Morning, Folks
I just read this (mod, please reposition where you see fit)...I didn't find a thread matching under a 'Domino's ' search...
Sorry, but you've gotta sit through the ad to see the story and the slant the local news is taking. It almost sounds like they feel worse for the would-be robbers than the citizen who was forced to kill one of them.
Here is KMOV's account as printed. Different tone to the whole thing...
UPDATE: Police: Pizza delivery man who shot robber had conceal-carry permit
08:46 PM CST on Friday, December 28, 2007
Watch News 4 coverage
PAGEDALE, Mo. (AP/KMOV) -- Police say a pizza delivery man who shot and killed a robber did have a concealed - carry permit. Thursday evening two men tried to rob the Domino's pizza man after they called for a pizza to be delivered in Pagedale.
The driver opened fire killing Brian Smith, 19 of Ferguson. The second suspect ran off but was arrested Friday.
The driver has an out-of-state permit, but one officer says it should be valid in Missouri.
Neighbors say they heard at least five shots.
A source says Smith was carrying a cell phone, and the last call on his phone was reportedly made to the Domino's pizza.
The source also says Smith was carrying a toy gun, but the second suspect had a real gun and fired at least one shot.
Pretty cut and dried case of calling the driver in with the intent of robbing him. Well done, driver. I wonder if he is one of our forum peers and how he is faring today.

I will quit the DP and leave for good if just one person can provide a link
Submitted by 1777free4all on Sun, 09/30/2012 - 23:17That 3 corporations pulled their debate sponsorship because GJ is not allowed in the debates, and they did so as a "protest" as the thread ignorantly states.
I just need one quote or a link that states the reason why these corporations quit their sponsorship because gairy is not in the debates and they are protesting this!!!!lol.
Just one??
Any takers??
or is it a BIG LIE by a GJ supporter to mislead you here at the DP?
84 comments on this bogus thread and not ONE taker???
after several rounds on this thread, the GJ supporters have decided to talk about anything but the link I need, and the fact these corps DID NOT pull out because of anytype of protest or anything to do with GJ. They did not want to be involved in "partisan politics" is the closest Ive come but that is not a "protest".
There has been no link given, only SEVERAL distractions and deflections.
Not one link. The other thread has not changed and the GJ supporters have gotten behind the lie and are now defending it!!
Good luck to all of you who defend Gairy. He will need you.
This is so right on.
"I never had to make one excuse or lie for RP. Not ONE!"
You just summed up all of my frustration I've felt on the Daily Paul in the last few weeks/months. I cannot stand deliberate disinformation and I think it only harms our cause.
I wrote about it last week in this post...
Just one quote that states these corporations left because GJ is not in the debates and was a "protest" pull out.
Just one???
Im waiting for the truth. anyone???\
Does a GJ supporter have it in them to call foul, or will you try and continue the lies for votes??? Lets see what GJ supporters are made of .
I know what you all are made of, lets see if you admit it.
Theres one thing I hate it is a bald faced liar because bob45 was aware of this hours and hours ago, just after the post was made.
It was a belligerent lie
and why were at it, lets see how long the DP MODS lets this lie RIDE, on the front page.
"OH NO! He has a SON?" Neoconservatives and Liberals EVERYWHERE!

The GJ people are lying to themselves
If anyone thinks that the guy who had so little support in the Republican party, far less than Ron Paul, that he dropped out before the primaries and switched to a 3rd party that has only one elected legislature in the entire country (out of approximately 8,000 positions) has any chance at the presidency is delusional. There are lots of disinformation going around about a variety of topics. This GJ propaganda fits right in.
Instead of concentrating on local candidates and House and Senate seats it seems most of the conversation is wasted on GJ.
Justin Amash held a fundraiser in which someone was chosen to have dinner with him and Ron Paul, and it received practically no attention here. WTF is going on here?
This thread is doing it right!
The owner of the site is a liberal and wants libs with him.
This site was never conservative, small gvt blah b;lah and used RP's name for traffic and it grew, but now they dont know what to do..
They are on a wing and a prayer while spreading disinfo, truther stories, Paulfest, ufo stories etc etc... They duped us.
They never imagined this could happen, rp not win, or what happens after, but Paul announced his house resignation and sent heads spinning here! What were they to do with no more RP whos name they highjacked in the first place? Big mistake using his name with out permission- I think even they will admit to, but the blowback is here NOW and will cost, but how much is the question.
GJ gave a perfect cloaked switch over. Paulfest lies etc etc, even before the RNC in Tampa the site was switched fooling all Paul supporters less me and a few others.
now they have to magically become something very few here want- to survive.
after the the elections, the site will be sold or dissolved.
More lies and disinfo will ensue,
Thats my take on what happened. I will bet you anything Im pretty close and I also think RP actually was very mad about this and knows everything.
They can lie all they want about what happened because they know Paul will never dispute them.
Or will he?
"OH NO! He has a SON?" Neoconservatives and Liberals EVERYWHERE!

I have a chance to write in RP and will take it.

I love genealogy. My sister Valerie and I work on our different families' genealogies, pulling our resources together. I love roaming through the peaceful cemeteries looking for our ancestors. I am happy to be able to share this information with our relatives. I have printed out many different family genealogy reports and sent them to our relatives so that the information is shared. I am delighted to share some of this info online through the Find-a-grave website.

I was just reading the story of your grandparents. What a tragic story! Do you have any genealogy on back of the Emery family? My father's mother was an Emery.
I just finished re-editing (correcting type-o's) of Uncle Glen's first book. There's quite a lot of mentions of your grandfather, Raymond & Louise.

Hi Stephanie,
In getting back into genealogy, I finally realized from FINDAGRAVE that you are Lorin's daughter, right? I don't know if I just forgot that or am too old and senile to have figured it out. My sister, Nancy went to all the cousin Christmas parties in Portland before she moved here and so knew your dad (our cousin) better than I did. I had moved away in 1958 when I got married. Anyway, I wondered if you have copies of Uncle Glen's books which Dean & Elaine wound up with probably because they were into genealogy back then. Elaine gave me the books (I think the ones Ruby had redone for him) and photo copies of the pages which I returned to her or Beverly. I put them all on my computer and printed copied for my kids of the first book. Naomi later copied the book for her family. I never finished editing the other two books, but they are still on my computer. The first one is the most historical, as it talks about the first telephones, airplanes and automobiles as well as their first years in the sand hills of Nebraska. It has a lot of genealogy links in it also which I am going to start going over again and researching. The other two are mostly concerned with Glen's family (he and Lottie). If you would like them, I could e-mail them to you or put them on a CD and send them to you. They are in Word Perfect, so you may not be able to open them if you use Word. Anyway, let me know and I will get them to you if you don't already have them.

