Recently I made a wonderful spray perfume for my mom that smelled amazing using a blend of different fragrance oils. However, it's not always necessary to blend fragrance oils. A quick and easy way to get a perfectly lovely scent is to use a fragrance oil that is already a bit complex on it's own.

STAUNTON, Va.---The Blue Ridge Area food bank wrapped up its most important food drive of the year on Saturday.
During Stamp Out Hunger, neighbors set food donations near their mailbox for their mail carriers to pick up.
Communications Director Ruth Jones said the drive helps the food bank at the beginning of the summer slump.
She said donations usually dip dramatically during the summer months because hunger is not at the top of people's minds.
However, the need increases with families needing food assistance because children are out of school.
" It would be very difficult at the start of the summer to feed the number of people that we do without this drive. Last year in the entire region that we serve, we provided over 100,000 meals to families in need," said Jones.
Last year the bank served nearly 50,000 meals with the donated items

Keystone XL: So now what will the excuse be to delay it?
You likely recall the controversy concerning the President's denial of approval for the Keystone XL pipeline a few months back. Citing the route through the state of Nebraska as a problem, Obama decided to defer a final decision until after the election.
Up for grabs – a lot of oil and 20,000 jobs. Most saw approval as a no-brainer and the route through NE as easily "fixable". But Obama was having none of it, choosing to please his base vs. opting for jobs for Americans. Since the disapproval, Canada, where the pipeline originates, has announced plans to sell that oil to China.
Well, there's a new route through NE and local leaders have voiced strong support for the pipeline:
TransCanada has proposed a new route for the pipeline that avoids the Nebraska Sandhills, and the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality is seeking comment before it drafts its report on the new route. Port-To-Plains Alliance, which is made up of more than 100 local elected officials and community leaders, has today offered its "strong support" for the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Their reasoning seems pretty strong — if you're interested in putting Americans back to work and helping the economy:
Keystone XL will provide significant economic benefits for our region. The pipeline is expected to create approximately 20,000 manufacturing and construction jobs in the United States. It could also generate more than $5.2 billion in tax revenue to the Keystone XL corridor states. At a time when state and local governments across the country are struggling to balance their budgets, these employment and revenue benefits are critical to our region. Specific benefits for Nebraska include:
- More than $465 million in new spending for the Nebraska economy
- More than 7,500 person years of employment
- Increased personal income by $314 million
- Additional state and local tax revenues of more than $11 million
- $390 million in increased Gross State Product
And that's just Nebraska. Other states stand to gain significant revenue as well.
Then there's the issue of the Bakken Formation oil in Montana and North Dakota. It too needs the pipeline to be finished so it can efficiently ship oil from there to the coastal refineries.
Again, the major problem has apparently been solved. It's a move that would lessen our dependence on Venezuelan and Middle East oil (instead opting for supplies from a loyal and stable ally), would make the shipment of Bakken oil less costly, benefit state and Federal revenue (at a time when both entities are hurting for it) and, most importantly, create multi-thousands of jobs.
So, what excuse do you believe Obama will use to further delay or disapprove it this time?
Pushing the liberal agenda
Now that progressives, liberals, whatever they're calling themselves today, are secure in the fact that Barack Obama will be in the Oval Office for another 4 years, they plan on doing everything they can to see that he does what he said he'd do way back in 2008 - or at least what they thought they heard him say he'd do.
Those parts include climate change, drone strikes, gun control and closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, among others.
We've seen the first shots fired in the gun control advocacy (no pun intended) with the absurd Costas gun-control editorial at the half-time of an NFL game. And, of course, Dianne Feinstein is making the usual "assault weapons ban" noises.
By the way, as a complete aside, but speaking of gun control, I want to show you a classic exchange:
Can you say pwned?!
Anyway, back to the subject at hand – the liberal agenda. Remember, Obama told the Russian President that he'd be "more flexible" after his re-election. There's absolutely no reason that he won't be less politically inhibited (because in the political world, that's what "more flexible" really means) domestically as well as internationally is there?
But now? Now it's safe:
"Liberals in the media are going to be tougher on Obama and more respectful at the same time," Hendrik Hertzberg, The New Yorker's chief political commentator and a former speechwriter for Jimmy Carter, told POLITICO. "He was the champion of our side, he vanquished the foe….. [but] now liberals don't have to worry about hurting his chances for re-election, so they can be tougher in urging him to do what he should be doing."
