We represent many violent crimes such as assault and battery, hate crimes, domestic violence, illegal possession of weapons, arson, manslaughter, homicide and attempted murder.
Assault and Battery
Although assault and battery are often charged together, they are separate charges. Battery is the touching of a person or anything related to that person, without his/her consent. Assault is the attempt to illegally inflict violent injury on another person. The main difference between assault and battery is that battery means more than just verbal threats. Depending on the severity of the assault or battery, assault and battery can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor.
Illegal Possession of Weapons
The charge for illegally possessing firearms really depends on the facts of the case. Some charges can be dismissed in some instances based on the facts. Many questions need to be asked such as?
On many occasions, the criminal defense attorneys at Outlaw Legal Services have gotten these kinds of charges dropped before charges were ever filed.

These are just some of the violent crimes we represent at Outlaw Legal Services. Our criminal defense attorneys are experienced in all areas of violent crimes. We can only help you if you give us a call as soon as possible. Time is of the essence to begin working on your case.

If you have been charged with a probation violation, contact Outlaw Legal Services immediately as probation violations can be time sensitive.
Many criminal defendants who are convicted will get probation with their sentence. Anyone convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor case will either have to serve formal probation, which is supervised by a probation officer, or summary probation, which is unsupervised probation. Probation obligations can include the payment of fines, completion of community service, court ordered participation in classes and/or programs, jail time, or in person progress reports. It is very important that all probation must be fulfilled with in the time allotted by the court. And above all DO NOT GET ARRESTED FOR ANYTHING ELSE DURING YOUR PROBATION PERIOD.
If a person on probation breaks any rules or fails to complete the probation requirements, probation can be revoked. The court may then impose prison time, a jail sentence or even a warrant.
In the event probation is violated contact Outlaw Legal Services to discuss your options to see what can be done. The best defense attorney will get rid of or reduce any potential consequences that come with your probation violation. Each case is unique and needs to be handled as such. Most cases have extenuating circumstances that need to be addresses in a timely manner for the best results.

Obstruction of justice covers a broad area and occurs when someone makes an effort to prevent the execution of a lawful process or the administration of justice in either a criminal or civil matter. Obstruction of evidence can entail such actions as destroying evidence, intimidating potential witnesses, retaliating against actual witnesses, preparing false testimony or false evidence, or interfering with jurors and other court personnel. There are criminal obstruction statutes in place to help protect the integrity of legal proceedings and to protect individuals participating in criminal proceedings. Additionally, a person that gives false testimony in court can be charged with perjury, as well as obstruction of justice.
In order to be charged with obstruction of justice, law enforcement must believe or have strong evidence that you influenced or attempted to influence a proceeding or an investigation in some manner. Being charged with obstruction of justice is a very serious matter! If your charges result in a conviction you can end up in jail for a term of up to ten years, depending upon the obstruction committed. There can also be severe fines, community service, probation and a misdemeanor or felony charge on your criminal record.
Don't think that a charge of obstruction of justice is not serious! Contact the criminal defense attorneys that are on your side and willing to work hard to fight your charges! Remember, we can't help you if you don't call!

A conviction for a DUI (driving under the influence) carries serious penalties such as jail time, fines, court costs, community service, probation, home arrest, license suspension or revocation, court ordered alcohol treatment and/or education. A person convicted of a felony DUI may have to serve time in prison. It is important that you hire a competent defense lawyer who will aggressively represent you. Outlaw Legal Services will provide you with that competent attorney!
In Utah, any driver with a blood-alcohol concentration – or BAC – above .08% is considered "per se intoxicated" under the law. This evidence is all that is needed for a driver to be considered driving under the influence. Even if the driver is below the .08%, arrest is still an option. For a person under the age of 21, Utah practices a "Zero Tolerance," meaning you will be arrested. Penalties involve suspension or revocation of your driver's license by the Department of Motor Vehicles. After a driver is charged with a DUI, he or she has 10 days to submit a hearing request to the DMV, or this person will indefinitely have a license suspension. In Utah, for the original DUI offense the mandatory suspension is 90 days; for the second offense, one to two years; for the third offense, three years. Being charged with a DUI is no laughing matter.
Our criminal defense attorneys are experienced in dealing with DUI cases and drunk driving. Aggressive representation is even more critical if there was an accident or someone was injured or killed. If you are charged with a DUI, Outlaw Legal Services will fight for your rights to get your life back on track.
If your arrest was related to a DUI accident where someone was seriously injured or died, you might also be prosecuted for negligent homicide, aggravated assault, vehicular manslaughter, and possibly, murder. It is essential that you hire a competent criminal defense attorney to start working on your case immediately!
Outlaw Legal Services will aggressively fight for your rights which could lead you to avoiding a conviction. Our attorneys will fight and work to reduce any other consequences associated with your case. Our attorneys will investigate all evidence and witnesses involved in your case to best prepare themselves to handle your case in a manner that will help you move past your DUI and get on with your life.

Drug charges usually facing our clients are ones involving illegal drugs and prescription drugs such as OxyContin and Vicodin. A person can be charged with selling drugs, simple drug possession, trafficking drugs, manufacturing a controlled substance, and growing drugs.
A person with a prior criminal record can determine the severity of the punishment. A person with no prior charges or a first-time offender will face less severe charges than a person with a prior criminal record for the same charges. Charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies.
The amount and types of illegal drugs involved can determine the seriousness of the charges. Were the drugs intended for personal use or to sell? These are all taken into consideration when charges are being filed against you. Being in possession of a drug is typically worse than just having the paraphernalia.
Penalties for drug crime convictions can be serious and include fines, jail or prison time, loss of driver's license, seizure of all assets, and drug treatment. This is why it is so important to hire the right criminal defense attorney.

Being accused of domestic violence in the state of Utah is a serious charge and even if you are innocent it should be taken seriously. Domestic violence is defined as any criminal offense involving violence, physical harm, the threat of violence or physical harm committed by one cohabitant against another. Domestic violence in the presence of children has a higher penalty in the eyes of the law. If the police are called in on a domestic violence charge someone will usually be arrested and charged.
Laws that are meant to protect the domestic violence victims often end up victimizing innocent people that are wrongfully accused of committing domestic violence crimes. District attorneys will frequently pursue a case of spousal abuse even after the alleged domestic violence victim admits to exaggerating the claims or to lying because the district attorney believes the victim is changing their story to protect their abuser so they won't spend time in prison or acquire a criminal record.
If you have been arrested for domestic violence you need an aggressive defense lawyer. Outlaw Legal Services knows that the criminal justice system most often works in the accuser's favor. With an experienced criminal defense attorney domestic violence charges can often be reduced or dismissed so that you don't have to serve any jail time.

