Ds. Capit. Justic. de Com. Placit. Speaker.
Mr. Attorney General was heard, on His Majesty's
Behalf, concerning the Bill depending in this House,
to enable the King to make Leases and Estates out of
His Dutchy of Cornwall: And he having moved His
Majesty to know His Pleasure therein, He is willing
the Bill should pass.
Hereupon it is ORDERED, That the Committee for
this Bill do meet on Monday Morning next, at Nine of
the Clock, and consider of it.
The Earl of Bridgwater reported, "That the Committee for Privileges did meet Yesterday in the Afternoon, about the Business of the Message from the
House of Commons, for swearing Witnesses at this
Bar, to be examined in the House of Commons: And
the Committee have searched for Precedents in the
Case; but finding no others but what were mentioned
in this House upon the Debate, and those not being
in their Opinion full in the Case, the Committee
thinks it a Business of too great Consequence for them
to meddle in, and have thought it fit to leave it to
the Wisdom of this House."
ORDERED, That those Committees which were suspended Yesterday from Sitting, do meet on Tuesday next
in the Afternoon.
ORDERED, That the Earl of Leycester's Absence from
this House is excused, in regard of his ill Health; he
having License from the King.
ORDERED, That the Lord Wentworth is excused for
his Absence; he being not well.
The Earl of Portland reported from the Committee,
the Bill for confirming some Private Acts; wherein the
Committee hath made some Alterations and Additions,
which they offer to the Consideration of the House.
The said Alterations and Additions were read Twice,
and Agreed to.
Hodie 3a
vice lecta est Billa, "An Act for confirming
of Private Acts."
The Question being put, "Whether this Bill, with
the Alterations and Additions, shall pass ?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
ORDERED, That this House have a Conference with
the House of Commons, to acquaint them with those
Reasons why this House cannot agree to their Message
concerning swearing of Witnesses here at this Bar, to
be examined in the House of Commons, in the Case of
vacating Fines levied by Sir Edward Powell and his
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by
Sir Thomas Bennett and Sir Toby Wolridge:
To desire a present Conference, in the Painted Chamber, concerning the Message from them, touching Witnesses to be sworn at this Bar, to be examined in their
These Lords following are appointed to manage this
Conference with the House of Commons:
The Matter of this Conference was to be to this Effect:
To let the House of Commons know, That, upon their
Message received on Thursday, to desire that Witnesses
may be sworn at this Bar, in order to be examined at
the Bar of that House, upon the Subject Matter of
the Bill sent from the Lords, concerning the Bill for
vacating certain Fines, levied by Sir Edward Powell
and his Lady; the Lords, retaining a constant Resolution to maintain all good and fair Correspondency
between the Two Houses, in doing whatsoever they
might in satisfying the Desires of that House, did
take some Pains in searching after Precedents in this
Case; but, finding none to warrant such a Proceeding,
thought fit to appoint this Conference, to give them
this Satisfaction in this Particular."
ORDERED, That the Duke of Albemarle is added to
the Committee for dividing of Trynity Church, in Hull.
ORDERED, That the Marquis of Worcester and the
Lord Tenham are added to the Committee for Privileges.
Upon Report made this Day to the House, from the
Committees of Petitions, in the Cause between Brescy
and Babb:
It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the whole Merits of
the Cause is hereby re-committed to the said Committee; and that Serjeant Wylde, One of His Majesty's
Counsel, do assist the said Committee in this Cause;
whose Lordships are to meet on Tuesday next, at Three
of the Clock in the Afternoon, in the Painted Chamber.
Upon Report this Day made from the Committee of
Petitions, in a Cause between Goddard Leigh and Sir
Henry Pigott:
It is ORDERED, That the said Cause is hereby recommitted unto the further Consideration of the said
Committee; whose Lordships are to meet on Tuesday
next, at Three of the Clock, in their accustomed Place,
with a Continuance of their former Powers.
ORDERED, That it is hereby referred to the Committee of Privileges, to consider of the former Order of
this House, for exempting the Peers of this Realm from
any Assessment for Horse and Arms, or any other Military Charge; and afterwards to make Report of the
same to this House.
Whereas there was formerly a Complaint unto this
House, by the Lord Grey de Warke, a Peer of this Realm,
That one Captain Swinhoe had quartered divers Soldiers, and raised several Sums of Money, upon his
Lordship, in the County of Northumberland, contrary
to the Laws of this Realm, and the Privileges of
Peers;" whereupon the Lords in Parliament did order
the said Captain Swinhoe to appear at a certain Day, to
answer his said Offence; who, being served with the
said Order, did yet refuse to appear; of which, Oath
being made at this Bar, the Lords did order, That the
said Captain Swinhoe should be attached as a Delinquent, and brought before this House, to answer his
said Contempt: Which being accordingly done this Day,
and he being charged with the aforesaid Offences, confessed the Matter of Fact, and humbly submitted himself to the Pleasure of this House; and offered to make
such Satisfaction as this House should order.
The Lords, resenting this Business as an Offence of a
very high Nature, as concerning all the Peers of this
Realm, took into Consideration what exemplary Punishment to inflict upon the said Captain Swinhoe, as might
be suitable to an Offence of so high a Crime, and
whereby others may be deterred from committing the
like for the future.
But, upon the earnest Desire and Intercession of the
Lord Grey, this House was inclined to a Clemency below the Desert of a Transgression of so high a Nature.
Whereupon it is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said
Captain Swinhoe shall be brought to this Bar, upon his
Knees, as a Delinquent, and make his humble Acknowledgement of his aforesaid high Offence to this House
in general, and to the Lord Grey in particular; and that,
before his Releasement from his present Restraint, he
re-pay all such Sums of Money as were raised upon the
Lord Grey in several Places, and the Charge of Billeting of the Soldiers in Northumberland; and also pay
such Charges as his Lordship or his Servants have been
at, by reason of this Business; and likewise pay to the
Officers of this House such Fees as are due unto them
from such Delinquents; and thereupon shall be discharged.
Ds. Capitalis Justiciarius de Com. Placit. declaravit
præsens Parliamentum continuandum esse usque in diem
Lunæ, videlicet, 9um diem instantis Decembris, hora
decima Aurora, Dominis sic decernentibus.

