Punta Gorda bicyclist hit, killed by car

A 53-year-old Punta Gorda man was hit by a car and killed while riding a bicycle on Tamiami Trail early Monday evening, authorities said.
Christopher Weems was pronounced dead at the scene.
The incident unfolded shortly before 5 p.m. in Port Charlotte, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Weems was riding a bicycle northbound on Tamiami, approaching Main Street, when he tried to turn left across the roadway, troopers reported. As he did so, he crossed into the path of a 2008 Ford driven by Pamela Ann Corlieto, 48, of Cape Coral.
Corlieto's car hit Weems, knocking him from the bike, according to reports. She sustained minor injuries and was taken to Charlotte Regional Medical Center for treatment.
No charges have been filed, troopers reported, while an investigation is ongoing.

If this Thanksgiving is anything like last, about one out of 10 Americans will be traveling to spend time with family and friends. (Last year, AAA projected 42.5 million Americans would travel during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.)
While I've never had the personal "pleasure" of flying during the Thanksgiving holiday, I've certainly heard enough stories to keep me grounded whenever possible. Flight delays and lost luggage have a way of deflating the Thanksgiving spirit.
Now, I can't solve the whole flight delay thing – after all, weather's weather – but I can offer some hope for the weary traveler who's ever lost a piece of luggage: consider shipping your luggage.

Bob Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival 2002. Show review.
Here's the review a couple of you requested.
I drove to Newport by myself. Not sure how to get to where I needed to be, but I had a cell phone incase I got TOO lost.
When I got into Newport all I had to do was follow the signs to the Newport Folk Festival.
Paid $6 to park in a field that was about a mile away from the event.
picture it:
A fort. Outside....right off of the water. Boats everywhere trying to peep a free show. HOT. I jump off a dock into the water with a couple friends to cool off. Cassie, Argot and his friend met me there. Folk singers I didn't know were singing in the background to fill in the space before the D-man hit the stage. sun beating down on my fair, fair skin. almost time for dilly to hit the stage.
thousands and thousands and thousands of people there. tens of thousands. Mostly families and really rich whities I guess. I don't know, but they weren't a crowd i enjoy being around, that's for sure.
We head to the front of the stage. we look for pockets of space in the crowd an hour before his performance.
now dig this...all these old whities...with their fat, bratty kids...sprawled out on the ground...taking up mad amounts of space sitting back in their LAWNCHAIRS. I decide to stand right up in front with my 3 friends. Now...we're just standing there at first....and I'm under the understanding that by the time Dylan starts performing this whole area is going to become crowded, forcing everyone to stand....so I didn't feel a need to pretend like I would be sitting down. This dad sitting with his bitch-wife and two piglets behind me was like "oh no no...this won't work." I ignored him at first. The back of my shirt says "That's Right...Fuck You"
The dude stands up...his wife makes the bitchiest face I have seen since my highschool teachers...he goes onto explain how we aren't allowed there and blah blah blah. and I'm like "Listen man...everyone is going to be standing. I paid $60 for my ticket. Y'all have a lot of nerve thinking you can take up all this space sitting down in your chairs when people want to see the concert." i don't think i was that eloquent but that was the jist of what I said. Him and his wife went on to explain how they've been sitting there all day and they deserve this space and we are assholes for obstructing their view...infringing on their space. He said "You have to leave." I looked back and said "We're not leaving...and this is the end of the discussion." I felt like an adult when I said it. It was so definite. and he sat down shaking his head...and he really couldn't deal with being defeated in front of his wife and kids so he starts to call for security. "Oh yeah...you're outta here, buddy. They're coming for you."
I said, "That would be really unfortunate. You know...I am a music lover. I'm here to dig the show."
"I'm a music lover too," he said. Then we stared at each other...faces remained unchanged...and he says "You know...you're a real asshole."
I smile....turn my head....and wait for the show to begin.
And what do you know...by the time the show is about to commence all the space is taken up and these weekend warriors behind me are standing.
We are in the third row...in front of the stage...and this lady behind me has been to every Dylan concert he's had this year. She was cool as shit. "I've never seen him in the daylight," she says.
The last time Dylan played this festival was in 1965. It's the first time we went public with the electric guitars incorporated into his sound. He did three songs and got booed. It has since been speculation whether he got booed because the folk audience disaproved of the electric guitar/rock sound or because his set was only 3 songs long. I heard murmurs of this throughout the day as I walked around the cheesey merch booths.
Whatever it was, he is here in Newport 37 years later and the crowd isn't nearly the same. I think I would prefer the elitist, hardcore folk crowd over the PTA audience but the times they have a changed. Regardless of the demographics of the crowd, one this is for sure. Almost everyone was there FOR Dylan.
He was supposed to go on stage at 5:00. From 5 until 5:30 they played this big intro music...like something you would hear at a movie theater. It was weird. They made several announcements that the next artist will not perform if he sees people taking pictures, so everyone had to put their cameras away. Yeah, ok. The whole front of the stage was laced with concert security, park security, stage security, and state cops...grilling the crowd and pointing out the people with big lensed cameras.
Then, with much built anticipation, Dylan hits the stage with 4 other band members.
The crowd erupts. Dylan and the band look cool as all hell. hahaaaa!! Dylan was wearing a white cowboy hat over LONG, STRAIGHT HAIR....tied into a pony tail in the back...with strands of hair covering the sides of his face in the front. He donned a silverish shirt with a black vest over it...and his maestro pants (as usual.) I'm telling you....this dude looked COOL. And he held his guitar like an old gun. His face was stern and embelished with a long goatee. The rest of the band looked like Beatnicks or something...in all black and exuding this "cooler than you" attitude.
He didn't say hi. He didn't check the mic. He didn't fiddle with his guitar. The music started right away and two bars into it, he steps to the mic and sang. I wasn't familliar with the first song, but two of the other band members harmonized with him on the chorus. Dylan's voice was gravelly...a bit like what Tone Loc would sound like if he sang I think. but the voice gradually got better...and tunes got more familliar. I don't know Dylan's full catalogue so I was fully expecting to hear material of his thqat was completely new to me.
This motherfucker played almost every popular song of his...but he did it in a way that people couldn't sing along. HAhahaa. he did all these new arrangements...and rushed the popular lines...said them with different rhythms and new cadences, most likely because he didn't want the show to turn into a sing-along. I'm saying...he performed The Times They Are a Changing, Tangled up in Blue, Pillbox Hat, Like a Rolling Stone, Mr Tambourine Man, Shelter from the Storm, Blowin in the Wind, and...lots of other songs. haha.
He performed for 1 and a half hours, including an encore.
The music sounded wonderful. The band was tight and they all worked together perfectly. Dylan pulled out the mouth harp a couple times much to the crowd's delight. The lady behind me clapped as much as me...and "WHOOOOOOOOOooooed" much more than me.
The set started off with acoustic guitar and then progressed into electric, and changed styles from Folk to Blues to Rock. No boo's this time around. Every 3 songs or so, the band would change guitars. Dylan would always be very careful not to knock off his white cowboy hat, but it seemed to give him trouble every time. That was fun to watch.
Now...let me make this one point clear...this guy was COOL. He was not a fossil on stage. He held his instrument like a weapon...shook his leg like Elvis at certain times...and sometimes he propped himself into random stances to accentuate whatever he was playing. A couple times he crouched down and eyed the crowd while he pointed his guitar at them. None of this was flashy or corny rock star-ish...it was cool. It was funny too...but cool funny. He would hint at a smile every so often to show that he was having fun but then he'd go right back into his straight face.
When they were finished...Dylan and the band stood in a straight line...paused long enough for the crowd to cheer them...and then exited the stage without even waving good bye.
I can't help but think this show meant something to him. It's like "I win. You know it. I know it. I am the winner. Talk about me all you want and say what you will...but you're here to celebrate what I do. I win."
hahaaa. That's the vibe I got. And i was maybe 20 feet from the stage...looking at this person who's music has been driving me for the past year or so....wishing I could hold onto the moment. It's one of those times when you are completely enjoying the moment...but you know how temporary it is, and that thought takes you out of the moment every so often. And I'm not even going to lie...I felt sad. During his first or second song a wave of sadness came over me. The situation got a little too real. Usually I'm the monkey on the stage...now here he is, MY MONKEY to gawk at. One that I never really thought I would see live in person...singing the songs that make sense of my own life. And he wrote them. I wanted to fucking shout at the guy like "HEY...WANNA HAVE A CIPHER AFTER THE SHOW???"
haha. nah, but I couldn't help but wonder what the hell happens with him after a show like that. And how I fit into this world that he works in. And how I operate within other worlds where people shout to me "HEY...WANNA HAVE A CIPHER AFTER THE SHOW???" and I feel compelled to say yes.
Truth is...I don't want to have a cipher after the show. And Bob Dylan doesn't want to hang out with the white rapper guy. Consideration is a bitch and I enjoy the people who mind her.
I left that show feeling charged. Smiling. Walked a mile back to my car. Sat in traffic for 2 hours. Got home 3 hours after the show. Called everyone I could to tell them what I just saw. wrote this.

