Review of chapter "Ring of Fire" from
I was really happy to see an update on this story. Thank you! I really like how you portray Buffy and I can hardly wait to see more interaction between she and Nick and all the CSI's as they try to figure out the weirdness that follows Buffy. As much as Gil likes bugs... maybe he needs a giant bug demon to terrorize the strip. lol
From the authors' notes it sounds like you might be updating more often, thats great! I can hardly wait.
Comments from author:
Your welcome and I'm so glad you enjoyed this update! I can't wait to bring in the rest of the CSI's and get them to slowly meet Buffy. Unfortunately, that may not happen for a bit as lots needs to occur before then. *evil smile*
*smiles* A giant demon bug, I like! Good idea!
More updates, more often. At least that's what I'm hoping my muse will allow. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and for leaving the wonderful review! Much appreciated.

Amazing story, excellent writing. And can I say I'm unbelievably glad this is a 100-prompt challenge? ;)
(Tiny quibble: 'chocking' should be 'choking', at the very end.)
Comments from author:
I have amended the mistake, thanks for the heads up.
Oh-yah! I'm thrilled and thank you! While I'm excited for the journey of the 100-prompt challenge my muse has moments where she's less with the woo and more with the boo at the thought. Though with that said, I think I may have found a nice rhythm so hopefully updates won't be as sporadic as they have been.
Really appreciate you taking the time to read and leave a review, means a lot so thank-you so much!

Great job! This story is touching. I'd love for it to continue with Buffy finding a way to get that soul feeling clean again. Poor tortured woman.

Review of chapter "The Only One" from
I just stumbled on this story and am really glad that I did. This is only the second CSI/Buffy crossover and I am hooked. The writing is very well done. You've got the characters down really well. I like how Buffy actually tried a normal life at her friends' prompting. I can see that happening and her not being able to do normal. I like that Buffy is still dealing with the last few months in Sunnydale and how they effect her outlook on life. I can see the natural growth in Buffy and the pain she carries. Very well done.
I thought Nick reaching out to her and the way he interviewed her was very in character as well.
In one sentence you got across that Brass doesn't believe her. That was great. Nice job. I can hardly wait to see more!
Comments from author:
It's how I got hooked. I read JediButtercup's "Grave Survivors" and was instantly hooked on this pairing. I love how you can play them off each other and still keep things moving.
I can easily see Buffy trying to be girl normal for her friends. Through out the seasons we've seen at times her desire to be able to do be that normal girl but I truly believe that once given the opportunity to sit by she wouldn't be able to do it. Wouldn't be able to repress the calling that she was destined for.
Glad you are enjoying the way I'm writing Buffy and her trials post-Chosen. *grins*
Sweet, sweet Nick. Always wanting to be there and help out. He's got a such a gentle heart and my muse is itching to get into that more with our Slayer.
Brass is naturally skeptical and doesn't trust those he doesn't know. He's gotten lied to a lot by witness' he's not going to be swayed as easily.
There's lots and lots more to come with this piece. Thanks for taking the time to read this story and for leaving feedback. Really enjoyed reading your thoughts on what has been posted thus far for this piece. Hope you enjoy what is to come.

whoo hooo! Lovely update. You do know that you are torturing us with these little bitty bites right?
Comments from author:
*grins* I'm not purposely trying to torture... well maybe sub-consciously. *winks* I'm not posting everything that I have written so that way should my muse ever abandon me during this 100 prompt challenge I've got some stuff to fall back on. *grins*
I'm so glad the piece is still holding your interest! Thanks for leaving a review, it means a lot!

Review of chapter "Interrogations" from
Oh poor Buffy! Seriously, your little details make this story/series such a joy to read. I just heart Nick, and his attempt to help Buffy deal with the trauma (even though he doesn't see and/or understand the whole picture). And then poor Buffy, swallowing back the bile, reliving the whole event, having to see the picture of the victim.
I know Brass isn't the friendliest man in the world, but based on how you portrayed him I'm left with the feeling that he doesn't believe Buffy. And if he decides to look into her background a little more things could get hairy!
Thanks for sharing this with us :)
Comments from author:
Okay, the fact you mentioned the little details makes me want to leap through the screen and offer to bake you some sort of dessert! I've been trying to work so hard on those little details and to know that they've assisted in the story just! EGADS! Makes me grin from ear to ear and jump around enthusiastically!
Nick is such a sweetheart and I had fun writing that little gesture because he totally wouldn't get Buffy pulling away from the affection. Doesn't understand the whole back-story and leading up to this moment events. Though I will admit, I wanted some touching between the two. So it served a duel purpose. *Grins*
That bile moment is one of my favorites from this installment. Thrilled that it came across to readers the way I intended.
Brass definitely isn't Mr. Friendly and who knows... maybe he'll go digging a little further. *whistles* Or maybe he won't. *snickers* If he so chooses things could get a little difficult for Buffy. Explaining that whole charged with murder/not charged with murder could get a little hard.
Thank you for not only reading but leaving feedback. Completely makes my day, so thank you!

