He played in the last eight games of the regular season and had an interception in overtime against Pittsburgh in the penultimate week.

Before the real thing starts I give you my final attempt at clarvoiance.
Starting assumptions:
1. Ike Taylor is retained. I don't think other teams are going to throw huge sums of $ at a 30 year old CB who though the best on our team isn't considered a top CB around the league. I don' t thing he will get any offers substantially better than what he is offered by the Steelers.
2. Willie Colon is retained. Similar to Ike I don't see teams throwing significantly greater $ at Colon than the Steelers will. Especially coming off a missed season due to an Achilles tear which may not be completely healed yet. Couple that with him being an above average RIGHT tackle I can't see him getting huge $.
Trades the Steelers make:
1. Trade #31 and #95 to New Orleans for # 24 pick. This is only a 20 point difference in value and NO gains another 3rd round pick. This trade only takes place if Mike Pouncey is available. This trade is forced by the terrible news of Marcus Cannon being diagnosed with lymphoma. Otherwise I would have the Steelers trade down and take Cannon in round 2 to be our starting RG and pick up another later round pick.
2. Trade #63 to New England for # 74 and #124. NE has many picks and is going to be looking to lose picks to move up (quality over quantity) so they can make another run with Brady et. al. This gains them another 2nd round pick which could be a starter vs. depth people they would get later considering the higher picks they have.
3.. Trade #127 to Seattle for #154 and #198. Seattle moves up into 4th round to get better while the Steelers move back to gain an additional pick.
Will all these trades take place. Hell no this is more trades than the Steelers make in a decade. But hey this is my mock so here goes with the picks.
Rd 1. #24 - Mike Pouncey OL Florida - No real reason to spend time defending this pick as everybody reading this already know about him and the benefits he would bring.
Rd 3 #74 - Davon House CB NMST - Speed and size identical to Ras-I Dowling but without the injury history. The problem is he hasn't faced the competition Ras-I did and so he may take some time to develop. He could make a living for 2 year as a dime/nickle back and special teamer them move into the starting lineup.
Rd 4 # 124 - Lawrence Guy DT Arizona State - Big strong DT who will probably move to DE in the Steelers 3-4. Follows the same track as Ziggy with little playing time as a rookie then gradually moving into the rotation and eventually replacing either Kissel or Smith.
Rd 5 #153 - Marcus Gilchrist CB/S Clemson - DB who played both CB and Safety in college and returned punts so is a good special teamer. Probably won't be a starter but can come in and replace Clark at safety in obvious passing situations to give better coverage in the middle of the field.
Rd 5 #159 - Ricardo Lockett WR Fort Valley St - Ran same 40 time as Julio Jones (4.34) at 6'2" and 211 pounds. Could develop into a big fast receiver to complement the water bugs we now have.
Rd 6 # 191 - Steve Friday DL Virginia Tech - Speedy DE who will convert to OLB in the 3-4. Coming from VT you know he is well coached in special teams play so he can make his living there to start and move into the rotation in 2 years.
Rd 7 # 198 - Best available place kicker - I am not usually one to draft PK but with the extra Seattle pick lets get somebody worth something. If Henry or Forbath is there then all the better. If not then whomever is available lets take a shot.
Rd 7 3 223 - Anthony Gray NT Southern Miss - The more I read about him the better I like him. Though only 5'11" he weighs in at 330 pounds and still had excellent numbers (5.15 40, 31.5-inch vertical, 4.61 short shuttle) and put up 39 reps at his pro day. He is obviously a Hampton replacement that I hope can make the team so he isn't poached off the practice squad.
Well there it is. Just in time for the draft.
Quick somebody run this in to Colbert so he know what to do this weekend.
Have a great time watching the draft and here is knowing the braintrusts will do what is in the Steelers best interest.

November 1959 American Modeler[Table of Contents]
Aircraft modeling has undergone significant changes over the decades - both in technology and preferences. Magazines like American Aircraft Modeler, and American Modeler before that, were the best venues for capturing snapshots of the status quo of the day. Still, many things never change, so much of the old content is relevant to today's modeler.

On the one hand, this is a pretty dour Thanksgiving. Iran has just won an enormous diplomatic victory, which not only sets them on the road to nuclear weapons but makes the fecklessness of the Western powers clear to the world. Harry Reid's decision to destroy the filibuster signals an escalation in the ugliness of American politics. And let's not forget that we're still mired in a recovery that's looking more like the new normal with each passing week. Humbug.
But at least we've got Obamacare! Over the last several years the Republican party has proved inept at making a coherent, sustained argument either for conservative principles or against the perils of modern liberalism. They haven't even been capable of making effective arguments against the single most consequential—and unpopular!—piece of legislation in a generation: Obamacare. I don't want to name names, but the most important Republican figure of the last four years didn't even want to talk about Obamacare during the 2012 election. Yet now that we actually have Obamacare in action, conservatism is no longer at the mercy of the Republican party. Because Americans now get to see first hand. And the argument makes itself.This argument isn't just about the duplicity and hubris of Barack Obama. It's not even limited to the competence and trustworthiness of the Democratic party. It's about the civil compact, the nature of government, and the perfectibility of the kingdom of man.Reagan himself couldn't have made a better case for conservative ideas than Obamacare is making daily. So, just for one day, let's be thankful for it.
Could the focus on Obamacare in the last couple of weeks before Tuesday's Virginia gubernatorial election enable the Republican nominee, Ken Cuccinelli, to come from behind in the homestretch? He's run a pretty awful campaign so far, and has been trailing badly for months, but ...

