PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla.- Charlotte County Sheriff's detectives arrested 52-year-old Maria Helen Burns, of 17492 Foremost Lane, and charged her with Cultivation of Marijuana.
On May 22, an 8½ hour SWAT standoff ended following three shots earlier at deputies that resulted in the arrest of her partner, 34-year-old Lisa Marie Christopolus in their octagon shaped two-story home.
After a search warrant was obtained; detectives seized three loaded weapons and ammunition in the home. Detectives also located 25-30 small marijuana plants growing on a second floor balcony that were healthy, well taken care of, and recently harvested.
Burns was finally located, arrested and taken to the Charlotte County Jail. Saturday, she posted a $2,500 bond and was released.
Christopolus remains in jail on eight felony charges.

Reno County health officials are concerned about a national shortage of rabies vaccines for humans.
Reno County Health Department director Judy Seltzer told county commissioners Wednesday that the shortage is a concern because there are a lot of animal bites occurring in the county.
Health department officials said they see an average of five animal bite cases a week.
There's no shortage of the rabies vaccine for pets, and county officials are advising pet owners to have their animals vaccinated.
The shortage was caused because one of the two main suppliers of rabies vaccine for the U.S. is renovating its production facilities and the other wasn't able to meet the increased demand.

As the other reviewers have said, the table is very unsturdy in the table top height. It even completely fell to coffee table height while in use even though it was locked and as tight as one could make it. It is beautiful as a coffee table piece.
This was bought in a hurry and it turned out much bigger than shown in the picture. The diameter of the surface came to almost 2 feet. The picture shows as if it is a slim side table, but it is actually raised at full height around 3' tall, therefore, the proportion was off. The adjustable function doesn't work well, although the material of the table is very good and sturdy. So I kept it at it's minimum height. I couldn't put it where I originally planned for it, but at least I did end up finding another space to but the table.

It says in the article that the girl took the photos herself, but her mum was in possession of the phone at the time the photos were uploaded.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 17:03
According to MPAA/RIAA,
Yes, she distributed them.
And kids today know how to take advantage of the laws that's on their side.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 17:07
The key phrase is "According to MPAA/RIAA"
how so ? didnt she just have them on her phone and they got taken off her ? and her mother uploaded them isnt her mother the one who stole and distributed them? I might be missing something from the article but yes taking advantage of the laws as a kids is great when I was in high school I used to run a website which posted laws and what they meant teachers cannot do and what the kids can do! I read through the whole human rights act ....I was one of those kids! mwahaha
Posted 04 December 2012 - 18:51
then the girl is just as stupid as the mom. After all the leak photos going on in the world what kind of brain dead girl leaves nude photos on their phone.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 22:26
no ? lol if she distributed them then i would say yes... but dont think you can really sexually exploit your self

In an interview with BBC Radio 5, Bill Clinton has praised Muhammad Ali as he turns 70.
Mr Clinton spoke of the boxing legend's power to reach out to the people.
And the statesman said he feels that the sportsman was a key element in changing racial prejudice, helping to pave the way for Barack Obama to become the first black American president.
"He made millions of people believe. He was something unique," said the former American leader.
"There was nothing inferior about Ali - he was superior on merit without regards to his race when it came to what he loved.
He continued: "All this stuff played a role. Society changes slowly, like icebergs turning in the ocean.
"Sometimes great symbolic events affect changes of consciousness of a whole country. Ali reflects a lot of that."

He tried to warn me. He promised me all he was able to offer--each moment as it came--but it would never be enough.Sometimes when you think it's the end, it's only the beginning. Wes thought he could save me, but in giving me everything, he ruined me.

