Few things make you feel older than telling your own life story through a dead medium. I can't say I miss cassette tapes. But I think of them fondly, if not for their general inconvenience or mediocre sound quality, for the fact that they, like my teenage years, were a long time ago.

I have developed a simple macro that enables Python style 'with' in C++.
This being said, I feel the urgent need for a short foreword…
- Yes.
ITS_A_MACRO. If you're already tempted to email me about how bad an idea macros are, go ahead. I can take it. Naturally, I would prefer this to be part of the language.
- This is not about enabling Python style programming in C++, but about bringing in a nice concept from another language. Think about it: Python is very similar to C++ with respect to resource ownership and management (RAII).

MISSION TO EPSILON: The Intergalactic Federation encompasses a region of space hundreds of light years across.
Flare Teams are rapid response units of the Intergalactic Federation. Patrolling assigned sectors of IGF space in small starships, they respond to distress calls and render whatever assistance is possible. Their mandate includes humanitarian relief, technical assistance, emergency medical care, rescue, law enforcement, and military duties.
You are part of a Flare Team. You travel light and are trained to deal with nearly every conceivable situation. You might go long periods without receiving an emergency call—but when your subspace radio detects a call your Team must respond immediately.
However, resources of the IGF are spread thin. A Flare Team is always on its own, and is expected to overcome whatever challenges it may encounter. Teams know that there is no back-up—assistance from the IGF might take months to arrive.
The Cthulhu Mythos presents horrors far worse than mere death…
You won't find any ghouls or deep ones, or other named Mythos entities here. The horrors found within have no names, but they are still very much of the Mythos. Your players will not have encountered their like before, and no one will be on safe, comfortable ground.
Nameless Horrors brings you six new scenarios that will frighten even the most experienced of Call of Cthulhu players, giving them reason to fear the unknown.
On release back in 1981, the initial setting of Call of Cthulhu focused upon the "classic" 1920s-era of the early twentieth century — the time of H.P. Lovecraft. It did not take long for players to realize the potential of the game —that it could adapt easily to other time periods.
Over the last thirty-plus years, players have been confronting the Cthulhu Mythos in all manner of historical settings: be it the Dark Ages, Imperial Rome, the Dreamlands, Victorian Gaslight-era, or even the far future! The minions of the Great Old Ones can always be found, lurking in the shadows.
The latest edition of Call of Cthulhu includes investigator occupations, equipment, and weapons for both the 1920s and modern-day settings, allowing for games to be set in either time-frame. In due course, other published settings will be updated to the latest edition of the rules; however, Cthulhu Through The Ages has been created to help players adopt the latest rule set for the wide range of settings published by Chaosium.
Here you will find straight-forward guidance and era-specific rules for investigator creation for seven different settings. Also offered are updated rules for combat and a sprinkling of other topics like scenario seeds, setting-specific monsters, and investigator organizations.
Now you can order your own print edition of this great supplement!
Trains embody the promise and peril of technological advance. They unlock opportunities for wealth and travel, but also create incredible chaos—uprooting populations and blighting landscapes. Work on or around the rails leads to unwelcome discoveries and, in light of the Mythos, dire implications in the spread of the rail system as a whole.
A certain path to uncovering unwelcome truths about the universe is to venture beyond our own "placid island of ignorance" and encounter foreign cultures. The Orient Express serves as the perfect vehicle for such excursions, designed as a bridge between West and East. Movement into mystery forms the central action for many stories in this volume. The only limitation placed upon writers for this collection was that their works somehow involve the Orient Express and the Mythos.
The last warning whistle has blown, and we are getting underway. Have your tickets at the ready and settle in for a journey across unexpected landscapes to a destination that—well, we'll just let you see for yourself when you arrive. We promise this though: murder will be the least of your problems on this trip aboard the Orient Express!
This great collection of tales is now available for download! One price gets you e-files and the PDF.
THE DECADE OF THE 1950s: while many places in the world are still recovering from the horrors of the Second World War, it is a good time for America. The economy and industry are roaring, the middle class is exploding, and everyone can own their own home. The nation is filled with pride after a hard-won victory. The future never seemed brighter, and yet...
...never before have we faced a global threat as dire as the atomic bomb. Humanity has always waged war, but now we can eradicate all life on the planet. Educational films promise survival of a nuclear blast. In movies, the classic monsters of the 30s and 40s are replaced by horrors spawned of the atom.
Enemies are everywhere, and there are dangers in our midst: devilish rock n'roll, morally corrupt books, and sinister comic books corrupt the minds of our youth.
The dreaded Red Menace of Communism is poised to overthrow our government and strip-away all of our personal freedoms. Their comrades are everywhere and could be anyone, including your neighbor, your friend, or a member of your family. There are godless Communists spreading across the globe, and they must be stopped by any means necessary!
So here you have the world of Atomic-Age Cthulhu, bringing Lovecraftian horror to the postwar Golden Age.
For longer than two millennia they raided and subjugated their civilized neighbors of the West and the East. Europe, Russia, China, and the Islamic Caliphate feared them, and sometimes revered them as their masters. For no matter which tribe lead them, whether Huns, Turks, or Mongols, the Steppe Nomads ruled over central Asia and dared to wage war against anyone in the world, believing that their god Tengri granted them power over all inferior mortals. And in truth the gods of war often smiled upon their armies, blessing them with victories over countless enemies.
Wind on the Steppes is a supplement for Basic Roleplaying describing the features common to all nomad tribes, and the peculiarities of each nomad ethnicity or empire. Within you will find inspiration for fleshing out powerful enemies for your fantasy or historical campaigns, but its use is not limited to providing you with more detailed "bad guys": Nomads can be fascinating player-characters, too. The harsh life of the steppe and the unique flavor of their shamanistic approach to the supernatural world gives you plenty of great roleplaying opportunities.