pesach with bob!
I had Passover at Bob Dylan's house when I was a freshman at UCLA, he read the prayers and sang in Hebrew, it was really cool, just me and my friend, his folks, Bob, his ex-wife and their kids, I sat next to the wallflowers guy but he wasn't famous back then. Bob had a big bul Mastiff sitting by his feet and he snored all through the dinner. I spent a long time just wandering around, looking at the photos he had on the walls. They were all very nice.

2.6-2 Motive
Revised to December 1, 2007
The law does not require that the state, in a criminal case, prove a motive, because it is not an element of the crime. It is not necessary for the state to prove what reason the defendant may have had for committing the crime charged.
Because crimes are generally committed for some motive, evidence of a motive may tend to prove the guilt of a defendant. In the same manner, if there appears no adequate motive on the part of the defendant to commit the crime, that may tend to raise a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the defendant. <Identify the evidence introduced as to motive.>
If the existence of a motive can be reasonably inferred, that may tend to prove the defendant 's guilt. If no motive can be inferred, it may or may not raise a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the defendant. If the absence of a motive does not raise a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty, then the fact that the state has not proved what the defendant's motive was does not prevent you from returning a verdict of guilty.
"While evidence of motive does not establish an element of the crime charged . . . such evidence is both desirable and important. . . . It strengthens the state's case when an adequate motive can be shown. . . . Evidence tending to show the existence or nonexistence of motive often forms an important factor in the inquiry as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant. . . . This factor is to be weighed by the jury along with the other evidence in the case. . . . The role motive plays in any particular case necessarily varies with the strength of the other evidence in the case. The other evidence may be such as to justify a conviction without any motive being shown. It may be so weak that without a disclosed motive the guilt of the accused would be clouded by a reasonable doubt." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Wargo, supra, 255 Conn. 140 n.24.
"[I]f the evidence warrants it and if an accurate and timely request to charge is made, the trial court must instruct the jury that a lack of evidence on motive may tend to raise a reasonable doubt." State v. Pinnock, 220 Conn. 765, 790 (1992). A proper instruction informs the jury that: "(1) motive is not an element of the offense, and the state is not required to prove or show motive; (2) an absence of evidence of motive may tend to raise a reasonable doubt; and (3) even a total lack of evidence of motive would not necessarily raise a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the defendant so long as there is other evidence produced that is sufficient to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt." Id., 792. See also State v. Malave, 47 Conn. App. 597, 611-12 (1998), aff'd, 250 Conn. 722 (1999), cert. denied, 528 U.S. 1170, 120 S. Ct. 1195, 145 L. Ed. 2d 1099 (2000) (trial court properly refused to instruct the jury as to the defendant's lack of motive to commit the crimes, evidence having been introduced from which the jury could have inferred that there was enmity between the defendant and one of the victims).
If evidence of prior misconduct is
admitted for the purpose of showing motive, the court should also give an
instruction limiting the jury's use of the evidence. See State v. Feliciano,
256 Conn. 429, 451 n.11 (2001), in which the court admitted evidence of the
defendant's robbery in support of his drug habit for the limited purpose of
demonstrating that the defendant had a motive for the robbery that led to the
victim's murder. See Evidence Admitted for a Limited Purpose, Instruction

