Driver suffers medical emergency, crashes rig into vehicles in Tamaqua
The driver of a tractor-trailer appeared to have suffered a medical problem while traveling through Tamaqua on Wednesday afternoon and his rig involved multiple vehicles in crashes along his path.
Borough police said Levi Horst, New Holland, was traveling south on state Route 309/North Railroad Street at about 2:40 p.m. when his truck crashed into the rear of a vehicle driven by Cindy Hutta, Coaldale, in the 400 block of North Railroad Street, disabling it.
As Horst continued south, his rig hit a parked car that was pushed up onto a sidewalk and almost into a home at 409 N. Railroad St., police said, and then hit another vehicle from behind twice. That vehicle, driven by Mark Zimmerman, Lansford, was hit first in the 300 block of North Railroad Street and the second time in the 100 block of North Railroad.
A fourth vehicle - a pickup truck driven by Kirk Oldt, Tamaqua - then was hit on the passenger side, damaging the right rear and mirror, police said. Oldt told police he was able to move his truck and followed the tractor-trailer south, and said he didn't see it hit any more vehicles.
When the tractor-trailer approached the Five Points intersection, however, it entered the left-turn lane and went through a steady red light, continuing south, and crashed into the rear of a vehicle driven by Kathleen Winn, Tamaqua, police said.
The impact disabled the tractor-trailer and caused a chain-reaction crash.
Police said Winn's vehicle hit the rear of a pickup truck driven by James Murphy, Tamaqua, which in turn hit the rear of a vehicle driven by Jodi Olesh, Coaldale.
Police said Winn was taken by ambulance to a helipad at Tamaqua Area High School and flown to St. Luke's hospital in Bethlehem.
Mark Zimmerman and his passenger, Cynthia Zimmerman, drove themselves to St. Luke's Miners Campus in Coaldale for neck pain after the crash, police said, while Olesh drove herself to the same hospital for back pain.
Horst was taken to St. Luke's in Coaldale for treatment of a head injury and it is suspected he suffered a medical emergency while driving, police said.
The investigation continues, and an inspection of the tractor-trailer will be done by state police.
Assisting at the scene were the Carbon County Sheriff's Department, Tamaqua East End Fire Company, Tamaqua Rescue Squad, two Tamaqua towing companies, Tamaqua Emergency Medical Services and Carbon County EMS medics 5616 and 5621.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I don't know what to do. My brother has all the power of attorney and medical. He said he had not executed it yet but has access to her bank accounts though he is not on them as of today. Oh yeah my brother gambles often and loses often. My mother is terminal and probably has a few months. I am being shut out so I have no idea what to do. I do not think it is wise for him to take her on this long trip with none of her doctors close by. She has insurance that will allow for someone to care for her at home but he told her not to use it instead he has my aunt who he is close to taking care of her. She is 74 and is in poor health. I am perplexed.
I guess my concern is she answers things intelligently but her behavior is out of character. SHe also seems paranoid and talks in a high faast voice.
Do I need a lawyer to ask for guardianship?
I will give you an example of two of the spending things she did recently
On Monday she plans to give my oldest daughter who has been in and out of court and rehab., Lost custody of her son because of drugs, $15000.
Last night she told my other daughter who has always been her favorite and is an excellent student and top athlete she would take out a restraining order against her. This is the opposite of my mom.
What kind of proof does the court need. THe doctor did tell me that the surgery effected her frontal lobe that controls behavior and emotion. The meds are causing the psychosis. I am afraid she will die hating me.
I meant to give a 2nd example. She spent over a $1000.00 calling home shopping networks. She remembers she called but doesn't remember what she bought. She just says they are things that will be needed.
My brother says she was just bored.
Big Question based on what little you have seen and there is more then this.
Do I have a chance of getting someone else put in charge? It doesn't have to be me I feel a nuetral person would be best. I fear she only has months so do the courts act quickly. My brother has hidden any information from me and knew all along this is terminal. Like I said I only found out 2 days ago and am still reeling from the shock. I kept asking but he told me he did not know. I feel this is called alienation of affection (heard that phrase a long time ago) as he has her in his house and controls the narrative. Can I sue him for this deciet?
Is there any way I can be allowed to see her in his house? I feel he is taking her on this trip to keep her close as she is easily influenced.

There are Oreos, beans, pearls and hourglasses flying through the moist, cool and amazingly green high-elevation cloud forests in the Ecuadorian Andes.
And, some of those species on the lush slopes are named in honor of University of Wyoming (UW) students, faculty members and alumni.
About half a world away – 12,000 miles – a newly discovered wasp in Thailand was named by the researchers in honor of Scott Shaw, professor of insect biology and classification at UW and curator of the UW Insect Museum. That wasp is in the same journal article that describes the Lady Gaga wasp. The Shaw species name, not nearly so flamboyant, is Aleiodes scottshawi.
Despite what you may be thinking, entomologists take naming new insect species they've discovered pretty seriously. UW Ph.D. student Guinevere Jones names 10 new species of Meteorus wasps in an article published in the November issue of the journal Zootaxa. Shaw, her adviser, is coauthor of the paper.

