text: On May 29, 2008, at 1410 central daylight time, a Bell UH-1H, operated by the Panamanian Servicio Aereo Nacional (SAN) as SAN-100, was destroyed when it impacted buildings in Panama City, Panama. The Panamanian pilot in command, the Panamanian flight mechanic, three Panamanian passengers and six Chilean passengers were fatally injured, and the Panamanian copilot was seriously injured. There were no injuries on the ground. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the visual flight rules flight that departed Enrique A. Jimenez Airport (MONX), Colon, Panama, at 1326, destined for a waterfront hotel landing pad in Panama City, Panama. The VIP transport flight was conducted under Panamanian flight regulations.According to Panamanian authorities, the passengers included senior officials from both Panama and Chile, including the Director General of the Chilean National Police (Los Carabineros), who were attending an international conference.A radar review revealed that while approaching the hotel helipad from seaward (from the south, over the Bay of Panama), the helicopter made one 360-degree turn, then another 270-degree turn, and headed eastward toward a different part of the shoreline. Crossing the shoreline, it appeared to be headed over buildings, toward Marco A. Gelabert (Albrook) Airport (MPMG), Panama City, Panama, before disappearing from the radar. The helicopter's altitudes were not recorded. According to the copilot, while approaching the hotel helipad, the helicopter experienced a power loss from the left engine, making it impossible to land at the pad. The crew concentrated on maintaining flight, and headed toward Marco A. Gelabert Airport. En route, the helicopter impacted the top of a building.An examination of the accident scene revealed that the majority of the tailboom was on the roof of a four-story building, the majority of the cabin, including the engines, was on the roof of a second, lower building, and that the majority of the cockpit had continued off the second building, down into a street.A subsequent examination of the wreckage and engines in a hanger revealed that the airframe and flight controls had no preimpact anomalies that would have precluded normal operations, and that the left engine "was not operating normally at the time of the accident." The engines were subsequently transported to the manufacturer for further examination under Panamanian oversight.The accident investigation is under the jurisdiction of the government of Panama.

