Adult Admits to Sex With 15-Year-Old But Will Not Be Charged | News
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Lashanta Jackson wants to know what it takes to bring charges against a 30-year-woman who is in an alleged sexual relationship with her 15-year-old son.
"I want her to be prosecuted, I want her to go to jail and I want her to be listed as a pedophile," said Jackson.
According to a St. Johns County Sheriff's Office report:
September 6 - Jackson's son was arrested at the woman's house as a robbery suspect; during that arrest the 30-year-old woman was questioned.
The report said the woman (who we are not identifying) had no knowledge of a robbery, but during the interview "admitted to having a relationship with the fifteen-year-old."
"For her to sit and confess about it, I was more angry about the situation." said Jackson.
September 9 - The 30-year-old woman was interviewed again and told investigators the "sexual relationship began sometime from July 2011."
She told the deputy "the boy looked 17 years old, she only knew he was 15 when he was arrested." But during that same interview she admitted she lied and said she knew he "was 15 years old before they first had sexual intercourse."
"He's 15 she's 31, she's my age, she's up under me, that's against the law, she's a pedophile," added Jackson.
September 14 - The case goes to the state attorney to determine if there's probable cause for lewd and lascivious battery charges and the sheriff's office is advised to re-interview the 15-year-old and get sworn testimony regarding the sexual activity.
September 29 - The deputy tries to get sworn testimony from the 15-year-old and he "denied anything sexually happened" and he did not want to talk about anything.
The sheriff's office says since the alleged victim would not participate the case cannot move forward.
"There's no information other than the suspect saying it happened, so it is basically 'he said she said,' once again no physical evidence, no witnesses to corroborate the sexual relations, so there's no way to pursue criminal charges in that case," said Corporal Catherine Payne.
We reached out to the 30-year-old woman in the sheriff's report and left a message; she has yet to respond.
Department of Children and Families Spokesperson John Harrell said they would only get involved if the person was a caregiver or worked as a school teacher.
Jackson said she will take her case to the sheriff if she has to because, in her words, if this was a case involving a 30-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl, it might have been handled differently.

November 8th's Total Lunar Eclipse
Total lunar eclipses are possible only where the plane along which the Earth orbits, the ecliptic, and the Moon's plane, inclined by five degrees to the ecliptic, intersect. Not only must the Moon be aligned, but it must also be in its full phase for an eclipse to occur, since it is then that it is on the shadow-side of the Earth. On November eighth, for twenty-four minutes, the Earth will totally eclipse the moon for the second time this year. (The last total eclipse came on May 15th.) This event will be visible from every continent except Australia. The Americas, Europe, Africa, and Western Asia will all see the Moon through its entire eclipse cycle.
The eclipse begins on the eighth at 5:15 p.m. EST with the Moon's onset into the penumbral shadow of the Earth which prevents only a small fraction of light from reaching the lunar surface. This almost imperceptibly subtle transit will last until 6:32 p.m. when the Moon starts to enter the main shadow of our planet, or umbra, and the setting darkness of the partial eclipse becomes apparent to us. It is as the planet blocks nearly all direct light that the refracted light from our atmosphere will appear to lighten the shadow from black or gray and cast the Moon in browns, then coppers, reds, and oranges. The global air clarity and the path the Moon takes through the umbra will dictate the color and darkness of the eclipse.
By 8:06 p.m. the Moon will be completely within the umbral shadow, totally
Fenton 2
eclipsed, and traveling through the shadow's southern half. The moment of greatest eclipse will occur at 8:18 p.m. when the northern surface becomes darkest, receiving the least amount of refracted light from our atmosphere.
Eight-thirty marks the end of the total eclipse, and the Moon will proceed from here through its partial eclipse until 10:04 p.m. when it will once more quietly pass through the penumbra. At 11:21 p.m., the Moon's six-hour travel through our planet's shadow ends.
Anyone interested in viewing the moon is encouraged to come to the area in front of the Garden Cabin at 7:45 p.m. where binoculars will be provided for a closer look at the event and photographs will be taken during totality. All present will see the night sky differently without the Moon's reflected light. Faint stars and other distant stellar objects will be visible like at no other time during the year. The campus will not see another total lunar eclipse until October 28th, 2004.

