I want to know any inmate sentence to life and then recieve commuted sentence before that law was passed was there sentence viewed as a new sentence.
HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHEN THE LAW WAS PASSED IF YOU CAN'T ANSWER THAT OUESTION? What do the law states about commuted sentence if passed in 1995 you might not be looking at the right one The one BUDDY Ramar Issued and he signed for the life sentences to be cummuted into numbers.

Amended by Acts 1991, No. 138, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1992; Acts 1992, No. 1011, §1; Acts 1994, 3rd Ex. Sess., No. 110, §1; Acts 1994, 3rd Ex. Sess., No. 149, §1; Acts 1994, 3rd Ex.

The sentence is NOT considered a new sentence it is a reduction of time, thus a life sentence would be reduced to a certain number of years ONLY if the receive a commutation of sentence, which would be the new sentence. Whan a life sentence is comuted, it is reduced to a number of years and it is NOT a new sentence, since a prisoner can lose the commutation for bad behavior or attempted or actual escape under RS 15:571.8. And you were correct, Buddy ROMER passed the section B in 1991, Edwards signed section (b) into law in 1995.
Before the passage of the law, the commutation of sentence was still not a new sentence, just a reduction of the sentence, which again could be lost.

No doubt Vettel is a talent. He irritates me as does Alonso, but they're both great drivers.. I can admit that. However, Vettel has shown to be good to average when the Red Bull isn't the fastest car. Webber outperforming him the first half of this season. Alonso can be considered a great because he hasn't had the best car in the last few years yet he's been in contention for the title a couple of times because he can extract more than you'd expect out of an average car, often gaining podiums and wins where others wouldn't.
I'd welcome seeing Vettel at another team, because quite frankly I don't see him dominating in a Mclaren , Ferrari or Mercedes.

Sculptures made of Guns and Bullets
Creator Mary Engel states " Elephants have become endangered due to the "gold" of the elephant, its ivory tusks. The bullets which make this sculpture are beautiful but menacing, as they remind us of humans' destruction of exotic creatures".
Al Farrow present welded metal sculptures of religious structures, which are composed entirely of gun parts, bullets, artillery shells, and human bone. The works form striking commentaries on the militarism embedded in the histories of the three major religions. Farrow's Christian reliquaries (in a series ironically titled "The Trigger Finger of Santo Guerro") and exact-scale replicas of a Jewish synagogue and a Moslem mosque are based on historical models for which Farrow assembles appropriated gun parts symbolically related to the three religions

Bruce Jenner Is Not Letting Sex Change Rumors Bother Him
February 18, 2014 07:00 AM by Lisa Princ
Bruce Jenner has definitely been showing a more feminine side to his appearance these days, which has sparked an abundance of rumors that he will be getting a sex change. But despite the rumors and speculation, the Kardashian patriarch is not letting it bother him. Instead, Jenner feels better than ever!
Ever since Bruce Jenner split from the crazy Kardashian matriarch, Kris Jenner, he has been looking a lot more feminine. And of course, as soon as the tabloids got one look at Jenner, the rumors immediately began claiming that the former Olympian would be undergoing a sex change next. Bruce, however, has not confirmed nor denied the rumors, and those close to Jenner have been insisting that he is just "strange" and not gearing up for a sex change. But, what exactly does Jenner think of all the rumors floating around about him? He doesn't seem to be bothered in the least about what people are saying, according to Hollywood Life.
In fact, during his recent Valentine's Day lunch with Khloe Kardashian, Bruce was overheard telling his step-daughter: "All is great. I'm feeling tremendous." Of course he must be feeling great now that Kris Jenner is no longer controlling his life. And with all the negative press surrounding Bruce these days, Khloe made sure to let know how great he really is. "Khloe also told him how much he means to her. How he's such an important man, an inspiration in her life and how she supports his decision to leave the show," the insider went on to explain.
We're glad that Bruce is feeling great, even if we're confused by his looks at the moment.
Now it's your turn to sound off! What do you think of Bruce Jenner's changing looks? Should Bruce Jenner become a woman? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear from you. Sound off in the comments!

The top Marine at Camp Johnson has been relieved of command, amid a sexual harassment investigation.
Col. Terri Erdag had been commanding officer of Marine Corps Combat Service Support Schools and Camp Johnson since last summer.
A spokesman for the Marine Corps Combat Development Command says Brig. General Niel Nelson, commanding general of Training Command, relieved her of command Friday "due to loss of confidence in her leadership and ability to maintain a positive command climate."
Col. Sean Gibson says an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment of a senior male officer is continuing. He says the sexual harassment issue is part of the reason, but not the entire reason behind the change in command.
Her bio says Col Erdag started out as an aviation mechanic and became an Marine officer in 1987.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney is working on his memoirs, and people say that when the book comes out, President Bush is not going to be happy. Not because the book is critical of Bush but because it's one of those books that's all words.
Former President Bill Clinton was recently asked about his wife Hillary's 11-day trip to Africa and he said, "I wish she were home." Then he said, "By which I mean I wish her home was Africa."
There are two American male hikers and one female hiker imprisoned in Iran, and some people are saying Bill Clinton should go rescue them. When asked about the idea, Clinton said, "I'm 1/3 on it."
In Idaho, police confiscated $20 million dollars worth of marijuana being grown near a Girl Scout camp. Police became suspicious after the Girl Scouts sold $20 million worth of Girl Scout Cookies.
In his upcoming memoir, Dick Cheney said that George Bush stopped taking his advice during the second term of their administration. In Bush's defense, I think it's pretty natural to lose trust in a guy who shoots his friends in the face.
And this happens with every administration. I mean, Obama only listened to Joe Biden for . . . never.
Cheney explained that the "statute of limitations" has expired on remaining silent about the Bush administration. Meanwhile, George Bush said, "I love the statue of limitations. Beautiful lady. Is the torch open?"
Just one day after GM's claim that its electric car, the Chevy Volt, would get 230 miles per gallon, Nissan announced that its new electric car, the Leaf, can achieve 367 miles per gallon. Meanwhile, Honda says it's working on a new car that actually creates gasoline.