Whether you observe Christmas, another religious or cultural holiday, or even just the opportunity for some time off, for most of us this is also a season for celebrating family, friends and — of course — food. Food plays a significant role in our observance of Christmas and seasonal holidays, with cherished traditional recipes and tantalizing displays of elegant dishes and treats, and from a special family breakfast through to the snacks passed around during the day and finally to a memorable dinner.
These are some of the most special treats, breakfasts and dinner ideas I've created for my own loved ones through Christmases of the past years, and they have become as cherished to them as to myself. Many vegetarians such as myself, or families who have one or more vegetarians, have had to forgo or add to earlier Christmas food traditions out of necessity. But this should be considered no loss as Christmas traditions have always grown throughout generations of family. One of the purposes of this food blog has always been to show that vegetarian food can be a rewarding experience, not just for everyday eating but also for the most important occasions. I hope that those of you who have followed me through the years can agree, and I hope that you will find an idea in these posts that will add to your own holiday eating and entertaining experiences. Most of all, I hope that each and everyone one of you — old friends and newcomers — have a very warm and blessed Christmas.
Check out these and other menu ideas on
Nigella's Christmas Pavlova
Like an enormous roasted marshmallow with a thick crispy caramelized-sugar exterior surrounding a light and creamy meringue, pavlovas have the same lumpy and carefree charm of appearance, sweetness and ease … or a charm that is actually improved by a jaunty slathering of whipped cream and a reckless scattering of fruit on top.
Christmas Rum Balls
A Christmas classic, these rum balls disappear in moments once they're served. Somewhat like truffles, but with a smooth chocolate interior flavoured with crushed vanilla wafers and — of course — rum. A dark Jamaican rum will add extra intensity to the taste. Crushed hazelnuts or macadamias can be substituted for the vanilla wafers for a nuttier sensation.
Tropical Christmas Fruitcake
Dark, rich, chewy and moist, this may be the best Christmas fruitcake you've ever had. Dried pineapples, lychees, mangoes, golden raisins and coconut, fresh cut citrus peels, and a splash of island rum — this fruitcake only improves with age. This year you can pass around a fresh and beautiful fruitcake instead of all the usual fruitcake jokes.
Tropical Christmas Steamed Pudding
The plumpness and fresh vibrant flavors of dried tropical fruits are the star qualities of this steamed Christmas pudding. Any kind of dried fruit that strikes your fancy can be used, but a mixture of tropical fruits — mangoes, papayas, pineapples and bananas — will let you imagine you and your family are sitting on a sandy island beach at Christmas-time surrounded by warm tropical breezes.
Santa's Panforte
These little sweet and chewy bites of dried fruit and nut candy are a delicious addition to your holiday entertaining platter. Best of all this wholesome treat can be prepared weeks or even months ahead of time, as long as you can keep out of them yourself before Christmas.
Fresh Gingerbread Cake with Lemon Icing
Gingerbread is a classic Christmas treat, and this delicious, sticky and moist gingerbread cake made with fresh ginger has plenty of zing to satisfy the traditionalists in the family while adding a modern sweet lemon icing for the bolder and more adventurous crowd.
Cocoa Fruit Treats
Naturally sweet, these no-bake cocoa treats with pistachios, dried fruit and a hint of chili are entirely guilt-free and incredibly easy to make. A great Christmas treat for when you think you've been over-indulging but can't resist the festive platter.
Quick & Easy Healthy Peanut Butter Balls
These no-bake and guilt-free little peanut butter balls are so easy to prepare that you can make them over and over again over the holidays, and you may need to once you see them flying off the plate.
Eggnog & Rum Winter Spiced French Toast
The perfect wake-up on a Christmas morning, the scent of eggnog combined with the gentle hints of rum and winter spices wafting through the kitchen might just give these breakfast treats priority over the presents under the tree this year.
Ginger Molasses Pancakes with Mixed Dried Fruit
These simple pancakes have the same festive flair as Christmas fruitcakes but with a much lighter, fluffier and fresher taste and texture. Perfect for serving up on a Christmas morning with some warmed maple syrup without having to wait around for the store-bought treats to be set out.
Rum & Ricotta Fritters
Christmas mornings are the perfect time to put on a pot of hot coffee and stir up a batch of these simple little rum and ricotta fritters — like little pieces of the fluffiest and most delectable pancakes you can imagine. Dusted with icing sugar or dipped in maple syrup or a warm spiced chocolate sauce, the memory of the scents and flavors will linger gloriously in your nose and mouth for hours.
Spiced Pumpkin Waffles
These light and fluffy waffles practically spring out of the waffle iron and onto the plate. The heavenly aroma of baked pumpkin and spices dressed with a little warmed maple syrup makes the most fragrant and delicious Christmas breakfast imaginable. Best of all, the aroma lingers through the house for hours to keep the festive cheer in the air.
Baked Apple Pancake
This soft and sweet baked apple pancake feels like a soufflé in the mouth with the wonderful flavors and aromas of brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. A delicious start to the day with a mug of hot coffee, it's good enough to serve as dessert or as a late-night treat with a mug of hot chocolate instead.
Indian-Style Fried Egg and Potato Cake
For hungry people who want a filling and nourishing breakfast to last them through the day until dinner, this hearty savory fried egg and potato cake with Indian seasonings will do just the trick. And the delicious aroma will linger in your kitchen for hours and keep you hungry for more.
Mushroom Nut Roast in Golden Puff Pastry
Rich, hearty, earthy and delicious, this gorgeous mushroom nut roast wrapped in a golden puff pastry is the centerpiece of any Christmas dinner, vegetarian or otherwise. Loaded with quinoa, different kinds of mushrooms and nuts, sun-dried tomatoes and plenty of spices and seasonings, it's extraordinarily nourishing and hearty as well.
Mushroom Bourguignon
It is often said that mushrooms are the meat of vegetarians, and after eating this mushroom bourguignon you just might be convinced yourself. Tender chunks of plump portobellos and chewy dried lobster mushrooms are simmered into a rich, thick and fragrant sauce highlighted by a robust red wine and served over a bed of steaming egg noodles. Even your carnivorous guests won't miss a thing.
Lentil Quinoa Nut Roast
This curried "meatloaf" made with lentils, quinoa, mushrooms and cashews is not only an attractive centerpiece for a vegetarian Christmas dinner, it's hearty enough to satisfy any appetite, vegetarian or otherwise. It might also be the healthiest and most nourishing Christmas dinner you've ever had.
Indian-Style Samosa Potpie
Savory pies on the holiday table are a terrific way to make an impression on the eyes, and this rich pie stuffed with a samosa-style potato, chickpea, spinach and vegetable filling in a flaky butter pie crust will make an amazed impression on the taste buds — and none of your guests will leave the table hungry.
Aloo Palak Paneer Pie
Another savory centerpiece pie, this open pie combines classic spicy and tangy Indian flavors in a modern take on "aloo palak paneer" by baking a spiced spinach and paneer cheese filling in a mashed potato crust — this will disappear as soon as people see it.
Mushroom and Spinach Lasagne
Classic dishes and flavors, this time from Italy, this rich and sumptuous lasagne with creamy ricotta cheese, spinach and a zesty homemade tomato mushroom sauce may not be traditional for Christmas but makes a fine crowd pleaser at any time of year.
Scalloped Potatoes with Best-Ever Mushroom Sauce
Scalloped potatoes are a tradition at many Christmas tables, and these soft, creamy and buttery potatoes get a special treatment worthy of the occasion with generous layers of a tangy and aromatic mushroom sauce that I maintain is simply the "best ever".
Tuscan Bean and Pasta Soup with Rosemary
Fragrant and colorful, this simple but rich and flavorful bean and pasta soup will satisfy your guests in so many ways, from pleasing their tastes and filling their stomachs, to warming their bodies and cheering their souls. This soup is always a winner.
Roasted Butternut Squash & Cannellini Bean Soup
Butternut squash is a seasonal winter favorite, and this simple, warm and creamy soup made with sweet roasted butternut squash soup and puréed cannellini beans is spiced and then topped with toasted pistachios for a hearty, delicious and colorful starter for a lovely Christmas meal.
Quinoa Soup with Beets and Fresh Dill
This seasonal and spicy beetroot and quinoa soup has all the colors of Christmas, especially if you top off a warm bowl with a dollop of sour cream. Warming, nourishing and earthy, this soup will set the stage for a gorgeous and satisfying meal.
Vegetarian Cassoulet with Bread Topping
An updated vegetarian take on a classic French winter staple, this rich and savory baked bean and vegetable casserole with dried herbs and a baked bread and Parmesan cheese topping makes for a delicious side dish but is also filling and hearty enough for a main course.
Hot Popovers
Simple light and fluffy "egg-y" popovers are a single serving size version of the classic British Christmas Yorkshire Pudding bread. Slather with butter and sprinkle salt and pepper on top of a hot fresh cooked popover for an absolutely delicious dinner roll that will fly off the table — better make a couple of batches at least.
Curried Vegetable Soup
This Indian-style vegetable soup has long been one of my very favorite soups to serve to friends and families on special occasions. Healthy, but most importantly delicious, cooked fresh vegetables seasoned with Indian spices bursts with an astonishing array of flavors in one bowl. Your guests may just want to fill up on this before even starting the main course.
Curried Red Kidney Beans with Paneer
Looking for a spectacular Indian main course to try for a change this Christmas? This colorful red kidney bean chili-style curry served with tender pieces of fried paneer cheese is rich, earthy, spicy and incredibly flavorful, and never fails to blow people away.

1. Mail a media alert or press release two weeks prior to your event to:
Attn: Assignment Desk
P.O. Box 1616
South Bend, IN 46634
2. Make sure your press materials state the time, date and exact location of your event. If more than one event is taking place, give a time and description for each event listed.
3. If you're writing to request that an individual be profiled, make sure you include as much as you can about his or her background and why you think he or she is newsworthy.
4. Keep in mind that television is a visual medium. Make sure your event is as visually interesting as possible. For example, "Four Hundred Children Deliver Birthday Card to Governor Ernie Fletcher" has a better chance of being covered than "Local School Writes to Governor."
5. If your event is less than a week away, you can fax your press materials to the news desk at (574) 284-1616 or Email at email@example.com.
6. Because more crews are working during the week, weekdays between 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. are usually a good time to schedule your event.
7. Keep in mind that a news event's chances of getting coverage are dependent upon the volume of news stories that day. Since we lay out our plans each morning, we won't be able to tell you until the day of the event if it will be covered.
8. Coverage plans are always subject to change without notice in the event of "breaking news" or an emergency.
9. If you have a celebrity coming to your event, make sure you list a "window" of time they're expected to appear. For example, Charlie Weis is expected to meet with students at the Boys and Girls Club from 2 to 3 p.m.
10. Try to make your event topical. For example, if your event occurs around a holiday such as Thanksgiving or Kwanzaa, try to do something that connects your event to the holiday. Also, if you can tie your event to the major news of the day, it increases your chances of getting coverage.
While following all of the above suggestions will not guarantee that we'll be able to cover your event, it will greatly improve your chances.

