Jimmy Dimora is set for sentencing in July, but he also faces a second trial on even more charges in October.
A lot of people are asking what's the point, and as 19 Action News reporter Paul Orlousky discovered, it appears that trial may not happen after all.
Wednesday evening, Prosecutors asked the Justice Department to drop second case. CLICK HERE TO READ IT.
There have been hints all along that so called "Dimora 2" may not happen. Even the government has made references to that fact. A look back into the court record tells you a lot.
As early as November last year, a government filing says the government could forsee several reasons why Dimora may not be required to defend himself in Dimora 2. Prosecutors wrote "depending on the outcome of Dimora 1, defendant Dimora may decide to negotiate a resolution of Dimora 2" and "if the court was willing to hear evidence on Dimora 2 at the sentencing hearing in Dimora 1, the United States might take that into consideration in determining whether to proceed to trial against Dimora in Dimora 2."
Any number of attorney's that 19 Action News contacted about this say it makes little sense to try Dimora a second time. He already faces significant prison time. However from the standpoint of winning a conviction against co-defendant Michael Forlani, it makes a lot of sense. Forlani will suffer the same guilt by association that Michael Gabor did.
There is little doubt that Michael Gabor is tied to Jimmy Dimora in most people's minds. Because Dimora is in prison, the public won't see Michael Forlani walking into court every day with him. However, Jimmy's escapades, foul language and treatment of women will be on center stage. One defense attorney says it is a key reason why prosecutors would want Dimora tried again. He said it's not about Jimmy Dimora, it's about doing everything possible to convict Michael Forlani.

Saturday morning panther gym was set for a day filled with
"We have a total of
300 kids that will be participating in our opening ceremony," said Ruben
Esteves, Athletic Coordinator, City of Lufkin."
32 teams took the floor during the Lufkin Little Dribblers opening
ceremony, boys and girls from ages five to 14 geared up for six weeks of basketball.
Athletic Coordinator for the city Ruben Esteves says the program
continues to grow each year, last year there were 230 players this year they've
increased by 70.
"Our kids have
extended as far as age group and number of the amount of teams we have for the
city," said Esteves.
President of the league Charles Bennett said for coaches and
players practices and games are about more than just basketball.
"Sports are very important
in a kid's life and the faster they get into sports they learn discipline, they
learn leadership, they learn teamwork, they learn skills that will help them
later in life," said Bennett.
Throughout the history of the program many of the players
continue throughout their high school careers today varsity athletes gave these
young players a few words of encouragement.
"We bring in former
players , players on the varsity level that come up through our league so the
kids can see that with hard work they can also be on varsity and also succeed
in their goals," said Bennett.
And officials hope their example will help each player to
reach their full potential on and off the court.
Each team practices twice a week and play games on Saturday.
The season will end the first week of

Bank of America Sees Mortgage Claims Skyrocket (Update 1)
Bank of America mortgage story updated with additional details throughout.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC) saw a 73% rise in new mortgage-related claims in the second quarter as new claims from private investors rose to$8.6 billion from $4.9 billion in the first quarter.
Overall new mortgage claims were $8.21 billion, compared to $4.8 billion in each of the last two quarters and $3.8 billion in the second and third quarters of 2011.
Disputes over mortgage-related securities have been a severe drag on bank earnings for nearly two years, though Bank of America has been the hardest hit by far. Most of the trouble has come from its Countrywide Financial unit. Bank of America bought Countrywide in 2008.During a tense conference call Wednesday during which time Bank of America shares moved steadily lower despite a rising market, CFO Bruce Thompson appeared unsuccessful at allaying analyst concerns. Thompson said the increase was "primarily due to claims we received from trustees that we fully anticipated at time of the [Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (BK)] settlement a year ago and were largely reflected in the increase in reserves at that time." Thompson was referring to a proposed $8.5 billion settlement between Bank of America and several large institutions, including Goldman Sachs (GS),BlackRock (BLK) PIMCO and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, among others. The settlement has been opposed by several parties including the New York State attorney general. In addition to the rise in claims from private investors and institutions, disputes from government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Freddie Mac (FMCC)and Fannie Mae (FNMA) rose by $2.9 billion. Bank of America now has $22.7 billion in outstanding claims over mortgage-related disputes, up from $16.1 billion at the end of the first quarter. Citing the tougher tactics by the GSEs and still-unresolved private litigation, FBR Capital Markets analyst Paul Miller raised his mortgage-related loss estimates to $53 billion from $42 billion in a research note published June 22. Bank of America also reached a $375 million settlement with Syncora Holdings, a monoline bond insurer, which included an agreement by Bank of America to repurchase several mortgage securities. Bank of America CFO Thompson said the settlement, which was announced late Tuesday by Syncora, will reduce outstanding claims from monoline insurers by 20%. Analysts appeared to have a tough time drawing conclusions from the Syncora settlement about Bank of America's overall exposure to mortgage disputes. Oppenheimer analyst Chris Kotowski, for example, extrapolated from the $375 million number provided by Syncora in a press release and Thompson's 20% number that Bank of America had paid out 60 cents on the dollar on Syncora's claims. Thompson told Kotowski to "be careful" with his calculations, saying the settlement figure was "not anywhere near what you just quoted." He then attempted to explain why he took issue with Kotowski's calculation, after which point Kotowski said, "Not sure I understood that, but I'll follow up. Thank you." The exchange was just one of several between analysts and Thompson on the Bank of America call that related to mortgage repurchase concerns, suggesting that despite Bank of America's assurances, the issue is far from resolved. Bank of America shares, which were initially higher following the 7 a.m. earnings announcement, moved steadily lower during the call, which started at 8:30. The shares opened roughly flat at 9:30, and moved lower throughout the call. By the time the call concluded, shortly after 10 a.m., Bank of America shares were down roughly 1.45% The S&P 500, meanwhile, moved higher during the same time frame. Following the earnings release, Nomura Securities analyst Glenn Schorr maintained his "neutral" rating on Bank of America, arguing that Bank of America's low valuation means "shares can hang in there on these results, but the stock is likely range bound until better earnings power shows through and mortgage concerns fade." -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.

