Months ago, I made plans to travel with new friends from Samois-sur-Seine, the small French village where I now live, to the United Kingdom's University of Cambridge. Their son was coordinating and hosting a charity fund-raising photography exhibition and gala, and we would be his guests. Who knew that when the day came for us to arrive in this historic university town, the much-maligned former International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn would be scheduled to address a prestigious student debate society that very night?
Invited by the Cambridge Union Society to speak at the university, Strauss-Kahn's presence late last week was greeted by hundreds of protesting students, livid that a man who resigned from the IMF in May 2011 following charges he sexually assaulted a New York hotel maid had been given such a speaking platform. (Separately, 62-year-old Strauss-Kahn has been under investigation in France for possible involvement with a prostitution ring.) Because one of my friends is a fellow journalist writing for an Asian newspaper, she suggested we check out the protest in case it provided fodder for coverage. Little did we know that we'd witness students tussling with Cambridge police, being chased, carried off and arrested—and find ourselves smack in the middle of an internationally reported protest.
While there, my friend captured great photos; I interviewed male and female Cambridge students spending their Friday night shouting slogans such as, "2, 4, 6, 8, Stop the Violence, Stop the Rape" and"DSK, Go Away" and carrying signs that read, "Rape Survivors Don't Get This Platform," "Shame On You DSK/We Are All Chambermaids," and "Rape Is Not a Sex Scandal."
Third-year student Silkie Carlo joined the spirited protest "because Cambridge is a bastion of privilege. We've got a history of (promoting) white, powerful males," she said. "It's offensive, and to still be hosting people like this shows how antiquated we are. I think it's really important to note that it's not just the allegations, but (DSK's) leadership of the IMF. The IMF has been raping the world." Said fellow third-year student Kim Graham—a 21-year-old member of the prestigious Cambridge Union Society that invited the former IMF head: "I just think it's disgusting, (happening) right after International Women's Day, that they brought DSK here." But "the worldwide media exposure we've gotten has been amazing. This coverage is really good for the cause."
And speaking of coverage … my friend, journalist and author Laura Lam of the English-language Vietnamese online newspaper DTI News, filed this article just hours after the event.
Such is the serendipity of travel. When you book your trip, you never know what adventures—including globally newsworthy ones like this—might await. And when opportunities present themselves to you during your journeys—whether a last-minute late-night concert or an afternoon in a café with fellow travelers—why not take advantage?
I love books that address the wonder of traversing the world. One of my favorite tomes is The Power of Travel: A Passport to Adventure, Discovery and Growth (Jeremy P. Tarcher/Putnam, $12.95), by Steve Zikman. As he writes in an entry called "On the Wings of Serendipity": "No matter our intended design or schedule, Chance is our ever-present travel partner in discovery. Fate and Destiny orchestrate our journey, map out our path. Fortune and Luck plot our course, serve as our compass…."
And who knew this compass would direct us right into the midst of the DSK saga, a sordid tale being followed and covered by news organizations the world over? Timing is everything, as they say.

Simple basic recipe for the first time. Add more seasonings to taste. I added lemon pepper & more mustard. Also, didn't have parsley, so added celery leaves & another celery stalk. My daughter loved them...my family of three both had two, since I used the smaller cans...2 (5.5 oz) which made 6 patties instead of 8. We all agreed that we should have these more often!
Easy Salmon Cakes
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, EatingWell Serves Two, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
If you are trying to boost your intake of omega-3s, try this simple favorite. It is a great way to use convenient canned (or leftover) salmon. The tangy dill sauce provides a tart balance.
116 Reviews for Easy Salmon Cakes
Due to my own lack of planning I was forced to make a some changes and it still turned out great. I ended up using Arctic Char instead of salmon. I poached it in salt water with lemon. No fresh breadcrumbs so I added about a 1/4 cup water to the ones I had and it was too hot to turn on the oven so I cooked them in a non-stick pan with a little canola oil. The cakes held together well and were great with the dill sauce-its a necessity.
Yummy everyone in my family loved this! I added mushroom and chives. I doubled the recipe and did not feel the need to bake it after pan frying lightly in olive oil. Will make again and again!
Excellent recipe for leftover salmon. I had 3/4 cup of salmon so cut the recipe in half which was perfect for 2 people. Used 1/2 cup of Panko breadcrumbs and 1 egg. Also added a touch of salt. Saw no need to put it in the oven. Browned patties on both sides in a saute pan, and they were perfect. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
This recipe is true to its name-easy, simple, delicious and healthy! The creamy dill dressing was also a hit with my family. Had to go back and make more. We loved it!

