It's been nine years since the release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," the concluding installment in Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning J.R.R. Tolkien trilogy. In movie terms, that might not seem quite so long ago, but when it comes to the light-speed at which movie-making technology advances, it might as well be a lifetime.
Which explains why, when "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" opens in theaters Dec. 14, audiences will see a more intricately rendered Gollum, the motion-capture creation memorably brought to the screen by actor Andy Serkis, according to Jackson.
"Gollum certainly benefits from a much more intricate muscle system," Jackson said. "Obviously with a CGI character you're building a character in much the same way as a real creature is built. You build the bones, the skeletons, the muscles. You put layers of fat on. You put a layer of skin on which has to have a translucency depending on what the character is."
PHOTOS: 60 images from 'The Hobbit'
"Gollum is a much more sophisticated performer now than he was 10 years ago," Jackson continued, though he made a point to note that the creature, disfigured by his own dark obsession, will still seem quite familiar. "We've deliberately made him look the same. I really wanted 'The Hobbit' to very much have a consistency with the first three movies."
Jackson spoke with Hero Complex contributor John Horn at Comic-Con International in July, just before announcing that the two-film adaptation of "The Hobbit" would become a trilogy. Watch the second part of their conversation above, and look for a third installment Thursday.
In this segment of the interview, the filmmaker discussed the changing nature of visual effects and how the advances in technology offer him new creative freedoms as a storyteller.
"Anything you can imagine you can put on film," Jackson said.
Jackson, of course, has employed a groundbreaking, though controversial, new technology for his latest Tolkien films, shooting the productions in a revolutionary 48-frames-per-second-format — a new projection technique that's designed to offer viewers a hyper-realistic "immersive" experience.
Hero Complex will host a free IMAX screening of Jackson's highly anticipated fantasy epic on Dec. 11, at 7 p.m. at the AMC Burbank 16 & IMAX — three days before the movie's official release.
To RSVP for the screening, log on to latimes.com/hobbit starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4; RSVPs will close as soon as the screening is full.

The Grateful Dead Archive celebrated its grand opening, June 29, 2012, with a concert by famed Bay Area band Moonalice on the lawn of UC Santa Cruz's McHenry Library. The Library is home to the Archive, the Brittingham Family Foundation Dead Central, our dedicated exhibit space, and now, the Grateful Dead ArchiveOnline, or GDAO, our website that enables patrons from around the world to participate in building the Archive and access digital images of thousands of the Archive's treasures.
Visitors to the Library can now see our inaugural exhibition, "A Box of Rain: Archiving the Grateful Dead Phenomenon," curated by Archivist Nicholas Meriwether, featuring a wide array of remarkable art, artifacts, and memorabilia that the band and more than 100 donors have contributed, and researchers will also be able to access processed materials from the Archive in the Library's Special Collections Reading Room.
"It's been a labor of love," Meriwether commented recently, "and that labor will continue for many years as we process more of the Archive and secure additional materials, but we are excited to celebrate the milestone of the opening of the Archive and our website, GDAO, for researchers and the public."
Congratulations to Robin Chandler, Kevin Clarke, Sue Perry, Bryn Kanar, Christine Bunting, Maureen Carey, and their teams, who worked with Meriwether to process the physical and digital materials comprising the Archive and the website, and to the many donors who pitched in to support the Archive and help it fulfill its mission to create a first-rate scholarly repository that will allow researchers to study this remarkable phenomenon.
More On GDAO
Since the announcement of the gift in April 2008, UC Santa Cruz has been working diligently to curate the band's incredible trove of materials. Processing continues as we drill deeper into the band's gift and secure additional materials from donors. A related component of this effort is the creation of an online archive that showcases thousands of images, artifacts and materials drawn from the Archive. This innovative website also allows users to upload their own content and comment on Archive materials in a ground-breaking, socially-constructed website devoted to the Grateful Dead phenomenon.
The items presented online in GDAO represent the individual and collective creativity of the band, artists, photographers and fans. UCSC has worked hard to identify and contact rights holders to let them know about our online project, which is designed to support scholarship; we have had great success in locating dozens of artists, photographers, creators and rights holders who have granted us a license to display their works in GDAO. The license we use does not limit the creators or rights holders in any way: it only gives us non-exclusive permission to display scans on the site, which is a strictly not-for-profit, educational, scholarly effort. When we know who holds the rights to an image, and they have given us permission, we have incorporated that information in the metadata accompanying each work displayed. The Copyright Information and/or Copyright Statements displayed represents our best efforts to locate and secure that permission.
In some cases it has been impossible to identify and make contact with rights holders. For some materials, we are displaying the works on GDAO to enlist the aid of the community to help us identify and find rights holders we were unable to contact. If you have additional—or conflicting—information about an item you see in GDAO, and/or information about the copyright holder, please contact us at email@example.com and let us know. With your help, we can create a superb destination for fans, researchers, and scholars interested in understanding the mysteries and wonder of the Grateful Dead phenomenon. The long strange trip continues—thanks to you all.

