April 15, 1796.
A letter by yesterday's post from our friend Ames,1 informed me that the majority (fifty-seven concuring) had resolved in a private meeting to refuse appropriation for the treaty. A most important crisis ensues. Great evils may result, unless good men play their card well and with promptitude and decision. For we must seize and carry along with us the public opinion, and loss of time may be loss of every thing.
To me our true plan appears to be the following (I pre-suppose that a certain communication has been made):
1st. The President ought, immediately after the House has taken the ground of refusal, to send them a solemn protest. This protest ought to contain reasons in detail against the claim of the House in point of constitutional right, and ought to suggest summarily, but with solemnity and energy, the danger to the interest and peace of the country from the measures of the House, the certainty of a deep wound to our character with foreign nations, and essential destruction of their confidence in the government, concluding with an intimation that in such a state of things he must experience extreme embarrassment in proceeding in any pending or future negotiations which the affairs of the United States may require, inasmuch as he cannot look for due confidence from others, nor give them the requisite expectation that stipulations will be fulfilled on our part.
A copy of this protest to be sent to the Senate for their information. The Senate, by resolutions to express strongly their approbation of his principles, to assure him of their firm support, and to advise him to proceed in the execution of the treaty on his part in the confidence that he will derive from the virtue and good sense of the people, constitutionally exerted, eventual and effectual support, and may still be the instrument of preserving the Constitution, the peace, and the honor of the nation.
Then the merchants to meet in the city, and second by their resolutions the measures of the President and Senate, further addressing their fellow-citizens to co-operate with them. Petitions afterwards to be handed throughout the United States.
The Senate to hold fast, and consent to no adjournment till the expiration of the term of service of the present House, unless provision made.
The President to cause a confidential communication to be made to the British minister, stating candidly what has happened, his regrets, his adherence nevertheless to the treaty, his resolution to persist in the execution, as far as depends on the Executive, and his hope that the faith of the country will be eventually preserved.
I prefer that measures should begin with a protest of the President, as it will be in itself proper, and there will be more chance of success if the contest appears to be with him and the Senate auxiliaries than in the reverse.
But in all this business, celerity, decision, and an imposing attitude are indispensable. The glory of the President, the safety of the Constitution—the greatest interests—depend upon it. Nothing will be wanting here. I do not write to the President on the subject.
An idea has come from Cooper of an intention in our friends in the House of Representatives to resist the execution of the other treaties—the Spanish and Algerine—unless coupled with the British. But this will be altogether wrong and impolitic. The misconduct of the other party cannot justify in us an imitation of their principles. 'T is best, I think, that the first course should be given to the other treaties. Or at most, if a feint of opposition is deemed advisable, it ought to be left to the Senate by postponement, etc. But even this is very delicate and very questionable.
Let us be right, because to do right is intrinsically proper, and I verily believe it is the best means of securing final success. Let our adversaries have the whole glory of sacrificing the interests of the nation.
P. S.—If the treaty is not executed, the President will be called upon, by regard to his character and the public good, to keep his post till another House of Representatives has pronounced.
[1]Fisher Ames, of Massachusetts.

Posted by Cynthia on 7th Mar 2014
I like the fact that it has an editor built into it, but the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the editor doesn't work as well as Adobe Photoshop. SewArt takes either too much or too little off when I'm using the eraser feature and can be frustrating. I use it mostly to run my scanned images through and make them more workable for Photoshop. Once I finish editing in Photoshop, I run it back through SewArt to create my file for my embroidery machine. Sometimes I have to digitize an image more than once, as some parts of it don't show up when I sew it out. I'm still trying to overcome that issue. The software doesn't have the ability that I know of to change the order of the stitching. I prefer to program my outlining for last.

have stumbled across your software by accident and wow it is great
Posted by Linda on 28th Dec 2013
I've tried several digitizing software but this is the best. It's easy to learn and to use.
Posted by http://renagadehearts.storenvy.com/ on 9th Apr 2013
worth the money. very cheap compared to some other programs and very very easy compared to others I have tried. the demo is very good and doesnt seem to hold anything from you to try for the 30 day trial so you can really test it all! I have singer futura xl 400 and the software is easier than the autherized singer software. I returned the singer software becasue it was a pain and twice as expensive. if you have photoshop it helps, its not required but makes it easier to clean up pictures before using sewart64. will convert to so many readable formats for machines (borther, singer, janome, etc.)I see no negatives. I have owned it for a few months now and I use it for my machines every 3 days if not then everyday. it is a pleasure!

Purchased this program because a customer asked me to stitch a logo that was in vector. Have only had the program for a week but it has been very easy to understand (so far) on my own. There is a tutorial on web that is very helpful. So far I really like this and feel I will use it quite a bit.

