The C4 Engine is a comprehensive suite of professional, robustly implemented game programming tools for the PlayStation 4, Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and iOS platforms.
Eric is a very good coder and has made a very nice engine, the code is clean and professional and the engine is as stable as rock. But unfortunately the tools aren't very artist friendly, they don't support multi screen setups, many developers use more than one screen so this is a major pita for fast work, instead of working almost exclusively on a 3D view it requires you to perform some tasks on the 2D orthographic views more times then what is desirable, the window where you pick and search for your models and game objects (called nodes in C4) is a very complicated and strange hierarchy tree like system, it should be much simpler then that, i will not mention other engines but theres much better implementations of this on other engines.
Eric is also a coder that tries to put too much stuff in the same basket, what do i mean by this, for example he tries to make all himself without using any other 3rd party software on his engine, for example the physics engine, Eric instead of implementing a already made physics engine, like the majority of his concurrents, he made his one, it makes for a better integration and support is true, but unfortunately it slows down the development of other important features, and the physics aren't that good, objects don't behave realistically, for example theres no self rotation when an object is flying from a explosion, and sometimes the character controller becomes stuck at the boundaries of floor geometries. Because of this Eric is slow at implementing more visible stuff, things that could make the engine stand out, HDR that is being promised for a looong time now but is being pushed further and further away, the grass system and the underwater capabilities that could make the engine really stand out are also still to be made, etc, Eric prioritizes stuff that don't really give much exposure to his engine and because of that, a very good engine is being brushed aside for engines imo much worse.

Houma Christian wins season opener
Published: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 1:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 1:21 p.m.
HOUMA — Houma Christian quickly turned a scoreless tie into a rout on Tuesday night.
The Lady Warriors scored four runs in the third inning before adding seven more in the fourth to pull away for an 11-0 shutout victory over Central Lafourche in nondistrict play at the Westside Girls Softball Complex on Martin Luther King Boulevard.
After failing to score with runners on base in each of the first two innings, the Lady Warriors sent 12 batters to the plate in the fourth inning and recorded five consecutive run-scoring hits at one point to turn a 4-0 lead into a blowout.
Lauren Crowdus pitched four scoreless innings of one-hit ball for Houma Christian (1-0 overall) and was 3-for-3 at the plate with three RBIs in the victory.
Lauren Crowdus, Natalie Voisin, Shira LeGreca and Emily Albares all provided run-scoring hits for the Lady Warriors in the fourth inning.
Third baseman Lindsay Crowdus (2-for-2, double, two walks) and second baseman Ashley Mangar (2-for-2, walk, RBI) finished with two hits apiece.
"It definitely helps to come out and get a big win your first game," Lady Warriors coach Christi Crowdus said. "It kind of sets the tone for the rest of the year. We started off a little sluggish at the plate, but I knew it would just be a matter of time before they came through.
"Overall, I was pleased with the way they played."
The Lady Trojans first big scoring threat came with the bases loaded and two out in the top of the third inning.
Crowdus, however, managed to strike out her counterpart, Lady Trojans pitcher Danielle Robichaux, to escape the inning unharmed.
A half inning later, Crowdus made the Lady Trojans (1-1) pay for not capitalizing when they had the chance, sending a two-run double over the head of Central Lafourche left fielder Ashlyn Grabert to score the game's first two runs and give Houma Christian its first lead.
Robichaux pitched three innings, allowing four runs. Kaylee Cole, a freshman, pitched an inning in relief, allowing all seven runs in the fourth inning.
Central Lafourche coach Kayci Knight cited a lack of communication for her team's collapse in the final two innings of Tuesday's game.
"It's something where we've been trying to get somebody to take the lead and lead us out there," Knight said. "This is a team sport, and we need to communicate. Without that, we won't be successful, no matter how much skill we have."
Heather Adams (1-for-2) recorded the Lady Trojans' only hit, a sharp single to center field to lead off the third inning.
Lindsay Crowdus pitched the final inning of relief for Houma Christian, recording all three outs by way of the strikeout. She walked one batter. A groundout by Mangar sent in a run a half-inning earlier, capping the scoring for Houma Christian.

