A woman who stole more than $100,000 from her uncle's business while working as his bookkeeper was sentenced to two years in prison Tuesday.
Dottie Lee Wispinski, 33, wept in the prisoner's box as court heard about the hundreds of thefts that brought her uncle to the brink of financial ruin.
According to an agreed statement of facts, Wispinski used her position at Blowertech, a mechanical repair shop, to falsify financial records, write numerous cheques to herself and make hundreds of purchases on company credit and debit cards.
From January 2007 to March 2009, Wispinski stole "well over $100,000" Crown prosecutor Kerry Hart told court. Wispinski's crimes only stopped after financial irregularities were spotted by a replacement bookkeeper when Wispinski went on maternity leave in early 2009.
"When it comes to family, there's more trust than with strangers," Court of Queen's Bench Justice Vital Ouellette told Wispinski as he sentenced her. "You abused that. Now you have to pay the price."
Ouellette noted that Wispinski didn't use the stolen funds to feed any sort of addiction. She simply lived well beyond her means and used her uncle's company as her personal bank account to pay the bills.
"In your case," the judge told her, "it simply seems to be about greed."
While her uncle's business suffered, Wispinski wrote cheques to herself and used company funds to pay for expensive restaurant bills, Victoria's Secret purchases, rent, her cable bill, an unauthorized bonus at work, a $4,000 bill at a city spa, travel and personal credit card bills. After the new bookkeeper had arrived, but before Wispinski left on maternity leave, she wrote herself a cheque for $9,439, the largest fraudulent cheque of many.
Wispinski's uncle, Bruce Wispinski, never suspected his niece was stealing, court heard.
"He trusted her to be honest and forthright in how she handled his financial affairs," Hart said. "There has been no restitution. None."
Bruce Wispinski told court that he started Blowertech in 2001 with one employee. The business struggled in the poor economy and he hired his brother's daughter to handle the business finances.
By 2008, as the thefts were ongoing, the business was financially faltering and Bruce Wispinski couldn't figure out why. He constantly asked his accounts why his business wasn't profitable, but they failed to notice the thefts, he told court. He also had medical issues that consumed much of the finances he had left.
Through it all, Bruce Wispinski emotionally told court, he trusted that his niece was honest.
"She's my brother's daughter and I had great trust in her. She abused me to the maximum. I've been bled dry. I've given my business everything I have and it's been taken from me."
Dottie Wispinski, mother of five-year-old and 10-month-old boys, said nothing when given a chance to address the court. Her lawyer apologized to her uncle on her behalf.
Wispinski pleaded guilty to one count of fraud over $5,000.
In addition to her two-year prison sentence, she was also ordered to pay her uncle $100,000.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WECT) - Holding on to an unofficially razor thin margin of victory, the campaign manager for Congressman Mike McIntyre says the long-time representative will return to work in Washington D.C. this week as canvassing continues.
The latest numbers from the North Carolina Board of Elections show McIntyre with 420 more votes than Republican challenger David Rouzer in NC 7's congressional district. McIntyre has 167,386 votes (50.06%) to 166,966 votes for Rouzer (49.94%). Those numbers are expected to change as canvassing continues this week in several counties.
"Congressman McIntyre is returning to Washington this week for his congressional work and representation on behalf of the citizens of Eastern North Carolina. His commitment to the citizens and communities he represents is strong and solid. We have a large team in place all over the 7th District as county Boards of Elections continue to review the provisional and absentee ballots. We are confident our lead will continue and potentially grow --- and that our victory will stand," Lachlan McIntosh, Campaign Manager,
Rouzer has not conceded the race at this point. His campaign says it will let the canvassing play out in the various counties before deciding next steps.
McIntyre was first elected to represent the district in 1996. A win will mark his 9th term in Washington.

