November 26, 2014
November 24, 2006
The holiday season got off to a tragic start after a man was found dead in Charlottesville.
Those at the scene say it was pretty odd because it happened just a few feet from the doors leading inside the Salvation Army. Some residents said they saw the man get into a van on Thanksgiving, but but thought he was sleeping until they saw him lying in the same spot in the same position the day after.
"I called 911, and came out to look at the man. I said something is definitely wrong with him," said Charlottesville Gibson-Jones.
Charlottesville Police quickly put up crime scene tape to start an investigation.
"We have the death of a gentleman that was on the property of the Salvation Army that we are investigating," said Sergeant Tito Durrette of the Charlottesville Police Department.
While Sgt. Durrette tries to find out how the man died others in the shelter wonder, too. One person from shelter said he saw the man do what plenty of others did for Thanksgiving.
"I saw him go in to eat. He came out, got in the van. He then got in the seat, so we figured he was taking a nap. We looked today at lunch after joking around, and then the man was dead," said Leonard Taylor who lives at the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army said the man was not a resident of the shelter. Some of its residents said the man was around the shelter along with his van a few times before.
As police work a crime scene to find a cause of death, the manager for the shelter said it is a cause for concern.
"It bothers me a little being right here in the holidays, and I guess with us being homeless shelter," added Gibson-Jones.
Now as a tragedy strikes one day after Thanksgiving those at the shelter are waiting for answers.
"We treat all suspicious deaths as a homicide until we rule that factor out, and then it is notifying the next of kin," added Sgt. Durrette.
Police did find prescription medication in the van with patient information, but the label was marked with a post office box address. Police say not having a physical address could make it difficult to find a next of kin.
Charlottesville Police say they're now waiting for the results of an autopsy.

Austin Cottage Rental Photos and Description
1 Bedroom, 1 Bath Guest House.
Garner Hideout
This cozy guest house is in the Zilker 'hood that marks the entryway to South Central Austin. The neighborhood sits on a limestone bluff over the 350-acre Zilker Park. This is the home of the Austin City Limits music fest and of Austin's spring fed soul—Barton Springs pool.
From your guest house, walk west into the sunset to dip in Austin's coolest pool, mountain bike along Barton Creek, stroll through the Botanical Gardens, romp on the Zilker's playscape or ride the Zilker Zepher kiddie train. The gorgeous Umlauf Sculpture Garden nearby is an urban oasis.
Walk to Restaurant Row: Walk north to affordable eateries on Barton Springs Road's restaurant row or to Lady Bird Lake, where you can rent a kayak or canoe or circumnavigate the lake on Lady Bird's hike and bike trails. At dusk, run, paddle or pedal under the Congress Ave. bridge, home to the nation's largest urban bat colony. Just across the lake looms the downtown skyline and the Whole Foods' mother store, where you can have your sweetie dipped in a vat of chocolate.
Walk east to the Alamo Drafthouse, where you can eat and drink your way through a film. High Ball next door is a retro-nouveau cocktail bowling alley. Along South Lamar try Suzi's Chinese or high-end locally produced cuisine at Olivia's or Uchi's scrumptious sushi. South Congress' funky shops and restaurants are a short bike or car ride away, as are Sixth Street's nightclubs.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only

Guestbook comments from the manager
I was a little anxious about this place, as I always am. Dis I make a bad choice? Well, the neighborhood was wonderful, quiet, a good varity of houses, lots of trees and birds, and frequesnt people walking. We walked into the back yard and met the owner right away sweeping flower petals. A wonderful chat and then into the cottage. Very comfortable! Too bad we never found time to use the kitchen. We had four occasions to talk to the owners in the main house and enjoyed each conversation very much

But get this—it may hit 70° here this weekend! I don't think we've seen that temp since September. It's been a looooooong, hard winter. I'll spare you the pity party … [Read more...]

So many crafts, so little time! I am a bonafide fabricholic and enjoy making many kinds of crafts but my first love is quilting. I have been designing and making quilts since the early 80's when my first grandson was born and I decided to make a quilt for him. Up until then, I had made costumes and clothing for my children and me, custom draperies and slipcovers, and even complete upholstery to extend the life of our furnishings. I love refurbishing and recycling, and quilting is the original recycle going back to our great, great, great grandmothers out of complete necessity.

