After the Second World War, 131 war crimes trials were held in Singapore to address atrocities committed during the war. The Singapore War Crimes Trials Web Portal (the SGWCT Web Portal) aims to provide the public with one-stop access to the Singapore Trials and to serve as a platform for discussions on accountability, justice, and the rule of law.
It features comprehensive case summaries of these war crimes trials and links to relevant archival materials hosted by other websites. In doing so, the SGWCT Web Portal aims to inspire public interest in a crucial but under-explored aspect of Singapore's legal heritage. The Portal also aims to be a jumping off point for those seeking to learn more about the Singapore War Crimes Trials. The co-founders of the SGWCT Web Portal are Dr Cheah Wui Ling and Ms Ng Pei Yi. The Portal is kindly supported by funding from Singapore's National Heritage Board and the Singapore Academy of Law.
This sets out the historical and political background of the Singapore War Crimes Trials. It describes the post-WWII landscape in which the trials took place.
This section explains the legal framework and rules that regulated and applied in the Singapore War Crimes Trials.

AG's report says woman shot and killed by police had alcohol, drugs in her systemBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 25. 2013 9:53PM
CONCORD — The woman shot to death by a New Hampshire State Police trooper last month after a high speed chase from Interstate 89 in Hopkinton to a Manchester city street was legally drunk, with a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit, the state Attorney General's Office said.
Attorney General Joseph Foster announced Friday that Wendy Lawrence, 45, of Canterbury also had drugs in her system on Sept. 30 when she was shot and killed by a trooper near the intersection of Kennard Road and Dave Street in Manchester.
Foster had previously concluded that the shooting by Trooper Chad Lavoie was a justified use of deadly force.
The Attorney General's Office said Friday that testing on blood samples revealed Lawrence had a blood-alcohol level of 0.182. The legal limit in New Hampshire is 0.08. The tests also revealed the presence of marijuana and two prescription drugs, Oxycodone and Prozac, in Lawrence's blood.
Lawrence had prior history of three convictions for drunken driving, and 10 convictions for other crimes, according to court records. Her New Hampshire state driver's license had been suspended for being a habitual traffic offender.
During the chase, at speeds police said reached 80-90 mph, Lawrence was initially stopped by a state trooper on I-89, but took off, became involved in an accident on the highway, but sped off, again at a high rate of speed.
After an investigation, Foster concluded it was reasonable for Trooper Lavoie to believe Lawrence would have run him down had he not opened fire on her behind the wheel of the car. An autopsy showed she suffered four gunshot wounds, one of them fatal. Lawrence received a gunshot graze wound to the left jaw area and to one of her fingers on her left hand.
Citing Lawrence's criminal history, the Attorney General's Office concluded that she most likely knew she would go to prison on a conviction for driving after her license was revoked and had reason to flee, leading to the police chase that ended with her death.

North Country land buys called 'nails in Northern Pass coffin'By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 13. 2013 11:14PM
CONCORD - The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests has closed on conservation easements for three key parcels of North Country land, in what the organization called "three more nails in the Northern Pass coffin."
The closings on Wednesday for easements on more than 1,000 acres in Stewartstown were anticipated, since the forest society had previously announced purchase and sales agreements.
The society has been raising money since last summer in a "Trees Not Towers" campaign designed to block the path of the high-voltage transmission lines intended to deliver hydroelectric power from Quebec into the New England power grid, via New Hampshire.
The largest easement acquired on Wednesday was for 1,000 acres owned by dairy farmer Rod McAllaster, whose family has farmed the land for generations. McAllaster had previously told reporters that Northern Pass had offered him $4 million for the land near the Quebec border. According to tax stamps on record at the Coos County Registry of Deeds, the conservation easement was obtained by the forest society for $825,000.
"We announced in August that we intended to do this, and we started raising money," said Jack Savage, forest society spokesman. "In October we announced that we were close, and now it's done. So to whatever extent Northern Pass had any hope that we would fail to close these transactions, thus opening the door for them to again approach Mr. McAllaster, that's off the table."
On the same day, the forest society closed on conservation easements for 86 acres spanning two parcels of land owned by Lynne Placey of Stewartstown for $330,000. "That's an indication of how strategically placed her land is," said Savage. He explained that the easements were based on professional appraisals last summer that took into account what Northern Pass has paid for easements and acquisitions.
Northern Pass spokesman Mike Skelton said the Forest Society's actions were expected, and have not blocked the project.
"They've had no effect on our efforts to identify and propose a new route and that fact will be made clear when we release the details of our new proposal in the future," he said. "Northern Pass is excited to share the details of our new proposal soon, and we look forward to the comprehensive state and federal review process. If the project earns approval from those permitting bodies, Northern Pass will bring clean, low-cost power, hundreds of local jobs, and millions in new tax revenue to New Hampshire."
The company had been expected to announce a new route by the end of the year, and said it had one on Dec. 31, but since then has provided no details.
Savage said the land purchases and easements obtained by the forest society's so-called "blocking actions" have created an extremely steep hill for Northern Pass developers to climb.
"Is there still a way to potentially do it?" he said. "Perhaps, but they would need to abandon their intended route and the tens of millions of dollars they've already spent, to pursue some other overland way to do it, crossing hundreds of new property owners."

WASHINGTON – The Senate confirmed John Brennan as director of the Central Intelligence Agency on Thursday by a 63-34 vote. Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall, D-Colo., both voted for the 25-year agency veteran.
The confirmation comes just days after the White House agreed to release memos on the legal foundation for intended killings of Americans alleged to pose a terrorist threat – a move prompted by requests for more information from several senators on the Senate Intelligence Committee, including Udall.
"For the Senate Intelligence Committee to fulfill its oversight responsibilities, we need full access to the documents that outline the legal basis for the lethal targeting of American citizens. We need to understand what the administration believes the limits on its authorities are," Udall said in a news release. "After pushing the White House for more access, we have now gained the ability to review the administration's legal rationale."
Now, senators on the intelligence committee and committee staff members, will have continuous access to Office of the Legal Counsel opinions on targeted killings of Americans, according to Udall's office.
Previously, members of the committee were allowed to view two of four memos briefly about a month ago, but without the aid of their staffers, according to Udall spokesman Mike Saccone.
"That fight per se was not about Brennan in the micro-sense," Saccone said.
Rather, it was about "appropriate and vigorous" oversight of the executive branch by the legislative, he said.
"It's congressional oversight, and its transparency, and it's respecting the role that Congress plays," Saccone said.
The committee's 12-3 vote on Tuesday – Udall voted for Brennan by proxy, as he was out of town dealing with a family matter – moved Brennan's nomination to the Senate floor, where it was met by a filibuster.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., spent nearly 13 hours in a talking filibuster that ended after midnight on Thursday, blocking the Senate from voting on Brennan.
Paul said he wanted to know if U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder believed the president has the power to kill noncombatant Americans on U.S. soil with drones. Holder responded with a brief letter Thursday, saying the president does not have that authority.