The criminal process can be very confusing! It is very important that you understand your rights and be informed of how the court system works. At Outlaw Legal Services our criminal defense attorneys will be there for you to help you make informed decisions throughout this process.
Crime Reporting and Investigation
The criminal process begins when a crime is committed and reported to a law enforcement agency. The law enforcement agency will then investigate the reported crime, create a police report with all of the evidence and facts they have gathered and then they will present it to the District Attorney's Office. The District Attorney's Office will review the case, determine what laws were broken, if any, and whether or not there is enough evidence to press charges against the accused. If they have sufficient evidence, they will then file the case with the courts.
Initial Appearance/Arraignment
An initial appearance or arraignment is the defendant's first appearance in court. During this hearing, the judge will formally inform the defendant of his/her rights, the charge or charges against him/her and the judge will ask the defendant to enter a plea of guilty, not guilty or no contest. A guilty plea is the defendant's admission to the court that he/she committed the crime. If the defendant pleads guilty, he/she will most likely be sentenced immediately. A not guilty plea is the defendant's denial of committing the crime, in which case another court hearing will be scheduled. A no contest plea is where the defendant neither confirms nor denies committing the crime. This plea is preferable to a guilty plea and the defendant will generally be sentenced immediately.
If the defendant is incarcerated, the arraignment usually occurs within 72 hours of the arrest. The court will set bail, refuse bail or release the defendant on his/her own personal recognizance, which means that the court takes the defendant's word that he/she will appear to their next court hearing.
Additionally, if the defendant cannot afford to hire a criminal defense attorney, the court will determine whether or not he/she qualifies for a court appointed attorney or public defender.
Pretrial Conference/Resolution Hearing
A hearing that provides the prosecutor and criminal defense attorney the opportunity to discuss the possibility of settling a case before trial is known as a pretrial conference or resolution hearing. This promotes a fair and expeditious trial. If the defendant agrees to a plea, the case will move to sentencing. If there is not an agreeable resolution, the case will move to a preliminary hearing.
Preliminary Hearing
A preliminary hearing is like a mini trial, or "trial before the trial." This is where the judge decides whether or not there is enough evidence to charge the defendant. The prosecutor will present all of their evidence and witnesses will testify. The defendant's criminal attorney has a chance to present the case. However, in some cases the attorney might use this time to cross-examine witnesses testifying against the defendant and see if the prosecutor has inconsistencies in their case against you. If the judge finds the there is insufficient evidence, the charges can be dismissed and if there is sufficient evidence the case will be bound over to a trial judge.
A trial is set when a disposition or plea agreement cannot be reached. The defendant's criminal attorney and the prosecutor will make their opening statements, introduce their witnesses, present evidence, cross-examine witnesses and give their closing arguments. The defendant has the right to a jury trial, which is a trial held before a jury, or a bench trial which a trial held without a jury and solely before a judge. The jury and/or judge will reach their decision on whether or not the defendant is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. If a decision cannot be made, it is considered a mistrial. If the defendant is found guilty, the case will move to sentencing.
Sentencing occurs after a defendant pleads guilty, no contest or is found guilty after trial. The judge decides what type of penalty is suitable for the defendant based on the type of crime committed and the criminal history of the defendant. The penalty can consist of fines, jail or prison time, community service, probation and court ordered treatment and/or counseling.
Order to Show Cause
If a defendant fails to comply with the court orders then the court is notified. The court will schedule a hearing in which the defendant must appear to explain why they have not complied or to show proof that they have.
An appeal is a request for an examination of the trial to ensure that it was conducted in a fair manner. Whether or not you have merit to file an appeal depends on the facts of your case. If the criminal defense attorney can prove that the defendant was denied due process of the law or that legal errors occurred during trial, then the defendant's conviction could be overturned.
Motion to Withdraw a Guilty Plea or Motion for a New Trial
Both of these motions are attempts to set a defendant's conviction aside and are addressed on a case-by-case situation.
An expungement is the removal of a charge from one's record. A defendant may apply to have their charge or charges expunged if he/she has successfully complied with all court orders and probation.

Credit card fraud and check fraud is a serious offense in the state of Utah. Police and prosecutors take these types of charges very seriously, in part to send a clear message that these types of fraud or any type of fraud will not be tolerated.
Police and prosecutors have the sophisticated technology to investigate and follow credit card fraud that occurs over the internet or in person. Their technology is so sophisticated that they can follow the illegal transaction back to the computer used in the transaction. Security cameras are everywhere. Our criminal defense attorneys will conduct a thorough, independent investigation into the case against you in an effort to seek evidence to use to help your case.
Bouncing a check can be a criminal offense if you write the check knowing there is insufficient money in the account to cover the check. Check fraud is a serious crime!
Unfortunately in both check fraud and credit card fraud it may not be enough to pay restitution on the stolen money, there may also be a significant jail sentence as well. Hiring the right criminal defense attorney could make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. At Outlaw Legal Services our attorneys are ready to fight for your rights!!

In 1862 Mexico defaulted on some loans to France. Napoleon III was wanting to expand the French empire and used the excuse of Mexico's loan default to invade. Neither Britain nor Spain offered protest and of course the United States was embroiled in conflict. The invasion and defeat of Mexico took over a year and in 1864 an Austrian named Ferdinand Maximilian was placed as Emperor of Mexico. His rule would not last long. During his short reign the upper class of the Mexican populace lavished him with expensive gifts which he seemed to have a never ending appetite for. The American Civil War ended shortly after he gained his throne and it was obvious the United States wanted the French out of Mexico. He realized his time was short and that the Mexicans may not let him get out of the country alive much less with his wealth. In 1866 He devised a plan to transport his riches by way of Texas to Galveston and form there back to France.
The loot was hidden among barrels of flour on fifteen wagon loads as it crossed into Texas near present day Presidio. I live in West Texas and have traveled it extensively and let me tell you Presidio is way out in the middle of nowhere. It is west of Big Bend National Park and east of El Paso.
A very remote area, and a long, long way from San Antonio, much less Galveston. The wagon train had the ill fortune of meeting a group of renegade Confederates on the way to Mexico. The Confederates reported seeing Indians so the Austrians hired the Confederates to protect them on the long journey from Presidio to San Antonio. During the trek the Confederates noticed the Austrian guards were over protective of the flour. As they headed east somewhere near the Pecos River the curiosity of the Confederates got them to spying into the flour barrels. After discovering the hidden treasure, you guessed it, they killed everyone who had traveled from Mexico. They buried the jewels and most of the loot and made the wagons look like they had been attacked and destroyed. They then decided to carry with them as much of the coins as their saddlebags would carry, anxious to get to San Antonio. They would of course return later to retrieve the buried riches. One of them fell ill and was thereafter shot and left behind to die in the Texas sun. He survived only to catch up with the others who themselves had been killed by either Comanche or outlaws, empty saddlebags strewn about. This lone survivor of Maximilian's expedition was picked up by some horse thieves who were then arrested by a sheriff. They need to make a movie about this if they have not already.
The wounded man placed in jail told his tale to a doctor and an attorney shortly before succumbing to infection from his gunshot wound. He drew them a map on where to find Maximilian's treasure. Several years passed until the Indians were pushed further west before the doctor and attorney used the map to try and locate the loot, and once again as you probably guessed they found nothing. Supposedly, the whereabouts is somewhere along the Pecos river south of Odessa. Sounds easy enough but that is still a big area, even if the tale is true. I suspect there is some truth to the story but then again Texans like to tell tall tales.
As for Maximilian, he never did get out of Mexico, and was executed in 1867. So there you are, a little bit of history entwined with a treasure tale. Those are some my favorite to share.

