A Dream come true?
02:39pm 24/01/2007
Stupid Girl - Pink
Oh. I just woke up. Yay. I had a dream about him last night. He was wearing a plaid like shirt....the base of the shirt was a creamish color and it had plaid in a light red, a dark red, and a light brown color...it was short sleeved. It was our first time seeing each other and we kind of just stood there and looked at each other and smiled for awhile. Then he walked over to me and said I got this for you. And he handed it to me. I unwrapped it and was like...what is it? It looked like this huge lollipop type thing that I got in Italy once. It was crystal clear candy in the shape of a bell and it looked like it had something in the middle of it. I was like....um? He said you have to get thru the candy to get to the center and find out what it is. I asked him what it was and he said it was a ring. I was like oh. Then I hugged him and we stayed that for a loooooooong time. He smelt intoxicating. Just really awesome. I didn't eat the candy but I melted it down in some boiling water...the ring was BEAUTIFUL! It was white gold and a princess cut ring. I don't really know what it is supposed to signify or anything....but I'll look it up later. God. I woke up in a GREAT mood.
PLUS!!! It SNOWED LAST NIGHT!!!! It has melted away now though. Aww. I have so much stuff to do today...and I really don't feel like doing anything at all. I mean...I'll do the stuff in the house that I need to do...but I really don't want to go outside of the house. It is freaking freezing out there. I just don't feel like taking a shower I guess. Haha. I'm thinking today I will:
-make a cup of tea - done.
-have some toast with strawberry jam on it - done.
-hopefully speak to him today :) - done!!!!!! :)
-start reading a new book - done.
-do my ironing
-play a little animal crossing - done.
-clean my room up a little bit
-call my brother - done.
-look for new job on job center website!! - done.
Ok. I'll come back later and tick off the ones that I actually do. Hah. This ought to be interesting....and add other stuff that I've done if I end up doing anymore.
Oh!! I just remembered that I dreamed that we had tons and tons of cereal in the cupboard downstairs as well. Like...many different kinds....kinds that I haven't seen in years. I don't know why I dreamed of that...but it was weird. I checked when I went downstairs, but we don't have any new cereals. Darn. I was really looking forward to eating some different cereal.
03:51am 24/01/2007
So I've decided to write down the books that I've read this year....hopefully I'll keep this up. I've always wanted to know just how many books I read in a year....maybe this will be the year to find out! Who knows??
1. Tick Tock - Dean Koontz
2. Twenty Something. The Quarter-Life Crisis of Jack Lancaster - Iain Hollingshead

- Take better care of myself
- Write down every book that I read
- Try to be nicer to my family even when I don't want to!!
- Take out more time to do things that I enjoy
Ok. That's all I can think of right now. I might update later!!!! Peace!

Olive - You're Not Alone
So...I've noticed that I come here when I'm mad to write out my feelings. I read the stuff that I wrote back to myself...and burst out laughing. Haha. I'm so funny when I'm angry!! The truth is...I would never say such hurtful stuff to people in "real" life....so that's pretty much why I write it out. Hoping that the person that I write about and am angry at will never find this. My god...that would suck if someone actually found this and saw me writing shit about them. Haha.
Right now I'm just finishing my make-up off and then I'm gonna go to Argo's to *hopefully* pick up my nintendo ds and get animal crossing. I hope they have the ds in stock!! That would totally suck if they don't. I've been wanting this thing for over a year and I finally get the money for it...and I can't find it ANYWHERE! Argh. That really ticks me off.
Oh. Last night I got mega fucked up. Haha. I remembered that I had a beer from last week that I bought....and when I went walking around yesterday I stopped at a shop and got another can of beer. So...I had 2 pints, 2 joints, a bottle of wine....and countless amounts of cigarettes. Heh. So it was a fun night. I talked to my brother, my friend Dancy....and Caine. *sigh* I like him a lot. I wonder if it really will be a "story book ending" as Nichole keeps calling it?? Only one way to find out really. I can't believe he is coming all the way here to see ME! YAY! I wonder if he is any good in the sack? He's gotta be better than that guy from last week..hahahhahaha.
Anyways. Gotta go. Peace!

Fuckin new year.

pissed off
Man. I was having such a great start to the new year today. Everything was hunky dory...even if I had to come home in the clothes I was wearing from last night. Nothing could burst my bubble today. Yeah. If only that shit was true.
As soon as I got in...my mom started digging in on me. What the fuck?! She hasn't left her bed for the past 4 days and she goes off on me because I didn't do this...or I didn't do that. Fuck off! I just got home. I want to shower and go do something that will start my year off right!! No. We get into this huge fuckin arguement about how I supposedly don't do shit around the house. Which is complete and utter bullshit. I do fuckin EVERYTHING in this house! I can't stand living here anymore. I want to get out of here so so so so so bad!!! I really wish I lived on my own. Once you have been out on your own and you move back with family members...it fuckin sucks. Not only do I live with my mom...but my fuckin nan as well! They both drive me up the fuckin wall. I can't do ANYTHING right!! I just spent 2 hours in the kitchen going through everything and throwing shit away and organizing everything. My mom doesn't even come in and talk to me...she showers (first time in 4 days! the dirty whore!) and leaves. Well thank god for that. I don't know how much longer I can deal with this shit. She keeps saying I need to go find a job. I FUCKING HAVE A JOB!!!! It is a brand new company that starts this week. I don't see how she doesn't understand this?! How does she not?! I'm so glad that I have 2 bottles of wine saved up. I am so getting drunk tonight on those. Plus...I think I might have a joint or two laying around here somewhere. I can not wait until it is night fall and she is in her bed (AGAIN!!!!) and my nan is in bed. Then I will get to shut my door and block them from my mind at least for a few hours. I can't wait. Fuckin bitch ruining my new year. Dumb whore.
03:01am 29/12/2006
Ok. So I had this dream.
It was this sort of talent contest for 3 different groups. For some reason mine was being run by my 8th grade teacher Mrs. Hardy. Now the people in each group had to wear a certain type of outfit designed by the teacher and carry a certain type of pillow looking purse thing. The dress that I had to wear was white and had a slit down the right side that came half way up my thigh. Then we had to wear dark gray tights and black mary jane looking shoes. We also wore long white gloves. My hair was really long and I wore it up...kind of like a pony tail. I remember I got there early...and there were this sort of stall things that had like a shower, bench, and a sink, table, and mirror with lights in it...although they were really small. I took a shower and got ready and all that. While I was in there I saw my friend Nate and then my friend Jason from college. There was also a gym where all of these stalls were. The 2 guys were going there to work out before the talent show started. After I was done getting ready I went and waited in line....there was a huge, long one to get my ticket. You can only be admitted if you had tickets and it kind of looked like a security check point because it was behind a chain link fence and some people were trying to get it. I got in....took a seat in my section, I remember the chair being kind of like a bar chair because I couldn't reach the ground and my legs kept swinging back and forth.
Then...all of a sudden it was the next day. Don't remember any of the talent stuff at all. I remember I was laying down on my stomach in front of the tv and it said that at the talent thing the night before that my friend Nate and my friend Jason had been murdered. And not only them....but tons and tons of people that were there. Apparently some of the people that couldn't get in had gunned the place down....killing whoever they saw. I cried and cried. Then....I wake up and it is the morning of the talent show again. It was very surreal. I went about and everyone did and said the same thing. For some reason I was late doing stuff that day. My ex...don't know why the hell he was in there...picked me up and decided he wanted to talk or something and go for a drive. I remember getting out of the car and him chasing me....but it was on this dirt road sort of thing. Then there was this group of black guys and they started chucking rocks at our heads and his car. I kept running because I had to warn people of what was about to happen. So I ran into the stall place....and cleaned up as fast as I could. I remember I had to use a girl from another group's mirror. They were wearing red. I had to use the mirror in order to put my mascara on. In my dream I had the LONGEST ever lashes. It was great. Just as I was almost done with my mascara...I still had to do the left bottom lashes. A hand grabs me and accuses me of murder. Apparenty one of the black kids died or something and my ex. And I got blamed for it. Don't know why. So I had to go wait and I was crying because I didn't want to go to jail or anything. OH yeah. When I was getting ready I saw Nate and Jason and told them to hurry up and get ready because they wouldn't seat you if you were late....which I said late was past the time of the the gunning down. I remember I had to get up in front of everyone and they found out I wasn't guilty or something. So I rushed back and finished my mascara then sat on a bench in front of the building waiting for my class to show up. I remember we won the pillow/bag contest.....but then I woke up.
I wonder if I saved anyone from death. I can't believe I remembered that much.
Where ever you are I'm all alone, and it's you that I want

