dvd decoder choices
For XP, running media player 9, I've heard that some video cards have onboard decoders. Is this for playing dvd's? I have a 8800 GT (which I thought was a decent card) and know that the decoders won't play all movies from experience.
Will the hardware option pretty much cover all the dvd's out there? If this can be done, I'm guessing this is better than taking the software route.
Anyone recommend a card that can do this at reasonble price?
And what about the plug-in -- tried Nvidia long time back, but are there better solutions (including for HD). I don't think the Nvidia does HD.
Now that I have a new flatscreen which gives a geat display (AOC) I might as well take advantage with some flicks.

A few recent posts have got me thinking that the MP community needs a generally accepted catch phrase for all those folks that post up looking for a diagnosis for their current ailment. Much like "Yer Gonna Die" MP let's see what kind of home remedy suggestions y'all can give me. As a licensed medical professional that get's to refer to himself as a doctor and can be held legally liable as one... here's my sage advice for your current owie. "Rub some dirt on it and get back in there." That and (Seriously) if doesn't improve significantly over the course of 2 weeks, for the love of god, go and have an actual doc take a look @ it. Thanks to John L for the e-diag. term. cheers, BA

I like the t shirt that says; "you're not hurt, get up and climb".
"You're definitely pregnant".

Many of us will remember the first time we saw a trailer for the "Harry Potter" franchise. Settling down to the Warner Bros. family comedy, "See Spot Run," which the trailer was attached to, the first glimpse of what would become the biggest franchise of all time was sneaked out, and people left the theater with one overwhelming impression: '"See Spot Run" was a piece of shit. Since then, clips have emerged every six months or so for the eight movies in the series, and we've watched those children grow up in front of our eyes in a series of two-to-three-minute snippets, in the form of Quicktime files, YouTube videos and sometimes even on the big-screen.
So it's with a heavy heart that we report that the second and final trailer for part two of part seven of the franchise, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2" has debuted over at Apple, which means that the well is now officially dry. No longer will we thrill to the fast cutting and clouded title cards of the Warner Bros. marketing department! No longer will we gape at the brief glimpses of semi-completed visual effects set-pieces! No longer will we catch a fleeting look at the latest British character actor to join the cast, and try to remember which Mike Leigh film they were in! No longer will we be able to laugh uproariously when the ginger one makes a funny! Oh, that this too solid flesh would melt...
But it's important not to dwell on what we've lost: instead, let's think about what we've gained. In this case, two minutes and twenty-eight seconds of footage, which not only reminds us of the previous films, but also shows us the immediate future, in the most expansive look at the one long action sequence that seems to comprise 'Deathly Hallows Pt. 2.' And being on its deathbed doesn't mean that the series of trailers are being shy: in fact, one of their final acts is to ruthlessly spoil at least one major character death.
The film itself will be released in only a month, on July 15th, but with the knowledge that no more trailers are to come, it's hard to know why we should bother. The trailers are survived by a series of TV spots, and a teaser for whatever young adult franchise Warners desperately try to launch next year. Pay your respects by watching it below, or in HD over at Apple.

I wonder how much different the HP series would look had Peter Jackson never filmed LOTR... that would be an interesting parallel universe kinda insight, to be sure... but perhaps the look of all fantasy series would look entirely different had not Jackson's vision become (what appears to be) the norm.

So I've slept on every single HP movie and trailer for the past 8 years or so, but when did the series turn into David Fincher meets DragonBall Z? Holy shit that was a lot of dark rooms and explosions and wand-laser shots.
I thought it was all still riding around on brooms and life-size chess game traps.

The Joe referenced above is the Broadway producer who wants a song you can hum. This role, too, is forever linked to its creator. The 22-year-old Jason Alexander — in a production full of young actors playing old, which was perhaps the most damaging conceptual choice in 1981 — was the glittering exception which showed how the thing could, just maybe, have worked. Here we have Adam Grupper, and he is thoroughly charming. There are additional strong contributions from Betsy Wolfe as Beth and Elizabeth Stanley as Gussie. Plus a small solo in one of the "Merrily" transitions from child actor Zachary Unger, who did a fine job as Franklin Jr. in his big scene at City Center. (He'll make his Broadway debut in the coming musical Chaplin.)
Orchestrator Jonathan Tunick has been on hand since the original production, but the orchestration situation has always been problematic. As new songs — and revised versions of old songs — came along, Tunick duly orchestrated them; but subsequent productions, in non-Broadway sized venues, used orchestras with considerably fewer players than the original. So all the musical changes over the years have been orchestrated for smaller orchestras. How do you do Merrily at City Center with 23 pieces when a considerable part of the show is orchestrated for only 13?
By reorchestrating all the "new" stuff for the same 23. Fortunately, Tunick is very much around and — as anyone who listens to this new recording will hear — writing as skillfully as ever. (Tunick doesn't look like he's 74, nor does he write like he's 74.) When starting the assignment, though, he realized that the original charts for the show — which are excellent, as attested to by the original 1981 cast album — had an underlying flaw. In a fascinating liner note, he explains that Merrily was described to him when he started work as "a lighthearted, ingenuous romp, like a Judy Garland-Mickey Rooney movie." This, in itself, indicates just how unworkable and unfixable the original concept was; by the time the creators realized the true nature of the show, it was too late to make the sort of changes that were necessary.

