1869: The largest alluvial gold nugget in history, called the "Welcome Stranger," is found in Moliagul, Victoria, Australia. The nugget measured 24 inches by 12 inches and weighed more than 240 pounds. It's estimated that the value of the nugget in 2013 dollars would have been more than $3.7 million.
1900: Politician and diplomat Adlai Ewing Stevenson II is born in Los Angeles, Calif. Stevenson served as the 31st governor of Illinois and was the Democratic Party's candidate for U.S. president in 1952 and 1956, losing both times to Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower. He also sought the Democratic nomination a third time, in 1960, but was defeated by Sen. John F. Kennedy. After Kennedy was elected, he appointed Stevenson as the ambassador to the United Nations, a position he held from 1961 until his death in July 1965.
1901: A loop-the-loop centrifugal railway, or roller coaster, is patented by Edwin Prescott of Arlington, Mass. Prescott had installed the roller coaster at Coney Island in 1900, where it was known as Boynton's Centrifugal Railway and had a 75-foot incline and a 20-foot-wide loop. The patent was to improve on his earlier design, which had a purely circular loop. The new patent featured the teardrop shape seen in today's looping roller coasters as an attempt to make the ride more comfortable for passengers.
1906: Actor John Carradine, one of the most prolific character actors in Hollywood history and the patriarch of the Carradine acting family, is born in New York City. Four of Carradine's five sons would also become actors: David, Robert, Keith and Bruce. David Carradine, who starred in the TV series "Kung Fu," would also see his own daughter, Calista, join Robert's daughter Ever and Keith's son Cade and daughter Martha Plimpton as actors.
1909: Belgian chemist Leo Baekeland announces the creation of Bakelite, the world's first synthetic thermosetting plastic. The discovery marked the beginning of the modern plastics industry and the material would be used in a myriad of products, including radio and telephone casings, kitchenware, jewelry, pipe stems, toys, cameras and more. Today it is mostly used for wire insulation, brake pads and related automotive components, and industrial electrical-related applications.
1914: Author William S. Burroughs, a primary figure of the Beat Generation and a major postmodernist author best known for his novel "Naked Lunch," is born in St. Louis, Mo. He died at age 83 on Aug. 2, 1997, from complications of a heart attack he had suffered the previous day.
1917: The current constitution of Mexico is adopted, establishing a federal republic with powers separated into independent executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
1917: The U.S. Congress passes the Immigration Act of 1917 over President Woodrow Wilson's veto. Also known as the Asiatic Barred Zone Act, it forbade immigration from nearly all of south and southeast Asia. The act was later altered formally by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, known as the McCarran-Walter Act. It extended the privilege of naturalization to Japanese, Koreans, and other Asians.
1918: Stephen W. Thompson of the U.S. Army Air Forces shoots down a German airplane while flying with the French on a bombing raid over Saarbrücken, Germany. It is the first aerial victory by a member of the U.S. military.
1918: The luxury liner SS Tuscania is torpedoed off the coast of Ireland, becoming the first ship carrying American troops to Europe to be torpedoed and sunk. The ship was carrying more than 2,000 U.S. troops en route to Liverpool, England, and 210 of its passengers died.
1919: Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin and D.W. Griffith launch the film studio United Artists with the intention of controlling their own interests rather than depending upon the powerful commercial studios.

Buttons, who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Sayonara," died at age 87 on July 13, 2006, of complications from high blood pressure.
1922: Reader's Digest magazine is published for the first time.
1927: Buster Keaton's silent comedy film "The General" has its New York City premiere after earlier showings in Tokyo and London. The movie, an adventure-epic filmed toward the end of the silent era, would receive poor reviews and struggle at the box office, but is today considered by critics as one of the greatest films ever made.
1934: Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron, who in 1974 broke the career home run record set by Babe Ruth, is born in Mobile, Ala. Aaron, who played 21 seasons for the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves before playing two seasons for the Milwaukee Brewers at the end of his career, was a 25-time All-Star and helped lead the Braves to a World Series title in 1957 while also winning the National League MVP award. His career home run record of 755 was eventually surpassed by Barry Bonds, but he still holds the MLB records for the most career RBIs (2,297), the most career extra base hits (1,477) and the most career total bases (6,856).
1937: Charlie Chaplin's silent film "Modern Times" premieres in New York City. The film, considered one of Chaplin's greatest, was released well into the "talkie" era of filmmaking and would prove to be Chaplin's last silent film and last time out as his famous "Little Tramp" character.
1942: Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Roger Staubach, who joined the Dallas Cowboys in 1969 following service in the U.S. Navy after graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy, is born in Cincinnati, Ohio. Staubach, who is also a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, led the Cowboys to two Super Bowl titles, winning the MVP award in Super Bowl VI to become the first player to win both the Heisman Trophy as college's best player and the Super Bowl MVP award. He was named to the Pro Bowl six times during his 11-year NFL career.

1958: Following a midair collision between a B-47 bomber and F-86 fighter plane during a practice exercise, a 7,600-pound Mark 15 hydrogen bomb is jettisoned and lost in the waters off Tybee Island near Savannah, Ga., never to be recovered.

