BANKRUPTCY FAQ's
What is Bankruptcy?
To put it bluntly, bankruptcy is a legal way to avoid paying people what you owe them. Bankruptcy has biblical antecedents; however, look at the "Jubilee Year" and the forgiveness of debt in Leviticus 25. Since there is no Jubilee Year today, in many situations bankruptcy is the only way that you can keep your home from foreclosure, your car from repossession, your possessions from auction and creditors from making your life miserable.
You are required by law to list all of your obligations. You cannot pick and choose who is "file bankruptcy on." The law does allow you to voluntarily payback a discharged debt AFTER you complete your bankruptcy. If you fail to list a creditor or they do not receive notice of your bankruptcy, their claim may survive your bankruptcy.
When a person is discharged in bankruptcy, he or she is relieved from liability for most debts incurred before the bankruptcy was filed and protected from future collection of those debts. The purpose of bankruptcy is to give you a "fresh start," and the bankruptcy code is interpreted by the Courts to give effect to these words.What kind of Bankruptcy is there?
There are two main types of consumer bankruptcy: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. (The other two chapters, Chapter 11 and Chapter 12, apply to corporations and "form" reorganizations who don't qualify for a Chapter 13, and to family farmers.)
|Chapter 7 is what most people think of when they think of bankruptcy. All of the debtor's assets – with the exception of "exempt" items or assets with no equity – can be sold and proceeds are distributed among the creditors. A typical Chapter 7 bankruptcy will last about four or five months from filing to entry of an order of discharge.
|Chapter 13 provides a way for you to pay back your creditors, in whole or in part, over a period of three to five years. You must have less than $307,675 in unsecured debt (such as credit cards and doctor's bills), i.e, liquidated debt. As to secured claims, you may not have more than $922,975 in noncontingent, liquidated, secured debts (such as home loans and car loans) in order to qualify to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Due to the Court-approved payment plan, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy will last between three and five years, although attorney involvement usually ends after about three months. In many cases, no interest will be paid on the amounts being repaid through the Chapter 13 Plan, you pay your unsecured creditors only pennies on the dollar, and you keep all of your assets. Whether or not your plan length would be required to last 60 months will depend on the Means Test Formula set forth in Form 22C in each Chapter 13 case. In order to determine whether or not your case is statutorily mandated to be a 60 month plan pivots on your income for the 6 months prior to you filing the chapter 13 bankruptcy.
What's Involved in Filing for Bankruptcy? A bankruptcy is started by filing a Petition with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The requirements for the petitions vary depending on the Chapter under which the bankruptcy is filed, but involve detailed forms and schedules which are not available at the Bankruptcy Court. The filing package, including copies, averages about 50 pages for a typical Chapter 7 and 75 pages for a typical Chapter 13. Filing fees are $299 for a Chapter 7 and $274 for a Chapter 13 in addition to the reasonable legal fees you would be charged.
Will I Lose Everything If I File? A person who files for bankruptcy may exempt certain items from the bankruptcy. In most cases, this lets you keep your home, your car, your furniture, your household items, your retirement and most, if not all, of what you have. Different states have different allowances for exemptions. You also can keep assets that have no equity, such as a car that's worth less than is owed on it, or a house where the mortgage is higher than the property value. Even if there is a small amount of equity, you can normally keep the asset.
Can All My Debts Be Wiped Out? There are certain debts which cannot be discharged. Federal and state taxes incurred less than three years before the date of filing (although you may get more time to pay them back), student loans (except where you can show "undue hardship"), child support and alimony are the big ones.
What Happens Once I File? Once the Petition is filed, the Court issues an Automatic Stay. This stops all legal proceedings (Civil/Collection) against you. Foreclosures, repossessions, and garnishments are halted, creditors cannot call or write you, and lawsuits against you can not be filed or pursued if they are pending.
Are Different Creditors Treated Differently? Creditors are broken down into three main classes: priority, secured and unsecured. Priority creditors are those creditors which are given special (and priority) treatment under the law for collection of the money owed them. They are paid first. Some examples of priority creditors are the IRS and people owed child support or alimony. Secured Creditors have next call. These are creditors who have a security interest or lien in or on your property, such as a bank holding a mortgage on your home or a finance company holding a lien on your car. Most of the time, secured creditors will be paid. Everyone else is an Unsecured Creditor. Credit cards, loans from banks and individuals, doctor's bills, some taxes that are old enough, and general claims for money are all unsecured debt. In most cases, unsecured creditors get nothing or only a portion of what they are owed. You may also terminate Executory Contracts, such as leases for an apartment, car or equipment, in a bankruptcy.
How Do I Keep My House and Car? If your payments are current, you have to keep making them or if you are upside down in your auto loan, then it may be possible to cram down the value to the fair market value (FMV) and pay the FMV with usually a lesser than contract interest rate on the loan. For example, 8% vs. 24% which your auto loan may be financed at. If you're behind on your auto loan and/or house loan and the creditor is seeking to foreclose on your house or repossess your car, you can pay the arrearage through a Chapter 13 Plan and re-start the payments after you file when it comes to your home loan and that may be the best option for you on your vehicle loan. Again, it is imperative for you to consult an attorney who practices in the bankruptcy law field and learn what your legal options are. If your vehicle was purchased less than 910 days BEFORE the date you file your Chapter 13 bankruptcy, then you will be required to honor the terms of your loan agreement…subject to possible negotiations with your creditor.

The barefoot man whose image was shared worldwide when a tourist snapped a photo of an NYPD officer giving him boots on a cold Times Square sidewalk is shoeless again.
The New York Times found him Sunday night wandering barefoot on Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood. The paper identified him as Jeffrey Hillman, formerly of South Plainfield, N.J.
Asked about the $100 all-weather boots Officer Larry DePrimo gave him on Nov. 14, Hillman said he's hidden them because "they are worth a lot of money." He said he could lose his life over them.
U.S. & World
The Arizona tourist's photo of DePrimo kneeling on the ground to give the man boots quickly became an online sensation, generating more than 325,000 "likes" on the NYPD's Facebook page.
Hillman told the Times he was grateful for the gift, but he said he wanted "a piece of the pie" because the photo went on the Internet "without permission."
"I appreciate what the officer did, don't get me wrong," he added. "I wish there were more people like him in the world."
Hillman also told the Times he wanted to "thank everyone that got onto this thing. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. It meant a lot to me. And to the officer, first and foremost."
DePrimo appeared Friday on the "Today" show along with Jennifer Foster, the tourist who snapped the image that was shared around the world. DePrimo called the response to the photo "surreal and extremely humbling" and said he kept the receipt for the boots in his vest as a reminder of some people's circumstances.
Hillman told the Times he served as a "food service specialist" in the United States and Germany after joining the Army in 1978 and worked in New Jersey kitchens after his honorable discharge five years into the service. He didn't explain how he ended up homeless.
Sources familiar with Hillman told NBC 4 New York he often panhandles in Times Square and was placed in veteran's housing some time in the past year. It's not clear if he still has a place to live.
The Times reported other people, in addition to one of its reporters, said they saw Hillman barefoot on the street after DePrimo gave him the shoes. One woman told the paper she bought him a pair of shoes a year ago.

