Charles A. Magnette
August 20, 1926 - March 2, 2014
Sacred Heart Catholic Church-Appleton
222 East Fremont Street
Saturday 3/8, 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Saturday 3/8, 11:00 am
537 N. Superior Street
On Sunday March 2, 2014, with his family by his side, Charles Andrew Magnette peacefully passed away after struggling with Alzheimer's for over seven years.
While his memories slowly faded away, ours of him will remain in our hearts forever!
He was born on August 20, 1926 in Sister Bay, Wisconsin to Andrew and Amanda (Des Jardin) Magnette. On November 3, 1951, he married Evelyn Nelson sharing almost 63 years of making memories together.
For over 28 years Charlie worked for the city of Appleton, starting as Building Inspector and retiring as the Director of Inspections. He was a man of integrity and honesty, instilling these values in his children and grandchildren. A carpenter by trade, he would fix anything and everything until his illness took that ability away. He found joy in nature, always marveling at the beauty of the clouds in the sky, the colors of the leaves in the fall, and the sounds of the waves while sailing the waters of Door County.
Charlie is survived by his wife Evelyn, his daughters Geralyn (Richard) Marion; Patricia (Dennis) Long; grandchildren, Adam (Jennifer) Paiser; Melissa (Daniel) Blaylock; Katie (Andrew) Byram and Brianna Marion; Allison (Justin) Pease; Daniel, Andrew and Patrick Long: step-grandchildren, Jeffrey Long and Bernadette and Michelle Marion and 11 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his sisters, Virginia (Roy) Kinsey, Grace (Richard) Wilke and Helen Kinney, a special nephew, Charlie Kinsey, other relatives and friends.
The funeral liturgy will be held on Saturday, March 8, 2014 at 11:00 AM at SACRED HEART CATHOLIC CHURCH, 222 E. Fremont St. with Fr. Don Zuleger officiating. Visitation will be held on Saturday from 9:00 AM until the time of the mass at church.
Online condolences may be expressed at www.wichmannfargo.com. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts can be made to "Cure Alzheimer's Fund" at the Alzheimer's Disease Research Foundation.
A Father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way! We love you!

Chuck hired me as a building inspector with the City of
Appleton. I worked with him for the last few years of his career. He was a man of honesty and integrity who had the highest regard for fairness in his
dealings with citizens and staff. I have nothing but the fondest memories of
the time I worked with him. My condolences to his family.
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Jamie and I only saw Chuck a few times, when he came to Florida to visit. Chuck and I spent a morning together about six years ago, getting a car repaired. What an elegant man. I loved his sense of humor. He reminded me a lot of my father. As long as we remember, they're not gone. We just can't hug them.

Q: Socket.Select with PowerShell gives error I am attempting to write a TCP server with PowerShell.
It seems to work fine up to the Select call:
$clients = @()
$socket = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.Socket([System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily]::InterNetwork, [System.Net.Sockets.SOcketType]::Stream, [System.Net.Sockets.ProtocolType]::Tcp)
$socket.Bind((New-Object System.Net.IPEndPoint ([system.net.ipaddress]::any, $port)))
$socket.Listen(10)
$clients += $socket
[System.Net.Sockets.Socket]::Select($clients, $null, $null, -1)

this gives the following error message:
The operation is not allowed on objects of type System.Management.Automation.PSObject. Use only objects of type System.Net.Sockets.Socket.

I assume this is because of PowerShell wrapping up its objects? Just not sure why it fails with Select where it succeeds elsewhere, or how to get around it.
Thanks!

A: Yes, PowerShell has a tendency to wrap objects especially in V2 IIRC.  Create a List specifically e.g.:
$clients = new-object System.Collections.Generic.List[System.Net.Sockets.Socket]
...
$clients.Add($socket)
[System.Net.Sockets.Socket]::Select($clients, $null, $null, -1)

You could also try a cast e.g.:
[System.Net.Sockets.Socket]::Select([System.Collections.IList]$clients, $null, $null, -1)

2016 Game of the Year Awards — Achievement Awards — Most Disappointing Game
Posted in: 2016, Game of the Year Awards.	Leave a comment
I can't remember a year where there were so many disappointments, not just bad games. So many developers had promised such great products only to reveal a pile of garbage. Might No. 9 is pretty far up there as being a Kickstarter that saw many delays only to become the worst Mega Man game ever made. Star Fox Zero was the first console Star Fox game since the GameCube and turned into a heap of crap. Homefront: The Revolution took the gritty and gripping atmospheric story of the first game and stream rolled it. The Division was supposed to be a unique online multiplayer shooter but became a mediocre and repetitive Destiny clone. Lastly, No Man's Sky takes the whole pie.
While I personally despise the survival genre, No Man's Sky showed some promise to bring meaning and a thoughtful experience to the genre. What we were promised was an unlimited universe with procedurally generated planets that were expansive and massive. We're talking about an actual digital universe, but what we got was the complete opposite. We're talking about hundreds of alien species and vast rivers and oceans. What we got was a big fat nothing and the biggest issue was that it was shown in trailers. Yes, trailers seen by millions of people, and then when the game drops all that content is nowhere to be seen. It's nearly criminal.

Senate Begins investigation into mysterious deaths on Bonny Island
Senate Begins investigation into mysterious deaths, the upper house has mandated its Committee on Health (Primary and Communicable Disease) to meet with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) following the number of mysterious deaths recorded in Bonny Island, Rivers State.
The upper chamber while urging the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management through the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to provide life materials to the people of Bonny Island, mandated the Committee on Environment to meet with the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA) to ensure the reduction of marine pollution of all kinds.
These formed part of resolutions reached by the Senate following consideration of a motion on the urgent need to intervene in the mysterious deaths in Bonny Island.
Sponsor of the motion, Senator Betty Apiafi (PDP – Rivers West) lamented that in the last week of March 2020, "there were incidents of large quantities of dead fish around the Bonny-Andoni shores and several other coastal communities along the Atlantic shoreline in the Niger Delta region stretching from Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa Ibom, and the Ondo States."
According to the lawmaker, "less than six weeks later, mysterious deaths have been occurring in Bonny Island in Rivers State and is reported to have claimed about 13 (thirteen) lives."
Apiafi in her presentation disclosed that "officials of the Rivers State Ministry of Health and Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) have collected samples in Bonny Island, Rivers State to determine what's is responsible for the strange occurrence which some defined the symptoms to include loss of the sense of smell, taste, fever, weakness, vomiting and stooling."
She added that while Bonny is home to various multinational oil companies, "reports have shown that 60 percent of COVID-19 patients in Rivers State are oil saff."
The lawmaker noted further that Bonny Island is a major export point in the oil and gas industry, as it hosts the single largest gas investment in the country, the Nigerian Liquified Natural Gas (NLNG) Plant.
Apiafi lamented that "despite the significant contribution of Bonny to the national economy as a major revenue source for the nation, the island can only be accessed by boats and ferries as there is no link road connecting the island to other parts of Rivers State and Nigeria. The island also lacks adequate medical facilities."
She expressed worry that "due to the challenge of transportation and communication, it is usually difficult to get help or even access medical facilities in Port-Harcourt or other parts of the country."
The lawmaker warned that "if the health issues are not contained, it could affect the residents and workforce of the International Oil Companies (IOCs) as well as the economy of the country, and could spread from there to other parts of the country especially in this global pandemic."

