DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — The Durham man who rented the car that North Carolina basketball player P.J. Hairston was driving on the night of June drug arrest says he didn't provide improper benefits to Hairston. In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Haydn Patrick "Fats" Thomas said he rented the 2013 GMC Yukon from the June 5 arrest at a license checkpoint in Durham. He also confirmed details reported by WTVD of Durham, including that he loaned the car to friend Miykael Faulcon — one of the two passengers in the vehicle who were arrested along with Hairston.
Hairston, Faulcon and Carlos Sanford were each charged with possession of less than one-half ounce of marijuana and released on $1,000 unsecured bonds. Faulcon and Sanford are both from Durham.
"Let me just tell you one thing: there's no story," Thomas said of Hairston. "There's no story here. The basketball player, he's not accepting gifts. There's no story."
"If this was a real problem, you think the NCAA would've been at my door faster than (reporters)?" Thomas said.
UNC officials have said they're gathering information before making any statements or decisions on Hairston's status. They haven't commented further on the case.
Athletic director Bubba Cunningham said last month the school is also investigating whether NBA agent Rodney Blackstock has improper ties to Hairston or any other UNC athlete. That began shortly after USA Today reported in May that AAU coach Darius Cobb said he received $10,000 from Blackstock to steer former Kansas guard Ben McLemore to him as a client.
Blackstock and Hairston are both from Greensboro.
Thomas faces drug charges as well as a charge of possession of a firearm by a felon from a December arrest. WTVD also reported this week that Thomas said he had partied with former UNC athletes but denied providing any improper benefits.
USA Today reported that Thomas was charged $1,261.64 for renting the vehicle, according to a rental receipt. Thomas denied knowing Hairston in an interview with the newspaper.
Officers also seized a 9mm handgun and ammunition during the stop, with Durham police spokeswoman Kammie Michael saying the pistol was found on the ground outside the rental vehicle during the search. Police haven't linked the gun to Hairston or his passengers.
All three are scheduled for an August court hearing.
Hairston, a 6-foot-5 1/2 swingman, announced in April he would return to Chapel Hill for his junior season instead of entering the NBA draft. He led the team in scoring at 14.6 points per game.

Finally I have my hands on both the Blush Ombres from the Proenza Schouler collection! I have seen mixed reviews about the blushes and I am assuming a quality control issue across batches. As for me I did not find both the blushes to be stiff nor did I face any issues getting good color payoff.
MAC Description:
For the first time, the cool cleverness of the Proenza Schouler woman is captured in a collection of confident colour – slick, sleek and effortless with specially designed, limited-edition packaging. Lipstick cases, compacts and Pro Longwear pencils shine in a unique, luxurious metallic finish in a spectrum of colour from oceanic teal to glossed lemon and royal violet.
How it fared:
Ocean City Blush Ombre is described as coral orange ombre into beige. Both the shades within had fairly good color payoff though the beige part by itself did not do much on my skintone. I prefer to swirl the blushes together and love the resultant peachy shade the best. The pigmentation was moderate to buildable. The shade will work across skintones. The blush builds up well on layering, so it isn't difficult to make the shade work on deeper skin tones as well. The blush blends well without being patchy. It wore well for 6+ hours on me before showing signs of fading.
Sunset Beach Blush Ombre is described as Pink Ombre into beige. In this case I would call the lighter part more pink and less beige than with Ocean City Blush. The texture and overall performance of the blush was at par with the Ocean city Blush. It was finely milled and had a smooth blendable texture. I did not face issues getting good color payoff with a brush. The texture did not appear dry or stiff with both the blushes. Infact, the finely milled formula was easy to apply and blend. The shade sunset Beach wore for 6+ hours on me before showing signs of fading.
Overall Verdict: Though I intended to only get the Ocean city from the collection, the mix up with shipment led to me buying both the blushes. Though I was skeptical about how Sunset Beach will look on me initially, it turned out to be a very flattering pink and not that cool toned as I assumed it to be. Both the shades wore well on my skin tone. The blushes had a finely milled texture and were easy to work with.

