I wish someone had told me… Happiness is a choice… Misery is optional.
Happiness and Joy have kind of been my theme this week… you see… sometimes I can't find my joy… sometimes it is buried down so deep under those days we don't talk about very often… because when we are capable of talking about them… we remind ourselves not to dwell on them. The days that my head is clear enough for rational thought I choose happiness… misery is optional on those days… we all know someone who chooses misery… who is comfortable is wallowing in their own self loathing… or belief that nothing is good… that everything is against them… avoid them. It took me a long time to learn I could choose happiness… that wallowing in misery didn't make me more poetic or beautiful… I've learned a lot… the hard way… Some of this I simply read somewhere… but I wish someone would have told me….
There are no grown-ups. We suspect this when we are younger… we were right.
Life is too short to have "Lunch" with people you don't want to.
Life is too long to not take care of yourself… or at least your knees.
There are no soul mates… Not in the traditional sense, at least… and you will miss out on some near soul mates… this goes for friends as well.
To stop spending too little time with the right people
Chin Hair… it happens… and it isn't the end of the world… Stop crying and Pluck that shit.
Stop.. I repeat Stop googling everything you are worried about. It does not help.
Start googling everything you are curious about… discover your passions.
Eight hours of continuous… unmedicated sleep is one of life's great pleasures.
Shout out to MamaKat and her awesome writing prompts this week!!!

Lisa @ The Meaning of Me says:
I love this one, Kerry – great prompt and a great list of items. Thought about doing this one – I may still. Haven't decided just yet.
Laughed out loud at the chin hair one – so true!
And yes to that eight hours of sleep! So rare and so delicious!
Yes! Do it! I want to read yours! Sooo much love and happiness to you and yours!
I love this post! It reminds me of the quote: "If only we'd stop trying to be happy, we could have a pretty good time."
Exactly!!! Thanks for stopping by!!
Cinella says:
AMEN! There are so many miserable people… I just want to give them a hug!
Cinella @ TMB
We should hug them all!
Kat says:
Agree 100% on all of those. I, too, am learning that happiness is an option and that I don't have to live by my emotions or live being affected by everyone's misery around me!
I love that! I love the ability to see that feelings aren't right or wrong… They just are… It's what we do with them that we can control. I mean it is always okay to not be okay…. And to talk about it to whomever we chose, but to spread it in angry self destructive gestures isn't… To grow comfortable in that place and burrow down into it isn't. Feeling it and getting support will foster a safe place to wait out the storm.
Cookie Wife says:
There are many miserable people out there and I'm TIRED of hugging them all! #gaveup #makingcookiesinstead
I volunteer to receive cookies and hugs
Kimberly Murphy says:
"If you want to be happy, be." -Leo Tolstoy. One of my favorite quotes; I've recently made this my life mantra!
Awesome post Stopping by from Mama Kat's!
Love this!
Kat says:
So much great advice! You've inspired a blog post for me about happiness and I definitely feel the same way about the things you shared here. The idea of just one person being a soul mate is just silly to me. And I'm definitely guilty of googling passions AND symptoms. I can't stop.
Love it!
Tammi @ Momma's Meals says:
Great read!! Love the one about Life being too short to have lunch with someone you don't want to!!! So true!
Thanks! So glad you stopped by!

Lent is apparently the season of guest blogging. Here at the Aggie Catholics Blog (aka - Mary's Aggies) we have Stephanie, Kevin, and Chris, our Campus Ministry Interns, guest blogging for us. Stephanie and Kevin have already posted their first reflections - now we just need to get the blonde intern to follow their lead (psst - Chris - this means you).
While we are on the topic, I have also been asked guest blog at Creative Minority Report, once a week for the next four weeks. I am honored to be able to contribute to their blog, because I consider it one of the best blogs in the blogosphere today. Of course, I haven't quite figured out why Matthew and Patrick asked me to do it. I have my concerns that they are just trying to make their readers appreciate them more...but I digress.
My first post for them is up now and is about the Most Influential Theologians in The World.
On another topic, you should check these links out:

Bora Bora, the paradise island in French Polynesia, has the world's absolute most beautiful beaches, according to a new analysis by the web crawler website All That is Interesting. And it's not the first time this dream island has topped such a list.
"No amount of words come even close to describing the beauty of the Bora Bora Island beaches," according to the site. "We could mention the emerald waters embracing the flawless white sand, the hibiscus valleys, the over-water bungalows, and the towering mountains, mirrored on the waters surface. Or, you could just judge for yourself."
If the photo above is not convincing enough, the one below has to be:
Who wouldn't want to spend a few days on those huts over the crystal clear waters of the South Pacific?
So, what does it cost to do just that? Well, it's not cheap, but you can always find some decent deals. You can price out a variety of hotels on this TripAdvisor page.
Now, here's the bad news. Getting to Bora Bora is not easy, and definitely not cheap. Checking Travelocity, the cheapest flight from Chicago's O'Hare airport on our selected dates was $3,626 (including taxes and fees) per person. Yikes! Now, we did see much better deals from Los Angeles so I'm sure you would be able to put a better flight package together, but this gives you the idea. Is it worth it? Ahhhhh. Just look at those pictures above!
Where is Bora Bora?

7.3 weeks today and went to the doc for u/s - showed no growth since last week and no hb just hearbroken!!! DH is so wonderful, said "I didn't marry you so you could make me a baby, I married you because I love you, baby or not". With 2 M/C at around the same time OB thinks it's chromosomal, we knew the other one was, and I'm sure it's due to my age. Told DH if he really wants to give it 1 last shot, we'll have to do IVF with PGD, and even then there's a chance that none of them will be good/healthy.
Now I get to either wait it out or take the meds to induce the M/C. D&C wasn't totally covered by insurance so I'm still paying off the one in Feb and don't want to go into more debt...
Sucky day!

I don't feel much these days since I am currently going through my own miscarriage. Sounds like our ultrasounds were the same. Horrifying.
Know that I am thinking of you - I wish I could be more supportive, but know that I am crying for us both. Luckily, it sounds like we also have wonderful husbands - who truly love us.

I'm so sorry Mel. I know no words can take away the pain of the loss of your baby, but please know we are here and we understand your sadness I'll be praying for comfort for you and your DH (he sounds like a wonderful man!).

"Mr Salteena was an elderly man of 42 and was fond of asking peaple to stay with him. He had quite a young girl staying with him of 17 named Ethel Monticue."The Young Visiters, or Mr. Salteena's Plan, is an 1890 novel concerning Mr. Alfred Salteena's quest to woo a guest of his, a lovely young lady called Ethel Monticue. When Mr. Salteena introduces Miss Monticue to his friend, a high-class gentleman named Bernard Clark, sparks fly between the pair and a Love Triangle is formed. Dispirited, Mr. Salteena starts taking "gentleman classes" from his socially superior friend in order to win Ethel's heart.Written in 1890 by a nine-year-old Margaret "Daisy" Ashford, the manuscript of The Young Visiters was rediscovered by its author twenty-seven years later. She lent the manuscript to a friend who was recovering from an illness. Two years later in 1919, The Young Visiters was published as a novel with a preface written by J. M. Barrie. It should be noted that Ashford wrote in her manuscript the title as The Young Viseters, but it was published as The Young Visiters.The novel was made into a Made-for-TV Movie in 2003 with Hugh Laurie as Bernard Clark.

