Man shot by Carmel police faces multiple charges
Aaron David, 25, still in hospital
CARMEL, Ind. - A man shot by Carmel police Monday in the abdomen and chest is now facing criminal charges.
Court records obtained by the Call 6 Investigators show Aaron David, 25, has been charged with three felonies and a misdemeanor -- two counts of resisting law enforcement/use of vehicle to commit offense, one count of intimidation and one count of carrying a hand gun without a license.
Monday morning, a woman told police her ex-boyfriend, David, called her and said he was going to kill her and her current boyfriend, investigators said.
As police were taking the report, officers spotted a vehicle matching the description of David's vehicle in the Cedar Ridge area of Carmel. Police attempted to pull the vehicle over, but the driver, later identified as David, refused to stop.
After a short chase, police said David jumped out of the vehicle and continued to walk down the street into a cul-de-sac.
When police finally caught up with David, officers said they saw he was holding a gun and ordered him several times to drop it.
Police said officers shot David in the chest and the abdomen after he refused to drop the gun. He was taken to St. Vincent Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Prosecutors told Call 6 Investigator Kara Kenney Wednesday legal proceedings will happen after David is released from the hospital.

At Regal Cinemas' corporate headquarters in Nashville, there's a similar note of co-existence. "By nature of being in the same business, we're in competition to some degree," concedes Phil Zacheretti, Regal's vice president of marketing. But while the new complex has earmarked a few of its screens for so-called art films, "we're never going to be playing the same pictures," Zacheretti says. "We don't feel a need to put a squeeze on anybody. We recognize the flavor of the area; we know we're not plopping down eighteen screens in the middle of a midstate mall. But you've still got a mass audience in Miami Beach looking for mass Hollywood fare."
A David and Goliath scenario, then, would seem a bit overstated. Yet it's hard not to notice the marked contrast between the nonprofit Alliance Cinema with its single, tiny screen, and the neighboring 3300 seat behemoth -- the latest outpost of the world's largest cinema chain, which has 420 Regal Cinemas locations worldwide.
But even if the immediate future of the Alliance is not in doubt, the opening of the new Regal multiplex does highlight a larger issue: the dismal state of alternative film in Miami. Despite the construction of eighteen new screens, viewing options continue to shrink.
In fact when it comes to showcasing independent film, re-released classics, and touring repertory programs, Miami has one of the most limited scenes of any major city in the United States. The numbers speak for themselves: Miami currently only has one screen fully dedicated to opening new independent films (the Alliance), with a second, the University of Miami's Bill Cosford Cinema, operating for only part of the year, and only occasionally introducing such pictures to the city. In contrast a Midwestern city such as Cleveland, hardly considered a cultural mecca, has eleven screens fully given over to independents, foreign cinema, and widely heralded programs like the François Truffaut, Robert Bresson, and Alfred Hitchcock retrospectives now touring the nation.
There is no single villain at work here, but rather a particularly painful confluence of conservatism and poor planning on the part of local figures, and destructive trends on a national level. What it means is that fewer and fewer truly exciting films will be making their way to Miami. And it may get worse.
Some would suggest the lack of independent film is simply the price of living in Miami. When asked to comment on the dearth, one local arts writer said simply: "Miami is the sticks. You don't get art films in the sticks."
It's an argument that doesn't fly with Nancy Gertsman, copresident of Zeitgeist Films (the distributor of acclaimed titles such as Abbas Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry, and "new" French Wave pictures Irma Vep from Olivier Assayas, Seventh Heaven from Beno�t Jacquot, and My Sex Life ... or How I Got into an Argument from Arnaud Desplechin). "If there's an audience in Lincoln, Nebraska, for our movies," she says cooly, "then there should be an audience in Miami. We consider Miami a major city, yet we're not able to play our films there as if it were a major venue." The problem for Gertsman is nothing culturally intrinsic to South Florida, however. Rather it's a peculiar business situation, one that was echoed by several other film distributors, small and large.
"Booking is hard these days," Gertsman explains. "There's a real glut of product and not enough theaters. But a lot of the time when you can't find a suitable art theater for the kind of film that Zeitgeist distributes, there's a university film society, some sort of college venue, or a media center -- something that picks up the slack. That's been the problem in Miami. There's never been one centralized place that specialized art films play. Miami is missing a real theater that plays the 'outsider-independent' films, the things that aren't distributed by Miramax or Fine Line." Gertsman cites the Cleveland Cinema-theque as an example of just such a nonprofit, university-sponsored theater, one located in the heart of "the sticks" that still manages to be a place where "films that need special attention can be curated properly."
Of course Miami does have a university-sponsored, nonprofit theater: the Bill Cosford Cinema. To many, however, the Cosford isn't fulfilling the role it could. "The University of Miami spent $250,000 bringing the Cosford up to par," says Nat Chediak, director of the Miami International Film Festival, previously the owner of two Miami art houses in the Seventies and Eighties, and a University of Miami alumnus. "You'd think they would spend a little more for somebody to actually program it properly." Chediak points his finger squarely at professor George Capewell, chair of the university's film department and the Cosford's booker, and accuses him of a lack of programming philosophy and poor marketing.

