There was a tense moment for Arlington County Police today as officers confronted a man dressed in camouflage and armed with a shotgun near Rosslyn.
The incident happened just before noon on the 2100 block of N. Scott Street, in the North Highlands neighborhood. A resident called police, reporting a man dressed in camouflage in the woods of Dawson Terrace Park. The man was pointing a shotgun at something, the caller said.
Officers located the man, ordered him to drop the weapon and then took him into custody. Upon further questioning, officers determined that the man was an Art Institute student videotaping himself for a school project, according to Arlington County Police Department spokesman Dustin Sternbeck.
The man was informed that possessing a firearm is prohibited in county parks, then released without charges.
"He was not aware that he was in the wrong," Sternbeck said. "No charges were filed. He just packed up his truck and left."
(Updated at 5:05 p.m.) What started with polite applause ended with jeers and shouts, as Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) hosted a panel discussion on gun violence at Washington-Lee High School Monday night.
Hundreds turned out at the school's auditorium for the discussion, with gun supporters — wearing "Guns Save Lives" stickers — outnumbering gun control advocates about 3:2, based on the volume of completing applause points.
Among the panelists on stage with Moran were:
- David Chapman, a retired ATF Special Agent and advisor to Mayors Against Illegal Guns
- Josh Horwitz, Executive Director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence
- Earl Cook, Alexandria Police Chief
- Jonathan Lowy, of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence
- Karen Marangi, of Mayors Against Illegal Guns
The event was titled "Preventing Another Newtown: A Conversation on Gun Violence in America," and the Newtown, Aurora and Tuscon mass shootings were repeatedly referenced.
While expressing general support for the Second Amendment right to own firearms, Moran and the panelists made the case for additional gun control measures, including universal background checks, an renewed assault weapons ban, magazine capacity limits and mandated reporting of stolen guns. Possible changes to the treatment of those with mental illness were also discussed.
"We hope those of you in the room will really help us to move this, so we can make our communities safer," Marangi said of some of the gun control legislation that has been proposed in Congress.
Many in the audience, however, were there to voice another opinion. After a generally polite reception for a opening statements by the panelists, the question and answer session brought a different tone.
A majority of speakers spoke strongly in support of gun rights and against additional gun laws, and some expressed fear that the government's ultimate goal in gun legislation is to gradually ban gun ownership. Moran and the panel's response to the audience statements and questions often drew boos and shouts.
Gun supporters said that firearms make communities safer, not more dangerous, by allowing law-abiding gun owners to defend themselves and those around them.
"Congressman, I know you're pro-choice, but why aren't you pro-choice when it comes to self-defense for women?" said one speaker to loud applause. "Why don't you guys listen to the young rape victims in Colorado when they said that if they had a gun it would have prevented their attacker."
Other gun supporters called for the elimination of "gun-free zones," particularly around schools.
"As you can see, there are a lot of people here who are legitimate, law-abiding gun owners," said a man who asked fellow gun owners to stand, before voicing support for allowing teachers to carry guns. "We would be more than happy to defend innocent lives should a psycho… come into an area to commit an act of violence."
"I would be opposed to teachers carrying guns in the classroom, and I would not want my children in a classroom where their teacher was carrying a gun," Moran said in response, to applause from gun control advocates in the audience.
"I know this community well enough to know that the people standing up in this auditorium are not representative of the majority of the residents, " he continued, to more applause as well as some jeers.
Moran and the panelists drew the most jeers when they brought up "assault weapons."
"What does that even mean?" some audience members shouted, about the term. Some speakers — those who stood in line to speak — made the case that the term assault weapon is often used to refer to a gun that might look menacing but isn't significantly different, functionality-wise, from a standard semiautomatic handgun.
"I don't agree that there's a need for individuals to have military-style assault weapons," Moran retorted. "I don't believe that we need guns that can hold in excess of ten bullets."
Adding to the urgency of passing gun control laws, Moran said, is a projection that gun deaths will exceed traffic fatalities by 2015. That expected milestone is partially due to rising gun deaths, but mostly due to advances in car safety that started in the 1970s — safety improvements, he said, that came about after being mandated by law.
Speaking to reporters after the forum, Moran said he expected a negative response from the crowd.
(Updated at 6:05 p.m.) Rep. Jim Moran (D) has scheduled a community forum to discuss gun violence.
The forum, titled "Preventing Another Newtown: A Conversation on Gun Violence in America," will feature a panel of experts on gun policy, public safety and mental health issues.
The following guests are slated to attend: Omar Samaha with the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, retired ATF Special Agent David Chipman, Josh Horwitz with the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, City of Alexandria Police Chief Earl Cook, Jonathan Lowy of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and former counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee Karen Marangi.
"From Virginia Tech to Newtown, gun violence has become far too common. Each day, 32 Americans are killed with a firearm. We must improve our laws to prevent the continuation of this horrific trend," Moran said. "This forum is an opportunity to bring together a diverse panel of experts who will share their thoughts on a comprehensive plan to reduce gun violence. Northern Virginians concerned over gun-related violence are invited to join the conversation."
Members of the public are welcome to attend the forum, which will be held from 7:00-9:00 p.m. on March 11 in the Washington-Lee High School (1301 N. Stafford Street) auditorium.
Rep. Jim Moran (D) will bring local gun control advocate Omar Samaha as his guest to tonight's State of the Union address.
Samaha, an Arlington resident, has become an outspoken advocate for gun control since his youngest sister, Reema, was killed in the 2007 Virginia Tech mass shooting. He currently serves as a spokesman for the group Fix Gun Checks.
In January, Moran re-introduced a bill, the 'NRA Members' Gun Safety Act, which would require background checks for every gun purchase, among other measures that advocates say are supported by most National Rifle Association members. In a statement, Moran lauded Samaha's gun violence prevention advocacy.
"Omar and his family suffered a tragic loss at the hands of a mentally ill individual with access to firearms," Moran said. "I am impressed with his dedication to making our country safer and pleased Omar will be joining me at the State of the Union."
"Since Omar lost his sister in 2007, our nation has experienced over 20 mass shootings with five or more fatalities," Moran continued. "Following the Newtown shooting, President Obama took decisive action and demonstrated determined leadership by putting forward a comprehensive plan to reduce gun violence. Now, Congress must act on this proposal."
President Obama's State of the Union address will start tonight (Tuesday) at 9:00 p.m. More about Samaha's background, after the jump.

