What were the important principles of Roman law?
2 Answers | Add Yours
Roman law is a huge topic. In other words, there are too many important laws/principles to mention. In light of this, let me give you a sample of some of the most important principles.
First, the Twelve Tables, Rome's earliest laws were made public to give parity to all people. Before this time, only the elite of Rome knew the law. This situation obviously favored the aristocracy. The publishing of the Twelve Tables, therefore, was a watershed moment.
Second, the Licinian Sextian Acts of 367 put an end to the struggle of the orders. This law allowed all classes of people to run for office and hold Rome's highest office. This fact helped to create equality.
Another important principle of Roman law is that it took its shape from various sources. For example, according to Cicero, equity, custom, decided cases, legislation of assemblies, resolutions of the senate, edict of magistrates, and the decision of the jurists can be sources of law.
Finally, Roman law used social pressure to uphold the importance of law and order. In other words, it was the job of the pursuer to get the defendant to court and in a shame based society it is believed that the defender would come, even if he was more powerful to protect his reputation. If this did not work, the Praetor could treat the defendant as in hiding and sell as his property
The most important principle of Roman law was that it should be written and transparent. That is, everyone should know what the law was and the law should not simply change based on the whim of a ruler or judge. This idea of the rule of law was the basis of all Roman law.
Another major principle of Roman law was that it should apply to all aspects of life. There would be laws about criminal acts and laws about contracts and laws about family life.
A third principle was that both government and tradition should be sources of law. There were laws (jus scriptum) that were written and tended to come from governmental sources. But there were also unwritten laws that had come from tradition and precedent. These were called "jus non scriptum" and were similar to the later English tradition of the common law.

