West Bend Physician Charged in Federal Court with tax Evasion and false Statement
James L. Santelle, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that Michael N. Mangold (age: 55) of West Bend, Wisconsin, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Milwaukee. The indictment charges Mangold with four counts of federal income tax evasion in violation of Title 26, United States Code, Section 7201, and one count of making a false statement in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001. Mangold is accused of evading federal income taxes by, among other affirmative acts, filing returns that falsely claimed zero income and by understating income. Mangold is further charged with making false statements on a financial form that he submitted to the Financial Litigation Unit of the United States Attorney's Office. Each tax evasion count subjects Mangold to a maximum imprisonment of not more than five years, a $100,000 fine, a mandatory $100 special assessment, and three years of supervised release. The penalties for the false statement count are the same as the tax counts except the maximum fine is $250,000.
This matter was investigated by agents from the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation. The case is assigned to Assistant United States Attorney Gordon P. Giampietro for prosecution.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Matthew 18:3
"VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, EXCEPT YE TURN AND BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN, YE SHALL IN NO WISE ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN" (Mat 18:3, R.V.).
This was Christ's answer to some of His own disciples, who had been asking that somewhat half-curious, self-confident question, "Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?" They are not all properly converted who are the professed followers of Jesus Christ. Three things here should be noted-
I. The Need of Conversion. "Except ye turn and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter the Kingdom of Heaven." We may be disciples, in a sense, and yet be unfit for the Kingdom of God. Those who don't need to be converted are those who, at some time or other, have been converted, for "All we like sheep have gone astray." There may be an outward conformity where there is an inward deformity. The tree needs to be made good before the fruit can be good; the fountain of the heart must be cleansed if the streams of thought and feeling are to be pure. The Kingdom of Heaven cannot be entered by those who selfishly seek their own good, and not the glory of God. Not to submit to the will and purpose of God is to rebel against this Kingdom, which is the "rule of the Heavens."
II. The Nature of Conversion. "Except ye turn." It is a turning about-a turning from self-confidence and self-rule unto the rule of God. Saul was thoroughly converted when he said, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" He had turned from His own self-made plans and purposes to the will of his Lord and Saviour. In one sense we need to be converted very often, for every time we turn aside, like Bunyan's pilgrims, into any By-Path Meadow that leads us out of fellowship with the Lord, we need another conversion, another turning back, if we would enter again into the peaceful Kingdom of Heaven. Christ "suffered for us, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God." If we have not been turned unto God we are yet unconverted; and if we have been thus converted, and are not now walking in the light and joy of His presence, it is quite clear that we need another turning about. "Turn ye, turn ye, why will ye die?"
III. The Evidence of Conversion. "Become as little children." The little child which "Jesus set in the midst of them," was for them an object lesson of self-abasement and trustfulness. Those who are wholly turned to God are as open minded and submissive as little children. They are very conscious of their own weakness, and free from all unholy ambition and secret intrigue. They are harmless, affectionate, and sincere, without duplicity and hypocrisy. To become as a little child is to have the past blotted out and forgiven, and to begin life anew after another and more heavenly fashion. It is only when a man gets converted, and becomes again a little child, that he can have all the prospects and opportunities of a lifetime before him. He has not yet begun to live in a real, true sense, if he has not been turned to God. "God is angry with the wicked every day; if he turn not, He will whet His sword" (Psa 7:11-12).

What Did We Learn From NBA's Opening Night?
Those Kia commercials are time consuming
Blake Griffin is arguably the most marketable player in the NBA not named LeBron James. Kia, Subway, Jordan Brand and other colossal companies all help young Ginger Gawd pay his bills, but he looked like he spent too much time on set and not enough time in the gym this offseason. There's only so long NBA players can play off of athleticism alone and while he's still in that high flying prime, the Clippers aren't true contenders until he's a legit threat to take over a game. Not just make momentum shifting, YouTube crashing dunks but really exploit an opponent on offense and defense. There hans't been an elite level power forward with his build since Karl Malone and just like the Mailman, he's now paired with a Hall of Fame level point guard. If Griffin doesn't show improvements soon, it's likely he'll have something else in common with Malone: a ringless career.

Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.
- By Jeff Berg, Co-owner, SurflineThere is no better publication that I am aware of that is so accurate and on top of any news and developments in our industry. I personally recommend it to many people that want to know and understand more about our industry. For the most part, shop-eat-surf.com gets the stories first. As a matter of fact, I require all the executives in our company to read it.

Fear & Loathing in Seattle: Jamal Crawford's Pro-Am Helps a City Heal
When you walk into the Royal Brougham Pavilion at Seattle Pacific University in Queen Anne, it doesn't feel like a college arena. It feels more like a high school gymnasium, and there's an immediate air of intimacy here that's rare given the fact that the upcoming game features so many professional basketball players.
It's a little before 4 p.m., and Dime arrived in Seattle this Saturday in late July just in time for the final game of Week 4 of the Seattle Pro-Am, a match-up featuring Jamal Crawford and his DRG Wolverines versus Alvin Snow and the Stranger Cougars. Read More »

