About 60 people spread out in the 280 seats at the Carver Community Center to hear what the four candidates for Anniston's Ward 2 and Ward 4 council seats had to say about the issues and to choose their candidate.
"I've already made up the decision in my mind," said Luther Ridgnal, a Ward 2 voter. "However, I wanted to find out if there was some additional things that would be said to solidify or make it concrete."
The forum did exactly that for him and he's now ready to cast his vote on Oct. 9, Ridgnal said.
Ward 2 candidates Sheffton Goodson and David Reddick, along with Ward 4 candidates Marcus Dunn and Millie Harris, are the biggest vote-getters from the Aug. 28 election. However, none of them received the 50 percent plus one vote required to win the election.
The four took questions posed by the audience for about an hour Thursday hoping to convince them once again that they were the best candidate for the job. Many of the questions were on issues discussed in the previous forums — crime, education, economic development. But there were a few new questions, including if the candidates supported Sunday alcohol sales or an open-container ordinance for an entertainment district. All four were in agreement on that: They would do whatever their constituents requested. How they would poll the constituents on that topic wasn't addressed.
Some of the questions made quite clear the priorities of the residents at the forum.
"My wife and I proudly send our children to Anniston City Schools," began one of the questions read by moderator Philip Tutor, commentary editor at The Anniston Star. "We have no desire to send them to any of the private schools in Anniston or any of the surrounding areas. It is greatly repulsive how this city has supported the children in the school system for the last several years. How can each of you convince me that you are genuinely concerned about supporting the Anniston City School system?"
All the candidates spoke of their support for the schools and listed their volunteer activities within the system.
Another question, how would the candidates promote joint ventures with the city of Oxford, drew a variety of answers from the candidates.
"If you want to do something right, find somebody doing it better than you, and right now Oxford is doing it better than us," said Dunn, who is currently serving as appointed Ward 4 councilman. "Let's go find out what Oxford is doing, because they are too close for us not to benefit from what they are doing."
Harris, on the other hand, pointed out that Anniston needs to develop itself and its assets to make it attractive for other communities to work on joint ventures; Anniston's airport for instance is located very near Oxford.
"We need to market our airport as a regional hub," Harris said. "They need our cooperation. There are other ways that we can work together, to bring Oxford together, but we cannot force it."
Reddick thought the day would come when Oxford would be knocking on Anniston's door.
"You know, Oxford is on the verge of being landlocked, and we have plenty of land, plenty of property," Reddick said. "What that means is we've got the opportunity to build some things that the only way they're going to get a piece of the pie — and it's not in a confrontrational way, but the only way they'll get a piece of the pie — is if they partner with us on some things."
Goodson said the communities need to come together again and realize that they both have something to offer to the relationship. He talked about the friendly rivalry that existed between the two cities' high schools in the past.
"That's one thing that brought these two cities together," Goodson said. "We have some good ideas of our own, some great ideas. Oxford could learn a few things from Anniston. But, first of all, let's bring our communities back together."

Voting on the state budget is expected to get underway this weekend, and while tax cuts and a minimum wage hike are part of the deal, other controversial issues have been put on hold.
With its minimum wage hike and tax rebate checks for most families, the state budget seems to have something for everyone.
State Senate Republicans, whose influence was expected to wane after losing the November elections, are claiming victory.
"Job creation, tax cuts and middle-income families that are struggling in New York State," state Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos said Wednessday. "Our responsibility is to respond to their needs."
Democrats who were left out of closed-door budget negotiations with leaders are upset that some of their other priorities fell by the wayside, including immigration reform.
"I am very disappointed that in this budget, we will not have the DREAM Act," said Assemblyman Karim Camara, whose district covers parts of the Crown Heights, Prospect Lefferts Gardens and East Flatbush sections of Brooklyn. "We have a diluted version of the minimum wage. It's not $9 now indexed for inflation."
Governor Andrew Cuomo had been seeking a mega-deal that would have decriminalized small amounts of marijuana and enacted changes to the recently approved gun control legislation. But in the end, leaders opted to table them for now.
"Nothing is dropped," Cuomo said Wednesday. "We're going to still work on other issues. We might have an agreement with other issues. We want to get the budget itself underway. It's important that we pass the budget, we pass the budget on time."
The budget bills have now been printed and are sitting on lawmakers' desks, where they will need to age for three days. Voting is expected to begin on Sunday and will likely carry over into Monday morning.

