Diana Francis has written a world of Urban Fantasy characters that will both tug at your heart and rev up your anxiety level- a world of Shadowblades (the sun will kill them) and Sunspears (the darkness will kill them) each of whom is responsible for the protection of an elemental witch and his/her coven. But it just so happens that Max is the Prime Shadowblade and as the Prime it is her primary responsibility to protect her witch at all costs-even when she wants nothing to do but destroy the very life she has been compulsed to protect. An interesting conundrum for one of the most powerful and special Shadowblades the world of the magic and the Divine has ever seen.
The premise follows that the Guardians (a most powerful and omnipotent power) are angry at the world and want revenge against the humans who have forced 'magic' into hiding. Along the way, the Guardians have chosen to enlist the witches in their attempt but their refusal to help has started a war with the Divine and between each other. And there is only one person who holds the key and has the ability to stop the destruction-Max.Read more ›

"Max's phone rang. It was set to a high-pitched tone that most humans couldn't hear. But being human hadn't been Max's problem since 1979." -Bitter Night
First up, the good: Diana's fantasy background was a strength that she fully utilized in created the world of the Horngate Witches. Witches hold amazing power in Bitter Night. Shadowblades and Sunspears are human servants magically enhanced with superhuman abilities and senses. They are not that dissimilar from vampires: they can heal from most wounds, never grow old, and the sun (or moon depending on whether they are Sunspears or Shadowblades) is deadly to them. They even struggle with enlarged appetites (try 40 Big Macs at once).
Max (she adopted the name from the Mel Gibson character in The Road Warrior movies, though I think she is much more like Riggs from Lethal Weapon) is the Prime Shadowblade for the witch Giselle. Enslaved by the witch that made her, compelled to lay down her very life if necessary in order to keep Giselle safe, Max is not the grateful servant she's expected to be. Rather she is consumed with one thought: Revenge. It is the one hope that keeps her from walking out in to the sunlight that would kill her. When forces greater than even the witches threaten everything that Max has come to care about, she must learn to ally with her enemy and accept the role she must play as savior.
The cover art is what first attracted me to this book. And I love that Max is actually described like the cover depicts her. She even wears the cover outfit during a pivotal scene in the book. In that scene Max is forced into a test of endurance against another witch's Prime Shadowblade, Alexander (who I think deserved a spot on the cover as a significant number of chapters are written from his point of view).
The not-so good: Diana's fantasy background is both her strength and her weakness. The fantasy Horngate world is well realized with its own unique mythology (especially her take on Angels), the urban elements, however, are less so. There is very little interaction with the modern (outside) world, and while the characters all have cell phones and drive cars etc., apart from those details, this story could easily have been set a millennium ago with minor changes. I'm not sure if those small additions will be enough for hardcore urban fantasy lovers.
I'll also admit that it took me until about the midpoint to really get into this book. Max is a hard character and the circumstances of her life have made her very bitter (hence the title). At first, I struggled to see past that aspect of her. I understood her to a degree, I just didn't especially like her. That changed when she risked her life for Alexander not knowing if he would turn around and kill her later. Her loyalty to the Shadowblades in her command was also a contributing factor. She consistently put their welfare over her own need for revenge. It's hard not to admire that kind of selflessness.
I never really did warm up to Alexander. He didn't seem strong enough to be a realistic romantic lead for Max (the Angel on the other hand...). Nor did I ever believe the conflicting desire they supposedly felt for each other went beyond plain lust. Overall, I found his chapters to be the weakest in the book.
Bitter Night has its bitter moments, but strong world building and a heroine who proves herself by bravery and resourcefulness, even willingness to suffer in the stead of others make it worth reading. There is no cliffhanger ending, but Diana is far from finished with her Horngate Witches...and neither am I.
Sexual Content: Kissing.
