Watching the football game on tv
Watching the MBB exhibition live at Hilton
Both (I have a time machine)
I'm trying to decide what I want to do this Saturday- watch on tv as the football team limps through the end of another losing season, or watch live in person the first MBB game even though it's only an exhibition. What is everybody else doing?
-Watching the football game on tv
-Watching the MBB exhibition live at Hilton (recording the FB game to watch later)
-Both (I have a time machine)
Poll it up, Angie!
Going to a wedding of two Iowa State grads. Typing this is making my skin turn green.
I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.
and not even close.

I will be watching the game from Folsom Field. Can't wait for the warm reception I always receive from the Buff fans in Boulder...
BvK, you've got to quit making so much sense because I "must spread some rep around" before giving more to you.

Obviously watching the football game. I will browse the box score of the bball game but that's about it. When they start playing for keeps, I'll be there.

I feel your pain. It's been a few years since I've had to miss an FB game for a wedding, although that was a Seneca Wallace game against a cupcake so it sucked to miss. I already know I'm going to miss the Army game next year for a wedding, which I have to go back to Seattle for.

That's what I'm leaning towards too, but I hate the thought of missing a basketball game. I guess I can't even vote in my own poll yet because I have to think it over.
Football. I actually like MBB better than football, but I'm still in football season mode.
This might be our only chance for another win. Unless they have a QB that can throw it more than 5 feet. Then we might be screwed./

Pretty much the same feeling here. Although I wouldn't mind seeing an ISU team beat up on someone this weekend.

Like I have said before, whenever there is both a basketball and football game on, basketball gets my vote every time. I don't care if its an exhibition. I love college basketball a lot more than football. Unlike in football, if you lose a game in basketball you still have a shot to win it all.
Doing both-Tivo rules!!
What I DO like about the Exhibition game is that we get to see a mix of pretty much all the players.
Not sure how Mac is going to handle it this year, but last year I think they subbed in groups at predetermined times, regardless of game situation. I kind of liked watching different groups to see what we've got and what we don't.
Since we had the scrimmage, however, perhaps they'll handle it more like a game so that the starters can spend a considerable amount of time working together on the floor.
Either way, I look at this as an opening day where I can evaluate the talent on the court before we start playing for real.
I love MBB more than football and I'm starting to check out of the football season a little bit...
I don't drink the Kool-Aid, and I am done making excuses. Only keeping it real...
If it's 70 degrees, I'll be golfing
There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders. And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.

2011 Butler Volleyball
2011 Horizon League Volleyball Championship
#3 Butler (15-13) vs. #6 Green Bay (11-17)
Friday, Nov. 18, 2011 - 8 p.m. ET
Klotsche Center - Milwaukee, Wis.
Live Stats | Live Video | Tourney Bracket
The First Serve
The Butler volleyball team will attempt to defend last year's Horizon League tournament title when it travels to Milwaukee for the 2011 Horizon League Volleyball Championship this weekend. BU, the No. 3 seed, will open against No. 6 Green Bay Friday night at 8 p.m. ET.
The Bulldogs, who won last year's league tournament in Milwaukee, are perhaps the hottest team in the conference right now. Butler has won 10 of its last 11 and finished with an 11-5 mark in Horizon League play. Butler has won five straight dating back to a 3-0 loss to Milwaukee back on Oct. 22.
Butler will play Green Bay for the third time this season. The Bulldogs defeated the Phoenix twice this season, including a 3-2 win at Green Bay on Nov. 3. Green Bay is led by all-league players Brittany Groth and Abbey Gitter.
Butler also had two players named to the 14-player All-Horizon League list. Maureen Bamiro and Maggie Harbison, two of the league's best blockers, were honored. Earning all-newcomer team status were freshmen Brooke Ruffolo, Belle Obert and Kelly Kyle.
Should Butler get past No. 6 seed Green Bay, a potential match-up with No. 2 seed Cleveland State will be looming on Saturday afternoon. The Bulldogs and Vikings split their two meetings in the regular season, with the road team winning each time. BU and CSU met in Milwaukee during the league semifinal last season, with Butler winning in five sets.
The winner of this weekend's Horizon League Volleyball Championship will advance to the NCAA Tournament. No Horizon League team has won a first-round match in the national tournament.
TOURNEY TIME: Butler finished the league regular season as the No. 3 seed with an 11-5 record. The Bulldogs have a 4-5 record in the league tournament as the No. 3 seed, dating back to 1995. Butler has won league tourney titles in 1986, 1987, 1997 and 2010. BU has an all-time record of 28-21 in the league tournament, which was first played in 1986.
LAST YEAR'S TOURNEY: Butler captured the 2010 Horizon League Volleyball Championship, which was also played at Milwaukee. Butler, which was the No. 2 seed, edged Cleveland State in the semifinal to advance to the final against Valparaiso. BU made quick work of the Crusaders 3-0. Jessica Wolfe was named MVP of the tournament and Katie Daprile and Gina Vera were named all-tournament.
BU ALL-TIME vs. GREEN BAY: Butler is 30-8 all-time against the Phoenix, including two wins earlier this season. The Bulldogs have won eight of the last 10 against Green Bay, dating back to 2006.
BU vs. CSU: A potential semifinal match-up this weekend could be BU vs. CSU. The Bulldogs and Vikings have been equal in recent years, including a split this season. Butler is 25-13 all-time against Cleveland State and has won four of the last seven meetings. Butler defeated Cleveland State 3-2 in last year's semifinal.
HOT STREAK: In Butler's last 11 matches (a 10-1 stretch for BU), the Bulldogs are holding opponents to .134 hitting. During the stretch, Butler is averaging 3.20 block per set compared to 1.61 blocks for its opponents. Also, five different players are getting at least 1.00 blocks a set.
BEST BLOCKERS: Butler leads the Horizon League with 2.59 blocks per set, holding first over Milwaukee (2.41). In league play, the Bulldogs are averaging 3.00 blocks per set, nearly twice the total of their HL opponents (1.55).
PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Brooke Ruffolo has earned the league's defensive player of the week honor twice this season. Ruffolo averaged 5.43 digs in Butler's road wins at Cleveland State and Youngstown State. She was also player of the week on Sept. 12.
GET 'MO' BLOCKS: Maureen Bamiro, an All-Midwest Region player last year, has moved into fifth on BU's all-time list with 467 total blocks. She needs 22 more stops to catch Jill Spurgeon for fourth in school history.
AND 'MO' OFFENSE: Maureen Bamiro is leading the Dawgs and ranks 10th in the Horizon League with 2.80 kills per set. She is six kills away from 1,000 in her career.
GINA'S MOVING UP: Gina Vera is now fifth on Butler's all-time list with 3,548 assists, recently passing current assistant coach Dana Daprile's career total of 3,320. She is 446 assists short of fourth on Butler's assists list.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama and his family have flipped the switch for the 90th annual lighting of the National Christmas Tree.
Obama was joined at the ceremony by TV star Neil Patrick Harris, who hosted the ceremony. Performers included singers Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Ledisi, Jason Mraz, James Taylor and the band The Fray.
This year's giant blue spruce is new and was transplanted in October on the Ellipse, a park that lies between the White House and the National Mall.
The previous tree died from transplant shock after just a year. Before that, a tree that stood for more than 30 years was destroyed by winds in February 2011.