Shoddy record keeping. A lack of administrative controls. No formal documentation.
Those were just some of the comments coming from the Tarrant County Commissioners Court on Tuesday.
Monday, Fox 4 reported on a Tarrant County road project and allegations the county wasn't following its own rules. The county's investigation is now wrapped up and it found no wrongdoing on the part of the contractor but plenty of changes recommended for the county.
"This will not happen again," said Commissioner Roy Brooks of Precinct 1.
They were strong words and promises coming from the commissioner after the county auditor found problems with the way his precinct and the county is conducting business.
At issue is a stretch of road in Southeast Tarrant County. Last year, the county contracted with R.D. Howard Construction to put in these safety slope ends, which provide drainage.
The contract stated Howard would pay for them but the county picked up the $14,000 tab.
"The county agreed to provide those, as Mr. Maenius explained, for various reasons," said County Auditor Renee Tidwell, referring to the County Administrator, G.K. Maenius.
After reviewing all of the documentation, Tidwell explained the county did a trade with the contractor for additional work he agreed to provide. She said there is a formal process for change orders but that process was circumvented due to time. Another problem? There was no value for the additional work.
"The costing (sic) of what we received for what we traded off for what we provided was never adequately documented and if it was performed, there is no evidence of that," said Tidwell.
She said there was no evidence the county ever asked the contractor to supply any value to the work he was doing for the trade. She could not determine if the deal was a good one without having to incur additional expense to the county.
"I don't have any control over what goes on inside the county," said Randle Howard, President of R.D. Howard Construction. "All I know is that I did my job and I did not do anything wrong."
Tidwell found no evidence of wrongdoing on Howard's part but she says there needs to be tighter controls within the county, more checks and balances. She recommends:
"The purpose of the change should be clearly documented, the scope should be described and any and all changes and costs associated with either the additions or deletions should be addressed," said Tidwell.
Commissioner Brooks told the court the buck stops here.
"We will have greater transparency. We will redouble our efforts to protect taxpayer's dollars," said Brooks.
Brooks added, he understood the deficiencies and promised change immediately. He said the job was complex.
"That, however, is no excuse for the shoddy record keeping and lack of administrative controls cited by both reports. Those things end now," said Brooks.
The issue is not the price tag of this project. We are talking about $14,000. It is about how the county conducts its business, whether taxpayers are getting their money's worth and the transparency we should all demand when it comes to government contracts. Commissioner Brooks told Fox 4 he is reviewing possible personnel changes in his precinct. The documents were turned over to law enforcement outside Tarrant County.

