DAS PETROU and JOHN WATKISS will be signing RING OF ROSES at the Forbidden Planet London Megastore on Wednesday 29th July from 6:00 – 7:00 PM.
This is London, 1991. Lawyer Samuel Waterhouse investigates a ghoulish murder mystery set in alternate English history that's all religious mania, secret societies and the plague. Imagine an England under religious rule – a rule so iron-fisted that science and technology has been set back decades…

He also worked at Neal Adams' Continuity Associates in New York, and wrote a JAMES BOND series for Dark Horse, as well as being an art director at Cartoon Network. When writing RING OF ROSES he was working on a feature for Steven Spielberg, and developing the TV series, TALES OF BEATRIX POTTER. He is currently completing his first novel, a supernatural thriller called WINTER OF THE SUCCUBUS.
John is a respected fine art painter, comic book artist, and visual development artist in film. After working on Ring of Roses, he moved to LA to develop TARZAN and ATLANTIS for Walt Disney. He has also worked for world-famous companies, including Saatchi & Saatchi, Ridley Scott Associates, Francis Ford Coppola, Dreamworks, Twentieth Century Fox and Disney. John drew SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE, BATMAN, and DEADMAN for Vertigo. He is now living in the UK, and working on SURGEON X, a project he is developing as both a comic book and TV series for Sony Pictures.

We take our coffee black, our magazine subscriptions are on auto-pay, and our assistant makes all of our appointments for us. Okay, that last one was wishful thinking, but what we're saying is that we like our lives to be as easy as possible. Which is why we give two big toes up to these Sugar Darlin Sandals ($20). We subscribe to the belief that the more colors an item of clothing has, the more pieces it can be worn with. So when we're taking our mornings easily, as we are wont to do, we can throw these sandals on with whatever we've pieced together with the assurance that it will all coordinate in the end. Easy as pie.

Although Anthem Lights first came to the surface through many of their powerful songs such as "Can't Get Over You" and "I Wanna Know You Like That," the four vocalists have gained a significant fan base due to their variety of cover songs, and "Mashups;" (collaborations of different popular songs), including their latest highlighting the 2014 K-LOVE Fan Awards Songs of the Year Nominees. See the video of the song, as well as download it on iTunes at www.klove.com/events/fan-awards.
Anthem Lights originally came together by "accident" so to speak, when Chad Graham and Alan Powell teamed up to work on a solo project for Chad. Once they started collaborating, they both felt the songs would sound better performed by a group as opposed to a solo artist. With four talented vocalists (Alan Powell, Caleb Grimm, Chad Graham, and Joey Stamper), Anthem Lights delivers infectious harmonies and musical arrangements.
Following their self-titled debut, the band released their second album You Have My Heart (February 4, 2014), after departing from their record label and using the website kickstarter to raise money to fund the project. But even with all the exciting things happening for the band, the members of Anthem Lights are determined that their message takes center stage.
"We take this ministry very seriously," says group member Chad Graham. "God has always been leading us down this path, and so we want to use what God has given us to get this message out to people who need it: 'Your life has purpose and meaning in Christ.' We all struggle with the idea of perfection, and we all stumble and fall, but that purpose for our lives never goes away. And God never, ever gives up on us."

Actor and rapper LL Cool J is set to appear on tonight's 'WWE RAW' airing live from Memphis, Tennessee according to a report today by Wrestlezone. The star of the 'NCIS: Los Angeles' is set to appear on tonight's show to promote the CBS crime drama. There is no word yet on what LL will be doing on the show just yet and WWE has yet to officially confirm the appearance.
LL Cool J follows Hollywood stars Aaron Paul and Betty White who all made appearances on 'RAW' recently. WWE is currently in their playoff season called 'Road to Wrestlemania' which culminates in the company's biggest annual pay-per-view event Wrestlemania 30 on Sunday April 6th.
WWE has some big WM30 announcements on taking place 'RAW' involving the event's host and WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan and the legendary Undertaker.
Pro Wrestling Examiner's Perspective: LL Cool J is a muscle-bound actor who could possibly get into some physicality with WWE stars tonight on 'RAW' but that is purely speculative. It would be interesting to see if LL raps at all on the show as well, as he has really spent . Maybe an impromptu rendition of "Mama Said Knock You Out" or what if he has a battle-rap with John Cena?

International Center of Photography Names New Director to Succeed Hartshorn
The International Center of Photography (ICP) board of trustees today named Mark Robbins, dean of the School of Architecture at Syracuse University, as the new executive director of ICP. Robbins will succeed Willis E. "Buzz" Hartshorn, who announced last year he would be leaving his role for medical reasons.
Before joining Syracuse, Robbins served as director of design for the National Endowment for the Arts and as a curator of architecture at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio. In a statement, Jeffrey Rosen, president of the ICP board of trustees, said the board was impressed with his "vision of the transformational power of images" and noted that in his previous positions, Robbins "made a significant impact as a leader and a manager, and as an artist and an educator."