1968: Hall of Fame baseball player Roberto Alomar, regarded by many as one of the best second basemen in MLB history, is born in Ponce, Puerto Rico. He's seen here (right) with his brother, fellow major-league ballplayer Sandy Alomar Jr. During a 17-season career that saw him win two World Series titles with the Toronto Blue Jays, the 12-time All-Star won more Gold Gloves (10) than any other second baseman in history, and also won the second-most Silver Slugger Awards (four) for a second baseman.
1969: The band Cream releases their last album "Goodbye." Released after the band had broken up, it featured six songs: three live recordings dating from an Oct. 19, 1968, concert at The Forum in Los Angeles, Calif., and three new studio recordings.
1969: Actress Thelma Ritter, who received six Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress and is best known for her comedic roles as working class characters, dies of a heart attack at the age of 66 in New York City. Ritter received Oscar nominations for "All About Eve," "The Mating Season," "With a Song in My Heart," "Pickup on South Street," "Pillow Talk" and "Birdman of Alcatraz." She also had roles in movies such as "Miracle on 34th Street," "Rear Window," "The Misfits" and "How the West Was Won."
1969: Singer Bobby Brown, who got his start with the R&B band New Edition before finding success as a solo artist, is born in Boston, Mass.

1969: Actor Michael Sheen, best known for his roles in movies such as "The Queen," "Frost/Nixon," "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," "Tron: Legacy" and "Midnight in Paris," is born in Newport, Wales, United Kingdom.

1972: Paul Simon releases the single "Mother and Child Reunion." The song, off his first solo album, would eventually reach No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
1972: Neil Young's song "Heart of Gold" enters the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for the first time. It would eventually climb all the way to the top of the chart, becoming Young's only No. 1 hit of his career so far.
1976: The 1976 swine flu outbreak begins at Fort Dix, N.J., with U.S. Army Pvt. David Lewis complaining of respiratory illness and of feeling tired and weak. A few days later Lewis died from what was determined to be swine flu. The outbreak is most remembered for the mass immunization that it prompted in the United States, including President Gerald Ford, seen here receiving his swine flu vaccination. Lewis remained the only death attributed to the disease and it never spread beyond Fort Dix.
1977: Boxer Sugar Ray Leonard beats Luis Vega in six rounds in Baltimore, Md., in his first professional match. Leonard would go on to become the first boxer to earn more than $100 million in purses while winning world titles in five weight divisions and compiling a 36-3-1 record, with 25 of his victories coming by knockout.
1986: Prince releases the song "Kiss" as a single. The song would end up becoming Prince's third No. 1 U.S. hit following 1984's highly successful "When Doves Cry" and "Let's Go Crazy."

The U.S. would end up sending troops into Panama on Dec. 20, 1989, to overthrow Noriega's government in a mission code-named Operation Just Cause. Noriega remained at large for several days before surrendering on Jan. 3, 1990. He was then immediately flown to the United States, where he was tried and convicted on eight counts of drug trafficking, racketeering and money laundering.
1989: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar becomes the first NBA player to score 38,000 points, reaching the milestone with the first basket in a Los Angeles Lakers' home game against the New Jersey Nets. Abdul-Jabbar would finish the game with 18 points to give him 38,017 for his career. He would retire after that season with a total of 38,387 points, which still ranks him No. 1 among all-time NBA points leaders. No other player has yet to break 38,000 and only four others (Karl Malone, Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant) have cracked 30,000. Abdul-Jabbar is seen here in 2006.
1993: Filmmaker Joseph L. Mankiewicz, best known as the writer-director of "All About Eve," dies at the age of 83 in Bedford, N.Y. "All About Eve" was nominated for 14 Academy Awards and won six, including wins for Mankiewicz in the categories of Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. He also directed movies such as "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir," "Julius Caesar," "The Barefoot Contessa," "Guys and Dolls," "Cleopatra" and "Sleuth," and won two additional Oscars for 1949's "A Letter to Three Wives," again for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.
1994: White separatist Byron De La Beckwith is convicted in Jackson, Miss., of the 1963 murder of civil rights leader Medgar Evers. Two previous trials in 1964 had resulted in hung juries. De La Beckwith was sentenced to life in prison and would die in prison in January 2001 at the age of 80.

2003: U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell presents evidence to the United Nations Security Council that Iraq has biological weapons and argues in favor of military action.

2007: Apple Computers settles a long standing legal battle with Apple Records, the record label set up by The Beatles, which had disputed the rights of the computer maker to sell music under the Apple name.

