Every summer, we love to grow tomatoes in our back yard. And by the end of the season, we have a huge crop and tons of tomatoes to use and I love making Tomato chutney so that we can enjoy the fresh tomatoes well into the fall season. A scrapbook layout is the perfect way to preserve these memories and recipes.
Here, I used 2 different colored cardstocks as the base of my layout. Lightly sketch with a pencil, a grid for your photos.
Using the Fiskar' Everywhere punch, punch out rectangles in the grid. I used the square punch that comes with the starter set to cut out windows of 2.25 by 3.5 inches (wallet size photographs). First, align the square punch to each corner of rectangle and punch.
This is how it will look after you punch 4 overlapping squares. I then used the fingertip detail knife to complete the window.
Adhere your photos beneath the cardstock.
To add the title, using the Easy stamp press and alphas, spell the word "homemade". Press High density ink onto the stamp, and stamp onto the cardstock.
In the center of the layout, layer patterned paper and cream cardstock on an angle. Write your journaling onto this.
Using the Shape cutting set, and Uppercase letters, from a patterned paper cut alphabets to spell "tomatoes".
Place these cut out alphabets onto a paper towel, and spritz with a yellow mist or diluted paint. Allow paper to absorb the paint for a few seconds, and then pat dry with another paper towel. Allow to dry completely. Adhere title onto layout using foam tape to add dimension.
Punch butterflies using squeeze and lever punches. Adhere onto layout using foam tape.
Adhere your recipe card onto layout. Decorate the page with two patterned paper tomatoes.
Using the Leaves border punch on two different 12 by 12 inch papers, make few borders. Adhere these on an angle onto the right and left edges of the layout. Further decorate the title and recipe card with red patterned paper cut using a scallop scissor.
Mom's Easy & Quick Tomato Chutney
5 medium sized tomatoes
6 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 serrano pepper
Olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.

Glosscars 2012 - Give yourself the Benefit of the doubt...
I am obsessed with make up brushes. The softer more, kitten-paw-like the brushes are, the better. That's why I've amassed a collection that goes well into the double digits. Maybe triple digits. I am really not quite sure. As a result, I am confident that I know a good make up brush. And this little beauty from Benefit simply stands out!
What attracted me to this product is the unusual shape - it's a 2-in-1 brush, with a combination of both a slant and a dome, hence making it brilliant for packing on powder eyeshadow for an opaque finish. The rounded edge also serves as a blender - great for smoothing out harsh lines and sheering out colour. It's clever contour also allows the brush to sit remarkably well in the socket of the eye, so if you have deep set eyes... don't worry, this baby will take care of that in a hurry.
The natural and synthetic hairs are soft and high quality and they don't splay despite repeating washing and use. They have no problem picking up colour as well as minimising eyeshadow fallout. I use this brush with powder shadows, cream shadows, pigments and glitter - and it performs remarkably well with all mediums.
I love the light coloured handle - most companies seem to make brushes with black coloured handles, which makes it quite difficult to find especially if your collection rivals your local cosmetics counter. It's long enough to hold comfortably, but it also easily fits in all my cosmetic bags, brush holders and brush rolls without sticking out (I hate that!).
The price is reasonable - I have purchased poor performing, scratchy, low-end makeup brushes for $20 each...I recommend that you shell out the extra $10 and get your mitts on this high quality, go-to eyeshadow brush from Benefit! One use and you won't look back. Guaranteed.

text: Nancy Grace Still Falsely Claiming Zimmerman Said 'F**king Coon' Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 15 Jul 2013 post a comment In March of last year, the day before NBC anchor Al Sharpton's incendiary rally, and just two days before President Obama would launch the George Zimmerman case into the stratosphere with his own racially-tinged comments ("If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon."), CNN falsely accused Zimmerman of describing Trayvon as a "f**king coon." Two weeks would pass before CNN retracted this falsehood. CNN's retraction came after the audiotape of the 911 call was enhanced and it was clear that what Zimmerman had said was "f**king cold," not any kind of racial slur. In fact, there is nothing in this case or in Zimmerman's past that points to any kind of racism whatsoever. And yet, a full fifteen months after CNN's audiotape enhancement debunked Zimmerman's use of the word "coon," Nancy Grace, the star and face of CNN's sister network Headline News, is still falsely telling viewers that Zimmerman described Trayvon as a "f**king coon." Moreover, HLN didn't even bleep out the phrase. Here is Grace inflaming racial tensions with falsehoods Saturday night: - - Grace: "What I think made a difference; when that 911 tape first came out -- and everybody get read, this is graphic language -- when it first came out that Zimmerman had said "f**king coon" on the 911 call.. I mean to me, that was open and shut that that showed ill-will and hatred." That would be a very insightful comment were it not for the fact that Zimmerman did not say "f**king coon," and it seem impossible to believe that Grace doesn't know this. Apparently, the left-wing media site Mediaite is also unaware of the fact that Zimmerman did not say "f**king coon." In their coverage of the Grace's statement, they make no mention of the fact that Grace's claim is factually incorrect or that CNN was forced to walk the claim back.