The classmates of two children, still missing after a devastating and mysterious fire last year, are hoping they'll eventually come home.
Chloie Leverette and Gage Daniel haven't been seen since September 2012 when a fire killed their grandparents and left their Bedford County home in ashes.
Five months have passed, and authorities still don't know where the children are. Now, the sixth annual Viking Voyage PTO fundraiser has taken on new meaning.
Every year, a group of students at Community Elementary School run around and around their gym to raise money for their school, but Wednesday they also ran for their two friends who are considered missing and might be dead.
More than 700 students ran 28,551 laps for a total of 1,428 miles.
"I mean, we've got kids missing that need to be found and brought home," said Leon McClaran, uncle of the missing children.
Investigators found the grandparents' remains in the home, yet there has been no trace of 9-year-old Chloie Leverette or her half-brother, 7-year-old Gage Daniel.
"At the night of the fire, I would have said those kids were in that fire, but because they're not found and no traces of them, I mean, it does raise flags," McClaran said.
McClaran donned a special "Remember Chloie and Gage" T-shirt of his own and watched as his son, a cousin of Gage and Chloie, made the rounds in the gym.
"All kids ask questions, and it's hard to explain to kids. But yeah, he wonders," McClaran said.
McClaran even joined in for a lap or two himself on a sort of bittersweet day meant to remember two kids who would be impossible to forget.
"We just hope that one day they do get to come home," McClaran said.
"It's hard to go through a day without something happening or us not thinking about them. Most of the time they are good thoughts, but then those thoughts turn to, 'I wonder where they are,'" said Tim Miller, principal at Community Elementary School.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said it has nothing new to report on the case. The autopsies for the children's grandparents have been completed, but the medical examiner said the results were inconclusive.

Support Jim Nelson
For many years, Jim Nelson has served as an esteemed minister at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fairfax (UUCF). His sermons are a source of inspiration, combining thoughtful questions with humor and reflection. Jim Nelson has offered his counsel and reassuring presence to church attendees, always striving to assist those in need. He has dedicated untold time and personal strength to benefit members of the community. Jim Nelson is a positive force in the UUCF community. Since he has been at the UUCF, the church has grown significantly and has a much younger face. We urge the UUCF board to proceed openly and democratically, with extreme care not to act in a way that would jeopardize the legal standing of the church, the rights of its members to be heard, or the right of Rev. Nelson and his family to due process. We must object to the surreptitious manner in which some 47 individuals in the congregation attempted to quietly effect a change in the ministerial leadership of the church, a change so basic, of such importance and with such far-reaching consequences that it must be a matter for the congregation at large to decide. We request a cooling-off period that provides sufficient time for open discussion, clear communication, and input from all in the church.

A baby born on Tuesday at Memorial Health is already making
plans for college.
Noelani Ogletree was born on Tuesday morning to parents
Ricky Ogletree and his fiancé Nikkay Torres. Noelani was recognized as the
first baby born on tax day.
Her parents were presented with a check for $1,529 from
Georgia's Path 2 College 529 Plan, a tax deferred college savings plan that was
started in 2002.
There are also several sweepstakes for all parents as a way
to bring awareness to the college saving plan and the need for parents to start
saving early.
"We have a newborn sweepstakes where any individual who had
a baby in 2014 can go to our website and enter that sweepstake and will stand a

Merthyr two 'may have been dead for some time'
An adult and child found dead at a property in Merthyr Tydfil 'may have been dead for some time', South Wales Police believe.
The two are understood to be 27-year-old Joanne Thomas and her four-month old daughter Harper, although no formal identification has yet taken place.
Their bodies were discovered at 4.20pm yesterday afternoon inside a property in Church Street, Troedyrhiw.
Police had entered the address after concerns were raised for their welfare.
Detective Superintendent Paul Hurley, of South Wales Police, also said there is 'no evidence to date' to suggest carbon monoxide was a factor in the deaths.
– Detective Superintendent Paul Hurley, South Wales Police
We are currently examining a number of lines of enquiry to establish the circumstances of these tragic deaths and I can confirm the current evidence to date does not suggest that carbon monoxide is a factor in this case.
We believe that Joanne and Harper may have been dead for some time. My appeal is for the community to try their best to recall anything that could be relevant from the past few weeks.
I would like to thank the local community of Troedyrhiw for their support and co-operation so far, and reassure them that we are doing everything we can to find out what happened. What I ask is that they come forward with any information regardless how insignificant it may seem.
Both deaths are currently being treated as unexplained, with officers awaiting the results of a post-mortem to determine the cause.
House-to-house enquiries are continuing in the area and forensic examinations at the scene are ongoing, while a police cordon remains in place outside the property.
Investigating officers are continuing their appeal for information, and an incident room has been set up at Cardiff Central Police Station.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room on 02920 527 303, South Wales Police's non-emergency 101 number or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The new version of "Cosmos," currently airing on Fox and several affiliated TV networks, is a beautifully produced introduction to the world of science, from the molecular level on Earth to the outer reaches of space. As such, it has what a few religious groups consider a controversial point of view: that some aspects of science are, at this point, undisputed.
The chief objections have come from creationist groups, which note that our culture hasn't reached a 100 percent consensus on the subject, and complain that their views aren't mentioned on the show at all. But they seem to misunderstand what "fairness" means in the context of a scientific program.

