SMOKERS and non-smokers alike have drawn the same conclusion – that lighting up in cars with children present is a bad thing.
The vast majority of shoppers the Gazette approached in King Street, South Shields, gave their backing to the ban proposed in Parliament this week.
There was only one dissenting voice claiming the yes vote was another example of the nanny state curbing our personal liberties.
The free vote was approved by 376 to 107 in the House of Commons.
The result gives Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, the authority to make it illegal to light up in a vehicle if a child is present, but it does not compel him to bring in the legislation.
The move came after 700 health experts wrote to MPs urging them to support the proposed ban.
They say hundreds of thousands of youngsters would be saved from exposure to smoke if the practice is outlawed.
Similar bans are already in place in the US, Canada and Australia.
Retired postman Joe Armstrong, a smoker for 60 of his 76 years, said: "It's too late for me to pack in now.
"There would be no benefits in it for me, but I'm fully supportive of a ban when kids are around."
Joe, of Whiteleas, South Shields, added: "There is still a bit of double standards, though. What would the politicians do without the taxation they make from smokers?"
Alan Steele, 56, a worker in the Re-design charity shop in Fowler Street, South Shields, packed in smoking last year.
He said: "I saw a bairn have an asthma attack in Jarrow when they were in a car in which someone was smoking, so I know it's a dangerous thing.
"I've felt so much better myself since I quit, and it's saved me a lot of money. I can afford to buy things for my home instead."
Jarrow-based charity support worker Eddie Ainsley, 50, was the only voice of scepticism.
He said: "I have never smoked, never have and never will. It's an awful habit. But this vote has something of the nanny state about it. It's Parliament telling us what we can and cannot do.
"If the car window is open, the smoke will be drawn out through circulation.
"I'm a little uneasy at a total ban."
Unemployed Les McIntyre, 58, quit the dreaded weed nine years ago. He said: "Now, I really hate smoking, and smoking in a car where there are kids is completely wrong.
"Even when I was a smoker, I would never light up in front of my two kids.
"Children need to be protected, and I support this legislation 100 per cent."
Young mum Carly Mordue, 21, of Hedworth in Jarrow, agreed.
She said: "I'm a smoker, but I would never smoke in the house when my child is there. It's the same in the car.
"My dad drives us around, and he never smokes when he is driving with us. It sets such a bad example."
Alex Halliday, 20, of South Shields, added: "Smoking in cars is just really, really wrong.
"My son Lewis is almost two, and I'd hate for him to be exposed to it.
"Who knows the damage it would do to him?"

