The gone-too-soon TV show Moonlight featured a vampire detective named Mick St. John — but in the novel which inspired the TV show, he was named Mick Angel. Trevor Munson's original novel's finally seeing print, and here's an exclusive excerpt.
The saga of Mick Angel, vampire detective, took a lot of strange turns on its way to the screen — according to Wikipedia, at one point it was going to be a movie starring Bruce Willis. And originally, the TV show was going to be called Twilight. The show's showrunner was originally David Greenwalt, co-creator of the Angel that we all know and love from the Buffyverse, until Greenwalt left due to ill health.
Munson told TheBuzzwire:
I liked vampires, and had long thought about writing a vampire story, but only wanted to do it if and when I had a fresh idea for one. After reading some Chandler and rereading Dracula back to back, I suddenly had the idea that it would be cool to create sort of hard-boiled, blood-sucking Phillip Marlowe. A guy who was a product of his time, but was now forced to make his way in a modern world he didn't really get. Once I had that idea, I knew I had to write it. I wrote a novel. Adapted that into a feature movie script. And then got paired up with Ron Koslow my co-creator for the show, and together we created the pilot for the show.
But Trevor Munson's novel was a much darker, more hard-boiled, look at a vampire detective than what finally made its way to the screen — and now, thanks to Titan Books, you can finally see what this vampiric detective saga could have been.
Here's an excerpt from the novel, which comes out February 1:
I go back to the car. I fix. I fire up the engine. I drive. Every store, every street that flashes past holds a memory for me of an earlier day, and as always, I find myself reconciling the landmarks of the ghost-of-L.A.-past with that of the present. The dry-ice inland fog that's come smoking in from the Pacific makes the town look all the more spectral.
I hang a right at Fairfax and head south. In the rearview, a set of constant headlights begins to make me wonder if maybe I'm being tailed. Feeling a nervous tightness form in my chest, I take the next left just to see. The headlights, which belong to an older-model Ford pickup, blow past without so much as a hiccup. My chest loosens. I shake my head and fire up a smoke. Maybe I'm getting paranoid in my old age, but if there's one thing I've learned over the years in this business it's that paranoia pays.
I U-turn and continue down Fairfax and pull into the small lot behind the big Canter's Delicatessen sign. I used to love Canter's back when I could still digest solid food. I would go and eat there after shows way back in the thirties when the deli was still located over in Boyle Heights. I got the pastrami sandwich every time. I liked theirs because it was so lean and rare. I guess I liked things bloody even then.
I get out. I go in, not in search of a pastrami sandwich, but a pay phone. It's bright and busy at this hour. The smell of greasy cooked food washes over me, making my delicate stomach roll uneasily. I swallow hard and make my way over to the phone. Times like this make me rethink my stubborn refusal to adopt a cellular.
I flip my notepad open, drop some change in the slot, and punch up Vin Prince's number. His assistant, a perky skirt by the name of Barbara, picks up. I give a fake name, something Jewish-sounding, and ask to talk with the boss-man, but she tells me he's incommunicado all night. I act all pissed off, telling Babs her boss and me were supposed to get together for drinks to discuss a picture I wrote. I tell her that I'm at the restaurant, that I don't like being stood up, and that if this is how Prince deals with writers I'll just take my script to the next production house down the block because the goddamn town's full of them. Babs gets all flustered-like and explains that Mr. Prince probably just forgot because of some big shindig he's throwing up at his house in the Hills tonight. I ask the address and she tells me before she can think the better of it. Then she asks my name again and I hang up because I can't remember what I told her. Doesn't matter. I found out what I wanted to know. These days this sort of thing is called social engineering. In my day we just called it bullshitting.
I scratch the address down in my pad, cradle the phone, and exit Canter's, leaving the smell of greasy food and my queasiness behind.
Fancy-schmancy is right. Prince's house is a sight to behold. From a parking spot thirty yards up the winding street at the top of Beachwood Canyon I smoke and take in the splendor of the vintage 1920s home. Nestled in under an oak tree canopy, the expansive Spanish tile roof rests on the tired shoulders of two-story bone-white stucco walls. I can tell at first glance it's too good for a Hollywood asshole like Prince. How do I know he's an asshole? Simple. He works in Hollywood.
From my vantage point I watch as a stream of waxed and gleaming Lexus, Limos, Benz, and Beamers pull up to the wrought-iron gate that surrounds the compound. Leaning out of their windows, evening-attired guests flash gilded invites at the guard who in turn presses a button, causing the automatic gate to Frankenstein-lurch open. Once in, the guests pull around the circular flagstone drive, which has been movie-lit to show their luxury automobiles off to best advantage. There, red-vested valets open their doors, and the guests spill out, moving like royalty along the ridiculous red carpet that runs like a tongue from the mouth of the house. Looks like I won't be getting in that-a-way. Sure, I could drive up and parlor trick my way in, but I can't stand the idea of letting those valets put their grubby paws on my gal. She deserves better. I'll have to look for a back entrance.
I make a firefly of my cigarette butt, exit the Roadster, and start along the twist of road back toward the house. When I reach the property, I duck into the California scrub along its perimeter. Set into the side of a steep Hollywood hill, the long rocky slope is slick as ball bearings on black ice beneath my patent leather shoe soles. I have to use the rough metal rungs of the ten-foot high fence just to keep from bobsledding down on my ass.
A deeper fog sleeps curled in the ravine at the base of the property. Through spaced wrought-iron bars and carefully landscaped foliage, I look back up graded hills to see partygoers mingling atop two large redwood decks that hang off the back of the house and around the illuminated pool and spa below. Jazz music dances in the waterlogged night air. It comes from the gazebo set to one side of the pool. Maybe I have misjudged the host. No one who appreciates jazz enough to hire a band can be all bad. I decide to go in and find out firsthand.
Times like this it would be nice if the stories about vampires being able to turn themselves into bats or mist were true. It would certainly make getting in and out of places a whole lot easier. It's all crap though. At least so far as I know. No one gives you an instruction manual when you get turned. But if that sort of thing is possible, I sure as hell don't know how to go about it.
On the other hand, it is true that vampires are exceedingly strong, a fact I think is only partially due to enhanced supernatural strength. From my experience, all of a vampire's senses are greatly heightened, except for one-touch. Dead, bloodless limbs simply cannot experience the same sensitivity to pressure. The result is a disquieting full-body numbness. On the bright side, less nerve endings mean a much higher pain threshold. Where living flesh would give up under the influence of severe pain, dead flesh won't. The less pain you feel, the more you are capable of enduring. The more you can endure, the stronger you are. So there you go.
