A decade of digital and beyond
A converted dairy in the Hampshire countryside back in 1993 saw the inception of Halesway as a
creative agency working in Healthcare
and Pharma.
Farmer Fred's Meadow Farm 1998
For young children with diabetes
Brainy Bernard's Monitoring Magic Club 2004
For under 12s with diabetes

DurexHCP 2009/10
Website for sexual health professionals
A eureka moment!
We first dipped our toes into digital media in 1997 with a website designed to complement a traditional print campaign and quickly realised that this would be no passing trend.
In the interim, popular campaigns like 'Farmer Fred's Meadow Farm' (a mixed media campaign for the under 5s with diabetes) earned HAAG and Global awards.
12 years of in-house digital
Our in-house digital media team really kicked off in early 2001 and saw Halesway as one of the UK's very first fully integrated digital and traditional media agencies in Healthcare and Pharma.
Since then, we have been using our expertise in both media to produce campaigns that have consistently pushed boundaries and garnered awards.
Experience and expertise
At Halesway, we know that seamless integration of traditional and digital media is essential and that's why all our in-house developers work in close proximity to our designers, copywriters and account management team; it keeps our digital work insightful, cohesive – and fast.
Backed up by highly creative and effective strategic thinking, our tactical approach and implementation has the scope to make your campaigns reach further – promoting, motivating and educating targets including healthcare professionals, patients, the general public, pharmacists and sales teams.

Myths about monsters can occasionally be traced back to the discovery of fossil bones, as explained in great detail by Mayor (2000) in her fascinating book The First Fossil Hunters. The Cyclops of Homeric legend may have had its origin in the discovery of fossil bones of dwarf elephants in caves around the Mediterranean. The skulls of these Pleistocene mammals possess a large hole that looks like a socket for the single eye of the Cyclops.
Skulls of the Cretaceous dinosaur Protoceratops resemble the head of the mythical Griffin. They may be the basis for the legend of this ferocious monster with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. Significantly, bones of Protoceratops are found in the region where the Griffin was reputed to have lived, the Gobi Desert of Mongolia.

1949 MG-YT 4-PASSENGER TOURER. 4-passenger. White with tan leather interior and canvas top. Rare left-hand drive, very correct, restored example. $42,500
1949 MG-YT TOURER #19798284. (Stock #3585.) To complement the very popular 2-seater "TC' model cars, MG built a very interesting 4-seater tourer model in very limited numbers (904 in both left-and right-hand drive form) and identified it as the "YT Tourer." With room for four in full open convertible form, the YT is quintessentially British from its "double scuttle" dashboard to its fold-down windscreen, "banjo" steering wheel and instantly recognizable vertical chrome grill. Ours is a very rare left-hand drive (American delivery) example finished in white with tan interior and top. We purchased this cute little car from a collector's estate in Southampton, N.Y. $42,500.

It's really tiny but it made a hell of difference to me. Btw, this app is pure genious. I always forget how much time I spend here or there, and this time tip reminds me.. I'm using it for only 1.5 hours, but I'm already amazed. Much much kudos++..
So here's the little suggestion, not sure if you'll like it:
Replace tid1 line with following:
FormatTime, TimeString, h:mm, Time
To make it in format 9:38 PM.
I can't parse 24:00 hour format. It always takes me a few seconds to figure it out. If I ever went to the army.. I think most people would prefer that and AHK makes it a bit of a chore to change to this format.
The other problem was the the taskbar icon flickered all the time so I commented out the line that, I think, updates the tooltip there:
; this tooltip causes the tray icon to flicker.
;Menu,Tray,Tip,%A_DDDD% %A_DD%. %A_MMMM% %A_YYYY%

Giuseppe Sannino has claimed landlords ask Palermo coaches for rent in advance due to Maurizio Zamparini's trigger happy ways!
Former Varese and Siena Coach Sannino was sacked by club President Zamparini last weekend after just three games in charge of the Sicilian outfit. Zamparini is notoriously ruthless, sacking four bosses - Sannino, Bortolo Mutti, Devis Mangia and Stefano Pioli - in the last year alone.
"In Palermo, landlords ask for six months' payment in advance from the coaches," Sannino told Radio Kiss Kiss. "Because they all know the way Zamparini works.
"That did not happen to me personally, because I have an old friend who gave me his apartment, but I know that in some places there is a real problem, because the coaches don't last very long."
Successor Gian Piero Gasperini leads the Rosanero to Bergamo to face Atalanta on Sunday.

