never saw that tweet, how did he get arrested and keep it out of the news until now?
Just watched "Inside Edition", whom did a 5-minute segment on this, ending with Johnny saying "it's a private matter" and refusing to comment, as it should be. jmho.
You agree that it's a private matter, but you still watched the entire five-minute segment....
You should never write words with numbers. Unless you're seven. Or your name is Prince. - "Weird Al" Yankovic, "Word Crimes"
I wonder where Johnny bit his hubby? Hmmmmmm I hope not his crown jewels.
I just finished reading all the comments posted in this thread and am stunned that I never saw anything in the media about this, especially since Johnny Weir was arrested (that would certainly be cause for a media-swarm, right?) This is all quite odd IMO (and scary, as is anything associated w/ domestic violence).
None of this makes sense to me, especially Victor's tweets from around the time of the incident.
Well, who knows what really happened, but I wish Johnny the best. I hope they either work things out or part ways with reasonable civility.
This is very upsetting, I do not understand how they can still be together after that. Violence is absolutely terrible. But it is of course their life and nobody was there with them.
What I do not understand: You can be convicted of battery and theft (if that us true) and work as a lawyer?
And what was this about Johnny being bald ?
I somehow wished I had not seen this thread. It makes me sad.
I'm sorry I saw this thread as well - its really sad and does not bode well for them. I couldn't find anything that said he was actually arrested, just that Viktor filed a police report - I would think that if he was arrested, someone would've printed his mug shot along with this story. Anyway, I hope that they take a serious look at their situation and get some help.

After reading your post, sunny_sari, I also feel a bit worried for Johnny. The concerns you raise are serious . . . For Johnny's sake, I hope this situation is not as bad as it seems like it could be.
I've actually been sort of mad at Johnny the last couple weeks! I mostly loved his commentary in Sochi, but I didn't agree with his stance on Sotnikova's victory. And toward the end, I felt he went a bit too far in his fangirl-support of all the Russian skaters, in particular Ilinykh/Katsalapov, Lipnitskaya, and Sotnikova. So I've been kind of mad at him, but it's only temporary. Ultimately, I'll always be a huge fan of Johnny and his skating, so all this news about him & Victor is worrisome. I'd been hoping marriage would bring some stability to Johnny's life.
Oh, and I find the "jokes" in this thread about the situation with Victor just really, really un-funny.
It's a bit weird that 90 % of Victor's tweets are about Johnny. Like he wouldn't have any own life. I have also read all kinds of rumours of him. I know that domestic violence is a very serious issue but did he really have to go to police for this kind of reason, a bite?
This entire matter is very, very sad. I did not realize that Johnny had been arrested. I pray that he and Victor will be able to work things out although, right now, it looks doubtful. Sometimes we forget, when seeing all of the happy gay weddings on TV, that even gay couples can split. It wasn't in the 'Happiness Play Book' but it's real life.
Call be Polyanna but I still hope that Johnny & Victor will be able to reconcile and go back to happiness.

Blue Raiders win four matches on opening day of Dale Short Shootout
Zito and Legzdins win doubles match and singles matchesSeptember 21, 2012 · @MTAthletics
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - The Middle Tennessee men's tennis team opened its fall season on Friday with four players playing in the Dale Short Shootout at the Buck Bouldin Tennis Center. Two players, Ben Davis and Christoph Lang, opened play at the UVA Ranked Plus One Invitational in Charlottesville, Va.
The Blue Raiders in the Dale Short Shootout got off to a good start on Friday afternoon, winning a pair of doubles matches against Lipscomb. The team of sophomores Yannick Born and Marlon Brand broke serve twice in the first five games to take a 5-1 lead, defeating the team of Oliver Strecker and Miguel Cortez 8-3. Ettore Zito and Tomas Legzdins also got out to a 5-1 advantage in their doubles match against David Salazar and Colby Shaw. However, the duo from Lipscomb came back to get the match to 7-6 before Zito and Legzdins put them away 8-6.
Zito and Legzdins also won their respective singles matches on Friday. Legzdins won his first set against Lipscomb's Tanner Brown 6-2 but dropped the second set in a tiebreaker 7-6. The freshman bounced back and defeated Brown in the third set 6-2. Zito won in straight sets over Strecker 6-4, 6-1 and won the last six games of the second set. Born and Brand both dropped their singles matches in straight sets.
Davis and Lang started their day at Virginia in doubles action, falling to the tandem of Alexis Huegas and Michael Voscek of VCU 8-3. They then beat Bryan Welnetz and Tomas Hanzlik of Penn State 8-5 in the consolation bracket of the Red Doubles draw. In singles play, Lang lost a close match to Thomas Weigel of North Carolina State 7-5, 7-6 (7-5) in the Gold Singles draw. Davis lost in three sets 6-3, 4-6, 2-6 to Alejandro Argente of VCU in the Orange Singles draw.
Middle Tennessee is back in action in the Dale Short Shootout Saturday morning at 9 a.m. with matches against Southern Illinois. Davis and Lang will have two singles matches and another doubles match at Virginia Saturday as well.

