- Better service was expectedDjib01Dined on 22/11/2014Lounge lover is a nice bar but on Saturday 22nd evening, service left a lot to be desired. Waiters/waitresses were nice but took ages to attend our (8 people!) table, and we managed to have just one drinks order over 2 hours. There was no attention to taking orders when the drinks in question were finished (let alone running low), and when we finally managed to get the attention of the waiter, who took the order, we were told minutes later that the bar had closed and that we could not get more. To add to this, it was raining quite hard and we were still hustled out by the bouncers while waiting for cabs that we had already ordered. Meanwhile staff was having a post work meeting / drink, which is fair enough, but then why rush people out and let them in the rain when you know they're on their way soon. It's a shame as this wasn't the feedback I had received hence my decision to book there. I will probably go back, but it will be the last try if that's not better next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good night outShmilblickDined on 21/11/2014The place is quite unique with interesting interiors. It is resto club so expect very loud music, tapas food, not very filling. If you book ask to get tables in the middle or back of the restaurant. The front tables are too close to the entrance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great cocktails and bar snacks after work!AllyFLDined on 12/11/2014We didn't have a full meal as I was there with a work colleague for drinks and snacks after work but both the cocktails and the bar food were very good. We were seated off the main area in a side room which was quirky but comfortable with great decor. Would definitely go back for an evening out but I don't know if I would have a full meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go for cocktails not for the foodGuiPDined on 3/11/2014The service was friendly and helpful to help to choose what we wanted. The cocktail are great with a lot and various flavours. However the food is overpriced for what it is. The deco is nice but messy. That is really bizarre. We tried but won't go backSpecial Features:
- not so sureraymanDined on 25/10/2014Its a very good looking bar/lounge. Service was fantastic, can not fault that at all. The small plates of bar food are very good. Well the ones we tried were. Two negatives the set of tables and chair in the middle of the space are anything but lounge like. They are very uncomfortable to sit and have a nice cosy drink on. Which is the whole reason you would go to a lounge. They need to seriously rethink those. Get some more low sittinf comfy chairs and lower tables. The cocktails were abit of and embarrassment. They were just awful. Hardly any alcohol in them. Full of really sugary juice drinks. I would not recommend them at all. They just looked pretty. if you go there stick to wine or beer.
- CulinarychicaVIPDined on 10/10/2014Great atmosphere, funky decor, great cocktails, friendly staff, cool vibe, have returned since writing this review.Special Features:
- Lounge loversFoodie12Dined on 4/10/2014We took advantage of the 2 for £12 offer which was good value and good variety of cocktails. It was quite hard to get the waiters attention which meant we missed out on getting a last drink in the offer because by the time we got served it had gone past 8pm. Food was ok but all came at different times which meant some dishes going cold while we waited for others to come, one dish arrived 20 mins after the first.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceCD46eatsDined on 2/10/2014I booked a table for 9 at Loungelover just few hours ahead of time and the stuff was very helpful with making this happen. The whole evening was lovely. Good nibbles and very nice drinks, service excellent. The ambience is amazing, one of the most interestingly decorated bars in London.
- Great place but such awful serviceAM89Dined on 16/9/2014Cocktails were great. Food was average and overpriced and came out at different times. Service throughout the whole evening was really bad! The place wasn't busy as it was a Tuesday night and we still received shocking service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unhappy chappiesOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 13/9/2014Staff were swept off their feet. Maybe hire a few more people on a Saturday night. In result, food was left on the side for ages and delivered cold. When you book a table, you would like to be served, not asking every hour for a drink.Special Features:
- Great for drinks!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 12/9/2014I loved the atmosphere, each section was decorated with unusual furniture & accessories. I had the strawberry lollie, which tasted like a strawberry shake, it was delicious. Not much of a choice on food, only snacks were served, and they were just OK. The main draw here would be the drinks & atmosphere, great for a friends night out!Special Features:
- SoSoVIPDined on 13/8/2014The Ivy is an institution amongst circles of the posh crowd and visitors to the theater district. The remodel they did a few years back was done quite well. And the service exceeded expectations in most regards. Numerous staff attended to our tables which is always a positive and negative approach I find. As you can end up being asked the same question multiple times and having to say "we would like to enjoy our cocktails before ordering" to different staff. Outstanding rum list; one of the best I have seen at a restaurant. The food was inventive and of good quality. Albeit not quite there for the prices. Unfortunately this place can continue operating as is due to history and a posh shroud as a improvement in food quality would be great.Special Features:
- Excellent drinks, perfect for groupLondonFoodieVIPDined on 1/8/2014A great place for a group in the east end. Noisy but very pretty and really excellent cocktails!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great, great nightFee23Dined on 26/7/2014So this is the third time visiting Lounge Lover and this time around I was a-celebrating my birthday. As always the decor provided a great backdrop to the nights proceedings, and with 2 for 1 cocktails before 8pm, a DJ playing fantastic house music and great canapes to line the stomach before taking the night deeper - much deeper - I had a great time. But of course that was a combination of the venue, the service, what was being served and the fabulous company of my friends. My only wish - that there was a dance floor so we could dance to the fantastic music. I'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cool placMdeeDined on 18/7/2014More of a lounge bar than a restaurant. Furniture very comfortable. Cocktails are delicious and good value for money if you go between 5 and 8 in the evening. The food which was a bar food menu was really delicious. It was tapas style so we ordered a variety of dishes. Overall it was fairly good money. Service was impeccable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerclubVIPDined on 12/7/2014This was one of the worst dining experiences of my life. When I arrived i was very rudely told that my table had been given away although the place looked empty. My table was not held because I was late, however still within the 30 minute time frame to arrive. Three out of four staff members were unprofessional and rude. One waiter got our drinks wrong then came over to argue with us instead of just apologising. He then brought another waiter over to help his argument who wasn't even serving us. I cannot believe the attitude of the staff. Food was good, not amazing. Cocktails were the same as everywhere nothing to write home about. I know people say this but I will never go back there.
- A little peeved...OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/7/2014Been to Lounge Lover lots and usually have positive feedback. But one of our servers clearly didn't know what she was doing although her pleasant manner made up for it. However there was a particular young lady who was extremely rude to my partner and I. After waiting for a long time for some service, we decided to go to the bar to order a drink. After waiting there for at least 15 minutes with no acknowledgement - a shirty girl proceeded to order us to "sit down" as there was no bar service. This server had seen us waiting and only chose to aggressively say something after some time. Drinks were not bad, ambience good - food tastily average. I like the venue so will return but I hope to not have to deal with that same server again!Special Features:
- Luscious cocktails at LoungLoverKBWPDined on 4/4/2014I have been coming to Loungelover for over 10 years and it never fad to hit the mark! Fab cocktails and glam environs! Definitely a special night out!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not just cocktailsJMH3VIPDined on 14/3/2014I've been to Loungelover before but not to eat. The food was really nice and great for sharing. I will definitely go back to eat there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing expierence at LoungeloverFrimeoDined on 28/2/2014Me and my friends spent amazing time at the Loungelover, the cocktails was amazing, service very good, I loved it the music, lady who was serving us, was always smiling, always around if we needed her. I will definitely come back to the place with my friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for Monday night drinkscouchqueenDined on 3/2/2014Had a girls night out on a freezing Monday night out - started the night at Loungelover. The place was quiet (as expected) on a Monday night, but enough people filtered through to keep the place buzzing but quiet enough to have a proper catch up with friends without shouting over a crowd. The all night happy hour was good value for money and we enjoyed a few rounds of drinks, cheese platter and sweet potato fries. Perfect Monday night out, we will definitely be back.I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was my first time at thisAnonDined on 3/1/2014It was my first time at this fantastic cocktail bar. I heard from friends it was perfect choice for drinks and intermacy. Would certainly recommend it for a first date venue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Series of unfortunate eventsarin89Dined on 14/12/2013I had been to Loungelovers before and knew how busy it could get on a Saturday night, so I made a booking. It took forever for someone to take our order and when the drinks finally arrived, we were told that we had outstayed our welcome in that they were only holding tables for one hour for smaller parties like ours. Fortunately, the Maitre D' was nice enough to let us stay on a bit longer. We would have preferred to pay by card but the waiter, again, took forever to handle our request, so we ended up leaving cash. It was regrettable that the service was less than ideal because I would have liked to show my friends why I like the place so much. I will definitely go there again and would recommend it, just perhaps not on a Saturday night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a cocktail bar, not for dinnerLolaDined on 14/12/2013A funky bar with a good vibe and great for groups who want to sit and have drinks. With only one hostess at the door, they struggled to maintain bookings. It took us 30 min to get a table despite booking in advance. And we never saw a food menu. The manager was very good and she did her best to sort us out. Great for drinks, but not for dinner.Special Features:
- The following 193 reviews are from the Loungelover reviews archive.
- Cockails made as they should beFoodieDined on 21/11/2013Finding cocktails made from good ingredients is rare these days so I was really pleased to find all err five of mine were made really well and tasted delicious. The atmosphere here (on Thursday night) was great. Not over packed, music quiet enough to talk and extravagant funky décor that makes it a great place to chill out. Plus good table service. An ideal date place, even though I wasn't on one. I'd still come back with a group of mates for my birthday too because it's quirky layout suits all types. A great find!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still a good venue for ShoreditchGriffin7t8Dined on 25/10/2013Still a good venue for Shoreditch cocktails, even if the interior now looks a bit dated and the toilets leave a lot to be desired. Good selection of potent and tasty cocktails, go before 8pm to get the 2 for £12 deal.I would recommend this to a friend.
- A very nice hideawayAlexalexDined on 17/10/2013Superb cocktails, chilled ambiance, stylistic decor, reasonably priced. And super service. Will be going back again soonSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Pre/Post Theatre BarChippyDined on 16/10/2013Situated right next to Rich Mix Centre, it's the ideal place for pre/post theatre drinks and nibbles. I highly recommend to book the table if you want to be seated in the nice corner. The choice of food is limited, but we really enjoyed the board of cured ham selection which includes delicious venison. It's known for Cocktails, but they have lovely wines, too. The decor is very impressive and fun to look around, and the atmosphere was buzzing on Wednesday night. Although it was hard to get the attention, the waiter was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceHWellerDined on 16/8/2013Love the atmosphere and attention from staff. Great tasting cocktails including the signature Lounge Lover cocktail.Special Features:
- Simply the best cocktails in LondonlozlondonDined on 16/8/2013Lounge lover serves up an interesting mix of cocktails and has the beat menu and vibe in London - absolutely love it. Worth trying to get in for the happy hour as they're a bit pricey and you'll want to try lots! Great snack food too - try the pork belly bites. Also request a table in the centre of the bar to avoid being put right at the edge!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DullHungryDined on 12/8/2013I came here for drinks with friends years ago and found it to be quite a vibrant place. Ok I know it was a Monday evening (but every other restaurant I tried in the area was fully booked!) LoungeLover was empty and dull. The food was very tasty but I hadn't realised the portions were going to be so small. It's definitely food to accompany drinks rather than a dinning experience. Won't be going back.
- TerribleDissapointedDined on 10/8/2013We turned up for a pre-booked birthday dinner and were told our table, right by the door, was now booked again less then an hour after we booked it for for someone else. They had "no other" tables available, even though there were lots of empty tables, and the lady on the door was rude. We ended up leaving and had a really nice meal just round the corner. I'll be very surprised if I ever go again for food or drinks.
- Great place for cocktails...ZcapVIPDined on 7/8/2013This place is a little gem in the heart of Shoreditch - bit pricey - but there is a happy hour.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very poorJaursDined on 3/8/2013I made and confirmed my booking, we arrived on time and our table wasn't available. We waited about 10 minutes to be seated, when we were seated we were told it was a "sharing table", which we thought defeated the object of actually booking! We went to the bar to order drinks but were told we had to order with the waitress, which we should have been told by the lady who seated us. I then approached another waitress and asked to order drinks and she said she would be over, we waited a good 10 minutes and no one came over. We soon got feed up and left! The poor service just ruined the whole experience.
- Didnt know tge basics..WilliamnotamusedDined on 19/7/2013Tried to order my favourite cocktail. But firstly the waitresses had to ask three times for the barman to tell me they couldnt make it. Considering its only three ingrediants all of which are present in ar leat 4 cocktails on the menu i can only presume they didnt know what it was, which in anycase i told them. Pretty shoddy for supposedly one if londons cocktail bars. Secondly the two other cocktails i ordered came bitter as sin and wetter than a sharks rear end. Oh how the mighy have fallen...
- First thursdayTonyDined on 4/7/2013Very Good cocktails, but not seated in the best part of the venue. Also got our reservation confused.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loungeloverhiggi46Dined on 28/6/2013We went to Loungelover on a Saturday evening, lovely welcome on arrival. Service very good to start with, drinks were good and not ridiculously expensive, given the surroundings, the food was so-so and the service did go a bit downhill later on when they got busier (we were sitting in 'out of the way' position though so that probably contributed to this). Overall would recommend for drinks and ambience but not particularly for foodSpecial Features:
- Great cocktails; great surroundingsBusyLizzieVIPDined on 15/6/2013The table service here is excellent. The cocktail menu is so extensive that it was difficult to decide between all the amazing choices but the waitress was happy to listen to the kind of things we liked and suggest something appropriate. Each time she was spot on! The venue itself is great with really good music and a good atmosphere. We didn't eat here so the rating for 'food' actually applies to drinks! They did bring two bowls of prawn crackers without charge whilst we were deciding on which cocktails to have.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friendly serviceSoLoDined on 15/6/2013We had some lovely cocktails and bites to eat. The evening was really made by the knowledgable and kind serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great cocktailsClaudiaVIPDined on 14/6/2013Loungelover is spectacular, probably the best cocktail bar I have ever been to. I went with friends and, although it was empty until 8.30pm, the atmosphere was class and warm. We didn't have any food, but cocktails were delicious!Special Features:

