Biloxi, Miss. -- A cat missing for five years is back home in Mississippi, bearing battle scars and a wilder attitude but happy, the owner says,
"This is the power of microchipping," humane society Director Tara High said. "There is no other way that cat would have found its
family. This is a very dramatic story with a wonderful ending."
Scrub was an indoor cat living in Gulfport, Miss., with Jennifer and Chris Noble prior to Hurricane Katrina, but after the storm hit their living conditions changed considerably, The Sun Herald of Biloxi, Miss., reported.
Lakeland, Fla. -- A Florida woman who killed her neighbor's cat says she opened fire to protect her pit bull, her sister and herself.
Polly Boykin of Lakeland faces charges of animal cruelty and firing a gun in public, The Lakeland Ledger reports. Judy Steele was ticketed for not having proof her cat had been vaccinated and allowing the animal to roam loose.
Police said that Skeeter, Steele's cat, strayed into Boykin's yard Tuesday morning. The pit bull, named Zeva, went after the cat and the two animals ended up in another yard under a house trailer.
Muskegon, Mich. -- A cat that went missing three years ago has been found apparently no worse for the wear, its owner said.
Terri Essex was in New Mexico when she received a call from her house sitter that her cat, Harrison, had escaped and couldn't be found, the Grand Haven (Mich.) Tribune reported.
Essex said she did everything she could to find Harrison after she returned home to Muskegon.
"We looked, we checked all the shelters, we ran ads in the paper," she said.
The Harbor Humane Society caught a cat in a trap in Spring Lake Township this week and brought it to the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department Animal Control, where it was checked for a microchip.
Port Townsend, Wash. -- A Washington state woman said fire investigators determined a kitchen blaze was started when her cat switched on the toaster oven.
Lois Lund, who shares a Port Townsend home with her pregnant daughter, Sena, said she was awakened by a popping sound in the early hours Sunday and discovered a fire in her kitchen, the Peninsula Daily News, Port Angeles, Wash., reported Wednesday.
Fire investigator Kurt Steinbach said the fire, which Lund extinguished with a garden hose, was caused by a toaster oven apparently switched on by Osiris, the family's 10-year-old cat.
Lund said Osiris had been sleeping atop the toaster oven ever since he was spooked by a recent encounter with a canine intruder.
Springfield, Ill. -- An Illinois man said a cat given to an elderly couple made a trek of at least 6 miles to return to his home.
James Grean said he and his wife, Nancy, already had four cats when Tom turned up at their home, so after he lived with them for about a year they took a suggestion from Dr. Dena Nelson, veterinarian at All Cat Clinic in Springfield, and gave him to an elderly couple Aug. 18, The Springfield (Ill.) State Journal-Register reported Wednesday.
Grean said he and his wife checked in with the new owners and they said Tom was doing fine, but he was shocked when he left for work Oct. 14 and was greeted by Tom in his driveway.
Reno-- A Nevada woman said her 48 1/2-inch-long cat is being officially recognized as the longest domestic feline by Guinness World Records.
Robin Hendrickson of Reno said she received a certificate last week making it official that Stewie, her 5-year-old Maine Coon, is the world's largest domestic cat after he was last measured in August, the Reno (Nev.) Gazette-Journal reported Wednesday.
Hendrickson said she first submitted Stewie for the record in July 2008, when he measured 47 inches from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail, but he was beat out by a car named Leo.
The pet owner said she has some ideas for how to use Stewie's newfound celebrity for positive causes.
Coventry -- British animal authorities said a woman who was videotaped throwing a cat into a trash bin was charged with two animal cruelty-related counts.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said Mary Bale, 45, of Coventry, England, was videotaped stroking Lola, a 4-year-old cat, before grabbing her by the scruff of her neck and dropping her in a trash bin, Sky News reported Monday.
The RSPCA said the cat spent about 15 hours in the trash bin but was not physically injured by the ordeal.
Bale was charged with causing unnecessary suffering to the cat and not providing her with a suitable environment.
Surrey, British Columbia -- A Canadian woman said her 14-year-old cat, which disappeared during a recent move, turned out to have spent five days hiding inside a box spring.
Anne Green said Augustus the ginger tom disappeared Aug. 5 while movers were packing up her family's old Edmonton, Alberta, home for a move to Surrey, British Columbia, The Vancouver Sun reported Thursday.
Green said her family searched their old neighborhood for days and the movers checked the contents of their truck, but there was no sign of the orange cat.
Green said she decided to search the truck herself when it arrived in Surrey eight days after it was packed.
Dublin, Ireland -- Transportation officials in Dublin, Ireland, said they found the owner of a cat that hitched a 10-mile ride on a local train.
Officials with Iarnoid Eireann, Ireland's national railway system operator, said the cat was found at Dublin's Pearse Street train station and a review of security footage determined the feline had boarded a Dublin Area Rapid Transit train in Malahide, RTE News, Dublin, reported Tuesday.
The rail company issued an appeal on its Twitter feed for the cat's owner to come forward and the animal was soon reunited with owner Eric Bieci.
Bieci thanked railway workers for helping reunite him with his pet.