Northeastern track and field star Nate Hunter, a 2005 graduate of Gloucester High School, has been named the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Track and Field Athlete of the Year for his outstanding outdoor season. The conference office announced the honor yesterday.
Hunter earned All-America honors in the shot put during the outdoor season after finishing eighth at the NCAA Championship with a throw of 60-5. Previously at the CAA Championship, Hunter was named the meet's Most Outstanding Field Performer after winning conference titles in the shot put and discus for the third time.
He smashed the CAA record in the shot put by nearly five feet with a throw of 60-10.5. Hunter is undefeated in the shot put and discus at the CAA Championship.
Hunter also holds the New England championship in the shot put after a career-long throw of 61-8.25. He finished second at the prestigious IC4A Championship with a throw of 61-1.5.
Hunter completed the 2008-09 season with 13 wins in the shot put. During the indoor season, he won eight times, including the New England and IC4A titles. He then placed seventh at the NCAA Championship with a throw of 61-4.75 to become an All-American. He is only the fifth-ever Husky to throw the shot put 60 feet indoors, a feat he accomplished three times.
Hunter joined Carl Wallin (shot put, 1965) and Erik Nedeau (800 meter, 1992) as the only Northeastern men's track & field athletes to ever earn All-America honors both indoors and outdoors in the same event in the same calendar year. Boris Djerassi (1974, '75) and Vinny Tortorella (2003) both won All-America honors in both seasons, but in different events.
Material from a press release was used in this report.

Regents' Proceedings 611
Charles Howard Stocking, a native of Stockbridge, Michigan, and a graduate of this University with the degrees Ph.C. (1907), B.S. (1909), and M.S. (1925), has for the past thirty-two years been a valued and respected member of the faculty of the University of Michigan.
From 1947 to 1949 he was Acting Director of the College of Pharmacy, and from that time until 1951 Professor of Pharmacy and Dean of the College of Pharmacy. A man of ready sympathy and understanding, and with long experience in pharmaceutical manufacture and pharmaceutical education,
Dean Stocking enjoys a wide acquaintance and many friendships throughout the profession, especially among the graduates of our College of Pharmacy who have profited both by his instruction and by his counsel. His 1952 election to the presidency of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy in 1932-33 is evidence of the estimation in which his colleagues have held him in pharmaceutical education, and his many writings reflect his constant activity in this field.
As Dean Stocking has attained his seventieth birthday on August 27, 1952, and has therefore become eligible for retirement as of that date under the Bylaws of the University, the Regents of the University of Michigan hereby extend to him their sincere thanks for his long-continued, conscientious, and able service in the posts which he has occupied, and confer upon him the title Professor Emeritus of Pharmacy and Dean Emeritus of the College of Pharmacy, inviting him to avail himself of all the courtesies customarily extended to emeritus members of the faculty.