Open Letter to the Communities of Metro Detroit from the DSO Executive Committee to the Board
December 9, 2010
Nobody loves the traditions, the character, the music, and the musicians – especially the music and the musicians – of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra more than we do. That's why we proudly give our time, our energy and our financial support to keep the DSO a vibrant force in our community.
We are hugely disappointed to be in the position we are in, the tenth week of a heartbreaking strike that we hoped would never happen. Our foremost objective is to bring an end to this strike – a strike that no one wanted. We remain convinced that any resolution must be fiscally responsible and ensure not only the future viability, but also the future vitality, of the DSO – keys to successful future fundraising. We cannot and will not exceed what the DSO, its subscribers, patrons and donors can afford.
The DSO has been backed into a corner by the financial realities of the past several years that have devastated our community, and even before that had begun impacting the orchestra. Despite the DSO being among the very top fundraisers among all American orchestras, contributions to the arts are under an unprecedented level of stress. In Detroit, contributions have declined by nearly 30% (individual, corporate, foundation, state and federal funding) since 2008. Concurrently, as Michigan's economy has been battered, the community's ability to buy tickets has been impacted, resulting in a 20% decline in ticket sales and other earned income. These market forces have wrought havoc on our bottom line results and our future projections and are not different than the realities facing orchestras across the country. We continue to negotiate with our banks and reach out to our supporters as we dip precariously deeper into our endowment and watch potential revenues dry up as the strike now causes the cancellation of more holiday concerts. While we hope for, and work toward, a future economic recovery, we cannot spend more than we earn and what we reasonably expect to raise.
All of this is painful to watch and even more painful of which to be a part. And the longer it continues, the deeper we are being pushed into that corner.
As Board members we take our responsibility as custodians of the DSO very seriously. We speak with one voice with the management team in these negotiations and we share an unwavering conviction that the only way to arrive at a successful resolution in these negotiations is to reach one that is fiscally responsible and realistically achievable. In other words, as we've said before, there can be no artistic excellence without financial viability.
The Officers and Executive Committee of the DSO, on behalf of the Board of Directors, unanimously support Anne Parsons and her management team's leadership in these negotiations and in building the organization for the future. We are joined at the hip in these efforts, are excited about the future and confident that the Detroit Symphony Orchestra will come together again as a family to bring great music to Detroit and to the world. We hope that an agreement can be reached quickly and that we can return to listening to the music and the musicians we all love as soon as possible.

Laptop battery does not charge0
by Tom Morris
Laptop battery does not charge
With the growing complexity of laptops, notebooks and netbooks, figuring out why a laptop battery does not charge is not easy. IBM Laptop Battery that suddenly die or notifications like "laptop battery not recognized" trigger valid reasons for suspicion. Even more — simply replacing a laptop battery is an expensive affair and certainly not always the solution. Nowadays there are many components involved in charging a laptop battery. In this story you'll find a simplified approach to narrowing down a laptop battery problem and possible leads to a solution.
Simple PA3636U-1BRL Battery charging diagnosis
The simplified diagnosis assumes the following;
1) Laptop works on AC power — laptop battery doesn't charge.
2) Laptop battery has worked before in the same laptop
The approach assumes the smart battery system architecture developed by Duracel and Intel. A DELL Latitude D610 business laptop is used as example.
Although the information here might not apply in all cases, it still might shed light on reasons why a HP 381374-001 Battery does not charge.
Diagnosis approach
The diagnosis approach is based on the observation that all laptop battery charging components are active when the laptop is powered off with the AC power adapter connected. This is true for most laptops and eliminates the involvement of the main processor in charging a Dell FP282 Battery .
Laptop battery charging is managed by a second processor on the laptop motherboard. In this approach the second processor is identified as the POST (Power On Self Test) controller. The controller executes initial test during power-on and manages laptop battery charging. Although this might not apply for all laptops, the observation mentioned earlier still stands.
When the laptop is powered-on information about laptop battery charging can be monitored through either through the BIOS setup screen or for example in Windows or Linux.

MacBook Woes: Cannot charge or retrieve power from battery25
Here is a brief summary: About 6 months ago, the computer battery would shut off at random while running on the battery. The battery connector was loose, as the computer battery's battery worked immediately after shutting down. I later fixed the loose connector and the computer battery ran perfectly fine for a few months without random shutdowns. 2 months ago, I was working on the computer battery, plugged in, when I left to go eat. I returned 15 minutes later. I decided I wanted to work somewhere else in the house, so I unplugged the computer battery. The computer battery died immediately, and would not power up without the adapter since then. The battery's condition is fine, since it worked properly up until this problem occurred. Also, the battery says it's 60% full. Some notes: I did use the computer battery on a 240v line for a week while I was in China. The MacBook's power adapter is designed to handle foreign voltages and frequencies. This problem began a couple of weeks after returning. I have reset the PRAM and the SMU. This same problem occurs while in the boot menu, in Mac OS X Leopard, and also Windows XP. Please leave only "smart" comments.

