The Truth about the 9/11 investigation: Taking into account that the Kean Commission was not tasked with finding out what happened on 9/11, no investigation has yet to be conducted by the Bush administration into the events of 9/11 other than that of the independent research community.
I am speaking from the point of someone who has been researching all available information regarding 9/11 for the past 2 years. I have some advice for all people who jump into the discussion of the events without having been involved in the independent research.
Your comments are all valid and your opinions are all worth listening to. However, many of you share your views without knowing as much as you should.
There has been an enormous amount of new information that has been uncovered or discovered since the official story was sold to the world. Most, and I repeat MOST of this new verifiable information and tangible evidence contradicts the official story.
May I be so bold as to make a suggestion to the people who jump in to the 9/11 discussion and comment on one or 2 new discoveries or claims made by the independent researchers: You might want to take the time and look at the mountains of new evidence before you comment on the one or two points that you feel qualified to challenge.
I'll tell you this; I am a very intelligent individual. I am a reasonable person. I am also smart enough to know that I do not know everything. That being said I will say this: Most elements of the official story about 9/11 have been disproved based on testimony, new evidence and verified false claims made in the official story. Evidence has been destroyed by our government; whistle blowers have been ignored by the Kean Commission, elements of the event have been completely omitted by the official report such as the collapse of Building 7, and the questions raised by the video evidence have been ignored by all official sources. There is also no question that all efforts were made to prevent any investigation into the events.
Motives for PNAC related government complicity in the events are undeniable. Although motive does not indicate guilt it has to be included in the conversation. You can not simply give people a free pass especially when they openly declare their motives.
There is no question that anyone who takes the time to listen to the testimony of the people involved, view the videos, examine the events leading up to 9/11 will understand that there are many questions to be answered and that the official story does not only not answer them, but it actually contradicts the actual events. The report contradicts the recorded testimonies of the witness. It omits testimony.
When the findings of the Kean Commission are used as proof of the official story the proof is invalid. The Kean Comission was not investigating 9/11. Remember that the Kean Commission was not asked to find out what happened, they were asked to make recommendations to improve national security based on the official story. In other words they were not trying to find out what happened. They were using the story told to them by the Bush administration as the basis for their recommendations. They were not trying to find out what took place. It was not their job. The public is under the impression that the Kean Commission was supposed to find out what happened but nothing can be further from the truth.
Taking into account that the Kean Commission was not tasked with finding out what happened on 9/11, no investigation has yet to be conducted by the Bush administration into the events of 9/11 other than that of the independent research community.
It is high time that we listen to the findings of the only body to actually investigate the events of 9/11; and that body is the independent research community. It is not the Bush administration, or the Kan Commission, both of whom have yet to explain what happened on 9/11.
Start paying attention to the independent researchers for they are the only people trying to find out the truth about 9/11.

Knoxville, TN 37902
When the extension of the James White Parkway is finally shot down ["Road to Ruin?" by Cari Wade Gervin, Dec. 13, 2012], can we begin the planning for removal of the parkway on the north side of the river? It goes nowhere, carries little traffic, devalues property near it, and is a barrier to the potential growth of downtown.
New York, San Francisco, and Milwaukee have torn down highways. Oklahoma City is doing it. Madrid, Spain, and Seoul, South Korea have done it. All of those demolitions brought new life and new economic activity to their cities.
It's time for the James White Mistake to go. Open up all that land for apartments, townhouses, parks, and businesses of all kinds. Then you'll really see downtown Knoxville take off.

So… the James White Parkway "is a barrier to the potential growth of downtown"? You clearly know nothing about the area of which you speak.
But, it looks like I can count you in that group of individuals that expects traffic from South Knoxville/Knox County to GO AROUND because you don't like having the burden of our traffic!
Thank you for providing another example of the let-them-eat-cake approach to South Knoxville's traffic problems!

Cellar/Tasting Notes The Lune d'Argent is a beautiful dry white wine produced from the blending of 70% semillon and 30% sauvgnon blanc. It exhibits intense and generous aromas of citrus, white and exotic fruit, delicate honey and white flowers. Notes of white peach, lychee and kiwi fruit and acacia are also evident in..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The Sigalas Rabaud was sensational out of barrel and served blind, the wine does nothing to dispel my initial optimism that this is the apogee for the estate – so far. It is bestowed with an intense bouquet of quince, orange zest and almond with a lighter touch of honey compared to its peers...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Light to medium gold with a greenish hue, this wine exhibits wonderfully pure notes of wood spice such as vanillin, honeyed citrus, a hint of under-ripe peach, and touches of creme brulee and marmalade. With great acidity and finesse, this is a medium-bodied, impressively endowed, but generally..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The minerality and stoniness really comes through on the nose of this Rieussec, more than the 2007. The palate is very well balanced with superb acidity, real tension, steely with great precision with notes of apricot, white peach and honey on the beautifully defined finish. Probably the best..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Tasted single blind against its peers. Denis Dubourdieu conjured a wonderful Barsac in 2007. Here there is an initial lightness on the nose that builds with each swirl of the glass. It exhibits fine minerality with apple, dried honey and a touch of wet stone. The palate is very harmonious with..

