Island man arrested bringing narcotics from New York
Members of the Martha's Vineyard Drug Task Force arrested Theodore Bennett, 31, of Bennett Way in Edgartown Friday, following his arrival from New York City on a Steamship Authority ferry in Vineyard Haven with a "significant" amount of illegal prescription narcotics in his luggage.
Executing a search warrant issued by the Edgartown District Court earlier that day, police found 65 Percocet pills in a computer case Mr. Bennett was carrying when he walked off the ferry.
The task force has known for several months that Mr. Bennett was transporting illegal prescription narcotics from New York, according to the police report. The morning of February 14, task force members conducted surveillance of Mr. Bennett as he left New York City and travelled to Woods Hole, where he boarded the 7:15 ferry bound for Vineyard Haven with an 8 pm arrival.
Following his arrest, police took Mr. Bennett to the Tisbury Police Station for questioning. "We informed him that we have known for some time that he has been bringing Percocet pills to the Island," Edgartown Detective Michael Snowden wrote in his report. "Bennett became very emotional, stating that his life was over and he was a disappointment to his family. Bennett continued to say that he was not some 'big-time drug dealer,' and that he was just trying to make a little money."
Mr. Bennett told police he did not have a prescription for Percocet, a powerful combination of opiates and acetaminophen, intended for use to control moderate to severe pain.
Mr. Bennett is scheduled for arraignment in Edgartown District Court Monday on a charge of possession of prescription narcotics with intent to distribute. The arraignment was postponed while he seeks drug treatment, according to police.
So sad to hear. I wish him a full recovery.
Everyone has there hard times even u pain in the ass bored people that just comment bullshit what's behind your closets Everyone makes mistakes
Sorry not to Ned to the negative people
That is a rough one. It just shows you can't do this crap on the island, they're watching and they're hearing who's bringing what around. Especially a kid who is known on the island and draws attention when he's around. I wish they would just stop bringing this poison to the island, but no one learns. Every year there is another story of someone getting caught, usually walking off the boat…..sad
Funny how a story about a 31 year old Brazilian national busted for cocaine with intent to sell causes such a vicious reaction that the comments are shut down. But a story about a 31 year old local dope fiend busted with opioids with intent to sell brings out the concern on the comments. Time to get serious about these criminals– ALL of them. What next, a bleeding heart shrink who tries to sell the idea of suboxone to the public? Oh, wait.
its concern because i know this guy and its sad to see him throw his life away, its also sad that the Brazilian kid git caught with the coke, but i dont know him. I have a bleeding heart for anyone in the throws of addiction and who is selling drugs to make money. But like i said every year there is a story of someone getting caught. Calling someone a "local dope fiend" doesn't make one worse than the other, it just sounds like you're trying to poke and get a reaction. And yes all of them deserve the same treatment, but who can control the bigotry of some people, who only see Brazilian and get all fired up enough to clog a comment section with hate. I don't care if he was zebra striped the poison they bring to our island is shameful, and it has to stop.
The issue is addiction.
The issue is this kind of horrible criminal conduct contributes to the addiction of even younger kids. Quit the coddling and enabling.
I couldn't agree more, Toma. Get these scumbags off the island and off the streets.
These scumbags are also in hospitals and wearing white coats with MD after their names…
The issue is not addiction! The issue is Dealing Drugs for profit!
As opposed to charitable drug dealing?
True enough, but in the discussion of the Brazilian criminal, the point is this: He was illegally here. If our laws were enforced, his drug dealing would never have happened (here at least) because he would not have been here in the first place.
Wow- I started to agree with you but then read on and realized you just hate everyone
racism is alive and well,, even here in liberal la la land. image how it is in those red states.
Well said. It sucks to be anywhere where racist people spout hate like those like Vineyard 101 but at least its not Texas.
Don don. No no. How has the red vs blue argument gotten into this?
please don't tell me that you think liberals are more racist than conservatives..
It all depends upon how you define racism.
How do you define racism?
Whenever race is considered in a decision, whether positively or negatively, that's racism.
Sounds reasonable. I guess I don't understand the question. Did you see people defining it otherwise?
Wow, very funny how the Brazilian kid selling drugs got slandered on here because he's "illegal, doesn't pay taxes, doesn't pay for health insurance", even though everyone doesn't know that for a fact. And this guy? just because he's American, it's ok for him to be selling drugs in your neighborhood? why? because everyone assumes he pays taxes, and pays for health insurance? well, maybe we should ask that Brazilian guy to show everyone his tax info, because believe it or not, an illegal person gets taxes taken out of their check, and they can file for a tax return, but unlike us, they don't get any of it back because of their status. So stop being so ignorant, and look at the real problem, which is selling drugs, whether or not you crossed the border or was born an American.
I don't think anyone here is saying it's ok for him to be selling drugs.
And no, illegals do not have a ss #. If they did, they would not be illegal. How do they file for taxes? They are paid cash under the table.
You ignorant fool. If you dont have a ss# you can get a tax ID# which allows the person to pay their taxes. The government issues them to anyone who askes. THATS HOW!
Ignorance is bliss, isn't it??? It's called an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), illegal immigrants can obtain this number in order to file taxes but it does not permit the individual to work legally. The sole purpose of this number is for the IRS to be able to collect taxes from illegals, as they should, to contribute like the rest of us do. And as tisgirl stated, the ITIN allows for filing but with no refunds. So before you start spewing your nonsense, do some legitimate research.
They receive a temporary tin number ( 09 ). Government Issued!
Taxes are taken out by the employer and filed with state and fed.
By the way, it's very hard to pay someone cash. Ultimately the payer of cash must pay the taxes as earned income. Hence the government gets its share! Hard system to beat! Legal or not.
By the way how many citizens take cash under the table?
