text: This past year was my first year with honeybees. I live on the East Coast in CT and we had a pretty cold winter. I checked my girls about 3 weeks ago and they were alive. I had given them a fondant cake weeks before that inspection as it seemed they were low on honey. When i went to see them today they were all dead I snapped some pictures and wanted to get some advice. I think the hive got too wet. Maybe I need better ventilation. I did find some worms on the bottom board. are these wax moth worms? also, what is the stuff that looks like pollen? I think it's some insect eggs or something?

Mainfreight, the international logistics firm, is warning its operating earnings will be flat for the full financial year, with the second half weaker than the first six months.
The company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (ebitda) for the year to March 31, due for release on May 29, would be roughly the same as last year's $138 million, Mainfreight said in a trading update relating to the last three months of the current financial year, released to the NZX.
Managing director Don Braid gave a range of $137 million to $139 million, compared with a current market consensus for the full-year of $146 million.
The company's shares fell following the announcement and eventually closed down 55c, or 4.68 per cent, yesterday at $11.20.
Excluding its recently acquired European businesses, Mainfreight recorded a 15 per cent ebitda increase in the first six months of the year, but this had slowed to between 7 and 9 per cent in the second half, reflecting mixed trading conditions across its global operations.
"Revenue levels are expected to be in a range of $1.9 billion to $1.95 billion, and net profit excluding abnormals to be in a range of $65 million to $67 million," the company said in its NZX statement.
"Abnormal one-off costs are estimated to be $2.1 million after tax and consist mainly of costs associated with brand protection in Europe."
New Zealand earnings remain ahead of last year's, although "below the level of improvement" reported in the first half.
Australia was similar, with earnings running well ahead of last year's but slowing because of higher overheads and lower custom.
In the US, trading was described as variable and slower in the last three months of the year, while European trading conditions were improving as the eurozone economy started to recover, although more slowly than anticipated.
"Further improvements are expected in the 2014 financial year," the company said.
The group's outlook for 2014 was "positive".

I've ordered from them lots of time. So far I've been really happy with everything received except for 1 piece of fabric quite a while ago. Called them and they immediately offered a refund on that piece. Great customer service.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I've ordered from them lots of time. So far I've been really happy with everything received except for 1 piece of fabric quite a while ago. Called them and they immediately offered a refund on that piece. Great customer service.
I just ordered from them and was pleased with my order. Living in Canada our prices are really getting high here. Living on a budget we have to make that loonie go as far as it can!
I've only bought fabric once from them, in a kit, and the fabric seems to be a courser weave then regular LQS fabric. I haven't even made up that baby quilt yet. Haven't tried their threads yet, but would like to, since my most favorite LQS is going out of business.
I have bought from them many times and have never been disappointed. I use their thread all the time.
I buy from CT and am a satisfied customer. One of my orders was around $400.00 during a sale. I am pleased with the fabric I purchased. Will continue to CT...
I have purchased from them many times and have been happy with my experiences.
I would love to buy from CT, but they do not ship overseas
I do like to order from CT....I have never been disappointed and their customer service to me have been superior. I did receive a small item that was damaged but usable but also was for a gift, so I called them, they immediately sent another to me and told me to keep the damaged one, since it was still able to be used.
Only one piece of fabric was I a bit disappointed in but I can say the same for some I bought in LQS also.
When CT has their sale on batting.you can't beat it .... they carry the Hobb's brand and it is so very nice.
That's been my take on CT..and I will continue to shop with them. (I use their threads all the time)
I have found the fabric to be a looser weave. Someone on here said she used more starch and that has helped a lot. The customer service offer by CT has always been excellent. They recommend that you do not pre-wash, thought that was odd, but I am not really good about pre-washing my fabric anyway. So no problem
If you quilt fast enough, does it count as aerobic exercise? Bernice Manning
Yes. All the time. Never a problem


text: I am getting four 3 pound package bees on Saturday. (4-3-04) I am worried about the temperature. We have a cold front that is coming thru the Middle Tennessee area this week. The temperature for Saturday is expected to be a high close to 60 and a low in the lower 30's. Is it going to be too cold to hive the bees under these conditions? I am worried that the temperature will not even get as warm as they are predicting. My bees are coming from the Walter T Kelley Company. I am driving up to Kentucky to pick them up. I would like to hive them as soon as possibly without causing any undue stress. Please advise. Thanks, Dan W.

MB---I noticed you had this OB hive posted on your web site. Do you particularly like this one or are you saying one of your favorite things is an observation hive.
I have been shopping around and have looked at different ones. One I almost got was from dadant @ $95 but it utilized a medium frame @ which I don't use. I guess it could be retro fitted by the handy but probably not I.
I thought @ $135 the Ulster hive was right pricey. But as I said I am not handy and I guess you take what you can get---@ least most of the time

Greetings . . .
Here's a tip!
I have been using "clear Contact paper" on my sticky board. I cut-off a pc 12-1/2" long from a roll that is 18" wide, peel off the backing and lay sticky-side up on detection board.
After test period, I write the DATE along the edge and circle any item(s) of immediate interest w/ using a fine-point permanent marker on sticky side.
When finished, I fold in half (sticky sides together) and KEEP. Now I have a "record" that I can go back to and re-examine as many times and as often as I like.
Useless? Maybe.