Cleveland Calvary Request
Just a friendly mid June reminder that we need plot info to fill your Cleveland Calvary request(s). We have less than 500 requests left but plot info for only 6% of those, having already filled the rest with plot info. We can't ask for plot info for more than 3 requests per week. Please call (216) 641-7575 and obtain plot info. We'd really appreciate it and will fill your request(s) soon after getting plot info. Thank you!

You've put in request(s) at Calvary in Cleveland. Several of us are actively working to clear the more than 715 requests. We've actually cleared close to 100 in the past week. With 400,000 burials if you could please obtain plot information AND a plot map one of us will be more likely to be able to fill the request, as the office will only give out a little information to each person. The office phone number is (216) 641-7575. On my page I have the plot maps listed that we already have which is quite a few. If the burial is in one of those sections we don't need another map, just the plot info on the request.
You can try to tell them you'll be visiting when they're closed, etc. So far everyone who's called has been successful in having a map mailed, a few e-mailed. If you get one let me know and I'll give you my e-mail address. With thousands of graves per section a plot map would be VERY helpful. Without plot information it's basically impossible.

RE: Our Myers Connection
'Sorry, Stephanie. I should have said that my great-great grandfather, Lorenzo W. Myers, was Ruth Ann's brother. He had a son, Charles Myers. The children I have listed for Surzardus and Maria were: Ruth Ann, Lucinda, Emiline (Emily), Lorenzo, Philander "Horton", Eleanor, and Emma E. I have a few dates and spouses' names. I think there may have been another son and daughter, based on census records. The only photos I have were of Lorenzo and Ruth (Trowbridge) Myers, and Merritt and Lucinda (Myers) Comstock. I was sent the first two photos by a distant cousin's wife. The latter two I found on a website on Ancestry.com. The person, I believe, had Rumrill family photos as well. You might check Rumrill family trees.

Stephanie, I don't know where this cemetery is, but I can find out. Ironically, our daughter and her husband live outside Cleveland. We go to Ohio and stay through the summer. If you wish, I can try and find those two graves.