I am a senior double majoring in art history and liberal arts with a minor in sociology. My interests outside of school include painting, hiking, reading, and welding. This is my second semester leading the ART 100 Study Group; I loved it last semester and am looking forward to this semester!.
My name is Alaine Ziegler and I am a Graduate Student in the biochemistry department. I run study groups for BC 351. I am originally from Lakewood CO and I love to read, play with my dogs and hang out with my friends.
I am a sophomore Natural Resources Management major from Boulder, CO. When I am not a Study Group Leader for BZ110 and BZ101, I enjoy biking, dancing, riding horses, and spending long hours in coffee shops for no apparent reason. I also have an irrational fear of cold water and an irrational love of drawing pictures to explain concepts in biology. I believe that learning should be about connecting with information, not just memorizing it, and studying can always be made more fun!
I am a sophomore in the biochemistry major. I am also working on minors in both biomedical engineering and mathematics. Upon graduating I hope to find a job in research and development of neural biochemical processes and treatments.
I am majoring in biochemistry, and I will be graduating this December. After CSU, I plan on attending dental school. I enjoy drinking coffee, hiking, camping, taekwondo (I am a second degree black belt), music (especially Led Zeppelin) and 1/35 scale plastic modeling.
Hi there! My name is Mitchell Bordelon and I am the study group leader for organic chemistry. Currently, I am a sophomore student pursuing a degree in chemistry. When I am not in class or tutoring, I spend my time working in Assistant Professor James Neilson's lab with the aim of developing new magnetic materials. Also, I enjoy going out for a long bike ride or a great day of powder snowboarding. After graduating from CSU, I plan on attending graduate school to study solid state chemistry.
I grew up in Windsor CO, which is a small town 25 miles east of Fort Collins. My current majors are Political Science, Economics and German, which have all contributed to my defining experiences in college. Last summer, I was an intern in Senator Bennet's Office and I gained a better understanding of the legislative process at the federal level. This will be my second semester as a Tilt Study Group Leader and I am really excited to build on the skills and lessons I learned last semester. I hope to pursue a career in the developing field of ecological economics.
I will be graduating in May with a Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Sciences at Colorado State University. My major is Nutrition and Food Science with a concentration in Dietetics. I am very passionate about metabolism and I have learned much about biochemistry through pursuing this passion. In the near future, I would love to be a Registered Dietitian at a long-term care facility.
I am a senior in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition. I have been working in the Translational Research on Aging and Chronic Disease Lab since my freshman year. I am now waiting to hear back from the CSU Health and Exercise Science Department about my application for the master's program. Outside of the classroom, you will find me cooking, crafting, and listening to Coldplay, often at the same time.
My name is Roshni Bhuvan, and I am the Study Group Leader for LIFE 102. I am a second year Chemistry major at CSU, as well as an Undergraduate TA for LIFE 102. I love the outdoors, and I dance competitively. I am also a tea fanatic, and I can be found quite frequently in Happy Lucky's stocking up on more tea!
I'm a junior Biomedical Sciences major from Dayton, Ohio. After I graduate, I plan on going to Graduate School to obtain a PhD in Biomedical Sciences and from there pursue a career in Genetics. I love to bake, spend time with friends and family, and to learn as many new things as I can.
My name is Josh Detwiler and I am the student group leader for LIFE 203. I am a junior biochemistry major and was raised in Denver. After doing electrical work for five years, I decided that working in the cold and having constant back and knee pain was not for me, so I enrolled at Arapahoe community college for a year then transferred to CSU. LIFE 203 is a really interesting course and I look forward to helping out any student who needs it.
My name is Yiyi, and I am a sophomore major in Watershed Science. My career goal is to be a watershed specialist. Human beings will be faced with severe shortage of drinking water in the near future, and I want to devote myself to relieve this problem
Hello! My name is Anneliese Detmer and I am a zoology and chemistry double major. I have a passion for animals and i hope to obtain a PhD in animal science.
My name is Alison Husted. I am a senior majoring in Biomedical Sciences and I plan to go to nursing school after I graduate. I was born and raised in Colorado and in my free time I enjoy to ski and paint.
I am a junior Statistics and Economics double major at CSU. I am especially interested in using statistical methods for regional economic analysis. As a native Coloradan from Grand Junction, I am a huge Broncos fan and I also love the outdoors! Outside of class, I'm often playing golf, skiing or fly fishing.