More cash trades hands between legal US citizens than Illegal refugees in the US. Thank an american, your neighbor or yourself if you think the government is getting beat! -
Please , do a better research. They have an Itin number,that extends for tax identification number. They pay there taxes under this number and they don't get anything back, like we all do. I know many "illegals" immigrants, and they all pay taxes. All the big landscape,construction companies , don't pay cash to their employees. Come on now. Learn things before you open your mouth,or yet, type something.(I'm married to on of then, and she pay her taxes)
You are married to a Illegal Alien (correct spelling should be `one of them`)???? Oh yea of course. West Tisbury
They're illegals, and the government knows it? So they're supporting illegal activity. I love corruption.
Well said and good for you for saying so. I agree wholeheartedly
I think you should do some homework about the tax code and illegals.
I think you should get off of your xenophobic rants and find out the facts.
I know far too many facts, and that's why my blood pressure is through the roof. Perhaps you should do some investigation about the hundreds of millions of dollars illegals scam from the treasury using a number of schemes and scams.
well, sorry about your blood pressure.. perhaps you should converting to liberalism. Your blood pressure would go down because you would not be worried about all those alleged "facts" that you think you know.
Even if you are correct that "illegals" are scamming the system for "hundreds of millions of dollars" , it pales in comparison to the billions that the 1% are scamming through tax loopholes, off shore tax havens, and outright tax evasion. And I will mention the TRILLIONS of dollars spent on wars by a small group (535 people) in the delusional belief that America somehow has a right to tell the rest of the world how to run their affairs.
The decision by the Bush administration to lie about wmd's in Iraq and the consequential war that followed cost this country more money in 10 years than all the illegal fraud that could be imagined for the next 100 years.
You can look up things like Mark Zuckerberg's -
Don, these tax "loopholes" are the elements of the tax code, written as much by liberals as conservatives. Availing oneself of them is what you do. You, I presume, take legal deductions, as do wealthy people. How you equate this with crime is a stretch, even for the liberal mind.
I didn't use the word "crime" I said "scam" .
You often complain about how the "illegals" get off easy on the legal system,(It seems the concept of $100 fines and 4 hours of community service enrages the conservatives") use our allegedly "good" health care system, and use your hard earned money to feed themselves on the taxpayer dime.. Sorry, Jonathan, all completely legal, just like offshore tax havens in the Cayman Islands and writing off your private jet.. Legally scamming the system is legally scamming the system. I suspect the "legal" scams by the wealthy cost the taxpayers more. -
If you want to have a discussion about fair tax codes, we can have that. I believe in a fair and flat tax. Every American should pay the same. Take the national budget, divide that figure by the number of people, and everyone pays that figure. Not the same rate – but the same amount. Like a ticket to the ballgame. Then you would actually see government austerity because we would have a tax revolt. And, we would see how much the actual producers are now paying.
you usually aren't that far out there you know..
I am all for a flat tax– pay at the register perhaps 17 % or so –all food except restaurants tax exempt. I think that's fair–but Lets talk about fair–remember, I am a numbers guy..so lets take a rosy look at your idea..3.77 trillion budget this year – 317 million people ( including illegals) that's $ 11,892 that my 2 year old grandson and the veteran that lost both arms and both legs in Iraq has to come up with. So a little more realistic is to split it between the 238 million people between 16 and 95 that could work if they all were capable, and the unemployment rate was zero that's $15,840 per person. So lets say you have a minimum wage job. $7.24 * 40 hours *52 weeks equals $15,059 per year, leaving $2.14 a day to live on..
Come on Jonathan…
You can do better..
we can have real conservations here,, -
You are making my point. That each person would have to pay an impossible amount screams to decrease the size of government.
I am making the point that minimum wage is too low, and the 1% is not paying enough..
I agree, decreasing the size of the government would be a good thing.
Subsidies for oil companies, coal companies, solar companies should stop.
Military could easily be cut in half.
Single payer health care would put thousands of dollars into the pockets of citizens, thereby stimulating the economy.
I am not willing to allow fat cat companies to pollute our water and air , or old folks to starve.. -
lets take another look at the numbers
The Median income in the United States in 2012 was $51,371 if we subtracted the average amount all able bodied people would have to pay with your scenario ( $15,804)
we get $35,531 , or pretty close to $100 a day…
That's a comfortable income to live on.
You could debate that, but I am talking about America–not the vineyard, and not everyone needs an oversized suv, and a 48 inch high def flat screen tv with 500 channels. -
I read your reply to me.. I have no idea why Mr. Cabral deleted it. it was a fair response, an articulated opinion, no name calling no swearing, no personal attacks. All the things he ask for.. What's with that , Doug ?
But to respond to you, no, not the same politician that sent the IRS to keep people from voting– it is the same politician that has been following the same path down the road to complete surveillance of all of us—something I am very concerned about and do not support the current or any other administration in perusing further… One of my major points of contention with the Obama admin.. Every politician misspeaks (lies) I think Obama underestimated the stupidity of the general public ( something I will never do) and did not realize that some people will pay $100 a month for health care that will not cover anything..
as far as Benghazi — beat it to death if you will ..but the fact is Republicans cut funding for the security necessary to protect that facility.. -
Don, your liberal (il)logic is stunning as you begin your discussion conceding that illegals are illegal, and then you try to defend a defenseless argument with twists and tortures of language.
what's so torturing of the language to point out what is legal ? Illegals can get food stamps (no crime) Billionaires can set up offshore front companies to avoid paying taxes (no crime)
Also here is a link to look at the cost of illegals to gov.. I know you won't look, but apx 10 B .
as for offshore tax havens for the wealthy, there is a lot of info that you can look at —it ranges from a low of 15 billion, to a high of 150 billion in lost tax revenue.
both are legal.. no torturing the language, just the facts.. -
just about "loopholes" —there seems to be a politician in Washington that has mentioned closing "loopholes" a number of times in recent months as a means to cut the deficit.. His colleagues sitting to one side of the senate chamber on the evening of January 29 2014 did not applaud him when he said "Let's work together to close those loopholes, end those incentives to ship jobs overseas, and lower tax rates for businesses that create jobs right here at home." His colleagues sitting on the other side of the chamber did..