UPDATED 6.1.2012 by Julie Montanaro
Another member of the Marching 100 is now facing charges in the FAMU hazing scandal.
Fellow percussionists call him the President of Bus C and he's accused in a beating on the same bus on the same day that drum major Robert Champion was hazed to death.
voice of Requesta Harden:
'It was my turn. I was like ... I didn't want to do it." Requesta Harden told investigators.
"Who told you it was your turn to be crossed over?"
"Dante Martin."
"Dante told you directly , it's your turn?"
"Yeah. He just tapped my shoulder and told me to come to go to the back," Harden said.
Dante Martin is now facing misdemeanor hazing charges in the beating of Requesta Harden. Marching 100 members call it a "hot seat."
It happened on board Bus C as the drum section headed to the Florida Classic.
Harden says afterward she couldn't even perform at half time.
"I was about to strap up, put on my drum and I was feeling dizzy and woozy ... and next thing you know ... I just blanked out." she said.
Several band members told investigators that Martin is the president of Bus C and he is responsible for deciding who gets a hot seat, who crosses over and how long it will last.
"Who determines whether .. or how many times or whether you go through a hot seat that night?"
"I guess it would have to be the bus president," Kerian Cox said.
"Do you know who the bus president is currently?"
"I just said it was Dante Martin," Cox said.
Requesta Harden says it was Martin who spelled out the rules and he did it the very first time she set foot on Bus C. Walking away was not an option, she said.
"They wasn't going to let me off that bus... because that was one of the rules."
"Who told you that rule?"
"Dante Martin," she said.
Harden says she was expected to cross over the weekend of the Florida Classic, but after the first beating couldn't go through with it.
'I was about to go through, but I didn't do it because I was worried about my own health, " Harden said.
"Your own health?
"Uh, huh ... because of all the beatings," Harden said.
Harden opted to take a different bus back from the game. Only later did she learn that drum major Robert Champion died on board Bus C that night.
Martin is not charged in Robert Champion's death and a spokeswoman for the state attorney's office can't comment on whether he will be.
She says Martin was charged at the same time as 13 other Marching 100 members, but the documents weren't posted until this week.
[UPDATE] Tallahassee, Florida - June 1, 2012 - by Julie Montanaro
There may soon be another arrest in FAMU's hazing scandal. Documents released this week show arrest warrants have been issued for a Marching 100 member known as the "bus president."
Dante Martin was never charged in the hazing death of FAMU drum major Robert Champion, but he's now facing charges for hazing another young woman on the bus earlier that same day. The hazing victim says she was so badly beaten she couldn't perform in the band's half time show.
Records released by the Orange County State Attorney's office this week show 25-year-old Dante Martin, the so-called "president" of Bus C, faces a misdemeanor hazing charge related to the beating of fellow percussionist Requesta Harden. Harden says Martin tapped her on the shoulder the morning of the Classic and called her to the back of the bus for a ritual called the hot seat. She says was beaten and when she tried to put on her drum afterward she got dizzy and blacked out.
Harden refused to ride on Bus C on the way back to the hotel because she says she was scared. She learned later that night that drum major Robert Champion died in another hazing ritual on Bus C.
Eleven band members have been charged with felony hazing for Champion's death in November. Two others face misdemeanor charges. Right now, Martin is not facing charges in Champion's death.
Orlando, FL (AP) -- Another Florida A&M University band member faces a hazing charge, accused of organizing the beating of a female percussionist a few hours before drum major Robert Champion was beaten to death.
Records show 25-year-old Dante Martin -- the so-called "president" of the percussion section bus -- faces a misdemeanor hazing charge related to the beating of 21-year-old Requesta Harden.
Martin's charge was included in affidavits for arrest warrants released Wednesday by the State Attorney's Office in Orlando.
Eleven band members have been charged with felony hazing for Champion's death in November. Two others face misdemeanor charges.
Champion had opposed hazing. But he was also vying to be the band's top leader, and friends say he volunteered to be hazed in order to win respect from others.

By Mary Milliken and Nichola Groom
BEVERLY HILLS, California (Reuters) – Con-men caper "American Hustle" and space thriller "Gravity" led Oscar nominees on Thursday with 10 nominations each, including best picture, in the race for the world's top film prize.
Slavery drama "12 Years a Slave" received nine nominations, including in the best picture category, in a year crowded with high-quality films.
Those three films will be joined by six others in the best picture competition: "Captain Phillips," "Dallas Buyers Club," "Her," "Nebraska," "Philomena," and "The Wolf of Wall Street."
Members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences may nominate up to 10 films for best picture, but only chose nine this year. A notable exclusion was the Coen Brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis," which had won some top critics' awards.
The Somali piracy thriller "Captain Phillips," the AIDS activism tale "Dallas Buyers Club," and heartland comedy "Nebraska" each secured six nominations. Director Martin Scorsese's cautionary tale on financial greed, "The Wolf of Wall Street," followed with five, as did the quirky computer-age romance, "Her."
Eight individuals in the acting categories are first-time nominees, including Chiwetel Ejiofor as the free man sold into slavery in "12 Years a Slave." He will compete in the best actor race with Matthew McConaughey, the Golden Globe winner last Sunday for his role as the unlikely AIDS crusader in "Dallas Buyers Club."
Meryl Streep extended her lead as the most nominated performer with an 18th nomination, this year for best actress as the matriarch in "August: Osage County." She goes up against fellow Oscar winners Sandra Bullock as the astronaut lost in space in "Gravity" and Cate Blanchett as the riches-to-rags socialite in Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine."

He was the team's leading scorer, was named captain and was selected as the squad's Most Valuable Player in 1996-97, after earning the team's Mental Attitude Award in 1995-96. He posted four individual victories and 16 "Top 10" finishes in his short Butler career.
Prior to enrolling at Butler, Weaver was a two-year member of the golf team at Vincennes University. He was a team co-captain and the Trailblazers' leading scorer in 1993-94. He also served as a volunteer assistant golf coach and then volunteer head golf coach at Vincennes in 1994-95, while completing his degree.