Lewis Mumford, KBE (October 19, 1895 – January 26, 1990) was an American historian, sociologist, philosopher of technology, and literary critic. Particularly noted for his study of cities and urban architecture, he had a broad career as a writer. Mumford was influenced by the work of Scottish theorist Sir Patrick Geddes and worked closely with his associate the British sociologist Victor Branford.
Mumford was also a contemporary and friend of Frank Lloyd Wright, Clarence Stein, Frederic Osborn, Edmund N. Bacon, and Vannevar Bush.
Mumford was born in Flushing, Queens, New York, and graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1912.[2] He studied at the City College of New York and The New School for Social Research, but became ill with tuberculosis and never finished his degree. In 1918 he joined the navy to serve in World War I and was assigned as a radio electrician.[1][3] He was discharged in 1919 and became associate editor of The Dial, an influential modernist literary journal. He later worked for The New Yorker where he wrote architectural criticism and commentary on urban issues.
Mumford's earliest books in the field of literary criticism have had a lasting impact on contemporary American literary criticism. The Golden Day contributed to a resurgence in scholarly research on the work of 1850s American transcendentalist authors and Herman Melville: A study of His Life and Vision effectively launched a revival in the study of the work of Herman Melville. Soon after, with the book The Brown Decades, he began to establish himself as an authority in American architecture and urban life, which he interpreted in a social context.
In his early writings on urban life, Mumford was optimistic about human abilities and wrote that the human race would use electricity and mass communication to build a better world for all humankind. He would later take a more pessimistic stance. His early architectural criticism also helped to bring wider public recognition to the work of Henry Hobson Richardson, Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright.
In 1963, Mumford received the Frank Jewett Mather Award for art criticism from the College Art Association.[4] Mumford received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964.[1] In 1975 Mumford was made an honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire.[1] In 1976, he was awarded the Prix mondial Cino Del Duca.[1] In 1986, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts.[1]
He served as the architectural critic for The New Yorker magazine for over 30 years. His 1961 book, The City in History, received the National Book Award.[1][5]
Lewis Mumford died at the age of 94 at his home in Amenia, New York on January 26, 1990.[1] Nine years later it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. His wife Sophia died in 1997, at age 97.[citation needed]
Mumford believed that what defined humanity, what set human beings apart from other animals, was not primarily our use of tools (technology) but our use of language (symbols). He was convinced that the sharing of information and ideas amongst participants of primitive societies was completely natural to early humanity, and had obviously been the foundation of society as it became more sophisticated and complex. He had hopes for a continuation of this process of information "pooling" in the world as humanity moved into the future.[6]
Mumford's choice of the word "technics" throughout his work was deliberate. For Mumford, technology is one part of technics. Using the broader definition of the Greek tekhne, which means not only technology but also art, skill and dexterity, technics refers to the interplay of a social milieu and technological innovation—the "wishes, habits, ideas, goals" as well as "industrial processes" of a society. As Mumford writes at the beginning of Technics and Civilization, "other civilizations reached a high degree of technical proficiency without, apparently, being profoundly influenced by the methods and aims of technics."
In The Myth of the Machine Vol II: The Pentagon of Power (Chapter 12) (1970), Mumford criticizes the modern trend of technology, which emphasizes constant, unrestricted expansion, production, and replacement. He contends that these goals work against technical perfection, durability, social efficiency, and overall human satisfaction. Modern technology—which he calls 'megatechnics'—fails to produce lasting, quality products by using devices such as consumer credit, installment buying, non-functioning and defective designs, built-in fragility, and frequent superficial "fashion" changes. "Without constant enticement by advertising," he writes, "production would slow down and level off to normal replacement demand. Otherwise many products could reach a plateau of efficient design which would call for only minimal changes from year to year."
He uses his own refrigerator as an example, reporting that it "has been in service for nineteen years, with only a single minor repair: an admirable job. Both automatic refrigerators for daily use and deepfreeze preservation are inventions of permanent value.... [O]ne can hardly doubt that if biotechnic criteria were heeded, rather than those of market analysts and fashion experts, an equally good product might come forth from Detroit, with an equally long prospect of continued use."
Mumford describes an organic model of technology, or biotechnics, as a contrast to megatechnics. Organic systems direct themselves to "qualitative richness, amplitude, spaciousness, and freedom from quantitative pressures and crowding. Self-regulation, self-correction, and self-propulsion are as much an integral property of organisms as nutrition, reproduction, growth, and repair." Biotechnics models life in seeking balance, wholeness, and completeness.
A key idea, introduced in Technics and Civilization (1934) was that technology was twofold:
Mumford commonly criticized modern America's transportation networks as being 'monotechnic' in their reliance on cars. Automobiles become obstacles for other modes of transportation, such as walking, bicycle and public transit, because the roads they use consume so much space and are such a danger to people. Mumford explains that the thousands of maimed and dead each year as a result of automobile accidents are a "ritual sacrifice" the American society makes because of its extreme reliance on highway transport.
Also discussed at length in Technics and Civilization is Mumford's division of human civilization into three distinct Epochs (following concepts originated by Patrick Geddes):
Mumford also refers to large hierarchical organizations as megamachines—a machine using humans as its components. These organizations comprise Mumford's stage theory of civilization. The most recent Megamachine manifests itself, according to Mumford, in modern technocratic nuclear powers—Mumford used the examples of the Soviet and United States power complexes represented by the Kremlin and the Pentagon, respectively. The builders of the Pyramids, the Roman Empire and the armies of the World Wars are prior examples.
He explains that meticulous attention to accounting and standardization, and elevation of military leaders to divine status are spontaneous features of megamachines throughout history. He cites such examples as the repetitive nature of Egyptian paintings which feature enlarged Pharaohs and public display of enlarged portraits of Communist leaders such as Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin. He also cites the overwhelming prevalence of quantitative accounting records among surviving historical fragments, from ancient Egypt to Nazi Germany.
Necessary to the construction of these megamachines is an enormous bureaucracy of humans which act as "servo-units", working without ethical involvement. According to Mumford, technological improvements such as the assembly line, or instant, global, wireless, communication and remote control, can easily weaken the perennial psychological barriers to certain types of questionable actions. An example which he uses is that of Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi official who conducted logistics behind the Holocaust. Mumford collectively refers to people willing to carry out placidly the extreme goals of these megamachines as "Eichmanns".
One of the better-known studies of Mumford is of the way the mechanical clock was developed by monks in the Middle Ages and subsequently adopted by the rest of society. He viewed this device as the key invention of the whole Industrial Revolution, contrary to the common view of the steam engine holding the prime position, writing: "The clock, not the steam-engine, is the key-machine of the modern industrial age. [...] The clock [...] is a piece of power-machinery whose 'product' is seconds and minutes [...]."[7]
The City in History won the 1962 U.S. National Book Award for Nonfiction.[5] In this influential book Mumford explored the development of urban civilizations. Harshly critical of urban sprawl, Mumford argues that the structure of modern cities is partially responsible for many social problems seen in western society. While pessimistic in tone, Mumford argues that urban planning should emphasize an organic relationship between people and their living spaces.
Mumford uses the example of the medieval city as the basis for the "ideal city," and claims that the modern city is too close to the Roman city (the sprawling megalopolis) which ended in collapse; if the modern city carries on in the same vein, Mumford argues, then it will meet the same fate as the Roman city.
Mumford wrote critically of urban culture believing the city is "a product of earth ... a fact of nature ... man's method of expression."[8] Further, Mumford recognized the crises facing urban culture, distrusting of the growing finance industry, political structures, fearful that a local community culture was not being fostered by these institutions. Mumford feared "metropolitan finance," urbanisation, politics, and alienation. Mumford wrote: "The physical design of cities and their economic functions are secondary to their relationship to the natural environment and to the spiritual values of human community."[citation needed]
Suburbia did not escape Mumford's criticism either:
In the suburb one might live and die without marring the image of an innocent world, except when some shadow of evil fell over a column in the newspaper. Thus the suburb served as an asylum for the preservation of illusion. Here domesticity could prosper, oblivious of the pervasive regimentation beyond. This was not merely a child-centered environment; it was based on a childish view of the world, in which reality was sacrificed to the pleasure principle.[9]
Mumford's interest in the history of technology and his explanation of "polytechnics", along with his general philosophical bent, has been an important influence on a number of more recent thinkers concerned that technology serve human beings as broadly and well as possible. Some of these authors—such as Jacques Ellul, Witold Rybczynski, Richard Gregg,[10] Amory Lovins, J. Baldwin, E. F. Schumacher, Herbert Marcuse, Murray Bookchin, Thomas Merton, Marshall McLuhan, and Colin Ward[11]—have been intellectuals and persons directly involved with technological development and decisions about the use of technology.
Mumford also had an influence on the American environmentalist movement, with thinkers like Barry Commoner and Bookchin being influenced by his ideas on cities, ecology and technology.[12] Ramachandra Guha noted his work contains 'some of the earliest and finest thinking on bioregionalism, anti-nuclearism, biodiversity, alternate energy paths, ecological urban planning and appropriate technology."[13]
Mumford's influence is also evident in the work of some artists including Berenice Abbott's photographs of New York City in the late 1930s.[14]