You're viewing the JDRF Walk general video. To watch Beth's personal video, please use a device that supports Flash like a laptop or desktop computer.
My son, Robbie, was diagnosed three years ago at the end of August, 2011. Our journey with this disease has taught us a lot. We've met many amazing people and made new friends we would otherwise have never met. We've learned what it means to have a community come together to support you, and how overwhelming it is to feel loved and cared for. Thank you to all who have walked with us in whatever form: by praying for us, sending good thoughts, joining us on the Walk for a Cure, sending donations, reading my Facebook posts, or listening to me in person. I am grateful.
Diabetes-related highlights from the last year: Starting on the pump in October 2013, saying good luck and farewell to Robbie's first endocrinologist as he retired (the doctor who educated us in the hospital), a trip to the ER, having to stay on campus with Robbie while he was at a camp (and then discovering it was a blessing in disguise for me), meeting the new endocrinologist, going to the JDRF award banquet, Robbie participating in a commercial for the 2014 JDRF walk in Madison, and more!
[The picture is of Robbie at the American Family Children's Hospital, near a cow painted with UW Badger gear and signed by Barry Alvarez. He's holding a sharps container - about twice a year we drop off a filled container of sharps - one of the large ones you sometimes see in public restrooms. Getting your finger poked several times a day, changing your pump site every two days, and sometimes having to get other injections means a lot of sharps going into the container.]
Please consider donating OR walking with us! We'd REALLY love to have you join us!.
From JDRF:
This year one-half million other walkers across the country will be trying to reach a goal of raising $89 million.Type 1, or juvenile diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people, a large and growing percentage of them children.There is some good news, though. JDRF is our best hope for finding a cure. It funds more type 1 diabetes research than any other charity worldwide and it's making progress along many promising paths toward better treatments and a cure.

Career Highlights
2009: Claimed his second Charles Schwab Cup title when he finished 319 points in front of John Cook. Clinched the crown with a T6 finish at the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship...His three wins were the most since 2006...Played his best golf in the second half of the season...After taking most of the month of June off, came back to claim two wins among eight top-10 finishes in his final 10 starts...Highlight of his season was winning his second Senior British Open in four years at Sunningdale GC near London. Victory was his fourth senior major title and 10th overall win on the Champions Tour. Triumph came in a dramatic playoff with Mark McNulty and Fred Funk. Along with McNulty, made birdie on the first extra hole to eliminate Funk and then won the championship on the third extra hole with a par after McNulty hit an errant tee shot that forced him to take a drop from an unplayable lie...The following month, made clutch birdies on the final two holes to post his second straight, 7-under-par 65 to earn his third win of the season, a one-stroke victory over Mark O'Meara at the Boeing Classic. His clutch putting was the difference in the win. One-putted 13 of his final 14 holes Saturday and then needed just nine putts on the back nine Sunday. Overall, had just 73 putts in the event, the fewest by a winner on the Champions Tour since Tom Kite had 72 at the same event in 2006. Victory near Seattle clinched August Player of the Month honors...Claimed his first title in 2009 early in the year when he made birdie on three of his last four holes to slip past Gene Jones and win The ACE Group Classic in Naples, FL. Victory was his ninth career Champions Tour title and was his second victory in Naples...Also was T3 at the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship after being four strokes back of Tom Watson through 54 holes...Was T4 at the U.S. Senior Open at Crooked Stick. Closed with an 8-under-par 64, the low round Sunday, which helped him jump from T15 to his T4 finish and also finished T5 at the JELD-WEN Tradition, in Oregon...Enjoyed a T5 at the Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach, which was his fifth consecutive top-five finish, a first in his career. He held a two-stroke lead over Mark O'Meara after 36 holes but skied to a 78 Sunday...Final-round 67 at TPC Tampa Bay equaled the low Sunday score and moved him up into a T3 at April's Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am...Teamed with Mark Wiebe to post a third-place finish at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf...Made his first PGA TOUR cut since 2007 when he played on the weekend at the St. Jude Classic near Memphis. In his record-setting 25th appearance at his hometown event, finished T42 and tied a tournament record for most cuts made with 20...Again played the weekend on the PGA TOUR, finishing T24 at the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee. Enjoyed four sub-70 rounds at Brown Deer Park GC.2008: Among his 13 top-10 finishes was a victory at the Commerce Bank Championship, a one-stroke triumph over Nick Price and Lonnie Nielsen, the event's defending champion. Went wire to wire for his eighth career Champions Tour title, matching his PGA TOUR victory total. Win ended a drought of 16 events, and he became the first player to win the Commerce Bank event after finishing second the year prior. Win was instrumental in him earning June Player of the Month honors...Earlier in the year, made a miraculous chip-in for an eagle on the 54th hole at the AT&T Champions Classic to earn a spot in the three-man playoff with Brad Bryant and eventual winner Denis Watson. After Bryant was eliminated on the second hole, Watson ended the playoff when he made a birdie on the third extra hole. Had lost in a playoff with Tom Purtzer a year earlier...Was second again at the Regions Charity Classic near Birmingham, AL. Made a late run at Andy Bean but came up one stroke short at Ross Bridge. Missed a 16-foot birdie putt at the last hole that would have sent the event into overtime...Was the 36-hole leader at the Bank of America Championship in June and battled Jeff Sluman throughout the final round before Sluman birdied three of the final four holes to post a two-stroke win near Boston...Also had a chance to win the FedEx Kinko's Classic but hit his second shot into a hazard at No. 17 and made double bogey.

