On October 6, 2010, Deputy Carter and his K-9, Chase, were dispatched to a reported Breaking and Entering in progress at 4800 Quail Hunt Cr. The victim advised that two black males had come to her front door and knocked on it several times and when she "did not answer it, they went to her back door and kicked it in." The victim also advised communications that the suspects were coming up the stairs and she was hiding in the upstairs bathroom. As they were walking up the stairs Deputy Carter arrived and the suspects yelled, "The Cops."
Deputy Carter immediately got K-9 Chase out of the patrol vehicle and went to the back door where he observed the two suspects running from the house. Deputy Carter identified himself and told them to stop. The suspects kept running and K-9 Chase was released. Chase apprehended the first suspect and the second suspect immediately stopped and fell to the ground, asking Deputy Carter not to "turn the dog loose on him."
Deputy Carter's quick response and assistance from K-9 Chase led to the apprehension of the two suspects. They are also suspects in six armed robberies and several Breaking and Entering cases. The victim and her husband were much appreciative and impressed with how the Sheriff's Office handled their very dangerous incident. Congratulations Deputy Carter!

Smite has introduced a new goddess in their roster of mythological figures, Discordia, the Goddess of Strife. Also known as the Greek goddess Eris, Discordia was best known after conjuring up a golden apple with the words "for the fairest." The same golden apple which would set Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite against one another, and ignite the Trojan War.
And now, she has descended to the battlefields of Smite to reclaim her title once more like the Goddess of Strife and Discord.
Passive – Contest of Gods
Contest of Gods is Discordia's passive skill. Discordia will continually compare herself and her teammates to see who the best is. Whichever god on her team deals the most damage to enemy gods, that god will then receive a power buff which scales off Discordia's level.
1st Ability – Unruly Magic
Unruly Magic enables Discordia to send an orb of uncontrollable magic to a location that will damage any enemies it hits along the way. At that place it will then break down into 6 minor projectiles that will fire out in all directions, damaging enemies hit and bounce off of walls.
2nd Ability – Strife
Strife allows Discordia to create an area of Strife that will damage all hit enemies. If it hits two or more enemy gods at the same time, they will be afflicted by Madness for a second, forcing them to attack each other for additional damage. The same ability affects minions. If only a single target of one type is hit, then that target will then be rooted for a short duration of time.
3rd Ability – Erratic Behavior
Erratic Behavior allows Discordia to leap a short distance and then creates an area of confusion where she lands. Once she is inside the area, she goes stealth, gaining movement speed and causing her skills Unruly Magic's and Strife's cooldowns to reduce by an additional amount of time every 0.5 seconds she remains in the area. However, attacking from the area will reveal her.
Ultimate – Golden Apple of Discord
Golden Apple of Discord is Discordia's ultimate skill. She throws her Golden Apple of Discord which damages and then passes through minions. The spell can also bounce off walls. If the Apple of Discord hits an enemy god, it will damage them and force them to hold the Apple. Enemy gods holding the Apple will then become intolerable, causing them to be Crippled and Intoxicated. At the end of the duration, the Apple will then detonate, dealing damage and spreading its effects to any nearby gods.
Discordia, the Goddess of Strife, is part of Smite's update Patch 4.21. If you want to check out her skills and what she can do in the battlefields, you can download Smite on your Microsoft Windows PCs and gaming laptops.

Richard Griffiths dies: Daniel Radcliffe leads tribute to the veteran actor
Richard Griffiths, who portrayed Uncle Vernon in the Harry Potter series, has died. Daniel Radcliffe, who played the boy wizard and performed with Griffiths in the stage play 'Equus,' said the veteran performer had encouraged and coached him and helped him get over his nerves.
| London
British actor Richard Griffiths, best known for his roles in 'Withnail and I' and the Harry Potter films, has died at the age of 65, his agent said on Friday.
Griffiths spent almost four decades in radio, film, on television and on stage, and received some of his industry's top awards for his role in Alan Bennett's play "The History Boys".
The portly actor filled the screen as the lascivious Uncle Monty in the cult 1987 film 'Withnail and I'.
But younger fans will remember him for his portrayal of a much crueler avuncular figure - Harry Potter's red-faced and bullying uncle Vernon Dursley.
Daniel Radcliffe, who played the boy wizard and performed with Griffiths in the stage play "Equus", said the veteran performer had encouraged and coached him and helped him get over his nerves.
"Richard was by my side during two of the most important moments of my career ... any room he walked into was made twice as funny and twice as clever just by his presence. I am proud to say I knew him," Radcliffe said in a statement.
Griffiths' agent, Simon Beresford, described him as "a remarkable man and one of our greatest and best-loved actors". He said Griffiths died in hospital on Thursday.
The actor was born in Thornaby-on-Tees in Yorkshire, northern England, the son of a steelworker. Both his parents were deaf and he learned sign language to communicate with them.
After studying drama in Manchester, he worked in radio and on theatre, building a reputation as a Shakespearean clown.
He reprised his role as teacher Hector in a film of the "The History Boys" in 2006. One of his best known roles on television was a cookery-loving detective in "Pie in the Sky".
On stage, he was known for his intolerance of mobile phones ringing during performances, and halted plays several times to complain and even eject offending audience members.
Griffiths was given an OBE in 2008 and is survived by his wife Heather.

