Your generosity lead to over $18k in donations that will go to your neighbors in need via the incredible services of the Salvation Army. From all of us at 100.7 Star, you are truly an inspiration.
Man In A Box
It can be easy to forget that homelessness is a daily reality for many people. As we are preparing menus for family dinners, too many other families are having to choose between buying food or shivering in the cold. Too often, when we see a homeless person on the streets, we want to look the other way. The unfortunate truth is that there are many more homeless families who remain unseen.
The 'Man in a Box' event is designed to shine a light on the dark reality of homelessness in Western Pennsylvania. All year, The Salvation Army feeds homeless families and their children to help break the cycle of poverty. 100.7 Star is helping The Salvation Army to raise awareness.
On February 25, 26 and 27, 100.7 Star's Flick will live outside at PPG Place, adjacent to Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh– experiencing the hardships of living homeless first hand.
He will have minimal shelter and heat, no water and only the same food provided to the homeless by The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services program to homeless individuals in our area every day.
The goal is to provide awareness as well as raise funds to help support the Red Shield Campaign which benefits Emergency Disaster, Family Caring Center and Comprehensive Social Service, all of which play a role in assisting the homeless.
Please help the Salvation Army continue to provide these programs:
- serve the homeless by providing food and overnight lodging
- provide educational, counseling and vocational services to homeless and destitute individuals and families for extended periods
- address long-term specific issues of youth for whom family care is undesirable or unavailable
- address specific health or societal driven needs of particular populations
- empower homeless providing skills necessary for independent living

Please join The Salvation Army on the front lines of compassion, fighting the good fight against despair. Your contribution is an investment in futures, because what it ultimately provides is a sense of hope for those who have none.

Canker Cover is a small pill-like patch which sticks to the ulcer within seconds and lasts 6 – 8 hours. The patch seals and isolates the mouth ulcer from contact with the tongue, teeth, food and toxins that may accumulate in the mouth. It also has breath freshening properties. Canker Cover instantly soothes the pain and releases natural food grade ingredients which reduce inflammation and speed healing. Most canker sores are healed with just one patch.
In a clinical study involving 248 participants, Canker Cover reduced the average duration of canker sores from 9.5 days to just 1.5 days. In the same study, 60% of canker sores were completely healed within a day. Although "menthol" is the FDA approved "active ingredient", mineral salt and citrus oil (listed under "inactive ingredients") help speed healing, according to the scientists who conducted the Canker Cover study.
Size: 6 covers per box
I have used this product a handful of times over the years with moderate success. Several times, the sore healed after using 1-2 discs. Several times, the inside of the sore was gone, but the area was still a bit sensitive. The last time I used it, I had an allergic reaction and lots of little bumps developed underneath the disc. If this is the only thing you can find to use, use it. But, I would suggest using something else.
By Rachel from TN on 05-19-12
I have tried literally everything... Baking soda, peroxide, salt water, all of it and non worked.. This product works like a charm.. This was my first canker sore and I couldnt take the pain no more.. This is the best product to have if u have a canker sore.. I love it.. It healed my sore n a day and a half..literally..
By Michelle from Illinois on 09-16-11
My daughter had two canker sores in her mouth. Put one on each. I expected them to disolve. Instead she had a mouth with two tablet size "covers" that fell off within 10 minutes. I paid $12.99 for a box of six at our local pharmacy. Very disappointed.
By Kim from Illinois on 09-12-11
Adults & children 5 years of age and older: Place the Canker Cover patch on a clean, dry finger with the white side up, then place and hold the white side on the sore for 20 seconds. Within 30 minutes the patch becomes gel-like. It absorbs fluids from the sore as part of the healing process and expands slightly. The patch will stick to the affected area and cover the sore for 6 - 8 hours and then dissolve. Do not remove patch before it dissolves.
Apply additional patches as needed. Canker Cover also contains natural, breath-freshening ingredients.