Christianity and Gay Marriage
The debate around Same-sex marriage has become one of the most complex in contemporary Christianity, primarily because it involves so many issues: human sexuality, science's relation to Christianity, civil rights, Biblical interpretation, and the role of Scripture when establishing Church theology.
Instead of discussing same-sex parenting, this piece will focus only on marriage, as both topics would be too much to cover at the same time. It should be noted that the arguments against same-sex parenting fail when confronted with sound research showing children raised in same-sex partnerships fare just as well as in households with heterosexual parents¹.
Is being gay a Choice?
Although the origin of a person's sexual orientation is still unknown, scientific research points to genetics, hormones and other biological influences, and most likely, a combination of these. The fact that there are numerous gay individuals from stable families who never experienced sexual trauma – and that there are numerous straight people who are from broken homes or were sexually abused yet remain heterosexual proves that, while these types of environmental influences may be a factor for some, it is certainly not a factor for all. Whatever the cause of one's sexuality is, the outcome is clear: Being gay is not a choice.
This is a crucial argument in support of gay rights including the right to marry, and is even important to understand when interpreting Bible verses about "unnatural" sexual urges. Being gay is natural for a gay person. Some heterosexuals may engage in same-sex sexual activity voluntarily, such as when young people experiment with each other. Others may engage in same-sex activities due to constraints of a situation, as is the case with prison inmates. Participating in these types of actions is not the same as being gay. Sexual identity and sexual behavior are two different things. Having a natural attraction to a person of the same sex is what constitutes someone being gay.
While child molesters often pray on young members of their sex, this is a sexual behavior. Despite the appalling claims linking pedophilia to homosexuality by some anti-gay groups citing disreputable sources and faulty research, valid studies have shown gay men are no more likely to be sexually attracted to children than straight men.2 No mentally stable gay man or woman would support any form of pedophilia anymore than a mentally stable heterosexual would. The implication that there is a link between supporting gay rights and condoning pedophilia is despicable, and shows the level that some will sink to in an effort to slander the gay community.
Takeaway point: Being gay is not a choice.
Procreation and marriage
While procreation is a part of marriage for many couples, it is not a mandatory qualification for a marriage to exist. No religion requires married couples to have children. Couples who are infertile due to biology or age are married frequently, and some couples choose to adopt or remain married without children. There have been countless marriages throughout history that produced no children, yet were acknowledged by Churches and governments. Ironically, some of the most public opponents of gay marriage are themselves in marriages that have not produced children.
The argument that "Heterosexual marriages that don't produce children are superior to gay marriages because heterosexuals in general are capable of producing children" is no more valid an argument than a telling credit card company "Don't charge me a late fee for missing the bill's due date because I did had the money in the bank." If someone is saying marriages are solely for procreation, then a marriage either does produce children or it is not a valid marriage.
Takeaway point: No Church or government has ever made procreation a requirement for marriage.
The Biblical Definition of Marriage
The idea of today's Christians upholding the "Biblical Definition of Marriage" is almost absurd when one looks at the history of marriage in Scripture. Biblical marriages included polygamy (numerous accounts), assigning slave marriages (Exodus 21:4), prisoners of war (Numbers 31:1-18, Deut. 21:11-14), rapists and their victims (Deut. 22:28–29), and other combinations that would hardly pass muster with today's Christians. These examples of Biblical marriages are not invalidated by the New Covenant or forbidden in the New Testament despite occurrences in the Old Testament.
Takeaway point: The examples of marriages in the Bible do not resemble marriages today.
The evolution of marriage
Marriage has continued to evolve since early Biblical times. For over 1000 years marriage was primarily a legal contract throughout most of Europe. It was not even sanctified in the Church as a Sacrament until The Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, and the Anglican Church did not require a priest to officiate marriages until 1753. Because marriage was a legal contract focusing on transfers of property, which included women and children, prior to 1215 marriages were just as much, if not more, about one's finances than love. Individuals were frequently married against their will to fulfill contractual exchanges.
Contrary to Chief Justice John Robert's statement in his Obergefell v. Hodges dissent that gay marriage has never existed before, the fact remains that there are documented instances of marriages between people of the same sex in Medieval Christian Europe. Although some of these relationships are assumed to have had a romantic basis, others were about financial matters. Regardless of motivation, the fact that these were marriages is well documented. Other examples of same-sex marriage, and those of a clearer romantic nature appear in ancient Greece and Rome, ancient Mesopotamia, ancient China and some early Native Americans tribes.
Takeaway point: The definition of marriage has changed over time, and has even included same-sex marriages in the past.
"The Bible says..."
A favorite rallying cry of many Christian gay marriage opponents is Matthew 19:4-5 "…at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'…" It is true that the majority of couples in the world are heterosexual, and heterosexual procreation is how every human is conceived through the natural method. One must note that the verse does not say "every man will...," the verse says "a man will..." There are many people in this world who choose to remain single or live a celibate life, and no one is condemning them for not "uniting" with a spouse. Ironically, celibate priests often quote this verse to condemn gay marriage. More importantly, lines 4-5 in Matthew 19 are only part of a larger section where Christ is actually condemning divorce, not same-sex marriage. This is only one of many instances where the Bible prohibits divorce and remarriage3.
Churches opposing gay marriage cite Scripture as justification, yet most of them allow divorce and remarriage which are prohibited several times in the Bible3. When a Church or individual uses Bible verses to condemn gay marriage while making allowances for divorce and remarriage, it is not only hypocritical, it invalidates their claim of following Biblical standards for marriage.
Biblically speaking, a Roman Catholic annulment is no different than a divorce. Provisions for annulments are never mentioned in Scripture, and is clear that separating a marriage is forbidden: "What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate" (Matthew 19:6, Mark 10:9)
Divorce is an unfortunate, yet necessary part of society. If a marriage is no longer functional, a couple should be allowed to separate. No logical person would argue that any person should have to remain married to an abusive spouse or violent criminal, yet there are no Biblical allowances for divorce in these types of circumstances. If taken literally, some Biblical standards would be detrimental to society... and others would prove unrealistic to uphold.
Does merely looking at a woman with desire constitute adultery? Matthew 5:27-28 "… anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Do all wealthy people go to Hell? Mark 10:25 "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." These are only a couple of the many problematic verses in the Bible. Most people would agree that these verses should not be taken at face value. And yet, those opposing gay rights want us to take at face value the seven Bible verses that mention homosexuality, where what is being addressed are cultural practices and ritual acts from over 2000 years ago -- and are from a completely different society which held an underdeveloped understanding of human sexuality.
This leads us to two crucial questions: How do we to read Scripture properly, and what is the role of the Bible in developing a Church's theology?
Takeaway point: Permitting divorce and remarriage, yet condemning gay marriage on Biblical grounds is hypocritical and clearly invalidates claims of upholding the "Biblical marriage commandments." Biblically speaking, Roman Catholic annulments are no different than divorces.
Scripture and theology
To fully comprehend Scripture's meaning it is necessary to use context and interpretation when reading the Bible, just as a historian or archaeologist would use context and interpretation in conjunction with their findings to discover the truth of the past. One then takes Scripture's meaning and uses reason with inspiration to arrive at a theological decision, just as a judge in a courtroom would use realizations from evidence alongside reason to arrive at a verdict.
This practice was common knowledge in the original Church, and is still used today by the Catholic Churches, Anglican Churches, and other denominations. This is why, for example, these Churches can affirm evolution despite the creation accounts found in Genesis, and most Christians today are permitted by their Churches to do things prohibited in Scripture like eat pork and shellfish, wear gold or pearls, braid their hair, allow a woman to speak in a church, obtain a divorce/annulment, get remarried, etc. This is also how the churches that now support gay marriage (Episcopal, Lutheran ELCA, Presbyterian, etc.) arrived at their theological decisions to support same-sex marriages.
Takeaway points: From the beginnings of Christianity, Scripture has been interpreted to discover the actual meaning. Reason and inspiration are used in conjunction with Scripture to set doctrine.
Scripture and theology: Fundamentalists and Evangelicals
Developed in the 16th Century, Sola Scriptura is the idea that a Church's theology should be based completely on scripture alone. In the 20th century, American Fundamentalists took this concept a step further than its original intent and added the concept of Biblical Inerrancy... the belief that the Bible "is without error or fault in all its teaching."
The simplicity of the American Fundamentalists' message, along with aggressive proselytizing have convinced millions of people that this is the only way to practice Christianity, despite the fact that Biblical Inerrancy was never a part of Christianity for the majority of the Faith's existence. This idea of taking the Bible literally was not a view held by the very people who assembled the Bible, nor is it directly mentioned in the Bible itself... the very source that, through a literal reading, they place complete authority in.
Discrepancies between the doctrines of various Churches that adhere to a Biblical Inerrancy belief prove that finding a single truth from the literal reading of Scripture is futile. If there were a single, inherent truth from a literal reading of the Bible, these Churches' doctrines and teachings would all be consistent with one another -- yet their beliefs differ.
Problems arising from Fundamentalist views do not end with issues surrounding human sexuality; teaching Creationism in lieu of science, denying medical treatment for children, deaths from refusing blood transfusions, killing in the name of religion... these are only symptoms of a problem where an interpretation of religion is in conflict with reality. People of any faith are not exempt from secular truths, and that holds true for all religions.
The Fundamentalist practice of quoting Bible verses that on the surface condemn homosexuality is not an accurate representation of the Bible's true message. The seven "clobber verses" used against homosexuality have specific contexts (pagan ritual acts, Roman sexual practices, etc.) which place them in a different category than today's gay relationships, much less same-sex marriage. Most importantly, they go against the overall message of Jesus Christ which is to love God, love your neighbor, and to "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." A person following Christ's most important commandments cannot enjoy the companionship and joys of marriage themselves, yet demand gay people live a celibate and lonely life.
It should be noted that there is growing support even among Evangelical Christians who support gay marriage using solid Biblically based, Biblically-based arguments.
Takeaway points: Reading the Bible literally (Biblical Inerrancy) was only formalized in 20th century America. Conflicts between doctrines of Churches professing a literal adherence to scripture prove that interpretation of the Bible is inevitable. One cannot pull Bible verses to condemn things without looking at the context of those verses and the overall message of Scripture.
The Roman Catholic Church
With over 1 billion members and a 2000-year history, the Roman Catholic Church is a complex organization. Given its size and age one can understand how it has developed its hierarchy, complex bureaucracy, and reliance on doctrine and dogma. Yet it cannot be denied that the world we live in and society today are vastly different then they were in 500 A.D., or even 1500 A.D.
The total dependence on "Mother Church" required of lay people was a primary factor in the 16th century Protestant reformation, and is still one of the key criticisms of the Roman Catholic Church today. This reliance is not only found in practices like confession, through which a Catholic can only receive absolution via a priest, but a lay person's very beliefs are shaped by the Church's leadership through doctrine and dogma.
The history of the Papacy and Church leadership is riddled with abuses, scandals, and atrocities ranging from indulgences, to the Inquisition, to the current day sexual abuse cover-ups. This is not brought up to degrade the Roman Catholic Church, but to point out the human fallibility in Church leaders who make decisions, set doctrine and dogma, and are the supposed sole "conduits" of God's grace for all Roman Catholics.
Rigid and unchanging, doctrine and dogma reflect the limitations of human knowledge from a specific time. The persecution and silencing of Galileo, the Inquisition, the history of Indulgences, the refusal to allow female clergy, their continued prohibition of birth control, and the ban on using condoms in HIV stricken parts of the world… the Church's crippling bureaucracy and adherence to doctrine and dogma set by humans is a hindrance to progress for the Roman Catholic Faith that puts the Church's hierarchy at odds with the world around them, including their own laity. With statistics showing that 82% of American Catholics support birth control, 57% support gay marriage, 59% support women in the priesthood, and 61% support a priest's ability to marry, the Roman Catholic leadership is deeply out of touch with its own members and the rest of the contemporary world.
Takeaway point: The Roman Catholic Church's leadership that sets doctrine and dogma has a long history of being out of touch with the world around it, from Galileo, to their stance on birth control and condoms, to celibate priests.
The Christian "Yes" to gay marriage
Faulty arguments against same-sex marriage aside, what is the Christian case for same-sex marriage? There is no direct scriptural support for gay marriage, just as there is no Bible verse explicitly supporting interracial or interfaith marriages. It will surprise most people to know that there is no direct scriptural support for clergy performing legal marriages at all! The Trinity, certain Sacraments, Apostolic Succession, the Papacy, and Biblical Inerrancy are all Christian beliefs never directly mentioned in the Bible. Once again, we are reminded that one must look beyond a literal reading of Scripture to discover the answer.
Christ was someone who questioned the rigid thinking of His time. His central message was for us to love God and love one another. Christ repeatedly taught the importance of love, and how it is paramount.
We know that being gay is not a choice. If we believe that God made humans in His image, then gay people are children of God as He wanted them to be, and they are not mistakes. We are then left with this question: How are gay people to live in this world?
The common answer from many Churches is that gays are to remain celibate. This decree of mandatory celibacy is oppressive, illogical, and often ineffective when forced upon someone... sometimes producing tragic results.
Most people desire a companion, both emotionally and physically. Marriage is about creating the ultimate form of a loving companionship through a committed relationship, it is not about gender. Galatians 3:28 reminds us "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." We are not just our gender... we are all human beings, equal in God's eyes, and worthy of His gifts including the joy of marriage. Marriage's benefit to society comes from the stabilizing power of a commitment built on love, not the gender of the couple. If a couple has been together for 40, 50, or 60 years, the couple's gender makeup does not make or negate the power of that bond.
Marriage has evolved over time to turn the focus away from an exchange of property and make love the driving force. It evolved to include a woman's equality in marriage despite Bible verses stating otherwise. Churches have changed doctrine and theology repeatedly throughout history4 including positions on divorce, because as the world and the Churches evolved it became clear that the original positions were outdated, illogical, or detrimental to society. Today, more and more Churches are saying "yes" to gay marriages and acknowledging the fact that same-sex marriage will only help the institution of marriage by producing a culture that fully celebrates committed relationships, where gay couples are a part of society and the social fabric – not outcasts.
Takeaway points: Gays are created as God wished them to be. They are not going to disappear, live lonely and celibate lives, or convert to heterosexuality. How are they to live? A gay couple in a loving, committed relationship will only benefit society and the institution of marriage.
Christians and gay marriage
Marriage equality continues to grow in Churches around the country. The Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church, Lutheran Church (ELCA), and United Church of Christ (among others) have arrived at theological decisions supporting gay marriages and are celebrating them in their houses of worship. American Conservative Judaism, Reform Judaism, and Reconstructionist Judaism also now permit gay marriages. National polls from 2015 show that 63% of Americans support gay marriage. More religiously affiliated Americans affirm the right for gay couples to marry than oppose, with 47% supporting gay marriage and 45% against it. Christian support continues to grow including 57% of Catholics, 56% of orthodox Christians, 62% of white mainline Protestants, and even 43% of Evangelicals age 18-34 support it.
What is especially heartening is the rate at which acceptance of gay marriage has grown in recent years. This is undoubtedly due to more and more people seeing their family members, friends, and coworkers in loving gay relationships... and now in marriages. The fact that gay marriage has had no negative effect on society, but extremely positive benefits for gay couples, their family and friends, solidifies the case for gay marriage.
Takeaway points: Several Churches now celebrate gay marriages. Gay marriages have been legal for years around the world with no negative consequences, only positive benefits.

