So Long, St. Louis
Talk of the Nation's been scattered to the four corners of the U.S. lately (OK, not exactly, but it feels like it with trips to Tempe, St. Louis, Columbus and Athens, and Blacksburg, VA), and right now most of our crew's in Ohio. Tonight Neal hosts our third National Listening Party there, and tomorrow and Thursday he's hosting the show from Columbus, then Athens. But before tonight's event gets rolling, I just want to take a quick moment to sing St. Louis's praises. I arrived there late Wednesday night (note to future visitors: do not expect to find a bar serving food after 11pm in the outskirts of the city. You won't. Try sneaking Steak-n-Shake into Brewskeez instead.), and had a late call time on Thursday for the broadcast, so my engineer friends Chris Nelson and Sean Phillips picked me up and we made our way to the Gateway Arch. That, my friends, is an impressive monument. We had a perfectly gorgeous day, so we dashed around snapping photos outside, then headed underground to board the tram to the top. The tram is a total trip — 8 tiny little space pods hold 5 passengers each, and let me tell you, it's cozy. The pods lurch their way to the top*, after which you emerge onto a narrow stairwell. At the top — narrow and low-ceilinged as you'd expect — the view from the tiny windows stretches for miles. My boss warned us that on a windy day you can feel the structure sway, but mother nature spared us, offering a clear and steady view. Ten bucks and a morning off well spent. Thanks, St. Louis!
*This is hearsay, but a woman in our pod on the way down told us that when the National Parks folks renovated the system recently, they could have eliminated the lurching feeling and grinding sounds, but opted not to. It's all part of the experience!

New Start, at 300 South Ponce De Leon Blvd., is holding the latest round of courses aimed at helping people improve skills needed to find a job.
The career training workshop will run from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for about six weeks. The last class had 12 and right now there are about eight signed up.
The course starts at 1:30 p.m. on Monday. Show up by 1 p.m. to register.
Vikki Arneault, director of New Start, has set up these classes to help people who want to get employment improve skills and also to see the city businesses prosper.
"The workshops are set up to help people overcome barriers that keep them unemployed," Arneault said. "Most people don't know their own potential. Most don't see they have anything to offer. We work on these qualities."
The requirements for the class are simple -- no drugs for at least four weeks and the attendees must sign an agreement to this effect.
Some of the topics covered include self esteem, security, reasons people work, resume building and interview skills. One major goal is to change the way the unemployed think about their abilities.
"People think they can call up and we can just give them a job," Arneault said. "We do not do a hand out, only a hand up. We will match the effort they put out."
There is homework involved in the many of the classes, along with a large portion being team work. The material is faith-based.
Arneault, who retired from the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office in January, volunteers her time to direct this program. New Start's building includes two classrooms, offices and a computer working area. The graduates of the workshops often come back to volunteer after finding work.
"This is an all-volunteer, and all-donation run organization. We have no grants or government funding," Arneault said.
For information, call 808-1411.

Classic musical, classic Airstreams visiting Civic Center this weekend
Published: Thursday, March 8, 2007 at 10:35 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 8, 2007 at 11:06 a.m.
Those seeking a weekly entertainment fix need not look any farther than Civic Center Boulevard in Houma.
Along with presenting "Urban Cowboy: The Musical," as part of its Cenac Towing Season of Entertainment, the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center will also play host to the Pelican State Airstream RV Rally.
Based on the hit 1980 movie, "Urban Cowboy" will begin Friday at 7:30 p.m.
The musical will feature many of the songs that made the movie infamous for its portrayal of a modern-day cowboy searching for true love.
Familiar songs from the film such as "Looking for Love In All the Wrong Places," "Could I Have This Dance?" and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," will be featured along with modern classics by current artists Clint Black, Toby Keith and Brooks and Dunn.
"It basically duplicates the original ëUrban Cowboy movie we all know and love," Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center marketing manager Lori Toups said. "This is a musical that has a little of something for everyone."
The Windwood Productions show is being sponsored by Cenac Towing, Chase, Trapp Cadillac Cheverolet, The Courier and Daily Comet, and the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center Development Corp.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with tickets ranging in price from $36 to $47.
Toups said there are still good seats available.
The RV Rally, which begins today, includes enthusiasts from around the country.
The event being coined "Rally on the Bayou" is the third RV rally thats been held at the Civic Center in the last six months.
Last year, the Pelican State Rally in Houma was cancelled due to Hurricane Katrina.
Toups said the Civic Center is expecting about 150 visiting vehicles.
"As of Feb. 26 we had 60 RVs registered for the event," she said. "We are looking forward to hosting this group."
Toups stressed the importance of these sorts of events.
"Whenever people travel to Houma and the surrounding areas, it has an economic impact," Toups said. "When theyre here they spend money at area businesses and stores."
The Pelican State RV Rally, which is being hosted by the Greater New Orleans/Gulf States Unit, will offer participants the chance to tour and visit local attractions and sample authentic cajun cuisine.
The event lasts through Sunday.
Pelican State Rally is the Louisiana State Rally for WBCCI (Wally Byam Caravan Club, International).
WBCCI is the name of the Airstream RV Owners Association, and Byam was the inventor of Airstream Travel Trailers.
The WBCCI, which has more than 7,000 members, has three chapters in Louisiana.
"Most of the people coming to the rally are from out of state," rally co-chairman and participant Lonnie Carver said. "The silver trailers begin arriving today with the rally scheduled for Thursday through Sunday."
Carver and her husband own a vintage 1959 silver Airstream RV.
"They (vintage Airstreams) are real beauties," Carver said. "We are having an open house on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. We invite everyone to stop by and see these classic RVs."

