Mah Main character is Big Tex. He's a gun-slingin', bad mouthin' cowboy with a mean quick draw. He's designed ta seem relatively under-powered, but ta be able ta step up ta any fight. It's hard ta tell, but he loves Little Rodeo more than any biological son he coulda had.
Little Rodeo is Big Tex's unofficially adopted son. He's an innocent minded lad who wouldn't be able ta survive out in society without resortin' ta crime. He's designed ta be kinda over-powered, but unable ta do much with his power due ta his naivety. He loves Big Tex like a father and will defend him at any opportunity. He loves backtalkin' Big Tex, but respects him too much ta mean any o' it.
Big Rodeo is a bit o' a conundrum. One day, he approaches Big Tex and Little Rodeo claiming that Little Rodeo is his biological son. Big Tex was at first wary of this stranger, but seein' the uncanny resemblance between the two, does not doubt Big Rodeo's story. It turns out that Big Rodeo is also a Terrakinetic and soon begins to teach the young Little Rodeo how ta use their powers efficiently. Big Tex and Big Rodeo quickly become friends when it becomes apparent that Big Rodeo was fine with leaving Little Rodeo in Big Tex's care and that Big Rodeo was not going ta try and take him away from Big Tex. Big Rodeo rarely stays in one place for too long and is quite the hero, always flitting from place to place helping people wherever help is needed.

My original blog post offering a bounty on software for the ArduIMU v3 to make it into a very good standalone camera gimbal stabilizer attracted alot of criticism and at the same time alot more support. There are many people who have joined my cause, and pledged to either match my bounty or contribute towards the bounty. So many pledges that it has become hard to track. One member suggested using Kickstarter. However as a non-US resident I was not able to create a project on Kickstarter so one has been created on IndieGoGo.
Don't forget that whilst the $10 contribution is appreciated, and you contribute as much as you like, matching my $100 bounty is even more appreciated. And for $225 I'll get a ArduIMU and solder the connectors and flash the firmware for you.
[EDIT: The 30 March deadline has now been extended until 11 May or until the bounty is claimed, which ever comes first.
It looks like this is getting pretty big with a number of contenders and backers, ie. more than just my $100 reward. Whilst my offer for a $100 reward plus bonus still stands for the FIRST person to deliver code that meets the specification; I would like to propose that the contributions/backers/funders on IndieGoGo vote at the end of the project (11 May) who should receive the funds raise on IndieGoGo (less the 9% fee that IndieGoGo charge).
So essentially there will be the $100 plus bonuses from me for the FIRST app, and the IndieGoGo pool for the BEST app.
Comments are closed for this blog post
My v3 is in the mail. Maybe it will get here in time to claim the prize...
source code can be found here
I need to find my DIYdrones FTDI cable so I can load this on my new arrived ArduIMU. Anyone able to test this yet?
Has anyone tried Michael's code yet? I don't have an ArduIMU yet, though I do have an oilpan + APM combo that I've been considering building the same thing for. I wonder if with a few small changes you could actually use Michaels code on that hardware as well?
please have a look here
OK, I'm giving it a try, but getting errors. Using arduino 0.22 relaxpatch IDE, I verified Michael's code and found the requirement for copying code from another site. I copied that variable declaration into the 'gimbal' code, and tried to verify again, but got this:
Parameters:16: error: var_info causes a section type conflict
Any suggestions?
Same error: Gimbal.cpp:1457:34: error: var_info causes a section type conflict
Marc, in the bit you copy and paste
remove the word from the start
so in a nut shell
download the code
change your sketchbook path
copy the code from the website
remove PROGMEM from that copied code
select a 328 board
and upload.
Thanks, it worked!

Facebook and other social networks are re-organising how consumers experience the web, centring it on their personal connections and activities.
This is blurring the lines between branded content, paid advertising, and consumer conversations.
Marketers therefore need to integrate owned, paid and earned social media strategies.

Back in 2010 when social media marketing was still in its infancy our former research director Jake Hird rounded up more than 20 mind-blowing stats that gave an overview of how the industry was progressing.
Since then Jake has emigrated to an old British penal colony and these stats have become somewhat less mind-blowing as people now accept that social media is a massive industry.
Even so it's still interesting to take a stroll down memory lane and revisit these statistics to see the extent to which social media usage has changed in the past three years.
So, here they are:

As a small business owner you're in a great position to start exploiting social media for all its worth, adding much sought after personalisation and relevance at an integral stage of your development.
Although social media can be a fairly time consuming practice depending on how many platforms you choose to use, it's also the key way for a small business to develop awareness, raise its profile, gauge its market and interact with existing and future customers.
As the UK is celebrating its first Small Business Saturday on December 7 2013, here is the second in a series of posts that takes a look at each individual social media platform in turn (last week we looked at Pinterest for small businesses) and highlights how you can achieve the best from each one.
This week: Facebook.

