Chris Rea, suspended Kingston fire chief, appeals dismissal of his lawsuit against city
KINGSTON, N.Y. — Suspended Kingston Fire Chief Chris Rea has appealed a court's dismissal of his lawsuit against the city.
Rea's attorney, Ronald Dunn, said on Friday that the appeal was filed on Dec. 13 with the state Supreme Court's Appellate Division. A state Supreme Court justice dismissed the suit last month, saying Rea did not take the legal action in time. The judge did not comment on the merits of the suit.
The suit seeks to have Rea put back on the city payroll and be cleared of disciplinary charges against him, including one that alleges he used a city computer to access sexually explicit material on the Internet.
"We remain very confident that we will ultimately get Chris Rea his back pay," Dunn said in an email. "The law is quite clear that a municipality may not unilaterally remove an employee without charges and a hearing. When Kingston removed Chris in February 2012, it provided neither.
"It took a court proceeding to force the City to charge Rea," Dunn added. "As soon as the charges were filed, Rea commenced a proceeding seeking to dismiss the charges and reinstate him, consistent with Civil Service Law. At no point did Rea delay."
Rea was suspended without pay on Feb. 9 and filed what's known as an Article 78 lawsuit on Aug. 30. The suit was dismissed on Nov. 21 by state Supreme Court Justice Henry F. Zwack, who said Rea did not act within four months of his suspension, as required by law in such cases.
Kingston Mayor Shayne Gallo, who suspended Rea less than a month after appointing him chief, has said the city will press ahead with the disciplinary charges.
In February, Gallo cited only "time in attendance" issues in explaining his suspension of Rea. Other allegations, including the one about sexually explicit materials on the Internet, weren't revealed until months later. The city at that time also alleged Rea put in for both city and state pay for hours he worked teaching a state firefighter training course.
Dunn, in a written response to the city's disciplinary charges, which date to 2006, wrote that, under state Civil Service Law, "no removal or disciplinary proceeding shall commence more than 18 months after the occurrence of the alleged incompetence or misconduct complained of and described in charges."
Gallo has said his administration believes some of the alleged wrongdoing, including the double-dipping, was a "continuing fraud" and that the charges were made and filed properly. Continued...
Rea was promoted from assistant fire chief to chief in late January after Chief Richard Salzmann announced his retirement.
Salzmann's retirement quickly was clouded by Gallo saying he was asking the Ulster County District Attorney's Office to investigate the longtime chief over "time in attendance" issues.
The DA's office since then has not announced any findings of criminal wrongdoing by either Salzmann or Rea.

Preview: Rangers at Islanders
Rick Nash is showing up when it counts. After scoring a pair of third-period goals in their last outing, Nash will look to guide the New York Rangers to their season-high fourth straight victory on Thursday when they visit the New York Islanders. Nash, who is riding a seven-game point streak, has scored all seven of his goals during the third period this season.
Nash's latest heroics enabled the Rangers to skate to a 4-2 triumph over Atlantic Division rival Philadelphia on Tuesday. While obviously not on par with Nash in terms of scoring ability, Radek Martinek found the net for the first time since Oct. 12, 2011 when he snapped a tie as the Islanders secured their second win a row with a 6-3 victory over red-hot Montreal on Tuesday. The Islanders are 2-2-1 on their season-high seven-game homestand.
TV: 7 p.m. ET, MSG, MSG-PLUS2
ABOUT THE RANGERS (11-8-2): With defenseman Marc Staal sidelined indefinitely after he was hit in the right eye by a puck, the Rangers claimed veteran blue-liner Roman Hamrlik off waivers on Wednesday. The 38-year-old Hamrlik, who is in the final season of a two-year deal which carries a $3.5 million salary cap hit, fell out of favor in Washington and was a healthy scratch in 16 of 20 games. Staal was injured early in the third period after Philadelphia defenseman Kimmo Timonen's slap shot was deflected into Staal's eye.
ABOUT THE ISLANDERS (10-11-2): John Tavares has no trouble getting excited when he faces the rival Rangers. The former top overall pick has scored in three straight games versus coach John Tortorella's club and has eight goals and 13 assists in 19 career meetings. Although they've won their last two home contests, the Islanders are still just 4-8-1 at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum this season. The Rangers, in fact, have made the building their home away from home, posting a 5-0-2 mark in the last seven encounters.
1. The Rangers breezed to a 4-1 home triumph over the Islanders on Feb. 7, but the latter overcame a two-goal deficit to post a 4-3 win in a shootout the following week.
2. Islanders RW Colin McDonald collected a goal and an assist versus Montreal on Tuesday. The Connecticut native also tallied in his last encounter with the Rangers.
3. Henrik Lundqvist has yielded just five goals en route to winning three straight games. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner is 25-11-5 with four shutouts and a 2.16 goals-against average versus the Islanders.
PREDICTION: Rangers 5, Islanders 1

