New terrorist bombing in Pakistan, as Taliban ceasefire expires
A powerful explosion in a fruit and vegetable market in Islamabad,the capital city of Pakistan, killed at least 24 people andinjured hundreds. It's believed that the bomb was storedin a wooden fruit crate and was detonated when the fruit cratewas delivered to the market.
A Taliban linked terrorist group, United Baloch Army (UBA) claimedresponsibility for the bombing, giving as reasons revenge againstgovernment security forces, and demanding a separate state forBalochistan.
However, Pakistan's Interior Ministry is denying that UBA wasresponsible for the bombing, and is saying that it was the consequenceof a disagreement among factions of the Pakistani Taliban(Tehrik-e-Taliban – TTP). Last month, TTP announced a unilateralceasefire, in order to give peace talks with the government a chance.( "11-Mar-14 World View — Terrorist bombings continue in Pakistan despite so-called 'cease-fire'")
That one-month ceasefire expires on April 10, and there is bitterdisagreement among the leadership of various TTP groups about whetherthe ceasefire period should be extended. It's believed that thebombing attack is related to that disagreement. However, a TTPspokesman said that the TTP had nothing to do with the bombing.
Like the Mideast peace talks, the Taliban peace talks are consideredsomething of a joke by observers. TTP originally demanded that threeconditions be met before any peace talks can begin: TTP prisoners mustbe released from jail, the army must be withdrawn from the tribalareas where it has been fighting the Taliban, and the government mustagree to impose Sharia law on the entire country. Finally, the TTPagreed to the one-month ceasefire, but it only recently emerged itturned out that this commitment was made because prime minister Nawaz Sharif agreed to release 19Taliban militants from jail. Sharif secretly kept this process lastmonth, though the secret was revealed last week.
If it weren't so serious, it would be amusing that both the Mideastjoke, are both about to expire, and were both based on a promise torelease convicted militants from jail. Daily Times (Pakistan) and The News (Pakistan)
John Kerry's 'Poof' speech infuriates the Israelis
As I reported yesterday,U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry blamed Israel in a Senate hearingfor the collapse of the Mideast "peace talks" that he had set up lastyear in July. I quoted the official transcript on the State Dept. website, but apparently there was an additional statement that didn'tmake it onto the web site.
Kerry said that the Mideast "peace talks" collapsed when Israelrefused to release the fourth batch of prisoners who had beenconvicted of terrorist acts prior to the 1994 Oslo accords.And then, according to Kerry, Israel moved ahead with plans toapprove 700 West Bank settlements.
"And, poof! That was sort of the moment. We findourselves where we are."
Kerry was implying that, until that moment, the "peace talks" were ontrack, or close to being on track, but "poof!", Israel threw it allaway.
This particular remark is infuriating Israelis, who point out that thePalestinians had broken a number of commitments, and hadrefused to commit to continuing the peace talks before applyingto 15 United Nations agencies.
At any rate, as I've written many times, the "peace talks" that Kerryset up were never more than a theatrical show, considered a joke inthe Mideast, and now Kerry is painting himself as a victim, as if tosay, "I worked soooooooooooooo hard to set up these peace talks, butthe two of you, especially Israel, just won't listen to me and do whatI say." Jerusalem Post and Commentary
Palestinians develop political plans to defeat Israel
There are still military resistance groups among the Palestinians, butPalestinian leaders don't have faith in them because they don't appearto have serious, workable plans to change the status quo with respectto Israel. Instead, Palestinian leaders are pursuing twononviolent resistance plans to defeat the Israelis:
- The "anti-wall resistance" is essentially a public relations effort focusing on the wall around Israel, which allow Israel to easily adopt oppressive practices, denying Palestinians their rights and maintaining an illegal military occupation.
- The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement that advocates economic measures to be taken against Israel.
Leaders of both Fatah and Hamas have praised both movements,but some, include Mahmoud Abbas, oppose the idea of boycottingthe state of Israel, because it generates sympathy for Israel.
The total collapse of the peace negotiations, which many people nowexpect, will boost the anti-wall and BDS resistance movements, andwithout the distraction of the negotiations, these movements may be alot more successful. Al-Monitor
'Heartbleed Bug' requires all users to change their passwords
Security experts are warning that a newly discovered securityvulnerability exposes almost all web sites to compromise by a hacker.The bug was accidentally put into the popular OpenSSL (Open sourceSecure Socket Library) software library that's used to encrypt secureconversations between user browsers and web sites. The library iswidely used within web servers for e-mail, banking and other websites, but the bug permits a hacker to steal usernames and passwordsof logged on users. The bug has been around since December 2011, butwas only recently discovered, and was announced on Monday. Oncediscovered it was easy to fix, and most major web sites have fixed thebugs by now.
However, the real question is whether any hackers discovered the bugbefore it was announced and fixed, and have been harvesting usernamesand passwords for weeks or months. This is not a far-fetchedscenario, since there are teams of hackers in China, Russia andeastern Europe who work full time to discover vulnerabilities likethis. For these reason, security experts are strongly recommendingthat all users change their passwords on all the sites they visit,starting with the most important sites.
The bug was discovered in a specific function in the OpenSSL softwarecalled the "heartbeat" function. This function causes your browser toexchange information with a web site every few seconds, in order toverify that the connection still works. The bug is that the serverleaves the heartbeat information in unencrypted form in server memoryfor a brief period of time, and during this period a hacker coulddownload it. For this reason, it's called the "Heartbleed Bug."CNet and Heartbleed.com

