The general manager at Santa Maria Toyota says replacement parts for faulty gas pedals should arrive as early as tomorrow. He says wear and tear on a metal plate inside the pedal mechanics was causing it to stick. Toyota is installing a reinforcement that will act as a spring mechanism to prevent the pedal from sticking.
The dealership says Toyota has plenty of parts available. The service center plans to keep extended hours to take care of all the recalled vehicles. The general manager hopes to begin selling some of the popular recalled vehicles, such as the Camry and Corolla, in the next couple of weeks.
With millions of Toyota vehicles recalled due to safety concerns over sudden acceleration, engineering experts at Consumer Reports do have advice to keep you safe should you run into acceleration problems.
1) Press hard on the brake.
2) Shift into neutral. The car will come to a stop and the engine will rev.
3) Once the car stops, shut off the engine.
Consumers Reports recommends practicing these steps in a safe location.
Toyota said Monday dealers should get parts to fix the gas pedal problem by the end of the week. The federal government is also launching its own investigation into Toyota's acceleration issues.

'My girl is a genius!'
Having a super-intelligent little one can be 'interesting', says Zoe Townsend, whose daughter Beatrix became one of the youngest-ever members of Mensa at the age of two
Before Beatrix was born, if someone had told me the baby I was expecting would be a member of Mensa at the age of two, I'd never have believed them.
I'd have expected such intelligence to be genetic, and while my husband and I both have degrees (I'm a trainee teacher, he'san accountant), we're not exceptional. My 10-year-old daughter, Antonia, is bright but has to work hard at school – there aren't any Nobel Prize winners in the family!
But we started to notice something unusual about Beatrix when she was about 20 months old. Until then, she'd faced lots of medical issues. She was born four weeks early, failed to thrive and was prone to infections, but reached her early milestones normally, walking at 11 months and saying her first words at around 16 months.
At that stage, we didn't think Beatrix was unusually bright – instead, we worried she might be deaf as she wouldn't respond to her name. Then, at 18 months she was diagnosed with glue ear and had grommets fitted. That's when things began to change.
In no time, she had a huge vocabulary. One day I caught her sliding down the stairs on her front, saying: 'I'm swimming like a sea lion in the ocean!' She has a very adult way of speaking, which is funny, but also slightly alarming. Beatrix turned three in June and can already read independently and can navigate around websites, like Discovery Kids, on her own.
At 22 months, Beatrix was referred to an educational psychologist who tested her IQ. The youngest tests available were for children aged 30 months, but she still scored 136, putting her in the top 2% of the population. That's when we checked out the Mensa website, out of curiosity, and sent off the IQ test just for fun. I didn't really believe she'd be accepted but she was, becoming one of the organisation's youngest-ever members.
We have been called pushy parents, but we're really not – Mensa is a useful resource for guidance with Beatrix's educational needs. And while people say how great it must be to have such a bright child, it can actually be very challenging.
Beatrix is very selective about who she'll play with, so often ends up playing alone, and gravitates more towards adults. She's also a real perfectionist – everything has to be just so otherwise she gets stressed. Then there are her legendary debating skills. I'll explain why she has to get dressed, but as far as she's concerned, there's no logical reason not to wear a nightie all day and has no problem arguing her corner. She'll say: 'Well actually, you're wrong…'
She's also super-competitive and likes to compete with her older sister. When telling her she can't do the same things because she's only two, she'll say: 'I'm not two, I'm 10!' Sometimes she sounds like a spoilt teenager. Instead of normal toddler tantrums when out, she'll say something like 'I want to go home RIGHT NOW!' and has started saying 'FINE!' and flouncing out when told something she doesn't like. In other ways, though, she's quite normal. She enjoys ballet and loves a cuddle. Having a daughter like Beatrix is fascinating, but it's also quite a rollercoaster!

I'd like to light a 4x9' accent wall in my entryway with a couple recessed lights. I was thinking smaller (3") would probably look the best. Any suggestions what type fixture to use? 120V or LV? I do like the look of MR16 bulbs. I would like them to be dimable also.
The area where I need to place them is right next to the roof line so height might be an issue. All the LV fixtures look pretty bulky and are they available in remodel? I do have attic access but would prefer not to go up there if possible. Also, I had an insulation contractor out and he said even if I use airtight cans I should still build a box out of foam in the attic and seal everything up with great stuff. Is this necessary? He said it will cause ice dams against the roof edge and recommend against the whole thing. Thanks for any advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:

It is not necessary to box airtight cans. The cans are as you would expect airtight and the trim ring comes with a gasket that seals that to the ceiling completely. You do have to check the height of whatever fixture you use. While the IC cans can touch framing, they have to FIT there. I had some that I just couldn't fit because they were L-shaped (remodel cans with the junction box hanging off to the side) and I couldn't get them into the space no way. I did find some with the junction box moutned directly to the top of the can that worked. Take measurements. |