Promiscuous Girl - Nelly Furtado
Man. What the fuck.
Everytime I do something that I enjoy...I get shit for it. I can not wait to get out of this fucking hell hole! All I did last night was call an old friend and congratulate her on having her first child. My mom gets pissed because I was on the phone to her. I was already feeling depressed anyways. And now my mom is being a mega bitch. (surprise, surprise) I just can't do anything right. I get a job...thought she *might* be happy about that....hell no she's not. I don't know what else to fucking do to make things "right" in her eyes. It is impossible to live up to these non existent standards that I don't know the limits or boundaries to. I'm SICK OF IT! She wanted me to go shopping with her today....and she left without me....and as a side note...clean the fucking house, it's a tip. THANKS BITCH! I don't even use any of the other rooms in this house. I stay in my room because I can't stand to be near anyone else in this house. And I'm the one that always has to clean this shit hole. I can not wait to get my own fucking place!!!!
Anyways. As I was talking to my friend Carmen last night....she said she was planning her wedding. I asked her all what she wanted to do and all that and she said she wasn't really sure. I asked her the colors and the flower selection that she wanted and if she wanted it to be formal or informal. After I thought for a moment, since I know her well...I told her what I imagined her wedding to be like...and she said that it was exactly what she wanted. Which was odd because I had recently said this to another friend. Then Carmen said that I should plan weddings or something because I "obviously" have a knack for it or something. Which I thought was pretty cool...until she said "Those who can't plan" just like from that movie The Wedding Planner. Which kinda brought the mood down to here_. I was like wow. Thanx! I feel SOOOO good now. I don't know if she meant it as a compliment or what.....but I felt like shit after that. I got off the phone fast and had a few slugs of vodka. Which didn't really help...but I did have a good cry. That felt pretty good. Crying seems to make things better with me....I don't know how...but it does.
I don't know what it is...but when a family member of mine that I am currently living with talks...I kind of have this buzzing sound in my head while they're talking....maybe it's a bullshit censor or something. Haha. I'm so funny.
Woo! A job!
10:34pm 16/12/2006
I FINALLY got a job!!! Wooohooo! I started last week...and just found out that we aren't going to be actually starting until after the new year...which sucks. I really wanted to start work now so that I could get out of this house every single day! Fuck.
Also. There is this guy that waaaaaaaaay back in the day I used to have a crush on....and now he likes me again. He is actually going to consider moving here to be with me. WHAT?! How crazy is that shit? I haven't even seen him in like 4 years. He found me on myspace and we've been writing these kind of "love" letters back and forth. He is coming here in Feb to see me!! I'm excited. Maybe a little too much? I dunno. I wonder how this will end? Hopefully....very very GOOD. Heh.
I'm smoking cigs in my room. I feel guilty for that. But not guilty enough to stop. :)
That's all for now. *muaw*
Fuck the world.
06:38pm 14/11/2006
Fuck this life. Fuck this world. I fucking hate everything right now.
My mom just yelled at me because I don't have a job yet. Fuckin bitch. She thinks I'm not trying to find a job...I applied for 8 different jobs last week and I didn't hear anything back. What the fuck am I supposed to do about that? Take someone hostage just to get a job or what? ARGH! I just feel like screaming at the top of my lungs.
The truth is I'm fucking depressed. I can't get out of bed to face this world. Nothing good ever happens to me. EVER. Fuck this.

I Write Sins not Tragedies - Panic! At the Disco
You know there is stuff that you just shouldn't think about and you just hate yourself when you start to think about it? Well...lately I've started doing that and I hate myself for it! Like thinking about my scumball ex....I mean...ewww. I don't even like him...don't care to ever think about him again...but then there were times when I was with him and you just can't help but remember and smile...and it makes me feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it. Ick.
Also I think about all of my so-called "great friends" who don't even bother to call me or even send me an email or even attempt to keep in contact with me. And it pisses me off!!! I mean....I'd expect that from aquaintances but not my best friend. Ever since I've moved here which has almost been 8 months now....guess how many times she has called me? 2 times. TWO FUCKING TIMES!!!! And the only reason she called is because she was sad or something wasn't going perfectly in her world. How can I still call her my best friend if she doesn't even ATTEMPT to keep in contact. I have to call her and when I do call her her stupid ass bf is in the background talking the whole time and I can't get a word in edge-wise. She pays more attention to whoever is in the room with her than she does to me when I'm on the phone from halfway across the world!!! It pisses me the fuck off. Argh. I just wish that I could have things back to how they used to be. I wish I was an ignorant little child again...then I wouldn't be half as sad as I usually am. The only person that actually keeps in contact with me is my friend Justin...which I'm grateful for. I really do care about Justin....I always have....ever since I layed my eyes on him. I miss him SO much! He could always make me feel better about myself no matter what I was feeling. He would tell me I was beautiful when I was wearing my trashy but comfy pjs, haven't taken a shower and my hair is everywhere and there wasn't a stitch of make-up on my face. We would always have a laugh no matter what we were doing. God...I miss him. Anyways I can't do this for much longer otherwise I'll start crying or some shit and I don't have anything to help numb the pain. I just need to get good and fucked up....drunk...high...whatever....both would be awesome! I'll go and see if I can't rustle up some kind of alcohol downstairs....I'll have to wait till later tonight though when everyone else in the house is asleep...that might be awhile though. Grrr.

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
I keep meaning to write on this thing...or in my real journal on paper. I've had so much going through my brain lately that I don't know what to think about anymore. It would probably help if I actually had someone to talk to about this...but I don't. Ever since I've moved to England...it kinda sucks. I thought I'd move over here and lead this great incredible life. Yeah. Right. My life just feels so stagnant right now. I'm trying to look for a job but it was hard enough looking for a job in the states...it is EVEN harder looking for a job in an entirely different country and I really don't know how things work here yet. I still can't believe that I'm going to have to rely on public transportation when I do get a job. I'm so used to just jumping into my car and going, I can't do that anymore. I hate living with my nan and my mom. I feel just like a teenager again. It really blows. My mom complains when I drink...yeah...like I've never done that before! I mean...I'm 23 years old for god's sake! She thinks I'm an alcoholic when I get drunk...HELLO!!! This is what people my age do! Duh. I think I'm gonna go to bed now...but I know I'll just lay awake like I usually do until the sun comes up. Blah. The life I lead is dull. dull. dull.