Richland Golf Center summons clubbers of all stripes with its sprawling, multifaceted swing-honing facility and a staff of ace instructors. Revolving around a central pond, the nine-hole executive course helps players master their approaches with seven par 3s and two par 4s that ensure drivers won't start questioning their self-worth. Clients can groom their game in pressure-free sessions at the 40 all-grass hitting stalls of the driving range, at the 2-acre short-game area, or by enrolling in one many golf lesson options.
The center also encompasses an 18-hole mini-golf course, which eschews gimmicky clowns and windmills in favor of a calming layout with misting fountains and obstacles such as water hazards, bunkers, and out-of-bounds areas. Clients can pair renovated swings with brand-new clubs in the pro shop, which peddles gear from brands such as TaylorMade, Srixon, Cleveland, or enlist the center's experts to regrip their current clubs or replace driver shafts snapped during sand-trap pole-vaulting competitions.
At Riviera Fitness Centers of Madison—a women-only fitness haven—patrons tackle Les Mills group fitness classes, strength and cardio equipment, and one-on-one personal training, all designed to make gals feel comfortable as they forge toward their fitness goals. The onsite childcare staff supervises tykes so moms can cartwheel off to classes such as BodyAttack and Zumba. During Zumba classes, the studio transforms into a club-like dance-party atmosphere, accented with colored lights and thumping Latin-inspired beats. The instructors lead the easy-to-follow dance steps on an elevated stage, allowing everyone to see the right moves instead of getting discouraged and reverting to the Hokey Pokey. Boot-camp sessions fuse cardio and resistance training to tone physiques as campers wield exercise equipment including kettlebells, barbells, and bosu balls.
In addition to getting fit during group training, ladies can seek one-on-one fitness advice during personal training sessions, which are tailored to suit their goals. Riviera Fitness Center also offers tanning, bronzing recently toned bodies for the beach or flexing in front of a mirror.
Firm Body Bootcamp blasts apart repetitive gym routines and packs the fissures with functional strength training and a blend of fun and no-nonsense equipment.

The 45-minute routines kick-start heart rates with cardio drills, and team-based exercises breed camaraderie among campers and ensure backup should the exercise equipment rise up against its masters. Because its maneuvers are fully modifiable, there's ample room at the fitness table for guests of every experience level, including those who have never set foot in a gym.
Supplementary dietary plans and progress-tracking tools collaborate to keep metabolism racing outside of class. To date, Firm Body Bootcamp has helped more than 13 individuals lose 100 pounds each, the weight equivalent of a compact car that refuses to exercise.

California 2016: Next Big Goal For Marijuana Legalization Activists
Marijuana activists who have longed for decades to end America's drug war pocketed more major victories Tuesday, with Oregon and the nation's capital approving recreational pot use. The advocates believed they also have another win, too, in Alaska, as a legal pot measure held a steady lead.
The only major loss for drug-law reformers came in Florida and even there, a medical marijuana proposal earned… [Read More]

Inspectors question water practices
FDA inspectors noted that the agricultural water Chamberlain Farm used during growing, harvesting and packing "may not have been of adequate quality and therefore cannot be eliminated as a potential contributor in the spread of salmonella contamination."
The FDA also found problems with a well that provided water for Chamberlain Farm's greenhouse where cantaloupe seedlings were grown. The agency cited problems with other wells used for irrigation and packinghouse water.
The well water did not test positive for salmonella, but it did have E. coli and coliform. According to the March 1 FDA report, "it is unusual to note indicators of fecal contamination to be recovered from ground water sources."
Chamberlain told FDA investigators he did not use any irrigation on one of his four cantaloupe fields. The investigators questioned that statement.
"This is extraordinary given the water use demands typically required to commercially produce cantaloupe and watermelon, particularly given the extreme heat and drought conditions which occurred in Southwest Indiana during the summer growing season of 2012," according to the FDA report.
The FDA reported Chamberlain did not have written food safety procedures or documents about monitoring wash water used at the packing shed.

