So far, Ohio University graduate student Tim Jackson is four months and just over 10,000 miles on his car into his project, and he's just scratching the surface.
Jackson, the film student following Creston/Orient-Macksburg senior Jake Marlin and Denver-Tripoli senior Brandon Sorensen in their quest for a fourth state championship in wrestling, said he's been surprised at how well all the pieces are falling into place for his documentary.
"All the pieces are falling into place amazingly well," Jackson said. "I went and interviewed all 21 of the previous four-time winners, and had no problems at all catching up with any of them. Everyone was very gracious with their time and their answers and everything."
Jackson said while that wasn't a major part of his project, it is nice to have that portion done so he can concentrate on the "meat" of his story – following Marlin and Sorensen and finding out who the two of them are as people.
That little side project saw Jackson take trips to New York City, Chicago, LaCrosse, Wis.; Arizona and Minnesota, along with trips across the state of Iowa.
But, he said, those 10,000 miles have all been "good, quality miles."
Jackson said following two of the state's top wrestlers has been a learning experience for him.
"I'm starting to understand the scoring and the basics and tendencies that happen during a wrestling meet," Jackson said. "That's the easy part. The hard part is finding out who these kids are. It's not a surprise, but it's always like something new every day. You kind of discover little things about these two guys as you go along."
One of the most interesting things Jackson has learned so far is how different Marlin and Sorensen are, noting how Sorensen ran cross country in the fall, to help during wrestling season.
"When he was done with cross country practice, he would go do his weightlifting, and then go work in his wrestling room," Jackson said. "Jake takes a different approach. He's maybe a little more well-rounded, I would say. He goes out and hunts with Keaton (Hulett) and his friends. He's got other interests going on outside of wrestling.
"Both of them end up at the same point, but it's definitely two different routes to get there," Jackson continued. "Which is fun for me. It's an interesting dynamic that we get to add into the film."
But, one similarity Jackson has found is that both are "laser-focused" when they enter the wrestling room.
End goal
Jackson said he plans to continue filming through March 1, at which time he will pack up all his things and move back to Ohio to start the editing process.
"My best guess at this point is I'll probably have 1,000 hours, if not more, that will need to get edited down to 70 minutes," Jackson said. "So basically 100 times more than I'll need, when it's all said and done."
Jackson will spend most of the summer editing, and hopes to have a rough outline done by July 1. At that time, he hopes to bring in a composer to create a score for the documentary.
His next goal, is to have a solid cut done by September before spending the next two months doing fine cuts before burning it out to DVDs.
He hopes to have it finished by November.
"It's like five steps down the road," Jackson said. "The saying we have at school is 'you have to have a miracle to get a film made.' And, it's not just a miracle, but like four or five or six miracles. I have to get through the shooting first and then everything else."
It's still a long time down the road, but Jackson said he hopes to take the film to film festivals, and also to bring it back to Denver and Creston to show the community in a sign of appreciation.
By that time, it's hard telling how many miles he'll have put on his car.

On the wiki there is not reference to obtaining Pumpkin Seeds there or on the Pumpkin page. Can you get them without finding them in chests? If not does this mean they are not a renewable resource?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Edit: Minecraft 1.0 has added the ability to turn Pumpkins into four Pumpkin Seeds each, by placing it into the crafting grid.
Currently, the only way to obtain Pumpkin Seeds is to find them in Abandoned Mine Shafts; you can't craft them like you can Melon Seeds. This means they aren't a renewable resource like Melons are. (I think this was intentional by Notch to keep Pumpkins a rare item.)
In 1.9, you can just stick a pumpkin into the crafting grid and make pumpkin seeds!
In your world, pumpkins can spawn randomly. So if you find those pumpkin, you can change them into pumpkin seeds in 1.5.2.

Joseph Poole, better known as Wednesday 13 (born August 12, 1976), is a rock musician from Charlotte, North Carolina. He is most famous for his role as the frontman of the Murderdolls. He has also played in several other bands, including Frankenstein Drag Queens from Planet 13, Wednesday 13, Bourbon Crow and most recently Gunfire 76. Poole currently resides in Los Angeles, California. Poole is a fan of campy horror movie parodies and mildly macabre TV shows such as The Munsters and The Addams Family (the latter being the source of his "Wednesday" moniker), which influence his tongue-in-cheek lyrics. He also created a set of cartoon characters with his ex-wife called the Thirteen Dead Kids, which was released as a clothing line. A book was supposed to be released, though this was halted due to Poole's touring schedule and the lack of publisher.