Can you guess which side sat on their hands, and which side applauded ? -
Is that the same polictician who set the IRS onto groups and individuals who simply wanted the common sense of producing identification at the voting booth? Is that the same polictician who has the NSA listening to your every phone call and reading your every email? Is that the same polictician who said "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. Period." Is that the same polictician who said the slaughter in Benghazi was protest gone wrong?" Is that the same polictician who had the justice department and IRS intimidate an Associated Press reporter and FOX News reporter because he wanted to quiet their reporting?
He's right, as a liberal you only have to worry about the facts as you see them. The emotional impact is far greater than the facts.
Hahaha isn't that ironic?
Hahaha? What's funny about this situation. Nothing at all, none of it is funny! EVERYBODY makes mistakes! Wt res I bet you have some skeletons in your closet. Mr. Bennett is a good man that made a bad mistake! Your a fool to poke fun at someone when they are down. This man was not creeping around the high school selling drugs to children. For 6 or 7 years some island doctors were handing these dangerous drugs out like candy. All the sudden the DEA comes crashing down on these docs and the docs shut it down! Well too late now you have a whole group (which is bigger than you want to think) that is addicted. A lot of the time addicts will turn to selling drugs to feed there habit. So I ask again what is funny about this situation???
Isn't ironic the fact of an American drug dealer arrested being treated so differently than a Brazilian drug dealer dude? My hahaha goes to all the racist-useless son of a gun comments shown in this article. They both deserve to go to jail and be judged by authority. Sorry for his addiction.But do you really think that is so hard to get over an addiction? Believe me, it is not.
great job Martha's Vineyard Drug Task Force. Keep it up!
What about spouting some hate about this guy like you did about the entire immigrant community here? You make me sick
I did, but they deleted it.
Wow… did this array of comments go way off base. If they actually followed this guy from NYC how many other people is a Vineyard tax base funding for surveillance off Island ? Perhaps the local authorities in those towns would have an interest in these people and allow their tax payers to bear the burden of court costs and incarceration? Are we going to issue warrants and bring their suppliers here too? Interstate transport creates a federal case. Where is a comment from someone higher than Andy and Barney in the law enforcement food chain.
Toma-toes We agree! The comments sections show how racist the comments really are. Are you kidding me! The Times should not allow a forum for racism and hate. Local immigrants put much more into the system here than people think. They buy everything in cash from the local economy unlike many of us with credit cards who just purchase everything online! Talk to a local vendor and ask them how many sales they make weekly in cash to immigrants. I HATE RACISM! NO REALLY- IT MAKES ME SICK. We live in a place that paints everyone with one brush just because of where they are from and this paper gives those RACISTS a forum by which to spout that hate. SHAME ON YOU MV TIMES
Agreed, I don't care for racism either.
Racist or not, it is important to be careful with what we say.
I would say that I have come to know a fair number of folks from Brazil.over the past 10 or 12 years. Most of those I know, do shop online, but even more than that, like many of us they get a few friends together and go off Island to Walmart, Target, Best Buy, etc. They, for the most part. are very much a part of the ways of the world.
But , that is a side issue.. As sad as this is for any family, I do hope this drug dealer gets his just rewards from the criminal justice system.
It is not the courts problem that he feels he has disappointed his family.
He is not a kid, I'm sure he knew who he was disappointing all the while he was dealing stuff that would ultimately destroy someone else's kid. -
It's not racism. Racism is when you hate a race of people. Dissatisfaction toward illegals is not racist. Many races make up the illegal population.
Be real. If the man in the other story were Irish, don't tell me you would have posted the same thing! NO WAY. You feel so strongly because he is from Brazil. Thats all! In other words, to dislike someone because of where they are from is racism. PERIOD
I said all illegals regardless of nationality. You put words in my mouth.
I'm pretty ur illegal ur people came to America the same way the brazillian guy did unwanted native Americans are the only ones that can really say they are true americans
Does anyone remember that Theodore Bennett was involved in an accident in August 2005 that resulted in a fatality?
What does that have to do with this?? Anything…anything at all? Eight, nine years ago is not now. What is your point? Please explain
I remember that. He had a drug issue then and he has a drug issue now. It's too bad that Mr. Bennett's choices and actions continue to negatively affect people besides himself. While I hope that he receives the treatment he needs, addiction is not an excuse for breaking the law.
It is also not relevant to this story that Mr. Bennett's father is Associate Executive Director of Martha's Vineyard Community Services and a Senior Clinical Advisor of said organization's Island Counseling Center.
"It is the mission of Island Counseling Center to promote the fulfillment and optimal level of human potential of Island residents through the delivery of a continuum of innovative community based mental health and substance abuse programs providing behavioral health, substance abuse, rehabilitative and supportive services."
This fact is not relevant to this island's massive substance abuse problems or this story, so it is well and good that no one brought it up.
In other irrelevant news: another year, another Possible Dreams Auction!
U are pathetic bringing that up
If you remember which you obviously DONT, it was found that it was just that a "Accident" and the victim David Honey was speeding so T. Bennett was only charged with a minor traffic violation.
Maybe that accident found not to be due to his negligence was the cause of his drug abuse. Also MV Hospital didnt help as it took several hours to finally get him off island and once they finally did David died on that flight there!
Really "What is your point? Please explain".
somehow, some people come down really hard on addicted people on this forum. yet they fail to see the difference between the addiction of tobacco or alcohol and the addiction of other drugs.
certainly, the use and abuse of alcohol and tobacco are responsible for many more deaths than narcotics.-
Yes addiction is a terrible thing, but addiction does not waive responsibility. At some point an addict made a choice to use drugs/alcohol/tobacco and then made a series of other choices that led to their addiction. I'm tired of people excusing addicts behavior or diminishing their responsibility for their actions. It may be true that alcohol and tobacco result in more deaths than narcotics. They are legally available for purchase and it is the responsibility of the individual to use these items appropriately. Most narcotics are illegal to possess outright or without a prescription. Narcotics are not as socially accepted as alcohol or tobacco which is why there is a much stronger backlash from the public.