Do you have a morning routine? Part of my morning routine is that I wake up, go into the kitchen, make myself a cup of coffee, then sit on the couch to work on my blog. This is pretty much how I start every morning whether it's a work day or I'm off.
This is a good routine and it allows me to get a lot of work done but in the summer it's a little hot to be drinking coffee in the morning. I still need my morning caffeine kick but I'd rather have a cold coffee then a hot one. In the past I've made a basic iced coffee where I brew a cup of coffee, pour it over top of ice, and sweeten it with sweetened condensed milk. It's a quick and easy way to make an iced coffee.
Since I'm off for the summer I've been getting a little more creative with my iced coffee. I no longer have 1 hour between the time I wake up and the time I leave for work so I can experiment with my morning beverage. I've been playing around with a cinnamon iced coffee, a caramel iced coffee, and this incredible S'mores Iced Coffee.
I'm sharing the S'mores Iced Coffee first because it's fun and pretty outrageous as far as iced coffee goes. It's not something I would drink every day because of the sweetness and calorie content but it's certainly fun every now and then when I need a pick me up during the day or something sweet to start off my morning.
The coffee itself is a simple mocha iced coffee. Then it's topped off with whipped cream, marshmallow bits, and graham cracker crumbs. It only takes minutes to make and it looks pretty awesome. I took a big sip and was super happy with how it turned out. This would be a fun beverage for a dessert party or a brunch.
Sweeten up your morning with a tasty Mocha Iced Coffee topped with marshmallows, whipped cream, and graham crackers.
Put the ice cubes in a tall heat safe tumbler.
Pour the hot coffee over top of the ice cubes. Add the chocolate syrup and mix until combined. Add additional ice if needed.
Spray the whipped cream on top of the coffee then sprinkle with the mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs.
Stick a straw in the iced coffee and enjoy!

PITTSBURGH – Naudia Jonassaint, M.D., M.H.S., assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, has been appointed as the Department of Medicine's first vice chair for diversity and inclusion. Jonassaint, who also is the medical director of clinical hepatology at UPMC Presbyterian, will work to develop new initiatives and programs to enhance diversity and inclusion across the department.
"We are delighted to have Dr. Jonassaint in this new role, leading us in our commitment to building an environment of excellence that is diverse and inclusive. She is a gifted physician and leader, exemplified by her stewardship of many clinical and educational initiatives at UPMC and her very successful role as director of clinical hepatology," said Mark T. Gladwin, M.D., Jack D. Myers Professor and chair of medicine at Pitt's School of Medicine.
In her role, Jonassaint will work with other department leaders and faculty to enhance residency and fellowship recruitment, retention and advancement. She also will focus on efforts to promote the recruitment and retention of diverse faculty into the Pitt Department of Medicine, and work with leaders across the wider institution on community building and engagement initiatives to foster an environment of diversity and inclusivity.
"Diversity in health care improves access to care, leads to better outcomes and experiences for both patients and physicians, and enriches the academic environment," said Jonassaint. "I'm honored to have been appointed to this role."
Jonassaint was recruited to the University of Pittsburgh in 2014 to join the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition. She earned a bachelor's degree in Biology and in Hispanic and Italian studies with honors from Johns Hopkins University in 1999. She then attended the Yale School of Medicine and completed a thesis focused on the black-white achievement gap. Jonassaint returned to Johns Hopkins where she completed her internal medicine training, chief residency, and gastroenterology and transplant hepatology fellowships. During her time there, she served on the Diversity Council, the Residency Selection Committee and the Council for Women in Medicine. She also received a Master of Health Sciences degree from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where she studied disparities in liver transplant outcomes. Her subsequent research continued a focus on transplant outcomes and post-transplant Hepatitis C treatment.
More recently, Jonassaint has taken on several leadership positions at the University of Pittsburgh, including her 2017 appointment as medical director of the section of hepatology. She has led initiatives to meet value metrics and quality outcomes in hepatology at UPMC. In addition, Jonassaint has served on the UPMC Presbyterian clinical executive committee, functioned as the clinical lead on quality and safety initiatives in hepatology, and is serving on the residency and fellowship selection committees.
Throughout her career, Jonassaint has been committed to clinical and research excellence and has exhibited a passion for teaching and mentoring. She was awarded the gastroenterology fellowship teaching award in 2017 by the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition in Pitt's Department of Medicine and serves on the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases Diversity Committee.

A new antisemitism?The Canadian Charger
The Interparliamentary Coalition to Combat Antisemitism (ICCA) met in Ottawa last November with substantial funding from the Harper's government. While considerable attention was paid to the so-called "new" antisemitism, there was confusion as to the distinction between "old" and "new" and ambiguity about the difference-if any-between antisemitism and opposition to Israeli policies or to Israel itself.

I am a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW) and the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. For a number of years I worked in the field of social assistance, leaving a position as a supervisor with the Ottawa Ontario Works agency in 1999. Since then I have assisted people appealing denial of ODSP. I was the principal author of the OASW briefs to the Social Assistance Review Committee (SARC), which issued its report in 1988.
My New Year resolution Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
On December 7, 2010 Muslims marked a new Islamic year, the year 1432 A.H. and the world marked a new 2011 year last Saturday. It is not a tradition among Muslims to make a New Year resolution. But the practice does not do any harm, and it can do a lot of good.

One year after I adopted my new year's resolution at the beginning of 2010, I have not eaten one bite of meat or poultry. I am not a vegan; I still eat fish, cheese, eggs and milk products. My health is much better and I feel good about saving the animals from suffering and the planet from the pollution of industrial animal-farming.