As your friendly neighborhood college student, I feel obligated to keep all the wonderful readers of Girls Just Wanna Have Guns up to date on the newest designer drugs. If you, like me have made the masochistic mistake to keep up with current events over the last few months, you may need a pick me up. Drug dealers are hard to come by for many, and dark alley ways and dive bar bathrooms can be scary places. So to make it easy, I am going to tell you an easy, cheap way to make your own cough syrup cocktail using only house hold ingredients, such as Skittles and Ice Tea!
The drink is called lean, or purple drank. It originated in Houston, Texas, several years ago, and has become a cult favorite ever since. It is very popular in the hip hop community, and has been glorified by many famous rap stars such as Lil' Wayne. The concoction is given its name by its deep purple color and rich syrupy bouquet.
To make purple drank, you'll first want to get some Promethazine with Codeine. For those unfamiliar with the proper chemical names of things, Promethazine with Codeine is simply a prescription cough syrup.
Pro Tip: Make sure you go the extra mile to get the prescription cough syrup for your drink. The over the counter stuff simply won't cut it for the seasoned homemade drug cocktail connoisseur, and will not produce the same effects. While it is more difficult to obtain, the quality of your drink will make it worth the extra effort.
The final ingredients for purple drank can be found in most homes, gas stations, and vending machines. All you need is some sort of soft drink, and a candy flavor additive. Here is where you can really get creative with your recipe. You can use almost anything to make purple drank, so try mixing and matching soda and candy combinations until you find what is right for you. While Jolly Ranchers are traditionally used in the production of purple drank, substituting it for something like Skittles can put a new twist on an old favorite. Same goes for the drink, anything from Sprite to Ice Tea should do the trick.
Helpful tip: If you fulfill your prescription for cough syrup at a grocery store, you don't need to make an extra stop to pick up your soft drink and candy.
Mix in a cup until viscous and purple, and you're ready to get high! If this is your first time using purple drank, you might want to take it slow. Purple Drank causes motor skills impermanent, lethargy, and a dissociative feeling from all other parts of the body.
Fun Fact: Trayvon Martin walked a mile in the pouring rain to pick up his bag of skittles and can of tea.
Fun Analysis: Isn't it amazing the lengths some people go to satisfy their sweet tooth? In fact, I once crawled over six miles of broken glass and hot sauce to get a milky way and a thimble full of Pepsi.
Funner Fact: There are several Facebook messages from Trayvon Martin asking his friends if they could get him a prescription for Codeine.
Funner Analysis: While this certainly doesn't prove anything about Mr. Trayvon Martin, it sure gives us reason to step back and think.

Could have mislabels? The tall one is Minerva and the short one red lion but the buds look the same to me. They came from wal-mart so I am expecting mislabels. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You're right..they look the same to me too! Anyway they look healthy so that's half the battle..keep us posted when they open..looks like it's gonna be twins!! Donna |
I'd say twin cubs! K |
Here is a pic of the bloom opening up this morning. It is definitely a mislabel from wal-mart. Its not a red lion nor Minerva. What is it? This is without a flash. |
Gee you lucked out! It's very pretty! I've got a no-id pink that I bought years ago and it looks very similar to yours..so is this the one you've got two of? |
Well the other bud on the other plant hasn't opened up yet but I think it is the same. What do u think it is? |
Those white tips on each petal should offer some hint!! Hmmm....Emaryllis.com has an extensive photo library that's good for searching for unknowns.... I like pink!! |
Thanks...I am gonna go check it out |
It looks like to me Cantate "03". Can anyone confirm this for me? |
Well I forced it to open up a bit...tore one of the petals trying to do it so don't think I will be doing that again. Wanted to take a better pic to post. It looks more red in this pic than the other ones....do they change colors some what as they open up? |
I have several that have that lighter stripe in the middle of each petal. There's a post going on right now about H. Desire....could this be that same bloom?? K |
I don't think its ...mine is a pink/red color as of right now with a small white star in its throat. |
Depending on the true color it could be several varieties.. when you post a picture with the truest color let us know which one it is..the first one was pink much different than the last... I'm liking the first color best so far... |
I will try to take a picture of it outside but it is raining right now here in south alabama |
check out Amigo....very common box-kit bulb! K |
I purchased this under the name "Cantate" - this is a very robust Hybrid. "Once you got it you will have it forever" "Cantate" Together with "UnderTheLadder" (Right Side) |
Cantate look like a match!! K |
I see what you mean by once you have it you'll have it forever..just look at all those bulbs in that pot!! |
To my untrained eye both Amigo and Cantate-03 could be possible candidates. Very nice flower and of great color, congrats! |
Thanks! Now if I can just figure out which one...but I do have an Amigo that I bought in a box kit and it is about to bloom so maybe I can go by that unless it is a mislabel. I had what was suppose to be red lion bloom today and it is also a mislabel and it is exactly the same bloom as the other one. Geez! |

that should have been a little under halfway. Generosity seems impossible without spending money.
Unless you are extremely organised and get many people to send you roses each day you will not reach the required amount for a prize. I was second (maybe third in the end) on my server with around 460 – a little over halfway to getting a prize. Another rip-off by youjoy.