SD continues outsourcing ambulance service
The push by former Mayor Bob Filner to end the outsourcing of the city's ambulance service and have it run by the Fire-Rescue Department has been shelved by interim Mayor Todd Gloria.
Gloria, who took over after Filner resigned Aug. 30 because of misconduct toward women, has proposed renewing the city's current contract with Rural/Metro Corp. for an additional year and then putting a new five-year ambulance contract up for competitive bid. That request-for-proposals, however, wouldn't allow city firefighters to submit a bid because top fire officials were heavily involved in creating the RFP.
Civic debate over who should own and operate the city's ambulances began in 2011 when financial irregularities were discovered in San Diego Medical Services Enterprise, the public-private partnership the city created with Rural/Metro in 1997. That partnership was dissolved in favor of a more traditional outsourcing deal with Rural/Metro.
Former Mayor Jerry Sanders and his staff developed an RFP for a new ambulance contract by late 2012, but Filner refused to begin the bidding process because he wanted to study taking the service in-house under the Fire-Rescue Department. The city firefighters union has been lobbying hard for the opportunity, saying their skilled professionals can get the job done for less money because they don't have the profit motive of private companies.
Gloria said there were too many outstanding questions and issues of concern to move forward with that option. Those included the initial capital cost of buying ambulances, the question of whether the city can implement an adequate cost-recovery system, the loss of the outside operator's licensing fee (currently $10 million) and the potential impact of Obamacare.
"When considering the most appropriate avenue forward, the reliability of the overall system for the ongoing safety of our citizens and our visitors was the key consideration," Gloria said in an Tuesday memo announcing his decision.
The move effectively kills any immediate chance that the Fire-Rescue Department could take over the ambulance service as Gloria most likely represents the City Council's swing vote on the issue. Democrats generally favor the firefighters' proposal while Republicans prefer outsourcing.
Frank De Clercq, head of the firefighters union, said he was shocked by Gloria's decision because it flies in the face of Proposition C, a 2006 ballot measure that voters approved that allows city employees to compete against the private sector for certain services through managed competition.
"We take issue with making a policy decision that prevents the firefighters from bidding and violates the will of the voters and the intent of Prop. C," De Clercq said.
A subsequent 2008 initiative prohibits the city from putting public-safety services through managed competition. Gloria spokeswoman Katie Keach also said the managed competition rules don't apply to ambulance service because it has already been outsourced.
Gloria's decision was part of a discussion Wednesday before the City Council's public-safety committee chaired by Councilwoman Marti Emerald. She and Councilwoman Myrtle Cole, both Democrats, expressed disappointment that firefighters would be excluded from the coming RFP process.
"My disappointment here is no reflection of our current contractor, Rural/Metro," Emerald said. "They've been an incredible partner to the city of San Diego. We've had some rocky times the last couple of years, but I think they've come through it with a lot of grace."
Rural/Metro's reputation took a hit in recent years when it was accused of financial irregularities related to the partnership, although an independent forensic accounting found no evidence of wrongdoing. The company filed for bankruptcy in August but service has gone on uninterrupted.
At least two other ambulance companies, Falck USA and American Medical Response, have been eyeing the city's contract for years. It looks like they'll soon get their chance to bid for a new five-year deal that would begin July 1, 2015.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) -- Darrin Reaves rushed for a season-high 223 yards and two touchdowns and Alabama-Birmingham erased a 16-point halftime deficit to defeat Southern Mississippi 27-19 Saturday night.
The Golden Eagles (0-9, 0-6 Conference USA) led 16-0 at the half, but the Blazers (2-7, 1-4) scored three second-half touchdowns and hit two long field goals to seal the comeback.
Reaves rushed for 169 of his 223 yards in the second half and scored on plays of 14 and 8 yards.
Reaves' first touchdown put the Blazers on the board just after the half. His second put the game out of reach with 2:41 left.
UAB quarterback Austin Brown recovered from a shaky first half to complete 17 of his 29 pass attempts for 228 yards, including a third-quarter, 18-yard touchdown pass to Sam Accursio.
The Blazers' defense held Southern Miss to 117 yards of total offense and forced two second-half turnovers.

Information for Sponsors
The Senior Experience Program matches consulting teams of students with projects submitted by local businesses and organizations. Students gain by working as consultants on rigorous, real-world projects that require teamwork and application of classroom knowledge. Businesses gain by receiving concentrated attention from bright, energetic teams that provide a fresh, independent look at their projects. Each student team works under the supervision of a faculty member.
To date, over 1,400 projects have been completed for over 1,100 local businesses and organizations. The nature of the problems or projects chosen for the Senior Experience will vary according to the organization.
Working with a team of students is also an excellent and inexpensive way to find prospective employees. Nationally, roughly 60% of such students offered a full-time position accept. And, the one year retention rate is 76%, higher than the 61% retention rate of students who have not completed such a program.

The star of a Canadian reality TV show has joined in the search for missing Xbox Live gamer Brandon Crisp.
As reported by the Vancouver Sun, Terry Grant, who stars in Mantracker, arrived at the seach location on Friday evening. Barrie Police Dept. spokesman Sgt. Dave Goodbrand commented:
He has followed the story for a number of days and he has come to assist with the volunteer party.
Meanwhile, Simcoe.com has these remarks from Grant:
Search and rescue is what I've done for 12 years. I thought it's a worthwhile cause to come out here and see if I can help organize some of the volunteers and give a little bit of guidance where necessary… This [search operation] is huge. The volunteers who are organizing this are doing an awesome job. They are going above and beyond here.
A Wikipedia entry for the Mantracker program summarizes its format:
Two people take off into the bush with a map, a compass and a head start. The tracker is on horseback, armed with a local guide and an arsenal of forensic skills. The prey have 36 hours to reach a finish line some 40 kilometers away without getting caught. How they escape is up to them.
Brandon is reportedly a fan of the show.

Logan Heights honors fallen female soldier
'It's the business we chose. Sometimes we get to come home.'
The neighborhood of Logan Heights came together Friday to honor Army Capt. Jennifer Moreno, one of their own.
Moreno, a 25-year-old Army nurse, was killed by a bomb Oct. 6 in Afghanistan. She was attached to an Army Ranger unit to handle interactions with Afghan women, a job that she volunteered for but also one that placed her in the middle of the fight.
Veterans from Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan saluted while the flag in Chicano Park was raised and then lowered to half-staff.
Like many of them, Moreno's list of decorations now includes the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, hers awarded posthumously.
Moreno attended San Diego High School, where she was involved with junior ROTC.
A friend from school days said that, first, Jennifer wanted to be a nurse, to help people.
Second, she wanted to join the military. Moreno went on to get an officer's commission after graduating with a nursing degree from the University of San Francisco.
"It was something she was always passionate about," said Noelia Antunez, who remembers early morning and after-school military drills with Moreno.
"She was always there, supporting everybody, asking if anybody needed help."
In her spare time, Moreno kept close to her mother, two sisters and brother, Antunez said. Moreno's brother also serves in the Army.
"She loved to spend time with her family. They are a very close-knit family, especially since her brother took on the role of their father," she said.
The family's grief was evident on Friday. Mother Maria Cordova wept openly and had to be supported to her chair before the ceremony.
When City Councilman David Alvarez presented her with a proclamation honoring her soldier daughter, Cordova embraced the plaque, lowering her head over it.
Marine Corps veteran John Crespin went down on one knee to comfort the grieving mother.
"I'm a parent. I have two daughters. The last thing, God forbid, is that anything should happen to our children. Our children are sacred. They are not supposed to go before us," Crespin said, addressing the audience in front of the Logan Heights Veterans Memorial in the park.
But, he added, it was a job that Moreno welcomed.
"It's the business we chose," the Vietnam combat veteran said. "Sometimes we get to come home. Sometimes we don't."
Barrio Logan is home to Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7420, and its members filled the ceremony. One by one, these mostly older men bent over the grieving Maria Cordova and clasped her hand.
Moreno was posthumously promoted to captain, an Army representative at the service said.
Marine Corps veteran Aurora Sanks didn't know Moreno, but she came to Chicano Park to honor another woman who went into harm's way.
"When a female dies in the service of her country, it affects us. It's a small sorority," said Sanks, who pointed to the long scar on her knee, which came courtesy of a terrorist's roadside bomb.
And, she said, "As a mother, I understand. I have a daughter in the Air Force."
Navy master-at-arms Olga Mireles came in uniform to honor Moreno, and her family.
"Females who have served, we raise our right hands, we volunteer to go to Iraq and Afghanistan. Historically, we haven't had as much recognition," said Mireles, who worked in detainee operations and served in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay.
"A sister from San Diego who raised her right hand to go to Afghanistan, I want to support and recognize that," she said.
Moreno and the three other soldiers were killed early Sunday after a suicide bomber detonated an explosive vest during a night raid for a high-value Taliban target, said Lt. Col. Brian DeSantis, a spokesman for the 75th Ranger Regiment based at Fort Benning, Ga.