With Spring in full swing, it is time to begin a new routine for your skin care needs. After months of exposing your skin to dry indoor heated air, dead skin cells accumulate at the surface.

Much to our surprise, in late August the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued final regulations to implement President Bush's proclamation establishing the NW Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument. In doing so, the largest underwater marine sanctuary in the world has been established. Stretching 1,200 nautical miles, the Monument (larger than 46 of our 50 states) is governed by regulations that legally require the cessation of commercial fishing, drilling and other activities that threaten this fragile ecosystem. The new regulations also establish strict requirements on permitted activities. It should be noted that limited, non-commercial, recreational activities (SCUBA, snorkeling, etc.), as well as traditional, Native Hawaiian activities, are allowed with a permit, along with other limited research conducted with the purpose of protecting the Monument.
While Rock the Earth and its Hawaiian partner, KAHEA, await the Management Plan to implement the regulations (expected later this year), we continue to monitor permits being issued pursuant to the new regulations, to ensure that that the Monument receives the maximum amount of protection afforded under the law.
For more information on the NW HI Marine National Monument, see the July edition of Rock the Earth Notes or visit our website.

10,000 Lakes Festival and the Mark Vann Foundation Rock the Earth
Over the past month, two organizations have made unsolicited donations to Rock the Earth - 10,000 Lakes Festival and the Mark Vann Foundation.
The 10,000 Lakes Festival is held annually each July in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. During the past two summers, Rock the Earth has not only been invited to the festival to educate and activate music fans, but 10KLF has make RtE one of the non-profit sponsor beneficiaries of the event, donating a portion of the proceeds to RtE. In accordance with 10KLF's request, the funds donated will be put toward RtE's Greening Jam Cruise project, set to take place January 2-6, 2007.
Mark Vann was the banjo player in the Colorado band Leftover Salmon, who at the age of 39, succumbed to cancer and passed away on March 4, 2002. Mark's spirit lives on through the charitable efforts of the foundation that bears his name. Mark consistently lived by the motto of "Go Big!" He applied this motto to both playing music and his unending willingness to offer his time and knowledge to teach anybody who wanted to learn. He encouraged others to "Dream Big," "Go Big," and "Pick Big," and personally supported their efforts to do so.
The Mark Vann Foundation was created to continue the spirit of joy, gratitude and generosity that Mark brought to our collective communities through his life and music. The Foundation's primary mission is to serve community based non-profit organizations bringing light, love and laughter into the lives of those in need through nature, music and the arts-- and to provide a conduit for kindhearted people with similar values to nurture impacting positive change within their own communities.
We are grateful for the support from both 10KLF and the MVF in helping us "Dream Big" to Defend the Planet One Beat at a Time!
Rolling the Dice - Vegoose Steps Up to Help Rock the Earth
Vegoose is a Halloween festival extravaganza that draws inspiration from its Las Vegas location, and, of course, the spirit of Halloween. In addition to an eclectic group of music performers, there are interactive attractions, performance artists, and art installations-- including elements of the Las Vegas entertainment and performance community. Taking place from Oct. 27-30, 2006, the festival takes over the city of Las Vegas with a multitude of evening and late night shows throughout the extended weekend, culminating in an outdoor, multi-stage concert at the Sam Boyd Stadium on October 28 and 29. Much to our surprise and delight, the producers of Vegoose, in partnership with StubHub, are auctioning VIP ticket packages to benefit Rock the Earth. These custom packages include special back-stage privileges that will allow the winners to view artists from the side of the Main Stage, a radio broadcast performance, food, beverages, late night tickets and many other extras. Visit StubHub for more information.
As if this wasn't enough, a fan-celebrity blackjack tournament to benefit nonprofits, including Rock the Earth, will also be held in which $30,000 in money and prizes will be awarded to the winners, with the Grand Prize winner walking away with $15,000. For more information on how to enter, go to StubHub. Scroll down for an interview with Rich Goodstone, our newest Advisory Board member and co-founder of Vegoose creator, Superfly Presents.
In the Key of Green: Potty Time
Rock the Earth friends and members often visit our table or write to us and ask what they can do on a daily basis. In our July newsletter, we presented 10 Ways to Save the Planet. The feature was so popular that each month we've decided to bring you "In the Key of Green," where we'll give a simple tip for you to help defend the planet one beat at a time!
We begin our feature with the ever-glamorous topic of toilets. Why toilets, you ask??!! Well, everyone uses them (we hope) and toilets can leak up to five gallons per minute, costing you hundreds of dollars per year. In one year, a leaky toilet can also use up to 22,000 gallons of precious water. To test for a leak, add a few drops of food coloring into the toilet tank after it has stopped filling. Wait 10 minutes. If the food coloring appears in the toilet bowl, the flapper or ball valve is leaking and needs to be replaced. If your toilet is not leaking, yet is not low flow (like most older toilets), there's an easy solution to save water. Add a small jug of water or pebbles to your tank. This will have the effect of taking up more space, thus reducing the flow. And best of all, it's free! See, aren't toilets fun?
Coming in November: A Rockin' Charity Auction and Greening Jam Cruise Update
For the third time in as many years, the Mimi Fishman Foundation will be conducting an on-line auction to benefit Rock the Earth. Items donated include original artwork by Scramble Campbell, signed posters from Bonnie Raitt, Jack Johnson, the Allman Brothers Band and the Disco Biscuits, limited edition signed and numbed prints from Jim Pollock, Emek, Jeff Wood, Gary Houston and a multitude of others, and concert and aftershow passes donated by the String Cheese Incident. For more details, be sure to look for the November issue of Rock the Earth Notes or check our website in early November.
Stay tuned to RtE Notes for the latest news in our flagship project to green Jam Cruise! Next month, we'll be telling you about all that we're going to do to reduce the ecological impact of this festival on the open seas, while activating and educating the passengers with stimulating environmental programming involving many of the artists on the boat. In the meantime, there are only a few cabins remaining. Don't be left on the dock! Hurry to catch the most unique festival around!
Bonnie Raitt Keeps On Rockin (the Earth)!
One of RtE's biggest supporters in 2006 was certainly Bonnie Raitt. Over the past several months we have had a presence on Bonnie's tour, conducted a high-profile interview of her on the Solar Stage at Bonnaroo, and she has donated a merchandise discount (20% off all merchandise on her website) to Rock the Earth Members. Now, for the inaugural show at the Broomfield Events Center in Broomfield (suburban Denver), Colorado, Bonnie has donated seats in the 4th row and aftershow passes to meet her. The tickets and passes are being auctioned on-line at CharityFolks to benefit Rock the Earth! For your chance to bid, go here.
Rock the Earth is incredibly humbled and thankful for Bonnie's generosity and we look forward to many years of partnering with her. In the coming weeks, we hope to have the audio from our Bonnaroo interview with Bonnie available for download. Stay tuned to the website.