Drones can be used for good, as pointed out by PCmag.com. Here are 12 non-lethal uses for them.
1. Pizza delivery: Dominos released a video in June in which a small drone delivers pizza to your door. Though it wasn't a preview of actual service, who knows how long it'll take to make that a reality.
2. Photographing music festivals: Burning Man attendees have been using them to get high-flying video footage of performers, according to the magazine.
3. The Seattle Police Department plans to use a drone in hostage situations, search and rescue operations, bomb threats and criminal pursuits.
4. Drones have been used to inspect pipelines and oil rigs -- oil leaks and slicks show up clearly in infrared.
5. Drones can be used for agricultural purposes, such as spraying and watering crops.
6. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation awarded researchers with grants to help projects that develop unmanned aerial vehicles to deliver vaccines to hard-to-reach locations.
7. Drones can provide truly unique video footage. They've been used in car commercials and reports out of Hollywood suggest drones may replace more expensive helicopter pilots, according to the magazine.
8. Whale watching: Drones have been used to monitor marine mammals off the coast of Australia, according to the magazine.
9. They've also been used to track critically endangered Sumatran orangutans from above the treetops, according to the magazine.
10. Scaring Geese: Ottawa (Ontario, Canada) city officials use them to scare birds away from Petrie Island beaches. The bird waste can feed dangerous bacteria in the water.
11. Inspecting meat plants: A man claims to have discovered a Texas meat-packing plant dumping blood in a nearby creek using an unmanned drone, according to the magazine.
According to the Mayo Clinic, lifestyle changes can keep you off cholesterol-lowering medications or enhance the effect of your medications. Here they are.
Lose weight
Losing as little as 5 percent of body weight can help someone significantly reduce their cholesterol levels.
Eat heart-healthy foods
Choose healthier fats, eliminate trans fats, limit cholesterol in food, select whole grains, stock up on fruits and vegetables and eat food rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Exercise on most days of the week
Try taking a brisk walk during your lunch hour, riding your bike to work, swimming laps or playing a favorite sport.
Quit smoking
Quitting may improve your HDL cholesterol level (also blood pressure will decrease, your risk of a heart attack will decrease and your risk of heart disease will decrease).
Only drink alcohol in moderation
This means up to one drink a day for women of all ages and men older than age 65 (up to two drinks a day for men age 65 and younger). Moderate use of alcohol has been linked to HDL cholesterol.

