In highfalutin' acting circles, it's said that American performers are trained to work from the inside out, crafting a character's inner life before working on external traits, like voice and clothing. Conversely, British actors are said to work from the outside in, where a character's clothing, hair, make-up, walk, posture, and even footwear serve as entry points for a characterization. Guess which of these methods Johnny Depp probably embraces? And, if so, can he stop already? Between the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Alice in Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Dark Shadows, and now The Lone Ranger, Depp's fondness for playing dress-up is getting him too far away from the days he was considered an actor of serious merit, not just the coolest tentpole star around (although Robert Downey Jr. has arguably stolen that crown).
In The Lone Ranger, Depp plays Tonto, the title character's Comanche sidekick, with a face full of stone-colored make-up and a dead crow atop his head. Darting his eyes and contorting his face into comical shapes while cracking wise with a slightly overdone injun accent, Depp plays it like a silent film clown. It's a take on the character that doesn't serve the movie very well and isn't particularly focused.
Then again, the entire affair never finds its center, as director Gore Verbinski, the best of the big-budget visual fetishists, can't decide if he's making an archetypical Western, an atypical Western, or a full-blown action comedy. Of course, what Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer are really making is a quasi-sequel to their massively successful Pirates of the Caribbean series, which is the crux of The Lone Ranger's problem. Instead of making something reminiscent of another movie, Verbinski and Bruckheimer should have made something that works on its own terms. The one attribute The Lone Ranger and the Pirates series do share is an unfortunate one: they're both confused and long-winded slogs.
Verbinski's The Lone Ranger is the latest movie based on the exploits of the masked Texas crime fighter who made his debut in a 1933 radio serial, long before sarcasm and irony became the coin of the realm in American culture. So from the outset, it's questionable whether an upright lawman of sincerity and rectitude would even resonate with today's jaded audiences. Verbinski's solution is for Armie Hammer to play the part as a dull, violence-averse, and dweeby target for Depp's verbal depredations. In other words, in the movie that bears his name, The Lone Ranger is reduced to being the sidekick to the sidekick.
Hammer, best known as both Winklevoss twins in David Fincher's The Social Network, is an actor of considerable handsomeness and vertical length. Here he's game for anything, including being dragged through a pile of horse manure and getting buried up to his neck in dirt. However, Hammer lacks the charisma to share the screen with Johnny Depp and has trouble navigating the various tones that Verbinski can't decide between.
The Lone Ranger: 'Frisky' and 'bloated'
The tone of The Lone Ranger's opening suggests we're in for something frisky and cracked (like Verbinski's superior revisionist Western, Rango), but also bloated and too densely plotted (like the Pirates of the Caribbean series). Establishing the film's unnecessary flashback structure, a young boy in 1933 visits an Old West carnival exhibit in San Francisco. There he encounters an elderly Tonto (Johnny Depp in old-age make-up), who springs from a Noble Savage diorama to regale the kid with the long-ago story of meeting by-the-book prosecutor and future Lone Ranger John Reid (Armie Hammer).
This being a film co-written by the Pirates duo of Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio (along with Justin Haythe), needless complications quickly drain the fun out of The Lone Ranger. Yet, the 19th-century set-up is encouraging. A train bound for Colby, Texas, carries earnest, bumbling Reid and two prisoners: the villainous Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner, nailing it) and a certain Comanche Indian. When Cavendish escapes and the train crashes spectacularly, Tonto disappears while Reid is deputized by his lawman brother, Dan (James Badge Dale), to help him find the snaggletoothed outlaw.
During their pursuit, the Cavendish gang stages a surprisingly brutal ambush where Dan is killed and John is left for dead. Tonto turns up to revive John, proclaim him an invincible spirit walker (complete with spirit horse), and fashion him a black mask made from Dan's clothing. Together they hunt for Butch, a quest reminiscent of John Ford's The Searchers, another Western about a man trying to find his brother's killer while harboring deep feelings for his brother's wife. (Dan's wife and the object of John's affection is played by Ruth Wilson, who's spunky but overmatched by the film's sheer size.)

