A letter allegedly penned by Aaron Wilson Dishong, accused of killing 3-year-old Darrel "DJ" Etchison Jr. by setting fire to the boy's East End duplex, was just one of the pieces of evidence prosecutors said showed a man bent on killing his ex-girlfriend.
"Chose a black man over me," Dishong wrote, as read by Altoona Detective Sgt. Benjamin Jones at Dishong's preliminary hearing Wednesday at Central Court. "You will die by my hand."
The letter, Jones told Magisterial District Judge Jeffrey P. Auker, was found folded in the 62-year-old Dishong's wallet by police after his arrest Nov. 15, hours after the fire that claimed DJ's life and sent his mother and sister to a Pittsburgh hospital.

Aaron Dishong exits his preliminary hearing Wednesday at Central Court. Prosecutors said he set the deadly fire at an East End duplex because he mistakenly believed an ex-girlfriend was staying at the home.
Dishong set the deadly fire because he mistakenly believed an ex-girlfriend was staying at the Etchison home, prosecutors allege. In the letter, Dishong expressed his outrage that he thought the woman was now dating a black man.
Darrel Etchison Sr., 52, said that to him the racist overtones of the letter - because Dishong apparently thought his ex-paramour was involved with Etchison's brother - don't really matter to him.
His son is gone and it doesn't matter why, Etchison said outside the courtroom.
"The letter speaks for itself," said Blair County Deputy District Attorney Wade Kagarise after Auker's decision that prosecutors showed enough evidence to send all charges, including arson, homicide and attempted homicide, on to Blair County Court.
Dishong's defense team, court-appointed attorneys Thomas Dickey and Steven Passarello, tried to chip away at the prosecution's case. Dickey objected, mostly unsuccessfully, to testimony he claimed was simply words without evidence.
At most, prosecutors showed Dishong was involved in having someone else set the fire, but there was no direct evidence Dishong set the fire or that it was even a case of arson, Dickey argued.
Through witnesses who included police and fire investigators, grieving mother Brandy Etchison, 33, and Dishong's neighbor, prosecutors laid out their case that Dishong set the fire out of revenge and had talked about it.
The neighbor testified she drove him to Altoona from their East Freedom apartment building on both days leading up to the fire.
"He was saying things like, 'I'm going to take her out. I'm going to take her out,'" the neighbor testified. "I'm sorry, at 62 years old, I didn't take him seriously."
The neighbor, who only knew Dishong a week since he had just moved in, said she was shocked and hysterical after he told her he set fire to the home, and she learned it was true when she watched the 7 a.m. news.
The woman testified Dishong came to her house so early that morning, at 6:45 a.m., that she asked him to come back.
Earlier in the week, Dishong asked her to also drive him to a hearing at Blair County Court on a protection-from-abuse petition filed by his ex-girlfriend. At just after 7 a.m. Dishong returned, she said, and told her he set the fire.
Later on Nov. 15, as police recorded, the neighbor made a pair of calls to Dishong in an attempt to get him talking. The calls, played in court, revealed a coy Dishong, who never outright confessed but also never denied it.
At one point in the first call, he claimed someone else set the fire at his behest. In the second call, he made the claim again after the neighbor asked how he got into the house.
"I didn't," Dishong is heard saying. "I had someone else do it."
"Who?" asked the neighbor.
"KKK member," Dishong said, in reference to the Ku Klux Klan.
Dishong eventually cautioned the neighbor about talking about the fire on the phone.
"We shouldn't be talking about this on the phone because you can pick up cellphones on a scanner," Dishong is heard saying on the police recording.
Brandy Etchison, in a back brace and using a walker, took the stand to describe how her husband had left for work that morning at just after 6 a.m.
She said she awoke to the sound of smoke alarms and scrambled to find her two children, who usually slept with her in the the third-floor bedroom, as flames blocked the staircase. Finding the lights wouldn't work, she clamored in the dark, smoke-choked bedroom, until she felt 2-year-old Madison clutch onto her.
She called for her son but heard nothing, she said.
Her next memory was waking up six days later in a Pittsburgh hospital, with a broken vertebrae from the fall from the porch roof after escaping the fire. Her throat scorched and her lungs still weak after being flushed of soot, Brandy Etchison described how she had met Dishong a few times before the fire because he dated her friend, a woman she said had been staying at the house that week but left the night before the fire.
"I'm still not exactly sure how I got out," Brandy Etchison said.
Auker also heard testimony from investigators, including a state police fire marshal and the Blair County coroner, who concluded DJ died of smoke inhalation and alleged the fire was set by Dishong after he broke into the Etchison's half-duplex through the front door before setting fire to a couch using paper stuffed in a bag.
Jones testified a form with Dishong's name on it was found a week after the fire just a block from the Etchison's home.
Kagarise said it was still too early to discuss whether the Blair County District Attorney's Office would seek the death penalty.
Darrel Etchison Sr. said that although he had wanted Blair County District Attorney Richard Consiglio to go after the death penalty, after Consiglio explained it would likely mean another 20 years until Dishong would likely see the death chamber, he could live with knowing Dishong would spend the rest of his life behind bars if convicted.
"I want the district attorney to make sure this animal never gets out so he can do something to hurt another family," Darrel Etchison said before the hearing.
Dishong is due next in Blair County Court in January and remains in Blair County Prison without bail.

