Gary Lee Davis: Colorado's last volunteer for the death penalty
This week's feature, "The Happiest Man on Death Row," delves into Colorado's execution of Joe Arridy, a man with an IQ of 46, for a murder he almost certainly didn't commit. It happened in the 1930s, when the state's gas chamber was kept busy with a string of customers. But times are different now, and executions are a lot harder to come by in these parts. Big photo below.
Even though prosecutors are expected to seek the death penalty for accused Aurora theater shooter James Holmes, Colorado has only managed one execution in more than forty years -- and the subject, Gary Lee Davis, practically volunteered for the job.
What's changed since the days of Joe Arridy that's made it so difficult for the state to execute those convicted of capital crimes? Part of the answer has to do with a series of U.S. Supreme Court decisions dating back to the early 1970s, which have redefined the notion of "cruel and unusual punishment" and greatly expanded the appeals process for condemned men and women nationwide.
But other states (notably Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and some other purveyors of southern justice) still have a functional death machine, while Colorado has gone a different direction. One reason for that is its juries; folks might talk about being in favor of lethal injection at a cocktail party, but prosecutors know those same people somehow freeze up in the jury box when asked to dispense the ultimate penalty. In the 1990s, the state tried to take the decision out of the hands of juries and leave it up to a three-judge panel, but that scheme was ultimately declared unconstitutional.
Another factor is Colorado's public defender system -- particularly its appellate division. It's considered the gold standard among such systems across the country, relentless and well-financed and good at battling death-penalty cases, to the point that Arapahoe County District Attorney Carol Chambers has complained the defense bar in Colorado makes the death penalty "many times more expensive than it needs to be." Two angles on Gary Lee Davis.
With the deck stacked against actual executions being carried out without years of delay and millions in legal costs, it's no wonder that no less an authority than Sister Helen Prejean describes Colorado as "not a serious killing state." The only killing the state has managed in the past four decades is what Prejean calls the "consensual execution" of Gary Davis in 1997.

AutoTrader.com Helps Car Shoppers Go Green
ATLANTA, April 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Earth Day is a time when people examine the choices they make in their day-to-day lives and consider things they can do to conserve resources. For many car shoppers, this means adding environmentally-friendly vehicles to their lists.
When asked to rank features that were important to them in their next vehicle, shoppers in an AutoTrader.com survey picked fuel efficiency as most important above body style, comfort/seating, convenience features and design. Shoppers considering a fuel efficient vehicle said saving money and helping the environment were the top two reasons why.
For those ready to make the switch to a more environmentally-friendly vehicle, AutoTrader.com editors say there's never been a better time.
"In the past, consumers had limited choices if they wanted a more fuel-efficient vehicle, but that's definitely not the case today," said Brian Moody, AutoTrader.com site editor. "Shoppers now have a wide selection of new and used vehicle options that fit most lifestyles and budgets."
AutoTrader.com editors have created a green car shopping primer that breaks down how electric, clean diesel and hybrid vehicles work, sharing the pros and cons of each technology to help shoppers decide which one could be the right fit for their lifestyle. "For example, if you have a shorter commute, an electric vehicle might be an ideal option. If you love the driving dynamics and power of a traditional engine, a clean diesel would be a smart choice. And there are a lot of great used hybrid vehicles out there for folks who want the efficiency, but maybe don't have the budget for a new car," Moody explained.

Kemar Andre Jamal Roach (born 30 June 1988 in Saint Lucy, Barbados) is a Bajan cricketer. He played in the 2006 U-19 Cricket World Cup in Sri Lanka and has represented the West Indies in Test and One Day International cricket. Roach made his Test debut in 2009 against Bangladesh when the West Indies team was weakened due to a player strike, and impressed with his bowling so that he was given an opportunity to play when the team returned to its full strength. A 5-foot-8-inch (1.73 m) fast bowler, Roach is capable of express speeds and has reached 150 kilometres per hour (93 mph) on a number of occasions. In 2012 he became the first West Indies bowler to take 10 wickets in a Test since 2005.

