DENVER (January 24, 2013)—Bridgette Sandoval, 28, remained in the Jefferson County, Colo. Jail Thursday evening, facing a long list of charges in connection with a bizarre series of events that started with a high-speed highway chase and ended after a vehicle stolen from a Waco dealership crashed into a fence in a Denver suburb and the driver ran into a nearby business.
An arrest affidavit released this week identifies the woman who was driving the stolen car as Sandoval, and says she was arrested at an office complex after pulling a fire alarm and donning a janitor's coveralls.
The Chevrolet Impala sedan Sandoval was driving was stolen on Dec. 20, 2012 from Greg May Honda in Waco, the affidavit said.
Sandoval is charged with a list of offenses including aggravated motor vehicle theft, burglary, vehicular eluding, possession of burglary tools, driving with a suspended license, false reporting, reckless driving, obstructing a peace officer, and altered stolen license plate tab sticker, according to online jail records.
The series of events that led to the arrest started just before 10 a.m. on Jan. 15 when a Colorado state trooper spotted a BMW that had been stolen in Silverthorne, Colo., about 15 minutes earlier.
As he tried to catch up with the BMW on Interstate 70 in the Colorado mountains west of Denver, he noticed that a gray Chevrolet sedan was trailing it, the affidavit said.
He clocked the two vehicles at speeds in excess of 110 miles per hour, the affidavit said.
The trooper caught up with the two cars in traffic in Idaho Springs, but when the traffic cleared, both vehicles took off at a high rate speed, the affidavit said.
The driver of the Chevrolet passed several other troopers who had joined the chase, which a supervisor decided to terminate because of the danger to other motorists, the affidavit said.
"The Impala passed (the trooper), pulled in front of him and was driving erratically, weaving across the road, apparently trying to prevent him from contacting that BMW," Sgt. Mike Baker with the Colorado State Patrol said.
A short time later the Chevrolet crashed into a fence at the Denver West exit from the interstate in Lakewood, a Denver suburb, and the woman who was driving ran into the private office complex where, the affidavit says, she pulled a fire alarm and then donned a janitor's coveralls she found in a closet.
A witness said she also took a broom, dustpan and apron, the affidavit said, evidently in an attempt to disguise herself.
Sandoval was arrested outside the building at around 10:40 a.m. and was taken to a hospital.
She told investigators "she had been forced to take drugs by people over the last four days" and that "she had last injected drugs on the morning of the incident," the affidavit said.
"I know I am on drugs now," she said, according to the affidavit.
She said someone else had injected her with methamphetamine and heroin and "put me in a car and told me to drive…run and don't stop," the affidavit said.

Got this for my wife..
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Picked this cap up for my wife before a week of hiking in Utah. By all accounts she loves it, great ventilation and seemed to be UV resistant as the lighting bolt part she wears in her hair while on the trail wasn't red and raw. For the price you get the quality you expect from Arc'teryx. , though it wouldn't hurt them throw out a little gimmick of some sort. My wife once had a Cabelas outfitters cap that was very similar but had little sleeves on either side of the temple for securing the bows of your sunglasses. That cap was every bit as nice as this one while costing about half the price, but it met a tragic end on a canoe trip awhile back.
Great hat...very well ventilated and comfortable. The logo is reflective on the front as well!
Love this hat!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I love the fit and look of this hat. It is lightweight, breaths well, and is stylish. Keeps your head dry in a downpour.
My Favorite Hat!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love this hat. Super comfortable and it breath well. I wear it almost every day. It's also my backpacking and fishing lid. It has lost some of the color on top but I think that's just because of how often I wear it.
Awesome Lid!

- Fit: True to size
I bought this hat given the brand's reputation for outstanding quality and after grueling conditions in western Colorado and Smoky Mtns National Park - it proved to be an exceptional product. I bought the darker color to avoid sweat stains and after several cleanings (in mild soap) - the hat retains its shape and color perfectly. It's very adjustable; has high quality material; and breathes very nicely. All around great value for the price.
Fits my melon-shaped head... dries quick
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought this hat for backpacking. Red hair and fair skin means I need to keep a cap on most of the time. And it keeps the rain off my glasses. (Wow, just reading my own writing here, it seems I'm much too delicate to venture outdoors!) On a recent trip, it rained and rained and my cotton ballcap soaked and never dried out. So, ordered the Accelero.
Fits very well... snug so it wont fall off your head, without the headache or discomfort. Sheds a little water, breathes really well, and dries fast. (Actually... it doesn't really ever get wet, per se).
I'd categorize this as a "shallow bucket" cap, but only just.
The clip and strapping on the back of the hat is perfect. Very Arc in its design: an open and close mechanism (that you can trust) with a nice tweakable fit (that doesn't loosen).
All the other wicking caps out there come in crazy colors and ugly designs. This one is really restrained.
Holding up well to lots of use.

Really nice hat. Have worn it for a few months for running and strenuous hiking. Definitely recommend it for comfort. Can be a little warm in high temperatures. I have a larger head and it fits well.