ALBANY – The death of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's much touted "women's equality agenda" was the result of a poor strategy that relied too much on outside women's rights organizations and not enough on a key group: the female members of the Assembly who actually had to do the voting.
That's the assessment of those female Assembly Democrats who on Monday were still bitter that they were asked Friday to approve what they called a watered-down package of measures to address everything from pay equity to sexual harassment to abortion.
While some groups and the governor late last week expressed surprise that the Assembly would end the session without passing nine of the 10 provisions – leaving out an abortion provision, to match the Senate's legislative move – female lawmakers said Monday they are equally surprised that any blame was being placed on the Assembly.
The dispute boiled over in a testy meeting Friday between 28 female Assembly Democrats and Cuomo, who they said tried to persuade them to go along with a new compromise package just a day after he had been saying he wanted all 10 bills, including the provision he said protects abortion, or nothing at all.
Besides saying the Assembly had already compromised by moving away from previous positions on everything from pay equity to housing discrimination against domestic violence victims, female Democratic lawmakers said the governor negotiated too much with women's groups and not with lawmakers.
"That was one of the things we said to him. As a matter of fact, I pretty much asked, 'Why all the advocates' meetings?' They have an opinion, and we don't mind working with them, but we wanted to talk to him," said Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes, a Buffalo Democrat. She said the female legislators made clear to the governor that the negotiations should have directly included them and not been limited to the many closed-door talks he held with private women's rights organizations over the months and weeks.
Last Tuesday, The Buffalo News reported that Cuomo administration officials were quietly floating a plan to women's groups that they embrace the idea of lawmakers passing nine of the 10 bills and letting go of an effort to codify the state's abortion laws in the event that the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court legalizing abortion is ever overturned.
The Cuomo administration said no such requests were made, and representatives from about 15 women's groups met privately with Cuomo that night. The representatives later said they were committed to the idea of all 10 provisions or none at all.
But by Friday, things changed. The Senate passed nine separate bills, without the abortion provision that the Assembly had approved a day earlier in a single, omnibus bill. That meant the Senate and Assembly versions did not match, and bills must match precisely to become law. Advocates, including Cuomo, then shifted from a 10-or-nothing lobbying strategy to a nine-is-needed position. They all assumed the Assembly would then just take up the nine separate bills.
But they were wrong. The Assembly ended its 2013 session without any final "same-as" bill with the Senate.
Friday, shortly after Assembly Democratic women held a news conference explaining their position, Cuomo asked the group to send six representatives to meet with him, sources said. But the lawmakers refused and said it had to be all 28 female Democratic lawmakers still at the Capitol or none at all. The administration also sought to have outside women's groups at the meeting, something the lawmakers also refused to go along with, according to a number of lawmakers.
"When we went to the meeting the effort was to get us to stay on Friday," Peoples-Stokes said of the governor's push to have the Assembly remain in town and pass the nine bills minus the abortion provision. That was how many insiders thought the whole matter would come down in the end: Pass nine, everyone would declare a political victory, and all could go home smiling. It was not to be.
"We were just not going to do that, and I'm still not because I think all 10 should be included," Peoples-Stokes said. "The bills were weakened, and you can't get the choice bill in what you are getting? You get fluff? We don't want fluff. These are women's lives. We don't deserve fluff."
"The feeling at the end of session is we took a principled stand, and we're going to stick with it. The fact that all the Democratic women agreed together was very empowering for us, and I kind of like that feeling," said Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal, a Manhattan Democrat.
Indeed, while some sought to blame Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Manhattan Democrat, for the Assembly leaving town without taking up the same bills as the Senate, it was more than apparent that Silver followed the lead of his Democratic female colleagues. He had little choice in a year in which he has been heavily criticized, with some outside groups calling for his ouster, for approving a secret sexual harassment settlement award in the case of Vito Lopez, the former Assembly Democrat from Brooklyn who was forced to resign.
Michael Whyland, a spokesman for Silver, said the focus is still on getting all 10 provisions passed. "The women of the Assembly's Democratic conference sent a powerful message on Friday, especially with reproductive rights under attack in Washington, and we will continue to work in consultation with the governor to get all 10 points passed," he said.
The Democratic women's concerns go deeper than abortion rights. They say the Assembly already negotiated a package with Cuomo to get to the omnibus 10-bill package that was weaker than what they had embraced for years. For instance, the Assembly supported legislation requiring that attorney fees be paid in all successful discrimination cases, such as age or religious discrimination, not just based on gender discrimination as in the 10-point bill.
The Assembly has also pushed for stronger pay equity laws for working women, and wanted it applied to both private and public sectors, not just private employers as in the 10-point bill.
Assembly Democrats also wanted, and gave up in the final women's-oriented bill, pay equity rules banning discrimination based on race or nationality.
Monday in Buffalo, Cuomo would not rule out calling a special session to bring the Assembly back to Albany to consider the nine bills already passed by the Senate. "Everything's possible," he said.
Cuomo said the nine bills the Senate passed would "really make a difference for women, and they have to become a reality, and I'm sure they will."
Senate co-leader Dean Skelos, a Long Island Republican, said Monday that Assembly Democrats should listen to their Democratic governor and return to the Capitol. "These nine measures will improve the lives of countless women throughout our state, and it's time for the speaker to swiftly join us in enacting each of them into law," he said.
But People-Stokes said she remains committed to pushing for all 10 provisions. "We came together a couple times, just with Democratic women, to try to reaffirm our unity on this issue, and every time it came up pretty solid, since the Senate did not act like we thought they should," she said. "I don't know if that solidarity is as tight as it was Friday, but from my perspective I'm still there."