Albuquerque -- An Albuquerque woman said her cat is back home after somehow making his way to Chicago during his eight months on the loose.
Robin Alex said her cat, Charles, disappeared in August and there was no sign of the feline until a Chicago Animal Care and Control employee found him last week in an alley, the Albuquerque Journal reported Monday.
She said the organization used the cat's microchip to obtain her contact information.
"I couldn't believe it," she said. "I thought there must be some mistake."
Alex said she sent out a plea online for help getting the cat home and made calls to various organizations until she got in contact with CARMA, a dog and cat rescue organization in Corrales, N.M.

How does Cena do it?
Every time he gets more boos than cheers in the most hostile smarky cities like Chicago at extreme rules or Montreal two weeks ago where he got " you can't wrestle" and "fuck you chants" he goes off on a tangent and then kisses the crowds ass and they begin to give him a 95% positive reaction.
Re: How does Cena do it?
Cause he's a pandering fucking kiss ass who begs for cheers. You just said it, ass kisser. People love to have their ass kissed and Cena is the master of shameless, soul sucking pandering.
Re: How does Cena do it?
"I don't care what you think of me"
You know, I can't tell, but there's something definitely up with Cena that we can't see tbh. Talented fella, but I really don't know what game he's playing anymore.
Re: How does Cena do it?
Because people are stupid, as soon as he mentions the name of their city or points out some charity he's involved with they feel obliged to cheer him. To be fair it's literally impossible to boo a guy who is cutting a promo about a breast cancer charity without looking like a complete jerk. I wish someone would pick him up on this and really go to town on his charity ass-kissing, it's one thing to support charities and another to use them to boost your own popularity as Cena does on virtually a weekly basis.
Re: How does Cena do it?
Lifts Rise Aove Cancer Hat
Thank you for supporting the fight against cancer!!!!!
People: Aww shit
Re: How does Cena do it?
He used Cancer as a means to get cheers. What a fucking miserable human being.
Re: How does Cena do it?
But even before he used cancer like at extreme rules this year against brock and two weeks ago in ontreal one of the smarkiest places
Re: How does Cena do it?
The ER match with Brock was one of the best worked matches of the year. The fact it got the crowd to turn the way it did is testament to that.
Re: How does Cena do it?
These guys are just haters, he is NOT using it to get cheers, he is NOT a "misrable" human being
He just is hated so much and he is still on top so these guys feel the need to find any fault what so ever
As for why, he knows how to work a crowd.
this guy has been doing this stuff for years and years, and he keeps doing it, you dont hear of half the stuff he dose.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - An Alabama man who busted out of the Barbour County, Ala., jail 16 years ago and fatally shot a police officer and another man in the midst of a crime spree is set to die in South Carolina's execution chamber.
Thomas Treshawn Ivey is scheduled to be executed at 6 p.m. Friday for killing Tommy Harrison, a 38-year-old Orangeburg police sergeant.
The 34-year-old Union Springs man has pursued all of his state appeals.
A last request for either a stay of execution or a chance at a new trial now sits before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Harrison's mother says the family does not plan to witness Ivey's execution but hopes his death will bring them closure.
Ivey would be the 42nd person executed in South Carolina since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976 and the 283rd in the state's history.

I'm getting the following error in my Rails application and I have no idea how to go about debugging or fixing it:

OmniAuth used to work fine, then I mashed it up trying to swap to a fork by pchilton which supported flickr. I did this by setting :git => in the gemfile and trying to reinstall but im not confident I ever did it right.
I have now manually removed all omniauth and oa- foo gem files and installed first the current stable (0.1.6) and the git master copy but all errors are the same.
Really at a loss here, nobody I know has any idea what the problem is.

