Texarkana Regional Correction Center
305 East 5th Street Texarkana,, Arkansas 71854
Texarkana Regional Correction Center Visiting Information:
Inmate Notification of Visiting Procedures
Written information regarding procedures governing visitation will be made available to inmates upon their arrival at the institution. At a minimum, the information will include, but not be limited to the following:
Institution address/phone number, directions to the institution.
Days and hours of visitation.
Approved dress code and identification requirements for visitors.
Items authorized in the visiting room.
Special rules for children.
Special visits
Each inmate is responsible for notifying his/her family and friends if they are approved or denied for visiting privileges or if visiting privileges have been suspended or terminated.
Visitor Applications
Each visitor must complete a visitation application and return to the address listed on the form. The inmate is responsible for providing visitors with applications. Applications are then processed, reviewed and either approved or denied by the Warden. This process can take from seven days to six weeks. A criminal history check is done on all prospective visitors.
Minor children, under age 18, may not be allowed to visit unless accompanied by an approved adult visitor, or upon proof of emancipation.
Visitors age 12 and older are required to provide photo identification for entry into a correctional facility
Visitation Hours and Number of Allowable Visitors
Visitation is either Saturday or Sunday. The inmate's custody classification can determine when or if visitation is allowed. After you have been approved to visit the inmate, check with the individual unit for specific visiting hours. No visitation is allowed on the fifth Saturday or Sunday of the month or on holidays.
Four visitors are allowed during any one visit, including children. However, the spouse of an inmate and all children, regardless of the number, may visit when no other adults are present.
Special Visits
If the warden or center supervisor approves, special visits may be allowed any two days during the week and during regular visiting hours for approved visitors who live more than 300 miles from the unit. The visitor must request the visit 24 hours in advance during regular business hours. No special visits are allowed on holidays.
Entrance into Correctional Institutions
Any person or vehicle entering a correctional unit can be searched for contraband. Visitors in wheelchairs and those wearing wigs or religious headgear are also subject to search. If a wig or religious headgear is being worn, the visitor will be searched outside the presence of other visitors by an employee of the same gender. Entrance will be denied if a visitor is not willing to submit to a search. Visitors must also pass through a metal detector. Units randomly drug test visitors by use of an Ion Scanner. A positive scan can lead to a search of the visitor and his or her vehicle. Visitors are not allowed to bring cameras, pagers, cellular phones, pocketknives, or food into a facility. Visitors are allowed to bring a small coin purse, billfold, identification, baby bottles, baby diapers, diaper wipes, car keys and jewelry (being worn). The warden/center supervisor or designee may set limits on the amount of money that a visitor will be allowed to bring in. Visitors age 12 and older must provide photo identification.
Visitor Dress Code
Visitors cannot wear sleeveless tops, halter-tops, tank tops, hats, shorts, mini-skirts/dresses; see-through clothing or camouflage attire to any correctional facility. Brief cut or otherwise provocative clothing will not be permitted. Children age 10 or younger may be allowed to wear shorts during visitation. The department can deny visitation to any person who is dressed inappropriately
Inmate Telephone
Inmates are provided with coinless telephones during set hours of use. Inmates can only make collect calls to pre-approved numbers. Inmates cannot have cellular phones or calling cards. Inmates can lose their telephone privileges for disciplinary reasons. Each unit has its own telephone policy, so please check with the particular unit for specific hours of use. Boot Camp inmates may write and receive letters only. They have access to telephones only in emergency situations or to notify family or friends prior to graduation from the Boot Camp.
Tobacco Policy
Inmates are not allowed to have any kind of tobacco. This policy became effective January 17, 2000, and prohibits inmates from possessing "any smoking or smokeless tobacco product." If an inmate does have tobacco, it is considered contraband and the inmate will be disciplined. Visitors and employees must leave all tobacco products in their vehicle. Bringing tobacco products into a facility will result in loss of visitation privileges.

Something old and something comparably new join the Xbox 360 Games on Demand lineup today, with Dead Rising and Halo Wars now available in convenient downloadable form.
I've played my fill of Dead Rising since its 2006 release, so I probably won't be download it for $US19.99 via Games on Demand.
Halo Wars, on the other hand, is a game I've had in my hand many times over the past few years, only to put it down before making it to the cash register. Perhaps I'll find pushing a button much easier than handing over my credit card.
Or maybe I'll just sit there at the purchase screen, hemming and hawing over spending $US30 on a real-time strategy game based on a first-person shooter series I'm not particularly fond of, until I eventually B button my way out of the purchase. At least I can do it from the comfort of my couch now.

The winner of the GoMoji Ice pack giveaway is Bree from the Fit Bride. Congrats Bree! Please email me at email@example.com so I can get you in contact with the right people :)
To those that entered, I totally think that product is worth it, and I know it's expensive, but if you have the money I would splurge on it. It's a great system for icing and you won't be disappointed.
Back to working out. Since I had to get my part-time job, there has been limited time for working out, but I do feel that I'm keeping up with my weight training and my cardio during the week and on the weekends I am getting in decent runs. I definitely am feeling much stronger after doing weights and actually working my upper body more than ever before. Also, with swimming, it's something nice that I can do at night time, since I can't run at night and when I wake up in the morning it's still very dark and I can't run then either.
So this leads me to run one day during the week and twice on the weekends which includes my long run for the week. It's kind of strange, but when I do get to run, I get so excited to do it. I guess the saying, absence makes the heart grow fonder, is true because I do miss you running. I just need it to stay lighter just a little bit longer, but right now it's still so dark out and it gets dark so quickly that I can't fit it in, thus trips to the gym ensue and I feel like I am not losing my fitness since I'm working out really hard while I'm there, which is good. It's a smaller gym and I really like how it's set up and am considering joining, since I've been on the guest pass for like a month… I hope they don't kick me out! I also know that I train the best personally when I'm not running every single day of the week, and I still feel that the body is finishing up recovering from the three marathons I ran in October, November and December.
As I get closer to LA though I am going to make sure to up my mileage, which the training plan will be included in a post next week. By not going to the gym and running more I can up my mileage, but I really am working at getting stronger right now as well and hopefully strengthening my knee for the LA Marathon. Part of me thinks that running LA is a bit crazy, but then part of me thinks that it's still two months away and I have a decent amount of time to prepare myself for that.
But I do miss running, I think if I included it one more day I would be happy, and soon that day will come. Every time I think about it I get antsy in my pants. I have heard some great new running songs and I think about uploading my iPod for my weekend runs and it makes me excited. It's funny how that works. Sometimes it's the things in life that you don't even realize that you miss them, and then before you know it, your sitting at your desk daydreaming the next path you'll tackle, or planning your next route that you might meander on.
It is a nice feeling though, to be excited about every run I'm going to go on. It's nice to have it to look forward too instead of dreading the run, so it's okay for this point in my training.
As for me, I got 13 miles tomorrow and another 6.2 on Sunday and I'm really looking forward to it. I had very limited knee pain after my 10 and 6.2 last weekend so here's to a knee pain free and fun weekend. Tonight it's going to be a big celebration for DJ's Birthday. Fist Pump Fest 2010 and I'm super excited about it.
I have another great review of some awesome Zensah products next week, another section of the LA marathon with hopefully more weird videos and my LA training plan.
Fist Pump until you Pass out!