I personally love that they gave Heavenly to Jessica Drake. One of my favorite pornstars since she started.
It was a chore! I was busy studying for finals! :P
So, I just placed my order for a Kevin Warhol Mini-Swallow and Mini-Squeeze plus a red case!
ILF, as a new year's resolution or something, can we PLEASE get a FJB Orgy page so we can have the option to not get another case!?
My Reviews
Hello guys and TPH (AKA ''The Legend''), its been a long time since the last time i comment in here, good to see everything its getting better and better. Anyway, i'm here to ask you for some help and some advices.
About 2 years ago i get my first FL, was a Lupe Fuentes Mini-Lotus, a month later a get a Destroya and a Forbidden, another month later i get the STU, everything was really sweet and i enjoy the flights, i used all my FL a lot and Destroya was my favorite followed by STU, Mini-Lotus and i really didn't enjoyed Forbidden that much. Things changed a lot and for personal reasons, about one year ago i stopped using them. About 1 week ago i re-started to live in the Fleshlight-World but i discover something horrible: Due to a really bad maintenance, the STU, Destroya and Mini-Lotus sleeves turned impossible to use and i had to throw 'em away, now i only have the Forbidden sleeve and i been flying with it and actually i'm enjoyed it more than before but i remember that flying with Destroya was miles better for me. So now i have a dilemma 'cause I'm planning to buy 2 sleeves, but due to my ubication and lifestyle, i have a very limited variety of sleeves to choose from:
Destroya, Nipple Alley, Lotus, SIAC Mini-Lotus, Blade and Flight.
I really love Stoya and her Destroya Sleeve, but should i get her again or take a risk and grab something different? Also i hear that Flight its like a mini-Destroya but i'm not so sure about the orifice /:
This is when you come in guys, i need suggestions, advices, recommendations. If you cant take only 2 sleeves what would you choose?
By the way my dick is 6.5 inches long.
Thanks for read this and i hope my english wasn't that bad (:
I am wondering if anyone has purchased the new Cougar texture and what they think about it. It looks interesting and if the majority likes it I would consider it one of my possibilities to purchase.
Of those you mentioned, I have Flight, Nipple Alley and Mini Lotus (Not the SIAC one, the full size Miela). Of those, Flight is by far my favorite. You get used to the orifice and it's actually really easy to clean/dry because of it. Mini Lotus is also great, though I would recommend the full size over SIAC, it seems like only guys smaller than 5.5" really love the SIAC. But you're right, getting both Destroya and Flight would be redundant.
I don't know if you're open to any other sleeves, but I also recently got Bibi's Beehive and Primal, both of which are absolutely amazing. I have 12 total, purchased over the past 12 months, and I'm really kicking myself for not getting Primal sooner, it's WAY better than several of my others. If you're considering Nipple Alley, I think it might be a bit less pleasing than the STU. Everyone raves about STU (which I don't have, I got Nipple instead), and Nipple doesn't impress me that much, except for Riley's perfect lips.
At the end of the day, I don't think you can go wrong with any on your list. I have to keep reminding myself that even my least favorite Fleshlight is way better than my hand!
Chibi-Robo: I apologize for not responding to your question sooner!! I would grab Nipple Alley if you enjoyed your STU and probably re-buy Destroya since you like her that much. However, Flesh4FantaC is right about FLight being very good. Despite it being a "Mini-Destroya" in design, it doesn't feel anything like Destroya but it has its own unique feeling. Plus, the case and suction you get from it is so much better than the full size models that it is just not funny! I've bought 4 or 5 FLights for friends and they all absolutely love them.
My Reviews
Hey there, I used to post here to get your advice but I haven't been around in more than a year. I've got an Aletta Ocean Primal (my favorite) and an STU (I had a Forbidden as well, but I didn't use it much and ended up throwing it out when I was short on room while moving), and I'm thinking about getting either the Marry Queen Mini-Lotus or the Bibi Jones Bi-Hive. Which of these two would be a better compliment to the two sleeves I have?
I'm ordering the VStroker as well, by the way.
cumfeelthenoise: Hey man! Do you really like bumpy feeling of STU? Cause Bi-Hive is what I would call a bumpy multi-texture. Mini-Lotus is nice and would be a real departure from what you have as it isn't really intense and is a smoother FLight.
My Reviews
Hey Legend, how are the reviews of Jenna going ?
DaHorse: I expect the brown truck to roll up to my place tomorrow! I didn't get Jenna though, I got the Kevin Warhol versions. I swear, I have ordered so many now that whenever I see a UPS truck, I just think, "I bet there is a FL in there somewhere and I wonder who is the lucky guy that is waiting impatiently on it!"
My Reviews
DaHorse: Haha, nah. I ordered them and chose to pay with a money order. However, I didn't want them to be delivered to my apartment building while I was at my parents' for the holidays. So, I sent the money order from a PO there so it would arrive after I got back here.
My Reviews
They arrived!! So, tonight I will be trying one of them out!
My Reviews
It was pretty much a toss-up between Bi-Hive and Mini-Lotus, so I made my decision based on the orifices - Bibi Jones' looks awesome. Plus I bought the SIAC Lotus a while back and wasn't a fan, it got moldy and I had to throw it out but I wasn't too sad to see it go. Can't wait for my order to come!
And just to make sure, my billing address is my parents' house but my shipping address is where I'm living - my parents aren't going to get any advertisements or anything shipped to them, right?
cumfeelthenoise: No problem! You will LOVE your Bi-Hive! Yeah, Bibi's mold looks fantastic and looks even better in real life! I have my parents listed as my billing address too and they have never received a single thing from ILF.
My Reviews
What happen'd to the, ULTRA-TIGHT? Discontinued?
Yes, the Ultra Tight was discontinued and I am trying to get them to bring it back, but for me in the Ice format. Write in the thread "Ask Fleshlight" and let them know you want it back.
If I understand it correct, the lotus is not so intense? I ask because, I have no experience about a real vagina or the lotus. I have earlier just tried the primal and swallow sleeves, and I think both of them are too intense, I coming too fast.
- Could the lotus be a good option for me then, if I want to have it more less intense?
- If I want to build up a stamina, could lotus also be an alternativ? I know about your the stamina fleshlight, but I want to know if the lotus have similar qualities.
Peter Grey: No, the Lotus is not intense at all. I wouldn't get it to build stamina, but if you want a less intense model Lotus is a nice silky ride. I think STU is even more intense than Swallow or Primal. Have you tried edging to train yourself?
My Reviews
im buying my first flesh light and dont know which to get???
