[9] Defendant-appellant Joyce Elaine Polasek appeals her conviction and sentence
for conspiracy, making false statements relating to mileage registered on
odometers, mail fraud, and utterance and possession of counterfeited and forged
securities. We reverse.
[11] Joyce Elaine Polasek operated a service in Houston, Texas that transferred
motor vehicle title and registration documents from automobile dealers to car
purchasers. An indictment filed on December 16, 1996 in the Southern District of
Texas charged her with altering the mileage on titles and related documents for
vehicles sold at Montgomery Motors Express, a Houston used car dealership.
Specifically, Count One of the indictment accused Polasek of conspiracy to
violate the laws of the United States, Counts Two through Twelve of false
odometer certification, Counts Thirteen through Nineteen of mail fraud, and
Counts Twenty through Twenty-four of making, uttering, and possessing forged
securities. Polasek pleaded not guilty to all twenty-four counts.
[12] At trial, a number of individuals formerly associated with Montgomery
Motors Express testified that they had seen Polasek altering titles or heard her
bragging that she had done so. John Richard Hubert, who had owned the dealership
during Polasek's tenure there, stated that he rolled back odometers on the cars
he sold and that he hired Polasek, an independent contractor, to alter the
paperwork associated with such vehicles. *fn1 He also claimed that he witnessed
Polasek scraping off mileage numbers on titles. Similarly, Scott Vaughan, a car
buyer for Montgomery Motors, told the jury that he saw Polasek altering a title
reflecting mileage in excess of 100,000 miles by changing the first digit to the
letter "A." Vaughan recounted that Polasek even asked him how the alteration
looked. He described Polasek's title work as "sloppy" and "ridiculous,"
observing that some of the titles appeared as though they had been altered five
or ten times. Gregory Hall, a title clerk for Montgomery Motors in the late
1980s and early 1990s, testified that he saw Polasek alter a title by scratching
it with a pick. Once, while delivering a title to the courthouse as a favor to
Polasek, he noticed that the old odometer numbers had been "carved" out of the
paper; when the courthouse clerk subsequently rejected the title, Polasek became
angry and insisted on seeing the clerk's supervisor. William David Bolton, a
closer for the dealership, testified that Polasek had told him that she had
found a better way to alter titles using stencils and typewriter correction tape
and described how she demonstrated her new technique. According to Bolton,
Polasek kept a number of title-altering instruments, including colored pens and
pencils, erasers, and a tool resembling a dental pick, in a special pouch. He
also claimed to have once seen her scratching at the odometer reading on a title
with the pick. Finally, Lisa Walling testified that she worked for Polasek at
Montgomery Motors for a short while and that some of Polasek's titles looked as
though numbers in the odometer box had been changed or erased. Walling also told
the jury that she had seen Polasek alter a title by erasing something from the
odometer box and that, on other occasions, she had observed Polasek using a
light to trace a signature from one document to another. Walling testified
further that Polasek had numerous titles sent to Walling's address rather than
directly to the car buyers.
[13] In addition to this eyewitness testimony, the government offered evidence
of bad acts outside the scope of the indictment. National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration Special Agent Robert Eppes testified that early in 1990, in the
course of a Nebraska odometer fraud investigation that turned up documents
bearing her signature, he warned Polasek against submitting titles with false
odometer statements and obtaining duplicate vehicle titles, which are often used
for the purpose of odometer fraud. In addition, the prosecution showed that
Polasek had been convicted in the United States District Court for the District
of Nebraska for conspiracy to transport in interstate commerce false motor
vehicle titles. It also introduced a portion of her petition to enter a guilty
plea in that case, including her statement that "I helped Janzen and Brown get
certified copies of automobile titles so they could turn the cars back on the
odometers." After the admission of this evidence, the district court instructed
the jury that it could consider the evidence of acts outside the scope of the
indictment only for limited purposes.
[14] Polasek took the stand in her own defense. She admitted to the Nebraska
conviction and acknowledged that her signature appeared on various government
exhibits but insisted that she neither altered titles at Montgomery Motors nor
knew of any odometer tampering during most of the time that she worked there.
Her testimony contradicted that of several government witnesses, each of whom
she accused of lying for various reasons. She blamed a "little short fat" man
for the altered titles, claiming that she left Montgomery Motors upon
discovering the alterations but returned after receiving false assurances that
odometers no longer were being altered. No other witness was asked about or
testified to the existence of the short, fat man.
[15] On cross-examination, Polasek admitted that she understood the logistics of
odometer tampering and knew that titles had to be altered in such schemes. She
acknowledged telling the Federal Bureau of Investigation that she was aware of
another dealership that rolled back odometers but nevertheless did their title
work. She also admitted falsely listing Walling's address on titles. She denied,
however, that she had admitted to law enforcement personnel that she had
participated in odometer tampering for various other dealers; when asked whether
she was aware that other dealers for whom she had worked had been convicted for
odometer fraud, she replied that she was not. Specifically, she acknowledged
that she had done work for Kenny Smith, but denied knowledge of his conviction
for odometer tampering; acknowledged that she had done work for Dwayne Hutchins,
but denied knowledge of his odometer tampering conviction; acknowledged that she
had worked for William Witlow, but denied knowledge of whether he had altered
odometers; denied both doing any work for Travis Barnes and knowledge of any
convictions related to him; acknowledged doing title work for Danny Coker, but
denied knowledge that he had been convicted for odometer tampering; and
acknowledged that she had worked in Mississippi for a company named S & S Auto,
but denied knowledge of any convictions for odometer tampering related to that
[16] In rebuttal, the government recalled Special Agent Eppes. Eppes testified
that he had been investigating Lebanon, Missouri car dealers, that Polasek had
obtained some of the titles processed by these dealers, and that this led him to
speak with Polasek. According to Eppes, Polasek admitted that her signature
appeared on one document, but when he told her it had been fraudulently
obtained, she retorted, "You can't prove that." Eppes testified again, as he had
on direct examination, that he warned Polasek to stop handling altered documents
and getting duplicate titles for dealers involved in odometer fraud, but that he
succeeded only in angering her. The prosecutor then asked Eppes specific
questions about each of the car dealers with whom Polasek had been associated:
[17] "Q Now, you heard Mr. Stearn ask the Defendant about a number of people
that the Defendant did business with?"
[18] "A Yes."
[19] "Q Are you familiar with a man by the name of Coker?"
[20] "A Yes."
[21] "Q Who is Mr. Coker?"
[22] "A Dan Gallant Coker (phonetic spelling)."
[23] "Q Did you, during the course of your investigation, find paperwork handled
by the Defendant?"
[24] "A Yes."
[25] "MR. ROGERS: Your Honor, this is an extraneous matter, and it's irrelevant
to this case."
[26] "THE COURT: Overruled."
[27] "MR. ROGERS: Please note our exception."
[28] "THE WITNESS: Yes, I did."
[30] "Q What happened to Mr. Coker?"
[31] "A Mr. Coker was convicted."
[32] "Q You mentioned a Mr. Witlow?"
[33] "A Yes, I'm familiar with Mr. William Witlow."
[34] "Q Did you do an investigation of Mr. Witlow?"
[35] "A Yes, I did."
[36] "Q And during the course of that investigation, did you find paper handled
by the Defendant?"
[37] "A During the course of that investigation, I did."
[38] "Q What happened with Mr. Witlow?"
[39] "A Mr. Witlow was convicted."
[40] "Q And again, what was he convicted for?"
[41] "A Odometer fraud."
[42] "Q Would that be the same for Mr. Coker?"
[43] "A Yes."
[44] "Q What about a man by the name of Travis Barnes, did you investigate him?"
[45] "A Yes, I did."
[46] "Q And during the course of your investigation, did you find paperwork?
When I say, "paperwork," I'm talking about odometers that had been tampered with
in that investigation."
[47] "A Yes, we did."
[48] "Q And did you--who handled some of the paper in that investigation?"
[49] "A Ms. Polasek."
[50] "Q What happened to Travis Barnes? Was he prosecuted?"
[51] "A Yes, he was."