The Declaration (The Declaration, #1)

Katie's review
bookshelves: dystopian-apocalypse
Sep 26, 11
bookshelves: dystopian-apocalypse
Read in September, 2011
This was an interesting read for me. I liked the premise, but moreso, I enjoyed the style of writing. I liked being able to get perspectives from several different characters and didn't find it confusing at all. It was a bit of a slow start (quick read, though!), but picked up as the book went on, and I will definitely pick up the next book. However, I will say that there have been other YA dystopian books I've read recently that I did find myself to be more interested in ("Birthmarked" was great). But if you like dystopian stories, then I think it's worth checking out.

An In Depth Report On The Domain Name Lawsuit
By Kentucky Public Radio
Frankfort, KY – Governor Steve Beshear says Internet gambling sites are nothing but leeches on our communities illegally siphoning millions of badly needed dollars from the commonwealth. Beshear says they pay no taxes, aren't regulated by the state and provide no jobs. So, last month, Kentucky seized the domain names of 141 of the gambling sites and refuses to give them back unless the sites block access to Kentuckians. Last week, dozens of lawyers representing the gambling sites showed up in Franklin Circuit Court, seeking the lawsuit's dismissal. They say the court has no jurisdiction because none of the domain names are registered in Kentucky, and the names, as defined by state law, are not illegal gambling devices. But in a 43-page order denying the dismissal motions, Judge Thomas Wingate ruled the domain names are present in Kentucky. The ruling was extremely satisfying to Justice Secretary Michael Brown. He found probable cause that these 141 domain names were involved in illegal gambling activity in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, that the domain names can be viewed as gambling devices and it was appropriate for me, as the agent for the governor, to bring the lawsuit on behalf of the commonwealth.
Judge Wingate will hold a hearing November 17th, to decide if the 141 domain names should be forfeited to the state. But why is the state seeking forfeiture and what will it do with the domain names? Secretary Brown. Forfeiture would enable us to go back to the registrars, as you heard the testimony, and present them with a legal order stating that this domain name is now the legal property of the state of Kentucky and we as the owner of the domain name could take steps with the registrar to stop illegal gambling.
But Brown says Judge Wingate gave the gambling sites a simple out, which allows them to retain ownership. If they will install software or engage in whatever they need to from a technological point of view to block Kentucky users and block themselves from Kentucky, he will relieve them of the seizure order.
It's not that easy says Washington attorney Edward Leyden, who represents some of the domain name owners. It reminds me of a guy I saw on the radio this afternoon who said if I send him fifty bucks, he'll send me a black box that makes sure I get 40% more miles per gallon.
Frankfort attorney William Johnson also represents some of the gambling sites. Johnson says Judge Wingate's ruling covers a lot of legal ground and he's carefully studying each point. One of the critical questions is the matter of jurisdiction.
And Johnson still questions whether the Justice Cabinet, instead of the attorney general's office, has legal standing to initiate and prosecute the lawsuit. There's certainly a question in our minds as to whether it's appropriate to use private council by the Justice Cabinet.
The state says it's not trying to shut down the gambling sites. It just wants access blocked to Kentuckians. And some damages would be nice, too, says Secretary Brown. We think there have been damages and it's obviously a normal thing to proceed in the civil suit, but our main interest and the governor's main interest all along was to stop the activity.
Asked how much money the state may seek in damages, Brown wouldn't say. He says, We're not at that point yet in the proceedings.