Kindergarden children look at a statue of a Korean boy responding to the call of nature at the Toilet Culture Park in Suwon. Photo: KIM HONG-JI
Rodin's Thinker is pondering even harder than usual as he sits astride a toilet at what has been dubbed the world's first theme park dedicated to the humble restroom - a monument to one South Korean man's vision.
The park, located about an hour outside of Seoul in the city of Suwon - otherwise known as the home of Samsung Electronics - centres around a toilet-shaped museum building that was once the home of Sim Jae-duck, founder and first president of the World Toilet Association.
Legend has it that Sim, a former Suwon mayor who made his fortune with a metal products business and was dubbed "Mr Toilet," was born in his impoverished grandmother's outhouse.

"He is a man whose life literally began in a toilet and ended at a commode-shaped house," said Lee Yeun-sook, manager of planning at the "Mr Toilet Sim Jae-duck Foundation".
Sim, who died in 2009 at the age of 70, shot to fame in South Korea when he provided loos for soccer fans when the country hosted the 2002 World Cup.
The organization he founded has as its mission spreading the benefits of hygienic toilets around the world, joining the like-minded World Toilet Organization based in Singapore.
The park, which is the only one of its type in the world, exhibits a variety of bowls from Korean traditional squat toilets to western bedpans. Photo: Reuters
Before Mr.Toilet's house was donated to Suwon city, visitors could book it for an overnight stay, but at the cost of $50,000 a night - the charge to raise money for a toilet building charity. There were no takers.
Other exhibits at the park include Korean traditional squat toilets, European bedpans, and Marcel Duchamp's sculpture "Fountain," a porcelain urinal.
Suwon has since dubbed itself the mecca of toilet culture and has pushed to get toilets recognised as a central part of everyday life. It has funded toilet building programmes in developing countries such as thePhilippines.
A tourist poses next to an installation shaped like Auguste Rodin's sculpture "The Thinker" on a toilet, at the Toilet Culture Park in Suwon. Photo: Reuters
At home, toilet conditions have rapidly improved as South Korean living standards shot from poverty to riches in a generation.
"For our generation, a toilet was a very dirty and smelly place where you never wanted to go," said Kim Gye-soon, a 52-year-old tourist at the theme park. "But now it is totally different."
Suwon will continue the life-work of one of its most famous sons by constructing a toilet culture center in 2014 near the current park, which has attracted about 40,000 visitors since it opened in July.
Like many of the best things in life, the toilet museum is free.
"Going to the restroom is as vital as eating. In a sense, nations and governments should work to make sure everyone has an equal access to toilets and feels happiness in there," said Lee.

It's not surprising that the partial federal shutdown earlier this month would affect the evaluation and funding of winning proposals for grants aimed at helping fishermen and fishing communities adapt to their future on the water and on the waterfront.
But it's a little hard to figure how a 16-day "shutdown" would push back the distribution of Saltonstall-Kennedy Act dollars to fishermen and local businesses by more than a month from the original target date, as NOAA officials are now saying.
Indeed, it would seem more appropriate if NOAA leaders, recognizing the dire straits fishermen and fishing communities are facing, opted to redouble and accelerate their efforts to go through the applications and parcel out the grants, rather than pushing the projected disbursement dates from late December to the end of January or early February, as noted in Wednesday's Page 1 story.
Yet that's the new timeframe outlined by NOAA, which has, through its catch share policies, questionable science methodology and tight new landing limits, gone a long way toward triggering the current fishing crisis in the first place.
There is good news regarding the pending Saltonstall-Kennedy grants, rooted in a 1954 congressional act that should have steered some 30 percent of all seafood tariff dollars into a fund for promoting and aiding the industry. NOAA spokeswoman Monica Allen indicated that the overall aid package — initially pegged at between $5 and $10 million — has been set at roughly $11 million under the NOAA budget for fiscal 2013, which just began federally on Oct. 1.
But lest we all start bowing to NOAA's generosity, remember that, according to the Saltonstall-Kennedy Act, the industry should be due more than $100 million under the 30 percent formula. Congress has wrongly allowed NOAA to take the industry's 30 percent and plug the money into its own operational budget for decades. So don't expect that extra $1 million to draw raucous cheers off the Jodrey State Fish Pier.

