Boiling Springs man charged with disorderly conduct, assault
Published: Saturday, May 17, 2014 at 9:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 17, 2014 at 9:27 p.m.
A Boiling Springs man has been charged with disorderly conduct and two counts of aggravated assault and battery after walking toward deputies with a knife.
Rene Stcyr, 56, of 333 Bridgewater Way, faces charges after deputies were called to a disturbance at his home, according to Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office incident reports.
The reports state that Stcyr came outside, yelling obscenities after telling another man to leave the house. Stcyr told deputies that if they let the man back into the house, he "had something for him," according to the reports.
Deputies saw Stcyr walk to a bedroom, lift a mattress and retrieve an unknown item. The reports state that when deputies realized that he had a knife, they pulled their weapons and ordered Stcyr to drop it.
The reports state that after Stcyr sat on the couch silently for a minute or two, he dropped the knife and was taken into custody.
Stcyr remained in the Spartanburg County jail on $5,262 bond on Saturday.

You Are What You Watch
Cat Meets Squirrel, Offers Tour of House
On a spring evening a few years ago, I arrived home from work, sat down on the couch to go through the mail and noticed the fireplace screen was knocked over. I had the passing thought that the cats must have had been at FRAP ("frenetic random active play" or "frenetic random act of play" depending on how good your hearing is) and returned my attention to the mail.
From the corner of my eye, I saw my cat Isabella come strolling by. With a squirrel. Like she'd been giving the rodent the grand tour of the house and was heading to the kitchen to show it where we keep the food. They walked by like two Victorians on an evening constitutional. Naturally, I called the police.
Left to their own devices, our pets might befriend the unlikeliest creatures. So do animals in the wild kingdom. This week's Nature takes a look at Animal Odd Couples.

A young artist travels to a remote Italian village to restore a painting in a small out-of-the-way church. As soon as he begins his work he receives threatening phone calls warning him against restoring the painting, and a friend who had some information about the original artist, is murdered by being pushed out of a window. Later on the artist meets a young teacher and they begin to have a romantic affair while he works on the painting, as the inhabitants of the village begin to make their plans for him known.
Nearly two-thirds of the way through "Saw 3D" there comes a scene wherein the primary target of one of Jigsaw's traps must extract two of his back molars in order to find a numerical code etched on them. Let's put aside the fact that etching numbers onto someone's back molars, while still in their mouth, without them realizing the numbers are there, goes well beyond the realm of fantastic. What's more interesting about the sequence is that it almost immediately begins to feel like a snickering metaphor for the "Saw" franchise.
Another 3D poster is available for your mind to be blown by for "Saw 3D" and this one has me a little confused. Are they saying that Jigsaw/John is some sort of Mega-Robot that's going to destroy us all? Man what an awesome twist that would be.
There's a new English sub-titled trailer for "Troll Hunter" available and I couldn't be more excited about it. Truth be told I didn't know the other trailers weren't in English but sometimes I get so excited about Trolls I black out. It happens.
There's a new trailer/interview with Dario Argento for his upcoming "Dracula 3D" out on the tubes. The thing kind of looks like his home videos from his summer trip to some spooky castles and by all accounts that may actually be true. I wonder if he hits Disneyworld, I'd love to see him on It's a Small World.
It's Halloween, so that must mean "Saw" time. Let's see how many more of these Schnaars can take.
"If it's Halloween, it must be 'Saw.'" That's what the commercials have been trumpeting. And being as this is the sixth straight fall to play host to a "Saw" release, it's hard to argue with the facts. That message's recipients, however, will likely be sharply divided on its intentions: celebratory rallying cry or menacing threat of inevitability.
I'm no fashionista, but I know what awesome is and these my friends are awesome. Marc Ecko has put out a line of hoodies that pay homage to some classic movie icons as part of their Black Rhino collection. Most notably for horror fans are Jason and Jigsaw. Batman, the Joker and Kiss are also available. Need more incentive to spend your cash? Well the hoods actually zip over your face and have eye holes so you can run around with a Jason or Jigsaw mask and look like a nut job. I don't know if there is rush ordering to get these by Halloween but I sure as hell hope so.
We've often wondered around these parts whether "Saw" was going to be this generation's "Friday the 13th," and in the discussion mentioned the iconic nature of the Jigsaw character. I had by doubts, but after recently stumbling upon this video and marveling at how many "related" videos there are, I may change my tune.
I act like Jigsaw by subjecting the whole crew to "Saw V", and the results were a little more nuanced than expected.

Want a New Home? Print It
A trip to any building site will tell you that as an industry it has gone on its own way, largely untroubled by the disruptive changes that are ravaging some other industries. That may be starting to change.
We reported recently on plans by an organization to build a future city in Portugal that would use some of the common industrial techniques but apply them to the building trade.
Meanwhile the ever readable Technology Review reports on a rather more radical idea: printing buildings.
In conventional construction, workers piece together buildings from mass-produced, prefabricated bricks, I-beams, concrete columns, plates of glass and so on. Neri Oxman, an architect and a professor at MIT's Media Lab, intends to print them instead—essentially using concrete, polymers, and other materials in the place of ink. Oxman is developing a new way of designing buildings to take advantage of the flexibility that printing can provide. If she's successful, her approach could lead to designs that are impossible with today's construction methods…
Other researchers are developing technology to print walls and other large structures. Behrokh Khoshnevis, a professor of industrial and systems engineering and civil and environmental engineering at the University of Southern California, has built a system that can deposit concrete walls without the need for forms to contain the concrete. Oxman's work would take this another step, adding the ability to vary the properties of the concrete, and eventually work with multiple materials.
So called "3D printers", or additive manufacturing, typically lay down layers of plastic much like a bubble jet printer, and then uses some bonding technique to fuse the layer to the previous one, so building up a three dimensional object.

