Fungus flies are a small fly which needs a lot of moisture to survive. Unlike other small flies which are able to live on most organic matter, fungus flies live on the fungus which is growing in moist and fertile soil. These flies are about 1/16″ long and usually black in color.

Other Information: PEST ARTICLES
There is not much data available about their life cycle, but it is known that they become adults in less than two weeks. It is also known that they need moist soil to live and that household plants seem to be able to provide this environment quite well. Homeowners have a tendency to over water or let water accumulate in the catch trays of plant pots. This water supply allows fungus to grow in the soil on which these flies thrive. In extreme cases, the leak from a water line or roof has lead to infestations. These flies live outside and are attracted to light. Deck and patio lights will attract them to your home and once inside, they will nest where moisture and fungus is able to accumulate. Fungus flies are easy to control. There are many products which can be used and they work in many environments.
Fungus flies commonly infest anything moist and full of organic matter. Such areas include sink drains, garbage disposals, recycling bins, house plants, water trays under freezers or refrigerators, litter boxes, pantries where vegetables or fruit is being stored, mud rooms which stay moist, damp crawl spaces and basements.
Fungus flies become a nuisance to people because they're readily attracted to CO2. That means these little flies can detect human breath which they think is something decomposing. So once in the home, fungus flies will find people and focus on our mouth, nose, eyes and other moist areas. And though they don't bite, its annoying and to many people, disgusting!
Fungus flies are easy to control. The use of PT-565 as a space spray will take care of any adults flying around the room you treat. However, this will require regular treatments but it can be used as frequently as is needed since it's safe for all areas of the home.

To help control the problem, set out some FUNGUS FLY TRAPS in plant pots and around other areas where you have seen activity.
Bug Sticks: http://www.bugspraycart.com/traps/glue/bug-stix-6-stx-12-pads
Another trap which works great for them is the FLY WEB ELECTRIC TRAP. Install one in any room which has a problem and it will quickly start catching flying adults.

Lastly, potted plants should be treated by watering them with an adulticide. For the plant soil, treat with the organic MULTIPURPOSE INSECT KILLER. It works great on fungus flies and is approved for organic gardeners. If you find the flies accumulating on the plant, go with the organic HOUSE PLANT AEROSOL.
Organic Insect Killer: http://www.bugspraycart.com/organic/liquid/multi-purpose-insect-killer-24-oz
House Plant Insect Killer: http://www.bugspraycart.com/organic/aerosol/houseplant-insect-killer-10-oz
For potted plant soil treatments, just mix some up Multipurpose Killer in a watering can and water using the normal amount you would apply to the plant. By soaking the soil you'll remove this location as a fungus fly nest site. This treatment will control the larvae and adults.
For the plant, spray the House Plant Aerosol when you see activity. This can be done throughout the day if needed but in most cases if you treat the soil, you'll remove the source of the problem and regular treatments to the plant itself won't be required.
In some cases, you might find fungus fly problems in the yard. This can happen seasonally and are usually related to some kind of food, plant, mold or moisture source. These outbreaks can result in millions hatching and taking over. To control such outbreaks, so with CYONARA RTS. This product can treat up to 16,000 sq/ft well and since it comes with it's own hose end sprayer, it's easy to apply and ready to go. Simply hook it to your garden hose and start spraying any tree or plant with fungus flies and they'll quickly be controlled.