Earlier this week, Craig had a post showing some of his images of faith in Asia. Craig's post was in response to Steve McCurry's A Matter of Faith posting, which was followed in return by David Sanger, who posted Images of Faith. David called for other photographers to make similar blog posts; this is my contribution.Prayers at Night Bagan, Myanmar
I have to admit, I was quite enthused to start up this post; Faith has been a pretty constant subject in my photography and religious faith is something that I find inherently beautiful. Finding images was not the issue, even a very cursory run through my photo library came up with way, way too many photos to post here. Even as I write this post, I really don't know how many photos I will include. Doubtless it will be too many; editing things down is difficult.
Smoke Gets in Her Eyes Longshan Temple, Taipei
For some photos, I will simply give titles, for others, I will offer some details or an opinion. I hope you will wade through all that I post and I do hope you will enjoy. Thanks for your indulgences in what will be an overlong post.
Outside the Jama Masjid Mosque Fatehpur Sikri, India
To my mind, one of the greatest things about houses of worship in the East is how they are not simply places to pray, but they serve as community centers. People visit, eat, play chess and just generally live in and around the temples and mosques in Asia; I am much more drawn to the community center feeling of these places than I am to the more single use churches in the west. Here at Jama Masjid, the men spend hours socializing between prayers.
Drying Taipei, Taiwan
Similarly, I don't believe that you would find someone both washing his shoes, then laying them out to dry on a church's steps, as I found at this small temple in Taipei.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Officials at the Columbus Zoo are taking issue with an exemption in an Ohio bill that would allow a school to display a dangerous wild animal as a sports mascot.
The exemption is part of a proposal introduced on Thursday to regulate exotic animals in the state.
The zoo's chief operating officer says the facility supports the legislation overall, but not the exemption.
Tom Stalf also praised the bill's perimeter fencing requirements. He says the rule could have helped keep dozens of animals in Zanesville contained after their suicidal owner freed them from their cages in October.
The bill would ban new ownership of exotic animals in the state. Current owners of large animals would be barred from keeping the creatures unless they met strict standards beginning in 2014.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
An Ohio lawmaker introduced a proposal Thursday to ban new ownership of exotic animals in the state, months after authorities shot dozens of lions, tigers, bears and other wild creatures let loose by their suicidal owner.
Republican State Sen. Troy Balderson from Zanesville, the eastern Ohio city where the animals were shot, said owner Terry Thompson would not have passed the background check in his bill in order to get a permit to keep such animals.
Thompson had spent time in federal prison for possessing unregistered weapons.
Balderson said if his legislation becomes law, owners who have been convicted of a felony couldn't get the special permits from the state that would be needed to possess leopards, cheetahs and other dangerous and wild animals.
Balderson told The Associated Press on Thursday that he has tried to find a balance in the bill that protects the public and the rights of property owners.
"There are good people out there that do this," Balderson said in a telephone interview. "I don't want to have a knee-jerk reaction, and overreact to something that happened that was very unfortunate."
"The animals didn't get out, they were let out," Balderson added.
His measure would immediately prohibit people from acquiring new or additional dangerous wildlife.
Owners of lions, tigers and other large animals such as elephants and crocodiles would be banned in 2014 from keeping the creatures unless they acquired a wildlife shelter permit from the state. They would have to meet new caging requirements, obtain insurance, microchip the animals and adhere to strict care standards. Owners also would have to register their animals within 60 days of the law's effective date.
Zoos, circuses, sanctuaries and research facilities would be exempt.
Balderson said he wasn't sure how many animal owners in Ohio his legislation would affect.
The state has some of the nation's weakest restrictions on exotic pets. Efforts to strengthen the state's law took on new urgency in October when authorities were forced to hunt down and kill 48 wild animals -- including endangered Bengal tigers -- after Thompson freed them from his Zanesville farm and then committed suicide.
Celebrity zookeeper Jack Hanna has criticized state lawmakers for not yet passing new regulations. Hanna, a former Columbus Zoo director, has taken issue with the idea of some owners being allowed to keep their animals because they would be grandfathered into any ban.
A spokeswoman for the Columbus Zoo said the facility and Hanna are supportive of the bill overall.
A hearing on Balderson's legislation is planned for Tuesday.
The bill would let owners of constricting and venomous snakes keep their reptiles, but they must have safety plans in place in case the snakes got out. Owners could still breed and acquire new snakes.
The proposal is less strict than a framework suggested last year by a state study committee that Gov. John Kasich convened in April.
The group had recommended a more stringent ban on the casual ownership of exotic animals. Those who still owned restricted wildlife -- such as bears, monkeys and others -- in 2014 without proper licenses or exemptions would have the animals taken away by state or local officials.
Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said Thursday the Kasich administration had reached an agreement with the Senate, and the governor is comfortable with it. He said in an email the new standards couldn't be met by casual owners of exotic wildlife, a group he said is more inclined to have problems with the dangerous animals.
"It's admittedly not everything we sought or that the working group recommended, but it's most of it and such a huge improvement from where Ohio has been that the governor is comfortable moving forward," Nichols said.
Kasich had supported the working group's recommendations, which had called for a tougher ban.

MORTON, Ill. -- Zach Johnson is on break from his studies at Iowa State University, but he's still keeping busy.
Johnson is helping fulfill the wish of many residents within the village of Morton.
Johnson said, "I saw these people saying, 'My heart goes out to all the victims at Sandy Hook. I wish I could help,' and I thought, why can't we take it to the next level?"
He had been organizing a benefit dinner for the community of Newtown, Connecticut.
He was then informed they had received so many donations, that the proceeds should be used locally.
Now the money raised at benfit will be distributed evenly between Crittenton Centers Crisis Nursery and the children's branch of the downtown plaza planned in Morton.
"To do something specific in the community, I just think it's terrific," said Morton Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jennifer Daly. "And it does speak to this community of Morton and the people here."
One of those people is Morton resident and preschool teacher at Crittenton Centers, Sarah Berg.
Berg is pleased for the impact it will have both where she works and where she lives.
"I think it says a lot, especially that these kids are so young and this is their vacation, and this what they chose to do," Berg said. "I think that speaks volumes for them."
Zach Johnson is grateful for all of those who volunteered their time, even over the holidays.
"Here we are a bunch of college students, and still we're able to get together and still do something like this," said Johnson. "I think it's a great thing to see all of this happen."
Early planning stages for the Morton downtown plaza are now complete.
Proceeds from the Sandy Hook benefit will go toward the plaza's music garden, tree-house, and pumpkin patch for the children of Morton, all in honor of the children of Newtown.
If you could not attend the event and would still like to donate, you can donate to the fund via https://newtown.uwwesternct.org/

