One lucky goat has escaped a slaughterhouse for life thanks to his own will to live, and the help of the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. YNN's Alexandra Weishaupt caught up with shelter volunteers who say the five-year-old fugitive is now well on the road to recovery after his recent ordeal.
WILLOW, N.Y. -- Wilfred is adjusting to his new life at the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary after a wild night in New York City. "He's still nervous which is healthy really because that's what's kept him alive," said Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary Manager Sheila Hyslop.
Just a week ago he was running for his life. He's believed to be a slaughterhouse escapee, found racing through the busy streets of Brooklyn, having been chased down by police. He was eventually hog-tied by a former African goat herder in a hospital parking lot, and was taken into custody in the back of a patrol car.
Luckily for Wilfred, volunteers at the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary caught wind of his plight, quickly rescuing him from a city shelter and bringing him about two hours north to safety.
"He's next to pigs and he's not so sure about his noisy roommates, but he's doing okay," said Hyslop.
His new family says they're now working to nurse the underweight animal back to health in the hopes he'll join the rest of the goats in a few weeks time.
"He is getting to know us all. He's taken a carrot from somebody's hand, he's enjoying his grain and his hay and I personally believe deep down he knows he's in a good place," said Hyslop.
They say they also look to remove the tags in his ears, freeing him entirely from his previous path of despair. "He'll never have to face a butcher's block. We know enough about slaughterhouses to know that it wasn't a good time, and hopefully here now he will have one of the best lives a goat can have," said Hyslop.
And with the Big Apple behind him, a quiet life here in the country.
Folks are welcome to pay Wilfred a visit when visitor season begins in April, or sponsor him as the facility is runs entirely on donations.

#50Books2013, don't forget that I will be posting a round-up of everyone's progress at the end of the month, & links to some of your reviews. If you would like to, email me links to your posts (details on contact page) for them to be included.
As I said before, there will be no set day to link up - just post & link as and when and then I will do a little monthly round-up and share your reviews and anything else you would like to add. I aim to post the round-up around 28th-30th of the month so if you can get your posts to me by the 26th/27th at the latest that would be great. You don't even have to review the books if you don't want to, just write a list of what you've read if you like! It's up to you, there are no rules. If you don't manage to get your post to me, I've decided to add a linky widget at the bottom of the round-up so you can add all of your reviews there.
I won't be going into great detail about the plots of the books as I'd hate to spoil them for anyone else who wants to read them, so I'll be keeping mostly to just sharing my opinion on them rather than describing what happens, for the benefit of others.
Book 4 - The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult
As expected from JP, this is a heavy & deeply unsettling story about the rape of a 14 year old girl, told mostly from the perspective of her father. It is captivating & highly emotional and it really struck a chord with me, as the mother of a 14 year old girl myself. Moving and thought-provoking.
Book 5 - Between The Lines by Jodi Picoult & Samantha Van Leer
I bought this for A for her birthday last year, as she is also a fan of JP and I thought as this is a YA novel it would appeal to her. This first foray into YA for JP is a collaboration with her teenage daughter, and this is a really sweet fairytale that will definitely appeal to the teen readers. A pleasant story with a happy ending, but not something that will necessarily call to fans of JP's usual offering.
Book 6 - Soul Seekers - Fated by Alyson Noel
Another of A's YA novels that I have swiped, and to my surprise I really enjoyed it. Of the paranormal genre, Fated is the first book in AN's new series, Soul Seekers which introduces us to Daire Lyons-Santos & her life as a soul seeker. Vivid descriptions that really set the scene and an original plot, I thought it was a good book with an interesting premise and I am keen to continue and read the rest of the series to see where AN takes it.
Book 7 - Soul Seekers - Echo by Alyson Noel
After finishing Fated I had to download Echo and I'm pleased to say that I wasn't disappointed, though I was a little confused by the end and I am rather intrigued to find out what happens next. Echo is the second instalment of the Soul Seekers series & follows Daire as she discovers more about her powers as learns how to use & control them to overcome the evil from the darker characters in the story. It's not a literary masterpiece but it is enjoyable.

well done on all those books - you'll be at 50 in no time. I think I've managed about 4 so far, but am thinking that I will stick with it and just see how many I can do in a year, but enough them rather than read quickly just for the sake of it. We did visit the library today so i am well stocked up!