I've recently read that YAML was not "designed to handle malicious user input", because a malicious YAML input "can create instances of all classes defined in the targeted Rails application". Wikipedia also explains that
YAML allows language specific tags so that arbitrary local objects can be created by a parser that supports those tags. Any YAML parser that allows sophisticated object instantiation to be executed opens the potential for an injection attack.
Consequently, it appears that it is potentially unsafe to parse untrusted input using some YAML parsers.
Can anyone explain how to safely parse untrusted YAML input, in Rails, Python, and Perl? Are there YAML parsing libraries that are safe, or ways to invoke them that ensures they are safe even if the input is from an untrusted source?

These days, managing constant change is a challenge that faces anyone whose life and livelihood involves the use of intelligent electronic devices. The conflicting headlines from two stories I read this week exemplify the situation. One reported: "Designer guru Nielsen: Windows 8 UI 'smothers usability.'" The other protested: "Why Jakob Nielsen's Windows 8 critique is old school thinking." The latter began with the following trenchant observation "Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was once asked what market research went into the creation of the iPad. 'None,' Jobs replied, in one of his most celebrated quotes. 'It's not the consumers' job to know what they want.'"
Given the accessible pricing of Windows 8, I've been wondering whether an upgrade would be worth the learning curve. I decided against it when I read the following observation in Nielsen's review: "One of the worst aspects of Windows 8 for power users is that the product's very name has become a misnomer. 'Windows' no longer supports multiple windows on the screen. Win8 does have an option to temporarily show a second area in a small part of the screen, but none of our test users were [sic] able to make this work. Also, the main UI restricts users to a single window, so the product ought to be renamed 'Microsoft Window.'"
Like many other people whose work requires writing, research and communication, I make use of a tablet (iPad2), a smartphone (Android) and a desktop PC. On the road, or at home when using a device to stream content (music, video, a TV program) as accompaniment to some other task, the smartphone and the iPad are portable and convenient. But when it comes to my writing, and the research and communication needed to back it up, neither device matches the expansive ease of use that my Windows desktop setup allows. I not only use multiple windows, but multiple screens with multiple windows. The draft I'm working on usually has the central position. On one screen, I often have multiple browser windows open that let me compare information from multiple sources on the Internet. On another screen, I may have the Logos Bible Software program open, with several biblical passages showing, or e-book versions of a book or books I'm referencing in the draft. Multiple windows and screens allow me to look for, read and make notes from the information I find, using Windows' ubiquitous cut and paste functionality to highlight, store, transfer and format text or images as needed.
Advertisement - story continues below
In my work, I find the more portable devices wonderfully convenient because they give me the ability to perform specific tasks even though I'm on the move (traveling to attend a meeting or give a speech), or at any time when the main focus of my activity is elsewhere. But the expansive multiplicity and interoperability of my desktop set-up has now become part of what it means to be "home" – i.e., working in an environment where I have arranged things to suit the idiosyncratic preferences that give "ease of use" the very particular meaning it has for me. I would reject the change from "Windows7" to "Window8" because my mind, work and life have many facets that reflect the different views and resources derived from my experiences in life, views and resources I must integrate continually to express myself. Windows uniquely extends and amplifies my ability to do so. I won't reject a change that complicates or eliminates this aspect of its functionality because I'm "old school." I'll reject it because the need to express myself in an integrated way that is nonetheless true to the distinctive aspects of my thinking and experience is a permanent aspect of my life. The genius of Microsoft's main operating system has been to provide the working room, replete with simultaneously mirroring windows, that virtually fulfills this need.
Not inexplicably (given the main focus of my life's vocation), this excursion of thought about the implications of ongoing technological change reminds me of the way the mantra of "change" is being used and abused in our politics. Jakob Nielsen's quote from Steve Jobs ("It's not the consumer's job to know what they want") smacks of the self-satisfied arrogance that now characterizes the sham elections being served up by the elitist faction's so-called "two-party system." "It's not the citizens' job to know what represents them," I can hear them saying. "Voters who prefer a government operating system based on God-acknowledging principles and unalienable rights are just 'old-school thinkers."
But what if the Christian premise of responsible individual liberty – and the concomitant respect for conscientious diversity that gives rise to the federalist form of self-government – aren't just disposable old habits of thought and action? What if they are, as Solzhenitsyn said of nations, "facets of God's design," indispensable features of a way of life that allows America to benefit from the participation and contribution of sundry "tribes and nations" in an integrated way, but one that, nonetheless, does not disrespect the essential, organically individual distinctions that are facets of our God-endowed human nature and, therefore, a permanent feature of any truly human community?
The Christian, federalist understanding informed the views and actions of the founders responsible for America's successful assertion of Independence. It was the standard, as well, for the framing and ratification of the U.S. Constitution, which was undeniably instrumental in propelling the United States to the pinnacle of success in the history of nations. Now America declines precipitously because the elitist faction in control of both the Democratic and Republican Parties are dismissive or ashamed of the nation's Christian, federalist origins. They have surrendered to elitist forces determined to overthrow government constrained by respect for right, and constructed to represent, in federal (not consolidated) union, the sovereign, conscientious goodwill of the people as a whole. They mean to construct in its place an elitist, consolidated, totalitarian government that will suppress both the diversity of human nature and the common moral sense that is the basis for its true community.
Advertisement - story continues below
Do we have no choice but to support these self-serving elitists as they abandon America's founding creed? In the series of essays I am now sharing on Loyal to Liberty, I am trying to think through the reasons for withdrawing our support from them. I hope by doing so to encourage people still loyal to the nation's founding principles to rediscover and further explore the understanding that animated the Christian Federalists prevalent when America began. Perhaps, by doing so, we can act as they did, not just for ourselves but on behalf of all humanity – to renew America's window for the world on the foundations of decent liberty and true human greatness.