News: Steve Jobs' Cause Of Death Explained
Tuesday, Oct 11, 2011 12:15PM
Last week's passing of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has once again been examined as his death certificate has now been made public, explaining what caused his untimely demise.
According to the certificate, Jobs passed away after going into respiratory arrest.
Steven P. Jobs died at home in Palo Alto, Calif., of respiratory arrest caused by a pancreatic tumor at about 3 p.m. on Wednesday, according to his death certificate. The Santa Clara County Public Health Department in San Jose, Calif., issued the death certificate on Monday. Respiratory arrest was listed as the immediate cause of death, with "metastatic pancreas neuroendocrine tumor" listed as the underlying cause. Mr. Jobs died five years after the onset of the tumor, according to the certificate. No autopsy was performed. Mr. Jobs was buried at a nondenominational cemetery in Santa Clara County on Friday. (New York Times)
Additional reporting claims the innovator's health concerns started increasing around the mid-2000's.
Jobs, who had struggled with pancreatic cancer for several years and who resigned as CEO of Apple on August 24 to deal with his health issues, died five years after the onset of the pancreatic tumor. Doctors determined that he had a rare form of pancreatic cancer in 2003, and he underwent a liver transplant in 2009. (MTV)
Last week, Young Money's Lil Wayne released a 28-minute public service announcement reflecting on Jobs' impact on today's society.
"I don't know a person that hasn't been influenced in some sort of way by this man," Wayne said in his public service announcement. "We lost that man, and I think we lost him too soon, honestly a lot too soon 'cause I'm quite sure there's a bunch of people who don't know who I'm talking about. And that's when you've lost someone too soon, when there's people that don't know the greatness of someone -- I wonder if motherfu**ers really remember me for the innovator I am." (Derick G)
His passing made headlines worldwide late Wednesday (October 5) evening.
Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a years-long and highly public battle with cancer and other health issues. Jobs' death was announced by Apple in a statement late on Wednesday. The Apple.com homepage featured a black-and-white picture of him with the words "Steve Jobs, 1955-2011." A survivor of a rare form of pancreatic cancer, he was deemed the heart and soul of a company that rivals Exxon Mobil as the most valuable in America. (Reuters)

second generation iPhone made by Apple
The Eternity is a full touch screen phone that uses 3G high-speed technology made by Samsung. It includes a 3.0 megapixel camera, GPS, 200MB of built-in memory, and supports AT&T Mobile Music and AT&T Mobile TV.
Samsung continues its trend of imitating instead of innovating when it comes to cell phones. That's not necessarily a bad thing with the Eternity sold through AT&T.
The look and feel of the phone is very high quality. I will even venture to say that the quality is on par if not maybe a little better than that whatchamacallit device from the fruit company that Lt. Dan bought stock in and gave to Forrest Gump. The Eternity looks like a chrome sandwich with the business slice of bread being made of a high quality ebony black plastic and the back side being a contemporary raw cobalt feeling textured plastic. I've been using this phone for months now and it has held up very well despite sharing the same pocket that my keys go into.
The phone functions are very easy to get used to. The menu screen is very simple...so simple in fact that Samsung doesn't even bother to provide a user manual. Instead, it comes with an animated tutorial on a CD. You can add widgets to your wallpaper screen for easy access to commonly used features, but as of now, you cannot download new live apps like you can on the iPhone. Samsung is exploring this ability on feature models though and since new phones are launched every quarter, don't be surprised to see a real iPhone competitor before the end of the year. Samsung has always gone to Microsoft for their smart phones so we may be seeing a whole new Mac vs. PC battle in the cell phone world with Samsung leading the charge for PC.
Back to the Eternity...The main feature of the Eternity is it's touchscreen. Sometimes, it takes a couple of taps before the touch registers, but that may be due to the screen guard I installed so I'm hesitant to blame this one the phone itself. On certain applications like texting and picture viewing/taking, the phone can be rotated both horizontally or vertically. If texting and you rotate the phone horizontally, you have a full QWERTY keyboard pop-up which is very cool. The keyboard is easy to use and you can tab through quickly to find emoticons and symbols. It's so easy that it has converted to someone like me who absolutely hated texting to finding it somewhat bearable. There is also a feedback on the taps so you know when it's registering.
The other real plusses are the 3.0 megapixel camera, availability of mobile TV, and an actual headphone jack. The LCD does an excellent job of displaying mobile TV video. This is of course an extra service you have to buy through AT&T, but there is a demo channel that allows you to watch some random programming for free (not bad when you are really bored at the airport). The camera feature works very well. When taking pictures, it mimics your normal digital camera when you hold it horizontally. It can zoom, lighten and darken, adjust the lighting...the basic digicam stuff. The trigger button is on the top right corner just like your digicam. LG's Vu is very similar to the Eternity but the Eternity's camera has it beat. A little puzzling that there is no self portrait mirror though. The headphone jack is a great plus as most other Samsung phones require an adapter cable that plugs into the charging port.
Some of the cons I found are the touch feature (which I discussed earlier as possibly being contributed to the screen protector), the delay in adjusting from portrait to landscape when turning the phone horizontally sometimes, and the fact that I have to remove the back cover and pop out the battery in order to insert a microSD card. The first two are understandable issues, but the SD card thing is absolutely stupid and inexcusable. This phone functions very well as a digital camera and as a music player...so why make it a pain to get to the SD card? Almost every phone has a side port for the SD card. I consider this to be a gross oversight. My final quip is that I can't remove the preloaded AT&T wallpapers from the memory...at least not that I know of yet. These gripes are relatively minor in an otherwise good product.
You can't access Outlook e-mail, but you can access some web based e-mail like Yahoo and web chat like AIM. It also has pretty good internet accessing ability despite not being a Wi-Fi capable device. You just have to remember that this phone is mainly for play and not for work. With this in mind, you will probably want to spring for a data plan. The battery holds up pretty well when accessing the web too.
For the money, the Eternity is a good pic. I believe AT&T is offering a buy one get one free offer for the Eternity. Samsung knows this phone is not going to take away iPhone sales, but it does offer a nice alternative to those who don't care for or want to pay for all the iPhone features and still get a nice looking and easy to use touchscreen phone. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...in this case, I don't think Samsung is trying to flatter Apple...more like practicing before releasing a real iPhone competitor. The Eternity is more of a tracer round.

