Holidays without their Hero
"He told him 'I'm going to kill you,' and then he killed my friend."
Randy Edwards can't help but relive the moment he saw his friend, Lance Cpl. James Whitehead, gunned down in the passenger seat of his truck while sitting parked in front of the O'Reilly Auto Parts store on 16th Street in Orange. The killing occurred July 26, but Edwards has spent the nearly four months since then trying to come to terms with how something like this could happen to a man he, and the nation he served, called a hero. "I could see (off-duty Orange police captain Robert) Arnold was out of control," Edwards said, recounting the events July 26. "He came at James (Whitehead) with the intent to kill him and that is exactly what he did. It was all just so crazy to get to that point. There was a yelling, then there was a shooting. Then (Whitehead) was dead." Whitehead, a decorated Marine hero, was shot once at point-blank range and succumbed to his injuries almost instantaneously. His last words, said Edwards, were directed at the man who pulled the trigger to end the Marine's life. "James stood up and said, 'You shot me,' while looking Arnold in the face," Edwards remembered in detail. "Arnold just looked at him and said, 'I damn sure did.' Then James just fell back in the truck and died." Edwards said he told his story to an attending patrol officer on the scene within minutes of the shooting, and again at the police department under a more formal setting. His story never wavered, Edwards said, but he was hoping to be able to offer up a play-by-play at least once more when Orange County District Attorney John Kimbrough convened a grand jury to hear the state's case against Arnold in relation to the homicide. "I tried to contact the district attorney, and he never would talk to me," Edwards said. According to the eyewitness, neither he nor the other man present in the vehicle when the shooting occurred was called to give testimony to the grand jury. Edwards said, knowing the jury wasn't getting the whole story, he was not at all surprised the officer wasn't indicted for the shooting of the Marine. Whitehead's sister, Brandy Boyett, said she was given a reason for leaving out testimony from those closest to the actual incident. "Kimbrough told me Edwards and (the truck's other occupant) were liars," Boyett told The Examiner. "He said they were biased and they lied to try and make James look better. In doing that, he said, they actually hurt the case." Edwards said he was flabbergasted at the accusation, especially since he offered to take a polygraph and since no one at the district attorney's office ever spoke with him. "I tried and I tried to talk to (Kimbrough) because I really wanted to tell the story of what really happened. Now they've done this, and I don't have the chance." Kimbrough's office said he was unavailable for comment on the matter. Boyett said Kimbrough did have more to say to her, however. "I asked him if he could appeal and he said no, and I asked him if he could represent the case. He said he could represent only if new evidence came up. He also said he didn't expect the feds to pick up the case. In his opinion, it's over." Information obtained by The Examiner contends the FBI is reviewing the case, despite Kimbrough's statements. But the quest seeking justice for James Whitehead is far from over if his family and friends have any say. Even as the holidays approach, veterans from all walks of service are joining Whitehead's friends and loved ones to form an action group called "Justice for James." The purpose of the group, said Boyett, is to ensure justice is served in the murder of her brother. And as Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays approach, the need for closure is all the more pressing. Whitehead's common-law wife, Karlan Jorgenson, said she is not looking forward to festivities without the man she's vowed to love more than life itself. "I've known James since I was 10 year old. It doesn't seem right for him not to be coming back," Jorgenson said. "He wasn't deployed overseas during the holidays during the time we were married; we spent them together. "Last Thanksgiving, we blew out a burner on the stove trying to make dinner for everyone. We just had the greatest time, and he loved doing stuff like that for people he loved." Jorgenson said this year will be devastating without her husband to share in the joys of the season. "I don't know how I'll get by without him," she said. " I guess I will soon see." "He was a big guy, but he was so full of life and love, it is impossible not to miss him daily," Boyett said of her late brother. "I think of him all the time." The holidays will only serve to enhance the loss. "James was a cook; not like a professional, but when he cooks he made sure it was so perfect and delicious - and pretty. Even when there was no food, he would do what he could and make it gorgeous. I don't know what we'll do now. He was the life of the festivities. He could cook, and he could eat it all, too. Last year, he was up two days straight to make sure it was perfect. "My daughter was ate up with it. She still has a hard time with James being gone. He was like a big brother to her as much as he was an uncle. She is having, still, a really hard time coping with this trauma. "Now, everyone is going their separate ways and we aren't even feeling in the holiday spirit. Everybody always sought out James for Thanksgiving. His food was perfect, and it's little things, or big things, like that that we miss especially now." For now, Boyett and the rest of Whitehead's loved ones will try to make it through the holidays without their brother, husband, father, son and friend. Whitehead's mother, Diana Whitehead, said she misses her son dearly and although she is still in mourning of his passing, she is thankful for groups of concerned Americans who have fought to see justice served for her son. Boyett, too, said she is appreciative of the outpouring of support centered on seeing to it that the man who killed her brother answers for the crime. Her hope for the future is that, by this time next year, Whitehead would receive the justice so many are currently in search of. "If Robert Arnold is not in jail by next Thanksgiving, I hope they at least take his license from him. I don't want another family to have to go through this type of heartache," Boyett said. Orange County editor Jennifer Johnson can be reached at (409) 832-1400, ext. 231, or by e-mail at jennifer [at] theexaminer [dot] com. The following is a related Letter to the Editor submission from a member of Justice for James... Editor: In a previous letter to your paper and prior to the recent grand jury ruling regarding the shooting death of Lance Cpl. James Whitehead, we stated that the veterans were quietly and closely watching this case. We were prayerfully hopeful that we would witness an honest submittal of evidence and a justified result from the grand jury. Such is not the case. With the release of Chief Sam Kittrell's report on his internal investigation, it is apparent that the honorable persons seated on the grand jury were shortchanged. Not having any doubts about the content of Kittrell's report, we questioned the presentation and credibility of District Attorney John Kimbrough. We questioned the grand jury decision of a no bill. It is now obvious there was a very serious infraction on the part of District Attorney Kimbrough. Although Kittrell's report confirms the suspicions so many have had, how is it that Orange Police Capt. Robert Arnold was allowed to remain with the department with the exposed and confirmed use of force issues? His numbers exceeded the average of all other officers in his department. As a former police officer and a Vietnam veteran, the public had many names for me that were not nice and certainly not decent. It aggravated me and some caused extreme hurt. However, all of those persons walked away with their lives. I never considered killing anyone because they called me a "pig" and other names I choose not to print. It is the duty of a police officer to protect the public and certainly not antagonize a situation because of ego problems. The most Whitehead was guilty of was disorderly conduct, a Class C misdemeanor. He was in the process of removing himself from the scene. As Kittrell's report stated, the arrest could have been effected later or when the in route officers arrived. Whitehead's death is not justified homicide - it is plain and simple murder and possibly pre-meditated due to Arnold's statement "I'm going to kill you" prior to pulling the trigger. Kittrell's report displays his professionalism as a police chief. He repeatedly informs Arnold that he could have handled the situation differently and Whitehead would be alive today. Recently a core group meeting of veterans and private citizens was held. For several hours the case was discussed. It was the consensus of the entire group that we will stand in support of justice for Whitehead. It was also the unanimous decision that Kimbrough, an elected official, did not properly, either negligently or purposely, present the evidence to the grand jury. This situation is an insult to not only the grand jury, but to the public who voted for him. It has brought shame upon himself and his office. Because of this, we request that Kimbrough resign his position. Mr. Kimbrough raised his right hand and swore an oath to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this State." He has breached this promise and therefore brought embarrassment upon his office, the County of Orange and the state of Texas. We state today, as we have in the past, if it is proven beyond a doubt that Arnold was justified in taking the life of Whitehead then justice has been served. If it cannot be proved that Arnold was justified, then justice has yet to be served. Can it be any clearer than this? We demand that all persons within the subject agencies simply perform their jobs honestly and completely. It is because of the recent information that has been released and the doubt and mistrust upon Kimbrough that it also be done openly to the public. The results of doubting the sincerity and to blatantly insult the intelligence of the people by such actions shall be proven at the polls. In closing the veterans and citizens wish to express our sincerest appreciation to the staff of The Examiner. Your honest, accurate and consistent reporting is singular in Southeast Texas and represents, to the highest degree, ethical and moral reporting. We are proud to say "You Are The Best." With and for the people Justice for Lance Cpl. James Whitehead U.S. Marine Corps. Ken Cavaretta