I decide to get by on brawn. I grab hold of two wrought-iron rungs and pull. One breaks. The other bends. It's enough. I squeeze my gaunt frame through the gap, careful not to snag my best suit. Feeling tired and dizzy at the expended effort, I brush off and climb the tiered green banks of grass to join the party.
I step through coved French doors into a set-decorated room of another era. A better era. My era. Across the room, over the talking heads of the guests who mingle in the dramatic step-down living room, I see a turreted entryway and a spiral staircase leading up. Expensive prints-they can't be originals-cover the walls. Most of the furniture has been moved out of the living room, but I step down into it to get a better look at a tile fireplace with an interesting Mayan motif which is tucked back into one wall. My head swims. The Tropicana, Reesa, Canter's, and now this place. Everywhere I go tonight, I seem to find myself hunting ghosts.
Oblivious to the magic of the place, and the lesser for it, guests mingle and drink under the high barrel ceiling. So far as I can tell, they are a bland gumbo of Hollywood screenwriters, directors, producers, executives and semi-recognizable actors, each of them believing themselves vastly more interesting than they actually are by virtue of working in the movie biz. I shake my head. This is California. Where's a good earthquake or mudslide when you really need one?
I snare a flute of champagne from the tray of a passing cocktail waitress. Sipping it, I walk up to an aging, Botoxed actress who stands gazing sadly out of a nearby picture window on the distant city lights. I only recognize her because she happens to be the daughter of an actress I used to have a bit of a thing for. Her face poisoned into a death's-head grin, I smile, hoping my eyes don't reflect the horror I feel. She smiles back, but then she doesn't really have a choice.
"Loved your last movie," I lie, not because I didn't love it, but because I didn't see it. Though I'm sure I would have hated it if given the chance.
"Oh thank you, that's so nice of you to say." She takes my hand. We shake. "I still can't understand why it went straight to video."
"Well there's no accounting for taste in this town."
If possible, she smiles wider. Okay, enough bullshit. I decide to get to the point before she decides she wants to jump the bones of her last fan on the planet.
"Have you seen our host around anywhere?" I ask, this being my clever way of getting Vin Prince, who I've never seen, pointed out to me. I'm good like that.
"Oh yes, I just saw him. Let's see," she turns and looks over at the makeshift bar that has been set up on the ornate tile near the front door. "There he is at the bar."
I look along the curve of her French-manicured nail to see a guy in a tailored Armani suit hand a drink to a fake-boobed blonde twenty years his junior. I dislike him on sight, and not just because his tan is much too dark for the time of year and he wears sunglasses despite being indoors at night. He does his best to hide it, but I know his type immediately. All the money in the world can't scrub slime off a slug. It takes salt to do that.
"I should probably go say hi," I tell the succubus. "Pleasure talking to you."
"You too," she says, trying to be demure, trying to be her mother. "Why don't you come find me later so we can… get better acquainted."
"I'll do that," I lie.
She smiles as I walk away, but then she doesn't really have
a choice.
I obstacle course my way across the sunken living room, up the step, and over to the bar where Vin is busy eye-fucking the blonde behind his shades. As I move up behind him I see he stands an inch or two taller than my own six feet. I put my best shit-eater on and clap him on the back a little too hard.
"Vinnie, my man, how's tricks?" I say. I pegged him for the kind of guy who dislikes having his name man-handled and when he turns around I see from his face I was right.
"Vin. The name's Vin."
"Oh yeah, sure, right."
Vin slides the shades down his beak so as to get a better look at me. "I know you?"
"Sure you do. I'm at your party, aren't I?"
"That don't mean I know you. That don't mean shit," he says, and pushes his shades back up, hiding his eyes from my hypnotic gaze. For some reason the trick won't work through sunglasses. Sometimes even regular glasses or contacts screw with the works. Go figure.
"You know me," I assure him. "We go way back."
"Wait. Are you a writer?"
"A writer. A screenwriter I was supposed to meet or some shit like that?"
"Oh, you heard about that?"
"Heard about it? My goddamn assistant called half-shitting-her-panties-scared some homicidal screenwriter she gave my address to was on his way here to put his fountain pen in my eye. Wazzat you?"
"Well, yeah, but I think maybe she got the wrong impression. I'm not a writer. I'm a P.I."
"A what?"
"A private investigator. I've been hired to find Raya Van Cleef. I was hoping maybe you'd give me a few minutes of your time to tell me what you know."
"I don't know shit. How's that? It's just like I told the fuckin' cops-she was here, then she left, and I ain't talked to her since. There. Conversation over. Now hows-about you get outa my fuckin' house, seein' as you wasn't invited in the first fuckin' place?"
The smell of his lie fills my nose. "Be happy to. Right after you answer a couple of questions for me."
Vin's grin is an ugly thing to behold. "Here, walk with me over here a sec," he says to me.
Turning to the blonde, who looks like her brain automatically goes into screen-saver mode when no one's punching her keys, he says, "We'll be right back, baby. You stay here."
The blonde nods obediently and my new pal throws a knotty arm around my shoulder and guides me over to a more private location under a lighted Dali print.
"All right, I'm gonna give it to you straight, just so's we're real clear," he tells me.
"Oh good. I'd like that."
"I thought you would, so here it is. This is a big night for me. I got a lot of industry friends here. Important people-unlike you. And the last thing I want is for any of them to get the idea that I'm some kinda uncivilized brute because I had to beat the livin' Christ outa some investigator who crashed my fuckin' party. It wouldn't look good. It's not how things are done in Hollywood. It'd be almost as bad for my business as it would be for your face. You with me?"
"I'm with ya," I say.
"Good. Okay, so in an attempt to find an amenable resolution-a compromise if you will-here's my proposition. I'm gonna go upstairs and get a blowjob from that fine young piece a ass right over there. You can stick around, get a fresh drink, make nice, whatever. But when that drink's gone, you're gone. 'Cuz if I come back down here after my dick-suck and I still see you standin' here smellin' up the place, I'm gonna throw caution to the wind and fuck you all up regardless. Capiche?"
It's true what they say about a vampire being unable to turn or use his powers on a victim in their own home unless invited in. I don't know why it works that way, or who makes the rules, but that's how it is. I came uninvited, but Vin had just changed all that-"stick around" is all it takes. Now all bets are off.
"Sorry," I say, looking past the twin monster reflections that stare back at me from the tinted glass of his Ray-Bans. "I don't speak wop."
Vin's ugly grin goes on a starvation diet, getting thinner and whiter and uglier, like an anorexic chick. For a second I think he's going to swing at me, but to his credit, he maintains control. It takes everything he has, but he does it.
"I almost hope you're here when I come back. I really do," he says backing away and straightening his tie. "It might be worth it to have you here. But that's your call."
With this, he turns and goes back to the sex-bot blonde, who immediately comes out of sleeper mode and begins to purr and cling according to the dictates of her programming. I watch Vin guide her up the spiral staircase and disappear above.