Wilder Foundation on United Way COVID Funding: "We're Trying to Make Everyone Feel Supported" Amherst H. Wilder Foundation
Amherst H. Wilder Foundation was established in 1906 to support the well-being of the people of Saint Paul. Today, the foundation combines direct services, research, and community building to improve lives today and for generations to come. Their services support mental wellness, housing stability, early childhood development, community engagement, and more.
Recently, Wilder applied for and received emergency second and third round grants
from the Greater Twin Cities COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund to address critical needs and help underserved populations.
"Greater Twin Cities United Way has been a longtime supporter of ours, and we were so excited to receive the funding," said Lindsay Bacher, Director of Program Development at Amherst H. Wilder Foundation. "We knew we'd be able to put it to good use- there are a lot of needs in the community right now and the United Way funding matches up with those needs."
Wilder is using the emergency grants from the Greater Twin Cities COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund to run their Meals on Wheels program, provide supportive services to community members, and keep their sites clean and sanitized.
Wilder's Meals on Wheels program currently serves about 120 older adults as well as adults who need extra support in the community. For safety reasons, Wilder switched from frequent deliveries to bringing a week's worth of meals one time, with check-in phone calls between visits to maintain connection.
"During a pandemic, there's an increased likelihood of isolation, so we're trying to make sure everyone feels supported," said Bacher. "It's a scary time for people, and we can't take away the scary part of this, but we can make it less isolating."
In addition to the Meals on Wheels program, Amherst H. Wilder is also providing extra support to families in their programs who have lost jobs or hours at work due to the pandemic. Case managers are dropping off everything from groceries to cleaning supplies to diapers as well as helping parents navigate teaching their kids at home.
"We're grateful for Greater Twin Cities United Way's support during the pandemic, which has allowed us to respond to the families we serve with resources and care," said Bacher. "It's also helpful that United Way made this funding available in a flexible way because needs can change! It's been a partnership to figure out priorities and react quickly."
Take Action: To help, donate to the Greater Twin Cities COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund at gtcuw.org/covid19 or by texting GTCUWCOVID19 to 51555.

La mosquée Al-Rifa'i ou mosquée royale (en arabe : مسجد الرفاعى) est une mosquée située au Caire, en Égypte. De style néo-mamelouk, elle jouxte la mosquée du sultan Hassan, dont elle n'est séparée que par une étroite rue piétonne. Si elle semble présenter un lien de parenté avec sa voisine, ce n'est qu'une illusion, car cinq siècles séparent les deux constructions. Cette construction massive, aux murs ocre et aux minarets effilés, abrite les tombeaux des khédives et des rois d'Égypte, mais aussi celui du dernier shah d'Iran, réfugié en Égypte après le triomphe de la révolution islamique de 1979.

Historique

La mosquée Al-Rifa'i voit le jour à la fin du , et s'inscrit dans une campagne de modernisation des infrastructures cairotes (percement de nouvelles avenues, création de quartiers « à l'européenne », construction de nouveaux bâtiments). Le sanctuaire, qui se dresse à l'emplacement de l'ancienne zaouïa Al-Rifa'i (du nom de Cheikh Ahmad al-Rifa'i, mystique musulman du Moyen Âge), est une commande de la mère du khédive Ismaïl, Khoshiar Hanem, qui imagine à la fois un lieu de prière et un mausolée pour la famille royale. Les travaux, confiés au célèbre architecte Hussein Fahmi Pacha, commencent en 1869 mais sont freinés par la mort de l'architecte, l'abdication du khédive (1879) et la mort de Khoshiar Hanem (1885). Le chantier ne reprend pas avant 1905, sous la direction de l'architecte autrichien Max Herz, chef du Comité pour la conservation des monuments arabes du Caire. Les minarets se dressent dans le ciel du Caire à partir de 1909, et la mosquée est achevée en 1911. Elle est ouverte au culte l'année suivante, en 1912.

Le sanctuaire épouse la forme d'un vaste rectangle de 1767 mètres carrés. Reprenant une partie de la grammaire stylistique mamelouke, il ne néglige cependant pas les emprunts à l'architecture européenne. L'intérieur, divisé en trois vaisseaux par une série de piles massives rectangulaires portant des arcs en ogives, s'articule autour d'un dôme. Les murs, couverts de stucs et de marbre, sont percés de baies agrémentées de moucharabieh aux savants entrelacs. La mosquée abrite les sépultures de plusieurs souverains égyptiens, dont le roi Farouk, dernier roi d'Égypte, mort en exil à Rome (1965).

La mosquée abrite aussi le tombeau du dernier shah d'Iran, Mohammed Reza Shah, également mort en exil peu après la prise de pouvoir de l'ayatollah Khomeini au cours de la révolution islamique (1980). Les restes de son père, Reza Shah, fondateur de la dynastie des Pahlavi, sont eux aussi inhumés dans le sanctuaire. Ils reposaient auparavant dans un monumental mausolée à Téhéran, mais ont été transportés en Égypte avant la victoire des fondamentalistes chiites, qui firent dynamiter son mausolée peu de temps après. La mosquée conserve par ailleurs les restes de plusieurs mystiques musulmans, Ahmad al-Rifa'i et Ali Abi-Shubbak.

Parmi les éléments de mobilier remarquables figurent une dikka (estrade) en albâtre, portée par huit fines colonnes, un minbar en bois ouvragé et albâtre et plusieurs lustres aux dessins complexes.

Brace yourself, Northern Virginia– Shake Shack has landed. At 11 a.m. Monday, the NYC burger slingers' fifth Washington, D.C. area location opened on the brand new plaza at Tysons Corner, bringing the ShackBurger to the commonwealth for the very first time. Burger Days was on hand for the beefy inauguration, as hordes of shoppers and nearby office workers descended upon the joint, filling the space to capacity at lunchtime. Nestled in the corner of the outdoor plaza, the first thing we noticed about the location is the size– it's tiny. The newest Shack is far smaller than both the DuPont and K Street restaurants, seating just 18 inside with space for another 50 on the patio. "It reminds me of the original Shake Shack in Madison Square Park," VP of Operations Zach Koff tells Burger Days (the first-ever Shack is a small kiosk with no indoor seating at all). Given its unique location – at a shopping mall and steps from the Metro's new Silver Line – Koff says he expects the "to-go" market to be big at Tysons with people eating outside on the terrace, walking around the mall or riding on the train. And what kind of fries will come along side those burgers on the run? After last Friday's news that Shake Shack would be reverting back to the beloved crinkle cuts this November, we figured we had a few more months of fresh-cuts to deal with before the switch. Imagine our surprise when we rolled up to find tray after tray of zig-zagging spuds basking in the sun. Yes, Virginia, CRINKLES ARE HERE. Koff tells us both decisions – the initial switch last year and the latest reversal – weren't easy but in the end it was clear: the people love crinkles.
Good thing they came to their senses and brought back the crinkle cuts. Properly frying fresh potatoes isn't something you can teach someone in 20 minutes. Crinkle cuts provide a consistent experience, but try telling that to people who think "fresh" fries are automagically the super most bestest. I'm gonna celebrate with some wings & mambo sauce and FROZEN CRINKLE CUT FRIES.