|Conclusion >>
Gas chambers for fumigation purposes or to serve as air raid shelters
13.84 I have no doubt that Irving is right that there was throughout a need to have fumigation facilities at the camp. There is documentary evidence of concern about the effect on the labour supply of prevailing mortality levels. As van Pelt accepted, ovens would have been required to cremate the large number who succumbed to disease. But in my judgment there is ample evidence which would have convinced an objective commentator that there were also gas chambers which were put to use to kill humans. In the first place there is the eye-witness evidence to which I have referred. Secondly, there is the evidence of van Pelt that the redesign of crematorium 2 in late 1942 was intended to cater for live human beings to walk down to an undressing room before being led into the chamber and to do away with the corpse-slide previously used to convey dead bodies downstairs. Thirdly, there is evidence that a camp doctor asked in January 1943 for the provision of an undressing-room, which would have been unnecessary if the crematorium were intended for corpses. Finally there is the evidence of the letter dated 31 March 1943 in which Bischoff requisitions, as a matter of urgency, a gas-tight door with a spy-hole of extra thickness. It is difficult to see why a spy-hole would be necessary in the door of a chamber used only for fumigating corpses or other objects. For these reasons I do not accept that an objective historian would be persuaded that the gas chambers served only the purposes of fumigation. The evidence points firmly in the direction of a homicidal use of the chambers as well.
13.85 I turn to Irving's alternative argument that the redesign work carried out in early 1943 was to convert crematorium 2 (and crematorium 3) for use as an air-raid shelter. I accept his claim that there was at the time some concern about Allied air-raids in the region. I am prepared to assume in Irving's favour that it was standard practice to equip shelters with gas-tight doors opening outwards and equipped with a peephole (although probably not with a metal grille on the inside). Nevertheless there appear to me to be cogent pragmatic reasons for a historian to conclude that the evidence does not support the air-raid shelter argument.
13.86 If the redesign was to convert the buildings to air raid shelters, there would have been no reason why the drawings and associated documents should not say so. But there is no hint in the documents that such was the intention. The question arises for whose benefit such shelters would have been built. It appears to me to be unlikely that the Nazis would be concerned to shelter the camp inmates. In any case the shelters would have been too small to accommodate more than a fraction of them. But the shelters would not have been suitable for SS personnel either, since the SS barracks were about one and a half miles way. So I cannot accept that this argument comes anywhere near displacing the conclusion to be drawn from the convergent evidence relied on by the Defendants for their contention as to the object of the redesign work.

BENICIA -- For the first time, a Valero official met with the public Thursday to talk about the contested Benicia crude-by-rail project.
Valero spokesman Chris Howe described the project and touted its benefits at a community meeting at City Hall.
"I want to stress that this is a logistics project," said Howe, Valero's director of health, safety, environment and government affairs. "It enables us to have an alternative means of crude delivery to our refinery. This project will not have an impact or changes on our existing refinery process operations."
The meeting's purpose was to help identify what issues will be addressed in the project's environmental report, which city and Valero officials agreed to prepare after about 60 interested parties sent comments to the city's Planning Division.
Many of the comments raised concerns about the potential use of heavy Canadian crude, as well as traffic and train-safety issues -- especially in light of the July 6 tanker-train disaster in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, that killed 47 people.
Howe did not reveal anything new about the project, which would allow the Benicia refinery to receive up to 70,000 barrels per day of crude by rail from unidentified North American sources. Instead, he outlined Valero's argument that the project would reduce emissions from smoggy boat transports and generate jobs.
Howe, city officials and project consultants also listened to opponents highlight their concerns.
"It only takes one problem ... a misalignment of one rail or railroad tie ... to cause a derailment," Benicia resident Marilyn Bardet said.
David Jenkins of Norcal Truck said he is concerned about increased rail traffic causing backups onto Interstate 680 at the Park Road crossing.
"I come from Concord every day," Jenkins said. "Many mornings ... you get stopped right there because of the trains trying to cross the tracks, and you can't get down there (from the offramp). It's very dangerous."
Also speaking at the meeting was Brant Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council. The environmental group is campaigning against the use of Alberta tar sands oil, regarded as a particularly dirty form of crude.
"I want to encourage the city to push out the scope of the (environmental study) to investigate (Valero's) claims" of reduced air pollution, reduced foreign crude dependence and job creation, Olson said. "My contention is the evidence isn't there."
Officials did not respond to the public comments Thursday. The next step in the process will be the release of the draft environmental report, expected in December. The project then will head to the Planning Commission.