New Jersey printer Joe Olivo, a member of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), appeared Sunday on national television opposite Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-Il), to debate legislation that would raise the national minimum wage nearly 40 percent.
"My worst fear is that another expensive mandate from government is going to cause small businesses to find ways around hiring or keeping workers," said Olivo, who runs Perfect Printing of Moorestown, NJ.
Jackson is the sponsor of legislation that would raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $10. That would be a big increase in a good economy, said Olivo. In a sluggish economy with stiff competion and waning consumer demand, higher mandatory wages will hit small businesses hardest.
"They just don't understand how the economy works," said Olivo. "If you mandate higher wages without an increase in consumer demand, then employers have very few options except to reduce payroll. That isn't what we need right now."
Olivo was a guest on the Melissa Harris-Perry show on MSNBC yesterday at 11 am.
"Small businesses like mine need a voice in the national debate, and I'm glad to have been able to make our case on a national platform," said Olivo.

I'm looking for a method to label mason jars or bottles that does NOT involve adhesive. No sticker-type labels. I don't have the patience to remove adhesive labels, so I'm trying to avoid needing to do that. So I'm looking for some combination of rubberband+cardstock or maybe someone could recommend a pen that writes well on glass and is long-lasting (but removable). asked Apr 06 '11 at 19:38 camille I may have found a workable solution, at least for anything that has a metallic lid. I've found you can use a magnet to attach a label to the lid. The small Mighty Magnets work pretty well and come in a variety of shapes (some are easier to grab than others). For the labels, the backside of the cardboard that's used for 6-packs works great -- I cut out 2"-diameter circles to fit nicely inside the decorative print on the mason lid. Still would love to hear other ideas though.

How about one of those pencils made to write on photographs? linkanswered May 11 '11 at 10:41 bookofjoe You mean like a grease pencil? That might just work!

How about using a water-soluable pen (like an overhead pen) and a static cling label like the ones they use for oil-change reminders? They stick reliably in a pretty harsh environment (sun + hot) for 6+months and yet remove easily. I'd write with the overhead pen, then cover it with the label to keep from smearing. Office depot seems to sell inkjet-printable ones. I would worry that this would make the ink permanent rather than reusable, but maybe that is only on one surface or you could remove the ink-capturing coating (assuming it's a coating). You could just print on the labels and reuse, if you can a specific set of items. linkanswered May 24 '11 at 00:13 A Person |
We use day dots similar to these at my job. They are nice and adhesive, but also water-soluble, so they just magically go away in the dishwasher. These are the 1"x2" ones, but they have different sizes, and can be found online or in food service supply catalogs for cheaper. https://www.daydots.com/article.asp?HKEY=002&strPRODH=001001009&strMATNR=11009-00-00&page=1 linkanswered May 25 '11 at 07:29 jmello These look amazing! Are there any other uses outside of the food industry?

Interesting. My only concern is what happens to the labels after the come off in the dishwasher? Dont they gunk up the drain?? If the labels come off with a bit of faucet water, that might work.

I have no experience with canning, but you could order wider rubber bands and write labels in pen on those and slip them over the jar. The bonus is that if you place it at the widest point on the jar it will reduce clinking/breakage during storage. And they would be reusable! Staples carries 1/4 pound of these 1/2" wide rubber bands for $2. (Anybody know why they measure rubber bands by weight?) linkanswered May 02 '11 at 18:22 oliver This is a great idea! Thanks, Oliver.

I use freezer tape. I find it is easy to remove because it doesn't tear like a label would. To make it even easier to remove just fold one end of the tape into a tab. It is adhesive, but it not difficult to remove which seems to be the primary intent of the question. linkanswered May 25 '11 at 10:22 Monty |

Here's a question:
Why is it OK to watch HBO, MAX, and STARZ in real time (HDCP OK) but if I record the exact same show on my DirecTV HR24, I cannot watch it over HDMI (HDCP not OK)? Said another way, if the display is compliant in real time, why is it suddenly non-compliant when the program material is recorded on the DVRs provided by DirecTV?
It seems to me that this is an issue with the DirecTV DVR and how HDCP is implemented on it, not a problem with our cables, HDTVs, receivers, or HDMI switches.
Welcome, and Happy Holidays! Your question is more than fair. Do you have an AVR in the mix? What message are you getting?