Del. Patrick Hope (D-Arlington) will be holding a town hall meeting on school safety on Wednesday, Jan. 30.
Hope was recently appointed to Gov. Bob McDonnell's Task Force on School and Campus Safety, which was created in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. The task force has been charged with making recommendations regarding improvements to school safety practices at K-12 schools and at colleges and universities. Such improvements may include expanded use of school resource officers or security guards, new state or local programs or policies, and improvements to Virginia's mental health system.
From 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, interested parents, students and residents are invited to discuss school safety with Del. Hope at the Wakefield High School auditorium (4901 S. Chesterfield Road). Hope will give an update about the work of the task force and listen to concerns and recommendations from the audience.
Hope said the discussion will be wide-ranging, and may incorporate topics beyond the scope of the task force. For instance, the task force was not charged with making recommendation regarding firearm policies, but Hope said guns may still be discussed.
"I don't see how you can talk about safety in classrooms without talking about gun control… It's a little like talking about trying to cure lung cancer, but you can't talk about smoking," Hope told ARLnow.com. "If you really want to solve the problem, you can't leave gun control aside."
Hope said he will likely hold at least one more town hall meeting before the task force concludes its work this summer. The task force's relatively short time frame, he said, is the reason the controversial topic of gun control was not included in its agenda.
Two state lawmakers who represent parts of Arlington have proposed a gun safety legislation package in the Virginia General Assembly.
State Sen. Adam Ebbin and Del. Patrick Hope, both Democrats, introduced bills that would close the so-called "gun show loophole," require universal background checks on gun purchases, require gun owners to report stolen firearms, and restrict weapon sales to the mentally ill. To drive home the point, the lawmakers recorded two videos (above and below, after the jump) showing them buying a handgun without a background check and buying a high-capacity magazine at a recent gun show in Chantilly, Va.
The legislation was introduced Wednesday, a day before President Obama proposed legislation to require universal background checks, ban high capacity magazines, and ban assault-style weapons.
The gun control bills face an uphill battle in the Republican-controled state legislature; Hope and Ebbin called on Virginia residents to contact their legislators in support of the legislation.
From a press release:
Virginia State Senator Adam P. Ebbin (D-Alexandria) and Delegate Patrick A. Hope (D-Arlington) have introduced a package of gun safety legislation to require universal background checks on prospective firearms purchasers (SB 1232 / HB 2025), close the gun show loophole, and tighten restrictions on the sale of weapons to the mentally ill (SB 1109 / HB 2221).
SB 1109 and HB 2221 would make it a Class 6 felony to sell firearms to persons found mentally incapacitated or who have been involuntarily admitted.
Ebbin also introduced legislation to require the reporting of lost or stolen firearms (SB 965) and to outlaw firearms in legislative buildings (SB 1012).
"We easily purchased a handgun at a Virginia gun show, without undergoing a background check. Sadly, nearly 40% of all gun sales are conducted without a background check. In the interest of community safety, it's not too much to ask for responsible gun purchasers to undergo a background check to screen for criminal history or history of serious mental illness," the two wrote in a joint statement.
The lawmakers discussed their visit to a gun show in a January 15th news conference at the Virginia Capitol. Hope showed the High Standard Sentinel Revolver he bought for $175; because he purchased the gun from a private dealer, he did not have to undergo a background check to screen for a criminal record. "Today, a felon with a violent past can walk into a gun show or go on the Internet and buy any gun with no questions asked," Hope said. "A law we could pass today, requiring universal background checks for all gun sales, would have an almost immediate impact on gun safety. No responsible gun owner is afraid of a background check."
Displaying a 30-round ammunition magazine he purchased for $20, Ebbin said, "Buying a 30-round magazine should not be as easy as buying a candy bar." He noted that a 30-round magazine was used in the recent Newtown, Connecticut tragedy that left 26 dead.
Citing the need to pass SB 965, Ebbin said, "When a gun is stolen, a deadly weapon is in criminal hands—a combination we all want to avoid. Reporting lost or stolen guns can help police avert a tragedy."
Hope and Ebbin called on Virginians to contact their legislators in support of the gun safety legislation.
Three men are in custody after an armed robbery, assault and handgun brandishing on the Custis Trail, according to Arlington County Police.
A jogger was robbed by the men around 12:30 p.m. on the trail near the Glebe Road bridge over I-66, according to ACPD spokesman Dustin Sternbeck. The victim struggled and was struck in the head — possibly with a pistol.
The men took a GPS watch and sunglasses and fled down the trail, Sternbeck said. A short time later, another trail user told police that one of the men pointed a silver handgun in his direction when he passed by.
Police notified Arlington Public Schools of the robbery and three nearby schools — Washington-Lee High School, Arlington Traditional School and Glebe Elementary — were placed in a secured state. Based on that initial notification from ACPD, an email alert sent to parents erroneously reported a shooting.
This afternoon, the Arlington County Police notified us of a robbery of a jogger that occurred on a nearby bike path. The report we received said that the incident also involved a shooting. As a precaution, we have secured the school building and all students are being kept inside.
Three men were apprehended outside the Ballston Metro station around 1:30 p.m., Sternbeck said. A handgun was recovered. The men are now being questioned by police.
"It was great police work… getting these individuals off the street," Sternbeck said.
The robbery victim is currently being evaluated for injuries at Virginia Hospital Center.
Two H-B Woodlawn students have created a petition calling on Congress to pass stronger gun control laws in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut.
The online petition has gathered 133 signatures already and resulted in 336 letters and emails being sent to Congress. Seventh graders Nicole and Daniel created the children-driven petition with the hopes that it will garner student support beyond Arlington.
"We are representing the children of the United States who do not want to wake up every morning with a thought that someone close to us, or even ourselves, might die that day," they said in the petition. "We do not want to see our friends or loved ones die in schools or movie theaters or malls any more."
"Please help us stop the killings and the murders and the massacres by enacting legislation that will ban assault weapons and require a special license, a strict application process with a background investigation and a mental check for every person wanting to acquire a gun," the petition said.
This morning, the National Rifle Association held a press conference in which the organization blamed the media, the entertainment industry and video games for a culture of violence, and called for armed security guards in every American school.
"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," said NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre. "If we truly cherish our kids more than our money… we must give them the greatest protection possible. And that protection is only available with properly-armed good guys."
Nicole and Daniel's father, Arlington resident Michael Getter, said that arming more citizens is not the answer.
"The time has come to take meaningful steps in preventing mass executions that have become practically a commonplace in our county," Getter said. "There seems to be very little evidence that ease of access and proliferation of dangerous weaponry among US population is making this county any safer for its citizens."