If your church has plateaued in its growth for a while or shows signs of being unhealthy, things may need to change, and the pastor is the point person to produce positive change in any church's culture.
Having said that, leading a church through change is difficult, and sometimes it can be detrimental if you don't consider some important questions before starting the process.
Three aspects of change you should evaluate before shaking things up are:
A few months after we started New Song Church, I began to pray about how our little church could play a part in Jesus' Acts 1:8 vision for the church. How could a young church like ours play a part in reaching our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the uttermost parts of the world?
Fast-forward 20 years, and God has done exceedingly abundantly above what we could ask or imagine. By His grace, New Song has played a measurable part in planting 163,000 churches around the world. Those 163,000 churches have seen over 7 million come to Christ.
I recently asked myself, "How did this happen?"
A young man in my last church cut off three of his fingers while cutting a piece of paneling in a van customizing shop. As he was being rushed to the hospital, he was asked, "Where are the fingers?" A man rushed back to the shop with a bowl of ice, grabbed the three digits and then rushed them to Birmingham in the ambulance along with the young man.
Nineteen hours of microsurgery reattached those fingers to the young man's hand. Had they been left in the sawdust of that shop, the fingers would have been useless. They were only good to him if they were attached to his body.
It's the same way when it comes to our attachment to the body of Christ, both globally and locally. We are members of the body—whether a finger, an ear, an eye or a spleen—and we need the rest of the body in order to live. We cannot make it on our own.
Recently, I had the opportunity to talk with a denominational leader in a different part of the country.
Over the last few years, he's personally been involved in consulting engagements with about 60 declining churches within his denomination. That grabbed my attention. Honestly, I don't have a lot of experience working with churches that are in decline.
With that in mind, I was curious to learn if there were any common themes. Within moments, he rattled off these five attributes of churches he's worked with that are in decline:
"Since everything around us is going to melt away, what holy, godly lives you should be living!" (2 Peter 3:11 LB)
Your commitments can develop you, or they can destroy you, but either way, they will define you. Tell me what you're committed to, and I'll tell you what you'll be in 20 years.
It is at this very point of commitment that most people miss God's purpose for their lives. Many are afraid to commit to anything, so they just drift through life. Others make half-hearted commitments to competing values, and that leads to frustration and mediocrity. Others make a full commitment to worldly goals, such as becoming wealthy or famous, and they end up disappointed and bitter.
Ever heard of David Hogg? He taught Sunday school in Blantyre, Scotland, in the early 1800s. In the small church where he taught boys year after year, Hogg certainly had opportunities to question his significance. But his faithfulness and the Word of God ignited a love for the people of Africa in one of his students David Livingstone, who became arguably the greatest missionary to Africa in the 19th century, opening that continent to the gospel.
In the small church or those of us who are pastors of smaller churches, it can be easy to question the significance and impact we are having in our churches and communities compared with larger or more publicly recognized churches. Yet according to the Hartford Religious Institute, 61 percent of all Protestants attend churches with 499 or fewer weekly worshipers. That means the majority of Christians in America are being discipled and cared for in much-needed smaller and midsize churches, led by regular guys like us.

Is ADHD a disorder, emotional, chemical, physical or sometimes: an excuse?
Recent studies on Attention Deficit Hyper-activity Disorder are raising questions and eyebrows in education, science and family life.
Some researchers say it's nothing more than a misdiagnosis of children starting school at too young an age.
Others say more often; discipline is needed more than drugs.
East Texans talk-back on the ADHD issue with our news partner: KTBB and host Garth Maier.

Fisher Cats fall at Akron in 12
New Hampshire began a six-game road trip last night and fell to 28-31 on the season.
Twice in the inning with the bases loaded, Wright got a ground ball force-out at home. But Aguilar found a hole with his grounder to right field, scoring Jose Ramirez from third with the winning run.
New Hampshire grabbed a 2-0 lead in the fifth inning when Kevin Nolan doubled to start the frame and jogged home when Adam Loewen launched his sixth season homer over the right field fence. The Aeros got one back in the home fifth when Jake Lowery hit his first homer of the season to right.
New Hampshire plays Akron today and Thursday before opening a three-game series at Erie on Friday.
Tonight at 7:05 p.m. the Fisher Cats send righthander Marcus Walden (4-5, 3.13) against Akron southpaw Matt Packer (2-5, 3.25).
Next week the Fisher Cats begin a six-game homestand on June 11 against Akron and Erie at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