Links for a spring morning
Baseball March 16th, 2009
Holy cow, is it nice out there or what? I went shopping for softball gloves yesterday and was too hot in my pants. Crazy. Speaking of softball, what is the deal with that? This is my first year joining a league and there are multiple ball sizes. Seriously? Is this a tremendous difference between a slow pitched 12.5 inch ball and a 14 inch? Is this really necessary for me to have different sized gloves?
On to the links..
Anthony Witrado's English Adventures Continued...: Al points out another classic A-Dub mistake. I love that it's Al pointing it out because he is quick to point out that he's no English major himself.
USA beats itself by slaughter rule: I remember when I was in little league and we lost a game once by slaughter rule. Even though I was 0-3 I still wanted to fight every single one of my teammates for letting this happen. I hope Youkilis doesn't feel the same way, he could probably do it.
Wait a minute, why am I talking about this?: BRAUN IS INJURED??!? I HATE THE WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC!!! I HATE THE DUTCH!!!
You know who else hates the Dutch? Matt Lindstrom: The WBC is no longer fun and games.
Brewers too reliant on home runs: You know, because that strategy worked so horribly for the Phillies.
Bill James wants a piece of me: Bill James comments on Rickie Weeks. I'm going to comment more on this later, but I'll give you a preview: I am going to challenge a 59 year old man to a fight.
Mets owners are greedy, jerks: Shocking, no?
We'll be back with more later. (A lot more actually.) Until then if you want links done right check out Brew Crew Ball who have been very kind to us in our short existence. (Sidenote: Does it bother anyone else that the Brewers and Cubs blogs on SB Nation both are initialized BCB? That bugs the crap out of me.)

When you come to Rio de Janeiro on vacation, you'll soon see why it's known as the Cidade Maravilhosa (the "Wonderful City") to locals. Brazil's former capital is surrounded by a natural beauty that few cities can rival – with the rolling waves of the Atlantic spreading out at its feet and a dramatic backdrop of green-clad mountains, Rio hugs the curves of Guanabara Bay, making for a spectacular setting. Rio de Janeiro is the perfect destination for a vacation that combines the best of a city break and beachfront relaxation, and you can enjoy it all with one of Localnomad's short stay rental apartments!

Check out our apartments in Copacabana and Ipanema to see what these neighborhoods have to offer.
There's much more to Rio de Janeiro than just beaches. Famous for football, samba and flamboyant nightlife, visitors to Rio should include all of these typically carioca experiences on their itinerary. And of course, no visit to Rio de Janeiro would be complete without scaling Corcovado to see Christ the Redeemer – you'll be awe-struck by the sheer scale of the statue as well as the stunning cityscape spreading out at your feet. Another great spot to admire views of Rio is from Sugarloaf Mountain – it's only from up high that you'll fully appreciate just how breathtakingly beautiful the city is.

As many of you probably know, fighting human trafficking is a passion of mine, right up there with Giants baseball, so I'm terribly excited about tonight, which is Human Trafficking Awareness Night at AT&T Park.
The lovely t-shirt comes from a Not For Sale Campaign – you can read all about them here – and Sevenly team-up (it reads "Let Them Be Free" in case you can't read it through my multitude of hair) and the Giants cap is actually my brother's, because his is definitely more fab than mine. Thanks for lending it to me, darling. It's for a good cause.

Since some of us have had the weekend to take a stab at the new Heirs of Numenor expansion, I was wondering what everyone thinks so far.
My initial opinion my first time through the quests was pretty negative to the Battle and Siege Keywords, but now that I have had a chance to make some deck changes I really like them quite a bit. It forces the solo play to have an even more balanced deck, which can be quite a challenge, and plan each turn much more carefully. What I like most is that it really opens the door to a strong and immensly helpful Tactics sphere, both in solo and multiplayer. The one big downside seems to be that a characters willpower at times has no use. Maybe the designers will find a way for our heroes and allies to utilize that a different way too, even in multi-sphere decks. Ultimately, I like the new Battle and Siege mechanic enough that I wish it was used from the beginning.
Since it is getting late I'll chime in tomorrow with some card thoughts!