Question Details: i wanted to start an escort service in california and wanted to know what steps are needed to do so?
J.M.A., Member In Good Standing Of The Connecticut Bar / FreeAdvice Contributing Attorney Answered 5 years ago| Contributor
I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. I suggest that you register a limited liability company in the state of CA. I would also make sure that you review the laws and regulations as to what services you can and cannot offer. I also suggest that you obtain insurance and make sure that your employees are independent contractors as opposed to employees. This will cut down on your costs. You should have a lawyer help you set the business and speak with your accountant.

The Clark County Sheriff is asking people to be more aware of what's going on when they're behind the wheel.
Last year there were four highway deaths, but this year there were already nine, and six of those nine people killed were not wearing seatbelts.
The sheriff says seatbelts, along with high speeds, played major roles in the accidents. He also says statistics show there will be a record number of deaths on Wisconsin roads this year.

A bestiary for Suikoden V has been uploaded.
Includes all stats, weaknesses and item drops. Sortable by almost any parameter.
Suikoden II may be heading to the PSN store soon as it has been rated for the Playstation 3 from Sony by the ESRB. This is either a good indication it's coming as a PSOne Classic or a mistake. We at Suikosource are holding our collective thumbs it's the first.
This would only apply to the US Playstation Store at the moment.
The cards list for the physical Suikoden Card Stories has been updated with all 790 cards from Chapter 2.
The list includes their ID#, translations of card titles, class and the Booster Pack they came in.

With a the PS4 having just been announced and the last numbered Suikoden game being a PS2 title it seems as if Suikoden is in a bit of a slump. Some of the members of this forum have taken Project Rainfall as inspiration to start their own movement to get Suikoden back on its feet.
The gaming media has taken notice and a few articles have been written on them and the movement:

The composer of Suikoden I and II, Miki Higashino, gave an interview to Square Enix Music Online. In it, she talks about her life and work as a composer, her approach to composition, and experiences working on several different games (including the Suikoden series).
It's a great interview (kudos to Chris Greening). Read it and discuss on the forums!
Just announced today at the Tokyo Game Show 2011! I apologize if the source of the info is not very good, as there has been a flood of posts all over the fan communities. Pesmerga at suikox put together a nicely organized post...
Siliconera.com translates the game's title as Genso Suikoden: The Woven Web of a Century. duckroll at suikox translate it as Suikoden: Centennial Tapestry.
Based on the information, the game will likely follow the same story mechanics of Tierkreis (hundreds of worlds, Mark of the Stars).
While conducting an interview on 4gamer for their new upcoming RPG Frontier Gate a couple Konami employees stated that they were designing Frontier Gate from scratch as they had previously disbanded their Suikoden team and had therefore lost all their RPG-creation know-how.
Needless to say this is grim news for the Suikoden community. But, it does not mean a new team cannot take over the Suikoden name later. Konami has done this before with other franchises, such as Silent Hill. There is also still the possibility of re-releases of existing content and side projects, such as the Pachislot machine.
You can discuss your feelings further on our forums.
The Suikoden II Stat Growth Guide was completely redone and several errors were fixed in the process:
Suikoden II Stat Growth
In addition to that, new guides were made for Suikoden IV and V:
Suikoden IV Unite Attacks
Suikoden V Armor Sets
Suikoden V Old Books
Suikoden V Oboro's Investigations
I've done a complete list of all war battle and permanent death quotes in Suikoden I. Most of these quotes are not available within normal gameplay, due to the fact that the majority of characters cannot die, so expect some lines you have never seen before!
Suikoden I War Battle & Death Quotes
And another listing made by Raww Le Klueze for Suikoden V: The locations and prices of all available antiques.
Suikoden V Antiques
Konami released video of a new pachislot machine based on Suikoden IV. Lazlo (Razro), Kika, Sigurd, and Hervey are featured in the trailer.
Source: Siliconera, thanks to Gunloc for posting this in the forums.
Raww Le Klueze made some new guides, based on the information we had on the forums for Suikoden V:
Suikoden V Initial Equipment
Suikoden V Armor List
Suikoden V Miscellaneous Item List
In 1998, 3 years after the original release, the first Suikoden was ported to the Sega Saturn, though not made by the same team it is considered a sort of Director's Cut version of Suikoden due to the game having some additional items and storylines. This guide, made by Raww Le Klueze, will show you all known and verified differences.
Saturn Comparison Guide
Suikoden II contains lots of text passages you will most likely never see, even after several playthroughs. Raww Le Klueze extracted all the lines spoken by optional characters which you bring along at the Tinto Escape Scene and L'Renouille Castle.
Sony is running an event on the North American Playstation Store commemorating the 15th anniversary of Playstation. As part of this, the original Suikoden is on sale for half price, or $3! If you haven't picked this up yet, do so and let them know that the series can still sell. edit: Suikoden is available on the North American Playstation store, not the EU store. Thanks to Raww Le Klueze for pointing this out. Discuss