Living Healthy on WKTV.com: Local News
Students get hands-on learning of medical field at MASH Camp
Story Updated: Jun 25, 2013
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - School has not been out for a week yet, but local students are keeping their skills sharp while getting hands-on learning about the medical field.
On Tuesday, students from Utica, Rome, Herkimer, Waterville, New Hartford and all over the Mohawk Valley kicked off a two-day shadow program at St. Elizabeth Medical Center.
It's called MASH Camp, which stands for Medical Academy of Science and Health.
The students got a look inside the hospital as well as got the opportunity to ask questions about what it is like to be a nurse. The mission is to let the students experience the field so they can decide if it is a career they may wish to pursue.
"This give them a chance to kind of enjoy the medical center and get an idea if they want to go into medicine," said Samantha Rouiller, Enrollment Manager Assistant. "It introduces them to the ER, the OR, helicopter ambulance, kind of get their feet wet when it comes to medicine."

Mandatory Euthanasia
Ferris Animal Control
Mandatory Euthanasia
Mayor Pro Tem:
'It was a shock factor'
The Ellis County Press
FERRIS – A mandatory euthanasia policy placed in effect immediately by the city has resulted in a overwhelming outcry by residents, producing a mixed frenzy.
The memo handed to Misty Clark, animal control officer, said that she is to hold the animals for the minimum of three days required by law and then immediately euthanize them.
Mayor Pro Tem and temporary City Manager Bill Pardue, said he placed that mention in the memo given to Clark as a "shock factor."
"Misty is an animal lover. She does a really good job at what she does, which is rescuing and adopting animals out, but she really needs to focus on patrolling too," said Pardue.
"Our facility wasn't made to be a rescue shelter."
Clark hasn't been told of any changes to the mandatory killings.
"I have been hearing different things all over but, I have only received the one letter and right now as it stands, I have only three days till I have to put them [the animals] down,"said Clark.
Tim Rawlings,city building official, had a visit with Pardue and Clark separately.
"Tim came and spoke with me this morning and wanted me to come up with the number of days [to keep them],"said Clark.
Pardue explained there was a mention in the letter sent out with changes which can be made to the new policy within 15 days of notice.
"The council wanted harsh action and at one point or another, wanted to get rid of the animal control all together, they had the votes to do it too.
"The city is no dog killer, but no rescue center either," said Pardue.
Pardue feels the need to take a grasp on the city and represent the more professional side of business.
"That's the reason I ran for office in the first place, I saw what sort of leadership needed to be present in this town."
Pardue, along with Red Oak Councilman Ben Goodwyn, City Manager Tim Kelty and Director of Public Works Charles Brewer had a meeting to discuss the possibly of teaming up with Red Oak for a shelter to be strictly focused on adoption.
"We would work out something with them [City of Red Oak] to where they could either come pick the animals up from us and we pay per animal or work out an annual fee or something.
"This is a long term solution that everyone can benefit from."

El Nino this year will probably be weak, potentially reducing the impact of the event which typically brings drought to parts of Asia and rains to South America, said Commodity Weather Group LLC and AccuWeather Inc.
The chance of a weak pattern is 65 percent and the odds of a moderate one are 35 percent, said David Streit, CWG's co-founder. The probability of a weak event is 80 percent, said Dale Mohler, a forecaster at AccuWeather. Streit and Mohler have been meteorologists for three decades.
El Ninos can roil world agricultural markets as farmers contend with dry weather or too much rain. Forecasters from the U.S. to the United Nations have warned that the event could happen this year, and Australia's Bureau of Meteorology said last month the pattern may develop by August. ABN Amro Group NV says confirmation would bolster coffee, sugar and cocoa futures.
"It's still a tough call on whether this will remain weak or reach moderate" levels, Streit from Bethesda, Maryland-based CWG said in an e-mail to Bloomberg. A weak event is more likely because of the weakening of the warm pool of water below the surface of the Pacific Ocean and "the difficulty in getting the trade winds to weaken significantly," he said.
El Ninos, caused by the periodic warming of the tropical Pacific, occur irregularly every two to seven years and are associated with warmer-than-average years. The last El Nino was from 2009 to 2010, and since then the Pacific has either been in its cooler state, called La Nina, or neutral.
Weak Intensity
While the Standard & Poor's GSCI index of eight agricultural commodities climbed 10 percent this year, it's declined 8.6 percent from an 11-month high at the start of May on signs of increasing world grain supplies.
El Nino will probably "set in during July and last six to eight months," said Mohler from AccuWeather. "It should be of weak to perhaps moderate intensity."
In 1997-1998, the strongest El Nino on record back to 1950 helped push the global mean temperature in 1998 up 1.2 degrees to what was then an all-time high of 58.1 degrees Fahrenheit (15 Celsius), according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The event in 2006-2007 caused droughts in the Asia-Pacific region, more than halving Australia's wheat output and hurting Indonesia's coffee harvest.
The probability of an El Nino is around 85 percent and the event should develop by late June, said Donald Keeney, a meteorologist at MDA Weather Services in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The chance of a weak pattern is 35 percent, for a moderate one 50 percent and a strong one 15 percent, he said.
There are signs an El Nino is imminent, presaging changes to global weather patterns, the UN's World Meteorological Organization said April 15. The U.S. Climate Prediction Center said May 8 that the chances of El Nino developing during the Northern Hemisphere summer exceed 65 percent.