In this episode of Seattle Real Estate Chat, Jim Reppond and I discuss FHA's HAWK program with special guest, Frances Flynn Thorsen.
Seattle RE Chat – FHA's HAWK Program [Video]
Is it time to refi your FHA mortgage?
With the appreciation homes are seeing in the greater Seattle – King County area, home owners who purchased their home a couple years ago using an FHA mortgage may now be able to refinance into a conventional mortgage. FHA mortgages are often used when a home buyer needs a lower down payment option or if credit scores are lower. FHA jumbo mortgages offer home buyers lower down payment with higher loan amounts than what conforming mortgages will permit. There are many reasons why someone might opt for an FHA mortgage when buying a home.
The FHA HAWK Program for Homebuyers
A few weeks ago, HUD announced a new program created for first time home buyers which rewards them with reduced mortgage insurance premiums after they participate in home buyer education and one-on-one housing counseling. HAWK or Homeowners Armed with Knowledge is a pilot program set be released in two phases on a limited basis.
Now offering FULL FHA 203k Rehab Mortgages
An FHA 203k rehab mortgage is great for fixing up a home that you're considering buying and may even be used to make improvements to your primary residence with an FHA 203k refi. Many lenders offer the "FHA streamlined 203k rehab" loan which limits the amount of funds that can be used for the rehab project. Unlike a streamline 203k, the rehab process is allowed to take up to six months to complete. I'm very pleased that Mortgage Master Service Company is now offering the FULL FHA 203k program.
2014 FHA Loan Limits Reduced in Washington State
Last week, HUD announced the FHA loan limits for 2014 with most counties in Washington having loan limits reduced from 2013 levels. In the Seattle/King County area, FHA loan amounts for a single unit dwelling will be reduced by $61,500 from $567,500 to $506,000 in 2014. Kitsap County was hit the hardest with a reduction of $167,950 for single unit dwellings. The higher loan limits that we have appreciated over the past few years were intended to be "temporary" and HUD has been attempting to shrink FHA's footprint, so we shouldn't be too surprised over the lower loan limits.
2014 FHA Loan Limits for Washington State
FHA loan limits for 2014 have been reduced from 2013. For a home located in greater Seattle, the new FHA loan limit is reduced from $567,500 to $506,000 in 2014. The reductions are across the board for Washington state counties and some loan limits are below 2014 conforming loan limits.
FHA streamline refinances without appraisals and with loan amounts over the the 2014 loan limits will not be subject to the new loan limits.
Want Conventional with 3% Down? Check out Home Advantage.
This past weekend, Fannie Mae implemented new underwriting standards raising the minimum down payment for a conventional loan from 3% to 5% down…with an exception. The exception allows for certain community based programs, like those offered through the Washington State Housing Finance Commission to still provide 3% down conventional mortgages. I have confirmed with WSHFC that the Home Advantage Program will continue to all a minimum 3% down payment.

Police Pepper Spray Students at UC-Davis Protestby Free Britney at . Comments
Footage of police in riot gear pepper spraying students at point blank range has surfaced and caused outrage at the University of California-Davis and beyond.
University of California Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi, who has been called upon to resign, said in a statement that she was forming a task force to investigate.
She called police action and video images, which circulated Saturday, "chilling." Police say it was "fairly standard police procedure." You watch and decide ...
In the video, an officer dispassionately pepper-sprays a line of several sitting protesters who flinch and cover their faces but remain passive, arms interlocked.
As the images and clips spread on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter over the weekend, the university's faculty decried the school's "gross failure of leadership."
At a news conference, Katehi said what the video shows is "sad and really inappropriate" but defended her leadership and said she had no plans to resign.
"I do not think that I have violated the policies of the institution," she said. "I've worked personally very hard to make this campus a safe campus for all."
The protest was reportedly held in support of the overall Occupy Wall Street / Occupy Oakland movement and in solidarity with protesters at UC-Berkeley.
Stupid little shits got what they deserved.
Appropriate. They were asked to leave. What else is there to argue about? The majority of these protesters are just lazy hippies. I wake up at 5am to go to work, and I pass by them and they're smoking pot at this hour. Filthy, lazy, hippies is all they are.
Want to know what I think? The protesters should grab those cops, zap them with their own tasers, crack them upside the head with their batons, and turn those mace canisters on them full force in the face. Maybe those sick psychopaths who think that a badge confers carte blanche to behave like Gestapo thugs will think twice next time.
Now wait a minute. These people were peacefully exercising their right to freedom of expression and speech by nonviolent means and our police grossly over-react and hose them down with pepper spray before dragging them off like road kill on the highway to hell. Have we forgotten this country was founded by people who were fleeing from persecution and oppression in their native lands? If we have indeed come full circle, then the real enemy is those of us who by our silence condone these brutal, thugish, and dehumanizing actions by our own police perpetuated on the very citizens they have sworn to serve and protect! Even if you disagree with the protesters message, there is no way any rational person can say these people deserve the treatment they received!!!
Since California has so much money...are you asking to be sued?? Cool it!

Plot Summary: "No Country for Old Men" is a mesmerizing new thriller from Academy Award� winning filmmakers Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, based on the acclaimed novel by Pulitzer Prize winning American master Cormac McCarthy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones.
The story begins when Llewelyn Moss (Brolin) finds a pickup truck surrounded by a sentry of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law - in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell (Jones) - can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers - in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives (Bardem) - the film simultaneously strips down the American crime drama and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning's headlines.

The Great War is over, but the battles at Downton Abbey continue apace, as different family members come to the fore and a new hierarchy needs to be resolved. Which branch of the family tree will Lord Grantham's first grandchild belong to? And what will become of the servants, both old and new? An evocative combination of story, history, and behind-the-scenes drama, the book focuses on the individual characters, examining the motivations, actions, and the inspirations behind each one. It is also a visual feast, illustrated with page-filling scenes from the program, formal character portraits, and ephemera of the 1920s.