Taste of Chicago won't be privatized
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter/ firstname.lastname@example.com February 1, 2011 4:44PM
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
Mayor Daley's plan to privatize the Taste of Chicago has fallen flat.
After declaring that Chicago's premier lakefront festival would "always be free," Daley on Tuesday rejected a lone bidder's revised proposal to charge a $10 admission fee to the Taste.
Celebrate Chicago LLC initially proposed a $20 entrance fee with $10 rebated to patrons in the form of food and beverage tickets. The proposed fee was cut in half to appease Daley, but it was not enough.
The partnership includes the Illinois Restaurant Association and two of the biggest names in live entertainment: JAM Productions and AEG Live.
"While Celebrate Chicago is an experienced special events team that is qualified to manage and operate the lakefront festivals, we believe the proposed entry fee for the Taste of Chicago is unacceptable for Chicagoans and our visitors," Budget Director Eugene Munin said in a press release.
Despite $7 million in losses over the last three years, the city now plans to keep the Taste and six other lakefront festivals in-house.
"It's going to be without an admission fee. It may or may not be the same as it was in the past," said Peter Scales, a spokesman for the city's Office of Budget and Management.
Daley has argued that the way to stop the financial bleeding is to return the Taste of Chicago to its food roots. He has blamed the recent losses on, what he called "tangents." That is, the festival that originated as a showcase for Chicago's rich culinary diversity branched off into live entertainment — the bigger the names, the better.
"This is called a taste of food. We're not into music. We're not into anything else. We got into tangents, and the cost kept going up. We're gonna get it back down and do the Taste of Chicago for food and that's all," the mayor said last month.
"We're not Milwaukee. Milwaukee has a [permanent lakefront] venue that they charge people for festivals. The Taste of Chicago will always be free."
Until Tuesday, Celebrate Chicago had been pressuring City Hall to move quickly to accept its lone bid because time has long since passed to book top talent.
Now that the city has rejected the only bid, difficult choices must be made.
Last fall, Special Events Director Megan McDonald gave the City Council a preview. She warned that big-time cuts could be coming to the lakefront festivals if the private sector bids did not "come back in the city's favor.
"We can only do what we have the funding to do and what we're able to raise money to accomplish," she said then.
"That might mean moving Country Music Fest back into Taste. It might mean we merge some of our smaller music festivals and do more of a celebratory single festival that addresses all those different genres of music. In a perfect world, people will still see all the same events next year, regardless of who produces them. But [the city] is prepared to do what we can to salvage as many events as we can."
Illinois Restaurant Association President Sheila O'Grady, the mayor's former chief of staff, could not be reached for comment on the city's decision. The association has managed the event's food and beverage operations for the last 27 years.
Celebrate Chicago, in a statement, said: "We believe our proposal was a good one and one that was responsive to the City's requirements under the rfp; however, we understand the City's desire to keep the events free of an admission charge."

2 shot outside Tallahassee Walmart
Updated On: Nov 23 2012 08:15:02 PM EST
Authorities believe a disagreement over a parking space led to two people being shot and wounded just outside a Walmart in Tallahassee.
Police say officers responded to the shooting shortly after noon on Black Friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year. A man and a woman -- discovered at the store's outdoor garden center of the store on Apalachee Parkway -- were taken to a nearby hospital with wounds that were not considered life-threatening. They were expected to make a full recovery.
No arrests were immediately made, but police were searching for a dark green Toyota Camry in connection with the case.
The store was shut down for more than two hours, leaving arriving customers stunned to find out two people had been shot.
"It's scary, especially in front of a store where people can get hurt, you know," shopper John Williams told WCTV-TV, "It's scary and it's stupid."

Cincinnati Firefighters Part Of Ohio Task Force One Deploy To The East Coast
The Cincinnati Fire Department is proud to recognize seven of their firefighters who also serve as members of Ohio Task Force One. The firefighters were recently deployed to the East Coast to aid in hurricane response efforts.
Six of the firefighters are currently working in Lafayette, New Jersey conducting door to door searches:
- District Chief Thomas Lakamp (Task Force Leader)
- District Chief Duane Herth (Safety Officer)
- Lt. Kevin McMullen (Search Team Manager)
- Lt. Marty Oevermeyer (HAZMAT Team Specialist)
- Mike Lotz (Rescue Team Manager)
- Benjamin Brink (Ground Support)
Captain Mike Cayse is working as a Search Team Manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Incident Support Team in Long Island, New York.
"CFD is proud of our firefighters who serve as members of Ohio Task Force One. These firefighters go over and beyond their call of duty, by lending their knowledge and experience to local and national recovery efforts," stated Fire Chief Richard Braun.
The mission of Ohio Task Force One is the location and extrication of victims entombed by structural collapse. This type of work, commonly called Urban Search and Rescue, is one of the most demanding and resource-intensive forms of emergency response.
Task Force membership requires advanced training in search and rescue disciplines. These skills are immediately available to the local department for which the team member works. Membership on the Task Force also provides opportunities for management and leadership positions, interaction with state and national leaders, and opportunities to work in areas significantly impacted by disaster. The skills and experiences gained by Task Force members prepare them to better serve their community.

