Hotel Santo Tomas
The Hotel Santo Tomas is tucked behind one of Menorca's longest beaches. It gives you direct access to the golden sands, and commands sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea. The hotel grounds are cloaked in well-tended lawns and glossy palm trees, which sweep down to the shore.
Among the greenery is a sea-facing swimming pool. It's framed by sunbeds and straw umbrellas, and there's a cocktail and snack bar close by. Elsewhere, you'll find the Santo Tomas Spa. Head here to made use of the mosaic-tiled indoor pool, and choose from a lengthy treatment menu that lists the likes of chocolate body wraps, facials and massages.
Lastly, the hotel rooms are really smart. Walls are painted in olive-green and offset by cream soft furnishings, while accessories come in the form of flower-filled vases and chintzy floral curtains. Balconies are part of the package, too.

Me and my partner stayed at this fantastic hotel for 10 nights in October. First of all the food at this hotel is the best we have had at any hotel we have stayed in and we have stayed in 5star hotels in Egypt,turkey,morocco,holland and also top hotels in uk,well done santo thomas We got a room upgrade when we got to the hotel becouse off some problems with Thomson it was not the hotels fault but they upgraded us to a sea view suite,this was a lovely room with a living room,bedroom,and a lovely bathroom with shower and a big corner bath. The staff are fantastic from the managers to cleaners,they all carn't do enough for you,they are all a credit to this hotel,about 90% of the customers are over 60 when we were staying and I can honestly say they are treated like family and friends. The hotel itself is very,very clean,the garden and grounds are spotless and very well kept.

Fabulous hotel
Having just returned from our 7th trip to this hotel we can't wait to go back next year !!! travelling with my parents who both have very limited mobility the hotel & staff can't do enough to help, every member of staff always has a welcoming smile & nothing is too much trouble from the hotel MD to the lovely Cleaning ladies !!, the food was excellent as always only grip is the toaster at breakfast you need to put the bread through 4/5 times to get it even remotely brown also the bedrooms could do with a bit of an update with a walk in shower perhaps as it would make it much more easier for people with mobility/elderley guests, must say a special mention to Juan Ramon & Mafe who are just amasing at keeping guests feed & watered, if you want a drop& flop holiday with nice food in a lovley setting this is for you can't wait till 2014More

Great Relaxing Holiday
Wonderful stay. Went as part of a family group with my partner to the Santo Tomas for a week in Spetember. Firstly a mention for the staff who were all incredibly friendly and helpful especially Juan Ramon, he was fantastic and made us all feel very welcome indeed. The hotel decor is slightly dated but this does not take away from the general feel and warmth of the hotel. The location is stunning we had a part sea view room from which we could see the sunset and hear the sea from out balcony. The food was of a good standard and there was always plenty of choice even for fussy eaters. The hotel is quiet and perfect for people looking to get away from it all. From the pool to the rooms, to the food all was to a very high standard and imecably clean. Thank You Santo Tomas for a wonderful holiday experience. and a tip for people staying the hotel does offer WI-FI even though this is not stated anywhere. just ask at reception and they will give you the access code.More
Gary H,
Excellent place to chill
This was one of the most relaxing holidays we have had. The hotel has a lot of pluses. No fighting to get a bed round the pool, there are plenty and all with sun shade. Lovely food - well cooked and a good choice. The staff are exceptional, some of the best we have ever come across. Having access to English TV was good for us as we don't stay out late drinking and you can only read so many books. The only reasons I didn't give five stars were minor things: There were no tissues provided. I battled with those awful hangers in the wardrobe - we really do not want to steal your clothes hangers. I think that 15 Euros is a bit excessive for pool towel deposit. The beach beds and shades were expensive - such a shame as it put us off using them Bathrobes would have been so helpfulMore

Santo Tomas Hotel is a very special place
We stayed at the Santo Tomas Hotel on Menorca for a holiday for the fourth year running this September. With this only having been 'only' our fourth visit, we are relative newcomers, as other guests have been coming regularly for many more years. This is our favourite drop and flop place, and it feels like home from home to us by now. From the moment we step inside the hotel and see a familiar smiling face at reception, we are truly already on holiday. Mercifully, in September, there are usually no noisy kids spoiling adults' enjoyment of the large pool and well kept surroundings. A few steps across the promenade lead to a picturesque bay with a sandy beach. The hotel was family run until fairly recently, and a warm friendly family ethos is evident in all the staff. They simply become part of our holiday family. I almost hesitate to share this review, as this hotel is not very big and already very well subscribed and I don't really want to have to compete with even more people wanting to get in here! But then, it is simply too nice a place not to share.More

Minor but annoying system glitch
This is a minor thing in the grand scheme of life but it's setting off my OCD big time. Some times when you post in a thread and then click on the lounge link to get to the main lounge page there's a glitch. On the thread you just posted in, the title still shows as bold (indicating new posts by others in that thread) even though it has your user name under the 'Last Post' column. Checking the thread, no one else has posted in it either. I've tried refreshing the page, going out of and back into the lounge, control F5, shutting down the SD tab and opening it up again but nothing works. You have to go into that thread again and out again and only then will the title change from bold to not bold. I would say it's happening at least on every 10th post I make but it could be a little more or less that that. It's been doing this for at least a couple of weeks now. My keyboard won't screen print so I've copied and pasted an example below. 04-14-2010 06:14 PM 47562 I've got gall stones. **UPDATE** Post # 31 ( 1 2) Yesterday 11:25 PMZoe Moon VorlonFrog Last edited by Zoe Moon; 05-14-2010 at 12:14 AM..