I light a smoke, ignoring indignant stares from the health-conscious Hollywood set. A too-skinny brunette with wannabe actress written all over her takes notice and drifts over.
"That looks really good," she tells me. "You have an extra?"
I shake one out, light it for her.
"Thanks," she blows smoke. "I'm supposed to've quit. These things'll kill ya, y'know?"
"It's okay," I say. "I'm already dead."
She laughs. She thinks I'm joking. I let her keep thinking it.
"You're funny." There's nothing there for me so I just nod and smile.
"So what d'ya do for a living?"
"I salt slugs," I say, sizzling my own cigarette out in the last gulp of champagne at the bottom of my flute. "Excuse me."
I head upstairs. The hall is long and dark. Ornate Persian rugs hang from the walls. I try two oak doors, which open into empty bedrooms. Then I decide to see what's behind door number three.
What's behind it is a tastefully decorated room complete with a Juliet balcony, all-natural hardwood floors, an antique maple bureau, and a large four post canopy bed, where-true to his word-my new friend is playing bob-for-cock with the blonde. Both are so involved in what she's doing, they don't hear me come in.
I drift over to the bed where the dame, black cocktail dress in a flat-tire ring around her taut abs, kneels on the floor. I bend. I grab her by the elbow and pull. Her swollen lips come off Vin's small purple pecker with a slobbery-suctiony pop as I tug her to her feet and set her in motion.
"Let's go, doll. Me and Vinnie here need to talk."
"Hey," she says in protest, wiping at the drool that slimes her chin.
Behind the glasses, Vin's eyes snap open angry-like. "What the fuck?"
Seeing me there, a look of cagey fear crosses his face, but it doesn't last. Rage and humiliation set in and he lunges off the bed at me, his dick moving up and down like a tiny diving board.
"You motherfucker-"
What he says next is hard to decipher because I've stopped his forward momentum at arm's length by grabbing him around the throat and clamping tight on his windpipe, but it sounds something along the lines of "Aack."
"Go on, honey. Get dressed and get out."
"Vin? Are you okay, baby?"
"Aaack," he says again, which I assure her means that he's just fine and he'll be along shortly.
Pulling her dress up and down as needed, she backs from the room, politely closing the door behind her. When she's gone, I yank Vin close so his face is scant inches from mine. I pull off his sunglasses and break them with my free hand. "Now you're gonna answer those questions we talked about. Capiche?"
He nods enthusiastically, even throws in a couple of "Aacks" to show me just how committed he is to the idea. I let him go. He sags like a sack of shit onto the bed. He sucks for air, one hand going to his throat while the other tugs his lipstick-stained shirttail down over his now-limp dick.
"Where'd you learn to do that?" he asks hoarsely. Oddly, he seems a little impressed with me.
"Kindergarten. It was a tough neighborhood."
"Well it was really something. No shit."
"Glad you liked it."
"I gotta tell ya, you're a lot stronger than you look, guy. Hey, you ever think about being in a movie? Guy like you, with your kinda-what's the word-demeanor and physicality, you could do well. I even got a movie in mind."
"No thanks," I say. Most movies are crap these days anyway. I haven't really liked one since black-and-white went out of style.
"No thanks? Whaddya mean? You don't wanna be in a movie? Everyone wants to be in a movie."
"Not me."
"Well lemme tell you about it at least. This movie I've got comin' up, it's about this guy, an ex-special forces operative, real badass who loses his wife and kid-"
That's all I hear of the plot because I've gone back to choking him. "You're not listening, Vinnie. I don't want to be in your two-bit movie. What I do want is to ask you some questions and get some answers in return. And that's all I want. Get me?"
He nods. He gets me.
"All right. I'm gonna let you go, but if anything comes out of your mouth that's anything besides an answer to one of my questions I'm gonna choke you unconscious, bring you around, and start all over. We clear?"
More nods. I let him go. His bagpipe lungs wheeze out an ugly Scottish dirge.
"Whaddya wanna know?" He winces, realizing he has already fucked up, but I let it go.
"Raya. Where is she?"
"I don't know."
Smells like the truth, but it's hard to be sure. The problem with guys like Vin Prince is they lie so damn much there's a constant stink about them.
"Have you heard from her since she left?"
"Yeah. Once."
"Two-three weeks ago."
I wait for him to go on. He doesn't.
"What'd she want?"
"I don't remember."
I shake my head, disappointed-like, and make to start choking him again, but he flails backward onto the bed, hands held protectively to his throat.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell ya. I'll tell ya. She wanted-she wanted the number for my dealer."
He shrugs. "I gave it to her."
"You gave a fourteen year-old kid the number for your
meth dealer?"
"What am I, her daddy? I mean fuck, I was doing a whole lot worse than that by her age."
The mere mention of a fix reminds me that I haven't had one in a while. Alone in the quiet room with Vin, my hunger awakens like a colicky newborn. I find myself staring hard at the swollen, finger-reddened pulse in his neck. It has the same effect on me as that little old bell of Pavlov's.
"What are you lookin' at?"
If Vin hadn't invited me to stay downstairs, he'd have nothing to worry about, but he did. He did, and now I feel the change pushing for release from whatever dark place it resides in. It rushes over me. The sheer intensity is shocking. I try to tell myself that Vin Prince might be a slime-bag-is a slime-bag-but that's not enough to buy him a death sentence. I have rules. Without my rules I'm just another mindless animal, but it's no use. I'm too weak to resist it. Even reminding myself what a bad idea it would be, that the blonde has seen me and knows I'm up here, isn't enough to stop it. I want to change. I want to sink my fangs deep into his throat and drink him dry like a spider does a fly.
Then I think of Reesa. I think of her lovely face and the way she made me feel and the investigation I'm supposed to be conducting on her behalf and somehow, amazingly, unbelievably, I manage to pull back at the very brink. The pain of abortion is hollow and immense. With a sort of growl, I tear my gaze from Vin's throat and back away toward the door, not trusting myself to be any closer.
"Y-You okay, pal?"
"I'm fine."
"You sure? You looked a little-I dunno-crazy there for a second. No offense," Vin laughs. Not "Ha-ha" but "Oh fuck".
"I said I'm fine," I say, as I wipe beads of perspiration from my brow. I have to focus.
"The girl. Did she call your dealer?"
"I don't know. Don't know, don't fucking care. Fuck her and her skeezebag sister."
I want to tell him he shouldn't talk about a lady like that, but I'm afraid if I open my mouth now what might come out instead is a lot of sharp teeth and murder. I buy some time by focusing on my trembling hands and forcing them to take pad and pen from my pocket.
"Your dealer-what's his name?"
I try to sound in control of myself, but it's a bluff, and a piss-poor one at that. I need to get out of here quick. The hunger has receded, but it isn't gone. I feel it crouched back and coiled to pounce like a tiger lying in wait. Vin seems to sense it. He tells me what I want to know. "Leroy. Leroy Watkins.
Pressing much too hard, I scratch it down. "Give me
his number."
Vin gives it to me.
"You better not be jerking me around, Vin. You won't like it if I have to come back."
Time to go.
I leave Vin looking awfully pale for a guy with a year-round tan.

