"That's like my song, you know, 'cause I'm what they call an 'international pimp.' I take my bitches and my business all over the damn place. Hollywood, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Kansas City, Oak City [Oklahoma] -- wherever the fuckin' money is, I'm there. But I'll tell you a little somethin' about this city here. As a professor of pimpology, allow me to drop some knowledge, straight from the prophet's mouth. Right now, in all of these United States, there is no finer city for pimpin' than Denver, Colorado. And there is no richer track [an urban street where prostitution thrives] than right here, baby, Cold Facts Avenue."
This glittering nugget of wisdom is a lot more than merely one pimp's opinion.
Police say Denver has become the summer destination of choice for traveling pimps and their stables of relatively high-priced hookers, or "circuit girls," who represent a new, different breed from the badly used local crack whores who operate independently of pimps and who used to typify prostitution on Colfax. Circuit girls are younger, flashier-dressed, better organized and less likely to be drug addicts. They're drawn here by two spreading reputations: that of Colfax as a sex-for-sale marketplace in which demand far outstrips supply, and that of Denver as a city with one of the most laissez-faire prostitution laws in the country.
While other cities and states in recent years have hardened their laws against the world's oldest profession, in Denver prostitution has remained a petty offense, akin to jaywalking, punishable at most by a fine of less than $1,000 and a short stay in jail. This is true no matter how many convictions a prostitute racks up. And due to severe crowding in the Denver City Jail that leaves little room for nonviolent ladies of the evening, women arrested for prostitution in Denver rarely spend more than a few hours in a cell -- the time it takes their pimp to pay their bail.
"The word is definitely out on Denver," says Denver Police Department lieutenant Mark Leone, who works with ESCORT (Eliminate Street Crime on Residential Thoroughfares), a special patrol unit formed last August in response to the continuing increase of prostitution on Colfax. "There is a networking that goes on in the pimp profession just like in any other profession, and these pimps all talk to each other. They see where the money's good, where the cops aren't kicking butt and taking names, and where the laws are the most lax.
"These people are criminals," he adds. "They prefer the path of least resistance. And the path of least resistance is leading them to Denver."
Especially in the summer. "Jack Frost is the best cop in town when it comes to street prostitution," Leone says (except for January, during the National Western Stock Show, when "we see a big spike in out-of-towners," the cop adds. "All the cowboys are here with more money than sense, and Mom's back on the ranch.) But every year as the weather warms, young women dressed like fishing lures begin to pop up on Colfax around the same time that buds appear on the trees lining the residential streets nearby. By the time the trees are in bloom, the hookers have arrived in full force, forming nightly bouquets of leather and lace on choice corners.
It's been this way for years, but last summer, they came in never-before-seen numbers. Not coincidentally, last summer was when the State of Texas created a new law making a third conviction for prostitution an automatic felony commanding mandatory prison time. Texas pimps and prostitutes flocked to the nearest major city they deemed most hospitable: Denver.
"Most places, you know, one of your bitches busted every now and then is just a natural part of the game," says Kid Rock. "I just go down, pay the bitch's bail, go take her to get a new dress or get her nails done the next day -- you know, give her a little somethin' to make her feel better -- then put her ass right back on the track that night. That's just a cost of my doing business. I'm protecting my investments."
And his investments aren't paying off if they're sitting behind bars. "I know a good track or two in Dallas, Houston, but I'd rather make my money on Cold Facts. I don't even need to be fucking around with Texas anymore. They're changing the rules on a nigga down there."
Now the City of Denver is changing the rules as well.
Hundreds of residents of the South City Park Neighborhood, who found themselves under a perverse siege last summer, with hookers giving blow jobs on their front porches in the middle of the night, have exerted fierce pressure upon city and state officials to do something to combat prostitution on Colfax.
Though their attempts to spur state legislators to introduce a "three strikes" law similar to the one passed in Texas last year haven't been successful, their grievances have inspired action on the local level. City of Denver officials are moving quickly toward enacting a new, constitutionally questionable "area restriction" ordinance, which would ban anyone convicted of prostitution in Denver from setting foot on East Colfax. The new law has cleared a legal review by the Denver City Attorney's Office and is likely to take effect this summer.