The same thing has been mentioned by others, including myself, in this thread. For me, it's been happening much more since the 'refresh', though not quite as often now as it was at the time I posted in that thread.
This happens when there's a multipage thread, and you haven't read the last page prior to replying to the thread.

So how, with all the tools at their disposal, could G be way off on every ban? I would think that the majority of bans are justified. If I can track everything that happens with my system to legitimately identify fraud why can't G?
I have a fairly bulletproof tracking system built into my site that tracks, in various places, everything that happens. Fraud is a major concern with us and our accounting system is even better. Based on various behaviours and analysis I ban IP's all the time. I can see everyone who uses my system and what they are doing.I definitely don't have 1 phd let alone the bunch that G has.

'Triple dip' alert as UK economy contracts again
by Chris Marshall on Jan 25, 2013 at 09:31
The UK economy contracted again in the final quarter of 2012, with a 0.3% decline in GDP defying even the gloomiest of forecasts and raising fears of a return to a full-blown recession.
The 0.3% decline in GDP, dragged down by a particularly weak production sector, comes after a brief respite in the third quarter when the economy rose out of recession to expand by 0.9%.
Two consecutive quarters of negative growth are needed to meet the official definition of recession, and January's heavy snow could further weigh on the economy, dragging the first quarter GDP lower.
However, reports on UK GDP are often revised up as more data becomes available to the Office for National Statistics. Today's is the preliminary reading, which only reflects around 44% of the total data that will become available for final estimates.
'Seasonal adjustment problems, working day effects, the Olympic effect and underlying poor data quality make this an incredibly volatile report,' commented ING economist James Knightley, who said he was 'hopeful of a gradual improvement through 2013'.
What economists and investors are saying:
Azad Zangana, Schroders: 'Now that a negative GDP figure has been recorded, there is a significant risk that the UK economy suffers a triple-dip recession. Weak underlying economic activity coupled with the disruption of recent poor weather could cause GDP to fall in the first quarter of 2013.'
Howard Archer, IHS Global Insight: 'It must be noted that the sharper-than-expected drop in GDP in the fourth quarter was influenced significantly by a record drop in mining and quarrying output which was due to repair work on a major North Sea oilfield... There was also undoubtedly some payback in the fourth quarter from the Olympics-lifted GDP spike of 0.9% quarter-on-quarter in the third quarter.'
Trevor Greetham, Fidelity Worldwide Investment: 'The more time that passes the clearer it is that America's gradual and delayed approach to fiscal tightening is the right one. As the IMF belatedly concedes, it is far easier to balance the books when an economy is growing.'
Ross Walker, Royal Bank of Scotland: ''To be clear, the UK economy is in a fragile state and underlying output trends are broadly flat this is not a 'good' number in any absolute sense. But markets and policymakers need to look beyond the headline GDP estimate.'
Chris Williamson, Markit: 'The question is whether the smaller manufacturing sector can help drive a return to growth in the wider economy, or whether weak domestic consumer and business confidence will mean a downturn in services and retail offset any expansion of the goods-producing sector.'
Mark Littlewood, Institute of Economic Affairs: 'George Osborne's Plan A of spending £600 billion more over this Parliament than he brings in in tax revenue is, unsurprisingly, failing to yield results.'
Nonetheless, the weak report raises the pressure on chancellor George Osborne to re-think his austerity programme, coming after International Monetary Fund chief economist Olivier Blanchard this week told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme that now 'would be a good time to take stock'.
Chris Williamson, economist at data company Markit, said the report banged 'another nail in the coffin of the UK's AAA credit rating'.
It will also renew questions about whether the Bank of England should re-boot its quantitative easing aid programme, having already spent £375 billion to stimulate the economy. While the UK economy is weak, global growth is improving. Inflation remains above target at 2.7%, and expected to move slightly higher in the coming months, while the Bank's Funding for Lending scheme is starting to show results.
GDP and main components (source: ONS)
Before today's figures were released, forecasters on average had expected the UK economy to have contracted by 0.1% in 2012, 'zig-zagging' as had been predicted by Bank of England governor Mervyn King.
This year, the economy is expected to improve with economists on average pencilling in growth of 1% as the global economy slowly heals.
The pound weakened on the news, dropping back to $1.5760 after initial strength this morning. The FTSE 100 was little moved, higher on the day at 6,271.
'This will do little to reverse what's becoming a very negative outlook for the UK and the pound,' said Andy Scott of foreign exchange brokers HiFX.

I am hearing intelligent people now confused as to whether to vote Labour(!!) or UKIP in the next election as they feel that LibDems and Tories are already completely discredited and unelectable.
report thisJan 25, 2013 at 10:42
Without wishing to get political, the reality is whoever is in power would come up with 90% same answers to the problem so any variable is marginal at the extremes. Do we tax a little more or tax a little less, do we spend a little more or spend a little less? If we tax less or spend more then the reality is - in the short to medium term at least - a larger deficit leading to a larger debt.
The risk therefore is, will a larger defecit and debt be a productive investment? And if we assume it is a productive investment - in what should it be invested and where, because it would have to be concentrated somewhere to have a meaningful benefit but not take the defecit and debt to an even almightier level.
Labour have already shown in thirteen years that their investment record is not good - hospitals and schools spending £250 to change a light bulb! Moreover, running a defecit for eleven years in thirteen simply meant that GDP growth during Gordons time was a mirage built on debt and spending. He failed to build anything sustainable - other than debt of course!
The answer therefore would be more of the same OR UKIP!?! I must say I do not fancy UKIP in charge - how about you?

