I'm confident making the statement that there is NO ARGUMENT that justifies the bureaucratic ownership of property, other than to justify the violent theft from citizens for the benefit of the bureaucracy.1
I'm confident, because there are no longer geographically defined communities. Community property depends upon a fixed geography, and population limited to organic birth rates. There is no longer a geographically defined community because of the mobility of labor, and because of tax farming by the state. Instead, the state forces us to become renters, not owners. We are wage slaves to taxation and unable to retire, and forced from our communities by prohibitive taxation. And the state destroys any possible sense of community through its appropriation of assets in service of the bureaucracy.
Thankfully, problem of controlling this abuse of us is resolvable by property rights and a prohibition on incalculability that is just as impermeable as our prohibition on involuntary transfers.
Rothbard failed to provide a **complete solution** to his ethical and political philosophy. He failed for the following reasons.
a) He failed to provide a solution to the problem of formal institutions and instead relied entirely upon informal normative institutions, creating a religion that must be independent of geography rather than a means of maintaining a set of norms in a geography.
b) He failed to include the principles of i) warrantee and ii) symmetrical ethics and iii) prohibition on external involuntary transfers in his analysis The Ethics Of Liberty. The high-trust society that makes competitive capitalism in the west a material advantage over the endemic corruption in other cultures, particularly the bazaar culture of the middle east and india, and the familial culture of the east, is caused by the inclusion of these three prohibitions on involuntary transfer in the ethics of exchange.
But Hoppe succeeded where Rothbard failed. Where hoppe failed, was his implied choice for a preferred type of community. He did not explain the institutions that would make possible a larger community using the same principles. He did not demonstrate how to create federations. It was not his objective. It was not necessary.
But Hoppe did not address the importance of the distinction between bazaar/peasant ethic and the warrior/landowner ethic directly (that I know of), instead, he relied upon Germanic individual responsibility. Which, first is unique to the civilization, possibly genetic in origin, and is less of a problem in a smaller community than it is in a larger one, where it is impossible to possess knowledge sufficient to protect one's self from fraud, and others from theft by external involuntary transfer because of our participation in such fraud.
So both Hoppe and Rothbard effectively place a prohibition on collective action. I argue that this is impossible. Man acts. That is true. It is the premise behind aristotelian and Misesian reasoning. But Man Organizes is as equally true. And his most profound works are the result of organization, in extraordinary complexity, made possible by the pricing system.
While Rothbard argues that property is a moral construct, and Hoppe that property is a preferential construct, and Hayek a utilitarian construct, these issues miss the point: The necessary function of Property is Calculability: It allows humans to plan production amidst competition for plastic resources in a division of knowledge and labor where members are unequally productive and incentivized to cheat by conducting involuntary transfers. The norm of property exists to both prevent violence, fraud and theft, and therefore allow us to plan to avoid disputes, and by avoiding disputes allow us to plan increasingly complex production.
Property therefore must be calculable. If it is not calculable it is by definition a hazard: a form of involuntary transfer that encourages cheating. Several property and Shareholder Property are legitimate because they are calculable. Community property is not legitimate for productive uses because its use is incalculable.
Community property is only legitimate for non-productive uses. And even then, there must be control of such 'community' property, simply to prevent its use. And so if there is rotation out of an incalculable pool of owners, or it is possible by democratic means to 'immigrate' and therefore sieze control of the resource, then all the forgone opportunity for use by immigrants into the pool of community property participants is simply taken by theft of involuntary transfer from those who refrained from using it before.
This is why people object to involuntary immigration. It's theft. Plain and simple. Immigration is incompatible with public (common) property.
In practice, the bureaucracy, like the monarchy and the church before it, is incentivized to create as much 'community' property as possible, which it then leases out to individuals by way of taxation. These bureaucracies then use as many means possible to launder causal relations, and quantitative relations, by pooling property and its costs into aggregates. But the resulting property is not 'community property'. The government is just another business that acquires and profits from assets, except that it relies upon the application of violence rather than voluntary exchange for obtaining its property and continuing its survival.
Our only solution is to Privatize everything. Everything that cannot be privatized must be calculable. Non calculability is a means of theft. It does not matter if it's community property, or pooling tax monies. It's theft if it is incalculable. Plain and simple.
For those critics who argue that I have not covered all the permutations in one essay, I'm sorry but that would be impractical. Walter Block is the prolific applier of Rothbardian ideas and provides those answers in his work even if you may find his answers either incomplete or unsatisfying for reasons I'll explain below. However, the fact that I don't cover them all here, does not mean that it cannot be done. ↩