Spring football is underway in Lexington, where the VMI Keydets are in their second week of April practices.
Wednesday marked their third practice, with the team suiting up in pads for the first time this Spring.
VMI has high hopes for an improved season after last year ended with a 2-9 finish for the Keydets.
"Attitude is great. They get the change to come over here and do something about it. They just don't have to sit around and talk about what happened," head coach Sparky Woods said. "We had a great winter. Our test scores went up in terms of strength, size and speed. We've improved in that area, so carrying it to the practice field is fun. It's just another step in our preparation for next fall."
The Keydets lost six straight games to close the schedule, which makes them that much more eager to take the field this Spring.
"It drives us since the end of the season. I remember after the last game I was in the very next day watching film with Coach Woods, not only talking about our goals, not only for next season but this Spring ball," senior quarterback Eric Kordenbrock added. "We talked about how it's important to have goals for spring ball so that you can build for short term goals, reach those goals and then move on to the fall of next year. It definitely motivates us to do better. We're going to be working hard."
VMI opens the 2013 season at Richmond on August 31st.

The Apache::DB POD mentions using "use APR::Pool ();" right before "use
Apache::DB ();"
But I don't think that's the point, since there is at least some output
in the files.

But surely they're not run as plain old cgi?
Sorry, just had to ask - sometimes I found out that it was the most
obvious thing that I somehow forgot about...

For over 100 years, the Boy Scouts have been leading youth through a variety of outdoor adventures. Today, the properties and programming offered by the Aloha Council are not only educational and fun but open to ALL scouts! The core values of all our outdoor programming is still the same: develop leadership skills, get kids outdoors and have some fun.
Trained leaders provide a quality, fun-filled program for their units. When leaders understand Scouting, they are more effective in their roles. A leader in Scouting is considered fully trained and entitled to wear the Trained leader emblem when he or she has completed the training courses for their position. Outdoor skills are critical to the success of the Scouting program, and will provide leaders with the basic outdoor skills information needed to start a program right.
The purpose of the Guide to Safe Scouting is to prepare members of the Boy Scouts of America to conduct Scouting activities in a safe and prudent manner. The policies and guidelines have been established because of the real need to protect members from known hazards that have been identified through 100 years of experience. Limitations on certain activities should not be viewed as stumbling blocks; rather, policies and guidelines are best described as stepping-stones toward safe and enjoyable adventures.
As an American,
I will do my best to-
Be clean in my outdoor manners,
Be careful with fire,
Be considerate in the outdoors and
Be conservation-minded

Marthasterias is a genus of starfish in the family Asteriidae. It is monotypic and the only species in the genus is Marthasterias glacialis, commonly known as the spiny starfish. It is native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean.
Marthasterias glacialis is a fairly large starfish with a small central disc and five slender, tapering arms. Each arm has three longitudinal rows of conical, whitish spines, usually with purple tips, each surrounded by a wreath of pedicellariae. The background colour is variable and may be brownish or greenish-grey, tinged with yellow or red and sometimes with purple at the tips of the arms. This species can grow to 70 cm (28 in) but a more usual size is 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in). It is sometimes confused with the northern starfish Leptasterias muelleri.[3]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Marthasterias glacialis is native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Its range extends from Iceland to the Azores and the Mediterranean Sea, and it has been observed in South Africa.[4] Around the British Isles it is limited to the western side of Scotland, Wales, the western part of southern England and most of Ireland. Its depth range is subtidal down to about 200 m (656 ft) and it is found on both sheltered muddy substrates and on rocks.[3]
Like other starfish in the family Asteriidae, Marthasterias glacialis is a predator and feeds mostly on bivalve molluscs and other invertebrates.[5] It has been found that secondary metabolites known as saponins, found within the starfish's tissues, have a dramatic effect on the whelk Buccinum undatum. At low concentrations they cause the mollusc to withdraw from the vicinity of the starfish and at higher concentrations they cause convulsions in the mollusc's musculature.[6] The sea urchins Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis and Psammechinus miliaris are also affected by the chemicals. S. droebachiensis flees but P. miliaris has toxic pedicellariae and is able to defend itself.[7]
The reproductive biology of this starfish has been little studied but off the coast of Ireland, individuals gather together in very shallow water in July and August. A few days later, on a warm afternoon, they have been observed to arch their bodies and release spawn into the sea. A rise in the water temperature seems to have triggered the spawning. Male starfish as small as 2.5 cm (1 in) were observed to spawn, and females of at least 9 cm (3.5 in) diameter.[4]