Each year, the Orientation staff selects a group of dedicated undergraduate leaders to assist with implementing Orientation programs during the spring, summer and fall. Orientation Leaders serve as guides for new students who are making the transition from their previous environment to the diverse academic, intellectual and social culture of SWOSU.
Orientation Leaders are expected to possess a specific body of knowledge about SWOSU acquired through experience and training, and they sincerely must be interested and skillful in sharing this information with Orientation participants. Selection to the team of Orientation Leaders is a unique honor and rewarding opportunity for personal and professional growth.
SWOSU Orientation Leaders are students who are well respected, academically successful and leaders in their community. Students are selected for this premier program because of their interpersonal skills, academic achievements and leadership abilities.
In addition to fulfilling the duties of an orientation leader, members of the advisory board will play a greater role in planning orientation and training sessions. The members will serve as liaisons between the OLs and Orientation staff.
Students interested in applying to serve as Orientation Leaders may begin the process by completing an application. (Applications are typically due in mid-September). Applicants then complete a group interview. New Student Orientation makes final selections after individual interviews.
The following is a summary of the significant expectations for which Orientation Leaders are responsible:

Makes you appreciate your life doesn't it?
This happened last winter. It was a big deal, but very sad. Most people speculate that the cause of death was that he blew his eardrum out and lost his equilibrium. And he was the only one out that day without a vest on. It wasn't the impact, as his feet where tombstoning out of the water.

HTML Purifier 3.0: For PHP5 Only, More CSS
Version 3.0.0 of HTML Purifier, a PHP library for purifying HTML has just been released with numerous new features.
The major change relates to the handling of style instructions. The new version of the library ignores case in CSS property handling, and it offers experimental support for a number of proprietary CSS extensions. The PHP "HTMLPurifier_Filter_ExtractStyleBlocks" class can filter style segments out of the HTML code and pass them in to the external CSSTidy tool for validation and purifying.
Version 3.0.0 is also the first HTML Purifier release to support PHP 5 only. It is suitable for any PHP 5 version and uses the "E_STRICT" setting for error reporting. The developers will continue to maintain the Purifier 2.1.x branch for PHP 4 developers until PHP 4 officially reaches deprecated status.
HTML Purifier is mainly suitable for handling HTML code entered by users, such as in Web forums. The library uses a configurable whitelist of desirable HTML elements to restrict output on websites. At the same time, Purifier prevents attacks relying on cross-site scripting (XSS) and ensures standards conform HTML. A demo page gives visitors a first impression of the features.
HTML Purifier is released under the LGPL Version 2.1 or newer. A tarball with the source code and an installation how-to for PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) are available from the project's download page.

