Hartin graduated from the University of Alabama in 1973 with a bachelor's degree in commerce and business administration, after which he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army Reserve. During his 30 years of service in the Army Reserve, he held six commands and several staff assignments. His commands included a transportation truck company, a terminal battalion, and a deployment support brigade. Hartin retired in June 2003 as a colonel. His military awards include the Legion of Merit and the Meritorious Service Medal. Hartin also holds a master of criminal justice degree from the University of Alabama. He is certified by the Alabama Association of Emergency Managers as an Advanced Level Emergency Manager and by Alabama EMA as a Certified Local Emergency Manager.
April's tornados were devastating. Can you put them in context?
I'm a life-long resident of Tuscaloosa County, and since the early 1970s, I have been involved with most of the significant tornado events that have come through my county. When you look at the time period between April 25 and April 28 throughout the South, we had a tremendous number of tornados and storm damage. Currently, it ranks as the fifth worst tornado outbreak in U.S. history. On April 27, Alabama had 62 confirmed tornados. Four of those impacted Tuscaloosa County with two being classified EF-4 and two EF-3.
Over the years, we have experienced damage to homes and commercial sites, but none compare to what happened on April 27. I've heard some people compare the destruction caused by one of the April 27 EF-4 tornados to a war zone. It was rated as a high-end EF-4 with a damage path length of 80.68 miles and a maximum width of 1.5 miles. Over 7,000 structures were affected. Two thousand plus were destroyed. Eighteen hundred had moderate damage, and 3,100 had light damage. I recently talked to a resident whose home was damaged in the tornado. She told me that she had the only tree left in their neighborhood. Indeed, there are areas that you can see for miles because the trees that used to limit your vision are no longer there.
Considering your long career in emergency management, what really surprised you about the tornados?
Tuscaloosa had two separate tornado events on April 27. We had the two EF-3s that caused damage in the county during the early morning hours. Had it stopped there, it would have been a significant weather day. Then early in the afternoon, we were hit with the two EF-4s. The Tuscaloosa County Emergency Management Agency's Emergency Operations Center was destroyed. If that was not bad enough, our community lost our Salvation Army facility, which is one of our primary shelters for the homeless. As the tornado tracked through our city, we also lost the West Alabama Red Cross chapter facility. Our operation and two critical nongovernmental organizations that are there with resources to help after the storm were some of the first victims of the afternoon storm.

Question on Delta "Legal Connection"Nov 23, 20141My family of five is traveling this Christmas morning from Indianapolis to Puerto Vallarta via Atlanta. We arrive in Atlanta at 9:03 am and our flight to Puerto Vallarta departs Atlanta at 9:57 am. Delta assures us this is a "legal connection", but I am concerned about making the connection. I am not that familiar with the Atlanta airport and also don't know what to expect on Christmas morning. Can anyone offer guidance? Thank you!RickSun, Nov 23
Meeting someone during layover at IAHNov 21, 20140My friend will be flying on United Airlines from Gulfport, Mississippi to Houston, Texas on December 21. She will fly on flight UA4588. Her flight arrives in Houston at 7:57 AM, and then she will fly out at 11:25 AM that morning. We plan to meet during this time, which is the reason for her long layover. Arriving in Terminal A that morning, where would be the place to meet her at? I will not be going through security as I will not be flying, so I need somewhere to meet that is outside security. She will need to head back through security and get to Terminal B to catch her departing flight. I have 2 questions: a) Where does she go after arriving in Terminal A to meet me? b) Where do I go after parking to go meet her? Thank you very much for any help!klhollomonFri, Nov 21

There will be a lot of other people waiting and standing there as well.ZAPWed, Nov 12First of all, ZAP... wow! - thank you!!!! You are amazing!! Forgive me, but the Customs' exit... Terminal 4?

[The views expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of photo.net] February 16th. 2005 - Nikon Corporation have announced an updated version of their D2H digital slr...the D2Hs. It offers a faster buffer and a presumed improved buffering method. This translates to eight frames per second in continuous shooting, capturing 50 JPEG frames, or 40 NEF frames.