Is this insurance company the worst hashtag hijacker ever?
The world was rocked following the news of the death of former South African president Nelson Mandela, and it wasn't long before messages of respect and emotional tributes began flooding onto social networks.
However, for one New York-based insurance company, the passing of the global icon apparently proved too good an advertising opportunity, resulting in this slew of tasteless tweets:
Many reached out to express their disgust and outrage, and while it's unclear whether the tweets were automated or some kind of terribly misguided joke, a quick scroll through @4insureme's timeline reveals that the company is not averse to hijacking terrible news in a bid to promote itself. It's previous 'campaign' saw it mock late Fast and the Furious actor Paul Walker, who died in a car accident on November 30. In one tweet, the company even says: "Yo Paul, I heard you had an accident. No problem, we specialize in high risk drivers."
More recently, the company has been quick to jump on the #LiesObamaToldUs hashtag – only marginally more relevant to its operations, but still one a business would do well to stay away from:
We've seen many examples of companies thoughtlessly hijacking current affairs in a bid to make themselves known, from Kenneth Cole using unrest in Cairo to promote its new spring collection, to Habitat shoving the #Mousavi hashtag on a tweet promoting a sale. But given the repeated offenses of 4insureme, the outrage they've caused and the fact that those tweets remain on its feed, is this the most thoughtless case of hashtag hijacking ever?

By: Mary Belle Ingram The R. J. Hill Building situated on Block 53, N 80' of Lot 18 at the corner of Commerce and Fourth Street in the business district of Palacios, Texas, was constructed in 1910 by Robert J. Hill. The building has had a colorful and interesting history and is now the museum for the Palacios Area Historical Association.
The Texas Historical Marker for the R. J. Hill Building was dedicated October 28, 2001. The R. J. Hill Building is on the corner of Fourth and Commerce Streets, Palacios, Texas. |
Robert J. Hill was born in September of 1864, and Kate Elizabeth Briggan was born in Old Columbia , Texas, on August 13, 1866. They were married on May 24, 1894, and made their home in several coast towns until 1904, when they moved to Palacios.In 1910 Mr. Hill built a two-story brick and stone building at the southwest corner of Commerce and Fourth Streets, and was in the mercantile business for many years. Robert J Hill served the City as Councilman and was active in many projects which helped to make Palacios grow Mr. Hill's mother and father lived with the couple for several years before their deaths. Although the couple had no children of their own, they welcomed young people into their home. Ruth Snedaker lived with them while she attended high school, and Mrs. Hill's grand niece, Willene Shanks, also lived with them during her high school years. Many nieces and nephews never thought a summer complete without a visit to Aunt Kate and Uncle Robert at the little seaside town. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hill were active in the First Presbyterian Church, which they joined in 19 I 6. Mr Hill died in Corpus Christi on March 11, 1934, and Mrs. Hill died in Palacios on January 20, 1930. Their funeral services were held at the First Presbyterian Church with the Reverend George F Gillespie officiating. Burial was at the Palacios Cemetery Historic Matagorda
County, Volume II, page 243 |
News reached here Monday of the death of Mr. Robert J. Hill, in Corpus Christi, after an illness of some duration. The remains were shipped to Blessing, and brought to the Palacios Funeral Home, where funeral services were held Tuesday at 10 a. m., Rev. G. F. Gillespie of the Presbyterian Church officiating. Interment was made in the Palacios Cemetery under the direction of the Palacios Funeral Home, E. E. Burton, H. B. Farwell, A. J. Louderback, C. E. Pasal, Duncan Ruthven and C. W. Nester acting as pallbearers. Mr. Hill was 69 years, 5 months and 22 days of age and had lived in Palacios a number of years, being one of the first to settle here. For some time he was engaged in the mercantile business, served the city as councilman and had been active in many ways helping to make Palacios. A little over four years ago he was preceded in death by his wife, and since that time he had been less active and the loyal support given to all civic and other organizations by he and Mrs. Hill has been greatly missed. They had no children and Mr. Hill had no near relatives, but leaves a host of friends to mourn his passing on. Those here from out of town for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Parker and Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Hanson, of Freeport; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hanson and Mrs. Robert Hanson and Mrs. Albert Reynolds, of Brazoria and Mrs. Neal, of Corpus Christi.

cyclone's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
This beautiful boy is 5 years old and never been loved. Always kept outside the home of his family who had no time for him. He was rescued by a neighbor who couldn't stand to see him so alone and lonely in the yard. She neutered him and brought him utd on his vaccines. She found him a home with a loving man and he was happy for a few months, but unfortunately Cyclone can't get a break and his new dad fell ill and had to return him. There was nowhere for him to go so he is boarded in a cage right now at the vet office. When he was rescued out of the yard , he was 50 lbs and now he is 80 pounds and looks like a king.
If you can give Cyclone a home, please call lissette 786 380 1210, even a foster with a rescue will be great.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
cyclone, a hollywood German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in hollywood, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in hollywood.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in hollywood already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a hollywood breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in hollywood paves the way for another one to be saved.

New HMRC Tax Amnesty - NOT Just for Plumbers! |
Today, HM Revenue & Customs has launched the Plumbers' Tax Safe Plan, primarily aimed at small traders working in plumbing, heating and gas installation sectors. However, it is important to note that the scope of the Plan is much broader than this: any business is potentially eligible and not just in the Home Improvement sector; it is available to companies as well as to individuals; and initial investigations indicate that even people without a business - i.e., with undeclared investment income - may also use the scheme. The main benefit of the Plan appears to be the offer of significantly reduced penalty rates - 10-20% The Plan is following a similar schedule to previous opportunities/schemes: notifying HMRC that a disclosure will be made (by 31 May) and then disclosure itself. (By 31 August). For further information see Introduction to the Plumbers' Tax Safe PlanThere was also an entry in HMRC's "What's New?" Section on 18 February How to tell HMRC about Undeclared Income, which appears to be related.