State employees could see 6 percent over 2 years
By DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
CONCORD — A public policy expert believes the tentative pay raise for state employees will survive the final rounds of budget wrangling and be part of New Hampshire's spending plan for the next two years.
Charles Arlinghaus, president of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, said the collective bargaining agreements for a 6 percent increase over two years added a late challenge to the list budget writers already faced with deadlines looming Thursday, but he felt lawmakers would somehow find the money and avoid having to pull a deal reached through negotiations with four unions representing state employees.
"The catch is they have to pay for it," said Arlinghaus, who writes a weekly column on public policy for the Union Leader.
Leaders in the Democrat-controlled House and Republican-led Senate were snagged this week on how much revenue the state can realistically expect to come in during the two-year budget period.
"Any time you want to spend more, you have to get people to say yes. Positive action is always a little bit harder than doing less," Arlinghaus said. "I'm sure the House understands that the pay raise has to be paid for and the only realistic way to do that is to cut something else."
Arlinghaus said the raise would have some affect on pensions and the New Hampshire Retirement System, but only slightly because the raise itself is relatively modest at 6 percent.
The cost of the contract is estimated at $35 million over the two-year budget period. Of that, $17 million would come from general funds.
The preliminary agreement, which still needed approval from the unions' membership, calls for employees to take on deductibles for health care, starting at $500 for individual in 2014 and $750 the following year. The deductible for families would be $750 the first year and $1,000 in 2015.

The House gun ban: A body unsecured
To no one's surprise, the state House of Representatives voted 196-153 on Wednesday to reinstate the old ban on firearms on the House floor and in the gallery and anterooms. It was a statement two years in the making for the new Democratic majority. In their Constitution-waving opposition, some Republicans gave a reminder of why they found their way into the minority last November.
Many Republicans complained that a House rule forbidding firearms on the floor of the chamber and in the gallery and anterooms was a gross violation of the Second Amendment. It would serve self-appointed defenders of the Constitution well were they to make themselves more familiar with constitutional law.
Writing for the majority in the famous D.C. vs. Heller opinion in 2008, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia made perfectly clear that a) the Second Amendment protected the individual's God-given right to bear arms for self-protection, and b) that right was "not unlimited."
"From Blackstone through the 19th-century cases, commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose," Scalia wrote, adding "nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings."
There is a perfectly legitimate case to be made for removing arms from the immediate reach of legislators engaged in passionate political debate as well as from witnesses (who sometimes become passionate participants) in the gallery. Doing so in no way violates the Second Amendment. Overplaying their hand while refusing to compromise is the kind of behavior that so many voters found distasteful in so many House Republicans in the past two years.
However, disarming legislators and gallery visitors without providing armed security personnel to protect them from the entirely predictable possibility that some lunatic decides to martyr or avenge himself in the House chamber is foolhardy. We have armed guards in courthouses for similar reasons. Pretending that a House rule will prevent such a happening in the State House is to endanger everyone who enters that building.

As Northwest farms continue to expand their direct sales strategies, hospitals have joined the ranks of schools, universities and corporate campuses as large institutional buyers looking for local products.
"Hospitals are an exciting new market for farms," says Lucy Norris, director of marketing for Northwest Agricultural Business Center. "It makes perfect sense that hospitals would want to serve healthy, delicious and clean food to their patients, employees and visitors. Increasing local food procurement and working directly with farms can be an important way for hospitals to demonstrate their commitment to sustaining a healthy environment, the health of their patients and community and the economic viability of sustainable farms."
Hospitals in Washington's King County, which includes Seattle, Bellevue and many neighboring cities, spend an estimated $30 million a year on food and beverages. Nationwide, hospitals are estimated to spend $12 billion per year on food and beverages. The vast majority of their budgets are spent with large distributors, but hospitals are seeking out relationships with local farms they can highlight in their cafeterias, patient meals and catering.
Susan Soltes and her husband purchased Bow Hill Blueberries — the oldest blueberry farm in Washington's Skagit Valley — in 2011, and began the three-year process of organic certification. They wanted to diversify their sales beyond farmers' markets, U-pick and their farm store, and are now selling fresh and frozen blueberries to the University of Washington Medical Center, Overlake Hospital, Swedish Medical Center and United General Hospital.
"We're extremely proud to be served at major hospitals, at the forefront of healing," says Soltes. Her relationships with the chefs, purchasers and foodservice directors at these hospitals, and her availability through Northwest Agricultural Business Center's online food hub, have helped her increase sales in other sectors. "The hospitals have really opened doors for us to supply other prestigious institutions like Google, Microsoft, Amazon and the Seahawks."
Thirty-three of Washington's 97 hospitals have signed the Healthy Food in Health Care Pledge, an institutional commitment to serve healthy, local and sustainable foods. Launched by the international non-profit Health Care Without Harm in 2005, the Healthy Food in Health Care Pledge attempts to harness the purchasing power and political voice of the healthcare sector to build markets and create policies that support sustainable regional and national food and farming systems. Buying locally grown foods can be one of the most emotionally rewarding aspects of fulfilling their pledge.
"Our mission is to improve the health of staff, patients and community," says Charles Zielinski, director of food and nutrition at University of Washington Medical Center. "Structuring the food department goals and objectives to parallel the strategic plan of the medical center is always a fundamental objective of the food and nutrition department, so this was a key point in the formulation of our health and wellness strategy."
What types of foods are hospitals looking for?
"We need mainstream fruits and vegetables and sustainable meats that will appeal to large masses," says Zielinski. "We need the farmers to pay attention to any way they can provide value-added type services, such as clean and bacteria-free product, HACCP programs in place and the ability to provide us with enough volume on a consistent basis." HACCP is the acronym for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points and refers to maintaining food safety through analyzing and controlling biological, chemical and physical hazards in food as it is handled and processed, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Swedish Health Services' executive chef Eric Eisenberg agrees. "When we're planning a menu, we're not looking into a crystal ball about what's going to be available. I need to know what's going to be available a month from now." Staff training has also been an issue. "In a big organization with a lot of people, I'm not cooking all the food." Eisenberg looks for local products his staff is familiar with, and will know how to prepare.
Smaller rural hospitals tend to have more flexibility with their menus, and may be a good fit for smaller farms looking for a direct sales relationship. On the Olympic Peninsula, Jefferson Healthcare makes it a point to source organic produce, grains, pork and grass-fed beef from local farms. The hospital's foundation has even taken the unusual step of offering small loans to new farmers in the winter and spring in exchange for farm credit in the summer and fall.
Hospitals are increasingly concerned with an increase in antibiotic-resistant infections in humans, and have begun seeking out meat and poultry products raised without non-therapeutic antibiotics. "With all the recent documentation about antibiotic use and how it is hurting the effectiveness of antibiotics for patient recovery, we are working on a proposal to only serve antibiotic-free poultry and pork," says Zielinski. "Before we can move forward with this, we need to validate that the new products being considered meet the antibiotic-free criteria. We need more producers of antibiotic-free pork and poultry."
In the end, successful farm to hospital sales are created like most successful business ventures: a good relationship and a strong product. Zielinski says. "We will form a partnership with the right farmer and right product to create a win-win situation for both parties."