In Hosting Debate, Ole Miss Steps Away From Its Past
Site of Deadly Riots During Integration Seeks Redemption
For the University of Mississippi, hosting the first presidential debate involving an African-American nominee this Friday will cap a long effort to redeem a school linked with the most violent era of segregation.
Ole Miss, as the school is known, gained infamy in 1962, when U.S. soldiers were called in to put down a riot resisting the enrollment of the school's first African-American student, James Meredith. It was a crucible in the battle over integration in Mississippi, where the 1955 murder of a 14-year-old black boy had helped start the civil-rights movement and the murders of three civil-rights activists in 1964 spurred congressional passage 11 days later of the Civil Rights Act.
Here even coincidences can be sensitive: The nickname Ole Miss is an honorific that slaves reserved for the mistress of the plantation. Over the past decade, Chancellor Robert Khayat has pushed Ole Miss through a grinding transformation. After taking over in 1995, he banned Confederate flags at football games, provoking an unsuccessful federal lawsuit and death threats that led him to hire a bodyguard. A beloved Ole Miss athlete in the late 1950s, Mr. Khayat, 70 years old, also removed the venerable sports mascot, the Confederate Colonel Rebel.
"It was a virtual war," Mr. Khayat said.
He approved a new campus institute for racial reconciliation that helped organize blacks and whites to formally demand prosecutions in the unsolved 1964 civil-rights murders, a move that led to the 2005 conviction of a former member of the Ku Klux Klan.
In 2002, on the 40th anniversary of Mr. Meredith's admission, the school for the first time honored the surviving soldiers who had subdued the mob.
Black students, for years reluctant to enroll, now comprise 16% of the student body. School officials say their goal is 37%, reflecting blacks' representation in the state.
Freshman Rico Glass, an African-American from Weir, Miss., said his friends warned that enrolling would mean "getting around all these white people, and they are going to call you names, like you don't belong here. It's not that kind of atmosphere. You can be yourself."
Others say hostilities still percolate. Last year, a fraternity was suspended after a black student complained that he received a racial slur, was assaulted and pushed out of a party at the fraternity house. Senior Paul Quinn, who is white, said the flagrant racism he witnessed led him to temporarily withdraw from Ole Miss as a freshman. "There definitely are a lot of people who don't help out the cause," he said. "They don't belong on our campus....But it's not a majority."
Mr. Khayat tripled fund raising, which paid for the $27 million performing arts center that will house the debate.
When Washington journalist Thomas Oliphant visited the campus in 2003, he said, he was delighted to find a university that appeared as progressive as it had been intolerant in 1962. One afternoon over lunch in downtown Oxford, Mr. Oliphant gushed to a friend on the faculty, journalism professor Curtis Wilkie: "Wouldn't it be great to have a debate here?"
Mr. Khayat embraced the idea. Mr. Oliphant, a 37-year fixture in political circles as a reporter and columnist at the Boston Globe, began pressing the idea in Washington. Thus a liberal Yankee writer became the patron for reintroducing Ole Miss to the nation.
"I was just effused with this notion that this place would be perfect after all we've been through as a country," said Mr. Oliphant, now retired. "We began quietly proselytizing."
Ole Miss first wanted to host a presidential debate in 2004, but pulled out of the competition, citing concerns about the security cost of a visit from a sitting president, with George W. Bush seeking re-election. Mr. Khayat said the campus also labored under an "inferiority complex." It was a sensitive time, as Ole Miss still was taking criticism for eliminating its mascot, and some donors were withholding millions of dollars to protest the decision.
In 2006, Ole Miss unveiled a life-size bronze likeness of Mr. Meredith, and praise streamed from all quarters. "One of the things we agreed on is we did not want to be historical revisionists," Mr. Khayat said. "We are who we are, but we're not who we were."
Riding the momentum, Mr. Khayat in the spring of 2007 set his sights on winning one of three debates scheduled for the 2008 election cycle. The bid pit Ole Miss against New Orleans, which was aggressively pushing the story of its recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
Oxford, the city of 19,000 where Ole Miss is located, had glaring disadvantages compared with New Orleans, such as fewer than 700 hotel rooms and no major airport within 80 miles. The debate's producers were concerned that no facility could accommodate the news media. The university raised $4 million and built a gigantic media tent, ran a redundant power line to Jackson, Miss., and will provide transportation to hotels in surrounding cities.
In November, the Commission on Presidential Debates awarded the bid to Ole Miss, and the other two debates to Belmont University in Tennessee and Hofstra University in New York. "I think having the program in the Deep South is attractive," said Mr. Khayat. "There's something nice about little Ole Miss finally making a move."

Word has it that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are going to name their baby North, so that the kid's full name will be North West.
This is coming from UK tabloid The Sun.
"Kanye's ego is something else, so he's quite serious about the title," an inside source told The Sun. "He also has a sense of humor though and knows how his self-indulgence is seen by the general public. It's half tongue-in-cheek, half what Kanye probably feels is true."
The baby will arrive this July.

Your #lovecapetown Weekend: Things to do from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 January, 2014
It's your long awaited payday weekend in #lovecapetown and boy, is it going to be fun!
From enjoying Shakespeare in the Park to blasting your vuvuzelas at a soccer match and rocking out with a legend in Bellville, there is plenty to see and do in the Mother City.
Join me at the following events in Cape Town from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 January, 2014:
The Tragedy of King Richard III
The Bard's diabolical tale of King Richard's cunning (and often bloody) short-lived reign of England is told in theatrical splendour at the impressive Maynardville Open-Air Theatre this summer.
Warrick Grier as the villainous Richard is utterly captivating and the brilliant direction of Lara Bye, coupled with set design by Mari Borstlap and lighting by Faheem Bardien give this Shakespearean classic a gothic, modern feel.
There are few things I love more than theatre and picnics in a park, and with this production, you can happily do both.
Book your tickets for this must-see classic at Computicket.
We're hurtling full speed ahead towards the finals of the thrilling African Cup of Nations and this Saturday, the Cape Town Stadium plays host to the highly anticipated match between Morocco and Nigeria.
Kick-off is at 17h00. Get your tickets at Computicket.
Bruce Springsteen Live
Rock legend Bruce Springsteen and his band E Street are set to bring down the house at Bellville Velodrome with the first of their series of concerts in #lovecapetown this Sunday.
Tickets are available at Computicket.

