BARRE — Vermont State Police say a 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by two men.
A Granite City man is now accused of having sex with the same girl with whom Wendel Excavation owner Bert Wendel is accused of having a sexual relationship.
Jonathan Amell, 20, pleaded not guilty to felonious sexual assault of a victim under 16 years old on Tuesday in Washington County criminal court. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
State police say the girl would sneak out at night and go to Wendel's house in Middlesex. Wendel pleaded not guilty to felonious sexual assault Monday.
According to the state police affidavit for Amell's case, the girl, Amell and Wendel were all at Wendel's house one night in December. State police said the girl told them she and Amell were drinking while Wendel was upstairs. The girl told state police she got "extremely intoxicated" that night, according to the affidavit.
At one point, she and Amell went outside for a cigarette, according to the girl. She said Amell asked her if she wanted to have sex and she said no. The girl said the next thing she remembered was walking out into the woods with Amell and that the two had sex, according to police.
State police said that during questioning, Amell denied being at Wendel's house and that there had been a sexual encounter. Wendel had initially denied having Amell at his home as well but eventually admitted Amell had been there on the night in question, according to police.
Amell's mother, Toni Lawrence, 51, of Barre, also admitted that Amell had been at Wendel's home after initially denying it, according to police.
State police said Lawrence was cited for giving false information to law enforcement for attempting to "keep the suspect and witness out of trouble." She is scheduled to appear in Washington County criminal court Feb. 21 to answer the charge.MORE IN This Just InTwo people were killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 91, one of several accidents on...

April 26: Mark & Jill Baumgardner, 2008. Happy 5th.
I have to say it. What a bunch of wimps. We elected them and we should be ashamed. I am talking about the U.S. Senators who voted no to background checks for the commercial purchase of guns at gun shows and online. This includes Indiana's own Dan Coats. Shame on you! My friends that hunt buy guns. They buy them from gun stores and every time they buy a gun they pass that background check. I think that these senators are just anti-business. The ones who voted no are trying to put the legitimate businesses out of business.
No more rant. Happy news:
Welcome Jon Luczak to the full-time staff at the Crown Point Fire-Rescue Department. He is a firefighter/paramedic who has worked part-time in the city and is awaiting the steps necessary for the state's pension process to clear. He is coming from the Schererville Fire Department where he has been since August 2005.
Dirk DeLor, who was a volunteer here in Crown Point working under his father, Fire Chief Greg DeLor, has left the nest. Since August of 2012, Dirk has been an assistant prosecuting attorney in Chicago and lives in Chicago.
Fire dog Jake is doing well in his training. Chief DeLor doesn't know the date yet as to when firefighter Ryan Cusack will be going down south to train with the dog.
Michelle Ross from Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Winfield will be spending the next two years in the Archdiocese of Houston, working in Galveston. This is part of her Echo program at the University of Notre Dame. At the same time she will be studying for her master's degree in theology. Ross is a graduate of both Merrillville High School and soon to be from Indiana University in Bloomington.
City Engineer Tris Miles suggested to the Plan Commission that it might be time for the city to consider a dust-free zone. He is referring to the gravel parking lots that are approved in industrial zones within the city. Perhaps he should ask the Plan Commission to require oiling the parking lots similar to oiling the gravel streets as was the custom just 100 years ago. I do not know if the private owners of the gravel parking lots could be compelled to do that. It might be easier to no longer allow any gravel parking, but require paving throughout the city. Hmmm!
April 29: A non-partisan rally against a Lake County income tax will take place in the 4H building of the Lake County Fairgrounds at 6 p.m. Lake County Commissioner Gerry Scheub, D-Crown Point, an opponent of the proposed 1.5 percent personal income tax, will be speaking. Larry Blanchard, former Republican Lake County councilman from the 7th District now works for Scheub. Blanchard will be there to answer questions about the proposed tax. Former chairwoman of the Lake County Republican Pary Kim Krull will be there to collect signatures of taxpayers against the tax. The petition is online at www.gopetition.com/petitions/stop-a-lake-county-income-tax.html. By the time you get that keyed in correctly it might be faster just to go to the rally.

"I used a white cake mix and chocolate chips and they were pretty good. They were a little too sweet I think, which apparently I don't mind in cake-form but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as a cookie. I'd like to try these out with other cake mixes, though. Thank you for the recipe!"

Many companies jumped at the opportunity to leverage the low IT wage rates, which were prevalent in other countries, as a way to reduce their project costs. The first projects were simple, "non-value added," Y2K projects where programmers abroad employed "rote" methods to change millions of lines of procedural code. Since then, companies have endeavored to make the offshore model work in more challenging circumstances.
Changing or modifying existing code, upgrading systems to be compatible with later versions of COTS products, is not the same as designing and implementing new strategic projects.
Ben Bernanke, when he was the nominee for the Chair of the Federal Reserve Board recognized the risks and said:
"For the foreseeable future, most high-value work will require creative interaction among employees, interaction that is facilitated by physical proximity, personal contact, and shared cultural experiences. Moreover, in many fields, closeness to customers and knowledge of local conditions are also of great importance."
He said this was particularly true of "high-value jobs."
Additionally, as work became increasingly "virtualized" by information technology, studies were undertaken in the late 80's and early 90's which pointed out the risk.
"Projects with all the key stakeholders adjacent and on the same floor had a higher success rate than those separated by floors in the same building, or even across campus or town."
Separation by time, distance and culture increases risk to already technically challenging activities. Management should be trying to reduce risk, not magnify it. Failure, even at half the previous cost, is not a management option.
Delaying the delivery of a project means:
In order to help clients mitigate these kinds of risks, OCI has developed services and has been engaged at several levels.