It was a get together for Uma Tuli, organized by her cousin CK Khanna after she was awarded the Padma Shri award recently. Khanna recited a poem to wish Tuli a beautiful future.
Tuli told us, "The award is not just for me, it is for all those people who are associated with Amar Jyoti Charitable trust. Khanna is my maama ka ladka, so we have grown up together and when he heard the news for the first time, he had immediately said that he would throw a party."
Tuli has been working for specially abled kids for the past three decades. "Initially it was very difficult for me to believe that I got the award. I think it is a great honour, and all my friends had just this one thing to say 'much deserved, long overdue'", she said.

Dennis Crowley Is Pretty Sure You Haters Don't Even Use Foursquare
This week is the New York edition of TechCrunch Disrupt, which means it's time for the annual friendly grilling of Silicon Alley personalities. Taking his turn in the hot seat this morning: Fuelband-brandishing Foursquare CEO Dennis Crowley.
This year's conference takes place in the least startup-y of neighborhoods: right next door to Penn Station, in the Hammerstein Ballroom. It's covered in faux rococo detailing, and the carpet has seen better days, possibly during the Ford administration, and don't even try sitting down on the stairs to make a phone call because you will be bounced.
So it was in incongruous surroundings that @dens tackled a no-fun question: Where did all the adulation go? Read More

Tournaments :: news
Walmart Bass Fishing League - Ozark
Lake of the Ozarks (May 1, 2004)
Foree wins Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League event on Lake of the Ozarks
OSAGE BEACH, Mo. — Boater Mike Foree of Beaufort earned $4,734 Saturday as winner of the Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Ozark Division event on Lake of the Ozarks. The tournament was the second of five regular-season Ozark Division events and featured 185 boaters vying for the win, which earned Foree 200 points in the Boater Division.
Foree's winning catch of five bass weighed 17 pounds, 4 ounces, and he caught them on a spinnerbait. He earned $1,000 from Ranger Boats as the highest-finishing participant in the Ranger Cup incentive program, and he also earned another $1,000 from Garmin for using only Garmin electronics during the event.
Finishing second was Dan Schardischau of Lake Ozark with five bass weighing 15 pounds, 15 ounces that earned him $2,367. R.C. (Bob) Gordy of Galena claimed $1,610 as the third-place finisher thanks to five bass weighing 15 pounds, 9 ounces. In fourth was Jackie Davis of Willard with five bass weighing 15 pounds, 4 ounces worth $1,231, and finishing fifth and earning $1,041 was Jason Weast of Macks Creek with five bass weighing 15 pounds, 1 ounce.
Marty Bohlke Jr. of Grayslake, Ill., took Boater Division big-bass award honors, earning $925 for a 6-pound bass. He caught his big bass on a worm.
James Marion of Tulsa, Okla., bested 184 Co-angler Division competitors to earn $2,354 as the co-angler winner, thanks to five bass weighing 14 pounds, 5 ounces that he caught on a Baby Brush Hog.
Rounding out the top five co-anglers are Joe Waggoner of Carthage (five bass, 13 pounds, 10 ounces, $1,177); Myles Nutter of Thedford, Neb. (five bass, 12 pounds, 4 ounces, $800); John Taylor of Springdale, Ark. (five bass, 11 pounds, 11 ounces, $612); and Chris Epstein of Owensville (four bass, 11 pounds, 8 ounces, $518).
Steve Bradfield of Claremore, Okla., earned $460 as the co-angler big-bass award winner with a 5-pound, 11-ounce bass he caught on a chartreuse spinnerbait.
The Ozark Division's next event will be held June 12 on Table Rock Lake near Kimberling City, followed by an event on Truman Lake in Clinton July 10. The Ozark Division will wrap up its regular season Sept. 11-12 with a two-day Super Tournament on Table Rock Lake near Kimberling City.
Following the regular season, the Ozark Division boater with the most points will earn $1,000 as the Yamaha "Be the Best" points leader. The co-angler amassing the most points will earn $500 as the Yamaha "Be the Best" points leader in the Co-angler Division.
Every angler who receives weight credit in a tournament earns points, with 200 points going to the winner, 199 for second, 198 for third, and so on except for Super Tournaments, which award 300 points to the winner, 299 for second, 298 for third, and so on. The top 30 Ozark Division boaters and co-anglers based on year-end points standings will advance to the Toledo Bend regional near Many, La., Oct. 12-16, where they will compete against Arkie, Louisiana and Okie division anglers for one of six slots in the 2005 All-American. With a $100,000 cash prize going to the winning boater and $50,000 going to the winning co-angler, the All-American is one of the most prestigious and lucrative events in bass fishing.
The $6.3 million Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League features 24 divisions nationwide. In BFL competition, boaters and co-anglers are randomly paired, with boaters supplying the boat and fishing against other boaters and co-anglers fishing from the back deck against other co-anglers. For more information or to enter a tournament, call (270) 252-1000 or browse this Web site.