In the wake of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Congressman Jim Moran is proposing a bill called the "NRA Members' Gun Safety Act."
The bill will "implement five commonsense gun safety reforms that polling shows are supported by at least 63 percent of NRA members," according to a press release (below, after the jump).
The National Rifle Association is holding a "major news conference" tomorrow (Friday). In its first public statement since the Sandy Hook massacre, the organization has said that it's prepared to offer "meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again." Details about the NRA's proposals have yet to be released.
Moran's bill would require background checks for every gun purchase and for gun shop employees, prohibit individuals on the terrorist watch list from purchasing guns, require gun owners to report to police when their guns are lost or stolen, and establish a set of minimum standards for concealed carry permits.
On Wednesday, President Obama called on Congress to act on gun control legislation. He appointed Vice President Joe Biden to lead an effort to draft policies intended to reduce gun violence.

A man was reportedly robbed at gunpoint in Virginia Highlands Park last night.
The male victim told police that a man pointed a gun at him and demanded his wallet around 7:00 Wednesday night. After taking the wallet, the perpetrator fled the scene with an accomplice who was serving as a lookout, according to police.
The park, at 1600 S. Hayes Street, is one block from the Pentagon City mall and Metro station.
From today's daily crime report:
ROBBERY, 12/19/12, 1600 block of S. Hayes Street. At 7:00 pm on December 19, a male victim was approached by a male subject in Highlands Park. The subject allegedly pulled out a black handgun and pointed it at the victim, demanding that the victim give him his wallet. The subject took the victim's wallet and fled the scene with another subject that had been the lookout. The first suspect is described as a black male in his 20's, about 6'0", wearing a dark colored hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans, and white sneakers. The second suspect was described as a black male in his 30's, long braided hair, and wearing a dark colored puffy jacket, jeans and tan Timberland boots.