Hannah Ford...
I remember that even back in elementary school I was a little ahead of my friends," explains drummer, band leader and solo artist Hannah Ford. "That's because I've known what I wanted to do ever since I was seven."
Hannah Ford isn't the least bit embarrassed about admitting that she found true love at the tender age of seven. She even remembers when and where she was smitten. It happened the day she was introduced to the drums in her third grade music class. According to her, it was love at first sight. Since then she has pursued her passion with a passion.
Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Hannah had the privilege of studying with some of the world's greatest drummers and teachers, including Diane Downs, Louie Bellson, Ruben Alvarez, Jerry Steinholtz and Ndugu Chancler. After moving to Chicago when she was 12, Hannah took advantage of new opportunities to study and perform with mentors such as Peter Erskine, Stanton Moore, Danny Seraphine and Johnny Rabb.
"I confess that when I was younger I wanted to be famous," Hannah admits. "What kid doesn't? But the more I was able to be around and observe these great musicians the more I learned and the more I realized that, in the long run, becoming a good musician is a much more appropriate and fulfilling goal."
Following high school, Hannah accepted a scholarship to attend the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University where she continued her studies with multiple Grammy winner, Paul Wertico. Hannah credits college with helping to expand her knowledge of music and allowing her to become a better, more versatile musician. At the same time she was playing in the school orchestral, percussion and Jazz ensembles, Hannah was also fortunate to work with major touring musicians like Ignacio Berroa, Wynton Marsalis, Butch Miles, Jeff Berlin and others.
Now, with college behind her, Hannah maintains a calendar full of live and studio sessions for top pro's as well as her own projects, "Pandorum", "The Hannah Ford Band" and her new Rock band "Bellevue Suite" yet still manages to find time to do a bit of writing and teaching.
Another expression of her love for the drums has been Hannah's enthusiastic support for young drummers. Hannah spends much of her down-time reaching out to others at school assemblies with her "Peace, Love & Drums" multi-media show and giving back to students at drum clinics and summer music camps. This generosity as well as her many other accomplishments has caught the attention of the drum industry and led to sponsorships and endorsements from some of the biggest companies in the business, including Zildjian, Gretsch, Toca, Vater and Evans.
"It used to be that telling someone they hit like a girl was a put-down," says Hannah, "but after watching the way women like Karen Carpenter, Gina Schock, Sheila E and Cindy Blackman play the drums, I'll take it as a compliment. After all, what's better than playing kick-ass drums in a rock 'n' roll band, doing what you love… and getting paid for it?"
While it's obvious that drums have been the twinkle in Hannah's eye ever since she was that precocious, drum-struck little girl in the third grade, neither passion or success have ever blinded her. In fact, the talented, dedicated young woman has become a serious musician and positive role model whose love of drumming, along with her reputation, only continues to grow.
Hannah Ford listens to and enjoys a wide variety of music jazz, rock, pop, country, R&B, Latin and metal, to name just a few. Her favorite drummers range from legends such as Buddy Rich, Louis Bellson, Tony Williams, Jo Jones, Art Blakey and John Bonham to contemporary players like Paul Wertico, Peter Erskine, Stanton Moore, Neil Peart, Steve Smith and Vinnie Colaiuta as well as newcomers Chad Smith, John Blackwell and Jason Bittner.
In 2013 Hannah Ford joined Prince an 3rd Eye Girl....

I'm cutting on 2000 cals a day, how bad is to get 1000 of them first thing in the morning? I usually have a bigger appetite in the mornings. My next meal isn't for like another 5-6 hours, then I have another smaller one a few hours after that. I know it's better to space them out but is it really a big deal to get 1000 in the morning?
Last edited by Dedicated; 04-12-2005 at 11:11 AM.
Bottom line is that if you take in less calories than you use, you're going to lose weight. That being true, it's much better to space your calories out evenly every couple hours. I guess if you absolutely can't get another meal for 6 hours then it's alright, but you'd probably see better results if you broke it up.
Just think for a minute how you are going to space out 1000 cals for the rest of the day.... you still have a morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, supper, and evening snack, That's 5 more meals at 200 cals each. It's hard to eat just 200 cals a meal.
So why eat all those meals? Really important when you're cutting to keep your metabolism running high, and more meals will do it. It will also keep you from feeling starving between meals and be more likely to cheat.
i dont see a problem with it

Unbalancing the intake schedule by eating half of my daily amount would definitely hinder me. As with all things, BBing is very personal and tailored to each individual, so if it works for you, dont change it. If you're just beginning to start your 1000 calorie breakfast, please consider our advice.