I was wondering which one should I consider if I need the software to be used on both platforms, WIN and Linux and why?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Packaging GTK and its dependencies on Windows is a full-time project in itself. Qt is much more easily distributed since it has no dependencies that do not come with Windows.
Qt has been cross platform from the start. GTK has not always been cross platform. Such fundamental decisions shape the overall design, and should be made before any code is written in my opinion.
I would comment more, but I'd be drifting into speculation, the above two things I know for certain.
Both are good toolkits that have their advantages and disadvantages.
One difference is the implementation language. Qt is in C++, and GTK+ is in C. However GTK+ has bindings for many, many other languages (perl, python, C++, .NET, etc) so it's not a huge issue.
An Advantage of Qt is that it offers a bit broader range of functionality built in (xml, database access, network programming, openGL, etc). GTK+ has basically all of these things within its orbit (e.g. libxml2, librsvg, libsoup, libgda, etc), but they're not as much of a single coherent package as Qt is.
My personal recommendation is to use gtkmm, the C++ bindings for GTK+. It offers a more comfortable object-oriented language to program in, and it provides nearly the same native performance as using GTK+ from C. (Disclaimer: I contribute to gtkmm).
GTK+ you can use almost in all programming languages, in C++ (using gtkmm) in C (gtk+) in C# (with Gtk#) in Python (PyGtk). Behind GTK you have Mono Framework which is great implementation of .NET Framework for cross platform purposes. If you want to use Gtk# you have great IDE (MonoDevelop) with a very powerful gui designer. You can take a look at www.mono-project.org. But still depends what do you want to build, you are looking just gui toolkit, or the entire framework? And the logic behind signals/slots are the same in Gtk+ and Qt, but if you are using Gtk# they are transformed in the delegates/events paradigm.
my $0.02:
I've used Qt off and on for the last 4 years, and it's hands-down my favorite toolkit of anything I've tried (Win32, MFC, Borland, Java, GTK). I used GTK for a few weeks to try it out, and didn't like it. Mostly that was because I think it's awkward to use C instead of C++ for GUI apps on a PC... I do embedded work too, and I'd never use C++ on an 8051, but for a big GUI app I much prefer it. If you're going to try GTK, I'd suggest looking in to GTKmm, although I've never used it myself.
You might also consider wxWidgets. I have never used any of them but when I was looking over the cross-platform toolkits it was the one I had decided to try.
Three additional points in favor of Qt:
I would prefer Qt. As today, Qt is Open-source and free under more permissive, LGPL license. Qt is better ported for Windows and looks more native than GTK. Gimp on windows, for example, looks very strange, because most of its dialogs are not Windows dialogs. Qt can use native Window dialogs like Open/Save which makes it feel better as a framework. And yes, Qt is a framework, not only a GUI Widget. No, I am not advertising Qt here, as Qt have some strangeness for a windows user from development point of view, for example, Qt is Layout based while MFC / .NET are anchor based and Qt's Layout managers are sometimes strange. But if I have to choose between both GTK and Qt, I will select Qt. Also, now, Qt comes with very good IDE, Qt Creator, which is my default C/C++ IDE for all types of projects now (as Qt Creator can be used as such).
They are both fine toolkits. I'd base my decision on the licensing. Qt requires that you pay for a license if you are using it in a commercial product wheras GTK does not.
Qt 5.0 has won the war. I'm not a huge fan of C++ (I prefer plain old C), but I must admit that the Qt framework is amazing. Try to write a GUI program with GTK that runs on OSX, Linux, Windows (and soon iOS and Android) with native look-and-feel... Good luck !
I recommend to use Qt because:

Posted on 10/23/2009 8:53:41 AM PDT by InvisibleChurch
Pinellas Park, Florida-- A six year old girl sent to live with her grandparents as a baby is now being evicted from her home, for being too young.
The grandparents, Jimmy and Judie Stottler, live in a Pinellas Park retirement community that doesn't allow children. The Home Owners Association now wants the child removed.
"For some reason, there's a few, just a few who don't want Kimberly. And I just don't get it," said Judie Stottler.
The granddaughter was taken from her home at just six months old after the state discovered her mother was abusing drugs. She's lived with her grandparents against the rules ever since.
The family says they want to move out of the neighborhood, but by the time they put their home up for sale, the housing market crashed.
"They have no more assets to go out and purchase a rental property," said attorney Robert Eckard who is representing the family free of charge. "If they sell the home they can move. If not, they're homeless on the street."
The H-O-A president has been quoted saying he is only trying to enforce the rules. And while some residents argue the rules need to be followed, others suggest a compromise.
Either way, it will be up to a judge to decide what happens to the six year old next.
If the grandparents are unable to sell their home, the granddaughter could be sent to foster care.
That's something the Stollers say they will never let happen.
"They will have to drag me out in handcuffs and tear her from my arms," promises Judie Stoller.
"I'm not putting her out on the streets."
Get rid of the kid.
Get a pit bull instead.
This is a sad situation but they knew the rules. If they arre allowed to violate them why would anyone else follow them.
I do think they can give an extension so they can sell the home
but rules are rules
I think the HOA rule is unenforceable. It is illegal discrimination on the basis of age.
Yet another great example for why HOA's should be banned.
I have to agree with you.
The courts took the girl and gave her to the grandparents. The courts can settle this................
Cute little girl. But if the grandparents of that sweety signed a contract prohibiting her, they should find a new place to live that's more kid-friendly. A lot of elderly folks don't appreciate whooping, yelling, adventurous kids (and you know she has friends over, she's a kid after all). They just want a quiet place to live out their years—otherwise, they'd be living in a child-filled subdivision.
so they were supposed to say no to their grandaughter and throw her into foster care because of a rule in an old folks home? get real.
The news video stated that the grandparents offered to sell the house at below market price but the HOA disallowed that because they claimed it would bring down other home prices.
If this girl was a US flag that was not allowed per the rules would you still agree?................
They should have put their up for sale 5 yrs ago.
That being said, hopefully the judge will give them more time to sell their home
Not much of an excuse. While they won't get as much for their property, they won't have to spend as much for a another one either.
Then sue the HOA to force them to buy the home at what they claim the market value is.
Stupid, discriminatory rules are to be ignored.
Are you saying then that all "senior" communities are illegal? And if so, based on "ageism", wouldn't that make all senior discounts illegal too?
People buy houses in no-kids-allowed retirement communities, because they want to live where there are no kids living.
It's a free country (somewhat still), and people still (somewhat) have a right to freely associate with people they want to associate with (you can't avoid living with people of another race than you, at least formally, because we don't really believe in liberty anymore).
If the grandparents didn't mind living with other kids, they should have bought a house in a community that allowed kids.
If they DID NOT want to live with other kids when it was someone else's kids, then they are just getting what they forced on others.
That said, I imagine this is more common than not.
Trust me, a US flag would not begin to cause a ruckus that would compare to what a healthy, exuberant child can cause. And just wait until she's a teenage, and starts bringing her gangster boyfriends over.
True, but they may be upside down due to the housing crash and have to come up with a lot of cash to sell.
I find it hard to believe the HOA has the authority to set prices. I've never seen such a clause, but this is florida, so maybe there's something more to it.
"For some reason, there's a few, just a few who don't want Kimberly. And I just don't get it," said Judie Stottler."
This is just a device to get readers on the side of "poor Kim."
I am pretty sure that all people living in that community signed papers on entry wherein they agreed that there will be no children living with them. If the community chose to overlook for a while the violation of the contract, that does not make the contract less valid. These grandparents have a duty to their neighbors.
I hate HOA's and people with no fricking common sense.
what defines a newbie?
back to topic
the girl had lived there for nearly 5 years which would have also been at the top of the housing market
Again I think an extension can be given but rules are rules and they have violated the rules for 5 years
The girl has been living there for 5 and a half years. That predates the market crash.
Actually, there is a carve-out in the law for retirement communities.
Too many grandmas raising 50 kids from their no-good children.
Then the HOA will lose. The gransparents tried the only reasonable action. And the HOA blocked them.
"I hate HOAs and people with no fricking common sense."
I agree.
But I also hate trailers and crap parked on the street, etc.
In places where I have lived, laws banning age discrimination made an exception for senior housing.
Age requirement 55 and over are protected by federal law.
It doesn't say what age she went to live with the grandparents, but only that she was a "baby". Assuming that means less than 1yo, they've had 5 years to reconcile themselves with the rules they had to acknowledge when they moved in.
Including 3+ years of real estate boom time.
I favor some time for them to get things squared away, but they are clearly negligent in their compliance with the rules.
RWGinger is right, no matter his or her newbie status. You are wrong.
Then the excuse would have been that a replacement home was too expensive.
I'm sorry, but these folks entered into an agreement so that they could feel 'exclusive'. agreements mean something and cannot be shoved aside for convenience sake. it's not the kid's fault that granny and grampy wanted to live where everybody (ELSE) didn't have children running around, but a deal is a deal.
that said, I think HOA's stink.
They knew the HOA rules when they first purchased the house.
The market was at an all time high 5 years ago, they could have sold the house and moved when the grandchild arrived.
They thought the rules did not apply to them.
Retirement communities do not want young children in them. When I retire to a community such as this one, I want to enjoy the common recreational facilities without screaming kids running around.
Everybody these days just walks away, if that's the case.
I do think they can give an extension so they can sell the home
but rules are rules
Correct. If this young girl is allowed to stay then how can any other child or anyone else under the age allowed as called for in the by laws be denied?
I happen to live in a 55 and over retirement Community and I frankly wouldn't want a bunch of screaming kids or worse, drag racing drunk teenagers bouncing around the community
anyway, these people didn't ask for the kid, but they took her. to ask someone to sell their house because they had a child thrust upon them is a little silly, IMHO.
yes, it may be against the big bad old folks home's rules, but sometimes you just have to take the totality of the circumstances into account. you think everybody who breaks the law goes to jail just because they are eligible to?
they are trying to sell but it's not really economically possible right now. and they say that it is a vocal minority who do not want this kid around.
but to me, the point to this is that they got this kid involuntarily. they are doing the right thing.
Maybe some should be.
They have had this child since she was a baby. The HOA has known for 6 years of this little girls presence. Now they want to enforce the rules? HOA'a are Nazi organizations. I still can't believe how anti child some of the Freepers are.
please see my post #42.
i see charity and understanding of people's circumstances have taken a vacation day here at FR.
Yes, the argument that this situation has existed for ultiple years does in fact cut both ways.
I wonder what the rest of the real story is.
Ps - I HATE HOAs, too.
That may be so but its not the path of honest and ethical people.
What an idiotic thing to say. Asking for a contract to be honored is not anti-child. Preferring the quiet surroundings of a retirement community is not anti-child. Those people had 5 years to make other living arrangements for themselves. Instead, they chose to violate their contract, and the peace and serenity of the community—which, by the way, showed remarkable patience in waiting this long for them to get right with their contract.
Some people pay a LOT to live in such communities—and you're saying they don't have the right to the amenities promised them in their contracts? What liberal truck did you fall off of?
The problem here is that many retirement communities enjoy reduced property taxes based on not being a burden on the school system.
There is no easy answer to this one.
Exactly. The HOA gave up the rule already and can't enforce it now just because the child is growing up. They allowed the child in already. Should be a done deal unless there was an agreement about how long or to what age the child could live there.