Drought affects Folsom more than El Dorado Hills
Developer Sammy Cemo remembers vividly the effects of past droughts in the Sacramento region.
Cemo, whose projects include the El Dorado Hills business park, lived in Cameron Park when the mid-1970s drought hit.
Authorities "would not even allow you to water your yard," Cemo said. "Everything died."
Due to drought in the early 1990s, the El Dorado Irrigation District told developers not to landscape projects. Instead, Cemo said, developers were required to post a bond for 150 percent the value of the landscaping as a guarantee they'd put in the plants when conditions improved.
The district even issued a moratorium ...

The 1969 Camaro is one of the most iconic pony cars, and there are plenty of '69s on the road, many of which have been tweaked to provide more power than the impressive stock 427 big-block V8. However, none have been outfitted with the most powerful production GM engine in its 100-year history; the 638-hp LS9. That was true until the Jackass was completed.
The Jackass was constructed by GM engineer and Pro Touring stud Mark Stielow in 20 months. And the modified '69 Camaro is more than just a supercharged V8. Stielow added the wheels, tires, and carbon ceramic brakes from the ZR1, along with an Art Morrison subframe and a Tremec T56 tranny from a Dodge Viper. The result? 511 horsepower at the rear wheels, and a price tag that surpasses a loaded ZR1. While that's quite a bit of coin, but someone had to do it first and it appears Stielow's done it right the first time.

JAV HD: Japan Adult Video, High Definition. If those five words don't arouse your appetite for erotically charged Asian porn, I don't know what will! JAV HD has been hosting a bevy of gloriously uncensored hardcore J-porn since its launch two years ago and is still going strong today. Now hosting an astonishing 17,000 scenes across its 14 kinky niche-interest websites, JAV HD has become the premiere J-porn network for English-speaking audiences. But there's still a couple of things standing in JAV HD's way as it attempts to reign supreme across the Asian-fancying pornoverse. Let me fill you in…
I've never had a massage I enjoyed. They don't relax me, they just make me more tense and anxious. If only I knew the right places to go perhaps I'd have a wildly different story to tell, story seen in one of Nuru Network's 1,100 adult scenes that blur the line between erotica and hardcore and will have you convinced massages are where it's at. After all, where else can you find the likes of London Keyes and Asa Akira rubbing their nude bodies all over some lucky fella who's soon to be cervix-deep in sweltering pussy. Soapy Massage, All Girl Massage, Massage Parlor and Nuru Massage have been brought together to form Nuru Network and Nuru Network brings you closer than ever to the hottest, handiest women in porn.
Ferame is the JAV HD network's all-oral endeavor, a blowjob site celebrating the mouthiest Japanese AV idols in the East. Hosting hundreds of fellatio movies and photo galleries, and connecting you to the booming 14-site JAV HD empire, Ferame not only acts as a gateway to a world of thrilling Japanese porn, it's also one of the few entirely uncensored J-porn sites currently accessible. If watching Japanese cuties drain the balls of their fellow countrymen and toss the resulting loads around on their tongues for your visual gratification is your bag, brother, dig Ferame and dig it now!
Tired of dropping your pants to worship the same few dozen American pornstars who've been thrust upon you by industry marketing campaigns and exclusive performance contracts? In need of a breath of musky, sex-scented air to give your porn viewing a new degree of enthusiasm? Why not try the glorious beauties of AV69 on for size. Japanese AV idols, the starring women of AV69 are much like any other Asian celebrity sexpot, only far more willing, even eager, to open their mouths and thighs for a wild, adventurous romp for the small screen audience. Much like its models, AV69 isn't perfect, but it's likely close enough for most.
I have no idea what the fuck a "Shiofuky" is, but I'm assuming it has something to do with A) sexy women, B) precipitous weather, or C) volcanoes. You see, Shiofuky is the token squirting site on the JAV HD network and as such it delivers some of the wettest, messiest, and most forceful female ejaculation you've ever seen. Leave it to the Japanese to push squirting porn into a higher gear and, dear reader, the results are spectacular. Now offering strong HD videos and 14-site network access, Shiofuky is looking better (and wetter) than ever.
Porn is generally considered a white girl's game. Yes, there are plenty of Asian and African American pornstars fucking for their supper, but the more obscure ethnicities of the world tend to be ignored by casting directors, agents, and fans alike. Not so at ATK Exotics, though. A site built around the premise that any sexy young woman, regardless of her culture and heritage, can be a bona fide porn starlet, ATK Exotics brings you Eastern Europeans, Japanese, Portuguese, Somalian, and Native American women (among others) who are eager to prove their pornographic worth in a mix of softcore and hardcore galleries and scenes presented in image resolutions high enough to have your mouth watering and your travel agent researching the safest destinations for sex tourists. By no means a perfect site, ATK Exotics does run into a few problems along the way, but none that negate its valiant efforts to diversify and expand the world of porn.
"Hey MILF!" you shout at a delightful looking woman of about 35 as you pass her on a busy street in Tokyo's Ginza district. Instead of stopping to make your acquaintance, however, she just keeps walking. You bombed out, friend! If only you'd paid attention to JAV HD's mature-focused adult site, Hey MILF. There you would've learned how to charm mature Japanese hotties verbally, non-verbally, and sexually, opening them up to a wide range of erotic experiences that, quite likely, would've made for a far more enjoyable Japanese jaunt than anything you've actually experienced, falling cherry blossoms or not.
Massage porn has seen a resurgence of late with Pornstar Spa, Massage Creep, and Dirty Masseur impressing many viewers with their sensual hands-on approach to hardcore sex. Nuru Massage, however, offers something different: the ancient Japanese art of erotic, gel-enhanced full-body massage. With pornstars Asian (Asa Akira, Jayden Lee) and otherwise (Raylene, Danni Cole) getting naked and sliding their own bodies all over those of the men and women they're being paid to service, Nuru Massage is a wet and wild, yet notably sedate and erotic take on the massage porn niche.

