Huntsman misfires: Is he even aiming?EDITORIAL
June 14. 2011 7:39PM
Huntsman spent a full weekend in New Hampshire before Monday night's debate. To his credit, he did a lot of retail politics and even visited Bike Week in the rain. We were not alone last week in questioning his decision to skip the first 2012 presidential debate in the first-in-the-nation primary state, especially since he was already in the state. That decision is all the more puzzling now that Huntsman has announced his intention to run for the Republican nomination.
Did he watch the debate and then decide to get into the race? Or had he already decided to run, but to skip the debate for strategic purposes? Either way, he missed a great opportunity to do three very important things: 1) introduce himself to a statewide and national audience that surely will be bigger than the audience for his solo announcement; 2) distinguish himself from the pack; 3) launch himself into the race with some serious forward momentum.
Gov. Huntsman seems to be a serious and accomplished man who could make a viable run at the nomination. It will be nice to have him in the race. It is unfortuante for him - and for the voters - that he waited until after the game began before he decided to play.

Definition of sprinkling inCategorized under "General"
Definition as written by Terry:
When seeds are sown - either directly into the garden, or into flats - a small amount of water may be applied in a gentle sprinkle to ensure the seed makes good contact with the soil. Care should be taken to not overwater or apply the water in a strong stream, as that may dislodge the seeds or send them too deep in the soil.

On our way home from our short getaway yesterday, we stopped at a small thrift shop that we live too far away from to visit often...By bedtime, we were this far on the baseball jigsaw puzzle I bought. It requires a magnifying glass to read all the stadium names
and other fine print.
and other fine print.
I was charmed by this ceramic cat (even though I'm not a big fan of real cats).
The basket, pink velvet ribbon and white Homer Laughlin bowl caught my fancy, too--
along with an Arch Book - a child's version of the Bible story of the woman at the well.
My husband found 2 pair of slacks and a sweater.
We left the store $3 and some odd cents poorer!

Adversity brings out strong Tiger effort
Illness. Injuries. Accidents. Suspensions.
The New Richmond football team had a majority of new starters after the team was decimated by misfortune in the week leading up to last Friday's game at Ellsworth.
And while the Tigers came out on the losing end of a 10-7 score to a formidable Panther team, Tiger coach Jeff Albarado was calling this "our best team effort."
The misfortune really is a two-week pattern, when two seniors were suspended. Last week the Tigers saw starters out with illness and injuries. Then Friday, in the minutes before the team bus was to head for Ellsworth, two players ended up in the emergency room in separate accidents.
Junior Jeremy Weeks slipped in the locker room, suffering a cut on his forehead that needed stitches and knocked him out of the game. Senior Kenny Walters suffered an accident at home, falling into a glass coffee table. A large shard of glass went into his back. He was fortunate though. The glass hit a rib and deflected out his skin. While the injury could have been much worse, it likely still will keep him out for the rest of the season.
With the team so short-handed, the coaches and several veteran players huddled on the bus on how to fill all of the voids left in the lineup. Albarado counted 18 changes on offense, defenses and special teams that had to be made during the week.
"I've never known anything close to this," Albarado said. "The whole situation unified the team. We weren't able to parlay it into a win, but the only thing that didn't work out was the final score."
Albarado spoke glowingly of how players stepped into bigger roles on the team. At defensive end, Steve Volkert and Brian Rehurek are fourth and fifth on the depth chart and Volkert played with a heavily padded hand due to an injury. John Shilts and Chad Aldous moved up to starting cornerback jobs and Shilts also played wingback on offense. With Shilts and Aldous at the corners, the Tigers held Ellsworth's passing attack to 33 yards. Ellsworth entered the game with the third-ranked passing attack in the conference.
Mike Martinez got his first significant varsity time at halfback, covering 49 yards in five carries.
Tom Olek became the long snapper on special teams because of Volkert's hand injury. David Koch handled the punting, averaging 34 yards a kick and not letting Prescott return any of his punts.
Both teams were able to sustain drives until they reached the opponent's 20. The Tigers had four drives of more than 60 yards, but could only get the one score.
Their score came in the second quarter, following a long drive. Senior fullback Tommy Wells scored the touchdown on a 2-yard plunge with nine minutes left in the half.
Ellsworth answered with a sustained drive, tying the game just before halftime.
The winning points were scored by Ellsworth on a 29-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. The Tigers had driven to the Ellsworth 7. The Tiger coaches called a bootleg play. New Richmond's pass was intercepted and returned to the Ellsworth 20, setting up the Panthers' field goal.
The Tigers made one more march down the field. They got the ball to the Ellsworth 10 with 1:12 left in the game. An Ellsworth defender then shot through a gap in the line to force a fumble and the Panthers recovered.
With a 1-3 record in the MBC, the Tigers now must win their final three conference games to get into the 2003 WIAA state football playoffs.
The first of those three games is this Thursday. The Tigers will be playing at home against Baldwin-Woodville, who is winless so far in the 2003 season.