I am an amateur mathematician, and I had an idea which I worked out a bit and sent to an expert. He urged me to write it up for publication. So I did, and put it on arXiv. There were a couple of rounds of constructive criticism, after which he tells me he thinks it ought to go a "top" journal (his phrase, and he went on to name two).
His opinion is that my outsider status will have no effect on the reviewing process and my paper will be taken seriously. I am pleased and quite flattered to hear this, and my inclination is to do as he suggests. But I have to say it sounds too good to be true. Does this match other people's experience? I understand it's rare enough for undergraduates to publish anywhere, and I am not even an undergraduate! Surely a "non-mathematician submitting to top mathematical journal" must instantly rank high on the crackpot scale. How often does this actually occur successfully these days? Any advice?

With New York's local market flooded with companies that offer guided excursions for tourists, how's an upstart purveyor of city tours supposed to distinguish itself? In several words: by offering guided tours led by hot chicks who are jogging. In one word: tits.
Called Prettygirl City Tours, the company's website describes their MO thus-
...an active way to experience the Big Apple! Diligently-researched descriptions, friendly guides, and a stepped-up pace make this the most fun you've had on a tour.
-which sounds fairly innocuous, unless you're distracted by the company's logo: the silhouette of a thin, perky breasted, and beponytailed woman mid-stride in front of an Empire State Building backdrop. Clicking through further, the site begins to resemble a PG-rated version of the corner of the web where former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer found Ashley Dupree. You're given the chance to see photos of the pretty girls with whom you may want to go jogging and cute descriptions about how much they like cooking and other girl who wants to be Miss America type stuff— like how much they love "the Statue of Liberty and everything that it stands for."
There she is. Miss Ogyny.
On one hand, the women who staff Pretty Girl tours can't be faulted for seeing an opportunity to profit from a service that the market will support. Whether we like it or not, there is a segment of the population that would pay money to run with a combination geisha, Hooter's waitress, and personal trainer, and those people probably shouldn't be in charge of much money.
Urban Daddy decided to investigate Prettygirl City Tours by purchasing a tour of their own. And while they had a fine time on the tour, they had one complaint— their Prettygirl wasn't hot enough. The site writes,
If you go in expecting the perfect balance of Usain Bolt, National Lampoon's Vacation–era Christie Brinkley and a PhD in local history... you may be disappointed. But if you like the girl-next-door type, you'll be sufficiently motivated.
We're not sure which is more eye roll inducing— the fact that there's a market for this service in the first place or the fact that the reviewer was let down by the lack of hotness of a woman who was running and talking at the same time. No one looks hot when they run, unless you're Angelina Jolie and you're literally running toward a fan that blows hard enough to evaporate all of the sweat before it makes your head look greasy. And until she decides to rent herself out by the hour, maybe men should be satisfied bouncing around alongside their bros.