Ok, it is clear to me that D2H is discontinued camera. But here are my 2 cents... I have owned 2 - Nikon D2H's since fall 2003 - and use them up to today. I paid $4,000.00 for each body. It is a work-horse camera. I took it with me twice around the world, from desert to under water. Never had any problem. Works great, feels great, performs well. Some reviews trash D2H. Don't get discouraged by them. It is all only a war of numbers. Yes, it has only 4.1 Megapixels. True. Läs mer Översätt till svenska
"...first time of using a Nikon product and I am still looking up to its competence and capability but from the ones that I have seen of it, very fantastic.

So I had the un-pleasure of being forced to use this camera on a 4 day sport shoot a while back. First thing that I noticed was that I couldn't make heads or tails of the autofocus settings.

Meh. I thought this book was ok, but the writing style was difficult and choppy. I felt there was no flow to the story.
Full review here: http://671books.net/fiction/frog-music/
Amateurish and superficially written. Too bad, could have been an interestingly told tale
Found it a little tedious and hard to keep reading as it wasn't really engaging though by the time you get to the last 20 pages of the book, everything picks up...that is, if you can bear the first three quarters of the book! Jenny's character is very interesting though you don't find that out unless you keep on reading!
It's the 1870's in San Francisco, a small pox epidemic and heat wave are the backdrop around the lives of two rather unconventional and very independent women. Not surprisingly, women of the day had few options – our heroines have a lot of pluck, though one of them not so much luck. A gritty murder mystery filled with historic detail that will appeal to readers of women's fiction as well as historical fiction buffs.
Such a tedious read I gave up half way through - page after page seemed to comprise of dull, endless filler. I didn't care about the characters and the inane decisions they made. Blanche strikes me as a cliche and not a bright one at that. Unfortunate because I enjoyed Room and Slammerkin
I enjoyed Room so much and its images remain in my mind still. Probably it was that same writing skill which made Frog Music so difficult for me to stick with in some parts. Some of the passages describing sexual activity made me mad, though I later learned that this character actually enjoyed stimulation of all her orifices; some passages describing the little baby made me cringe and cry, though I love babies and happily tolerate all the messiness of caring for them; and passages that flipped-flopped between then and the now of two days, three days, an afternoon, a week later strained my wish to figure out what was going on and the answer to the who-dun-it mystery.
Still, by the end of Frog Music I was glad to have read it, though she took me to the last 20 pages before I was sure of that. After page Fin, I stayed to read about the historical characters who seeded this fiction from Emma Donoghue, and I read about the music of the period found throughout this story. The appendix of translations of French phrases woven through the novel I had already found and used as I read and which I felt would have been more useful in alphabetical order rather than ordered chronologically by appearance in the tale.
A quick synopsis: Blanche and Jenny become friends. Jenny is shot dead. Blanche has reason to believe she was the target of the shooting and wants to prove the murderers guilty. But Blanche has a child who has been kidnapped from her and whom she wants to find more than she wants the murderers. But the murderers and kidnappers are the same! If she gets them convicted of murder, then she'll probably not learn where her baby is. And perhaps they have horribly killed her baby already in this smallpox-, violence-ridden San Francisco of 1876. Our heroine loses her job, her home, her money and her reputation; she suffers more perils than does the proverbial Pauline. Will she conquer all, will she end victorious and validated? Only you can tell, dear reader, and don't go peeking at the ending beforetimes for you don't want to miss this beautifully crafted book.
A very interesting but sad story. I found the flipping back and forth between the days before and after the murder a bit confusing. It is employed as a method to trickle out the facts and events, but I find that style kind of annoying. I kept wondering if I had already read and forgotten the facts of certain events only to have them revealed much later on. I was particularly disappointed with one stereotypical scene between Jenny and Blanche which I feel would have been best left for the reader to wonder about. I enjoyed Jenny's uniqness but I felt this was graphic and ugly, and out of character. I can't really elaborate more without a spoiler.
An engaging story well told, but I found myself increasingly impatient with the main character. In the author's words (p.371) " Her best strength is a terrier one: bite the rope and don't let go."
What an awesome story. Don't be fooled by the statement in the beginning of the book that all characters are fictional, this is based on a true story and these are real people. She has some great background info on the characters at the end of the book. The author really transports you to 1890's San Francisco. I can't wait to see the movie!
It is the end of summer 1876, and San Francisco has been struck by a heat wave and a smallpox epidemic. Jenny Bonnet, a frog-hunting woman dressed in men's clothes, is riding her bicycle when she collides with Blanche Beunon, a burlesque dancer and prostitute. This is the start of an unexpected friendship that will end a month later when Jenny is shot dead in a saloon at San Miguel Station. Blanche is convinced that the bullets were meant for her, and she tries to piece together the events of the previous weeks in order to make sense of this horrific murder. At the same time, she is desperate to find her one-year-old son who was kidnapped by Blanche's ex-boyfriend/pimp, Arthur, and his friend, Ernest. On 28 April 2014, Emma Donoghue was in Ottawa to promote her book, Frog Music. She explained that, 15 years ago, she discovered by chance an article about the real-life Jenny, and she thought that it would make a great novel. In order for the book to be really close to the facts, the author did a lot of research, mainly online: she pored through ship immigrant lists, genealogy websites and newspaper databases. She also read memoirs and travel guides of the time, and looked at photographs from the end of the nineteenth century. However, Emma Donoghue decided on writing a fiction rather than a non-fiction because there were not enough facts to make a biography. That being said, almost all the characters in the book come from historical records. Another important component of the book is music. The author wanted to show the culture of the time using folk songs that were popular in the 1870s. In fact, at the end of Frog Music, there is a historical background for each of the songs used in the book, and it shows that the lyrics evolved through time. In the end, the author was surprised by how the music took over the novel: there are almost 30 different songs in the book. I thought this real-life murder case was interesting, and I particularly enjoyed the historical elements of the story. The baby farms horrified me, and I couldn't imagine leaving my child in one of those places while I was working! However, there were repetitions in the story, and the narrative was slow at times. In addition, Blanche was not a very likable character, unlike Jenny who I found fascinating: she was ahead of her time and carefree, and would have deserved to be the main character in Frog Music. In fact, I would have loved to know more about her background, particularly her childhood. The ending was satisfying though: Emma Donoghue offers a culprit even though the real-life murder case was never really solved.