I love this hat. I was so upset when I lost my black one and it appears they don't make black anymore. But, I settled for a dark navy blue and it fits and looks great. I must have had an older model but this one is just as good. Lightweight, great fit for large heads like me and adjustable. It dries really quickly and the brim is perfect for sun and keeping rain out of your eyes. Fits nicely under a bike helmet and over ear protection. I want another one already.
Accelero in Nighthawk
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is my first Arc'teryx hat purchase. I like the fit of the hat, it is a "small bucket" hat which I like better than the taller baseball style hats. It feels very comfortable and does not have a rivet on the top of the hat. The sides are ventilated and are thinner than they appear in the pictures. The nighthawk color is definitely a dark blue vice the black/gray appearance on the web. The logo on the front is very reflective when a light hits it. Fit and finish is great. I have only worn it a couple of times, but so far it looks like a good piece of gear.
Decent hat, Nighthawk color is blue
The hat is pretty nice, but makes my head look a bit big. Also, I really wanted it in black, but FYI the Nighthawk color is definitely navy blue. The bill is a bit longer than a standard baseball hat, but it doesn't look dorky or anything like that.
Breathable and comfy.
I wear this while hiking, it is a very comfortable and well designed ball cap, with a startlingly water-repellant finish. The rear adjustment strap is stretchy and holds the hat in place even in windy conditions, without feeling too tight.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great Hat! It is now a favorite running hat. It seems to repel water? Did not read anything about that before I purchased it. Have worn it on several runs now that its cooler out. No stink. No salt lines, washes up easily by rinsing in sink. Sweat band does not dry as quickly as some, otherwise its awesome. I bought it in black so it may be kind of a heat magnet on warmer days.... Fits my smallish head perfectly.
I'd buy it again in a minute... And yes it is a good looking piece of outdork gear.
great hat!
The accelero hat is my favorite hat, its light,breathable and packable. Great for running, hiking, or just as a casual hat. Think I'm going to get another in red. I would highly recommend this hat.
Very nice and comfy hiking/running/post ride hat
Has worked very well for high output hiking and trail running and doesn't look too dorky for casual wear. No itchiness after a full day of wearing. Breathes much better than I was expecting after seeing the thickness on the top panels of the hat. It still traps some heat (getting the black one probably didn't help this a lot either) but much better venting than anything else I had. Seems to dry relatively quickly but can stay damp for ~ 1/2 hour - 45 mins. if you work up a good sweat in it. Doesn't seem to show sweat so far like other hats I've used for active endeavors would.
Stays put very well w/o feeling like you've got a vice on your head, thanks in large part to the stretchiness of the fabric and the elasticized adjustable strap. It is a form fitting and low rise cap, but covers down to about a 1/16" or so above my ears on my ~ 7 3/8 size head. Fits very well w/ any of my sunglasses/glasses on. The bill came w/ a nice shape and seems pretty beefy. It provides good coverage w/o being obnoxiously long/large.
Only complaints I have is that the sweatband could be a bit more absorbent (probably perfectly fine for lighter sweaters or those in more arid climates though) and the price could be a bit lower.
This hat has two sizes in arc'teryx's...
This hat has two sizes in arc'teryx's official website, S-M and L-XL. Why only "One Size" here? I have a really big head, and need a large size hat.
The official website is updated. Only one size now.
Is the Vermillion (red) color available?...
Is the Vermillion (red) color available? Can you add it to the drop down allong with the Coffee Bean color?
Currently it only is allowing the Wisteria.
what you see in the drop down menu is all they have.
What are the details on the Accelero cap?...
What are the details on the Accelero cap? Is it like the Accelero Pullover in that it uses stretch polyester that is windblocker and has the bamboo charcoal lining?Thanks.
Yes, pretty sure. Although it's not a fully windproof fabric, and really, it doesn't stretch that much. This comes from having an accelero pullover, and being familiar with the fabric.

What is the difference between these sentences?
- Your app may simply get lost
- Your app may simply lost
closed as too localized by RegDwigнt♦ May 7 '12 at 15:53
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The second sentence is incorrect.
Says what you probably want it to say: that it's possible an app will get lost somehow.
Is incorrect, but can be corrected to:
Says that the app is already lost somewhere.
"Lost" is an adjective. It modifies the subject of the sentence through a verb.In your second sentence there is no verb, therefore you will need to insert a verb to make the sentence grammatically correct.
You cannot shorten the sentence any more, because any alteration will changes the meaning of the sentence.
In the message "Your app may simply get lost", the action of the sentence is being performed upon the app, so if you change the sentence to make the app do the action (i.e. The app may simply lose), it completely changes the semantics of the sentence.
The first one looks grammatically correct. But its meaning depends on what you want to say: if it happened in the past, or if it's likely to happen in the future, require different structures; I think Rimmer provided a good explanation on this part.
The second one is totally incorrect. "May" is a modal verb and such category usually requires them to be followed by another verb without the "to", with the exception of "ought to" and "used to". See these examples taken from the OALD (and some added by me):
The word lost is the past participle of the verb lose. In the sentence "Your app may simply get lost" the verb phrase is "may simply get lost" where "get lost" is a verb structure known as a get-passive. It is a form of the passive voice that uses the verb get whereas the normal passive voice uses the verb be. (See this related question).
The second sentence "Your app may simply lost" is ungrammatical. The auxiliary verb may requires attachment to an infinitive verb phrase, and lost is a bare participle, so it cannot be used in that position.

It can be a challenge to find big and tall men's clothing. The local retail stores offer XXL, but perhaps not the variety or styles that some men desire. The clothes may be large and long enough, however, they may not fit properly in the neck and arms, waist or legs. Not being able to find an affordable retailer who specializes in big and tall clothing gives big and tall men limited options in their wardrobe. Thankfully Bealls has the answer.
Larger Size Shirts
Many retailers carry trousers with larger waists, as well as accompanying belts. However, standard, off-the-rack shirts do not properly fit big and tall men. Larger men need shirts with larger neck sizes, plenty of room for arm and shoulder movement and enough length to tuck into a pair of trousers. A specialty retailer such as BeallsFlorida.com can help the big and tall man find whatever he needs.
The Difference Between Big and Tall
It's important not to confuse the terms "big" and "tall." Men have different physiques. You may be heavier than the average size, but not tall. You could be larger in chest, waist and hip size. In clothing sizes, that is a "big" man. Tall men, who are 6'2" and over, may have longer legs compared to their torsos. So they may need higher-rise trousers.
When shopping for big and tall men's clothing, look for a "T" size, which signifies tall and means the dress or t-shirt is longer than a standard-sized shirt. Another size indicator is to look for XL-plus depending on the man's size and weight.
Easy to Find the Right Fit
Just like finding petite clothes for women, it can be challenging to finding big and tall clothing for men. Thankfully, BeallsFlorida.com makes the process easy. Simply browse our comprehensive selection of big and tall clothing, and try items on in the privacy of your home. Or stop by one of our stores for a personalized fit. If for any reason you are displeased, simply call our customer service representatives for a refund.
You can find a wide range of big and tall men's clothing at BeallsFlorida.com.

