Philadelphia Eagles tackle Lane Johnson has been suspended four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, the league announced Wednesday.
Johnson — the No. 4 overall pick in the 2013 draft who started all 16 games at right tackle as a rookie — said in a statement issued through the team that he "mistakenly and foolishly" took a prescription drug while training in April and failed to clear it with the Eagles' athletic trainers or check the banned substance list.
"I am extremely sorry for this mistake and I will learn from it and be smarter in the future," Johnson's statement said. "I would like to sincerely apologize to Mr. (Jeff) Lurie, (general manager) Howie Roseman, Coach (Chip) Kelly and his staff, my teammates and our amazing Philadelphia Eagles fans. This will be very hard on me to not be battling with my teammates for four games — but I will be ready and better than ever when I return."
The NFL does not announce what drug the player tested positive for.
The suspension will cost Johnson just $116,470 — 4/17ths of his $495,000 base salary in 2014. The four-year contract he signed last July included a $12,818,620 signing bonus.
Johnson will be eligible to participate in training camp and the preseason before beginning his suspension. He'll be eligible to return to the Eagles' roster Sept. 29, a day after the team's Week 4 game.
"We're very disappointed to learn of his suspension," the Eagles said in a statement. "We have spoken to Lane about the details of the suspension. He understood what he did wrong and took full responsibility. The key for him, however, is to learn from that mistake and move forward with his preparation for the 2014 season."

chris, i swear i've seen that exact post on discgolfreview.com about 5000 times.
"wobble" is the disc equivalent of a Baseball knuckle ball. No or little spin. Lack of sufficient spin relative to air speed for the disc design will most always result in wobble. Two solutions; throw slower, which is no good if you're looking for greater distance or put more spin on the disc. A little wrist action snap should do it. Seek out CD. He is the master if you want to go extreme spin.
Thanks to everbody who replied I see I need to practice a lot more when I get on my feet again about everything I am doing wrong has been mentioned especially dropping of the shoulders and gripping to tight the only thing I question is rolling of the wrist. Don't you want the wrist to roll? I do throw rightbackhand and speed of disc must be a factor cause my favorites are an Eagle and a Valkyre since been throwing a lot can't hardly throw a Shark with any accuracy any more.
Rolling the wrist and snapping from the wrist are completely different things. Rolling the wrist (which is really more a rotation of the forearm at the elbow) is not good for a general throwing motion. Snapping the wrist increases disc rotation out of the hand (imagine whip snapping a towel). I've seen Climo snapping a disc towel to stay warm while waiting at a tee. Careful not to go overboard with snap at first. If you do, you'll find yourself loosing directional control. Also don't be afraid of a strong grip. Not white knuckled, but a firm grip while while still keeping the wrist, forearm and elbow relaxed works well.

Like Paul Irish commented, I too have been playing around with font-size-adjust as a way of reducing the impact of FOUT. It only works in Firefox in the moment, but it's a very effective way of getting x-heights to match perfectly. Obviously there are other metrics and characteristics involved in type matching, but x-height is probably the one with the biggest impact.

"Is this yet another nail in the VLE coffin, and should we now be looking toward more simplified, personalised learning environments based on individual needs?"... some useful reflections on VLEs' worth or otherwise.
I guess I'm a bit torn on this one. I use a VLE as part of my work and my studies. I support and develop others in their use of VLEs and yet I also see them used so statically, so badly, so linearly, so sporadically that they also frequently make me question their worth. I sometimes wonder if the drive to have an online presence is worth it, if that online presence is only going to be an online document dumping group? So often a VLE becomes a place to put all the PowerPoint slides which have already bored your students in their face-to-face lecture (Mann and Robinson, 2009). Where is the educational worth? Where is the research that shows how effective and enhancing a VLE can be? Where are the models of really good VLE practice which can be adapted and adopted as with effective face-to-face teaching? Would you think a VLE was a good thing if you were a student and all it ever did was bung online the things which have already bored you once? Would you want to engage with it further? Would you rather go elsewhere?
VLEs are often packed full of 'worthwhile' tools. But, institutional VLEs can take on an appearance of a kitchen which, while having some useful equipment, has become filled with the kitchen gadgets you buy because you think you can see a value in them (fondue set, avocado slicer, icecream maker, cappuccino frother etc)... but actually, they sit and moulder at the back of the cupboard. More useless than useful. We describe the various bits of a VLE as 'tools', but in reality, we don't want to use 'tools'. We're not bashing together bits of furniture... we're after creative spaces for learning and thinking. "Tool" is a hard word. A working word. A functional word. It's awkward and not terribly aesthetically pleasing. Deep learning can be a soft, woolly, wonderful, messy, exploratory, meandering thing. How do virtual learning environments really encourage that sort of learning?
The VLE concept - a safe space where we get on with learning - sounds like it works and should work. But our online lives aren't like that. Where physically we attend (or used to attend) physical spaces our online world is free of the constraints of requiring a physical presence in a single location... and yet... the VLE seeks to provide us with that constrained world again. It jars. VLEs don't have to be used in that way. Learning doesn't have to be like that.
I don't know whether the VLE is having nails hammered into its coffin as Steve suggests in his blog posting... but... summat's up with it all. Technology should be enhancing and empowering. VLEs, so often, are not. I don't know if blame lies with the VLE or with the culture in which it sits? Change is happening amongst learners, society, cultures... everwhere. What happens if we don't find ways to be creative, to support and exist with that change? Will we look back at VLEs in a few years time and say 'did we really think that was the way to go???'