This Man Wants Your Children: Army Recruiter Chad Christenson
Army Appeal
At noon on a hot day in late August, Sergeant First Class Chad Christenson drives a 4,700-pound black Hummer H3 into the open breezeway of Winston Churchill High, a public secondary school of slightly more than 3,000 students in an upper-middle-class neighborhood of San Antonio, Texas. Wearing a pressed Army combat uniform and tan boots, Christenson, 34, one of the top Army recruiters in the country, steps confidently from the imposing vehicle into the Texas heat as a crowd of students swarms him.
"Hey, Sergeant, whatcha got for us today?" asks Sandy Nguyen, a thin 14-year-old Vietnamese-American girl dressed in a denim skirt, pink-laced sneakers, and a pink T-shirt imprinted with the word QUEEN.
"Free water bottles, but you'll have to earn one," says Christenson. Under the provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, public high school administrators are required to allow military recruiters access to students or risk losing federal funding. Although this policy has been met less than enthusiastically in some schools around the country, at Churchill, Christenson -- whose wife, Gina, is a former science teacher there -- is treated like a hero. During the past three years he has steadily cultivated what recruiters call "influencers" -- Churchill's parents, teachers, coaches, and counselors -- through a succession of goodwill gestures. Earlier in August, to welcome teachers back to school, he and the other recruiters in his office provided a barbecue lunch of brisket, beans, and potato salad in the school cafeteria, with Christenson himself serving the potato salad. Last year he paved the way for the Golden Knights -- the Army's world-renowned parachute team -- to drop from the sky at a Churchill football game. He also helped make it possible for Assistant Principal Christopher Throm, PhD, to skydive with the Golden Knights near Fort Bragg, North Carolina. "Our relationship with Chad and the other recruiters has been nothing but positive," says Dr. Throm. "Not a single parent has ever protested."
At the rear of the Hummer, Christenson tries, and fails, to install a White Zombie CD and a video war game called America's Army. Two lanky boys playfully push the sergeant out of the way. Within minutes White Zombie's heavy-metal music fills the breezeway and a small cluster of boys huddle over the blinking game, waging video war against terrorist insurgents from the safety of the open tailgate.
Solidly built with a round face, tawny brown eyes, and a standard-issue Army crew cut, Christenson appears to be a plain man, not the kind to attract attention. Yet his certainty of purpose, combined with an infectious charm, draws people to him, especially young adults. One of his recruiting colleagues, noting the natural way in which he relates to teens, describes Christenson "as a kid in a man's body."
"Anybody who gives me 30 good push-ups gets a bottle," Christenson shouts.
"I will! I will!" squeals Sandy. She drops in a jolt to the cement floor, feet on tiptoes, hands squared beneath her shoulders, back flat as an ironing board. "One, two, three..." Christenson bellows. "Don't quit, Sandy. A lot of people quit on us."
Sandy, one of 109 Churchill students enrolled in ROTC, is not one of them. A freshman, Sandy hopes to be an Army nurse, maybe even a physician. Today she effortlessly executes the 30 push-ups, jumps up, and claims her prize.
Not to be outdone by a girl, two boys follow her to the floor, then two more and two more after that. Suddenly it's a push-up party. Christenson now has so many volunteers that he organizes them, Army style, in linked groups of four.
"You have to work as a team," he tells them. "No one gets a water bottle unless you all stay linked." The crowd swells to more than 100, all listening to the clear, steady sound of Christenson's hypnotic count. Christenson gives away all of the 60 or so bottles he has on hand, but by then the students are so jazzed by the game that they do the push-ups without the promise of a prize.
After 30 minutes the bell rings and the party is abruptly over. The owner of the White Zombie CD hits eject and heads to class. The breezeway is silent and empty. "That was good," says Christenson, brown eyes shining. "We got a lot of kids to think positively about the Army today."

Does responsive design take longer time for page load?
Hi guys,
I'm just curious. As I considered to design a responsive web page to adjust accordingly with users' device screen I have to write at least 3 stylesheet, all of which are for each possible screen resolution.
My question is, does this increase load time for a normal web page.
I'm asking this because I don't know how to measure page load time and would like your opinion too.
Thanks in advance

Hi Ket,
No, you don't need to worry about increasing page load time with the use of @media queries, generally speaking.
One thing you do need to consider is making the site mobile friendly, which is a big part of the responsive design piece.
One of the most important things in making it mobile friendly is making it lean with a small download footprint - but that should always be the aim for any site.
I'm asking this because I don't know how to measure page load time and would like your opinion too.
YSlow is another great tool.
The YUI guides are the best resource on web performance, study those.

ORAU withdraws museum proposal
Oak Ridge Associated Universities has withdrawn its long-pending proposal to take over ownership of the American Museum of Science & Energy.
Under the proposal, which has been under review at Dept. of Energy headquarters and the Office of Management and Budget for the past couple of years, ORAU would have assumed ownership of the Oak Ridge museum (adjacent to ORAU's campus) and received $1.5 million a year for five years from DOE to facilitate the transition.
ORAU President Andy Page said he informed Paul Golan, DOE's interim manager in Oak Ridge, that ORAU was withdrawing from the tentative agreement that was submitted in July 2009.
"I think it's almost undeniable the landscape has changed dramatically in the past two years -- budget changes, political changes. The business assumptions we had two years ago have frankly moved on," Page said. "I think we certainly gave it our best shot."
At the time of the proposed agreement, ORAU figured it would have to invest about $6 million in corporate funds to get the museum operating up to ORAU's standards, he said. That would have included work on the heating and air-conditioning systems, a new roof and upgrades for the exhibits, he said.
Page said it's likely now that the required investment would probably be about $10 million and that would be too great a burden on other ORAU programs. If ORAU was acquiring new programs and budgets were growing as robustly as they were in 2009, then the cost growth could have been absorbed, he said. But now there's a lot of uncertainty, he said.
"It's just not as viable as it was two years ago," Page said.
The earlier proposal was worked out when Homer Fisher was acting president of ORAU and Gerald Boyd was DOE's Oak Ridge manager.
"They had a great vision about how AMSE could be renovated and updated so that it could become a regional science resource modeled about some of the great interactive science and education museums around the country while maintaining its historic connections to Oak Ridge and the Manhattan Project," Page said.
ORAU also wanted the museum to become an integral part of its science and education missions, an activity-based learning center for school groups, science camps and other programs, he said.
Currently, each of DOE's three main operating contractors in Oak Ridge (UT-Battelle, B&W Y-12, and Bechtel Jacobs) contributes $500,000 a year to the museum operating fund. Under the proposal, that would have continued for five years with ORAU taking over the museum.
The museum's future operation and its financial status have been a topic of discussion for years, with various plans floated on how to maintain the long-term viability of an important community asset. The impact of ORAU's decision is not clear, but Page indicated that ORAU remains interested.
"I think it's a great museum. It's a great place, a great facility," Page said. He said ORAU discussed the decision to withdraw its proposal with community and business leaders who've been supportive of the museum.
One of the drawbacks in the current situation is that AMSE can't receive grants like some other museums because it's owned by the federal government, he said.
"It's just going to take a strong sense of community engaged with DOE, and we're happy to be a part of that (effort) to make sure it does stay a viable part of the community," he said.