In response to the more powerful of the 3C products, battery technology innovation must also be kept in order to supply this generation of more and more hungry, more power to 3C products. The four most common rechargeable batteries – nickel cadmium, nickel hydrogen, lithium ion and lithium polymer in the end what is the difference? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Xiaojiang used in this in trying to find data on the network to analyze the extracts of… Nickel-cadmium batteries (NiCd) Is the oldest one rechargeable battery technology, as early as 1899, was invented. Nickel-cadmium batteries can withstand short-term advantages of a large number of discharge and charge process is endothermic reaction – the latter feature will not allow it to charge batteries quickly cause too much damage. Nickel-cadmium battery voltage is 1.2V, than 1.5V alkaline battery slightly less marked, but because the process of alkaline battery discharge voltage will continue to fall, to usually only when no power 1V, instead of nickel-cadmium batteries provided has been very stable until the voltage 1.2V to date no electricity, so the majority of electronic products using alkaline battery nickel-cadmium batteries can be put in, no problem. Disadvantage of nickel cadmium batteries of the most famous is the so-called "memory effect", that is, when there are still not run out of battery power to recharge, the battery will "remember" the position, remaining so for a long time after the electricity used, the battery will occur and the same response no electricity (voltage transient lower). Therefore, before charging nickel-cadmium discharge process to go through a period, after the electricity to recharge drained. Most of all nickel-cadmium battery charger with automatic discharge function. Than nickel-cadmium batteries for power storage is small (only about alkaline batteries, 1 / 4), and cadmium are toxic heavy metals, less so recently seen. Most applications have been close to its nickel-metal hydride battery (NiMH) replaced. Nickel-metal hydride battery (NiMH) Nickel-metal hydride batteries and nickel-cadmium battery is about the same technology, but replaced the anode from the cadmium hydride only. Most of its features and nickel-cadmium batteries, but a higher storage capacity, memory effect is relatively less obvious (but actually still exist). Ni-MH battery most of the problems is that it has a high self-discharge rate, which is obviously yes full battery charge, aside Buyong month, the electricity can have lost 30% of the spectrum. In the use of 5 and 7 size batteries application, Ni-MH rechargeable battery is currently the mainstream, but has a higher storage capacity required to seek, or need to do more hours of volume, it is necessary by lithium-ion battery was… Lithium-ion battery (Li-ion) Lithium-ion battery is almost fantastic battery charge capacity, compact, light weight, no memory effect, high voltage, and low self-discharge, it is no wonder the majority of modern see 3C products were obtained using the lithium-ion ( or lithium polymer) battery. But the seemingly perfect lithium-ion battery or a danger exists – the most obvious it has a very high tendency to self-destruct, and so much energy will be squeezed in such a small space, blew up and it is spectacular to be expected the. To avoid the risk of the occurrence of lithium must be added a lot of protective measures, the battery charging too far or is overheating, automatically power off. These additional circuits and institutions, is why there is no III / IV size lithium-ion batteries, laptop batteries and why such a high price reasons. Lithium-ion battery also features a more interesting unknown is whether you have not used it, it will be with the maximum charge capacity battery material oxidation decreased. In general at room temperature, the lithium-ion batteries store electricity will drop about 20% per year, and the higher the temperature, charge full survived, survived down fast. So if your laptop relatively poor heat dissipation, then for a long time to full power at 60 ? c environment lithium battery can lose 40% within three months of the storage of electricity. The following are the recommendations of lithium maintenance: Do not use electric light was charging – lithium batteries do not like to be discharged into the finish, so if you often find themselves the power to use the laptop dry, then it stars a bigger battery for it! Do not charge to full power over – as I said before, the more full battery charge, has power down faster, so keep the 60 to 80% full is the best state. Unfortunately, like in addition to Panasonic's notebook battery, but to achieve this is not easy. Every thirty normal charge and discharge, it is necessary to a "use dry" discharge – a short time are not afraid of lithium-ion battery itself, a small amount of the charge and discharge, but the previously mentioned circuit protection and may result in miscarriage of justice in the end is the battery There is much power. Discharge to a major power with a dry, and then charge to full saturation should be able to protect the loop "correction" back. Many laptop battery have a software or even in the BIOS, to provide such functionality. Laptop with AC power, pull down the battery – which is the storage of electricity as the previous fall, said the issue. Pull down the battery, at least do not have access to the computer itself, it's hot. If the battery then thrown into the refrigerator, the better… Battery close up, leaving about 40% of the electricity in it – to leave too much storage capacity will reduce the problem, leaving little damage to the battery. What Nansi Hou ah! Have to buy to buy a new battery – new battery have full power Oh! Lithium-polymer battery (Li-Pol) lithium polymer batteries and lithium ion batteries, like the principle, but with a polymer electrolyte to replace the part. This makes lithium polymer battery can be made into various shapes (a good thing for consumers is not ==), in line with demand to be different. Lithium polymer batteries are also safer than lithium-ion battery to high temperature, impact, but there are still over charge ** when the danger. Maintenance and other principles are the same lithium-ion battery (so would rather use the phone every day, lithium battery charger, do not use photovoltaic and we have to charge.)