text: The To Save the Savage Land wiki last edited by catfightfan on 05/02/14 11:30AM View full history With the construction of a massive citadel by the Sun-People threatening the ecosystem of the Savage Land, the X-Men have agreed to help Ka-Zar prevent destruction.The X-Men are still at the Savage Land, helping Ka-Zar against the Garokk, who is draining all energy from the Savage Land to become more power. Because of that, the winter comes to the Savage Land for the first time since it was built. Men that work for Zaladane attack the X-Men and capture Banshee, Ka-Zar, Colossus and Cyclops. It is up to Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler and Zabu to rescue them and take down the Garokk and his minions. Wolverine talks to Zabu and order him to call backup from the Fall People. The three X-Men sneak into the enemy fortress and release Colossus, who the defeat the minions by himself. Garokk escapes but Cyclops follows him. At the top of the fortress city, they battle with full power and suddenly Banshee uses his sonic scream to destroy the city. The Sun-God fells to abyss and Storm saves Cyclops, but couldn't save Garokk. Fifteen days after the battle, when the ice melts at savage Land, the X-Men can start their trip by boat throw the Drake's Passage.

Will the transition to Clean Energy lead to decentralized, worker and community controlled energy production? Or will it be centralized under corporate and state control and promote high usage and consumerism?

Here he talks with the Old Mole's Bill Resnick about many communities, including some in the US, are building ways in which families and communities can produce energy locally and cut back on their consumption.

I would suggest using a high quality, lightweight, compact rain pant and jacket rather than the zip in stuff. Something like Mountain Hardware.... or comparable. I have pretty much stored the zip in liner in the attic and figure It was a $129- learning expense. It's much faster to stop throw on the rain jacket and/or pants and keep riding.

Pop goes the Bayfest
CORPUS CHRISTI - Chart-topping sensation Paula DeAnda, who calls Corpus Christi home, will headline this year's Bayfest musical lineup.
The annual event, which begins today along the bayfront at Shoreline Boulevard near I-37, usually targets young up-and-comers, but several hip-hop acts such as Hurricane Chris, Baby Bash and DeAnda already are mainstream, said Kristi Peña, Bayfest public relations chairwoman.
Last month, Paula's music video "Easy" featuring rapper Bow Wow was the No. 1 requested music video in the country on MTV's "Total Request Live."
"We definitely have a higher caliber of music, at least on hip-hop side," Peña said. "The acts are bigger and have more pop than last year."
The community celebration and nonprofit fundraiser now is in its 31st year. Since 1976, the celebration has raised more than $11 million for nonprofit organizations from manpower of more than 5,000 local volunteers, Peña said. More than 125,000 people have attended each year for the past few years, and organizers expect the 2007 numbers to eclipse previous attendance.
Keeping true to the festival's eclectic mix of performers, Bayfest will feature a Christian music Sunday afternoon and still has the traditional blend of country, rock, Tejano, Latin and jazz artists throughout the weekend, Peña said.
Austin-based band and South Texas favorites Vallejo will bring their brand of alternative rock tonight. Texas country musician Roger Creager will round out tonight's lineup at the Budweiser Stage.
If hip hop's not your style, Heartland and Sammy Kershaw provide a taste of country Saturday night.
Hip-hop fans won't want to miss a performance by up-and-comer Soulja Boy, also slated to perform Saturday night. The artist's album "Soulja Boy Tellem" will hit store shelves on Tuesday, and he is scheduled to appear on "TRL" that night.
Crowd-pleasers Tex-Mex Kadillaks and longtime favorites La Mafia are sure to appeal to Tejano fans on Sunday. Or check out Southern rockers Molly Hatchet and KISS tribute band Destroyer, also on Sunday.
And what's Bayfest without the food? The Fraternal Order of Eagles, a local group that has participated in the celebration since its inaugural year, will serve up turkey legs. Expect more than 30 food-related vendors at the event.
Pirates Ahoy! Show is geared for children. Other highlights include arts and crafts vendors, a carnival and a closing fireworks display.
On the carnival side, organizers added several more rides, said Scott Meares, Bayfest general co-chairman. The festival's informal theme this year is family, he said.
"It's a great opportunity for the entire family to come down to the bayfront and just take in the sights, sounds and smells," Meares said.