I changed it up a little and left off the onion and tomato and substitued some chunky salsa instead (kind of the same, but different). We grilled some of my favorite chicken tenders the night before, and I had these on the table in no time after work. I love sandwich night!!

When Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s Wii U arrives on store shelves this Sunday, prospective buyers will be faced with two choices: the $299.99 Basic Set and a $349.99 Deluxe Set.
This is a new tactic for Nintendo, which in previous generations has gone to great lengths to offer a single skew of living room hardware (differences in colour notwithstanding).
Now that consumers have a choice, they need to figure out which Wii U best suits their needs.
none. my opinion. its late to the party and trying to do what hd console have been doing already this gen.
I do not like neither because I'm being nitpicky on the colors. I would love a deluxe edition having a white color Wii U.
A hacked one, so I don't have to deal with Nintendo's BS when I import games.

China's Tencent Games is releasing a new MMO called Age of Guns. The game features a dual wielding hero that looks like he was plucked from the Japanese character design reject pile.
Much of the Age of Guns trailer looks familiar. Like stuff I could have sworn I've seen before back when this clip was called the DMC announcement trailer. But that's not the only thing Age of Guns swipes from...
Ninja Theory, the developer behind DMC, doesn't seem pleased and even pointed out the similarities on its Twitter page.
The trailers are in the above gallery. Judge for yourself.

They arent cutting off my circulation or anything like that but my big toe and index toe are completely up against the end of the boot and are being sightly squished to the point that im not sure if its normal or not. Are boots supposed to fit this snug or should i go a size up?

Some might ask why do I need to Blog? And who will read it? Concrete Blogs might not exactly attract a daily following or readership but there are more important reasons to Blog. There are also important ways to structure and write Blogs for your company.
For example: If you were to search " Polished concrete floors pflugerville" you would notice that the #2 Organic search result comes from a recent Blog we wrote and posted just a few days ago on Fri, 03/09/2012.
Blogs are a great way to publish relevant keyword rich short articles, stories, case studies or your latest project to the web. Well written blogs posted on the right websites can provide your company with valuable links, keyword search results and targeted traffic that can lead to new clients!
Here are 3 key things to remember when Blogging:
1. Consistency: Google wants to know that you are providing them with new, fresh content regularly. Don't start a blog then forget it. Keep a consistent posting going either daily, weekly or even monthly, commit to it and do it consistently.
2. Keyword Optimized: Don't over do it but keep your keywords in mind when Blogging. The title of the blog and the wording within the blog all play a part of how/where it will be displayed in the search engines. Try to keep each blog optimized for a specific term or topic otherwise the Blog will be diluted and may not pull any results.
3. Links: Within your Blog use the keywords within it to link to those areas on your website: eg: polished concrete should link your webpage on Polished Concrete information. They keyword links are much more powerful than links that link from words like "read more".
Blogs are the best way to achieve back links and can greatly impact your front page placement on the search engines.
Keep in mind if you don't like Blogging, or don't know how to get started, we can help. www.concreteidea.com and IDEAS media specialize in Blog Setup, Blogging, link building along with Social Media. We can help you achieve front page domination like we've done with many of your clients already. We work with Product Manufacturers and Contractors alike.

TASMANIA could become the first state to legalise gay marriage after the Premier, Lara Giddings, said the time had come to end discrimination against same-sex couples.
The legislation would be drafted to allow gay and lesbian couples from interstate to be married in Tasmania, something that Ms Giddings said would be an economic boon for the state.
She told the state Labor conference in Hobart yesterday that she would introduce the legislation by the end of the year.
''There will always be excuses, arguments and questions of timing when moving on difficult and controversial issues,'' Ms Giddings said.
''But just as we have responded to other forms of discrimination throughout history, there comes a time when no amount of excuses should stand in the way of doing what is right.''
The parliamentary Labor Party in Tasmania made the decision to have legislation drafted after obtaining advice from the Solicitor-General that said a state could introduce its own legislation. The states had the power to legislate on marriage until 1961 when the power became concurrent with that of the Commonwealth.
This means the states can legislate in areas not covered by the Commonwealth law, according to the legal advice of gay rights advocates.
In 2004, then prime minister John Howard amended the Marriage Act to define marriage as between a man and a woman.
This amendment would allow the states to argue that they have the power to legislate for same-sex marriage because it is not covered by Commonwealth law. A bill introducing gay marriage will be debated by Federal Parliament later this year but is widely expected to fail.
Ms Giddings said she was ''open'' to the idea of a conscience vote for Labor MPs. However, it is expected there would be enough support from Labor and Greens MPs for the bill to pass through the lower house.
A spokesman for the Tasmanian Gay and Lesbian Rights Group, Rodney Croome, said Tasmania was the logical state to take the lead because its Parliament was the first to enact a civil union scheme and the first to recognise overseas same-sex marriages. ''Ironically, the fact Tassie was the last state to decriminalise homosexuality in 1997 has led us directly to this point because the damage caused by prejudice and discrimination is still a recent and painful memory for many Tasmanians.''
The federal Attorney-General, Nicola Roxon, said: ''The government remains committed to a conscience vote on gay marriage.''
The NSW Attorney-General's office did not return calls.

pgauld necesitaba un nuevo diseño de papelería y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
I am seeking a very simple letterhead image with the words comprising the company name forming the image. Not too many frills here please. This can, and should, be very very simple. Understated.
Desired Color Scheme:
see main description
Desired Style:
see main description above
Accepted File Formats:
vector, gif, & see main description
I am attracted to the style where the words are placed in \"box\" or \"ribbon/banner\", with lines separating the groups of words. The company name is \"Legal Archiving & Document Technologies\". These words must be used, with the ampersand. For example, the word \"Legal\" could be in the top line/box, the words \"Archiving & Document\" in the second, and the \"Technologies\" in the third. The middle line might have a larger font to draw attention to the main activities of the company.
It should be very simple, elegant and solid. No frills, as this is support for the dry world of law. I don\'t really want any images/pictures, mainly the words of the company name encapsulated as described above. But the company is introducing some technology to the law, so just a very small design hint of this may be appropriate. Very small, sublte hint. I think a \"business\" blue background with white letters would be fine. I would also like a version in, say, a grey, so that I can place it in a word processor and print in on a mono laser printer. I have a basic example in Word format in the event that anyone wishes to see my basic idea. And a good no frills, solid professional font.
The file formats I am not sure of. But a vector image so that it can be scaled would be good, and and an image file that can be placed into a word processor, like Word. The images should be such that I can give to a printer if necessary to print professionally.