Notebook battery charge times
Notebook battery aging is by laptop battery charge times to decide, then how calculative laptop battery charge number? If I keep battery in a notebook, with the occasional battery (if use a 15% such, then plug adapter to notebook batteries, this is not a battery again? Still say the battery every complete one time charge need a certain formula computed, not so: as long as we imagine to battery charger for electricity, even if point to, also calculate one time charge. Below are online generally thought calculation modes:
Battery full charge quantity number:
Basically is in accordance with the battery power into to calculate battery charge times and the degree of ageing, counting the method is as follows:
Generally speaking, when the battery charge starting power is greater than the current full power of 70% (this value different companies have different regulation, generally not by much) when the battery power input current accumulated more than 70% of the full charge of quantity, regard as charge once. For example your battery of this limit value is 70%; Every time you are the battery in 80% of time the charging, then your battery can be read out the number per additional charge, the actual number is four times.
Hypothesis full power for: 3800 mah
Start charging more than 70% of the full amount of power: 38 * 70% = 2660 mah (every time in 80% of the time the charging)
Accumulative total input power: : 3800 * * 4 = 20% 3040mah (3,800 * * 3 = 20% 2280mah)
The actual number of charging for less than 3 2660, so said, "every time in 80% of time the charging, need actual charge opportunity to reach four times is finished once the accumulative total"
Below the starting power of the battery, accumulative total input power = full power – the current power, as charge once.
If you are in the power for 60% of the time the charging, 3800mah – 3800mah * 60% = 1520mah, when the input power reached when deemed 1520mah charge once
The above is not very accurate calculation (because every time could be accurate to 60% only when filling, nor all the time from 60% full of the reoccupy after, perhaps filling to 95% began using), everybody casual about can, need not delve into!
The current full power: because the battery aging, so the battery internal a aging algorithm, will automatically according to the battery usage of automatic updates the current full charge the battery energy, in case the overcharge cause unsafe factors. This algorithm, depending on the battery batches, company, manufacturers different and different. Some battery simply used security chip venders set the default algorithm

An abandoned kitten from the Front Street Animal Shelter is winning awards – and hearts – all over the world. The diminutive feline has become a popular competitor on the cat show circuit since her adoption in Sacramento in January.
Ken Kershaw met the chocolate, fawn and cream-colored kitten at an internationally sanctioned cat show to which Animal Outreach of the Mother Lode and the City of Sacramento's Front Street Shelter had brought adoptable felines.
Shelter cats and kittens competed against professional show cats at the event, put on by the Jazzy Cats chapter of The International Cat Association (TICA).
TICA shows include categories for Household Pets (HHP) as well as for pedigreed cats, and the competition is just as serious as it is with the purebreds.
The association is involved in 103 countries around the world, according to Roeann Fulkerson of TICA, and it continues to grow. In addition to the pedigreed animals, the registry of HHP cats will hit 50,000 by the end of this year.
Several of Kershaw's HHP cats were competing in the January show, and he was immediately drawn to the charm and personality of the kitten, then called Fleur de Lis. He adopted her on the first morning of the show and visited her constantly throughout the two-day event.
Kershaw, known for the whimsical names he gives his animals, dubbed the kitten "Tailor Swiff".
Kershaw definitely has an eye for feline talent. At a Jazzy Cats show in 2011, he adopted a Front Street kitten whom he later named "Feral Faucet". She went on to become the number one HHP kitten in the world for 2012.
The following year, Feral earned the 2013 title as the best adult household pet on earth.
Now Tailor Swiff is working her way up in the cat show rankings. She is currently the number one kitten in TICA's Mid-Pacific region and is in 6th place internationally.
Kershaw says that Tailor has a wonderful, goofy personality that has earned her the nickname "Wild Child" at home. The kitten follows him around as a dog would, and plops down on his chest at every opportunity.
He says Tailor is not always allowed on the bed at night.
"She likes to grab the hair in your armpit and knead it," he notes, "making it almost impossible to get any sleep."
Tailor will be competing in the next Sacramento TICA show, held at the McClellan Conference Center on Aug. 16 and 17. The show, titled "Feline Like A Celebration!", is being put on by the Wine Country Cats chapter of TICA.
Front Street staff and volunteers will also be at the show with many adoptable cats and kittens, ten of which will be competing.
At the invitation of Gloria Mahan of Jazzy Cats, hundreds of Sacramento-area shelter pets have found new homes through TICA cat shows since 2011.

- You said that I was like a cat, because a cat would stay in the home of whoever damaged his fur.
- If the cat's fur was shiny and nice, however, the cat would not stay at home for even half a day; instead, she would go show off her fur, and caterwaul (shriek like a cat) and play.
- This is your way of saying that if I have nice clothes I will run around town to show them off.