WELCOME to our Friday blog. Every Friday we hand over to Carl and Alex Smith – known online as simply Carl & Alex. These super keen youngsters have a passion for making a variety of fishing videos, and provide a youth dimension to our new blogging mix.
We hope you enjoy the blog, written by Carl, and share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the icons above, or by the "old skool" method of telling fellow anglers!
Feel free also to comment by using the special space at the bottom on this page
THIS week we took a break from hunting specimens and returned to our match fishing roots.
Before we started making videos seriously, we mainly fished matches at our club, Crowborough and District Angling Association. These matches are specifically organised for the juniors in the club so are held on waters with mostly silverfish stocks. Over a period of several years, Alex and I caught many fish in these matches but somehow Alex nearly always managed to beat me and in fact won the junior trophy in our last season.
Having had a whole year of fishing no matches and picking up a pole only once or twice, we were invited to fish the last match of the season, the Junior and Senior Match. My first thought was, "How are we going to fish?" I decided to concentrate on the whip hoping to catch lots of small roach, but Alex thought that pellets and paste would be worth a try for the bigger fish.
We arrived at the venue and drew our partners. I was with Dave who had won this match three years previously with Alex, and Alex was with John, (a bit of a local expert) so he and I were happy, not just because we were fishing alongside experienced anglers but because they were both friendly and very helpful.
Roger, the match organiser, blew the horn and we all shipped out our poles. Apart from me that is. I still had not tied up my whip rig! I had not had any time to prepare the day before so I had to tie up my rigs on the day. Not recommended!
Roughly 15 minutes into the match I eventually flicked our my rig but because I had been throwing out pinches of maggots to my spot since the match had started, I was getting bites straight away! These bites were quite hard to hit because the fish were taking it on the drop. I shallowed up a little and I started getting more positive bites.
My first fish arrived, it was a tiny roach. Then another, and another, and another. I was catching and feeding on every cast.
My partner John also swung in a handful of small roach but I was a bit worried because Alex had just landed a good Crucian on the opposite bank.
It was fish a chuck for a little while, but then I lost a slightly bigger roach. As the rig pinged out of the water it bunched up and caused a nasty tangle.
Whilst I was setting up a new rig, Dave hooked a much better fish. It was pulling metres of elastic! He called over to me to look and I turned to see him holding a great tench. He placed it gently into the keepnet and shipped his pole back out.
From then on the fishing just got harder and harder. The roach I had been catching disappeared. Dave started a new pole line with only a small skimmer as the result. During this time, I noticed that Alex had caught another Crucian and his partner John was catching roach consistently, not that I'm competitive!
For the remainder of the match everyone struggled for bites, to the point where we were waiting half an hour for a bite, which when it came I always seemed to miss!
After 3 hours Roger blew the horn to signal the all out. I was unsure how Dave and I had done; did we have a chance against Alex and his partner?
As we went round the lake weighing everyone's captures I thought that we might be in luck. And as it turned out, we had won the match.
Unbelievably our total weight was one ounce more than Alex and John's.
Surprisingly, Alex took losing to his big brother quite well; he is maturing at long last.
So I had succeeded in bringing the trophy home for the second year in a row, here's to next year!
The pole and whip fishing had reminded me of when we used to fish matches all the time, we would never have been found using boilies or carp rods! As a result I have decided to try and organise a bit of pole fishing on our local river which should be fun!
Tight lines to all of you match fishermen, pleasure anglers or those after specimens! We'll be back here next week, and we'll have a new video for you too.

The speeches are over. The confetti has been swept off the arena floor. And delegates dazed by a week of speeches (and partying) are headed home.
Here are ten winners — and ten losers — at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte:
Bill Clinton
He gave the best speech at either convention. The 42nd president, more popular than ever in the polls, reminded people of the differences between the parties. He reminded people why he was twice elected president. Great speech. But was it too good? Did he overshadow Barack Obama?
Julian Castro
A star is born. The San Antonio mayor made a dynamic debut on the national stage. He may not have wowed the world like Illinois state Sen. Obama did at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, but he became an instant sensation. "Julian Castro made the most of his time in the national limelight, transforming him into one of the Democratic Party's most visible Hispanic leaders," said Rice University political scientist Mark P. Jones. He even got an instant celebrity impersonator, Jimmy Fallon.
Gabby Giffords
An American hero. The former Arizona congressman brought delegates to tears (literally, as Joe Biden would say) with her simple recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. Her voice was strong. Her trademark smile was evident. And she insisted on walking on her own. Her brave comeback from assassination attempt is an all-American profile in courage.
Michelle Obama
The first lady has become a first-rate public speaker. Her Monday night address to the convention was better than her husband's Thursday acceptance speech. She made the case for Barack Obama as a caring human being. Very effectively. "The first lady cemented her place as a popular figure and will be in high demand on the campaign trail as a surrogate and for fundraising," said Austin-based Republican consultant Matt Mackowiak.
Sandra Fluke
The Georgetown law student's 15 minutes of fame has not ended. Rush Limbaugh made her famous by calling her a slut after she spoke out in favor of birth-control coverage required by the president's health-care law. Her prime-time speech to the Democratic convention highlighted a national star in the making, a young woman who may be serving in Congress long after Rush Limbaugh has left the airwaves.
Cory Booker
The Newark mayor delivered a dynamic speech that wowed delegates on the first night of the convention. Not a natural orator, he managed to appeal both to the minds and the hearts of the delegates. He could become New Jersey's first African American governor. Or senator. At this point, the future looks very bright for a young mayor with a solid record and significant social media skills.
Cecile Richards
The daughter of former Texas Gov. Ann Richards has become a national star in her own right. As CEO of Planned Parenthood, she has been on the front lines in the fight over women's health programs. At the Democratic convention, she brought delegates to their feet by reminding them of her mother's famous 1988 Democratic National Convention keynote address. Texas Democrats are begging her to return to her native state so she can run for statewide office, but Richards is not going anywhere. For now.
John Kerry
The former Democratic presidential candidate made a compelling case for President Obama's foreign-policy achievements. The Massachusetts senator, rumored to be the second-term replacement for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (if there is a second Obama term), also delivered some of the best putdowns of fellow Massachusetts politician Mitt Romney. He ridiculed Romney's multiple positions on the war in Afghanistan, noting (with self-deprecating irony) that Romney was for the administration's policy before he was against it.
Eva Longoria
She's no Clint Eastwood. The Corpus Christi native, now a Hollywood star, stuck to the script, didn't talk to a chair and talked policy with intelligence and passion. There were lots of Democrats desperate to make the "Desperate Housewives" star into a Democratic elected official. She's taken the first step by serving as a national co-chair of the Obama campaign. Next stop San Antonio?
Tammy Duckworth
The wounded Iraq war veteran embodies the resilience of America's new generation of warriors. Now a candidate for Congress from Illinois, this former Department of Veterans Affairs official has improved significantly as a public speaker since her first, unsuccessful, campaign for the House. She's heavily favored to oust a Tea Party freshman in November. Watch for her in the new Congress.
The Obama Cabinet
Not a single member of the Obama Cabinet delivered a memorable speech. Education Secretary Arne Duncan was particularly flat. It would have been interesting to have heard from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but she's not playing partisan politics. This year.
Nancy Pelosi
If Bill Clinton was an inspiring blast from the past, the former House Speaker was a cringe-worthy one. The Senate's Democratic women, led by Maryland's Barbara Mikulski, showed the finest side of Democratic women elected officials. Pelosi's uneven speaking style and hyper-partisanship don't play well on national television.
Harry Reid
The Senate Majority Leader is a boring public speaker, even when he's reading a well-written script. His deputy leader, Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin, is a far more dynamic voice for Democratic ideals.
The Bidens
Are we home yet? The Jill and Joe Biden Show went on waaaaaaaaaaay too long. Blame it on Joe, though. He's committed so many gaffes that Democrats spent more than an hour of their precious primetime programming reminding Americans why he is a distinguished public servant.
Caroline Kennedy
JFK's daughter was given the worst speaking slot of the convention: immediately after Gabby Giffords' stirring appearance. Still, Caroline Kennedy made the least of her opportunity with a painful oration that left delegates feeling sorry for her. She's probably lucky that her 2009 flirtation with a U.S. Senate seat came to nothing.
The platform drafters
How could the Democrats have forgotten to include "God" and "Jerusalem" in the platform? For missing those two words, someone should have said two words to the person responsible, said Democratic consultant Harold Cook: "You're fired! What a stupid distraction."
Martin O'Malley
The Maryland governor, rumored to be a presidential wannabe for 2016, didn't seem very presidential at the podium. "It looked like he came to give a college lecture and nobody told him it was a pep rally," said Cook.
Yes, the signature domestic policy accomplishment of the president's first term was mentioned — and defended — on the convention floor. But the president hardly mentioned it in his acceptance speech.
North Carolina Democrats
Gov. Beverly Perdue didn't exactly electrify the convention with her remarks. And two embattled House incumbents didn't even come to the convention in their home state. Charlotte hosted a fine party, but the North Carolina Democratic Party probably didn't benefit very much.
Paul Sadler
Who? The Texas Democratic Senate nominee blew an opportunity to (a) get some national attention and (b) spend some time with his state's grassroots activists when he opted to avoid Charlotte. Sadler is a massive underdog in his race against Republican Ted Cruz, but he missed a chance to build support and raise a bit of money.
Bonus loser: The convention's music people
The folks who chose the music at the Democratic convention didn't really know what they were doing. Several times, they played the music to songs with inappropriate lyrics. Example #1: Maroon 5's "Makes Me Wonder," which contains this lyric: "give me something to believe in, because I don't believe in you anymore." Example #2: The Black-eyed Peas' hit "Where Is the Love?"