HIGH LEVEL: YES! Just that. YES! Yes, you should read this. Yes, you will like it. It was a seriously great read. Fast paced, high stakes, rich magical world with vivid, down to earth characters. I honestly wasn't sure after reading the first couple pages, but a few more pages in and I was HOOKED.
MYTHOS & STYLE: This is more of an Urban Fantasy than a romance, though there is a stronger element of romance than in many UFs. It was something of a blend of the two- a well-crafted blend. The magical world was cleverly written and diverse, ranging from witches to angels to hags. This could be considered a unique take on vampires- the Shadowblades and Sunspears. It was all very clever. Story is told from two perspectives- the female and male leads, which is interesting specifically because it isn't a true para-romance. It worked VERY well. The violence was fast and bloody and devastating. Not a faint hearted book.
CHARACTERS: Max, our heroine, is a strong lead. She makes a great central character- she has depth and flaws and enough anger to boil the words off the page. I felt her struggles from page one until the back cover. The supporting characters were all vibrant and full. Each of them sympathetic in their own way making up a great "band of brothers" type team. The "bad guys" were a little too stereotypical and lacked the same depth that the others had. Alexander, who was the male lead, was perhaps an even BETTER character than Max. He was something of a tragic hero- his 100+ year lifespan was very clear in how he was written. His loyalty, his strength, his struggles- wow. It was a real treat to watch Max & Alexander cautiously dance around each other.
BOTTOM LINE: I just loved this book and I could just go on and on about why. I couldn't put it down and I had no idea what to expect when I picked it up, so I'm sure I missed an appointment or two.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book for being book 1 in a series. Usually I find the first book in series somewhat boring as there is a lot of set up and character building going on. So I was gladly surprised by this book. The only draw backs for me were a few times where things were just too unbelievable. For someone who was supposed to be a great warrior I was not impressed at some points with Alexander's warrior prowess, I also found it hard to believe at one point that they would linger and take a shower while in an enemy's stronghold, etc. Things like that bugged me but overall a wonderful book.
Max is a trained assassin. In fact, she is the head of an elite group of warriors called Shadowblades, who serve and protect powerful witches. She was tricked into service and is bitter and resentful about the whole thing. While out on a mission, she meets a rival blade, Alex who captures her interest. Her and Alex must band together (along with her other blades and even enemies) to neutralize the "Big Bad" that is coming their way.
Max started out strong as a character. I understood her resentment and felt her rage. But somewhere in the middle, she lost me. I found her actions to be reckless, childish and stupid. She constantly made the same types of mistakes. She would do things that a well-trained, effective, competent team leader would not. Part of me thought that Max had a death wish, but suicidal tendencies are not something that I look for in a heroine. The only saving grace for her was Alex.
Alex is a rival blade who has been around over 100 years. He has seen it all. Alex has been betrayed and abandoned by his witch and his band of Shadowblades before he hooks up with Max and her crew. I liked Alex. He was smart, capable and effective. The wild, recklessness that was ever present with Max, wasn't there with him. I respected this character in ways that I couldn't respect Max.
I won't bore you with a regurgitation of the mythology involved in this story. It wasn't that inspiring. It managed to be boring and somewhat confusing all at the same time. Character development and plot are the most important elements in a book. While the mythology bored me, the author did a great job of sucking me into the characters that inhabit this world of Shadowblades and witches. I understood most of their motivations and reasoning. The biggest problem with the book was her heroine, Max.
Great urban fantasy transports the reader into a dark and gritty world where the heroes fight the good fight against overwhelming odds and huge obstacles. The characters aren't perfect, but they have the intelligence and grit to make the reader respect and like them. "Bitter Night" had several characters that I could plug into. Unfortunately, Max wasn't really one of them.
"Bitter Night" had just enough qualities to make it an okay read. The verdict is still out on whether the series will turn into something special.