Honda Pilot Tires and Wheels
odie6l Hershey, PaPosts: 1,082No, after I purchased the Pilot I was told this by the Dealer to stop at any local Goodyear to have it added. All you need to do is show your bill of sale for the new vehicle (not a used on) purchase. Good year does this as basis the new vehicle mean new tires and they want to back their product. When I did this it was my first visit to the Goodyear Service Center, so there was no "Previous Customer Discount". Since then, I have stuck with Goodyear. The other thing, if you are on a long trip, you can go to any Goodyear center since your information is in a national database. I have seen this also in Ford, Pontiac, and Jeep forums listed after I had it done. So it was not a 1 time instance.

stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,443When you said you had the tire store add the full Road Hazard Lifetime Warranty to the tires, I figured you had to pay for that "extended" warranty on the Goodyears. So you're saying you got it free.
Never heard of a freebie like that before. Pretty neat.Moderator
Minivan fan. Feel free to message or email me - firstname.lastname@example.com. -
odie6l Hershey, PaPosts: 1,082No, I had to pay the cost of the Road Hazzard Warranty that you would normally pay when added to new tires purchased from Goodyear. They just only charged me the cost of the Warranty which at that time was only $14 per tire ($56 total cost). It was well worth it when the tires wore out so fast and they replaced them under the warranty.
Odie -
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,443K, I think that was part of the confusion. As mentioned, I don't think OEM tires carry a mileage warranty (nor any warranty from the auto maker). Warranty booklets usually say to contact Goodyear or Firestone for any warranty claims I think, and I bet those are limited to manufacturing defects.
Good to know that some shops will sell the road hazard warranty like that. Like you say, cheap insurance.Moderator

odie6l Hershey, PaPosts: 1,082Well, this morning my wife noticed something on one of the Silent Armors (S.A.'s) on "The Beast". There was a small crack starting on the sidewall in the center. I decided since I now have 62,500 miles on them and a long drive from Hershey to Knoxville coming up, best to get it checked out just for piece of mind. Now the treadlife on the S.A.'s is only 50k, so I made out good so far considering what I've put them through. We did a walk through and found the cracks on 3 of the 4 tires. These are age cracks so nothing that bad, problem is the tires won't pass Pennsylvania State Inspection (which I need to have done also). As for tread, I still have a good 7/32's left on them so I was pleased with that. Since I've had such a good run with the S.A.'s, I'm going to stick with them and run them again. The only down side is the price... When I got the 1st set I had the benifit of the warrenty from the Integrity's helping out, but now with the age I'll have to pay full pricing. Thankfully I get a discount from a local Goodyear shop for my current employeer and also they are going to roll a loyalty discount on top of it. Installed (including all taxes, disposale, fees, labor, etc) is going to roll me for $950. Guess I'm not getting a new vehicle for a couple of years now. Besides, I like "The Beast" too much to get rid of him.

pilotguy2 Posts: 14My 2010 Pilot 4WD Touring came with Michelin MX4 tires and I got 70,000 miles on the originals, and they still weren't in terrible shape when I replaced them. I've never gotten that many mile out of any tire on any vehicle, so I'm sold on the Michelins. I replaced the OEM tires with the same Michelin MX4 -- hope I get another 70k miles. I like them so much, I put Michelin tires on my Suburban also -- we'll see how they do.
sda Indian Land, SCPosts: 353
Recently bought a 2010 EXL. It has the GY Forterras and are in good shape. A tire store will give me a $240 credit for them if I buy 4 new tires, doesn't matter what brand. I have always preferred Michelin. I had the Michelin Lattitude on our 09 CR-V. Any one have experience with those on the Pilot? I am tempted to take them up on the offer, yet am inclined to run the current tires until they are worn.

Outdoor heaters for parties on cool evenings
If your house is too small to host the next family party, do not let a cool evening put a damper on the festivities or the size of the guest list. Putting up one or more outdoor heaters makes it possible to utilize your available garden and patio space as an extension of your home. Suddenly, you open up an entire new section of party space. Cool evening temperatures are no longer a reason to move a party indoors or scrap your party plans altogether.
Not all outdoor heaters operate in the same way. Umbrella electric patio heaters use infrared heat lamps. You can easily attach them to your deck's roofing, lattices or a pergola. Place a stand-alone patio heater anywhere there is no plug. This type of heater operates on eco-friendly propane and has the power to heat a 20-square-foot area. For a sit-down affair, place small tabletop heaters on your patio tables. They use propane or butane, and in spite of their diminutive sizes, they still have the power to heat a 50-foot area.
Heater accessories ensure that your outdoor heaters stay in their best working condition. For example, opt for a 5-foot propane extension hose when operating heaters with a secondary fuel source on standby. There is no need to swap out tanks in the middle of a party. A simple hose attachment makes it possible to discreetly switch to a different propane tank as needed without any interruption of the welcomed warmth that outdoor heaters provide.
Do not forget to also add a modern fireplace to your home's interior. Do not worry if you live in an apartment or condominium that the builders never fitted for this type of heat source. Electric fireplaces that turn your chilly room into a warm space can be as small as 20 inches in width. Realistically flickering flames add elegance to any interior decor. This type of heating equipment has the power to heat a 400-square-foot indoor space. Since these appliances are mobile, you can also use them on your patio.
If you prefer to heat your outdoor space with a portable fire pit, do not forget to protect it when not in use. Fire pit covers, fire bead gems and fitted table tops are just some of the accessories that keep your fire pit looking great and operating to manufacturer specifications for years after the initial purchase.