10 Apr 2012 Accountancy Age
By Richard Crump
AFTER A sustained period of market uncertainty and volatility, the initial public offerings (IPO) market is showing signs of recovery.
PwC's IPO Watch Q1 2012 report found that a total of 58 IPOs raised €2.3bn on the European stock markets during the quarter compared to €0.9bn in Q4 2011 and €3bn in Q1 2011.
Although activity remains muted compared to historical levels, the prospects for future IPOs have been boosted by the encouraging trading of a number of recent issuers, and renewed market stability.
Mark Hughes, capital markets partner, PwC said: "A number of IPOs are pricing at the top end of their range and have generally performed well in the aftermarket, which can only be good news for those companies considering an IPO later in the year.

Analysing Excellence: How CFOs can drive business decisions by interpreting data
8.30am, 26 Jun 2014
Targeted at FDs and CFOs, the FD Conference 2014 provides a platform in which to learn from outstanding keynotes and network with like-minded peers
This article focuses on CFO's top priorities for process improvement and highlights how CFOs can win approval for change programs.
The Autumn Statement contained a surprise announcement that the "last 3 years" exemption for principal private residence relief will be reduced to 18 months for disposals on or after 6 April 2014. This article looks at how significant the change could be with a 'back to basics' look at three situations which will be affected.

I am obsessed with dry shampoo, and definitely loved this one. It is great for traveling, it smells so good, and it is certainly an effective product. I have an oily scalp especially after one day washes, and this dry shampoo gave my hair an excellent look the next day.5
So I bought this to test out the effectiveness before buying the larger version. After about 3-4 uses (light uses) the spray nozzle broke and wouldn't dispense any product. I shook the can and it was still almost completely full. Couldn't get the cap fixed so I had to throw it out :( But the smell was nice and didn't smell like alcohol. I loved what I had used so far and ended up buying the bigger version anyways.4

Our Season is Cancelled
Wildfires that struck the Mazama/Winthrop/Twisp/Carlton area beginning July 17 have knocked out all power and most communications to our entire region, with no recovery expected for an extended period of time. Our heart goes out to all the families that are affected. The magnitude of this disaster forces the cancellation of our entire 2014 summer season.
Thank you to our Festival artists and staff for the wonderful work you have done preparing for this season. Thank you also to the many dedicated donors and sponsors that make our concerts possible. As our Festival regroups, we will keep you informed.
We look forward to seeing everyone next year.

Baffour's MVP dream faces competition
Emmanuel Baffour could not help New Edubiase to a top four finish in the Glo Premier League but he will certainly be looking at winning the season's player of year award.
The striker is in the running for the flagship prize, the Most Valuable Player gong when the end of season awards are handed out on Saturday at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Kumasi.
Baffour faces competition from Asante Kotoko's Daniel Nii Adjei and Emmanuel Clottey of Berekum Chelsea for the MVP prize.
But he will go unchallenged as his 21-goal haul which kept him tops of the goal chart after the 2011-12 season will see him pick the Goal King gong.
Though one goal shy of the 11-year record [22 goals] set by Ishmael Addo in the 2000/2001 season, Baffour, 23, will be celebrating an impressive season on the night.
There will be other contenders for this year's Glo Premier League awards which has 12 categories in all.
After guiding Asante Kotoko to the title, Maxwell Konadu appears in front of the queue for the Best Coach award which also has Bashir Hayford and Yaw Acheampong as competitors.
And in a season where referees performances have continuously been reviewed, the knights of the whistle are also in the running for prizes.