Source: Fall in Love With Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Take quintessential Fall pumpkin, and pair it with chocolate chip cookies, and there's no doubt it's a winning dessert recipe.
Using an ice cream scooper ensures each cookie is the perfect, pillowy shape and size. Leave sufficient space between each cookie dough ball, because the dough will spread when baking.
These cookies have plenty of warming spices like cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger, which will waft throughout the kitchen even hours after baking.
Muffin-like and semisweet, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies double as dessert and an excellent breakfast the next morning.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Flesh-Eating Disease Victim Likely to Lose Hands and Remaining Foot
The 24-year-old Georgia woman who developed flesh-eating disease after a zip line injury will likely lose her hands and remaining foot, her family says.
Aimee Copeland suffered a gash in her left calf after falling from a zip line on May 1. She developed necrotizing fasciitis and her left leg was amputated at the hip three days after her accident, ABC News reported.
Despite the latest bad news, Copeland has shown signs of recovery and her family has remained optimistic.
"Aimee appears to have normal brain function at this time, which is something I'm celebrating because within Aimee we have a very compassionate heart and an incredible mind of intellect," her father Andy Copeland told ABC News.
The infection was caused by a common bacteria called Aeromonas hydrophila, which thrives in warm climates and fresh water.
Turtle-Linked Salmonella Has Sickened 124 People in 27 States: CDC
To date, 124 people in 27 states have been reported ill in salmonella outbreaks linked to small pet turtles, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in an update issued Friday.
Here are the number of ill people in each state: Alaska (2), Alabama (1), Arizona (3), California (21), Colorado (5), Delaware (3), Georgia (3), Illinois (1), Indiana (1), Kentucky (1), Massachusetts (3), Maryland (6), Michigan (2), Minnesota (1), Nevada (4), New Jersey (7), New Mexico (3), New York (24), North Carolina (1), Ohio (2), Oregon (1), Pennsylvania (9), South Carolina (3), Texas (12), Virginia (3), Vermont (1), and West Virginia (1).
There have been no deaths, but 19 people have been hospitalized. Children age 10 or younger account for 67 percent of the reported cases of illness, the CDC said.
Since the previous update on April 5, two new multistate salmonella outbreaks linked to small pet turtles have been identified, bring to five the total number of multistate outbreaks.
Investigators have determined that the outbreaks were caused by exposure to the turtles or their environments, such as water from their habitats. Seventy-five percent of patients reported being exposed to turtles prior to their illness, and 93 percent of those patients said they had been exposed to small turtles (those with a shell length of less than four inches).
Small turtles are a well-known source of salmonella infections in humans and the sale and distribution of these turtles as pets has been banned in the U.S. since 1975, the CDC said.
Blood Transfusions for Dialysis Patients Rose After Drug Payment Changes
There's been a large increase in the number of U.S. dialysis patients undergoing blood transfusions since Medicare changed how it pays for drugs to treat these patients.
Federal regulators believed the changes introduced last year would save money and protect patient health by correcting what was believed to be a misguided financial incentive for dialysis centers to overprescribe anti-anemia drugs to patients, The New York Times reported.
Before the changes, Medicare paid dialysis centers for anti-anemia drugs separately from the actual blood-cleansing treatments. This may have encouraged overuse of the drugs by patients, which leads to increased red blood counts that boost the risk of heart attack and stroke.
The payment system was changed to reimburse dialysis centers for overall care, bundling together the cost of blood-cleansing treatments and drugs. This meant that the drugs became a drain on profits instead of a profit generator for dialysis centers, The Times reported.
In the first nine months of 2011, the proportion of dialysis patients covered by Medicare who received blood transfusions increased by 9 to 22 percent over the first nine months of 2010, according to the United States Renal Data System.
For example, there were 10,041 transfusions for dialysis patients in September 2011, compared with 8,259 in September 2010, The Times reported.
Between 2009 and 2010, there was virtually no change in blood transfusion rates for dialysis patients.
The research was to be presented Friday at a National Kidney Foundation meeting.
Words in Larger Fonts Cause Stronger Reaction: Study
Words in larger fonts trigger a stronger emotional brain response than those in smaller fonts, according to a new study.
German researchers monitored brain activity in 25 volunteers as they looked at 72 different positive, neutral and negative words in a variety of font sizes, ABC News reported.
Positive (e.g. holiday) and negative (e.g. disease) words printed in larger fonts prompted a stronger emotional brain response than the same words in smaller fonts. The font size of neutral words, such as chair, did not cause the same type of response.
"Our study showed that the effects of emotional meaning are boosted when words are presented in large fonts. In other words, more attention is captured by larger emotional words, probably explaining the power of large fonts in tabloid headlines or catchwords," lead author Mareike Bayer, of Humboldt University in Berlin, told ABC News.
The study was published in the journal PLoS One.

9. Ginger Baker
Before John Bonham and Neil Peart there was Ginger Baker, Cream's legendary drummer who practically invented the rock drum solo. Since Cream broke up in 1968 he became deeply interested in world music (long before Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon made it fashionable), but in 2005 he reunited with Cream for concerts in London and New York. Many had written him off for dead before those shows, but as he demonstrated with his famous "Toad" solo every night, he still had the goods - even if time had slowed him down a bit.

Opera Cadet Hotel
Travel Blogs from Paris
Last 4 days in Paris
Hello again, just like my last update I am still in Paris. On Sunday morning, we headed to Sacre Coeur for a great view of the city. I had been here before but had never seen it so busy. This is also where the most aggressive hagglers are in my opinion. After Sacre Coeur it was wondering around the neighbourhood of Montmarte, a busy market area. …
First 4 days in Paris
Bonjour from Paris!
I have now made my way onto the continent and am now in French mode. I took the Eurostar train from London to Paris last on Wednesday and arrived by 10am. It was only a 10 minute walk from the train station to my hotel in the Opera district of Paris. I met up with my group and got right on a coach bus for a bus tour of the …
Paris, Jour 3
The next morning was a little rough, but we got up and got ourselves some lunch at a little place nearby, then went to the Louvre. I wish I could have spent more time inside the Louvre just walking around and admiring all the beautiful paintings, but it closed early-ish so we didn't have a ton of time. I saw the Mona Lisa and was glad I read the Da …
Paris, jour 2
Saturday we got to sleep in a little, which was much needed. We were probably getting 4 hours tops all week, so getting 7 was awesome. We headed to the Champs Elyses, which is the best shopping street in Paris. For us however, it was again window-shopping. The Louis Vutton store was wild. I must have been standing near far more than a million …
We stopped in Epernay, the famous champagne town in the wine region of France. I wish I knew more about champagne before I went so I could fully appreciate it, but it was still neat. The town is centered around Champagne Avenue (nickname) and is a center for luxury champagne companies. We toured Moet & Chandon, which I guess is the most famous …