im a virgin so kinda lookin for the real thing feeling if ya get me.
im lookin at the fleshlight girls and think ill get one of them but which is best and what pattern(ie lotas,wonderwave...).
what wouldyou reccomend?which is in ur opinion best ?
also which lube is best?
Wonder Wave Pink Lady is the closest to real sex. but still these are masturbators and not real girls. nothing can simulate the actual experience.
about lube, i like durex. they have several, some of which are not water based. always use a water based lube. in my experience, those from durex are really good. they last long, no need to re-apply if you're going for a long flight.
to be honest, the best advice i think i can give you is to not look for something that simulates real sex. it just doesn't exist. go for a toy that appeals to you the most.
btw, the faq on the site can answers a lot of questions. and just browse and see what appeals to you the most. i think you'll be happier with your purchase that way, if you leave out the need for it to feel real.
What he's trying to say is there is no "best", only what you like. I own 12 FL's and LOVE 11 of them. One I don't like much at all and wish I hadn't bought. But guess what, it's the same one that several other people here will tell you is their favorite! None of us has the same body or the same physical experiences, so like SOthisis said, go for what turns you on (and use the reviews of others for reference, but don't expect "the best" to be universal). Same basically goes for lube.
Before I bought mine I spent a LOT of time researching via ThePowerHouse's review site and Fleshking(net); they have the most comprehensive information out there. It seems like it's a common thread for virgins to inquire about the most realistic feeling one (and that's understandable), and the response is usually the same: nothing can really simulate the real thing, but one or two are kinda close (wonder wave, lotus/mini-lotus, vortex). I'm starting to have a different perspective: which ones feel way BETTER than the real thing?!
FWIW, my 2cents is Primal, BiHive, Flight, and Pure are currently my favorites (and it does change!), and I like ID Glide lube the best. I think Wet original and Fleshlight's water lube are fine too. But like I said, your experience may be totally the opposite. You are right, though, it's ALL better than your hand!
I highly suggest looking into Heavenly for realism, stimulation, and pleasure, will probably post my review on it soon
lesbians r gr8: I have to agree with SOthisis; forget about trying to find a texture that is realistic because you will be disappointed. If you are just considering FLG textures I would suggest Bi-Hive, Swallow, Nipple Alley, and Primal. They will all be excellent first textures as they are intense and very pleasurable.
My Reviews
I know this is un-forgiveably late, but I have posted my Mini-Forbidden review on my site. I have just been so busy lately that I haven't had the time to get my obligate 3 uses in no more than 3 days. I suppose it is fine since it was discontinued before I even received mine. I am hoping that I can get Mini-Swallow reviewed within the next week.
My Reviews
DaHorse: Yep!!
My Reviews
My Mini-Swallow review is now up! Be prepared though, I doubt you will expect what I have to say about it!
My Reviews
DaHorse: Yep, Mini-Swallow is a major disappointment. However, I have been considering moving Forbidden and Mini-Forbidden up on my preference list for some time now. They do a pretty decent job of reproducing the smoother feeling of anal sex and I do use them fairly frequently. What do you think? Have I been too hard on Forbidden?
My Reviews
Maybe there are some FLyers around who are different sized then you are and who are willing to share their reviews. That would give us a chance to check different experiences.
Til now, your reviews have been pretty usefull for pretty much everyone of us who has read them, but i hope, the last 2 reviews won´t scare people from buying Fleshlights.
DaHorse: Yeah, I guess you are right. It is certainly not my intention to scare anyone away, but to realize that just because something has been "Mini"-fied doesn't make it instantly better! :P
My Reviews
I wouldn't call the Mini-Forbidden a disappointment. I mean, it is better than the original but not by very much. Personally, I think ILF needs to release some new textures rather than trying to change old ones.
My Reviews
I too think your reviews are pretty right on. Although everyone is different and each persons senses vary, your reviews have the information needed for sound decision making. Looking at the textures and your reviews have steered me in the right direction with past purchases since I have been reading them.
Again I am getting ready to purchase 3 more textures and the ones I have been considering I am reading what you have to say about them to help make the right choice for me.
I am glad you have the resources and the drive to keep us informed as the information you provide is invaluable.
Thank you for all you contribute.
I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that I will be taking my server down for some hardware upgrades. It shouldn't be down more than a few hours. .
My Reviews
CumFLying: Thank you! I am so glad it has helped you!
My Reviews
For me its not a bad thing, I wasnt sure if i should pick mini forbidden or mini swallow and then I did pick the first one because I favor the anal "idea" of it. I really like it, its a different sensation than the two textures I had before; Ice and Speed Bump, but all of them have their unique qualities. For some reason, I'm not really sure if I last longer in the mini forbidden, I almost think its even the other way around.
Whatever, I wanted to say that I think there are lots and lots of people out there to whom your reviews were a great help. Even though I did not made my decisions dependant on your reviews, I used them to compare Textures that I was interested in quite a lot. And I will do it again. Your reviews also got me interested in the fleshjack textures although I'm not gay at all.. a few of them are really interesting and look amazing... But I'm not sure yet if I'm willing to buy them since I really like the idea of the fleshlights being molded from an actual pussy or even better a womans ass. Its really sad that you can buy the signature textures only with the pussy mold, since I find the butt orifices better (because of their tighter feel) and even a bit sexier I think.
Anyways, Great Job and thank you
zam: One reason you might not be able to last as long as you had expected in Mini-Forbidden is its smooth and tight design means that basically every bit of the surface area of your cock that is inside the texture is being squeezed and caressed. You don't have to be gay to enjoy the FleshJack textures. It's a toy; not a guy. You really shouldn't let that fact that they are molded on a guy keep you from enjoying their awesome textures! I agree that it would be cool to be able to get the Girls' signature textures with their butt mold too. Glad my reviews and stuff have helped you too!
My Reviews
I know, I know... but at the moment, the girls just turn me on more.. ^^
zam: I can understand that. Still, grab on of the FJs and turn on some nice straight anal porn and off you go!