Brands no longer have an option over whether or not they provide social customer service as consumer demand dictates that complaints and queries are at least acknowledged even if they are ultimately dealt with via a different (less public) channel.
A new study by IMGroup found that fashion retailer Next currently provides the best overall social customer service among brick-and-mortar retailers, followed by Argos and Marks & Spencer.
Next was the top performer on Facebook and the second best on Twitter, which are the two channels most commonly used for social customer service.
All of the retailers in the report had a Twitter presence, with seven of them operating a dedicated customer service feed. Only Superdrug and Boots do not use Twitter for customer service or complaint handling.

American Airlines' approach to social has undergone a huge period of transition in the past few years.
The evolution came thanks to a new strategy that was aimed at developing social as a responsive, efficient customer service channel.
At Socialbakers' Engage NYC event today American Airlines' social communications analyst Katy Phillips described how and why the company's approach to social had developed since 2011.
Up until two years ago American's social channels were handled in partnership with a PR firm, however it was felt that in order to properly resolve customer service queries social needed to handled exclusively in-house.

Snapchat, the equally popular and controversial photo-sharing site, has edged out Facebook in being the most frequently used platform to upload photos.
Out of 809m daily photo uploads in November 2013 so far, Snapchat has a 49% share (accounting for approximately 400m daily uploads), with Facebook now at 43%.
This 400m figure has grown from the reported 350m in September 2013 and a previous figure of 200m in June 2013.

I am kicking off my top prospects lists with one of the deepest systems in all of baseball, the Arizona Diamondbacks. They have more pitching depth than any system in the game I have seven of their top eight prospects as pitchers.
Why top 16? Well, because I can choose which ever number I want and it is one of my favorite numbers thanks to my favorite athlete of all-time: Joe Montana. And the number is arbitrary enough to get people asking "why 16 prospects?" Other than those, there is no real reason as to why I chose 16.
Below are my top 16 prospects with 2012 opening day age and position and comments on each player. Below the top 16 is a small list of notable names. Enjoy.

Wates Living Space has donated a brand new kitchen to a local community centre on the Berner Estate, Shadwell – in a bid to stop it from closing down.
The Children's Education Community Group, who provide vital lunches for older residents, approached Tower Hamlets Homes and asked for help after their ageing kitchen was falling apart and in danger of shutting down for good.
We asked Decent Homes contractor, Wates Living Space, as part of their commitment to invest in the communities they work in, if they could help.
Andrew Grant, Project Manager, Wates Living Space, said, "We were really pleased to be able to help local residents. We donated all the materials and labour needed to modernise the kitchen."
Jamalur Rahman, Chair of the Children's Education Group, said the centre 'looks so much better'. "The new kitchen means we'll be able to continue to provide essential services to local people."
Gavin Cansfield, Chief Executive of Tower Hamlets Homes said, "I know the Children's Education Group very well and I know that they provide vitally important services for their neighbourhoods. It's great to see them benefiting from their new kitchen."

I was already a follower of her blog when she posted this tutorial on a baby blanket. It was jaw-dropping. So, once I had the opportunity to make one, I did!
I am delivering this to my niece today at her baby shower. {Due in April!}
Here are my fabrics I started with.
There's even a handy little tool you can buy that makes the cutting alot easier and faster. Otherwise, you cut each channel with scissors {Ouch!}. I am certain I will be making many more of these in the future, so I went ahead and doled out the cash
I love the texture and softness the chenille creates
On the chenille cutter, it suggests using 4-8 pieces of flannel for the backing {I used 3}, and next time I will definitley use 4…maybe 5 if I'm feeling lucky…