My husband's not attracted to me now that I'm pregnant. What can I do?
I'm six months pregnant and my husband never wants to make love anymore. He says he's afraid it'll hurt the baby, but I think he's just not attracted to me right now. I've tried to reassure him that the baby is safe but that doesn't help, and I'm tired of begging for sex. What can I do? And will he want me again after our baby's born?

I had that same problem in the beginning and I do believe that part of it was that he truly was worried a little about the baby. However, by the thrid trimester, it finally came out that he was insecure. He was insecure about being a new father, insecure about where our relationship was headed, he was insecure about whether or not he'll be a good provider. Its natural for pregnant women to jump right into the idea of having children, afterall our bodies are made for it. But its often very hard for men to accept the fact that they will be fathers. Theres nothing like insecurities to kill a mans sex drive, not mention the fear of not being able to perform because they're already so stressed. Now that we're in the third trimester and we've talked about it...he can't keep his hands off me! Be supportive and try to talk it out. It took 7 mo. for us to talk it out and that entire time I was scared and lonely because he didn't tell me how he was feeling.posted 02/12/2008 by Nate'sGirl
I am so sick of hearing all the counseling to women about how they need to have sex with their husbands! I am 38 weeks pregnant and 7 years younger than my husband. Although I have always wanted sex more often than he, now it is even worse. Stretch marks, gained wieght, and feeling uncomfortable have made me feel fat and ugly. He doesnt smack my butt or check me out anymore and it makes it hard to feel like a woman. I am so glad to hear from other woman in the same boat. he does like my bigger boobs though! Men aren't the only ones who need more sex!! Hang in there and look forward to getting back in the sack when we get back in shape!!posted 02/05/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I am six months pregnant and feel much like the rest of you do. My husband does not make sexual advances like he used to. It does hurt my feelings a lot. I don't know why he does not have an interest in sex anymore. He has never said because it may hurt the baby. I asked him if he thought pregnancy is a turn on and he said he would disagree on that one. I guess that is a contributing factor as to why pregnant women don't feel as pretty or attractive during this tough time.posted 02/25/2007 by Mommy of 2!
To the men who added comments, Robert and Michael. Thank you for trying to explain things so we understand the other side of this delima. My husband and I have always done things together and now he is like "every other guy" who wants to spend time with just the guys and I can't do most of the things we used to do together, "snowmobile, ski, etc. Now I feel like the tubby, sweet woman that stays at home with the kids while he still enjoys partying drinking etc. I don't want to become the grocery getter who raises his kids while he continues to do all the things I used to be included in, checking out the young hotties while he's at it. I used to be his young hottie.. I'm sad. ;-(posted 10/05/2006 by lilchevy
Me and my man have been together a little over 2 years and this is our first together. i am almost 8 months now and i have noticed a huge decrease in the amount of sex we have. i feel so unattractive and unloved. it is making me depressed. i havent talked to him about it because i dont like to talk about it. it just doesnt seem the same, it might be because of the huge belly or that it doesnt fill the same, or because u can fill the baby kick and it kinda throws the mood off. we also cant do many positions and i dont do very much work. i just fill so unloved and down in the dumps...posted 02/15/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I understand I am right there with all you ladies. My boyfriend does not want to have sex ever. I am six months pregnant and he is never in the mood. I beg but that is making me feel like less of a woman I guess you could say. It really makes me feel unattractive and not wanted.posted 02/15/2007 by KatieNinnette
I'm in my eighth month and my husband feels weird about having sex with me too, because the baby is right there. I can understand in a way but it did really make me feel unattractive for a while! But now, I'm starting to believe that he's just scared. I just joke about it, like take his hands and rub them all over me and say "Oh please, we mustn't! Control yourself! Oh, don't touch me there!" He thinks it's funny and it's helping me stop taking the lack of sex so seriously. I'm sure everyone will get back in their normal routine after the baby comes.posted 10/20/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Why do you think that he would lie to you? It could be that he IS afraid of hurting the baby. You assuring him that the baby will be safe doesn't help because he might think you're just saying that to get sex (and you're not). Take him with you to your next doctor's appointment. Don't point any fingers at your husband, but just politely ask your doctor (with hubby there) if it's safe to have sex while you are pregnant. Ask him if sex will hurt the baby at all, etc... hearing it from a professional's mouth may ease his worries. It may also help to talk with other friends who have been pregnant, if they feel comfortable sharing their experiences with having sex during pregnancy. If he has friends who had sex during their pregnancies and everything turned out fine, I'm sure that will make him feel better as well. One last thing, do not beg for sex. It is a major turnoff... the more you pester and the more you beg, the less he'll want to do it. It's hard... but hang in there!posted 08/27/2007 by happilyforeverhert
My Wife is 27 weeks pregnant and we haven't had sex since she found out she was pregnant. I still love her and I'm not cheating on her or anything, but the whole idea of her being pregnant makes it really hard to be sexually attracted. I've never been the person who was o.k. knowing their parents were intimate so maybe that h.as something to do with it. I feel terrible and guilty. Us guys know you're pregnant and how hard it can be but it's difficult for us tooposted 12/16/2011 by mawolfe87
I am not sure if this will help but men go through alot too, some women don't want sex while pregnant and it's the same with some men, They really are scared it will hurt the baby or worried it will hurt you. . .all that to say encourage him to at least cuddle you, rent a movie and hang out on the couch(remind him that this could be your last time to watch a movie with the volume cranked up in a long time) but by the time those stitches heal and the baby finally sleeps through the night you will both feel like horny teenagers again. I know what it feels like when you feel unwanted or loved but take it slow and help him find other ways to show him he loves you! And just like that baby in your belly, start small!!posted 07/09/2008 by jenniqtip