Tax time tips
Updated On: Apr 11 2013 06:20:00 AM EDT
When it comes to your taxes, a little legwork can go a long way. If you don't itemize deductions or you overlook some, you will end up paying too much money when you file. That's one mistake the IRS won't catch for you.
Debbie Kutzavitch carefully preps each homemade meal. In her home office, folders, papers, and receipts are all neatly stacked. Kutzavitch is always organized, but especially at tax-time she believes in following a plan.
"I know that's probably a four-letter dirty word for some people," said Kutzavitch.
Sometimes, no matter how prepared you are, there's something you've overlooked. Experts say the U.S. tax code is overwhelming and changes almost daily. It's over 70,000 pages in paper.
"If you fail to check your itemized deductions and just take the standard, you might be leaving money on the table," said Paula Rummell, CPA and Tax Senior Manager at Horovitz, Rudoy and Roteman, LLC.
Medical costs are tax deductible. Your health insurance premiums, dental care, glasses, counseling and therapy all count. Also, you can write off miles driven to medical appointments.
"They are deductible to the extent they exceed a certain threshold, and that percentage is 7.5% of your adjustable gross income," explained Rummell.
Education costs are often overlooked. Parents paying for college can take a tuition and fee deduction of up to $4,000. Even grad students can earn a break with the Lifetime Learning Credit. That adds up to $2,000 each additional year of college. Hunting for a job? You can claim the expense and you can put money into your IRA up until April 14th and not be taxed on that money.
These are just a few of the most overlooked deductions, all part of a good recipe for getting money back this tax season.
Experts also say if you've loaned someone money and don't get repaid you could qualify for a non-business bad debt tax deduction. You could claim a loss of up to $3,000 a year.

Foxy Brown Denies Calling Jay-Z an STD-Infected Tranny Chaserby Free Britney at . Comments
Foxy Brown denies calling Jay-Z a gonorrhea-infected "tranny chaser" and is threatening to sue tabloids who reported and attributed such comments to her.
Brown is referencing reports claiming that Foxy recently went to a baby shower and started dishing about Jay-Z's sex life to one of the guests.
She claims she lost her virginity to him when she was 15 and he was 27 ... and that he's a bisexual with STDs who may or may not have a sex tape.
You know, among other things. But Foxy says she never said any of it.
Brown tells TMZ that "The atrociousness of this story has sickened me to my stomach. Any and everyone involved will be contacted by my attorney."
"In all my years in the music industry, these are the most disgusting and disrespectful allegations I've ever experienced. This is a fictitious story."
"NO audio, visual or written interview, concocted with malicious intent."
"Jay has only been wonderful to me and my family, a great friend through the years I've known him and we had nothing but great success as a team."
"Beyonce, his wife, has always been gracious and sweet to me ... I will NOT let any undercover hater create discord and disrespect my name and reputation."
"This disrespect will NOT be tolerated."
OKAY then. Consider us on notice.
In other rumors involving Jay-Z that may or may not be true:
- Beyonce's pregnant with baby No. 2 (or not)!
- The 1939 Jay-Z look-alike is actually him!
......she's right.
Anyone with half a brain and capable of doing research should know this story came out years ago, someone distributed the story again. Why would she wait years to address this story? Behind every door is something waiting to be revealed. Everyone has secrets they wish would disappear. Behind the smoke one day the mirror will be clear. My secrets your secrets out in the open and before you ask no I'm not smoking. Who will be the next victim of others deceit? The lies the alibis the secrets I can't press delete. Believe half of what you see and none of what you heard. You can keep this hook I don't need it anymore you will see eventually what's hiding behind the door.