|Mother Monica
Family members that traveled the great distance to Port Arthur to mark the occasion were; Capt. John Manley (brother-in-law) of Merritton, Rev. Thomas Manley (nephew) of Toronto, John Flynn (brother) of St. Catharines, and the Misses; Caroline Sulkie and Jennie Flynn (nieces) of Niagara Falls, NY.
These family members presented Mother Monica with a stained glass window for the Hospital Chapel with the dates 1875-1925 and engraved with the words ''A Memorial of the Golden Jubilee of Mother Monica erected by her loving relatives''. I have tried to locate this window but it seems that it has been ''lost''. Maybe a casualty of the 1958 demolition of the original buildings.
Illuminated Address
|Illuminated Address
To the Rev. Mother Monica, St. Joseph's Hospital, Port Arthur, Ont.
Dear Mother Monica:
On this the Golden Jubilee of your entrance into the service of your Church and remembering that for more than forty years of this period you have lived in Port Arthur the City Council cannot allow the occasion to pass without an expression of its esteem and deep appreciation of the services you have rendered during these years.
Coming to what was then known as Prince Arthur's Landing you experienced the hardships of pioneer days; you have since shared with the community its adversities and its prosperity and have seen its continuous growth from the small settlement to the modern city.
St. Joseph's Hospital which you were instrumental in founding in 1881 and whose affairs you have so ably directed and administered, has kept pace with the progress of the city, until to-day, with its commodious buildings and modern equipment, it ranks with the leading hospitals of the dominion, and will always stand as a monument to your untiring efforts and fidelity of purpose. We now have the General Hospital and the McKellar Hospital at Fort William; but St. Joseph's Hospital is the only standardized hospital between Toronto and Winnipeg, and Port Arthur is justly proud of it.
Your life in our midst has been one of unselfish devotion to the care of the sick and suffering, and, by your thoughtfulness,your kindliness and your solicitude, at all times for those in distress, you have endeared yourself to the hearts of all with whom you come in contact.
That you may be spared for some years in health and strength to enjoy the fruits of your labors, and the homage of your many friends, is the sincere wish of our citizens.
Daily News Chronicle, Port Arthur, May 21, 1925 summarizing the celebrations;
Nun's Fifty Years of Noble Work Honored by Jubilee
Venerable Mother Monica of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Superior of St. Joseph's Hospital, Port Arthur, Remembered By Popular Rejoicing
The land of the "Sleeping Giant," where the "Great Manitou" guards the dark mysterious waters of Thunder Bay and Lake Superior, was the scene of a joyous and most extraordinary event on Wednesday, May 6, at St. Andrew's beautiful new church, and St. Joseph's Hospital, Port Arthur, when Rev. Mother M. Monica, formerly Mary Flynn, daughter of the late Thomas Flynn, of Merritton, Ont., and Rev. Mother M. Vincent, daughter of the late Joseph Carroll, of St. Catharines, Ont., celebrated their golden jubilee as Sisters of St. Joseph. A remarkable civic tribute was given to Mother Monica during the afternoon and evening, by the people of Port Arthur and Fort William, in recognition of her great work in building St. Joseph's Hospital.
Good Works Praised
High Mass was celebrated on Tuesday, May 5, in St. Andrew's Church, Right Rev. Bishop Scollard, Sault St. Marie, officiating, assisted by Fathers Batterton, Byrne and Monahan, of Fort William, and Father Manley, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Toronto. Rev. Father Cox, of St. Andrew's, delivered a touching and impressive sermon on the fifty years of service that Mother Monica and Mother Vincent had given to Port Arthur – one in healing the sick and erecting a beautiful hospital, and the other in establishing the first Catholic school, and in teaching the children of the North Shore. "It is a very wonderful record," said Father Cox, "and our Jesuit Fathers who have worked with the good Sisters, will always hold that these two women were the greatest benefactresses the Catholic Church has ever had at the head of the Great Lakes."
Friends and Relatives Present
Among many religious present were: Rev. Mother Carmelite, Superior of St. Joseph's, Peterborough; Rev. Mothers Vincent and St. Bridget, Pembroke; and the Rev. Mothers of St. Joseph's and the "Orphanage" of Fort William and Port Arthur. Other guests from a distance, relatives of Mother Monica, were Captain John Manley, of Toronto; Mr. John Flynn, of Merritton, and the Misses Caroline M. Sulkie and Jennie M. Flynn, of Niagara Falls, N.Y.
Presentations at Civic Celebration
Wednesday afternoon at a most impressive civic celebration in honor of Mother Monica, as Foundress and head of St. Joseph's Hospital, addresses and presentations were made by Mayor J.D. Crooks and the City Council of Port Arthur, the Thunder Bay Medical Association, the Nurses' Alumnae Association, the Port Arthur Rotary Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the Ladies' Aid Society of St. Joseph's Hospital, the Jesuit Fathers of the North Shore, the parishes of Fort William and Westport, and the St. Andrew's School children of Port Arthur. Besides these, many beautiful golden gifts, and a purse of $6,000 were presented to Mother Monica by the people of Port Arthur and Fort William. The Jesuit Fathers through Rev. Father Cox gave a beautiful address and a basket of gold coins.
Father Manley Responds For Jubilarian
The Rev. Father Manley, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Toronto, and nephew of Mother Monica, made a feeling response for the Jubilarian, and thanked the citizens of Port Arthur and Fort William for the whole-hearted cooperation given to Mother Monica during her long years of work in Port Arthur. "Mother Monica cut herself off from her own people and came to you many years ago," said Father Manley. "She adopted Port Arthur. We, her people from the East, have seen to-day by this immense gathering, this great outpouring of friendship and appreciation from every group of civic life, what Mother Monica means to the citizens of Port Arthur and Fort William, and we thank you for it."
Bishop Scollard's Address
Rt. Rev. D.J. Scollard, Bishop of Sault Ste. Marie, presided at the civic celebration and addressed the large audience, taking as his text "Charity is patient; charity is kind, charity is not ambitious, and envieth not: In explaining the difference between charity done for the pure love of God and worldly charity, His Lordship said; "I have known philanthropists who have forced their wives into the Divorce Court; I have known prominent men exalted by the world for their generosity, who were unfair to their fellow-men in their business dealing. The difference lies in the heart that thinks only of God, gives up everything for God; and with true humility, seeks only His great glory. This was the ambition of these pioneer women of the North Shore – to hold through the humility of the teachings of their Community, that blessed charity made plain to men though the Great Apostle of the World. You who have known Mother Monica for the past forty years or more know that she held ever in her heart the teachings of the Great Apostle; know that all races, all creeds were brought within a radiant glow of kindness and love; that because of these things God has blessed her life-work with success."
Something About Mother Monica
Mary Flynn, Mother Monica, the venerable Jubilarian, was born on February 23, 1851, at Merritton, Ontario, one of nine children, the daughter of Thomas and Cecelia Reynolds Flynn, who emigrated from Cavan, Ireland, about a century ago, and settled first in Schenectady, N.Y., before moving to Ontario. Mary Flynn entered St. Joseph's Community, Toronto on May 6, 1875, and received the name Sister Monica. On August 21, 1881, on the request of Right Rev. Bishop Jamot for volunteers "to go away up North," she left Toronto for Prince Arthur's Landing, as Port Arthur was then called, with five other religious, of whom Mother De Pazzi is now the only survivor. The others were: Sister Vincent, Sister Gertrude, and Sister Beatrice. In the small convent thus opened in the bleak and unsettled wilderness, two rooms were given over the first Hospital work in this wild Northern District, and Mother Monica was placed in charge. This was necessitated by the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the resultant injury and accident to the "navvies" or laborers which is always part of such work. From this humble beginning, expanding bit by bit as necessity urged, grew the present fine St. Joseph's Hospital, which was formally opened on its present site, on February 2, 1884. It was enlarged in 1900, and further enlarged in 1904-05. With the building of the last wing, which was several years in construction, St. Joseph's Hospital, as it stands today, and as it was finished in 1918, is a silent but glorious monument to Mother Monica's fifty years of religious service and untiring devotion to the glory of God, the good of souls, the spread of Christian charity and the relief of suffering humanity.
And finally, Mother Monica was presented with a poem written for her by her niece, Jennie Flynn who was visiting from Niagara Falls, NY.
The mountain paths that waited for your feet
The long, long years of labor in between -
Would you have climbed the hill - or stayed to see
A vista opened wide through peace complete
Where all your rich, young life might guarded be
From weary hours beside the bed of pain
From souls all stained and broken in defeat
That through your quiet strength found peace again?
Ah, Mother Monica you could not hide
In deep seclusion where no on might guess
Or marvel at its regal loveliness
The joy that sent you up the mountain side
The joy to build for God that man might see
A higher path unto Eternity!
Miss J.E. Flynn (Niagara Falls)
Niece of Rev. Mother Monica

Unleashed Lyrics
Straight in your face, my law pure and strong - live tough on a pledge in a world full of wrong. These times are hard and my rules are here to stay, true to the very core, stand proud in your way. I've got to do what's right and stay away from you. It's time to break out, walk apart and join the few. I'm going to my limit, my rights have been broke. Forgive but never forget, this is not a joke. I know I'm becoming stronger, my morals: true, pure and clean. I'm sick of seeing wasted lives, I'm going to extreme. This is the state I'm in, no chains are on me. This is the state I'm in, I'm free. Deny worldly pleasures, they label me ascetic. Always remember these words - society is caustic. And so I'll bring it to my grave, those pieces of my life.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Several hundred people marched in Northeast Portland in a protest rally that led to a clash with police who used pepper spray.
The Oregonian reports (http://bit.ly/SpcQlC ) that Saturday afternoon's protest by a coalition of groups that grew out of last year's Occupy Portland movement was mostly peaceful.
But police say they responded with pepper spray after a few of the demonstrators used wooden shields to confront officers.
Authorities did not say how many people were sprayed, but one person was arrested. The Oregonian reported at least 20 were sprayed, but there was no word of any injuries.
Police say organizers did not have a permit and did not respond to requests to discuss the march, which organizers say was planned as an election message against funding cuts to social and public services.
Protest spokesman Nicholas Caleb says no one at the organization received prior communication about the need for a permit.