Review of chapter "Broken Swords" from
I loved this. You got right into Buffy's head and gave us a very real and satisfying view of how her life would be after Sunnydale. The details you gave us were perfect - great job :)
I hope we will get a continuation of this verse. I'm looking forward to seeing where you would take it :)
Comments from author:
Wow! *blushes* Thank you so-so-so much! I like my Buffy more broken than fixed and I just don't see everything in her life being hunky-dorey post Chosen and all of her decisions being easy ones.
There is definitely going to be more. I've picked this pairing for TtH100 and there's more to this story, just need to write it now!
Thank you again for such an amazing review and for taking the time to read the piece.

Valerie Rockey and Ricky Ubeda
Style: Viennese Waltz, Choreography by Lacey Schwimmer
Song: "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz
This will likely be one of the more divisive dances of the night, but I'm with the judges in saying that tapper Valerie stepped up to the Viennese/Ricky plate tonight. Let's face it: this is a weird duo. There are always going to be some obstacles with style and size… but that partner connection is undeniable. Valerie has the spirit and Ricky has the skill, and if they keep meeting each other in the middle, maybe they can keep surpassing the idea that this partnership is going to crash and burn somewhere. Missy said that America needs to see a dancer like Ricky, who's on the next level, and Nigel said that Valerie met him on that level in this performance.
Carly Blaney and Serge Onik
Style: Hip-Hop, Choreography by Luther Brown
Song: "Senile" by Young Money, feat. Tyga, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne
Nigel might have been onto something when he said this was a difficult routine to critique because Carly and Serge have obviously worked so hard, but it might not be something that will make people want to vote for them. I think that's a commentary on the choreography more than anything, but Misty added that it's the judges job to educate the audience on how difficult what they just did is. And it was difficult! This "beastie" performance was way outside of Serge and Carly's respective ballroom and contemporary comfort zones. But Carly came out especially committed to the (skeleton) character, while Serge mostly kept up.
Tanisha Belnap and Rudy Abreu
Style: Broadway, Choreography by Warren Carlyle
Song: "Sing, Sing, Sing (Part 2)" from Fosse (Original Broadway Cast)
With Rudy's Mary-levels of energy and Tanisha's already-Roxie-from-Chicago stage presence, this duo was destined to shine in a Broadway number, even if it involved a couple of pesky canes. Misty thought they danced in perfect unison and as individuals. I didn't really want to be taken out of the moment by being reminded that Rudy has a little showmance going on with Jacque, as opposed to the lovely partner to his left that he just romanced all over the stage, but if Fox must, I guess they must.
Bottom 6: Bridget, Emily, Jourdan, Emilio, Stanley, Teddy
Finally, after A Great Big World performed the already emotional "Say Something" with a children's choir, it was time to trot out the Bottom 6 and break two of their hearts even further. Nigel announced that they would be going with America's bottom two and sending Jourdan and Stanley home... without much explanation. Why do you think the judges chose those two for elimination? Will you be throwing Bridget, Emily, Emilio, and Teddy your votes to keep them from a similar fate next week? Are you practicing the choreographer's steps at home? Please say yes.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Asmelash, Dawit firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-09252012-141052 Document Title Exploring IT benefits evaluation effectiveness at ex-ante project justification stage Degree MIT Department Informatics Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr J van Loggerenberg Co-Supervisor Mr K Krauss Supervisor Keywords
- IT benerits
- IT valuation
- project justification
- IT evaluation
Date 2011-09-17 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe business benefits of IT projects are becoming the main determining factor in selecting projects at the ex-ante justification stage. The core stakeholders, i.e. the business management and IT professionals are charged with the task of evaluating the benefits of IT investment. Despite high adoption rates of formal IT investment appraisal methods, there is still on-going evidence that show organisations not being able to appropriately evaluate IT benefits. This study investigates the process of IT project evaluation at the ex-ante justification stage to understand factors that contribute to ineffective practical application of evaluation and based on the findings, to explore how these factors can be redeemed to improve the benefit evaluation process.
A case study research was conducted to explore how benefits can be evaluated appropriately within its context in a tertiary educational institution. The case study research approach enabled the researcher to gain a complete and in-depth understanding of the process and activities involved to identify and measure benefits at the justification stage. Business middle managers that are involved and responsible for IT project justification were approached from various business units as case study participants. Interview questions addressed various aspects of the benefits evaluation process in reference to participants' experience and past IT project justifications. Content analysis was used to identify frequencies and intensities with which themes and concepts appear in interviewee responses. In addition, a cause and effect relationship tool was used to summarize the research findings for better data analysis and interpretation.
The findings indicate factors that contributed to ineffective benefit evaluation in the organization. Close collaboration and partnership between business management and IT professionals is shown to be a crucial component of the justification process. The suggested role of IT management exceeds beyond the task of technical advisor and involves the task of being a coach, informer, educator, assessor, transparency and communication agent. The results also show how best the measurement process can be performed at this stage. This study confirms that business management's clear understanding of IT benefit concepts is necessary in the evaluation process. Based on the findings, an IT benefit evaluation method is developed as a modification of the current justification process in the organisation. The results presented in this study lay plausible insights for additional approaches to IT benefit evaluation research. It compels researchers to consider new methodologies in the quest for improving benefit evaluation.