I don't want to write this post because Jennifer Aniston WANTS me to write this post and I detest that woman more than my period getting in the way of a solid weekend of sex. Which, yes, I am currently on, so yes, I'm feeling extra cunty. Guys, just pretend all the TV networks got together and canceled all sports programming for a week. Then you can relate.
Jennifer Aniston attended Lifetime's (the network where untalented stars go to die) Call Me Crazy premiere in Los Angeles last night. She wore her hair up in a strapless top, revealing odd "cupping" marks, the result of a form of Chinese medicine that's meant to stimulate circulation.
Every girl knows that you look prettier with your hair down, especially if you're a solid 6, which Aniston is even with the $8,000 she spends monthly to try and reach for an 8. Yet Aniston wore her hair up in a stupid pony tail in a stupid strapless outfit so we'd all see the marks and think ahh she must be so zen and interesting to try Chinese medicine! If that hippie shit works then where the babies at, Jen? Shit, I'm bloated.

Siebel Global Deployment Guide > Overview of Global Deployments > Global Deployment Terminology >
This topic is part of Global Deployment Terminology.
The platform determines what data can be processed in a Siebel Business Applications deployment. The character set encoding and operating system language of a platform will determine what data can be handled correctly and what data will not be handled correctly by the platform.
This guide uses the term platform in several places to discuss deployment options as well as specific functionality available in Siebel Business Applications.
Siebel Business Applications generally do not support mixed character encoding environments. The reason is that it is not technically possible to manage an environment that uses multiple character set encodings on databases and servers without a genuine risk of losing data in the process.
For example, suppose a database is set up with a Western European character set encoding and a user tries to insert Japanese data through a Siebel Server set up for Japanese. Depending on the actual database, the effect could be that the user's data would be rejected and not stored in the database, or the data could get converted by the database and stored incorrectly as unreadable characters (substitution characters), resulting in loss of the original Japanese data.
Field Size Issues
In some cases, a user might try to enter data into the application and receive an error message saying that the language of the text entered "is not compatible with the database language" or that the length of the text entered "is bigger than the corresponding length allocated in the database."
Such an error might occur when the character set of the data does not match the character set of the database and cannot be converted without data loss. Or, the error might occur when the data string is too long to fit into the database column.
If you have an existing Siebel deployment and upgrade the database default character set to Unicode (any encoding), then all links to other information technology systems must be examined for compatibility. In many cases, data previously encoded in a traditional codepage will now be larger in terms of bytes, and could overflow the fields that are used for transfers. In such cases, Siebel Unicode data values will be truncated, especially if the data value is large enough to approach the maximum defined size of the field.
You must examine the field sizes in tables used by Siebel EAI or Siebel EIM, in any linking or replication software, and in any extension columns that have been added.
Depending on your existing code page, the languages and specific characters representing your data, and the Unicode encoding that you are migrating to, field sizes might need to be enlarged. In some scenarios, field sizes must be doubled.
Field Sizes by Database Platforms
When specifying new field sizes, be careful as to whether they must be given in bytes or in characters. Field size units will vary by the RDBMS vendor:
NOTE: For more information about using IBM DB2 for z/OS, see Implementing Siebel Business Applications on DB2 for z/OS and Siebel Database Upgrade Guide for DB2 for z/OS.
Considerations for Deployments Using Shift-JIS
The following are special considerations for Japanese-language deployments using Shift-JIS, which is also known as Code Page 932 (or 936 on DB2, or JA16SJIS on Oracle Database).
Limitation for Arabic and Numeric Fields
Although the Arabic language is supported, Arabic digits cannot be used in numeric fields in the Siebel Business Applications.

Atletico Madrid are keen to sign Spurs forward Roberto Soldado on loan but Tottenham would prefer to sell the Spaniard, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The former Valencia forward became the club's record signing when he joined in a £26m deal last summer but after a good start, the Spanish international tumbled down the pecking order.
Soldado scored four times in his first three appearances for Spurs but ended the season with just 11 goals as Emmanuel Adebayor and Harry Kane were picked ahead of him.
Atleti, who have lost Diego Costa to Chelsea this summer, are understood to be keen to sign Soldado on loan for the season, whereas Spurs would prefer to sell.
The 29-year-old has a good record in La Liga, having scored 101 league goals in 248 starts for Valencia, Getafe, Osasuna and Real Madrid.