Kernel modules
The whole Kernel modules section is confusing. Is it mandatory? What exactly should we do?
As suggested by the Arch wiki, I used the
- HostNameLookups Double
option. However, that resulted in following error message: IP lookup failed - connection from localhost closed!
and I wasn't able to add printers via the CUPS web interface (internal server error)
It seems there is an outstanding bug with respect to the HostNameLookups: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L4070+Qversion:%20-feature
Removing the HostNameLookups double form the cups config file resolved my issue. Not sure why this used to solve instead of create problems.
Device node permissions
I got a problem after update of hplip / cups and foomatic. My printer not working anymore.
So I first check possible problems and read section Device node permissions. It's recommended to verify that permissions are 660. It was my case so I am looking to find another solution.
After a long time and read I was back to this section. I read also section below Device node permission troubleshooting. As my conf was with well permission I don't really read all carefully. It was the 3rd/4th time before I see the note about 666 permissions. I tried this and it's solved my problem.
So I think it would be great to make also a note on Device node permissions about 666. Because my conf look allright as writing in wiki, but in fact not.
How to get the damned IP.
"Then add your cups server IP or hostname into /etc/cups/client.conf." ... begs the question how you get the freaking IP or hostname.Jasper1984 (talk) 17:30, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Thursday nights in Lawrence are schooner nights at Louise's. For $2.25, it's the cheapest and most voluminous drink in town. An added bonus is that it's three doors down from an especially greasy pizza place, Pyramid, which happens to be open one hour past last call. The Holy Grail of Pyramid Pizza is Bonez.
Bonez are basically bread sticks stuffed with three different cheeses and slathered in garlic that I really can't write about unless I want to drive myself crazy with cravings. It is James Franco/Yoplait yogurt SO. GOOD. And cheesy blasters so bad for you. But, SO GOOD.
I didn't get Bonez yesterday (and haven't since Megan's going away party; sign of solidarity while she can't have them/we try to figure out a way to ship them to her in NYC, perhaps?) but I did go to schooner night where I got to try some of my friend Kevin's Strongbow and enjoy a pimp glass full of Bud (Amer'ca).
Kevin spent last summer in Cambridge so he's basically Gwyneth Paltrow now–meaning, he's an expert on British culture. My friend Andrea (introduced to me by Megan, probably at schooner night–six degrees!)–who is also an Anglophile and also spent time in Britain one summer–started talking to Kevin about British culture and drinks and the next thing I knew we were back at his house drinking Pimm's.
Which is how Pimm's became the first of 100 cocktails.
Apparently, this cocktail is to Wimbledon what the mint julep is to the Kentucky Derby so I suppose it's a relevant first.

It's another been another adventurous month for the gluten free ratio rally!!! This month we were challenged by Meg of GF Boulangerie to make doughnuts.
I don't have great memories of doughnuts – for the most part my childhood experiences eating them were less than awesome because there was usually some dried out cake with too much sickly sweet glaze that gave me a headache. So I was super excited when this event came around, because one I got a chance to learn how to make them and two, I could try to make a version that would better suit my tastes.
I didn't expect doughnuts to be very difficult to convert to gluten free – after all most cake-like foods don't really depend on the gluten, and in the case of doughnuts either a molded pan or hot oil will form the shape quite well – unlike my gluten free chocolate chip cookies which always seem to run off the edge of the baking sheet down onto the bottom of the oven. Given my track record with absolutely covering every surface of a kitchen in oil when I attempt to deep fry anything (but man were those chestnut pumpkin fritters good!) , I decided to go the baked route.
And then we got the most gorgeous raspberries that weekend in the market, and well, they found their way in too
Baked doughnuts need doughnut pans, and without any around I settled for mini muffin tins – hence the name "mini doughnut cakes"
I decided to make two versions – the first with a prepackaged pastry flour mix so I could test my major ingredient ratios, and then a second recipe using my own blend of flour mix. The result from the prepackaged mix was really great – super light and fluffy delicate little doughnut cakes – the raspberries stayed on top crowning the cakes like jewels. Nice small bites. Addicting.
The recipe ended up being 125 g GF flour, 75 g sugar, 120 g greek yogurt, 1 egg (50g), 30 g milk, 15 g butter, a little salt and baking powder. So I'm not sure what all gets categorized into liquids vs. other in this case, but it looks like my ratio is approximately 5 flour : 3 sugar : 5 greek yogurt : 2 egg : 1 milk : 0.5 fat.
But there was a slight problem with these – after just one day, even in a sealed container, they started to dry out a bit. I felt like I wanted to dunk them in milk like I would a cookie. Not quite the consistency I was going for with "doughnuts".
So I tried my own flour mix – of potato starch, almond meal, rice flour, and chestnut – I was hoping the fat from the almonds would help lend a bit more moisture. The mini doughnut cakes from my mix ended up being slightly more dense (and didn't rise quite as much), but they stayed soft. They also had more flavor – I love how much almond and chestnut contribute to taste here. Given that the raspberries stayed on top of the mini cakes in the 1st batch, for this one I really pushed them down into the center – maybe a bit too far, ha.
I'll take my flatter, denser, richer and more moist doughnut cakes over the ones I did with prepackaged mix any day.
And if I ever find a doughnut pan, I'd love to turn these mini doughnut cakes into actual doughnuts.
But until then, I think we'll keep this version around awhile, have them with a cup of tea, maybe try incorporating some other fruits as the seasons change (Autumn are you here yet?). What a wonderful challenge it was this month, and so glad to know that the doughnut endeavors turned into a version that I really enjoyed
Adapted from Souvlaki for the Soul's Baked Cake Doughnuts, which were adapted from Not So Humble Pie who adapted from Sur La Table.
Prep Time: 10 minutes to prep the ingredients and grease the baking pan
Total Time: about 30 minutes to make the doughnut cakes, not counting cooling and icing time.
Yield: Makes about 2 dozen mini doughnut cakes.
- 125 g GF flour mix
- 75 g sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- pinch salt
- 120 g greek yogurt
- 1 egg (50g), beaten
- 30 g milk
- 15 g melted butter
- raspberries – one for each mini doughnut cake
1. Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Add all the dry ingredients to a bowl – flour, sugar, baking powder, salt – and whisk them together (I hate sifting so I just use a whisk).
2. In a small bowl mix together the wet ingredients – yogurt, egg, milk, butter.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
4. Fill a piping bag with the batter and pipe into a greased mini muffin pan. Press a raspberry into the center of each one. Bake about 8 minutes or until cooked through.
5. Remove from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack until completely cooled. Ice and serve.
Jenn's Baked Cake Doughnut GF Flour Mix
Yield – about 2 batches of mini doughnut cakes
- 80g potato starch
- 80g almond meal
- 80g rice flour
- 40g chestnut flour
1. Combine ingredients together, mix well.
Easy Homemade Icing
Adapted from Lara Ferroni's Buttermilk Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar – really any volume because you will add the milk gradually testing the consistency as you go
- about 1/4 cup milk – but will add only tiny bits at a time! (and probably don't need an entire 1/4 cup)
1. Add the powdered sugar to a bowl and then add in 1 tsp. of milk. Use a spoon to combine together until it forms a thick paste.
2. Add 1/4 tsp. of milk at a time to the icing, blending together and gradually watching it get thinner and thinner.
3. Keep repeating step 2 until the desired consistency is reached. I like my icing fairly thin, so it runs smoothly off the back of a spoon.
4. Glaze away!