[52] "Q And what was he convicted for?"
[53] "A Odometer fraud."
[54] "Q Who is Dennison Barnes?"
[55] "A Dennison Barnes is the son of Travis Barnes."
[56] "Q Was he also investigated?"
[57] "A Yes, he was."
[58] "Q Was he also convicted?"
[59] "A Yes, he was."
[60] "Q For what?"
[61] "A Odometer fraud."
[62] "Q Again, did you see paperwork by the Defendant in that prosecution?"
[63] "A I would like to reiterate on all of those that you mentioned that there
were interviews done with them in which they told me that and documents were
seen handled by Ms. Polasek."
[64] "MR. ROGERS: Judge, I object. That is hearsay."
[65] "THE COURT: Sustained."
[67] "Q The question is did you see documents that were handled by the
[68] "A Not by Mr. Dennison Barnes, no."
[69] "Q Are there any other persons whom you have investigated that have been
convicted for odometer tampering where you saw paperwork, odometer paperwork,
titles, that were handled by the Defendant?"
[70] "A Yes."
[71] "Q Can you please tell the jury those folks."
[72] "MR. ROGERS: Your Honor, that's irrelevant. We would object to all that as
just extraneous offense matters."
[73] "THE COURT: Overruled."
[74] "MR. ROGERS: It doesn't prove that she had anything to do with altering
anything or had knowledge of it."
[75] "THE COURT: Overruled."
[76] "MR. ROGERS: Note our exception."
[77] "THE WITNESS: Yes, I have."
[79] "Q Can you tell the jury who those people were or what dealerships they
owned or were involved with?"
[80] "A Mr. Ken Smith operating as KNS Auto Sales, Auto Mart, and Quality Auto
Sales, Lebanon, Missouri."
[81] "Q Who else?"
[82] "A Mr. Larry Scott Bennett. His conviction was not--it was related to our
odometer case but his charge was not odometer fraud."
[83] "Q What was he convicted for?"
[84] "A I don't know the exact statute. It was a Texas state statute for
shooting into a building with the intent to harm someone."
[85] "MR. ROGERS: Your Honor, this is all totally irrelevant."
[86] "THE COURT: Sustained. The jury is instructed to disregard the last
[87] "Q The question is--"
[88] "MR. ROGERS: Your Honor, in light of the harmful nature of all this, I
would move for a mistrial."
[89] "THE COURT: Your motion is denied."
[90] "MR. ROGERS: Please note our exception."
[92] "Q The question, Mr. Eppes, is the investigations related only to the work
you do, that is, odometer-related fraud, was that last case that you spoke of
related--that individual that you investigated related to odometer tampering?"
[93] "A That investigation and that person was related to the odometer fraud,
[94] "Q Is there anybody else that the Defendant did odometer work for that were
prosecuted and convicted?"
[95] "A Yes. Mr. Dwayne Hutchins."
[96] "Q Who is Mr. Dwayne Hutchins?"
[97] "A Doing business as H & H Auto Sales, Dallas, Texas."
[98] "Q And what was he investigated for?"
[99] "A Odometer fraud."
[100] "Q Was he convicted?"
[101] "A Yes."
[102] "Q Was that federal or state?"
[103] "A Federal."
[104] "Q And again, did you, during the course of that investigation, find
paperwork, title documents, that were tampered with and handled by the
[105] "A Yes."
[106] On cross-examination, Eppes admitted that, except for her Nebraska
conviction, Polasek had not been charged or convicted in connection with any of
the investigations about which he had testified.
[107] During the government's rebuttal closing argument, the prosecutor
emphasized the fact that many of Polasek's former business associates had been
convicted of odometer fraud:
[108] "Defense counsel would have you believe that it's irrelevant that the
Defendant associated with a number of people that have been convicted. I submit
to you that that is a lot to be said about intent and motive and knowledge. A
person who is working in the industry for that long, there is no coincidence
whatsoever, whatsoever, that these folks got convicted; and that would show that
she had some intent or knowledge."
[109] "She knew these folks for many years. How could she not know in the case
of Montgomery Motors where she said, "I didn't know anything was going on there.
When I found out, I was out of there"? That doesn't make any sense. She had been
in the industry how long? She did it for a number of years. For a number of
people to get convicted?"
[110] Polasek did not object to this line of argument.
[111] The jury convicted Polasek of conspiracy to violate the laws of the United
States, false odometer certification, mail fraud, and making, uttering, and
possessing forged securities, in violation of 18 U.S.C. � 371, 49 U.S.C. �
32703, 18 U.S.C. � 1341, and 18 U.S.C. � 531, respectively. The district court
sentenced Polasek to concurrent terms of imprisonment of 108 months on the
securities counts, sixty months on the conspiracy and mail fraud counts, and
thirty-six months on the false odometer certification counts. In addition, the
court imposed a three-year term of supervised release. Polasek appeals both her
conviction and her sentence.
[113] We review a district court's evidentiary rulings under an
abuse-of-discretion standard so long as the party challenging the ruling makes a
timely objection to the admission of the evidence. See United States v.
Westmoreland, 841 F.2d 572, 578 (5th Cir. 1988). Otherwise, we apply the plain
error standard. See United States v. Burton, 126 F.3d 666, 671 (5th Cir. 1997).
[114] We must therefore determine whether Polasek adequately objected to Eppes's
testimony about the convictions of her former business associates. Federal Rule
of Evidence 103(a)(1) prohibits predicating error on a ruling admitting evidence
unless "a timely objection or motion to strike appears of record, stating the
specific ground of objection, if the specific ground was not apparent from the
context." Fed. R. Evid. 103(a)(1). A loosely formulated and imprecise objection
will not preserve error. See United States v. Waldrip, 981 F.2d 799, 804 (5th
Cir. 1993). Rather, a trial court Judge must be fully apprised of the grounds of
an objection. See United States v. Jimenez Lopez, 873 F.2d 769, 773 (5th Cir.
[115] Polasek's objection that "[i]t doesn't prove that she had anything to do
with altering anything or had knowledge of it" put the court on notice that the
fact that Polasek had done title work for individuals later convicted of
odometer fraud was, essentially, a suggestion that she was guilty by
association. Polasek was contending that her relationship with individuals later
convicted of fraud did not, without more, show any bad acts or guilty knowledge
on her part. As a result, it could only constitute guilt by association
evidence, which is prohibited because "[t]hat one is married to, associated
with, or in the company of a criminal does not support the inference that that
person is a criminal or shares the criminal's guilty knowledge." United States
v. Forrest, 620 F.2d 446, 451 (5th Cir. 1980). Polasek's situation differs
markedly from those cases in which we have held that a generic objection does
not put the court on notice that the defendant is objecting on specific grounds.
See United States v. Berry, 977 F.2d 915, 918 (5th Cir. 1992); United States v.
Martinez, 962 F.2d 1161, 1166 (5th Cir. 1992). Polasek did not simply assert
that she objected to Eppes's testimony; she articulated reasons that go to the
very heart of our ban on guilt by association evidence. Nor is this case
analogous to those situations in which a party objects on one ground at trial
and attempts to rely on a different ground on appeal. See United States v. Musa,
45 F.3d 922, 924 & n.5 (5th Cir. 1995); United States v. Heath, 970 F.2d 1397,
1407 (5th Cir. 1992). Polasek protested at trial that Eppes's testimony showed
only her association with persons later convicted of odometer fraud, and she
makes the same claim now. While perhaps not as eloquent as she could have been,
Polasek pointed out that the evidence of her associates' convictions showed
nothing about her guilt of the crime charged or of any other bad act that might
have been admissible under Rule 404(b), and thus constituted no more or less
than proof that some of her friends were convicts. Accordingly, we find that she
made a timely objection and review the district court's admission of the
evidence of her associates' convictions for abuse of discretion.
[117] It is well established in this circuit that the government may not attempt
to prove a defendant's guilt by showing that she associates with "unsavory
characters." United States v. Singleterry, 646 F.2d 1014, 1018 (5th Cir. Unit A
June 1981) (finding plain error where the prosecutor asked the defendant whether
he associated with felons). Accordingly, we found error in United States v.
Parada-Talamantes, 32 F.3d 168, 170 (5th Cir. 1994), where the government showed
that the defendant's brother had sold the co-defendant a van with secret
compartments for smuggling marijuana, and in United States v. Romo, 669 F.2d
285, 288-89 (5th Cir. 1982), where the prosecution introduced evidence that a
defendant on trial for drug offenses associated with drug dealers. In United
States v. Labarbera, 581 F.2d 107, 109 (5th Cir. 1978), we held improper the
cross-examination of a defendant, charged with a gun law violation, concerning
