Who is Joseph Smith? Nov 30, 2007
by Ludlow
Fawn Brodie's biography of the controversial founder of the Mormon faith is a beautiful read, but as the reader is drawn into the elegantly-wrought story, the tipping point between Brodie's own faith and doubt emerges as a heart-breaking subtext to what is already an amazing tale of a remarkable American, written with consummate care and scrupulous honesty. America in the 1830s and 40s, when Smith founded his Church, was a crucible for Utopians, but only Smith's religious ideas survived the 19th century to become a commonplace religious movement in the U.S. today. As with any major religious movement, the "reasons why" are really inexplicable; however, there is something in what Joseph Smith said, and how he lived, that left an indelible mark on the country. Brodie does not pull any punches about Smith's uneven career as possible confidence man and dreamer, however, his rise to the status of Latter-day Prophet is truly and well described. So much of the early history of Mormons, and especially the life and times of its founding Prophet, is forgotten, misunderstood, or ignored in the larger tellings of American history, what respected Mormonologist Jan Shipps has called "the donut hole of Western history." Brodie's book illuminates the mysterious early years of a fascinating and uniquely American faith system, and reintegrates Smith's life and times into the larger narrative of Lincoln's election and the opening of the West.
Brodie was a faithful daughter of the Church. In writing this biography - which is remarkable by any standard - she, by virtue of her special status as the beloved daughter of a powerful Church family, had access to documents and accounts no longer generally accessible to historians, it is said. Brodie was excommunicated for writing this book, which was published in 1942 by a "Gentile" or non-Mormon press, and it has been continuously in print since then. Until very recently, Brodie's book remained the gold standard for biographical information on Smith. Today, one may also read Bushman's magnificent biography, "Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling," published in 2005. As more American are wondering how Mormonism became such a force in American life, Brodie's fine and fair biography is a great place to start.

Widely known as the star of numerous stand-up comedy tours (including the highly lauded "Royal Comedy Tour," of winter/spring 2010 and 2011) playing huge theatres at home and abroad and headlining special engagements at the nation's hottest comedy clubs, Don "D.C." Curry's talents are far more than meets the eye at a single glance. At second glance you'll see him co-starring in major studio pictures or taking on the duties of leading man in indie feature films. Look again and you'll see him touring the country as the lead in a hit stage play or serving as the front man of his own R&B and Blues band. Take yet another glimpse (or listen) and you'll hear him shining as a skilled voice-over artist on hit TV shows like Boondocks. Bottom line, DC Curry is a very versatile, and extremely funny man.
The milestones of his colorful career read like a Hollywood highlight reel: In 1995, after prevailing against the top up and coming urban comedians in the country, DC won the coveted title of "Comedian Of The Year" by winning the BAY AREA BLACK COMEDY COMPETITION (of which he is now the perennial host), joining the ranks of famous alumni Jamie Foxx, D.L. Hughley, Chris Tucker, Mike Epps, Nick Cannon and Mark Curry. He went on that same year to be named "Comedian Of The Year" by the BET network (his classic bits from the early years can be seen regularly on The Best of BET's Comicview.
Next, he taped his first television special. By the next season he was hosting COMIC VIEW. After garnering the attention of industry executives, he earned a series regular role on ABC's Grace Under Fire. DC performed on such popular talk shows as HBO's critically acclaimed, THE CHRIS ROCK SHOW and THE ROSEANNE SHOW. Demonstrating his versatility, DC hosted Wesley Snipes, TNT network's martial arts special, BLADE SALUTES THE MASTERS OF MARTIAL ARTS.
In radio he spouted his comedic wisdom on one of Dallas' top radio stations for five years and he's been an on-air spokesman for California Energy Conservation. As a film actor and TV personality, he has both "chops" and notable range. He appeared as Pastor Jones on the NBC sitcom, THE TRACY MORGAN SHOW. He stars as the sadistic gangster in the crime drama, TWO DEGREES. He's the outrageous Uncle Elroy in NEXT FRIDAY, and the hilarious holiday "three-quel" FRIDAY AFTER NEXT.
He was the grumpy boss as a series regular on the aforementioned ABC'S GRACE UNDER FIRE and was an actor/singer, along with Ronald Isley of the Isley Brothers on THE STEVE HARVEY SHOW. He taped, DON "DC" CURRY-NERVOUS BREAKDOWN LIVE! his own DVD/cable TV special and CD that he also co-produced. His cable special, COMEDY CENTRAL PRESENTS DC CURRY, continues to air on that network. He's appeared twice at both the "U.S. Comedy Arts Festival," in Aspen and the "Just For Laughs International Comedy Festival" in Montreal.

Best known as the winner of Last Comic Standing Season 8, Comedian Rod Man is truly a gem in the World of Standup Comedy today. His unique delivery and voice capture the attention of audiences. Throw in his laid back style, southern charm, wit, and ability to find the funny in everyday life, and you have the ingredients for a future Comedy Star in the making.
Rod Man got hooked on comedy at a young age. He signed up for "open mic" nights at Atlanta's Uptown Comedy Club, hosted by the hilarious Earthquake. "Uptown was the place to be on Tuesday nights. The place was packed. You never knew who would stop in and do a guest spot. And you never really knew when you were going to hit the stage, because the list meant absolutely nothing to Earthquake."
Since those open mic nights, Rod has become an award-winning, quintessential entertainer. He has graced the stage at Caesar's Palace, The Gibson Amphitheater, and The Apollo Theater. He is currently the host of his own YouTube shows -- Time Out with Rod Man and That Good Funny. Rod Man is competing on the upcoming season of "Last Comic Standing" and has made many other television appearances, including "The Bad Boys of Comedy" for HBO, Martin Lawrence's "First Amendment" for Starz, Nick Cannon's "Wild 'N Out" for MTV, "One Mic Stand" for BET, "The Funny Spot" for TV One, and "The World Stands Up" for BBC America. He even co-hosted a morning drive-time show in Los Angeles on Stevie Wonder-owned KJLH Radio 102.3 FM.
Rod Man is also an actor and writer, known for his roles in Funny People (2009) with Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen, The Big Black Comedy Show, Vol. 2 (2005), and The Chocolate Sundaes Comedy Show (2013).