How did I know that you would automatically take the "low" road instead of saying: "How can I get involved to help these teachers?"
Real Conservatives attempt to lift the whole rather than sink to the lowest common denominator.
We don't do it "for the reward", we do it because it is the right thing to do. There is hope (Really hope not he hopey changey thing) for the future, but not if everyone just abandons ship. Why did Terry Woods run towards the compound in Benghazi? There was not going to be a reward.
Try telling that to the several consulate members that he was able to rescue.
There are to many people who would rather sit on their collective butts pontificating about the horrible schools and disastrous administrations instead of standing up, getting involved and trying to rescue those they can.
Funny, a Philly Poll had a mural of Bambi and that was OK.
Well, yeah, duh....The regime will be pleased to know that you are finally seeing the light, comrade.
She would have been just fine if she had posted obscene comments about Romney or Ryan.
That said, I would urge such a person to not use his own name on a social media sight. I know of two police officers and a state government employee who post under nicknames. Wise choice. If I were still teaching, I would not use my real name on FB.
teachers are held to higher standards..???
Like bussing kids to Obama rallies... singing songs about how wonderful Obama is and stuff like that??
Very good. You are catching on, comrade.
...U.S. Constitution....
C'mon, try to keep up, comrade. Obamugabe don't need no steenkin' Constitution.
I got a Facebook account so I could look at others' Facebook postings. There's no way I'll post anything there. It's too much like undressing in public.
Ever wonder why Facebook doesn't have "don't like" button?
to many people
That should be **too** many people.
I noticed that you did not diagree with the facts I presented. Maqybe there is hope for uninspired retired medical "professonals."
I friend other teachers and students AFTER they graduate. Of course, my facebook name is NOT MY REAL NAME.
Still waiting for you to admit that these teachers are doing the right thing and voice some support for them.
Of course I am still waiting for you to show specifically where I insulted you on a previous thread and to apologize for your errors on another one.
Of course all of these would require a christian attitude of humility and integrity.
I wonder if I should begin to judge ALL home school parents by the example you set.
cat fight! cat fight!
Teach the teachers that it's not smart to get in bed with Monster A even if you don't particularly care for Monster B.
So here it is:
Government schools are evil. They were built from the beginning on the evil foundation of socialism. They are, and always have been an evil single-payerm compulsory-use, and socialist entitlement. That is evil.
People who support, uphold, and establish evil institutions are evil or Useful Idiots. These people should be shunned.
People who are working for the complete shut down of evil government single-payer schooling are good.
Government schooling can not be reformed because socialism and socialist programs can not be reformed. They must be abolished.
And...I believe you. I you don't work for rewards. You should be nominated for a Mother Teresa award.
They shouldn't NEED to have community support and protection from school administrators, whom if I am not mistaken, live in the US, which would make them also members of the community.
They shouldn't NEED to have community support and protection from school administrators, whom if I am not mistaken, live in the US, which would make them also members of the community.
Sorry for the double post. Don't have a clue how that happened.
What the heck does this sentence even mean? You would think that some one that went to medical school and was supposedly a medical professional would be able to put together a simple sentence.
Yeah much better plan; kick them and slap them around for doing the right thing, that always has a way of getting them on your side.
I know that all the snotty comments and personal attacks on me by wintertime has completely convinced me of your position. (I don't need the /sarc tag for that do I?)
I thought you did it because you were really serious and meant every word. (LOL)
For those of you that are not fluent in speaking "wintertime" the translation is: I don't have a cogent response and I am afraid anything say will be throwen back in my face and I will look foolish.
" Rather a stretch to have people from outside the school complaining about Facebook posts."
Unless FedGov made a deal with Facebook to get access to people's content online "to keep the kids safe".
Seems like there have been several cases where the Powers That Be can see private Facebook posts when it has something to do with a school. "Columbine style attack thwarted", for one headline, and there have been suicide interventions based on Facebook posts.
From what I read in the article if you "stand up" you'll be punished. And I have to say comparing a teacher's job to Terry Woods' heroic actions is pretty big stretch.
No analogy is ever perfect, but having worked in an inner city school for a year and a half and having done all of my student teaching in one as well, it is not a big of a stretch as you might imagine.
Several times I had to break up fights with students carrying weapons, and I was threatened with assault on two occasions, once with a weapon. We also had several drive by shootings one during school hours.
Not sure how I got on it, but would you pleaes remove me from your ping list?
And how did I know that you'd be here defending the indefensible and blame shifting onto the parents again?
Real Conservatives attempt to lift the whole rather than sink to the lowest common denominator.
And people have been singing that tune for decades and where has it gotten us? It hasn't made diddly squat of a difference.
It's well past time to realize that it isn't working and isn't likely to change and start now.
Sometimes the best thing to do is cut the funding and starve the beast.
Time to shut the whole thing down. The DoE needs to go and control of education needs to be put back into the hands of the people with the most vested interest in it, the parents.
Alright, grammar nazi educrat, if you're going to be like that about it,.....
*receiving* (post 50) is spelled *r-e-c-e-i-v-i-n-g* not *r-e-c-i-e-v-i-n-g-*
You know, *i before e except after c or in sounding like a as in neighbor and weigh.*
And *maybe* is spelled *m-a-y-b-e*, not *M-a-q-y-b-e* (post 60)
You would think that some one that went to teaching school and was supposedly a educational professional would be able to spell. And you TEACH kids?
If you're going to rag on someone about their grammar and/or spelling, you'd better make well sure that yours is perfect. Always.
And it's not.
It's the grammar, kids!
You would think that some one that went to medical school and was supposedly a medical professional would be able to put together a simple sentence. ... is missing some commas, too, imho!
You would think that some one that went to medical school, and was supposedly a medical professional, would be able to put together a simple sentence.
Rule 8 - Use commas to set off expressions that interrupt sentence flow.
I am, as you have probably noticed, very nervous about this.
First, if the teacher was stupid enough to post this on FB under "Public" (you can choose from "Public" or "Friends"), he/she probably deserves what he got. But second, I'd like to see the teacher (or his ACLU lawyer) comb the FB sites of every other teacher at that school and see what kind of pro-Obama cr*p they've been spewing. I'll bet there's lots. We need to push back against this kind of incursion against free speech.
Hey, wintertime, but what do we know about grammar? We're just ignurint homeschool mamas with our non-teaching degrees.
Hey, wintertime, but what do we know about grammar? We're just ignurint homeschool mamas with our non-teaching degrees.
Your last paragraph is exactly what I was talking about. The reward is not worth the danger. And then you have to follow the lesson plan and teach what the state tells you to teach when you could be shanked walking to your car. You gotta' love what you do, I guess.
And I think we're calling a hero by the wrong name. It's not "Terry". It's "Tyrone". Right?
I did that intentionally to make it easier for wintertime given her proclivity for spelling and grammar errors
I keep hearing him referred to as "Ty." Here in Va. that is short for either Terry or Tyler. But you are probably correct. I never meant to insult his memory.
And how did I know that you'd be here defending the indefensible and blame shifting onto the parents again?
Please show me exactly where I shifted the blame to the parents. That post was aimed squarely at wintertime. I won't hold my breath for you to admit your error. I have noticed a complete lack of christian humility in the Home Skrewlers (Intentional spelling error don't get your panties in a bunch.)
Real Conservatives attempt to lift the whole rather than sink to the lowest common denominator.
And people have been singing that tune for decades and where has it gotten us? It hasn't made diddly squat of a difference.
See that is the problem you are all to busy singing to do anything else. Maybe if you quit yammering and got off your butts things might change, but that requires actually making an effort.
It's well past time to realize that it isn't working and isn't likely to change and start now. Sometimes the best thing to do is cut the funding and starve the beast. Time to shut the whole thing down. The DoE needs to go and control of education needs to be put back into the hands of the people with the most vested interest in it, the parents.Good news I spoke to our superintendent and he spoke to the BoE. Tomorrow is going to be the last day our school is open. You have until Monday to get your plan in place to take over the education of 832 students.
We have 25 Special needs students all low functioning. There are 47 or 48 Special education students that need Resource rooms. They are medium to high functioning. We have 6 that require adaptive P.E. I am adding one to the after school program tomorrow. You will need four teachers for that. There will be 6 students in the program on Monday waiting for you. One girl uses bath salts on a recreational (Yes mom and dad are very aware of this.), one boy is having a sexual identity crisis (one of your teachers may need to help him with his makeup, seriously). The one I am adding tomorrow has had 5 violent outbursts in the last two weeks and is not allowed on the campus during regular hours.
Please send me a copy of your plan to deal with this and I will forward it to the concerned parties.
I realize that this is short notice but hey what better way to "starve the beast?"
"I cant for the life of me can understand why any capable and/or conservative person would become a public school teacher. There is no reward whatsoever."
For me, its a sense of civic duty. Old fashioned, perhaps, but that's part of my conservative outlook.

