From the account of Horace Black, formerly of the village of Southreach, as recorded by Brother Ignaz, Devoted of Tyr.
Flails story is a simple one for the most part, but I must relate that it takes a most terrible turn.
His true name was Samel Grath. He inherited the family farm at a young age, married within his village and fathered two children, both of whom survived infancy with a hardiness uncommon for that social class. Together he and his family tilled their small plot, marketed their produce and tended a small flock of sheep in the foothills above their village. Life was hard, but satisfying, and the peaceful course of his existence was of great pleasure to him.
Two years ago, Samel returned from the village market to find his wife pale with distress. Their children had not yet returned from the pastures when they had gone to retrieve the flock, and darkness was coming on quickly. Samel took up lantern and cudgel and sent his wife to find a neighbor, for wolves were known to descend on the pasture after dark. But what he found was far worse than any wolf was capable of.
His children, a boy and a girl aged 10 and 12, were unrecognizable as human when he came upon their remains. They had been torn horribly limb from limb, their blood splashed upon the earth and their lights ground into paste. Samel managed to keep the reality from his wife, but he gathered his shattered offspring into baskets himself and laid out what was left of them in the church for burial. Neighbors said he returned to his home then, walked past his sobbing spouse and returned to his task of the previous night: mending a broken flail by the fire.
His wife eventually cried herself into an exhausted sleep, but Samel sat, bleary-eyed and shaking, long into the night. The flail was mended, and still he sat, turning it over and over in his hands, when a faint knock came at the door. His wife awoke from her fitful slumber quite beside herself with grief and cried out for her lost babies. To the great amazement and horror of the parents, the childrens voices cried back from beyond the oaken door. Flail staggered up from his seat by the fire, but his wife beat him to the door by several steps and flung it open, reaching out for her children.
What reached back at her I know not how to describe, as I only saw the aftermath of what followed. The bones of the children were reanimated, bound together with strips of flayed flesh and hung with bits of scalp and entrails. They moved of their own will, and apparently with unnatural speed. They clawed at their poor mothers face, dragging her down screaming before Samel could reach her. They ravaged the breasts that had nursed them, tore out the throat that had sung to them what sense Samel had left abandoned him at that moment. With his flail, he destroyed his younglings for the second time that evening, smashing their bones as they clawed and shredded his skin. By the time I arrived from my own farm, all was broken bone and spattered gristle, and the bloodied corpse of his wife lay at his feet. Samel and I had not a second to consider the unspeakable occurrence before the village came alive with cries of terror for Samels children were not the only dead that walked that night.
The churchyard was emptied, generations of villagers revisiting their progeny with sinister intent. Samel and I saw each other only intermittently after that, through that long night of fighting, fleeing and hiding. The walking dead did not relent until dawn, by which time Samel and I had struck down many we had once called friends. When the sun rose, only he and I remained of a village of 68. He still held that flail in one hand. Without a word to me, he turned and walked away from it all, bloodied and without provisions, dragging the flail behind him.
I havent seen him since that dreadful morning. I have heard plenty, though, of the man that could only be Samel Grath, the man they call Flail. They say he has a knack for seeking out the walking dead, and that he fights them with a passion unknown to all but the most devout holy warriors. Last I heard he was headed for Modros, seeking to wring further knowledge of the dark arts from those stained streets and alleys. You see, I have been running since that day, running from an unseen enemy, from the undead things that failed to kill me two years ago. They will find me someday, I know, and finish the job. Flail runs too, but he does not run away. He is running towards the bones, towards the walking dead, knowing only a consuming need for knowledge about them, understanding of them, and most of all, vengeance against them.

Great idea, thanks for sharing.
Thanks excellent idea.
Great tip!
Great tip!
What a great idea!!
That is a very interesting idea and will make good use of it myself in the future. Thank you to the person who originally posted the idea and to you feffertim for trying it and responding on how it works.
I never would have thought of this, but I will definitely try it!
great idea. Going to try it on my next project.
Sounds like a lot of work to me. I use double sided scotch tape to secure the points and works most of the time.
That would be too time consuming for me. I would prefer to sew the lot and then check it. If there are any bits that need re - sewing, then you could pull those few out. Quite frankly, I rarely have to pull anything out. To repeat, I think you are making work for yourself.

Re: Let's give it up for our boy Justin Tucker
He basically has Stover's accuracy with Cundiff's power. It's nice to finally have somebody that can nail the long ones, but be reliable on a regular basis too. A kicker like Cundiff may have made more sense if the Kick-off wasn't moved to the 35 yard-line, but now that it is, pretty much anybody is good for a touchback on the majority of their kicks. It's funny to think that Cundiff set the touchback record the year BEFORE the ball was moved up to the 35.

Reuben's Brews hosts Tottenham Hotspurs and brews special British ale
On July 16 Reuben's Brews had a Tapping Ceremony in honor of the Tottenham Hotspurs coming to town to play the Sounders on July 19. For the special occasion Adam Robbings, from the U.K. and a self described "Brit,' made a British Bitter (Pale Ale) called London Calling.
Robbing's invited Tottenham Hotspurs players and ex-captain, Ledley King, to share a pint or two. Sure enough King and others were there to tap the keg. Robbings said Ledley was a "totally amazing player and a great captain."
Ledley played in professionally in the U.K. from 1998 to 2012.
"Bringing people together for a great cause with beer is brilliant idea, and it's a pleasure for me to be involved and invited down here to meet friends," said King.
"I have supported Spurs since I was four, and for the two years before I moved to the U.S. I went to almost every home game. … Given I'm a Brit, I'm obviously a soccer (football!) fan. My dad has supported Tottenham Hotspur for his whole life, and so it was only natural that I followed the family tradition. I went to most of the home
games at Tottenham before I moved to the US, so in this World Cup year hearing that Tottenham [were] playing a game against Seattle in July was really exciting! So exciting, it called for a beer to be brewed," Robbings wrote on his blog.
For the event, Reuben's collaborated with Gorilla FC and Seattle Spurs Supporters Club. A portion of the proceeds from the batch went to Street Soccer Seattle, an organization that uses soccer to help homeless individuals achieve their goals.