Interview: D.L. Hughley worries about Chicago
D.L. Hughley has been keeping a close eye on Chicago. He can't help it. Besides being one of his three favorite cities in the U.S., it's also often in the news, unfortunately, because of its high murder rate. The controversial comedian and regular guest on HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher" has publicly expressed his concerns but, in typical Hughley fashion, has also tried to find humor in the hot-button issue.

England v South Africa: Dale Steyn sends England to innings defeat
First Test, day five, The Oval
South Africa 637-2 dec beat England 385 & 240 by an innings and 12 runs
Dale Steyn took five wickets as South Africa swept to an innings-and-12-run win in the first Test at The Kia Oval.
The pace bowler claimed 5-56 and Imran Tahir 3-63 to bowl England out for 240 shortly before tea on the final day.
Ian Bell's defiant 55 from 220 balls and Matt Prior's 40 failed to prevent England slipping to a first Test defeat at home since 2010.
Once they fell within six overs of each other, England were quickly finished off by a ruthless South Africa side.
"You must sell your wicket dear when you are trying to save a Test. England need to be more switched on at Headingley because, ultimately, their success or failure will come down to the application of their batsmen."
Victory for South Africa - the last side to inflict an innings defeat on England, in early 2010 - capped a remarkable turnaround in fortunes after the hosts closed the first day on 267-3.
Steyn did the damage on Monday, removing Ravi Bopara half an hour into the day before dismissing Bell, Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann to give him seven wickets in the match.
With Bell and Prior at the crease, confidence grew that England could achieve the unlikely and save the Test, the first in a three-match series that will decide the best team in the world.
Bell was particularly stoic, reining in any attacking instincts on his way to a hard-working half-century.
His steadying influence helped England recover from the early blow of losing the under-pressure Bopara, who followed up his first-innings duck by dragging a back-footed force off Steyn on to his stumps.
The ugly nature of the dismissal seemed to focus Bell and Prior on the task at hand and they knuckled down for the remainder of the morning session, taking the sting out of the seamers and using their feet to negate any turn from leg-spinner Tahir.
Bell did get a faint edge on one Tahir delivery, but stand-in wicketkeeper AB de Villiers spilled the chance, helping England reach lunch without further alarm.
However, Prior's departure sparked a collapse that saw England lose their last five wickets for 37 runs.
The sweep shot was redundant until Prior attempted it against Tahir, succeeding only in gloving the ball to Jacques Kallis at first slip.
The importance of the wicket was not lost on South Africa, who took the new ball four overs later and set about finishing off England's tail.
Steyn, bowling with great hostility, drew Bell into playing at a wide one that found Kallis at second slip.
England v South Africa
19-23 July: First Test, The Oval - South Africa won by an innings and 12 runs
2-6 August: Second Test, Headingley
16-20 August: Third Test, Lord's
Broad was caught down the leg side after South Africa successfully reviewed a not-out decision, Swann drove tamely to extra-cover and James Anderson was trapped in front by Tahir.
The second match of the series starts at Headingley on 2 August, with South Africa knowing a victory will see them overtake England as the world's leading Test team.

I'm of the opinion that we generally wait too long to introduce new players into the test team and instead persist with established players living on former glory.
Ramprakash was another brilliant county player who was not able to step up to test cricket. Amazingly he still played over 50 tests despite averaging a paltry 27.

