Rohingya cast out of fire, into the frying pan

When Hussein cooks, the whole community rubs its stomach and rejoices. The Rohingya's kitchen repertoire of Burmese, Bangladeshi, Pakistani and northern Indian hybrids - it's hard to classify the origin of his menu of dry-fried ribs, complexly spiced curries, mutton biryani and other marvels - is a feast at Islamic functions and wedding ceremonies in a Bang Rak soi.
During Ramadan, Hussein, a chef at Haroon Mosque on Charoen Krung, rolls out masterpieces for a few hundred souls who gather each evening, while in other months his big iron pots (his WMD; Weapons of Mass Delicacy) are kept on fire by orders from locals.
Hussein, 50, is what we can call a luckier Rohingya. He has a Myanmar passport and a Thai residence visa, and although he emigrated to Bangkok over 10 years ago, he still goes back to visit his family in Yangon a couple of times a year.

Do you believe it needs to cost more to design and build a "green" building compared to a "non-green" building?

Support bar for mounting the Raspberry Pi on a flat surface.

Nice little addition, fits right to the bottom of the board to protect it from any shorts or issues while on the bench, I like it for use with expansion boards like the ALaMode board which makes it to tall to fit most cases and also makes either board inaccessable being enclosed in a case.

Hi Guys
I trying to clone DynamicBlockProperty from a file to the current drawing
Using VB or C#.Net.
How to resolve it ?
Are you trying to clone the property or perhaps the entire block definition. Either way, I'd start by loading the source drawing into a temp cad database. Then finding the block definition.
''' <summary> ''' Finds / inserts a block definition from file. ''' </summary> ''' <param name="strSourceBlockName">Name of inserted block</param> ''' <param name="strSourceBlockPath">Name of block's dwg file</param> ''' <returns>BlockTableRecord of the found/inserted block</returns> ''' <remarks>If block is not found, then an error is thrown, and nothing is returned.</remarks> Public Function GetBlock(ByVal strSourceBlockName As String, ByVal strSourceBlockPath As String, ByRef db As Database, ByRef mTrans As Transaction) As BlockTableRecord Dim oid As ObjectId = Nothing Dim btr As BlockTableRecord = Nothing Dim bt As BlockTable = db.BlockTableId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead) If bt.Has(strSourceBlockName) Then btr = bt(strSourceBlockName).GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead) Else Using trans As Transaction = mTrans.TransactionManager.StartTransaction Using sourcedb As Database = New Database(False, False) Try sourcedb.ReadDwgFile(strSourceBlockPath, IO.FileShare.Read, True, "") oid = db.Insert(strSourceBlockPath, sourcedb, True) btr = trans.GetObject(oid, OpenMode.ForWrite, True, True) btr.Name = strSourceBlockName trans.Commit() Catch ex As System.Exception Throw New System.Exception("Block file not found " & strSourceBlockPath & ": ", ex) End Try End Using End Using End If Return btr End Function
Once you have the source database loaded get the block or block reference and start working on it.
Will Try and post the result back

I actually had this idea about six months ago, which I'm not going to have
time to write the software for in the foreseeable future, called MusiCVS.
Basically it would be a way for musicians collaborating on a project to
upload their tracks in some lossless format like SHN, and download Ogg
streams of mixes of the other collaborators' tracks to play to, like a guide
vocal except with other instruments. Ogg has this ability to store a high
bandwidth version of something and strip out a lower bandwidth version for
streaming or whatever, but more interesting is the possibility of allowing
people to actually mix the other collaborators' tracks together using some
web interface that lets you preview your mixes using streaming Oggs. None of
the original files would ever be altered so if people disagreed on a mix you
could have multiple mixes.
It was kind of an ambitious idea and would still be fairly bandwidth intensive
once you got a few projects going, but not as bad as a fully uncompressed WAV
file trading thing. I hope to still pursue it one day if no one else has
implemented it by then.

The House on the Borderland was my first experience with William Hope Hodgson but I can say for sure it will not be my last. The book is from 1908 and still holds up today. The language isn't too dated so you won't be stumbling through it and the story comes in at around three hundred pages. This story reminds me a lot of something that H.P. Lovecraft might write; it has unexplained non-human creatures, completely strange occurrences and tons of suspense horror. Two men discover a book written by a man who apparently lived at a house that stood on the ruins of where they are exploring. The book contains a fantastic story about the man that lived in the house; he lived there with his dog and sister. One night these strange lights appear from nowhere without explanation, the next day he goes exploring to attempt to explain what had just happened, there he finds a cave where swine creatures live. After the discovery of these creatures it starts a battle that lasts a couple days between the humans and swine creatures. This is the best part of the book and after everything is over you think that would be a good point to end one, but no it keeps going and gets real strange from there. There are some extreme fast forwards in time and many things that cannot be explained. I'd highly recommend this book to people that like sci-fi horror stories and authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft.