We are just a few days from celebrating a really big birthday, but I wanted to take a minute to update you on the other two sisters since they are currently passing milestones too.
I hit three months with Mayby2 this week. I'm out of the first trimester and couldn't be happier about it. I'm anxious to feel her kicking (or at least confirm that what I'm feeling are kicks), but I'm also so relieved to be feeling nearly back to normal. It really is true what they say about the second trimester; it is the honeymoon stage. I've started on a few pieces of newborn clothing and ordered a professional snap setter (as it seems like most baby/kids clothes have snaps in them); I'm hoping this will help me in my clothes construction.
Bea turned 2.5 yesterday and she is just as two as ever.
Of my two, she is by far the more spirited, exuberant child. I love her for this as I can appreciate many qualities she has that I lack. As she approaches three, she is learning how to reign in her passion, when appropriate, and is otherwise easy-going and sweet.
She's done with the paci (check), after the last remaining one broke a few weeks ago and we decided to pitch it before it became a choking hazard (mom's thoughts). Much to my surprise, although I shouldn't have been given the above, it became a non-issue after the first night of sleep. Just like her older sis, she quickly attached to her baby doll (hers is named Vella, as opposed to Stella) immediately after and does like to ensure that Vella always has her paci to sleep.
Potty training is underway (almost check), and I think she is possibly the easiest trainee on the planet. I did predict that the second one would be easier, but little did I realize how much easier when you have a highly motivated (by praise and candy) child and an older sister along for encouragement (who also gets praise and candy when little one is successful).
Big girl bed has not yet happened (no check) but we've soft started. She starts out in the bed and we tell her she can stay ALL NIGHT LONG as long as she doesn't get out of bed. Oh is she excited to try but rarely does this last longer than a few minutes before we hear little footsteps clunking around to find us and whispers of "hi, mommy!" when she does. As long as she keeps napping (which is starting to become iffy), I'm fine with this arrangement for now.
If I compare the two girls at this age (which I know, you're not supposed to do), MG was much farther along in communication. This is surprising, because MG was already a little behind her peers. Bea has always been a little behind the curve in this but not to the point of concern. She can say just about anything now to get her point across and is starting to form a few more complex sentences too. Her talking is very enthusiastic (and she came with a built-in politeness meter, so it seems) that it is very endearing. "Thank you, Mommy, thank you, Daddy, thank you, Sissy." She will say in succession until she has landed on the right person. She will repeat this until you acknowledge her too.
Her baby doll play has really grown in the past month and she loves changing their clothes, keeping them fed, and every time we walk out the door, it seems she must bring along her baby in a car seat, along with a diaper bag full of random…toys.
Bea's favorite people are all the men in our family: Daddy (first of course), Papa, Gampy, and Uncle Joel. She is a daddy's girl through and through.
Thank you for the encouragement on my last post. I did not mean to make it seem as though I am considering giving up my writing (although I am only one more computer issue away….just kidding, sort of). The thoughts are just coming to me a little more slowly and I do find I enjoy the immediacy of Instagram more and more.
When I was in college I took a few painting classes to fulfill my art requirements. I distinctly remember taking an oil painting class and sharing with my mom (who I knew would relate) that I, for the duration of that class, viewed the world in how to translate it into a painting.
In other words, I would look at a tree and think about what colors I would blend to create the perfect color and how to get the shading just right, and what texture to use for the bark. These thoughts would come to me freely all day every day, with or without a palette in front of me.
Now it seems I go back and forth between viewing everything through the lens of a seamstress and a writer, whatever is more forefront on my brain. I look at clothes construction in a whole new way, thinking about how to solve various problems I'm having or to create something new.
Similarly, my writer's brain is most often turned on when I am reading a good book and have quiet time to think. I translate my day into short snippets that I think would look appealing on a page and harmonize in the brain. I hope as I let Sweet Mama Makes float away, I will free up more "thinking space" to do this.
1 Comment on Three months, Thirty months
Dear dear Kate,
Oh how I enjoy your pen and your heart! I was so much like you in that season of my life. A pen so close by, and a sewing machine! I too loved to create and decorate my sweet home. We love you and Nate and yours…and I look forward to feeling like we still are in your life when reading about your life. I feel often as if I am going back in time and I smile with warm recollections.
Hello and our love to your Bea's favorite guys…daddy and that special gramps we think is pretty special too! Keep picking up your pen!

Police are appealing for help to trace a man missing from his Washington home.
Ian Jonathan Leaf, 30, was reported missing from his home address at Oxclose, near Washington, at 1pm on Tuesday, January 7.
Mr Leaf was reported missing after he failed to turn up to his place of work in Gateshead.
His disappearance is out of character and police are increasingly concerned for his welfare.
Searches are underway and officers are also speaking with all those who know Mr Leaf or have had contact with him over recent days.
He is described as being 6ft 1inch tall, thin build, cleanly shaven and a lot of dark brown short hair with a parting to the left. He has a pale complexion and brown eyes. It is believed he may be wearing a black padded waterproof jacket.
Detective Chief Inspector Scott Hall said:"We're becoming increasingly concerned for Mr Leaf's welfare as going missing is out of character for him.
"I'd urge anyone who sees him or knows of his whereabouts, or Mr Leaf himself, to make contact with us as soon as possible."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 ext 69191, quoting reference 452 07/01/14.