"Determination is the wake-up call to the human will." - TR
I'm pretty sure it's been disproven that more meals = higher metabolism. In fact, I don't think it was ever proven to begin with. Just a bad assumption.
In the end, manage the calories however you want. If you are losing weight and preserving as much lean mass as possible, that's all that matters, how you do it is your preference.

I agree with Pete - eat however the food fits in your scheme.
metabolic increase would have to do more with the size of the meal so what would it matter if he gets say a 1% increase with a 1000 calorie meal vs .5% for a 500 calorie meal.

A case against TwitterJuly 17,2013The first thing you notice when you arrive at the home of the other Joe Nocera is the New York Yankees flag that hangs from his porch. Joe, 46, who lives with his family in Randolph, N.J., has rooted for the Yankees for as long as he can remember. A regional manager for a big fast-food franchisee, Joe is as passionate about the Bronx Bombers today as he was growing up in Queens. So passionate that, a few years ago, he decided to start writing about the Yankees on Twitter. His handle is that what you call it? is @joenocera.
I first heard about the other Joe Nocera from my daughter Kate. A Washington journalist, she has been a regular on Twitter for a couple of years, first at Politico and now at BuzzFeed, where she covers Congress. She has long urged me to join her in Twitter-land, which Ive resisted.
Anyway, Kate started noticing that whenever I wrote a column that inflamed certain constituencies, the other Joe Nocera would get some highly insulting tweets. A smug tendentious column, wrote @philipturner, in one of the more publishable responses to my support for the Keystone XL oil pipeline. Jeffrey Reynolds, a Second Amendment advocate, took to Twitter to boast that the articles on his blog are FAR more professional than mine, after I quoted him in a column about guns. Care to publish an accurate quote? he sneered.
Not being a tweeter, I had no idea I was being dissed in the Twittersphere. It was like the question about the tree falling in the forest: If you are mocked on Twitter and you dont know it, have you really been insulted?
I understand the case for Twitter; I really do. It can be used to spread knowledge by sharing photos or articles youve been impressed with. Paul Kedrosky, who used to write a terrific blog about business and finance, now confines himself to using Twitter to link to things that interest him. (Blogs still exist? he tweeted a few months ago.)
Twitter can serve, in the words of Jacob Weisberg, the chairman of Slate, as a personalized news engine that allows you to follow issues that matter to you. Kate says she started tweeting in Washington because you felt like you were missing out on a conversation if you didnt. At BuzzFeed, it is essentially a job requirement. Twitter drives traffic to websites, which is not unimportant. And it was hard not to be impressed with how Twitter covered the Boston Marathon bombing in real time.
But to me, at least and, yes, I acknowledge Im at the age where Im losing the battle to keep up with technology the negatives outweigh the positives. So much on Twitter is frivolous or self-promotional. It can bury you in information. Because people often use Twitter to react to events instantly, they can say some awfully stupid things, as Roddy White, the Atlanta Falcons receiver, did after the George Zimmerman verdict, suggesting in a tweet that the jurors should go home and kill themselves.
With its 140-character limit, Twitter exacerbates our society-wide attention deficit disorder: Nothing can be allowed to take more than a few seconds to write or read. Kedrosky may prefer Twitter, but I really miss his thoughtful blog. I recently heard Dick Costolo, Twitters chief executive, bragging that the pope now has a Twitter account. Once, popes wrote encyclicals; now they tweet.
What I object to most of all is that, like other forms of social media, Twitter can be so hateful. It can bring out the worst in people, giving them license to tweet things they would never say in real life. For several years, Douglas Kass, the investor and CNBC commentator, regularly tweeted his investment thoughts; with 63,000 followers, he was one of the most popular investment gurus on Twitter. Recently, however, he decided to stop because he had received so many inexplicably nasty messages. People who opposed his investment views denounced him in the foulest language imaginable. I received several life-threating tweets, he told me. I concluded it wasnt worth navigating the sharks to find the good fish, he added.
When I had lunch with the other Joe Nocera recently, he told me he tweeted purely for fun. Sometimes he sent tweets to sports announcers or players to see if they would respond (sometimes they did). Mostly, he simply offered up his thoughts about his beloved Yankees. Tweeting, he told me, helped relieve the stress of his day job.
I couldnt argue with that. The only downside is that now that were friends, the other Joe Nocera sends me emails with the nasty tweets that were intended for me.
Sigh. Ignorance was bliss.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Caterpillar Group President Stu Levenick testified before Congress Tuesday.
He urged members of the House Transportation Committee to adopt a comprehensive long-term Transportation and Infrastructure Bill. Levenick says other countries and regions -- China, Japan, Canada and the European Union -- have adopted integrated transportation systems, all while the U.S. falls behind.
"It's not just about selling more machines," Levenick said. "It's about the drag our poor infrastructure has on the U.S. economy, our ability to efficiently import and export, and consequently the adverse impact it has on U.S. competitiveness. "
The CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimates it would take an additional $1.66 Trillion to bring the entire U.S. transportation system to an acceptable level.