---- — PEABODY — Deuces were wild as the School Committee gave a unanimous OK to a new contract with the city's teachers, agreeing to three years of consecutive increases of 2 percent, 2 percent and 2 percent.
The agreement includes the year just past, as well as two years to come.
"It's a fair deal for the taxpayers and a fair deal for the teachers who contribute so much to the education of our kids," said Mayor Ted Bettencourt.
He noted that the 2 percent increases match agreements made previously with the police and fire unions. The money to pay the higher salaries has already been anticipated in the city's budget and will not require any new appropriations.
In addition to the teachers, the board agreed to identical increases with AFSCME, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Workers, which includes people like clerical workers, custodians and bus drivers.
There were few new wrinkles in the benefit package, the mayor said.
"The benefit changes were largely negotiated last year with changes in health coverage," he said.
At that time, all city workers agreed to be covered by the statewide Government Insurance Commission, or GIC.
"That saved Peabody about $3 million," Bettencourt said.
The amount of time teachers must work to gain "longevity increases" was lengthened "slightly" in the new contract, the mayor said. These come every five years and range from $350 to $4,150 after 30 years of teaching in Peabody. Slight increases in stipends for department heads were also approved.
Board member Tom Rossignol noted the work that went into the settlement.
"I'd just like to thank the negotiating team," he said.
Those on the team included school department lawyer Donald Conn, committee members Dave McGeney, Jarrod Hochman and Dave Charest, with Superintendent Joe Mastrocola and Assistant Superintendent Cara Murtagh helping out.
Mastrocola praised the work of teachers union President Bruce Nelson and his fellow negotiators.
"We met a number of times to come to an understanding of what was at stake ... what we could do to be fiscally responsible to the citizens of Peabody," he said.
The superintendent stressed the value of rewarding the teachers, "more than half of whom have been with us for ten years or more."
Nelson, who led the negotiations on behalf of the teachers, could not be reached for comment.
Bettencourt said he got "significantly involved" in the talks over the last few weeks as negotiations neared a successful completion. Goodwill helped bring the two sides together, he indicated.
Mastrocola cited the mayor's leadership in getting the agreement.
Teachers have already tentatively ratified the agreement, although it will have to be approved a second time due to small changes.

A great straighforward sport route. Follow the trail from the parking area north, it will turn uphill towards the left side of Aquarium Rock. The route starts on the left side of the gully at the base of a slab. Scramble the slab to the first clip. Fire straight up the well-worn face past five or six bolts, followed by a long runout on easy low angle terrain with one horn to sling. A one 60m rappel from the backside. A short downclimb is necessary to reach the rappel bolts.

This is my first 2011 Rams Mock Draft. I have accounted for both need and skill. This is what I think will happen if Julio Jones is taken prior to the 14th pick.
Round 1
Trade down to the Chargers for their first round #18 pick and their third round #18 pick.
Mike Pouncey, G- Florida. The Rams need a OG to protect Bradford, and since Julio is Jones is gone this makes perfect sense. The Rams will not take Baldwin because they know he is prolly not a #1 and are not willing to risk it. They will simply wait for Justin Blackmon or Micheal Floyd next year. Other possible picks: Corey Luiget, Brandon Harris, Cameron Jordan.
Round 2
Leanord Hankerson, WR- Miami. Even though I think that any reciever after Julio is just another #2, Hankerson is a prize to have here. He has great hands, acceleration, and is a good route runnner. Other possible picks: Greg Little, DeMarco Murray.
Round 3, #14
Mason Foster, OLB- Washington. I would say that Bruce Carter will be gone by now so the Rams take Foster because they need a OLB in the draft and they dont want to wait any longer. He can stop the run, cover the pass, and has very good tackling ability. All the tools to compliment James Laurinaitis. Other possible picks: Bruce Carter
Round 3, #18
Jarvis Jenkins, DT- Clemson. Jarvis Jenkins brings us a run stopper that we would have wanted out of Corey Luiget. Not a great pass rusher but thats why we have Chris Long.
Round 4
Jaquizz Rodgers, RB- Oregon State. James Rodgers is a speedy guy who will be able to change the pace of the power running of Steven Jackson. Rodgers will also help in the return game. He runs with good low pad level has great agility. Other possible picks: Noel Devine, Derrick Locke
Round 5
Ricky Elmore, DE- Arizona. A solid pass rusher and should work well across from Chris Long. He had 11 sacks in 2010 and 10.5 in 2009. So he is a consistent reliable DE. Other possible picks: Chris Rucker
Round 6
Eric Hagg, S- Nebraska. Has good size, speed, and instincts to be a great safety in the NFL. For some reason he is underated. He is a big reason Nebraska was among the top 10 nationally in pass defense, scoring defense and total defense. Other possible picks: Davonte Shannon
Round 7
Mario Butler, CB- Georgia Tech. Not a great CB as of now, but it is a need and so why not try him out and see if he can turn into one. Other possible picks: Zac Etheridge
While this has nothing to do with my mock draft, and even though you can make mock drafts on this site I wanted to suggest and recommend you go to mockdrafthq.com. Its a pretty cool site just for creating and looking at other mock drafts. I have no idea who created it or small details but it is pretty cool to see and be apart of.

