Firstly back up you Skyrim install. Saves a tonne of time if you get yourself in a mess.
Secondly start the game up before installing any mods and make a couple of vanilla saves. Generally you get the opportunity to do this in Helgen just before the Imperials start speaking to you and you hit the character creation screen. It's always useful to have a vanilla save to fall back to if you find you're getting CTDs when trying to load up a modded save file. Skyrim saves carry across mod data and when it's not there they get funky. Vanilla saves should always load because they're not missing anything. Often times it might be a case that cold load from start up will crash because of a missing script, but loading it from within a running game will work OK.
Mods is one thing. Install order is another. It's important to make sure when installing mods that you do so in the right sequence, especially where they might conflict or overwrite each other.
I highly recommend having a look at: -
Skyrim tuner not only explains how to install his ENB, but he also outlines his install order, as well as things that you need to be aware of when it comes to patches.
It's also a good idea to take the time to create an install sequence in Notepad. Here's one that I used recently following a re-install : -
Install sequence
Part 1:-
0) launch vanilla game to generate initial files
1) install Skse & setup logging
2) install unofficial patches
3) Install utilities
Run Boss, run TES5 edit clean dirty edits
Fire up base game see if launches OK with TES5 edits
Make vanilla save
Part 2: -
install following: -
1) Realvision recommended (be aware compatibility patches)
2) Realvision essential
3) ensure any relevant patching & .ini adjustments are done
4) Install ENB files
5) Double check everything
6) Run Boss and cleaner etc
7) Load up Vanilla save to check loading
Part 3: -
1) Install audio files
2) install User interfaces
3) install menu changes
4) install companion order files (I use Ultimate follower overhaul)
5) install environmental
6) Install general visual & game play enhancements
7) Install animals, creatures, mounts & horses
8) Install weapon & armour textures
Part 4: -
1) install hair & face models (add HDT physics extensions to SKSE) (with textures review overwrites)
2) Install beauty mods (NMB faces, EEO, BFB, BFBNS, CW2, DL, SD, etc ..review overwrites)
3) Install Beauty eyes (review overwrites)
Part 5: -
1) install Body mods (CBBE firstly - leave dirt untouched, Bodyslide options, skeleton, then texture mod)
2) Create base body preset & generate relevant bodyslide groups
3) Install animations
4) Run FNIS (as admin)
5) Load up clean save and check everything is working ok
6) Copy any old character presets to relevant folder
7) Load up and use Racemenu to see if presets have followed through
Part 6: -
1) Install companions - human
2) Check that any fixes have worked
Part 7: -
1) Copy old saves to skyrim folder
2) Load up & cross fingers
3) If so make fresh save
If you're swapping in and out mods always ensure you make a save between uninstall/installs. So say for example you want to try out a new water mod: -
1) Uninstall the old mod via NMM and follow any further instructions the mod maker may have stated with regard to uninstallation.
2) Run BOSS
3) Load up game. If you get a CTD the try firing up a vanilla save and then loading the last save.
4) Make a new save.
5) Exit and reload and check that the game loads up OK.
6) Install new mod, and follow any instructions the mod author has.
7) Run BOSS, check for edits. Use Tes5edit if required (Gopher does a pretty simple tes5edit tutorial)
8) Load up last save.
9) If the mod installs correctly then make a further save. That way you've always got the previous one as a buffer.
Might sound a little tedious, but its not a tedious as doing a complete re-install because some mod broke you're saved game and you've no point of recovery.
With things like animations/idles etc you need to run FNIS anytime you change them, otherwise the animations won't play in game.
If you have got the HD space, once you've got a basic install you're happy with it's not necessarily a bad idea to make a copy (similar to saving off the vanilla folder) that way you can always just replace a later copy, and it saves you having to go through the whole install sequence again.

Avoid the Requiem mod at all cost. It gets a lot of things right. At times it lends the game much needed atmosphere. It dramatically improves the Perk system. This goes doubly for Mages, who can learn multiple spells at once just from choosing new perks. And the new spells are far more interesting than vanilla ones to boot, especially since dual casting them often lends the spells completely new effects and not just more power. What Requiem does right, it really nails.
Unfortunately, where it goes wrong, is balance.
The world is unleveled. Meaning your level has NOTHING to do with what spawns where. Done right, I can live with this. But if you're going to unlevel the world right from the get-go, the player must have a fair chance at defeating enemies right from the get go. Requiem does not do this. In fact, all Requiem does is punish you.
In the beginning, there isn't anything out there that needs more than two hits to kill you. Archers need only one. And Bandits spawn in HORDES now. Ten, twenty at a time. Making them a suicide run. Sabre Cats and Bears prowl from the very beginning - as do Trolls. These last constantly refill their health, unless you hit them with fire, at which time the 60pts/second regen finally stops for a seconds. Essentially, trolls mean you MUST use a mage character; your choice in the matter is, essentially, removed.
Requiem isn't a "old school role playing mod" as it claims. Its a desperate attempt to make Dark Souls look fair, balanced and fun by comparison. Now, if only Skyrim had HALF the combat engine Dark Souls had, and could handle group combat AT ALL (more less well) Requiem MIGHT have a fighting chance at being a good mod.
Unfortunately, this is Skyrim, where group combat is clumsy and awkward at best and plagued by bug-ridden collision and cramped corridors constantly. Avoid Requiem.