2005 Nissan 350Z Coupe Enthusiast 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 6M)
September, 2012, I was lucky enough to find a 2005 350Z with just 10,500 miles.
I bought it from a retiree that garage kept it from day one.
In 1.5 years I've already added 20K miles because I want to drive it everywhere I go.
It could be a little faster but with 300 horses, it's hard to complain about.
It also draws a lot of looks and I get compliments often.
Mine is Daytona Blue and the color really pops.
I did replace the Bose stereo but there's nothing else you can do to make this car any better.
The gas mileage in the city isn't great, around 19mpg, but I took it on a 1,500 mile trip, all highway with the AC on, and got an average of 31mpg, believe it or not.

2005 Nissan 350Z Coupe 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 6M)
i bought my 2005 base 6 sod manual. car runs great. had some little problems but was purchased used at 78k miles. thermostat went out which caused the car to over heat, headlights went out. and battery went bad, all simple problems. after owning it for a year. i noticed transmission makes a rattling noise at idle. also clutch feels very soft,
i've read lots of discussions saying clutch's and tranny's go out a lot in these. also nissan dealerships are never helpful. the car is amazing. couldnt have a better sports car for the money. still looks modern, just know that if you buy one, it's a gamble, and the dealership wont help.

2005 Nissan 350Z Coupe 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 6M)
Well, the very fact that I am taking the time a. sign up for edmunds & b. to review a vehicle, pretty much sums it up- either a great car or I'm very upset.
The 350z is amazing..
I also own a Honda civic (great car), but I haven't been able to get out of the Z yet.
This car makes you feel like a champion every time you drive it.
I honestly would sleep in it if I could.
Looks good, sounds freakin awesome (class leading exhaust in my opinion- leave it stock!!), and performs & handles like a dream.
Highly recommend- coming from a bang for your buck kind of guy..
Also, Nissan is a reliable engine, what more is needed?

2005 Nissan 350Z Coupe Touring 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 6M)
I bought my '05 Z as a CPO with 18k on it in October of 2009. 34k on it now. A windy mountain road will allow you to experience this car's full capabilities. (My wife doesn't tell me to get something practical anymore!) The styling can get you more attention than desired. Ever since I powder coated the wheels black, I get challenged to race every time I take it out. My Z had been trouble free until recently. The left rear wheel bearing went out ($250 fix covered by the CPO warranty) & a short in the dash gauge cluster's mother board ($1,100 fix not covered). At such low mileage, even the dealer agreed this is unusual. But every car has its hiccups. Hopefully it'll be a while before the next.

Fast, fun - get lots of compliments all the time everywhere I go. Went to lease blue, came home with black. Love the dash, foot pedals and overall appearance of the car. Mileage is OK, depends on how you drive it (lead foot = lower mileage). Normal driving nets better mileage, but it's hard to stay under the speed limit. Would have leased a new one, but the dealers' aren't dealing, so I'm going to keep mine with low mileage, 3,000 mile oil changes and hand washed since I brought her home. She's a keeper.

Just traded my '04 FX45 for my first Z, and love my outcome! Couldn't have made a better decision. The exterior rocks and the comments and wow factor from others is much more than the FX. The exhaust amazing. The stock stereo/speakers are a lot to get used to after having a Bose system. Probably have to replace as it looks and sounds low quality. The red exterior rocks. I'm loving my Zed!!!

I have loved the Z for years, and when the new body style came out I had to have one. It is absolutely amazing!!!

2005 Nissan 350Z Coupe Touring 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 6M)
Great fun car. Power, handling, brakes are excellent. Suspension is stiff but this is what you get with a car that is glued to the road. Great combination of straight-ahead speed and cornering capabilities. When applying the brakes, watch out for cars coming from behind you; no way they can slow as rapidly as you can. Exhaust sound is cool - reminds me of an Austin Healy 3000! You have to 50 years old to remember that car. Only problem is that on the interstate I can't tell if I'm going 70 or 90 mph without looking constantly at the speedometer. Too many speeding tickets verify this comment. By the way, 70 to 90 acceleration is way good!