Chester Francis-Jackson, Gleaner Writer
It was the most anticipated party of the season - 'It' being attorney Harold Brady's annual birthday celebrations and Brady family get-together, hosted at his Cherry Gardens residence, in St Andrew. When it unfolded, it was as fabulous and beautiful as was expected and justified its billing.
And luvs, make no mistake about it, as this was all that and then some. It started at 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 1, as a sort of garden party and by late evening, changed social gear to become one fabulously exciting do with some of this here island's leading citizens in attendance.
Dears, it was clearly a multi-layered party, as Brady's birthday was the primary reason for the celebration. Second, it was also a gathering of the Brady clan in a family reunion as in years past saw members of the family journeying from all over the globe for this annual shindig. And then there was the St Mary factor - with the Bradys hailing from that parish, the occasion was also a celebration of the fellow distinguished sons and daughters, who hail from the parish.
Political power-player
It was all that and then some as added to the mix were friends and colleagues of the host, who apart from being one of the island's leading attorneys in respect of telephony, is a leading political power-player and a leading socialite.
Well my dears, it was all that and then some as the grounds and balcony of the residence were transformed from their cosy living mood to a fab garden, complete with strobe lighting that amplified the beauty of the towering fruit trees that dot the well-kept lawns. The back of the residence, the mini-mounted cannon and flowering orchids, spatial ferns and deftly placed café style accent tables, completed the picture-perfect decor! And with the balcony overlooking the business and commercial district of Kingston, transformed into a cosy lounge, complete with its own bar, you know we are talking style perfect here!
Food stations offered the very best in traditional Jamaican fare early in the afternoon and then later, the most scrumptious Chinese fare, ringed the lawns, in truly elegant mode, while the main bar that dominated the entertainment area, was only a short walk away from the well-laid-out dance floor. And with the bartenders serving up some fab martinis and other choice libations, it made for the perfect party atmosphere!
My daahlings with all else in place, y'all know that there was one all important ingredient needed to make it happen and pumpkins, the fates obliged. The music was perfect as musicologist Richard Clarke rose to the occasion and give the guests just what they wanted - dance-inspiring music and for my word, how!
My dears, the old, young, fab and studious, the quoted and often misquoted, all took to the dance floor and partied up a whale of a good time!

In 1991 Savimbi agreed to participate in free multiparty elections, but after losing he resumed his military campaign. A peace accord (1994) and later agreements (1996) permitted UNITA to join a coalition government; many of the agreements' measures were carried out under UN auspices, but Savimbi declined to become vice president, and violence continued until his death. UNITA signed a peace agreement in April 2002.

Stunning! I absolutely love the medicine cabinets, both the corner and the uplift. I did not know there was such a thing as an uplift medicine cabinet...now I MUST have one, LOL! The finishes are beautiful together! Enjoy!! |

Oh my that is a gorgeous, luxurious bathroom! The marble is simply stunning. I love the floating vanities and all of the great storage. Is that a PB Clarissa over your tub? You must be in love with your beautiful space! |
Had to look over multiple times as it is stunning! The corner medicine cabinet is a great idea. Love your marble and I'm having serious envy about your tub. Can I make my reservation now? Enjoy! |
This is a beautiful job, using creativity and great materials too. Have many years of trouble free and soothing experiences. |