<~~~~~~~~~ THIS GUY MAY NOT BE ATTENDING sc2013
I think everyone needs to sit back and relax. Think about it. The two weeks prior, is Coachella with all the camping and infistructure, (showers, food, shuttles, roads, etc.) all in place. It makes no sense to put this all in place just to take it down for Stagecoach. I find it hard to believe that they will sell out all the acreage at the ED1 price. As you see they are calling it RV resort.
I believe this is a presale, so to speak. They will come through with the other options down the road. The best one can do is sit back and wait as they still need 55 or 60 thousand people to fill the venue. Their isn't that many country music fans in that valley to sell out the event or enough motels for non campers.
Undecided!! Its either Kansas for some hunting and RR, or SC with all this crazyness.
(too short)
"Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride..." - Gary Allan
Half my group is in, but we are opting to stay in a near ye condo and forgo the camping experience.
Debating.... Hoping to find a house near the venue to rent out
Our group of 12 rented a house minutes after the camping news came out......... WE ARE IN!!!
SC 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 AND 2013! -- Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
Respectfully we are out for two main reasons...
1). Although I am an RV owner, none of my friends are. The new rules will not allow enough people to stay with me to make it cost effective and my friends cannot rent or borrow an RV to make the event possible. It's too bad because I spent all year talking more people I to going and we planned the biggest group so far with 4 rigs and over 30 people.
2) Our group loves the tailgating and party atmosphere that we have become accustomed to at stagecoach. Without that, it is not the same event and we are no longer interested in going. GV is making it clear that this event does not wish to support the very thing that made this event so fun for us, so we have made the decision to not go. Who wants to be at a place they are not welcome. If they do make the changes and let everyone camp, it will most likely be heavily patrolled and not an environment I wish to be in.
I respect their decision to change and they can do what they wish a a private venue, but if these rules existed our first year we may not have ever gone or returned. I wish there could have been a middle ground that could have been met, but this was too much of a change for us. If we hear good things about this year, we may be back for 2014.
See ya at the next tailgate party!
I got laid off when they closed that asbestos factory, and wouldn't you know it, the army cuts my disability pension because they said that the plate in my head wasn't big enough.
I am out!! All the changes are terrible but also, the lineup is really bad!! Probably the worst lineup in SC history.
read this article. Paul Tollett, head Goldenvoice, said this: the camping rules for 2013 will NOT be changed for this year.
Let's be serious, guys. Why do you go to Stagecoach? Is it really the camping? Look, I'm all about having a good time, but if we're going to dump the festival because we can't camp with our RVs, then why have the festival at all? No, I'm not happy about the new rules and I won't be camping, but I don't buy passes to spend the day hanging out in the campground (I've heard the stories of those who got so drunk they couldn't even make it into the venue). Look at Coachella. They don't allow RVs at all and they draw 85,000 people on each of 2 weekends. That's 170,000 passes sold. I'll admit, Coachella boasts a lineup of 145 bands, but that's like trying to hit every ride at Disneyland in one day. You're going to miss some. With the smaller lineup at SC, you will most likely be able to see all the bands you want to see.
The bottom line is, if you want to complain about something, complain about the lineup (I know some of you already have) or the fact that because SC goers "stake a claim" with their folding chairs, that it feels less like a festival than it could (how many chairs do you see at Coachella?). Complain that the VIP section is too large and the GA crowd has to sit so far back from the Mane Stage (VIP at Coachella is smaller, by the way) that they feel disconnected. Complain about the 4 stage setup at SC when Coachella has five. Complain about the food or beer prices being so high ($9 for a 12 ounce beer, really? I paid less in Singapore).
Guys, the party should be inside the venue. I'm not paying $855 + $239/person to camp in a dirt parking lot for 4 nights. I will, however, pay $239 for passes to a weekend full of great Country music. By the way, I'm camping off-site for $300 with full hook-ups. This sounds like a much better deal to me.
I'm definitely in.
I missed SC 2012 and am going through withdrawals. Looking forward to SC13
I have gone to SC EVERY year since it started and RV camped. I remember when it was $99 (GA) for a weekend of Great Country music and fun for family/friends. I own my RV so most of the new camping rules don't really effect (just the 6 per max). I will not be attending SC 2013 because of the inflated ticket/camping prices. My family/friends are heading to Country Thunder in 2013 They always have a Great Lineup, they don't require special permission to camp and they keep their prices reasonable. In this economy, I have the right to pick and choose who gets my hard earned money
I'm in...for Country Thunder.
I keep mentioning it, but the thing I don't get is that if the focus is 100% on the music and the camping is designed just for people to lay their heads down at night, then why do you have to pay $800 to be close enough to see the artists? I am definitely the kind of person Stagecoach does not want there. I'm there to party with the cowgirls AND listen to some fun music, but it's a totally different experience than going to a regular country concert. A lot of times when I'm going to a concert, I'll spend a few extra bucks to join the band's fan club so I can get the best seats possible. That's just not something that's really available at Stagecoach's prices which is why I focus more on the partying. Maybe if they wanted to set up some sort of loyalty system or Stagecoach fan club for those of us that attend year in and year out to get discounted VIP tickets, that would encourage people to pay more attention to the music. Just my two cents.
I want to rock and roll all night...and part of everyday
And by the way, despite the level of partying I take it to, which I'm guessing a lot of people have trouble keeping up with, I've still never caused a problem there or gotten out of hand. I think most people that get into trouble when they're drinking are also going to get into trouble when they're sober, just maybe not be quite as obnoxious. Maybe Stagecoach should start doing background checks and conducting psychological evaluations before selling each ticket?
I want to rock and roll all night...and part of everyday
Heres a little light reading for ya....
interesting how they state that "Stagecoach has been the site of several public safety issues" and they mention the woman getting raped, but never say it was by a security gaurd employed by GV. Oh well.... blame that on the party crowd too i guess.
I got laid off when they closed that asbestos factory, and wouldn't you know it, the army cuts my disability pension because they said that the plate in my head wasn't big enough.
I really and truly hope all of you, that have chosen to go to CT have a great and safe time. We have talked about doing both, but haven't yet.
One thing to remember. You might want to tune it down a little, so the promoters don't drop the bomb on that festival some day. The Pinal County Sheriff, Is just a hard ass, as Sheriff Joe of Maracopa County.
Please write back on this board and let us know how it was.