A bike and SUV collide, and many lives change
Kris Miles sits back in his reclining wheel chair, his eyes closed or nearly closed, and no one knows what he's hearing, thinking or feeling.
The Columbian
Kris Miles sits back in his reclining wheel chair, his eyes closed or nearly closed, and no one knows what he's hearing, thinking or feeling.
He's big for a 14-year-old, nearly 6 feet 3 inches, a popular one-time class clown who still gets plenty of visitors from school.
While a student at W'yeast Middle School, he played baseball on two teams, weighed 170 pounds and dreamed of playing in the major leagues.
He was an awesome left-handed catcher and could steal a base, folks say.
Kris' parents, brothers and sisters are with him in the living room of their home in Cascade Park, and it's hard for a visitor to tell what he's aware of.
"He grunts and groans right now," says his stepmother, Shannon Miles, who hovers over him, speaking gently and carefully moving his head to one side. When he coughs up fluids, she comes to the rescue with a cloth.
Kris sleeps a lot and sometimes responds to his family with "uh uh" for no and "a huh" for yes.
But on a recent day, for the first time, he gave a loud "Yeah!"
"I was at the computer," says Shannon Miles. "I just about fell over. I said, 'Honey, did you hear that?'"
"Certain people he acknowledges," his father, Ken Miles says. "He'll blink or give me finger gestures."
Mackayla Samuelson, also 14, a friend from Wy'east, stops by to visit, as she often does. Sitting close to the wheelchair, she touches him. Just being near him makes her smile.
"He was very funny and could always make me laugh, just being him," she said.
One of Kris' favorite jokes was to hunker down when standing next to petite Mackayla. "Do I make you feel taller?" he'd say.
When Kris came home from the hospital on May 14, after 16 weeks, Mackayla gave him a mixed-breed pup, Kalli.
About 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 21, Kris was riding his little brother Logan's BMX-style bicycle along the west side of Southeast 136th Avenue, leaving nearby Wy'east for the day.
He was headed home, about two miles away, wearing bright clothing and a red backpack, pedaling north toward Seventh Street, a few blocks south of Mill Plain Boulevard.
Vancouver police say Kris was wearing two earbuds and listening to music as he neared the crosswalk.
Meanwhile, Andrea Dickinson of Vancouver, then 28, was driving a 1995 Chevrolet Blazer west on Seventh.
Police say she stopped at the four-way stop sign, then proceeded at normal speed through the intersection.
The streets were dry and visibility was excellent, with the sun still fairly high in the overcast sky, as Kris rode toward the crosswalk from Dickinson's left.
In a tragic accident that's hard to understand, the SUV hit Kris and the bike in the crosswalk and kept going.
Kris' backpack hit the hood, then he and the bike fell under the still-moving SUV, police say.
The Blazer went nearly 131 feet, dragging Kris and the bike, before it stopped.
It was an unusually long post-impact distance for the low speed Dickinson had been driving, said Officer Steve Capellas with the Vancouver Police Department.
Kris, who'd been run over by the SUV's wheels, was left on the road with massive head injuries, a broken thigh bone and a flattened arm.
He was rushed by ambulance to Southwest Washington Medical Center, then flown by Life Flight helicopter to Legacy Emanuel Hospital, a major regional trauma center in Portland.
The crumpled bike remained underneath the SUV as police taped off the street.
Two highly trained crash reconstruction specialists, Officer Paul Brewster and Capellas, went to the scene.
Two immediate questions troubled the officers:
Why didn't Dickinson see the large, brightly clad eighth-grader as he stood up on the bike's pedals and approached the crosswalk from her left?
And once she hit him, why didn't she stop sooner?
"We don't think she knew exactly what she hit," Capellas said later. "She knew she was dragging something with her vehicle because she felt it and she heard it."
Police still don't know why it took her so long to stop.
Dickinson was "devastated" by the crash and Kris' critical injuries, Capellas said.
As officers spoke with her at the scene, there was no indication she'd been drinking alcohol or using any drugs. Asked to voluntarily submit to a blood draw to make sure, she agreed.
Witnesses to the crash consistently said Dickinson hadn't been speeding or driving recklessly.
With no initial evidence that Dickinson had committed any crime, officers didn't arrest her or give her a ticket.
As the afternoon progressed into evening, the officers began a detailed examination of the sealed-off street, taking photos.
At times they crawled on their hands and knees to find bits of evidence along the path the Blazer took after the collision.
In the post-impact drag path, they found blood, scrapes in the pavement from the dragged bike, and fibers from Kris' clothing.
"We found pieces of the earbuds in the path," Capellas said.
Once such bits of evidence were found and marked, the officers brought out an instrument like those surveyors use, making horizontal and vertical measurements - accurate to a millimeter - of the SUV's position, the bike, the crosswalk and other evidence flowed into a handheld data collector at the scene.
The officers had known values of time and distance, including 97 feet from where Dickinson stopped at the four-way sign before hitting Kris. They calculated the SUV's speed at various points of its journey.
Speed and velocity can indicate whether there was any reckless or negligent driving.
"It can be a key factor in how we charge, criminally," Capellas said.
In the end, the range of estimated speeds, about 13 to 30 mph, was within legal limits for the street and avenue. Speed wasn't considered a cause of the crash.
Dickinson also allowed the officers to obtain her cell-phone records, to see if she'd been on the phone, and thus distracted, when she hit the boy.
Although Dickinson made calls after the crash, "She wasn't on the phone at the time of the crash," Capellas said.
The officers also took Dickinson's SUV to the scene and tested it. Had its throttle stuck or brakes failed?
"We were able to rule out anything mechanical, and this takes us now to just the human factors," Capellas said.
Tests of Dickinson's blood confirmed the officers' impression that she hadn't been drinking alcohol or taking drugs that would have impaired her driving.
She has good eyesight, no medical problems that would affect her driving and a good driving record, Capellas said.
The investigation had eliminated many possible causes of the crash.
One possibility remains, Capellas said: the front "A-pillar" that supports the Blazer's roof.
The driver-side roof support could have blocked Dickinson's view to her left as she accelerated at normal speeds from the stop sign toward the crosswalk.
"He was traveling at the exact speed for him to be hidden by the A-pillar, even on his bicycle," Capellas said. "It's a pretty strong possibility, because we've eliminated everything else."
Sadly, Dickinson might have seen the boy if she'd just moved her head to look around the A-pillar as she approached the crosswalk, Capellas said. That must be done, particularly near schools, he said.
Kris, too, might have avoided the crash by paying more attention, Capellas said.
"Both the driver and the bicyclist should be looking for each other," he said. "They should never assume that the other one has seen them. They should anticipate they haven't."
Wearing a helmet also would have lessened Kris' injuries, Capellas said.
In sending his report of the crash to prosecutors, Officer Brewster recommended that no criminal charges be filed against Dickinson. He recommended she be cited for second-degree negligent driving, an infraction that carries a possible fine of $550.
The Columbian was unable to reach Dickinson for comment.
The crash shattered the lives of Kris and his family.
Ken Miles, a former Jiffy Lube shop manager, now works only part time and devotes most of his time to Kris, who underwent major brain and other surgeries before coming home.
Shannon Miles manages a Blockbuster store in Vancouver.
Every few hours, the father uses a machine that pumps food and medicine through a tube into the boy's stomach.
Kris has to be showered, bathed and changed, and his legs and arms must be moved to stretch the muscles so they won't tighten up. Soon, he'll have to be shaved.
He now weighs about 140 pounds including leg casts.
Will he ever walk again, or speak and respond better to his family and friends?
"We honestly don't know what tomorrow will bring with him," Ken Miles said. "I wish I could say he'll walk in six months."
"I kind of wonder how much one kid can go through," Shannon Miles said. "He's a trouper."