A Maybach 57, powered by a 730-bhp Brabus SV12 S Biturbo engine, set a world
speed record of 205.2 mph (330.6 km/h) on the test track at Nardo, Italy. It is
now the world's
fastest and most exclusive ultra-luxury sedan. The Brabus engineers and test
drivers bested their own record set in 2005 when a Maybach 57 powered by a
Brabus SV12 Biturbo engine with 640 bhp was clocked at
195 mph (314 km/h).
The SV12 S Biturbo evolution of the 6.3-liter displacement engine was originally
developed for the Brabus ROCKET, the four-door car based on the Mercedes CLS
series. In October of 2006 it set a speed record for street-legal sedans of
227.2 mph (365.7 km/h), a record that still stands today.
For power increase of the turbocharged Maybach 12-cylinder engine from standard
543 bhp to 730 bhp, Brabus
followed its tradition of increasing engine displacement. The Brabus engineers
developed a special crankshaft with longer stroke, precision-balanced piston
rods and larger pistons to account for the increased cylinder bore. Displacement
grows from standard 5.5 to 6.3 liters (335 to 385 cu. in.).
The inner workings of the engine are modified with precision-machined cylinder
heads and special camshafts. The engine peripherals are tuned for more power
with the help of a high-performance turbocharging system with special manifolds,
two larger turbochargers, more efficient intercoolers, and a stainless-steel
high-performance exhaust system with metal catalysts.
Custom-programmed engine electronics coordinate the perfect interaction of all
high-performance components and ensure that the engine meets stringent EURO IV
emission limits. The standard 155 mph (250 km/h) speed limit is also eliminated.
The peak torque of 974 lb-ft is limited by the engine electronics to
811 lb-ft.
The enormous power of the Brabus SV12 S Biturbo engine is transferred to the
rear wheels via a reinforced five-speed automatic transmission.
The top speed of 205.2 mph places enormous demands on tires and
wheels. The Brabus suspension engineers developed forged 21-inch Brabus
Monoblock VI light-alloy wheels specifically for the Maybach. The fully polished
multi-piece wheels with six double spokes perfectly fill the space beneath the
wheel arches. They are mounted in size 9.0Jx21 in front with size 275/40 R21
tires, and in size 10.5Jx21 with size 315/35 R21 tires on the rear axle.
For further increased driving safety the Brabus air-suspension module lowers the
ride height by 0.6 inches without compromising the unique
ride comfort.
Brabus refines the elegant lines of Maybach not just with a lowered ride height
and with large wheels. The front of the sedan can be upgraded with two auxiliary
headlights that serve as daytime running lights. They are stylishly integrated
into the production front apron.
Exclusive Brabus light design is also available for the sides and the rear of
the Maybach: LED lights integrated into the body that illuminate the ground
beside and behind the luxury sedan can be activated via the keyless fob. They
help avoid unfortunate missteps into potholes or puddles in the dark. The rear
of the Maybach is further upgraded with the ultra-flat tailpipes of the Brabus
sport exhaust system.
Brabus also offers exclusive custom-tailored interiors and state-of-the-art
multimedia technology for all Maybach models. Owners of the luxury sedan can
choose from the finest leathers and Alcantara in any desired color and design.
Special loving attention to detail is present in the waffle-patterned leather
carpeting that alone uses several kilometers of the finest thread, sewn with
utmost precision. Custom-tailored Brabus lambs wool floor mats caress the
occupants' feet.
The Brabus development team also created additional interesting features for the
standard entertainment system of the Maybach. The 16:9 flat screens integrated
into the back of the front seats measure 15.2 inches in the Brabus version
(standard: 9 inches). An additional 6-disc DVD changer rounds out the Brabus
multimedia package for the Maybach.
At the push of a button the Maybach transforms into a luxurious office on
wheels: The screens the display the computer's user interface. Brabus uses a
special computer designed for use in a car that is connected to the internet via
UMTS. A wireless keyboard and wireless optical gyro mouse make operating the
computer easy and convenient. A USB 2.0 port, stylishly integrated into the
center console, allows connecting external electronic equipment such as printer
or a digital camera.
To remain online even when outside the vehicle the Brabus communications
specialists have integrated a high-tech notebook computer in an electrically
operated drawer in the trunk. This computer is connected to the computer network
of the vehicle via W-LAN.

