FINCASTLE, Va. (AP) — A former sheriff in Botetourt County has been indicted on felony charges related to his operation of a private investigation firm.
Media outlets reports Reed Kelly was arraigned this week on four counts of obtaining money under false pretenses.
The 61-year-old Kelly is a former two-term sheriff who retired in 1999.
State police spokesman Sgt. Rob Carpentieri says special agents had received complaints about Kelly's private investigation business. Carpentieri had no further information on the complaints.
The indictments say Kelly allegedly took money or property in excess of $200 from someone on four separate occasions from 2006 to 2011.
Kelly's attorney didn't immediately return a phone message left at his law firm Thursday.

Tire Pressure Indicator Seems Faulty
Hey guys....this morning my exclamation indicator came on and it showed the tire pressure on my passenger side front tire was showing low at 26psi. When I felt the tire I didn't see anything that looked or felt low. And I didn't have a tire gauge in my truck to verify. Anyway...I filled up the tire showing low to 33psi matching the other 3. What was odd is the tire indicator warning still flashed low even though I filled it up. As I drove for a while the tire pressure went up to 35 in all tires but the indicator STILL flashed low on that passenger front tire. After I got to work which
Took an hour in traffic the pressure was still fine but the indicator was still flashing low. I don't see any indication that tire is posing any air and it may be overfilled now which I'll verify later. But my question is has anyone else had this issue and was it a faulty tire pressure indicator? From my understanding each tire has its own sensor and because even when that one tire shows proper pressure its still flashing low it would seem logical that would be the culprit but does anyone have any suggestions; or have had this same issue?
A flashing indicator indicates a problem with the system. A solid light indicates a low tire.
I've had problems with the sensors myself posted many times about it.
But from what you posted and what Ram Tech posted it sounds like the pcm is loosing or has lost contact with one or all the sensors.
Hey Randy its been a while. Glad t see your well and as always thanks for the fast response. To clarify the yellow warning light exclamation is solid as are the other 3 tires showing 35. This morning that one tire was "flashing" 26psi which made me think the tire was low. I filled the tire to match the other 3 tires and the yellow exclamation warning was still solid while that one tire was flashing low. Right now the yellow exclamation is on solid the three other tires are also showing solid but the passenger Front is flashing at 35psi and also flashing LOW. You said if the warning indicator was solid its a low tire but as I mentioned that tire matches the other 3 at 35-36psi which is normal pressure for my tires. 35 is the pressure all my tires say to fill to and that's where I have them filled. So are you saying that even though the pressure is showing 35 that tire is s ill low? Again...the other 3 show the same and are not flashing. Also as I mentioned I've felt the tire and its as solid as the other 3 and doesn't look low. What do you think?
@Jim...I'm not sure what should be solid or flashing to be a system issue. The yellow warning
Exclamation light is solid yellow and when you go into the tire pressure settings the other three tires show 35-36psi SOLID as well. But the passenger front is blinking at 35 and the word LOW is blinking. The yellow indicator is solid and from what Randy stated that would be a low tire?
It shouldn't be flashing and displaying 35 psi, for sure. I'm probably preaching to the choir with this, but you may have to drive it over 15 mph for up to 10 miles for the system to relearn what it needs to. If it's still flashing after this, I'd have it checked out.
UPDATE: Randy, looks like you were right (no surprise there) on the solid warning indicator vs. blinking warning indicator. You were dead on....after work today I checked all 4 of my tires with a good tire pressure indicator and did the 3 good ones first. All showed right at about 34PSI which is where they should be. Then I saved the questionable tire for last and to my surprise, it read 29PSI!! I was pretty sure it was the tire pressure sensors or something similar with that one tire as I could not see any difference in the tire pressure by sight or by feel. Anyway, sure enough it read 29PSI so it was definitely low.
Clearly, the tire pressure indicator had some issues reading it properly because after I put air in it this morning it went from 29psi to 35 psi. But when I kept checking the tire pressure on the way home the one tire read anything from 28psi to 35psi! So clearly the tire pressure sensor system was reporting an issue with that tire it just wasn't getting an accurate read on the air pressure. So when it flashed 29PSI this morning, it must of really been more like 23-24psi. What I did was fill that tire with my key in the ignition and kept checking the tire pressure indicator on the dash until I saw that one tire go to 35psi. Once it did, I stopped filling. But then when it flashed 35psi and it still said "LOW" I figured it was definitely the tire pressure sensor or system. Anyway, what I did was filled that one tire up to 41psi tonight (checked with a tire gauge) figuring that going over 5-7psi should definitely get that indicator warning light off and sure enough it did just that! For the last couple of hours that one tire has read 41psi and hasn't changed and there is no indicator warning light on at all. No warning lights on, no flashing, nothing. If I do have a leak in the tire, it's a very slow one because as I said, for the last 2 hours, it's still showing 41psi and hasn't dropped at all. I'll check it again in the morning and if I see it drop more then a few psi (normal for cold morning weather) then I'll know there's a leak.
The good news is that I am still under my 3/36 had it been the sensor or tire pressure system. But I also purchased a lifetime road hazard and balance and rotate plan from America's Tire as soon as I bought my truck. It's already paid for itself 5 fold as I've balanced my tires 5-6 times, every 5k and there's still a ton of tread on them after 27k miles. If the tire is leaking air, they'll patch it under my road hazard plan free, so it's all good either way.
Thanks again for the info Randy, you are the only person on the planet that has 3 sets of eyes and 10 hands! To be able to respond to posts as quickly as you do is really incredible. Thanks again for the info....i'll update this post one more time with the end result tomorrow.
Well it's been about 12 hours since I overfilled that one tire to 41psi and it's now showing 34psi so it's definitely losing air. It was odd the tire system blinked low at 35psi but that's probably because the tire was really only at 28-29 psi and the leak was causing a read issue on the tire. I'm losing about 7psi every 12 hours so I'm gonna take it in and take advantage of that lifetime road hazard warranty. I I'd rather have this issue vs taking it to the dealer though.
I'd agree, it is a bit strange how it was acting.