Lesson 1: Hiragana あ-お
Lesson filepack: http://www.aragami.org/japanese/Japa...ic_Lesson1.zip
Quiz: http://www.animeonline.net/f23/japan...-1-quiz-33453/
Master Thread: http://www.animeonline.net/f23/free-...lessons-33193/
Material covered in this lesson
1. Introduction to the Japanese writing system
2. about hiragana
3. vowels - あ い う え お
4. basic vocabulary/pronunciation
1. Introduction to the Japanese Writing System
The Japanese writing system is made up of three different kinds of characters: hiragana, katakana and kanji. Each writing system has different uses and all three must be mastered in order to read and write properly in Japanese.
Here is an example of a typical sentence using all three character sets:
(trans. I am an American)
*Please note that Japanese does not include any spacing between words.
Let's break that sentence down into it's parts:
私(kanji) は(hiragana) アメリカ(katakana) 人(kanji) です(hiragana)。
In this sentence, hiragana is used to denote grammatical elements. Katakana is used to write a loanword from another language ("America"). Kanji is used to represent the noun "I" and the "person" which makes up "American".
Don't worry about the specifics for now, we'll go into each in detail later on... just be aware that each element has a specific use and that all three need to be combined in order to make proper sentences.
Japanese can also be written in the roman alphabet.
ex. watashi ha amerikajin desu.
This is called "romaji" and is used when communicating Japanese to foreigners who do not yet know how to read or write in Japanese scripts. It is also used to write Japanese place names/titles in English-language signage or documents.
| Things to Keep in Mind
| - Japanese is typically written and read vertically from right to
| left. Letters, novels and magazines are almost always in this
| format. As a result: Japanese books open on the opposite side.
| - Japanese can also written from left to right, horizontally in the
| Western style... this style is usually adopted for business
| documents, school notes, blackboard writing, and anything
| written on or by a computer.
- define the following ~ "romaji"
2. About Hiragana
Hiragana (ひらがな) is the first character set that Japanese children learn both at home and at school. It's often used to write words when the appropriate kanji isn't known by the writer or reader. Since young children know very few (if any) kanji, books and media for small children are often written in nothing but hiragana.
Comic books and novels aimed at elementary or junior high aged students almost always include "furigana", hiragana in small print over any words written in kanji.
Hiragana is also used to communicate words for which there is no kanji at all. New words, slang, or words for which the kanji has become obselete or is especially difficult are often written in hiragana. Parts of grammar (for example, particles) are written in hiragana as well.
Hiragana is a syllabary. Each character represents a sound or set of sounds which, together, form a complete syllable. Unlike the English alphabet, the pronunciation does not change radically according to placement. That means hiragana will always sound more or less the same, no matter where they occur in a sentence or word.
There are 109 syllables represented by hiragana, though two of them are no longer used in modern Japanese.
- define the following ~ "hiragana", "syllabary", "furigana"
3. Vowels
Japanese has five vowels. Most syllables pronounced in Japanese contain a vowel sound, so proper pronunciation is vital. The vowels are as follows:
あ - a - as in father
い - i - as in eat
う - u - as in zoo
え - e - as in end
お - o - as in Ohio
The order is important! Dictionaries, store racks and telephone directories are organized in alphabetical order beginning with a, i, u, e, and o.
Now it's time to learn your first set of hiragana. Before you do, please keep the following in mind when writing Japanese:
- Stroke order and number (the order and number of lines written to make up a character) is important! Characters should be memorized with the proper stroke order if at all possible... Stroke number and order are vital to proper dictionary use, passing kanji proficiency exams, and doing calligraphy.
-characters should be written with a properly held pencil and good posture (see handout1.jpg for details)
- worksheet 1 and 2 (line tracing)
- worksheets 3-5 (hiragana あ-お)
4. Basic Vocabulary
This week's vocabulary list consists entirely of words that can be constructed from the five vowel hiragana.
あい - ai - love (noun)
おい - oi - hey! (exclamation)
いえ - ie - house (noun)
うえ - ue - up, above (noun)
あお - ao - blue (noun)
- pronunciation drills with the sound files included in this pack
- write each word 5 times in hiragana