President Barack Obama prepared to deliver a speech on the economy Tuesday, using the backdrop of a high-technology facility in Albany created out of a partnership with private enterprise and bipartisanship. Beside him through much of the visit will be Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who made jobs and the economy part of his "new Democrat" movement in his campaign in 2010. Cuomo also shows a Democratic executive can forge a fiscally conservative agenda and work closely with Republicans, something with the president has struggled with in Washington. "This Presidential appearance proves by inference what is wrong in Washington, by showing what is right in Albany," said Bruce Gyory, consultant to governors and a political science professor at the University at Albany. – WSJ

Solar Transportation
Zipping along at a top speed of less than 35 miles per hour, solar-electric-powered golf or work carts are helping park and recreation departments save money while reducing their carbon footprint. The carts–using a cross between solar and electric power–serve almost every purpose as those of gas-powered carts, including for golfers, food and beverage, maintenance crews, security vehicles, housekeeping, transportation and even emergencies. That last item might sound somewhat contradictory (Who wants to travel to the emergency room in a vehicle that is considered low-speed?). But a solar-electric emergency vehicle fitted with foam tires is able to reach otherwise "inaccessible" locations in disaster situations while its heavier cousins have to wait for debris to be cleared.
Benefits Of Sun Suckers
A solar-electric cart can be recharged merely by parking it in a sunny spot for a day. "With our solar tops, solar-electric vehicles can run between five and ten miles on just the energy collected from the sun," says Mary Anne Bowie, sustainability leader for EcoTrans Alliance, a source for renewable solar-energy transportation and management solutions. "This can allow for people to have a zero carbon footprint."
Solar panels reduce the draw-down on a battery by constantly charging it (at least on sunny days). In the process, the battery life increases from an average of 2.5 years to 3.3 years. "Solar panels reduce operating costs," says Bowie. "With a solar panel, you can drive about 1,825 miles a year for free, if you are driving five miles per day. This equals a savings of $275 per year on gasoline, based on $3 per gallon and 20 miles per gallon." With a plug-in electric vehicle, the solar savings can be about $25 to $35 per year in base electric fees; the figure doesn't include fuel charges.
Solar Money Saver
You can purchase a solar-electric golf cart or amend existing electric golf and work carts to include solar-photovoltaic panels, which charge the deep-cycle battery. If the existing battery is in good condition, there is no need to purchase a new one. Electric carts are usually equipped with a 36- or 48-volt battery. To best charge the battery, the equivalent voltage in panels can be mounted in a steel frame on the canopy of the cart.
Since canopy space is usually limited, creative solutions are needed to meet the voltage requirements. As a result, three 12-volt panels are connected in a series for a total of 36 volts, or four 12-volt panels are connected in a series for 48 volts. To prevent the battery from becoming overcharged, a charge controller is located between the solar panels and the battery.
Typically, the cost of conversion ranges between $250 and $1,000, depending on the voltage needed. The conversion takes one to two hours, depending on the skill level of the installer. "It can be installed either by a dealership or by the owner of the vehicle. It is a fairly simple install," says Bowie.
But how far will those solar panels take you down the road? "You can't drive the cart forever because you are not putting energy into the battery at the same rate you are taking it out," says John Ervin, product solutions specialist with Solar Direct, an alternative-energy company. "The more hours you run it per day, the more time you are going to need to spend recharging the batteries."
Street Legal
Speaking of driving, what if you need to go from one location to another using city or county roads? The cart can be converted to become street-legal. Low-speed vehicles can travel at 35 miles per hour or less if outfitted with specific safety features, such as lights, seatbelts, mirrors and warning signs. Before heading out on the open road, be sure you are complying with state and local regulations.