College Hockey:Taste of NCAA tournament whets Northern Michigan's appetite
Walt Kyle once joked that he had taken Northern Michigan to the CCHA third-place game so many times that the contest would probably be named for him. In late March, however, Kyle and the Wildcats were proverbial bridesmaids no more. NMU finally got the chance to play for the CCHA championship.
It was just the Wildcats' luck, however, to have to play Michigan for the title, and the Wolverines were not to be denied last season. When the teams met, Michigan was on a mission to return to the NCAA tournament for a 20th consecutive season, and with their first title game appearance in Kyle's eight years as head coach, the Wildcats became a footnote in someone else's story.
"It was gratifying," Kyle said. "You get to the game and you'd like to win it, that's for sure. It was also good to get into the NCAA tournament."
After losing 2-1 to Michigan in Joe Louis Arena, NMU earned its first NCAA appearance in the Kyle era. The Wildcats lost their West Regional semifinal game against St. Cloud State 4-3 less than a minute into the game's second overtime.
The CCHA championship game and the NCAA appearance were hard-won accomplishments, Kyle said. "We've had real good runs over the last several years at the end and we're real proud of that, but you've got to be good throughout the entire course of the year to get into the tournament and we were able to do that last year," he said
And all of it was great preparation for the 2010-11 campaign. "Getting in and getting the experience … can do nothing but help some of these young guys," Kyle said. "Getting a taste of it will, I think, whet their appetite for more in the future."
The Wildcats were led by an excellent group of seniors last year — "real solid competitors and guys that really added a lot," Kyle said — along with two juniors who will be difficult to replace.
"When you couple that with losing both Mark Olver — who was an All-American and a Hobey Baker candidate — and Erik Gustafsson — who was a two-year All-American and a top defenseman in the league — we really lost a ton of guys who were impact players."
But the 'Cats return Gregor Hanson, Justin Florek and Andrew Cherniwchan, three players responsible for 40 goals.
"Hanson has been a real solid player and a real solid offensive contributor for us throughout his career," Kyle said. "He's probably the one guy that we have that has some dynamic offense to his game, the one returning player.
"I think Florek is a guy who really came into his own last year, started to put up numbers, started to make himself dangerous. He was a true freshman when he came in and he's only getting better every day."
Kyle said he expects Cherniwchan and Tyler Gron to "pick up the slack offensively."
Last year, goaltender Reid Ellingson looked good behind senior Brian Stewart. "He's a good kid and I'm really excited that he's going to get a chance to come in and prove what he can do," Kyle said.

What? I FELL ASLEEP!: Pizza Cooked For 13 Hours
In much, MUCH sadder food news, here's what a pizza cooked for 13 hours looks like. I assume it was cooked at low heat because I have definitely forgotten about pizzas in the oven before and eventually they DO catch fire. That's how you know they're done! *burns roof of mouth* Hot -- HOT! "It's still on fire, dipshit." I thought those were cheese vapors.

X-Chem is entering a multi-target collaboration with Pfizer aimed at developing several programs for treating inflammatory and orphan diseases. Per the agreement, X-Chem is bringing to the table its discovery engine, which the firm says will leverage a high-diversity DNA-encoded small molecule library to aid in identifying novel leads for Pfizer's programs. Pfizer is picking up an exclusive option to license any compounds generated through the collaboration.
X-Chem's drug discovery engine, according to the company, is based on a library generated by iterative combinatorial synthesis of small molecules tethered to DNA tags, which record the synthetic history of the small molecule. The library is diverse enough to produce multiple families of related molecules that can bind to the target, forming a basis for structure-activity relationships to be used to guide iterative chemical maturation of a lead molecule into a drug.
Tony Wood, svp, Worldwide Medicinal Chemistry at Pfizer, said in a statement that the firm has always been keen to try out new technologies to expand their pipeline of medicines. "The use of ultra-large and highly diverse DNA-encoded small molecule libraries has emerged as a novel technology with potential to generate leads for difficult targets of high importance," he added.
Pfizer isn't the only firm that has inked multitarget collaborations with X-Chem: Bayer launched one with the drug discovery company back in July of 2012. X-Chem announced in February that it licensed to Bayer an early-stage drug discovery program directed against an epigenetic drug target after achieving a success milestone in the 2012 collaboration.

A standoff that resulted after a report of an armed and barricaded subject at a Minnehaha-area home was resolved Thursday morning after the suspect was arrested more than a mile away.
Brad Kimball, 51, was arrested shortly before 9 a.m. walking near the intersection of 33rd and Y streets by a member of the Clark-Skamania Drug Task Force, who recognized him from his description, said Clark County Sheriff's Sgt. Fred Neiman.
Thursday evening, Kimball was being held without bail in the Clark County Jail on suspicion of first-degree domestic-violence assault and first-degree assault, a jail officer said.
Sgt. Kevin Allais with the sheriff's Major Crimes Unit said Kimball is alleged to have threatened his girlfriend or wife with a gun and fired the gun into the ground in her presence before deputies arrived. Kimball was scheduled to make a first appearance in court Friday morning.
Kimball was arrested more than a mile from the scene of the original call, which was at his home at 4514 N.E. 40th Ave. Sheriff's deputies were called to the home at 3:21 a.m. after someone called 911 to report a disturbance with a weapon. Deputies responded and found out that a shot had been fired.
Several people were in the home at the time. No one was reported injured.
When deputies arrived, most of the people had left the scene, but deputies thought Kimball was armed and in the residence, an older ranch-style home, white with a red-colored roof, on the west side of a residential street.
Over the next several hours, deputies tried to contact him to talk him into surrendering. A SWAT team, a hostage negotiating team and other units were at the scene, which is in the middle of a long block that stretches from Northeast 44th to 49th streets.
It wasn't clear how Kimball eluded deputies and fled the neighborhood. He was arrested south of Highway 500; his home is north of the busy highway.
Neiman said it's likely Kimball had left the home before SWAT officers arrived because SWAT officers are trained to surround a scene from several vantages and watch for any sign of a suspect in such cases.
Neiman said deputies arrived to find a volatile, heated dispute and a shot fired. "It was definitely a good call to have SWAT involved."
Neiman said a bang neighbors reported hearing possibly was a flash-bang distraction device.
"I'm just glad no one was hurt," he added.
Northeast 40th Avenue was closed between 44th and 49th streets for hours as the incident unfolded. Truman Elementary School, which is about two blocks east of the incident scene, remained open.
Kris Sork, spokeswoman for Vancouver Public Schools, said police make recommendations for school closures when there is activity nearby. In this particular case, school wasn't in lockdown, but a few buses ran slightly different routes.
"Police determined it was safe for that to happen," Sork said.
Mick Hoffman, Vancouver schools director of safety, security and athletics and two security officers went to the school to assist.
Officers surrounded the school's perimeter until 8:40 a.m., when deputies gave the all clear, Sork said.