Sir Tony is MP for North Oxfordshire, which includes the towns of Bicester and Banbury, as well as areas including Bloxham, Deddington and Hook Norton. You can see a map of the constituency below. Banbury is one of the largest constituencies with a population of nearly 90,000.
Sir Tony is voicing local peoples' concerns on these and the other challenges facing the town to help make North Oxfordshire an even better place to live and work. These are just some of his thoughts from the personal manifesto on which he was elected your MP.
Working with the police
Sir Tony Baldry is fighting to help raise the salaries of police officers in Thames Valley, highlighting how police officers in North Oxfordshire get around £6,000 less compared to officers elsewhere. Sir Tony is working with the Chief Constable of Thames Valley Police to get fairer funding to fight crime and anti-social behaviour in Oxfordshire. "People need to know that a police officer is nearby when they need one," Tony says. "Twenty-four hour licensing laws have put further pressure on the police in the big towns. This is a nightmare for smaller villages that may not be able to get help when they most need it."
Working for local business
Sir Tony is fighting to cut red tape and stealth taxes on the local business community. Sir Tony regularly consults with local businesses in North Oxfordshire ahead of the Budget to ensure local views heard. Sir Tony actively supports bids to bring extra jobs to North Oxfordshire, including recently approaching the Department for Trade and Industry to bring 300 new jobs for a company in Banbury. "Our challenge locally is to encourage the growth of a skills sector for young people to get the jobs they want, and for business to be able to recruit the employees they want," says Tony. "Ministers continue to fiddle and increase red tape, increase National Insurance Contributions, increase stealth taxes on small business. Only by cutting these out can we create bigger and better business for Bicester and Banbury."
Working for local charities
Sir Tony works tirelessly for local charities to help some of the most vulnerable in society. He recently joined mothers to secure the future of respite care services for children with severe disabilities at Sycamore House, calling on the Government to amend the Children Act to guarantee its funding. Sir Tony meets regularly with charity workers in North Oxfordshire and successfully changed Government legislation to improve Carers' Rights for 1,000 Oxfordshire carers. He is also helping the Carers' Centre to get Lottery and government funding, the Oxfordshire Children's Fund, and the Sunshine Centre. "Ministers mistakenly think that the sun is always shining for people in Oxfordshire," he says, "but for many there is the daily experience of poverty which people associate more with inner cities. In some parts of North Oxfordshire, 30% of families have no central heating, 45% through no fault of their own have no basic qualifications, and unemployment is more than double the county average. It is important that we stand up for the most vulnerable in the community, and support the charities that help when social services stop."
Working for teachers
Sir Tony is calling for greater investment in further education in Banbury and Bicester. He recently launched an initiative to support the building of a Further Education College in Bicester, following his support for the newly opened technology department at The Warriner school. Sir Tony frequently consults with teachers across North Oxfordshire to lobby the Labour government for fairer pay to reflect the high cost of living in the South East. "Banbury and Bicester are some of the fastest growing towns in Oxfordshire," says Sir Tony Baldry. "To ensure that they can become the most successful towns in Oxfordshire, England and Europe, all of us need to invest time and energy into ensuring that Bicester and Banbury can become Learning towns – towns of lifelong learners."
Working with local people
Sir Tony makes a priority of working with local groups, including Parish Councils. He regularly organises briefings and conferences for Parishes, including on National Lottery grants to help local communities get funding for projects, and meetings with the Environment Agency to improve the local environment. He also works closely with a number of residents groups on specific concerns, from Rail Services at Lower Heyford to the erection of mobile phone masts in Banbury. "It is important that local minds are put to local matters," says Sir Tony. "Parish Councils are often at the centre of local communities, which I why I regularly consults with them on a range of issues and highlight funding opportunities for their local area to ensure that local people get the best services they want."
Making global concerns local
Sir Tony Baldry was appointed by parliamentary colleagues to chair the cross-party Select Committee on International Development in 2001. Tony won Charity Champion after a vote by Members of Parliament in 2004 and he is at the forefront of the challenge to Make Poverty History. Tony is helping campaigners make Banbury a Fairtrade Town, regularly meets with the North Oxfordshire Trade Justice Movement and local churches, frequently speaks to school children at local schools, including the Warriner, Blessed George Napier, and Banbury School about global issues for Citizenship lessons.

What if you were given the chance to apply your reading and writing skills in a high-tech computer lab? Would that help you gain the mastery of those skills you need to succeed in college?
In the Basic Skills Computer Lab, you have exactly that opportunity.
The objective of the lab is to improve the reading and writing skills of Basic Educational Skills (BES) students through weekly participation in computer-assisted language arts activities. Aside from working with educational software and the Internet, students also work with word processing software, simultaneously developing writing and typing skills.
The lab, which is located in Humanities-239, consists of 90 computer stations. Each computer features a full-time Internet hookup as well as a wide range of proven educational software to help students build their reading and writing skills. In addition, the BSLC Computer Lab has three laser printers so students can print out their completed writing assignments. Even if a student doesn't have a computer at home, the BSLC Lab has everything he or she needs, both to complete required coursework and to practice on his or her own.
Presently, writing students (students enrolled in BE 111, 201, 203, or 205) attend the Lab on a weekly basis as unscheduled walk-ins in order to complete the twelve hours of lab time required by each course. Writing instructors prescribe both class and individual assignments for the students to work on independently. Each student works at his or her own pace, reinforcing his or her existing writing skills. Visit the CUNY Writesite at http://writesite.cuny.edu/ .
Reading students (those enrolled in BE 121, 122, 225, or 226) attend the lab with their respective instructors for Recitation periods. In a Recitation session, the instructor can teach an entire class, a selected group, or an individual student, using the computers. It is during these sessions that the combined use of educational multimedia technology and the Internet is maximized. The instructor may have students read or summarize given material, or conduct research on the World Wide Web. In reading Recitations, Basic Skills students improve comprehension, study skills, and critical thinking abilities while developing their vocabularies. Students preparing to take the ACT Reading and/or Writing Exam at the end of their course can prepare by using purpose-designed software.
With its modern technology and talented staff, the Basic Skills Computer Lab offers BES students even more support to succeed.