Leon County Teacher Named As One of Top Five Finalists for 2010 Macy's/Florida Department of Education Teacher of the Year
Inspirational Teacher on Receiving End of Surprise of a Lifetime!
~ One of five finalists named to compete for distinguished 2010 Macy's/Florida Department of Education Teacher of the Year Award ~
Miami – Exceptional teachers have the power to inspire the dreams of future generations. Now, one inspirational teacher is going to see her dream come true. Emily Barbacci of Lawton Chiles High School in Tallahassee in Leon County has been chosen from a group of 72 teachers to compete for the 2010 Macy's/Florida Department of Education Teacher of the Year Award. Today Florida Department of Education Commissioner, Dr. Eric J. Smith, along with a representative from Macy's, made the big surprise announcement. The high school American History Teacher was called by Principal Dr. Alan Cox to the Principal's Office and told that she has been chosen as one of five finalists for the prestigious honor.
Upon receiving the good news, Ms. Barbacci was presented with a $5,000 check from Macy's and a $500 gift card. Macy's also presented a $1,000 check to the finalist's school. This year, the company will contribute over $100,000 in cash to the state-run Teacher of the Year program, as its done for the past 21 years.
For the 21st year, Macy's will sponsor and produce the awards ceremony. "Teachers are an inspiration and are extremely influential in the life of a child," said Macy's Senior Vice President, Regional Director of Stores Karin Darmanin. "Macy's is honored and excited to support Florida's educators, who do so much to shape the leaders of tomorrow," concluded Darmanin.
"Each teacher of the year finalist embodies the traits that have helped shape the success of our students," added Commissioner Dr. Eric J. Smith. "Their dedication and passion for educating children is unsurpassed and I'm so proud of their accomplishments." Commissioner Smith and Darmanin will announce the winner of the 2010 Macy's/Florida Department of Education Teacher of the Year award during a ceremony on Thursday, July 9 at 6:30 p.m. The event, hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Deborah Norville, will be held at Orlando's Hard Rock Live at Universal Studios CityWalk.
During the ceremony, the remaining 67 nominees from around the state will be recognized for their achievements and excellence in teaching. Macy's will present each of the nominees with a $750 personal cash award and a $250 grant for their school.
The Teacher of the Year will receive awards from Macy's including a check totaling $10,000 and an all-expense paid trip for four to New York City to attend the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The winner will also serve for one year as the Christa McAuliffe Ambassador for education, touring the state to spread the word about educational opportunities and challenges in the Sunshine State. To date, Macy's has contributed over $2 million to teachers throughout the state.
This year's five finalists were chosen from more than 180,000 public school teachers throughout the state by a Department of Education-appointed selection committee representing teachers, principals, parents and the business community. Each finalist is selected on the basis of outstanding ability to teach and communicate knowledge of the subject taught, professional development, philosophy of teaching, and outstanding school and community service. The winner must also show a superior capacity to inspire a love of learning in students of all backgrounds and abilities.
Lawton Chiles High School is located at 7200 Lawton Chiles Lane, Tallahassee, FL 32312.

A Historical Perspective by Sarah Lindemann-Komarova
(bio at end)
Over the past few weeks, Western media's "everything in Russia is awful" wall of sound, has achieved a screech so loud that it reminds me of a crashing meteorites––reminiscent of the 2013 one that (according to the NY Times and other western media outlets) "landed in Siberia". Except that the meteorite landed in Chelyabinsk, a city in the Urals Region.
This recent escalation in sound concerning Russia is, no doubt, in honor of the upcoming Sochi….I mean "Putin's" Olympics. I refer to the cacophony as "sound" because it is impossible to consider most of what we hear, see or read today regarding Russia as meaningful analysis or solid reporting. Denver is not in the Midwest; Chelyabinsk is not in Siberia; this sloppy agenda-driven journalism is scary, like an impending meteorite blast. The extent of the damage is impossible to assess as the sonic boom is followed by a descending flash across sky before it hits. All we know for sure is that this can't be good.

When you look back on your childhood, some of the best memories are almost undoubtedly of traditions your family had. It is these traditions that bring a sense of familiarity, of belonging, of home, to any family, and these are the times when we feel closest as a family.
Those traditions could include the holidays — Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Hanukkah, the Fourth of July, Cinco de Mayo, what have you — or they could be more personal traditions: reading before bedtime, getting together at meal times, going to church together, or other similar activities.
In my family, my little immediate family of six kids and the wife and me, we are creating our own family traditions. Sure, we still celebrate and love those traditions of the families who raised us, but we are also our own family now, and we are creating the memories of our children. It is a blessed time for us, and the bonding that comes with these traditions is more important than anything else.
So here's my question for all of you:
What are your family traditions, from your childhood, and if you have your own family now, what are the new traditions?
To get the discussion going, here are mine:
From my childhood
- Christmas mornings at grandma's
- Easter with all my cousins
- Mother's Day and Father's Day brunches
And now with my kids
- Family meetings and family day
- Making Christmas cookies with my kids and sisters at my mom's house
- Reading with my kids