6 People Who Single Handedly Screwed Entire Economies
#3. William Paterson Ruins Scotland
The man: A guy who wanted to seize one of the most valuable pieces of land on earth.
The Impact: Blew a fifth of all the money in Scotland, forced it to merge with England to form Great Britain.
Anyone with that large a wig is up to no good.
The tiny little strip of land that connects North and South America -- where the Panama Canal is today -- is one of the most strategically important bits of land in the world. That was true even before there was a canal -- just look at a map and you'll see that the two halves of the globe need to cross that little strip of land if they want to trade (and not sail all the freaking way around South America).
It's a bit of a time-saver, is what we're saying.
If you control that shit, you have the world by the balls. So a guy in Scotland named William Paterson said, hey, let's start a colony there and we'll rule this shit. That seemed like a great idea to Scotland, which was in the middle of an economic disaster and in general depressed because it had been 400 years since Braveheart happened.
Money poured in from investors from all levels of Scottish society, 400,000 pounds sterling total. If that doesn't sound like a lot, let's put it this way: it was a fifth of all the money in circulation in Scotland at the time. In terms of impact on the economy, it'd be like if an American investor rounded up $400 billion in one risky scheme, or the equivalent of 20 Bernie Madoffs.
"Surely this will prove a safe basket for all our eggs."
In July of 1698, the first expedition to the Isthmus of Panama, carrying Paterson, his wife and his child, set sail. Colonists arrived and promptly erected 50 cannons and a fort. Boom! We control world trade, baby! That was easy!
Then people started dying. A combination of the hot season and tropical disease devastated the colony, and shipwrecks and delays prevented backup supplies from showing up. The colonists finally bailed out -- Paterson himself was nearly dead from fever and had to be carried onto one of the fleeing ships.
Glasgow University Library
All of his finest wigs perished in the voyage.
Scotland, not knowing that everything had gone to shit, sent another expedition of 1,200 people and four ships. Upon arrival, they found much to their surprise that a) the previous colony had gotten the fuck out of there and b) Spain had found out about their little scheme and sent a bunch of warships to put a stop to it.
And with that, Scotland realized that Paterson's plan had flushed a fifth of their wealth down the toilet. A few years later, Scotland would wind up signing the Acts of Union with England, based partly on England's promise to give them money to make up for what they lost on Paterson's scheme. The two united to form Great Britain and somewhere, William Wallace was spinning in his grave.
"All of that money would have been better invested in killing more British people."
#2. A Single Snitch Kills the Flow of LSD
The Man: A chemist who was making virtually all of the world's LSD. In a nuclear missile silo. Until he got caught.
The Impact: About 90 percent of the world's acid supply vanished overnight.
The impact on Phish ticket sales was disastrous.
Methamphetamine is so easy to make, rednecks in trailers are able to produce thousands of pounds per year with only a few dozen deadly explosions. The production of LSD is much more involved. It requires expensive lab equipment, a deep understanding of chemistry and precursor chemicals you can't find in your garage. At any given time, only a couple of people in the entire world are capable of actually producing acid.
From 1991 to 2000, almost all of the world's LSD was made by a respected chemist named William Pickard. He was the former deputy director of the L.A. Drug Policy Research Program and a former research director at UC Berkeley. Pickard viewed acid as a religious sacrament, and offered prayers before cooking up every batch. Since that cooking process often involved inadvertently dosing himself with hundreds of hits of high-test LSD, Pickard had a definite interest in ensuring its quality.
You try doing highly advanced chemistry under the influence of five hundred hits of shitty acid.
Pickard then partnered up with a wealthy pot dealer named Gordon Skinner. Skinner used his money to purchase an old Atlas-E nuclear missile silo. He turned it into the perfect post-apocalyptic luxury pad, complete with an $80,000 sound system and marble hot tub.
His goal was to establish a sort of hippy utopia, dedicated to manufacturing mass quantities of LSD and being a sweet ass place to crash after Burning Man. Pickard was drawn by the opportunity for a secure cooking spot and Skinner's promise to donate several hundred thousand dollars toward clinical research on psychedelics at Harvard.
Finding college age volunteers for an acid study would take about four minutes of standing on the quad with a clipboard.
But, before production could start, Skinner ran out of money. He was arrested in a casino, after he attempted to pass himself off as an Interpol agent. It's worth noting that Skinner was on a winning streak at the time. He basically committed a two-count felony for the sheer sake of being balls out crazy.
"Put it all on 'impersonating a federal officer.'"
Pickard realized Skinner was crazy and made the decision to move his operation out of the silo. But Skinner had sold out pretty much as soon as he was cuffed, and the Man was hot on Pickard's trail. As he drove away with all his lab equipment and enough ergotamine tartrate to make 15 million hits of acid, William Pickard was pulled over by the highway patrol and arrested for holding an entire Summer of Love worth of hallucinogens. He got a life sentence, and the government estimates that taking him off the street slashed the worldwide supply of LSD by 90 percent.
As for Gordon Skinner, the man who ruined a million parties? He got off scot-free. Although he had to sell the silo.
Damn the man.
#1. Augustus Heinze Crashes the American Economy
The Man: Just a guy who owned some copper mines in Montana, who had a get rich quick scheme.
The Impact: The stock market plummeted 50 percent and nearly collapsed the U.S. economy.
Above: Not the ketchup guy.
Every so often, a person comes along who is so talented at what he does that anything else he tries seems like a miserable failure. That's true for Michael Jordan's baseball career, and it was true for Augustus Heinze's career as a banker. He'd made his fortune as a copper baron in Butte, Montana, but, in 1906, Heinze decided to try his hand at making some real money. New York money.
For a while, Augustus did well. He served on bank boards all across the country and quickly ingratiated himself with the financial "scene" of the day. But then he and his brother Otto came up with a plan. A stupid, stupid plan.
New York is a city built on stupid plans.
Remember what we said about short selling in the earlier entry? Well, people were shorting stock in this guy's copper company, and Augustus and Otto figured, well shit, there's an easy way to fix that. We'll just buy up all the shares ourselves. Remember that short selling involves a promise to buy later, so the brothers figured, if we hold all the stock, they'll be forced to buy it from us. We can gouge the shit out of them and we'll be rich! Hell, why didn't anybody else think of this?
It worked. For a day. Shares of United Copper started at $39, and by the next day had shot way up to $60.
It was a good time to be copper.
But they had miscounted now many shares were out there, somehow, and the short sellers had no problem buying elsewhere. Everyone figured out what the Heinzes were doing and started dumping the stock. The price collapsed 85 percent, down to $10 a share. Heinze's brokerage house immediately went bankrupt, and that wound up being to the collapse of 1907 what Lehman Brothers was to the collapse of 2008.
The resulting chain reaction of disaster would be called the Panic of 1907, and the New York Stock Exchange plummeted to 50 percent of what it had been the previous year (basically, imagine if today the stock market fell by 6,000 points). Banks and businesses across the country started going belly-up by the dozen.
And that was the last time one man's greed ever crashed the economy.
Thanks in part to Augustus, the government saw fit to create the Federal Reserve in an effort to keep this sort of thing from happening in the future. Which, depending on how much Ayn Rand you've read, is either the savior of our economy or Satan himself.

Bring your indoor workouts to new heights with the Ascent Fluid Trainer - the perfect purveyor of quiet, smooth resistance on a rock solid frame. The fluid resistance unit provides a progressive, high intensity workout that will have you feeling the burn in no time. That's the beauty of the fluid unit - there's no need to worry about clamping a lever to your handlebars to adjust resistance as you simply use your bike's gears plus vary your pedaling RPMs to vary the workout intensity. It really does replicate what it feels like to ride outside! And it's quiet enough that you can enjoy whatever media you prefer while training without having to jack up the decibels to overcome an incessant, irksome drone.
It comes fully assembled out of the box, so just put the skewer in your rear wheel (the included rear skewer is optimized to fit into the fluid trainer's support cups - what you have already may not fit), clamp your bike into the frame and start pedaling away. This fluid trainer is perfect for indoor training at home when weather or lack of daylight puts a damper on riding outdoors and it's also portable enough to be the perfect means for getting warmed-up and ready to rock at a race.