French MPs come to order, then play chess and gamble
FRENCH members of parliament have been spotted playing online poker and chess and buying wine and clothes on tablet computers in the National Assembly.
The discovery has prompted calls for the new Socialist speaker to scramble wireless signals in the chamber for the sake of democracy.
In the past, French MPs would discreetly stuff a newspaper inside a serious political document during tedious debates.
Now they brazenly get out their iPads and similar tablets.
Photographers in the press balcony have caught several MPs, reportedly including ministers, taking online poker bets, reading adult cartoons, perusing online clothes catalogues and even placing an order for fine wines.
Others have been caught using the devices to flout a photography ban in the chamber.
The Socialist deputy for the Paris suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis, Matthieu Hanotin, admitted to having been ''nabbed'' playing online chess during a late-night debate.
Such distractions are apparently tolerated by the assembly's new speaker, Claude Bartolone, who has declined to use the scrambling device installed by one of his conservative predecessors, Jean-Louis Debre.
Mr Debre, now president of France's constitutional council, was appalled.
''When debating a bill, an MP must be alone with his conscience and his ideas,'' he said.
He was ''all for mobiles and computers anywhere else in parliament''.
In Britain, Parliament resolved last year that ''hand-held devices [not laptops] may be used in the chamber, provided that they are silent, and used in a way that does not impair decorum''.
Tablet screens have become a familiar sight in the House of Commons.
One argument for lifting a previous restriction on them was that ''members might be more willing to spend time in the chamber listening to debates'' if allowed to multitask with hand-held devices.