Our Mission
The mission of Project Homeless ConnectTM (PHC) is to provide a single location where non profit medical and social service providers collaborate to serve the homeless of San Francisco with comprehensive, holistic services.
Brief History
An estimated 6,000-12,000 people are homeless on any given night in San Francisco. Twenty-percent are chronically homeless. Widespread foreclosures, the demands of returning veterans, and the reduction of federal funding for affordable housing create constant challenges in a declining economy. Dealing with the vexing problem requires intervention not only by government but also the community at large.
In 2004, the San Francisco Department of Public Health created Project Homeless Connect as a way to bring necessary services to the homeless. Key staff realized the need for a new and unique approach. They understood that conventional methods of service did not effectively meet the needs of the homeless.
Today, over 1,000 community volunteers partner with government agencies, nonprofits, and the private sector every two months to provide a single location with comprehensive health and human services for homeless San Franciscans. During PHC's events, participants are able to accomplish in one day what might normally take eight months.
Hundreds of corporations, nonprofits, and government agencies provide PHC and its clients with services such as dental care, eyeglasses, family support, food, HIV testing, housing, hygiene products, medical care, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, SSI benefits, legal advice, California identification cards, voice mail, employment counseling and job placement, wheelchair repair, methadone, needle exchange, and more.
In response to the changing needs of the homeless and low-income population, PHC continues to reshape its outreach strategy and improve available services. Recent modifications have included events specifically designed for veterans, families, and children.
As of March 2011, 22,290 volunteers have provided services to more than 32,462 homeless and poor San Franciscans.
The federal government's Interagency Council on Homelessness has declared Project Homeless Connect a national best practice model. PHC is replicated in over 260 cities across the United States, as well as in Canada and Australia.
Our Goals
The goals of Project Homeless Connect are to:
- Improve access to services for San Francisco's homeless.
- Engage with and maintain an active, involved volunteer base that consists of local businesses, nonprofits, and individual community members all working together to help end homelessness.
- Improve the system of care through collaboration and the sharing of best practices among San Francisco's homeless service provider community.
- Partner with the private sector, corporations, and foundations to expand service capacity and funds.