After sampling a few online articles following Sunday's Chase opener at Loudon, I find it interesting that most members of the NASCAR media (i.e., anyone with access to a blog) still find the Chase boring.
Most of these bloggers must remember the good old days when Richard Petty would win races by two laps or when only four or five drivers had legitimate shots at winning on any given week. The truth is, today's racing could be better, but it could be much worse as well.
NASCAR is, at the very least, trying to keep things interesting. The Chase will forever have its detractors, but if it weren't for the Chase these final couple of months would be an afterthought as we wait to crown Tony Stewart.
By implementing a playoff system there is a greater chance of having a dramatic end to the season. It may not happen (see the past couple of seasons), but there's a better chance of the title coming down to the final race than before.
Also, implementing double-file restarts has helped (just ask Juan Pablo Montoya). Instead of someone grabbing a lead and just riding there with a car that's hard to pass, the new restarts have thrown in a bit of intrigue.
"There's a lot more risk for everybody, really, not just the guys starting up front," Jimmie Johnson said. "In the past, as you worked your way to the front, you always felt a little more secure, especially if you got to second. Third over second was much better. Now it depends on which lane is working, and you're not really sure where you need to be and how the restart is going to go.
"So from a driver's standpoint it's more stressful. There is a lot more risk involved, but I think it's putting on a better show."
While Sprint Cup racing might not be perfect, it's appreciably better than in recent seasons.

My contacts sync flawlessly in Outlook 2003 but I can't sync my calendar. No errors are reported when I run the sync and it even goes throught the steps of syncing but nothing apprears in my iPhone calendar.
So I did some research and I only have one of the two COM addins in my Outlook setup (checked by going to Tools - Options - Other - Advanced Options - COM Add-Ins). I only have 'iTunes Outlook Addin' and nothing else. I understand from other threads that it's also meant to have one called 'Outlook iTunes Sync Addin'. Can someone confirm this and tell me .dll it points to please?

deadline for dumping. We asked Maryjane Fahey and Caryn Rosenthal, authors of the hilarious advice book "Dumped," for their wisdom on knowing when to move on, getting over a break up, and most importantly, taking care of yourself.
Is Valentine's Day actually a popular day to get dumped?
Caryn: I have heard of people getting dumped the day before Valentine's Day.
Maryjane: Yeah, so that the guys don't have to give presents.
C: There is a lot of pressure on Valentine's Day. One guy made a date with me on Thursday and then he realized what day it was and he totally cancelled.
MJ: Also, right before the holidays is a really popular time to get dumped, for the same reasons.
What are your ideas for fun things for single ladies to do on Valentine's Day?
C: We're having a party on the 13th and we're encouraging women to do the same. Party with your friends! Celebrate yourselves!
MJ: Don't stress about it, don't stress about having a date.
What's the worst break-up story you have?
C: My first love. When he drove me to dump him I thought, I'll never get over this. I felt like I had lost my arm. I was very young and he was my best friend.
MJ: My last breakup. We were together for seven years and I didn't see the breakup coming. I had to relearn how to live. At first, it's total devastation. Looking back on it, you say, he wasn't giving me what I needed, but in the beginning it's difficult to see that.
C: Most of the time things don't go down with malicious intent. It's more a question of benign neglect. We act surprised, but in fact, you knew it was coming. You knew you weren't happy.
MJ: I just was scared of being out there.
C: Life is all about risks. You have to take a chance.
Maryjane, I loved how you wrote in the book that the first thing you did was buy an orange couch after your break-up. What other cathartic activities do you recommend?
MJ: My thing was really to de-clutter, to get rid of anything that was his and to celebrate who I am. I needed my home to be mine again. You also want to de-clutter him from your digital network. No more chatting, no more sleeping with him.
C: Say yes to everything. Take care of yourself and hang out with your friends.
MJ: Men move on immediately. We say, get to a good place before you move on to another relationship. Get in touch with you.
Apparently, lots of teenagers are having sex with their ex-es. Why is this such a no-no?
C: It's just not good for your self-respect. And I think these kids need to slow down.
MJ: It puts you in a bad place.
C: "Dumped" should be required reading – we need to empower this next generation.
What do men want for Valentine's Day?
C: You're his present!
MJ: Wear something sexy, put on some candlelight and enjoy yourself.
C: Done. Done.
MJ: Why go to a restaurant, they're packed!
You guys emphasize travel in your book – any advice for single women traveling alone?
C: We have a list of safe and beautiful spots for women to travel to alone to in the book. But when traveling solo, use your head, you have to be safe.
MJ: The importance of travel is to just get some space and some me time.
C: I go to a little river town by train, it doesn't have to be so far away – it can be a day trip out of the city. It's lovely to get out and see nature – it doesn't have to be expensive, either.
MJ: I wanted to do all the things that my-ex wouldn't do.
What are the five biggest red flags that your man is a jerk?
1. You aren't having sex
2. He never tells you you're attractive
3. He never tells you he loves you
4. You can't get in touch with him when he's out of town
5. He's rolling your eyes when you're talking to him
6. He cancels plans all the time
C: It takes a lot to come to terms with red flags and to not be in denial. Follow your gut and have the balls to walk out.
MJ: Learn not to accept any crumbs.
C: We want the whole loaf.
What advice would you give to single women in their late 20s/early 30s looking for love?
C: I would say to these women, don't look so hard. Focus on yourself. You need to have self-esteem. Own it, own your sexuality, and know that you deserve the world.
MJ: I would say, don't have such a strict agenda. Don't go in there wanting a baby in seven to nine months.
C: You just can't control everything.
MJ: Your timeline is going to sabotage everything you want in life. Raise your standards.
C: Communicate, communicate. Don't ever be afraid to say what you want.