Katie Holmes is the lucky star chosen to take the lead role in the feature film, The Secret. The Secret is rumored to be one of the best movies of the year 2018 because it is based on the best-selling book by the famous writer, Rhonda Byrne, and this is directed by Andy Tennant and produced by Robert Cort. The Secret starts with a hardworking young widow who has three children and hires a handyman to fix her home during a terrible storm. As the handyman talks he becomes closer to the family, he shares his philosophy about life, and he believes that the universe is indeed powerful to deliver what we want, and the widow soon realizes that he carries a secret that is connected to her past. This movie of Katie Holmes embodies the in-depth principles of the book, and the producer intends to make this film emotional, endearing, and funny and full of hope.
The Secret written by Rhonda Byrne actually sold over 30 million copies worldwide, and what's amazing about it is that the story was translated into 50 different languages. The Secret is based on the law of attraction, believing that the universe will provide what you want as long as you believe. The basic principle of the Law of Attraction is the ability to attract whatever we want into our lives through great focus and belief regardless of nationality, religious belief, or age. The Law of Attraction involves the power of the mind, translating whatever is in our thoughts and making them a reality. We all have an idea about the Law of attraction, wherein negative thoughts result in negative outcomes, while positive thoughts result in positive outcomes. Besides everything we see, like buildings, landmarks, artwork, and landscape gardens are all the result of man's imagination. The Law of Attraction involves making human magnets attract good thoughts and emotions.
Many of us are blind about the Law of Attraction, and we overlook the things we think play a crucial role in our life's events. It is important to be aware of the great impact of the Law of attraction in our lives, being aware that our mind is so powerful that can turn our thoughts to reality. The Secret is a must watched-movie that everyone should see, helping unlock the great secrets of the Law of Attraction for a better and brighter future, and a new life perspective circling around positivity. Are you ready for the new changes in your life brought about by the Law of Attraction? You'll find answers to life's mysteries by watching the movie, The Secret.

You may have gone to the challenges of film school and now you want to show the world what you can do. Getting into the business can be the biggest challenge one might encounter. It is not that easy to gain access into the industry. But you can find solace to gain access via the back door by becoming a film producer. A producer is a person that has a lot of clout. A producer is the one that starts and end a project. Films like those produced by Ivanhoe Pictures will not be shown without a producer. If you love to watch movies from Ivanhoe Pictures, you can thank the producers for that. It is important to understand what producers to in movies made by Ivanhoe Pictures.
It is not easy to produce movies by Ivanhoe Pictures. But if you do it right, it can boost your career. It is an easy task to ask but it can be complicated. Even established directors, often, produce movies too. Ivanhoe Pictures have movies that are made by the same people who may direct and produce it the same time. In a way helping produce can also discover talent for films made by Ivanhoe Pictures. The business can discover new talents and get them into the business.
We are able to make movies in film school. We know how a film is made, but the reality it is more complicated than that. As the film is in production, the producer is the one that oversees the production. The producer makes it sure the movie doesn't go over budget. The producer will also make sure the movie is in schedule. Longer production means that you need to spend more money. It is important to keep the budget low to maximize the profits. This the primary role of a producer. It is expensive to produce a movie. You need to manage it well and get much out of it. Producers need to do these in order to keep the industry alive. Once going over budget, producers may have to cover the cost of the film. It is possible the movie might not get shown if the producers fail.
Producers are the ones responsible in raising the budget. They often engage in fund raising. It can be in a form of a loan or to have people contribute via crowdsourcing. This is a huge deal.
In movie making, marketing is the least thing people realize as important. A movie will not sell without proper marketing. Even with a small budget, marketing can help bring more money to the movie. The marketing of the movie will not happen without the help of a producer. Success in the movie industry is all about having the total control. Better success comes with better control.

Probably the most child friendly hotel in Las Vegas is the Circus Circus hotel with its very own theme park, the adventuredome.
The adventuredome is also open to public not staying at the hotel and there is free parking.
The theme park is surprisingly large considering it is in a hotel but then in Las Vegas hotels anything is possible! There are 25 rides and attractions with something for all ages.
It is free to get into the adventuredome. As we entered we had to have our picture taken against a green screen and then we were shown pictures of us with various backgrounds. We weren't pressured to buy them but we had the option.
Wristbands seem to be the best value at £32.95 for a regular pass and £18:95 for a junior pass. You can also pay for individual rides.
Kids under 33 inches ride 3 of the smaller rides for free if accompanied by a paying companion 48 inches or over.
There are arcade areas, including one where you pay an entry price then get unlimited goes on the games.
Amongst other non ride attractions there is a Batman Lazer challenge, climbing and even mini golf.
You will find everything here from gift shops, face painting and sweets to having a model made of your head!
If you are visiting Vegas with kids then I would budget to visit here at least once during your stay. The best part is if you don't ride you don't pay!
Taking a child with an ASD to the adventuredome at circus circus?
Morning is the best time to visit as it is least busy. The queues are not long at this time.
Getting through the hotel to the adventuredome could prove problematic as the hotel is very busy with large casinos, shops and people everywhere.
For more information on the Adventuredome you can email: AdomeEvents@circuscircus.com.