2 Article followed by study:
3 There are only two Biblical allowances for divorce: adultery, or one spouses being a non-believer. Even these exceptions are contested by some Fundamentalists. Remarriage is forbidden for the spouse who committed adultery, and no allowance for remarriage is mentioned for someone who divorces a non-believer.
4 The Roman Catholic Church states they have never changed their doctrine, which is simply not true. They have changed doctrine regarding slavery, usury, the Earth/Sun debate, the Biblical flood, monarchy/democracy, religious liberty, and marriage, among other issues. This is in addition to teachings on matters like evolution, astronomy, and even worship practices. To refute this fact, the Church uses terms like "developing doctrine" instead of "changing" and has shifted what is and is not actually doctrine. Their doctrine can and has changed (or "developed") to reflect an updated interpretation of Scripture.

Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
All Choked Up
Most people have a pretty positive association with blowing out candles: it's what we do on our birthdays before chowing down on some delicious cake.
Well, sorry to put a damper on your b-day traditions, but in Othello blowing out candles is synonymous with strangling your wife to death.
The candle that Othello blows out just before he puts a choke-hold on Desdemona symbolizes Desdemona's fragile life. Othello draws the comparison himself—as he stands over a sleeping Desdemona with a lit candle in his hand, he says he's going to "Put out the light, and then put out the light" (5.2.7): he's going to blow out the candle (the first light) and then strangle Desdemona (the second light).
He also muses that the difference between Desdemona's life and a candle's light is that he can put out and relight the candle over and over if he so chooses, but he can kill Desdemona only once:
"If I quench thee, thou flaming minister, / I can again thy former light restore, / should I repent me," he says to the candle. "But," he says to the sleeping Desdemona, "once put out thy light, / Thou cunning'st pattern of excelling nature, / I know not where is that Promethean heat / That can thy light relume" (5.2.8-13).
Yep, that's pretty creepy.

First of all, thanks for all the help so far. I'm really impressed by these forums as a resource!
I'm using the raindrops theme. I have created a custom menu that lists the pages I want on the site. It appears as the main left sidebar. I also have a navigation bar with the same pages that runs horizontally.
I have a static main page - and in the top left there is a menu (not sure what to call it) that says "Pages". When I hover the mouse over it, it lists the pages of the site in a really ugly format - cutting them off.
Even if it displayed them nicely, I wouldn't want it (since I have 2 perfectly good page lists for navigation). I want to remove it. I've spent the better part of an hour shuffling widgets around, deleting pages, re-creating them, etc. But it won't go away.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of it?