Yeah generally I'm personally wary of 'game play' adjustment mods like requiem. It's certainly fair to say that the combat in Skyrim isn't super odious once you reach a certain point and especially if you're someone like me who has a few companions/loot mules in tow, but combat is only really one aspect of the game. I'm all about the exploring, discovering new things/locations and resolving endless quests myself. Sure I enjoy the fighting to a degree, but it's a side dish Vs the other stuff.
Nexus is down at present but typical mods I have installed on top of graphics & beauty/body mods are: -
Better Dynamic Snow
A Matter Of Time
Auto Unequip Ammo
Auto Unequip Helmet
Birds of skyrim
Chesko Wearable Lantern
Dead Body Collision
Enhanced Wetness and Puddles
Fast TravelSpeed
Wet and Cold
Compass Marker Range
Customizable Camera
Cloaks of Skyrim
Lightweight Potions and Poisons
Better sorting
Weightless Ingredients
Weightless Soulgems and Fragments
Head tracking
Show RaceMenu Alternative
Show race menu pre-cache killer (essential if you use lots of hair types)
Auto Unequip Shield
Crimson Tide - Blood
No Spinning Death Animation
UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul
Ask Follower Skills
move it
Enhanced Character Edit
Extended Slider Colors
get Snowy
Player Home Map Markers
UFO tweak
Warburg's 3D Paper World Map (need to ensure it's at the bottom of the load order)
Armour & weapon textures - Amidian book of silence and anything else done by Cabal is pretty much essential.
Improved NPC Clothing - High Res

As long as we're talking bad mods, I felt roughly the same way about Deadly Combat. It makes combat super-lethal in a game that throws mobs of enemies at you and gives you absolutely no tools for dodging incoming damage. I wanted to like it but it just turned everything into save scumming and abusing bows to the point where it somehow was even less fun than vanilla Skyrim combat.
So, there's countless threads about modding Skyrim and I don't feel like starting a new one: besides, my question is pretty limited in scope:
I HATE MICHAEL GOUGH - No wait, that's not a question - I HATE THAT THE SAME GUY VOICES A FUCKTON OF DUDEGUYS ALL OVER SKYRIM. ...getting there, slowly but surely?
So they picked the very same, utterly recognizable actor delivering with the same intonation time and again, it's like I'm talking to the same person over and over, might as well drive a 10 ton truck over my immersion and then squish the remains under a double decker bus.
I was hoping for a mod to add variety, but I'm not having any luck with the search lottery. Failing that, even a mod that makes MaleNord shut up for good would probably do.The Onward March of Bundles - Bundles, bundles, bundles! click on this nao!

Falskaar has its own voice actors(29?), but that is basically a different game. Skywind is gettings its own voice work done as well, but that is also a different game(Morrowind port).
Voice actor replacement mods always seem to get started and never finished with these things, since there is so much work involved. Maybe someone else knows of one that I haven't heard of though.

This is the guy I'm trying to get replaced or rid of, from the intro. Funny thing is while looking for a suitable video, it's obvious he can do other registers perfectly well, looks like a massive audio direction fuck up: he was told to play all the characters in the same way.
He starts talking at 1m50s, character's name's Ralof.

Optimal replanting and cutting rule for coffee farmers in Vietnam
This paper identifies the optimal cutting and replanting rule for coffee farmers in Vietnam. Some previous studies examined the optimal price at which to cut trees for coffee farmers in Vietnam but they have not investigated the relationship between the age of tree and the cutting point. Fixed-form optimization is applied to analyze a rule that links market coffee prices and age of tree with the cutting decision.

Sociality in a Malagasy allodapine bee, Macrogalea antanosy, and the impacts of the facultative social parasite, Macrogalea maizina
- Citations
- 65 Downloads
Social parasitism has been researched extensively in many taxa of social insects, including ants, wasps and bees. However, little research has been done on allodapine bees, a taxon that has numerous independent origins of social parasitism. This study looks at two species of Macrogalea from Madagascar, one of which was previously believed to be a social parasite. Macrogalea is an important genus to study as it is the sister clade to all other allodapine genera, and the species of Macrogalea in Madagascar diverged recently, meaning that the study of a social parasite in this genera would provide insights into the very early stages of social parasite evolution. Macrogalea maizina was determined to be facultatively parasitic based on the presence of many traits that are common to other allodapine social parasites. The host, Macrogalea antanosy, was found to be quasisocial, with most females within a colony being able to reproduce. This has unique consequences for a parasitic strategy, as any invading parasite has no need to remove a queen or suppress the reproduction of the other colony members, a strategy that has been commonly observed for facultative parasites in other taxa.