Apparently the NY Times plans on leading the way in pushing and prodding Obama to do what he said he'd do (or what the NYT thinks he said he'd do):
The New York Times editorial page launched a series titled "Goals for a New Term," calling on the president to implement stronger gun control laws and shutter Gitmo, which he had pledged to do during his first year in office. The tone of the editorials has been sharply critical: On guns, the editors suggested Obama lacked courage. On Guantanamo, they slammed his administration for deciding "to adopt the Bush team's extravagant claims of state secrets and executive power, blocking any accountability for the detention and brutalization of hundreds of men at Guantánamo and secret prisons, and denying torture victims their day in court."
Gitmo? There are rumblings out there – again – of the Federal government purchasing a closed prison with the idea of moving the jihadists in captivity there on to the shores of the US. Seems prison is okay for the jihadists if the left initiates the idea of buying one and housing them there. But holding them in Gitmo, a place that wasn't their idea (but clearly is superior to moving them here) is just beyond the pale because, you know, it was that evil Bush's idea. So it's not about incarceration, it's about the myth of Gitmo … or something.
Obama has claimed he has no interest in climate change legislation/taxation in his second term (well, he doesn't as long as there's a Republican House … if that changes in 2014, he might develop an immediate interest). Then he's said he does. Then, yeah, not so much. So who the hell knows. But what we do know is progressives intend to try to push him on this and it certainly wouldn't surprise me if he responds positively. He certainly has nothing to lose. And it may provide a distraction if the economy keeps tanking. He can couch his attempt to tax thin air in the usual class warfare (fat cat corporations fouling the streams and polluting the air while melting the ice caps to boot). He can call for "social justice" because, you know, climate change effects those least able to afford it first … or something.
Drone strikes? Yawn. A small faction of the left concerns itself with drone strikes. It is classic leading from behind. Get over it progressives. Your President approves all those arial assasinations himself. It is part of the responsibilities that Nobel Peace Prize winners must endure.
Sarcasm aside, it will indeed be interesting to see if Obama does anything for progressives in his 2nd term. Will he become an activist president or will he vote "present?"
Well, let's see – is he taking the lead in fiscal cliff negotiations and working tirelessly with Congress to ensure a solution before the deadline or is he going on a 20 day vacation to Hawaii ending January 6th?
Mangling history leads to mangling culture
Very interesting read today by David Gordon in "Minding the Campus" (via Insty). In his piece he talks about the subject of history being at present in the best of times and in the worst of times, to mangle Dickens.
What am I talking about? Well, the blog in which Gordon's article appears subs its title with "Reforming our Universities".
Why is that important? We've talked about it in the past. It is where liberal America has set up shop for decades. And the effect is never been stronger than now. In fact, a lot of what you see as the changing attitudes in America can, I think – at least in part – be traced to academia.
Gordon notes its beginning:
This extraordinary bias began in the late 1960s with the anti-Vietnam war protests. Many participants, at least those who subsequently went into academia, have never gotten over it. Their fossilized views have made their own disciplines largely museums of dead ideologies. Another of the remarkable changes within the historical profession has been the growth of women's history. With only a negligible representation in 1975, almost 10% of all historians today identify themselves as historians of gender and women's affairs.
What bias is Gordon talking about? Well it's a bias that he sees as "mangling history" to our detriment:
The evolution of the historical profession in the United States in the last fifty years provides much reason for celebration. It provides even more reason for unhappiness and dread. Never before has the profession seemed so intellectually vibrant. An unprecedented amount of scholarship and teaching is being devoted to regions outside of the traditional American concentration on itself and Europe. New subjects of enquiry — gender, race and ethnicity — have developed. Never have historians been so influenced by the methodology and contributions of other disciplines, from anthropology to sociology.
At the same time, never has the historical profession been so threatened. Political correctness has both narrowed and distorted enquiry. Traditional fields demanding intellectual rigor, such as economic and intellectual history, are in decline. Even worse, education about Western civilization and the Enlightenment, that font of American liberties, and the foundation of modern industrial, scientific and liberal world civilization, has come to be treated with increasing disdain at colleges and universities.
Now call me crazy, but you can see easily the effect of what Gordon is talking about today in the last election. Increasingly students (and that includes further down the academic chain in high schools) know less and less about our history and traditions and more and more about, well, women's studies, gender studies, things which have little bearing on economic and intellectual history – for instance:
The problem with this is that it has helped force out many other kinds of historical enquiry. It is important to emphasize women's role in society and in history. However, it is difficult to see how a feminist perspective could contribute very much to a purely economic history of the English industrial revolution (as opposed to its social consequences), or to a diplomatic history of Europe between the Napoleonic and the First World War. As a result, these kinds of studies are receiving ever less attention.
