By BETH HARRIS / The Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — "Days of Our Lives" won drama series honors for just the second time in 40 years at the Daytime Emmys in a rough-hewn ceremony that included more upsets and an envelope mix-up on Sunday night.
Sheryl Underwood hugs Doug Davidson, winner of the award for outstanding lead actor in a drama series for "The Young and the Restless."
The Associated Press
The NBC soap opera that began in 1965 beat out defending champion "General Hospital" and former three-time winner "The Bold and the Beautiful," among others.
The category included the only four remaining soaps still airing on the broadcast networks in addition to "One Life to Live," which has found new life on the Internet after being canceled.
"Days" only other drama series win was in 1978.
The show claimed one other trophy: Chandler Massey as outstanding younger actor.
Doug Davidson of "The Young and the Restless" and Heather Tom of "The Bold and the Beautiful" won lead acting honors.
Davidson earned his first career trophy for a role he's played since 1978. Tom, who previously was on "Y&R," repeated her win from last year.
Davidson had been nominated seven times in various categories for playing Detective Paul Williams on the CBS soap.
"It suddenly occurs to me that the presenters are younger than my tux," he said. "I would like to thank the viewers. They have been more than fans, they've been like family to me. They've supported my character in some very difficult times."
Tom of "B&B" won for her role as Katie Logan, who struggled with post-partum depression and abandoned her baby in a major story line. Last year, she became the first person to win Daytime Emmys in the younger, supporting and lead categories.
"It's awesome. I'm so grateful to be part of this community," said Tom, the fifth woman to win consecutive lead actress honors in Daytime Emmy history.
CBS claimed eight trophies during the telecast, giving the network a leading 21 wins including those from last week's creative arts ceremony. PBS was second with 14 wins.
The show had its unexpected moments, including Corbin Bernsen uttering two expletives during the in memoriam tribute that included his late mother Jeanne Cooper of "The Young and the Restless."
The ladies of "The Talk" presented outstanding talk show informative and when Aisha Tyler opened the envelope she quickly realized it was the wrong one.
"Oh, this is interesting," she said. "This winner is not in this category."
The audience in the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton gasped at the error.
"There better be a cocktail waiting on my table," Tyler said before being handed the correct envelope from the wings.
Tyler then announced "The Dr. Oz Show" as the winner.
"I was having heart palpitations, real ones," Dr. Mehmet Oz said onstage.
In another surprise, Scott Clifton of "The Bold and the Beautiful" and Billy Miller of "The Young and the Restless" tied for supporting actor in a drama series.
"It's fantastic," Miller said about sharing. "I assumed it was Scott's. I didn't hear my name which is why I was trying to sit down when they were pulling me up."
Julie Marie Berman of "General Hospital" won supporting actress honors. She has since left the ABC soap.
Kristen Alderson of "General Hospital" won the younger actress category.
In an upset, first-time nominee "CBS Sunday Morning" beat out heavyweights "Good Morning America" and the "Today Show" for outstanding morning program.
"We snuck in while nobody was looking," host Charles Osgood said.
Ricki Lake, whose daytime comeback has been canceled, won outstanding talk show host.
Ben Bailey of "Cash Cab," which is no longer being produced, picked up his third win as outstanding game show host. "The Price is Right" won game show honors.

Cassie Getting Dressed By Rag & Bone For Met Gala
Cassie was one of the guests in attendance at the McQueen "Savage Beauty" opening, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, last week. We thought you might enjoy these images of her being readied for the red carpet in a crew assembled by Rag & Bone designers, David Neville and Marcus Wainright, whose dress she wore and with whom she attended the event. Here's what they had to say about her dress:
"Cassie donned a custom rag & bone dress made of cobalt blue washed calf skin, stingray and quilted waxed leather. The hard, angular silhouette and high back neckline was inspired by some of the Elizabethan themes so often referenced by McQueen."
On the next page, see the dress, plus her spiked-out Louboutins and more.

I'll snap a pic right now of how I did my basement windows. Not glass block, but exact layout as you have.
I am in the process of finishing my basement and am not sure how to proceed with the window boxes. The windows are glass block which is surrounded by concrete block.
I was thinking of finishing using wood for a deep "sill" and drywall on the top and sides but am unsure as to how to frame it or deal with the transition between the concrete and the glass block given the small margins?
Any ideas will be appreciated!
I'll snap a pic right now of how I did my basement windows. Not glass block, but exact layout as you have.
Well, I'm stuck and can't figure out how to upload files here.
I have done exactly as you have with framing. In one area, I did drywall on the bottom and sides of the opening, left a gap so it's not touching the walls just in case water should get into the window.
In my basement office, I framed it all in nice wood. They both look really nice. Just wish I could upload the image.
OK, I think the image uploaded...
Ignore the fact that it's pretty dirty, don't use that corner of the basement often and still need to finish repainting the window.
Here's another one.
Hope this gives you some ideas.
Sorry to say, but both of those look pretty rough to me, JOHN_P.
I would just do a simple drywall return right into the glass block. Why you would want to leave the block exposed is beyond me. Just use some of the L edge for 1/2" drywall where it meets the glass block and call it a day.
What dimensions did you rough in that framing to? What does it match up with the cinder block?
Thx for being honest.
In my case, I couldn't drywall to cover the block because it would have left too narrow a gap to open the window, but yes I could have finished it off a little nicer for sure with some thinner material.
Actually when they are clean, they look pretty nice, not perfect, but nice.
Yes, you have to work with what you've got.
In this fellows case though, he doesn't have to worry about opening the window at all.
The reason I asked what the rough in dimension is:
I would subtract 1" from width and height of the opening in the block for the framing rough in, and use 1/2" rigid foam between the block and the drywall and use the proper adhesives on that end.
I would frame around the opening, then use construction adhesive to fasten the drywall to the block, while nailing the front edge to the wood framing.
The glass block is a poor insulator and is occasionally wet with condensation. It probably would be best to finish the drywall short of the glass.
Thanks for the ideas guys, I think I have enough to carry on now.