They say no one cares about horse racing outside of the Triple Crown. Well, one of racing's most famous courses, a famous statue of the most famous horse, and a horse that completely lost his mind led to a tragic day, with the loss of a horse and the destruction of one of racing's icons.
City On Line freaked out during the post parade at Belmont Park yesterday and bolted off the track to the paddock, where he smashed into a bronze statue of Secretariat. The horse and the statue both collapsed, and City On Line had to be euthanized on the spot. That statue isn't anywhere near the track; this was premeditated horsey suicide.
City On Line was a 4-year-old colt who only recently started to figure out this racing business, says the BROOKLYN BACKSTRETCH. We don't yet know what so spooked him to throw his jockey, Jose Lezcano, nor what caused him to run back through the tunnel under the grandstand to the paddock. We do know he tried to stop; there were skid marks on the pavement close to the statue.
The base of the statue, which weighs more than half a ton, collapsed and caused the famous statue to fall. City On Line was immediately sedated and found to have an irreparably broken femur, and was euthanized then and there.
The monument, "Secretariat in Full Stride," was carved by John Skeaping in 1974, and has become an important part of Belmont lore: before the Belmont Stakes, contending owners and trainers will ask the statue for good luck. Maybe City On Line just got a little overzealous.

On any given week, an estimated 100 million people shop at Walmart, or about a third of the American population. That number is set to tick upward with the advent of Franklin's Walmart Super Center. Like children waiting for Christmas morning, the anticipation continues to rise. For others, the outlook is more of a Walmart Scrooge, with a bah humbug point of view. For some, Walmart is too big/successful to patronize - the evil empire of retail. With annual gross revenue over $400 billion which exceeds many nations GDP, it's understandable why Walmart is despised by some as the Goliath among the David-sized competitors.
There has never been a time when it's been easy for the smalltime operator. The failure rate for new small businesses has always been high, even before Walmart arrived on the scene. The last century saw the emergence of the supermarket and the shopping mall as well as the critics who opposed their existence. These entities created a paradigm shift in the market place.

Strikes on London Underground are due to cause major disruption, with most lines running a reduced service.
Transport for London says it will run as many services as possible on lines during the 48-hour strike, which will start at 9.30pm this evening and end on Friday morning.
Members of the RMT and TSSA unions are to strike in a row over plans to close ticket offices and introduce 24-hour services.
On the Victoria line there will be a service between Sisters and Victoria running approximately every five minutes in both directions, but trains will not stop at Warren Street station.
On the Piccadilly line there will be no service in central London but there will be trains running between Arnos Grove and Cockfosters around every ten minutes in both directions.
A normal service will operate on London Overground lines but some stations connected with underground stations will be affected.