Press Release:
AniMinneapolis announces two more guests
Minneapolis, MN – January 8, 2014 – AniMinneapolis announced earlier today that two new guests, Greg Ayres and Jonathan Klein, will be appearing at the convention in May in downtown Minneapolis.
Jonathan Klein is an English language producer and director of Videogames and Anime at his company, New Generation Pictures, Inc. He has produced and/or directed the English voices on many popular anime titles, such as Hellsing & Hellsing Ultimate, Paranoia Agent, Ergo-Proxy, R.O.D the TV, Haibane Renmei, Texhnolyze and many others. Recently he directed Ikki Tousen: Great Guardians and Xtreme Xecutor for Funimation. He has also produced and/or directed the English voices on such videogames as Final Fantasy IV (DS version), Final Fantasy: The Crystal Bearers, Star Ocean IV, Valkrie Profile II & VP: Covenant of The Plume, The Guided Fate Paradox, Rune Factory 3, Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and every version of Capcom's Street Fighter since Street Fighter IV, and a whole lot more. Jonathan is also involved in the production of several other Marvel Comics related videogames which he'll talk about at the convention.
Greg Ayres can usually be found rockin' out somewhere, whether animated or not. From the loud-mouthed Hideki in Nerima Daikon Brothers, to Koyuki, singing with the the band in Beck:Mongolian Chop Squad, he's always glad to shake things up a bit. He is thrilled to be able to add the roles of Uesugi Kenshin in Sengoku Basara, Seikechi Tayama in Oh Edo Rocket, and Abe in Big Windup to his list of new roles. He can also be head as Son Goku in Saiyuki, Chrono in Chrono Crusade, Kaoru Hitachiin in Ouran High School Host Club, Yuki in The Wallflower, Leo in Ghost Stories , Satoshi Hiwatari in DNAngel, Kaworu Nagisa in the Director's Cut of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Negi Springfield in Negima, Heihachi in Samurai 7, Jr. in Xenosaga:The Animation, Tsujido in Speed Grapher, Roan in Ragnorok The Animation, Yamazaki in Welcome to the NHK, Nowy in Glass Fleet, Gau Ban in Shadow Skill, Pope Alessandro XVIII in Trinity Blood, and a bunch of other titles he'll probably forget to mention. Funimation has recently announced that Greg will voice the role of Kouta Tsuchiya in it's upcoming release of Baka and Test. When he's not in a booth at the anime studios with headphones on, you can usually find him sporting headphones of a different variety behind "the decks". A veteran nightclub DJ of many years, Greg has really enjoyed the opportunity of doing something else that he truly loves at conventions. From packed rooms at anime conventions, to the legendary stage of The Knitting Factory (NYC), Greg never misses an opportunity to share his love for music with anyone who will listen.
The two guests will both be signing autographs and doing panels at AniMinneapolis, which will be held from May 23-25, 2014 at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. You can see the announcement at http://animecon.org/posts/975-Jonathan-Klein-and-Greg-Ayres-at-AniMinneapolis.
This year will feature AniMinneapolis's first ever charity auction. 100% of proceeds will be going to charities such as St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, as the convention auctions off rare and limited edition anime collectibles. Thanks to New Generation Pictures and future sponsors the convention will be auctioning off over 50 of the most rare and unique anime pieces that can be found.
Jonathan and Greg join a growing guest list that includes Chris Rager, Eric Stuart, Linkara, Jad Saxton, Leah Clark, and Steam Powered Giraffe. The full list, including bios for each, can be found at http://animinneapolis.com/guests
AniMinneapolis costs only $45 to attend for the weekend for attendees who register in advance, before March 31. Interested anime fans can register at http://animinneapolis.com/registration.

This has a literal dog fight written all over it.
This has a literal dogfight written all over it.
Both the Dixon and Lejeune football teams look to continue their winning streaks when the former conference rivals clash tonight aboard Camp Lejeune.
Kickoff is 7 p.m.
A victory for Dixon would give the Bulldogs their first 5-0 start in program history while a win for Lejeune (3-1) would give the Devilpups their fourth consecutive victory.
Certainly something has to give in this nonconference game.
�I definitely think these kids have put in work. They�ve been dedicated since January,� Dixon coach Brandon Iseman said. �They have put in the time, they are blue-collar, hard-working kids who deserve the success they are getting.�
Conversely, a contributing factor for Lejeune�s winning streak is senior leadership, coach Darryl Schwartz said.
�We have a lot of seniors who are mature,� he said. �It�s resulted in more team-building.�
This is the first meeting between the two schools since NCHSAA realignment this year moved Dixon from the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference to the East Central 2-A Conference.
Lejeune still resides in the CPC and was the league�s preseason favorite, thanks in large part to the return of running back Jamaz Richardson, now a senior.
�This really is a big game because they are kind of our rivals and they are bigger than us, which will make us work harder,� Schwartz said. �We are going to have to play good football, we are going to have to play better than we did last week and we can�t let up because Dixon is pretty good.�
The Bulldogs have been good thus far.
Dixon is the area�s lone undefeated team and is 4-0 for the first time since 2003. The Bulldogs beat North Duplin 46-19 last week and are also looking for their second straight win over the Devilpups.
Dixon beat Lejeune 33-12 last year.
�Every game for us is the biggest and that�s always the main focus, the next game,� Iseman said. �They have a very talented football team and we have a lot of respect for them. We are excited because it�s going to be another good test for us and the kids are excited for the challenge.�
Both coaches know what exact challenges face their teams � trying to limit the other�s playmakers.
Dixon senior Malik Simmons is second in the area in rushing with 635 yards and 10 touchdowns, averaging 10.7 yards per carry. He is complemented by senior quarterback Robbi Wyble, who has 346 yards rushing and four touchdowns to go along with 109 yards passing and a score.
Simmons ran for 200 yards and three touchdowns while Wyble ran for 115 yards and two scores against North Duplin.
�Malik and Robbi are dynamic athletes who are in the same category as Jamaz in that on any play they can go to the house,� Iseman said. �They�ve shown that and the guys up front are doing a good job of blocking for them.�
So how will the Devilpups try to limit the Simmons-Wyble combo? With their linebackers, Schwartz said.
�I think we have three of the best linebackers in the area, Brady Bodine, Stephen DiCenso and Drake Bodine,� Schwartz said. �Those three linebackers are going to be key for our defense. We have to take our best athletes on their best athletes.�
Meanwhile, Lejeune is led by Richardson, who is third in the area in rushing with 580 yards and nine touchdowns. He ran for 181 yards and four touchdowns in last week�s 42-12 win over Rosewood.
�I think the key word is execution. Now (that) we � have executed and limited our mistakes,� Schwartz said. �We got to be able to turn to our workhorse (Richardson), but we also better have an alternate. We have to develop other parts of our game around Jamaz.�
Richardson is Lejeune�s go-to back. Iseman understands that and realizes his team faces a daunting task of limiting the speedy and elusive runner.
�Jamaz has the ability to take any play to the house. They have great blockers and athletes who do a good job of setting him up,� Iseman said. �One thing we preach to our kids is that they have to play their responsibilities. They have to take the right angles to cut him off. We need to respect his speed, but not fear it. Pursue is the big thing for us.�
Lejeune and Dixon share one common foe � Spring Creek (1-3) � which lost 27-22 at home to the Bulldogs on Aug. 23 and lost 46-7 at the Devilpups on Aug. 30.
So how will this game develop?
�This game will be extremely competitive,� Iseman said. �I expect my kids to play well.�

GIMME SHELTER- Early heat: Treat it like summer
Q: How can I take care of my lawn in this heat wave we've been having? What do I need to do to keep it thriving?
A: July and August are usually the tough times for lawns in Central Virginia, but with the heat wave we've been having, June appears to be just as tough. In fact, if this continues, the summer months could be unusually hard on your lawn. Unfortunately, grasses planted around here are either Fescue or Bluegrass varieties. These are cool season grasses that tend to do better in colder climates.
So why don't we just plant warm season grasses? Some people do; those species are typically Zoysia or Bermuda Grass. They thrive in hot weather but are not frequently used here as they don't "green up" until late May and have a very short growing season, typically only through October– if you're lucky.
That being said, the typical (cool season grass) lawn is having a tough time right now. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot you can do. However, what not to do is crucial: do not apply fertilizer now to a lawn without irrigation. Water or increase irrigation if your lawn is small enough. With water, do not exceed the rainfall equivalent of one inch per week, and water in the early morning to avoid evaporative loss of expensive water.
If you have an irrigation system, set it to come on around 4am and be off by daybreak. Avoid watering in the evening or around midnight, as the increased duration of foliar wetness can lead to fungus. If you water, be aware your water bill will take a huge hit– it's easy to triple your water consumption.
If you insist on significant watering of your lawn, it's best to have an irrigation system hooked up to an exclusion meter, which measures only outdoor water consumption. Thus you're not billed for sewer, and you can cut your water bill back down.
Another tip: check your mower. Are the blades sharp, or is there a lot of grass buildup under the deck? Proper mowing, in my opinion, is the most important aspect of turf management. A dull blade does not cut grass; it tears the leaf. The grass plant is then more disease-prone. Mow when necessary. If the grass is brown and crispy, avoid needless mowing (and other traffic such as ballplay). If the grass is growing quickly, mow frequently.
Use the "rule of thirds": do not cut off more than 1/3 of the grass leaf per grass cutting. Also, change your mowing pattern by mowing perpendicular to or against last week's pattern.
Generally, you should cut your grass taller in the summer months (4 to 4.5 inches) to promote root growth and heat tolerance. Cutting high also discourages weeds without the use of herbicides.

That feeling of smug you get with your sleek Macbook and its integrated battery may not be worth it anymore, as a security researcher has shown that Apple batteries are vulnerable to hacking. It's possible to brick the battery completely, or even worse, infect it with malicious code that not even a complete OS re-install can fix.
Laptop batteries are way smarter than they used to be. They're so smart, in fact, that they come with their own little processor with firmware on it that manages communications between the battery and computer to do things like control charging rates and send back information on how much juice is left. In the past, Apple has deployed hotfixes for malfunctioning batteries, and by analyzing those hotfixes, security researcher Charlie Miller was able to gain direct access to the battery firmware.
So what can you do with access to battery firmware? For one, you can instruct a battery to brick itself, neither discharging itself nor taking charge. Or, you can tell it to provide false information about charge levels to its computer. If you wanted to be really nasty, you could hide malware inside the battery firmware itself, meaning that a user's own battery could launch attacks against the rest of the computer, and no amount of virus scanning or re-installing things would help.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The good news is that it seems like it's not possible for a hacker to send instructions to the battery that will cause it to dramatically overheat and/or explode, but it sounds like patching the vulnerability will involve securing your battery against any future hotfixes from Apple, too. At least you can rest comfortably knowing that worst case, you'll just have to go out and buy a cheap new battery to replace the one that turned against you.
Oh wait, no you can't.