Storm Over the Pacific is a strategy/simulation game that takes place during 1937-1945. It depicts the conflict between the Japanese Empire, the USA and other allies during World War II. Choose from 26 available countries with their precise army structure. You can concentrate on controlling one country or govern a few to feel like a leader of the whole alliance, or to fight with yourself. Thanks to this kind of freedom the Storm Over the Pacific offers you hundreds of hours of entertaining gameplay.
Choose if you want to play truthfully to history or if you prefer to follow their your path. It's up to you how you will use your divisions, planes and ships; how you will conduct technological development, whether or not you will use the nuclear bomb and how you will respond to the historical and random events which might occur during gameplay. It's entirely your call whether you choose to be fast and aggressive, or cautious taking well-considered decisions according to the geopolitical and economic situation, current weather and the lay of the land in the range of operation. Playing Storm Over the Pacific, you will feel as if you had become a leader of a country during the Pacific War.
Even though the AI set to high difficulty can cause a lot of trouble even to veteran players, nothing will give you as much satisfaction as beating another player or cooperating with him against AI in Hot Seat or PBEM mode.
An innovative interface is also a very important element of Storm Over the Pacific. It's worth noticing that it's configurable, allowing you to freely arrange the information and managing components on the screen. Thanks to this kind of freedom, the interface becomes intuitive for everyone. It's possible to administer all your troops on the main map, the player has everything at hand, saving time and allowing to concentrate on the most important aspect of the game, which is devising a suitable strategy.
A scenario editor and an event editor are both included. These developer tools were used during the creation of the game. They will let the gaming community easily modify already existing scenarios or create new ones, significantly extending the replayability of the game.

Ellen and I were driving up the dirt road to a friend's place on Saturday. Rounding a curve, I spotted a man off to the right under the piñon pines lying on his side. He had his back to us, so I couldn't see what, if anything, he was doing. He might have been asleep; he did look a bit like a hobo stretched out for a nap. But as we drove on I figured, no, he's probably just found a comfortable way to do what we're going to do: gather piñon nuts.
I tried various close-to-the-ground positions under our friend's trees. My back didn't like kneeling after a while. My hip didn't like sitting for very long. The best by far, once I'd identified a fruitful square yard, was to lie out as the "hobo" had, legs stretched out straight, hip nestled in the pine needles, up on one elbow picking slow handfuls of berry-brown seeds.
Out the living room window the last few mornings, chipmunks have been working the sagebrush. The little guys climb a branch and nibble off a fruiting panicle then sprint back to the ground – so fast sometimes it's hard to follow the movement – where they sit upright and devour the seed stalk between their paws as if it were a giant corn dog. Flat rocks near the sage are covered in half-eaten stems.
Everybody's gathering, storing up for harder times.
Another friend needed help getting a load of firewood from a local sawmill. We drove my pickup, Old Bailey, out there and filled the back with foot-long scraps. We worked languorously – stooping, throwing, talking about avalanches and our various infirmities. How it's OK in our autumn years to ski a little less, to wait, and harvest the perfect-powder days.
It did occur to me as we talked and worked – though I didn't say as much – that this easy scavenging was perhaps an indication of diminished times. Not the sorry economic times we find ourselves in so much as the contrast with a vigorous, not-so-long-ago youth, when I would be out at this time of year in the high aspen and spruce forests, selecting the best dead snags and felling them with the chainsaw, bucking them up, and hauling them out of the woods.
It was fantastically hard work, especially if the trees were some distance from Old Bailey. But it was fantastic work, too. We needed six cords to get through a winter, so there were days and days to practice what became a kind of sweating Zen exercise in efficient movement, a perfect safety record, and the fine art of flinging BTUs. Plus it was just so great to be out there in the Indian-summer sun, a billion leaves rustling, the smell of winter coming, black dirt giving under my boot heels – while people in blaze orange drove past hunting different game.
Ellen spotted the first elk carcass on Saturday. It was opening day of the first combined (deer and elk) rifle season. A bull with a sizable rack had been laid out on a flatbed trailer. There was no mistaking the position he lay in. It was not natural. He was not sleeping. His head twisted awkwardly to the sky as the great antlers hung up on the boards.
The aspen leaves are almost all gone now, blown to Kansas by that Category 3 storm we had last week. But down lower here on the Uncompahgre River, the cottonwoods still blaze. And the tough desert plants show their own colors in death: yellow grasses, light pink saltbrush, the translucent white disks, like rice paper fans for chipmunks, of a ground cover I haven't yet identified.
Turned out there were subtle color differences in the piñon seeds we hunted through. Some were brown, some were black; the grayish ones had obviously been on the ground too long. We cracked them with our teeth and sampled the meat. It was not clear what color shell produced the best nut.
Lying there in the windless warmth with the smell of pitch on our hands and the dappled light playing across the ground, it was almost possible to forget another rite of autumn – especially intense this fall – with all of its outsized meaning and emotion.
Unlike the elk and the chipmunks – who just know – we stitch together fragments of remembered past and imagined future, experiment with what we want to believe, worry that practical instinct has been bred right out of us. And then we vote.

I have a perfectly functional Lion install, It's been working fine for the past couple of months, however I decided I wanted to partion my hard drive and install Windows 7 Ultimate on the other partion.
The only problem is that I lack an optical drive, so I used the windows USB DVD tool to create a bootable Windows USB installer. Installing Windows itself was fairly simple, however after I created my user account, and as the desktop was loading, my computer did a reboot. When I went to load Windows, it just hung at the "Loading Operating System...", after multiple reboots, the same thing would happen every time. I even used a chameleon boot loader off of a usb to try loading it, and it just hung.
I then went into my motherboard bios settings, and changed the SATA mode from AHCI to IDE. Which caused Windows to boot perfectly fine into the desktop.(With no drivers, bar some poor quality audio ones). However when I am in IDE mode, I am unable to boot into OSX.
I did some research and found out that Windows 7 should install the drivers for AHCI automatically during installation, so I don't understand why I am having this issue. My hardware is:
http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barracuda ... B002O0KVT4
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/produc ... id=3503#ov
I have re-installed Windows multiple times, and even tried that trick where you change some registry settings to allow AHCI boots, and none have worked.

James Henry Lunceford, 31, of Anniston, told police he needed to use the car to go shopping, Anniston police Capt. Allen George said.
"He said he had to run errands because his vehicle was out of gas," George said.
According to the captain, the vehicle, a 2008 Chevy HHR, was recovered from Skinner's Body Shop in Oxford Wednesday, where it had been towed after a hit-and-run.
"Lunceford wrecked it and left it on the side of the road," George said.
George said Lunceford took the vehicle from the victim's residence when she was at work. The victim told police the car belongs to her father who works out of town, the captain said.
The report did not say how Lunceford knew the victim, but he had access to her home, George said.
The victim told police that her car went missing sometime between Aug. 16 and Aug. 19 but she did not report it to the police until Aug. 19, the captain said.
George said Lunceford turned himself in Monday and was in the Anniston City Jail on Tuesday. His bond is set at $10,000 and his court date is scheduled for Sept. 30.