We all understand that women and minorities were mistreated. Got it. And we all know that was wrong, with 21st Century hindsight. But what happened back when all that bad stuff was going on, in terms of economic and intellectual history, is still critically important today.
Instead history's "new focus" has helped bolster both the "victimization" and "entitlement" mentality:
Worst of all, women's history has contributed to the current holy trinity of race, gender and class that dominates the historical profession. Under normal circumstances, the tight focus on victimization would soon fade. Since oppression studies explain so little, they soon become boring. But, as a part of a political chorus demanding ever-more extravagant entitlements for key voting groups, an essential part of the identity politics that is so destructive of national unity, the trinity is ensured a long life. Historians can grow tired of an intellectual movement. Politicians of a useful political tool, never.
There is also something else beyond the fanciful and fraudulent political and academic rhetoric of "equal opportunity – affirmative action." That is jobs. Key voting groups designated as oppressed have been hired preferentially in the academy, most especially in the social sciences, including history. To justify these preferences, historians of gender and race must keep emphasizing oppression. How otherwise can their privileges be justified? Hence, the refiguring history to justify their positions in the professoriate.
We used to hear people laugh derisively when someone mentioned "political correctness". But what you're reading here is an example of political correctness run amok.
And it's effect? Read James Taranto's piece in the WSJ today. It's an incredible example of political correctness gone nuts. I'm talking about Emily Yoffe's answer to an obviously absurdly insensitive question addressed to her. However, her answer, among much of the left, is both appropriate and "correct". It's what they believe. It's what they've been taught.
Will it get worse? Well, Gordon seems to think it will:
A remarkable generational change is also coming. Most of the historians in the declining fields, economic, intellectual and diplomatic history, earned their degrees more than 30 years ago. At the same time, more than 50% of the new PhDs are now trained in women and gender history, in cultural history (a watered-down version of social history), in world and African-American history. This is going to make an extraordinary difference in what kind of scholarship will continue to be undertaken, and how the past will be taught. The history profession, seemingly innovative and robust, is in fact intellectually debilitated, and sadly reduced in scope.
If you think it is bad in the history department, you've seen what is going on in the science department (
global warming climate change "science").
Many have been hinting for years that the culture battle – the battle between individualism and freedom v. collectivism and entitlement- is being lost in academia. Gordon manages to put an exclamation point to the claim. One of the reasons our population knows less and less about economic and our intellectual history is because it has been waylaid and replaced with "disciplines" which stress entitlement and victimization.
Is it then a surprise when more and more of the population view themselves and this country through those lenses? And is it then any more surprising when they perceive government – more and more government – as the answer? Again, it's what they've been taught.

Saxby Chambliss: Poster boy for what's wrong in DC
Here is a good example of what is wrong with politics today – this time from the right:
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) on Saturday defended his decision to break with conservative activist Grover Norquist's anti-tax pledge, telling constituents he would not be "dictated to by anybody in Washington."
"I think that you sent me to Washington to think for myself. And I want to vote the way you want me to vote," Chambliss said to a group of local constituents at a Cobb County Republican party event, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I don't want to be dictated to by anybody in Washington, as to how I'm going to vote on anything."
You see, Chambliss doesn't seem to get the basic point: he made a pledge. HE made a pledge. Not someone else – him. He didn't have his arm twisted behind his back when he made the pledge. He did so voluntarily. The dirty little secret, however, is he didn't make the pledge out of principle, he made the pledge because it was politically helpful and expedient to do so at the time.
Now he wants to back out of his pledge. It is no longer expedient or helpful politically. He, like our President, is trying to blame the predicament he finds himself in – i.e. breaking a voluntary pledge – on someone else. It's their fault he's in this predicament. And by gosh he won't "be dictated to by anybody".
Well he hasn't been dictated to by anyone. Again, he voluntarily took a pledge back when it was politically helpful and popular to do so. Now he wants to bail on it. I don't know about you, but when I pledge something, I give my unbreakable word I'll do what I pledge to do. I don't enter into them lightly. And I do everything in my power to live up to the pledge.
It's about honor.
But apparently that's a concept that is passe in today's political world.