Shot four straight sub-par rounds at Baltimore CC, and after leading by just three strokes through 54 holes, posted a 5-under 30 on the front nine Sunday to pull away for his third major title in as many years. Became only the fifth Champions Tour player to win a major championship three years in succession, joining Hale Irwin and Miller Barber (five years in succession each) along with Gary Player and Raymond Floyd (three years each). Victory was Roberts' third different major title, making him the ninth player with three different majors. Victory in Baltimore also vaulted him atop the Charles Schwab Cup list for good, and the $390,000 first prize was the largest of his Champions Tour career...Other win came in early June when he ended an 18-tournament winless string with his sixth career Champions Tour victory at The Boeing Championship at Sandestin. Rallied from three strokes back with a final-round 65, eventually defeating Eduardo Romero by three shots.

Win there also made him the 13th different champion of the tournament...Earlier in the season, fell to Tom Purtzer in a four-hole playoff at the AT&T Champions Classic. Made key birdies on Nos. 15 and 16 Sunday to get himself in position, but saw his chances come to an end when Purtzer made a birdie-4 on the fourth extra hole. Set a new Champions Tour record in the opening round when he posted a 5-under-par 67, his 33rd consecutive round at par or better, breaking Larry Nelson's mark (2002).

His back-to-back Nelson trophies were a first since Gil Morgan in 2000-01. 2006: Finished second to Jay Haas in the race for the money title and narrowly lost to Haas in the Charles Schwab Cup race. Fell 20 points short. Had a chance to grab the crown and the $1-million annuity but missed a 4 1/2-foot putt for par on the 72nd hole at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship to just fall short.

Win on Oahu made him the first player since Larry Nelson in 2001 to claim his first two starts of a season...Opened his Champions Tour campaign with a one-stroke victory over Don Pooley at the MasterCard Championship at Hualalai. Shot 25-under 191, breaking the Champions Tour's 54-hole record in relation to par and matching the circuit's stroke mark. His 26 birdies set an all-time record for a three-round Champions Tour event, easily breaking the old mark of 24 birdies by three different players. Final-round 61 at Hualalai was a career best and an 18-hole tournament-record. Used the 11-under-par round Sunday to come from three strokes back of Pooley and edge him by one...Picked up his fourth victory of the season at the Senior British Open at Turnberry. Playoff win over Eduardo Romero was his second senior major championship since turning 50. Blew a five-stroke lead in regulation but rebounded in the playoff, making a clutch 14-foot par putt on the first extra hole just before Romero missed a 6-foot putt for a par. Final-round 75 in Scotland was the highest finish by a winner since 1998 (Hale Irwin, 75 at the Las Vegas Senior Classic) and the highest in a senior major since 1994 (Simon Hobday, 75 at U.S. Senior Open)...$88,000 check for finishing T3 at the Boeing Championship at Sandestin moved him over the $1-million mark in his eighth start of the season, tying Hale Irwin's all-time record (1998) for fastest to seven figures in a year...Surged past the $2-million mark in season earnings when he finished T2 at the weather-shortened SAS Championship in early October in North Carolina in his first start after serving as an Assistant Captain to Tom Lehman for the U.S. Ryder Cup team...Finished T9 at the U.S. Senior Open but made headlines in the third round when he set a new U.S. Senior Open and tournament course record with his 8-under-par 62 at Prairie Dunes. The 62 was also the lowest round in the history of any USGA championship and also tied the record for the lowest 18-hole score in any of the 13 USGA national championships, breaking the U.S. Senior Open mark of 63 by Allen Doyle in 2005 and Don Pooley in 2002. 2005: Joined the Champions Tour in July and had an immediate impact continuing to split time between the PGA TOUR and the Champions Tour...Won his first Champions Tour title when he defeated Dana Quigley in a two-hole playoff at the JELD-WEN Tradition in his third start.