Title: UGLYDOLL Centerpiece Rocks!
Date: Jan 24, 2012
This centerpiece really did the job of setting the scene for the party table. Not only was it a good size/scale compared to the food and drink but there was the added bonus of all the UGLYDOLL cardboard characters to scatter around. Being larger than confetti and durable they lent themselves to kids making scenes and playing with them, along with the speech balloons giving them starter ideas. We're definitely keeping these little guys for my son to play with and storing the UGLYDOLL centerpiece and stand-up characters in our party box. This, along with the swirly UGLYDOLL foil drops and the poster sized wall hangings were our favorite pieces from the theme and best value for money too.

The Mormons can run all the commercials they want and trot out all their propaganda people to give interviews, but that still does not make them Christians. The basic tenets of their organization — the belief that Jesus is not the only son of God, that there are multiple gods, and that any male member of their church can become an equal god — are non-Christian. In fact, for decades the Mormons distanced themselves from Christianity so why the sudden shift in emphasis?

|Figure 1. Carrot weevil adult.
|Figure 2. Overwintering parsley field with few surviving plants, as typical in early April.
Parsley growers in the Great Lakes Region of the United States and Canada face yield reduction in parsley from carrot weevil infestations. Carrot weevil larvae feed in parsley roots, which kills plants and lowers the yield and market quality of the harvested leaves and petioles. According to growers in Ohio, most of the damage is seen at the second cutting of parsley, but the only way to control weevils is to spray insecticide against adults many weeks before damage is noticeable. Questions that growers must consider include whether or not to spray, when is the best time to spray, what action threshold to use, how to monitor the weevil population with accuracy, and what transect or path through the field is the best for sampling the weevil population. The answers to these questions are given in this fact sheet, along with information on carrot weevil biology and seasonal activity. The control decision rules or protocols presented here constitute a valuable tool for parsley growers to keep the carrot weevil population low, by improved timing of pesticide applications, thereby reducing economic losses.
Adult Stage
Carrot weevil adults (Fig. 1) have functional wings but rarely fly. They walk from their overwintering sites to new parsley fields, or to any other host like carrot and celery. The adult weevils overwinter in or near parsley fields, particularly those with parsley left standing during the winter season (Fig. 2). They spend the cold weather under plant residues, or about one inch below the soil surface around parsley plants. If the parsley field is plowed at the end of the crop season, and before the weevils have entered the resting or diapause stage, then the adults may be forced to walk away to overwinter in hedgerows or other sites nearby. They hide under plant debris, sod, or wood pieces.
In early spring, the surviving overwintering parsley plants resume vegetative growth at the same time that the overwintering adult weevils become active and seek host plants on which to feed and reproduce. If the overwintering parsley field can provide food and places to lay eggs in early spring, then the adult weevils do not need to walk away; if the overwintering parsley does not provide food, or if it is plowed in spring, then the weevils have to move away and any parsley field planted nearby can become infested.
Adult weevils are active in new parsley fields from approximately mid-May until the end of June, but the most activity occurs from late May until mid-June. At the end of August, a new population of adult weevils is present in the field, but the majority of this weevil population does not cause damage to the current year's crop. These weevil adults overwinter and reproduce in the following crop season (Fig. 3).
|Figure 3. Seasonal activity for three different carrot weevil stages: average number of adults per 3 meters of row, average number of eggs per plant, and average number of larvae per root.
|Figure 4. Parsley plant at the four true-leaf stage, showing the fourth leaf fully expanded. Carrot weevils seldom lay eggs in smaller plants.
|Figure 5. Carrot weevil oviposition scar in a parsley petiole.
|Figure 6. Carrot weevil eggs.
|Figure 7. Parsley root showing severe internal damage caused by the carrot weevil larva.
|Figure 8. Parsley plants dead and damaged due to feeding by carrot weevil larvae.
Egg Stage
Adult weevils begin laying eggs when parsley plants have an average of four true leaves (Fig. 4). Weevil females make punctures in the plant petioles and deposit an average of three eggs inside. They then cover the oviposition scars with a dark tar-like substance. The oviposition scar looks like a round dark spot, approximately 1 mm (1/25 inch) in diameter (Fig. 5). The scar can be present anywhere in the petiole, but is most often in the concave side. The eggs are white or yellow during the first day, then gradually darken to black when the larvae are ready to hatch, which is about five days after the eggs are laid (Fig. 6). The oviposition period occurs from mid-May until the end of June, with the highest numbers of eggs per plant occurring in June (Fig. 3).