N-now th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
from Kanye West – Stronger Lyrics on Genius
"That which does not kill us makes us stronger." — Friedrich Nietzsche
This means that an event that hurts you emotionally or physically will produce two circumstances:
The first one being the negative effect of the event making the person lose themselves.
The second makes the person aware and lets them rebuild to prevent that thing from happening again.
The second one can also negatively impact the person's life, however, such as if a person who broke up with a significant other set up a wall to never let a person into their life like that again, which will ultimately undermine their future relationships with others, and more importantly, their recovery.
2Pac also employed this theme

Interested in Adopting One of Our Fluffy Dogs?
Is a Rescue Dog for Me?
Rescue seems to be the latest buzzword, and this is good and bad. Is is wonderful that people are becoming aware of the horrible overpopulation of pets in our country, and the lack of support by our government to control it. With that being said, a rescue dog is not for everyone.
Most of our dogs come from kill shelters in Alabama. We do not get any health or temperament background. Many don't even have names. Most are strays, but often times we are not even told if they are strays or owner surrenders. Our dogs are not aggressive, but in most cases they have never lived in a home. They will not be housebroken, know their names or obedience commands. While we do put them in foster homes and some work on this, you will see by their listings that they may have only been with us a few months. This is only enough time to adjust to their new lives here. You should expect to put in the work of housebreaking and training. This is why we require obedience classes. Also, often times we see behavior issues like resource guarding develop. This is not something we will know in the months they are with us. It is not something that one can not work with, but it is work. We are happy that you are looking to save a dog, but please realize you are not getting the perfect dog, and there will be work to do. Is rescue for you?
They are all so cute, how do I choose?
After over 2,500 adoptions and seven years, please let us help you. It is not necessarily the look of the dog, but what is inside. All of the dogs that are in our care do have information in their listings. Many also have blogs with additional photos. This should help, along with a few basics.
We have many Terriers. Terriers were bred to hunt little animals. This means they need a lot of free running time/fenced yard. They will bark. It is their nature. For someone looking for a spark plug in their life, a terrier is the perfect dog. A couch potato they are not.
They are the comedians of the dog world with many more quirks and silly, fun to watch habits to watch than other dogs, provided they get the exercise they need. You just can't be in a bad mood when you watch these guys!
* Poodles are typically a much more low key dog. While they are still hunting dogs and need exercise, they do not have the small animal instincts that you will find in a terrier. For the most part, they do like to sit on the couch and hang out.
* Young dogs have a lot of energy no matter what the breed. A young dog is a dog under five years of age. A dog in this category will need to be run a few times a day. Do you have a fenced yard? Do you have a dog park or tennis court nearby? Do you like to run? If not, maybe a young dog is not for you.
* We do get in dogs that are shyer than others. A shy dog is not a good match for a busy household. If you have a lot of activity, you will want a dog that is more outgoing.
* If you are older, you will want to consider how long you will be able to keep a dog. Seniors do better with senior dogs. Many of our dogs have been rehomed because their older owners were not able to care for them anymore or their living situations did not allow it. Please do not ever put a dog in a situation where they may have to be rehomed.
* Puppies are a lot of work. They need someone to care for them throughout the day, not only for potty training, but for good health and socialization.
* Size-This can make a big difference. What size dog fits you, your home and your lifestyle? We have dogs that are 5 lbs, 10 lbs, 15 lbs and 20 lbs. and I will tell you all of these sizes bring different things to your life. A 5 lb. dog is very fragile and can break a limb jumping off the couch. A 10 lb. dog is great for carrying around, but maybe a little small for some people. A 15 lb. dog is about mid-size in the small category. Looking for a little bulkier smaller dog, that would be your 20 lb. dog. From there we have the medium and large dogs. All are great, it just depends what works best for you.
Bottom line: Before you look through the list of wonderfully Fluffy Dogs, make a list of what you are looking for in a dog.
Then read over the listings to find a dog that matches your list. You will then find the right dog for you!
Our Behaviorist has created the following website for people looking for a dog.
Everyone should take the RightDog4U before applying.
Let me try to make some generalizations on the dogs that are in Wisconsin
Dogs not for families with children under thirteen. This is not because they are aggressive, but their size and/or the activity of children is not the best situation for them.