Oil fell after the biggest gain in six weeks as a forecast for rising supplies in the U.S. signaled demand may be easing in the world's biggest crude consumer.
Futures slid as much as 0.8 percent in New York. U.S. crude stockpiles probably rose for a second week, to the highest level since August, according to a Bloomberg News survey before an Energy Department report tomorrow. Prices advanced yesterday after U.S. manufacturing in March expanded at a faster pace than estimated. Oil has climbed this year on concern that tension with Iran will disrupt global supplies.
"There's no immediate shortage of supplies," said Andrey Kryuchenkov, an analyst at VTB Capital in London, who predicts U.S. oil will struggle to rally beyond $107 a barrel. "Today there's small-scale profit-taking after last night's rally. The upside is also limited on demand concerns."
Oil for May delivery dropped as much as 81 cents to $104.42 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange and was at $104.56 at 10:40 a.m. London time. It climbed 2.2 percent yesterday, the most since Feb. 21, to $105.23. Prices are 5.8 percent higher this year.

Al Qaeda-linked IMU claims deadly ambush on Tajik troops
The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan today took credit for the Sept. 19 ambush that killed 25 Tajik troops, and also threatened to carry out further attacks in the Central Asian country. An IMU spokesman named Abdufattoh Ahmadi claimed the attack during an interview with Radio Liberty's Tajik Service, according to a report at Reuters.
Ahmadi said the attacks are in response to the government's closing of mosques and arresting "Muslims."
"This is our response to Tajikistan's government, which has lately shut down a thousand mosques, which arrests Muslims without any reason and prohibits women from wearing Muslim clothes," Ahmadi said. "We demand a stop to this policy. Otherwise, terrorist attacks will continue."
The Sept. 19 attack that killed the 25 Tajik soldiers took place in the Rasht Valley in Tajikistan, an area known as a haven for Islamists fighters. An IMU commander named Mullo Abdullo is believed to have been behind the deadly ambush.
Ahmadi's threat today takes place one day after Tajik security forces killed five supporters of Mirzokhuja Ahmadov during an assault on his home. Ahmadov fought against the government during the 1992-1997 civil war and remains a member of the opposition. The Tajik government claims that Ahmadov was sheltering Abdullo.
The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan is based in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan, and primarily operates along the Afghan-Pakistani border and in northern Afghanistan. According to one estimate, more than 3,000 Uzbeks and other Central Asian fighters are sheltering in North Waziristan.
Over the past month, the US has ramped up airstrikes against the terror groups in North Waziristan, with 17 strikes this month alone. The IMU's former leader, Tahir Yuldashev, was killed in a US Predator airstrike in South Waziristan in September 2009. Yuldashev sat on al Qaeda's top council, the Shura Majlis. He has been replaced by Abu Usman Adil.
Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan fighters often serve as bodyguards to top Pakistani Taliban leaders. The IMU fights alongside the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan. In northern Afghanistan, the IMU has integrated its operations with the Taliban, and senior leaders serve as members of the Taliban's shadow government [see LWJ report, Coalition continues pursuit of IMU commanders in the Afghan north].
Tajikistan has seen an uptick in attacks from Islamist terror groups since the summer of 2009. In late spring of that year, NATO opened a supply line from Tajikistan into northern Afghanistan after the Taliban and allied groups heavily targeted the main NATO route from Pakistan.
In the past month, Islamist fighters have carried out several major attacks. On Aug. 25, five prison guards were killed as 25 members of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan serving long term sentences escaped from a Dushanbe prison. One week later, on Sept. 3, a suicide bomber attacked a police headquarters in Khujand, the second largest city in Tajikistan. Two policemen were killed and 30 more were wounded.
Within a week of the Khujand attack, Tajik border guards killed 20 Taliban and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan fighters as they attempted to cross the border from Afghanistan. The Taliban and IMU fighters are thought to have been fleeing an ISAF and Afghan operation in Kunduz.

IMU's state looks like a warning to the Tajik government
Posted by Samantha at September 25, 2010 7:57 AM ET:
I was pretty sure that the IMU would reemerge in the area, but in Kyrgyzstan not Tajikistan because of the Kyrgyz events in June.
It is interesting that they are targeting Tajikistan, and not their long-term target, Uzbekistan. I do not think that the IMU attacks on the Tajik soldiers was a warning, I think these types of attacks were anticipated or could have been anticipated by the government as the IMU has made it very clear that they will not tolerate mistreatment of Muslims in "Muslim states."
And when did the IMU become officially linked to Al-Qaeda? Yeah, they fought in NWFP with the Taliban and Al-Qaeda but that does not make them part of Al-Qaeda. The two groups have distinct missions and doctrines.