This month sees the release of a map from the back pages of this month's Kobold Quarterly: The Watchfire Keep
This accompanies an adventure in the magazine "Who Watches the Watchfires" set in Open Design's world of Midgard, and written by myself.
My plan was to create a simple, well defended Keep that could be used for a castle assault, or for adventurers to hold against the dark forces. The double gate on the entrance, crenellated walls and single wall over the steep cliff offer a selection of approaches and challenges to an invading force. As well as it's appearance in Kobold Quarterly, the Keep has spawned two products:
Watchfire Keep Map Pack
The map pack of the keep (available here on RPGNow and on Paizo) contains versions that allow you to use this in any type of game:
- Multipage pdf for printing at home for tabletop use, in both international A4 and US letter format, in colour and printer friendly greyscale
- High resolution jpgs with and without grid for use in VTTs or for poster printing
- Maptool campaign file with vision and light implemented for quick use in OGL, Pathfinder or 4E games.
This could be a watchfire that provides a critical warning for an unsuspecting city or the starting keep for your players when they get their first castle. At $2.99 it'll be the cheapest first home purchase they'll ever consider.
Fold-n-Go Castle Kit #1
Inspired by the Watchfire Keep, I teemed up with Brian Bartlow of Lone Tree Games and I challenged him to create a glueless modular castle kit that would be able to recreate the Watchfire Keep in glorious 3D. I'd say he succeeded!
The kit is a pdf pack of textured parts that can be cut out and folded together to create modular sections of a castle. With walls, towers, staircases, gate, houses and a working portcullis you have everything you could possibly want for your inaugural fort. You can even build published keeps for your players to explore!
The kit is available on RPGNow and Paizo.
You can read more about this on my blog.

Tribeca Film has acquired the rights for Marion Vernoux's Bright Days Ahead which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last week. As far as we can tell, this is the first female directed film to get a deal out of the festival.Read More »
As I get ready to make my departure from Toronto after a whirlwind week there are a couple of things to mention as the festival winds down. I was told that there are 10% less women directors this year.Read More »
Marion Vernoux was born in Montreuil-sous-Bois, France. She wrote the screenplay for Bernard Schmitt's Pacific Palisades (90).

This is my third Toronto Film Festival and I am starting to understand how to manage it. It is an endurance test. You need to go whole hog one day and then back off a little the next in order to make it a whole week. Also it takes a while to put into words what you are seeing.Read More »

Hi guys.
In the photos below of KC-135R Stratotankers you can see that their CFM-56 engines have what appears to be some sort of exhaust port in the cowling, near the intake along the bottom side area.
What are these exhaust ports used for? Do they have something to do with the ductwork for the intake heating pipes?
Also, are CFM-56 engines simply the military version of the same engines used on some civilian airliners? They look a lot like Pratt & Whitney 4000 turbofans.
If they are the same engines (both military & civilian), why do only the military versions have these exhaust ports in their cowlings? I've never seen these holes in the side of airliner's engines.