Remarks by the Deputy Secretary of Defense
The Honorable Gordon R. England
Islamic Society of North America
1 September 2006
Friends, fellow Americans, people of faith - Good afternoon! Thank you to Dr. Louay Safi for the kind introduction, and a special thank you to Sheikh Muhammad Nur Abdulla, and Dr. Ingrid Mattson, for your leadership and for the invitation to join you at this Islamic Society of North America conference.
Thank you also for the pleasant lunch, and the opportunity to dialog with the Society's leadership. It was most beneficial to share ideas and values.
It is a profound honor for me to be here with you today, representing all the men and women in the United States military, and all the civilians who serve America in the Department of Defense and throughout the US Government.
In every generation, patriotic citizens of America and of our friends and allies have stepped forward to defend freedom and liberty. I want to take a moment to thank all military veterans, and all those currently serving. We owe them a profound debt of gratitude.
The themes of this conference – "faith, family and community" - are, in many ways, the very foundation of this great Nation. These basic values of daily life are the building blocks for the high and noble ideals of freedom and liberty that this Nation has proclaimed since its birth. The Declaration of Independence, written during the throes of the American Revolution, declares the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".
In 1941, when the Nation was again under threat – this time from the forces of fascism - President Roosevelt spoke with hope of a world founded on four essential human freedoms: the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of every person to worship God in his own way, the freedom from want, and the freedom from fear.
Certainly all of us - everyone at this Conference - have benefited from these fundamental freedoms. Freedom creates opportunity. Freedom is the bedrock that has allowed so many of us here today to build successful careers – as doctors, lawyers, professors, business executives, government workers and many others.
Over the course of America's history, many people have made great sacrifices to protect and defend this precious freedom, for your benefit… and for mine.
On the 7th of December, 1941, I was four years old. As a kid in Baltimore during World War II, I still remember the blackouts, the civil defense wardens, the ration stamps, and the newsreels at the local theatre.
In my neighborhood, there was a grass-covered square where four to five streets came together, and where we kids used to play. One day in 1945, workers came and put up a sign that said, "Francis Callahan Jr. Square". The Callahan family lived right there on the square. Their son, Francis Callahan Jr., had been killed at Iwo Jima, so they named the square after him.
The reason I mention these experiences is that the courage of our military in those days, and the will and determination of the United States and our allies and friends, made the life I've lived possible – and all of your lives, too. It was freedom that triumphed in World War II.
When the war ended, people felt entitled to a period of peace, but history didn't cooperate. Rather, freedom again found itself threatened, this time by communism – in Korea, the first bloody battle of the long Cold War.
In those days, President Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "The history of free men is never written by chance, but by choice – their choice". During the Cold War, the political leaders of the free world made the choice to stand together. They disagreed about many things, but they chose to put security – and freedom and liberty – first. And the shared will and commitment of the United States and our friends and allies won the day for liberty.
After the Cold War ended, most people again expected a peace dividend. Instead, on 9/11, terrorists turned civilian airlines into guided missiles, and killed 3,000 people of 60 different nationalities. Do you know why terrorists killed 3,000 people that day? I've concluded that the reason they killed 3,000 was that they didn't know how to kill 30,000, or 300,000 or 3 million.
But they would have if they could have -- and they are still trying.
The terrorists who threaten us know no national borders. All who love liberty and freedom are fair game for their brutality and aggression. Terrorists, with their distorted ideology, are intimidating countries, and regions, and religions and peaceful people throughout the world. No nation is immune. No people are immune. These terrorists offer no hope for the future – rather, theirs is a bloody campaign against societies that do not fit their narrow view. This is the fundamental challenge of our time.
Just like WWII, and just like the Cold War, once again, the course of history will be decided by the choices people make – whether the terrorists' path of violence or the far better path of peace, development … and freedom.
It's also a time of choice for the nations of the world. America – and our key partners – are choosing to help lead the way toward greater freedom in parts of the world that have known far too little of it.
President George W. Bush has said, "We will act boldly in freedom's cause". This is not the time for America to pull back from the world. This is a time for America's bold leadership and for international cooperation and resolve.
While military action against those extremists who do others harm is a necessary part of that resolve -- it is not sufficient.
Another important part of the solution is clearly demonstrating, and making known in no uncertain terms, that there is no contradiction between the peaceful religion of Islam and America's values and principles. Muslims – an integral part of the fabric of America – are successful in building careers, raising families and strengthening their communities. You, my friends, are the shining example for the rest of the world.
One way that you can make a profound difference in the fundamental struggle of the 21st century is by ensuring that your voice is heard.
You can help bridge the cultural gap both here in America and abroad. I challenge the Islamic Society of North America to be even more active in reaching out to others, and sharing your values, beliefs, and experiences. America wants you to be more involved.
Reaching out to people around the world, understanding their concerns, offering partnership and support, and extending the promise of freedom, is a noble mission, and it is a mission that involves all of us. At the national level, America builds important relationships through a variety of mechanisms such as security cooperation arrangements and Free Trade Agreements – like the ones we have with Australia, and Chile, and Bahrain, and Jordan, and Morocco.
At the personal level, Americans build relationships through business partnerships, and international scientific conferences, and academic and cultural exchanges – the kinds of things many of you do daily in your professional lives.
As the Holy Qur'an says, "O mankind! We created you from a single pair of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other". Accept this challenge to reach out more aggressively, to extend freedom and opportunity, and to build a stronger and more interconnected world.
Yesterday, I went to Walter Reed Hospital with Ambassador Samir, the Ambassador of Iraq to the United States. We visited the severely wounded, many of whom had lost arms or legs in their commitment to a free Iraq. The Ambassador went to Walter Reed Hospital to express his appreciation for their service to the Iraqi people. Unfortunately, not all of our service men and women come home.
One person who reached out but did not come home was Ayman Taha, a Berkeley graduate, a budding academic economist, and a native of Sudan. A few years ago, he decided to take a break from his graduate studies to join the US Army Special Forces. He was patriotic, he believed in the mission, and he wanted to serve. His unit was deployed to Iraq.
Earlier this year, Ayman was preparing a cache of munitions for demolition, when it exploded, and he was killed. His father was a Ph.D. who worked for the World Bank, and what he said afterward was profound: his son was a devout Muslim, who believed that "the message of Islam is very simple – to believe in God and do good deeds." America is grateful to this remarkable family for their service and sacrifices, and their faith in God and in this great Nation. They are very much like the Callahan family of Baltimore --- of my youth.
President George W. Bush has said, "There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom."
Today we have the opportunity to draw on our own strong faith, our families and our communities, to help extend the promise of hope and freedom to others.
It is not enough simply to appreciate the blessings of liberty. As President Ronald Reagan said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."
This may be the defining moment for future generations. We all share the responsibility to participate in the noble cause of extending the promise of freedom. This is not a time to be timid. Rather, this is a time to make your voices heard. Making your voices heard is important and necessary to defeat the terrorists' distorted ideologies.
I do thank each of you and your families for your patriotism, for your commitment to your own communities, and for what you do every day to leave a more peaceful and prosperous world for our children and grandchildren.