I was a little disappointed in this shirt. I tend to like my clothing looser but this was just not very flattering. It makes me look much wider and bigger because of the amount of tshirt. I love the back but wish there were something to the front to give this shirt a little something extra than looking like a plain, baggy tshirt. Like I said, I like things looser but I definitely don't like them looking baggy/moo-moo!
Best Uses
...any yet so interesting! I got tons of compliments on this one. I ordered it in the brownish/gray color and am very happy with my purchase. I am 5'4" and 118 lbs and the small fit perfectly. While it's more conservative in the front, it does show your lower back so you may want to pair it with pants/a skirt that doesn't ride too low. Perfect for fall!

The Wrong Move?October 10, 2012
The Washington Redskins have chosen to employ their 19th place kicker since 1994, a staggering number that Dan Steinberg of the DC Sports Bog put up on twitter Tuesday(@DCSportsBog), with the NFL average around 8.5 during that time, and no other team being higher than 13, during that time.
As ESPN 980 first reported, the Redskins have signed place kicker Kai Forbath, a 25 year old talented but untested leg, out of UCLA. He beat out 39-year old veteran Olindo Mare and the younger 32-year old, Josh Brown.
It struck me that dysfunctional organizations (no matter how hard they try) are always going to make moves just to make moves, instead of making moves that always make sense.
No I am not talking cutting Billy Cundiff. Clearly, that decision has/had backfired. The Redskins had no choice. Nobody was expecting Cundiff to make a 62-yard field goal attempt in St. Louis, or a 57-yarder in Tampa near the end of the half.
Everybody, has every reasonable right to expect that he would make a 31-yard FGA two weeks in a row, and both weeks he has missed -- along with a 41-yarder in Tampa.
There's no way that one game winning kick in Tampa from 41-yards out can make up for all the damage done, to a team with little/no margin for error. Sorry Billy.
The decision had to be made, and made today. The problem is again, the Redskins have put their trust in a 25 year old with no regular season game experience, and that can be a very dangerous element.
The "moves just to make moves" statement goes all the way back to the release of Graham Gano and Neil Rackers..There was no reason to have both go all through the preseason and training camp and release both within about 22 hours of each other.
I mean, REALLY??? I know Billy Cundiff was somewhat surprisingly cut, or at least in some eyes it was a surprise. The Redskins viewed it as a gift. It was one they would ultimately have to send back, as the new toy feel quickly vanished. Cundiff was very average last year, and cost the Ravens a chance to get to the Super Bowl.
The bottom line was this. Graham Gano was a steadily improving young kicker who Mike Shanahan didn't trust and also did not like for many reasons. So he made a move just to make a move and hoped that he could trust a proven Cundiff over the young, but now experienced booming leg of Gano.
Forbath, seems like a young, inexperienced version of Gano but somebody that Danny Smith can mold and develop. Except, Gano didn't need to be developed anymore - and by all accounts - Forbath's leg is no where near Gano's leg strength. He only had 2 touchbacks in 9 kickoffs this August, although he did kick a 55 yard field goal for the Bucs before losing out to a stud like Connor Barth.
Gano was very good down the stretch last year, and after dealing with a back injury for part of the off-season - was just beginning to hit his stride.
I can talk about this issue forever. It's not going to change. I strongly believer ONE person does not want Gano back in the building, and that's a head coaches prerogative - but in a critical year of development for the franchise, a merry-go-round at place kicker was the last thing that was needed.
Robert Griffin III has been cleared to return to a no contact practice on Wednesday,according to USA Today, who cited a conversation on Tuesday night with Mike Shanahan on Tuesday night.
Robert seemed in very good spirits on Wednesday morning and is expected to talk as scheduled Wednesday afternoon.
The Redskins have to get better on third downs if they are going to win more consistently. The obvious area of concern is on offense, at 23.3%, which is pathetic. The Redskins are only averaging 2.8 conversions (32nd NFL) on the money down per game, over five games.
Perhaps more startling, and somewhat puzzling is that the Redskins are allowing teams to convert 39.3% of the time, (24/61) on the season. That's up from last year's 37.4% mark, which had climbed from the 35 % mark in 2010.
Perhaps even more alarming is that while the Redskins have played two very good offenses in New Orleans and Atlanta, they've also played two opponents in Cincinnati and Tampa who are ranked 30th and 31st in third down conversions per game. The Bengals for all of their bells and whistles are averaging only 3.0 per game, while the Bucs are at 3.2 per game.
Gano is Gone, Will he make the Redskins pay?August 28, 2012
I can't say that the Redskins did not give Graham Gano a fair shot. That would be wrong of me.
I can say, he deserved a better fate. Gano was released on Tuesday morning, as ESPN 980 first reported.
I'll be perfectly up-front and I don't really care if it bothers you or not. When you cover a team, and you are inside a team facility more than you are at home with your kids - you develop relationships if not friendships.
Graham Gano, was and is -- one of the best people I've met and worked with, and we always had a good friendship that extended beyond just media & player.
I can also say this, I strongly believe the Redskins will regret this decision for a long time. It's easy to say that kickers are a dime-a-dozen and I get that. To some degree.
It's easy to say, he missed chip shot field goals, and way too many kicks and I get that. Kind of.
He also won a few games with his leg on a team that quite honestly hasn't won many games in the end. Anybody remember his overtime game winning kicks against the Packers, Titans and Jaguars in 2010???
Yeah, his critics ALWAYS fail to mention those. Nobody seems to remember the 13-13 stretch he had in December of last year. He might have finished with 16 in a row, if not for a couple of blocks.
The bottom line is, and I know this for sure, Mike Shanahan was never a big fan of Gano's and just didn't want him moving forward if somebody he and the staff deemed more experienced and better, became available.
Whether Billy Cundiff turns out to be the right move or not - is on Mike Shanahan. I believe Danny Smith was chewing a lot more packages of gum than he wanted too with Gano, but I am pretty sure that Danny would have liked to keep Gano in a perfect world.
Of course, it's not. Nobody distinguished themselves from each other in training camp and the pre-season, so the Redskins cut both Neil Rackers and Gano. OK, didn't see that one coming.
It got me thinking. Nobody can question Gano's leg strength. It's impeccable. His accuracy? OK - that has been an issue as opposed to distance.
His kickoff ability? You can throw every stat you want out there, but the bottom line is, Danny Smith believes in directional kicking and trying to pin a team, while using wind and weather conditions as an aid.
Touchback percentage (Cundiff vs. Gano) really does not matter. Gano, if asked too, could have booted every kick from Landover to the National Mall if he wanted too.
You want to argue execution? Fine, he wasn't perfect - but name me a football player, let alone a 25 year old, that is perfect every time he is asked to do something.
Go ahead, name ONE. I'm waiting...I have all day. Really I do.
The name Jason Elam was brought up in a conversation I had today. With that in mind, I brought up a side by side chart of both Gano http://bit.ly/NV7cKW and Elam http://bit.ly/SOtVZW and tried to make a fair comparison.
Elam started with Denver at the age of 23 in 1993, under Wade Phillips and was (26-35) in his rookie year, and only (4-10) from 40-49 yards during that season.
Gano was signed by the Redskins late in the disastrous 2009 season, at the age of 22 (younger than Elam) and was a perfect (4-4) in his attempts.
In 1994, still coached by Wade Phillips, at the age of 24 -- Elam was (30-37) overall and (7-12) from 40-49.
In 2010, at the age of 23, Gano - now coached by Mike Shanahan - was 24-35, while going (8-10, from 20-29), (4-7, from 30-39), and (11-14, from 40-49). He was also (0-3) from 50 + but again had three game winning overtime kicks, and barely missed a fourth (Week 2 @ home vs. Houston, 52 yard MFG in overtime). His overall percentage was only 68.6% but the Redskins also had one blocked, pushing his percentage for argument's sake to 70.5%.
In 1995, Elam, in his first year under Shanahan, at the age of 25, going into his third full season (where Gano is going now) was (31-38) and (5-7) from 40-49.
In 2011, Gano's third season but only his 2nd full campaign, at the age of 24, Graham went (31-41) with the 5 blocks, contributing to his miss total - so in reality, he was (31-36) at a 86.1%.
After that third full season, Elam hovered between 75 % and a high of 93.5% in Shanahan's final season in Denver.
His first three year percentages were (74.3, 81.1, 81.6). Gano's first 2 1/4 season percentages in adjusted math, were (100, 70.5, 86.1) and with no adjustment (100 (4 Games), 68.6, 75.6).
Still with me? Good. As you can see, Elam was more consistent perhaps, but didn't make the statistical jumps that Gano made, year over year.
He made a big leap forward later in his career, but it took time. I understand that Mike Shanahan feels he doesn't have time, and is under big pressure.
He's not going anywhere this year. You can write that down. Everyone knows that. I'm surprised Shanahan did not remember what he inherited two years into Jason Elam's career.
I'm glad he gave Elam the chance, because he proved that you can get more consistent with age and experience.
Something he didn't give Gano the chance to do. I just wonder why, and will this decision come back to haunt the Redskins.
I hope for Graham Gano's sake it does, and maybe he will have his revenge one day down the road.