British PM David Cameron says he will 'drain this poison' after latest ISIS beheading video
Sep 16 2014
British Prime Minister David Cameron said Sunday he will work with allies to defeat the terrorist group Islamic State, and that countries must "drain this poison from our society," after the militants released a video showing the beheading of British aid worker David Haines.
Cameron, who was attending a wedding on Saturday, raced back to London overnight to chair a meeting of his security Cabinet, including his advisers, officials and intelligence chiefs. The Prime Minister described the murder of Haines as "an act of pure evil" in a tweet from his official account.
The 44-year-old Haines was abducted in Syria in 2013 while working for an international aid agency. The British government had managed to keep his kidnapping secret out of concern for his safety until another video recently released by Islamic State, also known as ISIS, identified him as a captive.
The British Foreign Office had said late Saturday that it was "working urgently to verify the video," but Cameron's statement left no room for ambiguity. Fox News confirmed that the tape is being examined by the National Counterterrorism Center in Washington.
"We will do everything in our power to hunt down these murderers and ensure they face justice, however long it takes," Cameron added.
In a statement released late Saturday, President Obama condemned the murder as "barbaric."
"The United States strongly condemns the barbaric murder of UK citizen David Haines by the terrorist group ISIL. Our hearts go out to the family of Mr. Haines and to the people of the United Kingdom. The United States stands shoulder to shoulder tonight with our close friend and ally in grief and resolve," the statement read.
"We will work with the United Kingdom and a broad coalition of nations from the region and around the world to bring the perpetrators of this outrageous act to justice, and ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