@262, I'm certainly not in favour of judging someone as not good enough for Test cricket until they've played at least twenty Tests. England fans are too quick to write players off after just two or three Tests. A lot of England fans wrote Bresnan off at first but he's improved enormously in the last couple of years. Bopara isn't helped with so many England fans willing him to fail.

@260, I'm not in favour of using Test cricket as a breeding ground for untried youngsters except possibly in a dead Test at the end of a series that has already been won and lost. As long as a Test series is alive you should always pick your best eleven. Strauss is coming to the end of his career but there's no obvious alternative to him at the moment. It's too soon for Root in my opinion.

@259 mrnoneofyourbusiness
I'd say it takes a lot less than 30 tests to determine whether a player can deal with the demands of test cricket.
Hick was a classic example of a player who couldn't adjust. I saw him pulverise county attacks many times but against the West Indies for example he was lost.
I think he played over 60 tests as we hoped he would come good at some point. He didn't.

@258, do you have a link to that interview? I don't think Woakes has batted higher than eight for Warwickshire in the county championship this season but he certainly has in one day cricket. But one day cricket is irrelevant to this debate.

From Negotiating Clients to Negotiating Toddlers
"He's throwing up and he has a temperature of a hundred and three."I'm sitting in a hotel room, seemingly thousands of miles from my flu-ridden-maybe-it's-west-nile-virus-baby boy, listening carefully while the nanny calmly reports his stats."What did the pediatrician say?" I ask."Still waiting for him to call me back. The nurse said it sounded like RSV." Respiratory Syncytial Virus. A parent's worst fear."Where's grandma or grandpa?" I ask. They are our "back-ups" when we're out of town."I have a call out to both of them. When is Tim coming home?" My husband, an attorney at Brown, Drew & Massey, LLP, is stuck in another nameless town miles from our first-born and jammed up in depositions. Like me.That's when it hit me: What's wrong with this picture? Why am I expending so much time and energy orchestrating child care via satellite with a cast of thousands -- none of which include me, by the way -- when I really should be at home with my baby? Permanently.The decision to leave the law profession was, in some respects, the easiest decision I've ever made. In other respects, it was the most difficult. As a parent, even as a relatively new parent, I was struck by the immediacy of child-rearing. In the space of six short months of our little boy's life, I quickly understood that a child grows at lightning speed. I'd already missed Finn's first steps (alright, maybe I saw them later that evening, but I missed the first step); his first words (the nanny put the phone to his mouth, but all I heard was a lot of heavy breathing and what sounded like a Labrador licking the receiver).I deeply felt that I needed to be home with my child, but I knew also that the transition from the practice of law to the practice of motherhood would be fraught with difficulties. First, there were the anticipated identity issues. Who am I now that I don't practice law? Do I still call myself a "lawyer"? A "non-practicing" lawyer? Tim and I shared a good laugh the first time I saw myself identified as a "Homemaker" on our tax returns. Not because Homemaker is not as noble a profession as the law is. But as it applied to me – one who hates to cook, clean, sew, is not particularly talented in home design, and one who is thoroughly flummoxed by a new sport called "scrapbooking" – the title "Homemaker" is a misnomer.Also, leaving my law practice was bound to have significant implications, some of which I realized at the time, and some of which were revealed later. There were the obvious considerations: the time, money, and energy it took to get through law school, pass the bar and begin your