VIDEO: Ill. police officer brawls with teen during domestic disturbance call
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - On Monday the Springfield Police Department released body camera footage from an incident last month that led to the arrest of one of its officers.
Springfield police say officers responded to a domestic disturbance call in the 2100 block of East Stuart Street on Feb. 27.
Officer Samuel Rosario engaged in a verbal argument with a 19-year-old man at the scene, according to the Springfield Police Department.
"Go back to Mexico, n*****," an unidentified male says to Rosario in the released footage.
"I ain't from Mexico, you stupid motherf***er," Rosario responds.
A short time later, the man asks for the officer's badge number and the two hurl profanities at each other for several minutes.
"What do you want me to do for you to put some hands on me?" Rosario taunts. "You want these hands? You can have 'em ... you a b****."
Rosario is seen walking toward the teen and appears to push him, saying, "Did I not just touch you?"
The screen then cuts to black as, according to Springfield police, the altercation between officer and teenager "escalated into a physical encounter."
An unseen woman at the home shouts, "He started it first, police did ... the rookie started first ... that's assault and battery."
Toward the end of the video, Rosario says, "Dude, I felt bad for you, that's why I stopped hitting you."
Springfield police say a backup officer not involved in the incident reported it to his supervisor.
Rosario was arrested and charged with two counts of battery and one count of official misconduct the following morning.
According to Springfield police, Rosario is on unpaid administrative leave pending the results of an internal investigation. Illinois State Police have concluded their criminal investigation into the matter.
"This incident does not depict the actions of the hard-working men and women of the Springfield Police Department," Springfield police said in a statement.

Animal deaths occurring during the wildfires that swept through much of the Rolling Plains and Central Texas over the Easter weekend may best be handled by burial, according to a Texas AgriLife Extension Service engineer.
Nearly two dozen wildfires raced across the state on April 9-10, burning more than 100,000 acres – including two entire towns in Montague County – and killing at least three people. By April 11, more than 150,000 acres had been burned, according to the Texas Forest Service.
AgriLife Extension personnel are working with county judges and Farm Service Agency personnel to get an accurate estimate of the agricultural losses.
In the meantime, on-ranch or on-farm burial is the quickest way to dispose of non-diseased animal mortalities, said Dr. Saqib Mukhtar, AgriLife Extension agricultural engineer.
Trenches should be dug in areas where the highest seasonal water table is below (at least 2 feet) the bottom of the trench and the trench bottom should be compacted or lined with clay (if possible) to control leaching of fluids from the carcasses, Mukhtar said.
Personal safety of workers digging trenches and disposing carcasses needs to be considered at all times, he warned.
Some other tips include:
- Do not bury or leave carcasses in flood prone, low lying areas or in sandy/highly permeable soils.
- Records of where and how many cattle were buried should be kept.
- The burial trench should not be near water supply wells, creeks, ponds, and streams.
- The trench should be covered and mounded with soil to shed rainwater.
- The mound should be inspected later and rebuilt if collapsed.
In the case of badly burned or disintegrating carcasses, Mukhtar said, an absorbent such as soil, sawdust, wood shavings, compost or spent horse bedding should be added to the non-intact carcasses before they are removed and taken to a burial site for disposal with a front-end loader or other similar bucket loader or dozer.
Do not move carcasses into a ditch while awaiting final burial, Mukhtar warned. A staging area may be set-up at a site that will not allow water to run onto to the temporarily stored carcasses or run off from the carcass storage area. Temporarily stored carcasses should be properly disposed of within 72 hours of death.
"You may need to berm the staging areas, if run-on or runoff (water) is expected," he said.
The site should have a compacted bottom, preferably a compacted rock-base or an existing concrete pad, Mukhtar said. The surface should be covered with 12 to 18 inches of wood shavings, sawdust, cotton gin trash, compost, spent horse bedding or any other material that will absorb and contain liquids from carcasses.
The carcasses should then be placed over this layer and completely blanketed with the same absorbing material or soil, he said. The staging area should be fenced off or protected in some way from scavengers.
"Again, worker safety and record keeping – where and how many carcasses, if counting is possible – are important considerations," Mukhtar said. "Temporary disposal is just that, and a proper disposal option will be to compost, properly bury on site or send to a Type I landfill. Please check with the landfill whether they accept animal mortalities or not."
More on burial and composting, as well as other mitigation and recovery information, is available at Texas Extension Disaster Education Network.
Mukhtar said the key is for individuals who are trying to bury a few animals to stay in compliance with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality regulations.
A sample affidavit giving a description of the number of carcasses and a general description of the burial location is available from the commission. The commission's approved Affidavit of Facts or an affidavit providing a description of the number of carcasses and a general description of the burial location may be used.
Contact the regional Texas Commission on Environmental Quality office that serves your county or their central office at 512-239-0436 for assistance obtaining these documents.

The Calling says singer was attacked in Michigan
The Calling says singer was attacked in Michigan
Aug. 19, 2013
LAPEER, Michigan (AP) — The lead singer of rock group The Calling was abducted, beaten and robbed after performing at a Michigan festival, the band said Monday.
Alex Band was attacked outside a store in Lapeer early Sunday, the group told The Associated Press. The Calling had performed Saturday night at a festival in the city of 8,800, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) north of Detroit.
Band had a spinal fracture, three broken teeth and needed 15 stiches in his chin, The Calling said in a statement.
Police asked the public for help in investigating.
Detective Sgt. Craig Gormley said in a statement — that doesn't name Band by name— that the victim reported two males forced him into a minivan, then assaulted and robbed him before dropping him off at a railroad crossing.
The Los Angeles-based group's 2001 song, "Wherever You Will Go," was used in several TV series and in the movie "Coyote Ugly."
In its statement, The Calling said Band was visiting a mini-market after the show when "Alex was grabbed by his shirt and hit from behind."
It said he was beaten with a baton and had a gun put to his face while an attacker demanded his "Hollywood money."
The Calling said Band is going to be a father and told his assailants as much, to which one responded "We don't kill fathers" before releasing him.
Band acknowledged having past substance abuse problems, but denied what he said were rumors that the abduction report was either drug-related or faked.
"I take my rehabilitation very seriously," he said. "I was near death due to this unbelievable situation, and the rumors are categorically false."

