Often I find myself wanting to get a file off of my laptop or want to check a website that my portables cant handle. The only problem is that my laptop is entirely shutdown and would take a while to boot up, much too long if I want it for 2 minutes >_<. So I was thinking of installing a linux on a tiny partition for just this purpose. My only requirement is that it must start up FAST!! I dont need any features beyond web browsing and file browsing. I've looked at a few distros, but I need another opinion.
DSL was my first choice. Because of its minimalist nature I assumed it would start quickly. It was pretty fast, but I've been unable to install it for some reason. It just doesn't >_<.
Puppy Linux was my second choice, because it is similar in its minimalist nature, but not in the extreme of DSL. I was wondering if there was anything faster.
I thought of using Parted Magic, because it is already my partition editor of choice so I could kill 2 birds, but again, there is probably something faster.
All the rest were too slow, but obviously I couldn't have checked them all. Any suggestions?

Hi. If you never tried linux before, you'll better experiment with virutalbox, seriously. At least to teach you and let you evaluate the procedures of an installation until you feel safe with it and do it in the real machine. Moreover, the fastest distro will usually be the trickier ones to install. After that it will be bread and butter :).
Now, I can't give you recommendations as I'm also a newbie but learnt that the fastest is tinycore, followed by slitaz, knoppix cd version (be carefull to not pick the one with adriane) and, still to be tried, webconverger. There is also a puppy derivative called browser linux, there is Oh … and there is a thing called Haiku but the software available for this is almost nothing.
I did test xpud and found it too unstable with firefox sudenly crashing. JolyCloud is too heavy from my standards point of view. EasyPeasy is a no no … as any UNR you may find around.
After testing all the *buntus, mandrivas, suse's, and so on, I'm currently using as my virtual working machine something that's not even listed in the distrowatch.org, an ubuntu derivative made by chinese people and called Ylmf OS, and you can find it at http://www.ylmf.org/en/index.html
Why am I telling you this? … :) Well … I also started looking for the same as you …

You could always install Debian, Fedora, etc. and install LXDE or XFCE. They're user interfaces that use MUCH less ram than the standard Gnome or KDE. I just installed Debian on a 10 year old computer with XFCE, so it does save a lot of ram.
Also, check this out: http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/
It helps pick a Linux distro with a quiz on what you need. It picked my favorite two when I did it, so it's got something right :P

I agree that the fastest booting one would probably be xPud. I don't know how to install it to a hard drive, though – so far I have just booted it off a USB drive.
Anyone know how to install xPud to a hard drive?
I want to do it on my Asus EEEPC (which is tricky since it doesn't have a cd drive)
If you think I should've start a new thread with this question instead of putting it on here, sorry. Just let me know.
February 25, 2010
Well, regarding XPUD, I installed it in a virtual Windows 7 Machine and everything ran fine … but didn't install it as THE native OS … nor did it in the real machine :???:
I just wanted to add that my decision to work with Ylmf OS resulted from the agility of this distro with the minimum working ram of 384 MB. All the others struggled to do it, even some Fluxbox desktop equiped ubuntu and other non ubuntu derivatives.
November 15, 2009
I think Ive decided to stick with xPud.
There is a separate installer on the site. On the download page you have to click "install on hard drive" to get the installer, and then you run it from Windows.
I'm no stranger to linux, but DSL is so basic and retro (in order to fit in 50mb) that the installation process is a command line procedure. I type in everything I need but it just does nothing. =( It just wasn't designed to be installed I guess…

As far as I can make out the internet still does not provide an answer for "how to transfer the USB boot content files" to hard disk

Classic Car Games (continued)
Monday, August 30th, 201020 Questions As a strong analytical mind may have deduced, when playing 20 Questions, participants get 20 questions to figure out who or what another player has in mind. All questions must be clearly answerable with either a "Yes" or a "No." If a questioner correctly guesses the mystery person, place or thing, he or she will choose a new secret subject for the next round. If after 20 questions, the item in question remains a mystery, the answerer wins that round and gets to choose a new topic. Helpful hint: Hardly anyone would recognize the name "Jim Varney," or guess "Ernest" off his or her head, yet everyone has heard of Ernest Goes to Camp (among Ernest's many title roles) making it a completely legitimate choice.

Witness The 'McKayla Maroney Is Not Impressed' Meme [PHOTOS]
McKayla Maroney is arguably the world's best vaulter, but when she fell at this year's Olympics and missed out on the gold, we got a chance to witness her disappointed face. She apologized for her reaction after the fact which makes us love her even more!
Sportsmanship is so important to me and I hope you know i would never do that intentionally!! Please forgive me!!
— McKayla Maroney (@McKaylaMaroney) August 6, 2012
But the expression still took on a life of its own, spurring the creation of some Maroney-inspired memes. There is even a Tumblr dedicated to the newly named look of, "McKayla is not impressed."
[nggallery id=721]
Fans of the gymnast have inserted the famous photo into several pop culture story lines to create a hilarious new scene featuring McKayla.

It's giveaway time at Jack in the Box. Today, from 2 p.m. to midnight, the chain is offering two free tacos to every customer -- there is no coupon or purchase required, reports Nation's Restaurant News. Regularly two for 99 cents, the beef tacos have, according to the company, been improved, although says NRN, a spokesperson for the chain declined to name those improvements.
The latest Jack in the Box ad features the company mascot sprawled in a dentist's chair, hooked up to a line of laughing gas, and, in a loopy moment, deciding to do a no-strings taco giveaway. But wait, what is that guy doing at the dentist's anyway? He has no mouth (unless you count that red smiley line), not to mention teeth. So how does Jack eat his tacos?

