Bend man shot by wife's gun improving
Woman cited; husband upgraded to fair condition
BEND, Ore. - A Bend woman was cited on assault and reckless endangering charges Thursday after a loaded .22-caliber Derringer pistol fell out of her pocket during a visit to McDonald's and it fired, striking her husband in the abdomen police said. He remained hospitalized Friday, but had improved to fair condition.
Officers were called to the McDonald's at 2000 NE Third Street around 1:15 p.m. on the reported gunshot wound, said Lt. Chris Carney.
Carney said a preliminary investigation revealed that Richard Lee Cooper, 47, and wife Barbara Annette Masters, 48, were sitting in the restaurant's dining area when Masters leaned forward and the gun fell out of her pocket and hit the floor.
The impact with the floor caused the gun to go off, with the bullet striking Cooper in the abdomen, he said.
Medics took Cooper to St. Charles-Bend, where he was reported in serious condition later in the day. By Friday, he was listed in fair condition.
Masters was cooperative during the investigation, Carney said, and was cited at the scene on third-degree assault and reckless endangering charges and released.
Police said there were about 15 customers inside the restaurant at the time. Christina Burley, like many of them, was still shaken up as they left the scene.
"I was just sitting there, talking to a lady and all of a sudden we hear this huge boom," Burley said. "We just (gasp) -- 'Oh, my God!'"
The customers were shocked to hear the gun go off -- and especially so close to them.
"Everybody just looked, you know, and they were like, 'Oh my God!'" Burley said. "Half of the restaurant just circled around him and started calling 911."
Many of the others on hand said they felt lucky the shooting wasn't even worse.
"Thanking God it wasn't me," Burley said.
Carney said the situation really points to the importance of gun safety and to always be extra careful while carrying a weapon.
"Obviously, with all the things going on in our country and round the world, anything like this will affect people, and it is really scary," Carney said on the scene.
Carney later offered some reminders of "the four cardinal rules of firearm safety:"
- Treat all firearms as if they are always loaded.
- Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you're on target and have made the conscious decision to shoot.
- Never point a firearm at anything you are not willing to kill or destroy.
- Always be aware of your target, the backstop, and what lies beyond.

Hey everybody. I live in Alabama and just bought some land in Georgia.
I bought a couple of hives and did a removal of a small wild colony last month. I was a serious beekeeper in the 80's and kept a few hives in the 90's.
I want to get up to maybe 40 or 50 colonies over the next couple of years if battling mites and beetles doesn't turn out to be too much of a problem.

I plan on agressively splitting within the next month. I have eight hives that are 10 frame double Langstroth Deeps. I plan to pull a several frames from each to make at least 12 more hives. I have 15 queens coming at the end of Feb, and a couple of them might need to go elsewhere so I am hoping to use a minimum of 12.
My delima is having drawn out comb in the honey supers. I have 4 supers that are completely drawn out but I would like to make as many as possible with the spring feeding and build up.
I live in Zone 7A in NC and there is good natural forage and I have 4 acres of crimson clover and one acre of wildflowers planted for the bees.
I know a few people who run single deep HB's all season long, but the old school around here has always been double deeps. I have always ran double deeps. I did notice the hives (including the very large ones) this year all seemed to winter in the top deep with virtually no stores in the bottom deep.
So do you guys think it would be feasible to make the splits and have the new and the old hives all at single deeps just so they dont have as many hive frames to draw out and can concentrate more on super frames?
Would you just worry about expansion and filling the double deeps and not worry so much about honey?
I just did not get a lot of honey last year because I was busy making increases and having them draw out deep frames...Heck I had one hive draw out 36 deep frames and 10 shallows... But I would like to make some honey this year.
Thanks in advance.

I've finally decided to make my own web and use it as portfolio so I can show my work to potential employers. It would be nice if I could get some feedback on the way I'm showing my work, so I won't give a bad impression. The site is still under construction, but I want to get some advice from you guys before I go on so I can correct my mistakes or improve things:
Things I'm worried about:
- Is it getting too long? This specific project is pretty big and I still have some more parts to write about.
- Am I using the proper format? Is it okay to link to the source code the way I'm doing it or is it better to embed smaller parts on the page?
- Is the video demo actually helping? Is it a good practice?
- I'm not a native english speaker. Am I expressing myself correctly? (I'm aware there are some gramatical errors which I'll definitely clear up before going live.). Do my points get across or it just reads like a lot of gibberish?
Thank you so much for your time.
P.S: This is an unrelated question, but don't want to flood the board with topics. I'm going to apply to a job and I must provide an introduction letter and a covering letter and I can't figure the difference between the two. Any ideas? If it's wrong to ask the question here I'll edit the post and create a separate thread, thanks.

Top: Romolo Martemucci
Bottom: Martemucci's students survey Hadrian's villa in Tivoli, Italy
Expert discusses progress, preservation balance
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Nov. 5, 2007)--The UTSA College of Architecture will present Romolo Martemucci, AIA and professor of architecture at Penn State, in a forum at 5 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 7 in the Monterey Building Architecture Gallery (1.108), Downtown Campus.
Martemucci will discuss preservation and practices for construction in an archeological situation. His remarks are based on his recent paper, "Architecture for the Admirable Art of Archeology or Tracing Tactile Thought in the Marking of Architecture."

Anytime a building project gets underway in Rome and its outlying urban zone, there is a significant chance of the construction site becoming an archeological site. As construction, improvement and redevelopment continue in San Antonio, particularly in the downtown area and on the River North expansion, the city could encounter similar scenarios.
"Architectural sites always include traces of past human intervention," said Martemucci. "Archeological sites offer a helpful laboratory for the understanding of how meaning is analyzed, understood and represented through the mental and physical interpretation of the traces of the past."
A member of the American Institute of Architects, Martemucci is director of the Sede de Roma, Penn State's architecture program in Rome, Italy. He has studied and conducted projects for the Italian cities of Siena, Matera, Tursi, Atri, Tivoli and the Tuscan city of Quarrata.