The following SQL commands create a table named USERS and copies data from the encrypted stage into the USERS table:
The data is now ready to be analyzed using Snowflake.
You can also unload data into the stage. The following SQL command creates a MOST_PURCHASES table and populates it with the results of a query that finds the top 10 users with the most purchases, and then unloads the table data into the stage:
Snowflake encrypts the data files copied into the customer's stage using the master key stored in the stage object. Snowflake adheres to the client-side encryption protocol for the cloud storage service. A customer can download the encrypted data files using any client or tool that supports client-side encryption.
All Snowflake customer data is encrypted by default using the latest security standards and best practices. Snowflake uses strong AES 256-bit encryption with a hierarchical key model rooted in AWS CloudHSM. Keys are automatically rotated on a regular basis by the Snowflake service, and data can be automatically re-encrypted ("rekeyed") on a regular basis. Data encryption and key management is entirely transparent and requires no configuration or management.
For additional information about Snowflake encryption, see our security whitepaper .
A hierarchical key model provides a framework for Snowflake's encryption key management. The hierarchy is composed of several layers of keys in which each higher layer of keys (parent keys) encrypts the layer below (child keys). In security terminology, a parent key encrypting all child keys is known as "wrapping".
Snowflake's hierarchical key model consists of four levels of keys:
Each customer account has a separate key hierarchy of account level, table level, and file level keys.
In a multi-tenant cloud service like Snowflake, the hierarchical key model isolates every account with the use of separate account master keys. In addition to the access control model , which separates storage of customer data, the hierarchical key model provides another layer of account isolation.
A hierarchical key model reduces the scope of each layer of keys. For example, a table master key encripts a single table. A file key encrypts a single file. A hierarchical key model constrains the amount of data each key protects and the duration of time for which it is usable.
Account and table master keys are automatically rotated on a regular basis by Snowflake. Active keys are retired, and new keys are created. After a specified time period, retired keys are destroyed. When active, a key is used to encrypt data and is available for usage by the originator. When retired, the key is used solely to decrypt data and is only available for usage by the recipient. When wrapping child keys in the key hierarchy, or when inserting data into a table, only the current, active key is used to encrypt data. When a key is destroyed, it is not used for either encryption or decryption. Regular key rotation limits the lifecycle for the keys to a limited period of time.
This figure shows the key rotation for one table master key (TMK):
As stated previously, key rotation limits the duration of time in which a key is actively used to encrypt data. In conjunction with the hierarchical key model, key rotation further constrains the amount of data a key version protects. Limiting the lifetime of a key is

by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to enhance security.
Periodic rekeying requires Enterprise Edition. To inquire about upgrading, please contact Snowflake Support .
This section continues the explanation of the account and table master key lifecycle. Encryption Key Rotation described key rotation, which replaces active keys with new keys on a periodic basis and retires the old keys. Periodic data rekeying completes the lifecycle. If periodic rekeying is enabled, when the retired encryption key for a table is older than one year, Snowflake automatically creates a new encryption key and re-encrypts all data previously protected by the retired key using the new key. The new key is used to decrypt the table data going forward.
Monstera deliciosa

that originates from Central America. Initially thought to be a Discount In China Akris Punto Knit KneeLength Dress Shop Your Own Outlet Best Wholesale Outlet Best clLJ8X
, it was formerly known as Étoile Isabel Marant Woven Mini Skirt Free Shipping Best hHVPC3f
Monstera deliciosa is a climbing plant, easily recognizable to its large cut leaves that make it a popular plant. Younger specimens will have full leaves; the cuts begin to appear as the plant gets older, when the conditions are right.
The plant produces long, brown aerial roots it uses in the wild to get a hold on the trees on which it grows in jungles, thus supporting its weak stem that is unable to support its own weight once the plant has more than two or three leaves.
In the nature, M. deliciosa grows by climbing on trees; providing it something to climb on is necessary inside so that the plant can support itself. In a wet enough atmosphere, the plant will readily attach itself to anything it finds; in a normal apartment atmosphere however, it will not, and will have to be manually fixed. Aerial roots that are not actively used by the plant to support itself may be cut.
Good light or shade, keep out of direct sunlight.
The plant can easily be multiplied by cuttings or by layering. It is also possible to sow

. The sprouting plantlings will display a phenomenon called negative phototropism; this means that unlike most other plants, they will crawl away from sunlight, toward the darkest place they can find. In the nature, doing so allows them to find the trees they climb on. Once the plantling finds a tree, it will go towards light as expected to grow into the large vine it is known to be.

The fruit is dangerous to eat when unripe, as it is full of oxalic acid, that causes immediate and painful blistering and irritation, swelling, itching, and loss of voice upon ingestion. It takes a full year for the fruit to ripen, at which point it no longer contains oxalic acid and is edible.