Great trainer for my purpose.
By Sam
from Port Saint Lucie, Florida
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Ascent Fluid Trainer:
I purchased the Ascent fluid trainer since I am currently unable to ride on the road while recovering from eye surgery (doctor's orders). I can use the trainer as it provides a non jarring motion. It will also provide a great training alternative to riding on afternoons when it is raining heavily once I am healed. Ordering was easy and the product was received on the date promised. It was easy to set up and use and gives me a good workout and seems to provide resistance similar to riding on flat roads as are common here in Florida. Although it was relatively inexpensive compared to other fluid trainers I found advertised (especially since it was on sale at the time of purchase), I found it to be well made and very stable. I have only had it for a few weeks at this point so I cannot comment on its durability, but so far there have been no issues.Based on my experience with this purchase I would recommend the Ascent fluid trainer to anyone looking for a basic well made and inexpensive product of this type and Nashbar for their reasonable prices and good service.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good and affordable
By FRANCISCO
from Hazleton, pa
About Me Avid Cyclist
This trainer is easy to use and it has a manual that you can read before using the product, and also we have to take out the clincher of the bike and use the one that comes with the trainer, but don't worry, everything is included and the worst part it is that wear out the tires very fast, so be prepare to replace it once in a while. Overall, it is a great product.
very pleased
By gail
from Artesia, New Mexico
very quiet. great value. instant set up right out of the box. not my first trainer or purchase from Nashbar. they are a reputable company so I knew I couldn't go wrong.
Great for indoor workouts
By Steve
from Pascoag, RI
Great for indoor workouts when the weather turns nasty--esp. winter and during my allergy season. Good workout regardless of the weather. Will provide an alternative to the use of treadmill for working the legs.
Basically Good
By Andrew C.
from Branford, CT
See all my reviews
I hate to ride inside, but bought this with the expectation of next years snow covered roads. Ended up having hip surgery and one of my therapies was to ride a stationary bike or trainer, so I am getting good use out of it. It was easy to set up, stable, and works well. No bells or whistles, just basically good. If you ride only once in a while inside, it works great. I think if you want to ride all winter inside, you probably want to move up to a better unit. I really have no complaints. It does the job.
Fantastic quality for the price

Great trainer for the price. I use it for my indoor workouts and it is the quietest trainer I've ever used!

Just as good as CycleOps
By Diesel
from Pewaukee, Wisconsin
About Me Competitive Cyclist
Very affordable. The resistance unit is smooth and progressive. I sold my CycleOps trainer thinking I wasn't going to use a trainer anymore, but quickly regretted it. Bought this one to replace it and I am quite impressed. Also my first time buying from Nashbar, or anything online. I'm very happy with the entire experience. New wheels are next.
The trainer is what I expected.
By matt
from Charlotte NC
the first time I used the trainer I was surprised how smooth and natural it felt to use. It's easy to adjust the resistant on the unit. I recommend purchasing a floor mat to put under the unit to catch your sweat.

Much quieter and much more resistance than my air trainer
By Scott
I had an air trainer last winter and I could deal with the noise and the lack of resistance but decided it would be nice to have a quieter training experience. I was surprised how much quieter this is! I can watch and listen to training videos at about the same volume as while just watching TV. The resistance is about 4-5 times more than the air trainer. I am now maxing out at 90% of my max heart rate in my small chain ring in front and 5th cog in back. I was on the big chain ring and 12 tooth to get that heart rate on the air trainer. A much more enjoyable experience. This trainer is a bit choppy for the first minute or two but smooths out nicely for the rest of the training session.

Planning Applications - How do I comment?
Shortcut to this page www.birmingham.gov.uk/planningcomments
You can submit your comments to us using Planning Online. Search for the application and click on 'Add Comments Here'. During the consultation period, planning application plans and documents are also available to view on Planning Online.
- What can I comment on?
We welcome any comments, whether in support of an application or objecting to it, but in making a decision we can only take account of planning considerations.
Comments received must relate to planning matters. These include:
- Loss of privacy
- Loss of light
- Intensity of development
- Design and appearance
- Highway matters, such as traffic and parking
- Impact on community facilities
We cannot take into account:
- Loss of property value
- Commercial competition
- Loss of view
- Disturbance during building work
- Land ownership disputes
Please note that we cannot acknowledge receipt of your comments and we cannot accept comments which include statements of a defamatory nature. If such comments are identified they will be returned and will not be taken into consideration in assessing the planning application.
Please also note that you will not be able to submit online comments for any invalid applications. Occasionally applications are subsequently made invalid due to the provision of incomplete reports. This will prevent you from commenting on an application you may have previously viewed. If you would like to verify this or require further information please contact us.
- Personal Information
If you make comments on a planning application, we do not currently publish these online, however they are available for inspection by the public and copies provided on request. Therefore you might like to ensure phone numbers, signatures and email addresses are omitted.
If you are requesting to speak at Planning Committee we may need to pass on your contact details to other speakers who have requested to speak on the same application. This is because there is a combined total of 3 minutes for all objectors to make their public address and the same for supporters of the application. Sharing the contact details allows requestors to collaborate a response together .
- How long do I have to comment?
We usually give 3 weeks for comments on a planning application, although in practice we accept comments up until the day the application is decided. We cannot guarantee, however, that late comments will be considered. The consultation end date is given in our letters, or any site notices and newspaper adverts, and on Planning Online.
- How do I find the application number?
The application number is on the consultation letter, or any site notice or newspaper advert. If you do not know it, you can search Planning Online for the site address.
- What if I need more help?
If you are housebound, need an interpreter, or have a disability that makes it difficult to view or understand the plans, please contact us and we will arrange further help.
- Can I comment another way?
If you do not want to use Planning Online, you can contact us by email,or letter to let us know your comments.
- What will you do with my comments?
We will make sure your comments are properly recorded and considered. Where appropriate, we will seek changes to the application to overcome planning concerns and if changes are made we may consult you again. If the application goes to the Planning Committee, we will tell them your comments. In all cases we will let you know the decision. Any comments made are available for public inspection, although not currently published to our Planning Online website.

I've heard the terms Roman Catholic and Irish Catholic since i was little, but i never understood what, if any, where the differences between the two. Why the differentiation of the two? What makes them seperate? how did they come to be seperate?