When you look at the image provided on the website it appears that the Nipple Alley-like bumps end and are followed by a really tight canal to the end. In fact, this is not the case at all! If you look at it head-on it is actually a wide, smooth, triangular design! The image is simply showing you the vertex of the triangle, thus making it appear like a tight canal.

Habemus FLights ! :P

Free tax prep program seeks volunteers
The AARP Tax-Aide program in Berkeley County is seeking volunteers to train as tax counselors to assist at its Goose Creek site.
This program provides free personal income tax counseling and electronically filed tax return preparation to low and middle income tax payers, with special attention to those age 60 and older. Last tax season we assisted hundreds, and with other counties, thousands of our neighbors.
Volunteers of all backgrounds and ages are welcome, and you do not need to be an AARP member to volunteer nor do you need to be a retiree. Familiarity with the IRS tax forms is helpful but the availability of a laptop computer is a must.
There is an IRS qualified training program where tax counselors receive extensive free tax training and become IRS certified by passing an IRS test. There will also be additional training in computer tax preparation. Training materials will be available after Thanksgiving 2013.
Counselors will help customers one-on-one at tax sites and are expected to be available for at least four hours per week during the Feb. 1 – April 15, 2014 tax season. It's a great way to learn new skills, assist in helping others, and become more involved in your community.
Register with AARP at login.aarp.org/online-community/loginform.action before Sept. 15 to get training materials and join our Tax-Aide Team, or call Pat Merriam at (843) 270-7881.

Some Stockton residents said Tuesday they were victimized twice when they had their gold chains stolen.
Suzanne Adam told KCRA 3 that her parents' home was burglarized, with all the gold jewelry taken.
Adam later found the jewelry at a shop, she said.
"My mother's wedding ring and my grandfather's ring are in there, but we were told we would have to buy them back," the Stockton resident said.
The stores are protected, Adam said, which leaves victims trapped in a frustrating situation.
Some shop owners say they do all they can to make sure they aren't buying stolen jewelry.
"It's a loss for us too if police seize the items we paid for," one owner told KCRA 3. "We do our best to make sure these are legitimate transactions."

If you are in the market for a used car, a new survey says you are living in the right place.
CarGurus, a Massachusetts-based car shopping website, ranked Buffalo the seventh-most-affordable city in which to buy a used car. Miami was listed as the cheapest, and our neighbor to the east, Rochester, was ranked No. 3.
CarGurus compiled its list by comparing the prices of used cars for sale in different metro markets with nationwide prices. Buffalo was 4.4 percent cheaper than the national market average, and Rochester was 5.4 percent less than the national market average.
CarGurus said it evaluated more than 3 million used cars listed for sale in the largest metro areas in the contiguous United States to compare prices from one market to another. Used cars from model years prior to 2000 were excluded.
Prices can vary substantially from one area to the next, so it can pay to search for used cars farther from where you live, said Langley Steinert, founder and chief executive officer of CarGurus.
The most-expensive used-car market, according to the survey, was Jackson, Miss., which was 9 percent higher than the national market average. Steinert said that more densely populated areas tended to have lower prices. "More dealerships have more competition, which drives prices down."
Buffalo's status as an inexpensive place to buy a used car makes sense to Tony Daily, general manager of Towne Automotive Group. He believes a few factors contribute to the ranking.
For starters, many items here sell for less than in some larger metro areas, he said, and there is "a lot of car turnover in Buffalo." Some of that trend, he said, is due to the large number of people who have a family connection to one of the region's automotive manufacturing plants who take advantage of a discount.
Another factor is the popularity of leasing: It is common to find cars with a single owner coming off lease after three years, he said. "They're very easy to sell, and they're very affordable."
And in a region known for its harsh winters, many customers want to trade in to get something new to ensure they will have a reliable vehicle for those conditions, he said.
Based on the price variations the CarGurus report found, shoppers might want to look beyond their "home turf" to buy a used car, Steinert said. Even if that means driving two or three hours to make a purchase, he argues it can be worthwhile if you end up saving $2,000 or $3,000 on the car.
If you do decide to travel that far, he offers three tips: Call ahead to make sure the dealer still has the advertised car available, run a Carfax report on the vehicle and arrange to pay for a mechanic in that city to check out the vehicle before you make the trip.
While new cars tend to grab the glory in the auto industry, used cars are big business, including for new-car dealers. For example, Duane Paddock opened a dealership for used cars just down the street from his Paddock Chevrolet location in Kenmore. The Basil family group of dealers has invested heavily in used-car dealerships in the region, including a location it opened at the former site of Tunmore Oldsmobile in North Buffalo.
West Herr Automotive Group – one of the largest dealer groups in the nation – sold a combined 34,431 new and used vehicles last year, 43 percent of which were used.
Scott Bieler, West Herr's president, said the dealer group has more than 1,000 used vehicles in its inventory, 48 percent of which are cars and 34 percent of which are SUVs. Pickup trucks accounted for 11 percent; vans, 7 percent.
West Herr has recorded a 34 percent increase in growth of its used-vehicle sales since 2009, Bieler said. He believes more customers are buying used cars from franchised new-car dealers because of more-extensive reconditioning of the vehicles, a wider choice of brands, models and prices, the detailed history of the vehicles available and West Herr's own program for used vehicles.
The National Automobile Dealers Association reported that in 2011, used-car sales contributed one-quarter of franchised new-car dealers' operating profit. Used cars' average retail selling price in 2011 was $17,267, compared with $30,659 for new retail cars sold, but dealerships' net profit on used cars was significantly higher, according to NADA.
TrueCar.com estimated 3.4 million used cars were sold in the United States in February, up from 3.25 million the year before. (Its data includes sales from franchised dealerships, independent dealerships and private-party sales.) It estimated used-car sales would outpace new car sales at a 3-to-1 rate during the month, at a time when new-car sales are picking up steam.
Joe Spina, senior analyst with Edmunds.com, said the U.S. used-car market is "going strong," although for consumers that means paying a higher price for those vehicles.
Spina said used-car prices have come down a bit from their peak in 2011. A few factors have limited their supply, which naturally influences prices. A dropoff in leasing a few years ago took more cars out of the mix, he said. Consumers have been holding on to their cars longer and maintaining them, instead of trading them in. And rental car companies – a key source of used cars put up for sale – are keeping vehicles in their fleets longer.
Daily said it is common to see a customer consider buying either a new or used car, instead of focusing exclusively on one of those categories. "It used to be a used-car buyer was a used-car buyer, but that's not really the case anymore," he said. Nowadays, he said, the amount of the payment is what often guides their decision.
And some customers who are focused on a specific vehicle – such as an SUV to carry a family – might be drawn to a new one selling for $45,000 but will opt for the same vehicle that is two or three years old and selling for about $32,000, he said.