Thread: Opinions on Marina
July 10th, 2013 07:04 PM #6
I love the name Marina! One of my childhood best friends is named Marina, so I have a soft spot for it. Maren is another of my favorites. Willa Maren works a bit better as a combo if you're committed to first name Willa, since Willa and Marina both end in A. (Repeated ending sounds don't always bother me, but it does sound a little redundant in this instance. Not terrible, though, if you really prefer Marina to an alternative.)

Funeral services for Vernon Schultz, 95, Lewisville, MN, will be held on Monday, December 3, 2012, at 10:30 am at Zion Lutheran Church in Lewisville with Rev. Brian Thorson officiating. Interment with full military honors by the Lewisville American Legion Post 561 will be held in the church cemetery. Vernon died on Thursday, November 29, 2012, at Mayo Health Systems-Mankato. Visitation will be held on Sunday, December 2, 2012, from 2-4:00 pm at Zaharia Family Funeral & Cremation Service of Truman and one hour before the services in the church.
Vernon Ernest Arthur Schultz was born on March 8, 1917, to Ernest and Marie (Wiederhoeft) Schultz. He was baptized and confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church in Lewisville. In 1936, Vernon joined the Civilian Conservation Corps and proudly served until 1940. He worked primarily at Flandreau State Park in New Ulm. Many structured built by the CCC boys can still be seen at the park today. On February 22, 1941, Vernon was united in marriage to Loretta Maus in Whittier, CA. In 1943, he was drafted into the US Army. During his military service, Vernon was trained as an airplane mechanic and eventually was put in charge of training crew chiefs for the P51 fighter planes. Vernon was very proud of his contributions during the war effort and became a charter member of the Lewisville American Legion Post 561. Vernon was a member of Zion Lutheran Church in Lewisville. Later in life, Vernon found a new passion in golf at age 68.
Vernon is survived by two daughters, Sharon Gribble of Roseville and Janet Marko of Apple Valley; four grandsons, Phillip, Andrew and William Gribble and Jeffry Marko; seven great grandchildren and one sister, Marvel Gens of Madelia. He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife of 46 years, Loretta; one brother, Ewald Schultz; one sister, Valeria Hasselhop and long-time companion, Marilyn Hall.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are preferred to Zion Lutheran Church in Lewisville.

HAZARD, Ky. Whether you go to the Black Gold Festival for the games, rides, or just the atmosphere, one thing that's for sure is that you won't leave on an empty stomach.
Early Friday, crowds flocked to downtown Hazard, many on their lunch breaks.

Black Gold Days continue through Saturday.

Airds hotel and its pretty restaurant are rural, but on the social radar: Stella McCartney honeymooned here, and no doubt lapped up the venue's terrific views of the west Highlands during her sojourn. Current chef Jordan Annabi is Scottish born and bred, and takes full advantage of Appin's year-round harvest of prime local ingredients. A starter of plump hand-dredged scallops is given piquant accents with aubergine purée, cauliflower pakora and pickled cauliflower, while mains might bring salted West Coast cod with a savoury mussel gratin and smoky pea and ham fricassee or roast loin of new season's lamb – 'tender as an angel's kiss'. To finish, try wild strawberry mousseline or wait a wee while for caramel soufflé enriched by some mouth-puckering salted-peanut ice cream and aerated chocolate. The wine list oozes class, while service is gracious, exact and charming.

5 Tiny Animals That Deserve Their Own Horror Movie
#5. Surinam Toads Give Birth to Hundreds of Chestbursting Aliens at the Same Time
[That's the back of] a Surinam toad, a species of aquatic toad from South America that, quite frankly, looks fucking dead. Seriously, it looks it got flattened by an 18-wheeler at a rest stop, and somebody just scraped it off the pavement and threw it in a river. But it turns out there's a good reason it looks this way, and it has everything to do with makin' babies in the grossest way possible. During the Surinam toad's 12-hour sex session, the female will squirt a hot batch of eggs onto the male's stomach. After he fertilizes those eggs like only a man can, they're transferred over to the lucky lady, who gets to carry them around on her back for four months like the steroid-born acne of a professional weightlifter.