Wet and windy weather to continue over the weekend with little respite next week
Updated 10:06am Saturday 8th February 2014 in News
THE wet and windy weather is set to continued today and tomorrow.
AFTER heavy rainfall overnight there remains the likelyhood of some localised road flooding.
Winds will continue to strengthen throughout the day with gusts expected to reach 50mph to 60mph at times.
This is to be accompanied by heavy showers across the West Midlands with some occasional sleet and hail.
In the Welsh hills, showers will be more persistent with 20mm to 25mm of rain expected in the next 24 to 26 hours.
Sunday is expected to be another windy day with showers - although less than today - and the Monday looks set to be better with sunny spells.
However, a new system will arrive Monday night/ Tuesday morning and is likely to deliver another significant amount of rain in most areas, along with another spell of strong gusty winds.

Atlanta's second 10-game road trip of the year comes to a merciful end. They come home having lost six of the 10 games and two of three to the Diamondbacks.
The series started on a positive note. Justin Upton homered in his first game back in Arizona since being traded and combined with Chris Johnson for seven hits in a 10-1 Atlanta win. Mike Minor pitched into the seventh inning and earned his fifth win of the season.
The other two games were rife with scoring opportunities, but Atlanta's offense simply could not take advantage (sound familiar?). The team drew five walks against Patrick Corbin, but only managed four hits in total, and an infield double contributed to a tough loss for Julio Teheran.
In the finale of the series, Atlanta left 12 runners in scoring position, seven of them after the fifth inning when Arizona regained the lead from Atlanta following Freddie Freeman's tiebreaking double that same inning. Many of the outs would've been hits if not for a brick wall with legs standing at first base. Of course, I'm referring to Arizona's Paul Goldschmidt, who also had six hits in the series (4 doubles, 1 HR).
What was perhaps more concerning than the offensive output in the last two games was Tim Hudson's performance. For the second straight start, one bad inning did him in and he now sports a 5.12 ERA. We can only speculate about what's wrong, but I think he'll be fine.
As for seeing our old pal Martin Prado, he was 4-9 with a walk in the series.

AFC Bournemouth: Rantie keen to show his skills in FA Cup debut
7:35pm Monday 13th January 2014 in Sport By Ian Wadley
CHERRIES star Tokelo Rantie is determined to showcase his skills as he prepares for his first appearance in the FA Cup.
The South African international could be handed his debut in the famous competition when Cherries host Burton Albion in the third round tomorrow night (7.45pm).
Striker Rantie, 23, has netted one goal for Cherries, a powerful 25-yarder at Burnley, since moving to Dean Court from Malmo in a club record transfer deal.
Rantie has played in a number of knockout competitions, including the Europa League and Africa Cup of Nations, and he is relishing the chance to add another to the collection. He told the Daily Echo: "I have watched the FA Cup before because I have been following English football for quite some time now.
"I think it is a great opportunity for us. We know that if we do well in this competition that a lot of people will see what we are capable of doing.
"If we win, we get the opportunity to play against Liverpool and anyone would want that opportunity. We just have to do what we are capable of doing.
"The FA Cup has good stature and has been there for a long time and it is an opportunity for players to showcase their talent.
"I believe every single manager would love to give his players the opportunity in these kind of cup games and it will also help players, who are not getting enough game-time, to show what they are capable of doing in this type of competition. I think it is good for the whole team and the opportunity is there for everyone."