REVIEW: It's In The Book
February 12, 2014
Books, Detective, Fiction, Reviews It's In The Book, Max Allan Collins, Mickey Spillane, mike hammer, the Mysterious Book Shop Leave a comment
It's In The Book is another one of the Mickey Spillane stories that Max Allan Collins finished. This one is just a short story. One book, featuring one short story, its only sixty six pages but it's pretty good. The Mysterious Bookshop publishes these as bibliomystery, they're small books featuring a short story and you can only get them from the shop (or at their online store). In this story Mike Hammer is hired by the local police (backed by someone of higher political power) to find a book, a leger of crime boss Don Giraldi. After he passed away it was rumored that he sent the book to the person he trusts most. In the book is a list of every deal he made during his criminal career. Now the cops, politicians and members of other crime families are after this thing. As far as Mike Hammer goes the body count in this one is pretty low but the story (though short) is still really good. Any Mike Hammer fan should have this small book in their collection.
REVIEW: World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War
November 15, 2013
Books, Fiction, Reviews book, book reivews, books, Max Brooks, review, Reviews, world war z, zombie Leave a comment
Max Books (The son of the great Mel Brooks) has written one of the best, maybe the best, zombie book ever written. It is a person by person account of a global zombie war. The book is told through interviews of various people all done after the war has ended, they all tell of a different period during the war and from a different part of the world. The zombie invasion spread differently in different parts of the world. These interviews take you through the initial appearances of the zombies, the denial the world had then the panic once everything set in. You learn how people tried to migrate to the extreme north to get away and finally when the world decided to fight back. This book is really great start to finish; the story that is told is one that seems to chronicle a real world war that had taken place. Even years later (when these interviews take place) you still hear how they have not completely recovered. If you're a fan of zombies this is a must read book.
REVIEW: Kiss Her Goodbye

Books, Detective, Fiction, Reviews book reviews, books, Detective, kiss her goodbye, Max Allan Collins, Mickey Spillane, mike hammer, review, Reviews Leave a comment
I've been a big fan of Mike Hammer through most media over the years (Movies, TV, Comics) though for whatever reason I'd never read a Mike Hammer book, until now. After Mickey Spillane's death his unfinished work was left to Max Allan Collins and Max decided to finish some of the works. Max was a great choice for this; he's a great detective writer. So Kiss Her Goodbye was basically co-written by Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins. After a big shootout in New York a year ago Mike Hammer went off to Florida to recover and maybe retire, but after he hears of the death of his mentor Bill Doolan he returns to New York. Everyone says Doolan's death was a suicide but Mike suspects differently. An aging and still hurting Mike Hammer hits the streets to see what he can dig up. As he does the bodies start to pile up and he stumbles upon a pretty big deal of a case. The book is filled with sex and violence and some amazing detective stuff in here. I was completely blown away by how good this book was, it left me in awe. This is by far one of the best detective books I've ever read, I'm going to start on the rest of the Mike Hammer books as soon as possible.
REVIEW: The Rum Diary
September 9, 2013
Books, Fiction, Reviews book reviews, books, Hunter S. Thompson, review, Reviews, The Rum Diary Leave a comment
The Rum Diary is an early novel by Hunter S. Thompson it was written for years but didn't get published until 1998. It's the story of a writer, Paul Kemp who moves to San Juan, Puerto Rico to work for a local newspaper. The book takes place in the 1950's so you get a lot of the lax feeling of that era. Most of the book is Kemp hanging out with friends he makes at the news paper and drinking rum. He gets involved in some trouble a few times including a brawl with the police that lands him in jail and a crazy time at Carnival. Even though there's really not a lot to the book it was still a great read. Somehow Thompson makes a guy getting drunk and hanging out in Puerto Rico a pretty compelling read. After reading this I really wanted to see the movie because it seems like it'd make a good one and be pretty hard to fuck up. I've heard no accounts of it being good and still have yet to see it so we'll see how that goes. As for the book, if you like Hunter S. Thompson's stuff you'll most likely enjoy The Rum Diary.
REVIEW: You Only Live Twice
July 20, 2013
Books, Fiction, Reviews, Thriller book, book reviews, Ian Fleming, james bond, review, Reviews, you only live twice Leave a comment
You Only Live Twice is the eleventh James Bond novel (and twelfth book) by Ian Fleming, it also happens to be the last novel by Ian Fleming to be published in his lifetime, more where published after his death. This one came out in 1964 and still stands out pretty well today. For those of you who haven't read the James Bond books I'll say that the book Bond is very different from the movie Bond, though it is not so much the case in this one. For whatever reason Fleming decided to make this James Bond a little more reminiscent of Sean Connery's James Bond. Even still you've got the entire Ian Fleming stamp on this. In the books there is a villain that appears three times, Blofeld, his other appearances are in Thunderball, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. This is the third and final appearance of Bolfeld. In this book Bond is slipping, he's screwed up a couple missions and is drinking his days away, all this is apparently because of the murder of his wife at the hands of Bolfeld, and the marriage was short, just a day. Bond is sent on a diplomatic mission to Japan as sort of a last chance. Once in Japan he befriends the man he's dealing with and they work out a trade. Japan's secrets in exchange for James Bond going on an off the grid mission. In Japan a man has been building an island of death. The island is a place full of poison plants and deadly creatures, it has become a hot spot for suicides for the country and they want it stopped. James is sent on a secret mission to kill the man in charge of the island. Like about half of the Bond books I've read this one takes a while to get going, though this one is longer than normal, about half the book is buildup. But once the story gets going it's off and running. The book isn't amazingly long (two hundred and fifteen pages) but I polished it off pretty quickly. People who like James Bond or just general spy type stuff should enjoy this one, but don't give up on it if the first couple chapters have you somewhat bored.
REVIEW: Nina
May 27, 2010
Books, Fiction, Reviews blag dahlia, nina, punk, the dwarves Leave a comment
After reading Nina you realize just how much of a fucked up vile human being Blag Dahlia is. However that is, of course, the reason we all love him. For those of you that do not know this is the same Blag Dahlia of the punk band the Dwarves, and if you think the Dwarves lyrics are too tame for you a little while back Blag started a venture into book writing. His first book, Armed to the Teeth With Lipstick, was more of a seedy sci-fi detective story, but Nina takes a totally different direction. Nina is the story of a teenage girl who has no remorse and makes no apologies for her actions. There's plenty of sex in this book, but the drugs and rock n roll is lacking. Instead you get more sex, death, and a lot of cold-bloodedness. While I did like Blag's first book better this one does have a fucked up charm to it. Only 110 pages and short chapters (which I'm a personal fan of) you should be able to breeze through it pretty quickly then take some time to let everything you just read sink in.