Right now I don't understand this behavior - maybe somebody could point me in the right direction why it works on this way.
If I draw three entities - a line - a infinite line and a Ray and try then to use the Break out segment tools the result confuse me.
First of all: The Auto trim tool doesn't works on infinite lines and rays without any warning. Why it doesn't works - I don't know?
Second of all:
My test-drawing is this one:
If I use the "Break out Segment" tool it will work for the "Line" on the left side and for the "Infinite Line" and "Ray" on the right side from the vertical yellow line. Why isn't it working always on the same side?

Beside the fire, as the wood burns black, A laughing dancer in veils of light, Whose dance transforms the darkness to gold.
Abu Abd Allah ben Abi-l-Khisal

Contributed by: Tracy Phaup
To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.
Agnes de Mille (1908 -)
Dance is work, hard work, and not just physical, but emotional and intellectual and spiritual. You gotta be fearless, or at least unafraid to face your fears and ride through it, coming out stronger. Challenge yourself to push for the best, not just diddle around. Take it seriously, love it, hate it, fight with it, dance with it. Jump off the dang cliff and GO for it!

BEAUMONT, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Women's Tennis team came up just short of their goal this season, falling 4-1 against Northwestern State in the finals of the Southland Conference Tournament on Sunday afternoon.
"These girls fought this whole year with so much character, and they were such a true team, and today was no different," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "They competed with all their heart, and I can honestly say this is one of the toughest losses that I've ever had in 20 years, because I thought these girls really deserved to go to the NCAAs.
"Sometimes in sports you just have to give the other team credit, and Northwestern State really deserves that. They rose up today and simply played a great college tennis match. They deserve to be congratulated, and we wish them the best in the NCAA Tournament representing the Southland Conference. Pat DuBois is a class act and a friend, and we congratulate him and his team."
The Islanders (17-4) lost the crucial doubles point to start the match, and they were not able to get back to level as Northwestern State (14-7) earned the automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.
"I can say this with great certainty, it was one of the great blessings I've ever had in my life and a privilege to be surrounded by such high-character girls with such wonderful, supportive families," said Moore. "This was one of the most special teams that I have been around, read about or heard other coaches talk about. I can honestly say that this will be a team that will be a true team for the rest of their lives. Honestly, they are some of the most high-character individuals that I've ever met in any area of life."
In doubles, the Islanders looked to be in good shape early, but they lost a thriller to fall behind 1-0 in the match.
Doris Kuselj and Stefania Nicolae fell by an 8-3 final, leaving it up to the final two courts to make up the ground for the Islanders. Sandra Burges and Chelsea Horan jumped out to a 6-3 lead, but the Lady Demons rallied for an 8-6 final to clinch the doubles point. Maider Martin and Mia Matuszak were locked into a 7-7 score at No. 3 doubles when play was stopped.
In singles, the teams were close early on, but the Islanders were unable to rally from the early deficit. Martin fell by a 6-2, 6-3 final at No. 2 to make it 2-0, and Kuselj came up short at 6-3, 6-0 in No. 1 singles to make it 3-0.
Horan got her team on the board with a 6-4, 6-1 final at No. 6 singles, but Burges fell by a 6-2, 6-2 final to give NSU the victory.
Celia Rodriguez Delgado was up 5-2 and had the advantage at No. 5 when play was stopped, while Nicolae had just started her third set at No. 3 singles when the match was clinched.
The Islanders finish with high hopes for next season after earning the best finish in school history both for the regular season and conference tournament this year on a young team that will lose just one player in their starting six.
"We have such a talented group returning," said Moore. "I think this group will be on a mission next year to get to the NCAAs for Mia, Leanne and Doris."
It was the final match in the careers of Doris Kuselj, Leanne Mascall and Mia Matuszak. They finished their Islanders careers as the winningest group of seniors in program history, and helped build it into one of the top teams in the Southland Conference.
"For Doris, Mia and Leanne, they can tell their children and grandchildren that they brought a program national respect and national prominence and made school history," said Moore. "They were the first ever team to see Islanders Women's Tennis crack the national poll in NCAA Division I. They played through injuries that most players would not have even attempted to play through, they were elite competitors, and they built a tradition for Islanders Tennis where the team comes first. I'll be using those three girls as examples for freshmen for a long time."
The team set a school record with 17 wins, and they have gone 33-9 over the last two seasons as they rose in the Southland Conference. They reached the NCAA national rankings for the first time in school history this year, earning a No. 60 ranking in their debut on the ITA rankings.
"We said today, don't remember the end, remember the journey," said Moore. "I can't talk highly enough about how these three seniors poured their heart and soul into making this team special.
"A lot of people worked extremely hard to get this team to the point that it's at. I want to take a moment to thank my assistants Megan Harless and Goncalo Figueiredo, our trainer Kali Forero and the other special people that work in this athletic department. These people gave all their heart for these girls, and these girls gave all their heart for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi. I'll never forget this team."