Gorgeous! I love the clean-lined aesthetic. Your tub deck makes it look like a very luxe hotel. Nice, Nice, Nice. Enjoy!!! |
Thank you everyone for the compliments. The chandelier is Crystalrama, purchased on line through One Kings Lane. |
I love it! Luxurious and simple at the same time! I would love to see a layout of your bathroom... and how wide are are vanity drawers? We are also having a custom made vanity with drawers only, and it looks like yours may be the same size. (I see by relooking at your photos, that you have two vanities with drawers---are they both the same size?) |
Thank you. My husband's vanity is 42in. and Mine is the L shape, a little bigger, 43 in drawer, 45 in wide vanity. |
Have you used that tub yet? Which model is it? Looks very much like what we plan to do with our tub. My plans have been delayed, but I hope to get going again soon. |
lascatx, finally got to use the tub! It is Jason , air masseur, forma , rectangle, 60 in long. I got to sit in it at the showroom but it was the 72 in one. The 66 x 36 x 22 in. 1.5 lip, undermount. The interior of the tub is 60 in and is perfect for me as my feet rest at the other end which stops me from sliding down and keeps me positioned upright. Very deep and plenty room. I didn't have to fill it as high as I did in my soaking tub that it replaced because the bubbles make the water rise. I was pleasantly surprised that the blowers warm the water and keep the temperature hot throughout the duration of the bath. My old tub would get cool quick and I'd have to run hot water if I soaked long. I have the standard control, no Chromo lighting. There is a full setting which is full force bubbles, another lighter setting for waves. The lighter setting I find more relaxing. I have never owned a jet tub, but the air tub does not have the jet force directed on a specific body part like in a hot tub. If your husband wants the jet force on his lower back or to put your feet up on the jet than the whirlpool bath would be for you. There was no difficulty with the install. |
Absolutely gorgeous! Did you design the space yourself or have help designing and choosing materials, etc? What type of contractor did the actual work? I'm in the planning stages now and am inspired by your design and finishes! |
That does sound like one we are looking at -- either in 66 or 72 length. And I want to undermount it -- probably in marble or something similar. I am tall, so interior length is one of the deciding factors. DH has never really liked the whirlpool jets. They are too much for him. I have some neck problems and while part of me likes the idea of the massage jets and even the neck pillow with jets on some of the tubs, the best you can do is have jets where you think you will most likely need them and still try to be leaning or twisting to hit some spot a scooch over or wish there wasn't one where it annoys you the rest of the time. I think the bubbles will be fine and relaxing, especially with the warmed blowers they have now. My whirlpool cools the water so fast! We will both enjoy that feature. Thanks for sharing your experience. |
Wow that's beautiful! Another inspiration to add to my folder! |
Pixe1, I had used a designer. A GC that I had used previously handled the demo and redesign and subs. The designer brought in the marble installers for the counter and floor/walls. I am in South Fl is anyone wants referrals. |
Would it be possible to get some more info about your marble tile? The Thassos: is that the pure white and did you order it from a regular tile store and could you give me an idea of the sq ft. price. If not a tile store, could you tell me where you sourced it? Love the light fixture. Did not know that 1 KL had the Chrystalrama Calypso! It is about $900 at lighting shops or on line. Wish I had seen that, too. Enjoy your beautiful bath. |
ctkathy, the chandelier cost 399.00 through One Kings Lane back in Nov. It was called the Casey chandelier 12 inches. THe paper work with it is exactly the calypso. I was lucky to buy it then and happy it worked out over the tub. If it didn't work out there I would install it in the bedroom. I purchased a second three light chandelier from OKL by cystalrama for the bedroom. The white thasso is from a marble dealer, that also carries the large floor tiles. I would suggest to you to buy it local where you can inspect the tiles to make sure they are pure white, and hire a marble installer and not anyone without marble experience. The white thasso marble tiles were prepared first with a white layer mud under each tile so when set in the thin set doesn't bleed dark into the tile. The installation cost more than installing tile. If you are in So Fl would be happy to email you more details. |

Hi Sofia, Your bathroom is stunning. I also live in South Fl, Jupiter to be exact, and the picture of the Jason tub you posted looked like the one at Miller hardware. I have found your reviews so helpful and am happy to hear you are pleased with your tub.. can I ask where you purchased it, and if you shop it at all. Love the marble have found a couple of slabs I love and now working on tile. Your bathroom has been a wonderful inspiration, so kind of you to go to the trouble to post and offer so much info. |
el-eclectic. Thank you for your compliment. The Jason tub is from Miller. I found Miller( Lindsay assisted me) to be helpful and they have a great showroom as you know. Considering the big expense of the tub, I wanted to purchase it where they will stand behind their product and provide the assistance along the way. I had a discount with a designer. Purchased the lighting, faucets,toilet, washlet, med cabinet from them as well. I had to have a faucet cartridge replaced and another faucet had a nic which was replaced immediately with no trouble. If you have any questions, contact me. |