LOVELAND, Colo. (AP) - A Loveland man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a weekend shooting that wounded a police officer.
Authorities say 23-year-old Cody Alan Powell surrendered to police in nearby Fort Collins on Tuesday and was taken to Loveland.
He was arrested on charges of attempted first degree murder of a peace officer and first-degree assault.
No phone number could be found for him and it wasn't immediately known if he had a lawyer. His name didn't appear in online jail records.
Police haven't said what role Powell is accused of having in the shooting or whether they are seeking other suspects.
Thirty-six-year-old officer Garret Osilka was wounded on Sunday during a traffic stop. He is expected to survive.
An intensive search has been underway since the shooting.

Butterscotch Mushroom

Interesting mushroom - definitely does look like butterscotch! I have not had any issues with Chrome, but I did update to Windows 8 and I absolutely HATE the way your photos show up...so I use the desktop feature to sort through my photos.

lovely images John, a stand-out mushroom with that colouring. Yes likewise Blogger issues with no browsing via computer offered, happened about a week ago I think. I didn't switch to Google Chrome. I just put my photos onto an online gallery i.e. photobucket or similar and use the url addy to link. A bit painful, double-dipping but it works. I wondered if it was just a momentary hiccup and Blogger would revert to the old way again?

It looks very tasty indeed, beautiful pictures. I have the same problem with uploading and am forced to use Google Chrome too! I had this also some time ago and my husband had installed Google Chrome for me which worked well. After a while I could use Google again and I didn't use the Chrome anymore. But now I am forced to it indeed. I think it is a conspiracy for sure!Grrrr.

mmm I love butterscotch, and I love mushrooms.
You're the third person I know this week who has been having issues with blogger so obviously something is going on. One person is considering a switch to WordPress.

What a wonderfully colored mushroom. Your photos are amazing.
Another friend of mine was having the same problem.
I use Firefox instead of Chrome. I was VERY unhappy when Google pretty much made it mandatory to use Google Chrome on blogger. I haven't had any problems since I installed and do my uploading with Mozilla Firefox.

These mushroom are well named. I must be highly suggestible, because these look like they'd be sweet tasting. If you dared to try them.
I continue to use Firefox and have had no difficulty uploading photos. Good thing because all the Google stuff is confusing to me. FI, what are circles? And how are they different from followers? Google+--no thanks.

Both the Vacation that about Wasn't: watch out for on-line Hire Scams
There is one shopper proverb which says "if one deal happens also smart if Tree Tree Condition grasp that e-mails possible $100 iPads or totally free remains at sophisticated destination square assess nearly always not-to-be-believed phony throws.
On the wrong hands, I create my personal living finding amazing buys - high-end economical vacations, half-price sofas, low wedding ceremony grabs. so once it arrived time to be able to arrange a Cape Cod hire residential for one weekend getaway beneath September, I had an expectancy i might find the right spot on substantial money.
I established with the craigslist rentals component, a service I made used with success with regard to stays beneath FL and also South Carolina. It internet message board configurations on three thousand,000 vacation-rental postings every month with regard to a little of foremost fun traveller destinations around the world.
It post caught my personal notice immediately: "Waterfront Beauty home in Provincetown's West Death, 3BR/3BATH, 2-night minimum, $120 to $300 an evening and also additional. photos screen a beautifully appointed house to ocean feelings to be able to die with regard to. I release off friend e-mail and passed my hand.
Inside minutes, I made a reply. Both the home was available - $120 per night, [*fr1] ahead, and also a refundable margin on $200. If i used to be concerned, the poster might submit a hire agreement.
The answer read: "You ought to make the 5 thousand ($120) deposit and also the refundable security fee, that's $200 the overall range you are about to submit is actually ($320) you'll passed on it on towards the owner of staying by Traditional western Union cash Leave.

Loged by "Steve," both the message enclosed one woman's name and also location wherever i used to to be able to wire the cash.
The words "Traditional western Union" cause one red flag, when did the lack of punctuation and poor synchronic linguistics. i used to getting deep to be able to assume my personal deal may ought to be be one steal - but not during one great way.
I did one trifle analysis and discover that artificial internet rental advertisements square measure one standard joke. so common the website Crime criticism Middle - a partnership of Federal Bureau on consequently the Office of Justice allow - has issued one warning detailing but perpetrators carry advertisements, complete with photos, on alternative directories and also repost them to fictitious meet info. Both the dishonest listings generally feature highly lack of rates. Energy renters square assess asked to be able to submit cash on Traditional western Union and a check to be able to a POB.
As the tenant arrives, possibly the property don'ts exist or borrowers inexperienced person concerning the combination. point on admittance, big apple and also alternative in mode vacation goals, as if Cape Cod, square assess beneath style objects.

WHITEWATER, Wis. (AP) -- Danny Jones ran for one touchdown and passed for another to lead Wisconsin-Whitewater to a 16-7 victory today over Mary Hardin-Baylor in an NCAA Division Three semifinal.
Jones tallied on a 1-yard run to cap a 73-yard drive in the first quarter to open the scoring, then added a 25-yard scoring pass to Neil Mrkvicka in the second period to end a 62-yard push.
Josh Welch went in from the 1 for Mary Hardin-Baylor's only touchdown late in the first quarter before Joel Munoz's extra point gave his team its only lead of the game at 7-6.
Jeff Schebler, whose kick after Jones' first score was blocked, completed the scoring with a 39-yard field goal in the final period.
Wisconsin-Whitewater advanced to the 35th annual Stagg Bowl next Saturday against Mount Union, which routed Bethel 62-14 in the other semifinal.