The 2,300-acre Macedonia Brook State Park, originated with a 1,552-acre gift from the White Memorial Foundation of Litchfield in 1918. The park's exciting terrain has resulted from the slow wearing down of its hard rock formation base. The Blue Trail crosses Cobble Mountain and several other peaks, offering outstanding views of the Catskills and Taconics. Numerous springs and streams add to the pleasure of hiking.
The land was once the domain of the Scatacook Indians, who derived their name from the nearby confluence of the Housatonic and Ten Mile Rivers. After Kent was settled in 1738, the Indians and settlers shared this area in comparative harmony. During the Revolutionary War, one hundred Scatacook volunteers operated a signal system along the peaks up the river valley. As the original Kent owners moved away or died, many of the woodland parcels west of the Housatonic were sold or left to a commercial and farming settlement called Macedonia.
Commercial activity in Macedonia included cider, grist, and saw mills in addition to a substantial iron producing industry. The local company store was a thriving business and bustling gathering place where teams constantly arrived and departed. The iron industry played an important role in early Connecticut history. Operating both in Kent and the village of Macedonia, the Kent Iron Company's iron furnace, two forges and a puddling works converted cast iron to malleable iron. Most of it was modified into a variety of implements, such as crowbars, wagon wheel rims, and agricultural instruments. Remains of the second forge, a stamping works, are still visible at the southern end of the park. Because these processes required vast amounts of charcoal, by 1848 all original timber had been used. Only at this time was a committee formed to prevent the waste of wood. Eventually, competition from larger Pennsylvania mines forced the Macedonia furnace to close in 1865. Many years later, the National Park Service established a Conservation Corps Camp at the park and much site improvement work was accomplished.

A 12-foot alligator kept a South Carolina couple practically hostage in their home for nearly five hours Saturday before it was captured and taken away.
Diana Andrews opened the front door of the Hilton Head Island home she shares with her husband, Arthur, around 5:30 a.m. Saturday to take the couple's Scottish Terrier for a walk. Instead, she found herself face-to-snout with an alligator.
"I was in bed and heard her open the door and then scream and then heard the door slam," Arthur Andrews told ABCNews.com. "I went running out and looked outside."
"The dog couldn't have been two feet from the gator's mouth when my wife grabbed him by his tail and pulled him back into the house, so she had to get that close too," he said.
The Andrews called the security officer of their gated community who arrived in his pickup truck and attempted to scare the gator back into the lagoon that neighbors the couple's home. When that only made the gator more agitated the guard told the Andrews they'd have to "Call the professionals."
For the next two hours the Andrews watched the gator from the safety of their front window, as he continued to "kind of case the house," according to Andrews, until "professionals" from Critters Management Inc. arrived.
Believing that Andrews' over-the-phone description of the gator as "about 10 feet" would be a typical situation, in which the gator is actually about two feet but the homeowner is scared, the company only sent one man, Joe Maffo, to chase the gator away.
"When he saw it, he said there was no way," Andrews recalled, adding that Maffo estimated the gator to weigh about 1,000 pounds.
Maffo first used a snare to try to coax the gator but when the gator snapped the steel cable he turned to a second approach, using both a snare and ropes to secure the gator to a nearby tree. He then left and came back to the couple's home with reinforcement - six additional colleagues - who taped and tied the gator's mouth and legs shut so they could remove the animal from the Andrews' lawn.
"It was five hours minimum from the time we saw him to the time they took him away," Andrews said.
Andrews believes the alligator was euthanized because its size and aggression prevented it from being released. A representative for Critter Management confirmed to ABCNews.com that the alligator was harvested by the company.
Andrews says he and his wife stocked up on flashlights for their early morning walks but things have otherwise returned to normal, sighting gators in their backyard, not at their front door.
"Things are back to the normal, calm Hilton Head lifestyle," Andrews said. "The gators were here before us and we just have to learn to live with them."
"But that was an awfully scary episode," he added.

Privacy, Libraries and the Law
An Infopeople Webinar
Presenter: Mary Minow
Privacy is an essential component to the freedom to read. When we know our behavior is observed, it changes. How do federal and state laws protect user privacy? What is the difference between anonymity and confidentiality? How can a local library policy add additional privacy protections for users? Does your privacy policy promise more than it can guarantee by law? This webcast will lay a foundation of relevant privacy law for libraries, and then discuss guidelines for developing or revising a library privacy policy.
This webcast would benefit library administrators, those responsible for library systems and in-charge librarians.
Webinars are free of charge and registration is only done on the day of the event on the WebEx server. No passwords are required.

Welcome to The Daniel Plan!
We are excited that you have committed to learning how to create a healthy lifestyle through the Daniel Plan: God's Prescription for Your Health. By learning to make healthy choices, you will feel better, and enjoy increased energy and confidence.
Here is your checklist to get started:
To begin your journey, we have provided you with tools and resources to create your personal wellness plan and to achieve the lasting results you've been longing for.
We are always better together!
The Daniel Plan Team
Confused about what you can eat on this plan? This week's checklist gives you the starting point.
Our bodies were made for movement. Here are a few ideas for adding more to your day:
Establish your starting point by measuring yourself in various ways, perhaps even taking a "before" photo. And start or join a small group!
But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king.
He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods.
Daniel 1:8
The Daniel Plan is as simple as "avoid what is bad; eat what is good for you." Here
are practical steps to changing your habits:
What activity did you choose last week? Time to get a move on. Plan a time and
place, maybe phone a friend, and get going!
In your quiet time, focus on what you want God to do in your life through The
Daniel Plan. What are you willing to give up in order to honor him with your body?
Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the
land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12
The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees
bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:11-12 (NIV)
Let's get started with a sensible meal plan and practical tips.
Stay on track with your favorite exercise. Better yet, work out with a buddy! Here
are some great additional ways to get the most from exercise.
Get in touch with how you're feeling and to interact with God as you begin The
Daniel Plan in a journal. Remember—He is with you always (Matthew 28:20)!
"I'll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age."
Matthew 28:20 (Msg)
Are you planning your meals and snacks yet? Your natural appetite and built-in
survival mechanism will sabotage your best efforts if you don't get out in front of it. Look
at these ideas:
Eating healthy foods and combining regular exercise will boost your health with a
one-two punch. Ask yourself, "How will I strengthen myself today?
Our thoughts and feelings can be deeply impacted by exercise. If you are
plagued by pain, or just want to feel better, we've got good news for you.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'
Mark 12:30 (NIV)
For better brainpower, try the foods on these lists. Print them out so you can add them to your grocery list:
Exercise is a natural stress reducer, and makes you feel better because it increases your brain's serotonin levels.
Your decisions about the way you eat, move and think are results of your brain
health. By improving your brain, you will make better decisions that will allow you to live
better and longer.
And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it.
To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. God
keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the
Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 (NLT)
Enjoy the adventure, and healing attributes, of discovering healthy foods that fit your lifestyle and budget.
Keep on keeping on! Set new goals that measure your frequency and/or intensity. Look ways to enhance and enjoy your activity. And, never give up!
Tough times will occur, but don't let them derail your healthy habits. Here are a
few ways to stay connected with the plan, reduce stress and stay motivated!
Then he said, "Don't be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for
understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in
Daniel 10:12 (NLT)