Ethics board rules against commissioner Brown
Board votes against any penalty for 2 violations brought by former commissioner Horgan
On a split vote this evening, Fayette County's ethics board determined that County Commission Chairman Steve Brown violated the county's ethics ordinance on two separate occasions.
The board voted unanimously, however, not to penalize Brown for either of the infractions.
The board majority determined that Brown violated a county policy forbidding commissioners from issuing orders to county employees. The complaint filed against Brown referenced an email Brown sent to the human resources director in which Brown asked the director to inquire with the Georgia attorney general about a question dealing with the hiring of a new county administrator.
Brown contended the matter was simply a request, and not an order, but it was noted that the HR director acted on that request as if it had been an order by bringing it to the attention of the interim county administrator. Brown also said he was acting on behalf of the hiring committee established to select a new county administrator, and that if he had felt it was an order, he would have demanded that the HR director comply with the request, which Brown says he did not do.
Brown said the interim county administrator ordered the HR director to forward the inquiry to then-county attorney Scott Bennett.
The other ethics violation dealt with a letter Brown wrote to the Georgia attorney general inquiring about whether the county could legally sue itself, which former commissioner Robert Horgan insisted was a violation of the county's attorney client privilege and also improperly disclosed matters discussed in executive (closed) session.
Brown contended that for numerous reasons he did not trust advice on the proposed lawsuit given by county attorney Bennett, therefore he felt obligated to seek further counsel — particularly to protect himself from liability. While all three ethics board members agreed Brown should have the ability to seek such legal counsel, they said the ethics ordinance needed to be rewritten to allow such.
The 2-1 votes that Brown violated the ethics ordinance on both counts were favored by ethics board members Scott Rowland and Sheila Huddleston with ethics board member Larris Marks voting against.
Horgan filed both ethics complaints against Brown in November before Horgan left office.
It also was revealed tonight that Horgan filed a new ethics complaint against Brown Jan. 22 on the basis that Brown ordered the county marshal's office to conduct an investigation into former county attorney Bennett wiping the hard drives of his county owned office computer and laptop computer.
Brown said during the hearing that he thinks Bennett violated Georgia's open records law by wiping the data from the hard drive.
Comm Brown has made a career bad mouthing officals far and wide. His favorite cry is pointing out the ethical lapses of his targets.
Pompous and arrogant, he does not thinkthat these rules should apply to him.
I ask, why not ? SHould those who beat the drum of ethical purity be willing to walk that walk ad talk that talk ?
And if this comment has any kernel of fact, then should that same person, when lapses occur be held to the highest standards?
And shouldn't that same person be held accountable for said lapses, he as he seeks to hold every official far and wide accountable for what they think do and say ?
So enough of the pious preaching to the electorate. We do not need to be preached to. We had responsible competent representation, not the nearly universal soap opera crap that passes for governemtn in these parts.
The best defense is a good offence and the Fayette commissioners have been practicing that for some years now. Steve Brown will shake out the cobweb. Brown was 100% in the right for asking that the wiping out of infor on a county computer be looked into. Horgan filed ethics charges because it is another attempt to cover up. make Brown shut up, draw attention away from their usual , we will do as we please agenda. No one else trusts the local attorney and the officials, so why should Brown be any different?
Two of the three tribunal votes were against Mr. Brown. Those votes were cast by Chairperson Sheila Huddleston and voting member, Scott Rowland, both appointed by former commissioners Horgan, Hearn, and Frady. Since the first of the year, Horgan and Hearn have been attempting to fulfill former Commission Chairman, Herb Frady's prophesy of keeping the new commissioners under a microscope.
Ms. Huddleston and Mr. Hearn joined forces in the last commissioners election. While they attached their signs together, jointly, they only got a majority vote in one county precinct where Ms. Huddleston won that precinct. Mr. Hearn has proffered what I consider to be petty and disparaging remarks against Mr. Brown in a "Public Comment" session at a January commissioners meeting.Once he delivered his comments, he abruptly exited the meeting. The remarks he made have since been widely criticized as petty and retaliatory in many Citizen comments.
What we have here is a situation where Mr. Hearn and Ms. Huddleston linked campaign signs in the general election. Mr. Rowland Ms. Huddleston, and Mr. Dan Langford were appointed by Commissioners Frady, Horgan and Hearn to pass judgment upon Mr. Brown, who opposed the candidacy of Ms. Huddleston, Mr. Hearn, and Mr. Horgan. Mr. Horgan, who had faced major ethics charges himself, then filed ethic complaints so petty, that one of the appointed officials resigned from the Ethics committee upon his reluctance to pass judgment on another county official. He said that had he remained a Board member and voted, he would have recommended dismissing both charges. Ms. Huddleston and Mr. Rowland both voted against Mr. Brown, with the alternate member, Ms. Larris Marks voting in Mr. Brown's favor.
Here we have another instance where the three amigos, who never voted against one another while serving with Messrs. Brown and McCarty, got it done their way. If the way the Ethics Hearing was conducted doesn't create the appearance of a conflict of interest, what does?
At a minimum, Ms. Huddleston should have recused herself because of demonstrated political opposition to the current Administration and her previously demonstrated alliance with ousted candidate Hearn.
This Ethics hearing against Brown was criticized as poorly conducted by several individuals who spoke during Public Comments at the January 24 Commissioners meeting.
Sorta reminds me of a District Attorney appointing jury members.
The people appointed to the ethics board were just that, appointed because they want to serve or were asked to serve. Whether they were political alias or just worthy citizens, it doesn't matter. The method of appointment can be changed or the present commissioners can appoint thier people if and when the time comes. If I am not mistaken, during elections, one of the perceived faults of Ms. Huddleston was that she did not have a long record of public service. Well there she was becoming involved. If you don't like the outcome, you can certainly disagree, but she felt she went by the book. Can you really say that this is "revenge". Come on, any sensible person knew that the worst he was going to get was a slap on the wrist.
Most people have a love/hate relationship with Mr. Brown. Can you explain why this is?
I tend to agree that our Ethics Board should not be appointed by the BOC.
Steve Brown represented himself extremely well during the hearing last night. Fayette citizens would be very surprised to hear all of the whys and wherefores that he cited to justify his actions.