Flocks of Fancy in the New Jersey Countryside
Chimney Hill Estate and Ol Barn Inn • Lambertville, NJ
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two, Mondays through Thursdays, in a Barn Suite ($369)
- Or, A Two-Night Stay for Two, Fridays and Saturdays, in Rooms 3, 4, 5, or 6 ($369)
- A Bottle of Wine and a Tour for Two of Unionville Vineyards
- $50 Dining Credit at Stockton Inn (Mondays) or Anton's at the Swan (Tuesdays through Sundays)
- Two Bags of Alpaca Feed
Alpacas may be native to the Andes, but you won't have to travel to South America to have a dyed-in-the-wool experience with this week's Escape to Chimney Hill Estate and Ol' Barn Inn, a charming B&B on a scenic alpaca farm in Lambertville, New Jersey.
Come for a two-night stay for two, Mondays through Thursdays, in the Barn Suites ($369) or weave together a two-night weekend stay for two, Fridays and Saturdays, in Rooms 3, 4, 5, or 6. Enjoy a bottle of wine upon arrival and then flock to a tour for two of Unionville Vineyards—hailed by The New York Times as best winery in the state.
This beautiful 1820 fieldstone home, restored in 1920 by Margaret Spencer, America's first female architect, has plenty to bray about—think soft bathrobes and beds fitted with plush linens. Some of the inn's comfortable guest rooms feature crackling fireplaces, and the Barn Suites offer Jacuzzi tubs.
Eight acres of fields and gardens offer plenty of space to meet and greet the property's alpacas—whom you'll win over with two complimentary bags of feed. Once they've had their fill, head out to pasture and visit the Alpaca Gift Store, where you can browse hats, sweaters, and gloves knitted from the high-quality wool.
Explore the charms of the Delaware River region: There are art and antique shops, kayaking, rafting and river tubing, horseback riding, hiking and biking, and historical riches galore. Sit back after a long day of fun in the fields with a fresh-baked cookie and a glass of lemonade in the farmhouse.
When it's time for you to graze, a $50 credit at at Anton's at the Swan on Tuesdays through Sundays or Stockton Inn on Mondays more than hits the spot. From pan-roasted duck breast with orange-ginger sauce at Anton's to sea scallops with nest of pappardelle pasta, wilted spinach, and mango-cream drizzle at Stockton Inn, these innovative American cookeries are in tune with nature's bounty and society's tastes—they've earned accolades from The Star Ledger, New Jersey Monthly, and CBS Philadelphia.
Enjoy this Escape to New Jersey with every fiber of your being—we think it's a shear delight.
"A grand display of stonework, designed with both Federal and Greek Revival-style architecture. The Ol' Barn has four suites with fireplaces, Jacuzzis, steam rooms, guest pantries, spiral staircases, and loft bedrooms."-- iLoveInns

The NSVRC's Mission is to provide leadership in preventing and responding to sexual violence through collaboration, sharing and creating resources, and promoting research.
We envision a world where diversity is celebrated and all people are treated with dignity and respect and have full autonomy over their own bodies and sexual expression.
NSVRC believes that through collaboration, prevention, and research-based resources, we are making the world safer and healthier.
NSVRC understands sexual violence to be an overarching term that includes an array of behaviors, both physical and non-physical, that constitute unwanted or age-inappropriate sexual activity that can impact people of any age or gender. We believe that sexual violence is rooted in power inequities and is connected to other forms of oppression [7] including ableism, adultism, ageism, classism, heterosexism, racism, religism, sexism and other constructs that value certain people or groups over others. NSVRC uses its national leadership position to promote dialogue and understanding of sexual violence and its prevention.
NSVRC believes that sexual violence is preventable. We understand sexual violence to be a social justice, public health, criminal justice, and human rights issue and we bring the tools, research, and resources of each of those areas of expertise to promote a coordinated movement. We believe that open and factual conversations, education about healthy relationships, engaging and informing bystanders, and similar strategies contribute to positive and sustainable societal changes. We believe that efforts should simultaneously address the needs of those who have been victimized; treat, manage and successfully reintegrate individuals who sexually offend; and build the capacity of individuals, groups and families, organizations, and communities to prevent sexual violence before any harm occurs.
NSVRC believes that it is imperative to improve responses to those who have been victimized by sexual violence in order to ensure that they are believed, helped, and supported throughout their recovery process. We recognize that survivors are resilient and often find strength at individual, relationship, community, and societal levels following sexual violence. We understand that survivors are unique in how they experience sexual violence and what outcomes they desire in terms of justice, services, and support. We promote responses that are informed by the strengths and needs of survivors and that honor their voices, cultures, choices, and priorities. The quality of response to survivors by loved ones, professionals, social systems, the media, and organizations impacts their healing and also signals other survivors and potential offenders about our societal values and commitment to safety and respect.
NSVRC believes that communication among advocates, researchers, funders, public health professionals, policymakers, culturally specific community-based programs, sex offender treatment and management professionals, national partners, and other key players is critical in creating opportunities for positive changes. NSVRC works with media to better inform the public of their role and responsibility in preventing child sexual abuse and all other forms of sexual violence; and coordinates national Sexual Assault Awareness Month each April and other prevention campaigns.
NSVRC believes that everyone should have access to information that will allow them to build programs and policies to end sexual violence and serve those who have been impacted. NSVRC acts as a communication hub connecting people with the information, resources, tools, and expertise needed to effectively address and prevent sexual violence in all communities. We are committed to ensuring access to quality resources for all children, teens, young adults, and people in later life. NSVRC uses traditional and emerging forms of communication to create communities of support for preventing sexual violence.
NSVRC believes that all efforts to respond to and prevent sexual violence must be supported by research. NSVRC maintains an extensive library and virtual information bank of current statistics, research, information, speakers and tools on a wide variety of topics pertaining to sexual violence. We assist programs in accessing and contributing to a body of evidence that strengthens our collective efforts.

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) opened in July 2000 as a national information and resource hub relating to all aspects of sexual violence. Founded by the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape [9], the oldest and one of the largest state sexual assault coalitions, the NSVRC is funded through a cooperative agreement from the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Violence Prevention [10].
The NSVRC staff collects and disseminates a wide range of resources on sexual violence including statistics, research, position statements, statutes, training curricula, prevention initiatives and program information. With these resources, the NSVRC assists coalitions, advocates and others interested in understanding and eliminating sexual violence. The NSVRC has an active and diverse Advisory Council [3]that assists and advises staff and ensures a broad national perspective. The NSVRC also enjoys a strong partnership with state, territory and tribal anti-sexual assault coalitions [11] and allied organizations.
In addition to tracking resources developed throughout the country, the NSVRC publishes a newsletter, The Resource [12], issues press releases [13]and talking points on current events and coordinates an annual national sexual assault awareness month (SAAM [14]) campaign in April. Additionally, the NSVRC develops original resources [15] to help bridge information gaps, such as conducting research and analysis of underserved populations.
The NSVRC does not provide direct services to sexual assault victims but rather supports those who do, such as coalitions, rape crisis centers, national, state and local agencies and allied programs. The NSVRC refers requests for direct victim's services to the appropriate state coalition and/or to a local program conveniently located to the caller. A caller looking for services may also access and search the location and phone numbers of state and territory coalitions [16] on this website.