Wheel sizing
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The wheel size for a motor vehicle or similar wheel has a number of parameters.
Bolt pattern[edit]
The bolt pattern determines the number and position of the mounting holes to allow the wheel to be bolted to the hub. As the bolts are evenly spaced, the number of bolts determines the pattern. For example: smaller cars have three (Citroën 2CV, Renault 4, some Peugeot 106s and Citroën Saxos). Compact cars may have four bolts. Most United States passenger cars have five bolts. Pickup trucks, large SUVs, and armored vehicles may have as many as six, eight, or ten. It is not unheard of to find vehicles with even more, such as enormous coal mining transporters that may have twelve.
Bolt circle[edit]
The bolt circle is the notional circle determined by the positions of the bolts. The center of every bolt lies on the circumference of the bolt circle. The important measurement is the bolt circle diameter (BCD),[1] also called the pitch circle diameter (PCD).[2]
Bolt pattern guide by manufacturer
A general guide to common bolt patterns by manufacturer:

This guide is accurate for most of the cars made by the listed manufacturers, but it is important to check and make sure before purchasing new aftermarket wheels.
The BCD may be expressed in millimeters or inches, and is usually given with the number of bolts. For example, a 1974 MG B has a 4/4.5 inch (4/114.3 mm) wheel hub, meaning it has a 4-bolt pattern with a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter.
The most common BCD values are 100 mm (≈3.94 inches) and 4.5 inches (114.3 mm). Many old British cars use 4 x 4"
Special BCD values are: 95.25 mm (for MG F and Rover Metro), 98 mm (for Fiat group automobiles), 101.6 mm (for Mini, MG, Austin Metro), 100 or 105 mm (for some GM vehicles), 108 mm (mostly for PSA, Ford and Lincoln), 110 mm (for some GM vehicles), 112 mm (for Mercedes-Benz and some VW group vehicles), 115 mm (for some GM vehicles), 120 mm (mostly for BMW), 130 mm (for Porsche), 170 mm (for Saab 96). Old British Triumph cars used 4 x 3.75" using 3/8" studs. (7/16" or M12 studs are advisable for track use) Air-cooled VWs (through 1983 on select vehicles alternating with the 4 x 130 bolt pattern introduced in 1966 - 2003 (last used with the 2003 Mexican Beetle) and Porsche 356s used a 5 x 205mm bolt pattern, commonly known as a Wide Five - still used with VW-powered sandrails.
Determining the bolt circle[edit]
For a 4- or 6-bolt wheel, this measurement is 2x3.142 x r where r is 1/2 the diameter between the centre of two diametrically opposite bolts or holes. The BCD is the distance between the centres of two diametrically opposite bolts.
Some basic geometry is needed to find the center of a 5-bolt pattern. In practice, the BCD can be found by multiplying the center distance between any two adjacent holes by 1.701.
BCD geometry of 5-bolt pattern
half the top angle of a 5-bolt wheel is:
using a unity center distance of 1, a bolt circle diameter = 2 × radius, and sin(36) = 0.58778:
Generally, the BCD b can be calculated for any wheel from the number of bolts n and the center distance d between two adjacent bolts as: .
A far easier way, using less math, is to take calipers and measure the hole size in the center of the wheel (note half of this dimension). Next measure the distance between the edge of the center hole and the center of one stud. Double this measurement and add it to the Noted sum. Job done! (That is determine the radius of the hole size, not the diameter) This method works with any number of studs.
Lug nuts or bolts[edit]
Wheels must be fitted with the correct type of lug nuts on wheel studs, or bolts. Lug nuts (aka wheel nuts in British English) are usually either flat, tapered (generally at 60 degrees and referred to as conical seat), or ball seats, meaning the mounting surfaces are flat, tapered, or spherical respectively.
Most Mercedes have ball lug seats from the factory while most aftermarket wheels have a tapered lug design. Wrong lug nuts for the wheel will not properly center it and cause wobble. Some manufacturers (e.g. Toyota and Lexus) have used taper lug nuts for steel wheels and flat seated lug nuts for alloy wheels.
Some aftermarket wheels will only fit smaller lug nuts, or not allow an ordinary lug nut to be properly torqued down because a socket will not fit into the lug hole. Tuner lug nuts were created to solve this problem by utilizing a special key to allow removal and installation with standard lug wrench or socket. The design of tuner lug nuts can range from bit style to multisided or spline drive, and are sometimes lightweight for performance purposes.
A variation is the "locking wheel nut", which is almost universally used for alloy wheels in the United Kingdom. One standard lug nut on each wheel is replaced with a nut which requires a special and unique key (typically a computer-designed, rounded star shape) to fit and remove the nut. This helps to discourage theft of wheels. However, universal removal tools are available which grip the head of the locking nut using a hardened left-hand thread. The success of these depends on whether there is room to use it in the lug hole, and whether the manufacturer has incorporated a free-spinning outer casing to the lock. Keeping an appropriate tool to lock and unlock aftermarket nuts, and a spare set of nuts, with the spare tire in the boot of the car is recommended by manufacturers.
The offset, measured in millimeters, can be negative or positive, and is the distance from the hub-mounting surface to the rim's true centerline. A positive offset means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the outside edge of the wheel, i.e. the wheel wraps around the hub and brake hardware more deeply; a negative offset means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the inside edge of the wheel and wheel sticks outwards more than inwards.