REDDING, Calif. – A Northern California man has been arrested after his ex-girlfriend said he cooked her dog and fed it to her.
Ryan Watenpaugh of Palo Cedro was arrested Thursday. He remains jailed Friday.
Watenpaugh's ex told police he had repeatedly struck her while they were dating and that after one assault, she left her Redding apartment and returned to find her Pomeranian, "Bear," missing.
Police say the couple briefly reconciled last week and Watenpaugh cooked the woman a meal. But she told police he later texted her and asked how her dog had tasted.
On Tuesday, Watenpaugh allegedly left two of the dog's paws outside her door.
Police say Watenpaugh has denied killing or cooking the dog.
He was booked for animal cruelty, domestic violence, stalking and false imprisonment.

Man sleepwalks off cliff, suffers minor injuries
Sep 11 2014
An Ohio man fell 60 feet off a cliff while sleepwalking in a national forest in Kentucky, but suffered only minor injuries, officials said on Wednesday.
Ryan Campbell, 27, was camping with his friends in the northern part of the Daniel Boone National Forest early last Thursday when he plummeted down a steep incline a few yards into his nighttime stroll.
It took several hours for emergency crews to rescue him.
"He had facial trauma and a head laceration, but his mood was very good. He was responding to our instructions," said John May, with the Wolfe County search-and-rescue unit and one of the first responders to reach Campbell.
Campbell fell on a bush, which broke his fall and saved him from potentially more serious or fatal injuries.
Wolfe County's volunteer squad was called in for its experience rescuing hikers and climbers from the forest's steep cliffs. That part of the forest, near Red River Gorge, a recreational area, draws thousands of tourists annually.
May said he had responded to falls where a person fell 160 feet and survived or fell 30 feet and died.
"It really just depends on how you hit and what you hit," he said.

OKOMI, Fla. – Talk about a heavy sleeper.
Police say an accused burglar stayed snoozing next to a bag of jewelry he was swiping from a home despite deputies snapping pictures of him.
According to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office Facebook page, a cleaning lady discovered 29-year-old Dion Davis on a bed inside the victim's home Monday.
Deputies say they took several photographs of the sleeping Davis, but he didn't wake up.
The Herald Tribune reports Davis was charged with burglary and booked into jail on $10,000 bail.