Irish Catholic is just a cultural distinction.
There is an Anglican Church of Ireland which might consider itself truly Irish-Catholic in the sense that on England they'd call themselves Anglo-Catholic. But, that's not what people mean when they say Irish Catholic, they mean Roman Catholic or as Catholics prefer to say, Catholic.
There are other countries/regions where having Catholic after the name is actually indicative of being another Rite of the church. Assyrian Catholic, Ethiopian Catholic etc... They are still in communion (subscribing to the same teachings) with the Church in Rome.
American Catholic, on the other hand, is a schismatic group that is not in communion with the Church in Rome.
The biggest difference is that Irish Culture, since the time of Saint Patrick, is so profoundly Catholic that almost everything in Irish Culture is colored by a Catholic influence. Moreover, the Irish are known for being Catholic (you've heard Ireland called "The Isle of Saints and Scholars", no?). The Irish also produced an abundance of religious vocations, including many, many missionary priests: in many parts of the world the first contact one might have had with an Irishman would have had a distinctly Catholic experience. That isn't to say that there aren't other Catholic micro-cultures (Sicilian-Catholic, Bavarian-Catholic, Hungarian-Catholic... with all of the very unique cultural influences they have) but the Irish are somewhat unique in that it's uncommon to find an element of Irish culture that isn't Catholic.
I was not raised Catholic, even though my father was raised Roman Catholic, since my home town is prominently a Roman Catholic town. He decided to let us decide for our own what faith or path to follow, most likely because of the abuse he and his class mates got from their priest, and before you stop reading, no it wasn't sexual abuse--it was violent, violent altercations between the Father and his students. Any way, I thought that would be relevant to know... I've traveled a good deal and met some great people, especially from Ireland, and they helped me in a way I can't express enough. See, I was without faith for a long time and the Roman Catholic way just didn't make sense to me--it's ok to do whatever you will and as long as you confess you're forgiven?!? That didn't work for me, so I searched and searched.
There is a huge difference between Roman and Irish Catholicism. A true Irish Catholic must not just confess, but earn his way back into God's graces, not by prayer or fasting, but through his actions. That is how a real Irish Catholic repents. But first and foremost, don't commit the sin to begin with, and I know that's not how things are in an imperfect world, but I've witnessed Roman Catholics actually state "It's ok if we do this--as long as we ask for forgiveness we will be forgiven"!! The Irish Men I know would be appalled at that statement as am I. Karma is for real, and the Lord pays attention!!
There is no difference between Roman and Irish catholic. They are all the same. they both belong to the same catholic CHURCH.
Actually there is no Roman catholic church, it's just the catholic church. the roman catholic is a RITE in the The catholic church which is composed of 23 rites
I am for example Maronite catholic and I still belong to the catholic church. All the rites have their culture and heritage, but in the end we all follow the pope. That's all!!!
God Bless you.
O - Whilst I agree (partially) with your quote i.e. "There is no difference between Roman and Irish catholic. They are all the same." Yes indeed - Irish Catholic is just a term or truncated way of saying "An Irish person who is of Roman Catholic faith".
However, here is where I beg to differ: The 'catholic' church does not in fact refer solely to the Roman Catholic Church; the word 'catholic' meaning of broad or liberal scope; comprehensive.

Although ultrasound cannot show it, there is now some hair on your baby's head and her eyelashes and eyebrows have grown. The pattern and color of hair growth has a significant impact on the overall look of your baby but this is not apparent on a scan.
Most women are understandably reluctant to buy a winter coat that will see them all the way through pregnancy and may well never be worn again. The good news is that you probably won't need one at all! You are likely to feel very warm toward the end of your pregnancy, and may find it more comfortable to wear plenty of layered knits rather than one warm coat or jacket. Layers can also be easily discarded if you become overheated while you're traveling.
You can also probably hijack some of your partner's wardrobe, and borrow a coat or jacket that will fasten over your belly if you're planning to be outside for extended periods. Alternatively, go to a local second-hand shop-you may well find a larger coat or jacket for a bargain price that will last the few weeks of your pregnancy.
Another thing to consider is wearing your own coat unfastened, with a long scarf hanging down to fill the gap.
Think about purchasing a large shawl or wrap, which will see you through the winter months, and keep you and your baby warm after the birth. Shawls and wraps are ideal for keeping you warm when your baby is in a sling, and also for unexpected breast-feeding sessions outdoors.
You'll need to be extra careful in the winter, when you're in icy conditions. Make sure you wear sensible flat shoes when you're out and about to reduce the risk of slipping and falling.
All pregnant women should be offered screening for anemia, which is done early in pregnancy (at the first appointment), and again between 26-30 weeks (see Blood tests). Generally, an iron-rich diet is advised in pregnancy and this is enough to prevent or improve anemia. Eat plenty of lean red meat, beans, dried fruits, dark green vegetables, fortified cereals, and bread. Try including a vitamin C-enriched food or drink in your diet, since vitamin C helps the body absorb iron more efficiently. Vegetarians need to eat plenty of eggs, legumes, beans, and nuts to boost iron supplies.
Taking iron supplements may be recommended depending on how low your iron levels have become.
If you're having two or more babies, you'll need to consider making some adjustments to your living space. To reduce the risk of crib death, it's best for babies to sleep in the same room as their parents but you don't need two cribs. You can put both your newborn babies to sleep in one crib (see ... Doctor), but this isn't recommended after they're three months old.
It's a legal requirement for each baby to have an individual car seat if you plan to drive them anywhere, including home from the hospital.