Rod Dupen on his "killer waffle" and the soon-to-open Waffle Brothers in Uptown
"John had just spent a few weeks in Belgium, and every day, he'd go buy a waffle or two from the waffle cart, and when he got back to Denver, he asked if I'd be interested in going into the waffle business," recalls Dupen. For more than a year, the two researched waffles and recipes, ultimately creating "a killer waffle that friends and neighbors loved." They started peddling them at charity events and festivals, farmers' markets and concession stands, and it wasn't long before the two wafflers began to enjoy the sweet smell of success. "Everywhere we went, we had lines and a constant stream of people, and we realized that we were on to something," says Dupen, who launched a cart on the 16th Street Mall in 2008.
A brick-and-mortar Waffle Brothers opened in the Alamo Placita neighborhood in 2010, followed by a Boulder store in 2012. In mid-May, a third Waffle Brothers will open in Uptown -- and this one will serve beer and wine and boast a beer garden. "We're really excited about opening another Waffle Brothers in such a great neighborhood, and the patio is going to make one helluva cool beer garden," promises Dupen, who in the following interview attacks Brussels sprouts (with a vengeance), recalls the night when his restaurant was smashed by a drunk driver, and explains how Groupon made him humble.
How do you describe your food? We're built around breakfast and lunch and incorporate an array of sweet and savory food items, from delicious, healthy sandwiches and salads to variations of wholesome waffles with sweet toppings, fruity toppings, sausage, bacon and egg toppings. And the combinations are endless from there.
Ten words to describe you: Australian, driven, eternally optimistic, friendly, outgoing, social, athletic, ambitious and lucky.
What are your ingredient obsessions? I love anything with flavor -- just give me a lot of spice like jalapeños or cayenne pepper. I also enjoy basil, olives and olive oil, and...oh, yeah, lots of fresh fruits. My favorites are strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, blackberries, pineapples and mangos.
What are your kitchen-gadget obsessions? Anything you can buy from a 1-800 number. If it's available in two-for-one and it's under $25, I'm probably going to buy it.
Favorite local ingredient and where you get it: Belfiore's breakfast sausage. It's lean, spicy, and you can eat it all day and never have an upset stomach.
One ingredient that you won't touch: I'd normally say Spam, but we just created the Hawaiian waffle, which incorporates Spam and pineapple. It's shockingly -- and surprisingly -- good. In light of that, I guess I'd have to say lard. It's just gross.
Food trend you'd like to see in 2013: More Waffle Brothers restaurants. I'd also like to see real gluten-free and vegan-produced products.
Food trend you'd like to see disappear in 2013: Dollar menus. If you buy something for a buck, it's going to taste like it costs a buck, and while most of us are trying to advocate healthy eating, the fast-food, suck-them-in dollar menus just keep multiplying.