Aboard this year's flight will also be letters from students at Ashley Hall thanking each of the brave veterans for their service. Students from Pardue Hall, Lane Hall and Jenkins Hall all came together to write over 250 letters and cards and 7th grader, Elizabeth Ouzts, inspired by the will of the veterans and their level of sacrifice, organized for each veteran to also receive a Purposeful Hallmark wristband. Ashley Hall dad, David Neff, who will be flying with the veterans on Sunday, helped to organize Ashley Hall's participation and picked up the letters from Elizabeth. We wish them all a safe flight!

The Friends University Ballet Department is celebrating 25 years of outstanding ballet productions and the state's only Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ballet program. The Ballet Department will kick off its 25th year with Fall Ballet of Favorites performances Oct. 5 and 6, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 7, at 2 p.m. in the Riney Fine Arts Center's Sebits Auditorium. The year's performance schedule will feature the Fall Ballet of Favorites, The Nutcracker and the Spring Ballet. A variety of new ballets and guest choreographers will be featured to celebrate the past 25 years and to launch the program's next 25 years.
This fall's ballet will include two great crowd pleasers, The Firebird by Stravinsky, and Serenade for Strings composed by Tchaikovsky. Both ballets are choreographed by Director of Ballet Stan K. Rogers.
Serenade for Strings was composed in 1880 and is a late Romantic era piece flooded with beauty from the lush score. The ballet is sometimes slow and romantic and then quickens to a point where speed overtakes the dancers. The ballet is choreographed for 18 women and three men dressed in powder blue. The women are in tulle as if it is a bright moonlit night.
The Firebird was composed in 1910 by Igor Stravinsky. The ballet is based on a Russian folk tale of a magical glowing bird and the journey of a Prince in the magical realm of the evil Kashchei. This ballet is the magical telling of the tale, which audiences have enjoyed for decades.
Tickets for the show are $16 for adults and $13 for students and seniors. Tickets can be purchased online at friends.edu/finearts, by calling the Fine Arts Box Office at 316-295-5677 and at the door if seats are available.

Experimental studies of gypsum plasterboards and composite panels under fire conditions
Kolarkar, Prakash & Mahendran, Mahen (2012) Experimental studies of gypsum plasterboards and composite panels under fire conditions. Fire and Materials.
Gypsum plasterboards are commonly used to protect the light gauge steel-framed walls in buildings from fires. Single or multiple plasterboards can be used for this purpose, whereas recent research has proposed a composite panel with a layer of external insulation between two plasterboards. However, a good understanding of the thermal behaviour of these plasterboard panels under fire conditions is not known. Therefore, 15 small-scale fire tests were conducted on plasterboard panels made of 13 and 16mm plasterboards and four different types of insulations with varying thickness and density subject to standard fire conditions in AS 1530.4. Fire performance of single and multiple layers of gypsum plasterboards was assessed including the effects of interfaces between adjacent plasterboards. Effects of using external insulations such as glass fibre, rockwool and cellulose fibre were also determined.
The thermal performance of composite panels developed from different insulating materials of varying densities and thicknesses was examined and compared. This paper presents the details of the fire tests conducted in this study and their valuable time–temperature data for the tested plasterboard panels. These data can be used for the purpose of developing and validating accurate thermal numerical models of these panels.

Riots flare in Greece as Ratner is considered for 'Hercules'.
Director Brett Ratner is in talks to ruin the legend of Hercules, The LA Times is reporting. Millennium/Nu Image has been developing the project for three years, and apparently just decided to say "f*ck it, I don't care any more, it's gonna suck no matter what we do." Shortly thereafter, Ratner was brought in for negotiations. At any rate, I'm hopeful we'll get to hear the line "Don't ever touch Greek man's radio" sometime soon.
I know it's pretty lazy for a hack like me to make fun of Ratner, but in all fairness to Brett…actually, I don't really have anything more to add to that statement.
Consider posting a comment.