Tatarstä´tərz [key] or Tartarstär´tərz [key], Turkic-speaking peoples living primarily in Russia, Crimea, and Uzbekistan. They number about 10 million and are largely Sunni Muslims; there is also a large population of Crimean Tatar descent in Turkey. The name is derived from Tata or Dada, a Mongolian tribe that inhabited present NE Mongolia in the 5th cent. First used to describe the peoples that overran parts of Asia and Europe under Mongol leadership in the 13th cent., it was later extended to include almost any Asian nomadic invader. Before the 1920s Russians used the name Tatar to designate the Azerbaijani Turks and several tribes of the Caucasus.

text: Despite the country's big structural challenges, there are some reasons to be optimistic. By Steven Goldberg, Contributing Columnist February 21, 2013 On December 29, 1989, amid a gigantic bubble in virtually all Japanese assets, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index closed at a high of 38,916. By March 10, 2009, at the bottom of the global bear market in stocks, the index closed at 7,055 — a plunge of 82% from its peak.See Also: Playing a Dangerous Currency Game During that 20-year stretch and beyond, the Bank of Japan has made repeated efforts to stimulate the economy, as has the Diet, Japan's national legislature. But their efforts have been far too little to cure what ails Japan: The country has been mired in debt and has been suffering from deflation. Every five years or so, the Japanese stock market rallies and some analysts get bullish. So far, they've all been wrong. Most recently, a three-year rally in Japanese stocks was choked off in 2008 when the Bank of Japan failed to turn on its printing presses amid the global financial meltdown — and saw a soaring yen cripple its economy. Then, in 2011, an earthquake and tsunami and the resulting nuclear disaster temporarily derailed the economy. Advertisement Could this time be different? It could be, says Taizo Ishida, the Japanese-born lead manager of Matthews Japan Investor (symbol MJFOX). The new government has promised bold policies that should lead to a weaker yen, which Ishida considers crucial for Japan's revival. New Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is the main reason for being bullish. He promises precisely the weaker yen that Ishida views as so important. Much will depend on whom Abe appoints as head of the Bank of Japan, but Abe pledges to name a central banker who will adopt dramatic quantitative easing policies in the mold of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in the U.S. In addition, Abe is calling on the Diet to enact additional programs to stimulate the economy. So far, the markets believe. Abe was elected on December 26 in a landslide victory for his Liberal Democratic Party. From that day through February 18, the Nikkei index has gained 11.5%. The yen, meanwhile, has plunged. From requiring only 76 yen to buy $1, it now takes 94 yen to buy a buck. A weaker yen makes Japanese exports more competitive in the global economy. Japan faces huge problems that will almost certainly prevent it from regaining the position it held in the late 1980s. Government debt as a percentage of gross domestic product is 220%, compared with about 100% in the U.S. China's economy has grown exponentially over the past few decades, passing Japan's as the world's second-biggest economy. Japan is resource-poor. The nuclear catastrophe and subsequent decision to turn away from nuclear power only exacerbates that problem. Advertisement Longer term, Japan faces a demographic crisis that dwarfs those in Europe and the U.S. About 22% of Japan's population is over age 65 — a number expected to grow to 40% by 2050. "There's no way to get around the demographic challenge," says Campbell Gunn, who manages T. Rowe Price Japan (PRJPX). Unlike the U.S., the country has long discouraged immigration and has one of the lowest rates of women in the workplace in the developed world. Based on its price-earnings ratio, Japan's stock market looks pricey. The Nikkei index trades at 25 times earnings for the previous 12 months. Ishida says, however, that's because earnings are deeply depressed. A better way to determine value in the Japanese market is to compare price with book value (assets minus liabilities). The Nikkei trades at just 1.4 times book value. By contrast, Standard & Poor's 500-stock index trades at about two times book. In spite of all of its problems, Japan is one of the world's most technologically advanced countries and boasts some of the largest and strongest companies — particularly in autos and electronics. Advertisement Both the Matthews and T. Rowe Price funds are solid choices, though the Matthews fund has had slightly better returns since Ishida took over as lead manager five years ago. Over the past five years through Feb. 18, the Matthews fund has returned an annualized 0.7%, and the T. Rowe Price fund lost an annualized. 2.0%.Clearly, you'll need to put aside these weak returns if you intend to invest in Japan or in either of these funds. If you buy the bullish case, and it is intriguing, don't go overboard. I wouldn't put more than 5% of my stock money in Japan. And before you invest, check your broad-based international funds to see how much you already have in Japan. As for me, I'm going to let my diversified foreign funds nibble where they see value. I'm not ready to buy a Japan-only fund. Steven T. Goldberg is an investment adviser in the Washington, D.C. area.

Pre-fill where at all possible. If a person has already filled in a form for your organisation they will be frustrated if they have to fill in the same information again. It is difficult for organisations to get their systems to pre-fill known information but when pre-filling is achieved, customers really feel valued.
A light shade of a colour, like blue, across the whole background of a form relieves the eye from the harshness of a stark white background. And if the answer spaces people have to fill in are white, the tinted background both cues them in to where they write, and allows them to visually sense how much they have to fill in.

Marg Williams opened the meeting by welcoming Charlie Lowney to our club. She then initiated a discussion about the current
state of the club's finances. As our reserves for upcoming events is a little low, the consensus was to hold another fund
raiser of some sort before the March meeting. William Skeets will be looking into different types of fund raisers, and will
hold an informational meeting in two weeks (TBA).
Here we might include a list of links to previous meeting minutes, perhaps with a list of the agenda items covered in each.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Shawnee County Commissioners set the stage Monday for operational changes at Helen Hocker Theater.
With a packed chambers on hand to show their support for the program, commissioners voted unanimously to solicit proposals from outside entities to run Helen Hocker.
Commissioners said the move does not mean the county will cut off funding for the youth theater program, but supporters worried how the move will impact Helen Hocker's future.
Supporter Marge Heeney told commissioners cited the commitment of the program's dedicated staff. She says she has personally sponsored students and has seen their lives "enriched beyond anyone's imagination." Heeney says she has seen character changed and leadership developed.
Commissioner Ted Ensley said he has no doubts about the program's value. He says commissioners don't intend to damage it in any way. Commissioner Shelly Buhler agreed, pointing out the county contracts for many services, including mental health, social services and the Kansas Expocentre's management.
"Change can be positive," she said.
Parks and Rec believes outsourcing the program could save money in the wake of budget cuts.