These lotions are almost perfect. The lotion itself is thick and rich, but when it dries, the skin doesn't feel as moisturized as you might expect. I've tried almost all the fragrances and they're all light and pleasant.
At first, I felt the scent of this was too strong. While I still don't love the scent, the lotion is the absolute best! I will keep using this as long as they make it!
I love everything about this Body Cream. I got the Almond one. It smells great, feels great on my skin. My skin just soaks it up. I love it. I will get more when I'm done with my big tube of it.
Good Product! It was very moisturizing and smooth for the skin/body. Liked this product a lot! Might consider buying it again.
I love 100% pure. They have wonderful products, and this body cream lives up to their standards. The product is creamy and it smells divine!
This cream smells incredible! It applied very smoothly and felt very lightweight all day! It also made my skin feel very soft and not greasy or anything. I totally love using it!
I got the coconut body cream sample a few months back and put it in my travel bag since hotel lotions never do the job on dry airplane legs. At home, I usually use a simple oil like apricot kernel, coconut, olive, or sesame oil to moisturize right after my shower. So I rarely use or buy body lotion. But this lotion was so great I'm going to snag a tube for home and who knows, maybe I'll change up my routine! Only reason it's not getting 5 stars is because I haven't used it enough to know if it's really THAT great.
This lotion smells very good. The problem I have with samples or they are so small you cannot truly grasp if they work or not.
The coconut smells delicious and people will notice. i bought one for my friend too because she couldn't stop talking about it. it's thick and melts into skin quickly, but I can't say it does anything super for the skin. it's just a nice everyday moisturizer that smells good.
This lotion is great, the one downside to it is the fragrance does not last long. I have the coconut one.