How to Make Wedding Petal Packets:
- Remove the pages from the book by carefully tearing them from the binding, as close to the edge seem as you can get. If the book is tightly bound, you may need to use a craft knife to prevent any tearing. Use the scissors to cut away any excess glue on the page edges that may remain
- Form the individual book pages into cone-shaped envelopes by hand rolling them into shape. The natural rectangular shape of a book page will cause an excess corner flap to form at the top of the cone. This will later serve as the closure to the packet
- Secure the cone by applying the Mod Podge glue to the seam of the cone. To create a more durable cone, you can then coat the entire cone with the decoupage glue. Allow the cone to dry completely
- At the front of the cone envelope opening, sew a button to the paper carefully with a needle and thread. It is very easy to tear paper, so practice caution and secure the button to the page with the addition of glue if necessary
- Create a hole in the flap which naturally extends from the top of the cone and feed a piece of colored yarn (cut approximately 4 inches in length) through the hole. The flap can then be folded down to cover the cone opening and the yarn can be wound around the button and tied to secure the closure
- Fill the cones with artificial rose petals in your wedding colors and secure the envelopes shut as described in step three. Stack the cones gently in a large basket where they will be easy for your guests to reach
How to Make Rose Petal Sachets:
- Plug in the hot glue gun and allow it to heat up; make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and always use caution when in use
- Lay the 10-inch tulle circle out on a flat work surface. To avoid getting glue on the surface, it is best to lay a piece of newspaper under the tulle
- When the glue gun is ready to use, attach about 14 pink rose petals to the outer edge of the tulle circle. It is better to add a drop of the hot glue to the bottom of the flower petals then attaching, rather than placing the glue directly on the tulle
- Next, add about 1/2 of a cup of the bath salts or fragrance beads to the center of the tulle circle
- Gather the tulle up to make a small sack and tie a piece of 1.5-inch sheer pink ribbon around the gathered tulle to hold it closed and secure
Decorating Idea for a Wedding Table:
Types of Tables
- There are many different types of tables at a wedding reception. You'll want to choose a table decorating idea that can be used across the head table, the guest tables and the buffet tables at the very least
- That doesn't mean that every table has to look exactly the same, though. Instead, choose an element of your wedding decoration idea that will tie the different tables together. The easiest way to make sure that all of your tables coordinate is to use the same color linens
Size of Table
- Be sure to consider the size of your wedding tables when choosing centerpieces and place settings. Keep the style simple and uncluttered on small tables. On larger tables, you can consider adding more and larger decorations
- If your reception tables are small and you'd like to add decorations to them, ask your caterer to pare the place settings down to the bare minimum. That will give you more space for adding prettily wrapped wedding favors or place card holders
Wedding Table Centerpieces
- The centerpieces that you choose for your wedding tables will be the most obvious decoration and should set the style for the rest of the decor. Simple, loose arrangements like a basket of wildflowers create a casual atmosphere. For a more formal wedding, choose floral arrangements with more structure
- Of course, you may choose not to have a floral centerpiece at all. One very pretty contemporary decorating idea for a wedding table is a grouping of votive candles on a mirror. Wrap each votive with a satin ribbon in the same color as the wedding linens for a very chic and very inexpensive wedding table decoration
The Wedding Head Table
- The head table at the wedding is a focal point for the entire room. Keep in mind that many of the photos taken during the day will feature the head table and that all eyes will be trained on it. Remember that when your guests look at the head table, they want to see the bride and groom. Keep the floral arrangements for the head table low so that they don't obscure the wedding party
- In many cases, the best decorating idea for the head table is a simple floral swag along the front edge and the bouquets of the bridal attendants placed on the table before their plates
Decorating Idea for Other Wedding Tables
- The dining tables aren't the only tables that require decorations at a wedding reception. Other tables that you may have to consider include the cake table, a gift table, the buffet tables and a table for the guest register or place cards. Traditionally, those tables are decorated with floral swags
- Buffet tables and gift tables may feature a floral arrangement at one or both ends. Those floral arrangements can have more height than the table centerpieces because no one has to see over them
Contemporary Wedding Table Decorating Ideas
- Traditionally, wedding tables are decorated with tablecloths, napkins and floral centerpieces, but there are a number of contemporary decorating ideas for wedding tables that you can adapt to your wedding
- Sprinkle glitter or rose petals across the wedding tables before setting them
- Intertwine miniature lights into garlands or floral swags to decorate the edges of the head table, gift tables or the cake table
- Use floating candles in bowls of water as a centerpiece
- Make your napkins part of the table decor by using intricate origami folds
Package Included:
- 12 x Packs of Rose Petals Table Decoration

After more than a year, two more people have
been arrested in Jackson County in connection to a theft from a local flea
market. Three people were arrested last year, but now authorities have caught
up with two more that had outstanding warrants.
Timothy Wilson Nail and Margie Louise Hainds
face nearly thirty counts of burglary, criminal mischief and theft charges.
Investigators said the pair was involved in the theft at Taco-Bet on Highway
40. Electronics, hand tools, ceramic figures and other items were stolen from
the flea market.
Nail and Hainds were also charged with the
theft of items at storage buildings on Highway 71 in Dutton. The thefts took
place in June 2012 and three people were initially arrested.
Bond was set at just over $50,000. Hainds has
made bond, while Nail remains in custody.

A Closer Look at the Toy Box
The Toy Box is something I'm really looking forward to but I've been curious to see how much space I'll actually gain. Now I'm not going to count how many spots I'll save but I thought it would be useful to see which ones I still have and which I'll need to acquire again.
At the moment, items need to be added manually although the ability to get our deleted items back remains unclear. I really hope we can, particularly with the archaeology ones since I don't really want to discover them again on an alt.

Just like with the Coaches' Poll, the SEC has a half dozen teams in the AP Poll.
Do you dream of bathing in an unending wave of college football goodness? Do you ever feel like you just see too much of your girlfriend, the sun or your Jack Russell, Bo? If so, do we have...
The top contenders from each side of the conference are the representatives.
ACC coaches want the Coaches' Poll to be an element of the College Football Playoff selection process. They're nuts, at best.
The final polls of the year are out.
The Wildcats are your new No. 1, and the Ducks finally work their way into line for the national championship game.
The Ducks finally have advanced out of the No. 4 hole as they attempt to climb up the rankings.
The Crimson Tide and Gators are the top two teams of the year's first official BCS rankings.
The AP Poll is often good at picking its preseason No. 1 team, but how good depends on your definition of "good".
The SEC leads all conferences with five teams in the top ten and seven teams overall in the 2012 college football preseason Coaches' Poll.
The BCS playoff selection method needs to be very different from the current BCS formula.

Marios Schwab has the right instincts about moving away from the neon-bright, body-conscious, early nineties vibe with which he and Christopher Kane ignited new interest in London last year. The challenge lies in gauging the speed at which to do it, and in successfully developing some fresh angles that feel true and sincereall while offering something sensible to sell in the bargain.
He opened his collection with a hexagonally pieced nip-waist jacket with a curve in the back that stood away from the body like a geodesic dome. Cutting hexagons and mathematically fitting them around the human form is a pastime Schwab devised last summer, and now he�s applying it to puffers. Cut into hourglass shapes and skating dresses, these carried a distinct air of Gaultier Junior, circa 1989. They were also the designer's personal response to the futuristic-sporty agenda that�s been in the air since last fall.
Schwab is too methodical about weaving in new strands of thought to leave it at that. He�s also working on a fresh approach to dresses. He should. The tight body-line ones, even with new iridescent metal plates worked into the bodice, are beginning to be yesterday�s news. More interesting were the soft asymmetries he wrapped into sport-fleece tops and scarf-lashed necklines (a reference to Romeo Gigli, perhaps?). Some of this read as a work in progress, but with the intense Schwab, it�s guaranteed he�ll have developed it into more sophisticated form next season.