If you want to work abroad, first find a reliable employment agency
Jul 29, 2009
By Ella Karapetyan
FILLING OUT THE FORMS: Get an agency that works for you.
TALLINN - In today's global economic crisis, many people in Estonia are starting to think of looking abroad for better life conditions. People go to search agencies to help them find a job in another country.
However, many people have the fear of being cheated by the employment agency while taking on their services. There are some agencies which remain honest and can still be trusted.
According to head of J.T. Agentuur, Ekaterina Taranenko, an employment agency in Tallinn working since 2001, the agency hasn't been involved in any negative incidents so far; moreover, the agency has retained many permanent clients. "Our aim is to help people, especially in these difficult times when we are facing global economic crisis," said Taranenko to The Baltic Times.
"Our motto is 'You work - We care' and this is really true of us, we really try to take care of our clients and to keep our reputation on a high level, which we have earned during the long years of our work," she says.
According to her, the advantage of using an employment agency is that they work with all the customers individually, taking into consideration each person's own needs and requests. "From my side, I would like to encourage people not to lose their hope and try to find really honest agencies, those who will take responsibility for them, and their safety, as much as possible," she adds.
However, Taranenko goes on to give some practical and universal advice, which is important to know in order not to be cheated by any of the illegal agencies.
"First of all, it is important to check if the agency is registered. The next step to take is to ask for a contract, right on the spot, when you are already offered a job. And it is always good to check the detailed information about the employing company, on the Internet, and to leave your contact information of the employing company with your relatives, or with close friends in case of trouble.
"It is important to understand that nowadays we are having hard times, and that it is hard times for everybody, and we must try to find ways out of this situation. It is important not to go into panic but to try to find solutions to the existing problems," she says.
In fact, Taranenko mentions the fact that most of the people who are leaving the country in search of work abroad are women, quite a surprising thing.
Working in this industry for more than 20 years, they have become experts at the trade and know what clients need and want, and how to help them. According to Taranenko, if one were to make a parallel between Estonians and Russians living in Estonia , there isn't much difference in the percentage of which group uses employment agency services more, when deciding to leave the country and work abroad.
She also says that "the most relevant positions which have demand are in the services sector, positions for cooks, hairdressers, handy craftsmen and so on."
The JT Agentuur company, though in existence since 2001, has experienced greater demand from those looking to work abroad after 2004, when Estonia joined the EU and the situation in the EU was getting better by the day.
"Most of all for the seasonal work we offer our service in countries such as the U.S. and Australia, the reason is that the work is generally for youths who can generally speak English, also that it is mostly young people who will go off for seasonal work," says Taranenko. Unfortunately, most elderly people don't know the different languages.
"We have programs such as Work and Travel, which is considered to be aimed at more for youth, as there is some age limit. For example, the age limit for the program in the U.S. is 28 years old. But if we don't take the age limit into consideration, then mostly people will prefer Ireland and Great Britain, because in comparison with all the other EU countries, the offered jobs in these areas are better paid, and equally important is that there are a lot of employment opportunities for those who are under 30, and the offered jobs are gardening, various kinds of work in factories and so on," explains Taranenko. "There are a lot of students who use our services for working and traveling at the same time," she adds.
According to Ministry of Social Affairs' chief specialist in labor markets, Oie Jogiste, legal entities governed by private law, and sole proprietors, have the right to provide labor market services if they are listed as a provider of labor market services in the register of economic activities.
According to Jogiste, to check on any registered company, its information can be viewed at Web site http://mtr.mkm.ee by clicking on "Otsingud è Registreeringu otsing" from the menu on the left-hand side of the front page and then choosing "Tooturuteenuse osutamine" from the 'Tegevusala' menu.
"Private companies are forbidden to charge job-seekers for employment mediation services. If it later transpires that a company charged a person a fee, this will be considered as a provision of false data. On the basis of the Register of Economic Activities Act, individuals would be fined up to 100 fine units for the provision of false data, and legal entities up to 20,000 kroons (1,280 euros).
The Labor Market Services and Benefits Act states that "only employers or other private companies or sole proprietors may be charged fees for employment mediation by legal entities governed by private law," says Jogiste.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Frequenting your neighborhood farmer's market is a great way to support local agriculture and reduce your food miles. But what if you want to go further? Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is the option preferred by eco-enthusiasts looking for practical solutions to their food problems that also benefit local farmers and the environment over the long term. Plus, they're an incredibly convenient way to buy fresh and seasonal foods – everything from tomatoes to fresh flowers to cheese to apple pie.
What is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) System?

Just what exactly is a CSA and how does it work? Get the basics on how CSAs encourage sustainable food production in your community and how that can benefit you and your family.

What to Expect When You Join a CSA

Hear first-hand testimonials via video interviews of actual CSA subscribers to get a taste for what it's like to be involved in community supported agriculture.

This is a lot of drama about nothing, and you're getting very worked up over it.
Thank you. I know, I know... I think my reaction to this is a delayed reaction over realizing she almost certainly is pregnant.
The kids are with her until Monday. My six year old DD just texted me, "Daddy mommy isn't feeling good."
I have not responded and do not plan to unless the kids are in clear distress. Likely her boyfriend isn't around and she can't handle the kids and doesn't want to tell me to rescue her--but is letting DD know poor baby isn't feeling good in hopes that I will get them (as usual) without telling me herself.
Welcome to just a taste of the wonderful new life you've made for yourself. (Sorry if I am being spiteful, but I am very angry right now.)
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
The kids are with her until Monday. My six year old DD just texted me, "Daddy mommy isn't feeling good."
Document it. Do you have a notebook to jot down everything? I wish I had done this - kept every single note in one place.
It's shameless to put the children in the middle and use them as messengers.
Playing video games is not a reason for an affair. There is never a reason a affair is ok. However, how much do you play video games? Because it CAN be an issue.
I would agree with this. My husband was the one who cheated, but part of the decline in our marriage (which he blames on me) was because he was checked out. His video games (and football) were more important than anything else. It became a cycle because he would want to sit on his ass and play his games all night and have nothing to do with me and then come to bed and I was supposed to perform. $&{% that! Resentment is a mood/relationship killer. When we separated one of the first I did was get rid of that effin play station. Ripping it out of the back of our tv felt amazing!
Edited because I was projecting.
Editin again because I'm not supposed to edit. AD, video games were a major issue in my marriage (along with him being a narcissistic dick, but I digress), so I am sensitive to issues surrounding them. In my post prior to edit I was accusatory that I think it's wrong for your kids to be running the neighborhood at 9 and 6 while you play video games. I stand behind that. Your wife is a douche of epic proportions, obviously, but just because her douchery is trump, doesn't mean you should use that as a baseline for "good." If you're gaming while you're kids are gone or in bed, good for you. Enjoy your time and relax, I'm sure you could use it! If however you're doing it a lot while the kids are left to their own devices, you may want to consider whether that is the best use of your time.
Okay, shutting up now!
[This message edited by thenon-goddess at 9:38 PM, November 16th (Saturday)]
You have stated often the kids have always been your focus, and that you have taken them to most events and appointments throughout your life. I know the kids were never running around in any danger while you play.
Just ignore her, and don't worry about this. The next thing she tries to subpoena? Tell your lawyer to tell them to stuff it if it's frivolous. She's lost her mind.
WH says marriage is over: May 15, 2009.
EA#2 July 20, 2009. Legally sep: Aug 16, 2009. DIVORCED!!!! Signed Nov 23, final Dec 24, 2010, adultery listed.
I'm telling you this to prepare you emotionally. I had no idea that perjury means nothing in the family court system. It was very hard for me to accept because I try to be an honest person who lives a life of integrity. So, prepare yourself, brother. Your STBX is doing a lot of things mine did. You need to bring a shit-ton of evidence to the trial so that if she lies maybe your lawyer can rebut it immediately and affect the outcome more in your favor.