Technical Support Representative Interview
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Cox Communications in November 2014.
This was through a contract employee finding service that first required their own online bevy of questions and info gathering. After the online forms were completed, I was asked to come in for first interview with the contract agency's rep. This went well and was more personality based rather than skills evaluation. I was scheduled then for second interview with Cox HR reps.
Second interview was with 2 cordial but business focused interviewers. They asked scenario questions based on my previous experience. Again, more personality based and decision making skills rather than technical savvy. This interview went well but they had their poker faces on and it was not obvious how they felt about the interview.
A few days later, I received the call from the contract agency asking me if I would accept the position, to which I accepted the position.
I am excited to start because I have always enjoyed providing quality tech support to my neighbors!

Technical Support Representative Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 5 days – interviewed at Cox Communications in July 2014.
Interview DetailsI applied online and was called the next day by a Cox recruiter from Atlanta. She emailed me a link to two assessments: A standard personality test and a call center simulation. There were only about 5 scenarios to complete in 45 min. Multiple choice and you rate each answer from Not Effective to Most Effective. I was called 2 days later on a Saturday by a representative from Futurestep in Baton Rouge to schedule an in-person interview. No phone interview. The interview was scheduled for a couple days later. The dress was business casual. The interviewer was wearing khakis and a polo and had visible tattoos. He was very nice and personable and did his best to make it as painless as possible. We went to an empty conference room and sat across from each other. He informed me it would be in STAR format. After the STAR portion there was a section devoted to technical questions. Next there was a simulated call. He gave me an information packet to study for 10 min. He left and called the phone in the room 10 min later. He asked me how to operate the On-demand system--directions were in the packet. I also had to attempt to sell him DVR over the course of the call--DVR features were also in packet. Interview concluded after that. I was called the same evening by Futurestep and offered the job. They emailed me an acceptance letter with hourly rate and background check/drug testing info.
Interview Questions- How do you deal with starting a new job? Have you ever come up with a new idea that was implemented? What is a DVR? What does URL stand for? DNS? Name some cables you hook up a cable box with. First thing you do when your own internet goes out. What would you do if internet went out while you were working at Cox? What do you think this job entails? What happens if you watch a standard definition movie on an HD set? What format do you watch movies in? Answer Question

Application DetailsI applied online – interviewed at Cox Communications in July 2014.
Interview DetailsFilled out the application in April. Got an email like two weeks later informing me that I would receive a link to schedule a video interview. After a couple of days I realized that I didn't receive anything so I contacted the recruiter who advised me that they're hiring a lot of people so it may take some time. After the second month I decided to give up but I then received a call which was a lady who wanted to do a phone interview. After 2 phone interviews and 2 assessments later I received an email about a week later stating that I had passed the assessments and told me to call recruiter. I called the recruiter did a third interview and also set up another phone interview with someone else the next day. I was told that it would be me and two people interviewing me but it wasnt. It was just a man asking me general interview questions. After that interview he informed me that he would be sending a recommendation to the recruiter. Got a call today with job offer...

Technical Support Representative Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Cox Communications in April 2014.
Interview DetailsI applied online at the end of March 2014. April 2 , 2014 I received an email stating that they wanted me complete an online resume. Then I received a phone call for an over the phone interview on March 7. Next I received an email for me to complete a two part assessment which included four mock call center calls and a personality assessment. Both were fairly easy. After the assessments I received a call on April 10, 2014 from a recruiting coordinator who did an over the phone screening and then he set me up with an in person interview which took place April 11, 2014. They used the STAR format of interviewing and asked about 7-10 different instances of previous work experiences for me to describe using the STAR format. After the interview the two interviewers left the room to discuss if I should move on to the next phase of the interview which is a mock phone call from one of the interviewers. They gave me a script to study for about 10 minutes. I passed the mock phone call and they told that HR would give me a call. HR called on April 14 to offer me the position. I had to complete online pre-employment forms, background check, and schedule the drug test immediately after completing those forms.
Interview Questions- Make sure you prepare for a least 10 different work experiences using the STAR format and things should go smoothly during the in person interview. Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsThere were not any negotiations. She told me what the starting rate was for the position and sent me a formal offer letter.Accepted OfferEasy Interview -