Hi, I am trying to organize a five day trip for myself, my Mom and her friend (two ladies in their early 60s with a bit of swing in their step). I would like to spend just a day in Marrakech, two days in Fez and a day in Chefchaouen. We fly in and out of Marrakech. Also we would like to rent a car. Is this doable?
Dear All,
I am looking for accomodation for 13 people in Rabat and Erfoud. (6 dbls and one single)
We are interested mostly in cheaper but clean Riads.
Please advise if you can recommend some riads?
(which have at least 7 rooms. )
Thank you
We will be going on tour in Morocco. One night we sleep in a tent camp. "Furthermore, via a dirt road to Merzouga dunes with beautiful landscape where you admire the sunset. Dinner and overnight in tents, under the big sky of the south center of the vast desert." Does anyone know what we can expect in these tents?
i was concerned that as a woman driving alone might be an issue but i am reconsidering
can someone give me advice about renting a car in Marrakesh and driving to Draa valley?
I do not want to rent a car how do i go by public transport from Marrakesh to El Kelaa Des M'Gouna?
What should we expect to pay for a 3 or 4 day basic tour (including a camel trek and an overnight stay in the desert) from Fez to Marrakesh for 2 people? Can you share any recommended tour companies or contacts?
My wife and I will be in Tarifa next week. We plan to take a ferry to Tangiers then make our way to Fez. What mode of travel would you recommend from Tangiers to Fez, train or bus? Any suggestion on economical accommodation in Fez.
J and C
Hey! we are a family of 7 age 17-55 travelling to Morocco October. we have 9 days, landing and departing from Casablanca and our limitation is that on the nights of day 3,4,5,6 we have to sleep in Marrakesh since one of us is attending a conference there (the rest are free to do one-day tours from day 4 and on)
we are looking for a cool and adventurous trip with nature, history an culture.
This is an offer we got from a travel guide -- i would love to hear recommendations and comments from people who have been to Morocco recently about this plan..
thank you!!! / Uri
the plan:
Day 1 Arrive in Casablanca airport drive straight to Rabat for brief visit of the Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohamed V and then on to Fez for dinner and overnight.
Day 2 A full day today to visit the oldest Imperial city in Morocco with the oldest university in the world. Our day begins in the old Medina with Fez El Bali - old Fez - the
Andalusian and the Karaouine quarter with its dyers and tanners and artisans working in the style of their forefathers.
As the day progresses we take in the Mellah - the Jewish quarter, with its old cemetery and the Royal Palace. A fascinating day finishing back in the hotel for overnight and the possibility to eat dinner out..
Day 3 Drive South to Marrakech via Beni Mellal. A scenic route taking us through some of the prettiest scenery of the Middle Atlas. Check in to our Marrakech hotel for dinner and overnight.
Day 4 Morning tour of Marrakech taking in the historical sites and then afternoon free maybe to visit the Souks and the fabulous Djemma El Fna Square with its' fortune tellers, dancers, snake charmers and water sellers. This square really is the heart of Marrakech. You will have time to wander around or just sit in one of the roof top cafes surrounding the square. Sit and enjoy this incredible picture postcard – a living theatre with the Atlas mountains as a backdrop before returning to our hotel for overnight. Or maybe take a Caleche (Horse drawn carriage) and visit the Majorelles Gardens made famous by Yves St. Laurent. Dinner can be taken outside.
Day 5 An early start today for Essaouuira, once known as Mogador. The "Purple Islands" off the coast were used by the Romans for the dying of their togas and we explore the old Medina little changed since its Portuguese occupants left; Back to Marrakech for overnight stay. Dinner again can be taken outside.
Day 6 Free day today or maybe a High Atlas adventure with jeeps and mules and some of the most spectacular scenery in Morocco with views over Mount Toubkal. Back to Marrakech and overnight with dinner outside.
Day 7 and 8 Leave for the South via Ouarzazate with its Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah made famous in many Hollywood films finally ending the day in Zagora and ultimately th Sahara Desert.

"Heat Pump Excellent Option for Apartment Living"
I've had my heat pump for just about a year now and am very satisfied with it. At first, I wasn't aware that the apartment unit I rent used a heat pump. When I initially found out I was unsure as to whether it would adequately heat the apartment. I have since found out that it has no problem heating my 580 square foot apartment, and it does it very inexpensively. I very much like the efficiency of the heat pump. I can't say that there's anything I really dislike about it�"as it has met all of my expectations. I have never had to repair either the pump itself or the thermostat interface. I would recommend this product to anyone in similar circumstances. It is ideal for a small apartment in climates that do not sustain long periods of intense cold. Reliability for me has been excellent and the cost reduction is fantastic.

I have had nothing but problems from my Goodman Heatpump AC. Multiple repeat problems

"Blame the contractor not the Brand"
Most of the poor reviews listed here have to do directly with poor install practices and poorly designed duct work. Consumers should use a well respected dealer that they trust and not just the cheapest guy out there who may or may not even be licensed. I have sold several major brands over the last 20 years and have seen these exact same issues with them all. Dirty sock and most of these other problems are directly related to the installation not the unit. Also, Goodman has redesigned there evap coils to cure the leak issues unlike several other name brands.