BELLE CHASSE, La. – Deputies arrested a woman Friday for getting on a school bus and threatening a sixth-grade student, according to Commander Eric Becnel, a spokesman for the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office.
Sayra Smith, 34, was arrested for trespassing and disturbing the peace, according to the sheriff's office.
Around 9:30 a.m., according to the sheriff's office, Smith got on to a school bus without permission at the intersection of Highway 23 and West St. Peter Street in Oakville.
"Upon entering the bus, Smith stood on the top step next to the driver and verbally threatened a sixth-grade student who was seated toward the rear of the bus," Becnel said. "When the bus driver attempted to intervene, Smith became even more irate and began to yell obscenities at the driver. The bus driver had to repeatedly ask Smith to exit the bus, before she eventually complied."
Smith's daughter and the sixth-grade student who Smith allegedly had threatened had been "involved in an incident on the bus" on Thursday, according to the sheriff's office. The incident between the two students is under review by the school board.
As a result of the investigation, deputies obtained a warrant for arrest on Smith for trespassing and disturbing the peace. Deputies were unable to locate Smith before she turned herself in to the Belle Chasse Lockup Saturday around 12 p.m.
Smith posted a $1,500 bond and was released pending a court date, according to the sheriff's office.

PLANO — Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel's celebrity is transcending the game of football.
"I told a lot of people after my trip to Kerrville that I really wanted to start doing better things," Manziel said. "I could change a lot of peoples' lives and raise a lot of awareness with that trophy."
That trophy, of course, is the Heisman, which he won in December as a freshman.
On Monday at Gleneagles Country Club in Plano, Manziel was playing golf to help bring more awareness to kids battling cancer. The tournament was the III Forks Golf Classic benefiting the Team Connor Childhood Cancer Foundation.
Sunday's auction raised nearly $100,000 for the foundation, and $15,000 of that was a direct result of Manziel's support through autographs — and, of course, a chance to play a round with the Heisman Trophy winner.
"It's not only that's he's lending support for this Team Connor today and to raise funds, but I think he lends such hope to children that are fighting cancer that somebody like him — who has such stage presence and all this media attention — is fighting for them," said Joy Cruse, Connor's mom.
Connor was just eight years old when he died in 2009 after a four-year battle with cancer.
"As the father of an eight-year-old son that I lost, for him, a hero to grow up in Texas, what he's accomplished as a freshman and what he stands for and him being here, we're very proud to stand with him. Very proud," said Tait Cruse, Connor's dad.
Meanwhile, Manziel said he's learned a lot recently about being himself — no matter how much he's scrutinized in public.
"I just feel like I'm not changing; I'm not going to let this trophy change me," Manziel said. "It's going to change for the better. It brings opportunities to my life like this and other things."
And that certainly sounds like man a who is figuring out how to be a celebrity.

Autism is one of a group of neurodevelopmental disorders known as pervasive developmental disorders, which are characterized by impaired communication, impaired social interaction, and restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behaviors or interests. Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are used to describe three of the five pervasive developmental disorders, including autistic disorder, Asperger disorder, and a third category that includes pervasive developmental disorders that do not fit into the classic descriptions of developmental disorders.
Brain Food for Autism
Research has shown that a restricted diet rich in certain "brain-boosting" foods can help manage autism and its side effects.
Children's Health A to Z
It's never to early to teach your kids about a healthy lifestyle. The diet and fitness choices you make for them can help instill healthy habits later on.
Bullying Stories: A Mom's Perspective
After her child became a victim of harassment at school, anti-bullying advocate and educator Trudy Ludwig set out to show parents and a kids that bullying is not a rite of passage.
Understanding Pervasive Developmental Disorders
Pervasive Developmental Disorders typically manifest during the first few years of life and can cause significant delays in communication, growth, and mental development.
How to Deal With Aggressive Behavior
Aggressive behavior can be disruptive and sometimes violent. Understanding the causes of violent or aggressive behavior can offer solutions on how to deal with it.
Treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Behaviors
Anxiety disorders that cause obsessive or compulsive behaviors don't have to rule your life. Medications and therapies can help reduce stress and help you avoid triggers.