Go ahead Mr. Chambliss. Break your pledge. But remember what happened when a certain president bailed on his no new taxes pledge?
I can only hope I'll be part of the lesson teaching when your time for re-election comes. Then, by Georgia, you'll be "dictated too" by the people of this state. And you'll be looking for new work.

But remember, government knows best …
And if you need an example of why you should always rely on government to get it right, well, just consider the latest concerning the mandated use of
food ethanol for fuel:
The AAA says the Environmental Protection Agency and gasoline retailers should halt the sale of E15, a new ethanol blend that could damage millions of vehicles and void car warranties.
AAA, which issued its warning today, says just 12 million of more than 240 million cars, trucks and SUVs now in use have manufacturers' approval for E15. Flex-fuel vehicles, 2012 and newer General Motors vehicles, 2013 Fords and 2001 and later model Porsches are the exceptions, according to AAA, the nation's largest motorist group, with 53.5 million members.
"It is clear that millions of Americans are unfamiliar with E15, which means there is a strong possibility that many may improperly fill up using this gasoline and damage their vehicle," AAA President and CEO Robert Darbelnet tells USA TODAY. "Bringing E15 to the market without adequate safeguards does not responsibly meet the needs of consumers."
Ya think?
Hey look buddy, the ideological agenda waits on no one and if you're among those driving the 228 million "other" vehicles, tough nuts.
The government has said 15%. Nuff said.
BMW, Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota and VW said their warranties will not cover fuel-related claims caused by E15. Ford, Honda, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo said E15 use will void warranties, says Darbelnet, citing potential corrosive damage to fuel lines, gaskets and other engine components.
Gee, I wonder if anyone will question the "fairness" of this.
Anyone doubt who will pick up the tab for this, Mr. and Mrs. Consumer?
Economic Statistics for 30 Nov 12
The following US economic statistics were announced today:
Personal Income was unchanged in October, while spending fell -0.2%. Both the headline and core the PCE Price Index rose 0.1%. On a year-over-year basis, both income and spending rose 3.1%, while inflation rose 1.7% at the headline level and 1.6% at the core level.
The Chicago Purchasing managers Index is essentially unchanged for November, up 0.1 points to 50.4, indicating barely any growth.

When I first read that Diane would be there, I thought the other women attending shouldn't even bother, but she really bored me with this look. She's usually never afraid to try something new. In a surprising turn of events, I picked Carrie, who usually wears tacky pageant gowns. Sandra Bullock was the best dressed, though.

Applicant, a 4-year-old winning son of Anabaa brought $85,000 (approximately $62,611 in U.S. funds) to top the December mixed sale conducted by William Inglis & Son on December 5 at Oaklands in Australia. Part of a reduction of racehorses from the Lloyd Williams Group, the colt was purchased by Queensland trainer John Wallace.Applicant has captured four of his 11 career starts. His dam, Outremer, is a 19-year-old daughter of Cure the Blues.In all, 184 horses were sold. They grossed $994,400 ($732,475) and averaged $5,404 ($3,981). The clearance rate was 92%. Inglis & Son reported that the "racehorse section of the catalogue was particularly buoyant, with good demand for fillies, colts, and geldings.""The demand for all classes of bloodstock augers well for the forthcoming yearling sales," said Inglis' Victorian manager, Peter Heagney. "Our Melbourne yearling catalogue will be the best collection of yearlings we have offered and with the ongoing strength of our sales, plus the vibrancy of Victorian racing, we eagerly look forward to the premier sale in February.

Freddie Gibbs - Stripes (Run D MC)
Artist: Freddie Gibbs
Featuring: Jeezy
Producer: Lil Lody
Album: TBD
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 21 votes )
Outside, the sun may be shining and the birds may be chirping, but here in the the Booth the forecast is a little different; now that Gary, Indiana phenom Freddie Gibbs has officially aligned himself with Young Jeezy's Corporate Thugz Entertainment, it's looking like "Snow! Snow! Snow! Snow!" for the foreseeable future. Though the deal was inked last month, today brings us the first fruits of Gangster Gibbs and Lil J's partnership. Stripes (Run D MC) is a swagged-out take on Jeezy's coke-rap formula, with Lil Lody cooking up a clattering synth-percussion backdrop for a veritable blizzard of dope slang. Gibbs is all business on the front, forgoing his usual hyperkinetic flow to match his new boss' more measured brand of block talk. After the Midwest repper's finished flaunting his entrepreneurial acumen and dodging the five-o, the Snowman brings the cut home with some of his trademark "Tony Montana sh* t." So, readers, are Gibbs and Jeezy a match made in heaven? Debate away – and, as always, keep it locked for the latest news and tunes from both.