We sent our top writers from the Battle Red Onion to follow and record how the Houston Texans spend their time off the gridiron. The content is raw, unedited, potentially leaves us open to lawsuits, put our writers in harm's way, and will probably land us all in prison. But we felt it was worth the risk. We wanted to get to know the players behind the mask.
Owen Daniels threw open the curtains of his luxurious hotel room. He looked out at the city skyline. It was a dreary morning, the skies were gray and what few trees could be seen were only just beginning to bud.
"Sigh...Spring in Prague," he said to himself.
"What was that?" asked a voice coming from the bathroom.
"Nothing," Daniels shouted.
He could hear the shower cut off and the bathroom door swing open. Walking through the door was a very attractive middle-aged woman drying her long, blonde hair with a towel and wearing a terrycloth robe.
She wrapped her arms around Daniels from behind.
"You were really something last night, Owen."
A thin smile curled on Daniels' face, "I know," he said smugly.
The woman pushed him away, "Don't sound too proud of yourself. Travis was still better."
Daniels whipped around and faced her, "Oooh, Rhonda, you really know how to hurt a guy," he said, feigning insult.
He pulled her close, looking deeply into her eyes, wondering what made Travis Johnson so damned special and how he could surpass him.
And that's when his phone rang.
Daniels lowered his head and shrugged.
"They promised," he muttered, "they promised they wouldn't call."
Daniels loped over to his suitcase and pulled his cell phone from one of the 347 pockets.
"Do not answer that phone! Come on, Owen, what good is a lockout if you can't spend it enjoying yourself?"
Daniels glumly hit the talk button. Rhonda groaned in exasperation.
"This is Daniels...I see...Uh-huh. I'll be down in a few minutes." He turned off the phone.
"No. No. You are not going anywhere," Rhonda insisted.
"You need to go, Rhonda. Now."
Rhonda looked confused at him.
"Get out!" he snapped.
Rhonda slapped him across the face before gathering up her clothes and storming back into the bathroom. It didn't take her 30 seconds before she was fully dressed and marching out of Daniels' room.
Daniels rubbed his lobster-red face, "Women..."
A few minutes later, Daniels was wearing a suit and waiting in the hotel lobby.
"Ready to go?" a strange voice said behind him.
Daniels turned, "You're Holliday?"
"I am. Let me take your bag," Holliday said, reaching for the suitcase.
Daniels jerked the suitcase away, "The bag stays with me."
Holliday nodded silently and led Daniels to the car.
"This is the car?" Daniels asked, confusedly.
"It is, Mr. Daniels," Holliday said neutrally.
"I was expecting something smaller, pinker, and more tricycle-like."
Daniels slid into the back seat and closed the door. The town car screamed down Prague's narrow side streets, avoiding collisions with other cars, people, and livestock by mere molecules.
Daniels calmly checked his watch. It was almost a quarter to nine.
"Holliday, is there any way we can pick things up? It is rather urgent."
Holliday ignored him, thinking, He's not being serious, is he? as the car made a hairpin turn around an old Baroque townhouse.
"Almost there, sir," Holliday said blandly.
The car raced straight toward a brick wall as Holliday pressed a small green button on the center console. The wall split open to reveal a narrow opening which the town car fit snugly through.
The wall closed quickly behind them and the car screeched to an abrupt stop in the pitch darkness.
Daniels opened the car door which prompted a nasal female voice to echo through the room, "Identify. You have 10 seconds to identify yourselves. Identify."
He looked toward the far wall, "Daniels comma Owen. H-4 clearance level: X plus. Ident number: OO4567-41-D."
The computer beeped randomly as it processed Daniels' information.
"Confirmed. Welcome, Agent OO-D."
The lights came up and a thick metal door creaked open. He walked through the door and into H-4's Prague substation. It was a cavernous room with countless people in suits staring intently at computer screens. As he passed, he could hear each computer monkey say "Good morning, OO-D," without looking up from their monitors.
OO-D had a reputation as something of a ladies' man. He had been called a Lothario, a lech, and Tiger Woods' apprentice; he had been with just about every female employee at H-4, with one notable exception. She was 4'8", 200 pounds, with long, spindly black hair that could only be tamed with a bullwhip and chair, dull brown eyes, and her skin was a shade of orange that does not exist in nature. And she was the lone obstacle that stood between Daniels and his handler.
"Good morning, Mr. Daniels," she said in her most sultry voice; which could best be described as sounding like a very sick cat caught in a waffle iron.
"Ms. Paloompa," Daniels said flatly, "is the Gentleman in?"
"Oh Mr. Daniels, you're such a tease," Paloompa cackled harshly, "you never did call me back."
"Go figure," he mumbled under his breath.
"And you don't have to call me Ms. Paloompa, you can call me Sanuki. You know," she stood up and strutted over toward him, which made her look like an ostrich trying to keep balance, "you should come down to my flat sometime."
Daniels resisted the urge to gag. "Is the Gentleman available, Ms. Paloompa?"
Paloompa slumped her shoulders, "Yeah, go right in."
Daniels closed the door behind him and surveyed the room. He could see no signs of life in the office.
"Mr. Gentleman?" Daniels asked nervously.
"Ah, Daniels," a gruff elderly-sounding voice said, "just the man I wanted to see."
Daniels looked around the room, trying to find the location of the old man's voice. Still no trace of his supervisor could be found. He looked under the desk. No luck there.
"No, no. Over here."
He looked up to see an aged man clinging to the ceiling. He wore a suit that blended in with the ceiling's color. Even his long beard was dyed the same color as the ceiling.
"Very clever, sir."
Mr. Gentleman dropped to the ground, "Learned that one from Antonio Smith, I did. But enough about that. I suppose you know why I called you in here right, OO-D?"
"Actually, I don't. Care to fill me in?"
"A couple of weeks ago, Tony Gonzalez went missing. Nobody has claimed responsibility and no ransom has been requested. About a week after that, Antonio Gates vanished. Four days ago, Jason Witten disappears and last night Jeremy Shockey was abducted. Someone is kidnapping the NFL's best tight ends right off the streets."
"Shockey, sir?"
"We assume his kidnapping was an error on their part. Anyway, we couldn't figure out why until we saw this."
Mr. Gentleman played a video of some men loading a moving van. He paused when the last man was about to get into the van.
"We think this is the man responsible. Does he look familiar to you?"
"He does. I've played against him. That's Gijon Robinson, he's a tight end for the Colts!"
"He's working for someone calling himself 'Clonefinger.' 'Pollux Clonefinger.' We think this Clonefinger is planning to use these tight ends and flood the free agent market with counterfeit tight end clones and lower the position's value."
"Aren't tight ends Mr. K's area of expertise?"
"His current orders take priority over this. We think Clonefinger is holed up here," the screen showed a large building decorated with flashing multicolored lights, "at a club in Indianapolis called 'The Corn Palace.' He is hosting a shindig for the Colts players and media. We want you to infiltrate the party, find Clonefinger, and destroy his operation."
"That's it? Not asking much, are we?" Daniels asked.
"If anybody can pull it off, it's you, OO-D."
The following day, Daniels caught a flight to Indianapolis and arrived at the H-4 substation there. He met with a portly man with receding gray hair in a white lab coat.
"Welcome to Indianapolis, OO-D."
"What do you have for me, Mr. P?"
"I have a couple of tools for your mission tonight, son. The first is this. What does this look like to you?"
Daniels examined the object, "A pen."
Mr. P chuckled, "Shucks yeah, but if you press this button," the pen extended into a full length metal rod, "this happens. If for some reason, you find yourself without a weapon, you can use this rod. It's bulletproof and harder than diamond."