So I just found out that one of my good friends died this Saturday night. I had to find out on myspace of all places in a bulletin. How horrible is that? It still doesn't seem like it's for real but I went and signed his guest book that his family set up online for people to say stuff to him or the family. I hadn't cried till I read what everyone else wrote. I will truely miss him so much. He was always happy when I saw him. I don't think I ever saw him on a bad day at all. He even woke up with a smile on his face, and that's hard to do. Especially after a night of drinking. He could always make me laugh even when I didn't want to. I really wish that I had told him that I've had a crush on him for the past year. Damn. I always thought that I had time to. Fuck. I can't do this right now.
01:02pm 02/09/2005
I am so confused!!! I just got back from London like 3 days ago....& I miss it terribly. The more I stay here the more I hate it here. It was great seeing all of my family & family friends that I haven't seen in 10 years. Every single one of them kept telling me that I should just move over there. I am seriously considering it. There are so many upsides to moving there! There are definetly more job opportunites over there for me. I have family over there that would be there for me whenever no matter what. I think I might have more people that I know over there than I do here. When I was over there I had stuff to do every single day...here I am bored outta my freaking mind! Granted I did get to hang out with Nichole a few times since I've been back but it just isn't the same as it wass in London. I had so so so much fun over there. I can't remember the last time I felt so happy just to be around people that I loved & loved me back in return. America just feels so lonely. In London there are people every where so I never felt lonely at all. I didn't even miss being here. The whole plane ride home I was wishing that our flight would get cancelled & we would have to return to London indefinetly. I hate being here! It doesn't really add to that I don't want to be with Chris anymore either. He wants to get married & start a family ASAP. I don't. I don't feel like being with anyone right now. I feel that I need to be single right now to focus on myself & do what I really want, just for me. I've always been focused on how other people felt...and never about myself. I finally want to do something just for me. I want to be single for awhile & lose this stubborn weight, go back to school, & start my own life before I settle down. I am so not ready for that. I'm only 22. I talked to everyone in London about what I should do & they all agree with me. I'm too young to settle down & I still have tons of time ahead of me to do whatever it is that I feel like doing. I want to travel to various places, but with friends...not a boyfriend. When I was in London I felt so....Free. It was the greatest feeling ever. Then when I came back I feel like I'm trying to keep my head out of the water but someone keeps plunging my head back under the water. I hate that feeling. I even went to the bar, where I normally have tons of fun, but I didn't enjoy myself as much as I enjoyed myself in London. I hate it here in South Carolina!!!!! I know it will be hard to actually move to London, but I feel it's something that I need to do. I want to. SO BAD! I need to talk to my mom later tonight & find out exactly what I need to do in order to move there. I've made up my mind. I want to live in London!!!!
Rock & a hard place!
04:53am 11/07/2005
Have you ever been stuck between a rock and a hard place? Well....if you haven't I really hope that no one ever has to go through it. Right now...I don't know what to do. My friends & family are telling me that they don't like my bf anymore. They don't think that he is good enough for me or that he is too controlling and such. The more they tell me.....the more I see it. Like the comparison that my brother was giving me last night. He told me that for his whole life he pictured me with some one really smart, someone that read as much as I do...and so on and so on. He told me that between Chris & I am way smarter than he will ever be. I never really thought too much about this before. That was before tonight. I was talking to Chris & all he was doing was talking in a fucking baby voice & stuff. I don't find that attractive at all. We just hit our 9 month mark as of the 10th. Every other sentence when I talk to him starts with "When we move to Michigan" & everytime he says this it is like he is taking a dagger and stabbing me straight in the heart. Right now I seriously don't think that I can move there. I mean I know it's not until March of next year....but still. I saw this program earlier today where 2 of the gurls were from Michigan. They both said that in Michigan...all they do there is get married & have babies & live out the rest of their lives. I seriously don't want to do that. I still have a lot more to get accomplished before I start popping out babies. The thing that kills me right now though is....this is the first guy that has ever loved me and this is the first guy that I have ever loved. I'm not ready to settle down. I thought I was...but the more I think about it the more I am against it. My mom offered to me to pay for my ticket to England to come and stay with her for like 2-3 weeks because apparently according to everyone in my life (my brother, my best friend, & my mom) they think that I need a vacation away from Chris. Now that I've been thinking about it for the past 2 nights....and days...I'm seriously considering going over there to see what is going on there. I haven't been there since I was 12 years old. So it's been like almost 11 years since I've been there. So....this week I am going to get my passport. I really think that I am going over there. I do need a vacation away from him. Right now I just see TOO much of him. Every single fucking day I see him. Maybe it was wrong to move in so fast with him. I guess I was just too much in love at the time to see what would be better for the future. I bet if he didn't move into my apartment so fast it wouldn't be like this right now. There is nothing that I can do about it now though. If I miss him for the 2-3 weeks that I'm in England then that means for sure that it can work out. For now though....I just can't stand him. I hate that he gets pissed off at me for every little thing that I do. I mean seriously he should NOT get mad at me for going out with my best friend on the weekends. If he had any trust in me at all he wouldn't get pissed everytime I come home from the bar drunk and such. It's not like I would cheat on him. The more he thinks that I'm going to cheat on him the more I want to! Wow. I so don't believe that I just wrote that. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what to do! I hate being in this position. I don't like hurting people at all. Every time I think of a life with me and him together all I can picture is me cooking day & night, doing the dishes, cleaning the house, & just boring shit for the rest of my life. I never pictured my life like that. He wants me to move to Michigan with him where his mom, dad, 2 sisters, brother, & his grandmother live. Some little secluded town called Mt. Pleasant where the mall is like half an hour away. I'm sorry...but I never ever pictured my life as such. I don't want to move to a place where I can't meet people or where my friends live. Especially any of my family or my best friend Nichole. I know I can't live without her near me. Fuck no! Ok....I'm gonna go have a cigarette now because I am so completly stressed out right now. I hate this!!!!!! I feel like I can't talk to anyone about this though, so I might as well write it all out here since no one I know actually reads this. (I think) I hope he never does. So...if anyone has any kind of advice....I beg for it. Thanx. I'm out.

I just did something that I should not have done. I hacked into my boyfriend's email account and read some of his emails. He has been writing my mom emails & I have been very very curious about what they were emailing about. Well....I just read it and he is going to propose to me by the end of the month!!!!! AAHH!! I'm nervous. Now I know that I am going to be on the edge of my seat all freaking month long wondering when & where he is going to ask me. OH MY GOD!!! I need some wine & cigs stat. So that is what I am going to go do. Walmart. Here I come.
I hate fighting!!!