We have a gorgeous honed and filled travertine floor but now we have a couple of spots where the original "fill" has popped out. Is there a filler to repair these areas? It is just a couple of 1" circle areas that need to be fixed. |

You want Tenax filler. Its a bit messy to deal with, and you want to be sure to have plenty of ventilation, but it does the trick. |

Verizon and New Jersey Agree 4G Service Equivalent to Broadband Internet
Unknown Lamer posted about 9 months ago | from the buying-regulators-for-fun-and-profit dept.
155An anonymous reader writes with news that Verizon and New Jersey regulators have reached a deal releasing Verizon from their obligation to have brought 45Mbps broadband to all NJ residents by 2010. Instead, 4G wireless service is considered sufficient. From the article: "2010 came and went and a number of rural parts of the state are still living with dial-up or subpar DSL. And even though the original deal was made in the days of modems and CompuServe, its crafters had the foresight to define broadband as 45Mbps, which is actually higher than many Verizon broadband customers receive today. ... In spite of that, and the thousands of legitimate complaints from actual New Jersey residents, the BPU voted unanimously yesterday to approve a deal with Verizon ... According to the Bergen Record, Verizon will no longer be obligated to provide broadband to residents if they have access to broadband service from cable TV providers or wireless 4G service. ... Residents who happen to live in areas not served by cable or wireless broadband can petition Verizon for service, but can only get broadband if at least 35 people in a single census tract each agree to sign contracts for a minimum of one year and pay $100 deposits."

I currently have a Sealy Posturepedic Body Right Montgomery Woods plush matress. I have been extremely happy with it and want to pass it on to my daughter. Which current Sealy matress is a exact (close as possible) replacement? Thanks Jason
Hi Jason. Unless your mattress is only a year or so old, there is no exact replacement. Models names for mattresses vary from store to store. You'd have to know what is in yours to shop effectively for one that is "as close as possible. The model name will mean more to your local dealers...if you can find one that remembers it. The problem is, you shouldn't have any trouble finding one that will pretend to.

Fitness Machines
Fitness machines can deliver a concentrated workout that allows many different benefits depending on the type of fitness machine and the goals of the user. The most common feature of fitness machines is the use of an ergometer, which allows users to measure how much work they have performed on the fitness machine.
Fitness machines range from the very simply to extremely complex, and each type of fitness machine fits a specific purpose. There are fitness machines that rely on friction, springs, machines, hydraulic equipment and more. On top of this, a fitness machine may also be able to monitor distances, calories expended, heart rate, inclines and declines and simulate different conditions you would find in a naturally occurring exercise environment.
Some common fitness machines you will find at gyms and fitness centres across Australia include:
- Treadmills
- Elliptical Machines
- Glider Machines
- Rowing Machines
- Stationary Bicycles
On top of this, many gyms feature weight-based machines that use a system of ropes, pulleys, metal bars or handles and gravity to focus on a specific muscle or muscle groups. These can offer targeted workouts that often allow a greater degree of control or safety than could otherwise be performed with free weights. They may also allow certain exercises that would necessitate the use of a spotter or gym partner.
Fitness machines can allow you to exercise in a controlled environment, and they may also allow you to monitor your progress and measure your fitness more accurately. Elements such as inclement weather, traffic, air or noise pollution can be avoided with the use of fitness machines, and people exercising can even take advantage of additional benefits such as televisions or music while using fitness machines.
You can find a range of information, products and services at fitness.com.au relating to fitness machines. Use fitness.com.au to find the advice you need, and don't hesitate to contact a professional if you would like to know more about fitness machines.