A Phase II Study of Total Skin Electron Beam Therapy (TSEBT) to Dose of 12 Gy in Stage IB-IIIA Mycosis Fungoides
Study Radiation:
During total skin electron beam therapy, radiation is given to the entire surface of the
skin. This may cause the cancer cells to die.
Researchers would like to learn the level of effectiveness of this lower dose of radiation
therapy because it is likely to have fewer side effects than the standard, higher dose.
Screening Period:
Signing this consent form does not mean that you will be able to take part in this study.
You will have the following "screening tests" to help the doctor decide if you are eligible
to take part in this study.
Within 6 weeks before the radiation therapy can begin:
- If the doctor thinks it is needed, you will have a computed tomography (CT) scan or
other type of scan to check the status of the disease.
- If the doctor thinks it is needed, blood (about 1 teaspoon) will be drawn to check for
cancer in your lymph nodes.
Within 4 weeks before the radiation therapy can begin:
- Your medical history will be recorded, including any drugs you are taking and have
- You will have a physical exam, including a skin exam and measurement of your weight and
vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and breathing rate).
- You will be asked how well you are able to perform the normal activities of daily
living (performance status).
- Blood (about 1 teaspoon) will be drawn for routine tests.
- Women who are able to become pregnant must have a negative urine pregnancy test.
The study doctor will discuss the screening test results with you. If the screening tests
show that you are not eligible to take part in the study, you will not be enrolled. Other
treatment options will be discussed with you.
Wash-Out Period:
If you agree to take part in this study, from that day until your first study radiation
treatment, you will stop certain treatments for mycosis fungoides. This is called a
"wash-out period". The number of weeks will be different depending on what treatments you
may be receiving. The study doctor will explain the types of treatments and schedule for
stopping them.
- For the 2 weeks before radiation, you will stop using any cancer drugs that are
"topical" (applied onto the skin).
- For the 4 weeks before radiation, you will stop any radiation therapy, phototherapy
(cancer treatments with light), cancer drugs that are "systemic" (affecting the whole
body), and any other investigational therapy.
Study Visit Before Radiation Therapy:
Within 1 week before your first radiation treatment, the following tests and procedures will
be performed:
-You will have a physical exam, including a skin exam and measurement of your weight and
vital signs.
Your performance status will be recorded.
- You will be asked about any drugs you may be taking.
- The doctor will draw on your skin with a marker to mark areas of your body that are
unexposed. This is to help plan the radiation treatments. Depending on your body
shape, about 8-16 body areas will be marked.
- Photos will be taken of your whole body. These photos will be used to help the doctor
find out how much skin is affected by the disease.
Radiation Treatments:
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will receive low-dose
radiation to the skin 4-5 days a week for 3 weeks.
On Mondays and Tuesdays, you will receive radiation that can cover your entire skin area.
You will be standing during the treatment. This wider-field radiation treatment cannot give
enough radiation to the unexposed areas of your body, such as under the arms, under the
breasts for females, under the belly, in the private areas, and the soles of the feet. For
this reason, in addition to the wider-field radiation, you will also receive radiation that
covers these smaller areas of your body on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The amount of
radiation that these smaller body areas will receive is designed to be the same as the
amount the rest of the skin will receive.
If the study doctor thinks it is needed for standard care, you will also receive radiation
treatments on other tumors. In most cases, this will be on Fridays. It will be 4-7
treatments, depending on the tumor size.
At Weeks 2 and 3 of radiation treatment, you will be asked about any side effects that have
Length of Study:
You may receive up to 3 weeks of low-dose radiation therapy. You will be taken off the
study treatment early if intolerable side effects occur or the disease gets worse. The
follow-up period in this study lasts up to 12 months after the last treatment.
Follow-Up and End-of-Study Visits:
After your last dose of low-dose radiation therapy, you will have follow-up visits 1 to 3
weeks after treatment, every 2 months for 6 months, and then every 3 months for a total of
12 months. However, if the disease gets worse during this 12-month follow-up period, the
follow-up visits will stop. When you are off-study, an end-of-study visit will occur.
If you stopped the radiation early due to intolerable side effects, you will have follow-up
visits twice a week until the doctor thinks the side effects have gotten better. After
that, you will return for an end-of-study visit.
At the follow-up visits and end-of-study visit, the following tests and procedures will be
- You will have a physical exam, including a skin exam and measurement of your weight and
vital signs.
- Your performance status will be recorded.
- You will be asked about any drugs you may be taking and side effects that may have
- Photos will be taken of your whole body to check the status of the disease.
- Blood (about 1 teaspoon) will be drawn for routine tests
This is an investigational study. For this type of cancer, the dose of radiation in this
study is lower than standard. The type of radiation therapy (total skin electron beam
therapy) is standard. At this time, the lower dose is only being used in research.
Up to 20 patients will be take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Objective Response Rate
Objective response rate defined as the proportion of patients achieving CCR and PR (i.e. overall response (OR)) as assessed by the modified Severity-Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT).

Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt / World Class Track Meet
Review by KasketDarkfyre
"Now...if you can just find a working Power Pad..."
Much to my surprise, this title hasn't been reviewed before, and I couldn't understand why. The triple title combination of Super Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt and Track Meet is a game that can be played, but the third title of this combination needs the NES Power Pad! While I haven't seen very many games that have utilized the Power Pad, one of the better ones that I've played using this interesting device has to be Track Meet, with the Aerobics game following a close second. Even though it is extremely hard to find this device and have it in total working order, I'd have to say that you had better stretch a little bit before you play through the game. The Power Pad is probably one of the more innovative and inventive devices that I've seen come from the Nintendo Entertainment System, with a close following of ROB the Robot and the U-Force controller. While small things such as this are hard to come by, you'll find that if you're lucky enough to find a working Power Pad, that having this title is worth the money you may spend on it to collect! As the Super Mario/Duck Hunt review went, you'll get the overview of each game, divided up into different sections with the addition of Track Meet.
Game Play: Super Mario Brothers
The game play in Super Mario Brothers is side scrolling action, in which you control either Mario {1 player game} or Luigi {2 player game} through several worlds of enemy bumping madness. The simplicity of the game at this time did not require you to do anything more than bash monsters, collect power up items and make it from one end of the stage to the other before the timer ran out! Through your adventures in these stages, you'll find different power ups that will help you to attain your goal of defeating Bowser and rescuing the Princess from his clutches. The power ups in question come in the form of mushrooms, fire flowers and star men, all of which will grant you a different power depending on which you pick up. The mushrooms are especially useful for when you've taken a hit and need to be transformed back into a larger sized plumber. Fire Flowers allow you to throw small fireballs {seemingly from your nose} at enemies from a distance and can be used to combat the different forms of Bowser through all of the Castle stages. Star Men are what make you become invincible, and you'll find that the key positioning of these and just how fast you can run, will go a long way in helping you to defeat the game!
Game Play: Duck Hunt
The game play is divided up into two different forms of shooting. The first of these two games is the actual duck hunting in which you and your trusty dog flush out the virtual ducks and then you have to shoot them down. Depending on your ability to track and shoot, you'll find that the stages you go through with the duck hunting become increasingly more difficult as time passes, so you'll need to have your reflexes worked up for when the ducks go flying in different directions! The second part of the game is more or less a clay pigeon shooting game that works in the same fashion as the duck hunting. A pair of discs is thrown into the air and away from you, with your only goal being to track them down with the gun, and fire on them before they get too far out of range. While this may not seem difficult, there are times where you have nothing more than a second or two of lag time in between the discs and you may end up missing at least one on the later stages of the game! The game play isn't meant to be extremely difficult, and is more or less geared towards the younger gamers who were getting into the video game systems back when this was released.
Game Play: Track Meet
Now in Track Meet, you really have to have an understanding of how the Power Pad works and just what you can do with it. Most of the game play itself are running games in which you either race to the finish line, or you have to jump different obstacles in your path {Hurdles}! While that may seem very simple, the game is best played in a two-player format, simply because the computer on the one-player game is very difficult to complete and you may find that the game is cheap in the way it waits for you to slow down. With different games that you can play, the best part of Track Meet is the fact that you can play against your friends in a sweat-inducing race to the finish line, and that you have to use the different buttons on the pad to accomplish certain things. In all honesty, this is one of the first games that you'll come into contact with that you have to have a good understanding of physical fitness in order to play, and unless you've stretched out a little bit, you may end up injuring yourself in the process.
Control: Super Mario Brothers
Control in Super Mario is something that needs to be practiced in later stages. While not the most difficult game that you'll even play, there are instances where you need to have precision timing and patience to get through some of the more intricate jumping places! One of the most difficult areas in the game, and the point where you will see just how the control reacts, is in the fourth world, where there are small platforms that you absolutely must hit, or you'll fall to your doom. In these places, you'll find that the NES control doesn't make much use of the directional pad, and timing is everything. The first instances of Ghost Control in NES games can be found in this point, in which the controller just isn't as responsive as you may need it to be later on in the game!
Control: Duck Hunt
The control isn't taken care of with the NES control pad, but more with the NES Zapper light gun. Unless you have this piece of equipment, then you can't play Duck Hunt. One of the first games and one of a few that I can think of that were a Zapper gun only type of game, you should have no problem picking up a Zapper as it was packed in with the NES system to begin with! The actual accuracy of the Zapper in Duck Hunt is more or less contained to how well you've taken care of your equipment and if your Zapper is in perfect condition, then you should have no troubles with playing the title. Because the game is pick up and play, and the only real advanced thing you're doing is moving the Zapper to point and click at the ducks or clay pigeons, anyone of any age or skill level can pick this title up and run with it.
Control: Track Meet
Track Meet can only be played effectively with the Power Pad, and you'll have to learn how to use it correctly. The basis of the Power Pad, is to be able to step on it, and use the oversized buttons with your feet in order to get speed and then jump on other buttons in order to leap over the hurdles that get in your way! An interesting concept to say the least, you have eight oversized buttons that you'll have to be able to use in order to get anything accomplished. Because the Power Pad is pressure sensitive, you'll really have to stomp your feet in order to keep your character moving, and you have to do this without hour shoes on. The specifications of the Power Pad are such, that you also have to be within a certain weight limit in order to use the Power Pad and not destroy it in the process. In a way, this is a downfall because if you exceed the weight limit on the Power Pad, you can't play the game and you'll risk destroying the Pad in the process!
Visuals: Super Mario Brothers
Visually, the game isn't anywhere near as expansive as the later Super Mario games, but you'll find that there is plenty of detail and places to go. When you reach certain stages, you'll find that the environment changes from wide open spaces, to caverns and even Castles in which you'll face off against creatures such as turtles and small walking globs of brown material that have eyes! All in all, for its time, this was as detailed as a video game got, and you'll find that there are small details everywhere that really set the mood. One of the most impressive stages that is visually appealing to look at is the water stage, and you'll find that even though there isn't much detail to it, there is plenty to look at and the colorization is done nicely throughout.
Visuals: Duck Hunt
Visually, the game is ancient in the way that it is presented. The animations on the ducks is done in fair style, with the flapping of wings and then the way that they seem to do a nose dive into the bushes is really something to look at when you consider the type of game that this is. The clay pigeon shooting moves fast enough to give you the real experience of the discs moving away from you and when you do happen to shoot them, you'll find that the flying pieces are done in fair style as well! When you boil it down though, there really isn't much to the game that is extremely special and the experience is delivered in the fashion that most NES games were back in the day. If you're really an NES buff, then you'll find that the Duck Hunt is the prime example of beginning visuals for this age-old system.
Visuals: Track Meet
Visually, Track Meet is an appealing game in a simple sense. All of the games are looked at from a side scrolling view, and you'll find that your runner basically moves at the speed that you do, with the way that the legs come up and down. The sense of speed is reproduced on the screen, but if you're really into winning the different races, then you will probably be looking at the pad itself and really not noticing what is going on during the game! The crowds in the background are done just enough to show a little movement, but nothing spectacular, and the stages that you race through are more or less track and field types of places. If you're really looking for something detailed and overly special, then you're not looking in the right place, because this NES game is based on technical simplicity instead of visual flare.
Audio: Super Mario Brothers
Audio wise, there are four musical tracks that you'll find throughout the game, and you'll find that they tend to repeat the same theme from the start. While the music isn't all that impressive to listen to now, there is a sense of adventure to some of the tracks {such as the underground scenes} and you'll find that the overall theme track will stink with you for hours after you've turned off the game! Sound effect wise, there is really very little that can be found here, with most of the standard bleeps and bloops being found throughout the game, no matter where you go or what you're doing. Simple, yet effective, all of these points are what really started out the series and you'll find that the nostalgic value of the sound alone is well worth playing this title again and again.
Audio: Duck Hunt
The audio here is actually pleasing to the ears with the beginning theme and the ending theme being your only true audio features. The in-between music that you'll hear with the rounds as they pass is something that will stick in your mind, well after the game has been shut off. Something that does come through on both of the game variations though, is the way that the dog barks and the crash of your gun as you fire off the rounds at whatever it is that you're targeting. That familiar crash hasn't changed, even with the compellations that have come with the game, with the combinations that you find in Super Mario/Duck Hunt and Super Mario/Duck Hunt/Track Meet.
Audio: Track Meet
The audio that you find here is pretty sparse, with most of the music being removed from the game and only coming in when the race is finished or otherwise. The sound effects that you'll hear in Track Meet though come from the crowd as you're racing, and the Super Mario sounding leaps that you make over the different hurdles and otherwise! Something else that you might hear, is the sound of your own breath rushing out of your when it's all said and done, simply because you're not prepared for this type of game, or because you've just run your ass off. In all honesty, the audio here is about as simple as it gets, and you really won't hear too much unless you're putting in a CD to listen to while you race.
Overall, this is probably one of the most comprehensive collections of games that I've played in which I've had the most fun. Track Meet is one of the more innovative games, with the Power Pad being a surprising piece of equipment to come with the Nintendo Entertainment System! Packed in with the system and the Zapper during the "Fitness" stage of the original NES release, you'll be hard pressed to find this title, let alone a working Power Pad to play it with. If you're fortunate, you'll be able to find both of these two items in good working order and it really is a collectable piece of equipment worthy of appearing in anyone's NES collection!