BOWLING GREEN, Fla. (AP) — What do you do with 15 million cubic yards of sand?
If you're Mosaic, one of the world's largest phosphate companies, you build two award-winning golf courses. And a spa. And an edgy, modern hotel.
BOWLING GREEN, Fla. (AP) — What do you do with 15 million cubic yards of sand?
If you're Mosaic, one of the world's largest phosphate companies, you build two award-winning golf courses. And a spa. And an edgy, modern hotel.
In the middle of central Florida, far from any theme park or beach.
Streamsong Resort opened its golf courses and clubhouse in late 2012, and last month, it unveiled its 216-room lodge. It's located in the tiny community of Bowling Green, which is closer in DNA to cattle ranches than Disney.
In fact, Streamsong is difficult to find; the journey from the Tampa Bay area included a turn at a ramshackle BBQ restaurant and a drive past several cows. A medium-sized metal sign with the resort's name is the only thing signaling that one has arrived on the property.
Visitors are first greeted by the sight of large, grass covered dunes and blue lakes, and instead of the flat landscape of central Florida, there are hills and dips and yes, some green of the golf courses. A modern-looking hotel, with its slightly curved exterior, is nestled near a lake.
The whole landscape is nothing like anything in Florida, possibly because it's not groomed and plucked and patterned with palm trees. The property is oddly wild and rough, yet zen-like and tranquil.
The resort was built on what was once a phosphate mine. The mining, which was last done on the property in the 1960s, left behind the sand and the dunes. About seven years ago, a Mosaic executive wondered what the company could do with the property.
"We needed to do something that was exceptional," said Rich Mack, the general counsel for and executive vice president at Mosaic. "You can go to a lot of great places in Florida. We needed to do exceptional, not just great."
Mack had played college golf and some competitive golf as an adult, so he called in three of the world's preeminent golf course designers to evaluate the property (Bill Coore, Ben Crenshaw and Tom Doak, the people behind some of the courses at Bandan Dunes in Oregon, for you golfing aficionados).
The golf course gurus were initially skeptical about even coming to look at the property, said Mack.
"They expected central Florida to be relatively flat," he said.
But once they arrived and saw how nature had overtaken the dunes with natural grasses and scrub, and saw how the Florida sunlight shimmered off the rugged landscape, the trio signed on.
The rest became golfing history. Coore and Crenshaw's team built one course (the "Red" course) and Doak built another (the "Blue" course). They still have the "Red" and "Blue" names, after the pen colors the designers used to make initial drawings.
Both courses are considered "minimalist" golf, where players generally walk while playing (although carts are available). Rates are $180 for walkers and $210 for a golf cart with a forecaddie during the winter season. Caddies are also available and they work for tips; $80-$100 plus gratuity per group is suggested. Rental carts and clubs are extra, and the resort discounts both golf and hotel rates in the summer season.

China navy plane on training mission crashes over Zhejiang: Xinhua
Published on Jun 6, 2014 4:48 PM
SHANGHAI (AFP) - A Chinese navy plane crashed on a training mission over the eastern coastal province of Zhejiang, the official Xinhua news agency said on Friday, but did not say if there were casualties.
The military plane crashed late on Thursday night in a mountainous area near the city of Yiwu, it said.
Xinhua said the plane belonged to the navy's East China Sea fleet while the military news channel of the Sina website quoted sources as saying the aircraft was a fighter-bomber JH-7 "Flying Leopard".
The fleet's area of responsibility includes disputed islands in the East China Sea, according to state media, which Japan administers and calls the Senkaku islands but which China also claims and names the Diaoyu islands.

Eldorado LimousineRead MoreEl Dorado Limousine's wine tours wind through the foothills of Sacramento, chauffeuring guests to nearby vineyards and wineries throughout the grape-dotted country. Drivers swing by one location to load groups of eight into lounge-worthy limos, indulging them with champagne and other luxuries while they wax oenological about the area's history and knowledgably narrate an excursion fit for an epicure. Half-day tours stop at a few of the area's more than 200 wineries, where guests are lead to tasting rooms and endowed with information about the location they are visiting, wines they are tasting, and grapes they are juggling. The three-quarter-day tour tacks on an extra two hours that give sojourners time for one or two more wineries, a light lunch between tastings, and extra time to spend appreciating vineyard views and national forest-scapes or playing hundreds of games of tic-tac-toe.2417 Meadow LanePlacerville, CA US