Pretty much anyone with a dog will gush to you about how awesome he is. I mean, what's better than having a furry shadow who thinks you're the greatest thing in the world? So you think,
Hey, maybe I should have a dog. Before you run out and get one, make sure you're prepared for the responsibility. Here are seven signs you shouldn't get a dog:
1. You're not home enough to care for one. Jet-setters, take heed. If you're hopping on a plane every other week for a business trip or to soak up some sun down South, this might not be the right time to bring home a dog.
Same goes for the long hours you're clocking at the office to please the boss-man, jumping out of the bed before the sun comes up and returning home long after it's set. If you happen to be swamped for a couple months and need to hire a dog walker or drop your pup off at doggy day care during work hours, those options are definitely out there — but keep in mind that the majority of your dog's care and socialization still falls to you, and that's a huge time commitment.
2. You have severe pet allergies, or someone else in your house does. Moderate allergies to pets can sometimes be controlled by working with an allergist and creating pet-free zones (like the bedroom), but if someone in your family has severe, even life-threatening reactions to pet dander, bringing home a dog is not the way to go. Safety first, guys. If you still need your canine fix, volunteer to dog sit for a friend or spend some time helping at the local animal shelter.
3. You really just want a puppy. Obviously, puppies are cute. And your Instagram feed will suddenly become much more interesting than cubicle selfies and pictures of your Sunday brunch cocktails. But soon that tiny, "like"-garnering black-and-brown fluffball will become a 115-pound Bernese Mountain Dog who takes up the entire sofa and could eat you out of house and home. Scientific research has proven that puppies do turn into dogs, so make sure what you really want is a dog.
4. You're not financially ready. Plenty of dog breeds love having jobs, but not the kind that brings home the bacon. That is your job, human.
Seriously, though, take a look at your finances and really consider whether you have enough disposable income to pay for a dog's needs. You'll need to cover the costs of his initial veterinary care and vaccinations, spaying or neutering, food, toys, shampoo, bowls, collars, leashes and cleaning supplies, among other things. And as careful and caring as you are, emergencies happen — and while pet insurance can help, unexpected vet appointments and surgeries aren't easy on the wallet.

Photos and Description of this holiday apartment in Ferrara City
Ferrara, which was qualified by UNESCO as World Heritage Site in 1995, is rich of glamour and atmosphere thanks to its monuments, museums and cultural activity. It is also the a convenient base for unforgettable trips to many of the well-known touristic spots in Italy like Venice (115 km), Florence (170 km), Verona, (100 km), the Lake Garda (130 km) and the neighbor Bologna at just 45 km, all comfortably attainable by car or by train. The Suite of Lucrezia is on the noble floor of a beautiful fifteenth-century "palazzo" that amidst history and legend is considered to be a meeting place for Lucrezia Borgia and the Venetian poet Pietro Bembo. It is the most ancient and well-known street in the pedestrian heart of the medieval area of the town, two steps away from the most important historical and sightseeing sites as well as the shopping, cafés and restaurant area. The apartment was renewed in 2011 respecting the historical context that surrounds it, conjugating ancient and modern, old and novelty, to offer the greatest comfort to the hosts. The owners speak Italian, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish.

Pizza dough
Ingredients Tick boxes to send shopping list to email
Pizza dough
In a large bowl stir together 80ml of the water, the yeast and sugar and allow to stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining 80ml water, 2 tablespoons of oil, 260g of the plain flour, the cornmeal and salt and blend until the mixture forms a dough.
Knead the dough on a plain floured surface until smooth, incorporating as much of the remaining plain flour as necessary to prevent the dough from sticking, about 5 to 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball.
Lightly cover the sides and bottom of a large bowl with oil, add the dough, turn to coat in the oil, cover and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Gently punch the dough down and divide into 4 equal pieces.
Roll each piece on a lightly plain floured surface into a 25cm circle that is 0.5cm thick. Brush off excess plain flour and transfer the dough to a baking tray, cover each circle of dough with cling film and continue stacking rolled out pieces on top of each other. Wrap well with cling film and refrigerate until ready to griddle.

July 27 (King World News) - Forget The Propaganda, This Is What's really Happening
Baseball great Yogi Berra had a saying "It's déjà vu all over again," and every year around this time, I am reminded of those words. As we have once again happened upon that magical time of year I call, recovery summer déjà vu. It's the time of year when Wall Street and Washington apologists trot out their dog and pony narrative, in an attempt to spin the actual data, proving we have finally embarked on the summer that will launch sustainable economic growth....