With the werewolves out of the way, back to our regularly scheduled programming. A few weeks ago, The Hollywood Reporter ran a piece called "Shallow pool for Oscar's actress contenders." The basic premise: While the list of female directorial hopefuls is stronger than ever for the 2010 Academy race, the actress nods aren't so hot with Meryl Streep leading only a handful of other front-runners (Carey Mulligan and Gabourey Sidibe). The piece also noted the other potential Best Actress candidates, the possibility of notable performances in the remaining releases, the struggles women still face in Hollywood, and -- egads -- the fact that some are talking about Sandra Bullock getting a nod for The Blind Side.
Reading the article through, I quickly had a thought .... and it was most definitely not about that previously mentioned werewolf flick getting any award love. Usually a discussion like this might be disheartening or aggravating, but the thought wasn't negative. It was, in fact, quite positive.
Why don't we use this "shallow pool" as a reason to celebrate unconventional roles and performances?
Now I don't mean "unconventional" as in "weird," but rather, roles that we're not used to seeing on the awards roster. If we celebrate some roles that we might not usually see come Oscar time (or not see often), ones with great and engaging women, isn't there a possibility that increased exposure could help not only the films, but also these types of roles, and maybe, just maybe, lead to a larger collection of great roles for actresses to bite into? Acclaim -> Exposure -> Increased Demand?
Even if some of the roles aren't as good, there is no way that it would dilute the Best Actress race. We're talking about an awards ceremony that sometimes gets it right, but can also get it disastrously wrong. My best (as always) example: There is no way that Julia Roberts as Erin Brockovich shows more acting talent, or embodies a more perfect performance than Ellen Burstyn's Sara Goldfarb. If we can accept that blip, we can accept a little broadening of the actress expectations.
Let's face it -- there's a whole lot more to the world of female acting than heavy drama and "going ugly" for a gig -- it's one of the reasons I love the thought of Streep winning this year. Her performance is bang-on, and it's always a refreshing treat to see someone get an award for a stellar performance that doesn't evoke tears and heartache.
I wish that we could include the likes of Rachel Weisz and Agora in this discussion, but she won't hit American screens until 2010. Luckily, there is also her delightful turn as Penelope Stamp in The Brothers Bloom. At first, Stamp looked like one of those typical quirky and rich recluse characters -- one who crashes cars without a care and barely sees beyond her own nose. But bit by bit through the film, the role was flushed out into one of my all-time favorite female characterizations -- a woman full of intelligence, ability, and charm.
In the airline sector, George Clooney is getting a lot of talk for Up in the Air, but it would be wonderful to see either female co-star gain some of the cred. Vera Farmiga's Alex Goran was a breath of fresh air, even with a few flaws, and what about Anna Kendrick? Her name -- Natalie Keener -- might be a bit cliched, but the girl -- quite bluntly -- kicked arse. Here is an actress who sent from random supporting Twilight cast member who looked like nothing more than the bubbly teen actor to an actress who adeptly held her own against the likes of Clooney and Farmiga.
Maybe I'm wrong... But I can't help but wonder if this is at least a little part of the problem -- if we keep jovially chastising the crappy romcoms as okay fluff fare and throwing awards to the heavy drama, maybe that's all we'll ever really get the chance of seeing in most of Hollywood. But if we stretch those boundaries a little to the magic that can be found in so much easily tossed aside fare, I can't help but think we'd be one step closer to having Best Actress complaints only revolve around how to choose between all the stunning performances and varied female roles.
If you were going to choose some conventional and unconventional picks for 2010's Oscars, who would they be?
Added note: While her role was too small for this discussion, Zoe Kazan was all shades of delightful in Me and Orson Welles, so keep an eye out for her.

I've played with the settings a bit, setting the air pressure at the recommended level keeping the stock coil spring in, but it seems too soft. I weigh about 180lbs, and run 150lbs of air in the thing. I run it locked out right now because it seems to move way too much unless im on pretty rough stuff. Anyone have any experience tuning these things?

With Invisalign, does the invisible retainer fall out easily?
Does the Invisalign Retainer Fall out Easily?
Doctor Answers 2
Invisalign trays are quite tight
On the contrary sometimes they are very difficult to remove. If you are worried about them falling out while talking, they won't. You may, however, have a little difficulty adjusting to speaking with the trays in your mouth, but that is also true for braces.

Question on moon book value
Started by Darren Drake , Sep 04 2013 05:35 PM

Posted 04 September 2013 - 05:35 PM
I recently researched one of my moon books and found that it could be quite valuable. It is Mapping of the Moon Past and Present published in 1974 and is in nearly mint condition with foldouts and a post card. I was pretty shocked when I saw what the asking prices are on Amazon. Does anyone know WHY it has such a high asking price? Mine is in better condition than any of these. Woah!
Posted 04 September 2013 - 07:56 PM
Some algorithms say make price so much higher than the next highest price. If two requests are like these it can spiral to almost inifinity or what they set the max limit to be. However, just because price is high doesn't mean there is any demand at that level.

I'm not sure but I think there were other astro related topics in a series and this was no 50 in the series but that seems like a lot of other topics. Uncertain and I should look into it further....

Like a lot of bicycle enthusiasts who live in cold temps, I ride regularly in feezing temperatures.
Temperatures down to 20 F (-6 C) can be done without a great deal of grief. Below that and you will start to think about taking the car.
Below 10 F (-12 C), and you have to be extremely careful with your clothing. Any mistakes could cost you skin from frostbite - quick.
My personal opinion is that temperatures below about -10 F (-23 C) is pretty punishing and dangerous. Some guys do it, and I have also bicycled in temps below -10 F (-23 C), but I question the wisdom of it.
At cold temperatures, though, you need to cover your skin. For breathing, use a balaklava to cover your nose and mouth. You can damage your throat and lungs by gulping freezing air.
Last edited by mike; 12-29-01 at 09:50 AM.
For cold temperatures I would recommend layered clothing -not too bulky- Thermo gloves and warm boots with toe-clip pedals, a good knitted hat under your helmet and a long thick scarf to wrap around your neck and face several times. (Tuck the ends into your jacket. It will help protect your chest.) The thick scarf will heat the air before it reaches your lungs and prevent damage. (As an athmatic, this was of special benefit to me.)
I rode, dressed this way, through many Maine winters, regardless of temperature, with no illeffects. Good luck.
No, the cold air won't hurt your breathing as long as you don't go to too extreme temps. as the other posters have stated. Get out and ride! ...it was 20 degrees this morning & a great ride!Originally posted by capkos