The Nightbell, Asheville
- Jeff C. Mar 4, 2014 06:14 AM
We stopped in Katie Button's new speakeasy Saturday night, and it looks like she has another hit on her hands--the place was packed at 8:30 p.m. It's a gorgeously retro storefront on S. Lexington near the back entrance to Mast General Store. You enter through what looks like a glamorous antiques store and are escorted upstairs to a wonderland of food, drink, and pretty people dressed to the nines. Cocktails are arranged in four taste/spirit categories with some overlap. We had a bourbon cocktail (whose long name I have forgotten) with just the right amount of sweet and sour to balance out the booze. Several craft brews--including local--are offered. Since we had already had dinner, we settled for dessert, but...it was the best dessert I've had in downtown AVL, a sort of molten peanut butter cake with a crispy dark chocolate base alongside a dollop of blood orange sorbet. Again, the combination and balance of flavors--sweet, sour, and salty--was masterful. They also offer a menu of "bites" that includes everything from oysters with various spray "tinctures" to playful updates on such pub grub standards as fish and chips and a philly steak sandwich. We definitely want to go back and try some of these. Our server was lovely and very helpful--in fact, the whole staff couldn't be friendlier. My only real quibble is that the music (played by a live DJ) was all warmed-over Euro-pop, but as I said we were there early. Maybe things get more raucous later on. No matter: The Nightbell is the kind of sophisticated cocktail lounge downtown Asheville has long needed. Cheers to Chef Button and crew.
We've been - wanted to love it but damn the music in there is horrible! Enjoyed my creative (and expensive) drink - and could see myself staying there for more than just one or two if they lowered prices per by just a buck or two. And I am ALL FOR some GOOD house/techno/club music (which is why we went - really wanted to check out the DJ I had read so much about) - ugh. Unlistenable. It was teeny-bopper pop...I felt like I was at the gym. We were outta there after one drink. It's funny you mention the crowd as "dressed to the nines" as again - this is what I was hoping for - a cool place to get a little dressed up and dance - but we experienced the same old Asheville crowd - jeans, T-shirts, sloppy-casual. It's like the concept is there...but to me...execution is off, especially since a big part of what they want to be driving the place is the music. To us is wasn't sophisticated it all...but rather super cheesy because of that god-awful music! There is some really great electronica out there right now that I know Ashevillians would appreciate getting to experience in a modern cocktail lounge over some delicious small bites. I know me and my friends were hoping this would be that place. To us, it severely missed the mark. I guess I should go back to comment fairly on the food, but I may have to wear earplugs.

Hmmm...people were pretty dressed up the other night. I did hear one group say they were in from Atlanta, so maybe that explains it. I agree about the music, though, which is why we want to go back late and see if it's any better. I'm also wondering if they clear out the tables up front for dancing later. Do you know?
re: Jeff C.
There was definitely an open space in front of the DJ booth...we were at that end of the long bar so I'm sure it was open...but there may have been a few tables off to the side? We were there around 9:30-10. So I'd say there us a small"ish" dance area but not a big dance floor by any means.
re: miss piggy
Gotcha. If they don't get some better music, they may not even need that.
re: miss piggy
My friend went for their grand opening on 2/5 and said the music was mostly "Indie" stuff (which I like). Sounds like it may be different now? Of course a "grand opening" might present some different things. But you would think they would want to show off what they will be doing on a regular basis. ??

Sometimes, I'm scared to come out of my house. I'm right down there on 42nd, and I got one of those revolving doors, and I see people walking so fast. I don't walk that fast. And I'll just be standing in the doorway, like a little girl, just watching people. Then I see a little opening come, so it's like Double Dutch; I get excited.

Once among the sports of the affluent, tennis still evokes images of manicured grass courts, sparkling white togs, and exclusive racquet clubs. But the era of starchy tennis "whites" is long gone. These days tennis is being embraced by the common man. And when the common man has laid out a hefty sum for a sophisticated titanium racquet that's supposed to improve his game exponentially, he wants a lot of choice and a great deal. At the Sans Souci Tennis Center in North Miami, that's what he'll get. A dozen well-maintained hard courts (and one clay court) provide a pick of surfaces available from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekends. Those who can't tell the difference between forehand and backhand can take group or individual lessons from several pros. And loners who want to work on their serve have the option of whacking balls on a two-sided practice wall. All this comes for the pittance of $2.50 per hour during the day and $4.50 per hour at night, or $1 and $2 respectively for North Miami residents. First-class facilities for ordinary folks.