Gov. Scott's Choice: Greatness Or Mediocre
Gov. Rick Scott is going to have to make a choice very soon: Does he want to be a Chris Christie or Arnold Schwarzenegger*? In other words, does he want to be known as a great governor or a mediocre governor? This, of course, is not really a choice. Hell, even Barack Obama said he rather be a great one-termer than a mediocre two-termer**.

Every place is different, but neglected public space have something in common: there are few resources available. The group of volunteers decided early on that they were not interested in creating some one-off project. Community leader Tori Bush of the Creative Alliance of New Orleans, Sergio Padilla, Austin Lukes, Tara Foster, Patrick Kelly, Ryan Bordenave, Alyson Kilday, Ella Camburnbeck, Jeffrey Scanlan and Zach Gong challenged themselves to improve an intersection with an affordable and accessible project that could be replicated on similarly lacking corners across New Orleans, or for that matter, anywhere.
Working in public space comes with a dizzying array of bureaucratic hurdles, slow if deliberate approval processes, and unknowable costs in time and money. The team wisely sought out opportunities to work with a private property owner, with whom they could develop a project that created both public benefits and private ones, an arrangement more easily duplicated in the future.
Sure enough, opportunity presented itself. In Broadmoor, on the corner of Broad and Washington, something of a renaissance has begun. The beautiful new Rose Keller Library recently opened. Green Coast Enterprises just broke ground on Broad More, a new development anchored by Propeller, the social entrepreneurship incubator, the South Broad Community Health Center and the Broadmoor Improvement Association. All told, the four renovated historic buildings will feature offices, co-working spaces, retail, restaurants, and health care. It's all part of a longstanding, concerted effort to revitalize this once vibrant corner, and it represents the the fruit of years and years of labor on the part of the Broadmoor neighborhood, its leaders, and countless others. The volunteers had found a truly inspiring site.
Despite this flurry of redevelopment, the public realm sorely lacks comfort for people on the street. A tangle of bus routes connect and terminate on the corner, but there is no shade, seating, or shelter. The GOOD Ideas for New Orleans team saw the opportunity to create an easy-to-build, low-cost, modular "StreetHub" that can meet these acute needs quickly, but then continue to adapt and evolve as investments in the area–whether or public or private–come online. One element provides basic seating. Another provides a straightforward planter. A third provides shade and shelter. Together they are a practical and attractive piece of public interest infrastructure. The volunteers didn't stop there though.
Despite the new library being only blocks away, many of the thousands of people making bus transfers on the corner don't know that. The team designed a "little library" to both provide reading material to bus-riders, but also to promote and advertise the real thing down the street. The team also designed an high-ceiling shelter to serve as a vendor stand—creating a revenue stream for the private property owner, as well as a low-rent space for street vendors, aspiring entrepreneurs, and maybe even the social entrepreneurs of Propeller. The team has also tentatively negotiated space for a mural on the renovated building next door.
Perhaps most importantly though, the team is designing an easy to use how-to-guide for building a StreetHub on the neglected corner in your neighborhood. The design of the structure, the materials, their sources, and their costs are all being documented in detail. The team will explain their community outreach efforts, coalition building, and negotiations. They will provide advice on siting, seeking donations, and working with city permitting. When the first StreetHub is built this fall, they will include beautiful photographs that demonstrate the construction process, use and maintenance of the structure.

What are the origins of nationalism and why is it capable of arousing such intense emotions? In this major study, Azar Gat counters the prevailing fashionable theories according to which nations and nationalism are modern and contrived or 'invented'. He sweeps across history and around the globe to reveal that ethnicity has always been highly political and that nations and national states have existed since the beginning of statehood millennia ago. He traces the deep roots of ethnicity and nationalism in human nature, showing how culture fits into human evolution from as early as our aboriginal condition and, in conjunction with kinship, defines ethnicity and ethnic allegiances. From the rise of states and empires to the present day, this book sheds new light on the explosive nature of ethnicity and nationalism, as well as on their more liberating and altruistic roles in forging identity and solidarity.

Think first before using a weapon
It is an issue fraught with the potential for flashbacks and tragedies. Citizens legally carrying guns and sometimes using those guns to assist police officers, engage in double-edged sword conduct that does not always conclude on a positive note.
As occurred a few days ago in Wilkes-Barre, an armed citizen can chase down and hold an alleged drug dealer, or convenience store robber, or a burglar ⦠anyone seeking to elude police after commission of a crime. Generally, this action would be viewed as a positive, the removal of an alleged criminal off the streets.
The flip side is the danger element. The perpetrator also may be armed, and gunplay could ensue. The perpetrator, the citizen and bystanders now are at risk. Even if unarmed, the perpetrator could resist, and the citizen's use of the firearm then opens the door to questions of reasonable use of the weapon. While not exactly the scenario in the Florida case that drew national attention, use of a gun by a citizen can lead to bad outcomes.
The citizen holding a gun also places himself or herself at risk as police arrive. This adds to the police officers' stress: Is that person a good guy or a bad guy?
Related to the join-the-chase question is the use of a weapon by a citizen who arms himself or herself for self-protection. The "stand your ground" issue is being debated in the wake of the Florida case wherein an armed crime watch member shot and killed a youth.
People have a right to defend themselves and their property. However, inserting one's self into a police chase is another matter. Police are professionals and trained to handle all types of incidents. For example, police know when to back off in high-speed chases and police know that a perpetrator on the run in incidents such as occurred in Wilkes-Barre generally are identified quickly and eventually nabbed.
Citizens who are legally carrying firearms should do their own self-examination as to just what dangers this right entails. Is drawing that weapon and joining in a police chase really necessary, or does it magnify the danger to those involved and the community in general?

GE Supplying Power To Mexican Cogeneration Plant
GE's LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine technology has been selected for the ALPEK Cogeneration project at its subsidiary Petrotemex's site in Cosoleacaque, Veracruz, Mexico. GE's aeroderivative gas turbine business recently signed a multimillion-dollar contract to supply two LM6000-PF gas turbine-generator packages to a joint venture including Schrader Camargo of Mexico and Sener of Spain, who are the engineering, procurement and construction contractors for the project.
Supporting the Mexican government's initiative to encourage more efficient power generation, the cogeneration plant will produce more than 85 MW of electricity and all the site's steam requirements, GE said.
Powered by the two GE LM6000-PF units, the ALPEK Cogeneration plant will operate at 85% thermal efficiency. The gas-fired facility will begin commercial service in the first quarter of 2014.
The LM6000-PF offers high efficiency, 10-minute start times and reliability, GE said. The units for ALPEK will feature DLE technology, which does not use water and ensures low emissions, the company said.