Study Tips To Make Freshman Year A Breeze
Are you a returning learner? Have you been out of school for quite a while? Are you in need of help? This article has some tips for you no matter what your background is. Going back is possible. Your dreams can be fulfilled. For more advice on achieving the perfect college experience, continue reading. You are worthy of it.
It's okay to take a break. You can become burned out if you study too much. Your parents probably do not think that you can study too much, but it can happen. Studying too much can actually hurt your performance on assignments and tests.
If you wish to get the most out of studying, it's important to do it in the right environment. Your dorm room is rarely a great place to study. Seek out an area that has minimal distractions. Going to the library is probably the best option. If you have no other options, invest in a pair of noise-cancelling headphones.
The most important thing is to find the school that just feels right. Once you make a decision, decide how you will pay for it. Don't let cost stop you from going to a good school. Between scholarships, financial aid, and loans, there is always a way to make it happen.
Do you really want to attend college immediately after high school? Some students may not be ready right away and may want to work for a year or two before going to college. It's okay, even if your parents don't agree. Take some time to reflect to decide if college is right for you.
The layout of college campuses is ideal for simple transportation like walking or cycling. Reconsider bringing along a car at all. Campus parking can be limited, and students do not usually have the money to keep up with the expenses of driving a car. Having to care for the car takes a lot of time also. If you want to get the most out of school without the worry of a vehicle, learn about public transportation.
If you are in high school, you should think about going to college, but do not let your education stress you out. Focus on your grades and test scores. Do volunteer work. Check out the schools that interest you. You do not have to worry about what you need to get in until you are a junior in high school.
Give your work-study job all you can, even if it seems pointless. Employers view education, but highly regard your experience. With a work study program, you can earn extra money while helping to prepare you for your first job.
If you'll be living in a college dorm, pack only the essentials. Dorm rooms tend to be very small and can fill with clutter very quickly. Create a list that targets your basic needs for the room and do not diverge from it. There are many space-saving storage choices to pick from.
Having kids to take care of doesn't make study abroad impossible. Even though you have children, you can still study abroad. It's worth checking in with the coordinator of study abroad programs at your college. While some of these programs may not be tailored for the parenting student, some are actually available that will accommodate the student and child together.
Many students live on campus with other roommates to save money on housing. Your housing can have an effect on how well you do in school. Although dorm life can be exciting, if you are comfortable with living at home, do it.
Have you learned anything here? You already possess the drive and intelligence to move forward in your journey. You need to realize this. Anyone can go through college and come out a better person. Do not let others distract you. Take the chance when you get one. Begin working on a degree today. Use the advice here to help you fulfill all of your lifelong goals.

Graduation is Over — Time to Really Start Dreaming
When people used to ask what you wanted to be when you grew up, we bet you had some big answers and even bigger dreams. Trouble is, most people get "realistic" somewhere along the way.
Not us. We didn't become a Fortune 300 innovation leader by being "realistic." Is it "realistic" to want to send a text message without picking up your phone? Or turn on the porch lights from the restaurant? Or transform your GPS into a DJ?
Go ahead. Dream. Get all googly-eyed about what you're going to do with your career. Be a big talker, thinker and doer.
Because around here, you're expected to be "futuristic" and "idealistic." But "realistic?" Not so much.

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 Sneakers!
Facts about Sneakers
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Senior
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Sneakers's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
"SNEAKERS" and her pal "BOOTS" need a new home or homes as their owner has passed. They are 12 years old. Sneakers is very personable and would love a home with a retiree who has time to spend with her. Please come to meet these sweet girls.
Other Pets at Cape-Atlantic Citizens Altering The Strays
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sneakers, a Ocean City Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Ocean City, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Ocean City.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Ocean City 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 Ocean City 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Ocean City paves the way for another one to be saved.

I am about to begin the process of building a new home in South Texas in the next couple of months. I have decided I would like to also have a pool in the new home. I have a few questions. 1. Is this something I should bring up to my home builder? Is it advisable to start the constructions of a new pool while the home is being build? or should we wait. 2. What type of pool (motor, material, etc) should we get so cost is low maintenance? I would prefer to pay more upfront for something that is easy to maintain and is energy efficient. 3. What is expected cost in increase of monthly utility bills? Energy & water. I have been reading mixed information on the internet. I have read to expect electricity bills to go up by $10 - $300/month. That is a wide variation! I REALLY want a pool and don't mind the maintenance involved; however, an energy bill of $500/month (it is an energy star home and we are unsure about electricity cost, but figuring on average $200/month) is something I will have to think twice about! Thanks for any info you can provide! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by womanowned (My Page) on Wed, Sep 1, 10 at 13:00
Unless you are using a custom builder to build your home, it is doubtful the builder will allow you to install a pool until after you have closed. If you have the option of starting before closing, then starting during construction would allow the pool to be finished virtually at the same time as the home. Typically the pool builder will get to the point of Gunite (creating the hard shell) and then wait until all exterior work is completed on the home. That way nothing is damaged on the pool from construction debris falling on or in the pool. If access is limited or a concern, it is great to be able to get the started on the pool before you close. It is easier to get construction equipment in. Look at the new energy efficient pumps. I use the Pentair VS-3050, 3 HP, 4 speed pump to operate most everything on a pool. It saves a lot on electricity. Other equipment manufacturers probably have a similar type by now. |