Wyoming sunshine lawsuits
From Ballotpedia
Here is a list of major FOIA court decisions and their effect on the Wyoming Sunshine Law.
(The cases are listed alphabetically. To order them by year please click the icon below the Year heading)
" | Year | Precedent |
Allsop v. Cheyenne Newspapers | 2002 | 1.) This case held that the police investigation exemption should be narrowly construed to include only investigations leading to prosecution. 2.)This case affirmed the use of redaction as an effective tool for insuring the release of non-exempt material despite its commingling with exempted material. 3.) This case affirmed that exempt categories of records ran counter to the intention of the law. |
Freudenthal v. Cheyenne Newspapers, Inc. | 2010 | |
Houghton v. Franscell | 1994 | This case narrowly construed hospital records to include only the day to day affairs of curing patients and not administrative documents. |
Laramie River Conservation Council v. Dinger | 1977 | This case established that the exemption for inter-office memoranda found in Wyoming Sunshine Law § 9-692.3(b)(v) was to be narrowly construed so as to prevent the concealment of documents by merely calling them "memoranda." |
Record-Times, Inc. v. Town of Wheatland | 1982 | |
Sheridan Newspapers v. City of Sheridan | 1983 | 1.) This case eliminated the possibility of exempt categories of records and 2.) Required a case by case consideration for records denials based on exemption with the burden of proof resting upon the records custodian for any denied records request. |
Sublette County Rural Healthcare District v. Miley | 1997 | Establish criteria for determining whether trade secrets are exempt based on the effect on the ability to gather information in the future and the potential affect on competition. |
University of Wyoming v. Gressley | 1999 | This case established that the University of Wyoming is in fact an agency, subject to the Wyoming Sunshine Law and the Wyoming Public Meeting Law. |
Williams v. Stafford | 1979 | |
Workers Compensation Claim of Decker v. State of Wyoming | 2008 | This case established that the definition of public body which includes bodies created by statute requires direct legislative enactment, not merely permissive legislation which leaves the creation of bodies at the discretion of an executive offices.[1] |
Wyoming Department of Transportation v. International Union of Operating Engineers Local Union 800 | 1995 | This case established that names and address did not automatically qualify as exempt personal records. |
Wyoming Tribune Eagle v. Governor Dave Freudenthal | 2010 |