LEXINGTON, Va., March 24, 2011 – The coming of the 21st century has shifted the focus in world trade from an American view to a global one, said VMI alumnus Robert Troxler '63. He added that it is essential that the leaders of tomorrow learn how to meet the challenges of this shift in focus as well as how to benefit from the new global view.Troxler moderated a panel discussion on economics and trade at the "East Meets West" conference at the Virginia Military Institute's Center for Leadership and Ethics. A founding partner of an investment advisory firm based in Geneva, Troxler has lived throughout the world and has managed investments for clients large and small in Europe and the Middle East in his former role with Citibank/Citigroup. Troxler said the United States cannot ignore the issues of oil and gas dependency, and reliable supplies, he feels, are more precarious than many think. He added that the threat posed by Iran in conjunction with the oil and gas issue and how the United States handles the regime change in Egypt are other issues that need attention. On a more positive note, he said there is $1.3 trillion in sovereign wealth in the Middle East that can be used to invest in jobs and improving education, which are great needs in many countries in the region."For me, the key is to help these countries help themselves," he said. "We need to work with and through the leaders in each country and to respect the integrity of the countries involved. We cannot come in and offer our solutions."Panelist John Sullivan, executive director of the Center for International Private Enterprise, affirmed Troxler's suggestion that the United States must provide guidance, not solutions to the economic challenges in the region. His organization works to strengthen democracy around the globe through private enterprise and market-oriented reform. The neoclassical method of economics applies in developed countries, but that model doesn't always hold true in nondemocratic countries, he said."The man who set himself on fire in Tunis symbolizes desperation," he said. "Between 30 and 50 percent of people in the Tunisian economy are locked in an informal system. There are no property rights and there is no protection nor legal standing for entrepreneurs."Sullivan added that until the business atmosphere improves and systems are put in place, it will be difficult to attract foreign investment."One of the first things we try to do is to introduce corporate governance," said Sullivan. "There aren't words for that term in Arabic, and if you can't say it, you can't do it. 'Business innovators' is a term we're trying to develop, as well."
Panelist Mark Mowrey is deputy assistant U.S. trade representative for Eurasia and the Middle East at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. During his time at USTR, he has been active in formulating trade policy positions affecting the Europe, Eurasian, and Middle East regions and has led or participated in negotiations and consultations involving countries such as Morocco, Bahrain, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates.
His organization was making strides in the 1990s but hit a plateau at the end of the decade and has been hindered by the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2011. "We need to find a new way to work in the region," said Mowrey. "If you can get people invested in their future, you can get them away from extremist ideals."His organization doesn't take the 'white knight' approach but provides advice when sought and serves as a partner, not a helper. He added that the change in regime in Egypt and unrest in other countries in the region makes his job challenging. As leaders change, the USTR must begin its role anew and each country must be dealt with individually.

Microsoft is expected to unveil its Avatar Kinect service within the next few weeks.
Microsoft research and strategy chief Craig Mundie held a health-care demonstration for Kinect last week. Mundie showed off a concept example of a support group for individuals with diabetes, meeting using Microsoft's video conferencing technology. Mundie also revealed that Avatar Kinect, Microsoft's video-conferencing feature of the Xbox 360, is due to launch within a few weeks.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer originally introduced Avatar Kinect using his own Xbox LIVE avatar at CES earlier this year. Avatar Kinect is a unique way for Kinect users to interact with each other. Kinect supports facial tracking and even facial expressions that will allow users to talk to each other with their avatars. Microsoft is calling Avatar Kinect a "social experience" that will bring your avatar to life.
Microsoft launched Kinect Fun Labs earlier this month. The new service is a permanent addition to the Kinect hub. Fun labs allows Kinect owners to download gadgets to play around with Kinect. Microsoft has released several free gadgets and is expected to make Avatar Kinect available as a free gadget in July. The software giant is providing over 15 different stages for users to pick from and use Avatar Kinect. The stages range from kids themed stages to performance and broadcast stages. Avatar Kinect tracks users mouths and eyebrows to animate their avatars live on the screen. Avatar Kinect will allow users to join sessions and chat with each other to create shows that can later be uploaded and shared with others.

Wow, excellent piece! I love it. This definitely goes into my "favourite maps"-folder. Have some rep.!
Wonderful execution, already one of my favourites.
I think the most aazing thing is the way that ink seems to blend with the paper!
Congratulations! =)
Given the choice:
wheter to rule a corrupt and failing empire
or to challenge the Fates for another throw, a better throw against one's destiny...
what was a King to do?
But does anyone truly have a choice?
One can only match, move by move, the machinations of Fate.
And thus defy the tyrannous stars.
Wow, excellent piece! I love it. This definitely goes into my "favourite maps"-folder. Have some rep.!
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
Wow. Quite a map.
Hey- the map and the comic that it appears in are NOW ON SALE- 28 color pages for $5- this includes shipping!!

In the clutches of an army of would-be assassins the tyrant lord necromancer Amon Kadesh must survive the terrors of an assault on his fortress, while his cat familiar Grizelda seeks only the solitude of peace and comfort. At any cost.
Elsewhere, and in the far reaches of space, Commander Veer leads an Exterminus unit to locate and exterminate Scourge Species X2987, AKA The Great Vermin!
This epic premier volume includes the dark fantasy "Through the Eyes of Grizelda" and the sci-fi thriller "The Great Vermin" from Jason Lenox (Grey Haven, Viper) and David Paul (Heavy Metal, InvestComics, Heske Horror, JOSEPH!) It features highly detailed coloring and pin-up art by Dani Kaulakis, additional pin-ups by Damon Haigh and Jason Lenox, and an incredibly realistic map by cartographer Joseph Freistuhler.
Beautiful map, I love it! The way you draw mountain ranges is awesome, the combination of styles - the "long ranges" and individual mountains - is great. The first map I posted on the Guild was inspired to some extent by your work. Thank you!
Very Tolkien-esque to my eye. Really great 3/4 perspective. The mountains are my favorite part. I just wish the scale was smaller. At your present scale most of your mountain ranges are 10 to 15 miles (or is it kilometers?) or less. This makes them more like ranges and not a whole mountain system like the Rockies or even Appalachians of America...nor as expansive as the Andes of western South America. Other than that...I really like the style.
Nice stuff here. I like the subtle soft muted colors you used on this map. The labels on mountains are quite hard to read though but it's still a good map

Microscopic U.S. flag comes from experiment in nanotechnology
Imagine singing "Oh, say, can you see" to a flag you can't see. That's what graduate students at the University of Texas at Dallas had in mind when they created the likeness of an American flag so small it would take more than 10 to span the width of a human hair.

text: 8. "Somebody I Used To Know" And Blaine/Cooper interaction. Everyone was thrilled to hear Matt Bomer was cast to play Blaine's big brother. Their relationship wasn't picture perfect like people would have assumed. All of the awkwardness came to a head when they performed "Somebody I Used To Know". Normally we would look at that song as a love song, but Glee went a whole new direction with it and made it reflect a familial relationship which was really amazing.