Skill Level Intermediate
In this lesson, we'll take a color photograph, and apply a variety of creative effects, to produce a result that has the look of an old faded photo. Of course, with an old photo immediately makes me think of a black and white image. So I'm going to start by adding a black and white adjustment layer. I can fine tune the overall appearance of the image. Perhaps darkening or lightening specific color values. And maybe I'll brighten up the truck a little bit. And darken up some of the background. And that looks to be pretty good as a starting point. And then I'd like to add a sepia tone type of effect. So I'm going to turn on the Tint check box.
You can see I have a basic sepia effect right off the bat. But it's a little too saturated, and not quite the right color. So I'm going to click the Color swatch. And in the Color Picker, I'll find a different color. I'm going to choose the Hue option here. And I think I'd like something that's just a little bit more yellowish, perhaps. And I'm going to reduce the saturation. I want a very subtle color effect in this particular case. So I'll reduce the saturation quite significantly. And that looks much better, I'm going to click OK, and we're off to a pretty good start.
I'd now like to brighten up the image, mostly to produce contrast and give it something of a faded effect, so I'm going to add a Curves Adjustment layer, and in curves, I'm mostly going to focus on just brightening up the overall image. I don't want to blow out the highlights, and so I'm not really going to adjust the endpoints I could drag the black end point up little bit. And that will cause the darkest areas of the image to no longer be black. It will be a shade of grey effectively although, in this this case, of'course with the CP, I attempt to it. So somewhat in there and may be brightened up just a little bit more. I don't want to loose too much contrast.
Because then the image will start to look extremely flat. I just want it to look faded. I think that's a pretty good effect for the moment. I could always come back and refine this a little bit later as I continue to finalize the effect. As long as I'm lightening the image, I think I'd like the edges to fade a bit more, so I'm going to click on my background image layer. So I'm going to choose Filter, Convert for Smart Filters, and then click OK so that I can convert my background image layer to a smart object that I can use smart filters on, and then I will choose Filter Lens Correction from the menu.
I'll turn off any of the Autocorrection options, in this case just Geometric Distortion, and then click Custom. And I will increase the value for amount under vignette to lighten the edges under the image. I can adjust the midpoint as well, I think in this case I'd like to pull it actually in toward the center of the image to lighten up a larger area. And that looks to be pretty good, I'll go ahead and click OK, and then I can adjust the overall intensity of this effect by double-clicking on the Ctrl button on the far right of lens correction, and reducing my opacity control.
And somewhere right about there, looks like about 85% will work well in this particular case. And then I might add a texture effect to the image. I'm still working on my Smart Object, my Image Layer that's been converted for Smart Filters, so I can simply choose Filter, Texture, and then Texturizer. I think in this case I will use canvas. I can adjust the scaling of the effect and the relief. In other words the strength of the effect. And I'll go ahead and click OK. And again I'd like to reduce the overall opacity of this texturizer filter. So I'll double-click the control to the right of texturizer. And reduce the opacity in this case fairly significantly. I just want a very subtle texture to show through in the image, and I'll click OK, and that looks to be a pretty good adjustment.
And I think I might even dodge and burn just a little bit, so I'm going to go to the top of my layer stack here, and then I will hold the Alt key on Windows or the Option key on Macintosh while clicking on the Create New Layer button at the bottom of the layers panel. And I will give the new layer a name. We'll just call it Dodge and Burn, in this case. And I'll change the blend mode to overlay and then check the box to fill with the overlay neutral color of 50% gray. We'll go ahead and click OK to create that layer. And now, choosing my brush tool, I'll press D on the keyboard to get my default colors of black and white.
Make sure that I'm working with a soft edge brush, a 0% hardness. The blend mode on the Options bar should be set to Normal. The overlay blend mode is set on the dodge and burn layer. And I will work with a 20% opacity in this case, because I would like a fairly strong effect. But 20 is about the most that I would ever use, and I can press X as needed to switch my foreground and background colors. And I can lighten or darken specific areas of the image as I would like we'll go ahead and paint some darkening effects in the background here.
Maybe darken up, well not that much. But darken up, part of the truck here. And mostly just kind of painting with light. Just adding a little bit of texture here and there. Adding some density in certain places and reducing density in others. I might even exaggerate that vignetting effect a little bit, by lightening some of the edges. Especially down toward the bottom where it was not as readily visible in the image, and that's looking to be a lot more interesting. So I just dodged and burned. Lightened and darkened specific areas of the image as I'd like, and that looks to be a rather interesting effect. I'm going to hold the Alt key on Windows or the Option key on Macintosh while clicking on Eye icon associated with my image layer. That will cause only that image layer to be visible, now in this case, that also means the filter effects are currently visible, my vignette and my texture. But this still gives me a pretty good sense of the before version of the image, and then I can again, holding the Alt or Option key, click on the Eye icon for that image layer, once again to enable all of the layers, and I see the final effect.
By blending multiple techniques for a single image, you can achieve a creative effect that is very impactful. One of the things I enjoy most about this sort of approach is that it can often transform an ordinary image into something much more interesting.

