Why do the Democrats continue to oppose school security? Our kids are no less important that the kids of politicians and celebrities. Democrats would rather focus on attacking the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens than to secure the schools and prevent another massacre.

Enjoy breakfast in style at this Times Square Restaurant. In the ambiance of low-level lighting, relax on upholstered, earth-tone couches over omelets and coffee, or tea, pastries and fruit.
Or for lunch, take a break from the bustle that is New York City, and dine on sumptuous salads full of organic leafy greens; fresh, made-to-order sandwiches and delicious soups; Asian or Italian inspired noodle dishes; or a variety of cuts of beef, poultry or seafood.
The Mezzanine also tantalizes the taste buds before or after your trip to the theatre with dishes such as penne alba chiara (penne pasta tossed with zucchini, asparagus and fresh tomato, mozzarella, olive oil and garlic), poulet limône (boneless breast of chicken sautéed with herbs, wine and lemon sauce and served with sautéed broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes), salmon agrodolce (salmon pan-seared with honey dijon then oven baked with goat cheese, spinach, carrots and scallions) and melt-in-your-mouth banana bread pudding, flavorful New York Cheese Cake with your choice of mango, vanilla, coconut, raspberry or caramel sauce or traditional tiramisu.
The Mezzanine Restaurant also presents a variety of tempting items (appetizers, entrees, desserts and coffee or tea) on their pre-fixe pre- or post-theatre menu so you can have dinner in New York and still see the latest Broadway play. This New York theatre district restaurant is open after the shows until 11:30 p.m.

And with its Times Square location, close to Broadway, The Paramount Bar is ideal for an after theatre drink or meal.
Known for displaying irreverence and wit, this fun New York hotel bar, The Paramount Bar, publicizes famous and not-so-famous sayings—such as "Selflessness is the highest achievement" and "moderation kills the spirit"—from famous and not-so-famous people on their chalkboard, graffiti-laden walls. And these surfaces, covered in poetry and witticisms, create an electrifying experience for all who enter The Paramount Bar.
The Paramount Bar is open from 6 p.m. until 2 a.m., 7 days a week.

Sail22 Melges 24 Chicago Tuning Regatta
Sail22 is excited to officially announce registration is now open for the Sail22 Melges 24 Chicago Tuning Regatta to be held August 6-8, 2010 and hosted by Chicago Corinthian Yacht Club in Montrose Harbor. We were asked by several Mid-West teams if we could put on a similar event to the Sail22 Melges 24 Worlds Tuning Regatta we held last October in Annapolis, Maryland and jumped at the chance. We had a blast putting on the regatta for the teams and had a lot of great feedback from the event. We plan to make the August event even better and are looking forward to having some great teams in attendance!
Check out the NOR and more detailed information for the event here or by clicking on the Chicago Tuning Regatta tab at the top of this page.
We are fortunate to have many returning sponsors of our event including West System, McLube, Quantum Sails, Weather Routing Inc. and Melges Performance Boats. We also are excited to have Zhik, Sailing World, Yacht Scoring, Cre843, Line Honors and Sailrite join our sponsor list to make the Sail22 Melges 24 Chicago Tuning Regatta an awesome event. Each week we'll be giving you an update on what our great sponsors will be doing for the regatta and we can't wait to share this with you since they have been incredibly generous and supportive.
Check out the photos from the event last October and read more about it here, here, here and here. We hope to see you in Chicago! Please feel free to email us at email@example.com, call us at 574-889-0022 or leave us a comment with any questions you may have. We'll answer you right away!
If you need a place to keep your boat before or after the event, we have plenty of storage at Sail22 Headquarters and have a brand new Sail22 Speed Barn for all of your boat work needs to boot!
Sail22 Speed Barn Exterior Completion
The Sail22 Speed Barn exterior was completed over the weekend when the garage doors were installed. The concrete pads for the exterior went in last Friday and look great. Gravel should go down in the next week or so when we have a few dry days in a row.
We are in the process of planning the interior and selecting our I-Beam and 2 ton hoist. We are also working on ordering an industrial air compressor (exciting huh?), figuring out the best lighting (we're planning to use LED) and electrical before the inside is insulated and finished out with a metal exterior.
Let us know if you need to work on your boat or have boat work done at the Sail22 Speed Barn!
Progress on the Sail22 Speed Shop
This morning the concrete trucks (yes, we needed more than one) arrived bright and early to pour our new concrete floor! Neither Ed, nor I had ever seen concrete poured and the process was pretty cool. Truck one arrived with a big team of guys.
They began pouring from one corner. The concrete has fiberglass fibers in it to give it structure, just like fill for epoxy. Looks pretty lumpy and bumpy as it comes out. The guys jumped right in and started to spread it around.
As the concrete is being pushed into all of the corners, the outer area is smoothed.
More concrete is added to another area of the floor and they also begin the air bubble removal and smoothing process with a machine that looks like a weed eater with a long blade attached to it.
That's when truck number two arrived and started to pour the second half of the floor.
Once it was all in to the shop and smoothed with the weed wacker smoothie thingy, they then smoothed it again with a special flat device and pulled it all the way across the floor from one side to the other.
And…now we wait…and keep Noisy inside since we don't need kitty prints in the new floor. He doesn't seem to mind too much and is curled up in his favorite hiding spot in our closet. We kicked him out last night to play, so hopefully he will want to sleep in the coolness of the house for the rest of the day.
The guys will keep working and will make the concrete "as smooth as glass" with another special machine and hand tools.
This afternoon, the guys will pull off the form molds and tomorrow we should be able to walk on it! It'll be seven to ten days before the floor can support the weight of a boat.
The metal siding arrived last Friday and the trim pieces it will start to go on today.