Coming Soon to the Farmers' Market: "The Peach of Immortality"
This succulent peach won't be around for long
When approaching a ripe donut peach, one must temper lust with mindful restraint. First, assume a wide stance, slightly flexing your knees to maintain balance. Then gently grasp the saucer-shaped fruit with your thumb and middle finger, careful not to squeeze too tightly. Thrust your head forward, eyes closed, chin out, mouth open and prepare to swoon.
That first bite will release a wave of sugary goodness slobbering down your chin and, you hope, not on your Tommy Bahama camp shirt or Eileen Fisher cami. Spritzing is always a danger. Envious friends and family who have leaned in to take a close look may get a sudden jet of peach juice to the face.
They too may fall to the ground, writhing in pleasure.
"It's a fruit you would have expected in the Garden of Eden," says a close friend who shall remain nameless to protect her professional
reputation. "It's fleshy and practically obscene with sticky sweet, dripping juices. If I were Eve, I would have tempted Adam with a donut peach."
Psst. I can get you some.
Don't tell anyone else, but two longtime vendors at the Dane County Farmers' Market—Jim Barnard of Door County Fruit Markets and Tom Krall of Deerfield Greenhouse—offer donut peaches. Look for them in early August. (Barnard's stand is on Pinckney Street, Krall's on Main Street.) But be quick, because they're a transitory pleasure, gone before Labor Day.
Aficionados know the drill. "As soon as I open the door of the truck, they're asking about them," says Krall, whose main business is bedding plants and peppers. He only has a dozen or so trees. "By daybreak, the donut peaches are usually gone."
Barnard, who specializes in fruit (notably, Door County sweet cherries), sees those same peach lovers. "They're waiting on the benches even before we set up. They know from experience if they come at ten all they'll get is our regular peaches."
The uncommonness of donut peaches adds to their allure. Their origin traces to China where peaches have been grown for four thousand years. Donut cultivars are also known as peentao, peento or pantao peaches. Or commonly as saucer peaches.
They've been grown in the U.S. with mixed success since the mid-nineteenth century, but began to gain traction in the 1980s when the venerable Stark Bro's nursery in Missouri patented a new winter-hardy, disease-resistant variety called Saturn. As the patent application puts it, the Saturn has flesh that is "fine, tender and melting."
Barnard has four hundred-plus donut trees and expects a boom year. He also grows regular peaches—Red Havens—and speaks highly of their yellow flesh and ease of picking. "But they don't compare," confides Barnard, whose family orchard dates to 1929. "The Saturn peach is completely different. The skin is very tender; the stem is more or less recessed into the peach. They're a nightmare to pick because the stem tends to tear the flesh."
Krall feels his pain. "Peaches are tricky," he says. "You can go from green to dead ripe in a day or two, depending on the weather. What you want is a tree- ripened peach—that's when they're really the best. You only have a day or two to sell them, because they're not going to last."
You can find donut peaches seasonally at Whole Foods and the Willy Street Co-op, but they've been picked green in California or Washington and are harder than the tree-ripened delights to be found locally.
"We try to pick them ripe as possible," says Barnard. "We call it 'firm ripe'—firm enough to pick but ripe enough to eat off the tree." Ripe donut peaches don't last long, he admits—only a few days before they go soft and start bruising. But that's seldom a problem, because "they're so sweet and wonderful that they're going to be eaten before they make it home anyway."
That's an old, old story.
I was in New York, looking at the photography of avant-garde Beijing artist Wang Qingsong, when I happened across an ancient folk tale about the magical power of donut peaches. According to Daoist legend, every three thousand years a special peach tree bears fruit, prompting the Queen Mother of the West to throw an extravagant banquet featuring the "pantao peach of immortality." One bite guarantees eternal life.
But who could stop at one bite? Better to take two or three and surrender to the ecstasy of the moment. Better yet, there's no need to wait three thousand years. The peach of immortality awaits you right here in Madison for a few short, sweet weeks.

Jefferson County
"To my knowledge, at least to date, we haven't had a lot of experience with raves in Jefferson County. The problem [with raves] is that they usually try to set them up without the ticket buyers even knowing the date or time of event, then posting it on a Web site. Our current posture toward raves is that we're not going to change our approach from any other large gathering. When it becomes a problem, where law enforcement has to intervene, we will do so.
"If there was to be one in Jefferson County, I would guess that our intelligence people from our task force would probably put a couple of people out there in plainclothes, undercover, at the actual location where the party was happening, to be able to gauge what was going on. We would probably have an extra patrol of one or two units that wasn't necessarily at the site, but we would make them aware that there was a special emphasis on this event. So we could know what the heck is going on. I mean, if someone was having a wedding in the middle of nowhere with 500 people, we wouldn't care. But part and parcel to the rave scene is that you've got like 500 people and it could escalate into a really bad problem. If you look at the Web sites for some of these things, they put up the red flags themselves. Talking about large groups of people [attending], and they're not putting the date out, so that law enforcement doesn't know where they are going on. That leads the reasonable officer to want to know what is going on. We want to know just what the heck is going on." -- Lieutenant Phil Dominico, Jefferson County Sheriff's Department
Larimer County
"My objection to the raves that were happening was the large amount of narcotic activity -- GBH, ecstasy. Combine that with the age of the ravees, and it causes great concern. Everyone has the right to dance and listen to music and have a good time. But the narcotic situation seems to be a big part of it, and the age of the attendees is a problem. My concern over raves is basically just public-safety issues: What are you going to do for parking? What sort of health facilities are available? A lot of the youngsters that attend these things become dehydrated from dancing. And if you're thirty miles up a canyon or somewhere in the middle of nowhere, how do you get help?
"We had the Bongathan out here -- remember that? Yeah, that was my county, too. And we tried to send a message then that we do not like this type of illegal activity. If you want to come up here and have a clean party, a fun party, fine. Work with us. But I am against the underground nature of these things. The way they don't notify these people of these events until the day of, it's because they anticipate a lot of illegal activity and don't want law enforcement present. Well, I'm going to be present, and I'm going to stop it." -- Sheriff James A. Alderden