the arrest of his son for a similar offense. And in United States v. Vigo, 435
F.2d 1347, 1350-51 (5th Cir. 1970), we held the admission of evidence that the
defendant's husband had been convicted of selling and possessing heroin to be
error. *fn2 Similarly, Eppes's statements that Polasek had done title work for
persons later convicted of odometer fraud showed only that she associated with
criminals. It was therefore inadmissible guilt by association evidence.
[118] The government attempts to justify Eppes's testimony as proper extrinsic
offense evidence. Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b) provides:
[119] "Evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts is not admissible to prove the
character of a person in order to show action in conformity therewith. It may,
however, be admissible for other purposes, such as proof of motive, opportunity,
intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or
accident . . . ." Fed. R. Evid. 404(b).
[120] That Polasek's former business associates had been convicted of odometer
fraud, the government claims, was evidence that Polasek herself had altered
titles or otherwise facilitated odometer tampering through manipulating
paperwork. Although Polasek was not charged with these incidents, such other
crimes were admissible to show knowledge and intent in order to rebut Polasek's
contention that she neither knew how to further odometer fraud or had the intent
to do so at Montgomery Motors. Therefore, the government insists, the proof of
Polasek's associates' convictions was qualitatively different from that in
Singleterry, Parada-Talamantes, Romo, and Vigo, in which the prosecution merely
showed that the defendant knew or was related to criminals. We disagree. At
trial, the government failed to demonstrate that Polasek in fact falsified
titles or committed any other crimes in connection with the convicted
associates. *fn3 The prosecutor asked only whether Agent Eppes had found any
paperwork done by Polasek among the papers of her convicted associates; indeed,
he did not even inquire whether the paperwork she had handled had been altered.
While evidence that Polasek previously had committed odometer fraud might have
been admissible to show knowledge and intent, the proof adduced by the
government at trial simply did not demonstrate wrongdoing on Polasek's part.
Rather, it established only that she had done title work for persons who had
later been convicted of odometer fraud. Thus, this case does not differ from
those Polasek cites.
[121] The government also argues that even if introducing the convictions of
Polasek's associates was error, it is not reversible error because the evidence
against Polasek was overwhelming. See United States v. Escamilla, 666 F.2d 126,
128 (5th Cir. 1982). This is essentially an argument that the admission of
Polasek's associates' convictions constituted harmless error. Even if the
district court erred in its evidentiary rulings, such error can be excused if it
was harmless. See United States v. Lowery, 135 F.3d 957, 959 (5th Cir. 1998). A
non-constitutional trial error is harmless unless it "had substantial and
injurious effect or influence in determining the jury's verdict." Id. (quoting
Kotteakos v. United States, 328 U.S. 750, 776 (1946)) (internal quotation marks
omitted); see United States v. Sanchez-Sotelo, 8 F.3d 202, 210 (5th Cir. 1993)
(stating that in order to reverse a conviction on the basis of an evidentiary
error, the appellate court must find a "significant possibility that the
testimony had a substantial impact on the jury") (quoting United States v. Cain,
587 F.2d 678, 682 (5th Cir. 1979)) (internal quotation marks omitted).
[122] In support of its contention that the evidence of Polasek's guilt was
overwhelming and that her associates' convictions could have had no effect on
the jury's verdict, the government points out that five witnesses testified
either that they saw Polasek alter titles, that Polasek bragged about falsifying
titles, or both. The prosecution further contends that the cases in which guilt
by association evidence was found to be reversible error involved circumstantial
or weak evidence against the defendant. We do not agree that the guilt by
association evidence in this case was harmless.
[123] First, the cases in which the prosecution's proof was found to be
"overwhelming" involved situations where the defendant's guilt was established
by undercover government agents or informers acting with the defendant. See
Westmoreland, 841 F.2d at 580 (finding "overwhelming" tape recordings of the
defendant discussing a kickback scheme with an undercover government agent and
laughingly accepting his money); United States v. Blalock, 564 F.2d 1180, 1192
(5th Cir. 1977) (finding evidence of guilt overwhelming where an informer
testified as to the defendant's active participation in a drug smuggling scheme
and government agents saw him and his co-defendant pick up smuggled drugs); see
also United States v. Echavarria-Olarte, 904 F.2d 1391, 1399 (9th Cir. 1990)
(refusing to reverse where defendant neither challenged undercover agent's
testimony that he had participated in a drug smuggling conspiracy with the
defendant nor explained why, as he claimed in his defense, he would want to
pretend to be a smuggler). Although the government introduced evidence that
Polasek previously had been convicted of odometer fraud and that Agent Eppes had
warned her not to submit falsified titles, the only direct evidence against
Polasek was the testimony of five Montgomery Motors co-workers. One of these
already had been convicted for his role in the odometer fraud scheme, and some
of the others admitted to potentially felonious conduct in connection with their
jobs at the dealership. The defendant vigorously challenged their credibility at
trial. We do not wish to imply, of course, that guilt by association evidence is
always harmful where the only evidence against the defendant is accomplice
testimony, or that evidence of guilt can never be overwhelming unless government
agents or informers testify that they observed the defendant committing a crime.
Rather, we simply note that the evidence against Polasek, while strong, is
perhaps not "overwhelming."
[124] This case is also distinguishable from United States v. MMR Corp., 907
F.2d 489, 501-01 (5th Cir. 1990), where we found evidence that the defendant
corporation's business associates and alleged co-conspirators had been charged
with bid rigging harmless where it was largely cumulative of properly admitted
evidence of that they participated in a bid rigging conspiracy. In contrast, the
evidence of Polasek's associates' convictions was not cumulative of any other
evidence presented at trial. Moreover, in MMR, the district court carefully
prohibited any evidence of the Disposition of the charges in an effort to tailor
the evidence to the object of its offer, that the alleged co-conspirators had
become "preferred clients" of the government. Id. That was not the case here,
where the testimony included statements that Polasek's associates had been
convicted was not tailored to any legitimate purpose. *fn4
[125] More important, we find that the guilt by association evidence likely had
substantial impact on the jury's verdict as a result of the emphasis the
government placed upon it. As a preliminary matter, we note that we repeatedly
have characterized guilt by association evidence as "highly prejudicial,"
Parada-Talamantes, 32 F.3d at 170; Romo, 669 F.2d at 288; Labarbera, 581 F.2d at
109, and "damaging," Vigo, 435 F.2d at 1351. We must evaluate the admission of
such evidence on a case-by-case basis, however. See United States v. Howell, 664
F.2d 101, 106 n.4 (5th Cir. Unit B Dec. 1981). One relevant consideration, of
course, is the amount of time spent on the guilt by association evidence. See
Westmoreland, 841 F.2d at 579 (finding no prejudicial impact in part because
references to the defendant's guilty associates did not "permeate the record").
Although the challenged evidence in this case took up only six transcript pages
of a four-volume trial transcript, it constituted most of Agent Eppes's rebuttal
testimony, and the government methodically elicited information about each
target of Eppes's investigation, whether he had found paperwork done by Polasek,
whether the target was prosecuted, whether he was convicted, and what for.
Furthermore, the prosecutor highlighted the extraneous convictions during its
closing rebuttal argument, telling the jury that Polasek must have known about
and participated in the Montgomery Motors scheme because she had worked for
dealers convicted of odometer fraud in the past. This insistence that the
defendant's associates' convictions somehow showed her guilt was thus the last
thing the jury heard before retiring to deliberate. Given the totality of the
circumstances, we find that this blatant appeal to guilt by association was not
harmless. We must therefore reverse Polasek's conviction. Because we reverse on
this issue, we need not reach Polasek's other challenges to her conviction and
[127] For the reasons given above, we REVERSE defendant-appellant's conviction.