MOUNDSVILLE - A subcontractor that worked on constructing the new Cameron High School has filed a civil lawsuit against the Marshall County Board of Education, alleging breach of contract and breach of warranty.
The 11-page document, filed Jan. 25 in Marshall County Circuit Court by Nello Construction of Canonsburg, Pa. and its subcontractor, Cost Co. of Pittsburgh, deals exclusively with the construction of Cameron High School. The construction of the new school was delayed several times for various reasons, finally opening more than a year behind schedule and a half-million dollars over budget.
The lawsuit outlines the relationship between Nello Construction, which served as the project's general contractor, and Cost, which was subcontracted to perform labor and furnish materials and equipment to be used to complete concrete, masonry, brick work, insulation and sheet metal at the building.
According to contracts entered into in May 2010, Nello was to be paid $15.9 million, while Cost was set to be paid $2.37 million. Cost's work was scheduled to be completed in 131 days, according to the complaint.
However, the lawsuit alleges "due to the conduct of Marshall (County Schools) and its agents," the work was significantly delayed and interfered with, causing the project to take longer than expected. In recognizing the delays, school officials requested Cost "accelerate" its work by adding more masons to the project, and an additional payment of $136,689.16 was made to Cost for work through Nov. 18, 2011.
According to the lawsuit, the project acceleration and use of more masons was agreed to with the provision the district would schedule and expedite the work of other contractors on the project. The lawsuit alleges, however, that the district did not properly address scheduling, preventing Cost and its workers from performing the tasks at hand.
According to the lawsuit, by the time Cost had completed its work in September 2012, the productivity and inefficiency damages had reached in excess of $1 million. A claim submitted to the district for those damages was denied on Dec. 26.
In outlining the breach of contract claim, the lawsuit states Marshall County Schools and its agents, among other things:
The lawsuit states that as a direct result of the district's breach, "work on the project become more difficult, and at times, physically impossible to complete and was inconveniently performed, materially delayed and/or accelerated."
Additionally, in outlining breach of warranty, the lawsuit states the project described in the bid, which Cost prepared for, was not complete or buildable in the time period required.
A jury trial is demanded, as is a judgment "in an amount in excess of the jurisdictional limit plus interest" and court costs. No official dollar figure is cited.
Attorneys acting on behalf of the Marshall County Schools filed paperwork Feb. 22, stating the district has "a bona fide" response to the claims outlined in the suit. On Friday, Marshall County Schools Superintendent Fred Renzella said the matter is being reviewed by district attorneys, and attorneys for both sides have been in contact.

A dean's list of superior students is compiled and published at the close of each semester. To be included in the Dean's List, a student must have a grade point average of at least 3.5 for a minimum of 12 credit hours earned in a fall or spring semester, or in a summer term. All students carrying Dean's List honors will have this accomplishment indicated on their University transcripts.
The President's List recognizes students who make the Dean's List with 4.0 grade point averages. The President's List is not a separate honor and it is not indicated on a student's University transcript.
Students' scholastic achievements may be further recognized by election to national scholastic honor societies.
At graduation, the Latin honors designations cum laude (3.5 GPA but less than 3.7 GPA), magna cum laude (3.7 GPA but less than 3.9 GPA), and summa cum laude (3.9 GPA or higher) distinguish students who have qualified in their academic divisions for these designations. Latin honors applies to the first undergraduate degree only.

text: Hello every one. Recently i was asked to build Zimbra 6.0.13 on the platforms that are not supported. I tried to build it on Mint, and i build that but i have some problems in installation. Actually this is not a problem for me but i have a question. Why Zimbra developers each time specify only a limited list for platforms that Zimbra can be build on them? This means that for example you can't build and install it on different Linux distributions? As i know this is theoretically possible to build it on different Linux distros.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) - Lance Lynn delivered what was easily his best outing of spring training and three relievers made a first-inning run stand up for the St. Louis Cardinals in a 1-0 victory over the Miami Marlins on Thursday.
Lynn allowed only two hits in six innings while striking out five. He retired the final 14 batters he faced.
Edward Mujica, Trevor Rosenthal and Mitchell Boggs combined to allow only one hit over the final three innings to seal the victory and ensure that the Cardinals (16-14), who have one Grapefruit League game remaining, will finish with a winning record.
Matt Holliday had an RBI single off Justin Nicolino for the game's only run.
Before the game, Miami president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said center fielder Gorkys Hernandez had not made the club and that reliever Wilson Valdez had been sent to Triple-A New Orleans.

Elton John and John Lennon once hid from pop art icon Andy Warhol in a New York hotel room because they feared he would expose them as cocaine fiends.
"The Rocket Man" became great friends with Lennon toward the end of the former Beatle's life and they spent a lot of time getting high, but there's one hotel party Elton can remember when the two rockers ignored a visiting Warhol.
He tells Rolling Stone, "I can remember being stoned out of our mind on coke at the Sherry-Netherland hotel, and at two in the morning, there would be a knock on the door… It took me five minutes to get to get the door because I was so paranoid, but it was Andy (expletive) Warhol.
"I said, 'It's Andy Warhol,' and he (Lennon) said, 'Don't (expletive) let him in! He'll have a camera and everything!' So we just waited for him to leave."

Just wondering who has been out to Oregon and hunted Roosevelt elk on public land and what you thought of it? Just wondering because you never see any hunting shows on tv about it.
Just wondering who has been out to Oregon and hunted Roosevelt elk on public land and what you thought of it? Just wondering because you never see any hunting shows on tv about it.
I've been archery hunting Roosevelt elk in the coast range every year since 1987.
We have a lot of good OTC opportunity but so far from my observations hunting Roosevelt elk is rarely easy. I would suggest you do it if you haven't as it is something to experience if you don't get too claustrophobic in the brush. I've read that Roosevelt elk are not as vocal as Rockies but I have very limited experience with Rockies. Roosies bugle and talk plenty but the brush probably drowns out most of it. In recent years I have been hearing less bugling due to increased pressure and call shy bulls but if you hit it on the right day they will scream at you for hours.
The second biggest challenge (next to the impenetrable at times brush!) is the wind patterns are very inconsistent and unforgiving for the hunter and very favorable for the elk.
There is a reason it is an OTC tag. The terrain limits the harvest enough to allow unlimited hunting for the most part. It can be fun and it can be down right ridiculous when you end up pushing thru walls of brush for hours on end if you get off the main elk trail. This happens a fair amount and you really better have a passion for elk hunting or a sense of humor or you will never do it again. I can't wait for September!

I have lived in western Oregon and have hunted it most seasons since 1983. In that time I have killed 3 bulls (5x5, 6x6 and 6x5) and a few cows. That comes down to a bull about every 9 years. One bull came off my ranch, one off of a special tag that took 12 preference points to draw and one was in general rifle season. As Joe said it is tough hunting. Far tougher than what most are used to further east. I do almost all of my serious elk hunting out of state.
With that said there are a lot of Roosevelts in some of the coastal units. I think the most fun and effective way to hunt them is with a bow. Next year due to commitments at home my wife and I are planning to give it a couple weeks on and off in one of the coastal Roosevelt units during bow season.

