Cleaning, and planning
Happy New Year!
A little early, but I figure most people will read this tomorrow, so it works.
We did a bit of clearing out today – going through our downstairs bookcases and weeding out the things we're never going to read again (or for the first time, in the case of several books that looked interesting but didn't grab us enough to make it past the first few pages.)
Here's a picture, prior to taking them all over to Good Will. (Oh, and a tea-maker, too!)
Keep in mind, though – that's only from the downstairs bookcases!
So, on another note, I've been thinking about what I want to do, long and short term, and I've got assorted plans, but as we're going over to a friend's house soon, I think I'll post the details tomorrow.
In the meantime, Happy New Year, and may 2012 be a wonderful and bountiful year for all of us!
An object lesson in point of view:
***First Try***
"Look, Voan! It's a gap! I wonder where it goes."
Iffith peered intently at a patch of air, but it looked just like any other to Voan.
"It's not the season for gaps," he said. "You're imagining things."
Iffith shot him a disbelieving glance before looking back at the same spot. "You can't see this?" he asked.
Voan rolled his eyes. "No, and neither can you. Now come on, or we'll be late for Ferr Nolan's lesson."
"Grandfather did say that some people couldn't see them." Iffith smirked. "Force-blind."
Voan bristled at the insult, especially since Ferr Nolan had just confirmed the diagnosis two nights ago. Not that Iffith should know about that. "Fine," he snapped. "If you're so talented, then show me it's there. Stick your hand through. Maybe something will do me a favor and bite it off."
Iffith grinned. "I'll do you one better. I'll stick all of me through!" He reached out a hand and slid it down through the air as if parting a curtain. Then, eyes locked on Voan's, he took a step and disappeared.
"Dung…" Voan winced at the thought of how insufferable Iffith was going to be from now on. He put on a bored look, so that Iffith at least wouldn't have the satisfaction of seeing him surprised or impressed once he came back.
A minute passed, and then another, and the careful look of boredom shifted into a more honest expression of annoyance.
"Hurry it up, Iffith!" He had no idea if one could hear voices across a gap, but they really were going to be late if he didn't come back soon. "Iffith!"
He gulped, and took a few steps until he stood in the scuffmarks left by Iffith's feet. Then he felt around in the air, trying to feel the edge of the gap, even if he couldn't see it.
It was no use though. The gap, and Iffith, were gone.
***Alternate POV***
"Look, Voan! It's a gap! I wonder where it goes." Iffith peered intently at the strange twist of energy hanging in the air just off the path.
"It's not the season for gaps," Voan said, walking past. "You're imagining things."
Iffith shot him a disbelieving glance before looking back at the same spot. "You can't see this?" he asked.
Voan stopped and rolled his eyes in that superior way Iffith hated. "No, and neither can you. Now come on, or we'll be late for Ferr Nolan's lesson."
Iffith stared at him a moment, then realized what that had to mean. No more superior attitude for Voan. "Grandfather did say that some people couldn't see them," he said, smirking. "Force-blind."
The other youngling bristled at the insult, and Iffith knew he had struck a nerve. "Fine," Voan snapped. "If you're so talented, then show me it's there. Stick your hand through. Maybe something will do me a favor and bite it off."
Iffith grinned. "I'll do you one better. I'll stick all of me through!" He reached out a hand and slid it down through the air as if parting a curtain. Then, eyes locked on Voan's, he stepped sideways into another world.
Depending on whose point of view I choose, and whose part of the story I follow, I can wind up with two very different stories!
Decisions, decisions.
Short Story: Home for the Holidays
Inspired by Chuck Wendig's "Christmas in a strange place" challenge, although I'm too late to enter. I first read it as "Christmas is a strange place," and it got me to thinking that even home can be strange, given the wrong circumstances.
Happy Holidays to all of you, whichever ones you celebrate!
Home for the Holidays
Sylphie woke with a gasp, flinging the covers aside and jumping to her feet before pausing to wonder what had woken her. A quick glance around the room showed her nothing out of place, though, no immediate danger.