ripe fruit, this is like liquid candy."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Coutet has a very intense nose of apricot, papaya, honeysuckle and orange cordial that is very well defined. Interestingly I write the same comment as my appraisal out of barrel in that I would prefer just a little more vigor. However that is a minor quibble. The palate is very well-..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Beautiful aromas of orange zest are followed by gingerbread, caramel and crème brûlée flavors. This is a beautiful, rich, smoothly dense wine with a core of botrytis, spice and vivid fresh citrus acidity."
Cellar/Tasting Notes JS: "This is very concentrated with dried pineapple, honey and caramel. Full-bodied and superdense. Like honey. Massive. This is fantastic. From the former head and part owner of Yquem."

Fast Ways to Lose Weight do exist, in fact, you'll be surprised at how many effective ways to lose weight quickly there actually are! As a person who've gone from size 12 to size 2, I've tried it all and this ultimate list of 65 Fast Ways to Lose Weight is all you need to lose weight fast and keep it off.

Preparing your own meals is the #1 step in fast and successful weight loss. By doing so, you'll be able to control your portions, that are usually two-three times larger in restaurants. In order to switch to home-prepared meals easily, start with making one meal a day. The easiest to prepare would be a nutritious yet low calorie breakfast, like oatmeal or eggs with a small salad on the side.
Have your home-made breakfast for a week and start preparing your healthy, perfectly sized dinner too. After the second week, you'll be having 2 healthy meals a day! And you'll notice that by solely using this method, you've already lost from 5 to 15 pounds, depending on your previous eating habits. Wonder which foods are the best for losing weight fast? See the list of 50 Healthiest Foods to Help You Lose Weight for ideas. Or read on to learn more effective ways to lose weight fast.

SMELL: Immediate bright, sweet white raisins with a deeper chord of caramel-y booziness. Has the nature of decadent baked goods. Toasted barley and acidic coffee and sweet toffee. Somewhat mild in potency, but noticeably unique and pleasant. Smells very similar to a stout.
TASTE: Dry and tempered, the flavors roll larger later on until they wash down your throat. Extremely drinkable. Starts a bit clear and watery upfront, but then a stout like bitter sweetness swells up and just as quickly dimishes leaving you ready to sip again. Eminately quaffable though perhaps too light on flavor. Mostly grain flavors, some plum, and mild sugar sweetness at the end. Really, fairly straightforward and clean. Reminds me of German styles.
Pleasant if you're in the mood for an easy-to-drink darker beer, but not special enough to warrant much effort.

Poured from 750 mL bottle into shaker pint glass.
A: Pours a dark and murky brown with large 3+ inch tan head. Excellent retention and nice lacing.
S: Light caramel and toasted malts. Citrus and grains. Hint of chestnut, toffee, and fig. Quite pleasant.
T: Toasted caramel malt with a quick offset of sharply bitter hops (a bit off-putting). Chestnut and grains. Hint of light roast coffee. Wish this was a bit better balanced.
M: Light body and creamy feel. Initially smooth, then quickly turning sharply bitter with a dry finish.
D: Started off extremely promising, then settled into just above average. Still, a nice Spanish brew. Decently drinkable and solidly sessionable. Offers a lot for 5% ABV. Would probably do better paired with a meal.

Pours a dark brown color that turns a light brown when held to the light. There is a lot of carbonation that creates a huge tan head that sits on top of the beer.
Smell is clean, however, not much going on. A good nutty smell with malted barley, too.
Taste has a very malty and nutty base too. Dark roasted malts and a bit of coffee notes.
Mouthfeel is almost perfect. A good amount of crisp carbonation, but a velvety smooth finish. A really nice balance.
Drinkability is great on this beer. A nice balanced beer with a great mouthfeel makes me want another sip every time I put it down. Very rare and very nice find from Spain.

A: Pours an extremely dark brown in color with some light garnet red notes at the edge of the glass when held up to the light. The beer has a three finger tall dense light tan head that reduces to about a finger tall head evenly covering the entire beer. Excellent head retention properties are observed. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Slightly astringent (perhaps light alcohol presence) along with moderate notes of nuttiness and some caramel malt sweetness.
T: Toasted malts with some light amounts of caramel malt sweetness. Lighter hints of coffee bitterness (possibly from the dark grains) along with chestnut and some sharp earthy hops. Very light hints of burnt malts.
M: Slightly heavier than medium bodide with moderate amounts of carbonation.
O: Very interesting and enjoyable but a little too intense to be an easy drinking beer. I enjoyed the different bitter notes but it took quite a while to sip this glass.