Vermont turkey hunting isn't going to stack up with traditional powerhouses like Missouri or Wisconsin. However, when it comes to turkey hunting in the Northeast, it doesn't get much better than Vermont. With nearly 60,000 birds in the state and hundreds of thousands of acres of public land, turkey hunters have it pretty good here. Let's take a look at some of the best places to chase gobblers in Vermont.
Green Mountain National Forest
With nearly 400,000 acres of public hunting, much of it contiguous, the Green Mountain National Forest is the premiere public land destination for Vermont turkey hunters. The forest covers parts of six counties and contains eight wilderness areas. There is plenty of space for turkey hunters to find a spot of their own. The forest habitat is a good mix of oaks, aspen, birch, and pine. Forest management provides open areas for strutting and nesting. Upland areas give hunters another option.
Pine Mountain Wildlife Management Area
This property features nearly 2,300 acres of mixed forest including oak, maple, birch, beech, and ash. The terrain can be steep and varies from 1,500 feet to 720 feet above sea level. Pine Mountain lies in the center of the property and five creeks run through it along with several small ponds and marshes. Although Pine Mountain WMA is 95% wooded, there is a wide mix of habitats to hunt.
White River Wildlife Management Area
At 624 acres, the White River WMA isn't huge. But the habitat is perfect for turkeys. Set along Vermont's picturesque White River, the terrain is steep and mountainous, with elevations from 320 to 1150 feet above sea level. The property is mostly forested with a mix of maple, birch, beech, and hemlock. The river bottoms are well known as turkey hotspots. White River WMA is easy to get to. Interstate 89 is just across the river. Keep in mind, that makes it easy to access for you and other hunters.
Huntington Gap Wildlife Management Area
This 1,500+ acre WMA is adjacent to Camel's Hump State Park. As is the case with many Vermont WMA's, the scenery is incredible. The property is completely forested with large stands of hardwoods, birch, spruce, maple, and evergreens. Beech trees are also common. Hard mast is easy to come by for turkeys on this property. Two creeks also run through Huntington Gap WMA. The 2,000 acre Lewis Creek WMA is just west of the property and offers more excellent turkey habitat.
Other great public land turkey hunting destinations in Vermont include Bird Mountain WMA, Hawks Mountain WMA, Plymsbury WMA, and Podunk WMA. There are several smaller WMAs that also offer great hunting and smaller crowds.
Hunting Call Shy Turkeys
When Gobblers Give You The Cold Shoulder The term "call shy" is often used by hunters trying to make sense of turkeys that won't budge no matter what we do to entice them.
Roosting Turkeys
first light bird bonanza Shooting turkeys during midday isn't impossible, but there is no doubt the vast majority of gobblers are shot within...
Using Locator Calls
For Turkey Hunting
If you haven't scouted an area, the scouting is flawed, or the turkeys just decided to disappear, locator calls may be the most important tool...

I'm hoping that there's a WordPress expert out there who can help me. As you can see my header is messed up. Actually my whole theme is, but that's the most visible bit.
I think the problem is that my theme has a settings section within the WordPress dashboard and none of the changes I make there are getting saved. I believe that this settings file is created by the functions.php file, but I don't know where it stores the changes I make, and I think the 'storage' location has the wrong file permissions so the changes aren't getting applied.
Can anybody help me fix? Thanks in advance for any help.
Update: It seems to have fixed itself as I'm sure it wasn't me!

Sudden cessation of major arterial flow in the extremities may be caused by physical obstruction of the arterial lumen or by reduction in effective flow when vascular volume or perfusion pressure is critically decreased or when the resistance in small arteries or venules is markedly increased (Table 1).
Arterial obstruction is probably most frequently encountered in patients who have had an arterial puncture or cannulation for left atrioventricular catheterization, arteriography, or physiological monitoring. In a collective study of 12,367 patients who had cardiac catheterization, Braunwald and Swan1 noted an arterial complication rate of only 0.3%. This low incidence of complications probably represents only truly disastrous events and contrasts sharply with the experience of others. In catheter procedures, the loss of the peripheral pulse per se, irrespective of symptoms of ischemia, has been encountered in about 30% of the cases.2-5 Intra-arterial injection of hypertonic or otherwise irritating material, including concentrated

If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions you might have a cold hand disease that can be treatable. Most cold hand diseases occur because of blood flow to your hands. In any of these cases the most important step you can take toward better hand health is to be examined by a hand specialist.
Cold hand diseases that occur from vasoconstriction happen when the normal process of temporarily applying more muscle pressure to your blood vessels becomes abnormally strong or prolonged. With less blood flow to the hands, the oxygen content of the fingers is depleted and they can turn a blue color (Figure 2)—a process called cyanosis.
When the fingers are warmed up again, the increased blood flow causes a red color; this process is frequently accompanied with a new onset of pain. After a while, the fingers return to their normal skin color, which can be associated with swelling and tingling. Repeated and increasingly prolonged depletion of blood flow to the fingers can cause ulcers in the skin and tissue death (also called necrosis, see Figure 3).
The other cause of cold hand or fingers is vaso-occlusion, which happens when one or more of the blood vessels in the hand or wrist become blocked.
Raynaud's Disease and Raynaud's Phenomenon
There are many specific diseases of blood vessels that can cause vasoconstriction and vaso-occlusion. One of the most common vascular diseases is Raynaud's. In this disease process, there is an abnormal reaction in the hand when it is exposed to cold.
With Raynaud's, there are actually two vascular disease processes with the same name. When a patient has hypersensitive reaction to cold and no other vascular disease, this process is called Raynaud's disease (or primary Raynaud's); there is no other cause for the changes in the hand blood flow except for this abnormal reaction to cold exposure. Raynaud's disease often develops in women in their teens and early adulthood. Primary Raynaud's is thought to be at least partly hereditary, although the specific genes have yet to be identified.
When a patient experiences abnormal reactions to cold and has another vascular disease (such as lupus, scleroderma or rheumatoid arthritis), this process is called Raynaud's phenomenon (or secondary Raynaud's). Diseases associated with Raynaud's phenomenon include:
A hand surgeon may help you identify behaviors that may be helpful or harmful to blood flow in your the hands. Doctors educate patients on a range of behavioral topics, including:
In many cases, doctors may prescribe medicines that both reduce the risk of developing blocked or constricted blood vessels and improve blood flow through the hands and fingers.
Effective medications include:
Most commonly recognized as a cosmetic procedure, botulinum toxin (e.g., Botox®, Allergan Inc., Bovine CA) injections are now used as a highly effective treatment for cold hands syndrome. In a simple outpatient procedure, the botulinum toxin is injected into the hand to relax muscles surrounding constricted blood vessels. Botulinum toxin paralyzes and relaxes the muscles, allowing blood vessels to dilate and increase in diameter. As the vessels dilate, more blood can flow through to supply the rest of the hand and the fingertips. This procedure may provide relief of cold hand symptoms in certain individuals for up to three months.
Surgery is often the best treatment option for complex cold hand diseases. A hand surgeon may perform a range of advanced techniques, including:

How Our Lives Went To The Dogs
Ed and Leslie Grinnell have been living with dogs with disabilities for over 20 years. Our own dogs, together with the hundreds of disabled dogs whom we have personally measured and fitted in their carts each year, have been our inspiration. They have taught us how to meet the challenges of providing our disabled soul companions with the equipment and the care they need to lead a "dog's life".
Our customer care team, Lisa Downing and Jill Lively, is dedicated to providing each caregiver with the emotional support, product information and assistance they need to be successful in caring for their pet. We are happy to work with you and your vet or animal rehab practitioner to incorporate a mobility cart into the pet's care plan and your lifestyle. And yes, we build carts for cats, goats, bunnies, alpacas….. any 4 legged in need!
Ed's revolutionary design, based on supporting the animal on its skeleton – on the pelvic floor in the rear, with an opening yoke over the shoulders – has won the accolades of veterinarians and canine physical rehabilitation practitioners worldwide. This design protects pets from some of the common side-effects created by canine carts – skin breakdown and urine burn from supporting pets on the soft tissue, and loss of core muscle tone caused by girth straps encircling the spine.
In the past 17 years, our business has grown by word-of-mouth, through online support groups, such as Dodgers List and DM support groups, satisfied customers, and the recommendations of animal professionals. We've also been the grateful recipient of national media attention, on the Associated Press Wire Service, CNN, WGBY, CBS-News WBZ , NPR and the Today Show. This fall, we will be featured on CBS's Innovation Nation.
With some dogs, it's always a toss-up as who is "master" of whom, and whether the dog is man's best friend or vice versa.
Our blue Doberman, Buddha, was on of those incredibly self-possessed beings who always took the attitude that eventually she would get her humans fully trained. For years she had been Eddie's guard dog, but in 1989, she was being a Nanny dog to our young daughter and the group of toddlers who came to our home for family daycare.
When she lost the use of her rear legs at the age of 10 due to spondylosis and disc disease, we were faced with the choice of a risky surgery which we could not really afford or euthanizing her. She was neither painful nor depressed, so euthanizing her was not an option. We decided to give her time to heal – gave her anti-inflammatories, and started researching wheelchairs. I became her servant, carrying her back end around in a sling, and doing massage therapy every night.
In the meantime, Eddie, dissatisfied with what was available commercially at that time, decided to build her a wheelchair that would restore her to decent quality of life. A mechanical engineer by trade, he analyzed the canine skeleton and designed a cart that would support Buddha on her pelvic floor with a yoke over her shoulders. This would give her spine the support it needed to heal.
That was in 1989; the cart was clunky by today's standards, but it allowed her to walk in the woods and fields again. We served her needs, and were rewarded several months later, when she began to walk on her own again. She taught us about the value of convalescent care, and awed us with her ability to rehabilitate in her cart. After only a couple of months, her paralyzed legs started moving again, and shortly afterwards, she was able to stand and walk on her own without the cart.
Our vet was impressed with her recovery, and over the years referred people to us who needed wheelchairs for their disabled dogs. With each cart, Eddie refined the original design to make it lighter and easier to use. Finally, his own disabilities forced him to leave corporate life and he decided to devote himself to helping disabled animals. A feature article in the local newspaper produced a spate of orders and Eddie's Wheels was born in 1999.
Now the dogs really ruled our lives. Our first local customers taught us about all the different special needs that needed accommodation. KD, the border collie, wore her cart with a pool noodle strapped on so she could go swimming in her cart. Voytek, the ancient dachshund, needed a four-wheeler. Shala, the pup rescued from the town dump with missing front legs, inspired the first front wheel cart. There were amputees who needed counterweighted carts; arthritic dogs who needed counterbalanced ones, and too many dogs with degenerative myelopathy who needed carts that could be upgraded to deal with their progressively worsening disabilities. Removable step-in saddles, variable axles, carts with detachable front training wheels for rehab, and full quad carts with head rests and tow handles were developed in response to requests from people who needed these tools to manage their beloved pets' disabilities.
Since the website went up in January 1999, we have sent carts all over the world including Australia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Israel, Bulgaria, Romania, Namibia, Greenland, Turkey, Ecuador, Samoa and Europe. Veterinarians, who once believed that carts don't work for big dogs, have seen how successfully our carts have met the needs of larger breeds. We show our work at animal rehab conferences, holistic vet conferences and have received the endorsements of leading vet hospitals and vet schools, including Tufts, NC State, University of Tennesse, Ole Miss. Michigan State, University of Minnesota, and Cornell.
In 2001, we adopted Daisy, a delightful 6 year old dachshund with four herniated discs, bladder and bowel incontinence, and a feisty indomitable spirit that made dogs cower as she chased them in her cart. We learned so much from watching her slowly rehabilitate over time, gradually regaining function of her legs so that she could use her cart as a walker, propelling herself as she climbed hills. Daisy was an active, healthy dog on wheels for 10 years – inspiring thousands who met her at veterinary conventions, schools and conferences – to rethink their preconceptions about disabled pets. She died of a stroke on a snowy day in January 2011 at the ripe old age of 16.
In 2004, we outgrew our business incubator and built a new shop in the village of Shelburne Falls. Our new space gives us room to continue to grow, as well as offering space for complementary alternative health care services such as healing touch, massage, acupuncture and chiropractic services by a variety of practitioners.
In June of 2006, we received a call from the NYC – ASPCA to help find a home for Sweet Pea, a disabled incontinent pitbull for whom we'd donated a cart several months earlier. What started out as foster care quickly turned into a full adoption, with her story featured on Animal Precinct. Sweet Pea's disabilities changed over time and she received all kind of canine rehab and physical therapy. An injury to her lumbar spine inspired the latest innovation – a tiltable, variable angle saddle to compensate for her roached posture.
Willa and Webster came into our lives in January 2010 through a rescue group in southern California named Mutts'n Stuff. They specialized in hard to place adoptions, and certainly Willa and Webster have unique special needs: they were both born without forelimbs. We adopted them specifically because of this disability, as we were making so many front wheel carts. We felt that we needed some hands-on experience learning about the challenges of using front wheel carts. They have been a total delight to have in our family, and have become expert drivers of their wheelchairs. How nice for them to be able to climb hills, sniff, play and sit at will instead of creeping or hopping like kangaroos!
Here at Eddie's Wheels, we truly live our life's work and mission. Our Motto: We test our products on Animals – speaks to our over 20 years of sharing our lives with disabled pets. We continue to take each order individually with careful attention to making sure the cart will serve each pet's level of disability. Our well-trained and experienced staff still design and build each cart by hand with the dog's name on it. We continue to be moved by the stories our customers tell us about their soul companions and feel privileged to be part of their lives.
Eddie's Wheels' New Home
After 6 six years incubating our business in a small rented building, it was time to grow to meet the increasing demand for our mobility carts. In September 2004 we bought a commercial building at the gateway to the Village of Shelburne Falls. On June 1, 2005, having completely renovated the building, we moved into our permanent quarters.
The new facility has room for our complete machine shop and CNC milling machine. This allows us to prototype new products and special carts as we meet the challenges of designing carts for dogs with unique disabilities. All the parts of our carts, except for the actual wheels, are fabricated in our shop.
The new home of Eddie's Wheels has two acres of gently rolling fields to try out carts on, and handicapped accessible ramps for dogs on wheels.
We have always enjoyed meeting our customers, doing measurements and fittings for dogs who live within driving distance of our shop. Dogs come from as far away as Boston, Albany,New York, Kentucky, Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire for personal service. These are the dogs we learn the most from, and we are grateful that their owners make the trip to see us.
Our new showroom includes retail space for the common accessories owners of handicapped dogs need – diapers, slings, booties etc.