Blogs : Exploring Wine with Tim Fish
2013 was the driest year on record, and 2014 is one big question mark
Posted: January 15, 2014 By Tim Fish
California is thirsty—and not for wine. It barely rained in 2013, and the wine industry is worried.
How bad is it? Some of the growing regions in Napa Valley got less rain than Las Vegas. Paso Robles, on the California Central Coast, got 1.92 inches of rain in 2013 instead of the average 12.78, according to the National Weather Service. By comparison, Death Valley got 2.17 inches.
That makes 2013 the driest year on record in California, and the records go back to about 1880. Droughts are nothing new here, but this is a new level of parched. It doesn't help that 2012 was an exceptionally dry year as well.

A difficult vintage has resulted in tough reds with drying tannins, and careless vintners ended up with musty, moldy-tasting wines
Posted: December 13, 2013 By James Laube
With the exception of the 2011 California Cabernets, which are trickling in, most of the 2011 wines from California have passed through our tasting room.
For some vintners, 2011 was the worst harvest in decades. For many, 2011 was the most difficult in a career. It's impossible to put a happy face on a year marked by uniformly cold temperatures, hard rain at harvest, crops at 50 percent of hope and minimal financial returns.
Yet for all the headaches and ordinary wines from 2011, there are plenty of lessons. One is that modern viticultural practices could salvage what was in most ways a nightmarish vintage.

Little brother, please, allow me to explain something to you. Through the years, I have felt sorry for you. You've tried valiantly to claim a seat at the adults table. You have failed, but your efforts have been pure and true. At times, you have shown true promise, and on occasion emerged from the arena victorious. You have even made me, at times, proud to call you my little brother.
Now, however, the circumstances have changed. You have done something that cannot go unnoticed. You have taken what is ours. You will be punished. The ghosts of our forefathers scream through these halls demanding retribution. You will be hurt. You will be broken and bloody come days end. Little brother, you brought this on yourself. Your whining, petulant ways have become too much to bear. It is with no regret that we shall do this to you. Your "One Nation" will be demolished.
You cry that I cannot claim part in this, that because I chose to seek a brighter future through other halls, I am not part of "we". Bullshit. Ours is a true nation, one built upon pride, upon trust, upon botherhood. All of us, be it in a house divided, be it in the fields, at work and at play, are united by one thing. We hate you. Why, you ask? Because, fuck you. We ARE Iowa.

Lost Zac - the Meandering Boo Boy
Photos and Meditations on Fly Fishing in Southwest Montana and wherever.....
Only a few minutes a-stream
I should have been helping Sarah move all our belongings in to our new home. She was working hard getting everything organized, and I was working equally hard -- tying a size 20 wire midge dropper to a size eight bead head stonefly nymph. I wanted just a few casts with the Sweetgrass four weight hex rod before the deep orange sun slid behind black Cottonwood silhouettes. The first pocket I tried did not produce. I was a little concerned. The valley grew darker, as light began to fade. A couple more casts, and these precious few, stolen minutes on this small stream would be over.
I hustled up to the next pool, cast to a riffle's tail, and let the flies slough to deep olive water. And I felt a tug!
Back to moving....
In Wild Waters,
Zac Sexton

There is only one day left before $85 billion in widespread forced spending cuts begin. As expected, a sharply divided Senate voted Thursday afternoon to reject alternative plans put forward by Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Senator Reid wanted to place new taxes on millionaires and cut agriculture subsidies and defense spending. Republicans object to new defense cuts and are against new taxes. WTOC spoke with Congressman Jack Kingston Thursday at the airport.
"We are ready to look at whatever they send back to us. We want this to be as painless as possible and in our area the military is going to take a six to seven percent cut. There will be some furloughs and there will be some stress shown, particularly at Fort Stewart but also off post," said Kingston.
President Obama and several Capitol Hill leaders are scheduled to meet Friday but hope for progress are low.

