In Safari you do not have to manually save a URL for Snapback:

TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime Method (DateTimeOffset, TimeZoneInfo)
Converts a time to the time in a particular time zone.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public static DateTimeOffset ConvertTime( DateTimeOffset dateTimeOffset, TimeZoneInfo destinationTimeZone )
- dateTimeOffset
- Type: System.DateTimeOffset
The date and time to convert.
- destinationTimeZone
- Type: System.TimeZoneInfo
The time zone to convert dateTime to. It must be either TimeZoneInfo.Local or TimeZoneInfo.Utc.
Return ValueType: System.DateTimeOffset
A DateTimeOffset value that represents the date and time in the destination time zone.
The value of the destinationTimeZone parameter is null.
When performing the conversion, the ConvertTime(DateTimeOffset, TimeZoneInfo) method applies any adjustment rules in effect in the destinationTimeZone time zone.
This overload differs from the other overloads of the ConvertTime method by accepting a DateTimeOffset value as its first parameter. This identifies the date and time as an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) rather than as the date and time in a particular time zone. As a result, the dateTimeOffset parameter cannot represent either an ambiguous time or an invalid time.
In converting the dateTimeOffset value to the time in the destination time zone, this method takes into account any adjustment rules in effect in the destination time zone.
If the conversion of dateTimeOffset results in a date and time value that is earlier than DateTimeOffset.MinValue or later than DateTimeOffset.MaxValue, this method returns DateTimeOffset.MinValue or DateTimeOffset.MaxValue, respectively.
Version Notes
XNA FrameworkWhen this method is used in the XNA Framework, it throws a NotSupportedException exception.