Will the Ocean Quest EZ Spring Dive Fin straps work woth the Aqualung Hotshot fins (post configuration)?
I am very short, just under 5 feet and I use the sling shot fins. I have tried many other fins and I feel these give me the best control... but they tire my legs out and I wonder if they are really too long for someone my size. So now I see these hotshot travel fins which are 4" shorter but Im worried my boots wont fit into them. I live in New England and waters cold-I use Henderson H2 7mm No Zip Boot SKU: HNDBH27 Would you be able to tell me if these boots will fit into the hotshot fins? What are the size differences (between a small & regular?) Would sizing up be a good idea? Any info would be great, thanks,
These fins will be smaller and easier to kick, but designed to be worn without boots. The Oceanic Vortex V-8 might be a better choice. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-20/014489/Oceanic-Vortex-V-8-Adjustable-Strap-Dive-Fins.html
I have these fins but they dig holes in the back of my ankles. What are the best socks to avoid abrasion but not cramp the foot pocket? Turns out Duct tape wraps are not a fashion statement.
Hello MJM, when wearing adjustable strap fins. You should wear some type of boot: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear/Boots.html. If you would like to place3 an order or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
regarding the Hotshot fins: 1. can they really be used comfortably without a boot/sock? 2. where can I find a size chart?
I bought the Hot Shot fins and the recommended spring replacement straps, but cant figure out how to swap them out! It doesnt look like the original heal straps are designed to come off at all!
I have lost one of the blue snaps (or keeper) for the fin strap on my Aqualung Hot Shot fin.Still will hold but on removing the fin the strap occasionally slips off. Can I get a replacement for the snap?
Can an extra pair of straps with snaps be ordered or even special ordered at time of purchase?
We have now added the spare straps to the website we thank you for your feedback: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-113/012400/Aqua-Lung-Spare---Replacement-Hotshot-Fins-Strap.html The straps slide over the fin post so there is no plastic clips to replace.
I have a very small size feet of 21cm or eu35. Can I use this aqualung hotshot comfortably it it is too big? I am struggling to find a short fin for my small feet.
Hello Nancy, these fins start at a size 6-7 women. If you are looking for a fin that has a smaller foot size take a look at the: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-20/114478/Atomic-Adjustable-Strap-Blade-Fins.html these fins start at a size 4 women so this one should work for your foot size.
Because of a foot problem, I need to wear boots, but Im also looking for a shorter & lighter pair of fins for traveling. The description states that these are designed to be worn without boots...my question is, will they work with boots and should I simply order a size larger to accommodate them? Thanks.
This amazing fin has been engineered with the traveling diver in mind. It offers:
Unsurpassed comfort
Compactness for carry-on travel
Power for a fully-outfitted scuba diver
The foot pocket is designed to be worn with bare feet!
The top and sides of the foot pocket are soft against bare skin
Neoprene socks or thin-soled boots may be used for thermal protection
Unique, self-adjusting Comfo-strap is buckle free. This particular type of elastomer guarantees comfort
Mid-foot Flex Joint
The blade attaches to the sides of the foot pocket rather than at the front of the foot pocket.
Prevents hyper-extension of the toes and ankles
Maximizes the transfer of power from the leg to the fin
Compact and Light Weight
Fits in carry-on luggage! Ideal with new Departure bag from Deep See.
Measures only 20.9 in. / 53 cm overall length
Size regular weighs only 3.28 lbs / 1.5 kg
Due to the Mid-Foot Flex Joint, the entire length of blade flexes and provides forward thrust. With a traditional fin, the third of the blade in front of the foot pocket is considered dead space and provides no forward thrust. The result is that the HotShot provides the power of a fin that is 30% longer!
Geared with silicone slings (Power Bands). These pure silicone slings are loaded with energy during the power stroke, which they release prior to the upstroke
Twin-Speed Gear Shift
The silicone Power Bands form the HotShot gear system
The gear shift allows the diver to choose the best speed-to effort ratio
Divers can change gear settings while wearing the fins
The blade is made of a semi rigid customized technopolymer. The result is an excellent spring effect and flexibility to maximize thrust.
The rubberized ribs are made of two different elastomeric compounds to provide the greatest elasticity
Other features
Comes in three sizes: small, regular, large/x-large
Anti-slip rubber pads on the bottom of fin keep divers safe on boat decks
Grooves along inside bottom of foot pocket prevent foot from being vacuum-sealed in foot pocket making doffing easy
Power bands are protected on the bottom to prevent contact with the ground
Fin Care and Maintenance
Care Before and During the Dive
Avoid standing your fins on the tips of the blades for any extended period of time.
Avoid hot temperatures and hot surfaces as these can damage the fin.
Avoid placing the fins in a car trunk on hot days as the temperatures inside car trunks can exceed the temperature tolerances of the fin and the blades may distort.
Care After the Dive:
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and towel dry before final storage.
Store in a cool, dry and protected place out of direct sunlight.
Avoid any contact with alcohol, oil, gasoline, aerosols, or chemical solvents.
Do not expose any part to aerosol spray, as some aerosol propellants attack or degrade rubber and plastic materials.
Do not use any type of alcohol, solvent or petroleum based substances to clean or lubricate any part.
Do not store your equipment near any oil, gasoline, chemicals, or solvents.
Available for shipment to U.S. zip codes only

Movie crews will begin shooting a movie in eastern North Carolina in just a few weeks.
Crews have already started building sets for the movie in Southport. 'Safe Haven' is the film adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel. Local businessmen are excited about the news. Some residents said the filming is not a big deal, since they have had many movies filmed there in the past.
Locals should be aware that there will be some traffic changes due to construction and filming. Filming is expected to wrap up at the end of the summer.