The hum of this computer. GRRRRR!!!!
Everytime I write on here I always say....wow I haven't written on here in forever. Well....it took me forever just to remember the name of the site! I don't know how it came to me...but thank god it did. I really need to update a whole bunch of stuff on here & try to write everyday. I used to, so it should not be that hard to do. Who knows? *shrugs shoulders*
Anyways. I still don't have a job. It sucks. I hate not having any money. Which means I can't do anything unless someone else is providing the dough for me. I hate not being able to buy the stuff I want. I mean...if I want a pack of gum, I have to ask someone if I can borrow some money to get it. Pathetic. I know. I do go out on some weekends with Nichole & she pays for me to get shitfaced which I totally love her for. The only thing with that is....it's like a double edged sword. I go out with Nichole & have the best time ever...laughing all night....shitfaced...yay! The way I like to be. It's when I get home & Chris is home. Every single time I go to the bar we fight. I don't know why. I mean....he complains that I'm drunk when I get home. DUH!! That's why I went to the bar in the first place. The whole reason to go to the bar is to get drunk. I mean....it used to be to hook up to, but there is no way I'm doing that now. I love Chris way to much to do that. Everytime he gets off from work and I've been to the bar that night....it's like he hates me or something. He makes me cry, he trys to leave....yells at my best friend. He is just a huge prick when I go to the bar. I don't understand why though. I don't go out that often. Maybe every other week...only ONCE a week!!! I never hang out with any of my friends anymore. I hang out with them once a week & he's a complete prick about it. I used to hang out with my friends all the time. Now I'm kind of scared to incase we get in a fight. I HATE FIGHTING!!! Anyways. I felt like venting. Thank you for reading it if anyone did. It's much appreciated. :)
Oh yeah. He asked me to cut back on the drinking. HA! That just makes me want to go get shitfaced even more! He also gives me a curfew. Sorry dude, you are so not my parent. I have my own apartment, I can come home when I fucking feel like it. So...=P.
Peace. I'm out.

I know I haven't written on here in a year I guess. I dunno. I have been sick for like the past two months & it sucks. Right now my bf & my bro are both sick as well. Guys are such babies when they are sick. I mean, yeah, I'll show you a lil bit of sympathy & help you out & stuff. But geez! Rolling around on the ground & saying your gonna die is a bit much don't you think?? Yeah. Exactly.
I just found the best site ever! It is grouphug.us. Everyone should go & check it out. You confess your deepest, darkest secrets and it is all anonoymous. It's fantastic!
I really don't feel like getting a job. Bleh. I mean, I want one....but I want it to be one that I like. The whole searching for a job thing sucks the biggest balls. I don't even know where to begin to look for a job. I wish someone would just call me & offer me a job. That would rock my socks! I did have a job set up for Verizon, but I forgot to put a ticket that I got like 2 yrs ago on my application because I honestly forgot about it. When they did the background check on me it came back & now I have to dispute it or something like that. The thing that sucks is that the training class starts tomorrow. For some reason I think that tomorrow I am going to be really depressed & want to cry all day long. How pathetic is that? Very. Maybe I'll just watch sad movies all day so I can disguise my depression. I kinda want to get wasted too. I'm real smart. Let's go to the store & waste my last few dollars on some alcohol and a pack of cigs....when I'm supposed to be quitting. It sounds like so much fun though. Getting wasted by myself. Woohoo. What fun. Haha. Vices! Damn!

focused and like to learn. Wood, you are a
natural leader, but you also like to control a
lot, you're never still and especially hate to
lose. The color of wood is blue/green and your
symbol is the dragon. Spring is the season in
which wood shines, and it's months are
January/February. Your weather condition is
rain. Wood is the direction east, and your day
is Thursday, while your planet is Jupiter.
Animals under your element are usually scaled.
People under you are the Mongols. Your sense is

Whose Line is it Anyway....on tv
Well...its been forever since I've written anything on here. That's crazy!! I looked back on old journals & I can't believe that I used to write so much on here...I always say I'm going to start doing it again but I don't. Whoops. I should though...that way I can look back & laugh or cry, whichever emotion fits best here.
At work I know almost every program that we have...the only one I don't know is Oxford, which is fine with me! I don't wanna learn it at all. My favorite program has to be...eSecuritel...which is where I file insurance claims for lost, stolen, & damaged phones. I get called "bitch" a lot on there....but I still love that program. My name is on about every single account that we have...hehe. My supervisor wants me to become a supervisor as well....but I think they make less money than me, but I really have no clue. I'm full time at work now too!!! More money for Laura! WOOOHOOOO!!!
I finally have a roomie....I've been looking for one since January because my old roomie moved out one day while I was at work....which left me paying for the empty room. Which sucked big balls! I met my new roomie at....The Icehouse....which is MY bar! How hilarious is that? We get along pretty good....first guy roomie that I've had besides my bro, but he doesn't count. He has his room hooked up, looks like Club Rob up in there....hahaha. There are beer signs & mirrors all on the walls, plus the neon beer signs....and a ball with different colors of lights that spins around....oh yeah, and a candy machine!!
I think I've turned into an alcoholic....I drink pretty much every night at the Icehouse. I LOVE the Icehouse though. It's a place where you go & you usually see people that you haven't seen in forever & it's always a reunion up in there! Plus we pretty much know all of the regulars up there, so that's cool as hell. I got drunk as fuck last night....I drank 2 beers out of the bottle....and shared 4 pitchers w/Nichole but I drink a lot faster than her.....so I was druuuuuuuuuuuuuunk & for only $5.00!!!! Hahahaha. How awesome is that? VERY!
Anyways, I'm starvin like Marvin...and I think I'm going to make some soup so my stomach won't hate me too much....I'm feeling the after effects of all of that beer from last night....which is a daily thing. Laters! *muaw*

Gavin Chilcott completed a Degree in Fine Arts at Elam School of Fine Arts; The University of Auckland in 1970.
Chilcott has been called a New Image painter since his inclusion in Auckland City Art Gallery's New Image exhibition of 1983. As a New Image painter he alludes to and directly transplants from the work of other painters.
Chilcott delights in the theatrical placing organic shapes alongside geometric forms creating ambiguous space. The curtain has become a personal symbol (his parents once ran a drapery shop) and he draws inspiration for his two-dimensional patterns from painted fabric.
Gavin Chilcott's art has been exhibited since the early 1980s. He work has had exhibitions in New Zealand, Australia and the United States. He currently lives in Auckland