"Best Heat Pump Ever Bought"
After my last unit failed, I purchased a new heat pump about two months ago. The heat pump that I purchased at Home Depot's website was a Goodman GSZ130241. One favorable feature of this particular unit is that it carries an Energy Star qualification which means it meets all the highest and current energy standards. Apart from that, another feature I like is that this unit is chlorine-free which makes it environmentally friendly. This product is ideal for individuals are interested in superior comfort, quiet operation and environmental friendliness. Even more impressive is the lack of maintenance required to keep this product running. No repair or replacement has been necessary since its acquisition. Since then, I have recommended this exact product to a few friends who are in the market for a similar product. In conclusion, I can't imagine buying any other product that meets this unit's capabilities in terms of price and functionality.

"Goodman 16 Seer Heat Pump"
2-1/2 ton 16seer heat pump unit installed in December 2010 by myself and my neighbor. Quiet running unit compared to my old 2ton Carrier. The old Carrier often ran endless for days never really cooled home even when it was first installed in 1995. This unit easily achieves the set point tempature with 10 - 15 minutes even on the coldest days in late Dec10 and Jan11.

"New System 14 seer 2 ton"
Update***Week one works very well. Temps have been in 20's and have had no issues. I didn't realize how bad my old unit was until I got this one installed and can tell the difference in the heat coming out. Some reviews on here seem to be caused by improper install. If you go under any other brand on this "Furnace Compare" site, you will see that they all rate the same with same issues. I will update as time goes on, but as of right now I am very satisfied.

"Day 1 of NEW System"
Just got a 2 ton Seer 14 installed by professionals, replacing a 20 plus year old Carrier unit that was seer 9. I l,ive in Knoxville TN(thought that might help understand weather conditions). I read many reviews and was told by my install guy the same thing that most of the pros have stated. Each unit uses the same parts just different names. The system is very quiet, standing at window where unit is right underneath and can barely hear it. Inside unit is very quiet as well. It is suppose to get into 20s tonight, so we will see. Day one very satisfied!! Will update as time goes on.

"Is your unit failing...Read this"
Ok, so Ive been reading and reading till im blue in the face about all these compressor failures. I would bet money that INSTALLER did not install a hard start kit as per required by compressor manufacture and its in the user install guide for the unit. But you the home owner would never know this. The hard start kit is necessary for any system that has a TXV valve installed. Furthermore with out the hard start kit added (by the way it does not come with the unit ask goodman why I have no clue) the compressor will fail prematurely. Then you replace it and bam the next one goes out. Id guess that your probably be luck to get 2 years out of the compressor. The reversing vale I can not comment on as I have not ran into one yet that has a bad one. In addition, the unit only is pre-chraged for 15 FT of line set. And its not recommend to reuse existing line set on R410A system, NEW line set should be ran, and any good company should replace the disconnect box, and power whip (that feeds the unit power) Also, there is a metering piston that comes with each unit that unique for the cased coil. If this is not used again you will have equipment failure. In 10 years Ive only seen 1 heat pump unit fail. Only because the home owner chose to install it on an old coil, and did a botched job. Drier blocked, replaced drier unit runs fine. I think in allot of the cases it more the installer. Granted they did have a problem with the evaporators but I really feel the majority of these system failures are to be blamed on the installer. Not the equipment company. I guess you just have to weight what you've know vs. what you read. As in all these cases one will never know how or if the equipment was installed correctly. Any job blow can hook one of these up. Hooking it up and setting it up properly is the key. I would be very curious in all the failure cases that if no hard start kit was installed on the initial install, then personally you should legal and or some recourse on the company that installed it. I dont care who makes the brand scorll / txv system need a hard start kit on it or the compressor will fail. It caused the motor winding to wear out due to a pressure equalization problem, and without the hard start kit, the compressor basically burns it self out because it can not get the require start voltage which in turn is torque to properly start the compressor. Im not defending goodman, Im just stating facts that are lacking on here from the end user, in which they would have no clue about.

"Goodman Equipment"
I am an HVAC contractor in Texas. I have installed a Goodman system in my own home and a few others including my mother's home (all 16 SEER). My mother's electric bills have decreased by 40 to 50% in the summer and the heat pump runs very efficiently in the winter. My house has a 95% var. speed gas furnace heating my 2200 sq. ft. with the higest has bill yet of $115, no joke. Each of the systems that I've installed have been very quiet and efficient. Some say that Goodman is cheap. ? huh, there are several brands that cost less. In my opinion...Equipment failure is 90% installer related and 10% of the time you may have a bad eqq. They are man made you know. Many people think that HVAC is plain and simple; get a big one, connect it, and turn it on. People (including licensed contractors) do it all the time. They often know NOTHING about controls, heat transfer or airflow. All factory condensers come pre-charged and 99% of installers assume the charge is correct for the equipment. wrong. Each system must be run tested and verified technically during operation. Yea, I'm VERY happy with my Goodman system - Probably because I know it is installed correctly and the energy savings are significant.