South Africa's Carbon Tax In Effect From 2013
Lorys Charalambous, Tax-News.com, Cyprus
27 February, 2012
Within a white paper issued in October last year, the South African government reviewed its climate change policy, and the Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan has now, in his 2012 Budget, provided the proposed design for a carbon emissions tax.
In the white paper, the government gave its key carbon-emitting sectors, including energy and transport, two years, to October 2013, to finalize 'carbon budgets'. Those budgets should abide by the official objective that the country's greenhouse gas emissions should peak in the period from 2020 to 2025, remain stable for around a decade, and decline thereafter in absolute terms.
It was also pointed out that environmentally-related taxes would complement other policies to address climate change. The government has already introduced the electricity generation levy, motor vehicle emissions tax, a range of tax incentive measures to support renewable energy investments, and the proposed energy efficiency savings tax allowances.
As part of the process of exploring more comprehensive reforms for addressing South African climate change, the government published a carbon tax discussion paper in December 2010, which elaborated on the role for carbon taxes as a policy measure to stimulate behavioural changes among producers and consumers in favour of less energy intensive, lower-carbon emitting alternatives.
Following that public consultation, the government has revised the proposed design features for a carbon tax, which will now include a percentage-based rather than absolute emissions thresholds, below which the tax will not be payable; a higher tax-free threshold; additional relief for trade-exposed sectors; and the use of offsets by companies to reduce their carbon tax liability.
There would be a phased implementation of the tax, which will apply to carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions calculated using agreed methods. A basic tax-free threshold of 60% (with additional concession for process emissions and for trade-exposed sectors) and maximum offset percentages of 5% or 10% until 2019/20 are proposed.
Additional relief will also be considered for firms that reduce their carbon intensity during this first phase. The reduction in carbon intensity will be measured with reference to a base year or industry benchmark.
The tax-free thresholds will be reduced during the second phase (2020 to 2025) and may be replaced with absolute emission thresholds thereafter. Alignment with the proposed carbon budgets as per the national climate change response white paper will be important in that respect.
A carbon tax at ZAR120 (USD15.60) per ton of CO2e above the suggested thresholds is proposed to take effect during 2013/14, with annual increases of 10% until 2019/20.
It is not proposed that revenues from the tax will be earmarked, but consideration will be given to spending the funds thereby collected to address environmental concerns. Incentives such as the proposed energy-efficiency tax incentive and measures to assist low-income households will be supported.
The government will be publishing a second version of its draft policy paper on carbon tax, outlining its revised concept, later this year.
In addition, as a further element of its environmental policies, the 2012 Budget also increased the electricity levy generated from non-renewable sources by 1 cent per kWh to 3.5 cents per kWh. The additional revenue will be used to fund energy-efficiency initiatives, such as the solar water heater programme.
It was said that it will replace the current funding mechanism that is incorporated into Eskom's annual tariff application. It will enhance transparency and enable the government to use alternative agencies to deliver on energy efficiency initiatives, and its net impact on electricity tariffs should be neutral..

Another reason I like gun shows is that they provide some price validation. For example, I've been looking for an early 1911 - 2nd & 3rd year production (mfg-1912 is just to expensive for me). So, at the last gun shows I saw several ranging from 1914 - 1918. One guy was asking $2,300 for a year-1918 Commercial; very little bluing left. I asked him "how much" he said his price and explained that he knew it was quite high, but asked me to make a counter. Given the condition I might have offered in the $1,000 range, but that wouldn't have been perceived well by the seller, and I'm not looking to get into a haggling war of make someone feel bad about their gun, so I said "I'll think about it" and just walked away.
What this did, however, is tell me what folks are wanting to get to part with these early 1911's. Sure, I've been scouring gunbroker and other sites checking prices. But, seeing one in person while talking to the owner, getting his thoughts and impressions on where he might be willing to part with the gun, was valuable to me. So, when I found a 1911 mfg-1913 in fairly decent condition (still waiting delivery) for $1,200, I snapped it up. It's probably a fair price for what it is in today's market, but next year it will be a 100 year old 1911, and I will appreciate it that much more. Yes, I'm a bit of a freak about manufacturing dates and 1st production runs - it's just my thing.

For the deeper stuff, I don't think it is appropriate to put your personal feelings on public display. Besides, most people are already quite sure they have the "correct" answer to the really meaningful questions, making other people's opinions of no consequence to them. I can only point out that the answers all these good folk are so sure about are often markedly different from each other, so it would appear that a great many people have unshakable confidence in something that is not quite the truth.
I'll confine my comments to the world that I know best; the art of playing games and teaching others.