Deputy who used taekwondo kick is suspended
Sep 11 2014
DENVER – A Denver sheriff's deputy caught on video provoking a fight with an inmate by using a taekwondo kick has been suspended for 90 days.
The Denver Post reported Wednesday it obtained a disciplinary letter saying Roberto Roena received his suspension July 29 for the April 2013 fight with inmate John Cardenas.
Investigators determined Roena provoked the fight after Cardenas taunted him. Roena is seen throwing a fully extended sidekick toward the inmate's head before putting him in a headlock.
After the fight, Roena wrote in a mandatory report that Cardenas was the aggressor and he threw the kick to defend himself. But investigators said in the letter the inmate did not initially pose a threat.
Attempts by the Post to reach Roena's attorney were unsuccessful.

When 11-year-old Grace Karaffa was told she couldn't use ChapStick at her Virginia elementary school, the girl -- who'd been prohibited from using it for years to treat her dry, bleeding lips -- decided she'd had enough.
The fifth-grader at Stuarts Draft Elementary School created a petition and presented her case before the Augusta County school board last week, arguing that a ban on the most commonly used remedy to treat chapped lips was "inappropriate," her father told FoxNews.com.
"Grace was told in the second grade she couldn't use ChapStick, but we didn't look into why," David Karaffa said. "When Grace asked if she could use ChapStick while out in the cold last year, she was told again, 'No, you're not allowed.'"
Her lips then started to bleed in class, according to her father, but the girl was still refused ChapStick by a teacher who said it was against school policy. Grace was forced to go into the bathroom and wet her lips to relieve the cracking and bleeding, Karaffa said.
"They told her at the time that some kids might be allergic to ChapStick," he said.
When Grace started the fifth-grade last month, she decided she'd approach the matter in a way most 11-year-olds would not -- delivering a carefully outlined speech before the school board in support of overturning the ban.
"She said, 'Dad, I want to get rid of this ChapStick ban thing.' I said, 'Okay, you have to speak to your teacher and the principal, who both advised she write a letter to the Augusta County school board," he said.
Following her speech, Grace was cross-examined, her father said -- with one board member asking the girl if using ChapStick at school might be seen as a distraction.
"She said, 'I think it would be more distracting to have bleeding lips while I'm doing ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

A prophetic warning from then-President George W. Bush before he left office about what would happen if the U.S. withdrew troops from Iraq too soon is getting new attention in light of the Islamic State's gains, as each of his predictions appears to be coming true.
Bush made the remarks in the White House briefing room on July 12, 2007, as he argued against those who sought an immediate troop withdrawal.
"To begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for Iraq, for the region and for the United States," Bush cautioned.
He then ticked off a string of predictions about what would happen if the U.S. left too early.
"It would mean surrendering the future of Iraq to Al Qaeda.
"It would mean that we'd be risking mass killings on a horrific scale.
"It would mean we allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq to replace the one they lost in Afghanistan.
"It would mean we'd be increasing the probability that American troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous."
Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen says all these predictions have come true.
"Every single thing that President Bush said there in that statement is happening today," he told Fox News.
To Bush's first warning, the Islamic State terror group is effectively the successor to Al Qaeda in Iraq – and they've overrun several major cities in Iraq's north while claiming broad swaths of territory in Syria. Further, the group has been behind mass killings of Iraqi civilians as well as the recent execution by beheading of two American journalists.
The Obama administration has warned that the group's violence threatens to approach genocide levels.
Though President Obama says combat troops will not be returning to fight in Iraq, American troops are nevertheless returning ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

Fake casts for pretending you have an injured arm to evade having to help prepare holiday meals have become brisk sellers in South Korea ahead of the Chuseok festival.
"We have been selling this for 10 years now, but sales increased drastically starting last week," said a sales manager at an online vendor who declined to be identified.
Both men and women were buying the bogus casts, he said.
During Chuseok, a three-day thanksgiving holiday, women traditionally do most of the work in preparing and cooking elaborate ceremonial dishes while the men of the family chat, drink and watch television.
The holiday gender divide is so entrenched that it has spawned the term "daughter-in-law holiday syndrome", with many young women suffering post-holiday stress and fatigue.
But getting away with the phoney cast ruse may be difficult this year after several media outlets reported on brisk sales of the devices in the run-up to the holiday starting on Sunday.
Data from the Ministry of Gender, Equality, and Family in 2010 showed only 4.9 percent of people surveyed said both genders shared holiday chores, while the rest said women do most of the work.
"Although an increasing number of women are actively engaged in economic activities, a perception remains that only women are responsible for holiday preparation," said Na-Young Lee, a sociologist at Chung-Ang University.
"We need to try to understand that both men and women are equal beings in working and raising children in a family," she said.