The Fish House |
Friendship is forever, they say, unless there's an alligator in the logjam ool-pay. by Trigg White From the March/April 2011 Issue Looking back, I think everything would have been okay if Riley just hadn't winked like that. After all, Lewis is ordinarily as mellow as a dark ale, and Lewis and Riley had been friends for more than 20 years. So each would have ignored the insults, and the broken rod and slashed waders could have been overlooked. Even the fire might someday have been forgiven. But when Riley stepped onto that log, shot a quick backcast up between the trees, cocked his head toward Lewis, and squeezed off that wink as his line reached toward the big brown trout, something in Lewis just snapped. But I should start at the beginning. I first met Lewis and Riley on the West Fork of the Big Willie. I was working upstream pool-to-pool when I heard their voices. They were both kneeling about three feet apart below a small plunge pool. Lewis was on the left, and cast with his fly rod tipped across his body, gentle little lobs that delivered the fly a few inches below the plunge every time: perfect drift after perfect drift, as the fly floated back over the middle of the pool. Riley crouched to his right, lifting his line in crisp backcasts that rifled through a cleft in the bushes and shot out over the pool with the precision of a sewing machine. In alternating fashion, they dropped a fly lightly on the water every four seconds. Then the pale wavering form of a trout materialized below Lewis's fly, drifting back and inspecting it before fading into the belly of the pool. "Am-day!" Lewis yelled. (As I grew to know them, I learned the mildly-spoken Lewis swore in Pig Latin when ited.) "Haaah," roared Riley. "I got the little bugger now! He won't look at that fly again, and I'm gonna catch him while you're changing flies." Lewis already had the fly in his hand, but instead of reaching for his fly box, he slipped a tiny pair of scissors from his vest and deftly snipped off the hackle and wings. He lost only a single turn to Riley. And this time, the trout gently sucked in his surgically altered fly. The fish was on the bank almost instantly. It wouldn't have gone 10 inches, but I never heard such hoopla. "Not fair," Riley said. "You called him on an Adams!" "That is an Adams." "Was an Adams! Adams got grizzly hackle wings. That thing ain't got no wings at all. Don't count! Don't count!" Lewis was laughing. "Eagle loses a few feathers, it's still an eagle. Hell, old Joe Widcock lost a whole leg. That don't mean he ain't still a man." Riley erupted with laughter. "You old bait-fishing bastard, I got to find me someone else to fish with. Someone with better gear to borrow." I usually steer clear of other fishermen on the stream, allowing them the same solitude I seek, but curiosity prevailed. I caught their attention and scrambled down the bank to introduce myself. They were friendly and outgoing, not seeming to resent my intrusion on the little stream they obviously knew so well. That's when I learned about the game. They had fished together so much they no longer cared who caught the most fish, or even the biggest fish. Now, they fished each pool together, alternating casts. At each spot they took turns "calling" the pool, indicating the species and size of fish he would catch and the fly pattern he'd use. The caller got first cast. If he caught the fish as called, he won. But if the other caught the fish, or if the fish wasn't the species or size called, he lost. Their days ended with raucous disagreement about the final tally, and the talk usually drifted elsewhere with the matter unresolved. Over time, I realized the game provided the fodder for the good-natured ribbing and subtle gibes that they loved, and no one but them understood. I'd never before seen a friendship so relaxed and so full, and I haven't since. That's why it's hard to understand how things degenerated so completely once they bought the fish house. *** The simple frame cabin stood near the end of the dirt road leading to the stream. Lewis and Riley told themselves and others that the cabin would be a shared retreat for their families, alternating summer weekends in the cool mountains. It would take some fixing to be habitable by wives and children accustomed to floor coverings and flush toilets, but they'd work on the needed repairs and upgrades together during the first summer. Of course, each day of labor should start with a little fishing. And as you might imagine, the fishing usually stretched to consume the whole day. As they approached the fall, the cabin was still rickety and rundown, had become cluttered with fishing paraphernalia and beer bottles, and was simply called "the fish house" by Lewis and Riley, and by their family and friends who were sometimes invited for the weekend. But while the cabin itself offered little beyond a dry place to sleep and a stone fireplace to combat the mountain chill, the section of the West Fork of the Big Willie that flowed through the property was dark and mysterious in a way that keeps fishermen staring into the water. The stream narrowed and dropped into a sweeping bend that scoured an undercut bank. And as the stream had cut back the bank, the trees, one by one, had lost their footing to spring floods and toppled into the river, piling up in a monstrous and ancient logjam that backed up a deep pool spreading 30 feet bank-to-bank. It was the kind of place where a brown trout could lie among the tangle of roots and logs long enough to become an alligator—24 or even 28 inches long, with a hooked jaw and alligator teeth that snapped up any smaller fish within range. In the summer and fall of the fish house's first season, Lewis and Riley spent hours probing the logjam pool. Drifting a dry fly over those depths was pointless, so Lewis and Riley tied big stone fly nymphs to long, heavily weighted leaders. When that failed, they tied five-inch black leech patterns and purple marabou Woolly Buggers to sink-tip lines and drifted them right into the tangled maze. They never got a strike, and they lost dozens of flies. But each time the line hesitated and drew tight, the fleeting conviction that the caster was connected to the fish of a lifetime flooded his synapses and fueled the greed that has led to the downfall of so many fishermen. For Lewis and Riley believed, as any fisherman would, that a hole so deep and wooded must hold something large and wonderful. Gradually, they lost all interest in the small brookies and browns that thrived in the pockets and slicks of the West Fork of the Big Willie. And they certainly lost interest in silly games. *** A hard, wet winter closed off the road to the fish house and covered the logjam pool with a lid of ice and snow. Cold front after cold front dumped yard-tall snowfalls on the headwaters. When spring came and the snow began to melt, the river ran higher and fuller