Fairy and the Weed
It's a children's story about a Fairy and (some) weed.
Or maybe it's a biography, who can tell.
It was written by a family friend of his parents...a now deceased former nun and her spinster sister (?), I believe...you know, just in case the whole thing wasn't freaky enough.
impulse shopping
I ended up at Mcdonalds eating a happy meal...sans toy....a sad meal, if you will.
I debated taking myself to a movie, but decided not to....nothing I wanted to see, and why waste more money, right?
So instead I drove down to a consignment shop I'd been wanting to visit for a while.
I was overwhelmed by ugly art and ubiquitous fleur-de-lis (es?).
(not to be a heretic or anything, but Jesus Christ give the fleur de lis a rest already, ok, people? Sheesh.)
Even more bored and frustrated (never a good combination), I drove to another shop.
Quite of the spur of the moment, I decided to buy these two cane back chairs.
Two chairs I do not need.
But...then again...I rationalized...I have been wanting to get rid of the aluminum and light green upolstered chair I've had for the past 4 years for quite a while. It had only cost me 40 dollars at Target and is supremely comfortable...and it's in very good condition, but it just looks a bit cheap...and the green limits me.
The Italian saleslady's accent also seduced me. I'm a sucker for an accent. She even helped me bring them out.
I've been wanting something a bit more "classic", but not too much. These seemed to fit the bill. I like the natural wood and the cane matches the other wood furniture I have well...and they're in perfect condition.
So within 20 minutes I'd spent more money than I have in three months and they were in my car. They weren't cheap, but they were not too expensive.
I was happy to see that they both fit in my little car, but not so happy to see that they sort of crowded my little living room. I'm seeing what I can do to get them to fit.
I need an extra chair anyway (he tells himself)
Besides, I know that if I hadn't bought her partner, she'd have gotten lonely sitting in here all day alone. I know I would.

clouds and irises
I'm like the Amish, but an Amish with a disco fixation.
Anyway, I got this Larry Levan cd and couldn't wait to put it on. Larry Levan was a somewhat legendary dj in the late 70s, at the Paradise Garage in NYC.
A few years ago when my friend Michael and I went up there we actually made a pilgrimage to see it. Seems it's like a parking garage now, ironically enough.
Having nothing better to do...nowhere better to go...I decided to take a drive...all the way down to Whole Foods, with the cd on full blast.
Who checks out a bouquet of irises, two apples, lavender hand sanitizer and wedge of Dutch goat cheese at 9:30 on a Thursday night?
Apparently I do.
I was excited to find number 2 was none other than "Clouds". I think it must be the most joyous sad song ever...or at least one of them. Seriously, you don't know whether to be happy or sad. That's the genius of it.
By the time I got home I was hoarse, from straining my voice trying to out-Chaka Chaka Khan. Thank god I was alone. I think I might have wilted the irises a bit.
Feb 24, 2010
eastern exposure
Oh, and the smell of dead fish and durian that'll knock you to the ground if you catch it in the wrong nostril.
While there, I ended up buying (yet another) pack of joss paper. I don't know why. I have no use for it, but I can't help but buy it. It's so pretty...and only 2 dollars!
Long ago, I framed a sheet or two...and I've also used it to decoupage a box. I once used it to wrap a small gift, for a person who didn't really seem to appreciate it.
Ah well, one tries.
Now I'm just too lazy to do much of anything with it, but I couldn't help but buy it.
The main reason I went was to buy herbs. The herbs there are cheaper than at the supermarket, there's a better variety....and most seem locally grown.
I got some mint, cilantro, parsley.
Oh, and Korean moon pies.
Yeah, you heard me right.
Korean freaking moon pies.
They're not very good, however.
Those Koreans might have nuclear warheads or whatever, but you can rest assured that moon pie technology is still proudly in the our hands.
God bless America.
Later that week, I made some Nasi Goreng, some type of Indonesian fried rice, with tamarind paste and shrimp and tomatoes and fried eggs and a lot of other things that added up to a big blah.
It was ok, but not worth the effort.
I also bought some bread from the local Vietnamese bakery, which I also always do when I go there, three loaves, fresh from the oven, for a dollar. You can't beat that.
Ominously, the place seems to be on the verge of being invaded by hipsters. How they ever found their way to the westbank, I don't know.
Something is clearly wrong with the world when one sees hipsters on the Wank.
One, clearly a hipster émigré from the North, and his girlfriend were leisurely wandering the aisles in front of me---she dressed in the standard skinny jeans/ American Apparel top uniform.
He, however, was bare chested, barefoot, long wavy hair wrapped up messily on top of his head, taut body wrapped loosely in an off purple sari...(in February?)...like some kind of wannabe Devendra Banhart, but better looking.
Shiva, as cast by Abercrombie and Fitch.
Yeah, he was hot.
Of course I had to follow them.
Sure enough, somewhere in the ramen noodles he turned a bit too fast, and don't you know he wasn't wearing underwear.
The lingam was in the macaroni, baby.
I didn't get a picture of that, but I did get a picture of this Thai aluminum serving spoon:
$ 3.00!