Powerbrokers or Bone Breakers?
Public Service Commission Hears Bizarre Allegations
It was an awkward moment.
Susanne Brogan of the Maryland Public Service Commission asked attorney Todd R. Chason of Gordon Feinblatt whether his client is a convicted felon.
"With respect to the 1987 charge," Chason replied, "I just don't know the details."
The exchange came toward the end of an extraordinary May 7 hearing, during which four former employees of NCG Energy Solutions told the commissioners that the company cheated customers and employees, and is owned and operated by criminals who have stalked, threatened, and even beaten former employees.
The hearing, which was initially closed to the press and public but then reopened, shined a light on an obscure industry. Although they have existed since power deregulation began in the mid-1990s, electricity brokers are little known to the public because they do not sell their services to homeowners. Brokers claim they find the best deal on electricity and sometimes help businesses "aggregate," creating a larger power customer eligible for discounts on multiyear contracts. For their services, they take a commission on every kilowatt used by their customers. The fee is folded into the monthly electric bill. NCG, founded in 2003 and based in Perth Amboy, N.J., is one of more than 250 companies licensed to "broker" electric service for businesses and institutions in Maryland. When advocates of the deregulated market in electricity talk about their model's "success," they are talking about companies like NCG.
But according to some former employees, including a key executive, NCG is not like other brokers.
Company founder and president Christopher J. Kent, 42, was convicted of bank fraud in 1988 after stealing more than $250,000 from Old Borough Savings and Loan, in Trenton, N.J., where he worked as a teller. According to news accounts, Kent placed the cash in his briefcase, abruptly quit his job, and drove his leased IROC-Z Camaro to the airport, where he caught a flight to London. He then spent 10 months as an international fugitive before returning to New Jersey to face charges and receive treatment for alcoholism and cocaine addiction.
Kent served more than a year in federal prison, according to Francis X. Smollon, NCG's former senior vice president of sales.
In its initial application for a state license, dated Feb. 12, 2008, NCG did not disclose Kent's felony record as required. Kent signed the application under penalty of perjury.
The license application itself is years late. NCG has fielded a sales force here for about two years. Last week the commission asked NCG to suspend its Maryland operations pending the company's reapplication for a license. The amended application will be expected to divulge the criminal histories of the company's principals.
NCG has sold hundreds of power contracts to businesses large and small in Maryland, according to sales director Edward Jones. It also sells in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and--until recently at least--Washington, D.C. Chason, NCG's lawyer, told the PSC that the company has a license application pending in Delaware. Some states do not license power marketers and brokers, and even the ones that do, like Maryland, do not closely monitor the industry for unlicensed operators.
Chason, who appears regularly before the PSC, says he has never taken a broker in for a license application before, and that NCG retained him just a few weeks before the May 7 hearing. The company's failure to list Kent's felony was an oversight, he says, born of inexperience in legal matters. "You can see it's a handwritten application--this is not something that has been vetted by lawyer after lawyer," he says.
Asked why a company with more than 100 employees and more than $1.3 million in monthly receipts didn't legally analyze its application, Chason says it was an error in judgment: "They figured it was simple enough to do and they did it."
But Smollon, joined by three other former employees, suggests a different motivation.
"These guys are all out of the ghetto in Trenton," says Smollon, a consultant, political operative and former New York Times executive who claims that in two years he built NCG from a 10-person operation to a multistate corporation with 150 employees. (NCG's application lauds Smollon by name as part of its "excellent executive team.")
Smollon, who left NCG last November, says he discovered Kent's past--and the criminal records of several other NCG executives--only recently. He and a brace of other former employees have been sounding the alarm over what they allege are NCG's criminal business practices for several months, shopping the story to newspapers in several states and alerting the Maryland Public Service Commission.
But at the beginning of the May 7 hearing, commission staff recommended that NCG be licensed, saying that they had not been able to substantiate the allegations and that the commission could better monitor NCG if it were licensed.
That prompted Smollon to rise and hand a thick sheaf of documents to the staffer, attorney Annette Garofalo, as well as to the commissioners and Chason. The packet included newspaper reports and court records of Kent's bank robbery, plus criminal complaints and records relating to what Smollon alleges are eight current and former employees of the company, including members of its board of directors.
The documents prompted the commission to "clear the room" of everyone not connected to the case. A City Paper reporter and photographer protested, and after a 10-minute session and 15-minute recess, Douglas R.M. Nazarian, the PSC's counsel, announced that the meeting would be reopened because the material presented by the former employees was not proprietary corporate information that could be protected under the Maryland Public Information Act.
Renee Musicus, who says she worked as a saleswoman for the company for a year in Maryland, Bryan Cicalese, a Manhattan-based salesman, and Jay Valentine, who says he sold electricity contracts for NCG for 10 months before being fired in January 2008, then told the commission that NCG routinely overcharged customers by secretly inflating the commission it took on power sales. By folding part of its fee into the basic electricity price, NCG also cheated its sales staff out of part of their commissions, the former salespeople claimed.
"NCG had us out there lying to the customers without knowing it," Cicalese testified, adding that he discovered the scheme only after another disgruntled employee released a company spreadsheet that showed the hidden charges. In one case, Cicalese said, NCG charged almost three times its stated rate.
Musicus and Valentine said they saw similar problems in Maryland. After the hearing, the two said they had negotiated a contract for Dundalk's Eastpoint Mall, but the electricity supplier, Constellation Energy, rejected the contract and refused further deals with NCG because of the overcharges.
The salespeople's claims are hard to verify. "Our relationships with customers and consultants are confidential," Constellation spokeswoman Jennifer Wood says. Several executives at Eastpoint Mall tell City Paper that the contract in question was negotiated by an operations manager who no longer works for the company, and that the details of the contract are now held by Constellation.
NCG's lawyer sidesteps the issue of overcharging. "The truth of the matter is it doesn't really matter what the underlying numbers are," Chason contends. "The bottom line was the customer was paying what the customer was told they were going to pay."
Cicalese testified that he had been harassed and threatened by company officials and fired because they suspected he was working with a rival company founded by another former NCG executive, Richard Jingoli. He has filed criminal charges against Kent, alleging his former boss illegally obtained his cell-phone records.
"I think the big picture here is there's a lot of criminal activity in this company," Cicalese testified to the PSC. "And it starts with the owner and trickles its way down."
On April 28 Jingoli complained to the Trenton Police Department that several NCG employees, supervised by Kent, beat and kicked him as he left a church on Feb. 15. The complaint, in which Jingoli claims to have suffered "permanent damage to lip and right ear," has resulted in a court summons to Kent and the alleged assailants, Michael Cammiso, James Cardinal, and Russell Payakovich.
Jingoli did not report the assault right away because he was waiting for his assailants to "do the right thing," he says in a telephone interview. "I gave them the opportunity to apologize." He alleges that he was attacked because Kent thought that he had used Cicalese to gain inside information from NCG and steal customers, which he denies doing. He says he worked for NCG for about two and a half years and left the company three years ago. "I left at the time on pretty good terms," Jingoli says. "When an energy contract is done, it's fair game for anybody."
Jingoli neglects to mention that NCG sued his new company, Austere Energy, extracting a $90,000 settlement last fall. NCG has also sued Musicus and Cicalese, alleging they breached the company's noncompete clause and stole business away. Those cases are pending in New Jersey.
At the May 7 hearing, Chason seemed taken aback by the ex-employees' testimony. "Frankly what's happened here this morning can best be characterized as a sandbagging," he protested. "These allegations were not put on the record," even though the complainants were told to do so.
He would say little more at the hearing, and Jones, NCG's sales director who attended the hearing, also declined comment.
Kent declined to be interviewed by phone, but in a series of e-mails he answered the charges. "Mr. Jingoli conveniently filed charges a week before the hearing, alleging that I was involved in an assault on him. That charge is denied in totality. I had nothing to do with any alleged assault, nor did I have any foreknowledge or warning, else I would have acted to stop that from occurring," Kent writes.
"Mr. Smollon is believed to have authored several vicious and widely distributed e-mails attacking me personally and NCG, alleging every crime his imagination could create, and included imaginary grand jury hearings, FBI investigations, attorney general investigations, among many others. After seven e-mails of this nature, NCG contacted the U.S. Secret Service (Internet Crimes) in Newark, N.J., to file a complaint. The e-mails have ceased since they began investigating this matter in February.
"As to their claims about myself and a criminal conviction, I will share with you that when I was 19 years old, I was addicted to alcohol and drugs. My actions were not that of a sober person. In 1989, I entered treatment and began in a 12-step program. I have not had a drink or drug in over 19 years as a result of working a program of recovery."
At the end of the hearing, PSC member Brogan asked the staff if they had "heard anything here that would change your recommendation" that NCG be licensed.
The staff equivocated, saying again that they had not been able to confirm the information provided. But they recommended that the license be held up pending further investigation.
Brogan scolded them: " I would hope that, in the future, if there is a criminal record and it has not been disclosed, that should be the first thing you tell us."