Since Superfly's inception in 1996, it has developed into a full-service production company with unique strengths in concert promotion, event production, management services and marketing campaigns.

1. What environmental issue(s) do you consider to be the most critical at this time?
Global Warming is the largest environmental issue since man has lived. Until this point, the destruction of the earth was always under our control. As it stands now, because of our habits and their responsibility for the destruction of our ecosystems, we are getting to a point of no return. The issue must be at the forefront of our generation to understand and implement the necessary changes to reverse this trend and continue to allow the earth to be an inhabitable place.
2. What has inspired you to combine environmental activism with your music?
There really is a moral obligation for anyone who is aware to take the time and do what you can to bring awareness to the rest of our population. The only way for us to change as a society, is to educate everyone we can of the issues that are facing the earth, and in turn, the human race as it is known. It's making a difference in yourself, others and the world is one of the main things, along with being happy, that life is all about.
3. Where is your favorite place in nature to go to find solace or inspiration?
It really depends on the moment. Nature is a healing force in and of itself and allows you to get away from the heavy energy of man. At various point in my life it has been on the beach, in the mountains, in my backyard with my bare feet on the grass, or in the desert. For myself, no one place would suffice, and that is what makes the world and all it has to offer such a special place.

The South Dakota Cooperative Extension Service invites South Dakotans to fill their Horizons project passports this summer.
The Horizons project passport is a new program where individuals or families receive stamps, much like a traditional passport, from each of the Horizons communities they visit over the next two and one-half years.
The South Dakota Cooperative Extension Service is responsible for the implementation of the Horizons project, a community leadership program designed for small, rural towns. Aimed at reducing poverty, Horizons has empowered local citizens to make changes so that life may be better for all community members.
Martha Landes, one of the project's community coaches, said the new passport program is a way for individuals and families to enjoy the summer while seeing the hard work that has led to change in the 43 communities that make up the effort. "We welcome you to travel to each of the 43 Horizons communities and see how community involvement can lead to positive changes," Landes said. "Any one who fills their passport with all 43 stamps before Jan. 1, 2013, will receive a prize, but we are limiting it to one gift per family, please."
The communities who have completed the program are spread across South Dakota, and Landes said filling a complete Horizons project passport can be "an exciting endeavor to visit all 43 places."
The passports will be available through the community development team of the South Dakota Cooperative Extension Service in each of the Horizons communities. The free passports also are available at the South Dakota Art Museum in Brookings. For more information or to receive a passport, call Extension Specialist Kari Fruechte at 605-685-6872, Extension Specialist Karla Trautman at 605-688-4790, or Horizons Community Coach Martha Landes at 605-691-3111.