Discussion. 1 Sept.
Before we move begin class discussion of The Tempest, act 1 and the first half of Ingo Berensmeyer's "Shakespeare and Media Ecology" (515-523), I want to review some basics of literary analysis and the rhetorical gestures required for successful discussion.
Why Discuss?
Discussion in the literature classroom is an oral and collaborative form of close reading. Close reading, a skill that makes possible all of literally study, is a sort-of tacking back and forth between global, general claims about a text and local, linguistic features. Discoveries made at the local level–revelations about meter, repetition, metaphor, synonym, vehicle, tenor, tone, or unusual features.–shape the claims you make at the global level. The claims at the global level eventually attract key textual patterns that you then shape into a reading. So in discussion we perform the skills required for successful close reading and argument, driven analysis. Discussion also helps us make connections between textual elements and commit new information to memory. For these reasons class discussion is the most widely used pedagogical tool.
Good discussions requires participants to engage one another's ideas. Sustained, collaborative engagement requires the following skills: listening, paraphrase, synthesis, and creativity, i.e. saying again or revoicing. As we discuss the question that follows, I'll ask you to speak to one another's ideas about The Tempest.
Take 5-8 minutes to respond and be prepared to cite specific evidence in the text to support your answer.
Discussion Templates (For more discussion templates seeGerald Graff and Kathy Berkenstein's They Say; I Say)
Try using some of the templates listed below to engage one another's ideas:
Paraphrase: "I hear Jimmy saying______ about topic_________"
Synthesize: "Kelly has supported her point, which is_________, with_________ example from the text."
Contribute: "To build on what Charlie just said, I think_________"
Apply: "The conclusions that Ted draws can also be applied __________"

Having first met Larry Pendleton and Paul Valentine through our good friend, Bwana Big Jim Smith, at SCI some years ago, it was immediately obvious that we were all men cut from the same cloth. A passion for hunting was the obvious link, but the manner of hunting, combined with the species these two gentleman were after is what truly bonded us.
It would be their fourth trip to Africa, their first having been Zimbabwe, then Tanzania, and finally Namibia. South Africa's East Cape would be their choice destination this time round, joining up with Professional Hunters, Carl van Zyl and Greg Hayes.
Together with their teams they took on the mountains for the ever elusive Mountain Reedbuck, Vaal Rhebuck and Klipspringer, before pursuing Cape Bushbuck, Nyala, Warthog, Blesbuck, and Zebra, along our coastal belt.
One particular afternoon up in the mountains of the Great Karoo, while searching for Klipspringer, Carl and Larry spotted a group of three animals high on a ridge above their glassing position. The Klipspringer were feeding in a relaxed manner, and while the spotting scope could hardly make out horns at that distance, the ram seemed to look promising between the mirages of a cold winters afternoon.
We immediately set off into the hills, choosing the "long way up", earring on the side of caution as not to run off an opportunity. That morning we had already looked over two pairs as well as a single male – none of which warranted a closer look.
At first we spotted nothing, sure of the fact that they had to have moved off during the time it took us to reach the top. We indicated to Michael, our local tracker in the area, to move around the rocky ridge as quiet as he could, to see if he could possibly relocate our quarry. Soon he waved us over.
The animals had moved in under a ledge below our position and were in fact a lot closer than what we had expected. We got Larry in position, straddling the right edge of a large boulder.
With the sun starting to set in the west we noticed a pair of Black Eagles diving down towards the Klipspringer's position. The birds were out on the hunt themselves too, immediately catching the attention of the weary Klipspringer. I indicated to Larry to get ready, the Klipspringer would soon be focused on the Eagles, not wanting to let them out of their sight. We waited….
With the setting sun casting a shadow ever nearer our position, I decided it was time to try my best predator calling imitation. Klipspringer are known to be extremely inquisitive, often responding to a fellow animals distress call in an alarming manner.
No sooner had we started calling, literally seconds, when three hungry looking black backed Jackal popped their heads up over a rock below us. Wow! This was action in its rawest form. The Klipspringer too immediately all jumped onto a large boulder, only to spot the Jackal and head west. Our chances were quite literally blown.
That evening around the campfire we relayed our experiences to Greg and Paul, when Greg suggested everything comes in 3's. Both the Black Eagles and Jackals had given it their best shot – we would have our turn the following morning.
We immediately spotted the three again, this time at 350 yards. We decided to give it a go, but the 200 grain from Larry's 300 WinMag was dropping off just too fast, that after the third shot without success we decided to close the gap between us and the animals.
By now the Klipspringer had run off into a side valley, giving us enough time to regather ourselves and get within range, while at the same time settling down again.
Our Klipspringer hunt was a mere one experience of the many we shared on safari. The stories around the dinner table will live on in our memories for ever, with Greg's many comical experiences being a certain highlight.
Towards the end of the hunt when our various team competitions were in full swing, it was decided that hunter against hunter, and PH on PH had been tested, but not tracker on tracker. We dully decided a couple of cull Impala for our trackers, Bless and Zwayi, would provide a great hunt and further challenge as to finally settle who would lay claim to the A-Team status.
The guys did extremely well in fairly limited time and fading light, both earning one shot kills, but more than that breaking out some smiles that will take years to suppress!
On our last day, having hunted all the guys were after and coming to the conclusion that there were no winners or losers, we headed down to the coast for a day of golfing at the Royal Port Alfred Golf Club. Rick joined us, making for another fun-filled day, closing off a safari with two gentleman who arrived as strangers, but left as friends.