*does the Space Jockey shuffle*
*does the Space Jockey shuffle*
Just went and saw it. It was absolutely terrible. There was really no story to it at all, just things happening then a few props and an alien baby thrown in at the end and hey presto Alien prequel. Haven't been so disappointed by a movie in years.
Seriously, this movie is fucking faecal, absolutely terrible.
Last edited by Toucan27; 06-09-2012 at 08:01 AM.
Glad I decided to hold out on the reviews for this one before I jumped in & watched it. The hype surrounding it and built-up expectations already had me approaching with caution.
As the great warrior-poet Ice Cube once said, 'If the day does not require an AK, it is good'
I was actually interested in seeing this until I realized it was a prequel to Alien.=\
it is not supposed to be connected with the Alien story, different planet, yet same Zeta Reculi system, different xeno, different lifecycle
Ridley Scott said that this movie is not a prequel to Alien and the end part makes it obvious why
If the movie is not a re-make or prequel for Alien then its a very poor clone of the original concept.
I just saw this movie today and I liked it. I did not see any similarities to the Alien movie except for the fact that it's obvious another Ridley Scott movie (similar type of aliens, goopy stuff, flamethrowers, space ships, boyish female protagonist)
I have a few questions though if anyone has answers:
Hidden Content:
1. What was the point of the engineer who killed himself at the beginning of the movie? Was he supposed to be on earth, or on his home planet, or on the planet that prometheus visits? Why did he kill himself?
2. So the black goop weapon does two things- one it breaks apart your DNA, as evidenced in the beginning of the movie, and two it plants a little alien inside of your body. If it was developed as a weapon why does it need to do both things? Why isn't just breaking apart your DNA enough?
3. What do you think David was saying to the Engineer near the end of the movie? Has anyone on the interwebs attempted to translate it yet?
Excellent writeup on the movie, attempts to explain a few things that left me scratching my head:
That said, I still wasn't impressed. I think the movie looked great but was actually very disappointing from a plot standpoint. You can pull in all the metaphors in the world, but the characters all behave so improbably that it's jarring. It's disappointing because the movie had the ingredients to be really good.
BlizzForums Owner
Hidden Content:
1. He is on Earth, seeding life
2. It is evolving simple organic life in fast forward, but breaks apart high evolved organisms
3. Probably something about the secret of immortality or if can help to save weyland
I just realized something scary... i have more posts than RC

Question for a new inventor for clothing what would be the best way to protect my brand if I have a brand name and a great invention? Would it be patent, provisional patent, trademark, copywrite or a combination of some kind? I want to sell my products to consumers after I limit the risk in doing so, so what woul be the best protection to do so?
Based on the information given above, it appears you will most likely need at least a trademark and a patent. Briefly, the patent protects the invention and the trademark will protect the name and/or logo.
The trademark application you need to complete will depend on whether or not you have used the proposed name in commerce yet. If you have not yet used the proposed name in commerce (i.e.: advertisements, marketing materials, transactions), then you may need to apply on an "intent-to-use" basis, which means that you have not yet used the brand name in commerce. This process requires a few more steps and, therefore, consultation with an attorney is advised.
Fortunately, many intellectual property attorneys can address both trademark and patent matters for you. In addition, a local attorney will also be able to address whether or not your state has any relevant requirements in addition to these federal ones.
Best of luck.
You will need to discuss the details of your business plan with an attorney who can give you advise you about patent prosecution to determine if your invention is patenatable, as well as other legal issuses. It is best to consult with counsel before jumping into the market. See e.g. 35 USC 102(b) ("A person shall be entitled to a patent unless . . . (b) the invention was . . . in public use or on sale in this country, more than one year prior to the date of the application for patent in the United States").
Best of luck
With due respect to my colleagues, patent protection is ordinarily not relevant to clothing. While there is a long-shot possibility that you could obtain a design patent, the cost of doing so is usually worth the benefits. Copyright law also generally does not protect clothing designs. Most companies in the fashion business in the U.S. rely almost entirely on trademarks to protect their clothing designs. If you are developing a line of clothing, the branding decision you make is critical, and you should not choose a name until you retain IP counsel to conduct a clearance opinion. It is possible that there are other IP strategies for protecting your new clothing designs, but only by meeting with competent, experienced IP counsel can you develop an effective strategy.