Brown v. Board of Education: Personality Damage as a Constitutional Issue
Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 case that overturned school segregation, and certainly one of the most important of the twentieth century, was also the first to place psychological arguments at the very heart of a Supreme Court decision. The Court's fondness for social science dated back to Muller v. Oregon in 1908, a case that deployed data collected by social researchers and settlement house
workers to argue that the constitutionality of protective legislation limiting women's work hours should be upheld. (It was.) But Brown went further. It illustrated how effectively psychological perspectives on the development of racial identity, and the damage done to it by prejudice, could penetrate the public sphere as constitutional issues.
In 1951 Robert Carter and Thurgood Marshall of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund put out the call for social-scientific help in the state-level cases that preceded Brown. Marshall explained what was considered a chancy and extremely unorthodox legal strategy as follows.
I told the staff that we had to try this case [Briggs v. Elliott in South Carolina] just like any other one in which you would try to prove damages to your client. If your car ran over my client, you'd have to pay up, and my function as an attorney would be to put experts on the stand to testify to how much damage was done. We needed exactly that kind of evidence in the school cases. When Bob Carter came to me with Ken Clark's doll test, I thought it was a promising way of showing injury to these segregated youngsters.[62]
Organized by Kenneth Clark, psychologists did indeed attempt to prove damages in Briggs v. Elliott and the other cases that led up to Brown .[63] Consider, for example, Clark's own role in Briggs. He administered a psychological test (very similar to the coloring test described above, but employing dolls instead) to the children in whose name the suit had been brought. Then he offered the following testimony to the court, in which many of the themes of postwar psychological research and theory on racial identity can be found.
I have reached the conclusion that discrimination, prejudice and segregation have definitely detrimental effects on the personality development of the Negro child. The essence of this detrimental effect is a confusion in the child's concept of his own self-esteem—basic feelings of inferiority, conflict, confusion in the self-image, resentment, hostility towards himself, hostility towards whites . . . [or] a desire to resolve his basic conflict by sometimes escaping or withdrawing .[64]
Arguments such as these did not significantly sway the judges involved, who sided with the state, but the NAACP legal team did not abandon the strategy of showing damage. When the Brown case was being prepared, members of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI) were asked to write a summary statement of the supportive testimony that social and behavioral scientists had offered in all the school segregation cases to that point. SPSSI formed a committee in order to comply with this request and eventually the statement was
signed by thirty-two behavioral scientists and filed as an appendix to the appellants' brief in Brown .[65] The signatories comprised an honor roll of World War II-era experts; many had pioneered work on the effects of prejudice on wartime morale. They included Gordon Allport, Hadley Cantril, Kenneth Clark, Mamie Clark, Else Frenkel-Brunswik, Otto Klineberg, Alfred McClung Lee, R. Nevitt Sanford, and Samuel Stouffer.
The statement itself was titled "The Effects of Segregation and the Consequences of Desegregation: A Social Science Statement."[66] Admitting that the question of personality was located "on the frontiers of scientific knowledge," it nevertheless made a forceful case that "segregation, prejudices and discriminations, and their social concomitants potentially damage the personality of all children—the children of the majority group in a somewhat different way than the more obviously damaged children of the minority group."[67] The damage was done through a process that destroyed self-esteem (in the case of black children) and generated guilt feelings, unrealistic rationalizations, and uncritical idealization of authority (in the case of white children). The authors had been influenced by Myrdal's faith in the "American Creed" as well as by their own work in the field of race relations. While the statement was being prepared, Gordon Allport wrote to Kenneth Clark,
The one point that I hope will be made to the Supreme Court is this: People really know that segregation is un-American, even the masses in the South know it. They also have prejudices. This mental conflict is acute. . . . But, let the backbone come from the Supreme Court, and it will strengthen the moral backbone of those who now live in conflict. The decision will be accepted with only a flurry of anger, and soon subside. People do accept legislation that fortifies their inner conscience.[68]
The finished product made empirical evidence of psychological damage the focal point of the argument. Because twisted psychology could have such negative social consequences—riots and racial violence were the events most frequently cited—immediate action should be taken to desegregate schools. The statement tried to convince its audience that behavioral science, during World War II and in the years since, pointed inevitably toward this goal. It tried to reassure the Supreme Court justices that desegregation would proceed smoothly and nonviolently provided their decision was firm and united.
The statement was a huge success. The Brown decision argued that racial segregation in educational institutions had to be eliminated, not
only because it violated the civil rights of black schoolchildren, but because it damaged the integrity of their psychological development. The opinion respectfully noted the contemporary insights of "psychological knowledge."
To separate them [black students] from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone. . . . A sense of inferiority. affects the motivation of a child to learn. . . . Whatever may have been the extent of psychological knowledge at the time of Plessy v. Ferguson, this finding is amply supported by modern authority.[69]
Kenneth Clark's work and his impact on the Midcentury White House Conference were prominently noted in Brown's eleventh footnote, along with references to the work of Gunnar Myrdal, E. Franklin Frazier, and others.[70] The decision produced an unprecedented level of concerted debate about the role of such evidence and the apparent legal power of psychology's "modern authority." The decision's opponents reacted by, on the one hand, mounting McCarthyite attacks on the "socialism" of the social sciences and, on the other, by enlisting social science on the side of segregation.[71]
Brown was celebrated as well as scrutinized. Throughout the social scientific community, the decision was greeted with an outpouring of jubilation. In 1954 Senator McCarthy was censured by the Senate and the temperature of domestic anticommunism was finally starting to drop. Most experts probably thought the camouflage that racist reactionaries had found in anti-Communist rhetoric was transparent, and no real threat to their status. Apparently unconcerned, many psychologists continued to work with the NAACP, and other civil rights organizations, putting themselves at the service of legal and political strategies designed to thwart resistance to Brown throughout the South.[72] As had been the case during World War II, doing the right thing and advancing the causes of science and professionalization were so tightly enmeshed as to be inseparable. Experts associated with the Brown statement exulted in the view that the 1954 decision had been "a landmark in the development and practical significance of the social sciences."[73]
Subsequent developments would cause some of them to rethink this view. White resistance to Brown, which materialized immediately and sometimes took shocking and violent forms, made it plain that predictions (such as Allport's, quoted above) of orderly compliance with the "American Creed" had been overstated, to put it mildly. Desegregation
efforts during the fifteen years following Brown offered no convincing data that the tide of psychological damage had been stemmed, either among whites or blacks. If anything, self-esteem became an increasingly public issue as time passed. After the civil rights movement's turn toward nationalism in the mid-1960s, black activists expressed great hostility toward arguments about the psychological damage wrought by segregation. Instead of repeating old maxims about the disorganizing effects of slavery, they dusted off histories of slave resistance, emphasized the cohesiveness of black families, and celebrated the resilience of black culture over time. Infused with pride, many black Americans were no longer willing to serve as exemplars of psychological debility and, as often as not, turned the tables completely. White Americans were now accused of being "sick" or "pathological."
It was after this sea change in the movement that "The Effects of Segregation and the Consequences of Desegregation" came under fire for being a premature, naive, and unrealistic contribution to public policy. The self-esteem of southern black children was, it turned out in subsequent studies, higher than their northern counterparts. This finding, which prompted a cautious reassessment of segregation among advocates of integration, was not lost on advocates of black separatism like Malcolm X. In defense, Stuart Cook, one of the authors of the original statement, reasserted his belief that "we must neither underestimate the potential value of social science knowledge to significant societal decisions nor overlook our obligation to make that knowledge available when and where it is needed."[74] This did not really answer the question, however, of how an allegedly scientific consensus had failed rather miserably to predict the course of desegregation and stand the test of close examination. If psychological recommendations for repairing personality damage had turned out not to be scientifically valid after all, what claims could psychological experts possibly make to influence future public policy?[75]