Often described as one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in the whole of the United Kingdom, Cornwall offers an excellent backdrop to any occasion including family holidays through to a wedding or Christmas party, plus has plenty to offer in terms of fun-filled and laid back activities. Our stunning hotel is based in the heart of a beautiful sandy bay, occupying a dramatic waterfront location and boasting direct access to our own beach that has a Blue Flag accreditation. For those looking at wedding hotels in Cornwall, you will not find many better examples in the area, nestled as we are above 25 acres of unbroken golden sands with spectacular panoramic views of the sea. In terms of tradition and history with over 100 years of top class service this has given us the necessary experience to look after guests to the highest of standards, combined with the Carbis Bay in a landmark setting, being internationally recognised as one of the most beautiful bays and beaches anywhere in the world, guests can look forward to a truly unforgettable time here. St Ives Bay is a proud member of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World organisation, one of only two bays in the country that has qualified for this exclusive membership. As Carbis Bay is in the heart of part of this stunning area it is easy to see why we are consistently referred to as being one of the best hotels in St Ives. We offer a complete hotel service and as a family run business you will find our staff extremely attentive.
Over the years we have turned our stunning hotel into a tranquil paradise, with courteous and friendly staff ready to look after your every need. Our attention to detail is evident from the time you first arrive, and you will come to appreciate that it is in fact embedded in the culture and tradition of the hotel. There is something for everyone here and no matter what mood you are in we have the perfect holiday ingredients. As one of the premium luxury hotels in St Ives you can expect to enjoy comfortable individually furnished rooms, of which there are forty seven, and the opulence of first class room service. Hotel amenities include spacious lounges where you are very welcome to come and relax, our splendid and magnificent conservatory overlooking the ocean where you are urged to come and have a cocktail or two. We have been described in many different ways, but one of the best and most apt descriptions is somewhere that has a wonderful combination of coastal grandeur, beach location and food anywhere in the country. Our recently built cottages and suite apartments also offer the chance of first rate self catering in St Ives, which are located in an idyllic and restful wooded valley within the grounds of the hotel.
With our uninterrupted views of St Ives Bay and Carbis Bay's golden sands, we offer a truly unique setting for a wedding coupled with years of catering experience and an exceptional level of service, we believe that our hotel is genuinely the ideal location for a wedding. As you would expect of a first class establishment, we provide a wedding coordinator who will be on hand to help with all aspects of the wedding. From selecting the most appropriate menu to ensuring that the Master of Ceremonies and Toast Master duties are fulfilled, as one of the few top wedding hotels in Cornwall you will find our wedding package to be very flexible. In terms of the catering we have a Grand Buffet, which gives the bride and groom-to-be the opportunity to provide the ultimate experience in decorated food. For anyone with special requests we are happy to cater for your exact requirements, such as vegetarian options or strict dietary menus. When on holiday there are plenty of people who enjoy the convenience and freedom of self-catering, and we have managed to deliver just that whilst giving guests the chance to enjoy the facilities and amenities of an award winning hotel. Choosing self catering in St Ives with us will also mean you are just a brief stroll from one of the best beaches in the country enabling you to make the most of one of the UK's most scenic and charming locations at your leisure.
We boast having a superior range of accommodations that include luxury apartments, contemporary beach houses, traditional cottages built in granite, comfortable bungalows, and a host of other unique properties. The hotel owns and manages all the properties and as such you can expect the same high level of excellence as you would find in the resort and hotel. To get you in the mood for a luxurious vacation a welcome pack made up of a bottle of wine, box of Cornish handmade chocolates, fresh flowers and complimentary water are provided, which is just one of the reasons we are regularly rated as one of the best hotels St Ives. Our properties can be rented on a daily basis if available and at certain times of the year we offer mini-break packages. However each is normally let on a weekly basis running from one Saturday to the next. As part of our commitment to our guests' enjoyment, we offer discounted meals when you dine in one of our restaurants and the full use of all the facilities in the hotel ranging from the heated outdoor swimming pool. The newly built luxury apartments are located on the edge of the beach offering the ultimate in luxury modern accommodation, whilst the luxury cottages, also recently built, have been designed to offer a touch of class and elegance as you would expect to find in any luxury hotels St Ives and are perfectly suited to those that demand quality living.
Aside from the cottages and luxury apartments we also have beach houses that are located directly above the Carbis Bay's own private beach that have uninterrupted views from St Ives Bay all the way to Godrevy lighthouse. We also have some modern bungalows that offer comfortable accommodation just a short walk away from local amenities. For something a bit different, consider staying in The Old Schoolhouse, one of the flagship properties of Carbis Bay. Here you can enjoy a spacious property with double en-suite bedrooms, luxury bathrooms and vaulted chandeliered ceilings. Another example of an alternative to hotel accommodation St Ives is our luxury beach houses, stunning properties that have magnificent sea view across the bay. For anyone seriously considering a wedding in Cornwall, we can offer a bespoke service and offer such extras as a pianist, who is available to play during the wedding ceremony and breakfast, and can offer a variety of different entertainment and cabaret. Fireworks can also be launched from our own beach, which will certainly add a spectacular backdrop to a memorable evening. In terms of wines we have an interesting assortment to complement any menu plus a choice of champagnes and sparkling wines when the time comes to make a toast. So if you are in the market for wedding hotels in Cornwall then you can be confident that we will look after you on this very special occasion.
Those that want to take a holiday but prefer to have similar facilities as they would do at home should check out our range of serviced apartments, such as the Sunny Lyn apartments. Each of these comes with a fully fitted kitchen, washing machine, dishwasher, two double bedrooms, dining room, lounge, bathroom and separate cloakroom. Self catering in St Ives does not get much better than this, and guests of these apartments can enjoy ample parking and a maid service is also available upon request. The hotel has a same day laundry service whilst bed linen is also provided. However the best feature has to be the path that leads to the beach that is situated directly opposite the apartments. It is clear to us and many hundreds if not thousands of guests that have stayed here, that of the hotels in St Ives ours represents pure luxury and an excellent base from where to visit the moors of West Cornwall and the unique landscape of The Lizard. The Tate Gallery and St Michael's Mount are just two of the local attractions not to be missed and as well as the Carbis Bay, there are plenty of other magnificent beaches such as the three miles of majestic golden sands in Hayle. Evening entertainment at the hotel should also be experienced and is perfect after a day's sightseeing. Our hotel accommodation St Ives provides such acts as a light jazz band, pianists and a family magic show, so something for everyone.

Hi, Caelian, I have SIPs (sub-irrigated planters), and have learned that the roots of whatever plants I have growing in them eventually reach the water reservoir, and grow just fine in the water. I have read that they are "water roots" and are healthy unless you let the water dry out, and then they die. I didn't expect it, but I guess its normal. Attached photo shows my summer squash. Their roots are in the water too. |

I've always wanted to make one, and today I finally did ~ my very first Victoria Sandwich. I used Delia Smith's recipe and it turned out quite well. Next time I will use less buttercream (or perhaps splurge with whipped Double Devon Cream) and jam, but Tall and Handsome had no complaints, so it must have been okay! Here's a brilliant 8-minute video with step-by-step instructions. This version is by-hand, but as you can see in my photographs above, I used a Kitchen-Aid mixer.
Two new 7-inch cake tins: $9.
Fresh eggs, butter, sugar, and flour: $5.
Slice of homemade Victoria Sponge and a cup of tea: Priceless.

Spooky Ghost Story Time.
About 15 years ago I was staying on property with my cousin, mom and aunt. My cousin and I were sharing a room. One morning, around 5 am, I woke up to roll over and in my half asleep state I could have sworn that I saw to people in white bathrobes, with white towels over their arms, heading out the door (like they were on their way to the pool). The figures moved forward and then faded away. Very strange. Did anybody drown in a pool there?
Deja Vu All Over Again (another weird story).
When I was younger I had a dream that Goofy was hanging over me with his hand stretched out to me. A few years later I was working at the Disney Store, and while I was talking to my manager I had a weird case of deja vu. When I looked up, I saw a Horace Horsecollar (who looks sort of like a horse version of Goofy) decoration figure hanging over me with his hand stretched out. [insert spooky music here]

Gender Selection
Name: Dion Status: Other Grade: Other Location: N/A Country: United States Date: May 2005
How is gender selected at conception? Is it random or are there reasons -- i.e. acidity levels temperature at conception? Does the sperm have a precursor to give off the X or Y chromosome?
The sex of a child is determine at coneption by whether a sperm carrying a Y chromosome or a sperm carrying an X chromosome fertilizes the egg. If the fertilizing sperm carries an Y chromosome, the embryo develops into a male. In humans, 51.4% of the time the egg is fertilized by a Y carrying sperm (the sex ratio at birth is 106 males for every 100 females. The reason why the sex ratio is not exactly 50% is not known but possible theories are that Y sperm swim faster because the Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome or that the Y sperm live longer than the X chromosome bearing sperm for some reason.
Ron Baker, Ph.D.
Well, probability wise, it is supposed to be random. Half the sperm have a Y and half have an X. But some research shows that the biochemistry of the female reproductive system may be more receptive to Y or X sperm.