Doc Rivers passed on talking to Sterling, isn't sure how team will come out Tuesday night
Apr 28, 2014, 3:55 PM EDT
Doc Rivers really doesn't know.
Doesn't know how fans should react to this, although he hopes they support the players. He doesn't know what the league will do or how his players will react to that action. He doesn't know how they will play Tuesday night.
Listen to him and you believe him. And you can't blame him — this is uncharted territory. Clearly the racist statements allegedly made by Clippers owner Donald Sterling (Rivers said he had no doubt Sterling made them) have effected his team as they search for a way to deal with it. Rivers gave his players the day off on Monday, but most of them were at the practice facility. Rivers again stepped in front of the media again and answered questions as best he could (he's been great about that and trying to shield the players), but he really doesn't know the answers. Here are Rivers' comments, via tweets from ESPN's Arash Markazi, Yahoo Sports' Marc Spears, and Dan Woike of the Orange County Register.
On Donald Sterling reaching out to talk to him:
Doc passed on talking to Sterling: "Right now is not the time or the place so I took a pass."—
Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) April 28, 2014
On what the league will do:
"I think this is going to be handled the right way. I have a lot of faith in Adam and the league." – Doc Rivers—
Dan Woike (@DanWoikeSports) April 28, 2014
On the Clippers players:
Doc: "The last 48 hours are more have been really hard for our players and everyone. I really want to reiterate how disappointed I am…"—
Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) April 28, 2014
Doc uncertain what kind of mindset his players will have for Game 5 and he won't blame them one way or the other. "This is a tough one."—
Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) April 28, 2014
Doc: "We all have that feeling of what do you do, what is the right thing you do to the point of whether you play or not."—
Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) April 28, 2014
Doc: "My players didn't sign up for this. They didn't do anything wrong and they're in the middle of it."—
Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) April 28, 2014
On the Clippers fans and their reaction:
Doc on fans: "We want them to cheer for their players and their team because they will continue to be their players and their team."—
Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) April 28, 2014
Doc isn't sure if someone will address the crowd pregame. "We want to make the right decisions."—
Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) April 28, 2014
- readysethike - Apr 28, 2014 at 4:16 PM
I am totally in agreement with how the players may feel, but ultimately, the game is bigger then Donald Sterling and it always will be. I hope the Clippers players will think of what Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, and Jack Johnson went through and use that as inspiration to continue to play their best basketball.
- spthegr8 - Apr 28, 2014 at 4:44 PM
I don't think the Clippers are gonna win a championship but, this is the best team they have ever had. I wouldn't stop trying and let the owner's ignorance get in the way of what the TEAM is trying to do. He isn't worth it. Don't cheat yourself !!!
- 1972wasalongtimeago - Apr 28, 2014 at 4:26 PM
Let's just agree for a second that his "players didn't sign up for this". but Doc not only signed up for this, but he strong armed the Celtics (with whom he was signed for 3 years at $7mil per) into "trading" him to this specific hand-picked team and owner.
To say he didn't know that Sterling was a racist is total BS. If I know about it from 3K miles away and dont care at all about the Clippers, then Doc knew. His failing to admit he knew and that he didn't care until it was safe to care makes everything else Doc says completely disingenuous.
- edbrowndesign - Apr 28, 2014 at 6:41 PM
It's one thing to be perceived as a racist due to suspicious behavior it's another to be a confirmed bigot and to actually here the twisted views of said racist.
- 1972wasalongtimeago - Apr 28, 2014 at 7:11 PM
Perceived? The man had to pay the highest settlement in us history for racially profiling real estate deals. Everybody knows this. He's been sued more than once by employees for racial discrimination. Once again, EVERYBODY knows this. These ACTIONS were far worse than the words he said to his girlfriend on that tape
- jdk123 - Apr 28, 2014 at 4:48 PM
While many won't agree with what I'm about to say, I think everyone is coming down too hard on Donald Serling. Yes, his comments were out of line and borderline racists, but if you listen to the entire audio, what exactly did he say? He merely asked his girlfriend not too bring black people to the games. Very stupid thing to stay (especially for an NBA owner) but nothing that would be earth shattering 20-30 years ago. Which if you know Donald, that's his problem. His mindset is from a time, long, long ago. He's merely a confused, and ignorant man from a different time. His contributions in the community and business domain speak for themselves.
- calkinsrob - Apr 28, 2014 at 5:14 PM