In one of the most exciting College Cup games in recent memory, Georgetown edged Maryland on penalties after 110 minutes of soccer and eight goals failed to settle the match. The Hoyas had leads at 3-1 and 4-2, but managed to give up two late goals to the Terps. Overtime produced no goals, and Georgetown keeper Tomas Gomez game up huge with two big saves to win the game on penalties after an incredible 4-4 match.
Maryland got on the board first through Schillo Tshuma, who touched in a header by Patrick Mullins in the 22nd minute. Steve Neumann, who is likely to play in MLS next season, fired Georgetown back into the match with two brilliant first half goals, scoring the first from close range and the second with a stellar 25-yard strike. When Georgetown headed into the break up 2-1, it was obvious that both teams where nowhere near done with scoring.
The second half started in absolutely disastrous fashion for the Terps, with Keith Cardona gifting a goal to Brandon Allen. He completely botched what should have been an easy clearance and put the ball off Allen's side. He could only watch as the ball rolled into the net.
Tshuma netted his second of the game in the 57th minute, assisted by Mullins yet again, but it only took Georgetown four minutes to reestablish their lead. Neumann completed his hat trick with a great 61st minute goal, and it looked at that point like Maryland were going to struggle to get back into the game.
Incredibly, the Terps played brilliantly in the next 20 minutes to equalize. Mullins finally got a goal of his own in the 74th minute, and Christiano Francois scored a spectacular equalizer in the 77th minute, stunning the Hoyas. The final 13 minutes of regulation were extremely open, with both sides generating chances, but neither managed to find a winner. The overtime period was less eventful, though Gomez had to make a couple of saves to guide Georgetown into a shootout.
Cardona made a save on Tommy Muller, Georgetown's second penalty taker, but guessed too early to get close to any of Georgetown's other penalty attempts. Both of Maryland's final two penalty takers missed as Gomez came up with massive saves on Taylor Kemp and Helge Leikvang, clinching a dramatic 4-3 win on penalties for Georgetown. For the first time ever, the Hoyas will play in the College Cup final.

hi all
i need to run the AT commands in PC both Linux and Windows
if anyone has some refrence plz share
Arun Gupta
Well searching the Wiki, the [url="http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=69"]General Discussions forum[/url] where there have been numerous discussions about AT commands, and the Internet is the first step. Does [url="http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/AT_Commands"]this article[/url] (along with its references at the bottom) help?
The article about AT commands was a verry good article.
I was able to send an SMS and able to place a phonecall [B]with[/B] sound.
Why do I say with sound?
I'm trying over a longer period to place a phonecall from an Excel list of phonenumbers just by clicking a button which contains a VBA macro.
My Question:
Is there a way to send these AT commands directly from Excel (VBA) to a Nokia (using PC-Suite).
Search for [b]VBA serial port excel[/b] with Google, and there will be solutions.
Hi wizard_hu_,
Google what's that? Bin there, Done that Blah blah
My question is about how to access the Nokia PC-Suit API using VBA
Not about all the stuff you get from Google mscomm32.ocx and all the other serial port access.
My thought: If the hyperterminal can access the Nokia modem there must be some way for VBA to access the modem to.
AT commands travel via a serial port, no PC Suite is involved there. Hyperterminal uses serial port too.
However yes, there are PC Suite API-s too, you can get them from [url]https://www.developer.nokia.com/Resources/Tools_and_downloads/Other/[/url] (two kind of Connectivity packages), and if they happen to contain some ActiveX libraries, it should be possible to use them from VBA code. But that will not be anything about AT commands.
HI wizard_hu,
ok, thx I will give it a trie.