How to Make Sure Your Dust Collection System Complies with Combustible Dust Standards
Combustible dust explosions are a risk in many areas of a chemical plant. Are you in compliance? This white paper reviews the OSHA NEP for combustible dust, NFPA standards on explosion hazards, equipment used for explosion protection, and how to avoid the most common shortfalls to compliance.01/27/2014
Understanding Dust Explosion Dangers
The unfortunate propensity of dust explosions to destroy entire facilities and claim lives is very real. Powder handling processes often are comprised of interconnected enclosures and equipment. Flame and pressure resulting from a dust explosion can therefore propagate through piping, across galleries, and reach other pieces of equipment or enclosures, leading to extensive damage. In this Chemical Processing Special Report, we take a look at the latest NFPA standards and dust explosion mitigation strategies. This Special Report covers:
- Significant revisions to dust explosion standards – NFPA 654 major changes include new administrative requirements
- How to defuse dust dangers - carefully consider and then counter risks of fire and explosion
- Five common dust explosion misconceptions that can lead to a false sense of security

White Paper: Understanding the Risks Associated with FIBCs and Electrostatic Hazards
Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) have found their niche in the worldwide transportation of powdered, flaked and granulated products. FIBCs are typically made of woven plastic with some type of liner insert and are often referred to as super sacks, big bags or bulk bags in industry. During filling and emptying of FIBCs there is a steady accumulation of static charge that can result in electrostatic discharges from the FIBC. This may in turn provide sufficient energy for ignition of combustible particulate solids or flammable vapors, not to mention unsettling shocks to nearby personnel. In this white paper we review the NFPA 654 Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from Combustible Particulate Solids and the importance of why identifying the Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE) of your combustible dust or flammable vapor is a necessary component for selecting the correct FIBC Type for your application. Download now.10/22/2012
How to Make Sure Your Dust Collection System Complies with Combustible Dust Standards
Combustible dust explosions are a risk in many areas, but one of the most common locations is the dust collector. This white paper reviews OSHA and NFPA standards, how to identify hazards, and the types of equipment used for explosion protection. It also examines common shortfalls to compliance.09/25/2012
CP Special Report: Hardware Safety
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Process Safety Management (PSM) Standard [29 CFR 1910.119(j)] require plant management to identify and address hazards. Further challenging plant management, the mechanical integrity (MI) element of the PSM has been difficult for many facilities to implement. In fact, PSM audits by OSHA have consistently demonstrated that MI accounts for a large number of citations at most facilities. In this Chemical Processing Special Report, we take a look at how to effectively implement strategies to comply with PSM standards including:
- Common piping, hoses and valves hazards – what PHA (Process Handling Analysis) teams should look for to improve the quality of the hazard evaluation
- MI element of PSM – an in-depth look at the stated MI requirements, the perceived interpretation of these requirements and further considerations for identifying your plant's compliance strategy
- MI implications – the impact MI has on plant's written procedures, training, inspection & testing, and how equipment deficiencies and quality assurance programs are managed

Designing Sustainable Products
All of the benefits of Product Lifecycle Management can be erased by significant non-compliance events that impact a company through fines, penalties, negative publicity, or prohibition to sell a new product in key markets. Without a sustainability strategy, the PLM value proposition is at risk.04/07/2011
Raising Confidence and Driving Business Value with Product and REACH Compliance
Over the past 10 years, manufacturers have faced an increasing number of compliance and product quality challenges, ranging from new regulations to product recalls. This White Paper details the business case for an integrated and comprehensive view of product and REACH compliance processes. If "done right," it is expected that these improvements to the compliance process can not only provide time and cost savings but also open doors to new markets, lower risks associated with complex supply chains, protect the reputation of the brand, and create a foundation for environmental sustainability.12/14/2010
Asking The Right Questions About Cartridge Dust Collection
Over the past decade, cartridge-style dust collectors have overtaken baghouses as the preferred technology for dust collection in the chemical processing industry.

First official Avengers 4 trailer prepares for the emotional end
The first trailer for
Avengers 4
, officially called Avengers: Endgame, has arrived, celebrating Marvel's 10-year achievement in building its Cinematic Universe.
It's a journey through everything that's happened over the last decade — from Tony Stark's first jaunt as
Iron Man
to the devastating battle against Thanos in Avengers:
Infinity War
, which was released earlier this year. Many of Earth's mightiest heroes are still dealing with the loss of their close friends who faded into dust during Infinity War's most climactic moment.
Marvel has kept details about Avengers: Endgame under wraps since it began shooting last year, but the trailer does tease a little more of what's to come in the heroes' last stand against Thanos.
Avengers 4 marks the final film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe's current generation. It comprises 22 films, including Spider-Man: Homecoming and the upcoming Captain Marvel. Avengers 4 will reportedly be the last Marvel movie for some key actors, including Chris Evans, who seemingly bid farewell to his character, Captain America, earlier this year on Twitter. Other original Avengers actors, including Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, and Chris Hemsworth haven't said if they're leaving following Avengers: Endgame.
Avengers: Endgame will be released on April, earlier than expected. It's preceded by Captain Marvel, and it will be followed by Spider-Man: Far From Home.