[128] *fn1 Hubert pleaded guilty to odometer fraud before Polasek's trial. He
was sentenced to thirty-six months in prison, three years of supervised release,
and a $15,000.00 fine.
[129] *fn2 We have not yet explicitly determined what statute or rule of
evidence guilt by association evidence violates. Many of our sister circuits,
however, have concluded that such evidence is irrelevant under Federal Rules of
Evidence 401 and 402 or unduly prejudicial under Rule 403. See United States v.
Johnson, 934 F.2d 936, 942-43 (8th Cir. 1991) (analyzing the defendant's guilt
by association argument under Rules 401 and 403); United States v. St. Michael's
Credit Union, 880 F.2d 579, 600-02 (1st Cir. 1989) (applying Rules 401, 402, and
403 in evaluating the defendant's challenge to testimony about her father's
alleged gambling activity); United States v. Cunningham, 804 F.2d 58, 61-62 (6th
Cir. 1986) (finding evidence that defendants' relative had been convicted of the
same crime for which they were on trial, which presented a "clear danger of
guilt by association," was irrelevant under Rule 401); United States v. Peters,
791 F.2d 1270, 1307-08 (7th Cir. 1986) (stating that the defendant challenged
guilt by association evidence as unduly prejudicial under Rule 403 and analyzing
the allegedly erroneous admission of that evidence under this rule); United
States v. Khan, 787 F.2d 28, 34 (2d Cir. 1986) (recounting that the "defendant
contends that the trial Judge should have excluded the evidence under [Rule] 403
on the ground that its probative value was substantially outweighed by the
danger of unfair prejudice, because it `subliminally appeal[ed] to guilt by
association and potentially to prejudice against foreigners'" but ultimately
concluding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in overruling
the Rule 403 objection) (quoting defendant-appellant's brief); United States v.
Hernandez, 780 F.2d 113, 118 (D.C. Cir. 1986) (holding that the challenged
evidence violated Rule 403 because it was only a "slightly refined version of
guilt by association," not legitimately admissible proof). Rule 401 defines
relevant evidence as "evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any
fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or
less probable than it would be without the evidence." Fed. R. Evid. 401. Rule
402 prohibits the admission of irrelevant evidence. See Fed. R. Evid. 402. Rule
403 provides that relevant evidence nonetheless may be excluded "if its
probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice,
confusion of the issues, or misleading the jury, or by considerations of undue
delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence." Fed. R.
Evid. 403. Accordingly, there are two arguments against guilt by association
evidence: first, that it is not relevant as that term is defined in Rule 401 and
hence is inadmissible under Rule 402, and second, that even if it is relevant,
it is unduly prejudicial and excludible under Rule 403. Polasek's associates'
convictions are simply irrelevant to her case. The government never demonstrated
that Polasek participated in or even knew of the schemes for which the
associates were convicted. Even assuming that the evidence was relevant for some
purpose, its prejudicial effect substantially outweighed its probative value: It
altogether failed to prove any wrongdoing on Polasek's part but insidiously
linked her with criminals in such a way that the jury might have concluded, as
the government argued in its closing argument, that it was no coincidence that
many of her associates had been convicted of the crime for which she was on
[130] *fn3 We acknowledge that at the end of his rebuttal examination of Agent
Eppes, the prosecutor asked whether Eppes had, during his investigation of
Dwayne Hutchins, found titles "tampered with and handled by" Polasek, to which
Eppes replied, "Yes." At all other times, however, the prosecutor asked only
whether Polasek had "handled" paperwork for the convicted individuals. Even if
the last question was proper 404(b) evidence that Polasek had altered titles for
Hutchins, the others clearly asked only whether Polasek had worked for persons
convicted of odometer fraud. We also note that at one point during Eppes's
rebuttal testimony, the prosecutor asked whether Eppes found "paperwork" in
connection with his investigation of Travis Barnes, and added: "When I say
`paperwork,' I'm talking about odometers that had been tampered with in that
investigation." Eppes answered that some of the "paper" had been "handled" by
Polasek. We recognize that this testimony conceivably could be understood as
stating that Polasek altered documents for Barnes. We find this interpretation
something of a stretch, however, especially since the prosecutor never
explicitly asked whether Polasek altered documents and almost invariably phrased
his questions as whether she had "handled" paperwork for the convicted car
[131] *fn4 One could argue, of course, that the evidence of Polasek's
associates' convictions was tailored to rebut her claim that she did not know
that certain car dealers for whom she had worked had been convicted of odometer
fraud. This argument lacks merit, however. While Eppes's testimony shows that
Polasek's associates had in fact been convicted, it in no way demonstrates her
knowledge of that fact.