A Rugged, Coastal Fishboat
By Capt. Bob Smith
Lake Wawasee in Indiana was a perfect place to test the 162 Tracer as it offered lots of coves, shallows, and open running for testing. This boat has been a popular in the West Coast of the U.S. and it is ready to charge into the East Coast market.
The 162 is a rugged utility/coastal boat with an entry-level price that should meet just about everyone's budget. It is a versatile performer and is comfortable in the coastal waters as well as the rivers and lakes. This boat has a .100 gauge hull bottom which is unusual for a 16-footer in this class. There is no wood in this model instead, they use a proprietary composite material. You don't have to worry about the seams on this boat, they are warranted for life.
Starting Up Front
The 162's simple utilitarian design has a handy storage cubby in the bow where you can either put a mushroom anchor or store the foot control for the trolling motor. Sturdy stainless steel rails surround the bow and another large storage box is in the sole for more gear, such as tackle boxes and life jackets. The easy care deck makes clean-up simple when you get back to shore.
Helm Layout
Smoker Craft raised the windshield on this model to improve protection from the elements and allow for a greater amount of leg room at the helm. You wouldn't believe the amount of leg room there is for a boat this size! The helm is simple with a fixed position wheel and fuel gauge and there is plenty of space to add a fishfinder and a GPS. Beneath the easy fold-down seats is room for storing life jackets and tackle. The 162 has its tank mounted down the center, below the composite flooring. This helps to stabilize the boat and the composite floor insures a lifetime of worry-free deck.
The open cockpit has plenty of room for fishing. Everything is well-arranged with rod racks conveniently on the side and excellent toe-kick space. The lips of the boxes all have a raised and protected edge to keep tackle from rolling off onto the floor. At the stern, the battery is placed low on the starboard side, the fuel fill top center and the stern light clips on the back edge.
Our test boat was powered with a Honda BF40 four-stroke outboard engine. This engine is known for delivering maximum power, performance, and economy. The offset crankshaft design puts the power head over the transom pivot point and the Autostart Enrichment delivers better fuel mixture for quick starts. The 3-3 lightweight carburetor design gives you smooth, sewing machine quiet operation.
Perfomance Results
We tested in good conditions on an inland lake. The 162 Tracer handled well with some wheel torque at top end. She cruises at 18.6mph at 4000 rpm and she can go 137 miles on a full tank of fuel. Equipped with a 40-hp Honda four-stroke this Tracer achieved a top end speed of 28.5 mph at 5800 rpm.
The 162 Tracer is 16'0" length overall with a beam width of 76". She has a 60-hp maximum rating with a maximum weight load of 1200 lbs. She carries 18 gallons of fuel in her center mounted tank and weighs 700 lbs dry without engine.
If you want a no-nonsense boat that is just as comfortable on a craggy river, open lake or coastal cruising for fish, the 162 Tracer from Smoker Craft certainly offers a lot.

It's not the economic news Aiken County leaders were hoping to hear. Nustart Energy is looking at other locations to build a nuclear power plant. And that means hundreds of jobs won't be coming to Aiken County. News 12 is on your side with who did land the reactors and why this might not be all bad news.
Disappointing news for those who wanted Aiken County's future to be in nuclear power. SRS is not one of the two states for a nuclear reactor. South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford in the county today expressed his letdown.
"A lot of folks in this community have worked very hard over the years in the larger umbrella of nuclear energy," Gov. Sanford said.
For two years Aiken County tried to lure the reactor and they made it down to one of six finalists.
In September, state and local leaders met with Nustart Energy in Aiken County to try and seal the deal. But now Bellefonte, Alabama and Grand Gulf, Mississippi will be the new sites. Nustart President Marilyn Kray would not discuss the economic package Aiken County offered her. And she wouldn't say why SRS did not get the reactor, but she did offer hope that years of work was not wasted.
"We're not prepared to talk about any attributes in favor or not in another. Our hope, based on the information that we collected on Savannah River is that it would still remain as a very eligible site for a new nuclear plant," Kray said.
And Governor Sanford believes, if not Nustart, SRS will find a new mission.
"There will be other chances in other things, but what's critical going forward is that we build on that intellectually and physical foundation that we have at the Savannah River," Sanford said.
Not landing Nustart means Aiken County is missing out on millions in tax dollars and about 800 jobs.

These realistic stones are handmade of high-density casting plaster. Cast in solid colors so that when trimmed, the edges do not show white, but rather their natural color. They can be easily cut with an X-acto® knife by scoring the surface and snapping at the score. Each bag covers approximately 100 square inches.
To finish the stones shown above follows these instructions. Stones should be glued in place with #1249 Weldbond or your favorite adhesive and allowed to dry. Then the stones should be sealed with a non-yellowing sealer (for example, Delta Ceramcoat satin varnish) and allowed to dry. This helps protect the stone from the slightly abrasive mortar. Apply #2076 Mortar Mix between the stones. Add a top coat of sealer, if desired. Instructions included with stones.
Paul Anderson of Andi Mini Brick and Stone finished the exterior of the custom-built "Grandpa Anderson's Miniature House" with #0728 Gray/Brown Fieldstone.
Largest stone: 1" x 1/2"
Scale: 1/12
Assembly Required:

I've looked into a lot of "stone" veneer for minis and this turned out by far the most realistic!
I was so happy with this product that I ordered more for my next project. Very realistic...hard to believe they are not really stone. Flat on the back surface so they bond perfectly to your surface.