Le Mars Fire And Rescue Conduct Traing Session
(Le Mars) -- A car hits a train causing alarm to the community. Does that scenario sound somewhat familiar? With so many vehicle and train accidents within the community during the past few weeks and with the latest occurring in Hinton on Monday evening, the Le Mars Fire and Rescue Department conducted a rail car and vehicle accident training session held at the Well's Enterprises sugar receiving facility on Wednesday evening. Le Mars Fire chief, David Schipper says it was a good training exercise. In addition to the fire department, Wells' Enterprises and their employees, Union Pacific, Plymouth County Emergency Management, and the Le Mars Police Department all participated in the disaster drill. Schipper says because of the recent train and vehicle accidents, the training session was relevant.
Schipper offers an account of the procedures with the drill.
Listen to
Union Pacific Rail Company officials were participating in the drill and had a flat bed trailer
equipped with various valves to indicate to the fire officials what type of valves and levers would be found on a rail tanker car, depending upon what the tanker was hauling.
Listen to
The Le Mars Fire Chief says the training session was productive, but they did notice areas for improvement, especially with communications.

The recipient of Edgar, Anthony, and Macavity Awards, New York Times best-selling author C. J. Box has won almost every honor in his field. In Breaking Point, Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is glad to catch up with old friend Lyle Pendergast, but then the man goes missing and is named a suspect in the death of two EPA employees. All signs point to Lyle's guilt, but the more Joe digs into the case, the more he realizes he's stepped into the middle of a deadly power play.
©2013 C.J. Box (P)2013 Recorded Books
"Darn near a true story..."
Starting back in the mid 1980's, I was one of the few lawyers who was trying to defend rural landowners like the Roberson's, the endangered protagonists of "Breaking Point". When I say "trying", that's what I mean: As author Box suggests, these federal agents operate outside the Congressionally-enacted law, with unpublished rules and regulations, to the point that it's almost impossible to clear your clients in these cases. Besides, if you try to fight back, they just throw in more charges -- again, as Box suggests. The best you can do is to try to work out some plan that will let your client keep some portion of his land -- although by the time they get done defending themselves, most abandon the farm. Everything they valued has been destroyed. It got so bad that by the mid-1990's, I had to quit. I decided that if I had another sobbing farm wife sitting in my office, listening while I had to explain that there really wasn't much that could be done other than to work out a "deal", I'd go crazy myself. Like my clients, I too walked away. It just hurt too much.
A few things in "Breaking Point" are fiction: I never had a client kill, or even try to kill, a federal agent -- but I did have two who killed themselves. The trauma of having your farm -- in your family for over 100 years -- plowed, planted and harvested every year -- suddenly declared a "wetland" and therefore off limits, subject to horrendous penalties if "disturbed", is just too devastating. Can planted acres be a "wetland"? Indeed. Under federal law, a "wetland" is determined by soil type -- it has nothing to do with its being "wet". No self-respecting duck would ever look at this land, let alone land there. All that's required to constitute a "wetland" is a particular soil type -- merely that the land WOULD SUPPORT hydrophytic vegetation IF IT WERE wet, is enough. Kafkaesque, certainly, but entirely true.
There's more in this book than just the trauma faced by the Roberson family -- the range fire at the end, the tense escape, is one of the best white-knuckle scenes in history. Box is so good that you can picture the whole thing, feel the heat.
As far as I know, C. J. Box is only one of two popular authors who dares to make federal agents the 'bad guys' in some of his books -- P. T. Deutermann being the other. And why not? It's not just pharmaceutical company owners, businessmen, religious leaders and Republicans who do bad things, as virtually every other contemporary author would have you believe. Sometimes there are rogue federal agents, too.
Very refreshing!
"My favorite author does it again!!"
I just can't get enough of C J Box's writing! I've often said that a good book for me, is one with a great story line, or one with great writing, Box's books are always the best of both! Each successive Joe Picket, Wyoming Fish and Game Warden, novel just gets better and better. Characterization, descriptions, conflicts between good and evil, and the pull between legal justice and moral justice are enhanced by stories that connect to headlines of the day. Box mixes each mystery, with a continuing family story, and a fictional accounting of non-fiction reality.
When one of Joe's friends is accused of murder, Joe becomes involved in ways that he'd never imagined. Lyle, and his wife, have finally gotten a piece of land on which to build their own home. Permits in hand, Lyle begins grading the land when EPA employees come and demand that he return the land to exactly as he's found it previously. The fine for not doing so will be $70,000 a day. And why is this happening? Lyle is told it's because his land has been declaimed 'protected wetlands'. With no water at all on his land, he questions this declaration. But no one at the EPA has any paperwork , nor are they answering his repeated phone calls. So this story begins, and ends in disaster when two EPA agents are murdered, and an all out man hunt is begun by the EPA to "kill the murderer."
This case is based on a real case in North Dakota, that bends credulity. There are other actions , also based on "truth" that just may blow your mind. Joe is caught up in the manhunt, as determined by the Governor, but the more and more that things progress, Joe begins to realize that there is something more that just doesn't make sense. An edge of your seat story keeps the suspense until the very last page!! I think I love you C J Box!!!! Never stop telling stories in books!!
"Tree-Huggers Beware"
There runs in this book an undercurrent of anti-government sentiment. If you are neutral or conservative leaning, you will probably enjoy this book. But if you are a tree-hugging liberal, you will likely hate it. I found it to be a good listen that held my attention at all times. I feel there are too many reviewers handing out 4 and 5 star ratings, so a good listen gets three stars in my reviews. It doesn't meet the fantastic four star rating, but its good.
Suzanne, avid reader and listener who loves a broad range of genres but, ecpecially authors,T.C. Boyle, Jodi Picoult, Barbara Kingsolver, Lionel Shriver, Sue Miller, Larry McMurty, Bryce Courteran, Lisa Gardner, Brian Haig, Richard North Patterson, Nelson Demille, Robert Tannenbaum, Sara Gruen, Kate Norton, Steig Larsen, Tana French and Gillian Flynn!! Still many more and the number of authors I enjoy continues to grow.
"Breaking News, Watch out of for the EPA!"
I have become a little weary of C J Box's constant vilification of government agencies. I am always willing and interested in hearing another point of view but, I don't need to be beat over the head with the same theme again and again! Joe Picket, the last man and only man willing to take a stand.
I have enjoyed several books by C J Box, but, have likely reached my own breaking point. .
His writing style is perfectly adequate but, the story lines are too repetitive. Is Joe fired or does he resign from his job in every book?
Also, I read several books in their proper sequence and yet, some facts were missing and not consistent. The most troubling discrepancies concern April.
I had to go forward several books to find out what happened to April, and in this book there is no reference to her ( should be ) very recent past.
The same can be said of his wife's mother, who reverts to being a garden variety mother in law, even after her character has murdered her latest husband ( who is alive again in this book ) and plotted against Joe. I am paying attention here and the characters and story lines are not tracking.
In this book, Joe's character, had no meaningful involvement and with his wife and children: they are dealt with in a just a peripheral way. They serve only as threads to connect the " real story " of Joe, against the world.
In my opinion, Box is at his best when, Joe Picket he is dealing with both external and internal challenges. This is the third book of his, which, hasn't quite done it for me.
So, I must say, so long, Joe, thanks for the good times and best of luck in all your future endeavors!
"Solid as ever"
C.J. Box has yet to write a bad book, and the Joe Picket series continues on as a solid literary effort. C.J. has a great way of working current rural issues into his stories, as a person who lives in the rural west I appreciate that perspective. The stories and persona of Joe Picket make one feel as if they are a friend of the family, and if you have been reading the series from the beginning (highly recommended) you have seen the kids grow up and have been with the family through some tough times and some great times, and it builds a chemistry between reader and character that few authors are able to create. Joe is still the hard working game warden of twelve sleep county, still the unshakable straight arrow and still able to walk through fire to do the right thing. There are some real events in this issue that will change things for the next in the series, many of the previous players were back in form with their roles fresh and anew. There is a lot of excitement, a well thought out surprise ending and a good cameo or two from previous favorite characters.
As with the rest of the series, highly recommended.
"Lame diatribe"
I have loved almost every book in this series, so I am really irritated and disappointment in this one. It is at heart just a cliched, conservative, anti-Federal Employee screed. He portrays them all as quasi-Nazis (I'm just doing my job, and don't care what that is or who it hurts) or contemptible morons, and he displays serious ignorance in his characterization of their work to pay ratio, job-security, etc. Normally Box writes 3-dimensional characters, but in Breaking Point not so much.
Reading allows me to travel through time, to visit the world's unique and stunning places, to become somebody I am not... It is glorious.
"Joe vs World; no Nate, no MaryBeth"
I like the plot. However, once again Joe is the lone ranger -- only minor peripheral help from Mary Beth and an absent Nate. Joe has to fight the evil EPA and FBI alone. Characters become Caricatures when they are the lone "good guy" and show no vulnerability. In this installment Pickett is the only one who can negotiate a raging river and a canyon that nobody else survives. He is the only one who can get through a raging forest fire. He is the only one who can figure out why a rogue agent goes after a local family. He is the only one who can guide the DA to a conviction. Just Joe. All alone. Joe against the world and Joe wins again. It is boring and Joe is no longer believable or interesting.
No matter where you go, there you are.
"Good Writing, Morally Ambiguous Ending"
With friend/fugitive Nate sidelined for nearly the entire story, Joe had to grin and bear it through this interesting tale of corruption in an US Government Agency, murder, and persecution setting the scene for a manhunt that includes even Joe's archenemy, the ex-sherriff.
Joe is pushed to his seemingly bottomless limit of patience, but preservers against tremendous, some might say 'overdone', odds to emerge unemployed but victorious. Box writes cluttered novels that stretch plausibility, but entertain very well.
I often feel like I am running out of quality authors in the mystery genre, but Box has made the cut as I near the end of this series quite satisfied.
note: Publisher's Note is full of discrepancies and errors. Don't they proof-read their own stuff? Seriously embarrassing!