During the hearing, Robert Horgan said that Steve Brown "ordered" the HR director "to inquire with the Georgia attorney general about a question dealing with the hiring of a new county administrator." It was stated last night that Mr. Brown's email asked the HR director "would you mind" contacting the Georgia attorney general. To my way of thinking, "would you mind" isn't a suggestion, request, demand, or order. "Would you mind" is a question that gives the person on the other end the choice... an option. The HR director could have said, "I would rather not."
That whole scenario was cooked up from the time Lee Hearn presented Commissioner Elect Randy Ognio with a list of applicants to fill the county administrator position. It was all set into play when Herb Frady told Mr. Ognio and the other commissioners elect to go forward and hire the new county administrator. It was also during that same commission meeting that Mr. Frady told the commissioners elect that they would be under the "big microscope."
Those are the kinds of political games (double talk) we have been fighting for many years. I have been sitting in commission meetings for more than four years watching as Scott Bennett and Jack Krakeel manipulated issues to suit Frady, Horgan, and Hearn. It was extremely obvious. During one of those meetings Chairman Frady asked Attorney Bennett to cite just cause why a new legislative bill couldn't be used to divert funds from the West Bypass to more pressing problems like replacing culverts under collapsing roads. Bennett hemmed and hawed looking for the information. Krakeel came to the rescue by looking hither and yon for the information. Finally Krakeel came up with an answer that suited Frady, Horgan, and Hearn, and the funds stayed with the WFB.
As for Mr. Horgan's other complaint against Mr. Brown last night, who among us would sit by and watch as an injustice (crime?) was being committed and not report it to a higher authority? If we didn't, could we be charged with aiding and abetting, withholding evidence, or being an accomplice?
Steve Brown represented himself extremely well during the hearing last night. Fayette citizens would be very surprised to hear all of the whys and wherefores that he cited to justify his actions.
I'll take your word on that. Last meeting, he conducted himself like an immature brat and someone who needed to be told to SHUT UP and stop interrupting.
During the hearing, Robert Horgan said that Steve Brown "ordered" the HR director "to inquire with the Georgia attorney general about a question dealing with the hiring of a new county administrator." It was stated last night that Mr. Brown's email asked the HR director "would you mind" contacting the Georgia attorney general. To my way of thinking, "would you mind" isn't a suggestion, request, demand, or order. "Would you mind" is a question that gives the person on the other end the choice... an option. The HR director could have said, "I would rather not."
Have u seen this email that you are talking about or are you simply taking Brown's word as gospel as you do 100% of the time without any hesitation?
I've seen the email and if I was in the position as HR Dir and got this from Brown, yeah, it would be a real problem. The HR Dir does not work for the county commissioners and they are NOT supposed to be making "requests" to county staff. That's why you have a county manager, whether a particular elected official like Brown likes it or not.
As for Mr. Horgan's other complaint against Mr. Brown last night, who among us would sit by and watch as an injustice (crime?) was being committed and not report it to a higher authority? If we didn't, could we be charged with aiding and abetting, withholding evidence, or being an accomplice?
Brown is likely right in this regard, but again, that had NOTHING to do with the other ethics charges that frankly I thought he was guilty of one rather obviously, and the other two, maybe not so much. If he could have SHUT HIS MOUTH for a few minutes when his arch-nemesis boogeyman Langford was trying to get all of the charges tossed, he probably would have seen a better outcome than being found rightfully guilty and also rightfully not punished besides "don't do it again, moron."
Time to just shut up and govern. Deal with the facts, not emotions. When you have someone whose never done crap in their life besides sit around the house firing off letters or being an elected politician, this is what you get. Complete immaturity and the adoration of some who worship letters to the editors and yapping.
I don't think the scenario was cooked up. Mr. Hearn presented the applicants. It was assumed that the new commissioners elect and returning commissioners would still follow protocal, which reguired notification of the public when they reviewed the applicants. They failed to follow the rules, intentional or not, they still erred. Mr. Fradys comment, in my belief, was a warning that people are watching. Just like you watched him like a hawk.
Horgans complaint about the computers is hogwash. What Bennett and Krakeel did was wrong and they probably are hiding something. What I would like to see is county communication that may have taken place utilizing thier personal email accounts. Now that would be interesting.
The group that serves on the ethics board will possibly one day be judge and jury to those that appointed them. The vote last night went right along the lines of who appointed each member or that person had a big influence on their being on the ethics board.
It is my opinion that a citizens group should be appointed by our Superior Court Judges. People interested should send in a resume, and if necessary have a personal interview. This removes politics from the process.
Until the selection process is changed, the end result will always be subject to question.
I agree last nights vote was exactly along the lines of who supported who during recent political campaigns. I also agree 100%, a Citizens Group should be appointed for the County Ethics Committee. But there again, Judges and Attorneys are politicians and involving them in this process in not productive. Make a public announcement for those interested in forming an ethics committee to apply. Treat it as you would for a jury when selecting the foreman of a jury. Let the citizens decide by a vote (raise of hands or paper ballot) who is in and who is out. Citizens need to be involved locally in every aspect of community business. This is how we maintain oversight in local operations and take our country back; begin locally! We must stop giving our control and rights away!
This current Ethics Board should be disolved and replaced with three attornies that are not connected politically. Forsyth County recently made that change and was well recieved by the voting public. This current Board consists of a member who just ran and lost her bid for Commissioner and was connected with the campaigns of HORGAN and HEARN. This was not a group that did not have a strong dislike for Steve Brown. Could she be fair in judging Mr. Brown concerning a complaint filed by Mr. Horgan??? Mr. Rowland was having trouble with the word "request" and wanted to create his own definition. It reminds me of a past President who questiioned what the definition of is , is. Ethical behavior is important to good government. Petty politics by a losing candidate should not have a place at the table. I think we can improve the Ethics Board and make it more professional with a new format.