Also, in developing a branding and IP strategy, you need to consider the global market, not just the U.S. In the age of the internet, it is inevitable that you will have an international customer base, and that means that you need to take into account IP law issues in many countries throughout the world.
I am hard pressed to imagine what an "invention" is for clothing. Trademark is normal, identifying the source of the goods. Copyright is not available for clothing (but is for certain types of textile design.) You probably need to consult an attorney to explain in more depth what your "invention" is and get advice specific to your needs.
I also think patent protection is ordinarily not relevant to clothing, unless you have a new feature to your clothing that solves a technical problem in a unique way - say a new zipper, a new shoulder pad, a new manner of stitching, a new pocket structure, etc. The problem with patents on clothing is that they have really narrow scopes of protection and there are usually many alternatives that avoid the patent. Design patents are especially not worthwhile, as they are even narrower and extremely easy to avoid and are relatively costly to obtain since you need a patent attorney to do them properly and we don't come cheap.
Copyrights are not generally not available for clothing designs which are functional as copyrights are for artistic works not functional items. After all, fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They must consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn. There are some exceptions like expensive wedding dresses that obviously can become real unique works of art, but those exceptions are few and even there the law is unsettled. Some clothes are made specifically for an individual, as in the case of haute couture or bespoke tailoring. Today, most clothing is designed for the mass market, especially casual and every-day wear, and I take it that is your focus.
So, fashion houses in the U.S. you will be relying primarily or exclusively on brand name protection and recognition for your clothing designs. The names can outlive their originators (VERSACE lives on even though Gianni Versace died 15 years ago). You have seen them, they're called "Designer Labels." Examples include labels such as Bijan, Burberry, Gucci, Armani, Calvin Klein, Versace, Shiatzy Chen, Louis Vuitton, Cartier SA, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior, Polo Ralph Lauren, Prada, Valentino, Chanel and others which are derived from the company's founder and most iconic designer. Other clothing (and accessories) marquee names do not directly refer to the company's founder: for example, Dooney & Bourke, United Colors of Benetton, and L.L.Bean may be referred to as designer labels. While members of the upper middle class, or the mass affluent, are perhaps the most commonly targeted customers of these designer labels, some marquees—such as Cartier—tend to a wealthier customer base.. When celebs are on the red carpet, the question is "who's design are you wearing?" not "Is that patented?".
So, your first step is to pick a catchy brand name (maybe your own name or pseudonym) and get with an IP attorney for a clearance opinion on that brand. The clearance will involve tradename clearance, domain name clearance, trademark clearance and servicemark clearance.
Bottom Line (which I put at the bottom) is trademark, servicemark and tradename should be your primary focus and only secondarily should you focus on patents, and then for nonobvious solutions to technical problems not to standard items just styled differently.

November 28, 2014
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Columbus police have arrested a man they say was responsible for a Web site where customers could post reviews of prostitutes.
Robert Eric McFadden is accused of trading information about online escorts and prostitutes who worked the streets, including a 17-year-old girl. Police say he also helped organize a $10-a-ticket raffle that offered an evening with a prostitute.
The 46-year-old McFadden was arrested Wednesday and faces numerous charges, including compelling prostitution involving a minor.
No attorney for McFadden was listed with the Franklin County Jail.
McFadden formerly served as director of the Faith-Based and Community Initiatives office under Gov. Ted Strickland. He was transferred to a job with the state prisons department in 2007 and laid off in March 2008 due to budget cuts.

I heard a louder humming while driving down the road. After I turned the car off, it continued. It has been running for about 20 minutes. I have not idea what it could be and there is no where to take it to be checked out. When I lifted the hood, it was louder. Do you know what it could be?

Lukasz thank you for your great support.
So far I've found DJ-Classified to stand out among its competitors. But, it has its shortcomings.
1) There isn't a forum of users to give me a glance of what problems do users frequently/repeatedly face. I know you shut it down and provide customer support 1 on 1 but it doesn't give you a feel of the overall system.
2) The most important thing about any system I choose is to know where its heading... Joomla has its idea pool where features are requested and voted similarly other extensions have the same. which gives me a feel of how my site might evolve in the future.