|Figure 9. Carrot weevil larva.
Pupal Stage
Fully grown larvae stop feeding and leave the root to pupate in the surrounding soil. The larva makes an earthen cell in which to pupate (Fig. 10). Once the pupal cell is made, the larva enters the prepupal stage and transforms to a pupa in two to seven days. During the pupal stage (Fig. 11), the larva changes dramatically and transforms to an adult in about three to 14 days. Weevils remain inside the pupal cell for about one to five days before emerging from the soil surface.
|Figure 10. Carrot weevil pupa inside an earthen cell.
Leaving the overwintering parsley fields as a trap crop without spraying could be a good cultural practice to keep adult weevils away from new parsley fields. If the parsley trap crop is disked and plowed down immediately after the first cutting, few weevil larvae would survive.
Biological control by application of entomopathogenic nematodes is an option that shows promise for the future. This might prove to be a good biological control practice in overwintering fields if nematodes are sprayed before the adult weevils become active. Further research is needed before this option can be recommended.
At present, chemical control in early summer is the most reliable way to control carrot weevil on parsley. Adults that survive the summer could be sprayed with insecticide at the end of the crop season in autumn, but if some of the weevils had already taken refuge for the winter under plant residues or below the soil surface, they might escape the control treatment. Growers can more reliably spray insecticide and kill these weevils in May when all of the adults have become active. Research has shown that a single well-timed application provides good control. Details about deciding when to spray insecticide are given here.
|Figure 11. Carrot weevil pupa.
Loss from carrot weevil infestations can be predicted from the relationship between the percentage of parsley plants infested with carrot weevil and parsley yield. Taking into account the predicted loss, the average cost of control, and the average market value of parsley provided by parsley growers, more than 1% of plants infested with carrot weevil oviposition scars would produce enough damage to justify the cost of control by insecticide. The action threshold therefore is 1% of plants infested.
Carrot weevil infestations can be detected by examining plants for oviposition scars, which is easier than sampling for adults. To check a suspected oviposition scar, rub off the dark spot and check for a puncture beneath. If a puncture is found, a weevil has deposited eggs in it.
Sampling should start when parsley plants have four true leaves (Fig. 4), or about mid-May for the earliest plantings. If sampling results in the decision to not treat, then the field should be sampled again the following week.
The action threshold is one plant infested out of 100 plants. Because this action threshold is so low, a grower should be able to inspect many plants without finding oviposition scars if treatment is not necessary. Based on statistical formulae, if 148 plants can be inspected without finding any oviposition scars, then there is a 95% chance that the percentage of infested plants is less than 2%, and no treatment is needed. A maximum sample size of 148 plants is thus recommended. One person can sample 148 parsley plants in a commercial field in one hour; each plant takes very little time. If an infested plant is found before all 148 plants are examined, then the chance that the field is above the action threshold is high enough that the grower can stop sampling and decide to treat.
|Figure 12. An X-shaped transect is the best pathway to sample parsley fields for carrot weevil oviposition scars.
We compared some of the paths a grower could take through parsley fields to determine which would give the most accurate sample with the least walking. An X-shaped path that goes from corner to corner, in any direction was found to be the best (Fig. 12). Of several walking patterns tested, this X-shaped path led to the most correct decisions and the fewest incorrect decisions regarding the need for treatment. The starting point can be any corner. Each of the two diagonal paths must be divided into approximately 10 sections. Seven plants per section must be sampled along the first diagonal, and eight plants per section must be sampled along the second diagonal. Within each section, plants should be randomly selected.
Sampling in new parsley plantings should begin as soon as plants reach the four true-leaf stage. One person can sample 148 parsley plants in a commercial field in one hour; each plant takes very little time. If parsley growers sample their fields following the rules provided here, then they should be able to time their insecticide sprays carefully to avoid economic loss, either from spraying too soon or too late, too much or not enough.