You must be kidding! No more attorneys needed in the citizens business! You only give your power away to the injustice of the systems upon us. You have the capability to determine what is lawful or unlawful. The average citizen is more than capable to sit on a county ethics committee, a county grand jury, a review board of any kind! Ethics is everybodys business! Please stop giving your power away!!!
A little over four years ago, a handful of folks realized that the citizens of Fayette County were being scammed by some of our public officials. The more we uncovered, the more determined we became to put an end to what was going on.
Everyone who has been working to clean up our local government knew what last night's decision by the Ethics Board would be.
Steve Brown and Larris Marks were the two most composed and professional people in the commission room last night. Steve Brown was composed because he and many others knew that he had taken the responsible steps to protect the interests of all Fayette citizens. Ms. Marks was composed because she is a professional.
Former Commissioner Robert Horgan sat with a smirk on his face the entire time.
Former County Attorney Scott Bennett lost his cool all over the place when information concerning his actions were presented to the public and Ethics Board.
Not only did we know the outcome of last night's hearing, we expected there would be the usual derogatory comments here.
Spy, what would you have done if you discovered that a former employee had taken the hard drive from his county issued computer and had wiped it clean?
What would you have done if you found out that one former employee gave another former employee permission to take the hard drive and wipe it when he didn't have the authority to give that permission?
Horgan's ethics complaints are just more of the same old stuff that has been going on for many years. All the folks who were put out of office, retired, or lost their jobs are disgruntled former employees of Fayette County and they don't like it one little bit.
Steve Brown walked out of the hearing last night with his head up, as well he should have. He had nothing to be ashamed of.
Stve Brown made a complete ass out of himself last week when Dan Langsford was trying to get the charges against Brown dismissed by interrupting him 3 times when he's trying to speak. Typical Brown and the typical Brown apologists could care less about anything besides Brown being God instead of questioning perhaps that maybe he steps way across the line?
Oh yeah, what do you think of Brown's diatribe about district voting published here? None of you acolytes will ever comment on that? Afraid to anger a deity or something?
I was originally skeptical and thought Mr. Brown may have overstepped his boundaries, but after reading what the Brooks Mayor had to say the other night, swayed my opinion of the situation.
Mr. Brown knows that he stepped on a lot of toes to get his friends elected and yes, it may have affected the vote last night. Mr. Brown is also intelligent enough to realize that any result of the hearing would be nothing more than a slap on the wrist.
I find it quite interesting when you said that Mr. Bennett lost his cool last night when his actions were questioned. Someone who does his job well and has nothing to hide would not lose thier cool in this type of proceeding. Starting to wonder even more, what he is hiding and why he may be fighting to surpress.
Time will tell
Last night's ethics hearing had nothing to do with wiped hard drives but rather the 3 charges already filed that were heard last night and were filed before the hard drive incidents.
The wiped hard drive fiasco is a separate issue that will be heard later.
Brown has always lied with the greatest of ease. He doesn't know when you shut up. He brought some guy there as a character witness. What a joke. The citizens of PTC know his character. This is just the beginning of Brown's out of order behavior as CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNTY. Give him time and all in the county will know what we in PTC found out about him. He is BAD NEWS.
SB not being ethical.
Let the show begin.
Brown's defense is that Bennett is a crook.
They Board is saying Brown was guilty of violating the Ethics Ordinance, but he should be allowed to do so, so the solution is to not punish him and rewrite the ordinance to allow him to do what he did, so next time it will be legal. Huh?
See if that's what you get out of this -"While all three ethics board members agreed Brown should have the ability to seek such legal counsel, they said the ethics ordinance needed to be rewritten to allow such."
Next time I get stopped for speeding, i'm going to say that I have studied the traffic on this street for years and determined that everyone speeds and since there have been no accidents, I am comfortable driving at a higher speed.
And why are you investigating Brown who wants to investigate Bennett? Brown may be a lot of things, but Bennett is the one who wiped his data.
Regardless of Horgan's motivation or anyone's personal like or dislike of any particular commissioner, those ethics rules and sunshine laws are there for a good reason. Be glad that the only result was a slap on the wrist. These charges sometimes end up in court and cost all county taxpayers money. While this episode is somewhat embarassing for Brown, it is good for the commissioners to be reminded of their legal limitations and the manner in which Fayette County government is designed to run. If they don't want a county administrator or manager form of government, they can petition the state for a change so that they can run all day to day operations, which usually results in a mess in a county the size of Fayette. This was a "no harm, no foul" reminder to the BOC that the citizens expect the highest level of performance from the highest level of power....even if it was an ousted commissioner that did the reminding.
What I have learned from the FC Ethics Board?
An elected official, appointed official or county employee is "not allowed" to share/report suspected unlawful behaviors to anyone EXCEPT the commissioners. UUUmmmmm? The misplaced attitudes of Rowland, Huddleston, Horgan and Bennett are quite obvious.
We have placed a 2-foot by 10inch metal question mark (?) emblem above the garage door in our home. You can't miss it as you enter and leave the home. We tell all who travel through, if in doubt, to always "question" everything in your path!!
The next FC Ethics Board meeting will take place in a month - hope to see you there!
There appears to be some serious character issues with the current "Ethics Board?"
Ms.Huddleston seems to have the same attitude as previous county commission ignore the citizens! I would like to remind Ms. Huddleston that with the attitude she displayed tonight it will be very difficult to win a commissoin seat in 2014!
As for Mayor Dan Langford he is not only a man of character and integrity but also a very wise man.
Enough already with the ethics charges!! Let this new board of commissioners govern and stop the pettiness. If they do not govern the way you want, then vote them out.
Horgan needs to stick it in his bong and smoke it.
Is he going to waste more of the commissioners time with these petty charges?
Krakeel and Bennett had no right to clean their computers like they did. I am wondering what both were hiding. Could get real interesting if they could somehow subpoena their personal email accounts that deal with county business.
Horgan doesn't seem to want to go away gracefully.
Your character is showing.
Don't you need to find a new line of work or do you still own that transmission shop that Fayette taxpayers patronize?