I second this. I'm in the middle of Court AND a six-month child custody evaluation (initiated by me). The only thing you can do if they lie is to bring enough evidence as possible to discredit them. Hopefully if a judge sees that they clearly lied in one area, he/she will believe that they're lying across the board even if you can't always prove it.
And read the book Splitting if you haven't already!!!

^^^^^^^this was my XH. I second bringing all the proof you can to court. I had it ready when my attorney needed it. It was a CS modification trial.
When the judge handed his decision down (a couple of weeks after trial), XH sent a 2 line email " You won. The judge believed your lies!"
I wasn't the one lying. I was the one with proof of his lies.
No matter what happens , believe your truth.
"...part of the decline in our marriage (which he blames on me) was because he was checked out. His video games (and football) were more important than anything else."
This is what my STBX kept claiming as well (I'm not suggesting that you are simply "claiming it" and therefore it was not true in your case).
When our marriage was at its most strained, here was the scene: I had been home alone with both kids since 2:00. Both kids have Tourettes, which has many accompanying comorbidities. Bottom line, it was incredibly stressful. My STBX would arrive home very late, coming into a chaotic scene: overtired kids needing to be put to bed, and a husband who by that point had had it and would retire to the other room to play games for awhile--NOT excessively--just to decompress.
So she resented me for "fleeing" and I resented her for working such long hours and being so career-driven.
(Note: I implored her many times to quit her job or take a long break--a year or so--or look for another career and we could downsize our life.)
However: she never really communicated to me that she was so unhappy--only after and during the affair. The reason why I did not radically alter my behavior (i.e., curtail or cut out my gaming) was because in between these spats we got along wonderfully--intimate lovemaking, long talks, vacations, just normal nice family time.
I asked her at one time why she just didn't tell me: "Hey, I'm falling for another guy because I feel you've checked out." For if she had simply and bluntly communicated to me this shocking information I would have leapt into action immediately. Tossed that Xbox right out and began MC.
Instead she said lamely, "I always try to see the good in people." This was a weak rationalization, did not really answer my question, and did not excuse her ongoing infidelity--especially when it came to light and she saw how devastated I was and how our children were suffering.
The fact is SHE had checked out and lacked the courage to tell me that if things don't improve she would divorce me. Instead she chose to compartmentalize, live a secret life, and leave our family. Simply, she was happy eating cake.
When I did realize I was losing her (correction: I already lost her; I just didn't realize it at the time) I did make this among other changes--no more video games. More family time. But she said, "Yes, you have changed, and I love you so much for that, but I'm not ready yet to change."
Total self-serving cruel bullshit.
I hope this helps clarify. I never had any "addiction" to video games as she will allege, and I most certainly don't play when the kids want my attention and time.
Thank you for your thoughts and support.

Do you think you have any responsibility for the state of your marriage? Not the affair but the marriage?
I don't think it's ok for any parent or husband or wife to check out no matter what the reason, or the matter in which they choose to check out.
I honestly think depending on how much you are/were gaming you may need to be worried about the subpoena.
If I had it to do again, I would have shut out the clatter from WH, and enjoyed every day with my children, since they are only young once!
Also, I have noticed since my D that the OW and my XWH always squawk when they don't want me looking at THEIR actions....like, when I told my XWH his woman is busy with other men while he is at work! Lord, you wouldn't believe the crap she pulled to get the focus off of herself.

So never once prior to her having an affair did she ever tell you that she had an issue with your gaming?
Yes, we did discuss it, and I curtailed it. But I also implored her to do her part, to come home earlier to help with the kids so we could avoid these stressful scenes. And she would not.
Do you think you have any responsibility for the state of your marriage? Not the affair but the marriage?
Of course I do. Did I suggest otherwise? As they say, I take 50% responsibility for any problems in the marriage. And again, it was largely a wonderful marriage, a happy family--as STBX and I often acknowledged. The previously-described weeknight scenes were the low-points. But even they were in the range of normal family strife.
Oh, and BTW, my STBX was CONSTANTLY texting (even before the affair), to the point where both I and the kids would repeatedly ask her to stop. For example, on Saturday mornings, when we would finally have some time together as a family, we would pile into the car, and immediately the texting and/or phoning would begin. So Hummingbird, she did her own checking out.
Finally, DS has complained to me on several occasions that when he is with his mom, she is always texting or on the phone. Maybe I should subpoena A T & T? ;-)

I think my kids possibly being exposed to COD and zombies is just a little trumped by my son finding a picture of his mother's breasts texted to someone who isn't his daddy--while he was at his mother's home.
(She flew out of town and had an airport taxi meet her at my house this morning after she was late getting the kids to school. I was already at work so could not say anything.)
Apparently it is triggering me badly. Very depressed. Like a ghost in my driveway. Just when I thought I was over the worst of the "I miss my family's." Guess not...

Force India target 'home race' podium
27 June 2012 – After a strong performance in the European Grand Prix, Force India team principal Vijay Mallya is hoping new upgrades will help the team score their first Formula 1 podium. Nico Hulkenberg and Paul Di Resta finished fifth and seventh, achieving the team's biggest points score of the season.
"Nico Hulkenberg was on a traditional two-stop strategy and had the opportunity to pit under the safety car, so guts and luck came together," he said in an interview for Formula1.com. "We are really proud of the result, even though it was a bitter pill when Nico Rosberg overtook Paul (di Resta) on the last lap but his tyres were old and Rosberg had fresh tyres."
Despite the team's impressive result in Valencia, Mallya believes the drivers could have had an even better one after mistakes in qualifying.
"I was hoping for a better qualifying result, but in Q3 maybe both overdrove the car, locked up the wheels etc. So we started eighth and tenth while I was actually hoping to start in the top five."
"I have never regretted my decision about the drivers. On the contrary, I think we have two potential world champions in this team. They are both exceptionally talented. I am very delighted to have them."
The Silverstone based team now look forward to their second home race, India being the second.
"We regard Silverstone as one of our home races," he said. "Our headquarters is just a stone's throw from the track. We'll do whatever it takes to bring as many upgrades as possible to be even more competitive. We want to be on the podium. I think we're close to it now."

