Police in Oak Park and Ferndale are seeking a third suspect after an Oak Park home was invaded and a 7-Eleven clerk in Ferndale was robbed an gunpoint. Two suspects have already been arrested and are in police custody.UPDATE: The third suspect has been arrested. Click the link to the right for details.
The men suspected in connection with these crimes according to police are Jalen Turner, 18, and Gerald Turner, 29. Police believe the name of the third suspect is Tarus Richardson, a 24-year-old resident of Detroit. Police say a home in Oak Park was invaded and the residents robbed by the suspects. It is unclear if two or three of the men were involved. Two of the suspects went to a nearby 7-Eleven store and robbed a clerk at gunpoint, police say. It is unclear at this time which of the two suspects were involved. Fox 2's Maurielle Lue reports the weapon turned out to be a toy. Lt. William Wilson of Ferndale police say the suspects took cash from the register, lottery tickets and cigarettes. The clerk called police who located the getaway vehicle, who was being driven by a third person, and pursued the suspects in what Williams describes as a "dangerous vehicle chase."The chase started near Nine Mile and Livernois roads, and soon after it began a second police car arrived. The suspects were said to have sped up and then crashed into a light pole. All three took off running. Two were apprehended and taken into custody. "They could have killed themselves or others right near the end before they crashed into a pole. They almost had a T-bone accident with another crossing vehicle," Williams says.

I've been managing to do some cooking.... because I can't stay comfortable in one position for long.. everytime I have to get up, I cook and clean the kitchen. I'm glad I had a stocked fridge though... it has made life easier. Sunday I did nothing, yesterday I made some great mock cream cheese, hummus, more bread, salad and shredded cabbage. I started some sprouts last night and soaked some soybeans for milk/yogurt/okara... This morning I made 3 batches of soymilk (pure soymilk this time) and turned 1 quart into yogurt, and have the rest chilling in the fridge... I saved the Okara to use for my first homemade batch of tempeh! That is in my oven right now. I have no idea if it will take or not.. I don't have a thermometer. I hope that it does take though because okara will be much easier to use for tempeh than the whole soybeans and the de-hulling process and all that. oy.. We'll know by Friday if it took. .. I fried up the okara bacon burgers.. they are so good. I love them. Oh.. and yesterday I made some pina coloda sorbet (made from homemade soymilk, frozen pineapple, cococnut extract, stevia, lemon juice and frozen bananas.. blended it in the vitamix then put it in the ice cream maker)..
back today.. I prepped 2 quarts of refrigerator pickles.. one with brussel sprouts, one wiht cukes. Both with lots of garlic, onions, spices and dried red pepper flakes. I am going to pickle some jalapenos next.
I also finally rehydrated some "chicken" tenders that have been sitting in my pantry forever.. I konw I won't like them, but my youngest son and husband did.. I marinated them and then fried them in cast iron and coated them in wing sauce, garlic powder, pepper and earth balance.. I decided to use the rest of the seitan that way too... hopefully, they'll eat it up.. I'll probably use some on a salad.. I could maybe stomach it that way. I am still not a fan of seitan or many fake meats. I like fake bacon.. and my homemade bean or tofu or nutburgers, but I just don't like the texture of meat.
I steamed 3 lbs of broccoli, 1 lb of green beans and 1 lb of snow peas and topped it with mustard vinaigrette.
Basically, I did all of this while watching TV... I had to rest a bit on the couch, but couldn't stay on my left side forever, so I'd get up and putter around for 20 minutes and when that got uncomfortable, I'd sit down.. I spent many hours like this...
I hope I feel better soon... and I really hope I can get some sleep tonight.
I went to see my cranial sacral lady today... and I know she has done some good.
My oldest son has been gone for a week and I'm really starting to miss him. He'll be home either Thursday or Friday. I can't wait to see him!

thank God for your baby...xoxoxo
ouch! that sounds horrid. And, talk about weird, I too had a freakish flip flop fall on Sunday! I was checking out a view and on my return to the car, had to navigate a tiny, dusty hill. I don't know how but I slid, twisted my ankle, and scrapped up my knee, my ankle, and my toes. My ankle is still fat and ugly and ...boy... did it ever hurt! I'm going to be much more sympathetic with the kids scrapes from now on.ReplyDelete