She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly through her nose, trying to calm her racing heart and make sure that her brain was fully awake and functioning.
"Two teetotalers tiredly toddling to Tewksbury," she muttered under her breath. "Mother pheasant plucker, mother pheasant plucker. Rubber baby buggy bumpers." The tongue twisters came out ungarbled, and the familiar routine helped to calm her further.
She sat down on her bed, wondering if she would be able to go back to sleep, or if she should do a circuit of the house to make sure all was well. Don't assume. Never assume.
She sighed at the answer. It was going to be a long night if she couldn't get her paranoia under control.
I don't know that I'm insane, she thought. The others saw something too. Of course, I'm pretty sure the others were high, so they're not the best reality check I could wish for.
She pulled on yesterday's socks one-handed, unable to bring herself to put down the bookmark she held in her right hand for even a second. It looked like a normal piece of cardstock, doodled on in black ballpoint ink. According to her logical mind, that was all it could be.
According to experience, however, it might be something more. Mystical weapon or sign of a mental breakdown, she wasn't yet sure. Not sure enough to risk being committed anyway.
She skipped the slippers and bathrobe. Socks would keep her feet warm enough, and putting on the bulky robe would make her feel more vulnerable rather than less.
She stepped lightly over to the door, listening carefully. Was that the sound of rustling paper?
She flicked her bedroom light off, and kicked away the towel that had blocked the bottom of the door. Her parents didn't need to know that she was sleeping with the light on, but she couldn't open the door without giving herself every possible clue of what waited beyond. Faint light flickered along the crack, illuminating individual fibers standing up from the worn carpet.
She watched for a long moment before deciding that her parents had probably left the Christmas tree on intentionally.
A quick glance at the clock told her it was 12:45, Christmas morning already. It was too late for her parents to still be awake, though, and far too early for her sister to be up. There shouldn't be anyone moving around the house but her.
She gripped her bookmark tightly, and eased the door open, peering out and wondering whether turning the light on would wake her parents.
A large shape moved in front of the Christmas tree, and her hand flicked out to the switch without a second thought.
She froze in place once the light was on, though, gaping at the red-garbed figure by the tree.
He didn't look like a department store Santa, or even a movie Santa. He looked like he could have stepped right off a Coke can, or out of a child's best daydream. His suit looked well-made and warm, his hair and beard looked natural, and there really was a twinkle in his eye as he straightened and smiled at her.
"Ho, ho, ho!" he said. "Good little girls should be snug in their beds, or else they'll get nothing but coal in their stockings."
She closed her mouth, suddenly feeling angry. Bad enough she was seeing monsters at school, but now this? "Seriously?" she snapped. "You're seriously trying to pretend that you're Santa Claus? What am I, six?"
"Ho, ho, ho!" He reached out a hand. "Come here, child, and you'll see just how real I am."
A creak jerked her eyes over to the stairs, and she saw her sister Dryad crouching on the middle stair, just low enough to peer down into the room.
Sylphie could have kicked herself for speaking so carelessly. She didn't honestly believe the figure by the tree was really there, but she couldn't just ignore it either. That meant either more talking, waving her bookmark through the air like a maniac, or both. Dryad was sure to tell their parents, and then she was in for it.
"Two little girls!" The false Santa turned and held his hand out to Dryad, revealing a small object wrapped in blue and yellow paper. "Would you like a present, my dear?"
Sylphie was in motion before the last word was out of his mouth. Institutions and insanity didn't matter in that moment. Figment or not, there was no way she was letting him get near her sister.
She sprinted across the room, envisioning energy flowing from her arm into the patterns on her bookmark.
She could feel the instant when it changed, when the edge started slicing through space itself and leaving an invisible gash hanging in the air. She pushed aside that awareness and focused on directing her swing at the false Santa.
The bookmark hit his red suit at the shoulder and passed through his shoulder and back and out his side without the slightest resistance. She hopped back, panting and keeping her weapon active while she watched.