90 % of the people on this island are addicted to something get real u people are pathetic
I agree entirely with your point about responsibility. Your comment is articulate and clear. I see you are new to this forum. I hope you stick with it. We can use a few more thoughtful people here..
Thank you for the compliment. I have found that a clear and concise argument yields a civil discussion and exchange of perspective. Too many times these forums deviate to trying to shout the loudest or making inflammatory statements specifically intended to offend and hurt.
Are they coming down hard on the drug consumption of the addict or the dispensing of the drug to others?
I think most feel the same about alcohol… drink it if legal to do so, but don't dispense to those for whom it is not legal.
What is the definition of "big time" drug dealer? Maybe Mr. Bennett isn't bringing thousands of kilos to the island but he is still a drug dealer. There are lots of ways to make a little money. Maybe next time he could steal money from the elderly and say that he isn't running a big time Ponzi scheme, he was just trying to make a little money.
Everyone goes through there troubles what's pathetic is how bored everyone is on this island everyone goes through tough times everyone. I hope he perseveres after this bump in the road
So I don't see anything here that talks about his addiction, I only see pills brought home to sell. And all of you people talking about the Brazilian that just got arrested for the coke and cash. Why are we to feel sorry for him either? Did you all miss the article in the times 4/24/13 of the 17 million transferred out of MV alone in the year 2012? That's not all of Mass only MV. I don't feel sorry for any drug dealers. Get what you deserve, but the unfortunate reality is that they don't. Not here on the Vineyard anyway. Drop a name or 2, get a slap on the wrist and be on your way to continue your sleazy ways. The so called trips to the HS with the drug dogs is a joke while I'm at it. They give the kids a warning that they are coming in. Is this so they don't catch the jocks holding the bag. God forbid they get taken out for the season.
This world is completely backwards and so sad.-
The article states at the end that the arraignment was postponed so he could seek drug treatment. I would imagine that he has an addiction issue that he would like to address.
No the postponement is so he can cut a deal with the authorities and get off the dealing charges! This is not about addiction this is about dealing drugs for profit!
I am stunned that my simple easily verifiable comment that racism is more prevalent in "red' states than "blue" states got deleted along with all other comments regarding that.
Yeah it's not write how this paper let's this happen I'm ashamed to be from here reading all this bs
Yes, the censorship does not help the conversation.
What's the point of even opening comments for articles like these? Nothing good comes from it.
The comments are very revealing about who we are and that's a good thing.
Wow he cried so let's postpone arraignment! When's the last time they did that! If you can't do the crime don't do the time. Just shows it depends who you are.
Was his arraignment postponed so that he could attend his cousin's wedding last Sunday? The times had a lovely article highlighting the wedding last week.
Idk I think so he could go to rehab but others have been arrested and were not given the chance to go to rehab. Just doesn't seem fair!
Interesting that my comment was deleted. I read another article in the times On Island section from this week and I saw a potential connection to this article so I pointed it out. I posed a question that wasn't libelous or offensive.
I thought you deleted it! That's very interesting let's be honest prolly cause he did go to wedding!
Also going on how he is a addict is a cope out a excuse his intent was to sell them not take them! Come on
Is this not the same Theodore Bennet, nephew to Tom Bennet of MV Community Services who five years ago was responsible for the death of a well-respected, hard-working family man, also an Island native but a man of true character? David Honey was not speeding, Mr. Bennet was impaired, simple as that. He must be on probation I would imagine since the death of Mr. Honey (and several other actions), even though the coverage of this accident was minimum due to Theodore Bennet's connection to Tom Bennet. All was so simply dismissed when the facts where simply evident. It is unfortunate that this young man did not accept responsibility for his actions and choices in the past. Perhaps he would have received the help he so desperately needed and continues to need. As for David Honey and his wonderful family (as well as his many Island relatives and friends) – what a great loss of one talented, loving, respected husband, father and hard working man of much wisdom and talent. So much more this man had to offer the community he so loved and the wife and daughter he adored.
EW Baker, you are a stand up individual for sure! Many others have eluded to this fact, but you are the only one who has laid the cards on the table. You have my respect and admiration for that.
Over my long life, I have witnessed far too many young people cast to the wind in this same way.
Because of family connections, they never received the punishment, nor the help they needed resulting in a sad, lifelong, crime ridden addiction.
Punishment must be dealt. If one is willing, that alone will start the road to recovery.
We all know that only one person is needed to get clean, and that is the ""someone" willing to make the effort.
If they do that, then there is plenty of help available.
Many here have spoken of the need to lament his addiction.
That is not our job, that is his job.
Our job is to keep our family and our community from being hurt by his criminal behavior and that means applying the appropriate punishment for his crime.
The rest is his responsibility.-
Thank you LocalOpine. I am also impressed with your discussion. Perhaps we are old enough to know and to have witnessed the grief and desperation that accompanies ignoring addiction as well as flagrant, accepted behavior by those whose have the power and ability to address the situation on behalf and in conjunction with the obviously ill addict.
Interesting, LocalOpine (don't you agree?), my comment was deleted. I must say I am offended as I speak with dignity, write with integrity, interpret all situations with compassion and honesty. In my eyes, kindness comes first in all affairs. Lastly, if I do say so myself, I am proud to be a profoundly accurate speller!!
I'm shocked and disheartened to think your informative and just post should be deleted.
Truths often are painful, but important input when considering fair outcomes. -
EW Baker, It would appear that my response to you has been deleted….
EW Baker, I have responded to you twice, but, I don't see my post.
LocalOpine – We are being blocked by Big Brother. Sad but true. I never had the pleasure of reading your posts.
Inevitable I am sorry to say.