Royce White says he is ready to focus on basketball.
The 6-foot-8 White, the 16th overall pick last summer, will play for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in Tuesday's game against Maine, one day after reporting to the Houston Rockets' developmental league affiliate. He has been away from the Rockets since early November after requesting an arrangement to help him properly treat his diagnosed anxiety disorder while balancing the demands of the NBA schedule.
"It was tough not being able to play, but it was necessary," White said. "I feel like I've been right on the verge of coming back the whole time. I've kind of been just waiting right on the edge of my seat to come back. I'm not really nervous or anything. I'm just ready to get back out there."
The Rockets chose White in the first round after one spectacular season at Iowa State, where he led the Cyclones in scoring (13.4 points a game), rebounds (9.3), assists (5.0), steals (1.2) and blocks (0.9). White missed the first week of training camp after sensing that his mental illness would become more difficult to manage if he didn't ask for certain conditions. He and the team agreed to allow him to travel by bus to some games while he confronted his fear of flying and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
White soon stopped participating in team activities and said on Twitter that dealing with his mental health took precedence over his NBA career. He refused an assignment to the D-League in late December, and was suspended without pay on Jan. 6. White and the Rockets reached an agreement on Jan. 26, and he was reinstated.
"I think it's all been real positive," White said of the ordeal. "I feel blessed and honored to be part of what has taken place the last two months despite how tumultuous it might have seemed, it was a very progressive kind of thing and it needed to be done."
White has been outspoken on Twitter throughout the process, and he criticized the Rockets at one point for putting out "extremely misleading" and "a lot of times totally inaccurate" information. He's drawn supporters and detractors, and acknowledged that he's even received death threats.
"I expected a negative reaction, for sure, just because I'm aware of the stigma that's represented with mental health" he said. "But as far as how hateful it got, you know death threats and things like that are way out of line, I think, for sporting types of interactions. It suggests a lot about mental health."
White often publicly displayed the harshest messages he received on his Twitter account.
"A lot of the people who actually said really hateful things have now come back and apologized and admitted they deal with mental health issues," he said. "I think there's a lot of dynamic to what we saw as far as reaction."
After Tuesday's shootaround, White boarded a customized bus and drove off. The Vipers are flying to the Dallas area to play in Frisco on Wednesday and White says he'll ride the bus to the game.
"I appreciate the Rockets and the NBA being patient with such a new topic like mental health," he said. "Now, I'm moving forward and this isn't the end or the beginning. It's just another piece and we'll just try to do the best we can with it."
AP Sports Writer Chris Duncan in Houston contributed to this report.

The chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. Marcia Fudge, signaled Thursday that she is prepared to make new concessions on food stamps to advance Farm Bill talks with the Senate.
But having met face to face with Majority Leader Eric Cantor this week, Fudge, a Democrat from Ohio, said she came away more skeptical that the Virginia Republican is willing to move from his own positions to get a deal.
"He doesn't want a bill," Fudge told POLITICO of their Tuesday meeting. "Just in terms of our discussion, it was clear to me, it was my sense that he really does not want a bill."
As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, Fudge had opposed the initial $20.5 billion package of food stamp savings reported by the panel as part of its farm bill in June. But she said she was now willing to consider supporting the savings as a way to get to conference with the Senate, if the Republican floor amendments — including one promoted by Cantor — are first pulled out.
"I would consider voting for that bill, yes," Fudge said. "I am willing to make concessions to get [the farm] bill done. I don't know how we separate the nutrition portion from the farm bill portion. However, it is my sense that [Cantor] does not want a bill for whatever reason. That's how I feel."
Fudge's comments are significant for two reasons. First, because of her standing among Democrats, she is someone who could genuinely help to shift votes toward a compromise. Second, the fact that Fudge came away so frustrated — after seeking out Cantor with the help of Ohio Republicans — adds to the perception among many farm state Republicans that the majority leader is slow-walking talks with the Senate.
So much so that Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has begun to reach out to the major players on the farm bill in recent days to assure them that the House will be prepared to appoint conferees early in September when lawmakers return from the August recess.
This reassurance is important if the top members of the House and Senate Agriculture committees are to use the intervening time effectively to begin exploring compromises. These "pre-conference" talks got off to a rough start with sniping between the staffs aggravated by Senate doubts over whether the House will ever go to conference. But Boehner appears to have calmed the waters — for the moment.

Winner of the Ditmar Award for Best Novel, 2010
Winner of the Shadows Award for Best Fiction, 2009
"I've never seen anyone capture sordid human nature so clearly. I was completely drawn in, totally immersed. I felt ill much of the time."
– Russell Kirkpatrick, author of Across the Face of the World
Stevie is a killer. But she brings her victims back to life again, to demand, "What do you see when you die?" Now she's about to find out for herself.
File Under: Horror [ Real-life Terror | Damaged Lives | Family Secrets | Beyond Death ]
Stevie is a killer.
After an accident in which her mother dies, she has a near-death experience, and finds herself in a room full of people – everyone she's ever pissed off. They clutch at her, scratch and tear at her. But she finds herself drawn back to this place, again and again, determined to unlock its secrets. Which means she has to die, again and again.
And she starts to wonder whether other people see the same room… when they die.
Slights is a deeply intense, disturbing read. Death is not the end, but this is not comforting, heartwarming or safe. The misery memoir craze of the last few years has overshadowed horror fiction's impact with (allegedly) real-life experiences. Now it's time for horror and fantasy fiction to fight back.