Nah, I got a "bag of manure" as a promo listing for the new Tools Woot. Nice bag, the rest was crap, lol.
Anyway, wanted to throw my $0.02 in... I hit the button on a wine deal, saw the cart and didn't pay much attention (it's early). After clicking through and getting confirmation... I remembered something else I wanted. No "you've unlocked free shipping". No sale.
So, a direct loss of sale due to a bad roll-out. No real warning of the change. I bet I'm not getting the chance, but I'd love to see what effect this has on sales.
Woot used to be fun and exciting; you never knew what surprises you might find. Now, it's like going to Sam's Club (no, not Costco). You get lost in the aisles of crap.
confusedemmy wrote: So, a direct loss of sale due to a bad roll-out. No real warning of the change. I bet I'm not getting the chance, but I'd love to see what effect this has on sales.
I was thinking this same thing yesterday...what a lot of the frustration comes down to is really due to a "bad rollout" on Woot's part of their new program. Consider: if they had introduced the cart ALONG WITH notification of the proposed changes, but gave buyers say, 3 to 7 days to get ready for it, I wonder how much grief Woot be getting right now...I mean, had they debuted the "cart" part while maintaining free shipping for the interim days — while continually having a pop-up window letting buyers know the changes that were coming — folks would have been prepared and more accepting of the change.
Unfortunately, bean-counters and corporate execs don't always understand the value of good marketing and PR. So rather than roll it out in stages — the way a good PR pro would have recommended — they just jammed it down everyone's throats...with the expected backlash.
Will folks get over it? Of course. Just look at today's sales maps. But that's not the point. there's a right way and a wrong way to do things. This was a textbook example of the "take it or leave it" wrong way.
A great idea whose time has come..................years ago actually!
I didn't realize that this change was being implemented. Made a purchase and then when I went to make a second purchase, surprise another $5 shipping charge. This is a lousy way to make a change. Some advance warning should have been given. However, this change will save me money in the long run because I will be purchasing less.

What part about WOOT DOES NOT CARE does no one realize? Yes they did this on purpose to get all the new 5$ shipping charges they could. No does a shady release like this - no one - not even Microsoft has pulled this type of scheme.
But again it is what it is - if woot sales drop due to this - I promise you'll get it back - if they don't I promise you'll only see the shipping charges get worse - this is a business after all - their goal is not to make friends it's to make money and that is fine.
By the way the best way for everyone to handle this is to make sure you visit Woot DAILY. Click on every woot plus and woot page you can. We want their traffic to be higher than ever - but do not buy anything - then sit back and watch. Again its important for their traffic on the site to be high but sales low. Don't want them to be able to think it's any other variable than crap shipping charges.
The $5 shipping was a unique concept that made shopping at woot a unique experience. There were wrinkles, there were ways to play the game to get the most out of it. And now it's gone; it makes me sad.
I have to say this is a terrible change, I loved the 5$ dollar all you can ship for a day as I frequently ship to multiple addresses, all this is going to do is keep me from watching woot-offs and buying gifts for friends. It was nice knowing you woot!
And we're done. Woot, as evidenced by it's continued "growth" and subservience to an e-commerce power player, wants to be part of the zeitgeist, not an indie player bucking the odds and the conventional wisdom.
E-commerce free thinkers, it's time to move on and find a new place on which to lavish our devotion and money.
burmeses wrote:I don't care if you have the shopping cart or not; I WANT THE $5 ALLDAY SHIPPING
Same here. I think this is pretty much the end of me buying tons of stuff. : (
When the wise wooters have caused a drop in sales due to the loss of the unlocked free shipping, Woot consider this suggestion:
1st order: full $5 shipping charge
2nd-4 order: unlocked $2 shipping on additional orders
5+ orders: $0.50 shipping on additional orders
∞ orders (everything offered today on all woot sites): $0 shipping and 15% discount of of shopping cart total
the above suggestions should operate during a standard 24 hour woot day, or the full term of a wootoff.
Same here. I bought the second item anyway, figuring it was a mistake. I won't be staying up until 1 am to check the new items. And I will stay away from woot offs, because shipping would cost a fortune.
I don't buy as much or comment as much as some of you other wooters, but I need to let this be known.
I do not like the change to remove $5 all day shipping.
Like others have said before, I will miss unlocking free shipping. Though my real question is: "Woot, why, oh why, did you ever let me see the total of my purchases?" Woot is all about the impulse buys for me so I just can't wrap my head around this.
My days full of woots went something like: "That's a good deal!" *BUY* "Oh, I need that!" *BUY* "Another good deal!" *BUY* Last week that would have been the end of it. But now I see I'm about to spend over $100 and I'm looking to see what I can remove from my cart. Woot, all of this money could have been yours if I bought these things separately!
I know I should be better with my money but I can justify multiple tiny purchases to myself (not to mention my husband won't look twice at them on the statement) even if they do add up. But sorry, the lump sum can't get past my cheap brain. (Why else would QVC tell me "5 easy payments of $9.99"?) Yes, I could drop that much at the brick and mortar store but at least I would have the instant gratification of the items.
Woot was all about the speed! Now I have too much time to think about my purchases. Dangerous indeed!
This change will make me feel better about ignoring Woot more than I had in the past. No reason to continue searching for other Woot sites or 'Plus' deals for free shipping after I had already ordered something.
Woot took the easy way out here and should have thought of the impact on it's customers psyche and purchase patterns more. Combining shipments can be a good thing, even if they are a bit delayed, but making me decide on all I want at one time to do so is asking too much.
Think outside the box Woot - you started off with a revolution in marketing and are moving toward merging with all the other sites out there.
I am sorry to see it happen.
P.S. I'm still waiting for a purple skin so the site can look back the way I remember it...