A week after this blog EXCLUSIVELY revealed that Sean Kelly was backing Alberto Contador over Chris Froome for Tour de France glory, Blazin' Saddles can now bring you another EXCLUSIVE titbit: namely, that Kelly's compatriot and fellow Eurosport pundit Stephen Roche thinks exactly the same thing.
Speaking to Saddles after the first stage of the 2013 Hot Chillee London to Paris event in a motorway service station car park in Folkstone, south east England, Roche said that Spanish two-time Tour winner Contador would be "the man to watch" when the Tour gets under way, probably not in a motorway service station, in Porto-Vecchio, south east Corsica.
Hot Chillee ambassador Roche made his brave claim hours after the Sky team of Froome confirmed their nine-man army to take on Contador's strong Saxo-Tinkoff outfit over the roads of Metropolitan France this summer for the 100th edition of the Tour.
"Saxo Bank's squad is very strong," said Roche, whose son, 28-year-old Nicholas, will make his first Grand Tour appearance for Bjarne Riis's team since making the switch from Ag2R-La Mondiale last winter.
"Sky's team is also very strong. There's not much separating them. Both [Roman] Kreuziger and [Richie] Porte would be team leaders elsewhere.
"But I feel Contador has the edge over Froome. He's done it all before and will come to the Tour in the best condition," Roche said before boarding a coach destined for France via the Eurostar sub-sea high-speed train.
Interestingly, Roche – like Kelly – seemed to have endorsed Contador's bid for a third Tour victory having previously publicly backed Froome for glory.
On the eve of the 10th anniversary edition of the London to Paris – which Roche rides this week for the sixth consecutive year – the Irish legend told Press Association Sport that he had "no doubt" that "Froome can cope with anything that's thrown at him".
But a day can make a lot of difference.
First up, Saxo-Tinkoff named their squad for the Tour, which sees Contador supported by his faithful Spanish climbing lieutenants Benjamin Noval and Jesus Hernandez, Australian veteran Michael Rogers – who so ably supported Bradley Wiggins in his successful podium bid last year – Italians Matteo Tosatto and Daniele Bennati – key engines for the TTT in Nice – as well as Portugal's Sergio Paulinho, Czech all-rounder Roman Kreuziger and, of course, Roche junior, Nicholas.
Secondly, Stephen had had an undulating 168km from London to Folkstone during which to reassess his predictions ahead of the Tour. And there's nothing like wet potholed roads in Kent, the garden of England, to make you switch allegiances from an in-form Kenyan-born talent to a Spaniard who's done it all before.
Quizzed about his son's prospects, the 1987 triple crown winner said that 2013 would present fresh challenges for the man who finished last year's Tour with a career best 12th place.
"Nicholas will have a totally different role this year," Roche told Saddles moments after your faithful cycling scribe finished the opening stage of the London to Paris event without causing too many Roberto Ferrari-style pile-ups.
"He will be riding in support of Alberto but you never know – he may get a chance to go for a stage win. It all depends on the circumstances of the race."
One rider whom Roche has tipped to make quite an impact is his nephew Dan Martin, the 26-year-old Liege-Bastogne-Liege and Volta a Catalunya winner.
Martin finished 35th in a testing crash-strewn debut in last year's Tour but his success this season – plus Garmin-Sharp's lack of an out-and-out GC contender – will give the Irish talent a chance to shine. Roche Sr's sister, however, must beware of her son's appetite for blood.
"Dan will have more of a free role than Nicholas during the race. He'll attack and he'll definitely win a stage," said Roche.
"Nothing holds Dan back, the way he rides. He'd kill his own mother to be in the break."
In hindsight, Saddles probably should have led this blog with news that Stephen Roche was tipping his nephew to slay his mother over the roads of France.
Sensationalist headlines such as 'Martin to kill mother during Tour, says former Tour-winning uncle' or 'Roche tips Martin for matricide and stage win' would perhaps have generated more hits than another Contador vs Froome jolly.
But Saddles knows a joke (not to mention an old expression) when he hears one and it would have been grossly misrepresentative to misquote a former cycling legend in a cynical ploy to generate interest and get some re-tweets. Besides, Saddles has been promised a further interview with Roche – and you readers would much prefer to read that next week than another regular Tour preview, surely?
Leaving it at that, Roche and Saddles parted company: Roche onwards to France with 400 other riders for Friday's scenic second stage of London to Paris, from Calais to Amiens; and Saddles aboard a bus back to the Big Smoke for the 20-odd people (including ITV's Ned Boulting – sadly absent from the bus, mind) who could only hack one day in the saddle.
Organised by Hot Chillee – the media, marketing and events company behind Alpine Challenge and Cape Rouleur – the London to Paris has fast become one of the world's top sporting participation events. The waiting list is as long as Pierrick Fedrigo's nose – and Saddles was honoured to get one of the few press invites to join the likes of Roche and 1988 world champion Maurizio Fondriest on the road.
Needless to say, for Saddles, the required "months of hard training, dedication and commitment" came down to a daily commute on a single speed across London to Putney during coverage of the Giro d'Italia.
But his recent cameo in the Time Megeve sportive in the French Alps served BS well over some of the stage's short and snappy climbs, which were all carried out – in a display of bring-it-on bravura – in the big ring. Next year, BS may ride all the way to Paris in one of the top groups as opposed to taking it easy at an average speed of 27kmh in the fourth of six ranked groups.
On the bus home, there was time to read up on Eurosport and ruminate upon Sky's confirmed team selection. Eight of the nine riders recently rode together in the Dauphine, with the team only containing four riders from last year's victorious Tour team.
Britons Ian Stannard and Peter Kennaugh make Tour debuts in the Sky engine room; Geraint Thomas and Edvald Boasson Hagen may have chances of their own to nab a stage; Belarussian duo Kanstantin Siutou and Vasil Kiryienka are there for tireless hard graft; Spaniard David Lopez will be ever present at the start of the big climbs; while Australian Richie Porte, second in the Dauphine, will play the Froome role, so to speak, as close friend Froome's chief lieutenant.
It's a nice mix of youth, experience and flair. Wiggins's absence may make it a more cohesive unit but his power and experience will be missed. Also, the defection of Rogers to arch-rivals Saxo Bank may sway the balance in the favour of Contador's team.
So, perhaps Sean and Stephen are right after all: despite all the hype, Contador – and not Froome – could well be the most likely candidate to stand atop the podium in Paris in four weeks' time.
One thing is certain: with Wiggo absent and Contador present, the race will be a darn lot more exciting than in 2012. Especially with Dan Martin chomping at the bit. Just keep him away from his mother, Roche's sister...