Where do organized religions go wrong?
I identify with the idea that humans are built to transcend themselves to contribute to the group as a whole. Organized religion is a bridge that allows those who have similar values and morals to come together and to help others grow. But how would we explain things like the crusades or the Spanish inquisition in this context?
Does the transcendence that a group experiences fall apart at an individual level then rebuild itself into a mutated version of the original? or does some other process occur that twists the collective masses into behavior that is clearly against the original purpose of the group?
Barry Palmer
Jan 12 2013: For many years, the answer to this has seemed obvious to me. Religions go wrong by utilizing a power structure. Power corrupts. Many religions have no power structure, and those religions seem to remain closer to their original purpose and have fewer problems.
- +2
Jan 12 2013: G'day Barry
Utterly agree mate......once they start dominating through political power structures & alike they are no longer serving man but themselves, true religion is of service to the people not the other way around I believe.
MathewJan 15 2013: Paul, As an example ... the Catholic church is steeped in blood, wars and corruption. Does that make the Church a bad thing or have people abused their positions and used the power of the church to further their own desires.
Going to church does not make you a christian any more than standing is a walk in freezer makes you a steak. If you like what the church stands for and you wish to be a part of that ... then join. But do not be surprised that some of the members are not there for the same reason you are ... or that they are not as pure as they would like for you to believe.
Because of the faith required in religion it has been the target of con men for centurys. I admire faith but would be cautious of "blind" faith.
I would avoid anything with a title like the Church of Whats Happening Now. Join at your own risk. I do not blame the church when a member runs afoulf of the law. Did the church go wrong or did the member?
I wish you well. Bob.Jan 13 2013: Organized religions don't allow the necessary changes in their practices that coincide with changes in society. Their practices are as ancient as the religion itself. They need to adapt to how much growth society has been through.
Jan 13 2013: G'day Joanna
Yep I would have to agree totally......there are a lot of old religions out there sticking by their dogmatic doctrines which really don't suite a more literate society.
I worked in the welfare arena for a few years & I had this young Asian lass come up to me & asked me if she should become a Christian, I said that was up to her & for her to choose whatever is going to be more comfortable for her but I advised her to stick to Buddhism as it's part of who she is.
About six months later I saw her again & she said to me " I went to a Christian church but found it difficult to understand that everyone came from Adams rib", she went back to her Buddhist ways.
Gail .
Jan 12 2013: I think that the term "organized religions" is too vague. There are some organized religions that do not "go wrong". These do not have power hierarchies. They do not demand that you turn off your innate thinking abilities in order to become sheeple. They do not demand relinquishment of freedom in exchange for voluntary slavery. They do not use fear as a weapon. In fact, they do not use weapons.Jan 12 2013: When i think of religion I believe it is a conduit for people to channel something that is innately part of their humanity. Fancy words for the idea that people feel spirituality on a most fundamental level then find something to help them connect to it and the world around them.
- +1
Do you think that the leaders who were the spearheads for the religious atrocities across the centuries were true believers and, if so, would we chalk up their actions to their individual insanity or to the organization itself?
Gail .
Jan 12 2013: Interesting question. I think that the answer lies in the "when" factor. If you have already turned a population into sheeple, and have convinced them that hell awaits for those who do not support you, then the responsibility lies on both the corrupt leaders (who may sincerely believe that they are right because that is what they have learned) and the sheeple (who may not know that they have agreed to terms that are unconscionable because they grew up thinking that crusades are holy ventures and the highest and most greatly rewarded expressions of faith)Jan 12 2013: G'day Paul
- +1
Yes the leaders where & are true believers, how many priests actually took part in torturing? Many by the order of the pope that these people be redeemed in some way, what are Islamic fundamentalists doing today? These people aren't expressive of the main stream Islamists but can be very influential to an illiterate society as was the pope, bishops & priests in the dark ages.
These religious fundamentalists truly believe they are doing the lords work to the bitter end which of course makes no sense to the true teachings of these religions. The creator is all accepting & anyone who is not of this mind themselves to some extent is not true to their faith, no fundamentalist is true to their faith.
Why were the dark ages the dark ages? Fundamentalist religionists trying to rule the world through the illiterate.
MathewJan 11 2013: It could be something to do with the power of charisma. A charismatic figure - whether a God or politician - can lead groups of people into collective ideals, good or bad.
There's also the issue of group intelligence versus autonomous intelligence. Individuals tend to be far more enlightened than any group to which they might belong. Also the bigger the group, the more subordinate the individuals within it become, ripe for a charismatic leader to lead them into any religious or political ideal.
Self-transcendence starts out as an autonomous state, but if there is a commonality of profound experience, then it gets embodied into a single entity - a God. Couple this to the 'dilution' processes seen in group behaviour, then it's easy to go on to suppose that the original autonomy would erode into compliance, no matter what that God goes on to represent.Jan 11 2013: Ethicalist religions which teach you to find your spiritual path within tend to be much less prone to abuse. Theistic religions which have en externalized locus of morality tend to be prone to having a person or groups of persons claim that they and they alone can interpret the will of "god". Having an almighty powerful, invisible and otherwise silent deity on my side allows me to command people to do all sorts of things they would not otherwise do.
Religion serves a valuable series of social purposes. But, we need to encourage a more ethicalist take on them for them to avoid doing more harm than good.
Peter Law
Jan 11 2013: I agree with John Smith; below.
- +1
If each individual could educate themselves & decide what they believed that would solve a lot of problems. Trouble is the coercion & peer pressure that is more the norm. Then governments decide to invade countries which have a different belief & impose their beliefs on that country. Before you know it the whole world is at war.
On a personal level folks usually get on fine & tolerate each other's beliefs. Politics have the same problem; we swing from left to right & back again. Why can't we have common sense politics & pick the best of both worlds ? The human race seems to be bent on self destruction; organised religion is but one excuse, but there are many others.