When I viewed the software, I realized that this was not something I could do. I immediately e-mailed US Resellers to cancel and request that my account be credited. I never used the software. I got no response and didn't have a phone number for them. At that time, my bank was sending only the front of my cancelled checks and so I didn't know that the phone number of the payee would be on the back of the cancelled check.
In February 2004, my bank statement showed that another $79 had been debited from my checking account in the amount of $79. I was banking online and, when I viewed my cancelled check, I saw the address and phone number of US Resellers. I tried to call several times and e-mailed.
Finally a company rep told me to download the USR Refund Request form. I e-mailed customer service again to confirm their address and got no response. I completed it and sent it with a copy of my cancelled check to the address on the back of the check (the only address I could find): USR Refund Recovery, 6556 Rosemoor St., Suite 200, Pittsburgh, PA 15217. I received it back from the postal service marked "Attempted Not Known." I phoned again (412.422.9048)and got a recording saying the voice mail box was full. I'll keep trying!

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish you file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 # , and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/comptroller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

S&P may cut Metris Cos senior unsecured debt ratingWednesday January 29, 3:19 pm ET (The following statement was released by the rating agency)NEW YORK, Jan 29 - Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today placed its ratings on Metris Cos. Inc. (NYSE:MXT - News; Metris)-including the company's 'B' long-term counterparty credit and senior unsecured debt ratings and its 'CCC+' subordinated debt rating-on CreditWatch with negative implications.ADVERTISEMENT The CreditWatch listing follows the Minnetonka, Minn.-based credit card company's announcement that it is reporting a loss of $48.5 million for fourth-quarter 2002.With this loss and charge-offs continuing to run at elevated levels, Standard & Poor's is concerned that funding for the company may become increasingly limited. The company's funding alternatives are already under pressure as management continues to shrink deposits in its bank subsidiary and the ratings of many of its ABS have been downgraded."Standard & Poor's will decide whether to affirm or lower the ratings once it meets with management to discuss the status of the company's discussions with its bankers, as well as any progress in reining in loan losses and restoring profitability," said credit analyst Daniel Martin. Complete ratings information is available to subscribers of RatingsDirect, Standard & Poor's Web-based credit analysis system, at www.ratingsdirect.com. All ratings affected by this rating action can be found on Standard & Poor's public Web site at www.standardandpoors.com; under Fixed Income in the left navigation bar, select Credit Ratings Actions.
How much will this impact the stock price? What can they cut to and how will each level be represented in the share price?
I think other agencies will follow S&P. When the debt is dowgraded then they need to pumped more cash and borrowing will become hard and expensive. While a company like COF can borrow money at 5% or less they have to offre 15% or more. The bond that they advertising is for 11% and nobody wants to buy it.
Ummm, let's see...that news came out at 3:19 PM....and MXT just ran higher!!!Last aftrhours quote: $1.62 x $1.70 !!See ya at $3++ next week!!