Chris Butcher finally weighs in on the hot topic of the last few weeks :
Much to the detriment of my making friends at retailer get-togethers, I think this is more of a non-issue than anyone would care to admit, a matter of principle that doesn't even come close to playing out in the real world. I'm actually a lot more concerned, on the release-date front, about Diamond's continuing inability to process books that they receive as a distributor as fast as the bookstore chains. Most bookstores are receiving manga, "mainstream" book publishers graphic novel releases, and magazines like Giant Robot, between a day and a month before Diamond gets them into my store. This week Diamond shipped Negima Volume 16, and I've had that direct from Del Rey since before Christmas! Maybe it's easier to issue veiled threats against independent publishers than it is against Diamond? There are serious distribution inequities within the direct market, but I don't think this position paper begins to addresses them… they certainly aren't coming from 100 copies of Kramers Ergot at the San Diego Comic-Con.
Butcher on Pre-selling
That's true. The Barnes and Nobles' got thier copies of Chris Ware books about a month before the comic book stores got theirs.
I bought Amulet at Borders about a month ago, and it just showed up comic book stores through Diamond last week… although that was published by Scholastic, so maybe distributing through Diamond was just an afterthought for them.
Amulet is the example I was thinking of too. We're getting it this week, and I just realized a couple weeks ago that it was out, and was about to order it from Baker & Taylor despite having already ordered it from Diamond.
If Diamond can't hit the same release date, it'd be nice if they'd warn us about that, but it seems they only offer a "This might be in stores before we get it to you" about half the time, at best.
Oh, and Chris is dead on in general here. This is but one of the bigger issues to be tackled instead of publishers selling their books at conventions.
I know that despite my constant and repeated early reminders and prodding, Random House found themselves unable to meet Diamonds' deadlines to have my Squirrelly Gray book available in bookstores and comic book stores at the same time. I think just the fact that Diamond is kind of off their radar makes them slow to respond to Diamonds needs.
I think you're going to start seeing more comics retailers going direct to the major book publishers not only to get the same shipping considerations as the big box retailers, but for the returnability options and better terms.
I do think that comics publishers have grown too dependent on the convention sales and lose wholesale sales (which it seems are more profitable for them) as a result.

I have approximately 30 hydrangea in my new yard. The count includes different varieties. In the past, the previous owner of the property kept them warm through the Michigan winter w/ barrels & mulch. Which provided amazing blooms. We have had an early frost followed by several days of low 20 degree weather and I am concerned that we could go to great lengths to protect them when the moment has already passed. Can anyone tell me if barreling them will be productive still or if I should put my energies elsewhere? Thanks so much!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The roots should be fine, which is the critical thing. The stems and the flower buds at the end of the stems may be another story. If the flower buds were damaged on plants that produce flower buds from old wood, weel yes, that is bad... you will not get flowers in the Spring but, eventually, you WILL get more blooms even if you have wait as late as Spring 2015. Much earlier if they are rebloomers. If they bloom on new wood, the buds will not be developed until SPring so they will be fine. And if the stems were damaged, you will get new stems from the base or crown in the Spring of 2014. So they should not be in bad shape even though you MAY have to wait for flowers; go ahead and protect them. Luis PS - Paniculatas and arborescens bloom on new wood in the Spring so, temps going down to the 20s now should not affect the plant or the flower buds that have yet to be developed; they can hardy to Zone 4 or less! Serratas should be fine thru Zone 6; oakleafs thru Zone 5. Most macrophyllas should be good thru Zone 6; with rebloomers good thru Z5 or so. |

It's difficult to say for sure but I think a few days of 20 degrees is OK for the buds, so my guess would be if you cover them now, you'll get blooms next year. I'm assuming you have macrophylla's since the previous owner went to the trouble of protecting them. |
I still haven't got a chance to cover my. I have Glower Ember and lacecapes that should really be protected. I can only hope that these will come back next year. Some other varieties like Incrediball, Pinky Winky, Vanilla Strawberry, Limelight, Forever and Ever and Endless Summer, I was told that they would do fine without protection. I don't know how true that is but I'm planning to cover them up anyway.... if i can get to it this long weekend. |

GE will do fine from the stand point of the plant coming back but the flower buds may have been affected. If so, it will leaf out but not produce blooms. I would still winter protect it asap. ES and FE too. If their flower buds were affected then only their first & earliest blooms of the 2014 season would have been affected. So instead of getting early bloomage, you would get blooms in June-July. Ish. The rest of them produce flower buds in the Spring so they will be fine. Good luck, Joopster. |
Thanks luis_pr. I will try to get it all done this weekend. With twins toddlers it's so hard to get any me time. |
If you're in zone 5 (and probably 6) and don't cover Endless Summer, you may not get blooms at all. If it dies to the roots, my experience is that you'll be luck to get sporadic bloom if any. I just covered mine over the weekend. While I was concerned about it being a little late as well, all the leaves still hadn't dropped on them, and the buds still looked fine. (No guarantees, of course!) |
Thanks for all the input. All supplies have been purchased and the covering begins today!!! |