The 7 Most Insane True Stories of Neighbors from Hell
#3. Paula Ariail and David Anthony Johnson - The Grave Robbing Neighbors
In Jacksonville, Florida back in 2008, Paul Douglas was afflicted with an acute case of being dead alone in his apartment. With no friends or family to speak of, he could have remained undiscovered for weeks if it weren't for his plucky neighbor Paula Ariail from down the hall, who noticed his suspicious absence and went to check on him, discovering his dead body.
"Can I borrow some sug- oh..."
The shocked Paula immediately rushed to the phone and presumably put it in her giant loot sack, because why call the police to report a dead body when you can just steal everything around it? Over the next few days she emptied Paul's apartment, helping herself to his credit cards and checkbook, but was finally arrested after the cops found her driving around in the dead guy's car.
"I couldn't help but notice you ignored that stop sign back there. Also, you smell like a dead man."
David Anthony Johnson from Baltimore was in a very similar situation when his partner's neighbor, Frederick A. Kessler, Jr., died alone in 2004. But instead of just turning Fred's apartment into their own personal Big Lots like Paula Ariail, the two men decided the better course of action would be to bring Kessler back to life.
By settling Fred's taxes and mortgage bills, Johnson and his partner managed to keep Kessler alive in the eyes of the system for three fucking years. Before being discovered, they had opened a few credit lines in his name and emptied the man's pension fund for a grand total of $140,000. Basically, it's like David Leisure exhuming your corpse and stealing your wallet.
#2. Martin Kromov and Alexander Alexandrov - The Music-Induced Stabbing
To be perfectly honest, we've all probably had a neighbor or a roommate that we wanted to brutally stab to death after they listened to "Save Tonight" for the 80th time. Alexander Alexandrov (yep, his parents were apparently that lazy) lived that dream when he murdered the hell out of his neighbor Martin Kromov for listening to "Angels" by Robbie Williams over and over again for more than a week.
We suppose we should only list Alexander, since he was a murderer and all. But... we have to mention that Kromov's bad neighborliness rose to some pretty horrific levels leading up to it. To make it clear, we're not in favor of murder at all, but the man supposedly spun that single song more than 4000 times.
Newer operating systems have contingencies to prevent this sort of thing.
So... yeah, on some level we're pretty sure that's enough to make anyone want to stab everything that has ever lived.
Then again, we would probably be a little bummed if someone burst into our house during the 70th consecutive playing of "Let Her Cry" by Hootie and the Blowfish and murdered us in the face. Currently, Alexandrov is serving a 16-year prison sentence for the unfavorable music critique he carved into Kromov's torso, because even in the archaic land of Bulgaria where actual human beings apparently still listen to Robbie Williams, baffling criminal defenses like "music induced insanity" don't fly in court.
#1. David Constantine - The Pathological Neighbor
When Stefan and Lucy Ward moved in next door to biker David Constantine in Lanchester, the couple might have quipped with that unmistakable British wit how they hoped the former Hells Angel wouldn't turn out to be... a neighbor from Hell.
"Jolly good!"
However, the jokes immediately stopped after Constantine launched a two-year long campaign of harassment and terror against the Wards, finally culminating in him framing Stefan for murder, all because Stefan was unable to help him move his motorcycle on a specific day.
Not pictured: mental stability.
With Constantine as their neighbor, being fired at by an air gun or hearing banging on the walls in the early hours of the morning became part of the Wards' daily routine. He made death threats, put up a barbed wire fence around their home when they were out of town, and smashed himself in the face with a frying pan, claiming Stefan attacked him (he then successfully sued Stefan for a thousand pounds).
It appears Constantine was pure evil.
The grand finale to Constantine's goose-fucking lunacy was getting Stefan arrested for attempted murder by stabbing himself in the chest with a knife and framing his neighbor for the crime. Luckily for Stefan, the police found an impressive collection of knives, axes and firearms at Constantine's house, along with a bunch of hate notebooks directed at the young couple next door. It became clear to the cops that Constantine was a dangerous maniac who should be strapped in a titanium straightjacket and dropped into a volcano, so the charges were dropped.
Meanwhile, Constantine still lives next door to the Wards, most likely plotting his terrible vengeance.

5 Ridiculous Natural Disaster Myths You Probably Believe
Despite all the advancements we've made in weather prediction, disaster preparedness, and sandbag technology, most of us are absolutely screwed if Mother Nature decides to throw a fit. That's why extreme weather has become a sort of boogeyman for humanity, one we love making the bad guy in action movies because we are terrified of how helpless it makes us feel.
And like any boogeyman, the urban legends and old wives' tales have completely outpaced the original threat. So let's take a minute to put at least five of those absurd legends to bed right now.
#5. Opening a Window During a Storm Relieves Pressure
Hemera Technologies/Photos.com
The Myth:
If you live in tornado country or have ever been through a hurricane, you've heard this one. When the storm comes, don't batten down the hatches -- open things up. Yes, some rain will blow into the house, but it will also keep the place from exploding like a wood-and-plaster balloon.
There's even some solid science behind it: Everyone knows that storms are caused by crazy pressure systems, and when those systems build into something as massive as a tornado or hurricane, you need to equalize the pressure. Otherwise, say goodbye to your roof, asshole!
Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images News/Getty Images
That roof was a prick anyway.
The Reality:
The problem is that they're exaggerating the pressure difference. After all, you don't need a space shuttle decompression chamber each time you leave your house in a storm -- and your fleshy body is a lot less structurally sound than a house. So if a storm isn't sucking the eyeballs out of your head, Total Recall-style, there's really no chance it's going to tear the roof off your house. It's the 150-mph winds that do that.
Also, it's not like your house is airtight anyway. It isn't like an airplane, which needs to have oxygen pumped in continuously to keep you from suffocating; every house has little holes and openings that allow air to move through, so opening your window during a storm isn't doing anything that the faulty siding or misshapen door frame weren't already doing.
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Including lowering your property value.
Actually, that's not true: Opening your window is allowing flying debris to come whipping into your house to rip your fucking face off. That's why opening a window during a storm, especially a hurricane or a tornado, is extremely dangerous. Most storms are a little like vampires in that they can't really get into your house until you invite them in, but once you open a window or crack a door, all manner of wind, rain, and debris that would otherwise be hitting the outside of your house is now swirling around your living room, too.
DTP/Digital Vision/Getty Images
It's a good way to get pets, though.
And in fact, the whole "preventing the house from exploding" thing is actually made worse by open doors and windows; allowing those winds to blow through a window is the equivalent of catching all that wind in a big wooden parachute. Boom: Goodbye, roof.
#4. A Giant Earthquake Will Cause California to Fall into the Pacific
Brand X Pictures/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
The Myth:
If you read any of the news stories about how California is due for a massive earthquake, they sound suspiciously like excerpts from the book of Revelation. They promise massive fires, gaping chasms, swallowed cities, and tens of thousands of deaths. While those prophecies are grim, they aren't completely unreasonable -- California exists squarely on a fault line, which is basically like a perforated line showing Mother Nature exactly where to tear.
If only Slim Jim wrappers were so consistently rippable.
This has given rise to the idea that it's only a matter of time before there's a quake so big, it shakes California completely loose from the rest of the United States, giving Arizonians some beautiful beachfront property. That was, after all, the premise of Lex Luthor's scheme in Superman -- a nuclear explosion would prematurely trigger the fault line and all of California would slide right into the ocean, leaving Lex's evil empire behind. Concerned people Google this subject so often that if you type the phrase "Will California ..." into the search box, Google autocompletes it to "sink" and "break off" as the first two results.
The Reality:
It can never happen. Yes, tectonic plates are a thing, and yes, land masses do move. But continents don't drift around the ocean like icebergs -- not only would it be impossible for an entire state to just snap off of North America, but the movement of the plates on the fault line is actually pushing them across each other, not tearing them apart. The Pacific Plate and the North American Plate are grinding against each other like young, unlubricated lovers rolling around in the sand. All the drag from the friction means that the movement is choppy, which is why earthquakes are just as common in California as silicone.
Creatas Images/Creatas/Getty Images
Like this, except with no water.
Even if the plates were pulling away from one another, there would still be a better chance of California getting obliterated by an asteroid before it sinks into the ocean because of plate tectonics. Tectonic plates have a blistering top speed of about 100 millimeters a year. That's just not fast enough to make a 163,696-square-mile state rip itself from the mainland and swim away, at least not until millions of years from now.
So the doomsday preppers are right that California is due for a massive earthquake, but it's more likely to force Los Angeles and San Francisco to share real estate than turn the whole thing into an island.