Yaya Toure's wallet,
I read a lot of posts on this website about the economic problems. Normally they fall into two camps i.e those for more spending and those for cuts.
Your comments are good because they point out the problems with either policy. It looks at the moment as though new ideas are required to try and sort out these debt problems which at the moment are getting worse.

Conservatives once stood for less state interference...no longer it seems. Any financial services practicioners will be fully aware of this and many I have spoken to in other sections of the economy tell me that regulations are tightening everywhere. When will this bunch of fools realise that to enable an economy to prosper LESS rules are required enabling greater flexibility?

IOC President Jacques Rogge Emphasizes Explaining Olympic Benefits To Brazilians
IOC President Jacques Rogge said on Wednesday that the IOC must make an effort to "explain the benefits" of hosting the 2016 Olympics to skeptical Brazilians, according to Brian Homewood of REUTERS. Brazil "was rocked by a wave of protests" last month, and among the protesters' many grievances "was the amount of public money being spent on new stadiums." Rogge: "We have to explain very clearly to the public that the investments made in the Olympic Games are for a sustainable legacy for generations to come. We must make it clear that, yes, the Games are a force for the good, that they improve the society and this has to be explained, because people don't know what the investments are." Rogge said that "it was up to the host country to decide how to fund Olympic Games building." Rogge said, "This is a sovereign decision of any government that organizes the Olympic Games. As you know, the investments are not for the short term, it is not for the two weeks of the Olympic Games or World Cup, they are for generations to come, whether it be bus lines, or improvements to the airport" (REUTERS, 7/10).
Russia's Federation Council Drafts Law To Prohibit Foreign Involvement In Int'l Events
Russia's Federation Council has drafted a law that will prohibit foreign nationals from working at large-scale int'l events in Russia, according to RAPSI. Kurgan Region Upper House member Sergei Lisovsky "believes only Russian nationals should be allowed to work at large competitions," with foreign performers and directors the only exception. Lisovsky said that "the idea came to him when he read in the documents" of the IOC that a Greek promotion company and its staff "will be entrusted with organizing part of the Sochi Winter Games." Lisovsky said he fears "the situation with the foreign entities will be same during the 2018 FIFA World Cup" (RAPSI, 7/11).
Turkish Olympic Committee Expects Recent Drug Busts To Help, Not Hinder, Host Candidacy
Turkey's Olympic committee insists "a spate of doping busts in the country will help rather than hinder their chances of hosting the 2020 Games," according to the AAP. Turkey Olympic Committee Head Ugur Erdener said, "The increase in the number of doping cases ... shows that Turkey is fighting doping, and in my opinion, will affect the Olympic bid positively, not negatively." The scandals "come in the final stages of Turkey's campaign to host the 2020 Games." Istanbul is competing against Madrid and Tokyo, with the IOC vote to be held Sept. 7. Erdener: "We are pressing ahead with our efforts to combat doping with tests conducted during and outside of competitions. Our fight has received international approval." Turkish Athletics Federation President Mehmet Terzi agreed with Erdener that "the chances of a successful Istanbul bid are enhanced when a federation fights against doping" and catches its own athletes and penalizes them (AAP, 7/11).