Four-star tight end commit Bryce Dixon hosted USC coaches in-home Wednesday night as his recruiting saga continues to wind down to signing day.
USCfootball.com's Gerard Martinez reported that the Trojans sent tight ends coach Marques Tuiasosopo, offensive coordinator Clay Helton and even the head man himself Steve Sarkisian to visit Dixon.
Dixon had #USC coaches Marques Tuiasosopo @therealTUI, Clay Helton and Steve Sarkisian @CoachSark in-home to close the deal Wednesday.
— Gerard Martinez (@gmartlive) January 30, 2014
Shortly after the visit's end, Dixon, who has flirted with the possibility of an official visit to UCLA this weekend tweeted an affirmation of his pledge to the Trojans.
Im a Trojan and nothing can change my mind…thank u lady and gentlemen #fighton
— Bryce Dixon (@ABCDIXON) January 30, 2014
The tweet seems to confirm that Rivals' top California tight end is ready to shut down his recruitment, though there's no official word yet as to the status of his visit to Westwood.
Dixon committed to the Trojans on January 4th at the US Army All-America game but most observers believed his recruitment wouldn't end there, with UCLA likely to push hard for his signature. However, the 6-4 tight end has only shifted further into the Trojan camp as the month has gone on.

GRIFFITH | If they weren't getting noticed before, the Griffith Panthers certainly will be now.
The Panthers cruised to a 4-0 win over Wheeler in a matchup of undefeated squads Wednesday.
Griffith (5-0) wasted no time jumping out in front with Michelle Beck's lucky find at 4:26. Melanie Turner's shot ricocheted off a Wheeler defender, right to Beck's foot about five yards in front of the goal.
Bearcats keeper Kadie Spoor got a hand on the ball but it found the bottom corner.
"It was just a lucky bounce from one of their players and I tried to aim for the corner as best as I could," Beck said. "The whole team played really good. I think it was a really cohesive group of girls."
Emily Duhon stole a Wheeler pass in the 12th minute and rocketed a shot over Spoor and under the crossbar.
Griffith had 13 shots on goal and many more sailed wide and over the net as the Panthers were regularly taking shots from 18 yards or more.
"I always say if you see a frame in your range, you take a shot. So I'm OK with (the deep shots)," Griffith coach Wally Kudyba said. "But at times tonight, they were a little bit ambitious."
Beck notched another on a breakaway at 38:56. Lauren Hernandez hit Beck with a pass over the top and the freshman looped a shot over Spoor from 20 yards.
Wheeler (6-1) had a visible gap between its midfield and defense, a problem Bearcats coach Bryan Murray said came down to lack of communication.
"(Griffith) controlled the play because they controlled the possession," Murray said. "We could never get a handle on Yadi (Castellanos) and the others in the middle of the field."
Castellanos had the final goal at 74:04. The Panthers have now outscored opponents 29-3 on the season.
"We really like the short game. That's our style and I think we're really adapting to it," Kudyba said. "There's no reason to change it."