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is out, today, with her first book. In his Politico Playbook, Mike Allen calls it a "D.C. Must-Read." Which, if true, is the most depressing news to come out of the Imperial City so far this week. But, then, it is only Tuesday.
Democratic senator Heidi Heitkamp "is ready to take on President Obama over the long-delayed approval for the Keystone XL Pipeline — and she predicts her side will prevail," according to USA Today.
Sunday was September 15. It's an important anniversary, because it's the day that gave us President Barack Obama.
Louisiana Senate Democrat Mary Landrieu is doubling down on her support for Obamacare. She says, if a vote for Obamacare were held tomorrow, she'd again vote to support the bill.
"No more free riders. Everybody has to share responsibility so we can keep a healthy work force and keep it strong. And I can give you more information about it. If I had to vote for the bill again, I'd vote for it tomorrow. There are a lot of good things about this bill," said Landrieu.
Portland is nothing if not tolerant. The picturesque city in the Pacific Northwest has, in recent years, endured one mayor who admitted to a gay affair with an underage intern, a different mayor who claimed residency in Washington state (where there is no income tax) yet voted in Oregon, not to mention downtown streets choked with aggressive transients. (Oh, and the weather's not great either.) But a new scandal must be trying the patience of even the most forgiving denizens of Portlandia.
In 2005, Harry Reid said, "I would never, ever consider breaking the rules to change the rules. I never suggested that at all. I say to my friend, I want to work something out. I repeat that for probably the fifth time here today, but in the process we cannot give up the basic rights this country and this Senate have had for more than 200 years."
A new poll from Suffolk University finds Democratic congressman Ed Markey with a seven-point lead ahead of this month's special election for the U.S. Senate in Massachsuetts. In a survey of 500 likely voters, Markey received 48 percent support, while his Republican opponent, businessman and retired Navy SEAL Gabriel Gomez, received 41 percent support.
At a Democratic fundraiser in Palo Alto, California, President Barack Obama described himself as a common sense Democrat.
While traveling to New Jersey today, President Barack Obama stiffed the Democratic opponent of Republican governor Chris Christie. Obama did not meet privately with Barbara Buono, the Democratic candidate. But he did walk along the Jersey Shore boardwalk with Christie.
Via the pool report:
Democratic congressman Stephen Lynch says "there will be hell to pay" if IRS doesn't fully cooperate with Congress, and suggests he might support a "special prosecutor":
Democratic senator Joe Manchin calls the IRS's activities "unacceptable and un-American."
""The actions of the IRS are unacceptable and un-American. Government agencies using their bureaucratic muscle to target Americans for their political beliefs cannot be tolerated. The President must immediately condemn this attack on our values, find those individuals in his Administration who are responsible and fire them," says the West Virginia Democratic senator.
Democratic senator Joe Manchin said he'd "absolutely" bring the gun control measures that failed in the Senate back for another vote:
"This not only protects your Second Amendment rights, it expands your Second Amendment rights," Manchin said, talking up the failed legislation. He said he believes it can pass if people "read the bill."
The 2012 national election continues to be a puzzle. Barack Obama won reelection with a solid 51 percent of the vote, and Democrats picked up 2 Senate seats, expanding their majority to 55-45. Yet the House of Representatives remained in Republican control, 234-201, yielding the divided government we have today.

Rutland, Vermont -- July 26, 2007
21-year-old Brent Poczobut did not speak at his arraignment which lasted only a couple of minutes. Friends and family who were on hand also left the court with no comment on the three charges Poczobut faces.
"Leaving the scene of an accident with a fatality, gross and negligent operation with a fatality, and another leaving the scene," said Detective Sergeant Reg Trayah of the Vermont State Police.
The accident happened on the Thrall Road bridge in East Poultney around 9:30 Wednesday morning. According to court papers, the victim was out for his daily walk. Police say Paul Delorenzi was struck by vehicle as he crossed the bridge on his way home. The 74-year-old was transported to the hospital in Rutland where he was pronounced dead from blunt force trauma. Court papers also state that witnesses saw a silver colored truck speeding away from the scene.
"Witnesses at the scene gave us a very brief description of the vehicle, and then later on we received information later in the day that the suspected vehicles could be located at residence in Middletown Springs," Trayah said.
Detectives found the truck and Poczobut at that residence in Middletown Springs-- a friends house. Police say the damage to the vehicle was consistent with debris left on the bridge. The affidavit also states that more than one witness saw Poczobut crash the truck into parked cars and a mailbox just after hitting Delorenzi.
Poczobut's lawyer told the judge that he takes medication for a neck injury suffered two years ago. Sources tell channel three that injury happened during a motor vehicle accident. However, at this time, it is unknown if the medication, alcohol, or other drugs, played a factor in the crash.
"We are still working of the investigation so we are not releases any of that information until toxicology and stuff like that are completed," Trayah said.
Poczobut did not enter a plea at the hearing. Instead, he invoked his 24 hour rule and is due back in court on Friday to face charges, that if convicted, could land him in jail for the next 15 years.