When choosing cover art for her 2013 single Lookin A** Ni**a, Nikki Minaj selected the iconic picture of Malcolm X holding a rifle while looking out his window. The song—intended as a devastating critique of hip-hop culture's treatment of women—is a profanity laced tirade disparaging black men. Although she apologized after the predictable backlash, Minaj later defended her use of the image during a radio interview, calling the picture "a parallel" for hip-hop's treatment of women.
Last year, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons (who at 56 should really know better) posted a parody video on his YouTube channel which featured an actress pretending to be abolitionist and Underground Railroad heroine Harriet Tubman. The actress was portrayed filming sexual escapades with her slave master in order to blackmail him. After multiple complaints, the video was removed. Simmons responded to the outrage, telling the Huffington Post, "…but I still maintain that comedy should push the edge. I misunderstood the underlying implications and I'm deeply sorry for that."
What Wayne and Simmons do not seem to understand is that there is a difference between being edgy and just being obscene. The "underlying implication" Simmons apparently misunderstood was that portraying a courageous heroine as a common whore disrespects not only her memory, but also the cause for which she risked her life. And sadly, Minaj does not seem to be able to discern the difference between a husband and father trying to protect his family and the men who abuse and abandon them.
Fortunately, countless Americans denounced Wayne, Simmons, and Minaj for their extraordinary breaches of decency. Some have speculated that Wayne et al have no reverence for those who paved the way for their success because they haven't truly experienced the struggle themselves. This may be partially true. But I think it is more likely that the current struggle so many black Americans face has changed from the days of slavery and Jim Crow. The fight is no longer about material lack or legal discrimination as much as it is about a toxic deficit of self-respect. Because to mock and belittle the people fought for one's own liberty is to disrespect oneself.
The good news is that enough Americans reacted with the appropriate level of outrage and the wrongs were corrected. What I fear is that we are headed for a day when such antics will no longer generate any backlash at all.

Re: How to auto populate x y coordinates into an ArcPAd formblastinger Aug 16, 2011 11:57 AM (in response to geogeek7713)Your value is going to be the following:
As in: msgbox ("My X Coordinate for the GPS is: " & Application.GPS.X)
The coordinates should return in whatever your coordinate system is for the map doc you're in.
If you want to load this, write a simple subroutine into your VBScript file:
'Sets the editboxes named 'txtXCoordinate' and 'txtYCoordinate to their X and Y Coordinates respectively
Sub OnOpenForm
txtXCoordinate = Application.GPS.X
txtYCoordinate = Application.GPS.Y
End Sub
Now, all you have to do is Set your Form's "OnLoad" object to "OnOpenForm," and Presto,
Re: How to auto populate x y coordinates into an ArcPAd formstucas Aug 28, 2011 4:07 PM (in response to geogeek7713)This looks exactly like the thing I need to execute the same function. Like Geogeek, my VB skills are extremely limited so I'm not sure how to get this into a .apl. I've had few trys at it and it's not coming together (ran it in ArcPad a few times with no result) so I'm obviously missing a step or two.
Can anyone give me a step by step, talk to me like I'm a 5 yr old, method of writing this script into a form please??
Re: How to auto populate x y coordinates into an ArcPAd formdking-esristaff Aug 29, 2011 6:52 AM (in response to geogeek7713)One of the easiest methods I have used is the 'Add XYZ to Table' applet found on Esri ArcScripts site,
http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=16785. This Applet automatically adds GPS information to the attribute table when a feature is created or modified, if the table contains specific fields.
Re: How to auto populate x y coordinates into an ArcPAd formstucas Aug 29, 2011 2:25 PM (in response to geogeek7713)Cheers Denise,
It looks like a good option but I need to populate the form as it opens so the field staff can visully confirm the location has been captured and potentially compare the captured XY coordinates with previous coordinate readings.
So I need to auto populate the X and Y fields with the readings from the GPS device. If anyone can step-by-step detail how I go about achieving this, I'll be enternally grateful.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- For the third time in a week, Knoxville firefighters were called to a house at 2427 Jefferson Ave, but this time left the building completely destroyed.
In an email, Knoxville Fire Dept. Captain D.J. Corcoran called the fire and says arson investigators are looking into its cause.
The first call came in Tuesday morning over a small utility room fire and left the 15 occupants without their place to stay.
One Friday, the second call left firefighters fighting flames for three hours.
The third call was at 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning over fire erupting from the roof, but this time the house was completely destroyed.

Just a short distance from the glories of Dovedale, this eye-catching black-and-white country property was created over 200 years ago on the footprint of a medieval farmhouse. It became a pub only in the 1970s. Many period features remain, including a splendid central log fireplace. Outside are several acres of landscaped gardens which host the World Toe-Wrestling Championship every summer. From this you may deduce that real ales play an important part in the daily life of the inn; Leatherbritches (which originated here), Marston's and Falstaff brews are all on offer. Service starts with breakfast at 8am (8.30 in winter), but check the inn's diary if you're planning an evening out - the week is dotted with special attractions such as the Chinese buffet on Thursdays. With a menu proffering popular pub meals, there's something for everyone: from tandoori chicken skewers to scampi in a basket. Children and dogs are made very welcome, and the Sunday carvery lunch is popular.