Help! Going to Atlantic City, NJ
I have 3 nights in Atlantic City with my husband. What are some local, do not miss restaurants? I'm not big on chain restaurants and not looking for sandwich shops. Would love to hear ideas.
Our favorites are Dock's Oyster House in town, for seafood, Bobby Flay's at Borgata for steaks and Wolfgang Pucks at Borgata for dining at the bar.
Here's a couple recent threads to get you started:
Dock's Oyster House
2405 Atlantic Avenue, Atlantic City, NJ 08401
Tony's Baltimore Grill for old school AC southern italain but most of for great pizza in an wooden booth type setting
do not miss this great food and easy prices and definitely a local type of place
Tony's Baltimore Grill
2800 Atlantic Ave, Atlantic City, NJ 08401
re: baymom
We haven't dined there, but it receives mostly good reviews here. Our steak experience in AC has been at Bobby Flays, Old Homestead, Palm, Mortons and Chelsea Prime - listed in order of our preference.
Here's a recent thread that has a lot of discussion on the Knife & Fork.
Best food I've ever had in AC was at Little Saigon. There is some discussion in the following thread:
Little Saigon Restaurant
2801 Arctic Ave, Atlantic City, NJ 08401
I know you asked for no sandwich spots, but if you haven't been, you should go to White House for hoagies, you can't get bread like that anywhere else (well maybe in Margate).
OK a little chiding: this topic is sorta done to death, about every 6 months or so. White House is NOT a sandwich shop. It IS a Atlantic City institution. Miss it at your regret.
Little Saigon is alot amazing.
As a Life Long AC visitor...Hey anyone recall The REAL Steel Pier? The Diving Horse? I am a Lifelong NJ Shore resident. AC was a dive, before Casinos revived it. Sorry, People went to places they recalled as "great" from honeymoons of '30's, '40's
50's.even 60's.
Casinos brought in business and revived food. So yeah some places will be now, Old or new places that are located in casinos.
I personally besides dining at Little Saigon; and WhiteHouse. eat at Borgata. The Buffet is great. The "chains" are great. I had an AMAZING dinner at Sea Blue...others called it different.
Just saying, it is a City that reinvented itself.
Little Saigon Restaurant
2801 Arctic Ave, Atlantic City, NJ 08401
re: Quine
Yes, I remember going there as a child in the pre-casino days (I'm 49 now). I also spend many summers there in the late 70's and 80's when I was in college and med school, mostly in Ventnor and Margate. Nothing like a combo from Lenny's at 4 am after the bars closed. Or 5/$1 beers at Kelly's.
I live in San Antonio now, but would not go down the shore now without a trip to The White House.
Well I like OPA which is greek and on the boardwalk. For Italian Girasole is really very good. Rustic foods in a fine dining atmosphere. Litttle Saigon cant be missed as well, but I like going there for lunch. Much less crowded and the owners are so happy to indulge you in specials as opposed to when the place is cranking out the dinner entrees. Also usally fits my budget on the way outta this town! I would reccomend one of the larger hotel restaurants, The Old Homestead at the Borgata is a pricy yet indulging experience!
re: foodislove1958
One of the restaurants we chose was Knife and Fork. Is jacket and tie required for my husband?