Leadership By Example
Dr. Christopher Thurber is a board-certified clinical psychologist, father and author of The Summer Camp Handbook, now available online for free at SummerCampHandbook.com. He is the co-creator of ExpertOnlineTraining.com, a set of Internet-based video training modules for camp counselors, nurses and doctors. He can be reached via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com
———————————————- Sidebar———————————————-
Sample Letter
Three reasons to lead by example on Facebook and other Web sites:
1. Campers
2. Parents
3. Future employers
Please take a minute to reflect on the wonderful example we set for campers every summer. Think about all the care that staff members put into preserving the purity of our camp's spirit. Members don't swear in front of campers; camp policy forbids alcohol or other drugs in camp; members even hide their cell phones so that campers' thoughts don't turn to returning home. We go to all this trouble because we believe that our example and our image should be wholesome. As your director, I feel that we need to work harder to extend that effort across all seasons and into cyberspace.
Posting photos or other content that depicts drinking, smoking or behaviors not suited for campers' eyes sends a confusing and upsetting message to them and their parents. This winter, campers who thought they knew their counselors and cabin leaders, and understood what camp stands for, have written to me, saddened to have discovered something different.
Let's face it. Curious campers–the same ones who worship you during the summer–will Google your name and search for you on Facebook. They're not stalking you. They really care about you, and they want to extend their connection. It shatters their image of you, and of camp, to see you engaged in unhealthy, risky or adult-only behaviors. I'm asking all camp staff members–past, present and future–to take three simple steps toward better online leadership-by-example:
1. Please remove inappropriate photos or other content from your Facebook page, including content that others have posted. Ask your friends to remove inappropriate content in which you are tagged.
2. Post only photos or other content that you would be proud to have a camper or his or her parents see. Staff members do many interesting and inspiring things in the off-season. Share those adventures in appropriate ways online.
3. If you do post adult content, create friend groups in your profile. Then, alter the privacy settings for your different groups so that access to adult content is restricted to adult friends who know you well. Be sure that casual browsers who find you online do not have access to that content.
As you know, I receive a great deal of wonderful praise from parents and campers about the fantastic work you do. Naturally, it pains me to receive even a handful of e-mails and letters from distressed campers and parents who have been exposed to a different side of camp and its staff. Thank you for making a more complete, year-round effort to set a wholesome example, both online and in-person.

Appliance maker Whirlpool Corp., Tecumseh, and other companies have received subpoenas in a global investigation into possible price-fixing of compressors.
Whirlpool said it received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice, as did Tecumseh Products Co.
"The Antitrust Division is investigating the possibility of anti-competitive practices in the compressor industry," a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Justice said. "We are coordinating with other foreign competition authorities."
Additionally, Brazil's federal police said in a statement it had served six search warrants in Sao Paulo and Santa Catarina states to gather evidence of an alleged cartel in cooling compressors. Nearly 60 federal police agents, Justice ministry antitrust officials and state prosecutors took part.
In a statement, Whirlpool said it "has a strong corporate code of conduct, which requires full compliance with all applicable antitrust and competition laws. It will cooperate fully with the investigations. To the Company's knowledge, there have been no charges filed against the company or any of its employees." It also noted that the European Commission said, "The fact that the Commission carries out such inspections does not mean that the companies are guilty of anti-competitive behaviour; nor does it prejudge the outcome of the investigation itself."
Tecumseh Products said it will cooperate with the investigation as well, and it does not expect the inquiries to affect its operations or ability to compete in any material way.