A HIGH-PROFILE bid by disgraced tennis coach and former Wesley College teacher Gavin Hopper to overturn his conviction on sex with a schoolgirl has been rejected.
The former physical education teacher did not appear at the hearing yesterday, when Justices Frank Vincent, Geoffrey Nettle and Robert Osborne dismissed the application in the Court of Appeal.
Last August, almost 20 years after the relationship began, Hopper was sentenced to a maximum of three-and-a-half years' jail with a non-parole period of 27 months for sexually abusing his student when she was aged 14 and 15. He has already served more than a year of the sentence.
A 12-member jury convicted Hopper, 49, on three counts of indecent assault and six of gross indecency.
Formerly of Hope Island, Queensland, Hopper was once the coach of Mark Philippoussis and Monica Seles. He denied all charges and maintained his innocence throughout the trial.
Hopper's wife, Karen, attended yesterday's hearing.
Hopper's appeal was based on 18 grounds, including that evidence of a sexual relationship between the pair after the victim turned 16 was irrelevant. But the justices yesterday ruled that the relationship's end helped explain the context in which the alleged offences occurred. "In our opinion, the whole history of the sexual relationship was relevant," the judgement said.
Hopper's lawyer, Patrick Tehan, QC, also argued there was a substantial delay between the offences and the victim's complaint. In their judgement, the justices said appropriate warnings were given to the jury.

Pretty bead shape!August 31, 2015
I have really appreciated these mood beads that have the holes large enough to use with leather cord or silk strands to create a colorful and trendy look. This particular bead has the prettiest shape, and I will enjoy making a casual and hopefully favorite piece of jewelry.

St John's Seminary is a place of formation for priesthood in the Catholic church serving dioceses in the south of England and Wales. Beyond its primary role it provides a valuable resource for the local church as a centre for theological study and a venue for meetings and retreats. The Seminary is located in Wonersh, near Guildford, Surrey.
News and events...
Fr Brian Coyle Appointed as Rector
Most Rev Peter Smith, Archbishop of Southwark, has announced the appointment of Fr Brian Coyle as Rector of St John's Seminary, Wonersh, in succession to Mgr Jeremy Garratt.
St John's Seminary was established in 1891 as the diocesan Seminary for the then Diocese of Southwark. It accepts students from several dioceses in England and also from Wales and Scotland.
Fr Brian is a priest of the Archdiocese of Southwark and is currently Director of Human Formation at Wonersh. He will take office on 4th July 2016. Mgr Jeremy Garratt will take up parish ministry in the diocese of Portsmouth in September.
Archbishop Peter said, "I am delighted that Fr Brian Coyle has accepted this very important ministry in the church. He brings a wealth of experience of priesthood, and having served at the Seminary for the last two years will already be familiar with St John's."
Mgr Jeremy said, "Under Fr Brian's leadership I am sure that St John's will have a bright future. It is very good news for the Seminary and for the church in this country."
A Sure Compass: A Symposium for the Year of Faith
The seminary year began with a very successful Symposium for the Year of Faith. The Seminary community gathered with some 50 visitors to reflect on some of the documents of the Second Vatican Council.
The first of these papers are now available on Symposium page of this website. We hope to make printed edition in 2014.
Rev Valentine Erhahon ordained deacon
On 12 January Valentine Erhahon was ordained to the diaconate at St Joseph's Church in Bromley by Bishop Patrick Lynch, auxiliary bishop in Southwark. We offer Rev Valentine our congratulations and prayers.
More Priestly Ordinations
Three more of our former Anglican students have been ordained to the priesthood recently.
Frs Nicolas von Malaise and Stuart Meyer were ordained for Southwark archdiocese in their cathedral on 19 January.
Fr John Gilbert was ordained a few weeks earlier for Plymouth diocese on the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception in Penzance.
Congratulations to all three. We pray that they will enjoy many years of fruitful and joyful ministry.
Diaconate Ordinations Dec 2012
Here are some pictures of our recent Ordinations (also noted in the post Advent 2012). Congratulations to Revv. Sam, Simon, Tom, Paul and Harry – and thanks to Bishop Kieran Conry.

Titles similar to Leaving China
The first nonfiction title in the still new Algonquin Young Readers imprint, this is a memoir of celebrated artist McMullan's early years, from age 2 to 11. His was a hopscotch childhood, thanks to WWII. Born in 1934 in Tsingtao, China, he subsequently lived in Shanghai, Canada, India, then China and Canada again and, finally, in the U.S. "My mother and I were now wanderers," he writes, "not yet attached to any particular place." His life was not always a happy story; his mother was a deep depressive who abused alcohol, and his strict, British military-officer father died in a plane wreck. Moreover, he had a self-described nervous, timid, introspective personality, but he found "much comfort in the intelligence of [his] visual surroundings," and, accordingly, his story is informed by a keen sense of place. The book consists of 54 chronologically arranged full-page illustrations, each accompanied by a facing page of text. The exquisite full-color pictures are filled with air and space, reminiscent of the Chinese scrolls that fascinated McMullan as a child. These pictures and the evocative text are a happy exercise in harmony. A fascinating, seamless portrait of a young life and the wartime world that will have appeal not only to young readers but to adults as well.