British architectural firm Hewitt Studios LLP recently completed work on the 400 sq m (4,305 sq ft) UK-based Limpley Stoke Eco-House. Designed with a focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, the futuristic home features more green technology than you can shake a (sustainably-sourced) stick at, including rainwater collection, passive ventilation, solar power, and an EV charging point. Read More
Cave homes, pit houses and other part or fully-underground dwellings all offer benefits in energy efficiency when compared to typical above-ground homes, thanks to natural insulating properties that help to maintain a near-constant interior temperature. Architectural firm Vasho made use of the same principle to keep RD House cool by partially burying it within a steep Dominican Republic hillside. Read More
It uses sliding partitions and storage walls, extension modules and a puzzle of garden components. Danish architects Henning Larsen's new Adaptable House is designed to accommodate the most common lifestyle changes, from having children to settling into retirement. The energy-efficient home can even be fairly separated in case of divorce. Read More
Karton offers recycled cardboard creations for home furniture
It's generally only when its time to pack up and move house that the typical homeowner encounters large quantities of cardboard. In bicycle helmets and vacuum cleaners, however, we have seen some innovative applications for the material beyond its use as lightweight and durable packaging. Karton, a cardboard furniture company offering everything from beds to room dividers, takes a similar approach, yet aims to go beyond the novel and make its paper constructions a charming and practical part of your living solution.

A glass house you could actually live in
Glass houses aren't typically very practical to live in (take the Santambrogio home for example), but the Vertical Glass House differs from most similar structures thanks to a design that combines architectural novelty with a degree of privacy. Though it sports see-through ceilings and floors, a concrete facade ensures occupants are shielded from the gaze of passers-by. Read More

text: CNN Panel on Baldwin's Homophobic Rant: 'If a Conservative Said That, They Would Be Finished' Print article Send a Tip by Frances Martel 20 Nov 2013 post a comment Anderson Cooper and Andrew Sullivan tore into Alec Baldwin's repeated use of homophobic slurs on the former's CNN panel Monday night, expressing disgust at the idea that Baldwin could potentially get away with using said slurs because of his liberal politics and an increased societal tolerance for words that defile the gay community. "This was a textbook case of being homophobic," Sullivan said of Baldwin's latest outburst, in which he called a photographer a "c**ksucking f*g." Sullivan argued that "to actually yell at another human being, to try to put them down in public as a fag" is "the most homophobic thing you can do," because its purpose was "telling the person they are an inferior human being because they are gay." Sullivan made sure to add that he did not believe the language should be punished or banned in any way outside the private sphere—"I'm not a thought police guy"—but expressed outrage at the idea that Baldwin's self-identifying as a progressive could deter some who would otherwise criticize his speech from doing so. "If a conservative said that," he noted, "they would be finished." Cooper agreed, later adding that the use of a slur against a racial or ethnic group would have been met with even greater instant backlash. "If Alec Baldwin had yelled the n-word at a photographer or a Jewish slur, it'd be over," he noted, "but the f-word is a word kids are called in school every single day; teachers often don't do anything about it." He also noted as problematic Baldwin's claim that he did not know he was using homophobic slurs, calling it an outright lie. "If you attain that great age," he said of the 55-year-old Baldwin, "and you don't know that calling a guy a 'toxic little queen' is an anti-gay reference... that is just a lie." The rest of the panel similarly weighed in, with Jeffrey Toobin expressing certain confusion about the political beliefs Baldwin touts alongside his "very obvious hostility to gay people in moments of anger." Panelist Ana Navarro attributed this seeming oxymoron to "political correctness," which can be easily turned off in a rage. "All of this stuff is traced with violence," Sullivan concluded, highlighting the language's ability to threaten such violence and not simply mock.