New numbers from Gallup show marriage equality continuing to gain ground:
Gallup used two separate approaches to measure public support for gay marriage this month, and they produced similar results: 52% would vote for a federal law legalizing same-sex marriages in all 50 states, and 54% think gay marriages should be recognized as valid, with the same rights as marriages between men and women. … [G]roups showing at least 60% support for legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide include Democrats, adults aged 18 to 34, those who rarely or never attend a church or other place of worship, moderates, Easterners, and Catholics.
The new poll doesn't change much on the generic question as to approval of marriage equality. But what's truly striking to me is how a majority would be happy to extend marriage equality to all fifty states. If that trend continues, I can easily imagine Anthony Kennedy writing a Loving vs Virginia decision in a few years' time. I've always been a federalist on this, and remain so. But the public may be out-stripping even me now on this question.
And, of course, this is yet another crisis for the GOP.
And again, Catholics are at the forefront of the push for equality 60 – 36, defying the theocons and far more in tune with the new Pope than the old one. The moderates? They favor equality by 63 – 32 percent. They are people who once may have voted Republican. This issue is one reason they've switched sides.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach their destructive heresies about God and even turn against their Master who bought them. Theirs will be a swift and terrible end. | 1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves. |
2 Many will follow their evil teaching and shameful immorality. And because of them, Christ and his true way will be slandered. | 2 Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. |
3 In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction is on the way. | 3 In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. |
4 For God did not spare even the angels when they sinned; he threw them into hell, in gloomy caves and darkness until the judgment day. | 4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; |
5 And God did not spare the ancient world -- except for Noah and his family of seven. Noah warned the world of God's righteous judgment. Then God destroyed the whole world of ungodly people with a vast flood. | 5 if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; |
6 Later, he turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into heaps of ashes and swept them off the face of the earth. He made them an example of what will happen to ungodly people. | 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; |
7 But at the same time, God rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a good man who was sick of all the immorality and wickedness around him. | 7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men |
8 Yes, he was a righteous man who was distressed by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day. | 8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)-- |
9 So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while punishing the wicked right up until the day of judgment. | 9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. |
10 He is especially hard on those who follow their own evil, lustful desires and who despise authority. These people are proud and arrogant, daring even to scoff at the glorious ones without so much as trembling. | 10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings; |
11 But the angels, even though they are far greater in power and strength than these false teachers, never speak out disrespectfully against the glorious ones. | 11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord. |
12 These false teachers are like unthinking animals, creatures of instinct, who are born to be caught and killed. They laugh at the terrifying powers they know so little about, and they will be destroyed along with them. | 12 But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish. |
13 Their destruction is their reward for the harm they have done. They love to indulge in evil pleasures in broad daylight. They are a disgrace and a stain among you. They revel in deceitfulness while they feast with you. | 13 They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you. |
14 They commit adultery with their eyes, and their lust is never satisfied. They make a game of luring unstable people into sin. They train themselves to be greedy; they are doomed and cursed. | 14 With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed--an accursed brood! |
15 They have wandered off the right road and followed the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved to earn money by doing wrong. | 15 They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness. |
16 But Balaam was stopped from his mad course when his donkey rebuked him with a human voice. | 16 But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey--a beast without speech--who spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness. |
17 These people are as useless as dried-up springs of water or as clouds blown away by the wind -- promising much and delivering nothing. They are doomed to blackest darkness. | 17 These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. |
18 They brag about themselves with empty, foolish boasting. With lustful desire as their bait, they lure back into sin those who have just escaped from such wicked living. | 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. |
19 They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves to sin and corruption. For you are a slave to whatever controls you. | 19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity--for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. |
20 And when people escape from the wicked ways of the world by learning about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then get tangled up with sin and become its slave again, they are worse off than before. | 20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. |
21 It would be better if they had never known the right way to live than to know it and then reject the holy commandments that were given to them. | 21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. |
22 They make these proverbs come true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and "A washed pig returns to the mud." | 22 Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud." |