He looked back over his shoulder at her, his face twisting into a snarl. Then black flame shot out of the slash down his back. It looked unspeakably violent, but it burned silently and without heat, eating away at the stranger's body until there was nothing left but the small present that fell to the floor with a thud.
Sylphie took a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to believe that they were safe now.
The word at her elbow made her jump to the side, although she managed not to strike out at her sister. "Dryad!" she scolded. Then she made a show of looking around the room. With a little luck, she could still make a convincing claim of sleepwalking.
"Did you… just kill Santa?"
Sylphie froze where she stood, then looked seriously at the younger girl. "You saw him too?" she asked.
"Sure," Dryad said. "And I saw you blow him up with black fire. But… nothing's burned, so maybe I was dreaming?"
Sylphie closed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, then caught her sister in a tight hug. "No," she said. "No, I saw him too. I saw the same thing you did."
I'm not insane! she thought, resisting the urge to pick Dryad up and dance around the room for joy. She saw him too! He was real! All of it was real!
A chill ran down her spine at that realization, and she opened her eyes again to peer around nervously.
"So what do we do with the presents?" Dryad asked, pulling out of her hug and reaching for the package that the false Santa had dropped.
Sylphie grabbed her wrist, stopping her before she could touch it. "We'll have to destroy it," she said. "There's no telling what sort of damage it's meant to do."
"What, all of them?"
She looked past Dryad, and finally noticed the big sack by the fireplace. It had tipped a little, spilling a handful of identical presents onto the floor, and it looked full to the brim of more of the same.
"All of them," she confirmed, trying to suppress the feeling of dread growing in the pit of her stomach. "It looks like it's going to be a long night."

Recent Progress on Hydroxyapatite-Based Dense Biomaterials for Load Bearing Bone Substitutes
Natasha A. Nawawi, Asep S.F. Alqap and Iis Sopyan
Pages 63-80 (18)
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the main mineral component of bone tissue, representing ca. 69 vol% in bone and up to 98 vol% in dental enamel. Its chemical composition close to the mineral phase of bone is the origin of its excellent biocompatibility to tissue bone. Hydroxyapatite has been applied in orthopaedics as block implants, porous, granules and coating material, either dense or porous. However, the application is restricted to non-load bearing application due to its brittleness and low toughness and flexural strength. With this, the development of bioactive dense HA is necessary as it has promising potential in application of load bearing bone implant. Few efforts have been made in developing many methods to produce dense HA. Some of the methods have been combined to prepare dense HA with improved properties. This paper will be discussing the recent progress on efforts which have been done in improving mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite-based dense type biomaterials for load bearing bone substitutes applications. Some recent patents related to dense calcium phosphate are also reviewed.

Tunica -- A T-shirt highlight reel
Future 15-game winner Montgomery Biscuits T-shirt
TUNICA, Miss. -- So the river comes and I pull out $30 in chips and am about to throw a pot bet out on the felt.
But I'm hesitant, I check-swing my bet, lower it and raise it up again to re-consider. It's heads up at Sam's Town's NL $1/2 table and I'm up against a gray hair in the 1 seat.
I decide to bet anyway. All of a sudden, the gray hair pours into the pot two black $100 chips, a $25 green chip and a handful of $5 chips. He's all-in.
These are the droids I'm looking for.
"I call -- I have a straight flush," I say, flipping over my 79 of clubs. I intuit that the gray hair has the A-high flush against my six-through-ten of clubs. But no, he has AT offsuit for a pair of tens.
All day it's been like this.
I hate being superstitious, but DAMN! My Montgomery Biscuits minor league baseball T-shirt is like the cotton version of Jeff Francoeur. Wearing it, I cashed money out of four casinos today to put me way up for the trip.
It's already been impressive in the minors -- I've worn it and have cashed money out of 17 home games, with only six losses this year.
Among the highlight reel:
--I have AQo with an A-high flush draw. I hit the nut flush on the turn against an opponent with TP on the flop.
--I have Presto (55) and hit my set and get paid.
--I raise with the hammer (72o) on the button and it becomes multi-way, 5 players. I bet out the flop when it comes to me and everyone folds.