On a bicycle built just for him, 28-year-old Rob Jones rode into the parking lot of Chapelgate Christian Academy in Marriottsville on Thursday to the cheers of the student body and the family and friends who came to see him.
The former Marine and double amputee, who was born in Columbia and raised in Virginia, is riding across the country to raise money for a trio of charities that help veterans like himself through their challenges — the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes, the Semper Fi Fund and Ride 2 Recovery.
Jones said he's pleased so far with his progress.
"I'm doing better than I expected," he said. "I felt I would be really, really tired. My butt isn't as sore as I thought it would be."
The ride started Oct. 14 in Bar Harbor, Maine, and Jones' plan is to cycle to Virginia, then head west for San Francisco, ending in San Diego. Along the way, he'll cover more than 5,400 miles over five to seven months. The goal, he said, is to raise $1 million. According to his website, robjonesjourney.com, he has raised more than $26,000 thus far.
"He is a true American hero," family friend Wayne Greisz said of Jones. "It's his way of life now … to pay back to the charities that helped him."
As a combat engineer with the Marine Corps Reserve, Jones completed a tour of Iraq in 2008, then was sent to Afghanistan in 2010. It was there, while clearing an area of improvised explosive devices, that he stepped on a buried IED and was severely wounded.
The injury resulted in the amputation of portions of both legs — essentially at the knees. According to his website, after receiving his initial treatment, Jones began his recovery and rehabilitation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
"His attitude got him through it. His positive attitude to get back up and out of there," said his father, Lenny Jones. "He was not going to let losing his legs keep him back."
After he was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps in December 2011, he moved to Florida to train for the 2012 London Paralympics in rowing. He won the bronze medal in the event. Using prosthetic limbs, he also trained by running and cycling during his recovery.
"He is such an inspiration to the staff and community," said David W. Walker, president and CEO of the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes. "I'm excited for him and all the people he is touching along the way. It is very heartening, and a great testimony to Rob and his selfless character."
Jones has already encountered many people on his journey, according to Steve Miller, 18, Jones' brother and the driver of the truck that follows him along his journey.
"I drive 5 miles per hour, 30 miles a day," Miller said with a smile. "Probably the biggest thing I learned was how nice everybody we've encountered wants to be. It's very refreshing."
Miller said he and Jones have been welcomed with dinners, free rooms and kindness. Miller is keeping a journal with all the business cards they have been receiving.
There have been some times on the road, Jones said, when a car passes him with an irritated driver blowing the horn, but for the most part it's been great, he said.
And he said the truck, with its two cots and sleeping bags, is OK, too.
On Thursday, after being greeted by Chapelgate students who swarmed his bike, Jones greeted family members who came to welcome him — cousins, his grandmother and his father, along with his father's former neighbors in Ellicott City.
Then he headed into the school, where he and his family were to have lunch before he spoke to the students.
"We are just proud and honored to support Rob in his mission," said Rob Van Ness, headmaster at Chapelgate. "We probably don't even know the energy he has to exert to do this. He's probably exhausted."

4.2 million-plus Americans chose health plans by March 1
SAN ANTONIO — Just 4.2 million-plus consumers nationwide had selected marketplace health insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act as of March 1, according to the latest enrollment numbers released today by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Officially, 4,242,325 consumers nationwide had selected health plans in the marketplace by that date. In Texas, 295,025 consumers had selected health plans through the marketplace as of March 1, the federal report shows.
The numbers reveal President Barack Obama's administration made only nominal progress in persuading Americans to purchase health insurance last month as the March 31 open enrollment deadline approaches. The number of shoppers nationwide who selected marketplace health plans increased by less than 1 million people during the month of February. In Texas, that number increased by little more than 87,000 people in February, today's report shows.
The Obama administration has generally aimed for a goal of 7 million Americans to be enrolled by the March 31 deadline.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and her staff will discuss the enrollment report in a conference call set for 3 p.m. CST today.

Happy Friday Everyone! Well I'm back with another super easy and cheap way to update plain white frames and get that expensive golden frame look. It cost all of $4.00. Yep that's right $4.00. You want to know the secret? Or perhaps the not so secret weapon if you've heard of this stuff before. It's a little miracle in a tube called Rub n' Buff. I was a little skeptical to try this I thought all the hype was too good to be true.
But I bought these frames a while ago from AC Moore on sale back when I did my Flowers and Paisley Art Tutorials. All this time I've felt like something was lacking with the white frames and white mats.
They were pretty but I wanted something different. So I thought about it for a while and decided to take the plunge with some Rub n' Buff. It was super simple and now I want to Rub n' Buff all kinds of things. Rub n' Buff comes in tons of colors but for this project I used Gold Leaf. It's basically liquid gold leaf and goes on like a dream and so much simpler than actual gold leafing which requires adhesive and messy gold flakes everywhere.
All you do is lay your frame out onto a protected surface because this stuff will stick to everything it touches. You can use your finger or a rag, squeeze some Rub n' Buff out and rub it all over the frame, let dry for about 10 minutes and buff to a shine. It's SOOO Simple!
The finish is gorgeous! It turned the plain white frames it golden beauties.
I love how my Floral and Paisley paintings just pop out at you now.
The white matt against the gold frame really highlights all of the colors in the painting and the best part is if you want a step-by-step tutorial on how to DIY your own version of these paintings check out part 1 of the tutorial here.