Update 1
The year to date: October 2000 - July 2001
The news in brief
It's been a busy year for the team since the end of the 2000 excavation, with many new developments. The finds from the dig have been the focus of conference papers, exhibitions, and analysis, whilst Mark Redknap's book on the Vikings in Wales has led to much publicity for the team's work.
And last but not least, this web site received a highly commended place at the 2000 British Archaeological Awards.
News from the team
At the beginning of June 2001 we delivered the skulls of the five burials found in 1998 and 1999 to the University of Manchester to assess their suitability for facial reconstruction. Hopefully, by next year we will be able to discover what these people looked like.
Since then I have been developing the content of a future exhibition on archaeological reconstruction, which will feature this aspect of the Llanbedrgoch project.
Earlier in July we put on display many of the finds from the excavations to coincide with the Medieval Archaeology Society's International Conference 'Viking Settlement in Britain and Ireland', hosted by Cardiff University and the National Museums & Galleries of Wales. These finds are on display at the entrance to the Medieval Archaeology Gallery.
The first day of the conference also saw the launch of my book, The Vikings in Wales, in which the site features prominently. Roger (the landowner), Archie and Pete (the site's metal detectorists) came down to Cardiff for the launch. Their visit gave us the opportunity to show them some of the recent work undertaken on the finds and data recovered from Llanbedrgoch over the previous seven years.
Roger had the chance to see what has happened to all the important objects which he usually only catches a slight glimpse of before they are whisked back to the museum to be treated.
Since then attention has turned to this year's excavation. This year we do not have a large block of students from Cardiff University and so we have been involved in actively recruiting diggers. Final preparations and gathering of equipment will soon be upon us...

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Ron Wilson gestures on the bench.
Credits: (REUTERS/Fred Thornhill)
TORONTO - When Ron Wilson was announced as the 27th coach of the Maple Leafs in June of 2008, the team's fans were willing to give the accomplished hockey man time to build a winner.
That patience hit empty this week and the club responded Friday night when general manager Brian Burke announced that Wilson would be fired. He leaves a team in turmoil and one that never managed to reach the post-season under his reign.
Randy Carlyle, who teamed with Burke to win a Stanley Cup in Anaheim, will take over the Leafs for Saturday night's game at the Bell Centre in Montreal. He reportedly has been signed for three years and the rest of this season.
"This was not an easy decision for me to make," Burke said in a statement released by the team Friday night. "I want to thank Ron for all of his hard work and dedication to our organization over the past four seasons."
When approached at the team's hotel in Montreal, the general manager did not talk comment further, only to say that Carlyle would be introduced officially at 10 a.m., Saturday at the Bell Centre prior to the team's scheduled morning skate. The new coach, the 28th in club history and a former Leafs defenceman, was seen by reporters at the hotel, but refused to talk.
As caustic as Wilson appeared at times, the Leafs aren't about to get a warm and fuzzy replacement in Carlyle, a Sudbury, Ont., native who becomes the 16th man to both play for and coach the storied franchise.
Leafs players learned of the coaching change while out to dinner and were summoned back to the team hotel where it is believed Carlyle and Burke were going to meet with the group.
With Tampa Bay's upset of the New York Rangers last night, Carlyle takes over a team that is in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, five points behind Winnipeg, which currently holds down the final playoff spot. A six-game losing streak including several games where the team looked disinterested at times, leading to speculation that Wilson was on borrowed time.
Even Wilson, who was rewarded with a contract extension that he announced via his own Twitter feed on Christmas morning, seemed at a loss for what was going on around him.
"Players have to play, it doesn't matter who is behind the bench," said Leafs forward Mike Brown outside the team's hotel in Montreal. "We can't worry too much. Things happen in the business."
Wilson leaves the team at the end of one of the more tumultuous weeks in a franchise that has seen a few. In the third period of Thursday's loss to the Florida Panthers, fans at the Air Canada Centre broke out in a noisy "Fire Wilson," chant. The following night in Chicago, the Leafs lost 5-4 to the Hawks - the team's sixth in a row and 10th in the past 11 - leading to swirling speculation that Wilson would face the axe.
Wilson, who was hired by Burke's predecessor, Cliff Fletcher, finishes his three-plus years behind the Leafs bench with a sub-par record of 130-135-45, a run that included various forms of rebuild by Burke. The team was unable to acquire a legitimate first-line centre since Mats Sundin left the year before Wilson arrived and the departed coach has been plagued with brutally inconsistent goaltending.
This season started out much more promising, however, with Wilson seemed poised to take the club to the post-season for the first time since 2004. That it turned south so quickly, ultimately leading to his demise.
The coach, who on Thursday moved past Pat Quinn into fourth in career games coached with 1,401, ran Friday's practice and did his best to brush off the growing speculation around his fate.
"The talk around town, it doesn't matter," Wilson said when asked about the high-volume talk surrounding his future. "We have a job to rectify things and get points on the board. We can't think about the past. We have 18 games to turn it around."
Those 18 games will come under the reign of Carlyle, who brings a reputation of being a rigid taskmaster.
But only one NHL coach, Detroit's Mike Babcock, has won more post-season games than Carlyle's 36 since 2005-06.
"(Wilson) did a great job it was just one of those things we were going through," Leafs defenceman Cody Franson said Friday night. "We're going through some stuff right now. They made the move that they felt was necessary. It's just part of the game. We have to believe (that the playoffs are still within reach. We have to give everything we can to make a real solid push. Time has not run out on us yet."
It did on their previous coach, however.