--I flop a set on a scary coordinated board of 879 with two clubs. It becomes multi-way immediately and a guy who raised pre-flop has just decided to bet $30 and $40 at a time with everyone calling. My set holds up for a monster pot.
Not to end there, this evening when I was waiting to play at the Grand Casino, I put $1.50 into a video poker machine. In five spins, I hit quad Queens for another $20 from the 25-cent machine.
I've been looking for a starter like this, to complement my 15-game winners SPAM T-shirt and Sabre-toothed lime. An intimidating lineup for the next few trips to the Show (Vegas, May 10-13, Vegas, June 7-10).
It's a long season and you gotta trust it.
Biscuits, 1-0.

Summer NAMM: ReValver™ MKIII Launches to Critical Acclaim
June 20, 2008
NASHVILLE, Tenn.
(NAMM exhibit #2010
ReValver™ Mk III, the revolutionary virtual tube-amplifier software developed by a veteran tube-amp maker Peavey Electronics, has received high marks during its first round of reviews by some of the music-products industry's most respected software critics.
"In terms of sounding and feeling like a real amp, ReValver is easily the best software I've tried," wrote Michael Ross in the June 2008 issue of
. "I will stack ReValver against any other software, and more than a few boutique amps." In his June
Guitar Player
critique, he added, "At times, I forgot I was playing through software. ReValver's amp models might be the ones that make you leave the real thing at home."
Craig Anderton, accomplished musician and author of the classic how-to book "Home Recording for Musicians," profiled ReValver Mk III for
magazine's June issue.
"The buzz about ReValver Mk III is huge, and with good reason," he
. "The amp/speaker combinations have the
—not just the sound—of a tube amp, with undeniable authenticity."
Peavey ReValver Mk III is a revolutionary 64-bit amplifier modeling software that captures the true characteristics of vacuum tubes while allowing users unprecedented control over their tonality and gain structures.
ReValver Mk III models 15 of the world's most popular guitar amplifiers, including several Peavey amps, through an exclusive algorithm that analyzes the interactions of the components on the circuit level, based on the amps' original schematics. By controlling these amplifier models from the component level, ReValver is able to model every nuance with amazing accuracy, creating totally new capabilities where adventurous players can design their ultimate custom amps and speaker systems.
As advanced as ReValver's modeling algorithms are, operating the models can be as simple or in-depth as the user desires. The software GUI is instantly familiar and easy to use, with a drag-and-drop interface where users can add and subtract individual components and devices such as amplifiers, preamps, power amps, stomp boxes and effects.
Unlocking ReValver's groundbreaking customization tools is also easy. By right-clicking on an amp model, users can "go inside" and adjust the amp's tones and components on the Tweak Module GUI. This allows users to change, add or subtract tubes on all amplifier models, and then calibrate even the voltage parameters of those tubes. In all, users can program more than 15 features on each tube stage, with as many as 17 preamp and power tube types to choose from.
ReValver Mk III also features a robust stomp-box and effects section including various types of chorus, distortion, wah, tremolo, compression, limiter, delay, octaver and much more. A new FFT-based convolution reverb allows for very complex and smooth reverbs, including sampled spring reverb, and allows users to import their own .WAV samples. Models of Peavey 6505®, JSX®, Classic®, ValveKing® and Triple XXX® guitar amps are available in ReValver in software format.
Peavey ReValver Mk III is available now authorized Peavey retailers.

Modules in amp head, preamp and power amp formats
Two operation modes, with 64-bit and oversampling in HQ mode for hi-fi fanatics

text: After a few months I was diagnosed with 'suspicious' white spots on my larynx. The doctor wanted to do a biopsy. Since I had had these spots in my mouth & throat twice and they cleared up with an antifungal prescription I Googled the symptom. I found out that there have been reports of just that problem, spots on the larynx - some resulting in unnecessary treatment/surgery. I had to seek a second opinion but he & my GP agreed to give me oral steroids so I could take a break from the Advair. It worked - a laryngoscopy showed the spots had vanished! Unfortunately we found out I'm "dependent" on Advair...couldn't stay off it for long without ending up in the ER. My GP even called Glaxo-Smith Kline & was told there is no protocol for stopping. If you have severe asthma - please do whatever your doctor recommends but if you have a choice I would not recommend this.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Is there a way to reset my account ?!