than anyone could remember. In May, Lewis and Riley could finally drive up the slushy road to the fish house, and they picked their way through the last of the snow to peer into the depths of the logjam pool. Even in the heavy runoff, they could just make out the dim bottom. Riley saw it first. Lewis might have missed it but for Riley's involuntary gasp: a dark shape hovering over the sandy bottom right in the middle of the hole—the largest brown trout either had ever seen. "Look at that!" Riley said in a rush. "What an alligator!" "Coupla feet long," said Lewis. "Maybe better." "And fat as a madam." "Fat as a madam." The rush of water had drawn the huge trout out of the log pile into the middle of the hole, where he lay near the bottom shifting gently left, then right, sucking in whatever the river brought him—stonefly nymphs, caddis larvae, dislodged worms, leeches, an errant brook trout. An angler would have to be superhuman not to covet a fish like that, and neither Lewis nor Riley was superhuman. As I heard the story, they began in their customary gentlemanly manner with a flip of the coin. Each would get three casts, and would then relinquish the hole. Lewis went first, and knotted a purple San Juan worm to a heavy tippet adorned with lead shot. Riley squirmed when he saw the rig. Lewis lobbed the fly gently up into the head of the hole, and they both imagined its tumbling trajectory through the dark water. As their gazes neared the center of the pool, the alligator shifted slightly to the left. Knowing the big fish was inspecting the fly, Lewis tensed, waited for the take. Riley felt a hot surge of jealousy. But then, the fish disappeared. No take, no second cast. Simply gone. "It-shay," said Lewis. "Damn spooky," noted Riley, not without relief. "Back into the tangle." The following day they crept to the edge of the hole, being careful to stay low and keep their shadows off the water, and found the big brown back in its lie. Riley went first. Using a sink-tip line, he side-armed a big black stonefly with waving rubber legs to the head of the pool. This time it was Lewis's turn to squirm as the fly sank toward the trout. But again, at the last instant the alligator recoiled so quickly it flushed a spray of sand, leaving behind nothing but a thin drifting cloud. And this was how it would go. Each day they'd have only one try. And because the water dropped a little each day as the snow bled from the mountains, they knew it would be only a few days before they peered into the pool to find its sandy bottom empty. "If we don't get him now, we'll never get him," Lewis said. "He'll be gone to trout Nirvana before we see this kind of high water again." As they stood on the bank and watched the sandy cloud dissipate, each man felt the fish of a lifetime slipping away. *** I suppose what followed was predictable. Most anglers will succumb to the dark grip of fish greed, though I never expected it of Lewis and Riley. The next morning it was Lewis's turn to go first. He stood on the porch pulling line through his guides, but then it slithered through the loops and piled onto the stone floor—cut in half 10 feet back from the tip. "Bastard!" he said. "Lousy sonofa…." He abandoned his Pig Latin as he grasped for the right word. He turned to see Riley running down the bank toward the logjam pool. By the time Lewis got there, Riley's big black leech was already drifting toward its target. Lewis watched, horrified, as the alligator saw it, too, and actually seemed to sniff at it. Then Lewis quickly searched the ground, and heaved in a large stone. According to all accounts, that day the fish house became a cage housing two hostile tigers, each expecting the other to attack, each man keeping his corner and planning his next move. Neither would leave, and risk abandoning the big brown to the other. And neither was willing to give the other a chance. For six days it was a standoff, and each day brought an escalation: the cut line, the missing fly box, the slashed waders, the broken rod. The morning of the seventh day, Lewis smelled gasoline, and he caught the yellow flash of flames leaping from his old truck parked outside. Then he saw Riley heading for the river, and he raced to follow. He found Riley perched precariously atop the logjam on a wobbly log no more than five inches thick, the water surging through the tangle of roots and limbs below. He's crazy, Lewis thought. Gone totally off his rocker. But in addition to insanity Lewis saw genius. Casting their flies from the bank, the current tugged on the line just as the fly neared the fish. Riley had realized that this tug, barely perceptible to them, was huge to the fish, transforming the fly from food to threat. By casting his line at a different angle from atop the pile, Riley had ensured an easy and natural drift right into the alligator's waiting jaw. He couldn't miss, Lewis realized. And because Lewis saw the genius of the move and respected Riley's insight and skill, not to mention his willingness to scramble across the rickety logjam, Lewis didn't pick up a rock to spoil the hole, even with the flames from his truck glaring behind him. He simply watched as Riley steadied himself and worked out line for the cast. But then Riley winked. They say every man has his breaking point, and no one knows what will happen when he's pushed beyond it. The log that Riley rode so carefully extended right through the pile to the bank near Lewis's feet. Just as Riley drove the rod forward for his cast, Lewis kicked the log, and the focused concentration in Riley's eyes turned to terror as his feet slipped from under him. *** I'm happy to report that Riley didn't drown, although a broken leg kept him off the water all summer. I'd like to report that this final act of treachery opened Lewis's and Riley's eyes, and stopped them from squandering a solid friendship over a fit of fish greed. But this story, like many, doesn't have a happy ending. At least not for Lewis and Riley. In the agreement the lawyers worked out, Lewis and Riley sold the fish house. They took a loss, but I found it a bargain. I've completed the repairs and made the improvements they talked about. I got most of the work done last summer, so this spring, another high-water year, I've been free to fish the river and enjoy the cabin. The rooms are bright and homey, and I've added some modest decorations. The most notable is the stuffed brown trout hanging above the mantle of the fireplace. It's a real alligator—28 inches long, and fat as a madam. _____________________ Trigg White lives, writes, guides, and fishes near Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park. He and his wife, Linda, moved full time into their own fish house eight years ago. He knows of one alligator living in a deep hole of a nearby mountain stream. Soon he will creep through the willows and the snow to peer in and see if it has survived another winter. |