May I ask why my comment was deleted? I was sincere, honest, direct and compassionate to all parties involved. I simply spoke the truth as difficult as it might be to address. Perhaps ignorance is why Theodore Bennett's dire, life-or-death issues were ignored and hope for resolution never sought. Is it a matter of shame and remorse in the eyes of those in whom the legal and moral responsibility lies as they apply to Mr. Bennett's repeatedly dangerous actions?
Hmm. How did I guess-before I read all the comments-that this discussion would morph into a debate about illegal Brazilians?
(The "Times" may have deleted my post as I had Mr. Bennett confused with his brother). Yes, I thought there may be a connection. I did post a comment on the "Times" website concerning the dismissal of former critical, grave charges in the case of this young man (or the brother of this young man, who evidently has similarily fallen into the wells of addiction). Both obviously require imminent regard and attention in connection with their respective illness. However, the "Times" deleted my post. In any case, I was factual and quite honest and the content of my post relative and timely. A shame as attrition is essential for one to begin recovery … my sentiments may have opened some tightly closed eyes.
LocalOpine: I fear we are being blocked by big brother. No matter; it is inevitable.

About the location
Whitby 10 miles.
The charming and sleepy seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets and back alleys, is something of an artist's dream. Its pretty houses and cottages are clustered around the old harbour and surrounded by high craggy cliffs on three sides and there is a sheltered sandy beach set amongst the rocky coastline. The village can claim connections with Captain Cook who was apprenticed to a draper near the harbour. Nowadays, Staithes is a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire Coast and has a good selection of pubs, shops and tea rooms. The best views of the town can be enjoyed from the Cleveland Way which runs down the cliffside to the sea's edge. Altogether a superb base for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, visiting the larger resorts of Whitby or Scarborough and enjoying the moorland villages of the North York Moors National Park.

Racks for a truck can be tough to get
Posted by: trvlrerik on Dec-20-12 2:22 AM (EST)
I use the bed of the truck to haul stuff most of the time , so I made a rack out of 1 1/2" X 1" aluminum tube attached to the roof with bolts thru the roof sheet metal in the factory holes that are located in the caulk seams on the roof. This is a bad photo, not showing how it was built, but it gives you a different idea than is what is usually found thru commercial vendors.

Michie Tavern 1784
Established in 1784 by Scotsman William Michie, served as the social center of its community and accommodated travelers with food, drink and lodging. In 1927, the Tavern was moved 17 miles to its present location close to Monticello. Today, visitors can enjoy encountering the Tavern's past, which creates its 18th century life. They have a lovely restaurant, gift shop and a mini musuem. They also give tours, so you'll need to check when you visit here.

Once you finish your tour of Monticello, plan on dining at historic Michie Tavern. It was first established in 1784 by a Scot named William Michie. The tavern, once a rest stop for travelers, is still operating and serving good food. Your server will be dressed in colonial garb, too! Try the Southern Buffet which includes Fried Chicken and Barbequed Pork.
Hours for the restaurant are 11:15 am-3:30 pm Apr.-Oct. and 11:30 am-3:00 pm Nov.-Mar.
Guests can dine, tour the tavern then visit the general store and gift shop whose operating hours are from 9-5 p.m. The general store and gift shop have wonderful things! Our grandson bought some genuine confederate coins to add to his collection.- Family Travel

Michie Tavern
The tavern was established in 1784 by William Michie, a Scotsman. In the old days, taverns were not only a place to eat, drink and sleep. They also served as a center of the community.
Michie Tavern's upstairs Assembly Room once served as a ballroom, schoolroom, a place to worship, and for extra sleeping quarters.
Visitors experience the Tavern's past through an historical journey which recreates life when Mr. Michie operated his Inn. During the afternoons, April through October, visitors may be invited to dance the Virginia Reel in the Assembly Room, drink an 18th-century tavern punch or write with a quill pen. After visiting the original Inn, the tour continues through the Tavern's dependent outbuildings and the Virginia Wine Museum.- Historical Travel
Michie Tavern: A Tour
"Our country may be likened to a new house. We lack many things, but we possess the most precious of all — liberty!"
— James Monroe (1758-1831)
Scotsman William Michie (pronounced the Scottish way: Micky) founded Michie Tavern in 1784. In addition to serving as the social center of the community it also provided travelers with food, drink and lodging. In 1927, the Tavern was moved 17 miles from its original sight to its present location, closer to Monticello.
Tours are offered of the oldest section of Michie Tavern. Our tour guide was very good.
The past times and lives of 18th-century residents of this area come alive through this interactive tour, which includes the Colonial Reel. One of the most interesting points was at the end of the tour, in the former kitchen, when the guide passed around tea that had been a compressed into a thin "tablet". This is how tea was shipped from China to the rest of the world.- Historical Travel

Michie Tavern
During the colonial era, and for years afterward, the tavern was a place to eat, socialize, and maybe spend the night. First opened by William Michie in 1784, this tavern was moved here in 1927. Meals are still served.
Tour guides show visitors around. You may photograph anything inside or out. Be sure to examine the authentic 18th century map, in the Assembly Room upstairs. Also, check out the buildings in the back--the log kitchen, smokehouse, outhouse, and spring house.
It's open year round, from 9 am to 5 pm. The General Store is open from 9:30 until 5:30. The President's Pass covers this, Monticello, and Ashlawn-Highland (and can be purchased at the nearby Visitors Center).- Historical Travel

When the Phoenix Suns selected Markieff Morris with the 13th overall pick of the 2011 NBA Draft, many Suns fans groaned at the team again picking the "lesser brother" between Markieff and his brother Marcus.
Now, two months into the season, Morris has developed into the Suns most dependable bench player, averaging 8.1 points and 5.0 rebounds in 21 minutes per game and shooting an excellent 41% from behind the arc.
Morris was selected by a pool of the league's assistant coaches to play in the All-Star Weekend's Rising Stars game as he's the Suns first impact rookie since Amare Stoudemire in 2002. For the Suns to rebuild into a contender, it will take a lot more draft day successes like the Morris selection. Seeing him blossom into a solid player so quickly is an encouraging start.