The cold temperatures and gusty winds forecasted for the area have local organizations preparing for an increase in need.
"We are prepared to open our doors to anyone in need," United Community Ministries Executive Director Chris Battle said. "If people need to come in from the cold, we'll have the soup kitchen room serving as a makeshift dormitory. Typically we don't have overnight staff, but we will in case someone tries to make it and it is too cold, there will be someone there to receive them."
The shelter on McDonald Street can house 50 people and is at capacity, but a partnership with the city of Rocky Mount and American Red Cross yielded 10 extra cots that will serve as emergency bedding for those in need. A white flag is also flown at the shelter to indicate the extra capacity.
The American Red Cross always has volunteers and staff on-call to respond to fires, but especially during cold stretches when residents take risky shortcuts to heat homes. American Red Cross Regional CEO Lynwood Roberson said he has seen a number of residents use candles, stoves and even grills to heat their homes, which can expose people to carbon monoxide poisoning. Overloading circuits and not removing combustibles such as rugs from the area around space heaters also are prevalent fire risks people take during cold snaps.
"We see creative heating solutions increase during cold weather," Roberson said. "With the economy and utility bills, they try to do something on the more affordable side, but the methods they often try are definitely not safe."
Roberson said it is important for residents to turn off heaters when not in the room or going to sleep as well as reading manufacturer recommendations. Checking in with elderly neighbors also is essential during cold weather as is covering any exposed skin and keeping hydrated throughout winter.
"If you have animals that must stay outside such as horses, make sure they have hay or some sort of bedding to stay warm. If you have dogs and cats, bring them inside out of the cold weather," Roberson said. "Extreme cold is like extreme heat in that you should avoid exposure to the outside if you can."
The National Weather Service issued a wind chill advisory from 3 a.m. to 10 a.m. Tuesday with temperatures expected to fall into the teens overnight with persistent winds bringing the wind chill to zero-to-negative 5 below zero. The highs for Tuesday are expected to be in the mid-to-upper 20s and dipping back into the teens for Tuesday night.
These cold temperatures also can cause exposed pipes to freeze and burst, so officials recommended letting faucets drip and prepare for cold weather by insulating pipes with foam covers. If a pipe is frozen, use a hair dryer to start to thaw pipes and contact a plumber.
School districts have announced a delay to Tuesday's schedule, including Edgecombe County Public Schools which will operate on a three-hour delay. Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools will operate on a two-hour delay.

Mark Wahlberg (The Departed) and his The Italian Job cohort, rising action star Jason Statham (also in War, The Transporter films). I haven't heard much else, and found out about this in a recent Entertainment Weekly interview with Statham.
If it tuns out to be true, this sounds like some pretty cool casting.
I don't doubt that both actors have at least been approached. Unlike Transformers, this movie is more about the flesh-and-blood characters (and hopefully awesome action), so casting is important on this one.

JASPER, Tenn. (AP) -- The city of Jasper is considering going back to old technology to warn residents of emergencies.
Fire Chief Chris Rector has asked the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to let him test the old siren downtown. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported the alarm hasn't sounded in more than a year.
Mayor Paul Evans said he's had questions from citizens about whether the siren still worked.
Rector wants to examine the siren for any obvious problems and then test it.
South Pittsburg recently again began using its siren for both severe weather and fires.