The Spartans, famed for their worship of the real-time tech tree of Euripides, liked nothing more than to build large, colourful bases before battle.
Spartan soldiers, history demonstrates, were born as adults. These unfortunate few appeared spontaneously in their barracks when the general had gathered enough gold, causing philosophical consternation across ancient Greece. Spartan generals were routinely frustrated by the slow pace of gold collection. This lack of pace made skirmishing a chore, and the production of their unborn soldiers a laborious endeavour.
Spartan generals knew that gold was the main limiting factor of their war, and that it would ultimately make conflict an unbalanced affair. Many Spartan generals totally wished they were Romans, hence the origin of the phrase "Resource Manageria Crappus Is."
Unlike many other historical armies, the Spartans had no basic unit type, and had to manually configure their troop types based on the weapons available to them. Creating workshops to develop new kinds of swords and shields was essential as the Spartans had no cultural memory, and forgot what they had developed between conflicts.
There is no evidence to suggest that the Spartans were able to use tactics in battle. They would generally just charge at their enemy in a large mob, grinding them down and killing them by force of numbers. The better the weapons their base had invented, the faster they would kill their enemies. Occasionally they would build walls and towers, but that wasn't really necessary for most battles, which depressed Spartan architects.
Additionally, some Spartan heroes were famed for their special, near-magical abilities, which did little to change the course of a battle.
Overall, Sparta was one of the most mediocre ancient civilisations. Visually they were crude, relying on faux Greek designs and primary colours for the caricature-like basis of their entire culture. They moved poorly, like cold lizards, and they spoke in an uncomfortable British accent, as if they were all rather unfamiliar with the words and had sat too far from the mic.
Worst still, there's no evidence that the Spartans ever had any interesting battles. All of their conflicts were stilted, predictable affairs, without any grandeur or epic sweep. They certainly won't be remembered by generations to come, not when there are other civilisations whose warfare is innovative and challenging, and not dispensed via an overused and age-old template.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rusty!
Facts about Rusty
- Breed: Beagle/Shar Pei Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Rusty's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Oct. 2, 2012: Rusty is currently re-learning what housebreaking means =) He is living a with other dogs and learning to go to the door when he has to go potty. Rusty is adventurous and stubborn which is typical of the Beagle breed, but he is very food motivated and now knows to 'sit' and 'beg' for treats.
Rusty is a nature small game hunting breed that shows great interest in small animals (such as rabbits and ferrets) so he needs a family where he can be the center of attention.
Rusty's medical conditions will require constant upkeep. This includes medicated baths at least once a week, and anti-inflammatories to control the overactive reactions of skin glands on his face, legs, and tail. He is great with getting baths and loves the treats he gets after it =)
He is ok with getting his eye drops but again, working with treats will help him along ;-)
Rusty is a good dog, loves his cuddles with people, and loves being around everyone. He gets along with other dogs (resting his head on those who will let him), he's decent on leash and loves to let his nose lead him everywhere.
If you open your heart and home to Rusty, he will love and entertain you forever.
May 19, 2012: Rusty is house trained if walked regularly or crated but requires puppy pads when not and is trained to go on the pads.
He is a relaxed and calm dog who gets along with everyone and just needs to be around people! He is not very active and likes to cuddle in bed with his human.
When surround by many cats, Rusty shows no real interest. He will interact with other dogs but doesn't really play with them. He is OK with them playing around and even on him!
He is calmest, sweetest dog you will ever meet and would be good in a house with seniors, kids, cats, dogs and most of all his furever parent(s).
Please fill out an adoption application if you would like to share your home and love with Rusty!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rusty, a Wilmington Beagle/Shar Pei dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle/Shar Pei for sale in Wilmington, or seeking a Beagle/Shar Pei dog from a breeder in Wilmington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Wilmington 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 Wilmington 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 Beagle/Shar Pei breeders who help with Beagle/Shar Pei rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Wilmington paves the way for another one to be saved.

11 December 2007
Advisers to the UK's main faith groups have met for the first time marking the launch of a unique legal network designed to tackle the interface between law and religion.
The first of its kind in the UK, the Interfaith Legal Adviser Network has been established by Cardiff Law School's Centre of Law and Religion. The first meeting began dialogue on timely debates, such as public religious symbols and wider discussions about impartiality and religious dress.
Developed in response to the large number of recent high profile court cases involving religious symbolism, and the considerable challenges for faith groups by an increase in State law on religion, advisers to the Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Orthodox, United Reformed Church, Church of England, Church of Scotland, Church in Wales, Quaker, Mormon and the Order of St Lazarus faiths, were invited to the Network. Professor Norman Doe, Director of the Centre of Law and Religion said: "The meeting was a huge success. While from a diverse range of religious traditions, the advisers all welcomed the opportunity to share their views and learn from each other. A number of common experiences and issues emerged from their discussions."
Providing all members with a greater understanding of their respective religious legal systems and legal issues faced, particularly at the interface with the civil law of the State, the meeting revealed how advisers use internal rules to run their organisation, how these rules reflect religious beliefs, how there are great similarities in the subjects dealt with by these rules, and their importance in running these organisations.
Anthony Jeremy, a legal adviser in the Church in Wales, said: "We certainly welcome this imaginative initiative. It was an excellent first event and served to demonstrate that we all face similar opportunities and challenges, especially in coping with very fast-moving developments in civil law on religion.
"Each faith shares the need to have rules in place, and it was apparent that there exists a remarkable legal similarity between us - that really was an eye opener."
The meeting also involved a discussion of papers by Frank Cranmer, Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre and Secretary of the Church Main Committee who provided an overview of recent developments in civil law on religion, and Professor Peter Luxton, author of The Law of Charities, who spoke of recent changes in charity law and their impact on religion.
The Network will meet again in six months' time and will become an established feature of the work of the Centre for Law and Religion, with ongoing discussions which are hoped to contribute to greater interfaith collaboration. Topics for discussion at the next meeting will include interfaith marriages and the impact of the Equality Act on religion.
Leading barristers Samantha Knights, author of Freedom of Religion, Minorities and the Law, Neil Addison, author of Religious Discrimination and Hatred Law, and Mark Hill, Honorary Professor at Cardiff Law School and author of Ecclesiastical Law also attended the meeting, alongside Centre members Russell Sandberg, Revd Gareth Powell, Alexandra Araujo, and Layla Wilkie-Buckley, as well as Dr Ian Kenway, Director of the Centre for the International Study of Cyberethics and Human Rights at Cardiff University.