Woman Killed Husband's Puppy To Fake A MiscarriageMay 23, 2016 at 12:09 pm by Morbid
LAWRENCE COUNTY, AL – The details in this article couldn't get more Alabama if it tried. A woman is in jail after she killed her husband's puppy so she could fake a miscarriage.
Police say 43-year-old Anita Parker had been faking a pregnancy for the last seven months, going as far as pretending to go to doctor's appointments and sending her husband ultrasounds of the baby's progress.
"I guess she pushed her belly out all the time, because she looked like she was," said Johnny Parker.
Parker knew that her ruse was going to need an end-game, so she decided she would simply fake a miscarriage. When her husband came home on Wednesday, he found his wife on the bed covered in blood, along with some kind of body tissue.
She claimed she had a miscarriage and had flushed the stillborn down the toilet. The couple went to the hospital where doctors pulled him to the side and informed him that his wife had never been pregnant so there was no way she had a miscarriage.…
John Salers Pleaded Guilty To Hanging His 9-Year-Old Sister From TreeDecember 23, 2015 at 10:09 am by Morbid
RAGLAND, AL – John Salers has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after the 18-year-old pleaded guilty to murdering his 9-year-old half-sister by hanging her from a tree in their yard.
We first reported on Salers back in 2012 after he was taken into custody following the discovery of his half-sister, Katelynn Arnold, hanging dead from a tree in her family's backyard.
When Arnold did not return home from a bicycle ride in the neighborhood, her aunt went looking for her. She did not find her until she returned home and checked the backyard.
That's where the 9-year-old was found hanging from a tree by her neck with an old tire swing rope.
The following day, police would take Salers into custody and charged him with capital murder. Only 14-years-old at the time, the teen admitted to police that he intentionally killed his half-sister by hanging her from the tree.
He reportedly gave police a possible motive for wanting to kill the girl, but it was not revealed at the time.…
Police Have Charged 8-Year-Old Boy With Murder In Beating Death Of BabyNovember 11, 2015 at 9:55 am by Caustic
BIRMINGHAM, AL – Police in Alabama have charged an 8-year-old boy with the beating death of a 1-year-old girl.
Katerra Lewis, 26, was staying at a friend's house with her only child, 1-year-old Kelci Lewis, while waiting for section 8 housing to open up for her. On Oct 11, Katerra and her friend left their children – ages 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 – home alone so they could go to a nightclub.
These classy bitches left at 11:30 p.m. and did not return until almost three hours later. During that time, Kelci was beat to death. Her body was discovered in her crib at around 10:45 the following morning. While I'm no expert, I think it's safe to assume that means she was never checked on when the women returned home.
Birmingham police spokesman, Lt Sean Edwards, confirmed that there were obvious signs of trauma to the baby and stated the 8-year-old boy in the home is responsible.
"It is believed that while the mother and friend were at the club, the 8-year-old viciously attacked the 1-year-old because the 1-year-old would not stop crying," Edwards said, "The 1-year-old suffered from severe head trauma as well as major internal organ damage which ultimately led to her death."
After the boy beat the shit out of the baby, he put her back into her crib where she stayed until being found the next morning.…
Russell Meyers Accused Of Having Sex With German Shepard Multiple TimesAugust 5, 2015 at 1:17 pm by Morbid
PHIL CAMPBELL, AL – Russell Meyers was arrested and charged with having sex with his German Shepard after he accidentally left the sounds of him having sex with the dog on a friend's voicemail.
After the person listened to Meyers making sweet, sweet love to his lady friend, they stopped retching long enough to report the call to police.
When police spoke with Meyers, the former carnival worker admitted he'd had sex with his female German Shepherd multiple times inside the shed he lived in.
Meyers was arrested and charged with four counts of bestiality, one count of possession of marijuana and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia. His bond was set at $6,000 and he was ordered not to have contact with his neighbor, animals or firearms.
Meyers was charged under a new state law that just went into effect a year ago. This new law makes bestiality a Class A misdemeanor and, if the district attorney can prove that Meyer's motivation for fucking his dog was a sexual one, he would have to register as a sex offender.…
Mother, Boyfriend Charged After Toddler Found Dead In Pool Of Her Own VomitAugust 5, 2015 at 9:12 am by Morbid
TRAFFORD, AL – Police have arrested 23-year-old Misty Wright and her boyfriend, 39-year-old Johnathon Talley, after Wright's 3-year-old daughter was found unconscious in a pool of her own vomit.
On Monday, Wright and Talley called 911 after finding Jettie Adams laying in a pool of vomit on a mattress on the porch of their trailer. Paramedics rushed the girl to the hospital where she would be pronounced dead.
An autopsy would reveal the girl died from severe internal injuries – the result of being repeatedly struck in the chest, abdomen and head.
"She was hit was such force her intestines were damaged," said Chief Deputy Randy Christian, adding that she likely suffered a long, painful death all alone after going out to the porch to lie down on the mattress where she stayed all night. "It's the saddest case I can recall."
Several children found living in the trailer were placed into the custody of the Department of Human Resources. Neighbors say they didn't know the family well, but the law is very familiar with Talley.…
Stephen Hutcheson Accused of Murdering Family Then Partying With GirlfriendJuly 2, 2015 at 8:12 am by Lizard
UPDATE – The body of Stephen Hutcheson was found yesterday (July 4) in a wooded area near Adger, AL. Authorities responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle that had been in the location for several days discovered the 2005 Dodge Stratus with Hutcheson inside. He appears to have died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
MCCALLA, AL – Authorities are searching for 47-year-old Stephen "Hut" Sean Hutcheson after his wife and two children were found shot to death on Sunday.
Deputies were called to the Hutcheson home early Sunday evening by a relative who was concerned since family members hadn't heard from the Hutchesons. After making a forced entry into the home, they would find the bodies of 49-year-old Doris, shot twice in the head, and 14-year old Kimberly, who was shot once in the head and once in the face.