Enabling you to make the most of your valuable time and stay at the cutting edge of legal practiceLearn More
(Court of Appeal, Hallett, McFarlane LJJ, 30 October 2012)
Contact provisions were made in relation to contact between the father and the 4-year-old child whose primary residence was with his mother. The father was to have staying contact one evening per week and every other weekend. The mother appealed and the father sought to enforce the provisions relying on a number of allegations against the mother.
The judge found that the relationship between the parents was acrimonious and that the mother was vulnerable to becoming emotionally upset and that the father knew how to trigger a reaction from her. The child often witnessed exchanges between the parents and they had both lost sight of his interests. The judge altered contact so that the weeknight contact was just for 3 hours and that the child should be returned from his weekend contact on a Sunday evening so that he had time at home before the school week commenced.
The father appealed and proposed that as opposed to the weeknight contact of three hours, the weekend contact should commence on a Thursday evening instead. The court found that the revised contact arrangements did cause concern as they increased the amount of time the child and father spent travelling and also increased contact between the parents and the child's exposure to the tensions in their relationship. The appeal would be allowed and the father's proposals were accepted.
If you are looking to represent yourself in court this book will de-mystify the legal process and...

Virginia Federation of Republican Women
"Boots on the Ground Soiree" was a smashing success!
It has been several years since the VFRW has held a fundraising event (1/4 century – that's dramatic). Approximately 300 people were in attendance.
We wanted to stage a family afternoon so we advertised free Beanie Elephants for the first children to register. I have been told by several parents that those fuzzy critters have become permanent family fixtures and sleeping companions. The children, thanks again to Martha, had a wonderful time. They had animals to feed and pet, a piñata, games, races, JoAnne the face painter, and many got a new book, "Ruby and Baby," about an elephant and a cat by Mary Jane O'Loughlin who was on hand to sell and sign.
Martha ran a Live Auction, and VFRW 2nd VP Louise Shickle ran an extensive silent auction made up of articles donated by members and clubs. Periodically we asked the members of the DryMill Road Bluegrass/Newgrass Band to announce the winners.The Band was a gift to the VFRW from Martha and they are terrific, (They will be at Lost Rhino in Ashland Sept 19 and at the Harvest Festival in Winchester Oct 12 – http://www.drymillroad.com/). Kate Marterella was there selling her wine in specially designed glasses with an elephant and VFRW 2014. (I will have a case of those at the Oct. 4 Board meeting – http://marterellawinery.com/). Winners of the Best Boots Contest judged by Martha and Pete Snyder were Senator Bryce Reeves, Carol Jones, Aiden Steiner, and William Webert.
The biggest mistake was the estimate I gave to the caterer, who then added 25%, and still, we did not have enough as we believe more than 60 walk-ons attended. We had Michele Wilson's Top Flight BBQ from Winchester (http://topflightbbq.com). They are the best and in no way responsible for what happened. This will be item one on our after action session agenda, and we promise to do it right the next time.
We are deeply gratified by the support for and regard of the VFRW. We can now enhance our communication abilities and make our participation in Virginia's political process more efficient and effective

President, VFRW

Wellesley Island State Park's Minna Anthony Common Nature Center hosts many nature events, including Autumn Festival in early October.

text: Shaq, Trey Burke, Waka Flocka Sued for Mocking Selfie of Man with Genetic Disorder Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 31 Jul 2014 post a comment Michigan resident Jahmel Binion is suing basketball players Shaquille O'Neal and Trey Burke and rap singer Waka Flocka for ridiculing a selfie he posted to Instagram. Last year Binion, who has a rare genetic disorder that affects his facial features, posted the selfie that became fodder for jokes by the celebrities. The mocking has now resulted in a suit filed in Macomb County Circuit Court seeking $25,000 in damages. After he was so mercilessly mocked, Binion started an anti-bullying campaign he entitled Hug Don't Judge and became well known on his own with that effort. All the celebrities involved did eventually delete their taunts and then apologized for their social media posts saying they didn't understand the disorder, but Binion is suing anyway, saying that the celebs "clearly implied that the plaintiff was an appropriate object of mockery, ridicule and shame." The suit says that the ridicule disclosed embarrassing private facts about his health condition and caused emotional distress. Binion's suit goes on to charge, "The defendants' communications had the effect of lowering the plaintiff's reputation in the eyes of those who respected the views and opinions of the defendants." The suit continues saying, "The defendants' communications were false because the plaintiff's medical condition is not an appropriate reason for mockery, ridicule and shame." The lawsuit charges the celebrities with invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and general negligence. According to the Detroit Free Press, "Binion's condition, called ectodermal dysplasia, can affect a person's appearance and cause health problems. In Binion's case, he does not sweat, and the condition has affected his hair and teeth. If he gets overheated and can't cool himself down, he said, he could faint or suffer heat stroke."