Chinese Food Triumvirate
Sat, 02/10/07 3:06 PM
The "Little Saigon" area of Orange County, CA is obviously known as the center of Vietnamese culture here. What is less known, though, is that the area also caters to many Chinese, as well as acknowleding the infuence china has had on it's neighbor. It is interesting to find that three of the best Chinese seafood restaurants are within two blocks of each other, all on the same street. The first one---and my original intro into the area's Chinese dining----is Seafood Paradise, which was covered nicely by Mike S. when I introduced him to it's tanks of live seafood.
A few weeks ago Boris/GloriaJeans and I tried the second one, Capital Seafood. It was so good we returned a few weeks later.
Tuesday, we decided to try the third one. Like thge other two restaurants, Seafood Cove has large tanks filled with live lobsters, crabs and other nautical delights. I beat Boris by a bit, which allowed me a chance for a Chinese Tsingtao Beer and a nice conversation with our waiter. Although the place was still filled with Chinese, this was the most accessible one for non-Chinese----the waiter was extremely fluent in English and spent probably 10 minutes just telling me about differences in sauces, what went better with each item, etc. Definitely a pleasurable, enlightening conversation.
Boris arrived and we started to order. The hot and sour soup was good, full of all sorts of good items. We didn't order the live lobster--------something which I think we both regretted after seeing the table next to us with two lazy susans filled with cooked lobsters. We did order the Orange Chicken----one of Boris' favorites and a dish which is becoming a measuring stick for us at Chinese restaurants. It was flavorful and not too sweet. We also ordered the House Special Scallops. Perfectly cooked scallps, fried and then stir-fried in a spicy sauce with fresh red and green chilies, onions and garnished with slices of green tomato. Yum! With the steamed rice, we had a ton of food. After we gave up, the waiter brought us each a cup of Chinese Dessert Soup. What's in it I couldn't tell you, but it was delicious. Boris didn't make it to his, but it was understandable-----I think we'd eaten enough food for four!
Seafood Cove
8547 Westminster Ave
Garden Grove, CA,
Ph. 714.895.7964
Which place was best? Tough call. Seafood Cove seemed more expensive, but also cleaner and definitely more accomodating and friendly. I think Capital Seafood has a lower price, but is not as nice-looking. Seafood Paradise is huge and probably has the widest choice of live seafood of the three. I think my choice would be to go back to all. Each one has certain high points, so it just really breaks down to what I'm in the mood for and who is accompaning me. all in all, 3 good choices!

"Love this invitation!!! The color is not as dark as the online one looks, but it is still really beautiful! I have received so many compliments from it!"
"I liked this card because it was rather simple and not too cheesy. Most of the recipients commented on how elegant and fun (the back adds a little whimsy) the card was. Because my parents are hosting the luncheon, we had to play around with the phrasing, I wish we could have added at the top of the card: John and Jane Doe invite you.... But we couldn't alter the original design/text. The card stock was nice and the printing was as expected. My ONLY complaint is that I think it is a little pricey for what it is."
"This is such a beautiful baptism invitation. I was thrilled with the paper quality. It was very thick and sturdy. The layout and printing was also incredible. The design on the back gave it a little extra wow factor. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful these invites were. Extremely pleased and satisfied!"
"I got SO many compliments on this invitation. The blue is actually lighter & more of a slate blue than it looks in the picture. Its gorgeous. The pattern is subtle but elegant and the font is spot on. SO glad I went with this one. You wont be disappointed!"
"Ordered these invitations for our baby boy's baptism. I wanted something simple but elegant, and these were the perfect combination. The quality of the printing and paper were excellent! They came out exactly as I envisioned them."

The Art of Forgetting
A Novel
Camille Noe Pagan - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $12.99
"Remind yourself what really matters with The Art of Forgetting. Fast-paced, painful, funny, and renewing at once . . . Take a cue from the book and pass it along to your buds. "
Marissa Rogers has always been just fine as a beta. After all, hadn't taking charge without taking credit been paying off? It's what vaulted her to senior editor at a glossy-if somewhat tedious-diet magazine and let her be best friends with gorgeous, charismatic, absolutely alpha Julia Ferrar.
And then Julia is hit by a cab. Her external injuries are minor, but brain damage steals her memory and alters her personality. To help her friend, Marissa must assume the alpha role and help Julia recover her past. As Julia heals, she begins dredging up memories Marissa would rather forget-including the fact that Julia once asked her to abandon the love of her life.
"A quietly compelling literary debut . . . about the power of friendship and the importance of forgiveness."

It includes a separated synth engine and a Swing user interface for building sound modules.
Kalyp is a fantasy-based roguelike game written in Java. Its design is based on traditions set by popular roguelike games, especially Nethack. It is single player and runs in a text terminal. The project focuses mostly on the Artificial Intelligence engine for the non-player characters. Most of the game design will be done in scripting, as the core engine written in Java will handle user interface, rulesets, basic actions, and try to hold it all together.