Reviewed from tasting notes.
Pours out a deep brown with a bit of a flash head that leaves no lacing behind.
Smells and tastes like a blend of chestnuts, hazelnuts, roasted and toasted malts, a touch of cereal graininess and a light garnish of herbal tea with a touch of mineral sharpness at the finish.
Texturally is where this brew really shines. Lusciously smooth, silken, and creamy for a 5% brew.

Recently stumbled across my notes from The Festival 2012. Lets do this!
A - Poured a very, very dark brownish hue that was hazy enough to prevent seeing through. Good thick, creamy light brown head caps this beer and fades to leave a thin blanket.
S - Aroma is quite nutty, good dark malts, some earthy notes, super super faint hops, and maybe a touch of bitter coffee on the finish.
T - Taste is similar to the nose just with a touch more of the burnt malts on it. Definitely finding coffee here balanced nicely by that rich, darker malt character and faint nutty flavour.
M - Mouthfeel is a hair to carbonated for my liking, still though, keeps it nice and light.
O - Overall, a solid brown ale offering that I see on the shelves regularly in my area.

Pours a light brown, some red highlights, good cap of off-white froth, gone quickly. Whiffs of lightly burnt caramel, roasted nuts, crusty dark bread. Taste brings these basic brown ale components along. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. While i keep seeing how basic and straightforward this brown ale is, i like it more as each sip goes on because sometimes you just want something solid and not overly complex.

750 ml bottle poured into a CBS snifter.
A) Deep dark brown, with a massive khaki colored 3 finger head. The top of this looks like a milkshake. The retention is excellent. Lacing is fantastic as well.
S) I first noticed a bit of yeast, which surprised me. Then it was a multigrain, nutty, earthy aroma, with a light hops presence.
T) Roasty, darker malt character, earthy tangy flavors, grains and nuts. A bit of the yeast I picked up on the nose, and some hop bite on the backend.
M) Pretty rich and fairly smooth. There was moderate carbonation. The aftertaste was okay, lingered a bit. Kind of stuck to the palate.
O) My Spanish beer experience was previously limited to pounding Estrella Damm in Barcellona. This was a very solid brown ale right here. I would likely buy it again if it were more readily available. If you have the opportunity, give this one a try.

When the Illinois State Board of Health recently approved new recommendations requiring all sixth through twelfth grade students to have an additional vaccination, the Tdap booster shot, Patch asked readers to weigh in.
Do you think the state of Illinois should be telling us how to vaccinate our children? Do you think it's fair that those who refuse vaccinations will not be allowed to attend school?
Here are some of the responses we received:
"Vaccinations do not make people incapable of fighting disease. Please link to one credible study that supports that conclusion."
"Vaccinations train the immune system to respond appropriately to disease. What makes you think that they somehow impede the immune system? If a child is NOT vaccinated, they CAN get the disease and pass it on to others. If they are vaccinated, then the chances are good that they WON'T get the disease and by extension, they won't pass it on to others. Sometimes if they're vaccinated, they might get some form of the disease, but it's typically weaker."
"Please tell my 19 year old son who was given the varivax as a child and now has a painful case of shingles that his childhood immunization protected him from getting shingles. I think he will be hard to convince."
"What happened to basic human rights? Every parent should refuse! The vaccinated kids are sick and shedding virus! Go figure, drug companies are looking for revenue. Look to see who's funding these politicians! Say no!"

What the hell happened to that Vicky?
Is that from the chase a few weeks ago?
The Crown Vic was stopped on the I-20. Three other officers and I were standing next to it when it was rear ended by a Stratus going 65mph. It was pushed into another Crown Vic. All three cars were totaled. One officer went to the hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the Stratus went to jail for DUI
The crash happened in June of 2011.