Rep. Jim Moran (D) called for the renewal of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban and the closing of the "Gun Show Loophole" in an interview Monday afternoon on MSNBC.
Moran spoke with Martin Bashir guest-host Thomas Roberts about gun control laws in the wake of last week's movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colo., in which 12 were killed and dozens were injured.
Moran referred to "more than 60 multiple shootings" nationwide after the Jan. 8, 2011 shooting of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
"We shrug our shoulders and come up with all kinds of pious, remorseful rhetoric. We ought to do something," Moran said. "And we haven't done anything about this. To some extent, we are complicit in these crimes if we don't stand up and speak out."
Moran also said that lawmakers have been "politically castrated" by the National Rifle Association.
(Updated at 3:10 p.m.) Police chiefs and sheriffs from a dozen Northern Virginia law enforcement agencies gathered for a press conference today to warn about the dangers of "look-alike or replica guns used by children and young adults."
Arlington County Police Chief M. Douglas Scott, who participated in the news conference, said replica weapons — including realistic-looking Airsoft and BB guns — are being used by kids for play and by criminals for robberies. In all cases where replica guns are used in public, Chief Scott said, they put the person holding the weapon at great personal danger.
"The message today was really to parents and kids about the dangers of using this kind of weapon in a public place," Scott said. "People see the weapons and they believe them to be real, and they call police."
"Police officers have to make a split second-decision," Scott continued. "If someone turns and brandishes a weapon… it could be tragic for everybody and we want to avoid that if at all possible."
Scott said those brandishing replica guns in public might also be confronted by armed citizens, especially in Northern Virginia where concealed weapons permits are fairly common.
"They may be confronted [by armed citizens] in a way they did not expect," Scott said. "There's great danger in that… even though they did not intend to harm anybody."
Scott said replica weapons, which are cheaper than real guns, are also increasingly being used by criminals for robberies.
"We've had a number of robberies this year alone where later we determined… the weapon used by the robber looks like a replica weapon," Scott said. According to the department, there have been at least four confirmed incidents involving a BB or Airsoft gun in Arlington so far this year.
Arlington County Police say they're planning to launch a public education campaign about replica weapons. The campaign is expected to include outreach to students by school resource officers, as well as outreach to local civic associations.
This article has been updated to remove an erroneous reference to legal differences between the use of a real gun and a fake gun in the commission of a crime.
(Updated at 3:00 p.m.) A man was arrested outside the Pentagon City Ritz-Carlton hotel early Wednesday morning after police say he became upset at the hotel's rates and brandished two handguns.
The incident started around 1:30 a.m. when the intoxicated man entered the luxury hotel, asked for a room, and became incensed at the high rates, according to Arlington County Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck. The man also asked whether he could be served alcohol, but was denied, Sternbeck said.
The man then left the hotel and allegedly brandished two handguns when confronted by a security guard. Police were called and the man was taken into custody by officers with their guns drawn. Police recovered two guns, each with rounds in the magazine and the safeties off, according to Sternbeck. Police say one of the guns, a .45-caliber pistol, was cocked and loaded.
From this week's Arlington County crime report:
BRANDISHING A FIREARM, 05/09/12, 1200 block of S. Hayes Street. On May 9 at 1:30 am, a subject under the influence of alcohol and upset with hotel rates, brandished two handguns towards a security guard. Andrew Dziuk, 29, of Centreville, VA, was arrested and charged with brandishing a firearm, reckless handling of a firearm and drunk in public.
Weekday rates for the hotel posted online range from $339.00 to $669.00 per night.

Ahead of the release of their debut LP 'Microscopic Wars' on August 22nd and fresh from a highly acclaimed live performance at Splendour in the Grass, Melbourne's favourite indie-rockers Kingswood reveal their latest video for 'I Can Feel That You Don't Love Me'. In their signature cinematic style – whether it's in Tarantino-esq jumpsuits or cowboy-style double-denim - the clip captures the band with unusually tamed hair and 007 sophistication, allowing their playful chemistry as a band to take the stage to showcase their smooth new track, as they gear up for a massive national tour.
While Kingswood have carved out a name for themselves with energetic, thrashy anthems that still manages to capture moody blues influences with sing-along-soul choruses, 'I Can Feel You Don't Love Me' is a change of pace for the band, with a sultry, slow burning intensity. Songwriter Alex Laska to step up to lead vocals for the first time and matched with Fergus Linacre's high-octane vocals, unapologetic, air-tight guitar solos and Justin Debrincat's furious drumming Kingswood prove they are just as versatile as they are artistic, content to keep listeners guessing their rock n' roll spirit with undeniable musical credentials,

Made in 1980, this film explores the contemporary dance scene through the work of seven New York-based choreographers. They discuss the nature of dance and the evolution of their own work. Filmed at rehearsals, performances, and during interviews, the film is a unique primary source. The artistic roots of these seven artists can be found in Martha Graham's concern with modern life as a subject for dance and in Merce Cunningham's emphasis on the nature of movement. In the 1960s, the interaction of art forms generated choreographic innovations. Especially influential was John Cage, whose radical ideas served as a point of departure for much of the new choreography. Each of the choreographers in Making Dances draws inspiration from the Graham/Cunningham tradition, yet each makes a highly distinctive statement. Structure, movement in non-fictive time and space, and the nature of movement itself are recurring themes. Making Dances reflects the diversity of contemporary dance and documents the work and ideas of seven outstanding artists.