Recognized for breaking the rules, nearly untethering legibility from communication and inspiring a generation of young designers with his bold understanding of cultural style.
Typography spun into a whirling end-of-century gyre in the 1990s, and David Carson was at its center. The incendiary pages of Ray Gun magazine
inflamed the eyes and minds of countless young designers who sought to tap into the freedoms unlocked by his bold new style. Carson shaped everything in
his path for his own purposes, endlessly contorting type, layout and grid into new configurations and abandoning design's established truths of order and
legibility. He represented a new breed of visual author.
In 1980, Carson was a 26-year-old high school teacher in southern Oregon. He received a flyer in the mail—intended for high school seniors—for a summer
program in graphic design at the University of Arizona in Tucson and decided to attend. The workshop was run by Jackson Boelts, who became a mentor and
lifelong friend. A few years later Carson enrolled in a summer workshop in Rapperswil, Switzerland, where instructor Hans-Rudolf Lutz challenged him to
work experimentally and to find reasons for shaping form in particular ways.
By the early 1990s, digital tools were colliding with Modernism's exploded vocabulary. Designers could now make and manipulate form through direct action
in real time. QuarkXPress and PageMaker were Carson's primary medium of visual authorship, compelling him to work faster and to try
more things in a shorter time. The new tools enabled the iterations and accidents that are crucial to experimental work, but they were not magic pills for
instant talent. Carson explains, "It's the basic decisions—images, cropping and appropriate font and design choices—that make design work, not having the
ability to overlap or play with opacity."
In 1995, Carson published a monograph called The End of Print. The title came from a comment made by British designer Neville Brody during a joint
interview in London. Brody had said that Ray Gun represented "the end of print"; everything with type and design had been tried, so it was time to
move on to a different medium. Print was spent. At the time, Carson didn't fully agree with Brody's comment, feeling that another magazine would soon
ignite the collective passions of designers and readers. Looking back in 2014, Carson feels that those seething conversations about form and function in
the 1990s never did rekindle, especially not in the medium of magazines. He explains, "Graphic design seems a bit stagnant now, and a lot of people and
ideas have gone to other areas of expression."
Although Carson has produced everything from books and ad campaigns to videos, magazines were the crucible of his style. The big, cheap pages and
open-ended seriality of the magazine offered an ideal arena for experimentation over time. His first gig as an art director was for Transworld Skateboarding (1984–1987), followed by Transworld Snowboarding and the surfing magazine, Beach Culture. When
publisher Marvin Scott Jarrett launched Ray Gun in 1992, he invited Carson to be the founding art director—the magazine became more famous as a
platform for Carson's visual voice than for its music content.
From 1995 to 2003, Carson ran his own studio in New York City, working with diverse clients in the worlds of fashion, entertainment and beyond, including
Nike, Toyota, Quiksilver and MTV. Since then, he has served in a variety of positions, including creative director for the Bose Corporation. His legendary
disregard for readerly conventions has made him a hero to some and an agent of ugliness to others.
Carson forged graphic design into a cultural force and a medium with its own shape and direction. Although design swims in the stream of commerce, it lives
there, in Carson's work, as its own strange animal.
David Carson will be presented with the AIGA Medal at The AIGA Centennial Gala on April 25, 2014, in New York City.
The distinguished AIGA Medal is awarded to individuals in recognition of their exceptional achievements in the field of design.

When it comes to design, most companies have at some point found themselves at a crossroads, choosing between doing work in-house or hiring an agency. The more important design becomes to business, the more businesses are inclined to try their hand at developing in-house talent. This presents a challenge for agencies. As the work shifts, how do we shift accordingly? And what would the goals of such a shift entail?