Under present law, persons are charged with violating the state's "implied consent" law if they refuse to be tested, but they must give up the right to drive, unless they are being charged for the first time, in which an exception can be made for travel to and from work for a period of one year. This applies even if the suspect is found not guilty.
The implied consent legislation passed this year clarifies that the provision regarding not administering the blood alcohol content, or BAC, test if the person refuses to submit does not apply if testing is mandated by a court order or search warrant. The new law also applies to testing mandated if a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe that the driver of a motor vehicle involved in an accident resulting in the injury or death of another is driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security reported 2,241 drivers were convicted for rejecting the tests during the last one-year reporting period.
A new law was approved which authorizes judges to order the use of an ignition interlock device for any person granted a restricted driver license. The order may be with or without geographical restrictions, but if the device is ordered, then it must remain on the vehicle during the entire period of the restricted license. The Department of Safety reported a total of 22,119 DUI convictions during the last one-year reporting period.
State legislators approved House Bill 2750 which brings clarity to Tennessee's law regarding driving while under the influence of prescription drugs. The legislation ensures that state law does not provide an excuse or a defense for offenders who do not have physical control of their vehicles due to them being under the influence of an intoxicant drug prescribed lawfully.
A new law was passed that ensures a multiple DUI offender receives the appropriate punishment when he or she endangers a child in their vehicle by driving under the influence. Currently, multiple offenders do not receive an enhanced sentence like first offenders due to ambiguity in the language of a 2005 law which enhanced penalties for child endangerment for DUI offenders. House Bill 2751 makes sure state law is clear for multiple DUI offenders that the punishment for child endangerment, which is 30 days, runs consecutively with any other sentence received.
Parties and their counsel will now have financial incentive not to file frivolous claims under legislation passed by the General Assembly this year. When a trial court grants or denies a motion to dismiss for a claim deemed invalid under Tennessee law, reasonable and necessary attorney's fees up to $10,000 can be paid to the prevailing party under the new law. This "loser pays" legislation, which encourages parties not to file lawsuits until they have confirmed they have a claim that is valid, is an important protection for small businesses.

The Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), Appendix A, provides the following definition for PROFESSIONAL BOOKS, PAPERS, AND EQUIPMENT (PBP&E). Professional Books Paper and Equipment also commonly called PRO or PRO-Gear. PBP&E are articles of HHG/UB in a member's possession needed for the performance of his/her official duties at the next or a later destination. The items identified, as PBP&E are not counted against your full JFTR weight entitlement. You must provide AFPACS or your counselor an estimated weight of the professional items. The PBP&E must be declared during your initial counseling or prior to HHG/UB pick-up. Any PBP&E items that are not annotated on your inventories, will count against your authorized weight entitlement. This oversight could result in unnecessary excess costs.
Authorized Items -You may include reference material, instruments, tools, and equipment peculiar to technicians, mechanics, and members of the professions.
-Instruments, tools, and equipment peculiar to technicians, mechanics, and members of the professions.
-An official award given to a member by a Service (or a component thereof) for service performed by the member in the member's capacity or by a professional society or organization U.S. or foreign Government for significant contributions in connection with official duties. You can include plaques, awards, and trophies if they were presented to you in your official duty capacity.
-Personal computers may qualify as professional equipment if used in the performance of your official duty capacity. You are entitled to one of each of the following components: Printer, Monitor, CPU, and Scanner etc.
-Specialized clothing such as diving suits, astronauts' suits, flying suits and helmets, band uniforms, chaplains vestments, and other specialized apparel not normal or usual uniform or clothing.
-Communication equipment used by members in association with the MARS (see DODD 4650.2).
Unauthorized Items -DO NOT include typewriters, file cabinets, desks, or Service Dress uniforms and Battle Dress Uniforms. These items are not considered professional gear.
-Excluded from PBP&E are: sports equipment, household, or shop fixtures or furniture (such as bookcases, study desks, file cabinets, and racks) of any kind even though used in connection with the PBP&E.
-Most service members have some type of PBP&E in their possession. In order to claim PBP&E it's quite simple. During your counseling you will be asked if you have PPB&E. You must indicate in block 8 of the DD Form 1299 (Application for Shipment and Storage of Personal Property) a desire to claim or decline PBP&E. If you don't have PBP&E you will annotate NONE in Block 8 of the DD Form 1299 (Application for Shipment and/or Storage of Personal Property). If you are claiming PRO-Gear you will indicate the estimated weight in block 8 of the DD Form 1299. Remember this is only an estimate. If you claim one pound for PBP&E and ship more you have satisfied the requirements for claiming PRO-Gear. You may elect to ship the PBP&E in your household goods (HHG), unaccompanied baggage (UB), or Non-temporary Storage (NTS) or split the PBP&E between all three.
-Ensure your professional gear is separately marked, weighed, and inventoried. The carrier may use your bathroom scale or a constructive weight of 40 pounds per cubic foot.
-You must ensure the carrier properly identifies professional gear on your INVENTORY, such as Professional Papers (PP), Professional Equipment (PE), Professional Books, Paper and Equipment (PBP&E) or the weight will be counted against your full JFTR weight allowance.
-Prior to signing the carrier's inventory, please perform a thorough check for proper accountability, descriptions of items, damages, and the notation of PBP&E if claimed. After the fact declaration of professional books, papers and equipment is prohibited.
You may place PBP&E in your Non-temporary storage (NTS). NTS is property that is stored in the local vicinity of your former PDS for the duration of an overseas assignment.
If there are questions or further concerns regarding the shipment or storage of PBP&E immediately solicit your local ITO/TMO for clarification and guidance.