Actually, Velo, breathing can hurt and it can do damage in really cold temperatures. At around 20 F like you mentioned, it won't be too bad, but at temperatures in the teens and below, it can be really bad.Originally posted by velo

If you don't pre-heat the air with a scarf or face-mask in temperatures below 0 F, you can really be hurting if you are gulping in freezing air when running, biking, cross-country skiiing, etcetera.
It happens to me once in a foolish while. When it happens, your lungs just scream with pain - a freezing cold pain from the very center of your body which is difficult to describe with words.
Tru... wear a balaclava... but if you AREN'T wearing a face covering at extremely cold temps, breathing cold air will be the least of your worries. You like you nose, don't you?

Thank you Mike and the rest of you but when the temp gets down to 0' F I'll be inside ob bike forums or some other worthwhile endeavor.

One thing I found with cold weather, that all you guys probably already know, is that it is harder to breathe in cold weather. Kind of like the people floating around in the cold water when the Titanic sank, they probably suffocated from the effects of the freezing cold before they drowned.
Hi, my name is Randy and a scarf does work well. I commute to work (approx 30 miles round trip) and when it gets to the single digits in temp and wind chill is below 0 degrees I have a neoprene face mask lined with a light fleece that I wear (also covers my nose). It is vented and I don't seem to get the icing problem around my mouth the way I did with a scarf. Also it is easier to dry out. Like the others have told you it can not be overstated about keeping your skin covered..frost bite sucks!
I have found that I am fine to around 10F (not including wind chill). Once you get much below that the lungs are definitely NOT happy with a giant gulp of cold air. I bought a PSolar mask last year. The mask does add a little resistance, but I could ride comfortably (but slower) at 2F (-26 with the wind chill).
So far this Winter season I've not seen temps below 15F so I have not yet needed the mask. Usually we'll get some weather coming straight from Northern Canada during January or February... I'll have my mask ready.
Happy riding,
You can go outside and continue to breathe just fine in any temperature. Oil riggers up here work in -40 to -50 temps. It's all about getting used to it. Spend time outside ... ride your bicycle, walk, play in the snow with the kids, acclimatize.
In through the nose, out through the mouth. I've felt like someone took a chisel to my lungs once when I went xc skiing in -25F as a teen because I winded myself and took off my facemask and was inhaling cold air something fierce. Since then, I try to concentrate on taking air in through the nose. Its a longer passage to the lungs so the air is warmed just a tad more than if it comes in the mouth. I also wear a balaclava, so the air around my mouth tends to be warmed a bit more than outside air. But like Machka says, breathing is not a problem in and of its self.
Definitely breathing through the nose is best. The nasal passages are used to warm the air to your lungs. It will save you on the shock. But acclimate yourself is the best. I've ridden in 34 deg F and 40 deg F so far only wearing a Target or Walmart wicking shirt, a short sleeve jersey and a nylon jacket. Light gloves and a doo rag does me fine too. Make a log of what your wear so you know what is best. Make sure that you aren't warm when you start out or you will sweat pretty bad and probably get cold. I'm working my way down to ride in colder weather.

I felt breathless (more than normal) up the hills in 27-31 degrees today. I don't know what's wrong with me. I Have had panic attacks in the past though, so maybe my whole system is delicate. I found it harder to breathe with a scarf around my neck. I'm so glad it rarely gets below 25 here, but it was picture perfect today and the roads were virtually empty today because everyone was scared about the ice.
Wow! Why am I surprised by the differences of opinion on this issue. I shouldn't be, because we see the same kind of conflicting posts on clothing, face protection, and feet/hand wear.
With that said, here is my take. I'm not sure if deep breathing of cold air is something that one must get accustomed to or if our individual bodies handle it differently and some people will never acclimate to it. I have never had a problem breathing in extreme cold. As a daily winter runner, frequent skier, and now daily cyclist, I have been gulping cold air for over 35 years. I have ran and skied in temps as cold as the -20*s. I have never had a breathing problem. Running requires very deep breathing; I did so through my nose and mouth simultaneously.
I have heard many people claim that the cold air hurts if they take deep breaths without some way of pre-warming the air. Certainly, their individual experiences are real to them. I cannot relate to that. I guess that some people are just not able to tolerate it.

It's important in a lot of cooler climates to drink enough in winter. The air can be quite dry so you get dehydrated quickly.
Most people will find 30F comfortable if they're walking briskly and are dressed reasonably. Hat, jacket, gloves, long pants and boots or insulated shoes. If you're trying to wear winter cycling gear, it might be too light, especially if you are always complaining of the cold. When I bike in cooler weather, I look to be slightly chilly when I start out, but not actively cold. I can always unzip my jacket or take off my hat if I'm too hot. If I'm cold when I start out, the moment I need to walk I'll be freezing... with no way to warm up. Ick.
Of the many masks I've tried, these motorcycle/ski masks work the best. They work great in all temperatures below 50F down to -5F (maybe colder). They are neoprene so they don't get hot. If you place them correctly, they don't steam up goggles or glasses. The half mask works the best. Easy to breathe even while climbing steep hills. and NO FRIGG'N runny nose!
The DO stink, so you'll have to wash them before wearing otherwise, the fumes really take you down. I've never seen 'em sold anywhere but here: http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/angryguy01 Saw one commuter with the yellow one. I own this one.