When Personal Is Public
One confusion has to do with the public character of the abortion license, which the members described repeatedly as a matter of "personal morality." This is precisely wrong. Abortion, as the bishops have consistently taught, is a matter of the fifth commandment, not the sixth; it's a question of public justice, not sexual morals. Why? Because abortion involves taking the life of an indisputably human creature, endowed with an inalienable right to life. That is a serious public matter, not a private choice, because protecting innocent life is one of the first requirements of justice in any decent society.
Roe v. Wade (the 1973 Supreme Court decision that tried to justify abortion via an alleged "right to privacy") and Casey v. Planned Parenthood (the 1992 decision that re-tooled the abortion license as a "liberty right") were both wrongly decided just as Dred Scott v. Sandford, the 1857 decision declaring African-Americans legal non-persons, was wrongly decided. As the pope, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and the U.S. bishops have all taught and as any reputable theory of justice would confirm legislators who have sworn to uphold the rule of law, but who recognize that the Supreme Court has made a grave error, have certain responsibilities; they can't simply wash their hands of the affair, on the grounds that, well, the Court has settled the issue.
Three Moral Obligations
To begin with, legislators have an obligation to state publicly that the Court got it wrong. In their letter, the members justified pro-choice voting records on the grounds that "the Supreme Court has declared that our Constitution provides women with a right to an abortion." Anyone truly opposed to abortion would immediately continue, "But the Court, sadly, was wrong. Tragically and lethally wrong."
Secondly, conscientious legislators have a moral obligation to try to limit the damage caused by bad Supreme Court decisions. Some of the members who wrote Cardinal McCarrick have done so; most have not. Moreover, few of the signatories have made any serious effort to change the dynamics within the Democratic Party, in which unabashed support for the abortion license is the litmus test for national office and the litmus test for weighing judicial nominees. This suggests that most of these members are not working, as any morally serious legislator must, to reverse the Court's wrongheaded abortion decisions which is the third requirement for lawmakers in situations like post-Roe v. Wade America.
Making Distinctions
The members also mistakenly invoke Father John Courtney Murray, S.J., in defense of their attempt to describe abortion as an issue of "private" morality not subject to legal regulation. Murray (who died almost six years before Roe) was dubious about the wisdom of the Church defending state laws that criminalized the sale of contraceptives. But contraception, while a serious sin with grave cultural implications, is, in essence, a matter of conjugal morality and the sixth commandment; abortion is a matter of public justice and the fifth commandment. That's the distinction Murray would likely draw, not the one suggested by the members.
Finally, the members misrepresent canon law and the purpose of canonical penalties. Canon 915 states that those who "obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion." The application of this canon to present circumstances is being vigorously debated throughout the United States (and in Rome) right now. The debate would be a wiser one if everyone understood (as the forty-eight members of Congress evidently do not) that canonical penalties have a different aim than penalties in civil and criminal law. The purpose of canonical penalties is remedial, even medicinal: imposing a penalty is intended, not so much as a punishment, but as a prod to conversion. The aim is not retribution, but change of heart and mind.
The members' letter did not, alas, advance an important debate. It muddied the waters even further.

Synopsis: With help from a few of his closest friends an eighteen year old high school drop smuggles marijuana over the Canadian border. Along the way his debauchery and excess catch up with him.
The film is loosely based on actual events which happened and in this regard so many films suffer since there are often things that have to be changed for cinematic reasons. And trying to find that satisfying balance between what actually happened and what is fantasy can make or break any film.
Narrative wise things are well constructed and all of the characters back-stories are fully fleshed out. Sue there is an air of predictability to the events which unfold, but then this type of story has been countless times before and many instances much better. One area that could have lessened this film's nagging 'predictability' would have been having more likeable characters or at least some with an ounce of charisma. The most likable character in this film this film's protagonists rival a drug dealer named Brendan Butler. He is an orphan from South Korea that has been adopted by the man who now funds his rivals' drug smuggling from Canada. This character has no off button as he disrespects everyone he talks too and this ultimately leads to his demise.
Performance wise the cast are all more than adequate in their respective roles. With Aaron Yoo in the role of Brendan Butler being the most memorable performance. Another performance of note is John C. McGinley (Point Break) in the role of John Grefard, the protagonists' Canadian marijuana supplier. Overall despite its short comings Kid Cannabis can be mild entertaining ride if you are in the right frame of mind.
Kid Cannabis comes on a 25 GB single layer BluRay. The film is presented in a 1080 progressive anamorphic widescreen. Colors and flesh tones look accurate, black levels look strong and details look crisp. There are no issues with DNR or compression.
This release comes with two audio options, a DTS-HD 5.1 mix in English and a Dolby Digital Stereo mix in English. You really can't go wrong with either of these audio mixes. Dialog is always clear, everything sounds balanced and robust when it needs too.
Extras are limited to a trailer for the film and trailers for other films also available from Well Go USA. Overall Kid Cannabis gets a first rate audio / video presentation.
Note: This film is also being released by Well Go USA on DVD.

Reds shrink magic number to eight after completing sweep of Pirates
It was a good old-fashioned pitcher's duel in Cincinnati on Wednesday night as Homer Bailey (11-9) put together one of his better Great American Ballpark performances and put away Pittsburgh, 2-1. The win inches the Reds closer to October as their magic number continues to shrink. It now stands at just eight after St. Louis fell to San Diego, 3-2. For more details on the series finale, read on.
The Good
-We saw the "good" Homer Bailey again as he was able outduel AJ Burnett (15-7), tossing seven innings of one run ball. It's not much of a secret that Bailey has struggled at GABP, but he posted an excellent line tonight, walking two while striking out four and lowering his season ERA to 3.93.
-It's starting to feel final now. With the win, the Reds' magic number to clinch the NL Central lowered to eight as the Cardinals lost again (ha!) at San Diego.
-J.J. Hoover got his shot at the back end of the bullpen with Aroldis Chapman shut down and Jonathan Broxton needing a day off. Hoover worked around a two-out single and posted a shutout ninth inning for his first career major league save.
-The offense was just enough tonight. Burnett has stymied many offenses this year, including Cincinnati's, but an RBI ground out from Wilson Valdez in the third and a sac fly from Scott Rolen in the sixth gave Bailey all he needed.
-Sam LeCure tossed a perfect eighth inning for his sixth hold.
-The Reds sniffed out a suicide squeeze play put on by the Pirates in the sixth inning. Ryan Hanigan held on to the bunt attempt by Clint Barmes and applied the tag to Alex Presley. The game was tied, 1-1, at that point and the Pirates really never threatened again.
The Bad
-The offense continues to sputter. Luckily tonight Bailey was outstanding against a sputtering (to put it nicely) Pirates lineup, but the offensive woes of the past couple weeks are something to continue watching if not become overly concerned about right now.
-Valdez batted second and played short again with Zack Cozart continuing to miss time with his oblique injury. This is nothing new, and Cozart is likely still at least a week away, but this team desperately needs a healthy Cozart in October. Luckily, a positive report came out about Cozart today as he worked out in pre-game and said he felt much better.
-The Pirates. OK, so the Buccos being bad helped the Reds to a series sweep, but am I the only one who finds their epic collapse (again) sad to watch? Maybe not. Still, the Pirates have now lost six straight and appear completely out of the playoff picture.
The Notables
-An announced crowd of 21,203 took in the festivities.
-Bailey's pitch count was a touch high; he finished with 78 strikes on 116 pitches for the night.
-The Reds are off Thursday before beginning a series in Miami on Friday. Bronson Arroyo (12-7, 3.66) goes for the Redlegs against Marlin rookie right-hander Jacob Turner (1-3, 6.44) who has struggled since being acquired in the Anibal Sanchez trade earlier this summer.