"Joe Pickett Rides Again"
Another good Joe Pickett adventure. We have read all the books in this series and felt like this one quit a chapter or two too early, with many loose ends for the next book to resolve. Anyone reading this book would certainly be left wondering what happened to key players. This book ends like a "soap opera". However, the reader was excellent! and I will be waiting for the continuing saga.
"A tract, not a story."
No. What a missed opportunity!
If only this book sought to reveal a situation in which a family breaks under the pressure of bureaucracy, it would illuminate the potential for abuse in our system. Instead, it attempts to generalize, portraying federal Government employees as rich, ruthless opportunists as a rule. Instead of making a profound point, the story is just plain silly. The EPA is roundly depicted as EEEEVVVVILLLL...their mustaches twirling so fast they could create a windstorm (for which they would penalize hard-working honest Americans).
This book might have made a worthy political point. Instead it grinds its axe to t sawdust and its' commentary to parody. It's caricatures are so heightened it occasionally felt more like a Jon Stewart riff than like the critique it's attempting to be.
I love buying books on the basis of customer reviews. It's fun to dive in on the basis of fans. Only occasionally does this lead to a ratings skew from true believers. I believe all avid readers have experienced this, regardless of their leanings. It's difficult to distinguish story from polemic based on the book description.
Each time, it's a bummer. Isn't there a way to declare this sub genre for what it is instead of allowing consumers to believe it represents the genre it claims to be?
see above.
The women lisp.
I liked it at first. I love characters who are set in their ways, who have beef with one thing or another... that makes for great storytelling. When it's about the character. Not so, here.
Here, the protagonist is a game warden who bridges several (potentially terrifically interesting) gaps: public service and law enforcement,a state employee who is suspicious of government institutions.
What a tremendous premise! If only the character were to embody those leanings as a function of character and it hadn't become clear that the author was the one with a bias... character be damned. Ultimately, story recedes to mere rant.
Well...take this as an endorsement or a caution, depending:
The antagonist is an EPA agent enraged at not having his solar panels approved by his home owner's association (I'm not kidding)takes his vengeance by destroying the lives of hard-working Americans who are just trying to do the right thing. Government (vs state) employees are depicted as being unilaterally wealthy, vengeful, shiftless and cruel. Vigilante behavior (though understandable in the context of the story, which is the point) is depicted as a brave commitment to principle.
Did I mention the villain is also a white guy named John Owen Pate who, upon his mother's remarriage, took advantage of her new husband's "more exotic" surname and changed his name to Juan Julio Batista - to "take advantage of policies to promote people of color."
Yep. The fact that this is represented as commentary on those policies and not on the jerk taking false advantage of them...is absurdly clear.
Ick. Not a narrative, a rant. The author lost control of his emotion and thereby his story.