Resumes that don't get lost in the shuffle.
Soon-to-be and recent grads tend to have similar questions, many of which skirt around or lead up to a single question: What should I do to get a job? Besides knowing the right people, I always suggest resumes that reflect personality, creative thinking & thought leadership. Of course, according to some studies, HR professionals spend less than a minute on any given CV.
Here are some examples of resumes that, I'm wiling to bet, didn't get lost in the shuffle. I'm a particularly big fan of the one where a creative team gets their parents to describe their campaigns. And the one above. But they're all good.
Twinter Wonderland: Make it snow & donate to #Sandy relief.
[work life / holidays / creativity / inspiration]
I know I'm biased, but between our never ending dance move (a little something from our holiday party, coming soon) & our holiday card, 360i is killing it this December. You're going to want to check it out: We've transformed a conference room into a snow globe & are livestreaming the meetings taking place 'round the campfire. By tweeting #TwinterWonderland, you can make it snow on whoever is in there & we'll donate $5 towards Sandy relief for each hashtag mention as well. Make it snow on us & feel good about yourself - how does it get any better than that?!
Why it's better to hire the least qualified person for the job.
[work life / culture / inspiration]
A recent study from a few European academics showed that people who are under-qualified for jobs "feel indebted to the hiring manager" for choosing them… whereas the most qualified candidate can feel like they deserved the job and therefore approach it with a more relaxed attitude. The study found that while only 30% of principals choose the less qualified person, those that are under-qualified put in 50% more effort than the people who are more qualified. Maybe recent grads aren't so bad after all ;)
The insourcing boom.
[culture / inspiration / work life]
It seems that design & production is starting to come back stateside. I've been spotting more and more Kickstarters that are touting products made completely in the US, but they often have a premium price tag attached. (Exhibit one: The soma water filter. A carafe that looks slightly better than Brita but is also nearly triple the cost.) But in this article from The Atlantic, Charles Fishman points out that making something in the US comes with a lot of advantages - and can lead to producing not just better products, but cheaper products.
I was a warehouse wage slave.
[shopping / culture / work life]
A peek into the sausage factory is sometimes even worse than you could imagine. Last holiday season, Mac McCelland signed up to be a temp at a warehouse that shipped goods that were purchased online. It sounds quite unpleasant and is a not-so-friendly reminder of how companies (even including Amazon!) keep their costs down in order to give you better prices (and make a better margin.)
Narquitectura: Inside the fortified palaces of Mexico's drug lords.
[culture / drugs / work life]
Who knew that keeping exotic animals symbolized gangster status?! Shame on you, drug lords. Still, kinda cool (in a creepy sorta way) to have a sneak peek at the houses. Not nearly as cool as what I expected. I suppose Scarface & Blow made my hopes a bit higher.
Sapient Nitro's Insights Report - Redefining Experience: Transforming global business through connected thinking.
[marketing / technology / inspiration / culture]
I'm a little late on this one, but some good stuff buried in here - from digital luxury 101 to the rise of the global consumer. It's dense so take save it and come back to it when you need inspiration.
Jeff Bezos: The smartest people change their minds.
[culture / creativity / work life]
Why Jeff Bezos doesn't consider consistency a particularly smart trait: "It's better, even healthier in fact, to have an idea that contradicts one you had before." As Walt Whitman said, "Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes."
Inside Starbucks' $35MM mission to make brand evangelists of its front-line workers.
[marketing / culture / work life / inspiration]
I used to work at Starbucks in college as a barista. It was one of the best parts of my college experience. (I'm lookin' at you, Rach!) And when I left school and started working in advertising in NYC, I couldn't stop comparing these massive brands to Starbucks, thinking how much they could learn. This article shows how Starbucks values continuing education, collaboration and passion. And how that helps their company.
The case for telecommuting: a tool that calculates how much your company will save.
[tools / money / work life]
If you drive to work, this site will let you calculate the savings your company would have based on the time you spend commuting, how many days/week you telecommute and the type of car you drive. You can also calculate savings based on your team vs. an individual.
A short lesson in perspective.
[life / work life / culture]
Why The Overnight Test should be brought back. I love this. Thanks to Mark for sharing.
Business advice from experts just a phone call away with Clarity.fm.
[work life / culture / tools]
Admittedly, this article is from May of this year. But I just discovered Clarity.fm and it seems kind of awesome. There are always things you want detail on - more than what you could get from an email, and Clarity.fm solves this problem. And if you're an expert? You could get paid. It sounds kind of like a customizable skillshare. The emphasis is on startups/entrepreneurs, but it looks like they're expanding to other disciplines.
ResumUP: What you need to do to have your dream job.
[work life / data visualization / inspiration / tools]
Similarly to Vizualize.me, ResumUP connects with LinkedIn to beautifully build & display your resume. But the focus isn't on the data visualization. Instead, ResumUP has a Career Plan feature that shows you both who and what you need to know to reach your dream job, including tasks and skills. So smart!
Let's be nice and just say car dealers are practiced and aggressive negotiators. If they didn't know how to maintain the upper hand, they'd be out of business. And a big part of keeping that upper hand isn't about the details of the deal itself, so much as controlling the emotional balance of a negotiation. If they can pull your heartstrings and define the emotional context of a negotiation, the deal will fall into their hands.
Take your average car buyer: Let's assume he or she is not a practiced negotiator. In fact, the prospect of a lively negotiation makes him cringe. The balance is already beginning to tip into the other party's favor. The less tolerance you have for the emotional stress of negotiating, the quicker you're likely to settle, says Michel Tuan Pham, professor of business at Columbia University. "It pushes you to seek closure to get rid of those bad feelings," says Pham."
Negotiate like a car salesman: 5 tactics to help you win every time.
[work life / creativity / business]
It's a stereotype that we're all familiar with: the car salesman. While they can come across as aggressive and even slightly sleazy, it's hard to argue that these guys are some of the best negotiators around. Whether you're negotiating a raise, trying to keep your rent down or even trying to sell in some work, this article is insightful.
"Knowledge was clearly the crucial foundation of the judgement to come. The second crucial component in the drama of criticism, the reagent that got you from the knowledge to the judgement, was taste, or sensibility."
A critic's manifesto.
[Art / Creativity / Inspiration]
I've gotta say - The New Yorker never fails to disappoint. Catching up on some reading over the weekend, I stumbled upon this gem on criticism. My favorite bit? The above quote.