Titanic violin discovered
9:43am Monday 28th March 2011 in News
The missing violin played by the Titanic's band leader as the ship slowly sank may have been found 99 years on.
Wallace Hartley and his seven band members became part of the Titanic's history when they continued to play while going down with the ship on April 14, 1912.
But now the violin has been found and is undergoing tests at a specialist auction house to test its authenticity.
Experts are so sure the violin is the real deal they are planning to take it on a world tour to mark the 100th anniversary of the liner's sinking.

Nobel Laureate Sir Harry Kroto, the chemist who has helped to develop some of the most important building blocks of nanotechnology, delivered an impassioned and entertaining defense of scientific freedom to an audience of about 500 Wednesday in the Big Blue Room of the Ted Constant Convocation Center.
With sound effects, colorful visuals and no shortage of humor, Kroto took the audience on a whirlwind tour of the discovery of C-60, soccer-ball-like molecules that may someday be used to create materials that will revolutionize electronics and civil engineering.
He won a Nobel Prize for development of the C-60 molecules, but he was quick to point out that this was an accidental, or "left-field discovery." He urged the many students in the audience, including some from middle and high schools, to build a world that believes in free-ranging scientific inquiry. "It is important to do science and recognize what is not discovered through strategic research," he said.
Kroto has recently joined the faculty at Florida State University. A native of England, he was on the faculty of the University of Sussex for 35 years.
The speech, which Kroto titled "2010: NanoSpace Odyssey," was sponsored by Old Dominion University's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Oktay Baysal, dean of the Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology, welcomed the audience and pointed out that Wednesday was an important day in engineering, technology and the sciences at the University. In addition to Kroto's speech, there were two other workshops of major significance in Hampton Roads involving ODU researchers. In Norfolk there was an international workshop with Japanese researchers at the Center for Bioelectrics, and in Hampton, some of the most important national researchers in learning technologies were participating in a workshop at The Center for Advance Engineering Environments.

It's International Women's Day and 20 years of Sailor Moon and I have to, I have to say something about it being my earliest education on what it means to be a woman; that is, whatever the fuck you want it to mean. You want to prescribe to traditional femininity? Go for it. You don't? You're a badass too. Boyfriend, girlfriend, family, none of the above? Comfortable in your fine goddess self? Weak, strong, delicate, butch? Vulnerable, guarded? Still a whole woman.
Sailor Moon is a fuck you to anyone who thinks there is one right way to be a woman, and furthermore that women hold each other back.
Yes gurl PREACH.

Robinson Printing is among the 21 companies recognized by Abbott with its Supplier Excellence Award. These 21 suppliers were chosen from more than 23,000 globally, Abbott reports in a press release on its Web site. Selection was based on performance and continuous improvement in supplying materials, equipment, and services to Abbott, the global healthcare products company reports.
The Carlyle Group has acquired global paper-based packaging supplier Chesapeake from Irving Place Capital and funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, it was reported in a statement. Chesapeake manufactures leaflets, labels, and cartons, primarily for the pharmaceutical, confectionery, and premium drinks industries. With headquarters in Nottingham, UK, the company employs nearly 5000 at 38 facilities in nine countries and had revenues of €580m in 2012.
"We needed to increase the number of languages to address EU regulatory requirements," explains Erin Thompson, associate product manager, IVUS Imaging, for Volcano Corp. "We had to ensure that the new IFUs did not exceed the original weight because any changes could affect the overall package weight, which would require package revalidation. We also weren't changing the IFU content other than having it translated into different languages."
Vijuk Equipment Inc., a provider of insert/outsert leaflet folding equipment for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and small-items packaging markets, has been purchased by GUK–Falzmaschinen of Wellendingen, Germany. The purchase took effect April 1, 2012.
Paperboard packaging supplier Chesapeake Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Packaging has installed a new Alprinta 52 web offset press at its Hicksville, NY, facility. The four–color press, which can run materials up to 20.5 in. wide and 40 in. long, will be used to print patient-information leaflets for the healthcare market. It also features UV curing and a non-stop rewinding unit for re-insertion, giving Chesapeake the capacities to run up to 8 colors.
Clondalkin Pharma & Healthcare, a unit of the Specialist Packaging Division of Clondalkin Group, has established sales and marketing offices in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The company has also signed a long-term manufacturing and marketing agreement with Saint Petersburg-based packaging producer Industry of Colour (Incol). Incol will support Clondalkin with local production and finishing activities.

Miniature Folding Inc., a family-owned commercial and pharmaceutical printer in Elmwood Park, NJ, has purchased a Vijuk MV-11 Triple Knife Outsert System from Vijuk Equipment Inc. (Elmhurst, IL.) Seeing sheet sizes continuing to grow, Miniature Folding Inc. required a larger-format, miniature-folding outsert machine.
"We understand how important it is to recognize trends and make correct purchases when it comes to adding equipment that best serves our clients," explained operations manager Joseph Taliercio, in a press release.