Hi All,
Just FYI we are now formally investigating the possibility of officially spporting BibleWorks running on third party emulators on Mac and Linux. So far what we find looks promising. Re the question of this thread, BibleWorks does run under CrossOver, whch does not rquire a Windows license. Crossover is not free but it is not expensive either. It does have some problems, specifically with CHM files, but we are hopeful that we will eventually have a good, supported solution for our Mac and Linux users. I can't give any dates. The best I can do is tell you that this is something that we are now taking seriously.

This is great news. Thank you so much.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
BW ranks top in my programs, but I "have to" live in a Mac world now.
Where do I sign up on a waitlist for a Mac-ported Bibleworks?
Do you take a deposit?
Agree. This is great news
My horses are held. But this is great news. Also, I never knew about CrossOver. Running a free 30 day trial now, and all of a sudden, I have BibleWorks back on my Mac. Thank you!!!

Mayer-Avedon Women's Support Group
Unfortunately, the sounds of silence often permeate the lives of HIV-negative women who are lovers or life partners of HIV-positive men. These women experience the pain and confusion of isolation unless they have some support in place to examine their lives in the situation in which they, sometimes surprisingly, find themselves.
"One of the most important aspects of the Mayer-Avedon group is that it helps women find an identity. These women, the HIV-negative partners and wives of positive male partners, don't know where they fit into the epidemic. They know that their lives are completely colored by AIDS, and yet, they aren't able talk about it so they don't have a context in which to see themselves."
Elizabeth Avedon knows exactly how that feels. Ten years ago she lost her husband to AIDS. Eight years ago she and Ruth Mayer started the Mayer-Avedon group to reach other women like them. Shortly after her husband died, Elizabeth Avedon felt isolated and alone. Attempting to raise her two-year-old son and returning to school for a degree in social work left her feeling overwhelmed. One of her professors suggested that she call Ruth Mayer, a woman who had recently lost her husband to AIDS as well. "At the time, I didn't know anybody in my situation and I was a little frightened to call her, but I did, and she came over to dinner." While their young sons played in the next room they talked about drugs and their children's grief. "At the end of the evening, we just looked at each other and said, 'If this is happening to us there have to be other women in this situation.' "
Other women were in similar situations, and by word of mouth, playground contacts, and private doctor's referrals three other women came to share their stories and their grief. In the eight years the group has existed that is the only thing that hasn't changed -- women coming together to share their stories and grief. Mayer-Avedon quickly became the only place where women could work out their grief, struggle with their anger, and work to overcome the stigma of AIDS.
Many Stories to Tell
When Sonia's husband died of AIDS, she was devastated and terrified. She had lost her husband and her house in a matter of days, and she had two children to care for and support. "I just wasn't prepared for how much hurt and anger I would feel once he was gone."
The strength of her reaction surprised her because "the entire time my husband was ill I was focused on him. As the negative partner to someone who is HIV-positive you feel this intense loyalty to your partner. You also have incredible pain, but you are not able to deal with it because you are not the one who is sick. I focused on my husband and put myself on the back burner. I couldn't acknowledge my own pain."
Many women who come to the group have similar reactions. They are unable to make the transition from lover to nurse and eventually widow. What often seemed to be a solid relationship is rocked by their partner's diagnosis. As Elizabeth Avedon points out, "the stigma of AIDS creates secrets, and secrets create silence. Silence creates guilt. And guilt inhibits their ability to own their confusion, anger and grief."
"We have a woman in the group now . . ." Elizabeth continues "It's been two years since her husband died, and she hasn't told anybody. She says it's because of the stigma. But it is not the stigma of her husband having AIDS that concerns her but what people may think of her -- what kind of wife has a husband who has AIDS? I feel this woman will not be able to leave the group and live her life freely until she is able to share her situation with the outside world."
Even Elizabeth found herself silenced for a time by the disease that killed her husband. Her husband had asked her to keep his illness a secret, but after his death she became adamant about telling the truth. And, in turn, she felt she had to help other women gain control of their lives by sharing a truth with which they have all had to deal.
Women in the Mayer-Avedon groups come from all different socio-economic and cultural backgrounds -- from upwardly mobile professionals to single mothers on assistance. They are women whose experience and exposure to HIV is varied. Some knew that their husband was HIV-positive when they married him. Some found out after many years of marriage. Some were aware of their lover's status as a former intravenous (IV) drug user. Others were unaware of their partner's bisexual lifestyle. Some have never known anyone in their community with AIDS. Others live in communities destroyed by AIDS. But Elizabeth feels the one thing they all have in common is "that they all need the group -- and the groups are so well run they can talk about their differences and try to restore a sense of control to the chaos that AIDS has brought into their lives."
The groups are often the first places that women can share the feelings that can't be expressed without criticism -- feelings of anger and rage. Laura, whose husband was diagnosed with AIDS immediately after the birth of their second child, learned at that point that he used to frequent gay bathhouses. Laura did not allow her husband to return to their home again and arranged for her husband to be cared for by his brother. Because she had told friends and family that her husband had cancer they felt that she was "cold-hearted". As she said, "They don't understand that I couldn't take care of him. They don't understand that he can't be my husband anymore." She could not vent her rage at her husband for putting her and their children at risk.
Often, women must reevaluate their belief that they have a perfect marriage when they learn about their significant other's HIV-positive status. Women who have been married for many years feel that they don't even know the man to whom they are married. Some women don't even want to know how their partner contracted AIDS and often internalize the fear that they are at the root of the 'problems' in their marriage.
As Elizabeth Avedon points out, the healing process "is very different for a women whose husband got AIDS through behavior they didn't know about and a woman who has chosen to have a relationship with someone is HIV-positive. There is a lot of rage and guilt among women who feel betrayed. When my husband became ill I was so angry that it happened, but I felt that I really couldn't get angry because I was healthy and he was suffering."
Even women who choose to become involved with men they know are HIV-positive experience feelings regarding stigma and guilt. Margot, a new member of the Mayer-Avedon group, has known her lover for over ten years. She knew he was HIV-positive when she became involved with him three years ago. As their relationship became more serious, she began to think about seeking out a support group. "Most of my friends were supportive, but some thought I was crazy to be involved in this relationship. Finally, I met with the two social workers who run the support groups and they really knew what I was talking about."
It's All in the Family
The support groups are often the only place that women can talk about the difficulties they face as a nurse or a single parent. This may also be the only place where they can discuss what to tell their families and children or the intricacies of negotiating safer-sex. Though safer-sex has become standard among certain groups at high-risk, most heterosexual, monogamous women have not had to traverse the intimate terrain of safer-sex practices. Though Mayer-Avedon does not actually hold seminars to teach women safer sex practices, it is a place to share methods, ideas and feelings that may be painfully embarrassing in other situations.
Single motherhood and the risk of having a child with an HIV-positive partner is another issue that comes up often in the groups. As one woman in the group said, "All my friends are having babies. They ask me why I'm not. I can't tell them the truth, so I tell them that my career is too demanding." Sonia remembers how she felt when her second child was born, "I felt so different than I did when my first son was born. I felt so sad when I gave birth to my second baby knowing that I didn't know how long his father was going to be with us."
As the face of AIDS has changed so has the shape (and size) of the Mayer-Avedon groups. There are now different groups for partners and widows, and now that people are living longer with HIV the challenge will be to continue to provide a safe place for women to come and share their stories and learn how to live with the disease. It is the goal of Mayer-Avedon to provide hope to families living with AIDS, to help women from yielding to the disease by becoming positive themselves or losing their identities in the role of full-time caregiving.
They have been enormously successful in the eight years they have been operating. The women who join the partner's groups stay for an average of three years, and women who have been involved in the partner's groups stay in the widow's groups (after the death of their partner) for a shorter period of time.
Some women have used the groups to learn to speak out for themselves and their families. Sonia, whose strong voice seems to have fully developed in the nurturing atmosphere, often finds herself in the role of educator and advocate. She views speaking out and writing about herself "not as courageous; it's about doing something positive. It makes me remember that I am not alone."
For more information please contact Mayer-Avedon Women's Support Group, Inc. 18 West 18th Street, 11th Floor, 212-989-6649. Mayer-Avedon will be forming a mixed status couples support group. Please contact them at the number given above to receive information.