This product was perfect for traveling, even though my daughter's feet looked too small in those big sandals. But she felt comfortable.

Comments about PSYCLONE 2 K'S:
My son has extremely wide feet and it is challenging finding sandals that don't pinch his skin. The design is brilliant and easy for kids to manage because the Velcro lays on top so it doesn't squeeze any part of his foot. I would assume that if a child had a normal size foot these would work just as well since the design allows you to tighten them up.

I know this may be a little early to be asking rules questions, but I'm going to do it anyway.
Swarm Tactics reads "At the start of the Combat Phase, choose 1 friendly ship at Range 1. Until the end of this phase, treat the chosen ship as if its pilot skill were equal to your pilot skill."
My question is:
My squad includes Wedge, Luke, and Biggs. Wedge and Luke both have Swarm Tactics (ST). At the beginning of the Combat Phase, can I use Wedge's ST to make Luke a 9 PS, and then Luke's ST to make Biggs a 9 PS? Just wondering if you can chain them together like this. I would think so, but I'm curious what the official ruling would be.

Well, the longer the 0x5CD is on my 3 HR24-500s, the less happy I am with it. When I got it, all was good. Plenty fast, no or little remote ignoring and I was happy. Now that I've had it since 5/5/2012, issues are starting to come up.
1. Speed is still very good - happy about that
2. Remote response/ignoring - unfortunately, this is starting again. Not quite as bad as with 0x59E, but bad.
3. Video/Audio glitches - not happy Happening all to much from both live and recorded events on nearly any channel. But it isn't consistent which is also an irritant.
HR24-100 05cd
1. Yes
2. Not having this issue using RF fixed it for me
3. Having this issue as well

(Attica, OH) Sprint car teams competing at Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway this weekend – Friday, Aug. 3 and Saturday, Aug. 4 – will be allowed to use any brand of front tires.
Sprint teams will, however, still be required to use Goodyear tires on both the right rear and left rear corners of their cars.
Fremont Speedway Promoter Rich Farmer said sprint teams will be able to use any brand of front tire the remainder of 2012 at Fremont.
"We continue to monitor the tire situation and are in constant contact with the speed shops and Goodyear," said Farmer.

Adobe Acrobat Reader/Acrobat are programs for viewing and editing Portable Document Format (PDF) documents. For more information, see the vendor's site found at the following link.
http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/ http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/
Remote exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability in multiple versions of Adobe Systems Inc's Reader and Acrobat PDF reader and processor could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user.
The vulnerability occurs when parsing a FlateDecode filter inside a PDF file. FlateDecode is a filter for data compressed with zlib deflate compression method. Several parameters can be specified for the FlateDecode filter. Those values are used in an arithmetic operation that calculates the number of bytes to allocate for a heap buffer. This calculation can overflow, which results in an undersized heap buffer being allocated. This buffer is then overflowed with data decompressed from the FlateDecode stream. This leads to a heap-based buffer overflow that can result in arbitrary code execution.
Exploitation of this vulnerability allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening the file. The attacker will have to create a malicious PDF file and convince the victim to open it. This can be accomplished by embedding the PDF file into an IFRAME inside of a Web page, which will result in automatic exploitation once the page is viewed. The file could also be e-mailed as an attachment or placed on a file share. In these cases, a user would have to manually open the file to trigger exploitation. If preview is enable in Windows Explorer, this vulnerability can be triggered simply by accessing a folder containing PDF files.
Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Professional versions 7.1.0, 8.1.3, 9.0.0 and prior versions are vulnerable.
None of the following workarounds will prevent exploitation, but they can reduce potential attack vectors and make exploitation more difficult.
Adobe has released a patch which addresses this issue. For more information, consult their advisory (APSB09-07) at the following URL:
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2009-1856 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems.