Lots to be thankful for.
Once again my clan went up to Cheaha State park in Alabama for the week of Thanksgiving.
We enjoy the scenery, brisk weather and seasonal changes that we just don't quite get down in the Florida Panhandle.
I am thankful for the ability to make this trip.
Yea I would like a diesel truck, fancy toy hauler and high dollar bike, but I have a good enough rig that lets me take my family and a bike along for a week of camping.
I am thankful that its all paid for.
I am thankful for having a happy and healthy family that enjoys going to places like this with me.
I am very thankful for the fact that they also like to sleep in and generally are slow movers until about mid day during these camping trips.
This gives me the chance to get out on the bike for a few hours every morning and explore.
I am thankful for the great riding diversity that the Cheaha area offers even when taken in bites only a few hours at a time.
I could not have asked for a better week. :D
Good times camping with the family.
Your boys will always remember these times. :thumb
I had a Coleman camper similar to yours. Mine had a handy storage compartment up front near the tongue.
Many good memories camping with the wife (passed away almost 6 years now) and kids.
In the winter, we had a couple of electric ceramic cube heaters and it kept the pop up nice and toasty in 30-40 degree weather.
Very nice trip & pics Ogre
Good times
You do have lots to be thankful for. So do I.
Cheaha is a great park. My brothers and I spent the night at one of their cabins and ate at the restaurant. We visited the Barber Motorsports Museum the next day. It was a great trip.
I love your set up
and I can definitely appreciate
that it is paid for.
Great pictures..... good times...... great point of view.
I don't have much. I own just what I have a use for. It is all paid for, and and I use it well.
I am not envious of people who apparently have this that and the other thing. All too often it is still being paid for, and / or they live their lives worrying that someone might steal it from them.
My ex-girlfriend, Lady Never Enough, wanted to ride around in a horseless carriage, so she took up with a guy who had a car..... and sold the small motorcycle I bought her, to help him pay it off. Was she any better off? I suppose it depends on your point of view.
Some of my best motorcycle trips were around the British Isles and Europe in the early to mid '90s, on a Honda CB250RS that I picked up for £500. I camped or stayed in YHA hostels. Unfortunately there were no digital cameras back then and the photos I took are stashed half the world away from where I am now, so cannot post them.
It is a joy now to have a digital camera, a Mac Mini, and mobile broadband (no phone line to my rented apartment).
The memories remain with me. The bike didn't.... I had it about 4 years, then it was stolen when I popped into a news agent for just a couple of minutes. C'est la vie
You just can't buy quality time like that. You think you could squeeze a couple of CRF100's in the back of that truck?:D
I might be able to squeeze 2 more smaller bikes in there.
I know I can get one more full size in easy as the DRZ is tucked way over on the drivers side.
I have 2 great, very smart boys, but they don't really have any interest in riding and believe me I have tried.
In truth though, I would really need to add 3 more bikes as my wife has far more interest in riding than my boys do.
No way would she want to stay at the camper if we all went off.
There goes that dream of the diesel truck and toy hauler again. :evil

Nobody's ever gotten anything they wanted by not trying!
Hi! After a rough end to last year I'm having a great 2013. I've gotten back into school, taken up running and just recently found out I'm getting the job I loved back with an airline! I think if you asked my friends and family to describe me they would say I'm kind, honest and loyal with a great sense of humor. I know it sounds like what everybody's loved ones would say about them but its all true, I promise! Lol. I'm not big on writing about myself and I'm not the greatest at it so I'll just move on now to whom I would like to find. I would just really like to find a laid back woman who's honest and has a good sense of humor. If she can go for a run with me or teach me how to dance that would be a nice bonus! Lol. I don't really know what else to write so I'll just cut it short here and I look forward to meeting...someone!

Can I give you my advice ? As I own an R65 RT (special offer in 1982 from French importer based on an RT fairing added to a plain R65).
This bike was heavily used up to 160 000 km then let aside for 10 years, been run on and off since today.
I decided to remove the fairing this year and put it back into use.
As on you bike, the battery, even if new, had big difficulties starting the bike. I was allowed only one stroke of the starter. So if I did not succeed to start it on the first stroke, I had to go to work by foot... I complained to the battery seller and he offered a new one. Same behavior. I tester all the charging circuit but to no avail. Then I removed the fairing and saw that the big positive lead going out of the motor casing had been destroyed by the bar which hold the two fairing sides to the frame !!! I had been lucky because the fairing is plastic, and the frame is well painted so earthing was not good. Otherwise...... Now with the new cable in place, the battery charges very well and keep it. I have a lot of starting strokes available and all is well. I suggest you remove your tank and have a peek... you may get an horror view...
Last but not least, I was quite unable to tune the engine. Even after thoroughsly cleaning the carbs and replacing all O-rings and diaphragms. I asked a competent BMW dealer and he told me to check the advance timing. bingo, it was at full. And could not adjust it properly. so I opened the can to see that the advance mechanism was seized at full stroke. A cleaning and lubricating later, the bike ran very fine.... Bear in mind that the advance springs are very delicate and difficult to source... so do not use your biggest hammer to dismantle the bean can....
Hope this helps !
P.S. I will spend some holidays next April near Rotorua...
I forgot,
OT means TDC so you should have the timing at idle set around 6° BEFORE this. If you do not have an S mark you have to use a timing light with advance settings. The Z mark means full advance and should only show around 3000 RPM. The start of advance (moving from S to Z) occurs at around 1500 RPM. As the bean can is the same for quite every bike using it, advance settings should be the same. Check either the user manual or the maintenance manual or Clymer or Haynes for the exact settings for your bike.
Thanks you must make a turn. No problem with the wiring as soon as the timing was changed there was a marked difference in the ease of starting, so its got to be the timing. I must just understand it and get it right.