|Discuss and Review Slights
"The best horror of 2009"
– Genreville
"Minutely detailed events and conversations are progressively undercut with singsong variations of "This is what should have happened…. This is what did happen." In the sickening blur of Stevie's narrative, what "really" happens is both uncertain and obvious; the details she commands so confidently are infinitely mutable, but the gruesome consequences slowly become apparent. With outstanding control, Warren manipulates Stevie's voice to create a portrait of horror that in no way reads like a first novel."
– Publisher's Weekly (starred review and Pick of the Week)
"Slights was everything that I hoped it would be—and more. It's a creepy kind of horror novel, the kind of sublime read that gets under your skin and leads you to distraction… Looking for a truly creepy Halloween read? Want something wildly unique and highly unusual? Seek out and read this award-winning debut novel"
– Unabashedly Bookish – the Barnes & Noble Community Blog
"Slights is a rusted blade of a book, cutting away at the reader's comfortable expectations until only bitter bones are left; a delightful middle class suburban fright."
– Jay Lake
"Disturbing … very disturbing… The entire book is like seeing something so horrific that you want to avert your eyes while at the same time being totally mesmerized by the spectacle… Damn good story, I give it a 5 out of 5 stars."
– Gnostalgia
"Slights is a forceful, harrowing read, and is not only the best horror novel but one of the best books I have read in 2009. Be warned, this is a dark read and certainly isn't for everyone…but I loved it. Absolutely recommended, for those with a strong constitution.
Rating: 9 – Damn Near Perfection"
– The Book Smuggler
"What first feels like a coming-of-age story ends up being a novel about mass murder, and also, somehow, a novel about a daughter finally letting go of her father after his death. Warren possesses a knack for expressing her narrator's voice, allowing even the most outlandish thoughts and ideas to be presented earnestly and believably. Slights displays a true knack for style and a highly imaginative vision which I look forward to seeing explored more fully in subsequent work from Kaaron Warren. The horror genre is lucky to have [a new writer] of such quality and ambition."
– Strange Horizons
"Slights is dark. Really, really dark. Throughout the book we are treated to suicide attempts, murder, visions of the worst sort of room 101 style hell, and at all times an unrelenting trawl through all that is bad about the human psyche. At the same time, Warren has crafted a believable world populated by real, three-dimensional characters. The novel is well paced as a whole, and the way the reader is drip-fed information, well interspersed around acts of unthinkable brutality, works particularly well. Slights [is] a book you have to finish whether you want to or not, as well as being hugely and genuinely disturbing. You have been warned…"
– SciFi Now
"Slights is the misery memoir to end all misery memoirs. A novel about murder, incest, child abuse, drugs, deprivation, self-cutting, police corruoption, digging up human bones in the garden and not tidying up around the house. It's also about ghosts, and becoming addicted to near-death experiences. It is, on occasion, gut-wrenchingly funny; and sometimes simply gut-wrenching in its desire to see what boundaries can be pushed until they're broken." ****
– Jon Courtenay Grimwood, SFX
"Dark and sinister with a huge sense of raw dread running throughout its page count, Slights is an astonishing, gripping and terrifying book that will have spines tingling and teeth clenched in fear up and down the country. "
– Zone Horror
"You will feel physically contaminated, you will feel ill, you will never get Stevie out of your mind. Pure, unadulterated horror. Not speculative fiction, not fantasy – pure, sick horror. "
– Aurealis Xpress
"It's a masterpiece of voice, a bleak and haunting novel that gets its hooks into you and yanks, all the while scratching its broken nails down the blackboard of your psyche. Kaaron Warren has set the standard by which all future Australian horror novels will have to be judged."
– Trent Jamieson
"Slights is this weird animal (in a good way) that's atmospheric and different from a lot of novels that's out there, and not just due to the subject matter, but because of the author's talent and skill."
– Bibliophile Stalker
"Slights by Kaaron Warren is the latest in a series of novels which are slowly but surely rebuilding the horror genre as a rich, inventive field. Slights is about as horrific as its possible to get, a novel that trawls the depths of human depravity to explore what happens at the edge of human understanding. Warren has a keen ear for prose and dialogue and a very strong sense of the normal, making the horrific events of the book all the more unsettling. Slights holds your head under water until you almost black out, lets you up, then does it again. This is kitchen sink horror, pragmatic and savage, brutal and human all at once."
– Alasdair Stuart
"I just couldn't put it down. I had to keep reading to see what bizarre thing would happen next (and many bizarre things did happen). Warren has crafted something special here."
– Horrorscope
"This is by far one of the most difficult books to review, because I enjoyed it so much, and there were so many layers to the story. Not only a character piece, it's also a family history, with a mystery to bring the two together. Slights is classified as a horror novel, but don't go in expecting blood, guts, and monsters. The horror of this book is the human kind, that silently creeping sickness of the psyche that can be hiding inside of any of us."
– The Book Zombie
"Perhaps one of the most disturbing psychological horror stories imbued with withering decadence and written as a memoir. This story haunted me and froze my blood in a manner I have yet to encounter… From conception to execution Kaaron Warren redefined fear for me and stole my breath… A most grotesque mosaic of human debauchery and demoralization, whose beauty lies within the intricacy of its design. It builds painfully slow, but when Slights reaches its most potent state you will fear contact with strangers. I have more to say, much, much, but I want you to find all the surprises. Must-read. Rating: 5 out of 5, ecstatic wows."
– Temple Library Reviews
"This is a creepy book. Frightening. Disturbing. It is indescribably horrific, something you can't tear your eyes from no matter how much your brain tells you too. It is what every horror movie should be. The fashion in which it's written is minimilistic; no excessive word play or over-description (I'm lookin' at you, Stephan King). Flawless in it's simplicity, Slights fills the reader with a sense of dread that builds up and swallows you whole before you even realize it's there. I'm not even sure how to write this review, because it left me absolutely speechless… Kaaron Warren is able to turn a terrible unlikeable character and make her break your heart without even trying."
– Opinionated? Me?
"Slights is by turns poetic, by turns mundane, and the suburban setting counterpoints the horror. The room where people go when they die is full of those people that they slighted when they were alive. It's a room that Stevie finally admits will be very, very full in her case. It's a memorable image, and makes Slights one of the best of a bunch of very, very dark (sub)urban fantasies in the tradition of Iain Banks' The Wasp Factory and John Ajvide Lindquist's Let the Right One In. Slights is sure to be an award nominee at the very least, and maybe more. It deserves to be, because it's one of the books of the year."
– Colin Harvey, Suite 101
"…what first feels like a coming-of-age story ends up being a novel about mass murder, and also, somehow, a novel about a daughter finally letting go of her father after his death… Slights displays a true knack for style and a highly imaginative vision which I look forward to seeing explored more fully in subsequent work from Kaaron Warren… The horror genre is lucky to have [a new writer] of such quality and ambition."
– Strange Horizons
"Slights is a wonderful debut novel from Warren, stylistic and uncompromising and unique."
– AS If
"Perhaps one of the most disturbing psychological horror stories imbued with withering decadence and written as a memoir. This story haunted me and froze my blood in a manner I have yet to encounter."
– Temple Library Reviews
"Sometimes I finish reading a book and I swear it's like I'm shell shocked. I'm dazed, I don't want to talk to anyone, I don't really want to listen to anyone. I feel like I'm stuck in some sort of limbo that only happens after certain stories. The thing is, it's not always the story that leaves me shell shocked, but that the story is over…"
– Bookish Ardour
"Slights, is one of those books that reaches into your core and takes something from you, whilst ultimately leaving something you really aren't sure you wanted to be left with."
– Dark Fiction Review
"Angry Robot have once again found another gem of a book."
– Tony's Thoughts

Scio Dinnerware Circa 1950's, unnamed pattern, features pink and blue florals with a "Ranson" shape. I do believe that the Scio Co bought prefinished dinnerware pieces and finished them with their own decals. Many of the Scio Co's shapes are the same as Homer Laughlin, just to name one. Such is the case with this pattern. The shape is exactly like the Virginia Rose shape of Homer Laughlin. However, this is Scio and is a nice set of dinnerware pieces...

|Streptomycin biosynthesis - Reference pathway
|Streptomycin is an aminocyclitol-aminoglycoside antibiotic produced by Streptomyces griseus. Streptomycin consists of aminocyclitol (streptidine), 6-deoxyhexose (streptose), and N-methyl-L-glucosamine moieties, which are formed by independent biosynthetic pathways. All of the moieties are derived from D-glucose. The streptidine moiety is synthesized via myo-inositol, which is then oxidized at C-1 and transaminated to give scyllo-inosamine. After phosphorylation, the compound is transamidinated by arginine. The same procedure is repeated at the C-3 position. The streptose moiety is made from D-glucose via a dTDP-glucose pathway. The exact biosynthetic route for the N-methyl-L-glucosamine moiety is unknown, though the biosynthetic gene cluster have been proposed.