Here's a question I've been asked many times, by many different people. The words I am going to use are a paraphrase as each individual who shares their hearts with me uses their own language for their particular situations; yet the questions are often very similar when you break them down. The question is: how do I trust God when I don't know what He is going to do? There are many expressions of church and theology that attempt to tell us definitely that God will make things better if we trust … [Read more...]
Can I Trust?
Transformation and Shadow Spotting
"Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do no notice the log that is in your own eye?" Matt 7:3 NASB. Most people have read this text as being about sin and our need not to judge. Which is very true, but there are other layers of truths to be found in this text as well. What if the speck we see in another's eye is actually our own log-sized issue? Let me explain. Jesus called it a speck for a reason. I think He was creating a contrast. When we notice some "sin" or "issue … [Read more...]
Does Your God Need to Be Fired?
What if the God that you have given your life to, trusted in, and believed would bless and take care of – what if that God didn't exist?I remember in the early days of my experience in the Twelve Steps, I was asked by a long-time member what my God was like. In the Twelve Steps, they have this idea that you can have a higher power of your choosing which, of course as a minister, was marginally troubling before I understood what this belief was actually about. Anyways, this long-time member as … [Read more...]
When You Know Better, You Do Better?
There is no question that ignorance can harm us; but I'm not sure knowing better is necessarily equated to doing better. When we are ignorant of something, we simply don't know and we act in accordance. A great example is how in the first half of the 20th century doctors would recommend cigarettes to help ease their patients' nerves. And it worked! But, it also gave people cancer. Ignorance. Knowing that smoking kills has no question motivated many people to stop, but you would think if we knew c … [Read more...]
Off the Cliff of Surrender
For those of you who have been reading my writings for a while, you may have noticed that I am a proponent of the Twelve Steps. The more I surrender my life to God through them, the more I realise they are the essence of the message of Christ. March being the third month of the year, I am currently meditating on the third step quite a bit. The third step is, "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him." I have been a Christian of some kind or … [Read more...]
God Stories
God is active in every story, and as such, He is often the invisible Character. Part of being a follower of Christ is becoming more and more acutely aware that God is a part of every aspect of our lives. That God is moving, crafting us, showing us grace and mercy; that God is with us in joy and sorrows, in victories and defeats. People may doubt the claims of the Gospel, but the one thing they can't doubt and can't deny is its affects on your life. That's why your story is so important. Your st … [Read more...]
Invited to Question
I love the Bible. For some of you reading this that might seem strange; for others, you might know what I mean. But I do want to clarify. I love the Bible today for different reasons than I did even 10 years ago. Back then, I would have said I love the Bible because it reveals God's love and direction for those who follow Christ. Today, however, I love it for a different reason. And the best way I know how to express that, is that it now confirms my experience of God and invites me into the h … [Read more...]

On Cultural Necrophilia: A Christian Response
Maybe it's my age, but I take issue with the cultural necrophilia flooding the airwaves. I cringe to hear my son share his fascination with zombies.