Abstract: This is an oral history of Laree Jesup Elmer Shurtleff. It was conducted February 12, 2007 and concerns her recollections of the history of the Marriott-Slaterville area. LS: My name is Laree Jesup Elmer Shurtleff because I was married twice. I was born in Wilson Lane in Weber County. My parents moved from Ogden to Cache Valley. We lived in Millville and then in Logan. In 1927 we moved to Franklin County, Idaho, where my father had bought a forty acre farm. There was nothing on it except forty acres of hay with a fence around it. We lived outside in the open the first summer we were there. We took our baths in the irrigation ditch. The Clifton school wagon would not come down to get us because we were so far out, clear on the outskirts of Clifton. We were closer to Dayton, so the Dayton school wagon came within about a block and a half of our house. We went to the Dayton school the first year we lived there. I was in the sixth grade. The next year, Clifton decided they wanted us so they sent their school wagon down after us. I went from seventh grade through twelfth grade at Clifton. The school was a high school, and there was no junior high there. The elementary was on the first floor and the high school on the second floor of the building. We had two classrooms and a long, narrow gym in the high school. I graduated from there in 1934. I was married on the 2nd of November of 1938, then came to Marriott on the 1st of December 1938. We lived with my mother-in-law and her youngest daughter, my husband's younger sister who never married, until my second child was about five months old and then we moved into a little two room house on the same lot. We had no water in the house, no bathroom fixtures, and we lived there in that little house where we had five children until the winter of 1948 when we had built a bigger house in front of the little one. My youngest daughter was born in the new house. The house that my mother-in-law lived in was built in 1897 and she moved into that house when she had two little boys. Her first daughter was born there in 1900. My youngest son now owns the old Elmer home where we first lived when we got married. I now have three sons and a daughter and a granddaughter. I did have two grandsons that lived on the same street, and that is why they called it Elmerville. Anyway, my husband worked at the First Security Bank as a night watchman. He worked there when the prisoners of war were stationed at the Depot. When we decided to build our new home we bought the mess hall from over there after the prisoners were released. They tore it down and hauled it over to our yard and we had to build a house according to the shape and the size of the rafters that were on this building. We lived in that house until 1972 when we moved into our new house across the street and just a little bit East. My husband's mother was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and joined the church there and came over here when she was about eighteen years old. She worked for a farmer as a housemaid and one day a young man came in to bring in his mother's produce, eggs, butter, and so forth to exchange in the store for the things that they couldn't make themselves. As he saw this young lady back in the kitchen of this store he asked about her and was told that she came from Denmark and he says to the man, "That is the girl I am going to marry." Well he didn't speak any Danish and she didn't speak any English so when they started going together, her older sister who had come here earlier had to go with them to be interpreter for their courtship. They were eventually married in the Salt Lake Temple. My husband's grandfather, William Elmer, came across the plains and settled out here and farmed in this area somewhere. Later he lived with his family in Bingham's Fort. One time before the Pineview Dam was built when the river overflowed, he lost five acres of grain overnight. It was just washed away and he had to start over. Then he also lived up in Ogden City, and he had a big barn that was up there torn apart and hauled down to the area where we lived and put back together again. Later we had a fire in the barn and it burned to the ground. We live in the area between the railroad tracks and where the Ogden and the Weber River join right back of our place. My husband was a farmer most of his life. His father had poor eye sight and so he stayed and was the last of their family to be married. The rest got jobs and went away, so the farm reverted back to him. That is where I have lived ever since I came here. My oldest daughter lives in Denmark and has done since April of 1969. We have been over to visit her a time or two. One time there was a couple that came from Denmark that wanted to come and visit us. They tried to find us and never could because they were looking for Elmersville. There was no Elmersville on the map. I guess my fondest memories are right now. I am still here. The ward was a pretty good sized ward when we first moved here. Then the IRS took a lot of the Depot property and a lot of the people had to move out. We had ward reunions, we had Relief Society bizarre, and one time the church was invaded by a transient. He went down in the basement where the Relief Society had their things and slept and ate what he could find down there and left. He took a quilt with him – we made a lot of quilts back then. James Ritchie was the bishop for thirty-two years and then they moved to Idaho. His son-in-law LaVell Butt became our bishop. Over the years we have had Carl Hodson, Grant Hodson, Delbert Hodson, Bishop Eto, and Del Funk, Clarence Buck, and our present bishop is Danny Brown. We have quite a few ex-bishops living in our ward now. When they went to the block meeting schedule I had been on a mission in Arizona. When I came back they had combined part of one of the Slaterville wards into Marriott and the other part into the other Slaterville ward. It was just like I had come back to a new ward. There were a lot of people that I didn't know because I wasn't acquainted with the people in Slaterville. Now we have three Marriott-Slaterville wards. Technically all the ward members were there to the ward reunions. People who had lived here came from other places to be at this ward reunion. We just had a good time, ate together, played games, socialized, had a dance, and whatever came up we had. It was fun! My husband worked long hours because he worked at the bank as a night watchman and he farmed in the daytime. When he would have an irrigation turn sometimes he never even had his shoes off between jobs. It was a lot of hard work. He used to raise sugar beets and tomatoes. It got to where a small farmer was just pushed out. You have to have a big acreage and big machinery now to be a farmer. After I was married I thinned beets and topped beets for my husband. We used to have to go out to—I think it was Cainsville or somewhere out there to pick up migrant farm workers to come and help in the farm work when it was beet crop time. I had also done that before I was married for my dad. My dad used to call me his best beet thinner. All my children went to school in Weber County. First, Wahlquist was an elementary school and then they built the Pioneer school so the elementary went to Pioneer, the junior high went to Wahlquist, and the high school kids went to the old Weber High School up on 12th and Washington. They all graduated from there. There has been a few of them go to college at Weber State. At one time or another, my children have all moved away. But most of them have come back and live right by me. I have a son and a daughter on each side of me and two sons across the street, a granddaughter in-between me and my daughter, and I did have two grandsons down the street a little ways. One has moved to Layton and the other one is still there. Another grandson around the corner on 1200 West and now he is moving to Tremonton. But that is why it is called Elmersville, it has always been a big part of my life and my family's life. My husband and I filled a mission in Alabama. After he died I went on a mission to Arizona and I have had several grandchildren go on missions. My great-grandchildren are not old enough yet but they will be sometime. I have had several different positions in the ward as teachers. I was Beehive Teacher for seventeen years and I was Junior Sunday School Coordinator for nine years which I quit to go on a mission to Alabama. I have been Relief Society Counselor, Primary Counselor, and I have played the piano for Relief Society and Primary for I guess sixty years. I am still playing for Relief Society at the age of 91 almost. I am also a Temple Ordinance Worker and have been for fourteen years now. I will continue to stay close to the church that is the big thing, staying close to the church, obey the commandments and stay out of debt. I have thirty-nine grandchildren, ninety-seven and four on the way great-grandchildren. Most of them are under the age of nineteen. One step—I don't know how many steps—great-great-grandchild. Back in the '70's, to help supplement our income off the farm which was not enough to support all of us, I worked for the State of Utah as a driver for a blind rehabilitation teacher. His name was Lynn Cruiser. There is nothing I can say about him that is not uplifting. He would try anything. He was legally blind and he was born that way. But there was nothing he would not try to do. If he couldn't do it—okay, he would go on to something else. That is something else that we all need to do. Do what we can do and forget about what we can't do. Be happy with what you have got.