A doctor who became infected with Ebola while working in Liberia -- the third American aid worker sickened with the virus -- arrived Friday at a Nebraska hospital for treatment.
Officials at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha have said Dr. Rick Sacra, 51, will be treated at the hospital's 10-bed special isolation unit on the seventh floor, the largest of four such units in the U.S.
Sacra, from the Boston area, headed to Liberia after hearing that two other missionaries were sick. He served with the North Carolina-based charity SIM. Sacra delivered babies but was not involved in the treatment of Ebola patients, so it's unclear how he became infected with the virus that has killed about 1,900 people.
Local media reported shortly after 6 a.m. that a plane carrying Sacra landed at Offutt Air Force Base, south of the Omaha suburb of Bellevue. He arrived at the hospital in an ambulance about 40 minutes later, but media were unable to see Sacra as he was hustled into the facility.
Dr. Phil Smith, medical director of the Omaha unit, said a team of 35 doctors, nurses and other medical staffers will provide Sacra with basic care, including ensuring he is hydrated and keeping his vital signs stable.
The team is discussing experimental treatments, including using blood serum from a patient who has recovered from Ebola, Smith said.
"We've been trying to collect as much information on possible treatments as we can," Smith said.
There are no licensed drugs or vaccines for the disease, but about half a dozen are in development. None has been tested on humans, but an early trial of one vaccine began this week in the United States.
Much attention has focused on the unproven drug ZMapp, which was given to seven patients, two of whom died. But the limited supply is now exhausted ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

Drugs found among Jelly Tots at factory
Aug 29 2014
Police are investigating after pills were found among Jelly Tots at a sweet factory in Newcastle.
Staff at the Nestle factory in Fawdon discovered the unidentified pink tablets on the production line, reports the Evening Chronicle.
Police were spotted carrying away packets of sweets seized as evidence from a store at the plant after the batch was found to be contaminated.
A Nestle spokesman said: "The incident involved the discovery, in product prior to packing, of a standard prescription tablet, commonly prescribed to both adults and children.
"We can confirm that due to our rigorous quality procedures and immediate action, the incident was isolated and contained within our control."
As well as Jelly Tots, other popular brands manufactured at the plant include Fruit Pastilles, Rolo, Yorkie, Drifter and Caramac.

Calling All Cars saga, as David Jaffe finally saw the lights go out on his PSN baby. He's got a set of final thoughts over on his blog -- he says that as his first online game, it was definitely a learning experience, and while there were good times, it wasn't the most fun he'd ever had. He's suprisingly regretful about the whole thing: He says that he seriously thinks he probably should have "made it war themed and ['ditched'] the cartoony stuff," and that it was really a problem of expectation. At $10, he says, they were expecting gamers buying downloadable titles to just be "sampling them like candy," not looking for a full game experience.
But we wouldn't worry too much about Jaffe -- while he jokes that the CAC server shutdown "marks the beginning of the end of my career," we're sure there's still more fun to be had from that mind of his. We're hoping to see what he's got planned next by the time E3 rolls around this year.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A Kanawha County delegate is dropping her re-election bid.
Republican Suzette Raines says in a text message sent Thursday to media outlets that she plans to withdraw her name from the November ballot.
Due to personal reasons, Raines says she's unable to withstand what she calls an "ugly political battle" waged against her by the Democratic Party. She says she won't discuss those reasons.
The state Democratic Executive Committee filed a complaint against Raines in Kanawha County Circuit Court on July 21.
The complaint alleged that Raines doesn't live where she claims. The complaint also alleged that Raines hasn't filed several campaign finance reports or a financial disclosure report, and didn't sign previous disclosures.
Raines says she and her attorney are working to resolve problems with her filings.

Melinda sucked in air through her teeth.
"I'll call a club meeting," she said. "I'll explain what happened and try to convince them to let you decide whether or not you want to join." She grimaced. "I'm going to catch a lot of flak for this, but we have bigger problems to deal with right now so I think they'll let it go."
"Thanks Melinda," said Phillip.
"No, thank you, Phillip," said Melinda. "After everything that's happened over the last few weeks...I needed this." She rose from the bed. "Have my parents come back?" she inquired.
"I didn't hear anything."
"Well, they should be home pretty soon, so I should change," she said, nodding towards the hallway.
"Change? But you're clothes are...oh, yeah."
"Speaking of which," sighed Melinda, turning back to the bed.
She grabbed the edge of the blanket and folded it back, revealing a tangled mess of torn clothing.
"Terrific," said Melinda in a deadpan voice. She plucked the remnants of a yellow T-shirt from the mattress and dropped it, shaking her head. "Thank God I wasn't wearing jeans."
"Uh, yeah," murmured Phillip, staring at the ruined raiment.
"You, uh, you might want to get going," said Melinda, shrugging her broad shoulders. "It's getting late."
"Y-Yeah," said Phillip, rubbing the back of his head. "I gotta get a good night's rest. Tomorrow is the last band practice before the dance."
"Would you mind taking the clothes down to the garbage bins on your way out?"
"Uh, no prob," said Phillip. He scooted along the mattress and started gathering Melinda's torn clothing into a bundle. Meanwhile, Melinda stepped over to her closet and began picking out a new set of apparel.
Phillip, who had been dangling Melinda's bra in the air, goggling it, quickly stuffed the undergarment in the bundle with the rest of her clothes and whirled around, blushing.
"Are you...sure you're OK?" said Melinda anxiously. "I mean, if I were in your shoes I-...I'm sorry," she shook her head. "Can you promise me you won't tell anyone about this?"
"Of course, Melinda!" said Phillip earnestly, stepping towards her. "I promise I won't tell anyone about your secret!"
"Pinky swear?" said Melinda mischievously, extending a paw.
"Um, yeah," said Phillip, chuckling at the absurdity of it.
He reached out and hooked his pinky finger around Melinda beclawed equivalent. As soon as he let go Melinda suddenly lurched forward and embraced him, wrapping her massive arms around his body.
"Thank you, Phillip," she whispered into his ear. "You're the best."
Phillip nodded vaguely, trying not to think too hard about the two furry mounds pressing against his head.