First time beekeeper wondering how to keep our Warre hive cool enough to make it through summer in Arizona. We have the hive under a covered horse corral with shade cloth on the west side. Wondering about plans for a screened bottom board. Saw the photos of sumps . . . What keeps the bees from drawing comb in them?
Thanks, JulieB

Flyfishing on the Kootenai River (Montana & Idaho)
At dusk an angler casts for Westslope Cutthrout and Redband Trout in the beautiful Kootenai River. The river originates in Canada, flows into Montana and then Idaho, then returns to Canada in British Columbia where it discharges into the Columbia River.
The river is currently being fertilized by the Kootenai India Tribe to increase production of burbot and sturgeon, which share the river with the trout. This is a large fertilization project, as the river was flowing at 14,000 cubic feet per second (400 meters cubed per second) during our late July float trip.

iIthought that I would share this data with you because it has very good information about our combs
Effects of Comb Age on Honey Bee Colony Growth
iIthought that I would share this data with you because it has very good information about our combs
Effects of Comb Age on Honey Bee Colony Growth
My websitehttp://bees4u.com/
Very interesting article. Here is the summary.
This research examined the effects of comb age
on honey bee colony growth and brood survivorship.
Experimental old combs were of an
unknown age, but were dark and heavy as typical
of combs one or more years old. New
combs were produced just prior to the beginning
of the experiment and had never had
brood previously reared in them. Either old or
new combs were installed into each of 2124
nucleus colonies each year over a three-year
period. On average, colonies with new comb
produced a greater area (cm2) of brood, a
greater area (cm2) of sealed brood, and a higher
weight of individual young bees (mg). Brood
survivorship was the only variable significantly
higher in old comb.
Thank you for reading the data and your reply.
My websitehttp://bees4u.com/
hey i cant find the artical? what do you mean about the brood survivership was greater? that the old comb had more of the brood hatch out?
Interesting article but as with many honey bee experiments you always have to ask, how do you come to these conclusions when there are so many uncontrolable variables. For instance, the article states that the experimenters put the old comb in large established colonies to clean it of debris. How do we know that some or all of these colonies were perfectly health. How do we know that they didn't pass just enough Nosema spores to affect the data.
I am not saying that this was a bad experiment...probably just a bit superfluous since common sense tells me that newer comb would be better. In nature the wax moth takes care of old comb.
Time of the year can be a factor. I have seen really new comb nearly ignored in Feb and eagerly brooded in 6 weeks later.
John B Jacob www.oldsolbees.com
All I am suggesting is that sometimes location, time of the year, and intensity of the flow may have a greater affect on outcomes than comb age does at other times of the year.
John B Jacob www.oldsolbees.com
One time, I was culling out old comb which was also heavy with drone comb. About 300 boxes. Well along came a wet year. I made splits and filled every box with bees. Those hives on that junk comb produced great bees and averaged the same honey as the hives on mostly new comb. Not scientific just facts. Of coarse this was befor Fluvalinate and the rest of the pesticides used today.

Are there any tall physical corners in this draft? I would love to draft one.
Watching Richard Sherman play is making me jealous.
Mood: WOOF!
Man, we really need some good LB's.. Watching Weatherspoon and Wagner makes me really wish we had people like that..
Earl Thomas with another pick.. Hes been making plays all over the field in his young career.. The seahawks have a great young defense! seriously, they are loaded!
Turbin also making plays, another player i liked alot! This team drats alot of players i liked...
Last edited by nycsportzfan; 01-13-2013 at 03:35 PM.
What a tackle in space by Earl Thomas! One play before, KJ Wright stopped Julio Jones on a WR screen behind the line... Freaking love this defense! We gotta start loading up other positons, because i'm watching CB's, LB's and S's making plays for Seattle left and right! Bruce Irvin has been invisible, but these guys just keep stepping up... We gotta get some LB"s and studs in the secondary..
Hhaha, total choke job by Matt Ryan yet again.. Man, having QB's that are agile is freaking huge! Sean Weatherspoon had Russ Wilson dead to rights on a sack that would of basically ended Seattles chances, and Russell Wilson simply spun away from it like nothing. Hence, why LB's and S's are needed, because these big old Lineman can't get to these guys even when they crash the pocket.. There so easy to get away from...
How can someones nick name be Matty Ice when hes such a choke artist? If i was a Atlanta fan, i'd be sick to my stomach.. How in the world did they blow this one?


text:
I definitely want Suggs there - surely the best lineup would be Harbs, Flacco, Suggs and Ray?
49ers will win by at least 14. Their defense will smack Atlanta in the mouth and dominate with their D-line and their O-line.
...okay that was badly timed given the 46 yard touchdown Atlanta just scored. 49ers will still win!

Lisa Edelstein naked pics in HouseWednesday, May 5th, 2010
So, you say you're a House fanatic huh? You have every single episode of that brilliantly-made TV series complete with the posters and what not? That's cool. If you ask me, I think the ladies in that show are really tasty-looking, starting with the brunette hottie Jennifer Morrison, the seductive vixen Olivia Wilde to the blonde bombshell Anne Dudek but there is only one hot mama I've kept an eye on since day one. It 's this big bucket of milfy goodness that is Dr. Lisa Cuddy, well, Lisa Edelstein in real life. And if you say you're a true fanatic, then you might have heard what happened last week on the set of House. If not, you might be overly shocked to hear this treat I have for you.
Seen here is Lisa Edelstein's leaked naked pics showing her fully naked tits and pussy while posing at the ward. It was reported that the staff of House had a party where Lisa got drunk off her ass and started taking her clothes off infront of the crowd. She then sat down on the corner of the room, with stripper heels on and started to spread her legs apart and fingerfucked her cunt. Want to know the rest of the story? Get your ass over HERE to see more of Lisa Edelstein's pussy taking a hard cock in any way possible.