Getting just 73 MPGe, the Coda is relatively inefficient compared to other fully electric cars. That's why it ties with the Toyota Prius Plug-in, even though that car goes just 11 miles on battery power before running on gasoline. We ranked the Coda higher than the Prius here because electricity costs less, per mile, than gasoline and the Coda uses no gasoline.

Kim Kaufman's sudden rise in the golf world continued over the past couple weeks, to the point where the 22-year-old South Dakota native may be on the LPGA for keeps.
After finishing fourth at the North Texas LPGA Shootout last week, the 5-foot-11 Texas Tech graduate quickly flew home to Orlando, hopped in her car and headed to this week's Symetra Tour event in Greenwood, SC. It may be her last Symetra Tour start this season.
"It was amazing last week," Kaufman said. "It changed my career, changed my summer. It got me into the top 80 on the LPGA, but also gave me a ton of confidence as well. Now I know I can actually compete to win out there."
After graduating from Tech last May with a 4.0 grade-point average in Political Science, Kaufman quickly turned pro and made her pro debut three weeks later on the Symetra Tour in Decatur, IL. She finished in the top 10 and won two weeks later at the Island Resort Championship in Harris, MI. Earlier this year, she earned her second professional title as a final-round 66 earned the trophy at the Volvik Championship in Los Angeles.
With conditional LPGA status, Kaufman was focused on the Symetra Tour this year to earn full LPGA playing privileges for 2015, with an occasional dip of the toe into a LPGA event. She is ranked seventh on the Symetra money list currently. But that dip turned into a full baptism in April. She finished tied for 42nd in Hawaii at the LPGA LOTTE Championship in her LPGA debut on April 19 and picked up the pace last week. She shot 66-68 in the middle rounds, including the third-round 68 while paired with Suzann Pettersen and Azahara Munoz.
Through two LPGA starts, Kaufman has earned $60,653, nearly twice as much as she earned on the 2013 Symetra Tour. She is averaging 270.8 yards in Driving Distance over two weeks on the LPGA and has five of her eight rounds at par or better. The good finish pushed her to 54th on the money list and virtually assures her of getting in most LPGA events for the remainder of 2014. She will be in the field for next week's Kingsmill Championship in Williamsburg, VA, then travel to Mobile, AL, for the Airbus Mobile Bay LPGA Classic and on to New Jersey for a U.S. Women's Open qualifier and that week's ShopRite LPGA Classic before, finally, a week off. The high finish in Texas also improved her positioning in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings to 194th, an improvement of 143 spots over last week.
The ascent is quite a journey from growing up at the nine-hole Clark (SD) Golf Club which has no bunkers and water hazards all the way to the LPGA.

Just for what it is worth.

We have turned down an offer to buy for $350,000 since then. We live in a very small county (only 2 stoplights in the entire county) and the people are as friendly as they come. The Sheriff is VERY pro CCW!!!
Love it here is an understatement.
Are you sure you are up to date on Ohio? Most of the complexities of "vehicle carry" disappeared last March. About the only "issue" still remaining is that if the firearm is "on your person" it must be in a "holster". If not on your person, it must be in a closed container (a purse qualifies).But Ohio has such a convoluted mess for vehicle restrictions that I wanted to make sure.
The big watchout for out of state visitors is that concealed firearms are NOT permitted in any gov't building, and that includes highway rest stops. The "unless authorized by law" on the signs does NOT mean US!
(who lives close to Kentucky and likes their CCW laws even more)
I realize Ohio has cleaned up the vehicle issue for ccw. however if you recall, it was quite a mess for a long time and the latest ccw amendment makes it darn near impossible to transport a hand gun in a vehicle if you don't have a ccw.
I just want to insure that we were the only state this screwed up.
BTW, I made the trip with out a hitch. Thanks to everyone for the info.
The best things in life are not free.
They are paid for with the blood of brave men and women!
M&P Forum
Ohioans For Concealed Carry
I don't think so. You need it unloaded (means no ammo nearby) and out of reach of the driver. Very easy to do if you have the gun in the trunk or in a locked box. I did that for years when I went to the target range.
Furthermore, even if you carried a loaded gun in your trunk (or a locked box), as long as you do not give police permission to search your vehicle, they couldn't legally find it without a search warrant based on probable cause. IOW, you are probably more at risk of being hit by a meteor unless you have illegal drugs or something in the car.