Shouldnt we all be able to make a passable apple pie for July Fourth?
Its the food thats supposed to define our patriotism and the thing we claim to be: As American as apple pie.
Except that we arent, really. The American-apple pie connection has holes as big as the Grand Canyon.
There are no apples that are native to America. There were no apple trees growing here until European settlers planted them. And they mainly planted them to make cider, not pies.
Oh, those Americans knew apple pies, all right. The earliest recipe for apple pie pears and apples flavored with saffron dates to 1381 in England. A Dutch version of apple pie was printed in 1514. And the French, of course, have long had a well-known dish called tarte tatin, an upside-down apple pie baked in a crust-covered skillet and then flipped over.
So how did the apple pie get so hooked into the image of America? First, once apples were planted here, they thrived and quickly became a staple in areas like New England. Unlike the crisp, dry apples grown in England for cider, the apples grown in America tended to be sweet.
Second, apples also fit in with the American view of ourselves as a no-nonsense, farm-centered people. In Apple Pie: An American Story, John T. Edge quotes Henry Ward Beecher: Of all fruits, no other can pretend to vie with the apple as the fruit of the common people.
Those common people, though, delivered quite a blow to the apple farmers of America when Prohibition shut down cider-making in the early 20th century. According to some sources, the Apple Marketing Board of New York stepped in to start the campaign to get people to make pies with apples as the American thing to do.
Other sources say the first reference to apple pie as a definition of American values was in 1921, when a Chicago opera singer, Alice Gentle, was raising money for an opera that she said would be as American as apple pie. Fifty years later, the idea had become so entrenched that everyone understood the significance of Chevrolets catchy and kitschy advertising jingle, Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. (If youre old enough to remember 1971, it will probably take awhile to stop humming that.)
And all of that brings us back to the Fourth of July. Even though apple season is a few months away, the apple pie is still considered the traditional dessert, the perfect thing to go along with all those hot dogs.
Not exactly apple pies
American ingenuity could never be satisfied with something as simple as apples. Our apple pie history includes:
Mock apple pie. Thrifty cooks who didnt have access to apples made apple pie using soda crackers mixed with butter, sugar and water. According to The American Century Cookbook by Jean Anderson, the original version dates to the late 19th century. In the 1930s, Nabisco developed a version using buttery Ritz crackers flavored with lemon juice and cinnamon.
Zucchini apple pie. If youve got too much zucchini, especially the big ones, peel them, scrape out the seeds and slice them into semicircles to use instead of apples. With enough sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, it tastes pretty close to real apples.
Hypocrite Pie. The apples hide under a top layer of custard. Beth Tartan, the 1950s-era food editor of the Winston-Salem Journal, popularized this recipe in her classic 1954 book, North Carolina and Old Salem Cookery.
Which apples?
Sweet or tart? We like tart for pies. They hold their shape without becoming mushy, and theyre higher in pectin, which helps thicken the filling. Our picks: Granny Smith, Braeburn, Cortland, Empire, Rome, Jonathan or Golden Delicious.
Red Hot Apple Pie
Adapted from "Apple Pie: An American Story," by John T. Edge (Penguin, 2004). While you can make this with a full top crust, a lattice top (or stripes and stars of crust, as we did it) lets you see the bright red bursts of color from the melted candies.
Dough for a two-crust pie
3/4 cup sugar, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out crust
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 tart apples
1/4 cup honey, divided
About 1/4 cup candy Red Hots, also known as cinnamon imperials
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg, beaten, or egg white left from the pie crust
PREHEAT oven to 400 degrees. Combine 1/2 cup sugar with flour and salt. Set aside.
PEEL the apples. Cut each apple in half lengthwise (stem to blossom end), then into quarters. Cut away the core and any peel remaining at the tips. Cut across each wedge into 1/2-inch slices.
FLOUR a work surface and rolling pin. Roll out half the dough into a circle, lifting and turning, until the circle is several inches wider than your pie plate. Ease the crust into the pan or plate.
PILE half the apples in the crust, moving the pieces around to fill any large gaps. Drizzle with half the honey, then sprinkle with half of the sugar/flour mixture. Mound on the remaining apples. Drizzle with the remaining honey and sprinkle with the remaining sugar/flour mixture.
SPACE the Red Hots around the filling, pushing some of them down among the apples. Cut the butter into bits and dot it over the filling. Put the top crust on the pie, or cut it into strips and weave into a lattice on the top. Brush the top with egg or egg white and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
PLACE the pie on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 45 minutes, or until brown and bubbling.
COOL for several hours, then refrigerate before slicing.
Sour Cream Apple Pie
Before she became editor of the now-closed Gourmet magazine, Ruth Reichl wrote a little cookbook called "Mmmmmmm: A Feastiary" in 1972. She recently reran this recipe from it on www.ruthreichl.com.
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, divided
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
3/4 cup sour cream
6 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
Dough for a 1-crust pie
PREHEAT oven to 400 degrees.
MIX sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, lemon juice and sour cream in a large mixing bowl. Peel, core and slice the apples, then add to the bowl and mix well with a rubber spatula, turning to coat the apple pieces.
FIT the crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Pile the apple mixture in, mounding in the center.
COMBINE the remaining 1/2 cup flour with the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and mix. Add the butter and cut in, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until crumbly. Sprinkle over the apples.
PLACE on a baking sheet on the lowest shelf of the oven and bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 35 to 40 minutes, until browned and bubbling.
COOL completely, then chill before slicing.
Vinegar Pie Crust
Adapted from "Apple Pie: An American Story." Vinegar relaxes the gluten and makes a crust that's easy to handle.
1 egg, separated (see note)
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
3/4 cup warm water, divided
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup lard (see note)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
PLACE the egg yolk in a liquid measuring cup. Stir in the vinegar, then stir in enough warm water to reach the 1/2 cup mark. Set aside.
WHISK together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the lard (or butter) and cut into the flour with a pastry blender until crumbly. (Or place in a food processor and pulse until crumbly.) Add the egg mixture and stir with a fork until the dough comes together. It should be moist enough to hold its shape when you press some of it together.
DIVIDE in half and shape each half into a flattened disc. Wrap each disc with plastic wrap or wax paper and refrigerate at least an hour before using.
NOTE: You'll just need the yolk for this recipe. Save the egg white and mix it with 1 tablespoon water to make an egg wash to brush the top of the pie. Good-quality rendered leaf lard, often found at farmers markets, makes the best crust, with a crispy texture. You also could use half butter and half lard, or transfat-free shortening.
Yield: 2 (9-inch) crusts.