Alexander Dobkins
Are you related to Alexander Dobkins and his son D. William Calloway Dobkins. Both in the Alexander Dobkins Family Cemetery, in Fort Worth, TX.
We are researching the family of Jacob Dobkins of VA and son Solomon Dobkins of Claiborne Co, TN, from whom Alexander descends for a DAR application.
We need death place of Solomon Dobkins, possibly Fannin Co, TX or Claiborne Co, TN.
Do you have a Death Certificate for this Dr. William Calloway Dobkins, Memorial #7768818, died in 1928 in Tarrant Co, TX?
Thanks, Julia #46905166

Johnny Frank Garrett
The state sought to impeach Garrett with an oral statement that he allegedly gave the police shortly after his arrest on November 9, 1981. Two police officers testified that, after they reduced Garrett's statement to writing, Garrett agreed that it was true but refused to sign it until after he consulted counsel. After consulting counsel, Garrett declined to sign the statement. In the statement attributed to Garrett by the police,
This reputed statement was simply the word of Police, To his dying day he professed he never made any such statement

In March, 2004, cold-case DNA testing identified Leoncio Perez Rueda as the rapist and murderer of Narnie Box Bryson, another elderly Amarillo victim killed four months prior to the murder of Sister Benz.[3] Immediately following Sister Benz's murder, prosecutors and police were certain the two cases were committed by the same assailant.[4] In both cases, the killer left behind a white shirt at the crime scene. In both cases, black curly head hairs were found on the victims and linked to Rueda. Previously unidentified fingerprints in Sister Benz's room were matched to Rueda. In both cases, the victims suffered matching cuts and stab wounds. And in both cases, witnesses identified dark-skinned men in white shirts at the scene shortly before the killings.[5][6][7]
The men linked to Bryson's murder were initially arrested and identified by witnesses in the Sister Benz case, and in fact prosecutors originally planned to charge one of them with Sister Benz's murder.[7] Leoncio Perez Rueda had been caught peeping in a window of another elderly woman two weeks before Sister Benz's death. Back in his native country, Cuba, Rueda was a former prison inmate who served a sentence for rape and murder.[7] Upon his transfer to Texas for trial in the Bryson murder, Rueda was interviewed and admitted not only to the rape of Ms. Bryson, but to having also raped a nun in a later attack in Amarillo. He made the admissions on camera during an interview for the documentary film "The Last Word" detailing the trial and execution of Johnny Garrett. Also on camera, Rueda admitted to recognizing his own shirt in the police photo of the shirt left at the scene of Sister Benz's murder.[7][8][9]
The fact that Johnny was only 17 years old when the crime he was accused of was committed and he had also been described by many human rights organizations as severely mentally handicapped, put the entire case into question. The state of Texas has come under heavy criticism for allowing both a juvenile and mentally handicapped individual to be executed.

Dear Mr. Hill,
In regard to Johnny Frank Garrett, please take a look at the documentary "The Last Word" concerning the case of Mr. Garrett. I think it will shed some new light on his conviction and convince you that an innocent man was put to death by the state of Texas. I was absolutely floored by some of the facts of his case and I think you will be too. Please sir take a look at the video, I think it might convince you to rewrite his bio. Thank you sir, I appreciate it.

Had such a good body image day and Ive started wearing fake tan and i think I like it.
but my boyfriend is very amazing and always tells me that he thinks im beautiful and got annoyed last night when I refused to accept it.
Its all getting worse (TW)
Ive started to look at other girls and comparing myself to them and I've also started to watch what people it and think 'how can they look like that but eat that?' its not fair that Im so fat and everyone else is losing weight and im just getting fatter and not fitting into any clothes. I want to eat but now I can really see how Im fatter than Ive ever been and I hate it so so much.

Scientist takes off clothes to go swimming with belugas. In the wild they will not interact with people wearing clothes.
A team of researchers from Arizona bought meat and poultry in five cities across the United States, tested them for bacteria, and found this: 47 percent of the samples contained the very common pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, and 96 percent of those isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic. Of more concern: 52 percent of those staph isolates were resistant to at least three antibiotics that are commonly used in both veterinary and human medicine…
The antibiotics to which the staph was resistant included: penicillin and ampicillin; erythromycin; tetracycline; oxacillin, the more modern form of the drug methicillin; the drug combination quinupristin/dalfopristin, known as Synercid; the fluoroquinolones levofloxacin (Levaquin) and ciprofloxacin (Cipro); and the last-resort drugs for very serious staph infections vancomycin and daptomycin. One staph isolate was resistant to nine different antibiotics.

This is left-wing politics.
no, it's a graphic based on a novel about Stalinism. and it's STILL got more multi-racial solidarity than the GOP..
Even though you would like to live in denial by claiming its based on Stalinism, Stalinism is left-wing, so you've proven my argument to be correct.
Also, Ingsoc means 'English Socialism'. Socialism being left-wing.
And, it highlights the reality of ideological experiments on society such as those in the USSR and East Germany, which were left-wing.
The Republican Party doesn't feature in this story.
awkward moment when Orwell was a member of the Fabian Society and the Labour Party, two SOCIALIST organizations in the UK.
and it is about Stalinism, and the irony that Stalin called him régime socialism when it obviously wasn't.
Orwell was a Democratic Socialist. He was, that is just how it is. He criticised the totalitarian regimes that were produced in the USSR, etc. He was a Socialist critic of Stalinism, which the vast majority of the left still stands against.
The original poster has clearly not read anything else by Orwell. I suggest Down And Out In Paris And London. (I prefer The Road To Wigan Pier, but it's better for people who aren't going to put the book down at the first sight of a favourable view towards socialism.)