Review | Safi Balqis Oxywhite
Safi have been a trusted brand since early 90s. It was one of the most favorite brand of among my high school peers back then. The green moisturizing cream have been a favorite to many including 2 of y sisters. It is a must use item for them till this day. They claim that it keeps away pimple and oily skins. I for one, love the Safi Rania Gold Range. I find the range very moisturizing for my skin. Great to maintain my skin. But today we are not talking about the old Safi range (still can be used no worries), I am here to introduce their new range.
Introducing the new Safi Balqis Oxywhite. It was the current craze that skincare products promotes their range of hydrating/aqua/moisturizing product lines. I guess since the climate change, the atmosphere have become hotter so the skin needs more hydration hence the craze of these aqua lines. The last time that I went for a facial, my beautician told me that skins that is dry tend to get wrinkles earlier and prone to pigmentation as well as may lead to sensitive skin. so remember, moisturize, moisturize , moisturize!
I have tried this Safi Balqis Oxywhite for around a month and here are my verdict. I super love the moisturizing gel. Really really hydrating. I usually wore it at night after the usual routine of face cleanse, toner, essence and then moisturize. The face cleanser is very good too, no tightening feelings and very moist feeling after cleansing. I applied Safi Balqis Oxywhite toner after cleansing and I must say they really do pairs well. It doesn't really tightens your pores but it does well in maintaining your skin and repairs your damaged skin.
What is great :
– very moisturizing
– great with compact powder
What is less good :
– doesn't mix well my foundation and tend to make my face looks cakey
– doesn't absorb well. it kinda just stays on the skin
What is not great about the moisturizer is that it doesn't really absorb well into my skin. There will always be a layer on top of my skin but once washed off, my skin still feels hydrated enough. And that is why I prefer using the moisturizer at night time before sleep.
After a month of use, my skin feels more hydrated and there are less visible lines on my forehead. My forehead tends to be so dry and lines appear when there's not enough hydration.
Safi Balqis Oxywhite range is available at all major stores in Malaysia. For more information do check out :

American Gangster
Are we really supposed to buy the apotheosis of a heroin dealer, his elevation to the status of a black rebel and business pioneer? The worst type of Hollywood hokum. A pity, because there is an interesting story to tell here – about the proliferation of drug culture in American cities, its connection to the Vietnam war and so on. Podgy Russell Crowe, who plays the crusading cop in the film, looks remarkably like Ricky Gervais.

Fighting against insurgents in Afghanistan, Pakistan may get worse before going betterOctober 1st, 2008 - 1:35 pm ICT by ANI
London , Oct 1 (ANI): The fight against the Taliban and Al Qaeda insurgents in Afghanistan and Pakistan might get worse before it got better, said the new head of the US Central Command, Gen. David H. Petraeus, who as the US commander of forces in Iraq oversaw the troop surge that reduced violence there.
Obviously the trends in Afghanistan have been in the wrong direction, and I think everyone is rightly concerned about them, Petraeus said last week. He takes up his job as commander of all American forces in the Middle East and Afghanistan on Oct. 31.
About the situation in Pakistan he said: The heartening aspect is there appears to be a willingness on the part of the Pakistani government and military to undertake the kind of operations necessary. he said he recognized Pakistans determination to handle the problem of extremism using its own forces, as well as its opposition to US military intervention, and added it was to be applauded and helped. He also he welcomed the Pakistan governments recent public recognition that extremism was now the most severe threat facing the country, because that recognition meant it would be adopted through all government institutions.
Certainly in Afghanistan , wresting control of certain areas from the Taliban will be very difficult, he said and added that turning things around in Afghanistan and Pakistan would require taking away militant sanctuaries and strongholds that the insurgents would defend tenaciously, reported the New York Times.
He added that the same went for Pakistan , where, according to him, extremism presented a deadly threat, particularly highlighted by the recent Marriott Hotel bombing. In both places, in certain areas, the going may be tougher before it gets easier, he added.
Gen Petraeuss experience in Iraq has allowed him to develop a comprehensive approach to fighting the counterinsurgency. But, the general was careful not to take any lessons from Iraq too hastily, and said that he would not be directing things in Afghanistan and Pakistan with a several-thousand-mile screwdriver from Central Command. People often ask — What did you learn from Iraq that might be transferable to Afghanistan — The first lesson, the first caution really, is that every situation like this is truly and absolutely unique, and has its own context and specifics and its own texture. Counterinsurgents have to understand that in as nuanced a manner as possible, and then with that kind of understanding try to craft a comprehensive approach to the problems.
He said counterterrorism operations in Iraq were just one small part of that approach, among other efforts, which could include tribal Awakening Councils, jobs programs, efforts at reconciliation and diplomatic relations with neighboring countries.
For Afghanistan , he spoke of increasing international forces and what he called thickening local forces as well, through greater political engagement of tribes and reconciliation with fighters who were not hard-core. There was also the need to engage countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia , to help with the Taliban, he added.
Stressing on the need to work closely with Afghan leaders on all elements of strategy, he said: There has to be as much unity of effort achieved in the overall international effort in complete conjunction with the national government as this moves forward.
Yet some of the Iraq experience is already being examined in the Afghan context, he said, in particular the success of the Awakening Councils, and persuading former insurgents to reconcile and work against Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, could work in Afghanistan and was already under consideration there, General Petraeus said.