Product code: NINJAF-FLEX175-FIRE
£42.00 incl. VAT.
NinjaFlex Fire 1.75mm is a specially formulated thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that produces flexible prints with elastic properties.
NinjaFlex is available in 1.75mm and 2.85mm diameters in a range of colours. It has high elasticity and is REACH and RoHS 2002/95/EC Directive Compliant.
Each 1.75mm NinjaFlex spool contains approx. 500g of filament.
Due to the large variation of monitors, video cards, operating systems & Internet browsers and the effects each has on each other, the colours on this page may not exactly match the materials.

NinjaFlex has been used successfully on many FDM/FFF 3D printers, but it has not been tested on every model. In general, NinjaFlex performs best in printers with direct-drive extruders using settings similar to standard rigid ABS filament.
Bowden extruders are not ideal for printing flexible filaments such as NinjaFlex due to the excessive distance between the stepper motor and the extruder head. However, some users have generated successful prints using reduced speeds.
NinjaFlex generally works well at similar extruder settings to ABS. However, adjusting the printer's retraction settings can improve stop/start print quality, and it may be necessary to reduce the print speed to approximately 30mm/s.
Recommended extruder temperature: 210-225°C (410-437°F)
Recommended platform temperature: 20-50°C (68-122°F)
Recommended print speed: 30mm/s
Max temperature for printed parts: 66°C (150°F)
Min temperature for printed parts: -30°C (-22°F). Below this temperature, printed parts will become increasingly brittle and may shatter
While the low coefficient of friction surface of NinjaFlex has been formulated to reduce surface tack and allow the filament to feed more easily, the use of PTFE guide tubes may be beneficial to further reduce pull at the extruder.
No, in most printers, a heated build plate is not necessary to successfully print with NinjaFlex.
NinjaFlex bonds well to most surfaces (including aluminium and glass, blue painters tape, etc.), so coating the build platform is not necessary. Kapton tape can be used with NinjaFlex, but the adhesion of the printed part to the tape may be stronger than the adhesive holding the tape to the build platform.
Yes, NinjaFlex behaves similarly to ABS in this regard and may accommodate some small gaps.
Yes, NinjaFlex works well in prints with support material and can easily be removed once the print is complete.
NinjaFlex should be used in a well-ventilated area according to recommended operating conditions. TPE products are capable of releasing small amounts of fumes at high temperatures. While these fumes are generally considered tolerable and less odorous than ABS, care should be taken to minimise exposure, particularly among sensitive persons.
When switching from another polymer (such as ABS or PLA) purge thoroughly before starting a print. As with other materials, when preheating, use a lower temperature (~180-200°C / ~356-392°F) to prevent excess material from draining prior to starting a print.
NinjaFlex has a very low surface energy, so it typically does not bond well with adhesives. However, 3M trim adhesive and Gorilla Glue provide moderate bonding. The best way to connect NinjaFlex parts is with a hot knife welder.
While occasional contact with water will have no adverse effect on NinjaFlex, the product will degrade and lose its elastic properties when submerged in water for extended periods of time.
Although NinjaFlex does not contain any known toxins, it is not recommended for food contact or medical applications.
While NinjaFlex is resistant to most oils, it is highly affected by solvents, acids, and fuels such as gasoline. If the printed part should need to be cleaned, a mild soap solution is recommended.

congrats on making the plaisir sucré! It looks gorgeous too - those chocolate sheets look perfectly flat! Somewhere in my flickr gallery is a picture of the plaisir sucré I did for my pastry school final project. It was one big 8"x8" square - let me tell you not a good idea! I made chocolate sheets for three nights in a row to get ones that big that weren't warped or cracked. Smaller is definitely better!
Great job!

Hi Linda,
I like all of Hermés books. He is simply fantastic at what he does.
Hi Anita,
Thanks for the comments. In the book they suggest making the dessert 4" x 2". That is too large especially for a dessert as decadent as this. Anyways the next time I make this it will definately be smaller.
Hi Jen,
Thanks for the lovely comment.
Hi Pinknest,
I think your right: rich, decadent and intense is the way to go ith everything!
Hi Ivonne,
If you want I can email you the photo so you can blow it up with good resolution. Thanks Ivonne!
Hi Dianka,
Thanks. I enjoyed making this dessert.