8.2-23 Criminally Negligent Storage of a Firearm -- § 53a-217a
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with criminally negligent storage of a firearm. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of criminally negligent storage of a firearm when (he/she) improperly stores a firearm1 and a minor obtains the firearm and causes the injury or death of (himself/herself) or any other person.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Improperly stored
The first element is that the
defendant improperly stored a firearm. A "firearm"
is any sawed-off shotgun, machine gun, rifle, shotgun, pistol, revolver or other
Another statute provides that a person improperly stores a firearm when (he/she) stores any loaded firearm on any premises under (his/her) control if (he/she) knows or reasonably should know that a minor is likely to gain access to the firearm unless the firearm is kept in a securely locked box or other container or in a location which a reasonable person would believe to be secure or carries the firearm on (his/her) person or within such close proximity thereto that (he/she) can readily retrieve and use it as if (he/she) carried it on his person. <Insert allegations of improper storage.>3
To find that the defendant improperly stored firearms, you must find that the defendant was criminally negligent.4 A person acts with "criminal negligence" with respect to a result or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense when he fails to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk that such result will occur or that such circumstance exists. The risk must be of such nature and degree that the failure to perceive it constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation. <See Criminal Negligence, Instruction 2.3-5.>
Element 2 - Obtained by minor
The second element is that a minor
obtained the firearm as a result of the improper storage. A minor is any person
under sixteen years of age.
Element 3 - Minor caused injury
or death
The third element is that the minor
caused injury or death to (himself / herself) or another person with the
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant improperly stored a firearm, 2) as a result of the improper storage, a minor obtained the firearm, and 3) the minor caused injury or death to (himself / herself) or another person with the firearm.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of the
criminally negligent storage of a firearm, then you shall find the defendant
guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the
defendant not guilty.
1 The statute refers to § 29-37i, which is titled "Responsibilities re storage of loaded firearms with respect to minors."
2 See definitions for machine gun, rifle, shotgun, pistol or revolver in the glossary.
3 See § 29-37i. "The most appropriate and efficient means to achieve the goal of restricting access to a loaded firearm depends on facts uniquely within the knowledge of the individual gun owner. The most obvious variables include the ages of children in the household, the physical layout of the home, and the availability of locked safes or closets. A high shelf in a closet may be a secure location when the only child in the household is a toddler, but when older children are present in the home, it may be necessary to use trigger locks and a locked container. Therefore, while the individual gun owner may reasonably determine what he or she must do to 'secure' a weapon and a jury that is privy to the relevant facts may do so as well, it would be virtually impossible for the legislature to explicitly define what 'secure' means for every situation. . . . It is appropriate and necessary to leave this determination to the finder of fact." (Citations omitted.) State v. Wilchinski, 242 Conn. 211, 228 (1997).
4 State v. Wilchinski, supra, 242 Conn. 232.
In State v. Wilchinski, supra, 242 Conn. 211, the Supreme Court rejected the defendant's claim that § 53a-217a was unconstitutionally void for vagueness.
Subsection (b) of the statute
provides an exception if the "minor obtains the firearm as a result of an
unlawful entry to any premises by any person." "[W]here exceptions to a
prohibition in a criminal statute are situated separately from the enacting
clause, the exceptions are to be proven by the defense." (Internal quotation
marks omitted.) State v. Valinski, 254 Conn. 107, 123 (2000) (rule also
applies when the exception is found in a separate statute).