In the rulebook, under Resolving an Engagement - Step 5 Pg. 20 -
A player does not have the option to pass during thisstep. If he has at least one ready participating unit, it must focus to strike.
and pg. 23 concluding the resolve strikes step - After all units participating in the engagement are exhausted (either by striking, by receiving a focus token during a ∫ icon resolution, or by other card effects), the resolve strikes step is over.
The unopposed extra damage is awarded in Step 6 after the above has been completed.
Would this mean that if Red 2 goes in unopposed and destroys the objective using the Unopposed bonus, he would be ready coming out of the battle?
I think it would as the damage was dealt after the Resolve Strike step which requires all participants to be focused. Step 6 has no such requirement.

That's what Chinese hackers were looking for, according to federal prosecutors who have charged members of the Chinese military with cyber theft and more.
The 31-count indictment, revealed Monday, marks a dramatic escalation of U.S. government efforts to combat Chinese state-sponsored corporate espionage.
"The Chinese are going after every single economic advantage they can obtain," said former federal prosecutor Thomas Brown, now a cybersecurity expert with FTI Consulting. "Decades of time spent developing technologies are being ripped off and stolen everyday."
Here's what the feds say the Chinese hackers did:
China has denied the allegations, saying it has never engaged in the cyber theft of trade secrets.
Related story: Chinese hackers spied on U.S. companies
The kind of spying China is accused of can yield valuable information and give the country's businesses a much-needed boost. Westinghouse spent a significant amount of money designing the special pipes that are the defining feature of its AP1000 pressurized water reactor. Stealing those plans means that a Chinese nuclear plant builder might be able to skip costly research and development.
"How much money is spent on failures? The Chinese can avoid all that," said Christopher Tarbell, a former member of the FBI's cybercrime squad.
This is a particularly critical issue in the solar power industry, where Chinese manufacturers have flooded the global market with cheap solar panels and undercut U.S. firms. SolarWorld issued a statement thanking the U.S. Justice Department for stepping in.
"It's yet another example of the Chinese government's systematic campaign to seek unfair advantage in the U.S and global solar industry. Already, dozens of U.S. companies have closed operations, and thousands of U.S. employees have lost their jobs," SolarWorld said.

Why all the attention paid to steel? American metal is consistently better quality. It's not enough to melt iron ore, coal and limestone. Forging it is an art with highly-guarded secrets. Chinese manufacturers are good at making low-cost steel used in bridges, but American firms are better at making the lightweight versions used in fuel-efficient cars.
The steelworkers union called the revelation "troubling." Alcoa downplayed the news, saying "no material information was compromised." Westinghouse and U.S. Steel declined to comment.
In total, secretive economic attacks cost U.S. firms billions in lost profits and destroyed jobs, said cybersecurity expert David Kennedy, whose TrustedSec firm advises companies that have been attacked this way.
And once the hackers have breached a company's defenses, it's much easier to make the leap from data theft to outright sabotage. Hackers with access to the computers that control a factory's machines, for example, might be able to disrupt the production process just before a pivotal delivery deadline.
"That's not farfetched at all," warned Jonathan Pollet, a hacker who founded Red Tiger Security and advises energy companies.

I think your choice of Attorney David Lane was an extremely poor choice, to address legal issues surrounding the arrest of the CU student, Max Carson, who 'spoke in defense of the murderer at VTU. If you were going to have a liberal attorney, express his opinion, why did you not give the other side the chance to express an opinion more in tune with the thinking of the people. I think your choice of David lane was in extremely poor taste, and disrespectful to the general opinion of the people of this country, mourning the loss the students at VTU.
BEST TV NEWSCAST -- NIGHT Denver 2006 - Channel 4
Readers' Choice: 9News
Since the '70s, 9News has dominated the 10 p.m. ratings -- but Channel 4 finally appears ready to chip away at that station's nighttime lead. Veteran forecaster Larry Green's on the way out, but morning-sider Ed Greene should seamlessly fill his green-screen silhouette, and sportscaster Vic Lombardi, replacing outgoing Steve Atkinson, is a definite upgrade. They join solid anchor duo Jim Benemann and Molly Hughes and an impressive batch of reporters led by top investigator Brian Maass to form a crew that overflows with potential.