End run
There is a worrisome and ominous message in Mindy Belz's quote of pastor Yousif Matty of the evangelical church in Kirkuk, Iraq, who observed that radical Islam does not need popular support to take over a country ("One man, one vote, one time," Jan. 31). Consider the work of radical liberals in the USA, from the erosion of the Constitution by activist judges to the attempt to remove God from the Pledge of Allegiance. Ayatollah Dean and his herds of lemmings are not what the nation and free world need, now or ever.
-Marc Michael
Bremerton, Wash.
I've been worried for months about what will happen to the Christians in Iraq if Shariah should be established there. Pastor Yousif Matty is so right. I hope our government leaders are reading WORLD.
-Bernice Krahn
Fairfield, Idaho
Joe cool
The interview with Joseph Epstein was super ("A lucky life," Jan. 31). What a fascinating, delightful person.
-Robert M. Foster
Roxboro, N.C.
I appreciated your interview with Mr. Epstein. Christians would do well to think as clearly as he does on the family. Last year he wrote: "Con yourself into thinking you make decisions because of your children and you'll end up one of those pathetic old guys whining about his children's ingratitude. Of the almost cripplingly excessive concern for the proper rearing of children in our own day, in all its fussiness and fear, my father's response, I'm almost certain, would have been: 'What're they, crazy?'"
-Carol Tharp
Winnetka, Ill.
The interview with Mr. Epstein revealed a uncommonly logical mind. Also, his comment that, although he was "literary," he had yet to read the Bible straight through, shows refreshing honesty.
-Doreen Button
Corbett, Ore.
Stay and go
I believe that President Bush is the willing Christian in God's plan of action. Our jobs are to hold him up in prayer so that he can continue to "stay the course" (Jan. 31).
-Sharon Laster
Mebane, N.C.
Thank you for Mr. Olasky's thoughtful piece, but as a conservative I cannot stay the course. To keep Democrats out of office, compromise has made sense, and I am resigned to the Republicans overspending our tax dollars to win in November. The proverbial straw, however, was Mr. Bush's signing of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act. Our freedom of speech has been critically injured and he should be removed. I will continue to support responsible GOP conservatives but am now considering joining the Constitution Party.
-Tad Mahan
Blue Bell, Pa.
Timed release
I am a Released Time teacher in a small town and greatly appreciated finding out about the Fellowship of Christian Released Time Ministries ("Time well spent," Jan. 31). Three teachers from two different churches teach 18 kids from all backgrounds in a third church where none of us are members. Many times the awesome presence of God is with us in the classroom.
-Andy Greiner
Dawson, Minn.
I read "Time well spent" with interest and approval. Here in Utah, students have had released time for religious instruction for years, sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this program, called Seminary, students in grades 9-12 can schedule up to three hours a day to attend classes in buildings adjacent to public schools. Let's see more religious instruction in every community.
-Bob Ligget
Salt Lake City, Utah
Ready to leave?
I appreciate WORLD's reporting on the sad saga of the Episcopal Church ("Dallas mavericks," Jan. 31). Rather than hem and haw over what to do, Bible-honoring Christians within groups having spiritually "blind" leadership should read the lesson of history and the words of Jesus' lips: "Leave them."
-Chuck Walton
Kanawha, Iowa
I'm glad Mr. Plowman pointed out the high cost of breaking away from the Episcopal denomination: the loss of property, assets, pensions, and health insurance. I hope that starting the conservative network will start to change the denomination from within. But these congregations might start studying Jesus' teaching that discipleship involves a willingness to give up all your own possessions. They may one day have to make much bigger sacrifices to stay faithful to the Word of God.
-Joni Halpin
Allen, Texas
Part of a plan
Bethany Hamilton is the most courageous 13-year-old girl I have ever heard of ("Making waves," Jan. 31). If a shark had bitten off my arm, there is no way that after a few weeks I would be surfing again. It's great she can say that this was God's plan for her life.
-Tiffany Bedard
Vergennes, Vt.
Shorter lives
Mr. Belz wrote of how a Google search for "homosexual life expectancy" will produce "thousands of entries" and that "no one seems to disagree" that "male homosexuals live significantly shorter lives than do other people" ("Dereliction of duty," Jan. 31). I did the search and found mostly homosexual porn sites and some sites disputing the evidence, so at least some disagree.
-William C. Walden
Southampton, Mass.
On Feb. 1, 2001, my only brother, who had been involved in the homosexual lifestyle, took his own life. I took Mr. Belz's suggestion and looked at websites dealing with homosexual life expectancy. I was shocked to see how many sites linked increased suicide rates of homosexuals with ridicule and pressure from homophobic heterosexuals. But the life insurance companies don't worry themselves about that-life insurance is not paid in suicide situations.
-Donna Hamstra
Kentwood, Mich.
I appreciated Mr. Veith's review of The Gospel of John, which is also available on video ("A view of the Word," Jan. 31). I also found it to be professionally well-made and spiritually inspiring.
-Edwin E. Beale
Washington C.H., Ohio
Looking up
In sending men to Mars ("God & man on Mars," Jan. 24), what exactly are we looking for? Maybe that's a stupid question coming from someone who still questions the benefits of putting someone on the moon. However, I love how Col. Williams said his experience in space only amplified his belief in the Creator. I never intend to be in outer space (I'm acrophobic), but I imagine floating between the Earth and other heavenly bodies would be awesome and humbling.
-April DeAndre
Otis Orchards, Wash.
I was astonished reading the plans for space exploration. I never imagined we would try to get a man on Mars in my lifetime. It is exciting and inspiring.
-Matthew Parkinson
Vergennes, Vt.

If you've ever woken up with a house full of kids and no clue how to entertain them -- and no free resource for finding out what there is to do -- then you understand why Sanford, Broadway, and Lee County, NC needed a central source for local information. And that's how the idea for SocialSanford was born.
Though the site started as a potential resource for parents, it has branched out to include information for all residents of the area. SocialSanford hopes to guide, inform, and encourage Sanford, NC and Lee County, NC community members to get out, get involved, and remember why this is a great place to live!
SocialSanford is currently under the guidance and direction of Kelly Quinones Miller. Anyone interested in joining the team should shoot her an email -- the site definitely works better when managed by a team!
Here's all you need to know (and more) about Kelly:
She attended Jonesboro Elementary, J. Glenn Edwards Elementary, East Lee Junior High, and Lee Senior High before leaving Sanford to earn a Bachelor's degree in English and Women's Studies from UNC-G and a Master's degree in Publishing and Writing from Emerson College in Boston.
Having missed the South and wanting to raise her children around family, Kelly moved back to Sanford in 2001. She worked for the EPA and Eli Research, both in Durham, before launching a freelance writing, editing, and design career in 2007.
After an enjoyable stint of working from home while surrounded by her children, some fish, and a coop full of chickens, she took the position of Public Information Officer at the City of Sanford in 2012. Since then, Sanford has won the Benjamin Moore Paint What Matters Contest and passed its first bond referendum for projects totaling $14.5 million.
Kelly is a casual environmentalist whose hobbies include reading, writing, volunteering, and laughing at cats on the Internet. She is the co-founder of the Practical Knowledge Seminar Series, media coordinator for the Girl Scouts of Lee County, a past president of the Central Carolina Jaycees, a member of Sanford BPW, and serves on several committees dedicated to improving life in Lee County.

In recent months she has performed at MTV's Europe Music Awards, France's NRJ Awards, she'll perform this Sunday on the GRAMMY Awards, and now it's been announced that she will perform at the Brit Awards, where she is nominated for Best International Female, later this month in London. The Brit Awards will be handed out at London's O2 Arena on February 20th, and many people will be paying close attention because Taylor's latest ex, Harry Styles, will also be performing that night with his band, One Direction.