In the sexually charged world of Cirque du Monde, CEO Michel Lemaitre reigns as king of depravity. He's a stringent, brutal Master who selects his slaves based on their ability to cope with strict handling and pain. He exerts rigid control over his chosen partners and they submit to him in all things—that is, until fiery Italian acrobat Valentina Sancia enters his life.
Valentina's known as La Vampa, the flame of Napoli, and her tempestuous personality and wild libido soar as high as her circus tricks. To his chagrin, she wants nothing more than to be his slave. Michel finds himself drawn to the red-headed firebrand even as he tries his hardest to resist her. It doesn't help that the sensual beauty idolizes him and tempts him at every turn. He finally engages her in a one-month, no-holds-barred Master-slave relationship to prove their incompatibility.
And that's when the circus really begins.
The two become wrapped up in bondage, cages, physical ordeals…and an emotionally fraught battle of wills. He's never had a slave burn so bright, and Valentina's heart is set on pleasing her Master, no matter the torment and trials she must endure. Is there such a thing as too much passion? Michel's convinced there is, and he's determined to tame a billowing love on the verge of blazing out of control.
Annabel Joseph is at Dark Diva Reviews today to tell us about her new BDSM romance, Master's Flame, and also to share some…ahem…inspiring examples of real life circus artistry. Prepare your eyeballs for some artistic brain candy, and be sure to check out the Master's Flame excerpt below!
Hello readers! If you've been keeping up with my Cirque Masters series, then you know I draw a lot of erotic inspiration from Cirque performers and other talented folks. The entire series was inspired by an aerial silk act I saw that incorporated some very bondage-oriented sequences. Ooh-la-la. I thought I'd share four of my other favorite sexy and sensual circus acts:
The Amaluna Water Bowl – Amaluna is a Cirque du Soleil show centered on female goddesses and the mystery of the moon. In the water bowl act, Miranda cavorts with the handsome (and buff) Romeo while doing all kinds of amazing stuff with her body and splashing in an oversized fish bowl. Search on Youtube for Amaluna Water Bowl and you can see this beautiful act for yourself.
The Zarkana Banquine Act – Valentina, the heroine in my new release, got her start as a banquine artist. I can see her flying above everyone's heads like the female acrobat in this photo. There are a lot of banquine acts but what I love most about the one in Cirque du Soleil's Zarkana is the romantic, atmospheric quality of the performance. Plus, I just get off on all those strong, manly men throwing the women around.
The Mystère Hand to Hand Act – I'm just gonna let the photo tell the story on this one. Two hot, muscular men performing feats of strength while they rub up all over each other. Very fun to watch.
The Totem Lovebirds – This duo trapeze couple wears yellow bird-inspired costumes but their act definitely isn't feather-brained. They perform daring and sensual tricks, requiring concentration and perfect timing. It doesn't hurt that they're beautiful to look at! You can see the Lovebirds as part of Cirque du Soleil's touring TOTEM show.
I hope I've been able to show you how sexy circus can be. Here's an excerpt from my new release Master's Flame, a BDSM romance set in the fictional world of Cirque du Monde.
"Make love to me. Just once," she begged. "Touch me just once so I can know the feeling of your…your magic."
"My magic?" He shook his head. "Jason's right. You don't live in the real world." He stood and paced away from her.
"Mr. Lemaitre, I would do anything to have you."
He turned back, holding up a finger. "Don't. Don't say you would do anything, especially to someone like me, because I'll take you up on that offer and you won't like it."
"I would like it. I'd do anything for you. Anything, anything, anything." She yelled the word at him, her heart pounding. "You know how I feel, I know you do. I only have this one life and I want to experience everything I desire."
"Everything you desire?" The question was a warning, one she didn't heed.
"Yes, and you are keeping me from doing it."
"And you need this to be fulfilled in life? You need to be mine? To be taken by me, used by me? Possessed by me, as you so dramatically put it?"
"Yes," she cried. "That's what I need."
He crossed his arms over his chest. "What will you offer in return? What will I get out of this possession, besides a recurrent headache?"
Valentina's face flushed red, because she hadn't once, not once, considered his side of things.
"Ah, but you see, my dear, that's the rub," he said quietly. "I'm not a service top. I take slaves for my pleasure, not theirs. I have less than no interest in your needs, Valentina, except as they intersect with what I desire."
She swallowed hard. "Well…what do you desire?"
His piercing gaze transformed from something reproachful to something more speculative. It scared her a little, the assessment in his expression.
"I think you're a selfish hedonist who wants what she wants," he said. "That's not slavery, you know. It isn't even power exchange. It's topping from the bottom and I don't tolerate it in those I 'possess.'"
Valentina tried not to be distracted by the growing tent in his robe. "You…you would have to teach me to be better. I need control."
"You would have to. I need. You're still not listening, Valentina," he said, coming back to the bed. "The only one having their needs met in a relationship between us would be me."
There had to be some flaw in his thinking, because she was sure he would meet her needs. His mastery would fulfill her as no one ever had. "What can I give you?" she asked. "How can I prove that I'll do anything for you?"
"There you go with the 'I'll do anything' again."
"Mr. Lemaitre, please! What can I offer that would satisfy your desires? What would make it worthwhile for you?"
Again, that slow, almost threatening gaze of consideration. His eyes traveled over her, his lips drawn into a contemplative line. "You'll do anything?"
"Anything, I swear. There's nothing you could ask for that I wouldn't gladly do."
The air seemed to grow heavy between them. She knew she was being impulsive again, but she didn't care. Everything she'd said was true. After a moment, he made a small motion of annoyance. His expression hardened to something like stone.
"If that's how you feel," he said, "then I want a no-limits arrangement. Complete and utter ownership, no holds barred. No negotiation, no contracts, no release clauses. Your body is mine for one month, for whatever I desire."
Whatever I desire. The idea excited her so much she could barely breathe, but she forced herself to stop, to clarify his terms. "So I would have no rights in this relationship?"
"You could do whatever you wanted to me, and I couldn't stop you? What if you decided you wanted to kill me?"
"Then I get to kill you. Honestly, the way you perturb me, I would put the odds of a murder at 2 to 1."
She decided he was kidding, although he didn't have the slightest hint of humor in his demeanor. "Do you really want that?" she asked. "You really want…me…for a month? Does that mean…" She could barely say the words. "Does that mean I would become your slave?"
Some wary expression flitted across his face. His voice was light, almost a whisper, when he answered. "You have been my slave for some time now, haven't you? You might think on whether it's what you really want."