Technical Support Representative Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Cox Communications in March 2014.
Interview DetailsInteresting process. Submitted my resume on their website and received a confirmation email. Received an automated response 14 hrs later to complete an application.
I received an email 9 hours later from a recruiter to continue to their 'Montage' Interview process. This part of the process is awesome and nerving. lol. You log into this 'Montage' system and complete 4 steps: 1) Enter contact info, 2) Upload your resume, cover letter, references and any other pertinent info to present competence for the job applying for. 3) Record an audiovisual Introduction and 4) Record audiovisual responses for selected questions (pre-determined questions). All recordings can be re-recorded using their system or you can upload video files.
I received an email 9 hours later from the recruiter inviting me to the next step: 2 assessments. The first assessment was an online simulation where you answer calls (again, simulated) and select which answers best-to-worst fit each situation. Unless you're slow at reading, take your time. You'll only receive 3-4 calls so you should have plenty of time to do your best! The 2nd online assessment is what I call the 'Integrity' and job skills check. You'll have a LOT of questions to answer and some will resurface as different questions, but with the intent to see if you're a thief, dishonest, lack integrity, etc. Most company theft is internal so don't go into this lightly. Be honest and careful how you read the questions b/c the evaluation is designed to identify dishonesty and then you can kiss your hiring opportunity goodbye!
I received an invite to interview 2 days later from the local Recruiter. Keep your email and phone nearby because they DO respond on weekends (it's a 24/7 call center). I spoke with the recruiter and scheduled the interview. Make SURE you get the exact name of who you're interviewing with.
The on-site interview process took a couple hours. Mine was a 1-person panel. First the Interviewer reviews the job expectations, training schedule to expect and benefits. Next is the STAR formatted interview process (situational questions). Don't know this format? Look it up and be ready. The interviewer asks about 4-5 different questions to assess how you resolve problems while maintaining professionalism and saving/upselling the customer.
The interviewer will ask you to step out of the room for a few minutes. I think if you're asked to come back in…you're moving on to another step in the on-site process. I was asked to come in again. At this time, the Technical Support position was explained then I was asked to state what questions I would ask a customer calling in regarding trouble with a device (i.e. no net signal, tv screen turned off). After that is a Roleplay. The interviewer gives you a packet of information to review for 10 minutes. The interviewer goes to a different room and calls you. You're expected to answer the call as if you're a Cox representative, assist the caller with their questions and try to upsell if the opportunity arises (which it will). At this point, the on-site interview is over and they will contact you within 5-7 business days.
I received a call 2 days later with an informal job offer, but a formal offer would be presented in 48 business hours, pending background/reference/employment/education checks were successful. I received a formal offer in the expected timeframe. You then follow the provided links in the email offer to electronically complete and sign it and other documents. You have 48 hours from that signing to complete the drug testing (only a urinalysis needed).
In summary, it's about a 2 week process with many steps involved, but the pay is decent, benefits start on Day 1 (excluding education – that's 1 year) and with room to grow. Everyone met so far seem sincerely nice and laid back. Good luck!Interview Questions- They were standard situational questions. Even the tech support questions were very basic. No questions about standard TCP/IP protocols, coaxial vs. fiber optic or anything else of that nature. Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsNo negotiation. Its a set base pay.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview -

Technical Support Representative Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Cox Communications in October 2013.
Interview DetailsYou fill out an online application. If you know anyone that works there make sure to include their information because they get $500-700. After the initial app you have a phone interview, an interview at the office. You'll then either get an acceptance or rejection letter. Acceptance letter then leads to another phone interview which involves personality tests. Don't slack on this portion! Just because you have the acceptance letter doesn't mean you have the job. Not going to give you advice on the personality tests. After you pass this next phase of phone interview you take the drug test and sign the final paperwork.
Interview Questions- They use the STAR method of interviews. Make sure to google it. This is really important to getting the jog. Kind of caught me off guard because I hadn't interviewed in so long. Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsNone. Even though the ad says $12-15 they tell you in the first interview that it's $12 or no job.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview -

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 1+ week – interviewed at Cox Communications in May 2013.
Interview DetailsCox Communications was highly professional in how they conducted the whole hiring and interview process. After completing a fairly thorough online application process, I was interviewed by telephone, after which I was interviewed in person by two HR employees. After the two-person interview, I was then required to do an impromptu role playing on the telephone with a technical support supervisor acting as the "caller."
Interview Questions- A series of questions were asked regarding basic technical terminology just to get an idea of what I already knew. For instance questions about coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, the meaning of "url", etc. Answer Question

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at Cox Communications in May 2013.
Interview DetailsThe hiring process starts out online by uploading your resume and then filling out an online application. After a review of the application, you receive a call for a phone interview which lasts about 30 minutes. You are then sent two links, via email, to do a personality review and telemarketing test, which tests your ability to multitask in a computer/phone environment. If you successfully pass everything up to this point, you are then invited to an in-person interview, which is the last step in the hiring process.