Some music simply can't be played in the background. The first note catches you as the rest of the world melts away and you've got no choice but to stop what you were doing and listen. Jim Byrnes' new album, Everywhere West catches you that way. Listen closely and you can hear the wind blowing through the floorboards of long abandoned roadhouses. Wind that lifts up the dust ground down by the stomping feet of Saturday night dancers hurting, forgetting and testifying while Jimmy Reed hollered down the devil and ghosts of done me wrong romance. Open the door a little wider and some of that dust gets down your throat and all of that trapped passion and good time hurting becomes a part of you – just like the music of Jim Byrnes does.
For more than thirty years, Jim Byrnes has woven roots so deeply into the Northern Blues scene that it's difficult to remember that this quintessentially Canadian icon was raised in St. Louis and that his instantly recognizable gruff as sandpaper, sweet as honey voice was not always an essential part of the country's musical landscape.
Everywhere West marks the fourth collaboration between the multi Juno Award-winning Byrnes and musician and producer, Steve Dawson. Fans of their previous work can rest assured that the intricate acoustic melodies, dirty blues guitar, funky organ and passionate interplay that we've come to expect when the two men get together in the same room are here in spades. If anything, the conversation goes a little deeper this time around and the playing is more assured and trusting than it's ever been before. Listening back to some of the tracks from the album, it's obvious that Byrnes is thrilled with the results. "…with Steve, it's so much fun making a record. It's just a bunch of guys sitting together and playing the music we love – with the tapes rolling."
As we've come to expect, the musicians who support Byrnes on this effort have been selected from the country's best with Dawson studio regulars Keith Lowe and Geoff Hicks laying down a rock solid rhythm section while Jeanne Tolmie offers her usual heavenly back up vocals. Special guest Keith Bennett turns in some tasty harmonica parts while Canadian fiddle and horn legend, Daniel Lapp, blesses listeners with some absolutely inspired performances throughout the album.
Whether Byrnes is singing a Mississippi Sheiks chestnut like "Bootlegger's Blues" or wailing his way through a stripped down banjo driven version of Bobby Bland's "Yield Not To Temptation", he effortlessly inhabits every syllable and corner of this music. Testifying with a poise and authority that few can muster, he adds weight and depth to a Dave Van Ronk inspired take of "He Was a Friend of Mine". Three Byrnes originals round out the album – "Hot As A Pistol" – a passionate straight up blues rave, "Storm Warning" – a first take recording, and finally, "Me and Piney Brown" – a lovely 'autobiographical dream tune' that evokes an imaginary journey to Kansas City in 1938.
As Jim writes in his liner notes, Everywhere West is dedicated to 'those who came before', but this music doesn't belong in a museum. As Byrnes notes, "Deep down, blues is an acceptance of life. You stand in front of life and life says, 'that's the way it is baby'. To play the blues, you take all the bullshit that's been piling up and you channel it through your guitar and voice. You let the pain go and turn it into a good feeling. That's the blues – pure and simple."
Pure and simple doesn't get any better than this. When you hear Jim Byrnes pour his whole soul into singing a line as simple as 'One sunny day, I'll be home to stay', you'll instantly know that this is the kind of music you're going to want to listen to forever – and that nearly fifty years after first wondering 'how blue can you get?', Jim Byrnes has found his voice and is just hitting his stride.

Whitney Houston FBI files: Extortion, crazed fans
FBI files indicate someone wanted money from Houston to keep quiet about the star's 'private life.'
The FBI, in answer to Freedom of Information Act requests, has released files on Whitney Houston.
Among the 128 pages of documents are several fan letters and FBI paperwork regarding an extortion case that eventually was closed without anyone being prosecuted. But it does appear that Houston paid off the person who was demanding hush money.
In 1992 a letter, marked "extortion" by the FBI, was sent to Houston's New Jersey offices of Nippy Inc., in which a woman demanded that unless Houston paid $100,000, "certain details" of her "private life" would be revealed. A later letter upped the ante to $250,000 and claims to have "intimate details" of Houston's "romantic relationships."
The FBI interviewed Houston, two lawyers and her father, John Houston. The singer tells agents she considered the woman "a friend" and "did discuss personal things" with her.
It appears from the documents that Houston's father next sends the person a confidentiality agreement along with a sum of money (the amount is blacked out in FBI documents) and the case was closed soon after.
The fan mail, from a male writer whose name is not included but is postmarked from Vermont, professes profound adoration for the singer. A review of one, however, caught the eye of the FBI as the agency determined the writer "might hurt someone with some crazy idea and not realize how stupid an idea it was until after it was done."
Among the contents, the fan wrote: "Miss Whitney, you are just so pretty and so beautiful. I just cannot stop thinking about you. Many times when I think about you I will start to shake..... I really and truly am in love with you."
And in another letter: "Over the past 17 months, I have sent ... 66 letters to Miss Whitney. ... I have been to 9 of Miss Whitney's concerts and I have tried to give her flowers twice at the concerts. ... When I first fell in love with Miss Whitney Houston I tried to ignore what I felt towards her. After 5 months I had to do something so I started writing letters. I have tried to stop writing the letters and to give up twice but after a few weeks I had to start writing again."
The writer goes on to say that getting no response from Houston was frustrating. "I have gotten mad at her a few times. ... it scares me that I might come up with some crazy or stupid or really dumb idea that might be as bad or even worse than that... I might hurt someone with some crazy idea."
Later, he wrote: "Miss Whitney, why can't you respond to my 70 plus letters? ... You probably think I'm crazy. Well, (maybe) I am. I just can't give up. I have to keep trying. I really am in love with you."
The FBI marked one 1988 letter as possible "extortion" as the letter included a line about the writer making his love known for Houston publicly in the National Enquirer or on The Phil Donahue Show. According to the FBI report, agents interviewed the writer at his small, cluttered one-room apartment and determined: "He believed this 'crazy idea' would have hurt Houston's reputation so he did not follow through on it." Based on those facts, and that he didn't intend to physically harm Houston, the FBI concluded that it did not constitute a violation of federal law.
And in one other case, investigators flew to Brussels to track down a Dutch fan who claimed to have sent tapes to Houston. He accused her of performing his music. In 1999, the FBI wrote that the fan "pledged there would be no further attempts on his part to communicate in any way with Houston."