Okay, I really hate to sound out the alarm, but has anoyone heard from Pamela lately? I've written to her several times, and did a search and she hasn't posted since late November.
I'm only freaked because I woke up this morning from a bad dream that involved her. No idea what the dream was, and I couldn't get back to sleep. Okay, okay, I know this is weird, but I've mentioned before I think I'm part witch and I hate it when I feel this way. It's just so odd for her not to write me back and not to post here. I hope everything is alright! I've written to her again. And of course, my catholic guilt little voice keeps telling me "you must have done something to offend her!" But I'm dashed if I know what that could be!! Pamela? You out there sweetie? Love,
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh, no, no, dear Ivette! Forgive me, I've been away for two weeks (my mother and father are failing and we wanted to have one last "super" memory with them) and have been busy as a head hostess for our city's historic home tour, happening today and tomorrow. I got back yesterday and now came to the computer to check mail and the forum and saw your post. I miss you, and want to see you. AND your house project! And your Dx2S (who, by the way, was not acting up when I saw him last. He just wanted to be part of things.) Holiday lunch or b'fast, close to you?... Maybe with Deb and Maureen and Sue???... I'll get through the event this weekend, and then email everyone. I'm here, and, well--just slammed. Thanks for the APB. So nice to be noticed as missing. See you soon! |
(((Pamela)))~ I'm glad you're ok ~ and so sorry your DM & DD are getting to this point. I'm happy for you that you had this opportunity with them. Stay well. Thanks Trooper Ivette for locating Pamela (lol)!!! |
Call off the dogs!!! Whew! Boy am I relieved, thanks for your email Pam and I'm really glad you're okay. I'm sorry Mum and Dad are not, jeez what a drag. I'm TOTALLY game for a breakfast gettogether next weekend with the local gang. Pauliiiiiines: jetBlue is cheap!! Ivette |
Part witch? Catholic guilt voice? Speaking French? (My mind is whizzing!) Pamela, I'm glad all is well! |
Oh how I'd love to meet up with you all Ivette. As you probably know though, the timing isn't great (I must find employment-lol) I'll be thinking of you all!!! |
Pamela, How did the home tour turn out? Meet your expectations and raise some charitable dollars? Spot any new trends in holiday decor? |
AnnaLee-- Hi! I think of you often and try to think of how we might meet again! The tour went very well, thanks for asking, the weather was great, and I think we had record crowds. The decorators did a nice job--little bit of everything, 'tho I can't think of anything they did that would be a real "trend." One decorator placed 11 frogs of all types throughout the house and we told people to try to count them. That went over well. Another one put strings of green mini-lights (lit) inside wine bottles and grouped them on top of the kitchen cabinets. Nice effect. Another one covered the powder room toilet seat with full-blown red rose heads. Slightly silly. Another painted gold the white leather portion of several pair of figure skates, and hung them on pegs with lots of assorted greenery. Lots of clever little things. Someone tucked the silverware on the holiday table into little red Christmas stockings. How did your Festival of Trees go? Any great new tree concepts? Or a hot gift shop item? Ours did pretty well here, but the event is ready for a new component of SOMETHING. It will probably move to a new larger venue next year, so there's room for something new. Man, it gets tougher and tougher to raise real money each year... |
Glad it went well, Pamela! I am intrigued by the green mini-lights in the wine bottles and the painted skates with greens. Festival went well and we raised close to $80,000. That was up over $25,000 from last year, so the committee is pretty happy. I adapted your theatre idea and created a "Give my Regards to Broadway" tree with lots of gold lights (for the bright light of BW) on a gold wire tree with a red faux "fur wrap" garland. It was bright and brash with golds, reds and blues from the playbills and provided a textural contrast to the nearby green trees. A NY actor happened by the display and was pleased that the play that occupied the top spot on the tree was one he appeared in last year so that was fun. I also created a Black Tie & Tails Tree with champagne glasses and silver slippers, many more silvery ornaments and a black top hat at the top. One of the entrants created an interactive Frosty the Snowman tree with snow coming out of the top hat Frosty was wearing and falling down the tree. He also sang his signature song if you pressed his hand. It created quite a lot of interest among children and adults. An artist created a "Twelve Days of Christmas" theme with hilarious hand-made renditions of each verse. Two of the Five Calling Birds were talking on cell phones. The Drummers Drumming were actually famous modern drummers and a pair of the geese a-laying were actually in bed together. Another unique tree was created by a stained glass artist. He constructed churches out of wood and designed & installed replicas of the stained glass windows of famous French catherdals. He added gargoles and gothic angels. It was purchased and donated to a local Catholic church. We had a tiny pink feather tree with minature bottles of nail polish which all the little girls wanted, so we could have sold a dozen versions of it! All in all, we ended up with about 78 trees and our head designer had wonderful themes for the top sponsor trees created from lush materials. One was in limes and rich russet on a lightly flocked tree. It is just magical and is installed in a medical office where the patients are raving about it. Back to my cookies! Hope you have a chance to rest. The parenting parent time is very intense for both of us, I think. |
AnnaLee-- I LOVE these descriptions!!! Your event is so big and high-quality. Congrats on the huge increase. I'm sure you already know how that money can be used. I'll share these great ideas with some friends who design trees for the event. I think I could donate a couple small pink feather/nail polish trees next year. What a great idea! One of my friends did a Viva Las Vegas tree, with fans of tiny playing cards glued together, garlands of dice and beads, and red martini glasses tipping over with cranberries and ice cubes glued inside. Lots of ornaments on the theme. Another did a white Wizard of Oz tree with a yellow brick road garland and all the large size dolls and striped witch stockings, tin funnels, hot air balloon, poppies, etc. OK--I'm thinking of how we can all meet this Spring. Maybe in NYC...??? |
Pamela, Vegas & Oz - GREAT ideas! Thanks so much! ALF |
Spring in NYC sounds wonderful! Perhaps we could start early and organize another KF get-together? I would love to see you all! |
I am so usually over in Cooking (or travelling before session) that I miss you guys. Pamela ..we need to plan a trip to see ALF's trees next year too, esp since there IS parking at BWI Amtrak or really do a roadtrip this time. Yowza!!! |
What a good idea (2 good ideas)! Trees will be November 17 to 19th, 2006! MzA - your one Christmas ornament was out of stock and never came in! I forgot to write to you with all the parent/hurricane stuff happening. pauline - it is always a pleasure to see you & you'll be a KD by spring with stories to tell. |
Yes, yes! Let's plan a NYC thing in the spring, and the AFL forest in the Fall. Got to have things to look forward to, don't you think? I will make murmurs in January to get us planning ahead. Plus, Pauline needs to put in for vacation at her new job!! |