Thank you.
Why would you want to restart? Everything can be changed.
Yes, I know that, but I just to start from the begin.
I don't think that's possible. But you can always make an account.
Well, I dont't want to make another account, so I have to keep playing with this save.
Try emailing the publisher Nexon, since the save data is on the server side.
I was going to play this game, but since I had to leave shortly after starting it the first time. Since there's NO WAY to repeat the tutorial, I guess I'm going to have to skip playing this one… and rate it similarly.
I also hate games where I can not reset. I have not played in a couple of months, and would like to start over, both for the tutorial, and to do things differently. Cant reset, so guess i wont play.

This is what you can find in game info: Published: 2012-09-19. Still 4 days before this game is 2 months old on Kong.
and to do things differently.
Except that there is nothing you can do that can't be undone (with one tiny cosmetic exception that doesn't affect gameplay in any way).
There is no such thing as tutorial here, only series of quest that ask you to do some basic stuff. No "click here to do that because you're obviously too retarded to figure out something as obvious as inventory button opening inventory". Not to mention that this game has its own chat room and two forums (here and official) where you can ask even basic stuff. There's also wiki. Let's face it, you're both hypocrites who are just looking for excuse to give this game poor rating.
Let's face it, you're both hypocrites who are just looking for excuse to give this game poor rating.
…Or possibly the same person…
at least they are only 99% of all people in the world
So nobody has managed to 'reset' it? I'm curious as well, since I would like to start over from the beginning.
you know, if u only want to restart to see the tutorial, there IS a facebook version to see it on…
I would also like to reset my game. Not for the tutorial but to start over. new people. new town. new experience.
What's the purpose in restarting? There's hardly anything you could do different a second time.
maybe he wants to do the croissant trick but has no more lvl 1 heroes in any class.
Make new Kong account: start Grinn.
Easy as pie.

2014 Z/28: The Baddest Camaro Ever
It costs more than a ZL1, has less horsepower, and only comes with one speaker. So why would you want a Z/28? Because its the most aggressive, driver-focused Camaro ever made. Oh, and its warrantied for driving on the track.
By Mike Austin
Widest. Tire. Ever.
305/30-ZR19 tires sit at all four corners and are the widest front tire ever put on a production car. The Pirelli Trofeo R rubber on the Z/28 is actually an off-the-shelf tire originally designed for Porsche racecars. GM Engineers went with a 19-inch diameter not only for weight savings, but also because the tire sidewall is stronger and results in more predictable handling. Cornering grip is said to be around 1.08 g. GM test driver Adam Dean (the hot shoe behind the wheel in the Nüburgring video) says they last about 70 to 80 laps on GMs track. Replacement is pricey. We found them online for $538 each.

Supply and Demand of Helium-3 (3He)
Please click here to request a quote for 3He.
Note: you will be redirected to the Linde website
where you will need to register before completing a quote request.
The Isotope Program fills critical needs for 3He in the United States. An earlier shortage has been mitigated.
The Department of Energy (DOE) has supplied isotopes and isotope-related services to the Nation and globally for more than 50 years. The sole supply of 3He stems from refurbishing and dismantling the nuclear stockpile. DOE's 3He is a byproduct of radioactive tritium decay and is separated during tritium processing at the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina. The DOE Isotope Development and Production for Research and Applications Program (Isotope Program), managed by the Office of Science for Nuclear Physics, is responsible for 3He sales and distribution, but not 3He extraction. Each year, thousands of liters of 3He gas are made available for government research, homeland security applications, highway construction quality control, and medical diagnostic procedures. Additional commercial purchasers, including the oil and gas exploration industry, can acquire 3He through an auction conducted by the Isotopes Program.