A serious game of one-upmanship is underway in downtown Chicago's rental market, as developers race to open shiny apartment towers tricked out with swank extras and some eye-popping rents.
Have a dog? Drop off your four-legged friend at the in-building spa. Friends coming over to watch the game? Throw a party in one of the gathering areas, outfitted with big-screen TVs, plush furniture, fireplaces and a gourmet kitchen. Working out? After using the fitness center or the golf simulator, wind down in the sauna or steam room.
Despite monthly rents that generally start at around $2,000 for a studio, the resort-style amenities and well-appointed units are attracting tenants and making apartment towers built just a few years ago seem a little less special. Yet there are concerns that the building boom is leading to a market imbalance that will push down rents and potentially trip up developers.
"Demand is not keeping up with supply that is already being delivered," said Ron DeVries, a vice president at Appraisal Research Counselors. "Our occupancy in the market has moved down, and now we're going to be adding another 2,300 units this year plus over 4,000 units next year."
"There's a lot of market tension for a developer to be able to sell what makes their project unique," he added.
Economic as well as demographic trends are fueling apartment construction. Corporations are moving downtown, and young adults, waiting later to have children, are interested in living in cities longer. Downtown Chicago's renaissance of restaurants and entertainment options is creating more options for after-work activities. And consumers either don't want to, or can't afford to, buy a home.
On the business side, planned condominium projects went bust during the housing market's meltdown and have yet to return, but financiers are eager to become equity partners in well-conceived rental projects.
A decade ago, in 2004's first quarter, there were about 17,200 rental units in an area bordered by North Avenue, Cermak Road, Lake Michigan and parts of the Chicago River and Ashland Avenue. By the end of next month, there will be about 26,800 units, a 56 percent increase. In 2015's first quarter, there will be almost 30,000 apartments in that downtown area, estimates Appraisal Research Counselors.
Between 2000 and 2010, Chicago's downtown population increased by 48,000 residents, according to census data.
That confluence of factors continues to attract developers, both those who moved to the sidelines during the housing downturn and those who pushed through it. They are doing infill development, as well as expanding the definition of what was considered desirable downtown living.
"It's harder to find good sites," said developer Steve Fifield, who is juggling several residential projects in Chicago. "Whatever boundaries people perceived 10 to 15 years ago have all been broken. There isn't a red line that says buildings on this block will do great and buildings on this block won't. The next cycle is a cycle of buildings that weren't on people's radar two years ago."
Two years ago, Fifield Cos. started negotiating for a site north of Chicago Avenue, at 347 W. Chestnut St., near Orleans Street. The company hopes to get city approvals to move forward on the project this year and deliver a 31-story, 333-unit apartment tower in 2016.
Meanwhile, architect and developer Thomas Roszak, whose last large project was the South Loop's Vetro condo tower, where the final units were auctioned in 2009, is back with partners and has begun construction on a 15-story, 190-unit rental building at Jefferson Street and Jackson Boulevard in the West Loop. The building, which will be complete in the spring of 2015, will include an "eco-garden," and Roszak promises interior finishes that will rival what's found in the upscale Streeterville developments.
"There are a lot of jobs being created, a lot of tech companies," Roszak said. "These kids, 25- to 39-year-olds, come from these nice dormitories. They do not want to come and live in a three-story walk-up in Wrigleyville anymore. This demographic is a little bit more demanding than 15 years ago."
Closer to the lake, Optima Chicago Center opened in the Streeterville neighborhood only in October, but rentals are running "several months ahead of schedule," so Optima Inc. president David Hovey hopes to start construction this year on a second tower next door. That one, a combination of 365 apartments and 270 hotel rooms, could be ready for move-ins in 2016, Hovey said.
This summer, Related Cos. will open 111 West Wacker Drive, an ultraluxury building that will be similar to its 500 Lake Shore Drive high-rise, where a three-bedroom, 31/2-bath penthouse unit is listed for $15,000 a month. And last week, The John Buck Co. received approval from the Chicago City Council to move forward with a plan to tear down a six-story commercial building at 200 N. Michigan Ave. and replace it with an apartment tower containing more than 400 units.
The floor plans of most buildings now coming to market or in development would allow for the units to be turned into condos in coming years by razing walls and combining units. Inside the units, kitchens and bathrooms feature high-end fixtures and cabinetry.
Developers, somewhat friendly competitors, will often tour one another's projects once completed — some have even been known to take pictures — then tinker with their own buildings still under construction to make them unique.
When the 42-story, 332-unit 73 East Lake opens this spring, potential renters may notice that its kitchen sinks are black, not stainless, and the bathrooms are equipped with dual-flush toilets. The wall behind the public spa area's hot tub has a waterfall. A private dining room that can be reserved in the common area will have marble walls.
M&R Development didn't have to tap a construction contingency fund, so it channeled some of that money toward interior finishes. "We spent more than we thought," said Anthony Rossi, M&R president. "You're just trying to do a few things that are different. It's brutal. People have done some really nice stuff."