Burnley Council sells off Iceland bank stake at auction (From Burnley and Pendle Citizen)
When news happens, text LT and your photos and videos to 80360. Or contact us by email or phone.
3:12pm Monday 10th February 2014 in News
BURNLEY Council has sold its stake in Icelandic bank Landsbanki at auction to free up money to go into services and resources.
The council could have hung onto its share for an indefinite amount of time to recoup the full amount, or chosen to take part in the auction.
Waiting to recover the full amount could have taken years, and executive member for finance Mark Townsend said he thought it was better to settle for most of the money, and have the cash available sooner. Just over 90 per cent of the value of the investment has been recovered.
A Burnley Council spokesman said: "Burnley Council has sold its claim against the insolvent estate of LBI (formerly Landsbanki Islands HF).
"The claim was sold through a competitive auction process. The price at which the claim was sold was based on a reserve price set by the council on the basis of legal advice from law firm Bevan Brittan and financial advice procured by the Local Government Association.
"The proceeds of the sale, over £390,000, were paid in cash in Pounds Sterling and those funds have already been received.
"The sale means the council has recovered 91.8 per cent of the amount that was originally deposited with LBI in 2008.
"The sale of our claim represents a clean break. Burnley Council is now no longer a creditor of LBI. The money has gone back into providing general services for the people of Burnley."

Getting back a large part of the money was much better than waiting forever, hoping it would work out.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints match-up this weekend in a game that is pretty difficult to predict considering the ups and downs both teams have seen this season. Despite that, however, the NFL odds still have the Saints favored by more than a touchdown at home.
It has to surprise some that the Saints are 7½ point favorites considering they picked up one of the worst losses of the season last week against the St. Louis Rams and lost 26-20 to the Bucs less than a month ago in their first meeting of the season. Tampa Bay is coming off of a bye, though, and Vegas apparently isn't sure what to make of them quite yet.
The over-under is set at a manageable 50 points, which seems considering Drew Brees is quarterbacking one of the teams and the Bucs should have all of their offensive weapons healthy -- including starter LeGarrette Blount -- but these teams only combined for 46 points in their first match-up.

A missing 5-year-old girl taken from her father's home in Gladstone has been found safe, police said Monday afternoon.
Lili Justine High's father was overjoyed when he was able to once again hold his daughter Monday afternoon. He said he could not describe his elation.
"I'm so relieved, so relieved," an emotional High said, adding the important thing is to have his daughter back safe and sound. "I'm just glad to have her back."
Lili's mother, Christina Willbanks, took her daughter to the Gladstone police station where she handed her daughter over to authorities about 2:15 p.m. Monday. Authorities questioned Willbanks, and have not said where Lili had been for the past several hours.
Authorities said even though Lili's disappearance involved people she knew and family members that they issued an Amber Alert because they were concerned about her safety.
Lili had been the focus of an Amber Alert after she was taken from her father's home, located at 2703 NE 57th Terrace, Sunday evening.
Authorities arrested the woman who was believed to have taken the girl. Tammi J. Lampkins, who also is known as Tammi J. Kelly, was taken into custody about 8:30 a.m. Monday at the Parvin Estates apartments on North Wheeling Avenue and Northeast Russell Road in the Northland.
Lili's father told police that Lampkins stopped by at his Gladstone home Sunday evening, and when he briefly stepped out of the room, Lampkins left with Lili. Lampkins is a friend of the girl's mother.
Lili's family said that Willbanks has been estranged from the family for a while. Lili's father has sole custody.
High's mother said because of the volatile relationship between Lili's parents and the custody issues that she believes custody of Lili should be given to a grandparent.

Message to Beacon Hill: What part of 5 percent don't you understand?
Income tax rate history lesson: In 1989, Michael Dukakis increased the rate from its traditional 5 percent to 5.75 percent. The only way he and Democratic legislative leaders could get even many Democrats to vote for it was to promise that the new rate was "temporary." And sure it enough, it was: The next year they increased it to 6.25 percent.
They said this was temporary, too, and tried to assuage voter outrage over the earlier lie with a requirement that the rate drop automatically in 1992 to 5.95 percent. Not believing them, taxpayer activists including me put a question on the 1990 ballot to repeal the entire Dukakis package, which included, along with the income tax increase, an expansion of the sales tax to services, and an increase in the state gas tax for "transportation needs." Opponents said the repeal "goes too far" and voters rejected it; maybe they thought the gas tax increase was actually going to be spent on roads and bridges.
But using the same ballot, still-angry voters threw out a bunch of the perps, electing a Republican governor who ran on repealing the Dukakis taxes, and 14 new Republican legislators.
It almost tempts one to choose this message to legislators as they consider the Patrick tax hikes: Go ahead, make my day. No Democrat was elected governor for the next 16 years.
In 1992, when liberals tried to keep the income tax rate at 6.25 percent, Gov. William Weld threatened a veto, and had enough taxpayer-friendly legislators to sustain it; so the rate dropped to 5.95 percent. In 2000, Gov. Paul Cellucci helped lead another ballot campaign to rollback the rate to 5 percent; this one passed easily. In 2002, the Legislature froze the rate at 5.3 percent over Gov. Jane Swift's veto. Gov. Mitt Romney filed a bill every year to "defrost" it. Democrats continued to thumb their noses at voters, who still elected Deval Patrick governor in 2006. He argued that instead of the income tax rate cut, taxpayers would rather have property tax relief.