Joel Lemasters Arrested After Throwing Peach Pie At Woman Who Refused To Give Him Cigarette
January 13, 2015 at 11:42 am by MorbidHAPPY VALLEY, OR – Before I start kicking your ass with the real depressing news, I'll be nice and prime your butthole with a lighter story currently making the rounds.
Police have arrested Joel Lemasters, 26, after they say he threw a peach pie at a woman who refused to give him a cigarette.
According to reports, Lemasters approached the woman at around 8 a.m. and asked to bum a smoke. When she refused, Lemasters got angry and threw a peach pie at her car window and began kicking her vehicle.
"He got really mad and started yelling," Sgt. Dan Kraus, Clackamas County Sheriff's Office spokesman said. "Then he wound up and threw a pie at her."
Police arrived at the scene and found Lemasters trying to assault he woman again. A deputy was able to intervene and throw Lemasters to the ground. He was taken into custody and has been charged with suspicion of harassment, criminal mischief and violating parole from a previous conviction.
Lemasters, who has no permanent address, is currently residing in Clackamas County Jail.…
Child-molestation Victim To Register As Sex Offender After Having Baby With Mentally Disabled Brother
January 6, 2015 at 1:01 pm by MorbidPORTLAND, OR – A 25-year-old child molestation victim has been ordered to register as a sex offender after admitting to having a baby with her mentally disabled, teenage brother.
The woman pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree sexual abuse as part of a plea deal that would have her avoiding prison time. The judge took into account the fact that the woman is a sexual assault victim herself.
From the ages of 8 to 11, the woman was raped by her mother's boyfriend. That man is currently serving a 20 year prison sentence.
After her arrest last August, the woman would admit that she had sex with her developmentally disabled brother 10 times between 2013 and 2014 while he was living with her. Even worse, she would go on to give birth to his baby.
He was under 18 at the time and has an IQ of 54, according to a probable cause affidavit. He is currently living with his mother, but there is no word on who currently has custody of the baby.…
Jillian McCabe Killed Autistic Six-Year-Old Son By Throwing Him Off Bridge
November 4, 2014 at 2:56 pm by MorbidSEAL ROCK, OREGON – A woman who routinely blogged about her struggles caring for her autistic son has been charged with murder after she found a way to end her frustrations by chucking his ass off a bridge.
Police say 34-year-old Jillian McCabe threw her 6-year-old son, London, off the Yaquina Bay Bridge and then called Newport Police Department to tell them what she'd done. Police would find McCabe near the bridge and interview her before London's body was spotted in the water by someone from a restaurant nearby.
McCabe was arrested and charged with aggravated murder, murder and first-degree manslaughter. Her bail has been set at $750,000.
Family members say McCabe has been dealing with several setbacks recently, aside from raising her non-verbal and autistic son. Her husband was diagnosed with MS and a mass in his brain stem, as well as the death of her father.
Despite all of this, no one thought she would ever kill her son.
"Jillian was always so patient with him, and loving.…
Two Teens Sentenced To Prison For Carving Swastika Into Teen's Forehead
July 28, 2014 at 11:49 am by MorbidPORTLAND, OR- Two of the four teens we reported on earlier this year have been sentenced to prison after beating a 16-year-old boy and carving a swastika into his face.
Back in February, 15-year-old Jenna Montgomery lured Dustyn Murrain into a shed during a snowstorm. Waiting inside the shed where Blue Kalmbach, 15; Jess Taylor, 17; and Shane Connell, 14.
According to the initial reports, the three teens struck Murrain in the head with a crowbar, shot him in the chest, groin and index finger with a bb gun, forced him to swallow a cat turd, and then carved a swastika into his forehead. All four teens were quickly arrested after Murrain ran from the shed and called for help from a nearby service station.
Montgomery, Kalmbach, Taylor, and 14-year-old Shane Connell were arrested and charged with second-degree assault, first-degree kidnapping, criminal conspiracy to commit first-degree kidnapping and first-degree robbery.
The teens told police the motive was retaliation for Murrain's bullying, but this was later called into question after several comments on news articles stated Murrain hadn't lived in the area long and considered the teens his friends.…
Portland, OR — A registered sex offender was taken into police custody last week after allegedly sexually assaulting his grandmother and his uncle.
The investigation started Tuesday evening, after officers were called to a North Portland home on a report of a sexual assault.
Police learned that the alleged rapist, later identified as 34-year-old Willie Johnson, sexually assaulted his 82-year-old grandmother and his 49-year-old uncle, before fleeing the home.
Johnson managed to evade police and a K9 unit for a few hours, but was picked up at a McDonald's Wednesday morning.
After an overnight stay at the hospital for some bullshit medical drama, Johnson was booked into the Multnomah County Jail. He is now facing charges of first-degree attempted rape, first-degree unlawful sexual penetration, two counts of first-degree sex abuse, first-degree kidnapping and fourth-degree assault. His sex offender status apparently stems from a first-degree rape conviction.
Grandma was treated at the hospital and released, and both she and the uncle are said to be doing fine. Physically, anyway.…
Portland, OR — An evil feline with a history of violence now stands accused of attacking a 7-month-old child and forcing the child's entire family, including their pussy dog, to hole up in a bedroom and call 911.
Lux, apparently unsatisfied with slowly sucking the child's breath out of his body, reportedly attacked the child Sunday, scratching the kid on the face. This led to the child's father putting a boot up the 22 pound pussy's ass. Needless to say, that ass tap didn't go over well.
The Himalayan flew into a rage, eventually chasing the family into a bedroom.
The cat's owner informed the 911 dispatcher the cat "went over the edge," and was charging at them every time they opened the door. The man also claimed the cat had a history of being an asshole — he was just a little more assholish on that particular day.
"He's trying to attack us," the man said as the cat screeched and hissed in the background. "He's very, very, very, very hostile."
After it was determined the child didn't require medical assistance, the dispatcher dispatched officers to the couple's home.…
Teens Accused Of Torturing Classmate, Carving Swastika In His Forehead
February 17, 2014 at 11:25 am by MorbidPORTLAND, OR – Four teens are looking at some serious charges after being accused of kidnapping and torturing one of their classmates.
Police say during a snowstorm on February 10, Jenna Montgomery, 15, lured 16-year-old Dustin Murrain into a shed behind a house. Murrain told police he had met Montgomery earlier that day at David Douglas High School, where they both attended school.
According to Murrain's account, once he walked into the shed he encountered three teen boys and realized he had fallen for one of the oldest tricks in the book.
First he was struck in the head with a crowbar before being ordered to take off his shirt. Then 15-year-old Blue Kalmbach allegedly shot Murrain in the chest, groin and index finger with a BB gun. Kalmbach then carved a swastika into Murrain's forehead with a box-cutter and forced Murrain to eat cat shit.
After having his iPod stolen, Murrain escaped the shed and fled to a nearby auto service shop for help. Police were called and Murrain was taken to OHSU Hospital for treatment.…
Home Invader Knocked Out After He's Tossed Down Flight Of Stairs
January 8, 2014 at 8:58 am by MorbidPORTLAND, OR – A man armed with a shotgun got a bit more than he bargained for after he broke into an apartment during an attempt to rob the people inside.
After 38-year-old Joshua McCoy successfully broke down the front door of the residence, while wielding a pistol-grip shotgun , he demanded money from the residents.
But a quick thinking 20-year-old foiled McCoy's robbery attempt after he grabbed the shotgun from McCoy and then pushed his ass down a flight of stairs. McCoy ended up hitting his head on the way down and was knocked unconscious.
The 20-year-old and his mother's boyfriend called police and stood watch over McCoy until law enforcement arrived and took McCoy into custody. After a quick trip to the hospital, McCoy was taken to jail and charged with first-degree robbery, second-degree robbery and first-degree burglary.…
Seaside, OR — A couple of morons are facing charges after they allegedly tipped a waitress with an envelope filled with meth last week.
Ryan Bensen, 40, and Erica Manley, 37, were getting their drink on at the Twisted Fish in Seaside late Friday evening, and when it came time to make good on their bill, they apparently showed their waitress their appreciation by slipping her some go fast with the cash.
We seriously need an "Are you fucking stupid" tag here at the Demon.
After getting a good look at her "tip," the waitress called police. Though the envelope has been sent to the lab to be analyzed, the responding officer pretty much knew what it was on sight. It's Oregon, after all…
Benson and Manley were taken into custody at the scene. A quick search revealed more meth in Manley's purse. After procuring a warrant to search the couple's car, even more meth was discovered. And a search of the couple's motel room revealed meth and the tools necessary to produce more meth.…
Corvallis, OR — The not-so-hot mess to the left is 24-year-old Dawn Lohmann — she was arrested on numerous charges after allegedly going all neanderthal and beating the crap out of a disabled vehicle on I-5 Sunday, as the driver and passenger watched in horror.