What a friendly staff and what a nice hotel.
Vogue Resort is FANTASTIC!!!
We stayed here for 4 days... The location is just a few blocks from the great beach at Ao Nang... The room was large, and quiet. The staff was incredible, and the breakfast was AMAZING everyday!!!
B.F. Salon has the best massage in Ao Nang and happy hour pricing 50% off from 10 am to 2 pm everyday!!!
Great location
If you need a nice affordable 4-star resort without paying an arm & a leg, this isTHE PLACE. it's walking distance to the endless shopping streets, waterfront & best of all: choices of eats. If you are Muslim or vegatarian, you will be happy with this location. The beach is not a far reach either but they have tour packages to bring you to the best beach spots & islands within an hr's boat ride. I bought great deals from the numerous tour operators lined up on the streets, and they're open at night. Rather than hit the zillion massage joints on the streets, try the hotel's own Spa. Its Spa Asst. Manager knows exactly which massage best fit the bill and you will be treated like royalty!
Venture on your own to travel anywhere from Ao Nang by taking the local 'bus', more like a truck that loads people. Just flag them down from anywhere on the roadside. The difference in fare would make you want to thank me. E.g. Ao Nang to Krabi town is THB50, if you call for a taxi from the hotel they'll charge you THB500!
Great base hotel
Was expecting a slightly different setting when we first read the reviews on this hotel stating it was " high on a hillside" it gives the impression of being a bit more secluded. The reception is off a fairly busy street and across from the Coconut Bar and it's live music every night. Depending on your age and room location this maybe an annoyance but we actually enjoyed the bar and being able to sit on the balcony listening to the music. Facilities are all that were required with the swimming pool being good for couple, families etc. Breakfast was very nice. Staff were always friendly and helpful always willing to assist with any query you may have. We went to PhiPhi island for 2 days, couple of boat trips, trekking etc and only actually stayed around the pool for 1 day out of the 10 so can't comment on lunch or dinner as we preferred to try different restaurants around Ao Nang. All in all a very nice hotel with great staff.
Great Break
Great setting and not far away from anything. Lovely rooms with good views. Service excellent. Nice and clean. If you have trouble getting upstairs then I would book a ground/first floor room as there are no lifts and we were on the top (4th floor)

St. Hallett Gamekeeper's Reserve
St. Hallett
- Barossa
- Australia
The Barossa Valley in Australia is home to the country's finest vineyards, and has been the premier wine region of Australia for several decades now. First established by German settlers in the late 19th century, Barossa Valley suffered a drop in reputation in the 1950s and 60s, with most of their produce being used only for blending purposes. Thanks to the vision and ambition of several unique and interesting wineries which decided to make Barossa their home, the reputation of this excellent region was restored over the past four decades due to the excellence of the produce coming out of Barossa, and the efforts made to demonstrate the real qualities of Australia's Shiraz wines. Today, a wide range of grape varietals are grown on the fine soil and in the temperate climate of Barossa, and they are enjoyed across the globe.
Whilst most of Australia consists of arid deserts and dense bushland, the oceanic coasts to the south of the country have a terrain and climate ideal for vine cultivation and wine production. It took several decades of failed attempts at the end of the 18th century in order to produce vines of a decent enough quality for making wine, but since those first false starts, the Australian wine industry has continued to grow and grow. Today, wine production makes up for a considerable part of the Australian economy, with exports in recent years reaching unprecedented levels and even overtaking France for the first time ever. Whilst the greatest successes in regards to quality have been the result of the Syrah grape varietal (known locally as Shiraz), Australia utilizes several Old World grapes, and has had fantastic results from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling, Chardonnay and more. As the Australian passion for locally produced wine continues to develop, wineries have begun experimenting with a wider range of grape varietals, meaning that nowadays it isn't uncommon to find high quality Australian wines made from Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Viognier, amongst many others.