For reasons of clear data collection, only harm involving a road vehicle is included. A person tripping with fatal consequences on a public road is not included as a road-traffic fatality. To be counted a pedestrian fatality, the victim must be struck by a road vehicle.

This paper provides a pragmatic argument on how best interaction designers and researchers can influence and perhaps even guide the interaction design process of the ever accelerating digital revolution. This is done through important lessons learnt through the development of a set of design tools for a major consumer manufacturer. Principally, idiosyncratic organisational factors need to taken into account when introducing a new design approach
or methodology.

This residence is perfectly situated at the foot of Telegraph Hill and central North Beach. It is 2 blocks to the heart of North Beach, 'Washington Square', which is Little Italy and showcases the many local shops, restaurants, coffee houses etc. The church that faces Washington Square Park is famous as the site where Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio were married in 1954. It is a short walk to Coit Tower, the Embarcadero along the Bay, the home to the America's Cup staging ground, Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 where you can catch Ferry's to Alcatraz, Sausalito and Angel Island. Also, easy access to local transportation which can take you anywhere in the City in approx. 15 minutes. You can see and also walk within 10 minutes to the 'Crooked Street' which is world famous. China Town is adjacent to Little Italy and therefore also a short walk. No better place to stay in SF and enjoy all it has to offer.
Please see article featuring North Beach published by the San Francisco Chronicle below under 'Other Activities'.
This property is as charming as it gets with only two properties on the alley and given its proximity to everything the area has to offer at your door step, it is a wonderful place to be while seeing all that SF has to offer. There are wonderful views from the kitchen and upstairs living room.
Published by the San Francisco Chronicle:
North Beach is that rare place - a neighborhood that manages to be a perennial hit with tourists, yet remains beloved by San Franciscans. It's best known as San Francisco's Little Italy, with its high density of check-clothed ristorantes, caffes and Old World delicatessens. It's also a popular pilgrimage for fans of the Beat movement seeking the old haunts of Kerouac and Ginsberg. However, North Beach is no relic as it has much to offer beyond pasta and poetry.
This vital neighborhood is home to some of the liveliest nightclubs and bars in town. Small boutiques carrying handmade clothing and imported goods dot the streets, particularly on upper Grant Avenue. Though Italian restaurants appear to dominate the dining scene, there are plenty of other good spots to try once you've had your fill of lasagna, with menus featuring Japanese, French and contemporary fusion cuisine. City Lights, original publisher of Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl,' is still one of the best bookstores in San Francisco, and founder Lawrence Ferlinghetti can sometimes be seen strolling the neighborhood.
Part of the old Barbary Coast, North Beach is steeped in the past - Grant Avenue itself is the oldest street in San Francisco. In the early days, North Point docks served as a gateway for immigrants from South America, Europe and the Australian penal colonies. It wasn't until the late 1800s that thousands of Italians made the area their stronghold and turned it into the local Latin Quarter. The Italian-American community can also be credited in part with protecting the neighborhood against the fire that swept the city after the 1906 earthquake. According to legend, some enterprising residents cracked open the barrels of red wine in their cellars and saved their houses by draping them with wine-soaked blankets. In more recent history, North Beach has produced some notable people, including baseball's great, Joe DiMaggio, who moved there at the age of one and grew up in a flat at Valparaiso and Taylor. Also, former San Francisco mayor Joseph Alioto was born in North Beach.
Whether prowling for historic landmarks, sampling house-roasted espressos, shopping, clubbing or chowing down, you'll find North Beach has plenty to offer for both a leisurely afternoon visit and a night on the town. Take a detour off the main drag of Columbus and you're likely to run across some unexpected treasure of a shop, restaurant or spectacular view that only this San Francisco gem-of-a-neighborhood could offer.