When selecting aftermarket wheels, a wheel with too little positive offset will be closer to edge of the fender, and one with too much positive offset will tuck inside the fender and be closer to the suspension components. Wheel width, offset and tire size all determine the way a particular wheel/tire combination will work on a given car. Offset also affects the scrub radius of the steering and it is advisable to stay within the limits allowed by the vehicle manufacturer. Because wheel offset changes the lever-arm length between the center of the tire and the centerline of the steering knuckle, the way bumps, road imperfections and acceleration and braking forces are translated to steering torques (bump-steer, torque-steer, etc.) will change depending on wheel offset. Likewise, the wheel bearings will see increased thrust loads if the wheel centerline is moved away from the bearing centerline.
In other words, using the stock wheel offset number as the starting point, a lower off set number makes the wheel stick out more and a with higher number it sticks out less. (Lower is out more, higher is in more.)
Wheel size[edit]
The wheel size is the diameter of the wheel in inches where the beads of the tire sit on the wheel. This measurement does not include the rim flange. Modern road tires have several measurements associated with their size as specified by tire codes like 225/70R14. The first number in the code (e.g., "225") represents the nominal tire width in millimeters. This is followed by the aspect ratio (e.g.,"70"), which is the height of the side wall expressed as a percentage of the nominal width. "R" stands for radial and relates to the tire construction. The final number in the code (e.g.,"14") is the rim size measured in inches. The overall circumference of the tire will increase by increasing any of the tire's specifications. For example, increasing the width of the tire will also increase its circumference, because the side wall height is a proportional length. Increasing the aspect ratio will increase the height of the tire and hence the circumference.
Replacing the wheels on a car with larger ones, normally for a perceived improvement in appearance, also involves using tires with a reduced profile number (often as low as 35%) to keep the overall rolling radius within a few per cent of the original tire. If this is not done, gearing and speedometer accuracy are affected. All other things being equal, larger replacement wheels give a harsher ride because of the shorter and stiffer tire sidewall, in exchange for better handling and higher cornering limits due to the lower sidewall flex. In contrast, a car designed to have large wheels from the outset may have a more normal tire profile and gives a smoother ride due to the larger rolling radius of the tire.
Some wheels also have their diameter quoted in mm as opposed to inches ("metric" wheels). An example of a typical tyre size is 160/65r315, where '315' denotes the wheel diameter in mm.
Off-roading tires may use a different measurement scheme: outside diameter times(by) tread width, followed by rim size (all in inches) - for example 31x10.50R15. The size of the disc however is denoted like 8.5" X 20.0". This shall mean that the width (of thickness) of the wheel is 8.5 inches and the diameter is 20 inches.
A dub is a custom wheel that has a wheel size of 20 inches or greater; the term dub is a slang term for twenty. DUBS may have originated as an abbreviation for double-deuces, or 22 in wheels. DUB Magazine, an automotive enthusiasts magazine, takes its name from the term and covers material chiefly pertaining to urban vehicles and the people that own them.
The centerbore of a wheel is the size of the hole in the back of the wheel that centers it over the mounting hub of the car. Some factory wheels have a centerbore that matches exactly with the hub to reduce vibration by keeping the wheel centered. Wheels with the correct centerbore to the car they will be mounted on are known as hubcentric. Hubcentric wheels take the stress off the lug nuts, reducing the job of the lug nuts to center the wheel to the car. Wheels that are not hubcentric are known as lugcentric, as the job of centering is done by the lug nuts assuming they are properly torqued down.
Centerbore on aftermarket wheels must be equal to or greater than that of the hub, otherwise the wheel cannot be mounted on the car. Many aftermarket wheels come with "hubcentric rings" that lock or slide into the back of the wheel to adapt a wheel with a larger centerbore to a smaller hub.[5] These adapters are usually made of plastic but also in aluminum. Plastic rings only provide initial centering, but are not strong enough to help support the wheel in case of high speed pot hole hit. Steel ring is strongest, and aluminum is medium
Caliper Clearance (X-factor): The amount of clearance built into the wheel to allow for the vehicle's disc brake and caliper assembly.
Load capacity[edit]
Load capacity is the amount of weight a wheel will carry. This number will vary depending on the number of lugs, the PCD, the material used and the type of axle the wheel is used on. A wheel used on a free rolling trailer axle will carry more weight than that same wheel used on the drive or steering axle of a vehicle. All wheels will have the load capacity stamped on the back of the wheel.
This is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. In the United States this information is required to be on the vehicle's door placard. The load capacity of the total number of wheels on the vehicle combined must meet or exceed the vehicle's GVWR.