Lotus preview the Belgian GP
24 August 2012 by TF1T Staff | M | Tweet
Kimi Raikkonen
You were second in Budapest before the summer break; how good would it be to get that elusive win at Spa?
Usually I've achieved good results at the Belgian Grand Prix, but what's happened before doesn't help me right now. Saying that though it doesn't do any harm either. Obviously it would be great to win at Spa for a fifth time. I haven't won during the first part of the season and the extra points are always good.
How has your history been at the circuit?
For me there have only been good memories from Spa and it's great to go racing there. You can't get the same kind of a feeling anywhere else. It's great to race with a modern racing car at a proper circuit that has such a great tradition.
What are the challenges of this track and do you think it should suit the strengths of the E20?
Spa offers very challenging high-speed corners and you need to get the right set-up for the car. As we've seen so many times this year, a good grid position is extremely important and it could be decisive at Spa too. Everybody knows it. It's crucial to have a strong car aerodynamically to tackle those fast corners. It's a long lap and to get a fast time you really need to maintain good rhythm. So much can depend on the qualifying result, so we need to find a decent set-up on Friday and Saturday and have a solid qualifying session on Saturday afternoon.
Why has Spa been so good to you?
Sometimes there are certain circuits where everything seems to run smoothly and then there are others where you have no luck at all. Of course, we will do our very best to win this race. I have stood in the middle of the podium a few times and I want to be there again.
Is Spa one of your favourite tracks?
I bet every driver likes Spa. For me it is the greatest racing circuit in the world. It is my favourite place. I've liked it since my first ever visit there in 2000 with Formula Renault.
How are you feeling about your championship position?
I am now fifth in the championship and obviously aiming at getting more points than the guys in front of me. The smaller the gap to the leaders is the better for me and for the team. Every race from here on is very important. The whole team is pushing 100 % and we need to beat our rivals and take more points than they do every time.
You've been close many times; would it be good to score your next Formula 1 win at the location of your most recent victory?
We always try to win; some days you get close to it and it's a bit disappointing that we haven't quite made that final step. We know the reason though; we've not been so strong in qualifying as we have in the race which makes life harder for ourselves on Sundays. Of course we would rather win than come second or third but it's a long season and I think we're improving all the time. If it comes then great, if not we'll keep trying. I've been in the business long enough that
I don't really worry about things too much. We've been improving our position in the championships - both for myself and for the team - so as long as we keep doing that hopefully the win will come.
Romain Grosjean
What are your thoughts about Spa-Francorchamps?
What a track; it's fantastic! A superb rollercoaster of a circuit, then there's the added bonus that they speak French meaning it's another home race for me after Monaco and Canada. It's going to be good. I hope the upgrades to the car are going to make the difference. If we'd had the pace we displayed at Budapest on a more normal track with better places to overtake we could have taken the win. Spa is a more regular circuit with good passing opportunities, so let's see what happens.
You haven't driven with it yet, but what are your thoughts about the new 'device' as tested by Kimi?
The interesting device! If it gives me an advantage I'm certainly looking forward to driving with it! I'm sure it will be a good thing, especially if we have it working well. Hopefully it gives us an advantage and the race win that we want.
Do you feel the team are where they need to be in terms of qualifying?
I think we're in a pretty good place now. We understand a few things a bit better and if you take the last race we had as a measure we are showing good qualifying and race pace which is what we need to do.
The E20 looks to be cementing itself as a very good race car; how much are you looking forward to driving it through the classic corners of Spa- Francorchamps?
It should fit the E20 pretty well. The second half of the season looks good in terms of how the tracks should suit the car. Hopefully we'll have everything we need to win races. I'm looking forward to it as it's a special track; it's Spa and also I won the GP2 Series title there last year. It'll be good to be back there again.
The first half of your season seemed to have something of a good weekend / bad weekend pattern. Have you done everything you can to prevent the bad weekends?
As a team, we're all doing our best to prevent these bad experiences. This year, any grid penalty linked to a gearbox change, any technical failure, any DNF caused by a collision, could lose the team a place in the Constructors' Championship. We all know what is at stake. On a personal level, I've learnt a lot from the first eleven races of the year and I'm finding my own balance, finding what is good and what is bad. I've had time in the summer break to evaluate the first half of the year and hopefully I'll come back stronger. I'm still a young driver and three podiums so far this year is a reasonable performance. I've been fighting with world champions and I'm pretty happy with where I am. However, I will never be complacent and I'll try to be a better driver at every single race.
How are you feeling in yourself?
It was good to have a holiday, especially for me as it was my honeymoon! It has certainly been an intense first half of the year, so it's good to let the body and mind get some rest and I'm coming back stronger and ready for action.
You're currently eighth in the Drivers' Championship; what can be achieved by the end of the year?
I'm just taking it race by race. It's very tight with myself, Jenson [Button] and Nico [Rosberg] all covered by only two points and there's no reason why we can't keep climbing higher. It was good to be back on the podium before the break and I think we've got a better chance than ever to win races, so let's aim for more in the second part of the season.

The growth unit of the mould Geotrichum candidum

Geotrichum candidum grew filamentously in batch culture. Hyphal fragmentation occurred during growth; mycelial fragments in the early part of the stationary phase had a mean length of 300 to 400 μm. The dry weight, total hyphal length, number of hyphal tips and turbidity of the culture all increased exponentially at about the same specific growth rate. The results suggested, the existence of a functional unit of growth consisting of a hyphal tip associated with a constant mean length of hypha. The hyphal growth unit was defined as the ratio between the total hyphal length and number of hyphal tips in the culture; for G. candidum this unit was about 100 μm long and its length remained constant when the organism's specific growth rate was varied by changes in temperature, carbon source or the incorporation of cycloheximide in the medium.

(KMOV) -- One can't fathom there is another team in Major League baseball that could lose a player like Allen Craig and seemingly not skip a beat. That's because most teams don't have Matt Adams just waiting patiently on the bench for more playing time.
Craig's injury has allowed for more at-bats for the 25-year old lefty. And all he's done is reward them with three home runs and eight RBIs in his last eight games. So the bat must be feeling pretty good these days.
"It's feeling good," Adams said. "Getting regular ABs gets my rhythm and timing where it needs to be and hopefully it continues for the rest of the season."
The Philipsburg, Pennsylvania native is hitting fourth more often with Craig out of the lineup. Does that mean Adams puts more pressure on himself to deliver big hits?
"I just have to go out there and do what I can do. The other veterans are going to step up. They've been there before. I can't put too much pressure on myself. I just have to go out there and continue to have quality at-bats," Adams said.
Craig went down with a sprained foot on September 4th against the Reds while rounding first base. He will likely miss the rest of the regular season.
Manager Mike Matheny said before Monday's game with the Nationals that Thursday is the next big day for Craig because he'll get another MRI and they'll see exactly how much that foot has healed.

As Hollywoodlife.com reported exclusively on Feb. 2, the Humphinator team wants cameras in the courtroom to prove that Kim had no intention of staying married to him. But will Kris's reality TV divorce court move work?
Kris Humphries, 27, and his lawyer, Lee Hutton, are ready to rumble as they are determined to prove to the whole world that Kim Kardashian, 31, married Kris solely to cash in on reality TV ratings. Thus, they're asking that the divorce proceedings be filmed for reality TV. (Did your head just explode? Ours did.)
Although the NBA player is trying to annul his marriage by painting Kim as a fraud, proving it in front of the cameras will prove tricky in three major ways, notes TMZ.
1) Kris is the one who proposed.
2) Kris has gotten major loot and exposure through the publicity of their wedding.
3) Kris and Kim's prenup was thorough and extensive and even discussed the future. So if Kim really planned on calling it quits right after the wedding, why would she have bothered to have a detailed prenup written up?
Do you think these points hold water, HLers?