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, with respect of persons. | 1 My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism. |
2 For if there shall come into your assembly a man having a golden ring, in fine apparel; and there shall come in also a poor man in mean attire: | 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. |
3 And you have respect to him that is clothed with the fine apparel and shall say to him: Sit thou here well: but say to the poor man: Stand thou there, or: Sit under my footstool: | 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, "Here's a good seat for you," but say to the poor man, "You stand there" or "Sit on the floor by my feet," |
4 Do you not judge within yourselves, and are become judges of unjust thoughts? | 4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? |
5 Hearken, my dearest brethren: Hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him? | 5 Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? |
6 But you have dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you by might? And do not they draw you before the judgment seats? | 6 But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? |
7 Do not they blaspheme the good name that is invoked upon you? | 7 Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong? |
8 If then you fulfil the royal law, according to the scriptures: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; you do well. | 8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right. |
9 But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, being reproved by the law as transgressors. | 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. |
10 And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all. | 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. |
11 For he that said: Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also: Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but shalt kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. | 11 For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. |
12 So speak ye and so do, as being to be judged by the law of liberty. | 12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, |
13 For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment. | 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment! |
14 What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him? | 14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? |
15 And if a brother or sister be naked and want daily food: | 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. |
16 And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit? | 16 If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? |
17 So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself. | 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. |
18 But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works. Shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith. | 18 But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. |
19 Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble. | 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that--and shudder. |
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? | 20 You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless ? |
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar? | 21 Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? |
22 Seest thou that faith did cooperate with his works and by works faith was made perfect? | 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. |
23 And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God. | 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend. |
24 Do you see that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only? | 24 You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone. |
25 And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers and sending them out another way? | 25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? |
26 For even as the body without the spirit is dead: so also faith without works is dead. | 26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. |

Supermodel Natalia Vodianova held the annual benefit gala to raise funds for her Naked Heart Foundation on February 11th in Moscow. American artist David Datuna donated a portrait of Vodianova for a special auction held by Simon de Pury of Phillips de Pury & Company, which also featured works by AES+F, Jake and Dinos Chapman and Marc Quinn, among others. The donation was made possible with the support of the New York-based Global Art Group and Kyiv's Mironova International Art Group.
'Vodianova – Love of Millions' was sold for $790,000 (600,000 EUR) to an undisclosed Russian collector, and was the highest grossing artwork of the evening. All of the proceeds will benefit the Naked Heart Foundation, Vodianova's non-profit initiative dedicated to providing safe recreational facilities to children with special needs as well as building parks and playgrounds throughout the impoverished areas of the country.
'Vodianova – Love of Millions,' assembled in Datuna's signature style of cascading lenses, features a portrait of Natalia constructed from thousands of miniature images of Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture in collaboration with New York-based artist Alex Guofeng Cao.
'For me it is always strange to look at the portraits of myself. There is definitely something egocentric about it and very against everything I am,' said Natalia. 'However when I saw Datuna's painting I felt proud of being the muse for that work, because I can relate so much to fragility and mystery of the image by my friend Paolo Roversi and genuinely loved how David interpreted it and added to it.'
This year's foundation gala marks the second consecutive year of Datuna's involvement with the Naked Heart Foundation. In 2011, he donated his installation 'Chaotic Past,' sold for over $100,000 to Irina Viner, wife of Alisher Usmanov, a Russian billionaire, art collector and majority Arsenal shareholder.
Next month, Global Art Group will team up with David Datuna for SCOPE New York — exhibiting a selection of his 'Viewpoint of Millions' series."