This invention relates to optical switching arrangements, and is particularly concerned with such arrangements which have temperature dependent switching elements. In order to achieve reliable switching, the temperature can be quite critical, but because such optical switching arrangements may include a large number of switching elements, there is a need for a simple but effective control mechanism which does not rely on measuring the operating temperature, and which does not require calibration of the individual switching elements.
According to this invention, an optical switching arrangement includes a thermo-optic switch having a plurality of heaters which are selectively energizable to route optical signals; means to apply a predetermined voltage to said heaters, and a power arrangement for applying pulsed current to energize said heaters, the mark-space ratio of the pulse current being variable to achieve a constant predetermined mean power value.
The invention is further described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows an optical switch, and
FIG. 2 shows an optical switch arrangement in accordance with the invention which incorporates such an optical switch.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown therein a four port optical switch, having two input ports 1, 2, and two output ports 3, 4, the switch in a first configuration providing a straight through path from input port 1 to output port 3, and from input port 2 to output port 4. In a second configuration, the connections are from input port 1 to output port 4, and from input port 2 to output port 3.
The input and output ports are interconnected by means of light guides 5, 6, 7, 8, having junction points 9, 10, 11, 12 which constitute switching elements and which are controlled by localized heaters 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. The light guides comprise planar waveguides having a temperature sensitive refractive index, and the routing function of the optical switch is determined by operating one or other of the pair of heaters associated with each junction point. For this reason, such an optical switch is termed a thermo-optic switch. An example of such a switch is the solid state optical switch sold by Akzo Nobel bv of the Netherlands.
Considering junction 9, light entering at port 1 is directed away from whichever junction arm has its heater energized, so that if heater 13 is energized, and heater 14 remains cool, the light is directed along light guide 6 to junction 12. Thus, to direct light from input port 1 to output port 4, and from input port 2 to output port 3, heaters, 13, 15, 18 and 20 are energized, with the other heaters 14, 16, 17, 19 being cool. Conversely, to allow light to pass straight through the optical switch, heaters 14, 16, 17, 19 are energised with the remaining heaters cool.
In practice, a number of optical switches of the kind shown in FIG. 1 will be combined in a single package having a large number of input and output ports.
It has been found that the power supplied to the heaters needs to be precisely set to allow for tolerances in the characteristics of individual junctions and heaters. In an optical switching arrangement having a large number of junctions, it is undesirable, and possibly impractical to adjust the power levels individually, particularly as the thermal and electrical properties can change as the product ages.
FIG. 2 shows an optical switch arrangement which incorporates an optical switch 25 of the kind shown in FIG. 1, and a drive circuit which supplies precisely constant power to its heaters.
The two groups of heaters 13, 15, 18, 20, and heaters 14, 16, 17, 19 are represented diagrammatically by loads 26 and 27 respectively, the heaters within a given group being connected electrically in parallel. Selection of the appropriate load is by heater selector 28 in dependence on input signals on lines 29, 30. The heater selector 28 connects a precisely maintained voltage rail 31 at a contact predetermined voltage (typically 13 volts) to one or other of the loads 26 or 27. The current paths through the loads are combined at an electrical power switch 32 and returned to the ground voltage rail 33 via a low value sensor resistor 34.
The power switch 32 is an on-off switch with power amplification operating at a repetition rate of 30 kHz, and having a variable mark-space ratio which is adjustable so as to maintain constant power consumption in the loads 26, 27. The repetition rate is determined by a triangular wave oscillator 35, and is chosen in relation to the thermal mass of the loads, so as to be above the frequency at which the temperature of the loads can respond, so as not to impart modulation to light signals passing through the optical switch.
The triangular waveform at 30 kHz is applied to one input of a comparator 36, the other input of which receives a variable threshold level 40. Thus, by altering the threshold level, the mark-space ratio at the output of the comparator is varied.
The current flowing through the sensor resistor 34 is determined by integrating the voltage drop across it by integrator 37. The value of resistor 34 is very low, typically 0.5Ω, whereas the value of each load 26, 27 is typically about 200Ω, so that negligible power is lost in the sensor resistor 34. The output of the integrator 37 is compared at a comparator 38 with a preset reference value 39, and the output of the comparator 38 is proportional to the difference between the inputs, and this varying level output signal constitutes the variable threshold level 40 for comparator 36.
Thus, the circuit is operative to maintain at a constant value the power applied to the loads, despite variations in resistance of the loads due to thermal changes and aging. The power level is selected so as to lie in the center of the tolerance band of typical heaters, so that it is not necessary to individually adjust the characteristics of the circuit to each heater, whilst ensuring precise and reliable operation of the optical switching arrangement over an extended period of time.