Sexual violence is any type of unwanted sexual contact, ranging from sexist attitudes and actions to rape and murder. Sexual violence can include words and actions of a sexual nature against a person's will.
A person may use
There is a social context that surrounds sexual violence. Social norms that
Oppression in all of its forms is among the root causes of sexual violence. Sexual violence is preventable through collaborations of community members at multiple levels of society—in our homes, neighborhoods, schools, faith settings, workplaces, and other settings. We all play a role in preventing sexual violence and establishing norms of respect, safety, equality, and helping others.

Join our team! Interns [18] and volunteers [19] are an essential part of the NSVRC's work. They perform a wide variety of responsibilities, including research, writing, and outreach. Positions are available for Spring, Summer, and Fall.

The NSVRC supports two award programs.
Read about the Visionary Voice Awards [20] given each April.
Read about the Gail Burns Smith Award [21] which recognizes people who have made significant contributions to preventing sexual violence through their work to facilitate effective partnerships between advocates working on behalf of victims and survivors and those working in the area of sex offender management and treatment.

Without knowing the details, I'm gonna assume that whatever your father invested was subject to the same risk that all investments are subjected to.
Unless you suspect that your father's partners intentionally ****ed your dad over, or that his request for the tax advance was not justifiable under the agreed-upon terms, then I think the bottom line is that your father got a raw deal.
Yeah, no idea man.
Going to do insanity in a bit to get my mind off ****
The problem is when the business isn't doing well. Then you get hit with a triple-whammy: no percentage to claim, no funds to draw wages from, and the reality of a return-less investment.
This situation is normally when the major shareholders buys out, or screws the minor shareholder. If it's legal screwing, though, then it's a really raw deal.
It was a raw deal pretty much, so my dad is an idiot for going through with whatever he thought he was going to do.

Food is a very important part of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien, especially to hobbits, who like to eat and eat often. So it's not surprising to see a special menu from Denny's inspired the upcoming movie, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Denny's is one of the regular places my family goes to when we go out to eat. All of us like breakfast food and we usually go on a day when they offer their kid's eat free special. As a big Tolkien fan, I was pretty excited to see that there will be a special menu for The Hobbit.
From what has been released of the new menu, it seems several Denny's classics have been retooled just a little bit to fit the Middle Earth theme. Some of the items will be Bilbo's Berry Smoothie, Gandalf's Gobble Melt, Hobbit Hole Breakfast, and more. The entire menu has not been released yet.
While there will be no lembas on the menu, I'm looking forward to trying some hobbit treats at Denny's. The new menu will debut on November 6th and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will be released on December 14th. You can read more about this story at boingboing.net.

Lake Shore may offer controlled deer hunt next year
The city of Lake Shore won't have a special deer hunt this year to reduce the deer population, but may offer a controlled hunt next year.
Jim Thomes, public works supervisor, told the city council Monday, Oct. 28, that he talked to someone from a northern Minnesota city that conducted such an intensive deer harvest. That city worked with the DNR to set up the hunt. Those who wanted to participate first had to take a class.
An intensive deer hunt permits a hunter to take up to five deer, including one buck.
Thomes said he would continue to get information about a controlled hunt.
The city has talked about this issue since last spring as it seeks ways to combat nuisance deer.
In other business Monday, the council will schedule a public hearing with Loon Lake Township for proposed improvements to 72nd Street to the east of Jacobs Road.
The council approved a feasibility study by Widseth, Smith, Nolting engineering firm.
Improvements include upgrading the existing roadway to city specifications, including bituminous surfacing.
Assessments for Lake Shore parcels are estimated at $1,900 per parcel.
Estimated cost of the total project is $100,580, which will be split with Loon Lake Township.
Public safety
Police reported 137 incidents from Sept. 23 to Oct. 27, including 78 traffic-related incidents and 59 miscellaneous calls.
Traffic incidents included 45 traffic warnings, 21 traffic citations, one DWI arrest and one property damage crash.
Miscellaneous calls included 17 public assists, 10 alarms, four disturbance/disorderly, three theft complaints, one attempted burglary, and one suspicious activity.
Lake Shore police assisted Cass County five times and Nisswa police three times.
The city issued four building permits in September for a total valuation of $92,000. That compares to eight permits issued in September 2012 for a total valuation of $1,224,720.
Permits last month included one residential addition, two accessory structures, one deck/porch/patio and one septic system.
So far this year, the city has issued 30 permits for a total valuation of $2,572,710. That compares to 32 permits issued by this time last year for a total valuation of $2,404,670.
In other business, the council:
• Agreed to donate $30 to Cass County 4-H.
• Approved a rezoning request from Lee Wangstad involving four vacant lots of Marsh Vista of approximately nine acres, adjacent to County State Aid Highway 77 and across from Birchwood Road and Fernmont Road, to build a welding shop. The property was rezoned from low density residential to neighborhood commercial.
• Approved a road approach policy pertaining to requests to install an approach off of a Lake Shore city street.
• Appointed Todd Peterson to the Park and Recreation Committee.
• Learned the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) will install a groundwater monitoring well on city property. The MPCA is doing this across the state to monitor groundwater quality.

Supercomputing in Plain English Workshop Series
From our friends at the University of Oklahoma, a free HPC workshop series:
This semester, we're again going to run our *FREE* "Supercomputing in Plain English" (SiPE) workshop series:
When: Tuesdays 2:00-3:00pm Central starting Tue Jan 25, *FREE* (4:00pm Atlantic, 3:00pm Eastern, 1:00pm Mountain, 12:00noon Pacific)
Available live in person, live via videoconferencing worldwide, and via streaming recorded video (details coming shortly).
For those who aren't familiar, SiPE is a *FREE* workshop series on High Performance Computing.
We'll be providing the workshops not only live in person at OU (in SRTC), but also live via videoconferencing (see below), and we'll also record the sessions and make the recordings available as streaming video.
We'll also provide exercises after most of the presentations, which you can run on OSCER's big cluster supercomputer.
Check out the website for details on the schedule of topics, recommended prerequisites and registration procedure. It's free, BTW.
New aprun '-B' Flag Available on chugach.arsc.edu[By Oralee Nudson]
There is a new aprun ' -B ' flag which eliminates the need to include the -n , -d , -N , and -m aprun flags for arranging and distributing tasks among multiple nodes for parallel jobs submitted to the PBS batch scheduler on chugach.arsc.edu. Instead, inclusion of this single flag in the aprun statement instructs ALPS (the application launcher for the Cray XE6) to follow your job submission script #PBS directives for task and thread placement.
The following chugach.arsc.edu job submission script demonstrates the use of this new ' -B ' flag. In this example, 32 MPI tasks will be launched. Instead of reserving all 16 cores on two nodes, the ' #PBS -l mppnppn=4 ' directive assigns 4 MPI tasks to each of 8 nodes. The ' #PBS -l depth=2 ' directive allows each individual MPI task to spawn up to two threads on neighboring cores. This example demonstrates an effective approach for running programs requiring large memory resources per task.
#!/bin/bash #PBS -q standard #PBS -l mppwidth=32 #PBS -l mppnppn=4 #PBS -l depth=2 #PBS -l walltime=8:00:00 #PBS -j oe cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR aprun -B ./helloParallelWorld
For more #PBS directives, browse the PBSPro User Guide available from www.pbsworks.com . More information about the aprun flags is available in the aprun man page on chugach.arsc.edu.