I'm so happy Selma is doing well. She must not bea happy camper being awake with the breathing tube in. Hopefully she won't remember any of it.
Please give her my best and let her know we're all here rooting for her.
Thanks for posting her updates.
Selma, once you're packed and out the door, the reality sets in, and yet the calmness is also there. You will do great tomorrow and I'll be thinking of you and praying for you! Keep us posted, and keep those ice chips close by!!! Chose the chair if they give you a choice, and walk as soon as you can!
By now you are in the city and tomorrow will dawn before you know it. Hope you read this before you go in. Sure hope you get it over with tomorrow, you are so ready. My thoughts and prayers are with you on this.
Good luck tomorrow and I hope you don't get bumped as it sounds like you are really all set for surgery; both physically and mentally. I'll be watching for updates on you.
I just found out that my surgery which was scheduled for June 12 has been cancelled. The doctor's office manager said she was sorry but that she scheduled me for a tuesday and he never has the OR on Tuesdays. What kind of nonsense is this???? She has been his mgr. for many years too and she's just now finding out that he doesn't do surgery on Tuesdays....yikes.Where are you going and who is your doctor? Maybe I need to try another doctor.
Selma Kaplan Oh, Joan, how disappointing. I'd flip out if I was cancelled like that. And how bizarre that the staff didn't know about Tuesdays. Sheesh!
I'm at Mt. Sinai with Dr. David Adams. He's highly recommended.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers, but know everything will be just fine.
Selma, Just want to wish you good luck tomorrow. You will do great and be on the otherside of the mountain. I hear it is beautiful there. Prayers are with you and good luck.
By this time next week you will be starting to think about getting home.
You go get 'em girl! You will do great! Will keep you in my prayers!
Best of luck to you Selma.
You have a wonderful attitude. You'll do great!
Wow, it is finally here!!!! You are going to do great Selma, for sure! I am so glad the calm has settled in. You will be in great hands, literally!!!! Can't wait to hear from you on the other side of surgery.
Selma Kaplan Thanks, Kate. I'm so touched by all the prayers heading my way...and right back atcha for next week. We're leaving for the city soon. In 24 hours or so, this will be all behind me!
Selma Kaplan I am so hoping to follow in your footsteps! And man, am I ever READY!
Selma Kaplan Honey, you've got me beat!! Your noon extravaganza sounds like heaven. I am clearly living in the wrong state! We're up next.....yahoo!
You are going to do fine! You have a great outlook and motivation, great sense of humor! Don't take very much with you to the hospital, you won't need it. The first day will be the worst, but after that it will get so much better. I don't remember anything about the tube being removed. Dry mouth was my biggest complaint.
Selma Kaplan Yeah, I hear I'll be begging for ice chips! I was sitting here thinking, "Will I need underwear?" and remembered the Foley catheter. I guess that's a "no." I get the picture on not bringing too much to the hospital. I'll probably leave everything with Stewart and request what I need as the days pass and I feel better. "Oh, dear, when you come in later, can you bring me the cappuccino machine?"
Selma, you're surprised that this still seems "unreal"? Wait until the morning of surgery! I think that may have been one reason I was so calm...I felt like I was watching someone else make a movie or something. But...the good news is...when you wake up and realize IT'S OVER....nothing (and I mean nothing) feels better! You will be fine! You are in my thoughts and prayers.
You've been an awesome HVS ambassador. I've been reading your journal since the day I got here and hope to be able to share messages like this with the people coming up next. I saw a picture of a patient in the ICU, still all doped up, but with a "thumbs up." That's what I'm aiming for. Thanks again.
So pre-op is done and off our check list, and wow yeah it's really hitting home, this is really going to happen.....Other than getting stuck twice for the blood draw everything was pretty routine for them at least. Did they give you some special stuff to wash with the night before surgery?? They did for me I have to use it the night before and then again that morning, it smells like the hospital. I learned at least one good thing and that is they will pre-numb before starting the IV which is a major relief.
I really hope I'm back on to send you off be good wishes but just in case you go Rock your surgery and we'll be back on soon enough to share our battle stories. I definitely will say a prayer for you!!!
Selma Kaplan Guess it's too late to change our minds, huh?
Already dropped a note in your Guestbook but wanted to check in here, too. You might have to take your nail polish off if you got some (they need to be able to see your nail-beds) but I love the idea of you having a great, relaxing day with your daughter.
Yep, I got the sponges for the night before and the morning of. I just left them with my friend in New York, she'll stash them for me and I'll retrieve them when I get back to the city.
Hi Selma. Wow! Getting close now. You are going to rock this, for sure!!!! Hope you got some Katz's on you pre-op visit today. Best of luck to you. You can and will do this. For sure!!!!
Selma Kaplan Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mitch. 99.9% of the time I know I'm gonna rock it. It's that other .1% that gets me. No Pastrami this trip; that's going to be my reward when I'm sprung!
Just want to say hello again and best wishes... Hang tough... we will be just fine in Dr. Adams' care. God Bless, Kate R.
I hope I'll be posting myself again before your surgery next Friday but regardless I pray your recovery is speedy and uneventful....I'm there with you my surgery friend and WE ARE GONNA ROCK!!!!
Selma Kaplan I love it -- my personal cheerleader!! Let's write after our pre-ops. Just found out another HVJer and I are having our surgery with Dr. Adams on the same day. That'll be nice.
Needless to say, I'll be thinking of you on your big day and sending my prayers south to Texas!
Wow Selma I am scheduled for May 11 too. Will get the chance to meet you.... Fortunate for you that you have your Mom....I lost my Mom back in 1992 Being an only daughter it has bee rough...But god has been mu source through it all. You where right Dr Adams is an creditably gracious man.
Selma Kaplan Wow is right! I think I said right when you first posted that we might end up being roommates. Looks like we'll at least be hall-mates. Looking forward to meeting you.
Selma, you have a great sense of humor and that is going to help you recover all the faster! I know it's kind of weird getting your living will done, but hey, it needed to be done anyway, right? I'm one week post op today, and feeling better every day. I'm hoping like you, that I'll have so much more energy once I'm fully recovered! Stay strong!
Selma Kaplan Hey, Holly -- I've been watching your progress and am thrilled at how well you are doing. We'd BETTER have more energy once we're recovered -- otherwise it'll mean we're just getting old!
Glad to hear you told your mother.
Selma Kaplan I know this sounds weird, but I won't mind if she forgets about it -- that will mean she's not worrying!
Gottcha, I got my anuersym from my Dad except mine is in a different spot. My daughter got the aortic stnosis from him and now her daughter of 8 years old has a bicupsed aortic valve. Arent fathers wonderful lol? Except my Dad had Wofe White Parkinson syndrome but I knew the heart problems ran in his family.
Selma Kaplan Yup. The *good* thing is, he lived to 92, heart problems and all. Hope I inherited his genes as well as his weird anatomy!
Hi Selma, Don't worry about family not being there, I'm sure they will be there in spirit, and you also have a family with HJV. You said you have been thinking a lot about your Dad. You know what I think? I think he is looking down on you and he is supporting you. Good luck to you.
You and I are pretty well in the same boat. I have my pre-op tommorrow and the surgery on the 14th of May.
Keep thinking positive! The drugs will make the harder parts of your journey difficult to remember and the next thing you know it will be time to go home!
Selma Kaplan Yep, I'll be on the other side of it when you are going in for your surgery. Good luck to you, too!
Selma Kaplan I'm trying to guess who wrote this. Paul?
Ix-nay on the eeze-snay. I'll remember that.
Hi Selma, sounds like you are experiencing similar thoughts that I have, and all of us have had! One of my fears is the by-pass machine, I have heard stories about them....and getting the chest tubes removed. I'll make it through and so will you! Praying for you as you prepare for the week ahead!
Selma Kaplan Thanks, Holly -- These random concerns kind of fly by and then I'm fine. I just keep reminding myself about how many people here have these surgeries and do just fine. Like WE WILL!
I never said the word OHS.