Claim to fame: The Irvine Certified Farmers Market offers a multitude of fruits and vegetables, some difficult to find elsewhere, amid a festive atmosphere. "It features something for everybody, every culture and every age," marketing manager Trish Harrison said.
"In my opinion, that's what makes it a success." The market sells everything from fuchsia dragon fruit to bitter melon, Taiwanese vegetables to heirloom tomatoes. Specialty vendors are also a mainstay, dealing in varieties of herbs, grass-fed beef, chicken, bison meet and even quail eggs. Other items on a typical Saturday: jewelry, homemade doggy dinners, goat soap, aprons, hair accessories, handmade clay flowers, purses, dolls, bath salts and oils, soy candles, hats and children's clothes. Regular attendees get to know the farmers, Harrison said, and will ask questions about what's good.
"As you walk the aisles, you will notice something that you never notice in the supermarket," she said.
"You can actually smell all the freshly picked produce ... and I'm not just talking about the strong smells, such as onions, basil, mint, herbs ... You can even smell carrots, celery, beets, tomatoes and green beans." In the past decade, the market has grown into an event. The market also features weekly entertainment and a balloon artist for the kids next to the main entrance.
Did you know? With up to 117 vendors on any Saturday, the market is the largest certified market in Orange County, Harrison said.

In the same building that veteran quarterback Peyton Manning, at least for now, calls home, two of the biggest names in college football and perhaps the top two prospects in April's NFL draft took center stage at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the site of the NFL Scouting Combine.
Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III did their best not to disrespect Manning, a former Newman standout who missed all of the 2011 season with the Indianapolis Colts while recovering from neck surgery.
Each player said if he's drafted by the Colts with the No. 1 overall pick, he's willing to sit and learn from Manning.
"Peyton was my hero growing up, he was my football hero, he's who I modeled myself after in high school and middle school," said Luck, a former Stanford star who is expected to be the No. 1 pick. "You never truly replace a guy like that. If I had the opportunity to learn from a guy like that, of course you're going to take advantage of that, absolutely."
Griffin, a Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor, went even further, saying he covets such an opportunity.
"I would embrace it," Griffin said. "It's not very often you get chances to be on a team with a legend like that and learn from a guy like Peyton. I'd come in to compete to be that starter, but I wouldn't be upset if Peyton Manning was the starting quarterback on the team that I was on. I'd hold that clipboard with pride."
The more than 600 coaches, scouts and executives at the Combine will have to wait a little longer for the star quarterbacks to audition their strong right arms, though. Luck and Griffin said they plan to skip today's passing portion of drills when other quarterbacks, including LSU's Jordan Jefferson, showcase their talents.
Claiming to be doing what's in their own best interest, they said, they will participate in all other drills, including the 40-yard dash, but won't throw until their pro days.
"I was told earlier that there was something out there that teams had advised me not to throw, but that was not the case," Luck said. "I made the decision by myself. I bounced it off my agent and my father (former NFL quarterback Oliver Luck) and felt like it was in my best interest (to throw at his pro day)."
Said Griffin: "It's my decision. You don't go somewhere and run a game plan you never practiced, throw to guys you don't practice with, in an environment you are not prepared for. So that's why."
Griffin, though, appeared excited about meeting with NFL brass. He said he was looking forward to getting to know as many decision-makers as possible, and at the same time, allowing them to get a better impression of him.
"Some people think I came on the scene this year, so they haven't had as much time to evaluate me," Griffin said. "So I am excited to show them who I am as a person. I am happy-go-lucky, like to make people laugh, but know when to be serious as well."
Meanwhile, Griffin was measured at 6-foot-2 3/8 and 223 pounds, which is taller and heavier than he was listed at Baylor (6-2, 220).
"We didn't lie about my height," Griffin joked.
Luck, though, is considered the favorite to be drafted by the Colts. Luck, 6-4, 238, has long been compared to Manning and is said to be the most NFL-ready quarterback to come out for the draft in more than a decade.
But when asked if Luck had used his time in Indianapolis to begin house-hunting, Luck wasn't amused.
"I think that's a little premature," he said.
The questions are inevitable, though.
"I understand the questions have to be asked," he said. "It's part of it. I understand the speculation. In my mind, too, nothing's happened yet. I haven't been drafted by any team, and what Peyton has is still going on with the Colts. It's not uncomfortable. I understand the questions have to be asked."
Despite dominating college football last season, Griffin, who passed for 3,998 yards and 36 touchdowns and rushed for 644 yards and nine scores, knows there are some questioning his abilities.
"There is just a misconception that comes with being a duel threat quarterback," Griffin said. "You run first, throw second. But the one thing I have proven is that I throw first and run if I need to."
But today at the Combine, Griffin and Luck will run first, then pass when they need to at their pro days.