you think his comments are BORDERLINE racist? cmon man. how could you think that. I hope he sells teh team for the sake of the players and fans. the organization, not just sterling, is losing a ton of money from endorsements leaving. I hope this doesnt break up the team and cancel any chances of the Clippers winning a title in the near future
- mackcarrington - Apr 28, 2014 at 7:30 PM
You must have selective hearing and reasoning.
She asks him does it matter if people are blue, or yellow or brown, etc. and he answers with "Yeah, it matters!"
- urodaddy07 - Apr 28, 2014 at 11:07 PM
You're spot on; we don't agree. My friend his contributions were merely a way to enrich himself. There is nothing borderline in his statements. The only thing that I can say in his favour is that before we make a judgement we need to to absolutely sure he is is guilty. Your statements reveal a lot more about you than about Sterling!
- eugenesaxe1 - Apr 28, 2014 at 4:52 PM
Sterling's reputation as a racist jackhole is well-established. I find it hard to believe these guys didn't know that when they signed to play for him.
- steelerfanforlife - Apr 28, 2014 at 5:54 PM
If I knew Sterling was a racist then everyone that plays on that team knew it too!! Chris Paul forced a trade to the Clippers, Doc forced a trade, Blake signed an extension there, Deandre signed an extension and on and on and on! So I just don't get the whole protest and Doc seeming so surprised. The mans a racist, you knew it, took his money and now this is where you draw the line?! Please!!!
- coltzfan166 - Apr 28, 2014 at 5:56 PM
Is anyone else already getting tired of seeing stories about Donald Sterling?
- ddmcd1974 - Apr 28, 2014 at 8:02 PM
What a baby Rivers is. He is the face here and he declines to get out his thoughts to the man everyone is ready to pounce on. Players can't practice or think because they were called hurtful names. Man I do not belong on this earth any longer. So corny and weak. I thought all these guys are so tough from being brought up in Compton or whatever rough and tough place they claim to be from.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
'Bill' could get down and throw with the best
There was a line in the memorial handout at Bill Norrie's funeral that alerted me to the fact we were all missing out on something very important about our former mayor. It read "Bill delighted in shaking the hand of every student who passed across the stage at convocation."
At first glance, a rather innocuous statement but it stirred the memories of one great experience I had with Bill Norrie.
It was the early 1980s and I was employed as the community development worker at the Indian and Metis Friendship Centre when this huge debate was launched over whether or not the city should fund a "non-profit housing corporation."
The Friendship Centre was in favour of such a move and we had none other than Mayor William Norrie on our side (I didn't know Bill but he was the mayor so this was a good thing).
There was formidable opposition led by Coun. Jim Ernst, who maintained that civic governments are responsible for services such as local road repairs, garbage collection, snow removal and such. Things like housing are the responsibility of more senior levels of government.
All that this neophyte, 20-something idealist knew was that we had to get a simple majority of the 30 Councillors to vote in favour of a motion which allowed the city to fund a non-profit housing corporation. My role was to make the pitch in favour at a city council meeting.
Behind the scenes, there was a real blood sport taking place. Norrie and Ernst were arm-twisting councillors one by one and it was a real street fight. Of course, I thought what I had to say to council was going to play a huge role in deliberations but, in the total scheme of things, my words added up to squat. What really counted was how effective Norrie or Ernst had been in lining up councillors.
I will never forget how it all went down. After I finished my presentation, the vote was held and it ended up tied at 15-15. I looked over at Mayor Norrie in a total mix of confusion and desperation and seeing this incredibly calm man, who somehow found the time and care and calm in the eye of the storm to provide me with a reassuring wink of his eye before he turned to council and said, "The vote is tied. Therefore, as mayor I am provided with an additional vote. I vote "Aye" and the motion is carried."
Bill banged his gavel and we had won!
Later in the evening, as we gathered in celebration, Bill Norrie pulled me aside and said, "Don, I want you to know that deep down in my heart and soul, I believe that we judge our society's greatness by the manner in which we treat the less fortunate among us."
At the time, I had no idea what Bill was talking about. I did not see my new buddy "Mayor Bill" as some graduate in philosophy, politics and economics, which he was as I learned much later.
Perhaps too often we honour leaders for what we think are the "loftiest ideals" while we forget what it takes to make real good things happen at the grassroots level.
Bill Norrie accomplished many things with high ideals and intellectual leadership. But he could get down and throw with the best of them.
Let us remember William "Bill" Norrie for that as well.