Kris is a complete douche…he is sooo stupid and dumb. Kim is a reality tv fame whore, however is also a dumb hopeless romantic that most likely got caught up in 'fantasy' of marriage and how its supposed to be all sunshine and roses. it just took her a while to come to her sense's and see Kris is NOT the man for her. He is a complete loser, his IQ is like 70…he is not intelligent or sensitive enough of a person to hold her interest, better she found out now then when a child is involved. PPL should lighten up on her, she made a mistake…divorce rate is over 50%!
Posted at 1:00 PM on February 7, 2012
she is a horrable person who needs to find God! STOP MAKING A JOKE OUT OF MARRIAGE KIM!!! It is a spritual bond between two people. You told GOD that you would stay married to Kris for BETTER OR WORSE!!! You lied! As soon as your "honeymoon fase" wore off you left. Your nothing but a liar. Why should anybody ever believe y…..ever? You should do everybody a favor and just give Kris the annualment so at least he can make peace with God… If I was Kris I would find it very very hard to ever forgive you for messing with my relationship with the Lord.
Posted at 12:21 PM on February 7, 2012
My dad is a lawyer, I asked him and he said they don't hold any water. For one, yes Kris may have proposed, but Kim is the one who said yes. If she knew all along that they weren't going to last and only getting married because she was in "too deep" into the wedding plans and for money and publicity, it's considered fraud. Two, she can't use that against him because she's a fame whore herself. If she had MADE him into what he is, as in an NBA player, then she can use that to her advantage. But since the only real publicity he got out of her was being the bad guy on tabloids, it means nothing. And three, as for prenup, she's smart enough to know she should make it look good in case it blew up in her face and the sham marriage was revealed. Which in this case, it did and she's thinking she's going to use it to her advantage. Depending how good Kris' lawyer is, he can absolutely take Kim to court for fraud and get an annulment.

Early potato plantings slow
FOG and rain has interrupted progress with early potato planting, says the Potato Council.
Little progress has been made in Cornwall, where about 280 hectares (700 acres) has been planted and covered.
In Pembrokeshire, a token amount of Rocket and Minerva has been planted.
Planting conditions are better in Jersey, with an estimated 20 per cent of the export crop in the ground.

For the past several years colleges and universities throughout North America have come under increasing budgetary pressures. IT departments have been especially hard hit, with training budgets generally being the first resource to be sacrificed.
With this in mind, in 2004 Academic Services Group began developing special relationships with companies that provide IT training resources to the greater IT community. Each year ASG negotiates special discount procurement opportunities with these vendors on behalf of all institutions of higher learning in an effort to conserve limited institutional resources. ASG then makes every effort to share information concerning the availability of these resources through its newsletters and direct contacts within the academic community.
This program provides each participating university IT department with one year of access for their entire IT staff to 1,934 online courses covering 224 technical disciplines, collectively representing 4,639 hours of instruction. The special discount price negotiated by ASG for 2010 is just $695.00 per school - per year.
Many schools have been taking advantage of this program since its inception in 2004, and the outpouring of appreciation for this program from everyone in the academic IT community over the years has been most gratifying.
"George, your offer came at a very crucial time for us, given the heavy budget cuts that we have experienced here within the public education sector of the state of Georgia. We appreciate Academic Services Group offering this great discount pricing and we definitely want to continue to participate in your program. Please reserve our spot on your list of participating schools and keep up the good work on our behalf. Thank you." Ed Boyd - Interim CIO - Georgia College & State University
"Your training is excellent! It is current, convenient, reasonably priced and very relevant to what is happening in the real world. Your training resources have been of great value to our IT department here at Northern Michigan University" Felecia Flack - Director of Consulting & Support Services - Northern Michigan University
"Your training offer really saved us, because we simply could not afford to send our staff, most of whom are new, to outside training. When it's budget-cutting time (like now!) training is one of the first things to get the axe. But as we all know, technology is constantly changing and we're all having to learn new skills all the time. When you add in the convenience of online training, and the amazing range and depth of your courses, the decision to go with Academic Services Group was a no-brainer." David Taylor - Director, University of Texas Health Science Center, Dental Branch
"The online IT courseware from ASG is a tremendous asset for my team of Microsoft Systems Engineers. The course content is targeted to the learning objectives that my team needs in order to stay current with the ongoing evolution of Microsoft's server operating system. ASG provides an exceptional value to those looking for online course materials for IT professionals." Brian Bolt - Office of Information Technology, Boise State University

Wind River Launches Partner Validation Program Targeting Networking and Telecoms Industry
Validated Software Ecosystem Helps Customers Accelerate Product Deployments
ALAMEDA, CA – May 5, 2009 – Wind River (NASDAQ: WIND) today announced the Wind River Partner Validation Program with initial partners 6WIND, Continuous Computing, GoAhead Software, Oracle, RADVISION and Tail-f Systems. Partners in the program will provide validated solutions based on Wind River's industry leading operating systems (VxWorks and Wind River Linux) and partner technologies critical to telecom and networking equipment providers, including embedded databases, high availability middleware, networking protocols and management software.
Based on the growing need for commercial software to play a critical role in emerging next-generation networks, Wind River and its partners will focus on providing pre-integrated platform solutions for infrastructure equipment being developed for broadband wireless, wireline and enterprise networks. These growth segments include 3G, Long Term Evolution (LTE), Femtocell Gateway, WiMax, Metro Ethernet, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and enterprise data.
Wind River's software partners will validate the software components and provide testing and commercial support to customers. The primary benefits of such pre-validated solutions are that customers can reduce development, integration, and quality assurance efforts and thereby reduce overall risk while accelerating time-to-market.
"Wind River's Partner Validation Program directly addresses the increasingly important business issues of time-to-market and R&D cost savings among our customers," said Mike Langlois, general manager, Networking and Telecom Industry, Wind River. "As part of our efforts to define and enable the networking industry's software reference platforms, Wind River has hand selected industry leading commercial software companies in critical component spaces to create a preferred strategic relationship with Wind River. This is significant because now our customers can spend significantly less time and effort integrating software components to create a carrier-grade product."
As part of the program, the following partner software will be validated with Wind River's embedded software operating systems:
- 6WIND: 6WINDGate complete, embedded networking software including Fast path Slow Path and Control Plane for multicore-based designs.
- Continuous Computing: Trillium 3G, LTE, Femtocell Gateway and SS7/SIGTRAN protocol software offering a complete standards-based control plane stack implementation.
- GoAhead Software: SAFfire high availability and management middleware, the leading implementation of the Service Availability Forum open specifications.
- Oracle: Berkeley DB, a transactional embedded data manager and Times Ten, a real-time in-memory database.
- RADVISION: SIP Developer Suite, a highly versatile set of tools to accelerate SIP application development.
- Tail-f Systems: ConfD, an on-device configuration management solution for network equipment.
More information about the Wind River Partner Validation Program and solutions for telecom and networking equipment providers is available at http://www.windriver.com/partner-validation.