As part of the City's 11-09 Westgate Circle Art Request for Proposal (RFP), the following projects have been selected as semi-finalists. The process for final selection includes public display and opportunity for public comment. This site will be available until approximately August 29, 2011 for review and comments.
Additional details of the project including the Commission's selection criteria are outlined below.
The City of Annapolis Art in Public Places Commission (AIPPC) sought proposals to place site-specific art in the public space known as Westgate Circle. The center of a heavily traveled traffic roundabout, Westgate Circle is a major gateway to the city of Annapolis and the Arts and Entertainment District. The surrounding area includes residential and commercial properties and a cemetery. A portion of the site may be landscaped by a local grower/garden center as designated by the AIPPC. All appropriate media will be considered for proposed artworks, which may also incorporate existing or planned plantings in their design. The selected artwork will be displayed for a minimum of two years, and the artists will be responsible for its installation and removal. The selected artist shall receive up to $10,000 for the design, production, installation and removal of the art.
Selection Process and Criteria:
All qualified submissions will be reviewed by the Commission that will select up to five semi-finalists. Semi-finalists will be invited to develop comprehensive designs and submit a detailed description and/or maquette, which will be displayed in a public area for viewing and comment prior to final selection.
The Commission will give special consideration to the following:
Please click on thumbnails of the images of the artwork for the AIPPC Westgate Circle sculpture project - to view larger images. Scroll down the page and give us your feedback. THANK YOU!
In my search to produce a figurative sculpture for my hometown, I found myself looking at the iconic public sculptures of Art History. I drew inspiration from Ancient Greece's Winged Nike of Samothrace and New York's Statue of Liberty. Michelangelo's David is a simple male figure that embodied the spirit of Renaissance Florence. The human form is a timeless subject, and perhaps the most powerful vehicle for human visual expression. If Westgate Circle were surrounded by modern steel and towering glass buildings, I would design an abstract piece for the space. However, the Parisian design of Park Place and the warmth of our Baroque city plan demands a figurative sculpture. An artwork that will uplift the spirit of Annapolitans, not a piece that will leave taxpayers scratching their heads--- an artwork for the people.
Her pose is active, and her drapery accentuates her forward movement. The classical style is also a nod to our figurative arts tradition in the community. For decades, Annapolis has produced many portrait artists and successful gallery painters.Art students and collectors travel to Annapolis for art classes at Maryland Hall and for events like Paint Annapolis and Art Walk. The circle is located at the heart of our arts district, in close proximity to Park Place, Maryland Hall, Rams Head on Stage, and it serves as a gateway to the many art galleries and music venues downtown. She will distinguish the arts district from the auto shops, gas stations, and fast food establishments of upper West Street and also distinguish the area from the Navy Stadium on Taylor Avenue.
I have also given my design a nautical theme. She is not just stepping forward, but rather sailing through the bay waters at her feet. Thus, her drapery and hair are wet and windblown. A humble crown of oyster shells adorns her wavy hair. Currently, there are no solo female sculptures in Annapolis, so she would be a unique sculpture, confident and welcoming.
There is a flag staff in her right hand that serves several purposes. First, it alters her overall design and silhouette, creating a much taller, bolder, more uplifting experience. Second, a real flag will create actual movement in the sculpture. Such movement is appropriate for the busy environment of the circle. Finally, the flag will be an interchangeable part of the sculpture, making her a functional/interactive artwork that could serve our city in endless ways. Different flags for different holidays and/or local events such as Veterans, Memorial, or Independence Day, USNA Commissioning week, St. Patrick's Day. National flags could even be flown to welcome visiting dignitaries. Local groups and businesses could make arrangements with the city to have their flags raised above the circle for specific events.
She will designate the capital of Maryland as a forward thinking artistic city, a city that values culture, tradition, and beauty.
In response to the RFP 11-09, Gary Jameson proposes to design, fabricate, install, and de-install several sculptural sail-like forms that would be integrated into the proposed landscaping. With a working title of "Regatta,'' the sail-like forms would be fabricated of composite resin/ fiberglass with aluminum framing. Each free-standing form will be secured with a poured concrete footer that will ensure stability, resistance to weather and vandalism, and yet be readily de-installed. The number of sail-like forms to be installed is to be determined. The initial proposal is for each form to be approximately ten feet in height. Although initially proposed as white sails, they can be of many colors.
The artwork proposed is a free-standing sculptural expression centered in the Westgate rotary, Annapolis Md. The sculpture titled " Shoal" is intended to reference the historical connection of Annapolis as a nautical port city and to acknowledge the universal intrigue of the sea as a life force.
The proposed sculpture incorporates repetitive individual forms placed in proximity to one another, to create a dynamic whole when seen as a collective group. The proposed artwork characterizes my interest in spatial relationships - how sculpture can work with forms, scale, placement, and pattern, in the same way architecture employs these traits.
The artwork would consist of five massive wooden ribs spaced approximately 48" apart in a slightly arched row. While these ribs mimic the remnants of a sunken ship or the skeletal remains of a whale, they are primarily intended to present to the viewer an abstract quality of large, enigmatic, broken arcs , abandoned to the landscape. Suspended above these arcs would be approximately 20 crudely carved forms resembling fish or a furled sail secured high on a mast. Twelve rods of 18ft. rebar steel would connect these forms to the rib-like forms below. This arrangement would create a slight kinetic action causing the fish-like forms to sway a bit in a pronounced wind. The rib component of the proposed sculpture would be fabricated from oak and poplar. The suspended forms would be carved cedar. The approximate overall size would be; 18ft. high, 12 ft.wide, and 18 ft. long. The project would be as eco-friendly as possible. The wood would remain untreated and allowed to weather to a natural grey-brown. The installation will forego customary spotlighting, instead each of the forms suspended above the ribs, would have a small solar light discreetly embedded in it. In the evening the sculpture would not be illuminated, but rather, there would be a small constellation of tiny lights hovering above it.
Garden landscaping around the art work could be utilized to the further the sea bed theme. I would encourage consideration be given to a less formal gardening treatment . Allowing sea grasses to grow to full height, climbing vines, and the use of accent flowering weeds such as chicory, would further the weathered, abandoned quality I am seeking.
Projected cost: $7,883.57