Dee is incredible, as always. Dee with Inari Vachs is worth renting at any time, even with the unnecessary stuff. Just put Dee and Inari in a room for an hour with a camera or two, and we can all be very happy.
Not awful and the women are semi-hot. But if you're after something in this genre, you can do better than this.
I could watch her sitting there and reading the phone book. The problem with a video like this, is that if she was reading the phone book it would have sub-titles to make it even more artsy. This video needs to move along faster and focus on the wonderful Dee and the other beautiful women, instead of having us admire cascading water fountains.
3 stars for having many incredibly beautiful women. Not any more because it's a very artsy smut movie and sometimes you can get dizzy from the rapidly changing action shots.
One star for each scene that Felecia is in. The rest of the women in this movie are not in her class and are just going through the motions. this is such a low grade production that they don't even spell Felecia's name right in the opening credits.
but not awful. The first scene has some pretty hot moments but they are few and far between the rest of the ways. I would have liked it better if Mika Tan was submissive instead of being dominant, but that's just me.
Lots of fast forwarding and lots of disparity in the quality of the scene. The girl in the first scene looks like she's on drugs but then you get Chloe who always seems to enjoy her work. And any movie that has Dee isn't a total waste of your time.
When the worst thing that you can say about a smut movie is that Spyder's tattoos are a little much, that must mean that there are some hot women and some very hot action. Sex with bondage is something that I like and this movie actually has the real thing.
The hottest scene, the one with Teanna, is also in Cytherea's Pussy Parade 2. The others weren't awful, but the girls aren't always the best looking. You can do better with other videos.
No more Bizarre Video movies. This film has some moments. Ashley Renee is smoking hot and always seems inspired. Sadly, the only word to describe her scene is dumb. Chloe always seems ready for action and if she and Ashley ever got together, the sparks would definitely be flying. This movie cuts off scenes and most of them are just the same old lame stuff that Bizarre puts in all their movies.

The Daily Star
---- — Call us existentialists, but we can't help but wonder: If you have a Lumberjack Festival without any lumberjacks, is it still a Lumberjack Festival?
The 37th annual event by that name went off in Deposit last weekend with a lot of the features one would expect. There was a midway, and a full slate of vendors; a 5k run, a pony pull, a tractor pull and a horseshoe competition; and, for the little ones, puppets and a magic show.
True, there was a "Lumberjack and Jill Pageant," but we suspect the event was in fact open to men and women of all professions.
Mind you, we don't fault the organizers for making a change. According to Lumberjack Festival President John Alfano, the festival board was merely giving the people what they want.
Despite giving the festival its ostensible raison d'etre, the lumberjack competitions and demonstrations of previous years had apparently been poorly attended.
Or, as Alfano bluntly put it, "Nobody showed up for the events."
So the board said bye-bye to the lumberjacks. Case closed.
"It's like going to a mall," Alfano said, "you have to revamp your storefront or move."
Fair enough.
But if the name of your store is Joe's Shoes, and you decide to start selling ice cream instead, wouldn't you change the sign out front?
Don't get us wrong. We're thrilled to see this tradition not only continuing, but thriving. Alfano said interest in the festival was so high this year that the board was actually turning away vendors.
This is fantastic news. The recent demise of the Meredith Dairy Fest has illustrated the difficulties of keeping these sorts of events vital, year-in and year-out. And if this is what it takes to keep The Event Formerly Known as the Lumberjack Festival going strong, then we're all for it.
But if the whole lumberjack thing is really not drawing the crowds anymore, then why not change the name, too?
To plenty of people, the annual event is already known simply as "Deposit Days." Sure, the name may lack panache, but at least it's more honest than calling it a "Lumberjack Festival" with a little asterisk that says, "No actual lumberjacks were included in the making of this festival."
No matter what you call it, we're happy that Alfano and his colleagues have put on another successful event for the people of Deposit and the surrounding area. And who knows? Maybe next year, the lumberjacks will be back. Whatever happens, we hope the event continues to be a hit.