Aung San Suu Kyi begins new campaign for democracy
The barrier breached, they surged forward, past the sign saying "Restricted Area", speeding to a trot, the joy of the moment manifested in little leaps, air punches and laughter.
Two hundred yards down University Avenue, on the right, was her house, a tatty fence, grey metal gate, the red sign of her National League for Democracy (NLD) party, a portrait of her heroic father, General Aung San.
They thronged around her gate, hundreds of them, holding aloft their portraits of their leader, some with little playing card-sized pictures they may have kept hidden in their pockets for years. "Long Live Aung San Suu Kyi!" they chanted. Then suddenly there she was. The crowd leapt to its feet as if a cup-winning goal had been scored. "May Suu, May Suu!" "Mother Suu!" they roared, affection overwhelming their usual reverence.
Rangoon was a place where history was made on Saturday afternoon when the Burmese democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi was released after seven years of detention in her own home. After a further morning of speculation as to whether she would actually be set free, police suddenly removed the barriers on the street outside her home and, moments later, she was standing at her fence, wearing a lilac jacket and beaming excitedly at the crowds in front of her.
She was delicate and calm, her head and shoulders above the metal spikes of the gate, presumably standing on a ladder behind it. Her hand briefly reached up to touch her swept-up hair, checking it was in place. She smiled and nodded, made a victory sign with her right hand.
Minutes passed, the crowd was torn between yelling her name and wanting to hear her voice. Her fingers on lips, then there was quiet. "There is a time for silence and a time for talking," she told the cheering supporters gathered at the gates of her lakeside compound, for so long a place that was off-limits to ordinary citizens. "We should work together, united. Only then can we achieve our goal."
There were then more cries followed by further appeals for quiet.
"Tomorrow at 12 o'clock I will meet you at Shwegondine," she said referring to the small headquarters of the National League for Democracy. "Can you let everyone know?" There was laughter and delight at the joke, and she laughed too.
"Very happy, very happy!" said two men in the crowd, which had earlier created a passage to allow three cinnamon-robed monks to reach the front so that the democracy leader could pay obeisance to them when she appeared. One of those at the front of the crowd was the British ambassador Andrew Heyn, elated along with everyone else. Many had their hands in the air, holding up mobile phones to click a photograph of their heroine. "This is a great day, long overdue," yelled Britain's representative.
Across Burma and around the world, the reaction to her release after so many years of isolation was both rapid and euphoric. President Barack Obama said the Nobel laureate was his hero and that the US welcomed "her long overdue release". David Cameron said Ms Suu Kyi was "an inspiration for all of us who believe in freedom of speech, democracy and human rights". It was reported that the opposition leader had spoken by phone to at least one of her two sons, one of many things that has been denied to her these past seven years.
But campaigners also warned that while her release was hugely welcomed, it did not necessarily mark a point of change for Burma. More than 2,200 other political prisoners remain behind bars; recently held parliamentary elections were rigged and skewed in favour of the military's proxy, the Union Solidarity and Democracy Party. It is even possible Ms Suu Kyi could be arrested again, as she was on three other occasions after being released by the junta. On her last release in 2002, she herself declared: "My release should not be looked at as a major breakthrough for democracy. For all people in Burma to enjoy basic freedom, that would be a major breakthrough."
Campaigners say the junta has shown no interest in recent years in entering into dialogue with her or her party. Indeed, when she was due for release last year, the authorities seized on the now infamous incident in which an uninvited American swam to her house and she was accused of breaching the terms of her detention. Sentenced to a further 18 months in jail, she was neatly prevented from playing any part in the recent election, which her party boycotted. "It's the proverbial one step forward on a 1,000-mile journey," said her international lawyer, Jared Genser, head of the Freedom Now organisation.
Precisely what conditions the authorities seek to place upon Ms Suu Kyi may emerge in the coming days. Previously, she has been prohibited from leaving Rangoon, or forced to register with the army whenever she intends to go out of the city. But she has always defied such restrictions, and in the days and weeks before her term of detention officially expired last night at 7pm local time, she had made clear she would accept none.
In 2000, she spent six days in her car at a military roadblock after being stopped from leaving Rangoon, the standoff ending only when she was put back under house arrest. After her release in 2002, Ms Suu Kyi and her party travelled the country. In May 2003, her convoy was attacked by a government mob and more than 70 of her supporters were killed. The authorities then detained her again, "for her own protection".
For all the excitement in Burma, many remain deeply concerned about the future. "We feel powerless now, more than ever," said Ma Thida, 32, a health worker in Rangoon. "The government is releasing her because they think they have won the election and can control her and the country completely. How can she do anything?"
Some worry, too, that Ms Suu Kyi, 65, will be out of touch with the mood and problems of her country after her long years in detention, cut off from the world. Certainly, the Rangoon Ms Suu Kyi will find is very different from the city she last saw more than seven years ago.
The colonial city is no longer the seat of government. In 2005, following the advice of his astrologer, Burma's famously superstitious senior general Than Shwe abruptly abandoned Rangoon and moved the capital to a newly built complex in the country's arid central plains. The old ministries are now abandoned shells, left to crumble with much of the rest of the decaying city centre. Ringing the city are the impoverished suburbs, home to hundreds of thousands of jobless rural immigrants, living in bamboo shacks without electricity or running water.
But in her own, affluent district of Kamayut she will also see new internet cafés, fashionable bars and coffee shops, delis and gem shops to service the wealthy elite. In the streets near University Avenue, on the banks of Inya Lake, she will notice dozens of new and gaudy neo-classical mansions, the homes of Burma's cronies. They stand in sharp contrast to her own mouldering villa, which she has barely been able to afford to maintain during her years in captivity.
One thing she may not recognise is the strange yellow, green and red flag fluttering on the police post on the corner of her street; without consultation or warning, the military introduced a new national flag last month.
As darkness fell on Saturday night, the city was charged with energy. Ms Suu Kyi was back inside her home. She had spent some of the evening with her closest colleagues, among them her lawyer Nyan Win, party veteran U Win Tin and U Win Htein, a former political prisoner who spent 14 years in jail.
After returned from the meeting, U Win Htein said: "She was delighted to have been released and she was grateful for the crowds that greeted her. She said she was very eager to continue her work."
They were her colleagues, but last night they were also her guests. The house on University Avenue, the place that for so long has been her prison, was one again just her home.
Political prisoners: 'We must not forget the 2,202 still held'
Campaigners last night called on the Burmese authorities to set free more than 2,200 other political prisoners who remain in the country's jails.
Unlike Aung San Suu Kyi's release in 2002, her freedom has not come as part of a broader initiative for dialogue with the authorities. Indeed, some believe the release of the 65-year-old was nothing less than a publicity stunt to distract attention from a fraudulent recent election and the prisoners still behind bars. "The release of Aung San Suu Kyi is about public relations, not democratic reform," said Zoya Phan of the Burma Campaign UK, which issued a report entitled "1 Down, 2,202 To Go". "We must not forget the thousands of other political prisoners still suffering in Burma's jails."
Many of those were arrested after the September 2007 uprising when tens of thousands of ordinary people and Buddhist monks took to the streets in demonstrations that started as protests against price rises and spread to include demands for democracy. Among those detained are U Gambira, a 30-year-old monk and a leader of the protests, who is serving a 63-year sentence; Min Ko Naing, a former student leader serving a 65-year term; and Nay Phone Latt, a 30-year-old blogger serving a 12-year sentence, who used the internet to spread news of the protests.
Amnesty International said last night of the remaining prisoners: "They are held in grim conditions, with inadequate food and sanitation. Many are in poor health and do not receive proper medical treatment. Many were tortured during their initial interrogation, and still risk torture as a punishment at the hands of prison officers."