Not only did we (LFC) own Man Utd all season Barca did it too lol.. yet these stupid Man Utd fans still think they're the best and furthermore just goes to show the World Club Championship is the joke tournament every football fan (aside from Man Utd ones) all knew it was...

And just how many trophies your two victories over united bring you?
- 1 Reply to willthered
Seriously Will - None....ok ?
..But what they did do was affirm the fact that we are a better team than you - head-to-head.
We do realise we haven't the squad depth you have - and that is why you won the premiership.
I should point out that if we had turned 1 of our 11 draws into a win & you had drawn 1 of your wins - we would now be champions - of course that is a big 'if' - you won the championship fair and square.
Your League cup win was based on a penalty 'lottery'.
Your World Club win was, at best, a marketing circus....
You were of course outclassed for 80 mins last night versus Barca - I won't rub it in.
If you had read some of the absolutely arrogant drivel and hatred that has been posted on this and the LFC board over the last 9 months you will know why this particular board has come in for a bit of a pounding in the last 24 hours.
..If your players and manager learn a bit of humility over the next couple of months you may win a lot of trophies next year too...but 'think' you are good enough to walk on a pitch and win next year, you may be in for a rude awakening.
Our weakness are indeed exposed with the loss to you and to Barcelona. SAF will address it even if it means we have to sell Ronaldo.
But you will continue with Rafa which is really hopeless. Btw, we are not the best, we are just 4 points better than you.