Demand as high as 70,000 liters per year was outpacing government supply in 2008. The increased demand was due to a substantial expansion in 3He use for neutron detectors in national security applications following the 2001 attacks. Increased demand was aggravated by an unexpected reduction of Russian exports to the marketplace. The Isotope Program leads the 3He Inter-Agency Group (IAG), a working group representing fourteen Federal agencies, including the Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and National Institutes of Health. This group addresses annual supply and demand projections, alternative technologies, priorities for federal 3He utilization, and allocating existing supply. As a result of mitigation measures established by the IAG, including new efficiencies, and deploying alternative technologies, projected demand for 3He is now below 10,000 liters per year. DOE and the IAG agree these mitigation measures will stay in place to assure federal 3He needs continue to be met for decades to come. Federal programs taking action to transition to available alternative technologies should continue on that course.
Please click here to request a quote for 3He. Note: you will be redirected to the Linde website where you will need to register before completing a quote request.
For more information and questions, please contact Mr. Joel Grimm, Program Manager, Stable Isotopes and Accountable Material, Office of Nuclear Physics, Office of Science, at 301-903-2525, or email to email@example.com.

MESSAGE FROM HOME. A while back – right after I wrote a column blasting Delta, the Airport Authority and Garage Gargantua – I was invited to tour the airport and learn a thing or two or 50 about where so much of what and where we are takes off and lands every day.
The city of Memphis will ask popular ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft to cease and desist operations until they acquire city permits.

Two teaspoons per gallon. That is Don's recipe for improved plant health.
Two teaspoons of white vinegar per gallon of water is what Don Campbell, a local cactus and succulent expert, recommends to use to water these plants. The vinegar drops the pH of the water to about 4.5. While this is on the high side of acid, it is a great pH for most houseplants whether they are succulents or not.
Lowering the pH of the water helps release nutrients and improves the overall health of the root system. Some potting mixes, especially mixes used for cactus and some succulents, are very well drained. These soils typically have low levels of plant-available phosphorus. Lowering the pH of the water helps release phosphorus for plant's use. Lowering the pH too far can release aluminum and other micronutrients in quantities that can be toxic to the plant. Acid-loving plants like gardenia, rhododendron, and Easter lily can tolerate and even benefit from a lower pH so adding more white vinegar to the water for these plants is recommended.
Don suggests using the vinegar and water mix every time you water your houseplants. In the spring when days are longer and nutrients are in more demand, house plant fertilizer can be added to the vinegar and water solution. Don't use more of the fertilizer than recommended on the product label; fertilizer is a salt and salt kills roots.
Neglecting to water your plants during the winter will also result in root death. Unless you maintain a high humidity in your home, houseplants dry out much quicker in the winter than during the summer. You can probe the soil with your finger, use a soil moisture probe, or lift the pot to determine if you need to water. The smaller pots will usually need to be watered more frequently so don't forget to check them more often than the plants in large pots.
When you water your pots, ensure sufficient water is applied to run out the holes in the bottom of the pot. Even then you may not have wet the soil sufficiently. At times the soil will pull away from the pot creating a gap that allows water to run out of the pot without wetting the soil. Peter told me he waters his houseplants by soaking them in a bucket full of water. I've done the same thing in my bathtub. When air bubbles quit escaping the soil in the pot, the soil has been thoroughly soaked. Don't allow the pot to stay in the bucket any longer or root death can occur. Using the bucket-watering technique can result in the spread of root diseases from one pot to another but may be necessary if the soil is not being wet sufficiently to ensure the health of the plant.-
When you water from the top, apply sufficient water to wet the soil and then apply the same amount of water to leach salts out of the pot. You don't have to do this if you use the bucket-soak technique. Unless you use distilled or reverse osmosis water, you apply salt every time you water your plants. These salts will accumulate in the soil if you don't wash them into the saucer. To keep the salty water in the saucer from being sucked back into the pot as the soil dries, you need to empty the saucer of its of water, or use a trivet or other device to raise the pot above the water that accumulates in the saucer.