Could the linux bug be something to do with the inventory slots not reading properly? I think the reason lies behind the slots. The inventory itself works, but there is no slots at all making you have no slots in your inventory nor in any containers. When you click a weapon or item it says your inventory is full, so if you had slots in your inventory, it wouldn't be.
This is rustling my jimmies.
Although I understand this requires a rewrite of the inventory and container system, I think something interesting to add would be a inventory system in which you are limited to the inventory of your pockets, backpack, etc all as separate inventories, and each item has a size - ie 2x2 or 3x3 or 1x2.
This could be toggleable!
Similar to Epidemic - http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=showimg&v=82350_1
Alright, one addon or another of the shit I removed did influence the CalcView, and now titles and thirdperson work properly. Pretty good stuff.
Found a bug, at least clientside, with said thirdperson, though; whenever you go from first-to-third, your head faces forwards. But if you were looking down in first and then go to third, your head goes back to facing forwards - but looking up from that, as it doesn't actually reset the angle you were facing, makes the head go beyond an angle it probably should. Hard to describe, but case in point:
Waiting for a friend in the clinic, broadwalk arcade is awesome.
hey guys, would anyone be interested in a space roleplay where the player faction is made up of europeans and asians under communist rule?
except eve is like the opposite of true communism
So.. how do we add our own weapon items to this, when I try to make my own..it shows up in the inventory but I cannot use it at all? I thought there was some kind of system that made them work for you easily.
Scroll through your weapons (1-6) and it'll be there. You can just spawn weapons from the Q menu
That's what I was describing that they don't show up in the 1-6. Does the weapon need to be in swep form on the server already? I thought this script was supposed to turn the item into a weapon for you.
I tried as much shit as I could for the linux inventory bug. Yet I had absolutely no success except for the grey bar getting the right size, but no slots were in it. Soooo, I'll just wait for a fix as all my knowledge was useless. Good luck and I hope its fixed soon!
I wanted to try this out but the first server is total shit
UI is okay but there's something wonky going on with the flashlight
Something to consider. I'd consider coding it myself, but looking at this inventory system, adding those two parameters would be extremely difficult for someone who didn't code the system in the first place.
Also, has anyone had issues with some of the eye textures not showing up?
Also, do item flags currently work?
What I mean is, I understand that each item can have flags... for example:
ITEM.Name = "Police Helmet" ITEM.Class = "helmet_police" ITEM.Description = "Head protection. Possesses an embedded breather." ITEM.Model = "models/Police.mdl" ITEM.Purchaseable = false ITEM.Unusable = true ITEM.Price = 100 ITEM.ItemGroup = 2 ITEM.IsCombine = true ITEM.Flags = { "overlay1", "headprotection0.8" } ITEM.Content = { "materials/models/police/metrocop_sheet.vmt", "models/Police.mdl" } function ITEM:Drop(ply) end function ITEM:Pickup(ply) self:Remove() end function ITEM:UseItem(ply) end
These flags - I understand that in items.lua, you have functions for determining if an item has those flags, but I can't find anywhere where they are implemented. This seems to have unlimited possibilities - the concept of toggling and overview when you put a helmet on, for example, is awesome, but I can't find anywhere the overlay flag is implemented.
Gorgeous. The only thing better would be a size based inventory.
hahahaha okay i was kind of unclear. it wasn't the hud.
Well those are just normal models, they aren't real animated world models, and I applied them with Lua :)
specifically i was asking about the model quality, but there is also a post processing effect on one of the pictures.
Are you like using the gear system to do this?
yeah you should do it, so when you wield weapons but don't hold them out, they are on your back, and when out, on your hands.
Any progress on the Linux fix?
I'm probabley being stupid or something but, My Anims.Police refuses to load the models from the Anims.Police models table in anim_tables.
Code:function meta:GetGender() model = self:GetModel() if table.HasValue( Anims.Female[ "models" ], model ) then return "Female" elseif table.HasValue( Anims.Male[ "models" ], model )then return "Male" elseif table.HasValue( Anims.Police[ "models" ], model )then return "Police" end endCode:Anims.Police = {} Anims.Police[ "models" ] = { "models/Police.mdl", "models/policn.mdl", "models/barnen.md" }
I said that wrong, I want them models to use that set of animations not the Male and female tables.
Uh, what file are you pulling this from? This isn't how that file is meant to work at all. ( I don't think )
Anim_tables.lua, I just made a new tables with anims.police and set the animations for each holdtype to the ones I want.
Any progress on the Linux bug? I don't like the lack of info, as if it's not even being addressed...
It's really hard to test for that Linux bug. I do have a Linux server, but debugging using it is just very very slow, since I have to upload new stuff, then restart the server, it's a much slower process than developing normally. Besides, it's a REALLY weird error that should really not be happening.
I'm still trying to fix it, be patient.
I have concluded that if you click any gun that is not a css wep then it will not make the item and if you remove the hl2 items for the hl2 guns then you still spawn with them and they are broken or something, it's weird.
Sorry for being impatient, it's just a very amazing gamemode, but kinda sad how you see all your friends make their own servers while you're waiting in the dust.

Syrian opposition disputes prevent decision on peace talks
By: VOA News
Source: http://www.voanews.com/content/kerry-to-jordan-for-more-syria-talks/1668575.html
Syria's main opposition coalition has held an unscheduled fourth day of meetings in Istanbul (Turkey) as internal disputes prevent it from deciding whether to join a U.S. and Russian-backed peace conference with Damascus.
Syrian National Coalition members on Sunday said the main dispute concerns whether to grant Saudi Arabia a bigger role in the group, by expanding its membership to include Saudi-backed opposition figures such as veteran dissident Michel Kilo. They said the Qatar-backed Muslim Brotherhood faction of the coalition is resisting such an expansion.
Qatar has exerted a greater influence over the Syrian opposition coalition to date, by acting as a chief contributor of money and weapons to rebels fighting a two-year rebellion against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Syrian opposition sources said that if the coalition can agree on an expanded membership, it also must decide the fate of its prime minister Ghassan Hitto, who has not been able to form a provisional government for Syria. They said resolving the leadership and membership issues would allow the coalition to respond formally to the U.S. and Russian plan for a Syrian peace conference in Geneva next month.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem said Sunday his government has agreed "in principle" to attend the proposed conference, calling it "a good opportunity to resolve the Syrian crisis."
Washington and Moscow have said they want the Assad government and the opposition to negotiate the formation of a transitional government that would lead Syria out of its civil war, which has killed more than 80,000 people.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov are due to meet in Paris Monday to discuss how to move forward with the peace conference.
Syrian government forces have been fighting to recapture the strategic rebel town of Qusair in recent days in an apparent bid to strengthen Mr. Assad's position ahead of peace talks.
An amateur video posted to the Internet Sunday showed a purported Syrian government air strike on Qusair. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said fighting in Qusair killed at least 27 rebels and three civilians on Saturday.
Syrian troops backed by Lebanese Hezbollah militants have unleashed heavy artillery and tank fire on the Sunni Muslim town near the Lebanese border. Qusair's capture would mark a significant victory for Mr. Assad because it is located along a highway linking Damascus to the Mediterranean coast, a stronghold of his minority Alawite sect.

This is pre face lift so my indicator and main unit are seperate and the indicator unit looks like the very old school style of headlights.
What do people think?
Do I get clear units so they look the same plastic as my current head lights?
Do I try and phase up the car by getting newer style lights - what's required to carry this out?
Or... something I am thinking of, getting clear style units and making them "frosted" my car is steel blue and think it would suit it quiet nicely, subtle but different.
Opinions? or any photoshoppers want to try and show the styles off for me?