My 10 month just stopped eating everything from a spoon, he does not want to be fed, he just wants to feed himself now. And he was a wonderful eater. Now I give him pea size chicken, peas, carrots, noodles, puffs, cherios. He loves beans too. The only thing he will eat off a spoon his Yo Baby yogurt, he loves it. I've learned to just be patient and if he is hungry, he will eat.posted 10/23/2008 by Melajohnston
Always try something more than 1 time, especially if it is something new. if it continues consult your pediatrician about a multi vitamin. I have a ten yr old and a 10 mos old and both of them didn't like baby food, I had to make my own and add flavoring like broths. With my oldest he still won't eat veggies not even corn! I make broth type soups and use a blender to mix the veggies and put it over rice with some kind of meat and he doesn't even realize it. The baby loves it too. I may not be able to always get veggies in my oldest, but I do in one way or another and along with a vitamin he's healthy.posted 10/14/2008 by Dewws
My son Dylan did the same. he wanted more verity, i switched from jar food to regular. frozen veggies and such... he liked to roll them around in him mouth and chewing on it,he wanted the texture, it was something different for him. they get tired of the same thing just like we do. good luck.posted 09/27/2008 by Conchitta18
My son started refusing being fed at 6.5 to 7 months old so I've had to be very creative at finding nutritious finger foods that wouldn't choke him. Here are some of the foods that he has enjoyed: bananas, avacado, mango, tofu, frozen veggies (peas, corn & carrots) cooked in the microwave with a bit of water, tomatoes (without skin), cooked sweet potatoes, most fruits cut up & skin removed especially mango, plums, bananas, peaches, pears, strawberries, blueberries (i use frozen berries thawed in microwave), melon. I also feed him cooked beans (black, pinto, great norther) and he loves them. He also likes cooked chicken breast with a little cream of mushroom or celery to moisten it. And I sometimes give him low sodium deli meats. He also loves bits of cheese (very easy to gum), cottage cheese, and plain yogurt. I sometimes put cinnamon on his oatmeal, garlic, onion, basil or parsley on his meats or veggies just to mix things up. He loves salmon with a bit of butter.posted 09/27/2008 by phoenix7228

I make my own baby food, including hte fruit and she refuses to eat unless it's mixed with her fruit to camoflage it.

I'm so glad I'm not alone. I have a 10 month old son and he has this problem where he won't eat alot for a couple of days. The doctor said to give more solid food and less formula, so I did that last week. He's doing going good less formula, but after eating more solids he's getting picky. I would like to start giving him fresh veggies but don't know the first thing about how to prepare them, because I don't eat any of that stuff. Is there a book out there. I've tried to make for my husband and it turned out bad. Thanks for any help. :)posted 09/22/2008 by stephd45

Regulatory Story | |||||

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 12 February 2013
("TXO" or the "Company")
Construction of Hydrocarbon Recovery Plant commenced
The Board of TXO Plc ("TXO") is pleased to announce that it has completed a further investment in Grand Bahama Group Limited ("GBG"). The Company has purchased a further 100 ordinary shares for a consideration of £700,000 being settled through £350,000 in cash and £350,000 though the issue of 116,666,667 Ordinary Shares in TXO at an issue price of 0.30p per Ordinary Share. The additional investment represents a further 6.53% shareholding in GBG and takes TXO's equity holding in GBG to 30.17%.
The investment by TXO in GBG will be directed to its wholly owned subsidiary, Morgan Oil Marine, for the construction of a Hydrocarbon Recovery Plant ("HRP") in Freeport. For the period from 1 January to 12 September 2012 GBG recorded a loss of $433,850 on turnover of $291,643 and had net assets of $337,662 at the period end.
TXO's investment in GBG will continue to be accounted for using the equity method. Initial recognition is at cost, but thereafter at each reporting period the investment value is adjusted to recognise TXO's share of the profit or loss and assets for that period, and tested for impairment if necessary.
The Company has agreed a new option to acquire a further 268 ordinary shares in GBG at the same valid price to the end of December 2013. If the option is exercised, it would increase TXO's total holding in GBG to 43.18%.
The 116,666,667 Ordinary Shares have been issued and allotted to GBG which represents 11.04% of TXO's enlarged share capital. GBG's holding in TXO now totals 130,000,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 12.40% of TXO's current issued share capital. Application has been made for the new shares to be admitted to trading on AIM on 18 February 2013.
David Morgan, Chairman of Grand Bahama Group Limited commented:
"We are grateful to TXO for this additional investment. Additionally, we are delighted to announce that Morgan Oil Marine has now commenced construction of its new Hydrocarbon Recovery Plant, scheduled to complete second quarter of 2013. In the interim, the 1m-gallon capacity Barge Martha and the 20,000-gallon capacity Tug Victoria have commenced the limited collection of ships slops and used lubricant whilst the crews are undergoing sea trials. This will generate positive cash flow that may help reduce any requirement for further equity investment. However, we have agreed to extend the Option to allow the maximum flexibility in this regard. "
Tim Baldwin, Chief Executive and Chairman of TXO Plc commented:
"We are pleased to be able to announce that we have increased our equity stake in GBG to 30.17% and extended an option that will allow us to increase our stake to 43.18% in the future. GBG is a low risk, cash generative business that helps to balance the TXO portfolio."