c. 1511; Oil on hardboard transferred from panel, painted surface: 87 x 75 cm; support: 89 x 77.6 cm; National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, USA
Among the outstanding German artists of the period around 1500 was Hans Baldung Grien, a printmaker and painter. He produced book illustrations, devotional woodcuts, stained-glass window designs, portraits, and morality paintings as well as religious panels such as this one.
John the Baptist is here depicted to the left of Jesus. He simultaneously gestures to the lamb at his feet and to the infant, visually alluding to his own description of Christ as "the Lamb of God." The Virgin's mother, Saint Anne, although dressed in a sixteenth-century wimple, wears her traditional robe of red, a symbol of divine love. Garbed in green, symbolic of rebirth and eternal life, Mary offers Jesus an apple. This fruit, associated with the fall of Adam and Eve, here signifies Mary as the new Eve and Christ as the second Adam.
Baldung Grien's figures are symbolically, rather than realistically, depicted. Mary, for instance, is represented as a very young girl. And, although John and Jesus historically were about the same age, the Baptist is portrayed as an adult to emphasize his prophetic message. The painting was discovered in a small village church in Alsace, an area where the artist spent most of his life.

It would be great to see some more activity in the Photoshop forum section and I thought I'd just start with an FAQ thread. I am no professional Photoshop user, so I could really use some help on this one. If you can think of any questions that should be on this list, post them here and I'll add them (if you know the answer, too, go ahead and post that as well). I will update the thread as often as possible.
Last Update: 23 Nov 2007
How do I navigate quicker in Photoshop?
Fit on screen: Double click on Hand Tool OR press CTRL+'0'
Actual pixels: Double click on Zoom Tool OR press ALT+CTRL+'0'
Use hand tool on the fly: Hold down spacebar
Use Move tool on the fly: Hold down CTRL
Zoom in: Hold down spacebar+CTRL OR press CTRL+'+'
Zoom out: Hold down spacebar+ALT OR press CTRL+'-'
How do I create tileable, seamless textures?
- Go to Filter->Other->Offset and offset your image vertically and horizontally by approximately half the image size (e.g. if your image size is 1024x1024 offset if by 512 pixel).
- The image is now seamless at the edges but you also have two crossing seems going through the center of your image. Use the Clone Stamp Tool to carefully erase the seams
How can I create guides on the fly?
Press CTRL+'r' to display rulers. Click drag from either the left or top ruler into the picture to create a guide.
How do I delete single guides?
Switch to the Move tool ('v') and Click drag the ruler back to the ruler until it disappears.
How can I line up my guides in the exact center of my image?
Using the ruler: Use the crop tool to cover the entire image, don't crop but drag the guides into the center and you will notice that they snap to crop center
Using new guide: Go to View->New Guide and under position type "50%". Do this for both vertical and horizontal.
How do I turn the background layer into a normal layer?
Press CTRL+'j' to duplicate layer and delete background OR simply rename the background layer
How do I select all visible pixels in a layer without selecting the entire layer?
Hold down CTRL and click on the layer.
How do I change the red color of my quick mask?
Double click on the "Quick Mask Mode" button in the Tools Palette and a Quick Mask Options Window will pop up. Here you can change the mask color, mask opacity, and whether the color indicates masking or unmasking.
How do I permanently turn on the hidden menus?
Go to Edit->Menus and turn on visibility for all menus. If you change the set to "Photoshop Defaults" it should usually make all menus visible automatically.
How can I turn a photo into a drawing?
1. Desaturate the photo by using Image->Adjustments->Desaturate
2. Copy the desaturated layer by pressing CTRL+'j'
3. Inverse the colors of the top layer (the one which you just copied) by pressing CTRL+'i'
4. In the Layer Palette set the blending mode of the top layer to "Color Dodge" (The lighting of both layers should cancel each other out, hence giving you a white image)
5. Apply a Gaussian Blur to the top layer; the greater the amount of blur, the darker the lines and shadows will turn out.
6. Use the Burn and Dodge tool ('o') on the top layer to adjust the image to your liking
How can I pan the view with a maximized window of my document?
Hit the 'f' button to switch to a full screen view
My tablet pen has lost its pressure sensitivity, how do I fix it?
- Exit Photoshop
- Go to the Photoshop Settings folder (usually found under c:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings) and delete the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp file
- Restart Photoshop