I'm sorry but I can't stop myself replying to the posting by Lemuel Abarte about sexist language and how we need to interpret within our own language rather than provide literal translations of the Greek.
The issue is just not that simple. There are occasions when ANQRWPOS is translated by 'man' in most versions where the Greek is clearly gender non-specific. Therefore to say that the problem is simply with the reader is wrong - the translation has suggested a male-exclusivity that is not present in the text.
I think that your reading has more to do with Lemuel's sociolinguistics in his understanding of language - this is shown by his example of women bishops - he has determined that the proper translation for EPISKOPOS is bishop when this is clearly not the case in every instance of the word.
Translators translating gender non-specific term in the NT or OT into gender specific terms in English versions are violating the Word of God and marginalising those who do not see themselves included within such gender specific terms.
Of course, the whole problem is that the new Inclusivist versions are also translating gender specific terms into non-gender specific terms and that's where the problem lies.....

Festivals in Thailand – Hungry Ghost Festival
Paper offerings – Thailand Hungry Ghost Festival
Do you know that the Hungry Ghost Festival or Zhong Yuan (Por Tor) Festival is an important merit-making event for the ethnic Chinese in Thailand. Since ancient times, the Chinese believe that the gates of hell are open between the 1st and 30th day of the Chinese lunar 7th month. During this period hungry ghost are allowed to wander on earth to look for food. People made offerings to the ghost in the form of special food, flowers, paper money and candles to please the beings. All the Chinese Shrines in Thailand have their own Hungry Ghost Festival celebrations.
Food offerings (Thailand Hungry Ghost Festival)
This year, the Hungry Ghost Festival starts from August 17th and ends on September 15th.

Scottsdale Comedy Spot presents BOB KUBOTA!
Bob Kubota began his career as a stand-up comic in 1987 while still a student of journalism at Arizona State University. Encouraged by virtually no one, he honed his particular idea of humor at "open mike nights" sponsored by various saloons and bistros throughout the greater Phoenix area. Within two years Bob was "on the bill" for paying customers at legitimate comedy clubs. Only then did he let his parents know that his life dream didn't include bar exams – just bars.
His penchant for dry wit, lighthearted sarcasm and deciphering life's ironies has led him to the majority of the contiguous 48 states as well as Alaska and Hawaii. The sly take that he has on his own ethnicity continually proves to be a popular feature of his act. In 1996 he became an international performer when he joined the United Service Organization (USO) and now tours regularly with the "Comics On Duty" (Davis Entertainment) providing comic relief to American military troops stationed around the globe. Bob has now spun his material in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bahrain, England, Iceland, Hungary, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Diego Garcia, Australia, Haiti, Honduras, Cuba, and many more. He has also performed in Hong Kong for English-speaking residents of the city's bustling business and finance community.
Bob has apeared on nearly a dozen comedy programs featuring stand-ups, from Comedy Central to A&E and MTV.
Mr. Kubota is also a world-class exponent of deceptive sleight-of-hand. Do not play cards with him. He currently resides in Phoenix, Arizona with Ilene, his wife, Nancy, their corgi-mix, a laptop and a golf swing that he built himself.

Delta Battery Seeks, Waits for Mad Mortarman
By Sgt. 1st Class Todd Oliver
AL HAWIJA, Iraq — The men of Delta Battery are in search of the "Mad Mortarman."
Well, that's not exactly true. The 173rd Airborne Brigade's artillery unit has an idea where he is and he certainly knows where they are. It's just that the boys of Delta are hoping to drop in on this man, drop a 105mm howitzer round in on him to be exact.
From the nearby town of Al Hawija, the Mad Mortar Man lobs both mortar and artillery shells and rockets at Forward Operating Base McHenry, home to 1st Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment. The men of 1-12 are friends of Delta Battery you see and like any good friend Delta Soldiers are a little ticked that someone is trying to kill their comrades.
Without making light of the situation, they did the only thing a bunch of artillerymen could do; they dragged their guns out to the FOB and waited.
They still wait.
But they're the patient kind, and they're confident they'll get the Mad Mortarman.
It's just a matter of time.
"The initial plan was to be here for a day," said 1st Lt. Kyle Barden, Battery Fire Direction Officer. "The base was getting mortared a lot, so we wanted to come out here, get an acquisition, shoot back and hopefully get the Mad Mortar Man. We realized that wasn't feasible and are going to be here an undetermined amount of time."
From the look of things, according to Barden, the base was being bracketed. The Mad Mortar Man was getting smarter, and the smarter he got, the closer he was getting to the unit.
"He knows what he's doing. He was getting more and more accurate. He had rounds fall short of the FOB and other rounds land far. They (1-12) already had their 120 mm mortars out here, but they brought us out for the extra firepower and the extra reach."
"The 120mm mortars response time is not as fast as ours," said Delta's 1st Sgt. Frank Marcantonio. "And the mortars can't reach as far as we can. Our counter fire time is just a lot quicker."
Dust, as fine as talc, covers the ground five inches in most places at Forward Operating Base McHenry. It gets everywhere and it gets into everything.
Where the dust isn't, there is only barren rock. The ever-present HESCO barriers line the compound. For those who have never seen a HESCO barrier, imagine a brown paper shopping bag with a wire frame built around the outside. Got a clear picture of that? Good, now fill the bag with dirt. Finally imagine that same bag five-feet wide, five-feet deep and five-feet tall. It looks like a giant grocery bag for a giant that dines on dirt. They are everywhere in Iraq, near areas used by coalition forces and they ring D-bat's compound inside FOB McHenry.
The soldiers affectionately nicknamed their compound "Texas." Inside the command post, a large Texas flag hangs, tribute to the home state of Battery Commander, Capt. Jackey Howard.
Outside, adjacent to a large burn pit used to dispose of trash and human waste, the FDO continued explaining the battery's mission. Tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles clank by on a nearby dirt road kicking up large, choking clouds of the ever-present talc. Barden is covered in the stuff; everyone is covered in the stuff.
"We do two things, we shoot harassment and interdiction fires or we shoot counter fires," Barden explained.
By using sophisticated radar systems, the battery is able to determine from what location artillery or mortar rounds or rockets are being fired. This system, theoretically, should allow the battery to quickly kill anyone firing at them.
The rockets are jury-rigged and fired from unconventional platforms (a fancy term for a dirt hill), this makes the tracking of their trajectories all the more difficult. Still, the Mad Mortar Man can be tracked.
"He knows that if he hides in the town, we won't shoot back," Barden said. "We just have to be 'on it' and we need some luck. Not only do we have to be on it, he has to be slow."
Marcantonio doesn't think luck will have anything to do with it.
"No, not luck," he said. "We just have to get cleared to fire."