Cogeco President and CEO Talks with Globe and Mail
Louis Audet recently sat down with the Globe and Mail and had a few things to say. The article is here:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe...rticle4416138/ I would dearly like to know what the cable improvements will mean to their customers. Can we expect to see additional programming content? I would also very much like to see a wireless carrier in their future as well. I don't know why they haven't moved on this before. Any thoughts as to what we can expect? |

Very Timely
I live in Burlington ON and a few weeks ago Cogeco's cable was cut by outside contract workers who do not understand "Call Before You Dig". First our internet went out then the TV some time later. It was only sometime later than I discovered the cut cable problem. I phoned Cogeco and went thru the usual long winded "how may we help you?" multiple choice press 2 or 3, try this, try that before you bug us.
After I convinced a CR that yes I had unplugged the modem for 30 seconds, bypassed the router yada, yada, yada she said someone would be out next Tuesday between 8 and 5. This was a Monday so I could be without internet FOR EIGHT DAYS !!! I took the RCA modem to the Cogeco store front at Burlington Mall and exchanged for another which would be the 3rd exchange in past two years. First two were faulty, latest one OK as it turned out. I live in a 24 unit townhouse complex, mostly eldery residents who are not on internet or watching TV all day long. I phoned two neighbours and yes they did not have TV or internet either. "Did you call Cogeco?" Neither had bothered. Life goes on I guess. I then phoned Cogeco again and after being informed of the situation, he checked and oh yes, there is a problem in your area. If the first CR had taken 10 seconds of her time to check the service she would have seen the far-reaching problem. Duh! Cogeco service truck arrives, the hole that the contractors dug was at least 6 feet deep and there was the severed cable(s). Back in business after several hours of diddling around. Yesterday (FRIDAY July 13 .... bad omen) the internet and cable went out in late morning or early afternoon. Also TV so I went out to yell at outside contractors that they had cut the cable again. They said it was not them and they had been informed 5 minutes before that the TV was out "everywhere". A call to Cogeco eventually led to a recorded message that Cogeco was having outages across much of Burlington. Not good. Around the supper hour I phoned again to get the latest pre recorded update. Now it was cable outages across much of Burlington, Hamilton and Vineland (Niagara Penninsula) plus another location which I forget so this was a real biggy. Finally back in business just a few minutes before 10pm Here's the kicker: My sister-in-law lives about 2 blocks from us and comes over nightly to help my wife who has MS get ready for bed. She is with Cogeco and never lost connections. She confirmed that she was on the internet from just after lunch to around 4pm. She watched the Blue Jays game from 7pm in its entirety. What sort of feed system is in play with Cogeco. Cogeco was a poster child for good or even great service, pleasant techys etc. Most techys still great but service response times is a 1 out of 10 rating. Time for another interview by the Globe and Mail. Times are a-changin' |