The seven new faith communities that sprang up across Upper New York over the past four years helped the denomination surpass its 2008-2012 quadrennial goal of new church starts by over 5 percent.
The new starts were Center Point Church in Boonville, New World Ministries in Syracuse, Grace Adventure in Vestal, The Road @ West Genesee in Syracuse, Lao Good News UMC in Johnson City, Burmese Congregation in Buffalo and Reverb in Bath; the last two are not currently active.
Across the U.S., church planters had hoped to establish 650 new United Methodist churches during the past four years, and they exceeded that mark by 34 new church starts.
"These numbers give me great hope as I look forward to beginning my new role in July," said Binghamton District Superintendent David Masland, who will begin a new role as the Conference director of New Faith Communities as of July 1. The position is part of the Plentiful Harvest initiative approved at the 2012 Annual Conference Session. Plentiful Harvest has two components: Planting new faith communities and revitalizing existing congregations through Hand to Plow.
"God is doing great things around the country. There are many people that are ahead of us in this work, that have learned a lot of things the hard way. I will be building relationships with many of these people, and we will all benefit from what I/we can learn from them," he said.
Of the 63 annual conferences in the U.S., 61 of them saw new congregational starts, and all five jurisdictions recorded healthy growth: 92 in the Northeastern, 232 new churches in the Southeastern, 146 in the South Central, 148 in the North Central and 66 in the Western.
"This data is exciting for us to share so annual conferences can see how they are a part of a larger denominational church planting movement," said the Rev. Candace M. Lewis, executive director of New Church Starts (Path1), a division of The General Board of Discipleship (GBOD). "That's one of the reasons we celebrate our numerical progress as it reflects all of us working together to create new places for new people and to reach more young people and diverse people."
"We want to celebrate the work that our planters, developers, superintendents and bishops have done to plant these 684 new churches," she added.
The fact that the denominational goal was surpassed over the past four years is, from Rev. Masland's perspective, "a sign of God's hand being vitally involved."
"I believe that it is God's spirit that puts within people's hearts a desire to reach new people in new ways … and it is God's spirit that moves new people to come when new opportunities are offered. And, I believe God would plant these new communities of faith whether we were doing it or not. God will plant new things through whomever is open and willing! I think this statistic is a sure sign that our denomination has aligned (itself) with the movement of the Holy Spirit," he said.
Although the new church starts can be a barometer of denominational health, Rev. Masland said the purpose of new faith communities is not to enhance membership rolls.
"Our goal is to 'make disciples.' I think we need new ways of measuring what God is doing," he said.
The latest figures show improvement over the previous quadrennium; the denomination planted 278 churches during the previous quadrennium ending in 2007. Based on the most current data from the General Council on Finance and Administration, the closure rate for new churches since 2008 has been 8 percent, or 59 of 684 churches, a significant improvement over the close rate of 26 percent during the 2004-2007 period.
One aspect of deciding where and when a new faith community is needed, so that down the line it doesn't become part of the church closures figure, is identifying growing but underserved populations across the Conference.
"There are groups of people that our current United Methodist churches are not reaching, both racial/ethnic minority groups, and other groups," Rev. Masland said. "Most of our urban settings are much more culturally and ethnically diverse than our nearby local churches. We will be actively seeking to learn with these folks, and create pathways for new church plants that meet their dreams. In other words, we will not assume we know what kind of church they want or need, but will make it possible for these folks to build the church that want for themselves.
"In addition, new faith communities are needed to reach the college students, young adults, Gen Xers, and baby boomers that − for whatever reasons − are not connecting with church the way our churches are living now. Once again, we need to empower these groups to create the church they want and need."
"The good news is there are a bunch of others in the formative stages right now that will be starting this year," Rev. Masland added. There have been two new faith communities started in the Conference since July 1: the Wilton "Restart" in Wilton and Fresh Start at the Arnot Mall in Horseheads.
At the current planting rate of 11.4 new churches per month across the denomination, Path1 believes a new goal of 1,000 new church plants by the end of the current quadrennium is achievable, and will move toward the goal of planting a new church a day by 2020.