New York City is made up of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each one has enough attractions—and enough personality—to be a city all its own. Learn more about them with this guide.
Even blasé Soho-ites were a little bemused when this space-age shop opened, serving nothing but rice pudding in flavors that sounded like bad names: Subborn Banana, Black Cherry Birthday Suit, Coconut Coma. But the orange plastic take-out bowls are groovy (and reusable), the puddings are tasty, and the place is open till midnight on the weekends. Oh, how sweet it is.

Getting Used To Disappointment Lyrics - ForDireLifeSake
This time I'm giving up on you. It's what I'll keep telling myself. The
hourglass has dropped its final grain, I can't complain. I should've
expected more from you. Though I expected more, those big green eyes just
dropped me to the floor. We flickered long ago, now just smoldering ash.
The wind will take it away. In our lungs, through our sorry souls. I
should be there by your side. I've tried. Your affections change with the
wind's directions. I have a confession. I would love to know why you give
me this second hand sympathy, what more do you want from me? Don't leave me
with this. Again.

Coherence for .NET allows .NET applications to access Coherence clustered services, including data, data events, and data processing from outside the Coherence cluster. Typical uses of Coherence for .NET include desktop and web applications that require access to Coherence caches.
Coherence for .NET consists of a lightweight .NET library that connects to a Coherence*Extend clustered service instance running within the Coherence cluster using a high performance TCP/IP-based communication layer. This library sends all client requests to the Coherence*Extend clustered service which, in turn, responds to client requests by delegating to an actual Coherence clustered service (for example, a Partitioned or Replicated cache service).
An INamedCache instance is retrieved via the CacheFactory.GetCache(...) API call. Once it is obtained, a client accesses the INamedCache in the same way as it would if it were part of the Coherence cluster. The fact that INamedCache operations are being sent to a remote cluster node (over TCP/IP) is completely transparent to the client application.

It's funny how this can crop up. I had occasion yesterday (don't ask) to create a pretty substantial argument as written by a moron who also can't spell. I kept lapsing into Middle English, and every so often I'd come out with something and say, "Hey, waitaminnit, that makes perfect sense! We can't have any of _that_!!!" And then I'd have to go back and do it over again. But in practical terms, it's a perfectly good approach to just take a recipe and try as much as possible to follow the instructions. I often just sort of do it in my head, then try it in my little apartment kitchen, and usually what I'm going for is what the dish should be like, then figure out how to make it the best schmoozamajiggy it can be, while staying within the basic instructions and specified ingredients. In this case I may have taken the concept of "beer soup with egg yolks and butter" in an unnecessary direction, but not one, I suspect, that would be too far from Rumplt's soup in finished form. > Having just spewed all that about spoons and stuff, I'm going to > pop open a > brown ale tonight and see how it goes.

David M. Rubenstein Gallery
Records of Rights: a permanent exhibition in the new David M. Rubenstein Gallery, National Archives, Washington, DC
Now Open!
America's founding documents—the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights—are icons of human liberty. But the ideals enshrined in those documents did not initially apply to all Americans. They were, in the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., "a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir." "Records of Rights" allows visitors to explore how generations of Americans sought to fulfill this promise. The exhibition showcases original and facsimile National Archives documents and uses an innovative 17-foot touch screen interactive table to illustrate how Americans throughout our history have debated issues such as citizenship, free speech, voting rights, and equal opportunity.
Landmark Document Case
Judiciary Act of 1789 will be on display through December 16. Article III of the Constitution, establishing the Judiciary Branch, is more of a sketch than a blueprint. The job of defining the structure and operations of the national judicial system fell to the First Congress. With the Judiciary Act of 1789, Congress established a multitiered Federal court system operating alongside state courts. It gave the Supreme Court the original jurisdiction provided for in the Constitution and limited jurisdiction in the district and circuit courts. The act successfully addressed thorny issues and calmed public fears of a powerful, independent judiciary. Its basic structure still stands.The