Tener is one of the verbs in Spanish that can be combined with several prefixes to form new verbs. Like many other common verbs, tener (which usually means "to have" in the sense of "to possess") is irregular; fortunately, all the verbs derived from tener are conjugated in the same way.
Although tener doesn't have a cognate (an equivalent word with a common ancestor) in English, the verbs derived from it do, and they are among the English verbs ending in "-tain." Thus detener has the same origin as the English "detain," mantener is related to "maintain," and so on.
But just because English's "-tain" words are related to Spanish's -tener verbs doesn't mean that they are exact matches. For example, detener and retener are often interchangeable in Spanish as their meanings can be quite similar, but the English verbs are less likely to be used synonymously. Similarly, the meanings of "to hold something up" and "to defend a viewpoint" can both be expressed in Spanish with sostener and mantener, while the English verbs tend to have less overlap in meaning.
Here are the Spanish verbs derived from tener along with some of their most common meanings and some sample sentences:
- abstener, abstenerse: to abstain, to abstain. Mi padre tiene que abstenerse del alcohol. (My father has to abstain from alcohol.)
- atenerse: to observe, to abide by, to heed. Es importante que nos atenemos la ley. (It is important that we obey the law.)
- contener: to contain. La jarra contiene dos litros. (The jug contains two liters.)
- detener: to detain, to arrest, stop. La policía detuvo a once personas. (The police arrested eleven people.)
- entretener: to distract, to entertain, to delay, to maintain. Se entretuvieron buscando un coche. (They got distracted looking for a car.) No ha entretenido su coche. (He has not maintained his car.) Se entretenía por tocar el piano. (She entertained herself by playing the piano.)
- mantener: to (physically) support, to sustain, to maintain, to remain or keep. Los precios se mantuvieron estables. (Prices remained stable.) Mantenga limpia España. (Keep Spain clean.) Roberto se mantiene con caramelos. (Roberto keeps himself going with candy.) Se ha mantenido como nuevo. (It has been maintained like new.)
- obtener: to get, to obtain. Obtuve la firma del actor. (I got the actor's signature.)
- retener: to retain, to hold back, to deduct, to keep. Retenieron el avión presidencial por una deuda. (They held back the presidential plane because of a debt.) Muchas empresas retienen impuestos. (Many businesses deduct taxes.) Retengo en la cabeza todos los lugares que he visto. (I keep in my head every place I have seen.)
- sostener: to hold up, to defend. Los tres bloques sostienen la casa. (The three blocks hold up the house.) No puedo sostener mi opinión. (I can't defend my position.)
Related Words
Here are some words that are derived from or otherwise related to the above verbs along with some common meanings:
- abstemio (teetotaler), abstención (abstention), abstencionismo (abstentionism)
- contenedor (container), contenido (contents)
- detención (arrest, a halt)
- entretenido (entertaining), entretenimiento (entertainment, pastime)
- mantenimiento (maintenance, upkeep)
- obtención (an obtaining)
- retención (detention, deduction, retention)
- sostén (a support), sostenido (sustained)

Campus Housing:
Nice atmosphere to meet your fellow students, but then I would get off campus as soon as you can- unless you're too lazy to take out your own garbage, in which case, enjoy your waffle ceilings and destroyed weekend bathrooms for 4 years!
Campus Housing:
Clark's buildings vary greatly in age, but they are very good at not letting any of them get too bad.
Campus Housing:
Clark University has a beautiful green, a modernist library, and small/big enough that you can travel around with ease and meet up easily with friends. Some of the dorms are a bit on the older side but that mostly affects only juniors, and sophomores. If you would prefer a nicer dorm choose Wright and Bullock for your first year. For your sophomore, junior, and senior year, if you can afford it choose either Maywood Hall (suite-style) or Blackstone Hall (apartment-style). Dana Hall, Hughes Hall, Dodd Hall, and J&S Hall have more traditional double style rooms which more spacious than Wright and Bullock but lack pleasing common areas. For Housing Lottery it would serve your best interest to know all the prices before hand so you can get the best lottery number possible.
Campus Housing:
Nothing much to say. I need a place to live. Clark provides a place to live. I've definitely seen worse, but I've also definitely seen better.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Angela Wu
The best things about Clark housing are that it is spacious and it is guaranteed all four years. Clark may not have the newest buildings, but they are all well-maintained, and the size of the rooms more than makes up for the age of the buildings. On top of that, all the housing options are within two minutes walking distance from any classroom that you might need to get to. The on-campus housing is furnished, provided with telephone, Internet, and cable TV, and they all have a cleaning service that takes care of the common rooms and bathrooms. Many students enjoy living on campus so much that they remain there all four years, and since seniors get the best numbers in the housing lottery, that isn't a hard feat to accomplish.
When it comes to choosing a dorm to live in, the best advice for an incoming freshman would be to live in one of the freshman dorms. Either dorm will be a great time, and the social network that you create will follow you through all your years at Clark. There is definitely a perceivable difference between students who were able to live in the freshman dorms and those that did not, and most of those that did not seem to regret it. The one drawback to the freshman dorms is that they can sometimes be a little stricter than other dorms. This is because they tend to get more rowdy in general, and so the RAs get to be more watchful. But other than that, many consider the dorms to be the preferred way to live at Clark.