Honorable Wayne RoethlerProsecuting AttorneyCowlitz County Court HouseKelso, Washington Cite as: AGO 59-60 No. 29
Attention: Mr. Richard Norman, Deputy
Dear Sir:
This is in answer to your request for the opinion of this office on the following questions:
(1) May an elected sheriff who was defeated for re election be appointed a regular deputy sheriff in another county for the remainder of his unexpired term? If so, may he receive payment as part-time extra help from the appointing county when he is receiving the regular salary as sheriff in his own county?
(2) Must a deputy sheriff, with a regular commission, be a resident of the county in which he holds said commission?
We answer your first question in the negative and your second question in the affirmative.
The office of sheriff is one of the oldest offices known to the common law jurisprudence. A clear statement of the significance of the office of sheriff within [[Orig. Op. Page 2]] the county, both historically and under present statutes, is found in 1 Anderson on Sheriffs, Coroners and Constables, § 6, p. 5, as follows:
". . . In the exercise of executive and administrative functions, in conserving the public peace, in vindicating the law, and in preserving the rights of the government, he (the sheriff) represents the sovereignty of the State and he has no superior in his county. . . ."
In addition, Anderson states as follows:
". . . It is not only the power, but the duty, of sheriffs in their various jurisdictions to preserve the peace, enforce the laws and arrest and commit to jail felons and other infractors of statutory or common law, and to execute all process to him directed and attend upon the trial courts of record and to preserve peace and quiet, to execute and carry out the mandates, orders and directions of the courts.
"He (the sheriff) may and is bound ex officio to pursue and take all traitors, murderers, felons, and other misdoers and commit them to gaol for safe custody. He is also to defend his country against any of its enemies, when they come into the land; and for this purpose, as well as for keeping the peace or pursuing felons, he may command all of the people of his county to attend him; . . . When a situation arises calling therefor it becomes the sheriff's right, and it is his duty, to determine what the public safety and tranquillity demand, and to act accordingly. . . ."
The office of sheriff in this jurisdiction was created by § 5, Article XI, as amended by the Twelfth Amendment, which provides, in part, as follows:
"The legislature, by general and uniform laws, shall provide for the election in the several counties of boards of county commissioners, sheriffs, county clerks, treasurers, prosecuting attorneys and other county, township or precinct and district officers, as public convenience may require, and shall prescribe their duties, and fix their terms of office: . . ."
RCW 36.28.010 prescribes the general duties of the sheriff as follows:
"The sheriff is thechief executive officer and conservator of the peace of the county. In the execution of his office, he and his deputies:
[[Orig. Op. Page 3]]
"(1) Shall arrest and commit to prison all persons who break the peace, or attempt to break it, and all persons guilty of public offenses;
"(2) Shall defend the county against those who, by riot or otherwise, endanger the public peace or safety;
"(3) Shall execute the process and orders of the courts of justice or judicial officers, when delivered for that purpose, according to law;
"(4) Shall execute all warrants delivered for that purpose by other public officers, according to the provisions of particular statutes;
"(5) Shall attend the sessions of the courts of record held within the county, and obey their lawful orders or directions;
"(6) Shall make complaint of all violations of the criminal law which shall come to their knowledge within their jurisdiction;
"(7) May call to their aid such persons or power of their county as they deem necessary to keep and preserve the peace of the county and quiet and suppress all affrays, riots, unlawful assemblies, and insurrections, and to apprehend or secure any person for felony or breach of the peace.
"The county is not responsible for the acts of the sheriff." (Emphasis supplied.)
In addition, RCW 36.16.030 requires that certain enumerated county officers, including the sheriff, be elected from among the qualified voters of the county.
RCW 36.16.070 provides for the appointment of deputies as follows:
"In all cases where the duties of any county office are greater than can be performed by the person elected to fill it, the officer may employ deputies and other necessary employees with the consent of the board of county commissioners. The board shall fix their compensation and shall require what deputies shall give bond and the amount of bond required from each. The sureties on deputies' bonds must be approved by the board and the premium therefor is a county expense.
[[Orig. Op. Page 4]]
"A deputy may perform any act which his principal is authorized to perform. The officer appointing a deputy or other employee shall be responsible for the acts of his appointees upon his official bond and may revoke each appointment at pleasure."
RCW 36.28.020 sets forth the powers of deputies as follows:
"Every deputy sheriff shall possess all the power, and may perform any of the duties, prescribed by law to be performed by the sheriff, and shall serve or execute, according to law, all process, writs, precepts, and orders, issued by lawful authority.
"Persons may also be deputed by the sheriff in writing to do particular acts; including the service of process in civil or criminal cases, and the sheriff shall be responsible on his official bond for their default or misconduct."
Thus, it is clear from the foregoing statutes that a deputy sheriff possesses all the powers and duties of the sheriff and is authorized to act in his name and stead.
In the recent case ofState ex rel. Day v. King County, 50 Wn. (2d) 427, 312 P. (2d) 637, the court reaffirmed the case of Carter v. King County, 120 Wash. 536, 208 Pac. 5, which held that a deputy sheriff is not a servant of the county but a public officer. 47 Am. Jur., § 154, page 930. The general rule is stated in 1 Anderson on Sheriffs, Coroners and Constables, § 78, as follows:
"In the eyes of the law the sheriff or constable and his deputy are one officer. . . . A deputy is usually defined as one who, by appointment, exercises an office in another's right. . . ."
This office has ruled consistently in the past that one person can hold two offices and receive compensation for each where the offices are not incompatible. See our opinions of March 1, 1941, and July 3, 1941, to the division of municipal corporations. To the same general effect, see the opinion of November 19, 1943, to the director of health and one dated February 8, 1945, to State Senator Alfred J. Hansen. Accordingly, the question which must be resolved is whether the two offices in question are incompatible. In an opinion of this office dated October 19, 1927, to the prosecuting attorney of Island County (No. 1895) [[1927-28 OAG 269]], this office was concerned with whether the offices of court commissioner and deputy sheriff were incompatible and whether compensation could be paid for both offices. In that opinion we state as follows:
[[Orig. Op. Page 5]]
"There being no constitutional or statutory inhibition, the question is whether or not incompatibility at common law exists between these two positions.
"We have uniformly held the rule against the occupancy of incompatible offices to be applicable to deputies as well as principal officers especially where by statute the deputy is vested with all powers and duties devolved upon his superior. Section 4167, Rem. Comp. Stat., provides:
"'Every deputy sheriff shall possess all the power, and may perform any of the duties, prescribed by law to be performed by the sheriff.'
". . .
"Incompatibility between offices depends upon whether one is subordinate to the other and whether the duties of the two are inherently inconsistent with regard to the public interest. State ex rel. Crawford v. Anderson, 136 N.W. 128 (Iowa). It does not depend on physical inability to discharge the duties of both, but on the character and relation of the offices; whether the functions of the two are inherently consistent or repugnant. State ex rel. Young v. Hays, 117 N.W. 615 (Minn.) . . ."
That opinion concluded that the offices in question were incompatible and compensation could not be paid for both offices.
In the absence of any constitutional or other statutory prohibition against the duly elected sheriff of one county holding office as a deputy sheriff of another county, the question remains whether incompatibility exists at common law between the two offices.
The general test of incompatibility is set forth in 42 Am. Jur., Public Officers, § 70, page 936, as follows:
". . . Incompatibility of offices exists where there is a conflict in the duties of the offices, so that the performance of the duties of the one interferes with the performance of the duties of the other. This something more than a physical impossibility to discharge the duties of both offices at the same time. They are generally considered incompatible where such duties and functions are inherently inconsistent and repugnant so that, because of the contrariety and antagonism which would result from the attempt of one person to discharge faithfully, impartially, and efficiently the duties of both offices, [[Orig. Op. Page 6]] considerations of public policy render it improper for an incumbent to retain both. It is not an essential element of incompatibility of offices at common law that the clash of duty should exist in all or in the greater part of the official functions. . . . It is immaterial on the question of incompatibility that the party need not and probably will not undertake to act in both offices at the same time. The admitted necessity of such a course is the strongest proof of the incompatibility of the two offices. . . ."
The rule is stated as follows in the recent case of Kennett v. Levine, 50 Wn. (2d) 212, 216, 310 P. (2d) 244:
"The offices are incompatible when the nature and duties of the offices are such as to render it improper, from consideration of public policy, for one person to retain both. [Citing cases.] Or, as was said inBarkley v. Stockdell (1933), 252 Ky. 1, 66 S.W. (2d) 43:
"'The question [of incompatibility] is . . . whether the functions of the two are inherently inconsistent or repugnant, or whether the occupancy of both offices is detrimental to the public interest.'" (Emphasis supplied.)
In view of the specific enumerated duties set forth in RCW 36.28.010,supra, and the common-law duties which were in existence at the time our constitution was adopted, the sheriff of a county is, for all practical purposes, on duty twenty-four hours a day; he must be available at all times to carry out the duties and functions imposed upon him by virtue of this office. We think it is clear from the foregoing discussion that one individual could not be the elected sheriff of one county and a regularly appointed deputy sheriff in another county and still be available to carry out his duties to each county at one and the same time, and accordingly the occupancy of both offices is detrimental to the public interest.
There is an additional reason, however, why a sheriff cannot be a deputy sheriff in an adjoining county and it involves the consideration of your second question concerning the residence of deputy sheriffs. Although there is no specific provision in chapter 36.28 RCW requiring that deputy sheriffs as well as the sheriff be residents of the county, we think that such is the rule. Some states apparently have statutes which specifically require that a deputy sheriff must be a qualified elector of the county where he is a deputy. It has been held, however, that even in the absence of such a statutory provision, where the law requires the sheriff to be a qualified elector and empowers him to appoint [[Orig. Op. Page 7]] deputies for whose acts he shall be responsible, the deputy must also be a qualified elector. State v. Nichols, 63 So. 1025, 106 Miss. 419; People ex rel. Andrus v. Champlain Auditors, 37 N.Y. Supp. 633, 16 Misc. 92; 80 C.J.S. § 24.
In theAndrus case, supra, the court was concerned with whether or not, in the absence of a specific statutory provision, a person appointed deputy sheriff had to be a resident of the county in which he was appointed. Other pertinent statutes required that sheriffs be residents of the county or city in which their duties were to be performed and authorized the sheriff to appoint such deputies as were required and gave the deputies authority to perform all the duties and functions of the sheriff. All of the New York statutes are in essence the same as the pertinent Washington statutes. The court then quoted from the statute pertaining to vacancies in public offices as follows:
"'Sec. 34. Every office shall become vacant on the happening of either of the following events before the expiration of the term of such office. * * * (4) His ceasing to be an inhabitant of the state, or, if the office be local, of the district, county, town or city for which he shall have been chosen or appointed, or within which the duties of his office are required to be discharged.'" (p. 635)
The court then stated:
". . . It can hardly be argued, I think, with any degree of force, since a sheriff must, of necessity, under the law, be a resident of the county in which he is sheriff, that he may appoint deputies residing in other counties throughout the state, who may exercise all the functions of the sheriff himself, both civil and criminal. This idea is so repugnant to our understanding of the intention of the law to make local officers residents of the locality in which they officiate, that without a special statute giving authority to the sheriff to establish deputies, to discharge his duties, resident all outside of the limits of his county, I think the court must hold that there is no ground, in reason or analogy, upon which to base the suggestion of such absolute and unreasonable power. I find no provision of the statute authorizing or creating any such power in the sheriff, and every statute on the subject is opposed to the idea that any such power exists in the sheriff. . . ." (p. 635)
The pertinent statute in Washington which is comparable to § 34,supra, is RCW 42.12.010, which provides as follows:
"Every office shall become vacant on the happening of either of the following events before the expiration of the term of such officer. . . . fourth, his ceasing to be [[Orig. Op. Page 8]] an inhabitant of the district, county, town or village for which he shall have been elected or appointed, or within which the duties of his office are to be discharged; . . ."
TheAndrus case was subsequently cited in Isereau v. State, 139 N.Y.S. (2d) 739, 743, 207 Misc. 665 (1954), as authority for the proposition that the sheriff is a local officer and the fact that he acts through his deputies is immaterial since of necessity he must act through them and he and they are considered to be one and the same officer.
A contrary result was reached in Rehmel v. Muscatine County, 154 N.W. 596, 172 Iowa 455, L.R.A. 1916 B. 897, but the decision was based upon an unusual factual situation arising out of a two-year strike in Muscatine County. The court upheld the appointment by the sheriff of nonresidents, stating that they had no friends to serve or enemies to punish in the administration of the law and no concern over the outcome of the controversy.
We find the reasoning of the court in the Andrus case more persuasive however and in the absence of any additional authorities to the contrary, we conclude that a deputy sheriff must be a resident of the county in which he is appointed.
Accordingly, the fact that the sheriff may have been on vacation from his own county during the time he served as deputy sheriff in the adjoining county would not change the answer since he could not be a resident of both counties at the same time.
Having thus established that the two offices in question are incompatible, and that the sheriff was ineligible to be appointed as deputy sheriff in another county, such appointment made him at most a de facto officer.
A de facto deputy sheriff is defined in 80 C.J.S., Sheriffs and Constables, § 28, as follows:
"One who is actually acting as a deputy sheriff or constable under color or right is such officer de facto, although the statutory requisites of appointment have not been complied with, as where the appointment is not in writing, or not under seal, filed, or confirmed by the judge of a particular court, or where the appointment contains limitations which are void. Likewise,one acting a deputy is a de facto officer notwithstanding he is ineligible, or has failed to take, or file, the requisite oath, or has failed to give, or sign the necessary bond. . . ." (Emphasis supplied.)
The question then remains as to whether or not the individual in question is entitled to his compensation for his services rendered as a de facto officer. [[Orig. Op. Page 9]] The weight of authority is to the effect that a de facto officer cannot maintain an action to recover the salary, fees or emoluments attached to the office even though he has performed the duties thereof. It is stated in 2 Anderson on Sheriffs, Coroners and Constables, § 724, page 687, as follows:
"Where one holds the office of sheriff or constable when he is ineligible or disqualified so to do, he not only cannot collect compensation or expenses laid out in the discharge of his official duties, either from the public treasury, or from an individual litigant, but he is a trespasser in the execution of process and may, in each case, be sued for, and mulcted in damages by those on, or against whom he executes process. Whenever a public officer proffers against a state, county or city a claim for compensation for official services, he puts his title to the office in issue, and must stand or fall by the result of that inquiry."
See the Annotation in 93 A.L.R. 258; 151 A.L.R. 952, for a general discussion of the right of a de facto officer to salary or other compensation, fees, etc.
The only case in this jurisdiction involving the payment of the salary of a de facto officer isSamuels v. Harrington, 43 Wash. 603, 86 Pac. 1071. The court there held that as a matter of public policy a municipality which pays the salary of a de facto officer will not be liable to the de jure officer for such salary. However, that case is not authority for the proposition that a de facto officer is entitled to the compensation attached to the office.
The Annotation in 151 A.L.R. previously cited, cites the case ofWarnock v. Marysville, 17 Wn. (2d) 515, 136 P. (2d) 188, as authority in this jurisdiction that a de facto officer is not entitled to the compensation attached to the office even though he has performed the duties thereof. However, it appears from the facts of that case that the individual in question was not a de facto officer since he had been discharged by the mayor prior to the time he obtained an injunction restraining the town from interfering with him in the performance of his duties.
Accordingly, it is the opinion of this office that a de facto deputy sheriff is not entitled to receive compensation from the appointing county while he is a duly elected and qualified sheriff of another county.
In view of the fact that we have previously answered your second question, no further discussion appears necessary. However, we wish to call to your attention Initiative 23 providing civil service for sheriffs' deputies and employees, which became effective on December 4, 1958. Section 10 of that act provides as follows:
"An applicant for a position of any kind under civil service, must be a citizen of the United States andan elector of the [[Orig. Op. Page 10]]county in which he resides, who can read and write the English language, and must have been a resident of the state for at least one year." (Emphasis supplied.)
We think it is clear both from the provisions of § 10 and the other provisions found in the initiative that the only residence requirement is that an applicant for any position in the sheriff's office must be a resident of the state and an elector of the county in which he is then residing. Such a requirement is not inconsistent with our previous ruling that the deputy sheriff must be a resident of the county where he is appointed, and so there is no change in the residence qualification.
In answer to your second question, therefore, an applicant for the office of deputy sheriff with a regular commission must be a resident of the county in which he would hold said commission.
Very truly yours,
JOHN J. O'CONNELLAttorney General