Scottish Government planners have overturned North Ayrshire Council's decision to block a residential development on Memorial Field, home to Ardrossan Academicals Rugby Club.
Last December the council's Planning Committee rejected the proposal to build 21 flats on 'green space' at the field off Sorbie Road in Ardrossan. Saltcoats & Stevenston Independent councillor Ronnie McNicol, seconded by Ardrossan SNP councillor John Bruce, moved that the application be refused on the basis that it was "contrary to Policy ENV12 of the Local Development Plan as it would set a precedent for the incremental loss of open space".
However, the Ardrossan Academy Memorial Field Trust, the body that had submitted the application for outline planning consent regarding the residential development, appealed the Planning Committee's decision to Scottish Ministers.
Following an investigation by the Scottish Government's Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals, Mr Michael Shiel, a Reporter appointed by Scottish Ministers, has concluded that "the proposed development accords overall with the relevant provisions of the development plan and that there are no material considerations which would justify refusing to grant planning permission in principle".
The Reporter's decision means the Memorial Field Trust can now proceed with plans to create a new two-storey clubhouse on land used principally by the local rugby club. Proposals show the ground-floor of the new clubhouse would contain sports facilities, such as changing rooms and showers, while there would be a bar and function-room on the upper-floor.
Mr Shiel's overturning of the local Planning Committee's decision also means Memorial Field Trustees can produce more detailed plans and submit an application in relation to the development of flatted residential properties on the site opposite Ardrossan Academy.
In his report into the controversial proposal, the Scottish Government Reporter dismissed concerns expressed locally concerning houses being built on land that was originally purchased as a memorial to former pupils of Ardrossan Academy who lost their lives fighting for their country in time of war. Mr Shiel concluded such concerns were not material to a planning matter.
Certain planning-related conditions will be applied to the proposed development at the Memorial Field and public notices must be published before any construction work begins.

Rite of Christian Initiation
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process by which adults and children of catechetical age become initiated into the Christian Catholic faith, receiving the sacraments of baptism, confirmation and eucharist, and going forward to live the Christian life.
If you are considering becoming Catholic, or know of someone who is interested, or want more information, please call your nearest Catholic parish.
You may also call Marilyn Jackson, coordinator of Evangelization and Catechetics at 306-659-5836 for more information about RCIA, about Christian Initations and Catechetics, and/or about resources and direction available to parishes in implementing the RCIA process.
How does a person become Catholic?
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (commonly known as the RCIA) is the normal way in which adults become full, active, participating members of the Catholic Church.
People who go through this RCIA process may be unbaptized, or may have already been baptized in another Christian Church, or may be baptized Catholic but have not received the sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation.
The process leading to full initiation follows four steps adapted to the particular needs and concerns of those to be initiated. The initiation process help adults to grow in their relationship with God, become familiar with Catholic teachings and practices, and get involved in service within the parish or the wider community.
How someone comes to consider joining the Catholic Church is unique to each individual. Years of marriage to a Catholic spouse, conversation with a Catholic friend or coworker, something written or viewed in the media, questions from one's children, a crisis, a search for meaning in life - any of these can lead someone to explore the possibility of becoming Catholic.
If you are considering becoming Catholic, or know of someone who is interested, or wish more information, please call your nearest Catholic parish. You may also call the Catholic Pastoral Centre at (306) 242-1500 for more information.
Christian Initiation of Children
Has your child missed the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation or Eucharist?
Children who were not baptized as infants are initiated into the Catholic Church through a process called the Rite of Christian Initiation. Children who are baptized but have missed Confirmation or First Eucharist for whatever reason, are also prepared through this process. Children spend a minimum of one year in the initiation process, preparing through prayer, scripture, catechesis and ritual. Parental involvement and regular attendance at Sunday liturgies are necessary. The process leads to initiation into the church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil.
For more information, please call your nearest Catholic parish or Michelle Sieben at 306-358-2057, Diocesan Coordinator of Christian Initiation.
The Ministry of Sponsor
In reaching out to those who have expressed a desire to become Catholic, the church wishes to share its tradition, its life, its values, its prayers, its apostolic work. Because so much is involved, it takes quite a while to pass on these traditions. As cradle Catholics, many of us take all this for granted. The Christian Initiation process calls for each inquirer to have a sponsor. Sponsors are active members of the parish community who serve as companions to the inquirers.
What is involved in being a sponsor for someone who is being initiated into the Catholic Church? You are paired up with an inquirer and attend weekly sessions with that person. You extend, in a personal way, the parish community's welcome and support. The joy and faith, the personal stories, struggles, and insights of new members will renew your own faith and sense of belonging to the church. As you share some of your own life and faith, you will uncover for yourself new dimensions of being a Catholic Christian.
The following are comments from sponsors:
"Initially I joined RCIA as a sponsor to learn more about being a Catholic myself. I did learn a lot about being a Catholic but it has been much more. It has forced me to come to grips with where I am with God. What do I want, where do I want and need to go?"
"I've truly marveled how our group at the beginning was a collection of strangers and how we have grown together to form a warm caring community. We have learned to trust, to laugh, to cry, to share our innermost pains, to experience Jesus' peace and grace."
"Witnessing and experiencing the RCIA process has immersed me in the church in a way I had never experienced before. Group discussions were a highlight- listening to other people's stories and sharing my own reinforced the community of the church. Observing and participating in the rites, scrutinies, and Easter Vigil has made me reflect on what I have grown up with. I see the church with new eyes now, being thankful for the faith we share."
"The Easter Vigil was very powerful; to hear every word, to take in every gesture, to see the emotions, to see the grace of God in the faces of the catechumens- all of this was very life-giving to me."
Parishes are always looking for sponsors. The ideal is to have a large sponsor pool so that inquirers can be matched with someone of similar age, interests and life circumstances. Consider volunteering for the ministry of sponsor in your parish!
Steps in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
The RCIA process has several distinct stages. It takes at least a year, and sometimes more, depending on the individual's faith journey
- Inquiry: the initial period before you decide to enter the Catholic Church. You're asking questions and checking it out, but aren't yet ready to commit.
- Catechumenate: those who decide to enter the Church and are being trained for a life in Christ are called catechumens, an ancient name from the early Church. In this stage, you're developing your faith and are being "catechized" – learning catechism, or the basic points about Catholic faith and life.
- Purification and preparation: The Church helps you focus and intensify your faith as you prepare to commit your life to Christ and be received into the Church at Easter. Catechumens go through a beautiful series of Gospel-based meditations and liturgical celebrations (rites and scrutinies) during Lent, which is the time frame of this period.
- Initiation itself, the culmination of the whole process! People are received into the Church during the Easter Vigil Mass, where they receive the sacraments of initiation: baptism, confirmation, and Eucharist.
- Mystagogy: after reception into the Church at Easter, this period lets you reflect and learn more about the mysteries of the Mass and the Sacraments that you now participate in fully.