E5 fuel consultation
This News Article follows a consultation request from the UK Government.(The NAWCP are now on the Governments list of organisations to be consulted on anything related to the wedding industry or transport)
Ethanol in Petrol – Background for NAWCP Members
Currently, most petrol stations in the UK offer two petrol grades: standard unleaded (known as premium), which represents 95% of sales and super unleaded. Both standard and super petrol grades currently marketed in the UK may contain up to 5% ethanol (known as E5). Most certainly, evidence indicates that all premium fuel offered for sale contains up to 5% ethanol, however, it may be that some suppliers, although able to do so, do not currently add any ethanol to the super grades of petrol.
However, with effect from March this year (2013) the EU regulation regarding the blend of 5% ethanol to standard fuel as the limit changed to allow up to 10% (known as E10) as the top limit (NB. for standard fuel only). Nevertheless, the government advises that for the time being there are no plans by the UK suppliers to introduce E10 on a large scale in the immediate future. Therefore unleaded standard E5 is expected to remain widely available. Nevertheless, it must be remembered that the roll-out of standard fuel E10 is a commercial decision and it may be that in certain areas E10 will replace the current standard E5 grade.
Currently, the increased limit of 10% ethanol blend for super fuel will not apply until January 2014. Consequently, to ensure that for the next 3 years some E5 fuel remains available in the UK, the government is proposing to extend the current legal requirement of a maximum of 5% blend for super fuel until January 2017, after which it is assumed by the government that E10 will be compatible with the majority of petrol vehicles in the UK.
The actual government proposal states:
"We propose to extend the existing requirement that the ethanol content of super unleaded petrol sold at a filling station to be no more than 5% by volume until 1st January 2017. This requirement only applies to filling stations that have supplied not less than 3 million litres of fuel (petrol and diesel) in the previous year."
Of interest is the last sentence (put into italics for convenience) which seems to suggest that there will be some smaller filling stations in the UK that will not need to comply with this extended regulation after January 2014! This is a concern.
The government has promulgated a Consultation document for public comment; it can be seen at: www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/232125/consultation-document.pdf
Comments on the government proposal are required by 27 September 2013. It is realised that this does not give us much opportunity to obtain thoughts and feedback from our members regarding this proposal; consequently, we offer for your comment (by latest 'close of play' on 22 September 2013) the following draft NAWCP response to the government's proposal. Please do feel free to send your comments, supporting the draft or otherwise as soon as possible:
○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
The Proposed NAWCP Response to the Consultation Paper on the Proposed Amendment to the Motor Fuel Composition and Content Regulations 1999
1. Background
1.1 The National Association of Wedding Car Professionals (NAWCP) represents 155 (and growing) wedding car businesses on a UK national basis. The vast majority of UK wedding car businesses operate vintage, classic and older specialist vehicles which, in simplistic terms, have engines that were originally designed for lower grade petrol with lead as the only regular additive. Many of the vintage, classic and specialist vehicles have since been converted to lead-free petrol or use an additive to replace the lead and as a consequence can run successfully with little further trouble. However, since the addition of ethanol in petrol, engine and fuel supply problems can and do occur, causing additional expense and lost business time. Furthermore, while the NAWCP represents wedding car businesses, the issued discussed in the submission are just as relevant to private owners of vintage, classic and specialist vehicles.
2. Vehicle Problems and Environmental Effect
2.1 The NAWCP recognises that ethanol may have the virtue of being a renewable energy source, which, is a good thing if the engine using the fuel with ethanol added is specifically designed to use such fuel, but is not such a good thing if the engine was originally designed for non-ethanol fuel; principally, because of the corrosive nature of ethanol and its ability to absorb moisture and it is the corrosive nature and water absorbency that causes so many problems for vintage, classic and older specialist vehicles. The science behind ethanol blended petrol and its indifferent nature to older engines is well documented so it will not be repeated here, however, suffice to say that even E5 fuel can cause considerable problems over the longer period having a significant impact on the health and safety of us all. Consider for example the increase in risk to the public of fuel leaks due to ethanol induced corrosion of (older style) fuel lines and tanks. The more rapid deterioration of fuel pipes (and tank seals in vintage cars where the fuel tank is in the engine compartment) could easily result in petrol being sprayed onto a hot engine component such as the exhaust manifold or engine block. Furthermore, engine malfunctions caused by incorrect metering of fuel due to ethanol in the petrol may increase the production of oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust fumes. While modification to vintage, classic and specialist vehicles can sometimes be done, they are expensive and not always conclusive in the longer term.
2.2 Clearly, new vehicles will have a lower 'carbon footprint' (after they are built) than older cars, however, arguably, the largest carbon foot print a vehicle makes is during its construction. Prematurely removing older vehicles from the road sounds attractive, but a well maintained older vehicle, as is the case with our member's vehicles, will have a far lower detrimental effect on the environment than replacing it with a new vehicle. Similarly, having to manufacture replacement, ethanol friendly, components for the older vehicles due the ravages of ethanol will also increase carbon emissions, which is the exact opposite of the intend goal of adding ethanol to petrol. The eventual move, after January 2017, to allow up to E10 for all fuels will only exacerbate the problem in the long term.
3. Additional Problems
3.1 All that said, there can be no doubt that the singular move to extend the availability of E5 fuel, albeit super fuel and consequently considerably more expensive, until January 2017 has some degree of merit, but the proposal limits this availability to: "filling stations that have supplied not less than 3 million litres of fuel (petrol and diesel) in the previous year." Surely, this limitation will cause the problems previously mentioned to be prevalent amongst the older car fraternity living away from the main centres far sooner than January 2017? It is not believed that this is what the government wishes, as once again, it is the exact opposite of the intended goal of adding ethanol to petrol. Fortunately, it is understood that some fuel supply companies are able to dispense zero ethanol fuel; blending ethanol with the petrol is the final process for the fuel supplier. It is our understanding that ethanol is added only when the fuel is in the tanker ready to be delivered because if added sooner the ethanol would 'attack' the storage tanks in the fuel depot, and it is for this same reason that ethanol cannot be transferred along pipelines. Consequently, it can unquestionably be a practicable option for zero E rated fuel to be made available to the consumer if legislation so dictated.
- Conclusion and Additional Proposals
4.1 In sum, the government proposal, while a temporary solution for just part of the problem, has our limited support, but it does not solve the basic and original vehicular and environmental problems created by the addition of any amount of ethanol in petrol. Consequently, while having to support the basis of the proposed legislation we would also strongly urge the government to consider the following additional measures alongside the title proposal:
4.2 It is proposed that the government does:
- Not limit the extension of the regulation to only those filling stations that have supplied not less than 3 million litres of fuel (petrol and diesel) in the previous year."
4.3 It is further propose that additional legislation be put in place to:
- Allow fuel companies to supply or continue to supply an amount of ethanol free fuel for the foreseeable future.
- Ensure that all fuel pumps are clearly marked to indicate the ethanol content of the fuel dispensed.
- Ensure that information regarding the effects of ethanol in petrol be freely available via a government website so that individuals and business can put in place a strategy to counter the effect of ethanol in older cars.
It is important that if you wish to comment or suggest amendments to the above you do so before 22nd September so we have time to update and file the NAWCP's submission. You can of course submit your own comments directly at email@example.com or write to:Michael Wright,
Department for Transport,
Zone 1/32,
Great Minster House,
76 Marsham Street,
You may comment below and all received prior to 22nd September will be considered before we submit our final response. (Note all comments are moderated and frivolous, facetious or those considered insulting or inappropriate will not be published).
Needless to say we will publish the final response if amended from the above.