"Application performance in the network is becoming a key competitive differentiator for many network and telecom equipment providers," says Eric Carmès, chief executive officer, 6WIND. "Our tight partnership with Wind River has allowed us to deliver to customers an optimized networking offload Linux solution that takes advantage of performance features built into new multicore hardware systems."
Continuous Computing
"We've validated our Trillium protocol stacks and FlexTCA pre-integrated platforms with Wind River's carrier-grade operating systems," says Manish Singh, vice president of product line management, Continuous Computing. "Customers developing network elements for 3G, LTE, and Femtocell gateway applications can directly benefit from Trillium's 20 years of wireless domain expertise and strong professional services team. Together with Wind River we've created a solid reference platform for accelerating network infrastructure to market. Everybody wins."
GoAhead Software
"In order to gain a competitive edge, our customers are looking to carrier-grade, application-ready platforms that provide flexibility and enable a focus on revenue-generating applications," says Dr. Asif Naseem, president and chief operating officer, GoAhead Software. "As a long-time partner of Wind River, GoAhead has already pre-integrated our high availability software with Wind River Linux. The validation program reinforces the effort already underway and the value realized by the many mutual customers we serve."
"As a pioneer and leading provider of software enabling technologies for voice and video over IP, 3G, and IMS, RADVISION focuses extensively on next-generation network requirements," said Adi Paz, vice president of Product Management and Business Development, RADVISION. "Working closely with Wind River to validate our industry leading SIP solutions, with the latest and most advanced carrier-grade operating systems, creates an unmatched foundation for developing emerging IMS/NGN broadband services."
Tail-f Systems
"Network equipment providers are under pressure to simultaneously reduce time to market and total cost for new products, and meet increasingly complex feature and manageability requirements from operators and large enterprises," said Carl Moberg, chief operating officer, Tail-f Systems. "By integrating ConfD, our industry leading on-device configuration management product, with Wind River's industry leading carrier-grade operating systems we can bring the most advanced network management capabilities that can scale to meet changing needs of market-specific applications."

Confirmation and Assignment Information
Confirmation and Assignment Information
When applicants are confirmed to a space in the residence halls, they will receive written confirmation via the students email account. The Housing and Residential Life Office will communicate primarily through the student's Sacramento State email account. Confirmation will be after the student has completed their housing application and made appropriate payments, and appropriate space is available.
Applicants for the academic year will have the opportunity to select a room space and potential roommate/suitemate during a later phase of the application process. If applicants choose not to self-select a room space, or roommate/suitemates, the Housing and Residential Life Office will assign them. New applicants for the spring semester will be automatically assigned to available open spaces by the Housing and Residential Life Office. Finalized room and roommate information will be available for the applicants in late July or early August and for new Spring applicants in January.

+ OrdSearch
Click on an underlined ordinance in the Ordinance Table to find all sections where the ordinance is codified.
+ Table of Contents
The Table of Contents frame (the left frame) is built "on-the-fly" so it should automatically reflect the latest changes to the code. Pages that are linked from the table of contents may still be affected by cookies, so you might have to refresh a page if you don't see new provisions.
+ CodeTrak
Highlighting recently updated sections with revised text.
+ OrdAlert
Highlighting sections amended by ordinances not codified yet. Affected sections link to the new ordinance.

Starting date will determine tax
PUBLISHED: 01 Sep 2012 00:05:46 | UPDATED: 02 Sep 2012 00:48:25PUBLISHED: 01 Sep 2012 PRINT EDITION: 01 Sep 2012John Wasiliev
It is my understanding that the tax-free percentage of a super pension is set when it commences. Is this also the case for transition-to-retirement pensions?
It's correct that the tax components of an account-based pension (or allocated pension) are fixed when you start the income stream, says Colin Lewis of ipac Australia. For example, assume the tax components of a $500,000 super account are $200,000 tax free and $300,000 taxable when a pension starts. The tax-free component will be 40 per cent of the $500,000 and the taxable component will be 60 per cent. These percentages remain fixed for the life of the pension. The components are important when determining the tax payable on pensions paid if you are under age 60 or tax on death benefits paid to non-dependants. They are not relevant if you are over 60 and actively taking a pension. A non-commutable account-based pension, or a transition-to-retirement pension, is an income stream started by someone who has not retired.
These pensions, which you can start from the age of 55, differ from ordinary pensions as there is a maximum limit of 10 per cent of the account balance that can be withdrawn in a year. Otherwise, all other features are the same, including the way in which the tax components are set.
The DIY super fund my husband and I have has a leasehold marina berth as one of its assets that we'd like to transfer out of the fund for personal use. My husband is over 65 but still working. The marine berth in Queensland is worth less than we paid for it so we don't expect capital gains tax. Can we transfer this into his name as an in specie lump sum benefit? Our trust deed has a clause which seems to allow this. Will we have to pay to transfer the asset? I have done a little research and it seems there is an exemption in section 119 of the Duties Act 2001 in respect of super fund transfers.
Assuming your DIY fund's trust deed allows it, says Brad Hoffman, managing director of super administrator Pro-Super, assets can be transferred in specie to members as lump-sum payments.
Given your husband is over 65, it is not relevant whether he is still working, as all his benefits are payable upon his request. Also, being over age 60, any benefits paid are not taxable in his hands. Some evidence of the market value of the berth would probably be required by the fund's auditor when the transfer is made because he is a related party.
A formal valuation is probably not required. Evidence of recent sale prices of similar assets would be appropriate. Stamp duty is likely to be payable. Section 119 relates to different kinds of events, namely, "trust surrenders" (see sec. 56) or "trust interests" (sec. 57).
I'm wondering if I can buy gold bullion through my DIY super fund. If so, are there limits to how much I can buy and any particular requirements I need to be aware of?
Gold bullion is an acceptable investment for a DIY super fund subject to certain rules, says Alex MacLachlan of Dixon Advisory Funds Management. It would have to be within the scope of a fund's investment strategy. The bullion could not be acquired from a related party of the fund such as a member or a relative of a member. It must be valued at a market value on June 30 each year and may be subject to additional rules if it comes under the category of a collectable. Gold bullion coins become collectables if their value exceeds the value of the gold in the coin. In such circumstances they must comply with collectables regulations such as not being stored in a member's home or being available for personal pleasure. They must also be insured within seven days of being bought.
As far as straight bullion is concerned, it should also be insured and stored in a safe deposit box in a bank vault or with a gold seller like the Perth Mint. These requirements will cost the fund money. An alternative is a gold exchange traded fund that invests in bullion where holdings are valued daily according to changes in the gold price. These investments can be bought and sold through the sharemarket.