TestFreaks Buying Guide
Before the existence of digital photo frames, what existed then was flipping photo frames where you have to flip the frame to change the photos. With today's technology no flipping is needed, it's just by the touch of a remote or a button, in other words, it's at the tips of your fingers. So, a digital photo frame basically is a picture frame that displays digital photos which you can change one by one or choose to play it like a slideshow. It is known to be the perfect way to playback your favorite pictures, songs, and videos.
Basic Features
Features included in frames tend to differ depending on the models. As of now the basic features include a USB2.0 interface for transferring images from computer or an additional option is along with the package of some frames, a software is provided that consumers need to install on their PC before making the transfer. Through a camera's memory card, the digital photo frame can directly display photos. This is due to the fact that most normal frames do not have an internal memory/built-in memory which is why there's always the option of an in-built memory frame. Most frames any kind of memory card. They vary from MMC, SD, xD, MS, CF I, CF II, MS Pro and MicoDrive. Furthermore, a feature that allows photos to be copied and paste in the frames through all these supported formats including the UBS connection. To play photos continuously is provided in the slideshow that has so far been featured in most frames. If the frame supports MP3 then the slideshow can be played with music otherwise it will do just fine playing by itself. A reminder, if playing the slideshow option, make sure the frame is fully charged. To charge the frame, many options are provided depending on the model of the frame. They include the adapter charging option, rechargeable batteries or via a USB port connecting to the pc. Basic supported audio format is MP3 and JPEG is what the photos format should be. Manuals are provided for the convenience of the consumers so that there would be no hassle when it comes to how to use the frame or how to go through the features.
Additional Features
Additional features included in frames, again differs by the models of the frame. As per the latest technology input in frames, many will be surprised to find as to what and how the latest technology contributes to modernize the frame. Additional features in a frame will probably suit consumers who have a likening for advanced gadgets.
Some of the frames in the market today have included the printing option which allows consumers to directly send their photos to be printed via a USB cable. On the other hand, certain frames have included the wireless connection so as to enable consumers to load their photos from sites like Flickr and Picasa and play them as slideshow on their respective frame. This option is provided if only the frame has the slideshow feature in it.
The alarm and calendar function are available in some frames only whereby consumers can set up the alarm and they will be awaken by the sound of their favorite music playing. This function is basically featured by frames that support the MP3 format. Video files as well in the supported formats of MPEG 1 and 4 can be played and viewed in certain frames that have chosen to feature this particular video option. Though as of now, very few frames support the AVI format. Together with that, the option to view Text files has also been implied in few frames. Other notable additional features are a menu, remote control, built-in stereo speakers and picture rotation.
Image & Resolution
Images shown depend on the resolution, pixels and the size of the digital photo frame. If the digital photo frame is that of 7 inch, then that will be the approximate size of the photos shown. Resolutions can be anything up to 1024 x 768 depending on its aspect ratio or the size of its displayed photos. Based on the aspect ratio of 16:9, the range of every image is extended or rather stretched to make the image produced look impressive and real. It is said that the higher the number of pixels is, the higher the resolution and sharpness will be. Consumers most likely have to browse through and try out different resolutions to what suits their digital photo frame the most. As for the size, digital photo frames come in all sizes from 8 to 15 inches. All these matter to create the displayer of perfect photos.
Personalize your frames
Having chosen your features, consumers can also style and personalize their frames' appearance. Sizes by width vary from 7-inch to 15-inch and with that done, consumers can choose the color of their frames, be it pink, black or grey. Normally, it's one color per frame. As for the placement of the frames, consumers can decide where to place it. Some of the frames can be hung on the wall. If by any case, consumers choose these kinds of frames then they might as well choose a color that will gel with the décor of their walls.
Purchasing a digital photo frame can be hassle-free if all is taken care of. Start firstly by properly choosing the features you would like your frame to have by browsing through the additional features that you will need the most. Like for example, whether you will need a big internal memory storage or would the supported formats be enough. Other features like the network connectivity, a remote control and a menu. Then moving on to the image quality that the frame will display by carefully choosing the resolutions, pixels and size of the frame. As soon as you will make your choice of frame with its appropriate features, you will find that the results will be more personalized as well as you will have an intuitive picture viewing.