By wearing a balaclava over your face it will heat up your breath and in turn keep your face warm. Wearing inexpensive goggles completes the picture and blocks the cold air from freezing your eyeballs. I ride in single digits and I'm completely covered from head to toe. My goggles do fog up at times, but I'm still trying to solve that problem. Dishsoap seems to work the best, but it still fogs up at certain cold temps. Ebay has some nice thin balaclavas nicely priced.
Ok, that book linked above says:
I may have gulped in too much cold air, my chest feels a little funny (almost like i've been coughing a lot, but not as sharp a pain) and my throat feels the slightest bit sore when i swallow. I was breathing really heavily in 0F temps (-18C) friday night, helping a guy push his car off the street. I only had a thin fleece scarf over my face, so it wasn't doing much to warm the air. How long before this goes away? any suggestions to take care of it?Mouth breathing... may result in cold irritation to the mouth, pharynx, trachea, and even bronchi when the air temp is below -12C (10F).
I think its going to end up trial and error personal experience. I've gotten sick from running at 45F more than once. I've walked at -15F with no problem. Biking down to 8F hasn't been a problem but I deliberately try not to get breathing very hard on my one significant hill.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito championed the Internet's potential to revolutionize democracy and business Thursday in a discussion with the BBC's Razia Iqbal at the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge.
With social media still in its youth, Ito said media producers need to learn a new literacy, take risks and build an immunity to the abuses it faced in its early years.

California is making progress in its ongoing battle with auto thieves. According to recently released statistics from the California Highway Patrol (CHP), last year 156,796 vehicles were stolen in California, a 1.3 percent reduction from 2010. The rate of vehicle theft in California has dropped since 2006, a positive trend attributed to enforcement, education, and advancing theft deterrent technologies employed by the automotive industry.

text: Inquest into Castlewellan farm death 23 Jun 2014 A 10-year-old boy who died in a tragic accident on his family's farm should not legally have been in the digger when it crashed, a court has heard. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The Coroner's Court, sitting in Newry, heard evidence that the legal age for children to be in agricultural machinery is 13 but as Coroner Jim Kitson commented, "it regularly occurs in farms in this country.""Whilst it's a practice that should be discouraged the realities of life is that it is a common event," said Mr Kitson adding that he was satisfied Aaron John Macaulay had died as a result of head and neck injuries which he sustained when he was thrown from the cab of a digger which had hurtled down the side of a steep field at his family's farm on the Rathfriland Road, Ballyward, Castlewellan last July."It is and will remain a dreadful tragedy for the Macaulay family," said the Coroner and addressing Aaron's parents Maurice and Wendy who held hands and appeared emotional throughout the 90 minute hearing, expressed his "sincere condolences for what is, without a shadow of a doubt, a horrifically tragic set of events that lead to the death of young Aaron."The court heard that on 30 July last year, Mr Macaulay and his son Matthew had been spreading manure on a field which had a steep incline when tragedy struck.In his statement Mr Macaulay said he had initially been driving the Caterpillar shovel with Aaron also in the cab but then he swapped vehicles with Matthew so that he could spread manure at the steeper part of the field, believing his sons would be safer towards the bottom, less steep part of the field.They had been working for around two hours when the shovel came back to the field with more manure, the engine of the digger stalled, leaving the large vehicle with neither steering nor brakes.His statement recounted how he watched as the digger rolled back down the hill and came to a sudden stop when it collided with a large stone, the force throwing Aaron out through the back window."I ran down to the boys. Matthew was out of the shovel and was walking and talking but had a fresh cut to the right side of his head."Aaron was lying on his back on the bonnet at the back of the shovel, his feet were still in the cab. He was motionless and I just knew he was dead," said Mr Macaulay in his statement.He told Coroner Kitson that Aaron enjoyed helping around the farm, helping out from when he was about six, "out milking cows or whatever" and that he had had a previous accident when his arm had been injured but that he was "strong and healthy".He agreed that his son's death was a "great loss" and after Coroner Kitson said he appreciated that fact and also that "we are quickly approaching the first anniversary of his death", Mr Macaulay was visibly crying as he took his seat beside his wife and son. CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)Matthew Macaulay, himself an agricultural student, described in his statement how his little brother was sitting on the arm of the driver's seat as there was only one seat and no seatbelts in the shovel.He said the digger stalled without warning and that he tried to turn the wheel to use the gradient in the field as well as the brakes to stop it from rolling back but added that as both are controlled by hydraulics, with no engine power he could do neither."I no longer had control. Aaron and I were being thrown around the cab and I thought it would go through bushes and into another field," said Matthew's statement. Tragically, the digger hit the large stone and came to an abrupt halt, throwing Aaron out of the back.The court heard that almost immediately, Aaron's sister Helen was on the scene and started CPR in an effort to save her brother, helping the fast response paramedic Stuart Stevenson when he arrived at the scene less than 20 minutes from the first alert.Mr Stevenson described her efforts as "sterling" and in his statement, recounted how he tasked the PSNI helicopter to help out given the rural setting and the distance to the nearest hospital.He told Coroner Kitson that neither at the scene nor in the ambulance did Aaron have either a heartbeat or a pulse as he was "in cardiac and respiratory arrest unfortunately."Airlifted to Craigavon Area Hospital, where a full team of emergency paediatric doctors were waiting, Coroner Kitson read the statement of A&E consultant Dr John O'Hare who said that CPR and other efforts to revive Aaron continued "at all times" but that when "it was obvious the continuation of resuscitation was futile, a joint team decision was taken to cease and Aaron was declared dead at 16:00 on 30 July 2013".Assistant State Pathologist for NI Dr James Lyness told the court that his autopsy examination of the schoolboy's body revealed a fracture at the base of Aaron's skull where it meets the spinal cord and "would have rendered it susceptible to compression and caused almost total breathing paralysis."Revealing how there was also bleeding over Aaron's brain which was itself swollen, the pathologist opined "there can be little doubt that the combined effect of the head and neck injuries would have proved rapidly fatal" and agreed with the coroner that it was a "quite devastating injury".The last witness to give evidence was David Low from the Health and Safety Executive who examined both the scene and the shovel itself.He told the court that where the shovel initially stalled had gradient between 10 and 20 degrees but as it rolled down the hill, the gradient increased to 35 to 45 degrees, adding that he estimated the shovel had travelled around 110 metres before plunging two metres into a ditch and against the rock.Mr Low said there was no immediately apparent reason for the vehicle to have stopped so abruptly as the diesel tank was half full and the shovel itself, while old, had been "regularly and well maintained".He said however that a more detailed examination uncovered minor faults in the fuel pump and fuel lines but added that even with these minor faults, the engine had still been getting fuel.Mr Low agreed the HSE were aware of the common practice for kids under 13 to be in agricultural vehicles, particularly on family run farms but "we are trying to publicise what the law is in this country and to discourage children from riding in tractors"."Sadly it's regrettable that it is something that happens on family farms very regularly," said Mr Low.After Mr Kitson made a finding of Aaron's death being caused by head and neck injuries, his mother Wendy said simply, "Aaron's in heaven, that's the main thing".A statement from the HSE offered "deepest sympathies" to the Macaulay family and warned: "Their tragic loss underlines that farms can be dangerous places to work and live on, particularly for children."No one wants to see accidents like this happen and we would remind farmers that any child under the age of 13 is not permitted to be a passenger in agricultural work vehicles."In addition HSENI strongly advises that anyone aged 13 or over should only be carried as a passenger if there is proper sitting with seat belts or restraints fitted." © UTV Share Share Share