:-)Jan 15 2013: I beleive in spirituality and that to have a belief in something greater than ourselves is a positive thing. The problem is, 'Religion' is not so much about spirituality and having a personal connection to whatever God you beleive in, and has become more about power, about profit, about dictating how people should live, or even how they should pray. For me, I feel closer to God in a field of wildflowers than I ever would in a Church and though I have made mistakes in life and have not always been perfect, I know God forgives and would not prevent punish me for my failures, because he knows my heart, knows that ultimately I am a good person who does not ever want to cause harm.
Organised religion goes wrong mostly because of fixed ideas, differences in interpreting books that were written by men, not God's, and powerful religious leaders loosing site of what is important and taking advantage of the powerful position they hold. I beleive that there is no God who would look at the religious wars that have been fought through history, or the killings carried out in the name of religion and think, yeah, that's what I was aiming for. So much of the worlds Hate comes from people who refuse to accept beliefs different from their own, and decide that if you are not like us you are evil and ungodly. Bah. I accept all religious beliefs and beleive that at the core of all religions, the same messages apply. It is about love, family, respect, generosity, forgiveness, and doing no harm, through killing, adultery, or anything else that could cause someone physical or emotional harm. It is usually only the extremists who take the words and distort them to fit with their hate and judgements.Jan 13 2013: The original teachings where more flexible & more accepting & tolerable like the teachings from Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad & so on, what went wrong from there was man with his inflexibility to accept other beliefs beside his. Isn't God/the creative source all accepting? & so should we by now, it just shows you how inflexible & non-accepting we are, it's not the religion or spiritual belief itself that's inflexible & non-accepting but man who rights up doctrines that are inflexible & non-accepting which have caused numerous religious wars in the past & present.
MathewJan 12 2013: Most religious & spiritual concepts/ideologies are sound if one keeps to its initial teachings instead of changing these teachings around to serve ourselves; the real question here isn't if religion & spirituality is flawed in some way but how we have allowed such radical fundamentalists to run the show?
Comment deleted
Jan 13 2013: I suppose radical fundamentalists are more exciting, if it feels good it must be good but of course that's not the case like with pornography, drugs & even stealing & killing can feel good to some, I do wonder sometimes in how literate we really are.Jan 12 2013: Love is the foundation of every acceptable service.
"Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world". (James 1:27)
Religion focuses too much on keeping rules; Love is a better and perfect way.Jan 12 2013: About the question: your premise is that religions went wrong. As a whole, it didn't go wrong.
Religions are in fact "social control frameworks". They mainly exist to lead mankind in a certain direction and to provide a sense of belonging. It's a necessity to avoid social chaos. Some clever but unethical people used it to gain power and wealth. The religions itself did not go wrong: The religious leaders did.Jan 12 2013: G'day Paul
This is a very good question, how did Christianity come from such placid teachings through Jesus, Moses & others like them to the crusades, Spanish inquisition, 30 year war & South America & so on? Just like so many other religions it lost its way through power, corruption & greed which aren't ratified through most genuine original religious teachings.
Most religious doctrines teach acceptance & tolerance & with these teachings one would never have a need to be conflictive but we are only because of our own short fall, we just don't practice what was first preached but what is being preached at the time even though it goes against the initial teachings of that religion.
Jan 11 2013: Beliefs systems are a touchy business. Nearly impossible to explain and therefore to agree upon - unlike science where A +B = C, and so on which seems clearly rational. I would agree with most of the previous respondents. Religions go wrong by trying to exist as organizations in a secular world. Trying to 'do good' and in need of money with professional practitioners. From what I know, religion's 'kingdom is not of this world' and should stay that way, to be known only in our homes, as a forum of conduct and/or hope for us to choose or not.Jan 11 2013: Boy, dude, you've packed a lot into this question. Just your first sentence could be a topic, "Are humans built to transcend themselves to contribute to the group as a whole?"Jan 11 2013: Religions went wrong when people came together and chose to fabricate the author of their ideas and classify the author and the writings as infallible.
- 0
There we set a stage where ignorance MUST by definition be applied in ever increasing levels because where as society, thought, education, progress, laws and values evolve over time, they're still bound by archaic ideology that no longer fits, but has to, because its 'infallible'..
Eventially the whole model breaks down and some people cherry-pick, some people disregard all of it and some people revert to the original in its entirety and all hell breaks loose. (Excuse the pun).
Gail .
Jan 12 2013: Well put. And funny at the end ;-)Jan 11 2013: Another interesting conversation! Great! It's interesting seeing all these other people's perspectives. Forgive me for bringing religion into this discussion about religion, but my church takes a very unique stand on this. I'm a Christian, but my particular sect views Christianity during the period of the Dark Ages as having strayed. In other words, the church established by Jesus was doing really well until people took advantage of it. It stopped being God's church and became a man's church. Any religion created solely by humans is going to contain a lot of truth and do a lot of good, but it will be ultimately flawed and prone to being hijacked. Even a lot of churches God has established in the past have been hijacked too. So even after Jesus came and set up God's church again, people started power-grabbing and corrupted it a few hundred years down the road. Thus the Crusades and the Inquisition and the Dark Ages. It was all a mistake. But God always comes down and starts another church. So my answer to this question of what's wrong with organized religions is that they're not God's church. And just like communism or nuclear power, those good ideas got commandeered by evil people.Jan 11 2013: They go wrong when they reject, ignore, or modify the Holy Bible which teaches: "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment." [First Corinthians 1: 10 KJV]. The Holy Bible does not foment divisions and strife and yet that is the product of every one of the thousands of the world's religions. The Holy Bible has it right.Jan 11 2013: Sharon, Peter, and John below likely have more experience with organized religion than I have, so I can put forward only a hypothesis rather than a well-supported observation. A problem arises whenever people take the position of looking scornfully on the different beliefs of some "unenlightened" other, regardless of the source they believe they have for their certainty that they are right- religious or otherwise. A diagnosis that the other is unenlightened, ignorant, unwilling to be educated, threatened by the right-thinking person or his right belief and so forth... these narrow-minded postures are divisive regardless of whether they derive from an institution or a person's personality.