The world is catching on to what true Rod Man fans already know -- he's down-to-earth, crazy-funny, and truly a special talent.
Chris Franjola is a writer/comedian born and raised on Long Island who now lives and works in Los Angeles. He's currently a writer and a regular performer on E!'s hit show "Chelsea Lately." Chris also starred on the scripted comedy series "After Lately," which aired for three seasons on E! He is also the host of the Sons of Anarchy after show "Anarchy Afterword," airing live on FX. When he isn't busy writing and acting, he's performing stand-up on the road, headlining venues all over the country. Before Chelsea Lately, Chris wrote for other shows, including "Family Guy," the MTV "Video Music Awards," and the original "Chelsea Handler Show."
AFFION CROCKETT is one of the most versatile entertainers around, as an accomplished actor, writer, dancer, rapper, comedian, music producer, and director – his YouTube videos have become an internet sensation. Affion began his career as a dancer at age 10, winning breaking and popping contests with his older brother. Later on, he honed his impression skills by imitating anyone from his mother's West Indian dialect or his schoolteacher's southern drawl to the Scarface's choppy Cuban accent. Soon after, Affion combined his dance and impressionist talents to develop his stand up act. After graduating from Fayetteville State University, with a bachelor's degree in business, Affion set his sights on the entertainment industry. Affion was introduced to the world on HBO's Def Comedy Jam, demonstrating his crystal clear impressions and physical comedy, for which he was labeled the next Jim Carrey. He also shows his range with dramatic turns on CSI: NY, NYPD Blue and The District. He was also the break out star on MTV's 'Wild'n Out' and 'Short Circuitz' with Nick Cannon. He has starred on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' and 'Cedric The Entertainer's Show.' Crockett also co-starred in the films, 'Dance Flick' with the Wayans Brothers, 'Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins' with Martin Lawrence, and 'Soul Men' with Samuel L. Jackson and the late Bernie Mac. He is currently co-starring in 'A Haunted House' parts 1 & 2 alongside Marlon Wayans and the upcoming film 'The Wedding Ringer' with Kevin Hart. Affion is also best known for his comedy niche with online sketch / parody videos garnering over 50 million views on YouTube. This caught the attention of Hip-Hop Mogul, Russell Simmons and resulted in the launch of an original online comedy series titled 'Hustles with Russells' starring the two. This also sparked multiple viral commercial campaigns. For one commercial Affion starred alongside Dr. Dre, and Lebron James, as well as one for Jay-Z's clothing line Rocawear, where Affion impersonates Jay-Z and the French twin dancers Les Twins. Affion has also partnered with Russell Simmons and Def Pictures to produce and star in films written by and starring Crockett. In the summer of 2011, Affion starred in and executive produced his own sketch comedy show for FOX called 'In the Flow with Affion Crockett,' which was executive produced by Jamie Foxx. The series evealed a fresh take on pop culture with spoofs of movie trailers, commercials, TV shows, music videos and celebrities. Affion released his first comedy rap album in 2012 titled WATCH THE CLONE, with spoofs of popular artists like Jay- Z, Kanye, Eminem, 2 Chainz and more. Available on iTunes now!
A longtime fixture of radio's Howard Stern Show, comedian Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling was born and raised on Long Island, NY. He earned a degree in mechanical engineering from Michigan State University in 1971.
While touring as a national headliner, Martling released three comedy lp's, 1979′s "What Did You Expect?," 1980′s "Goin' Ape!," and 1981′s "Normal People Are People You Don't Know That Well." He blindly sent the three LP's to Howard Stern upon Howard's arrival at WNBC-AM in New York City in 1982, and Howard called him to make a guest appearance on his radio show. in 1986, Jackie became a full-time cast member and the head writer of Stern's show.
Jackie left the show in 2001 after fifteen-year run as head writer of the radio show, four television series, and three Pay-Per-Views. He's released five dirty joke CD's, three videos, five joke books, and is currently being seen in the red-hot comedy documentary, "The Aristocrats," and over a dozen other independent films. He has owned and operated a dirty joke line for the last 27 years, (516) 922-WINE, and he wrote the joke page for Penthouse magazine for 17 years.
He still works all around the country, performing his solo act of rapid-fire filthy jokes and the classic finale, "Stump The Joke Man," is about to release a CD of his original music entitled "Happy Endings," and is currently doing his own radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio 101, "Jackie's Joke Hunt."
Currently featured on the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show, Dominique reaches more than 8 million listeners each week in more than 115 markets with her high-powered comedy segment. From clubs across the country to Comedy Central's hit "Chapelle's Show", she's showing America what a comedienne is.
She began honing her skills unprofessionally as a civil servant on the nightshift as a postal worker at the now infamous Brentwood Postal facility in her native Washington D.C. "I knew something like that was gonna happen. I used to see all kinds of stuff that terrorist could use, come through that post office. But that was back in the good ole' Timothy McVeigh days", she quips about the nation's anthrax scare. Boredom with the job and fear of going postal, gave way to open mic nights at local clubs, at the behest of friends and co-workers. Dominique immediately gained a reputation for telling it like it is; raw and uncut and unknowingly garnered a loyal following. Washington's uppity audiences gravitated toward her mixture of politics, street culture and current events. Her strong presence and a bravado rarely seen in female comics quickly gained the attention of the producers of HBO's "Russell Simmons's Def Comedy Jam", the show that changed comedy forever. She went from shuffling mail to working with the likes of Chris Rock in no time, "I didn't do anything special. I just talked about what I knew and the next thing you know I'm on T.V. I quit that job and took about 20 books of stamps. I figured they owed me." Needless to say, she never looked back.
Sensing that she had outgrown D.C.'s small comedy scene, she moved to the Bronx, which wasn't a far cry from Southeast, D.C., and became a fixture at the clubs in New York. Places like the Comic Strip and Stand Up New York served as testing grounds for her new material. By chance, on a Wednesday night at a small club on the lower eastside, she met SNL's Tracy Morgan who made Dominique his opening act for his run at Caroline's on Broadway. The two formed a friendship and have been working together ever since. Being Tracy's feature however, wasn't enough to keep the bills paid; So, Dominique became what she calls a 'hustler', performing all over the country to make ends meet. From Caroline's in New York, to The Improv in Chicago, D.C, Florida and Miami, to LA's Laugh Factory, to the Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage 2008 Cruise and every club in between, Dominique has wowed audiences with her straight forward wit and comedic standpoint reminiscent of Mom's Mabley.