I couldn't say it better, so from the ArcGIS Help:
"The SearchCursor function establishes a read-only cursor on a feature class or table. The SearchCursor can be used to iterate through row objects and extract field values. The search can optionally be limited by a where clause or by field, and optionally sorted."
Looking Object Model of SearchCursor() we see the following:
Let do a example:
import arcpy
fc = arcpy.GetParameter(0)
rows = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc)
for row in rows:
print 'hello rows!'
del rows
This is a very simple example where the end user would provide a feature class as an input and the output would be displayed for each row in the rows object.
Not only is it import to understand cursors, but it's also important to understand what a cursor object will give you. It's a collection of Row objects. Row Objects have collection of methods that include getValue(), setValue(), inNull(), and setNull(). The names pretty much explain what each function does, but here is a graphic to explain it better:
value = row.FieldName
Though there is nothing wrong with this, I do not prefer this method. I prefer calling the row method getValue().
value = row.getValue("FieldName")
Also remember, you cannot set values with a SearchCursor(), if you need to alter or add rows/features use the Update or Insert cursor objects.

For the first five innings, CC Sabathia was cruising along and it seemed he was the CC of old. Unfortunately, he imploded in the sixth inning, giving up four runs as the Yankees fell to the Red Sox 4-2 at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
CC Sabathia went seven innings, giving up four runs on six hits while striking out nine. In the sixth inning, Jonny Gomes tied the game at one, only for Grady Sizemore to deliver the big blow for the Red Sox in the same inning, hitting a three run home run into the left field seats. Cesar Cabral walked a batter in the eighth before Adam Warren retired three straight batters. Dellin Betances pitched a scoreless ninth inning while striking out the side.
The Yankees didn't have many opportunities off Red Sox starter Jon Lester except for a home run by Alfonso Soriano in the bottom of the second and a RBI single by Kelly Johnson in the seventh.
What's Next?
— Hiroki Kuroda will take the ball for the Yankees as they attempt to take a 2-1 lead in the series. John Lackey will make the start for the Boston Red Sox. First pitch is at 1:05 p.m. and the game will air on the YES Network.

Innovation on Telehealth Services Market Size – Industry Trends, Forecast 2015 – 2023
Modern world is shifting from the age old concept of conventional medical treatment to technologically well-equipped treatment services. Thus the concept of telehealth services is gaining attention. In telehealth service there is an exchange of remote data between the patient at home and their doctor(s) to assist in diagnosis and monitoring patients with long term ailments. Among other techniques it includes fixed or mobile home units to measure, analyze and monitor body temperatures, blood pressure, sugar level and various other vital parameters for clinical evaluation at a remote location by using phones or wireless medium. Telehealth services have increase awareness among the individuals about their own health assisting both the patients and the doctors. Telehealth is advantageous in a way that it reduces the number of patient visits, thus saving time and also is a very cost effective service and thus can be availed by a large number of population.
Doctors and clinicians, by this service can constantly monitor and guide the patient about their long term ailment, ultimately reducing the mortality rate. Moreover, it has also lead to drastic decrease in incidences of emergency admission. This has changed the perception of conventional medical practice, which forms the major driver for the market. Telehealth is not only restricted to long term ailments, but also has a wide range of applications like dentistry, counselling, physical and occupational therapy, disaster management and consumer and professional education.
Request For Sample Copy Of Report : https://www.marketresearchreports.biz/sample/sample/1352280
The rate of using telehealth services is influenced by many factors such as the availability and cost of existing conservative health services in meeting patient requirements; the requirement of medical licensing, the policies of governments with respect to coverage, and payment for telehealth services. Modern techniques are being administered in telehealth service market like store-and-forward method, real-time, remote patient monitoring, remote training, and electronic consultation. With the use of all these techniques, telehealth service market is gaining popularity. However, certain restraints such as high installation charge can hamper the market growth in the forecast period.
The global telehealth services market can be segmented on the basis of type, application, end users and geography. The segment type can be further divided as clinical and non-clinical. Clinical uses comprises transferring medical data for diagnosis or disease management, advice on prevention from diseases, promoting good health, and using telephonic medium while dealing with emergency conditions.

Campbell out as MHS CIO, Gates to close Defense CIO's office
Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., also puts a hold on the nomination of Dr. Jonathan Woodson to be assistant secretary of Defense for health affairs.
The Military Health System on Aug. 5 abruptly transferred its chief information officer to a temporary assignment at the Defense Department's office of the chief information officer, an organization the department will soon shutter, Nextgov has learned.
Multiple government and industry sources confirmed that Charles Campbell was detailed to the CIO's office, also known as the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration, this month, but Pentagon and MHS spokesmen did not reply to queries for official confirmation as of press deadline.
Sources told Nextgov that Mary Ann Rockey, MHS deputy CIO for acquisition, will take over Campbell's duties while he is on a 120-day assignment at ASD/NII.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said at a press briefing on Monday that he planned to eliminate ASD/NII in an effort to cut $100 billion from the Pentagon budget during the next five years.
In the wake of Gates' plan to eliminate the technology office, Campbell's transfer to ASD/NII looks like he is being pushed out of a top management position, said sources familiar with the transfer and who asked to remain anonymous.
At about the same time Gates was making his announcement, Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., put a hold on the nomination of Dr. Jonathan Woodson to be assistant secretary of Defense for health affairs. Woodson said at his confirmation hearing on Aug. 3 that he considered development of a new electronic health record for Defense one of his key priorities. Woodson is a vascular surgeon who practices at the Boston Medical Center in Massachusetts and is an associate dean at Boston University.
Tara DiJulio, a spokeswoman for Wicker, said the senator put the nomination on hold because he was concerned about an amendment to the Senate version of the fiscal 2011 Defense authorization bill that would allow military servicewomen to obtain abortion care at military hospitals even if they use their own funds. Wicker spent most of his time at Woodson's confirmation hearing to voice his opposition to the amendment, which Sen. Roland Burris, D-Ill., sponsored.
DiJulio said Wicker did not believe Woodson adequately addressed concerns about the impact the amendment would have on military hospitals, and he will keep the nomination on hold until Woodson provides detailed answers to questions the senator asked at the hearing.
Campbell's transfer puts development of a new Defense electronic health record system on hold and leaves a leadership vacuum for the Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record, a medical record for all service members and veterans that Defense is creating in conjunction with the Veterans Affairs Department, sources told Nextgov. But the move will make it easier for Woodson to pick his own CIO when and if confirmed, sources said.