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
So almost every word in this cracked me up---from the premise, to the category ("misc. romance") to the address.
Anyway, what's a "sensual dish"? God, I hope it's bacon.

respite, respite and nepenthe
Each year that I've taught Poe (to the least likely of audiences, by the way), they've kind of fallen in love with "The Raven", almost all of them. Such is the genius of Poe.
Of course there will always be the odd student (or four) who will interrupt your lesson with a "What do 'nevermore' mean?"...you know, like after the fourth time discussing it.
Thankfully, the class will answer her on its own and indignantly explain it to her before you can even open your mouth.
These are the moments a teacher lives for...well, at least I do.
Even more thankfully, I don't have a Raven on the rosters this year. That poor girl got herself taunted unmercifully for months after we'd finished the poem.

samedi gras
I spent the day with Michael and his friend Paul uptown, watching a string of parades. I can't even count how many.
I could have taken photos of the floats (like this masterpiece of aluminum foil) or cute boys, but there were other, better things to photograph.
Like this:
Unfortunately, my camera can not quite capture the divine shade of apricot sherbert of this mullet. I'm hungry just looking at it.
The toy soldiers. There was one queeny one in the middle whom I missed do a turn.
Unfortunately, I also missed seeing (and photographing) the "bipolar" "sex addict" whom Michael located on his iphone's Grindr app, who was marching as a cheerleader security guard.
Back at Michael's place, the mink stole of a semi famous hollywood celebrity* (*initials JC, and I don't mean Jesus Christ)whose ex boyfriend was once Michael's tenant.
I thought it looked best like this, as a nature morte, so to speak.
Poetry...sucking on a juice box
Steve Zahn (and Michael's head). He was standing right next to us. Later, he graciously indulged us in letting us take photos with him.
The hero of the day, Drew Brees, who may be the single most popular man in this city, ever.

just more of my bitching.
Today totally sucked. It sucked donkey dongs, as we used to say in middle school.
This morning I wake to find the water pressure in my apartment, always low, has finally given up the ghost. I can't brush my teeth or even my wash hands. Guh ross
(also as we used to say in middle school)
Landlord says plumber needs to be summoned. I'm scared. I see visions of sheetrock.
As I'm leaving for work, the ancient doorknob to my front door breaks off, just as I'm leaving for work. Can't lock door.
I get to work, and am confronted by two new transfer students, one transferring in her senior year.
In mid-freaking-February. (WTF!)
Putting things into more perspective, another is transferring from Haiti, a family of refugees. The poor girl is a bit traumatized...and can barely speak English. My French is um....mediocre at best. We'll see.
7:10, my computer in class begins to make a painful screeching noise, rather like the AC did before it blew up, and I was without air or heat for a year.
I summon our "tech person" (ha!), who shows up promptly 4 hours after it's stopped screeching.
While there, she decides that she's going to take away my other printer to give to someone else. That'll teach me to ask for help. Ha, ink's out! Suckah!
Lunch taken up with a student who decides to unburden her 16 year old "love" problems on me....again. I don't want to hear it....but I do.
On the way home, the massive city wide road re-destruction project....in which every major artery of the city is cordoned off, so that the sinking sewer system can be repaired and this podunk town's already near gravel/mud streets can be further degraded....detours me three times, then a three block long film shoot detours me once more....only to find myself facing the headlights of yet another mardi gras parade...on a Wednesday at 5 pm.
A normally 25 minute trip has now taken a full hour and a half's worth of detours and traffic.
Anyway, now, if you'll excuse me, I'll try to get myself a sponge bath and go to bed.

Ten more things I need now
This Warhol (because I'm in a gold kind of mood)
This watch. Do I even need to explain why?
Some of these brand new ketchup packs....twice the amount of ketchup and you can dunk the fries in!
A Volvo P 1800 (found by way of Mistress MJ )
Gold or copper Doc Martens (the better to see up girls' skirts)
Laptop case (previously seen at laurel street )
Table (previously seen at stella's roar )
This room
This Gilbert Poillerat mirror (previously seen at The Haunted Lamp)
The house from "A Single Man" (oh, and every single person and object in said film, thank you)