A black character will soon strap on the star-emblazoned shield and step into the red, white and blue uniform of Captain America in the pages of Marvel Comics.
The character of Captain America first appeared in 1941, as a super soldier fighting the Nazis. He was revived by Marvel in the 1960s and became an icon among Marvel's lineup of heroes.
- Superhero shakeups: Check out a photo gallery of re-imagined classic characters above
- Black Captain America sparks race debate
The change in characters was announced on the publisher's official website on Wednesday. It is built around the retirement of Captain America's original alter ego, Steve Rogers, who finds he has lost the extraordinary strength and agility he had once gained from injections of performance-enhancing "super soldier serum."
- The Goddess of Thunder: Marvel Comics unveils new female Thor
- CBC's comic book expert Eli Glasner reacts to Marvel's newest character
Rogers will hand the Captain America persona to his much younger friend and cohort, the character Sam Wilson, already a comic book star in his own right as the true identity behind the winged superhero known as Falcon.
A three-page explanation of the transformation was posted under the headline: "It's time for an all-new Captain America."
It was authored by Marvel writer-artist Rick Remender and editor Tom Brevoort, part of the creative team involved in the publisher's re-launch of several of its popular heroes.
The Captain America update also was unveiled by Marvel Comics' chief creative officer, Joe Quesada, during a Wednesday night TV appearance on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report.
It came one day after Marvel's announcement that another founding member of its Avengers superhero team, the hammer-wielding Norse god Thor, would be reintroduced as a woman.
For now, the changes in both characters - Thor and Captain America - will be limited to the pages of Marvel comic books. Chris Hemsworth will continue to play a male Thor, and Chris Evans a white Captain America, in Marvel's feature films.
When Sam Wilson suits up as Captain America this fall, the character will undergo more than a mere racial transformation.
Wilson will don a modified version of the familiar Captain America costume and keep Cap's trademark circular shield, according to Remender and Brevoort. But he will retain a key vestige of his old Falcon persona - retractable wings that give him the power of flight.
As for the old Cap, Steve Rogers will stick around to serve as a strategic advisor to his successor, Marvel said.

Kessler is Expecting a Very Physical War With Froch
Mikkel Kessler has promised "pure action and adrenaline" when he renews his brutal rivalry with Carl Froch at London's O2 Arena on May 25.
The world super-middleweight champions - Kessler holds the WBA belt, Froch the IBF - will collide in one of the year's most eagerly-awaited fights after sharing 12 brutal rounds in April 2010.
Kessler, from Denmark, edged an unanimous points decision on home soil on that occasion and has agreed to travel to London for a rematch that he predicts will underline his superiority over Froch.
"Just look at the fan interest and how fast the tickets have been selling," said Kessler, in reference to the sell out at the O2 Arena after 15,000 tickets were bought on the first day of sale.
"The fans really want to see us go at it again because they know it will be a war.
"No holding, no head-butting, no clinching. Just two warriors going at it from the first bell until the very end. It will be pure action and adrenaline.
"Carl came to my country, now I am coming to his country. I owe him that. I have fought and travelled all over the world, so I look forward to facing Carl in his backyard.
"On May 25 two true champions will clash. And I will be the winner again."
The rivals came face to face in Copenhagen on day two of their media tour with Froch adamant that Kessler will be his 31st victim.
"It's going to be a toe-to-toe fight, it will be vicious and brutal. This is a fight that could go either way, but I know that I will win. He beat me the first time, no excuses, but May 25 will be different," Froch said.
"I will throw punches at him from the first bell and honestly I think that will be too much for him to handle.
"I know that he will not grab or hold but fight fire with fire and come right back at me, so the fans will be in for a real treat.
"We had a good two-day press tour, the interest is huge in the UK and in Denmark and that is what boxing at the top level is all about."
Respect to both of them and may the best man win. I am going with Kessler but the fight is in the UK so if it goes 12, Froch will be getting the decision regardless so Kessler has to do…Comment by IronDanHamza on 02-07-2013