1pm July 14.
Guess What??!!! Shortly after posting above this morning the internet and TV went down, AGAIN! Called Cogeco (weekend summer staff) and no recorded message. Techy checked and yes there is a problem in our general part of town, unrelated to yesterday's wide spread outages. They have people out working on it. Sure you do. Back up for the moment around 12:30pm. I do not intend to start reading any stories that are continued. Time to look into Bell which just became available in our area. Can't believe I would do that but Cogeco is not the company it once was. Last edited by 57; 2012-07-14 at 02:42 PM. Reason: OT Question removed from post. |

This is the time of year when construction (and the requisite digging) occur. You can hardly fault Cogeco for the negligent behaviour of a contractor.
And with fibre serving smaller and smaller areas, localized outages due to fibre cuts are not uncommon. Assuming the contractor hit a fibre line...though they may have hit a trunk coax cable....

Afrojack set to headline Dubai Music Festival
Grammy Award-winning Afrojack is heading to Dubai, his "favourite vacation/party place" to headline the dXb Music Festival.
"I'm so excited for the dXb Festival," he said. "I haven't been to Dubai in about six months so I can't wait to rock it with you guys."
Fresh of the back of a busy music festival schedule which included a headline spot at the Ultra Music Festival, Wireless Festival, Coachella and Tomorrowland, the Dutch producer is currently enjoying sell-out tour status across Europe and the US. He has collaborated with some of the industry's leading names including Madonna on a remix of Revolver which earned him his Grammy, David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Diplo, Kid Cudi, Pitbull and the Black Eyed Peas.
Ultimate party rockers LMFAO and Pete Wentz headlined the first dXb Music Festival last September, hosted by music giants Live Nation.
This year's edition takes place on October 5 at Festival Park, Al Badia Festival City and will see Afrojack joined by G6 producers, Far East Movement, and Kaskade with other names to follow.
"We are excited to perform for the first time in the Middle East," said the group who were catapulted to fame with the success of Like a G6 making history as the first number one hit ever achieved by Asian Americans.
"We are going to turn up the love, bringing you that dirty bass so everyone get your hands up and get ready to party with the Far East Movement."
Billboard Top 10 frequenter Ryan Reddon, known musically as Kaskade has been tagged the "new face of electronic dance music" by The New York Times.
Tyler Mervyn, Managing Director of Live Nation Middle East said: "We are thrilled to announce the return of the dXb Music Festival this year, with international chart topping headliners Afrojack, Far East Movement and Kaskade. Stay tuned for more announcements with the most exciting line up of the festival season."
Tickets go on sale on August 15 and the full festival line up will be announced shortly, according to organisers.

All bandwidth.