Off we go to Lake Havasu for Labor Day weekend 2002. The second trip to spy on the hot bikini babes, hot boats, and wild party action at the lake.
The hot desert weather was bright and sunny, perfect for boating, drinking and general mayhem in the Channel. Let the beer bongs flow and the bodies show!
Within the first hour the boats, beer, beads, and bikini babes are out in full force. These first 100 photos were taken just as the first day got going. The party action and the bikini babes get wilder as the day goes on, so stay tuned for more pics of the action.

This law institutes a process to make paperwork reduction a serious, ongoing effort and introduces measures to make it easier for small businesses to comply with the law. The law:
requires the Office of Management and Budget to publish an annual list of compliance assistance resources available to small businesses in the Federal Register and on the Internet,
requires each federal agency to establish one point of contact to act as a liaison for small businesses and to make efforts to further reduce paperwork requirements for businesses with fewer than 25 employees,
establishes an interagency taskforce to recommend improvements in information collection and dissemination; and
requires agencies to report on their enforcement actions against small businesses and penalty reductions in such actions to Congress and the Small Business and Agricultural Regulatory Ombudsman so that they can monitor the regulatory burden reduction efforts of the Agencies.

Medical meeting exhibitors are struggling to interpret how the recent California Marketing Compliance Law, which regulates pharma companies' promotional activities and gifts to physicians, affects their regional and national meeting activities. While meetings that target only California doctors (such as local association chapters or societies that cater primarily to California physicians) will fall under close scrutiny, opinion differs widely as to whether exhibitors will need to keep track of items they give to California physicians who visit their booths at national — or even international — meetings. (For an explanation of the law, and more information about its application to medical meetings, see story on page 63.)
Regardless of how each company interprets the law, there are ways for you to help your exhibitors with compliance. Here are some suggestions.
- Provide demographic data
Your exhibitors may need to know how many of your attendees are from California. Make demographic data available before the conference (based on previous years' numbers), and provide a final count shortly after the conference closes. Your exhibitors may need this information to give to their internal compliance officers. By showing that you understand the needs of your exhibitors, you may even find that you attract additional participation from companies that are erring on the side of caution.
- Use tech tools
If you still do not use data-tracking methods on your registration badges (microchips in the attendee cards or at least a bar code on the printed badge), get with the times! Exhibitors will begin to demand these options to support their quest for compliance with the CMCL. Even small conferences will need to invest in this technology or risk losing a major portion of their exhibitor revenues. Don't be too dismayed if you have to make a hefty investment to meet this need. You can extend the benefit of this purchase by offering data-tracking software and even data-analysis services as part of your exhibitor packages.
- Educate exhibitors
Don't assume that all your exhibitors will be informed about the new law. A survey of exhibitors at healthcare conferences that took place in California was recently conducted by exhibitor consulting company Marketech Inc. of Westborough, Mass. Surprisingly, a full 28 percent of those surveyed were unaware of the California Marketing Compliance Law. Furthermore, device companies, who have found themselves lumped in with pharmaceutical companies regarding CMCL compliance, may not be as well versed in Office of Inspector General and Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America guidelines. By appointing a member of your staff to help device exhibitors — and any others who need information — understand their obligations, you will win their appreciation and support.
- Offer compliant gifts
Consider partnering with companies that sell guideline-compliant educational products, such as medical textbooks and anatomical models. By highlighting acceptable options in your exhibitor marketing materials, you position yourself as a proactive leader in medical meetings.
- Stay informed
The California law looks to be only the first of many. Maine, Vermont, Nevada, New Mexico, Minnesota, West Virginia, and Washington D.C. are all drafting laws that could be even more restrictive of pharmaceutical marketing activity. Appoint an internal specialist to keep an eye on how things progress. Keep that person tied closely to your marketing and business development teams to ensure that the services you offer to exhibitors and commercial supporters include information about these important new industry regulations.