The vehicle's passengers, a 53 and 61-year-old woman, were out doing whatever it is women that age do on a Sunday morning, when their car ran out of gas on the highway. As the two woman dialed for help, Lohmann, barefoot, approached the car.
The two women wisely rolled up the windows and locked the doors. In response, Lohmann reportedly dropped her pants, exposing her lady bits to the women. And then it got weird…..
After dropping trou, Lohmann, barefoot and presumably pantless(?), took off across the highway.
She reappeared just moments later and jumped on the hood of the car. She then began jumping up and down, the women later told police. No word on whether any grunting, growling was involved. Also unknown, whether the words HULK or SMASH was used at any point.…
Romanian Princess Accused Of Running Illegal Cockfighting Ring In Oregon
August 16, 2013 at 10:39 am by Agony In BlackGRANTS PASS, OR – Federal law enforcement agents swooped in and busted a group of Oregonians Thursday, including a Romanian princess and her husband, for allegedly running a cockfighting ring. It isn't every day you get to write up a story about a Romanian Princess and cockfighting unless you're in porn, let me tell you.
Indictments unsealed in U.S. District Court in Portland charge Irina Walker, 60, and her husband, John Wesley Walker, 67, a former sheriff's deputy, with hosting cockfights and illegal gambling at their ranch just outside Irrigon, in Morrow County. Prosecutors are seeking forfeiture of the couples' ranch, which does business under the name Stokes Landing Sport Horses. Guess they got away with it for so long by not using the name Stokes Landing Sport Cocks.
The Walkers were scheduled to be arraigned in federal court in Portland Friday on charges of operating an illegal gambling business, along with four other people from Irrigon and Hermiston. According to court records, no lawyer was listed for either the Walkers or any of the other defendants. …
Woman, 35, Accused Of Having Sexual Relationship With 11-Year-Old Boy
August 13, 2013 at 12:55 pm by MorbidSALEM, OR – The Marion County Sheriff's Office have charged 35-year-old Sarah Beth Hopkins with multiple counts of sex abuse and rape after they say she was having a sexual relationship with an 11-year-old boy.
She got busted after the boy's mother became suspicious of her one-time neighbor's close relationship with her son and confronted him about it. The boy 'fessed up and told his mom that he'd been cleaning Hopkins' mud flaps for the last eight months.
The boy's mother confronted Hopkins with what her son had told her and Hopkins admitted that it was true. She said she'd been having sex with the boy since February; playing find-the-wet-spot with him in her apartment and in public places when they went on walks together.
When police interviewed Hopkins, she told them she never forced the boy for sex or gave him anything in return. Hopkins was arrested and charged with 20 counts of rape and sodomy. Her bail has been set at $1 million and she'll be back in Aug.…
Oregon Woman Wanted For Fatal DUI Crash Found In Canada 16 Years Later After Bragging In Bar
July 22, 2013 at 12:13 pm by MorbidLINN COUNTY, OR – A woman wanted for a DUI related death in 1997 was found in Canada after she bragged about getting away with murder inside a bar.
Police said in 1997, a then 38-year-old Jean Keating was driving drunk when she sideswiped a car driven by 65-year-old Jewel Anderson, causing her cross the center median and collide with another vehicle. Anderson was pronounced dead at the scene. Keating, as is usually the case with drunks, was not hurt.
Keating was charged with manslaughter, DUII, reckless driving and recklessly endangering another person. But while awaiting trial in March 1998, Keating's attorney informed authorities he was concerned his client had "flown the coop.". The Linn County Circuit Court issued a bench warrant for Keating's arrest and she hasn't been heard from since. Well, until now.
In early 2013 a police officer in Manitoba, Canada had followed up on a tip about a woman telling people in a bar how she had gotten away with the deadly crash in the United States.…
EAGLE POINT, OR – This happened earlier this month, but someone sent it to us and I couldn't pass it up. Leland Kinkey has been accused of trying to rape his wife twice before killing a lamb with his bare hands.
Jackson County Sheriff deputies responding to a physical domestic dispute call arrived at a home to find 46-year-old Leland Kinkey running around his property naked and screaming. Kinkey allegedly told the deputies that he had killed a lamb by slamming it into a car, breaking its neck, because "he was trying to be a man."
After detaining Kinkey, they got more details from witnesses at the scene. Deputies learned Kinkey had gotten angry an hour earlier earlier because of mechanical issues with a vehicle. Enraged, he went inside the home and tried to rape his wife. She was able to run out of the home, along with her two children, and jump into a van.
While trying to leave the property, Kinkey dragged her out of the van by her hair and began beating her.…
Andrew Barnett Gets 5 More Years For Mailing Phony Anthrax, Throwing Poop
May 22, 2013 at 9:24 am by KnoxxxiousSalem, OR – Andrew Barnett, 32, received an extra five years in prison for a string of evil shenanigans he's perpetrated from behind bars.
U.S. District Judge Marco A. Hernandez, who sent Barnett back to the Oregon State Penitentiary with the extra time, feels Barnett "…has significant personality issues that remain unresolved." Assistant U.S. Attorney John N. Parmley, a prosecutor called in from San Diego after the previous prosecutor fell victim to Barnett's mischief, said of Barnett "The longer he stays in a controlled environment, the safer society will be."
So what kind of douche-devilry draws such dire damnation? What manner of malevolence manifests such maligning? Threatening letters, anthrax hoaxes and poop… not necessarily in that order. Oh, and there's even a torrid love affair with a not-really-hot-white-supremacist-spree-killer in there for you women folk.
Barnett's streak starts back in 2008. Barnett, already in jail, mailed threatening letters to Washington County Sheriff Rob Gordon and three of his deputies. In August 2011, Barnett was moved to Portland's Justice Center Jail, where he allegedly hurled a mixture of urine and feces at the face of Multnomah County Sheriff's Deputy Brett S.…
Jared Walter (aka The TriMet Barber) Back In Jail, This Time For Splooging In A Woman's Hair
May 15, 2013 at 2:43 pm by MorbidMilwaukie, OR – Who says you can't teach an old perv new tricks? Jared Walter, also known as the TriMet Barber, has found himself back in jail after being caught jacking off into a woman's hair.
TriMet transit police arrested the 26-year-old Monday afternoon as he waited for a bus in downtown Portland. Earlier that day, a woman reported that Walter had shot his wad into a woman hair while inside a TriMet bus. Video from a surveillance camera inside the bus even caught him in the act.
Police believe Walter has done the same thing to at least two other women in the same way in the last three weeks. "At the time of those first two reports, the victims were unsure as to what had transpired, and the seriousness of the offense was not understood," Sgt. Pete Simpson said in a news release.
Jared Walter was charged with third-degree sexual abuse, public indecency, harassment and interfering with public transportation. He is being held on $22,000 bail, but still faces an accusation of violating post-prison supervision in Clackamas County.…
Clackamas, OR – Hugo Avalos-Chanon died a horrible death other day after the 41-=year-old cleaning contractor fell into a mechanical blender at a meat-processing plant.
Avalos-Chanon worked for DCS Sanitation Management Inc., which performs daily cleaning of equipment at Interstate Meat Distributors. Shortly before midnight Friday, emergency crews were called to the plant after Avalos-Chanon was found entangled in a mechanical blender that regulates the fat content of ground meat.
Another worker hit the emergency stop button, but it was way too late for Avalos Chanon. The poor guy was pronounced dead at the scene, but his body could not be removed from the machine until it was dismantled the following day.
Dr. Cliff Young, a deputy state medical examiner, said Avalos-Chanon died from "blunt-force injuries and chopping wounds."
Interstate Meat was cited in October after inspectors found machinery in the meat-grounding room were not properly locked down during cleaning, and could result in "unexpected start-up of the machine." But OSHA says it's too early to tell if that's connected to Avalos-Chanon's death.…
Shayla Shonneker, 9, Died After Joseph Wolters Shot Her In Head While Practicing With Gun
April 16, 2013 at 9:34 am by MorbidOREGON CITY, OR – Shayla Shonneker died after her mother's live-in boyfriend, 32-year-old Joseph Wolters, accidentally shot her has he practiced holstering his loaded gun.
Oregon City police say 9-year-old Shayla Shonneker was playing in her backyard while Wolters was inside the home practicing with his firearm, having recently been hired as an armed security guard with an armored transport company.
As Wolters was holstering and un-holstering his loaded gun, it went off. Out of all the paths this bullet could have traversed, this one traveled through a wall of the home, and into Shonneker's face 50 yards away.
A LifeFlight helicopter rushed Shonneker to Oregon Health & Science University Hospital, where she died. Wolters, a decorated Iraq War veteran, cooperated with police during an interview with detectives. No word on if he will be facing criminal charges.
Gladstone School District Superintendent Bob Stewart said the district has activated its crisis-response team and has established a safe room for both adults and students at John Wetten Elementary School, where Shayla had been a student since kindergarten.…