Gov. Bob Riley, who signed legislation earlier this week that gives many low-income Alabamians a tax break, is celebrating the move as an end to an �unfair system" of taxation.
The governor deserves full credit for his role in raising the threshold at which Alabama residents begin paying state taxes. It was the lowest in the nation, forcing a family of four to start paying taxes at just $4,600 of annual earned income.
Virtually from the day he took office, Riley has sought to raise that threshold. His efforts finally paid off, and Alabama no longer is at the bottom of the list. It now ranks fourth behind West Virginia, Montana and Hawaii.
But with all respect to Riley, the higher threshold is hardly the end of an unfair tax system on Alabama�s poor.
It simply raises the income level at which a family of four will have to start paying state taxes to $12,500 a year. While it offers some help for the working poor, it�s still an outrageously low threshold.
What�s more, given the state�s historical reluctance to change its tax habits, it�s likely to remain in place for many years to come. The $4,600 threshold, for example, had been on the books since 1968.
It was part of a state tax code that continues to place a heavy burden on poor people. While Alabama has by far the lowest property taxes in the nation, it has the country�s highest sales taxes. Combined with local levies, they exceed 10 percent in some areas of the state.
Because of their regressive nature, sales taxes fall especially hard on lower-income residents.
Progressives have tried for years to interest elected leaders in comprehensive tax reform that would include a modest increase in property taxes and a substantial reduction in sales taxes on items including groceries, which, unlike many other states, Alabama taxes.
But opponents, traditionally led by Alfa, have bitterly fought reforms. The proposed changes have gone nowhere in the Legislature.
Alabama continues to get a larger share of its state and local revenues from sales and excise taxes, such as gasoline taxes and utility taxes, than most other states. They account for 51 percent of all state and local revenue, compared with an average of about 36 percent nationwide.
Alabama, too, is one of just seven states that provide no relief for the food tax whatsoever.
And low-income families in Alabama continue to pay sales tax on other necessities ranging from clothing to school supplies.
The bill that Riley signed to raise the tax threshold is a step toward fairness. State Sen. Gerald Dial, D-Lineville, wants to take another step next year and get the Legislature to agree to remove the state�s 4 percent sales tax on groceries. He has tried for years without success to get his colleagues in the Legislature to approve that change.
But there will never be real tax fairness without comprehensive reform that lifts the burden from the shoulders of the poor while giving Alabama adequate revenue for schools, prisons, health and public safety. That day -- if it ever arrives -- really will be something to celebrate.