Washington Students Injured in School Bus Crash
Date: February 14, 2015
Location: Interstate 5 near Mountlake Terrace
Names: Unavailable
Washington Students Injured in School Bus Crash
Saturday evening a school bus crashed carrying members of a private Christian high school basketball team injuring 10.
The bus driver and nine players were taken to the hospital with lacerations and minor injuries.
The bus was headed southbound on Interstate 5 exiting near Mountlake Terrace when the driver said her brakes didn't work. The bus drifted into the shoulder and rolled over onto its side.
There were 12 teen basketball players and three coached from King's Schools in Shoreline on the bus.
We wish everyone involved in the crash a full and speedy recovery.
If a child is injured, the statute of limitations is complicated. ORS 12.160 states that the time for bringing the lawsuit does not start being counted until the child turns 18. However, the time limit will never be extended for more than five years, nor will it be extended for more than one year after the child's 18th birthday.
In general, if a child is 17 or older at the time of the accident, the statute will run in two years, just like for an adult. If the child is between 12 and 17, the time limit will run out on the child's 19th birthday. If the child is under 12, the time will run out 7 years after the injury.
So if your child has been injured, in either an auto crash or another type of accident, protect their rights (and your financial well-being) by considering a personal injury attorney. Remember, our Portland personal injury lawyers offer free consultations and as father's we are even more personally concerned about child injury cases.
Driver Fatigued Involved in Fatal Tour Bus Crash near Oregon Border on I-5
Date: November 23, 2014
Location: Interstate 5
Name: Jose Victor Garcilazo Palencia
Driver Fatigued Involved in Fatal Tour Bus Crash near Oregon Border on I-5
A tour bus ran off Interstate 5 in Northern California about 100 miles south of the Oregon border on Sunday morning. The bus was traveling from Los Angeles to Pasco, Washington.
The bus drifted off the freeway and rolled over around 7:30 am. Octaviano Garcia, 33, died and 30 were injured.
Two dozen were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Three were flown by helicopter to the hospital in critical condition with severe head injuries.
Earlier in the trip the bus struck a Denny's restaurant in Red Bluff.
Driver fatigue seemed to be a factor in both crashes for driver, Jose Victor Garcilazo Palencia, 67, of Los Angeles. Investigators did not determine if drugs or alcohol may have been a factor.
Car accidents can be life-changing, and we hope everyone involved is able to fully recover soon. We extend our condolences to the family and friends of the dead man.
While many single-car accidents seem uncomplicated, there are sometimes other factors to consider. If you have been injured in a single- car accident, like the one described here, you may be able to receive compensation in several instances:
- If poor road conditions, poor signage, or bad traffic control contributed to the accident, there may be a lawsuit available against the city, county, or state. In cases against a public body, you may only have 180 days to file a tort claim notice (in most cases) so act quickly to protect your rights.
- If the car's mechanic was negligent in his last repairs, contributing to the accident, there may be a lawsuit available against the mechanic or his business.
- If the car's manufacturer was negligent, you may be able to file a product liability suit against them. Car manufacturers have often been held accountable for design defects and manufacturing defects, and these lawsuits help ensure that future drivers are not hurt by negligent safety standards.
If you have been injured in a single-car accident that you believe may not have been your fault, you can call a Portland car accident lawyer for help with your investigation at 503-222-4411. Or you can learn more about filing your own claim by reading the book 7 Common Mistakes That Can Wreck Your Oregon Accident Case.
Drunk Driving Victim Attorney Urges People to Help OSP in DUI Investigation
Date: September 10, 2011
Location: I-5, milepost 221, south of Albany
Names: Monty Robert Floyd Upshaw, Kailani K. Brown, Osiel Millan Figueroa, Loreta Garcia Rojas, Carmela Estrada Flores
Oregon State Police believe alcohol may have been a factor in a Saturday night multi-vehicle crash on I-5, in which the driver of the wrong-way vehicle that caused the crash died, and four other people were injured.
OSP Lieutenant Mark Cotter said that at around 9:15 p.m. Saturday, a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt was traveling northbound in the southbound lane of I-5, near milepost 221. The Cobalt was being driven by Monty Robert Floyd Upshaw, 71, from Tillamook, when it sideswiped a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee being driven by Kailani Brown, 31, from Springfield. After that collision, the Cobalt crashed head on into a 2005 Chevrolet pickup being driven by Osiel Millan Figueroa, 35, from Coos Bay. Lt. Cotter said that when emergency responders from Lebanon and Halsey Fire Departments called to the scene, Upshaw was confirmed dead.
The report by Owen R. Smith in The Oregonian says Brown, the driver of the Jeep, was not injured, but the pickup's driver, Figueroa, as well as three of his passengers, were transported to hospitals in Albany and Corvallis, with what were described as non-life threatening injuries. A fourth passenger, a two-year-old male child, escaped injury. Lt. Cotter said alcohol is a suspected contributing factor in the crash, and OSP would like to hear from anyone with information about Upshaw's whereabouts in the hours before the crash.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims of this horrible tragedy. We hope the injured people all make complete recoveries.
In the wake of a tragedy like this, each person must deal with it in whatever way works best for them. We would never try to talk someone into taking legal action. It is an individual decision that can only be made by the family. But when a drunk driver causes an injury accident in Oregon, there is a possibility of suing the person or bar who served the alcohol. This must be done correctly, and quickly. There are strict time limits for filing a lawsuit in Oregon, and where alcohol is involved, the limits get even stricter. A Dram Shop Notice must be received by the server within 180 days of the incident, pursuant to ORS 471.565.
Why sue a bar for serving a person alcohol? Well, the bar might have done something wrong. Bars are regulated strictly by the OLCC, and if they serve to a person who was visibly intoxicated, they have violated regulations, and they should be held responsible for that. But the rules only work if the bartenders are well-trained and supported. If anyone is at fault, it's not going to be the clerks and bartenders – it's going to be the owner. If an investigation finds that the owner of the bar did not train the bartenders properly, hired the cheapest people and then underpaid them, routinely told the bartenders to serve as much as possible to increase profits, faked bartender's OLCC licensing tests, and routinely served minors, then a lawsuit could prevent another similar accident in the future. If they were honest, well-trained, hardworking bartenders and clerks who made a single honest mistake, then a lawsuit would do no good. But, the family at least gets to rest easy knowing that they investigated, and found out the truth of the matter.
We encourage people to educate themselves on the law of drunk driving in Oregon, and we provide free information to help you understand your legal rights. But when a drunk driver is involved, the law becomes very tricky, and you should contact an experienced Portland drunk driving accident attorney.
Four Children Injured in Car Accident with Intoxicated Driver
Date: August 14, 2011
Location: Interstate 5, milepost 42
Names: Christopher Scott Teske II, Crystal Lewis, Ron Lewis, Lauren Lewis, Lexi Lewis, Reed Lewis, Kayla Bonomini
Oregon State Police have arrested a 20-year-old Pasadena, California native after a high-speed, head on collision on Interstate 5 which sent six people to hospital with a variety of injuries. Four of the six people injured were children under 16.
OSP Sergeant David Beck said a 2005 Toyota Scion was being driven southbound on Interstate 5, near milepost 42, by Christopher Teske II at around 3 p.m., when the vehicle suddenly went out of control. The Toyota traveled through the central meridian, then went airborne and crashed head-on into a northbound GMC Yukon carrying six people. The crash caused the Yukon to roll in the center meridian, then cross the southbound lanes and crash into a guardrail.
When Grant's Pass Fire and Rescue crews arrived at the scene, Teske refused medical treatment. The occupants of the Yukon were all transported to various medical centers with what are described as non-life threatening injuries, according to the report on the OSP website. The driver, Crystal Lewis, 46, was transported by air ambulance to Rogue Valley Medical Center. The other passengers were Ron Lewis, 56; Lauren Lewis, 12; Lexi Lewis, 12; Reed Lewis, 15 and Kayla Bonomini, 12. The three young girls injured are all members of the Humbolt Jammers basketball team and were returning from a girls basketball tournament in Eureka, California, at the time of the accident.
Leske was later arrested, transported to the Jackson County Jail and charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants, reckless driving, six counts of recklessly endangering another person, six counts of assault in the third degree and criminal mischief in the second degree.
We hope all victims of this horrific accident make a full and speedy recovery.
If children are injured in an accident like this, the law can get complicated fast. For example, while the standard Oregon injury case must be filed within two years of the accident, the statute of limitations for children, on the other hand, is not so straightforward. ORS 12.160 steps you through the process for figuring out the statute of limitations. First, the regular statute of limitations applies. Second, it doesn't start running until the child turns 18 years old. But third, the statute cannot be extended by more than five years. And fourth, it cannot be extended beyond the child's 19th birthday. In addition to the statute of limitations, there's also the issue of money. Money recovered belongs to the injured child, not to his or her parents. In certain cases, a judge will need to oversee the situation to make sure this happens.
When a drunk driver causes an injury accident in Oregon, there is a possibility of suing the person or bar who served the alcohol. This must be done correctly, and quickly. There are strict time limits for filing a lawsuit in Oregon, and where alcohol is involved, the limits get even stricter. A Dram Shop Notice must be received by the server within 180 days of the incident, pursuant to ORS 471.565.
We encourage people to educate themselves on the law of drunk driving in Oregon, and we provide free information to help you settle your lawsuit without an attorney. But when a drunk driver is involved, the law becomes very tricky, and you should contact an experienced Oregon injury attorney.