Express transports goods and documents around the world with a focus on time-certain and/or day-certain delivery.
Goods and documents have different weights, shapes and sizes and can have different requirements in terms of speed of delivery, security and point of delivery. Goods and documents can have very different distance requirements, ranging from domestic (volumes within the boundaries of a country) to international (volumes shipped between countries) e.g. cross-border and/or regional as well as intra-continental and intercontinental.
The express services provided and the prices Express charges are primarily classified by speed, distances to be covered, sizes and weights of consignments. Express provides its customers express and economy express (less time sensitive) services which differ in price. The revenue-quality is the average of the growth in revenue per consignment and revenue per kilo for the domestic and international products excluding acquisitions and foreign exchange translation impacts.
Express' customers range from small and medium enterprises, major customers, high volume shippers and global customers. Each category of customers is managed by dedicated teams and processes. Express builds strong relationships with its customers through regular personal contact and visits, as well as a wide range of communications media. The main sectors Express serves are high-tech, automotive and industrial, healthcare and lifestyle (fashion).
Express is among the leading Express players in Europe, and its global coverage extends to more than 200 countries with company-owned activities in 62 countries. In 2010, Express continued to build its positions in emerging markets while enhancing connectivity between those markets and Europe.
At present, Express operates in four reportable segments. Following the demerger, Express will report along these segments. There are three geographical segments and one business segment:
- Europe, Middle East and Africa (Europe & MEA) is the home market of Express and its main revenue and profit generator,
- Asia-Pacific (ASPAC) is a key growth area for Express, with China at its centre,
- within Americas, Brazil and Chile have been the focus of the most recent expansion of Express, while maintaining a presence in the United States and Canada in order to provide its customers with full service access to these major economies, and
- finally the business segment 'Other Networks' that consists of Express' Fashion and Innight activities.
Additionally, non-allocated consists of among others of the Express Head Office and ICS (Information Communication Services) activities.
For a detailed discussion on the basis of preparation of the financial statements in this chapter, please see Combined Financial statements.

Promoted FanPost
At 6'7" 217 lbs with a nice inside and outside game and the ability to take defenders off the dribble, I think the C's should take a shot at Kris Joseph from Syracuse. He is projected to go in the 20-25 range in this years draft.
Now maybe I am biased because I am a big Syracuse fan, but I have seen enough Orange games to know that Joseph also posesses the work ethic and intangibles to be a star in the NBA. The biggest intangibles I see from him is the ability to pick up the scoring load when the offense is struggling by creating his own shot. This includes an under control dribble drive that reminds me of the captain. If you watch him play, I think you will see a late 90's version of Paul Pierce in terms of size and athleticism. I'd be interested to see what others think.

Jenelle Evans' "Teen Mom 2" journey has been nothing short of traumatic at times, and though we've seen glimpses of hope throughout the years, the recovering addict endured yet another harrowing experience during tonight's Season 5 premiere. Shortly after her husband of only a few months, Courtland, was sent to jail for drug-related charges, Jenelle discovered she was pregnant with his child. She hadn't been clean from heroin for very long, and it was obvious to her that the marriage was doomed, so with her mother's support, Jenelle decided to get an abortion. In our "Teen Mom 2 Featured Moment" clips below, Jenelle provides some insightful background on her troubled relationship with Courtland, whom she's still legally married to, as well as what went into her choice to terminate the pregnancy.
"I didn't care about my hygiene, I didn't care about my health, I didn't care about anything," Jenelle says of her state of mind at the time. "I didn't know what to do; I had to get an abortion…I had to."
Abortion is obviously a polarizing topic, but we want to hear your thoughts on Jenelle's situation in particular. Check out the videos, then share your opinion in the poll and comments section. And no matter how passionate you may feel about the subject, please remember to respect the viewpoints of others.

I'm not going to lie, I just ate the Play Doh.

You ate it?? I always thought it smelled good, but never got the urge to eat it..
- August 18, 2009 at 6:23 PM
- Some Guy said...
We had this. The problem was the Play-Doh would dry up and clog the little follicle holes if you didn't clean them out immediately after use (which we never did).