practice. Other more subtle factors included the practice of law itself. There's a reason we lawyers refer to it as a "practice" and I felt that, after five years in the profession, I was just beginning to understand it. I was just beginning to develop the contours of my own practice, to discover my voice as an attorney, and to develop relationships, rapport and credibility with other practitioners, clients and the judiciary. This was currency I knew I would likely forfeit entirely, an investment unlikely to draw returns. I knew this because I knew, instinctively, that a mother's feelings for her child do not lessen after one year and that it would be a significant amount of time before I returned to the profession, most likely when our children are firmly embedded in school.People often ask if I am interested in part-time work, in the interest of maintaining ties with the profession. Indeed, I have been approached a number of times since leaving the practice to write a brief here and there on a particular issue or to consider ongoing part-time work with a particular firm. Thus far, I've turned down each and every opportunity. Contrary to the image of a stay-at-home mom eating bon bons and watching "Oprah" every day, the practice of mommy-hood (at least in my house) requires my undivided efforts and, given the remarkable parallels between the practice of law and motherhood, I feel I'm maintaining my attorney skills. For example, on any given day, I use skills honed during my five years of practice for negotiations ("I'll give you an entire bag of Skittles if you'll quit screaming at the top of your lungs while we're at Wal-mart"); product liability issues (ever tried to open that plastic casing on a new toy in less than an hour?); time management, dispute resolution and constant "discovery" (as in… "how long has that sippy cup of milk been behind the couch?").Eventually, of course, I intend to resume my practice and I've discovered the trick is to remain "in touch" with the profession. To that end, I maintain my license and keep abreast of my CLE requirements. It helps that husband Tim is an attorney, who keeps me updated on significant legal "goings-on." Also, the Wyoming State Bar is a tremendous resource. Our Bar Association means many things to many practitioners, but as an "active" non-practitioner, the Bar Association is my life-line to the profession. I'm fully aware of the implications of leaving a profession mid-stream. It's not unusual to read of women who have "derailed" their career path in order to stay at home with their children. It's true, as one who has left the practice for an extended period of time, the odds of effortlessly jumping back into the game -- playing the same position at the same wages -- are not in my favor. Since I have been away from the profession, laws have changed, been amended, re-written, and attorneys and clients alike have come and gone. However, I am offended by the negative characterization that choosing to step on the sidelines is somehow not the "correct" decision. The imagery of a train derailment suggests that I took a wrong turn or made a hasty decision in waiving my right to practice law in favor of my home life. We Wyoming lawyers often celebrate our profession as not just a "job" but truly a life's passion. And so too, it is for me; my career path is my life's path and for now, my emphasis is on my family.I often tell my husband, in a variation of the well-known bumper sticker, "a bad day at home with the boys is better than my best day in my law practice." Whereas the transition from practicing attorney to practicing mother was laden with uncertainty, it was a transition I happily made, and one in which I suffer no regrets. Susan Chapin Stubson received a B.M. from the University of Colorado, an M.M. from the Eastman School of Music, and a J.D. from the University of Wyoming. She is a stay-at-home mom in Casper, Wyoming. She and her husband Tim have two boys, Finnegan Graham, 4 years old, and Meade Elijah, 2 years old.Copyright © 2006 – Wyoming State Bar