It took six school years, but Williams Field now has a championship trophy to call its own.
The trophy arrived Saturday night after the Black Hawks' boys scored 82 points and took first at the Division III track and field state championship at Mesa Community College.
"I think, for these guys, it's pretty special," said Williams Field coach Steve Campbell, who called it, "awesome for our school," not only because it's the first in school history, but it came a year after Williams Field had knocked on the proverbial door and taken third overall in state.
This year's team featured a number of athletes who competed in 2012, including hurdler Quincy Stokes, who also finished a disappointing third in the 110-meter hurdles last year but went on to win the event this year.
"I wanted to go out big in my senior year," he said.
Also contributing to Williams Field's victory were the performances of the school's gold-medal winning 4x100 meter relay team, which shaved a half-second between the preliminary and final runs to best Payson. The individual performances of sprinters Terrance Payne and Kenneth Owens, with Payne earning second in the 100- and 200-meter dashes.
Taking first in those two events was Higley senior runner Tristan DaCosta, who earned a first-place finish in the 400-meter run and ended the night by running a leg of Higley's first-place 4x400-meter relay team. DaCosta's first-place finishes accounted for almost half of the 65 points the Knights scored on Saturday during their second-place finish.
DaCosta's goal heading into the championship meet was to nail the trifecta and win the 100-, 200-, and 400-meter races and join what he described as an "elite group" of high school runners. Despite barging his way into the collective and becoming the first Higley athlete to do so, DaCosta still scolded himself for falling short on his attempt to set the school record in the 200.
"I've got to keep working; I've got to get faster," he said.
On the girls side, Higley garnered 52 points and took third overall behind Sedona Red Rock and Div. III-champion Cottonwood Mingus.
Leading the way for Higley were sophomore Sydnie Martindale and senior Courtney Jackson, who took second and third, respectively, in the triple jump, as well as junior Darreyl Woodson's second-place finish in the long jump.
Saguaro, which finished fifth as a team, was buoyed by senior Katie Fleming's victory in the 300-meter hurdles.

So, does Osaka just hate female readers, or are they just more concerned about the corruption of their young women than of their young men? It seems to me that given Japan's severe population issues-- super-low birth rate! --they'd be more inclined to enourage women to get in touch with their smutty selves.
But hey, what do I know? I'm just a girl.

Hawaiian bars should have two things: stellar views of the sunset over the ocean and equally awesome mai tais. Both are on offer at the Waiolu Ocean View Lounge at the posh Trump International Hotel. Not only does the bar boast what might be the best view in Waikiki, its resident mixologist Christina Maffei has created a version of the popular cocktail that earned it the title of "World's Best Mai Tai." Judge for yourself. There's live music, ranging from contemporary to Hawaiian to R&B, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, with an attractive crowd showing up around 8 pm. It's busy but not suffocating, and seats are scarce once the music starts at 7:30 pm, so reserve a table in advance. www.trumpwaikikihotel.com.

I don't think she has a clue who the dad was/is.
I read through the original 34 page thread and the last post by JBean indicated that as long as the parentage was discussed a new thread could begin. (The last thread got derailed with discussions about KC's mental state).
I think it is interesting that I was very certain that Caylee's father was an immediate family member. I was surprised to learn I was wrong (but relieved too!). It is a very good lesson for me because of what is called "confirmation bias". I was not very willing to look at the alternatives because I was always looking only to answers that shored up *my* theory. In my defense, there were many people who shared my view..but I was wrong to go off half-cocked about something so sensitive. (I do apologize to LA!)
Meanwhile, the question remains....just who is Caylee's Dad?
It seems reasonable that KC might have been getting regularly wasted with drugs and partaking in scads of sexual partners...but if that were so (and it was you in KC's position) wouldn't you have tried to find out in the worst way so that you could have gotten monthly support? I am trying to understand why KC would have let the father "go" and made up stories about the parentage.
It does seem very relevant even though it has been hashed over before....to me it still seems a very important issue.
Does it seem important to you? Who do you think Caylee's Dad is?

I agree with Pollywog, I do not think she has any idea who the father was. Maury, anyone?

Actually there have been many threads on this since the original one.
This seems to be a topic that is difficult for posters to discuss civilly.
Feel free to discuss, but if there are any problems, we'll have to close it.
IMO, CA and KC or both wanted complete control over Caylee. Father=rights=vistation=another grandma=Caylee visitation, etc.
I think this was deliberate and child support wasn't worth it.
I also think she doesn't know for sure and didn't want to OR it was not someone she liked very well.
My vote is still that Caylee was a product of a rape-be it by a known or unknown person. I would guess a known person, such as a date rape scenario. It would explain the reasons behind the family covering up the pregnancy and refusing to ID the dad (after all, who wants a rapist to be a part of their child's life, esp when the child is a daughter, and the mother was raped as a teen, by said father). It would also explain KC's detatchment from her daughter and KC's behavioral changes post partem.

From what we have seen regarding family dynamics, I just cannot imagine them sharing Caylee with another family? No way.
I think it is reported that CA offered to make sure Caylee was taken care of financially. I have no link this is just my understanding. IMO, this is part of how she controlled the situation. No dad=no competition
At this point in time, why do we need to know who the father is, maybe KC doesn't know. Caylee is gone, I think we know so much about KC and her behavior and I think she murdered little Caylee, what good does it do anyone besides being nosey who the father is. It is not going to bring Caylee back and it's not going to change what happened to her.
Yeah, I think KC knows, was already done with the father when she discovered she was pregnant, and CA told her not to upset the apple cart. She told her that they would help with the baby and that the father would only complicate matters.
Which was probably fine with KC, because I do think that she probably wouldn't have wanted to tell anyway.
The interesting thing to me is that this case has gotten such media exposure and no one has done the math and come forward to cash in. Like "Hey, I slept with KC around that time and I want to know if Caylee was mine!'
Very Maury, I realize, but I've been thinking about it for awhile. I mean, maybe the father knows and just wants to stay out if it, but IMO, I don't think so. Unless he really is dead, and that's the only way one could escape this case.
There's always the sordid, yet always possible explanation that the father never knew KC's name. I don't tend to think so, though, because everyone seems to speak to a personality transformation recently. There's nothing to indicate she was a big party girl until the last year or so.
Once it was determined that Casey lied about the bioDad being someone who died in an accident I've always thought the BioDad was some big-wig, a 'suit', someone with a lot of power, a very influential person either in the community or even the state.
If this person found out Casey was preggy, he could lose it all.
So I imagine the BioDad telling Casey "If you breath a word of this, a word of me being the father of this child, you and your family will have hell to pay".
Ok, not those exact words but can you try to imagine a person with a lot of power, very influential, married, children, living in a McMansion and presenting himself to the community the "All American Perfect Family" and then being confronted by Casey and told he's going to be a Father?
Just picture it...picture all the ramifications, the domino effect.
Not even someone in her city but .........A city councilman, the head of LE, someone high up with the Fire Dept.
ANYONE living 'the perfect American Family Life" would have a whole lot to lose should it come out he fathered a child with a very young woman.
I imagine someone in a very high place could hold a whole lot over Casey's head.
OK, stop yer laughing.