I suppose most guys would have been worried getting involved with a girl like her, but I wasn't. Just the opposite. I loved that she wasn't ashamed to admit she enjoyed sex, that she had it as often as she wanted and didn't let petty words like "slut" define her.
And I loved her name—the irony of it, the way it sounded, the way it tasted in my mouth. Despite its meaning, "chastity" has got to be one of the most erotic words ever invented. It made me want to fuck her even more. Every time I said it—every time I thought it—the air around me would humidify and I would look at her and see an innocent child, pure and untouched, and I would want to deflower her all over again.
I told her this once, and she laughed and said, "Oh, Christian… how un-Christian of you."
I gave her the finger. Then winked.
I've always hated my name: Christian. Not because it's ugly or anything, but because I'm a hardcore atheist. Have been since the age of fourteen, and damn proud of it.
Chastity and I made fun of each other's names something terrible. It was our way of making light of them, of forgiving our parents for giving them to us. Honestly I think part of the reason why we loved each other was because of our names—because they described the opposite of who we were, because we accepted them even though we hated them. I also think it had something to do with us both coming from fundamentalist households and having a strong distaste for religion in general.
But there was so much more. Chastity was unique. She represented something rare and special, a person unwilling to conform to social standards. She was an attention-seeker if I'd ever seen one, and she showed it. She dyed her hair orange and wore white, star-shaped sunglasses that she'd once found at a thrift store; they'd been on sale for less than a dollar because they were broken, but she'd bought them anyway and fixed them with duct tape.
She had a tattoo. The day we met she told me about it. It was a blooming rose directly above her left breast with a thorny vine that curled around and circled her entire torso. When I asked her why she didn't get one in a more "traditional" area like her shoulder blade or her lower back or her ankle, she scoffed and said, "Because that's so cliché!"
She was definitely not like any of the other girls I'd dated, and I admired her for that.
Sometimes I still can't believe she and I only fucked once.
I'd been lying on her bed shirtless, trying to get a nap in after taking a ridiculously long midterm. Wearing just a bra and checkered miniskirt, standing next to her desktop which had iTunes open and was playing Madonna's "Vogue," she turned to me, a smirk on her face, and said, "I love it when you do that."
"Do what?" I asked, half-asleep.
She sauntered over to the edge of the bed, next to my waist. "Lie on the bed shirtless, looking like you want me to fuck you."
I smiled, instantly horny, and decided to play with her. "What makes you think I want you to fuck me?"
"You do," she answered, and then crawled over top of me, straddling me. "Don't tell me you don't," she said, "because I know you do." She grinned, her cherry-red lip gloss shining in the light that was spilling in through the window.
And I couldn't play anymore. I gave in, just like that. "Yeah, I do."
She let out a giggle—a really cute "teehee"-sounding giggle—and then quickly changed her expression to a feigned look of seriousness. "Well, I suppose I should give you what you want, shouldn't I?"
I couldn't help chuckling. She was playing with me now.
"That's what a good girlfriend would do." She ran the manicured nail of her index finger over my chest and stomach, stopping at the button on my jeans. She tucked her bottom lip under her top teeth as she popped it open. "Am I a good girlfriend?" she asked.
"Of course," I replied.
She grinned in return—"Hell yeah, I am"—and then took it from there.
The next day I left for Thanksgiving Break.
About a week after I returned, once I'd gotten back into the swing of my classes, she invited me up to her dorm room again. It smelled like puke. As I closed the door behind me, I heard her toilet flush. She wobbled out in her pajamas, looking groggy and sick. "It smells like barf in here," I said. "Are you okay?"
She took a seat on her bed. Patted the space beside her, beckoning me to sit there. I did, and the next thing I knew she was sobbing into my shoulder.
"Hey," I said, "what's the matter?"
Gently, she lifted her head up, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and replied, "I'm pregnant."
My stomach clenched. My whole body went stiff—so stiff I could actually hear my heart thumping. I felt electrified, frozen. I asked the first question that came to me: "Is it mine?"
"What do you mean?" she snapped. She looked at me like she wanted to tear my throat out. I don't think I'd ever seen her so pissed before. "Of course it's yours, you fuck face! Whose do you think it is?"
"No, I just meant—" I paused. I didn't know what I meant. That question had come out before I'd had time to think about it—about what I was really implying. Truth is, as much as I loved and trusted Chastity, I didn't want it to be mine. I'd rather her have said she fucked some other guy over break than say I was the father. "I'm sorry," I said quickly. And I really was. "What are we going to do now?"
She shrugged, combed her fingers through her hair, and then shook her head. "I don't know."
That scared me. It wasn't like her to be uncertain. She was the type to know what to do, and to do it.
To make matters worse, she asked me what we should do.
I took a deep breath. What could I say but the truth? "I really don't want to be a father right now," I said. "I'm not ready for that."
She nodded, her expression blank. Contemplating.
"Are you angry?"
She thought for a moment before answering. "No." Then she looked me in the eyes and told me we shouldn't see each other anymore.
If I were any kind of man, I would have stayed. I would have set my fears aside, taken her hand, and told her I'd stand by her no matter what. Like the gentlemen in movies do. But I wasn't a man, so I left.
A few weeks later, she sent me a text telling me she was going to adopt the baby out. She said she still wasn't angry at me for wanting nothing to do with it, and that I wouldn't have to worry about child support.
I sent her one back telling her to take care. She responded with a simple "You too."
I didn't get another one until March of the following year. She told me she was four months along and that she'd changed her mind about giving the baby up for adoption—she was going to keep it instead. She'd dropped out of college for the time being and was dating again; a Christian named Andrew. He was going to help her raise it.
I wondered if he knew she was an atheist. I wondered if he knew I was too, and how he'd react. He'd probably be happy about it, I figured. Probably think he was doing the Lord's work, saving an innocent soul from the likes of the damned or some bullshit.
I texted back, saying that was great and I hoped she and her new beau enjoyed their little bundle of joy.
Then she sent one saying the baby wouldn't know of me.
I told her that was just as well.
The next time she texted me it was the end of summer, and her text consisted of three lines:
His name is Joshua.
7lbs, 11oz.
He has your eyes.
She'd sent me a picture. I braced myself as I clicked on it.
It had been taken right after he was born. His skin was a reddish color, his eyes open to just slits. He had a dark tuft of hair on his head; that was the only thing of mine that I could see. I stared at him for a long time, then texted back with "He's beautiful."
I never spoke to Chastity again, and she never sent me any more pictures. But I kept the one she did send.
I look at it every day.
Her Name Was Chastity by TheEmptyChestWatch
It is very sad he couldn't actually meet Joshua. I know this probably happens a lot but he should be given at least a shot at meeting him, even if older and even if in secret, as in not telling the kid he is his father. Also, I have always found it strange how a girl can find another man so quickly. I was kind of hoping she would give it up for adoption and he would adopt it instead, for the piece held a linger of regret throughout its entirety.
Just, I don't know. As a girl myself, it would break my heart not to know any kids I would have and I wouldn't even think of what the men would do since they didn't carry it. Ugh, it is just so sad.
So sorry for this inexcusably late reply!
Agreed, it is very sad. He may still meet Joshua in the future, but now he probably thinks it's for the best that he doesn't, and, as the author of the piece, I can understand him. If he were to meet Joshua it would probably make the whole thing more emotional than it already is. He looks at the picture of him every day. If he were to see him in person, he may change his mind about fatherhood, and I think deep down he's scared by that: he's scared of fatherhood, scared that he wouldn't make a good father, scared that his involvement would make things worse for Joshua (especially since Joshua has a father figure in his life now).
I get that, but like you said, this sort of thing happens a lot. We tend to vilify fathers who aren't in their children's lives. I wanted to get into one's mind and humanize him. Perhaps some of those hit-the-road fathers want to be involved with their kids but are afraid to - afraid they'll be just like their own fathers, afraid they'll screw their kids up. Fear is a strong emotion, y'know?
Thank you for your thought-provoking and honest comment! I appreciate it!
Sorry for my own late reply.
Actually this piece is helping with one of my characters right now. The situation is he is technically married without it being his choice but he comes to like his wife but now they are having a baby and he is less than enthusiastic though he tells her she can keep it. I am trying hard to show that he is as supportive as he can be even though he grows more and more distant from her, though after the baby is born he will pretty much let all those previous worries be gone in a heartbeat. I wanted that when I started writing it in high school but only now is it actually getting to that part. This is helping me figure out that depth of regret.
On a more realistic note, one of my best friends and her sisters were given custody to their father after her parents divorced because of her mother's, um, issues. Usually our courts favor the mother above all else when, if you think about it, the father could be just as good if not better than the mother from time to time. Heck, I bet there are a few guys that would rather be just like the women who say to hell with marriage and just get knocked up and raise the babies on their own. Science has found that all a zygote needs is to connect to blood-rich tissue to grow, meaning so long as it is controlled to where what said blood-rich tissue is (not the liver,) men could technically carry a baby. But then, there is this: A little cruel to laugh at Though Henry Cho, a comedian I rather like, said in his show that if God came down and said that men were suddenly the ones to have babies, they would turn right around and say "Okay, no more people."
I'd be interested to see these two as secondary characters in other stories you write [they're too good to just one off like this].
Or don't, I mean, don't let ME tell YOU how to write, haha.
I take that back. It's far too easy to put it into words, but the words themsevles don't seem to cover it.
It's hard in the first place to envoke feelings like that from experiences from another gender, and you did it beautifully and passionatly. The regret and remorse that he has you place in just the right subtlety to make it real from his standpoint.
I've had two abortions done on a girfriend and wife. The one without my knowledge, and the other with full knowledge. I wonder everyday what my kids would have looked like and the remorse that you described is exactly how it feels.
Bravo. You hit it right on the head. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for letting me deal with that.
Beautiful peice and don't ever stop writing.
Thank you! I've been writing from the male perspective quite a bit lately, experimenting with it. I'm glad I succeeded in making the narrator believable. Despite his flaws, he has a good heart (and his raw honesty about his mistakes is admirable). Whether he's good-hearted enough to earn the reader's respect and sympathy is of question. As the author, I have to say I feel for him. But of course, I'm just the author.
Thank you very much for sharing that personal detail about yourself. I appreciate it more than words can say. I fully admit that I'm pro-choice; however, I understand how an abortion could cause uncertainty and regret. I hope you don't let such feelings keep you from living life. Everyone makes spur-of-the-moment mistakes. What is truly important is learning from them.
Aww, thank you! I'm moved. Rest assured, I have no intention to stop writing.
By the way, you might want to check out "A Thousand Needles" (another prose piece I did). It's longer, yes, but I think you'd like it. I'd love to have your feedback on it.
His regret in this piece is intensely beautiful.