TRIPOLI, Libya, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- Dozens of gunmen occupied Libya's Parliament to express their anger over the formation of the country's new government, officials said.
The occupiers demanded that some of the government ministers be removed because they allegedly have ties to the late Moammar Gadhafi's regime, the BBC reported Thursday
The protesters were believed to be in talks with politicians to resolve the standoff, the British broadcaster said.
At least a dozen trucks outfitted with anti-aircraft guns lined the main road to Parliament.
Libya held a peaceful election in July and reached agreement on the composition of a government Wednesday. Prime Minister Ali Zidan earned support of the National Congress for his slate of ministers, which included liberals and Islamists in an attempt to create a coalition acceptable to all parties.
Negotiations broke down earlier this week and gunmen breached security lines to occupy the government building Wednesday.
"Some of them have had long ties with Gadhaf; we don't want them," one man told the BBC.
Presidential guards were ordered not to fight with the gunmen.

300: Rise of an Empire was originally one of our most-anticipated movies of the year … that is, until Warner Bros. decided to push the release date back from Aug. 2 to Mar. 7, 2014. But while we await the coming bloodshed, the studio has dropped a new poster in anticipation of its upcoming panel at Comic-Con 2013.
Directed by Noam Murro and starring the likes of Sullivan Stapleton, Eva Green, Lena Headey, Hans Matheson, David Wenham and Rodrigo Santoro, 300: Rise of an Empire is based on Frank Miller's graphic novel 'Xerxes.' From the officially released plot synopsis:
This new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield — on the sea — as Greek general Themistokles attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. '300: Rise of an Empire' pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes, and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.
The 300: Rise of an Empire Comic-Con panel will be held in the buzzing Hall H on Saturday, July 20th, along with other Warner Bros./Legendary Pictures properties 'Seventh Son,' 'Godzilla,' 'Gravity' and 'The LEGO Movie.' (Source)

Avant-Garde Jewelry Co. Brings Back Extended Return/Exchange Policy for Holiday Season
November 14, 2012 (PRLEAP.COM) Business NewsCincinnati, Ohio, November 14, 2012 Avant-Garde Jewelry, the Ohio-based crafter of unique, contemporary titanium jewelry, including men's titanium rings and tungsten rings for men and women, and ceramic and platinum necklaces, crosses, bracelets and other fine pieces, has announced the return of its annual holiday extension on the deadline for returns and exchanges.
Customers who purchase items between November 10 and December 31 will have until January 15, 2013 to return or exchange their items without any additional restrictions.
Avant-Garde, doing business online as TitaniumStyle.com, first offered extensions on its holiday return and exchange policies for all titanium rings, titanium wedding bands and its other fine-quality jewelry items in 2008, which, as company president Anton Polishuk says, proved wildly successful, as more customers found the option of having a longer period of time to return or exchange gifts, resulted in increased buyer confidence and overall customer satisfaction.
"We know from experience extending our return and exchange policy for holiday shoppers gives buyers more peace of mind when it comes to selecting gifts for others or even for themselves," said Polishuk. "It makes perfect sense in this economy to extend our refunds and exchanges policy so that we give buyers and recipients some breathing room over the holiday season to make choices about their purchases and gifts without a strict time pressure."
Typically, Avant-Garde's policy on returns and exchanges is 14 days from purchase. The extension makes it possible for early shoppers to not have to worry about an approaching deadline for returning items that won't be opened before Christmas Day. The extension also allow buyers who visit the site more time to consider their purchasing power for gifts for family and friends and the ability to enjoy the holidays without pressure regarding restrictions on return dates.
"We've always experienced positive feedback on this policy," said Polishuk. Our customers know that, while our other basic returns and exchange policies remain intact, the extensions are our way of showing our gratitude for their interest in what we offer, as well as our commitment to them to simplify the buying, giving and receiving process so that they can shop with confidence."
About Avant-Garde Jewelry Co., Avant-Garde Jewelry Company specializes in creation of unique jewelry pieces, including titanium rings; tungsten rings with ceramic, gold, platinum and diamond inlays, and a range of other high-quality titanium items.

By Becky McCorvey
I am starting on an adventure and I'm inviting you to come along.
I'm going to set my grocery budget and get serious with my couponing. You are invited to follow along and see how I do using coupons and deals at our local stores.
Can I feed a family of three on a budget of $75 every two weeks? Can it be done? Let's find out together. I promise I will show the results.
Before I share my first shopping adventure please remember that I have a little bit of a stock pile. I have frozen vegetables, canned goods and other staples from previous trips. Some of my trips may seem like I don't have full meals but each shopping trip I am buying items to go along with what I already have and replenshing my stockpile.
Here is my first shopping trip. I planned to take a photo of everything but my daughter borrowed my camera yesterday.
With $75 cash and coupons I headed to Kroger. I bought 40 items and used 20 coupons. Here is what I bought: two laundry detergents, two packages of chicken thighs, two packages of hot dogs, 1 package of sausage, one package of sandwich ham, hot dog and hamburger buns, bread, milk, half & half, two packages of breaded chicken patties, two packages of chicken nuggets, two bottles of mustard, lemonade mix, five boxes of cereal, four boxes of crackers, sugar, tea bags, coffee, three mens shower gel, and three mens deodorants. (One deodarant and one shower gel were FREE!!!)
Total before savings – $121.06.
Savings with Kroger Plus card – $38.39
Coupon Savings – $21.48
Total Saved– $59.87
Total Spent – $61.19
Remaining for two weeks – $13.81
I will use the $13 to pick up fresh vegetables at Saturday's Farmer's Market or bread & milk if needed. As the summer progresses I will have vegetables from our garden also. Right now, cucumbers, radishes and yellow squash are starting to come in and we still have a little lettuce.
This trip included a little more processed foods than I usually purchase but with two teenagers at home during the summer it is nice to have quick items around that they can fix themselves.
Next time I promise to have a picture instead of only a list.
Blessings and happy couponing.