That's why we seek to provide you with high-quality academic resources that make the day-to-day a little more beneficial and fun for everyone. Explore our expansive selection for the entire family and discover the joy that awaits you on your homeschooling journey!
The field of biology focuses on living things, from the smallest microscopic protozoa to the largest mammal. In this book you will read and explore the life of plants, insects, spiders and other arachnids, life in water, reptiles, birds, and mammals, highlighting God's amazing creation. Students will learn about the following and so much more:
For most of history, biologists used the visible appearance of plants or animals to classify them. They grouped plants or animals with similar-looking features into families. Starting in the 1990s, biologists have extracted DNA and RNA from cells as a guide to how plants or animals should be grouped. Like visual structures, these reveal the underlying design of creation. Exploring the World of Biology is a fascinating look at life - from the smallest proteins and spores, to the complex life systems of humans and animals.

OT-Who's in the monster storm?
I'm south of Chicago, we've had white-out conditions since this started about 2 p.m. CT.
Took my dh & ds almost 3 hours to get home, usually takes them 45 mins. and they are saying this is just the beginning, the worst is coming overnite!
Saying it may break record set back in 1967 of 23 inches, but don't know how they'll measure it cause it's all blowing with 30 to 40 mile an hour winds.
So far, wireless internet is holding!!!
If you don't hear from me later, you'll know we lost internet service.
Anyone else in the monster storm??
Me too! I am just west of Kansas City, kinda the west end of the storm. Blizzard conditions all day, 40 mile an hour winds. Then the temp is supposed to go way down. Wind chill will be 20 below tomorrow morning. All our utilities and cable are underground, so I hope that means continued lights, etc. I'll be going to school in June at this rate!
It is too cold here to snow very much. We were -12 last night and it is supposed to go to -21 tonight! We have had light snow, but it is very dry snow and hasn't amounted to more than a few inches.
Remember when I wrote that it was 71 last Friday and I was playing golf? Well, that sure changed in a hurry!! LOL
Stay warm,
We're smack in the middle of it at the moment. Apparently there are two back-to-back snowstorms. The first started up here yesterday afternoon. We're in the mountains between Santa Fe and Albuquerque and it was beautiful here . . . then:
It snowed on and off all night and today. The snow is very light, fluffy and dry here and almost feels like fake snow, which makes it easy to shovel, at least. So far we have about 6". The wind has picked up and the temps continue to drop. It's 11-degrees here now. DD's school was cancelled today, as were most of them. Those that didn't took the students home at noon because the roads were getting worse instead of better. They're pretty bad everywhere.Very icy. The news tonight said that some places in New Mexico are 52-degrees colder than they were yesterday! NM is NOT Arizona, BTW; we have four distinct seasons. They're just USUALLY milder than Back East. Our local nightly news is saying the second storm has just arrived and will last through most of tomorrow.
I just took this pic from my dining room window. I'd show you the mountains or mesa's but visibility is bad now and you can't see them:
Right now, I'm just saying lots of prayers that DH gets back home here safely. His office is about 24 miles from here. I've made homemade Coq Au Vin for a nice, cozy dinner tonight.
Lynn, I can't even get any pictures, it's blowing so much, that nothing is sticking yet, don't know how they'll know if we beat the Chicago storm of '67, how do you measure blowing snow?
Hard to believe you're getting it that bad in NM!!!
Candy, -21 is more than I could handle no matter how much warm clothing I put on! It's bad enough here, in the 20's with 30-40 mile an hour winds.
Pat you are so lucky your utilities are underground, the icing can snap the power lines and with it this cold, no one can be without heat!
There is a map that shows this storm is still pulling up moisture from the Gulf at this hour.
Here is a link that might be useful: MAP
It's cold here at 7 but it's going below zero tonight. We aren't having any blizzards right now so that's great. This storm is horrible. We can hear some popping as the temp is falling fast!
Yachter and Pat, sounds like your weather is horrible. Stay home and safe if you can. I hate it when I'm out on those kind of roads.
Candy, we get alot of the same weather as CO here in MT. However we haven't seen 71 since early last fall. They are predicting the same lows with the wind chill here.
Lynn, hope DH makes it home ok. Your weather looks like what we had last Sunday.
Your meal, homemade Coq Au Vin sounds great! What is that? I made tator tot casserole for dinner and it's in the oven. We will have a tossed gr salad with it.
Stay safe and this too shall pass.
Looks like we might get lucky on this one and just get rain. We had freezing fog this morn and the schools were on a 2 hr delay. They have missed so much time already that they have had school on 2 Saturdays and have already forfited the spring/Easter break and it is looking like it will be up in June before they get out, They even start about 3 weeks earlier, mid Aug to compensate for snow days and they have been gone for some time. I feel for all you girls, we certainly have our share of snow and below zero wind temps here in the NC mountains.Stay safe and warm, Janet
It's here in NE IA, too. Windy today but winds picked up tonight ... gusting to 45mph...can hear the howling while sitting here at my computer in back room. We're expecting about 8" more of snow tonight/tomorrow...everything's been cancelled...no schools today or tomorrow...it's a tough one but some places further from us are expected to get 20"...ugh!
Birds were at the feeders almost all day today... DH re-filled them...it's Winter! Pics from snowy day yesterday. Take care everyone...stay home if you can...that's one of benefits I like about retirement. Jeanne S.
We're here in New England...and have been under 'Red Alert' since yesterday. We've had snow each week since Dec - w/no thaws in between. A big one last week - 27" still around w/ice underneath that has no place to go. Today more snow.. however, the 'Big Monster'...is yet to come ! We've been alerted that tomorrow, CT will be hit with an Ice Storm and to expect power outage. We have the extra food/water stored...however, they haven't been able to deliver oil to us and that's a HUGE problem..we're down to 1/4 tank. DH was on the phone this morning with the oil company... the truck hasn't been able to come down the driveway - over 150' and steep...all the snow is piled on either side making it impossible. The house is lower than the road, and the tank is to the rear of the house.
DH & I shoveled a path 200' on the side to the back.. to make way for the driver to bring down the hose...but the problem is how does he get the hose down from the truk..and will it be long enough. They told us they might have to do an emergency delivery of a few gallons in small oil cans. If it were just DH & I we'd manage..but we have the kids here..and it makes it harder in case we run out of fuel...also fear of bursting pipes.
I guess it's like they say ..'When It Rains..It Pours'..or in our case - Snows!
Hope you all are keeping safe and warm..and if you can, in bad areas... stay off the roads.
Jane, that is the worst worry, is heating your home when a storm like this hits. Your area has been hit so hard already, I surely can't complain about this one that we are getting.
I hope you can get an emergency delivery at least til they can get the truck to you.
No one can be without heat in these temps & yes, you have to keep your pipes from bursting.
Our snow has slowed down, I think they over-estimated once again for us, we probably got alot more than it looks like cause of all the blowing that went on for hours. Now that has stopped & just light snow, but I have huge drifts in my front yard & deck, will try to get pics in the daylight tomorrow.
Jeanne, I always LOVE your gorgeous bird photos! Please keep sharing them with us. I keep going back to look at them; they're that wonderful!
Jane: I hope they come up with a solution to get you some oil quickly. Shoveling all that snow was a LOT of work! I hope you all can rest up a bit now.
Yachter: yes, that wind is awful, isn't it? I couldn't measure our snow yesterday as the wind was too strong and was blowing it here, too. Stay safe and warm!
Janet: OMG, that's a lot of missed school days! I just told DD about your kids in the area having to go to school on Saurdays. She got this look of pure horror on her face ;^D