Quote of the Day: The Old College Try Edition
"It's nonsensical for the NRA to argue that even if we issue another assault weapon's ban, the 'bad guys' will still find a way to obtain and use a gun for their future crimes. If that's the argument against gun regulation, then we might as well go forward and legalize marijuana nationwide, and cocaine and heroin, too. Because as we've seen, there are not enough penalties the government can enforce to keep drug users from obtaining their illicit substance of choice. But as evidenced by our strict drug laws, in a fight to mute a rampant drug culture, it doesn't mean we don't try." – Brittney Bullock in The Sad Truth About NRA's Proposal: There's Just Not Enough Good Guys to Go Around (via HuffPo)59

You have heard it before: the internet is the wave of the future. You can use it for anything from staying in touch with friends to reading the news to running a business. You can also create your own website. Web design is an easy world to enter. Nowadays, programs like Open Office allow you to create a simple web page in a word processor environment, saving you the time and trouble of writing your own HTML from scratch.
Step 1
Launch Open Office, select "File" from the menu bar, choose "New," and create a new "HTML Document."
Step 2
Write the content of your document, and format it according to how you would like it to appear online, using the traditional word processing formatting options provided by Open Office.
Step 3
Select "File" from the menu bar and choose "Preview in Web Browser" at any time to check how your work will appear once it's online.
Step 4
Save your work regularly. If you are worried about making big changes that might be hard to reverse, use the "Save As" option to create a totally new file. If your changes do not work, you can backtrack and open an older version of your file.
Step 5
Tackle formatting needs that can't be solved in the regular "Web Layout" view by switching to the "HTML Source" view and editing your HTML. You can switch between these two views by selecting and deselecting the "HTML Source" button on the toolbar. When you switch to the HTML view for the first time, you will be prompted to save your work if you have not done so already.
Step 6
Upload any media files separately, and make sure your web page points to the online copy of the file rather than the copy on your hard drive. For instance, if your web page will have pictures on it, upload these pictures to your web server, and in the HTML view, replace the local file pathway (which usually begins with "file:///C:/") with the global URL (which begins with "http://").
Step 7
Save your work one last time when you are finished, and upload the web page to your web server.
- While you can use Open Office to create a web page without directly writing any HTML yourself, you will have a much higher degree of control over the result if you do know some HTML.
- When you are ready to upload your web page, give it a file name with no spaces. Use underscores in place of spaces. Underscores show up in URLs as underscores, but spaces show up as "%20."