ATV Adventure weeks in Romania with Martin Freinademetz
Soft hill landscapes with evergreen meadows wherever you look. Never ending forests with long, free cutting forest tracks. You admire the rough, impressive rock walls of the Carpathian Mountains and their rocky, narrow paths, climbing in serpents up in the mountain. The off-road paradise Romania offers modestly a great experience in nature, something you can hardly find in Europe. The snowboard legend Martin Freinademetz has driven thousands of kilometers in the last 10 years around Sibiu, Alba and Hunedoara and knows this part of the Carpathians like no one else. For the multiple winner of snowboard Pro-Tour and double snowboard world champion, the off-road sport from snow-mobile to the 6x6 truck was the preferred training of coordination and balance. The training soon grew into passion, and Martin tested his limits in international hardcore competitions like Erzberg and the Roof of Africa with respectable results. In the winter of 1990 Freinademetz made his first experience with ATV's in the dunes of the Baja California in Mexico. Today, he uses the ATV as a tool, to supply his remote cottages during hard weather but also to have fun in the wilderness of the Carpathians.
Appointments only for groups on request.
ATV around Sibiu
Sibiu is the ideal starting point for investigation drives around the site. The entire region around Sibiu is in continuous improvement and because Sibiu will be in 2007 the European Cultural Capital, everywhere you look, there are modernization and improvement works in full development. The restaurants and the night life is perfectly adapted to middle-European standards. But if you drive out of the city, for about 20 km, you feel as if time has lapsed back for 50 years. The plough is still worked with bulls and on the meadows you can see grazing sheep. After talking to local authorities, the drivers are very welcome here. The site and the roads are of different quality and difficulty; every rider will find what he likes.
- 5 Pers: 530 Euro / PERSON
- 4 Pers: 550 Euro / PERSON
- 1 Pers: 680 Euro
Performances – Tours in Sibiu
- Tour with professional attendance in small groups
- 6 nights spent in double bedrooms with breakfast
- Mechanics / spare part service in Sibiu

|Antiques Digest
|Browse Auctions
Egyptian Painting And Colour Decoration
PAINTING, as we understand the word, in which is expressed the gradation of tones of colour, the juxtaposition of harmonious tints, perspective, and the rendering of light and shade effects, was never really understood by the ancient Egyptians.
Chaldean And Assyrian Painting And Decoration
Although stone was plentiful in Assyria its use in the buildings was confined to the portal figures, dadoes, plinths, lower wall linings, and pavements. The main structural mass of their buildings consisted, like those of the Chaldæans, of bricks and mortar.
Ancient Persian Painting And Decoration
THE architecture, sculpture, and decorative motives of Ancient Persian art were hardly indigenous to that country, which geographically is known as the plateau of Iran.
Grecian And Roman Colouring And Painting
THE polychromatic decoration of the Greek temples in the Classic period was a development of the earlier colour application to the buildings of primitive Greece. Many fragments of painted plaster and other evidences of colour decoration from the halls and palaces of Tiryns, Mycenæ, and Thera have been brought to light during the excavations carried out by MM. Schliemann, Dôrpfeld, and others in 1885.
Later Roman Art
ROMAN art was already in its decadence before the end of the Empire, and Christianity itself, together with the invasion of Italy by the Germanic races, were the chief factors in the transformation and decline.
FROM the fourth century, or even earlier, mosaic became the chief decoration of all religious edifices, but all the picture subjects of these mosaics were not of the sacred order, for we find that from the date of the early Christian buildings, through many subsequent centuries, the influence of antique art both as to subject and technique is clearly apparent.
Byzantine And Romanesque Miniature Painting
The latter century was chiefly noted for the production of plentiful work in small objects of art, such as miniatures, ivory carvings, enamels, metal-work, and small portable mosaics.
Celtic Illumination
The object of the foregoing consideration of illuminated manuscripts was an attempt to explain the position they held in relation to the development of Italian painting, but there is another great class of illuminated manuscripts, the Irish Celtic Books of the Gospels and Psalters, so distinctive from the Byzantine and Roman manuscripts that they demand here a few words of description.
Technical Methods Of Tempera Painting
Tempera painting, either on wood or on canvas, was the favourite method of the Italian painters from the earliest times up to the adoption of oil painting in Italy, and was carried to great perfection in the works of Ghirlandaio (1449–1494) and Botticelli (1444 ?-1510).
Encaustic Painting
ENCAUSTIC, or wax-painting, and the fixing or finishing of the same by the application of heat, was practised by the ancient Greeks and Romans, as one of the methods of painting on panels and on walls.
Wall Painting In Fresco
For a list of the colours that may be safely used in fresco, and for further information on this subject the reader is referred to the author's treatise on Fresco Painting, Its Art and Technique, 1909, where the system of the modern Spirit Fresco is also described.
Artist's Pigments
THE pigments used by the ancients were mostly derived from native earths and minerals, and were very few in number. Mention has been made in regard to these in the early chapters of this work, when treating of ancient polychromy and painting.
Modern Artist's Pigments
Artists of today have the advantage of a more extended palette than the old painters had. Some, however, may say that this is a doubtful advantage, but it cannot be denied that in addition to our still possessing the best of the old colours, there are quite a number of even more permanent ones, notably of green and yellow pigments, which chemists have added to the modern artist's colour box.
Varnishes And Oleo-Resinous Media
ONE of the oldest kinds of varnish was the oleo-resinous vehicle known under the name of Vernice Liquida, and was probably of the same nature as that used on the oldest, as well as the more modern, tempera pictures as a finishing coating to protect the tempera colours.
Oil Painting
The particular method of painting discovered and practised by the Van Eycks was not oil painting, in the modern sense of the term, but was really a form of varnish painting, where an oleo-resinous vehicle was employed as the medium in which the dry pigments were ground.