During the CBA negotiations, Mark was adamant about several things. He was not happy with this CBA, and voted against it. Mark probably thought that all other owners will follow his suit in free agency, because he is so much smarter(in his mind) than the rest of them. To be fair, Mark and Donnie are regarded as a smart front office for the Mavs in the media. I am not sure if that is the perception within the league executives as well or not.
Mark thought the owners would hold out on the players, offer them slim contracts for 1 and 2 years. It would be a real buyer's market in free agency. Besides D-Will no other player would be getting max offers. Players would sign to sensible short term contracts.
But that did not happen. CBA or no CBA, the owners/GMs wanted to improve their teams. They made aggressive offers to players, while Mark kept yelling and screaming "Salary Cap", "Financial Flexibility!!!", "CBA!!!", "Luxury Tax!!!" until he was blue in the face.
No one else cares that much about the CBA and what will happen in the future, most owners are super rich guys who run these teams to win, and not necessarily make money. So what if they have to take a loss some years, this is not their source of income. Mark used to be that owner who would do everything and anything to win. Bad contract, no problem, luxury tax, no biggie, financial flexibility, what the hell is that?
Now, for whatever reason finance is all he seems to be concerned about. Filming Shark Tank instead of recruiting the free agents for the team, no media interviews, not a peep from Donnie either. For some reason I feel that maybe Mark has lost money on some other ventures, and is being conservative. Ala Tom Hicks, for the Rangers. I could be wrong but that is just speculation on my part.
Who knows, all I see is the reluctance to pay money and apprehension to take risks.
Now that no one followed Mark's 'advice' he is staying pat just so he can say "I told you so" in a couple of years when the luxury tax hits some of these teams.
The only problem with this logic is that by then Dirk will be past his prime. Probably even traded from the Mavericks. The 'Financial Flexibility' won't do us a lick of good without Dirk.
As a fan, I care about the team, I really feel that we should maximize the last 2-3 good years that are left in Dirk. I am all for rebuilding and fiscal responsibility, but not while Dirk is still a premier player. Think about it from Dirk's perspective, all the guys that he has been playing with for the last several years are gone. The team would not be a lot of fun when you don't have your friends, and you are not even winning. Even Jason Kidd bailed on the Mavs when he saw their reluctance to improve the team. Dirk has a no trade clause, but he could ask to be traded, I would not blame him, rather the blame is on Cuban. Dirk is a unique talent and the best basket ball player that the Mavs have ever had. Misusing him on a 8th seed team is not fair to him, when a lot more can be done.
The Mavs should have taken some risks, even signed some bad contracts to put themselves in a position to contend right now, while Dirk still has a window. Who knows, with a few breaks we could be back in the finals again. They still might sign O.J. Mayo, Chris Kaman, Jose Calderon or Ramon Sessions & Marcus Camby and prove me wrong.
From what I have seen so far, it looks quite unlikely. I hope I am wrong.

Early in the Day
- Fry the bacon for the butter beans.
- Sauté the parsley mixture for the dressing.
- Peel and cut the sweet potatoes and toss with the remaining ingredients.
- Place a second oven rack beneath the roasting pan so the stuffing and sweet potatoes can bake in shifts.
While the Turkey Roasts
- Change your clothes, then pour yourself a glass of wine.
- Assemble the ingredients for the greens and the beans.
- Make the biscuits, the beans, and the greens.
- Designate a turkey carver.
While the Turkey Rests

In December 2010, Sgt. Christopher Hall led an emergency response team at Macon State Prison in central Georgia responding to a fight between an inmate, Terrance Dean, and a guard. Hall's team broke up the fight, handcuffed Dean and took him into the prison gym. Dean emerged with a massive head injury, comatose and clinging to life.
April 8, 2011
A campaign of brutal beatings and withheld medical care continues in the wake of the December 2010 inmate strike in Georgia prisons. Rev. Kenneth Glasgow of The Ordinary Peoples Society is calling for a public hearings into Georgia's troubled prisons.
March 17, 2011
Three months after inmate protests at multiple Georgia prisons, public records have emerged to document the vicious assault and battery committed upon handcuffed prisoner Terrance Dean by correctional officers and supervisors of Macon State Prison.
January 21, 2011
The prison strike has ended in seven Georgia prisons, but organizing is ongoing. The political consequences of their actions could shift politics in Georgia and far beyond the state; thus the strike deserves solidarity from every corner.
January 6, 2011
"Since the start of the Dec. 9 peaceful work stoppage and appeal for reform and respect for human rights, some inmates have been targeted and others have simply disappeared. We are urging the Department of Corrections and Governor-Elect Nathan Deal to act now to halt these unjust practices and treat these men like human beings," said Ed Dubose, President of the NAACP of Georgia.