But again I'd love to help if I can.
I met Jane p & Mitch. Great folks.
Selma Kaplan Hey there, you -- I know, I know. :-) I'd say at this point I'm around 98% A-OK and 2% twitchy. But I'll be fine. Will give you a shout later.
I would tell your mom now. You will feel much better.
Yes, you can have coffee but I had no desire for it after surgery. All I wanted was water.
The fridge could definitely be a problem for a few days but won't you have someone with you for a few days?
I do not even remember the breathing tube. By the time I was conscious, the tube was out.
It is not nearly as bad as the anticipation of the surgery.
Selma Kaplan Thanks, Jan. Yep, I'm gonna tell my mother this week. I'm sure I can present it in a way that won't freak her out.
We ARE getting close, aren't we.
1.) Tell your mom. You will feel better.
2.) the fridge door might be a problem. I found all doors quite painful to open for awhile.
3.). Everything will work out. If it doesn't get done before your surgery, oh well. It will still be there when you feel good again.
4). The breathing tube isn't in that long, so don't sweat it. And it only takes about two seconds (literally) to get it out. It wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined it to be.
Selma Kaplan Everyone who is having or has had the surgery is counseling me to tell my mother -- it's only the people who haven't who are saying not to. Strange, that. Thanks, Deb. It's true, what we imagine is often so much worse than what actually is!
I have a friend who never told her mother she had breast cancer, but I do NOT think that's the way to go. Even at 90 I would be upset if one of my boys didn't tell me about a surgery.
My surgery was on a wed. and on Friday morning they let me have coffee. I did get a decaf, but it was still soooo good. They would have let me have regular, which seems odd to me. Then again, the girl across the hall from me (probably mid 30's) in the hospital had a valve repair also. One morning I heard them telling her that her blood sugar kept coming back high. About 15 minutes later the guy from food service came around and she ordered a sandwich on white bread, a coke, and a chocolate layer cake for lunch!!! Seriously! You have to be your own advocate nutritionally I guess.
I am extremely claustrophobic, and was worried about the breathing tube. I had told myself to stay calm and just go back to sleep if it was still in, but it really didn't bother me. Breathing felt normal, and I didn't want to move anyway. When I woke up I was so happy to see my husband and know it was over, that the various tubes weren't an issue.
It will all be over before you know it!
Selma Kaplan Thanks, Kerry. It's amazing what hospitals will let heart patients eat. I read somewhere there's a McDonald's right in the Cleveland Clinic! Go figure.
You've got to tell your mother! Just do it...get it off your chest. My 87 yo mother has memory issues. I think sometimes she forgets I'm having surgery and then remembers when I bring it up.
You'll be surprised at how resourceful you can be when faced with a challenge and nothing but time to help figure it out. When I had wrist surgery I bought a jar of roasted red peppers and was all set to make myself a grilled cheese with peppers...until I realized I only had one hand and couldn't open the jar! I sat there and stared at it until I figured out I could hold it between my feet and open it with my good hand. You'll figure out a way around your fridge door if you stop and think instead of worry. You can do it!
Selma Kaplan The votes have been counted and 100% of you all say to tell my mother! I'd pretty much already decided to do so, just haven't figured out exactly when.
Hi Selma, YES! I had coffee when they decided I could have liquids. That first day is still sort of fuzzy, so I can't remember exactly how long it was and it was probably decaff, but I want to say it was the morning after surgery. I was given some ice chips (CCF ice is crushed!!! yum, yum!!) and a popsickle sometime during the evening of surgery. Now...about the @@@####!!!###&&& breathing tube....it was my biggest fear!! Cut my chest open, split my sternum, STOP my heart...but do I really have to have a breathing tube??? Well... honestly, it was not bad. I do remember it being in, seems like a very short period of time, I think only about 2 hours after getting into ICU. It did not hurt, I could just "feel something". I was able to breathe, I had prepared myself to try to stay calm and I did. When they removed it, I just had to "cough it out" as they removed it. Even that cough did not hurt, I'm sure I was totally loaded up with drugs, lol. Anyway...just wanted to say it really isn't as bad as you are imagining. Some people aren't even aware of it at all. You almost have the hard part over with...the waiting. Take care and hang in there!
Selma Kaplan Thanks, Linda. You have no idea how comforting your words are! There's a Starbuck's right in the lobby of Mt. Sinai, so when I'm cleared for coffee, I'm gonna' make it a good one!
Looking forward to meeting you! I will look for you!
Would you like my cell?
The other board is mostly valve replacement folks but I found it earlier and got some good info there. Great weekend, thanks, except I had this really weird bout of a-fib last night. Woke me up out of a sound sleep. I guess It's just my body's way of saying, "OK, girl, let's get this DONE!" Just a few more weeks.
Most just really don't know what to say. Truth is that it is a big deal but something modern medicine can do very efficiently and safely now. I did not know much about this stuff until I learned I would have to go thru it. Now it's over and I am essentially back to normal (6 months), it almost seems like it didn't happen...kind of hard to explain. I got asked about it a lot on the beach this week...my scar is a gentle reminder that it did happen.
Anyway...don't be too hard on them. I just say I am good for another 100,000 miles.
Selma Kaplan You're right, of course! I was one of those people before I ever thought I'd need surgery....it's so interesting to be on the other side of the equation.
I totally understand...as yet to go myself, everyone's reaction is heavy and concerned mixed with their own fears. I have had friends cry while I comforted THEM!
Selma Kaplan That's too much!! I never really thought about the concern being in part about their own fears. That's very true. See you "on the other side!"
Surreal isn't it? I do not think a lot of people actually know what Open Heart Surgery is! They do not realize that the heart is stopped for this particular surgery! I was so ignorant about so much. Bob is scheduled close to yours. We will be sure to look you up. Maybe we can exchange emails or phone numbers.
Selma Kaplan Absolutely! Are you the wife of Bob who's going to Mt. Sinai? There are several Bobs here. I'm selma@wamc.org if you want to drop me an e-mail.
Hi Selma. Great post. I feel the same way. Most of the time I have the thought in my head that this surgery no big deal, especially when I read about success rates at top hospitals, examples of 1-day hospital recoveries (http://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/heart-surgery-blog/2009/11/13/mitral-valve-repair-video-michael-gnatek/), and stories of patients who go on to do amazing things like climb Mt. Everest (http://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/heart-surgery-blog/2007/09/02/mountain-climbing-everest-after-heart-valve-replacement/). And then there are those moments in between when I remember how serious it is to have our hearts stopped, cut open, fixed and then restarted. Such a range of perspectives.
I'm a week behind you, and will be watching closely and cheering you on. Best of luck and thanks for putting down in writing what many of us are thinking!
Selma Kaplan A 1 day hospital recovery? Didn't they used to keep people in for, like, 2 weeks?? I'm figuring a week, anything less will be gravy.
Great post friend. I totally felt the same way & frankly never ever used the words. Ohs. Just having an oil & lube job is what I told folks But those I did tell the truth too went the same route asyourfriends. So same old same old.
Enjoy. Nancy f St Louis.
Selma Kaplan I like it....oil and lube job. When I was on the table waiting for my cath, they made this one final check asking me what procedure I was there for. I said, "Isn't this where you go for a bikini wax?" and I thought the nurse was gonna faint.
Selma Kaplan Interestingly, this week just FLEW by. I had my dental clearance appointment today so....all systems go. Preop on the 4th.
I am a fellow HVJ have not written a note for awhile. You have a wonderful sense of humor. I too am 60. I so feel for you waiting. Sometimes time is good in retrospect.
Take care if I can help you in any way let me know. 3X open heart survivor and going strong!
Selma Kaplan Hi, Susan -- thanks for dropping by. Just checking in really helps. I love hearing from people who've come through the surgery and enjoying life on the other side.
Geez what a grouch. Do u need a poem to calm u down ? :).
Best. Nancy. St Louis. 2/9/12.
You need to find a way to occupy your mind. Do you need to give a pre op blood donation?