One of the most important parts of social media is its ability for the content that you share to "go viral" that is to have it shared well beyond its original audience by social media users who like it and want to share it with their social networks. The first step in getting your content to "go viral" is to publish well thought out messages, but there are three tools that can help you conquer the world of social media.
The media industry is changing fast. During the first quarter of 2013, MyPRGenie surveyed journalists from 26 countries to find out what they want from PR professionals -- and how their preferences have changed with the emergence and dominance of social media.
As thousands of companies compete to bring their news into the spotlight, it is becoming increasingly hard for PR professionals and journalists to connect with each other. To overcome this challenge, MyPRGenie recently conducted a survey and has designed this white paper, which includes several tips that can help you improve your new media media relations. Compiled by the experts of the MyPRGenie Research Team, the 2013 Media Report explains the latest media developments and how you can work with them to get your message out there.
What's the difference between PR and social media? For many companies, the answer is fast becoming, "They're both ways to communicate with the world" and "our PR team manages both". Large and small companies in every industry are now using social media as an integral part of their PR and marketing needs. As social media continues to replace the traditional channels of brand promotion and communication, PR has become synonymous with social media marketing.
Facebook and Twitter offer you an opportunity to connect with millions of users across the globe and promote your brand virally online. In addition, these social media platforms allow you to target your audience with surgical precision. As thousands of companies are jumping on the social media bandwagon every day, it is becoming increasingly difficult for new companies to step into the spotlight. This white paper features many guidelines and effective techniques that can help you build a huge following on Facebook and Twitter.

This white paper features a number of effective tips for incorporating social media into your customer support strategy.
How to Leverage Email, Twitter & Facebook To Effectively Distribute a Press Release

With millions of websites competing for traffic and potential customers, gaining a high search engine ranking has become necessary to survive in today's online market. However, search engines are now regularly updating their algorithm to refine results, which means that SEO techniques that worked a few years ago might not be effective anymore. This white paper describes various methods and techniques that can help you stay abreast with the changing search engine algorithms.
Traditional news media outlets have been decimated by declining revenues, leading to staffing cuts and budget slashing. Meanwhile, social media and other Web-based outlets are on the upswing, and the trendy venue of choice by public relations professionals.
But in spite of the downward spiral for traditional news media, it should remain a critical component of PR 3.0 planning. This white paper explains why, and how to harness the surprisingly resilient traditional outlets for maximum PR 3.0 benefit.
As their popularity skyrockets, social media web sites have become a critical component of public relations planning. This white paper explains why social media is so valuable for PR, and offers some specific practical advice on how to incorporate social media into PR strategies and combat negative PR.
It's undeniable that the new world of social media can have a dramatic impact on your organisation. All it takes is a quick scan of today's headlines to learn the effects of successful - and not so successful - social media campaigns. While it seems that social media presents an endless amount of opportunities to build awareness, it also presents risk, which means that creating an effective strategy isn't just nice to have - it's an absolute must.
With around 140 million Tweets sent per day, Twitter is fast becoming the leading social media platform for finding the latest news and information. Many businesses are now trying to maximize their presence in the Twitterverse to tap into Twitter's incredible potential as a marketing platform. Companies can use Twitter to reach millions of followers instantly, interact with their clients, share news, easily gather feedback, and promote their brand online.