Irving Oil v. Maine Aviation Download as PDF Wordperfect 3 Back to Opinions page MAINE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURTReporter of Decisions Decision:1998 ME 16 Docket:Cum-97-105 Argued: October 9, 1997 Decided:January 21, 1998 Panel:WATHEN, C.J., and ROBERTS, CLIFFORD, and RUDMAN, JJ.
IRVING OIL CORPORATION v. MAINE AVIATION CORPORATION and THE ESTATE OF JOSEPH CARUSO
WATHEN, C.J. [¶1] Defendants Maine Aviation Corporation (MAC) and the Estate of Joseph Caruso (the Carusos) appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court (Cumberland, Calkins, J.) concluding that they were tenants at will of plaintiff Irving Oil Corporation (Irving) with respect to a leased parcel of land located at the Portland International Jetport. The Superior Court affirmed that part of the District Court's judgment that evicted the Carusos but vacated the order evicting MAC on the basis of improper notice of termination. On appeal, defendants contend that the Superior Court improperly denied them a trial by jury; that the District Court erred in ordering eviction and in rejecting their promissory estoppel and third party beneficiary claims; and, that the Superior Court erred in ordering them to pay rent into an escrow account pending resolution of this appeal. Finding no error in the underlying judgment of eviction, we affirm the Superior Court judgment in part and vacate in part. [¶2] The relevant facts may be briefly summarized as follows: In 1976, MAC entered into a twenty year ground lease with the City of Portland for a parcel of land located at the Portland International Jetport. The written lease, executed on behalf of MAC by corporate President Joseph Caruso, permitted MAC to build an airplane hangar on the leased land provided title was not transferred to any other entity. The lease provided that "[a]ny attempts to transfer title to said hangar, building, and improvements shall cause title ... to pass" to the City. The lease, however, expressly permitted MAC to transfer title to the hangar to either Joseph Caruso or Thomas J. Caruso, who were then directors and stockholders of MAC, provided their interest remained subordinate to the interest of the City. Thereafter, Joseph Caruso and Thomas Caruso formed a partnership, the Caruso Company, and built a hangar. [¶3] Although the hangar was built by the Carusos on MAC's leased land, there is no evidence of any agreement between them and MAC for the use of the land under the hangar. Once constructed, however, MAC rented space in the hangar and paid the Carusos $1500 per month as rental.{1} In 1990, MAC filed a petition for protection in bankruptcy pursuant to Chapter 11. As part of a plan for corporate reorganization, MAC transferred its rights under the City's ground lease to Jet Services Portland, Inc. (JSPI), another corporation owned by the Carusos. MAC, however, continued to occupy the hangar, allegedly pursuant to its rental agreement with the Carusos. In 1994, JSPI filed a petition for protection in bankruptcy pursuant to Chapter 11. The trustee in bankruptcy eventually sold JSPI's interest in the ground lease along with other assets to plaintiff Irving. [¶4] In November 1995, Irving sent a letter to the personal representative of the Estate of Joseph Caruso, giving "formal notice that the hangar must be removed no later than December 31, 1995." Irving sent invoices for ground lease rent to MAC for the months of October, November, and December of 1995 and January and February of 1996. The hangar remained in place, no rent was paid on the ground lease, and in February of 1996, Irving filed this forcible entry and detainer action against both defendants in the District Court. The court entered a judgment evicting both defendants. Defendants appealed to the Superior Court and requested a jury trial. The Superior Court (Bradford, J.) denied their motion for a jury trial, and affirmed the District Court's judgment with respect to the Carusos but vacated it with respect to MAC. The court concluded that Irving had failed to provide the requisite notice of termination to MAC pursuant to 14 M.R.S.A. § 6002 (1980 & Supp. 1997). Defendants now appeal from the judgment of the Superior Court.
[¶5] The procedural rule applicable to actions for forcible entry and detainer allows for a jury trial in the Superior Court on issues "triable of right." M.R. Civ. P. 80(D)(f)(2). The Superior Court denied defendants' request pursuant to M.R. Civ. P. 80(D)(f)(5) because of their failure to demonstrate a genuine issue of material fact. On the record before it, the court did not err in concluding that there were no material facts in dispute and that nothing beyond a review of the legal consequence of the facts presented to the District Court was required. Before this Court, defendants challenge the constitutionality of M.R. Civ. P. 80(D). Because they failed to preserve the issue in the Superior Court, we will not review it on appeal even though it is one of constitutional dimension. See Cyr v. Cyr, 432 A.2d 793, 797 (Me. 1981); Morris v. Resolution Trust Corp., 622 A.2d 708, 714 (Me. 1993) (when a party seeks to raise an issue for the first time on appeal for the purpose of attacking judgment from which it appeals, the party is held to have waived the issue for appellate review because the party failed to submit it for decision at the trial level).
[¶6] With regard to the orders of eviction, we review the judgment of the District Court directly for errors of law, Homestead Enterprises v. Johnson Products, Inc., 540 A.2d 471, 472 (Me. 1988), or clearly erroneous factual findings. Casco Northern Bank v. JBI Associates, Ltd., 667 A.2d 856, 859 (Me. 1995). Initially, defendants contend that factual inaccuracies in the District Court judgment require that it be vacated. Because the findings in question have no effect on the underlying result, the factual errors, if any, are harmless. See L. Ray Packing v. Commercial Union Ins. Co., 469 A.2d 832, 834 (Me. 1983); Bakal v. Weare, 583 A.2d 1028, 1030 (Me. 1990) (we will uphold a decision on appeal even though the lower court's decision was erroneous because there exists another valid rationale to support the judgment). [¶7] Defendants argue that they were subtenants under the original ground lease and accordingly that they are now subtenants of Irving. They contend that they are entitled, without paying rent, to keep the hangar on the leased land until the ground lease, or any extension thereof, is terminated. At a minimum, they contend that their tenancy is at will and that the District Court erred in evicting them because Irving failed to proceed in compliance with 14 M.R.S.A. § 6002. Because of the absence of any written sublease between MAC and defendants, they can claim no estate greater than a tenancy at will. 33 M.R.S.A. § 152 (1988). A tenancy at will, however, cannot be conveyed or assigned; it does not pass with the alienation of the underlying estate. Esty v. Baker, 50 Me. 325, 334 (1862). When title to property occupied by a tenant at will is passed by deed or lease, the tenancy is terminated, Rancourt v. Nichols, 31 A.2d 410, 139 Me. 339 (Me. 1943) and the tenant becomes a tenant at sufferance. A tenant at sufferance is an interest which arises "when one comes into possession by lawful title otherwise than by act of law, but retains such possession longer that he has any right." Cunningham v. Houlton, 55 Me. 33-36 (1869). [¶8] Based on the record before the District Court, it is undisputed that the Carusos never entered into a written lease agreement with MAC, JSPI, any trustee in bankruptcy, or Irving. The District Court correctly concluded that once the rights in the ground lease were sold to Irving, defendants became tenants at sufferance.{2} There is no notice requirement for a party who is a disseisor. See Reed v. Reed, 48 Me. 388 (1853) (a tenant at sufferance is not entitled to notice to quit). Irving's request for forcible entry and detainer was properly granted.
[¶9] During the pendency of these proceedings, Irving filed a motion for a writ of possession to issue. The Superior Court held an evidentiary hearing and conditionally denied Irving's motion for a writ of immediate possession. In return, however, the court ordered defendants to pay $3,000 rent per month, pending appeal, together with "the sum of $7900 representing arrearage from the date of the judgment in the District Court." Payments were to be deposited into an escrow account pursuant to 14 M.R.S.A. § 6008 (1980 & Supp. 1996).{3} Although defendants maintain that the court improperly calculated the fair rental value of the premises, we review only for clear error. See M.R. Civ. P. 52(a); Casco Northern Bank v. JBI Associates, Ltd., 667 A.2d 856, 859 (Me. 1995). Without specific findings of fact, we must assume that the court found for the prevailing party on all factual issues necessary to reach its decision. See Glidden v. Belden, 684 A.2d 1306, 1316 (Me. 1996). The court's order to pay the fair rental value in escrow was not clearly erroneous. The entry is: Judgment of the Superior Court vacated in part. Remanded with instructions to affirm the judgment of the District Court and remand for issuance of a writ of possession.FOOTNOTES******************************** {1} An unsigned copy of a lease of the hangar building running from the partnership to MAC is included in the record. It is fair to assume that income tax considerations may have influenced the ownership structure that the parties attempted to achieve. {2} Defendants argue that Irving's unproductive demands for rent during the first few months of its ownership, serve to create a new tenancy at will. Irving responds with the contention that the invoices were only sent as a temporary accommodation to defendants while bids for the use of the land were being solicited. Because there is no transcript of the evidence in the District Court, we assume that the court found all of the necessary historical facts to sustain its conclusion that defendants remain tenants at sufferance. See Herrick v. Town of Mechanic Falls, 673 A.2d 1348 (Me. 1996). Similarly, defendants' promissory estoppel and third party beneficiary claims are unsupported by the record and must be affirmed on the basis of assumed findings. {3} The statute provides that the "Superior Court may stay an issuance of a writ of possession pending in the disposition of the appeal" from the District Court's judgment. "The Superior Court shall condition the granting and continuation of the stay on the defendant's payment of the current rent for the premises to the plaintiff or, if there is a dispute about the rent, into an escrow account." 14 M.R.S.A. § 6008(2) (1980 & Supp. 1996).