VA Launches Hotline for Health Care, Women Veteran Questions
- Details
- Category: News
- Created: Wednesday, 24 April 2013 07:52
- Last Updated: Wednesday, 24 April 2013 07:52
- Written by Administrator
"Some women veterans may not know about high-quality VA care and services available to them," VA Secretary Eric K. Shinseki said. "The hotline will allow us to field their questions and provide critical information about the latest enhancements in VA services."
The hotline is staffed by VA employees who can provide information about benefits, including health care services for women, officials said. Callers can be linked to information on claims, education or health care appointments, as well as information about VA cemeteries and memorial benefits. Staff members can answer urgent questions and provide referrals to mental health and homeless services and Vet Center information.
Women make up nearly 15 percent of today's active duty military and 18 percent of National Guard and Reserve forces. The number of women using VA health care was nearly 160,000 in 2000, and that number more than doubled to 354,000 in 2012. Based on the upward trend of women in all branches of military service, VA officials said, the number of women veterans using VA services will keep climbing.
As part of its commitment to making improvements for the growing population of women veterans, officials noted, VA established an outbound call center in 2010 to contact women veterans and encourage them to enroll in VA health care.
"In VA health care alone, women constitute only 6 percent of VA patients, but those veterans have a high perception of the quality care they are receiving," said Irene Trowell-Harris, director of VA's Center for Women Veterans. "Many women who served don't self-identify as veterans, and therefore don't think they qualify for VA benefits. We need to correct existing misinformation and misperceptions so we can serve more women veterans with the benefits they've earned."
Women veterans are entitled to apply for the same benefits as their male counterparts, which include health care and pharmacy benefits as well as education benefits, disability compensation, home loans, employment assistance and more.
The 1-855-VA-WOMEN hotline joins numerous other VA hotlines that provide critical information and assistance to veterans, such as those for veterans in crisis and in danger of becoming homeless.
Veterans also can receive information and apply for benefits online at http://www.eBenefits.va.gov and manage their health care at http://MyHealtheVet.va.gov, officials said.

According to a statement released by the city, the State of California's Finance Department had approved the funding on three previous occasions.
"We're very disappointed that the $2.6 million disagreement will stand in the way of a great development at 7th and K Street that will renovate nine vacant and dilapidated buildings. These properties have been a downtown eyesore for too many years." said City Manager John Shirey. "We found ourselves with no choice but to take legal action as we are firmly committed to redeveloping the 700 block of K Street. Without this delay, it would have been finished by the time the new downtown arena is expected to open."
This city says the project was approved before the Redevelopment Agency stopped operating under governor's decree.
The total value of the project is $48 million and will include 65,000 square feet of retail and a five story apartment building.

Farmers Fran and Simon Ackerley have built a home designed with future generations in mind. Heather Dixon reports.
When Fran and Simon Ackerley bought 200 acres of prime East Yorkshire farm land in 2008 they thought it would be relatively easy to get planning permission to build a farmhouse for themselves and their three sons.
Instead it took five long years of patient negotiating, perserverence and optimism to get the go-ahead for a four-bedroom family home, and a further two to reach the point where they could finally move in.
"It was a very drawn-out process," says Simon. "There were changes to the family business arrangements which gave us the opportunity to buy the land and expand the farm."
They were also living in a two bedroom cottage and needed more room as the boys got older. They ploughed everything they had into the land and farm buildings on the outskirts of Pocklington. They also applied for planning permission to build a farmhouse on site so they could run the business as efficiently as possible.
But their application was turned down on the basis that there was no functional need for a family home. "They wanted to see three years of business accounts and for us to prove a functional and financial need for a house on the site," says Simon. "It didn't make sense to us as we already had a small cattle herd and a poultry business and saw this as an expansion of the existing business."
Undeterred, Fran and Simon managed to get permission to create temporary accommodation in the form of pre-fab cabins, so they could still live on site while running the farm and collating the documents required to re-submit their planning application.
"We put in for a larger house than we actually wanted, fully expecting it to be knocked back," says Simon. "We were delighted when East Riding of Yorkshire Council finally granted planning permission, without change to its size."
"Until this point Simon had refused to plan anything at all to do with the build in case it was rejected again," says Fran. "The whole process was really draining. Then suddenly it was all systems go."
They were already long-standing friends with York-based builder Paul Anderson who had involved with the planning application from day one. He started virtually straight away and by Christmas the foundations – comprising solid concrete under the main part of the house and elevated block and beam under the single storey extension - were laid.
"The land is a mixture of clay and chalk," says Fran. "It had been a dry autumn so there was no problem with drainage and the footings were very straight forward. The only challenge was in raising the floor level of the extension to create a seamless link into the main house. The extension is built on a slope but we didn't want a step inside, so the extension had to be raised instead."
Although Fran and Simon wanted the house to be oak framed with plenty of glazing, they were also keen to respect local build styles and materials. With this in mind they agreed to combine hand-made, old style Brantingham Blend bricks with a Penrhyn Welsh slate roof, adding timber framed extensions front and back. The brick structure was built first while the timber frame section was created off-site by Yorkshire Oak Frames. The company's precise
engineering, coupled with Paul Anderson's perfectionism, resulted in a perfect fit between the two structures.
This perfectionism also paid off in the detail of the build. Fran and Simon were keen to introduce subtle but significant architectural details into the exterior, such as a plinth stone around the house. This rim stands proud of the main wall and required an additional two-inch concrete support plinth to be built behind it, around the entire property, to provide support for the main wall above.
The hand made windows are all set back into the openings to create a shadow line around each one, and Fran wanted a substantial overhang on the roof line to avoid a 'flat' finish to the exterior.
"We had renovated properties before and knew we wanted to use reclaimed materials, or materials that looked ready aged," says Fran. "We had always liked the natural style of oak frames, but didn't want the entire house to be built of wood because we felt it would be too overpowering, so we chose just a central section to give the house character."
Fran and Simon were also keen to source everything locally where possible, so the main structural elements were provided by local companies.
"Alot of the house evolved as we went along," says Simon. "We changed our minds along the way but both Paul and Adam, from the timber frame company, were very easy to work with and always adaptable. As a result the design of the house and the details within it evolved as the build progressed."
After living in a portacabin for three-and-a-half years, the family moved in.
"The house has exceeded all our expectations," says Fran.