I have noticed seed pods on my geraniums as fall approaches. Are those seeds viable? Im talking the annual varity. |

The seeds should be viable but only way to tell is to try to grow them. I don't have much experience on this except for one year I grew geraniums from purchased seeds quite successfully. Maybe someone else can chime in on harvesting the seeds and how and when to plant. They will not produce new plants exactly the same as the parent although some may look similar to the parent. It should be a fun experiment to see what you do get if you decide to try. Keep us posted if you do....maybe a photo journal of the process...? |

Well here we are. My husband started managing stress by having a few glasses of wine after work about 15 years ago. We never drank before that except at a party or office party dinner. I didn't like it from the very beginning and we had counseling to no lasting avail. Now he is drinking every evening, at least 4 drinks...usually a whole bottle of wine. On weekends even more, up to a whole 1.75 liter bottle of wine in one day. We can never go to a restaurant in the evening that doesn't serve it. He usually has 3. Many times he's had 4-5 but I've gotten him down to 3. He promised 2 when we're out so he could drive but he doesn't stick to it. When he has 3 or more I drive. He's a good man. He retires in 2 years and will be out from under the stress. I'm wondering how to handle this. We have a pretty good marriage otherwise. I can support myself so that is not an issue for me. Tonight I decided I might tell him that since drs all say men should not have more than 2 a night, that's the only way I will go out with him...if he promises to stop at 2. I really don't know. I hate it. It bothers me sometimes so much I can't describe. Other times I'm somehow able to deal with it. He is not mean but pretty disgusting sometimes and definitely not attractive. It seems very weak to me and I don't like that in a man. He has admitted there is a problem, cuts back a little for a week or so,then it's the same pattern again. I really need help if you've got any ideas for me. I am very happy and active in my own life. |

You cannot control someone elses drinking-period. I highly suggest you get yourself to an al anon meeting asap. If you think it will get better after he retires you are kidding yourself. I come from a long line of hard drinking alcoholics and I promise you the only way you will get some control over your situation is to get a good support system and learn all you can about alcoholism. You can't make him stop or change his drinking patterns. Only he can do that. Please, please take care of yourself and try at least 3-4 differnet al anon meetings to get comfortable with how it works. Hugs, keeping you in my thoughts. |
"If you think it will get better after he retires you are kidding yourself." catlettuce speaks truth. The weekend consumption/behavior is your clue. |
You are married to an alcoholic. There is nothing you can do to get him to stop. He has to WANT to stop. Saying he drinks because of stress is an excuse....he drinks because he wants to and will always find a reason to drink. I agree with the Al-Anon suggestion. I also highly highly highly encourage you not to threaten ANYTHING that you are not going to follow through on. I've been sober for 14+ yrs and was on the receiving end of all sorts of threats. Nothing worked until I made the decision to quit. Al-Anon will be your friend. |

Holy Bob Jackson
It's not everyday you'll see such a pristine Bob Jackson as this one, but you can expect to see gorgeous bicycles daily at Cycle EXIF. See everything this Jackson has to offer by following me here.
It's not everyday you'll see such a pristine Bob Jackson as this one, but you can expect to see gorgeous bicycles daily at Cycle EXIF. See everything this Jackson has to offer by following me here.
Adam at Cycle EXIF always finds the most gorgeous bicycles and this Rene Herse Commuter is a perfect example. Have a look at the full set and read up on the history here; I've posted a few more shots below – check out that stem cap switch for the front light
Blotto's got another new bike and I was lucky enough to see it in the shop earlier today. *This isn't it (or maybe it is, I don't know where he acquired it ), but it's the same frame, same stunning paint. The pictured Nagasawa belongs to Alan of Cycling WMD and I came across the photos at Prolly Is Not Probably and Cycle EXIF. Make sure to keep peekin' below (peep that DA 10-pitch) and hopefully we'll see some shots of Blotto's build, right?
photos/owner: Matthew Mead
Ever since I first saw a stock Salsa Fargo in-person, I knew I'd eventually see some great custom builds online. Not only is this aesthetically pleasing, it's also built for the long haul on any type of terrain you can throw at it. Plan a singletrack tour, grab some buddies and go play in the woods for a few days! Read more about Matthew's Fargo at Cycle EXIF. See a few choice shots below.
Adam from Cycle EXIF offered up some great questions in his recent interview with Andy White, the man behind Fyxomatosis. He's been known to build, restore, and photograph some of the most frimp-worthy bikes on the world wide web. See what he's got to say over at Cycle EXIF.
I love fat mountain bikes. Endurance racing/touring is something I've never had the chance to experience yet, but definitely wouldn't count myself out in terms of giving it a shot; the bikes are so rad!
Here's a Salsa Mukluk that Adam at Cycle EXIF posted the other day-more on the bike below and at Cycle EXIF.
I can't think of a more awesome name for a downhill ripper than Candyman.
Candyman, Candyman, Candyman….
This Bicycle Fabrications rig appeared at this years NAHBS and I'm sure it really stuck out among all the lugged steel; it being a ti and carbon downhill bike and all.
See some more photos at Cycle EXIF and the NAHBS site.
Cycle EXIF always features some of the cleanest and most drool-worthy bikes on the net. I know that sentence sort-of contradicted itself, but just take a look at this mint Hutch Trick Star: Profile 3-piece cranks, Hutch ladder bars, and NOS Comp ST Duro tires on some celeste (sorta) Tuffs. Be sure to check out the full post and detail shots HERE.
This Davidson Randonneur is absolutely gorgeous; the lugwork, paint, couplers, componentry and attention to detail all come together to make this masterpiece really shine. Read about Davidson Bicycles and more on this rando at Cycle EXIF. Check out a couple more photos I liked below.
Continue reading "Cycle EXIF: Davidson Bicycles Randonneur" »
Adam at Cycle Exif has a knack for finding some pretty outrageous bicycles, in my opinion this one takes the cake. The frame was built by Dario Pegoretti for Tiziano Zullo (what?!), as for those wheels, Campagnolo Vento rims laced with gold titanium nitrite bladed spokes to 1940's Airlite hubs, filled and re-drilled to be 20 hole and 24 carrot gold plated spindels. Dumb. I won't bother with any more details, but if that isn't enough to make you check out this post, I don't know what is.
I bet this photo has you drooling already. This Chiossi Cycles Maino frame was originally built in the 1940s and I'm sure it had lots of love throughout it's life, but no love like Paolo Chiossi gave to it. He removed the cable and pump bosses, gave it this lovely eggplant paint job, and built up a nice pair of wooden Ghisallo rims. The bike features a dynamo front hub and a 3-speed coaster in the rear, both Sturmey-Archer of course. Check out a few of my favorite shots below and make sure to head over to Cycle EXIF for the full story. Continue reading "Beauties: Chiossi Cycles Maino 3-Speed" »
I have a soft spot for porteur bikes, something about the simplicity and functionality of them makes them hard to resist. Today's Cycle Exif post features a real beauty, constructed from Reynolds 753 and painted in a way that Scrooge McDuck might appreciate, this lugged arrow frame is beautiful. Check out a few detail shots below, and head over to Cycle Exif for the rest of the set.

I'm guessing now would be a horrible time to tell my father I also dont believe in his religion(Judaism), but have my own faith. I believe God is really Claire and SHE is lesbian, how else could she be so pissy at times, lazy, and sometimes very unique? Right now Claire is on her period and doesnt have enough Midol and Chocolate cake, lucky lucky.
I get to hang with Daddy's whore and my Gradnmother who after 14 years still fails to note me existence. Like I said, Claire is on her period. Can you hear that doorbell ring? Father-Dearest awaits.