(visiting Branson, Missouri)
This past Fourth of July week, the wife and I visited Branson, Missouri (as we usually do around our anniversary). Naturally, I was on the lookout for some BBQ. We had read some good reviews and heard some good things about Danna's. Their specialty is smoked meats, like sausage, pulled pork, pulled beef, ribs, and chicken.
Since I had already gathered some positive comments about Danna's BBQ, I was going in with some high expectations. I wasn't disappointed.
I decided to order the Big Big Pig. It's almost a half a pound of pulled pork served on grilled Texas toast with piece of sausage and french fries. My wife got the Beef Plate, consisting of pulled beef, french fries, baked beans and cole slaw.
Nothing could have been better. The service was fast and friendly. The meat and all the sides were delicious. Everything was very good and just as I had read about and was told.
One of the nice things that I really liked, was the fact that the meat (both pork and beef) was served without sauce. I like it when they give that choice of sauce or no sauce to the customer.
The meat was tender and perfect just as it was, which is how many people prefer it. But they also had some wonderful BBQ sauce at the table too.
It complimented the beef and pork very well. The sauce had a little sweetness and was a little tangy. I also noticed a hint of cayenne pepper. Not enough to make it hot, but enough to have that unique flavor present. I was impressed.
Since we only ate there the one time, I didn't get a chance to try their burgers (anther specialty, I hear) or the Catfish Sandwich, a local favorite. But if you find yourself in Branson, Missouri, I can definitely recommend Danna's Bar-B-Que & Burger Shop for their BBQ.
I'll be back.
All the best,