In the time line of life, it wasn't supposed to happen this way.

That annoying time between naps.
Another reason the rape scenario seems likely. No man is gonna come forward and say "Well, due to an indescretion on my part (I raped a teenaged KC at about the right time), it could be me."
I also didn't see why paternity mattered, but someone pointed out that it could come into play at trial when looking for motive or state of mind.
The A's refusal to name Caylee's father is one of the most intriguing aspects of this case. I think the immediate family member theory arose because it seemed impossible to immagine any other plausible reason for the A's to ignore Caylee's father.
Caylee deserved a father, another set of grandparents and, possibly, some brothers and sisters. Caylee deserved to have any medical issues and/or predispositions documented. Caylee deserved to know her ethnic heritage. All of Caylee's rights to her father were ignored by the A's. Why ?
Here's an off-the-wall idea. What if Casey was acting as an egg donor and surrogate mother ? The arrangement was private and informal. An agreement was signed and money was exchanged, but no investigations were made of either party.
This baby was to be Casey's ticket to the "Beautiful Life" out of Casa Anthony. Then the baby was born and Cindy bull dozed a hormonal Casey into keeping her. Promises were made to Casey about the care of the baby. (Later, Casey accused Cindy of breaking those promises.) The father was told the baby died. Cindy was a nurse, she would have known how/where to get convincing documentation of this.
Cindy's life was beyond dismal when Caylee was born. She wanted to end her marriage, but couldn't do so; the family's finances were in ruins; she had been bullied by a sociopath daughter for years; her beloved son was moving out and on; etc; etc; etc. Now, here, unexpectedly was this little ray of sunshine - a "perfect" baby that looked just like her. Cindy was not about to sell this precious baby. IMO, this could be the dark secret the A's have been hiding all along.
Actually, I'm not laughing at all. Wow. That does make a lot of sense, and fits the "Someone is telling me to say all of this" that Casey told Annie (per the recent docs)...of course, not about killing Caylee, but maybe Casey is weaving the man-of-power's words to "not tell anyone" about the baby into her supposed script about the Nanny and what not. And that would explain why she never went after the $ and said the bio dad had died, thinking no one would ever look into it since he was supposedly dead and gone.
Anyone else following me here? LOL
ETA: I know there's other obvious reasons that a potential dad hasn't come forward, but this also fits the bill...

The truest love there is
Well I just think that it was probably a tourist she met. Had a fling, wasn't even sure if she knew his right name. The "father" probably isn't even aware of this case, or if he is hasn't made or considered any connection as KC probably told him she was on BC. None of her friends seem to know which is why I am going with the tourist thing, that and the fact she worked in a tourist industry at the time.
I understand what you mean...I wondered if the question itself isn't just a salacious thing....but it seems an integral part of the case from the standpoint that the parentage issue logically had to have created stress and issues in the family from the start. The parentage issue is the "back story" to the main story and possibly holds the key to the resentment KC felt for Caylee.
I agree with JBean that even if it could be narrowed down to 1 guy, CA wouldn't give up the control she had just for some child support.
I do believe, however, that KC probably can't narrow it down to one dude. I'm sure that she thinks it could be Dude A, Dude B, Dude C or Dude D since they were at the party. (my conception theory is that she got blasted at a party and let's say hosted multiple guests that night). Anyhow, I'm sure that when Cindy found out she was pregnant there was some discussion as to who the father could be but I'm sure that KC wasn't pursuing it and CA wasn't going to pursue it either.
I also imagine that the dude's out there would be very hesitant to speak up now since they would immediately come under the media spot light.
JMHO as always.