Both are suspected to have been asleep, but it's being reported that 12-year-old Peyton probably was awake at the time of his murder. He was shot twice in the face and once in the neck; he was found on the couch.…
Jonathan Medley Accused Of Having Revenge Sex With Wife's DogJune 17, 2015 at 10:40 am by Lizard
UPDATE – While it does appear that Medley had some sort of "sexual contact" with Buster, there is now doubt that he (to put it directly but crudely) anally raped Buster, as Buster was seen by a veterinarian and found to be in good shape. This is not what you'd expect had a 5- to 10-pound dog been penetrated by a grown man's penis.
I just made myself gag. And then I laughed while the word "micropenis" danced about in my head.
GENEVA, AL – You could say that 39-year-old Jonathan Medley screwed the pooch, but if you want to be completely accurate, you'd instead say that he got caught fucking his wife's dog.
Probably no one would've known that Medley was spending time making sweet, sweet love to the canine had his wife not suspected he was having an affair and set up a recording device. Instead of catching him with another woman, she caught him with her dog.
Can you imagine coming home and watching/listening to the recording of your spouse going hard and heavy with your dog?…
Tyler Blansit Admits Killing Mom With Baseball Bat In Argument Over Bad GradesJune 1, 2015 at 10:45 am by Morbid
MENTONE, AL – A small town in Alabama had its first homicide in 25 years after 22-year-old Tyler Blansit admitted he beat his mother to death with a baseball bat after arguing about grades.
When police first arrived at the home after receiving a 911 call from Blansit, a student at University of Alabama-Birmingham who had come home after the spring semester ended.
Blansit claimed that he and his mother had been attacked, and that he sustained scratches and a knot on the head. His mother, 45-year-old Sherry Blansit, was found dead in the backyard after someone used a baseball bat to cave her skull in.
When they got Blansit to the Sherriff's Office to be interviewed, it wasn't long before he admitted he was the one responsible for his other's murder. He confessed to using the bat to beat the poor lady to death after they got into an argument over his college grades.
Blansit was arrested and charged with his mother's murder. He's currently in the DeKalb County Jail.…
Marine Veteran Eric Price Accused Of Gunning Down His Wife At Doctor's OfficeApril 14, 2015 at 8:22 am by Morbid
JEMISON, AL – Authorities charged Eric "Heath" Price with murder after he shot and killed his wife inside a doctor's office before turning the gun on himself.
Leaj Price, 24, got into a a domestic situation with her husband that got so bad she felt the need to run from the home and to a doctor's office next door. She was frantically trying to get in while screaming for someone to call the police.
Dr. Jay Patel went to the main entrance and found Leaj struggling with her husband, 26-year-old Eric "Heath" Price. "He wouldn't let go of her hand and he just stood at the doorway," Patel adds.
Patel said Eric Price threatened him with a gun, so he locked a dozen other patients and employees in a back room. "Before anything could happen, I heard a pop then I heard her stop screaming," Patel says.
After shooting Leaj in the head, Eric walked back to the couple's rental home next door and staged a standoff with police that lasted several hours.…
Cassie Townsend Charged After Toddler Dies From Drinking Soda Spiked With MethadoneMarch 12, 2015 at 9:49 am by Morbid
BESSEMER, AL – Bessemer police have charged Cassie Townsend after the two-year-old she was caring for died from drinking a grape soda spiked with the woman's methadone.
Police say that around 1 a.m. Saturday morning, Townsend rushed Demonie Hendon to the hospital after realizing the grape soda she spiked with methadone was missing and Hendon was acting sick.
For those of you unaware, methadone is a medication that reduces withdrawal symptoms in people addicted to heroin or other narcotic drugs. It allows the addict to get high without the associated drug addiction. Methadone is normally not supposed to leave the clinic from where it is dispensed.
By time Hendon was admitted to the hospital, he was unresponsive and placed on life support. Townsend, who is the boy's aunt or godmother, bonded out of jail after initially being charged with chemical endangerment of a child that morning.
However, Hendon was taken off of life support on Monday, and Townsend was arrested again, charged with chemical endangerment resulting in death. Townsend is currently in the Jefferson County Jail on a $60,000 bond.…
Hiawatha Robinson Accused Of Killing His 8-Year-Old Daughter While Sexually Assaulting HerDecember 19, 2014 at 11:29 am by Morbid
MOBILE, AL – Police have arrested 38-year-old Hiawatha Robinson, accusing him of killing his 8-year-old daughter while engaged in the act of sodomy.
In September, Hiawayi Robinson was reported missing after leaving her father's home to walk to her aunt's and never arriving. In news reports at the time, Robinson can be seen with his ex-wife pleading with the public for help in finding his daughter.
Hiawayi would be found dead behind an abandoned building two days later. Now, two months later, police have charged Robinson with the girl's death, claiming he killed her while he was sexually assaulting her.
Authorities arrested Robinson on Tuesday and charged him with first-degree sodomy and murder. In Alabama, the first degree sodomy charge means someone is accused of engaging in 'deviant sexual intercourse' with someone under the age of 12.
"Deviant sexual intercourse is defined in the law of the state of Alabama as sexual gratification involving the sexual organs of one person and the mouth or the anus of another person," Rich said.…
Two Years Probation For Couple "Too High" To Save Child Who Swallowed Dishwashing Detergent TabletDecember 17, 2014 at 8:48 am by Morbid
MADISON COUNTY, AL – A couple accused of being "too high" to save their 18-month-old daughter after she ate a dishwashing detergent tablet were sentenced to two years of probation.
Back in 2012, the daughter of Kristopher Speigner and Joy Lynn Speigner died after ingesting a dish washing detergent tablet. They did not call for help until the following morning because, according to police, they were "too high and too drunk" to do anything to save her.
Almost a year later, they were both arrested and charged with negligent homicide and ordered held on $6000 bond. They made bail, but failed to appear for their bench trial in September and a judge issued a warrant for their arrest.
"Last time we had a court date, we continued it, but they were still required to be here and they didn't show up at that time," explained ADA Jason Scully-Clemmons. "I felt it had to do with the fact they knew it was gonna be continued, and so that was not much of a big deal.…