In a recent interview with NPR, Patterson said "We're at a juncture right now where bookstores as we've known them are at risk; libraries as we've known them are at risk, publishers are at risk, American literature is at risk... and getting kids reading is at risk."
Diane Capriola, co-owner of Decatur's Little Shop of Stories, agrees.
"The real beauty of what he's doing is he's trying to raise awareness of the importance of independent bookstores," Capriola said.
Little Shop of Stories was one of the independent bookstores to receive a grant of up to $15,000 as part of Patterson's giveaway. Patterson reportedly placed no requirements on how to spend the money. Some bookstores are spending the funds to give their employees raises, others to increase their presence at book fairs - Little Shop of Stories is using the money to buy a bus and turn it into a bookmobile.
"For about a year-and-a-half we've had this idea in our heads of creating some kind of bookmobile - taking an old school bus and just kind of revamping it and turning it into something really fun. We didn't have the cash to do it until now," Capriola said.
Capriola and Dave Shallenberger opened Little Shop of Stories nine years ago. After several years, Capriola said she and Shallenberger soon learned that to stay in business, Little Shop of Stories had to become much more than just a bookstore.
"The thing that we learned is that to survive we can't just sell books," Capriola said. "We've got to create events and really get out there, [sharing] books with people."
The bookstore focuses primarily on children and young adult books and Capriola said its mission is to turn children into "lifelong readers."
"We're always looking for ways we can extend our reach," Capriola said. "A lot of it is about reaching out to families and not just the individual child but getting parents on board about why reading is so important."
Capriola and Shallenberger hope to further this aim by using the bookmobile for a variety of things including bringing book fairs to local schools, using it to transport authors to speak to children and bringing books to those less fortunate.
"I'm sure there will be a charitable component where we'll be going to needy schools and giving out books," Capriola said.
This isn't the first time a popular author has made an effort to give back to local and independent booksellers, Shallenberger said.
Last year, poet Sherman Alexie offered to work at a local bookstore to create awareness of the importance of independent booksellers. Shallenberger said the idea spread like wildfire.
"It became a big national thing overnight and we had a couple big authors in our bookstore for that day," Shallenberger said.
So far, Patterson has given out approximately $267,000 to 55 bookstores around the country. Shallenberger said he hopes to have a bus purchased and decorated in time for the Decatur Book Festival, which takes place over Labor Day weekend.
Capriola said the possibilities for the bookmobile are endless.
"We're just now realizing that there is so much we can do with the bus," Capriola said.
Georgia native James Brown's long-awaited biopic will finally make its way to the big screen this summer. And the first trailer for Get On Up has just hit the web. It stars Chadwick Boseman, who played Jackie Robinson in 42 to mixed reviews, and is directed by Tate Taylor (The Help).
Whereas musical biopics have trended toward smaller, indie productions with narrower timelines in recent years, as the New York Times wrote about the new Hendrix pic All is By My Side, Get On Up seems to go for the more traditional womb-to-the-tomb epic as seen in the Oscar-winning Ray. Also unlike the Hendrix biopic, Get On Up will be full of Brown's original music.
Kennesaw State University has announced that they will reinstall Ruth Stanford's "A Walk in the Valley." KSU administration censored the artwork from the Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art days before the opening of the museum because, according to a state from the university, "did not align with the celebratory atmosphere of the Museum's opening." Stanford wrote about the experience and complicated decision to negotiate with the KSU administration for CL last week.
In a statement to CL about today's announcement, Stanford said, "I am happy that my work is going back in the show so that viewers can see it and form their own opinions. However, despite my best efforts I feel that KSU largely continues to control the conversation. The conversation should be about censorship, and KSU does not want to talk about that."

The Osborn Award recognizes Payne's play, Perfect Arrangement, which premiered in June 2013 at The Source Festival in Washington D.C., directed by Linda Lombardi. The award is designed to recognize the work of an author who has not yet achieved national stature. Last year it went to Keri Healey for Torso. Previous winners have included Yussef El Guindi, Rebecca Gilman, Keith Glover and Richard Kalinoski.
The award, which comes with a $1000 prize, will be presented to Payne in a ceremony on April 5.
In January, Payne told critic Andrew Alexander, who profiled Payne for our 20 People to Watch issue in January, "I'm taking 2014 as a year of reboot. Since my work started to garner some degree of attention, I haven't stopped working at any point and just made myself available to opportunities as they arise. I was really intrigued by the possibility of what would happen if I did that."
It looks like this might be Payne's year.
It's taken years, but Atlanta's food trucks may soon be allowed to sell their pizza slices, smoked barbecue pork, decadent cupcakes on the city's streets. And South Downtown would be the first to welcome the mobile food chariots in the not-so-distant future.
A new City Hall ordinance would launch a pilot program that permits food trucks operate on public property in select spots near what's considered "Government Walk" - the general area where local, state, and federal employees spend their days. If the trial run gains enough traction, it may pave the way for food trucks to set up shop throughout the entire city.
The proposal would let operators park their vehicles in designated spots - they'd still have to feed the meter, of course - at varying hours between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. (exact times would vary based on the uses of surrounding buildings).
For starters, 18 designated locations on several streets would be available to vendors on a first come, first serve basis each day. The trucks could occupy two back-to-back parking spaces on Central Avenue, Mitchell Street, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Trinity Avenue, and Pryor Street:
-Four metered parking spaces (two Food Trucks) on the west side of Central Avenue between Trinity Ave and Mitchell Street.
-Six metered parking spaces (three Food Trucks) on the south side of Mitchell Street between Central Avenue and Washington Street.
-Six metered parking spaces (three Food Trucks) on the north side of Mitchell Street between Central Avenue and Washington Street.
-Four metered parking spaces (two Food Trucks) on the south side of Mitchell Street between Pryor Street and Central Avenue.
-Four metered parking spaces (two Food Trucks) on the south side of Martin Luther King Jr[.] Drive between Washington Street and Central Avenue.
-Six metered parking spaces (three Food Trucks) on the west side of Pryor Street between Martin Luther King Jr[.] Drive and Mitchell Street. Food Trucks utilizing these spaces shall be subject to the posted rush hour parking restrictions.
-Four metered parking spaces (two Food Trucks) on the east side of Pryor Street between Mitchell Street and Trinity Avenue.
-Two metered parking spaces (one Food Truck) on the north side of Trinity Street between Central Avenue and Washington Street. Any Food Truck utilizing this space shall be subject to the posted rush hour parking restrictions.
The new law will likely make life easier for food truck vendors, says Greg Smith, president of the Atlanta Street Food Coalition. He says the ordinance is a "good place to start" as the city and coalition try to expand food truck access across the entire city. The streamlined permitting process eliminates much of the "time consuming and painful" elements that have long hindered food truck vendors. Operators will still have to pass Fulton County Department of Health and Wellness' health inspections, should the city's ordinance move forward.
"It was difficult to be a food truck vendor in Atlanta," Atlanta City Councilwoman Yolanda Adrean tells CL. "It's a wonderful business model that's very popular and gives people options. It gives restaurants a chance to test food to expand their models."
The food truck expansion ordinance, which requires vending to happen at least 200 feet away from brick-and-mortar restaurants, sailed through Council's Public Safety Committee earlier this week with a 6-1 vote. Councilman Kwanza Hall called the ordinance a "step in the right direction." Councilman Michael Julian Bond urged for the citywide expansion to happen "as quickly as possible."
On the other hand, Councilman C.T. Martin, who cast a vote against the measure, told CL after the meeting that he still had lingering questions and needed more time to understand how the process works. He expressed concerns about the preferential treatment food truck vendors might now be receiving compared to traditional street vendors near Five Points, Woodruff Park, and Turner Field.
"I didn't think that the [street] vendors were getting the same kind of respect that [food truck] vendors are getting," Martin says.
Council is expected to take up the matter on Monday during their full meeting. If passed, city officials says the pilot program could last between three and six months.