Chong, Doryun. "Anselm Kiefer." In Bits & Pieces Put Together to Present a Semblance of a Whole: Walker Art Center Collections, edited by Joan Rothfuss and Elizabeth Carpenter. Minneapolis, MN: Walker Art Center, 2005.
© 2005 Walker Art Center
Born in Germany the year World War II ended, Anselm Kiefer probably could not help but be burdened by the weight of history. He studied art in Karlsruhe, then in Düsseldorf, where he met Joseph Beuys, whose abiding concern lay in exploring and teaching art's potential for healing and reparation. Kiefer chose painting as his primary mode of expression and expanded the medium by combining profound subject matter with eccentric materials such as straw, shellac, and lead, and unusual processes like open-air aging. Although his interest does not lie in reviving classical history painting, Kiefer's works approach that genre from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in their grand physical scale, topicality, and astounding visual and material effects.1 His paintings contain no landscapes peopled by perfectly proportioned anthropomorphic gods and godly humans. Instead, his settings are scorched earth or dimly lit sepulchers, with human beings all but evacuated. History is a dark cavern of the subconscious, inscribed with ruination and mourning, leading to even deeper labyrinths of archetypal mythologies.
From the very beginning of his artistic career, Kiefer has investigated what it means to be German and to be an artist in the tabula rasa left by National Socialism, which had confiscated visual imagery in toto. In Occupation (1969), an early photographic series done in a conceptualist vein, he took pictures of himself making the Sieg Heil gesture against the backdrop of historical monuments or expansive landscapes at different locations in Europe. In subsequent bodies of works in the 1970s and early 1980s, he persistently analyzed the question of what constitutes Germanness by exploring subjects such as the Nibelungen and other Wagnerian legends, "the tree and forest" mythology, Albert Speer's Nazi architectural monuments, and the figures of Margarete and Shulamite from Paul Celan's poem "Todesfuge" ("Death fugue").2 In the early 1980s, the artist began to delve into a more eclectic mix—the Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh, the Norse myth of Edda, the Book of Exodus, and Egyptian mythology.
In the mid-1980s, biblical themes and medieval mysticism became especially prominent in Kiefer's vision, and both paintings in the Walker Art Center's collection are products of this change. Die Ordnung der Engel (The Hierarchy of Angels) (1985–1987) is based on the description of "celestial hierarchy" by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite.3 The title is inscribed above the horizon, drawn close to the upper edge of the painting in what appears to be sea foam or clouds. Across the horizontal expanse of the dark gray and earth-toned canvas, nine rocks of curdled lead are hung with wires at varying heights, each one identified, with a tag, as one of the nine orders of the celestial hierarchy. An airplane propeller cuts across the top, as if sending the ranks of angels flying across the landscape. The propeller, a familiar motif in Kiefer's work, is meant as "an object moving through history and time in a spiral motion, finally arriving on the surface of his painting."4Emanation (1984–1986), by contrast, is a vertically elongated canvas. The horizon is placed in the lower section of the canvas, creating an ominous firmament stacked on top of a forbidding sea. The column of molten lead almost completely bisecting the painting refers to, among other sources, the description in the Bible of how God led the Israelites through the wilderness: "By day in a pillar of cloud … and by night in a pillar of fire" (Exod.13:21). Both the notion of emanation and the hierarchy of heavenly beings are features of medieval Jewish mysticism, inherited from the Neoplatonic philosophy of early Christian thinkers.5
German critic Andreas Huyssen, refusing to accept that Kiefer's paintings transcend history via myth, writes: "Kiefer's work can be read as a sustained reflection on how mythic images function in history, how myth can never escape history, and how history in turn has to rely on mythic images."6 While Kiefer would certainly see his art as a resolute working-through of a disastrous history, not as an apology for or glorification of it, it is difficult to deny that his art generates an experience of transcendence, even if that means a descent into the bowels of the human spirit where nobility and charity, violence and rage, play equal parts.
Occupying the highest position in the academic hierarchy of genres in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, history painting—also known as the grand genre—found its subjects in mythological, historical, literary, or allegorical themes. It ranked above all other types of painting—portraiture and landscape, for instance—as it was intended to edify the mind rather than merely please the eye. ↩
Andreas Huyssen succinctly inventories these different ingredients of German civilization explored in Kiefer's art in his essay "Anselm Kiefer: The Terror of History, the Temptation of Myth," October 48 (Spring 1989): 29. Paul Celan's poem was written in 1945 while he was in a concentration camp and published in 1952. It is reprinted in full in Mark Rosenthal, Anselm Kiefer, exh. cat. (Chicago: The Art Institute of Chicago; Philadelphia: Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1987), 95–96. ↩
Dionysius the Areopagite is the first-century Athenian who was converted to Christianity by Saint Paul. The story is narrated in the Book of Acts (Acts 17:34). The author of The Celestial Hierarchy, however, was a fifth- or sixth-century philosopher who impersonated the original Dionysius and is thus called "Pseudo-Dionysius." See The Columbia Encyclopedia (Sixth Edition, 2001). In another painting of the same title—currently in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago—Kiefer inscribes the philosopher's name, intentionally misspelling Areopagite as "Aeropagite." Rosenthal suggests that Kiefer draws a connection between the prefix "aero," which relates to air, aerial, and celestial, and angels and airplanes. See Rosenthal, Anselm Kiefer, 137. ↩
Ibid., 137. ↩
In his correspondence with Martin Friedman dated September 1989, Kiefer identifies the Bible, the Kabbalah, and the Babylonian Talmud as the painting's textual sources (Walker Art Center Archives). ↩

In terms of righting the wrongs of last year, Nathan Friend hopes an attitude adjustment and some structural changes will be key to getting the Warriors back on track.
Friend offered one of the more honest appraisals of his team's plight late last season, towards the beginning of that eight-game losing streak.
"We are very up and down with our defence," he told the Herald on Sunday in August . "If we could get some consistency there, that would be great. You can see sometimes guys don't want to get their heads in there. I guess that is just an attitude thing."
Now he believes the bitter lessons of 2012 will pay some large dividends in the long run: "A lot of guys who made the grade the year before [in 2011] probably thought this is pretty easy," says Friend, looking refreshed after an off-season break back home in Queensland and short vacation in Fiji. "You come in, do your thing and then you play in a grand final.
"I think they have realised this year that you only get rewards from effort. Some will pull their heads in and some will train their butt off."
Friend also thinks that structural changes - in attack and especially in defence - need to be a key focus of the next few months, as the Warriors' pre-season officially gets under way.
"[Last year] they went away from the structure they had used previously and it probably didn't pan out how we would have liked," says Friend. "It would be good to get back to using the guys the best way they know how; going flat and hard at the line and getting some quicker play-the-balls, allowing the other guys with their footwork to take advantage of that. We went a bit lateral last year but we still scored points. Our attack isn't the major factor that we need to fix up this year."
NRL teams usually spend about 70 per cent of their training time on the defensive side of the sport, as the modern game is won or lost on what you do without the ball. Last season, the Warriors were all at sea defensively; only six times did they concede less than 20 points and they only managed to hold their opponents to 10 points or less twice (vs Titans, round four; vs Broncos, round 19).
"The coaching staff realised halfway through the season that our defence just wasn't working so they tried to implement stuff but it is very hard during the season to implement a [new] structure," says Friend. "The only way we can improve on last season's structure is in the off-season with Matt [coach, Elliott] bringing his structure and we all get on board. Confidence will come if we can hold teams out; if you can hold teams out and stop them from scoring, that is as good as scoring tries in this day and age."
The arrival of Thomas Leuluai, Dane Nielsen and Todd Lowrie - all of whom would probably nominate tackling and defence as their main strengths in a SWOT analysis - can only help the team evolve into a superior defensive unit.
Elliott has talked individually with almost all of the players in the wider first grade squad over the last two weeks, getting their views on 2012 and what needs to happen next season.
"We had a pretty lengthy conversation," says Friend. "I won't delve into what was said within the four walls but he has had everyone in and taken a lot of notes. I'm sure he will put it all together and come out with a plan that will hopefully have us heading in the right direction next year."
Friend has been out of his sling for two weeks and reports that his damaged shoulder "feels okay". He will do as much as he can with the team over the next few months but doesn't expect to be involved in full contact work until February.
Like most of the squad, he is ready for some tough sessions under new trainer Carl Jennings, after the criticism of their fitness levels in 2012.
"Hopefully the conditioning regime is a solid one and gets us ready for whatever comes next year," says Friend. "Last season it was solid so we need to keep that but probably have a bit more training under fatigue." The landscape might also change for Friend next season with the arrival of Leuluai from Wigan. The Kiwi international is being earmarked for a role in the halves alongside Shaun Johnson but spent a lot of his time at Central Park playing at hooker and has also been used in the dummy half role by Stephen Kearney at international level.
"I thought he was mainly a halfback," says Friend, "but I'm not too concerned. Last year there was Alehana Mara and also Pita Godinet who could play dummy half. Most of my career I've jostled with hookers to get a start and it's healthy - it brings out the best in everybody."