"And what's this?" Daniels asked, looking at a small glass bottle.
"Don't touch that!" Mr. P shouted, "Shoot, son, you tryin' to melt your face off? That's your other tool. It's hydrochloric acid, Clorox concentrate and pure, distilled cynicism. One drop of this stuff can eat through just about anything except the glass it's contained in. I call them 'Blogger's Tears.'"
Daniels stashed the pen and the bottle in his inside suit pocket, "Thanks Mr. P. I guess I should head to The Corn Palace. Hey, what's this?" he asked as he placed a hand on a squat metal box with a camera protruding through the front.
The camera projected on the wall an image of Rhonda in her terrycloth robe. Mr. P looked astonished at Daniels.
"It shows what's on the mind of the person touching it. Personally, son, I wouldn't breathe a word of this to Mr. K, if I were you."
"R-Right. Thanks Mr. P." Daniels dashed out of the laboratory.
"Golly, I hope he doesn't get himself killed."
That evening, Daniels pulled up in a limo to The Corn Palace, Indianapolis' biggest, and likely only, night club. The club was, as Mr. Gentleman warned, packed to the brim with Colts players, fans, and media. Daniels walked up to the bouncer and flashed a forged media pass in his face to gain access to the club. The club might have been darker than the night sky was outside. Daniels could hardly see a couple of feet in front of him. There was no sign of Robinson, and he had no idea what Clonefinger looked like so he plopped down at the bar.
"Whatcha drinkin', buddy?"
"Clorotov cocktail. Bleach, vodka, and triple sec and then set it on fire."
"Shaken, not stirred?"
"What is this, a cheesy spy movie? Stir that mother!"
The bartender poured him his drink as Daniels examined the club. He saw a stunning brunette in a slinky black dress sitting at a table by herself.
Pretty lady sitting by herself, that just looks wrong, Daniels thought to himself as he got up and meandered over to the brunette's table.
"What's a fine looking lady like yourself doing in a place like this?"
"I'm here to support the players. You play for the team?"
"I'm a tight end. What's your name?"
The brunette's eyes widened, "Lisa Anne. Lisa Anne Malma. You're a tight end? I have a soft spot for tight ends."
Daniels couldn't believe his luck. He knew he was good, but this seemed entirely too easy. After a few minutes of small talk, Lisa Anne said, "You want to get out of here?"
Robinson wasn't about to show up, it seemed, so the answer was pretty easy for Daniels, "Sure."
They got up and left The Corn Palace in Daniels' limousine. He leaned over to kiss Lisa Anne when he felt a sharp, piercing sensation in his neck. His eyesight grew blurry until everything faded to black, and his body grew limp.
Holliday lowered the privacy screen to see what the noise was in the back of the car, only to see Lisa Anne pointing a gun in his face and Daniels collapsed on the floor, "Drive us to the stadium. Now."
A very groggy Owen Daniels woke up on a cold steel table with his wrists and ankles in restraints.
"Ugh, what happened last night? My head feels like Brian Cushing is roaming around in it. Where am I? Where did L--"
"Looking for me?" Lisa asked menacingly.
"This is a little kinkier than I'm used to Lisa, but hey, I'm game."
"Trouble is, she's nawt, OO-D."
Daniels' ears perked up. That drawl. He would recognize it anywhere. He turned again to confirm it was man with the infamously large forehead; the thorn in his Texans' collective side. "Peyton! You're Clonefinger?!"
"One and the same. Ya know, ah always suspected you were the great OO-D, but couldn't prove it. And now here you are, in the flesh...at least for now."
Daniels turned toward Lisa Anne, "So that must make you..."
"Ashley. Ashley Manning."
"So I guess a second date is out?"
Lisa Anne, make that Ashley, turned toward her husband and smiled.
Daniels sighed, "And I even bought you a drink."
Ashley wrapped an arm around her husband's waist, "She played her role beautifully, donchu think?"
"What's your angle, Clonefinger? Why copy tight ends? Don't you have like 30 of them?"
"Yeah, but only one of 'em is worth a damn. So ah kidnapped all those tight ends to create super tight ends to throw to."
"And Gijon?"
"He had tah go."
"You mean he's dead?"
"As dead as that liquored-up idiot kicker's career. And once I finish scanning you, OO-D, my super tight ends will absorb your strengths to complete them. And ah will win another six Super Bowls. As for you...when the scan ends, a laser will cut through you like uh buzzsaw."
The scanner concluded and a focused point of light bored through the bottom of the table as Ashley and Clonefinger turned to leave OO-D to his fate.
"You expect me to let you just walk away like that?" Daniels shouted.
"No, Mr. Daniels, I expect you to die. Farewell, OO-D," he chuckled.
Clonefinger and his wife closed the door, leaving Daniels to fend for himself against an unforgiving laser cutter. He flung his body up against the table, hoping to jar himself loose, without success. He did, however, see the light reflected off of a small glass bottle in his pocket. Daniels kept heaving himself against the table, trying desperately to get the bottle into his hands. It slid and rocked and nearly came open on the table. The table shook harder and harder until the Blogger's Tears fell into his hand. He poured some on his restraints; they melted down like a Frank Bush defensive scheme. Daniels ran out of the lab and into the bowels of the stadiumer to hunt down Clonefing. He stumbled around Lucas Oil Stadium until he reached the field where Clonefinger stood triumphantly in the owner's box, looking down at Daniels.
"I'm impressed you made it this far, OO-D. But this...is the end of the line!"
The stadium was filled with a harsh whirring sound as four enormous figures rose to the field's level. They were wearing football pads and blue Colts jerseys. But something was off when it came to their faces. They were very long with dark snouts.
"Snouts? Are...are those horses?!"
Daniels looked up at Clonefinger, "You used actual colts for your clones?!"
"I couldn't convince my tight ends to go through with it!"
He looked at his super tight ends, proudly. "Clones! Attack!"
Daniels searched his jacket for his revolver, only to discover it missing. Clonefinger held up the gun in his hand, "Looking for this, OO-D? You didn't reallah think I'd let you hang on to this, did you? Do I look stupid to you?"
"Well, since you asked--"
"Get him!"
The horse-clones raced down field, Daniels couldn't believe just how quickly they hustled down field. These were not Jacob Tamme copies he was facing. He pulled the pen out of his pocket and pressed the button to make the metal staff. And he studied the clones. He remembered his briefing: "Copied from Gonzales, Gates, himself, and Witten. Oh, and Jeremy Shockey." If they have all of those tight ends' strengths, he thought to himself, then it stands to reason they have their weaknesses too, including mine. Meaning...
The Colt-clone was a mere yard away and stampeded him, knocking Daniels to the ground. He stood back up, waiting for the next clone to strike. He raised the staff and swung for the clone's knees. The clone went flying over Daniels and collapsed in a heap in midfield, unable to get back up. He dispatched two other clones in similar fashion. Then he charged at the final clone, bashing him in the knees as well. It dropped like David Carr facing a blitz from Patrick Willis. Unlike the other clones, this one tried getting back up.
Daniels hit it over the head again. And again. He kept smashing the horse-clone until he could no longer stand. Then he kept hammering the effectively-dead horse with his stick until he was sure it wouldn't get up again. He turned to look back at the owner's box; Clonefinger was gone.
"This isn't over, OO-D!" Clonefinger said, his voice trailing off, "We'll meet again soon, Mr. Daniels!"
Daniels threw down his stick, frustrated that Clonefinger had gotten away. He stood there, wondering what he should do next. The tight ends were somewhere near Clonefinger's lab, and backup from H-4 was already on its way to release them. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Rhonda? No, don't hang up!"