[QUOTE=JetsFan24;2758867]I would fight to the death if I thought the right to sit in the comfort of my home was being threatened, but it hasn't. The danger in your mindset is that there can never be an unjust war because to call into question the justification for war is to call into question the troops. So I'm not going to be bullied into lying about these wars to make everyone feel rosey. War is a waste and every soldier's life that was lost in a war since WWII was wasted. If that offends you I apologize, but I'd rather offend you than play along with the politicians who exploit the respect people have towards the intentions of the troops.[/QUOTE]
That was pretty well said. I only disagree with you that every life lost in a war after WW2 was a waste. After 9/11, it was absolutely necessary for us to go into the Middle East. That said, i think we've been there too long and we need to pull out most of our troops. There should have been a plan in place to make it happen. I'm not gonna comment on Vietnam because i wasnt around when it was going on.
I have zero problem with people not respecting the anthem so long as they have respect for our troops. When someone says "F*&% the Anthem" or something like that, i'm sure the last thing on their mind is hating the troops

Tauer Une rose vermeille Perfume Review
Tauer Une rose vermeille Perfume Review
Perfume for Women
If Une Rose Vermeille was a sweet, that would be definitely a rose-raspberry Rahat Lokum. Sweet but transparent, fragrant and yummy in the same time, this perfume makes a statement from the first spray. It is not A rose scent, it's a whole symphony where rose and raspberry are the two leading violins.
It 's absolute brilliancy rolls immediately under your nose, as the bergamot and lemon, lovely citrus scents, along with lavender first appear on the scene, only to escort the real stars : a homemade jam of raspberry , sweet but not overly, along with the Rose, in capital R, dark red, almost black, mature, velvet and seducing,, Violet, shy in the center of the scene, wafts every now and then its nostalgic aroma, reminding you of dark red lipsticks inside sequin clutches, along this bouquet of citruses and lavender.
Like all of Mr. Tauer's creations it is not a perfume you can talk about it in just an hour, cause it needs much more time to develop, allowing you a while to enjoy its appearance before it changes again. As La Rose dries down becomes even more warm and rich, citrus settling down peacefully with the berry-rose jam and sandalwood notes, becoming more powdery .
The vanilla along with the tonka bean creeps in and the touch of ambergris makes this perfume more creamy. I have used the word ''mouthwatering'' as a description for food in my life, maybe I also did for a nice gourmand perfume,, but to this day I tried La Rose Vermeille , I've never really experienced it physically!
Head tones Lavender, Bergamot, Amalfi lemon. Heart notes: Rose, violet, raspberry. Base notes: Sandalwood, amber, tonka bean , vanilla
Mr Tauer,,,, votre Rose Vermeille est une merveille!

Stocks drop as 'cliff' sniping continues
Stocks dipped Wednesday, recording their first loss of the week. President Barack Obama and Republicans in Congress sniped at one another, and a deadline to avoid sweeping tax increases and government spending cuts drew closer.
General Motors stock surged after the government announced plans to sell its ownership stake in the company.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 98.99 points, or 0.7 percent, at 13,251.97. The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 10.98 points, or 0.8 percent, to 1,435.81. The Nasdaq composite index fell 10.17, or 0.3 percent, to 3,044.36.
The S&P 500 index had gained more than 2 percent over the previous two days in part because of optimism about a deal taking shape. The optimism seemed to melt on Wednesday, and stocks finished near their lows for the day.
GM soared $1.69, or 6.6 percent, to $27.18 after the company said it would spend $5.5 billion to buy 200 million shares of its own stock back from the federal government.
The government pledged to sell the other 300 million GM shares it owns on the open market and shed its entire ownership stake in 12 to 15 months. The government got GM stock as part of a 2009 bailout.
Glover Enterprises selects a new location
Glover Enterprises Inc. has chosen a new home for its wood, gas and pellet stove business now at the Falmouth intersection in Stafford County.
The company will move to the shopping center on Chatham Heights Road in southern Stafford that is also home to Earl's True Value Hardware.
Glover's current home will be demolished as part of the Virginia Department of Transportation's plan to improve the busy intersection of U.S. 1 and U.S. 17.
Demolition work at the intersection started Tuesday.
Other businesses located at the Falmouth intersection have already relocated.
Blazes, which sells hearth and patio products, moved to its former warehouse not far away at 19 Baron Park Road, off White Oak Road, in southern Stafford.
Jim Wicker, whose Potomac Realty Inc. brokerage firm was on Butler Road near the Falmouth intersection, moved his office to 1135 Heatherstone Drive near BJ's Wholesale Club off State Route 3 in Spotsylvania County.