In an exhaustive and unequivocal recentdecision, Massachusetts Superior Court JudgeFrancis R. Fecteau ordered a new trial forBernard Baran, who, as previously profiled in thePhoenix and theNation, has been serving concurrent life sentences since the mid 1980s for child molestation at a daycare center in Western Massachusetts.
Judge Fecteau's decision pivots on an ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim stemming from the use — actually, the nonuse — of unedited videotaped interviews. The interviews, which were recorded as children were being prepped to testify, emerged mysteriously only after the death of the district attorney who originally tried Baran, demonstrate the utter pliability of the accuser-kids' minds, and would have therefore proven markedly beneficial to Baran's defense. Significantly, Berkshire County DA David F. Capeless, upon assuming his deceased former boss's mantle, found and turned over the tapes that his predecessor claimed to be unable to find during a four-year "search" conducted only after Baran's current counsel and Judge Fecteau demanded that they be found.
The grand jury that indicted Baran in 1984 had heard edited versions of the tapes. Had the jury that convicted him a year later heard the unedited originals, rather than the coached testimony of children on the stand, they might well have concluded that the allegations of abuse were planted in the children's minds. Yet the tapes of the full interviews were never used at trial. Why not? As Judge Fecteau details, either the trial counsel didn't know of their existence (a possibility that raises grave questions about the original prosecutor's honesty) or Baran's defense lawyer, who was paid $1000 by the Baran family to handle the entire trial, knew of the videotapes and didn't use them (a possibility that raises equally grave questions about the quality of legal representation for poor defendants. Either way, Judge Fecteau ruled, Baran's lawyer provided ineffective counsel, and thus Baran deserves at the very least a new trial.
Judge Fecteau goes on to dissect, expose, and decimate the pseudo-scientific fervor that fueled the hysteria engulfing Baran's prosecution in the first place. In no uncertain terms, Judge Fecteau takes the phony experts to task for their role in convicting a man on such shaky evidence. Nor did Judge Fecteau shrink from pointing out the role that homophobia almost certainly played in the jury's verdict.
Rare is the decision that contributes to law and justice in such sweeping terms. Judge Fecteau's opinion, which will assume a place of national importance, does just that.
(Disclosure: the author works in the law office of one of Baran's current attorneys, Harvey Silverglate.)

Where I stayed
Shady Oaks RV Park
Tuesday we drove to Bar Harbor and went to Acadia National Park. We drove through two parts of Acadia, the largest section near Bar Harbor and the smaller peninsula, but did not take the ferry to the island. The seashore was beautiful. Our favorite section was the area around Bar Harbor.
Wednesday we went to Camden and Augusta. It rained on us in Camden; very hard. While we were in Augusta we went to a tavern called "The Liberal Cup" also recommended to us by Valerie and Jason.
Thursday we just hung out at the campground and rested.

Hello Dee, I have contacts to a bee institute in Germany where they testing and breeding bees on 4.9mm cells for some years also.
Have you studied why your hives survive even if theyÂre mite infected?
Do you know exact the reason why this happen or is it a result of many different ways and you find it out by a lucky chance?
IÂm not familiar with test on bees, queens and cells they made on the institute but there a few thinks they discovered why it can work and many times not.
One reason I heard that small bees producing much less pheromones on the 8th day than bigger bees and the Varroa goes by the smell from that pheromone on the 9th day into the cells. More pheromone, more interest to go into the cells.
On tests they neutralized the smell totally and no mite entered the cell.
A second reason the find is, that the Africanized bees breeding only 20 instead 21and most Varroa are not fully developed and canÂt reproduce again.
IÂm not a scientist thatÂs why I say it simple. A combination of both is a possibility why bees live and survive with the mites.
Do you have blood from Africanized bees in your colonies? What does happen in the long run when you sell queens or colonies to someone else and they breeding with non-Africanized drones? Have you any results?
The scientists say if breeding queens and they get fertilized with drones like this it will work, but if youÂre a beekeeper on a different locality with other drones, it doesnÂt work. After a few years the effect is gone and even the bees in 4.9mm cells have a hell of trouble to survive without a treatment.
Would be interesting to hear your experiences over the years.

I have been following a tutorial that I found here on gamedev.net, but it is written in C#, and I am using C, so I am trying to translate everything into C. The tutorial I am following is here: http://www.gamedev.n...ysics-tutorial/
I did the first part and got what looks like a working rigid body simulator, I could apply a force vector and an offset vector and it moved in a way that looked sane. So I moved on to the rest of the tutorial, and I think I translated all the code pretty well, but then as soon as I ran my executable, everything went crazy.
I spent all of 3 days of free time (not that much with class and both of my jobs) looking for bugs. And I can't seem to find any. I found some discrepancies with the vector math in the tutorial and what I read, so I changed my functions to match the ones on the tutorial, and it almost worked, till I tried to use an angle other than 0.
Oh, I'm also using Linux and SDL2. It should compile easily on Windows if you have SDL2, my code is pretty portable.
Anyways, I'll attach the code, take a look at it and see if you can find any problems with my math. You should probably check my rigid body code, just in case I did something wrong but it just looked right to me.
Thank you in advance, I love you.
EDIT:: I posted updated code. The size is also smaller since I left out some unnecessary images. but the other file (a few posts down) has some code I left out before (accidentally) and includes a makefile so it should be enough to compile if you have SDL2.