This is somewhat irrelevant since you can take any picture to any good photo shop and have it resized to accommodate a particular frame. The cost of doing this is very reasonable. The frame is in excellent condition. The design work on the ring and ball elements is very attractive.

Charles Rogers stood in line with the other prisoners waiting to get on the prison bus. He was going away for the next two years, and was still in shock from the swiftness of it all. He didn't think he deserved to be here with these criminals. He was a computer geek, and a generally law abiding citizen, living a quiet life and keeping to himself most of the time. He was younger than most of the other prisoners, having recently celebrated his twenty-second birthday alone in front of his computer eating microwaved pizza.
The hydraulic door of the bus opened with a hiss, and a burly middle-aged prison guard stepped out holding a clipboard in one hand and a baton club in the other.
"All right, convicts, single file, move to the back of the bus and take a seat," the older guard shouted.

Veron answers critics
By Patricio Figueroa
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Chelsea midfielder bounced back from the abuse he received from Argentine fans in the weekend draw with Chile to conjure up a Man of the Match display in the World Cup qualifier against the Venezuelans.
Veron admits it was imperative his nation kick-started their qualifying campaign with three points against Venezuela and feels the win will silence the snipers.
"We knew that we had to win, scoring as many goals as we could," said Veron. "We couldn't leave any points in Caracas and we didn't it.
"We had a lot of pressure on us because many people gave a lot of criticism to this team. I hope that now they let us play a little bit calmer.
"Although we have won 3-0 against Venezuela, it doesn't mean that we don't have to correct anything in our way of playing but this victory gives us confidence for the future."
Argentina coach Marcelo Bielsa was satisfied with his side's performance but rued the failure to add to their tally after the break, with all the goals coming in the first half.
"The team has been very firm," said Bielsa. "We had many chances for scoring and we did it three times.
"In the second half we couldn't score more goals because Venezuela stood firm in defence."
Venezuela boss Richard Paez had no qualms with the outcome and praised his troops for their battling second half display.
Paez stated: "It was sad the way in which we lost because nobody likes to concede three goals in the first half of the match. Argentina showed themselves to be superior and that's why they won.
"Anyway, I'm very proud of my players because they played a very good second half. We don't have to get depressed from these first two games because this has just started and we have many games to play in the future."

And now, the OnePlus One has been confirmed to be getting the Android L update, but only after 90 days of the update's release.
We're not sure if they mean 90 days from now or from the date of Android L's commercial release, but it's good to have some sort of confirmation from OnePlus, especially considering all the negative press its smartphone has been getting due to delays in launch. HTC was bold enough to suggest something along the same lines, so we're hoping to see uniformity in the update rollout later this year. Bear in mind that this could mean sometime during late 2014 or even 2015 as Android L isn't expected to hit stock Android devices until later in the year.
We're not sure if this will convince users to pick the OnePlus One over other competitive offerings, but it's certainly going to help.