Henry Sy again tops list of 50 richest FilipinosBy Doris C. Dumlao
Forbes magazine on Thursday released the list of the 50 richest Filipinos for 2014.
Forbes magazine on Thursday released the list of the 50 richest Filipinos for 2014.
Conglomerate San Miguel Corp. is negotiating to sell its remaining 27.1-percent stake in Manila Electric Co. to the group of tycoon John Gokongwei, potentially completing its divestment from the country's biggest power distributor.
Japanese tycoon Kazuo Okada may have lost the group of taipan John Gokongwei as an ally in his proposed Philippine gaming hub but not Andrew Tan, whose residential arm Empire East Land Holdings Inc. is keen on pursuing the upscale residential component of the $2-billion entertainment center.
While waiting for a more favorable timing, the group of tycoon John Gokongwei has started doing the groundwork for the initial public offering (IPO) of retail unit Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc. worth about P40 billion, which could be the largest stock market debut in the country.
The groups of tycoon John Gokongwei and Japanese pachinko mogul Kazuo Okada have aborted discussions on a partnership for the latter's Manila Bay Resorts, an integrated entertainment and resort project in Manila's future gaming hub Entertainment City.

The Lagos State House of Assembly and the Senator representing the Osun East Senatorial District, Babajide Omoworare, have called for the probe of the stampede that occurred during the Nigeria Immigration Service recruitment exercise.
They also urged the prosecution of the people that were involved in the tragedy.
The stampede that occurred during the recruitment on Saturday left no fewer than 18 applicants dead.
The Lagos State legislators on Tuesday reacted to a motion raised by the Deputy Leader of the House, Mrs. Lola Akande, under matter of urgent public importance, who narrated the unfortunate killing of unemployed graduates who were seeking job with the NIS.
The Deputy Leader said, "If the incident of such nature had happened in other countries, the immigration body would have been sued."
The lawmakers unanimously agreed that the incident should be investigated by the National Assembly to find the immediate and remote causes of the incident. They also advised that examination bodies should be involved when considering examination of such magnitude in the future.
But Omoworare, who described the incident as disgraceful, added that it was a reflection of wanton neglect and insensitivity of the government to the welfare of the youth.
The senator in a statement by his media assistant, TundeDairo, said, "I cannot come to terms with the dehumanising situation that those young men and women were subjected to in their quest for a productive engagement.
"In a sane clime, many resignation letters would be flying around by now. I appeal to the National Assembly, most importantly my distinguished colleague, to give conscience priority over politics in dealing with this issue and other sundry national affairs in the interest of democracy and development of our beloved nation."

Senior Spotlight: Kassie Freyermuth
Monday, September 29, 2014
1. What made you choose Westminster?
When I visited Westminster I fell in love with the beautiful campus, and having the opportunity to play volleyball as well as get a good education just adds to the beauty.
2. What has been the greatest part of your collegiate career this far?
I think one of the best parts of my collegiate career is all of the wonderful people I have met. Westminster is such a friendly place and the friendships I have made here I will cherish for life.
3. What is your favorite volleyball moment of all-time?
I am going to take this back to high-school and say winning WIPIALS and getting second in the state my sophomore year. Also, a wonderful memory I have is playing against the Belize junior national team this past summer in Belize.
4. Do you have any talents or hobbies?
Volleyball is life, but I do enjoy playing racquetball and looking at pictures of dogs.
5. What are your plans after graduation?
After graduation I hope to get a job as a teacher in either early childhood education or special education. I also wouldn't mind coaching volleyball.
6. What advice do you have for your underclassmen teammates?
My advice for the underclassmen would be to cherish every moment and play hard because it truly goes by fast. But mostly, have fun and remember why you started playing!