- Sorry for the headline: The third installment in Liam Neeson's action franchise will start filming here on April 24. Forest Whitaker joins the cast.
- Term Life filmed on Trinity Street S.W., Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard, and Northside Drive. Random Jon Favreau break!
- "Rectify," which usually films in Griffin, shot in the city this week.
- The Octavia Spencer-starrer "Red Band Society," a TV movie for Fox, also filmed around midtown. Fun fact! The project is being directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, who you should remember from every crazy angle on "American Horror Story."
- "Halt and Catch Fire" filmed on Conyers' North Main Street.
Magic City, there can be only one. The famed Atlanta strip club won a trademark infringement case against a business group in Chicago that attempted to co-opt Magic City's name and silhouette design in their advertising and signage.
Fuqua plans to begin construction on a mixed-use development that will be anchored by Sprouts Farmers Market. The new project is being erected at Piedmont Avenue and Cheshire Bridge Road. The developer believes that the 6-acre project along Piedmont Avenue could completely transform the corridor between Midtown and Buckhead.
If you're overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of gloom and doom at any point today, please remember U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia happens to be in town to speak at a constitutional symposium.
Hey, it's 3/14, Pi Day. It's a special day for Americans where we get together with our friends and loved ones and gorge ourselves on sugary baked goods and talk about math. So it's like most other days, but we talk about math for a few minutes.
It's your first weekend to see Molly Hatch's "Physic Garden," a "two-story tall, hand-painted 'plate painting'" comprised of 456 plates, commissioned by the High and installed in its Margaretta Taylor Lobby earlier this week. "Physic Garden" is the largest such work Hatch has ever produced - inspired by two 18th century Chelsea Factory plates from the Frances and Emory Cocke Collection of English Ceramics; the source plates "depict realistic flora and fauna" whose stylistic roots likely sprout from the Chelsea Physic Garden in London. "I am thrilled to work with such a talented contemporary artist as Molly and to have the outcome be such a dynamic and monumental acquisition for the High," says Sarah Schleuning, curator of decorative arts and design, in a release. Saturday is also the High's "Culture Shock" night, featuring live music and inspired by the photographer Abelardo Morell. More on that here.

Bellbrook Family Fights for Justice
BELLBROOK -- There is a fight for justice for three Bellbrook teens killed in a tragic crash last November.
We were the first to tell you about one victim's family taking the case to the Ohio Attorney General's Office.
But now, after meeting with Attorney General Mike DeWine, their plans have changed.
"I miss her tremendously, more than words can ever tell," said Lisa Sikorski.
A year later and the pain is still raw.
Her niece Julianna Hawk was the youngest of three girls killed, when the driver of the truck they were riding in, Jesse Whitaker, went off the road and hit a tree.
17-year-old Sophie Kerrigan and 16-year-old Sklyar Kooken also died in the crash.
Whitaker faces vehicular homicide and manslaughter charges in the juvenile court system.
"In order to kill three girls instantly and to speed and nine months in a juvie detention center just doesn't match the crime at all," Lisa said.
That's why Lisa went to the Ohio Attorney General's Office.
She says Sugarcreek Township Police should have tested Whitaker for drugs, especially after she says they found paraphernalia in the truck.
"They didn't do any field sobriety test, which right there would have changed the outcome of this case," said Sikorski.
An outcome that can't be changed now, but she hopes by bringing in the Attorney General it can be changed for the future.
"If he's aware of it then potentially some of the training for the police departments will get changed; any changes that he will make from that point on using this as an example will be a step in the right direction," said Sikorski.
Lisa plans to be at the police department Wednesday afternoon. We'll check in with her after to find out what happened.

Free Jeff Luers: A Message of Solidarity from Edinburgh, Scotland
Free Jeff Luers:
A Message of Solidarity from Edinburgh
12 June 2005 Action
On the night of June 12th in Edinburgh there was a benefit gig for Jeff Free Luers that ended with a confrontation in front of the American consulate.
Earlier in the day a short film was shown about Jeff "Free" Luers to a large audience, and as night continued a punk benefit gig began. The bands that played ranged from an inspiring set by local anarcho-punk legends "Oi Polloi" to a high-energy set from thrashmasters "Wardead". In between sets, various people from the audience stood up to speak about the importance of defending political prisoners and direct action. It was a great turn-out and lots of people were inspired to helpout defend political prisoners.
Later in the night, an impromptu band of people spontaneously gathered to spread the word on the streets of Edinburgh. The group marched with a large banner that read "Free Jeff Luers, Free the Land" and attracted attention from people on Edinburgh's main street. The march gathered more interested people and began marching to the American consulate. At the consulate a large American flag was lit of fire as a warning to the American government that they should free political prisoners like Jeff. As the burning flag was left on the front door of the consulate, the police eventually reacted and tried to arrest the group. While those that burnt the flag and most of the group escaped arrest, four people were captured by the police. They were held for the extraordinarily long time of thirty hours (by Scottish standards) and released.
Although Jeff "Free" Luers is an political prisoner from far away, all prisoners who are captured in defense of mother earth must be defended across the globe. This one flag burning should serve as a warning shot to the corrupt prisons of the USA. Our thoughts and hearts go out to Jeff.
Our passion for freedom is stronger than any prison.