ARSC's trusty Sun cluster, Midnight, is still going strong after being transferred from DoD service to an academic-only resource in the middle of last year. Recently, ARSC Research Professor Don Morton had the honor of running Midnight's 1,000,000th job. The job was a weather forecast for the Fairbanks region using the WRF weather model. No word on whether the forecast was correct, but Don wins a one-year extension to his HPC Newsletter subscription anyway.
Congratulations, Don! Ditto to the ARSC staff who have kept Midnight a productive resource over its lifetime. Midnight arrived in Fairbanks on November 3, 2006 and went into production on March 6, 2007.

Web Sausage
We thought we would take the opportunity of saying goodbye to ARSC Publications Specialist Mary Haley, who is taking a new position with UAF's Intellectual Property and Commercialization, to reveal some of the inner workings of the mighty ARSC web presence.
Apparently Mary thought that Webmeister Tom Baring's new and improved "404 page", the page displayed when a web server is unable to access a requested page, lacked, shall we say, sparkle .

Quick-Tip Q & A
A.[[ Building Makefiles always seems like a work of art. Half the time I [[ see a Makefile define everything inside of it for the various includes [[ and libraries that an application needs. [[ [[ For example: [[ [[ INCLUDE = -I. -I/usr/include/ -I/usr/include/X11/ -I/usr/local/include/GL [[ INCH5 = -I/import/home/u1/uaf/webb/hdf5/include [[ INCOSG = -I/usr/local/pkg/osg/osg-2.8.0/include [[ [[ LDFLAGS = -L. -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -L/usr/local/lib64 [[ LDH5 = -L/import/home/u1/uaf/webb/hdf5/lib [[ LDOSG = -L/usr/local/pkg/osg/osg-2.8.0/lib64 -losg -losgViewer -losgSim [[ [[ Other times, a Makefile will rely on outside environment variables [[ to provide paths to these resources. When building your Makefiles, [[ which style do you use and when? Is there a powerful compelling reason [[ to use one over the other? [[
We received some solid advice from readers Scott Kajihara and Jed Brown and editor Kate Hedstrom.
# # From Kate Hedstrom #
I would say "it depends". If it's a little project that only I will use, then I'll put all that stuff in the makefile. If it's a bigger project, I'd consider finding a better way. I still haven't found a perfect way. The autotools are the default way to go for C projects on Unix, but I think they fall short for my needs with Fortran. For our ocean model with hundreds of users, NetCDF continues to be a source of adventure for the build process. Here's why:
1. We now use the Fortran 90 "use netcdf". This means when compiling my code, it needs to query a file called "netcdf.mod" for insight into the netcdf function calls and constants. The NetCDF install puts this into the directory with include files. It must be consistent with the compiler being used, even down to version number for some. Compilers are not consistent on the option to use to point to module directories so we have decided to simply copy the netcdf.mod file to the compile directory.
2. NetCDF has more than one version. Some of the changes between version 3 and version 4 are the requirement to now link to the HDF5 libraries as well as the NetCDF library. Another change is that it can now build both a netcdf and a netcdff library, depending. A configure script would need to know to look for that second library if it doesn't find the Fortran functions in the first.
So what are we doing? We need pointers to both the NetCDF include directory and the library directory. Gnu make allows you to set variables conditionally:
NETCDF_INCDIR ?= /some/long/path/include NETCDF_LIBDIR ?=/some/long/path/lib
This goes into the system-dependent part of the makefile, but it allows you to set them from an environment variable or from a build script that invokes make for you. If the environment variable is set, then it will be used, otherwise the value in the makefile will be used. We have other symbols such as "USE_NETCDF4" which brings in the HDF5 libraries, "USE_MPI" which invokes the MPI version of the compiler, etc. These need to be set by the user at compile time somehow.
# # From Scott Kajihara #
So, to state a not-necessarily obvious point, make(1) defines a programming language with variables and conditional execution. Note: although GNU Make (which is the _make_ on Linux) introduces additional conditional constructs, I would opt for GNU AutoTools (autoconf, automake, libtool) over the rather error-prone GNU Make constructs.
A combination of both environment variables/command-line arguments and Makefile macros is probably the best compromise. For the rules, use only the Makefile macros to make them as generic as possible. For the Makefile macros used within rules, define them as generically as possible with Makefile macros and common options or filenames.
The remaining macros (directories and options) should have some reasonable defaults that can be overridden by the environment variables or command-line options.
== Makefile ============================================================ X11_DEFINES = -DX11_ENABLED X11_INCLUDES = -I/usr/X11R6/include X11_LIBDIRS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib X11_LIBS = -lX11
DEFINES = $(X11_DEFINES) INCLUDES = $(X11_INCLUDES) LIBDIRS = $(X11_LIBDIRS) LIBS = $(X11_LIBS) -lm
OBJS = foobar.o EXE = snafu
.c.o: <TAB>$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $*.c
$(EXE): $(OBJS) <TAB>$(CC) -o $@ $(OBJS) $(LDFLAGS) ========================================================================
The example may be more complicated than the questioner expected. The advantage is that although defaults are defined within the description file (Makefile), the macros X11_DEFINES, X11_INCLUDES, X11_LIBDIRS, X11_LIBS can be defined by environment variables or command-line options without editing the description file. As these are the parts that will most likely vary, this method (with proper maintenance) balances between hardcoding all definable objects and increased complexity of the description file. Although another level of complexity, for managing description files on multiple architectures, I would use AutoTools which have a number of built-in queries to generate the _configure_ scripts which the end-users run without knowing the specifics for the system.
# # And Jed Brown agrees pretty strongly with Scott's last point: #
Relying on environment variables is horrible since it's almost impossible to reproduce, especially if you use that abomination called "module" and tend to forget what you have loaded. Having your users put magic stuff into makefiles is the road to madness, it doesn't scale well as complexity (number/size of dependencies) increases. In my opinion, you are spitting in your users' faces if you have a nontrivial size project and don't provide a decent configuration system.
Q: After I added an "echo" statement to the .bashrc of a certain machine, I was no longer able to scp to it. When I tried to scp to that machine, I would see the echo and nothing else, and the prompt returned without any indication of failure. Why did an echo statement in my .bashrc prevent scp from working?