1. Can I really buy a casket online?
Yes! The process is simple: you choose the product type and any desired customization, and we will deliver to the funeral home of your choice. It is illegal for funeral homes to refuse you this right or charge you any additional delivery or handling fees. (Learn more about your rights)
If you prefer, we can also deliver your casket to a residential address (such as your home) or to a storage facility.
2. Why would I buy from Titan Casket instead of a funeral home?
At Titan Casket, we offer unbeatable prices and superior quality, selection, and service. Our selection typically offers a significant price saving (up to 85%) over buying from a funeral home. Our caskets are thoughtfully designed and we can accommodate custom orders.
Titan Casket also provides superior customer service. We are a small, independent operation and take great pride in assisting our clients throughout the funeral process. Your satisfaction and peace of mind are our top priorities.
To read our verified customer reviews, click here.
3. Are Titan Casket's products the same quality as what I would buy from a funeral home?
Yes; we guarantee that the caskets and coffins offered by Titan Casket are as good, if not better, than those sold by funeral homes.
We also supply our caskets and coffins to funeral homes throughout the country, a testament our quality and service.
The caskets and coffins offered by Titan Casket are comparable to Batesville Services Inc., and Matthews Casket Company Inc.
4. Do funeral homes allow me to supply my own casket?
The Funeral Rule as set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ensures that consumers have the right to provide a casket by their own means, without penalty. This means that:
- Buying a casket or coffin for sale online and arranging delivery to your selected Funeral Home for use in a Funeral Service is legal in all 50 States
- Funeral providers cannot refuse to use a casket or coffin you bought online, or put unreasonable or onerous restrictions on when it must be delivered or who must receive delivery
- You cannot be charged an additional fee if you supply the casket - federal law prohibits funeral directors from charging "casket-handling" or other fees for people who purchase their casket online
- You cannot be required to purchase any goods or services that are not required by law - funeral homes are allowed to charge one non-declinable "basic" fee, but only one, and this should be for basic or required goods and services
- The funeral home may not lie about or misrepresent funeral or cemetery laws, rules, or regulations - if you are told something is required by law, ask for a copy of the law
- Other kinds of misrepresentations, such as to the quality of caskets or coffins bought online, or the likelihood of damages in transit, are also illegal. Consumer protection laws in most states also prohibit such deceptive practices. State Licensing Boards in all 50 states have the right to (and do) discipline Funeral Directors for dishonesty and misrepresentation, and Federal law also prohibits dishonest, deceptive, and unfair acts and practices
We recommend requesting a "General Price List" from the funeral home and comparing those prices with ours.
IMPORTANT: If you are observing any violation of the Funeral Rule, please contact us. We help out clients fight for their federal rights. For more information on the Funeral Rule and how to file a claim in your state, click here.
5. Can I buy a casket now for pre-planning and have it delivered at the time of need (months, years later?)
Yes. You can buy a casket now to lock in the price, ensure your wishes are known, and have the casket delivered at the time of need. Click the pre-plan button any casket on Titan, and follow the checkout steps. We will send you a contract. You can learn more about pre-planning by reading our guide here.
6. Do I need to be at the funeral home to receive a casket?
While always a good idea, you do not have to be present at the funeral home for delivery. A funeral provider's refusal to use third party merchandise until the consumer has inspected it may place an unreasonable burden on consumer choice, in violation of Section 453.4(b)(1) of the FTC Funeral Rule. If you would like to be notified prior to delivery so you can be present, please contact us to set up a notification.
For residential deliveries, the carrier will call to schedule an appointment time and you must be present to accept delivery.
7. What size casket do I need?
Our standard size caskets are 24-inches wide interior, and fit most adults up to 6'10" and 300 pounds. HOWEVER, we strongly recommend you confirm sizing with your funeral director or other professional, who can help you determine the size of the casket your loved one will need.
Titan offers 28"- 44" exterior widths on most oversize caskets. To browse our oversize coffin selection, click here.
8. Does the casket I ordered have everything I need in it? Do I need to buy a pillow or throw separately?
All our caskets are delivered fully assembled and ready to receive your loved one. We include the necessary pillow, adjustable bed, and throw covers with each casket. You do not need to purchase anything else to prepare your loved one for their resting place.
9. What are Titan's shipping rates? (hint: it's free)
Titan Casket is proud to offer fast and free standard shipping.
Need it faster (or slower) or have a specific request (appointment delivery)? Please contact us and we can usually accommodate.