Bicycles have been a fairly major part of society for the last couple hundred years, and a lot of technological advancements have made their way into the cycling world over time. What was once purpose-built for getting from A to B has become so much more – everything from racing on the streets to singletrack in the mud, there's a bike built for it. Of course, all around the globe there are millions of riders who hop on their commuter and head off to...wherever.
As long as bicycles have existed, those who wish to steal said bicycles have found new and inventive ways to get around whatever locking mechanisms are put in place to keep them safe. As a result, lock manufacturers have to come up with new ways to ensure their products do what they're supposed to: keep the locked bike from being stolen. Among all the different designs, the U-style lock has widely been adopted as the best and overall strongest.
I recently took up bike riding as a good way to get outside and get active. Being a tech-junkie and overall stat-lover, though, I immediately wanted a good way to track my rides in detail, including real-time MPH, distance traveled, and all the other info that may help me better keep up with my progress. Instead of going the traditional "bike computer" route, though, I decided to use my smartphone to accomplish the task at hand.

Black Tea is made from the same plant as green tea and white tea. The leaves are dried and fermented, which gives the tea a darker colour and richer flavour than green tea. It also contains antioxidants which help prevent damage to our cells. Drinking tea is therefore good for skin, bones and teeth. Studies have found an association between drinking tea and a reduced risk for several cancers, cholesterol and heart disease. Drinking tea may also help with weight loss.
When you feel sluggish, there is just enough caffeine in black tea to perk you back up. The lavender in the Earl Grey Lavender is very calming and good for memory.
To enjoy the health benefits of tea, it is advised that you drink it without milk.

Obama Administration to Hold Ugandan Government Accountable for Anti-LGBT Laws
June 19, 2014 by HRC staff
HRC today commended the Obama Administration for announcing a series of new concrete actions that hold the Ugandan government and leaders in it accountable for the enactment of the Anti-Homosexuality Act earlier this year.
"This announcement sends a clear message that the United States will not tolerate foreign governments engaging in state-sponsored acts of homophobia and transphobia against their own people," said Ty Cobb, HRC's Director of Global Engagement. "We must put all world leaders on notice that such efforts have no place in the 21st century, and there will be severe consequences for engaging in them. This creates an important precedent for leaders and governments considering implementing similar laws. It is important that the Administration continues to review our diplomatic relationship with Uganda, as well as with other nations such as Nigeria and Brunei, which have also taken disturbing steps backwards."
Following Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signing into law the "Anti-Homosexuality Act" in February, the Obama administration initiated an interagency review of the United States' relationship and engagement with Uganda. Earlier this month, HRC President Chad Griffin sent a letter to President Obama urging him to take action.
"The world is waiting for action, and on behalf of the Human Rights Campaign's 1.5 million members and supporters nationwide, I ask that you direct your Administration to begin taking immediate steps to hold the Ugandan government accountable," said Griffin in the letter. The full text of the letter is available here.
Recent reports from advocates in the country have outlined deeply disturbing increases in harassment, property loss, arrests, and violence against LGBT Ugandans since the nation's parliament passed the legislation and sent it to Museveni's desk for his approval.
In December 2011, President Obama issued a presidential memorandum in which he directed "all agencies engaged abroad to ensure that U.S. diplomacy and foreign assistance promote and protect the human rights of LGBT persons." In addition, the memorandum outlines that our nation's "deep commitment to advancing the human rights of all people is strengthened when we as the United States bring our tools to bear to vigorously advance this goal."