Freezing CO2
Name: Frank V. Status: Educator Age: 20s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: April 2002
I saw the answer to the Coldest Recorded Earth Temperature at a chilly -128.6F (89.6C). This is 10 degrees (C) colder than the freezing temperature of Carbon Dioxide at atmospheric. My question is: "During Ice Ages, did the temperature at the poles ever get cold enough to freeze CO2?"
The vapor pressure of CO2 = 760 mmHg = 1 atm @ 194.7 K. At 184 K = -89.2 the vapor pressure of CO2 = 300 mmHg = 0.4 atm (approx.). So unless the partial pressure of CO2 during the Ice Ages exceeded 300 mmHg = 0.4 atm the CO2 would sublime. I doubt that the partial pressure of CO2 would be that large.
Vince Calder
Updated -- Summer 2009
The freezing temperature of pure carbon dioxide at one atmosphere of pressure is -78.5 C (-109.3 F). In the Earth's atmosphere, at sea level, carbon dioxide constitutes only about 0.0004 atmosphere of partial pressure. Partial pressure refers to the amount of force (which is basically equivalent to weight in the Earth's atmosphere) that the gas exerts in air. At such a low partial pressure, a temperature of less than about -140 C is needed for carbon dioxide gas to be converted to solid carbon dioxide. At such low temperatures and one atmosphere pressure, carbon dioxide can not exist as a liquid, only as a solid. Since the lowest recorded temperature on Earth is -89.2 C at Vostok Station, Antarctica, it can be safely said that carbon dioxide gas has not frozen out of the air anywhere on Earth in recorded history.
Furthermore, since Vostolk is not at sea level, the atmospheric pressure there is less than one atmosphere, resulting in less dense air, a lower partial pressure of carbon dioxide than at sea level, and thus an even lower temperature being required to convert carbon dioxide gas to a solid.
The temperature being at "freezing", the temperature usually defined as resulting in a phase change from pure liquid to pure solid at one atmosphere of atmospheric pressure, does not imply that the solid phase of carbon dioxide will result at that temperature in the atmosphere. The partial pressure of the gas must be high enough for "saturation" of the air to occur (where the air can no longer hold all of the element as gas without some changing to the liquid or solid phase). At Vostok, Antarctica, the carbon dioxide content of the air is not high enough and the air temperature is not low enough for carbon dioxide gas to reach the saturation partial pressure (referred to as saturation vapor pressure for water); therefore carbon dioxide gas will not freeze out of the air.
On Mars, the temperature is often low enough and the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere is high enough (approximately 90% of the Mars atmosphere is composed of carbon dioxide gas) that carbon dioxide gas can "freeze out" of the atmosphere as a solid, even though the surface atmospheric pressure is much lower than it is on the Earth.

Mass Effect producer Michael Gamble has revealed details of the new Mass Effect 3 Omega DLC. In an interview which has subsequently appeared on YouTube, the BioWare staffer says the new content will be released 27 November and will cost 1200 Microsoft Points ($15/£10).
The action takes place on Omega, a space station visited in Mass Effect 2 and location of the Afterlife Club, and will feature appearances from asari Aria T'Loak and a new female Turian character.
Gamble claims Omega is "basically double the size of the largest DLC that we've done for Mass Effect 3" by which we presume he means it'll take twice as long to complete as the three or so hours required to get through the Leviathan DLC.
We'll bring you more news on the Mass Effect 3 Omega DLC as its announced.

David Headley alleges Pakistan role in Mumbai attacks
A man who scouted sites for the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks has testified in a Chicago trial that the Pakistani intelligence service had links to the group that carried out the attacks.
David Headley was testifying against Tahawwur Rana, a Chicago businessman accused of helping plan the attacks.
Mr Rana is accused of providing Headley with a cover to scout attack locations.
Mr Rana has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers say he was tricked by Headley, a former friend.
More than 160 people were killed in November 2008 when a group of 10 men stormed a train station, hotels and cafes and a Jewish centre, shooting and throwing bombs.
At the opening on Monday of Mr Rana's trial, Headley testified that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) and militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) coordinated with each other.
The ISI provided military and moral support to the group, he said.
He said a Pakistani agent paid him $25,000 (£15,500) for the operation. Headley has separately said he was trained by LeT.
Pakistan believes Headley is an unreliable witness and analysts expect Islamabad to flatly deny alleged links between militant groups and the Pakistani secret intelligence service.
'Friends with a terrorist'Mr Rana denies the 12 charges that have been levelled against him.
His lawyers say he was tricked by Headley, a longtime friend from their days at a Pakistani military school. Mr Rana was arrested in 2009, and if convicted, he faces a life sentence.
At the scene
Headley's testimony revealed an insight into the workings of LeT and its alleged links to the ISI. He had free access to the group's leader, Hafiz Sayeed, who has been charged by India as the mastermind of the attacks.
Besides LeT, said Headley, two other militant organisations - Hizb-ul-Mujahedeen and Jaish-e-Mohammed - worked "under the umbrella of the ISI". He named several men who he said were officers in the ISI who collaborated with LeT, including one called Maj Iqbal.
Headley said he took pictures and video of the sites and shared them with the ISI officer and LeT members. Headley said he was drawn to LeT in 2000 after he attended one of its meetings.
He said LeT was planning attacks on India and he joined them because he hated India for dismembering Pakistan in 1971. He said the Mumbai attacks had been planned in 2005 but the dates were not firmed up until later.
"David Headley... has been manipulating people for years. Dr Rana is by far and away not the first," Mr Rana's lawyer Charles Swift said in his opening statement.
Prosecutors say that in 2006 Mr Rana allowed Headley to open an office of his Chicago-based immigration services firm in Mumbai, which Headley then used as cover to scout sites for the 2008 attack.
"The defendant knew all too well that when Headley travels to a foreign country, people may die," assistant US Attorney Sarah Streicker told jurors on Monday.
"The defendant didn't carry a gun or throw a grenade. In a complicated and sophisticated plot, not every player carries a weapon. People like the defendant who provide support are just as critical to the success."
In November 2008, the 10 gunmen attacked the Taj Mahal and Oberoi hotels, a Jewish centre and a major train station, each of which Headley had scouted in advance.
In March 2010, Headley, a US citizen who spent much of his childhood in Pakistan, pleaded guilty to taking photographs and video of the targets. He could face up to life in prison and a $3m (£1.86m) fine.
In addition, prosecutors say Headley and Mr Rana plotted an attack, which was never carried out, on Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, in revenge for its printing of cartoons featuring images of the Prophet Muhammad.
Also charged with planning the Mumbai attack are four Pakistanis, including one said by prosecutors to be a Pakistani intelligence officer. None are in US custody.