12 Jan 2002 Endangered Species Act Studies May be Hoaxes Designed to Restrict Human Use of Government Lands, by Gretchen Randall
BACKGROUND: Seven officials from the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife were found recently to have submitted falsified samples of Canadian lynx hair to labs as part of a study to determine if lynx live in three national forests in Washington state. The Washington Times subsequently reported (January 7) that a taxidermist in Washington state was approached by a state Fish and Wildlife official for a sample of grizzly bear hair to submit for a study on grizzly habitat.
TEN SECOND RESPONSE: What rural Americans have claimed for years is now becoming apparent-there is a concerted effort by some government officials to use any means available to restrict use and access to federal lands such as national forests.
THIRTY SECOND RESPONSE: All previous endangered species studies should be re-opened to determine if they also were falsified. In the meantime, there should be a temporary injunction issued against enforcing any judgments or decisions resulting from endangered species actions.
DISCUSSION: The Canadian lynx is on the threatened species list in 16 states but not yet listed as endangered. In 1999 the three services above began conducting tests to find if lynx exist in three national forests-Mount Baker/Snoqualmie National Forests, the Gifford Pinchot National Forest and the Wenatchee National Forest (all in Washington state). If lynx were found in these forests, restrictions could be imposed on logging, recreational uses such as snowmobiling, as well as on off-road and other vehicle usage.
Rep. James Hansen (R-Utah), chairman of the U.S. House Resources Committee, and Rep. Scott McInnis (R-Colorado), chairman of the U.S. House Forest Subcommittee have requested that the Government Accounting Office (GAO) investigate the incident. Rep. McInnis plans to hold hearings before the Forest subcommittee this spring.
Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) said: "If in fact it occurred, and there's clear evidence it did, people ought to be fired." The employees, however, said they submitted the false samples in order to test the laboratories. They have not yet been fired but have been removed from participating in the study.
The taxidermist in Washington who was asked by a state biologist for a grizzly hair sample in March 2001 did not comply with the request and has since reported the contact to state officials.

Hello all,
The Frisians are one of the minority peoples of Europe, Inhabiting the coast of the North Sea from the northern Netherlands to the southernmost tip of Denmark. The Frisian Language is linguistically the closest living language to English [except for Scots].
There are over 500,000 people today who still speak Frisian, but Frisian, like many minority languages consists of several local dialects which are not mutually intelligible. They are generally grouped into West Frisian, in the Netherlands, East Frisian, which survives only in one small enclave in the Saterland, and North Frisian, which is spoken on the coast and the islands of southern Jutland, and also includes Heligoland. Other people in the area maintain a Frisian identity while having lost the language.
Here is a closeup map of the North Frisian Islands.
The four main islands are Sylt [in German], or Söl [in Frisian]; Föhr or Feer, Amrum or Oomram, and Pellworm or Polweerm. Helgoland or deät Lun, is culturally and linguistically related to the North Frisian Islands, but is separated geographically, being found further out to sea. While Sylt and Helgoland each have their own distinct costumes, the rest of the islands and islets share basically the same costume, which started on Feer and Oomram and spread to the others. The islands of Rømø and Fanø each also have their own costumes, but are inhabited by Danes.
Here is a print by Albert Kretschmer showing three variants of this costume. This was published in 1887. In the center is a more everyday costume, on the right is the Sunday costume, and on the left is the Dress costume for special occasions; the last is the one most commonly seen today. The apron waistband is narrower today, otherwise, the costume is very similar.
When I searched for images online, there was some confusion as to which island the various images came from . I did find out from a video the difference between the costume of Foehr, just below, and the costume of Amrum, in the second image.
If you look at the semicircle of silver filigree buttons on the front, The Foehr costume has 12, while the Amrum costume has 8.
The image below shows a woman from Hallig Hooge, one of the 10 small islets in the area. Note that she has ten buttons.
Here is a video showing the Föhr costume being laid out by a woman who makes them.
The video is in German.
Here is a video from Amrum, showing the outer parts of the costume as worn today being put on. This is also in German.
The outfit as worn today only seems to go back a couple hundred years, and was heavily influenced by upper class costumes of Spain. The people of Frisia have always made their living as sea traders, sailors and fishermen. Even today the silver filigree jewelry is made in Portugal. Old drawings show a costume which is similar to that of Sylt. This costume is clearly that of an affluent society.
The base garment is a chemise, over which two petticoats likely are worn, one of red flannel, and one of white linen.
The skirt is black with a blue silk ribbon appliqued to the hem, full length and heavily gathered in back. It is connected to a bodice.
For everyday, it is likely that originally a linen overshirt was worn over the chemise and under the bodice/skirt.
Today this is no longer seen. This has been replaced by a jacket.
For going to market or Sunday dress, this may contrast with the skirt and bodice, the quality of the fabric being appropriate to the occasion. See also the print by Kretschmer above. This version below on the right is less commonly seen today.
For Sunday dress, the jacket is usually black. Two silver filigree buttons are pinned to each side of the bosom, and a shawl is wrapped around the shoulders or wrapped around the waist and tied in back.
Sometimes this shawl has embroidery on the point.
For the dressiest festive outfit, a semicircle of black cloth with large silver filigree buttons around the edge is pinned to the front.
A silk shawl is wrapped around the shoulders and gathered into place with many pins.
The shawl originally may have long silk fringes which the local women knotted themselves and then sewed to the bought shawl. Over the shawl is pinned a piece of jewelry that consists of three plates which are joined with chains, with other chains hanging below. There may be a religious medal hanging from the center, as in the image above, Or there may be three pendants as shown below; a cross, a heart and an anchor, the symbols of Faith, Charity, and Hope, respectively.
Today the fringes are often separate pieces, pinned onto the shawl. This woman looks like she has both kinds of fringe.
The apron is very long and full, and may be made of embroidered white linen, silk damask or brocade, or plain material with lace or ribbons sewn to it. If the apron is not of linen, it tends to be in a dark color.
The waistband wraps all the way around the waist, and is fastened at the rear with a brooch that matches the rest of the jewelry.
The 'ties' are wrapped around to the front center of the apron and secured with a pin, which allows the ends to hang freely.
Married women wear a red 'cap', which is embroidered with black beads and covers part of the hair under the shawl. Unusually, most of the hair remains uncovered.
Knit stockings and black leather shoes complete the ensemble, but these are rarely visible.
A few more images of this costume; This outfit has been much photographed.
Thank you for reading. I hope that you have found this to be interesting and informative.