Skip to comments.Ohio Man Exonerated of Murder After 13 Years in Prison Wins $13.2M
Posted on 03/11/2013 1:39:04 PM PDT by nickcarraway
An Ohio man who was exonerated after spending 13 years in prison for murder cried as a federal jury found that two Cleveland police detectives violated his civil rights by coercing and falsifying testimony and withholding evidence that pointed to his innocence.
The jury's verdict on Friday, which included awarding $13.2 million to David Ayers of Cleveland for his pain and suffering, brings an end to the legal battle he's been fighting since his arrest in the 1999 killing of 76-year-old Dorothy Brown.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
The monetary award is justified and the officers who gave false testimony should be required to serve the rest of his sentence.........
Shame on the cops, but I feel sorry for the taxpayers who will be paying for this instead of legitimate costs...
and just how much do the Attorneys take?? and how much in taxes does he have to pay??
In the end just what DOES HE REALLY END UP WITH ????
Anyone who has had the misfortune of getting tangled up in the legal system will tell you that cops lie, prosecutors could give a flip about what the truth is and our legal system does nothing but perpetuate lawyers and their money making scams.
Thing is, they have unlimited sources of money to carry out their deeds, American Joe doesn't. Hence multiple charges and plea bargains.
Ask George Zimmerman.
How about some sympathy for the victim who spent thirteen years jailed for something he didn't do?
The cops who sent him there should go to jail for an equal amount of time.
Thank you. Yes, it is tragic about the innocent victim beiing incarcerated for 13 years, but it is criminal about those who acted corruptly to put him there. They should have to answer to charges, or at least, have to go bankrupt trying to pay the state back for the award to the exonerated man.
I believe in the death penalty, but I would never vote for a death penalty solely on evidence produced by the Houston Crime Lab.
The same Judge who overturned this conviction had the opportunity and the authority to find both police officer in contempt and have them confined immediately.
The murder didn't happen, or if it did, the culprit will remain unknown. Justice prevails!
I left the DAs office after 13 months because I routinely dismissed cases based on checking the box "other" and citing 2nd Amendment.
I also demanded that I be convinced that the law was constitutional and was being appropriately applied.
My supervisors were always writing me up and giving reprimands.
I wished I hadn't thrown them away but instead framed them (not a pun).
Now I am a defense attorney and truly the defense bar as a whole is more conservative than most prosecutors.
Having worked in two Texas city attorney offices, I had the opportunity to see the police at work. They routinely lied to cover their rears, to support their arrests. In Houston, the throw-down gun was common.
The Supreme Court also kicked God out of schools and blesses sodomy, abortion, no-knock police searches, property seizure for private economic development, etc.
Our problem is with the politicians and their judicial appointments, not the cops.
the lying officers and prosecutor serving the remainder of his sentence is justice with a big J better yet they can go to prison for the amount of time this guy was given in the first place.....
The State of Ohio has a law to guide this and according to what I'm reading the gentleman who was wrongfully imprisoned is due the entire $13.2 million and his attorneys are allowed to claim their payment separately.
I'm trying to decide if I would be willing to live in a prison for 13 years, if in the end I was exonerated and got 13 million dollars.
A million a year. That's not a bad wage.
It is now --
It isn't that simple, regardless of the cash you receive, you will always have that aura of "guilty" hanging over your head by people who you once considered friends........
Unless you're willing to move to another country or another state where your identity will never be discovered, you will always be considered guilty in the eyes of many........I couldn't live with that.
In 2005, an employee at my plant was accused of molesting the girl friend of his teenage daughter. He was arrested, thrown in jail and arraigned and the judge even called him a monster for what he had done without even hearing the testimony.
Long story short, the ex-wife had conspired with the daughter's friend to falsely accuse Andy of the molestation because Andy had custody of their daughter and she was attempting to regain custody.
Andy was found innocent but the financial burden to fight the accusation and the ostracizing he encountered in his neighborhood and loss of his job in 2006 was too much for him. He hung himself in July of 2007........
No amount of money in the world will ever restore your honor or your good name.........
What the hell is wrong with people...
I have no idea......
Yeah, but they're paying it in cigarettes and doritos from the prison canteen.
The cops deserve 2 years for every year he served.
Spend a day or two in L.A County then get back to us.....you haven't a clue.
Sorry, but I cannot agree. The first clause of your statement is true; the second is not.
Cops who lie to the court are evil, wicked, heinous, and despicable, and they do it all the time. And, yes, I know they are allowed to lie to suspects they interrogate. I get that, but it is NOT what we are talking about on this thread.
Cops are not allowed to lie under oath. They are not allowed to lie in depositions, to the grand jury, in court, or to obtain a warrant. They are not allowed to suborn perjury. To do any of these is a crime, and they should be prosecuted for it.
Furthermore, when cops (or anyone in a position of authority) commits these crimes, they undermine faith in the system.
When policemen break the law, there isn't any law. Just a fight for survival. - Billy Jack
I would suppose that depends on whether you like sleeping with Bubba.
What pisses me off more than anything is after someone is exonerated the DA and cops usually stand by their "conclusions" and say they got the right man.
So, spend all our energy hating cops instead of electing good men?
Because power corrupts, societys demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.
- John Adams -
Straw man argument. The two activities are not mutually exclusive.
I could just as easily turn it around and say, "So, ignore wrongdoing by cops so we can spend all our energy fighting corrupt politicians?" How much sense does that make? None.
And, BTW, I do NOT hate cops. I know a bunch of them because I am a first responder myself (not a cop, however). Most are decent and honest, but a very sizable fraction fall short of what is acceptable, and the rest cover up for them.
With power comes responsibility, and cops have power--a lot of power--because they are the citizen's first contact with the justice system. Cops make the initial decision to arrest or let go. Once in the criminal justice system, a citizen is punished whether he is found guilty or not. He is out time, money, and perhaps his freedom for a time even if the charges are eventually dropped or he is found not guilty.
The more power one has, the higher should be the standard to which they are held.
Gov. workers, in this case police officers, should be held responsible for crimes they commit via the abuse of their authority.
If the public has to pay out for corrupt officials, they may decide dishonesty and moral corruption in politicans and government authority is not cool anymore. Otherwise. the whole nation will look like Detroit.
Absolutely correct. Anybody who depends on the "justice system" for justice is a fool.
Dick Peery
This article does not name assistant prosecutors Mark Mahoney and Perry Kendall who tried the flawed case nor say the Cuyahoga County prosecutor fought DNA examination for years after Ayers first asked in 2004. Now the same office is investigating police who fired 137 shots to kill two unarmed people in November.

I realise nail polish reviews have been somewhat sparse on Just Nice Things and it's because of two good reasons: the first was a major chop of the talons following a few splits and breakages, and the second was wearing a gel manicure for almost three weeks. I apologise for the big hold-up but hopefully I can make up for the absence with not one but four different colours courtesy of my favourites MeMeMe, who have launched four new opulent shades for autumn and winter, which I was kindly sent to try.

Ooh it's been a while since I posted about pretty make-up. Well we can't be neglecting that side of things on Just Nice Things so to remedy that, take a look at these lipsticks from high street favourites MeMeMe. These satin lip cream lippies are enriched with Shea Butter and Vitamin E and lightly scented. There are 10 colours to choose from of which I have been testing three shades: Hot Magenta, Berry Crush and Tuscan Red (from left to right on the top picture and the swatches below).

I love the shape of these – they're not your usual spherical shaped bronzer but shaped like gold nuggets and with a glorious mix of old gold colour and bronze too. The pigment is rich and smooth, and the product is so versatile as well. Use as a highlighter or