And this year is no exception, as those same people appear to be downright giddy by the prospect that we finally have something to feel optimistic about. For instance, they are euphoric about the most recent jobs report, some suggesting that there is absolutely nothing to find fault with. Of course, they fail to mention anemic wage growth, the lower quality and part-time jobs created; or the discouraged workers who have left the work force.
Yes, they will admit that they were stunned when GDP contracted in the first quarter, but that was a mere weather-related incident. It was the blizzard of Q1 2014 that left GDP buried under 2.9% inches of negative growth. In truth, a more accurate reason for the economic slump was the move in the 10-Year note from 2.48% on October 23rd, to 3.03% on December 31st of 2013. And the move over 3% was the peak of the cyclical advance from the low of 1.63% on May 2nd. The doubling of interest rates, although still to a historically low level, was enough to send this debt-laden asset-bubble driven economy into the freezer. But why allow facts get in the way of a good weather story. So once again we hear cheers for another summer recovery.
The truth is, since 2010 every second half recovery has disappointed and this one will be no exception. The first quarter of 2014 gave us 2.9% negative growth. I am in agreement with most economists that the 2nd quarter will come in somewhere around 3%, resulting in an economic flat line for the first half of 2014. This puts enormous pressure on the second half of year to bring us out of stagnation that has led to the most anemic recovery since WW II. Let's review: After GDP shrank in both 2008 & 2009, growth returned in 2010 by 2.5%, and in 2011 it fell back to 1.8%, it then went up slightly in 2012 to 2.8%, but then down again in 2013 to 1.9%. The inability to obtain growth above 3% in each year since the economy collapsed during 2008-2009 underscores this tremendous economic failure to bounce back after the Great Recession.
So why do they think this year will be different? After all, if you subscribe to the Keynesian fairy-tale of money printing and deficit spending, it was easy to see why they were excited back in the summer of 2010. The economic spigots were overflowing with a treasure trove of demand stimulus and monetary elixirs.
In the summer of 2010 sanguinity was in the air…Time magazine's 2009 man of the year, Ben Bernanke, was poised to save the day -- ready to do whatever it took to get this economy growing again. Today, despite lack luster growth, the Fed is retreating. Essentially they are conceding -- at least for now -- printing money didn't solve the problem, and QE is set to wind down in just 90 days.
But for a Keynesian it gets worse. Instead of an Obama phone, we have the roll-out of the job-killing Obama-care plan this year and next. In addition, profligate tax-payer subsidized loans that funded the likes of Solyndra, have been supplanted by a capital goods strike. "Shovel ready" has been replaced with anemic real income growth and record debt levels.
Putting the Keynesian fantasy aside, the truth is there isn't much ahead that will stimulate real growth. The middle class, which was already saturated in debt, has not been the beneficiaries of the Federal Reserve's money printing. Instead, those dollars have been funneled into the creation of new asset bubbles and have led to an increase in food and energy prices—like it always has in the past. Stagnant wages are being stretched further to pay for the necessities of living. We still don't have the regulation and tax reform that catapulted the Reagan revolution. Companies that have cash flow would rather make stock purchases to increase their earnings per share, rather than invest in property, people, plant and equipment. And, unless the economy is headed back into a severe recession, the economic boost from a lower cost of money will be absent.
The truth is there is not much at all on the economic horizon to warrant optimism. Yes, the cheerleaders are hoping if they yell loud enough, a recovery-summer will finally manifest. Unfortunately, until free-market forces are finally allowed to deleverage the system, it will be a disappointing second half recovery all over again."

Depot Maintenance:
Key Unresolved Issues Affect the Army Depot System's Viability
GAO-03-682: Published: Jul 7, 2003. Publicly Released: Jul 7, 2003.

(202) 512-5581
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Army's five maintenance depots produced work valued at $1.5 billion in fiscal year 2002, with the remaining 49 percent of the Army's depot work performed by contractors. GAO was asked to assess (1) the trends in and the reliability of depot workload projections; (2) whether workloads are sufficient for efficient depot operations, initiatives are under way to improve efficiency, and additional workloads are possible; (3) whether the Army has identified depots' core capability and provided workload to support that capability; and (4) whether the Army has a long-range plan for a viable, efficient depot system.
The work assigned to Army maintenance depots has declined by 36 percent, although the cost of the Army's total maintenance program has increased since fiscal year 1987. Except for fiscal year 2003, projections for future work in the depots through fiscal 2008 show further decline. Depot work also changed from predominately overhauling Army end items to the increased repair of components. In addition, work from non-Army customers has increased from 6 to 26 percent. Army component and recapitalization work is projected to be the majority of depot work in the future. Depot planners generally do not have reliable projections of work requirements for non-Army customers. Because of this and other factors, including changing conditions, future projections have limitations. Potential increases in depot work resulting from the Iraq war are not yet clear. Various factors, including workload reductions and workload performance issues, have resulted in efficiency and productivity problems in Army depots. Such initiatives as facility and equipment rightsizing, depot maintenance partnerships, and "lean manufacturing" have been implemented. Trends in two metrics--capacity utilization and employee productivity--show that, while more needs to be done, efficiency and productivity improvements have been made. Additional workloads, particularly for new and upgraded systems, are essential for future depot viability. However, in the past most new work has gone to private contractors. Some new-systems work is being explored for depots, and depot managers believe that partnering with the private sector may be the best chance for getting such work. The Army has not identified its depots' core capability requirements using a revised DOD methodology meant to overcome weaknesses in the core process. At the same time, it is unclear whether the revised methodology, which is undergoing further changes, will correct weaknesses in the core process. Moreover, no one in the Army assesses the extent to which depot work compares with identified core capability requirements. Depot managers are concerned about the loss of work and the failure to obtain work necessary to support core capabilities. The Army does not have a comprehensive and current strategic plan for the depots and has not implemented the limited plan it developed. GAO concluded in a 1998 report that the Army had inadequate long-range plans for its depots and that such planning is essential if significant progress is to be made in addressing the complex, systemic problems facing the depots. Despite the time that has passed, the same issues remain. DOD has not implemented a comprehensive and current plan for resolving continuing issues about (1) reduced workloads being assigned to Army maintenance depots and (2) deficiencies in the process of quantifying both core depot maintenance capabilities and the workload needed to ensure cost efficiency and technical competence and to preserve surge capability. Without such a plan, the long-term viability of Army depots is uncertain.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In its June 17, 2003, response to GAO's draft report, the Department agreed with this recommendation. The Department noted that it believed that the Army Materiel Command could develop standard business rules and procedures for identifying and reporting Army depot workload projections through the Army Workload Performance System. Nonetheless, the Army Materiel Command alone could not establish standard business rules and procedures for identifying and reporting Army depot workload projections from the non-Army customers. The Department undertook an effort to improve the procedures with the Army Materiel Command Community with the implementation and maturation of the Army Workload Performance System. Further, the Department initiated a study to address workload projection data for inter-serviced workloads across the services. These efforts should result in improved workload projection data both with the Army community and from other services.
Recommendation: To improve the reliability of future maintenance workload projections in all DOD maintenance depots, the Secretary of Defense through the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, Logistics, should require the Army Materiel Command in conjunction with the Army acquisition community to develop and implement standard business rules and procedures for identifying and reporting Army depot workload projections from the Army acquisition community.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In its June 17, 2003, response to GAO's draft report, the Department stated that it plans to address this recommendation with a study to examine how the identification and reporting of inter-service workload projections across the military services can be improved. On June 24, 2003, the Assistant Deputy Secretary of Defense (Maintenance Policy, Programs and Resources) announced a "Depot Maintenance Inter-service Workload Projection Study." The study was completed with the identification of improved procedures for providing improved workload projection data to the depots.
Recommendation: To improve the reliability of future maintenance workload projections in all DOD maintenance depots, the Secretary of Defense through the Under Secretary of Defense Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, should require the DOD depot maintenance community to develop and implement ways to improve the identification and reporting of depot inter-service workload projections across all the military services using standard business rules and procedures.