THis was called the Mop top Hair shop when I had it in the 80's. I just LOVED to play playdoh! I REALLY wanted the fun factory, but never got one until recently. Some Guy is right about the dried playdoh clogging the holes and I, too, never took the time to clean them while the playdoh was stil moist.

SG: we used to pop out the dried playdoh with toothpicks.
Blueroc: Never had a fun factory.

I had forgotten how obsessive-compulsive i was about not getting the colors mixed..

I too was uneasy when they combined the colors.
- August 20, 2009 at 2:58 PM
- blueroc85 said...
I , too, did not like mixing the colors and would go to great lengths avoid mixing my own playdoh colors.
I teach school and don't let the students mix colors either.

Hairball: Sometimes I hated even using a brand-new set, since i knew the colors would mix..
Blueroc: Haha old habits don't die easily do they.. ;^)
Goggles: It's not easy sometimes ...
- August 20, 2009 at 5:20 PM
LOL,just today my 4yr old was playing with the barber shop,an yes i cringe when ever he mix,s the doh.
- November 26, 2011 at 10:17 PM
- joe said...
It's like some sort of primal instinct with me to not allow the colors to mix..
- November 27, 2011 at 6:16 AM
We had something similar to the fuzzy pumper as kids but they were plastic ice cream cones with faces and holes on top for the hair. However these were hand held, and the base screwed in to push out the play doh. Except we used them with peanut butter and licked it like an ice cream! Does anyone remember anything like this? I am starting to think it wasn't a hasbro product but a knock off. They were so fun.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - A former City of Lubbock employee makes statewide news. Without much warning with absolutely no public explanation the San Marcos City Council fired Rick Menchaca late Friday.
Already photos and documents about Menchaca have been erased from the San Marcos web site. Menchaca graduated from Texas Tech and started his career as a budget analyst for the city of Lubbock. He settled out of court with Midland in 2007 for nearly half a million dollars when people felt like he was too harsh on a Midland police officer. But he was under fire one year later for exactly the opposite reason related to a police officer in San Marcos. Menchaca was appointed by both Governors George W. Bush and Rick Perry to the $15 billion Texas Municipal Retirement System.

This is the prequel to The Thing (1982) and deals with what happened in the Norwegian facility that is seen in the other movie. It stars a a lot of people who's face you will probably recognize but not the name, with the lead being a girl by the name of Mary Elizabeth Winstead who plays a paleontologist who gets invited to go to Antarctica to help dig up a new find. She actually does a pretty good job, acts fairly well but it's not anything to save the movie.
Basically the movie is just like the other one but with more speed, less character, and lots of CGI. They bring everything up to speed really quick and there isn't any build up, they bring the thing to the location and that night it starts killing people. All the tension of who is who isn't fully developed because someone will change into the The Thing and kill a bunch of people and then it turns into a run and hunt movie.
They have like one test scene in which they see if people have fillings in their teeth or not (because the thing can't recreate inorganic objects, etc) but it doesn't get farther than that. Also the Thing seems to have a new instant kill feature in which it like stabs you with a tentacle, I don't remember this being in the other one but it really makes the monster more deadly at the sacrifice of fun.
They use CGI for everything which seems okay but it really doesn't compare to having the props like the original and the cgi now enables them to show the thing in the transforming form much more for better or worse.
Overall, it doesn't live up to the John Carpenter movie but it's mildly amusing if your a fan of The thing and just want to see some more. I do like how they connected the ending of this movie with the beginning of the Carpenter one with the chasing of the dog in a helicopter.

While I'm convinced this movie is shit and probably won't see it, I'm glad it's a prequel instead of a remake. Seemed like an action movie instead of horror judging by the previews, and it pissed me off that the only horror movie that ever scared me was going to get shat on in that fashion.

I had no intention of seeing it since they were using CGI, which for me ruins the entire movie. It looks fake, not like Carpenter's puppetry fake, but legitimately fake and not creepy like how it was done in the first film. Hell, even their breath is CGI.
As for your poll, I'm torn between The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China.

Indeed. I saw the trailer for this film and thought it looked like a 1:1 remake.
Dunno if I'll watch it as it's hard to beat Carpenter's version.