Right is that right and what does it mean.
Well based on the results of the study and -- been poring over the results if it does seem to be fairly accurate and I think it's because.
People load.
Unlimited video that they can get for a monthly price in this case eight dollars a month and even though there's competing services.
And that same study Amazon was around 1% and Hulu was in the same ballpark so despite the fact that Netflix increased their prices about a year ago and there is that backlash because people want him to get the desk.
And the unlimited Internet for the same price they.
The Smartphone bandwidth capacity OK not yet.
A pet and the reason is -- because on the mobile side YouTube is actually the biggest mover right now there about 30% follow along with a caveat I'm gonna Smartphone.
I'm using YouTube mall than amusing Netflix which makes sense because a lot of people if you think about the the usage habits.
People who were on their phones and on the go a lot of it this contents snack right to -- -- -- 32 to think that Netflix will be used more on Smartphones and and do the transfer over to mobile.
Eventually especially as it if you talk about that AT&T investment with a four GL TE speeds in order to watch a full.
Video like a movie or TV show you need to have really good and -- And the reason why they're investing -- that is because you don't want those by offering delays if you're crucial plot point you don't want to see like dot dot dot dot front right so.
I think over time you're gonna see more long form video content including Netflix about these are gonna expand -- -- the networks exact that's what AT&T spending fourteen billion on yes and they're behind in the race you know between men and Verizon and our own tests -- we've found that Verizon's network to be a lot more reliable so I'm in the -- -- -- and the freehold New Jersey and I'm just amazed that I'm getting -- which is their fastest speeds.
And the suburbs whereas with felt guilty on AT&T there only -- idiom eighty markets so it's eighty vs 400.
Which is why AT&T is making such a big investment they have to catch up.
So it should you think's a good investment and it would going to be using mobile bandwidth in years ahead.
Yeah because we want to watch anything anywhere any time that includes mobile.
So we've got do we have to therefore expand rapidly and big time -- net what capacity.
We do in and a lot of the carriers are begging to it to free up additional spectrum for that very purpose.
And and I think that Verizon and its -- is also investing heavily that's why you have.

Game Notes: | ALTOONA- The Mount Aloysius men's basketball team fell on the road 72-69 to rival Penn State-Altoona in AMCC action on Wednesday evening. After being down double-digits at halftime and deep into the second half, the Mount fought back and tied things up with just over a minute to play on a Jeff Stem layup. With the scored tied at 68-68, Altoona's Michael Wigfield hit a jumper in the paint with 38 seconds to play. Stem was unsuccessful on a three-point try on the Mount's ensuing possession. After Altoona's Jonathan Ross hit two free throws with 11 seconds remaining to make it 72-68, the Mount's Demetrius Davis was fouled with four seconds left. He nailed the first free throw, but the Mount couldn't convert after Davario Barksdale grabbed an offensive rebound on the next free throw. The Mounties shot just 25-for-68 (36.8%) from the field while Altoona shot 50.9%, including 10-for-23 from three-point range. Davis led the Mount with 20 points and six rebounds. Dameon Turner recorded 10 points, six boards and four assists. Altoona, which had four players in double figures, was paced by Durant Harvin's 18 points. The Mount will look to get back on track with a 3 p.m. tipoff at home Saturday against Pitt-Bradford. |

I recently bought a N400 and love it. I also own a GT-3RS Porsche and the Aston is a perfect car for long trips that I just did in NAPA 2400 miles that were great. It gets lots of looks and it handles great!
Transmission downshifting is strange at times, it searches for lower gears in the automatic mode. It could use a little more Horsepower.

Samuel Collins Had A Big Appetite
New Port Richey, FL (The Weekly Vice) - Samuel Fredrick Collins, a 28-year-old Fort Lauderdale man, was jailed Saturday after he allegedly ate a bag of pot and washed it down with a cheeseburger.
According to the Pasco County Sheriff's Department, a deputy pulled over Collin's Honda Del Sol around 2:30 P.M after he reportedly tossed a McDonald's bag out the window.
When the officer approached the vehicle, he saw what appeared to be a bag of marijuana stuffed in Collins's mouth. He also appeared to be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
When asked to spit out the bag, Collins crammed a double cheeseburger in his mouth and attempted to swallow everything. The deputy then grabbed his arm and forced him to the ground.
Investigators say Collins then spit out the baggie and another small clear wrapper with more marijuana. There was also a joint sitting in plain view on the passenger seat.
Collins told deputies that he had a suspended license and feared arrest. He also stated that he was sorry for trying to swallow the weed.
Collins was booked into the Land O' Lakes jail and charged with marijuana possession (under 20 grams), tampering with evidence, and driving without a license. He was released after posting $150 bond for the possession charge and an additional $5,000 for the tampering charge.
Records show Collins was arrested on New Year's Day this year for failing to appear in court on a previous marijuana charge.

Why not let the voters in NYC decide who will succeed him? I know it´s a novel idea, and they will undoubtedly pick another fool for mayor, but they ought to pretend we still have a representative republic.
Her better option is to trade places with John Kerry. Would the voters in Massachusetts care that she was not a resident? Did the voters of New York?
Absolutely perfectly Bloomberg. We the people do not exist. We don´t get to have elections. When he wanted to break the term limit law he didn´t subject himself to a difficult public spectacle. Instead, he called fellow millionaire and billionaire newspaper publishers at the NY Times, NY Daily News, and NY Post. He met with each separately and asked for their editorial approval for his third term. Flattered, they all agreed to give their newspapers´ support. No muss, no fuss.