Current project - solo exhibition
Tim Shaw RA: Black Smoke Rising
mac, birmingham, 12th April - 8thJune 2014
Aberystwyth Art Centre, 4th October - 18th November 2014
Belfast born sculptor Tim Shaw R.A. grapples with contemporary and political realities whilst evoking the mythical and metaphysical. With increasing public recognition, this is Shaw's first solo exhibition in a major public gallery and is a unique opportunity to view a seminal body of work.
Specially reworked, three pieces are exhibited, including the powerful installation Casting a Dark Democracy. Based on the infamous 2004 photograph of a prisoner in Abu Ghraib, this piece was described by the Financial Times as 'the most politically charged yet poetically resonant new work... It ought to stand on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square'.
A series of talks and workshops by artist and curator accompany this exhibition.

Phase II Storm Water Management Permit
The Ohio EPA has required Belmont County to apply for a Phase II Storm Water Management Permit to comply with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and the Ohio Water Pollution Control Act an unfunded mandate issued by the Ohio EPA. This Mandate affects the townships of Pease and Richland, and the cities of St. Clairsville and Martins Ferry, and the villages of Bridgeport, Bellaire, and Shadyside and is attempting to remove and reduce pollutants distributed into local streams and water ways following storm events. According to the EPA gas, oil, and road salts from local roads, pesticides and fertilizer from lawns, sediment from construction sites, illicit discharges from the lack of or faulty septic systems and discarded trash are washed into our local waterways during rain storms. This pollution discourages the recreational use, contaminates, and harms aquatic life in our streams and waterways.
To comply with the new mandates the County Commissioners have accepted a Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) prepared by the URS Corporation of Columbus which sets up a plan of events and projects to fully comply with the Phase II permit. The plan identifies what needs to be done in the six categories of the permit; public education and outreach on the impacts of storm water, public involvement and participation, illicit discharge detention and elimination, construction site storm water run-off control, post construction storm water management in new and redevelopment, and pollution prevention and good housekeeping. One of the first Best Management Practices of the SWMP is the creation of a Storm Water Management Committee (SWMC) which is made up of a representative from each of the effected entities including Township trustees, city and village mayors, the Health Dept., the County Commissioners, the Engineers Dept., and the GIS Dept. which meets regularly each month. This committee will be responsible for the implementation, documentation, and annual reporting on the progress of the SWMP.
Contact the Belmont County Commissioners at 740-699-2155.

Raleigh, North Carolina
shooting in Southeast raleigh
Three public schools were ordered on lockdown following the shooting, but an official said there are no indications that school personnel or students were among the shooting victims. All three were taken to WakeMed with what police say did not appear to be life-threatening injuries.
The shootings happened near the intersection of Tipton and Coleman streets, three blocks east of Ligon Middle School, said Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue. Police have cordoned off three blocks just west of Rock Quarry Road, as detectives and investigators from the City-County Bureau of Identification look for evidence.
Someone called 911 just before 2:30 p.m. to report the shootings, Sughrue said
Police say the suspected shooter was described as a black man in his late teens to early 20s who stands about 6 feet tall and weighs about 185 pounds. He was wearing a white jacket with some type of black writing or graphics on it and was last seen fleeing on foot towards Rock Quarry Road.
Volunteers were sorting clothing at the Helping Hand Mission on Rock Quarry when they heard a series of gunshots, said executive director Sylvia Wiggins.

text: Maldonado quiet on Williams deal reports 19 November, 2010 Pastor Maldonado with Patrick Head during the Young Driver Test in Abu Dhabi Nov.19 (GMM) Pastor Maldonado has refused to confirm speculation he has already signed to make his F1 debut with the Williams team in 2011. In Abu Dhabi this week, the new GP2 champion has been testing both with Williams as well as HRT, the Spanish team that will use a gearbox supplied by Oxfordshire based Williams next year. Williams has cleared a 2011 race seat alongside Rubens Barrichello by ousting Nico Hulkenberg, whose manager Willi Weber said on Monday that the team has "probably already done a deal with Pastor Maldonado". It is assumed that Williams has signed Maldonado because it needs his financial backing provided by the Venezuelan government and the petroleum company PDVSA. But Maldonado is quoted by F1's official website: "At the moment, no comment on that." Tweet Twiinz lost a little respect for Williams. They handled this all wrong.

Hopefully this has nothing to do with what Hanna has been watching on television .... lol.
|Mon, 01-21-2013 - 8:11am
Although..... come to think of it..... maybe it is something Hanna WOULD appreciate...
|Mon, 01-21-2013 - 9:08am
Sounds to me like an exotic dance move. "Did anyone else see the way Sandy nailed that zarzuela turn around the pole?"
|Mon, 01-21-2013 - 9:19am
Actually Tracy it is a new Zumba routine I am working on. Had not thought about using the pole but that might not be a bad idea! It does burn a lot of calories!
|Mon, 01-21-2013 - 1:52pm
Having cheated and Googled, it seems like something I SHOULD have known, but I had never heard it before. Somehow my undergrad music courses didn't cover it.
|Mon, 01-21-2013 - 2:49pm
Oh, Sandy's right... it DOES sound like something in a Zumba routine.... especially since Zumba is latin, right?
Zarzuela: a Spanish operetta, mostly comedic
|Mon, 01-21-2013 - 2:59pm
Yes and if you have seen some of the people in my Zumba class you would call it comical!