Court of Appeals of Arkansas, Division II
June 21, 2017
ISAIAH MARTIN APPELLANTv.STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE
C. Ginn, for appellant.
D. VAUGHT, Judge
This is
a no-merit appeal filed on behalf of Isaiah Martin after the
Crittenden County Circuit Court revoked his probation.
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738
(1967), and Rule 4-3(k) of the Rules of the Supreme Court and
Court of Appeals, Martin's counsel has filed a motion to
withdraw on the ground that this appeal is wholly without
merit. The motion is accompanied by an abstract and addendum
of the proceedings below, which addresses all objections and
motions decided adversely to Martin, and a brief in which
counsel explains why there is nothing in the record that
would support an appeal. The clerk of this court provided
Martin with a copy of his counsel's brief and notified
him of his right to file a pro se statement of points for
reversal, but he submitted no points. We affirm the circuit
court's revocation of Martin's probation and grant
counsel's motion to withdraw.
October 2014, Martin was charged with battery in the second
degree, a Class D felony. The following May, he entered a
negotiated plea of guilty and was sentenced to three
years' probation. He signed the conditions of suspended
sentence or probation, requiring him to report to his
probation officer as directed, cooperate with the probation
office, and not use or possess illegal drugs, among other
December 29, 2015, the State filed a petition to revoke his
probation, alleging that he had failed to pay his
court-ordered fines, fees, and costs as directed; failed to
report to probation as directed; failed to pay probation
fees; failed to notify the sheriff and the probation office
of his current address and employment; failed to live a
law-abiding life and maintain good behavior without violating
any state, federal, or municipal law; and tested positive for
THC, heroin, and opiates on July 2, 2015. A hearing was held
on September 1, 2016, at which an employee of the Crittenden
County Sheriff's Department testified that Martin had not
made any payments toward his court-ordered fines, fees, and
costs. She testified that he owed $1, 170.
Clements testified that she is Martin's probation officer
through the Arkansas Department of Community Correction. She
testified that Martin began probation on May 22, 2015, but
remained incarcerated on other charges until June 16, 2015.
Although Martin reported in June, July, and August, he failed
to report after that. She testified that the next time she
saw Martin was in August 2016, when he was in jail. Clements
also testified that Martin tested positive for THC, alcohol,
and opiates on July 2, 2015.
testified that, although he did not come in to report, Martin
called her in September 2015 and told her he was in the
hospital after having been "jumped." Clements told
Martin to file a police report and to bring her that report
along with documentation from the hospital. He never did so.
Clements stated that she then tried several times to contact
him by phone and by mail but could not reach him. After his
arrest in August 2016, Martin told Clements that he had been
out of state, living in Ohio.
testified that he is married and is the father of two young
children. He stated that he was currently serving ninety days
in jail for failure to appear for a court hearing. He
testified that, after beginning his probation, he worked for
Paschall Truck Line, but that he had only had enough money to
support his wife and children, who were living with her aunt.
He stated that he was homeless. He stated that he didn't
have any money to pay his fines, fees, or costs. Martin also
testified that on August 27, 2015, his ankle was broken when
he was attacked by a group of young men while picking up his
son. He stated that they shot out his car window and beat
him. He said that as a result of his incarceration and the
attack, he had developed anxiety and panic attacks and had
become paranoid. His doctor prescribed Seroquel. He stated
that, although Clements had instructed him to report the
incident to the police, he could not do so due to fear of
retaliation. He stated that "they shot up my wife's
granny's house" and "these dudes got guns and
they're crazy shooting." He said that, because he
was afraid for his life, he "disappeared" to Ohio.
When he finally returned to West Memphis, his wife called the
police and reported him "so we could get this
stated that he could now pay his fines, fees, and costs
because his wife just got a lump-sum payment from the army
that could cover it. However, he also testified that he
didn't have the ability to pay but would get a job and
make payments.
testified that the reason he had stopped reporting to
Clements was that she scared him off when she told him to
report the beating to the police or she would find him in
closing arguments, Martin's attorney conceded that Martin
had failed to make payments as required but argued that he
was unable to pay based on lack of financial means. The
attorney also argued that the court should place Martin back
on probation instead of revoking his probation, so that he
could remedy the problems by getting current on his payments
and living a law-abiding life. The court found Martin in
violation, revoked his probation, and sentenced him to four
years' incarceration.
As this
is a no-merit appeal, counsel is required to list each ruling
adverse to the defendant and to explain why each adverse
ruling does not present a meritorious ground for reversal.
Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-3(k)(1);
Eads v. State, 74 Ark.App. 363, 365, 47 S.W.3d 918,
919 (2001). The test is not whether counsel thinks the trial
court committed no reversible error but whether the points to
be raised on appeal would be wholly frivolous.

Apple's request to defer Samsung Galaxy Tab injunction assessment refused
Judge Lucy Koh has turned down Apple's request to reschedule a 20 September hearing that could see the ban on Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 lifted.
Apple had complained that the judge would hear Samsung's motion to lift the existing injunction on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in September, months before hearing Apple's request for a permanent sales ban on eight Samsung devices ruled by the Californian Apple versus Samsung jury to have infringed its patents, which is scheduled for 6 December.
Judge Koh will, on 20 September, hear Samsung's motion to dissolve the preliminary injunction against the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
If the judge rules that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been sufficiently modified to avoid further infringement, Samsung could be able to sell that product in the run up to Christmas.
Apple had complained about the "asymmetrical" schedules that could potentially mean that the ban on the Galaxy Tab is lifted before the products that the jury ruled infringed on Apple's patents are banned. The judge turned down Apple's request to reschedule Samsung's motion, because, she said, "no change in facts or the law has changed the Court's opinion".
Could the injunction against the Galaxy Tab be lifted? A judge in Germany lifted an injunction against the Galaxy Tab 10.1 back in July after he found that the adjusted Galaxy Tab 10.1N didn't infringe on Apple's "list scrolling and document translation, scaling, and rotation on a touch-screen display" patent.
In addition, notes Foss Patents, the only thing that Samsung really "won" from the jury was a verdict of non-infringement of the tablet design patent.