This week's Porkopolis column looks at the Internet critics questioning the military service of State Rep. Connie Pillich (D-Montgomery), a U.S. Air Force veteran.
Some conservative bloggers have wondered whether Pillich earned the ribbons and medals that she wears at some campaign appearances.
The National Organization for Women's Cincinnati chapter is backing the local Democratic Party chairman's request for an investigation into remarks allegedly made against State Rep. Denise Driehaus (D-Price Hill) by her Republican opponent.
Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman Tim Burke has said GOP candidate Mike Robison has campaigned on Cincinnati's West Side by stating that Driehaus asked the Board of Elections to change her name on the ballot to that of her husband's, but was denied. In reality, Driehaus -- sister of Congressman Steve Driehaus -- never made such a request. Knowingly disseminating false information against a candidate violates Ohio election laws, Burke said.
Forget what Lou Dobbs, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and U.S. Sen. John McCain are saying about the dangers coming into this nation from Mexico. A recent study suggests it's Mexicans who should be irate about the United States.
Police reports have already shown that crime is actually down in many towns along the U.S.-Mexico border, despite the fear-mongering tactics used by politicians who want to crack down on illegal immigration. And even Brewer was forced to admit earlier this month that no decapitated bodies have been found by U.S. law enforcement personnel, as she previously claimed.
Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman Tim Burke is asking for a special meeting of the county's Board of Elections to investigate what he says are false claims made by Steve Chabot and Mike Robison.
Chabot and Robison allegedly have told people that State Rep. Denise Driehaus (D-31st District) has contacted the Board of Elections about switiching her name on the fall ballot from Driehaus to her married surname. The implication is that she is trying to distance herself from her brother, Congressman Steve Driehaus (D-Price Hill), who is in a heated campaign against Chabot.
Perhaps hoping to woo a few Tea Party voters, many households in Ohio's 1st Congressional District received a letter from U.S. Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-Price Hill) this week, providing an update on the U.S. Census.
The letter, on Driehaus' official Congressional stationery, notes that the 2010 Census effort was completed under budget and had a 72 percent national participation rate, the same as the 2000 Decennial Census.
In the words of Public Enemy, "Don't believe the hype."
Dan LaBotz, the socialist candidate for U.S. senator on Ohio's fall ballot, is criticizing the Obama administration's claims that the combat mission in Iraq is over.
LaBotz, who opposes both the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, says President Obama is using a shell game to funnel additional troops into Afghanistan while relying more heavily on private security forces — or "mercenaries," as LaBotz calls them — to continue fighting in Iraq.
Amid increasing right-wing bellowing about illegal immigrants, Ohio's top elections official is defending the practice of providing bilingual ballots.
Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner has released a video, "Bilingual Ballots: A Human Perspective," that interviews people of Puerto Rican descent in Cuyahoga County.
If they're good enough to qualify as a minor political party in Ohio, then they're good enough to be included in the gubernatorial debate.
That's the philosophy of Ohio Green Party leaders and the decision to exclude its gubernatorial candidate, Dennis Spisak, from a debate between Democratic incumbent Ted Strickland and Republican challenger John Kasich.
In a turnabout from a campaign pledge, Republican senatorial candidate Rand Paul is getting help raising campaign money by GOP senators who voted for the 2008 Wall Street bailout.
According to an Associated Press report, Paul is holding a fundraiser Thursday night in Washington, D.C. Although Paul earlier had said he wouldn't seek money from any politician who voted for the $700 billion bailout, nine of the 12 senators listed on the event's host committee were bailout supporters.
As Bernadette Watson decides whether to run for Cincinnati City Council again in 2011, she's keeping busy by helping a former council member get elected to state office.
Watson has been named as campaign manager for Alicia Reece, a Democrat who is seeking to keep the Ohio House 33rd District seat. Reece, an ex-Cincinnati vice mayor, was appointed to the seat in March to replace Tyrone Yates. Yates, who was facing term limits, was appointed to a municipal judgeship.

text: Hello guys and gals, I have been a Eastmans subscriber for a couple years now but brand new to the forum. I am from Louisiana and been dreaming of making a trip west for as long as I can remember. Only big game I have ever hunted is whitetail here in LA for about 20 years and a trip each of the past 2 seasons to IL. I realize I have an awful lot to learn about hunting public land out west. I have been buying PP's and BP's in a few different states for several species, the last 2 years. Hopefully looking at my first hunt being a CO 2nd season mule deer in GMU 78 next Oct. I have a couple buddies that are planning to come with me and buy elk tags OTC. We would like to use the truck as a base camp and backpack in a few miles(probably 3 or 4 not too far since this will be our first run) and hunt from a spike camp for a few days then head back to base camp for a day to restock on food. Then head back out for the last few days of the season. I have not talked to a biologist or any GWs in the area yet but I have been studying maps and google earth to pick a few spots. Since I have zero experience with a DIY backpack hunt in the mountains, I based my gear list off of Guy's that was in a issue of EHJ. I have good boots that are being broke in now. I am in decent shape now and understand conditioning and training so will be in good shape come Oct. I guess my biggest concern to this point is altitude. Base camp will be around 8K and will be hunting around 10K. Will being in good physical condition take care of any chance of altitude sickness or will I still need to take it slow and drink plenty water? Will I being hunting too high for late Oct. or will the year, weather, hunting pressure, etc. decide that? Not one to just jump on bored and start asking for help but I really don't have anyone locally to ask questions. Any tips or comments on something I may not have thought about would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

If you like supernatural horror stories, you're in luck because there are finally books about the undead for kids! Whether you like the all-out fright of kids being chased by rotting zombies or more of a kid-zombie-fighter story, check out the books below.
Dead City by James Ponti - Molly goes to a special science school in New York City and spends her free time hanging out in the city morgue (her mom used to work there), but she still isn't prepared for the information that zombies exist...and that she is a perfect candidate for a secret zombie-protection organization called Omega. As she hones her zombie-fighting skills, she learns more about the history of the undead (they don't like to be called zombies) in New York City and discovers her family's secret connection to Omega. A fun, modern take on zombies that's full of action.
Gravediggers: Mountain of Bones by Christopher Krovatin - The sixth grade is on a camping trip, but for Ian it's a chance to find the bodies of the dance troupe who supposedly disappeared in the area. When Ian leaves the group, his quiet friend PJ and the class brain, Kendra, follow him and are pulled deeper and deeper into the woods, even as they try to find their way back to their classmates. The trio finds refuge in an abandoned cabin, and a journal left by one of the missing dancers, a clue that seems irrelevant once a horde of zombies stumbles out of the woods--straight toward their cabin. A satisfying choice for horror movie fans.

I need to change zimlet tree content of overview area of each application.
But application content is rendered on the application launch.
Thus I have to postpone my modification until each application launch.
I know there are appLaunch and appActive methods, but they are called on my application lauch/activation only.
How do I catch other applications activation events?