Endless Barking
... After work I wanted to go and get petrol so that I could figure out how much it cost to get from the west coast to the east coast.

Grantland Photo Quiz: Why Is Vin Diesel So Deliriously Happy?
Q: Why is Vin Diesel so happy?
A: Because he's now living life one soon-to-be-tourist-befouled slab of the Hollywood Walk of Fame at a time!
You've made him the luckiest former bouncer in the world, America. Please take a moment to celebrate this important milestone with him. No, your smile can't possibly be that dazzling, gleaming like a freshly waxed Dodge Challenger idling next to a backyard cookout with the greatest improvised family a wheelman turned reluctant superhero could ever ask for, but that doesn't mean you can't be happy for him. Look at that face and just try to have a bad day. It's impossible. He is beaming pure joy into your heart with the force of a sports car bursting forth from the nose cone of an exploding plane. Your day is made. Check him out:
[h/t Buzzfeed]
Bonus Unexpected Outburst of Unbridled Joy
This is a soccer match or something. True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard seems pretty excited about it. Not Walk of Fame excited — he's got his work cut out for him on that — but pretty excited nonetheless.

Park City, Utah,...
I've been wanting a pair of aztec shorts and found this fabric. I feel like I'm back to being 8 years old when I wear these. I used New Look 6100, shortened them and added bias tape to the pockets and around the hem.

How cute! I think I had a pair of shorts just like this when I was about 8 too. I really like the contrast at the pocket and hem.

The U.S. Ski Association says the previous best for U.S. women was a fourth-place finish in a January 2009 Olympic test event at Whistler Olympic Park.
Randall says in the team announcement that the relay medal topped her individual victory on Saturday as she won the freestyle sprint, her fourth career gold in World Cup sprint.
Bjornsen, a former women's champ at the Spokane Langlauf at Mount Spokane, says she now understands why skiers come back year after year.

The 71st Annual Golden Globe Award nominees were announce this morning. No big surprises here. Nominated for Best Animated Feature were Disney's Frozen, Illumination's Despicable Me 2, and Dreamworks The Croods. Studio Ghibli's The Wind Rises was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.
"Let It Go" from Frozen was nominated for Best Song.
However, this is the first time in Globe history that a Pixar film was excluded from the running. Pixar's Monsters University went missing from the list. Sony, Blue Sky and Gkids were also excluded from the nominations today as only three nominees made the cut (Globe rules only permitted three qualified nominees this year) .
The Hollywood Foreign Press have given an award for Best Animated Feature Film ever since 2007. Pixar has won every year except in 2011, when Spielberg's The Adventures Of Tintin took the prize - leaving Cars 2 (and Arthur Christmas, Puss In Boots and Rango) in the dust.
"Animated films are the most detailed, complex sorts of films you can possibly make - so we don't take that task lightly. 'The Croods' had a message we felt was worthy of that scale of effort, and anyone who has seen it has come away changed. We are immensely proud of it, and of the artists who devoted themselves to it. We, and they, thank the HFPA from the bottom of their very strong hearts."