I can't wait to get that one working properly! I must've played it 3 times in a row, even with that crappy sound card that would "hang notes".
If LucasArts (now Disney) kept having to pump out Star Wars games, why not a TF2 or TF online?
Mau1wurf1977 wrote:Ok I swapped the V2 cards out, maybe it was an issue with the SLI bridge I'm not sure. At least they are scaling nicely again.
However the PIII Tualatin still dominates in extreme CPU bound situations (512 x 386 in SLI). Maybe this is because of the difference in CPU architecture (The P4 has a longer pipeline). It takes a much higher clocked P4 to get get close to the PIII Tualatin in such situations.
Incoming benchmark glitches out with fast CPUs. The scores are negative and off
I might just leave the P4 out of the V2 scaling project. The Tualatin 1400 does a great job at pushing the V2 as it is.

Phil Mickelson fell out of contention Sunday when he gave up a one-stroke lead with bogeys on two of the final three holes at Quail Hollow in the Wells Fargo Championship, which was won by rookie Derek Ernst in a playoff against David Lynn.
Mickelson failed to make the playoff after he had bogeys at Nos. 16 and 17 that led to a final round of one-over-par 73 and a third-place finish. He did have a chance to make the playoff at No. 18, but he missed a 20-foot birdie putt.
"I'm pretty bummed out," Mickelson said. "I thought that this was one I had in control. If I could have gotten that bunker shot up and down on 15, I would have had a two-shot lead heading into those last three holes, which I know are difficult holes, so it would have been nice to have that.
"There is just no excuse. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary or difficult. I should have made par."
Several big-name players faded on Sunday. Robert Karlsson and Lee Westwood, who had back-to-back birdies on the back nine, tied for fourth. Rory McIlroy also struggled on the back nine, including a double bogey, to finish with a 73 and tied for 10th.
Ernst, playing in only his ninth PGA Tour event with a world ranking of No. 1,207 (yes, that's one-thousand two-hundred and seven) that will greatly improve, and Lynn each came from three shots behind in the final round by shooting two-under 70 to finish 72 holes of play at eight-under 280.
Ernst won the tournament on the first playoff hole, No. 18, with a par. Lynn found the rough near a creek with his drive and put his approach in a greenside bunker, from where he sent his next shot over the green back into the rough. His chip for par ran several feet past the hole. Ernst drove into the fairway and then struck a six-iron from 190 yards to within 15 feet of the pin, winning with a tap-in par.
"The feeling is unbelievable right now," said Ernst, who earned $1.2 million for the win and a two-year exemption. "I didn't think about what I had to do or what I didn't do. I just thought about each shot. What is the next one? How am I going to get this next one in the hole? So that was big."

Do the Salmon Dance!
The Chemical Brothers - The Salmon Dance Lyrics
Hello Boys and girls, my name is FatLip
and this is my friend Sammy the Salmon
Today, we're going to teach you some fun facts about Salmon,
And a brand new dance.
Let me introduce to you a brand new dance
I know you're gonna love it if you give it one chance
It's not complicated, it's not too hard
You don't even have to be a hip hop star
See anyone can do it, all you need is style
Listen up peep gang (?) I'm a show you how
Put your hands to the side, as silly AS SILLY AS IT SEEMs
And shake your body like a salmon floatin' up stream!
I'll float up stream
(you know how we do it, you know how we do it)
*All my peeps spend part of their life in fresh water*
*And part of their life in salt water*
Wow, very interesting
*We change round a couple of days after spawning*
*Then we DIE* (?)
When I first did the Salmon all the people just laughed
They looked around and stood like I was on c****
I heard somebody say out loud what the f*** is that
This n***'s dancin like a fish while he's doin' the snap
But the more I kept doing it the more they kept feelin' it
Tnd then I heard some b**** say yo that n**** killin' it
By the end of the night everyone was on my team
And the whole club was dancing like a salmon floatin' up stream!
I'll float up stream
(you know how we do it, you know how we do it)
*Most of our friends find their home waters by their sense of smell*
*which is even more keen than that of a dog or a bear*
*My family also rely on ocean currents, tides*
*The gravitational pull of the moon*
The moon? Fish pay attention to the moon? Wow.
*Did you know?*
*That I could go to Japan, and back.*
You're kidding me. Amazing. Jeez.
*Polluted water can kill both baby salmon, that are developing*
*and the adult salmon, that are on their way to spawn.*
Wow what a shame, what a shame
Wow. Hey kids, hey give it up for Sammy the Salmon and his amazing salmon dance.
Huh? Whadda ya say?
Who's Hungry?