AP source: Redskins release K Gano, sign CundiffAugust 28, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) One day after he appeared to win the Washington Redskins kicking job, Graham Ganois out of work. His replacement is Billy Cundiff, who spent two days unemployed after getting cut by the Baltimore Ravens.
Gano was released and Cundiff signed by the Redskins on Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had yet to make a formal announcement.
It was an abrupt development in the Redskins kicking carousel. Gano stood at this locker feeling excited and looking forward to the season Monday after his lone competition in training camp, Neil Rackers, was sent packing when the team made its first round of cuts.
But Gano's numbers have never been impressive. He has made 73.8 percent of his field goal attempts since joining the Redskins (No. 25 in the AP Pro32) late in the 2009 season, the second-worst percentage in the league over the last three seasons.
Gano, 25, missed 11 attempts in 2010, tied for most in the NFL. He had a league-high 10 misses last season, although five of those were blocked. He beat out Rackers without attempting a field goal in the Redskins' preseason games, coming out ahead based on his performance during practice.
Cundiff's statistics are only marginally better. The 32-year-old kicker has a career field goal percentage of 76.7 with the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns and Baltimore. He joined the Ravens during the 2009 season and went to the Pro Bowl season in 2010, going 26 for 29, but last season he missed a potential game-tying, 32-yarder against the New England Patriots in the waning seconds of the AFC title game.
Cundiff also has limited range. He is 5 for 19 over his career from 50-plus yards, including just 1 for 6 last season. He was cut Sunday by the Ravens, who opted to go with rookie Justin Tucker.---

Gano holds off Rackers in Redskins kicking battleAugust 28, 2012
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) Going by the stats, Neil Rackers should have been a runaway winner over Graham Gano for the Washington Redskins kicking job.
That's why Gano has learned not to pay attention to the stats.
The Redskins cut Rackers on Monday, giving Gano the kicking duties for another season despite an NFL-high 10 missed field goal attempts in 2011.
Then again, Gano also had an NFL-high five attempts blocked. Four of his other five misses were from 49 yards or more.
"I think early in my career I was a big stat guy," Gano said. "But now I don't even focus on statistics. I don't look at what's going on around the league or listen to any of that mess. I think if you look at mine now, it'll say my percentage is somewhere in the 70s, whereas in reality last year I was 86 percentage, in my mind, if you take away the blocked kicks."
Rackers' release came as the Redskins trimmed their roster to 75, the first round of cuts toward firming up a 53-man regular season roster by the end of the week. Gano realized he had won the job when he saw Rackers carrying belongings outside the building.
"You wish that we could both be here all year long," Gano said. "To be able to come through and win this job, I'm excited about it. At the same time, you feel for Neil. To get to know him and his family, it's hard to see this happen."
This was a competition essentially decided on the practice field. The Redskins (No. 25 in the AP Pro32) attempted only two field goals in their first three preseason games, both by Rackers. He made a 28-yarder and missed from 54.
Coach Mike Shanahan said Gano "won the statistical battle in practice" and that the 25-year-old kicker gets "undue criticism" because the blocks last season weren't the kicker's fault.
Rackers arrived with a strong pedigree. The 36-year-old kicker has played for the Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans over 12 seasons, and his 88.2 field goal percentage over the last three years is third best in the NFL over that span. The Redskins signed him as a free agent when he couldn't reach a new deal with the Texans.
Gano, who joined the Redskins late in 2009, has a percentage of 73.8 over the same time period, second-worst in the league.
He's also 5 for 8 on game-tying and game-winning field goals in the final two minutes of a game or in overtime, with all three misses coming from 47 yards or more.
Those are the kicks that really matter - according to the advice Gano received last week when he met Mark Moseley, the only kicker ever to win league MVP. Gano sat with the former Washington kicker's family at the Redskins Welcome Home Luncheon.
"He was very encouraging, telling me sometimes you're going to miss kicks, but if you make the big ones, that's what's important," Gano said. "That's what made him such a big deal here, that he hit the game-winners."
Notes: The Redskins' other cuts included QB Jonathan Crompton, WR Samuel Kirkland, RBs Antwon Bailey and Lennon Creer, TE Beau Reliford, LB Monte Lewis and OLs Tony Moll, Chris Campbell, James Lee and Nick Martinez. ... CB Morgan Trent (knee, shoulder) was waived with an injury settlement. ... WR Lance Lewis (groin) was waived-injured and is expected to receive an injury settlement. ... RT Jammal Brown, who had hip surgery last week, was moved from the active physically unable to perform list to the reserve physically unable to perform list. ... CB Kevin Barnes was traded to the Detroit Lions for a conditional draft pick. ... S Tanard Jackson was absent from practice due to personal reasons. ... TE Chris Cooley did not take part in drills. Shanahan said Cooley wasn't feeling well. ... LG Kory Lichtensteiger, who is missing the entire preseason while recovering from left knee surgery, practiced and said he remains on pace to play in the Sept. 9 regular season opener against the New Orleans Saints. "I'm encouraged. I don't see anything standing in the way of me being ready," he said. ... Shanahan said fourth-round pick Kirk Cousins will start at quarterback Wednesday in the preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Robert Griffin III and most, if not all, of the projected regular season starters will get the night off.