Knowledge Management at Your Service: New Solutions and Sources for Librarians
Lamont, Judith, Searcher
Knowledge management is sometimes described as "getting the right information to the right people at the right time, so they can make the right decisions." Although the term has come to be associated with software that automates the process, librarians have long been knowledge managers, especially by this definition. Corporate and academic librarians and information specialists manage the collection and distribution of critical information based on knowing what information their clients need and what information sources could meet those needs.
Many of the new and more powerful knowledge management software tools that could assist information specialists in their mission have yet to be widely used in the library environment. Ironically, this is partly because libraries were early adopters of computer technology, for bibliographic information and online database searches among other things. Once entrenched, these legacy systems were difficult to dislodge, although their limitations posed significant disadvantages.
Some integrated library systems (ILSs) have ported to standard SQL relational databases (e.g., Oracle, Progress, MS-SQL Server), but others are still written in proprietary languages or in multiple languages, remaining difficult to integrate with other enterprise systems. In any case, dealing with the complex layers of integration falls on professional librarians to implement and to manage the modules that integrate traditional technical services functions, such as acquisitions, cataloging, circulation, and serials management.
Proprietary systems also often present a steep learning curve for users who seek to maximize the effectiveness and value of the search. In today's self-service research environment, this counts as a disadvantage. The more advanced systems offer an online public access catalog (OPAC) for searching, which can often integrate with a corporate portal that facilitates self-service.
Several categories of knowledge management solutions offer potential for libraries. Sophisticated search and retrieval software, expertise location and management (ELM), and business intelligence (BI) products are among the KM solutions that can enhance library services. More flexible, user-friendly, and with broader functionality than many traditional library applications, these tools should be considered as options whenever organizations reassess their existing systems and processes.
Evolution in Search Solutions
The Internet has proven a mixed blessing for librarians, on the one hand providing a bounty of information, while on the other, failing to find target information. "The Web is wonderful in many respects," says Hays Butler, a law librarian at Rutgers University, "but I am least happy with the general search engines. If you use a keyword in Google or AltaVista or one of the other search engines, you will get thousands of irrelevant hits." Butler opts instead for such specialized sites as Thomas [http://thomas.loc. gov], created by the Library of Congress, and GPO Access [http://www.gpoaccess.gov].
Turbo 10 [http://turbo10.com], a new metasearch tool scheduled to emerge from beta testing early in 2004, offers some new and intriguing capabilities. This product allows users to select up to 10 individual search engines and place them into a collection that conducts a federated search. Because Turbo10 can select from among highly specialized search engines, it allows much more focused searches. Another important feature is its ability to search the "Deep Net," including databases. In contrast, Web crawlers usually get only as far as the Web interface of such databases but cannot access their content.
Search engine consultant Robin Nobles [http://search engineworkshops.com] concurs. "Internet search tools can't get past the first page of a database," she says, and points to the millions of pages of potentially relevant documents on the Web not being searched. …