In 1972, 42 states had laws in their constitution that forbid the killing of children in the womb – 42 sates out of 50. At the time that would have been the representative voice of about 220 million people.
However nine judges decided that this majority, or preponderance of voices, should not and would not be heard as they ruled that women may kill their unborn child. So much for majority rule and democracy.
First things first: every nation must secure and control its borders. This is not political rhetoric or an ideological judgment, but a simple geo-political fact.
Whether it's the Ukraine and invading Russians, Japan defending obscure costal islands or ancient Rome resisting Hannibal and his elephants coming over the Alps from Carthage, it is exactly the same. A nation's borders must be secure.

CATEGORIES Animation, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Deals, Warner Brothers, RumorMonger, Movies, CinematicalIt's not as if this is the first time there has been talk of a live-action version of the anime classic Akira. Back in 2003, a script had been written by James Robinson and Stephen Norrington signed to direct -- but that did not last long, and there hasn't been a peep out of the project since ... until now. Bloody Disgusting's sources are reporting that Warner Bros. has not given up yet on the project. Far from it, in fact; they have now hired Irish director Ruairi Robinson to helm the flick. The 29-year-old has only directed two short films so far, one of which got him nominated for an Oscar. But it was his sci-fi short The Silent City starring Cillian Murphy that got the director noticed by WB, according to BD's sources.
Akira was released back in 1988 and was based on the manga series by Katsuhiro Otomo. Based on the original storyline of the comics, Akira centered on a post-nuclear Tokyo overrun with gangs and social unrest. If you haven't seen the film, believe me, it's a pretty complicated storyline and frankly defies a quick summation. But since it is considered one of the best anime films of all time, it's worth your while to give it a viewing. According to BD's report, WB is trying to get the film off the ground pre-strike (which sounds pretty ambitious if you ask me). This is all just speculation at this point, so stay tuned until we hear something official -- or until another four years have gone by and the rumor is resurrected one more time.