Historical Traveler Reviews Opera Cadet Hotel Paris
Very pleasant hotel with good location
Stayed at the Opera Cadet May 5-11, 2004. We had a 4th floor room overlooking the street. The street was very quiet and never bothered us. We walked about 15 minutes to Gare du Nord to catch the Eurostar for a day trip to London. Walking back to the hotel at 11:30pm was very safe with lots of people on the streets. It was about a 15 minute walk to the Opera Garnier and major department stores. Several good places to eat are within just a few minutes stroll. The room was clean and the hotel staff were very helpful. Our only complaint was my wife not liking the hair dryer output. This was our second trip to Paris and will stay at the Opera Cadet on our next visit.
Loved the Opera Cadet
My friend and I stayed at the Opera Cadet Hotel the middle of January 04 for 6 days. We loved it! It was walking distance to two major department store, the Opera, our touring office, and right down the street from the Metro. The staff we're not only very friendly but extremely helpful in making suggestions and recommendations. The room was small but adequate and kept very clean by the staff. I would love to return in warm weather and eat in their outside courtyard. Truly a very Parisian neighborhood with a bakery, vegetable stand, flower stand, chocolate shop etc. right on your street! I recommend this hotel very highly! Jan Day Moline, Il
Wouldn't stay anywhere else
In 2004, it will be our 4th visit to Paris. We found the Opera Cadet on our first visit, and have stayed there every time we have visited Paris. The staff is extremely courteous, friendly, helpful, and professional. The rooms, are small, yet comfortable. The neighborhood offers every need, from the metro station just a few feet away, to small shops for food, wine, desserts, and staples. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.
Wonderful Small Hotel
The Rue Cadet is a small hotel that is very personal and inviting, the rooms, although 'small' according to American standards, easily fit from 1-4 people. The beds are thin but comfortable, the bathroom clean and well stocked. Everything is perfect, including the location, which is near the metro. The neighborhood is safe and shows the life of Paris, with its meat shops, bakeries and fish markets. If one is hungry, you can go anywhere for a quick bite, including a crepe on the corner. The breakfast is included in some packages and is really welcome, food served: eggs, breads, fruits, and cereal which is more than enough to qualify as filling. Staff knows English very well, some internet machines in the corner. Well recommended!
Wonderful treasure!
I loved the Opera Cadet Hotel. My two children (both adults) and I stayed there for a week in November 2003 and we were very happy with our accommodations. Very friendly staff, nice room (much bigger than I expected), wonderful coffee and an absolutely fabulous location. We were right across the street from the metro, which made it so convenient to go anywhere in the city. We were also close to numerous shops and restaurants, not to mention the open markets and bakeries. I would recommend anyone to stay at the Opera Cadet.
Loved the Opera Cadet
I had already booked a hotel in the Montparnasse area when I discovered the reviews on this web-site, which didn't rate it very highly at all!
Nice little hotel!
very nice hotel. clean. desk personnel were extremely helpful, especially thierry, the night desk clerk, who phoned his mother to get answers to my questions, when he did not know!! nicely located, about 10 minute walk to the opera, and 15 minutes to gallerie lafayette/le printemps department stores. pharmacy, small grocery stores, bakery very close by. safe neighborhood for evening walks. nice fruit basket deliverd by front desk on arrival day. breakfast sufficient, though not "grand" with the usual bread, croissants, yogurt, cereals. nothing bad at all to say about this property! i would stay there again.
A very comfortable hotel.
We were moved to this hotel for just a couple of nights, by the one we originally booked. The rooms were small but bright (the usual French peach) and the service was good. The rooms facing the back were much quieter with a pretty view of their tiny garden. The lobby is spacious and leads to the garden, as does the breakfast room. We did find that most of the brasseries were closed for a late dinner. But during the day there are nice food shops on the cute street, and all the sales people were friendly. We loved the cheese we bought there.
Great Service!
What a super find right in the heart of the Opera district! A 10 minute walk to either Gare St. Lazare or Gare du Nord. Excellent, helpful staff. The bartender even gave us an ice bucket to chill our champagne that we'd brought. Room was a good size with plenty of mirrors for 3 women getting ready to go out. Gorgeous bouquets of fresh flowers everywhere and an excellent breakfast included in the room price. I would definitely stay here again! Just one quibble, the beds have plastic coated mattresses that are very noisy, hot and uncomfortable. I put a towel down, but it didn't solve the problem. Otherwise a super spot!
I am in love with this hotel!
After living briefly in Paris, and craving the opportunity to return, I found a great internet vacation package that included the hotel Opera Cadet. Since a few family members were joining me, I wanted to find the best, most accessible (for those unfamiliar with the language), attractive, yet affordable place to stay. I was blown away by this place! The staff exceeds every American notion of customer service, and the attractive, tidy, and modern rooms and facilities belied the cost of our stay. The breakfast is fantastic, as well as the cozy bar downstairs, and again I can't empasize enough how kind and helpful the staff is! In addition they have fax capabilities, meeting rooms, etc., and their website is very informative. The neighborhood is one of the most charming in Paris, and the street below features wonderful vendors. The metro is quite literally across the street, so the entire city is accessible. Needless to say, it was a wonderful feeling to find a hotel that was so beautiful, yet so incredibly reasonable in Paris. I would recommend this hotel to anyone in a heartbeat (but I would be so jealous that you would be the one going!!). I cannot wait to return to the hotel Opera Cadet.