There is a limitless number of psychic symbols. You can choose almost anything, but eventually you should use only one. This has been summed up very beautifully as follows: "All the visible universe is the Buddha (consciousness); so are all sounds. Hold on to one principle (one symbol) and all others are identical." (Huang Po)
Anything can be used as a point of concentration .. . a deity, a mantra, a yantra, chakra, saint, yogi, your guru, a flower . . . even your little finger. You can use absolutely anything that captures your whole attention. All these symbols lead to the same point. Ramakrishna, the great bhakta (devotee) even experimented with different symbols. He practised continuous awareness of Shakti, then Christ and so forth. He emphasized that they lead to the same experience and realization. Any symbol can be used, but there must be continuous awareness.
Certain psychic symbols, however, have been used for hundreds and thousands of years. They have been intimately associated with and utilized by religious and mystical groups. As such they have been invested with power. They have been firmly impressed on the collective unconscious mind, thus they have great inherent power to awaken changes in one's level of awareness. Some of these symbols are as follows: shivalingam2, the mantra and symbol Aum3, a cross, yin and yang symbol4, a lotus, a rose and so on5. Though you can use anything as a psychic symbol a traditional symbol is highly recommended.
The biggest problem is choosing a symbol that suits your nature, a symbol that you can spontaneously identify with. If you already have a symbol, perhaps an ishta (personal deity), then there is no problem. If you do not have any specific symbol then you will obtain it in either of two ways:
- You will receive it from your guru either in formal diksha (initiation) or at a more subtle level.
- It will spontaneously manifest itself when your perception and sensitivity become heightened. That is, you will get your psychic symbol when you are sufficiently receptive and ready.
In the second case you have to practise yoga, aspire, purify your mind and wait for the symbol to manifest itself. One thing is certain: when your symbol arises from your psyche and shows itself to you, there will be an explosion in your being. There will be no doubt about the identity of the symbol. It will overwhelm you. It may be a symbol that is widely known and utilized or maybe not; an integral part of the traditions of the society in which
you live or something that seems completely alien … it does not matter. That symbol which explodes into your field of perception is your symbol. It will be the boat which will ferry you across the wide and normally impassable river of unconsciousness. It is the form that will convey your perception deeper into your being, into the deepest dimensions of your consciousness.

Men's Intention: Stable & Grounded
Yellow Tiger Eye, Onyx, and Hematite
Golden Tigers Eye is the most grounding. stable, steadfast stone of all. Think of the term "Solid as a Rock". What does that imply? A man of your word. A man who can be trusted. A man you can count on. The kind of man who's handshake makes a statement.
Tiger's Eye promotes balance and strength to get through difficult phases of life; relieves doubt and bestows decision making with vision and clarity. Helps one to be practical in the here and now.
Hematite is a calming stone, but also offers support for your hopes, dreams, wishes and desires, by encouraging you to "reach for the sun". Hematite reminds you that the only limitations that exist are those that you place upon yourself. It helps to balance out the emotions and energies between the body, mind and spirit. Not only does it dissolve negativity, but actually transforms it into the energy of Universal Love.
What are Men's Healing Intention Necklaces? Tools and Symbols that help you focus on what you want more of in your life. Its not voo-doo, or magic, or even mystical. It's just a simple Universal Principle. Whatever you give your attention to will always grow, and whatever you neglect or turn away from will always fade away. Wear your Crystal Healing Necklace to help you stay focused on your true intentions!

Do not learn the elements of controlled buys and other legally intricate matters. It is not productive. Rely on an experienced criminal counsel who should fight for your freedom. It beats reading law books in a jail library after.