Gano, Rackers battling to be Redskins kickerAugust 13, 2012
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) One of four preseason games down and the Washington Redskins are no closer to resolving their kicking competition.
That's because neither 25-year-old incumbent Graham Gano nor challenger Neil Rackers, who'll be 35 next week, attempted a field goal during Thursday's 7-6 win at Buffalo. Gano kicked the game's only extra point. Each kicked off once.
The next chance for Gano and Rackers, who have each made 16 of 19 attempts in practice during training camp, to hit a kick when it counts comes Saturday at Chicago.
"Ultimately, it's games," said special teams coach Danny Smith, who was frustrated that Washington had a .756 field goal percentage in 2011, the NFC's second-lowest.
"It's about execution under pressure. We're going to try to put them in those pressure situations and see who executes the best. Obviously, I know Graham better, but my job is to get to know the other guy well, too. I'm sure most of you will be able to pick it after four preseason games. It's going to be on production."
Rackers has been one of the NFL's most productive kickers during his 12 seasons with Cincinnati, Arizona and Houston, converting 80 percent of his field goal tries and ranking ninth among active kickers with 1,164 points.
A Pro Bowl pick when he made 95.2 percent for the 2005 Cardinals, Rackers had his next most accurate seasons the past three years for the Texans. That included 32 of 38 in 2011. However, Rackers and the Texans couldn't agree on a contract and he signed with the Redskins in April.
"I enjoyed my visit here and decided it was a good spot," said Rackers, who has forged a good friendship with Gano despite the fact that one will no longer be with the team when the season starts next month.
Rackers is the first true threat to Gano, who didn't have to fight for his job in 2010, his first full season. After making just 24 of 35 that year while working with three holders, Gano's only competition last summer was Shayne Graham, who signed after camp started and quickly fizzled. But then Gano had a league-high five kicks blocked last year. Not all were his fault.
"I knew it was coming," said Gano. "I just didn't know who it was going to be. I grew up watching Neil. He's a good kicker. (But) I look at it as I'm the only kicker here and all I have to do is make my kicks and I don't have to worry about anything else."
Although Gano has the advantage of youth and tighter relationships with Smith, holder Sav Rocca and snapper Nick Sundberg, Rackers isn't worried either.
"You'll age quick in this league if you worry about what (the coaches are) thinking," Rackers said. "Sometimes (the kicks) go through and sometimes they don't. How you're going to hit the next one is the one that's important. I feel great. I've been hitting the ball well. I'm going to do this until 32 teams tell me no. If someone wants to give me a job at 70, I'll do it then, too."
Notes: Left tackle Trent Williams, who injured his left foot on the touchdown at Buffalo, has a bone bruise and might not be ready for the Bears' game. ... Maurice Hurt, who has been starting in place of injured left guard Kory Lichtensteiger, could miss a couple of days with an inflamed knee. ... DE Jarvis Jenkins, who played Thursday for the first time since tearing an ACL last Aug. 25, was out Saturday with the flu. ... CB Morgan Trent is sidelined with knee and shoulder injuries. . The Redskins finally heard from Kentwan Balmer, who left camp on Aug. 1, but the defensive end will not be returning to the team.

First guess at a final 53-man roster. The surprise cuts are Tim Hightower (never gets healthy enough/maybe IR) and Anthony Armstrong. Tough decisions for Mike Shanahan at WR, DE, LB, and DB for sure. I kept Gano (just a hunch), Banks (track record of making plays as a returner), and Doughty (he always survives).
QB--Robert Griffin III, Rex Grossman, Kirk Cousins
RB--Evan Royster, Roy Helu Jr., Alfred Morris
FB--Darrell Young
TE--Fred Davis, Chris Cooley, Niles Paul
WR--Pierre Garcon, Josh Morgan, Santana Moss, Leonard Hankerson, Brandon Banks, Aldrick Robinson
OL--Trent Williams, Kory Lichtensteiger, Wil Montgomery, Chris Chester, Tyler Polumbus, Maurice Hurt, Willie Smith, Jordan Black, Adam Gettis, Josh LeRibeus
NT--Barry Cofield, Chris Baker
DE--Adam Carriker, Stephen Bowen, Jarvis Jenkins, Darrion Scott
OLB--Brian Orakpo, Ryan Kerrigan, Rob Jackson, Markus White
ILB--London Fletcher, Perry Riley, Lorenzo Alexander, Keenan Robinson
CB--DeAngelo Hall, Josh Wilson, Cedric Griffin, Richard Crawford, Kevin Barnes
S--Brandon Merriweather, Madieu Williams, DeJon Gomes, Tanard Jackson, Reed Doughty