I think it is highly unlikely rape. Wouldnt they want to see the rapist be put behind bars for doing this to their daughter?
I really just believe KC had too many partners and didnt want to look like a sl*t....ya know, didnt want to disappoint mommy and daddy. They did believe she was still a virgin, so she couldnt tell them that she had no clue who the dad was. KC knew her parents would foot the bill and take care of that baby.
Okay the following is pure speculation and my opinion only based on what I know of this case.
I think that Casey either didn't know the father or didn't want to admit it. She was living in the here and now at least from the time she found out she was pg by denying the pg and keeping it to herself. She figured if she ignored it she could pretend it's not happening but she didn't think about the fact that as some point she'd have to own up to it and explain. I don't think it mattered to her who the father was because she wasn't thinking about Caylee or her future or money or anything really. Besides, Lee was the "good" child and Casey was the screwed up one, she was probably thinking that they'll probably think she just slept around anyways so why try to explain herself, it would be a huge waste. :P But seriously, everyone probably assumed when she got pg she was sleeping around and if she felt rejected in her family dynamics anyways why would she argue with CA? I mean it's obvious that you can't really change CA's mind when she has something made up in it. Again of course that's my thoughts and speculation only.
On that note I do think the family of the father deserves to know that Caylee was born and have right to properly grieve her passing. But I don't believe it has a bearing on the case persay.
There are MANY MANY children in this world that do not know,who their father is,and even more that the assumed father is truly not the father at all. I know who I think the father may be,and he is on the witness list.Perhaps I am wrong,and it may be important to this case,as far as attachment issues,etc,But for now I will have to wait and see. I guess in the past that I hoped more than I knew that LA was not the father of Caylee.I just at this time do not have the issues with LA that many do. By the way where is his attorney these days?
IF there was money to be had for Caylee - neither KC or her mom would hesitate
staking a claim . JMO They arent protecting the father - I believe neither has the foggiest idea of who he is .
I seriously doubt KC was ever molested or raped.
Thank you for posting this, and I, too, made an assumption that made me look like the ass in assumption when the info re dna came out in the last doc dump.
I have thought about this, and why, especially when the family was in dire financial straits and with KC was stealing from friends and family, why the issue of child support never came up. Someone had to have thought about revisiting the issue when money got so tight.
Reason I think this is an example from my own family. I have a sister very much like KC, who supposedly got pregnant from a fling with a married man. He supposedly did not want to inform his wife and family of the child, and my sister went ahead and had the child, named no father on the birth certificate and told our family she planned to raise the child on her own with no support from the bio dad.
Fast forward ten years and my dear sister found herself in dire straits: she had embezzled money from her employer, conned friends into lending her money, borrowed extensively from myself and my parents, but the house of cards was going to fall and she was facing some major jail time. So, what did she do? Rang up old bio dad and told him he better come through with some back child support. It didn't work, and sis went to jail for 8 years, a whole nother story in itself.
So, now that I have aired my familial dirty laundry, what is the point? I can't see that the Anthony's would not have thought of this, even though they would not want to share Caylee with another family. If the choice was losing the house where she lived to foreclosure, or obtaining money to continue to be able to support her, to me, there would be no choice. You go for the money, right?
UNLESS it is for sure that: 1) there is no money, because bio dad is dead or 2) you have no idea and no way, short of a visit to Maurey, of finding the true dad.
I am sure that if the father was alive or known, there are very confidential ways to funnel money for child support without admitting paternity publicly, as well as continuing to have no relationship with the child, if one was not wanted. Cindy would not have to worry about another grandma intruding on her turf. Just because someone pays child support, it does not necessarily mean that they wish to have a relationship with the child.
My vote is that they had no idea who the dad was, and did not want to go thought lots of dna tests to ID the father. Too embarassing.
Sorry for the long post and the rambling. Just some things floating around in my head.
Why is it that I feel the need to keep my tin foil beanie on at all times these days? Am I the crazy one? Or the normal one?

The fact that ComicVine can even have this as a regular feature should tell you something. All logic would say "Does Superman Always Win?" would make more sense, or "Does Hulk Always Win?" etc. But that is exactly the point, Batman more often than not is "outmatched" and still wins. He shouldn't win, but somehow, someway, comes out on top. That is a big part of what defines his character. The formula for his stories, if you will.
In the recent Batman Vs. Captain America, Greg Katzman calls it a push. I think the very thorough article, most of the comments I saw (I don't have time for 6 pages of comments) missed one of Batman's best tactics; he doesn't defeat his opponent, Batman gets his opponent to defeat himself. The Batman vs. Superman battle in Batman: Hush is a great example of this. Versus Captain America, the Cap's shield is Batman's weapon, Cap's tactics are Batman's weapon. That's how Bane defeated Batman in the Knightfall series. That is what makes Joker such a great foil; no plan, no consistent weapon or method, just an equally freakish dedication to some new epiphany or motive, except with Joker, that motive can just as quickly be thrown aside. Add to that, the Joker already is his own most hated enemy and that takes away Batman's ability to use Joker against Joker. Joker is always trying to make Batman win, but on the Joker's twisted terms and at some significant cost.
It also bugs me slightly when a match-up makes Bat-gadgets a primary resource. It is a factor to be sure, but even more than the weapons, and even his body, Batman's mind is his superpower. My major critique of all the Batman movies, and much of the more recent renditions of him is the lack of the "Worlds Greatest Detective" aspect, which is tangential to his tactical mind. I like something Alex Ross said in Mythology about drawing Batman, which was of the effect of limiting him to few gadgets and less armor, accentuating his ability to make the most out of just a few tools and making his fearlessness and self abandon amplify how terrifying a man like that would be!
In closing, if I didn't make it clear, Batman would beat Captain America.