Communities across mid-Missouri remember Tipton teen
TIPTON, Mo. - Communities across mid-Missouri are finding ways to memorialize the Tipton teenager who died Thursday morning after suffering a head injury during a football game.
Fellow students, competitors and faculty all had good memories to share about Chad Stover.
Alexx Lewis and Drew Norton visited Stover in the hospital after his injury. Even though they were competitors on the field, they had nothing but love for the fallen football player.
"I hope he's not remembered for the injury, but for what he did and who he was," Norton said. "He was a great person and competitor."
"I didn't know him personally, but it didn't matter, he just influenced everyone in this area," Lewis added.
The California High School athletic director, Bob Staton, talked about the legacy Stover leaves behind.
"This is one of those lessons Chad is teaching us -- you stick together, you cry together and you pick each other back up."
The team plans to wear Stover's number, 18, on their football helmets during their playoff game this weekend.
They also take a moment of silence before each other their games to honor Stover.
Staton said schools all across Missouri and even past state borders called to ask when California would be taking the moment of silence so they could do it at the same time.
The students said they are trying to look at the silver lining of the situation. They said it's what Chad would want them to do.

Time Out New York-Rumaging with...
... Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz.
The founders of the minimalist-chic skin-and-hair care line take us shopping for similarly sleek bathroom accessories. By Rachel LeWinter, Photography by Christian Hartman.
Andrew Goetz (right) and Matthew Malin are the men behind MALIN+GOETZ, a unisex line of skin and hair products that empasizes simplicity and balance. Their slick apothecary in Chelsea is an all-white spaceship-like shop that reflectes the premise of their brand; streamlined sophistication. "We wanted to create a skin-care brand that two completely different people could use, regardless of gender or type of skin," says Goetz. "NYC bathrooms are small enough to begin with, so we know how important it is to maximize storage space." Malin adds, "So our products are space-saving but they don't sacrifice quality and they look great in your bathroom."

Washington, DC On Friday, April 16, 2010, the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Department of Education and the Federal Bureau of Investigation will jointly release a study of targeted violence incidents on U.S. campuses of higher learning. Beginning Friday, the study and its findings will be available on each of the agencies' Web sites: www.secretservice.gov, www.ed.gov, and www.fbi.gov.
In response to the Virginia Tech incident on April 16, 2007, former Cabinet Secretaries Michael Leavitt and Margaret Spellings, and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales submitted a Report to the President on Issues Raised by the Virginia Tech Tragedy dated June 13, 2007. The report included a recommendation that the U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Department of Education and the Federal Bureau of Investigation explore the issue of violence at institutions of higher education. Accordingly, the three agencies initiated a collaborative effort, the goal of which was to understand the scope of the problem of targeted violence at these institutions in the United States.
In total, 272 incidents were identified through a comprehensive search of more than 115,000 results in open-source reporting from 1900 to 2008. The findings are pertinent and far-reaching, and the incidents studied include all forms of targeted violence, ranging from domestic violence to serial killers.
Editor's Note For questions concerning the study or its findings, contact the U.S. Secret Service Office of Government and Public Affairs at 202-406-5708, the Department of Education Office of Public Affairs at 202-401-1576, or the FBI Office of Public Affairs at 202-324-3691.

Reviews of this property
We have enjoyed our stay in Palma Virginia`s studio, it's full equiped and perfectly located, just few minutes walking to the Partenon, Piazza Navona.. Palma Virginia is a wonderful hostess, she makes easier your trip since the very moment you book her flat.
We spent a wonderful time in this memorable historic apartment.
It was for us the perfect base to explore all historic sites of Rome. So easy to walk to Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain, and any other monuments and even so this apartment is very quiet !
Great shops, pizzerias and restaurants closeby - we loved restaurants of the old Jewish area -.
Miss Valeria was very welcoming and the apartment was in immaculate condition.
We were very lucky to have had the chance to stay here. Hope to come back someday !
Reviews for this host's other properties
Everything was perfect an well organized. For our family , the apartment was the perfect accommodation in Rome. It is not in the center but the attractions are reachable by subway within minutes. We would not hesitate to book the apartment again.
This property is run by the Perrone family and I'm fully satisfied with their attention to us as guests (I was in contact with Palma Virgina and Francesco). It is noticeable they are the kind of hosts who pay a lot of attention to details, not only the equipment of the property (breakfast for courtesy, kitchen appliances, heating, all is in good conditions and really clean, etc) but to guests queries. No matter if you e-mail, phone or text them, they are very very responsive and undoubtedly in a timely, nicely and professional manner. I would absolutely recommend this accomodation to any potentional traveller. We were a family of 5 plus a baby and felt at home. The house will be one of the good memmories of our trip.
Very nice appartement, clean, big bedrooms, welkom and information was well organised by Germana, we had a great time in Rome.
In the direct vicinity of the centrum, bus and metro and Spar supermarket.
We thought it was a nice apartment. We stayed with 4 people. The large kitchen is practical. The rooms with beds very spacious, as are the bathrooms and everything is clean and of good quality. The reception was very cordial. In the fridge were packaged food, really super. The apartment is easily accessible, the bus stops at the door and the subway is within walking distance. Palma Verginia and Germana, deserve the highest rating.
Wij vonden het een mooi appartement. We verbleven er met 4 personen. De grote keuken is praktisch. De kamers met bedden lekker ruim, net als de badkamers en alles is schoon en van goede kwaliteit. De ontvangst was zeer hartelijk. In de koelkast lagen verpakte etenswaren, echt super. Het appartement is prima bereikbaar, de stadsbus stopt voor de deur en de metro is op loopafstand. Palma Verginia en Germana, verdienen de hoogste waardering.
Perfect place to stay, so glad we chose this apartment rather than a hotel.
The apartment was confortable and welcoming and met all our needs
As soon as we entered this apartment we realized it has been renovated very recently.
We found clean, tidy, sunny bedrooms with a fantastic smell of fresh laundry, super comfortable proper double beds in each room, all facilities (fast wifi) and everything we might need to cook a meal. The bathrooms were functional and the showers excellent. We could not ask for better….
But the big plus was the location. San Giovanni is a stunning part of Rome! La Spezia Road is a very short walk from trendy bars, cafes, restaurants and shopping. It is close to all transportation and, importantly, a few blocks from underground connecting to hearth of city….but even without that it is easy to get wherever in central Rome if you don't mind a bit of walking. The neighbourhood is very safe too which is great when you don't know that well
Starting the day with delicious breakfast and ending it with a glass of wine on the apartment balcony, we really enjoyed every minute of our time.
Communication was great, both before and throughout our stay. Germana was very helpful giving all information needed. We felt at home and well looked after
We recommend 100% this place and definitely we'll come back and stay longer next time.
Great location,beautiful and clean apartment just as described. Palma and Germana were very welcoming. They told us everything we needed to know about the apartment and the city itself.( Great suggestions for eating nearby !) An excellent choice to start town discoveries from and ideal for walk into Central Rome. Kitchen has all the facilities, WiFi is fast, beds are comfy. We loved the large spaces and the decor of the apartment. We really enjoyed our stay. Definetely will recommend it to all Wimdu community
Im Oktober 2015 verbrachten wir mit fünf Personen sechs wundervolle Tage in Rom.
Die zentral gelegene Wohnung war der optimale Ausgangspunkt um die Stadt zu erobern.
In wenigen Minuten erreicht man die U-Bahn, mit der alle Sehenswürdigkeiten bequem zu erreichen sind.
Die Wohnung ist ausgesprochen sauber, sehr gut ausgestattet und absolut empfehlenswert. Für uns ist es schwer vorstellbar etwas besseres zu finden.
Die Kommunikation mit Palma war vorbildlich. Alle Anfragen im Vorfeld, wie z.B. allgemeine Informationen über Rom, Restaurants in der Nähe der Wohnung oder die Organisation des shuttle-service war hervorragend. Alle Anfragen wurden umgehend beantwortet. Man fühlte sich wirklich sehr gut betreut.
Palma, noch einmal herzlichen Dank für alles!
Wir werden Rom noch einmal besuchen, aber nur wenn diese Wohnung zu haben ist.
Wir fanden das Restaurant in der Seitenstraße gegenüber (Al grottino) übrigens optimal, um den Tag ausklingen zu lassen :)