"Vol you fool you."
I would due to the voice acting which is top noch.
Where Vol mentally duesl with Abeloth.
I have. All excellent. This still proves he's at the top of his game.
Not really.
"An odd form of Alternate History, but believable."
I'm not sure.
Probably not.
Michael Kramer, or Scott Brick
Disappointment. The narration wasn't great, the idea is interesting though.
"An interesting take on fiction"
I'm sure how to rank it honestly.
The JFK biography, all of it.
I've listened to Anthony Heald, but not the other. Heald's performance as JFK is impressive.
Lyndon Johnson. I'd ask him why he helped JFK out as much as he did.
I hope the authors write more of these fictional bios.
"Another great Alternate History pick."
The narration. Not good with accents, but overall, impressive.
The overall plotline.
The narration is excellent, even if he's very bad with accents.
Some of it made me laugh, like the toast at RFK's birthday.
A must-have for any Alternate History fans.
"Better then Uncle Tom's Cabin."
That it was the whole memoir with nothing missing.
It hasn't. It's all I need to know about slavery in the US.
He does, in good detail, or as much as he can remember.
Nothing at all.
"A woman's world turned upside down."
The plot interested me, plus, it'll get me hiped for the TV show.
First time I've read a memoir about someone who was in prison.
She does, and gives great detail on who's who, and what happened at certain points.
Nothing at all. I found her to be rather good with different accents among other things.
"Jack Ryan is back."
The plotline was something Clancy never tackled for some reason.
It's made my interest in North Korea stronger.
He does with great details about who's who.
Nothing whatsoever. Scott's very good with accents.
A must have for any spy fiction or Tom Clancy fans.
"The ultimate insider."
The storyline interested me very much.
It has opened my eyes to the Middle East conflict.
He does, and very well.
Nothing at all.
A must have for anyone who wants to know more about the Middle East from a man who lived through several of the conflicts.
"A guide to the history of GRRM's world"
I like how it gave an overall history of Westeros and other parts of the fictional world George R R Martin created.
It's made me a fan of the Ice and Fire series even more.
They do in different sections.
Nothing wrong at all.
A must-have for any fans of the A Song of Ice and Fire series as well as the Game of Thrones TV show based on it.
"A man with insites into Hitler's personal and priv"
I might in case I missed any bits.
I have no comparison to make.
The narration was rather good, no need to use accents for whatever reason.
Not an extreme reaction, but it did interest me to hear from one of Hitler's household staff members.
A must-read for any World War 2 buffs.
"Rowling's getting better at branching out."
The narration and the plot.
That, I'm not certain.
Nothing what-so-ever.
I'm hoping for more in this series.

Enjoyed the pictures Al...I like all the rocks ....and the tin pitcher filled with ???....in the 6th pic in the lower right hand corner is a glass jar with a stray attachment is this an antique?

I KNEW that Al's garden would be breath-taking, and it is! How pretty! I'm so glad I got to see it--I've been wanting to see it for at least a year. : ) GREAT JOB, AL! |
Jeepers, I kind of forgot about the pics until tonight. Thanks alot, guys. The pleasure I get from other's enjoyment of the gardens at least equals, probably surpasses the pleasure I get from my own enjoyment. Did that make sense? ;o) The turquoise, antique watering can and the antique mister were both purchased last year from Big Lots for about 4 bucks each (or less). ;o) The copper colored little pitcher with the coleus in it was a buck at the dollar store. I usually give a couple dozen of those away with various plant material each year. I built the little cart from oak & cedar, using old golf cart wheels. Thanks again, and thanks to Lydia for doing the posting. Al |
Beautiful garden! Is that an angelonia in pic #2? I wanted to try that this year but didn't see any anywhere. Do you overwinter any containers outside? What survives? Thanks for sharing! |
Very nice Al. randy |

Al, what is that succulent that looks almost like lettuce, the one on the right (just behind the hen and chicks) in the terra cotta saucer? |
Been awhile since I've been here. The succulent is (guess) Kalanchoe thyrsiflora. I won't argue if I get corrected. ;o) Al |

Hi Al , I absolutley love the frog "givin a holler" :) |
As you can see, I haven't been here in awhile ..... again. ;o) The acorn cap is a cutting from a portulacaria (mini jade). I keep it on a capillary mat & water with distilled water. It will last as long as the cap holds up - usually 2 years before it disintegrates & the plant has outgrown the cap. Thanks, Eliza. You're kind. ;o) Glory - the frog looks like he's looking at you and saying "HI", doesn't he? Now that I think on it ......... he is. I have a large number of all kinds of frogs scattered all through the garden. ;o) |