The vast majority of the commuters streaming into the Sheridan Red Line stop Monday morning completely ignored the gleaming new Ventra machines, despite CTA worker Mayra Fuentes' intermittent reminder: "Ventra is working."
One woman tried to shove her old fare card into the new machine to recharge it and was quickly directed to the proper machine.
The long-awaited Ventra transit cards went on sale at Chicago Transit Authority stations and 700 retail outlets Monday morning, offering travelers a new, faster tap-and-go way to pay for bus and train rides.
Those few who took the time to use Ventra on its official launch date seemed to like it.
"It was pretty easy, considering it dispenses the card at the location," said David Burk, 27, a Loop restaurant manager. "I didn't have to go online or anything. I read about this before, but I didn't know when they were going to be put in place."
Jon Knott, 22, a downtown worker, bought his three days ago.
"It's much more efficient and the cards are more durable," Knott said. "So I can't complain. I won't lose them nearly as much. It's so much easier to pass through (the turnstyle)."
Of course, not everyone was thrilled with the new system.
"It sucks," said Emily Hernandez, 16, on her way to school.
The teen's concern was the amount of steps it took before the card finally dispensed, but even she acknowledged it was probably going to be easier to use once she becomes familiar with the technology.
Old fare cards will be accepted by the CTA and suburban Pace until Dec. 15.
Monday "is not like some magic cutoff that, if you don't have a Ventra card, you're out of luck,'' CTA spokeswoman Tammy Chase said last week. "We're going to spend several months running two systems, so there's plenty of time for people to get Ventra cards before Dec. 15."
But regular riders might find themselves forced to convert to Ventra before Dec. 15. Express and visitor pass machines have been decommissioned as of Monday. The number of old fare card vending machines will start dwindling this month, and they will disappear by Nov. 15.
Plus, the ability to reload fares on to existing cards ends Oct. 7 for Chicago Card Plus and Chicago Cards, and on Nov. 15 for stored-value magnetic-stripe paper cards.
The best advice for regular CTA riders: Spend down your existing plastic or paper cards this month and get in the Ventra groove.
Despite months of hype, some riders didn't even realize that Monday is Ventra's systemwide launch day.
"I saw signs saying Ventra was coming soon, but I didn't know it was Monday,'' said Pairlee Dulin, of Rogers Park, who rides a CTA bus and the Brown Line. "I don't even know how to buy the Ventra stuff. I don't think the CTA did a good job."
Others in the dark about Ventra refuse to worry about it.
"I know nothing about it,'' said Keith Sulzer, 25, an L rider who lives in Lake View. "All I know is I'm getting a card in the mail, and it's replacing my Chicago Card Plus. "I'm going to figure out all the other stuff when I have to."
One card, two systems
CTA officials emphasize the convenience of Ventra cards, which riders can use to pay fares on the CTA and Pace — from the city to the suburbs — with the tap of a single plastic card embedded with a radio frequency chip. That card can be a new Ventra card or a debit or credit card containing the same kind of chip. Eventually, many smartphones should work, too. Plus, the Metra suburban train line is trying to jump on the Ventra bandwagon.
A Ventra card also includes a debit option, with an assortment of debit fees attached, but the feature is optional and seniors and disabled people won't even be offered it on reduced fare cards, which should start arriving in their mailboxes this month.
Transferring balances
Ventra passed the 1-million-tap mark just last week, officials said. That's because college kids, Chicago Public School students, Chicago Card and Chicago Card Plus users have been trying out Ventra cards since last month. CTA officials saythat in a handful of cases, it took a few hours for fare credits to show up on new student Ventra cards, but they think they have fixed the problem.
CTA officials have scheduled 27 days between Sept. 17 and Dec. 13 when customers can visit specific locations to transfer existing balances to new cards. Balances from as many as five old cards can be transferred at one time but must add up to a minimum of $5. Passes for one, three, seven or 30 days cannot be transferred, so these should be spent down.
From January through March 2014, balances of any amount can be transferred by mailing in old cards to the Ventra Customer Service Center, at 165 N. Jefferson.
Automatic reload
After purchase, customers can arrange to have fares automatically reloaded by credit card or bank account if their transit balance falls below a certain amount.
It's an option that makes Ellie Ribitwer nervous now that much of the CTA fare-collection process will be in the hands of private vendors. CTA officials say the move will save the transit agency $50 million over 12 years.
"I would never link my credit card to another card,'' said Ribitwer, 23, a Brown Line rider. "I trust the CTA, I don't trust Ventra. I don't know what Ventra is.''
Minimum fare vs. $5 purchase fee
All users are required to load a minimum fare amount on their cards at the time of purchase. The minimum ranges from 5 cents at Ventra vending machines; $1 at retail locations or the Ventra Customer Service Center, and $5 online or by phone. Through Dec. 15, users won't have to pay an additional $5 purchase fee.
After Dec. 15, the $5 purchase fee kicks in, but it can be converted to transit credit if a buyer registers the Ventra card by providing name, phone number, address and date of birth.
Registration has advantages, CTA officials say. It allows customers to monitor their accounts online, by phone or by mobile app. It also protects transit balances incase a card is lost or stolen.
New disposable card
By Dec. 15, CTA train riders will have to buy new Ventra cards or convert their credit or debit cards to ones with radio-frequency chips. Or they can buy new disposable, paper one-day passes or a $3 single-fare ticket, which carries an extra 50-cent convenience fee and an automatic 25-cent transfer fee.
Buses will continue to accept cash, charging 25 cents more than a preloaded fare, as they do now.

With the introduction of Silver Ice®, David Yurman was the first designer to set diamonds in sterling silver, revolutionizing the world of fine jewelry. Therange of collections marries luxury with effortless style in everyday pieces of unique artistry.
In antiquity, the island of Great Britain was known as Albion. For the ancients, it referred to the white cliffs of Dover that line the coast and served as a marker for returning sailors. For the great Romantic poet William Blake, the name represented the liberation of humanity and the dawn of a new day. And for David Yurman, it inspired a collection of radiant bezel-set designs, capturing both the sense of a journey's end and the brilliant beginning of something new.