Talent Strategy
Forecast talent needs and build the infrastructure to help talent flow. Mercer can dramatically enhance the impact of how you select, engage & develop your talent.Learn more
Look at your balance sheet and you won't see any line items that reflect your employees' enthusiasm, engagement, or energy levels. But these intangible factors are key to employee performance. Make them sustainable with the right rewards strategies.
Business results are driven by people. But what are people driven by?
A paycheck, yes — but there's more to it than that. Mercer has more than 80 years of experience understanding what drives employees and translating that knowledge into results. You won't find data like ours anywhere else. Our benchmark database is the best in the business for evaluating and creating competitive compensation offerings.
We have the experience and the hard numbers to design your organization's workforce rewards, structure incentive programs, manage internal equity, and, most of all, create a satisfied and more productive workforce.
Effective rewards strategy design means embracing the needs of a diverse, multigenerational workforce. Gen X-ers, millennials, and baby boomers of all backgrounds are working together. It's a beautiful thing — and something that demands a more nuanced rewards strategy than ever before. After all, "rewards" means something different to different people, at different times in their lives, and in different parts of the world. In the era of choice, how you design and deliver this cornerstone of the employee value proposition is the biggest retention lever you can pull.
As unique as each person's career is, we can make your rewards structure easier and more efficient with solutions like job levelling across your organization and the world, job architectures that help your employees build careers, and dynamic career frameworks that direct all of your rewards decisions.
An even greater challenge lies beyond creating a flexible framework for a diverse workforce: anticipating jobs that have yet to be created. The next generation of workers will be asked to fill many roles that don't even exist today. But how can you plan for what you don't know?
Mercer relies on proven science. Our International Position Evaluation (IPE) methodology underpins the job architecture and methodology we use to evaluate brand new roles. So you can maintain your stride even as the world of work changes before your eyes.
Our employee rewards professionals can help you:

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Officials at the Mesilla Valley Animal Services Center say they are struggling with an unusually high number of puppies.
The shelter says it has more than 40 puppies, ranging in age from day-old newborns to 12 weeks. Population Supervisor Curtis Herring says some were brought in with their mothers as strays, while others were motherless - surrendered by their owners.
He said the shelter is not a good place for puppies as the threat of disease is high.
The shelter said it is working with local and national rescues to try and place the puppies. And it is hoping to find homes for some over the weekend.

Senate Approves Border Security and Visa Reforms
Washington, D.C.- The U.S. Senate today approved by a 97 - 0 vote a bipartisan security bill that tightens visa screening, border inspections, and tracking of foreigners. The House, which has strongly supported this measure, is expected to shortly take it up for a vote. The "Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2001" (H.R. 3525) ensures that our immigration policies are in line with our goal of preventing terrorism. The bill includes needed reforms that deter terrorism by developing layers of protection both outside and within the United States.
"We need smart and effective measures to increase our security and isolate terrorism without isolating America," said Jeanne Butterfield, Executive Director of AILA. "This legislation enhances border security while preserving the cross-border flow of commerce and people."
The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) commends Senators Kennedy (D-MA), Brownback (R-KS), Kyl (R-AZ), and Feinstein (D-CA) for their leadership on this important measure.
Among other things, the bill will:
Help provide people on the front line with the training, staff and funding they need to do the job. The bill authorizes increased staffing and funding at the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the State Department. It also provides necessary training for personnel at both agencies.
Get timely, accurate information to the people who decide who can enter our country. The bill mandates the sharing of intelligence and law enforcement data with the INS and State Department on a real-time basis so the agencies can identify high-risk individuals who seek to enter our country.
Enhance our security by working with Canada and Mexico to create a North American Security Perimeter. A North American Security Perimeter would bolster security through law enforcement coordination and intelligence sharing, reducing the chance that someone wishing to do us harm would travel to a neighboring country and then cross by land into the U.S.
While the measure includes many long overdue changes, it also poses challenges to our country, the Congress, federal agencies, and the American people. Given the bill's ambitious deadlines, it is critical that the Administration and Congress provide the federal agencies with the staffing and funding levels they need to implement these new security measures.
"The bill is a solid first step toward regulating the flow of goods and people into this country while recognizing the importance of immigration and commerce to the nation," said Butterfield. "Now that the bill has passed, the next step is to reform our immigration system through bilateral discussions with Mexico. By facilitating legal immigration, both countries will be able to focus their resources on those who would do us harm, rather than those who come to fill legitimate labor needs or reunite with their families."
"We strongly urge the House to continue their support for this initiative by taking up this bill with all due haste," concluded Butterfield.

Hands in the Air: How Gesturing Helps Us to Think
Gestures reveal subconscious knowledge and cement new ideas
A teacher watches a fourth-grade student try to solve the equation 4 + 3 + 6 = + 6. The child pencils 13 in the blank. "How did you get that answer?" the teacher asks. "I added the 4 and the 3 and the 6 and got 13," the child replies. But as the child is talking, he holds one hand under the 6 on the left and the other hand under the 6 on the right, indicating that the child has, at least implicitly, noticed the 6s on both sides of the equation. Thus, the teacher realizes, it is a small mental leap to see that these equal numbers would cancel each other out and that the remaining numbers on the left can be added to get the correct answer, 7. The teacher says, "A better way to solve the problem would be to add the 4 and the 3 and put that number in the blank." From then on, the child uses this grouping strategy to solve future problems.
In this interchange, which took place in my laboratory while my colleagues and I were conducting a study on gesture and learning, neither the teacher nor the student talked about the 6s. But the teacher saw a representation of the two 6s in the student's gestures, prompting the explicit instruction about grouping. If the student had not gestured in this way, the teacher might have suggested a different method of tackling the problem that might not have been so effective.