Al, these are spectacular! We have a whole new yard to landscape. I hope it looks half as good as yours when we're done. Right now it's just dirt and rocks. Hubby is doing some clearing and leveling. Will I EVER get to plant?!! I want to do a lot of containers, but right now I don't have much of a place to put them because they would be in the way of his work. I'm making lots of garden art, but haven't put much out yet...just a few things on the porch. |
Hi, Kathi. Thanks!!! I send a picture of the little waving frog & the pitcher to all my new friends (when I remember). The rock is special and belongs to a group of other's that came to me when my grandma passed & other grandkids were squabbling over who would get what antiques. I was happy to bow out of that picture with only the beautiful rocks she had collected and spent so much time with over the years in her rock garden. I most often think of her in the early morning as the sun is rising & I walk the gardens with a cup of coffee or cocoa to sip. I really love her rocks. Laura - Is your forum name a play on Lara's Theme? I really enjoy that piece. I listen to it often when I'm working on (bonsai) trees. I'm sure your new landscape will be spectacular when you're done. How exciting to have a blank palette. I hope you'll come back and show us some pics of your garden art - or at least send the pics to me, so I can enjoy them. Good luck - I hope you fare well! Al |
I know this thread is super duper old, but i just found it while reading on here and just had to comment... these pictures are so very beautiful and so much creativity in them is inspiring!!! Are they anymore threads with pictures of Al's gardens?? I am always awe struck and super envious when i see someone that has the knowledge and is creative enough to have a area that looks as amazing as this!!! Okay..now i have to go out and plant a magnolia jane and some black eyed susans that i hope one day will look a third as good as these beauties :) |

Upset over Shiv Sena's electoral debacle in Maharashtra, party chief Bal Thackeray today said it was not "outsiders" but Maharashtrians themselves who had stabbed him in the back.
Quoting an English newspaper headline `MNS gives Cong Raj a hand", (Raj Thackeray-led MNS helps Congress retain power), the Sena chief said, "This sums it all".
Striking a cynical note in his first editorial in party mouthpiece `Saamana' after the Assembly election results on October 22, the 84-year-old Thackeray said, "There is an evil spirit that is separating me from you (Marathi people) and not allowing a meeting of minds".
"I do not have any hope that even this writing will have any influence on your thinking. In fact, I have lost faith in everything, including Maharashtrians and also God. I am at great pains to make this statement but I have no desire to hide the truth and indulge in self-deception," he said.
He wondered as to why the 'Marathi Manoos', who turns to Shiv Sena to serve his interests in all walks of life, failed to vote for the organisation born for him.
The Sena, which ruled the state in alliance with BJP from 1995 to 1999, finished fourth, winning just 44 of the 169 seats it contested. BJP bagged 46 seats. Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, led by Thackeray's estranged nephew Raj, severely dented the Sena's traditional Marathi vote base.
Citing success of regional parties of Jayalalithaa and M Karunanidhi in Tamil Nadu, and Narendra Modi, who appealed to the Gujarati "pride" besides Naveen Patnaik in Orissa, Mr. Thackeray said, "It seems that Marathi people still have not got wiser and their minds are dead."
"I have given vent to my feelings to relieve my anguish. I devoted 44 years of my life for you. I do not know what crime I have committed and where I have gone wrong. If the dead minds of Maharashtrians are not going to be resurrected, I should not subject myself to this agony," the Sena patriarch added.

Hi Max, welcome to EPZ, hope yoiu stick around and enjoy. I like what you're doing here, love the stark lines against the deep blue of the sky. I think compositionally it would work better if the tower was more vertical, aligned against the left of the frame, with the wires spreading from there through the pic. however, to straighten to that degree and then crop would lose a fair bit of the image area. Did you take any other shots at different angles?
Anyway, nice work, keep the uploads coming

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

Brazil Delays Decision on Price Petrobras Will Pay for 5 Billion Barrels
Brazil delayed a final decision on the price that state-controlled
Petroleo Brasileiro SA will need to pay for 5 billion barrels of oil
reserves while the country analyzes more information, Cabinet Chief
Erenice Guerra said.
Talks may extend into September, Guerra told reporters today in Brasilia.
On Aug. 17 Energy Minister Marcio Zimmermann said negotiations between the
government and Petrobras on the price for the reserves would be completed
by about Aug. 24.
Petrobras, based in Rio de Janeiro, will buy the oil with stock in a share
sale set for September. Investors are waiting for a valuation of the
barrels to determine how many shares Petrobras needs to sell. The company
may sell an estimated $25 billion in shares to minority investors in the
a**If it goes beyond next week it will be more complicated to close the
deal by the end of September,a** Max Bueno, an analyst at Sao Paulo-based
Spinelli Corretora, said today in a telephone interview. a**They need the
money as soon as possible - the alternative is to trim their business
Petrobras is spending $224 billion through 2014 to build refineries and
expand oil production in the biggest investment program of any oil
company. Petrobras plans to more than double oil and natural gas
production to 5.4 million barrels a day by 2020, developing oil fields
including Tupi, the largest discovery in the Americas since Mexicoa**s
Cantarell in 1976.
Shares Decline
Petrobras fell 21 centavos, or 0.8 percent, to 25.87 reais as of 4:10 p.m.
in Sao Paulo trading. The stock has declined about 29 percent this year,
compared with a 6.6 percent drop for Brazila**s benchmark Bovespa index.
Petrobras needs to put a value on the reserves before it can market the
share sale, Bueno said.
Haroldo Lima, head of Brazila**s petroleum regulator, said in an Aug. 12
interview that $8 a barrel would be a a**reasonablea** price for the
undeveloped reserves, located in deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Investors will be a**pleaseda** if the company and Brazil agree on a price
below $7.50 a barrel for the government-owned reserves, Ted Harper of
Frost Investment Advisors said in an interview yesterday. A higher price
means Petrobras will have to issue more shares to buy the oil, diluting
earnings per share, Harper said.