Re: nforce 2 and SuSe 10.1
No I am not getting any sound out of my center channel. I used alsamixer and the volume under the "Center" is 100% and not muted. I also discovered lastnight something interesting while configuring Amarok with the Xine engine:
In Amarok 1.4.1-beta1 I went to
Settings -> Configure Amarok. . . -> Engine
In the top pull down menu I selected the "Xine enigne" as the Sound System. There are four options under "ALSA Device Configuration"
4 Channels:
6 Channels:
I started off by putting "hw:0,2" in the "6 Channels" spot. When I tried to play the example file I got the following the error:
"Audio Output Unavailable; the device is busy"
When I put "hw:0,2" in the stereo, I got sound from my front left and front right speakers, just like the actual Xine player.
Based on your previous postings it made it sound like you got the digital output to work. But then you said you still haven't gotten 5.1 to work? I was a little confused by that statement.
The Cambridge SoundWorks DTT3500 decoder I am using has a green light at the bottom of the unit that illuminates when it senses a digital signal. With the old nVIDIA drivers that light was always on from startup, and the 5.1 sound worked great. However, it has never come on, even when I get the stereo sound. Just thought you might like to know. Thanks again for your help, it is great to have sound back even if it is only stereo.
PS - I really wish nVIDIA would make a new nFORCE driver, or at least give a detailed step-by-step instruction manual on how to get digital audio with the nForce 2, SoundStorm chipset. In every post I read about this problem, the wonderful advice from the nVIDIA representative is to "use the built in audio framework in the current kernel for sound." Well great, how about a little more help! Anyway, I am rambling now...