Flying to Alaska Day Eight – Anaktuvuk Pass
After a lengthy but enjoyable flight over the Arrigetch Peaks I landed on a gravel airstrip in Anaktuvuk Pass, a native village just on the north side of the Brooks Mountain Range and inhabited by the Nunamiut, the only inland Iñupiat (Eskimos) in Alaska. Anaktuvuk Pass is often reported as the coldest place in Alaska during the winter and although experiencing the midnight sun is pretty awesome they also have 72 straight days of no sun in the winter, which is hard to even imagine. The Nunamiut were a nomadic people following the Caribou and didn't settle down until the 1950s.
Although it is gaining popularity as a place for hiking and even rafting (the John River and Anaktuvuk Rivers are floatable), visitors are still rare and the General Manager of the regional native corporation (most villages are set up as native corporations in order to provide an ability for them to be – or at least try to be – economically independent) saw me fly in and met me at the airport. He started as a tour guide and explained they have a store, café, etc. and a bit about the history. However, when he found out I've worked in an Alaska native village before and I've also worked with some native corporations in my business life we are soon in a lengthy discussion of the challenges and woes of native life. A fascinating discussion that we'll continue over lunch when I return from backpacking.
We did agree it is a wonderful place for outdoor activities (even backcountry skiing in the spring) and they need to somehow get the word out. The village is in the process of remodeling their "lodge" from something best described as a "man camp" for construction workers to something more pleasant for tourists. Ultimately they would like to build a new lodge on a bare ridge above town.
I'm a little late heading out of town on my planned solo backpacking trip, but heck, you can walk all night if you want in the sun so I finally hike out of town at about 3:00 pm and put in 6 miles before stopping for the "night".
I suppose you can easily tell the passage of time during the night by how far the sun travels across the horizon. For me it was a little disorienting so I'm glad I had a watch so I knew when "morning" was. I started the day on the banks of the Anaktuvuk river in the bright sun, ate some oatmeal for breakfast and then hiked upstream a ways. Then I turned up a tributary toward high ground to climb some of the nearby peaks. I like peaks.
After climbing a lower peak and identifying a good high peak to climb the next morning, I just sat in a high saddle, with a nice breeze to keep the bugs off with a forever-view of the Brooks. I stared at the view for a bit and read my kindle for a bit. It was one of those magical moments and I'm glad there was a rock I could balance my camera on to get a photo. It didn't last though, as the clouds got lower and lower and finally turned the forever-view into a two-foot view. And darn cold. I went to bed, read some more and listened to the drizzle on the bivy sack. The unzipped bivy sack. Also a pretty fine moment.
Next: Day Ten – Escaping the Weather
Flying to Alaska Day Ten, Escaping the Weather
The next morning, day ten in Alaska, I climbed the peak next to my camp, about 7,000 feet (Anaktuvuk pass is about 2,500 feet) for some great views. However I was starting to think about flying again and I was able to get some basic text-based weather on my satellite device (DeLorme InReach) and that showed storms were coming in. I wouldn't know it yet, but within a few days it would be snowing around here. I also had this crash report in mind from June. I decided to hike out that day and even fly out that evening to get ahead of the storm.
I dropped down a different valley into the John River valley and followed that back to Anaktuvuk Pass. There I met Brad again, the general manager of the village corp., and he wanted me to experience the great burgers at the café. Interesting, because previously he said they had a restaurant but from walking around I never found it. This time he drove me the two blocks to get there and it turned out to be an unmarked and rather unappealing trailer with a sewage problem. I couldn't help but suggest maybe they put a sign on it for tourist's sake. It was a great burger though and I even saw they had halibut and all kinds of stuff. I wouldn't say it was a romantic sort of restaurant, but it was clean (inside) and had good food.
For the sake of being a good tourist I bought an Anaktuvuk Pass jacket at the store, then preflighted my plane and took off. Unfortunately, because of numerous fires just south of the Brooks Range the visibility soon went to almost zero and I was flying on instruments. There were also increasing clouds and I was in the process of trying to figure out where they were so I could fly under them if possible, or over them – keeping in mind the freezing level of about 9,000 feet. Not really a problem but certainly a time of high concentration.
Then a red light came on and warnings started to flash on my engine monitor display. Oh my, what timing.
Next: Inflight Emergency

|7 nights
Direct access to the sea, a breathtaking setting, a little taste of paradise!
At the heart of the nature reserve and facing the Pinel Island, one of the jewels of Saint Martin you can easily get to swim or paddle strokes in two kayaks, kindly made available ....
All amenities nearby, great choice of restaurants within 700 m, supermarket, pharmacy, doctor etc ...
Awesome stay at this little piece of paradise. We just got back from 2 weeks at this charming seaside villa. First of all, Sabrina and Lionel were great to deal with from the very beginning and very helpful. They were also very quick to respond when we had some minor technical issues which were quickly resolved. We were two adult couples sharing the house which was a good size for this number. The house was as we expected with some great amenities and an awesome view. First of all this is one of the best equipped kitchens we have ever had with quality pots, pans and utensils. We had a use of 3 kayaks which were used often to explore the bay and visit Pinel Island which is a must while in Saint Martin. They also had snorkelling equipment available. The villa is also well located with quality restaurants within walking distance and only minutes away from numerous beaches and shopping opportunities. This was our first time in Saint Martin and won't be our last. In our opinion, the French side was much more beautiful and laid back than the Dutch Side although I should warn that it is indeed very French with some people having difficulty communicating in English. A bonus of the island is the great selection of French and Dutch food products and goodies. There were also many very good grocery shopping options with every location selling beer, wine and liquor at incredible prices. FYI don't bother bringing any duty free as the prices on the Island are far superior. Finally a very special thank you to Sabrina and Lionel for allowing us to spend some time in their great villa, merci!
We spent two weeks in this charming house, my husband and my 2 children (6 and 7) , the location is ideal , 600 meters (by boat ) to Pinel Island (in my opinion the best beach in Saint -Martin ) , we went almost every day with a kayak. The kitchen is fully equipped with all you need for cooking . The house is clean , comfortable and very well maintained. We were greeted by the sister of the owner who is lovely and gave us all the necessary advice at our arrival. The view is spectacular and the neighborhood is very quiet and safe. The house is ideal for a holiday with family or friends, but I highly recommend renting a car because there are many beaches and places to visit.
Les vacances comme on en rêve, la maison est située au calme plein sud dans un endroit préservé, les pieds dans l'eau dans la baie de Cul de Sac face à l'ilet Pinel ( petit ilot de sable blanc que nous avons visité plusieurs fois durant notre séjour à la nage ou grâce aux kayaks de mer mis à disposition par nos hôtes) les plages sont superbes et les fonds marins pleins de poissons, tortues... A pied à partir de la maison vous pouvez faire votre jogging ou une randonnée aux grandes Cayes une nature restée sauvage sans habitation face à la mer. Plusieurs commerces et restaurants à proximité (les fameux petits lolos: restaurants typiques où vous dégusterez les spécialités de l'île). Saint Martin est vraiment réputé pour ses plages de rêve. Nous avons fait de très belles balades dans les collines à la végétation verdoyante, des promenades sur les marchés de Marigot et Philipsburg côté Hollandais. Je recommande vivement cette maison spacieuse très bien agencée avec tout le confort attendu. Sa terrasse en bois, la paillote ombragée avec piscine était vraiment appréciée par tous après une journée de rando surtout pour nos petits apéros du soir. Les petits diners sous les étoiles à la lumière des bougies. Les petits déjeuners sur la terrasse avec un lever de soleil éblouissant. Les doigts de pieds en éventail entourés de nos amis, le bonheur tout simplement.
Close to the airport in Grand Case, gastronomic capital of St Martin ...