Upon her arrival in Los Angeles, Dominique began making the rounds in Hollywood's comedy clubs as well as the smaller, lesser known spots in LA. "I like telling jokes in mainstream clubs as well as underground spots 'cause it keeps me fresh no matter where I am." And fresh she is. Since that time she has enjoyed a run on the highly successful Mike Epps "On the Edge" Tour and numerous television appearances including the fresh new Byron Allen's "Comics Unleashed", the Tom Joyner "Sky Show", HBO's On-Demand "Ask-A-Sista" and "Big Black Love." She has also participated in Urban Internationals Comedy Arts Festival better known as "Laffapalooza" as well as the Bay Area Comedy Competition in Oakland. Dominique has become a club staple and continues to tour clubs and colleges around the country.
He played the bad guy on Celebrity Fit Club and has been hailed as the "Dark Prince of Comedy". Dustin Diamond is a pop culture icon, and is best known for his role as Screech on Saved by the Bell. Dustin played Screech through all 10 seasons of the show, and to this day, Saved by the Bell is still seen in syndication 16 times per week in 105 countries.
For the past 17 years, Dustin has toured the world as a stand-up comedian. His act is suitable for the now grown-up fans of Saved by the Bell. It is adult-oriented, hilarious, and definitely not the same squeaky-clean, Saturday morning comedy that he spent 10 years doing as Screech. In his act, Dustin touches on life's most important topics – grandma porn, farts, and the secrets of the female sex.
In addition to stand-up comedy, Dustin has been involved in reality television, indie movies, and numerous other projects. Most recently, he played himself in Better Reach Screech, The Nerdist's parody of Breaking Bad. He appeared on the British reality series Big Brother, and was also seen on Oprah's Where Are They Now?, in which he touched upon topics such as his tell-all book Behind the Bell, and other previous media stunts.
Dustin's other interests include playing video games, following all things "nerdy," and playing the bass guitar. In 2003, Dustin and his band, Salty the Pocketknife, released their first and only self-titled album. For more on Dustin and to hear what he has to say, you can follow him on Twitter, @dustindiamond.
American comedian and actor Red Grant has remained one of the top comedians on television over the years, gaining millions of fans from all walks of life. Born and raised in Washington, DC, Red has gone to heights many performers can only dream of, doing things that few comics
have done since Robert Townsend. Getting his start at the Apollo Theatre and HBO's Def Comedy Jam in 1996; Red Grant is best known for his contagious laugh and appearances in American Hustle (which he starred next to Katt Williams), First Sunday and Martin Lawrence First Amendment. Red Grant has become synonymous with "real, raw comedy." He can be seen most recently on Shaq's All Star Comedy Jam, as well as his hour Showtime special "Caught Red Handed" and Comedy Central Presents "Red Grant" (half hour special). Not only is Red Grant a star in the comedy world he is also making a name for himself as a film and television producer, writer and director. In 2000, Red wrote and produced his first film
Family Reunion. Since then, Red has created and produced seven shows and pilots for the Viacom Network. Red has written on shows such as Snoop Dog's, Dog After Dark and the Comedy Central roast of Flavor Flav. Red Grant does all this through his film company MOVIEOS where he has partnered up with companies such as Lions Gate and Artisan.

In order to measure the glucose level in the body tissue of a subject (1), a probe (5) is applied the subject's skin. Electric pulses from a pulse generator (2) are fed to the probe and partially reflected back to a measuring device (7), where a time resolved measurement is made. The charge obtained from an integration of the measured voltage is transformed to a glucose level using data from a calibration table (9). This method allows to monitor glucose non-invasively.
1. A device for measuring a glucose level in a sample comprising
a probe (5) having an end (6) to be applied to the sample,
a pulse generator (2) for generating electric pulses in the probe (5),
a measuring device (7) for measuring pulses reflected from the end of the probe (5), and
an analyzer (8) for determining at least one parameter (Q, V, IQ, ε*) of the reflected pulses measured by the measuring device (7) and for determining the glucose level from said parameter.

11. A method for measuring a glucose level in a sample comprising
applying an end (6) of a probe (5) to the sample,
feeding electric pulses to the probe (5),
measuring a voltage (V) depending on pulses reflected from the end of the probe (5), and
determining at least one parameter (Q, V, IQ, ε*) of the voltage and determining the glucose level from said parameter.
The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring glucose in a sample, in particular in a sample of living body tissue.
Various non-invasive methods for measuring glucose in body tissue have been known. In particular, U.S. Pat. No. 5,792,668 by Fuller et al. describes a device where a square wave signal or a plurality of sine waves with differing frequencies are fed to a first electrode applied to the tissue. A second electrode is used for measuring a signal transmitted through the tissue. The phase and/or amplitude of the transmitted signal are used for determining the glucose level.
Hence, it is a general object of the invention to provide a method and a device for the non-invasive measurement of glucose.
This object is met by the independent claims. Accordingly, an end of a probe is applied to the sample. A pulse generator is used to generate single pulses to be fed into the probe. The pulses are reflected at the end of the probe, which acts as a fringing capacitor with field lines extending into the specimen, and the reflected pulses are measured by a reflection measuring device. An analyzer is used for determining at least one parameter of the reflected pulses and for determining the glucose level from this parameter or these parameters, e.g. by using calibration data stored in a memory.
In this context, the term �pulse� is understood to encompass not only isolated pulses having a rising and a trailing edge, but also pulses consisting of a rising or a trailing edge only, i.e. isolated transitions of the voltage level applied to the probe.
The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings, wherein:
The preferred embodiment of the present invention is based on Time Domain Spectroscopy, where a pulse if fed to a probe, and end of which is applied to a sample, and where the time resolved characteristics of the reflected pulse are analyzed. For an overview and description of the theory of this method, see:
The disclosure of Ref. 2 is being incorporated herein by reference.