freedom from other people's rules and dictates? freedom from the past and future?
Written Content G.A.M. cc
Hot Blue Jim
The Promised Land07/01/2013 I make my way closer to the life I want. And the too busy days and the nights full of all kinds of interesting things-- generate new energy and ideas. I work hard and think a lot about what freedom really means. Freedom is-- freedom from worry? freedom from other people's rules and dictates? freedom from the past and future? Freedom to choose. Ultimately, maybe there is only one choice to be made-- to try and connect with the picture all around you and the hand that is painting it, or to close your eyes. And as I pursue my own personal declaration of independence, there is something else on my mind: The desire to couple, to join together, to really love. It's proving stronger than even the drive to procreate. If he's out there, if he's really the right one and we find each other-- we could be free together.

Loading... Waking the Moon (original 1995; edition 1996)by Elizabeth Hand
Work detailsWaking the Moon by Elizabeth Hand (1995)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. An interesting premise with lots of potential, but outdated in its clunky writing style: a covered-wagonful of telling-not-showing and detracting details for the sake of hyperrealism. The mystical element was interesting but bordered on cheap cinematics. But this was okay for me basically up until the MC meets her two "amazing" and "wonderful" and "smart" and "beautiful" and "mysteeeeerious" friends in class, who give off a Twilight series-esque sense of too-perfect-to-be-real-ness. It was shortly after this point that I stopped, when I realized that I was probably not the intended audience for this tale. (D'ya like all the words and phrases I made up in this review?) The story begins with a group of college freshmen at Washington D.C.'s University of the Archangels and St. John the Divine where an ancient order called the Benandanti are headquartered. It immediately becomes evident that the mysterious Benandanti maintain a far-reaching control of most of society and that they are recruiting amongst the students. But when a member of the order finds a mysterious archaeological treasure and passes it onto a student, she unleashes the ancient moon goddess onto the world. The story is complex and spans over twenty years, but it never drags or becomes overwhelming. The writing style is reminiscent of Stephen King at times, delivering some pretty good scares while spinning a web of mystery that ensnares the reader completely. I found the book captivating, exciting, and engrossing. http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1956219.html This is a tremendous novel, ancient pagan mysteries linked with dubious academics and sinister conspiracies, all based around a fictional sinister Catholic university in Washington DC; not so very different from the plot elements of Dan Brown's novels, only much better written and much more interesting. Some brilliant scenes of simmering sexuality and emotional confusion; a satisfactory amount of drawing from genuine mythology, with extra lore invented by the author which plugs in rather neatly. I'm surprised that it is not better known, it feels like a taproot text for much of the recent wave of urban fantasies. Not badly done. Definitely heavily influenced by 1990s grad school feminism, but not fatally so. A college novel, and as usual with college novels of this type (see also The Secret History, the Rule of Four and many others), the college experience is romanticized beyond all recognition. But Hand's romanticization doesn't bury or distort (too much) the more pedestrian adolescent crises real people experience at college. Rather it heightens them and gives them a compelling context in which to play out. Mostly I really enjoyed the things that I suspect contributed to this winning the James Tiptree, Jr. Award. The goddess cult is more along the lines of Kali the Destroyer than Aphrodite. Key to the cults are sacrifices, usually of men. The book is not for the squeamish. The women are not bloodthirsty, but along stereotypical lines of Basic Instinct or Fatal Attraction. They are not just shrill, crazy harpies, but intelligent driven characters with purpose. The whole sense of impending collision between the Benandanti and the Moon Goddess is chilling. But there are some drawbacks too, mostly in writing style rather than thematic substance. The book is far too long at 497 pages, particularly given that I knew exactly where it was going early on. Hand includes lengthy descriptions of everything that happens. A fight with a bull takes two plus pages, when it could have been a couple of paragraphs. Full review: http://reading.kingrat.biz/reviews/waking-the-moon-elizabeth-hand no reviews | add a review
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (2)Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061054437, Mass Market Paperback)Steeped in the explosive passion and seductive power of Anne Rice, this novel is an unforgettable tale of modern love and ancient ritual. Within the imposing towers ofWashington, D.C.'s University of the Archangels and St. John the Divine, a clandestine order prevails. The Benandanti has secretly manipulated every government, every church, every institution in the world since antiquity. But now the Moon Goddess has returned. And she wants her world back.(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:25:45 -0400) Two women compete to be moon goddess and rule the world. The setting is the department of magic, witchcraft and religion at a Washington university. Its normal-looking faculty staff and students are in fact leading members of the world's dark powers.