A.Richard M. Gold, author
of How and Why to Build a Wine Cellar,
responds: A garage, unless it's
underground, is the worst place for a wine storage
room, because it experiences great temperature
swings. Wine storage requires a temperature of
55°F +/- 5°, with infrequent and
gradual temperature changes.
The best place for a wine storage room is in a
basement. If the home lacks a basement, the
homeowner can buy a self-contained storage chamber,
which has a built-in compressor and looks like a
piece of furniture. These are available from
International Wine Accessories in Dallas
(800/527-4072) and the Wine Enthusiast in
Pleasantville, N.Y. (800/356-8466).
If the home has a basement, the wine storage
room is best located at an outside corner,
preferably on the north side. The walls and ceiling
of the wine cellar should be heavily insulated. The
basement floor should be at least 6 feet below
grade and should be uninsulated, so that it can
serve as a heat sink into the deep-soil
temperature. If the climate is not too hot, a wine
cellar can be passive (without an air conditioner).
If mechanical cooling is needed, use an air
conditioner designed for wine cellars. (Air
conditioners designed for bedrooms will freeze
their coils at 55°F.) Wine should be stored
at 80% humidity, which can be provided by a plastic
bucket full of water with a wick towel hanging over
the side.
If the customer insists on devoting an
above-ground room to wine storage, it can be done.
The walls, ceiling, and floor should be very well
insulated, and an air conditioner or cooling unit
(the type used for walk-in coolers) should be

Title: A Solstice Tree for Jenny
Author: Karen I. Shragg.
Publisher: Prometheus Books
• Does not denigrate religion or holidays
• Explains perspective of humanism
• Shows how children can take responsibility for their lives
• Why not secularize Christmas instead?
• Depicts a secular child during religious holidays
• Geared to be read to 5-year-olds & read by kids up to 4th grade
• Explains perspective of humanism & nonbelief
Book Review
All of these pressures are especially hard for families with children because so much of the Christmas holiday season is aimed at kids. It is, after all, the children who are expected to ask Santa for a mountain of gifts. Not only is the consumerism aimed at them, but so many of the "family" traditions like belief in Santa Claus also have them specifically in mind. There was once a time when America was almost entirely Christian, and non-Christians were such a tiny minority that no one really bothered to take their perspective or feelings into consideration. In today's increasingly multicultural nation, however, that attitude is no longer valid.
There exist books about the various minority religious perspectives on the celebration of Christmas in America, but what about the perspectives of secular and non-believing families? How do they explain their obvious differences to their kids? For children, conformity to social expectations is often very important, and extreme differences from their peers can be difficult to bear.
For families who dissent from Christmas for religious reasons, that dissent can be justified by religious dogmas - a tool unavailable to atheists. One good way to help kids understand and cope with difficult situations is through books aimed at their reading level, and Karen I. Shragg's A Solstice Tree for Jenny addresses the problems of a secular family dealing with a Christmas-oriented culture.
By telling the story of a girl who feels "left out" from the religious celebrations of her friends, the author is able to explain why nonbelievers don't participate in religion generally, and the religious celebrations of Christmas specifically. Jenny, the main character, has parents come from two different religions; neither of them are believers any more and neither has decided that cultural reasons are enough to warrant continuing with any religious traditions.
Jenny never before minded that her family didn't participate in the same religious celebrations as everyone else, but this year is different and her solution is to create her own "Winter Solstice" holiday celebrations to honor her family's humanist beliefs and also create family traditions of togetherness and unity. Through this process, the author is able to explain in an easy-to-understand manner various humanist beliefs and attitudes towards society, family and morality.
The one problem, however, is that "Winter Solstice" is also a religious holiday, dating back to ancient pagan times. Jenny is not interested in including any of the actual pagan beliefs into her holiday, and instead re-works them to incorporate her family's beliefs. What is not clear is why it is necessary to use Winter Solstice to do this - if a religious holiday can become secular, why not do that with Christmas itself?
Re-working the solstice is a path followed by many atheists today, and some of the arguments used in support of it are that it is a "natural" event (being the shortest day of the year) or that it is such an old holiday that it has lost most of its cultural baggage. Those aren't very strong arguments, though, and too often it simply seems that the choice of Solstice has as much about a reaction against Christianity as it is a search for something new.
Another question the book doesn't address is why any particular celebration is needed at all. Jenny, like any child her age, doesn't want to feel left out of the fun her friends are having with their holidays. Although her desire is understandable, it is clear that her parents gotten by fine without such celebrations for a number of years, so it should have been natural for the topic to be discussed.
But these aren't major objections because it is not, after all, a philosophy book - it's a children's book. A bit of discussion on the above questions might have been nice, but the book does convey the humanist perspective in a clear manner. One of the book's most significant strengths is that nowhere does it attack or denigrate religious holidays or beliefs. Not only should this book be helpful for children in humanist families, but it should also provide food for thought for kids in religious families.

quick break from starcraft 2 to review this
A: loads of head, thins out quite quickly but retention is good. The beer itself is a hoegaarden/pineapple juice colour.
S: Big note of orange, then cloves (coriander). The orange is fresh and vibrant. Sulfur in the back
T: Spices/coriander, and then a bit of orange in the back.
M: Not amazed.
D: Another expensive beer, I guess it's drinkable in the sense that you could down quite a few but it's not really that enjoyable.

On tap at the brewery.
Pours a dull, pale, hazy golden colour with a pillowy white head of foam. Decent retention.
Smell is very strong, coriander is the big player here along with some orange peel and cumin.
Taste has a small fraction of the coriander that is in the nose, instead being very yeasty to the point where this rules out all other lighter flavours.
Mouthfeel is thin early, then finishes with a big yeasty kick that has this being more of a slow sipper than a refreshing summer wit.
Not delicate, the smell and flavours are definitely on the brutal side for the style. Not super sessionable either.