An embodiment of a device for measuring the glucose concentration in a sample 1, in particular in the living human body, is shown in
Pulses reflected from end 6 arrive back at node 4 and are fed to a measuring device 7. In the present embodiment, measuring device 7 records the reflected pulses in time resolved manner.
The data from measuring device 7 are digitized and fed to an analyzer 8, such as a computer system, where they are processed. Using calibration data stored in a calibration table 9, analyzer 8 converts the data to a glucose level, which is e.g. displayed on a display 10.
A first embodiment of a probe 5 of Chebishev-type symmetry as described in Ref. 2 is shown in
A second embodiment of a probe 5 is shown in
As described in Ref. 1, an integration of the voltage traces of
Experiments show that the traces of
Hence, in a preferred embodiment, measuring device 7 is designed for carrying out at least one, preferably more than one, measurement in the range of 10 to 1000 ns after the generation of the pulse.
The duration of a pulse is preferably at least 10 ns since the relevant polarization processes were found to set in at this time scale.
When ignoring the measured point at t=26 min (considered to be an outlier due to a sudden movement of the subject while drinking the glucose solution), the points show a clear increase of the charge after approximately 40 min when the glucose level in the subject's tissue starts to increase.
By running a calibration measurement where Q(t=19 ns) as shown in
For this purpose, the conventionally obtained glucose level cgl and the charge Q measured in the calibration measurement can e.g. be fitted to a function f using one or more parameters p1, p2, . . . , i.e. cgl=f(Q, p1, p2 . . . ). The parameters p1, p2 . . . can be stored in calibration table 9, such that, during a later measurement, f(Q, p1, p2 . . . ) can be calculated for any value Q. The function f(Q) can e.g. be a straight line (i.e. f(Q, p1, p2)=p1 +Q�p2) or any other function that is found empirically or theoretically.
In the examples shown so far, measuring device 7 carries out a time resolved measurement of the reflected pulses. This data is digitized and integrated in analyzer 8 as described in Ref. 2 for calculating the charge Q(t) at t=19 ns. In another embodiment, the integration could also be carried out by analog circuitry before converting the charge Q(t=19 ns) to a digital value.
Also, the integration could be started at a time later than t=0 because the period up to t=1 ns shows only a very weak dependence on the glucose level (see
The parameter measured by measuring device 7 is the voltage V(t) applied to probe 5, which includes a contribution of the reflected pulse. It is the sum of the input voltage V0(t) and the reflected voltage R(t). Instead of integrating the voltage V(t) as shown in Ref. 2, it is also possible to use V(t=19 ns) directly or to use another characteristic value derived from V(t), for example:
While there are shown and described presently preferred embodiments of the invention, it is to be distinctly understood that the invention is not limited thereto but may be otherwise variously embodied and practiced within the scope of the following claims.

New post: Joey Chestnut Eats 9.5 Pounds Of Turkey In 10 Minutes (Edit) (tilliespuncturedromance)
This is a wonderful and inspiring story of a man who does one simple thing every day to protect a place he loves from environmental disaster. The thing is, he's been doing this for 35 years, and in the end, he's achieved something really incredible. What an example.
This wow film was made by William Douglas McMaster forPolygon Window Productions. McMaster's on a Facebook, and there's a Facebook page for the movie, too.
Police for the New Jersey Port Authority said Richard Thompson didn't do that.
Investigators allege he had 50 grams of pot in his backpack when he showed up at the Fort Lee Municipal Court Thursday morning.
He was in court to answer to those charges, and went through the normal security screenings.
While he was being searched, officials allegedly found 50 grams of marijuana,two packages of rolling papers and an unrolled cigar wrapper commonly re-used to smoke marijuana, Port Authority spokesman Joe Pentangelo told NorthJersey.com.
Thompson was arrested on marijuana and drug paraphernalia charges. The arresting officer, Steve Pisciotta, is the same cop who arrested Thompson on marijuana and drug paraphernalia charges back in May, according to the Cliffview Pilot.
Accusations like this can really harsh a dude's mellow.
A former UPS employee in Arizona is accused of stealing a package containing a $160,000 diamond and trading it for $20 worth of weed, ABC-15 reports.
Walter Earl Morrison, 20, thought that the package he allegedly swiped while unloading cargo at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix contained cash, according to a probable cause statement obtained by The Smoking Gun. In fact, the package contained one pricey stone.
Authorities say the "half-baked bandit" traded the diamond for the equivalent of two joints of marijuana.
The diamond was later recovered and returned to its intended recipient.
Morrison was arrested Sept. 16 on a felony theft charge. He is scheduled for arraignment Oct. 1.
The identity of the buyer was not released, but the purchase price bested the previous record of $1.2 million paid in 2010 for John Lennon's lyrics to "A Day in the Life" from "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
Lyrics to another Dylan classic, "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," sold for $485,000, according to Reuters, at Sotheby's first dedicated music history sale in more than a decade.
Other items in the sale included memorabilia from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley, with pre-auction estimates ranging from as little as $200 to $300 to $1 million to $2 million for the draft of "Like A Rolling Stone" that Dylan wrote on stationery from the Roger Smith Hotel in Washington.
According to Sotheby's, the lyrics were put up for auction by a man identified only as a fan from California "who met his hero in a non-rock context and bought [the lyrics] directly from Dylan."

Man angry after police break into and damage his truck over dubious marijuana suspicion
The note police left was left on a tiny piece of paper:
your car was checked by TPD K-9. The vehicle was searched For marijuana due to a strong odor coming from the passenger side of the vehicle. Any questions call [phone number]
Cpl. Fannin
Mr. Heller is frustrated that police decided to rip his car apart, telling WFLA he would have been happy to let them in the car himself and search without having to cause damage. The truck they ransacked is one he uses for his business, saying, "I've got my whole life savings into this truck. It's like a marketing tool for my business to promote the air horns and everything, just…The horns weren't working, all the electronics were ripped out." Oh, and they didn't find any marijuana because Mr. Heller didn't have any.