Boy Scout Accidentally Hangs Self With Rope Used To Earn Badge For Knot TyingOctober 13, 2014 at 8:25 am by Morbid
ONEONTA, AL – A 10-year-old Boy Scout accidentally hanged himself with the rope he was using to earn a merit badge for knot tying.
A.J. Underwood was found by his mother hanging from the practice rope in his bedroom Friday night. She got him down and carried him outside screaming for help.
A neighbor performed CPR until paramedics arrived, but A.J. would be pronounced dead at St. Vincent's Blount hospital a short time later. Investigators believe the boy's death was a freak accident.
"We had been learning how to tie rope, tie knots in ropes in Boy Scouts," said A.J.'s aunt, Dana Wiesman. "He came into the house and had unpacked his Boy Scout bag, and he went in his room and was apparently playing with the rope and slipped and got caught in it."
A.J. was a student at Oneonta Elementary School and leaves behind three sisters and his mother. Wiseman said the family isn't doing well, but that the outpouring of community support is helping them get through it minute by minute.…
Teen Raped In School Bathroom After Teacher Uses Her As Bait In Sting OperationSeptember 19, 2014 at 1:14 pm by Morbid
HUNTSVILLE, AL – Here's a crazy story you may not have been aware of regarding a 14-year-old girl who was raped by another student with a history of violence and sexual harassment.
That's bad enough. But the kicker is that the girl had been sent to the bathroom as bait in a sting orchestrated by a teacher trying to catch the boy in the act.
First, here's a bit of background. Teachers at Sparkman Middle School were having a lot of problems dealing with a 16-year-old boy at the school. The kid wasn't demonstrating your standard juvenile hijinks; he was violent and sexually aggressive towards female students.
Here's a quick rundown of some of the issues school administration has had with the teen, starting after a 2008 suspension for hitting a student:
Feb 2009 – Suspended for "sexual harassment."
Apr 2009 – Received in-school suspension for disrespecting a teacher.
Sep 2009 – Suspended for trying to pay another student to beat up a girl
Oct 2009 – Banned from school bus for 10 days and given three days in-school suspension for telling off school bus driver.…
Timothy Jones Jr Admits To Killing His Five Children, Dumping Their BodiesSeptember 10, 2014 at 8:22 am by Morbid
LEXINGTON COUNTY, SC – Police have arrested 32-year-old Timothy Jones Jr in connection to the death of his five children, whose bodies were discovered in trash bags along a rural road in Alabama.
Police believe Jones killed his five children, between the ages of 1 and 8, then drove to Alabama where he dumped their bodies on a dirt road in a rural area. The kids had been reported missing by their mother on Sept. 3.
Jones was pulled over at a motor vehicle checkpoint in Smith County, Mississippi. He became agitated when a deputy questioned him about an odor of chemicals coming from his Cadillac Escalade. When the deputy searched Jones' vehicle, he found chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamine and some Spice.
Even worse, officers found what appeared to be bleach, muriatic acid, blood and possible body fluids inside the vehicle. A quick background check on Jones revealed he was wanted in South Carolina "regarding a welfare concern of his children," who were on a national missing persons list.
It was at this point Jones admitted he'd killed his five children and led officers to their decomposed bodies along a logging road in Alabama.…
Police Capture Man Who Raped Mother And Her 8-Year-Old DaughterJuly 30, 2014 at 1:13 pm by Morbid
OZARK, AL – After a four day manhunt, police have captured 44-year-old David Pitts, the man accused of raping a woman and her 8-year-old daughter at knife-point.
Pitts was arrested at a Boynton Beach, Florida hospital without incident after the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office received a tip that he was being treated there.
Four days earlier, Pitts fled from Ozark, Alabama after he was accused of raping a 30-year-old woman and her 8-year-old daughter. The woman said Pitts lived nearby, but was inside her home when she arrived with her daughter Thursday evening.
He reportedly abducted them at knife point and made the woman drive her car to a secluded location 10 miles away. He then raped the woman at gunpoint and made her daughter watch. After he was finished, he allegedly made the woman watch as he raped her little girl.
Pitts held the mother and daughter until the next morning, at which time he forced the woman to drive to a residential area where he jumped out and ran.…
Aunt Makes Up Boy On Facebook To Spy On Niece, Who Asks Boy To Kill Her AuntJune 11, 2014 at 1:42 pm by Morbid
FOSTERS, AL – Police say 19-year-old Marissa Williams asked a boy she met on Facebook to kill her aunt and uncle, not realizing the boy was actually her aunt who'd created the profile to spy on her.
According to court records, Williams' aunt created the fake profile after Williams blocked her on Facebook. The teen did not like the fact that her aunt could see her online activities, activities that included asking random men she met to come to her aunt's house.
To continue keeping tabs on her niece, the woman created a fake Facebook profile – Tre 'Topdog' Ellis – so that she could friend her and see what she was up to online. On the very first day that Williams interacted with Ellis, she asked him to come over and get drunk before offering up her poonani in exchange for a paid cell phone bill.
She later told Ellis she hated her family and wanted him to kidnap her. As the conversations continued, this plan got more detailed and included Ellis shooting her aunt and her aunt's fiance in the bedroom, then shooting her cousin and the family dog on the way out.…
Couple Accused Of Hanging Puppy From Ceiling, Posting Pics On FacebookJanuary 14, 2014 at 2:50 pm by Morbid
VALLEY GRANDE, AL – The couple who posted pictures on Facebook of their puppy hanging from the ceiling have been charged with animal cruelty.
Last November, 26-year-old Caroline Dunnam and 23-year-old Andrew Parrish posted a picture of a two-month-old puppy hanging from the ceiling by its neck with the caption: "My poor baby." As you might expect, people were not too happy with the picture, but Dunnam said she didn't give a shit what people thought about hanging a puppy by the neck with a rope.
She's may be regretting it now, especially after the picture went viral and someone tipped off police to the Facebook post. The mixed-breed puppy was removed from the home and the couple have now been charged with animal cruelty.
"They decided that they were going to hang a dog from the ceiling by its neck. The poor dog was hanging from the ceiling with some kind of rope around its neck," said District Attorney Michael Jackson. "What their motivation was, we don't know at this point.…