Quake, Meet GPL; GPL, Meet Quake
Tremulous is an interesting game. It's kind of a cross between a first-person-shooter and a real-time strategy game. Although the game is played in first person, and indeed, you frag the other team, you also build devices and set up bases. Unlike most other first-person-shooter games, the two races in Tremulous are drastically different. The humans are, well, humans. The aliens, however, are spider-like and tend to attack without weapons. The idea behind Tremulous is really remarkable, and the two separate races make for radically different game play.
This is another game that is simple to install on Ubuntu. All it takes is a quick:
# sudo apt-get install tremulous
If you have a different distribution, www.tremulous.net supplies a generic installer. Honestly, installing Tremulous is painless. I wish I could say the same about actually playing the game.
Tremulous is hard—really, really, really hard. Unfortunately, there is no single-player version, nor is there any support for bots. The only way to play Tremulous is against other people. Other people, as a group, all tend to be better than I am. I played for more than an hour, both as a human and as an alien, and I didn't get a single kill—not a single one.
I'm sure there are other folks who understand the game better than I do, and I know there are other people who can play the game better than I do. Sadly, Tremulous is the game I was most excited about, and the game I enjoyed the least. No matter what race I chose, or what character I chose to play, I just couldn't get the hang of playing. Figure 3 shows me dying. So does Figure 4.
The last game on the list has many similarities to the first. World of Padman has the same sort of fast-action and easy-to-learn features that make Open Arena so great. The interesting twist is that World of Padman is staged in a cartoon-like, oddly proportioned environment. All the players are tiny mouse-sized, and the "maps" are generally rooms in a house. I absolutely love the graphics, and apart from a few annoyances, it is easily the most visually appealing of the four.
Although World of Padman isn't distributed as a package for Ubuntu, the installer is very easy to use. On its Web site, www.worldofpadman.com, it even offers a live DVD version of the game. (Actually, several games are on the DVD.) Once the installer was done, I did have one small issue. It wouldn't start. When I started from the command line, I could see the game was complaining it didn't have libvorbisfile installed. After I installed it (sudo apt-get install libvorbisfile3), the game started just fine. I was a little surprised the installer didn't check for stuff like that, but all in all, it wasn't too hard to fix.
World of Padman is demanding on the video card. Even with details and resolution turned way down, I still could tell the video card was holding me back. In high-action scenes, like the one shown in Figure 5, the screen started to stutter. As the requirements mention a need for a 128MB OpenGL video card, I guess I can't complain that my 8MB shared memory video was a bit underpowered. The game was still very playable, even with my system.
This game is pure fun. The weapons range from a water-balloon launcher to a bubble-gum gun. The maps are extremely detailed and enjoyable to explore. My only real complaint is with the pictures on the main menu and on the loading screen. A game that would otherwise be perfect for young gamers quickly becomes inappropriate due to the sexually explicit cartoons. If there were a G-rated version of the game, I would install it for my kids to play and use it for the after-school gaming club at our school. Unfortunately, it's a little to risqué for such an environment.
Also, although the single-player mode isn't yet complete, World of Padman has excellent bots. If you have a poor Internet connection or poor gaming skills, it's possible to have tons of fun with a local server full of bots. Honestly though, World of Padman is easy enough that while playing on-line, I actually fared quite well. Although I really enjoyed Open Arena, I think World of Padman might be my favorite game of the bunch.

Nexuiz is not quake3-based
Kosh: Nexuiz is not based on the Quake3 engine. It uses improved Quake1 engine called "DarkPlaces".
+1 for Nexuiz

Open Arena
If you are an Ubuntu user you best get Open Arena from www.openareana.ws It's the current 0.8.1 version, the one supplied with Ubuntu is two versions behind the times. There are not many online servers left using the old version. Just unzip in your home directory and you are ready to frag.
Forgot the best one.
I have played all of the games you mentioned except for Padman and you forgot the best of them all - Nexiuz. The game is very easy to install, straight forward to customize , has single and multi-player games. The only issues I have had is I can not see were I can turn on the grappling hook in single player mode and I am a terrible shot. But I can move fast so watch out when I am in the capture the flag maps.
More grep nitpicking:
glxinfo | grep -i rendering
The "-i" switch makes grep case-insensitive.
-- "Sgt. Bothari" in Urban Terror
The pipeline
glxinfo | grep '[Rr]endering'
would have
a) captured the information you wanted from the glxinfo report,
b) been more readable to your audience,
c) accomodated both the capitalized and the lowercased word, and
c) needed no explanation about why you left off the R
Just a thought
Quake 3 Arena
Well, I am familiar with Open Arena, Urban Terror and Tremulous and I think that even though these games are good, they just can't compete with good ol' Quake III. Also, Quake III engine under GPL is IMHO a great thing even if one isn't a game developer. Think of the compatibility, if not anything else.

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

Amarillo or Ajis Amarillo Chili Powder
Amarillo chili peppers are 5" to 6 " long and yellow in color. This is the most common chili grown in Peru and is a staple in Peruvian and other south American cuisines. The word "aji" is Spanish for pepper and "amarillo" is yellow. There are hundreds of varities of chilies grown in Peru. The three best known being the amarillo, mirasol and panca. While the amarillo chili pepper is hot with a Scoville level of approximately 30,000 units, they have a delicious, fruity flavor that is robust enough to nicely balance their heat. As a result, most consumers do not realize these chili peppers are so hot. Silver Cloud's Amarillo Chili, Ground can be added to soups, sauces, and other dishes. Sprinkle this chili with a little salt on grilled beef, chicken and fish. Another must for any serious cook's pantry.