WFLA asked the Tampa Police Department for comment and was told, "While the search is legal, it is not typical. The Tampa Police Department is now reviewing the specifics of this investigation." Mr. Heller's attorney, Dominic Fariello, doesn't agree with the assertion that the search was legal. Mr. Fariello, speaking with the Tampa Bay Times, wondered if his client's car was singled out because of its appearance. He told the paper, "It sounds like they saw this vehicle and said, 'There's probably drugs in there. Let's go find them.' It's almost like they profiled his truck. I like to call it vehicular discrimination."
Mr. Heller and his attorney have asked for documentation on the search but have not heard back. Meanwhile, they believe the Tampa Police Department should pay for the damage they caused.

Talk about living off the grid…
About 25 years ago, Mick Dodge shed his shoes, grew his beard, and left modern civilization (and a family) to live alone in the Pacific Northwest's Hoh rain forest.
But he's not a total isolationist; he's dialed into a community of mountain dwellers and agreed (although it took convincing) to be the subject of National Geographic Channel's series "The Legend of Mick Dodge."
In the first story, Dodge's mission is to scatter his late father's ashes up in the mountains — if he can recall where he stashed them.
"My family has perfected the art of dodging civilizations for hundreds of years. All I have to do is follow my feet," says the backwoods philosopher.
He's a memorably quirky character with a unique take on life, as this interview illuminates.
MNN: What was your life like before you moved to the woods? Did you have a job? Did you get an education?
Mick Dodge: Yes, as a heavy equipment mechanic. I have also dug ditches, chopped wood, washed dishes, and taught the Earth Gym practices. I graduated Kubasaki High School in Okinawa, Japan. Never been to college, but like to read books. If the book makes sense and has value for the earth, I plant a tree and share the book. If the book does not make sense, I plant a tree for it and use it as [toilet] paper or fire starter.
My life was about the same as it is now, learning the ways to walk and explore physical exercise and how to create a physical practice that finds the middle ground between the wild and tame, between the gated wild and the walls of modern domestication. However, I must add that I have no feet pain, back pain and my heart is strong [since] I became a barefoot nomad.
What prompted you to go to the forest in the first place?
My feet hurt. I had hammertoes, plantar fasciitis, deformed feet. They hurt so bad that I could barely walk and I had always used my walk and run to handle the stress of modern living, make sense of the modern world story that I was living in, and the Hoh is home for me. So I went home to heal my feet.
In following my feet I found myself stepping out of the insulation of the modern world and landing in the earth. The results came quickly. Not only were my feet healing, but my back pain, neck pain and most of all my heart pain disappeared, and in no time at all I was back into a dead run, stepping out of the sedentary, stressed, sedated and secured living of the modern world. I was muscling my mind into the heart of the matter.
I was dancing as the fire, running as the wind, strengthening as the stone and flowing as the water within, by the simple act of touching with my bare soles and allowing the Earth to teach. It is a simple matter to follow your feet, but is does not come easy. The Earth will eat you if you are not paying attention.
Is there anything you miss about modern civilization?
I don't miss it. There is no way to get away from it. So I developed a physical fitness practice in how to step in and out of it, stepping out of the walls, machines, electronics, social babble for awhile, ground back into the natural flow of the land, and then go back in.
Going barefoot, did you ever injure your feet?
On one of my long running quests in my bare soles into the highlands of the Olympics, I was taught a lesson by the mountain. It was early winter. The snows came and I almost lost my toes. I had no footwear with me.
It was a 30-mile walk out. So I cut up my moose hide jacket and had to make a set of mukluks to protect my feet. It was then that I realized that … I better shift my attitude and vow about bare footing. It was a powerful teaching. I learned the meaning and wisdom of the old saying of my elders. "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."
How difficult are the winters for you, with diminished resources?
It is not difficult at all. It is an adventure and I have never had to deal with diminished food sources. I just follow my feet. There is not much that I do not eat. I am an omnivore, able to eat a wide variety of food, which also means that I learned how to become a scavenger and allowed the hunger in my belly to guide me into discovering all kinds of food.
For example, I would come upon an elk killed by a cougar. When a cougar kills an elk, the entire forest moves in to eat. So I do the same. I often come upon road kill. Many people are scared of such food and yet they eat jerky… and jerky is nothing more than sun-dried meat.
So what I eat during a normal week changes depending upon which one of the three terrains that I am footing my way through. But there is one highly spiritual food that I try to maintain in my stashes and storage places and that is chocolate-chip cookies. My grandmothers got me hooked on them.
Have you had any close call animal encounters?
I was footing my way along the road headed for my home camp, when some idiot talking on a cellphone, doing at least 80 miles per hour, almost hit a deer and then me. The most dangerous encounters that I have ever had in the gated wild, walls of the city and in the open fenced lands are with two footed creatures.
What do you do if you get sick? Have you ever had an emergency situation?
Fire is one of the elements of the forest that I have learned to develop a relationship to use in healing. Another key element in healing is water. After all, we are all walking sacks of water. I found during those times when I had been around people from the city, I would catch some kind of cold or flu.
I would enter back into the Hoh and drink the water and soak my entire body in the glacial water. My grandfather called it "kissing the foot of the glacier."
There are all kinds of mushrooms, herbs, etc. to be used for healing, and I keep a close relationship with those in the Earth communities that master the healing and herbal arts, such as my friend Doc Gare, who is introduced in the series.
Does this lifestyle give you a heightened appreciation of Mother Nature?
Appreciation is such a weak word to express what I feel for the Earth and the transitions that I have gone through and am still going through. Hell, I am just getting started. One of the ways that was taught to me on one of my long gated wild quests was to break free of the polarization of the modern world.
People always trying to put you in box. By getting some distance from the comforts, habits, physical structures like shoes, machines, walls, electronics, I find myself seeking out what makes sense, what fits, and integration of the wild and tame make sense. So l learned to hunt and track the middle path, the middle way. It is not easy at times figuring out the middle way between the modern world and the Earth. But it is fun and adventure.
What's the best and worst part of this lifestyle?
Wherever there is good there is bad. That is the game of life. My passion in life is to explore, engage, challenge and balance whatever comes in the three terrains that I run through.
I don't imagine there are many mountain women out there. Do you get lonely?
On my journey, I have formed so many wonderful connections with women, formed strong brother-and-sister relationships with them. I may not be able to figure out what they are always talking about. But if their soles are touching the Earth, I am more able to figure it out.