MERCED COUNTY -- In a county where nearly half the children are considered overweight, having access to healthy food becomes critical. Bringing fresh fruit and vegetables to Merced Countys rural communities is the goal of a new mobile grocery service called Make Someone Happy.
The Merced-based vendor will celebrate its launch during an event from 2 to 5p.m. Saturday at Golden Valley Health Center on 847 W. Childs Ave. in Merced. Co-owner Don Bergman spent Thursday in preparations by stocking the 30-foot trailer with fresh persimmons and almonds.
Make Someone Happy was awarded the yearlong $177,528 contract by the Merced County Board of Supervisors during a meeting last month. Bergman said the groceries will come exclusively from local certified Farmers Market vendors.
Were starting exclusively from Merced County, besides the apples which come from Stanislaus County, said Bergman, who owns the nonprofit with his wife, Nancy. The truck will make weekly stops in unincorporated communities such as Winton, Planada, Le Grand and Snelling.
The stops for the mobile farmers market were selected based on criteria for food deserts places that are more than a mile away from grocery stores and are considered low-income.
The need is related to the areas where a lot of our low-income families live and dont have easy access to a supermarket, said Program Manager John Palm. People who dont have access to fresh foods tend to spend their money on fast food or go to a mini-mart and pick up unhealthy food options.
An estimated 43percent of children in the county are overweight or obese, according to recent statistics from the county Department of Public Health. A 2010 UCLA Center for Health Policy Research study that included adults and children found that 34.3percent of Merced County residents are obese.
Thats a trend that can be turned around with proper education and better access to healthy foods, said Claudia Corchado, program manager for the Central California Regional Obesity Prevention Program.
One of the biggest challenges, especially in the rural areas, is they are bombarded by the corner liquor store that sells processed, cheap, unhealthy foods, Corchado said. Its a cruel irony that you take a community like Planada and its a farming community, but yet they dont have access to it in their neighborhood stores.
Corchado said bringing locally-grown fruits and vegetables to communities in need will create an environment where people have a choice.
Its really up to the parents now, she said. When were talking about obesity prevention, were talking about diabetes prevention. Its the parents responsibility to teach that to the kids, because theyre the ones making the choices for them right now.
Some residents have expressed concerns that the mobile grocery truck might compete with local supermarkets, but Palm said the county took that into consideration when selecting sites.
Don and Nancy have been working with the community to find locations to not compete with grocery stores but to provide options for people who dont have access, Palm said.
John Adame, owner of Broadway Market in Planada, said hes not concerned about competition from the mobile farmers market, although the truck will stop about a mile from his store.
I dont think it will take business away from us. If it does, it will be very minor, said Adame, a 40-year business owner. Its not a concern at the moment, but if it takes off like wildfire and they start carrying other stuff, then it might be a concern.
Bergman said his mission is to get fresh fruits and vegetables in the hands of people who need it the most. Make Someone Happy will give away free produce to about 25 customers each day and will hire two employees from candidates receiving unemployment benefits or general assistance.
The mobile service will be able to take several types of payment, Bergman added, including cash, credit cards, CalFresh and EBT cards.