Name: Jonathan Lawson
CREST Level: Silver
Year: 2003/4
Project Title: What's in a Drink
Project Mentor / Organisation: Mrs J Morris (Biology), Helsby High School with support & input from Daresbury Laboratories, Cheshire
Jonathan undertook his CREST Silver Award back in 2003/4 at school. Having undertaken a project with friends and learning new skills and meeting real scientists, Jonathan and his team were chosen to attend the CREST Fair at the Royal Society (the forerunner to the National Science + Engineering Competition). His experiences encouraged and informed his choice to go into science and he is now undertaking a PhD in Developmental Biology at Cambridge University and heavily involved in science communication. He tells us a bit about his CREST experience here.
Inspired by this story? Get started on your own CREST Journey! [1]
What was your project about?
We utilised a variety of different tests and experiments to investigate how sensitive different people are to tastes and, more specifically, different tastes. Through this we were able to classify subjects into different 'taster' classes and further investigate their sensitivity to the five basic taste groups.
Who encouraged you to get involved with CREST?
Nearly ten years ago now my friends and I decided to get involved in CREST to challenge ourselves and see what we could learn about the latest scientific research. CREST is a really challenging and exciting experience for anyone with a scientific and inquisitive mind, it is a rare opportunity to push beyond the boundaries of the established curriculum and find the answers to your own questions in a way that encourages independent thought and novel approaches.
What was the best thing about doing a CREST award?
The best thing about the CREST project was being able to develop our own project and then share it with other enthusiastic young scientists. I also really enjoyed the challenge of presenting our work to experienced scientists in a way that showed clear understanding and enthusiasm for the subject.
We presented at Astra Zeneca in Cheshire, also at the North West regional finals of the competition in Manchester and in the National Finals of the competition at the Royal Society in London.
How do you think you benefited from your CREST Award experience?
CREST helps you develop new skills like experimental design and teamwork. We took this further and also used it to develop skills in data presentation and web design. It was a great opportunity to meet some fantastic experimentalists and gave us some very inspirational memories and experiences that helped to guide and form my future opinions and goals as a scientist.
CREST definitely inspired me to work harder in STEM subjects and to aim high in further education and career development.
What are your hopes for the future?
I am finishing the first year of a PhD in developmental biology funded by the Wellcome Trust at the University of Cambridge. I currently hold BA, MSci and MPhil degrees also from the same University.
My plan for the future is to become fully involved in science events planning, writing and broadcasting doing as much as possible to aid the public understanding of science and to muster public support for scientific ventures whilst repairing the damage done in recent decades by science scandals surrounding vaccinations, cloning, GM and climate. I hope to eventually be able to present for the BBC.
Any wise words to those thinking of undertaking a CREST Award now?
Think of a good project and do it. This is a great opportunity to let your imagination run wild with science to answer the questions that a keen mind is always asking and that nobody can answer. You'll have some fantastic experiences that many more experienced scientists would gladly give their best pipettes for.