DFL Rep. Tom Rukavina dropped out the race and announced his support for Margaret Anderson Kelliher. This could be a critical point in the convention as the delegates vote on the 5th ballot.
After Rukavina's endorsement, Kelliher's campaign immediately dropped this pre-produced campaign literature:
The race is now down to three candidates: Kelliher, R.T. Rybak and Paul Thissen.
Rybak's campaign manager said Rukavina and Kelliher are old colleagues at the Legislature. She said she doesn't think Rukavina's supporters will vote as a block.
UPDATE: Rukavina said he's disappointed Kelliher dropped the lit. He said he didn't authorize it.
Thissen agrees. He also said he has a stronger labor voting record than Kelliher.

Date of Stay: March, 2013
This is a pretty park with extremely nice staff/owners. All gravel pull through sites, some with beautiful tree cover. Some sites have water access that crosses the adjacent site. Fairly easy to drive through, into and out of. Do not, however, follow your GPS to this park. You will get lost (voice of experience speaking. We used apple maps and got lost the first try, then Google maps and got lost the second). To get to this park, get off of I-70 at exit 170 and turn north, taking an almost immediate left onto State Hwy TT before you get to the Sinclair station. The campground will be on your right as you drive down Hwy TT.
Date of Stay: March, 2013
Beautiful campground with lots of big live oak trees (which would definitely hamper satellite antennae access). Super friendly staff. Pull-through sites. Driving through and parking not too difficult. Small pool. No dog run. Some interstate noise because it's close to the interstate.
Date of Stay: March, 2013
Nicest bathrooms of any park, ever. Large area for dog walk, but it is unfenced. Close to the interstate, so is noisy but has fairly easy access. All gravel sites with some pull-through. Hilly but pretty. Nice little playground for kids (although truthfully we have none, and I just used it for a pull-up bar). Great Mexican restaurant called "Three Amigos" just west on the same road in case you go looking for some good grub.
Date of Stay: January, 2013
We stayed in Ocala RV Camp Resort in January of 2013 and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Should we find ourselves back in Ocala, we will certainly stay here again. Of note here are a few things, including that they have a few sites that are super long and wide. The people next to us had a trailer behind their motor home that was about 24 feet long, and they had plenty of room. The site was wide enough that they parked their car next to the RV and trailer. The down side to these long sites is that there is a fair amount of noise from a fenced area that I think must have a transformer behind it, because buzzed like crazy. Also, this resort is fairly close to the interstate too, so that creates a lot of noise. They do have a dog run too, although it is a little small.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
We stayed at this park because it is close to my childhood home and it allowed me to have easy access to family. We had to travel at the last minute and were able to follow the clear instructions to hook up at 1am. The biggest down side here, is that I think that they like to let the locals use the pool. So it is packed, especially on weekends and holidays.

County has applicants for vacant positions
By DOTTY NIST
Walton County received four applications for its newly-created land use attorney position, according to Mark Davis, interim county attorney.
The application deadline for the position was April 24. Davis said he, Walton County Planning and Development Services Director Wayne Dyess, and Walton County Planning Manager Mac Carpenter would be reviewing the applications and making a recommendation to the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) regarding the hiring of a land use attorney.
Applicants for the position include Ken Goldberg, Bryant Olive & Miller, and Nabors Giblin & Nickerson, all based in Tallahassee, along with Lois LaSeur of Santa Rosa Beach.
According to the job description included in the advertisement for the position, the land use attorney's primary practice areas will be "representing and advising the Walton County Planning Department, Code Enforcement Department and other land use staffs regarding land use issues and development applications in Walton County."
Davis said that the land use attorney position would be a contract position, at least initially, in order to see how the new position works out.
In response to an information request, Walton County Public Information Manager Louis Svehla relayed details from Walton County Human Resources on applicants to be interviewed for the vacant Walton County Public Works Director position. Human resources is serving as hiring authority for this position, according to Svehla.
Of the eight public works director candidates to be interviewed are several existing Walton County Public Works staff members. One of those is Wilmer C. Stafford, operations manager for public works administration, who is currently serving as interim public works director. Gregory H.

Other public works director interviewees include Hector D. Castro of Pensacola, Chris E. Davezac of Zachary, La., Ramon D. Gavarrete of Sebring, and Robert B. Zaitooni of Orlando. Human resources did not provide the name of an additional person to be interviewed, place of residence DeFuniak Springs, stating that this information was exempt from disclosure based on Florida Statute 119.071.
As of May 2, no interview date(s) had been scheduled for the public works director interviewees. Svehla said a committee would be formed to interview the applicants and make a recommendation to the county administrator, who would make a selection. Gerry Demers is currently serving as interim county administrator.
Regarding the vacant South Walton Tourist Development Council (TDC) director position, on May 2 Svehla reported that eight candidates had confirmed that they would be interviewing for the position. These candidates are: Douglas C. Traub, Lake Havasu City, Ariz.; Robert L. Warren, DeFuniak Springs; James "Jim" Bagby, Destin; Yan Baczkowski, Miami; Dennis A. Tracy, Jacksonville; Jessica L.