Cascabel Chili, Whole Dried Pods
The name of the cascabel chili (kahs-kah-BEL), which translates as little bell, is also known as the chili bola or "rattle" chili. The names refer to the shape of the chili as well as the sound the seeds make when the dried chili is shaken. Typically sold whole, the cascabel chili is deep red to brown in color and when mature is about 1-1/2" in diameter. Cascabel chilies have medium heat with a Scoville level of approximately 1,500 - 2,500 units. Cascabels have a nutty taste and are used for a wide range of applications including salad dressings, stews and soups. When cut or ground into powder, the chili releases its flavor and heat. The cascabel's skin is leathery and the chilies should be pureed or removed prior to a dish incorporating them being served
Chipotle Flakes and Powder
Silver Cloud's Chipotle Flakes have found their way into the recipes of chefs from Hawaii to Manhattan. They are made from the "tipico" variety of jalapeno prized in Mexico for its intense, rich, smoky flavor.
The Spanish word chipotle is a contraction of "chilpotle" in the Náhuatl language of the Aztecs, where "chili" referred to the hot pepper and "potle" was derived from "poctli" - meaning smoked.While in English, the word chipotle can actually be used to refer to any smoked chili pepper; they are most commonly jalapeños, named for the city of Jalapa in the state of Veracruz. Jalapeños have many other names in Mexico. In much of the country they are known as "cuaresmeños" or lenten chiles. In Puebla and Oaxaca, they are called "huachinangos" and in coastal Mexico and Veracruz they are also known as "chili gordos."

Guajillo, Chili Powder
The guajillo chili pronounced (gwah-HEE-yoh) is one of the most widely used chilies in Mexico. It is described as having a flavor reminiscent of green tea with berry overtones. Guajillo chilies have medium heat with a Scoville level of between 2,500 to 5,000 units. Typically used in salsa for tamales, guajillo chili powder is also used in Mexico for sauces, soups and stews. Interestingly, guajillo chilies are sometimes used to make Harissa, a hot chile paste mixture used in Tunisian cooking. If you enjoy heat - we recommend using guajillo chili powder as a condiment on beef and chicken. Its fruity flavor compliments both very nicely.
Habanero, Chili Powder
We recommended only those who like a great deal of heat try Silver Cloud's Habanero, Chili Powder (Capsicum chinense). This is very hot stuff and typically, 1/8 teaspoon is more than enough to add a great deal of heat to a dish of four to six servings.Most habanero peppers are between 200,000 and 300,000 Scoville heat units, which makes them among the hottest of all chilies. While extremely hot, this chili does have a fruity, citrus-like flavor. Its high heat has resulted in it being very popular in a wide range of applications, especially hot sauces....

Jalapeño Pepper Powder
Jalapeños are probably the most popular chili sold in the United States and can be found (both fresh and canned) in most supermarkets. It is much harder to find this chili ground. Jalapeño peppers have medium heat with a Scoville level of approximately 2,500 - 5,000 units and are typically sold green. The chilis turn red as they mature, but the red peppers are considered inferior. Jalapeños are primarily grown in Mexico and the United States. In Mexico they are also known as cuaresmeños, huachinangos and chili gordos.Our ground jalapeño with its medium heat is ideal for use in sauces and seasonings for meat, fish and poultry.
Marash or Maras Biberi Pepper Flakes
Marash Pepper, which is known as "Maras biberi" in Turkey is another great tasting chili from that country. This chili is traditionally mixed with olive oil, lemon juice and salt and used to season chicken, lamb, and goat dishes as well as vegetables. The marash flavored oil is also wonderful on pasta, rice or salad greens. ...

New Mexican, Chili Powder
Silver Cloud uses only the finest New Mexican chilies in our New Mexican Chili Powder. New Mexican chilies have a unique flavor and mild heat (500 to 1,000 Scoville units) that invoke the parched, but beautiful landscape in which these chilies grow. The New Mexican chili is actually an Anaheim chili and comes in two varieties, a red and a green. We offer chili powders made from both types. ...