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Listen to the word that the LORD has spoken to you, people of Israel! | 1 Hear what the LORD says to you, O house of Israel. |
2 The LORD proclaims: Don't follow the ways of the nations or be troubled by signs in the sky, even though the nations are troubled by them. | 2 This is what the LORD says: "Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the sky, though the nations are terrified by them. |
3 The rituals of the nations are hollow: a tree from the forest is chopped down and shaped by the craftsman's tools. | 3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. |
4 It's overlaid with silver and gold, and fastened securely with hammer and nails so it won't fall over. | 4 They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. |
5 They are no different than a scarecrow in a cucumber patch: they can't speak; they must be carried because they can't walk. Don't be afraid of them, because they can't do harm or good. | 5 Like a scarecrow in a melon patch, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good." |
6 LORD, no one is like you! You are great, and great is your mighty name. | 6 No one is like you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is mighty in power. |
7 Who wouldn't fear you, king of the nations? That is your due; among all the wise of the nations and in all their countries, there is no one like you! | 7 Who should not revere you, O King of the nations? This is your due. Among all the wise men of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you. |
8 But they are both foolish and silly; they offer nothing because they are mere wood. | 8 They are all senseless and foolish; they are taught by worthless wooden idols. |
9 Covered with silver from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz, they are the work of a craftsman and the hands of a goldsmith. Clothed in blue and purple, all of them nothing more than the work of artisans. | 9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz. What the craftsman and goldsmith have made is then dressed in blue and purple-- all made by skilled workers. |
10 But the LORD is the true God! He's the living God and the everlasting king! When he's angry, the earth quakes; the nations can't endure his rage. | 10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King. When he is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure his wrath. |
11 Tell them this: The gods who didn't make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under the heavens. | 11 "Tell them this: 'These gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.' " |
12 But God made the earth by his might; he shaped the world by his wisdom, crafted the skies by his knowledge. | 12 But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. |
13 At the sound of his voice, the heavenly waters roar. He raises the clouds from the ends of the earth. He sends the lightning with the rain, the wind from his treasuries. | 13 When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses. |
14 Everyone is too foolish to understand; every goldsmith is dishonored by his idols, for their images are shams; they aren't alive. | 14 Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. His images are a fraud; they have no breath in them. |
15 They are a delusion, a charade; at the appointed time they will vanish! | 15 They are worthless, the objects of mockery; when their judgment comes, they will perish. |
16 Jacob's portion is utterly different because God has formed all things, including Israel, his very own people— the LORD of heavenly forces is his name! | 16 He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the Maker of all things, including Israel, the tribe of his inheritance-- the LORD Almighty is his name. |
17 Pack your bags and get ready to leave, you who live under siege. | 17 Gather up your belongings to leave the land, you who live under siege. |
18 The LORD proclaims: I'm going to eject those who live in the land at this time; I will badger them until they leave. | 18 For this is what the LORD says: "At this time I will hurl out those who live in this land; I will bring distress on them so that they may be captured." |
19 How terrible for me, due to my injury; my wound is terrible. Yet I said to myself: This is my sickness, and I must bear it. | 19 Woe to me because of my injury! My wound is incurable! Yet I said to myself, "This is my sickness, and I must endure it." |
20 But now my tent is destroyed; all its ropes are cut, and my children are gone for good. There's no one left to set up my tent frame and to attach the fabric. | 20 My tent is destroyed; all its ropes are snapped. My sons are gone from me and are no more; no one is left now to pitch my tent or to set up my shelter. |
21 The shepherd kings have lost their senses and don't seek answers from the LORD. That is why they have failed and their flock is scattered. | 21 The shepherds are senseless and do not inquire of the LORD; so they do not prosper and all their flock is scattered. |
22 Listen! The sound is getting louder, a mighty uproar from the land of the north; it will reduce the towns of Judah to ruins, a den for wild dogs. | 22 Listen! The report is coming-- a great commotion from the land of the north! It will make the towns of Judah desolate, a haunt of jackals. |
23 I know, LORD, that our lives are not our own, that we're not able to direct our paths. | 23 I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps. |
24 So correct me, LORD, but with justice, not in your anger, or else you will reduce me to nothing. | 24 Correct me, LORD, but only with justice-- not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing. |
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that ignore you and on the people who don't call on you, since they have devoured Jacob; they have devoured him completely and ruined his country. | 25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the peoples who do not call on your name. For they have devoured Jacob; they have devoured him completely and destroyed his homeland. |

Chairs. A large mess, a canteen where prices were absurd, a library & a concert room. Also a square where one could walk for exercise. Daily programme: 8.30 am: cup of coffee & biscuit in bed. 9.15 am: get up. 10 am: Roll call. 10.10 am: breakfast in room, coffee fish cake & toast. 10.40 am get into appel cue [sic]. 12.30 pm: dinner in mess. 4.00 pm: tea in room, coffee french biscuits & sometimes jam. 4.15 pm: library opens. 6pm: supper in mess. 7pm: supper in room. 8.45pm Roll call. 9pm lights out & last cup of coffee. Sit in front of fire talking until about 11 pm, then to bed. Hot baths obtainable Mon. Thurs. & Sat. from 9-11 am, Particular attention paid to saluting German officers. Food: Dinner, watery soup, vegetable mush & bread. Supper, soup & vegetable mush. Meat twice weekly (Apalling). (tins of fish 4mks50) "21st Jan. '18 Monday (Landshut Camp) Commandant 'revs' about room being untidy. 8 people in one room and no place to put things. What does the gentleman expect? Talk about economising by cutting down extra food owing to exorbitant prices. Things seem to go up when we order them two or three times! Method of getting things is to order them & then be told the price afterwards... Interpretor not very brilliant at English. He nearly orders peat when we asked for peas. Luckily none obtainable. "22nd Jan '18 Feeling fed up to the teeth and very slack. Lie in bed in morning and ruminate on our treatment. Come to conclusion that it is disgraceful. Am sick of always feeling hungry. Someone said "always get up from a meal feeling slightly hungry". Being a gefanganer ought to suit him, but I'd like a few words with him all the same! Can't get used to having no breakfast & no outdoor exercise. We are given no chairs, only stools, straw mattresses & pillows; no place to keep clothes; insufficient coal & we live & sleep on one low-ceiling room with small windows. Ye Gods! Sanitary arrangements the worst I have ever seen! Horrible feeling of being cut off from the world. No letters or parcels for nearly a fortnight. Interpreter doesn't help much. Some fellows do their best for us, e.g. the doctor & Mr. Pastor. A tin bath is provided today & is about big enough to get both feet into" |

Crucifixion spike

They were forged out of RR spikes!
Anyone else ever done any?