My artwork examines the nature of human perception, as relative, transient and personal, reflecting a countless range of factors and containing elements often perplexing even to the foremost theorists. Led by personal interest, my work aims to present experiments for the viewer's eye, inviting recognition of the indirect and likely imprecise way they view the world. In constructing my work, scale proved to be pivotal in utilising and exposing the eye's habits and idiosyncrasies, whilst human faces as the basis of my subject matter were conceptually valuable because of the especial connection the mind holds in recognising such features.

Ricky Wayne Warren went behind bars at the Lenoir County Jail on Wednesday, but he wasn�t there for long before he was moved to another facility.
Ricky Wayne Warren went behind bars at the Lenoir County Jail on Wednesday, but he wasn�t there for long before he was moved to another facility.
The 56-year-old Kinston man received his second grand jury indictment in three months regarding sexual acts with a child, leading to an arrest by Lenoir County Sheriff�s Office deputies. He was placed in jail under a $750,000 bond.
Thursday, Lenoir County Superior Court Judge Paul L. Jones signed a safekeeping order to transfer Warren from the county jail to a state prison unit � the choice of which is at the discretion of the state commissioner of corrections.
According to the order, the LCSO cannot guarantee Warren�s safety at the county jail since he�s a former law enforcement officer, and that it would be best for all parties concerned if Warren relocated to a state prison facility.
Warren worked for the Kinston Police Department from Aug. 29. 1987 to Sept. 19, 1989.
According to court documents, Warren allegedly committed sexual crimes against a girl younger than 13 years old between Jan. 10 and Jan. 11. LCSO deputies arrested him Wednesday afternoon on a grand jury indictment for first degree sexual offense with a child, a Class B1 felony.
On Sept. 9, deputies arrested Warren following a grand jury indictment for taking indecent liberties with a child and committing a lewd and lascivious act. Both crimes are Class F felonies. Warren went into the Lenoir County Jail on a $50,000 bond and an agent of Accredited Surety and Casualty bailed him out Sept. 12.
Attorney Jeff Foster of Greenville represents Warren in regard to the September indictment. The case is currently in the discovery phase.
Warren�s Superior Court date for the December indictment is Jan. 8.

Rescuers Pull California Family from Sinking Vehicle
Two men and a woman dove in to a California estuary Sunday to rescue a family, including two children, trapped in a vehicle about to submerge.
Andy Goodwin, Erik Schorken and Schorken's family were driving along the estuary in Oakland, Calif., on their way back from a Father's Day lunch when they noticed a woman frantically waving her hands and pointing towards the water.
"I said to my wife, 'I think someone might have gone into the water,'" Schorken told ABC News. "But no one was stopping."
Then they saw an ambulance, so Schorken decided to pull over and see what was going on.
It turned out the ambulance was there for another matter, but the car's occupants noticed people were trapped in the water, so Schorken, Goodwin and Tracey McCormick, who was also driving by the estuary at the time, jumped in and swam out to the scene.
"This car was 60 degrees up in the air; it was going nose down into the water," Schorken said. "I just kept swimming out there."
The mission soon appeared hopeless. Because the car's doors were locked, the would-be rescuers had no way of accessing the victims. Halfway towards the car, Goodwin swam back to the shore.
"I swam about halfway out and I realized I wasn't going to be able to do much," Goodwin told ABCNews.com.
McCormick said that when she reached the vehicle, the victims' hands "were on the windows screaming to get us out."
One of the paramedics had an emergency pocket knife designed to break through glass. She handed Goodwin the pocket knife. Goodwin subsequently gave it to McCormick, who gave it to Schorken after she had trouble with it. Schorken broke through the window, and he and McCormick took the family - a mother, a father, and two kids Schorken guessed were between the ages of 7 and 10 - 20 feet to shore.
As soon as they reached the land, the car completely submerged into the water.
"I looked behind me and the car was gone. I couldn't believe how fast it sunk," said McCormick.
The family was fine and was not taken to the hospital, the Oakland Police Department told ABC News.
KGO-TV reported the rescue Sunday, referring to Goodwin and Schorken as "good Samaritans."
Schorken spent nine years in Brazil as a missionary and is a pastor at his church in California. He and Goodwin are friends through their church.
Schorken's desire to put himself on the line, he said, stemmed from his faith.
"We're Christians," he said. "I just feel like were obligated to help. What if it was my wife in the car and my kids? I would want someone to help. You just act accordingly."
McCormick said it was never a question of whether she would help, but how fast she could get to the vehicle.
Although Schorken did not know the name of the family he rescued, he had their phone number and was planning on inviting them over for dinner.
Calls to the number Schorken provided went unanswered.
Johnna Watson of the Oakland Police Department said the family likely would not have survived without the help.
"Time is of the essence in a situation like this," she told ABC News. "By the time we arrived on scene the occupants were taken out. This made the difference between life and death."
Watson said there will be an investigation into the cause of the accident.