Da Nang is Vietnam's fourth-largest city and the principal port in the central part of the country. It was originally known as Cho Han (the Market of the Han) later to be renamed Tourane by the French.
Da Nang is on the threshold of becoming a major destination for tourists from Europe, Australia and the United States, thanks to some unique attractions, spectacular scenery and the friendliness of the local population.
The French influence is evident in Da Nang's provincial character which dates back to the 19th century, with later history wrought by the war. It was here on the coast that the first U.S. combat troops landed on March 8, 1965. As the war progressed, Da Nang's runway was expanded to become the largest in all of Southeast Asia. Da Nang fell to the Viet Cong in March 1975; this signified South Vietnam's defeat in the war.
Despite its war-torn history, Da Nang is one of the most progressive cities in Vietnam in exploiting the country's new free-market principles. It has become one of the leaders in Vietnam in economic reforms. Tourism and foreign investments have done much to boost the local economy.
Among the city's numerous attractions is the much-touted Cham Museum, housing close to 300 Cham sculptures. Here history lovers get a glimpse into a very powerful era of Vietnam's past. Da Nang, however, may be most familiar to Americans who watched the movie Good Morning Vietnam and the popular television series China Beach. The latter immortalized a popular R&R GI resort of the Vietnam War.

Atty. Deb Olson helped us create the articles and bylaws for our new food co-op. We are very happy with the outcome. Her knowledge of other co-ops was quite useful. She was very engaged and responsive to questions. Her responses were prompt. She was willing to work within our financial constraints.
"When we founded our ESOP I was afraid that I was asking too much because of the unique provisions I wanted. I had talked to several other potential attorneys and advisors. They said "Why, and you can't do that". Deb cut through ESOP law and got our ESOP exactly like I wanted and it has worked beautifully. Deb is smart, fast, knowledgeable and efficient. I would recommend her for anyone considering employee ownership." –Bill Carris, selling owner & current board chair, Carris Reels, Inc.
UFCW members are excited to own a majority of HAC stock and are eager to work with management to achieve continued success for the company. We take seriously the responsibilities that come with ownership, representation on the board of directors, and a voice in major corporate decisions. –Ricky Burris, President, UFCW Local
Before the ESOP, we had 100% employee turnover in our Michigan and North Carolina facilities. Now that the ESOP owns the company, turnover is 20% company wide. Although many of our jobs are physically demanding, our company has become an employer of choice. –David Fitzgerald, CFO, Carris Reels
Our firm would not be the strong, participative, growing ESOP company it is today without Atty. Deborah Groban Olson's guidance over the past 15 years. When we hired Deb, our company was undergoing major changes and the employees almost lost ownership of the company. Deb helped us work through complex legal matters to make difficult, but necessary decisions. She helped labor and management understand necessary changes and took the heat out of many discussions between them which led to our current cooperative relationship. Deb's work has been thorough and prompt and she has been available to speak with us whenever needed. –Mary Landry, Board Chair, MBC Ventures, Inc.
The residents were overjoyed when we became owners of our building through the Mustard Tree Co-op. We had many challenges and believed that co-op ownership was vital to preserving our community. We were looking for an attorney who had experience and was concerned about us. Atty. Deborah Olson has always been responsive, dedicated, and thorough and cared about the needs of our members. She involved us as clients in every step of our legal work and we learned a great deal. She helped us do things the right way. She has represented us or almost 20 years and we would strongly recommend her to others. – Sheree Walton, President of Mustard Tree Cooperative
Atty. Deborah Groban Olson is an excellent attorney, whom I would recommend highly to anyone. She has kept our ESOP current with the law and helped us fix ESOP problems that occurred before we hired her, and has worked with us to develop appropriate policy changes as our ESOP has matured. When we hired her there was a lot of mistrust between labor and management. She was able to diffuse concerns about ulterior motives, by taking a professional, fact-based approach to identifying and fixing legal problems. She has also connected us to outside resources as we have diversified. –Steve Mullan, CEO, MBC Ventures, Inc.
Attorney Deborah Groban Olson leads the Community Economy Group. The Group's mission is to create a successful Metro Detroit-based, business group built on values of cooperation, commitment to community and sustainability, utilizing Metro Detroit's unique resources. They provide technical support to businesses and organizations committed to building community wealth through worker ownership or development of other community assets.
Attorney Deborah Groban Olson has specialized in creating and advising employee-owned companies and many kinds of cooperatives since 1981. Olson and team's mission is to help companies and employees by providing tools using broad equity ownership to grow sustainable businesses and communities, and to provide families with tax advantaged ownership transitions.
Best Uses of ESOPs (Employee Stock Option Plans): Sale of a family-owned business, sale of a majority interest in a company business, where payroll is a high % of operating expenses, where broad based employee ownership is desired, when a company and sellers have use for tax deductions.

Network Interfaces
If you are new in Linux, used other Unix family members or even older Linux systems, maybe this 2 questions sound familiar:
- What / Where are my network interfaces
- Where is my eth0
This article describes the network device naming scheme in modern distributions like Sabayon.
Which interfaces are available
There are multiple ways to identify the available network interfaces. The first method is using the sysfs filesystem. Sysfs exports information about devices and drivers from the kernel.
# ls /sys/class/net
This command shows for every available interface a directory. In this directory you can find a lot of interesting information. Like the mac-address:
# cat /sys/class/net/eno1/address
Or the vendor:
# cat /sys/class/net/eno1/device/vendor
If you don't want to use the sysfs method, you can use:
# sudo ip link show
Where is eth0 ?
In the example above you see the network interface eno1. What is this interface ? Or maybe you see other ones like enp2s0... It's all about "Predictable Network Interface Names" (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames).
For onboard devices the syntax is: enoX, for PCI Express it's ensX. If you have a network card with more then one port: enspXsY (p=pci slot; s=connector).
Wireless devices depend on the driver, sometimes the old wlanX interface is there, but most of the time something like: wlp3s0. Again: p=pci slot.
I don't want this
It's not for fun that this naming scheme is used. Especially in virtual environments, blade environments, servers with hotplugable network interfaces, it's difficult to identify interfaces. Even more: because the names are predictable, it's easier to create standard firewall rules.
But if you are at home, and there is nothing plugable, maybe the new device names are more difficult to remember. There is a way to go back to the old naming scheme:
# sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules

Vandersanden Group wins the Golden A' Design Award 2013 with Signa
The A' Design Award is not just any award. It is an indication of quality and excellence in design. This award ceremony is organized annually by 'A' Design Award & Competition'. It is an international award and reaches a wide design-oriented audience. Multiple prizes can be won in different categories. A jury of academics and professionals assesses the registered designs by functionality, engineering, presentation, innovation and technology.
These prestigious awards were presented on Sunday 14th of April 2013 during a gala evening in Como (Italy). Vandersanden Group is proud to be awarded the Golden A' Design Award for Signa, in the category Building Materials, Construction Components, Structures & Systems Design.
What is Signa?
Signa consists of a weather-resistant Rock panel® onto which a composition - designed by the architect - of Vandersanden brick slips is adhesively bonded. In this way projects are given a unique and striking look. The architect can now play like a virtuoso with relief, colour, format and brickwork bond - and this even in projects where a brick finishing may have initially appeared to be unfeasible.
The Signa-panel knows different mounting options. The most well-known techniques are the mounting on aluminium profiles or wood constructions. These constructions can be mounted on different substrates.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 21-year-old Palm Coast man was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on two counts of receiving child pornography over the Internet, one count of possession of child pornography, and one count of destruction of evidence.
Kamil Mezalka was arrested May 8 at his home when FBI agents searched his home.
According to a criminal complaint, FBI agents entered the home and Mezalka ignored commands to leave his bedroom. When the agents entered the bedroom, Mezalka was inside. They said he was holding a samurai sword, which he had stabbed into the side of a desktop computer.
Investigators said Mezalka ignored commands to drop the sword and the agents detained him. An examination of Mezalka's computer revealed hundreds of files depicting the sexual abuse of children, according to the complaint.
If convicted of the receipt counts, Mezalka faces five to 20 years in federal prison on each count. If convicted of the possession count, he faces up to 10 years in prison, and if convicted of destruction of evidence, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

NOTE: Originally scheduled for Friday, April 4, in Richmond, the license hearing for Dr. Roger Phillips has been "continued." The Board of Medicine was not able to provide any further information.
The Virginia Board of Medicine summarily suspended the license of Newport News family physician and pain management doctor Roger M. Phillips on Feb. 20. A notice on the door to his practice, Prime Care Family Medicine in Oyster Point, reads, "closed indefinitely due to events beyond our control."
The board concluded that "a substantial danger to the public health or safety warrants this action." It outlined the dangers in a 43-page document listing multiple complaints about alleged prescription abuses. The formal administrative hearing is scheduled for April 4 in Richmond.
"They have lots of options — the most severe would be to revoke a license. They can also suspend the license, request continuing education — there are lots of different things they can do," said Diane Powers, a spokeswoman for the Board of Medicine.
In an emailed statement, Executive Director William Harp, M.D., wrote that the board "has the statutory authority to summarily suspend the license of a physician if it finds that there is a substantial danger to the public health or safety which warrants an immediate cessation of practice. Following such action, a formal hearing is scheduled within a reasonable time of the date of the summary suspension, thereby providing the licensee with timely due process." Harp concluded that "any sanction issued will be proportionate to the violation(s)."
The statement of particulars cites 33 instances in which Phillips may have violated a section or sections of the Virginia Code.
It details Phillips' treatment of one patient for seven years, including three after she moved to Florida. It notes that "Phillips diagnosed medical conditions such as fibromyalgia/generalized chronic neuralgia … without sufficient objective evidence or diagnostic testing." It describes the inappropriate prescription of medications, including oxycodone and hydrocodone, as well as alleged failure to coordinate her care with another physician or to review her hospital records.
Board investigations involving another patient revealed "behavior which may be interpreted as romantic involvement" in addition to which Phillips allegedly fronted the chronic pain patient an interest-free loan and then hired her as a contract book-keeper to pay off the loan. Another patient recorded as having a perceived narcotics problem, was first prescribed oxycodone at a maximum dosage of 60 mg/day; three years later she was prescribed 330 mg/day though "the patient had not been diagnosed with any additional chronic, painful conditions."
A number of pharmacists, who complained of Phillips' rudeness when they called to verify prescriptions, are noted, including one who subsequently refused to fill prescriptions for his patients. Several times, the report cites the prescribing of medications "notwithstanding awareness of drug-seeking behavior and information that patient was abusing or misusing the medications." Records of many urine tests administered to patients also had unexplained results, sometimes testing negative for drugs he was prescribing, but positive for others.
In little over a year, Phillips reportedly prescribed the following drugs for a 59-year-old female patient: "3,804 dosage units of methadone, 1,902 dosage units of oxycodone, 480 dosage units of Adderall, and 540 dosage units of alprazolam for diagnoses of thoracic disc disease/displaced disc with myelopathy, lumbago, migraine headache, arthritis of the knee, medication somnolence, and anxiety/insomnia," all "without objective evidence or diagnostic testing."
According to UCompareHealth, an online health report, Phillips, 69, is a graduate of Yale University School of Medicine and has practiced medicine for more than 30 years.
Salasky can be reached by phone at 757-247-4784.

Exhibition: Manet: Portraying Life
This eagerly awaited exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts was the first ever retrospective devoted to the portraiture of Edouard Manet. Spanning this enigmatic and, at times, controversial artist's entire career Manet: Portraying Life brought together works from across Europe, Asia and the USA.
Manet's portraiture has never been explored in exhibition form, despite it forming around half of his artistic output. He painted his family, friends and the literary, political and artistic figures of the day, giving life not only to his subjects but also to Parisian society. The exhibition consisted of more than 50 works; including portraits of his most frequent sitter, his wife Suzanne Leenhoff, luminaries of the period; Antonin Proust, Émile Zola and Stéphane Mallarmé, along with scenes from everyday life revealing Manet's forward-thinking, modern approach to portraiture.
The film revealed exclusive behind-the-scenes moments of the exhibition's preparation, which normally go unseen by the public, and interwove a detailed, superbly crafted biography of Manet and 19th century Paris. Host Tim Marlow and special guests looked at the craft of one of the all-time great artists, the 'father of modern art'.