31 Days of Horror: Freddy vs Jason (2003)
31 Days of Horror By Robert Fure on October 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThey said it couldn't be done. A fifth year of 31 Days of Horror? 31 more terror, gore and shower scene-filled movies worth highlighting? But Rejects always say die and never back away from a challenge (unless you count that time Robert Fure was challenged to a game of F*ck/Marry/Kill), so we've rounded up the horror fans among us and put together another month's worth of genre fun. Enjoy! Synopsis: Director Ronny Yu got saddled with something fans both dreamed of and feared – a merging, a meeting, a battle between classic 80's villains Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. At a time when both franchises were deader in the water than their stars, the two icons clashed when a forgotten Freddy Krueger uses his mojo to trick Jason Voorhees into slaughtering the residents on the sleepy Elm Street, resurrecting their fears of an unknown killer and bringing Krueger back to power. What follows is an enjoyable battle of blades, a couple of boobs, and a damn fine time.

McGhee wants home comforts
McGhee will take charge of the Dons for the first time in a competitive game and while he knows that the name of Sigma may not whet the appetite too much, he is aware of how important a game it is for the Pittodrie club. "The game itself does not hold the excitement that maybe an Atletico Madrid or Bayern Munich had, but that makes it all the harder because the expectation is there," he told Aberdeen's official website. "I feel this is a game where the fans are crucial, far more even than if we were to get through and play the likes of Valencia, because those types of games, the atmosphere is automatically there. "It is a good team that we are playing and we need as much help as we can. The supporters mustn't come here simply expecting us to win. They must come here to help us beat Sigma."

The jalopy technicians at Unique Auto Sound & Tint shroud the apertures of foreign and domestic cars and light trucks with high-performance window tints and transform rides with functional modifications and repairs. Driver's-side and front-passenger darkenings shield riders behind a sunshade designed to block UV rays, reducing interior heat, preventing leather-seat cracking and fading, and protecting drivers' skin and beloved eight-tracks. Carriages in need of sprucing up can delight in the gentle streaming waters of a vehicle wash ($35 for a car or light truck, $45 for an SUV), during which skilled auto-bathers slough debris from paint and glass while de-griming dashboards, seats, and carpets. Trained mechanics can also touch up scuffs and dents as well as preempt problems with computer diagnostics ($65/hour for repair services). For those who wish to soup up their rides with extra gadgets, Unique Auto's buggy-betterers install radios from top-name brands such as Pioneer, JVC, and Sony ($100 to $1,200), GPS equipment, and car alarms that sound Beethoven's Symphony no. 9.
From modest beginnings in 1968, the family-owned-and-operated St. Lucie Battery & Tire has since expanded into a multilocation automotive empire where drivers can replace tires, revive batteries, and receive top-notch mechanical attention from ASE-certified technicians. A 45-minute lube, oil, and filter change drains the used sludge from assiduous engines and replenishes them with up to 5 quarts of fresh, premium-grade lubricant freshly milked by the oil-streaked hands of a gear maid. Meanwhile, they'll relieve a past-prime oil filter of its duty, making room for a resolute rookie who will more forcefully bar entry to rowdy or underage contaminants. To conclude engine pamperings, fluids are brought to the proper levels, tires are rotated, and 21-point safety inspection ensures that there are no obvious or dangerous flaws.
The Tire Choice is a premier tire and automotive servicer in Florida. We sell brand name tires like Michelin, Pirelli, Yokohama, Bridgestone, Firestone, Continental, Goodyear, BFGoodrich and Nitto. We also perform all types of auto services - oil changes, brakes, tune ups, alignments, batteries, A/C service, steering, suspe
Car Audio Cocoa sound tech's install every component of a vehicle's audio system, ensuring that drivers and passengers can listen to tunes without hitches while traveling from Point A to Point B. A 3.5-milimeter auxiliary jack fits any iPod, iPhone, MP3 player, stethoscope, or any other audio device with a headphone-jack output, increasing the likelihood that a quick trip to the store turns into a road trip spent weeping to the collected works of Itzhak Perlman.
A sea turtle proudly displays its intricately patterned shell. A stingray safely brushes its sleek skin against a child?s hand, grazing the top of a 10,000-gallon tank. A bird splashes into mangrove swamps to snatch fish. Sensory experiences like these occur on a regular basis at the 57-acre Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center on Hutchinson Island, sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon. As the headquarters for the nonprofit Florida Oceanographic Society, the center strives to both educate the public and inspire environmental stewardship of Florida?s coastal ecosystems.
Among the center?s many activities, visit the Sea Star Touch Tank Pavilion and watch a live feeding at the 750,000-gallon Game Fish Lagoon. Educational programs throughout the day explore the lives of sea turtles and explain how to identify local fish that refuse to wear nametags. Just past a colorful butterfly garden and aquariums at the Frances Langford Visitors Center, guests can find nature trails that wend through mangrove swamps and hardwood hammocks. Here, they can see the natural state of a bio-diverse estuary, along with endangered plants and animals that the Florida Oceanographic Society is striving to save through research as well as educational and restoration initiatives.
Many young men follow in their father's footsteps, including Paradise Tire & Service's mechanic Anthony. Inspired by his father Joe—an industry vet with nearly 50 years under his belt—Anthony became a mechanic himself. Now, with a seasoned service manager overseeing the garage and another ASE-certified mechanic on staff, the father-son duo repairs rides and maintains them with services such as oil changes, brake inspections, computerized engine analyses, and tire rotations. As the team works, guests can use the shop's loaner cars, which, at midnight, turn back into pumpkins until the next mechanical service is needed.