One of my cactus-like succulents, a red Euphorb, Euphorbia trigona rubra, had a fungus called Fusarium spreading along its main stem. This fungus was also starting to infect some of the arms of this succulent plant. I took the plant to the last month's meeting of the Chinle Cactus and Succulent Society and offered a piece of the plant to anyone interested in adopting. Don cut arms off this three-foot tall plant for anyone wanting to take home a cutting. Each cutting was checked first to ensure it was free of the fungus.-
This Euphorb oozes a white latex fluid to which some people are very allergic. Each cutting was wrapped in paper to transport it home and protect the adoptee from coming in contact with this ooze. -
Before the cutting could be rooted it needed to cure for up to 10 days or longer and then stuck into a pot of soil to root. With time, each cuttings will reach the height of the original plant and be a beautiful accent plant in the home.

NCSL's election experts break down the midterm state legislative elections along voters' verdict on statewide ballot measures.
Current Issue
So far in the 2013 sessions, 47 states have introduced 411 measures addressing pretrial policy. In addition, 48 bills from New Jersey carried over from 2012. Of the 460 pieces of pretrial legislation that have been active during 2013, nine have been enacted or adopted. The issues focused on in 2013 legislation continue to follow trends of 2012, with release eligibility and specific bail conditions, pretrial services and commercial bond being addressed most often.
This legislative overview is the second in a series reporting on pending and enacted state pretrial legislation. Building upon the first report, this edition discusses the landscape of new 2013 legislation and wraps up 2012 actions.
To find the full text of measures referenced, please visit NCSL's webpage with links to individual state legislation searches. When searching, please note that some of the bills included are carried over from previous sessions. Those measures are identified with a year following the bill number in text. All pieces of legislation included in this overview were active during 2013 state legislative sessions. All legislative action is current through March 17, 2013.
Of the nine measures passed into law during 2013, seven were bills and two were resolutions. Virginia enacted four new laws, three of which address procedure in pretrial processes. Virginia HB 1311 and Virginia SB 1118 enable courts to suspend the impact of their bail decision if a defendant is appealing bail to a higher court, while Virginia SB 1135 provides authority for courts to either require or excuse defendants from appearing in court when granting continuances.
Two of the other enactments in Arkansas and Idaho address aspects of commercial bond. Arkansas HB 1086 provided an operating budget for the state's Professional Bail Bondsman Licensing Board for fiscal year 2013-2014. Idaho SB 1016 removed language from the state's code that had previously enabled a bail agent to prove he or she was licensed based on their filed copy with a clerk of the District Court.P
Bills addressing eligibility and conditions for pretrial release are the most common among pretrial legislation before states early this year. Legislation addressing crimes with firearms, and how they impact pretrial procedure, is pending in at least 10 states. Measures in Minnesota contain language that would require courts placing defendants accused of crimes of violence, including enumerated firearms crimes, in pretrial diversion programs to provide the defendant's information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Tennessee and Vermont are considering bills that address firearms as a factor in release decisions and bail conditions. A California proposal would require that a pretrial investigative report be prepared prior to a court releasing any defendant charged with a violent felony, including a gun crime, on their own recognizance. The current bill would require an evidence-based pretrial risk assessment that evaluates and reports the defendant's probability of appearing at trial and his or her potential risk to public safety. Pretrial reforms related to use of risk assessment and evaluative reports are seen in pending legislation in other states, including Colorado, Hawaii, Maryland and West Virginia. Other introduced legislation in early 2013 addresses commercial bonding and pretrial services, as well as pretrial matters related to domestic violence cases, victim's issues or procedure related to undocumented immigrants. Several states also have bills pending related to citation in lieu of arrest.
Forty states considered 404 bills and resolutions that addressed pretrial release policy in 2012. Of those measures, 117 were enacted or adopted and 48 bills, all from New Jersey, were carried over to 2013. Please refer to the 2012 Legislative Action map for a geographical and statistical breakdown of these measures and their final disposition. Since the previous report, two of the formerly pending 82 measures have been enacted.

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feeling as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in it's beauty." - Albert Einstein