Missouri's Fifth Congressional District was over 60% Democrat and the media had painted the race as "unwinnable" for a Republican. But that didn't stop one dedicated conservative from running against the odds.
Unlike many who run for public office, Jacob Turk didn't plan to run. He graduated from the University of Missouri – Kansas City with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and is a Marine Corps veteran, business owner, volunteer, proud father, and grandfather.
"Honestly, if I had not felt the Lord calling me distinctly to run for this office, I can't imagine deciding to do it on my own. It was a step of faith to run."
Jacob Turk ran for U.S. Congress in Missouri's Fifth Congressional District in 2012 and again in 2014.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Excellent break over New Year. Loved the lodge and the hot tub. Park and surrounding area beautiful despite the weather
All aspects of our stay at hunters quay was totally satisfactory , from the lodge to all staff and facilities our stay was made a memorable kind . I would certainly recommend hunters quay and fully intend to return in the very near future .
A beautiful site, great facilities and a fab hot tub!!
Hunter's Quay is a beautiful location with lots to do at the holiday park or out and about in the surrounding area.
excellent lodege with hot tub. Staff very helpful . Location lovely but little out of the way to get to other parts of scotland ( dunoon needed ferry cross from Glasgow). But didn't detract at all from holiday overall . Site very secure with barriers. Shame been to a few go active sites and really think they are missing out only offer certain activities caertain days and feel could use these so much more not getting full potential out of these we would have used them more but a lot of activites were either not on day we wanted oof at a time either.
Car was essential. Weather throughout our stay was awful and we left 2 days early. Occupancy at the site was very low so little atmosphere and some activities (eg bingo) cancelled due to small numbers. Not much good if you are amongst the low numbers.
I think value for money was very poor there was no entertainment and the main bar wasn't open in the evening due to the particular week we were there, I feel personally this should have been rectified in the price, feel very cheated that we didn't get a better deal and this may have put me off going again int the future.
This was our fourth time at Hunters Quay. We love it!
Great location, good for kids.
We thoroughly enjoyed our break. The lodge we hired was very comfortable and clean. We had no problems.
first class holiday,on a lovely clean site.happy little dog as lots of nice walks in the area.Dunoon itself looking a little run down,but still had a great time,thank you.
Enjoyed the holiday but all the go active activities were fully booked and could not get the grandaughter on any.
the log cabins need to be up dated , but complex is in a nice area.
Stayed for one week in Rowan premier 4 lodge hot tub, Two adults one child and a small dog, lodge was fantastic very spacious warm & clean, hot tub was fantastic and maintained every day by staff. Shop was close by and the walk to the entertainment/bar/restaurant was a good walk away from us however we never complained as this made it so peaceful for us and enjoyed the walk around the park to see all the other areas and accomadation, Views from lodge were fantastic. We arrived on the day of our daughters birthday and she really had a great week,staff were great all remembered her name and she took part in a lot of the Go active activities and really enjoyed them, as for night time entertainment we never when near it as the weather was great we sat outside the bar restaurant will our daughter played so we can not comment on this. Easy access to Dunoon town centre bus service from park if you have no car where there is a Morrisons which is great and cheap, very hilly if you have problems walking. All i can say is we had a fantastic time and will book again for next year looking forward to it and don't forget to get your discounted tickets before you go as this saves you a lot of money on the ferry.

The single most important factor on any ski break – especially a short ski break – is getting to the slopes fully suited and booted and raring to go!

Let us arrange your travel, accommodation, equipment hire and make sure that your transfers are as slick and comfortable as possible.

Chamonix remains our destination of choice – transfers from Geneva take around an hour, there's a huge choice of flights, the resorts in the valley offer infinite variety for all levels of skier from pow and thrill seekers to gentle blues in amongst staggeringly beautiful mountain scenery.

and making it work
On a short ski break time is at a premium and the critical factor in your ski weekend will be your travel arrangements. Get them right and you'll enjoy yourself. Get them wrong and your ski weekend's spoiled.
How you travel is your choice. We can offer scheduled flights with traditional and low cost airlines. We can also book ferry crossings or the Channel Tunnel.
Whichever you choose, we aim to get you to the ski resort feeling calm and stress free and ready to start your ski break on a high.
Whatever your option, call us and we will be happy to provide costings.
When choosing your resort there are a number of criteria to consider:
The choice is yours
Our flights, your flights, air miles, no frills or, club class, how you fly is up to you.
We are more than happy to organise flights for you and have access to all of the key European Alpine gateways.
If we book your flights, you will have financial protection of your holiday package under our ATOL licence.
Geneva, Zurich and Milan are our main inbound airports, but anything is possible, although to really maximise your ski time it is best to limit the transfer time between airport and ski resort to around two hours.
Regional departures make the whole travel experience more pleasant and our experts are happy to advise on the most suitable route to the snow.
Transfers can make or ruin a short break. Short and quick is the key to success.
We have a variety of options open to us to suit your budget; from hire cars to helicopters.
In the vast majority of cases we meet each individual flight i.e. just yours, however we do reserve the right to combine flights, but we would not expect anyone to wait more than one hour at the airport before heading off to the resort.
You can, by all means, request a private transfer at an additional cost.
We are one of the few UK based ski companies to have our own fully licensed transfer company. Weekend Travel Transfers SARL, based in Chamonix and travelling between Geneva and Chamonix most days. We are able to organise transfers on request and are extremely competitive on price.
Please feel free to ask us for a quote tel.
or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
For transfers from Geneva airport to Chamonix (approx. 70 minutes) when your flight's arrival and departure times are before or after normal skiing hours, we normally use our own vehicles. At other times and for larger groups or other resorts, we have an established team of transfer providers at our disposal – ranging from taxi services to luxury 50 seater coaches according to your requirements.
For a truly special experience nothing beats the drama and excitement of a helicopter straight from the airport to the resort.
The Choice is Yours
You will want to make the most of your ski weekend break, so there are a number of criteria to consider:
For the maximum time on the snow, you need to keep the transfer time to a minimum. It's worth choosing a ski resort where you are confident of good access even in heavy snowfalls, a good snow record and a mixture of skiing to suit the levels in your group are vital.
Other factors are après and non-skiing facilities and whether the resort is purpose built or traditional.