Last night's season finale of "The Bachelor" was an incredible letdown. I felt pretty sure a few weeks back, when Brad Womack and Emily Maynard landed on their own private island and he broke into hives while trying to tell her how much he cared about her, that Emily would be his choice in the end. As expected, Brad let Chantal go in a burst of tears and then got down on one knee and slipped a big, glittering diamond on Emily's finger. "I've wanted to tell you I've loved you for so long," he said, before telling her she's "the one." Big duh.
But then came the "After the Final Rose" ceremony. Keep reading »

From NEWSCHANNEL5.COM by Nick Beres
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - A veteran Berry Hill police officer was arrested and charged after child pornography was discovered at his home.
"Everybody was just stunned. They couldn't believe this was Bob," said Chief Robert Bennett.
Murfreesboro Sex Crimes Detectives arrested 56-year-old Robert White, a corporal with the Berry Hill police department on Friday afternoon. He has been accused of five counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

i'm not too surprised to tell you the truth. most police officers get into law enforcement because they have good intentions to protect and serve, but underneath all that is the fact that they are all pretty much adrenaline junkies, which causes them to behave in strange ways at times. basically i think that some of them simply believe they are above the law and that they can use their law enforcement connections to get away with anything. sad but true.

How is it that a 57 year old *long time* cop is still a corporal? Obviously he was too busy playing with pedro to work on advancing.
Anonymous December 11, 2012 at 10:26 AM
If I were to profile as the cops do with people, I would say looking at him he is on very warped individual and feels a sense of power being a cop. He will victimize whomever he can to fill his low self esteem. He is the guy that constantly got his ass kicked growing up. He is a ticking time bomb and obviously a danger to society and should be locked up for a very long time.

Zach Wahls, co-founder of Scouts for Equality, a group that wants the Boy Scouts to end a ban on gay scout leaders, spoke to host Ben Shapiro on Friday about that ban and the situation with gay Seattle former troop leader Geoff McGrath.
McGrath led a Boy Scouts troop at a Rainier Beach church afoul of the Boy Scouts gay troop leader ban. The troop existed for a while, but earlier this month, the Boy Scouts terminated its relationship with it for failing to obey the ban.
Monica Corsaro, pastor of the Rainier Beach United Methodist Church where the scout troop was based, has said that McGrath was chosen as troop leader because he was an Eagle Scout, served in the national guard, and holds a degree in social work – not because he's gay.
Shapiro asked Wahls why McGrath and other gay scout leaders should to be part of scouting, since sexuality isn't – and shouldn't be – part of it.
"Explain your take on why exactly the Scouts should change its standards with regards to gay scoutmasters?" Shapiro asked.
Wahls said that Scouts for Equality wants the Boy Scouts to accept gay scout leaders – the organization has lifted a ban on openly gay scouts – because it feels that the values of the Boy Scouts apply to everyone, gay or straight.
"There were reports early on that Rainier Beach United Methodist Church, when they had set this up, did so specifically to create a national issue; they specifically asked McGrath to lead the scouts in this branch because they knew he was gay, and solicited some media coverage. Do you see that as problematic, as exploitative of the Boy Scouts?" Shapiro asked.
Wahls said that media – specifically, NBC News – sought the Rainier Beach troop to do a story on a gay scout leader.
"If you firmly believe in the values of scouting, then you're going to take action against the [gay troop leader ban]," Wahls said.
Shapiro went to the heart of the issue, which is sex. If the Girl Scouts don't allow young men to lead troops of teenage girls on camping trips, then why should the Boy Scouts allow men who are sexually attracted to men lead troops of young or teenage boys? Are parents wrong to have an issue with that?
A Boy Scouts policy prevents scouts from being in a one-on-one situation with troop leaders, Wahls said, which would prevent uncomfortable situations.
"Nobody is forcing parents to be a member of a troop where a scoutmaster is gay, or there are gay scouts. If you want to change your troop, you totally can. We're just trying to say, if you don't have those concerns, if you don't think LGBT people should be excluded, then scouting should be a place where you feel comfortable," Wahls said.
"Doesn't precisely the reverse apply for gay scout leaders? Nobody is forcing them to join the scouts." Shapiro said.
"The values of scouting are so important they should be accessible to gay people like Geoff and other gay scouts," Wahls said.