Although the combined weight of stand-still traffic might cause the planet to collapse on itself.
#3. Overpasses Protect You From Tornadoes
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
The Myth:
Everyone wants to feel like they have some semblance of control during a catastrophe. We all know, for instance, that if there's an earthquake, you get under a door frame; if there's a nuclear attack, you crawl under your desk; and, of course, if there's a tornado, you take shelter under an overpass. While these are primarily designed to give worriers peace of mind, that last one certainly makes logical sense, right? Getting under a heavily fortified bridge during any disaster could save your life. You'll never see overpasses collapsed and strewn around the Midwest in the aftermath of a tornado, and just look how well it works for these newscasters!
The Reality:
Unlike the completely useless advice of getting under a door frame in an earthquake or "duck and cover" in an atom bomb explosion, taking shelter under an overpass is actually much more dangerous than just trying to make a run for it.
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
Although it's still less dangerous than riding headlong into one on a unicycle.
See, by climbing up the embankment to the tiny space under the corners of the bridge, you're getting higher up in the air. The winds from a tornado accelerate with height, so you're actively throwing yourself in the most dangerous part of the twister. Additionally, that tiny space you're huddled in creates pressure -- a pocket like that acts to focus and intensify the wind speed (visualize a person putting her thumb over the end of a running hose). That means that a small tornado could suddenly develop the power to rip you apart, but only as it passes over the one place you've chosen to hide.
So how did that camera crew survive? Well, in short, they got extremely lucky. The tornado didn't actually hit the bridge directly; it passed by them with just enough distance to save their lives. Also, the particular overpass they chose had tiny crawl sections between the steel supports at the very top of the embankment, which meant that they were essentially huddled in a tiny steel cave. Most overpasses aren't designed that way, yet that didn't stop the media from immediately announcing that overpasses were the safest place to be when gods start firing angry wind missiles at the Midwest.
NA/AbleStock.com/Getty Images
"For extra security, carve 'Eat a dick, Thor' directly above your head."
As a result, some people even leave their houses during a tornado to go find an overpass because they think it's safer, and each time there are fatalities under those overpasses, even when there isn't a single death anywhere else that the tornado hit.

I am new to the physics surrounding bullet trajectory and how it is calculated. I am a software developer and I am working on a ballistics calculator. I am using wiki for the trajectory calculation.
I am currently using the equation under the "Angle $\theta$ required to hit coordinate $(x,y)$" section. This is all well and good, but it doesn't take into account the drag of the bullet(ballistic coefficient).
I have searched all over trying to figure out how to apply the coefficient to this equation. I am really at a loss and and would be very thankful for any direction in this matter. Maybe I have a gap in my understanding, but I have found plenty of other calculators and other documentation on trajectory and the coefficient but nothing that marries to the two together.

I'm curious about shooting greater than single row panoramas. If you have a post on the subject please direct me to it, if not I must assume the taking of such a series would go something like this:
With the tripod leveled and the parallax adjustment made I'd set my lens focal length to agree with the setting used to establish the no parallax setting. I'd begin at zero degrees and using my live view feature on my camera would note the correlation of the grid pattern and an overlap of approximately 30 degrees. I'd choose a radial indexing increment on the lower rotator that gave me the displacement I needed to lap 30 degrees. After shooting the first row I note the grid locations in live view and rotate my camera on the upper horizontal rail to lap 30 degrees vertically and again index from 0 degrees and back.... or would I begin my scans from the center of the top vertical axis and work towards the bottom vertical axis, a row at a time?
Using Photoshop CS4 Extended how do I blend multi-row panoramas?
Last question for this post: After shooting a single row pano and photo-merging them sometimes they are nearly perfect in rectangular shape, and other times their outer borders take on the shape of a violin. I assume that is because the tripod was not perfectly level, is that correct?

Have you seen the newest Google Easter egg?
Google is giving us another reason to goof off on a Friday with an Easter egg related to the popular game StarCraft.
If you type "Zerg Rush" into Google, the "O's" in Google take over the page. If you double click, your cursor turns into a plus sign. Click on the O's and you wipe them out. Google then tabulates your score and, in a social media twist, lets you post your score on Google+.
For the uninitiated, Zergs are an alien race of insectoids in Blizzard Entertainment's StarCraft. In the game you "rush" them by amassing your battle units and blitz them.

That is fun and challenging.
Pretty Cool. Watch out when they come from the bottom of the page!
I suck at that almost as bad as I do at StarCraft. :(
Is Heart of the Swarm finally going to be released?
Now I have a google game to keep me occupied today and now I remember why I hate zerglings.
That's pretty sweet!
Maybe I'm just a n00b, but what? It isn't working anymore or I'm doing it wrong or something...
@dergage: Just type "ZERG RUSH" into the search bar and hit enter. Probably best luck in Chrome :)
That is fun as heck, and I still suck against the zerg rush
if you let it go after you die the o's form into a GG :)
Very neat, thanks for the share!
@dergage: Make sure you have a newish browser you will need HTML5, so no IE7 or lower
Saw this earlier and LOVE it!
@darkone01: oh man those two letters together, 'gg', take me way back...
@zapp brannigan: That's it. Work computers only have IE7... Good call. Thanks!
I got 100, but got board. Yet again I used my apple device to beat google (android). If you scroll and keep your finger on the screen, it freezes the o so you can hit it with your other finger. Awesome game for iPad!

The general election is fast approaching, and candidates are getting into full gear hoping to earn your votes.
We are going to be hearing and seeing a great deal of campaigning in the weeks leading up to Nov. 6, with candidates making the rounds through our state and communities.
It will be up to each of us, therefore, to pay attention to everything that is being said and educate ourselves before we take that step into the voting booth.
One such opportunity will take place at 7 p.m. Monday at the Serbian-American Cultural Center in Weirton, with a candidate forum hosted by the Weirton Woman's Club.
Organizers have invited candidates from a great number of the political races taking place this year, and many of them will be on hand to speak about the campaigns and their hopes for the future if they are elected.
We encourage our residents to attend this very important event and learn as much about these candidates as they can straight from the men and women themselves.
We also thank the membership of the Weirton Woman's Club for putting such an event together. Activities such as this are what help to keep us all involved in our government and our nation.
And if you are unable to attend, we still encourage you to take some time to learn about all of the candidates appearing on the ballot this year.
The election will be here before we know it.

