distributed to all the winners. Staff and residents also enjoyed a lively game of charades followed by refreshments. Pat DeBaun's daughter, Eleanor treated us to some of her wonderful ginger snaps. Personal Care Supervisor Laura Black won the jar of candy corn for guessing the quantity correctly. Residents, families, friends, and staff enjoyed the laughter and camaraderie.
On Veteran's Day we honored our Veterans, Sue Stevens, Alberta Bowes, Wally Pickhardt, Bill Bowes, Joe Langan, Leon Rathbun, Ralph Veenema and Arthur Laidlaw at dinner. We shared a moment of silence to honor the Veterans who have served our country in the past and the many young men and women currently serving the United States here and abroad.
Our November birthday party was held on Nov. 11.
Cook, Darcey Schilling, made a beautiful birthday cake displaying a group of pilgrims in honor of Thanksgiving.
We sang Happy Birthday to residents Frank Rollins and Pat DeBaun and staff Gary Wadsworth, Vivian Allison and Laurie and Fred Blatt.
As Thanksgiving Day approaches we reflect on the things we are most thankful for, including family, friends, the companionship between staff and residents, our pets and the warm, gracious Home in which we live and work. Happy Thanksgiving from our Home to yours.
Members of the Thanksgiving Home staff put together this report.
Home Notes: November was a busy month
Autumn has brought us beautiful, crisp, sunny days and we have enjoyed the changing colors of the leaves.

Pronounced: PIE-low-NIGH-dull sist
A pilonidal cyst is a fluid-filled developmental defect at the base of the spine.
The terms cyst, sinus, and abscess refer to different stages of the disease process.
While the cyst is not serious, it can become an infection and should therefore be treated. When a pilonidal cyst gets infected, it forms an abscess, eventually draining pus through a sinus. The abscess causes pain, a foul smell, and drainage.
This condition is not serious. But, since it is an infection, it can enlarge and become uncomfortable. Therefore, it should be treated.
Pilonidal Cysts
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A pilonidal cyst may be congenital or acquired. If congenital, it probably began as a defect that existed when you were born. Sometime later, the defect allowed an infection to develop. If acquired, it may be the enlargement of a simple hair follicle infection or the result of a hair penetrating the skin and causing an infection.
The following factors increase your chance of developing a pilonidal cyst:
Symptoms may include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You will be referred to a surgeon for treatment. There are no diagnostic tests required.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. The choice of treatment will depend on the extent of the condition and your general overall health. Treatment options include:
As with all localized infections under the skin, hot water soaks will draw out the infection. This will not completely cure the condition, but it will help.
The abscess is lanced, the pus drained, and the wound is packed with sterile gauze. This helps it heal from the inside out. But, this usually does not cure the problem because abnormal tissue remains.
To completely cure the condition, all affected tissue needs to be removed. This is a more extensive surgical procedure than simple incision and drainage. The surgical wound may be closed with sutures or left open to heal from the inside.
There are recent reports that laser hair removal in the area may be an effective treatment for pilonidal cysts.

Cub Radiator changes
I recently ordered a Clancy radiator on Ebay for installation in my '71 Int'l cub (s/n: 238320 J). The replacement radiator was about 1/4" shorter then the existing unit. Due to the shorter height installation of the side channels was not possible.
The new radiator on the left is 13 1/2" between the arrows. The old radiator on the right is 13 3/4" between the arrows.
It appears that IH changed the radiator with the change to square hood. Clancy does not make the newer version.
Has anyone come across this issue and/or knows of a solution? One possibility is to fabricate a 1/4" plate in the shape of the gasket and install between the casting and radiator with two gaskets. 1/4" would need to be removed off the top of the side channels.
Re: Cub Radiator changes
I went out and measured my Clancy replacement radiator, and it is 13 1/2 inches just like yours. I also measured an international radiator (I think from a 50s cub)and it measures 13 3/4. I don't have the original 49 radiator here at the house, but I would bet that it is also 13 3/4. That being said, I didn't have any problem with the hood supports fitting on the Clancy radiator. I looked and there is 1/8 to 1/4 inch clearance between the top of the supports and the bottom of the tank. I did have to replace the Clancy filler neck with the original, as it was about 1/2 inch shorter, and the cap hit the hood. Maybe someone else knows of a change in the hood supports.
Re: Cub Radiator changes
Is the Clancy made in Ireland? I have seen some mention of of Irish radiators but have not seen one except in photos.
If the side supports do not fit, could the bolt holes be elongated? What about a bottom spacer under the radiator about 3/16 thick with a gasket on both sides? That would raise the radiator about 1/4". Neither aluminum nor steel would be ideal material for such a spacer, but either would last for several years. Steel might be the better choice since electrolysis is quite vigorous if aluminum and copper should be in actual contact.
I have a Cub radiator made in China some number of years ago, but have never installed it.
Had to replace the radiator in one of the cars here and the aftermarket replacement is from China. Looks a bit different from the original but it fit and performs perfectly.

Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: Cub Radiator changes
There were some changes to the neck along the way. I found it when I went to install a square hood on my 65 Lo Boy, couldn't close the radiator cap without scratching the paint. The hood had a steeper crease than a 'normal' square hood. I had a radiator shop extend the neck on an aftermarket radiator (got the new one from TM). The whole thing puzzled me.
It seemed to be the difference in the neck, but could be IH changed the overall dimension? I noticed my 71 has a similar neck to the one in your picture, taller than the others.
The whole front end of the 65 Lo Boy had been replaced, probably including the radiator, but not sure when the radiator changed. The bolts didn't line up with that hood, so I used a different hood (probably the one that was on the Lo Boy to begin with).
The 71 with the original radiator, notice the cap is way above the hood:
1971 Cub (Rufus) 1950 Cub (Cathy) 1965 Lo Boy Fast Hitch (Nameless III) 1970 Cub 1000 Loader & Fast Hitch (Lee)
Re: Cub Radiator changes
I don't think a spacer is going to help because the side supports go ON TOP of the radiator flange.
As I understand the main issue is that the side supports won't fit in between the flange and the top tank.
Re: Cub Radiator changes
The Clancy radiator is made in Ireland.
I think steel would be the best bet for a spacer.
The side channels would have to be cut down 1/4 or so in order to fit the shorter radiator.
Re: Cub Radiator changes
You would have to trim the bottoms of the side channels or also move the welded nut for the hood brackets. Seems like it would be easier to just trim the tops as needed to clear the top tank and get the filler neck extended.
Is there a problem with the fan shroud too?
Re: Cub Radiator changes
Yes, the 1/4 would come off the top.
Good point about the shroud. The hood may be impacted too since the welded nuts will also be 1/4 inch higher.
I'll have to mock it up and check if it will all work.
Pain in the neck. Seems crazy that ih would make the radiator 1/4" higher to accommodate the square hood styling change.
Re: Cub Radiator changes
Interesting, I changed the radiator on my early '79 using a Clancy as replacement. I DID have to grind down the tops of the radiator supports for a proper fit, however, on reassembly everything fit properly to include the radiator cap. The only thing I didn't like about the changeover was the orig. had a 4 tube wide core and the replacement only 3 tubes wide
Re: Cub Radiator changes
Send it back. Put a new core in the old one.
Re: Cub Radiator changes
Easier said than done in most areas. There aren't many/any good old fashioned radiator shops around anymore that will do that sort of work. All they want to do is sell you a whole new radiator.
Re: Cub Radiator changes
I went to the Links page on the Clancy Radiator website and it provides a link to the A&I Products website
I went to the A&I Products website and found the listing for the Cub radiator. That A&I Products listing shows the same drawing as the ebay listing and provides the dimensions for the drawing as well. The drawing dimensions show the core height as 13 3/4".
I might e-mail Clancy at the address listed on their contacts page email@example.com and ask about the discrepancy.
Re: Cub Radiator changes
I will do that. Thanks for the leg work!
Re: Cub Radiator changes
They still recore truck radiators,that would be the place to check
Re: Cub Radiator changes
Well, not sure what to say .... Multi Rad here in town recores all kinds of rads from reefer units, trucks, off-road heavy equipment, cars and Cubs. They even have the pressure testing plate for the Cub rads. Multi Rad is also a Gas Tank Repair facility.