I searched all over but found nothing as to what features/ functions you have planned for the future. The best thing I found in this regard was a user review by "brankok"
3) partly related to No.2 , a competing extension is offering mobile app other extensions have third-party mobile apps. Where does DJ-Classified stand in this regard.
My review is not a critique but a result of thorough research in this regard, I admire the innovation DJ-Classified has brought to this genera.
No documentation for plugin development payment exists.
Lacked a system for assessing the ad.
But the rest is very good!
Keep up the great work, "DJ"! :D
Certainly, it is difficult to invent a common component called for all possibilities, but I'm very happy with this implementation.
On problems of a support reacts with a very short processing time.
If you have suggestions regarding the development of the component, you can find a nice contact with the developers.
Also I think it's very good that you'll always drive the development and the product is always better.
The code is well written and does not cause problems with other applications.
My rating is clearly positive, and I speak a recommendation!
Michael Simon
I have since purchased other extensions from DJ-Extensions to make my site even better.
I choose between all Joomla classified extensions..
here my opinion for to be better:
1. possibility add ad to multiple categories
2. connect Joomla profile details with advertiser contact detail on ads(if user on registration write yours contact data, he must ad again in every ad)
3. profile photo integrate with Joomla user data
4. when list all advertiser ads there must be all advertiser data from user profile, contact, location, map, etc. not only profile /avatar and name. (see wordpress classipress )
5. possibility to have state: sold, from admin and from user.
6. possibilyti to temporary disable from admin and from user.
7. there no tags for add, every component today have tags
8. in admin or site no statistic for overall number off ads
9. no possibility to sorting ads in administration
10. only paypall payment
Thank you for your opinion, we'd like to address some of the points to make it clear for other users as well:)
1. possibility add ad to multiple categories
-- we have this feature on out TODO list and will be added in future
2. connect Joomla profile details with advertiser contact detail on ads(if user on registration write
yours contact data, he must ad again in every ad)
--this feature will be added in next version
3. profile photo integrate with Joomla user data
-- Joomla user core profile doesn't have photo only some external plugins allows to do this, so theres no source
4. when list all advertiser ads there must be all advertiser data from user profile, contact, location, map, etc. not only profile /avatar and name. (see wordpress classipress )
-- you can set in custom fields parameters what field should be shown on users adverts page , so if you want to you can show all those details
5. possibility to have state: sold, from admin and from user.
-- you can use types functionality when you can define states what you want 'sold', 'free', 'for change', also this feature allows to create styled labels
6. possibilyt to temporary disable from admin and from user.
-- of course that admin can disable advert but user can only delete to not to complicate structure
7. there no tags for add, every component today have tags
-- so far there was no suggestion to add this feature, but we'll consider to add this feature in one of future updates
8. in admin or site no statistic for overall number off ads
-- we are working on that kind module
9. no possibility to sorting ads in administration
-- you can sort adverts with every page header of table (id, name, category, date, author, featured, date, published, active)
10. only paypal payment
-- We have a lot more payments than paypal available, we provide plugins for
*PayU (Poland)
*DotPaySMS (Poland)
*Bank Transfer
Not only do you get far far MORE than value for your Money - and the Price is really amazing - there support has been excellent!
I give it my very best recommendations and continue to use it on a daily basis wondering how great a product it truely is!!
Thank you for making me a very satisfied user!!
Best regards
Finn Christensen (Denmark)
Why my opinion is Good not Exellent ? Only small minus for updates . They're not very often . I hope that there will be few before end of my dubscription .
First I bought a very well known and rather old component. I was dissapointed. It was not ready to go pro.
Then I bought DJ-Classifieds.
I believe that is a great component/solution.
It is working out of the box and makes everything look simple. That is because of the great work and thinking of developers.
Also the documentation is very good and updated with the component's current version. That is very important and something that you expect from a paid solution.
You can use the FAQ section and get answers for the most common questions you will have.
I haven't yet tested support... because there was no need for that!
The price is fair for all the goodies you get.
Thank you for this great solution.
I've tested many before but this one is very friendly one and really great.
I liked the points packages system that it offers to the users, so they can buy points packages instead of paying for each purchase.
One more great feature is the responsive design of the component.
I do recommend it.
It has solved a difficult challenge for me on my site with building up a functional site for user published ads. DJ Classified has everything I need to solve the challenge! Easy to publish ads, easy to search them up, a fine map feature, payment plugins that work, and easy to customize the extension on the site!
In addition the support is nothing short of excellent! I had some difficulties, but the support team have solved them all - in no time!