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. -- Paradise Valley police have identified a homicide victim found in his home in a gated community and an autopsy shows he likely was stabbed to death.
Police say a personal assistant called 911 after finding the body of Michael Gilman on Tuesday afternoon inside the luxury house.
According to police, the 68-year-old Gilman was only person who lived at the home near 54th Street and Lincoln Drive.
An autopsy report released Friday by the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office says Gilman died from "sharp force injuries" consistent with a stabbing.
Police say the case remains under investigation. There's no immediate word on any possible suspects.

Hated it !!!
Its like spraying highlight all over.
Return for refund.
I listened to the advice of the lady on Dior and purchased this without really testing it first - what a mistake. This is seriously one of the worst things I've ever bought it just does nothing. That is no priming, no colour correcting, no radiance boosting - absolutely zero difference. I have been frantically searching for my receipt to return it, and even without it I think I'll go back just to let them know I'm so annoyed at paying £30 for the worst product ever. I'm going to stop buying Dior as I can't remember the last time I purchased anything decent from them.
In short, I don't love this one. I don't feel like it's doing anything for me. I go into greater detail in the video below if you're interested. :)
continued >>
Obsessed with this product!! I use it as a primer and a setting spray. It's a quick and easy primer that gives my skin a nice glow and eases my foundation application. As a setting spray, it takes down the powdery look and again gives the skin a really pretty glow without looking oily. The only downside is the price, but that's Dior for you I guess... I'm hooked though, would still re-purchase.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Well, we will see how long the can lasts on this. How I use it is I spray this onto a foundation brush and then I press it on to my face. I start in the middle where the large pores are, and I work it in to my skin by pressing my brush with a rolling motion. I don't do more than two sprays. Then, I follow up with foundation. I like it so far. It has a little bit of shimmer (that is probably a strong word) that is very subtle and probably does help minimize imperfections. One of these days, I will try it on just one side of my face and put foundation on my whole face and see if it holds up better and if my pores are minimized. But, for now, I really like it.
This is a gimmick. I love all the other Dior products but this did nothing for me.
At first I wasn't sure about this primer, but it has grown on me. I don't spray it on my face because it is quite messy. I spray it into my hands and pat it on. It's not like most primers that minimize pores, but it gives a nice brightening glow that radiates through your foundation. It's not oily or greasy.
The price is high at $48, but that didn't stop me as long as it worked. I wish it wasn't a spray, but will buy again.
I bought this on a recommendation of a youtuber I like to watch and thought huh? Am I using this wrong? I saw no difference in my skin texture, tone or foundation longevity. The hefty price tag 69$ is not justifiable at all. At that price point I expected something visible. It didn't give me a white cast but also didn't make a difference. Back it goes.

Hungary's Ambassador to the Holy See is rather perplexed by the negative reaction of some European figures and institutions to his country's new Constitution -- a document he sees as offering a possible impetus to a "Christian renaissance" in Europe.
"We think it's a little bit strange to hear such voices," Ambassador Gábor Győriványi told ZENIT March 27th. "The real founding fathers of the European Union planned to base the Union on Christian values, and expressed the notion that European democracy can only be viable if constructed on the Christian basis."
The preamble of the new Constitution, or "Fundamental Law," which came into force Jan. 1, contains references to God, Christianity, and traditional family values. It further stipulates that the life of a fetus be protected from the moment of conception (abortion remains legal, however, in cases where the mother's health is threatened).
Read it all.

Given my facility in Hungarian (none at all!) I found the link to the official English translation of the Constitution - http://www.kormany.hu/download/4/c3/30000/THE FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF HUNGARY.pdf
The references to Christianity should be read in the context of the whole. On my reading, they are not dominant (being actually very few in a large document), but they are significant:
Note in particular the freedom to profess or refrain from professing religious beliefs. Liberals greatly fear this, as they wish to be able to use the resources of the state to control that which people profess (or refrain from professing).
Note also the challenge put out in the first quoted sentence. Although it only states that the Hungary was made a part of "Christian Europe" 1,000 years ago, many will be displeased that this could be construed as a hint that the Hungarians believe Europe should be Christian today.
Anyway, the Vatican has supported this constitution. In my view, Protestant christians should support it also.April 15, 8:37 pm | [comment link]

What Article VII gives it takes away with subsection 3. And article XV institutes tyranny through subsection 2. How does the right to practice ones religion according to one's conscience mesh with the inevitable clash with discrimination? One need only look at Colleges use of discrimination to drive Christian organizations off Campus.
I would also question the source of these rights. The Constitution seems to be the source of the rights and they can be removed. In contrast our Constitution recognizes pre-existing rights and creates a government powerless to encroach on those pre-existing rights, which derive from God, a source higher than the Government created. Now if our rights which rest on a much higher foundation are under sustained assault by statists of both parties, but primarily by liberal/progressives, what hope is there for these "rights" down the road?April 16, 12:07 pm | [comment link]
4. MichaelA wrote:
Br Michael, don't the following two sentences in your post contradict?
If the government created by your constitution is so powerless to encroach on rights, then why do you have a problem with misuse of discrimination laws in the USA?
I hope the point I am making is clear - personally I think one can only expect so much of any constitution and I think the US constitution is a very good one. But I do think its unreasonable to consider the Hungarian constitution inferior to the US constitution, when you admit that the very problem on which you have focussed also occurs in the US!April 16, 6:28 pm | [comment link]

do you think Miss Marple is in there with her knitting and a cup of tea? Or maybe she's in the back garden admiring the flowers. What a beautiful house. IF I ever go back to live in England....that one is mine.ungool