As the outdoor season approaches, many homeowners and outdoor enthusiasts look for ways to control mosquitoes. With all the publicity about the West Nile virus, mosquito repelling products are gaining in popularity. But many commercial insect repellents contain from 5% to 25% DEET. There are concerns about the potential toxic effects of DEET, especially when used by children. Children who absorb high amounts of DEET through insect repellents have developed seizures, slurred speech, hypotension and bradycardia.
There are new DEET-free mosquito repellents on the market today which offer some relief to those venturing outdoors in mosquito season. But there are also certain plants which are easy to grow and will have some effect in repelling mosquitoes from areas of your home and garden.
Commonly grown as ornamental border plants, marigolds are hardy annual plants which have a distinctive smell which mosquitoes, and some gardeners, find particularly offensive. Marigolds contain Pyrethrum, a compound used in many insect repellents.
Marigolds prefer full sunlight and reasonably fertile soil. Although marigolds can be planted from seed, starter plants are inexpensive and readily available at most garden centers. Although an annual, marigold will often reseed itself in favourable conditions, or the gardener can easily collect seeds for future germination. Established plants will need to be thinned, and flowers should be dead-headed to promote additional blooms.
Potted marigolds can be positioned near entrances to your home and any common mosquito entry points, such as open windows. The smell may deter mosquitoes from going past this barrier. While marigolds can be used as border plants around the patio, we do not advise putting marigolds on the patio table since the bright blooms may attract wasps.
Besides repelling mosquitoes, marigolds repel insects which prey on tomato plants, so you may want to plant a few marigolds in your tomato bed for added protection.
Catnip is a natural mosquito repellent. In August 2010, entomologists at Iowa State University reported to the American Chemical Society that catnip is ten times more effective than DEET, the chemical found in most commercial insect repellents. According to Iowa State researcher Chris Peterson, the reason for its effectiveness is still unknown. "It might simply be acting as an irritant or they don't like the smell. But nobody really knows why insect repellents work."
In the laboratory, Peterson put groups of 20 mosquitoes in a two-foot glass tube, half of which was treated with nepetalactone, a biologically active characteristic constituent of catnip. After 10 minutes, only an average of 20 percent – about four mosquitoes – remained on the side of the tube treated with a high dose (1.0%) of the oil. In the low dose test (0.1%) an average of 25% – five mosquitoes – stayed on the treated side. When the same tests were conducted using DEET (diethyl-meta-toluamide), approximately 40 to 45% – eight to nine mosquitoes – remained on the treated side. A ten-fold higher concentration of DEET was required to obtain results similar to those of the Catnip.
Catnip, Nepeta cateria, is very easy to grow. This perennial herb is related to mint, and grows readily both as a weed and a commercially cultivated plant in most areas of the US.
While catnip will repel mosquitoes in close proximity to the plant, some people apply crushed catnip leaves or catnip oil for more robust protection. Bear in mind, however, that cats will respond to you similarly as they would respond to the plant itself. Cat owners may want to choose an alternative plant for repelling mosquitoes.
While the plants mentioned in this article have been shown to have mosquito-repelling properties, there are environmental variables that can mitigate their effectiveness. A breeze may direct odors in the opposite direction if advancing mosquitoes, reducing the plant's effectiveness.New formulations of non-toxic mosquito repellents are commercially available, and are advised for people who want to enjoy the outdoors without the annoyance of persistent mosquitoes.
Also known as Beebalm, Horsemint is an adaptable perennial plant which repels mosquitoes much the same as citronella. It gives off a strong incense-like odor which confuses mosquitoes by masking the smell of its usual hosts.
Horsemint is a fast growing, shade-tolerant and drought-resistant plant which reaches a height and width of 2 – 3 feet. It does well in dry, sandy soil and can tolerate salty conditions, which is why it is often found in coastal and beach areas. Horsemint seeds can be sown indoors in trays for later transplanting, or sown directly into the ground in late summer in colder climate zones. Midwest and Eastern growing zones are favoured for growing horsemint.
Mature horsemint plants can be divided in spring and fall by dividing into small sections and transplanting into permanent locations. Horsemint can also be planted in pots for moving indoors in cold climate zones.
Horsemint leaves can be dried and used to make herbal tea. Its flowers will also attract bees and butterflies to your garden.

Home > Research Legal Advice > Wills / Living Wills > Can my aunt legally hide a last will from her deceased husband's childre...
My aunt married this guy; they didn't have any children together but he had children from previous relationships. She signed a prenuptial agreement and he made a will before passing away. Shortly after the marriage he became sick and she cared for him. She is kind of angry that she took care of him and he left her little or nothing and left mostly for his children. My aunt don't think the children deserve anything.
His children frequently calls her requesting the information to the lawyer who has the will and she refuse to tell them the name. Can she legally refuse to give the information to the children?
Can the children take any legal action or request the courts to make her reveal the information? She doesn't want to tell them because she don't think they deserve it.
Unfortunately for your aunt, she does not get to choose how her husband's estate is handled and distributed. She apparently does not have rights in the assets. While she does not need to actively cooperate with his kids, she DOES need to turn over any original Will in her possession. Really, it is only a matter of time before his kids figure this all out, anyway. They are likely to be far more understanding and patient with her if she is helpful to them. Regardless, she does not have the ability to legally assert any rights over the assets at this time.
James Frederick
Your aunt, as explained by my wise colleagues here, is legally required to produce the will and can be forced to do so under penalty if she doesn't cooperate. However, if the will is unfair to your aunt, she can exercise her Right of Election. New York law is very specific in its protection of the inheritance rights of a spouse (husband or wife). Under the law, a spouse is entitled to an "elective share" of the assets which is defined as the greater of $50,000.00 or one-third of the estate which includes property such as joint bank accounts and certain assets which are known as "testamentary substitutes." A spousal right of election can be filed by a surviving spouse who has not inherited assets that are at least equal to the elective share of the estate. This must be done within 6 months after the executor of the estate is appointed. In this case since there was a prenuptial agreement, the case should be evaluated as early as possible, for the agreement may be overturned if it is deemed to be unfair. The likelihood of the pre-nup being overturned is unlikely, but this is the only legal way she can attempt to get anything from the estate without the children's consent. My suggestion is that should decide if the amount that she would get from the Marital Election is significant enough to cover a good litigation attorney and leave her with a substantive inheritance and whether this is important enough for her to risk ruining her relationship with her stepchildren before she files for the election.