Skins' Summer StorylinesMay 23, 2012
OTAs are underway, minicamp is right around the corner, and training camp will be here before we know it. RG3 was the story in March, April, and May. He'll be the story in June, July, August, and September as well. Nothing will trump anything RG3 does, good or bad, from now until the first month of the regular season. But there are other things to talk about. Here's a list.
1. The Offensive Line: How will it shape up? Will Lichtensteiger be healthy enough to perform at the level he did early last season? Will Jamal Brown be healthy enough to be worth keeping? If he isn't healthy enough or good enough to be an obvious starter at right tackle, see ya. Trent Williams staying clean and becoming a legit top-half-of-the-league left tackle is as important as anything on this team other than improvement at quarterback. Is Will Montgomery good enough to beat out potential competition from others (see Lichtensteiger) and remain as the starting center? Could a rookie like LeRibeus or Gettis be good enough to start at guard and allow Lichtensteiger to move to center? Maurice Hurt played last year because they had no choice. Is he good enough to play or even make the team if the two rookie guards are as some have advertised?
2. The Secondary: Hall and Wilson are penciled in as starters at corner. After that, the other 5-6 corners/safeties that eventually make the final roster are unknown at this moment. The best guess is that Brandon Merriweather should be the closest thing to a lock because he's essentially the only one that got any meaningful guaranteed money. DeJon Gomes got significant time at the end of last year and showed he belongs. Madieu Williams will get a serious look but isn't a lock to make it. Same for Tanard Jackson, Leigh Torrance, and Cedric Griffin. Kevin Barnes may get more of a look at free safety than corner. But then who's the nickel corner? Maybe a rookie like UVA's Chase Minnifield (who could've been a 2nd round pick if not for an injury) makes a run at the final roster. And don't forget the possibility that a starter or key contributor may not even be on the roster right now.
3. Playmakers: Is there enough playmaking speed on offense? RG3 is the single biggest playmaker addition to the team. Will Garcon be the deep threat and the after-catch threat he was in Indy? Will a slimmer Santana Moss turn back the clock? Will this offense be a perfect fit for Josh Morgan? Is Leonard Hankerson the real deal? The biggest offseason need other than upgrading at quarterback was adding more playmaking speed to the offense. The jury is out on whether or not they added enough of it.
4. Cooley: We may know sooner rather than later if Cooley remains a Redskin. OTAs are his test. If he's healthy and faster, he stays. If the knee acts up and he runs slower than they want, they may cut him loose.
5. Jarvis Jenkins: We've heard big talk about this kid and he's yet to play a regular season game. He is reportedly stronger than he was before the injury. Shanahan said he was the best defensive lineman in camp last year. The expectations are huge. Anything less than a havoc-wreaking defensive playmaker will be a disappointment.
6. Kicker: Neil Rackers vs. Graham Gano.
7. Brandon Banks: Is their best playmaker of the last two seasons going to be back to do it again or will they turn to someone who plays a position too? Or, will he get more looks at wide receiver?
8. Niles Paul Tight End Experiment: Will it work? Even if it doesn't, they love him on special teams.
9. Inside Linebacker Depth: Did they get it with draft pick Keenan Robinson?
10. Rex Grossman: Is it possible that RG3 and Cousins are so good and catch on so fast that Rex becomes expendable?
2011 Redskins---12 Things to RememberJanuary 21, 2012
This list is for me but I'll share it with you. It's a list of things about the Skins' 2011 season that I want to remember when we get to free agency, draft, and beyond.
1. Rex Grossman Makes Throws But Can't Make Plays. After 13 games of Rex in 2011, my mind is made up. I like the way Rex throws the football and I love his competitiveness but I can't live with his inability to make a play when the play as-designed breaks down. His lack of mobility, lack of feel in the pocket, and overall lack of extend-the-play ability is just too limiting. Good teams in the NFL have quarterbacks who can extend plays. Teams that score touchdowns in the red zone usually have quarterbacks who can extend plays. It's Grossman's biggest limitation and it's why they shouldn't bring him back.
2. Evan Royster and Roy Helu. While neither is Chris Johnson speed-wise, they're both perfect for the Shanahan running-game scheme. As impressive as Helu was with three straight 100-yard performances in weeks 12-14, I thought Royster was the more-impressive pure runner.
3. No WR YAC. The Skins lack playmakers on offense for sure and much of that is simply that their wide outs can't turn 15-yard pass catches into 30+ yard catches. How many times did Moss, Gaffney, Stallworth, et al make a catch and either fall down or immediately get tackled. Other than QB, this team's biggest need is a playmaking offensive player. They need a WR who can score touchdowns from a distance.
4. Front 7 Impressed. The defensive front 7 was impressive all season long. The free agent additions of Cofield and Bowen were a huge net gain. Adam Carriker played well at times and the linebackers led by Fletcher and Kerrigan were solid. Orakpo can struggle at times against the run and he needs more consistency as a pass rusher but I'm still hopeful his edge speed can wreak havoc. Kerrigan's motor is non-stop and he's a natural playmaker. The emergence of Riley as the other inside LB was a nice surprise.
5. The Davis/Williams Disappointments. Here's the bottom line with this from my perspective. Both were dummies for doing what they did but the overall feeling about both of them from within is that they're not bad people. Given their talent and in particular, the investment in Williams, the Redskins have no choice but to give them a second chance. Williams is under contract which makes the decision on him easy. Davis is a UFA. I would do my best to sign him to a deal that minimizes the risk to the team but incents him to behave and peform.
6. Kory Lichtensteiger. With him, 3-1. Without him, 2-10. Lichtensteiger became late in 2010 and early in 2011 their most reliable offensive lineman.
7. 5 Blocked Field Goals. The Skins were lucky it wasn't more than five. They could've easily had 2-3 PAT's blocked. The problem was interior blocking. Each of the five blocks came from up-the-middle pressure.
8. Clock Managment. This was a problem all season long but reared it's ugliest head in the season-finallee at Philadelphia. With no timeouts and 17 seconds left, the Skins threw a pass short of the goal line, in bounds, and then tried to get the FG team on before the clock ran out. Other examples of horrible clock management included not knowing that they needed to spike the ball after a huge completion at the end of the Minnesota game and using timeouts on offense at the end of the Jet game. Additionally, they never seemed to have a true hurry-up offense. In the Jet game, it took them close to 25 seconds to get snaps off in their supposed "hurry-up".
9. 3rd and 21. If not for an all-out blitz on 3rd and 21, the Redskins would've likely started the season 4-0.
10. Rex's Return Equaled Offensive Competence. The three John Beck games (at Carolina, at Buffalo, SF) were offensive disasters. He seemed terrified and was clearly in over-his-head. When Rex came back against Miami, the Redskins were far more competitive over the final 8 games of the season.
11. Could've, Would've, Should've. A) Both Dallas games were winnable....3rd and 21 at Dallas and Gano's overtime miss at home. B) New England at home looked good until an offensive pass interference penatly was called on Santana Moss on the potential game-tying or game-winning touchdown. Remember, Shanahan indicated he would've gone for two and the win. C) Minnesota at home if not for a horrible holding call against Darrell Young on a Brandon Banks game-tying touchdown run. On the flip side, if not for a 4th and 5 TD pass from Rex to Moss the Skins wouldn't have beaten Arizona.
12. Biggest Offseason Needs. QB, WR, OL, CB, S, and a coach that knows how to manage the clock at the end of halves and games.
Skins-Eagles Preview and PredictionJanuary 01, 2012
For the 15th time in the last 19 seasons the Redskins will play a meaningless game in their season finallee. Pathetic. With that said, I'm a believer that they are in better shape as a football organization than they've been since the 2001 Marty Schottenheimer season. Can they win today? Yes. Here's how.
1. Young players are hungry and play with fight. The Redskins have younger players trying to prove something and the likes of Royster, Willie Smith, Tyler Palumbus, Ryan Kerrigan, DeJon Gomes, Perry Riley, etc have so much to play for. With an early start on New Year's Day of a meaningless game, the winning team is often the one most interested. The Redskins have more players on the field with more to prove.
2. Turnover winner may equal game winner. The Skins have the worst turnover margin in the league at -15, the Eagles are 2nd-worst at -14.
3. Run the ball and keep defense off the field. T he defense was the culprit last week and it has been more often than people like to say. 241 yards allowed on the ground last week to Minnesota is far too many. Evan Royster could have a big game in Philly and will need one to a) keep Rex protected against the Eagle pass rush which has been very good and b) keep the Skins' defense and Vick off the field.