Tatiana Totmianina is absolutely correct -- a polite handshake of Ms Zhang is all that was required at the podium. BRAVA, Tanya!!! YOU & MAX ARE THE OLYMPIC CHAMPS, despite being barely able to warm-up because of the Zhangs' intimidating tactics! URRAHH!!!!
Little Miss Zhang should learn to be more gracious and sportsmanlike on the warm-up ice.
SHAME to NBC for minimizing this incident. This is the first time in recent memory that the network covering Olympics has chosen to not show the warm-up of the final group of skater....Very interesting, ehhh???? Ditto --- SHAME to NBC for chosing to not report on Obertas/Slavnov's skate & its incorrect marking by the judges (in relation to Zagorska/Siudek's fabulous skate, which earned lower marks). NBC has a case of 'selective reporting.' More important to show replays of Flying Tomato or repeats of boring fluffs. :chorus:

The primary focus my research in recent years has been the application of genetics to species of conservation concern. This has included endangered species, candidate species for listing as endangered, and species impacted by hybridization and invasive species. Some examples of these species include the endangered Topeka shiner, American bison, American Dipper, smooth green snake and mountain goat.
I also have an interest in the molecular genetics and evolution of the prion gene (PRNP). I am especially interested the application of an evolutionary paradigm to understanding the prion diseases (transmissible spongiform encephalopathies). I am particularly interested in the genetics of resistance to TSE and cross-species transmission of prions.
I have worked in the CCBR/WestCore lab for a total of eight years, three as a student, and five as an employee. I work on a wide range of projects including but not limited to DUSEL projects, wildlife forensics, undergraduate and graduate student training.
I have worked in the CCBR/WestCore lab for three years, and have worked on several projects including knotweed identification, "Metagenomics DUSEL" and "Fungi and Silver" projects.
In addition to my regular duties, I have established and maintain Freezerworks, the lab information management system used for cataloging and long-term storage of biological samples.

In going back over Mr. Shely's columns in the four or five papers it took to run his places in Anderson County information, one was inadvertently left out. The columns ran in 1972.
Shely was a teacher and resident historian.
JOHNSONVILLE — Located 18 miles west of Lawrenceburg on U.S. 62. It was named for the first settler, David Johnson, who built a log house there about 1835. A post office was started in 1854 and the community was incorporated in 1856.
Feb. 22, 1962
Football season is over, but the Band of Brothers, as a service organization, isn't finished when it comes to helping out its community.
The Band of Brothers collected garbage for five hours along five miles of US 62 on Jan. 29, receiving $100 per mile through a county grant.
Now the group will use the $500 they earned to send care packages to U.S. soldiers serving in Afghanistan.
The Anderson County Extension Service has scheduled private applicator pesticide training sessions on March 8 at 1:30 p.m., and on April 10 at 6:30 p.m.
All sessions will be held at the Extension Office at 1026 County Park Road.
According to the Extension's release, "By law anyone using chemicals classified as 'restricted use' must have a valid private applicator certification card. The only way to keep this card current is to attend pesticide update training on proper use and handling."
The monthly meeting of the Anderson County historical society will be held Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. at the Anderson Public Library. This month's speaker, George Geoghegan, will discuss "An Architectural History of Lawrenceburg." This meeting is free and open to the public.
Anderson County residents include at least 70 children who are military dependents from all branches of the military.
Frequent deployments have become a way of life in the past 10 years. Returning home is not necessarily easy for the families or military personnel.
Community members can help military families by understanding that no one reacts the same to coming home. Rejoice together at reunions and give families time and space to re-integrate.
Mark your calendars. The Heirloom Seed Workshop will be held at 10 a.m. on March 24 at the public library's large meeting room.
Pre-registration is required (to make sure everyone gets a chair). You can call the library at 839-6420 or stop in to register. It is a free workshop.

WOW what a difference a day makes!!!! From one extreme to another ! The drive from Jakarta to Bungu Ayu would have to be the wildest ride we have ever had , and we were stone cold sober !

The twisty mountain road does have a very comfortable gradient on the Bogor side. And with the right machine for company, this can be absolute fun. Gunning the motorcycle for over three quarters of an hour, I started the descent on the Kota Sukubumi side. The road here was absolutely gorgeous as far as the surface goes; for the gradient, absolute nightmare! I won't say that the road was bad or the machine wasn't equipped enough; ...
The "Tanah Lot" of West Java
If you go to Ujung Genteng, West Java, Indonesia, before hitting the turtle beach, look for Amanda Resorts on the left side of the road just in the middle of the coconut plantation. Walk through the plantation and you will find the "Tanah Lot" of West Java ...
A trip that fed my soul
... more time we spent there, the more we got the feel for it. The parking lot is not your regular parking lot and cafes aren't your regular cafes. In these little shacks people spend their lives. This is where the eat and drink, sleep and make babies, hang their clothes to dry on roofs and in the middle of the parking lot and only then they run their businesses.
As we were sitting there, the wooden platform I thought the place was built on started trembling ...

I think my activities will be more of the same until I make the 4.5 journey back to Bogor for my budha training! I will send an update if I can before then.
I hope this finds you all in good ...

Comments about Gibraltar Felt Bass Drum Beater:
I like the weight and that it's almost as hard and punchy as a wood beater, but not as wet slap sounding. And if you do a lot of toe, heal toe, or muting, most of these style beaters tend to wear out heads quicker. I like this one and the Yamaha ones. Glad they make them with hardened steel now. I've actually broken the other ones.
Comments about Gibraltar Felt Bass Drum Beater:
Gibraltar it's a great brand of hardware, BUT this beater is to heavy, the " felt" it's like a hammer and breaks your bass heads ( aquarian super kick 2 )in a week. Try other ones.