Roger Ebert to Speak Again (to Oprah!)Posted by Lauren in oprah , i can't believe they dated , esquire , ebert |
Many people know that the iconic film critic, Roger Ebert has been battling cancer for a few years because he left his television show "At the Movies" (that he started with Gene Siskal in 1982). What many people do not know is the extent of the illness and the extraordinary life Ebert is leading these days. He has lost parts of his jaw and his ability to speak, eat or drink. For a very candid and personal look into the man's life, I highly recommend reading Chris Jones' piece in Esquire magazine, "Roger Ebert: The Essential Man". By internet standards it is a very long article, but definitely worth the read.
Ebert is also set to appear in an interview with Oprah, and with the help of a new speech device made by Scottish company CereProc, may be able to speak as he once did. I was unable to find out when this interview will air, but I will keep looking for it. Apparently Oprah and Ebert are long time friends and on a DATE (!) in the early 1980s, Ebert encouraged Oprah to pursue a career in television.

The Miami-Dade Fire Rescue official who wrote on Facebook that "failed, shitbag, ignorant" parents are to blame in cases like the shooting death of unarmed Miami Gardens teen Trayvon Martin has been demoted.
Captain Brian Beckmann, who has been with Fire Rescue since 1997, was demoted two rungs to the lowest rank of firefighter during a Monday morning administrative hearing and will be required to undergo a psychological evaluation and undergo diversity training, as first reported by CBS Miami.
Though the firefighters union said it would appeal the ruling, WSVN reports Beckmann submitted an apology to Fire Chief William Bryson, stating in part:
"I promise that I will try harder than ever to be a decent and professional public servant to the citizens of Miami-Dade County... My family has suffered tremendously and this has been punishment beyond anything I ever imagined."
A screencap of Beckmann's comments was first published on TheGrio.com when its source expressed concern at "the thoughts of someone who responds to the homes of the very people" disparaged on his Facebook page, which cites Metro-Dade Firefighters Local 1403.
The rant was reportedly published April 11, the same night special prosecutor Angela Corey announced second degree murder charges against George Zimmerman, the self-appointed neighborhood watch captain who shot Martin after he spotted the black 17-year-old walking through his father's gated community in Sanford, wearing a hoodie. Wrote Beckmann:
"Listening to Prosecutor Corey blow herself and her staff for five minutes before pre-passing judgment on George Zimmerman. The state seeks reelection again, truth aside. I and my coworkers could rewrite the book on whether our urban youths are victims of racist profiling or products of their failed, shitbag, ignorant, pathetic, welfare dependent excuses for parents, but like Mrs. Corey, we speak only the truth. They're just misunderstood little church going angels and the ghetto hoodie look doesn't have anything to do with why people wonder if they're about to get jacked by a thug."
Though Beckmann defended his right to "freely express an opinion...not embellish or alter the facts," Fire Rescue shortly launched an investigation while outraged citizens took to both the streets in protest and the department's Facebook page to call for his firing.
"While Capt. Beckmann should be able to practice his 1st Amendment protections," wrote a Facebook commenter, "being that he is a 'leader' in the MDFR organization I seriously question his judgment and ability to make good sound decisions, especially where the community he supposedly protects is concerned."
Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, is a "well-respected" program coordinator at the Miami-Dade County Housing Authority, where she has worked for 23 years, according to the Miami Herald. His father Tracy Martin is a truck driver.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said in a statement that he supports the demotion and has asked for a tighter revision of social media policies, according to Local10:
"The comments made by Captain Beckmann were reprehensible and will not be tolerated. We can't have our employees, especially a supervisor, making such disparaging comments about any member of our community, much less one of our own employees..."There's no such thing as being off-the-clock; we are public servants 24/7 and must conduct ourselves with the utmost professionalism at all times."

The summer months are a perfect time to relax and catch up on a few good books. This is especially important for students.
The Georgia Department of Education notes:
"According to a recent Harvard research study, if students are encouraged to utilize summer hours to read between five and eight books that interest them and that are on their Lexile level, the effects will be the same as going to summer school. Let's make sure our students have a good book in their hands when they are not in the classroom."
Adults need to feed their minds too. We've put together a list of where to find good books to read this summer for students, educators and parents.

The latest regulatory effort to control the internet: a proposed bill would prohibit access to MySpace.com and numerous other sites with social networking aspects from computers at public schools and libraries. Declan McCullagh has the run down … Sponsored by U.S. Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick (R, PA) after polling to define hot-button suburban issues, the Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA) would block access to commercial sites that allow the creation of public personal pages and include communications functions like chat, IM, email, boards. In some, cases access with parental authorization and/or adult supervision would be allowed. It would cut far wider a swath than the social networking sites caught in the crossfire; consider the number of sites that meet that description, including neary every major portal or services owned by them. The bill also would:
– require the FTC to issue a consumer alert about the potential danger of social networking and to establish a resource site on the subject (with "a distinctive Uniform Resource Locator").
– require the FCC to establish an advisory board that would issue an annual watchlist of sites "shown to allow sexual predators easy access to personal information of, and contact with, children."

It's been a while since I last heard that opening guitar riff. This is one of those 80s tunes that I never asked for as a Christmas or Birthday present, but now wish I had done! Breaking The Law reached #12 in the UK during 1980, and was the second single to be released from Judas Priest's sixth studio album British Steel. The album was initially sold at just £3.99 which helped it to become one of the band's best-selling albums. Other singles from the album were Living After Midnight (#12) and United (#26) which was the third and final single released from the album. British Steel also features the track Metal Gods which became the band's moniker. The heavy metal band formed in Birmingham, England in 1969, and between 1974 and 2008 released sixteen albums. They are still performing and are currently on their Epitaph World Tour. The band members are; Rob Halford (vocals from 1974 to present), Glenn Tipton (guitar from 1974 to present), Richie Faulkner (he replaced K. K. Downing on April 20th 2011 as a guitarist following his Downing's retirement), Ian Hill (a founding member and bass player) and Scott Travis (an American drummer who's been with the band since 1989). |