"Christmas Nail"
It is to be hung on a sturdy branch ,
a branch near the trunk,a branch that
will hold such a spike without being noticed by
well-wishers dropping by to admire one's
tinseled tree. The NAIL is known only to the
home that hangs it and understood by the
heart that knows its significance. It is hung with
the thought that the Christmas Tree foreshadows the
Christ-tree which only He could decorate for us,
ornamented with NAILS such as this.
wrap a piece of copper wire under the head then make a hook so it can hang from a tree.Makes a great gift for friends and family.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. - Scott Adams
Posted 05 December 2009 - 10:05 PM
I was looking at a site that had a nail that was still through what was left of a cross beam and it was clinched over on the back and had a washer on the front side apparently to keep the nail head from tearing through the flesh. I think it was on the Biblical Archaeology site some time ago. Not a nice way to go.
I was at Robb Gunter's this past fall and he said they have excavated 2 bodies with nails through BOTH ankles from the side of the ankle. And both nails had the wooden 'washer' made from olive wood. Robb is extremely knowledgable in Biblical iron work... He sited the same reason for the washers.

I like it and may have to steal that idea, and give it to my pastor for Christmas.

The nail was bent over and unable to be removed, so it was thought to be the reason why they found it like that upon excavation. I would imagine that there were several nails reused…gruesome business, but cool to have some artifacts to help us guess how it went down…
They went further to state that in this location of the heel where the nail passed through had no major blood vessels, but large clusters of nerves. Meaning the extended pain and suffering for the individual without undue blood loss.
…just like anything a lot of this is trying to see the full picture of the puzzle with several pieces missing. There are a whole lot of ideas out there on it, and I am sure even more ways of doing it, nail sizes, etc…
Posted 08 December 2009 - 09:45 AM
Makes you think what humans went through back in that time period. Thanks for showing us.
Yes I can't even begin to imagine a death like that! Also shows us the pure depravity of man too; to think that any group of people would use that as a standard method of execution! It's a lot like the tortures of the "Inquisition" and other groups throughout history! You read about the stuff that was used to torture and prolong the death of individuals, and you think "goodness gracious, how could someone do that to someone else, JUST because they think differently!" Something to think about anyway!
Back on subject!
Thanks for all the complements!

His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.
Posted 08 December 2009 - 02:48 PM
Gruesome, and cruel most definitely.
This is less a "thanks for sharing" and more a "thanks for reminding" since this season is not about the commercialization of the world, black Friday or cyber Monday or N shopping days left till Christmas, only to be set to 365 come Christmas.
I'm not very religious either, but faith is very important. Thank you.

One of the historical things about it I read was that they were made square so that when the victim tried to raise himself to relieve pressure, the hands rotated on the square edges. Ouch!
Just something interesting!

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 Niko - wirey cutie!
Facts about Niko - wirey cutie
- Breed: Cairn Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Gray/Blue/Silver/Salt & Pepper
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Niko - wirey cutie's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
10 lbs, 1 year wirey sweetheart ! gentle, housebroken, loving lap dog, Niko is perfect!
$250 adoption fee includes:
rabies vaccine
distepmer parvo vaccine
bordatella vaccine
tested negative for heartworm, tick fever and lyme disease
new collar and leash
Other Pets at Haven Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Niko - wirey cutie, a Phoenix Cairn Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cairn Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Cairn Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix 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 Phoenix 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 Cairn Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Cairn Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

Our New Sorting System
Over the past few months we've been hard at work on a new sorting system, which you can now see through the glass doors on the way to the Children's section.
Items returned through the outdoor book drop are identified and checked back in, then the belts and rollers put them in the appropriate bins with others of their type. This means fewer hands have to touch items to get them back on the shelves.
This, along with other improvements, equates to faster turn-around of items, getting you the books and more you want - quicker than ever.

The TSA agent appeared to be a woman in her 50s or 60s, who at least TRIED to restrain this passenger.. Â Glad to see the cop step in and throw the b!!tch down. Â If more people did that, we'd have fewer folks running amok in airports and everywhere else.
With all of that security around, why did it take an off duty cop to take charge? Way to go TSA.

Roberto Cavalli presents new models for fall/winter 2012-2013
Models inspired by the designer's iconic elements: animal patterns, snake prints and denim
Feminine, sensual, sophisticated and modern are the characteristics of the woman who inspired the refined and contemporary style of the new Roberto Cavalli Eyewear vision collection of seven models. The new acetate and metal models take their inspiration from the designer's iconic animal patterns, snake prints and denim fabric that along with elegant lines and precious details make the entire collection totally appealing.
RC685: a cat-eye shape and two-level profile for an acetate model in bright, contrasting colors inspired by the latest trends.
RC688: presented in numerous color variations suitable for any occasion, this acetate model has temples with denim inserts.
RC696: A Baroque style for this classically-shaped acetate model with the elegant RC monogram on finely crafted metal temples.
RC690: a classical shape also for this acetate model enhanced by the particular artisan workmanship of the metal frame that creates a special lace effect.
RC694: vintage-inspired metal eyewear with a strong identity; the sinuous, elegant shape is given by the snake print decoration.
RC702: a model with an all-metal retro shape and front enhanced by crafted metal inserts in alternating colors.
RC692: a rectangular, slightly rounded shape for a model with gem-crafted metal to create an irregular and multifaceted effect.
The sun collection has 4 models that are identified by the animal element and the snake icon combined with styles and modern details that create an über-sensual collection in line with the trends of the moment.
RC666: a cat-eye frame with the heraldic monogram engraved on a metal tag applied to the temples.
RC669: an animal print theme for this generous, sensual model featuring a python-skin effect framing the front.
RC671: metal eyewear softened by a sinuous animal detail on the temple.
RC670: a model inspired by the iconic snake. The frame and temples are joined by a single scratched-effect metal decoration for feminine and sensual women.

Island Pilot honored for DSe Hybrid
Posted onEarlier this month, Island Pilot president Reuben Trane accepted the Ocean-Going Hybrid Mansura Award for the DSe Hybrid from London's Royal Thames Yacht Club.
Mansura Awards are given in five categories: Ocean-Going Hybrid; Inland Waterways Hybrid; All-Electric Craft Employing More Than One Source of Power; Hydrogen-Cell Craft and Prototypes and Trial Craft.
This is the first year the Ocean-Going Hybrid award has been given and the second year of presenting the Mansura Trophy to a selected company or builder seeking solutions to environmental challenges.
In presenting this award to Island Pilot, the judges commented that the DSe "is similar in concept to that of the original Hybrid yacht, Mansura."
Judging is based on a number of specific requirements and considerations are also given to ease and economy of manufacture, practicality of use for stated applications and market potential.