Fund This Film: NYC Dramedy 'Sidewalk Traffic' Co-Starring Samm Levine and Heather Matarazzo
Features By Christopher Campbell on June 22, 2013 | Be the First To CommentTypically the films spotlighted in our Fund This Film column are found on Kickstarter or Indiegogo. This week, I've found a project to share that is conducting its crowdfunding efforts through the lesser-known site RocketHub. By "I've found," I should point out that I was made aware of the film by a hometown acquaintance with a minor onscreen role, via his Facebook page. It's a small connection that has even less bearing on my decision to showcase the project than the fact that Freaks and Geeks actor Samm Levine co-stars (he is the one cast member of that show who really needs to be in more stuff), but I like to offer full disclosure. The film in need is titled Sidewalk Traffic, and it's written and directed by Anthony L. Fisher, whose past work on the short Reason TV documentary Abandoned in Guatemala: The Failure of International Adoption and the Groundhog Day-ish short comedy Bed Head can be watched online (here and here). In addition to Levine, it features Heather Matarazzo (Welcome to the Dollhouse), MTV's Kurt Loder and comedians Tom Shillue (Mystery Team), Dave Hill and Jordan Clifford (the guy I know). In the lead role is Johnny Hopkins (Kick-Ass), who plays a struggling filmmaker who has just become a father. Another relative unknown, Erin Drake, plays the female lead, I'm assuming his wife.
Fantastic Review: Drones
Fantastic Fest By Neil Miller on September 26, 2010 | Be the First To CommentIt would make sense that a film co-directed by Amber Benson, known best for her role as Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, would be absolutely adorable. As is true with babies and films alike, adorable human beings create adorable offspring. But there's more to this story — that of the science fiction comedy Drones — more than just the offbeat cuteness of comedy and workplace romance. There's also aliens and Earth-obliterating stakes, wonderfully quirky performances and plenty of epic Power Point presentations. Executed with simplicity and smarts, Drones is just the sort of refreshing fair that makes all of the blood and guts of Fantastic Fest easy to stomach for those of us who lack intestinal fortitude.

I'm in Dallas, and my rain lilies are so happy that they don't completely die back in the winter. I'm left with many still-green (but slightly droopy) leaves and much dieback at the beginning of spring. I think it will take hours to carefully pull the dieback out. May I just cut it all back? Green and brown together at once? |

Chicago Store Owner Injured After Fighting Robber
Fight or flight. What would you do when facing down an armed man? On Tuesday, a Chicago store owner chose to fight.
The incident was caught on surveillance video. A man in a gray sweatshirt pointed a gun at people inside the store, then fired off a few shots, hitting the 62-year-old store owner and his own accomplice.
Despite being shot, the store owner grabbed a bat and fought back. The owner was shot in the leg, and the two armed robbers got away.
We asked Springfield Police Deputy Chief Cliff Buscher what the store owner should have done.
"It's not worth it," he said. "A little bit of money, your credit card, whatever you have in your wallet, your car, nothing's worth losing your life over. All that can be replaced. Somebody comes up to you, they have a weapon, they're demanding your property, best thing is to give it to 'em, call us, we'll recover it."
Police said one of the suspects in the store robbery has been caught and charged with attempted murder and armed robbery. The second suspect is still on the loose.

Every time I drive a Fusion, I walk away rather impressed. This Sport model is as engaging to drive as any V-6, mid-size sedan and looks nice to boot. Although others in the office disagree, I personally like the mélange of textures inside, including the blue trim, which is in fact special soft-touch paint (I hear that it isn't as durable as Ford had hoped, however).
If you're really in the market for a fun-to-drive Fusion, though, save some cash and get the four-cylinder, six-speed-manual model. I briefly took one around a track at Ford's proving grounds and found it quite fun.
Now, when do we get the Ecoboost-powered Fusion SHO?

Sept. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Libyan opponents of Muammar Qaddafi captured the Al-Gurdabia airbase south of Sirte as fighters faced fierce resistance from loyalist forces in his remaining strongholds.
The airbase outside Qaddafi's birthplace on the Mediterranean coast was captured yesterday, the opposition's military council in Misrata said in a statement. At least 18 soldiers have been killed and 51 wounded in fighting around Sirte since Sept. 15, the council said.
Libyan National Transitional Council forces have also faced stiff resistance from Qaddafi loyalists in Bani Walid. National Transitional Council forces were forced to pull back yesterday from the mountain town under heavy shelling, Al-Jazeera television reported, citing its correspondent.
The fighting continued as the opposition's ruling council worked to establish its authority in Libya and improve ties with other countries. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was greeted yesterday in the capital, Tripoli, by Mustafa Abdel Jalil, chairman of the National Transitional Council. Erdogan said Turkey would aid Libya militarily and politically, and offered help with building a parliament, telling a crowd, "Libya belongs to Libyans."
Erdogan's trip follows a visit on Sept. 15 by U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the first foreign leaders to visit Tripoli since helping the rebel forces oust Qaddafi last month. U.S. President Barack Obama will meet Abdel Jalil at the opening of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Sept. 20.
The military council in Misrata, one of the main rebel strongholds during the seven-month conflict, said on Sept. 15 that its fighters took control of the entrances to Sirte, and began searching for officials loyal to Qaddafi. They deployed 900 armed pickup trucks: the largest fleet assembled by the forces for a single operation against Qaddafi's supporters since the uprising began in February.