Complaint alleges conflict of interest
The city of Nisswa has received a complaint alleging conflict of interest on the part of Mayor Brian Lehman and council member Tina Foster relating to the proposed pubic restroom/chamber building.
The complaint cites the relationships each has with the chamber, noting Lehman is a dues-paying member and Foster is on the chamber board of directors, city attorney Clyde Ahlquist said.
Ahlquist told the council Wednesday, April 17, that he is taking the complaint under advisement and will issue an advisory opinion to the council. Tom Groen filed the complaint.
The council is considering building a public restroom/chamber building downtown, where the current facility is located, as part of an abatement bond the city plans to obtain to also fund improvements to the city park and community center.

Should I worry or just try to get them back together next week. Here is the video http://youtu.be/r6AHc256bkQ

Opinie o innych obiektach tego gospodarza
The appartment is located in a great area of beautiful Sevilla, you can walk easily to nearby Pubs, Restaurants, Shopping places!
The appartment has got evrything u need, a huge comfy bed with room for 3persons!! the room is small,but nice!
Great terace upstairs!
We enjoyed our stay really much, thanks a lot, we will come back for sure!!
Very nice appartment, very functional and furnished with everything one might need. Moreover it's perfectly located Close to Train Station and City Center. For a longer stay it might be a bit dark, as it has only Windows to a courtyard,
The apartment was just great. Clean and easily walkable to all interesting areas of Seville. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was that the noise from the street filters into the apartment, the windows could do with thicker glass. Carmen was always ready to answer any questions we had, and everything worked out just fine. I would recommend.
Luxurious and spacious appartment at a great location in Sevilla! We stayed with 8 persons one week, and it proved to be enough room for all of us. When on vacation location is important, and with the Parque Marie Louisa just across the street, location was well cared for. And it took only 10 to 15 minutes to walk through the park to the city center.
We were also very happy with the service, both in renting the appartment and in service on the spot. It was easy to arrange for us to be picked up from the airport (and brought back) for a very reasonable fee.
Advise: make a plan on who will shower when, because the warm water capacity per run was limited.
All in all we can recommend both this appartment and our host Carmen!
Nice and cosy apartment with a marvellous roof terrace. Positive: everything is available to make a decent meal, the apartment is clean, it has a "double bed" (not a twin bed) and a nice view from the terrace. Only point that could be improved: the amount of hot water due to the capacity of the boiler.
This is a really new apartment. Although it's not in the down town but very near to the metro station. With the taxi from down town to the apartment you just need to pay about 10 Euro.
What not good we feel is: there is NO WIFI or INTERNET! It's really extremely inconvenient! Especially for the tourists, who want search for the route or sth. else.
Perfect located. It´s a small studio but the large terrace makes all the difference. Very well equipped kitchen, and nice large bathroom.
This was a really fantastic apartement with a nice kitchen and modern bathroom. Special was the roof-garden with a great view on the city. We would book this place anytime again. We have there a pleasant stay.
We had a great stay in Sevilla at Carmen's appartment!
everything was clean and nice! The owner was very helpful and recommended the best Tapas bars in the City... we Location was perfect, we had a few minutes walk to plaza de Hercules and about 10 Minutes walk to all sight seeing buildings.
This really is a great apartment. We stayed 4 nights there and loved it. The representative was there to meet us and show us the apartment and gave good advice about the area. It is a very spacious, comfortable apartment, true to the photos in the advertisement. The location is excellent. It is 3 minutes walk to the Cathedral plaza and about 2 minutes the other way to the riverside. We had no trouble finding our way around.
Thoroughly recommended.

Bolts at Kleinmond to be treated as suspect

Climb ZA - Administrator
Everyone has forgoten, the first bolt that failed was in Montagu. It was an anchor bolt at the Alley, then Silvermine and now Kleinmond. Where too from here???? ARF is going to have to get some very big sponsors if it wants to have a real impact and make everyone feel all bolts are safe, which is the wrong mind set anyway. So, I'm promoting a change in mind set, don't just jump onto a bolt at the first onset of a pump, treat them like trad gear and the good old saying \"you don't fall\" should be revived. We are rock climbing not playing chess, it is a high risk sport, and I do not believe we know which bolt will fail next or under what circumstances. So lets change dodgy bolts, but never take their safty for granted.
Kleinmond on Dec 3
Will climbing be possible during the bolt replacement on dec 3 at Klienmond? I had a camping trip planned and everything. I'll be there and am keen to help but I also want to do some climbing.