APS To Provide Solar Awareness And Education For Students
As part of the APS Solar for Schools Program, students at more than 30 K-12 Arizona schools will come back from summer break to find their classrooms powered by solar energy. In addition – and perhaps more importantly – the students will have the opportunity to learn about solar power thanks to educational kiosk displays provided by APS and project partner AlsoEnergy, an industry-leading provider of energy monitoring systems.
Through the Solar for Schools Program, APS designs, builds, owns and maintains a photovoltaic solar system on K-12 schools at no upfront cost to the school district. APS recently contracted with AlsoEnergy to provide energy performance and production monitoring data and education kiosks on the schools.
"The APS-owned portion of the Solar for Schools Program provides an uncanny opportunity for schools – located primarily in rural areas of the state – to take advantage of the sun's power without dipping into their school budget," said Tony Tewelis, APS Director of Technology Solutions. "Adding the educational kiosks has taken this program to another level. The students will learn what solar panels can produce at different times of the day and see how much electricity their school is consuming. We're helping to power classrooms for the future leaders of our communities."
The educational kiosks that APS has selected are AlsoEnergy's PowerLobby displays, customizable kiosks that are placed inside each building to show data such as sun tracking, kilowatt-hours saved and information about how much money the school is saving on its electric bill. Teachers will have access to the data and the ability to create science lessons about how energy is produced and used."Not only is APS producing clean energy for the state through this program, they will provide cutting-edge solar education to students from ages five to 18," said Robert Schaefer, CEO of AlsoEnergy. "The utility also will receive information through our energy management services that can compare operation between sites and detect underperforming components, providing real-time information to help them better serve their customers."

Joel Duane Sease Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Billings on July 1, 2009, before Senior U.S. District Judge Jack D. Shanstrom, JOEL DUANE SEASE, a resident of Billings, pled guilty to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute and distribution of cocaine. Sentencing is set for September 30, 2009. He is currently detained.
In an Offer of Proof filed by the United States, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On April 17, 2008, a controlled drug purchase was set up between an individual and a confidential informant (CI). The controlled purchase was to be for approximately two ounces of powder cocaine for $3,100. When the CI and an undercover officer met with the individual to purchase the cocaine, SEASE was identified as the passenger in the vehicle. During the meeting with the other individual, SEASE got out of the vehicle and went over to the undercover officer's vehicle. SEASE told them that their small purchase of $3,000 was nothing and indicated he was used to dealing in much higher quantities. SEASE was present when the other individual distributed 44.70 grams of cocaine to the undercover officer.
On April 24, 2008, SEASE was present with another individual when he distributed 27.20 grams of cocaine.
On September 11, 2008, another individual advised law enforcement that SEASE was selling cocaine for this individual during the period of the conspiracy. Between December 2007 and April 2008, the individual obtained over five pounds of cocaine and SEASE helped him distribute the cocaine. SEASE also acted as a middle man for him and helped distribute additional cocaine.
SEASE faces possible penalties of a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison and could be sentenced to life, a $4,000,000 fine and at least 8 years supervised release. .
Assistant U.S. Attorney James E. Seykora prosecuted the case for the United States.
The investigation was conducted by the Billings Big Sky Safe Streets Task Force.
A copy of the Offer of Proof can be obtained by contacting Sally Frank at (406) 247-4638.

The following post is long and cathartic for me, but likely boring to you.
In my previous life, before becoming the wife of a Children's Pastor, I spent a lot of time center stage. As a teenager I was very involved in choir and drama... in college I helped lead praise and worship at our church and Campus Christian Fellowship...I've served in churches as the leader of drama teams and vocal teams...basically I felt right at home in the spotlight.
When Jonathan first started working as a Children's Pastor, we knew we wanted to work together as a team. I dove in head first and started teaching preschool classes, organizing Vacation Bible School, learning about crafts (I had touched a glue stick less than 5 times before the age of 25), and generally being the all-around go to gal for anything dealing with preschoolers. That left no time for my previous pursuits on stage. WOW. I have learned so many hard and humbling lessons about myself.
I never realized how much I depended upon the "praises of men" until I stopped holding a microphone and started holding glitter and glue.
Ask anyone on a praise and worship team; after singing on stage, it's not uncommon to hear "Oh, that song was such a blessing!" or "Service was so great today. Praise and worship was so moving!" or even just a simple "Thank you so much. Great job today."
But when you work for 2 hours on a Sunday morning with 25 four year olds, the praises don't flow quite so freely. I'm not really angry or upset about this fact; I have never in my life gushed to a children's worker, "Oh Wow! What a fabulous job you did this morning! You are so talented! Praise God for your gift!" People don't "experience" children's ministry in the same way that the ministry of praise and worship is experienced. I get it.
However...after working with kids for a short time, I was shocked at my own need to be recognized for the job I was doing! After working so hard all week preparing a lesson, arriving at church early to set up my classroom, teaching a rowdy group of preschoolers, I began to get a little upset when there were days I didn't get so much as a "thank you" from anyone. My pride was revealed. "How can they just pick up their kid from my class without so much as a thank you? How can people leave me here with their child for half an hour after service while they chat with their friends? How can these parents never volunteer to help me when they can see that I'm dealing with 30 kids all by myself?"
The extent of my bitterness was revealed when I was asked to sing a special during a Sunday morning service. After I sang, people were lovingly complimentary. People were graciously saying things like "I was so blessed by that song; you are really talented." I accepted their praises with a smile, but inside I was screaming, "WHAT?!? I teach your kids every week for hours upon hours, and I've never gotten so much as a smile from you! All I did was sing a simple little song for three minutes -- working week after week with your kid is immeasurably harder!"
Then, slowly and ever so gently, the Holy Spirit started to reveal my heart to me. On more than one occasion I heard him ask "Why are you teaching this class? Is it for your glory, or for Mine?"
I realized that if I were truly teaching out of love for Jesus, because I desired to teach kids about living for His glory, then I could go my whole life without so much as a "Thank You" and be perfectly content, and even joyful.
Then I begin to wonder why I previously got so much joy out of leading praise and worship. Was it truly just because I loved serving God in that way? Or was it because I loved being recognized for my "gift"? I suppose now I must admit that it was some of both, although I never would have know it if not for my time spent out of the spotlight with preschoolers.
Vacation Bible School is happening at our church right now. There were several roles I could have played. If I had wanted, I probably could have signed up to lead praise and worship time. I decided instead to work in the craft room. God is still teaching me lessons back stage.