Driver acquitted in NY crash caseDecember 09,2012NEW YORK A tour bus driver who prosecutors said was all but asleep at the wheel was acquitted Friday of manslaughter and negligent homicide in a crash last year that killed 15 gamblers on their way from a Connecticut casino to New York City.
Ophadell Williams was found guilty on one count of aggravated unlicensed driving.
Williams wept and covered his face with his hands as the verdict was read. On the count which he was found guilty, the judge sentenced him to 30 days in prison, which he has served. He also was ordered to pay a fee of $500.
Williams argued throughout the trial that he had been awake and alert, and he said the crash was not the result of reckless behavior or extreme exhaustion. He said a tractor-trailer cut him off, causing him to swerve and hit a guardrail. But investigators could find no indication that had occurred.
His lawyer had said he was wracked with guilt over the crash but not guilty of manslaughter.
It happened as a motor vehicle accident, not as some crime, said Williams lawyer, Patrick Bruno. He tried to avoid tragedy, and tragedy occurred.MORE IN Wire NewsPHILADELPHIA On the heels of a tumultuous Republican convention, Hillary Clinton hopes her... Full Story

Third night outWind: none
03-Mar-2012, Turned the corner, now with direct course to Galapagos
At 1500 local time yesterday (Friday, 02MAR) we passed about 40nm east of Malpelo Island (Colombia) and turned the corner for a direct course to the Galapagos. The wind had been perfect up to then but started to slowly die soon thereafter. The Intratropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ, "the Doldrums") had dropped below the Equator for a few days but is moving up again now. With us moving south we are fast converging.... After wallowing around for 9 hours we have started up the "iron sail" (i.e. our good old Beta Marine engine) at 0300 and are now motoring at just above 5 knots. If forecasts are right, light winds should set in again in a couple of days, and will hoprefully allow us to sail again on a close reach. All is well aboard, stay tuned....
Under way againWind N@15-20kn
01-Mar-2012, Under way to Galapagos
Weighed anchor at 0845 this morning and started our sail to the Galapagos. After a few hours of light westerly winds a steady breeze from the north settled in and we had a great afternoon, sailing under Parasailor and Hydrovane. Had a big school of spotted dolphins play with us before sunset. Switched back to genoa for the night and are now sailing under stary skies, with the Big Dipper behind us and the Souther Cros ahead of us. Seas a bit confused as we pass the edge of the Continental Shelf, but nothing big. Nicky is asleep in the cockpit, all is well aboard.
Second night out...Wind NE@15kn
01-Mar-2012, Under way to Galapagos
..again under stary clear skies. Had a nice relaxed sailing day with good progress and some help from the current. The Pilot Charts for March show a large circular clockwise setting current in the basin formed by Panama and Columbia, and it seems we're riding the south setting portion of it (by luck rather than by design...). 671 nm to go to the Galapgos. All is well aboard, stay tuned...

Michael Thomas, the former Mashantucket Pequot tribal chairman accused of charging personal expenses to a tribe-issued credit card, shouldn't be allowed to bring up the criminal record of his former accountant in the event he blames the accountant for his alleged offense, federal prosecutors contend.
Nor, they argue, should Thomas be allowed to pursue what amounts to an "everybody-is-doing-it" defense.
The prosecutors, in a motion filed Sunday in U.S. District Court in New Haven, say they anticipate Thomas may try to shift responsibility to F. Robert LaSaracina, the former Norwich accountant who pleaded guilty in 2011 to federal fraud and tax charges. LaSaracina admitted fleecing investors in a Ponzi scheme he masterminded as well as beneficiaries of a Norwich estate he served as trustee. He is serving a 63-month prison term.
Thomas' trial on charges he stole more than $100,000 from the tribe that owns Foxwoods Resort Casino is scheduled for next week.
LaSaracina, who had been incarcerated at a federal penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pa., was being held as recently as last week at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website. His location Monday was listed as "in transit."
"Mr. LaSaracina will not be a (prosecution) witness at trial, nor will any of his statements be offered at trial ...," the prosecutors say in their motion. The federal public defender representing Thomas did not return a message seeking comment on whether he intends to call LaSaracina as a witness.
The prosecutors say they believe Thomas may attempt to offer evidence that LaSaracina, who had signatory authority on one of Thomas' personal checking accounts, was responsible for reimbursing the tribe for personal expenses Thomas charged to an American Express card.
"To bolster this purported defense, the defendant may seek to offer or disclose through questioning Mr. LaSaracina's unrelated fraud convictions and the conduct underlying those convictions, even though those matters are completely unrelated to the allegations against Mr. Thomas," the motion says. "... Mr. Thomas should not be permitted to offer evidence of Mr. LaSaracina's unrelated federal convictions for wire fraud and willful failure to pay or collect taxes."
Thomas, the prosecutors say, may also try to offer evidence that other tribal members and employees of the tribe routinely used tribe-issued American Express cards for personal use. By demonstrating that such activity was an accepted practice, Thomas would try to show that he acted in good faith when he did the same, the prosecutors say.
"In essence," they say, "the defendant would seek to put other MPTN (Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation) employees on trial with him."
The prosecutors cite a ruling in an unrelated case in which a U.S. appellate court characterized a similar defense strategy as the "everybody-is-doing-it defense."
In a previous filing in the case, prosecutors moved to prevent Thomas from defending himself by arguing that he intended to reimburse the tribe for the personal expenses he charged. Those credit-card charges include private limousine service for a family member, the prosecutors allege in their latest motion.