Posted on 12/09/2003 2:56:08 AM PST by John W
ABBEVILLE, S.C. (AP) - A father and son angered by a state plan to seize some of their land allegedly shot and killed an officer who went to the home, sparking a 13-hour standoff that ended in a "horrendous gunfight" in which another officer was killed, authorities and neighbors said. At least 100 officers surrounded the rural home of Arthur Bixby in western South Carolina on Monday. Bixby's wife then holed up in an apartment in town and threatened to shoot bystanders if her husband or son were injured; she was promptly arrested, State Law Enforcement Division Chief Robert Stewart said.
It began Monday morning when a magistrate's officer went to the house in a rural part of the state to follow up on an incident from the previous week involving a dispute between Department of Transportation workers and someone from the house, officials said.
When the officer failed to return, two deputies went to the Bixby home looking for him.
What happened next is unclear, but the deputies called for help and law enforcement officials surrounded the home, and the standoff began.
Eleven hours later, officers unsuccessfully tried to storm the home and were shot at with powerful weapons, Stewart said.
"I've never seen so much force," Stewart said. None of the family members tried to negotiate with officers during the standoff.
"This was planned," Stewart said.
The gunfight lasted about 10 minutes and police fired tear gas inside the home. Bixby's son, 36-year-old Steven Bixby, surrendered. Two hours later, officers entered the home and arrested Arthur Bixby, who apparently was wounded in the gunfight. He was hospitalized and his condition was not available early Tuesday.
No formal charges had been filed as of early Tuesday.
At some point during the standoff, the Bixbys destroyed two remote control robots authorities sent into the house to figure out what was happening, Stewart said.
Inside the home, authorities found a dead deputy and what they described as anti-American literature and suicide notes. Similar material also was found inside the apartment in town where Bixby's wife was arrested. Authorities did not say whose apartment it was.
Stewart said the family had prepared for the standoff and fortified the house's doors to make it harder for police to break in.
Authorities identified the two dead officers as Danny Wilson and Donnie M. Ouzts.
Ouzts apparently had been shot from a distance with a rifle, state Public Safety spokesman Sid Gaulden said; Wilson was found inside the home. Authorities would not say which one first went to the house.
Gene Land, Bixby's neighbor who lives about a half-mile away, said Steven Bixby was angry because the state planned to take some of his land to widen the highway. The Bixbys had lived in the house for more than 10 years, Land said.
A dispute Thursday between state transportation workers and someone from the home on Highway 72 precipitated the incident, DOT spokesman Pete Poore said.
As if cold-blooded murderous kooks are pro-Constitution.
Well, he!!, I've got some of those!
... ducking ...
IOW the Government is America.

Those statist curs! Don't they know that the Constimatushion clearly protects the right to commit cold-blooded murder?! Free Mumia Abu-Bixby now!
You're an idiot.
It probably won't ever "ring true". It's very hard to get to the truth with incidents like this because everyone has a conflicting story to tell or an axe to grind.
There are no Grand Juries impaneled in South Carolina? What exactly doesn't ring true, that a family of kooks went over the deep end and committed murder over the widening of a road?
From the pictures it looks like that highway project was going to within five foot of their front door. As also can be seen there was no reason to build a highway five feet from their front door when the photo's clearly show the opposite side of the highway has no homes for, what? A quarter mile? Looks like they had pleanty of room to build their highway without ruining the property on the only inhabited side of the street. I'd sure like to know what their anti-American literature was.
One of the photos shows what looks like a significant amount of land alteration on the opposite side of the highway.
We do not have the full story here.
Perhaps Mao and some fringed nutcases like to preach that political power comes from the barrel of a gun, but self-governable Americans do not.
There is an awful lot of Gubbermint abuse of private property rights occurring right now in our country - if you care to look. Try fighting and winning a eminent domain case, just try.
And this somehow justifies cold-blooded murder?
Nobody on this thread said it did.
Which was there first, his house or the highway expansion?
It began Monday morning when a magistrate's officer went to the house in a rural part of the state to follow up on an incident from the previous week involving a dispute between Department of Transportation workers and someone from the house, officials said.
and A dispute Thursday between state transportation workers and someone from the home on Highway 72 precipitated the incident, DOT spokesman Pete Poore said.
They couldn't have been in the process of widening the road on Thursday, they don't have the land yet, right? If we ever get to hear more about the nature of this dispute, it might shed some light on what happened later. Or maybe not.
But I have to say it's looking to me like they were laying in wait for somebody with a badge to show up, ever since the incident (whatever it was) on Thursday. They took the deputy hostage when he showed up.
And, and, and rub out the little flower garden! Oh, the botany!
Nevertheless, we have to recognize that it is impossible for societies to exist without public utilities such as roads, fire departments, telephone lines, etc. The U.S. Constitution permits Federal government "takings" of private property provided due process is followed and just compensation is offered. State constitutions generally have parallel provisions. Provided the South Carolina authorities followed the constitutional guidelines, they were justified in requiring that the family leave the premises.