A First Amendment Right is freedom of association.
So??...Unless a parent can ransom their children from the government schools, if a government bureaucrat decides that a child MUST to associate with children similar to those described above, they MUST do this. If they don't the child and parents face court action and arrest by armed police.
( Real bullets in those guns on the hip.)
Behind all government teachers stand **armed** police to force the will of the education-industrial fascist machine.
Fundamentally, government schools are a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination...but...some teachers support and establish it ( even some who claim "no reward" for doing it.)
This has to be stopped.
, if a government bureaucrat decides that a child MUST to associate with children similar to those described above,
Please amend this to read: ..MUST associate with children...
It's been a long day creating health, wealth, and fun for the world to enjoy. I am tired.
And..."Conservative teacher" is an oxymoron!
No, conservative would agree to force a child to think and reason godlessly, yet these children **must** just to cooperate in the godless government classroom.
No, conservative would agree to support and establish an institution where the child risks learning to be comfortable with socialism. Gee! If the government socialist institution can give them tuition-free schooling, then that government is powerful enough to give them **lots** of "free" stuff. Is it any wonder that, now, half the nation looks to government as their redeemer and savior and worships at the altar of socialist handouts?
No, conservative would trash the First Amendment Rights of a child or his parent. Yet....Government schools do that every day. Government workers strictly control speech, press, assembly, and forbid free exercise and free expression of religion. And...ALL government schools **establish** a religiously non-neutral GODLESS worldview.
Yet...Some teachers ( claiming to be "conservative") consider It a public service to do the above. Sorry, I don't get their reasoning. I bet some of Pol Pot's re-education guards felt they were doing a public service, too, because they were somewhat kinder to the inmates.
Finally, I have made a personal decision. I will NOT have a government school functionary for a friend. They are too evil, too stupid, or too much of a Useful Idiot to be a friend. Government schools are destroying our nation's freedom and literally teaching children to think godlessly. I don't want to associate with that.
Once again missing the point. Medical professional huh? And thank you for proving once again that you are all talk and no action. Seriously consider making that your tagline, since I noticed you dropped the smiley face.
WOW! What a great way to create an ignorant stereotype. I think that I will stop associating with all of my homeschooling friends (The ones that I take to our school on weekends to teach them cabinetmaking, boat building and the safe use of power tools, since their parents don't have any of that equipment) on the off chance that one of them might be a narrow minded bigot that is all talk and no action.
And it is a really great idea to make them march in lock step and associate only with those that share the same group think mentality that you have.
Thankfully some of your own children were able to slough off that mindset you tried to force down their throats.