While we were closed in September for yearly renovations, Dive Master Shawn Lozano better known as "C-Dog" took time out of his vacation to go to Honduras and attend the PADI Instructor Development Course with Utila Divers. The course is run by Andy Phillips and it took two weeks to complete. It entailed long days of class and water works culminating in a two day exam which he sailed thru. C-Dog has now join the ranks of PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor and he is very enthusiastic for this coming season as a Hamanasi Instructor. He is looking forward to creating fantastic new divers and impart his knowledge of the marine environment with his new students. Hamanasi is very proud of his efforts and wishes him the best of luck!
"Giant Stride For C-Dog"
"Facts on the lion-fish"
Lionfishes belong to the scorpionfish family, which includes some of the most venomous fishes in the oceans. The lionfish has striped colours and spines of about 15 inches. They tend to take advantage of their camouflage to stalk their prey and when they are close enough, the lionfish quickly open their jaws to snap up their prey. Its prey are usually small fishes, shrimps and crabs but it feeds on almost anything that can fit in their mouths and they always swallow their food whole. They feed all day long which allows them to consume much more than the average fish!
The lionfish has a lifespan of about 5-10 years and its native to the tropical Pacific and Indian oceans, but have recently been found in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea near our barrier reef, far from their natural home. They live among the coral reefs and shallow bays. This unique fish has few predators. Some fishes may try to eat them, but lion fishes' venomous spines protect them from most predators.
This family of fish, including the lionfish, are external spawners. The male expels sperm immediately after the female releases her eggs, and the eggs are fertilized as they float in the water. These eggs and the newly hatched larvae drift in ocean currents for 25 to 40 days. Once the hatchlings are large enough to swim, they leave the currents to hide among corals and rocks. It probably takes 1 or 2 years for these hatchlings to reach breeding age. A female can lay one million eggs in a year.
Lionfishes are in no way threatened, but they have recently been found in the Caribbean and along the East Coast, as far north as Long Island, NY. The presence of these Pacific fishes in the Atlantic threatens many species that have not yet evolved defences to these voracious predators.
Our warm waters are being invaded as we speak. The dangers of the lionfish are yet unknown but from the facts we know about them, we can assume that they will soon become detrimental to our second longest Barrier Reef. They live long and multiply by millions, along with that they are not prone to many predators which give them maximum chance of survival and the oomph to live.
Although there is no written law as yet to enforce this, many of our local fishermen, dive masters and environmental organizations are now taking it into their own hands to kill the lionfish. It is nature's law that the lionfish should not be a part of our ecosystem in such prevalence. Many different dive shops have begun doing this to preserve the reef.
Here at Hamanasi we have made the first step that we believe can save our reef system. This picture is one of the lionfish that we have came up with to spread the awareness. We have created posters that we have placed in our dive shop and on our dive boats to show guides and guests. So if you see any lion fish, be sure to let your dive master know! It will make a safe dive today and help our reef system to last longer for more exiting dives in the future. The Hopkins Divers dive crew are monitoring and logging each fish killed, its location and the date since this fish is still under research in the US.
Here's another idea! It has also been said that it makes a good meal for the people who have tried it; therefore the lionfish will soon be a part of many Belizeans' menu. Think of a fish that is so plentiful with no season of when to catch!