First Appearance | Be-Knighted |
It is currently unknown what planet Dragons derive from. Due to them being 'dragons', the Forever Knights will stop at nothing to destroy this species.
Dragons have a lizard-like body with bat-like wings and a tail. They have a beak-like face. They also have dark green skin.Powers and Abilities
Dragons are capable of firing lasers from their mouth which look like fire. They are also shown to be quite strong and their skin is strong enough to withstand powerful attacks. Despite usually walking on all four legs, they are shown to be able to walk on two and they seem to prefer to use laser guns instead of their own lasers. They are also extremely long-lived, with 1,000 years being barely 10 years to them.
According to the dragon, he was gone from his home planet for a thousand years and his baby is probably flying by now. This might mean that baby dragons start to fly when they're at least a thousand years old.

It's Saturday, weekend again!
Yesterday I spent nearly the whole day playing with my journal. The paper in my daily scribble journal is not very good quality, and when I use wet paints or too much gesso, it goes through the paper. I was wise enough to leave 2 pages free before painting the pages from yesterday, and so I have *repaired* these pages to make them usable. I stuck an old ledger page over each spotty *backside*, and then took it from there. I had a pile of nice hand-made paper, which I tore into trips and added along with some torn book pages, some sacking, lace, TH tissue strips etc until the pages were covered. Then I added some photos, of 2 great aunts of my husband(taken about 1900) on the left side, and one of Erika and her brother, taken about 1920 on the right. I decided to leave the rest as it is, as I liked the collage without covering it up with too many photos.
And I made a tag, which was supposed to be autumn and lace, using the dress form from TH, leaves and lace. I got a bit carried away, and now you can hardly see the dress form or tag....Oh well, somethings do go wrong....And it does look like autumn, just not like anything else!
So, here's wishing you all a good day, and I'm sending huge hugs and sparkly vibes galore to Donna, who had a knee operation yesterday. Get well soon Donna, miss you! Take care you all, and thanks for visiting!
PS I just read on Donna's Blog, that she has been up all night taking pics of the people who go past her door and blogging them, Good for you, Donna!
19 comments:
haha! Had to do something to amuse myself Valerie! I really like what you are doing with this Journal and these pages are not exception. Using old family photographs is so effective and love the rest of the collage elements. Your autumn card is so as you say 'Autumn' and who cares is you can't see the dress form! Makes it more mysterious. Enjoy your day .. perhaps your weather will hold for a little while! hugs from Mexico, Donna

Activision Blizzard Inc. Stock Upgraded (ATVI)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq:ATVI) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income and attractive valuation levels. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 0.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 11.7%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- ATVI has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. To add to this, ATVI has a quick ratio of 2.29, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- ACTIVISION BLIZZARD INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, ACTIVISION BLIZZARD INC increased its bottom line by earning $0.92 versus $0.31 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.12 versus $0.92).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Software industry. The net income increased by 52.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $148.00 million to $226.00 million.

Between God and I
- Me: So God...I just wanted to ask you...why did you make me this way?
- God: What way, child?
- Me: You know...wrong. Gay...
- God: And who said that I made you this way?
- Me: Well..I didn't choose it.
- God: Who said it was wrong?
- Me: You're people.
- God: Who said they were My people?
- Me: *silence*
- God: So, what's the problem child?
- Me: Well...I heard that You can fix anything that's broken. You know, You're like the ultimate "handy man" so I was just wondering why didn't you fix me? When I prayed and prayed and prayed to be straight, why didn't you fix me?
- God: Not even the Ultimate Handy man can fix something that is not broken.

Removing slip case marks from back of iPad 1
Purchased an iPad4 on the Black Friday deal so I am going to sell my iPad1. I removed the Apple slip case and discovered the back has two markings from the case. One goes the length of the aluminum back where the closure flap lay. The other is an oval outline of the stand clip. These aren't scratches but the aluminum back is slightly darkened.
Anybody have any idea how to remove this "deposit"? Not willing to take any chance with an otherwise flawless iPad. TIA

Decided to try using a microfiber cloth and elbow grease. It cleaned up real nicely. Must have been real fine pieces of the case caught in the pores of the aluminum back. I had tried rubbing it off unsuccessfully in the past. Maybe the trick was using microfiber to adhere to microfiber.

A private dredging project desired by residents of Ibis Isle is moving closer to reality.
The Town Council on Tuesday voted to contribute $16,000 toward the bridge dredging project and to award a $24,324 contract to Coston Marine Services.
Ibis Isle residents complained to the town this spring that a Lake Worth Lagoon restoration project completed by the county more than a year ago exacerbated a build-up of muck below the bridge. The county planted a large triangle of mangroves and grasses in the waters on the north side of the bridge, on low-lying mounds that are not covered with water at low tide. Habitats for water-filtering oysters also were installed. Muck is visible on both sides of the bridge and water doesn't flow beneath it at times.
County officials said in April dredging was a separate issue from restoration.
A group of Ibis Isle residents raised $11,500 in 2010 for permitting and dredging, to improve water flow beneath the bridge. Of those funds, $2,000 was used to pay for permits. The town agreed to assist with the permit application process but staff time had been consumed by other projects, Town Manager Peter Elwell said in April. He and Public Works Director Paul Brazil said then that they would work to expedite the project. Area residents have since committed to providing $4,000 in additional funds for the project, Brazil said.
Elwell told the council Tuesday that the county declined to split the $16,000 needed to complete project funding. Councilman Richard Kleid called the county's decision not to contribute funds "appalling."
Daniel Bates, director of the county's Division of Environmental Enhancement and Restoration, said county funding would require an interlocal agreement and approval by the county commission. Those steps take time and might not be worth undertaking for the sake of $8,000, Bates said.
Additionally, the county's funding sources do not typically pay for maintenance projects such as this one, Bates said.
"We have contributed to this project already by working with the agencies and supporting the application for the permits. We have also moved the oysters out of the way so the project can continue," Bates said.
"We have also worked on the drawings necessary in order to get you the permits. When it comes down to funding a project like this it gets a lot more complicated than just using our staff time to assist you."
Before the vote, Mayor Gail Coniglio urged the council to provide the difference in funding needed to undertake the project. Coniglio joined Elwell, Councilman William Diamond and others for a tour of Ibis Isle on April 14. "It has become an intolerable situation," she said.
Diamond agreed. "Anyone who's seen this at low tide — not only is it revolting to look at, but I believe it breeds mosquitoes and it could be a health hazard," he said.