Over the past few weeks, there have been numerous celebrity girl-on-girl kisses that were very, very public and got a lot of attention. Miley Cyrus got up close and personal with three different women during three different performances in June alone. And during the MTV Movie Awards, Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson awkwardly locked lips.
Straight female celebs kissing other straight female celebs is nothing new. Ever since that Britney Spears and Madonna smooch few years ago (oh yeah, Christina Aguilera was there too), faux onstage lesbianism has increased tremendously. No matter who is doing it or where it is, I find that my reaction is always the same—simple bewilderment. Keep reading »

Size matters when it comes to dishing out snacks.
Next time you play hostess, do your guests a favor by practicing portion control and using smaller serving bowls. During a Super Bowl party, people dished out 42 percent more snack mix from 4-quart bowls than they did from 2-quart bowls, reports a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign study. The bigger portions added up to an extra 112 calories per person.
In a subsequent study, the scientists found that serving-size misperceptions held true for both low-calorie (veggies) and high-calorie (snack mix) foods. By practicing portion control and putting fruits and veggies in large bowls, you may get your family to eat healthier.

How to Pray
Prayer is the method God planned to allow us to communicate with Him while we are living on Earth. While there is a pattern to prayer, there are no firm rules and prayer can often be an informal conversation held throughout the day. However, when we are praying publicly or in a more planned but private prayer, there are guidelines we should follow. These ensure our prayers are respectful and contain all that needs to be included. Mormons—a nickname for members of The Church of Jesus—teach that prayer should begin with a respectful greeting to God. Most begin by saying, "Dear Heavenly Father" or "Our beloved Father in Heaven" or something similar. They do not pray directly to Jesus because Jesus instructed them to pray to God through Jesus Christ. "And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may...

Hi Gang,
I just wanted to share what I accomplished in my edible landscaping - well it's really more formal than landscape. I turned my front yard into a formal edible garden. I kind of wanted to prove that you can have an edible formal garden that's just as beautiful (and more useful) as an ornamental garden. I put up a blog showing the progress of the transformation, you can find it here... Here's a before picture: Here's a few after pictures: More pictures and stories on the blog. -Bryan |
Follow-Up Postings:
It looks very nice and suits the house well. I originally thought about having a formal design for my garden, but in the end the space was too asymmetric to suit it, so I went for a curve-based design instead. I love before and after pictures. I've got a few of my garden, which had to be completely redone after I had a digger in replacing a retaining wall. There link here is to the "before" shots (they are thumbnails, click to get a larger view). If you click the blog title it will take you to the most recent posts which show the "after". Of course it is only early spring here so it looks a bit bare, but hopefully in a few months it will be nice and lush. |

Beautiful and practical!! Well done. |

Very inspiring! For a very small space like that you can harvest different kinds of crops. You're an excellent gardener. |
- Posted by spaghetina SF Bay Area (My Page) on Mon, Sep 14, 09 at 2:53
I went to your blog and smiled the whole way through. Your garden is lovely. I love your attention to detail, all the way down to the angle of the pickets, and the beautiful red fence post caps. Your garden makes me wish I'd gone with a different design for mine (or some design. Period. Lol), but since mine was thought up on a whim, it'll have to do. Next time though, I'll be turning to your blog for ideas! |
- Posted by rosiew 7 GA (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Oct 5, 09 at 5:16
Such an inspiration. Feel blessed to have found your posting. Do you have deer or other critters that feed in your garden? If so, what deterents have you employed? Rosie, Sugar Hill, GA |
- Posted by homertherat (My Page) on Wed, Oct 28, 09 at 13:14
That's crazy! Instead of a lawn to mow, you have fruits and vegetables to eat! Nice work! |
- Posted by deep_south_gardener z9b (My Page) on Sat, Dec 5, 09 at 13:39
I too am happy I happened onto your post. Lovely garden. Gives me lots of ideas and inspiration. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your progress. |