I like to use pink shrub roses, daylilies, lavender, pink carnations, and Shasta daisies for color. I also use Inkberry, Holly, and Cherry Laurel for evergreens to "multi-season" the plantings. That works well in my area and with the summer coastal clientel that I am often working for. That is not to say that it is the best way or the only way. |

Back when I lived where deer wouldn't eat my hydrangea, I used heuchera, hosta and astilbe. I'm assuming this is a part-shade to shady site, not sunny. For evergreen shrubs in the mix, I used Pieris Japonica (deer don't bother those around here). If you want winter fragrance, Winter Daphne is evergreen. Some folks have trouble getting it to survive, but the trick is to plant daphne high and dry on a small mound while the other shade plants that I've mentioned like more moisture. |

What kind of Hydrangea - one of the Endless Summer types or the old fashioned white mopheads? Well, there are always azaleas - so beautiful in Maryland - overdone, perhaps, but a great plant nonetheless. In blues/purples there are the nepetas, Veronicas, salvias, Russian Sages, shades of pink dianthus with grey foliage (Fire Witch and many more), sedums with lavender/green foliage and dusty rose flower heads, old fashioned huecheras when they were just called Coral Bells - some of the new varieties don't do well in my zone, but the old ones are real troopers as a border plant. Don't know if the ubiquitous potentilla has fallen out of favor as a flowering shrub, but "Pink Beauty" was a good performer for me - true pink when the temps hovered around our normal summer highs of about 80, a little creamier in higher temps. Also seems to be available in pure white, yellow, and a red. Window boxes are nice with a mix for height and something cascading. Is this a duplex? Only reason I'm asking is if there'd be a balance issue of right side to left side. |
Thank you all for your suggestions and help. I should have added more information. It is 1/2 of a duplex. It is full sun. I was considering the endless summer hydrangea. Some sources indicate that they will be OK in full sun and others seem to suggest that they need shade. I have a tree (15' dogwood)approximately 8-10 feet away from where I would place my hydrangea)in the front yard, but I'm not sure if it would provide much shade. Is there anything with similar features (LOTS of flowers, visual interest into the fall, soft look) that might suit this spot better? |
We plant them in everything from full sun to medium shade - zone 6. |