context, Find and Replace "window" in VS2012 (rc)
Anyone know how to either alter the behavior or get back the old find and replace?
When you execute a search in the new "Find and Replace" you can press F3 to cycle through the results (same as old behavior). However, you have to click ESC to put the active cursor location in your code. With the old setup (if you have the search window auto-close) the cursor is already in the code. Pressing down without pressing ESC requests the history of searches dropdown list to open.
Basically, I just want the old search window, it worked perfectly.

When Berkeley Law professor John Yoo is able to come to the defense of President Obama's secret legal justification for the assassination of American citizens, it's time for progressives to pack it up and find a new candidate. Mike Bloomberg? Cory Booker? There are a bunch of other political figures out there who will gladly champion some liberal ideals until it becomes politically expedient for them to sell out the left in exchange for the warm embrace of the military-industrial complex.
Progressives will need to find somebody else because this Obama guy is done as a progressive leader. Many of you have been following the story of Anwar al-Awlaki. He's the American-born radical cleric who was targeted and killed by a U.S. drone strike in Yemen. Many have questioned Obama's authority to assassinate an American without due process of the law.
Today's news is that President Obama did seek and receive legal justification for this strike from the Department of Justice. But you won't get to see it. That's because the DOJ issued Obama a secret memo that purportedly explains why Obama is allowed to kill Americans now….

Heifer is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I've been "using" them for years in the sense of buying…Read More gifts for friends and family--you can buy part or all of an animal (for as cheap as $20 to as much as you can afford) in honor of your friend and it means that someone who needs the animal for their survival is actually getting the animal. And then if I feel like my friend might want something tangible, I might buy them a candle (if I've gotten a hive of bees) or a dozen eggs (if I bought a chicken) or a nice piece of goat cheese (if I bought part of a goat). But it's truly amazing how many people they've helped around the world to be able to support themselves with the animals, and then they have to "pass along the gift"--when their animal has an offspring, it's formally and ceremoniously handed along to another person in the community, and on and on through the generations. Sweet, eh?

I'm pretty new, never officially done a log/product review. I'll give it a shot!
Awesome promo!!!! Very new to anabolicminds.com and the forum! I'm an avid poster on Bb.com and all their promos. This would be legit!!! I can think of a few reasons why you should pick ME!!!!!! I need something to help me hit PR's for my powerlifting meets this summer!!! I have 2 scheduled right now! I want something that will give me the focus and energy to throw the weights around!!!!
Awesome opportunity!!!!
Does it count as being new if I'm just new to this forum?!
1. Be a US citizen: Check!
2. Have not ran a log before: Check!
3. Keep a log of Prodigy, updating at least 3 times a week and commenting on how it is working for you, pumps you get, taste, etc: CHECK!
Hi, I have never run a log before but would really enjoy doing so! I feel I'd be great to log this because I am a regular user of PWO's and have developed a good ability to judge various effects they have on me such as energy, focus, endurance, overall feeling (aggressive, well being, nervous etc), PUMP, and TUT before lactic acid kicks my ass, and of course overall PR's and gains. I like to try various preworkouts and right now I alternate between Craze and Hyde. I am also a trainer and must be ready to have at least twice the energy of my clients to get them motivated at 7 in the morning so I use a PWO pretty much daily first thing in the morning. I'm always recommending various products to clients so I think it would also make a me a good candidate Cheers!
I'd be down to log this! I've been logging my cycle and pct but never done a product before. I've been updating daily so I can definitely keep that up. Consistent workouts, timing, diet, and all the variables are 99.9% in check for me so Id know exactly what I'm getting from this product and can judge accordingly.
Follow my spring cut: http://anabolicminds.com/forum/supplements/240215-epic-cutting-stack.html

I'm active duty coast guard. Ive been using supplements for 7 yrs. Everything from protein, PWO, fat burners, to PH cycles. I've never ran a log before. I train 5-6 days a week and keeping track of my food and workouts.
This is all me! Im not a newbie to working out, but I am pretty new to this forum. And I have never ran a log before. Im 5'6" 200lbs down from 230 and on my way to my goal of 180. Im getting there surely but slowly and I would love to log Prodigy. And it will hopefully gibe me a boost to reaching my goal!!
I think I would be great to log this product because I think it's kinda g** to even tell you why I should be allowed to log this. I'm straight to the point and don't embellish or lie about what I like and don't like, so my results would be the truth.