A Friday, Nov. 16, fire at a mobile home in the town of Plover claimed the life of one resident living there.
The Portage County Sheriff's Department Communications Center received a 9-1-1 call at 7:07 a.m. reporting that a mobile home at 5955 Birch Drive was on fire. The caller, Michael Johnson, Plover, told dispatchers that he spotted smoke on Highway 54 as he was driving, and that he was unable to enter the home due to heat and smoke after stopping there.
Capt. Dale O'Kray of the Portage County Sheriff's Department said one of the five residents living at the home, Sanjuana Esquivel, 55, died mostly likely as a result of smoke inhalation at the home, located at 5955 Birch Drive. The other residents, including her husband and sister, and a 14-year-old boy and his mother, were not at home at the time of the fire.

DIY 3D Printed Zoetrope
(AdaFruit blog) A zoetrope is a device that produces the illusion of motion by rapidly spinning a series of static images. It is a classic invention with ancient roots and has gone through many iterations over the years. The littleBits team thought it would put their own "spin" on the zoetrope using littleBits and 3D printed parts. For this project, the circuit was relatively simple. It has a DC motor and three bright LEDs controlled by a pulse. The team also used a button in combination with a latch in order to be able to turn it off and on.
The DC motor sits in a custom 3D printed vertical mount so that it can stand up on its side. A large chipboard disc with 30 3D printed figures sits on top of the DC motor via another 3D printed connector. To make the animated figures they used 30 frames from a 3D animation file on Blender's tutorial page. The whole contraption sits inside a dark box that has two small holes for viewing.

It's the battle of Generation X in the race for Dutchess County Executive. As our Curtis Schick shows us, the two candidates may be young, but both are not political newcomers.
DUTCHESS COUNTY, N.Y. -- Assemblyman Marc Molinaro, 35, kicked off his campaign for County Executive in Poughkeepsie.
"I want to be County Executive because I know the challenges we face, the character of our people and the unyielding potential of our future," Molinaro said.
The Red Hook Republican is facing 29-year-old Democrat Dan French. The Beekman Town Supervisor and Deputy Elections Commissioner officially threw his hat in the ring last week.
"I believe it is time for a new day in our County. And I believe I have education and the experience to bring the necessary change to our government," French said.
The two Gen-Xers are vying for retiring five term Executive William Steinhaus' job. Molinaro is not running away from Steinhaus' record, while French says Molinaro is more of the same.
"We are prepared to lead, we are prepared to use the foundation we have been granted and make this county a great place for future generations," Molinaro said.
"We have had 20 years of the same tired tactics, now it is time to turn the page and bring a new approach," French said.
One big issue in the county either faces is what to do about the crowded Dutchess County jail. Many Republicans in the County legislature support an expansion, but Molinaro is examining the options.
"We are going to be talking over the course of the next few months about specific proposals," Molinaro said. "The bottom line is we need to protect the citizens of Dutchess County."
As for French, it is an idea he is at best luke warm to.
"We have to explore every opportunity for alternatives to incarceration before we go to a brick and mortar approach. Our property tax payers are struggling," French said.
Both are relatively young, but both have plenty of political experience. French was first elected at 23 to the Beekman Town Board, while Molinaro was the youngest person elected to anything in New York when he joins the Tivoli board at age 18 before stints as that Village's Mayor and a County Legislator.

Lemonade Diet Recipe
Ever since Stanley Burroughs brought the Master Cleanse Diet to life in 1941, a lot of people have changed their lifestyle and gained paramount results with it. It was their key to a healthier and fit body they always wanted. This diet was made even more popular by Peter Glickman who continues to encourage people to try it. So how does the master cleanse diet work? Can it really help you achieve your physical goals?
The Master Cleanse or Lemonade Diet, as Burroughs describes it, is a detoxification program that helps get rid of harmful toxins from the body, it also encourages weight loss which is great for obese people. The diet even claims to cure ulcer and various diseases. So, how true are these claims? Beyonce Knowles, Robbin Quivers and David Blaine are among the many to use this diet and they testify that it is, indeed, effective. And ever since the stars admitted to use it, the whole world went crazy over it.
The deal is to go through a minimum of 10 consecutive days with the diet and see the difference. Your digestive system will be purged of unwanted toxins and you will feel better than ever before. This diet also says to removes the craving for alcohol, tobacco and even drugs from your system. The great news for obese people is that it takes away the wanting of eating as well.
Ingredients for the Lemonade diet are as follows:
For every 10 oz glass of filtered water, you will need
2 tablespoons of organic lemons
2 tablespoons of organic grade B maple syrup (not the ones found on your breakfast table)
1/10 tablespoon of powdered cayenne pepper
Unrefined sea salt (depending on your taste)
Shake up all the ingredients together and consume 6-12 glasses of this in a day. Take note that you will drink only the lemonade recipe for the course of 10 days and nothing more. There will be no solid foods or any other food except the lemonade. The first few hours or days will be the most crucial. Your body is yet to change from its usual state. If you think you have been eating healthy, think again. You will be surprised at how unhealthy your body is as the diet kicks in.
One of the common mistakes that people make when doing this diet is the water they are using. Because it's widely available, they simply take it for granted. It is important that we use untreated water, chlorine free and fluoride free. Only put fresh and pure water in your lemonade to ensure effectiveness.
Another thing to keep in mind when going through the ten days of this diet is having the greatest necessary discipline. You should follow the diet with flawlessness, no cheating, no skipping and no cutting around the corners. It is imperative that you perform it 100 percent to achieve the maximum benefits and avoid probably backfiring.
Applying the master cleanse diet will surely aid you in gaining the body you always dreamed of. So go to the nearest grocery store and give this a try, you will never regret doing this because it totally works!