CHARLESTON, Mo. – Cornealious Mike Anderson spent 13 years free from prison because of a clerical error, then nearly a year behind bars when the mistake was caught. On Monday, he walked out of a southeast Missouri courtroom a free man again – this time with no need to look over his shoulder.
Mississippi County Associate Circuit Judge Terry Lynn Brown needed just a 10-minute hearing before ruling that he was giving Anderson credit for time served for all 4,794 days between his conviction and when he was arrested last year. The judge granted Anderson his immediate freedom.
Anderson, 37, left the courthouse with his wife and 3-year-old daughter on one arm, his grandmother on the other, tears in all of their eyes.
Very happy, Anderson said as he climbed into a sport utility vehicle for the ride home to suburban St. Louis and a planned family celebration. My faith has always been in God. I'm just so thankful. I just thank God for everybody.
Anderson was 23 when he was sentenced to 13 years in prison for his role in the robbery of a fast-food restaurant's assistant manager. He told The Associated Press last month that he waited, and even asked about going to prison, but the order never came.
In the years since his conviction, Anderson started his own construction-related businesses, married and had children. He also coached youth football and volunteered at his church in Webster Groves, Missouri.
At the hearing Monday, Anderson's attorney, Patrick Megaro, said Anderson remained out of prison through no fault of his own, and in the intervening years, turned his life around.
He has been able to accomplish for himself what the criminal justice system does not accomplish in many situations, Megaro told the judge.
Brown agreed. He pointed out that Anderson's crime was serious, but acknowledged that he's a far different man now than he was then.
You've been a good father, Brown said. You've been a good husband. You've been a good taxpaying citizen of the state of Missouri.
That leads me to believe that you are a good man and a changed man.
As the judge announced his decision, about 10 of Anderson's relatives broke out in sobs and cried. Some hugged and thanked God.
In July 2013, Anderson's sentence was supposed to end. It was then that someone at the Missouri Department of Corrections realized he had never been put behind bars. Eight U.S. marshals arrived one morning at his home in a middle-class neighborhood and took him away. He was in prison by noon that day, and had remained behind bars until Monday.
Go home to your family, Mr. Anderson, Brown said after his ruling.

McGirt too commented on the fact that realizing Sanchez was the opposing trainer made him "put his thinking cap on" for the first time in eight years.
"I had to focus on doing different things with Matthew to make sure that we win this fight come June 29. He's prepared now," McGirt said.
Irish American light welterweight Danny O'Connor (20-1, 7 KOs) will feature on the undercard of the fight. The Framingham, Massachusetts, native will take on Hector Munoz (21-10, 14KOs) in a contest scheduled for eight rounds.
"I'm not fighting on HBO, but I hope to impress the people there on June 29. Maybe my next fight will be on television? I'm coming off an injury and itching to get back in the ring. I'm fighting a tough veteran in Munoz, who keeps coming forward with his in-your-face style," said O'Connor in the lead up to the fight.

what a great item very durable and does not band even with out the lid on it and i feel good using it one time and despising it after use because its actually eco friendly will buy again
Marcin D. Posted on 07/21/2014
We are very happy with these hot cups. They hold up well when hot coffee is poured in them and fit the lids well. We would recommend them.
Eric H. from B.C. Bagels Posted on 03/27/2014
Great price and a great size. These are sturdy and hold the heat well. They are big enough to serve a generous amount of coffee but not so big that the pot gets drained quickly.
Mary D. from The Lunch Lady Posted on 11/14/2013
Great cup! They look really nice and are much better than the styrofoam cups that we were using. Much better for the environment too. I use a sleeve on these as the coffee is too hot without one.

Black-eyed peas, candied bacon, pecan crusted chicken breast-YUM! A terrific summer meal. It looks a little involved, but is really very easy as you can prep everything else as the chicken cooks. Try a Southwestern/Southern fusion by substituting ingredients as you like ex: Black beans vs black-eyed peas, add sliced avocado, Jack vs cheddar, you decide :) We like our corn and beans or peas warmed a bit, and ate this as a slightly warm salad. Note: After making the recipe as directed, I wished I would have doubled the bacon as it really made the salad special.