While several people prefer buying a house that someone else has lived in, there are others who do not favor the idea and would like to buy something new. There are several advantages to purchasing a newly built home after all. It needs to be efficient, in good condition, clean, although this does not always happen. Whenever we talk about new build homes, you have two options. The first one is the custom home that has been specifically designed for you, with all the details you want. The second option is referred to as the spec home, which has advantages and disadvantages.
Knowing what a Myrtle Beach spec home is important. It comes by different names depending on where you are located. Sometimes it is called a move in ready home, featured home, immediate delivery home, and inventory home. A spec home is a house that was designed and constructed by a builder without any buyer in mind. The builder took the chance that he will manage to sell the house once it is near completion or it is completed. It would seem that the builder is taking a chance here, hoping that a homebuyer will pick the house he has built. Therefore, the architecture is going to be based on a standard plan, perhaps using a design that is well known in the neighborhood that he is building it in. Generally, the fittings will be referred to as contractor or builder grade, although some builders can offer to have them upgraded for an extra price.
There are three primary advantages to buying a spec home – you can move in right away, the house is completely new, and you can see what you are purchasing.

Everything you need to know when charged with a financial or fraud offense, and how we attack the issue head on to either vindicate you or mitigate your charges
What Are the Financial and Fraud Crimes Charges In Michigan?
The property or money belonged to the complainant;
The accused had a relationship of trust with the complainant as an agent or employee;
The accused obtained possession or control of the money or property because of this relationship;
The accused either;
dishonestly disposed of the money or property;
converted the money or property to his or her own use; or
took or hid the money or property with the intent to convert it to his or her own use without consent of complainant;
At the time the defendant did this, he or she intended to defraud or cheat complainant of some property;
In terms of valuation of the embezzled property, the prosecution can add together the value of property or money embezzled in separate incidents if part of a scheme or course of conduct occurred within a 12-month period.
It does not matter whether the agent was legally authorized to handle the property or money that came into his or her possession.
Failing to return the money or property upon request can infer intent
Generally this statute fixes penalties based on the value of the money or personal property embezzled. These range from a 93-day misdemeanor and/or $500 fine for embezzling $200 or less, to a 20-year felony and/or $50,000 fine for embezzling $100,000 or more.
However, penalties can be enhanced for defendants with certain prior convictions under this statute and in cases where the victim is a nonprofit corporation or a charitable organization.
Check Fraud
The accused wrote or caused a check, draft, or money order to be written and that he or she signed it;
That this check, draft, or money order was presented in the usual course of business and that the bank refused to cash it because the defendant had insufficient funds in his or her account;
That the accused received notice of nonpayment; and
The did not pay the amount due on the check, draft, or money order and all costs and fees within five days after he or she received notice of nonpayment.
If the defendant knew when he or she wrote the check, draft, or money order that he or she did not have enough money in the bank to cover it at the time, but had good reason to believe that the check, draft, or money order would be paid when it was presented for payment, then the defendant did not have the intent to defraud or cheat anyone and must be found not guilty.
If the defendant wrote the check, draft, or money order when he or she did not have enough money in the bank to cover it because they had made an honest mistake about how much money they had in the account, then the defendant did not have the intent to defraud or cheat anyone and must be found not guilty.
Punishment depends on the amount of the checks and range from a 93 day misdemeanor and/or a $500 fine for amounts under $100 to 2 years and/or $2000 amounts over $500.
Drawing Check on Bank Without Account
The accused wrote or delivered a check, draft, or money order;
The accused did not have an account or credit with that bank;
The accused intended to defraud or cheat someone; and
The check, draft, or money order was presented for payment
The prosecutor is not required to prove that the defendant received property or money as the result of drawing the no-account check.
One who endorses it with full knowledge, belief, or expectation of ultimate nonpayment, comes within the purview of the statute.
Felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than two years, a fine of not more than $500, or both.
Three Insufficient Fund Checks Within Ten Days
The accused wrote or delivered three check, draft, or money order;
When They did this, the accused did not have enough money or credit with the bank to pay any of the checks, drafts, or money orders in full AND knew this to be the case; and
The accused intended to defraud or cheat someone.
We look for explanations such as a recent garnishment, a divorce, or other financial setback for the defendant. Lack of ability to check the account online, a recently changed address, or other information deficits may show the lack of intent.
The proofs to show intent are difficult to present, especially if the facts in question are open to interpretation.
Stealing, Removing, or Hiding Another's Financial Transaction Device Without Consent
The accused obtained possession of, retained, hid, or used another's financial transaction device;
The accused did this knowingly; and
The accused did this without the device owner's consent and they intended to defraud or cheat someone.
Copying someone's driver's license, social security, and bank numbers on a piece of paper without the authorization of the victim is sufficient.
Possession of Fraudulent or Altered Financial Transaction Device
The accused possessed a financial transaction device which was either fraudulently issued or was altered in some way so that it was different than when it was originally issued;
They did so knowingly and intended to defraud or cheat someone;
Even though intent is an element, "only minimal circumstantial evidence is required" as proof "because it is difficult to prove an actor's state of mind."
Possession of Another's Financial Transaction Device with Intent to Use, Deliver, Circulate, or Sell
The accused possessed another's financial transaction device, had it under his or her control, or received it from another person;
They did so knowing it was without the owner's consent;
The accused intended to, permitted, or caused someone to use, deliver, circulate, or sell this device; and
The accused intended to defraud or cheat someone when he or she did this.
Financial Transaction Device Fraud, Forgery, Material Alteration, Counterfeiting
The device in question was falsely made, materially altered, forged, counterfeited, or duplicated;
The accused falsely made, materially altered, forged, counterfeited, or duplicated the device; and
Use of Revoked or Canceled Financial Transaction Device with Intent to Defraud
The device in question had been revoked or canceled;
The accused received notice of the revocation or cancellation;
After receiving the notice, the accussed used the device for the purpose of obtaining state goods, property, services, or other things of value;
The accused knew when he or she used the device that it had been revoked or canceled;
The statute specifically excludes from the prohibited acts the use of an expired financial transaction device.
Generally this statute fixes penalties based on the value of the goods, property, or services or of anything of value obtained with intent to defraud. However, penalties can be enhanced for defendants with certain prior convictions under this statute. Penalties range from a 93 day misdemeanor and/or $500 fine for values of less than $100 to a 2-year felony and/or $2000 fine for values of more than $500.
Sales to or Services Performed for Violators
The accused sold or delivered goods or services to a violator of the laws regarding financial transaction devices;
That in doing this, the accused used or aided someone else in using a financial transaction device in an unlawful way;
The accused knew at the time that the device was being used unlawfully; and
The accused intended to defraud or cheat someone when he or she did this or aid in defrauding or cheating someone.
Causing Deviceholder to Be Overcharged
The accused forged deviceholder's signature or aided someone in forging the signature;
That in doing this, the accused caused the deviceholder to be overcharged, to be charged for an unauthorized purchase, or to suffer a financial loss; and
False Statement for Purpose of Obtaining Financial Transaction Device
The accused made, or had someone else make, a false statement in writing about his or her or someone else's identity.;
That this false statement was made to obtain a financial transaction device;
The accused knew at the time that the statement was false; and
The statute is violated "when a person presents a written, false statement of identity for the purpose of fraudulently obtaining a credit card, not when the card is actually obtained."
Use of Financial Transaction Device to Defraud
The accused used a financial transaction device to withdraw or transfer money;
The accused withdrew more money than the defendant had on deposit, more money than the defendant was allowed to, or money more often than the defendant was allowed to;
The accused did this knowingly and intended to defraud or cheat someone when he or she did this.
Uttering and Publishing a Financial Transaction Device
The device was false, forged, altered, or counterfeit;
The accused exhibited, offered, or presented the device;
The accused by his or her words, acts, or both, represented the device as valid;
The accused knew when he or she did this that the device was false, forged, altered, or counterfeit; and
Possession, Use, etc. of Instrument for Making False Financial Transaction Device
The accused made or knowingly possessed an instrument;
The instrument was designed or adapted to make, alter, or counterfeit a device;
The accused intended to use or have someone else use the instrument to make, alter, or counterfeit a device;
Use of the Victim's Information to Obtain Credit, Goods, Services, Money, Property, Information, or Employment with the Intent to Defraud
The accused used or attempted to use the personal identifying information of the complainant;
The accused did this with the intent to obtain credit, goods, services, money, property, a vital record, a confidential telephone record, medical records or information, or employment;
It was irrelevant whether the victim was actually defrauded; that is not an element of the offense.
First violation: 5-year felony and/or $25,000
Second violation: 10-year felony and/or $50,000
Third or subsequent violation: 15-year felony and/or $75,000
Use of the Victim's Information to Commit an Illegal Act
The accused used or attempted to use the personal identifying information of the complainant; and
The accused did this with the intent to commit an illegal act.
With Financial & Fraud crimes, it all comes down to proving that the accused acted knowingly and with the intent to defraud. More times than not, the prosecution will attempt to infer intent from circumstanial evidence. However, it is our job to emphasize that this evidence proves nothing and get creative with how we poke holes in the prosecution's case.
Convincing the prosecutor to reduce the charge should always be on the table. Also important is to show that the accused has taken steps to right his or her wrong. We will advise you on how best to do this. In other words, the punishment must fit the crime or we will not stand for it.