Tokyo Auto Salon 2012
Makuhari Messe
Chiba City, Japan
January 14th-16th, 2012
The time has come for the world to embrace the very best of automotive tuning and design from the land of the rising sun at Tokyo Auto Salon.Whether you're into concept cars, exotics, insane customs, drift cars, time attack machines or even Yakuza-inspired VIP luxury sedans, TAS has it all at the Makuhari Messe. Here is a preview (or teaser if you prefer) of what's to come from our coverage.
The Toyota FT-86 TRD concept was constantly surrounded by old and young, all keen to discover more about the replacement for one of Japan's most influential cars ever made – the AE86. Notable tweaks include a lower stance, front and rear fascia and 18-inch blacked out wheels.
The Subaru counterpart of the FT-86 (Scion FR-S) is this BRZ, as an STi concept. The most obvious modifications were the addition of a carbon hood, roof and bigger brakes all around.
One of the few alternatives to the BRZ STi is this BRZ Prova Black Edition which definitely stood out from the pack. Everything has been tweaked even further including more aggressive aerodynamic parts and rear spoiler.
In the Honda booth, this concept coupe had everyone drooling. We'll get more info on this potential road-car in the coming days.
Exotic aero tuners, Auto Veloce had a clean white Ferrari 458 Italia on display showcasing a complete aerodynamics package including front, sides, rear and vented front fenders. With the 458 being one of Ferraris fastest road vehicles of all time, is this overkill or just plain cool?
For the GT-R lovers, this Enkei fitted R35 took a different take with its design cues. A more aggressive front end mates to wider venturi-like front fenders and a widebody rear end.
The camber police definitely out-cambered the competition… wouldn't you say?
The first D1 demo of the 3 day event showcased many cars including this yellow R34. More photos to come!
A nice rally-spec Subaru STi shows off with some tire smoke.
Stay tuned in the coming days for full event coverage and highlights from the biggest tuner-esk show in the world. If you could attend Tokyo Auto Salon, what would your #1 booth visit be? We want to know!

There appeared to be no breakthrough in talks between world powers and Iran, a week before the deadline to strike a landmark nuclear deal.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and the foreign ministers of Britain, France, and Germany arrived in Vienna on July 13 looking to press Iran to make key concessions over its nuclear program.
But the European ministers left late on July 13 saying no breakthrough had been made, although Kerry remained for further discussions with his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Javad Zarif, that are expected to continue on July 14.
Reuters quoted a senior U.S. State Department official as saying Kerry would "gauge Iran's willingness to make the critical choices it needs to make."
"[Kerry] will take the time necessary to have that discussion, and that's why they will be meeting again today, to see if progress can be made," the official added.
Britain's William Hague said that no "decisive breakthrough" was achieved and that there remained a "huge gap" on the key issue of uranium enrichment.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said that "positions are still far apart," and the ministers had come to "try to narrow differences."
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said he and other Western foreign ministers had made clear in meetings with Iranian officials that "the ball is in Iran's court."
"It is now time for Iran to decide whether they want cooperation with the world community or stay in isolation," he told reporters.
Major Disputes Remain
The United States and Iran had warned earlier on July 13 that major disputes remained in the talks.
Kerry said that "obviously we have some very significant gaps still, so we need to see if we can make some progress."
Kerry's cautionary remarks were echoed by the senior Iranian negotiator, Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi.
Iranian state television quotes Araqchi as saying July 13 that "we have not been able to narrow the gaps on major issues and it is not clear whether we can do it."
The main sticking point is uranium enrichment, a process which can produce nuclear fuel -- Iran's stated aim -- but also material for a nuclear bomb.
A senior U.S. official present at the Vienna negotiations said July 12 that there has been some progress in the negotiations but that on some issues Iran holds some "unworkable and inadequate" positions.
The U.S. official cited as one example of such positions last week's remarks by Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.
"Their aim is that we accept a capacity of 10,000 separative work units (SWUs), which is equivalent to 10,000 centrifuges of the older type that we already have," Khamenei said in a statement published on his website late on July 7. "Our officials say we need 190,000 SWU. Perhaps this is not a need this year or in two years or five years, but this is the country's absolute need."
The six powers want a sharp reduction, however, with Western powers saying that Iran's activities in this area should be a "fraction" of what they are now.
The senior U.S. official in Vienna also made it clear that if there is no agreement by July 20, the U.S. Congress and the president will maintain their positions regarding Iran and it is fully clear that all options will remain open.
The official told Radio Farda that without considerable progress it would be very hard to renew the temporary Geneva agreement with Iran.
Araqchi on July 12 warned that Tehran was ready to walk away if "excessive" Western demands caused the talks to fail.
"If we see the excessive demands persisting and that a deal is impossible, this is not a drama, we will continue with our nuclear program," Araqchi said.
Many experts believe that if Kerry fails to get Iran to give ground he will recommend to U.S. President Barack Obama that the July 20 deadline -- when a November interim deal expires -- be pushed back.