GhostBSD 3.1 has been released as the easy-to-use desktop FreeBSD spin with your choice of the GNOME2, Openbox, and LXDE desktop environments.
The NetBSD project has announced the simultaneous releases of NetBSD 6.0.2 and NetBSD 6.1, with the latter introducing new features to the open-source operating system.
The FreeBSD camp continues to develop pkgng, a next-generation binary package manager for the operating system.
One day after releasing the feature-rich DragonFlyBSD 3.4, the OpenBSD camp has announced the latest major release of their BSD operating system.
We knew it was coming and now DragonFlyBSD 3.4 has been officially released. DragonFlyBSD 3.4 brings with it a new packaging system, a new USB stack, a new default compiler, performance improvements, and more.
The DragonFlyBSD 3.4 release is anticipated for release in mid-April and one of the features to this next BSD operating system update is the formation of DPorts, a derivative of the FreeBSD ports collection.
One month after releasing NetBSD 6.1-RC1, the second release candidate to this first feature update for NetBSD 6 is now available.
BSDs have struggled with their graphics drivers for years but at least the situation is slowly improving.
GhostBSD 3.0 is a BSD operating system derived from FreeBSD. What sets this apart from FreeBSD and the KDE-based PC-BSD is that it's shipping with the GNOME 2.x desktop environment. Openbox and LXDE are also available for this BSD OS.
The FreeBSD Q4'2012 status report has been issued to update its users and other stakeholders on the state of this BSD operating system.
PC-BSD, the popular desktop FreeBSD-based operating system that's rather friendly towards conventional end-users, has now become a rolling release platform.
When it comes to kernel mode-setting and open-source graphics drivers, the BSD operating system with the best support is presently FreeBSD. For those, however, using NetBSD, improvements are forthcoming with an investment by the NetBSD Foundation.
The first release candidate of NetBSD 6.1 is now available and it will bring several new features to the forefront for this BSD operating system.
Jean-Sébastien Pédron has started a project to implement up-to-date support for AMD GPUs in FreeBSD.
Support for the Lua scripting language is being added to the NetBSD kernel so that it's possible to interact with the BSD kernel's various subsystems using this popular scripting language. With a Lua interpreter being added to the kernel, it's even possible to extend the kernel's subsystems in this scripting language.
BHyVe is a legacy-free hypervisor being developed by FreeBSD developers that was recently merged into mainline to be part of the FreeBSD 10.0 release. The BHyVe virtualization hypervisor relies upon Intel VT-x and already has several interesting features as it aims to be truly legacy-free, high-performance, while being contained within a very small footprint.
FreeBSD developers are working on enabling support for the C11 and C++11 programming language standards within their operating system.
While there's plenty of code pouring into the Linux world for bettering open-source graphics drivers from desktop graphics cards to ARM SoCs, in the *BSD world they are struggling with their graphics driver support. Matthieu Herrb gave a presentation on the (rather poor) state of graphics on Unix-like platforms outside of Linux.
New features and other enhancements for the performance benchmarking of *BSD operating systems have been committed with the forthcoming release of Forsand.
NetBSD developers have announced the release of pkgsrc-2012Q4, the latest quarterly release of the package management system used by many BSD operating systems and other Unix-like platforms. This latest release also marks fifteen years that this open-source "package source" program has been around.
While Linux continues to move along quite briskly on ARM hardware support and already has 64-bit ARM AArch64 support, that's not the case in the BSD world. With FreeBSD, they're still working on bringing up ARMv6 support and pulling in support for the different ARM SoCs/boards.
While it's arriving late, FreeBSD 9.1 has been officially released just in time for 2013.
For those of you currently on NetBSD 6.0 or are using NetBSD 5.x as your operating system but have been wanting a reason to upgrade, the first NetBSD 6.0.x point release has surfaced.
Yesterday I shared the latest round of BSD vs. Linux vs. Solaris performance benchmarks for a variety of workloads. In this article today are a couple extra results that happened during this recent performance testing on the Intel Core i7 3960X Extreme Edition.
It's currently unknown when FreeBSD 9.1 will be officially released.
After knowing it was coming for some time, and nearly two months after the NetBSD 6.0 release, NetBSD 5.2 is now available.
While FreeBSD 9.1 is running behind schedule, one of the exciting additions to this forthcoming BSD operating system is finally debuting Intel kernel mode-setting on FreeBSD support.
Two servers part of the FreeBSD.org cluster were intruded upon last week.
NetBSD 6.0 was released last month with better multi-core/SMP support, the experimental CHFS file-system for flash devices, and other worthwhile enhancements. However, for those not yet ready to jump from NetBSD 5.x to NetBSD 6.0, there is a NetBSD 5.2 release on approach.
There's a call for unification of the four largest *BSD operating systems in a move to create a "unified BSD" with the best features in order to better compete with GNU/Linux.

I had six unauthorized debits and only two cancellations from this company. I have recently recieved Wired Magazine from this company also. I never ordered it. On top of that, I continued to recieve Honey Magazine for months after I cancelled it.
The two differing phone numbers (Billing Inquiry Line) listed beside each debit to my account are each linked to the Magazine Service Center which is an automated service which does not allow you to speak with a real person at any time. That option is not even avaiable. A six digit number is requested when I 'SAY' the option to cnacel. That six digit number is not located beside any of the FOUR debits that were taken from my account after the first TWO magazines were cancelled and refunded to my account.
This mysterious company has caused my bank to charge me overdraft fees to the point that today (10/16/2002) my bank account has been closed. That means that I will probably not be able to be refunded any money that I have lost as a result and it might be reported to credit agencies.
These are the transactions that have taken place.
624103C - Confirmation number for cancellation of Honey.
624102C - Confirmation number for cancellation of Psychology Today.
I not only want the monies that were debited from my account refunded to me, I would also like to have the overdraft fees covered and refunded to me being that the transactions from this company cause the overdraft fees in the first place as well as any future negative marks on my credit to be erased.
I encourage ANYONE who has been a victim of this company to report them and the please make a Ripoff Report on ripoff.com as well.

I love this little coat. It looks so very smart on my little one. The seller was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions straight away.
1me Original & Eco-friendly, children's fashion
1me began with my children, I had an idea of what I wanted to buy for them and was frustrated that I couldn't find what I imagined.
My workshop started in the corner of our wardrobe with some built-in cubbyholes to hold all my fabrics and a very small desk for my sewing machine. Thankfully I now have a much larger space for sewing set up in our barn away from any distractions, with the added bonus of not having to tidy it all away into a cupboard every afternoon. I have a really large and ever growing collection of vintage fabrics, often I love a particular print so much I am reluctant to part with it, somehow a special customer always comes along who it is perfect for! (1me is the only thing saving me from becoming a fabric hoarder :)
Vintage patterns are the main inspiration for my designs, tweaked a little bit to be fit in with a more modern day wardrobe. Most of the fabrics I use are old and have probably spent a very long time sitting in a someone else's cupboard unused, it is very satisfying to me that it is being given a second chance and the older fabrics are often better quality than new.
A massive perk of having a shop on Etsy has been connecting with likeminded people who get as excited about choosing fabrics and creating the clothing as me! I guess my ultimate goal is give my customers a stylish, quality garment that is as unique as the child wearing it.

V-sync and crispy textures
#1 Members - Reputation: 4336
Posted 02 September 2014 - 03:31 PM
I've noticed something strange in my engine:
- v-sync on = all good
- v-sync off = lit textures look 'crispy' (sand like) when I move the camera
- turn it on again, still crispy
When I restart my application with v-sync enabled it's all good.
I update vsync realtime by:
- change present parameters (default vs intermediate)
- on lost device/ reset/ on reset device
Any idea what might be causing this?