These are some of the ingredients I use in my juicer. I love to make different juices in my juicer and do a little experimenting. My usual juice I make because it makes me feel so good after a hard workout, is my beet mixture. This mixture will usually have 1 beet, 1 carrot, 1 cucumber, 1 lemon or lime, and fresh ginger. The glass in this pic has those ingredients. Last night I tried something a little better and yummy it was delish! I made a juice with 1 beet, 1 cuke, several mini carrots, 1 celery stalk, 1 lemon, 1 kiwi and fresh ginger. I threw in just a pinch of sea salt for good measure and bam, there you go!!! A most refreshing juice for my health. It was so good. My DH even says he'd like to try it some time and he is so not an experimenter of veggies like that. The cool thing about using this juicer (Jack Lalane brand), is that I can throw the veggie in peeling, seeds and all. Any excess pulp goes into a receptical where I place a plastic veggie bag. I continue using the same bag till it is full and then I take the scraps to my friend with a veggie garden for her compost pile. It's a win/win situation. Cool eh!
I usually drink my juices after I've done a really hard workout because I truly believe they throw back into my body some of the nutrients I sweat out or absorb quickly. I also feel fantastic the next day. Lately, after a good Cardio Strike or boxing workout, I'll have one and sometimes even after Bikram Yoga. It's ice cold so it gives me a refreshing feeling. I actually started juicing a couple years ago when I was training for 2 marathons in one year. I would juice on Sat. after my long runs and I was recharged for the rest of the day. I think one could juice anytime though.
My wish someday is to invest in a Vitamix but for now, I'll use my Jack LaLane till it no longer functions.
Have you ever tried using a juicer and experimenting? If so, what kind of mixtures do you use?

My favorites are Beet carrot and ginger or cucumber kale apple and celery (occasionally with parsley mixed in) I have a champion juicer, it works great for beets and carrots but anything leafy or fibrous really messes it up! I have been looking at the Jack lalane ones, how well do they work with spinach, kale, celery and wheat grass? Does it get hot and overheat? I love fresh juice but have been getting super frustrated with my juicer lately!

I love my Vitamix too....I've been thinking of getting a juicer, but in the meantime, I drink a lot of green smoothies.

I am on day 12 of a 92 day juice feast. I have the same juicer and today I made carrot, cucumber, granny smith apple and flat leaf parsley. For my 2nd pint I made a citrus concoction using my electric citrus juicer: pink grapefruit, 2 minneolas, 1 blood orange. For my 2 quarts of green juice I used my Blendtec and a friends Vitamix which she lent to me to see if I'd like it. I love the vitamix and will get mine next month. I used green leaf lettuce, fennel, bok choy, yellow sweet pepper and gala apples. I added Vitamineralgreen to it.
Your juices sound wonderful!

Oklahoma football: OU's Landry Jones, Kenny Stills among Fox's top five players in Cotton Bowl
Charles Davis, who will be the game analyst on Fox's Cotton Bowl coverage, has released his top five players to watch for the 7 p.m. game. Friday. Davis will broadcast the game with play-by-play announcer Gus Johnson, on-field analyst Petros Papadakis and game reporter Julie Alexandria. Rules analyst Mike Pereira will be in the booth to offer his perspective on controversial calls.
Erin Andrews will host the 6:30 p.m. pregame show with analysts Joey Harrington and Eddie George. The show will include interviews with Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and former Clippers star Blake Griffin, a former OU standout.
Davis' top five list:
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel: "First freshman to ever win the Heisman Trophy and he's done things that no player has ever done in the SEC, breaking records that Cam Newton set when he won the Heisman Trophy at Auburn. Oklahoma is going to be chasing him all night."
OU quarterback Landry Jones: "He had some rough outing early but is playing his football as the season ends. He still has a chance to raise his stock in the NFL draft, and leading Oklahoma to a win Friday night will do that."
Texas A&M defensive end Demontre Moore: "He's a former outside linebacker they moved to defensive end and was a finalist for best defensive end in the country. He's a terrific player who can make a huge difference."
OU wide receiver Kenny Stills: "He started the season in the slot, moved out wide and he's all over the place. He's one that Texas A&M will have to corral to be successful."
Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel: "He's been a starter since he's been a true freshman and played beyond that capacity since then. Projected by many to go No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft."

Introduction to Manuscript Studies
by Raymond Clemens
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is probably the best one volume introduction out there to the study of medieval manuscripts and palaeography. Clemens and Graham offer a thorough and learned guide to the process of manuscript preparation, production and binding; to the reading, transcription, sourcing, editing and cataloguing of manuscripts and most important hands; and to some of the most common genres of medieval manuscripts, such as Bibles, liturgies, Books of Hours, charters and cartularies. It's beautifully and generously illustrated throughout with full-colour examples taken from the Newberry and Parker libraries, and while sometimes one could wish that some of the images were a little larger (even those which take up the full page!) in order to see some of the fine detail, this is still undeniably a wonderful resource.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0801487080, Paperback)
Providing a comprehensive and accessible orientation to the field of medieval manuscript studies, this lavishly illustrated book by Raymond Clemens and Timothy Graham is unique among handbooks on paleography, codicology, and manuscript illumination in its scope and level of detail. It will be of immeasurable help to students in history, art history, literature, and religious studies who are encountering medieval manuscripts for the first time, while also appealing to advanced scholars and general readers interested in the history of the book before the age of print.
Introduction to Manuscript Studies features three sections:
• Part 1, "Making the Medieval Manuscript," offers an in-depth examination of the process of manuscript production, from the preparation of the writing surface through the stages of copying the text, rubrication, decoration, glossing, and annotation to the binding and storage of the completed codex.
• Part 2, "Reading the Medieval Manuscript," focuses on the skills necessary for the successful study of manuscripts, with chapters on transcribing and editing; reading texts damaged by fire, water, insects, and other factors; assessing evidence for origin and provenance; and describing and cataloguing manuscripts. This part ends with a survey of sixteen medieval scripts dating from the eighth to the fifteenth century.
• Part 3, "Some Manuscript Genres," provides an analysis of several of the most frequently encountered types of medieval manuscripts, including Bibles and biblical concordances, liturgical service books, Books of Hours, charters and cartularies, maps, and rolls and scrolls. The book concludes with an extensive glossary, a guide to dictionaries of medieval Latin, and a bibliography subdivided and keyed to the subsections of the volume's chapters.
Every chapter in this magisterial guidebook features numerous color plates that exemplify each aspect described in the text and are drawn primarily from the collections of the Newberry Library in Chicago and the Parker Library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.