Hi folks, read some of the past threads, first post. I did a freshwater tank a long time ago, and after a few years hiatus I got back into the hobby by starting a couple of nano reefs. Thought to myself, self, if I can do a nano reef I've got to be able to do a nano planted! And here I am. :)
Current plan is for a 1g AquaScene triangle tank from Wal-Mart, upgraded with a 7w Compact Flourscent mini-bulb from Home Depot. Based on what I've read, this should be enough for low-light plants, is that right?
I'd like to keep it ultra simple. As little equipment as possible. Based on some posts here it looks like many plants do ok unheated, so I can skip the heater. So there remains just one question:
Would White Cloud Mountain Minnows be ok without any filtration besides the plants? Two of them (male/female pair)?
I've no problem spending money on providing the proper environment for the fish to be happy in, I'd just like to get this down to the bare minimums.
TIA for any advice! Glad I'm not the only one crazy enough to do a nano planted. :P
Yea i wanted to do the same thing, with the same tank, but i havn't got any posts yet. lol
I don't see why not. The first part would be the hardest part, methinks, as balance could be difficult to achieve. What do you have in mind for substrate and fertilization? No CO2, I take it?
I'm just thinking that it would be great if the only fertilizer you needed to add was fish food, and the only filtration/oxygenation you needed was the plants. This is probably what you had in mind, but you might be into "moderate light" territory. I have 8w/6g, sou you're definitely not as low-light as me...
Edit: grammar.
Get 2 females and a male, they should be ok, I have a tank I keep like that, only slightly larger, but these are large minnows from my pond. Very nice interaction between fishies, not your typical hang around till lunch fish.
2 females, 1 male. Ok. Wasn't sure if 3 would push the envelope, glad you could clarify.
No, no CO2. Substrate is still undecided. Probably end up with laterite or Flourite. Depends on if I have to buy 10lbs and throw away 9lbs of it, lol. Maybe my LFS will give me a handful from one of their tanks. I will probably start with easy plants and not do much fertilization until I gain more experience. We'll see what happens when I get there.
Thanks for the blazingly fast replies!
Erm, a word of caution, these fellas might make babies, even in your small tank, and they are very light eaters, don't overfeed.
I am going to do the same thing. lol Sorry for tagging along. What plants are you going to do? I was thinkin i might just make a Java Fern farm. Or just Star Grass, i wanted just a farm with out different species. I didn't think about fish, i didn't want any fish, so i was going to use potting soil under my sand. Would that work? I am doing an experiment in there now. I took alot of hair algae and put it in there to see if it would grow good with the sun, and then i added alot of cooking sugar, just to see if they would benifit from it, i wonder if it is good to add sugar to a planted tank, if it ain't got no fish? I guess i will go with a star grass farm, since the java fern don't feed off roots, so the potting soil would be a waste. I have 2 males and 1 female leapord danios in my 55 and they are very pretty! If you get 1 male and 2 females of those you won't be sorry. The felmales turn a siver color, and the males turn a very bright rich gold color! They are pretty!
I threw a ball of java moss in there yesterday... they think its nirvana...