Fun while ARFing
Hey Simon - we intend getting as much done as possible so when we are occupied on routes you may need to wait a couple of minutes. However the old bolts will remain unless some motivated people will be psyched to pull them at the end of the day. So come along for a fun day. Please drop me an email for the attendance list.

i personally liked uc2 leveling system that made it harder to level up after you reach level 50 and the negative boosters were worth the wait because it stacked up medals and cash, and i see on uc3 that its not doing so. though i do agree, im not a COD fan but i have plenty of friends who love it and they always tell me about the prestige leveling and the new things they get for working to those levels. so i do agree that naughtydog should make it worth the time and frustration by adding things onto it that you can only get from those levels, and hopefully change the way they work. so when the time comes if i do make it, im staying at 75 (which i think should be raised as well because the last one was 80 but thats naughtydogs choice) until i see something better

I'll most likely legacy just so I can have some form of progression. And if I didn't, it'd feel like I'm wasting exp. I don't care for boosters as they'll level up again eventually, and the limitations in guns will encourage me to try new tactics.
I think when I legacy I'll try using the Sniper some more.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Slippy, Nov 7, 2006.
At least you've only got one achilles heel- my team is an achilles heel itself.
ChipsOnPistons...the barometer of this team. lol. That win streak catapulted him to the top of novice league and that slump may just knock him back down. we need a chart of Chips progress. lol.
All hail Ralphi, Hero of Fantasy Basketball, Father of weekly statistics and Benevolent ruler of the fabolous Ralphiboys.
week 6 compiled stats are up. Looking for a volunteer for wk 7.
Wow, this is what I call efficient work! Interesting stats this week, I simply don't get these ups and downs- one week, my team sucks in blocks, the other it tops the league by far. And Slippy is having landslide victories in "his" categories each week. Who are you having on your roster? Have you cloned Dwight Howard 12 times (that would explain why you suck that badly in TO's)?
I just get really lucky. I need charlie bell to heat back up...and dump marbury. :(
You just go right ahead and dump him. I'm loving your trash (See Eddy Curry).
Yeah, I love it when the upper-class guys like warthog or slippy dump players while calling it "throwing a bone to someone".
Apparently something is working out if you are dumping guys that good
haha :D looking at the weekly stats it's a wonder i'm in 1st, i never lead in anything. of course i have the top overall FG% but i'm only 4-2 in that category, 2-2-2 in blocks despite leading the league, and 5-0-1 in steals even though i'm middle of the pack. weird how matchups work (and how different this is from rotisserie)
yeah wart, I find it strange that every team you face somehow forgets to set its lineup.
No volunterrs. I guess its on me again. looking for a volunteer for next week.
week 7 compiled is up.
wow, Slippy- when I look at the stats, I guess our matchup surely was the match of the week. And you only won by 0.7%, that still sucks to me.
Ralphi, I gotta tip my hat off to your and your team. Wade out, some other significant injuries...and you still dominated the 3ptm and STL cats. I had to sit Antwan at the last minute cuz I didn't want to lose FG%. That was a battle.
A finesse move- I wonder why you played Alston, who is a below .400 shooter. I wanted to do the same (bench Dunleavy and Tinsley) but when I came home, the Pacers and the Warriors were already playing. Destiny that the games started that early. Now I have to hope that West, Wally and JR Smith will be back soon- still awaiting how many games JR will have to sit out. Luckily, I ain't no Carmelo- owner. Damn, that was rough punch against Mardy Collins.
It was sheer ocular savvy. I knew that Rafer always shoots better in the afternoon and not so well at night. That coupled with the...ok, thats bs...actually, I was playing games and when I checked it, all those guys had played andwe were up a tick on some % and I wanted to sit both wilcox and jamison but was too late for wilcox.

Christmas has come and gone, Ryan Nelsen has retired and the Black Caps have been bowled out for 45 runs. It can't get much worse. So what have we got to look forward to? Let's delve a little deeper and see what light lies at the end of the tunnel.
So one of New Zealand's greatest footballing sons has retired from the All Whites. He's moving on to management - bigger and better things. Well, I say, good luck to him. He's been a great servant to the national squad and has brought an increased level of professionalism and a can-do attitude to the team. And with Winston Reid, his fellow international team-mate, captaining West Ham in a recent EPL game, we already have a groomed star to slip into his boots (pardon the pun).
Then we had the nightmare performance from the Black Caps versus South Africa.
All out for 45.
But think back to a recent test across the ditch against the Aussies, a memorable win by any international standard. And even more recently, an ODI series win in South Africa, the first win there since 1953, I believe.
Where am I going with this, you might ask - and right you are to ask. Well, what I see from these recent sporting stories is the wonderful "bigger picture outlook". Sometimes we only see what's right in front of us and base everything we aspire to or hope for on this.
But in reality, when we take a step back and look at the bigger picture, we can see things a little clearer. There might be people moving on at work, getting new jobs elsewhere or getting promoted, and sometimes our immediate reaction is, "Why haven't I got the promotion?" or "Why haven't I got the finger out and sought out a new role?"
Don't worry. As one door closes, another one opens. Imagine how Kim Dotcom felt not so long ago. House raided, assets frozen, locked up. And only last week he had a re-brand and re-launch of his Mega website that would make New Year's Eve on the Sydney Harbour Bridge look like a toddler's birthday party. What's past is past. The future is always bright and you can make of it what you want. So go get it.

Samaritan's Purse responding to Oklahoma tornado
BOONE, NC - Boone, North Carolina-based Samaritan's Purse deployed a team Tuesday morning to help devastated communities in Oklahoma.
Those teams will be providing emergency assistance as well as cleaning and repairing damaged homes. They're also taking a tractor-trailer stocked with supplies, tools and equipment. That unit will also be the command center for the team.
It's not the first trip for Samaritan's Purse. The charity also provided relief in Moore, Oklahoma after a tornado destroyed more than 1,000 homes there in 1999.
Samaritan's Purse staff and volunteers are also in Hood County, Texas helping tornado victims. That tornado struck on May 15th.

While the Institution's involvement in an individual's personal behavior begins only when such actions result in unsatisfactory job or academic performance, the Institution will not tolerate the use of an illegal controlled substance in the workplace. (See Drug-Free Workplace, for policy statement.)
D. The decision to seek diagnosis and to accept treatment for any suspected abuse or illness rests with the individual employee or student. However, refusal to seek treatment when such avoidance contributes to impaired job performance will not be tolerated by the Institution. Performance problems resulting from substance abuse will be dealt with as any other performance problem (i.e. progressive discipline up to and including discharge, see Involuntary Termination, and Progressive Disciplinary Action for details.)
Employee and Student Assistance Program (ESAP). An employee, student or family member may contact the ESAP staff and be assured of confidentiality. (See ESAP, for program details.)
III. The Institution's medical plans cover many of the costs associated with substance abuse treatment. Sick leave or accrued vacation may be used for time spent in treatment. As with any other illness, in the absence of any accrued time, leave without pay may be requested.
IV. Supervisors and managers are not qualified to diagnose substance abuses and illnesses or their causes. Diagnosis and treatment are the responsibility of the medical professional. However, in the event an employee's work performance is being adversely affected by a particular behavior, the supervisor has the right to intervene and to recommend that the employee seek professional help. In such cases, the supervisor may refer the employee to the EAP provider or to the Institution's EAP Coordinator. An employee's failure to follow appropriate remedial action to improve his/her performance may result in termination from the Institution.