Lesser brother? Hardly. Markieff Morris is the Phoenix Suns game-changer.
The widely used word to describe Markieff Morris after the draft was "tough". As Alvin Gentry said at the Suns news conference to introduce Morris: "We need a guy that can add some toughness to our team."
Morris credited his mother Thomasine for his toughness, and while Gentry might have been excited for Morris' physical toughness to bring to the Suns front line, Markieff seemed to be referring to mental toughness, resilience, work ethic and, as the matching tattoos of his and his brother Marcus read, "Family Over Everything."
That has been on display this season, as Morris has had a few bumps along the way, to be expected from any rookie, but works his way through them. He's had difficulties avoiding foul trouble and was uncomfortable playing with the starters early, but he continues to show improved consistency, bringing a lift and stability to a Suns second unit which desperately needs it.
Drafted for his interior defense, rebounding and toughness, Morris has also lived up to his billing as a top-notch 3-point shooter. This has been a tremendous help as Suns veteran stretch big man Channing Frye got off to a slow start. Morris has shown promise in his post game as well, though he still hasn't added much as a pick and roll finisher to his repertoire yet.
The Suns haven't had a rookie play this well in nearly 10 years. That is a game-changer.

Bluetooth Wireless Devices Delayed
Prequisits? (53 comments)
I'm wondering about what it really takes to run one of these wireless devices? Do they need special adapter cards and can then be made to work on something cheap like a 486? That would be great to have a wireless keyboard that could connect to any one of a group of cheap PCs around the house and telnet into the best PC that could be isolated in a different room.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gracie, a Phoenix Boston Terrier/Chihuahua puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boston Terrier/Chihuahua for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Boston Terrier/Chihuahua puppy from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boston Terrier/Chihuahua breeders who help with Boston Terrier/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

After much thought and Advil, I have decided I am going on a sex/dating and drinking sabbatical. I went on a six-month sex sabbatical after my breakup from my fiance a few years ago — or, rather, I announced I was going on a six-month sex sabbatical and then it lasted for, I think, around two. It wasn't a complete failure, in other words. Hilariously, I went on a sex sabbatical because all of my efforts to get laid were being thwarted and I figured I might as well decide to NOT have sex with a purpose.
Meanwhile, I have never taken a significant break from drinking. I didn't start drinking until I was in college — I believe most people start in high school, so I was a late bloomer in more ways than one — and I remember the night I got drunk the first time as well as you can possibly remember a hazy night 13 years ago. The amount and frequency of my drinking has gone up and down over the years, but I generally consider myself to be a responsible boozer. I don't drink and drive (easy when you don't have a car!), I don't say things I don't mean, and, for the most part, I don't do things I actually regret. Keep reading »

The front window of an East Colonial Drive AT&T was smashed by thieves overnight.
Orlando Police Department officers said three black men wearing masks and gloves made off with phones, tablets and other assorted electronics.
Officers were notified of the smash-and-grab when an alarm sounded about 2 a.m.
Store workers would take inventory of what is left at the store to determine how many items were stolen.
Officers will likely use surveillance video from inside the store to help find the thieves.

Climate and geography
Lithuania covers an area of 65 300 km2. The country borders on Latvia in the north, Belarus and Poland in the east and south, the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation in the northwest, and the Baltic Sea in the west. In 1989, cartographers of the French National Geographic Institute determined that the geographical centre of Europe is located in Lithuania (geographical coordinates: 54°54'N, 25°19'E).
The relief of Lithuania is flat, except for the undulating plains in the east and west that do not exceed 300 m above sea level. Lithuania's highest point is Aukštojo Hill (293.84 m above sea level). Lakes cover about 1.5 % of the territory. The largest of them is Lake Drūkšiai (44.8 km2). Lithuania lies in the zone of excess humidity and, subsequently, has a dense network of rivers. The longest river in Lithuania is the Nemunas which measures 475 km.
The Lithuanian climate is dependent on the dominating air mass transport from the west. The climate of the greater part of the country is moderately cold with snowy winters. The average temperature of the coldest month is below -3 °C, while that of the warmest month does not exceed 22 °C. The number of sunny hours a year is the highest on the Curonian Spit and the seacoast, amounting to about 1 860 hours, and drops to 1 690 hours moving eastwards. Compared to the period 1961–1990, the number of sunny hours has increased by 80–200 hours. The average annual temperature in Lithuania has climbed by 0.7-1 °C as compared with the period 1991–2006. Annual precipitation averages 675 mm. Each summer occasional heavy rainstorms hit Lithuania with 20–30 mm or more of rain falling within 24 hours. As a result of global warming, the number of days with a snow cover is decreasing. A comparison of the periods 1961–1990 and 1991–2006 has shown that the average number of days with a snow cover declined by four to ten days. In autumn and winter southern, south-western and western winds and in summer western and north-western winds prevail in Lithuania.
In 1989, Lithuania had a population of 3 674 800. From 1990 to 2006 the population decreased by 290 000. In early 2009, Lithuania recorded 3 349 900 inhabitants. The population decline has been mostly affected by increased migration flows and the low birth rate. Although Lithuania is a small state on the European scale, its population distribution is uneven. The highest population density is in cities of over 1 500 people per km2. The population of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, numbers as many as 546 700. Since 1990, population density has been declining steadily. In 1990 and 2009 the general population density constituted 56.6 and 51.3 people per km2, respectively.
Environmental governance
The basic principles of environmental protection are established in the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania. The Constitution stipulates that the state and the individual must protect the environment from harmful influences and the state shall take care of the protection of the natural environment, wildlife and plants, individual objects of nature and areas of particular value and shall supervise a sustainable use of natural resources, their restoration and increase. Environmental protection shall be based on comprehensive, correct and timely ecological information. The degradation of land, the pollution of water and air, radioactive impact on the environment as well as depletion of wildlife and plants are prohibited by law.