Thank you for this...I really can relate...good stuff
WOW!!!...That preaches ALL DAY SISTER...The Holy Spirit does have a way of teaching us!!!
True, so stinking true!
THANK YOU for valuing children and for serving them!
Daja, who totally understands where you're coming from!

You really hit the nail on the head! Big nail too! To God be the glory. I tell myself this all the time.

2002 Ford E-150 XLT Passenger Van Review
Heated Power Capitan's Chair by Flexsteel for Driver. And Heated Capitan's Chair by Flexsteel are fantastically comfortable, even for someone with a real badly injured back. The Power Reclining Bed in the rear is a great place to lie down if the trip gets to be too much. TV, Stereos, DVD Player, Power Cooler/Heater Cup Holder are all nice too.
Passenger Seat is not Powered, RF Converter for Stereo TV etc. to play over speakers is a cheap route to go. Very bad blind spot big enough to lose a full size vehicle even with slightly oversized mirror. Fender Flare and Step-side being all one piece of fiberglass is a bad idea, one crack and the fix is a freight shipped part that runs $3000+
Couldn't Do Without It! — Overall I have to state this is a very good riding vehicle with an impressive conversion done by Regency. Seats are very comfortable and the wood trim interior is beautiful. The interior lighting once you figure out the combination of switches that must be turned on is a wonderful touch. Large windows, shades for the large windows are fantastic. Better gas mileage w/5.4L (14 mpg) than my previous 1995 E150 Conversion 5.4L (10 mph) and the bench seat in the rear converts to a fairly comfortable bed with a push of a button. All combine to make a very solid, nice, good looking ride.

2002 Ford E-150 Cargo Van Review
It's been a fairly reliable workhorse
Like all Ford vans it's a gas pig
Review — This van has been a fairly reliable work vehicle. I am a cabling contractor and we traded in our Chevy Astro's for 2 of these units in 2002. We purchased the 3 year extended bumper to bumper warranty with these vehicles. The paint on the bumpers on both Vans began to peel shortly after we bought them and within a year or 2 of purchase it was almost completely gone... FYI; the bumpers are not covered under the bumper to bumper warranty. I had to replace the fuel pump about 3 months ago and the usual brakes and so forth but other than that I've got around 110,000 thousand miles on mine and it's been pretty reliable.

Alan Webber is one of the legends in the world of progressive business.
After achieving what for many would be the pinnacle of success as Managing Editor for the Harvard Business Review, Webber took the unprecedented risk of starting an unknown magazine for an untested market: Fast Company. The innovative Webber, co-founder Bill Taylor and their out-of-the-box Fast Company team would change the way we view business. They wrote about finding meaning in your work and deeper purpose to your profits.
In a fascinating interview with Good-b's Monika Mitchell, entrepreneur and thought leader Alan Webber discusses how he and FC created a world-class magazine that changed the conversation at the height of the dot-com boom. He speaks candidly on how to work for more than money, his thoughts on Wall Street finance and the urgent need for trust and transparency in business.