Cliff Lee (4-5, 3.94) left a lot to be desired, again, and the Nationals, behind a 3-for-4, two-homer performance by early Rookie of the Year candidate Danny Espinosa, snapped a six-game losing streak against the Phillies.
Beerleaguer: Lee has been living life up, up, up in the zone, and 19 walks, including three Tuesday night, already puts him over last-season's thrifty 18. Eight home runs allowed is also more than the Phils would prefer. We haven't seen the best from Lee, or Roy Halladay, in 2011, but we're starting to see the cavern widen between the elite, best-in-class of Halladay, who "labors" to a quality start when he's off, and Lee, who can surrender runs faster than any pitcher on staff when he isn't hitting the corners and keeping the ball down.
How much digital ink should be spilled about Danys Baez and Mike Zagurski? At the end of the day, Baez is a soft, fringe Major Leaguer and Zagurski just can't get through a clean inning at this level, no matter how many times the Phillies tee him up with one. Neither one would have been out there if the game was on the line.
Has fatigue set in? The Phils haven't been off in a while, it's hot, and it's starting to show. It's the second real dud in three games. This is where having some young and hungry guys really helps, and it's no surprise that Domonic Brown and John Mayberry provided the lone highlights with back-to-back jacks in the fifth.
Good game by the Nats. It's how I imagine the Nats look against every other club but the Phillies; their lineup can look pretty decent. This ... by the way ... was the largest margin of victory by an opponent this season.

Walking the Walk Alumni
Walking the Walk Alumni encourages youth to stay involved with the goals and mission of the Interfaith Center after they graduate from Walking the Walk. Alumni events, which are planned by a student planning committee, include service-learning projects, speaking opportunities at public events, and leadership workshops. Some alumni serve as Student Group Leaders, working as assistants for their Walking the Walk network, or as members of the GreenTeam, who lead the Day of Environmental Action.
All Walking the Walk alumni are encouraged to get involved with this initiative! See the schedule of upcoming alumni events or apply to be a Student Group Leader below.
"I was so captivated by the program I couldn't just let it slip through my fingers, so I returned as a Student Group Leader this year with my Christian and Muslim friends. There is absolutely no down side to this program." —Mara, Walking the Walk Alumni Student Group Leader, West Philadelphia Network, 2010-2011.
Highlights from Walking the Walk Alumni
View photos from past alumni events!
Upcoming Opportunities
We are looking for Walking the Walk Alumni to serve in a leadership position in an exciting new initiative – the Walking the Walk Alumni Board! The alumni board aims to promote a sense of community between the alumni of the WTW program. The board will gage the needs and interests of alumni and create a method for Walking the Walk participants to continue their engagement in the Interfaith movement beyond the year of the program.
We are interested in creating a board of high school and college-age students and beyond. Think about applying if you are interested in outreach to fellow alumni through events and programs.
The time committment would be 1-2 in-person meetings per year, along with phone and e-mail check-ins before major events. Alumni would serve a two-year term on the board.
Please return the Alumni Board application form to Margie Scharf firstname.lastname@example.com by August 14th if you are interested.

A religious tradition which is important to me is the shabbas. This is because when I was little, my family and my uncle's family would meet every Friday for shabbas. In fact, the first way I marked time was "how many shabbasas away" an event was.
My favorite part of the Walking the Walk year, if I must pick only one, would be going to the mosque or Sikh temple, as these were faiths that I had never had much direct contact with before, but had wanted to learn more about.
A "fun fact" about myself would be that I never give anything less than 200% to a task and accept no substitutes but success in some form or another.
Sarah Elmongy, Suburban-West/Media Network
A religious tradition that is very meaningful to me: After a long month of fasting, Ramadan is followed by another holiday called Eid al-Fitr. Eid literally means holiday and Fitr means breakfast. On Eid al-Fitr we greet one another with "Eid Mubarek" or "Happy Holidays". My family makes a huge feast that consists of mostly lamb, followed by tons of different desserts. We also exchange gifts and my sister and I usually receive money from our relatives. Eid is sort of like a Christmas for my family and I love how it brings us all together.
My favorite part of the Walking the Walk year: I have two favorite parts: cleaning up the park and creating a religiously accommodating school. Cleaning the park not only created a bonding experience with the other Walking the Walkers early in our year together, but it also created a sense of immediate accomplishment. After a day of hard work, we were able to admire the good that we had done for our community. Creating a school that accommodated students from many different faiths was our last task together. This task was the long term result of our journey throughout the year. Creating the school allowed us to reflect on our experiences together and pushed us to use our new found knowledge.
A "Fun Fact": I am part of my schools rowing team in the spring and I love it. I row about six days a week and love being out on the river.
Quinia Evans, Northwest Philadelphia Network
A religious tradition that is meaningful to me is that during service we greet one another and pass the peace to everyone.
My favorite part of my year in Walking the Walk was all of the service projects. They helped me to be more grateful for what I have.
Fun Facts: I love singing. I also love animals.
Jami Gross, West/Central Philadelphia Network
A religious tradition that is very meaningful to me is my tallis. As a Jew, you are given a tallis upon becoming a bat/bar mitzvah and my parents gave me a tallis that is very special to me and something I will cherish and hold close to me forever. They used my baby quilt as the fabric for it and in addition wove my baby blanket that I slept with for years into the part of fabric that rests on my shoulder, allowing me to hold a piece of my childhood very close to me as I pray. Also, on the underside of the tallis are pictures of my entire family tree: great grandparents, grandparents, parents, cousins, etc. allowing me to hold my family close to me as well. I hope that one day I can make my children tallis that are just as beautiful and special as the one my parents gave to me.
My favorite parts of my Walking the Walk year were the days we volunteered at the Inglis House. The Inglis House is a home for handicapped people and having the privilege of volunteering there was truly an eye-opening and meaningful experience. Meeting with the residents helped me grow as a person and look at my life from a different perspective. It opened my eyes and helped me realize and appreciate how truly fortunate I am for all the things I have – even the little details I often take for granted. Working with the residents helped push me out of my comfort zone, forcing me to take on a whole new kind of experience and situation. I was amazed how much I could learn from some of the residents about their faiths as well as my own. I learned how important it is to appreciate what you have and to be open to new experiences.
A fun fact about myself… I love to travel. I've been lucky enough to go to a lot of cool places like Israel, Costa Rica for 4 weeks, California for 6 weeks, Maine, Jamaica, Turks and Caicos, the Dominican Republic, and more. I have two dogs. My favorite flavor ice cream is coffee. I can slalom (one ski) waterski. And I love to run.
Arman Hassan, Suburban-West Network
A meaningful religious tradition: For me, fasting during Ramadan itself isn't as meaningful as the Iftar feast. Breaking the fast gives me an opportunity to sit together with my family, and enjoy interaction that normally I don't get to have. Not to mention I love stuffing myself with as much food as possible.
Favorite part of the Walking the Walk year: My favorite experience with Walking the Walk was speaking as a Youth Panelist at the "Dare to Understand" event. I got the chance to voice my experiences and opinions, and I got to practice my advocacy skills that extended beyond just discussion.
Fun facts about myself: My favorite TV show is "Dexter" and I used to eat dry instant noodles as a kid.
Elise Higgins, Suburban-West Network
One of my favorite religious traditions is going to 3 churches with all of my cousins on Maundy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter. My family gets together for the holiday weekend, and on this night we all go to the churches and do the Stations of the Cross at each.
My favorite part of Walking the Walk this year was when we went to the Sikh society. Their religion is so different from mine in most ways, but there are some similarities which were interesting to learn about. Also, I really enjoyed the community meal that was served afterwards.
A fun fact about me is that I have been dancing for almost 10 years.
Kyra Lesser, Suburban-West Network
A religious tradition that is meaningful to me is Hanukkah. The way that my family and I take time out of our day to make sure we can all come together and light the candles on the menorah is something I have cherished since my childhood. And, getting presents after we're done isn't too bad either!
My favorite Walking the Walk experience was going to the Sikh temple. The service was absolutely beautiful and the colors and music transported me to another world. The food was amazing as well, and I never could have had that experience if I didn't do Walking the Walk.
A fun fact about me is that I love Hip Hop! I love both the music and the style of dance. I pursue it through my school's dance team, classes, and even teach it to younger students.
Matt Newman, Wissahickon Network
A religious tradition that is very meaningful to me is every year for Yom Kippur my family and I get together in order to break-the-fast.
My favorite part of the Walking the Walk year is the beginning, because I love to see old friends and also make some new friends as well.
A "Fun Fact" about myself is that I love to play tennis.
Nicole Thompson, Wissahickon Network
A religious tradition that is meaningful to me is Christmas, when friends and family come together to spend time together, and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
My favorite part of the Walking the Walk year would have to be, whenever we get to do community service. Helping to make the community better is always fun and satisfying!
A fun fact about me is that I love traveling across the world!
Rogena Rezkalla, Suburban-West/Media Network
A religious tradition that is meaningful to me is Christmas because it's the time where everything is just perfectly made. I think that because my family is around me. The Christmas carols, decorations, and presents just make me so happy. But that's not all that matters, because it is the time of the year to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
My favorite part of Walking the Walk was going to the farm and harvesting the fruit that I did not know who was going to eat it or what was going to happen with it. But, it also taught me a lesson about how food products relate to different religions. But above all, the Walking the Walk group that I had gave me an opportunity to meet different people of different religions.
A fun fact about myself is that I like to play soccer and enjoy dangerous rides at amusement parks. I also love trying out different recipes with a" pinch of Rogena" that I put in.
Mickey Viola, Suburban-West Network
An important religious tradition for me is prayer. I think that is the most universal thing we can do to become close with God. I think that just talking to Him is the most important thing you can do.
My favorite part of my Walking the Walk year: All of it. I loved just learning and growing with a group of new people I didn't know before.
A "Fun Fact": I have a 22 year old sister who gets mistaken for my twin all the time and if you ask them who's older they think I am.
Margot Weitz, West/Central Philadelphia Network
One religious tradition that is very meaningful to me is getting together with my family during the high holidays. Although this tradition may seem simple, it is this simplicity that makes it meaningful. Spending time with my family during the Jewish holidays enforces the values of relationships and hospitality.
My favorite part of Walking the Walk last year was volunteering at Inglis House. This work helped me learn important life lessons, including not to judge a book by its cover. It also allowed me to meet a lot of new and interesting people!
One fun fact about me is that I play volleyball. I am on varsity for Lower Merion High School and it is my favorite sport!