June's Hot Writer: Kathryn Born
My literary influences: Richard Brautigan, Barry Yourgrau and Amos Tutuola
My favorite literary quote: "If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it."
― Anaïs Nin
My favorite book of all time: Aye, that's a hard question. I was blown away by "The History of Love" by Nicole Krauss
I'm currently reading: "The Bridge" by Iain Banks
My guilty pleasure book: "How to Write a Movie in 21 Days" - but now I see there's a PDF on the Internet called "How to Write a Movie in 10 Days" - so I might switch to that (because that's even faster).
I can't write without: Total and complete silence, 5 hour periods of time and ice tea. Writing is fantastic in that you need nothing – borrow a pen and flip over a paper placemat and you can create work. For art, you need supplies; movies you need a crew - so as one who does a lot of art forms, I appreciate the simplicity of writing.
Worst line I ever wrote: Brilliant lines that I later realized were actually written by someone else.
Brief Bio:
Born and raised in Chicago, Kathryn Born is a writer, artist and filmmaker. Her first novel, The Blue Kind was published in November of 2012, and she is currently adapting it into a screenplay. She is also toying with the idea of creating a reader's guide that will clarify the confusing parts of the novel. Her first book, The Essential New Art Examiner, an anthology about the long-running regional art magazine "The New Art Examiner" was published in 2011. She founded Chicago Art Magazine in 2009, along with online publications about technology and film. She lives with her husband and two children in the suburbs of Chicago, and is working on a software algorithm that will match people with the indie films, books art, and music they are most likely to enjoy.
A writer with an MFA in Creative Writing from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Sarah Terez Rosenblum freelances for sites like Pop Matters and
afterellen.com Her debut novel, "Herself When She's Missing," was called "poetic and heartrending" by ALA Booklist. Sarah is also a figure model, Spinning instructor and teacher at Chicago's StoryStudio. Inevitably one day she will find herself lecturing naked on a spinning bike. She's kind of looking forward to it actually.