An Impartial Glance at the Ancient Magistracy
fortunate personage in the year of grace 1482, was the noble knight, Robert dEstouteville, Sieur of Beyne, Baron of Ivry and Saint-Andry in the March, Councillor and Chamberlain to the King, and Warden of the Provostry of Paris. It was well-nigh seventeen years ago since he had received from the King, on November 7, 1465the year of the comet
this fine appointment of Provost of Paris, reputed rather a
than an office.
says Joannes Lmnus,
quæ, cum non exigua potestate politiam concernente, atque prærogativis multis et juribus conjuncta est.
It was indeed a thing to marvel at that in 1482 a gentleman should be holding the Kings commission, whose letters of appointment dated back to the date of the marriage of a natural daughter of Louis XI with Monsieur the Bastard of Bourbon. On the same day on which Robert dEstouteville had replaced Jacques de Villiers in the Provostry of Paris, Maître Jehan Dauvet superseded Messire Hélye de Thorrettes as Chief President of the Court of Parliament, Jehan Jouvenel des Ursins supplanted Pierre de Morvilliers in the office of Chancellor of France, and Regnault des Dormans turned Pierre Puy out of the post of Master of Common Pleas to the royal palace. But over how many heads had that Presidency, that Chancellorship, and that Mastership passed since Robert dEstouteville held the Provostship of Paris! It had been given unto his keeping, said the letters patent; and well indeed had he kept the same. He had clung to it, incorporated himself into it, had so identified himself with it that he had managed to escape that mania for change which so possessed Louis XI, a close-fisted, scheming king, who sought to maintain, by frequent appointments and dismissals, the elasticity of his power. Furthermore, the worthy knight had procured the reversion of his post for his son, and for two years now the name of the noble M. Jacques dEstouteville, Knight, had figured beside that of his father at the head of the roll of the Provostry of Parisin truth, a rare and signal favour! To be sure, Robert dEstouteville was a good soldier, had loyally raised his banner for the King against the League of the Public Weal, and on the entry of the Queen into Paris in 14had presented her with a wonderful stag composed of confectionery. Besides this, he was on a very friendly footing with Messire Tristan lHermite, Provost-Marshal of the Kings palace. So Messire Roberts existence was an easy and pleasant one. First of all, he enjoyed very good pay, to which were attached and hanging like extra grapes on his vine, the revenues from the civil and criminal registries of the Provostry, the revenues, civil and criminal, accruing from the auditory courts of the Châtelet, not to speak of many a comfortable little toll-due from the bridges of Mantes and Corbeil, and the profits from the taxes levied on the grain-dealers, as on the measurers of wood and salt. Add to this, the pleasure of displaying on his official rides through the cityin shining contrast to the party-coloured gowns, half red, half tan, of the sheriffs and district officershis fine military accoutrements, which you may admire to this day, sculptured on his tomb in the Valmont Abbey in Normandy, and his morion with all the bruises in it got at Montlhæry. Then, it was no mean thing to have authority over the constables of the Palais de Justice, over the warder and the Commandant of the Châtelet, the two auditors of the Châtelet (
auditores Castelleti
), the sixteen commissioners of the sixteen districts, the jailer of the Châtelet, the four enfeoffed officers of the peace, the hundred and twenty mounted officers of the peace, the hundred and twenty officers of the rod, the captain of the watch with his patrol, his under-patrol, his counter-and-night-patrol. Was it nothing to exercise supreme and secondary jurisdiction, to have the right of pillory, hanging, and dragging at the carts tail, besides minor jurisdiction in the first resort (
in prima instantia,
as the old charters have it) over the whole viscomty of Paris, so gloriously endowed with the revenues of seven noble bailiwicks? Can you conceive of anything more gratifying than to mete out judgment and sentence, as Messire Robert dEstouteville did every day in the Grand Châtelet, under the wide, low-pitched Gothic arches of Philip Augustus; and to retire, as he was wont, every evening to that charming house in Rue Galilée, within the purlieus of the Palais Royal, which he held by right of his wife, Dame Ambroise de Loré, where he could rest from the fatigues of having sent some poor devil to pass the night on his part in that little cell of the Rue de lEscorcherie, which the provosts and sheriffs of Paris frequently used as a prisonthe same measuring eleven feet in length, seven feet and four inches in width, and eleven feet in height?
And not only had Messire Robert dEstouteville his special jurisdictional offices as Provost of Paris, but also he had his seat, with power over life and death, in the Kings Supreme Court. There was no head of any account but had passed through his hands before falling to the executioner. It was he who had fetched the Comte de Nemours from the Bastille Saint-Antoine, to convey him to the Halles; he who had escorted the Comte de Saint-Pol to the Place de Grève, who stormed and wept, to the huge delight of Monsieur the Provost, who bore no love to Monsieur the Constable.
Here, assuredly, was more than sufficient to make a mans life happy and illustrious and to merit some day a noteworthy page in that interesting chronicle of the Provosts of Paris, from which we learn that Oudard de Villeneuve owned a house in the Rue des Boucheries, that Guillaume de Hangast bought the great and the little Savoie mansion, that Guillaume Thiboust gave his houses in the Rue Clopin to the Sisters of Sainte-Geneviève, that Hugues Aubriot lived in the Hôtel du Porc-epic, and other facts of a domestic character.
Nevertheless, in spite of all these reasons for taking life easily and pleasantly, Messire Robert dEstouteville had risen on the morning of January 7, 1482, feeling as sulky and dangerous in temper as a bear with a sore head; why, he would have been at a loss to say. Was it because the sky was gloomy? because the buckle of his old sword-beltanother relic of Montlhérywas clasped too tight, and girded up his fair, round, provostorial port in all too military a fashionor because he had just seen a band of tattered varlets, who had jeered at him as they passed below his windows walking four abreast, in doublets without shirts, in hats without brims, and wallet and bottle hanging at their sides?
Or was it the vague premonition of the loss of those three hundred and seventy livres, sixteen sols, eight deniers, of which in the following year the future King Charles VIII was going to dock the revenues of the Provostry? The reader may take his choice, but for our part we are inclined to the opinion that he was in bad temper becausehe was in a bad temper.
Besides, it was the day after a holiday, a day distasteful to everybody, especially to the magistrate whose business it was to sweep up all the dirtliterally and figurativelywhich a Paris holiday inevitably brings with it. Then, too, he was to sit that day at the Grand Châtelet; and we have noticed that the judges generally manage that their day of sitting shall also be their day of ill-humour, in that they may have some one on whom conveniently to vent their spleen in the name of the King, justice, and the law.
The sitting, however, had begun without him. His deputies in civil, criminal, and private causes were acting for him as usual; and by eight oclock in the morning, some scores of townsfolk, men and women, crowded up between the wall and a strong barrier of oak in a dark corner of the court of the Châtelet, were blissfully assisting at the varied and exhilarating spectacle of the law, civil and criminal, as administered by Maître Florian Barbedienne, examining judge at the Châtelet, and deputy for Monsieur the Provost, an office he performed in a manner somewhat mixed and altogether haphazard.
The hall was small, low, and vaulted, furnished at the far end with a table figured over with fleur de lis, a great, carved oak chair for the Provost, and therefore empty, and a stool at the left side for Maître Florian. Lower down sat the clerk, scribbling fast. Opposite to them were the people; while before the door and before the table were stationed a number of sergeants of the Provostry, in violet woollen jerkins, with white crosses on their breasts. Two sergeants of the Common Hall in their All-Saints jacketshalf red, half bluestood sentinel at a low, closed door which was visible in the back-ground behind the table. A solitary Gothic window, deeply embedded in the wall, shed the pale light of a January morning on two grotesque figuresthe whimsical stone devil, carved on the keystone of the vaulted ceiling, and the judge sitting at the back of the Hall bending over the fleur de lis of the table.
Picture to yourself that figure at the table, leaning on his elbows between two bundles of documents, his foot wrapped in the tail of his plain brown gown, the face in its frame of white lambskin, of which the eye-brows seem to be a piecered, scowling, blinking, carrying with dignity the load of fat that met under his chinand you have Maître Florian Barbedienne, examining judge at the Châtelet.
Now, Maître Florian was deafrather a drawback for an examining judgebut none the less did he mete out judgment without appeal and with great propriety. Surely it is sufficient that a judge should appear to listen, and the venerable auditor the better filled this conditionthe sole essential to the good administration of justicein that his attention could not be distracted by any sound.
However, he had among the onlookers a merciless critic of deeds and manners in the person of our friend, Jehan Frollo of the Mill, the little scholar of yesterdays scenes, the little loafer one was certain to encounter anywhere in Paris, save in the lecture-room of the professors.
Look, whispered he to his companion, Robin Poussepain, who sat beside him in fits of suppressed laughter at his comments on the scene before them, why, theres Jehanneton du Buisson, the pretty lass of that old lazy-bones at the Marché-Neuf! On my soul, he means to fine her, the old dotard! Fifteen sols, four deniers parisis for wearing two rosaries! Thats rather dear!
Lex duri carminis
whos this? Robin Chief-de-Ville, hauberk-maker, for being passed and admitted a master in the said craft. Ah! his entrance fee. What! Two gentlemen among this rabble! Aiglet de Soins, Hutin de Mailly, two squires
Corpus Christi!