Shown in this photograph are Sarah "Sadie" and Thomas O. McCool Sr. of Henryville, the parents of Henry McCool, a retired district judge who still lives in Stroudsburg with his wife, Connie; and Thomas "Tom" McCool, who died in 2000.
Although the younger Tom, a gunsmith, owned and operated McCool Gun Co. and Shooting Ranges in Henryville for 30 years, the elder Thomas, who moved to the Poconos with his wife in the 1930s, is believed to have founded the company.
The couple are also the grandparents of Col. Terence "Terry" McCool, retired. Terry's wife, Suzanne Fretz McCool, loaned the photo to the Pocono Record. It may have been taken during the 1940s.

Just when I thought Chew Valley couldn't get any better, a snippet from Bristol Ornithological Club's newsletter alerted me that a little stint there has been re-identified as this North American peep. A little stint that was present from November 10 to 20. A quick check of my records and, yes, the stint that I found at the sharp-tailed sandpiper twitch was on the 19th. Not a stint then but semipalmated sandpiper.
Blimey! Add the two long-billed dowitchers and the long-staying spotted sandpiper (which I didn't see that day) and… it was really rather splendid. And… yes, I am counting the semipalm. At the distance I had no chance of separating it from a stint anyway, even had I known to do so.
That's 288 for my British list and of course another for Somerset and a short-eared owl at Steart six days ago made that 173. It was almost the only bird I saw there. The weather forecast for Portishead had been dry but further down the M5 a succession of black showers rolled in and curtailed the birding after half an hour. No matter: the owl was hunting as I stepped out of the car and continued to show well.
I hadn't expected it, the rationale behind the trip being storm-blown seabirds. They had never been on: the tide at Bridgwater Bay goes out a looong way and it was low tide. Still, it was good to check out another top county birding site. It's only taken me two years to get round to it…

Colorado School of Mines could be on the cutting edge of a potential new energy source.
The Golden school has received $225,000 to research how to extract energy from advanced methane hydrates, which are ice-lattice structures with natural gas locked inside. They can be found in places including the Arctic permafrost and in ocean sediments along most continental shelves worldwide.
Researchers have been able to safely extract a steady flow of natural gas from methane hydrates in Alaska. Work is still needed to see if it can be done commercially and to assess resource volumes, especially in deepwater settings.
The Energy Department said Friday that School of Mines will be conducting laboratory experiments to determine how methane hydrates can be detected using seismic methods.

Basic Baby Needs-Baby Clothes, Basic Layette, Feeding and Bedding NeedsWritten by on April 4th, 2009
What does a baby really need in the first weeks at home? The answer is – not much. This baby needs checklist will help you choose the basic baby items, often called a layette, that a baby needs to have in the first precious weeks of life.
Baby Needs: Clothing and Layette
* 5-10 onesies or rompers, depending on how often you want to do laundry
* 5-7 baby sleepers or nightgowns
* 1 cold weather sleeper if necessary
* 5-7 pairs of baby socks
* 1-2 newborn hats, depending on climate
Baby Needs: Diapers and Bath Items
* 2 packs of disposable diapers or enough cloth diapers for at least two days. Newborns can soil up to 10 diapers per day.
* 1 pack of disposable wipes or 10 cloth wipes
* Waterproof pad for diaper changes
* 3-5 baby washcloths
* 1-2 hooded towels, if desired.
* Adult towels will work, too.
* 1 bottle of gentle baby wash
* Baby nail clippers
* Digital thermometer
Baby Needs: Bedding and Feeding
* 3-4 fitted sheets for crib, cradle, co-sleeper or bassinet
* 5-7 lightweight blankets
* 1-2 heavier blankets, depending on climate
* 10 burp cloths
* 5-8 bottles, if you're bottle feeding
* Breastfeeding pillow, if desired
That's it! While there are many baby products on the market that make a parent's life easier, most are wants, not needs. While it may be tempting to buy every gadget on the shelf, remember, your baby will be just as happy with the basic items that he or she really needs.