The San Diego Chargers lost Sunday to the Denver Broncos 23-30 and the thing is none of us are surprised regarding the outcome. The fans and reporters had expected the Chargers (4-6) to battle hard, but ultimately fall for the second time this season to the Denver Broncos and it's iconic quarterback, Peyton Manning. Chargers Nation was eerily quiet after the game compared to others when twitter, facebook and other social networking sites would blow up with fans keeping the lights on for the 2012 season in hopes that the often frustrating team would turn things around and make the playoffs.
However, this time was devoid of the mathematical and tactical chances of making the playoffs. Instead, comments centered around the changes that need to happen high above Chargers park, with everyone wearing the hat of General Manager and saying louder and louder that the current one needs to be shown the door.
My previous column "Who is to blame for Chargers loss?" focused on who was to blame for the season and the Chargers nation came out on fire after the team's record gained another loss. The team's shocking loss to the
As I examined where the blame could be placed for the Chargers latest troubles, one thing became shockingly apparent: the Chargers nation was becoming smaller. The Chargers fans have been given the title of "fair weather fans" who lack the passion and commitment of such fanbases as those in Green Bay or Philadelphia
where they will fill the stadium up with fans even if the team goes 2-15. Chargers fans are loyal, but blind loyalty in the face of high ticket prices and inept team management is a bit too much to ask for in any economy, especially this one.
Although finding a scapegoat is almost second nature to even the most timid of fans, it's arguable that you can blame or credit one single player or person on a team's overall record. Tom Brady did not single-handedly send the Patriots to back-to-back Super Bowls any more than their coach.
There were several contributing factors to the Chargers disappointing season. If the Chargers (or their fans) are intent on writing off this season and looking forward to 2013, then there are places that they can hope (or pray) the next administration takes heed of to avoid a season repeat. One of the most glaring holes revolves around Left Tacke Jared Gaither. I'm not the only one that's frustrated with the injured Gaither currently spending more time on the sideline wearing a sweatshirt than in pads and a helmet. His lack of presence,much less production, is killing the team's passing game. His backup, Brandyn Dombrowski also plagued with a foot injury has been absent for the season, leaving the task up to rookie free agent, Mike Harris.
The Chargers lack of a legit pass protection has caused Rivers to make some bad decisions this year. It seems you can't hear a discussion about Rivers' troubles without injecting the phrase "running for his life." The offensive line has been a huge disappointment. It's gotten so bad that observers have suggested he use more of the run game to maintain his survival. Unfortunately, the team's run blocking is not much better as Ryan Matthews gets stopped numerous times on the line of scrimmage. So if they can't run and they can't pass, then what happens?
The typical result is an endless amount of three and outs where Rivers gets sacked, forces a fumble, throws the ball away or treats us to one of those wonderful interceptions we are getting so used to seeing. Rivers currently leads the league with 14 interceptions and is tied for fourth in the league with 26 sacks and is easily poised to break last years total of 30 sacks. In addition, he's already tied last season's total of 9 fumbles. In this instance, numbers don't lie nor do they block oncoming defenders.
The Chargers offensive line is rife with problems. Whether the blame can be placed on their youth, lack of experience or a new voice at coaching, it's become clear that that area needs to be addressed before the Chargerslose the skills of one of the league's top quarterbacks. The lack of offensive protection continues to put Rivers in danger, kills the coaches playbook and totally disrupts the offensive scheme. It also hinders the running game, and when you lack a throwing or a running game, well, you have yet another lost season even with 6 games left in this one. You also have a fanbase that is weary of the teams lackluster performance and incompetent leadership. A fanbase that is tired of excuses, high concessions and premium ticket prices for a team that's underperformed.
Like the statement says "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" and it seems like Bolt fans are starting to agree. The Chargers will take on the Baltimore Ravens (8-2) this Sunday at Qualcomm stadium and the team announced that more then 10.000 tickets are available. Expect another TV blackout and expect more and more people not to care.

I'm not normally a fan of turn based games, but with Zodiac Online I found them to be quite fun if they're in an MMO format.
Atlantica sure seems very graphical, I'm not interested in that but more so how the gameplay goes. I like the idea of teaming with others in an turn based environment, but a friend of mine who played it says you don't even need to party anyone, because you can get Allied NPC's to replace them for you. Is this true? Does this sap out all the elements of partying in this game?
Is there a class system to this? I can't find any information on classes.

We're looking for a $1.4-2.2M house in the Los Angeles area, and although the prices have come down a little, it's taking much longer than the rest of the housing market. I always see homes on the internet where the buyer purchased it at the height of the bubble, and is now trying to get out without incurring a loss, or better yet is trying to make a profit. I'm assuming the only thing to do is wait for these homes to go into foreclosure or sell as a short sale?
I was hoping to buy in 2012, but maybe 2014 will be better? I've been waiting for years for this whole mess to unfold, and it's infuriating that we can't speed up the inevitable.

Is Palo Alto Mirroring this San Francisco Housing Probem?
Original post made by Winslow Arbenaugh, Barron Park, on Aug 21, 2007
Here's a hint at where Palo Alto is headed if we keep listening to anti-development radicals that demonize every development of significance,
Web Link
So, now they have Alma Plaza, Edgewood Plaza, and the Stanford project to chew on.
Note to prospective city council candidates: those of you who make it to the Council, take heed of the above article, as well as the dormant properties that small anti-development groups here want to stall, or stop altogether - or otherwise extort massive favors from developers that ends up costing new local residents more money.
It's time to look past the amateur developers (you know, the ones who don't own property, but want to tell others how to use it), and architectual sycophants who think that their opinion is the last word in urban design.
We need some common sense and vision when it comes to our city's future, not fawning attention paid to those whose favorite word is "no".

I wonder how Mr. Winslow will react to the following idea:
Barron Park has a lot of large lots and a remote park that is not available to most residents so lets have a "Redevelopment District" formed in it and place a few "Hyett Type" projects in its midst and also run a road thru to Stanford Industrial Park for easy, short commutes for the residents.
Of course Mr Winslow may be a developer and not even own any property so he may be in favor of this.

There is no redevelopment district necessary, since redevelopment is taking place on its own, every day, via the private marketplace. However, your notion about a cutthrough to SRP is a very good idea. It would reduce traffic in Barron Park, where I live. Very few people would decide to cut through to Arastradero (too complicated). Locals would know their way home, thus cut down on cut through via current, overused routes.

The peninsula needs cross peninsula freeways, starting with the Willow freeway with a Stanford cloverleaf so Stanford traffic need not go on neighboring surface streets.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Aug 22, 2007 at 5:11 pm
Walter, where would that cloverleaf go? I looked at a trusty AAA map to get a feel for your idea. There is the Creek - the county line, Stanford-owned-land El Camino Park on the south side, and the Stanford Park Hotel on the northside of the Creek. News reports re: the Menlo Park Planning Commission indicate that the hotel is planning a massive expansion. Menlo Park cheered on the development of that hotel in probably the one place where Sand Hill could connect to Willow, and Menlo Park deliberately narrowed Willow Road to two lanes after the State's contentious proposal to build a multi-lane freeway from Sunol across the Bay, over the Dumbarton Bridge, out Sand Hill and up and over the mountains to Highway 1. That was about 1962 or 1963. Connecting Sand Hill to Willow was on the ballot in Menlo Park when I first moved to California, and I think it was in 1958. It was defeated.
Please explain how you think this would work. Thank you. Mary C.
a resident of Midtown
on Aug 23, 2007 at 3:31 am
The clover leaf would likely go at Flea street, the freeway Marsh road and the North bank of the creek up to Sand Hill.