Treating Male Vein Conditions
Most men are surprised to learn that they can suffer from the vein conditions that they thought only affected women. While it's true that cosmetic conditions such as spider veins (clusters of discolored veins) arise mostly in women, there are other vein conditions — even painful ones — that occur in men equally.
what are vein disorders?First of all, let's understand how your body's blood circulation system works: the heart circulates oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to all parts of the body via a network of blood vessels called arteries. It is your heart that does nearly all the work of pumping blood in this process.
After delivering oxygen to the cells, the blood then returns to the heart via another network of blood vessels called veins. However, there is no active "pumping" mechanism to bring the blood back to the heart. Moreover, blood from the legs has to work against the pull of gravity to return to the heart. So how does the blood flow "uphill" to the heart?
Well, each vein has a special set of one-way valves that allow blood to return to the heart. By moving and walking, your muscle's contractions squeeze the blood in your veins to move through the valves, progressively closer to the heart. These valves then automatically close shut, to equalize the blood pressure along the veins and to prevent the blood from going backward and pooling into your foot.
Most vein conditions can be traced to failures in these valves. For instance, if they do not close properly, blood can reverse direction and drain away from the heart. Vein conditions are very common, especially among the older population. It has been estimated that as many as 60% of Americans suffer from some form of vein disorder.
Two major vein disorders are varicose veins and venous insufficiency.
Keep those legs one color by avoiding these disorders...

'Waitress' Serves A Filmmaker's Sweet Legacy
Every day of her working life at a diner in a small Southern town, Jenna, the lovelorn heroine of "Waitress," bakes a new pie of her own invention. Jenna's creations are her gift to the world. When she isn't baking pies that look and taste sublime, she's sublimating her dreams of happiness, and her present marital misery, into culinary fantasies with names like I Hate My Husband Pie. ("You take bittersweet chocolate and don't sweeten it.") If this delicious comedy were edible, it might be called "My Last Gift to the World Pie." The writer-director Adrienne Shelly, who died in New York City late last year at the age of 40, took such perishable ingredients as wit, daring, poignancy, whimsy and romance, added passionate feelings plus the constant possibility of joy, decorated her one-of-a-kind production with pastel colors and created something close to perfection.
Keri Russell's performance as Jenna must have made Shelly joyful; it's a flawless expression of the movie's sweet, smart soul. Married to a man worth hating and suddenly appalled to find herself pregnant with his baby, this dreamy young woman can crack you up or break your heart with equal ease. That's the wonder of what's been accomplished here. "Waitress" looks like a beguiling cartoon -- the Coen Brothers crossed with "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg." Every element has been stylized: the cinematography (by Matthew Irving), the costumes (by Ariyela Wald-Cohain) and the production design (by Ramsey Avery), as well as Shelly's direction that treats the dialogue as lyrics to unheard music. (Andrew Hollander did the fine music that is heard.) Yet the cartoon never lapses into caricature or condescension, and just beneath the bright, cheerful surface lies poetic longing and the urgency of love.
The filmmaker herself plays the role of winsome Dawn, one of Jenna's two fellow waitresses and friends at Joe's Pie Diner; the other member of the steadfast little sorority is Cheryl Hines's raffish Becky. Neither one would trade places with Jenna because of what she's been forced to endure from her husband, Earl: He's portrayed skillfully by Jeremy Sisto as a nasty, brutish narcissist whose redeeming quality -- for us, not for poor Jenna -- is his entertainment value. Nathan Fillion is Dr. Pomatter, Jenna's handsome, charmingly neurotic obstetrician, whom she sees, through the gauzy filter of need, as her last hope for happiness. (Her only hope for financial independence appears to be a local bakeoff with a best-pie prize of $25,000.) Lew Temple plays Cal, the diner's laconic short-order cook, and Eddie Jemison is the love of Dawn's life, the boobishly amorous Ogie.
Shelly's direction of all of her actors seems unerring, and consistently generous, but one casting choice was inspired: Andy Griffith as Joe, the diner's owner. An octogenarian who looks his age, and looks like he's enjoying it, this comic virtuoso is as commanding as ever, but with a new dimension of restraint; he gives Joe a sly kindness that grows less sly as the old man's fondness for Jenna deepens. The two of them are wonderful together. When Joe launches into an extended appreciation of Jenna's Strawberry-Chocolate Oasis Pie, his flowing phrases are both eloquent and ardent.
Aspiring filmmakers could profit from studying that exchange, which looks as simple as apple pie -- nothing forced, nothing dwelled on, no tight close-ups to sell big moments, just discreet camera moves that amount to optical tiptoes, precise editing that leaves each moment on a still-rising note, and abiding trust in what a pair of expert performers can do with a strongly crafted scene. But the manifold beauties of "Waitress" are emotional, not technical, and the movie is full of surprises: the aftermath of Jenna's second visit to Dr. Pomatter's clinic; Ogie's preposterous outbursts of spontaneous verse (which recalled for me the effusions of a lovable fool in Dylan Thomas's "Under Milk Wood"); Earl's lugubrious meltdown, the short-order cook's longer-than-expected reply to Jenna's simple question of whether he's happy.
Even the pie leitmotif provides a measure of surprise. Not only does each concoction look scrumptious; each suggests new comic or erotic content. But another leitmotif emerges later in the film, one that takes the cake for conflicted feelings. It's a series of thoughts and tumultuous emotions, sometimes couched as letters, that Jenna shares aloud with her unborn baby. Life hasn't been easy for this mother-to-be, and it promises to get harder, since she doesn't want the baby, though getting rid of it is not an option. But "Waitress" isn't tragedy. It's fantasy couched as comedy -- a movie in which life does right by people who want to do the right thing, and everything has a way of working out in the end, not just for the better, but the very best.
By the time the picture ends, Jenna's baby, Lulu, has grown into a gorgeous toddler played by the filmmaker's daughter, Sophie. But this brings us back to the real-life tragedy of Adrienne Shelly's death, and to its horrific circumstances. Last November she was brutally murdered by a construction worker in her Greenwich Village office, a fact that I omitted at the beginning of the review to keep a sense of her last movie from being dominated by feelings about her death.
They can't be kept separate indefinitely, of course; once you know what happened, there's no way to unknow it. And the tragedy is all the more affecting because Shelly was so gifted. She first made her mark in the early 1990s as an actress in two independent films by Hal Hartley, "The Unbelievable Truth" and "Trust," and appeared most recently in a screen adaptation of Charles Bukowski stories called "Factotum." As the writer-director of her own feature films, she made "Sudden Manhattan" (1997) and "I'll Take You There" (1999). Then she broke through to a new level of artistry with "Waitress," which would stand on its own as a remarkable achievement if you knew absolutely nothing about the woman who made it.
Talk about leaving on a rising note.