Mike Adriano Review
Mike Adriano does a lot of work for Evil Angel studios, and here you get to sample many of the DVDs he has stood behind and produced. All of them have an anal sex focus. These are series like Anal Starlets POV, American Anal Sluts, and Nasty Anal Tryouts POV. You'll see some bombshell ladies undressed, their asses fetishized to the max with groping, licking, and greasy insertions with anal beads, dildos, fingers and tongues. They also get hard fucked up both tight holes until gaped. There were cum shots, facials, and a few gooey creampie finales to boot. When it comes to anal sex, this site really hits the spot, making sure to keep the girls round, firm asses center stage throughout the foreplay as well as the hardcore.
In total Mike has 101 episodes online in his library so far. Each of the scenes is a full length episode form a DVD, running about 30+ minutes long on average. You can stream the scene instantly online in a Flash video player that looks sharp, or download it in great quality Windows Media files. Downloads and streams are for the full length scene, there are no clips. Though there is a "HD Streaming" option it actually falls just shy of being HD - the resolution isn't large enough, but the image quality is fantastic.
There was a tab for 530 picture galleries. Right now they are making updates weekly, and all of the content is exclusive (apart from being available on DVD).
As a bonus you'll have access to a large network of other sites. These are easy to jump on to, just pick them from a drop down menu at the top of the page. It includes high quality sites like Daring Sex, Evil Angel, Rocco Siffredi (a great site if you are into Mike's work here), and Peter North just to name a few. There are literally thousands of movies and scenes to watch and enjoy.
Mike Adriano knows how to fuck a girls tight round ass. If you're an ass man or anal junky, the porn here is going to fill you up nicely. Throw in the related bonus sites and it makes a pretty fantastic deal, even though it's a small and new site at the time of our visit. This site is definitely worth a visit.

A 20K desperate sell order flew over the counter on Friday, pulling UNTK hugely down to $1.64.
Fortunately the open on Monday was equally (but reversely) skewed with an 100K BUY at $1.65 and a 100 (that's 100 hundred, not 100K) ASK at $1.75.
Certainly interesting to watch... Someone wants some.

- Joan Miró Barcelona, Spain, 1893 - Palma de Mallorca, Spain, 1983
- Date:1937
- Technique:Graphite pencil on paper (notebook sheet)
- Dimensions:33,8 x 25,8 cm
- Category: Work on paper, Drawing
- Entry date:2002
- Register number:AD02569
In 1937, at the time when he was attending nude life drawing classes at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, Joan Miró produced a significant group of drawings. The pieces are from the period immediately following his works in which the dramatic atmosphere of 1935 and 1936 was turned into tortured shapes and acidic colours that really show the tragedy. These dramatics are followed by the mystery hidden within quasi-cryptic works, such as the series Signos y figuraciones (Signs and Figurations, 1936), or the material aggression of his series of paintings on masonite (1936), to finally lead to the period's most representative work, Naturaleza muerta del zapato viejo (Still Life with Old Shoe, 1937). The drama would disappear little by little, giving way to a new discourse, but in 1937 Miró was going through a time when he identified with Realism, giving rise to the series of Grande Chaumière drawings, which in some aspects anticipate the vocabulary of the artist's mature Surrealism.

Back in mid-March, families connected to and other interested parties in the missing Malaysia Airlines flight petitioned the Malaysian government and Malaysia Airlines to release to the public the Inmarsat satellite tracking data and other pertinent information regarding missing Boeing 777. On May 27, the data used in the hunt to find the missing plane was finally released. While the question remains as to why it took so long for the information to be made public, the more important question on the minds of many focuses on Flight 370 and its missing passengers and crew. Succinctly: Can an independent analysis of the satellite data help determine the whereabouts of the missing plane?
Short answer: Yes. Possibly.
The Associated Press reported (via Yahoo News) May 27 that the government of Malaysia released a 45-page report Tuesday covering the data used in tracking and ascertaining the trail and possible final location of Flight 370. However, analysts were quick to note that there were portions of data missing. Those working on finding the missing plane say that there is enough data for independent analysts to work with. Whether or not this is so is as yet unknown.
But the information made available could potentially provide experts and analysts outside the Malaysian government and the international teams working on various searches with what is needed to provide a more accurate model of the missing Boeing 777's flight path and, ultimately, lead to its eventual recovery.
Because it is now known that the pings that were the center of the undersea investigation for the past seven weeks did not originate from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane's black boxes.
"This is all the data we have for what has happened for those six or so hours," Mark Dickinson, Inmarsat's vice president of satellite operations, told CNN last week. "It's important we all get it right and particularly that everyone looking at the data makes the best judgments on it and how it's used. And particularly for the families and friends of the relatives on board, try and make sure that we can help bring this sad incident to a close."
The search for the aircraft is entirely dependant on the satellite data. Of this Dickinson is aware.
Correspondent Richard Quest commented, "It is up to the detractors and doubters to come up and say why they believe it's wrong. Not the other way around."
But those doubts and detractions came as more and more information emerged concerning the Malaysia government's less than exemplary investigation into the whereabouts of the missing plane. Families and friends of the 239 people aboard Flight 370 became increasingly inmpatient and frustrated with the lack of progress in the case and requested that the satellite data be made available to the public for independent analysis.
Concerns were not mollified after CNN made public the Malaysia government's denial of having any of the Inmarsat satellite data -- even though the British satellite company told CNN that they had given all the data to the government. Inmarsat noted that once the data was released to the Malaysia government, it was up to that body to decide on what was to be released to the public.
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 left Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Saturday, March 8 on its way to Beijing, China. Partway across the South China Sea, it suddenly disappeared from land-based radar and would subesequently alter its flight path. In a series of maneuvers that still has experts and analysts speculating, the Boeing 777 was followed by satellite tracking. Ultimately, according to the satellite data, the missing plane ended up in the southern Indian Ocean west of Australia.