From my experience "crispy" textures usually comes from point filtering on texture samplers or disabled mip-mapping. Have you tried starting with vsync off? Something may be getting fubar'd during device reset.

Wouldn't grainy / crispy textures indicate a lack of mipmaps? Or maybe incorrect texture sampler settings?
[Edit] Oops, Voidmancer beat me to it.

If you take a screen shot with and without the crispy textures, do you see a difference in the still images? Perhaps you could post a before and after image, which would help to figure out what the issue is.

Do you just have an extremely high frame-rate and it's just plain old screen tearing?
Reenabling vsync still shows the problem, so I doubt it has to do with that.
I'd imagine it's some reinitialization oversight (if it's reinitializing the video hardware), otherwise I have no idea.

As others have alluded too, it sounds like a mip-mapping issue, rather than an engine issue.
Have you created mipmaps for your entire image chain, and are you reloading them after each device lost/reset event?

Thanks for all pointers and replies.
I did some more testing and made some screenshots/ still images:
1. With v-sync
2. Without v-sync
3. Without v-sync at start (no switching)
It appears that results 1 and 3 are the same, so that probably means it doesn't have anything to do with V-sync.
Maybe something with the resetting of the device.
Below are the 3 screenshots and my reset code, what would you think?
With V-sync:
Without V-sync:
And without V-sync, at start (no switching):
Some code:
/**************************************************************************************/ /*** SET VSYNC ***/ /*** ==> usage: enables or desable vsync for d3d rendering ***/ /*** ==> updates the vsync bool in the d3d settings struct and resets the device ***/ /**************************************************************************************/ bool CD3d::SetVsync(const bool pVsync) { if(mSettings.GetVsync() == pVsync) return false; mSettings.SetVsync(pVsync); if(mSettings.GetVsync()) mD3dpp.PresentationInterval = D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_DEFAULT; // v-sync ON else mD3dpp.PresentationInterval = D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_IMMEDIATE; // v-sync OFF OnLostDevice(); while(!ResetDevice()) ResetDevice(); OnResetDevice(); return true; } // input handling routine if(_input.KeyPressed(VK_F4)) // PRESSED { if(!_d3d.mSettings.GetVsync()) _d3d.SetVsync(true); else _d3d.SetVsync(false); }

Update: I found it, after resetting the device, I wasnt't 'resetting'/initializing my state machine.
So all d3d states (render, texture, sampler) were los and not recovered, all good now (probably texture filtering).
Thanks again for helping me in the right direction.

We wish her one very awesome MTV special about her big day. Hey, sis Kendall got one on E! for hers!
We wish her to have one hot car waiting in the driveway. This season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians has showcased her learning to drive, so she's definitely ready to put the pedal to the metal!
We wish her one beautiful vacation at the beach, like the one in Greece that KUWTK is airing now. The only difference? It would be without her family. Bliss!
We wish her an appearance of Kim Kardashian and her baby well in advance of her party. Can't have North upstaging the birthday girl!
We wish her one session in the studio with potential bro-in-law Kanye West. For reality stars, how have no Kardashians not released Autotune-y, awkward songs?!
We wish her one big ol' bouquet of flowers from her rumored beau/bestie, Jaden Smith (and we wish she would explain what's going on there!).
We wish her college applications for somewhere far away and very different from Calabasas, like the University of New Hampshire.
We wish her a spin-off so we could just hang with her and Kendall on Sunday nights instead.
We wish her a new nail color for fall. Lighten up from all that black, girl! Have you tried nail art?
We wish her quality time (and a birthday dinner) with her older brothers Brandon and Brody Jenner.

Arizona Spring 2010 Hunt Deadline October 13th
Tuesday, October 13 by 7 p.m. (MST) is the latest that the Arizona Game and Fish department will accept applications for the random drawing process for spring bear, turkey, javelina and buffalo.
Applications may be hand delivered to any of the seven department offices around the state, or sent by U.S. mail to Arizona Game and Fish Department, Attn: Drawing Section, PO Box 74020, Phoenix, AZ 85087-1052. Postmarks don't count and there is no online application process available.
The 2010 Spring Turkey, Javelina, Buffalo and Bear hunt draw information booklet and application forms are available at more than 300 license dealers statewide, at Game and Fish offices, or by downloading from www.azgfd.gov/draw.
Note: a previous news release incorrectly noted "all spring bear hunts are issued over-the-counter." This is incorrect, some general hunts and archery-only spring bear hunts are allocated through the spring big game draw process and require an application submitted by the deadline.
Youth hunters
Many of Arizona's wildlife conservation groups are hosting "mentored hunting camps" for young hunters this spring, including two javelina camps and three turkey camps. These free camps offer field assistance, instruction, food and camaraderie.
To qualify there is a few things you need to do. Obtain a youth general hunting or combo license. Youth hunters ages 10-13 must complete an Arizona certified hunter education course before the hunt. In addition, a javelina or turkey tag is required. The hunt number for the region of the javelina camps is 5039 (Unit 20c) and 5040 (Unit 23). The 2010 juniors-only turkey tag is available for purchase over-the-counter at any licensed dealer or department office and is valid for the units where the camps will be hosted.
Support our troops: Donate an outdoor magazine With deadline approaching, be certain your application is submitted on time by dropping it off to the nearest department office, along with one (or more) of your used outdoor-related magazines to any department office.
In an effort to bring the great outdoors and hunting heritage to U.S. military personnel overseas serving our country, the department has teamed up with the nonprofit organization, Outdoor Experience 4 All, by providing magazine collection points at all department offices through the spring draw deadline. Outdoor Experience 4 All has arranged to have all the donated magazines packed up and sent overseas to the troops while they are away. To learn more about the magazine drive, contact www.outdoorexperienceforall.org.
There are Arizona Game and Fish locations in Phoenix, Mesa, Flagstaff, Pinetop, Kingman, Tucson and Yuma. For addresses, visit www.azgfd.gov/offices.
For more information about hunting and the big game draw process, visit www.azgfd.gov/hunting.

So let's see what's the full story according to Drvermin. 1/4 of Chipolte's workforce in MINNESOTA is comprised of illegal aliens. MINNESOTA not know for having a high concentration of illegals mind you. Imagine that number is more like 90% in states like California and Texas.Chipolte says "We had no idea these poor, brown, non English Speaking people in MINNESOTA were illegal!"Drvermin fully accepts Chipolte's explanation and feals that Chipolte is fully absolved of any wrongdoing since they wouldn't possibly lie about such a thing.Yeah okay Drvermin.