Nov 15, 2013 9:06 AM
PASCAGOULA, Miss. - Authorities were investigating the cause of an early Friday explosion and fire at a southern Mississippi refinery that killed one worker and injured another.
Allan Sudduth, spokesman for Chevron in Mississippi, said the incident happened in the Cracking II Processing Unit around 2 a.m.
"There was a detonation and fire in that unit," Sudduth said.
The cracking unit is used in the process of converting crude into fuel.
"We are on the scene right now assessing it and we are cooperating with local, state and federal employees," Sudduth said. "That's part of our response plan."
Sudduth said the family of the person who was killed has been notified and the person's name was to be released later Friday. Sudduth said the dead man was a Chevron employee and not a contractor.
Sudduth said a second worker was injured during the incident and was treated at the scene and released.
About 30 firefighters and police officers responded to the overnight fire. Many of them remained at the front gate, just in case Chevron's fire teams needed assistance in one of its processing units.
Jackson County Emergency Services Director Earl Etheridge said fire units from Pascagoula, Jackson County and the Forts Lake Volunteer Fire Department responded to offer backup support to Chevron's fire crews and that all the flames have been extinguished.
"We have a response plan in case of an incident at Chevron and we followed that plan," Etheridge said. "All we do is supply support and protect outside the fence line."
Etheridge said Chevron's response crew determined there's no additional danger to the surrounding community.
"They did some air monitoring for us and determined there's not going to be an environmental impact outside the area where the fire was, so there's no threat to the water or public," he said.

Black Devil Timing For Get The Timing (Kerrier District Rmx)
- Words: Craig Richards
- Label: Rephlex
Diverse electronic wizard Luke Vibert gives this late '70s disco oddity the Kerrier District treatment. It's an extraordinary journey sensitively constructed using live instrumentation and early synthesizers. In a world increasingly dominated by tight, computer-generated sounds, the looseness and innocence of this kind of composition seems very appealing and, ultimately, human.

I had a fuel injector failure (engine light came on, car shuddered). I was advised today that the fuel injectors have been replaced, and the spark plugs have been replaced, but the car still is not running correctly. Now they are testing to see if the valves have been damaged due to the large amount of fuel dumped into my engine. This vehicle has less than 16k miles on it. Is this going to effect the vehicle in the future?

Thanks. I heard back from the service advisor. They are opening a case with Porsche because one of the cylinders is running low pressure. He thinks due to the low mileage there is a 50/50 chance they will just replace the entire engine.