Cherokee County Council sells rail line for $269,000
Published: Wednesday, July 7, 1993 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 7, 1993 at 12:00 a.m.
The Cherokee County Council agreed Tuesday night to sell an abandoned railroad line it acquired in December 1991 to a Georgia company for $269,000. By a unanimous vote, council members awarded the contract for the salvage of the rail line and timbers to Muse Railroad Material Co. of Lilburn, Ga. The county will retain the rights to the land the railway crosses. Muse Railroad outbid seven other companies on the project. The company must pay the county up front and complete the work within 90 days, according to the terms of the contract. The county bought the six-mile rail spur from Duke Power Co. for a token $10 as part of an effort to stop a Florida company from building a massive waste incinerator at the former nuclear power plant property. In other business, the council unanimously approved a request from the Cherokee Creek Volunteer Fire Department for a referendum to establish a special purpose tax district in its response area. The department had already collected more than the required number of signatures needed to petition for a referendum before making its request to the County Council. Cherokee Creek firefighter Mike Bolin said the department is asking for the authority to raise 12 mills in property taxes, which would generate about $36,000 in revenue. Residents in the Cherokee Creek Fire District who own a $50,000 home would pay about $24 a year more in property taxes if the referendum is successful. Bolin told council members that its fire station off of Buck Shoals Road is no longer adequate enough to serve its 10-mile response area, which includes the northwest corner of the county bordering Chesnee. The tax money would be used to open a substation off of S.C. Highway 221-A and buy a pumper truck, tanker and brush truck for the proposed station, Bolin said. The Cherokee Creek VFD wants to hold the election as soon as possible but has not set a date. The department will have to pay all costs associated with the referendum. The council also adopted a resolution in honor of former Sheriff Julian Wright, who died Saturday in Gaffney at the age of 85. The resolution will be presented to Wright's widow, Margaret Kirby Wright, at the next council meeting.

This movie is based on the book of the same name written by Richard Matheson. Kevin Bacon plays a fairly typical working-class guy living in Chicago with his wife and his son. One night at a party, he gets into a lively discussion with his sister-in-law, who believes in psychic communication and the power of hypnosis. He challenges her to hypnotize him, and she plants in him a post-hypnotic suggestion to be more open-minded. But the results aren't quite what either of them expected; he sees the spirit of a girl from the neighborhood who disappeared months ago; as does his son.
this Film Makes You Think. It is one Of The films i realy enjoyed kevin bacon is the main actor. great film enjoy watching it.
I was impressed with this movie. This movie has some very disturbing and horrifying scenes which kept me watching until the end. A great movie!
Originally released on the coattails of "Six Sense", this took a back seat at the box office because of it. But this engaging psychological drama taken from Richard Matheson's story, sucks you in from the get go, and is actually a much better story then "Six Sense". Filmed on Chicago's south side, the setting is a character in of it's own. The cast together weave a mystery you won't forget.
I must admit that I have never heard of Stir of Echoes until I bought it in the year of 2002. I liked the front cover of the movie. When I saw it, I thought it was unbelievably great. I liked Kevin Bacon's performance in this film. He certainly gave a great serious work on his part to really make this movie connect with the audience. I liked the story even though I didn't like the idea of a child actor being in it because they are not very good and natural enough. I will let this slide because the story really dominated the movie. I was puzzled about few characters, how they acted in the middle of the film, but I know now because the ending revealed it all. I saw The Mothman Prophecies before I saw this one. After seeing The Mothman Prophecies, the movie raised the standards higher than it was originally with M. Night Shyamalan films and the others. I feel this movie Stir of Echoes comes close to meet the new standards I have a high praise for the dynamic story created. Just for the record, Artisan, as I predict, will be the upcoming top producer of great movies in the future because what I have seen so far are extremely remarkable: Stir of Echoes, Pi, Belly, The Limey, The Ninth Gate, Dune, and many more. In addition, I researched on this film and did not know that it was released the same time as Sixth Sense. Now, that explains why this movie was in the closet. Suppose if this film was released only, I can safely say that this film will fare greater than it was in the first place.