Pasilla Negro, Chili Powder
In Mexico the names given many fresh chilies and their dried versions differ. These names can also change depending on what region of the country the chili is grown. This makes it sometimes difficult for the average American consumer to know what they are purchasing.The pasilla or pasilla negro chili in its fresh form is the chilaca chili. When dried, the long and narrow, dark green chilaca's hue becomes a blackish-brown color. It is typically ground and used for sauces. Our pasilla negro chili has a Scoville level of between 5,000 and 15,000 units and is considered medium-hot. The earthy flavor of this powder compliments chicken, duck, seafood, lamb, mushrooms, garlic, fennel, honey, oregano and fruit. There is also a pasilla oaxaca (pronounced -Wa'hock-kah) chili. This hard to find pasilla is much hotter than the pasilla negro.In the United States the ancho pepper, which in its fresh form is a poblano is often confused with pasilla. ...

Urfa or Urfa Biber Pepper Flakes
Urfa Pepper, which is also known as Isot Pepper is a chili grown in the Urfa region of Turkey. Sun dried during the day and wrapped and sweated at night, this chili has a wonderful smoky, raisin-like flavor reminiscent of dried fruits and tobacco. Urfa Pepper is hotter than Marash or Aleppo Pepper and is purplish-black as opposed to red in color. ...

Why Buy Your Spices at Silver Cloud
Why buy spices online when they are so readily available at your local store? The answer is quality and price. The spices sold at your local store are often a year or two old. As spices age, they loose much of their flavor. Silver Cloud's spices are always fresh, never old. Our products are also an excellent value. When you need spices, click on Silver Cloud Estates for the freshest products at great prices.

Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q in Decatur, Alabama
When Amy McLemore, great-granddaughter of Alabama barbecue legend Big Bob Gibson, looked at fellow University of North Alabama student Chris Lilly, she saw a husband. Her father saw a solution to a long-standing business problem. "My father-in-law hired me because he wanted to open a second location," says Chris, who'd never before minded a pit. He has since clinched the art of superlative 'cue—"It's just dry rub, patience, and sauce on the side," he says—and become a legend on the competition circuit. Unlike many professional pitmasters, Chris doesn't sneer at the prospect of smoking for prizes: He's won more than 10 World BBQ Championship titles, including three Memphis in May Grand Championships. Becoming a celebrity hasn't lured him out of Decatur: "My passion is in the pits," he says. "You'll still find me there, taking a turn." bigbobgibson.com

GARASCIA STUDIO is located in St. Clair Shores Michigan. U.S.A. I create mainly cast stone sculpture. I start with a drawing then I sculpt in clay, when the clay original is finished a rubber mold is created. When the rubber mold is fully cured a shell mold is made, this shell is important to hold the shape of the rubber. A special cement is used for the castings which all have a hanger on the back. After the casting is removed from the mold each piece is hand painted and a finish is applied.

PARIS, TX-- A meteorologist from the national weather service was in Paris Monday night talking to residents about the upcoming severe weather season.
Residents learned what signs to look for, how to get ready for severe weather and tips on how to stay safe during a storm. Meteorologist Mark Fox says with the storm season just around the corner residents have to be prepared for the unexpected.
"It's one thing to see a radar," said Fox. "It's another thing to put that radar information, in addition to a spotter who is looking at a storm and knows what to look for to get that warning out to everybody else and that's our job to help save lives. "

There's an industry gathering for everything these days: Cannes, CES, Social Media Week, and my new personal favorite, South by Southwest.
Although all tend to appeal to marketers, CES historically has been the most technology-driven, whereas SXSW has owned the culture and entertainment space (due to its three-pronged nature of Interactive, Film and Music). However, this year's festival seemed particularly focused on technology — virtual reality, mobile shopping apps, and beacons dominated sessions and conversations.[…] Continue Reading »

Comments about Genova® Raingo® Vinyl Gutter (RW100) - 10 Pack:
I installed Raingo vinyl gutters on my new construction home in 1987 and NEVER had a problem with the original asphalt shingles. In the fall of 2013 we installed a new metal roof. I had installed the gutters high on the facia so when the Indiana ice & snow slid off the roof, it took my gutters with them.
When the weather improves in a few weeks, I will make repairs by mostly just replacing the brackets and mounting them lower so any future melting ice will curl over the top. I am very pleased that after 26 years, we will still be able to get replacement parts for our system.
Great job Genova!