Wiz Khalifa Reacts To Amber Rose's Twerk Video
Wiz Khalifa says he asked Amber Rose why she made her twerk video. He also comments on Miley Cyrus' MTV VMAs performance.
Wiz Khalifa recently addressed his wife Amber Rose's twerk video after commenting on Miley Cyrus' twerking during an interview with New York radio station Hot 97.
"Young, wild and free," Wiz said when asked to comment on Miley Cyrus' twerking during her MTV Video Music Awards performance. "You've gotta let people do what they want to do...That's my homegirl."
Beyond being his homegirl, Miley Cyrus is also an artist Khalifa has collaborated with. The two recently filmed a video for "23," a selection for Mike WiLL Made It. The Cyrus/Khalifa connection also expands beyond music as Cyrus' mother, Tish Cyrus, is managing Wiz's wife, Amber Rose.
Amber Rose also commented on Miley Cyrus' twerking, saying that she is a "real sweetheart." After speaking about Cyrus' twerking, Rose's own twerk video became the focal point of discussion.
Rose addressed the twerk video, which she published on Instagram, and explained how it came about.
"[Someone] peer-pressured me into putting that video out completely," Rose said. "And I was like, 'Fine, I'll do it.' The next day, [Wiz] was like, 'Aw, shit. You put out a freakin' twerk video.'"
Khalifa reacted to the video also.
"I was like, 'What did you do that for?'" Khalifa said. "I wasn't not into it. I was just like, 'Is that what you really want to do?' She was like, 'It was fun.' I was like, 'Alright. Cool. Whatever.'"
The video for the couple's Hot 97 interview can be seen below.
Aside from the aforementioned collaboration with Mike WiLL Made It and Miley Cyrus, Khalifa is also working on his own new music. He is now crafting his upcoming project, Black Hollywood.

Raiders vs. Colts: Full Roster Report Card Grades for Indianapolis
By Kyle J. Rodriguez ,
The Indianapolis Colts got a win over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday afternoon in Indianapolis but failed to impress much of anybody in the 21-17 win.
The Colts needed some late-game heroics from second-year sensation Andrew Luck, and the defense was even more sieve-like than anybody wanted to admit. There were a few strong performances, but overall, there were far more questions than answers coming out of the win.
So who played well, and who was a goat? Find out in this week's edition of game grades!
Andrew Luck: A
The only negative for Luck during the Colts' win over Oakland was the four sacks that he took. While the offensive line certainly did Luck no favors (seem familiar?), Luck held on to the ball a bit too long, resulting in losses that should not have happened.
Overall, however, Luck was brilliant. On the Colts' first two drives, Luck didn't have a single incomplete pass, leading the Colts to two straight touchdowns.
Luck finished with 18 completions on 23 attempts for 178 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 38 yards and a touchdown on the ground, the game-winning 19-yard run. Luck finished as the top quarterback in ESPN's QBR, as well as third in Advanced NFL Stat's WPA (Win Probability Added) and fifth in EPA (Expected Points Added).
Vick Ballard: B
The Colts needed a boost in running with the renewed focus under offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton. Ballard tried to provide that, picking up 63 yards on just 13 carries, a 4.8-yard average. Ballard's success rate was 46 percent, a decent rate, but the Colts would prefer 50 percent or higher. Ballard was successful on one of his five second-half carries, a big reason why the Colts' drives stalled.
The newest Colt in the running back corp was less than impressive in his debut. It seems that the Colts are still holding him back due to injury, as they played him for just 15 snaps. Bradshaw finished with just seven carries for 26 yards, a 3.7-yard average. His success rate was even worse, finishing with a success rate of just 14 percent rushing the ball.
Reggie Wayne: A+
Showing that he's not going to be outdone by the younger, prototypical No. 1 wide receivers, Wayne was Luck's go-to receiver once again, catching eight passes on eight targets for 96 yards and a touchdown. Wayne caught everything (including one spectacular one-handed pass), was consistently open and converted two key third downs.
Darrius Heyward-Bey: B-
Newly-signed Heyward-Bey showed off his toughness in this one, catching a few big passes for 33 yards and drawing an unnecessary roughness penalty on a shot to the helmet. On that same play, Heyward-Bey reached ahead to gain the first down before absorbing the hit, energizing the crowd and extending the drive, which ended in Luck's game-winning touchdown.
T.Y. Hilton: C-
Hilton wasn't as active as some thought he might be in this one, as Hamilton favored two-WR sets. Hilton was on the field for just 25 snaps, and caught three passes on five targets for 20 yards.
Dwayne Allen: B
Allen contributed as a blocker, and was strong, but his most noticeable play came early in the second quarter with a 20-yard touchdown pass. Allen caught the ball in traffic and fought through contact for the touchdown. The offense looked much more efficient when Allen was on the field, so the hip injured in the third quarter is a bit concerning.
Coby Fleener: D
Fleener didn't make any noticeable impact on the game, not sticking out in run blocking and catching just one pass for seven yards.
Anthony Castonzo: C+
Castonzo did a decent job for most of the game, but had some troubles with Justin Houston and some communication issues with both Donald Thomas and running backs that allowed for pressure on Luck.
Donald Thomas: B-
Thomas run blocked well, and kept Luck clean for the most part. He did allow a few linemen to get around him to the outside a few times, and he didn't always pull well enough to be effective on guard-pulling plays.
Samson Satele: C-
Satele was asked to double-team players more often than not, but still allowed pressure on too many plays, including Luck's second touchdown pass. Satele has to be able to consistently maul people in the run game if he's not going to pass block well, and I don't see that happening.
Mike McGlynn: D+
Easily the Colts' weakest link, Indianapolis tried to hide McGlynn as much as possible, but he still got pushed back into Luck's face too often and couldn't pave the way in the running game.
Gosder Cherilus: C
Cherilus was a decent pass protector in this one, not having any huge gaffes but allowing a few pressures around the edge, and wasn't effective in the run game.
Cory Redding: B
One of the Colts' few pass-rushing defensive linemen, Redding finished with three run stops and and picked up a QB hit as well.
Ricky Jean Francois: D+
Aubrayo Franklin: D+
The two free-agent signings were strong against the run, helping to limit Darren McFadden to just 48 yards on 17 carries. Unfortunately, in the area the Colts could have really used s boost (pass rush), the two failed to show up all game.
Robert Mathis: C+
Mathis finished with one sack, a key one at the end of the Raiders final drive. But he struggled to get pressure outside of that play and wasn't particularly strong against the run.
Bjoern Werner: D
The Colts' 2013 first-round pick did get into the backfield on a couple plays, but failed to notch a single defensive tackle or sack. Werner's inexperience got him trapped inside on a few running plays to the outside, but it was the lack of pass rush that really hurt Indianapolis.
Erik Walden: D+
Walden was slightly more active than Werner, but still failed to make any impact in the backfield at all. He was consistently fooled by Terrelle Pryor and could not track him well Sunday afternoon.
Jerrell Freeman: B
Freeman picked up where he left off in 2012, earning 10 tackles. Overall, he showed exceptional range and covered well too.
Kelvin Sheppard: C-
Sheppard didn't renew anyone's faith in this one as he replaced Pat Angerer and his replacement, Kavell Conner, in the starting lineup. Sheppard allowed too much separation in coverage but was decent in run support.
Vontae Davis: B-
While the Colts secondary can't cover forever, the Colts made some poor decisions that allowed the Raiders to extend drives. Davis needs to play closer to the line of scrimmage with his press-man skills and good size.
Greg Toler: B+
Toler is every bit the ball hawk that he was advertised to be, picking off Terrelle Pryor in the end zone and knocking down two other passes. He did allow a few completions that he shouldn't have, but that's what you get when he only is in the game for 25 plays.
Darius Butler: A-
The Raiders game plan didn't call for a nickel corner on every down, and when Butler was brought in, they didn't pick on him.
Antoine Bethea: B
Bethea filled his new role well, playing like a new man with a solid partner next to him. The veteran safety was all over the field, supporting the run and taking advantage of Pryor's inexperience to earn a pick, saving the game for Indianapolis.
LaRon Landry: B+
The Colts got their first live glimpse at Landry on Sunday and came away impressed.
Landry earned tackles all over the field, picking a team-high 15 tackles as well as a pass defensed. Landry was extremely energetic and was a force against the run and the pass. He showed off his big-hit ability and forced an incompletion in the first half. He did get manipulated by Terrelle Pryor once or twice, but generally helped the Colts contain him.
Pat McAfee: C+
McAfee only punted the ball three times, and twice punted less than 40 yards. On one, it was somewhat acceptable, as he pinned the Raiders on their own 15-yard line, but he still had plenty of room to get it farther.
Adam Vinatieri: A
The veteran kicker wasn't tested on Sunday, but was three for three on extra points.