Jan 11 2013: Do you think this is a function of a group survival instinct?
Jan 11 2013: Is there a group survival instinct or only individual survival instincts? We will see what others say.
Barry Palmer
Jan 11 2013: Just my opinion, but I think this attitude reflects deep personal insecurity. That insecurity can easily spread among a group, especially when that insecurity is due to balancing on a straight and narrow beam, with paradise on one side and hell on the other. There are many religious people with very loving, open attitudes. Those who look down on others suffer from a common human weakness, but the content of their beliefs is not wholly blameless.
- +1
Fritzie -
Jan 11 2013: I can go with Barry's idea that insecurity can be an issue. There is a circumstance in which a person's entire sense of identity is based on something- a world view, belief, or self concept, and calling that worldview, belief, or self concept into question risks leaving that person lost and miserable. People may go to great length, then, to protect these bedrocks of their identity, including antagonistic behaviors toward those who see the world differently or question their views or authority.
- +1
As Barry writes, while religion may be involved for some people, for other people it can be other forms of group identification that they protect by caricaturing some "other" negatively..Jan 11 2013: "Where do organized religions go wrong?"
By being organized. Having a hierarchy where a small group of old, out of touch people get to interpret holy books for you is disastrous.

The Bucs, who have seen Kenneth Rotich (Nairobi, Kenya) claim the last two individual conference championships on the men's side, will be familiar with the course as ETSU competed on the same terrain two weeks ago at the USC Upstate Invite. Unfortunately, Rotich is no longer with the men's squad after graduating last May, and his cousin Ben Ronoh (Sotik, Kenya) will be the Bucs' threat to claim a third straight individual crown. Ronoh finished second behind USC Upstate's Gilbert Kembio at the preview meet back on Oct. 16.
As a team, ETSU won the 2008 A-Sun title after defeating in-state rival Belmont by six points; however, Kennesaw State dethroned the Bucs last year down in DeLand, Fla. The Owls captured their first-ever cross country title by recording 40 points, while ETSU placed second with 82.
Once again Kennesaw State enters as the favorite since the Owls led wire-to-wire in the coaches' poll throughout the entire season. Kennesaw State picked up 10 of the 11 first-place votes, while Belmont jumped ahead of USC Upstate for second.
Meanwhile, on the women's side, senior leader Caitlyn Epps (Cookeville, Tenn.) will guide the Lady Bucs on Saturday morning. Epps paced ETSU all season and the Cookeville, Tenn. native is coming off 17th-place effort in Spartanburg, S.C. two weeks ago. In addition, freshman local product Kayla Kuziola (Johnson City) placed 22nd overall at the USC Upstate Invite.
Jacksonville, the reigning conference champion, enters the meet as the top team. The Dolphins won the 2009 championship as they put a stop to Belmont's three-year run at the top.
The women's 5K race begins at 9 a.m., while the men begin their 8K run at 10 a.m.