Very good location near Piazza do Roma and Railway station. Close to Grand Canal and many restaurants.
Very good young man on reception who was very helpful and had good English. And who seemed to be there 24/7. When does he sleep?
Room clean and quiet. Good air conditioning. We booked the hotel so got a good rate for Venice.
I rate this hotel 4 Star for location.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Florida Venice
Besides location, it's just really not that great
This hotel is pretty centrally located. It's near a taxi (boat) stand, and the train station, and it's at the crossroad of all the shopping streets. But to access it, you'll have to walk down a pretty dingy stinky alley (if you've been in Italy long enough though, you'll be used to this). The room itself is fairly small, but it's bearable.
Unfortunately however, it's state of cleanliness leaves much to be desired. There was icky dirt in corners and crevices, and on areas where you would really rather not see any at all, like on your bed, the headboard and the side tables (for example, there was some crusty dried stuff running down one of the tables). There were also blood stains from some previous occupant clearly imprinted on one of the chair cushions. The bathroom was cramped and badly-lit. For breakfast, expect only baked stuff like croissants and old rolls. There isn't yogurt or cereal like at many other Italian hotels. And o, be sure to check where your room is located. Get it above, or too near, their restaurant, and you can expect yelling, fighting and other forms of noise and rowdiness through the night till the early hours of morning.
Great location, but hotel is so-so
WE reserved a quad room with bath, but they gave us 2 doubles, one without bath. Bed sagged in middle and pillows were rock hard. However, location can't be beat. Just steps from Grand Canal, Vaporetta stop, and Train Station. Don't walk from Piazzale Roma with bags - many bridges to cross.
Hotel Florida
I consider the Florida to be excellent value for money, pleasantly situated close to all the access routes. The service I have always found to be courteous and efficient, and have always enjoyed my visits. In Venice I feel it represents excellent value for money. This hotel served our needs quite well. It was very near the train station and very convienient for canal travelling. I would reccomend it to any one who is not looking for 4 star accomodations. Great basic lodging!
Avoid it!
Had booked a double room via their Web site on internet and got confirmation by email.
On arrival at nearly midnight, we were told that our room had been sold so we couldn't stay there.
As you can imagine we were totally baffled by the news and angry. As we didn't know Venice at all we asked if they could at least somewhere else to stay. The receptionist was very off-hand and rude and unhelpful.
Eventually we walked out and found a hotel just around the corner and luckily they had a last room available for us so we stayed there for 4 nights and had a lovely time. The hotel name is Universo Nord and we recommend it. It is a 3-star and in the same price range as the Florida that is only a 2-star.

There was an English girl outside on the phone to somebody, sitting by the edge of the canal and framed by a brick archway, a few rowing boats bobbing discreetly in the background.

... completely blown away by this city! In fact I became quite emotional! It is just like nothing I have ever seen before- old, old buildings, canals of every size in all directions, no traffic noise, the sounds of Italians chatting and some even singing, the smell of true Italian food.

Ah, Venice!
We spent Sunday in Venice, a city which 1) does in fact NOT smell like a gigantic wharf and 2) does not allow you to travel in a straight line to get anywhere. The labyrinthine streets of Venice twist and wind through the city, becoming almost too narrow to squeeze through in many places, occasionally terminating at a dead end or an uncrossable canal.

Hi all,
I'm a Textpattern convert, trying to get things going with WordPress. So far, so good, but experiencing one problem with a freshWP 1.5 install. The blog in question can be seen at:
I input the entries from my weblog (copying and pasting from Textpattern) and set WordPress to display only 1 entry per page. I've also moved the index.php out of the WP directory and into the root of my site.
At the bottom of my index page there's a "Previous Entries" link, and even though clicking it links to http://www.nevrglow.com/page/2/ the same post (my latest post) is always displayed. Along the same lines, click one of the Archive links in the sidebar (March for example, which links to http://www.nevrglow.com/journal/2005/03/) also displays just my latest post. I haven't tinkered around with the templates much at all, except for removing the 'meta' bit from the sidebar. I should also mention that I ~am~ sure other posts exist -- if I set WP to display more than 1 entry per page, all is good.
Is there a quick fix to this problem? I've search the forums here and found nothing... ;(
Thanks in advance!

Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Farrell), even though he's got a beautiful wife (Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.