The typical matching two or three piece suit still worn by men today developed during the eighteenth century, and specifically from about 1800 when trousers replaced breeches. Women have also worn suits since the 1890s, and on many occasions have deliberately looked to this masculine pattern, as in this wartime suit in green wool worsted, retailed by Brenner Sports. Women's fashions in wartime often give a patriotic nod to masculinity or to military detailing. Such manifestations are usually influenced by men's uniforms and can include braiding and frogging, flapped pockets and broad belts, wide padded shoulders and waisted jackets, and even as in this case khaki-type colours. This suit was made at the very end of the Second World War, when fabric was very scarse and when governmental control of civilian clothing retricted the amount of material that could be used in any garment.
The other images below show earlier and later suits, starting with a man's silk example of about 1770, then four men's suits of the 1960s and early 1970s when the "peacock male" was again in vogue, a stylish 1960s tie, a woman's fitted suit from the 1950s, and a strikingly similar Vivienne Westwood "retro" woman's suit of 1999.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Bacon in a Mustard Cream Sauce
Although the main course usually gets a lot of focus for special holiday dinners it's also important to have some tasty sides and these roasted brussels sprouts and bacon in a creamy mustard sauce are a great way to go! This brussels sprout side dish is super easy to make where you pretty much just need to roast the brussels sprouts, cook the bacon and make the sauce. You could go with steamed brussels sprouts for this dish but roasting them really helps to bring out their flavour. The sauce is nice and simple and yet it's just packed with flavour! It starts out with some onions and garlic followed by some flour to thicken the sauce, some milk, the grainy mustard and a hit of miso before it is finished off with some parmesan cheese. You really cannot go wrong with this roasted brussels sprout side dish as a side for your special holiday meal!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Bacon in a Mustard Cream Sauce
Roasted brussels sprouts and smoky bacon in a creamy mustard sauce.
- 1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
- 1 tablespoon oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 strips bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
- 1 tablespoon white miso (optional)
- 1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano cheese, grated
- salt and pepper to taste
- Toss the brussels sprouts in the olive oil, salt and pepper, spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 400F oven until golden brown, about 20-30 minutes, flipping half way through.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a pan, set it aside and drain all but a tablespoon of the grease.
- Add the butter to the pan and let it melt and bubble.
- Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.

Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar is trying to lure the Remington Arms Company to Arizona.
Remington has a plant in New York -- but New York has some of the toughest laws in the country.
Gosar wrote a letter to Remington urging the company to move its plant to Arizona. He wrote, "Arizona is the best state for doing business and for living. The people of my district already welcome Sturm, Ruger Arms Manufacturing in Prescott and American Spirit Arms Manufacturers in Scottsdale. The people in Arizona cherish our constitution including the Second Amendment."
Gosar also wrote that the Verrado area, and Yuma, Yavapai, Gila, or Mohave Counties, would all be good places for the plant.
Paul Gosar represents the 4th Congressional District of Arizona. The 4th Congressional District is made up largely of western Arizona, and includes the cities of Payson, Prescott, Kingman, Lake Havasu City, and Yuma.

The common theme if you pair this video with the Ozarks episode (excellent too) is the elite are building shelters whilst the government are just buying a load of coffins for the rest of us. That's alarming stuff regardless of whether their shelters work for them or not!
If he's indeed in communication with ETs then he's probably done some sort of deal so they will leave his flimsy space station alone.
Spikey December 5, 2012 5:46:04 PM CET
The thing with Bigelow using a private space station as 'an escape pod' is that if an ET faction (genuine, not fake Bluebeam ET) was indeed planning to invade Earth (they've had thousands of years to invade Earth if they wanted to, so why now?) how is sitting in a rickety, inflatable and very flimsy 'pod' in orbit going to protect him and his friends?
If ET can destroy the entire Earth population, or much of it, why couldn't they obliterate his pod easily enough?
I'm thinking the space station is a decoy...he probably has build extensive underground shelters and plans to take refuge there, and not in space.
Of course, if the actual planet is to be destroyed and not only human life...space would be the only option for survival...but then we get back to the flimsy space pod, which could be destroyed very easily too.
Whatever is going on...Bigelow and his 'Cheney' mate seem to be up to their necks in it.