Car won from casino still undelivered
Woman claims she was taxed $134,000 for Aston Martin she never got
Don Bauder 3 p.m., Nov. 23
San Diego-based Utility Consumers' Action Network (UCAN), a watchdog organization focusing on public utilities, is talking possible merger with San Francisco-based The Utility Reform Network (TURN).
Neither Michael Shames, executive director of UCAN, nor Mark Toney, executive director of TURN, would comment. However, a person who has been very close to the top of UCAN for years says that the merger has been discussed among board members for a long time, although he doesn't know that actual negotiations are going on now.
Members of the UCAN staff have been forced to sign a document indicating that they will not discuss the possible merger. However, I was able to get confirmation from some, and they say that negotiations are ongoing. UCAN staff members are fearful that the combined organization would be based in San Francisco, and most if not all UCAN employees would lose their jobs. Presumably, Shames would remain in San Diego and work for TURN. I have also confirmed that Shames has told board members that UCAN might have to be shut down.
This comes among turmoil at UCAN. Inside whistleblowers have officially complained about a number of problems. One is that Shames lists himself as an attorney but has been an inactive member of the state bar since 1988. Another is whether Shames has adequately disclosed that he makes ten percent of intervenor fees that UCAN gathers from participating in California Public Utilities Commission cases. The UCAN board hired an attorney to study these matters and others.
I will have a lengthier report on UCAN woes in an upcoming column.
I interviewed with UCAN out of college, and the pay was pathetic, close to minium wage and I passed even though I would have oved to work there.
Then I saw that one of our former city council members was hired by them - cannot recall who it was-at an astronomical salary!
MAN was I GLAD I passed on that low life outfit.
I have always supported Michael Shames and UCAN's mission. It truly bothers me to report on these very serious problems. I will have more. Best, Don Bauder

germs666 - 8 years ago
look around in the area for climable walls, or rooms which may contain a lever. Also look for anything that glows/sparkles, as you can interact with those objects. (either with O or by attacking them)
Werdnae - 8 years ago
when you reach the save point inside the crypt you will encounter a hell soldier, and when fighting you'll eventually destroy the wall near the hell soldier. After killing him go and turn left, there you will find a chest with red orbs. After opening it go back to the hole you created but don't go back inside, instead go near the edge and hug the wall. You will see Kratos will sidle or hug the wall and do some lara croft imitation style. Just continue until you reach the other side and destroy the wall again and pull the lever that will appear. Then I'll leave it to you on how to progress further into the game