All The Same lyrics
by Sick Puppies.
I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly
I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do
I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here
Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden
And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am
[ All The Same lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com/ ]
I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here
Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same
Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same
In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same
Go ahead say it you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Good Bye, Maestro!
Luciano Pavarotti (October 12, 1935 – September 6, 2007) was an Italian tenor and one of the most popular contemporary vocal performers in the world of opera and across multiple musical genres. Known for his televised concerts, media appearances, and as one of the Three Tenors, Pavarotti was also noted for his award-winning charity work for raising money on behalf of refugees and the Red Cross.
Pavarotti annually hosted the "Pavarotti and Friends" charity concerts in his home town of Modena in Italy, joining with singers from all parts of the music industry to raise money for several UN causes. Concerts were held for War Child, and victims of war and civil unrest in Bosnia, Guatemala, Kosovo and Iraq. After the war in Bosnia, he financed and established the Pavarotti Music Center in the southern city of Mostar to offer Bosnia's artists the opportunity to develop their skills. For these contributions, the city of Sarajevo named him an honorary citizen in 2006.[17]
You can know more about the work of our Youth and Children Orchestra by watching the movie To play and to Fight.
To Play and To Fight is the captivating story of the Venezuelan Youth and Children's Orchestra System, an incredible network of hundreds of orchestras formed within most of Venezuela's towns and villages. Once a modest program designed to expose rural children to the wonders of music, 'El Sistema' has evolved into what has been called "one of the most important and beautiful social phenomena in modern history."Close to half a million students have participated in the program, which was founded in 1975 by musician and former government minister Jose Antonio Abreu as a social program to improve the lives of the country's underprivileged youth.
La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento,
Muta d'accento — e di pensiero.
Sempre un amabile,
Leggiadro viso,
In pianto o in riso, — è menzognero.
La donna è mobile qual piuma al vento
Muta d'accento e di pensier!
e di pensier!
e di pensier!
È sempre misero
Chi a lei s'affida,
Chi le confida — mal cauto il cuore!
Pur mai non sentesi
Felice appieno
Chi su quel seno — non liba amore!
La donna è mobile
qual piuma al vento,
Muta d'accento e di pensier!
e di pensier!
e di pensier!
Now The English version I found in Wikipedia:
Woman is flighty
Like a feather in the wind,
She changes her voice — and her mind.
Always sweet,
Pretty face,
In tears or in laughter, — she is always lying.
Woman is flighty
Like a feather in the wind,
She changes the tone of her voice and her thoughts,
And her thoughts!
And her thoughts!
Always miserable
Is he who trusts her,
He who confides in her — his unwary heart!
Yet one never feels
Fully happy
Who on that bosom — does not drink love!
Woman is flighty
Like a feather in the wind,
She changes the tone of her voice and her thoughts,
And her thoughts!
And her thoughts!
Now, How was that? Did you like it? What's your favorite Luciano's song?