Hey everybody, been very much neglecting my websites for quite a while now (noticed?), here's a bit of an update…
Been using the 360 quite a bit lately, playing Battlefield 3 most nights or using netflix, since I got a new slim model after my birthday a few months back (you may remember my old console RRODed again earlier last year). Also played Arkham City, Gears 3, Modern Warfare 3, RAGE, Dead Island (started, but would be much more fun with some steady co-op partners) among others pretty recently. The console's a beauty compared to my old one so I'm pretty pleased with it so far.
Still PS3-less though, and can't afford repairs/new console at the time being. In due time though I suppose I'll get a nice slim there too. The new Twisted Metal is only a mere couple of days away now, right? Making it quite possibly the most awesome valentine's day in history *fingers crossed*. Also just read online that the "limited edition" comes with a download of Twisted Metal Black which just makes it all the more awesome. If you're looking for PS2 classics, Black's not one to miss.
My desktop is in the crapper right now, so I won't be back on Steam until I work out some hardware issues. Shame because I was spending alot of time on it between sales, indie bundles (Humble, Gala, Royale) and I quite enjoy Steam for PC gaming. Should be resolved fairly soon though (I hope).
May go back to posting more regularly if I figure out another format and stick to it again, though I'm not making any promises… 😉
See you on Xbox Live!
P.S. – New episodes of The Walking Dead start TONIGHT…if you're into that sort of thing. 😀

Gwen Stefani's "dreams were crushed" when she split from Gavin Rossdale.
The 46-year-old singer has three children - 10-year-old Kingston, seven-year-old Zuma and two-year-old Apollo - with the Bush frontman, but Gwen filed for divorce in August 2015 after nearly 13 years of marriage, amid allegations of his infidelity.
While she has now moved on and is happily dating country singer Blake Shelton, Gwen insists it's going to take some time for her to emotionally rebuild after the breakdown of her marriage.
"I'm not in a different place yet. I'm still heartbroken," she told Rolling Stone magazine in a phone interview. "You can't have your family break up and still not be going through it a year later. I was just cleaning out a room in my house before I called you. It's devastating."
Gwen used her heartbreak as inspiration for her new album This Is What the Truth Feels Like, and likens the way she was feeling after her split to the way she felt when she penned No Doubt's 1995 record Tragic Kingdom - also written in the wake of a break-up.
"Even before I knew that my life would be forever changed and all my dreams would be crushed, I was quite desperate to make new music," she said.
Of Tragic Kingdom, Gwen added: "I didn't even know I could write music. And then my heart was ripped out, and, like, served back to me on a platter. And this album, I feel like it just fell out of the sky. It was a miracle."
Among the new tracks on Gwen's latest album is a collaboration with Blake - Go Ahead and Break My Heart. The emotive duet has a definite country feel about it, but pop princess Gwen insists she has always been open to embracing other genres with her music.
"Being on (U.S. TV talent show) The Voice helped open my mind to all kinds of music," she explained. "My parents loved folk and bluegrass – my first concert was Emmylou Harris. And at the end of the day, a song is a song. You can take a country song and make it into a dance track. It's all about how it's produced."
One thing Gwen isn't sure about when it comes to her future is whether she will have any more work with No Doubt coming up. The group hasn't released any new material since 2012's Push and Shove, and even that wasn't an enjoyable experience for the front woman.
"I was really drained and burned out when we recorded that album. And I had a lot of guilt: 'I have to do it.' That's not the right setting to make music," she continued. "There's some really great writing on that record. But the production felt really conflicted. It was sad how we all waited that long to put something out and it didn't get heard.
"I don't know what's going to happen with No Doubt. When Tony (No Doubt bassist Kanal) and I are connected creatively, it's magic. But I think we've grown apart as far as what kind of music we want to make."

Doing their very best to fuck with people who have done nothing wrong. There's brown people who like the ganga too - - sooo maybe that's part of having their heads up their asses.
An appeals court has issued a ruling that upholds the right of authorities to prosecute pot smokers in Arizona for driving under the influence even when there is no evidence that they are actually high.
4/16/17This is Bistek al la Mexicana a common dish found many places. There are several places I get this some better than others but all real decent! Kind of a tomato based sauce with generally pretty tender pieces of beef and a fair amount of it. The rice is pretty generic but the frijoles can be something else. This also includes as many fresh made in front of you tortillas you want and brought to you with a smile. Something like this costs around 50-60 pesos or $3. The squeezed as you watch orange juice is 20 and brings the price up a bit but worth it. Nothing in the States I've ever had compares to this not even close plus it'll cost 7-10 smacks. I don't know what I'm going to eat when I return. It will be an adjustment as I do this so much that is go into Puerto Vallarta on the south side and have me a excellent lunch with "real" Mexican food not the slop I get back there. I do not plan on eating out much at all only at maybe three select places. Pricey yes but worth it because it's so good. I threw away so much money last summer eating way overpriced shitty food. Several times the food got thrown away as well. The whole of Mexico is an eating machine I tell you. I'm gonna miss this.
I feel good and and think the higher temps and humidity contributes to that. It's the same every time. After a month or two you realize and say " Hey I feel pretty damn good!"
Just as important I believe the food made fresh with wholesome fresh ingredients as well contributes to that. Get off the bus in town the food smells everywhere make me hungry just like that.

Just diagnosed with heart failure
1-minute read
Effective treatment for heart failure has the following benefits:
- it helps make the heart stronger
- it improves your symptoms
- it reduces the risk of a flare-up
- it allows people with the condition to live longer and fuller lives.
The aim of treatment is to find a combination of measures that include lifestyle changes, medicines or surgery, and devices that will help the heart to pump properly.
For example, in cases where heart failure has a specific cause, such as damaged valves, surgery can often be used to replace the valves.
Where a person has an abnormal heart rhythm, it may be possible to correct the problem using a pacemaker. This is a small, battery-operated device that sends regular electrical impulses to your heart.
As treatment will usually need to continue for the rest of your life, you and your doctor will need to find a balance of effective treatments that you can manage in the long term so that you have the best quality of life possible.
The Heart Foundation provides further information about heart failure on their website at www.heartfoundation.org.au, or by calling their heart health information line on 1300 36 27 87.