Brent Jarvis Likes To Go Fast, and He Built Two Corvettes To Satisfy That Hunger
For decades, HOT ROD has preached the sermon get out and drive your junk and has created several events to promote that agenda. While we can totally respect AMBR- and Ridler-level show cars and the amount of time, talent, and money that go into them, how many of us can really relate to that kind of detail without the enjoyment of sliding behind the wheel, slamming open the butterflies, and spraying an obscene quantity of rubber on the quarter-panels?
Brent Jarvis, owner of Performance Restorations in Mundelein, Illinois, (PerformanceRestorations.com) is one of us. A lifetime addiction to speed led him initially down the dragstrip as one of the early competitors in HOT ROD's Fastest Street Car Shootout in the mid-'90s. We featured his very cool, low-8-second, Pro Street '59 Corvette back in the Apr. '96 issue after having seen and photographed the car at one of the FSCs at Memphis Motorsports Park. (He still owns that car, and it's in the low 7s today.) His quote to us back then was, If it looks fast, it better be fast. A few years ago he contacted us and said he was building another Vette, this one a midyear model, and he asked if we wanted to feature it. It looked all the part of a full-on show car, but remembering that statement, we couldn't resist taunting him: Sure, we'll feature the car, but only if you'll put it on a track and drive it in anger.
That car had killer suspension and a ton of power, but like so many of the showy Pro Touring cars back then, we doubted it would perform to the level of its equipment. We were wrong. Brent not only took us up on the dare but he also beat on the car for a full day on a road course. And it was fast. The testdriver, GM engineer and Pro Touring hero Mark Stielow, was even impressed at its out-of-the-box goodness. See the Feb. '06 issue for the full story on that.
When Brent called again a few months ago and told us about two more Corvettes he was doing, set up for the road course, with one more show than race but both fully capable of either, we had to see them. The red car (named Maxed Out) was found on RacingJunk.com as an abandoned road race car with fender flares and all. Brent picked it up to build another track car, but after going through the whole Performance Restoration redo, the car looked so good he decided to chrome it up and take it to some indoor shows. All the parts are there to cut some serious lap times, but the summer of 2010 saw the car hit the ISCA circuit. However, Brent assures us that once the trophies are collected (many of which already have been), the car gets sticky tires and will see track time. It has already lost its road course virginity, though not in a hard-core way; while being displayed in the House of Kolors booth at the '10 SEMA show, it was chosen to compete in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational the Saturday after the show. Brent drove the '65 on the mandatory 60ish-mile cruise, but having never been on Pahrump, Nevada's Spring Mountain Motorsports track before and with the car not totally sorted out for that kind of action, he took it pretty easy. Knowing his history and attitude toward cars, though, we have no doubt this pretty piece will see plenty of track time.
Once the direction changed on the red car, the blue car became the hard-core road racer. Brent bought it as a Pro Touring street car but got rid of the street part of it. This Vette still has some custom touches and excellent attention to detail, but it sees door-to-door action in an outlaw vintage racing class all summer long. It has even won a race. It is street legal, but Brent has it set up to be competitive, so it doesn't see many road miles now.
Both cars have big-blocks and stick transmissions, as every Corvette should, and both are also fully 'caged and suspended to be legal, safe, and fast on the road course. The blue car has the least radical parts, since Brent races it on the vintage racing circuit where rules limit what you can do. The red car is more radical, makes 200 more horsepower, and has more chrome and detailing than 99 percent of the angel-hair parkers you've ever seen. The underside is just as clean, which should make any potential off-track situation a little bit of a nervous affair for Brent.
There is plenty of room for show-only hot rods in the hot rodding universethere always has beenbut Brent Jarvis' series of fast Corvettes shows how you can have your pretty cake and eat it too.
I finished the season well with the blue car. I went from getting my ass kicked in the early season to running in the top five all the time and even winning a race. Not bad for a rookie year! Brent Jarvis
I built the red car to go pro racing, but once the chassis and body were done, it looked so badass cool I decided to custom paint and plate it all. Brent Jarvis

This report on a woman blocking in an Ambulance on an emergency call prompted me to relate some of the things I have personally had to endure. The gentleman in the report died of a heart attack whilst his neighbour blocked the ambulance in. She was fined £5oo!
In my job most of the time people do get out of our way and will make reasonable efforts to help us. But, and this is getting worse, more and more seem to be in their own little world where everybody else is not to be considered. I have to contend with idiots who will not pull over to let us past when on 'Blues & Twos' and with drunks who get in the way of us treating patients who havebeen assaulted.
A Good Public Information Film
(Although I cant understand why the Paramedic is being treated by a Fireman and then put into a fire engine?)
I had the not so nice experience of being shouted at and sworn at by a taxi driver to get my ambulance out of the way whilst I and my crew mate were doing CPR on a patient in a house! Only when the taxi driver actually walked in to the house to continue his verbal attack on us did he realise what we were doing…and he still then walked off muttering and grumbling!!!
We are now covered by the 'Emergency Workers Obstruction Act 2006' which gives us some protection but until people start getting prosecuted and it gets made public we are still going to see an increase in this sort of behaviour. As I said earlier most of the time people are good…but it is noticeable that more and more are becoming less tolerant towards us. Is that as a result of the culture we are now living in? This country is becoming increasingly more and more angry and frustrated. This leads to more assaults on us…and sooner, rather than later, one of us will be killed!
But that will be okay…just so long as the taxi driver gets to his next job, or the woman gets to walk her dogs, or the car being driven by the businessman is not delayed, or the customer can get his newspaper whilst we continue CPR on the floor of the newsagents, or the middle aged man can reach over us and get his tin of beans off the shelf in the supermarket whilst again we are doing CPR on a patient!!!
Another Good Public Information film (we don't see enough of them)
We need more patience from people but that has to be thrust into some peoples faces…just to make them take notice! By that I mean we need more prosecutions and more education. Just to reinforce the selfishness and ignorance of some people that we come across…I was actively resuscitating a baby in my arms trying to get past the crowd of people in the A/E department but was hindered by a couple who were complaining of having to wait so long to see a doctor! They could see me struggling to get past them whilst performing mouth to mouth and nose on the baby! Luckily another member of the public dragged them out of the way!
I would like to hear your thoughts and suggestions on how to deal with this and if you have come across this culture of selfishness yourself?