I went on a NYE cruise with a large singles group (~200 people). A friend of mine sailed on the Breeze in April and loved it so I signed up.
Staff, though courteous, seemed sparse than in prior years (an obvious sign of Carnival's cut backs). Lido deck food selection seemed less than in prior years (the burrito bar was only open for 2 hours and no longer offered corn chips).
The ship was fully booked (with a number of families and their young children). all the pools and working spas were packed w/ people - especially unsupervised children. Kids took over both pools (I thought the back pool was "adults only") with no supervision by their parents. Kids ran wet and barefoot continuously inside the Lido food "market" (which led to treacherous floors - particularly for those individuals with canes and walkers). Not all the children were like this of course, but sadly there were enough parents that let their kids run loose (continually pressing all the elevator buttons inside the elevator cabs) on the ship while they went sunning and drinking elsewhere. I was surprised to see crew members not say a word when these kids where going amok. (Probably because they were so busy with all the tasks they had to do w/ no support).
We had the late dining which started at 8:30 and more often than not, we did not leave until 10:30 because of extremely slow service. A number of the crew did not understand any English (or Spanish); which led to wrong or missing orders. The food was mediocre at best (my friend said the food went down hill significantly since her April cruise). Food obviously sat under heat lamps to be dried out.
the comedy club for such a large ship was too small and was not cleared after each show, so a majority of the guest did not see a comedy show (and those that did were left standing all over the back, side and anywhere they could (very poor layout).
There also seemed to be fewer cabin stewards, with service being delayed because these poor folks had so much to do with less support.
Sadly, it is obvious that Carnival is cutting costs to make up for their prior blunders at both the guest and crews' expense.

Coupon or Shipping?
I love these little lights. I sell them in my business. The only thing I have to say about my purchase is that it was confusing when I went to check out because the window came up telling me to spend $3.40 more and I would have free shipping. I went back to shopping and ordered more product but when I checked out I was charged for shipping. I called your customer service office and found out that because I had put a coupon code in for 10% off so I had to pay for shipping. This was not mentioned in the cart or when I was paying. I would have rather had free shipping Please make this fact a little clearer on your site.
Thank You, Gloria Ayala

Tearsheet: Portraits In The Skateboard MagApril 12th, 2012
Bucky Lasek
The April issue of The Skateboard Mag ran a double page spread with 16 of my portraits in their editorial section called "Exposed." They even asked me to write a few words about this ongoing series that includes portraits of both pro and amateur skateboarders. It is short and to the point, but I forgot to mention the obvious. It is with a ridiculous amount of pleasure that I get to do this type of work! The 14 year old kid from Baltimore inside is extremely stoked to have these opportunities and to make new friends. This is not just "photography." It's part of my life. These images were photographed in San Jose, Santa Cruz, and Encinitas over the course of 6 different photo sessions. They are a small slice from what I have already shot, and I will try to share more when I can.
Ironically there has been some internal pressure building inside over these portraits. I feel like I owe it to everyone who has been photographed to turn this project into something worthwhile. A book? A gallery show? I am not sure. For now I just want to skate and keep shooting, then figure out what to do later. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Here is the full link to Roots, History & Concrete – a skateboarding portrait series including: Grant Brittain, Bob Burnquist, Steve Caballero, Eddie Elguera, Bennett Harada, Christian Hosoi, Daren Jenkins, Jason Jessee, Bucky Lasek, Keith Meek, Darren Navarrette, Pat Ngoho, Zach Miller, Duane Peters, Dave Swift, and Sergie Ventura.
Duane Peters
Words from The Skateboard Mag:
It's hard to photograph skaters when I'd rather be skating myself, so shooting portrait set ups instead of action has been my way around the problem. This series began with the idea to document skateboarding friends in Nor Cal, but the project unexpectedly evolved into a collection of something bigger. It's about roots, history, and concrete. Groms and legends. I'm stoked that everyone has been so willing to participate which I attribute to skateboarding's brotherhood and for the shared love of a grind. People appreciate the admiration that comes with spending even just a few minutes to be photographed. I just want that respect to come out in the photos, or at the very least show a glimpse of what each person's skating style is like through their portrait.
- Jay Watson
Three facts about these skaters:
1) Duane Peters would make an excellent boy scout leader.
2) The first time I saw Bucky Lasek skate was at a street skate contest at Patterson Park in Baltimore, MD roughly 25 years ago. He won first place. I was disqualified for jumping off the judges table.
3) The portrait of Dave Swift (in the gallery) is one of the last photos of him before he got his front tooth fixed.
A big thanks to Grant Brittain, Steve Potwin, Bucky Lasek, Judi Oyama, and Pineappleluv for the support.