An amazing recording
January 1, 2014
Reviewer: Jonathan Kleefield from Newton Centre, MA United States
The previous reviewer has given due accolades to the superb musicians and their choice of music. I must also add that the recorded sound more than does justice to these fine performances. Reading the liner notes, it was no suprise why this disc is sonically so special- the recording engineer was Shawn Murphy, recognized as one of the greatest in his field. Considered by John Williams as literally his "right hand man" when it comes to sound recording, as well as a frequent partner of Steven Spielberg in his film projects, he brings his unique talents to make this disk one of true "demonstration quality." With the right reproducing equipment, the brass literally fills your listening room with the most realistic clarity and bite that perfectly complements the organ. And, most of alll, Mr. Murphy and his associates have captured the cathedral's acoustic with a realism that will astound you. In summary, a superb addition to anyone's recorded library- truly a must buy!

November 2, 2010
Reviewer: Christian Ellithorpe from Streamwood, IL United States
While the Brass Ensemble is the Star of this disc, any Organ enthusiast will quickly fall in love with this Stunning release. A Carillon of bells open, followed by a wave of joyful energy in the finest & most original arrangement of Joy to The World I've ever heard. This carol is so ubiquitous, it's hard to remember the last time it seemed fresh and new to me. There's some rarely featured pieces. A perfect case in point is track 4, one which will resonate especially well for Brass Ensemble fans. It's the Classic Philip Jones Brass Ensemble/Elgar Howarth arrangement of Greensleeves. The Bay Brass Ensemble's performance EXCEEDS that of the Legendary PJBE. Organ also has moments which burn as brightly, such as Handel's "Hallelujah". Finally, any truly "Great" Christmas album generally features one or more rare pieces. My favourite on this disc is the Majestic Schutz "Psalm VIII", the first time I've ever heard this piece on a Christmas disc. This CD is full of surprises like this. A++!

Hotel RashmiAgra, India
Booked on hostel world.com I arrived at 4 to check in and said I did not have a room. Even though I pre paid and had confirmation number. They said come back at 7:30 and they might have room. Came back and they said to wait Til 10:30. Keep in mind I had not slept for awhile and was getting up early for the Taj sunrise. The room was a mess and floor wet. Looks like they kicked an Indian family out for me. It was noisy and never slept. Asked for a discount and nothing. Horrible place.