Summary of Emotional First Aid Summary of Emotional First Aid Reviews for Emotional First Aid An Excerpt from Emotional First Aid
First aid for failure
Although we have bandages for cuts, chicken soup for colds, and ice packs for bruises, most of us have no idea how to treat day-to-day emotional injuries such as failure, rejection, and loss. But, as Guy Winch, Ph.D., points out, these kinds of emotional injuries often get worse when left untreated and can significantly impact our quality of life. In this fascinating and highly practical book he provides the emotional first aid treatments we have been lacking.
Explaining the long-term fallout that can result from seemingly minor emotional and psychological injuries, Dr. Winch offers concrete, easy-to-use exercises backed up by hard cutting-edge science to aid in recovery. He uses relatable anecdotes about real patients he has treated over the years and often gives us a much needed dose of humor as well.
Prescriptive, programmatic, and unique, this first-aid kit for battered emotions will appeal to readers of Unstuck by James S. Gordon and Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff.
Praise for Guy Winch and his Work
"Dr. Guy Winch's practical, clever and clear-headed book offers proven remedies for the myriad pains of daily life. Timely application will prevent small and medium-size emotional ills from becoming bigger ones—and that's just what the psychotherapist ordered."
—Jeanne Safer, PhD, author of Cain's Legacy: Liberating Siblings from a Lifetime of Rage, Shame, Secrecy, and Regret
"The advice Winch offers in this refreshingly useful book is both practical and practicable -- down-to-earth techniques that really can bring relief when things feel like they're falling apart."
—Anneli Rufus, author of The Big Book of Low Self-Esteem
"[An] outstanding work...This smart tome is a valuable addition to the self-help oeuvre."
—Publishers Weekly
"Excellent for all disgruntled souls out there."
—Library Journal
"Winch's book was not only helpful; it was positively entertaining. His stories are memorable as well as hysterically funny."
—Psychology Today
"You should run, not walk, to the closest bookstore and grab a copy of The Squeaky Wheel. Not only do I recommend this book but I would like to see it be required reading for every adult and near adult on the planet."
—The Self Improvement Blog