It's also pretty confusing from a distance to understand what is actually required to swim with and photograph the manatees... There seemed to be a lot of rules, but exactly how they apply to underwater photographers was not clear . . . access to the manatees is changing . . . I will update my site when the ramifications of the proposed changes at the Crystal River go in to place.
There are some severe restrictions being proposed for Three Sisters (the best viewing and interaction area) for the upcoming season that will, IMHO, pretty much eliminate much of what we've enjoyed in the past. Three Sisters has certainly become overrun in the last few years to the point where manatees are getting crowded out. Visitor counts have gone from 60,000 in 2010 to almost 140,000 in 2014. There's opportunity for public comment but here's the gist of what's being proposed:
1. No more than 29 people (including guides) in Three Sisters at any given time.
2. All people must be escorted by FWS-certififed guide, max 4:1 ratio.
3. Only 5 companies will be issued guide permits, to be determined by application & lottery.
4. Access limited to 9AM - 4PM.
5. No kayaks.
6. Full closure of Pretty Sister and Little Sister lobes.
7. Full closure to people of the small slough (spring run) from the channel.
8. They will build inside the spring area, a floating dock and create a parking area for access.
9. No flash photography allowed.
10. No fins allowed.
11. Wetsuits required, must be predominantly black.
12. Photogs may not submerge to take a picture (so your lovley cover shot would have been illegal).
13. Commercial photogs (which includes people who post photos just on their own sites) need to get an SUP (Special Use Permit - $300), plus have a guide with them, to shoot.
14. No more than 2 photogs at a time, lottery system to be instituted during "open application season".
There's other stuff, but this ought to be enough to horrify you for now.
I will say that the the FWS people are really good about communicating with the stakeholders. Because I've taken groups there over the years, I'm on their contact list and have had frequent conversations with them about all of this. And while this all may seem pretty Draconian, they're really getting overwhelmed with visitors, far beyond what the Springs can handle, and the Manatees suffer for it. So it all comes from a good place and comes partly from an inability or unwillingness of the general public and the local operators to do any kind of self-policing or self-limiting.
Public comment is open until September 4. The full PDF document is available here: http://www.fws.gov/s...WR-07312015.pdf .

(Of a person or their conduct) characterized by or showing a lack of shame; barefaced or brazen: his shameless hypocrisy
More example sentences
- I'm pretty shameless about that, because at a certain point that becomes your challenge because you get bored.
- Each time I met this shameless fellow, my first instinct was to slap him and tell him to get lost.
- He was shameless, he knew what buttons to push and readily did so.
flagrant, blatant, barefaced, overt, brazen, brash, audacious, outrageous, undisguised, unconcealed, transparent;
unabashed, unashamed, without shame, unembarrassed, unblushing, unrepentant
archaic arrant
- Example sentences
- Paul gave evidence of my promiscuity and of my shamelessness in seducing him away from his betrothed for the satisfaction of my base lustful cravings.
- As the postscript to 'Curry, Cricket, and Cramps' suggests, shamelessness is a function of the narrative act itself; it is the willingness to speak about what is 'not publicly-aired enough.'
- It would mean untangling the strains of triumphalism that run through American culture, from the way we celebrate victories on the sports field to the festivals of public shamelessness and humiliation visible on 'reality' TV shows.

Thank you for the video. I was selling the shirts at the booth in Las Vegas. A lot of kids were asking if the shirts were free and when I answered, they walked away. One kid asked how much and when we answered, he said "Thank you." For some reason, it made my day. Such a sweet kid.
I send cards to my family members (three brothers and a sister, cousins, aunts, and others) for their birthdays, Holidays, Thank Yous, and others. Most of them never do the same thing back to me. My friend asked why am I still sending cards if they don't send me one. It's because, like you said, I'm grateful.

FBT and cars - flat 20% valuation rate to apply
The Government announced that the current statutory formula 4 -percentage rate scale method for valuing car fringe benefits be replaced with a single statutory rate of 20%, regardless of the number of kilometres travelled.
The changes will apply to new vehicle contracts entered into after 7:30pm (AEST) on 10 May 2011, and will be phased in over 4 years
The flat 20% rate will particularly benefit those who drive less than 15,000 kilometres, resulting in an FBT saving. For those who drive between 15,000 and 25,000kms pa, there will be no change - the rate stays at 20%. For those who drive between 25,000 and 40,000kms pa, the rate will rise from 11% to 20% over 3 years. For those who drive more than 40,000kms pa, the rate will rise from 7% to 20% over 4 years
People who use their vehicle for a significant amount of work-related travel will still be able to use the "operating cost" (or "log book") method to ensure their car fringe benefit excludes any business use of the vehicle.
Those driving more than 25,000 kilometres a year might find that using the alternative operating cost method will be more beneficial.

The UK Government could cut its ICT bill by a third through the adoption of flexible working policies and virtual desktops, it has been claimed.
According to data obtained by virtualisation giant Citrix via a Freedom of Information (FOI) Act request, each public sector employee is allocated an average of 1.1 desks.
The figures also revealed that certain departments are doing a better job than others when it comes to utilising desk space, with staff in the Law Officers' Department and Department of Energy and Climate Change having access to 0.8 and 0.9 desks, respectively.
Meanwhile, employees in the Office for Standards in Education were allocated 1.6 desks per person.
The FOI request also revealed that maintaining the Government estate cost taxpayers around £490.40 per square metre during 2010/2011, with an average outlay of £47.9 million per department.
Citrix claims this bill could be reduced by around 32 per cent by encouraging public sector employees to adopt flexible working practices and make better use of technology.
James Stevenson, area vice president of Citrix in Northern Europe, said virtual desktops and other flexible working tools could halve the number of desks the Government has to maintain.
"This not only means cost savings which can be passed onto taxpayers, but also presents a fantastic opportunity to transform the way government works, making it more agile and efficient while at the same time improving frontline service delivery," he added.