The date was December 3, 2007, and the plane was a gleaming Gulfstream corporate jet, crammed to its wood veneer with bottled water, uneaten crudités, Hillary-Clinton-for-President staffers and a few reporters whose bosses had paid a fortune to fly with the frontrunner's incipient campaign.
The little plane circled the frozen rural Iowa runway a couple of times with an air of diffidence, like a purebred greyhound sniffing kibble, before diving down. The day was clear and blue. But foreshadowing the presidential primary season yet to come, something went unaccountably wrong when rubber hit runway. As the wheels slammed into the gravel-and-sand-covered ice, the little jet spun a few degrees off center, careening down the tarmac, perilously off-kilter. The instant the plane stopped, gray-blue smoke filled the cabin. "Now would be a good time" for everybody to deplane, the pilot suggested.
Story Continued Below
I popped out into the near-zero cold, and tried to steady my feet on the treacherous brown ice when I noticed Clinton operative Jay Carson, coatless and shivering, doubled over with laughter.
"What the hell's so funny?" I asked.
"Do you even know where the fuck we are?" he said. "Clear Lake, Iowa! We're in Clear Lake, Iowa! This is the runway where Buddy Holly crashed!"
Our plane, its engine fouled by runway gravel sucked into the turbine, was an early campaign casualty and had to be removed by a crane. When Clinton's own jet—forced into a holding pattern for an hour by our mishap—finally landed, she sped off in a car to the Surf Ballroom (the same venue where Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper played their final notes) to deliver a pre-planned counterattack on the Obama and Edwards campaigns. She began with an apology to the audience on our behalf. I would have been on time, Clinton declared, if it hadn't been for the press plane blocking my way.
I haven't thought much about that incident, or about much at all that happened during Clinton's crash-landed 2008 campaign, since then. In fact, I've probably spent less time thinking about my three-plus years covering Hillary Clinton as a reporter for the New York tabloid Newsday than any other period of my career. In part it's because so many other people have picked over the bleached bones of the campaign. In part it's because after the '08 primaries I jumped into other assignments that diverted me to Capitol Hill and the Obama White House. But there were other reasons not to linger. I regarded the whole period as a time when nearly everything that could have gone wrong actually did, and not just for Clinton.
As far back as early 2007 you could feel the economy collapsing, sense the spreading fear at town halls in Ohio, Indiana, South Carolina, New Hampshire and Nevada when Clinton would sign copies of her memoir and we'd wade into the crowd to fill our notebooks with other people's problems. The newspaper business was imploding too, and my own paper endured wave after wave of buyouts and reorganizations. One day in late February 2008, when I was holed up in a Cincinnati hotel room, a friend informed me that Newsday's five-person national editing staff had been sacked en masse. I'd now be filing to the Long Island desk—you know, along with the traffic fatality reports. What that implied was clear soon enough when I cornered Bill Clinton and extracted a comment about a top campaign donor who just been accused of corruption. "He was hiding in plain view," Clinton told me. But my editor posted the quote as "He was hiding in Plainview"—assuming I'd meant the guy lived in a Nassau County commuter town of the same name.
Clinton's campaign disintegrated almost as precipitously—especially after her devastating loss in the Iowa caucuses, which the candidate and her staff blamed partly on a press corps they believed to be in the bag for Barack Obama. The rage was intense, and intensely self-defeating.
Around that time, I was chatting with a source in Clinton's campaign headquarters who had retreated to a stairwell with his BlackBerry when his boss stormed through the door and shouted, "Who are you talking to?" The next thing I heard was the thunk-thunk-thunk as the phone bounced down the concrete steps.
"Call you right back!" the official offered gamely, after retrieving his battered device.
Things were just as bad for me personally. My father was diagnosed with end-stage dementia at the start of the campaign, and his health failed in lockstep with the political fortunes of Hillaryland. In the intervening years, after my father died, I grew to view the whole 2008 thing as creepy and hexed, the Macbeth of presidential election cycles.
Like most '08 veterans, I had sworn off covering Clinton ever again, never mind the looming 2016 presidential race and Clinton's overwhelming perceived advantage. Then, a couple of months ago, I was teamed with my Politico colleague and fellow Hillary '08 veteran Maggie Haberman to work on a story about Clinton's long and rocky relationship with the political press. Here was a pretty straightforward and circumscribed assignment, and we had no trouble inducing people to flesh out the details of what we already knew: Clinton feels as if she's been unfairly targeted by reporters over the years, was deeply hurt by the searing coverage of her personal life in the 1990s (conjured anew by Monica Lewinsky's I-want-to-be-left-alone exhibitionist riff in Vanity Fair this month) and believes that the "scars" she's earned were inflicted by a frivolous and vulpine media.

This week's writer is Dr. Marvin Malek, MD MPH, who is an internist working at Central Vermont Hospital in Berlin.
The financial problem that occurred recently at Porter Hospital isn't the first and won't be the last cost overrun we'll see in Vermont related to the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs). Unfortunately, Angelo Lynn (Addison Independent, Jan. 10) grossly understates the magnitude of the health information technology (HIT) problem in the health sector, dismissing the Porter case as a mere cost mis-estimation.

|Our report from exactly a month ago
"The attack on the installation that crosses the increasingly volatile Sinai region occurred in the Massaeed area west of the Mediterranean coastal town of al-Arish, in north Sinai. Witnesses in al-Arish told Reuters that they could see flames from their town when the attack took place. Security in Sinai was relaxed after Mubarak's fall as the police presence thinned out across Egypt. Egypt's 20-year gas deal with Israel, signed in the Mubarak era, is unpopular with some Egyptians, with critics accusing Israel of not paying enough for the fuel. Previous explosions have sometimes led to weeks-long shutdowns along the pipeline run by Gasco, a subsidiary of the national gas company EGAS. Gasco said that it resumed pumping gas to households and Industrial factories in al-Arish and began experimental pumping to Jordan and Israel last week."As we noted last month,
"it looks more and more like a metaphor for relations between the two countries. Terrorists are blamed again, but it's clear that Egypt either won't or can't prevent this kind of thing from happening which means changes are inevitably on the way."