The 'Endless Summer' type of hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) is a plant that is best suited to a part shade location. They can be grown in full sun but will typically experience daily wilting in summer that will unnecessarily stress the plant, especially in areas that have hot summers. Even in the very mild and relatively cool summers of the PNW, shade is a recommended location for these. Hydrangea paniculata or arborescens are more adaptable to a full sun location, but these offer only white flowers. Specific plant selection is often something best left to locals.......issues like climatic suitability, soil conditions and potential invasivenss can come into play that are overlooked or unknown in such a wide forum. A visit to a good local garden center as the season progresses should help you with candidates for this situation, as would a visit to any local public gardens or arboreta. Purple-blue is a hard color to obtain from a flowering shrub and for a full sun location. Rose of Sharon is a possibility, as would be Caryopteris (aka blue mist spirea), but pink (even fuchsia or magenta) is a lot easier. Maybe focus on pink as flower color for the shrubs and accent with perennials or annuals - as suggested above - for the purple-blue color you seek. Hardy geranuims are a good source for this - very easy to grow, adaptable to a very wide range of growing conditions and and with a very long bloom season. Look for 'Rozanne', the 2008 Perenial Plant of the Year, and for good reason. If you include roses in your choices for pink/magenta flowers, hardy geraniums are one of the best companion plants. |
Without reading all of above (and checking to see if I'm repeating someone else's remarks) I'll say the two basic needs will be for plants that flower at the same time as the hydrangea and for plants that provide structure. A good way to get the latter would be to have some evergreens (preferably broad-leaved) grouped near the corner of the house, with the hydrangea and friends between the corner and the door. It would also be worthwhile to plan it so that the floral display built around the hydrangea breaks down into an even split between round flowers and those with a spike shape. As this is a small space and many hydrangeas grow fairly large (a small-growing cultivar should be chosen, if available in the desired color - even one specimen of a kind of mophead hydrangea of normal stature will overwhelm this area in time - visually if not physically) it may be necessary for most or even all of the accompanying flowers to be spike-shaped in order to have a pleasant balance. |
Hydrangea macrophylla hortensis compacta has a nice deep blue-purple color, but might be difficult to get. |
From the "Encyclopedia of Hydrangeas," (Van Gelderen -2004), "An invalid name used for more than one clone, such as 'Glowing Embers', 'Parzifal', 'Monink', and the trademark PINK AND PRETTY. The word compacta must not be used for names after 1959 |
Here is a link that might be useful: PlantFiles: Detailed information on Bigleaf Hydrangea, French Hydrangea, Mophead Hydrangea macrophylla 'Compacta'
Deciduous shrubs generally make poor foundation plants in my opinion and I love Hydrangeas. Here's one in my garden called 'Weiderspink'. |

In zone 7, you will need to plant Hydrangea macrophylla in at least part sun/part shade. Hydrangea quercifolia (which is a fantastic shrub and less susceptible to late Spring freezes taking out the summer's bloom) can take much more sun (6 hours at least), but it still likes to be shielded from direct harsh afternoon sun. Some substitution suggestions: - Clethra (white/pink fragrant flowers in Spring, foliage colors in Fall) |
I continue to wonder about the repeated endorsements of Loropetalum from/for USDA 7 as this is not hardy in England* or here in our similarly cool part of USDA 8. Presumably the hot southeastern summers harden it off better than in our cool climate(s). Or is it just another case of something being pronounced a good bet because it survives for 5 or 10 years? *Of course in the mildest areas on the coast it probably is, a few places in UK are as high as USDA 11 |
Wow! Your responses have been amazing. Very educational and helpful. Here's the part where you're going to kick me...The ENTIRE rest of our property is varying degrees of part-full shade. I've decided that, in the interest of not killing a plant, probably after fussing incessantly with if for a year or two, I'll just line my driveway with hydrangeas and talk to a local nursery about something better for the front yard. It shouldn't be too as I'm pretty easy to please. Thank you again to everyone who gave such great advice. |

JessK: If you line your driveway with hydrangeas, please research their pruning requirements before you do. H. arborescens is typically pruned to the ground each Spring (alot of maintenance if you have alot of these plants to tend) and H. macrophylla often gets this treatment too if late Spring freezes zap the emerging buds (which occurs every few years or so). H. quercifolia does not typically need any pruning. Bboy: Loropetalums have survived 15 years in my hot southeastern garden and are still going strong. I seem to remember Tony Avent of Plant Delights talking about this phenomenon of some plants not being hardy in the Pacific NW, but being completely hardy here. If I remember correctly, the hot summer helps the plant store up sugars (?) that allow the plant to withstand the harsher winters here. |

WoW Moviewatch: Snacky's Journal, Episode 4
The Grand Prize winner for last year's Machinima contest, and also the winner in the Drama/Romance category was Snacky's Journal, Episode 4. I can definitely see why it won. It has a great story, voice acting, editing -- it's just an all around, well done piece of movie fun.
You see, Snacky is coerced (bribed) to go on a blind double date with his friend, only to find out that things are far more complicated... and profitable. I love the settings in Gadgetzan and the Darkmoon Faire, which are particularly appropriate considering the date is crossfaction. There is also an explanation in there as to why Murlocs have cash on them (though where the money is kept is still a mystery).
I hope you enjoy it as much as The Spawn and I did. She's insisting on a replay. AFK.

Twenty-three Manatee County Public Schools seniors and 35 juniors will receive special recognition at the 23rd Annual Migrant Education Awards Ceremony at 7 p.m., tonight, at the Bradenton Municipal Auditorium, 1005 Barcarrota Blvd.
Always one of the most memorable events on the school calendar, the Migrant Education Awards Ceremony honors the students, and families of those students, who have participated in the district's English for Speakers of Other Languages and migrant academic programs. The guest speaker at this year's event will be Dr. Rubylinda Zickafoose, a former migrant student and current curriculum specialist for the district.
"This is a chance for us to recognize the extra efforts these students have had to make to earn their education," said Kate Hoffman, coordinator of ESOL, Migrant and Immigrant Academic Services. "It's also an opportunity to encourage the younger students to continue their educations."

Sign the Petition to Extend Unemployment Insurance
Every second, more than one person loses his or her emergency unemployment benefits. This didn't have to happen, but deficit hypocrites in the U.S. Senate who are fighting for $700 billion in tax cuts for millionaires think maintaining emergency unemployment is "too expensive." Because of their delays, 2 million job seekers are expected to lose emergency benefits by the end of the year.
Please add your name to our petition to Congress. It says:
"Letting emergency unemployment benefits expire will hurt our fragile economy just as we're struggling to recover. With five job hunters for every one opening, long-term unemployed workers need uninterrupted help to keep food on the table. I urge you to renew the federal unemployment insurance programs immediately!"

TUCSON - Rev. Gerald F. Kicanas, Tucson's Catholic bishop, is inviting the Catholic community of Tucson to gather on Tuesday at St. Odeilia Parish for a "Mass for the Healing of Our Community, Remembrance of Those Who Have Died, and for the Consolation of All Victims and Their Families."
Christina Taylor Green's family attends St. Odilia Parish, blocks away from the site of Saturday's shootings. She made her First Communion there last spring.
Judge John Roll, also Catholic, attended the nearby St. Thomas the Apostle Parish, where he served as lector, reading from the Scripture regularly during mass.
Kicanas' special mass will be held January 11 at 7 p.m., at St. Odilia Church, 7570 N. Paseo del Norte.