Hi, when I insert images into the table, seems no problem. But when viewing in safari, the images seems very very small. Below my table code.

Valletta – the capital of Malta – was founded by the Knights of St John on the Xiberras peninsula, bordered by the two natural harbors, Marsamxett and the Grand Harbour
 The peninsula was originally only the site of a small watch tower, called St Elmo.
 After Great Siege of 1565, the Grand Master Jean Parisot de Valette drew up a plan for a new fortified city as stronghold for the Knights.

Macau Caritas founder dies
Spanish Jesuit, whose Cantonese name was "Luk Ngai," also founded Casa Ricci
ucanews.com reporter, Macau
July 27, 2011
Father Luis Ruiz Suarez, who dedicated his entire life to needy people in Macau and mainland China, died yesterday at the age of 97. The Spanish Jesuit, whose Cantonese name was "Luk Ngai," was the founder of Caritas Macau.
Paul Pun Chi-meng, secretary general of Caritas Macau, remembered Father Ruiz's selfless service, saying that "He was a pragmatic man. He never spread the Gospel with words, but I saw Jesus whenever I saw him."
The obituary prepared by Caritas honored his lifelong contribution while urging people from all walks of life to emulate his spirit to serve the needy in the community.
Born in 1913, Father Ruiz joined the Jesuits in 1930. His missionary work in China began in 1941. It was interrupted by the Second Sino-Japanese War, and resumed after the war ended in 1945. When the Communists took control of China in 1949, he was imprisoned briefly and expelled from the country.
He was told by his Jesuit provincial to stay in Macau, at the time a Portuguese colony, to recover from typhoid, which he contracted in prison, but within a month he was already working with refugees.
Later he founded the Casa Ricci Social Service in Macau. It was later turned into Caritas Macau, which he began to operate in the 1970s and established five centers for the aged and for young men and women with mental disabilities.
He also enlisted the Sisters of Charity of St. Anne to help caring for the people with leprosy.
He began his service for people with leprosy in neighboring Guangdong province in 1984. Ten years later, this service had grown so much that he handed the Caritas operation back to Macau diocese.
He had helped more than 8,000 patients and their children in about 140 leprosaria in various Chinese provinces.
In 2005, Father Luis, in his 90s, accepted invitation from the Hunan provincial government to set up a caring center for HIV/AIDS patients.