Of course I love animals - and I want to see them well cared for. But something about spoiling-them-rotten makes me sad ... like, couldn't that extra money go towards helping the animals who are in shelters? ... I know, "everyone's a critic" when it comes to money, but I just can't get it out of my head.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — To onlookers, Monsignor Kevin Wallin's fall from grace at his Connecticut parish was like something out of "Breaking Bad," the television series about a high school chemistry teacher who becomes a methamphetamine lord.
The suspended Roman Catholic priest was arrested on federal drug charges this month for allegedly having methamphetamine mailed to him from co-conspirators in California and making more than $300,000 in drugs sales out of his apartment in Waterbury in the second half of last year.
Along the way, authorities said, he bought a small adult video and sex toy shop in the nearby town of North Haven named "Land of Oz & Dorothy's Place," apparently to launder all the money he was making. He has pleaded not guilty, and jury selection in his trial is scheduled to begin March 21.
On social media sites, people couldn't help but compare Wallin with Walter White, the main character on "Breaking Bad" who was making so much cash that he and his wife bought a car wash to launder their profits. He has also been dubbed in some media as "Monsignor Meth."
Wallin, 61, was the pastor of St. Augustine Parish in Bridgeport for nine years until he resigned in June 2011, citing health and personal problems. He previously served six years as pastor of St. Peter's Church in Danbury until 2002.
He was granted a sabbatical in July 2011. The Diocese of Bridgeport suspended him from public ministry last May.
Diocesan officials become concerned about Wallin in the spring of 2011 after complaints about his appearance and erratic behavior, diocese spokesman Brian Wallace told the Connecticut Post.
Some reports of his behavior were startling.
"We became aware that he was acting out sexually — with men — in the church rectory," Wallace told the newspaper, adding that church officials deemed the sexual behavior unbecoming of a priest and asked Wallin to resign.
Wallace didn't return several messages left by The Associated Press. Continued...
"News of Monsignor Kevin Wallin's arrest comes with a sense of shock and concern on the part of the diocese and the many people of Fairfield County who have known him as a gifted, accomplished and compassionate priest," the diocese said in a statement on Jan. 16 after learning about Wallin's arrest. "We ask for prayers for Monsignor Wallin during the difficult days ahead for him."
Wallin's arrest called attention to larger problems within the church, said Voice of the Faithful in the Diocese of Bridgeport, one of many local chapters of the lay organization formed in response to the sexual abuse crisis in the church.
"Catholics have to ask whether the mandatory obligation of celibacy imposes a harmful burden on priests and whether women ought to be admitted to the priesthood," the group said in a statement. "The steady decline in the number of priests, the aging of priests, the terrible sin of pedophilia among priests, and the downfall of Monsignor Wallin are all signs of a sickness in the priesthood. It is time to seek a remedy for this awful malady that threatens the Eucharist, the center of Catholic life."
Elizabeth Badjan, a member of the St. Augustine congregation, told The New York Times that Wallin needed the prayers of parishioners.
"This is all the work of evil," she said as she left Mass last weekend. "He was not close enough to God. He was tempted by the devil."
Wallin's case has drawn comparisons to that of the Rev. Ted Haggard, a well-known evangelical megachurch pastor in Colorado who was forced out of his job in 2006 after a male escort alleged Haggard had paid him for sex and bought crystal meth.
Federal agents arrested Wallin on Jan. 3, and a grand jury indicted him and four other people on drug charges on Jan. 15. All are charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of a substance containing methamphetamine and 50 grams of actual methamphetamine, a crime that carries 10 years to life in prison upon conviction.
Wallin is also charged with six counts of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
Last July, Drug Enforcement Administration agents in New York told agents in the New Haven office that there was an unidentified Connecticut-based drug trafficker distributing methamphetamine in the region. Two months later, an informant told the DEA that the trafficker was Wallin, according to an affidavit by agent Jay Salvatore in New Haven.
The Connecticut Statewide Narcotics Task Force was also investigating Wallin. Continued...
Authorities said an undercover officer with the state task force bought methamphetamine from Wallin six times from Sept. 20 to Jan. 2, paying more than $3,400 in total for 23 grams of the drug.
Federal agents also say they learned through wiretaps and informants about other sales Wallin was making.
Connecticut U.S. Attorney David Fein said federal and state authorities worked together in "the dismantling of what we allege was a significant methamphetamine distribution organization that spanned from California to Connecticut."
Also charged in the case were Kenneth Devries, 52, of Waterbury; Michael Nelson, 40, of Manchester; Chad McCluskey, 43, of San Clemente, Calif.; and Kristen Laschober, 47, of Laguna Niguel, Calif. Authorities say McCluskey and Laschober were involved in the shipping of methamphetamine to Wallin.
Messages by the AP were left lawyers for Wallin, McCluskey and Laschober. Wallin is being detained without bail at the Bridgeport Correctional Center, state records show.