Trust in the police
'I do believe that it is vital for public trust and confidence that the police co-operate fully with those investigations'
Sir, Your report "Scotland Yard keeps quiet about thousands of crimes" (Mar 10), quotes me as saying, "I can't answer that" in response to a question on how the experience of cases at the IPCC had affected my level of trust in the police. I went on to say that the reason I couldn't answer was because "We see the worst of policing. We see cases where things either have gone wrong or are said to have gone wrong. We are not in a place to make an overall judgment about policing. It would be quite wrong to make a judgment on the basis of things that seem to have gone wrong."
But, as I said in the interview, I do believe that it is…

VENICE, FL. - The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office has arrested two people in connection with a string of vehicle and residential burglaries Saturday morning on Olympia Road in Venice.
After receiving one report of a burglary, deputies responding to the call located a male and a female matching the description of the suspects. During their investigation deputies identified additional burglary victims at four homes on Olympia Road.
The suspects were identified as 19-year-old Mackenzie Egeland and 22-year-old Brittiany DuPuis. During questioning, the pair was initially cooperative, but DuPuis became agitated and Egeland grew hostile, throwing a chair which damaged the drywall in the interview room and kicking a door. DuPuis later told detectives the pair had been smoking "spice," also known as synthetic marijuana.
Both suspects are charged with 6 felonies, including 4 counts of Vehicle Burglary, 1 count of Residential Burglary and 1 count of Attempted Residential Burglary. Egeland is also charged with Criminal Mischief for damaging Sarasota County property.

Nothing gets the weight off quicker than a car company chasing the best fuel economy. Until recently, cars were like a sweet-tooth in a lolly shop, greedy for more and failing to heed a burgeoning paunch.
Now, like a sadistic personal trainer, the threat of excessive fuel thirst means the weight has to come off. Mitsubishi carved more than 100kg off its new Outlander and though it lost a few centimetres in length, created an SUV that has a much larger cabin, more equipment and an improved safety package.
Even its base model gets it all. Losing weight hurts - in this case the pain is that the newest Outlander is subjectively less attractive than the old model - but it's possible.
Mitsubishi fires the front-wheel drive, manual gearbox Outlander with its 2-litre petrol engine right amongst its rivals. At $28,990 this base-model is affordable, spacious, economical and well equipped but you'll need to add $2250 for the auto.
Disappointingly, there's no seven-seat option and no diesel in this model. Resale demand is strong with a 51 per cent retained value after three years and the capped-price service is a reasonable $340 a year for the first four years.
Standard gear includes rear park sensors, Bluetooth with hands-free phone service, six-speaker audio, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, climate control air-conditioning and a full-size spare wheel.
At 4655mm long this is the biggest front-drive SUV in its class, 100mm longer than the next longest, the Honda CR-V. But rear park sensors and its square silhouette don't make it a hard car to park while the size rewards with a spacious cabin.
But it's not the most stylish SUV on the block with a conservative plumpness - a return to its 2003 roots - at odds with the sharp lines of the RAV4, for example. The Outlander's dash is, however, refreshing. Soft materials, easy-to-read and use switchgear, a good driving position and the sense of space make it a comfortable car.
The single lift-up hatch isn't as handy as the old model's horizontally split tailgate. The spare wheel is carried in a under-chassis cradle so its access doesn't disturb any luggage.
The 2-litre engine is a single-overhead cam design - rivals are all twin-cam - and has been around for a while, though from last year adds an improved valve train. At 110kW/190Nm it's on par with rivals and claims 7L/100km, beaten only by the miserly Mazda CX-5.
Sparing fuel is helped by the Outlander's "Eco Drive" mode that prompts the driver to watch a dashboard score chart. The five-speed manual is one cog less than rivals - though drivers may appreciate the omission - and electric steering is now standard.
The Outlander is externally smaller and significantly lighter - up to 100kg - than the old model yet the cargo bed is 340mm longer at 1690mm.
It gets a five-star rating, has seven airbags and all the normal electronic aids. It also has hill-start assist - appreciated in the manual version - and reverse sensors. The Outlander has a full-size spare wheel.
From the expansive cabin, you wouldn't guess this is the entry-level Outlander. The dash looks and feels quality and leather trim to the steering wheel and gear knob add class. The petrol engine is quiet and its delivery smooth and tractable from low revs.
It's no powerhouse but even with three adults aboard it gets along without fuss. Ride comfort is one of the best in its class and road noise is relatively low, more than likely because of the less-expensive high-profile tyres.
Fuel-saving electric-assist steering isn't as precise as some others, especially through quick corners, but you get used to it. Better is its touring ability. The ride quality and the leisurely engine make it lope along with ease at 100km/h.
Fuel use on test was 8.2L/100km, not bad for predominantly city and suburban driving. However, the auto is more fuel efficient (6.6L/100km compared with manual Outlander's official 7.0L/100km) and the idea choice for suburbia.
Despite its price, it's not low rent and offers lots of room for the bucks. Want more space? CR-V has even more cabin room.