Jimmy Carter
Former President Jimmy Carter says he has written a book critical of the Bush administration "with some hesitation and trepidation."
Not much hesitancy was on view Thursday morning, however, when the 39th president met reporters for a Monitor-sponsored breakfast. Among his charges: Members of the Bush team "decided to go to war against Iraq long before George Bush was elected."
Now that the United States is on the ground in Iraq, Mr. Carter said it would be "a very serious mistake preemptively to withdraw." But the Bush administration's decision to invade to prevent any future act of aggression from Saddam Hussein's Iraq came in for a scathing reproach. "The attitude of going to war against a relatively defenseless country in order to prevent violence in the world is a complete fallacy," Carter said.
The likelihood that the US could leave Iraq "safely and with honor" would improve if the Bush administration were "to vow that we will actually withdraw from Iraq militarily," he said. "I don't think there is any inclination or desire in the leadership in this administration to withdraw militarily from Iraq at any time in the future."
Carter, who during his presidency in the late 1970s was deeply and personally involved in peace talks in the Middle East, said the US should "acknowledge that other countries ... have a right to have equal access to the ... economic benefits of associating with Iraq, primarily oil."
A devout Baptist and life-long Sunday school teacher, the former president also raised concerns about what he sees as an inappropriate intertwining of religion and government. He warned of "an increase in basic fundamentalism ... both within the religious community of our country and also within government, and an unprecedented and overt, not disguised, merger of the church and the state, of religion and politics."

Fired court deputy alleges Lake County judge serving improperly
BY Teresa Auch Schultz email@example.com February 20, 2013 8:10PM
Updated: March 22, 2013 10:40AM
Lake Station Mayor Keith Soderquist's stepdaughter is suing City Judge Christopher Anderson, claiming he can't legally serve as judge because he doesn't live in Lake Station.
Miranda Brakley's attorney, Scott King, says in a release that evidence shows Anderson, who first took office in 2008, moved to Hobart before he was re-elected to office in November 2011 and when his new term started in January 2012.
"Thus, when he dismissed our client from her job, he was not nor is he now the judge of the Lake Station court," King says in the release.
Brakley worked as a deputy for the Lake Station court until June, when Anderson fired her. A report by the State Board of Accounts has since found that Brakley never deposited about $16,000 worth of bond money; she later turned it over in December, claiming it had been sitting in her car without her knowing it.
The State Board of Accounts also found that she improperly received about $13,000 when she was fired in vacation and other leave that she had not earned or was not owed. Along with demanding she pay the money back, the State Board of Accounts also claims she should pay more than $24,000 to the state to cover the cost of its investigation.
King disputed the report when it came out earlier this year.
Brakley's lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Lake Circuit Court, claims that Anderson illegally fired her because he doesn't live in Lake Station. It claims that by state law, Anderson must live in Lake Station to serve as its judge.
She also says in her suit that Anderson punished her because he supported Soderquist's rival, Brian Cretton, in the most recent election for mayor.
She is asking that a judge rule that Anderson is no longer the Lake Station judge, to reinstate her to her position with the city and to award her damages.

I took down my feeders since we had the freezing temps and now we just put up our Christmas lights- the feeder was just under the eaves.
Our lights are the cascading icicles. I just looked out my window and the hummingbird was trying to feed off of each tiny little light bulb!!? I guess they look like little buds? albeit a weird, white vine? Hope they don't hurt themselves!! What do hummingbirds do for food during the winter??? I didn't know how long I could keep my feeders up...
Follow-Up Postings:
Some hummingbirds don't migrate so if their food source goes away they die. Clamp lights shining on feeders when the temps get below freezing will keep your hummers happy this Winter. |
- Posted by flowerpowereverett z8wa (My Page) on Mon, Dec 6, 10 at 18:54
What kind of a feeder are you using? You can also wrap a string of Christmas lights around the base of your feeder or if you have the saucer type, you can set the saucer on top of a strand of lights. Please consider offering a solution of 1/4c sugar to 3/4c water during the winter. This mixture will start freezing solid if the temps drop below 15. Anna's Hummingbirds eat insects as well as nectar during the winter. My Mahonia media x Charity just finished blooming, I have Hellebores in bloom now and soon my Mahonia Bealea and Pink Dawn Vibunum will be blooming. |

Overwintering Anna's have lots of food sources in the PNW in winter. My mahonias haven't started blooming yet but in my old garden they were busy at heaths, hellebores, the remaining flowers of any hardy fuchsias (often in bloom until around Christmas, but not this year!), Schizostylis, Clematis cirrhosa, Viburnum tinus (which always tended to have at least some blooms in midwinter), sarcococca, Darwin barberry and Grevillea and eventually shrubs like witch hazels and winter hazels. And as flowerpower notes, they consume as many insects - if not more - than they seek out nectar sources. I tend to have my feeders up mostly in fall and winter as spring and summer offer so many natural nectar sources. In cold weather - like we had right before Thanksgiving - I just bring the feeders in at night and hang them back up during the day. They were often waiting nearby and buzzed me as I was rehanging, they were that eager for breakfast! Haven't tried the Christmas light thing yet :-) |

I have the "traditional" feeder, a glass jar with a screw-on plastic base with 4 ports. During our recent Arctic blast I wrapped a 15-bulb string of mini Christmas lights around the plastic base & lower part of the jar. I made sure a few wraps placed bulbs beneath the feeder base. The "nectar" stopped freezing. As a bonus, my alpha male Anna's discovered he could straddle a bulb and have himself a warming station! |
Did anyone notice this slideshow on Ch 5? I'd rather think about them someplace south in the sunshine but they seem to be managing. I did notice though with the three I'm seeing here - on that coldest Tuesday before Thanksgiving, after they would feed, instead of flying up to their more usual perches in the top of a philadelphus and viburnum, they were flying down - and staying low in a rhododendron and close to it in caryopteris. |

We have been feeding hummingbirds through the winter for several years. The regulars are 2 Rubythroat males and 1-2 females - not sure which species - many look the same. Like flowerpowereverett, I increase the sugar content but I still bring feeders in at night. Yes, they come buzzing up like "Do you know what TIME it is? We are out here freezing and you can't be bothered to get up any SOONER??" |