Ex-SCHS star enters pleas to charges
Former Sevier County High basketball star Devin Schmidt entered deferred pleas Tuesday that will allow his record to be cleared in a year if his actions satisfy the court.
Schmidt, 18, entered a deferred plea to both domestic assault and criminal trespass — two separate incidents that resulted in his arrest in recent weeks. The first one led to his dismissal from the team.
His attorney, Bryan Delius, said Schmidt apologized to the court, his family and the female victim who filed the domestic violence charge against him. As part of the plea Schmidt must perform five days of public service work, attend a batterer intervention program that involves anger management, pay $250 restitution to the victim for her cell phone, adhere to a restraining order to stay away from the victim and her family, and pay court costs in the domestic violence case.
"I'm very pleased with the result," Delius said.
Delius said Schmidt's scholarship offer from Delta State University in Mississippi has not been withdrawn, and Schmidt plans to attend that institution as early as this summer. Delius said Schmidt is in schedule to earn his diploma this spring.
Schmidt was arrested Feb. 23 after a confrontation between him and his 17-year-old girlfriend at the time. The incident occurred shortly after Schmidt led the Smoky Bears to a win in the regional tournament at SCHS. Her statement to police said Schmidt grabbed her as she tried to run away and "pushed me against the wall and pushed my head against the brick wall. He also spit on me twice." Schmidt's version differed, telling police he grabbed her to stop her from hitting him.
Schmidt was dismissed from the team the day after his arrest.
On March 10, a Sunday, Schmidt was accused of breaking into the Sevierville Middle School gym. A teacher who had gone to the school to work in her classroom heard a noise and found Schmidt inside the building. He was charged with burglary.
However, Delius said witnesses were prepared to testify that Schmidt entered the school through an unlocked door to get some water after playing basketball on the school property. He remained outside while police were called and cooperated with officers, Delius said. Delius said surveillance video showed Schmidt was walking toward a water fountain when confronted by the teacher.
Schmidt entered a deferred plea to the reduced charge of criminal trespass and was not required to pay full court costs in that case, Delius said.
Delius said the news media overplayed the story about the school incident, saying it received more significant coverage than it deserved.

Wedding bells might be in the future for Jordin Sparks! The lovely American Idol alum spoke to Us Weekly on the red carpet of the City Of Hope Honors on Wednesday, and admitted that she and boyfriend Jason Derulo have already discussed marriage. It's been a rough year for the two love birds; Jordin had to cope with the loss of her friend and Sparkle co-star Whitney Houston, and Jason broke his neck during a freak dancing accident! But they've found strength in each other, and are starting to talk taking things to the next level.
"It's not a conversation that we're scared about," Sparks told the magazine. "Before, we both went through tragedies this year. He broke his neck and then Whitney passed. So before it might have been a little too crazy." All of the hardships not only brought them closer together, but made them realize what really matters in life. "You really see the people you love and you go 'I don't want to lose you,' " she continued. "So it's a conversation we have, but we're not in a rush." Although she admitted that she "hopes" he does eventually get down on one knee. And so do we! Although they've barely been together for over a year, the sweetness between these two is undeniable. Check out some of their cutest moments in the gallery below!

1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
2 cups
chopped onions
2 cups
chopped green bell pepper
6 cloves
garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons
dried thyme
bay leaves
1 pound
Italian sausage
3 (14.5 ounce) cans
diced tomatoes with juice
1 pound
cooked, shredded chicken
2 cups
chicken broth
1 1/2 cups
spicy tomato-vegetable juice cocktail (such as V8®)
4 teaspoons
Creole seasoning
1 pound
uncooked shrimp - peeled, deveined, and tails removed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Great recipe -- I crushed tomatoes instead of diced - and Swansons canned chicken - I literally had all the ingredients in the house! Made cornbread to serve with it! Yummy and easy!
I think it needed more creole and we added white rice. Great recipe:)