Roberto Di Matteo has been shortlisted for FIFA's World Coach of the Year 2012 award, while former Chelsea man Didier Drogba is nominated in the players' category.
It follows our success in last season's Champions League, in which Drogba scored our equalising goal and netted the winning penalty in the shootout, an unlikely achievement before Di Matteo took the reins, when we faced elimination from the competition in the early knockout rounds.
After lifting the European Cup in May, we have carried that form into this season and sit a point clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
Former manager Jose Mourinho, now with Real Madrid, is also listed in the coaching category.
The full lists of nominees can be seen below, and the winners will be announced on January 7, with votes taken from the coaches and captains of national teams and international media representatives.
The following 23 men (in alphabetical order) are in contention for the FIFA Ballon d'Or 2012:
Sergio Aguero (Argentina), Xabi Alonso (Spain),Mario Balotelli (Italy), Karim Benzema (France), Gianluigi Buffon (Italy), Sergio Busquets (Spain), Iker Casillas (Spain), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast), Radamel Falcao (Colombia), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden), Andres Iniesta (Spain), Lionel Messi (Argentina), Manuel Neuer (Germany), Neymar (Brazil), Mesut Ozil (Germany), Gerard Pique (Spain), Andrea Pirlo (Italy), Sergio Ramos (Spain), Wayne Rooney (England), Yaya Toure (Ivory Coast), Robin van Persie (Netherlands), Xavi (Spain).
The following ten coaches (in alphabetical order, first nationality and then team) are in contention for the FIFA World Coach of the Year for Men's Football 2012:
Vicente del Bosque (Spain/Spain national team), Roberto Di Matteo (Italy/Chelsea), Alex Ferguson (Scotland/Manchester United), Pep Guardiola (Spain/ Barcelona), Jupp Heynckes (Germany/ Bayern Munich), Jurgen Klopp (Germany/Borussia Dortmund), Joachim Low (Germany/Germany national team), Roberto Mancini (Italy/Manchester City), Jose Mourinho (Portugal/Real Madrid CF), Cesare Prandelli (Italy/Italy national team).

Woman tried to stop car that killed herMay 02,2013
By Brent Curtis
It wasn't until she was in the middle of the street that Jane Outslay saw the car that was barreling down on her and she turned to face it.
With her canes held above her head, the 71-year-old tried to get the attention of the driver, her friend Sharon Hughes told police.
But it was too late.
An instant later, the car hit the Mendon woman with what Hughes described as "brutal force."
"Hughes said that she looked down the street ... and could only see the taillights of the car. She added that the vehicle never swerved, never applied the brakes and never stopped," Detective Sgt. Abdelnour of the Vermont State
Police wrote in an affidavit filed in Rutland criminal court.
Abdelnour's report became available Thursday, shortly before Christopher Sullivan of Rutland pleaded innocent to a pair of felony charges that accuse him of being the driver who killed Outslay on April 10.
Accompanied by his lawyer, Barry Griffith, and an unidentified man, Sullivan, 53, walked into a courtroom filled with members of state and city police officers. Absent from the proceeding was any member of Outslay's family, who all chose to stay away.
"We don't find it necessary," Greg Outslay, Jane Outslay's youngest son, said in a phone interview before the hearing. "It doesn't do anything more for the memory of my mother.
Sullivan's arraignment on charges of leaving the scene of a fatal crash and driving under the influence during a fatal crash — which have the potential to send him to jail for up to 30 years — began moments after he entered the courtroom Thursday.
Throughout the brief proceeding, Sullivan, who worked 19 years as a litigator for City Hall, kept his eyes trained on the front of the courtroom.
No bail was requested in the case — although Assistant Attorney General Cindy Maguire asked the court to impose a $10,000 unsecured bond which Sullivan did not need to pay to remain free.
Several conditions were also requested and imposed, including a prohibition against drinking or possessing alcohol and an order requiring Sullivan to submit to breath tests from police officers who will come to his home at random. He was also ordered to turn over his passport.
Sullivan quickly left the courtroom at the end of the hearing and he and Griffith declined to speak to reporters as they left the courthouse.
In a statement issued by Griffith on Wednesday night, hours after state prosecutors announced the charges being brought against Sullivan, the attorney wrote:
"Today I received a telephone call advising that the attorney general's office plans to file criminal charges tomorrow against Christopher Sullivan. I accepted a citation agreeing that we would appear in court tomorrow to respond to the same. We were informed that the charges to be filed may include allegations of driving under the influence. To my knowledge, no one who was with Chris in the hours before this tragic accident believes he was intoxicated or impaired in any way that night. We have not yet been provided with a copy of the proposed charges, or the reports which the prosecution believes could support those charges. We will closely review those reports when received, and respond appropriately."
Abdelnour's affidavit appeared to support that view. Several people who were with Sullivan at a cookout on the night of April 10 told investigators they saw the former city attorney drink one beer at the gathering on Hazel Street in the city.
However, Sullivan told investigators he drank three glasses of wine at Center Street Saloon in downtown Rutland earlier on April 10, as well as three or four beers at the cookout, according to the affidavit.
Using Sullivan's estimate of three glasses of wine and three beers, together with his weight and the time that had passed since he began drinking that night, investigators estimated that Sullivan's blood-alcohol content ranged from .079 percent to .129 percent.
If he consumed four beers instead of three, the estimate range increased to .097 percent to .147 percent.
The legal limit to drive in Vermont is .08 percent.
Sullivan said he visited the bar at about 5:10 p.m. that day — a timeline corroborated by employees at the bar who told investigators that Sullivan and his law partner Paul Kulig drank three glasses of pinot noir during their time there. The pair left the bar sometime between 6:35 p.m. and 6:45 p.m., the bar's staff told police.
Witnesses at the cookout on Hazel Street told police that Sullivan brought a 12-pack of beer with him to the gathering. The owner of the home and another witness told police that Sullivan was only seen drinking a single beer at the event.
At about 7:45 p.m., Sullivan said, he left the cookout to pick up his son, who was working at Hannaford's supermarket off Route 7 in Rutland Town.
As he was driving on Strongs Avenue at about 8 p.m. that night, Sullivan allegedly told investigators, he heard a "thud."
"He advised that it was raining and his windshield wipers were on," Abdelnour wrote. "He stated he panicked, kept driving and was unsure what to do."
Sullivan told police he drove his 2004 Lexus sedan to the Hannaford's parking lot where he noticed damage to the hood and windshield of his car. The detective also said the impact from the crash dislodged the rear-view mirror from the windshield of his vehicle. Police later found a large hole in the passenger's side of the car's windshield, the detective wrote.
Sullivan then made a phone call to seek advice from Kulig, who told him an ambulance had arrived at the scene on Strongs Avenue and a person was taken to the hospital, the detective wrote.
After that conversation, Abdelnour wrote, "(Sullivan) believed at that point there was nothing he could do."
Sullivan then drove home and parked his car behind his garage, where it stayed until the next day when he went to city police with Griffith. At 1 p.m. April 11, about 17 hours after the crash, Sullivan identified himself as the driver and surrendered his vehicle to investigators.
"Mr. Sullivan would advise that he did not feel he was impaired or intoxicated at the time of the incident," Abdelnour wrote.