Quoted from BuzyBee I need to try you way of cooking collards because my last experience took forever. I used fresh collards from produce and cooked in the crock pot for 10 hrs. My questions to you are: How much water, stock, or broth did you use. Did the liquid completely cover the collards. What was the size of your pyrex dish. And you say 354 for 2 hrs.
Quoted Text Posted by: funkymuse Date Posted: April 9th, 2007, 10:53pmWhat do collard greens taste like?
Quoted from Jill_Owen Peppermint Twist - Thanks sooo much for sharing your recipe and your wonderfully descriptive written account of the making and enjoying of it!!! ...Before BTD I didn't realize what wonderful foods I was missing out on thinking I didn't like them (namely Kale).
Quoted from Mrs_T_O+ My Greek husband likes them with lemon & olive oil. They are a regular around here. Sea Salt & Light,Mrs "T" O+
Quoted from ion_amygdalou Would you please ask me what is the greek word for Collards?I am trying so long time to solve this problem out and I would be happy to find out what is all about.Thanks. Ion
Quoted from Possum So what are chollard greens in NZ?Aus? I know they are between kale & cabbage & associated with broccoli - they look just like the tops of broccoli They are the highest thing next to kale itself in Vit K & I would love to get me some Not sure, being from the brassica family tho', exactly how they will like me...
Quoted from Chloe Here's an image page for collard...Perhaps something will look familiar to you http://www.google.com/search?q.....iw=1780&bih=1064
Quoted from Possum Thanks but no nothing like that here
Quoted from Possum It seems there is not only no name for these(collard greens) in NZ/Australia, but they can't even be bought? Any more opinions from people "downunder" on here?
Quoted from Brighid45 StarPine, I do the same thing using collard leaves as wraps. Cook them until they're pliable and soft but not too soft, then fill them with anything you can think of. My favorite: browned ground lamb/turkey/lean beef and grilled vegetables or caramelized onions with some hot sauce. So good!

If you're searching for the perfect wedding-reception dessert, forget sophistication and think like a five-year-old. That's the message from Liz O'Brien of Camerio's Bakery, who has catered hundreds of nuptials. "What is really trending and popular right now is popcorn, carmel corn, a sweet and salty kettle corn. Anything marshmallowy. I use a lot of hand-rolled caramel. And then s'mores, cupcakes, cotton candy—kind of going back to that retro taste, happy memories of our childhood," she tells The Wedding 101 Show host David Rothstein. "One of my favorite things when I'm at an event is watching both the youngest guests and oldest guests come up to the table and go, 'Oh my god! This stuff brings back such memories of places I used to go with my mom.'"

text: I think before any of this was aired they should have looked into what the school is really doing and who it is that is making this crazy assumption. You can't just believe the one parent that is complaining. I don't think that anything should change because one parent feels like complain because they have nothing better to do. If what he is saying is true his daughter would have been playing in the playground as well. How sad that our kids efforts are going to go unseen because of stupidity.

Our country home has become our retreat, a place to unwind and recharge .We love to get out of the city and into the sunshine and slower pace of the country.

We found this property by chance on a business trip to Carmel. Once the realtor opened the gate to the property and we saw the beautiful meadow filled with lupine, poppies and ancient oak trees we knew we were home.
We love the quiet. You will notice when you first get out of the car the only sound you hear is the crickets and the frogs. We love the views of the valley, watching the finger of fog moving in and out of the valley below in the early morning or evening. We love eating dinner out on our deck in the soft candlelight on a warm night. We love to drive into Carmel to walk on the beach at sunset.

 Toronto Blue Jays Vs Detroit Tigers 2009.04.07 -- Rod Barajas's Walk-off Sacrifice Fly!! WOW! Great seats! Loved the celebration at the end!!
Not being from Toronto, I was totally caught off guard when they did the 'OK Blue Jays' song in the 7th inning. My brother and I were thinkin' what the heck?! It's tradition though apparently. Had the whole stadium dancing and singing along - totally corny...but catchy haha.
I'm a die hard baseball fan and ofcourse a HUGE Bluejay fan, but the Jays fans are the least enthusiastic baseball fans in all of baseball. The hot dogs are good!!!
I went to a game in toronto at the rogers centre. it's cool because it's the first stadium in baseball with an open and closed roof. The first thing I noticed was the size of the place, and as a baseball purist the last thing you want is to feel like you're in a video game. That's the feeling I got from this place. You're far away from the field, the fans think they're in a library, and it just doesn't give you that feeling that you're at a ball game. It's a cool place to check out on a nice afternoon for a game, but any true ball fan will see right through it.

Officers on desk duty
following Connecticut shooting
[New Haven, CN]
On Dec. 19 Officers Dennis O'Connell and Makiem Miller, of the Street Interdiction Unit, chased Smith into a vacant lot where the suspect allegedly turned a pulled a handgun, police spokesman Sgt. Paul Vance told the Hartford Courant.
O'Connell fired multiple shots. Vance told the newspaper that it was unclear if the suspect fired at all. Miller did not fire any shots.
Vance described Smith as a repeat offender whose crimes have ranged from drug dealing to robbery to assault of a police officer. He completed his last prison term in October, according to Department of Corrections spokeswoman Christina Polce.
"He's been in and out of our system since 1986," Polce told the Courant.
No formal charges have been filed in the shooting.

Alice Chavunduka: Media industry salutes fallen TV presenter
Cape Town, South Africa - Tributes have continued to pour in for popular television news anchor, Alice Chavunduka, who died Sunday after suffering an epileptic seizure in Johannesburg a week earlier, PANA reported from here Wednesday.
The Zimbabwean-born media personality died at the age of 46.
She was reportedly discovered unconscious at her residence and rushed to hospital where she spent days in a comma.
Alice, the daughter of the late Professor Gordon Chavhunduka a renowned academic and former University of Zimbabwe Vice Chancellor, had earlier been involved in two serious accidents that are believed to have triggered the epileptic seizures.
She made South African television history by becoming the first black female news anchor on the South African Broadcasting Corporation's main news channel which had only featured white presenters throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
But all that changed in 1992 when she teamed up with news readers Jane Hicks and Anand Naidoo for a news programme which was broadcast to millions of homes.
She subsequently became the popular presenter of the SABC's morning breakfast show, Good Morning South Africa.
She remained a popular radio and television presenter until her death.
Her meteoric rise began at the age of 12 when she became Zimbabwe's youngest presenter ever of children's radio programmes on the Zimbabwean Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC).
SABC television news and current affairs editor Amina Frense said Chavanduka would be sorely missed, adding that she had "set the bar and raised the standards".
Peter Ndoro, another presenter who also hails from Zimbabwe, said she had single-handedly broken down racial barriers.