Adopted at the age of 3 to a white, Christian home. I grew up in a mostly white area, which made it hard to find my identity. People would either pressure me to act more "black" or they would laugh at me for "trying to be black." I grew up in the church and as I grew older I realized that my identity was found in my faith in Christ. I started doing Christian music when I was a junior in high school, but now I see God pulling me outside of the christian hip hop community and into a world of new heights. My goal is to encourage as many people as I can with the music that I make. I pray that I can influence people to be the best they can be. No matter what people say, every dream is a dream worth chasing, and if you chase it, it is never out of reach.

About Me
- About gimmepie
- Biography
- Hi whoever is reading this
I'm gimmepie (obviously not my actual name, but I prefer not to use that on PC). I'm 19 years old, have high-funtioning autism and am an Australian. Currently I am studying Primary School Education at university and I work somewhat casually as a ballroom dance coach at my studio.
This is my third year now as a member of PC and I thoroughly enjoy it here. You can primarily find me typing up a storm in the Roleplay Corner or quite often sharing my love of music in the song-rating thread in Forum Games but I tend to pop up in all kinds of places.
I like to think I'm a friendly guy, albeit stubborn and opinionated, so if you feel like talking just drop me a VM or PM and I'll probably reply as soon as I see it.
PC Supporter since 2014 (Currently Gold Tier)
Roleplays I'm in:
1. Fragmented (GM)
2. One Piece: The Golden Age
3. Begin Again
4. Outbreak
5. Agony: The Battle of Del Rio (GM - Coming Soon)
6. Condemned: A Pokemon Survival RP (GM - Coming Soon)
Most RPs GM'd at once: Six (I'm pretty sure that's a record but I dunno) - Interests
- My interests are pretty varied and they keep me sane when I'm supposed to be studying.
As I said before I teach at my local ballroom studio, I also train there myself as I am also a competitor. Dancing is one of the most important parts of my life.
I also love music, a very wide range of it too. I listen to everything from Rock to rap to country. My favourite band is Linkin Park but there are many other artists I love (far too many to list here so VM me if you're curious).
Pokemon has been a part of my life since I was about six. My first game was Pokemon Stadium for the N64 and I watched the anime religiously. These days I'm still in love with the franchise and I buy the main series games whenever they come out. I also sometimes battle on PCs Showdown server. These days I'm not as fond of the anime, but I haven't seen X/Y yet so I don't know.
I am a big lover of improvisational and stand-up comedy. I am arguably the biggest fan of Whose Line Is It Anyway in my country and I spend hours watching it and stand-up shows. I often consider giving stand-up a shot, but I struggle to be funny on cue and I don't have a very good stage presence.
I'm not much of a gamer, but I do enjoy a bit of gaming sometimes. My favourite game is The Last of Us but Starcraft 2 is a close second.
I am an anime lover and, unlike Western shows with which I am very picky about genre, I will watch almost any genre. My favourite anime of all time is Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. - Location

Top Ten Male Artists
I mentioned last week in my Top Ten Female Artists entry, that despite listening to a very wide selection of music I tend to lean towards male artists. So this week I'm giving you a sample of but a few of them by showcasing my favourite male performers (in no particular order).
Number One - Chester Bennington (Linkin Park, Dead by Sunrise)

PokéPizza - Early Bug
In pretty much all the pokemon games there's one or two bug-types that can be caught early on and evolve quickly. In my project there is also a line like this, although the final form does come a little bit later than it does for the likes of Butterfree or Vivillon.
So, without further ado, I'll introduce my early bug line.

Weekly Music Mince
Okay... so technically it's Monday but that's besides the point. Another week has ended, and although it's a little late, I'm still going to do the Weekly Music Mince - because what you really need is another ten songs from me after my last post.
This past week my musical taste seems to have been leaning more towards rock music, although there are a few odd ones out. Enjoy!