Kenzo Autumn Winter 2014 [Getty]
The Kenzo show was the final part of a trilogy inspired by the director David Lynch: men's, pre-Fall and now main women's wear, 'the crescendo' according to the show notes.
The set, designed in collaboration with Lynch, was dominated by a monstrous sculpture - shades of his early masterpiece, Eraserhead, here - and deliberately distorting mirrors.
The clothes themselves were less obviously twisted although proportions were certainly exaggerated: overblown coats, ultra high-waisted and elongated trousers often with skirts layered over the top and Op Art prints were of the moment: think artfully jarring and discreetly surreal.
Colours - bright and bold - were named after characters in Lynch's breakthrough 1980s TV series Twin Peaks and a later movie: Wild At Heart. 'Laura Lilac', 'Midnight Dorothy' and 'Wild Lula Lime' - a cute touch, they were dazzling. Add to the mix shredded organza, foiled knits and detachable panelling - such transformative touches are big for the forthcoming season - and the look was as polished as it was fresh.
As for the accessories this label is known and loved for... These referenced 'Northwestern American Streetworkers Vestiary' apparently, and came just as thick and fast as the Kenzo customer might wish for. In colours as violent as the clothes they were worn with. Oversized clutch bags read FOREVER, NO? (Wait list alert.)Shoes were wedge-heeled and studiously ugly or metallic and of the safety boot variety and sunglasses were mirrored: part geek, part sci-fi.

Because it has been such a dry winter and warm in March, Greeley residents will be able to water their lawns early. Beginning on Friday, March 23, the Water and Sewer Director is authorizing a citywide variance from watering restrictions (day of the week and time of day) until April 15 when the normal 3-day per week schedule will begin.
Greeley's mandatory watering restrictions have been in effect since 1907. In addition to being a water conservation measure, water restrictions flatten peak summer demand. Expensive system capacity upgrades can be delayed by spreading out water demand through watering restrictions. After April 15, all Greeley water customers must follow the schedule below.
2012 Greeley Watering ScheduleApril 15 through December 31
Single Family Addresses Ending in:0, 2, 4, 6, 8
Single Family Addresses Ending in:1, 3, 5, 7, 9
Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday
Monday, Wednesday, Saturday
Sunday, Tuesday, Friday
No lawn watering is allowed between noon and 5 p.m.
Using a hose-end sprinkler is recommended for this time of year, instead of starting up automatic sprinkling systems. If you choose to turn on your automatic irrigation system, please remember that there may still be a chance of freezing weather until mid-May. At this time of year, only one day per week watering is suggested.
Complete watering restrictions are in Greeley's April water bills and are also available on the city's website www.greeleygov.com/wc. The website also includes information on irrigation audits, water restriction variances for new lawns and water conservation tips. Please call 970-336-4134 with any questions or concerns regarding lawn watering in Greeley.

sepi's submarines
anyone been to sepi's giant submarines in westwood? my husband want to go there for a sandwich tonight. do i dare?
Ahhh Sepi's!! If you are in for a simple well prepared sub, you won't be dissappointed....if you are looking for a sub that will rock your world, well those days are long gone. Make sure to order extra meat on your sammy, or you will be really dissappointed. The up side is it is cheap, and they have pitchers of beer, also cheap.
re: yummyinmytummy
I haven't been to Sepi's in about 2 years (see link)....
...but I doubt that things have improved. If you have no memories of it's former glory (10+ years ago), then you probably won't be disappointed.
I agree that Bay Cities and Victor Jr's are better, but Sepi's is by far the best sub place in Westwood Village. The key to good value there is to order the large rather than the regular -- it is truly twice as big, and only a couple of bucks more. Sepi's is superior to the nearby Socko's, whose product has that industrial feel (think Subway) and taste and which has a very difficult time getting condiments correct as ordered. I also prefer Sepi's to the Roll Inn, the cheap sandwich hut on Gayley, which used to have great value but whose prices have risen and where double meat is a necessity for a balanced sandwich.
As many of the other posters have said, the sandwiches at Sepi's are just ok (they aren't very flavorful and the quality of the meat isn't great). I think you go for the atmosphere more than anything else.
The hoagie at Southstreet (often overlooked) is a much better sub option in Westwood.
You dare.
UCLA folks have been eating there for years.
The sandwiches are fine.
There are better sandwiches, but Sepi's is good, as in, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Sepi's sub. They aren't outstanding, I wouldn't brave Westwood parking to eat there ... but if are headed for the village, you'll be fine.
They have beer on tap, too.
This can not be under-valued.
I really like Victor's, too, it's better than Sepi's. Rinaldi's is better, Bay Cities is often better. But they have no beer. Beer adds a star on the PaulF restaurant scale.
But I've been in the past six months, am a sandwich lover, and think Sepi's is perfectly acceptable.
To answer your question exactly: Yes, you dare.
re: PaulF
paulf -- was at philly west last eve for a burger after i gave a lecture at ucla.
seems we like a lot of the same places from westwood thru west l.a. and across culver city. would really appreciate you posting an email address on your Chow page or sending me a contact. and no, i think i already blew any cred posing as a college hottie... ;-)