Matou, the first woman seated on the left in the photo, grows groundnuts. With her loan, she plans on buying farm inputs and seeds and paying the cost of labor to cultivate two hectares of land. After the harvest, the crop is sold in the village and in Fakola to men and women customers.
Matou hopes to earn 145,000 francs CFA per season. These earnings will allow her to pay back her loan and to also help her husband with the everyday expenses.
Elles collaborent avec l'institution de microfinance Soro Yiriwaso afin de mener à bien leurs activités agricoles pendant l'hivernage.
Elles sont à leur quatrième prêt avec l'institution, les prêts passés ont été bien remboursés.
La spéculation cultivée est l'arachide avec MATOU 1ère assise à gauche sur la photo.
Avec son prêt, elle compte acheter des intrants, la semence et payer les frais de labours pour exploiter 2hectares.
La production est vendue au niveau du village et FAKOLA après la récolte à une clientèle composée d'hommes et de femmes.
Elle compte réaliser un bénéfice de 145.500FCFA par campagne.

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.

Moving on down, cost across the company have continued to fall this quarter, coming from a variety of factors. Number one, better operating leverage and higher production volumes at all of the plants, most specifically Hawesville; two, better efficiencies at Hawesville; three, we have seen a reduction in the power rate at Mt. Holly despite the lack of movement at Hawesville. Again I'll speak about all these things in more detail in a few moments. And fourth, we've seen carbon costs start to fall across the system. Again I'll provide more detail.As you saw us announce in June, we made an acquisition of a carbon anode plant in Netherlands this quarter, obviously that's the supply, that key raw material for Nordural operations at Grundartangi today and Helguvik in the future. It's a good investment for us that comes at an attractive invested costs and it's going to produce a good IRR for us. I'll give you some more details here in a couple of slides.

Re: eye fi vs transcend wifi for android
Folks, many thanks for the comments. I've done a bit of research on the matter and I think it's a waste of time and money, 'cept for some rare ocassions, e.g. when you would want to send an image by email instantly and only have your smart phone around.
Even so, I guess that using a micro-SD with full size adapter on the camera and physically switching the card to the smartphone would be as good a solution and certainly much cheaper.
The only caveat here is the card speed. I haven't found a class 10 micro-SD yet.

Judge denies Champlins' requests for bail, adviser
D'Arsi and Mark Champlin, the Auburn couple charged with embezzling around a half million dollars from Mark's elderly mother, had several motions denied Wednesday related to D'Arsi's bail and Mark's status as his own representative.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge Stuart Hing ruled that D'Arsi's $655,000 bail would not be reduced because too much time had passed since the last motion to reduce bail, and she failed to show a change in circumstance to warrant reconsideration.
Hing also ruled that D'Arsi failed to show the money raised for her bail had not been obtained by felonious means.
The Champlins have pleaded not guilty to a total of 14 felony charges, with each of them facing six counts of grand theft of personal property totaling $430,000 and corresponding counts of theft from an elder or dependent. D'Arsi Champlin, 48, also faces additional charges of $130,000 in grand theft of personal property and receiving stolen property.
The Champlins' trial is slated to begin on April 15.
In September 2012, a judge granted the Alameda County District Attorney's request to place a hold on D'Arsi's release, determining there had been probable cause to believe funds to post bail would have been feloniously obtained.
The Champlins have been in custody at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin since their arrest by Placer County Sheriff's deputies in mid-September 2012.
In the motion filed by D'Arsi's attorney, Dan Roth, it said more than 20 people had contributed $52,400 for her bail – though the court calculated $53,900 – and $18,000 of it came from the sale of the diamond off her engagement ring Mark had given her before any of the alleged theft occurred.
Roth included copies of checks and credit card receipts for the contributions in the motion he filed. However, the court ruled there was no sworn testimony from the friends and family who pledged money explaining where the funds came from.
"Even if the court informally accepted defendant's evidence and found that defendant's friends and family had obtained the $52,000 through lawful means, defendant failed to provide evidence of the amount required by Frank S. Calabretta's Bail House Bonds," the ruling said.
In the opposition filed by Alameda County Deputy District Attorney Connie Campbell, she writes that the amount put forth by Champlin would have fallen $18,400 short of the required 10 percent premium listed on the bondsman's website.
That shortfall was compounded by the fact one man was withdrawing his $5,000 contribution and another woman was rescinding her $300 pledge, Campbell wrote.
The prosecution also seeks to have Champlin's ring frozen as an asset.
"During the preliminary hearing stage of the proceedings, the People put D'Arsi Champlin and her father (who was present in the court room) on notice that the People intended to ask the court for an order to freeze the ring as an asset that would be needed to pay restitution," Campbell wrote. "The People still intend to seek that order."
Mark Champlin, 61, filed recent motions that indicated he is unhappy with his status representing himself, a decision he said was made "under duress," and he sought to have a private attorney appointed to him by the court after he did not meet the public defender's requirements for representation.
Upon being denied, Champlin asked to have an advisory counsel appointed to help him obtain documents he had been having "extreme difficulty" getting to prepare his defense. Hing also denied this motion.
"However, if the defendant can state with more specificity what role (the adviser) will play in his defense, the court is willing to entertain equitable solutions to deal with the court's current concerns regarding the defendant's status as a pro per defendant," the ruling said. "The court has discretion on whether to grant the defendant's request for such an appointment, but is not required to."
The judge denied Mark Champlin's motion to have privileged, in-jail visits with Roth, but said that Roth could meet with him as a regular visitor, with those meetings subject to recording. However, that recording can be sealed as privileged information if the court determines it meets certain requirements.
Mark Champlin's bail is set at $830,000.