Building surveying > Pathology > Biodeterioration
Biodeterioration can affect many buildings, particularly historic ones. Addressing it requires a multi-disciplinary approach. Assessing decay (timber decay, fungal decay and insect decay) may require specialist techniques.
The key factors to consider in relation to biodeterioration:
- the material;
- the environment; and
- the organism.
Careful inspection is required before establishing the appropriate control strategy. Environmental management and control, combined with preventative maintenance, are preferable to chemical eradication. Preventative maintenance should, in most cases, forestall the need for major interventions and reduce the cost of conserving buildings. Environmental management and the ongoing monitoring of environmental conditions within buildings should ensure the long-term health of both materials and structures.

Define really fast. I say you need 1.3x as much RAM as the size of your FSDirectory to ensure that the file system cache is never flushed out. But it also depends on user load. Each thread consumes RAM and CPU. In order to really find out, setup the benchmarker to run on your index, and limit the amount of memory your file system chache and JVM is allowed. > Any other advice about sizing a server? > What other info do you need to have to help size the server? Sizing? > Does it matter if the server has a 64 bit processor? In a 64 bit environment a reference to an instance consumes twice as much RAM as in a 32 bit environment. It should not affect a file centric Lucene store (Directory), Your OS and your application that use Lucene might be consuming some more resources though. Again, benchmark. > Speed of processor important? Yes. > Speed of disks?

|United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest
The United Kingdom participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan. The British entry was selected through an internal selection, organised by the British broadcaster BBC. Engelbert Humperdinck represented United Kingdom with the song "Love Will Set You Free" composed by Martin Terefe and Sacha Skarbek. Humperdinck finished in 25th place with a score of 12 points in the final.
Before Eurovision[edit]
Early rumours[edit]
On 24 August 2011, the Daily Star reported that the BBC were taking an internal selection and that they were targeting Charlotte Church, JLS, The Saturdays, Pixie Lott and Katherine Jenkins. In August 2011, Geri Halliwell proposed that the Spice Girls should reunite to represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012.[4] On 26 February 2012, it was reported by the Daily Star Sunday that girl band Atomic Kitten were to be the year's entry for Eurovision.[5] These rumours were later denied by all individual members of Atomic Kitten themselves.[6]
Internal selection[edit]
On 1 March 2012, following speculation from fans as to when the news would be announced, BBC revealed the announcement of the chosen representative would be later that day, with Eurovision.tv also confirming they would release the news simultaneously.[7] It was revealed later that day that Engelbert Humperdinck was to represent the UK in Baku.[2]
The song was presented on 19 March 2012 at 10:00am UTC, on eurovision.tv and BBC's own official Eurovision website at the same time.[8]
At Eurovision[edit]
As a member of the Big Five, the United Kingdom automatically qualified to compete in the final held on 26 May. Humperdinck was drawn to perform first in the line-up. At the end of the contest, the song finished in 25th place with only 12 points, ahead of only Norway, who came last.
It was reported that after the Grand Final Humperdinck refused to turn up at the after party at Euroclub and went straight to his hotel room in disappointment. The next day Humperdinck attended a lavish party as the guest of honour hosted by Azerbaijani Singer Emin Agalarov at a luxury resort just outside Baku. Humperdinck was said to have been in good spirit drinking his favourite wine and even received a round of applause from all the other contestants when he arrived at the party.[9]
On 18 June the EBU revealed the split televoting and jury results of the contest. In the final it was revealed that the United Kingdom had placed 21st in the televoting with 36 points, however placed last with the juries with only 11 points, leading to a combined finish of 25th place.[10]
Points awarded by United Kingdom[edit]
Second semi-final[edit]

After Eurovision[edit]
After the contest there were calls by several media personalities for the United Kingdom to withdraw from the contest, with Phillip Schofield describing the competition as "political".[11][12]
The finals got an average of 7.47 million viewers, peaking at 9.6 million viewers, down on the previous year, although the show faced additional competition from an England friendly football match.[13]