Punk: Coq au Vin is a French chicken stew made with red wine, broth, bacon, onions, garlic, tomatoes, herbs, (some add carrots) and mushrooms. It's really an easy dish to make. It just cooks a long time and the sauce becomes very rich and concentrated. I serve mine over orzo with a tray of cheeses, apples, pears and pecans to nibble on.
Here, the temps are now below zero and still dropping, but no new snow here since last night. Just down the mountain a bit, though, they got more overnight. Schools are closed everywhere today and government and businesses are on 2-3 hour delays. DH got home safely last night and just called to say that he'd gotten back to the office safely this morning, but that the roads were bad still all the way there. (Sigh!) I have to hand it to the guy, as he always thinks of his patients first. No golf for him this afternoon, though ;^D
Jeanne, I love your bird pics too!!!
I'm in the center of NY state and we seem to have gotten what was predicted for us. The roads were just AWFUL here yesterday and lots of things closed or shut down early. All schools and gov't agencies were pre-closed for today in anticipation of worse conditions. We were told to work from home (I am/will! I am in the computer business, naturally). Anyway, there is no traffic here. It's weird.
I'm on the south end...
Snow, sleet and below zero wind chill..brrrrr
It was 13 degrees this morning at 7:00, with 25 MPH wind.
I feel badly for all of you folks though. I only live 6 minutes from my work, so I have it easy. DH has been my chauffeur for the past couple of days, in the truck. My car is skittish on icey streets!
We have a big fireplace for back up heat, but we are only having rolling electrical outages of 15 to 20 minutes. Our main heat source is gas, but has to have electricity to start it and of course the fan is electric.
Ms. Slink, I'm prayin' that the oil company found a solution....that is a horror story!!
Everybody be careful and stay safe.
Hope everyone is safe (& warm) this morning! We have SUNSHINE this morn & DH is out blowing snow!
Lynninnm...so happy to see your post that DH made it home safely & bk to office this morn...bless him.
jane...good thoughts coming your way...praying that the electric & heat lasted for you all...horrible storm.
party, jay, punk, yachter, candy...anyone who has to drive to work ... be careful...ice or snow, not fun for anywhere!
Thanks, holiday-ers, for the lovely comments on bird pics...God's beautiful gifts of nature even in the cold, nasty storms...here's a couple more & I've added by PBkt link at the bottom for 2010 & pics this yr so far. Love watching them & taking pics!
Feeder hanging from arbor out LR windows...sharing feed:
Kind of a diff pic here...got this female Cardinal flying in at the arbor:
Stay safe, warm ...even those of you in "good weather"...Jeanne S.
Here is a link that might be useful: Jeannespines Birds 2010
Oh goodness, Jane! All that scooping snow and still not sure they will be able to fill the tank! Sure hope they come up with a solution for you quickly so you can stop worrying.
I'll bet there will be lots of soup and chili cooked during these cold snowy days! I heard that the groundhog did NOT see his shadow so hopefully Spring will be here quickly!
Take care all of you, those icy roads are so scary--do stay in if you possibly can.
Jeanne, your bird pictures are wonderful. I'm so glad you put food out for them too.
Still waiting for oil delivery, but with the ice storm here, no one is venturing out our way. We're keeping the heat low and wearing extra layers. Hopefully we can squeak by till they come.
Jeanne I always love seeing your bird pics. We have a few feeders out and enjoy watching, but the darn squirrels want to take over.
For all of you experiencing this terrible weather..
Yachter, Jay, Punk, Jeanne, Janet..PM..ladypat..please stay safe and don't venture out if you don't have to.
Luvs...I made a big pot of stew last night with fresh baked bread..everyone woofed it down - lol..great comfort food!
Thanks everyone for the well wishes.
I'm in the middle of Missouri, and we've been blasted with over 20" of very dry, cold blowing snow. Not sure how they measure, but many of the drifts around our home are 3-4 feet deep. However, today the sun is shining, it is 10 degrees, and our drive has been plowed, so now we can get out through the garage, as all other doors are blocked. We have a 30" drift on our covered front porch. Beautiful to look at, but so dangerous. Almost every single thing is closed here, including universities, colleges, major employers, major shopping venues, doctor's offices and clinics, and of course all schools and other activities. Essential services such as hospitals, law enforcement and power plants are operating, but even toe trucks are stuck and off the roads. It's quite a deal. Stay safe everyone, which of course, includes WARM!
No more snow here today. I guess the storm has finally passed, although the local news stations are still milking it for all it's worth! I had to take our huge rolling trash can out to the road this morning. It was below zero with a steady wind. Our drive is something like 280 feet long, and dips up and down as you go. It's tough on good days, but today I almost froze! I took Ronin (my dobie) with me, as he never got a walk yesterday when it was snowing and blowing so hard all day. We walked down two houses and had to turn back, as I couldn't talk, my face was so cold! This is not a nice storm!
Jane, I'm hoping you don't run out of oil before they can deliver some. We have radiant heat floors and adobe walls and it's still too cold in here! Thank goodness we bought an electric space heater at Costco last month. I've had it going all day and carry it from room to room with me.
Stay safe and warm everybody!
Same as Jane, here. We have had 2 ft or more of snow on the ground since the 26th of Dec. Too cold to melt, so it keeps piling up.
I am so sick of snow, and snow pics. I want to see Spring!
We lost power in the last storm, that is the pits, no heat!
Some are on wells here, so no water either.
And it's only Feb! :(
So glad to hear from so many here today. The internet pictures are frightening.
Jane, did you get any oil yet? Can you use your fireplace to keep warm if you don't get any fuel for awhile? I'll bet your back is going to hurt so bad after all that shoveling. You need a 4 wheeler or little tractor before you hurt yourselves bad.
Lynn, thanks for enlightening me on your Coq au Vin. Sounds yummy. Hope DH makes it back home sage tonight. Sorry to hear your radiant heat isn't keeping you warm.
We built a Super Good Cents Home and this is when it pays off. It's so nice and warm.
I feel so helpless with so many of you dealing with this terrible weather. We are at zero but the roads are pretty good so that's worth alot. And tomorrow is Thursday so we only have to days before we can stay home for a couple days.
Karenmo, you have a wonderful sense of humor. I'm not sure what I would be saying if we had 20" of snow with 3-4' drifts. Glad to hear you can at least get out through the garage to shovel out all your doors for safety.
Jeanne, wonderful pictures of your birds. I think you should open the door and let them come in and warm up! That's a great shot of the female flying in.
Luvs, hope you are feeling better today and thankful you live in CA.
J, so glad DH can chauffeur you on these roads. My DH goes 2 hrs before I do and drives a county truck so I can't ride with him. I drive a truck so it's been good so far this winter. I can handle the cold but when the wind blows it's terrible.
Sorry to hear of your outages. 15 to 20 minutes seems like hours when we're waiting.
Wow - just read through all this - my thoughts and prayers go out to all you caught up in this mega snowstorm. In years past these were things you just saw on the news but now with the internet and forums like this it becomes much closer to home. I pray each and everyone of you gets your oil, groceries, meds, stays warm and free from any injury, ect. I am in the SE so didn't experience anything from this storm. We have had some wicked ice in past years so can identify with some of the problems. I just could not take the cold so moved from the snow and cold 10 years ago when my late husband and I retired. Stay safe and stay WARM .....
Here's a little poem someone sent me that you just insert your state in the blanks. I think most of us qualify by now.
It's winter in __________ And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At five below.
Oh, how I love ____________
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
The weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave _______ Cuz I'm frozen to the ground!
I love good poetry, don't you?
LOL, Pat! That's a good one!
We were in the deep freeze last night -16 but that just means there's room for improvement...we got out today...snowplow has opened our country roads & life is good. Didn't lose power ...so am hoping ALL of you that experienced this STORM are now safe & getting dug out! Kudos to all those who brave these winds & cold to get us back to "normal!" Jeanne S.