Again, not your state, and this seems like a perfectly reasonable question, but no WA lawyer can answer because 3 lawyers replied with no useful information whatsoever.
Warrants are complicated matters with lots of nuance. As a general rule, a warrant must be supported by probable cause and describe the place to be searched and the persons (or things) to be seized with particularity.
Nothing in your post gives rise to a challenge about the validity of the will. STRONGLY recommend you hire a criminal defense attorney and after going over ALL the facts it may be that attorney can find something you CAN hang your hat on. Best of luck to you.
NOT LEGAL ADVICE. FOR EDUCATION AND INFORMATION ONLY. Mr. Rafter is licensed to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the US Federal Courts in Virginia. His answers to any Avvo question are rooted in general legal principles--NOT your specific state laws. There is no implied or actual attorney-client relationship arising from this education exchange. You should speak with an attorney licensed in your state, to whom you have provided all the facts before you take steps that may impact your legal rights. Mr. Rafter is under no obligation to answer subsequent emails or phone calls related to this matter.Ask a similar question
that should have read 'warrant' not 'will'. Just finished reviewing a will----my bad.
Warrants are nuanced and the law controlling their issuance often hinges on matters of state law. In this case, the State of Washington.
Good point. FYI, nothing prevents you from answering the asker.
Normally, the term "controlled buy" refers to a situation where an informant is searched before the buy, has no money, is given a set amount of money, enters the location, comes back, turns over what he has acquired and/or any money, and is then searched again. If he goes in without drugs, but comes out with drugs, that would show probable cause to believe drugs can be found at that location. It would not lose its status as a controlled buy if the informant steals something, or comes out with actual gifts, or spends less than anticipated. As long as he exits the location with something illegal he did not have when he went in, that would be enough for a search warrant for the location, provided that the search warrant is acquired in a timely way. If only 1 or 2 days have passed between the buy and the warrant, that is timely enough. A complex question arises when the period of time is longer, and different courts might reach different results.

Got your e-mails. While I believe lawyers from out of state should not answer questions from here, I acknowledge that you have provided an accurate general
descriptions of "controlled buys". But Ivaknenko's comment to the question from a potential client from my town was offensive. He will never represent him. So why treat him with contempt? By the way he posted an answer to another Washington question which simply was wrong. Do you know this guy? Or were you just standing up for him? I will contact the WSBA about his cavalier answers. Lo
Never met Ivakhnenko. I believe it is reasonable for him to advise questioner not to represent himself, but to get experienced counsel instead. I agree he could have been a bit more polite. Thank you for agreeing with my answer. I am unfamiliar with the other answer he gave that you refer to, however, I would trust you over him as to a matter in Washington state. You should post a reply to his other answer to correct any false or unwarranted statements he may have made.
Somebody asked about the possibility of expunging a conviction for an A felony. Can't be done in WA. He sort of parrotted some other poster who said it's probably not timely, because he is either just guessing, or falls back on "you need to consult with a lawyer". I don't want that kind of half-assed nonsense be read by the masses as legal advice. Apparently the quickest answer a lawyer posts nets the most points so our friend from Chicago tops the leaderboard! AVVO really diminishes our profession James. I believe that. Mark Sorry again about the snarky comment earlier. I was pissed, but not at you. T-Mobile. America's First Nationwide 4G Network
First warrants here in Snohomish County are approved on very thin evidence, often by affidavit given over the phone. If the warrant is otherwise valid, any evidence seized will be admissible, except in very rare situations such as the discovery the applying for the warrant intentionally misled the court issuing the warrant.
As for police reports leaving out critical information that could help your case, it happens all the time.
As for the first answer given by a lawyer from Chicago, I found it arrogant, condescending, and violation, in spirit, if not in fact, of Washington Rules of Professional conduct, as he is not licensed to practice law in Washington. If there was anything resembling advice I would consider filing a complaint. I believe one of the most important aspects of my job is to answer any question a client has, and demistify the criminal justice systemvas it operates here in Everett, Washington, where I live and have practiced criminal defense for 17 years.
I urge this gentleman to remove the post. It demeans the questioner and reflects badly on my local bar, and the profession as a whole.
As for the police reorts
I am licensed in Washington. I only practice law in this state. I limit my practice, and my answers on this site, to criminal matters in Washington state, and local questions from the courts north of Seattle where I practice. Any advice is provided for informational purposes, and does not form an attorney-client relationship. Any answers provided by lawyers not licensed to practice law in Washington, purporting to answer questions of Washington state law or the practice of the courts of this state, are probably either too general to be helpful, or unethical under Rules of Professional Conduct in this state. Please contact a local, experienced criminal defense lawyer practicing in the community where your question arises.Ask a similar question
Many typos, but an officer who misleads can sometimes nullify a warrant.
The CI is searched prior to the controlled buy and given marked money. The CI makes the buy after being searched for drugs and cash then purchases from the intended target. If, protocol is followed it is most likely valid. Any variance then it's shady and may be suppressed.Ask a similar question

Dekalb County law enforcement agents reported several arrests over the March 17 weekend.

This is still an ongoing investigation, according to a press release from Dekalb County Sheriff Jimmy Harris.

Michael Anthony Wooten, 30, of Fyffe was arrested for three counts of rape in the second degree, three counts of Sodomy in the second degree, interference with Child Custody and Sorna Violation. Daniel David Wooten, 51, of Fyffe, was also arrested and charged with rape in the second degree and interference with child custody, Sheriff Harris said.