Where I stayed
Brno is the 2nd largest city in Czech Republic with about 250,000 people. Today we will take a tour of the city.
In case you are wondering why I have posted pictures of plants . . . The abbey was where Gregor Mendel (who was an abbot) did his work with plants and genetics. These are pictures of the garden where he actually planted his peas which he studied. There is a Mendel Museum attached to the Abbey. There were not photos allowed in the basilica.
Group dynamics are really starting to take shape. There are some definite personality conflicts on the horizon. Arrive at the hotel to find some rooms had only one king bed and some had to share, others had two twins, and then there were 2 extra single rooms. Wow, did this cause an issue. Well, today we (my roommate and I got moved into a two bed room). The next three weeks should be interesing. i'm still just going with the flow and have tried not to annoy anyone too much -- avoiding the cliques, etc. We will see how much longer i can be "nice".
Hang in there. If someone can't get along with you, they can't get along with anyone! You're one of the most accepting someone for who they are people. If things get to the pont where YOU can't be "nice", then just stand up for what you believe:-)! Even Jesus kicked the hypocrites out of the temple!

Yen approaches one-month peak
On Wednesday, the Japanese yen flirted with one-month peaks, reviving from losses following Tuesday's American presidential debate, and the common currency retreated on worries over the health of the European financial system.
The euro sank to $1.1218 from Monday's peak of $1.1280 as stock prices in Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest lender, descended to a record minimum on worries regarding a $14 billion demand from the US Department of Justice.
It also hurt broad risk sentiment, thus assisting to back the yen, often tending soar at a time of economic stress.
The evergreen buck traded at 100.41 yen, having fallen from Tuesday's peak of 100.99 and holding close to one-month minimum of 100.085 also hit on Tuesday.
A drop below that value and below psychological support at 100, could bless the way for greenback/yen to test support at 99, a minimum marked in the aftermath of Britain's Brexit vote.
Shinichiro Kadota, chief FX strategist at Barclays told that the greenback looks likely to be backed above 100 for now, but he added that he didn't see quick revenues.

Kicking off his week with a swanky evening out, T.I. was spotted at a screening of "Takers" in Washington D.C. last night (August 9).
The newlywed rapper looked to be in good spirits as he arrived at the Georgetown AMC Theaters along with stars like Idris Elba and Chucky Thompson.
As for his wedding to Tameka "Tiny" Cottle late last month, T.I. is keeping things private when it comes to talking to the press.
He explained, "You know me, man. I try to keep everything personal, personal. I will say this- I'm happy."

India Republic Day boycott call
Separatist rebel groups in north-east India have called for a boycott of the country's forthcoming Republic Day celebrations.
In a joint statement, 14 groups said they were determined to disrupt the celebrations at all costs and have called for a general strike.
"To all the people of our region, this [Republic Day] is an event that symbolises their colonial bondage under repressive Indian occupation," the statement said.
"We call upon the people to prevent any such celebration from being held."
However, essential services such as hospitals and printing presses would be exempted from the day-long strike.
The BBC correspondent in the region says rebels boycott celebrations every year, but this is the first time that all seven states in the region are participating in the strike.
Our correspondent says one rebel group in West Bengal has also supported the strike call.
Security forces across the region have been put on alert, amid fears that militants may attack vital installations ahead of Republic Day, 26 January.
In another development, police have arrested six Kashmiri rebels suspected of planning bombings and other attacks in the run-up to Republic Day.
Ashok Bhan, the Kashmir police chief, said four members of the pro-Pakistan Jamiat-ul-Mujahideen group had been arrested in Srinagar, and two others in Calcutta.
Mr Bhan said the group was behind a number of recent explosions in Srinagar, and those arrested had confessed to plotting bomb attacks to target political leaders and senior officials.

To advance the state of the art of engineering design, we introduce a new concept on the "robustness" of a structure by measuring its ability to sustain a sudden loss of a part without causing an immediate collapse. The concept is based on the premise that most structures have built-in redundancy such that when the loss of a single part leads to a load redistribution, the "crippled" structure tends to seek a new stability configuration without immediate collapse. This nice property of a "robust" structure, when coupled with a continuous or periodic inspection program using nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques, is useful in failure prevention, because such structure is expected to display "measurable" signs of "weakening" long before the onset of catastrophic failure. To quantify this "robustness" concept, we use a large number of simulations to develop a metric to be named the "Robustness Index (RBI)." To illustrate its application, we present two examples: (1) the design of a simple square grillage in support of a water tank, and (2) a 1/12-scale model of the recently collapsed Minnesota bridge. The first example is a "toy" problem, which turned out to be a good vehicle to test the feasibility of the RBI concept. The second example is based on news reports and a 1964 construction drawing of the collapsed bridge available to the public through the internet. It is not a case study for failure analysis, but a useful classroom exercise in an engineering design course. Significance and limitations of this new approach to catastrophic failure avoidance through "robust" design, are discussed.

RE: st: RE: Goodness of fit measure akin to R-squared for 0-constant or noconstant
Fri, 24 Apr 2009 13:16:15 -0400
The problem is that the definition of Rsquared in regression thru the origin is not remotely clear because the reference model is changes from var(Y), i.e., variance of the DV with no regressors to E(Y^2), the uncorrected expected value of squared DV. Regression thru the origin is a fundamentally different model than ordinary regression regardless of the intercept's value in the latter.
In a sense a way to think about it is to note that in ordinary regression the intercept might happen to be 0 just due to the way you coded the independent variables but in regression thru the origin, you state that it is. This is a VERY strong assumption, and it changes the measurment level of your variables in a way you might not expect. You force the DV to be on a ratio level of measurement. Similarly when you have a ratio level relationship fitting an intercept destroys that, which is why ratio agreement measures exist in addition to Pearson correlation. See the article by F. Zegers and J. Ten Berge. A family of chance corrected association coefficients for metric scales. Psychometrika, December, 1986.
I would simply leave the nonsignificant intercept in and, as Nick suggested, be very wary of removing outliers, too.