Nine Minnesota State Mankato students walked the 88 miles from Mankato to the state Capitol in St. Paul to highlight the need for state funding for higher education.
The students started their trek Monday and arrived Thursday. They avoided Tuesday night's nasty weather, were stopped by police in Lakeville (who were following up on a report of suspicious activity) and saw "some random guy" walking out of the woods.
"From our point of view, it's important to invest in higher education because we are the future," said Moriah Miles, a junior studying pre-law and international relations. "We're the work force of tomorrow. We're going to make this economy."
Gov. Mark Dayton and several DFL lawmakers were on hand to greet the students after they climbed the Capitol steps.
"I will do everything I can to protect the funding for Minnesota State Mankato and other higher education institutions," Dayton told the students.
Sen. Kathy Sheran, DFL-Mankato, and Rep. Kathy Brynaert, DFL-Mankato, also welcomed the students.
It's still unknown what the fate of higher education funding or most other budget matters will be.

More in Decorating
The process of gold leafing a wooden picture frame begins with a coat of shellac to seal the wood. Then many coats of gesso, usually about 12, are applied with a soft bristle brush. Each coat must be allowed to dry overnight and must be smoothed with fine sandpaper before the next coat is applied.
After all the coats of gesso have been applied, several coats of pigmented clays, called boles, are applied to the surface. The layers of clay provide additional cushioning for the gold leaf, and the pigment adds luster to the finished piece. Boles come in different colors, including black, yellow and red. The luster provided by a black bole base is popular in the United States, whereas yellow topped by red is more common in Europe. Rabbit-skin glue is added to the dry clay pigment to create a solution that is brushed on the piece in layers. The piece receives five or six coats of bole, and each must be allowed to dry overnight.
After the last coat of bole has dried, the piece is smoothed to a silky finish with 0000 steel wool. A gilding liqueur of denatured alcohol and distilled water is brushed on the frame, and a sheet of 24-karat gold leaf is carefully set on the piece. The gold leaf is gently dabbed in place with a soft-bristle brush and allowed to dry. After drying overnight, the gold leaf surface is reduced with an agate-tip burnisher.

- Tavor SAR copyThe Tavor SAR from IWI US utilizes AR-type magazines, the bolt holds open on the last round, and it can easily be converted for left-handed operation.
- Using the magnifyer copy
FN introduced the 5.56mm FS2000, a semi-automatic version of the F2000, in 2006. Utilizing AR-type magazines, it is ambidextrous and can be configured with a rail or optics. The CQB model is set up nicely for the police market with a top rail, ambidextrous controls and a tri-rail forend. Its forward ejection is a favorite for many, making shooting from the off side easier. It is decidedly popular among those using bullpup rifles today, and it has developed quite the following.
Another 5.56mm bullpup worth considering is the Tavor SAR, which IWI US recently introduced for American operators. It features a top Picatinny rail, integrated iron sights, left-hand capability and drop-free magazines. It retains, however, the off-hand drawback of some bullpups, sending brass into your cheek if you are not careful. But the SAR also accepts AR-type magazines, letting operators use what's in their existing inventory.
Also, there is the classic Steyr AUG. This iconic bullpup offers extreme performance in a compact package. Although the standard model feeds from proprietary mags that drop free, it does feature convertible operation for southpaw use.
In the end, weapon systems like these have provided LE officers tremendous advantages for urban and CQB use.
Many Pros, Few Cons
One of the greatest advantages of a bullpup rifle is its shorter overall length while maintaining a standard-sized barrel. Short-barreled 5.56mm ARs are popular, but they can sometimes be problematic. They can be unreliable, loud and difficult to suppress. A bullpup with a 16-inch barrel is roughly the same overall length (or less) as a 10-inch-barreled AR minus the potential functioning issues. With the bullpup's full-length barrel, terminal ballistics are better and operation is more reliable, even when users attach sound suppressors to the muzzle.
Working in and out of cars, around barricades, and in any CQB environment is much easier with a bullpup. It's much easier to clear around corners, stay behind cover and work in close proximity to team members. Bullpups allow you to "slice the pie" without a protruding barrel, keeping the rifle solidly in the pocket. They balance differently, which usually helps you aim faster and remain in that position with less fatigue. Going "hands on," you can move the rifle to the rear without having anything hanging down around your knees. Slung tightly against your back or chest, a bullpup will remain out of the way for climbing. Moving to kneeling or prone is simpler, too, with less chance of burying your barrel in the dirt.
The bullpup design also means you're closer to the controls. These guns work better for me, whether I'm wearing a plate carrier or not, given my short arms. Storing bullpups in a bag or vehicle requires less space, allowing you to use non-tactical bags for greater concealment.