You've probably heard the story before. In 1992, Todd McFarlane, Jim Lee, Rob Liefeld, Erik Larsen, Marc Silvestri, Jim Valentino and While Portacio seven of the biggest artists in the comics industry left lucrative work-for-hire gigs to form Image Comics, a publisher built on creator ownership and autonomous control.
This week, Image Comics notched its 20th anniversary, and to celebrate, we've assembled a list of The 10 Best Image Comics Series of their First 20 Years. The company's released a lot of great comics over the years, so of course this list is entirely subjective and hardly exhaustive when it comes to the quality material from the past two decades as you'll see, we're kind of fudging with "10 best" anyway. (And if you're wondering, since Warren Ellis's seminal run on Stormwatch bled through to the DC-published The Authority, we elected not to count it for the purposes of this particular list, but can certainly see an argument for both sides.)
Image Comics has evolved a great deal in 20 years while sticking to their creator-owned roots. To take a look at some of the best of what they're produced, click "start here" in the upper-left corner.
Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!

If Image's initial mission statement was to produce thoroughly unconventional fare with the same type of production value and exposure as a Marvel or DC comic and we're pretty sure it at least partly was then there might not be a better representative from their early days than The Maxx, which debuted in 1993.
Created by Sam Kieth with co-writer William Messner-Loebs, The Maxx was a surreal trip of a comic about a homeless man who doubled as a monstrous hero in an alternate reality created by a woman's subconscious. (Unconventional, right?) Like many of the entries on this list, it spawned an adaptation in another form of media, but The Maxx was among the earliest: an equally bizarre 1995 MTV animated series that aired among the likes of Beavis and Butthead.
The worlds of music and comic books are never too far apart Dazzler started out as a disco star, after all but were never so seamlessly integrated before Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's Phonogram.
Running from 2006 to 2010, Phonogram first starred David Kohl, a mage whose powers were channeled through Britpop. Individual issue covers were each homages to different albums by bands like Pulp, Blue and Oasis, and the second volume brought things more into the 2000s with references to bands like CSS, The Knife and TV on the Radio.
Phonogram also led to Gillen and McKelvie working extensively for Marvel Comics; Gillen's the current writer of Uncanny X-Men and Journey Into Mystery, and McKelvie is drawing the upcoming X-Men: Season One hardcover graphic novel.
In recent years, Image Comics has seen something of a renaissance, with multiple well-received new series launching, in the process creating new indie hits and new mainstream superstars. Here are three of the biggest.
Before Fantastic Four, Jonathan Hickman wrote and illustrated 2006-2007's The Nightly News, an Eisner-nominated speculative fiction look at the news media. The series established Hickman as an important artistic voice, and featured his striking design skills.
Chew, by John Layman and Rob Guillory, launched in 2009 and is a testament to the kind of comics you just don't get from mainstream publishers. The book stars Tony Chu, a detective and "Cibopath" who can absorb the "memories" of any piece of food he eats (except for beets).
Another future Marvel star, Nick Spencer, made a splash in 2010 with ongoing series Morning Glories, a boarding school-set drama filled with enough mystery that it's earned the tag "Runaways meets Lost" and has earned raves from Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof.
Mark Millar is preparing to launch several new creator-owned series with top talent like Dave Gibbons and Frank Quitely on board as you read this, and none of that would have been possible without Wanted, released by Image's Top Cow Productions.
In 2003, Millar was already a pretty big star thanks to comics like The Ultimates and Superman: Red Son. Wanted helped launch him to the next level, and reminded the industry as a whole that creator-owned comics aren't just emotionally fulfilling, they also can be pretty profitable as seen in the $341 million worldwide box office take of the Wanted film. Along with six issues of J.G. Jones art, and you've got one of the most important series in Image history.
And other than all of that, it definitely has one of the most memorable closing lines in comic book history.
Even though the story has taken some pretty unexpected turns over the years, Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker's Invincible is definitely the most famous straight-up superhero series in Image history.
While a lot of Image characters can fall under the general superhero umbrella Spawn, Savage Dragon, Witchblade much of them are antiheroes or twists on the concept. Invincible proved that Image could do superheroes just as well as Marvel or DC Invincible and Spider-Man even teamed up at one point and the series is still going strong nearly a decade after its 2003 debut.
(And, no, this isn't the only Robert Kirkman-written series on the list.)
Marc Silvestri's Top Cow Productions has a unique history of its own it's acted mostly independently over the years, and at one point briefly seceded from Image altogether. Since its 1996 debut, it's carved out an industry niche for dark, often religious-themed, horror/fantasy series.
The two most famous Top Cow series are Witchblade and its spinoff The Darkness; either one would be a worthy entry on this list, but we're going with The Darkness for its impressive history of writers (including Garth Ennis, Paul Jenkins and, currently, Phil Hester), melding of the crime and fantasy genres, and inspiring an acclaimed 2007 video game, with a sequel on the way.
It's current volume reaches #100 this month a rare feat for any series these days, but especially one that started life as a spinoff of a non-Marvel/DC title.
Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's Powers went to Marvel's "Icon" imprint in 2004, but the first four years of the series was at Image Comics, and yielded some of the book's most memorable stories.
In 2000, Bendis was just gaining notice from the comic book industry at large via Ultimate Spider-Man, and Powers about a pair of homicide detectives assigned to the superhero beat became his biggest creator-owned hit yet. The first arc, "Who Killed Retro Girl?" established the tone of the series, and highlighted Oeming's flair for coupling art reminiscent of animation with scenes of graphic violence.
Still running today and with a possible FX TV series in the works, it's clear that despite the mainstream success Bendis and Oeming have had in their careers, Powers is still tremendously important to both creators.
Another series no longer at Image, Astro City began life in 1995 as part of Wildstorm subdivision Homage Comics, before Jim Lee's imprint became part of DC Comics in 1998.
Astro City reunited the Marvels team of Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross (on covers and character designs), and took a similar approach: looking at larger-than-life superheroes from a ground level. Illustrated throughout its run by Brent Anderson, the first volume consisted of six one-issue stories, each one quirky and poignant.
Following that, Busiek and Anderson explored the world of Astro City further with multi-part stories, and filled the city with dozens of heroes and decades of its own rich history, and becoming one of the most universally praised '90s series along the way.
Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon and Todd McFarlane's Spawn were two of the original Image Comics titles and are still being published today, chasing Cerebus for the record of longest-running independent title.
For nearly 180 issues, Erik Larsen has been writing and drawing The Savage Dragon, with a multitude of left turns in the series' saga in the past 20 years. The comic has seen a fistfight between God and the Devil and guest spots from Osama bin Laden and Barack Obama, and inspired a short-lived animated series way back in 1995.
Though Todd McFarlane has greatly reduced his Spawn role over the years, its remained influential as one of the most popular non-Marvel, non-DC franchises of all time launching toys, a live-action 1997 film, an HBO animated series and passing the 200-issue mark in 2011.
Yes, The Walking Dead inspired a hit AMC series that's currently in its second season, and with that has brought recognition of the comic book to entirely new audiences. And though that's pretty great, that's not the only reason it's No. 1.
The Walking Dead debuted in 2003 from the creative team of Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore, and effectively showed the day after a zombie movie what happens to the survivors, and how does life go on when you're constantly on the run from the living dead? With shocking developments over the course of its 90+ issues, The Walking Dead has remained one of the most consistent and unexpected reads on stands, winning an Eisner Award for "best continuing series" in 2010.
Now The Walking Dead franchise is extending beyond comics and TV, and into video games. There's even a board game and action figures. But throughout all that, the comic book has remained really, really good, and it looks like there's no stopping point any time soon.