SANTEE, SC (WIS) - Police in Santee need your help catching thieves who are hitting out of town guests along I-95.
According to Sgt. Joe Serrano with the Santee Police Department the burglars hit a motel room on October 25 and got away with a ring worth $16,000. The guests credit card was also stolen in the burglary.
Police say that credit card was used at locations along I-95 and in Columbia. They need your help identifying the person caught on tape using the card at a Columbia store. The image was captured at the Target on Harbison Blvd.
Sgt. Serrano went on to say it is unclear how they broke into the room. There were no signs of forced entry. They believe the burglars waited for the guests to leave for dinner when they went into the room.
In addition to that, Serrano says they put the room back the way it was so the guests didn't realize they were burglarized until a few days later.
If you can help identify the person in this image or if you have any information about this case you are asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

The problem is that in reality there's not a whole lot we can do about what others think or say. Including what they think or say about us.
In part 3 of the Emerging From the FOG of Divorce series, I talk about the fear of judgement by others, why it's none of our business what they think and how to move on even if we feel unsupported in our decisions.

Seitz v. Brewers' Refrigerating Machine Co.Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Seitz v. Brewers' Refrigerating Machine Co., 141 U.S. 510 (1891)
Seitz v. Brewers' Refrigerating Machine Company
No. 81
Argued October 29, 1891
Decided November 9, 1891
When a contract is couched in terms which import a complete legal obligation, with no uncertainty as to the object or extent of the engagement, it is, in the absence of fraud, accident or mistake, conclusively to be presumed that the whole engagement of the parties and the extent and manner of their undertaking were reduced to writing.
Whether the written contract in this case fully expressed the terms of the agreement between the parties was a question for the court, and silence on a point that might have been embodied in it does not open the door to parol evidence in that regard.
When a known, described and definite article is ordered of a manufacturer, although it be stated by the purchaser to be required for a particular purpose, yet if the known, described, and definite thing be actually supplied, there is no warranty that it shall answer the particular purpose intended by the buyer.
The case was stated by the court as follows:
This was an action brought by the Brewers' Refrigerating Machine Company against Michael Seitz upon the following contract:
"This agreement, made this 11th day of January, A.D. 1879, between the Brewers' Refrigerating Machine Company of Alexandria, Va., party of the first part, and Michael Seitz, of Brooklyn, N.Y., party of the second part, witnesseth that the party of the first part hereby agrees and contracts to supply the party of the second part with a No. 2 size refrigerating machine, as constructed by the said party of the first part, by the 15th day of March next, or as soon thereafter as possible, the machine to be delivered at the depot or wharf in Philadelphia, Penn., and to be put up and put in operation in the brewery of the said party of the second part at 258-264 Maujer Street at Brooklyn, E.D., N.Y., under the superintendence
of a competent man furnished by the said party of the first part. The party of the second part hereby agrees and contracts to pay to the said party of the first part for said machine the sum of nine thousand four hundred and fifty dollars ($9,450.00) in manner as follows, namely, four thousand seven hundred and twenty-five dollars ($4,725.00) on the day when the machine is put in operation at the brewery of the said party of the second part, and the balance of four thousand seven hundred and twenty-five dollars ($4,725) in three equal installments; that is to say, one thousand five hundred and seventy-five dollars ($1,575.00) for each installment, payable, respectively, in one, (1), two, (2), and three (3) months after the day when the machine is put in operation at the brewery of the said party of the second part, for which installments the said party of the second part agrees and contracts to give his notes on the day last mentioned."
The complaint, after setting forth the execution of the contract on the 11th of January, A.D. 1879, alleged compliance therewith in every respect by the plaintiff, and breach of the promise to pay the purchase price.
The defendant stated in his answer, among other things,
"that the machine placed in defendant's brewery was worthless, and incapable of operating to produce the results represented by plaintiff to this defendant as an inducement to enter into the aforesaid agreement; that said machine has not been accepted by this defendant, nor operated, or attempted to be operated, by defendant, his agents, employees, nor any other person acting by or under his authority, and did not pass out of the control of the plaintiff; nor has the said machine been used by him in his said brewery, because said machine was worthless, and incapable of serving any useful purpose therein."
And defendant also averred, by way of counterclaim, that he had sustained damages by reason of false and fraudulent representations by plaintiff as to what the machine would accomplish, in reliance upon which he had permitted his brewery to be subjected to the action of said machine, and suffered loss accordingly.
Upon the trial before the circuit judge and a jury, plaintiff proved that a No. 2 size refrigerating machine, as constructed by the Brewers' Refrigerating Machine Company, was supplied defendant, and put up and put in operation in his brewery by it in accordance with the terms of the contract.
Defendant thereupon asked to amend his answer, "to set up that defendant entered into that contract by reason of fraudulent representations on the part of this company." The amendment was allowed, and was in substance that plaintiff represented that the machine was capable of cooling certain rooms in the brewery which had been examined by plaintiff; but the machine, when set up and operated, was not so capable, and failed to perform the work for which, upon the representations of the plaintiff, the machine had been contracted for by defendant; that defendant contracted to purchase the machine upon the guarantee by plaintiff to defendant that it would cool certain rooms, and it was upon that guarantee alone that defendant entered into the contract; that defendant entered into the contract upon the representations of the plaintiff to the effect that the No. 2 machine referred to in the contract set forth in the complaint would cool and was capable of cooling a space of 150,000 cubic feet of air continuously to a temperature sufficiently low for the purpose of brewing or manufacturing beer in the defendant's brewery or premises, that is to say, to a temperature in the neighborhood of 40

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Ghosts beware -- Dan Aykroyd is in San Diego!
The actor was at the BevMo! in La Mesa signing bottles of Crystal Head Vodka. He is a spokesperson for the award-winning liquor that comes in a bottle shaped like a skull.
"It's not only the beautiful, unique bottle that brings home the legend of the crystal heads. That is enlightened drinking, positive thinking. The Mayans, the Navajo, the Aztecs, all were suppose to have one of these devices that works like a crystal ball. A device to see the future," said Aykroyd.
Up next, Aykroyd is rumored to star in the highly-anticipated third installment to the Ghostbusters franchise.

Facebook Home Sneak Peek
April 4, 2013 | Posted By: Bryan Marsden | Categorized in: Technology
Facebook debuted Facebook Home today, and its not the phone that everyone anticipated. Its essentially an app that overlays on top of an existing Android operating system, also known in the geek world as a skin. Think of it like HTCs sense overlay, and youll know what I am talking about. Facebook Home aims to put your Facebook social network, and your friends ahead of your current app based home screen, and it does it in a big way. Here is a sneak peek of a couple of my favorite features.
First, your normal home screen and background with a bunch of apps on it are totally gone. In its place is called the Coverfeed, which shows status updates, photos of friends, and other updates that you want, presented in a slideshow that you can swipe through. This allows you to flip through your friends' Facebook updates and photos, and "like" or "comment" on each slide. That isnt to say you cant get to your apps. A photo of your head appears at the bottom, and when you press and hold on it, a couple of menus surround it. Slide it to the app launcher and it takes you to an app page that allows you to launch your other apps. Functionality wise it may take some getting used to, but it does what it's supposed to do, making it easy to keep up on your what your friends and family are up to.
Secondly, my favorite feature is called Chat Heads. It rolls Facebook messages, and SMS into one seamless messaging system. A small picture of one of your friends head is put on the screen. Those pictures can be dragged around your screen, and placed wherever you want. When that person messages you, you are notified on that person's Chat Head. The best part is that it doesn't matter if you are in another app; the Chat Head overlays on the top of any app you have open. So you can be reading an article online, and if you friends message you, you can click on the head and open up the messaging window. Once you are done, click on the head again, and you are back to what you were reading. If you have more than one Chat Head on your screen, you can move seamlessly between them, which will allow you to hold conversations with multiple people at the same time. The main focus of this feature is for you to feel like your friends were there, no matter what you were doing at the time. In my opinion Facebook nailed it.