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: The Bachelorette, the Book and the Breakdownby Free Britney at . Comments
So are we all still in recovery mode after Taylor Armstrong's complete meltdown at Brandi Glanville's Malibu party last week? To see how The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills pull themselves together, come along for THG's official +/- recap!
NOTE: You can win a FREE Kooba purse ($500 value), courtesy of THG and Bravo by answering these questions about last night's episode! Follow the link to enter!
Meltdown? What meltdown?
Taylor's a little fuzzy on the details. Over lunch with new BFF Lisa, she mentions she was so drunk at the party she doesn't really remember what she said or did.
She seems content to put the blame on Camille and her over the top friend D.D.
Lisa's take on all of this? Let's go to Vegas. Minus 8. Perhaps Vegas isn't the best destination for someone who has partied so hard they've blacked out.
But a big Plus 20 because we witnessed Taylor eating something. The woman who takes skinny to a whole new level actually had some pizza! High priced, gourmet pizza but pizza nevertheless. Maybe a little more food and a little less alcohol will help stabilize her erratic moods.
Speaking of food, Adrienne and Paul are doing a guest spot on The Doctors to talk about how a power couple maintains a healthy lifestyle. Off camera Adrienne calls Paul out for his unhealthy behavior. His idea of several small meals includes popcorn, candy and other junk foods. I like Paul more with every episode. Plus 7.
OK. Who invites their Mom to their Bachelorette party? That's just plain weird. Minus 9. Is this a Beverly Hills thing? But off to Vegas they go to see the Chipmunks, as Lisa calls them.
No, no. It's not the chipmunks but the Chipendales (if you have small children you really need to get those two straight). And after being introduced to cock socks and lap dance contests I think Lisa figured it out.
As a matter of fact, Lisa won the lap dance contest. Who knew the stuffy Brit had it in her? Plus 12.
Over at the Palm we had a competing girls night out. Adrienne has Camille, Brandi, and Dana to her King Pin Suite. After a night of bowling in high heels they head to the club where Camille and Brandi are practically feeling one another up on the dance floor.
Did anyone else notice the strange guy trying to make his way in between them. Nice try, pal. Minus 6. Move along.
Kyle can't make it to either party. She's got a photo shoot for her new book. What Housewife doesn't have her own book deal these days?
What's Kyle's book about? Well, Kyle of course. Isn't that what we all need in our lives, more Kyle? Maybe she'll have photos of her talent for doing splits at parties. Minus 10. I'll be sure to put it on my Christmas list.
Kim can't make it to Vegas either. There's a surprise. I think she's blown off more events than she's attended this season. Minus 5.
Just when I thought the night would be meltdown free, Kim is bawling on her sister's shoulder. Her kids don't like all the time she's spending with her new live-in lover and he seems more than a little controlling. Perhaps Kim should have given family and friends more time to get to know him before deciding to move in.
Kim can't stop the tears and Kyle's only more convinced she's with the wrong guy. Kyle's right about one thing. Kim needs to work on pulling herself together but the odds of that happening any time soon don't look good.
And that brings us to the end of another drama filled hour in Beverly Hills. I'm exhausted just watching.
Is it me or does jiggy look DEAD ? Why on earth dos Lisa ALWAYS carry that dog anruod, GOD please, ENOUGH already Lisa ! LOL
This phoney drama queen is a fake as her lips & boobs. Why didn't her husband off her 1st before killing himself??? Probably wanted to get away from her completely & didn't want her ugly trailor trash. grifting ass to follow him into eternity.
Yeah I'll never look at Kyle the same way again, after how she treated her sister last season. I bet Kim is the one who paid for Kyles nose job. Doubt that Kyle would have landed her husband if she had her original nose. She should kiss Kims ass.
L Tate said a mouthful! My sentiments on this season-exactly!
I still enjoy watching Lisa. I do wish Adrienne would show a softer side to her husband. I hope that's all for the camera's b/c it's becoming disturbing and old.
Taylor should NOT be asked back by Bravo. She's clearly become undone~~probably drinks way too much and downplays that. Who knows if she was beaten? I'd have to really question that. I think she is a habitual liar and needs to be surrounded by the bling of the BH lifestyle in order to feel important and have some sense of self-worth. How sad for her! I feel badly about this book she's written and that his children will be subject to its contents, especially if it's all fabricated. I've NEVER cared for her and if Bravo signs her up again, I'm out all together. Kim breaks my heart. I hope she stays in rehab and becomes whole again. That Dana can go as well. I think she's odd as ever. The series just isn't fun anymore. Bravo---you need to clean up like RHWNY!!!
I watched Taylor's meltdown and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Seriously, she needs help. All I hear is her moods and behavior are someone else's fault. I have never seen her be accountable for her behavior. All Camille did was point out the elephant in the room, while the other bhh were dancing aroung the abuse issue. I am fed up with her and cannot stomach the show anymore. The bhh are neither real nor housewives.
This show is still my favorite but its losing its class. Taylory is so DISGUSTING! She's an alcoholic and needs help. She has to degrade herself and humiliate herself just for the benjamins? It's not worth it. Many people from reality shows have committed suicide because of this. I loved it when Brandi asked Taylor to leave. I wonder if the accusations regarding Russell are true. She probably drove him to beat her if she acts like that. My favs are Adrienne, Lisa, Camille and Brandy. Dana does not fit in anywhere.
I love Camille this season, she seems like a very sweet, honest person. Kyle however, WTF??? SHe has turned into a nasty nasty woman and always seems to need to be the center of attention. Adrienne is a little to materialistic for me. And Brandi seems sweet as well, I wish some of the other women would give her more of a chance. As for Taylor....wow....you need major psychiatric help.
This show is still my favorite but its losing its class. Taylory is so DISGUSTING! She's an alcoholic and needs help. Who degrades the
I know this is not nice (sorry) but every time I watch Taylor (and the way her mouth looks) I can't help but think of "Pete Puma" from Bugs Bunny.
This show disgusts me. First of all, will someone tell me where Taylor learned to smile just like her husband with both upper and lower teeth completely showing? They look like idiots. She has the strangest mouth - she is odd looking all around. Kyle is a nasty, mean trouble maker. Kim is a drug addict and/or alcoholic. I have read she is now in rehab again. She looks terrible, and at least 15 years older than she is. The rest of the "girls" are just silly and have silly useless lives. But Kim and Taylor need help desperately. Taylor now has a "book" coming out. What a loser. After all her talk about keeping the bad stuff from her daughter, now she is blabbing it all in a book for $$$$$.