Cloudy pale straw pour, good sized head, good persistence.
Artificial lemon and wheat make up most of the aroma. Really lacking.
Flavours are similar with some unpleasant clinging wheat and more of the sweet lemon. Not impressed.
Too much carbonation, too watery.

This beer pours a cloudy orangy gold color with fluffy white head that fades away fairly quickly to leave a thin layer that laces the glass. Smells floral and fruity and yeasty, like a witbier should. The taste is a little thin, but citrusy. I think it's just that it's too fizzy to really taste that much of it. Overall, it's fairly drinkable, if a bit .. like soda.

This pours a hazy honey golden with a finger of fluffy white head. Some lacing.
Some spiciness (coriander) and citrus comes through on the palate. Touch of ester comes through.
For me the palate was dominated by an orange flavour. Some spiciness again. Nice.
High carbo.
A nice beer but not really sessionable.

330ml bottle poured into a Trappistes Rochefort goblet...
A- golden with a fair white head that dissipates into a thin layer of foam.
S- floral and a bit hoppy. does not put off much of an aroma.
T- a bit tangy with nice effervescence that lingers to the finish. Nice wheat with floral notes. Not much body, but nice on the taste buds. the finish has something that lingers well on the back of the tongue.
MF- really good mouth feel. Just the right amount of carbonation and a nice dry finish.
O- Pretty good example of a witbier for an Australian microbrew. I would have this beer again and would recommend giving it a try.

A; Pale yello, unfiltered with big sudsy soapy head. Well carbonated. great head retention & lacing.
S: Fruity...phenols / cloves...lemon, orange citrus.
T: definately the belguim feel, with cloves, & some banana...lemon...& a little too much sourness on the back sides of the tongue. If they could have done away with the sourness this would have scored more.
M: very carbonated, light, refreshing & summery
D: Quite good...easy to drink on hot days...very fruity & citrusy. Enjoyed (just a little wild & nowhere near as smooth as a true belgium wit)

Revisited this one recently out of curiosity. With the murky honeycomb colour it isn't the prettiest wit I've seen, but the rocky head that hung around for the whole drink made up for it. Not bad on the nose but like many Hoegaarden imitators it suffers from being a little too syrupy with the orange. Coriander comes through big time on the palate along with some prickliness from the fairly high carbonation and an alcohol kick. Decent weight and a tidy finish. Pretty decent.

330 ML poured into a SA Perfect Pint
A-- Cloudy pineapple color, almost opaque. Lots of small bubbles with this and a cotton ball white head. Got a good finger and a half of head and sticky lacking and nice sized bubbles in the head.
S-- Faint orange and pineapple in this, a little dry so a bit of honey in this as well. Not nearly as orange as other types in this. Smells tropical after it gets warm and banana does come out after warming
T-- Pineapple and orange in this but not as much orange as others. Has a bit of a sweet quality to this. Curacao and Coriander are very soft and almost hidden in this. Once it warms up lemon appears more.
M-- Finishes quite dry. Also finishes a little sour after it warms up a bit. Well carbonated and fairly lively to me. Does get a bit of a pucker from the lemon but would like a little less pucker in this and more honey.
D-- Not that great after it gets warm. Becomes too sour at that point. Cold it is pretty good. Like how it is more of a tropical version of a Wit. Good for a change of pace but not sessionable as it would get tiresome quickly and once warm this beer becomes too sour and too tropical. Worth trying and would be interested in trying on tap.

Dark yellow this pours a massive white head that persists for a very long time.
Ultra yeasty nose with some banana and citrus note in there as well. Smells like a fresh ferment.
Spicy palate that has a strong orange flavour. An after taste of seeds that I can only assume is a coriander flavour. Some more banana as well.
Creamy and well textured, it is just lacking a little bit of an edge.
Not a bad drop, but nothing overly special.

a) Pours a loose but thick white head, which ever so slowly drops away. Heavily hazed, with a colour of light yellow/amber
s) Strong citrus notes, slight yeasty funkiness, spicy seeds.
f) Quite a pronounced coriander seed spiciness, supported by a candy note
m) Fairly light-bodied, with some tingle on the tongue
d) Refreshing, good with Asian food

Cloudy, very cloudy, almost opaque, pale wheaty colour with modest white head, visible bubbles. Lacing is pretty good, clings lightly to the glass. Overall, pretty decent.
Nose is quite hoppy actually, with a tangy fruit character as well. Fair hit of pineapple and citrus, and a nice, slightly spicy herbal or phenolic hop hit, hint of white pepper and maybe coriander as well. Nice, refreshing smell.
Taste is tangy and tart, with a long and quite topographic palate with quite a lot of up and down in it. Fair amount of citrus and melon with a tangy kind of mid-to-back and a tart, slightly resiny hop on the back. It cleans it up slightly but there is a residual acidity lingering which lowers the drinkable factor. Quite nice though, with pleasant fruit, a light peppery spice and a slight warming alcohol maybe? Quite Belgian in style, with quite a chewy mouthfeel, slightly puckering as well.
Yeah, I quite like this.

2.88/5 rDev -18.2%
A: Meets all the key aspects of a wit in my book. Very light pale malt with haze from yeast and wheat. Good carbonation and head retention.
S: Lacking the phenolic and spice notes I like to see for this style.
T: Quite dry and seems a little over attenuated, which takes away some of the creaminess which can come from the wheat in these types of beers. No orange, coriander or hop flavours clearly present.
M: A bit puckering from the light body and dry mouthfeel. High carbonation levels also accentuate this.
D: This type of beer needs to be sessionable, I found this one a bit too dry for my pallet but I will try another few bottles and look for the freshest I can get my hands on. This stuff needs to be consumed as young as possible as wit beer never ages well.