How Do You Know Your Auto Insurance Coverage is Sufficient?
Before you purchase your next auto insurance coverage, look over your policy and check your coverage. Many people don't understand all the names and numbers that they see so it's best to review the policy a bit.
The first part of the policy statement of coverage covers the damage to your car. The coverage has two sections, comprehensive and collision. Both have a deductible, an amount you pay before the insurance company pays.
Collision is an accident. You hit the garage; you hit another car or collide with a pedestrian. The coverage repairs your car. Comprehensive covers just about everything else that damages your car, including theft or a fallen tree. If you have a loan on your vehicle, then the lending institution requires that you carry this type of coverage.
The most important part of the policy coverage and required in all states, is the liability section. This section pays for the other driver's injuries and vehicle if you caused the accident. There are several areas in the liability section.
The first area is bodily injury. This coverage makes payment for medical expense people injured in an accident that you caused. The coverage includes coverage for representation if that person decides to sue. This is broken down into two sections, per person maximum and per occurrence maximum. The coverage shows up on your policy in number form, such as 25/50/10, and is the first two of three numbers. Some policies simply show a maximum paid for both bodily injury and property damage and expressed as a single number like $100,000.
The next area of liability is property damage to others. If your car runs into another car, a fence or causes any type of accident, any damage caused to the other vehicle or property comes from this section. It is the third number in 20/40/10.
The last section of the liability portion is medical payments to others. This coverage includes the driver, passengers and even covers you as a pedestrian if you or a family member has injuries from a hit and run.
The final is the uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Just like your liability coverage, it takes the place of the other driver's lack of insurance to cover you.
Most people get the minimum coverage on liability when they really need higher limits. No one knows how much an accident costs until it occurs. The cost of medical care increases each day and $25,000 barely scratches the surface. If more than two people receive injuries, the amount available to each person is even less. Too little insurance puts the burden of a large bill back into the lap of the driver. If someone receives an injury that causes permanent damage, then this small amount of insurance doesn't come close to the cost of any settlement. The difference in cost between higher limits is minimal but crucial. Vehicles today cost well over $10,000 and with minimum coverage, the driver pays the difference.
Consider increasing the uninsured/underinsured portion also. If the potential exists for you to cause more damage to another, then the possibility exists that someone else could injure you in the same manner. Again, the increase in premium is not that great.
Check your coverage today and see if you think that it covers the expense for a major accident. If the answer is no, start by calling your agent to see how much your insurance company charges to increase the coverage. It's better to save money on your insurance by checking with other companies and getting competitive quotes, than select inadequate auto insurance coverage.

5.0 stars 128 totalReview Shaffer Cormell
Posted by Cookie
My red light ticket was dismissed. He fees are very reasonable. He is very professional and involved in hus cases. He kept me informed and up to date on every step of the process. He took care if everything without and i didn't have to worry about anything.
Posted by a client
On 4/16/16 I was pulled over in Indio on my way from Los Angeles to the BMW performance driving school in Thermal. I was ticketed with going an excess of 100mph, a potential 2-point violation as well as a potential 30 day suspension of my license. In my 17 years of driving, this was my only speeding offense and I was extremely alarmed by the severity of the possible punishment.
After reading reviews on various websites and speaking with a number of attorneys, I made the decision to put my trust in Shaffer Cormell and could not be happier with that move.
From the get go, Shaffer was extremely professional, caring, honest and generous with his time. He never pushed for a sale with me and made it clear that my ticket would be a tough one to fight. Best case, I was hoping he'd be able to save me the suspension and subsequent SR22.
As the court date neared, Shaffer kept me abreast to every update and his plan as to how he intended to approach the case. My trial was set for 7/1/16 as he wanted to get as close to the 4th as possible in hopes of the officer not appearing.
The afternoon of the 1st, I received a call from Shaffer letting me know that while the officer did appear, he was able to negotiate my ticket down to a zero point violation, failure to obey a signal.
I cannot thank Shaffer enough for lifting this weight off my conscience and helping me to avoid any sort of increase to my auto insurance. He went above and beyond in getting me such a great outcome.
Should anyone reading this find themselves in need of the BEST attorney to handle their traffic offense, you've found him.
Thank you again Shaffer Cormell!

I hired Shaffer based on the excellent reviews and success rate he has achieved regarding traffic violations in Riverside,San Diego County. I had received a speeding ticket in Temecula with the case being held at the Hemet courthouse. Shaffer and his staff did a great job communicating steps involved for this case and was able to have the case dismissed without me having to drive all the way to the Hemet courthouse, saving much time. I would definitely recommend Shaffer to any of my friends,colleagues who have received a traffic violation. Thanks again.

I hired Mr. Cormell to help with a speeding ticket that I received for going 135 MPH on the freeway. After I called and explained my situation on what took place, Mr Cormell handled the rest. He attended all of my court dates and my ticket was dismissed completely. I would highly recommend him.

I was wrongly arrested for being drunk in public in September in San Bernardino, and found Shaffer in late December, only a few weeks before my arraignment. He was polite, professional, and very reasonable with his prices compared to his competitors. Shaffer showed up in court for me twice before my case was dismissed in the interest of justice! I would highly recommend Shaffer Cormell for his services. Thanks to him, I have a clean record!