text: Burberry creative director Christopher Bailey is edging closer and closer to that Burberry Prorsum logo (a medieval knight on a horse). One hour ago, the Queen's 2009 birthday honours list was announced and Bailey, who joined the iconic British luxury house in 2001, has just been welcomed into the Order of the British Empire as a Member, for services to the British fashion industry. Bailey has a couple of rungs to go on the British order of chivalry before he is eligible to be knighted. But with a few more excellent Burberry collections under his belt, not to mention some more genius campaign casting, there may be no stopping him (well, unless he's a republican). Also just uploaded: a behind-the-scenes video of the making of Burberry's F/W 09/10 collection which stars Harry Potter star Emma Watson. The campaign was shot on the banks of the Thames in London, adjacent to Burberry's HQ, which is staffed by 800 across admin, design/photo studios and a cafe. The Watson get, and MBE, are good news for the 153 year-old company in the tough economic climate, which saw Burberry post a loss of 6 million pounds in the year ended March 31st. Also just awarded an MBE: Natalie Massenet, founder of e-tailer Net-à-Porter.com, which sells Burberry (among many other luxury brands) - but conversely experienced a 234percent profit hike in 2008.

Bail for man accused of sexually touching child
5:30am Wednesday 21st May 2014 in News
A man who is accused of sexually touching a 13-year-old boy has been released on bail by a judge.
Pascoal D'Souza is also said to have caused a child to look at images of a person engaging in sexual activity.
The two offences are said to have taken place on consecutive days in mid-November last year.
No charges were formally put to the 38-year-old and he did not enter any pleas during the brief hearing at Swindon Crown Court.
D'Souza, of Graham Street, had the assistance of an interpreter in Konkani, a language from the Goa region of India.
Judge Tim Mousley QC released him on bail to Friday, July 25 on condition he does not go to The Vine church in Swindon or reside in a house with children.

The Things They Cannot Say (eBook)
The Things They Cannot Say (eBook)
What is it like to kill? What is it like to be under fire? How do you know what's right? What can you never forget?
In The Things They Cannot Say, award-winning journalist and author Kevin Sites asks these difficult questions of eleven soldiers and marines, who—by sharing the truth about their wars—display a rare courage that transcends battlefield heroics.
For each of these men, many of whom Sites first met while in Afghanistan and Iraq, the truth means something different. One struggles to recover from a head injury he believes has stolen his ability to love; another attempts to make amends for the killing of an innocent man; yet another finds respect for the enemy fighter who tried to kill him. Sites also shares the unsettling narrative of his own failures during war—including his complicity in a murder—and the redemptive powers of storytelling that saved him from a self-destructive downward spiral.
About the Author
Kevin Sites has spent the past seven years covering global war and disasters for several national networks, including NBC, ABC, and CNN, and has helped pioneer solo journalism, traveling to and reporting from some of the world's most dangerous places. He is a recipient of the 2006 Daniel Pearl Award for Courage and Integrity in Journalism. When not on assignment, he makes his home in southern California.
Praise for The Things They Cannot Say…
"Riveting and emotionally raw...These gripping stories...are evidence of a profound desire to heal."
-Publishers Weekly
"In sensitive, honest prose, the author emphasizes that this is a book about hope. An important book for warriors and the communities that send them to war."
-Kirkus Reviews

After propane prices shot up this month many families are struggling to pay their heating bill. Salvation Army officials say they're not just those with low income even middle class families are having trouble paying a bill they had no idea was going to be so high.
Kayla Korynta heats her house in grand forks with propane. "Either we need to turn out heat way down or we need to find a way to pay," She says. But, over the last couple months she says the price has gotten so high it's about the same price as her mortgage payment.
"I don't know what we would do to be perfectly honest," says Korynta, "If it stays this way and it keeps getting high I would be at the point where we would by a new house."
Tai Clark over at Salvation Army has heard the stories. "Seeing the increase in costs has definitely caused a hardship on the families that we serve," says Clark.
Their heating assistance program helps families that can't foot the bill this year they have seen more people in need, causing the Salvation Army to burn through their funds in certain counties.
"Thankfully, our regional headquarters sent us an email," says Clark, "They were able to allocate an additional hundred thousand dollars across the state of Minnesota to focus on propane and fuel costs rising."
But many families still can't afford to heat their homes, but if you can The Salvation Army is asking for your help.
"Anyone that has been outside this winter it's a luxury that some of us have," says Clark, "Being able to go home to a warm house, so keep in mind that there are some of us that are really struggling."
People who heat their house with propane say the prices vary depending on where they buy it. But just to give you an idea, last year at this time in Grand Forks propane was around $1.25 a gallon, and now it's about $5.25 a gallon.

Hello Islanders fans! Pretty good weekend of games. Wish we could have won the shootout yesterday, but getting a point against the Devils right now is pretty darn good! On to the post....
Just wanted to give a very BIG thank you to Evgeni Nabokov to sticking it to the Islanders. If he reported we would have never traded for Al Montoya and we would not be seeing what looks to be the BEGINNING of a nice career; instead we would be seeing the END of Nabokov's career!
Thanks Evgeni!