Not heavy duty

SUBMITTED: Monday, September 09, 2013POSTED: Monday, September 09, 2013
They are certainly not heavy duty, that's for sure.
We have one we use just on our patio to refill our hot tub and water our tomatos and it seems OK for that. I would not try to use it for much else though.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I got a DUI in OC four 6 years ago. I did not fight it and plead guilty. I paid the fins and finished the DUI course. If it matters is was at .10.
4 months ago I go another DUI in OC. Blood test showed a .15. I was appointed a public attorney to defend me. Three weeks ago I accepted a deal whereby I did 60 days electronic monitoring plus fees and lost my license for a year.
3 weeks after accepting that deal I got another DUI. Blood was .35 and I hit a parked car. nobody was in the car.
Court is Fullerton. What will happen to me? I was told Fullerton offers a DUI court. Am I eligible? If not, how long will I be in jail? I have a serious pre-existing med condition that requires daily treatment & meds. Can this keep me out of jail? Should enroll in a live-in residential program? HELP!
DUI / DWI Attorney
You should be eligible for OC DUI Court, but do not go this alone. The violation of probation the likely driving on a suspended, the high.BAC coupled with the accident are all very.aggregating circumstances. You need a good lawyer now. And yes residential rehab yesterday.
Litigation Lawyer
My colleague has provided you with valuable advice. I will simply add that you should take your rehabilitation program very seriously and really consider a lifestyle change. Consider yourself lucky that you did not injure or kill anyone. Best of luck to you.
This is NOT legal advice. No attorney-client relationship exists.
Criminal Defense Attorney
I don't mean to sound like one broken, legal record, but if ou continue to drive while drinking, you may take another's life and in so doing, face second degree murder charges. Besides the 180 days in custody that you will likely face, you might find that the court orders you to three years of probation with up to three or four meetings a month. Good luck and stop drinking and driving.
The minimum amount of jail is 120 days. BUT, in Orange County, they do not give out the minimum. You are looking at the maximum which is 1 year. However, you can get the jail-time shortened by entering rehab and/or qualifying for DUI Court.
The DMV will also revoke your license for 3 years, but you can get a restricted license after completing 6 months of an approved DUI school, if DUI was alcohol only.
All of the mitigating evidence (preexisting med condition) needs to be put before the judge and DA.

Shooting kills one; suspect sought
Published: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 at 10:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 at 10:31 a.m.
THIBODAUX — One person died early this morning following a shooting in west Thibodaux.
The victim was shot just before 3 a.m., said Lafourche sheriff's spokeswoman Leslie Hill. Deputies responding to a report of gunfire found the victim, a black man in his 30s, lying on the ground at 107 Drew Court, a dead-end street off Richland Drive southwest of La. 1. He was pronounced dead at Thibodaux Regional Medical Center.
Witnesses say they saw a late-model white four-door car with gold rims speed away after shots were fired, Hill said. The car may have been a Dodge or Chrysler with a sunroof.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-743-7433.

In feb 2004 I had a drill week end come up that I had to attend as well as 2 days of physical therapy and taking heavy meds which prohbited me from being able to work I notified my shift supervisor as well as the other 2 overlappig shift supervisors that I would be absent for those 4 days due to Physical therapy and military duties. They informed me that it was not a problem and to call in the day I was coming back to work to get my schedual. when I called in the Department Manager answered the phone and informed me that I was terminated for no call no show. The day of termination was the saturday I was on military duty.
Swift sent me a letter informing me that I could file for Unemployment but I took it a step further and notified the labor board through my chain of command. When Swift found out I went to the labor board they refused me Unemployment which went to court and the judge caught the On Road Department manager in several lies and found Swift Transportation in contempt for lying to the judge and I was awarded the Unemployment. Yet the case with the Labor Board never went to court because Swift Transportation refused to reture the phone calls to the labor board so the labor board dropped the case. I then went back to my chain of command and was informed that I was not the only person Swift Transportation did this to that they also did the same exact thing to another soldier in my same unit that worked for another department with Swift trasportation and he was fired for the exact same reason I was and on the exact same day and he was deployed to Irag the same time I was. So this tells me that Swift Transpotation fired us both because of our military service in Iraq and never suffered any conseguenses for thier action because they bought thier way out.