With the spring of 1987 came Ms. Ida's dream. It began with little more than a huge heart and the passion to help people she met on her walks through the neighborhood. In the fall of 1988 that dream took shape as Bluffton Self Help was officially chartered, and since then BSH has morphed into a reality bigger than she might ever imagine.
In June 2011, BSH's new Executive Director, Lili Coleman, was convinced that Ms. Ida's dream was big enough to share with the President. With strong board approval, the nomination was submitted for the Presidential Citizens Award. The first indication that Mrs. Martin was in the running arrived in July when a call came to the agency from the White House. "The White House was calling! We cheered with excitement, whispering amongst ourselves that she had a chance.
Ida Martin was advised by the staff in a phone call that if she received a call from them… it was definitely a legitimate call!"
After a few more phone calls during the summer, we didn't hear anything again until late September. More questions and information about Bluffton Self Help was provided to the White House staff. In October, while planning the grand opening, we emailed the White House for an update. Within hours,a short email from the White House contact read, "call me." With bated breathe, we called. She was one of the recipients and she was on her way to the White House!
Download the entire story here of Ida's journey to the White House, as told by Lili Coleman, BSH Executive Director.
Ms. Ida's commitment to serve continues to capture the hearts of many in our local community. In 2012, Ms. Ida has been recognized in the following ways:
Ms. Ida co-honored at the Hilton Head Bluffton Chamber of Commerce sharing the covenant Alice Glenn Doughtie Citizenship Award with Betsy Doughtie of Deep Well.
Ms. Ida becomes first woman and living honoree to be inducted into the Town of Bluffton Wall of Honor for her outstanding contribution to the Bluffton Community.
Ms. Ida is honored with the presentation of a oil on canvas mural depicting her life of service by local artist Michael McClendon, who, after learning about her was compelled to paint her story.

Elven Legacy - Ranger, Siege & Magic Reviews @ VGBlogger
Our own Mike Anderson has penned reviews of all three Elven Legacy expansions for VGBlogger. The pros and cons are broadly similar for each and the result across all three is "buy it" recommendation. Links and a sample from the first...
Many folks I spoke to had issues with the overall difficulty of the original (as well as disliking the time limits), and they should be happy that Ranger makes things a bit more approachable. You will still often require more than one attempt to complete a mission, but things have definitely been dialed back. Well … except for the beginning, since as I mentioned you start the game alone and can easily get killed if take the wrong approach. You really need to stop and think before making choices - get the lay of the land, then start your turns.
Elven Legacy: Ranger does what it is supposed to do: smooths out the wrinkles of the original game somewhat, adds on new content and characters, and provides a good sized campaign at a decent price. As an added bonus, all of the little decisions you get to make can result in significantly different repeated playthroughs. So if you enjoyed the original game by all means grab this now! You won't regret it!