Oh, for throwing dice! When shall we see our Rector here, I wonder? A fine of a hundred livres parisis to the King! Barbedienne lays about him, like a deaf oneas he is. May I be my brother the archdeacon, if that shall hinder me from playing; from playing by day, and playing by night, living at play, dying at play, and staking my soul after I have staked my shirt! Holy Virgin! what a lot of girls! One at a time, my lambkins! Ambrose Lécuyère, Isabeau la Paynette, Bèrarde Gironin! By heavens, I know them all! A fine! a fine! ten sols parisis; thatll teach you minxes to wear gilded girdles! Oh, the ancient sheeps-head of a judge, deaf and doting! Ah, Florian thou dolt! Oh, Barbedienne thou booby! Do but look at him there at tablehe dines off the litiganthe dines off the casehe eatshe chewshe gobbleshe fills himself! Fines, unclaimed goods, dues, costs, expenses, wages, damages, torture, imprisonment, and pillory and fetters, and loss of rightall are to him as Christmas comfits and midsummer marchpane! Look at him, the swine! Good! it begins again. Another light o love! Thibaude-la-Thibaude, as I live! For having come out of the Rue Glatigny! Whos this young shaver? Gieffroy Mabonne, cross-bowman. He blasphemed the name of God the Father. Thibaude a fine! Gieffroy a fine! A fine for both of them! The deaf old blockhead, he is sure to have mixed up the two. Ten to one that he makes the girl pay for the oath, and the soldier for the amour! Attention, Robin Poussepain! Who are they bringing in now? What a crowd of tip-staffs! By Jupiter, the whole pack of hounds! This must be the grand catch of the day. A wild boar at least. It is one Robin! it isand a fine specimen too! Hercules! it is our prince of yesterday, our Pope of Fools, our bell-ringer, our hunchback, our grimace! It is Quasimodo!
It was indeed.
It was Quasimodo, bound about with cords, tightly pinioned, and under a strong guard. The detachment of officers surrounding him was led by the Captain of the watch in person, with the arms of France embroidered on his breast, and those of the City of Paris on his back. However, apart from his ugliness, there was nothing about Quasimodo to warrant this show of halberds and arquebuses. He was moody, silent, and composed, only casting from time to time a sullen and angry glance out of his one eye at the cords that bound him. He cast this same glance at his surroundings, but it was so dazed and drowsy that the women only pointed him out in derision to one another.
Meanwhile, Maître Florian was busy turning over the pages of the charge drawn up against Quasimodo, handed to him by the clerk, and, having glanced at it, seemed to commune with himself for a moment. Thanks to this precaution, which he was always careful to employ before proceeding with his examination, he knew in advance the name, quality, and offence of the delinquent, made prearranged replies to foreseen questions, and contrived to find his way through all the sinuosities of the cross-examination without too openly betraying his deafness. The written charge was to him as the dog to the blind man. If it happened, now and then, that his infirmity became evident through some unintelligible address, or some question wide of the mark, it passed with some for profundity, and with others for imbecility. In either case, the honour of the magistracy underwent no diminution; better far that a judge should be reputed imbecile or profound rather than deaf. He therefore took such precautions to conceal his deafness from others, and usually succeeded so well, that he had come at last to deceive himself on the subjectan easier matter than one might suppose; for all hunchbacks walk with head erect; all stammerers are fond of talking; deaf people invariably speak in a whisper. For his part, he thought, at most, that perhaps his ear was a trifle less quick than other peoples. This was the sole concession he would make to public opinion in his rare moments of candour and self-examination.
Having then ruminated well on Quasimodos case, he threw back his head and half-closed his eyes, by way of extra dignity and impartiality, with the result that, for the moment, he was both blind and deafa twofold condition without which no judge is really perfect.
In this magisterial attitude he commenced his examination.
Your name?
Now here was a case which had not been provided for by the lawthe interrogation of one deaf person by another in similar plight.
Quasimodo, who had no hint of the fact that he was being addressed, continued to regard the judge fixedly, but made no reply. The judge, deaf himself, and unaware of the deafness of the accused, imagined he had answered, as accused persons generally did, and continued with his usual stupid and mechanical self-confidence:
Very goodyour age?
Quasimodo made no answer to this question either, but the judge, fancying he had done so, went on:
Now, your calling?
Continued silence. The bystanders, however, began to whisper and look at each other.
That will do, returned the imperturbable magistrate when he concluded that the accused had finished his third answer. You stand charged before us,
with nocturnal disturbance;
with unjustifiable violence to the person of a light woman,
in prejudicium meretricis; tertio,
of rebellion and contempt against the archers of our Lord the King. Explain yourself on these points.Clerk, have you written down what the accused has said so far?
At this unlucky question there was an explosion of laughter, beginning with the clerk and spreading to the crowdso violent, so uncontrollable, so contagious, so universal, that neither of the deaf men could help perceiving it. Quasimodo turned round and shrugged his high shoulders disdainfully, while Maître Florian, as surprised as he, and supposing that the laughter of the spectators had been provoked by some unseemly reply from the accused, rendered visible to him by that shrug, addressed him indignantly:
Fellow, that last answer of yours deserves the halter. Do you know to whom you are speaking?
This sally was hardly calculated to extinguish the outburst of general hilarity. The thing was so utterly absurd and topsy-turvy, that the wild laughter seized even the sergeants of the Common Hall, a sort of pikemen whose stolidity was part of their uniform. Quasimodo alone preserved his gravity, for the very good reason that he had no idea what was occurring round him. The judge, growing more and more irritated, thought it proper to continue in the same tone, hoping thereby to strike such terror to the heart of the prisoner as would react on the audience and recall them to a sense of due respect.
It would seem, then, headstrong and riotous knave that you are, that you would dare to flout the auditor of the Châtelet; the magistrate entrusted with the charge of the public safety of Paris; whose duty it is to search into all crimes, delinquencies, and evil courses; to control all trades and forbid monopolies; to repair the pavements; to prevent the retail hawking of poultry and game, both feathered and furred; to superintend the measuring of firewood and all other kinds of wood; to purge the city of filth, and the air of all contagious distemperin a word, to slave continually for the public welfare without fee or recompense, or hope of any. Know you that my name is Florian Barbedienne, deputy to Monsieur the Provost himself, and, moreover, commissioner, investigator, controller, and examiner, with equal power in provostry, bailiwick, registration, and presidial court
There is no earthly reason why a deaf man talking to a deaf man should ever stop. God alone knows where and when Maître Florian would have come to anchor, once launched in full sail on the ocean of his eloquence, had not the low door at the back of the hall suddenly opened, and given passage to Monsieur the Provost in person.
At his entrance Maître Florian did not stop, but wheeling half round, and suddenly aiming at the Provost the thunderbolts which up to now he had launched at Quasimodo:
Monseigneur, he said, I demand such penalty as shall seem fitting to you against the accused here present for flagrant and unprecedented contempt of court.
He seated himself breathless, wiping away the great drops that fell from his forehead and splashed like tears upon the documents spread out before him. Messire Robert dEstouteville knit his brows and signed to Quasimodo with a gesture so imperious and significant, that the deaf hunchback in some degree understood.
The Provost addressed him sternly: What hast thou done, rascal, to be brought hither?
The poor wretch, supposing that the Provost was asking his name, now broke his habitual silence and answered in hoarse, guttural tones, Quasimodo.
The answer corresponded so little with the question that the former unbridled merriment threatened to break out again, and Messire Robert, crimson with anger, roared, Dost dare to mock me too, arch-rogue?
Bell-ringer of Notre Dame, continued Quasimodo, thinking that he must explain to the judges who he was.
Bell-ringer! returned the Provost, who, as we know, had risen that morning in so vile a temper that there was no need to add fresh fuel to the fire by such unwarrantable impudence. Bell-ringer indeed! They shall ring a carillon of rods on thy back at every street corner of Paris. Hearest thou, rascal?
If it is my age you desire to know, said Quasimodo, I think I shall be twenty come Martinmas.
This was going too far; the Provost could contain himself no longer.
Ha, miserable knave, thou thinkest to make sport of the law! Sergeant of the rod, you will take this fellow to the pillory in the Grève and there flog him and turn him for an hour. He shall pay for this,
And I command that this sentence be proclaimed by means of the four legally appointed trumpeters at the seven castellanies of the jurisdiction of Paris.
The clerk proceeded forthwith to put the sentence on record.
I call that giving judgment in good style! said little Jehan Frollo of the Mill, from his secluded corner.
The Provost turned and again transfixed Quasimodo with blazing eye. I believe the rascal said
Clerk, you will add twelve deniers parisis as a fine for swearing, and let one-half of it go to the Church of Saint-Eustache. I have a particular devotion for Saint-Eustache.
A few minutes later and the sentence was drawn up. The language was brief and simple. The legal procedure of the Provostry and bailiwick of Paris had not yet been elaborated by the President, Thibaut Baillet, and Roger Barmne, Kings advocate, and therefore not yet obscured by that forest of chicanery and circumlocution planted in it by these two lawyers at the beginning of the sixteenth century. All was still clear, rapid, and to the point. There was no beating about the bush, and straight before you, at the end of every path, you had a full view of the wheel, the gibbet, or the pillory. You knew, at least, exactly where you were.
The clerk presented the sentence to the Provost, who affixed his seal to it and then departed, to continue his round through the several courts of law, in a frame of mind which seemed likely, for that day, to fill every jail in Paris. Jehan Frollo and Robin Poussepain were laughing in their sleeve, while Quasimodo regarded the whole scene with an air of surprise and indifference.
Nevertheless, the clerk, while Maître Florian was engaged in reading over the judgment before signing it in his turn, felt some qualms of compassion for the poor devil under sentence, and in the hope of obtaining some mitigation of his penalties, bent as near as he could to the examiners ear, and said, pointing to Quasimodo, The man is deaf.
He hoped that the knowledge of a common infirmity would awaken Maître Florians interest in favour of the condemned. But in the first place, as we have already explained, Maître Florian did not like to have his deafness commented upon; and secondly, that he was so hard of hearing that he did not catch one word the clerk was saying. Desiring, however, to conceal this fact, he replied: Ah! that makes all the difference. I did not know that. In that case, one more hour of pillory for him. And, the modification made, he signed the sentence.
And serve him right too, said Robin Poussepain, who still owed Quasimodo a grudge; thatll teach him to handle folks so roughly.