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
2 US high school football players convicted of raping drunken girl
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio - Two members of a celebrated local high school football team were found guilty Sunday of raping a drunken 16-year-old girl, and Ohio's attorney general warned the case isn't over, saying he is investigating whether coaches, parents and other students broke the law, too.
Trent Mays, 17, and Ma'Lik Richmond, 16, were sentenced to at least a year in juvenile prison in a case that has rocked this Midwestern U.S. city of 18,000 and led to allegations of a coverup to protect the Steubenville High team, which has won nine state football championships. Mays was ordered to serve an additional year for photographing the underage girl naked.
They can be held until they turn 21.
The two broke down in tears after a Juvenile Court judge delivered his verdict. They later apologized to the victim and the community and Richmond struggled to speak through his sobs.
"My life is over," he said as he collapsed in the arms of his lawyer.
The crime, which took place after a party last summer, shocked many in Steubenville because of the seeming callousness with which other students took out their cellphones to record the attack and gossiped about it online. In fact, the case came to light via a barrage of morning-after text messages, social media posts and online photos and video.
"Many of the things we learned during this trial that our children were saying and doing were profane, were ugly," Judge Thomas Lipps said.
Immediately after the verdict, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said he will convene a grand jury next month to investigate whether anyone else should be charged. Noting that 16 people refused to talk, many of them underage, DeWine said possible offences to be investigated include failure to report a crime.
"This community desperately needs to have this behind them, but this community also desperately needs to know justice was done and that no stone was left unturned," he said.
Among those who have been interviewed are the owners of one of the houses where parties were held that night, the high school principal, and the football team's 27 coaches, many of them volunteers.
Text messages introduced at the trial suggested the head coach was aware of the rape allegation early on. DeWine said coaches are among officials required by state law to report child abuse. The coach and the school district have repeatedly declined to comment.
Mays and Richmond were charged with penetrating the West Virginia girl with their fingers, first in the back seat of a moving car after a mostly underage drinking party on Aug. 11, and then in the basement of a house.
"They treated her like a toy," prosecutor Marianne Hemmeter said.
Prosecutors argued that the victim was so intoxicated she couldn't consent to sex that night, while the defence contended the girl realized what she was doing and was known to lie.
The girl testified she could not recall what happened but woke up naked in a strange house after drinking at a party.
"It was really scary," she said. "I honestly did not know what to think because I could not remember anything."
She said she believed she was assaulted when she later read text messages among friends and saw a photo of herself naked, along with a video that made fun of her and the alleged attack.
Three other boys, two of them on the football team, saw something happening that night and didn't try to stop it but instead recorded it with their cellphones. Granted immunity to testify, they confirmed the girl was assaulted and said she was so drunk she didn't seem to know what was happening.
Evidence at the trial also included sexually explicit text messages sent by numerous students after the party. Lawyers noted how texts have seemed to replace talking on the phone for young people. A computer forensic expert documented hundreds of thousands of texts found on 17 phones seized during the investigation.
In sentencing the boys, Lipps urged parents and others "to have discussions about how you talk to your friends, how you record things on the social media so prevalent today and how you conduct yourself when drinking is put upon you by your friends."
After the arrests, the case was furiously debated on blogs and social media, with some people warning of conspiracies and conflicts of interest. On Sunday, Hemmeter, the prosecutor, criticized efforts by the hacker collective Anonymous to publicize the case, saying the attention had a chilling effect on those willing to testify.
After the verdict, the accuser's mother rebuked the boys for "lack of any moral code."
"You were your own accuser, through the social media that you chose to publish your criminal conduct on," she said. She added that the case "does not define who my daughter is. She will persevere, grow and move on."
Echoing that, the judge said that "as bad as things have been for all of the children involved in this case, they can all change their lives for the better."