I've been thinking about this a while. Miller needs to come out with a wireless foot pedal for there tig welding machines. It's such a pain in the rear when you have I don't know how many electrical cords all tangled up around you and your torch but for whatever reason for me it is the dam foot pedal that bugs me. Seems like I'm always curled up like a pretzl in some kinda vessel or welding pipe on a vessel and this dang foot pedal is tangled up everywhere. so yeah come on guys come up with a wireless remote foot pedal I think other will agree it would be nice. I know some of you may say oh use a hand control well I have they s*ck I don't like them

Looking at the schematics of my foot control.................
It would take about $250 worth of parts from Parallax(bluetooth Rx & Tx stuff,and a processor or two to run it all)..........
And finding someone on Parallax.com's message board to get this done, which might be costly also.
Dont know for sure if that'll work in the presence of an arc either.
Actually I would prefer a helmet that reads your thoughts and shapes the arc and controls the amps and all that good stuff, but I think that one is still a few years off tho.SYNCROWAVE 200

Considering the HF arc starter is enough EMI to trip arc fault GFI outlets within 8ft, I'm thinking radio controlled amptrols have a distinct operating problem.
I used to think it was due to the circuits the welder shared with the sub panel, but today I tripped a pair of them on the other wall which isn't fed by anything remotely tied to the welder sub panel. Then again, maybe Leviton made them too sensitive.Syncrowave 250DX

Listen up Miller, This man makes a good point. How hard could it be? I'd pay up in a second to not have to wrestle with another cord. Positioning my foot control with a wire attached to it is a pain. A remote foot control that you could attach to your boot would be awesome. Make it as small as a foot and put some resistance in it to where you really had to apply some pressure to it it to change the heat. Sounds like a good idea to me. AdamWebb's Welding and Repair LLC

Hey if we are going wireless make sure they make wireless adapters for SMAW as well. The pipeline guys would go nuts for them!
As for wireless MIG, I already made one of those a little while back. It happened accidentally, like all good inventions. I was welding on a custom job in the shop and had it supported with pipe jacks. The project was eight feet tall and I needed to give it a little push up right in the middle so I placed another pipe jack on top of my welding table. As soon as I was done I released the pipe jack and subsequently knocked it off the table, right on top of my MIG lead, severing it. Viola! instant wireless MIG. The amperage seems a little low now, but that can be worked out.

Peter C. Murrell, Jr. is a Professor of Urban Education at Loyola University Maryland. He is the Founding Dean of the School of Education, and served as dean from 2008 to June 2011. Currently he is the Co-Founder and Senior Associate for Research and Development of the Alliance for Community Teachers and Schools, where he leads the design and delivery of the organization's Communities of Practice professional development programs for urban school districts. Dr. Murrell consults with urban school districts in major cities across the country to develop systematic solutions to the challenges of elevating the quality of teaching and learning in diverse urban schools and communities. Dr. Murrell's research focuses on the role of social identity in academic proficiency and intellectual developing in learners as well as their teachers, and shows how to promote development of academic identity and racial/cultural identity in the varied social contexts in urban schools and communities.
He has authored several books, numerous articles and book chapters on the theory and practice of building culturally centered learning communities for teachers and students, including The Community Teacher (Teachers College Press), African-Centered Pedagogy (SUNY Press) and his most recent monograph Race, Culture and Schooling: Identities of Achievement in Multicultural Urban Schools (Lawrence Erlbaum). As a member of the American Association for Colleges of Teacher Education's TEAM-C (Teacher Education as a Moral Community) and working committees of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) he is actively engaged in the development of new models of teacher preparation and professional development.

Dr. Murrell's research examines issues of the identity, intellectual growth and human development. Trained in the areas of cognitive development, human information processing, and the inter-disciplinary study of resilience and efficacy, Murrell examines issues of the development of social identity and scholastic development through various forms of social engagement in communities of practice – exploring the role these forms play in enculturation and cultivation of scholastic proficiency and educational resilience. His research on the cognitive dimensions of resilience and efficacy explain the intersections of social, cultural and symbolic contexts in the development of learners and teachers conjointly.
Currently, in collaboration with the Boston Public Schools and the Baltimore Public School districts, Dr. Murrell is investigating the development of adolescent literacy ability as it conjunctively emerges through the professional development of those educators working with adolescents. This dual-strand inquiry seeks to uncover how deep pedagogical knowledge combines with content knowledge in the development quality clinical practice in urban contexts.

epic / theme
The epic relies on narrative technique, even when in musical or visual form, to expound upon the larger-than-life. Length, depth, complexity, and grandeur characterize the epic, which does not seek to elevate itself to alienating heights. Epic denotes a masterful treatment of the heroic and the moral. It takes the long, historical view; it exploits symbolism to the full; it sweeps, cries out with a million voices, augments color and emotion.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

Police searched Leonardtown High school and two courthouses Thursday morning in St. Mary's after receiving a call of a bomb threat. No devices were found.
Bomb-detecting K-9 units from St. Mary's, Calvert and Charles counties searched the circuit court, district court and the high school. As of 9:30 a.m., the circuit courthouse had been given the all-clear, according to the St. Mary's sheriff's office.
The high school was given the all-clear at 10:34 a.m. after being on lockdown for about two hours, Mike Wyant, director of safety and security for St. Mary's schools, said from the emergency command center in Leonardtown. Students and staff remained in classrooms during the search, he said.
The county's emergency communications center received one call at 8:10 a.m. of a bomb at Leonardtown High School as well as the circuit and district court buildings in Leonardtown, according to the sheriff's office.
The school system posted an emergency update on the school's website at about 8:30 a.m. saying law enforcement had informed the school of "a potential bomb threat at Leonardtown High School and several other locations in Leonardtown."
The circuit court downtown was evacuated Thursday morning until a search confirmed no presence of a bomb, according to the sheriff's office.
District court, per instructions from a judge there, was not evacuated, according to the sheriff's office.