Here's what's new in books this week:
GABRIELLE DOUGLAS: Olympic gold medal gymnast Gabrielle Douglas has released her book "Grace, Gold, and Glory." She revealed her message for everyone who looks up to her on Katie Couric's show.
"No matter where you come from, no matter what your background is, no matter what nationality you are, if you believe and trust in yourself, anything is possible, and you can achieve anything," said Douglas.
J.R. MARTINEZ: War veteran and "Dancing with the Stars" champ J.R. Martinez has a new book called "Full of Heart: My Story of Survival, Strength, and Spirit." He's been through a lot, and shares his inspirational message on "Ellen"
"I believe everything happens for a reason and you just have to trust the path when change happens in your life, and just run with it and trust yourself and trust life and it works out. The time's always right," said Martinez.
WILLIAM DAVIS: Finally, "Wheat Belly" author William Davis claims wheat is as addictive as many drugs and is killing us. He explains his weight loss and health secret on Dr. Oz.
"You lose the wheat, you lose the appetite stimulation, you lose the weight, and it happens easier than you thought," said Davis.

Romanian living in Skokie gets 7 years for $1.6M tax fraud
SUN-TIMES MEDIA WIRE April 15, 2013 3:32PM
Updated: May 19, 2013 6:44AM
A north suburban man convicted of being the U.S. leader of an international conspiracy that received about $1.6 million in fraudulent tax returns will spend more than 7 years in federal prison.
Ovidiu Isac, 31, a Romanian native living in Skokie, directed 23 co-conspirators in the Chicago area who used their bank accounts to receive the phony refunds and divert the money to Romania after taking a cut, a statement from the U.S. Attorney's office said.
A total of at least 470 false returns, claiming $4,000-$7,000, were filed in the names of Romanian citizens who had previously visited the United States on exchange student visas and filed returns, but were no longer in the country, prosecutors said.
Isac was sentenced Friday to 85 months in prison and ordered to pay $1.64 million by U.S. District Judge Charles Norgle, who also ordered that he deported after serving his sentence, according to prosecutors. Isac had pleaded guilty in January to conspiracy to defraud the government and theft of government funds.
The false returns caused a loss of more than $1.6 million to the U.S. Treasury from tax years 2007-09, according to prosecutors. They were filed in the names of real people who were unaware their identities were being used as they no longer lived in the United States.
At least 200 bank accounts in the names of more than 75 people were used to receive the money, some of which was kept and some of which was diverted to Romania, prosecutors said. In one case, Isac and co-conspirators physically attacked individuals associated with one suspect who refused to pay Isac his cut.
The returns included names and Social Security numbers of individuals who had traveled to the United States on temporary student visas and filed tax returns, but who no longer live here and were unlikely to file again.
Isac was arrested in April 2010 and with 23 co-defendants, 19 of whom have been convicted, while five remain fugitives.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker has withdrawn the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents nomination of a UW-Platteville student whose name appears on the petition to recall Walker.
Walker spokesman Tom Evenson would not comment Thursday on why Joshua Inglett's nomination was being withdrawn.
RightWisconsin.com reported on Wednesday that Inglett's name was on a database of those who signed the petition that led to Walker's recall election last year.
Inglett tells WKOW-TV that he told the governor's office on Wednesday that he signed the petition. Later that day, Inglett says he was told his nomination was being withdrawn.
Inglett says he wasn't asked prior to Wednesday about whether he signed the petition.
Inglett was one of three appointees to the Board of Regents announced on Monday.