U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday released a statement pushing back against the Obama administration's interference with medical marijuana laws in California and beyond. Her statement comes after medical marijuana advocates delivered a petition earlier that day calling on Pelosi to defend patients from ramped up federal enforcement measures. "I have strong concerns about the recent actions by the federal government that threaten the safe access of medicinal marijuana to alleviate the suffering of patients in California," said Pelosi, "and undermine a policy that has been in place under which the federal government did not pursue individuals whose actions complied with state laws providing for medicinal marijuana. Medical marijuana is currently legal in California and 15 other states, plus the District of Columbia, and during his campaign for president, Obama vowed to stop the raids on medical marijuana users that were prevalent under George W. Bush, saying raiding patients who use marijuana for medicinal purposes "makes no sense." Yet since October 2009, the Justice Department has conducted more than 170 aggressive SWAT-style raids in nine medical marijuana states, resulting in at least 61 federal indictments, according to data compiled by Americans for Safe Access, an advocacy group. Federal authorities have also seized property from landlords who rent space to growers, threatening them with prosecution, and authorities have even considered taking action against newspapers selling ad space to dispensaries. Pelosi joins a number of other political figures — among them Barney Frank, Ron Paul and Pat Robertson — who have advocated recently in favor of leaving the issue of medical marijuana to the states.
Her full statement reads:
Access to medicinal marijuana for individuals who are ill or enduring difficult and painful therapies is both a medical and a states' rights issue. Sixteen states, including our home state of California, and the District of Columbia have adopted medicinal marijuana laws — most by a vote of the people. I have strong concerns about the recent actions by the federal government that threaten the safe access of medicinal marijuana to alleviate the suffering of patients in California, and undermine a policy that has been in place under which the federal government did not pursue individuals whose actions complied with state laws providing for medicinal marijuana. Proven medicinal uses of marijuana include improving the quality of life for patients with cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, and other severe medical conditions. I am pleased to join organizations that support legal access to medicinal marijuana, including the American Nurses Association, the Lymphoma Foundation of America, and the AIDS Action Council. Medicinal marijuana alleviates some of the most debilitating symptoms of AIDS, including pain, wasting, and nausea. The opportunity to ease the suffering of people who are seriously ill or enduring difficult and painful therapies is an opportunity we must not ignore. For these reasons, I have long supported efforts in Congress to advocate federal policies that recognize the scientific evidence and clinical research demonstrating the medical benefits of medicinal marijuana, that respects the wishes of the states in providing relief to ill individuals, and that prevents the federal government from acting to harm the safe access of medicinal marijuana provided under state law. I will continue to strongly support those efforts.

I often hear Japanese males use the word お袋 in place of お母さん when annoyed or irritated. Is this word slang? How did this word come to mean 「お母さん」 and what are the circumstances it is used in?
I am also interested in why the word 「袋」is chosen to address the mother. What is the importance of this word?