MasterCard boosted CEO Ajay Banga's pay package last year by 35 percent to $11.3 million, according to an Associated Press analysis of a regulatory filing.
The higher pay came in a year when the credit card company earned $2.8 billion, up 45 percent from a year earlier, on higher processing fees and a continued expansion in operations overseas.
The CEO's compensation was disclosed in an annual proxy filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.
Banga's salary was $983,333, up 9 percent from 2011. Most of the increase in pay came from stock awards, including stock options, valued at $7.5 million, up 52 percent.
The 53-year-old Banga, who has been CEO since 2010, also received a performance-based cash bonus of $2.5 million and perks totaling $348,000.
His total pay in 2011 was $8.3 million.
In the SEC filing, the company also announced it will hold its annual meeting on June 18, where shareholders will elect 12 directors to its board.
The AP formula calculates an executive's total compensation during the last fiscal year by adding salary, bonuses, perks, above-market interest that the company pays on deferred compensation and the estimated value of stock and stock options awarded during the year. The AP formula does not count changes in the present value of pension benefits. That makes the AP total slightly different in most cases from the total reported by companies to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The value that a company assigned to an executive's stock and option awards for 2012 was the present value of what the company expected the awards to be worth to the executive over time. Companies use one of several formulas to calculate that value. However, the number is just an estimate, and what an executive ultimately receives will depend on the performance of the company's stock in the years after the awards are granted. Most stock compensation programs require an executive to wait a specified amount of time to receive shares or exercise options.

In the previous post, I began making the case that preacher's should ditch their points (or at least the way we usually make them). So if you decide not to deluge your audience with points when you preach, what should you do instead? It's a good question. First, I must restate the simple fact that scripture does not come step-by-step, point-by-point. The entire canon forms one grand narrative. Scot McKnight's, The Blue Parakeet: Rethinking How You Read the Bible, is an excellent source to help you unearth this truth. Therefore, when you and I decide to abandon the "points-preaching model" and adopt a more narrative form, we are not losing a sacred pedagogical tool; rather we are assuming (and it is an assumption), that teaching like Jesus taught is a better model. As a Christian, I assume that everything Jesus did, He better than anyone else did. Insomuch, Jesus should be imitated whenever possible.
So, you ask, what should we do then after we ditch our pitiful points preaching? My answer, "Do what the text does."
Here's how to get started:
Assume the text(s) knows how to tell a story. When preparing your sermon try following the story of the text you're preaching and sketch it out as one would a cartoon strip. Each move of the sermon should form a picture that tells a story, or at least part of one. The sermon then moves from beginning, middle and end becoming a story itself. Obviously, the various content and genres available in scripture mean that sermons look different from one another. An orienting text such as Proverbs or James is much more hard and fast than Jesus' explanations of the Kingdom in the gospels. Sermons should reflect the nature of the text being preached. When Jesus says, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like…" the Savior is allowing for imagination, He's encouraging it. "Thou shalt not kill…" is a different kind of text, birthing a different type of sermon. Therefore, you do what the text does.
Assume relevance. Preachers prostitute the text with points when they think no one will care what the text actually says. As a matter of fact, I recently heard a preacher that I like and respect say, "I want to share 4 points with you. Now, I just made these up…" Really? What he's actually saying is, "I don't think this text is relevant to your felt needs, so I'm going to make it relevant. Therefore, I will twist and turn this text into an answer to a question." I may be naive, but I'm going to assume the text is relevant. Not all texts are relevant at all times and in the same way; that's a pastoral decision for you to make in the planning process. The idea many write sermons with is that these events happened long ago and life has changed so drastically that I must close the distance between my congregation and the Bible. Unfortunately, this move actually increases the distance and leads listeners to the unfounded belief that scripture is boring and just not for them. Any faithful Bible student knows, however, that Scripture is incredibly present. It just takes reading and faith.

Arienzo has yet to impress me.
Arienzo is part of the original Domecq family operation up the Alavesa. Although they have good access/sources of vineyards, which gives them the opportunity to produce good quality crianza and reserva wines, I also don't think they often live up the promise.
I had the privilege (albeit many years ago) to participate in the annual blending and declaration of vintage (along with some truly incredible and lifelong memorable food and wine experiences while there). The passion was there, truly; but the family consesus approach tended to lean cautiously (too cautiously, I think) to what was safe and mainstream, resulting in fairly bland and not terribly complex wine.
The consummation of the blend (then; don't know how they do it now) required key family members and business leaders to gather from all over the world, assiduously taste as many of the competitors as possible for two or three days, then spend a couple of days assessing the consitituents of the blend and putting them together over and over again in different mixtures until the agreed-upon blend was arrived at.
Since we started with 104 varying constituents, over a vast range of volume quantities and vineyards and styles, it was a daunting (but fun) task. And was a superb learning experience for yours truly. But it wasn't staged to acheive "the best of the best'---it was done to create a dependable commercial product: safe but not exciting.
And Joe Perry is young, and he wants excitement! He wants drama!! He wants to reach the heights!!!

Floridahunters planning to hunt deer, moose or elk out of state this year need to be aware of certain laws and regulations aimed at preventing chronic wasting disease (CWD) from entering our state.
CWD is a contagious, neurological disease that has been found in captive and wild cervids (white-tailed deer, mule deer, moose and elk) within 22 states, two Canadian provinces and in South Korea. The disease causes degeneration of the brains of infected animals, resulting in emaciation, abnormal behavior, loss of bodily functions and death. There is no known evidence that CWD can be transmitted to livestock or humans.
The disease has been detected in New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Michigan, Virginia, Missouri, North Dakota, Maryland and Texas. It has also been detected in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada, and in South Korea.
Hunters need to know that it is against the law to bring into Florida whole carcasses of any cervid from any of the above-listed areas. The purpose of this measure is to prevent CWD from being brought into the state. The infective agent, called a prion, can be accidentally deposited into the environment, where it can persist for years and can infect other deer. Many states have a prohibition similar to Florida�s in place.
It is OK, however, to bring into Florida deboned meat and finished taxidermy mounts, tanned hides, cleaned skulls, antlers and teeth from any of these places, as long as all soft tissue has been removed.
If anyone sees a sickly, extremely skinny deer (see photo at MyFWC.com/CWD), he or she should report its location to the toll-free CWD hotline: 866-293-9282. Hunters who harvest such a deer should not handle it but call the CWD hotline.
For more information about CWD or this rule, visit MyFWC.com/CWD. The website also provides links to wildlife and health agencies with more in-depth information about the disease.