But why wait to get to the playtesting for us mappers. All that we need is to have a comm chair, a info-player start and be able to get in to our maps environments to see if all parts of our maps work correct, such as veiw down from cc and ladders, vents , stairs etc. Also to see scale of rooms.
We may be wasting alot of our time otherwise.

Cruor Join Date: 2004-11-07 Member: 32677Members Posts: 156Loving them both, but I have to agree that the axe could have used some curvature along it's chopping edge and not the straight line finish.
The curvature on normal axes are there to facilitate easy removal when it is lodged in tree etc. Having it straight means it gets stuck more often than not. Especially if you've lodged it in the bone plate of an onoses skull and he is looking angrily at you as you try in vain to remove your axe.
But I realize at this point with the model finalized, it would be a pain to modify it to have some curvature, but despite that I figured I'd make a quick modified mockup of how it could look and here it is:
To be honest that added curvature makes all the difference at least in my case. Giving it that added tomahawk feel and look.Post edited by Unknown User on

The field manual copy you guys provided is well done and helps both explain and place the axe within the NS2 environment. The pistol, revealed last week, looks fantastic. The axe... well... um...
I have to admit feeling a wee bit guilty airing my criticism as I've been eagerly anticipating and enjoying all of the glimpses of the NS2 to come, and I prefer to reserve judgement until we all have the game in our hot little hands. This is the first time a game element has been presented as in a near-finished state that just felt a little... wrong... to me. The axe simply doesn't look sharp. At first glance it doesn't look like it will necessarily be able to inflict that much damage to an armoured alien. Simliarly to how you realized that a mo'capped actor isn't going to necessarily give you the appearance of realism, I think the current look of the axe doesn't lend itself to the appearance of violence it's supposed to be able to dole out. I don't think that major modification is needed to add an appropriate amount of menace to the axe model, but a few tweaks could make a world of difference. I really don't care if the axe looks "realistic" or not as I'm fully aware that we're all discussing a game that takes place in the future in space, I just want to see it look appropriate within the future space game context.

USA, 2012, 70 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Avant Garde/Experimental, DramaLanguage: English
In a people-less world, a boy narrates the history of Orlando, Florida, mixing in his own history with his dad's, with whom he now shares a barren existence. The boy's imaginings, like the place he lives in now, conjure both the phantasmagoric and the merely mythical as he tries to understand how two people have come to live empty lives in an empty house in this empty place. The whole world is contained in Orlando, his father told him. It shouldn't ever be necessary to go anywhere else. As the boy explores the real landscape of this place, both built and natural, he tries to reconcile this idea with the beauty and bleakness he finds.
The stars of this unconventional tale are nature and sound and still images of manmade things that suggest a postapocalyptic world. Writer-producer-director Brent Chesanek brings a keen eye to this meditation on artifice and reality, discovering a wealth of landscapes within a single landscape, from the tiniest details to a thunderous sky that threatens catastrophe. In this perfect stillness, the boy's poetic but devastating observations play in counterpoint to images that are full and rich. Roadways that show no movement seem quiet at first, but later suggest something lurking, impending danger, a human presence that may or may not be welcome.
Shot in swamps and suburban landscapes in and around Orlando, City World is both peaceful and heartbreaking. Chesanek is the creator of Brethren Arise, an award-winning experimental short. City World is his feature directorial debut.