To paraphrase a famous bird, "I'm coocoo for Davis Cup!"
Sorry, I'm getting a little ahead of myself. Welcome back to VANtage Point (or just welcome if you haven't seen this before). Before I start talking about my favorite time of the year, there were some pretty solid performances last week to acknowledge, particularly down in Mexico.
A Look Back: Hard, clay, nails, whatever. I guess it wouldn't matter what surface you put Venus Williams on the way she's playing right now. She picked up her second title in two weeks at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco over the weekend, beating my pick Flavia Pennetta. As for the men there, my runner-up pick, Nicolas Almagro, defended his crown and took out Gael Monfils.
This Week's Spotlight: Davis Cup - need I say more? Well, that's what I get paid the big bucks for (yeah, right)...to say more! For all the longtime tennis players out there, remember when you were a kid and thinking you'd want to go pro? And how cool it would be to win Grand Slams? My dream was always to be on the Davis Cup team. What can I say? I guess I'm just a patriotic cornball! Anyway, 2009 action kicks off this weekend and the World Group has some great ties going on with defending champ Spain vs. Serbia, the U.S. vs. Switzerland (sans Roger Federer) and the Czech Republic vs. France, among them. I can't go into great detail here about every tie, but I'll definitely be following them all!
Players to Watch: Tell you what I'll do. I'll give you a PTW for each tie, how about that?
- Argentina vs. Netherlands: David Nalbandian. Rough loss in Acapulco; how's he playing?And the Winners Are: Here's my tie winners and the scores: Argentina, 5-0; Czech Republic: 3-2; U.S., 4-1; Croatia, 3-2; Israel, 3-2; Russia, 4-1; Austria, 3-2; and Spain, 3-2.
- Czech Republic vs. France: Tomas Berdych. The Czechs are hosting, but that French team is ferocious. Radek Stepanek's been playing lights out; can he get backup from the Berd Man?
- U.S. vs. Switzerland: James Blake. He can't go out there and lay an egg against Stanislas Wawrinka when they play.
- Croatia vs. Chile: Nicolas Massu. The former Olympic gold medalist has to snap out of his funk for Chile to have a chance.
- Sweden vs. Israel: Harel Levy. Israel can pull off an upset here as that Swedish lineup is lame beyond lame, but the Israeli veteran has to come through.
- Romania vs. Russia: Marat Safin. What can you say about him that hasn't been said?
- Germany vs. Austria: Jurgen Melzer. If he plays up to his ability, Austria can pull off the upset.
- Spain vs. Serbia: Rafael Nadal. How's he feeling?

I posted this on gamedev.stackexchange.com earlier
, but I didn't get any answers... and only a few views.
EDIT: I've got two answers there (as of now), and I'm investigating them now.
How can I find out the distance traveled by a Bézier Curve? For example, the distance traveled by a Linear Bézier Curve is:
$distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_0)^2 + (y_1 - y_0)^2}$
But what of a Quadratic, Cubic, Nth-Degree Bézier Curve?
My goal is to figure out the "resolution" ($resolution = 1-t$) beforehand, so I don't have to waste time checking if the next point is touching the previous point.
From here:
$$\mathbf{B}(t) = \sum_{i=0}^n {n\choose i}(1-t)^{n-i}t^i\mathbf{P}_i$$

In the movie Avengers, Hawkeye seems like a filler character. He isn't in any of the previous movies, and there's no story about him at all. Does he just have super vision? Does he have a back story about it?
Hawkeye, like Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, is a human, except he is a lot more skilled than most. He doesn't have super powers like Captain America, Thor, or Hulk, but he is a master assassin.
He does make a cameo in Thor uncredited as Clint Barton, which I think you can say is a precursor before his role in Avengers, though he didn't have as important a role that Black Wdow's character had in Iron Man 2
In case you might be curious about his skillset you will find this excerpt from wikipedia enlightening:
In the comic Ultimate Comics Hawkeye #2 there is a spot where it mentions he has higher than normal rod cells. Normal person has hundered and fifty million rod cells and hawkeye has closer to 4 hundred million. Also the muscle around his eye allow for orb distortion giving him the ability to change focal length. This could be argued as a mutation similar to those in X-Men. Which would make him a superhuman/superhero and not just a normal human.
Hawkeye is far from a filler character. He's been in every Avengers lineup in every continuity (Comics, Animated, Movie ... etc). Movie-wise, this isn't his first appearance either. He first appears in the Thor movie (the same way Black Widow appears first in Iron Man 2).
Like Black Widow, he doesn't have any super human powers and his past is shrouded in mystery (at least in the movies universe). Although one can argue that his skill with the bow and arrow is super-natural.
Hawkeye does have superhuman vision in his Ultimate Universe story line. As a result of a super soldier program, he gained enhanced vision and some other perks. However he doesn't have the same in the other Marvel universes/versions. The MCU borrows heavily from the Ultimate universe version.

"The Ultimate Fighter 12" veteran Alex Caceres set himself apart from other contestants with a big mouth and a sendup to Bruce Lee.
But as his octagon career moves on, he's trying to find the real him.
"The more I'm growing into myself, the more I have to separate myself from that successful image," Caceres told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I can't rely on his successful image to explain myself. I have to dig deep and search within myself to find who I really am."
Caceres (6-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC), who on Wednesday fights Damacio Page (15-7 MMA, 0-2 UFC) at "UFC on FUEL TV 4: Munoz vs. Weidman," said he's not abandoning the nickname that won him so much attention, positive and negative.
"I don't regret that character at all," he said. "It was a name that was given to me. It's a name that people can relate to me, and something I can relate to, as well.
"Back then, I tried to be more like [Lee]. But as of now, I'm trying to be more like me, which, in turn, is being more like him because that's what he tried to preach: be more like yourself."
Caceres vs. Page streams on Facebook as part of UFC on FUEL TV 4's preliminary card, which precedes main-card bouts on FUEL TV.
It might sound like Caceres is having an identity crisis, but he said his new outlook is merely a product of an active mind that's been studying the different sides of the fight game: physical, mental and spiritual.
"I think it all ties together," he said. "They're very much more intertwined than we think. We shouldn't separate the spirituality and the physical-ness of this art and sport. I've just been dabbling into things trying to expand my mind as much as my body."
If change were to come at any time in his career, now might be best. At 1-3 inside the octagon, Caceres, who lost in the quarterfinals of "TUF 12," is dangerously close to a pink slip. Although he was winning his most recent fight, a meeting with Edwin Figueroa at UFC 143, he was deducted two points for groin strikes and lost by split decision.
Caceres believes he got the short end of the stick from referee Herb Dean, but said he's moved on from the setback.
"I have to get over with it because I can't turn it over," he said. "It's what they thought was correct. I did feel like I was done wrong. I felt like I won the fight completely; the guy really only hit me one time during the entire fight. I felt like even with the point deductions, it was impossible for me to lose. But it happens, so I'll just push forward."
Caceres showed marked maturity in his prior outing against Cole Escovedo, drawing strong praise for a unanimous decision at UFC on FOX. But another loss could be his last inside the octagon.
Page, Caceres said, is a bigger name and more experienced fighter, so it's not like he took a step down in competition following his loss. If anything, it's an opportunity to climb even higher on the bantamweight ladder.
That's pretty good if you're trying to reinvent yourself.
"I'm going to try and hit the guy as much as possible, score as many points as I can, and if it's in my power, not let him touch me," Caceres said.
For the latest on UFC on FUEL TV 4, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.