'Temple Run' Looks to be the Latest in a Long Line of Video Game Movie Bad Ideas
In Development By Nathan Adams on November 13, 2013 | Comments (2)Video games have been a part of popular culture for decades now, and whenever anything is a part of popular culture, you can bet that Hollywood is going to try to piggyback off of its joojoo in some way. Because of this, the history of movies that were adapted from video game properties is a long and rich one, wherein just about every game you can think of that's reached a critical mass of popularity has been turned into a movie. That's what makes it so depressing that we still haven't really gotten a video game movie that's been received warmly enough to legitimize the genre and shut up everyone who keeps saying that video games are not art, or that they at least make for really crappy source material for movies. What's even more depressing though is the news THR recently broke that Temple Run, a game that's become popular on iOS and Android mobile devices, is the next property set up to inspire its own big screen feature over at Warner Bros. Making a movie out of a game like this just proves that Hollywood still has no clue which types of video games could inspire a film version that audiences would accept and which absolutely won't.

More Tenants Headed to ShopRite Square in Niskayuna

More Tenants Headed to ShopRite Square in Niskayuna
(Niskayuna, NY) The Town of Niskayuna and Schenectady County officials today provided an update on redevelopment of ShopRite Square, located at the corner of Nott Street and Balltown Road in Niskayuna, NY. Next Thursday night, the Niskayuna Town Board is scheduled to call for a public hearing on a special use permit needed to move forward with the latest improvements to the shopping plaza.
Town Supervisor Joe Landry said that two new tenants have signed leases at the neighborhood shopping plaza which has been the focus of a major redevelopment effort in recent years. In addition, a vacant Friendly's is being torn down and a new building is planned at the site on an outparcel.
"Two new tenants, the demolition of the vacant Friendly's and a new building facing Nott Street East are all part of our efforts to continue the major transformation that has occurred in the past two years at ShopRite Square," said Supervisor Landry. "I am very grateful to IMCC St. James, L.L.C. for their commitment to continue to invest in and help us bring new tenants to this rebounding retail plaza in the heart of Niskayuna."
The first new tenant is a Japanese style-steakhouse called Sakura Hibachi which will be a full service Japanese restaurant with sushi and hibachi offerings.
A nail salon called Splash Nails has also signed a lease at ShopRite Square.
In addition, a food-related tenant is currently in lease negotiations for 1,800 SF.
In recent months, a new TCBY Yogurt, Best Cleaners and Giant Discount Wine and Liquor have also signed leases and opened for business at the Niskayuna location joining the Capital Region's first ShopRite store in the successful turn around of what had been a largely vacant retail site. Other tenants at the Plaza include LT's Grill, Starbucks and Golden Phoenix.
Demolition of the vacant former Friendly's is scheduled to occur in late March, 2013. The building's demolition will allow for additional parking and landscaping that will join the front portion of the plaza with the rest of the complex.
IMCC St. James, L.L.C. of Oak Brook, Illinois ("IMCC") owns the front portion of the Plaza. They purchased the former Friendly's as part of a plan to recruit additional tenants to the plaza by improving access and visibility for shoppers.
IMCC also plans to construct a new 1,750 square foot building facing Nott Street East. The company is in discussions with several tenants about leasing this new building.
Marty Finn, Chair of the Schenectady County Legislature's Committee on Economic Development and a member of the County IDA said, "The redevelopment of this plaza was one of the major priorities for the Legislature. By working together with the Town, we have transformed a largely vacant plaza into a very successful, expanding shopping destination."
Art Rendak, President of IMCC, said "We are pleased to work with the Town of Niskayuna and Schenectady County to continue the successful redevelopment of ShopRite Square."
The Schenectady County IDA is providing a $35,000 grant toward demolition costs of the former Friendly's.