Hand-painted signs greet passersby at Schellville Grill's cozy roadside shack, hinting that homemade meals await inside. Though the restaurant's façade emanates a rustic vibe, the kitchen teems with formal expertise from the Culinary Institute of America, owner Matthew Nagan's alma mater. Here, Matthew rubs beef tri-tips in a mélange of dried chipotle, natural smoke flavor, and hand-ground black pepper, marinates them for 24 hours, then grills them over hot coals, hickory chips, and dried wine vines. This sweet and spicy meat stars in several house specials, including a ranchero quesadilla and a sandwich that's lured Food Network's Guy Fieri to Matthew's smokehouse.
On a flower-lined patio, diners pair live music and local wine with gourmet sweets from Matthew's sister, Emily. Available in flavors such as chocolate zinfandel and espresso cinnamon, whole cakes can be ordered for pickup or enjoyed at private parties in the restaurant's dining room or safe deposit box.
The chefs at Eddie's Pizza forge a menu's worth of classic pies and assemble an array of catering trays filled with family-style Italian eats. A duet of regular pizzas arrives studded with traditional toppings such as pepperoni, extra cheese, or meatballs, and a dozen garlic knots befuddle even the most nimble-fingered Boy Scout. An accompanying two liters of soda put out mouth's rooftop fires. Alternately, creations from the catering menu satisfy groups with half trays, serving six–eight people, and full trays, serving 8–10.
At Mamma Cucina's, murals of terra-cotta-roofed buildings and climbing vines create the illusion that guests are dining in an Italian courtyard. Plates brimming with pastas, marsalas, and calzones contribute to the impression that they are on a Mediterranean vacation; pizzas prepared in the style of Naples or Sicily can be devoured on the spot or shipped home as large, edible postcards.
Michael Zachary's - Pizza, Burgers, Authentic Gyros, Ice Cream combines four of the most delicious foods known to humankind. The menu is full of pizzas crowned with meatballs, sausage, and veggies; sandwiches stuffed with ground steak; and ice cream loaded with candies and toppings.
Cooks at Michael Anthony's Pizza kick out authentic Italian favorites such as chicken, veal, and seafood dishes as well as pasta and pizza. Breaded cutlets of chicken or veal parmigiana overflow with layers of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, while the broiled shrimp oregenata comes dressed in rich helpings of garlic and lemon. Pastas such as penne, rigatoni, and six-cheese pasta purses are prepared with sun dried tomatoes, prosciutto, and vegetables tossed in cream sauces or baked with sausage and peppers. The kitchen also kicks out pizzas, including a gluten-free variety, as well as American dishes such as chicken cordon bleu and NY strip steaks. On Friday nights, guests can enjoy live entertainment while they dine.
For more than 50 years, Albert's Pizza's chefs have been prepping pies a little differently: they layer the cheese beneath the sauce, where it melts and merges with the crust. That crust is housemade each day, forming entire pies as well as square slices for purchase. You can customize your pizza or go with a gourmet option, many of which come with toppings that evoke Italian dishes. For example, there's a baked-ziti pizza, a fettucine-alfredo pizza, and a lasagna pizza along with classic meat lovers' and hawaiian variants.
The menu also features sandwiches, calzones, pasta dinners, and sliders, small versions of sandwiches served in 3- or 6-packs. None of Albert's extra food in the kitchen goes to waste?the staff donates the surplus to Island Harvest, an organization dedicated to hunger-relief efforts throughout Long Island.

With Fernando Torres on form for the Blues and Radamel Falcao firing for Atletico, Adam Bate is expecting action at both ends in Monaco on Friday
Up until three months ago, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid were two of the few teams to have won the Super Cup but not the big one itself. That changed when the Blues stunned Bayern Munich in their own stadium in May.Chelsea showed a remarkable aptitude for getting the job done in cup ties last season and will no doubt view this contest in the same vein as Roberto Di Matteo targets his third trophy within six months of taking the reins at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are 5/4 (2.25) with Paddy Power to win the match inside 90 minutes and 8/13 (1.62) to run out victors with the help of extra-time or by virtue of penalties.
But Atletico won this trophy as recently as 2010 and it's worth remembering that Diego Simeone's side finished fifth in La Liga while winning the Europa League last season – one place higher than Chelsea managed in the Premier League.
Atletico are 21/10 (3.10) with Paddy Power to win in normal time and 6/5 (2.20) to be the team lifting the trophy at the end of the night. The draw is available at 23/10 (3.30).
In the goalscorer markets, Fernando Torres is the favourite to open the scoring and that's understandable given that he appears to be revelling in the service that Eden Hazard is providing. Torres is 11/2 (6.50) with Paddy Power to score first in this one against his former club.
Chelsea are also likely to include new signing Cesar Azpilicueta in their line-up – the right-back is 50/1 (51.00) to score first but with just two career goals to his name that may be one to avoid.
But one man who cannot be ruled out is Atletico forward Radamel Falcao. The Colombian has not only scored and won his two previous European finals but was also named man of the match.
He's 6/1 (7.00) to open the scoring here but those long-shot punters out there might instead fancy a nibble at the industry-best price of 80/1 (81.00) for a Falcao hat-trick in Monaco.
The 26-year-old has achieved the feat three times in La Liga in the past year as well as bagging three European hat-tricks in one season for Porto in 2010-11. It's the value bet in this one.
Part of the reason for that is John Terry's absence through suspension. While Chelsea coped admirably without him in Munich, this is likely to be a more relaxed occasion and that could mean goals.
Both teams scored four goals in their last home game and with that kind of firepower available the price of 10/11 (1.91) with Paddy Power for over 2.5 goals here makes that the pick of the bets.

I have been shopping for a backpack vacuum cleaner, and Pro-Team seems to be the biggest supplier.
I'm now living in a small old house with small rooms, with hardwood floors with area rugs and one good-sized room with ceramic tile. Dragging a canister vac around the house is driving me crazy. After looking at all the Pro-Team backpack vacs, I'm now thinking that the small hipstyle vac may be enough for my needs and would me more versatile. Looking at these specifications for the Tailvac, in your opinion, how does this compare to your average canister vac for performance: Tailvac Specifications:

I would not buy a vacuum cleaner that does not come with a HEPA filter. Without one, you're just pumping dust right back into the air. The state of the art technology calls for a HEPA filter. Buying a unit without one is just a mistake. |
Good point. According to their website, the HEPA version won't be available until January. |
Here is a link that might be useful: HEPA version
Graywings Are you going to keep your Dyson for carpets and use the Backpack on bare floor? The vac you are looking at is suction only and will not have a beater bar for deep cleaning of carpets. (You also mentioned you are tired of dragging a canister around??? I thought you had the DC07?) |
I left the Dyson DC07 at my previous house with my now ex-husband. I don't anticipate having enough carpeting here to need it - but I can get it if I need it. And in any event, the Dyson upright is not a good match with oriental area rugs. I am currently using my Dyson DC11 canister - their earliest canister model, it has an air-driven beater bar. It's a workhorse - I'm using it as a standard vacuum cleaner for carpeting and hardwood and slso for jobs for which you would normally grab a shopvac. But I hate pulling a canister around the house. I hear you on the issue of deep cleaning the carpeting. But I would need to get into a bigger backpack model for an air driven beater bar. Can you give me a sense of the power of the Tailvac compared to something on the general market? |
I, too, am shopping around for a ProTeam Quartervac for use on both carpet and hardwood floors. I'm having trouble, tho, locating the power nozzle. It's not even on ProTeam's website. Is "power nozzle" a generic term? Also, I saw that the ProTeam Sierra was recommended, but I can't find that model on the ProTeam website either. As for suction power, I've been trying to figure that out and am sick of trying! Sheesh. My new, huge Shopvac is 5.5 HP and my Electrolux is 12 amp, but I can't figure out how to convert one to the other for comparison's sake. Both have good suction (but everything else on Electrolux is crap). |
Por-team's website doesn't seem to show a powered carpet brush. They offer a turbo brush, which is air driven. It is easy to compare the ProTeam products to one another, but HP to amps to watts - I can't figure it all out. I've decided on the Hipster Super Halfvac, which comes out in January. I've contacted ProTeam, and they tell me I can order a turbo brush and wand separately to use with it. Their customer support people have been helpful to me. Try e-mailing them with your questions. |
How far did you look into the ProTeam Packs? I heard good things about them and just posted looking for anyones opinion/experience with the proteam packs. My wife Jenny and I are looking to purchase a pack-vac and are trying to decide before we pull the trigger on the old pocket book. The Super Coach 6 seemed to fit our bill pretty well but we were also looking to see if Dyson had anything comparable. We're open to suggestions other than pain relievers. Graywings did you end up making a final decision!? |

why are these glasses so expensive if they are not polarized?
Angus Bohanon
Because they're Oakley, you're paying for the name.
Niall MacRae
Oakley have always been a bit expensive, but part of that is that they have some of the most visually correct lenses on the market. Oakley's optics have been based on very precise lens curvatures to make the image you see through them as close as possible to the image you see without them on. Lenses that are curved, but not with any precision or care, will tend to distort and/or magnify what you see through them. I read an aviation magazine last year that ranked Oakley near the top of lens quality, out of almost 40 brands.
All that mumbo-jumbo is to say that you are getting a little of what you are paying for in the lenses. You are also paying for style and the Oakley logo as well, but they are good sunglasses, and if you like them and are going to be wearing them a lot, they might be worth it for you. Hope that helps!

How does the women's fit compare to asian fit?
The Asian fit Oakleys generally have a wider fit across the nose.
So I got these like two weeks ago, and they haven't left my face ever since. The detailing looks a little different in person than it does in the picture. I have the caramel ones, and the detailing is gold (shiny) with some little swirly lines in it. In the picture it looks more deeply engraved than it really is. The design is still pretty flashy. The lenses are good for days when you have the sun out, but it's not extremely bright. They're also pretty light, not as light as Omatter, but not as heavy as that alloy wire stuff (Darts). They're slightly big for my small face, but not too bad (probably perfect for a medium sized face).

The Sarasota Orchestra began its "Portraits in Passion" series Saturday evening with what looked like a sold-out audience at the Sarasota Opera House, which proves that if you've got the goods — even in early September — you'll draw a crowd.
And did they ever have the goods!
"Portraits" is something like a mentors and protégés program featuring members of the Sarasota Orchestra, who share their stories about their favorite teachers and how they got where they are today.
Keith Carrick, the orchestra's principal percussionist, was the first in the spotlight following the ensemble's rousing and romantic performance of Berlioz's "Roman Carnival Overture," under the direction of Leif Bjaland. Carrick appeared in the Concerto for Marimba and String Orchestra by the contemporary French composer, Emmanuel Séjourné. After an opening somewhat swiped from the slow movement of Poulenc's Concerto for Two Pianos, the rarely spotlighted marimba took on a life of its own and showcased Carrick's virtuosity and sensitivity, while giving Bjaland and his band a chance to show off their extraordinary accompanying skills.
Assistant concertmaster Jennifer Best and principal bassist John Miller were up next for an awe-inspiring performance of Giovanni Bottesini's "Grand Duo Concertante." Known as "The Paganini of the Double Bass," Bottesini took Miller through some breathtaking passages, especially in the harmonics-packed cadenzas, which shed an entirely new light on the granddaddy of the orchestra, while Best showed her best with an absolutely beautiful tone and impeccable pitch.
Georges Hüe, a French composer who studied with Gounod and Franck and lived well into the mid-20th century, wrote the vehicle used by Sarasota Orchestra principal flutist Betsy Hudson-Traba. Hüe's "Fantaisie," in the hands of Hudson-Traba, was a nice piece of fluff that took on a bit more dimension because of her excellent technique and musicality.
And then there was principal tuba player Jay Hunsberger who proved, once again, that his instrument does much more than oom-pah-pah. In his words, "There is no life before the tuba." Playing a work by Jan Bach that was commissioned for him by the orchestra a few years ago, Hunsberger brought humor, warmth and skill to this wonderful concerto that was a joy to hear again.
The entire orchestra was shown off in the grand finale, Rimsky-Korsakov's "Russian Easter Overture."
Throughout this innovative evening, unobtrusive cameras did their work, ferreting out solo lines played in the interior of the orchestra and allowing us to get an up-close look at soloists' fingers, hands and embouchures that made this concert a true portrait of passion. It's good to live in the 21st century with a truly up-to-date hometown orchestra.