defect(redirected from acquired defect)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia.
Imperfection, flaw, or deficiency.
That which is subject to a defect is missing a requisite element and, therefore, is not legally binding. Defective Service of Process, for example, is service that does not comply with a procedural or jurisdictional requirement. A defective will is one that has not been properly drawn up, has been obtained by unlawful means, or does not comply with a particular law. In some cases, however, defects can be cured; for example, defective service of process can be cured by the service of an amended complaint.
In Product Liability, a defective product is one that cannot be used for the purposes intended or is made dangerous as a result of a flaw or imperfection. Such a defect might exist in the entire design of a product or in the production of a particular individual product. A latent defect is one that is not readily observable by the buyer of an item, whereas a patent defect is obvious or immediately apparent upon observation.
A fatal defect is one that, due to its serious nature, serves to nullify a contract.
n. an imperfection, quite often so great that the machinery or written document cannot be used. A car that will not run or has faulty brakes has a defect, and so does a deed in which a party who signed the deed to give over property did not have title to the property. There are also minor defects, like scratches that only lessen value, but do not make an object useless. (See: defective, defective title)

defectin the law of tort or delict, a defect exists if the safety of the product is not such as persons generally are entitled to expect. In terms of the Consumer Protection Act 1987, defect is further explained as involving an examination of all the circumstances, including: the manner in which, and purposes for which, the product has been marketed; its get-up; the use of any mark in relation to the product and any instructions for, or warnings with respect to, doing or refraining from doing anything with or in relation to the product; what might reasonably be expected to be done with or in relation to the product; and the time when the product was supplied by its producer to another. Even if a product is defective, that is not enough to establish liability, particularly in light of the defences available.
DEFECT. The want of something required by law.
2. It is a general rule that pleadings shall have these two requisites; 1. A matter sufficient in law. 2. That it be deduced and expressed according to the forms of law. The want of either of these is a defect.
3. Defects in matters of substance cannot be cured, because it does not appear that the plaintiff is entitled to recover; but when the defects are in matter of form, they are cured by a verdict in favor of the party who committed them. 3 Bouv.

Gamification, or the use of game elements in non-gaming contexts, is everywhere these days. But sometimes the most effective way of promoting charitable fundraising is to go directly through the game itself.
That seems to be the message in social game maker Zynga's announcement today that it has raised over $15 million with in-game "social impact campaigns." And Denver is the fourth most-giving city on its list.
The maker of the wildly popular Words With Friends and FarmVille video games raised the money through Zynga.org, its charitable arm, by launching 95 in-game campaigns that included "raising funds for disaster relief and a variety of charity organizations/causes, such as water.org and most recently, Toys for Tots," said Marissa Coughlin of the OutCast Agency, who works with Zynga's PR team.
So how does it work?

Census worker details encounter prior to fatal police shootingMonday, July 26th, 2010
Check out this news from the Appeal-Democrat about a California woman who was shot to death by police after some sort of incident with a Census Bureau employee:
By Rob Young
The fiance of a woman shot to death by Yuba City police is no longer charged with assaulting a U.S. Census Bureau worker.
The worker, Jeannette Sager, gave her deposition Wednesday in Sutter County Superior Court because she will be unable to attend an Aug. 27 preliminary hearing for the fiance, Lionel Craig Patterson, said Deputy District Attorney Cameron King.
Victoria Helen Roger-Vasselin was shot May 20 at her home in the 700 block of Mariner Loop after allegedly pointing a shotgun at police.
Patterson is still charged with assaulting officers with a gun, King said after the hearing.
Sager said Patterson answered the door at Roger-Vasselin's home, then slammed it, saying "We don't want any."
When she rang the bell again, Patterson answered and was more receptive when he realized she was a census worker. But then Roger-Vasselin, smelling strongly of alcohol, appeared behind him and told him not to talk, Sager said.
When Patterson told her it was a census worker, Roger-Vasselin said, "We're not doing that," Sager said.
Patterson seemed to become hostile again and said, "Yeah, we're not doing that," Sager said. Sager said she apologized for interrupting their evening, explained that it would take only a few minutes to answer the questions, and that she would be sent back later if the answers weren't provided.
Roger-Vasselin said, "Oh, really," and pointed a dark-colored gun at her, raising it to near-shoulder level. Patterson took her hand and raised it so the gun was no longer pointing at her, Sager said.
"I was looking at her face. I thought she looked smug," Sager said.
Sager said she backed away from the door, then ran. As she ran, Patterson yelled, "Do you think you want to come back now?" she said.
"It sounded like he was trying to provoke me in some way," she said.
Sager said she sat in her car and cried for a couple of minutes before calling her supervisor, then drove to her home a few minutes away. But she decided not to go inside because her mother was there and would be upset by what happened she said.
Instead, Sager said, she drove to the Yuba City Marshalls store, then to Target, but didn't go inside either store because her supervisors were calling.
A supervisor called police, who had Sager meet two officers at her house. The officers had her look at gun photos on the Internet to try and find one like the one Roger-Vasselin held. They said they were waiting for backup before going to Roger-Vasselin's house and that Sager might be needed for a "field line-up" if there were an arrest, Sager said.
About 11:30 p.m., two other officers came and said she was needed at the Police Department "because of the way things went down at the house. They didn't say what," Sager said.
Patterson's attorney, Jesse Santana, cross-examined Sager.
Sager told Santana it was still light when she arrived at Roger-Vasselin's house, although the front porch was dim. She was wearing a U.S. Census Bureau identification card on a lanyard around her neck and was carrying a bag labeled "U.S. Census" in 2-inch letters but wasn't sure if the label was showing, she said.

California Vital Records
This entry was originally written by Dwight A. Radford, Thelma Berkey Walsmith, and Nell Sachse Woodard for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Vital records in California have been kept by the state registrar of vital statistics since 1 July 1905. Earlier vital records are entered in the county where the event took place. Pre-1905 records in the counties may be quite slim. In Sacramento County, for example, only three births were entered for the period between 1858 and 1874, and only forty-three deaths between 1858 and 1864. Marriages, on the other hand, seem to have been recorded more regularly. Some court-ordered delayed birth certificates have been registered by the state registrar. For all vital records, contact the California Department of Health Services, Office of Vital Records, 304 'S' St., Sacramento, CA 95819 (Mailing address: P.O. Box 730241, Sacramento, CA 94244-0241) http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/CHS/Pages/default.aspx. There is no statewide index that includes the pre-1905 records held by counties; however, the Family History Library (FHL) in Salt Lake City has microfilm copies of many pre-1905 California county vital records.
The early California births kept by the state are indexed and online for selected years at www.ancestry.com at California Birth Index, 1905-1995, which also has the California Death Index online (1940'97). The California Department of Health Services has a CD-ROM index of births (1905'95) and deaths (1905'90), which is currently available at many libraries. However, because of changing California laws regarding the state's vital records, the availability of these may change in the future. The website www.vitalsearch-ca.com has indexes to California state vital records.
The FHL has microfilm copies of most California marriages kept by the counties. There is an ongoing project to provide a statewide index to these records on the Internet through the BYU-Idaho Family History Center in Rexburg, Idaho, as part of its Western States Historical Marriage Records database. It can be searched at http://abish.byui.edu/specialCollections/fhc/gbsearch.htm. Ancestry.com also has a marriage database for California at California Marriage Index, 1960-1985.
Divorce records are available in the office of the clerk of the superior court in the county in which the proceedings were conducted. Subscribers to Ancestry.com can search the California Divorce Index, 1966-1984.
There is also an index of California deaths at Ancestry.com. Subscribers can search this index at California Death Index, 1940-1997.