In 1996, the first Lithuanian Environmental Strategy and, in 1998, the Lithuanian Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan were developed. The current main strategic document for the environmental, as well as social and economic, development of the Republic of Lithuania is the National Sustainable Development Strategy, approved in 2003 and focused on long-term sustainable development of the Lithuania state and society until 2020. The main objective of sustainable development in Lithuania is to achieve the present EU average by 2020, according to the indicators for economic and social development as well as resource efficiency, and not to exceed the allowable EU standards, according to the indicators for environmental pollution, as well as to meet the requirements of international conventions limiting environmental pollution and effects on the global climate.
Furthermore, environmental policy in Lithuania is harmonised with EU policy and the respective rules and regulations.
The main legal act for environmental issues, the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on environment protection, defines environmental governance as the activities of national and municipal environmental authorities ensuring effective environment protection and the rational use of natural resources. The law states that, in the Republic of Lithuania, environmental governance is the concern and duty of the Parliament, the Government, the Ministry of Environment, and the municipalities at the respective levels.
The Parliament of the Republic of Lithuania sets the main guidelines for the national and international environmental policy of the state, and the government coordinates environmental laws, which are implemented by the Ministry of Environment as the main environmental governance institution, using various means and measures.
The means and measures foreseen in the environmental laws are managed and enforced, at the respective levels, by the Ministry of Environment and its subordinate institutions: the Regional Environment Protection Departments of the Ministry of Environment, the Environment Protection Agency, the State Service for Protected Areas under the Ministry of Environment, the Lithuanian Geological Survey under the Ministry of Environment and the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service under the Ministry of Environment.
The authorities of local municipalities implement environmental measures at municipal level.
The Law on environmental monitoring is the main national act establishing the environmental monitoring system in Lithuania. The current system includes three levels of environmental monitoring: national (state) monitoring, municipal monitoring and environmental monitoring of economic entities. The law assigns the responsibility for organising and coordinating national environmental monitoring to the Ministry of Environment. The measures listed in the Law on environmental monitoring are managed and enforced at the respective levels, mainly by the Environmental Protection Agency and other institutions under the Ministry of Environment.
Transformation from communist to democratic system
After Lithuania regained independence, the 50-year-old economic system, where the Lithuanian economy had been integrated with the economy of the Soviet Union, collapsed. The restoration of independence was followed by a sharp economic decline, hyperinflation and high unemployment. Later on, the recovering Lithuanian economy came under the negative influence of the economic crisis in Russia. From 1990, Lithuania changed its currency several times. In 1993, the national currency, the litas, was put into circulation. Having regained its statehood, Lithuania began building a democratic political system, free market economy and competent environmental institutions.
What have been the major societal developments?
Lithuania was occupied by the Soviet Union at the end of the Second World War. Following the declaration of the Soviet Republic of Lithuania, its government structure was brought into line with the USSR government structure and private property was abolished. All sectors of the economy underwent speedy restructuring based on the model of the Soviet Union, with disregard for the local conditions, historical traditions of the nation and economic efficiency. The forced appropriation of farmers' land and the restructuring of their farms into collective and soviet farms as well as the destruction of individual farmsteads were carried out. The launch of mass land reclamation and landscape management based on the principles of land management common to steppes contributed to increased pollution of water bodies with chemical substances, landscape degradation (straightening of small river beds, clearing of woodland and scrubland areas), the disruption of the water balance and the draining of marshes. All this led to the loss of some rare habitats sensitive to anthropogenic impacts and of fauna and flora species that had used those habitats. The greatest damages were inflicted on the biodiversity of wetlands and natural hay flood meadowland, and even habitats of mature forests suffered from the effects of Soviet targeted forest management. Over two-thirds of wetland habitats were destroyed in Lithuania. The regulation of small rivers and their dams blocked or shortened considerably many salmonid migration routes to spawning areas.
Construction of the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant was launched in 1977 and the world's most powerful nuclear plant was built in 11 years. Lithuania has developed the industries of agricultural product processing, agricultural machinery and feed production. The industries of building products, machine tools and radio engineering, machinery production and metal working, chemistry and energy as well as the communications system and the road network have experienced relatively extensive development.
The restoration of Lithuania's independence in 1991 resulted in the loss of suppliers of raw materials and sales markets. The available export markets for products disappeared and the domestic market was extremely small due to the decline in the real incomes of the population. Following the restoration of independence, some collective farms disintegrated, while others were reformed into agricultural companies. Some collective farmers regained their land and became individual farmers again. Privatisation of state property was conducted at a rapid pace.
Lithuania's GDP declined significantly after 1990. The deepest crisis hit the economy in 1992 where GDP fell by more than 21 %, compared to the previous years. GDP began growing again from 2000. In 2000–2004, the development of the economy was especially rapid, with average annual GDP change amounting to 6.7 %, and foreign trade turnover (of goods and services) increased 1.8 times. The global economic crisis from 2008 had an effect on the Lithuanian economy as well. At the end of that year, the global real-estate crisis, the tightening of the banks' lending policy and the elimination of real-estate benefits made the existing Lithuanian real-estate market bubble shrink. In addition, the volume of exports and production contracted, while unemployment increased.

The environmental policy of Lithuania is based on the National Sustainable Development Strategy where sustainable development is understood as a compromise between environmental, economic and social objectives of society that allows for the achievement of the general good for existing and future generations without exceeding the allowable limits for environmental impact.
Lithuania uses nuclear power to produce electricity, since this power is less polluting. However, large amounts of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel have built up at the nuclear power station. The share of nuclear power has shrunk in recent years, especially since the decommissioning of the first block of the plant in 1995, resulting in a lower volume of used nuclear fuel in the repository. The decommissioning of the second block is scheduled for 2009, and a new nuclear power plant is expected to appear by 2015. Rising oil prices have pushed up annual consumption of gas. The use of gas has reduced emissions of greenhouse gases and substances that contribute to acidification processes. In Lithuania, hydropower plants generate most 'clean' electricity. At present, renewable and local energy resources account for 8–9 % of all fuels used. Of renewable energy resources, wood is the most widely produced and used resource in Lithuania (about 9.50 TWh/year), while the rate of other resources is considerably lower, including straw (0.50 TWh/year) and fractions of landfill gas, geothermal power, wind energy and biofuels. However, municipal waste and solar energy are virtually unused.