Hammond Organ Hard-Bop with Horns, Portland Style
Hammond Organist Steve Hall graduated from Berklee College of Music and is a West Coast jazz veteran of more than 40 years. The Steve Hall Trio was formed in 2001, but was recently upgraded to a quintet. Well into his accomplished career, The Steve Hall Quintet serves as Hall's first major release as leader.
This untitled CD comes in a sleek but unimaginative package: a web address across the spine, a simple sans-serif font and no picture. It would appear The Steve Hall Quintet was intended just as a no-frills promotional tool, not that there's anything wrong with that. But as it turns out, there is much more to The Steve Hall Quintet than meets the eye.
Hall's quintet is rounded-out by proficient Portland players. Trumpeter and native Texan, Richard Watson studied under Don "Jake" Jacoby, a veteran player with Tommy Dorsey and Les Brown. Pete Schwimmer's guitar-work occasionally belies his other musical pursuit: bluegrass banjo and mandolin. The stellar "What You Say To That?" makes full use of this effect. Saxophonist Cal Hudson does justice to Coltrane's "Moment's Notice" with a pronounced, lyrical tone. He turns in a strong solo, then hands-off to Jacoby and Schwimmer, each exhibiting a proficient bop sensibility. Kenny Morse's drumbeats propel the others forward, particularly with his imaginative fills and turn-arounds.
Seven of these twelve tunes are Hall originals, inspired by the hard-bop likes of Horace Silver, Charles Earland and the Jazz Messengers. The other five are well-loved standards by Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, DeLange/VanHeusen, Horace Silver himself, and Wayne Shorter.
The first track, original "On a Scale of One to Five," takes right off with standard organ-led hard bop fare. The song format is pretty well-defined, a conscious decision with nostalgic effect. The next original, "Blue Sky and Black Coffee" brings to mind Hall's Pacific Northwest surroundings. The quintet preserves Thelonious Monk's unique composed spontaneity on "Monk's Dream," and features several brilliant solos. "Rasta Turtle" features a smooth but funky organ timbre, complimented by a nice horn arrangement. Schwimmer's staccato chord-comping sets up more nice solos.
Composers Eddie DeLange and Jimmy Van Heusen's sentimental "Darn that Dream" is often considered the low-point of Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool, but Hall brings it alive in a brand-new musical context, thankfully sans vocal. These five bandmates demonstrate a full dynamic-range and sense of timing, from the groovy ballad "Thursday Strut" to the off-beat blues and reggae infused "Steamy Night Shuffle."
Hall's organ sounds are pleasing and full-bodied throughout. The CD is well enough recorded, though it bears a somewhat stilted studio sound. The musicians' personal timbres are well represented and differentiated (possibly from overdubs). Unfortunately, the rhythm section tends to sound overly compressed and the horn tracks can turn thin and remote at times. It's a matter of taste, but some purists may wish for an "all in a room for one live take" quality.
By and large, The Steve Hall Quintet is a high-quality, sincere effort by life-long musicians with even more potential. Despite any minor flaws typical to independent artists on a limited budget, there are more than enough inspired moments to justify this purchase. Recommended listening, especially to fans of organ-led bop.
For more hard bop organ trio music, check out this month's review of The Hook Up by The Kyle Asche Organ Trio (with special guest Scott Burns).

Keeping a muzzleloader tradition alive
BOWMANSTOWN - Never mind the Weather Channel, the forecast is for cloudy skies Sunday in the Bowmanstown area.
In fact, during most of the year, that is the forecast for the area the second Sunday of the month.
More specifically, the clouds are seen above Bowmanstown Rod and Gun Club, where the First Frontier Militia Muzzleloader Club produces those white, billowy clouds with the smoke from their muzzleloader firearms.
Since 1978, from March through December, traditional muzzleloader shoots are held for rifles and smoothbores - and sometimes pistols - flintlock and percussion firearms.
With some sections of the firing line under cover, shooters can find protection from both the summer sun and rain.
Shooting gets underway at 9 a.m., and with the majority of the matches, which are shot at 25 and 50 yards, being five-shot reentry events, usually ends between 3:30 and 4 p.m.
Two of the most popular events are the over-the-log match, which is shot from the prone position, and the 12-shot primitive match - which is one and done - at novelty targets placed at unknown distances between 20 to 100 yards.
Overseeing - and also competing - at these events is Roger Fisher, who exchanges the business attire appropriate for his insurance agency in Lehighton for garb that was typically worn in Colonial America.
He helped organize First Frontier Militia in 1976, when matches were held at Palmerton Rod and Gun Club, when the celebration of America's Bicentennial helped renew the interest in shooting and hunting with muzzleloader firearms.
Not surprisingly, Pennsylvania - the home of the rifle builders who produced the Pennsylvania Rifles that helped protect and feed those who settled the continent - was at the forefront of the new interest in muzzleloaders.
This led to the formation of the Pennsylvania Federation of Black Powder Shooters, an organization of muzzleloader clubs, which currently counts First Frontier Militia among its 30 members.
"I didn't begin shooting muzzleloaders until we started the club, but I've been shooting them since then," Fisher said.
"Right now, we have 31 members in the club, and we average about 25 shooters for a monthly day shoot, and usually four or five dress in primitive attire.
"Since the very beginning, we've been holding our shoots the second Sunday of the month, so that's been cut in stone. Most shoot the 25- and 50-yard matches, but the chunk (over-the-log) match and primitive range are both popular.
"Most of the regulars usually bring their lunch, but we usually have something available for those who need. We mostly try to keep everything informal and give it the feeling of what shooting matches were like in Colonial times."
Located on Gun Club Road between the Parryville and Bowmanstown exits of Route 248, newcomers are directed to the club by shoot signs along the way. All shoots are open to both members and nonmembers of Bowmanstown Rod and Gun Club and the First Frontier Militia.
In addition to Sunday's match, other Sunday matches scheduled this year at First Frontier Militia are August 14, September 11, October 9, November 13 and December 11.
For information about future events, call Roger Fisher at 610-377-2812.