I've tried to limit the amount of nursing-school talk that appears on this blog because (1) I think it's dangerous territory, (2) I think it's probably boring to read, and (3) most of the time it would just be posts like this:
omgi'msostressed wtf i had too much coffee no sleep patients hospital patho toomuchinformation i can't do this i'm dying omg i can totally do this! i rock! crap i think i totally have that disease i am so so so so so so so stressed omg i got a B! assess auscultate palpate percuss assess heart sounds lung sounds bowel sounds sounds sounds nursing diagnosis care plan screening bed bath bed pan meds foleys orders….is itdecember2013yet?
Therefore, I pretty much try to spare you on that front. You're. Welcome.
But today was the first day I sat in my car at 9:14 p.m. crying, and I want to share it.
It wasn't a bad day. In fact, it was a great day. During clinical I got to see a patient I had seen last week, which was unique and special in itself because I had a baseline and I had already gotten to know her well. But the fact that she was still in the hospital—and thus able to have me as her little student nurse—was not a good one.
So far, in a lot of my experiences I have been so focused on feelings both new and different that I've been less able to connect emotionally with my patients. Trying not to stab someone with a lancet or hurt them during a linen change or bug them or nag them or mess up tends to be on the forefront; all while trying to stay out of the way of nurses and techs and doctors, too. It's tough to be both invisible when you need to be and yet stand up for yourself as much as possible — to see as much as possible, to assess as much as possible, and to get in there as much as possible.
But at some point during the semester — I'd say where we are now, nearly three months in — the confidence has begun to rise enough so that you can see the big picture. You know enough of the pathophysiology to understand what is going on with each patient. You have developed enough muscle memory in your hands so that you feel like less of a moron when you stick your stethoscope in your ears and listen to someone's heart. Today for the first time I felt way more like a nurse and way less like a student pretending to be a nurse.
So, after spending the morning with a really special woman, getting to know her and making her laugh, and reading her chart and piecing together the ramifications of her diagnoses, I pulled into the garage in my building and the tears just came out of nowhere. It's amazing how quickly you can develop a relationship with someone; how quickly and easily you can really care.
The way I process things is to write, so that's what this post is. I want to remind future Nurse Laura — a title that seems so, so far away — about the first patient that touched her heart enough to bring her to tears. The first patient who called her by her first name and who joked and laughed and smiled with her. Who told her with solemnity that her biggest regret in life was that she couldn't afford to go to nursing school herself. That she always wanted to be a nurse and was so jealous that I "got to be one."
I just want to remember that although this is only the first patient who will break my heart and make me cry happy or sad or angry tears, that I do "get" to be a nurse. And my life is changing in beautiful ways I never thought it could.
I chose a profession filled with heartbreaking rewards. Sometimes, that will mean that this is what I do when I get home:
But that's OK. Because this is what I'm meant to do.