TODDLERS AND TIARAS MINI-SHOW CLOSEDJournal Entry: Wed Jan 9, 2013, 11:45 AM
CLOSED*** No new entries will be accepted.
Judging will be in process tomorrow. TODAY (3/1/13) will be a waiting period so that people can correct me if I disorganized anything. IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR ENTRY UNDER THE CLASS NAME IT WAS FOR, AND IT WAS POSTED BEFORE 3/1/13, PLEASE NOTE ME. SIMILARLY, IF YOUR ENTRY IS LISTED UNDER THE WRONG CLASS, PLEASE NOTE ME.
Okay I hate the show Toddlers & Tiaras- but I thought it would be a cute name for this show.
(It's so soon after my last show just ended, like literally minutes ;A; but I had this idea before I closed TCABE and now I really want to do it.)
Welcome to Top Creek Stables! You are cordially invited to take place in a mini-show revolving completely around showing off your favorite babies! The show will take place at Top Creek headquarters in Limerick, Ireland during mid-Winter/Springtime so you have been advised dress warmly. It's cold up here!
Starts: 01/09/13
Entries due by: 02/28/13
Results posted: 03/01/13
Show Type: Foals only. Mixed classes.
Restrictions: None.
This is a mini-show strictly for horses under one year of age, and will go on for the duration of roughly about a month and a half.
It will be judged on effort with about 10% RNG influence from bonuses and distractions.
- Tracing and referencing are allowed, but using linearts or copying/stealing/tracing another person's artwork is absolutely not. If you trace, please credit for the photo you used.
- Pre-registration is NOT required.
- Both natural and unnatural foals of all breeds are accepted. But they must be horses by species - I won't accept something that looks exactly like a griffin but the only thing separating it is a mane or something.
- No horses over the age of one year will be allowed to participate. This is a show for foals.
- A background is required, but it can range from extremely simple (for instance, just shapes or a flat hill) or extremely complex.
- You must draw the foal performing and not just standing there, unless it is the halter class.
- If your foal needs his/her dam nearby, you can picture them in cases like liberty or halter, but they cannot be in sight for things like the foal race or swim race. They may be distracting and/or cause accidental injury if the foal tries to go to them.
- You may enter as many classes as you'd like, but am individual foal may only have one entry in one class. You can draw your foals in the same picture if they are in the same class.
- Since this does include an RNG portion, and I may be entering my own foals, I would like someone else to judge those classes if someone wouldn't mind volunteering.
Based on -effort-:
Headshots: 2 points+
3/4 Partial body or full-body: 4-5 points+
Shading: 1 point+
Handler - 3/4 or fullbody: 5 points+

At what time does this end on the 28th?? I've got an entry done, just need to upload it and type a long winded story, but I'm sketchy on time. ^.^'
Is it alright if we have two youngsters in one picture?
I have 1 question, and it isn't mentioned in the rules, can the entry also serve as reference? I drew the filly as a ref a few months ago, but it has a background and a funny story behind it, and is done tonight, otherwise, I doubt I'll have anything to enter.
Woops... I had forgot about this o.o