So in case you haven't heard, the Miami Marlins have new uniforms and they seem to be really interested in a new shortstop: José Reyes, to be perfectly specific. There's just the one little issue, though. Aside from all the zeroes in Reyes' next contract, that is.
The Miami Marlins already have a shortstop, and according to Clark Spencer he's not real interested in becoming an ex-shortstop:
Source: H. Ramírez is not at all pleased at prospect of changing positions if Marlins sign Reyes; the two aren't the friends many portray.
Clark Spencer covers the Miami Marlins for the Miami Herald, and so this opinion about Ramírez and Reyes and the relative warmth of their social relationship probably carries more weight than most.
What's more, even if they were the best of pals, H. Ramírez wouldn't necessarily appreciate being moved from shortstop; most shortstops don't, particularly those shortstops who are 27 years old and were, just scant months ago, ranked among the game's greatest players.
If the Marlins do sign José Reyes, they're simply going to be in a tough place.
It'll be tough to trade him, because he's coming off a lousy season and is owed $46.5 million for the next three seasons. Ramírez's value at the moment is at an all-time low, so if the Marlins trade Ramírez they'll be trading from a position of weakness. Which is almost never a good thing.
If the Marlins keep him, he'll almost certainly be less valuable playing somewhere else than he was playing shortstop.
Still, the bottom line is that Hanley Ramírez, when right, is good enough to play anywhere. And, if right, will be worth more than $46.5 million whether he's playing center field or third base or second base or wherever.
If he's right.

A northwestern Wisconsin woman is charged with reckless homicide in a crash that killed her two-year-old daughter and injured three other children.
A criminal complaint says 23-year-old Chelsea Cadotte was the only one who was restrained in the family's SUV when it crashed in Bayfield County last July near Washburn.
All four children were thrown from the vehicle after it rolled several times.
Two-year-old Mariah Gordon died as a result of her injuries.
Four-year-old Myley Gordon is in a coma with a traumatic brain injury. Six-year-old Carter Gordon suffered a broken hip and fractured leg.
The defendant's sister, 15-year-old Erica Gonzales, suffered broken bones and internal injuries.
The Duluth News Tribune reports a second-degree reckless homicide charge and three counts of first-degree reckless injury have been filed against Cadotte.
A big name retailer has its eyes on a spot in Wausau, according to city council members.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Quizzo Host, Wherefore Art Thou?
Wanted! One Quizzo host.
More specifically, the dude who hosted at Blarney last Tuesday. This recent ad, posted by a 21-year-old woman on Philly's Craigslist site, is on the lookout for the guy who ran last week's trivia game. Based on the winky face included in the ad, it seems like things have the potential to get serious.
We wish the almost-lovers luck in finding each other tomorrow night!

The average on board age appeared to be about 60 years old and one would think the music theme focus would be oldies ,show tunes and maybe Frank Sinatra ,but it was all over the lot with very little emphasis on the music of our time. The group that was most popular with the majority of the guests was 'Top Self' who only performed 15 minutes a session !Why ? I could have listened to that group for hours .The comedy was weak .On the whole, the entertainment was very weak.
The beverage card with spirits and coffee was a big plus .A dinning table mate added that on Carnival (the red neck cruise line) their idea of a beverage package was getting 5 beers in a bucket for the price of 4 !
The food was very good ,but not excellent .The ''all out buffet'' in the dinning room was a pleasant surprise and worth going to .
The Tuscan restaurant is a must ,superior service and the best food on the ship ,( sorry Aqua class diners ).
Celebrity passengers are a classy bunch ,very few yahoos .They were polite ,appeared to be educated and you often got the "good morning" @ breakfast.
The staff tried to please ,however @ times there was a communication problem that was fixed by a small tip .
The martini bar was outstanding with the entertainment from the bartenders.
The highlight of the cruise was the hotdogs and hamburgers!
Met some wonderful people who will be friends forever.