This '70 Super Bee Is Unrestored, Perfect, And Purple.
Soul Survivor
As the cars in this issue can attest, every now and again we Mopar guys get a glimpse at the way things used to be. Truth be told, many of today's restorations are technically over-restored. Like most mass-production items, cars had variances, and the era of the supercar isn't always noted for its quality control. So the rare gems that somehow survived the following decades unmolested by…well, by people like us, give everyone a chance at seeing a time capsule of the day.
Indianapolis residents Steve and Karen Minor are the caretakers of one of these mobile history lessons. Their '70 Super Bee is pretty much the way it was the day it rolled off the Highland Park assembly line, right down to the spark plugs and wires. Still in its 19,000-original mile, Plum Crazy livery, the twin-bumpered 'Bee came to the Minors by way of three other owners (hard to believe that a survivor car can make it through four owners). The first owner was an 18-year-old girl who purchased the car new from Pyramid Motors in Poland, Ohio. She enjoyed the car for a couple of years and then she got married. This is when the second owner comes into play: her father. When she purchased the car, her father cosigned the loan for her. After the newlyweds got settled, dad wanted the happy couple to transfer the loan into their name, but when the young pair decided they didn't want to carry the paper, the "old man" claimed the car and became the second owner. So, from time to time he took the car for rides around town, but was uncomfortable with the attention a bright purple Super Bee brought him. By 1984 the car had 16,900 miles on it and came up for sale. Steve had his first run-in with the car at that time.
"At the time, buying it was out of the question, so I talked my friend into buying it. A little less than a year later, he informed me that the size of his family was increasing and he needed to sell the Bee. Needless to say, I bought it this time. This was in May 1985, when the car still sported only 17,000 miles, and we are the fourth owners of the car."
The Bee's exterior sports the factory High Impact FC7 Plum Crazy Purple paint. The longitudinal tape stripe and even the vinyl top are factory installed. The interior of the Minors' major prize is also stock, right down to the black vinyl bucket seats, the Solid State AM radio with rear speaker, as well as the floor console and both the headliner and carpeting. When this car was built, "horsepower" was the operative word and a 383 with a single Holley carburetor gives the Bee its sting. Once again, factory originality is present on the engine, including the belts, hoses, plugs, and wires. Even the battery is the same one that the factory installed. The 31-year-old TorqueFlite still sends the power to the 3.23 geared 8 3/4-inch rear, the average 383 combo of the day. To make sure the Bee held the road, the factory installed 14-inch Rallye wheels with Goodyear PolyGlas tires on all four corners, and those original factory-installed tires still serve their purpose.
Looking closely at places in the paint, some minor runs in that factory pigment are evident, and the car has aged somewhat in the ensuing 30 years. It was on display at the Exit 78 Antique Mall outside of Indy for some time, which is where we shot the photos. Regardless of that, this car remains a history lesson to future generations who may want to know, "Say, what was a Plum Crazy Super Bee?"

One of the Lowcountry's more visible environmental advocacy groups says the City of Charleston needs to ban all devices used by drivers behind the wheel.
State Rep. Wendell Gilliard, D-Charleston, is holding a meeting Thursday at North Charleston City Hall, 2500 City Hall Lane, to build support for his bill that would ban texting behind the wheel statewide.
The meeting begins at 11 a.m. on the third floor in the Buist Conference Room.
A representative of the Coastal Conservation League said Monday that Charleston's proposed text-only ban doesn't go far enough to ensure road safety for all, and that the better step would be to make the city "hands-free" on mobile devices.
"All the local governments are looking to you," CCL project manager Katie Zimmerman told members of City Council's Traffic and Transportation Committee. "They are watching and waiting to see what the city of Charleston does."
The ban should extend to include cyclists and skateboarders, Zimmerman said, to ensure there's maximum safety for people in other cars, those who might be walking near roads or who are participating in an activity around traffic.
Mayor Joe Riley, though, said he is sticking with his support to prohibit text-only, citing both Mount Pleasant's texting ban and the long moments of diversion that texting requires when a driver's eyes leave the road.
"Uniformity in a region is better," he said, adding that the act of texting is much different than talking while driving.
The comments came during a public hearing to gauge how the public feels. City Council, however, won't take up the debate again until Sept. 24 after opting to postpone the discussion from the Tuesday night meeting agenda.
As proposed, Charleston's ban would prohibit drivers from using hand-held devices behind the wheel for any form of texting, the reading of texts, e-mailing or typing. Simply talking on a cellphone while driving is not being targeted.
The fine for violators is set at $100, plus court costs. Enforcement would be done by city police officers who observe the practice.
The ban would cover any person in charge of a motor vehicle in motion on a public street or highway within the city limits. Exceptions include the operator of a motor vehicle that is lawfully parked or stopped, or a law enforcement officer, a member of a fire department or the operator of a public or private ambulance who is in the course of performing their official work duties.
For violators, no driver's license penalty points would be assessed. Subpoenas for records from a phone company or time carrier could be pursued.
Several of those who spoke at the meeting said they had been victims of texting drivers. Stacie Katsibas of James Island said her mother was killed by a texting driver between Orangeburg and Columbia in 2010. The pain hasn't gone away.
"It scares me for my family," she said. "It scares me for other drivers." She added, "I don't want to be a victim of it again."
Some said they had first-hand experiences. "He never looked up," Jim Davis, of James Island, said of the texting man who struck him from behind. He also had no license or insurance at the time of the wreck. "He hit us at about 45 mph."
The accident cost Davis thousands in repair costs and medical bills, while the driver got away with a fine in the hundreds of dollars range, he said.
Davis said he'd liked to see texting banned everywhere in the U.S. "but we'll start with Charleston."
Others, though, called for the city to not add more laws to the books and, instead, increase vigilance in enforcing the laws the city has now, including against distracted driving.