Ok so I was playing a game the other day, and I needed to go back to my internet browser alot, but the game wont let me minimize it, and it doesn't have the ability to make it windowed in the options, or with the -window command. I was wondering if any one knew of a program that would either let me make fullscreen games/programs run windowed, or have a window that I could like run the game inside that would make the game become windowed... let me give an example
(click on that image to make it bigger) As you can see in the picture, calc.exe is inside the notepad, pretend notepad is the program I'm talking about, and calc is a fullscreen game, well you run notepad(the windowed maker) and when you open you hit a button and a box opens, and you goto the .exe of the fullscreen game, and double click on it. The game now loads inside of the notepad(windowed maker program). I hope I am not confusing anyone.

Clementine was the first U.S. spacecraft launched to the Moon in over 20 years (since Explorer 49 in June 1973). Also known as the Deep Space Program Science Experiment (DSPSE), the spacecraft was designed and built to demonstrate a set of lightweight technologies, such as small imaging sensors, for future low-cost missions to be flown by the Department of Defense. Clementine carried 15 advanced flight-test components and 10 science instruments.
After launch, the spacecraft remained in Earth orbit until 3 February 1994, at which time a solid-propellant rocket ignited to send the vehicle to the Moon. After two subsequent Earth flybys on 5 February and 15 February, Clementine successfully entered an elliptical polar orbit on 19 February with a period of 5 days and a perilune (closest approach to the Moon) of 400 kilometers. In the following two months, it transmitted about 1.6 million digital images of the lunar surface; in the process, it provided scientists with their first look at the total lunar landscape, including polar regions.
After completing 297 lunar orbits, controllers fired Clementine's thrusters on 3 May to inject it into a rendezvous trajectory in August 1994 with the asteroid 1620 Geographos. Due to a computer problem at 14:39 UT on 7 May that caused a thruster to fire and use up all propellant, the spacecraft was put into an uncontrollable tumble at about 80 rpm with no spin control. Controllers were forced to cancel the asteroid flyby and return the vehicle to the vicinity of Earth. A power supply problem on 20 July further diminished the operating capacity of the vehicle.
Eventually, lunar gravity took control of Clementine and propelled it into heliocentric orbit. The mission was terminated in June 1994 when falling power supply levels no longer allowed clear telemetry exchange.
On 3 December 1996, the Department of Defense announced that Clementine data indicated that there was ice in the bottom of a permanently shadowed crater on the lunar south pole. Scientists estimated the deposit to be approximately 60,000 to 120,000 cubic meters in volume, comparable to a small lake that is 4 football fields in surface area and 5 meters deep. This estimate was very uncertain, however, due to the nature of the data.

Our office will bring a contempt action against an obligor only after all other enforcement procedures have been exhausted, and if we believe we can show the court that the obligor had the ability to pay something toward the support obligation but failed to do so.
To initiate a contempt proceeding, we obtain an order from the court requiring the obligor to appear in court on a certain date. This order must be personally served upon the obligor prior to the hearing date. At the hearing, the obligor is advised of the right to contact an attorney, and of the right to a court appointed attorney if the obligor cannot afford to hire one. The hearing may then be continued or postponed for thirty or forty-five days so that the obligor can meet with an attorney.
The obligor will sometimes make a payment proposal to the court, and if acceptable, the court may continue the hearing for another few months on condition payments be made. If the obligor states he or she is employed, the court will most often continue the hearing on condition a wage withholding order issue to the employer. If the obligor is unemployed, the court may order him or her to diligently seek employment, and the hearing will be continued for a month or two on condition the obligor advise our office when employment is obtained.
Our goal in bringing a contempt action is to get the obligor to pay support. An obligor may appear in court several times before this goal is achieved, either by the obligor obtaining employment, or by making voluntary monthly payments. If the court finds the obligor has had the ability to pay support but has failed to do so, the obligor may be found in contempt. A jail sentence of up to six months or some other sanction may be imposed at that time, or imposition of sentence may be continued on certain conditions. If the obligor has completely failed to cooperate, and has not met the conditions of the court, the court may order the obligor to serve the jail sentence, with the option to be released if support is paid.
When an obligor cannot be found to be served with the contempt citation, we attempt to locate the obligor. Please be sure to keep our office advised of the obligor's last known address. If we believe we know where the obligor resides, but service of the paperwork cannot be completed for some other reason, we may write to the obligor, advising he or she contact us to discuss the case to avoid the issuance of a warrant. If there is no contact and no payments are made, we may then issue a warrant for failure to comply with the support order.
When an obligor is served but fails to appear at the contempt hearing, we ask the court for bench warrant authority. We then write to the obligor requesting he or she contact us. If no contact is made, a warrant for his or her arrest will be issued. We have no way of knowing when the sheriff will arrest the obligor, but when that happens, the obligor is taken to jail and may be released to appear in court at a later date.
Occasionally, the obligor will contact our office after being served with the contempt citation, but prior to the hearing, and make arrangements for payment of support. We may then agree to continue the hearing for three or four months, on condition the payment arrangement is followed. If the obligor complies with the payment plan, the contempt hearing may be postponed indefinitely, as there is no reason for a hearing if payments are made. However, if the obligor does not comply with the agreement, we expect him or her to appear on the scheduled hearing date, and we will advise the court of the obligor's failure to pay as agreed.