A few years ago my path wandered into the Cedar Woman. We share a common vision of these Olympic Mountains and a deep musing of the lands, and in order for a vision to manifest from the Earth it takes a mission — a mission brings it to a physical reality.
Cedar, along with others, created the Olympic Mountain Earth Wisdom Circle. Our lives are guided by the musings that come from living in a deep connection with the Earth, and Cedar holds the feminine wisdom fire of our hearth, which I keep coming back to, what I call the base camp.
Why did you agree to do a TV series?
I have three passions in life: the first one is my teacher, the Hoh river in these lands of the Olympic Mountains, and I wanted show what the Hoh has taught me about training and living. My second love and passion is my community, my clan that is spread out all through the three terrains. And my third passion is a calling and vision that I have been pursuing and running as long as I can remember, and that is to train and share a physical practice in the Earth Gym.
I'm guessing you don't have a television. But how do you feel about being famous and people possibly coming to look for you, invading your privacy and solitude?
The last time I watched television, I was very young and it bored me. I have looked at some clips of what the crew shot. I love the scenery. I love seeing my brothers. But I will not watch them, mainly because I cannot stand to see myself on television or hear my voice, and I am not a legend. The land is the legend.
Fame is a snare used by the modern to trap and confine the spirit. Fame is one of those ways of the modern world that always comes with blame and shame. I will run from it, dodge it. After all, I am a Dodge.
If any one comes looking for me, I will be out to steal their shoes, hand them a stick and rope, show them the stones and how to sack a practice in the Earth Gym.
What do you think people will make of the show? Will they think you're crazy or be secretly envious?
I have no idea and don't give a s**t. You will have to ask them. When I began bare-footing, I discovered a wonderful way to explore our common cultural story. I would foot my way into the city, enter into a store barefoot. I found some liked it and would begin to reflect upon times when they walked barefoot. Others hated it, mocked it and even became angry. What was interesting to me is that they were even looking at my feet. I mean, all of us are two-footed animals. It is what has made our species.
I don't have the time or desire to figure out what people think. It was once said that this is the "land of the free and the home of the brave." It is becoming more like the "land of the free and the home of the caged." I don't know what people think. But I wish they would just think about not screwing up the land that we walk in.
What else would you like audiences to know?
Just stand up, step out of your shoebox and walk around through your habitat, your local area. When you do perhaps you will begin to notice some simple things. What will happen when you begin to follow your feet? I have no idea, no one does. I only know my own story. But I also know this: all of us are storytellers, so I hope people step out long enough to feel into the remembering, develop a practice of recovery and begin restoring their footing with the earth.

LINCOLNTON, N.C. – Police say a man in North Carolina sucked a woman's toes at a Wal-Mart after he convinced her he was a podiatry student and persuaded her to take off her shoes.
Detective Dennis Harris said the woman agreed to try on several pairs of shoes at the discount store in Lincolnton, and that at some point during the process, the man stuck her foot in his mouth. Harris said the man apparently tried the same thing at another Wal-Mart 15 miles away, where he told a woman he was conducting a survey on the feet of different races and nationalities.
The second woman also agreed to take off her shoes, but left when the suspect asked her to remove her socks.
Both confrontations happened Monday. Police are looking for the man.
NORRIDGEWOCK, Maine – Police armed with assault rifles descended on a man's home after members of a tree removal crew he'd told to clear off his property reported that he had a gun.
Turns out the "gun" the tree crew had seen on Michael Smith was just a life-sized tattoo of a handgun on his stomach.
Smith, who works nights, was asleep when the tree crew contracted by a utility to trim branches near power lines, woke him up at about 10 a.m. Tuesday.
He went outside shirtless and yelled at the workers to leave. When he's not wearing a shirt, the tattoo looks like a gun tucked into his waistband.
Smith tells the Morning Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1l37m2f) the tattoo has never been a problem before.
Police didn't charge him.

this is soo.....
beautifully melodic....
i loved the silence and tapping of the keystrokes...
its perfectly beautiful... and a nice loop.
it worked perfectly in the 4th tribute :D
thank you
Ah, this is the 50th review; you, friend, have just set a record for me! :O I have been waiting a long time for this, and you have helped me in achieving my goal. Even better, you used it in a flash. This is a great 4th of July present! :D
I watched the flash and liked it a lot. Thanks for the kind review and for using this song in your flash. :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
It's melancolic, and a bit sad. Makes me imagine an old man in his chair by the fireplace, thinking about his loved ones who perished all, and how now he is alone and helpless.
That's a depressing image. :( I suppose it fits the mood of the song, though.
Thanks for the review! :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Wheres the rest?
This is an amzing loop, i just sorta happned to be looking into the newgrounds music thing for the first time, and happened to stumble across your stuff, it is really good, now im not an expert in music and reading some of the reviews i may need a musical dictionary to figure some of the words out but i will say that this really is an excellent song, i just wish it was longer
Hahaha, I understand how "music language" can look fairly complicated at first glance. At least your honest, though! xD
Thanks for the great review; it is really encouraging to read them! I will see what I can do to make this loop longer, as it holds a lot of sentimental value for me. :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I really like this loop, only wish that you could complete the song. Good job on it.
Thank you Vlak! I will work earnestly to one day finish this loop. :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I wrote poetry to this...
And....just...completely forgot about...everything.....You can't even tell when it loops..this song is like...hypnotic....I like it!
Hypnotic? That is interesting, as I've never had my music described as such. Thanks for the comment! ^_^

WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to intensify pressure on Russia, President Barack Obama on Thursday expanded U.S. economic sanctions against Moscow over its actions in Ukraine, targeting President Vladimir Putin's chief of staff and 19 other individuals as well as a Russian bank that provides them support.
Obama, warning of more costs to come for the Kremlin if the situation worsens, said he also had signed an executive order that would allow the U.S. to penalize key sectors of the Russian economy, including its huge energy business. Officials said Obama could act on that authority if Russian forces press into other areas of Ukraine, an escalation of the crisis in Crimea.
The president said the latest penalties were the result of "choices the Russian government has made, choices that have been rejected by the international community."