New Haven — Brianna Lenehan won a pair of events, setting a meet record in the 1,000-meter run, as Norwich Free Academy won CIAC Class LL girls' indoor track and field championship Saturday at the Floyd Little Athletic Center.
It was the first indoor state title in program history for the Wildcats, who finished with 83.5 points to easily defeat runnerup Staples (58).
Lenehan won the 1,000 in 2 minutes, 54.49 seconds, breaking the old record of 2:54.71 set by Glastonbury's Lindsay Crevoiserat in 2010. She also captured the 1,600 in 5:01.85.
NFA captured three other events. Dyshelle Pemberton won the 300 (41.46 seconds), Katherine Gabriele won the pole vault (10 feet, 3 inches) and Camille McKenzie, Charlotte Van Sambeck, MiaLynne Park and Pemberton teamed up to win the 4x400 relay in 4:06.87.
Pemberton also added a second in the 600 (1:37.22).
In the boys' meet, NFA finished third with 46 points (Staples won the 78 and Danbury was second with 76) and three champions: Martin Lewerk in the long jump (21 feet, one-half inch), Chris Byars in the shot put (47-9) and the 1,600 sprint medley relay team of Lewerk, Joseph Trahan, Kobe Amos and Kyle Liang (3:40.14). Lewerk added a second in the 55 dash (6.62).

David Woods says he took a trip that happened to pass by the location of his wife Dorothy Woods's body because someone left a note on his windshield telling him to.
"I don't have the note, so I can't remember everything on it," he testified Monday in Saskatoon Court of Queen's Bench, where he's on trial for the first-degree murder of Dorothy Woods.
"It was giving me directions to take a drive out Highway 11, with some information about Dorothy."
That trip is one of the key points in the Crown's case against 51-yearold David Neil Woods. The Crown's theory is that he made the trip after hearing news about police finding a body outside the city. David Woods's testimony appears to suggest someone else set him up.
Dorothy Ann Woods, 45, was last seen alive on Nov. 11, 2011. Her husband quickly became a suspect and police put GPS tracking devices on his two vehicles. On Jan. 2, 2012, David Woods made a trip to Blackstrap Lake; two days later, police searched the area and found his wife's body. She had been strangled to death.
The Crown spent two weeks calling evidence at the trial. On Monday afternoon, David Woods took the stand in his own defence and testified for just over an hour. The Crown will begin its cross-examination this morning.
Relationship changes
Woods said his relationship with his wife changed in the first half of 2011 when they agreed to stay together for the kids, but they "could see other people." They agreed not to flaunt it or tell anyone, including their kids, he said.
By August 2011, however, Dorothy seemed different, going out more and drinking more, he told court. In October, he found a condom wrapper in their truck and confronted her about it because he was concerned their kids would see it, he said.
He admitted texting Wayne Lewis, a man Dorothy had two sexual encounters with, after that. Those texts were shown to the jury last week.
But he denied possessing Dorothy's phone and sending racist text messages after her death.
"I was mad at Dorothy, for having it out in the open, I guess," he said.
He was seeing other women, but they weren't relationships, Woods told court.
"They were prostitutes," he said. Most of the last days of their lives together was just "day to day stuff," he said when asked about the week leading up to Nov. 9.
'Not going to work'
On the night of Nov. 10, 2011, Woods said he got "fed up" when Dorothy went out and didn't come home. His daughter asked him what was going on and he told her, he testified.
"I kind of filled her in on what was going on ... I don't think I so much said it was over, but I said, 'Things aren't looking too good. Your mom's out seeing other guys. It's not going to work out too good.' "
Woods said he was booked to work an overtime shift on the Remembrance Day statutory holiday, but stayed home. When Dorothy came home around 8 a.m. they had an argument, he told court.
"I was upset, gave her hell for staying out and me missing the shift," he said. "I was out a lot of money."
On Nov. 11, 2011, he hung out with his kids, he said. Dorothy went out in the evening and returned around 10:30 p.m. to watch movies. The next morning, she was gone, he testified.
On Nov. 12, 2011, Woods said he took his 15-year-old daughter to the roller derby and then he and his 11-year-old son went shopping at the Co-op hardware store where he bought "a few things": plastic poly, rope, a hacksaw and a snow brush.
He said he needed the poly "for things at home" like the pool skimmer, and rope for the tarp over the above-ground pool in the backyard. He was going to use the rope to make the tarp tighter, but "never got around to it," he said.
The next days
Woods started phoning people on Nov. 13 to let them know not to bring their kids to Dorothy's daycare on Monday morning (the 14th). He said he didn't make a missing persons report because he thought she had just taken off.
When police came knocking on the night of Nov. 16, Woods let them in to look around the house to check on Dorothy's welfare. He also headed down to the police station as requested on Nov. 17 for an interview. When defence lawyer Michael Nolin asked him if he said anything "inaccurate" to police, Woods said he lied about what had happened to Dorothy's makeup bag. He initially told police Dorothy took her makeup bag with her when she took off, but on the stand he testified he actually threw it away when he got mad about all her stuff in the truck after she disappeared.
Police found the makeup bag in a garbage bin in the backyard.
Nolin asked Woods a series of key questions at the end of his testimony. Did he have anything to do with the death of Dorothy Woods? "No, I did not," he replied.
Did he have anything to do with her disappearance? "No, I did not," he said.
Last Crown witness
The final witness for the Crown on Monday was Robin Abel, an RCMP expert in tapes and adhesives. He testified that a piece of tape found with Dorothy Woods's body is "indistinguishable" from a roll of tape found by police in the Woods family's garage.
When police found Dorothy Woods's body, it was wrapped in plastic poly, secured by various pieces of green and blue electrical tape.
When police searched the Woods home on Jan. 6, they found a roll of green electrical tape in the garage. One of the pieces found with the body looked like it was the last piece ripped from the roll, and that's what Abel determined was the case.
In fact, "the chances of finding another piece of tape anywhere in the world (torn the same way and with the same characteristics) is beyond reasonable possibility," Abel testified. He acknowledged he had no way of knowing when the tape was torn from the roll or who did the tearing.