Electronic Fly Catcher
Little Shop of Horrors fans rejoice! Now you can have your very own eating plant that actually burps after snapping down on those pesky flies. This little curiosity measures about 8 inches and operates on three AAA batteries. A non-toxic bait (read: not dog dung) based at the bottom of the jaws lures the insect inside. As the insect crawls into the mouth of the trap, two sensors detect the insect causing the mouth to shut, swatting the insect dead. I'm wondering if it works on cockroaches too - and also, how you are supposed to dispose of the bugs?

lol, eat them or use the bug yack as spread on your favorite bread or crackers .
My guess is that little black part on the bottom is the "bait pack" and would probably have refills.
Another cool novelty that I would totally buy…like that vodoo knife rack. Someone really needs to start a site up selling these things!

Adam Dunn 1B/DH CWS 6 Months
Adam Dunn is not in the White Sox starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.
The veteran slugger is getting a day of rest against opposing southpaw Wei-Yin Chen. Dunn is hitting .225/.325/.445 with 30 homers, 80 RBI and a 69/162 BB/K rate on the year, and has recently hinted at the possibility that he could retire after the conclusion of this season.
Adam Dunn 1B/DH CWS 6 Months
Adam Dunn told FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal Tuesday that he could retire after the season.
Dunn is just 33, is guaranteed $15 million next season and is within shouting distance of 500 homers, but he indicated that a lack of enjoyment for the game could lead him to walking away. "I'm not coming back just to come back for money or because I have one year left (on his contract)," Dunn said. "I'm not coming back to chase home-run numbers or whatever. If I end up with 499 and I'm not having fun, see ya - 499 it is." It's certainly something to file away, but it's hard to see Dunn giving up a guaranteed $15 million.
Adam Dunn 1B/DH CWS 6 Months
Adam Dunn is not in the White Sox starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Red Sox.
It's merely a day of rest for the monstrous slugger against left-hander Felix Doubront. He's having a productive season for the White Sox, hitting .228/.331/.456 with 30 homers and 79 RBI in 128 games.
Adam Dunn 1B/DH CWS 7 Months
Adam Dunn reached 30 homers for the ninth time in his career Monday against the Astros.
Dunn took Brett Oberholtzer deep in the sixth for No. 30. His homer pace has actually slowed down as the year has gone on, though his batting average keeps going up. He's at .235 right now, which is a huge improvement considering he finished May at .156 and didn't get over .200 for good until July 4.
Adam Dunn 1B/DH CWS 7 Months
Adam Dunn slugged his 29th home run of the season Saturday as the White Sox beat the Rangers 3-2.
It was the seventh win in eight games for the out-of-contention Pale Hose, who are doing a good job of playing spoiler. Dunn has an .803 OPS in 122 games.
Adam Dunn 1B/DH CWS 7 Months
Adam Dunn went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk, and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Twins.
Dunn is hitting .313 through 28 games since the All-Star break, though he has just four home runs during that timespan. The 33-year-old slugger reportedly passed through waivers earlier this month, so he can be traded to any team, but his remaining salary would likely be a big obstacle to a potential deal.
Adam Dunn 1B/DH CWS 7 Months
CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that Adam Dunn has passed through waivers.
He can now be traded anywhere. Dunn is batting .227/.332/.465 with 26 homers and 69 RBI this season but is still owed close to $20 million through the end of next season. Heyman lists the Rangers and Orioles as two teams that might have interest, though the Rangers would prefer a right-handed bat.
Adam Dunn 1B/DH CWS 7 Months
Adam Dunn finished 4-for-5 with a solo homer in Sunday's loss to the Tigers.
Dunn's second four-hit game of the season spiked his batting average from .218 to .226. The slugger's awful averages have always hurt his fantasy value, but he's still on pace for 39 homers and 100 RBI. Dunn's 26 bombs rank fifth in the American League.
Adam Dunn 1B/DH CWS 7 Months
Adam Dunn went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in a loss to the Indians on Tuesday.
The double was Dunn's 11th on the year, giving him 65 RBI. He's hitting just .216 this year but with a .323 on-base percentage. He's now got hits in six of his last seven games.
Adam Dunn 1B/DH CWS 8 Months
Adam Dunn went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in the White Sox' win over the Tigers on Tuesday.
Dunn had three of the team's 23 hits in the game, including his 24th home run. The big man has carried a scorching June over into a nice July, as he's got three homers and eight RBI this month. He's now driven in 60 runs on the year and is hitting .209/.308/.480 overall.