The D Programming Language
During the past few decades, programming languages have come a long way. In comparison to the dawn of UNIX and C, when compiled languages were just getting their start, today's world is full of languages with all sorts of goals and features. In this article, I discuss one such language, D from Digital Mars. D is a natively compiled, statically typed, multiparadigm C-like language. Its aim is to simplify development of any type of application—from kernels to games—by combining the performance and flexibility of C with the productivity-boosting factors of languages, such as Ruby and Python. It originally was conceived by Walter Bright, the man who wrote the first ANSI C++ compiler for DOS. The reference compiler is freely downloadable for both Windows and Linux, and the front end is licensed under a dual GPL and Artistic license.
GDC is a D compiler, which uses the GCC back end and is distributed under the GPL. D's features include the lack of a preprocessor, a garbage collector, flexible first-class arrays, contracts, inline assembler and more. With all this, it still maintains ABI compatibility with C, allowing you to use all your old C libraries from D easily, with little work. The D standard library includes bindings to all standard C functions as well.
In D, the Hello World program goes like this:
import std.stdio; // standard i/o module int main(char[][] args) { writefln("Hello world!"); return 0; }
writef is D's typesafe version of printf; writefln adds a newline character at the end. Garbage collector D includes an automatic garbage collector, relieving the programmer of the need to manage memory explicitly. This allows programmers to focus more on the task at hand, as opposed to having to worry about the condition of each memory chunk. Furthermore, it eliminates a whole class of bugs dealing with dangling pointers and invalid memory references. In times when the GC would slow the application down, there is always the option of turning it off altogether or using C's malloc and free for memory management.
In D, modules are imported using the import statement and have a one-to-one correspondence with source files, with the period as the path separator. Each symbol within a module has two names: the name of the symbol and the name of the symbol prefixed by the module name, which is called the fully qualified name or FQN. For example, writefln can be referred to as writefln or std.stdio.writefln. For cases when the FQN is preferred, the static import statement imports the module's symbols but avoids putting them into the global namespace. For example, both the std.string and std.regexp modules include functions for find, replace and split. Because I'm more likely to use pure string functions than regular expressions, I would statically import std.regexp, so that whenever I wanted to use any of its functions, I would have to be explicit, whereas I simply could call the string functions by their regular names.
Modules can have static constructors and destructors. The static this() function in any module is the static constructor and is invoked before main(); after main has returned the static, ~this() function is invoked. Because modules are imported symbolically, this means there are no header files. Everything is declared once and only once, eliminating the need for declaring functions in advance or declaring classes in two places and trying to keep both declarations consistent.
In D, there is a distinction made between an alias and a type. A typedef introduces an entirely new type to the type-checking system and to function overloading, which are discussed later. An alias is a simple replacement for a type, or optionally a symbol:
alias int size_t; typedef int myint; //can't implicitly convert to int alias someReallyLongFunctionName func;
In D, arrays are first-class types in every way. D contains three types of arrays: static, dynamic and associative arrays. Array declarations read right to left; char[][] is interpreted as an array of arrays of characters:
int[] intArray; // dynamic array of ints int[2][4] matrix; // a 2x4 matrix
All arrays have length, sort and reverse properties. Associative arrays are arrays where the index is something other than sequential integers, possibly text strings, structs or arbitrary integers:
import std.stdio; int main(char[][] args) { int[char[]] petNumber; petNumber["Dog"] = 212; petNumber["cat"] = 23149; int[] sortMe = [2, 9, 341, 23, 74, 112349]; int[] sorted = sortMe.sort; int[] reversed = sorted.reverse; return 0; }
Dynamic and static arrays can be sliced with the .. operator. The starting parameter is inclusive, but the ending parameter is not. Therefore, if you slice from zero to the length of an array, you get the whole array:
int[] numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]; numbers = numbers[0..2] // 1-3 now
Finally, D uses the ~ operator for concatenation, as addition and concatenation are at their most fundamental two different concepts:
char[] string1 = "Hello "; char[] string2 = "world!"; char[] string = string1 ~ string2; // Hello world!
This is a prime example of how D implements a lot of syntactic sugar on top of more low-level routines to make the programmer more focused on the implementation of the task itself. Strings D takes arrays one step further. Because strings are logically arrays of characters, D has no built-in string type; instead we simply declare an array of characters.
Furthermore, D has three types of strings: char, a UTF-8 codepoint; wchar, a UTF-16 codepoint; and dchar, a UTF-32 codepoint. These types, along with standard library routines for manipulating unicode characters, make D a language suited to internationalized programming. In comparison with C, D strings know their length, eliminating even more bugs and security issues dealing with finding the elusive null terminator.
What a badly designed language
I can't see any better than C/C++ or Python.
the "~" concatenating operator is ugly than any other language,
the gc makes it not a pure compiling language.
It's pure compiling
It's pure compiling language! "~" is used becouse, "+" means addition, not concatenating. You can find rational arguments for this and other problems on D web page.
BTW. "inout" parameters are now renamed to "ref".
As of 1.011
"BTW. 'inout' parameters are now renamed to 'ref'."
As of 1.011
Funny though, its badly designed because it uses ~ and has gc. And I wonder what pure compiling means if gc makes this no longer true?
Why makes gc pure compiling no longer true
Why makes gc pure compiling (whatever that means) no longer true ? GC is done by the runtime and has nothing to do with compiling. D is a "pure compiling" language (as pure as you can get - there is nothing more pure than compiling into platform dependent native code). And why is a language badly designed just because it has the option to use garbage collection (in D you can manage memory by yourself and turn garbage collection completely off, if you want to) ?
Using ~ for concatenating arrays and not + makes sense because your not adding strings like you are adding numbers. But that might be just a matter of taste.
But if these two things are the only criterions for you to decide if a language is good or bad designed, you should better not become a language designer.
Improvements over C++
For a (not complete) list of things which are "improvements" over C++ just take a look at
As always this is a matter of taste and personal preference. But C++ had to be designed to be backward compatible to C, so some things could not be as clean designed as they should be and make the language more complicated and error prone.

The walls of an old, repurposed church reverberate with the sounds of joyful singing, strumming guitars, rhythmic tap shoes, theatrical monologues, and whirring pottery wheels. As part of a nonprofit organization, ACPPA Community Art Center's instructors kindle sparks of creativity in the community through youth and adult programs in studio and performing arts, fitness, and dance. A jam-packed calendar keeps families busy with art exhibitions, Mommy and Me pottery-painting classes, and community mural projects bring that residents together to beautify local spaces or paint over typos on the town's welcome sign.
Two former Air Force officers with a passion for teaching children put their minds together to create Bricks 4 Kidz. The lab integrates scientific play with LEGO projects that vary by week. Depending on the week's theme, kids might build and program a satellite, model the Empire State Building, or create an alligator whose mouth snaps shut any time mom tries to feed it peas. Each project combines the fundamental principles of science, architecture, technology, and engineering, thereby supplementing what children learn during the school day. When children complete their project, they transition to free play, tapping into their imaginations or imaginary friends to built whatever they want.
Throughout the week, Live Learn and Play abounds with youngsters of all ages, genders, and special needs, frolicking among inflatable obstacle courses, therapeutic swings, and ball pits under the supervision of childcare professionals. During youth classes and camps certified instructors lead classes in art, dance, and music, enriching kids' bodies and minds while distracting them from plots to age. Meanwhile, in the parent-resource center, adults attend childcare-training workshops and an abundance of classes, including kickboxing, nutrition, and yoga. The center even offers mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which utilizes healing oxygen treatments in an effort to improve conditions such as autism, arthritis, and allergies.

I'm guessing this is also the reason why the 10 year old Ben keeps using Feedback - it's to give screentime for the Conductoid as well as promoting it, as it's a new alien for this series yet the 16 year old Ben can't use it.
Speaking about Ben's 10 year old self, I hate the redesign for Grandpa Max and Gwen for that timeline. They gave Gwen freckles, and Grandpa Max's eyes are no longer visible.
Personally I wish in the future the 16 year old Ben meets a Conductoid and scans it, giving him back the access to Feedback.
I wonder what would a 16 year old Ben's version of Feedback looks like.
I'm really dissepointed. The characters look smaller and littler but they're actually older. Ben is more childish then else and Kevin is an idiot now. Ben 10 was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Sad how they ruined it.
O_O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!What did they do to Gwen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those bastards!!!!!

yeah...it's almost as if the new designer team hates female main character or something.
No female main character, Gwen being "horribly nerfed" in terms of appearance, Julie still not going to appear anytime soon.....