High Wire Distilling
Scott Blackwell, founder of Immaculate Baking Company, one of the country's most successful organic baking companies, recently sold the business and decided to follow his deep passion for beverages and brewing. He and his wife, Ann Marshall, have been avid home brewers for years and always thought about doing it full time. After falling in love with Charleston, these South Carolina natives discovered there was already a lot happening with beer but not as much with spirits. Understanding the similarities between the two and knowing they could combine their love for quality food products, flavors and high quality liquor, they decided to open one of the first artisanal craft distilleries in the city.
High Wire Distilling will produce a distinctive line of small batch spirits including gins, rums, whiskeys and vodkas using a German-made copper still. Blackwell, who is a Culinary Institute of America graduate and a former baker, will apply his knowledge of artisanal ingredient selection and culinary techniques to the beverages he creates. A main focus will be on local, unique flavors and products. The distillery will also feature a chef's apothecary area where new flavors and experimental products can be tested.
The location for High Wire Distilling is an old, rustic 8,000 square foot warehouse located next to Butcher & Bee. Dan Sweeney of Stumphouse Architecture & Design is the architect and has helped design new features including a 25-person tasting room with large metal steel-framed windows which provide a viewing point to the still and bottling operations.
High Wire Distilling will offer tours and tastings Wednesday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The space is also available for intimate, private events that need a unique setting for approximately 100-150 people. Parking will be available onsite.

The Museum's superb military collections document the history of the men and women of the armed forces of the United States. The collections include ordnance, firearms, and swords; uniforms and insignia; national and military flags and banners; and many other objects.
The strength of the collections lies in their enormous depth. Some 3,000 military small arms and 2,400 civilian firearms document the mechanical and technological history of the infantryman's weapons from the beginning of the gunpowder era to the present. Among the 4,000 swords and knives in the collection are many spectacular presentation pieces. The collections also include Civil War era telegraph equipment, home front artifacts from both world wars, early computers such as ENIAC, Whirlwind, and Sage, and materials carried at antiwar demonstrations.

Another birthday party was scheduled for tonight- complete with baking the fancy carrot cake again, but my body had other plans. I just wanted to crawl back into bed or on the couch or under the Thomas train table and curl up off to nap- forever.
Fighting a cold and some chills and aches, and a heavy blanket of fatigue, I wondered how would I make it to the store for the cake ingredients, then bake it (and then chocolate cupcakes for the kids as well) and then really enjoy our company once they were here?
And as I dozed on and off between Hotwheels being driven over me and banging and crashing in the other room, I played a game with myself- if I get ten minutes of sleep it will be worth whatever has been broken in the other room. If they draw over all the walls with crayon
again, that's worth a little sleep, too. Right now I don't care.
So, I thought, I don't have to do it all. We can reschedule (even though this was a rescheduled night already as last week the kids were the ones battling a cold and cough.) Thankfully, I have very understanding family. They'll come tomorrow. And I'll be more pleasant. With fancy cake.
I am still waking up from the big nap I took instead of marathon baking in the kitchen. But, I had one of those vividly crazy dreams where I was cooking anyway- but it was something with cheese and I kept wiping up the counter- mad that it wouldn't stay clean, and then Ashlee was there and we were dressing up Cara's dog and taking pictures of it (Cara, do you even have a dog?!), while laughing hysterically, baking, (and wiping up cheese.) I woke up feeling like I need another nap after that nap. Hubby will be home in less than an hour. I think I can make it.

The funny thing is, you think people actually care about your predictions, as if they somehow legitimize you. Whatever helps ya sleep at night, bud.
why would you change your username from a retired skater to one that was obviously on the way out as well? Sure P/T continued but aren't they retired now? Time to change again! LOL!!
I am truly sorry Evan is injured. That being said I am not sure why so many of are not surprsied. I mean no one wants to get hurt. And it might be "expected" because he is coming back not only from other injuries but lack of competition and unlike Y una he was or has not been skating at that competitive level as long or as much as her. Not to mention, Evan's win in 2010 while perhaps granted (though arguments can be made Plushy culd have won and when it is barely ap oint difference that is made out by the scores) was not exactly unanimous with Takahashi, Chan, Fernandez, Hanyu, Oda or the third Japanese man not o mention Amodio, Joubert, the Czech boys, Plushy, Max Aaron and Reynold there is no guarantee he'll even make top ten and that assumes he makes the American team. THis is a bit mean but how I feel. Evan I am sure you are a nice person and congrats on 2010 OGM but you had your chance, you really got lucky and you know so don't push it. Stop trying to steal the limelight. Let it go = you probably got more than you deserved already. Go off with Johnny Weir into the sunset
we all have our favourites. I wonder if Pang and tong might have won Vancouver OGM - some say they should have won but iroically they are like the team that beat them - really wanted ogm and came back just for gold. I do think V and T or S squared are the the teams to beat. You kind of have to cheer for Kavaguti and Smirnov who sort of have fallen off the radar. pang and Tong have an olympic medal already I would ilke to see someone else like the Canadians or K and S get an OBM.
I predict they'll essentially mirror what Lambiel was Vancouver... former World champion, on the decline, essentially having to compete so that their federation gets a good result, and probably skates decently for a respectable placement but not strong enough to make the podium.
Oh yeah, I forgot the federation. I really wish P and T would be able to retire and skate in shows. The injuries seem to have caught up to them and my ìllogical side says it is time to let someone else have the Olympic glory but I do understand the drive for OGM or even a medal.
And the relationship that the Chinese pairs have to Evan ... is ...?
Very substantive Associated Press story (Oct 12) with fascinating quotes from Lysacek about why he still wants to compete and about how he mentally has been "letting go" of his Vancouver gold:
Time is currently Lysacek's biggest competition

Two people died in north Volusia County early Saturday when their car crashed into the back of a semi on Interstate 95.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the crash happened about 1:15 a.m. near Ormond Beach, when a semi driver noticed a vehicle coming up on him "in an aggressive manner."
The semi driver said he tried to get out of the way and stop on the right shoulder, but the Pontiac hit the rear of the semi-trailer, killing the two people in the car.
The names of the two are not being released until relatives are notified. Investigators said the pair was from North Carolina.
The semi driver was identified as 58-year-old Jose Guzman of Orlando. He was not injured.
The FHP said the crash is still under investigation.