Figure 3
Zones and stages of retinopathy of prematurity
The retina is divided into three zones (A, diagram shows right eye) and the extent or severity of retinopathy in these zones is classified as stages (B). Stage 1 is characterised by a thin demarcation line between vascularised and non-vascularised retina, stage 2 by a ridge, stage 3 by extraretinal fibrovascular proliferation, stage 4 by part retinal detachment, and stage 5 by total retinal detachment. In stage 3, extraretinal neovascularisation can become severe enough to cause retinal detachment (stages 4–5), which usually leads to blindness. Part B is courtesy of Lisa Hård.

Its name was the University of Sagar. Sagar means "ocean." Sagar has a tremendously beautiful lake, so big that it is not called a lake, but sagar, an ocean. It really looks like an ocean, with waves rising on it. One cannot believe that it is only a lake. I have seen only two lakes with such big waves. Not that I have only seen two lakes, I have seen many. I have seen the most beautiful lakes of Kashmir, the Himalayas, Darjeeling, Nainital, and many others in the south of India, in the Nandi Hills, but I have seen only two with waves which resemble the ocean: the lake of Sagar and the lake of Bhopal.
Compared to Bhopal, of course the lake of Sagar is small. The lake of Bhopal is perhaps the greatest in the whole world. In that lake I have seen waves that can only be described as tidal waves, rising maybe twelve or fifteen feet high. No other lake can claim that. It is so vast. I once tried to go around it in a boat, and it took seventeen days. I was going as fast as you can imagine; more so, because there were no policemen around, and no speed limit. By the time I had ended the tour I simply said to myself, "My God, what a beautiful lake!" And it was hundreds of feet deep.
The same is true, on a smaller scale, of the lake of Sagar; but in another sense it has a beauty which the lake of Bhopal does not possess. It is surrounded by beautiful mountains, not so vast but tremendously beautiful.particularly in the early morning, at sunrise and in the evening, at sunset. And if it is a full moon night you really know what beauty is. In a small boat on that lake, on a full moon night, one simply feels that nothing more is needed.
It is a beautiful place.but I still feel bad because the old gate is no longer there. It was bound to be dismantled. I am absolutely aware of that, not only now; even then everyone was aware that it needed to be dismantled. It was only temporary, made just to inaugurate the university.
This was the second gate I remember. When I left university I was standing by the gate with my old professor, Sri Krishna Saxena. The poor man died just a few days ago, and he had sent a message saying he wanted to see me. I would have loved to see him, but now nothing can be done unless he is born quickly, and to a sannyasin, so that he can reach me. I will recognize him immediately, that much I can promise.
He was a man of exceptional qualities. He was the only professor out of the whole lot that I came across - teachers, lecturers, readers, professors and whatnot - he was the only one who was able to understand that he had a student who should rather have been his master.

Spanish police arrested 52 people after a night of disturbances involving Atletico Madrid supporters celebrating their team's Europa League victory.
Atleti fans turned out in their thousands in the centre of the Spanish capital after Los Colchoneros had beaten Athletic Bilbao 3-0 in the final played in Bucharest. However, La Vanguardia reports that things turned nasty during the early hours when several vehicles were set on fire, with shops looted after having their windows smashed and barricades set up: there was even damage to the front door of the famous Prado Museum.
In addition, 37 people had to be treated for injuries (including 12 police officers who were taken to hospital) as the Plaza de Neptuno, where Atletico followers usually celebrate their sporting triumphs, was turned into a riot zone.
Similarly, there were a number of other incidents in the vicinity of the clubs' Vicente Calderon stadium where youths forced the doors of several establishments and stole fire extinguishers, uprooted road signs and disabled traffic lights.

Thanks for discussing your ideas on this blog. Likewise, a fntsaay regarding the finance institutions intentions whenever talking about property foreclosures is that the financial institution will not getreceive my installments. There is a specific amount of time that this bank is going to take payments occasionally. If you are very deep in the hole, they should commonly call that you pay that payment in whole. However, that doesn't mean that they will have any sort of installments at all. Should you and the standard bank can be capable to work anything out, the actual foreclosure method may halt. However, in the event you continue to miss payments within the new approach, the property foreclosure process can pick up where it was left off.

HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP) - Tourists are lining up at Bermuda's airport, hoping to board one of the last flights off the island as Hurricane Igor bears down.
Forecasters say the hurricane is likely to pass over Bermuda or nearby tomorrow or early Monday. Tropical-storm-force winds are expected to start battering the island tonight.
Bermuda Public Safety Minister David Burch says the storm is expected to be "a long and punishing one," and he says "the potential for injury and physical damage is great."
The airport is closing this afternoon. Schools will close Monday and Tuesday, and a local newspaper said it won't print a Monday edition.
High surf kicked up by the storm has already swept two people out to sea in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, far to the south.

Obama 2.0: The liberal agenda to come
Do not expect a return of the mythical moderate Obama, the one who speaks of bipartisanship with an earnest tone and dances cautiously around his liberal partners, trying not to brush too close to them. Tonight he is most likely to emerge arm in arm with them. He has more "flexibility" now.
Tonight the President makes clear his priorities, and they will share one common theme: More money and more power for Washington so that it may reshape America according to the image Barack Obama has envisioned.
There is to be no serious effort to eliminate the federal debt that already is harming our economy and will only do greater damage as it rapidly expands under a President who has no interest in controlling it. There is to be no serious entitlement reform, no serious reduction in federal spending or power.
On domestic issues, expect a highly partisan, exceedingly liberal call to expand the power, scope and size of the leviathan. On foreign policy, expect retreat.
Tonight, Obama begins in earnest his plan to become the liberal Reagan, to undo the Reagan legacy and restore the FDR-LBJ welfare state, only greater and with more power and authority to control the lives of citizens. The Republican response ought to be as strong and aggressive as the President's. Hit back, and hit back hard. This is a big moment. Live up to it.

In 1982, several major events occurred. The first artificial heart was implanted. The Weather Channel debuted on cable. But looking back, the most important thing that happened in 1982 and perhaps the entire twentieth century was the release of a movie called TRON. When it was released, TRON blew minds and soon became a cult classic. The script ain't David Mamet but there are some superior performances by Jeff Bridges and my favorite evil character actor, David Warner, who does triple duty as corporate dickhead Ed Dillinger, evil digital dickhead Sark and the voice of the malevolent Master Control Program who rules the psychedelic game-world with an iron cyber-fist. Even by today's standards, the effects are pretty impressive, and the Light Cycle race makes the Pod race in that stupid Star Wars prequel look like NASCAR. Do yourself a favor, experience TRON Friday and Saturday at Landmark's Inwood Theatre at midnight. Visit Landmarktheatres.com for more info.

Trailwalker is a huge logistical exercise, and Oxfam relies on volunteers who donate their time to help make the event possible. We just couldn't do it without your support.
Volunteering is a lot of fun. It's a great way to meet new people, or to spend time with friends and family. Trailwalker is one of Oxfam's biggest fundraising events, so you'll be volunteering alongside hundreds of people from all walks of life - it truly is an amazing experience.
Volunteer recruitment will begin around November - so check back then to apply for a place.
Whichever role you take on, you could be saving Oxfam up to £200 - an amount that goes a long way in the fight against poverty. If you're interested in donating your time, find out how you can help below.
There are 9 checkpoints along the route. We need volunteers to help set up each location, provide directions and assistance to teams and support crews, help with car parking, prepare drinks, and most importantly give encouragement to teams as they enter and leave each checkpoint.
We also need experienced event volunteers to co-ordinate each of the locations to make sure they are working smoothly and that any issues are flagged up to the organising staff or event control. This may involve managing a team of volunteers - great experience for your CV.
We're looking for volunteers to support our medical team. If you have any physiotherapy, podiatry or massage experience then you could make a huge difference to the sore backs and feet of our walkers. It's a really rewarding role and also great practical experience if you're studying any of these areas.
If you're a budding photographer, videographer or blogger, we'd love to hear from you too. Could you help us document the 2014 Trailwalker experience?
We need volunteers to register teams at the start, hand out medals at the finish line and, above all, to whoop, cheer and applaud the Trailwalker teams over the start and finish lines!
We were particularly grateful to the volunteers that helped keep us going when we were flagging. They were all remarkably kind, cheerful and supportive and helped motivate us all the way round.