Preparing for a New River
Klallam tribal members make plans for holy ancestral sites to resurface after the unparalleled removal of nearby dams
- By Abigail Tucker
- Photographs by Brian Smale
- Smithsonian magazine, December 2011, Subscribe
The turquoise, snow-fed Elwha River crashes through the cedar forests of Washington's Olympic Peninsula. In the early 1900s, the river was dammed to generate electricity for a nearby logging town, but the dams devastated the Klallam Indians who had lived along the Elwha for thousands of years. The structures blocked the river's salmon runs and flooded a sacred place on the riverbanks considered the tribe's creation site.
Now the two antique dams are being dismantled—the largest and most ambitious undertaking of its kind in U.S. history. Demolition began this past September and will take three years to complete. It will free up some 70 miles of salmon habitat and allow the fish to reach their upstream spawning grounds again. Scientists expect a boom in bald eagles, bear and other creatures that gorge on salmon.
The Klallam people, who have lobbied for the dams' removal for decades, are preparing their children for the river's renaissance. The Elwha Science Education Project, hosted by NatureBridge, an environmental education organization, has held camps and field trips for youths from the Lower Elwha Klallam and other tribes to acquaint them with the changing ecosystem—and maybe spark an interest in watershed science.
"We want them to say, 'I could be fixing this river,'" says Rob Young, the coastal geoscientist who designed the program. "'I could be helping it heal. I could be uncovering sacred sites. That can be me. And it should be me.'"
When I visited a camp, held in Olympic National Park, some of the middle schoolers already knew the Elwha's saga well; others couldn't spell the river's name. But for a week, all of them were immersed in ecology and ancestral culture. They went on a hike to a nearby hot spring. They listened to tribal stories. They played Plenty o' Fish, a rather cerebral game in which they weighed a fisheries biologist's advice about salmon harvests against a greedy grocery store agent's bribes. They studied how their ancestors pounded fern roots into flour, made snowberries into medicine and smoked salmon over alder wood fires.
The kids helped repot seedlings in a park nursery where hundreds of thousands of plants are being grown to replant the river valley after the reservoirs are drained. The nursery manager, Dave Allen, explained how important it is that invasive plants don't elbow out the native species when the soil is exposed and vulnerable. "You guys will have lived your lives and this will still be evolving and changing into forest," Allen told the kids. "When you are old people—older than I am, even—you'll still be seeing differences."
The highlight of the week was a canoe journey and campout across Lake Crescent. The kids occupied two huge fiberglass canoes. Each crew had dark designs on the other, with much splashing between the boats, and they wanted to race, but their competitive passions outstripped their paddling skills and the canoes turned in slow circles.
Dinner that night, cooked over a fire among the fragrant cedars, was native foods, supplemented by teriyaki chicken bused over from the dining hall. The steamed stinging nettles tasted something like spinach. The kids gagged over the raw oysters, but when the counselors cooked the shellfish on the campfire rocks, everybody asked for seconds.
Afterward, the children sang one of the tribe's few surviving songs. Far from an enthusiastic paddling anthem, the haunting "Klallam Love Song" is about absence, longing and the possibility of return. Tribal members would sing it when their loved ones were away. The words are simple, repeated over and over. "Sweetheart, sweetheart," they would cry. "You are so very far far away; my heart aches for you."
Abigail Tucker wrote recently about beer archaeology and Virginia's bluegrass music. Brian Smale is based in Seattle.

Nice story. What it omits, however, is the native american decision to support a genetically mixed population of salmon, against the advice of fisheries biologists. This was done to ensure immediate access to more fish. Not a good longterm strategy to ensure the highest quality environment. Another flawed decision for short term gain, with longterm sacrifice.

Congratulations to the Klallam people. This is a beautiful story.

Greetings Smithsonian Magazine Editors:
Happy Holidays! I want to thank you for your December 2011 issue featuring an informative essay and photographs regarding Washington State- Oloympic Peninsula dam removals. These dams were installed about one century ago. (They were easier to install than tear down!) But the combined efforts from public media, enviroment advocates, citizen input, foresight and planning, tribal and community involvement, and official actions by leaders of all levels of government and legislators, too, have resulted in positive action and results. Unfortunately our state government is in ral financial trouble. State support and funding for all state fish hatcheries are under review by hard-pressed legislators who must drastically reduce state expenditures at all levels for a (supposedly) balanced budget. Hopefully despite this, spawning fish will return to Olympic Peninsula inland waters. A resident of Washington state and Smithsonian Magazine subscriber says Thanks for your essay! Judy Buettner