I've gone past the building loads of times before and have always wondered what it's like to work there and how their product stock room must be the beauty equivalent of Vogue's fashion closet! I feel no shame in admitting that I actually had the Maybelline jingle in my head as soon as I walked towards the building.
I escaped from work early and made my way from North West to West London and arrived with plenty of time to spare to find Lipgloss86 and J signing in at reception. Others soon followed and we were whisked upstairs to their canteen area where a yummy spread of sandwiches, cupcakes and other treats had been laid out for us. Everybody mingled and had a chance to caught up as we waited for everybody to arrive.
The afternoon started with Katie introducing the brand and we were shown a promo video of images for Maybelline's 2010 campaign as well as a detailed slide show highlighting their best selling products which I found really interesting which was presented by another lady also called Katie.
One of their newest products is the new Pulse Perfection vibrating mascara, which priced at £14.99 will inevitably be compared to Estee Lauder's Turbo Lash which retails at £28. I'm looking forward to trying this eye and will try my best not to poke my eyeball out in the process.
Maybelline have also released a new lipstick line named of Color Sensational which is available in 26 shades and separated into 4 colour families of reds, pinks, browns and plums. These lipsticks are creamier and have intense pigment which makes the colour much crisper and vibrant on the lips.
What I particularly loved about this event was that we weren't just informed about their latest products, we were introduced to all their best sellers - many of which I'd heard of or seen of but didn't know much about. I loved that all the products were laid out on tables for us to try with a staff member at hand to answer questions about prices, shade availability and usage. It was like one long personalised beauty session. I loved it.
From start to finish I was really impressed with how well organised the event was, how much information was conveyed to us in such a short time and how lovely the staff were. I have nothing but praise for the organisers of this event and you all know I can let rip when I want to!
They even had the fab idea of having two make up artists on standby to re-create looks we wanted and to answer any MU application questions we had. "J" took advantage of this and asked how to recreate a glossy eye look - we knew it involved Vaseline somewhere along the way but wanted to get the look just right and the end result looked gorgeous on her.
The staff were lovely (I've said that already haven't I?), and open to all questions I threw at them - including the false lash effects they use in adverts. I've always wondered how they get away with using those shots in mascara adverts as I find them to be misleading.
I'll definitely be taking a closer look at the Maybelline stands in CVS, Duane Reade and Rite Aid next week in New York now! Speaking of New York, Maybelline is also the official make up sponsor of New York Fashion week as well as being the official make up supplier for London Graduate Fashion week - go Maybelline!
Maybelline were beyond generous to us and we all received 2 goody bags. The first containing their most popular products, the second containing their newest additions Pulse Perfection and Color Sensational lipsticks.
As if that wasn't enough, after the majority of people had left they told thos remaining to help ourselves to the products they'd put on display for us to look at - the majority being brand new and unopened!
Keep your eyes peeled for my giveaway when I get back from New York as some of the products you see will be making an appearance.
Oh and yes, the fake tan bottles you see shall be reviewed by myself (Yes I'll be venturing into the foreign world of fake tanning) to see the effect it has on darker skintones. Apparently Mary J Blige has admitted using fake tan before award show ceremonies to get the glow she's often seen sporting in photographs and Miss Virtue and I were asked to roadtest the proucts and report our findings back to Maybelline. Hmm should be interesting ...LOL
Huge shout out goes to Charlotte Bush and Claire Marlow who Miss Virtue and I were engrossed in conversation with for the best part of an hour! We were officially the last bloggers standing, still talking nineteen to the dozen with them as everything was being packed away LOL
Also thanks to Natalie and the rest of the team at Headstream. Pics courtesy of Headstream PR as I'd forgotten my camera - doh!