Now, Walter, how does an Ayn Rand-loving, private property-sanctifying Libertarian jibe such a plan as you propose, above, with the hundreds of homeowners who would be affected by the eminent domain required to carry it out? And don't even start with fair market value....

Complete the extension of BART around the bay, on both sides, and extending to Salinas (from San Jose junction). Cross the bay with a new BART brdige next to Dunbarton, then dig a tunnel with stations in EPA, Palo Alto Cal Train station and Stanford (Medical Center/Shopping Center), thence connecting with the new BART line coming down the west side of the peninsula. Costly? Yep. Realistic? Not now, but 20 years from now it would be considered a great thing.
This is what I call real infrastructure. It would pump new economic life into the peninsula. Our kids would thank us for it.
How to pay for it? A mixture of things: A gasoline tax on all the counties that would benefit from it; a sales tax from those same counties; state and federal public transit funds.
a resident of another community
on Aug 30, 2007 at 9:20 am
Gene, if your going to put BART up the Peninsula, where would you put it? The only suggestion I have heard is up the middle of Highway 101 which would eliminate several lanes of traffic. How about electrifying CALTRAINS so it would run as efficiently as BART!!!

Economic Activism Background
Who profits from the Israeli occupation? What economic interests further entrench the colonization and exploitation of Palestinian land and resources? How can we influence corporate policies in Palestine – and through this work weaken and isolate the occupation?
This year, Global Exchange is launching a new project promoting economic activism for justice in Palestine. The Economic Activism project seeks to support campaigns for divestment and corporate accountability nationally by providing education, training, networking, strategic tools, and research support. This initiative responds to the Palestinian civil society call for boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) until Israel complies with international law and universal principles of human rights.
Project leader, Dalit Baum, PhD, is a founder of Who Profits, an activist research initiative of the Coalition of Women for Peace in Israel. During the last four years, Who Profits has become a vital resource for dozens of campaigns around the world providing information about corporate complicity in the occupation of Palestine. This includes corporate involvement in the construction of Israeli colonies and infrastructure in the occupied territories, in the settlements' economy, in building walls and checkpoints, and in the supply of specific equipment used in the control and repression of the civilian population under occupation.
For more information on economic activism campaigns in the United States, check out our Campaigns section, and/or go hear Dalit speak.

Pacific Standard speaks with Dr. Peter Hotez about the possibility of neglected tropical disease outbreaks spreading from Syria to other European countries.
"If you look at what's happening now in Syria, it's not just polio. With the whole breakdown in infrastructure you're seeing a rise in measles, because kids aren't getting their vaccinations. You're seeing a lot of problems with dengue fever, which is a mosquito-transmitted infection." And, he continued, you're seeing problems with "Aleppo evil," AKA leishmaniasias, which causes terrible ulcers to appear on the skin and face. "Now there's an estimated more than 100,000 cases of it in Syria," Hotez recounted, "but it's also appearing in refugees fleeing Syria and going into the neighboring nations of Turkey and Lebanon." There is no vaccine for leishmaniasias."

Posted: January 4, 2011 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (January 4, 2011)—The American Council on Exercise (ACE), America's leading authority on fitness and the largest nonprofit fitness certification, education and training organization in the world, today announced its vision for the future of the fitness industry and overall outlook for America's focus on healthy living in 2011. Among the organization's latest efforts to inspire, motivate and encourage people to make physical activity an integral part of their everyday lives, the American Council on Exercise has identified 10 key objectives to help individuals from all walks of life and communities from coast to coast come together to take action in support of the nation's goal to combat the obesity epidemic. Specifically, ACE is advocating greater collaboration with community leaders to develop and enhance exercise programs, encouraging neighbors to get more involved with each other and their communities, rallying with other industry partners to create greater public access to fitness resources and federal funding to help support fitness initiatives on a local level all across the country.
"While our organization has always remained dedicated to providing education and resources for ACE fitness professionals, our vision has evolved to address the needs of consumers and to encourage active lifestyles among people of all ages and all levels of fitness in every community," said Scott Goudeseune, American Council on Exercise president and CEO. "It is important for everyone to begin looking at fitness though a new lens in order to accomplish our collective goal, and we encourage others to put fitness in focus at the local level so that we can together create more active and healthy communities."
The following are the Council's 2011 key objectives to helping Americans begin to reach a collective goal of combatting the nation's obesity epidemic:
Goudeseune concluded, "The ultimate charge is for neighbors within communities across America to take advantage of fitness- and activity-related opportunities in order to not only live longer, but to also support one another and strengthen our communities as a whole reinforcing our attachment to the place we call 'home' as well as our attachment to each other."

Loose Miniature Horses on Oklahoma Highway Cause Major Problems
Two horses loose on Interstate 40 led to a serious wreck Friday morning.
Jeannie Troxel, a witness, chased the horses for hours.
She stopped when she saw the light brown mare and her colt loose as she drove to work at 7 a.m.
"We almost hit the horse," Troxel said. "All you could do is, 'Oh my God.'"
Others joined in on the corral, along with the owners, Oklahoma Highway Patrol and Animal Welfare.
They caught the mother, Aurora, and her son, Prince Phillip, but the mare got free as they worked to load them in a trailer.
Just down the highway, the wrangling efforts had drivers curious on what led to the crash.
Troopers said a white truck was stopped in the middle of the interstate when it was hit from behind and ended up in the trees.

If you file bugs against the GTK+ bindings for TOM, I'd be happy to look into fixing them. I'm less enthusiastic about fixing the GNOME parts, but may be willing to fix that as well. Alternatively, I'd happily accept patches!
About the TOM VM, there is a TOM VM written. It hasn't been well tested due to the lack of a bytecode compiler. We'll get to that at some point. :) We're working on other TOM projects at the moment though, so it may take a while.

The Vedic scriptures explain that a person who wants to engage in devotional service to the Supreme Lord Sri Krsna, with the aim of becoming His eternal servant, must take shelter of a bona fide spiritual master. Under the guidance of such a guru, one must hear and read about spiritual topics, such as those described in Srimad Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, Sri Caitanya-caritamrta and other scriptures. The young, yet interested, audience often finds these literatures difficult to read and understand. The subject matter is deep and the language complex, therefore we are presenting Sri Caitanya-lila for Children. The contents of this compilation have been taken from Sri Caitanya-bhagavata by Sri Vrndavana dasa Thakura, Sri Caitanya-caritamrta by Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami, and from some of Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja's own commentaries on these pastimes.