Cannot write, format, nor erase flash drive
Recently i just came across this problem, my usb doesn't seem to work anymore as i'm not able to access it or pretty much do anything to it. It says it is corrupted therefore i tried to format it as i already have backed up my files. However, it does not format because it is 'write protected'. i tried many ways to disable this, i have tried:
- Using registry edit and putting write protection to 0
- Using DiskPart
- Used different types of formatting tool
- Used Linux or whatever it is
Does anyone have any solutions for this, because everywhere i searched no one seems to have an answer Thanks. :)

Anchorage police are investigating a shooting late Wednesday near the Dimond Center mall, during which two people were injured.
Police responded to reports of the shooting involving two groups in 12 separate vehicles, outside the Sports Authority store just east of the mall across the Old Seward Highway, at 10:45 p.m. Wednesday. Channel 2's Adam Pinsker saw police searching the area near McDonald's for evidence.
At least one female was injured during the shooting, police say, and has been transported to a local hospital for treatment of her injuries. Her status was unavailable, as was that of another unidentified person taken to Providence Hospital.
An officer on scene says multiple persons of interest are in custody and being interviewed in relation to the incident, but as of 1 a.m., no arrests have been made.
This is a developing story. Please check KTUU.com and the Channel 2 newscasts for updates.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Special Issue on Hypercomplex Signal Processing
Traditionally, real- and complex-valued signals and images are the prototypes encountered in the signal processing communities. However, there is a growing number of applications where signals and images have samples living on more exotic algebraic structures. Highly challenging computational issues arise in the development of algorithms devoted to the processing of such signals and images.
Special Issue on Signal Processing for Heterogeneous Sensor Networks(SI:SP-HSN)
The proliferation of Heterogeneous Sensor Networks (HSN) has created a large amount of multi-sensor signals across multi-modality (e.g., optical, EO/IR, acoustic/seismic, RF, electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal, electrical, etc). Traditional approach often makes detection at each sensor and integrates the binary decision information at a central processor. In doing so, much of the important sensor signal information has lost. The result of this low quality processing is subsequent ineffective detection, localization, and tracking algorithms, relative to what is possible if the full signals of the sensors were processed and leveraged using signal processing tools such as information geometry, particle filter, orthogonal transforms, principal component analysis, sparse signal processing, etc. This need is also motivated by the fact that humans display a remarkable capability to perform multimodal signal processing despite noisy sensory signals and conflicting inputs. Humans are adept at network visualization, and at understanding subtle implications among the network connections. To date, however, human's innate ability to process and integrate signals from disparate, network-based sources has not translated well to signal processing in HSN.
Special Issue on Multimodal Quality model: New Methods and Applications
Multimodal quality models aim at evaluating the quality of multiple media contents (e.g., image, audio, and video), either objectively or subjectively. They are useful tools in various applications such as graphical design, recommendation systems, and etc. Building a successful quality model depends on a wide range of domain knowledge, like signal processing, semantic modeling, and human perception. Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to design computational quality models. While effective methods to manipulate this task are still at their infancy.
Special Issue on Signal Processing and Learning Methods for 3D Semantic Analysis
This special issue will target the most recent technical progresses on the signal processing and learning methods for 3D semantic analysis, including 3D representation and registration, 3D object retrieval and recognition, tracking, segmentation and reconstruction.
Special Issue on Machine Learning and Signal Processing for Human Pose Recovery and Behavior Analysis
With the rapid development of computing and sensing technologies, human pose recovery and behaviour analysis are becoming emergent, and a lot of approaches have been proposed for potential applications, such as home entertainment, media content analysis, public surveillance/security, and education purposes. Machine learning and signal processing are critically important for precisely recovering human poses and effectively analysing behaviours.
Special Issue on wireless acoustic sensor networks and ad hoc microphone arrays
This special issue covers the signal processing theory, modeling, algorithms, and implementation aspects related to wireless acoustic sensor networks and ad hoc microphone arrays and their use in various applications.
Special Issue on Image Restoration and Enhancement: Recent Advances and Applications
Image restoration and enhancement is a classical research area in image processing. Previously, adaptive local and nonlocal approximations have been popular. Local approximations attempt to estimate the image content in a locally adaptive neighborhood. Nonlocal methods exploit the self-similarity within the whole image without the constraint of locality. The former tends to be more efficient and the latter would produce better results. Recently, learning-based techniques adopting advances in machine learning and computer vision, such as sparse coding and dictionary learning, have attracted much more attention and been applied to image/video restoration and enhancement. These techniques can represent image contents better using learned dictionaries. In addition, some novel application areas, e.g., legacy photos and paintings, HD/3D displays, mobile and portable devices, and web-scale data, have prompted new research interests in image/video restoration and enhancement.