His title alone gave authority and distinction to Bishop John D'Arcy, but it was his actions and character that earned widespread respect and admiration from Catholics and non-Catholics alike in northern Indiana.
D'Arcy was the spiritual leader of the Fort Wayne-South Bend Roman Catholic Diocese both by position and in practice, always maintaining the dignity and reverence demanded of a Catholic bishop while remaining approachable and personable.
While D'Arcy will be remembered locally for his guidance and leadership of more than 150,000 Catholics in northern Indiana, he was also a beacon of light during the dark pedophile priest scandal that enveloped the Catholic Church. Far too often, the church leadership's response was to keep the transgressions quiet, moving guilty priests to new parishes where they found more victims. D'Arcy, working for Cardinal Bernard Law in the Boston diocese, began sounding the warning in 1978. In 2004, the National Review Board for the Protection of Children and Young People cited D'Arcy as a voice in the wilderness.
After the scandal erupted and D'Arcy's role in addressing the problem came to light, many Catholics – and non-Catholics – wondered whether his 1985 appointment to the Fort Wayne diocese was in part to transfer him away from Boston. D'Arcy had long emphasized a focus on the training and selection of priests, taking a sometimes-unpopular position that some priests and would-be priests were incompatible with the vital role.
While better known for his spiritual leadership, his governance of the diocese should not be diminished.
Consider that the bishop oversaw a diocese with more than 80 parishes, 40-plus schools, three Catholic hospitals, the important Our Sunday Visitor publishing arm and perhaps the nation's best-known Catholic institution – the University of Notre Dame.
He governed the diocese through a difficult time of declining school enrollment and population shifts that dropped attendance at its urban churches. After lightning caused a fire that destroyed the venerable St. Mary's Catholic Church, he made sure a new church – on a size and scale commensurate with a smaller congregation – was built in its place. Its soup kitchen mission, depended upon by so many residents, continued.
Leaders at D'Arcy's level are bound to make some unpopular decisions, however, and many Catholics mourned the closing and demolition of the aging St. Paul's Catholic Church building downtown.
Governance aside, D'Arcy excelled in the teaching responsibility of a bishop, explaining in layman's language why the church took certain positions, connecting Scripture and church dogma with current events.
D'Arcy's pro-life position was constant, clear and unequivocal. Just as he spoke out against abortion – even denouncing and boycotting President Obama's 2009 speech at Notre Dame – he spoke out forcefully against the death penalty as well. Let us realize that violence begets violence, he wrote in 2011. Killing to prevent killing does not work.
Characteristically, he responded to the news of his cancer diagnosis during a Boston visit not with sadness but faith.
On Jan. 11, after the diocese acknowledged the grave nature of his diagnosis, D'Arcy issued a statement, expressing his gratefulness to God for the extraordinary life he has given me and the grace he has poured out on me. ...
Above everything, pray for me and my soul and that I will be found worthy to enter the heavenly place that God has prepared for all of us, where I hope to meet my dear parents and so many loved ones.
After D'Arcy's death Sunday at age 80, Vince LaBarbera, the diocesan spokesman during D'Arcy's tenure, emphasized how important it was for the former bishop to return to the diocese before his death. Though he retired as bishop in 2010, he wanted to spend his last days in his former diocese.
In the last few weeks, he taught us how to die, LaBarbera said.
Bishop John D'Arcy, a spiritual leader and teacher to the very end.

Carel Struycken (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkaːrəɫ ˈstrœy̆kə(n)]; born July 30, 1948) is a Dutch film, television, and stage actor. He is best known for playing the Giant in Twin Peaks, Mr. Homn in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Lurch in the films The Addams Family, Addams Family Values and Addams Family Reunion. He is an exceptionally tall man at 2.13 metres (7 feet) and thus is often called upon to play character or comedic roles in which height plays a major part.
Carel Struycken was born in The Hague, Netherlands. When he was four years old his family moved to Curaçao, an island in the Caribbean. There, at age 15, he composed several Caribbean waltzes. At 16 he returned to his home country, where he finished secondary school. He graduated from the directing program at the film school in Amsterdam. Following that, he spent a year at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. Struycken's height is due to acromegaly.[citation needed]
Struycken collaborated on a number of projects with writer/director Rene Daalder, including the 1986 punk rock musical Population: 1, which featured Tomata du Plenty of The Screamers and which was released on DVD in October 2008.[1]
In 1978 Struycken was "discovered" as an actor at the corner of Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles by a lady who had abandoned her car in the middle of the street, calling after him: "We need you for a movie!".[2] The movie was Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Struycken played the antagonist Terak in the 1985 TV movie Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, a spinoff of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
Struycken co-starred as Fidel in the 1987 film The Witches of Eastwick. That same year, he appeared as Mr. Homn in "Haven", an episode of the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, a role he would reprise in four more episodes until 1992.
In 1991 he starred as Lurch in the feature film The Addams Family. He reprised the role in the 1993 sequel, Addams Family Values.
Carel Struycken is married to an American woman and has two children. He lives in the Los Angeles area. His brother Peter Struycken is a noted Dutch artist.[citation needed]
Struycken is also an avid photographer. He maintains a website devoted to his spherical panoramas[3] and shares a photography blog with Josh Korwin.[4]
Struycken is a vegetarian on ethical grounds.[citation needed]


text: On May 30, 2000, at 1500 central daylight time, a Geiling Sonerai II amateur-built experimental airplane, N10GX, was destroyed when it impacted the ground following a loss of control during the initial takeoff climb from the Victoria Regional Airport, near Victoria, Texas. The private pilot, who was the registered owner and operator of the airplane, was seriously injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight, and a flight plan was not filed. The local flight was originating at the time of the accident.According to a witness, the airplane departed from runway 12R. The airplane climbed to 100 feet agl, pitched nose-up, and made a "short right turn to downwind. The aircraft then stalled, the nose descended to a very low attitude and the aircraft impacted the ground." The witness added that "the engine appeared to be running normally and developing enough power" prior to the accident.Another witness reported that he observed the airplane climbing as it was entering a turn toward the south-southwest. The airplane's "right wing dropped violently as if it stalled and entered into a spin." Subsequently, the airplane impacted the ground. An FAA inspector, who examined the airplane at the accident site, reported that the fuselage forward of the front seat separated from the airframe and was destroyed by impact forces. He added that the right wing separated from the airframe and the left wing was bent aft.Multiple attempts to obtain a completed Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2) from the pilot were unsuccessful.