The growth rate in the transport sector has a great effect on Lithuania's economic and social development and the quality of the environment. The most rapid development has occurred in road transport, but modernising the types of transport with a considerably lower environmental impact (railway and inland water transport) requires large investments. However, Lithuania is enlarging its network of motorways, improving their quality and capacity, and building bypass roads towards reducing urban air pollution and noise. The structure of motor fuels has undergone changes, showing the increasing share of diesel. However, the number of tracks for bicycles and roller skates is inadequate and the development of multimodal urban transport systems is sluggish. The accident rate on motorways is high and is actually not falling. However, the transport road network that is undergoing regular improvement may increase the level of fragmentation of Lithuania's natural areas.
The production of foodstuffs and beverages, tailoring of clothes, treatment and dying of hides, textiles and chemical products make up the largest share in the structure of product manufacturing and sales. According to raw material and energy efficiency of technologies used, these are low- or medium-technology industries that use relatively large quantities of energy.
Privatisation of industrial enterprises, the establishment of market economy and the introduction of taxes for natural resources and pollution of the environment have contributed to a significant increase in production efficiency at surviving enterprises, more efficient use of natural resources and lower pollution. Industries are introducing preventive environmental measures and cleaner production methods. These measures are taken with a view to reducing or eliminating waste and pollution and minimising the negative impact of production processes on human health and the environment. However, very few enterprises use secondary raw materials, while enterprises that use such materials mostly import them. Lithuania also feels the shortage of economic mechanisms that promote the use of local secondary raw materials.
In recent years, agricultural production in Lithuania has been dominated by animal production accounting for about 28 %, followed by the production of milk (around 22 %) and grain (16 %). The use of pesticides has declined more than five-fold over the last decade.
The use of mineral fertilisers has also decreased considerably. The leaching of mineral fertilisers, especially of nitrogen compounds, into shallow groundwater and surface water bodies as well as eutrophication of those water bodies have diminished significantly. As a result of the falling use of mineral fertilisers and pesticides, the levels of hazardous substances in agricultural products and foodstuffs have dropped, which has led to an improved quality of agricultural produce. The closure of the majority of large animal production complexes and the abandonment of production practices involving high animal concentration have contributed to considerably lower negative environmental effects, especially to reduced pollution of surface and shallow groundwater. The Government of the Republic of Lithuania supports the development of organic farms, the number of which is growing steadily.
About 70 % of all houses are connected to the centralised water supply system and some 50 % of all houses have district heating. However, district heating infrastructure is outdated and energy inefficient, with especially high heat losses in the distribution networks. Most blocks of flats and a large part of individual houses have very low thermal resistance and old and non-airtight windows, which demands more energy for heating (about 200 kJ for one degree per 1 sq. m daily on average) or by 2–2.5 times more than in most other EU Member States. Most cities and towns have centralised waste collection systems in place, while the container-based waste management system is being installed in villages.
The mild climate, natural landscape, abundant recreation resources and cultural heritage as well as the ethno-cultural identity of Lithuania provide favourable conditions for developing tourism and increasing employment and incomes. However, Lithuania's cultural and natural potential of tourism is currently not used to its full capacity due to the low level of information and tourism management as well as the slow development of incoming tourism. Lithuania is the only country in the Baltic Sea region that has no sea and coastal tourism as it has no developed passenger port and marina infrastructure. A system of inland water routes, quays and beaches has not been developed either. Countryside tourism is the most dynamically growing area of tourism at present. Another large untapped potential of countryside tourism services involves the surviving manor houses and watermills or windmills that can be adapted to tourist accommodation. Lithuania has prepared the Manor Restoration Programme for solving the issues of the use of manors for tourism and other activities.
What are the foreseen developments?
The area of urbanised land is growing regularly and now accounts for 10 % of the territory of Lithuania. Failure to prevent illegal construction, fragmented land management and chaotic developments may contribute to the destruction or alteration of some of Lithuania's most valuable landscapes, which could result in deteriorating conditions of biodiversity elements such as rare and endangered natural habitats and species that are especially sensitive to anthropogenic impacts.
The short Baltic Sea coastline of Lithuania only measures 90.6 km in length. Multiannual sea coast dynamics show that the coastal strip suffers from erosion, especially in the continental coastal area. Therefore, coastal degeneration processes are likely to expand on such strips. The heavy flow of holidaymakers in areas of intensive recreation has a highly negative effect on the conditions of the coast and especially on the dune ridges. As a result, recreation loads, the development of urbanisation, and climate change will promote the degradation of the dune ridges.
The biodiversity and natural resources of Lithuania are, and may in the future be, affected by the following developments: intensive wood harvesting and commercial silviculture; increased recreation loads; the development of the road network and more intensive transport; intensive hunting of wildlife and commercial fisheries; changes in agriculture, including intensification that involves the enlargement of arable land and sown grassland at the expense of natural meadowland, more intensive use of fertilisers and development of animal farms, and extensification which means loss of habitats of valuable hay meadowland due to withdrawal from farming, and water and air pollution from the industry, energy and agricultural sectors.
Lithuania devotes a great deal of attention to nuclear power. In 2007, the Parliament of Lithuania adopted the Lithuanian Energy Strategy where the strategic objective of building a new nuclear power plant by 2015 is defined as a priority. However, the protracted negotiations with the partners and the economic decline may alter this date. In the period between 2009 and the launch of the new nuclear power plant, the shortage of electricity will be covered mostly by burning fossil fuel. Higher loads will be imposed on the thermal power stations, which may affect not only energy prices but also the quality of Lithuania's air basin.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