Fatal fire
ARLINGTON — A toddler who would have celebrated her second birthday on Sunday died in an early morning two-alarm house fire in Arlington.
Fire department officials said the victim was one of six people inside the single-story home in the 1200 block of Land Rush Drive when the fire was reported around 1:40 a.m.
Only the child — identified by family members as Lily Condron — was unable to escape. Loved ones said they couldn't reach her burning bedroom in the 38-year-old house.
"The house was on fire, and they were trying to get to Lily. They couldn't get to Lily," said the victim's aunt, Kim King, who got a frantic call from her father moments after the fire.
"It was panic," she recalled. "He was choking. He was coughing because of the smoke, and everybody was just screaming."
King said Lily's father and others tried to save the toddler, but couldn't reach her. The fire began in the child's bedroom in the front of the house.
"He just told me he tried to crawl across the floor, but the fire was too much," King said.
The child's father suffered minor scrapes and burns from the fire.
King said the family was planning an outing later sunday at Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate Lily's second birthday.
"It was going to be her first time," she said through tears.
Firefighters knew there was a toddler trapped inside when they arrived at the burning home. Crews reported flames shooting from the windows of the room at the front of the home where Lily had been sleeping.
"Fire crews tried to make a very aggressive, quick rescue," said department spokesman Kevin Seeton in a written statement. "The crews had to fight the fire to get to the child's room."
Yet firefighters were unable to get to the child in time.
"We saw the fire that was inside the house," said neighbor Ken Huth. "Shortly after that, they brought a chair — like a living room chair — out, and it was on fire."
Lily was found dead in the bedroom. The four adults and Lily's older brother were able to escape without injury.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

I keep hearing the argument, more from people outside of Fort Wayne, that the Komets' improvement this season is more indicative of their strength of schedule than anything else.
I don't buy that, but I'll let you make the call.
The Komets are 13-7-0 and one point out of first place in the Turner Conference. Through 20 games last season, they were 5-14-1.
All of their victories have come against Rapid City (four), Evansville (three), Dayton (three), Quad City (two) and Bloomington (one).
Those teams have a combined winning percentage of .508.
That doesn't seem that bad to me.
I don't, personally, think you have reason to be anything but excited about the way the Komets have performed. Only eight players are back from last season and look at the way the newcomers are producing: Brett Smith 10 goals, 26 points; Bobby Chaumont 6 goals, 25 points; Chris Auger 10 goals, 19 points; Jamie Milam 7 goals, 15 points; Jean-Michel Rizk 9 goals, 12 points.
Only two players, Colin Chaulk and Jesse Bennefield, have negative plus/minus ratings and I don't see that continuing for either.