Managing databases on KDE
Knoda is a user-friendly KDE program that makes database management an intuitive experience. In Part 2 of our workshop, we investigate how to create forms and print reports with Knoda.
Last month you learned how to formulate queries for multiple tables in Knoda. This month, you'll discover how to create tables, forms, and reports. The workshop assumes you will be working with the Sqlite2 driver, although you should be able to follow the examples with any other database. For example, Box 1 shows you how to configure Knoda to interface with MySQL. Users with Suse Linux 9.1 may need to do some repair work. If you updated KDE to 3.3.2, YaST may have installed some older Knoda packages. In this case, you will need to reinstall Knoda.

Anglers metal dock
Anglers dock has 14 stalls, a bait store, ice machine, gasoline sales, motor repair, and a boat lift rack. You can fish off the dock for trout, largemouth, and smallmouth bass. About 150 feet from our dock is an asphalt public boat launch if you wish to bring your own river boat.
Bass In The River? True, it is odd for both largemouth and smallmouth bass to inhabit the cold waters of the White River. However, our dock sits on the confluence of the White River and Sylamore Creek which is a warm water fishery. Several other warm creeks drain into the White from the nearby hills of the Ozark National Forest. There are several pockets in the White where the water stays warm enough to hold both largemouth and smallmouth bass. And yes, they are nice-sized fish!
Our 22' John boats are rigged with newer 15hp Mercury motors. This is our private river gravel bar landing for both fishing boats, our canoes, and rafts.
There are many good places to fly fish in our stretch of the river

Jane, you really went all out this year and everything is so pretty. You got some great deals this year. All your added touches are perfect. The dining table arrangement is so awesome. Wish I had more time and all this would be enought to make me want to finish what I've started around here.LOL Heck I can't even find time to post what I have gotten done and I'm not sick. Hope your checkup went well and you continue to feel better all the time. Punk |

Jsne, everything is so lovely. The only way you could torture us with pictures is to stop posting them! We'd have to hunt you down if you tried that tho. Your vignettes, and your photography, always bring me such joy to see. I love your little pheasant. I've never seen one like that. I hope you got a good report from the Doc and are doing better each day. hugs, Karen |

Oooooooh, Ahhhhhh, I just hate being tortured like this. Silly girl. Those giant cups have really make an impact on me, I'll be keeping my eye out for them. Your pheasant is darling and the pitcher arrangement is stunning. My favorite is the black buffet, those plates and white pumpkins are making me pea green with envy. I hope your feeling up to snuff real soon. Frou |

Please don't stop! I love seeing all your pretty pictures, you have such a good eye for doing classy vignettes. I love all your pedestal stands and the cloches, I especially love the one that is sort of squared, hadn't seen one like it before. Pitchers are another favorite of mine, always think they look so nice with flowers in them, your white one on the table is nice. Thanks for sharing your Fall decor with us. I too hope you are feeling better and able to enjoy the season. Luvs |

Jane, What a lovely home you have! I so enjoy all your postings, as it gives me a chance to see more parts of your house - a house I know I'd be comfortable in from the moment I set foot in it. I like the pewter stemmed cake plate that you made with stickem. And, of course, I'm crazy about the dining room hutch that looks like you special ordered it (well, in a way, I guess you did - you just ordered it from your husband!). All the arrangements that adorn your nooks and crannies make it really feel like fall has arrived. |
- Posted by christmascandy (My Page) on Fri, Oct 8, 10 at 12:25
OOOH, AAAH. Oh please, torture?? You silly,! Haven't you learned by now that the enablers on here can't get enough?? Everything is just wonderful and so well displayed. I am having black hutch envy, but literally don't have a spare inch of wall to place one, : (. Well done. |
- Posted by valleymagpie (My Page) on Fri, Oct 8, 10 at 19:21
Jane, What can I say? Everything is gorgeous. I have been jealous of that black hutch since you bought it and who would have thought it would show off your autumn dishware so beautifully? I have a small spot between the kitchen and pantry for a hutch like that and I'm going to do it! I like the acorns in your leaf bowl and all the arrangements in your pitchers. You are really talented! - Magpie |

Ahhh, gee, Jane...I'm speechless! Ditto to everything said above...but that display in your black hutch...ohhhh, priceless! And so wonderful that the contents have been accumulated from family, friends & shopping...(my 3 favorite things!) Everything is GORGEOUS & I see you used no linens...just the beautiful wood for the vignettes. TFS! Jeanne S. |
- Posted by janet1_2007 (My Page) on Fri, Oct 8, 10 at 20:49
Jane. all I can say is Whow! You have been one busy lady. I ditto all everyone else has said. You really have the knack for making things look fantastic. I am so envious. Hope you get to feeling better so you can enjoy everything you have done. I love your dishes in the black hutch. I have an old hutch I bought from one of my neighbors that was moving, (for $20) twenty yrs ago. looks simular, except the bottom of mine doesn't have doors, just open shelves. DH could add doors, I"m sure, butt I can't figure out where I couold put it. I"ll have to do some thinking on that one, for sure. I would love to find some Johnson Bro. china in the Friendly Village pattern and also the Gobbler. You do have a beautiful home and have done such a good job decorating it. Don't every worry about posting too many pics. We love them!!!! Janet |

Thanks everyone.. I'll make this a quick reply, and once again.. The Dr report today, came back good..The infection has cleared from my kidneys and I'm AOK just have to pace myself. (what's that) Thanks for all who asked and for all your good wishes. Punk..glad you liked looking at everything...take care of yourself too. Karen...Ty - I agree, the Bird cup is my favorite too. Frou..check Marshalls... the cups were on clearance a couple of wks ago. Luvs the 'squared' cloche..is actually round, with a 'flat' top to it..which I think makes it look different. OA..that's a great compliment 'comfortable' I'd rather have that than 'fancy' any day! TY Candy..awww I'm sure you can squeeze 1 more in! lol Magpie...Your compliments are so sweet. On getting a hutch for that spot...go for it and then 'Show Pictures'.. I really hope you do. jeanne...another thing we have in common your '3 favorite things' !! lol TY janet1...such warm compliments...ty. I'm sure DH could add those doors as you say. That bottom portion is very deceiving, and holds many dishes. As far as the dishes...I've seen the Friendly Vlg at HGs. They usually put them out at this time of yr. I was able to get mine from Ebay last summer, when it's a slow time on there and the prices seem better. Thanks again everyone.. jane |