VATICAN CITY _ Queen Elizabeth II and Pope Francis had an informal meeting at the Vatican on Thursday during the British monarch's one-day visit to Rome, which also included talks with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano.
The queen was accompanied by her husband, Prince Philip. In a break from Vatican protocol in which female visitors to the pope wear black dresses and veils, she wore a lilac outfit, because of the "informal nature" of her visit, a royal spokesman said.
The pontiff gave them a lapis lazuli globe with a cross as a gift for their eight-month-old great grandson. It bore the inscription: "Pope Francis, to His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge."
"He will be thrilled with that," the queen responded, adding after a pause, "when he's a little older."
She apologized for being 20 minutes late for the audience, which was scheduled at 3 p.m. and lasted about 20 minutes.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, we were having lunch with the president," she said.
Francis also gave the queen a copy of a 17th-century papal decree recognizing the sainthood of Edward the Confessor, a medieval English king.
He was presented with organic produce from royally owned farms, a bottle of whisky and a silver-framed picture of the royal couple.
The Duke of Edinburgh received a gift of his own - three papal medals in gold, silver and bronze. The 92-year-old joked: "It is the only gold medal I have ever won."
The pope - who has often dispensed with pomp and protocol - welcomed the guests in his study rather than in the grander official apartments at the Apostolic Palace.
As the head of the Church of England, which split from the Catholic Church in the 16th century, Queen Elizabeth II is also a religious leader.
The 87-year-old, who has reigned since 1952, has met four other pontiffs - starting with Pius XII a year before her accession to the throne. The last before Francis was Benedict XVI in 2010, during his state visit to Britain.
In her first foreign trip in more than two years, the queen met the Italian president at the Quirinale Palace for a private lunch.
She landed at Rome's Ciampino airport at 12:30 p.m. and took off four hours later.
The British monarch had originally planned to visit the Italian capital and the Vatican last year, but that trip was canceled after she was briefly hospitalized with a stomach bug.
The British ambassador to the Holy See, Nigel Baker, told Vatican Radio that the queen was "determined" to reschedule the trip because "she does not like leaving obligations unfulfilled."

The Champ, Zach Johnson, closed with 66, good for -15 for the tournament, after drilling a monster putt on 18.
Playing several holes behind, Spieth tied for the lead after nailing a 50-foot birdie putt on 16 but promptly gave it back with a bogie on the Road Hole (17), the toughest hole on the Old Course at the Home of Golf at St. Andrews. The 18th at St. Andrews looks easy as short as it is but it can be tricky around the green. Needing a birdie to get into playoff with Johnson and the Aussie, Marc Leishman, Jordan drove it to the far left side of the fairway, leaving him 102 yards but a pretty decent angle. His little wedge approach shot failed to get up onto the proper level and trickled down into what's called the "Valley of Sin" and his putt from their was just short, ending this year's chance for anyone to do the impossible, win the calendar year "Grand Slam" in professional golf.
Jason Day also failed to birdie the last, also missing the playoff and solidifying his hold on most talented player out there yet to win a major.
Louis Oosthuizen DID birdie 18 to get into the four hole playoff, but fell one short to Johnson.
I guess this is poetic justice for Johnson who had to deal with a noise issue at last week's John Deere Classic (won by Spieth):
This is Johnson's second major win. He previously won The Masters in 2007.
So as the final major moves to Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin (and seriously, enough already with the links-style courses for next year, USGA and PGA Tour), it will be far less dramatic than if Spieth had been able to pull off something crazy in Scotland.
Tiger Woods: Rock Bottom
For the first time in his career, Tiger missed the cut at consecutive majors, shooting a horrific 76-75, and with only seven players finishing behind him, including Tom Watson and Nick Faldo, both playing their last British Opens (and they're not regular players either - Faldo is in the booth most the year for God's sake!).
So despite his assurances to the contrary, Tiger's game has reached rock bottom. At this point, it's even impossible to tell if the obvious mental problems that have plagued him since the Fire Hydrant Incident are solely to blame or if he's really lost the physical component too. He says he's fine on the range and awful on the course, which suggests it's mostly mental but with pretty much everyone murdering the Old Course for three of the four days (and St. Andrews being Tiger's self-stated "favorite course") he had to be ready to kill himself as he returned to Florida.
I honestly cannot see any path back for him at this point. The kid, Jordan Spieth, has taken over golf (at least until Rory gets healthy and comes back - now that's a rivalry the golf world would love to see).