Ed Koch, Mayor and Movie Critic
During his last term in office, Ed Koch was invited to throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium. As he stepped out onto the field, and his name was announced, he was booed and heckled by 50,000 merciless fans. The pitcher's mound began to feel like a dung heap, he said. But Koch took it all like a mayor: he tipped his cap, and bowed. When the booing intensified, he bowed again.
Most of us cringe at criticism. Ed Koch basked in it. Maybe that's why he became a movie critic.
Koch passed away at age 88 at 2 a.m. at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia hospital, spokesman George Arzt told the Associated Press. The funeral will be held on Monday at Temple Emanu-El in New York.
Koch's craving for critique became his trademark. "How'm I doing?" he would ask again and again over the course of his three terms as mayor, never satisfied with the answers of either his supporters or detractors.
But in the years after he moved out of Gracie Mansion, Koch switched from being the subject of criticism to the source. He wrote a column for the Daily News, and briefly presided over "The People's Court," but the late mayor's most consistent post-political employment was as a movie critic.
To many, this was a bit of a stretch. But Koch, a lifelong moviegoer, often described himself and his city in cinematic terms, most famously in his autobiography, "Citizen Koch." He has also appeared in ten films, including "New York Stories" and "The First Wives Club," most often as himself.
"Karl Marx had it all wrong," he said. "Religion is not the opiate of the masses. It's the movies."
Each week Koch reviewed two or three films for a chain of weekly newspapers throughout the five boroughs, Long Island, and Westchester.
Koch's methodology was unorthodox. He never went to press screenings (too many other critics). He never took notes (too distracting). He only reviewed films after other critics had already favorably reviewed them.
"You can't trust the mainstream critics," he told me. "Forty percent of the time, they're wrong."
Once the films of the week had been selected, usually from the Friday edition of The New York Times, Koch and several of his friends meet up at the theater.
During the film, Koch and his cohorts never consumed popcorn, soda, or candy. "We go for dinner afterwards to discuss the film," Koch said. "Then I have to sleep on it, or actually, dream on it."
When Koch woke up, on Sunday morning, he'd write the reviews in bed, on a yellow legal pad. Each review is given a plus or a minus.
"You either enjoy something or you don't," Koch said. "I don't understand this business of two stars or three stars."
In the body of the reviews, Koch did battle with his fellow critics. "Janet Maslin raved about this," many of his reviews begin. "But I think it's ridiculous.'"
Koch's reviews often contain anecdotes about his tenure as mayor, usually in order to admit a personal prejudice. "I remember when I was mayor," he wrote in his review of "The Sixth Sense." "Bruce Willis came over to me in a restaurant and told me that he thought I was terrific. Undoubtedly, my memory has clouded my judgment."
Preferring independent and foreign features to Hollywood blockbusters, he usually condemns anything hyped. For instance, while he is often "disappointed," the Star Wars prequels were "a monumental disappointment." And even though he liked "Titanic," he qualified his approval with "I feel like the boy who said the emperor had no clothes."
Koch was a regular at the Angelika Film Center and the Quad. "People always come up to me with the same line," he said. "'I don't always agree with you,' they say. 'But I love your reviews.'"
Koch traced his love of cinema to his childhood. Growing up in the Bronx during the Depression, he found movies to be a great escape.
During his tenure as mayor, in between trying to curb the rising tide of crime and avoiding implication in a series of citywide scandals, he was a staunch advocate of the movies and moviegoers. He encouraged studios and filmmakers to shoot in the city, trying to make it more economically viable. In 1988, when Manhattan movie theaters announced that tickets would be raised to $7, he led a short-lived boycott.
"No one backed me up," he said. "So I gave up and went into the theater."
But harder than being mayor, said Koch, was writing a review of a film he truly despised. "After I write that the script is lousy and that the acting is worse, I run out of things to say," he said.
Ironically, a new movie titled "Koch," a documentary by first-time filmmaker Neil Barsky, has just been unveiled. The former mayor and film critic ended his life as a movie star.

Strawberries - it's an early start to the 2014 season
According to British Summer Fruits, the trade body that represents suppliers of 98% of the berries sold to UK supermarkets, the first home-grown strawberries will appear on the shelves from 13 May, some three weeks earlier than the 2013 season. Growers are expecting a bigger, sweeter crop as well, despite the wettest winter in 250 years. It's all down to the Spring sunshine, and the fact that the plants are producing more sugars as a result - and the fact that most supermarket strawberries are now grown under the protection of polytunnels which also helps to ensure first class fruit.

2013 Sees the Best PYO Season in Years!
'This is our best season in 20 years!' said May Draper, Pickwell Farm PYO, Grange Road, Old Netley, Southampton. 'We began picking for the farm shop with Christine and Sonata varieties from 1 June, and opened the PYO fields shortly afterwards.'
The delayed start of summer allowed the fruit to develop slowly making for very tasty fruit and the different varieties ripened as they should, a week or two after one another, to keep fruit available in the field.

.22 Caliber (.224) High Velocity 55 gr. HPBT
For rifles, the 55 grain #1390 Hollow Point Boat Tail bullet has been designed for the shooter who prefers the rapid expansion characteristics of the hollow point design. This bullet delivers devastating expansion on varmints and small game, and in many rifles it routinely delivers match-grade accuracy, which are vital considerations for long-range varmint shooting. The large, open point makes this a very dependable bullet for all 22 centerfire cartridges, except the very smallest where case capacity limits muzzle velocities with 55 grain bullets.
In handguns, this Hollow Point Boat Tail 55 grain #1390 bullet with its cavernous opening can be used for short-range varmint shooting in handguns chambering the 223 Remington or larger cartridges. This bullet is built with Sierra's high velocity design and is capable of extremely high accuracy.
The #1390 was introduced in 1984.