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
The shadowy bulk of two pool tables dominates this space, illuminated by a single dim bulb near the door. Beneath the light stands Frankie Man, bit player in Bob Fosse movies, friend to Lenny Bruce, survivor of three decades of standup along a comedy trail that stretches from L.A. to the Catskills, and, most recently, to this makeshift dressing room, five square feet of carpet in the billiard parlor of the Boca Del Rey Golf and Country Club.
Slightly higher wattage awaits Man in the adjacent ballroom, where 300 retirees have gathered to either laugh at his shtick or stare at him in stony silence. Years of experience steady his wrinkled hand as it turns the doorknob to admit Tina Robin, whose drawn face, with only a thin smear of red lipstick to provide color, looks far too fragile to support the huge coils of platinum blond hair towering above it. Robin, the other comic booked this evening, has traveled from her home in Lakewood, New Jersey, for two months' worth of dates in Florida. She wants to know why Man doesn't take his show on the road any more.
"I don't need to," he answers. "And I'm doin' all right around here. Got this gimmick."
"What's that?" the comedienne asks.
"This thing with Jackie Mason's kid. They love it."
Man means the routine he does with eight-year-old Sheba Mason, who, as he trumpets to every audience, is Jackie Mason's daughter. Man hooked up with the girl through her mother, Ginger Reiter, a professional belly dancer and an old friend. (Several years back, Reiter filed a paternity suit against Mason. After a court-ordered blood test came back positive, the comedian agreed to pay his ex-lover $2000 per month in child support, plus $91,000 in back payments. Reiter recently has gone back to court, requesting that the monthly payments be raised.)
After Robin leaves, Man uses the few minutes before showtime to vigorously rub his old patent leather shoes with a Quick Shine shoe pad, drop Visine into tired eyes set deep in the wrinkles of his round face, and comb the scattered remains of his reddish-brown dyed hair around a dome of scalp. Turning from the light, he removes his dentures, rinses them in an old cottage cheese container, douses them with fixing powder, and replaces them in his mouth. Then he stirs another powder into a glass half-filled with water. "High-protein solution," he comments and gulps it down. "Gives me so much energy you wouldn't believe it. Better than drugs or alcohol."
A slightly more animated Man opens the door and walks across the dark hallway to peek around the curtain at his audience. "Looks like a pretty good crowd," he says. "Mostly Jewish." Sizing up the throng only takes a second, but as any comic knows, a good eye for crowds is crucial.
Truth is, audiences don't change much along South Florida's so-called condo circuit -- condominiums, townhouse villages, and spas that house an elderly, predominantly Jewish and Italian clientele. For most of these retirees, comedy never progressed past the routines of Las Vegas and Catskills legends such as Buddy Hackett, Jackie Mason, and Alan King, who made them laugh until they gasped for breath, back in the days when gasping for breath was to be savored rather than feared.
The condo comedy business is booming, though Man and the other dozen or so local comedians will tell you it has its pitfalls. Audience members so old that punch lines are lost on them, or so ill they no longer can find solace in humor. Routines must be adjusted, Yiddish phrases added or deleted depending on a given crowd's ethnic breakdown. And there's the issue of selling used goods. Most condo comics have been on the job so long they face the very real possibility that audience members might know all the jokes, or worse, might shout out the punch lines before the performer does.
Such obstacles, though, even combined with the limits of their own talent, don't stop people like Frankie Man from standing in the spotlight in front of a few hundred
people who probably have difficulty hearing and seeing them, much less understanding their jokes. At age 68, Man is the first to acknowledge that he has made mistakes that cost him his shot at the big time. But he has not given up on the dream of national fame. And even after all these years, at least for those few moments before the curtain lifts and the show goes on, the thrill of possibility is enough to bring up the goosebumps.
"And now, ladies and gentleman," the emcee's voice ascends through the chatter, "give a round of applause for that funny little man, Frankie Man!"
Tonight's crowd is lively, receptive enough to raise even a cynic's hopes. Although lines like "Right now if you live in Newark, your lucky number is 911" draw only moderate chuckles, Man scores when he asks for "a big round of applause for the guy who gets no respect, Rodney Dangerfield." A quick pirouette finds the comedian facing his audience with his collar riding high on his squirming neck. He grabs the knot of his necktie, raises one shoulder and then the other, opens his eyes wide until they are positively bugged.