Budgets & Birth Certificates
A couple items popped up on my radar screen Wednesday that probably didn't get much attention in the local media, so here they are now.
Marion County Sheriff Frank Anderson is reportedly rebuilding his office's gang unit and traffic branch. I'm confused as to why Anderson is doing this. Most of his enforcement duties were transferred to the Mayor's office last year when Ballard took over IMPD. However, if Anderson does have the manpower to duplicate the functions of IMPD, maybe his office doesn't need as much money and can have his budget cut as the Administration looks to cut $20 million to balance the budget.
And just so you don't think I'm picking on Democrats today, 5th District Congressman Dan Burton has gotten my attention as well and I can see why so many people are running against him.
Burton has agreed to co-sponsor a bill that would require candidates to show their birth certificates to prove their citizenship. In other words, Burton has joined the Obama "not really a citizen and why won't he show us his birth certificate even though if we saw it we would call it a fake" crowd. A spokesman for the Congressman says the bill is a good idea because "If candidates provided that information to the Federal Election Commission you wouldn't have all this hullaballoo. You don't want to needlessly expose presidents to crazy conspiracy theories." No offense but from the stories that have been running around the 5th District for years regarding Burton you would think he would be the last person talking about birth certificates.

Gorgon Sisters - Uncolored Ver Picture
I've never done a tribute to mythology before, so I decided to give it a whirl. This one is a tribute to the Gorgon Sisters, Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale. I was so excited when the picture was inked, that I had to upload the uncolored version. So, here it is so far in black and white. It's a little dark, as I didn't bother to lighten it in any program. So far, it's looking great. Medusa is in the center, with Stheno to her left, and Euryale to her right.Continue Reading: Medusa

Neon Genesis Evangelion was a GAINAX project featuring director Anno Hideaki (who the heck is Anzai?!) and character designer Sadamoto Yoshiyuki.
Neon Genesis Evangelion started its "serialization" on Kadokawa's February 1995 issue of Shonen Ace. The manga is done by Sadamoto Yoshiyuki.
Neon Genesis Evangelion started airing on TV Tokyo from October 4, 1995. This is directed by Anno Hideaki, with character designs by Sadamoto Yoshiyuki.
Why? You get more profits and royalties that way if both the anime and manga are done by the same company. Sadamoto Yoshiyuki also will get more royalites by doing the manga and the character designer for both the manga and the anime. And even you get a slightly higher percentage of royalites paid out by the publisher if the manga was released before the anime rather than vice-versa.
The manga version of Neon Genesis Evangelion is serialized very seldomly on Shonen Ace though. It has been over nine years since it was first published but it has not been finished yet.

A different kind of company
Over the years, I have talked to many who say they are surprised at Melaleuca's unprecedented rise in the marketplace. They often ask what the secret is to our success. The answer is simply that we have much better products than the grocery store brands. It has led Melaleuca to become a world leader in quality wellness products. People want to live healthier, longer and more vibrant lives. And they find Melaleuca products are a great asset in achieving those goals.
This comes because our business approach is to emphasize quality over profits. Our founding axiom of "exceptional products at reasonable prices" has served us well in keeping us focused on both quality and value. We have decided that if a product isn't superior to the competition, we won't sell it. Before Melaleuca decides to bring a product to market, our business group needs to be convinced that it is either 1) a much better product than the competitors or 2) we can deliver equal or better quality at a much better price. If it doesn't meet either of those criteria, we won't sell it.
Additionally, by operating under a different business model than the mass marketers, Melaleuca uses no middlemen or retail outlets or advertising campaigns. We manufacture our products ourselves and ship directly to our customers. The money we don't waste on those activities allows us to incorporate effective, natural, and safer for the home ingredients into our products and to produce far higher quality products at extremely competitive prices.
Because of these factors, almost all of our 350 products are significantly superior in effectiveness, quality, and safety to any of our competitors in the marketplace. There are hundreds of very good reasons to choose our products over the grocery store brands. Our customers point out that many of the grocery store brands violate their trust by compromising quality ingredients or dilute their products with water or other fillers to reduce their costs. When people are dealing with their health, they don't want to make compromises. And they know that Melaleuca will never compromise on product effectiveness or safety. Because of the constant pressures of the mass manufacturers to lower price and quality, the demand for Melaleuca's superior and far more effective products in on the rise.
We promise to keep our commitment to always provide the best so you can have a healthier, longer, and more vibrant life.
—Frank VanderSloot, Chief Executive Officer, Melaleuca

It's Texans blue for Underbelly chef's tootsies
Published 6:11 pm, Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Houston's hottest chef, Chris Shepherd, is into pedicures. The co-owner of Underbelly is a man's man, a definite carnivore (his restaurant was built around the concept of an in-house butchering room) and a Texans fan. He's also completely OK with sitting in a comfy chair in the back of his favorite pedicure place, the Isle PediSpa, sipping a glass of white wine and having his feet scrubbed, soaked, slathered, waxed and his toenails painted Texans blue - on his day off.
Q: You come here once a week?
A: No, not enough. I used to come here quite a bit. I get a pedicure if I can, when I can, but this is home and heaven to me.