I really love many different kinds of music, but honestly I tend to gravitate more towards male artists. Despite this, there are still many female performers who I really enjoy listening to. In this Top Ten, I'm going to share my favourite female singers with you (in no particular order).
Number One - Pink

All Things Pie
So, recently I said I would attempt to write about any topic posted in the comments of my Writer's Block thread. Well Klippy's suggestion was that I write about various flavours of pie (well he spelled it the weird American way but you get the idea). As it happens, pie is something of a forte of mine (I know, you're shocked) so I thought I'd write about a few flavours I like.
Apple Pie
In general I prefer sweet pies to savoury, with apple

Bobby Helms
Bobby Helms (born Robert Lee Helms, 15 August 1933 – 19 June 1997) was an American singer who enjoyed his peak success in 1957
Born in Bloomington, Indiana, into a musical family, he began performing as a duo with his brother, Freddie, before going on to a successful solo career in country music. In 1956, Helms made his way to Nashville, Tennessee, where he signed a recording contract with Decca Records. The following year would be filled with astonishing successes. Helms' first single in 1957 titled "Fräulein" went to No. 1 on the country music chart and made it into the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Later that same year he released "My Special Angel" that also went to No. 1 on the country charts and entered the Top 10 on Billboard's pop music chart, peaking at No. 7.
Released just a few days before Christmas of 1957, his song "Jingle Bell Rock", was a big hit. Uniquely, it also re-emerged four out of the next five years, and sold so well that it repeated each time as a top hit, and became a Christmas classic still played to this day. Stories that Helms wrote and recorded the song "Jingle Bell Rock" with legendary guitar player Hank Garland seem to be apocryphal. ASCAP and Allmusic list the writers of the song as Joseph Beal, Joseph Carlton, James Ross and James Boothe.
Helms continued touring and recording for the next three decades. His pioneering contribution to the genre has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
Helms spent most of his later years living just outside of Martinsville, Indiana, until the time of his death from emphysema and asthma, at the age of 63 in 1997.

She just got into another fight in a club with- this time with New York Ranger players Aaron Voros and Sean Avery at 1Oak in New York.
The wacky Irish American star threw a drink over Voros' model girlfriend, Jessica Stam, and then tried to get all three thrown out of the club.
The New York Post reports , "Lindsay threw a fit because she wanted to be at their table near the DJ. But she claimed she didn't want to sit with Aaron and said, 'He's my ex-boyfriend. I don't want him anywhere near me.'
Voros for his part denied he knew her.
Lindsay then allegedly threw a drink in Jessica's face, and Lohan demanded the Rangers players be ejected.
Club bosses refused.
Stam, Voros and Avery were said to be shocked and Lohan left shortly afterward.
The Post says they await Lohan's inevitable denial, but have multiple witnesses.
A different source said "Lindsay threw a fit. There was total drama for absolutely no reason."

Next weeks F1 in Schools World Finals in Singapore will be an historic occasion for two Irish schools - one from Northern Ireland and one from the Republic of Ireland - who have come together to create a collaborative team known as SIANIDE.
Schools from different countries regularly link up to form teams for the initiative, which sees children design, manufacture and race miniature Formula One cars. But this collaboration is particularly special considering the long-standing political and religious divisions that have existed between their two countries.
It is a milestone for F1 in Schools to be initiating this ground-breaking project and proving that education has no boundaries, said Andrew Denford, F1 in Schools founder and chairman. It can draw together students from different cultures and backgrounds to learn more about our world and society. These benefits are just as valuable as learning from building an F1 in Schools model car and we are very proud to be inspiring and enriching these students lives.
Although the two schools are just 140 miles apart, bringing together four students from Cambridge House Grammar School, Ballymena, Northern Ireland, and two students from OFiaich College, Dundalk, Republic of Ireland, has been a unique opportunity for a cross-boundaries initiative.
This collaboration has been an education for the students in so many different ways, says Lynda Somerville, team tutor from Cambridge House. Although the two countries are separate culturally, the boys have embraced the concept of linking them together for the F1 in Schools World Finals. A very visual outcome of this is the teams identity, with a logo which integrates the flags of the two countries.
Jim Friars of the Irish Computer Society, In Country Co-ordinator of F1 in Schools Ireland, added: The level of support, cooperation and communication within this group is truly amazing. Never did the differences in location, schools processes or policies get in the way of these students keeping their eyes on the prize.
Cross-border business programmes and initiatives are more important than ever now, helping firms to grow and enabling them to reach their export potential and above all establishing the development of an all-island economy. Its an example that would lend itself to many cross-board initiatives.
The World Finals will get underway at Singapores Ngee Ann Polytechnic Convention Centre from Monday, ahead of next weekends Singapore Grand Prix.

It's probably a little weird that I got geeked from getting a shoutout on his video even though I just hung out with the guy all weekend. There's just something about being mentioned by name by the guy as he sits in his classic tiny white bedroom studio. Kinda feeling like a big shot right now. Not even gonna lie.