A 25-year-old Howard Beach man faces manslaughter charges after allegedly getting behind the wheel while intoxicated and causing a fatal smashup in Ozone Park on Saturday night.
According to police, Christopher Rivera, who lives on 85th Street, was traveling southbound on Woodhaven Boulevard near 101st Avenue at approximately 10:48 p.m. when he swerved into northbound traffic.
Rivera's 1995 Honda Accord struck a 1999 Nissan Maxima, driven by an unidentified 66-year-old man. The Maxima then struck a third car.
Responders pronounced the 66-year-old dead at the scene. A passenger in his car's front seat suffered neck and back injuries. No one in the third car was injured. Both Rivera, who suffered cuts to his back and arm, and the passenger in the Maxima were treated at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.
Rivera, who published reports say works for UPS, faces charges of vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated in addition, to the manslaughter charge.
He was arraigned on Tuesday night, at which time Judge Steven Paynter set his bail at $250,000.

"We made 3 different kinds...fudgy chocolate, lemon and strawberry.Hubby liked the lemon the best. I didn't like that the tops feel "oily". I sifted powdered sugar over them to help that as I plan on using them in baked good gift boxes. This is a quick cookie recipe to make tho'. I am sure we will make the lemon one's again...hubby really lik..."
"Hubby says to tell you KFC has nothing on these rolls! LOL! We live where there isn't even a KFC so not sure why he said that. These are easy and very soft and hubby says "GREAT" rolls. I am not a big bread person but thought they tasted good for such simple and quick rolls. Thanks for the recipe Linda! ADDED - (4 1/2 teaspoons dry active yeast in..."
"I am typing this review as my 3 grandkids eat their "Breakfast Cookie" for after school snack. They each mixed their own and had fun doing it....exception was chocolate chips instead of raisins. Thanks for the great recipe!"
"YUMMY! First, my husband does NOT like apple pie....well, now he does!! This is wonderful! I did do two things different. I used 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and I used carmel dip instead of ice cream topping. I am sure we like that better then we would have the ice cream topping. One thing for beginner cooks...your pie will be huge before bakin..."
"Way too greasy. Didn't like the texture of the crust. Sorry."
"Hubby, the none vegetable eatter, really liked this...with cheese sauce on his of course! I never baked asparagus before....Thanks for the recipe. Also, we did not add the parmesan...it's really not necessary. Great recipe idea!"
"I have made this a couple of times now. My hubby doesn't normally like homemade stew much...he likes this one! I cook the meat longer and add more liquid if needed just because we like our meat more tender. I also put the carrots in sooner then the potatoes...so they get done. I will "fine-tune" this just a little for us but it is really a grea..."
"Great recipe! All 3 grandkids liked this...2 dipped thier's in ketchup and one in ranch dressing but they liked it anyways. Hubby and I thought it was very good. Very moist. Thank you!"
"Made this for my birthday yesterday...as I am not fond of frosted cakes. It turned out great! I mixed all dry ingredients together first then added 1 1/4 cup evaporated milk. Stirred in one granny smith apple, cut up. I didn't over-stir. I mixed 3/4 cup light brown sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl then covered the top. Drizzled..."