Fiscal Year 2009 Recruiting Success
October 13, 2009
By OCPA
Fiscal Year 2009 Recruiting Success
What is it'
The Department of Defense (DOD) announced on Oct. 13, that in fiscal year 2009 (FY09) the Active Army achieved its fourth consecutive year of recruiting success and that the quality of Army recruits exceeded standards. The Active Army had 70,045 accessions, making 108 percent of its 65,000 goal. The Army National Guard had 56,071 accessions, making 100 percent of its 56,000 goal, and the Army Reserve had 36,189 accessions, making 105 percent of its 34,598 goal.
What has the Army done'
The tremendous work of recruiters, the "Army Strong" advertising campaign, and Soldiers telling their personal Army stories to prospective enlistees generated strong enlistment results for the Active Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard throughout FY09- the eighth year the nation has been at war.
In addition to achieving its FY09 recruiting mission for quantity of enlistees, the quality of Army recruits was strong. The Army measures recruits' quality by the percentage who have high school diplomas (or equivalent), the percentage who score average or above on the military aptitude test, and the percentage who score below average. The Army (and DOD) standard is 90 percent, 60 percent, and no more than 4 percent.
FY09 recruit quality results exceeded the DOD/Army standard in all three Army components:
Regular Army:
- Diploma 94.66 percent; Test score average or above 66.33 percent; Below average score 1.53 percent
Army Reserve:
- Diploma 97.02 percent; Test score average or above 63.19 percent; Below average score 1.33 percent
Army National Guard:
- Diploma 94.32 percent; Test score average or above 75.73 percent; Below average score 1.02 percent
Why is this important to the Army'
To sustain the world's greatest land power in an era of persistent conflict there's no mission more important to the nation's all-volunteer force than recruiting. It is a critical factor in assuring deploying units are at or near full strength. Recruiting also is crucial to addressing the Army's overarching challenge of being out of balance. A mission capable force is needed for contingencies other than the current conflicts and for types of missions other than irregular warfare.
What's the way ahead'
FY10 recruiting is starting strong. More than 30,000 people already are in the "entry pool" of enlistees slated to ship to basic training in the coming months. The recruiting effort will include addressing needs in specific occupational specialties, such as Special Forces, medical personnel, foreign language speakers, and electronic maintenance. There's also a need for officer candidates, especially for: ordnance, transportation, quartermaster, chemical, signal, air defense, adjutant general, field artillery, and engineer.

To hug in a powerful motion as seen in the tenacious d movie.
"It's time for a power hug."
by Jacobo2006 June 19, 2007
the most powerful thing in the known universe, it has the destructive ability to tear holes in the cosmos if preformed incorrectly and provides a feeling 1000 times greater then an orgasm when proformed correctly. origanally designed as a weapon of mass distruction by nazi leader adolf hitler, the powerhug proved much more dangerous then anything ever thought to have existed. recently 2 kfc inployees each possecing pure epicness (the particles that created god) reformed the powerhug into a modern day gesture of happiness/epicness and have passed the tecnique onto fellow believers.
dude i sold so much cock, lets powerhug that shit

"Guijiru, Ceara" Guajiru by andykeechy
Guajiru Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 0 photos
When I wanted advice as to where to travel to in North East Brazil I got the usual responses. Fortaleza, Cumbuco, Jericoacoara.
Having decided to find somewhere for myself I ended up in a fishing village called Guajiru. It is about 120KM from Fortaleza and a few KM short of Flexeiras. The beaches are fantastic, the weather is superb and the people are great. I have been to the other places mentioned and would come back to Guajiru every day of the week.
Be warned though this peaceful, tranquil place will not remain undiscovered for long. If you get the chance go.
I stayed at Rede Beach Resort which was fantastic in every way. Want a well chilled out retreat unspoiled by commercialism but with masses of Brazilian character - Guajiru!!!
- Pros:Relaxed, Beautiful, Ideallic
- Cons:No night clubs - maybe not a con!!!
- In a nutshell:Epitomises the beauty of Brazil!!!