Media That Hate Money in Politics and Citizens United Ruling LOVE Clooney's Obama Fundraiser
For months, the Obama-loving media have been carping and whining about all the money going to conservative Super PACs in the wake of the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling back in 2010.
Yet as you can see from the following segment on MSNBC's Martin Bashir show Thursday, the press are giddy over the prospect the president will raise up to $15 million at actor George Clooney's campaign event later this evening (video follows with transcript and commentary):
MARTIN BASHIR: The president as we've just said has landed in, on the west coast. He's going to this fundraiser which is being hosted by George Clooney. They expect to raise anywhere between 12 and 15 million. I mean, I guess the president is hoping that this kind of effort is going to make up the difference because of Romney's benefit through Super PACs and the power of those. Do you think it will these fundraisers?
JOY-ANN REID, GRIO.COM: Well, I think especially since the president has now come out in favor of gay marriage. I think that he has a lot better shot at solidifying what had been sort of somewhat tepid support from liberals. And Hollywood is full of nothing if not liberals. And these folks had, you know, they liked Obama. But other than Clooney, who's been very enthusiastic about the president, there have been a lot of disappointment that he hadn't said the words on gay marriage. Now that he has, you're seeing this sort of springboard of enthusiasm coming out of Hollywood…
BASHIR: Right.
REID: …which could be very helpful to the campaign.
Interesting that no one suggested that this might have been the reason Obama "evolved" on this issue roughly 24 hours prior to Clooney's event.
So much for "enquiring minds." But I digress:
BASHIR: Indeed. Joe, admittedly George Clooney is no Ted Nugent, but Republicans are continuing to smear the president as a hollow celebrity as we saw with that ad produced by American Crossroads. But I guess that's inevitable is it not because they have to attack the president because their own candidate has about as much charisma as a stem of wilting asparagus, doesn't he?
Readers are reminded that Bashir represents a so-called "news network." But I once again digress:
JOE WILLIAMS, POLITICO: Well, we're talking about a very clear charisma gap here. I mean, talk about enthusiasm gap. I mean, charisma factors into enthusiasm, and one of the things that Joy-Ann kind of put her finger on here about the Hollywood fundraiser is you got a lot of celebrities out there. Matt Damon was one of them who expressed disappointment in President Obama's evolution stance, and now he's probably going to go all in. George Clooney has been a staunch supporter. So has a lot of the producers, David Geffen and so forth who take LGBT issues very, very seriously. So I think it's a good move. It comes at the right time. He's going to need something to inject fresh air and get some momentum going on a campaign that's going to have to run on kind of a mixed economic record at best, but certainly this could give some energy and fresh life and people something to look forward to and get excited about.
BASHIR: Dana, Joe's positive about that, but is there not the possibility that hobnobbing with these, you know, superlatively wealthy individuals can make the president perhaps seem a little out of touch with ordinary people?
Was Bashir injecting some balance into this discussion? Perish the thought:
DANA MILBANK, WASHINGTON POST: Well, of course that's the danger, Martin, and inevitably you're going to hear about the Hollywood liberal attack, but there are 15 million good reasons for Obama to do this.
[Audible laughter from Bashir and Williams]
MILBANK: Politics is all about money, and he's got to go where the money is.
BASHIR: Indeed.
As such, it's not the money in politics that bothers liberal media members or they'd all be opposed to this Obama fundraiser Clooney is throwing which apparently is going to set a record for dollars brought in at one campaign event.
No, what offends them is that there are people who give to Republican candidates and conservative causes.
That's just got to be stopped because it's corrupting politics.

glad Mr. Bashir clarified that I am among the "ordinary" people. What pompous hypocrites these slobbering Obamabots are! They gripe and moan about Republicans making money, but get absolutely giddy over Obama's prospects of raking in millions from his sycophants in the land of fruits and nuts. There is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that he chose this moment to complete his "evolution." It was just in time to fill up his piggy bank in Hollywood. And, for the record, Mr. Bashir, Barack Hussein Obama will NEVER be in touch with me.

Hay, George, are you going to write this off as a tax deduction? Those "events' aren't cheap, not by a long shot!
What's that, a tax exempt origination, Obama election committee, is covering all the expenses? Well, isn't that wonderful! You get to boast about how you had the President at your house and it didn't cost you a dime! I'll remember that the next time you claim that you're willing to pay higher taxes while the President walks away with yet another 15 million dollars, tax free!

A Brookhaven grandmother says her grandchildren are being singled out and bullied and attacked by other children in the neighborhood.
Linda Henry says a group called Skullhead, a.k.a. 900, have jumped on the children several times, and she can't get law enforcement or school officials to help.
Octaves Henry says Skullhead is a gang, and because he won't join, he is being targeted. Members of Skullhead say they're the victims being targeted by the Henrys.
Police Chief Arlustra "Pap" Henderson says the problem is not one sided between the feuding groups and that several parents on both sides have been instigating the clashes, including Linda Henry.
Chief Henderson says he plans to hold a meeting with the school officials Monday to discuss ways to resolve the altercations.

In just a few days, early voting for the primary elections will begin. While we can see a blessed end to the incessant politicking, right now it's just gearing up to hit a crescendo in the fall. Come November, I will no longer come home to nine voicemail messages from robodials (do people actually listen to those things?), I won't have to wonder how I got on an e-mail list for someone running in Sierra Vista, and my mailbox will once again be blissfully empty.
And I'm a political junkie.
Trust me, there are few people who enjoy a political and philosophical discussion more than I do. Pick a side, and I'll take the opposite side, and through the discussion we'll be able to flesh out our respective opinions and identify holes in arguments. But this constant attack mode is exhausting and drags everyone down in the mud. Is it any wonder that voter turnout is pitifully low?
And then there are my FaceBook "friends." Good Lord, folks, do you teach your kids to talk that way? If you want to attach something that you support, good for you, but nothing hateful, please.
A lot has been made of the "pledge" to not raise taxes driven by Grover Norquist. I propose a new pledge for both voters and candidates:
• I pledge to believe that those who disagree with me are good people.
• I pledge to understand that someone who disagrees with me is not out to get me.
• I pledge not to judge soundbites, but to determine the full context of a statement.
• I pledge to acknowledge that just because you don't support one candidate (or congressman or president) it doesn't mean you like his/her opponent/predecessor.
• I pledge to show respect to the office and whoever holds it, even though I may be working the other side of an issue.
• I pledge not to say anything about a candidate that I wouldn't want said about my mother or child.
• I pledge not to use "the other candidate started it" as an excuse for my own behavior.
• I pledge not to do anything I berated another administration or candidate for doing.
• I pledge to recognize the difference between flip-flopping and having a reasoned change of opinion based on information and experience.
• I pledge to acknowledge that compromise does not mean having everyone agree with you, and that voting with another party takes courage and is not caving.
• I pledge to realize that legislation is often so complex that there are multiple understandable reasons to oppose it.
• I pledge to prove wrong the people who say that going negative works.
I'll be the first to sign.