Twenty-five to 50 individuals from 1-10 populations from each island in the West Indies known to harbor extant Zamia populations [Bahamas (Andros, Eleuthera, Grand Bahama, Great Abaco, Long Island, New Providence), Cuba (15-20 populations), Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico] will be sampled. Populations from Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica and four of six Bahamian islands have already been sampled. Collections on Cuba will be supported by non-Federal funds. Twenty-five populations from Florida sufficient to cover the geographic breadth of the distribution of Zamia throughout the southeast U. S. will also be sampled. It is estimated that the total number of populations that will be sampled will range from 80 to 120, with 3600-4500 individuals genotyped with 25 SSR primers, and 1200 individuals will be sequenced across 10 nuclear genes. Bayesian approaches, Maximum Likelihood and the coalescent model will form the framework by which the SSR data will be analyzed. Phylogeographic analysis will be conducted with new software applications that handle gene tree heterogeneity, and a phylogenetic approach for evaluating conservation priority in the group will be evaluated.

Council Minutes, Page Two
May 26, 2010
Steve Lamb, asked about the "short fall" in revenue for the budget. Councilman Ricker responded to the question, stating that the Village usually receives tax revenues from the state from Alcohol Sales and Sales & Use Taxes. Governor Perdue has frozen all
payments usually distributed and we expect less in vehicle tax revenue. He also went on to point out the city of Goldsboro is considering a 5% increase in sewage rates, which will also increase expenses for the Village in fiscal year 2010-2011.
Jeff Wharton asked how many residents attended any of the budget meetings. Mayor Horne replied, one resident attended one budget meeting.
There being no more comments or discussion about the budget, Mayor Horne declared the public hearing over.
Planning Board Committee Report:
Planning Board Chairperson, David Sloan was not present, however Jeff Wharton reported for him. The 2011 budget requirements will be ready at the June council meeting. The draft of the welcome package is done and will also be ready to be presented at the June council meeting. The Planning Board has scheduled a joint session with the council on August 8th, 2010 regarding an Architectural Committee. Other recommendations from the Planning Board;
1. Open Burning - requiring a permit process for anyone that would like to burn
2. Moratorium on clear cutting lots
Lou Cook presented the Hazard Mitigation Plan for approval.
Russ Prys motioned to approve the Hazard Mitigation Plan. The motion passed unanimously.
Administrator Report:
Administrator Cook reported that the Trust Account had been opened. He also asked the council to consider requiring deposits for new utility hook-up and recycle containers and charging a fee for checks that are returned for insufficient funds. At the current time when a check from a resident is returned for insufficient funds the only fee we pass on is the $9 that the bank charges the Village. Mr. Cook asked if the council wanted to consider increasing that to keep in lines with other businesses that charge $25+ for returned checks. Councilman Ricker and Mr. Cook will have a proposal including suggested fees for the next council meeting.
Lou Cook shared the Budget Ordinance Amendment with the council. Greg Ricker motioned to pass the Amendment, it passed unanimously.

Chief Barrett then reported on the beak-in at 112 Walnut Creek Drive the weekend on May 7th-9th. The residents were out of town and did not have their alarm set nor had they notified the police station that they were out of town so an officer could make spot checks on the home.

Whereas the first episode focused on how ZombieU utilizes the WiiU's unconventional controller to deliver a unique new gaming experience, this second trailer focuses more on the plot, characters, and setting of the game. In arguably the most revealing trailer yet, ZombiU's lead writer Gabrielle Schrager tells us that there will be not one, but three main characters in the game. Each one has a different background, a different approach to surviving the zombie apocalypse, and a different role in the overall plot. Sounds intriguing.
Details on the characters aside, the trailer also reveals the origins of ZombiU's apocalypse — an event that was predicted 400 years ago by a man named John Dee, a magician in the court of Queen Elizabeth. In one way or another, it appears that all three of the games protagonists are somehow connected to this mysterious figure. At this point further details are scarce, but with the game set to be released on November 18th, it won't be long until all is revealed.

MUMBAI: Multinational pharmaceutical majors such as Sanofi, Novartis and GSK are in the race to buy out the domestic formulations business of debt-ridden Elder Pharmaceuticals.
While Sanofi and GSK have put in non-binding bids, Novartis has signed a non-disclosure agreement. Sanofi is understood to have appointed HSBC as its investment banker. Private equity funds have also started negotiations to join the bidding process, according to three people close to the transaction. Elder Pharma, mired in huge debts, has mandated Japanese Investment bank Nomura and consultancy firm Ernst & Young to find a buyer through a negotiated transaction.

The estranged boyfriend of a Caldwell woman was formally charged Monday with her murder, according to the Noble County Sheriff's Office.
Tracy L. Kay, 46, of Caldwell was found dead in her apartment Saturday night. The Noble County Sheriff's Office believe she was shot to death, but the Stark County Coroner's Office is performing an autopsy to determine the official cause of death.
The Noble County Sheriff's Office received a call from Kay's daughter Saturday evening, according to a release from the sheriff's office. Kay's daughter advised that her mother had asked her to call the police after entering her Cumberland Street apartment Saturday night and finding her ex, Larry A. Schoeppner, 34, of Belle Valley, inside.
Noble County Sheriff Stephen Hannum, two deputies and two Caldwell Police officers responded to the scene. Upon arrival, law enforcement heard gun shots coming from inside the apartment and found the door locked.
Schoeppner soon surrendered himself to authorities, according to the release.
United Ambulance was called to the scene, but Kay could not be revived and Noble County Coroner Dr. Alan Spencer pronounced her dead at the scene.
Article Map
Schoeppner is being held at the Noble County Jail on a $1 million bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 10 and a special grand jury will likely be scheduled for early October.