"since the tribunal may not review the policy decision to move to lyon the only effect it can give to the doctrine of acquired rights as recognised by interpol is to determine whether the arrangements for carrying out the move were properly objective. since the transfer did disrupt the lives of its staff the organization had a duty to ensure that there was no undue or pointless detriment to their interests. the consequences of the change which the transfer brought in the conditions of their employment are to be gauged against cardinal principles such as equality of treatment, good faith and the rule against retroactivity".

paragraph 3(v) of an ifad administrative instruction on probation under fixed-term appointments reads: "where it is deemed by the head of department that the staff member's performance is less than satisfactory, he/she will be immediately informed by the head of department that a decision from the president will be sought to terminate his/her services by letting the period of probation lapse." the president's decision to terminate the complainant's appointment at the end of the extended period of probation was flawed by non-compliance with this requirement. because the decision was in breach of the procedural rule, the tribunal will set it aside and award the complainant substantial compensation for the improper termination of her contract and for moral damages.

the complainant appealed against the decision to dismiss him after expiry of the time-limit. he maintains that "he was never told of the time limits in the rules. though that plea might succeed in exceptional cases it cannot in this one, since the complainant was given a copy of the staff regulations and staff rules on conclusion of the contract of appointment."
duty to inform; internal appeal; staff regulations and rules; time limit;
the complainant was accused of grave misconduct. an inquiry was held into the facts in the absence of the complainant. the tribunal held that "whoever makes inquiries of the kind that were made in this case must be scrupulous in not taking evidence from one party without the other's knowledge. whether or not the evidence did work to the complainant's prejudice is irrelevant. it is sufficient that it might have done so, and it is not the likelihood but the risk of prejudice that is fatal. there can be no certainty that justice will be done if evidence is taken in the absence of one of the parties. the proceedings in the appeal the complainant lodged against the decision [...] to dismiss him show a breach of due process".(note: see judgment 2601, under 7)

"the requirement in [article r ii 1.24 of] the [eso] staff regulations that the staff member consent to transfer is in marked contrast to other international organisations, in which transfer is common and the executive head has discretion to transfer staff from one duty station to another whether they consent or not. the complainant is correct in his submission that there is no provision in the eso's rules for dismissal on the grounds of refusal of transfer."

to mark its tenth anniversary celebration the european patent organisation granted a bonus to each of "all active permanent employees in post on 1 october 1987". as the complainant was then on unpaid leave "on personal grounds" he did not qualify for the benefit. the tribunal holds that while the organisation is free to award special bonuses and free to decide who will receive them, it must apply objective criteria when doing so and avoid all arbitrary distinctions.in the instant case the restriction was based on objective criteria founded on provisions in the staff regulations.

"having put the scale of pensionable remuneration into its own staff regulations, the ilo has a duty to ensure the payment of the corresponding benefits. the sole purpose of pensionable remuneration is the reckoning of the pension, and if the pension discounts the scale in the staff regulations because the organisation has entrusted the matter to another body, the ilo must make good the loss to its staff, who are entitled to have the regulations applied. any difference of opinion there may be between the ilo and the fund is of no concern to the staff."

burden of proof; duty to inform; evidence; formal requirements; organisation; probation; right to reply; termination;
"the right to a hearing, which is a general principle of law, means that the organization may not terminate a staff member unless it has already informed him of its intention and of the grounds for termination. such information must be given before the notification of the termination and not at the same time".