It's a good thing I checked the status of my permanent residency application online, as the request for my passport had slipped through the cracks of my e-mail. (Must've looked spammy.) So I'm in the final stages of my application, hooray! Now I need to send my passport to the Buffalo consulate so that they can stamp my passport, and then I'll leave Canada and land as a permanent resident.
This is like those logic puzzles I so loved to solve as a kid. ;) (Still do!)
I have two variables to play with here:
So, what are the options?
Looks like the best option is to mail my passport to Buffalo after the training trip. There's still a risk that I won't get my passport back in time, but that's the lowest risk of all the options.
Yay decision trees!

Avoiding worm trouble
Worms can be annoying, especially at the start of the game when you want to harvest plenty of spice. They simply eat up your harvesters. A very effective solution for this is to create a group of Troopers (five to ten should be sufficient). Worms are very vulnerable to missile attacks, and do not survive very long. Better yet, they are not very inclined to surface and chew up infantry. Put some Troopers around your spice-rich area, and let them do their work. Put them on some rocks if available. They will shoot up the worm and kill it in no time, allowing your harvesters to continue their work without disturbance. A few Rocket Turrets or Missile Launchers also helps.
Getting your troops to other patches of land
Build all of your buildings, troops, etc, then build a Heavy Factory or a Starport. Next, buy a MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle). Take the MCV to another patch of land that you cannot access with concrete. Use the MCV and deploy it wherever desired. When doing this you can build all your buildings,Barracks, Refinery, Heavy Factory, etc.
The battle tanks from each house have specific strengths. The Ordos have the quickest tanks. The Harkonnen have the strongest tanks. The Atreides have tanks that are moderate in both speed and strength.
Avoid Atreides airstrikes
When facing the Atreides, build a line of missile towers. Build the missile towers all around your base to avoid airstikes from the Atreides.
Hidden unit
After you complete the final mission with the House Harkonen, the Emperor speaks of releasing the Saudukar in the FMV sequence that follows. These Saudukar are the infantry units that make up most of the Emperor's light infantry. They are the ones that wear the helmet with the black "visor". To be able to use this unit, you have to attack the Emperor first on the last mission with any house. The Emperor is the purple base/fleet. Bring an engineer to the battle when you attack him. After that, take control of the Emperor's palace. You can now build Saudukars from your barracks.
Easy victory hints
-Avoid attacking the enemy, let them come to you. When you start, do not build Weapon Factories. Instead, build Cannons and Missile Turrets. It is a good idea to build Trikes and Quads to act as scout lookouts. Don't build too fast or you will run out of money when they attack. The most important thing is to not put all of your defenses in one place.
Gun turrets
When the battle begins, build up lines of gun turrets instead of wasting time with building up large units that get killed and decrease your score. Build up gun turrets and work on defense. Once your enemy starts getting killed by your gun turrets, build up a large army and get ready for an attack. It is recommended that you fix your gun turrets often.
Destroy yourself
Whenever you want to destroy yourself in combat, hold CTRL and click one of your own structures or anything else you own. Note: The first object you click on has to be something that can shoot.
Getting sufficient amounts of rock
To get enough rocks, in practice mode(which can be found in the multi-player option at the main menu; you should have tech level to 7), send a Trike to look around. Also, look for the amount of Spice nearby. If you have a sufficient amount of Spice and Rock, find a place for your MCV. If you do not, press ESC, select "Abort Mission", and reset the campaign. Repeat this process until you are used to your environment. Do not look for another place without resetting the mission, as it wastes time and your enemy or enemies can find you and launch an assault.
Base defense
While defending your base during a skirmish, if you completely block off one of the entrances to your plateau, the AI will simply ignore the walls and go to the other opening. This is good because you only have to focus on defending one area. If you completely block of all entrances to your base, the AI will then destroy your walls. Sometimes they may choose to attack one blocked opening because of the distance and width of the plateau you occupy.
Open combat
When you have built a large enough army for a successful attack, make sure to use the team hot keys that are described in the manual for the best efficiency when in a dog fight. Once all the units in the attack force have been highlighted, start to move each team at a time to various points among the map. Keep in mind that some units are much faster than others, so make the different points relatively close together -- make sure that the faster units wait for the slower ones. If they do not it would defeat the purpose of bringing all the units in a team. Even if you make teams with the same units, being able to click from one group to another during battle is far better than to keep highlighting each group of units when you want to control them. Once in battle you can rotate from one group of units to another and focus their attack on focal points in either the opponent's army or base structure (bigger heavily defended units and structures such as a construction yard, heavy factory and repair facility, etc.) This strategy results in faster more effective attacks with less of your units lost.
All outpost map seen
Once you start building up troops, send a Trike to look around. This will let you see most of your map, depending on how far you got with the trike before it gets blown up. This will help you find the enemy and all the bases. Do not worry if a few trikes get destroyed as they only cost 200 each.
Go to multiplayer mode and find the button labeled "Practice". You can play single-player in multi-player mode. Also, you can set custom parameters for the game, similar to skirmish.
Unnecessary concrete slabs
It's not necessary to put concrete underneath an entire building. If the building has a dirt patch, just cover the actual building portion and leave the dirt patch on regular sand. This will save on spice and the number of concrete slabs to be built.
Using Fremen
On the Atreides missions where Fremen are available, send about six Fremen at a time to cover areas of prime targets. Have them stay still until enemy defenses are low. Fremen are difficult to spot when they stay still, so you can build large attack

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Christians, Marcel email@example.com URN etd-07042008-181022 Document Title Flow-pattern-based heat transfer and pressure drop correlations for condensing refrigerants in smooth tubes Degree MEng (Mechanical Engineering) Department Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof J P Meyer Prof L Liebenberg Supervisor Keywords
- time fraction
- flow pattern
- smooth tube
- condensation
- heat transfer
- pressure drop
Date 2007-09-05 Availability unrestricted Abstract
The phase-out of ozone-depleting refrigerants, such as R-12 and R-22, according to the Montreal Protocol of 1987, has provided the incentive to increase the thermal efficiency of current heating and refrigeration systems. The purpose of this study was to increase the accuracy of the predictions of both the heat transfer and pressure drop correlations for condensing refrigerants in the Intermittent flow regime. This was done utilizing a novel method involving the temporal and spectral analysis of the light intensity of the local flow regime, as seen through a sight glass. An experimental setup was designed, built and commissioned specifically for this purpose using refrigerant R-22 and a smooth tube.
It was found that the accuracy of the mean heat transfer coefficient predictions increased substantially compared to other leading correlations,particularly at low mass fluxes. In terms of the pressure drop,the predictions also increased in accuracy, and it was found that the time fraction method allows for continuous predictions over flow regime transitions when using local flow-pattern-based pressure drop models.
This was previously not possible.