It's been clear for most of this year that Republicans are determined to suppress any and all attempts by President Obama to boost the economy, never mind that unemployment and under-employment plague some 25 million Americans and further undermine an economy already vulnerable to a double-dip recession.
But their holding the economy hostage to partisan politics doesn't end there. Republicans are now after the Federal Reserve and chairman Ben Bernanke. As soon as the Fed announced its decision last Wednesday to convert $400 billion of its short-term debt to longer term bonds in order to assure that interest rates -- and mortgage and loan rates -- remain low for a longer time frame, Republicans jumped all over him.
They blatantly accused Bernanke of trying to stimulate the economy to help avert more economic pain. Imagine that.
A normal thinking person would have greeted the Fed's relatively modest effort with gratitude. Anything to boost employment, consumer spending, more hiring and possibly larger paychecks would be welcome. That's especially true given the increasingly bleak outlook in Europe and the euro-zone countries, which face a growing crisis and weakening economy due to the sovereign debt burden of Greece, Portugal and Spain and the blowback pressure on Europe's exposed major banks and the euro.
But Washington's Republicans, especially the tea party's rabid right wing, apparently would deny the solar cycle of sunrises and sunsets if it would damage Obama.
Still, their witless attack on Bernanke and the Fed is implicitly reckless. First, economists generally agree that the bond conversions might boost hiring by some 350,000 jobs over the next two years. Secondly, their attacks on Bernanke are mainly raising angst among traders in financial markets that knee-jerk partisan criticism of the Fed's policies may inhibit the Fed from responding to possible further financial crises, or to possible trouble for a major bank.
In other words, making the Fed's actions subject to political controversy is a woefully dumb political tactic that chiefly undermines the economy and the job market and puts the United States at additional risk for major crisis. That's not likely to endear wavering voters to Republicans, not should it.
Well now, I thought lieberals were suppose to wait awhile before practicing revisionist history. After Mr Bernanke made the killer statement about "significant downside risks to the ecnomic outlook", the U.S. stock market starting falling immediately to almost 700 points in two days. This was not a Republican statement, this came from the mortician himself. Your "anything to boost employment, more consumer spending hiring and possibly larger paychecks would be welcome" line was laughable and hypocritical. The businees community has been loud and outspoken for tax, regulation, and Obamacare relief so they can hire. You and Oblamer call for more job killing taxes instead. You and Oblamer fight job creating oil and natural gsas drilling, but promote expensive solar and wind farms which are very expensive and inefficient. Obamboozler will continue in his most welcomed free fall.
I welcome any effort that blocks more government spending that is doomed to fail in any lasting benefit for the economy and will result in additional oppressive debt to hand down to our children.

'Watchmen' Dethroned!
BookScan Top 20 Graphic Novels for June 2009
Published: 07/02/2009, Last Updated: 11/30/1999 12:00am
For the first time since June of 2008 Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen graphic novel did not top the monthly BookScan list of the bestselling graphic novels in bookstores for June 2009. Tite Kubo's Bleach ended eleven straight months of domination by Watchmen as it topped the charts the first time since ICv2 has been tracking monthly bookstore graphic novel sales from Nielsen BookScan. Bleach has undoubtedly benefited from near-continual exposure on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, which is currently showing two new episodes of the Bleach anime to lead off its Saturday night anime block.
Overall manga dominated unit sales in June taking 17 of the top 20 spots on the BookScan chart. Although the second Naruto blitz ended in March, seven Naruto volumes remained in the top 20, the same number that made the list in May (though the top Naruto volume was down from #2 in May to #4 in June).
Six of the seven new titles on the June list were manga releases led by Viz Media's Rosario + Vampire Vol. 7, which came in at #3, solidifying its position as the hottest new shonen title on the block. Other manga titles making the June list that didn't make the top 20 in May include two Viz Media shojo series, Bisco Hatori's Ouran High School Host Club Vol. 12 and Kiyo Fujiwara's Wild Ones Vol. 7; two Viz Media shonen series, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Vol. 3 and One Piece Vol. 21; and Del Rey's Tsubasa Vol. 21 from Clamp.