A Sad, Oddly Beautiful Slideshow
The Grandiose Decay of Abandoned Detroit: "Nearly a third of Detroit's homes are vacant, and along with the residences, the city's stately hotels and cultural centers have been abandoned as well, falling into dramatic disrepair, their grand ruins still showing the promises of a once-booming city."

Daily Notes | Ryan Braun in the 30/30 Club
Ryan Braun hit home runs 29 and 30 last night to reach the 30/30 club for the first time in his career. The fact that he hit 30 home runs this season isn't a surprise given that he's done in three out of four seasons before this year. It's the 31 steals that Braun has this season that is the bigger shock.
Before this season, Braun had never stolen more than 20 in a year. Now he's running wild on the basepaths, and next year there's good reason to believe the trend will continue. Part of the problem with Braun running from first over the last five seasons is that it left pitchers the option of pitching around Prince Fielder. Fielder already has one foot out the door, so Braun won't feel any reluctance taking the bat out of the next hitter's hands next season.
That said, it will be interesting to see what it does to Milwaukee's offense and Braun himself. Category by category, there isn't a better player in fantasy this season as far as hitting "the milestone numbers" mentioned in the last post. Braun's average, runs scored, RBI, and home runs are all positively impacted by Fielder's presence in the lineup. The chances of him putting together another 30/100/100/.320ish season without Fielder have to be considered slim. If your league does have walks as a category though, Braun can help there at least.
- The agents for Fielder and Albert Pujols have to be feeling the pressure of making sure that the contract one receives looks good in light of the contract that the other gets.
- Curtis Granderson has hit .176 this month. Given how much better this season has been than every other year of his career, if the last 13 games and the playoffs don't go much better, this poor finish significantly downgrades Granderson on draft day in my mind.
- Jemile Weeks has been a nice little find in leagues that carry the middle infield position, but it is interesting to note he has 0 home runs in 360 at-bats. Let's end the comparisons to his brother please.
- Tyler Pastornicky could have been with the Braves right now had it not been for an ankle sprain in August. The Braves could make him the everyday shortstop next season.
- Jonathan Broxton will have minor elbow surgery and should be ready for the start of spring training. Key word there is should.

Police say man shot at Sherman Heights apartment; victim suffers non-life-threatening injuries
Incident at complex on 25th and J streets
SAN DIEGO - San Diego police say they are investigating an apartment shooting in Sherman Heights Sunday morning that left one man suffering non-life-threatening injuries.
The San Diego Police Department said the shooting occurred at 25th and J streets at around 6:47 a.m.
According to officers, a woman said she was attacked by her boyfriend, 21-year-old Christian Jose Dominguez, Saturday and told her family members. One of her cousins then went to her house to protect her as she was scared the boyfriend would return.
Police said Dominguez entered the apartment Sunday morning, saw the 18-year-old cousin waiting and shot him several times in the chest.
Officers said Dominguez was last seen wearing a black cap and a black hooded sweatshirt, and fled the scene in a 2-door Mitsubishi Eclipse.
Anyone with information was urged to call San Diego police at 619-531-2204.