text: Ever since'Dirty'Den Watts battered down a door in the opening seconds of the FIRST episode in 1985, EastEnders has been renowned as the grittiest of the British soaps. The BAFTA award-winning soap centres on the residents of Albert Square in the fictional east London borough of Walford. Whether they're throwing down pints in the Queen Vic or slagging each other off at the market stalls, EastEnders has always entertained audiences with memorable characters and dramatic storylines. Loveable rogues like Alfie Moon, the eternal loser Arthur Fowler, bad boys Grant and Phil Mitchell, psychopathic murderer Steve Owen, and gutsy matriarchs Peggy Mitchell, Pat Butcher and Mo Harris have become cultural icons. Such is the power of the show that actors like Ross Kemp, Letitia Dean, Martine McCutcheon have gone onto become household names. EastEnders is unflinching when it tackles tough issues, whether Sonya Jackson's adoption, rape (Kathy Beale), drug abuse (Nick Cotton) or mental illness (Arthur's breakdown). It was the first soap to feature gay characters in 1986 and the death of AIDS victim Mark Fowler broke new ground for soap storylines. These days you're more likely to see Roxy and Ronnie Mitchell bickering behind the bar or'tart with a heart'Stacey Slater causing trouble in the square, alongside old favourites Dot Branning (nee Cotton) and Ian Beale. Although the families may change, EastEnders continues to push the boundaries and deliver some of the most vivid, original and grimly realistic stories on TV.

Storm reports are coming into the WITN Newsroom as the storms move across Eastern Carolina.
An elderly woman was injured when high winds damaged her Duplin County home.
It happened around 2:00 p.m. on Kitt Noecker Road, southwest of Pink Hill. First responders say a metal carport was blown off a home, and the debris hit a van. A 16-year-old boy in the van was not hurt.
The debris continued on and struck a double-wide trailer, ending up on the roof of the home. An elderly couple was inside at the time. When the debris hit, the force knocked over a armoire inside, striking the woman. She was not severely injured, but taken to the hospital as a precaution.
In Jones County, a 140 foot barn was blown across Shivar Lane outside of Comfort. Also, on Ralph Barnes Road a tobacco building was blown off its foundation.
Quarter to golf ball sized hail has been reported in Duplin County, just east of Beulaville. Quarter-sized hail was also reported in Beulaville.
Amanda Edwards lives on Highway 24 and says the storm came through around 3:00 p.m. and covered their front and back yard with hail. She said the hail lasted for about 10 minutes.
Quarter-sized hail was reported northwest of Richlands.
A report indicates a child was hit by lightning in Craven County.
A house was reported to be hit by lightning in Pamlico County.
We hope you'll share your storm reports by commenting on this story. Please submit your weather pictures to WITN's Carolina Camera.

Women can now order the morning-after pill online and have it personally delivered to their homes (or direct to their desk) by courier.
The new speedy 'morning-after pill on wheels', offered by online medical practice DrEd, has launched in London and means women no longer have to head to the pharmacist, or consult their GP, before taking the pill.
The £20 service involves filling out a quick online form that is assessed by an online doctor and the prescription delivered by courier – in as little as two hours.
The most common morning-after pill, Levonelle®, is a drug that can only be obtained through a chemist or a GP up to 72 hours after having unprotected sex, and costs around £25.
Levonelle® is a type of emergency contraception designed to prevent pregnancy becoming established by stopping an egg being released from the ovary or sperm from fertilising an egg that has already been released.
However, critics have warned that the 'bulk-buy' notion of this service could encourage unprotected sex, as the website indicates that he courier service is designed for those wanting to 'stock up' on the pills.
"If you want to have a supply of the morning-after pill to hand in case you need emergency contraception, you can buy it online," states the DrEd website.
Norman Wells, from the Family Education Trust, believes the service could also encourage underage girls to take the morning-after pill.
"Young people have been lulled into a false sense of security, take a more casual attitude to sex and become exposed to an increased risk of sexually transmitted infections," Wells told HuffPost Lifestyle.
"There is also a danger that the service could be used by the abusers of underage girls. The faceless nature of the service makes it all too easy for them to register on the site giving a false name and medical history and then to order the morning-after pill on behalf of their victim in an attempt to conceal their crime."
Defending the 'contraception-by-courier' service, Amit Khutti, founder of DrEd, told the Evening Standard: "I don't think this service is going to appeal to miors or encourage underage sex. For a start, you need to pay for the service and if you're young, there are already a number of places you can go to get the pill for free."
Talking about the practicalities of the service, delivered by the Shutl courier service, Khutti claims the service is a positive thing.
"Emergency contraception works better the sooner you take it, so having it delivered within two hours will make it more likely to be effective. It's not ethical to provide a service that arrives too late. It will arrive at the office in discreet packaging so women won't be embarrassed."
There have been mixed reactions about the new service, as Rebecca Findley from the Family Planning Association (FPA) told HuffPost Lifestyle: "You're up against the clock with emergency contraception, the sooner you take it the better and women who can afford to pay for this service will find it very useful."
However, fertility expert Emma Cannon warns: "The morning-after pill has a place but I worry about its habitual use. Any service that makes it easier to get hold of potentially leads to over-use.
"Working with infertility I see women with infertility problems caused by exposure to STDs. I think we need to take care of our sexual health early on in our life to preserve our fertility for when we wish to have children; and that means using barrier methods of contraception," Emma told HuffPost Lifestyle.
Adding to this, Norman Wells said: "Although the morning-after pill is frequently marketed as a contraceptive, we should not lose sight of the fact that it is taken with the intention of preventing the implantation of a fertilised egg after conception has taken place. This raises obvious ethical issues that women are often not made aware of."
The British Pregnancy Advisory Service already offers an online service that allows women to request emergency contraception. However, women need to speak to a nurse over the phone before it is delivered.

Immediate workaround is to create the "turnOffInboxFailures" value in the registry under HKCU\Software\Zimbra or HKLM\Software\Zimbra.
Probably will only require a new ZCO build, but want to avoid people trying the .14 one from their downloads folder on accident - so may release a .15 for at-a-glance version simplicity sake. Of course we will also put it in the support portal for those who understandably don't want to do another update.

Water Safety Tips
Tips and a video to ensure you stay safe in the water, whether a pool, lake or the sea.
Water safety is not just about ensuring children are safe in the water. Everyone needs to follow some basic advice for ensuring swimming is fun and not life-threatening.
- If you are a parent seeking advice about child water safety click here.
General safety tips for adults
- Never swim alone
- Do not swim at all if you have been drinking or if you have taken medication that alters your medical status
- Check the water temperature before swimming. Cold water can tax the body and make it difficult to swim well
- If you have a swimming pool ensure there is a fence around it. It is not always about protecting yourself
- Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). You never know when you may need to use it.
- Exercise to build up your muscles and endurance in the water. MySwimfit can help you with this.
- Before swimming consult your doctor to find out how much exercise you should do and if water exercise is appropriate.