Cyrus Mistry to manage Tata Motors till Slym's replacement in place
Feb 07 2014 , New Delhi
Cyrus P Mistry will chair the CSC, which comprises all the current members of the company's Executive Committee -- Ravindra Pisharody, Satish B Borwankar, C Ramakrishnan, T. A. Leverton, Ranjit Yadav, Mamillapalle Venkatram,. Ankush Arora and Rajesh Bagga, the company said in a statement.
Mistry will also chair new product design and engineering review meetings.
Mistry has issued the following statement saying, "To ensure leadership continuity, the Board of Tata Motors has constituted a Corporate Steering Committee to oversee strategy execution and key aspects of operations; the Corporate Steering Committee will be chaired by me, and will include the current Executive Committee members. The Board expects to appoint a Managing Director in due course.
"As communicated to all Tata Motors employees by me on January 30, during the condolence meeting held in the memory of Karl, we will ensure that the company vigorously pursues and delivers on the strategy which had already been defined and which Karl was executing…. Several new product launches have taken place recently and a robust pipeline is being showcased at this year's Auto Expo. I am confident that Tata Motors will sustain its strong leadership in the Indian Automobile industry," Mistry said in the statement.
Karl Slym, managing director of Tata Motors died after falling from a hotel room in Bangkok on January 26, 2014.
Slym was leading Tata Motors at a time when the auto industry was grappling with a prolonged slowdown.He joined the auto major in 2012 as part of a major management overhaul and was responsible for charting the company's strategy to regain momentum in the Indian market. Slym was on a mission to get domestic operations back on track. The company was in the midst of restructuring its operations with a common vision for its two verticals — commercials vehicles and passenger cars, instead of its earlier norm of a separate vision for both.

Hi - I'm new to Zimbra, but have been eying it as a candidate to provide our small business with some great collaboration abilities. I'd like to leave our current mail server and mx record as is (because it is hosted and reliable), but I'd like to host a Zimbra server locally and pull mail from the 'primary' mail server into Zimbra for local distribution. I would plan for all employees to use Zimbra the vast majority of the time, but still have our 'primary' mail server in place in case the Zimbra server crashes or we lose Internet connectivity or other unforeseen issues.
I've searched the forums and Googled this, but have not found definitive information. The business I used to work for used Windows Small Business with Exchange and a pop3 connector to do essentially what I would like to do.
It appears that I could accomplish similar using fetchmail, but I am not a linux expert. Can anyone confirm that what I am trying to do is possible, and if it is, are there any good tutorials for this specifically or how to use fetchmail?
Thanks in advance,

St. Kitts
The Strip on Frigate Bay
Over the past few years, The Strip has become the undisputed number one hot-spot on the island. The Monkey Bar, with its open-air dance floor, brought the first wave of party lovers in the early '90s, and has since grown to include a fine restaurant, is located towards the eastern end of The Strip. Opening daily at 10:00 am, enjoy lunch at the restaurant, or come back for live steel music on Friday nights.
Although the Monkey Bar remains a top spot, its status as the prime dancing spot was challenged at the turn of the millennium by Inon's Bar at the opposite end of The Strip. Inon's Bar is most popular with a mixed younger crowd of students, locals and visitors.
As this area of Frigate Bay continued to develop and other establishments vied for the patrons of the Monkey Bar and Inon's, The Strip has become a true phenomenon. Today, there are plenty of places to choose from along The Strip, each with its own mix of music, dance, food, drink and beautiful people.
eDock, situated at the extreme eastern end, is the newest addition to The Strip, and is part of the Timothy Beach Resort. As the name suggests, it offers WiFi service and includes a pier at which small craft can dock, allowing their passengers to stop in for a quick meal, a few drinks and a spectacular view of the sunset. This facility provides an atmosphere that is somewhat contrasting to the more casual ambience that is characteristic of most of The Strip.
Just a few short steps from the Dock is one of the best known spots, Mr. X's Shiggidy Shack. Here, "limers" can enjoy a roaring bonfire, a live band, DJ music, karaoke or even a fire-eating show, depending on the night. Shiggidy Shack is also an excellent place to sample our great Kittitian cuisine in a true traditional island setting. It opens at 10:00 am.
As one continues west along The Strip, the lively Ziggy's Bar is impossible to miss. This spot is open for breakfast at 7:00 am and also serves lunch and dinner. There is DJ music evenings, Monday through Friday, and live music on Saturday and Sunday nights.
Other stops along The Strip include Sunsplash and the Rainbow Bar, both of which serve meals. The Rainbow Bar has "mike night" (karaoke) on Mondays, and a Thursday movie, in addition to nightly DJ music. And let us not forget Cathy's Ocean View, a great place to take in our island ambiance as its name implies.
Another popular spot on The Strip is Buddies Bar & Grill. Buddies offers DJ music on weekends and a live band on special occasions. It is located at the western end of the strip, diagonally across the road from Inon's Bar. It opens at 9:00 am.
As you'll see, South Frigate Bay is much more than a lovely beach for daytime sunbathing and other pleasures. After you watch that sun go down, stick around and watch as The Strip transforms into a vibrant and exciting hot-spot that keeps the heat on until the wee hours of the morning.
Our capital, Basseterre, is a delightful mix of small shops and manageable malls, including the Pelican Mall and the TDC Mall, carrying a wide assortment of Kittitian delights and merchandise. You can buy locally designed clothing, including popular batik prints, & wonderful art.

Via St. Kitts Tourism
Walk up and down the streets of this delightful town and see one of the best remaining examples of the colonial era in the Caribbean. The lack of modernization has kept much of Charlestown in its original state, and local efforts are underway to preserve the original buildings. There are numerous 18th and 19th century buildings that are Georgian in style and fit into a certain scale. Most of them in town were built with stone first floors and wooden structure upstairs. The first floor were shops and the merchants lived above them. Many of them have hip roofs.
Arts, Crafts & Clothing
Fiery Nevis' hot sauce, fragrant honey, and handcrafted red clay pottery items are among the most popular souvenirs to take home from Nevis. But there are plenty of small shops and boutiques offering a full line of tropical clothing, swimwear, and colorful men's shirts.
Working Together
Many local crafts are made by members of local cooperatives-groups of craft men that work together to continue the local traditions. One of these is the Nevis Pottery, located near Newcastle, where you can watch the potters create the handsome red-clay pots and other artifacts. Another is the Nevis Craft Cooperative, where the crafts people weave rugs, make whimsical wooden mobiles, and other wood and ceramics. Their "factory" and store is on the main road just north of Charlestown. Another shop is located in the Cotton Ginnery.
To Market, To Market
For Caribbean-raised produce, fresh spices and homemade hot sauces, visit the colourful City Market near the ferry dock in the center of Charlestown. Sample the wide variety of local produce, like christophene, breadfruit, plantain, tannia, avocados (called "pears" here), yams, and pumpkin, all available in season. The market is open daily except Sunday. The busiest days are Fridays and Saturdays.