How's the view up there?
The guy who was killed had just as much a part in losing his life than the guy who was driving. It could of been either of them driving and the outcome could have been the same. He must of been a real idiot to get in a car with a guy he knew was drunk, but since he died, his life was "taken" and he is innocent according to you. I feel bad the guy lost his life, but he is in the same boat the other guy is, it's just that he paid the ultimate price and Brent has to live with this for the rest of his life.
I'm glad you have never made a mistake in your life and that if your Mother ever called you crying hysterically in jail in the same situation you would simply reply, "Sucks to be you, Ma!"

|Bad Pimpin'
Mike about to kill the pimp
|GTA Advance
|Asuka Kasen
|Bedford Point, Staunton Island, Liberty City
|Mystery Killer
Bad Pimpin' is a mission in Grand Theft Auto Advance, given to protagonist Mike by Yakuza co-leader Asuka Kasen from a building in Bedford Point on Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Asuka has discovered the identity of the explosive expert involved in the death of Mike's old partner Vinnie. However, before she will tell Mike she wants him to take care of a pimp who has been stalking some of her prostitutes. Mike drives to the pimps location in Newport and kills the pimp and his associate. After killing the pimp and his associates Mike returns to Asuka's home and enters her bedchamber. He leaves later on, not able to feel his legs, and decides to follow-up on Asuka's lead into Vinnie's killer. He drives to a building in Torrington and the explosives expert dead on the floor. He finds a message, which tells him to go to the Wichita Gardens area of Shoreside Vale. With no other information, Mike decides to go to Shoreside Vale. However, as he begins to drive away he is attacked by the Mafia, unhappy at their men being kidnapped and shipped to Asia. The Liberty City Police Department also begin to chase Mike, who uses the Pay 'n' Spray to lose them. He then drives over the Shoreside Lift Bridge to Shoreside Vale.
Asuka Kasen: Mike-san, I have the information you've been waiting for. It's about the bomber who had his dealings with your partner Vinnie. There is, however, one thing you must do before I give you this information. There's a pimp in town who's been stalking my working girls and causing havoc to my hostess business. Take him out and then report back here for the information I promised.
Mike: All this trouble over one pimp? Why don't you send one of your regular goons? And what the hell is a snack bar?
Asuka Kasen: This guy's no pushover and my people are having to deal mostly with the gang war between the Mafia and us. In Japan, snack bars are hostess clubs where you can go to get a quick nibble and sing karaoke.
Mike: I still don't see what snacks, girls, and karaoke have to do with each other but whatever. Very well I'll do this but it's the last job I do for you, Asuka. After this, I'm going my own way.
Asuka Kasen: I don't see how you can live without me, Mike-san. We'll see what happens.
(Mike drives to the pimps location in Newport)
Mike: Time to slap that pimp around and rescue some hookers in distress. A modern day fairy tale.
(Mike begins to kill the pimps associates and/or the pimp)
Prostitute #1: I ain't gonna work for you, pimp. Get your hands off me! Help! Help!
(Mike continues to kill the pimps associates and/or the pimp)
Prostitute #2: If this were in Nevada, this crap would be legal... What the hell? Damn, pimp, leave me alone!
(Mike continues to kill the pimps associates and/or the pimp)
Misty: I came here to become a star, now look at me, Mike! We coulda been good together.
Asuka Kasen (pager): Nicely done, Mike-san. Hurry home to me, darling. Asuka.
(Mike drives back to Asuka's in Bedford Point)
Asuka Kasen: Mike-san, you've satisfied every desire I've asked of you. I have one last request before you leave me, perhaps forever.
Mike: No, Asuka! I haven't any patience for more negotiation. Tell me about the bomber and then I'm out of here!
Asuka Kasen: Mike-san, be a good boy and listen. I've lusted for you from the moment I saw you. Come to me in my bedchamber... Unless, that is, you're not attracted to the opposite sex?
Mike: No man can resist that challenge. Lead on... Leave the whips on the wall though.
(Mike enters Asuka's bedchamber and later leaves her home)
Mike: I can't feel my legs. Gotta concentrate and think mean, violent thoughts. Okay bomber, I'm coming for you now.
(Mike drives to a location in Torrington)
Mike: Damn, what a mess. Looks like somebody beat me to him. What the hell am I going to do now? Wait a second, there's a message on his pager: 'I need another job like the Callahan Point bombing. Meet me on Shoreside in the Wichita Garden District.' Callahan Point? Sounds like he's talking about the car bomb that killed Vinnie. Well, this is the only lead I have. I'd better go check it out.
(Mike begins to drive off from the building in Torrington)
Asuka Kasen (pager): Taihen, Mike-san! The Mafia knows you're behind their men being captured. Better flee to Shoreside! Suki. Asuka.
(Mike begins to escape from the pursuing Mafia members)
Asuka Kasen (pager): The police are after you for the bomber's murder! Watch out! Asuka.
Post Mission Pager Script
Unknown Person: Come to the Wichita Gardens District. We need to discuss the job I need done. Xox
Cisco: Amigo, you are headed for a trap. Come to my headquarters at the airport and I'll explain. Cisco.
The reward for completing the mission is $15,000. The mission Mystery Killer is unlocked by completing the mission.
- Mike meets Misty for the second time, the first being in the mission Ill Repute. During the mission Ill Repute she can be seen working on Portland and being somewhat acquianted with explosives expert 8-Ball, however, in this mission she works on Staunton Island for Asuka Kasen.