I actually haven't voted yet. It's tough to say, because the Miranda of that night definitely wasn't "up" for Pavlik the way he would've been for Taylor.
If we pit, say, the Miranda that fought Green against the Taylor that fought Ouma instead - then we've got the makings of a very challenging but manageable title defense for Taylor. Despite some of the lasting images of him that endure in our minds, I don't think Taylor's chin is any worse than Green's really. I also don't think Miranda would've given him the same puzzling looks that an Ouma did - or throw quite as much leather at him. Taylor was still close to his Hopkins-thwarting self and was a master ring general, and the sometimes high-strung boxing that failed him against the more patient breed of predator in Pavlik could serve him against the more basic straightforward aggression of a prime, KO-hungry Miranda.
I can see both guys knocking each other down. (Miranda chucking something in while Taylor's trying to navigate by with his back facing a corner, or Taylor with a quick well-placed counter on the button)
Both have some questionable stamina.
It could've been a bumpy ride from 10-12.
In the end, I go with Taylor on points...but a Miranda late kayo can't be called a bad pick.

Ex-coach: Tiger Woods needs to face humiliation
January 10, 2010 12:06 PM | 1 Comment
The Guardian reports: Tiger Woods needs to call a news conference and explain his recent troubles before he can get on with golf and his life, according to his former coach Butch Harmon.
"To stand there in front of everybody, take his medicine, be embarrassed, be humiliated, and answer the questions," Harmon said. "But where the hell is he? We could find Osama bin Laden easier than we can find Tiger Woods."
Harmon said he believes Woods' marriage is finished and that he must have had help arranging his numerous affairs.
"I can honestly tell you the Tiger Woods I knew for 10 years is not this Tiger Woods," Harmon said. "I don't know this Tiger Woods."
* Attended the 1990 and 2010 Reds Division clinchers *
Watched the 2012 Clincher on FOX.
*Bat Votto SECOND, please?*
On the lighter side, someone has come up with a (very addictive) flash game that has Tiger trying to hit his mistresses with a golf ball before they reach the news truck.

Thanks-that's the first Ho in One I've ever made.

Apparently, Tiger is going to be speaking publicly for the first time this Friday. He'll outline his plans for what he's going to do moving forward....and supposedly will be apologizing. Should be interesting.
I found this quote hilarious from the "[Stuff] my dad says" twitter page:
""I like See's candy. Put me in a See's store, I'm eating candy. The whole world is Tiger's See's store, and the candy is va----." This pretty much sums it up for me.

Tiger Woods reportedly will not be answering any questions in his little PR event this Friday. Given his athletic talent, some people may still buy it.
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
What's there to buy?
I honestly think the idea that he has something to apologize to the public for is ludicrous. The only people he owes anything to are his wife and kids (and maybe his sponsors who have paid him beaucoup cash based on his image). Beyond that, nothing else really matters and if I were him I wouldn't waste a single ounce of energy worrying about the public in general.
I'll admit that I've always been a fan of his and this whole thing has made me much less enthusiastic in my fandom, but he owes me nothing and I don't think he has any obligation to answer anything he doesn't want to answer other than to his family.
Seriously, I know when the time does come that he can no longer stave off the hungry press, they're going to be ruthless, but it will almost certainly all be about the details of his affairs as if that's newsworthy. That's what the modern day press has become. Honestly, we know he was WAY unfaithful to his wife and lived a partiers life. What else is there to know? I guarantee you he will get pushed for the number of women, as if 20 is somehow less egregious than 50. He'll get pushed for the details of his encounters, etc... THIS is the type of suff these so-called journalists will care about.

He's trying to control the whole situation by reading his prepared statement and then walking away.
What does he expect that to accomplish? It will piss off the Press and then they'll really come after him. If PR is his main goal here, he's not going through it in the right way.
He'd best not say anything at this time.
But, if he wants to continue as a spokesperson for commercial products, he'll need that quality that people will listen to him and believe him. And general public opinion counts there.
If the average Joe doesn't like how he's handled this whole affair, they'll have a negative reaction when Tiger says "buy Aqua-Velva". Companies will know that from all their marketing testing and surveys and all that. So if he wants to continue getting big buck endorsement contracts from Nike, Titleist, etc., he's going to have to pay attention to public opinion of him.
Teach tolerance.

It's been funny to watch PGA events so far this year. Whenever something comes up like the Fedex standings from last year, where he is listed in the top five, they can barely bring themselves to mention his name. Prior to his implosion, commentators couldn't mention anything without talking about Woods.
Kind of like this:
"You know, Luke Donald has struggled this year, coming back from that wrist surgery."
"Yeah, Tiger had his knee reconstructed and he's won three times already this year."
"Uh, huh. Oh, great shot there, by Donald. He's within easy reach of an eagle and beneath the hole on this par 5, exactly where you want to be. His short game hasn't suffered much."
"Oh, definitely. He played that the same way Tiger this morning, except he was inside Donald by a couple feet."

Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
He does not need to answer any questions in this initial forum. It is but the first step in a very calculated PR rehabilitation process. Did anyone else notice that this has been scheduled for 11:00am ET (prime daytime media slot) during a round of the Accenture-sponsored golf tournament? That is not a coincidence. They were the first sponsor to drop Tiger publically and he will never forget that.
Tomorrow's press conference (mea culpa) is for informational purposes only. It is for him to appear in 'public' and admit that he has done wrong. After his statement has been read, the only questions that would be derived would pertain to personal matters to which he has no responsibility to address. That is why he only invited three wire outlets to the event: AP, Reuters, and Bloomberg.
His public caning will come later via the Oprah/Larry King format. Do not be surprised to see Elin actually sitting next to him in those appearances. Nearly all of dust will have settled prior to his first tournament appearance. Follow the money folks. It is all about the tour paychecks, sponsor revenue, and Nike golf. They ALL need Tiger back--yesterday. There is simply too much at stake for these organizations.
"Booing on opening day is like telling grandma her house smells like old lady."--WOY
At least for the golfer and sports wonk, he'll probably just have to go back to being Tiger and I guess that will be enough. And maybe that's it for his audience. I guess he's never been a spokesperson for Cheerios, McDonalds, or Coke. He's been more of a boutique high-end market guy.
Teach tolerance.
The only stick that fans should concern ourselves with is the one he plays golf with, not the other one that he plays other games with.

Crime decreasing in cityPublished 12:45pm Thursday, November 1, 2012
Alexander City police have been keeping crime low, according to recent statistics released from the department.
The department tracks index crimes, which include felony offenses, and reports them to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Year to date, the department has seen a 47 percent decrease in 2012 from the same period in 2011.
"There are a lot of categories out of our index crimes where we are seeing a decrease," said ACPD Chief Charles Rafford. "We have seen a dramatic decrease in burglaries from 2011."
Burglaries are down from 178 in 2011 to 104 this year, which is a 71 percent decrease. Assaults are down from 20 to 12, and rapes decreased from 19 to 6.
First-degree thefts dropped from 32 to 23, while second-degree thefts declined from 97 to 77. Automobile thefts also saw a decrease from 14 to 6.
Arson stayed flat with 3 in 2011 and 3 in 2013, and there were no kidnappings in 2011 or 2012 so far.
"I believe the work of our patrol officers, detectives, Crime Interdiction Task Force, crime prevention officer and our Narcotics Task Force is helping to reduce crime numbers," Rafford said. "These are the folks directly responsible for lowering crime rates."
Rafford said that the new metal theft law has had an effect in lowering the occurrences of metal-driven thefts.
Two categories did have increases, however. There were no homicides in 2011, but so far in 2012, there have been three.
"We usually average about one or two homicides per year," Rafford said. "It is very difficult to prevent homicides, though, unless we have some knowledge ahead of time that someone is planning on killing someone."
Robberies increased from 11 to 20, but Rafford said this figure doesn't necessarily mean that people are getting robbed on the streets.
"The majority of these robberies occurred at Wal-Mart with what started out as shoplifting (third-degree theft or second-degree theft)," Rafford said. "When the shoplifter was approached by the loss prevention officer, they either pushed them down or struck them in some fashion in order to escape."
Rafford said the use of force elevates shoplifting to robbery.
"By law, it becomes robbery at that point," Rafford said. "If you factor out the shoplifting cases, we have actually had a decrease in robberies year to date."
In addition to decreasing crime rates, the latest statistics put ACPD's closure rates way above the state average. According to the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center, the average crime closure rate for 2011 was 23 percent.
For 2012, ACPD is currently closing 64 percent of all cases.
"We will continue to work to be proactive and stay on top of ways to prevent crime," Rafford said. "Can we ever get crimes down to zero? I would love to see that, but it probably won't happen. Realistically, you will always have crimes occurring where you have human beings living."

Originally written on Fantasy Baseball 365 | Last updated 11/16/12
In somewhat of a surprise move, the Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly inked outfielder Melky Cabrera to a two-year, $16M deal. Now finished with his 50-game suspension for PED use, questions remain about his performance going forward, but it's skill related stats -- not questions about strenght/endurance -- that keep me optimistic. Melky Cabrera - OF - TOR 2013 Age: 28 - Splits: None 2013 Projection: 655 AB, .301/.363/.487, 17 HR, 78 RBI, 92 R, 19 SB Notes: Contact and line-drive rate up the last two years and being in his prime (age 28), there is a good chance that trend sticks. Moving to Toronto should help keep the power numbers to at least 15-20 with upside for 20-25 and his line-drive/groundball skills should translate well on the Rogers Centre turf. Look for a regression in AVG/OBP, but not a complete fall-off. Should score plenty of runs in that lineup to keep his fantasy value high should his AVG dip below .300. Upside: .320/.375 with 20 HR, 20 SB and 100 R Downside: .275/.330 with 15 HR and 15 SB

Tough break for Chargers and Ingram, who they were hoping would break out this year.
http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Mel ... n-ACL.html
Chargers were counting on linebacker for pass rush help.
Terry McCormick
The San Diego Chargers' 2013 season suffered a big blow more than three months from kickoff when linebacker Melvin Ingram suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during OTA work Tuesday.
Ingram, the Chargers' first-round pick in 2012 from the University of South Carolina, was expected to be a key cog in the 3-4 defensive scheme that was already questionable in the pass rush department.
The Chargers could have a tough time finding a suitable replacement, given that the best available pass rushers in free agency - John Abraham and Dwight Freeney - are both more suited as 4-3 ends rather than 3-4 linebackers.