A convicted felon who had strong family ties, a stake in the community, and an education might get probation, while a man who had few family ties, little stake in the community, and little education might draw a ten-year sentence for the same crime.Joseph Robinette
Any law that takes hold of a mans daily life cannot prevail in a community, unless the vast majority of the community are actively in favor of it. The laws that are the most operative are the laws which protect life.Henry Ward Beecher
Can we find nothing good to say about TV? Well, yes, it brings scattered solitaries into a sort of communion. TV allows your isolated American to think that he participates in the life of the entire country. It does not actually place him in a community, but his heart is warmed with the suggestion (on the whole false) that there is a community somewhere in the vicinity and that his atomized consciousness will be drawn back toward the whole.Saul Bellow
The prestige of the Nobel Prize is due to many causes, but in particular to its twofold idealistic and international character: idealistic in that it has been designed for works of lofty inspiration; international in that it is awarded after the production of different countries has been minutely studied and the intellectual balance sheet of the whole world has been drawn up. Free from all other considerations and ignoring any but intellectual values, the judges have deliberately taken their place in what the philosophers have called a community of the mind.Henri-Louis Bergson
The principle of utility judges any action to be right by the tendency it appears to have to augment or diminish the happiness of the party whose interests are in question... if that party be the community the happiness of the community, if a particular individual, the happiness of that individual.Jeremy Bentham
We started off trying to set up a small anarchist community, but people wouldn't obey the rules.Alan Bennett
I think democracy is the most revolutionary thing in the world, because if you have power you use it to meet the needs of you and your community.Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn
The real community of man, in the midst of all the self-contradictory simulacra of community, is the community of those who seek the truth, of the potential knowers, that is, in principle, of all men to the extent they desire to know. But in fact this includes only a few, the true friends, as Plato was to Aristotle at the very moment they were disagreeing about the nature of the good. Their common concern for the good linked them; their disagreement about it proved they needed one another to understand it. They were absolutely one soul as they looked at the problem. This, according to Plato, is the only real friendship, the only real common good.Allan David Bloom
Professors represented an unsatisfactory halfway house between the two harsh disciplines that make a man seriouscommunity and solitude.Allan David Bloom
I am not against the provision of the necessary medical assistance to Coloured and natives, because, unless they receive that medical aid, they become a source of danger to the European community.Pieter Willem Botha
While the easiest way in metaphysics is to condemn all metaphysics as nonsense, the easiest way in morals is to elevate the common practice of the community into a moral absolute.Daniel J. Boorstin
I presume the reason for this gathering is that all of us here Muslims, Jews, Christians all are searching our souls for how to better serve our family, our community, our nation, our God.Paul David Hewson

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - A prosecutor says he'll dismiss a firearms charge against a man who contends he was following the advice of Vice President Joe Biden when he fired a shotgun in the air to chase off intruders.
Jeffrey C. Barton had been scheduled for trial next week on the misdemeanor, The Columbian reported (http://bit.ly/1uX0k3G ).
Barton will instead face a charge of obstructing a police officer, Clark County Prosecutor Tony Golik said Tuesday.
Barton, 53, acknowledges firing the gun in July 2013 to chase away three men who appeared to be breaking into his vehicles in Vancouver.
He planned the so-called "Biden defense," based on a statement the vice president made in February 2013 that people don't need automatic weapons because shooting a shotgun in the air would scare off intruders.
Golik doubts a jury would be persuaded beyond a reasonable doubt that Barton violated the law.
"A person, even in a no-shooting zone, still has the right to defend their person or their property," Golik said. "In this case, based on the facts, there is a reasonable argument that Mr. Barton may have been defending his person and property when he fired in the air."
Barton said the obstruction charge also is groundless.
"Tony Golik is desperately grasping at straws" to keep out of a civil suit, Barton said. "They have to charge me with something; they've let this go on too long."
His trial is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 24.

zx5000 BIOS support USB boot?
Can anyone tell me if the HP zx5000's BIOS supports booting from a USB drive? I've read the zt3000 does support this. Thanks in advance.

Any current unit that doesn't have a built-in floppy drive, will allow for USB booting. The only floppy drives that you can use on these units will be USB. Just enable the feature in the BIOS (USB Legacy Support), but by doing so, you disable USB 2.0 functionality until Legacy Support is disabled.

Interesting; I didn't know that. So for the rare "emergency" boot, you'll need to temporarily disable USB 2. Thanks for the tip.
Now, how about booting from a PC card (PCMCIA) drive? I have an IBM 8GB drive, and thought it would be handy to be able to boot from it if I had to. Do the BIOSes of these HP models I mentioned (zx5000, zt3000) support booting from PCMCIA?

KOMPONG THOM, 177km from Phnom Penh (and slightly closer to Siem Reap), straggles along National Route 6 and the Stung Sen River. The town used to be known as kompong pos thom, "place of the big snake", apparently because the locals used to take offerings to a large snake that lived in a cave on the river, though this may be yet another Cambodian myth as no one now has a clue where the cave is. Most visitors stop over just long enough to get to the temples at Sambor Prei Kuk, 30km northeast; a couple of hours is quite enough to have a look around the town itself. Kompong Thom is also a possible jumping-off point for the remote Preah Vihear, two days' journey to the north, though access is now easier from Siem Reap via Anlong Veng. Closer, but even more of an adventure to reach, is the massive Preah Khan – go now before the tour groups do.
The town's main landmarks are the tall Arunras Hotel, on the main road just south of the market, and the bridges across the Stung Sen, a concrete one for vehicles alongside an old metal one for pedestrians (though things don't necessarily work like that). The recently rebuilt market is fairly ordinary, but it's worth seeking out the traditional medicine stalls, which sell not only herbal products but the shrivelled gall bladders of bears, and dried snakes curled up like skeins of rope. Just south of here, you can check out the original lion statues from Sambor Prei Kuk, which are kept in the province's Department of Arts and Culture, on the east side of the main dual carriageway through town. At the time of writing this was due to move to a new building on the riverfront just east of the bridges. Pleasant enough, especially if you've half an hour to kill, is the gaudy Wat Kompong Thom, on the main road about 500m north of the river. The wat is hard to miss, its compound crammed with exuberant pagoda buildings and stupas.