A friend had some Betsy and I loved the bottle, so gave me some for my birthday. That was 6-7 years ago and it's the only fragrance I have worn since. I just love it and get so many compliments, equally from both genders. The scent lasts all day. I highly recommend it .....

My boss ordered this and when she got it in I tried it and loved the scent. So I ordered some for myself with the lotion. I love to wear it.

For me this is a good fragrance, it reminds me slightly of Burberry Brit. IF you like a more intense fragrance that will last all day with woodsy under tones on the finish and a more spicy start then i would defintely reccommend this to you.

I bought this as a gift for my mother who is obsessed with betsey... She wears it every day now and I compliment her every day. it really is a wonderful fragrance. Flowery and citrusy but subtle and not over powering. We love it!

I am working on three separate works for three different audiences. All are non-fiction. One is for children ages eight to twelve, another is for teens ages fourteen to twenty, and the third is for adults. Is it recommended that different names be used, or should they be published under one name?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Writers Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for authors, editors, reviewers, professional writers, and aspiring writers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
They are all non-fiction, but what are the topics they are covering? If they are all something like, history books or biographies, there is no harm in using the same name for all three.
Non-fiction doesn't seem to have the same issues with crossing genera or age ranges that fiction does. So unless there is a pressing reason to try and keep them disconnected, I would just write them all under the same name.

Animation, Family, Comedy
In the hilarious new animated-adventure, Ratatouille, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the city of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen at one of Paris' most exclusive restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini, the garbage boy, who inadvertently discovers Remy's amazing talents. They strike a deal, ultimately setting into motion a hilarious and exciting chain of extraordinary events that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down. Remy finds himself torn between following his dreams or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef.

Ana takes on American world No.55 Lauren Davis in the second round of the Sony Open Tennis in Miami on Thursday. It will be the first meeting between the pair.
20-year-old Davis is a player on the rise. Though ranked 55th in the entry list, she is 32nd in the Road to Singapore, the rankings that only take into account matches played this year.
Davis' 6-3, 6-2 win over Chinese world No.41 Shuai Zhang on Wednesday was her 14th victory of the season so far, including qualifying matches. Her confidence is seemingly sky high: last week she achieved the biggest win of her career by beating world No.4 Victoria Azarenka 6-0, 7-6 in the second round of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
Miami hasn't been a very happy hunting ground for Ana: she was a quarter-finalist in her debut year of 2005 but has not reached the last eight since. That said, she has only ever once lost in the second round, in 2007.