Goodbye, Mr Chip
The official line why Charles "Chip" Goodyear will not become chief executive of Temasek Holdings as planned is that the American executive and the board of the giant Singapore investment fund did not quite see eye-to-eye on strategy. If that's the case, it's hard to understand why it took them five months to discover the yawning gulf between them.
Whatever the reason, a rare opportunity to shed some of the image problems that have plagued Temasek and other sovereign wealth funds has now been lost.
When the financial crisis erupted in 2007, sovereign wealth funds, in particular those in the Persian Gulf and Asia, were viewed with a mixture of envy, condescension and fear — envy, of course, because of the mammoth hoards of cash they held, and yet condescension as many in the West saw the funds as naive investors throwing money into weak U.S. and UK banks. The fear was that the SWFs had ulterior motives in extending the influence of their governments.
Billions of dollars in losses later, and with no signs of increased influence, many of the worries about SWFs have faded. But they are still seen as political creatures, not yet willing to become full-fledged, sophisticated global financiers.
Temasek went a long way toward changing that perception with its announcement in February that Goodyear, a former CEO of mining giant BHP Billiton and a onetime investment banker at Kidder Peabody, would take the reins of the fund on October 1. Goodyear would be replacing Ho Ching, the wife of the Singapore prime minister and the daughter-in-law of the founder of the nation. Temasek has been among the more established and respected of the SWFs.
But after losing some $4 billion on investments in Merrill Lynch and Barclays, it opted for change. Goodyear, it was thought, as Temasek's first foreign CEO, would shift the fund away from its heavy exposure in financial services toward investing more in natural resources.
Today, Temasek, the smaller of Singapore's two SWFs, said in a statement that "the Temasek Board and Mr. Goodyear have concluded and accepted that there are differences regarding certain strategic issues that could not be resolved." Ho will continue as chief executive and Goodyear will depart.
There may have been a real clash over strategy, to be sure. Or given the wave of deal-making in mining, one might wonder whether Goodyear has been tempted by the prospect of a return to the CEO suite in his former business.
Yet Goodyear's departure gives the appearance of local politics trumping business considerations. That could be costly if Temasek ever decides to pursue high-profile deals in markets like the United States, where SWFs have become ensnared in controversies in the past. Suspicions will cling to these funds until they can demonstrate that they are truly independent investment managers.

Singapore's appetite for vetting all applications for jobs likely collided with the American appetite of bringing in friends to management whether qualified or not, might have led to the split. The typical example of Americans hiring incompetent people is the recent hiring of Dan Mudd to a top post at the Forrester Group after he single-handedly destroyed Fannie Mae. Temasek did not want to risk that situation by allowing Goodyear free hand in hiring his buddies.

Corset Skirts & Ashton Kutcher's "Sexy" Speech
I got this pencil skirt from Pinkyee (fyi mostly lingerie site), which is actually a corset skirt. I never knew these things existed. It isn't steel boned, so it's very comfortable to wear. It does tighten and/or loosen a bit, both in the front and in the back, to some extent. I like that the skirt is high waisted, which is really the reason why I got this skirt. The lace I just think of as mostly decoration. The quality is fair, but it is only $26!
I believe I now have two pairs of high waisted skirts that go below the knee and two high waisted pants. I think I want to slowly eliminate my low waist jeans and skirts when I can, because 1) it's hard not to keep my back and undies from showing when I bend over, 2) high waisted bottoms make anyone look taller, and 3) they're retro!
High waist anything doesn't necessarily make you slender, so keep that in mind. It can play up existing curves but also make you look much bigger around the tush! Think of SNL's "mom jeans." It really is great for any body type, but it will make the pear shaped body look more pear shaped, which is not what most pears want. Although I am a pear myself, I still like high waist pants and skirts for the reasons I mentioned above.
On another note, have you all seen Ashton Kutcher's speech at the teen choice award this year? It really took me by surprise. Since it didn't win Video of the Day on Hannity's show, I will put it up here. Listen and learn, young readers. Sexiness is about being smart.