Wednesday, August 28, 2013
Charleston resident and U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliarist, William Carter, is joining the Recreational Boating Safety Outreach Department as editor of WAVES, the auxiliary's nationally published Watercraft and Vessel Safety newsletter.
The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary's Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) Outreach Directorate is dedicated to promoting safe boating on U.S. waterways by improving the knowledge, skills and abilities of recreational boaters, according to its mission statement.
As WAVES editor, Carter will solicit and collect RBS articles, stories and photographs as well as proof-read, edit, assemble and design the publication. The primary focus for WAVES are the stories that demonstrate and reaffirm the auxiliary missions of providing boating safety through the marine dealer and partner visitation program, free recreational vessel safety checks, public education courses, boating safety programs and other partnerships.
Carter comes well suited for the editor position; he also serves as Flotilla Staff Officer-Publications and Flotilla Staff Officer-Communication Services at Flotilla 12-8 Charleston and Staff Officer-Publications for Division 12 in South Carolina which includes eight flotilla units. In just over two years as a member of the auxiliary, Carter has initiated a number of internet based enhancements for content, storage and access of auxiliary publications at both the flotilla and division levels. WAVES is distributed to auxiliary members, Coast Guard and other boating partners via emails and is shared online at http://bdept.cgaux.org/wp/.
Carter attended the University of South Carolina and Charleston Southern University with a major in economics, graduating in 2001 with a Bachelor's Degree. He also studied geography, computer science, history, sociology and business administration. Besides working full-time for a local Charleston business, Carter's interests include surfing, reading, jazz and classical music, gardening, photography and travel. Already a qualified Vessel Examiner (VE) and Recreational Boating Safety Program Dealer/Partner Visitors (PV), Carter is also working on becoming a qualified Boat Crew member.

Office of Cooperative Research
Elizabeth Jonas received training in Neurology and Internal Medicine. She developed an interest in Neuroscience while studying as a medical student with Dr. Rodolfo Llinas at N.Y.U. and at the Marine Biological Laboratory. With Dr. Llinas she developed an interest in calcium control of synaptic transmission. She pursued this interest as a post-doctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Leonard Kaczmarek, Yale Pharmacology. She studied an intracellular calcium store necessary for secretion of reproductive hormones in the bag cell neurons of Aplysia californica. While studying these questions, Dr. Jonas developed a technique for recording from ion channels on intracellular membranes and has used this and other techniques to study mitochondria. Mitochondria are necessary for life and death of neurons and other cells. Regulation of mitochondrial metabolism is also key to energy efficiency in the nervous system. Dr. Jonas is now studying the role of mitochondria and energy efficiency in neurodegenerative disease states and in learning and memory formation in healthy brain.

All I'm saying is that the last thing to make me support a skater would be what country they come from. I don't care where they come from. So please don't say that would be the only reason. I'm American yet liked the Canadians better. So what ?.
I don't think D/W's win got anywhere near the same public outcry compared to the one in the ladies result.
Last edited by Mrs. P; 03-24-2014 at 01:53 PM.
We all have our favourites for different reasons.
D/W did not get to me emotionally like V/M but I still enjoy watching them & will continue to do so when looking back on their programs.
I can honestly say there is not a skater/skaters that I could not find something about them to admire/respect/love.
When an Olympic cycle is over & many retire I truly feel like I am losing close friends.
I always try to look at the skater/skaters positive points as it helps me to enjoy them more. The last thing I think about is the country they come from.
Also, over the years I have come to care less about the marks & more about the skating ON the ice rather than the judging OFF it.
Maybe I'm getting old.....................
Years from now I still feel that the programs that people will watch are those from B/S, W/P and I/K. These performances were stand outs for me.
If we are honest both of these programs were ho-hum retreads of their previous programs. Especially for V/M. I still don't understand why V/M were so afraid to try something different. They have really outgrown Marina's work ages ago. Who got gold or silver will not be important in the end. It will be the performances, jmho.

Constantly looking at your phone while out with friends and/or at a public event, e.g. concert, sporting event, wedding, etc.
The concert was great, but instead of taking time to enjoy the show he had his smart phone out and he was crassing the entire time.

Can you define these popular missing words?
To be on your phone during a party, conversation, sports event, or other place where it is inappropriate or antisocial.
"Yeah, we all went out to dinner for my birthday but everyone was just crassing."

text: I know. It just grew. It scales better than GED files or traditional ancestor charts ( because of my wierd base-32 grow-on-the-right numbers ). I still want it to display like that, but be stored in a saner form. Each person's father has a number exactly twice their own, and their mother is one more than that. With my numbers, people that are closely related ( by ancestry or by association to produce person #1 ), look like they are related. All the ancestors of person f ( 101111 ) my daughter's father's mother's mother's mother's mother ) will have a number beginning with F; Her GGG grandfather FMMFF or 01100 will be fc. When you get up into many generations, regular numbers ( 32 generations -- 4 billion or so ) become unworkable,not because of the sheer size but because related don't look related at a glance. The other wierdness is the '((' lines. When the same information appears more than once, the two copies will differ.