Q: Linux always hangs when out of physical memory I'm using ArchLinux, with 3.18.6-1 kernel, when a software uses more than physical memory (when total memory used is >5.8 GB), it always lags, unresponsive, and all that I can do is reset the computer. I have provide big enough swap on /etc/fstab
/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0

My vm.swappiness is 1, the output of free -m command:
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           7800        3059         688         239        4053        4204
Swap:         10247           0       10247

I tried to increase the swappiness to 10, then run a memory eating program munch.c
but it always hangs when reach about 4000 MB
What's wrong with my Linux?
Or is there a way to automatically kill the program with hugest RAM usage? (that is likely the most recent running program, that is valgrind or my recent test program)

A: I have experiment with echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task, but it still lags for a few minutes before actually kill the problematic program. In my testing earlyoom is the best for this case, to install it, just type:
yaourt --needed --noconfirm -S --force earlyoom
sudo cp /usr/bin/earlyoom /usr/local/bin/
sudo systemctl enable earlyoom
sudo systemctl start earlyoom

Now try to compile and run this program again:
echo '
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    int max = -1;
    int mb = 0;
    char* buffer;
    if(argc > 1) max = atoi(argv[1]);
    while((buffer=malloc(1024*1024)) != NULL && mb != max) {
        memset(buffer,0,1024*1024);
        printf("Allocated %d MB\n", ++mb);
    }
    return 0;
}
' > munch.c && gcc -O2 -o munch munch.c
./munch

It would give an output something like this:
Allocated 1 MB
Allocated 2 MB
Allocated 3 MB
...
Allocated 4367 MB
Allocated 4368 MB
Allocated 4369 MB
Killed