Creature of Fountainhead Park Part 2
10,000 Volt Monster carved by Sarah Pike
Spacekook/Robotman carved by Team Nashoba
Placed 4/10/05 by Knights of Columbo
2 Boxes Easy walk kid and pet friendly
With the gang safely assembled back at the van, Fred decides its time to go looking for the creature of Fountainhead Park. Splitting up, Shaggy and Scooby are sent off down the White trail to see what they can find.
They huddle together as they pass the cemetery on their left but remember to stay on the white trail when they cross the blue. They come to a fork in the road where the white trail seems to be everywhere. Is it a trap? Picking at random, the friends take the trail to the right.
They pass a sign that announces a shortcut, but nothing about food. With no snack in sight they stay straight and follow the white trail. The deadfall looks storm damaged. What monster did all of this damage?
The path zigs and zags and then takes a sharp right turn. A short distance ahead they spy a fallen tree on the left of the trail. From the other end they hear a crackle and they see a strange glow. Gulping, they follow the tree to where it meets another. There by the stump in a hollow on the left .there are logs hiding the 10,000 Volt Monster from them.
After stamping in and rehiding carefully they run screaming off remembering to continue on down the trail. The trail curves back on itself and the 10,000 Volt Monster starts to come for them. Scooby hops on Shaggys back and the chase is on.
They dont even notice the three in one tree on their right. Just when they think they may have lost the monster they see a tree thats been cut to allow for the trail. Theres also a windblown tree looks like its reaching for them, but theyre too tired to continue. Taking a breather they sit on the cut through tree for a moment on the left of the trail.
At the end of the tree they here what sounds like a laugh so they leap back up and run terrified down the trail in search of the others. If they had stayed they would have found Spacekook conspiring with Robotman undernearth the other large dead tree near its top. nd a few feet to the right of the V.
Our terrified heroes continue on the twists and turns. They go left at the CHOP tree to stay on the white trail and then right again at the Y. Turn left at the sign and run back to the Mystery machine for reinforcements.

Our intention with bonus rolls in RBGs is to continue to incentivize RBG participation but simplify a confusing conquest cap system.
no, this is fucking laziness. conquest cap isnt a confusing system, its a stupid system. very large difference.
this is just going to result in how arena works now where people tank rating to get caps over quickly, instead itll be tanking rbg rating for quick wins hoping you gear out faster.
any mechanic where you gear ahead of other players via RNG is completely retarded and you can't justify it's existence in any possible way (in pvp, who gives a shit about pve)

Was looking at the Arlington Baptist Church Cemetery in Mecklenburg county NC. at Richard Dixson Robertson (Robinson) 33807502 And his wife Jemima Isabelle Gaskins Robertson (Robinson)77076248 there seems to be two memorials of my mothers folks listed in the cemetery one set Robertson the correct spelling and another set with Robinson todays spelling of the name I am ready to add a lot of info to these folks that I have to fill in the needed areas on theses memorials but decided that maybe one set needs to be the only memorials in the listing here on Find A Grave. I wrote the other contributor about this she has done much on theses folks from the gaskins side usings the spelling ROBINSON the census supports Robertson from South Carolina and my mothers memory of her family. Yes I see the Stone for Richard is Robertson And the stone placed 22 years later for Isabelle is Robinson by doing the research it appears the spelling change after Richards death. I feel a merger of both of the memorials is needed to resolve the issue maybe remove yours and instead of me adding all Richards info to yours and just add the correct name spelling to the other memorials and Richards information about him and family links since she has the other half of the info on his wifes side. let me know how you feel on this thank you.

We're ever so slowly making progress in the living room – yay! Since I'm doing it on a shoe-string budget (as always), each piece is using up my over-flowing fabric stash or burning up brain power trying to figure out a cheaper ways to get what I want in an affordable way.
A major piece of our furniture needs was a bigger ottoman. More specifically, a longer ottoman. We loved the one we had, but with four folks propping up their feet at the end of a long day, it just wasn't big enough – and I didn't have $200 to build a custom one. So what did I do? Cheat my way into a $40 version of a DIY ottoman from a coffee table.
I thought long and hard about building my own base, until I found this coffee table at Goodwill for $10 – which was cheaper than building one, score! I knew it had to be 50 inches long, and this one was 54 – it's easy to take away length, but not to add, so I threw it in the back of the truck and took her home.
The 70's toned wood was killing me – so I gussied it up with my favorite spray paint. One can of Krylon Dual did the trick. I LOVE how this stuff works – and also love that I can buy it at Walmart.
If I were smarter, I would have run it though my table saw to shave 2 inches off each end before painting – but sometimes my brain gets ahead of itself, so I had to wait until mine was dry, silly Gina! It's all good, though, because after covering it, you won't see a thing!
This is my big secret – the foam mattress pad. Typically to buy a huge old chunk of foam from the fabric store, it would have been about $100, plus you still need the batting & spray. I bought all of them at Walmart, too. The mattress pad is only $10 – that's a big savings! I actually had the spray adhesive on hand, but you only need a little – and the quilt batting was about $12.
I sprayed a layer of adhesive to get the foam to stay down, just like normal.
The mattress pad was large enough for 3 layers, so the first one went with the wavy side down. Then I sprayed adhesive and put the second layer wavy side up, sprayed again and put wavy side down, so it was smooth on top. Somehow I didn't have photos of the other two layers – oops! Just remember that you want the top smooth. I trimmed each layer all the way around to make it all neat.