I have a cdl license I got a ticket speeding over 100 mph it was dismiss only becox of Shaffer Cormell hard work he did unbelievable thank you so much your the best!!
Posted by a client
Attorney Shaffer Cormell and his firm was a Godsend! It was all so easy! I had three citations that was going to cost me at least 4 to 6 points on my record, one of which was driving on the wrong side of the road. He was able to get it all dismissed! I was amazed, and I didn't even have to be in court to deal with all of the paperwork. Everytime I called for an update, Mr. Cormell answered personally, he knew who I was and I had a peace of mind that everything was being handled appropriately. Excellent service! Give his office a call if you want a painless, and worry-free experience, including an ultimate bang for your buck!

Great attorney I hired him for m speeding ticket and he had it reduced to a non moving violation that did not appear on my DMV record. He is very professional and always is there for questions. I never had to appear in court. The best attorney for this service in my opinion.
Posted by Robin
I am a US service member in the Navy and I received a speeding ticket while on leave in CA, had a court appearance scheduled when my ship would be out to sea and military legal advised me to get an attorney so I googled for days reading reviews, emailing lawyers and after communicating with Mr. Cormell I found the right person. He was VERY helpful, the staff and I had to conduct all my business from where I was overseas with people stateside on a different timezone. My case was dismissed in the interest of justice and the fee I paid for his services was very reasonable not to mention they kept me updated on my case while I was away at sea. I highly recommend Mr. Cormell and his law office to anyone that needs it.
Posted by Cliff Wolfe
Outstanding attorney and fantastic staff; he represented me in a ticket of being not in correct lane over by the indio grade on I 10. Other than not remembering his name ( should change,it to lance or Bob or Tim, etc and last name Cornell) I always had nothing but praise for him..TOO bad he isnt nationwide as many truck drivers who work for haters like crazy Mormon Swift, Knight Central Navajo, England or the rabid anti worker diseases like jb hunt Schneider or CRST need a good attorney Hopefully the teamsters will break these companies and maybe Shaff can assist in that effort. Take care and let's pray for a union driving force for 2016.

Rafer Alston Left Heat to Be With Suicidal Twin Sister
Oh, man, we kind of feel bad for making light of Rafer Alston's mysterious disappearence from the Heat. According to ESPN, Alston says his decision had little to do with losing his spot in the starting lineup and more to do with the attempted suicide of his twin sister.
"I've never been a quitter, and I still want to go back and tell them face-to-face. But after I had a little time to think about the fact that I wouldn't be playing anymore, I felt the best thing was for me to be with my loved one. I just knew if I'd gotten on the phone and they said the wrong thing, voices would've been raised. I know myself. It would get bad," says Alston, who admitted he might have handled the situation with the Heat badly.
"I'll be 34 in July. If I can come back and play one more season, that would be great. But if not, I'm still happy with my decision. I played 11 years and had a solid career. Maybe I didn't leave Miami the right way. But I left for the right reason."
The only contact he had with the team to explain his absence was a vague text message to a trainer explaining he was going to go back to be with his family.

I love my boston sports teams. I'm the type of person that will not throw my team in your face unless they talked badly about then I will defend them to the end. But for football I'm a big New York Giants fan its complicated. I really like to go camping in the backwoods never have had the chance out here but have religously back east. I also love to cook whether in the kitchen BBQ or over a roaring campfire.
I am fun, active, and curius

Antoni Mylka - 2009-11-05
- milestone: --> 1.4.0 - features
- assigned_to: nobody --> mylka
- status: open --> closed
We got reports from users of the FileSystemCrawler halting on some files. It turns out that due to bugs in commons-compress, on some files it enters an infinite loop. There is little we can do about that but we can introduce a mechanism similar to ThreadedExtractorWrapper. Though this time we would have to ensure that it works for a cascade of subcrawlers, not only a single one.
The ThreadedSubcrawlerWrapper is there since r2099 which is almost a month now. No problems have been reported. I hereby declare this issue closed. In case of problems, please open bug tickets.