Walgreen to Shift Health Plan for 160,000 Workers
Drugstore Chain's Move Underscores Shifting Burden on Insurance
Rising health-care costs and a climate of change brought about by the new federal health law are prompting American corporations to revisit the pact they've long had with employees over medical benefits.
Walgreen Co. is set to become one of the largest employers yet to make sweeping changes to company-backed health programs. On Wednesday, the drugstore giant disclosed a plan to provide payments to eligible employees for the subsidized purchase of insurance starting in 2014. The plan will affect roughly 160,000 employees,...

BRISTOL — When Tropical Storm Irene slammed Vermont a year ago, Bristol wasn't as badly marred as some Vermont towns. But large sections of several major roads were wiped out, construction projects were taken back to phase one and several old structures were destroyed.
One year later, Bristol Administrator Bill Bryant said the town's infrastructure and finances are in good shape. He credited the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), among others, for aiding in the recovery.

Canberra Cavalry win ABL championship
Michael Wells blasted the deciding run out of the ballpark to earn the Canberra Cavalry the title of Australian Baseball League champions on Saturday night.
Canberra beat Perth Heat 7-6 in game two to ensure the Claxton Shield will reside in the ACT for the first time in the national title's 78-year history.
The top-seeded Cavalry swept the two-time reigning champion 2-0, having won the opening game of the final series 6-4.
Canberra first baseman Aaron Sloan was named MVP of the series, hitting .625 and scoring three runs on the weekend.
The home side used five pitchers on Saturday night, with Brodie Downs earning the win after pitching 1.1 innings of scoreless relief with one strikeout.
Sean Toler picked up the save for the Cavalry to record his second save of the series.
The Heat got on the board first as a result of wild pitching from Canberra's John Holdzkom and a two-run RBI single from Michael Ohlman.
The Cavalry were quick to return fire with a lead off home run from Kody Hightower to cut Perth's lead to one.
The Cavalry took advantage of a Perth error in the second to eventually score four runs on the inning and tacked on another in the third to hold a strong lead.
But Perth tied the game in the fifth and the score remained 6-6 until Wells hit a solo shot in the seventh to win in front of a sell-out and record-breaking crowd of 2,043 at Narrabundah Ballpark.

Clinton Team Lowers Drug Price Seven-Fold in Caribbean
On February 10, 2003, President William Jefferson Clinton gave the keynote speech at the 10th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Boston. As an example of the lack of systems in place dealing with AIDS, he noted that his team working in the Caribbean had in one week drastically lowered the price the Bahamas paid for drugs:
"The week after we started working in the Bahamas we found out that the government was buying, not from a big drug company, but from a generic source, but through an agent or two, AIDS drugs at $3,600 a year. Generically produced AIDS drugs at $3,600 a year. Our people on the ground there, said, 'This is nuts.' They went back and cut the deal directly with the manufacturer, and in one week they went from paying $3,600 a year to $500 a year per person, which means they're now serving more than seven times as many people for the same amount of money, and another 1,000 people will live because of it. That's the good news. It's a nice story, isn't it?
"It's horrible! Why does somebody have to drop in from another country to figure out how to save 1,000 lives with the money you're already spending? Why isn't somebody worldwide in charge of this? When the South African drug case was settled, it turned out to be largely a bust, because no one was put in charge of figuring out how many people needed the medicine in which countries, how much they could get it for, how much could they pay, and who would close the gap. There has never been a system to drive this. ... We know that, without systems, madness like this will happen. And since there are lots of countries that cannot afford the $3,600 a year, there are a lot of people that don't have medicine they would otherwise have. Nobody is in charge of this deal. No one is in charge.
"So we're going to do what we can to make sure, in the countries we touch, we give them a maximum chance to save more lives more quickly. I hope that we can make a difference. I believe we can tone up these systems very quickly, and move quickly from treating scores of people to treating thousands of people."
Other activists could not expect such quick results. Besides being a former president, Clinton's team had been invited to help with AIDS in the Caribbean, and had signed a memorandum of understanding with 15 governments there.
Today many people in poor countries still must pay several times as much for generic antiretrovirals on the private market as what the manufacturer sells them for. There is no rational economic reason for such a large price increase -- thousands of dollars per person per year to distribute a product that costs so little to transport and store. Clearly the problems differ in various countries and regions. Activists must look for ways to overcome particular barriers, while also working toward workable worldwide systems for distributing live-saving medicine.

Hart Island Press Tour
City Island, Hart Island, The Bronx. June, 2018.
Hart Island is an island controlled by the NYC Dept of Correction. It is used as a Potter's Field (mass grave site) for unknown and unclaimed bodies, and is off limits to the public. In Spring of 2018, I was a part of a media access tour, as a city councilman pressed for more public access to the island. As of now, private tours can access only a small gazebo just beyond the ferry landing, but no other part of the island. Once per month, the Dept of Correction allows family members of the deceased to visit the gravesites. Each gravesite is a single grave marker where 150 coffins are burried in a large trench.

We are very pleased with the quality of the product, how fast it was delivered, and once we opened the box we have no complaints or concerns. Sorry I am not able to provide pictures at this point."
"Product is used for its visual appeal and function. It heats up the space it was intended for and looks attractive.I framed the fireplace before it arrived and it fit perfectly. Installation was under an hour. Remote control is very intuitive. Excellent product."

"Have not installed it yet but it looks really pretty in the box. Hoping it works as good as it looks. Really fast shipping also!"