In early September, just as the first signs of fall nip at the landscape around the quiet pond and the rolling vineyard?that's when the time is right for Miracle Valley Vineyard to harvest the grapes that will become its estate-grown cabernet franc. But as is so often the case with wine, patience in consuming it is rewarded. The cabernet franc's enticing bouquet of raspberries and violets gives way to a rounded mouthfeel, which balances the ripe fruit flavors with its restrained tannins. During the rest of the year, customers could stick to one of the vineyard's half-dozen other wines, including an off-dry ros? with a lingering sweetness to match its pink hue.
The wine is the main attraction at Miracle Valley, but the grounds are just as enticing. The winery frequently hosts graduations, rehearsal dinners, and other gatherings for up to 50 people, not to mention group tastings in a tasting room that overlooks the lush scenery. While guests are there, they can stroll the territory, perhaps stumbling across bullets from the Civil War raids that took place in the area.
On a stroll through Cobbler Mountain Cellars' winery, one might come across owners Jeff and Laura McCarthy Louden guiding visitors to the cozy tasting room. There, the married vintners describe taste-size samples from their reserve, such as an oak-and-stainless-aged Chardonnay or a Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of dark cherry and tobacco. The winery's 2011 Meritage won the gold medal award at the Virginia Wine 2014 Governor's Cup Awards while their Hard Apple Cider took home the silver medal at the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition in 2014. The Loudens pair their estate wines with samples of local artisanal cheeses and croissants that can be purchased on site.
The pumpkin patch at Hollin Farms contains ten acres of fresh-grown, highly pickable pumpkins. Adopt a lonely uncarved jack-o'-lantern ($.50 a pound), or invite a pie-worthy pumpkin to holiday dinner ($.70 a pound). Fall greens such as turnips, mustard greens, kale, bok choy, radishes, and lettuce ($2 a pound) complement autumn crops of yellow gourds and juicy red apples; pick an unpickled peck for $8 (roughly 32 apples). A lifetime of penciled practice on the backs of cereal boxes couldn't even prepare visitors for the five-acre amazing maze of maize, a free corn labyrinth housed on the premises. For a preview of what to expect around the farm, check out this moving-picture preview.
Bearing the surname of the wealthy, 17th-century Virginian Robert "King" Carter, owner Philip Carter Strother?Robert?s direct descendant and a 12th-generation Virginian?strives to keep his family?s deep winemaking roots alive at Philip Carter Winery. Robert?s sons, Charles and Landon, made wine from the grapes they cultivated on the grounds of their plantation in the mid 1700s, driven by a 1619 law that required all Virginian landowners to maintain at least 10 vines and one three-cornered hat. But the Carters took it further than that, eventually planting 1,800 vines along the banks of the Rappahannock River by 1754.
Fast-forward more than 250 years to 2008, when 27 acres overlooking the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains were purchased. There, Philip Carter Strother would oversee the planting of 1,800 vines in a symbolic nod to his ancestors. Today, daily tastings, educational sessions, tours, and corkscrew lessons take place to let guests peruse the vineyard's rousing [collection of vintages] that helped garner the honors of a Gold for Best Wine Tour in Virginia and Silver for Best Winery in Virginia from Virginia Wine Lover Magazine (http://gr.pn/LS3IXr). Acclaimed wines include the full-bodied flagship 2010 Cleve blend, winner of a 2013 Virginia Governor's Cup gold medal, the 2011 Gov. Fauquier chardonnay, and the bright, acidic 2012 Rosewell.

Hidden among Strasburg's thicket of spindly trees, patchy grass, and dirt fields, castles and wooden forts stand strong while flying saucers hint of an alien invasion. This is all part of Skyline Paintball's battlefield landscape, which includes twelve fields such as Mars Attacks and Frontier Fort. Before slinking through trenches and underground bunkers, players load up on fresh paintballs by Kee and GI Sportz, sold by Skyline onsite. Refs oversee matches to ensure everyone understands the finer techniques of pointillism and that no one uses a marker that fires faster than 280 feet per second. Less experienced players who rent equipment play in separate games from more experienced players who own their equipment, helping ensure games are evenly matched. Players can walk on during open play each Saturday and Sunday during which up to 20 players can sling rainbows of paint throughout strategy-laden matches. For paintless competitions, Skyline also hosts laser tag sessions.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Here is the essay without images. feedback greatful
I don't approve of using a serif italic with a low x-height as the complementary italic for a sans-serif face with a large x-height.
Right now, it seems to be just beginning to take shape. But I think you are starting with the most important points.
These certainly are key points.
The fact that Optima doesn't turn out well even at the higher resolutions of laser printers, due to the subtleties of its flare serifs, as Hermann Zapf himself noted, may be wroth a mention. As well, one might note how fonts were imitated with different names even for hot metal typesetters and later phototypesetting, but this is now aggravated.
Except for unusual cases like Optima, of course, access to the typographical resources of the past has been broadened, and this too is an important effect.
Have you talked about how digital fonts being scalable they
make people not realize that optical scaling is important?
i have not really hrant but i might if i have time, i'm a little pushed at the moment. Thanks quadibloc so much, noted.
unfortunatly i have a restriction of 4000 words so I cannot go into great detail
I have now updated my essay and plan to finish it tomorrow morning. I still have quite a bit to write, so and critique or guidance welcome.

Violent Crime in Front of Minors Adds Prison Time
By Don Rush
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - The House of Delegates has passed a measure to increase penalties for someone who commits a crime of violence in front of a minor.
The House approved the bill 132-0 on Monday. It would apply to people who commit a violent crime in front of a minor who is at least 2 years old and younger than 16.
The measure is the top legislative priority of Attorney General Doug Gansler.
Under the bill, a person would be eligible to up to five years additional imprisonment for committing a violent crime before a minor.
Supporters say dozens of studies on child development have shown that viewing or hearing domestic violence can have a long and devastating effect on a child.
The measure now goes to the Senate.

Im looking to buy a 12ga. I already have an old single shot, Western Auto 12ga, but its more of just a toy that I got from a friend for buying him dinner because he needed extra space.
My new 12ga will be used as a range toy (Id love to try shooting clays/skeets, never have), and as a defensive weapon for my house. The only "modern" 12ga that Ive fired any real amount of rounds out of is my friends Mossberg 500. Its nice and all, but he seems to have tons of problems with it not ejecting properly. Ive fired probably 30-40 rounds through it, and Ive never had a problem, who who knows.
Im quite interested in the Remington line. The 870 seems to be the standard all others are judged by. I would like a good aftermarket (options to change stock from regular sporting stock, to a tactical stock, to pistol grip, to whatever), reasonable capacity (5-6 shots in the tube would be great), and a 3" chamber. I shot a Mossberg with a 3.5" shell, and it was pretty cool, but for the range/self defense, Im not sure Id be willing to give up any of my other requirements to gain it. Is there anyway to get something like an 870 Tactical Express Magnum and get a tube extension? I feel like this would be the solution to the problem.
Or if anyone who is more experienced with shotguns has any other similarly value-minded suggestions (not trying to spend $1,000 on a shotgun) about what other sort of gun would fit the bill, Id love to hear about them.