It's a new Tommy Hunter. He's recently married and in a new role, as Orioles closer.
But first, Hunter wants to tell you about his new eating habits---again.
Hunter is on a campaign to become a spokesman for Subway, and every chance he gets he slips in, more like, forces home the point that he could sell Subway.
After he got his third save in as many chances with a narrow escape on Wednesday night, Hunter pestered reporters to let him talk about his favorite chain.
Many players take the subway to Yankee Stadium. Hunter admitted he hadn't, but did say:
"Subway actually presented me with a pretty good meal before the game. They have a quality restaurant and I like my Subway sandwiches," Hunter said.
As long as he continues to save games, the occasional Subway plug may be tolerated.
For now, he's got a more important job.
RELATED: [Orioles beat Yankees with 9th inning scores]
Manager Buck Showalter affirmed before the season opener that Hunter would be his closer. Once the dalliance with Grant Balfour blew up and the team didn't aggressively pursue other closers, the job was Hunter's.
"This is a hard job. Closing out games against teams like the Yankees on the road is hard. It's not just someone that's going to look esthetically pleasing or be perfection, and it's just assume the position and hope you like the end game. Tommy's off to a good start, considering his lack of experience," Showalter said.
There are others who could close: Zach Britton, Darren O'Day. Maybe Kevin Gausman, and even Preston Guilmet, a minor league reliever the Orioles acquired this week.
Hunter has three saves in as many chances, and Wednesday night, pitching with a two-run lead in the ninth, allowed his first run of the season before escaping.
"It was interesting. Definitely made that a little harder than you'd typically want that to be, but they hit the line twice, man. Got to try to get out of the situation," Hunter said.
He's got the mentality to close, and he certainly has the stuff. Now, he gets that ninth inning rush.
"Definitely, You got a little more adrenaline going. There's definitely other guys that can come in after you that you don't want that to happen. Your job is to anchor the bullpen, to protect, to I guess be the older guy on the team. Just go about your business and just try and set a standard, set a bar that everybody else is trying to get to, and hopefully I continue to throw the baseball and be pretty damn competitive," Hunter said.
While he's the closer, Hunter has not varied the approach to games.
"No different than what it was last year. I think it's getting read into a little more than how I read into it. There's a job when you get the ball from Buck, and that's to get outs. Whether you come in the fifth inning, sixth inning, seventh inning, ninth inning, you still have the same job. I really don't think the role has changed much.
"I'm still trying to get everybody out I face. Whatever it is, the other day I was hoping Tilly was going to finish that out to get his first complete game and unfortunately, that's not how it worked out, but you like to see success in this game, and you like to see your teammates having success. The more success your teammates have, the easier it's going to be for you," Hunter said.
"You're always constantly trying to get better on a daily basis. I think if you become complacent in this game, you're not going to have a job for very long. And that's something I learned from a young age, there's always something you can do to get better. That's something I continue to work on, to strive to be the best."
Hunter is replacing Jim Johnson, who's had a horrid start for Oakland. Johnson is 0-2 with an 18.90 ERA and one save in five games.
The new Hunter isn't trying to be Johnson. He doesn't rely on a sinker, but lots of heat.
"I'm not trying to be anybody that I'm not. Everybody knows what you get with me. I put it out there. That's me, and I'm not going to change that because it's gotten me where I am today. Don't change something if it's not broke," Hunter said.
NOTES: The Orioles begin a three-game series with Toronto on Friday night. They'll send Chris Tillman (1-0, 1.35) against Dustin McGowan (0-1, 13.50.) Bud Norris will pitch on Saturday night and Ubaldo Jimenez on Sunday. The Blue Jays counter with Drew Hutchison and Mark Buehrle.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 27, 2006 A U.S. military commander met with an Afghan governor in northeastern Afghanistan April 23 to discuss coalition activities in the area, U.S. military officials said.
Task Force Spartan Commander Army Col. John Nicholson met with Nangarhar province Gov. Gul Agha Sherzai at the governor's residence in Jalalabad, the province's capital to discuss topics ranging from border security and poppy eradication to regional reconstruction and economic transformation, officials said.
Nicholson also had a meeting with civic leaders and mullahs April 22. The leaders shared the allies' commitment to ridding northeast Afghanistan of terrorism, officials said.
"We'll defeat the terrorists militarily, but this is only one part of the solution for Afghanistan," Nicholson said. "First, we defeat the enemy. This will help us separate the enemy from the people. Then, we help the people economically and transform the environment to encourage the long-term prosperity and security of the Afghan people."
"We have two means of fighting -- by guns and violence and by talking," Sherzai added. "We prefer to accomplish everything by talking."
The governor also discussed potentially beneficial infrastructure changes, such as improvements to Jalalabad Airfield, and he called for a greater government role in primary and secondary education, U.S. military officials said.
In other news from Afghanistan, coalition forces confiscated two weapons caches in the Pech district of Kunar province April 23 while conducting combat patrols supporting Operation Mountain Lion.
An Afghan citizen reported the first cache to coalition forces. When the patrol arrived, two elders led them to a house where the munitions were hidden in a crawl space, U.S. military officials said.
The cache included rocket-propelled grenades, RPG boosters, 60 mm mortar rounds, grenades, rockets and miscellaneous ammunition, officials reported.
A coalition patrol found a second cache in a tree. This find yielded an assault rifle with magazine, a rifle and three 30-round magazines containing ammunition. Afghan and coalition forces secured the sites and an explosive ordnance disposal team recovered the munitions.
"Recovering and disposing of these weapons increases the safety and security of Afghans and reduces the dangers posed by insurgents who use them to indiscriminately inflict harm to Afghan people, Afghan national security forces and coalition forces," said Army Lt. Col Paul Fitzpatrick, a Combined Joint Task Force 76 spokesman.

Cairns Aquaculture Supplying Asian Live Fish Trade
October 2nd 2013 01:58
Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry John McVeigh said the agreement followed extensive research on tropical marine finfish, and many months of negotiation with various parties by DAFF.
As part of the research, we identified opportunities to enter the high-value Asian live fish trade, Mr McVeigh said.
Im pleased to confirm a Licence to Occupy was signed with Macarthur Ventures Pty Ltd on Wednesday 25 September, providing long term surety to the emerging aquaculture industry in North Queensland, he said.
Cairns Northern Fisheries Centre will produce tropical marine finfish fingerlings such as gold-spot grouper (Epinephelus coioides) and Queensland giant groper (Epinephelus lanceolatus), with these fingerlings then going to farms to grow-out to market size.
Director of Macarthur Ventures Peter Hay said the agreement would also offer employment opportunities to local staff.
Given the specialised skills of the staff previously employed at the centre by DAFF, we are hoping to employ the majority of those staff, Mr Hay said.
We have also begun negotiations to continue and enhance the partnerships commenced by the department during the research phase to deliver finfish products to market.
The tropical marine finfish industry and associated activities have many opportunities for growth in Australia and overseas, and Im excited to be leading the investment in this venture.