Saints Dominate Panthers, 31-13
For the New Orleans Saints, there's no place like home.
One week after being dominated on the road at Seattle, the Saints put together a complete game and snapped the Carolina Panthers nine game winning streak, beating their NFC South Division rivals, 31-13 Sunday night.
After staking the Panthers to a 6-0 lead on two field goals, the New Orleans offense went to work, putting up 21 second quarter points to take a 21-6 lead into the locker room at halftime. It was the most points allowed by the Panthers in the first half since 2011.
In that period, Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw for three touchdowns, two to Marques Colston and one to Jimmy Graham to give New Orleans all the points they would need. Brees added a fourth touchdown pass to Graham in the fourth quarter.
The Saints defense, meanwhile, held Carolina to just 239 yards total offense and kept the Panthers out of the end zone until the game was well out of hand.
The win gives the Saints (10-3) an upper hand in the division race. They still must face the Panthers (9-4) two weeks from now in Charlotte, but a tie at 12-4 would give the Saints the division title and a first round bye in the playoffs.

Wrestling boss: IOC vote was 'shock therapy'
Wrestling boss: IOC vote was 'shock therapy'
Sep. 05, 2013
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Nenad Lalovic remembers the phone call from a friend seven months ago: Wrestling was being dropped from the Olympics.
"I said, 'What are you talking about?'" Lalovic recalled. "I thought it was a joke."
It wasn't. The IOC executive board in February recommended removing wrestling from the 2020 Olympics, a hammer blow that the sport's leaders never saw coming.
Now, Lalovic is in Buenos Aires as president of a new-look FILA, wrestling's governing body, and leading its final push to save its Olympic status, culminating a frantic six-month campaign that has reshaped the sport.
"That was the best shock therapy," Lalovic said. "When you fall into such a crisis, you either die or you recover. We recovered."
The International Olympic Committee will vote on Sunday on including one additional sport to the program of the 2020 and 2024 Games. Wrestling is up against squash and a combined baseball-softball bid.
Barring a major surprise, wrestling looks set to keep its Olympic place.
"What I hear makes me optimistic," Lalovic said, "but a vote is a vote and we have to wait."
In the meantime, the burly, chain-smoking Serb has been working the lobby of the IOC hotel, continuing to push wrestling's case. Leaders of the baseball-softball and squash federations are fighting to keep in the hunt.
"We're still trying to get our message across," said Don Porter, co-president of the World Baseball Softball Confederation. "We know we have an uphill battle but we are doing everything we can to convince the members that baseball-softball will be positive for the Olympic program. I think there are still a lot of members who are undecided."
Squash federation chief N. Ramachandran believes the final presentations before the vote will be crucial.
"We have done our best ... and hope for the best," he said.
After the IOC's stunning decision in February, Raphael Martinetti resigned as FILA president and was replaced by Lalovic. The Serb said it became clear that FILA had failed to modernize the sport and had fallen out of touch with the IOC.
"I don't blame the IOC," Lalovic said. "The guilt is only ours. We lost too many years. But this crisis gave us a fantastic possibility to do so much in such a short time.
"We all decided to fight, but how to fight? You have to win a battle. You don't know who are your allies, what are your weapons, and how many men you have. We found out in a few weeks and came up with a strategy."
FILA revamped its structure, giving women and athletes a role in decision making. It added two weight classes for women. It adopted rule changes to make the sport easier to understand and more fun to watch, and reward more aggressive wrestling.
Meanwhile, powerful countries and unlikely political allies like the United States, Iran and Russia threw their weight behind the campaign.
Squash is trying for a third time to make the Olympic program. Women's softball and men's baseball were dropped by the IOC from the program following the 2008 Beijing Games. After failing in separate bids for reinstatement, they merged into a single federation this time to improve their chances.
If wrestling wins Sunday's vote, it will mean no new sport is added to the program, defeating the original purpose of the process.
"We have to present a new wrestling, like a new sport, because the IOC wants a new sport," Lalovic said. "That's what we are giving to them — a completely new wrestling."
Lalovic has some sympathy for the two other contenders, whose chances took a huge blow when wrestling made the shortlist from a list of eight sports in May. But Lalovic said wrestling has more at stake than the others, contending that losing a spot in the Olympics is worse than failing to win one.
"We would be much more disappointed to go out from the games than them not succeeding to enter because we are in, they're not," he said. "For us it's much more difficult not to succeed, because if we don't succeed we are in big, big trouble."
Whatever happens on Sunday, Lalovic said, the "revolution" in wrestling is far from over.
"We had to make a new product and we made it," he said. "To sell a product you need to have something interesting. I think we succeeded in doing the maximum that can be done in six months. But we didn't finish the job. We have to do many things. This is just the beginning."