Ow, I understand both points made, and I agree that a country could
perfectly have demand with a still standing standing economy. The
economic ground is that jewellery is supposedly a luxury good, making
people spend as much on it as they are able given other constraints,
i.e. food etc. If you have less GDP growth, you should therefore also
have less jewellery demand growth. Well, the point you made Martin,
shows a very interesting aspect of India, which is its incredibly
strong class society. The top class, which apparently makes up almost
all jewellery demand appears unaffected by the state of the economy.
Not in any other analysed country was this the case. Because of
simplification, and simply because my boss would not understand / want
this sophistication (also because of time constraints), I decided that
having a 0 intercept would be better justifiable and this was backed
up by the fact that the intercept had become insignificant after
removing some outliers. Also the resulting forecast fitted better with
my boss' expectations - as you might have guessed I am not exactly in
an academic environment at the moment. So I'm sorry if some things
appear illogical, but I have to work under some constraints. Well, the
only thing I'd really wanted was to calculate an R-squared for this
thing, so I'd be done with it. I think I have found my solution in
Kvalseths method, and I made it work (as far as I understand) with a
GLS regression as well by adjusting the OLS regression with the rho
from the stata output (though I had to calculate it manually in

LONDON, Sept. 8. -- The stock markets continue to make up in cheerfulness what they lack in activity, although there are definite signs that the holiday inertia is lifting. The few industrial reports that have appeared are encouraging, and the upheaval in exchanges and the fluctuations in the price of gold, although somewhat distracting, have caused no real uneasiness here.

The author of the internationally bestselling Eat Right 4 Your Type again breaks new ground with the first diet plan based on your unique genetic code.
With Eat Right 4 Your Type and additional books in the Blood Type Diet series, Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo pioneered a new, revolutionary approach to dieting—one linked to a person's blood type. In The GenoType Diet, he takes his groundbreaking research to the next level by identifying six unique genetic types. Whether you are a Hunter, Gatherer, Teacher, Explorer, Warrior, or Nomad, Dr. D'Adamo offers a customized program that compliments your genetic makeup to maximize health and weight loss, as well as to prevent or even reverse disease. In simple, concise prose, Dr. D'Adamo explains how a host of environmental factors, including diet and lifestyle, dictate how and when your genes express themselves. He goes on to demonstrate precisely how, with the right tools, you can alter your genetic destiny by turning on the good genes and shutting down the bad ones . Your health risks, weight, and life span can all be improved by following the GenoType diet that's right for you.
Using family history and blood type, as well as simple diagnostic tools like fingerprint analysis, leg length measurements, and dental characteristics, Dr. D'Adamo shows you how to map out your genetic identity and discover which of the six GenoType plans you should follow. Without expensive tests or a visit to the doctor, The GenoType Diet reveals previously hidden genetic strengths and weaknesses and provides a precise diet and lifestyle plan for every individual. Based on the latest and most cutting-edge genetic research, this is a twenty-first-century plan for wellness and weight loss from a renowned healthcare pioneer.

Most likely if there is a big city with a tournament, then there shall be players there.
Even smaller towns have an active Pokemon league in certain areas near me such as:
Crawley and Aldershot. The bigger cities such as Southampton and London defiantly have active leagues/premier events so I would not be surprised if Manchester has an active Pokemon TCG community.
In terms of learning the game there are many resources available. If you're looking to watch good tournament play, than
"The top cut"
is a good youtube channel showing various deck profiles and battles.
They are a group of american players who are considered Worlds competitors so you can't really get better than that.
The official Pokemon trading card game website will have resources to show you have to play the game such as tutorials etc.
If you're looking for buying packs/booster packs than Boundaries crossed is one of the best sets to buy due to having good overall EX Pokemon and decent Ace-specs.
The new set plasma storm has good Ace Specs but the EXs are fairly limited. The plasma storm set is mainly the new supporters/trainer items in the set which make the set worthwhile. Also if you plan to construct the new poison style deck with Crobat then it could be a worthwhile investment. Lugia EX could also be a viable attacker but we are yet to see what impact plasma storm will have on the game.
The Pokemon tins with Darkrai EX, Mewtwo EX and Rayquaza EX are a best place to start when it comes to buying packs as you get an EX which is worth half of the RRP of the tin alone ! They are great value for money and all of the EXs are seeing tournament play.
Mewtwo EX is a very universal attacker and it's seen in majority of decks.
Most tournaments are going on this weekend such as the ECC (European challenge cup) which is classed/considered as a "European Worlds" but plasma storm is not legal for that event and I have a city championship on Sunday which will be technically the first event with legal plasma storm cards. I have no new cards, so I shall have to make do since it's too short notice to get most of the new supporter/item cards in time.
The current top tier decks are:
Blastoise/Keldeo EX/Mewtwo EX
Mewtwo EX /Ho-oh EX with various attackers
Darkrai EX Variants such as Hammer time, Darkrai EX/Mewtwo EX, Darkrai EX with various fighting attackers such as Terrakion/Landorus EX
But it may change once plasma storm has a few months of legality and settles into the current format.