Later at a news conference promoting the Sun Bowl, where USC was defeated earlier this week, Kiffin said he had no idea when or if Toradol was being used on his players, or about its risks.
"Well, if that was the case then, yeah, I did not know that until you told me," Kiffin said. "You educated me, thank you."
USC and Dr. Tibone have asked a judge to throw out Armstead's lawsuit, and in a brief interview with ABC News, Dr. Tibone denied any wrongdoing.
He said he could not comment on whether he failed to tell Armstead of the possible risks of the prescription painkiller, because of the pending lawsuit.
The team doctor did confirm to ABC News that he used Toradol to treat Armstead's pain and that he continues to use the drug on other USC players.
"These are young, healthy people," he said. "We still use it, we use it diligently."
Whatever the possible risks, an expert on medical ethics, Professor Arthur Caplan of New York University, said team doctors have an obligation to tell players.
"Even if you're the team physician, you still have to follow the standard of care and informed consent," Caplan told ABC News. "You better be disclosing all risks."
In addition to Oklahoma and Nebraska, only four of the other top college football programs questioned by ABC News said Toradol is not used by their team doctors: Ohio State, Oregon State, Boise State and Georgia.
Most schools refused to answer whether players are treated with Toradol, but four confirmed its doctors use the painkiller: Clemson, Texas A&M, San Jose State and USC.
In professional sports, the NFL, NHL and NBA allow the use of Toradol but require teams to keep close track of injections and report the information to the league.
The NCAA, the governing body of college sports, has no such requirement to regulate or even track the use of painkillers, a spokesperson told ABC News.
In a statement, the NCAA said it requires member schools to follow state and federal laws about medical treatment and prescription medicine, and publishes guidelines that include "best practices" for the handling of medication. "NCAA members have decided that it is their individual responsibility to assure compliance with appropriate medication and treatment guidelines," said the statement.
"If we keep track of what happens to, let's say, horses in horse racing, don't we owe it to the athletes to keep track of what's going on in college sports?" asked Professor Caplan.

Kegel Exercises
Simple, Risk-free, and Painless
Identifying the Correct Muscles
- Sit on the toilet and place one finger in your vagina. Squeeze your finger with your vaginal muscle. You should be able to feel the muscle tighten around your finger.
- Imagine that a tampon is going to fall out of your vagina. Tighten your pelvic muscles in order to hang onto it.
- Imagine that you are trying hard not to urinate or pass gas. Squeeze those muscles.
Doing the Exercises
- Do not do these exercises while urinating. It can interrupt the flow of urine which may lead to other problems.
- Empty your bladder before beginning the exercises.
- Keep your abdominal and thigh muscles relaxed.
- Draw the muscles up and in. Do not strain down with your abdomen.
- Breathe while holding the muscles contracted.
- Try to get the maximum tightening with each muscle contraction.
- Try contracting the muscles while you are in different positions. Try it while you are standing, sitting, lying, and with your feet together and apart.
How to do Kegel Exercises
- Lie on the floor. Choose a place that is comfortable, such as in your bedroom.
- Find your pelvic floor muscles. Again, to do this pretend you are trying to stop urinating or passing gas.
- Squeeze your pelvic floor muscles, hold, and count to three.
- Relax for a count of three.
- Squeeze again for three counts, then relax for three counts. Do this 10-15 times.
Making Kegel Exercises a Habit
- Try to schedule your Kegel exercises at the same time every day, such as during a regular TV show, while you do the dishes, or before you go to bed.
- Find a way to remind yourself to do your Kegel exercises. For example, you could put a note or sign on your mirror or refrigerator.
- You may forget to do your exercises for a few days. It is common to have a few slips when you are trying to make any new change. Do not get discouraged. Just get back to your exercise program.
- Chart your progress on a daily or weekly basis. If you were leaking urine before, you should begin to notice that you are leaking urine less frequently or in smaller amounts.

i am hesitant to do this due to chance of bricking the WII
Spot on Edwitt.
You can region mod the Wii so it becomes a USA Wii, Any region Changer AnyRegion Changer - WiiBrew wouild be one option which changes the menu and the relevant region settings for you. Beware of downgrading to 3.2 with it though as it could brick newer Wiis (2009+)
Or get a PAL compatible TV, not so easy in the USA as it is in the UK to get an NTSC compatible set I think.
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
i am hesitant to do this due to chance of bricking the WII
hi due to the fact pal tvs are 50hz and ntsc are 60 hz many ntsc wont support the pal system
however try forcing video to ntsc on game settings
hope this helps
all my back up disc runs perfectly well in usbloader gx except for one -the band hero - what seems to be the problem?
thank you.
OK. have been using ISO with WBFS Manager fine. I just tried using USB Loader GX and installed my original 'Virtual Tennis 2009' with the '+'. This is the first attempt and when USB Loader GX restarts, the game is not there. Am I missing anything? Do I just try another game.
thank in advance
There are several things to check.
Have you had success with any games.
Can you convert an ISO on your PC to WBFS
If its just this game look at the IOS it requires, it may be missing.
Thanks for your reply WiiJohn,
This is the first game I tried, I have three other iso there which I downloaded and converted across that work fine.
I plugged the HDD back to the PC, using WBFS, I can see the game there, just USB Loader does not see it.
You could try, extracting the ISO from the WBFS game on your PC.
Then delete the WBFS game.
The convert the ISO to WBFS.
I've done that before and its worked.