Definite hit with the family. For an added treat I found Asiago Italian bread with dried tomatoes which added a little zip. We also enjoyed a tab of spicy brown mustard for a little zip.

A new study finds African American and Hispanic infants and toddlers are unrestrained at rates ten times that of white children. And among older children, the difference is two-fold.
It's an alarming find and shows that road safety advocates still struggle with the challenge of increasing child safety restraint use among minorities.
The reasons range from lack of education about the importance of car seats and seat belts to some parents not being able to afford to buy the proper car seats.
The study was done by researchers at the University of Michigan.

The biggest challenge of the two days of taping? "To watch where I step," he said.
Nearly every surface of the studio is covered in absorbent pet pads on day two, when the 63 puppies arrive, escorted by volunteers from more than 20 shelters and rescue societies from across the country.
Animal adoption is the Puppy Bowl's mission, and all dogs and cats on the show are available for adoption, though all but four will have found happy homes by the time of this story's publication. Some shelters have built relationships with the show and give their dogs football-inspired names. Ana Bustilloz, of the Los Angeles SPCA, brought Blitz, a terrier mix, whom she hoped would follow in the footsteps of Fumble, last year's Puppy Bowl MVP. "We're hoping for magic twice," she said, "but she's shy."
Before every animal goes on camera, he or she is given an examination by Nancy Ashley, the on-site veterinarian. They also sit for a portrait for Animal Planet's website. The presentation of each puppy is met with an "aww" in unison from everyone in the room. "This is Copper!" says a volunteer, carrying a dachshund. "Aww, Copper!" replies the entire room, as if on cue.
Then the dogs are carried down to the stadium set, where they get their turn according to size: Big dogs play with other big dogs, like pit bulls and Great Pyrenees, while the toy breeds, like Japanese Shins and chihuahuas, get their field time together to keep it fair.
When they are let loose with countless stimuli — a dozen toys in all shapes and sizes, new playmates all around and a small brigade of humans with shiny cameras and pockets full of treats, they don't even know where to begin. Copper licks a camera hidden in a toy. Mickey, a shepherd mix, jumps up to chew the wires on a jib camera. Other puppies try to wriggle through the portholes where the camera lenses poke through a plexiglass wall. Suddenly, Agatha scores a touchdown.

Ida likely will cause beach erosion
Date: November 9, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The anticipated landfall of Tropical Storm Ida may have shifted away from the west coast of Florida, but Longboat Key officials are warning that residents need to be prepared for weather conditions that will affect the island this afternoon.
Winds out of the east, southeast at 15 to 25 mph — and gusting to 31 mph — with the onset of thunderstorms, are expected to begin this afternoon, according to Susan Phillips, pubic information officer and town manager assistant.
Thunderstorms will increase in severity on Tuesday and will continue through Wednesday morning.
"When traveling please be aware of the potential for street flooding and flooding in low-lying areas," wrote Phillips in a press release issued on the town's Web site. "There is increased potential for rip currents so beachgoers are asked to exercise caution. Beach erosion is also anticipated."
Phillips asks residents to use Ida as a reminder that hurricane season is still in effect until the end of November.
"This serves as a reminder to our residents that the 2009 hurricane season is still not over," Phillips wrote. "Citizens are encouraged to ensure that their disaster plan is in place, have pre-determined evacuation locations, although evacuations are not anticipated for this particular storm event, and to have adequate disaster supplies on hand."
Current projections indicate that Ida will make landfall somewhere along the gulf coast between Alabama and the Florida Panhandle late Monday night. Ida is anticipated to encounter and merge with a cold front, as well as wind shear and cooler water temperatures, causing it to weaken significantly prior to landfall.
The Town's website, www.longboatkey.org contains links to the National Hurricane Center, the Sarasota County Emergency Operations Center and the Manatee County EOC. There are also links regarding how to strengthen your home against hurricane damage, and convenient disaster planning checklists.
Unless conditions change in anticipated impacts to Longboat Key, this will the last town update issued regarding Hurricane Ida.