Chiniot's traditional furniture is known for its intricate craftsmanship. It is easy to fall in love with the furniture here, but not so easy to witness the ugliness that surrounds those who create such beauty. Deplorable working conditions and abysmally low wages thrust one right into the center of the cycle of exploitation that continues to surround most skilled labor in the country.

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) launched an iOS smartphone mobile application, the "Rail Crossing Locator," which provides the public with easy access to safety information about the nation's more than 200,000 highway-rail grade crossings.
The Rail Crossing Locator app works by prompting users to enter a specific location, which then allows them to locate highway-rail grade crossings in their area and retrieve important information, such as the physical characteristics of a crossing and the type of traffic control devices used.
The app allows users to report information about grade crossings to the FRA to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date information is available. This new app is free through Apple's App Store and can be used on any iPhone or iPad.
Over the past decade, highway-rail incidents have declined by 34%, and deaths resulting from these events have fallen 30%. However, while the total number of incidents has been trending downward, collisions at highway-rail crossings remain a challenge to safety. Last year alone, highway-rail crossing collisions accounted for nearly 20% of all reportable rail accidents and incidents and represented nearly one-third of all rail-related fatalities.
The continuing decline in crossing incidents, injuries and fatalities is attributable to ongoing multifaceted public education efforts, engineering approaches to improve grade crossing safety and enforcement efforts carried out by FRA, railroads, states, localities, Operation Lifesaver Inc. and other partners.

Middle school students at North Washington received a crash course on the inter-workings of state legislature last Wednesday morning, as they received a visit from Rep. Kim King.

King shared her background and some of the more interesting aspects of being in legislature before taking questions from the youngsters.
Last year, the Mackville Harvest Festival was put on for the first time in eight years. Because of the success of its revival in 2013, it will be back again this year and perhaps bigger than ever.
The festival has expanded to two days—Friday, Sept. 12 and Saturday, Sept. 13—this fall, with last year's festivities only lasting one.
Festival committee member Donna Harmon hopes this extra day can bring in even more guests — especially out-of-towners — than it did last year.
Last Friday, the Washington County Fiscal Court met in regular session, with the most pressing issue being the first reading of the property tax rates for 2014.
In the previous court meeting, Washington County Judge-Executive John Settles urged the court to make a decision on whether or not to raise county property taxes so that County Attorney Hamilton Simms could be prepared for the first reading last week.

An alleged Springfield drug dealer is behind bars at the Boyle County Detention Center after a month-long manhunt.
U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force members arrested 51-year-old John Michael Essex last Monday night at an unnamed Nicholasville motel, according to Boyle County Sheriff Marty Elliott.
"They called for local agencies for assistance," Elliott said. Boyle and Mercer county deputies, Kentucky State Police troopers and Nicholasville police responded.

When Bethany Wheatley started playing volleyball during her seventh grade year, she didn't know whether or not she would stick with it. She enjoyed the game, sure, but she wasn't positive that she wanted to continue playing once she got into high school.
It wasn't until her eighth grade year that she decided she would be a Washington County Commanderette volleyball player.
It turned out to be the right decision.
In the team's fifth match of the season, the Washington County Commander boys' golf team was able to defeat the Green County Dragons for its third win of the year.
WC posted a 183 as a team while Green shot a 216.
The Commanders were led by freshman Landon Taylor, who carded a 42 on the evening.
Senior Luke Mattingly and junior Evan Mattingly each added scores of 44. All three of WC's top scores bested Green's top scorer, who recorded a 45.
Freshman John Mann rounded out the Commanders' final score with a 53.
Last week, the Washington County Commanderette volleyball team opened its 2014 season by knocking off the Danville Admirals last Thursday in three straight sets (25-7, 25-10, 25-7) and winning its opening-season game versus the Campbellsville Eagles in consecutive sets as well (25-13, 25-19).
The Commanderettes were able to build off their strong performance against Campbellsville on Thursday, taking control of the game from the very start.

The wood for the paddles need to be a bit more firm. Seems like if the kids play with it for an hour it would break, that's how flimsy the wood is. Overall the Monkey design is very colorful and cute.

Lady Felina (Diana Knight) is lounging in her lair when O-girl (Christina Carter) arrives. Unfortunately, for O-girl, Lady Felina has been expecting her. O-girl walks through a trip wire and is engulfed in a noxious gas. Within seconds her arms are pulled into her sides and she stiffens up, unable to move. Lady Felina pulls O-girl down into her lap and explains to the writhing form that she has been exposed to her patented paralyzing gas. O-girl awakens to find herself strapped down to a slab in Lady Felina's lab. Unable to move, O-girl is helpless as Lady Felina brings her to orgasm with a large vibrator. Continued in clip #316

WordPress 3.6 jQuery Error! Don't panic, everything will be just fine in just a moment. You don't have to worry about downgrading either.
If you are getting this error "blockUI requires jQuery v1.2.3 or later! You are using v1.10.2″ Let me explain what's going on and how to fix the problem.
Basically your theme or plugins are using an older versions of jQuery and the developers need to update them.
We are going to get in to how to find where the problems lie in just a moment but for now here is a solution that made a quick fix for me.
I installed and activated jQuery Updater and it fixed the issue without any configuration. It actually has none so it made it really simple.
You can find the jQuery Updater download at WordPress.org for free here: http://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-updater/
This solution worked for me but it may not work for you depending on what plugins or theme you have activated.
Lets get in to pin pointing the problem so we can actually fix it without a band-aid. Extra clutter in your plugin directory of your site is never good. Remember the more you make your visitors browser call for different files and make your server serve extra files the longer your web page takes to load.
When impatient visitors come to your site many will not wait past the 3 second mark before leaving your site.
Lets move forward and clean this issue up.
Lets start with your theme. Out of all the sites we had a problem with this was the biggest culprit.
If you have installed and activated jQuery Updater go ahead and deactivate it temporarily. Go to the front end of your site and you will see the error.
Now go to the admin panel and change your theme to Twenty Thirteen.
Navigate to the front end again to see if the error is gone, most likely it is.
If so change your theme back to the theme you normally use, activate jQuery Updater.
Now you can contact the developer of your theme to tell them about the issue. You might want to ask if they have an ETA on an update and if they can send you an email when it's available.
If the error still occurs after the steps above, you need to deactivate plugins one by one until the error goes away. Once it does you have pin pointed the plugin causing the issue.
Then follow the same steps in contacting the developers about the issue/s.
I hoped this helped, if you need any help I'm a comment away.