Everything is perfect,it went very well in our living room, everyone loved it and asked a lot of questions where it came from,so I told them. A wonderful fireplace!!! Thanks!
This fireplace came so fast and was so easy to install. I looked around for weeks locally and finally decided to order it and we absolutely love the final result.
Had this installed in a newly remodeled basement living area. It looks great and when run at about 66 degrees keeps a 400 sq ft area quite comfortable.
So beautiful! This has 6 different flame settings including both orange and blue flames, and the ability to set the temperature. The instructions were so easy I was able to build this entire frame for it to sit in (thanks to exact measurements provided!).
I love my Built-In Electric Fireplace purchase! Fits perfectly! Deluxe Home Store is the best with Quality and customer service!
I just received the fireplace a week ago and so far it works and looks great. Comes with a remote. Warms up a room fairly quickly. Overall great purchase
Arrived quickly and with no damage. The design fits what we were looking for and it was easy to install. Nicely done!
Couldn't be happier with this purchase! Looks great easy to install - we've already received a ton of compliments on it
My girlfriend's parents recently remodeled their house and she was looking for something easy for them to use instead of a wood burning fireplace. We couldn't be happier with our choice. It looks great in the newly remodeled living room and is extremely easy to use!!
The fireplace did a great job heating our new lounge space on the exterior of the home, and I received dozens of compliments from family members at our latest gathering. Great job Amantii!
Most of the time my wife is very hard to please...but this beautiful fireplace put a big smile on her face and she was VERY happy after I installed it in our the living room.
Everything about my Amantii fireplace has been amazing!!! Ever since I have install it, I've received nothing, but questions about where I got it and comments about how beautiful it is. Thank you so much for providing such a great product!!!
I love this fireplace. It is perfect on my bedroom wall right under the window. It is next to my bed so I use it every day. Keeps me warm during these cold winter days and evenings. Sometimes I keep it on half the night as well. Never had a problem with it and it really looks nice where it is.
This fireplace was purchased for my mother. And I have to admit that this a beautiful piece. It was recommended by the wife of a the contractor renovating my home. I am very pleased with my purchase and would happily recommend it.
It was so easy to install. I had a good frame left over from a old fireplace and the electric fireplace insert was perfect. It is so worth the money. It has great appeal in the flame. I give it a perfect 10.
Had to returned my 1st package something with the turning in off bottom. Blaming it on the installation process. Contacted customer service and they replaced it without any problem. Loving my new fireplace. Great customer service. 100% recommend.


text: After last week's news from PCMag that iOS ruled shopping this festive season. We knew it was time to source some additional expert knowledge on effectively monetizing your mobile site. We asked our friends at engage:BDR to share some of their top advice on effective ways to make your mobile site monetized.We all know that having an aesthetically pleasing, easy to use site is an important part of maintaining and growing an audience, which in turn can be used to monetize your content through strategic advertisements. However, this fails to factor in an important thing: your mobile presence. A staggering amount of Americans today spend as much, if not more, time browsing content and shopping for new items on their mobile devices. In fact, Lenovo, the world's top PC vendor, actually sells more smartphones and tablets than PCs. Because of this, it is becoming more and more important for publishers to be just as strategic about designing and monetizing their mobile presence.Once you have created a site that is easy to navigate on a mobile device, there are a few strategic things you can do to effectively monetize it. There are new technologies, which enable pixel-free domain, within content, native advertising strategies (ahem, you don't need to look far to find a great example of this). There are some other additional approaches we have found work well. Two of our favorites are:-Keep a banner on the actual page at all times, at either the top or bottom of the page. Have it refresh after 30 seconds with a new banner, so you can still monetize it while keeping the placement in a viewable spot. This creates a visual stimulus, which will slightly shift the reader's attention and help the performance of ads, which will keep your advertisers happy.-Use interstitials on long articles. This needn't be done on every click, but one or two per visit can be highly effective. These perform very well, and you can charge a price that reflects their performance.If you are interested in learning more or have more questions on any of the above, please leave a comment or contact us on, firstname.lastname@example.com:BDR provides results-driven marketing solutions, advanced technology and custom programming by integrating display, mobile and video advertising along with branded entertainment all in one place. engage:BDR offers premium, publisher direct full-service display and video ad networks as well as an RTB ecosystem, a licensable ad server, and video production.

Yesterday, Edie had her ballet recital.
She wasn't nervous. In fact, she was giddy. And unlike last year when David and I had to be recital helpers so one of us could always stay near her, something she demanded, this year we sat in the audience. And Edie went with her class. She sat with them through the whole show. She went backstage with them and her teacher. She walked onto the stage without us nearby in the wings.
When we checked on her at intermission, she smiled, waved, and then turned back around to talk to the little girl sitting next to her in the same identical billowy dress. Not one bit of her needed us. She was so this other girl, one I'm just starting to know - confident at her core, sure of who she is, unafraid, comfortable in a path she chose for herself.
I thought when this day came, I'd be sad. Maybe I'd feel like I lost something. But I'm just so unimaginably proud of her. These pictures are of Edie before her show, just moments after she put on the dress, and pointed her toes, and turned from girl to ballerina.

Source Elements has announced the release of Source-Connect, a new Pro Tools plug-in capable of streaming audio directly from one Pro Tools system to another. Source-Connect enables audio connections between Pro Tools systems anywhere in the world, allowing direct-to-timeline recording with real-time, broadcast-quality audio using only T1, Cable, or DSL internet connections.
Source-Connect eliminates the need for ISDN lines, additional hardware, subscription, fees and minute-by-minute line charges, according to Source Elements, enabling \high-quality connections between studios, voiceover talent, and musicians. Incorporating a high-quality AAC codec, Source-Connect requires a minimum upload and download bandwidth of 300Kbps and allows for communications at bit rates up to 160Kbps.
Unlike ISDN, which requires complex set-up and often, assistance from the machine room, Source-Connect appears right in the Pro Tools session. A selection from the user-defined contact list initiates a connection. Michael Coyle of Chicago Recording Company, after testing Source-Connect in his home and studio, remarked, "One surprising benefit of Source-Connect versus ISDN dialups is how fast you can connect and disconnect. It's nearly instantaneous."
Source-Connect is available for immediate download from www.source-elements.com and is priced at $1,495.00. Source Elements was founded by John Binder and Robert Marshall, two audio engineers who develop alternative solutions to the problematic complexities of everyday post-production.

Official: 7 U.N. peacekeepers killed in Sudan attack
CAIRO (AP) — Gunmen ambushed a United Nations peacekeeping team Saturday in Sudan's western region of Darfur, killing seven and wounding another 17 in the deadliest ever attack single attack on the international force in the country.
The assault included sustained heavy fire from machine guns and possibly rocket-propelled grenades, targeting the force some 25 kilometers (15 miles) west of the town of Khor Abeche, U.N. forces spokesman Chris Cycmanick said. Reinforcements later arrived to rescue the wounded, which included two female police advisers, the force said in a statement.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the assault. Cycmanick declined to give the nationalities of those killed and wounded in the attack.
Peacekeepers have been targeted by assailants in the past in the region since the international force began its work there in 2008. In the last attack, gunmen shot dead a Nigerian peacekeeper in April in East Darfur State.
The joint African Union-U.N. peacekeeping force, dubbed UNAMID, was established to protect civilians in Darfur, but also contributes to security for those providing humanitarian aid, verifying agreements, political reconciliation efforts and promoting human rights.
It has about 16,500 troops and military observers and over 5,000 international police. More than 300,000 people have been killed in the Darfur conflict since rebels took up arms against the Sudanese government nearly 10 years ago, accusing it of discrimination and neglect.
"The mission condemns in the strongest possible terms those responsible for this heinous attack on our peacekeepers," said Mohamed Ibn Chambas, a joint special representative of the force. "The perpetrators should be on notice that they will be pursued for this crime and gross violation of international humanitarian law."