I think that sometimes laws are made with vague language on purpose so that it can be interpreted later on. I think that this makes statues flexible because it can be interpreted according to the circumstances of that time.
I know that some law makers get annoyed with the vagueness of some statute language. It's not easy to try to figure what people meant, especially if a statute was made a long time ago.
But I think it has many advantages. It makes the statute applicable for the long term. A very detailed statute will not be applicable in every case and it's not possible to make a different statute for each circumstance. It's better, more flexible and logical to make statutes a little vague, so that it can be interpreted according to the case at hand. It leads to dynamic statutory interpretation. This is my opinion anyway.

Hi all,
I have a problem with the demisters on my [b]1.8 16v 2001 Zetec[/b]. Settings 1, 2, and 3 do not work, but when I put them onto full power on setting 4 the demisters work no problem. Does anyone have any idea how this can be resolved and if I need any new parts where I can get them from and fit them to?
Many Thanks In Advance

Oh wow! Beautiful! Wish I had a microscope…
Incredibly beautiful. Thanks for posting this. I'll remember to be more mindful when I next walk barefoot on the beach.
WOW! Sand! Who knew??? I have a whole new appreciation for it, except when it's in my crevices.
what does the un-magnified sand look like? beautiful too?
"Once again, this broadcast is brought to you by "Sand". It's everywhere! Get used to it!" Genie from Aladdin
This is amazing and truly beautiful, but when will people stop being 'astounded' at Native American place names? Notice how the 'familiar' European name Fanore needs no disclaimer though obviously the unpronounceable and hilarious Winnebigoshish requires validation. Minnesota itself is a Native American place name!
Wow, That is so beautiful. Nature always inspires
Yep, remnants of fish poop…
Oh my! this is incredible, our Creator knew what He was doing!
m k…what does Winnebigoshish mean?
Why bit show a picture of the "sand" first? I mean was it pebbly? fine? Only half the story- so easy to give the whole one
Lake Winnibigoshish – Its name comes from the Ojibwe language Wiinibiigoonzhish, a diminutive and pejorative form of Wiinibiig, meaning "filthy water" (i.e. "brackish water"). The name is related in structure to Lake Winnipeg and to the Algonquian name for Green Bay, to which the Ho-chunk (Winnebago) Nation was named after.
I'm not that much of a internet reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it
up! I'll go ahead and bookmark your website to come back down the road.
All the best

Forty thousand people will be asked to join an electronic town hall meeting next Wednesday night to talk about transportation in the Pikes Peak region.
The event will start around 6:45 p.m. with phone calls to a random sample of 40,000 residents. They will be invited to listen and give their ideas related to transportation and funding. Those who don't get a call can join by calling 1-877-229-8493, Ext. 16138# at 7 p.m. on December 8.
Over the past two years, City funding for transit operations has been reduced from $11.9 million in 2008 to $2.6 million in 2010. As a result, transit service has been cut approximately in half, significantly affecting those who rely on the service. The rest of the local funding is provided by the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority, which includes Colorado Springs residents as well as residents from unincorporated El Paso County, Manitou Springs, Green Mountain Falls, and Ramah. Those non-Colorado Springs residents contribute funding for transit service without being represented in the transit system governance and decision-making process.

To the Residents of Durham and Middlefield:
The second of three RSD 13 School Utilization Study Community Workshops is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 11, 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Strong School Gymnasium. The workshop will again be conducted by Region 13 Utilization Study consultant, Drummey, Rosane Anderson, Inc (DRA).
The purpose of the first Community Workshop was to gather input and feedback from workshop focus groups on the needs in the school district. The workshop generated a tremendous level of community participation and the discussions were informative, thoughtful and productive.
The purpose of Community Workshop #2 is to explore a wide variety of options drafted in response to the research done and the discussions held at the first workshop session. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss these options and to offer their ideas during the workshop.
Like the first session, Community Workshop #2 will be organized around focus group breakout sessions, each devoted to discussing district facilities, educational programs, RSD 13 trends and student issues and needs.
While these series of workshops build on each other, your participation is vitally important and we encourage you to attend workshop #2 whether or not you were able to participate in the first workshop. You may also provide your comments to us at firstname.lastname@example.com or calling the Board of Education at (860) 349-7200.
A third workshop session to be held in January, 2014 will focus on the feasibility of options developed at the second workshop and will present these considerations to the Board of Education and the community.
We look forward to your continued support and participation in this important process.
Bob Fulton, Chairman
School Utilization Study Committee

Man Dies After Swallowing Cocaine During a Traffic Stop
Categories: Crime, News Roundup
Cocaine: not for eating. |
Yesterday it was reported that a man mysteriously died while in the custody of Miami Beach Police. Today details have emerged.
Twenty-one-year-old Rodrigo Alfonso Cestti was driving a white Nissan Maxima in Normandy Isles when he was pulled over in a routine traffic stop. Cestti wasn't so much worrying about whether he had run a red light or sped as he was about the stash of cocaine in his car.
To prevent the cops from finding it, he ate it. He eventually got out of the car and collapsed. He later died. Police arrested another man in the car, 25-year-old Dennis Rodriguez, who was wanted in connection with a previous shooting. [Herald]
- A total of 16 vehicles were broken into last night in North Miami, all within a one-mile area. Police say the perpetrators smashed the windows and grabbed whatever they could find. [CBS4]
- A man was shot in the chest after arguing with a woman in Southwest Miami-Dade. The report doesn't indicate if the woman shot him or her relation to the man. He is recovering. [JustNews]
- A drive-by shooting claimed the life of a man in Miami Gardens. Two men in a white van are believed to be responsible. [WSVN]
- A boat fire earlier this morning sent one man to the hospital in North Miami. [WSVN]