Nikon AF-S DX 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 G EDII
Nikon's new standard 'kit' lens is being packaged with the new D40 dSLR but is also available on it's own. Re-designed from the original that was released with the D50, we take a look at how it performs.
- Focal Length 18-55mm
- Construction 7/5 elements/groups
- Max aperture f/3.5-5.6
- Angle of view equivalent to 27-82.5mm in 35mm format
- Closest focus 0.2m
- Filter thread 52mm
- Dimensions 69x85mm approx
- Weight 0.205kg
- Hood not supplied
- Price £149.99
Build and handling
The barrel of this lightweight lens is dominated by the 21mm of rubberised grip that is the zoom ring. There is an AF/MF switch in the usual place on the left, just in front of the mount and a token manual focus ring forward of the zoom ring that is some 5mm wide. The mount is constructed of engineering plastics that do seem a little more advanced than some others on the market, showing no signs of wear after a good number of lens changes.
The lens extends when zoomed by way of a trombone action both towards the wide end and the telephoto end, with a rest position around the 35mm mark. Focussing further extends the front element, and this time, rotates the element also. The lens is finished off with a small flange that has no provision for a hood.
The zoom ring produced a smooth transition through the marked focal lengths of 18, 24, 35, 45 and 55mm and manual focussing is achieved by rotating the front element.
Nikons new, lightweight SWM focussing system is quiet and fast enough for most purposes and I found it accurate in good light conditions with only the occasional hunt as the light lowered. However, in common with other lenses in this class, the AF cannot be over-ridden with the MF ring and for difficult subjects the AF needs to be switched off to use the manual ring. Although at first glance this looks to be a token affair, its position at the front of the zoom ring and the drop in diameter of the lens at this point makes it very usable.
Optical quality
This lens is designated as a DX lens, signifying its use is restricted to the cropped sensors of Nikons digital cameras and is not suitable for their film based cousins as they will vignette significantly.
The performance of this lens is impressive in the centre but average towards the edges when used wide open. Like all of its ilk, the performance gets worse as the focal length increases and to get the optimum out of it the aperture needs closing down more nearer the longer end. Very good resolution figures, especially at the wide end, are produced by the optic but where this lens is let down badly is in the control of distortion, with figures of –3.79% barrel (un-acceptable) at the short end, going on to an acceptable-0.25% barrel at the longest focal length.
The lens also displayed a certain amount of chromatic aberration in high contrast areas, allowing light colours to bleed into darker ones, but this only occurs when used at the widest apertures. Contrast drops off slightly as the focal length increases, but not alarmingly so.]
The zoom range works well on the DX sensor to pick out subjects. F/8 on D40
Colours are rendered well with this lens on a D40 |

Below is our lens test data. To find out how to use these graphs look at this article: How we test lenses
Despite its lightweight construction this lens does not have too a 'cheap' feel to it and the overall performance, although not stunning, is certainly not in the milk-bottle category. The autofocus performed satisfactorily and the manual mode proved usable. For a 'kit' lens, the performance, especially at the wider end if you ignore the distortion, is quite good.
In summary, the positive points of the Nikon DX AF-S 55-200mm are:
Smallest and lightest in class
Good performance especially at wider lengths
Good value for money
The negative points aree:
Barrel distortion at the wide end.
Front element rotates during focussing.
Slight drop in contrast at longer end.

I have the download version of this game and load times are still a nightmare. Sometimes 1 minute long! But as far as screen tearing of frame rate drops, I honestly never had an issue with it.

"These were very pretty and nice for the price. The spacing for the default font for the name is a bit odd when using an ampersand, but other than that, beautiful labels."
"I used this address label as personalized labels for cupcake boxes to give as party favors. I selected a rich plum color and put my personalized message on it. The color, print and font was absolutely beautiful. I tied a purple ribbon on each box and it tied in so perfectly with the labels - will definitely re-order. Shipping was also super fast."
"I loved the idea of matching my return address labels to the personalized notecard, but was a little less than pleased with the paper/print quality for the price. Next time I'll do it myself."
"I love these starry frame labels that I purchased. The stars make it fun and the colors are so beautiful and bright. Looks great on an envelope! And they arrived so fast!"
"I shopped all over to find the perfect return address labels for our save the dates. I fell in love with these immediatley! I loved the black and white with the little hint of a pink line! It matched my envelopes (Chartreuse) to a tee! It came perfectly packaged and the quality of paper was extremely high! I am planning on ordering more ASAP b/c of all the comments I received on them. Overall, I give this product at A++++!"