Hey! Cafe is now roasting tiny batches.
At Hey! Cafe, we didn't invent the microroast trend. It's a tradition!
A long, long time ago; nearly everyone who drank coffee roasted it themselves in rather tiny drum roasters. This tradition is alive and well at Hey! Cafe. As far as we know, Hey! Cafe is the only place where you can taste this tiny batch home roasting tradition. ...Well, outside of your home, that is. But let's face it folks, we've all heard others touting a microroast. Let me tell you about what these people are calling 'microroast,' they're batches are 10 times bigger than ours!
By comparison, we're serving nano-roast!
Well, mostly because we're a small cafe. But, with tiny batches, we are able to control the roast more by cooling the beans more quickly, and achieve greater consistency! AND when you purchase a 0.5 lb bag at Hey! Cafe, you purchase the whole batch! That means the roast master watched YOUR single bag of coffee from start to finish. Micro-Roast, BABY!
Now THAT'S love!
now. . .
do you absolutely love coffee?
the hey!cafe features ceiling fans, coffee fans, friendly people, peculiar mugs, hexagonal tiles, outdoor seating, bathroom mural in progress, fair trade coffee, diverse selection of hot and iced teas, fantastic snacks, insanely good coffee, basketball court view, convenient and historic location, large study tables, detailed wifi, dancing, constant progress, proffessional website, cartoons and doodles, caffeine culture revivalism, great books and records, dancing, knowledgeable staff, great people like you, iced coffee, stone gargoyles, smells great, dog friendly, vegan friendly, you friendly.

I am voting for the $89 million referendum on April 9th because it puts teachers and students at Deerfield and Highland Park High School first. As a citizen in District 113, it is my responsibility to make sure that all of our high school students have an environment in which they can succeed. The projects funded by the referendum will ensure that students learn in classrooms which have relatively comfortable and constant temperatures throughout the day and are designed and wired for the 21st century. The referendum will also create adequate space for PE and athletics and will make our schools safe and accessible for children with special needs.
This is the BETTER plan called for by the critics of the 2011 referendum. The priorities addressed are the product of 18 months of work, involving over 100 community volunteers who spent thousands of hours working alongside professional architects and construction managers, examining our high schools infrastructure and identifying needs. The final plan was put together by 6 community members – Richard Becker, David Brint, Mary Cavanaugh, Walter Hainsfurther, Ed Jacobs and Matt Wylie – a group of individuals with decades of professional experience in architecture, finance and construction management. And, at just 67% of the referendum cost to homeowners in 2011, this plan truly creates facilities that foster educational excellence while respecting the District's taxpayers.
While the bulk of the money will be spent on infrastructure work at DHS and HPHS and on the 1914 buildings at HPHS (repurposing the B building and rebuilding the C and C annex), the plan calls for a new 8 lane pool with diving well and a new 3 court gym at each high school. The pool and gym projects are important. The pools are the most used part of both DHS and HPHS, busy from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. each day. Both of the current pools are over 50 years old, past their useful life, with safety, accessibility and structural issues. Refurbishing either 6 lane pool to last several more years doesn't make economic sense, nor does it provide the needed PE space or practice space for our swimmers. There is also a shortage of gym space for PE at both schools and these new gyms are much needed (particularly at HPHS, which will lose some existing space when the C building is rebuilt).
Importantly, we are not building gyms or pools because we want to glorify sports and athletic achievement – beyond the PE need, we do this because participation in athletics and extracurriculars directly leads to student success. From these activities, kids learn discipline, how to prioritize their time, how to set goals and achieve them, how to lead and how to work with others. Active students get better grades – that's a fact. And, being part of a smaller group within the high school raises self-esteem, helps kids to fit in and keeps them out of trouble.
Despite what some critics may say, there is nothing extravagant in this plan. For example, there are no field houses, no increased common areas for students, kids at HPHS will still sit on the floor in hallways eating lunch because there isn't enough cafeteria space. Rest assured, by passing this referendum, we are not "keeping up with the Joneses" - Lake Forest, Glenbrooks North and South, Stevenson and other schools will continue to have superior facilities. But, through this referendum, we are keeping our promises to our kids – now and for the next generation – to provide them with an environment where they can succeed.
In closing, ask yourself three questions - Will we be better off as a community in 5 years if this plan passes or fails? Will our community be more or less attractive for someone to move into? Will our students be better or worse off? I think the answers are CLEAR – Vote Yes on April 9th.