Knoxville — Jack Dylan Konz, 18, of Clive, is already facing a charge of first-degree robbery, but as he sat in the Marion County Jail, awaiting trial, he has accumulated more charges.
According to court records, during a routine search of his cell at the jail on March 16, jail staff discovered three white pills identified as Tramadol, which is used in pain relief, according to drugs.com. The pills were allegedly hidden in a salt container under his mattress. Konz allegedly admitted to not having a prescription for the medication. He has been charged with possession of contraband and unlawful possession of a prescription drug.
The case at the jail remains under investigation.
Konz was already facing a possession charge filed by the Pella Police Department on the day he is also accused of robbing MidWestOne Bank in Pella (Feb. 21). He is scheduled to appear in court on all four charges on Friday, April 5, at 9:30 a.m.
The other suspect in the Pella robbery, Christian Michael Latshaw, is also scheduled to be in court on Friday, April 5.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Voters in six Memphis suburbs have approved the creation of municipal public school systems to sidestep the merger of city and county schools.
Referendums in Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown, Lakeland and Millington passed Thursday. Next month, a judge will have the final say on whether the vote will stand.
Voters in those municipalities want their own schools to avoid the merger between the larger, struggling, majority-black Memphis school system and the smaller, more successful, majority-white Shelby County district.
The vote is being challenged in court by the Shelby County Commission, which is concerned that the breakaway could undermine the merger.
Voters in the six suburbs also approved a property tax increase to help pay for the schools.

Perhaps the most recognizable building in Lincolnwood
The infamous Purple Hotel can be remembered for a variety of historical events.
There's the unsolved murder of convicted mobster Allen Dorfman, who was gunned down in the hotel's parking lot in 1983.
Almost two decades later, Stuart Levine testified to the drug-fueled parties in the corruption trials of Tony Rezko and William Cellini. Levine told reporters that he snorted "10 lines of a potent mix of drugs" during a single sitting while at the hotel.
Despite all the high-profile history, the Purple Hotel also had its bright side.
The building at 4500 Touhy Ave. was built in 1953, and was originally called the Lincolnwood Hyatt House. Since then its changed hands a variety of times, becoming a Radisson and even a Ramada.
But everyone knew it as the Purple Hotel, and for several decades it was the place to be seen and heard. Extravagant weddings and fancy dinner parties were nothing unusual. The hotel even featured live music for its patrons as they dined in the Great Lakes Ballroom.
Wrecking Ball Has Reservations
Fast forward to today, and the Purple Hotel is a desolate eyesore.
The Village of Lincolnwood recently awarded Delta Demolition Inc. almost $1.2 million to tear down the building.
The property's current owner—Donald Bae of the broadcast firm KM Communications Inc.—was in the middle of a lawsuit with the village, which wanted him to either address the building's health violations or demolish it. The village previously sued Bae in 2006 to correct what it called "dangerous and hazardous conditions," including mold and an insect infestation.
After 45 years in business, the Purple Hotel closed in 2007 when it was found to be in violation of more than 30 building code violations. A judge ordered the hotel to close in January of that year. Its garish purple skeleton has stood abandoned ever since.
Before everything gets torn down, we thought we'd share a sneak peak of what the inside of the hotel looks like. The following pictures wouldn't have been possible without the help of Skokie Patch reader Martin Gonzalez.
Gonzalez has a knack for photographing abandoned buildings, and many of the pictures inside the Purple Hotel are eerie as they are fascinating.
If you have any stories or pictures of the Purple Hotel during its glory days, please send me a note at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Years ago I received a special game for Christmas.
Each player got a sheet of advertising slogans which could be torn off and, with the application of the tongue, the individual slogans could be made sticky enough to adhere to a sheet of blank paper. The idea was to use the slogans, add a few of your own words and string it all together to create a story. Each player worked individually and, when time was called, each read their story aloud.
My problem was then I couldn't find anyone who wanted to play. I really liked word games, but it was an enthusiasm not shared by Ed or by any other of my nearest and dearest.
I mentioned the game to a friend not long ago, and we spent an entertaining few minutes trying to recall some of the advertising slogans of yesteryear, many of them featured in my Christmas game.
Do we even have advertising slogans now? We have advertising spokespersons, but I can't think of anything other than "the pause that refreshes." Or, is that also an old slogan no longer in use?
Does anyone remember "99 and 100th% pure, it floats" and the product it promoted? My game had that one and "when better cars are built, Buick will build them." This was offset by Packard who advised the motoring public to "ask the man who owns one."
There were slogans for toothpaste, too. I bought Ipana which promised "the smile of beauty," but I didn't buy the smile, I bought it because Ipana sponsored Fred Allen's radio program and I thought Fred Allen was the funniest man alive. Ipana's competitor countered with "you'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent."
Incidentally, Ipana tasted terrible, which may explain why I haven't seen it on the shelves in years. Pepsodent, however, is still going strong.
I can still rattle off the six flavors of Jello, the original six, but I cannot recall the slogan. It seemed as if everything was sold with a memorable slogan, most were included in my game. They could make some pretty funny stories, if I do say so myself.
I don't remember what happened to that game. Probably it was left behind in one of our moves. I wish I had that game back. I'd probably still be playing it by myself, but I'd still enjoy it.