I think this sums up the majority of the comments here...I never missed not having a cart on Woot, and if losing $5 all day shipping is the cost of having a cart added then please take it away!
I, like so many Wooters, buy on impulse after I'd "unlocked" free shipping...Now, all orders will be thought out and Wootoffs will be my time to avoid Woot instead of cling to it.
In the past years I have been a wooter, I have, on multiple occasions, purchased things from woot! because I had already unlocked free shipping.
I know you don't care, but it sucks. I can order from Amazon directly, with my student prime, get it in 2 days and shipped free. And return it if it is wrong.
298 purchases. Later woot. I can get shirts, but other stuff just isn't worth it.
Its been.
My comments are even simpler. I'm very sad because they have sucked all the fun out of Woot. The woot-offs, the happy thoughts of getting 2 or 3 cheap fun items "just because I already have free shipping", the discussions and comments. It's all going to be gone. Woot was fun, it was not about the actual stuff it was about the unique experience that made it different than every other online shopping site. I even liked the "stupidly large button" and while I did complain a bit about the multiple boxes, it certainly isn't worth the trade off. I am honestly emotional about this change, it sucks and I feel like a little bit of joy has been sucked out of my day (my life even). It's like Firefly all over again..."sniff".
Works for me, I like the one cart checkout.
My suggestion for the Woot Off issue would be to have a Free Ship coupon code pop up with each order made during the Woot Off. You'd pay shipping for item one and as long as you remembered to use it free shipping for any other items purchased that day. On the plus for your company most people forget to use coupons so you'd still make money on shipping from those folks while making a lot of the complainers (like myself) who are annoyed about paying extra shipping during Woot Offs happy!
If you don't Woot Offs are going to suck. Adding $5 to ever item ordered means I should have just bought it the first time around since it's usually not THAT much more off for most things .... If I wasn't willing to buy it before a few dollars cheaper but extra shipping won't make me want it anymore!
I've been a Wooter for a very long time. First the famous "Basket of Cairn Terrier #39;s" (that I never won) disappeared. Then more and more sites (that all sell the same things even though they have specialties), now we pay sales tax and multiple shipping fees on woot offs. I think this is the end of a long term relationship. More money in my pocket and free time I guess. I really miss the simple Woot days. Ciao.
"Goodbye multiple Woot-Off purchases, goodbye cross-platform impulse buys throughout the same day. You just crippled yourself, Woot!"
-- I Agree with this succinct summation, and also with so many other posts and points above.
I won't spend time shopping here to check out possible add-on deals.
And because I rarely buy the "new" shirts anymore . . .
. . . I am no longer enticed to shop here regularly, if at all.
Like most others, I am not happy about the new $5 per order shipping charge. I could care less that I had to click through the checkout process for each item I bought. It was not an inconvenience at all. I feel like woot was either losing money on shipping costs, or is looking to make more money, so they created something that they can say is an advantage to the consumer (the cart), buuuuuuut at the same time shipping is charged for each order. As far as I'm concerned Woot didn't solve any issues for me, but they did create a reason for me NOT to buy something due to the $5 shipping cost. Sometimes the only thing which makes a deal is the fact that you get free shipping.
It's already been said 1000's of times...but the ONLY advantage of a woot off was the free shipping all day. You use the same prices on woot offs you do regular woots (for the vast vast majority of items), so what's the point, other than "mmissing" the item, but these days it's extremely rare to see any sort of sell out of an item, so where's the point for you?
I know the mantra "change is good", but not every change is good for your customers. This is just another of a long line of changes that is bad for woot customers.
I'll still look, and still buy when I find something I want (rarely need anything from woot), but all you've done is make those purchases fewer and farther between.
Your biz, your choice though...

Ditto. This pretty much killed woot-offs for me, especially when shopping for wines and other higher cost stuff. I will now be more cautious about hitting the I Want One button, and that will mean fewer things bought in that environment.

Yup - same here. Actually, I've just been kidding myself since the Basket of Cairn Terrier went away... the party's over.
I would say farewell, WOOT! but WOOT! has left the building...
For some reasons, companies make a lot of money byoffering a great service, then somebody convinces them that they can make more money if they get greedy.
I have been active with Woot! for a long time (over 180 purchases). I have introduced many others. I also love Amazon, so I wasn't concerned, but I guess I was wrong. This change is pure greed.
I have been checking Woot every day for years, but this has convinced me that it is a waste of time. All I can pray for is that somebody eventually gets fired over this.
Since the "Big A" is now running the "little w" business, how about extending Prime's free 2-day ship to purchases here... eh?
So probably no more of these http://sellout.woot.com/plus/now-that-you-have-unlocked-free-shipping. Woot will need a few extra bucks for the write ups on the misc categories.
Oh, I was going to add this, too: The rollout could have been publicized a bit more. It's easy to not read the daily emails too closely, so a big banner across the top instead of Guy Fieri knives might have been good for such a major change.

No, it literally happened during the Christmas woot-off. ;_;
Free shipping, I shall miss thee.
Pretty disappointing. This really sways me away from the Woot Plus offers and Woot Offs.
But can't say I'm really shocked, seems like every few months the website changes for the worse.
Woot used to be great and a lot of fun. Then it went the Amazon way... and became more of the same things offered (Amazon left overs I call it). Now the shipping change. I doubt it will affect me much but I don't like it. I have bought less since the Amazon take over.
It will suck for woot off's big time. I spend my money on wine and that was where I really saved.
An email notification would have been awesome.
ThunderThighs wrote:Correct. The only midnight deadline now is the sale ending. Once the sale ends, you can no longer buy it, even if it's in your cart.
Important thing to remember is that the item is not reserved for you. It's only yours when we get our money - when you've completed the transaction.
As far as the woot-off, we know this is a change. The $5 all day shipping was always stated to be a temporary thing. We did that to make up for the fact that we didn't have a cart.
You could shop the Plus events first and have them in your cart while shopping the woot-off. Then buy when you find something you want. Just watch that the items in the Plus event don't go out of stock if you have your heart set on them.
The other advantage now is that you should see fewer boxes when ordering multiple items (if they'll fit in the same box and they're coming from the same warehouse).
Fewer boxes...right. A few weeks ago I ordered 2 items 3 of each. One order, 2/3 was shipped one day before the other 1/3. The second order, all three were shipped at the same time/place but in three different boxes. It didn't make sense but well ok.
So now we spend more on shipping again, while AmaWoot saves money by being able to package more items into less boxes.
What I really want to say not only won't make it through the filter, but simply wouldn't be nice. My woot purchases have already dwindled since the sellout to Amazon, I now see them becoming even further and fewer between...
ugh. this kind of blows. I love to buy multiple things, and I tend to by more once i unlock free shipping. Now, I will consider my purchases much more because I hate to spend money on shipping. I know I definitely spent more with the $5 all day shipping. I know I will spend (a lot) less now. I guess it's good for my wallet.
whatsamattaU wrote:Let me try one scenario. I buy stuff off of any of the woot plus sites or moofi that hasn't hit the deadline at midnight central, and the multiple items are in the cart. Midnight hits, I see one more new item I want to buy. I throw that in the cart, and I then submit the whole cart/order, and the shipping is $5, right???
This strategy leaves you at risk of losing popular items that sellout during the day.