The eastern parts of the country have the dubious distinction of having the highest proportion of population under the poverty line. More than 40% of the population is below the poverty line in all the eastern states. Ironically, however, these are not necessarily the states which account for the largest absolute number of people under the poverty line. On the other hand, in absolute terms, these states have the least number of people below the poverty line.
The only exception is Bihar, which has the second largest number of poor in absolute terms and the highest number in percentage terms. Nearly 44% of Bihar's rural population lives below the poverty line, which translates into 4 crore people.

My Ántonia
by Willa Cather
My Ántonia Society and Class Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
His girls never looked so pretty at the dances as they did standing by the ironing-board, or over the tubs, washing the fine pieces, their white arms and throats bare, their cheeks bright as the brightest wild roses, their gold hair moist with the steam or the heat and curling in little damp spirals about their ears. They had not learned much English, and were not so ambitious as Tony or Lena; but they were kind, simple girls and they were always happy. When one danced with them, one smelled their clean, freshly ironed clothes that had been put away with rosemary leaves from Mr. Jensen's garden. (2.12.21)
It's interesting that the traits which make the hired girls somehow "beneath" the wealthy girls are the same traits that make them more sexually attractive to the boys of the town. It's almost a "forbidden fruit" situation. Notice that these girls are described as possessing the same sort of vitality and energy that so draws Jim to Ántonia.
Quote #5
The dance at the Firemen's Hall was the one thing I looked forward to all the week. There I met the same people I used to see at the Vannis` tent. Sometimes there were Bohemians from Wilber, or German boys who came down on the afternoon freight from Bismarck. Tony and Lena and Tiny were always there, and the three Bohemian Marys, and the Danish laundry girls. (2.12.24)
The dances held at the Fireman's Hall were aimed more at the country people, whereas the dances in town were aimed at the merchant families. That's why it's socially acceptable for Jim to attend the latter, but not the former.
Quote #6
Ántonia looked eagerly about the house and admired everything. `Maybe I be the kind of girl you like better; now I come to town,` she suggested hopefully. (2.3.3)
Ántonia recognizes that her value is dependent on her social status. The social barriers in this time and place are out in the open, not buried or hidden.

Singhal appeals to Ramdev to end fast
Singhal said that a large number of Hindu saints have already appealed to Ramdev to end his fast.
Shimla: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) president Ashok Singhal on Saturday appealed to yoga guru Ramdev to end his fast and lead the movement against black money and corruption more aggressively.
"A large number of Hindu saints have already appealed to Ramdev to end fast...he should honour their sentiments and give up his fast to aggressively lead the movement," Singhal told a press conference in Shimla.
Refuting the charge that the RSS had planned Ramdev's stir, he said the agitation was planned and organised by Bharat Swabhiman Trust of the yoga guru and the RSS, VHP and other Hindu organisations supported the cause.

I'm asked who my favorite actor or actress is. I say my favorite is whoever I can get a job with. She goes continues on the favorite actor or actress thing then says casting directors would be interested in me. All I need to do is go "Pro".
She talks fast with an accent I am sure is not American. Her goal is to drive me to buy Pro. I tell her I want to hear something deifinite. If you say a movie is being shot in my town, when is that going to happen? No answer. I've seen movies shot in my city and dates are generally known. [continued below]....
I'm told the company will pay my travel expenses to a shoot. At my level I know that is probably a lie. Bruce Willis, yes. His extras, no. The testimonials look very convincing but I'm not convinced this is strictly legal. I'm not buying into it.

Maple Grove Cemetery
Wyoming County
New York USA
Maple Grove Cemetery:
First Name
Last Name
Cemetery notes and/or description:
Maple Grove has three (3) sections starting from East Road as #1, #2, #3 with a last section known as N, (the far field edge). There are at present seven (7) ranges going from the west (open field) to the east (Jordan Road). The building is located at Section #1, Range #1.
The Gainesville Cemetery Association was formed under New York State laws in April of 1849 at the district number nine schoolhouse. The trustee meeting of March 8, 1882, had M.F. Bristol and J. Shaver chosen to act to purchase ten acres of land from John M. Lawrence for the sum of one thousand dollars. The grounds on East Road, Town of Gainesville, Tax Map ID #133-1-27, were to be known as Maple Grove Cemetery. Bristols, Hickeys, Cravaths, Allens, are just some of the early pioneers buried in a cemetery that has grown over the years as "a fit resting place for the dear ones gone before", a statement made by the first trustees. It has and is living up to the statement providing a well maintained cemetery. Information has come from Wyoming County Historian Office, Stanley Rutherford, Town of Gainesville Historian, visual walks and readings, and area newspapers to provide people with a means to be in touch with their past.

if i'm reading the output you've sent correctly, linux is getting
the interrupt mappings from ACPI not the MP table. and your
mp table is broken. i don't know very much about linux irq
handling or acpi irq tables, but it's likely that your mb manufacturer
didn't think a full mp table was worth his time.
so, i guess this is the menu of options in increasing amount
of effort and accomplishment:
1. *nomp=1
2. bios update.
3. figure out what the mp table should be from the acpi
tables and forge an mp table for archmp's benefit.
4. teach plan 9 to parse the acpi irq tables.
cheer up! the acpi documentation is less than two feet