Get well soon. It is a simple enough statement to comprehend. We say it when someone we know becomes ill. Our intention is to tell the person that we wish health returns to them fast. There is an interesting parallel to this statement and the mindset of most people. We wait until sickness begins and then we try our hardest to "get well soon." Maybe our efforts would be better spent if we didn't just sit around waiting for illness to strike. Why not treat your potential illness now, before it can even develop? How about changing our focus to "staying well?" Wellness is an arena of healthcare that is finally gaining momentum by more healthcare providers. Even in our small town, several wellness-focused centers are popping up because there is a growing public demand for these services.
I have had several patients come in to be treated in the very early stages of a problem. For instance, one man came in for treatment of his aching shoulder. It wasn't bad enough to cause functional limitations or constant pain, but it was a minor ache that came and went and he wanted to "nip it in the bud." Throughout the evaluation, he kept saying "maybe I don't even need to be here," but I encouraged his prevention-focused concerns. I encourage more people to get evaluated for treatment during the pain-free or very early stages of a problem. Just like in this case, there are some simple treatments and education about reducing the cause of the problem that can eliminate it altogether as well as prevent future problems.
We need the health insurance companies to realize this as well. With more and more people having access to the information on the internet, the public is becoming very educated about their own health. More people want to take an active role and become proactive in preventing illness, but does insurance cover this type of care? It depends where you seek it. If it is in a medical practice, then your chances are better. If it is in a gym or some other non-medical center, you might have some coverage. Some insurance companies will reimburse portions of health club membership dues, but not much beyond that. You always have the self-pay option and many providers will work with you to make care affordable.
Wellness can be addressed in numerous areas: balance/fall prevention, posture, work place set-up/ergonomics, foot care/shoe wear, cardiac awareness (vital signs), fitness, diet, vision, walking patterns, pregnancy, back protection, bladder control, TMJ, home safety, well baby, sports injury prevention, etc. The first step to shifting your focus to a wellness perspective is to gain knowledge. It is one of my goals in writing these articles to educate you and provide basic knowledge about what you can do for yourself to achieve the health you desire. Once you seek out more information and learn what you can do for yourself, you must make changes and actively work towards your health goals now while you are still healthy. Stay well!