As much as I like my Midway bag it is just too big for my typical range trips with one gun and a few boxes of ammo. So the search was on for a smaller bag to use and I found it in the Maxpedition Mongo Versipack. it's probably 1/3 the size of the Midway bag and it's designed to sit flat against the body while carrying it. It has molle attachment points, plenty of pockets and velcro inside to attach a variety of accessories for customization. I ordred it with a strap holster and magazine pouches to start. I have it set for one pistol and 4 magazines, but should be able to fit 2/8 easy with some rearranging.
Anyway here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.
The bag with trauma kit strapped to the side. Also plenty of velcro on the outside for moral patches or flags as I have.
Comparison with the Midway bag. It's a bad perspective but I could fit this bag inside the Midway.:
Pistol compartment. With a repositioning of the holster you should be able to fit two in here.
Magazines. There are 4 in here, the other 2 are floating since I only have one holder for now. The pocket in front has a staple gun and a box of staples.
Large main compartment. Eyes, ears and small targets in the pocket. What you don't see is the 2 boxes of ammo underneath. I should easily be able to fit 6-8 boxes.
Not pictured is the screw driver and tools in the top compartment and a rag in one of the exterior pockets as well. The only thing I wasn't able to fit in this was my mini cleaning kit, but since I like to clean my guns at home I'll just get a ziplock and throw some oil and bore snakes in there for a quick field cleaning if needed.
It's very comfortable to carry and I don't have to walk around like a hunch back and through doors sideways any more. I think it would also make a great BOB as well.

NSU Motorenwerke AG, normally just NSU, was a German manufacturer of automobiles, motorcycles and pedal cycles, founded in 1873. It was acquired by Volkswagen Group in 1969. VW merged the company with Auto Union, to eventually evolve into Audi as it is known today.
Contents |
NSU began as a knitting machine manufacturer in the town of Riedlingen on the Danube in 1873, and moved to Neckarsulm, where the river Sulm flows into the Neckar, in 1884. In 1886 the company began to produce bicycles, the first of them branded as the "Germania", and by 1892, bicycle manufacturing had completely replaced knitting machine production. At about this time, the name NSU (from Neckar and Sulm) appeared as a brand name.
The first NSU motorcycle appeared in 1901,[1] followed by the first NSU car in 1905. In 1932, the car factory in Heilbronn was sold to Fiat.
During World War II NSU designed and produced the Kettenkrad, the NSU HK101, a half-tracked motorcycle with the engine of the Opel Olympia.
In December 1946 Das Auto reported the company had resumed the manufacture of bicycles and motor-bicycles at Neckarsulm.[2] For Germany this was a time of new beginnings: in July 1946, a new board had been appointed, headed up by General Director Walter Egon Niegtsch, who earlier in his career had spent 17 years with Opel.[2]
NSU motorbike production restarted, in a completely destroyed plant, with pre-war designs like the Quick, OSL and Konsul motorbikes; furthermore, the HK101 continued to be sold by NSU as an all-terrain vehicle in a civilian version. The first post-war model was the NSU Fox in 1949, available in a 2-stroke and a 4-stroke version. In 1953 the NSU Max followed, a 250 cc motorbike with a unique overhead camdrive with connecting rods. All these new models had an innovative monocoque frame of pressed steel and a central rear suspension unit. Albert Roder, the chief engineer behind the success story, made it possible that in 1955 NSU became the biggest motorcycle producer in the world. NSU also holds 4 world records for speed: 1951, 1953, 1954, and 1955. In August 1956 Wilhelm Herz at the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, became the first man to ride a motorcycle faster than 200 mph (322 km/h).
In 1957 NSU re-entered the car market with the new Prinz (Prince), a small car with a doubled NSU Max engine, an air-cooled two-cylinder engine of 600 cc (37 cu in) and 20 hp (15 kW). Motorbike production continued until 1968. NSU's last production motorcycle was the Quick 50.[3][4]
In 1964 NSU offered the world's first Wankel engined car: the Wankelspider. In development of the project, NSU built the Sport Prinz, with a 129 hp (96 kW) 995 cc (60.7 cu in) 2-rotor.[5] In the same year Prinz 1000 and derivatives like the TT and TT/S followed. The Typ 110 (later called 1200SC) was launched in 1965 as a family car with a more spacious body design. The last NSU cars with a conventional four-stroke engine had the air-cooled OHC four-cylinder engine in common. The car was marketed in the U. K. as "NSU TYP 110", and Karobes, a major supplier of car accessories, provided a head rest specially for this car: "A new one which can be fitted without a screw, and may be adjusted forwards and backwards."[6]
In 1967, the four-door NSU Ro 80, with a 115 hp (86 kW) version of the same 2-rotor,[7] was presented to public. Weighing 2,600 lb (1,200 kg), it had a Cd of 0.36, disc brakes, independent suspension, and front wheel drive by Fichtel & Sachs Saxomatic three-speed transmission.[7] It soon gained several design awards such as "car of the year 1967", while drivers liked its performance.[7] Virtually all the world's major motor manufacturers purchased licenses from NSU to develop and produce the rotary engine, with the notable exception of BMW.[8]
Despite its public acclaim, sales of the Ro 80 were disappointing. The transmission drew complaints and the engine suffered numerous failures even at low mileage.[7] Competitor automakers, apart from Mazda, held back from taking a lead in developing and marketing the Wankel technology, and anticipated income associated with those royalty deals failed to materialize.
The development of the rotary engine was very cost-intensive for the small company. Problems with the tip seals of the engine rotor significantly damaged the brand's reputation amongst consumers. In 1969, the company was taken over by Volkswagen Group, who merged NSU with Auto Union. The new, merged, company was called Audi NSU Auto-Union A.G and represented the effective end of both the NSU and DKW marques with all future production to bear the Audi badge (although retaining the four interlocking circles of Auto Union). The management of the Neckarsulm plant moved to Audi's headquarters in Ingolstadt. When the small rear-engined NSU models (Prinz 4, 1000, 1200) were phased out in 1973, the Ro 80 was the last car still in production carrying the NSU badge. Audi never made use of the brand name NSU again after April 1977, when the last Ro 80 was sold.[7]
Even as production of the Ro 80 continued in the Neckarsulm plant, production of larger Audi models like 100 and 200 was started. The Porsche 924 and later Porsche 944 were also assembled at Neckarsulm. Those models were joint venture projects of Porsche and VW, but Porsche did not have the internal capacity to build the 924 and 944. Currently, Neckarsulm is the production plant for Audi's topline vehicles like A6, A8 and R8. It is also the home of the "Aluminium- und Leichtbauzentrum" where Audi's aluminium-made space frame bodies are designed and engineered.
NSU is primarily remembered today as the first licensee and one of only three automobile companies to produce cars for sale with rotary Wankel engines. NSU invented the principle of the modern Wankel engine with an inner rotor. The NSU Ro 80 was the second mass-produced two-rotor Wankel-powered vehicle after the Mazda Cosmo. In 1967, NSU and Citroën set up a common company, Comotor, to build engines for Citroën and other car makers. Only Mazda continued developing the Wankel engine. Mazda currently has a sportscar, the RX-8, in its portfolio using the Wankel engine family.
A museum in Neckarsulm, the Deutsches Zweirad- und NSU-Museum, has many of NSU's products on display.
In the early 1970s, NSU manufactured a vertical-crankshaft small engine for use as a lawn mower power unit.[9]
NSU produced the following post - war cars:
Sidecar (Germany, 2002)
NSU had several successes in the Isle of Man TT races in the 1950s. NSU holds 4 World records for speed: 1951, 1953, 1954 and 1955. During the 1930s, and in the mid 1950s NSU was the largest motorcycle producer of the world.
The NSU Quickly was the most popular moped of its time.[citation needed] It was produced between 1953 and 1966 in over 1,000,000 examples and still can be found today all over the world as more than 60% were exported.
Bicycle production began in 1900 and continued into the early 1960s.[10]