First it was Fielder, now it is Hart, and Braun's name has been mentioned once or twice along the way. The Giants are looking for a #3 or #4 hitter to match with Aubrey Huff as they look to push to the playoffs for the first time since 2003. The Brewers are looking to deal a #3 or #4 hitter and gain pitching for the future as they retool and reload. Any Giant's fan would clearly love to have any one of the Brewers three sluggers on the team, at the right price of course. Three of the Giants five starters have been linked to the Brewers at some point Sanchez, Bumgarner, and Cain could all potentially be dealt in some sort of package with prospect. So that leaves the question, what is the right price and at what point should the Giants walk away.
Well in my humble opinion Fielder and Braun are both going to be unreasonably expensive, Braun will cost to much in terms of talent and Fielder would not only cost pitching but also potentially 25 million a year to resign when he is a free agent at the end of 2011, and do we really want to be caught with a massive contract with a guy who could have a short career due to weight issues.
To me the only real target on the Brewers is Corey Hart and the question of how much he is worth has to have two parts to it. First off how much talent should the Giants sacrifice and also when Hart is a free agent at the end of 2011 how much is it going to be worth for the Giants to resign him. Hart is having a career year, which means that his trade value is at an all time high, the Brewers realize this, which makes a trade even more likely. You have to remember as well that players coming off of big years want big contracts and if he keeps it up through next season Corey will be no exception. The Giants have paid significant amounts of money for players that have gone on to have significant drops in production, Bary Zito being the prime example, so if Hart were to be a free agent at the end of this season and kept up his current production I would assume that he would get a deal in the 6 year 100 million range if not higher. Honestly I would not want to pay that after just one monster season but the good news is that the Giants will have Hart under contract for another season to see if this is a fluke. If I were Sabean I would want to talk to Hart's agent and see what he is thinking in terms of contract before I do anything.
It is important to remember that Sabean is looking to get another contract himself, which makes a deal far more likely. Although Sabean has hit big in the draft with pitching an pulled the trigger on a great pickup of Aubrey Huff he has also given out many contracts to injury prone players past there prime. Yes I mean Renteria, DeRosa, and Rowand. In order to secure his job for next season and beyond he must secure a playoff spot for the Giants for the first time since 2003. Personally I think the best trade target for the Giants at this point would be Adam Dunn but assuming we go after Hart what is the most you would give up in terms of prospects? Personally I'd deal Jonathan Sanchez and Bowker plus a few prospects like Tommy Joseph who is expendable with Posey at catcher and a pitcher who the Brewers are interested in.

A man swimming across Lake Pontchartrain finished the journey that he began Wednesday night.
Matt Moseley was swimming from the south shore to the north shore to celebrate the Lake's recovery and honor the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation's 25th anniversary.
The 47-year-old Moseley began his 26-mile swim at the new Canal Lighthouse with the wind at his back. His team cheered him along as he made his way across the water to the north shore.
Moseley has been training for the swim for the past six months. He was in the water for 15 hours, reaching his goal around noon on Thursday.
Moseley said he plans on eating a soft-shell crab po-boy and crawfish. He drank a Coke when he made it to shore.
Moseley used English Channel regulations to swim, meaning he could not have any kind of assistance or flotation device. And as far as anyone with the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation can remember, Moseley is the first person to swim across the lake.

Part of the joy that comes with being a music writer is the joy of discovering the best new bands and musicians. It happens when you least expect it. That's how I was introduced to Jake Bugg.
While the 19-year-old troubadour has been making headlines in his native England. Until recently, he was barely noticed in the States, outside of teenaged girls who are fans of One Direction. Why would this happen? Well, taking cues from someone who knows a thing or two about feuds and a lad he opened for, Noel Gallagher, Bugg has called the boy band terrible, which has earned him scorn from said fans, and praise from pretty much everyone else. In addition, his antics and whom he happens to date (supermodels in case you were wondering) has become tabloid fodder in England.
So, why is there so much fuss about a kid who grew up in a Nottingham housing project? For starters, his music kicks some serious ass. Having just seen him wow people at Coachella this past weekend, Bugg's cross between the attitude of '90s Brit pop and old fashioned folk/country music is unlike anything else that's out there right now. It's almost like someone put Oasis, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash in a blender and out came Jake Bugg. This may sound like a bold statement, but it's certainly closer to the truth than any other superlative could be.
Born Jacob Edwin Kennedy in 1994 to parents who were musicians, the singer/songwriter adopted his father's first name as his last when embarking on his musical journey. He first picked up a guitar when he was 12, but it wasn't his parents who gave the instrument to him, but his uncle. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Bugg said that what first got him inspired was of all things, hearing Don McLean's "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)" on an episode of The Simpsons. He's cited his influences ranging from The Beatles to The Everly Brothers and Johnny Cash to Jimi Hendrix, along with Layne Staley (of Alice in Chains). That's as eclectic of a mix of rock icons one will come across, yet those sounds can be heard in his music.
Since the beginning of 2012, Bugg has appeared on Later… with Jools Holland; toured with the aforementioned Gallagher; supported Mancunian pop icons/controversial Coachella headliners the Stone Roses, Lana Del Rey and Example; and yes, been praised for his music and for taking on One Direction. He was also selected by the BBC to perform on their stage at Glastonbury and his music has been licensed to a beer commercial.
No matter how you cut it, Jake Bugg has a lot going for him right now. He has the right mix of persona, stage show and songs that should make him a fixture with music fans for years to come.