Chris Lytle named as new Port of Oakland executive director
May 28, 2013 - LM Editorial
The Port of Oakland Board of Commissioners announced the appointment of maritime shipping industry veteran Chris Lytle as the new Executive Director. While this fills a leadership void at one key West Coast ocean cargo gateway, it leaves another at the Port of Long Beach.
"Our commissioners will meet on June 3rd to discuss the recruiting process to find a successor to Mr. Lytle," said the port's acting director of communications, Art Wong.
Meanwhile, the Port of Oakland can begin to plan for the future as it ends its four-month search for someone to replace Omar Benjamin, who resigned amid a spending scandal last year.
The Port of Oakland's immediate goals include transforming the Port's maritime business.
"The future of the Port of Oakland is bright, and I am excited to be a part of the team as we work to realize its tremendous potential," said Lytle in a statement.
He currently serves as the Executive Director of the Port of Long Beach, the second busiest container seaport in North America, a position he has held since November 2011, after having served as the Port's Deputy Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer from 2008 to 2011. He joined the Port of Long Beach in September 2006 as one of four Managing Directors; he oversaw the Port's Trade Relations and Port Operations Bureau.
Prior to his Port of Long Beach tenure, Lytle served as Vice President of West Coast Operations for the French-based shipping line CMA CGM, which has significant maritime and terminal operations at the Ports of Long Beach, Oakland, and Seattle.

5 Things You Won't Believe Are Making You Dumber
Tell people that their diets or habits are making them fat or out of shape and they shrug -- we hear that crap every day. Tell them that their habits make them stupider and you're about to have a fight. We all know that our brain is a part of our body, but nobody likes to think of their intelligence as something that can get weak and flabby due to things that are out of our control.
Science says otherwise. Studies have shown ...
#5. Meetings (And Group Projects in General) Slow Down Your Brain
Have you ever been in a situation where you had to work with other people (like a meeting at work or forming groups in school) and suddenly felt like everyone involved was suddenly dumber than normal? It's not just that you hate everyone you're working with (and that they hate you, too) -- it's science.
The subtle science of hate.
It turns out that just being in meetings and group situations can drain your brain. In a study done by researchers who probably wished they were working alone, they found that when people are made to work together in small groups, their brains start freezing on them like an old computer running Windows Vista. There are a couple of reason for this; one, they have to focus more on interaction and behavior (think of all the brainpower that goes into not scratching your ass in front of others) instead of the task at hand, and two, because their status within the group is affecting their performance. Confidence matters, and it's hard to keep it up when you're working around assholes.
So, the more competitive the group is, the dumber some of its members will become. For the study, people with similar IQs were put into groups of five and ranked for their performance on mental tests. When the results were shown to the entire group, those who came out last started performing significantly worse for the next tests: They felt dumb compared to the rest, so they screwed up more than they would if they were working alone. The researchers believe that the same thing happens in more subtle ways in everyday life. Some people simply function better on their own.
"Can't we just handle this separately and talk about it later? I have work to do."
This gets even more complicated if your work group includes both men and women. Overall, the women in the study performed worse in a group setting than the men ... but you also have to take into account the fact that men in general turn into idiots just by being around women. No, seriously: Another study shows that men perform 14 percent more poorly on mental tasks when they think that a woman is watching them.
And no, the same thing didn't happen to women in the opposite scenario. We'll let you guess what made the difference there.
#4. Jet Lag Gives You Permanent Memory and Learning Problems
If you've ever traveled from one continent to another, you know what being jet-lagged is like: You may find yourself wide awake at 3 a.m. or falling asleep in the middle of the afternoon because you left your internal clock at another time zone. But, whatever, as long as you're getting your eight hours, you should be OK in a day or so. Hey, at least you got to see the world, so maybe you should stop whining and be thankful, damn it! Oh, except for the part where jet lag is making you an idiot.
"I poop in the potty like a big boy!"
Seriously, the more often you are jet-lagged, the more your brain suffers for it, and we're afraid it's permanent. In a study conducted at the University of California, Berkeley, a group of hamsters were subjected to six-hour time shifts -- the equivalent of a New York-to-Paris time shift, or a hangover that lasts way too long. After a couple of weeks of this, they found that those hamsters had trouble learning stuff and couldn't pass tests that other hamsters had aced. But, you know, that was to be expected, since the hamsters were pretty tired and all -- the surprising part is that even a whole month after the hamsters had readjusted their schedules, they were still stupid compared to the others.
The act of constantly resetting their body clocks had actually changed the anatomy of their brains -- their hippocampus only had 50 percent of the neurons that other hamsters had, which affected their memory and their ability to learn. And this wasn't from lack of sleep: The jet-lagged hamsters got exactly as much pillow time as all the others; the only thing that changed was the hours in which they did it.
Look at that dumbass. Hey, dipshit, you're not going anywhere!
So how do we know that this isn't like some super specific problem that affects rodents only? Because the same symptoms have already been found in people with jobs that involve constant time shifts ... we just didn't know why this happened or how permanent the damage was. Flight attendants, for example, have been found to have severe memory loss ... but that small fact is usually overlooked by their increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and cancer.
Remembering whether you asked for the fish or the steak isn't her biggest problem right now.
#3. Getting Spanked as a Child Lowers Your IQ
For reasons that only our ancestors understood, at some point it was decided that it was acceptable to hit a child for misbehaving, as long as you did it on his or her ass. And while some of you may insist that hundreds of spankings turned you into the responsible adult you are today, science says it might also have made you stupider in the process.
Via Thoughtfulindia.com
"There goes your shot at Harvard. And there goes Yale. You want to shoot for Eastern Illinois University?"
According to research done by the University of New Hampshire, the IQs of unspanked toddlers were on average five points higher than those of their bruised-assed peers ... even four years after the spanking took place. In fact, the more often a kid was spanked, the lower his IQ was. They also found that nations where spanking is still socially acceptable today had lower national IQs than nations that look down on it.
Via Phys.org
The irony: Spanked kids probably can't understand this.
Researchers say that kids who were spanked actually showed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder -- the same condition war veterans get from watching people's heads get blown off (which is associated with low IQs).
Trauma in newborn babies has an even more negative effect, since their brains are just being formed. So what counts as trauma for kids of that age? Letting them cry.
"Nothing builds a strong, independent person like abandonment issues!"
Yes, because your parents were too sleepy to give you a new bottle, you're not the next Bill Gates. A study from the University of Pittsburgh has found that letting babies "cry it out" can lead to permanent brain damage. Rather than teaching them to be more independent, parents who don't comfort their babies when they start crying at night are actually doing the opposite: Infants tend to shut down when faced with distress, stop growing emotionally, stop trusting, and eventually stop feeling. And these are the people who will be picking your nursing home one day.

Subject: Re: [OMPI devel] RFC: Resilient ORTE
From: Josh Hursey (jjhursey_at_[hidden])
Date: 2011-06-10 16:06:57
Yeah I do not want the default fatal callback in OMPI. I want to
replace it with something that allows OMPI to continue running when
there are process failures (if the error handlers associated with the
communicators permit such an action). So having the default fatal
callback called after mine would not be useful, since I do not want
the fatal action.
As long as I can replace that callback, or selectively get rid of it
then I'm ok.