The impact of aggresive competition on food intake at all the resources used is analysed for every member of a group of brown capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) in the Manu National Park, Peru, where they live in groups of 8–14 animals. An individual's food intake at a given tree was affected independently both by its domirance rank (Fig. 1) and by how much aggression it received (Table 5). Food intake was not strongly affected by body size when dominance rank was held constant by partial correlation. At food sources where high rates of fighting occurred, an individual's food intake depended more on its domirance status than on the rate of aggression it received (Fig. 2). However, food intake at resources where rates of fighting were low depended mostly on the rate of aggression received. When aggression over food was absent, the food intakes of dominants and subordinates were equal. Dominants had significantly greater total energy intake (20.5% more) than did subordinates, even though more than one third of their diet came from food sources where little or no fighting occurred (Fig. 3). Energy intake was also significantly greater for individuals that received little aggression. The only adult that emigrated from the main study group was the individua with the lowest energy intake. Competition for food within groups was more than ten times as intense as competition between brown capuchin groups.

Cargill changing hog production facilities
Published on -6/9/2014, 11:55 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By Dan Voorhis
The Wichita Eagle
(MCT) Cargill is continuing its move toward group housing in the facilities where it raises sows to produce hogs for pork.
Cargill's facilities will have only group housing by the end of next year, and the farms with which Cargill contracts for hog production will have only group housing by the end of 2017.
Animal activist groups have pushed for the change industry-wide, saying open housing is more humane than the smaller gestation crates that are common in the industry. Group housing allows the sows to move around and interact.
"Over the past two years, many of our retail, foodservice and food processing customers have made decisions about future sourcing of pork products from suppliers that use group housing for gestating sows," Mike Luker, president of Wichita-based Cargill Pork, said in a statement. "While Cargill was a pioneer in the use of group housing for gestating sows dating back more than a decade, in the past few years growing public interest in the welfare related to animals raised for food has been expressed to our customers and the pork industry.
Cargill Pork, based in Wichita, is one of the largest pork producers in the U.S.
"Both group housing and individual housing have pros and cons, and we continue to learn, and evolve best practices from our transition to group housing," Luker said in his statement. "While an industry change of this magnitude is challenging and costly, we believe it is the right thing to do for the long term future of pork production in the U.S., and our customers agree with us and support our decision. Nevertheless, we need to be mindful that many family farms involved with raising hogs have their life savings invested in their operations and it will require time and other resources if they choose to make a conversion to group housing."