Where to take foodie husband for his birthday?
- c
- clembeauchamp Apr 27, 2009 10:56 AM
Hello. We've tried many of the usual upscale suspects (Daniel, Gramercy Tavern, Babbo, etc.) in past years and I'm having a hard time coming up with a good "special occasion" place for this year's dinner. So far, the two strongest contenders are Degustation and Picholine, and perhaps Jean Georges. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on why I should choose one over the other. Thank you!!
i think Omen is truly unique and fantastic... http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/...
also, One of by Land and Two if by Sea is also a an oldie but goodie...
re: sashab10
OIBL may be an "oldie," but "goodie" when it comes to the food? Not!
re: RGR
Yes, I really have not read anything great about the food at One if by Land .... and when I went many years ago, well, I've not been back. My husband and I used to go to Omen in the early 90s, and always enjoyed it - beautiful space - but it's been too long ago for me to comment on the chow.
How much are you willing to spend? Where have you been other than Daniel, GT, and Babbo? What have you liked/disliked?
If you liked Gramercy Tavern, look up Michael Anthony's old restaurant, Blue Hill. A trip to Stone Barns in the spring sounds amazing to me.
Degustation is very good for its price point, but if you are considering Jean Georges and have never been, definitely go to Jean Georges.
Have you been to Eleven Madison Park?
re: kathryn
Thanks very much. I have been to the other places you mention (aside from Stone Barns, which will happen at some point over the summer) and, after much research, I think I've narrowed it down to the three places I mentioned above. Just wondering why you would pick one over the other.
re: clembeauchamp
I haven't been to Picholine but from what I've read of the atmosphere, it wouldn't appeal to me.
Having been to both Degustation and JG in the last several months, JG is a must try (i.e., "what do you mean you've never been?!") because it is operating on a different level than most other NYC restaurants. Degustation is a "get there eventually" restaurant for me.
re: financialdistrictresident
Based on the fantastic dessert I had when I was at Degustation, I'd strongly disagree with your opinion. The dessert was one of the highlights of my 10-course dinner there!
re: financialdistrictresident
"What made your desserts fantastic and incredible?"
I don't know if the dessert that was paired with the 10 course menu is on the regular menu, but if it is, I DEFINITELY highly recommend it. It was a piece of bread soaked in some sort of creamy concoction and cooked to perfection. It was like a gooey piece of french toast bursting with flavor.
re: financialdistrictresident
The taste, of course. I had the same dessert Slob had. Several other people have reported on it. To me, what made it was not just the cream-soaked brioche with blowtorch-caramelization, itself, but its combination with acidic citrus slices for sweet/sour balance.
No cheese course was part of the 10-course tasting menu, and I'm glad, because no cheese would have been likely to have been as interesting as the courses they served. I'm not a coffee drinker but was offered coffee. Are you telling me Degustation used to lack any coffee? That's a weird one. How could they have ever lacked coffee?
re: Pan
There is a cheese course on the a la carte menu, but not on the tasting menu. The dessert you are referring to is the Torrija (maybe spelled torija on the menu), I think it is on both tasting menus as well as the a la carte. It is basically a Spanish version of French toast, brioche soaked in milk and possible caramel, with caramelized sugar on top, served with grapefruit and orange slices. It is amazing!
I had the best meal of my life there over the summer, but skipped dessert to try the dessert truck. So naturally, even though we had both already eaten dinner and dessert, I had to bring my foodie/chef friend to Degustation for the Torija that I had heard so much about. They were perfectly accommodating and very friendly especially considering we were only having dessert. The chef remembered me from my one meal last summer which I thought was very cool. We talked for a while before the torija came; he said he really likes the dish, but admits its a bit simple. They are working on expanding their dessert program currently so who knows what is in store- I said that sounded great but urged them to keep the Torija on the menu after I had a taste.
You would not be making a mistake with any of those three. I prefer Picholine over JG, though only slightly. Degustation is quite a different atmosphere, but it has a nice feel and the 10-course tasting is just amazing. In fact it's more like 12 courses, because the amuse is substantial and they usually give you an extra course.
re: clembeauchamp
The problem is it's a very close call, and a matter of personal taste. All 3 are among my favorites. All have great food. Picholine's food is modern French. JG is also modern French but with more use of exotic flavorings. Degustation is casual, though it does have formal service, Picholine is very formal and traditional in decor and service, while JG is formal but with contemporary decor. As far as Michelin stars are concerned, I don't put much stock in that (it is more reliable in France than here). JG has 3, Picholine 2, and Degustation none, yet there is no significant difference in food quality. Pricewise, JG is highest, Picholine next, Degustation lowest. By the way, you can order a gift card for Picholine at 20% off the face value. It takes about a week to receive it.
re: rrems
I would add the following to your comparison between Jean Georges and Picholine:
PIcholine's cuisine does tilt Mediterranean, while Jean-Georges tends to favor incorporating Asian flavors in his compositions.
As far as the decor goes, while I think Picholine's mauve interior is more attractive in person than the photos I've seen make it appear, I find the overall ambiance at Jean Georges more attractive and appealing. By day, the room is flooded with light and has an airiness about it, while at night, the draperies and special lighting give the room a shimmering golden glow. Lovely!
re: RGR
I agree whole-heartedly with RGR. Jean Georges is one of the three best dining experiences in the city along with Per Se and Le Bernardin. Picholine is loud and crowded and I don't believe a great place for a celebratory dinner. The service in the main dining room of j.g is stellar as is the food. The desserts are delicious but very different in focus from the rest of the meal.
THe difference in price is not that much, considering the overall wonderful dining experience one receives at J.G.
re: sethd
Loud and crowded???? Picholine is one of the most hushed restaurants I've ever been in, and these days it is barely half filled. Of course, I don't dine before 8 pm, so maybe it is different earlier in the evening. As far as an "overall wonderful dining experience" is concerned, I feel I've gotten that every time I've been to Picholine.
re: sethd
I can't imagine how you could possibly describe the noise level at Picholine as loud. There are more tables in Picholine's two dining rooms than at J.G., but loud?!! We've had dinner there quite a few times, both before and after 8, and though I wouldn't call it hushed, the noise has never risen above a comfortable hum. In short, the ambiance at Picholine provides a very civilized and enjoyable dining experience.
I think Jean George is a much better choice than Picholine.. What about Le Bernadin , Chanterelle or Per Se? Yuo could go old school with the Four Seasons Restaurant. www.fourseasonsrestaurant.com
ALthough not in line with these what about the new David Burke restaurant Fishtail...very good and lively atmoshphere.
Of the three you are considering, I have been only to Jean Georges. As others have said, it is a must-try for a special occasion. The tasting menu is extraordinary - literally every bite is an amazement to the tastebuds!
The only dish that fell short of my (sky-high) expectations were the marshmallows they give you at the end of the meal; they were a little dry (maybe they're supposed to be, but I much preferred the coconut marshmallows at Blue Hill!). The dining room is beautiful, everyone is professional and accommodating. Just a wonderful dining experience all around. And compared with other tasting menus in NYC, the price isn't terrible.
I would go with EMP or Degustation. I thought service at EMP was infinitely better than at Jen Georges, but I've only been to JG once. Degustation has a great atmosphere, you can watch everything prepared in front of you, and converse with the chef(s). I thought flavors were good there, and we went in for some extra courses once done the 10 course tasting. It was a great B-Day experience, and we will be going back.
EMP is also a great place for celebration. If you notify them ahead of time it is a special occasion, you will not be disappointed. Service and food were at a very high level at EMP, and I think it is one of the best dining experiences in the city.
Jean Georges had some unbelievable courses (egg toast, egg caviar, Lobster with ramps, scallops) but the service was hit or miss. I get consistently better service at Dovetail or Eighty one, was a bit of a disappointment on a $500 dinner. I would go back, but maybe for lunch, don't think I'd want to test the waters again given ample other restaurants to choose from.
So, if you want something along the Daniel, GT ilk, go for EMP, IMHO is comparable food, better service, better wine, better setting, and overall better experience. If you want something different and fun, go to Degustation, and get the 10 course with wine pairings. It's not a gut busting amount of food, but very fun and tasty.
re: UWSEater
Thanks again, everyone. I am grateful for the guidance. To be as clear as possible: I am trying to choose between the three places I listed above, and am not looking for more restaurants to add to the list. Sounds like JG is the winner!
re: clembeauchamp
I've not been to Babbo or Degustation, but based on several dinners at JG, I would expect that you would have a wonderful meal.