3.23/5 rDev -8.2%
Pours very dark for a witbier - a dark golden colour, and very clear even with a pretty vigorous, sediment-stirring pour. Filmy head of fine white foam. Looks almost like a lager.
Candy characters in the nose. Light sherbet lemon, sweet, light and frothy. The citrus is there, with a little herbiness, it's not too bad, but smells a little artificial.
Light sweet fragrance on the palate, but very subdued. A bit of herbal bitterness later, but not a lot. Overall a little too similar to seltzer water. It does have some flashes of the true wit characters, but it's pretty weak overall. Mouthfeel is ok, reasonably smooth, and a suitable level of carbonation.
This is a drinkable enough beer. Not a great example of the style though.

Pours a cloudy pale straw with a massive head of medium finely stacked white bubbles. Nice. head fades (it has to) - little lace.
Aromas of yeast.
Taste is dry/sour, quite bitter, with citrus, sherbert and yeast notes dominating.
Mouthfeel good, quite carbonated. Starts to pucker after a while with dryness.
Overall, quite good, but up against some much better Wits in class.

Bottle: quality 330mL brown bottle, awesome 'old school' label... even the bottle cap is sweet.
Appearance: looks just like a wheat beer should - mid straw-amber with a couple of fingers of decent off-white fluffiness. The head drops away fairly quickly to a solid cap and sporadic lacing.
Aroma: pretty top notch - the citrus and wheat are definitely there - lemon, orange, spices and banana.
Taste: lovely, lovely subtle wheat and spice flavours. Lovely!
Aftertaste: drops away fairly quickly - just some sweet wheat and citrus remains.
Mouth feel: a fairly smooth, moderate body with a fine yet mouth-filling carbonation.
Overall: one of the better witbiers I have had to date - well-balanced with citrus, Belgian yeast, citrus and spices. Not too bad for AU$85 a case either.

Nearly but not quite. Looks good; big white fluffy head and slightly murky bright orange. Aromas are simple, a touch sweet but effctive with orange lollies and sherbet. Palate simplifies further with fizz and a confectionary orange / citrus note. Thickens slightly on the finish. Nice enough, super friendly, but hard to take seriously.

Hazy rather than cloudy .Overly effervescent with a small but dense and persistent white head
Definievly spicy , which was more cloves to me , but the blurb on the bottle suggests curacao and coriander . Could well be curacao.
The taste is soft and citrusy with a big hint of orange. The wheat malts and yeast are underpowering , which makes for a mild tempered flavour.
The over effervescece harms the mouthfeel which in all other respects is commendable.It is light and laid back
This is a perfect summer lunch ime beer

Sometimes — lots of times — I miss my sister. I realize I feel a little lost — about what I should be doing with my life in this very moment with the loss of a loved one complimented by an immense dedication to the very little smiling gifts that come in the form of an incredibly intelligent soon-to-be 7-year-old and a captivatingly cute 4 year-old. It's not the fact I lost her that is the hardest, it is oddly enough trying to explain to people what is going on without mentioning what has actually happened. A lot of judgement comes with things like this whether people realize it or not, and I can feel it. Because I am the most judgmental person and I can spot it in a quick second. I, even, maybe at the top of this list of judges. Perhaps even the hardest one to beat.
I constantly juggle having such a tragedy persisting in my mind with trying to find the best ways to emulate my own personal happiness to the world. How do I convince people that I refuse to be touched by such a tragedy? More importantly, how do I convince myself? How do I stay strong for the people I love and even people I don't know nor care about? How do I swallow fear? How do I do what makes me happy? Is there anything that really makes me happy? Is there anyone? These become more and more confusing with events like this. And here I stand. Strong and stubborn. Trying to figure the next steps in having it all while not having it all at the same time.
After all of this, I wonder who is the survivor. Me or my sister?
Snapped this backstage at Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti today #NYFW (see review on ErinJeen.com) Fashion shows are fun. Pound it.
Buter + Claypool Vintage Pop-up Boutique TODAY in D.C. at Cork Market.
Vintage clothes & wine? I'd say it's a pretty good Saturday (despite the gross weather).
We're watching you…
Coming home to my mother's closet always pulls me out of my college style shlump. Combat boots and boatneck sweatshirt tees can only take me so far…
Sick laptop case.
How do I order one of these without sounding boujie?

I was given a flyer for this event last night and it shows the tickets are $48.00 each, you note they are $40.00 each.

Aside from the price gouging, what about hose with allergies to shellfish? Where is there inclusive event? What about diversity and inclusiveness and where ar white bleeding hearts who come out in contrast to everything not including 100% of the unwashed masses?

This week's Colony Bank Student-Athlete of the Week has plenty on her plate without school.
But she's managing all of it with flying colors.
Deerfield-Windsor senior Anna Cowart likes to keep her planner filled.
Not only is she a member of the Lady Knights basketball team, she is also a champion barrel racer.
But the classroom may be where Cowart shines most.
According to girls head basketball coach Jeff Eubanks, Cowart has a good shot at being the class valedictorian.
She says it keeps her busy, but she enjoys every minute.
"It definitely keeps me busy," she laughs. "I take a hard load of classes at school, so to balance between homework at night and basketball practice and horse shows, it takes a toll. But it's worth it to get to experience everything."
Cowart will attend the University of Georgia where she plans to study animal science in hopes of becoming a veterinarian.

Same start as super sloper but go up and right to big pockets.
Find super sloper
crash pad
in the new joes guide book they combine snake mouth and super sloper as a v3 as they are a bit contrived b/c of eliminating holds.
Super sloper uses just the slopers, and one huge hueco at the top Snake Mouth just uses the pockets to the right of Super Sloper Same start though. the holds are easy to identify and the routes are not difficult to pick out at all. Again, super sloper uses the 2 giant chalked up slopers, Snake Mouth climbs only in the pockets