The ESS supports the following clubs and teams:
UVic AERO is a not-for-profit student run team that designs and fabricates aircraft. Their team currently consists of 30 members, with new ones joining all the time. Membership includes students in electrical, mechanical, computer and software engineering, as well as complimentary disciplines, such as business and economics. This gives students the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in order to solve real world challenges.
The primary purpose of the team is to develop strong hands-on design skills in student engineers who are interested in cutting-edge technology. These include mechanical and electrical hardware design, software development, and aircraft systems engineering. UVic AERO members also gain experience working as a team in areas of project management, technical writing, project presentation, manufacturing processes and system integration. Membership is voluntary, with no academic credit given. This means that only well-organized students with drive and determination will have the time to devote to the team outside of class.
The UVic AERO team is currently working on updating and improving our current aircraft and ground control systems for the Unmanned Systems Canada competition this year.
Check out their webpage at www.engr.uvic.ca/~aero for more info.
AUVic is an interdisciplinary student-run group that designs and builds an autonomous submersible robot to compete in the international RoboSub competition. The primary purpose of AUVic is to provide students with hands-on exposure to underwater technology and embedded systems. Every aspect of the robot must be designed, created and tested by the team, giving students the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in order to solve real world challenges. The competition itself is an obstacle course with challenges such as object and colour recognition, firing torpedos at targets, dropping weights into bins, picking up and transporting objects, and detecting sonar pingers.
AUVic welcomes students of all disciplines and experiences!

EcoCAR 2: Plugging In to the Future is a three-year collegiate advanced vehicle technology engineering competition established by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and General Motors (GM), and is being managed by Argonne National Laboratory. The competition challenges 15 universities across North America to reduce the environmental impacts of vehicles by minimizing the vehicle's fuel consumption and reducing its emissions while retaining the vehicle's performance, safety and consumer appeal. Students use a real-world engineering process to design and integrate their advanced technology solutions into a GM-donated vehicle.
Check out their webpage at www.ecocar.uvic.ca for more info
ECOsat is designing and building a nano-satellite (which is around 3 litres and less than 4 kg) for a nation-wide competition involving 9 universities. The team gets to design and build the satellite, choosing the mission, the internal structure and all the components. Student members have the opportunity to work on circuit boards, including on-board computing, soldering, prototyping and power regulation; communications, which currently uses a Software Defined Radio system; computer aided modelling of the spacecraft's structure, thermal and vibration properties, using SolidWorks and FEMAP; and other aspects such as internal bus, mechanical deployment systems, the Attitude Determination and Control System, and power generation. Students on the team gain hands on experience in designing, building and testing these in-house creations, and have the opportunity to travel (so far to Vancouver, Quebec and/or Ottawa).
Check out their webpage at www.csdc.uvic.ca for more info.
Formula SAE
Formula SAE is one of the most rewarding projects you can become a part of at UVic. On top of the extensive hands-on experience you will gain, every team member is given an opportunity to drive the car during pre-competition testing.
The Society of Automotive Engineers started the Formula SAE competition in 1981 in hopes that young engineers would gain the practical experience required in the industry. Since then Formula SAE has grown into the world's largest engineering competition. In 2001 the UVic Formula SAE team was formed and has been competing every year since.
The competition calls on university students to conceive, design, fabricate, and race a small formula style, open wheel race car. With the design being governed by tactful restrictions, and adding the several hours a week onto an already demanding schedule, Formula SAE pushes the limits of your education and continually tests your time management and organization.
Check out their webpage at www.fsae.uvic.ca for more info.
Leadership Through Diversity
Leadership Through Diversity (LTD) is a group aiming to provide all-inclusive events and opportunities for engineering students to network, get involved with, and meet other students in their faculty. LTD aims at promoting diversity throughout engineering in the form of leadership, hosting events that any engineering student can participate in, providing academic workshops, mentor opportunities and speaker events.
The group currently focuses on running events and workshops surrounding first years, women in engineering, students with disabilities, bridging students, and international students. Some of the events ran every semester are Girls' Night, ENGR & CSC LAN Party, a speaker event, and a first-year workshop.
In the future, LTD hopes to expand and incorporate first year mentorship, high school recruitment, high school mentorship, and a variety of additional events. Anyone in engineering is encouraged to attend events and get involved. Check out their website at ltd.uvic.ca.