"none of the interveners is barred by any lapse of time from claiming entitlement to the non-resident's allowance and to the other benefits. [...] acquiescence is not a valid plea open to the organization and a woman staff member may at any time object to discriminatory treatment."
allowance; continuing breach; equal treatment; intervention; non-resident allowance; receivability; sex discrimination; time bar;
"since the rule was unlawful it could never become lawful by lapse of time or by acquiescence and a claim could therefore never be barred. even though a claim to actual payment of the non-resident's allowance cannot succeed in these proceedings because of the complainant's failure to follow the proper internal procedure, the question of her entitlement to the allowance must be considered because of its bearing on the matter of the recurrent benefits."
allowance; continuing breach; flaw; non-resident allowance; provision; receivability; right; time bar;
the complainant had for a time no clear job description, but that did not prevent him from being fully taken up with work that was already familiar to him. the tribunal concludes that the complainant's objections on this point are unfounded.
organisation's duties; post description;
"the president was not bound to endorse the appeals committee's opinion. article 109(1) of the [epo] service regulations says merely that 'the authority concerned shall take a decision having regard to this opinion'. the president's duty is to consider the opinion before reaching his decision, not to follow it."

complaint; continuing breach; decision; internal remedies exhausted; payment; receivability; salary;
the complainant is accused of having typed two defamatory memoranda. "it is common ground that the burden of proof rests on the organization. by declining to admit the charges, as she was entitled to do, the complainant required the organization to prove its case; and although the proceedings are not criminal the seriousness of the charges and the concomitant penalty demand that before there can be a finding against the complainant the charges must be proved beyond reasonable doubt."

contract; duty to inform; fixed-term; good faith; non-renewal; organisation's duties;
"it is plain from the evidence now before the tribunal that the transfer was flawed: first, no objective and impartial inquiry, such as the complainant had been asking for all along, had been carried out beforehand; and, secondly, there was breach of the duty any international organisation owes its staff to treat them with respect for their dignity and good name. the impugned decision must therefore be set aside."
ILOAT reference: ARTICLE VIII OF THE ILOAT STATUTE
complaint allowed; damages; decision quashed; flaw; inquiry; moral injury; organisation's duties; professional injury; respect for dignity; transfer; working relations;
the complainant was transferred without prior consultation of the selection board as required under article 4.2(f) of the staff regulations. the tribunal holds that the breach of procedure was minor, though it did cause the complainant injury. the tribunal will therefore refrain from quashing the impugned decision and will order the organisation to pay the complainant damages and a further sum towards costs.

"the tribunal set aside the original dismissal and ordered review. compliance with its ruling calls for more than a bald affirmation that there has been further inquiry. the complainant ought to have been received and given his say, and the decision he is now challenging ought to have set out the findings of the further inquiry. such response to the tribunal's ruling is cavalier and unacceptable."

So it´s the Stevens family that wants to "stay out of it." I wondered. But who´s the second family out of the four that Nasty Legosi said told her they didn´t want any further investigation. She said two.Who gave the stand-down order? Of all of the questions enumerated [or not], that is one I would like to have answered.So much that is not known by the average Joe Six Pack has been revealed in the previous investigations; I was completely unaware that the military had so many, many, many layers of "command." It´s a wonder that anyone in uniform can go to the bathroom without getting approval from sixteen different entities.No one could move on that horrible night in Benghazi without approval, approval, approval. Planes couldn´t take off. Planes couldn´t land.Someone was pulling the strings that night --not giving approval, and it was all for political reasons: getting the Communist Mulatto reelected.But . . . that seems to be just one of many reasons, and one of the many seems to be a cover-up of what was happening with serious arms/weapons; where those weapons were going, into whose hands, and the answer to that seems to be, terrorists were being armed to the teeth.It´s not hard for Joe Six Pack to understand why the cover-up and why the likes of Nasty Legosi wants to thwart the investigation.

Excellent that this event is being so recognised throughout the world.
Here's hoping more will next year.
Idaho was amazing. I was watching their Twitter stream and it was event after event all over the world – with one exception, the USA.
Well IDAHO was the idea of a Frenchman!
Why to mix countries with few homosexual semi-humans? That's the sign of typical homosexual mental degeneration….