If you have AG, are you happy with its baking results? If you have had both, which gave better results? I have AG, and have been very happy, but wonder what may be eluding me.
Question 2: NYC dwellers, especially! If one MUST, no discussion possible, use a recirculating hood, what would be the max BTU burners that would make any sense? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't have a Wolf I have a DCS all gas. I was concerned going from electric oven to gas but my results have been fine for baking. I find for roasting it is even better. |
I have not baked in the AG Wolf but have baked in many different gas and electric ovens over the years. I don't think there is that much difference between gas and electric per se but the difference is the features. The DF has dual fans, third element convection and a straight convection mode. These will allow a more even heat when your oven is full. The DF has modes that allow you to direct the heat more from the bottom(bake) or top(roast). I think the temperature swing is a little less on the electric oven than on the gas oven but you might be able to get the exact number from the sales person. The broiler is infrared on the AG and electric on the DF. These features may or may not matter to you. I have the DF and never use the straight convection because it heats so evenly anyway. I do like the different modes. The Df also has a temp probe but you can easily buy this as a separate item. The DF also has self clean and one roller rack. |

I have the 30 AG Wolf range and have been very pleased with my baking results. I have been baking in AG ranges all of my 40 years, and have baked professionally in both gas and electric. I always rotate my pans halfway thru to ensure even baking (that's a habit left over from my pro-baking days). I find that in my current Wolf, If I have 3 sheets of cookies baking at the same time, it helps to rotate the top sheet to the bottom and vice versa, and that the sheet that started on the bottom ultimately needs an extra minute or two at the end (ie: the sheet that starts on the bottom takes longer to bake). I do not use the fan, but perhaps the fan may help more even baking between racks? It is something I'd like to experiment with when I have time. |

Hello palomalou, We thought we might be able to offer some assistance. Thank you for your interest in Wolf Appliances! Wolf manufactures two types of ranges, the Dual Fuel and the all Gas Range. We'd be happy to explain some of the differences. Dual Fuel Ranges have an electric oven with 10 modes of cooking and gas dual stacked surface burners, while all Gas Ranges are just that; gas ovens and gas surface burners. Some additional features are noted below: Dual Fuel Ranges (Electric Oven - Gas Top): - Dual stacked burners offer 15,000 BTU and one smaller 9,200 BTU burner that offers a melt feature, 325 BTU, for things such as chocolate. Pro Gas Ranges (Gas Oven - Gas Top): - Dual brass burners, 16,000 BTU, with automatic re-ignition at all settings. The Dual Fuel surface burners tend to give slightly more control in the simmer range. If you bake large batches of cookies and cakes then we suggest you focus on the Dual Fuel range with an electric oven. It will give great results and allows for multiple rack cooking and baking with convection. A favorite feature of our Gas Ranges with it's beautiful heavy duty stainless exterior is the Infrared oven broiler where you'll prepare perfect steaks that are seared on the exterior with the juices sealed in. Please see the following links for more information including specifications on both. Dual Fuel Range: Gas Range: In regards to your ventilation question, a recirculating Wolf blower can be used on our all burner 30" and 36" models. We do not recommend a recirculating kit be used on models with charbroilers or griddles. Our minimum CFM blower recommendation for ranges are listed below: 30" Range: 500 CFM The hood should be at least as wide as the range. Choosing a hood that is 6" larger in width will offer more capture area. You can find additional information via the Wolf Ventilation Guide linked below. If you have any further questions regarding this, please feel free to contact us directly. You can contact us via phone Mon-Fri. 8:00-5:00 CST at 800-222-7820. We can also be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you, Customer Care Team |

I thought the Wolf AG was supposed to be going over to the sealed burners, no? |
I was thinking that too. |

WEST WARWICK, R.I. — A reported break-in at an apartment building on Prospect Hill Avenue led to the arrest of a West Warwick man who police say was also connected to a break at a hair salon on Providence Street a few days earlier.
Derek Shippee, 25, of 9 Prospect Hill Ave., was charged with breaking and entering into a dwelling house and into the Astonishing Looks Hair Salon at 691 Providence St.
While processing the scene on Prospect Hill Avenue Wednesday, police say they recovered some of the stolen property.
Shippee was arraigned in District Court, Warwick, on Thursday and surety bail was set at $20,000. He is being held at the Intake Service Center of the Adult Correctional Institutions.