By Caitlin Dineen Staff writer
LAURINBURG - Even four days after discovering an old Laurinburg cemetery had been vandalized, city cemetery officials are grappling with the idea that someone would cause so much damage.
"It takes somebody evil to come in there and do that," said Rodney Byrd, Laurinburg Cemetery supervisor. "I wouldn't dare go and bother anybody that's at rest."
Byrd said a grave digger walking through the Old Hillside Cemetery on Monday discovered the damage and reported it.
Byrd said the vandalism, which includes significant damage to at least a dozen of the city's oldest headstones, must have happened during the weekend when the cemetery was not being patrolled.
Under a city ordinance, visitors are not permitted in the cemetery from dusk to dawn.
Byrd said this is the first time the Old Hillside Cemetery has been targeted by vandals. Items have been stolen from other Laurinburg cemeteries, but the devastation of this act of vandalism has upset Byrd and others in the city.
"These markers are irreplaceable," he said. "They are so old I don't even know where to put a price on them."
Byrd said a lot of the destroyed markers were damaged beyond repair and, as they are about a century old, the names and dates on them are no longer legible.
Byrd said crews have spent the last several days tracking down who purchased the plots to contact family members and alert them to the crime. He does not expect to be able to contact them all.
Laurinburg police Lt. Marc Godwin said officers have increased security at the cemetery and the investigation is ongoing. He said the vandalism did not target a specific family, but rather was general destruction.
All that's left for Byrd and other city officials is to see what markers can be repaired and search for missing pieces.
"To be honest, they didn't just break them, they scattered them," he said. "It'll be like putting a puzzle together."
Anyone with information about the crime is urged to contact Laurinburg police at 910-276-3211.

As with my most re-reads of The Hunger Games and Catching Fire I'm realizing (once again) how much things change between re-reads based on where you are in your life, what you're doing in life and any other number of uncontrollable factors. Looking back on my original review in September 2010, I see that my thoughts haven't changed too much, but my understanding and appreciation of Collins' storytelling/building has increased.
I'll go ahead and get my major gripe of Catching Fire and Mockingjay out-of-the-way: these were not two books, they were one book that was split into two. They had to have been! And I can't imagine the movie studio splitting the third book into two films unless they are going to add in a lot of additional information that is missing from the series. I mean sure, the books have contained beginnings, middles and ends, but the two books cannot stand alone because their plots are in essence the same plot. In comparison you have the encapsulated first novel. As with the last two reviews don't read past here if you don't want anything revealed! (AKA SPOILERS!)

Film Fridays is personal creative adventure using the very establish medium of film. Can you hear me chanting, Film is NOT dead, as I wave my camera that is heavier than my 3 year toddler. The funny part of this adventure is learning how to help the people or passerby's pick up their jaws from the floor after they ask me about my camera and I tell them that I shoot film and no they can't see the picture on the back of my camera. My husband turns his nose up at film. He is a digital guy. If Steve Jobs wasn't involved in the technology, he isn't interested. So this adventure continues with another Friday of Film.
This Friday, I am sharing a roll from my family's vacation in the Hawaiian Islands. Our group theme is color and I think these fit with the rainbow of tropical hues experienced on our vacation. The first 7 or so of this series was shot mid day at the beach. See the detail in the highlights, very little blowout…I heart film! These were all shot using Fuji 400h on my medium format camera and developed/scanned by RPL using the Frontier scanner.
Join me in seeing how my fellow photographer and friend Cara Richardson | Phillip Island Photographer captures her world on film.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Jessie Evans
The suspect in a standoff is in custody after briefly managing to escape his home.
Police say suspect Jessie Evans had actually slipped away early on during the standoff, but officers did not realize it until they had gotten the suspect's children safely away from the home.
The situation started after the suspect's wife called police and said she had been assaulted by her husband. The wife told officers that she had been able to get away from the house, but that her husband and five children between the ages of 2 and 11 were still inside. Police say she believed her husband was suicidal, and reported that there were a lot of weapons inside the home.
Officers surrounded the home, located on Zion Drive near Airport and South Circle, shortly after noon Sunday and ordered neighbors to stay inside their homes. The kids came outside to play in the backyard and officers were able to escort them away from the house.
After getting the kids away from the house, officers made contact with Evans by phone. They say he first refused to come out, then eventually admitted that he wasn't at home at all. Evans finally told officers he was in the area of the MLK Bypass; police responded to the area and took him into custody without incident.
Evans, 32, faces charges of felony menacing, felony false imprisonment and third-degree assault.