The park commission for the city of Chico has put together a work plan to improve the Caper Acres playground at Bidwell Park.
Before they have come up with a master plan, city officials asked citizens what they think needs to be fixed.
"You know this is a place where so many people for all ages of Chico," said Rosemary Ocampo, a frequent park visitor. "Anybody who comes to Chico this is the place to be."
"We want to get priorities and get a list of what needs to get done out here," said Dan Efseaff, park and natural resource manager for the city of Chico.
City officials and citizens walked around the playground, and pointed out problems that needed to addressed. Efseaff said that despite the lack of funds in the budget, he still wants to know how to improve Caper Acres.
"Even if we didn't have the challenges with the budget, we still need to fix whatever else is out here," said Efseaff.
It was suggested that the bathroom needs some work, and some of the wood on the park structures need to be replaced. Others asked for better security after hours.
"It's heart breaking when you see it get vandalized," said Ocampo.
If you didn't make it out caper acres this afternoon, you can email the city your suggestions.

"We have just received word that the anti-gun Bloomberg organization Moms Demand Action is planning on crashing Joni Ernst's appearance at the Iowa State Fair tomorrow, August 8!" an email alert sent this evening by Barry B. Snell, Communications Director of Iowa Firearms Coalition advises. "Joni Ernst, a senator in the state legislature and lieutenant colonel in the Iowa National Guard, is the pro-gun candidate running against anti-gun Bruce Braley for Tom Harkin's Senate seat. Because of that, MDA is sending e-mails and making phone calls as I type, recruiting their anti-gun, billionaire backed, Astroturf activists to come to our fair and bushwhack Ernst when she's scheduled to speak at the Soap Box Friday morning at 10:30 a.m."
Shortly after the email alert went out, IFC posted a video (see above) of a call that MDA is making to recruit "volunteers" for their sneak attack media stunt, and made a telling revelation.
"An Iowa Firearms Coalition member passed this voicemail along earlier today," the description accompanying the video reports. "Michael Bloomberg's Moms Demand Action group wants to pay for your parking, admission, and food at the Iowa State Fair. Just call their number to RSVP (note that this 'grassroots' event is being organized out of a San Diego, CA area code)."
That's hardly surprising for those who monitor the way the outsider group inserts itself into states and throws money around. For a recent example, this column reported three days ago how "Nevadans for Background Checks" is really a Bloomberg front group with New York City direction. Whether that means the caller is actually a current California resident or if she kept her number and moved is unknown, but one significant difference in the way the groups operate is undeniable: Unlike the bankrolled Bloombergians, Iowa Firearms Coalition, which is attempting to react quickly, isn't offering to reimburse their supporters for parking, admission and food.
"We'd love to get as many gun rights advocates as possible out to counter their rally tomorrow!" they admit. "PLEASE, if you're attending the Iowa State Fair tomorrow, stop by the Soap Box before 10:30 AM Friday morning, August 8, and show Bloomberg and those MDA folks that their silly New York City, anti-gun nonsense has no place here in Iowa, where we value our civil rights and freedom! And if you weren't planning on attending, change your schedule and get to Des Moines Friday morning! The earlier you get there the better, because they and anti-gun Bruce Braley's supporters will be there an hour or two ahead of time."
One aside not in the IFC alert, but of interest to Gun Rights Examiner regulars, has to do with a tangential issue directly related to gun rights: Illegal immigration. That's because all reliable indicators show the effects of amnesty on the electorate heavily favor Democrats, and an influx of millions of new voters will directly threaten the right to keep and bear arms in the legislatures and the courts. Democrat Braley has been given a "D" on immigration issues from Numbers USA. Ernst has no rating, indicating her questionnaire has not been received. In fairness, readers will recall that was the case with Senate candidate Joe Miller in Alaska, who went on to establish a perfect score. It's definitely an area to clarify, particularly with her Chamber of Commerce endorsement, but she's also on record opposing the "Gang of Eight."
For now, there is no time to sort that out. Click here to read the entire IFC alert. Gun owners who are not from Iowa are asked to share IFC's message with any and all Iowa gun owners they know, and to do so right now, without delay, in order to respond to the quick reaction time needed.
If you're a regular Gun Rights Examiner reader and believe it provides news and perspectives you won't find in the mainstream press, please subscribe to this column and help spread the word by sharing links, promoting it on social media like Facebook (David Codrea) and Twitter (@dcodrea), and telling your like-minded friends about it.