In high school I was leaving my friend's house in Harvey, IL and we were just getting in the car. A man came running towards us so we hurried the hell into the car because we thought he was the BG. Nope. He was being chased and another guy started shooting at him while he was running towards us. I just threw the car in reverse and drove backwards fast as hell down the street. Now as an adult, I probably would put the car in drive and ran someone over........ I never told my parents because I didn't want to be banned from my best friend's house. Fear of one's parents was serious business when I was young. Nobody was hurt. Not sure about the guy who was being chased though.
Yep and no comment.
Oh dern.... Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
First time I was plinking with a buddy along a river in Oklahoma when a bullet went between us and then we heard the bang. We both hit the ground into a little depression in the sand. We looked over the edge and there was some moron target shooting in our direction. I say moron because there was a great big pile of sand there that everyone used as a back drop, everyone but him. We yelled at the guy but I guess he couldn't hear us. My buddy said "if he shoots again I am going to shoot back". The guy shot again and my buddy took aim on the guys truck and shot. We heard the bullet hit the metal, so did the guy and then he stopped shooting. He walked over to his truck and we got up and walked over to him and he yelled that we shot his truck, I said yep, pointed to the sand pile and said "shoot that way next time you almost killed us" and we left.

Who would like to advise me? I want to plant a new tree in our western-facing front yard on Long Island (zone 6b) with full sun for most of the day, including all afternoon. The location is near to where our water and sewage pipes travel, fyi. And my front yard is pretty small. I adore tallish Japanese Maples (25-30 feet), but am not tied to that idea. Especially because it is full sun, and that concerns me. I don't love the ones like Bloodgood that are red all year. I like a green time! Also not a fan of very light pink flowering trees. My wish list: Thanks for your ideas! |

trees can not.. and will not impact fully intact pipes ... they will invade already damaged pipes... especially old school tile type pipes regarding sewage ... especially if they are deep rooted trees ... how old are you pipes..??? .. how deep are they ... have they ever been inspected ... i would suggest.. that the more modern PVC type pipes are not an issue with trees .. all trees prefer sand.. they love the drainage as such.. its a non issue.. if properly planted and tended until 'established' ... and almost all trees love full sun ... understory trees.. which we think of as shade trees.. are usually what one might call.. tolerant of shade .. next.. height.. no tree ever stops growing.. its all about its annual growth rate.. and how fast it gets to yoru noted height.. and how fast it grows past it ... so if you want a smaller tree... you dont go with something like a maple.. that grow 3 to 5 feet per year .... as compared to something that might grow a foot or two.. and take many more years to get to your height limit ... there all your variables.. but the important one.. lol ... i dont know what kind of tree ... to suggest .... check out the link.. for a list of available JMaples... that are not red ken |

We stayed at Casa Belgo Argentina last summer with my sister. The room is on the third floor of a nicely decorated house. It has its own shower, toilet and kitchen. It is like a private studio flat. We felt at home and relaxed. The hosts are friendly and cool. I would definitely stay again.

Call them as soon as possible. It's not an outright denial. They probably just want to verify some information.

I agree, call them!
Thanks, I am going to give them a call. I really want their Caesars Rewards card, I stay at their properties six or seven times a year and it had a lot of perks.

I app'd on 8/1, and it took them 10 days to review my account before I logged in one day to my BoA online account and saw the new tradeline. Didn't bother calling, am in no rush. BoA usually reviews most applications these days, their instant approval comes few and far between, I believe.