"Russia must know that further escalation will only isolate it further from the international community," Obama said, speaking from the South Lawn of the White House.
European Union leaders, too, said they would expand the number of people targeted with various sanctions and indicated they would cancel an EU-Russia summit. Chancellor Angela Merkel told the German parliament that if the crisis deepens in Crimea and Ukraine, the EU is prepared to move to economic sanctions on a higher level.
Russia retaliated quickly by imposing entry bans on American lawmakers and senior White House officials. Among them were Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Obama's senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer and his deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes, were also targets of the Russian entry bans.
Boehner's office said the speaker was "proud to be included on a list of those willing to stand against Putin's aggression."
The new American sanctions hit close advisers to Putin, including Sergei Ivanov, the Russian president's chief of staff and a longtime associate. Also targeted were Arkady Rotenberg and Gennady Timchenko, both lifelong Putin friends whose companies have amassed billions of dollars in government contracts.
Also sanctioned: Bank Rossiya, a private bank that is owned by Yuri Kovalchuk, who is considered to be Putin's banker.
The U.S. sanctions followed a first round of U.S. economic penalties ordered earlier in the week on 11 people the U.S. said were involved in the dispute in Ukraine. Russia moved its military into Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula three weeks ago and has since formally annexed the strategically important region into its borders.

Is it Stink Bugs?
Lost two Anaheim peppers today to some sort of insect. My neighbor says she can't let her tomatoes vine ripen because of "stink bugs"--is that what's going on here? What to do?
Don't mind the dampness in this picture. It won't stop raining here in VA.
This post was edited by plantgrrl on Wed, Jul 17, 13 at 17:16
Hmm...that's the weird thing, when I look under the leaves, I get nothin'! There are caterpillars all over my cabbage family stuff, but not on the nightshade family stuff. What about slugs? Lots of those, I just didn't think they would damage the fruits like that...
A little damage on the green peppers, but not the cayennes at all, are they too "hot" for them. I'm just perplexed.
I just scavenged around all of the peppers, not a single hornworm in sight (thank god! Those things look monstrous!). I did spy at few slugs on top of the cayennes...but they just met their maker...These plants really aren't large enough to hid something as large as a hornworm without me noticing. :( Unless they hid during the day? I mean I checked under all the leaves and along the stalks.
They're monstrous but they're sneaky-- you can be standing there staring at your plant and he's munching away on top in plain sight. And no to the "too hot" question... 2 attacked my Naga last year -- left the others alone.
You could have TWO culprits -- slugs or caterpillars for the leaf damage and something else(maybe a rodent) for the fruit.
Shucks! I'll have to keep an eye on the Habs and Cayennes then. Talked to the neighbor again, she says we don't have Tomato Hornworms in Lynchburg, VA (suppose I'll double check) she insists it's the stink bugs.
The fruits themselves, it's hard to see in the picture, but it looks like a spot where the bug gnawed a hole and then papery, rotty skin in streaks and around the hole. I don't know if after the hole is chewed it rots from all the wet we're having or if the papery rotting is from the insects.
Pepper weevils have been seen as far north as VA, but it seems unlikely. Esp. because there weren't any bugs inside the pepper.
If I get desperate, would some kind of "bagging" over the fruit...mesh or old nylons, let them ripen, or would that keep too much moisture next to the fruit?
I have been dealing with horn worms this season for the first time. You will not see the horn worm without very close inspection they have nearly perfect camouflage. You WILL see the demolished portions of the plant they are on, there is no mistaking it. They eat ludicrous amounts per day and can strip half a pepper plant overnight (they feed at night, actually). If you see entirely stripped sections of foliage then you pretty much know there is horn worm nearby.
I always find them withing a foot or 2 of the damage, they eat constantly so they leave a nice trail to follow. I found one that was just over 5 inches long a couple weeks ago!
plantgrrl: Not sure of the eating habits of stink bugs.
I find it hard to believe you don't have hornworms in VA... maybe your neighbor meant TOMATO hornworm and that MAY be correct. Because TOBACCO hornworms are what prevails in the southern latitudes. Doesn't matter -- hornworms of any kind will munch on pepper plants of any kind. Maybe you're lucky and you don't get them -- that would be nice!
Sure..mesh, tulle,.nylons would be great I suppose.
Good luck.

This looks very much like slug damage to me. I have lots of them and set traps for them, go out on slug patrol after sundown, and have recently put down some slug bait since I have no animals. They will completely take the leaves off pepper plants, and I have even found some of them make holes in bell peppers. Earwigs will also do this, but they usually nibble around the edges of the leaves. I have had stink bugs (Saw only 2 so far this year) but they attack my flowers and buds. Go out at night with a flashlight and you will catch the culprit.
@Phildeez--that really settles it then. They are not defoliating. There are some holes in leaves and some leaves that are growing in twisted. Some of the peppers have been snacked on, some with rot, some not. But no "trails of destruction" as it were.
@woohooman--You seem tense...if you'll go back and reread I specifically said "Tomato Hornworm." And looking it up, it would seem VA does have them. Though they are more prevalent in other parts of the "Piedmont" then ours, so she could be right about Lynchburg, specifically--esp. since I haven't seen any hawkmoths--but you can bet I'll be on the lookout.
@northerner_on Slugs have been truly horrible this year. I've been putting down iron phosphate baits, but with all the rains we've been having they only work a few days before they dissolve. It's been raining *hard* almost daily for the last few weeks, my beer traps keep getting filled with water. Gah! I guess I'll hand pick tonight, rain or no, and see if it is the slugs. (Early this season I hand picked about 300 in an hour, off of the basils and dill and other small herbs I was hardening off.
I'll report back and let you know.
I really don't think its stink bugs. I've losing the battle to them all year to the point I lost all 90 tomato plants and all my watermelon. Been raining so much that seven dust is ineffective. But the damage looked nothing like that. Also stink bugs(mine at least) make no effort to hide. As a side note if I ever see another tobacco worm I'm burning the garden down.I thought my wife would die laughing. 6ft 4in 210lb grown man run screaming from a 6 inch catipillar.

The Marshall Philharmonic Orchestra will present its third concert of the 52nd concert season Sunday, Feb. 15, under the baton of Conductor Kevin Lines.