10th annual Orange Art in the Park
It doesn't get much better than this. The city of Orange and the Orange Convention and Visitors Bureau are sponsoring the 10th annual Art in the Park on Saturday, March 24, from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m., and it is totally free. The event will take place at Stark Park in Orange. Jay Trahan, director of Economic Development and department head of the CVB, said that there is sure to be something for every member of the family to enjoy.
"The 10th Annual Art in the Park event is an opportunity for us to showcase the city of Orange and invite folks to visit our local tourist attractions," said Trahan. "Visitors can see the new Central Fire Station, Stark Museum of Art, the famed Stark House, Shangri La, as well as some of our other, perhaps more familiar, sites."
Trahan said that there will be live entertainment and the family-oriented event will feature over 150 booths. Visitors will enjoy viewing and buying arts, crafts and, of course, some good Southeast Texas food. Neighbors will visit with neighbors, visitors will have the opportunity to visit and chat with the vendors, and make some purchases to add décor and fun to their homes or offices.
Local artists and craftsmen from Center, Friendswood and Jewel have registered to show their wares. As of press time, an artist from Oklahoma featuring World War II aviation art is planning to be on hand. "This should be a sure draw for some of our senior citizens who enjoy this event so much," said organizers.
Another artist from Denham Springs, La., will display horseshoe nail cross necklaces and beach glass crosses. "There are so many on the list I cannot name them all," said Trahan, "but the 10th anniversary event is shaping up to be a big one, and for that, we are thrilled."
The younger ones have not been forgotten in the planning of the event. There will be games for children, pony rides, a petting zoo, bounce houses, as well as other fun things for them to do while attending Art in the Park. The food vendors are anxious to return to Orange and the variety to be offered is amazing. There will literally be something for everyone.
Entertainment on the main stage will feature the Dixieland Review, the Lone Star Pipe Band, Traveling Roads, Doug Childress and Gone to Texas, Joe Soliz and Band, and the ever-popular Texas favorite Ezra Charles. A street dance will take place between 6 and 9 p.m. Strolling through Stark Park will be the Lone Star Pipe Band, and the well-known Sweet Adelines will also perform. On the CVB lawn, the Orange Community Band will entertain the guests.Ezra Charles and his band are huge draws anywhere in Southeast Texas. In the diverse world of Texas music, the Ezra Charles Band may be the most diverse of all. The features that make their act unique are a long list: a front-man singer-songwriter on piano, a three-piece horn section that is all female, bass lines played by the keyboardist, a repertoire that is almost all original, a range of musical styles from rockabilly to swing to blues to boogie, the ability to shift from infectious dance-hall beats to intimate cabaret-style songwriting presentations to international arena-level concerts, and three decades of longevity.
The present band began in 1983 as a rockabilly trio, but two years later Ezra added a three-piece horn section, and the lineup was born that has survived to this day. A big part of the impact of the band's live show comes from the fact that Ezra combined the concept of female backup singers with a horn section by recruiting three girls who play trumpet, trombone and sax.
The music they play consists mainly of songs written by Ezra Charles that fill the eight CDs they have released on their own label. Ezra has spent the last 25 years creating a body of work that chronicles his life and the Texas Gulf Coast atmosphere that permeates his music. As the band's horn arranger as well as songwriter, he has drawn from both the heritage of the "Blue-Eyed Soul" horn bands of the Beaumont-Port Arthur-Louisiana region where he grew up, as well as the rich Houston sound of the Duke-Peacock stable that recorded behind Bobby "Blue" Bland and Gatemouth Brown.
Although their style is hard to categorize, it is fair to say that the band's music includes elements of everything that makes Texas music special. Concerts by the Ezra Charles Band always include improvisation and exciting interplay between the musicians, epitomizing what great live music is all about. Guests will want to stay for this performance wrapping up the tenth annual event.
The CVB is planning for the popular event to increase hotel and restaurant business for the hospitality industry in Orange during this fun weekend with every member of the family in mind. The CVB is funded by the city's hotel occupancy tax.
Readers may contact the CVB office at (409) 883-1011 for more information about Art in the Park or visit the Web site at ww.orangetexas.org.
Brenda Cannon Henley can be reached at (409) 781-8788 or at brendacannonhenley [at] yahoo [dot] com.

The apocalyptic fantasy sandbox MMORPG Xsyon is on sale for 50% off through June 17th!
It's a good time to invite your friends and build up your tribe!
In addition
- I will be patching minor updates to the Main Servers this week. These are further preparatory patches, primarily to adjust the database so that I can more easily run tests (on the Test Server) with the most current data. I will announce minor patches that require a server restart with a 30 minute advanced alert.
- Thanks to new and returning Guides we will have a more active Guide Team running events this summer! Once the event season has been planned out I will post all the details in our event calendar.
The apocalyptic fantasy sandbox MMORPG Xsyon is on sale for 50% off for one more week!
We're running a special promotion as we're getting very close to the upcoming creature updates finally. So far, the required systems update patch in late March has gone smoothly and there's just a bit of balancing and testing before to do before I can start patching the upcoming series of improvements.
The Test Server will open up again next week to again test pets and mounts and to focus on creature AI and balance tests. Until then, enjoy the special promotion!
Hello Xsyon Citizens!
I will be patching an update this coming Monday, March 18th starting at 9:00 AM PST.
This is the final preparatory patch for the upcoming creature updates.
The servers will be down for several hours during this patch as it requires an update to the database system and software that Xsyon depends upon.
I will run performance tests on this patch for a week and fix any reported issues. If all looks good, the first creature update (AI and motion revisions - which is a major change) is ready to go next, followed finally by pets and then mounts.
Xsyon is participating in Steam's annual Winter Holiday Sale and is 50% off through January 3rd!
During this time we are also handing out Christmas gifts. This year we are giving out the traditional Santa and Elf outfits along with a blueprint of your choice.
To put in a request for Christmas gifts, please open a ticket in the help desk and leave a basket at your Tribe Totem.
You can choose one outfit:

Hello everyone!
Edit: 5:30 PM PST
The servers are up and running at the new location. Enjoy!
The servers will be down for approximately 3 hours as I am transitioning to a new server host.
Hello Xsyon Citizens!
I am upgrading the servers this week. The new Test Server and Download Server are already up and running. Next up I will move the War and Peace Servers and then back to...