Customer Reviews
- Excellent Review by Christina
Price Value Quality Great products. Helps my KP look a lot better.
- AMAZING PRODUCT! Review by Karma74
Price Value Quality I have not bought this set....I only bought the moisturizing therapy. This product is amazing, so, i'm looking forward to buying the set for better results. I am 37 yrs. old and have suffered embarrassment and discomfort through the years with KP. Since I started using this product I have never been more happy to wear tank tops and sleeveless shirt, which I never did before. I no longer have people asking me what's wrong with my arms. I had a cabinet full of cremes and lotions promising great results to no avail, until now.
- AMAZING!!! Review by Paige
Price Value Quality I am 23 have been suffering from KP since middle school. I was told by dermatologists that there were medications that could mildly treat it but I would probably have this until it slowly went away by my 40s or 50s.
I was approached by a woman at Sephora telling me about KP Duty and I tried a sample in the store and found immediate results. It is definitely expensive, but so worth it. Just use a little at a time, a little goes a long way! I've done the scrub once and other two once daily and my KP is almost GONE!
I definitely recommend this product! - Good Product Review by Janice
Price Value Quality I have used only the scrub and lotion with very good results. I have the best results when using daily. The price is way too high, it seems to me, but I continue to buy it due to fantastic results. I have not used the serum since it is so new, but plan to try it.
- Fantastic! Review by Deli
Quality Price Value I have suffered from keratosis Polaris for over 40 years. I used prescription medication and it helped but nothing like these products. I use all three in conjunction with my prescription medication and the results are unbelievable! I finally can wear sleeveless tops without being asked about "the rash" on my arms. The products are a bit pricey but since I use just a small amount they do last a long time. Thank you!
- Very Poor Results Review by Amy
Quality Price Value I have been using all three products for over a month now and I have used all products as prescribed. I use the primer and lotion 2x per day, and I use the scrub once a week. My arms have actually gotten more red and irritated and I spend little time in the sun. I am so disappointed, because I truly thought this product would resolve my long-term problem of KP. I would not recommend this product to anyone!!
- Awesome product! Review by Colleen
Quality Price Value My daughter, 11 has had keratosis piloris for years. We have tried everything from Cetaphil to prescription, AmLactin and nothing has really worked. I bought this trio a week ago and we noticed a marked difference after just one day. She has been using it twice a day for a week and couldn't be happier. This is worth the money and it works most importantly!!
- SO. AWESOME. Review by Anna
Quality Price Value Allow me to preface by saving that I did not buy this specific item number... I bought the parts of the trio separately so that I could buy the supersized lotion. I just had to review the products as a whole, though: I have had serious KP on my upper arms my whole life, and this regimen took it almost completely away in LESS THAN A DAY.
I used all three items last night, and then the primer and the lotion this morning... There are still a few spots, but they are a much lighter color (slight pink as opposed to an angry red). And there are NO BUMPS at all. My skin is completely smooth.
It is quite pricey, especially if you buy the big lotion instead, but you really don't need to use very much (I used pea sized amounts of each product on each arm, maybe less of the scrub). It should last awhile, so I really feel like it's worth the investment.
I am never, ever motivated to write reviews, but when a product solves a super annoying problem that I have had for decades in less than a day, I think it warrants some special attention. Thank you SO much, DermaDoctor!!!

Originally a weekend pastime for founder Shashi Reddy and his wife, Case-Mate has blossomed into one of the world's leading mobile accessories brands. The Reddys launched Case-Mate in 2005 with a fairly straightforward goal: to create super-stylish tech accessories that combined expert engineering and cutting-edge materials. They succeeded: Today, Case-Mate's award-winning, fashion-forward product line includes brightly colored iPhone cases and tablet covers embellished with animal prints, glitter, and other attention-grabbing designs. Models like the Phantom and Tank iPhone cases offer military-grade protection in bright colors such as turquoise and tangerine.

Regardless of color or style, every Case-mate accessory has enough personality to stand on its own.

Hot Hipster Messy Look for Men with Long Hair
Judging from the way he projects, he is not a metro sexual man but that doesn't mean he lacks taste in hairstyle. This hairdo is a derivative of James Dean's infamous pompadour but the fringe is brushed up and backward instead of upward. Unlike Dean's clean cut frame, this one has long layers mildly stretching to the neck. A little hair polish or gloss will add shine and deepen the brown color. You can use pomade if you really are Dean die-hard but gel is actually enough to hold the sides in place.