Manufacturing Energy Use, Intensity Down
Total energy consumption in the U.S. manufacturing sector decreased by 17 percent from 2002 to 2010.
Total energy consumption in the U.S. manufacturing sector decreased by 17 percent from 2002 to 2010, according to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Manufacturing gross output decreased by only 3 percent over the same period. Taken together, these data indicate a significant decline in the amount of energy used per unit of gross manufacturing output. The significant decline in energy intensity reflects both improvements in energy efficiency and changes in the manufacturing output mix. Consumption of every fuel used for manufacturing declined over this period.
The broad U.S. manufacturing sector comprised over 11 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2010. It includes energy-intensive industries (those that use relatively large amounts of energy) such as petroleum refining, chemicals, aluminum, iron and steel, paper, wood products, and food, as well as less energy-intensive industries such as textiles, leather, apparel, furniture, machinery and electrical equipment.
Energy for manufacturing can be consumed in two ways: as a fuel or as a feedstock (material input to a final product). Energy consumed as a fuel includes all energy used for heat and power. Energy used as feedstock is the use of energy sources for raw material input or for any purpose other than the production of heat or power.
U.S. manufacturing used over 14 quadrillion BTU of energy as a fuel in 2010, a decrease of 13 percent from the 2002 level. Fuel consumption in the five most energy-intensive subsectors accounted for 81 percent of fuel use in manufacturing. Two energy-intensive subsectors (petroleum and coal products and food) showed 3.5 percent increases in their fuel consumption from 2002 to 2010.
Feedstock energy use in U.S. manufacturing accounts for more than 6 percent of all energy consumed in the country. Although nearly all manufacturers use energy as a fuel, 99 percent of feedstock energy use occurs in only three manufacturing subsectors: primary metals, chemicals, and petroleum and coal products.
Here's a link to the complete survey.

again had they had evidence that it was her that disposed the body it would of been enough with the other things they brought forth in the trial to get her murder one.
Its not a stretch at all.
It's not a stretch, it's just plain wrong.
I will say, even if they had video of her disposing the body, even with all the circumstantial evidence that is HIGHLY unlikely that she would have gotten Murder 1, and even if she did I would say there there is less then a 1% chance she would have gotten the death Penalty (is the Death Penalty even allowed in that state?)
It is likely they would have went with the accidental theory that Morehead brought up earlier...which means at worst with the evidence provided (including this magic video tape of her disposing the body) I think it's almost a sure thing she would have ended up with manslaughter.....because of the supposed accidental nature of the death.
no way... all the lies she would of been caught in? Murder 1 would of been guaranteed
Florida is a death penalty state and we weren't debating whether she would have gotten it or not. I suggest that she should have. It was a personal opinion. And its not emotional:
first degree murder n. although it varies from
state to state, it is generally a killing which is deliberate and
premeditated (planned, after lying in wait, by poison or as part of a
scheme), in conjunction with felonies such as rape, burglary, arson,
involving multiple deaths, the killing of certain types of people (such
as a child, a police officer, a prison guard, a fellow prisoner), or
with certain weapons, particularly a gun. The specific criteria for
first degree murder are established by statute in each state and by the
United States Code in federal prosecutions. It is distinguished from
second degree murder in which premeditation is usually absent, and from
manslaughter which lacks premeditation and suggests that at most there
was intent to harm rather than to kill. (See: murder, second degree murder, manslaughter, felony murder doctrine)

what caliber
Well ,,, here she is, fresh finished up,,,
My new Springfield ready to sight in and hunt with. I'm pleased with how it came out over all,, now if she shoots as good as looks,, I'm golden,,,,
I left the stock trigger in, just polished it down to 4lbs( good for the field), polished and jeweled the bolt ect, redid the stock, satin finish, which had a couple bad dings in it and,I had to steam out. The surface was wavy too and had to block that out all over to sharpen up the "sharp lines" on the side of the fore arm. Polished the chamber lightly and worked the follower and polished, lapped the bolt face, put on a Japanese made older Bushnell 3-10.5 x45mm on it, on cantilever mounts,, nothing fancy,, but a good scope. re- hot blued it. Case hardened the safety barrel sleeve. It already had a Douglas mid profile 22" barrel on it that head spaced nice and tight and checked out perfect, not sure but I think it may be a match chamber, it measures up right , duno?? It comes in at 8lb 6 oz loaded with 5,,not to bad.
Got high hopes for it, I bought it local and know someone that has shot it before,,,,, and he said it drive tacks,,so we'll see.
what caliber
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Very nice peice of Work Something to be Proud Of Thanksfor sharing the Pics!,,,Doc
Caliber 30-06,, one of my favorites,, Hell ,,I can use this for anything from fox to moose with the selection of projectiles available for 06.
Did ya get my PM yesterday Sprat?
Thanks Doc,, appreciated.
God so loved the world He gave his only Son...
...Believe in Him and have everlasting life.
John 3:16
Very nice I li/ke the jeweled bolt
I've always liked the jeweled bolts too, one of my buds had a home made jig to do it so I thought I'd give it a try. It turned out perfect,,, but,,,, OMG,,, it took some kind of time to do it right!! That takes allot of patience to get just right!! Good thing it wasn't done by the hour!!!!!
Knocked that one out of the park brother. Let us know how she shoots.

The apartment was big, very clean and beautifully decorated. It even had to bathrooms!
The receptionist was very nice and helpful. Our car was to big to fit in their parking, so they found another one for us in a near hotel.
The breakfast was a bit expensive, but they also recommended us other places to go. However, we decided to have breakfast there because it was faster.
The street was quite noisy but with the windows closed it was not a problem to sleep.
It is a long walk to the center, but it is not far from the Wenceslao Square and it is very well connected with tram.
It was a great stay!

A rare mythical creature that is difficult to spot. They are similar to centaurs, but they have an invisible horn that distinguishes them from the classic centaur. They are known to be excellent at everything they attempt and rarely, if ever, do they sleep.
A centaur. Plus a horn. Turned invisible. Minus sleep. Multiplied by perfection. Equals centinaur.

Teens come to the rescue of abandoned cat
Teens come to the rescue of abandoned cat
Cross country team at Marquette University High School praised as Good Samaritans
Last Friday, a group of Marquette University High School Cross Country Team members were out on their usual run when they came upon a helpless kitty.
The abandoned cat was locked in a carrier on the west side of the Wisconsin Humane Society. The boys ran into the lobby to alert shelter staff, who brought the cat inside. She was a bit rattled and hungry, but healthy. "Wells" the cat is now available for adoption into a new loving home.
"This simple act of kindness meant everything to this poor cat," said Angela Speed, director of community relations at the Wisconsin Humane Society. "We unfortunately hear many stories about kids hurting helpless animals, but these kids simply did the right thing. They acted with compassion and kindness, and we couldn't be more proud and thankful to them."