I'm an all-American original, having lived in Hawaii, New York, Texas, South Carolina, and Miami. I also served 7 years in the US Army. My husband is from Bogota, Colombia and has also lived in the former Soviet Union. But now we are both in NY.

I also have the genealogy bug! I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!

As we work our way through the closing days of the 2012 session, it is unquestionably more subdued than what we saw in the halls of the Capitol last year. There are still plenty of bills that we are monitoring closely and anything can happen in these closing hours, but it is highly unlikely that we will see any craziness.
What this really means is that there is plenty of news, but little in terms of small business. In fact, perhaps the only item of public interest from yesterday was news that the state and trade unions settled on a project labor agreement for the construction of the new Tappan Zee Bridge.
The lack of news in some ways is positive because it means the legislature, so far, is avoiding doing anything bad for small business. However, there are some good pieces of legislation that have either not been acted on or have only passed one house. For example, the Assembly has yet to show any interest in passing the simple reform to the Wage Theft Prevention Act that the Senate passed months ago. This is disappointing because small business owners have been living on the edge for quite some time now and things have clearly stalled on the "open New York for business" train.
Speaker Silver again stated that minimum wage was not going to be discussed before lawmakers leave town, but I have been in Albany too long to spike the ball on this issue. That said, there are still some independent contractor, healthcare/workers compensation mandates and prevailing wage expansion bills that are still alive, and all of which NFIB/NY opposes.
Stay tuned…