I saw it Sat night with my wife and it was way better than I thought. I was totally prejudiced "a chick?" "swedes?" "another JC remake?" "no JC synth soundtrack?"
They say it's a prequel, but it's pretty much the same movie, except they go into more detail about where it came from, and that didn't do much for me.
Funny thing is, it's a Thing remake, but there's a lot of Aliens influence in it. A lot. Too much.
And Excape from NY is his best.
I'd actually take Christine over Big Trouble in Little China.
Nothing beats the effects from the 1st one, CGI can never convey tactile shit. You know the first one was all gooey and slimy and squishy, a couple times this new one was running around, cthulhu tentacles all a-flailin', it was kind of funny actually.
With all the JC remakes, why don't they re-do They Live? It felt so...unfinished and ended so abruptly but had so much potential.

They Live could work really well especially with the economic tensions being what they are. I know that was a huge theme and they could totally make it work nowadays. It had better be a 1:1 remake in terms of dialog and fight scenes, though.

The movie wasn't terrible in my opinion. I enjoyed the small twist at the end, but really. It does lift a lot of iconic scenes from the first movie, but still differentiates itself enough to be its own movie.
The CGI was shit though and I thought it lacked a lot of the tension that the original had. Overall - I'd give it a rental, but if I were gonna subject someone the series, I'd start with John Carpenter's version first as watching this one would take away a lot of the mystery of the original.
Basically - it's for fluff purposes. Fills in back story, but is never the main event.
I kinda wanna see if I can track down the comic series as I'm curious if it was any good.

The backstory really isn't necessary, becomes predictable, and like I said before, was real reminiscent of Alien/Aliens. I kind of liked not really knowing where it came from, it doesn't really matter, because the essence of the story is "who can you trust" not so much where does this doppleganger-lobstersquid come from?
Kind of feeble that they call it a prequel, because it's like 70% the same as the original.
I always thought the best scene in the JC ver. was when they are all together, doing the blood test to reveal who it is, great suspense. Then it was total chaos. I think this one jumped into the total chaos/horror too quick and missed out on some of the tension/anxiety.
I'm surprised that I liked this one, since I think 90% of movies are shite.

Oh, no disagreement from me. There's a reason why I said I'd force people to watch the John Carpenter version first. It's so much superior that it's ridiculous, but even so, this one had it's moments.

It's kind of hard to criticize the movie for calling itself a prequel when the story lines are so similar to the other one because any location you go to it's going to have the same story unless they want to completely change the type of movie. The THing movie really a mixture of things like the isolation of Antarctica, the monster, and the traitor element. You can't really make a true sequel to a movie like that without having very similar scenes.
They had the opportunity to viably make a prequel with the story line without straight out calling it a remake even though being in a different timeline doesn't really change much when your in Antarctica. Basically don't knock it for calling itself a prequal yet looking like a remake, it's just how its going to happen okay.
Anyways in regards to the best JC movie of the ones I listed I would probably say The Thing then Big trouble with New york after it. New York was good but always felt like it had a bit too much cheese in it considering its story line.

I thought In the Mouth of Madness was a good movie, its just that if people don't really know the whole Lovecraftian mode of story telling then they wouldn't like it.

I rewatched in the mouth of madness the other night and thought it was still as good as i remember. Though i watched new nightmare a few days before so I was a tiny bit done with the whole meta aspect wahtevs, in the mouth of madness is still better. which sort of ties in as it dfits carpenters apoclypaseope trilogy, the thing, mouth, prince of darkness, the latter being real swell maybe a bit more 70s italian kind of shit than the other because of its desolation but still, a films a films a film.
I havent even seen this advertised in the uk yet and dont have anyone to go to the cinema with so im going to smash a train into my face jk ill rewatch the original

Rated 3 out of 5�by Rock works ok for light duty I have bought another brand in the past and that seems better and was pre-treated with bug repellant. Seams should be a little thicker for durability. I do not see this product lasting more than 2 weeks of use without being damaged. July 30, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5�by Angelica Excellent Customer Service The product was for a gift so I don't know exactly how effective it was but I do want to complement the staff at the Wheaton location. I was impressed by their efficiency and the excellent customer service they provided. July 22, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5�by JennyJ2773 Very useful Our son used it at Boy Scout camp to put over his cot. It worked great in keeping the mosquitoes off of him. July 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by JT Did the job Very slight string to attach to posts. I will replace mine with stronger. It did allow breezes to pass through, which was helpful in the summer heat. July 3, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by MomOf3WonderfulKids Perfect for camping We bought 2 of these to use when my daughter went on her girl scout encampment. It was easy to pack and set up and kept the bugs away all night long. I highly recommend this for those that will be camping outside without a tent! June 17, 2014