The concert will begin at 2:30 p.m. in the Harold L. Lickey Auditorium of Bueker Middle School in Marshall.
The featured soloist will be Dr. Ron Montgomery, trumpet.
Montgomery is the new Director of Instrumental Music Activities at Missouri Valley College. This concert is graciously underwritten by Fitzgibbon Hospital and Community Bank of Marshall.
Dr. Montgomery has come to Marshall with experience serving as a band director in the Texas public schools as well as at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Missouri Southern State University, and Northwestern College. Under his direction, the Northwestern College Symphonic Band was named "Best College Band" by Downbeat magazine in 2004.
As a trumpeter, Montgomery is a past member of the St. Louis Philharmonic Orchestra, the American Wind Symphony, the Kansas Brass Quintet, and founded the Xavier University Brass Quintet.
Montgomery holds a DMA in Wind Conducting from the University of Arizona, a MM in Trumpet Performance from the University of Kansas, and a BS in Music Education from Roberts Wesleyan College.
Montgomery's family includes four generations of musicians. Carrying on in that tradition, are his children. His son, Austin, is a junior music education major at Baylor University and his daughter, Lauren, a freshman, is majoring in music education at the University of Louisville.
Boasting a personnel list of three generations of music makers on its roster consistently, MPO promoters are honored to include Missouri Valley College and Dr. Montgomery to its collaborative musical efforts this season.
For Sunday's program, Montgomery will perform the first movement of the Concertino for Trumpet and Chamber Orchestra by Joseph Kaminski and Prayer of Saint Gregory by Alan Hovhaness.
These two selections may possibly be the most diverse compositions ever performed by an MPO soloist. The Kaminski is a contemporary spin on a traditional violin solo using vibrant melodies sprinkled with a smattering of tonal dissonances and complex rhythm.
In complete contrast, Prayer of Saint Gregory is the product of the composer's religious opera in which Saint Gregory the Illuminator prayed reverently and faithfully in darkness after being cast into the pit of a dungeon where he was left for fifteen years.
In addition to the solo work, Conductor Kevin Lines has decided to take the audience on a musical tour including stops in Italy, Hungary, The Appalachian Mountains and finally back home to Missouri.
Listeners will be treated to Tchaikovsky's Capriccio Italien, Brahms' Hungarian Dances No. 5 and 6, and Copland's Variations on a Shaker Melody from Appalachian Spring.
The program will conclude with Missouri composer, Claude T. Smith's, arrangement of the traditional hymn tune, "God Of Our Fathers," in which the audience will be invited to join in to, "lead forth in beauty all the starry band."
As always, MPO concerts are free and open to the public thanks to its supporters' generous donations and contributions spanning over half a century of music making. It is with great pride that this musical tradition continues.
In closing, Lines states, "Let the music play on!"
The Marshall Philharmonic Orchestra will begin its 52nd season Sunday, Oct. 26, 2014, with a concert under the baton of conductor Kevin Lines. The featured performer will be Kristee Haney, mezzo-soprano, currently on staff as assistant professor of voice and musical theater at the University of Central Missouri at Warrensburg.
The concert will be held in the Harold L. Lickey Auditorium of Bueker Middle School in Marshall and will begin at 2:30 p.m. This concert is graciously underwritten by Wood & Huston Bank of Marshall.
The last concert of the Marshall Philharmonic Orchestra's 51st Season will be held on April 6, 2014, Bueker Middle School, Harold L. Lickey Auditorium, at 2:30 p.m. This concert always features our talented youth; this year the Marshall High School Orchestra will be joining the Philharmonic for the last two selections. In addition, our soloist, Brandon Pace, is one of our own, playing with us throughout his high school and college years.
The Marshall Philharmonic Orchestra will present its annual Chamber Concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 8, at the First United Methodist Church, 225 E. Arrow St., in Marshall.
The guest artist for the MPO winter concert is trombonist Roger Oyster, principal trombonist for the Kansas City Symphony. He has performed with 14 other orchestras worldwide, including the St. Louis Symphony; the National Symphony in Washington, D.C.; the Atlanta Symphony; the Baltimore Symphony; the Detroit Symphony, the Pittsburgh Symphony; and the Hong Kong Philharmonic. He can be heard on more than 50 commercially released recordings, including many Grammy Award nominees and two Grammy winners.
Editor's note: At the Marshall Philharmonic Orchestra's first concert of the season, Sunday, Oct. 27, MPO President Mary Lou Porter honored her long-time colleague and friend, Charles Farmer, for his contributions to the orchestra.
Video by Chris Nelson
Marshall is music and holiday music in Marshall brings beauty and joy. That will be the theme for Sunday's combined Marshall Philharmonic Orchestra and Marshall Community Chorus Christmas concert to be held at 2:30 p.m. December 1 in the Harold L. Lickey Auditorium of Bueker Middle School. Non-perishable food items will be collected at the door for the Marshall Food Pantry for this free holiday concert.
Conductors Kevin Lines and James Woodland have selected favorite holiday standards for this year's concert that will raise spirits and add some jingle to your Christmas celebrations.

It's a common belief that only droopy-eared dogs get ear infections, but that's not true! Even dogs with pointy ears can get them. #petsTweet
Does your dog scratch his ears or shake his head? Is there a discharge or foul odor coming from his ears? If so, he might have an ear infection. Call us today and we'll take a look!
If a dog has had multiple ear infections, the ear anatomy can change and make it more likely for him to get infections in the future. #petsTweet
Most dogs get infections in their ears because of allergies to environmental irritants—and it's the allergic reaction that makes their ears so itchy. Once a dog starts scratching, the ear canal lining gets damaged, and yeast and bacteria take over. Let us take a look before it gets serious!
Ear infections affect 14-20% of dogs. If your dog scratches his ears, shakes his head or has a foul ear odor, he may be one of them. #pets
Using an ample amount of cleaner is key to thoroughly cleansing the ear canal. But don't use cotton swabs! Using them can cause impaction or damage to the ear. Let us show you how to do it properly—call us today!
In puppies and kittens, itchy ears can be caused by ear mites. If you see your new #pet scratching or see a brown discharge, call us!Tweet