The edging on that roof is like icing on a cake. The closest we get to that kind of charm in this country are the Comstock cottages in Carmel. I agree with Marilyn, Miss Marple may well be inside sipping tea, knitting and watching out for nefarious activity.

since i began exercising, i've actually gained a few pounds. yeah. not right. at first i thought i was gaining muscle, but i really don't think so. tonight as i was getting dressed to go out for dinner, i put on a favorite pair of slacks only to find i was holding my breath and jumping around to get into them. ok, so it wasn't quite that bad, but they were very, very tight. i took them off and promptly hung them back in the closet. oy vey.
i think the explanation is two-fold: first, i'm honestly hungrier since i began running. consequently i am eating more. i'm not making poor choices, but i'm eating larger quantities so it only makes sense that i'm gaining a bit. secondly, i think there's a slight sense of entitlement, or a feeling like i deserve a reward (which has become my nightly Skinny Cow ice cream cone, which, at 150 calories isn't bad at all, but the fact that i am eating it at night is awful). i catch myself sometimes thinking, "oh, well i went running today, so i can eat a few more of those wheat thins," or, "i did such a good job working out that i can have that yogurt and granola." don't get me wrong---i am hungry. a lot. but perhaps there is a third reason, and it's the same one that's always plagued me: emotional eating. i suppose when you combine these three things, it's no wonder i've gained a few pounds. regardless, i'm quite upset with myself and i really want to put a stop to it. but how to do this when i really AM hungry most of the time? sometimes i even get sweaty and shaky, like i have low blood sugar. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
i've often thought about posting pictures or signs around the kitchen. it's not as easy as just not buying certain things because i have kids. i'm not willing to deprive them of foods just because i hear the cookies calling my name from the pantry. i am a firm believer that if you're denied something, you want it all the more later. we don't keep a lot of junk food in the house---we have pretzels and Sun Chips (not greasy Lays/Ruffles). We have cookies around, but they are mostly Fat Free Newtons or the Archway oatmeal raisin cookies (I also make my own cookies when I can summon the energy, as those are far better, although still not good for you). we eat lots of fruit and veggies, eggs, yogurt, milk, cheese, whole wheat bread, turkey, chicken....I am talking in circles. Perhaps if I taped signs around that read, "Do you really need/want to eat that?" or, "What's really eating you?" or even, "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips," I would be less inclined to indulge my every food whim. Certainly a magazine clipping or two featuring swimsuit models would be enough to stop me from stuffing my face unnecessarily.
I have also read about keeping a food diary, which I've never attempted. It seems like it wouldn't work, but perhaps I ought to give it a shot. You do just that---write down everything you put in your mouth. I suppose with the result being that you begin to fully realize how much and what sorts of foods you are putting into your body daily. And maybe writing it down prompts you to consider whether you really need it. I can't remember for sure, but I think you're also supposed to jot down how you're feeling that day or what's been going on. Hell, maybe I should post my food diary on my blog! I can see that being a very effective diet!!! It would say:
"Saturday, August 9, 2008. Today I ate an apple and a large glass of fat-free skim milk. I wasn't really very hungry for some reason. My kids were absolute angels and took three-hour naps, and I used that time to mow the yard and wash my car. D came home from work early and loved the delicious, wholesome meal I prepared for the family (which I declined to eat because I wasn't hungry). I did 22 loads of laundry, took the dog to the vet, vacuumed and mopped my floors, had hot sex with my husband, read a novel, went to the grocery store, and ran 10 miles followed by an hour of strength training. I am so happy and fulfilled and my life is perfect! I always manage to squeeze so many productive things into my day. It's very important that I keep my mind sharp by reading and writing, but sometimes I then don't have time for my other chores. So I just pop a few pills and stay up all night. It's fabulous!
I don't know how so many moms do it and make it look so easy. I feel like a failure. This post started out about eating/gaining weight, but it's really about so many things. Isn't it funny how many thoughts and feelings are related and constantly bending into each other? How we think eating/hunger is a physiological thing, a need answered. But my brain and stomach are victims of miscommunication. My stomach's sending a message to my brain, "Feed me, feed me," but maybe the emptiness it feels isn't a hunger for food. Sadly I haven't fully realized that until now, and I don't know how to fix or change it. Maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion. I tend to over analyze sometimes.

It happened near Vander Cook Lake in Summit Township, just south of Jackson.
A neighborhood, still in shock, after learning Jordynn Watson somehow slipped out of sight and into her grandmother's pool around 7p.m. Wednesday.
"She was always happy, just running around with a smile on her face and her hair all up in little barretts and stuff," said Nicole Delarosa, a neighbor.
Investigators told 6 News there is a fence around the backyard, but direct access to the above ground pool from the home.
"The pool is not immediately adjacent to the house, but close enough where the child was able to get in the pool and unfortunately drown," Sheriff Steve Rand, from Jackson County.
Nicole Delarosa doesn't know the family personally, but says she would see Jordynn around all the time.
"She's going to be missed," said Delarosa.
Deputies say others may have been around the pool at the time of the drowning.
"How many or what age, I don't know, but obviously it's just a tragic, tragic accident."
When emergency responders arrived, they tried to revive her on the scene. She was later taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.
"And that all I can say is that we're praying and that our hearts are with the family in this matter and we wish them all the best."