The Worldnutdaily headline screams OBAMA AMNESTY ADDS ILLEGALS TO VOTER ROLLS. But if you read the article, they don't even attempt to show how the new immigration policy could or would do that, just a naked assertion from the founder of an anti-immigration group.
It's been more than a week since President Obama announced a unilateral plan to allow young illegal immigrants to stay in this country and legally obtain work permits, but critics are still fuming over what they see as an unconstitutional method to attain an overt political goal.
Jim Gilchrist is founder of the Minuteman Project – a group founded several years ago in response to what he considered the federal government's abdication of border security responsibilities in the Bush administration. He is even more infuriated with what he sees as blatant political pandering now from President Obama through his executive order to implement key aspects of the DREAM Act…
Gilchrist says Obama is consciously encouraging illegal behavior in hopes of legalizing tens of millions of immigrants who shouldn't be here. He says the ultimate goal is to turn the vast majority of current illegals into loyal Democratic voters.
They don't even try to make an argument here and everything they say here is false. The new policy applies to a very limited group of people, those who were brought here illegally before age 16, are under 30 and are either in the military or in college. That isn't "tens of millions" of people, not even close. And the policy does not give them citizenship, only work visas, which means they aren't eligible to vote. But why let facts get in the way?

MONTREAL - Don't talk to Bruce Beach about doomsday. He's been preparing for impending disaster for a half-century and has seen apocalyptic agitation come and go, like so many fads.
So forgive him for not panicking over the end of the Mayan calendar on Dec. 21, this coming Friday.
The 78-year-old former high school teacher, who has a huge nuclear bunker in Ontario, built his first shelter for the Cuban missile crisis in the 1960s.
He was prepared to go underground for the Y2K crisis, amid widespread concern that computer glitches might bring down airplanes in 2000. He received lots of calls from people seeking shelter during the 1982 Falklands War. But his busiest day was Sept. 11, 2001, when his website was bombarded with 85,000 hits within three hours.
People regularly drop in to seek refuge in the shelter he built in the 1980s, named the "Ark Two," which comprises 42 buried school buses.
His most recent visit was three weeks ago.
The labyrinth, with its kitchens, showers and separate bunk rooms for children and adults, is about 90 kilometres northwest of Toronto, in Horning's Mills, Ont.
"People have been in a panic because someone has prophesized the end of the world this particular week or whatever," Beach said in a phone interview from his home.
"They call us up just to make sure we have space in the shelter and I tell them, 'For sure, come on down.'"
Beach's main concern has always been the threat of nuclear attacks, which he fears are even closer than ever because of Middle East conflicts and Iran's suspected weapons program.
As far as he's concerned, the most troubling news as of late has come from the North Koreans — not the Mayans.
"Everybody was all excited about the North Korean (rocket) launch because you see if they put a satellite in space, they can also put up a nuclear weapon," Beach said.
But for all that planning, there's been a recent snag.
If the apocalypse happened to occur now, Beach would have a nuisance to contend with: busted generators. His two big power sources have broken down.
"We actually have about a dozen generators, but our two main ones are both down at this moment," Beach said in a recent interview.
Beach doesn't sound too worried but, on the off chance he required any consolation, he might have plenty of time to fix that generator.
Western University archeologist Linda Howie wants to make it clear that the Mayan calendar doesn't mark the end of the world, but only the end of a cycle.
She explained in an interview that the Mayans used several calendars, including a "long-count" calendar.
"The long-count calendar — the universal cycle — takes a total of 7,785 solar years for it to complete itself, so what Dec. 21 marks is the end of that long period of time," Howie said.
She said the Mayans never believed that this week would mark the end of the world as we know it.
"It's not the end to civilized society because they refer to dates that are actually even farther beyond Dec. 21, 2012, in some of their inscriptions," Howie said.
"They clearly had a concept of time extending beyond the end of the current universal cycle."
Howie blamed all the doomsday speculation on some missing hieroglyphics on a monument found in Mexico in the 1960s.
"It all comes down to a symbol which translates into: 'It will happen'," she said.
"All it says is that 'it' will be on Dec. 21, 2012, and then half the script is missing and the hieroglyphics about what will happen are destroyed. We don't know what the subject is."
Howie suggested the reason people are feeling a bit more nervous about the date is because it coincides with the winter solstice.
"We know that yearly events like that have had significance to us in the past (and) these points of the year were marked by celebrations and rituals," she added.
So if the general consensus is correct and there is no looming catastrophe this week, what happens next?
One man living in the countryside near Montreal says it's always a good time to get prepared for disaster. Dean, one of the spokespeople for the Canadian Preppers Network, doesn't want his family name used for security reasons.
The network brings together people who focus on emergency preparedness, self-reliance and self-sufficiency.
"I think most Canadians are very unprepared for any type of emergency," Dean said in a phone interview from somewhere in the Laurentian mountains, north of Montreal.
The 42-year-old married father of six said the network has close to 700 participants in Canada, who describe themselves as "preppers."
Dean admitted it's hard to say exactly how many preppers there are because not everybody is ready to reveal their location.
He said that, contrary to some unfortunate stereotypes, preppers are not "tin-foil, hat-wearing nut-jobs up in the woods" who happen to be armed to the teeth.
"We're normal people," he said.
"The only difference is we take a few extra steps to be ready to take care of ourselves and our families should the unthinkable happen."
That means stocking up with spare food, water and a few supplies should an emergency occur.
The "unthinkable" could be anything from a natural disaster — like Hurricane Katrina — to a major power blackout that lasts for days.
Dean said he and his fellow preppers aren't expecting the end of the world this week. But they do have some cause for concern.
"People who believe in (doomsday) may have some adverse reactions," he said.
"Whenever someone yells, 'doomsday,' there are people who go off the deep end, but preppers as a whole —especially in our network — are not expecting the end of the world."
Dean said one of the reasons he moved his family to the mountains north of Montreal was because there's a lack of preparedness by people in the city.
"I think the city would become quite a dangerous place to be in the face of an emergency," he added.
"People who are unprepared will tend to become even nastier than they normally may be if they can't get resources such as food and water."
Dean explained that preppers like to keep a low profile. They suspect that, when the big day comes, they would be targeted by people who don't have any emergency supplies on hand.