Once again, Jason Whitlock completely misses the point
3/20/13 in NBA | Pat | 5234 respect
His latest masterpiece: The Heat are saving team sports by giving the regular season meaning once again.
While it's certainly impressive and exciting to see what the Heat are doing this year, there's really no way to even make such conjecture until they win a championship.
If the Spurs or Thunder (or someone else) manage to knock them off in the playoffs, then it doesn't matter if they win the rest of their games this season. It will all be for naught.
Whitlock compares the Heat's winning streak to the HR race between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa in 1998.
Perhaps Whitlock forgets how that story ends, with McGwire and Sosa both being completely disgraced because of the PED scandal.
The regular season doesn't suddenly matter more, now that the Heat are on this huge winning streak. The Heat's games matter a bit more, but people still really won't tune in for quite a few of their games. Is anyone really going to watch the Heat play against the Cavaliers, Pistons, Bobcats, and Magic, knowing that those are the worst 4 teams in the Eastern Conference?
The Heat-Celtics game was a big draw, but that will always be a big deal. The Heat and Celtics always put on a good show, and Monday night was no exception. When the Heat play the Bulls, Spurs, and Celtics again, people will tune in. Not only because of the streak (although that is a factor), but also because those are good teams and they should be good games.
At the end of the day, this winning streak is really interesting, but it only matters if the Heat go on to win a championship.
Nice try, Whitlock, but you've missed the mark once again. Wake me up when the playoffs come.

$500 Car Road Trip Part 1 - Buying Day
Absolutely hilarious
(Source: youtube.com)
Currently Ordered Upgrade List
Strut Bar - $145.77
Ram Air Intake - $148.95
Engine Torque Dampener Kit - $100.57
Tuon badges - $25.00
Grand Total: 420.29 U.S. dollars
After everything is in I should be sitting at 170 horsepower. The throttle should be quick and responsive, and it should corner and handle a lot better. As soon as I get everything in and installed I'll write a nice review about everything.
Also for those who don't know. Tuon is the KIA-Mobis branch responsible for tuning the kia souls. Getting these badges is quite hard since it has to be imported over.
Kia Soul Upgrades
Well I just bought the SSD Performance Strut Bar for about $144.00.
This should improve the handling by a great deal according to the reviews I've read on it.
My next buy is going to be a Torque Engine Dampener from the same people.
- reduces wheel hop
- GREATLY reduces shock loads on the drive train
- reduces wear on exhaust joints
- quickens throttle response
and finally where would I be without picking up an intake (short ram)
This is actually my car. It's a 2012 Kia Soul of the Molten variety. It's got a 2.0 Liter 16 valve engine that puts down 164 horsepower. Which is nice for a car thats centered on fuel economy, and style over going stupid fast.