Lending Club Now Offers Hedge Funds
Posted By Jim On 11/05/2012 @ 7:10 am In Investing | 9 Comments
One of the corners of personal finance that I don't often tread is the world of peer to peer investing. As a resident of Maryland, I can't invest in notes at places like Lending Club and Prosper unless I purchase them on the secondary market, through one of their marketplaces. That simply isn't all that appealing to me, it's like buying notes that someone has decided they no longer want (that may be drastic but it's the truth – someone wants out, do I want to offer up the lifeline?).
As a result, I haven't been following the evolution and maturation of peer to peer investing as I probably would've been had I been more closely involved. So when I met up with the folks at Lending Club during FINCON, I was surprised to learn that there are other options for investors who would like to be involved but can't due to residency.
Lending Club now offers (but doesn't advertise it for obvious reasons) a few options for accredited investors and qualified purchasers. If you heard about Peter Thomson's Thomvest investing in a fund at LendingClub [3], he was increasing his stake in one of the company's hedge funds.
Let's start by defining what an accredited investor and a qualified purchaser is – these definitions will be important later. An accredited investor is an individual that has a net worth of at least $1 million excluding primary residence or income of at least $200,000 in each of the last two years (or $300,000 with a spouse) plus a reasonable expectation of that income this year. A qualified purchaser is a much higher bar – an individual with $5 million in investments.
These are important because there are two types of hedges funds – 3(c)(1) and 3(c)(7). You only need to be an accredited investor for a 3(c)(1) hedge fund. You need to be a qualified purchaser in order to invest in a 3(c)(7) hedge fund.
Technically, the hedge funds are offered by LC-Advisors, a subsidiary to Lending Club Corporation. For the sake of brevity, I'll just say that Lending Club is offering these funds. They offer two types of hedge funds for folks who would like to invest in peer to peer notes but don't want the hassle of picking individual notes themselves:
I was given a breakdown from Blake Coler-Dark, an Investor Executive, and he was telling me how the funds were performing quite well. The Conservative fund's target was 5.5%-7.5% return after fees and they were in range. The more aggressive/broad based one was netting a little over 9% after fees, also within its target range of 8.5%-10.5%.
Want in? The minimum for either fund is a cool $500,000! Fortunately, the fees are quite reasonable, 0.6%-0.9% based on account size, and there's no lock-up.
I think the hedge funds is a brilliant strategy by Lending Club. Their business relies on pairing lenders and borrowers. By creating this fund and offering it as an investment option, they're getting liquidity they can use to fund loans on their platform. Investors get a return on their money, managed by the experts who know the platform best, and borrowers get to borrow money they need. This is a natural next step in peer to peer lending.

At Bertram's Hotel by Agatha Christie
Reader Reviews
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Sublime setting, great mystery: Miss Marple at her best!, March 23, 2003 Reviewer: Geert Daelemans from Leuven Belgium Raymond West's latest novel is doing very well indeed, so he and his painter wife Joan decide to treat Raymond's old Aunt Jane Marple to a holiday. Miss Marple takes this opportunity to visit in London and spend the week in that eminently traditional, eminently expensive bastion of Edwardian hostelry, Bertram's Hotel. On arriving she immediately recalls her visit of many years ago, when she was still a silly schoolgirl, madly in love with a very unsuitable young man. Most things in the hotel seem to be untouched by the greedy monster of modern time and that is the way Miss Marple likes to see it. But something did change: an undefined atmosphere suggests more than the eye can see. When the absent-minded clergyman Canon Pennyfather goes missing, Jane knows that she still can trust her dark premonitions. Agatha Christie was sixty-six when she wrote At Bertram's Hotel and by doing so proved that she still could recall the spirit of her earlier works. All the elements of a typical Christie mystery are present. The setting is this time an Edwardian hotel full of memories of that golden age (supposedly based on the Brown's Hotel in London). Christie looks back to the good old days with more than just melancholy. The main characters also seemed to have travelled trough time: old spinsters, colonels and clergymen, they all carry past glory as some kind of burden. When the plot really unfolds, try not to miss the hidden clues, because the conclusion is surprisingly 'fair'. If you succeed in ignoring the numerous red herrings, you must be able to solve at least part of the mystery. This is certainly one of the Miss Marple mysteries worth remembering.

This started out as a second attempt at my Evelakaia map, but that soon turned into trying to include the surrounding areas. I tried to get a basic sketch of the surrounding areas but finally decided just to do the whole continent. So behold, Jhadalaia, the continent that has only recently been added to the archives of the Imperial Zephyrn Cartographic Guild.
In the native tongue Jhadalaia translates to the Grand Old Land and the continent itself is only slightly larger than the North American Continent. Things look kinda small on this map because i had to reduce it's size in order to post it here.
For this map I would like to extend thanks to Ascension, Pasis, Terminal and Tear, all of whom wrote great tuts that help to create this map. I've pretty much done everything i need to do for this map but i want you guys to get a look and tell me what might be off before i declare it done. I know there are no rivers because at this scale they wouldn't be visible. I'm also working on a winter version of this map, to be posted later once i figure how much i need to do.