Q: Did you have any reservations when you got your first pedicure?
A: Yes, absolutely. It was weird. I'm very curious. "You're getting the power sander out?" I think I sat and apologized. A lot. I'm on my feet 15 hours a day, I'm sure there's a lot of callouses down there.
Q: Did you or your wife suggest this little ritual the first time?
More Information
Dishing with the chef
Preferred cocktail: vodka on the rocks
Wine preference: red in winter, white in summer
Guilty TV pleasure: "The Deadliest Catch"
Favorite vacation: two-week Mediterranean cruise
Monthly ritual: taking his cooks and their families to Sunday dinner at the restaurant of their choice
A: No, she did. Bring a bottle of wine, I can watch "SportsCenter," she can read magazines, just the way that made the day right.
Q: What was your typical day off like before Underbelly?
A: Come in here, relax for an hour, generally end up at Kata (Robata) for lunch, end up at Anvil for a cocktail. Or we talked to them (the pedicurists) about where we should go eat Vietnamese or somewhere in Chinatown, which Michelle (Nguyen, his favorite pedicurist) is well-versed in. To come in here, relax, watch "SportsCenter" and talk about food, to me, is the perfect day. Now it's a little bit more chaotic, so the timing is not always there.
Q: You're a Texans fan. Is that really the reason you chose Sundays as the one day Underbelly would be closed?
A: Yes, exactly. One hundred percent.
Q: You also tailgate. How does that work?
A: It's the same group of guys that get together every week. There's probably anywhere from 20 to 50 of us; it's not a big tailgate, but it's just done right. It's some of my old guys that worked with us (at Catalan), front-of-the-house guys, wine guys, it's customers, it's a lot of Catalan and Underbelly people. We'll see how this year's works out. It's probably gotten bigger this year. Last year was a little bit tough because I do the food, and I didn't have a kitchen last year. We'd shop all day, and then I would cook all night. Our house looked like a commissary.
Q: Have you ever taken any of your kitchen staff to get pedicures?
A: Antoine Ware (chef at the Hay Merchant, Shepherd's former sous chef at Catalan) and Matthew Pridgen, my general manager. I think most kitchen guys should do this.
Q: What did they think?
A: Antoine likes it. He'll go and gets his nails painted. He's cool with that.
Q: I can't help but noticing you have blue nail polish on right now. Do you get that every time?
A: Generally, it's always a Texans blue. I sometimes take requests from my friends' daughters. Randy Evans' (chef/owner at Haven) daughter, right before a vacation, said, "Get light blue; it's like the ocean." One time Bryan Caswell (chef/owner at Reef) called and said, "What are you doing?" I said, "Getting a pedicure." He said, "Hey, my daughter asked me if you could do purple." So I said, "All right."
It's funny because the second time we did this, I'm sitting here thinking, "Do I wear sandals, do I not wear sandals? How freaky is this?" And it was going to the farmers market and having a guy just stare at my feet. Then, the next week, he was like, "Did you change colors? That's why I come to the farmers market. I want to see what color you're going to have. That's how my wife gets me here." So I started to change the colors up. If that guy's going to go support the market, then I might as well do that. And now, it's quite hilarious because people will just look down and be like, "You paint your toes?" And I say, "And you have tattoos." I can change this, you know?

Council bigwigs get fat cheques
2012-09-16 09:53
Jeanne van der Merwe and Athandiwe Saba
Treasury data reveal double-digit increases, while clerks and cleaners forced to settle for 5.5%
Many of South Africa's municipal bigwigs scored double-digit salary increases, while clerks and cleaners had to settle for a 5.5% pay hike.
That's according to Treasury data City Press analysed to explore how municipal officials across South Africa are paid.
City Press compared the total budgeted salary packages of senior managers in the 2009/10 and 2010/11 financial years.
This revealed that increases of 15% and more were not uncommon – and some councils paid their top staff increases of 40% or more.
During this period, municipalities across the country ground to a halt during a 10-day strike called by the SA Municipal Workers' Union (Samwu) over pay demands.
The figures are published yearly by the Treasury and must be signed off by two senior officials from the individual municipalities, which provide the data to Treasury officials.
Among the highest increases recorded in the data are:
» A 64% increase for the manager of Thaba Chweu Local Municipality in Mpumalanga – from R830 211 in 2010 to R1.3 million last year.
The municipality disputed the number, but did not provide alternative figures for the years in question.
It said its manager currently earned R870 000 per year.
The municipality was also the scene of service delivery protests earlier this year.
» Bonjala Platinum District Municipality, the scene of last month's Marikana mine killings, reported a 31% increase in the total package of its municipal manager – from R1.17 million in 2010 to R1.54 million last year.
The comparisons showed many double-digit increases in rural municipalities.
In most metros, managers' increases were modest, except for Ekurhuleni's municipal manager and chief financial officer, who received increases of 21% and 19%, respectively.
For Tshwane, both posts' packages shrank over that period.
In July 2010, wage increases for municipal workers rose by 5.5%, 1.5% above inflation, following a wage agreement signed the previous year by the SA Local Government Association, Samwu and the Independent Municipal and Allied Trade Union.
Earlier this year, a pay rise of 7% was negotiated for workers, with 1.125% above inflation next year plus 1% in 2014.
However, municipal managers and their deputies fall outside of this process.
The regulations governing municipal managers' salaries require that their yearly increases be linked "to a cost-of-living adjustment based on market indicators, which is not performance based".
Two municipalities justified double-digit increases to managers by saying they wished to bring their managements' salaries in line with those of neighbouring municipalities.
The Western Cape municipality of Langeberg – which runs Ashton, Robertson, Montagu, Bonnievale and McGregor – increased its municipal manager's package by 17%, from R1 million to R1.2 million, while those of
the chief financial officer and three other directors rose by between 22% and 24%.
Residents of Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, shelled out 33.6% more for its municipal manager last year.
But the municipality's spokesperson, Hlengiwe Manqele, said this could not be seen as an increase, as the council had appointed a new manager on a new contract in November 2010 on a total package of 1.3 million compared with his predecessor's R988 000.
The town was the scene of a violent service delivery protest in 2010.
The Sol Plaatje Municipality in Kimberley, Northern Cape, budgeted a 17% increase in municipal manager Goolam Akharwaray's package – from R1.65 million to R1.94 million.
Allowances made up R410 134
of his total package in 2010 and R495 340 last year.

Bonnaroo 2009: Nine Inch Nails, Shadows Fall, Coheed and Cambria
Bonnaroo started in 2002 and has become the biggest music and arts festival in America. Slated for June 11-14, thousands of music lovers and tree huggers will meet at a massive farm in Manchester, Tennessee. Bonnaroo started with jam bands and now attracts top rock talent from around the world.
"Bonnaroo is a unique event because we were the first event to understand that today's fan has very eclectic tastes," admits Ken Weinstein, publicist for Bonnaroo. "They grew up liking all music. Not just indie rock, jazz, reggae, metal, singer/songwriter, world, hip-hop, but all of it, and they like it good and they have discretionary taste."
This year, Bruce Springsteen and Phish anchor the fest, which will also feature performances by Nine Inch Nails, Shadows Fall, Coheed and Cambria and The Mars Volta. Resident metal heads and hippies coexist peacefully for the four-day Bonnaroo run.
The key Bonnaroo experience? It's a tie between camping and greening. Festival goers are encouraged to car pool to the event and organizers sponsor trash and recycling contests.
"We have an incredible array for entertainment options to make for the best weekend of anyone's life — music, comedy, film, food, eco education and more," continues Weinstein. "Click you heels three times and repeat: 'There's no place like Bonnaroo.'"
Cost: VIP (two tickets, entire run of festival) – $1349.50; General Admission (four day) – $249.50; hotel and RV packages available.