Stricter and more reserved than the other two Langhe's. However this does open up very well after some aeration, showing velvety blueberry and cassis fruit with touches of rock salt and red cherry. The Nebbiolo reveals itself on the finish with strong overtones of sweet, floral strawberry fruit. A blend of Nebbiolo from Arborina and Barbera from Larigi aged for 18 months in new oak barriques.
Contains Sulphites.
Elio has done Piedmont wines a great service over the last two decades. Not only has the outstanding quality of his delightful 'La Morra' Barolo wines raised Piedmont's profile, but he has taken many younger growers, such as Marco Marengo, under his wing giving them advice and instilling confidence in them to make and bottle their own wines. Elio's production of modern style Burgundy-influenced Barolos is, alas, miniature, meaning many of the Cru Barolos sell out before they even reach our list. Always experimenting and looking to perfect his art, Elio makes some stunning wine outside of his strong Barolo portfolio, including the old vines single vineyard Larigi Barbera and the Barbera Nebbiolo blend, La Villa. As Elio steps ever closer to full retirement, his talented daughter Silvia is taking greater control of wine production. Their flagship wine, Barolo, undergoes a short fermentation of up to a week, followed by ageing in used oak barriques for 2 years, the same method applies to the Cru Barolos apart from are aged in anything up to 30% new oak. The langhe wines are all aged for a shorter time, 12-6 months, in 100% new oak. Despite these modern methods oak or alcohol are not at all the feature of these wines you'd expect. Rather they are packed with vivid character, offer silky textures and are some of the most intense wines Piedmont has to offer.
Piedmont sitting at the foot of the mountains is justly regarded as one of, if not the finest wine growing region in Italy. The noblest grape found in the region in undoubtedly Nebbiolo, with the DOCG's of Barolo and Barbaresco at the forefront of production. Barbera and Dolcetto come in second and third, and being earlier ripening are often found located on those sides of the hills that receive less sunshine. The wines from Piedmont are intrinsically food friendly wines, a fact understandable given the culinary strength of the area.
A relatively common blend found in Piedmont. The colour and sensual texture of Barbera, together with the class, structure and complexity of Nebbiolo makes for a wonderful marriage. A blend used to great effect by producers such as Paolo Scavino, Clerico and Elio Altare.

24December 21, 2006
A few of you have been curious about how all the new stuff works on this site. I'll likely write up some of the trickier bits in the new year (though given WDN planning, I'm not going to promise when in the new year).
In the meantime, Drew McLellan approached me near the end of November to write a little something for his web advent calendar, 24 Ways To Impress Your Friends. I thought by the time I got around to doing that, I'd have had this redesign launched, so it would be a perfect avenue to put out some details on what I'd done. Except Rachel Andrew kicked off the month with Faster Development with CSS Constants, which covered most of the ground I expected to. D'oh.
So instead I came at it from a different angle, and wrote up some of how I'm actually going about using photos to create fresh new palettes. Photographic Palettes is now up for your reading pleasure. Go forth, be merry, and impress your friends.

Two things I noted. That highway is some boring. The other pertains to the subject, he mentioned towing a 14,000 # fifth wheel with an F-250 to get under the 26,000 lb maximum for a class C and stay legal. Trouble is, now the maximum payload on the truck is exceeded. Is the state not concerned with that? The insurance company sure would be in the event of a wreck.

Reckless Driving; OffenseA person commits an offense if the person drives a vehicle in wilful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.
[ but in most states non-commercial vehicles are not subject to legal GVWR limits.]You're wrong with this statement Gary. Every vehicle is subject to the GVWR limits of the state, not just commercial vehicles. There are many people driving these rigs illegal, and don't even know it. Normal driver licence in Illinois is only good for 16,000 lbs. anything over that you need a different class licence. I got a larger coach this year and didn't give it a second thought until I had it weighed to set the tire pressure correctly, and realized just how heavy it was. I always heard that anyone could drive a RV with just a regular drivers licence, NOT TRUE, if it's over 16,000 in Illinois. I just took the class B non CDL test a couple months ago.
Charlie, he's talking about the vehicle, not the driver. You're speaking of the driver's license, which has different requirements in different states. In Colorado, for example, I don't need anything other than a regular drivers license to legally drive a 45 foot, 50,000 lb. coach. In other states, anything over 26,000 lbs. needs some other license. But none of the affect the legality of the vehicle itself.
I know in the last couple of years the State Police have been stopping many drag racers with MH pulling enclosed trailers looking for infractions. I know one guy personally that was stopped and his rig impounded because he did NOT have the correct licence. He had his trailer lettered and the cop said he needed a CDL to drive the rig, because it was a commercial rig. The guy went to court, and lost ! He had to either remove the lettering or get a CDL to drive it.
You're back to the driver's license, not the VEHICLE legality for someone who DOES have the correct DRIVER'S license.This is a driver's license infraction, not a vehicle infraction.I'm done...
Good thing you're DONE, because this thread is about having the correct drivers licence for proper operation.
Came across this while surfing and thought members from Texas may be interested if you tow a large fifth wheel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UBGRpuIMEI
Everytime I read about some of the stupid laws in IL, it makes me proud to say that I am a "former resident"! I've been gone from there since 2006 and I don't miss it even one little bit. I remember the totally stupid law that was on the books there for years and years. If you were pulling a trailer, the speed limit for you was 55 mph. It didn't matter if it was a semi truck or a 5' x 8' flat bed trailer.....55 was your max on the Interstate.....which at that time was 65 mph for everyone else, not 70! If it weren't for family and friends living there, I'd never cross the line into IL again.
I find this interesting. I was a Drivers License Examiner for the State of North Dakota for 10 years, retired in 2003. We did written and road exams for car, CDL , truck and bus and motorcycle. The figure of 26,000 lbs is, or at least was when I was active, the key number for determining CDL licensing. For buses additionally it had to be a 15 or more passenger capacity (lots of large vans qualified). What interests me about the Texas requirement is how is the road test performed. For a normal CDL truck or bus, you must do a pre-trip inspection of the vehicle (many failed on this), a backing test and the actual road test. Putting a 5ver through a similar road test procedure would be sort of ridiculous because of the differences in vehicles. We did not do any personal recreational vehicles but we did test commercial buses, city buses (including doubles) and a motorhome that was equipped as a mobile xray unit. Has anybody ever taken the Texas road test for a Class A 5ver and, if so, could you give me some of the things required. Thanks.Bill