Bike riders for sure. I recall racing at a track in France in 1969, when, in their infinite wisdom they decided to have open practice for everyone, cars and bikes. I came up behind a bike in my NSU TTS as he leaned over into the corner, I did not know at the time that bike race tire would allow the bike to be either straight up or very quickly leaned over into the corner. Needless to say that when the rider leaned into the corner, as I was setting myself up for a power slide (that's the way I drove rear engined cars) I just about filled my pants as I thought the SOB was going down. I went into the pits the next lap, expressed my opinion to the organisers and waited for the next car only qualification (and looking for a clean pair of shorts) :-)

From my days of bike riding, on the roads - not racing, you have confirmed that most car drivers have no idea of how bikers do it.

#Photohunt Event Tomorrow! by AshleyxBrookeWatch
©2013-2016 AshleyxBrooke
I had planned on participating but real life is interfering. Am on my iPhone while hubby is getting IVs to stabilize his heart rythym. He will be transferred to a hospital when a bed becomes available. Alas that means no chat for me,as hubby comes first.
I understand! Hope he is ok!
He is still in the hospital. Will have a stress test tomorrow. The situation is making me a nervous wreck. But, that is what wives do, they worry. I've been worrying about him for the last forty-years!
Aww Hope everything goes well love! Keep me posted
He is home now, after getting IVs for three days, including a blood thinner, and have two cat scans, chemical-stress test, chest x-rays aside from the cat scan and loads of blood work. His blood pressure medication dosage doubled, and instead of a baby aspirin he has to take a full-sized aspirin. He really gave us a scare.
Glad he is ok!
Oh, God, me too. My heart has been in my throat for days. We have been married a long time and have been through a lot together, including the loss of our son, but realizing how much we take decent health for granted made this incident a real eye opener. You would think we would have learned when hubby nearly died eight-years ago, and yet we had again become complacent. Health is not something to get complacent about!
This sounds really fun!

His critics derided this nuclear vision as a utopian fantasy, and claimed that US nuclear policy declarations were unlikely to have positive effects on other governments. But a careful analysis suggests otherwise.

Step 3: Insert The Fan
Tilt the fan into the opening, and screw one lip of the housing to the bottom edge of a joist. If there isn't a joist in the right spot, get a helper to hold the fan from below while you attach brackets to the faces of two joists from above (see Step 4). If you can't access the fan from above, enlarge the ceiling hole enough for you to reach in and attach the brackets from below.

This very excellent symposium written in Spanish was initiated from discussions at the National Congress of Pediatrics. It consists of three parts, the first deals with the physiology and metabolism of dehydration and fluid balance. The second part discusses the diagnostic problems involved, and the last part deals with the various forms of therapy. This is very fully discussed, including various solutions and their physiological actions. The charts are excellent, and there is a very complete biography. This makes excellent reading for anyone interested in the subject.

Did you mean?Try your search again
Hi everyone,
I recently booked a ticket from Tel-Aviv, Israel to Funchal,Madeira, with a connection at Madrid barajas.
I booked the ticket via a travel agency and the operating airline is Iberia , however, i'm a little concerned about the transfer time from terminal 4 to 4S- my flight lands in Madrid at 10:40 at terminal 4, then the flight to Funchal,Madeira departs at 11:35 at terminal 4s, totalling about one hour between touch down and take off, a timeframe within which I have to get from the plane to the departure gate.
I've done my homework and read about the underground 5 minute train, but ideally I'd really like to have an account of someone who's faced the same transfer; is it possible in one hour ? I'd just like to know it this is a /possible/ amount of time, so as to know if I should get a train down instead, i dont know any thing about barajas and how it goes
I'd be very grateful for any information anyone can bring to the matter.
Thanks to all who read :)
We have seen a reasonably priced flight with Aegean Air which arrives just after midnight on a week night.
Will there likely be problems or dangers getting to our city hotel from the airport at that time of night?
Would extra cost of an earlier arrival be worth it?

Case Conclusion Date: 07.15.2011
Practice Area: Employment and labor
Outcome: $3,200,000 Verdict at Trial
Description: Former-judge sexually harassed female employees. He was sued under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 for sexual harassment and equal protection violations, and also under state law for intentional infliction of emotional distress. The jury deliberated for 3 1/2 hours.


text: The new proprietors of Tavern on the Green are racing to open in time for New Year's Eve, and aside from the handsome new website and logo, The New York Times Magazine reports on how Jim Caiola and David Salama of the Emerald Green Group, along with chef Katy Sparks, considered and reconsidered every wood panel, dinner plate, goblet, fork, tabletop surface, door hinge, and lightbulb that went into the revamped Central Park restaurant. The feature, part of the magazine's annual blockbuster "Food & Drink" issue this weekend, also includes a fun little slideshow dedicated to the origin story of the new logo and its inspiration — Caiola says the crestlike design feels "timeless, but also contemporary."

Hello again. Great plugin.
It seems to remove all HTML formatting from the posts. Removal of HTML formatting is fine for RSS Feed, but it is NOT OK to remove HTML for blog pages or any other pages that the plugin is excerpting on. Would it be possible to provide an option keep HTML formatting and any HTML generated by short-codes as an option (if possible 2 separate options) ?
This way the plugin would behave exactly like the <more> tag which I don't want to use.

I use wpbackup successfully on two sites. My third site does not complete the backup and leaves behind the running file and the .sql file which is not put into the zip file. All backups are with the same host (GoDaddy) and all are weekly backups done on different days.
Even with just the one site running a backup, I still had the same problem.
Any idea what I can do to or look at to fix this?
Thank You for your time and effort and a great program.

TAPS travels to Estes Park, Colorado to investigate the Stanley Hotel made famous by the movie The Shining.