Actually woot! (Amazon) wins.
jmalone wrote:I have some ideas that could take the sting of this away for us frequent wooters. First, free shipping coupons! I used to get $5 coupons pretty frequently from woot!, but I haven't seen any since the redesign. A small act of goodwill would go a long way for those of us who feel as though we are being fastened by an inclined plane attached helically to a conical surface.
Second, maybe some sort of paid membership program for PRIMEary woot users who purchase frequently and would appreciate free or hastened shipping might be a good idea. I certainly purchase more than the, say ~16 orders a year, that would be needed to break even by avoiding a $5 shipping charge on each order. Maybe there is even some sort of online shopping monolith that Woot! could look to for inspiration, affiliation, or dare I say partnership in such a venture...
Are you thinking of Amazon since woot! is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon?

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Levasseur comes out swinging with lawsuit against cityBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 01. 2014 10:53PM
ONE MIGHT have thought that after being formally censured by his colleagues a couple of weeks ago, Alderman-at-Large Joe Kelly Levasseur would assume a lower profile, at least for a little while.
On Tuesday, Levasseur announced that he was filing a lawsuit against the city of Manchester and radio host Rich Girard, who has become his most public nemesis of late. The suit, filed in Hillsborough County Superior Court, seeks to block the release of materials sought by Girard through right-to-know requests. Those materials include emails between the alderman and constituents, records Levasseur argues should stay private. He also argues Girard should compensate the city for the time it took to furnish the materials.
One can question Levasseur's motivation in bringing the suit, but he may end up raising a valid issue - one that will be getting more attention from the aldermen in the coming weeks.
Freshman Ward 10 Alderman Bill Barry has been meeting with department heads and will be sitting down with the city clerk and solicitor this week to discuss ideas for a uniform policy for how the city responds to right-to-know requests. Barry expects to have something to present to the Administration Committee later this month.
"I've spoken to a few department heads about how they handle right-to-know requests, and everyone seems to be doing it differently," Barry said. "I wanted to make sure everyone's protected and that everyone's on the same page when it comes to the requests. This is in no way to block information, because I truly believe in right-to-know."
Barry also questioned whether a constituent's correspondence with his or her alderman should be considered governmental records, which has been the position of the City Solicitor's Office.
"Doing police work, you sometimes develop confidential informants," Barry said. "As aldermen, some of the information we get, there's no doubt in my mind, they don't want their name (released)."
There's also the issue of cost. Barry noted, as does Levasseur's suit, that the city's Information Systems Department devoted 40 hours to complying with requests related to Levasseur's emails.
Of course, Barry isn't a completely disinterested party in all of this. One of Girard's right-to-know requests concerns communications Levasseur had with critics of the Manchester Dog Park Association, which was founded and is run by Phil Greazzo, whom Barry defeated in November. Greazzo has accused Levasseur of siding with the dog park critics, along with a host of other misdeeds. More on this later.
- - - - - - -
In his suit, Levasseur accuses Girard of sending the city on a fishing expedition that netted "over 11,000 pages of emails containing Alderman Levasseur's name or email address." Girard insists that he made two very specific requests. And, as it turns out, the first of them originated with a request from, of all people, Levasseur himself.
Girard's first right-to-know request was a "me, too"; he wanted records produced for another New Hampshire Union Leader reporter. And the reporter's request was meant to "duplicate" a request Levasseur made on July 31, 2013, for emails between himself and staff with the "Manchester Building Department." Levasseur was presumably aware that the newspaper was digging into something that concerned him - and he wanted to know what the city had.
So will Levasseur also demand compensation from himself for the cost of producing these original records?
It's Girard's subsequent request, however, that likely prompted Levasseur to seek an injunction. (Girard has already received the file containing the Union Leader-requested emails.)
Girard, convinced that Levasseur had conspired with the critics of the dog park association, requested in November "any and all email communications" between Levasseur and the dog park dissidents, as well as Bill Barry, over a roughly six-month period. The City Solicitor's Office hasn't released this final batch of emails, but was prepared to do so - until Levasseur's suit.
If nothing else, the lawsuit could end up being a test case for whether constituent emails constitute government records under Chapter 91-A, a.k.a. the Right to Know Law.
- - - - - - -
Greazzo, for his part, is not relenting in his dogged pursuit of Levasseur, even after his censure last month.
He's made his own "written and attested complaint by a citizen of the city" to have the Conduct Board weigh several alleged violations by Levasseur, including "unethical and dishonest conduct." Perhaps the most intriguing part of the letter he sent to the city clerk concerns a section of state law, Chapter 49-C:13, that states an "elected body may, on specific charges and after due notice and hearing, at any time remove the mayor or one of its own members for cause."
The section would appear to contradict what City Solicitor Tom Clark told the aldermen at their meeting last month: that, much as some aldermen might want to do so, they can't vote out Levasseur.
But Clark's opinion stands. He told me the section of state law cited by Greazzo is merely "a template" for a municipal charter; Manchester has a different charter, one that lacks any mechanism for the removal of an alderman by his or her colleagues, Clark said.
The aldermen's meeting is on Tuesday, and it's likely Levasseur, Greazzo and Girard will all have some things to say. We'll see if the hatchet gets buried - or unsheathed yet again.