Girl, Stolen by April Henry
When an impulsive carjacking turns into a kidnapping, Griffin, a high school dropout, finds himself more in sympathy with his wealthy, blind victim, sixteen-year-old Cheyenne, than with his greedy father.
Check out the latest from John Green, author of award-winning books like Looking for Alaska and an Abundance of Katherines:
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green:
Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.
Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green's most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love. (Amazon.com)
For more from John Green (including lots of hilarious videos) check out his web site johngreenbooks.com.
Years ago, three-year-old Gerald was left home alone in an apartment where a fire broke out. When authorities discovered that Gerald was home by himself, he was removed from the custody of his substance-addicted mother Monique and sent to live with his aunt. While living with his Aunt, Queen, Gerald is happy. After his aunt dies when he is nine, his mother returns but now she has a new husband, Jordan, and a daughter, Angel. Gerald goes to live with them, but he soon learns that all is not well. Jordan works sporadically and is abusive towards Angel and Monique. Monique does not stand up to Jordan--in fact she spends most of her time trying to please him. Jordan's abusive behavior towards Angel is a constant source of distress for Gerald. Soon the problems escalate to a point that force Gerald's hand in Forged by Fire, by Sharon Draper.
Do you remember Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet? Well, perhaps that storyline is not true, and Juliet did not kill herself. Perhaps Romeo Montague killed Juliet Capulet. It was he, her soul mate and new husband, who committed a terrible crime. Romeo gave up Juliet to the hands of the Mercenaries, demons who seek to destroy love and separate soul mates. Juliet Immortal, a fantasy by Stacey Jay, retells the story of what happened between Shakespeare's famous lovers.
Juliet has spent seven hundred years working for the Ambassadors of Light after Nurse, her Ambassador guide, saved her soul on the night Romeo killed her. At that moment, Juliet pledged allegiance to the Ambassadors' cause, which is to bring soul mates together and make sure that their love blooms. She now spends much of her time in a dark mist, from which she is only taken out by the Ambassadors of Light to return to Earth, shift into a borrowed body, and assist soul mates. However, Romeo is working against her, and his allegiance to the Mercenaries makes Romeo and Juliet immortal enemies.
You are invited to join members of the library's Youth Services Team as they choose the title they think will win this year's Sibert Award. The youth services staff will hold a mock awards ceremony prior to the actual announcement. Please join us at 4 p.m on Thursday, January 19, in the Headquarters Library Theater.
The Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Medal is awarded annually to the author and illustrator of a children's informational book published in the United States in the preceding year. The award is named in honor of Robert F. Sibert, the long time President of Bound to Stay Bound Books of Jacksonville, Illinois. The actual award winner for 2011 will be announced at 7:45 a.m. CT on January 23, 2012.
On January 9th, team members will present and discuss the following titles which they have chosen as finalists:
Can We Save the Tiger? by Martin Jenkins and illustrated by Vicky White
The tiger is just one of thousands of animals -- including the ground iguana, the white-rumped vulture, and the partula snail -- currently in danger of becoming extinct, joining the dodo, the marsupial wolf, the great auk, and countless others we will never see again.
Flesh and Blood so Cheap: The Triangle Fire and its Legacy by Albert Marrin
Provides a detailed account of the disastrous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City, which claimed the lives of 146 garment workers in 1911, and examines the impact of this event on the nation's working conditions and labor laws.
The Girls by Amy Goldman Koss takes a look into the lives of middle-school girls and the cliques that can rule their relationships. This novel uncovers the world of bullying by presenting a first-person view from each of the five girls involved in the lost friendship. Throughout the text Koss digs deep into the workings of bullying and also gives hope to those that might experience bullying themselves.
Maya, Rene, Breanna, Darcy, and Candace have promised to be friends forever. But this all changes one day when Candace decides that Maya is no longer welcome to hang out with the girls. Maya is unaware of the girls' change of heart. She calls to invite her friends to go to an amusement park with her, but for some reason none of the girls wants to go. She soon finds out that the others are having a party, and no one even thought to invite her. This wouldn't be such a big problem except for the fact that the five of them usually do everything together.
Phineas Gage was truly a man with a hole in his head. Phineas, a railroad construction foreman, was blasting rock near Cavendish, Vermont, in 1848 when a thirteen-pound iron rod was shot through his brain. Miraculously, he survived to live another eleven years and become a textbook case in brain science.
What an amazing story! The pictures and illustrations add to the narrative, and the cover photograph of his skull is very thought-provoking. Phineas Gage: A Gruesome But True Story, by John Fleischman, approaches Phineas's life after the accident from a scientific and psychological viewpoint. Fleischman includes interviews with people who knew Gage before his accident as well as after and observed the changes in his behavior. The author also presents notes from the doctors who treated him over the eleven years following his accident. It is an amazing story of survival and the resilience of the human brain. Who would have thought that anyone could have survived even a little while--let alone talk, walk and function after such an event?
The Underdogs by Mike Lupica
Small but fast twelve-year-old Will Tyler, an avid football player in the down-and-out town of Forbes, Pennsylvania, takes matters into his own hands to try and finance the city's football team, giving the whole community hope in the process.

Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld
Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant fourteen-year-old when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. She leaves her animated, affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana, at least in part because of the boarding school's glossy brochure, in which boys in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls in kilts hold lacrosse sticks on pristinely mown athletic fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel. As Lee soon learns, Ault is a cloistered world of jaded, attractive teenagers who spend summers on Nantucket and speak in their own clever shorthand. Both intimidated and fascinated by her classmates, Lee becomes a shrewd observer of–and, ultimately, a participant in–their rituals and mores.

Hello again. If you haven't already, you should check out my post on the top 3 cards in the upcoming Star Wars LCG core set. Today, I want to take a brief look at the enormous design space presented by 6 simple, unassuming cards:
The affiliation cards. 6 different affiliations are introduced in the core set – Jedi, Sith, Rebel Alliance, Imperial Navy, Smugglers and Spies, and Scum and Villainy. For each of those affiliations, an affiliation card is included. I'm going to break down the different parts of the affiliation cards and look at what potential design space there is in the future.
The most visible component of these cards is the affiliation itself. Each card currently has one of the six current affiliations and defines your affiliation for the handful of objectives that can only be used by the matching affiliation. Perhaps the most obvious way to expand this portion of the cards is just adding new affiliations, especially if the game ever expands into the prequel era or the upcoming sequels. There could also be a neutral affiliation card, though that would probably require a power bump elsewhere on the card or the release of some "neutral only" objective sets that gave you some incentive to run it. More exciting for those of us who don't like making decisions is the possibility of multi-affiliated cards. Perhaps a Sith/Scum card or a Jedi/Rebel one (which would finally allow for sending Red 5 on a Trench Run). Of course, these would clearly be advantageous to their single-affiliation cousins and require some power compensation elsewhere on the card. Luckily, there are several more areas that could be tweaked to allow that.
Currently, each affiliation card provides 1 resource. Future cards could be made that provide 2 or more resources, or even 0! While the options aren't particularly interesting, it does exist as a way to balance other changes. Perhaps the neutral affiliation provides 2 resources, for instance. Maybe a powerful enough affiliation card would not provide any resources.
Starting Reserve
Every current affiliation card gives the same starting reserve value of 6. Like resources provided, this is an easily adjusted number to allow for other changes. In particular, the combination affiliations could be best balanced by lowering the starting reserve. Sure you could make the Jedi/Rebel card that provided 0 resources, but that would defeat half of the purpose of having a combination card in the first place. Instead, the starting reserve could be adjusted down to 5 or even 4. Now it becomes a decision: lower hand size in exchange for guaranteed resource match? You could also bump the starting reserve up higher (for the neutral affiliation, for example).
Turn Order
I'll start by saying that I find it unlikely that any future affiliation card will change turn order around at all. That being said, the option certainly exists and could do some interesting things. Perhaps one could have the Conflict phase before the Deploy phase. You'd have a disadvantage in not being able to attack with units on the turn you played them, but also an advantage in your opponent not knowing what units might still be played when deciding how to defend your attacks. Or maybe move the Draw phase to the end of the turn, which would always leave you with a full hand for defensive edge battles but weaken your offensive abilities. I'm barely scratching the surface of what could be done here, but like I said before: I am extremely doubtful that anything like this will ever be done.
There you have it: the significant design space opened up by the very existence of the affiliation cards. While it is certainly possible that the 6 cards included in the core set will be it and no more affiliation cards will ever be published, I would be surprised if FFG never utilized any of these options. More importantly though, the number of things that can be done with the seemingly innocent affiliation cards offers a glimpse at the enormous design space the game itself has to expand into. Thanks for reading, and until next time: May the Force be with you.

Although 3D graphics applications are increasingly in regular use, the development of input devices for this particular domain has evolved slowly. The desktop is still dominated by the mouse, and overall, only a small variety of input devices is commercially available. For example, for VR applications, tracked wands are commonly used--and, to a lesser degree, gloves.
In response to the need for more input devices, this article provides an overview of some of the authors' input device developments.

A Modest Proposal
by Jonathan Swift
A Modest Proposal Suffering Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Paragraph)
Quote #10
I desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals whether they would not at this day think it is a great happiness to have been sold for food at a year old in the manner I prescribe and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes as they have since gone through[…]by the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor clothes to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather, and the most inevitable prospect of entailing the like or greater miseries upon their breed forever. (34)
This is the call for action. Do you think this would be convincing enough to sway a stonyhearted reader?