Ease #2: a-ha discovery (me embarrassed)
So, there was no need to measure pattern pieces, ahem - I am embarrassed. I wasted time stated on the pattern anyway. The bust measurement for the finished garment is 94cm, waist 73cm. The body measurements are 87 and 67cm respectively. Which gives us 7cm ease
Apparently, all Vogue patterns are marked in the same way. So, here is the tip of the day: read instructions. It's all there: the circle symbol with a cross inside "indicates Bustline, Waistline, Hipline and/or Biceps. Measurements refer to circumference of Finished Garment (Body Measurement + Wearing Ease + Design Ease). Adjust pattern if necessary." A-ha - I will indeed.
For those who are wondering why this matters, read yesterday's post
Did you have an embarrassing moment in your sewing that you may not feel ashamed of to share?
8 comments:
Um, well, I never realized that's what those measurements were telling me before. So I guess I'm in the same boat :-) (Thanks for the info.)ReplyDelete
The only reason I ever learned about these measurements was because I had the same frustration as you. I guess this goes to show that sometimes frustration in sewing leads to good things :)ReplyDelete
Yes...I consistently have problems getting my button overlap correct....it's rather frustrating. I know women's is right over left and yet I still manage to switch it about. Fortunately I have not done this on a clients garment...just mine...just mine.ReplyDelete
I always open the patterns, find those measurements and then mark them on the instructions for easy reference. Um, but then, there was a time I DIDN'T know that. But I guess if you almost always draft your own patterns then that's not something you'd think about.ReplyDelete
True they cite final measurements on the pattern but you can only see those after the salesperson stamps no return on your pattern cover and you go home and open the actual pattern (this sometimes happens so far in the future that the pattern is sold out XP). And that is when realisation hits-oh I need a size 4 not a size 8 and my pattern only covers sizes 8-12. Oh and the 4-8 version is now selling for twice the price on Ebay because its sold out everywhere else..ReplyDelete
It is due to this sort of awesomeness that I stick to Simplicity (on the rare occasions that I buy American patterns). While McCall's also mention finished garment measurements on the pattern cover, I have in the past found these measurements to be 'approximations' (made perhaps, under the influence of a cocktail of opiates by some poor unpaid design student intern).
Also your comments section doesn't work for openid or wordpress logins so you might want to install discus or have a name+url option for commenting.
- Silvia BMFebruary 15, 2012 at 7:46 AM
Thanks for sharing this. I didn´t know clearly. My embarrassing moment (one of many!) was yesterday...I made a muslin, then eventually cut the real silk fabric...and forgot to cut the center front on the fold! Thankfully I had a bit of extra fabric left.ReplyDelete
- Ruth ForresterFebruary 15, 2012 at 2:18 PM
As my husband ( and father) like to say - read the instructions first! Is this a male thing?ReplyDelete
However, it would easily explain why I have to take in at the waist every time. Thanks for pointing this out - I will take the ease into consideration next time. Actually, thank you very much for this.
I've just signed up for the Couture class, but spent ages trying to work out what size pattern to go for. After reading your posts on ease and the comments I've gone for the size based on my high bust measurement. Thank you for information. I'm looking forward to learning some new techniques.ReplyDelete

Lady Bucs gearing up for UNC Greesnboro
Friday, February 20, 2004GREENSBORO, N.C. (Feb. 20, 2004) -- The East Tennessee State women's basketball team practiced at UNC Greensboro this afternoon in preparation for Saturday's game verus the Spartans. If the Lady Bucs (12-11, 12-5 SoCon) are able to pull off a season sweep of UNC Greensboro (8-16, 8-9 SoCon)then they will also set the school record for conference wins in a season and inch closer to locking up the number three seed heading into the Southern Conference Championships March 3-6. Right now ETSU stands alone at third place in the league standings and has won its last four road games -- something the team hasn't done since the 1999-00 season. The Lady Bucs are coming off a thrilling 74-69 come-from-behind victory at Appalachian State last Saturday, which was also the beginning of their four-game road swing to conclude the regular season. However, finishing strong will be key for the Lady Bucs, who got off to a slow 0-5 start to begin the season. Center Tiffani Mayes (Sumter, S.C.) continues to make a strong case for SoCon Player of the Year. Mayes is the Lady Bucs top scorer at 15.3 ppg. and is the conference's leading rebounder with 9.5 rpg. UNC Greensboro enters Saturday's game tied with Western Carolina for sixth in the SoCon standings. However, eight of the Spartan's SoCon losses have come on the road, making them an impressive 7-1 in Greensboro versus conference opponents. UNCG's last loss in Fleming Gym came over a month ago, 68-55 against Davidson, and head coach Lynne Agee's squad has also pulled out big wins over Furman and Elon. It's no surprise that senior Jacinda Lambert is again the team's leading scorer. Lambert is averaging an even 14.0 ppg. with Amanda Eaton (10.8 ppg.) right behind. Eaton is also a dangerous deep threat and is the league's best free throw shooter, connecting on 85.7 percent of her foul shots. The Spartans will be looking for redemption on Saturday after suffering an 83-72 loss to ETSU in Johnson City back on Dec. 13. The Lady Buc victory halted a five-game losing streak to UNCG, but they still haven't won in Greensboro since the 1999-00 season. Overall, East Tennessee State leads the all-time series, 10-8, while head coach Karen Kemp is 6-8 all-time versus the Spartans. Click HERE for Game Notes.

The Southern Maryland Ospreys softball team, the Eastern Regional tournament runner-up, traveled to Myrtle Beach, S.C., for the World Fastpitch Connection Summer Nationals World Series, which was played Aug. 6 to 10.
The Ospreys played Buckeye Elite (Ohio) for the championship and lost 5-3. They played nine games in the tournament and finished with a record of 5-3-1. The tie was a 7-all draw to Buckeye Elite to begin the tournament.
The team beat the Coastal Cyclones three times, the Lady Wizards once and the Florence Fury once.
In the front row are Jasmine Smith, Emma Evans, Olivia Ford, Rachel Buffin and Alison Eichel. In the back row are coach Chris Doerrer, coach Lee Bassett, Courtney Bell, Jasmyn Ogletree, Ashleigh Head, Diana Cruz, Chloe Day and manager Al Ogletree.