Russ and Linda Gehrlein do it every year. Every weekend after Thanksgiving, the Gehrleins pick out their cut Christmas tree.
Russ and Linda Gehrlein do it every year. Every weekend after Thanksgiving, the Gehrleins pick out their cut Christmas tree.
I met the Rolla family November 24, the first day Rolla Optimist Club had their Christmas tree lot open in Kroger's parking lot off Highway 63 and 6th Street.
"We come every year," said Linda Gehrlein, "it's become a family tradition."
It takes the whole family, Linda said, including son Andrew, daughter Melissa and Melissa's husband, David Harden, to make the final choice.
According to Don Olds, Rolla's Optimist Club has two kinds of cut Christmas trees this year:
Scotch Pine, on the right of the lot, were grown in southern Missouri. Balsam Fur, on the leftside of the lot, are from Michigan. Both are from tree farms, where trees are pruned and raised for cutting.
Olds said Balsam Fur trees tend to hold on to their needles longer and have more of a scent than Scotch Pine.
Over the years when I had cut Christmas trees, they tended to be Scotch Pine, which according to my research, are the most popular trees for Christmas decorating.
If you're going to get a live cut Christmas tree, measure the space where you are going to put the tree before picking one out. Trees seem smaller at the tree lot, and you don't want to have to chop whole tree sections off to make it fit.
After selecting your tree, make a fresh cut to the base. The cut will help the tree absorb water and stay hydrated.
No need to add aspirin or any other products; fresh water will keep your tree fresh.
Also make sure you have a tree stand that fits; don't cut the tree base to make it fit the stand. The tree needs all the base surface it has to regularly take in water.
A cut tree will absorb about one gallon of water the first day you have it in a stand.
Make sure to keep the tree watered and check it daily. A cut Christmas tree on the average will drink 1-2 quarts of water a day.
Don't place a tree next to a heating vent, fireplace or space heater. The additional heat will dry the tree out faster.
Once you have lights on the tree, turn lights off when you're not around. Lights can get hot and become a fire hazard in a dry tree.
Olds said Rolla Optimists sell between 500-600 trees every year. Proceeds benefit Optimist children's sports programs and scholarships.
And the Gehrleins?
After starting with a Scotch Pine, then looking at a Balsam Fur, the Gehrleins agreed on a 7.5-foot Scotch Pine.

README.new - Cross-compilation for linux
This is second approach to linux cross-compilation, which should allow building full perl and extensions for target platform. Cross-compilation for linux uses similar approach and shares the same files as cross-compilation for WinCE.
We refer to HOST as the platform where the build is performed, and to TARGET as where final executables will run.
Basic ideas
Unlike WinCE, output files from GCC cross-compiler are produced in the same directory where C files are. All TARGET binaries have different extensions so to distinguish HOST and TARGET binaries. Namely, object files for
arm cross-compilation will have extension
.armo, executable files will have
After typical cross-compilation the following files will be built, among others:
(this approach may be reconsidered, however.)
build process
miniperl is built. This executable is intended to run on HOST, and it will facilitate the remaining build process; all binaries built after it are foreign (TARGET) and should not run locally (HOST).
Unlike HOST build, miniperl will not have
Config.pm of HOST within reach; it rather will use the
Config.pm from the cross-compilation directories. In fact, if the build process does have Config.pm within reach, this is only an indication of a mistake somewhere in the middle.
# following command is okay:
./miniperl -Ilib -MCross -MConfig -e 1
# following command should cluck, and it is bad if it does not:
./miniperl -Ilib -MConfig -e 1
miniperl is built,
configpm is invoked to create an appropriate
Config.pm in the right place and its corresponding
Cross.pm is dead simple: for given cross-architecture places in @INC a path where perl modules are, and right
Config.pm in that place.
That said,
miniperl -Ilib -MConfig -we 1 should report an error, because it cannot find

Somersworth motorcyclist dies in Rollinsford crash
ROLLINSFORD — A Somersworth man died early Saturday after the motorcycle he was driving collided with a tree and a rock wall on Rollins Road, authorities said.
John P. Ray, 48, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
The accident happened around 1:20 a.m. in the area of 150 Rollins Road. A passing motorist spotted the motorcycle off the road and started to dial 911 when the on-duty officer happened to be traveling by. Both the officer and motorist attempted to resuscitate the man using CPR.
The road was closed for about five hours while police investigated.
Authorities are trying to determine Ray's whereabouts before the crash. Anyone with information is asked to call Lt. Jonathan Uraskevich at 742-8549, ext 302.
The accident remains under investigation by the Rollinsford police and the Strafford County Technical Accident Reconstruction Team.

The gas tax hike: One 'beeelion' dollars!
After the Democrats took the state House of Representatives and the corner office last fall, we wondered how far into the legislative session they would get before they went for a really big tax increase. The answer came on Wednesday: 35 days.
Gov. Maggie Hassan got this year's session started on the right foot when she announced she would veto a beer tax increase proposed by Rep. Charles Weed, D-Keene. That allowed her to take the middle ground between Republicans who wanted no tax hikes and the far left wing of her party, which thinks the government never has enough revenue to spend on all the good things liberals dream up.
Then, in her budget address, she proposed a tobacco tax increase three times the size of the one she campaigned on. But who cares about filthy smokers? Her inclusion of $80 million in gambling revenue in her budget sent the signal that she was unlikely to press for big tax hikes this year.
Then came last week's
207-163 vote to increase the gas tax by 15 cents per gallon
Rep. David Campbell, D-Nashua, who has long wanted a gas tax hike, proposed a 12-cents per gallon increase along with a hike in vehicle registration fees. His bill was amended to remove the registration fee increase and raise the gas tax by 15 cents per gallon.
The current tax is 18 cents per gallon, the lowest in New England. Campbell's bill would increase it by 83 percent over four years. The 10-year impact is expected to be about $1 billion, dedicated to the state's roads, bridges and highways.
So it took the House all of 35 days to vote for a $1 billion tax increase.
In the weeks leading up to the sequester, President Obama said the automatic cuts would take a "meat cleaver" to the federal budget. He said it was irresponsible to chop away without precision (even though the sequester was his proposal). This $1 billion gas tax hike is the sequester in reverse. Instead of doing the hard work of figuring out precisely how much money is needed to fix roads and bridges - after the Department of Transportation budget is prioritized to eliminate non-essential spending - 207 representatives voted to simply throw $1 billion at the issue and proclaim it fixed.
This is not responsible budgeting. This is lazy tax hiking for the sake of tax hiking. And the worst bit is, the House is only getting started. We have months to go.

Proposed New London budget shows 3 percent increaseBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
April 21. 2013 11:35PM
NEW LONDON - When voters come to Town Meeting in a few weeks, they'll be presented with a 2014 proposed budget that is up about 3 percent from last year.
Elections will be at the Whipple Memorial Town Hall from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 14. Town Meeting will be held May 15 at 7 p.m. in the old middle school gymnasium in New London.
The $7.2 million general operating budget, including transfers to capital reserves, has increased by a total of $182,065 or 3 percent from fiscal year 2013, town officials said. That increase, before other major components of the tax rate are figured during the rest of the fiscal year, would add 17 cents to the tax rate for a 4 percent increase.
The increase is due to several factors, town officials said.
The town kept the same employee health insurance plan this year, but the cost of the plan increased 14 percent.
Town employees and the town share the cost of the increase proportionately. In December, the Board of Selectmen approved a personnel policy change requiring all new full-time employees hired after Dec. 10, 2012 to contribute 15 percent to the cost of their health insurance premium should they elect to participate in the town's health insurance plan. That should result in health insurance savings going forward, town officials said.
Another increase is due to the unusual event of 27 two-week pay periods instead of 26 in fiscal year 2014. The cost of this extra pay period is about $85,000. This phenomenon will not impact the budget again for another 11 to 12 years, or sometime around 2025.
There was also an increase due to impacts from increases in costs from the state retirement system. The impact on the proposed budget is approximately $61,000, officials said.
The Board of Selectmen has included funding for a raise of 2 percent for town employees.
The budget committee has recommended an increase of $15,000 for the Kearsarge Area Council on Aging, bringing the total contribution to $35,000. The Lake Sunapee Region Chamber of Commerce requested an increase of $2,500 to fund weekend staffing at the New London Information Booth.
Payroll costs associated with the increase in health insurance premiums, retirement system contributions and an extra pay period amount to a budget increase of approximately $210,000. Savings were realized in the areas of legal expense, postage, debt service requirements and in the highway department.
Projected revenues are down approximately $65,000 from fiscal year 2013. At least half of this decrease is due to the trade-in of the fire department ladder truck.
The town also anticipates lower revenues from the state's Highway Block Grant and Meals and Rooms tax distributions.
The revenue projections will be revisited in September when more current data will be available, town officials said.