Derrick also mentioned that there will be more females teasing with Ben, just like in that Kraaho episode.
Basically, he admit they hate Julie -_-
There's also the possibility of Bellicus messing with Ben's life.
Bellicus in that episode was very quick into agreeing to fix the universe - something that's a complete opposite of his usual personality.
It's possible he thought of doing something while he's at it, this may be the only exact reason why the smoothie shop changed at the end of the episode. I'm very sure that Ben, the big fan of the smoothie, wouldn't change it in any way, he would have remembered the appearance and the taste. Serena doesn't actually hate Ben, which means she has no reason to mess with it. So it must be Bellicus.
In other words, unlike what people thought, Ben didn't actually successfully use Alien X in that episode.
I don't think it can be called as "successful" when at least one of the three personality is actually messing with Ben.....furthermore, I doubt Ben wants the smoothie shop to be changed, in other words the result didn't go like what he wanted (no change), which is another good reason to say that this isn't a successful usage of Alien X.
this, I don't understand why did they do it.
Ben clearly looks younger and more childish now, which is stupid, in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien he actually looks like a 16 year old and eventually act like one (remember the episode with the Dragon alien mapping the universe?), so he develops as a character, and yet in Omniverse he's back to having the mental of a 10 year old?
Even worse part, Derrick said the AF/UA Ben lacks personality, when the Omniverse Ben is just the original series 10 year old Ben in the body of a supposedly 16 year old Ben.
In UA/AF he sometimes think before acting, in Omniverse so far he almost never (or maybe never) think before acting, which is exactly like in the original series.
also, iirc I've read in Derrick's formspring that Celestialsapien (Alien X's race) may has a predator, because it's boring to think that the omnipotent being has no predator.
Seriously? As boring as it might be, it MAKES SENSE. Why the heck an omnipotent being has a predator? No one would dare to even challenge one, let alone actually attacking. And even if something is stupid enough to do so, a Celestialsapien can easily shrug it off.
Also, we know the reason why Primus and the Codon Stream are retconned is because their concept is "convoluted".
Which confuses me greatly, because there's nothing "convoluted" about them.....

So, there is this future episode called "Rules of Engagement", and Julie will be in it.....the episode title alone may be enough to spark a discussion, but I'm more interested in whether they will redesign her or not

Huh. Well, it looks like I was right when to expect how this show was being received critically. I was a little into the original Ben 10, and watched nearly all of the first season of Alien Force (but I never watched any more after that). Now there's 4 series? o-o Looking at what y'all posted, I hope CN doesn't try to milk out a 5th series for some reason.
Hopefully she won't be changed by much, unlike Gwen. And hopefully, no freckles.
Also, I've seen the preview for next episode, "Store 23".......can't say I like Ben 23's design. Seriously, earrings? -_-
Though I find the gyro stuffs to be hilarious. And look, Ben (the real Ben, not the alternate dimension Ben) actually think first before acting this time.
Apparently we'll be seeing a bit more Articguana that I expected. Also time paradox!
Speaking of paradox, the Omniverse staffs changed Professor Paradox's design by a lot lol
I don't mind the new design, though. I actually like it.
I stopped watching shortly after the original series ended. Saw a bit of Alien Force and Ultimate Alien when they aired and I thought they were alright. Lacked the charm of the original series, so I never got too into either. The new design for Omniverse totally confused me so I haven't watched anything but the first episode.
I still think the Omnitrix is the coolest thing in the world, though.

TBh I dojn; get the hate. The art is not as bad as people are complaining. Well Kevin and Max is kinda ehh. Max needs eyeballs XD But yeah I'm enjoying it myself. I do get people missing the AF/UA vibe however. Loved the new ep. Ben 23 was cute plus the Cow and Chicken reference was great. Also the joke about Vilgax being served as food was funny
The art on its own is not bad, it's just way too different compared to the previous series. One of the main complaint is not exactly about the art style, but rather the appearance of Ben that they created using that art style. Can't they make him actually looks 16, instead of younger? They did well with Rook, why can't they do the same for the MAIN CHARACTER?
But yeah, Ben 23 is a great episode.
Anyway, I just saw this pic yesterday
Spoiler:- pic:
that's supposedly Derrick on the right, but that's not what I want to say here.
Look at the board on the back. Anodite Ben.....with the Omnitrix symbol? Wasn't it already established that Anodites don't have DNA?
Ah never noticed until now that he looks younger. Yeah your right they could of done a bit better with that part.
Now that I think of it isn't the Ben 10 series close to it's 10th year in 2014? Feels like the franchise just began. Makes me wonder if Omniverse is the final series or if it will keep going.
As for Anodite Ben could it be a Ben look like alien like that white haired guy who kinda reminds me of Chaud Blaze lol
If it is a Ben lookalike, surely it shouldn't possess that Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
That and Gwen needs to lose her freckles. She didn't have them back then.......
Anyway, seems like a future episode called "Showdown" will explain why 16 year old Ben never use Feedback despite using it like crazy when he was still 10 years old.
I'm interested in that.
And wow I like Julie's redesign.