Lead Investigator
Steve Gonsalves
Tech Manager
Brian Harnois

Case Manager
According to the date embedded in the thermal camera's footage, this investigation took place on February 21-23, 2006.
Also Appearing:
Investigation: The Stanley Hotel - Estes Park, Colorado
Billy Ward - Concierge
Sandy Murphy - Food and Beverage Director
Krishanthi Fernando - Night Auditor
Nancy Baker - Controller
The Stanley Hotel is the first location in which TAPS investigated for more than one night. The team also stayed in some of the allegedly haunted rooms, and were thus able to continue investigating even after they went to sleep.
The cameraman who witnesses the table and chair move next to Grant is Kendall Whelpton.
When Jason's glass shatters, the entire lips breaks away from the rest of the glass, as well as having a chip knock out. The separation of the top of the glass from the bottom is consistent with the kind of breakage that occurs when it undergoes an extreme temperature differential- for example, when a glass is removed from a dishwasher it will be over 170 F and then if immediately filled with ice, taking it to 32 F, they often break in that way. Chips like the one that fell out of the glass onto the table are not common, but if the glass had a flaw in that area, it's possible it could have resulted in a chip of that kind. How such a temperature differential could have happened to the glass is unclear, however.
Donna: So you guys will actually be going to the hotel in the same conditions that they were in the movie.
Grant: Yeah, fantastic. As long as Jay doesn't get crazy with an axe and start running around.
Brian: Jason doesn't trust me or anything, which is fine. I don't blame him for that. It'd be nice to get back to where I was, but I probably never will. So I just gotta take it one day at a time.
Brian: This place is spooky! Can't complain, it's what I do for a living. But when you're by yourself, it pretty much freaks you out.
Jason: (trying to communicate with the spirit of a homeless woman) Hello, Miss Homeless Lady?
Grant: It's nice and warm in here.
Jason: Toasty.
Grant: Cold outside.
Jason: Brought you a cracker.
Jason: (wielding an axe) We're gonna hunt some ghosts.
Grant: Geez, I'd hate to be a ghost right about now!
Jason: You know, I'll be honest with you; every part of me didn't want to see you come back. But then this has been your passion when you've got your head screwed on straight. I know this is what you love doing.
Brian: It is, this is what I live for. It's my dream to do this stuff with you guys.
Brian: (to Jason) It really sunk in, when I came back, it was an opportunity that wasn't supposed to be there. You know, you didn't have to do that, you know what I mean? And now I know I was at the bottom of the barrel and I don't ever want to get back down there.
Grant: Of course it's disappointing that the moment you catch something amazing is the moment that your guard is down. But it does happen. This field is unpredictable, sometimes chaotic. The only way you can increase your odds of catching something is to try and try again.
This episode is listed under the title "The Stanley Hotel" at the official Ghost Hunters website.
The team is told a story about a young woman who stayed in room 412 who suddenly began acting strangely, claiming that something was attempting to possess her, and was violent with those who attempted to aid her, despite having no alcohol or drugs in her system. When TAPS revisits the location for their "Live Halloween Special", Donna adds another interesting detail to the story- the supposed "possession" occurred on Halloween night of 2005, and the woman had left the Hotel's Halloween party (which is themed to pay tribute to The Shining every year) a half an hour before it took place. A parapsychologist would undoubtedly note that the power of suggestion of a supposed haunted location coupled with a party dedicated to celebrating the supernatural would be very strong, and if a person was highly suggestible, they might feel something that they attributed to a paranormal source, and hysteria could do the rest.
The Stanley Hotel has been the subject of a number of other TV show ghost investigations. It's been investigated by TAPS on Ghost Hunters a number of times, including the third season Live episode "Live From The Stanley" and the follow-up "Best Of The Stanley Hotel". It was also used by the TAPS spin-off show Ghost Hunters Academy for the final episode of the second of cadets "Finals At The Stanley". It has also been featured on the British paranormal TV show Most Haunted in its eleventh season episode "The Stanley Hotel". Later, it was investigated by the Ghost Adventures Crew for their fourth season episode "Stanley Hotel".
This episode ran 90 minutes when it was first aired on the Sci-Fi Channel.
Jason: (brandishing an axe) Here's Jason!
The Stanley Hotel, being the site which inspired Stephen King's book The Shining, is frequently alluded to by various TAPS members. Here Jason is reenacting a scene from the movie in which Jack Torrance (played by Jack Nicholson), driven insane by the hotel's evil spirits, goes on a rampage wielding an axe. As he does so he says, "Here's Johnny!", which is in itself a reference to The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson Show, which introduced Carson with that catchphrase.

Ray-Ban Sunglasses
Ray-Ban SunglassesIconic Sunglasses with a Variety of Styles
Ray-Ban has set the standard in the premium sunglasses market and is by far the most recognizable designer brand in the world. Style, tradition, and freedom of expression are the key values underpinning the philosophy of Ray-Ban. Known around the world for the absolute quality and authenticity of its eyewear, Ray-Ban continue to grow in popularity among celebrities and trendsetters.
Beginning in the 1930s, Ray-Ban's brand was introduced through Aviator sunglasses that eliminated glare for US Air Force pilots while flying. It wasn't long before the popularity of Ray-Ban spread from pilots to anyone with an outdoor lifestyle.
The Retro-Wingtip sunglasses model was launched in 1952, and once they had been seen on screen legends such as James Dean in 1955's Rebel Without a Cause and later on Audrey Hepburn in 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany's, Ray-Ban Retro-Wingtip became one of the most instantly recognizable fashion accessories ever. Through every decade of its existence, Ray-Ban has shaped popular culture. And now, 75 years after the first pairs of Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses helped US pilots reach new heights, Ray-Ban remains an enduring classic.

I'm sure everyone has been annoyed by a cluttered, slow and ugly shell menu after you install some apps, so I was wondering if there is a way to remove some entries from appearing in the shell menu. For example:
This is my shell menu, and I don't want entries like WinRAR for security essentials to appear there. Is there any way to get rid of them? I know some apps have built in settings to disable this but some don't.