honeycomb cardiganMonday, February 09, 2009
Well, after much stretching, I can fit into my honeycomb cardigan. When I first put it on I like it, and actually think it fits fine.
See, not too tight across the back.
However, after I have it on for a while, (a minute or two) it pulls across the chest. Mistake #1: since I raised the neckline, I should have also added more buttons. Darn. But, I figure that I don't always have to wear it buttoned.
And if I want to wear it buttoned? Presto. Cover it with a scarf.

I love the color and sympathize with the button issue. But how smart of you to hide it with a long scarf! So much better than froggin...ReplyDelete
You are making me want to knit a long cardigan you bad girl.
gorgeous, leslie!!ReplyDelete
What a lovely cardigan--I love the pattern and the color! Makes me want to get through my current projects (all gifts) and knit something for me to wear!!ReplyDelete
Are they barmey?! Why on earth would you give this lovely knit away. Enjoy it. It looks great on you.ReplyDelete
Are they barmey?! Why on earth would you give this lovely knit away. Enjoy it. It looks great on you.ReplyDelete
Oh I was so excited when I saw this post was up, I've been waiting to see this one because of course, you always knit the things I want to knit! It's beautiful Leslie, I love the shape of this one and the yarn is perfect. It did occur to me that you could add a little popper in between those buttons but I would probably just wear it open or with the scarf. Gorgeous work once again.ReplyDelete
lovely!! That's a great color on you and I love the swingy shape. I wish I had the patience to knit something that long.ReplyDelete
very pretty and the scarf works...ReplyDelete
oh I really like it!! I've been a bit intimidated to try an adult sized sweater, but everytime I see something you have made, it inspires me to want to give it a go! Nice job!ReplyDelete
Oh, it's beautiful, and looks great on you! I love the color and mods you made.ReplyDelete
It is beautiful. Looks wonderful on you. I do hear you about the button/gap situation though.ReplyDelete
You might check out artsycraftybabe.typepad.com
her entry on January 8, 2009 may be an idea. It worked for her and I will try it when blocking the next sweater I make that is not for my 2 year old granddaughter:-)
Beautiful! Love the scarf fix :)ReplyDelete
Ohmygosh! That's a gorgeous sweater -- pulling or no pulling ;-). I love it with the scarf too. Very, very clever!ReplyDelete
Oh, it turned out GREAT!!! YAY! And, I say wear it buttoned, but only do the one button, right below the bustline. TOO cute!ReplyDelete
Now, if only I can learn to knit - LOL!!! As always, you inspire me to get started!!! - Erin
you wear it well!ReplyDelete
nice job!
And you could always do a little surgery on it and add more buttonholes if you wanted to
Your sweater is great ! I give you lots of points for the large amount of knitting to get such a nice long sweater. The scarf works well too. .The fit and changes seems to all be a part of everyones knitting tales. Overall I think it's greatReplyDelete
So pretty!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous! I'd be too selfish to give it away... ;) so I won't tell you that she might be more than happy to roll the cuffs once...or pick out a row or two & reknit the cuff...ReplyDelete
It turned out fabulous Leslie...I like it so much better with the higher neckline. The sweater looks great on you! Nicely done...once again.ReplyDelete
this is beautiful, with or without the scarf, nice choice of colour and loves the buttons too.ReplyDelete
is it "heavy" ? i love to knit one too even though it is not suitable to wear in this hot n humid place.
hmm...need to go to a winter holiday end of the year to be able to wear it ! can this be an excuss ?? LOL
keep it! it's so beautiful, leslie. and i love your scarf solution. you smart cookie.ReplyDelete
It looks great. Stylish :) Hope you fix the button bitReplyDelete
Just gorgeous! I love the clever scarf solution : )ReplyDelete
it is a beautiful cardigan! you did a great job!ReplyDelete
Great problem solving. I love the cardi though.ReplyDelete
Your cardigan is so lovely...don't give it away! The colour really suits you and it is a good excuse to wear a scarve.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I like the length, it is so pretty. :)ReplyDelete
I think it looks perfect, love it with the green scarf especially!ReplyDelete
Wow! Beautiful! Congrats! (!!)ReplyDelete
it's just lovely and it looks so great on you!!! you and your knitting blow. me. away!!!ReplyDelete
Love it! So pretty!ReplyDelete
Good thinkin', Blinkin', with the scarf thing. Looks great!ReplyDelete
You could also sew some invisible snaps in there between the buttons. That would take care of any gapping. I actually do that on my dress shirts sometimes, as I'm a skinny gal with ample boosiasms, and often have the pulling-accross-the-gals problem.
I love the cardigan and like you, I enjoy cardigans that can be worn as a coat. I would bet that the pulling might disappear with wear. Really great job...it is a beautiful knit and the color you chose is wonderful.ReplyDelete
I love it! It's looks so comfy and cozy.ReplyDelete
When sewing they often recommend that you put a button right at the bustline and then space the remainder of your buttons from there. I'm not sure I would have liked that solution here. You would have ended up with buttons very widely spaced or lots of smaller buttons. I like the size and number of buttons you have and the sweater is beautiful on you--truly inspiring! I have a couple of ideas but no clear way to express them in this type of forum.ReplyDelete
So lovely. Even if it doesnt fit exactly it is still adorable.ReplyDelete
You (and your Honeycomb) are amazing! I dub thee the "Mistress of Lemons to Lemonade".ReplyDelete
The fit across the back is dead on. And your fix for the openness in front? A brilliant excuse to knit more cute neck wear.
- Anonymous3/05/2009
me and a friend have issues with buttons since we have big breasts :) I usually don't even buy shirts, because the buttons will just pull. The other day she told me, she sews on "snaps" between buttons... They don't show outside of the shirt/sweater, but will be able to pull the two sides together. I am not sure if it will work with a knit piece, but it might be worth giving it a try...ReplyDelete
I was questioning what is up with that bizarre gravatar??? I know 5am is early and I'm not wanting my finest at that hour, however I hope I do not seem like this! I'd nonetheless make that face if I am requested to do a hundred pushups. lol Anyway, in my language, there should not much good source like this.ReplyDelete