The winners for September's Picture This Photo Contest are in. This is what Charles Mann, the judge for this month, had to say.
"I want to thank the people who took the time to submit a photo for the Autumn Harvest's Picture This Photo Contest. This was perhaps too broad of a category and I offered a lot of very general information.
As a writer and photographer, I agree with many pundits who have observed that the more narrow and specific the focus, the easier it becomes to locate the creative imagination. To paraphrase Robert Pirsig in "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," creative writing about the courthouse is more difficult than writing about the second brick from the bottom on the northeast corner of the courthouse. That said, the fun photos submitted this month reflect the many different interpretations suggested by the Autumn Harvest theme.

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today after House Republicans passed the Ryan budget by a vote of 221-207. For the third year in a row, all House Democrats voted against the Ryan-Republican budget blueprint:
"The Ryan-Republican budget is nothing more than more of the same Romney-Ryan policies that the American people rejected last November – yet nearly every House Republican supported it and those that voted against it did so because they wanted to go further to the right. Once again, House Republicans doubled down on a budget that will risk two million jobs next year, stall our economic recovery, raise taxes on the middle class, and end the Medicare guarantee. That is not a 'path to prosperity;' it is a 'path to pain' for working families, children, seniors, and our economy.
"For the third year running, not a single House Democrat voted for the Ryan budget. Democrats stood united in opposition to Republicans' extreme, ideological, partisan agenda and stood up for fairness, opportunity, and equality for all Americans.
"It's time for Congress to enact a budget that reflects our fundamental values as a nation – a solutions-based plan that responsibly reduces the deficit and strengthens the middle class. That's what Democrats put forward and Republicans rejected; now, let's work together to enact a plan that creates jobs, grows our economy, and brings down our deficit in a balanced way."