It's two reports from the Spartanburg County Sheriffs Office that have parents and neighbors in the County concerned. People are firing shots in places that aren't safe and if it continues, it could pose a threat to others they tell 7 On Your Side.
The first report came in Monday. Reverend Manning Strickland of Legacy Outreach Church in Pauline showed 7 On Your Side bullet holes scattered through his sanctuary and outside near the storage shed.
Strickland said there no way no major damage and no one was injured.
He said at first he and some of the congregation thought it may be neighborhood kids fooling around but he said law enforcement officers said it could also be hunters sighting their rifles.
Friday afternoon, a Spartanburg County Sheriffs Office report showed a call for response from Carlisle Fosters Grove Elementary School in Chesnee.
The report explains that the principal of the school and some teachers were concerned about gun shots they heard nearby. The school was dismissing students and the shots didn't stop.
The report said the deputy rode around the neighborhood and found a man who was shooting a high powered weapon in an area away from the school, but not into a backstop. The man also said he did not know how far the bullet could travel.
The deputy said the man also wasn't aware students were being dismissed at the school. He stopped shooting and the deputy told the man what he needed to do to be safe with the weapon.
Parents who live across the street from the school weren't sure where the shots were coming from but were in shock that they same so close to the school.
"They were very powerful and I was just very frightened. I got up and looked out the door and didn't see anybody but it seemed like it was in my backyard," said Lillie Shaw.
A bus driver who lives right in front of the school heard the same shots as she was preparing to leave to get her bus and pick up students.
"I heard pop pop pop and my daughter looked at me and said what's that? I said I don't know I'm scared to go outside," said Frederica Humphries.
According to SC State Law it's illegal for a person to possess a firearm of any kind on any premises or property owned, operated, or controlled by a private or public school, college, university, technical college, other post-secondary institution, or in any publicly owned building, without the express permission of the authorities in charge of the premises or property.

It's quite nice, for the Record
Alan Taylor's Diary
"SCOTTISH Parliament Sensation†blazed the Daily Record last week over a photograph of the Holyrood debating chamber. The only sensation, however, was the Record's approval of it, given the manure the red top has chucked at the ill-fated project in the past. You could almost feel teeth being pulled as a sub-editor bashed out the headline: "OK, OK … IT'S QUITE NICE REALLY.â€
I gather that when George Reid, the Presiding Officer, saw it he took an even deeper drag on a fag than usual. "We couldn't have done better if we'd written it ourselves,†remarked one cream-licking member of the Holyrood team. The Record's parliamentary correspondent, Magnus Gardham, who has unparalleled knowledge of the architecture of Grimsby, declared that "the new Scottish Parliament building is set to outshine the other palace at Holyroodâ€. Hyperventilating like Howard Carter at the tomb of Tutankhamun, Mr Gardham drooled over "Saltire-shaped holesâ€, windows that have been made "like sunglasses†and "imposing concrete columnsâ€.
Heady stuff. But nothing compared with the editorial, which offered the opinion that when Holyrood is finished it will make "Her Maj†feel like a poor neighbour. "And so she should,†added the Record, before going on to compare the vast oak-beamed ceiling in the debating chamber to that in the Sistine Chapel. At which point one turned to The Herald, whose scribe, Tom Gordon, described this 21st century Sistine Chapel as "the world's biggest Ikea kitchenâ€. Could the truth lie somewhere in between the two?