STOCKTON - A suspected car thief hit two parked cars, rammed two patrol cars and drove the wrong direction on three area highways while leading authorities on a wild pursuit Saturday, the California Highway Patrol said.
STOCKTON - A suspected car thief hit two parked cars, rammed two patrol cars and drove the wrong direction on three area highways while leading authorities on a wild pursuit Saturday, the California Highway Patrol said.
The CHP apprehended three people after a 47-minute chase in which a man occupied three cars, reached speeds of 100 mph and drove into oncoming freeway traffic before officers rammed the vehicle to end the pursuit, authorities said. Officers arrested a man and two women, including at least one who was considered an accomplice, after forcing a red Mercury to stop near South Lincoln and West Sonora streets, police said.
Area law enforcement officers said it was one of the longest and most dangerous police pursuits they could recall.
"No pursuit is typical," said Officer James Smith, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol. "However, this pursuit was extremely dangerous."
The chase began at 11:52 a.m. when an officer tried to initiate a traffic stop after spotting a man and woman in a stolen red Nissan pickup near Sutro Avenue and Waterloo Road, authorities said. The man then drove north on southbound Highway 99, officials said.
The man exited and merged onto area highways several times during the pursuit. He drove the wrong way on Highway 99, Highway 4 and Interstate 5, forcing CHP cars to cancel their pursuit a number of times out of concern for public safety while an aerial unit remained overhead, authorities said.
The man and woman ditched the Nissan truck in the 8000 block of Hillcrest Avenue and stole a Volvo, police said. They got out of the Volvo near South Fresno and Church streets and got into a Mercury being driven by another woman, authorities said. Officers initially believed the driver of the Mercury was a carjacking victim, but they later determined she was an accomplice, Smith said.
As the three occupants of the Mercury tried to flee, officers received permission to use the PIT maneuver, a technique used to stop high-risk pursuits, authorities said. The Mercury rammed a patrol car after one PIT maneuver failed, but a second attempt was successful, the highway patrol said.
The man jumped out of the car and attempted to climb a fence in a desperate attempt to jump into a slough that runs below South Lincoln Street, authorities said. The man was apprehended at 12:39 p.m. No CHP officers were hurt during the pursuit, Smith said.
Officers subsequently searched each of the vehicles the man occupied during the pursuit, authorities said. They found a handgun in the Nissan pickup and a stolen semiautomatic handgun in the Mercury, Smith said.
The man was arrested on suspicion of numerous crimes, including vehicle theft, evading police, hit-and-run and gun possession, authorities said. He also was arrested on two $100,000 warrants, one from San Joaquin County and one from Manteca, Smith said.
Authorities were withholding the man's name Saturday night because they were trying to determine if he was wanted in connection with another unrelated, unspecified felony crime, officers said.
Smith said pursuing officers may have saved innocent lives when they ended the chase.
"We've had pursuits go the wrong way before and we've had high speeds, but this was particularly dangerous," Smith said. "That's why we terminated the pursuit several times, and that's why, when the opportunity arose, we attempted to PIT the vehicle so we could stop this extremely reckless and dangerous driving before he injured somebody."

Bonjour Carol,ReplyDelete
I have been to Nantes and loved it. We stayed with friends there who took us on a water tour of the city. We zipped in and around the waterways, it was great fun. I particularly enjoyed exploring the regenerated shipping yards and the Machine de L'ile, the amazing cultural and artistic project site inspired by two artist and since developed into some major projects. Wonderful! Here is the link, it may inspire a second visit. I love your work and adventure, wonderful too. http://www.lesmachines-nantes.fr/englishReplies

Carol, I once spent part of a day in Nantes, and have a vivid memory of walking around that chateau. Thank you for including that photo.

Wow this was really interesting to me since the French foreign exchange student, Clotildes, that stayed with our neighbors this summer, was from Nantes. She was a real sweetie too.

About 30 years ago (yikes!), I did a summer program in Nantes and lived with a great French family for 6 weeks. I loved it! Next time be sure to visit the Passage Pommeraye. It was in Nantes that I had my first Moules marinieres and tarte tatin - still favorites to this day!
Monoprix also sells fleur de sel Guerende (I bought the one on the right in Paris).

Delightful piece about you! And the watercolor at the top of this post is now my favorite! Perfect.ReplyDelete
I didn't know about Nantes (now another fantasy place to retire) but when I took a day trip to the Loire valley, I wished I could have stayed there longer. I love that you go go go but I'm afraid I'd weigh 500lbs. if I was there long enough.ReplyDeleteReplies

REDMESA A Farmington woman was killed in a head-on car crash Monday on Colorado Highway 140, about 3½ miles north of the New Mexico line.
The crash occurred on a curve about 4:20 p.m., when a white 1999 Pontiac Grand Am, driven in the northbound lane by 30-year-old Dacia D. Roark, crossed the center line and slammed head-on into a white 2001 Toyota Tacoma pickup traveling in the southbound lane, according to drivers who arrived on scene shortly after it occurred and a report by the Colorado State Patrol.
Roark was pronounced dead at the scene. The passenger in her car, Willie Navarette, 3, was flown to the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center in Albuquerque with serious injuries, Trooper Jonathan Silver said. UNM Health Sciences Center Media Relations manager Luke Frank confirmed Willie was in serious condition Monday night.
Neither Roark nor Willie were wearing seat belts, and Willie was not restrained in a child seat, Capt. Adrian Driscoll, the new commander of the Region 5 District of the Colorado State Patrol said.
Thats the third death with people not wearing seat belts since I got here 2½ weeks ago, he said. Were always concerned about that, and I hope it calms down.
Marlon Hopper of Breen said the man in the pickup was awake and alert moments after the accident. He is a Gallup, N.M., resident, Craig Robinson, 42. David Bruzzese, spokesman for Mercy Regional Medical Center, where Robinson was transported, said Robinson was in good condition Monday night.
Roark, appeared to be pregnant, Hopper said.
Both Roark and Robinson had to be extricated from their vehicles by emergency personnel, who responded from both Fort Lewis Mesa Fire Protection District and the Durango Fire & Rescue Authority.
He just didnt have room to get out of there, Hopper said of Robinson. He said she was way across the center line, and he didnt have room to get out of the way.