Why are Table5 pizzas so deliciously different? For starters, it's our crispy cornmeal crust, the foundation of every pizza we make. And it's our knack for turning familiar flavors into something a bit more spectacular, more fun. Savory pizzas made by hand using the finest all-natural ingredients. For kindred spirits everywhere who love sharing great food with friends.
Pizzas with plenty of oomph.
Our Story.
After fifteen years making Vicolo® cornmeal crust pizzas here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we wondered how our popular pizzas could be taken beyond the Bay Area to dinner tables everywhere. With that thought in mind, we headed over to our partner's restaurant, ordered our favorite foods and wine, and sat at our favorite table, Table 5. While discussing our grand idea, we all agreed we would never compromise on our unique cornmeal crust or on the quality of our toppings. Since then, we've stayed true to our vision and our values; our pizzas are made the same way we did fifteen years ago, by hand in small batches, using only premium all-natural ingredients.

It hasn't all been sunshine and roses, though, lest you think our life is perfect! I've been to more doctor's appointments in the past year than in my entire life (seriously). We have both learned what it means to be a spouse, and that it really is different than boyfriend/girlfriend or even fiance/fiancee dynamics. We are learning to die to self, which is a slow, hard process, but oh so rewarding. We've both learned areas we have to change or improve. We've gone totally off our healthy ways and had to dive back in. But the part that makes it all better is that we've done it all together. Nothing is as hard or as stressful with my best friend by my side! I can't wait to see what the rest of the years hold for us, but I also want them to go slowly so I can sit back and enjoy (haha, I know that is wishful thinking).
So! Our anniversary plans! We made these about 6 months after we got married, in true Stacy fashion. Last year, we went to the free portion of the Ignited by Truth conference and really enjoyed it. We went back for Mass with the bishop, but didn't go to the Saturday talks. This year, we found out it is on our anniversary weekend, so it is the perfect opportunity to splurge a little! Plus, Scott Hahn is one of the speakers and we have both really enjoyed reading his books over the past year, so it just made sense. So we went to the free portion Friday night followed by the paid portion and Mass with the bishop on Saturday. The talks were amazing and we did some good shopping while we were there, too ;). We bought one of the talks on CD, a marriage cross for our living room, and I bought some medals. We also got a sampler of Mystic Monks Carmel coffee which my coffee hating husband can't get enough of! Steven got a book as well. Saturday night we went to
Today is our actual anniversary and we are starting it by SLEEPING IN! Then we're going to hit up the Cathedral, which is where we got married, so I can be all weepy while Steven holds my hand in Mass. After that, we are going to to to Cafe Carolina for lunch, which is where we had breakfast on our wedding day, and for a walk at the arboretum, which is where our engagement pictures were done. In the afternoon we'll exchange gifts (something paper as tradition holds but with a unique twist... I will share later!) and feast on the part of the cake we didn't devour right after our honeymoon (oops!). Then tonight we're going to continue the spoiledness of not cooking or cleaning and find somewhere casual but fun to enjoy dinner. Can you tell that we love to celebrate with food??? :)
On that note, thank you for all the love, prayers, and support you have shown us in our first year of marriage! And please don't feel like you have to wish me a happy anniversary again just because I am verbal vomitting in multiple blog posts about it ;).

Mackay is a fascinating region of North Queensland and one which has so much more to offer than first meets the eye. Primarily Mackay is notable for its incredible landscape and diverse range of flora and fauna, this natural beauty forms the backdrop of any Mackay vacation.
The visitor to Mackay is presented with a range of great activities to fill their time from simply enjoying the many stunning islands and beaches to full blown activity adventures including four wheel drive excursions. Nature is the underlying theme here, with camping, fishing and trekking being the most popular activities enjoyed by holidaymakers in Mackay.
Visitors to Mackay will be interested to learn that Captain Cook was one of very first explorers to put a foot down on the soil in the late 1700s. However, it wasn't formally settled until one hundred years later when an expedition, led by John Mackay, went out searching for suitable grazing land. He named the area after his father. Mackay soon flourished as settlers arrived to stake their claims to land. It wasn't long before the success of the sugar crops in other parts of Queensland were replicated in Mackay. Today, Mackay produces over one-third of the country's sugar and you will often hear it referred to as the sugar capital of Australia
Mackay has a wide range of attractions and there is something for everyone, from sun-worshippers to outdoors enthusiasts. A number of picturesque islands are dotted along the coastline and day tours or overnight stays with accommodation can be arranged to many of them.
Eungella National Park is a must-see attraction, as it boasts the longest area of sub-tropical rainforest in the country. It is situated just one hour away from Mackay and day tours are possible. In Mackay city itself you will find top-quality restaurants, great shopping and examples of heritage buildings that have been fully restored. Mackay Marina Village is a popular spot for eating out and it is also home to a number of quality Mackay hotels.