The Bears have plenty of work still to do before the regular season kicks off next month. A dismal showing in their preseason opener vs. Denver saw the Bears fall 31-3.
The Bears played without Brian Urlacher, who missed practice time for "personal reasons" while recovering from a knee injury. Lovie Smith also held out Julius Peppers, Matt Forte and Jay Cutler for precautionary reasons.
A monsoon hit the Chicago area Thursday night, left the field conditions less than ideal and opened the risk for potential injury to three of the most important players on the team.
Much of the pregame chatter surrounded Cutler's playing time, as he welcomed his first child into the world on Wednesday morning. Many also wondered about the playing time of Peyton Manning, who was playing in his first game since a playoff loss to the New York Jets in 2010.
Though unlike Culter, Manning played. He led the Broncos into the red zone on the first series, converting four of seven passes for 44 yards before a Major Wright interception off a deflection from Bears nickelback DJ Moore, which ended the night for Manning.
Aside from Cutler and Forte, all eyes were on Brandon Marshall and Michael Bush. Marshall finished with one catch for four yards, and Bush had three carries for two yards and a costly fumble that led to three Denver points.
Luckily for the Bears, plenty of preseason play remains, as the offensive line looked as dismal as ever. The Broncos shut down the Bears run game, limiting the Bears to 36 yards on 21 carries for a pedestrian 1.7 yards per carry.
The pass protection was just as bad, as the Denver defense sacked Bears quarterbacks six times, albeit three of them came late in the game when undrafted Lake Zurich product Matt Blanchard was under center.
The most telling statistic for the ineptitude of the offense in this game is the 0-11 efficiency on third downs. Failing to convert a third down into a fresh set of downs is unacceptable in any game.
But a bright spot for the offense was rookie receiver Alshon Jeffery, who made some nice plays and led the team with four receptions and 35 yards on five targets.
Not surprisingly, the Bears defense looked dreadful, as they played without its two best defenders in Urlacher and Peppers. Outside the Wright interception, Shea McClellin provided glimpses of the burst and athleticism that made him the 19th pick in the NFL draft in April.
The rookie from Boise State finished his first professional game with three solo tackles with one for a loss, a sack and two quarterback hits.
Other than that not too many plays will stand out when the team watches the film of this first preseason game. The defense allowed 156 rushing yards on 36 carries and 4.2 yards per carry – a number that Lovie and defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli will need to see decrease in subsequent weeks.
This was just the first preseason game and expecting a crisp showing on either side of the ball would have been both unrealistic and foolish considering the circumstances.
Whether the Bears won by 50 or lost by 50, the most important thing to come out of this game is the health of the players. Excluding a minor hamstring injury to Wright, the team came away relatively unscathed.
With three more preseason games, the Bears will use this as a stepping stone to improve in all facets of the game when they play next Saturday vs. Washington.
Hopefully, next Saturday the stars will be shining in Soldier Field and up in the lakefront sky.

Top Local Tips for Riyadh
Taxis from the Airport When you arrive at the airport or if you are wanting to travel anywhere in Saudi make sure that you ask for a Taxi and not a Limousine. The limousines look like a taxi but can cost up to three times as much.Simply say the concierge or to anyone at the airport (I want a taxi, not Limousine) Make sure they use the meter and if not agree on a price before you go.The trip to the airport as at June 2009 is around 60 - 80 Riyals in a Taxi.
Saudi customs officers searching computers, hard drives, flash drives, CD's, DVD Avoid carrying a PC unless it is strictly necessary, and also external hard drives, USB flash drives, CDs, DVDs, etc, as they are subject to search by customs offices upon entering the country at international airports. And if you must carry any of those, make absolutely sure that there's no illegal content whatsoever in those drives (i.e. pornography) (I would not even carry the "Sports Illustrated" swiming suit issue, just in case)