North American Adventism in 1910, 2010, and 2110
Submitted: Feb 23, 2010
One hundred Years Ago: In the Year of Our Lord 1910, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, now some 47 years into its formal history as an organized denomination, reported a total membership of a little over 90,000 of which about two-thirds lived in North America. Most of its members belonged to the dominant ethnic group that then composed the population living in Canada and the United States.
Despite a lifetime of chronic physical and psychological health problems, the Adventist Church's prophetic figure, Ellen White, was still alive. Her lifetime corpus of writings were beginning to be codified into a body of what were being represented by a professionalized clergy as totally authoritative and even inerrant statements obtained directly from a supernatural source—from God directly to Ellen White. Although many of her contemporaries knew this view represented a fundamental misunderstanding, the myth of the "Red Books" would be employed over most of the next century very effectively by many of those who controlled the internal communications and institutional agencies of corporate Adventism as essentially the final arbiter of Adventist orthodoxy.
In 1901, the church had reorganized itself so as to centralize administrative functions. This laid the foundation which would allow the church's clerical administrators to create over the following decades one of the most hierarchically-structured Protestant sectarian groups in the United States—what sociologists of religion characterize as an institutionalized sect.
Along side these developments, the denomination began to build and staff many medical and educational centers both in North America and in what were then called "mission lands." In many cases, these efforts made positive and lasting contributions to the long-term health and welfare of the people they helped and would not have existed but for the religious convictions of the founders of these institutions.
And many Adventist evangelists were proclaiming with great conviction and certainty that the Second Coming was near—only a year or two at the most.
Today: In the Year of Our Lord 2010, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, now some 147 years into its formal history as an organized denomination, reported a total world-wide membership in excess of 15 million individuals of which fewer than 5% now live in North America. The church's prophet has been dead for 95 years.
Despite the development of Sabbatarian Adventism into a fundamentalist-oriented denomination in the 1920s and 1930s, a series of unintended consequences of the subculture's emphasis on education had set into motion a subtle process, the effects of which by 2010 were clearly in evidence. So that its flagship academic institution, a medical school now part of an Adventist university, could obtain and retain its accreditation, Adventist undergraduate institutions in North America had been required to be accredited.
A largely unforeseen set of events ensued. For one, a small cadre of professional historians obtained graduate degrees, some from the best research universities in the world. Some of these historians, using primary sources, had examined the 19th century roots of their church. Several early stories which had been told about some of the miracles which had purportedly occurred in the early, mythic period of Adventist history had been shown to be, at best, historically unsupportable. A few apparently had simply never happened as told to later generations. Discoveries about the actual source of many of the writings attributed to Ellen White revealed that she and her editorial assistants had copied—in most cases without any attribution—a considerable percentage of what had previously been stated to have come exclusively from God directly to Ellen White.
As another largely unforeseen consequence of its emphasis on education, the Adventist Church had also developed a small group of theologians and Biblical scholars, some of whom had received their degrees from the most prestigious academic institutions in the world. Some of them turned their attention to various elements of the traditional theological content of Adventism. Some of these theologians concluded that a number of the positions that institutional Adventism had adopted in its infancy and adolescence as core doctrines were simply not Biblical.
Despite a strong fundamentalist ethos, the Adventist Church by 2010 had been able to evolve its body politic and religious culture in a number of different directions and a pluralistic Adventism could be seen. While its fundamentalist and traditionalist wings remained strong, it had developed an active evangelical and a small, but rapidly growing progressive wing. It now could reflect on the fact that it operated one of the largest denominationally-affiliated system of hospitals and medical establishments then in operation. Its primary, secondary, and tertiary educational institutions spanned the world. It also operated a humanitarian organization, ADRA, which made major contributions to the health and welfare of large numbers of individuals in third world countries.
And a few Adventist evangelists in North America and elsewhere proclaimed that the Second Coming is near—only a year or two at the most.
One Hundred Years From Now: In the Year of Our Lord 2110, what will have happened to Adventism? By this time, the denomination will almost 250 years old. Its prophet will have been dead for 195 years. Given current trends, will the Adventist Church in North America exist in its home land? Will the General Conference have its headquarters located somewhere in Africa or in South America? How many of its educational institutions, hospitals and medical centers in North America will still be officially affiliated with the church? Will the great efforts expended at keeping Adventism organizationally unified been successful or had the church broken into different national and ideological fractions?
And how many Adventist evangelists will be proclaiming that the Second Coming is near—only a year or two at the most?
I invite those who wish to exercise their prophetic vision to offer their own answers to these questions.

The Summit's ambitious aim - providing 120 million women with the lifesaving contraceptives and services they need- is something very close to our hearts as there are such integral linkages between HIV prevention and sexual and reproductive health (SRH).
British Aid will provide an additional 24 million girls and women in the world's poorest countries with family planning services between now and 2020 as announced today by the Secretary of State for International Development, Andrew Mitchell. This will not only prevent unintended pregnancies but also help prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
At a side event at the summit organised by the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Network with the UK Consortium on AIDS and International Development to look at the importance of integrating HIV and family planning services, DFID's under secretary of state Stephen O'Brien stressed the need for the HIV and family planning communities to work in unison to reach collective goals. He went on to talk about how reducing the unmet need for family planning is critical for making progress on HIV by reducing the number of unintended pregnancies in HIV positive women of childbearing age, reducing the number of AIDS-related maternal deaths and reducing the number of HIV infections among children.
Felicia Wong, the Alliance's policy advisor, commented: "Reproductive choice is a basic human right, yet women living with HIV are reporting human rights violations such as coerced abortion and sterilization, or denial of the right to be sexually active and have children.
"Today's announcements on increasing access to contraception bring some hope that things will be different for future generations but we need to join up safe family planning and HIV services in order to make real headway in reaching vulnerable and marginalised populations and respond more fully to their needs. We also need to be mindful of the fact that integration will only work if countries really own their response and harness the power of community mobilisation which we have seen used so effectively in the HIV response."