Yes, the service can be lacking but..... – if you know what you are looking for the food is actually quite good. They do seem to need some better management of the crowds they get. I never went with a party just a few of us and the wait staff often did try to seat us within 20 mins. I would avoid the happy hour, drinks not as good and the food very ordinary. But if you stay and try their sake and the speciality maki- yum!
Citysearch Editorial Review – This swank Asian eatery is known as much for its food as its nightlife. With a lively bar scene unto its own right, a spacious courtyard equipped with a bar, and a nightclub in the back with a separate entrance, patrons can earn cool cache by dropping that they were here last night. Decor is classic 21st century sushi lounge: walk through a heavy drape to encounter polished woods, deep reds, striking sconces, bamboo accents, sharp angles smoothed by unexpectedly rounded edges and seating areas positioned at wayward yet complementary odds with one another. A massive sake list, with many avail by the bottle, gives this American take on a Japanese concept even more of a lounge feel.
Horrible service! – Friends and I went to Raw on a Friday night. We were told it would be 45 minutes for a table and so we said we'd wait at the bar. After an hour, we still hadn't been seated. When we asked the manager, he thought we decided to eat at the bar. Since he realized now we didnt, he would seat another table and then, us right away. Another 30 minutes go by and nothing. In that time, the other group (which should be noted came in after us) was seated as well as numerous others. When we told the manager we were leaving, rather than an apology, he proceeds to tell us that we were the only walk-ins for the night and that he already told us there was a wait. Definitely an unacceptable response and horrible customer service. There are plenty of great sushi restaurants in the city and my friends and I will never go back.
what happened? – what happened here? i haven't been to raw in several months, and was looking forward to sushi with a very good friend...i'm fine with their prices, but the sushi (and everything else we ordered) lacked the luster that i was expecting. moreover, our waitstaff was slow and aloof; when we told him our dumplings weren't hot, his response was "oh", and he walked away!! i wished i had gone to vics - may not have raw's atmosphere, but their sushi is far better....
HORRIBLE SERVICE WILL MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR APPETITE! – <3 sushi live 1.5 blocks away from Raw been wanting to try it for some time. Passed by before & looked chic/good quality & menu seemed reasonably priced. Proposed Raw to my friends on a special occasion, called & got a reservation for table inside at 10PM. Despite the late reservation we were all (7 of us) excited & arrived by ten oclock with an appetite! Informed our table wasnt ready we were asked to have a seat. We were never told how much longer the wait would be, indeed we hardly had the opportunity to ask the girl who welcomed us as after about 20 minutes she avoided us like the plague when she must have sensed our frustration rising. The only explanation we got was that there wasnt a table available yet because the reservations before us were still eating. By half past ten our patience was tried & we asked to speak to the manager about our socalled reservation. She gave a halfhearted apology but said there was nothing she could do (though we could think of a few things such as seat us at the bar for drinks/appetizers). Finally we were asked if we'd mind sitting outside though in the middle of winter & were assured of heat lamps; eager to be seated we said fine imagining that we were agreeing in order to be seated immediately! On the contrary another quarter hour passed before we inquired into our table again & after some time we were led to the patio where we watched the waitstaff haphazardly clean the table...& observed there was one heatlamp to heat our table of 7! In the time we stood waiting we realized how freezing it was & that we would not be able to eat in that temperature. At 11PM an hour after our "reservation" with no idea when "our table" would be ready we walked out empty-stomached with no intentions to ever return. By that time it was too late to find anywhere else to go so we got takeout from the pizzeria around the corner. Our fancy dinner plans were utterly ruined! If you plan on an enjoyable experience out w/ friends don't go to Raw!
Not worth it – It food was less than mediocre. It food wasnt worth it and overprice. (who charges &12 for two shrimp tempura. And there was no indication of it). So not worth it.
Great sushi – Creative and delicious rolls, nice environment, and fantastic service...I will definitely be back! I didn't have reservations but I was still seated promptly. The booths along the opposite side of the restaurant seemed much more comfortable than the more crowded tables where we sat though.
Inept Managers – I had high expectations for this place given the ratings....I was so wrong.
Ambient: dark and narrow in the inside (waiters bumping into you as you eat - no apologies ), chilling outside (if you're like you get to sit near a heater, otherwise bring a blanket)
Food: good, but below POD
Service: OMG!!!!!! we get in with a reservation, we wait 25 MIN to sit (I remind you: we had a reservation), while the girl at the entrance clearly avoids our faces everytime she steps into the room. We finally get the food, and after less than 45 min the manager comes and basically urges us to wrap up!!!!! Why? apparently, they screwed up the reservations and there's an angry mob at the entrance (my guess: with reservations).....
Friendly advice: price/food quality but especially /service quality VEEEEEERY below par
worst customer service ever – Worst experience ever. I've never been treated so badly in my all life. We reserved a table for 10 PM and at 11 PM we were still waiting and they didn't offer us anything...no drinks, no appetizers...we were starving!!!
How is the food?I cannot tell...we left after more than one hour of waiting. They should learn how to treat customers!!
Speechless - worst dining experience ever – I reserved a table 3 hrs in advance.
I waited for 1 full hour with no drinks, water or apologies from the staff.
I left embarassed after they were trying to kick out a table to have me sit.
Just don't get into the restaurant business if you can't sit clients.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Eric Russell firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
ALFRED – A Biddeford woman who police say was shot twice by her landlord just before he killed her son and the son's girlfriend has filed a lawsuit seeking at least $1 million in damages.
A makeshift memorial stands across from 17 Sokokis Road in Biddeford, where Derrick Thompson and Alivia Welch were shot dead, in this December 2012 file photo.
Shawn Patrick Ouellette/Staff Photographer
In this Dec. 31, 2012 file photo, James Pak, center, appears in York County Superior Court to face charges of fatally shooting Derrick Thompson, 19, and Alivia Welch, 18, in Biddeford. With Pak is his attorney, Joel Vincent, right.
Shawn Patrick Ouellette / Staff Photographer
Susan Johnson, 44, is suing James Pak and his wife, Armit Pak, on eight counts ranging from assault to intentional infliction of emotional distress in the shooting Dec. 29 and in the months of harassment that preceded it.
In the lawsuit, filed late last month in York County Superior Court, Johnson calls for the Paks to "adequately compensate (her) for her injuries and damages, including compensatory and punitive damages and attorney fees, and impose interest, costs and all other relief that this court deems just and proper."
The Paks have not filed a response, and documents did not indicate whether they had an attorney in the lawsuit.
James Pak, 74, is charged with murdering Derrick Thompson, 19, and his girlfriend, Alivia Welch, 18, and attempting to murder Johnson. All three were shot at close range with a .357 revolver. Johnson was shot in the back and the right arm. Thompson and Welch were both shot in the chest.
Pak was arrested about three hours after the shootings and has been held without bail since then.
The lawsuit sheds more light on the events of Dec. 29 and the exchanges between Pak and his tenants in the preceding weeks. It largely mirrors the account in the police affidavit filed in support of the murder charge against Pak.
Johnson's attorney, Twain Braden, laid out her account in a 22-page complaint.
In it, Johnson says she inquired in September about renting an apartment that is connected to the Paks' home on Sokokis Road in Biddeford. She looked at the apartment twice, once alone and once with her son, who was going to live with her.
The two moved in on Sept. 30 after paying $900 for the first month's rent plus $900 for a security deposit.
Almost immediately, Johnson says, they clashed with James Pak, mainly over Thompson's girlfriend, Welch, who stayed at the apartment frequently.
Pak and his wife told Johnson that they would be charged an additional $200 a month if a third person was going to live there, the lawsuit says.
Johnson says she told Pak that Welch was not living there and that she and her son were entitled to have visitors.
Pak continued to pester the mother and son about Welch's visits and other things, the lawsuit says, such as the level of heating oil and the fact that the tenants were keeping belongings in the Paks' garage.
Johnson says Pak confronted her son about 10 times from October to December.
"He was frequently abusive, shouted constantly in his confrontations, made lewd gestures at Derrick and, when someone else was attempting to speak, had a habit of holding up his hands (and) moving his fingers in the manner of a puppet," the complaint reads.
Johnson says Armit Pak often apologized for her husband's behavior.
The tension escalated in December, when Johnson was late paying that month's rent, the lawsuit says. Johnson told Pak that she would pay it only if he made improvements to the apartment and stopped harassing her and her son.
On Dec. 17, Johnson says, she found what she thought was an eviction notice on the door, but discovered when she called the court that no notice had been filed.

Asthma and corticosteroid use for cats
Asthma in cats is a common bronchial disorder, often caused by inhaled allergens. It is difficult to ascertain which particular substance produces the distinctive symptoms of wheezing and coughing that are characteristic of asthma. During an asthma attack, the muscles near the trachea contract which causes great difficulty in breathing.
Your pet cat could be allergic to anything around her. This includes pollen, smoke, deodorants, perfumes, flea sprays, or even the dust from the litter box.
If you hear you cat wheezing and/or coughing, it is recommended that other disorders like hairballs, congestive heart disease, and pneumonia be ruled out. This is essential since asthma can easily be confused with any one of these other conditions. Hairballs that accumulate in the alimentary canal cause symptoms like wheezing. Pneumonia and congestive heart disease also produce symptoms that are similar to asthma.
To confirm whether your feline friend has a bronchial infection or a lung inflammation, chest X-Rays and blood tests can be conducted to confirm the diagnosis. In some cases, a sample of cells needs to be taken from the bronchial or tracheal passage to establish what is affecting the area.
Asthma in cats advances in severity over time and is not fully curable. It can be managed with medication, but it is difficult to eliminate. However, veterinarians try to control the symptoms using the following:
- Inhalers: A device that sprays a synthetic hormone, corticosteroid, into the air passage.
- Bronchodilators: Drugs that relax and dilate the bronchial passageways and improve the flow of air into the lungs.
- Oral drug therapy: The pill version of a corticosteroid, such as prednisone.
Administration of corticosteroids needs to be monitored by a specialist because unrestricted use can lead to excess hormones being ingested. This can cause Cushing's disease in cats. Cushing's disease is a glandular disorder caused by abnormally high levels of the hormone, ACTH. Even though Cushing's disease in cats is less common than Cushing's disease in dogs, the need to monitor the hormone levels and control medication is essential.
Hyperadrenocorticism in dogs, another name for Cushing's disease, is a common occurrence in geriatric dogs. It is more often seen in cats that are diabetic and have a resistance to insulin.
Cushing's disease and asthma in cats are not curable disorders. Prevention is the only way to avoid complicated treatments later.