text: Since i've been on my diet i've started to get a lot of bruises lately. I'm terribly clumsy to start with, but i haven't been running into anything hard lately. I've never eaten a ton of red meat but what I did eat I cut back on because what I was eating wasn't healthy. I eat more chicken and fish than anything else. I just end up with these mysterious bruises here and there. A while back when I was still heavy I talked to my boyfriend's coworkers (all of whom are nurses) and they told me i could try and iron suppliment but that i would most likely always have some bruises like that, that would just appear. My boyfriend suggested that my diet may be making me anemic. Any suggestions, thoughts, ect?

The Board has reviewed the exhibits, con- sidered the evidence that's been presented so far, and respondent's motion to dismiss is granted. The Board does not find evidence of bad faith bargaining or surface bar- gaining on the part of the union in this matter. The Board was also of the opinion that the union in fact did comply with the technical requirements of the ground rule, which we read to say that before a mediation session is held pursuant to the statute, that the parties will sit down and attempt among themselves to resolve their differences before going into the mediation session. The evidence indicates that such a meeting was held on the 23d of March, the day before the scheduled mediation session. The evidence would indicate that initially the union took the position that they were only there because of the 10-day notice, and the complainants indicate they believe the union's position in coming was that they did not have to do any- thing other than show up. But I think the evidence is clear that in fact the union did proceed to negotiate and in fact made some movement at that March 23 meeting. I think that's the end of what I want to say with regard to our ruling." -1- ORDER On the basis of the foregoing, and by virtue of and pursuant to the powers granted to the Maine Labor Relations Board by the provisions of 26 M.R.S.A. Sec. 968(5), it is hereby ORDERED: That the Town of Limestone's prohibited practices complaint in this proceeding is hereby dismissed. Dated at Augusta , Maine this 14th day of April, 1982. MAINE LABOR RELATIONS BOARD /s/____________________________________ Edward H. Keith Chairman /s/____________________________________ Don R. Ziegenbein Employer Representative /s/____________________________________ Harold S. Noddin Alternate Employee Representative The parties are advised of their right pursuant to 26 M.R.S.A. 968(5)(F) to seek review of this decision by the Superior Court by filing a complaint in accordance with Rule 80B of the Rules of Civil Procedure within 15 days after receipt of this decision. -2-

Fall in the Autumn
Namiseom, not a big island (it takes about 2 hours to look around whole island on foot), is one of the best place to meet the fullest autumn. Especially, here is really famous for the filming location of drama 'Winter Sonata' ('겨울연가' in Korean). Every seasons, this island wears colorful clothes : pink in Spring, green in Summer and white in Winter. These days, of course, here is full with yellow and red colors! I hope you enjoy the beautiful autumn in Korea through my pictures:)

Fendi turned to Facebook for its most recent social-media initiative, when it collaborated in April with Bergdorf Goodman on a contest to design its Fendi 2Bag. Each partner developed tabs on their Facebook pages, encouraging cross-promotion between house and retailer, which have 274,700 and 119,200 "likes," respectively. Bergdorf's blog, Twitter and Tumblr also promoted the contest. It was a "fan-gated" event, so contestants had to "like" both pages to enter. Aspiring designers selected from a palette of colors to assign to components of the 2Bag, creating a digitized version. The contest saw nearly 1,300 entries (contestants were limited to one entry apiece) and 12,000 votes—and almost 40,000 users viewed the contest tabs.
The top five vote-getting bags were sent to Rome, where Fendi's creative team picked a winner. The company is producing the chosen bag, which will be presented to its designer and available for sale at Bergdorf's this fall. A selling price had not been determined by press time, but 2Bags on the retailer's Web site range from $1,710 to $2,130.

Yep, I will try and keep this brief considering my rambling novella about my other braggot from this morning that really did not go anywhere. Okay. Brewed a braggot 8.25.08 in a barley wine style. OG was 1.102. It has been racked twice to get it off a ton of trub. I have not taken a reading, just racked it. How long should I leave it sitting before I dry-hop? I plan to let it dry hop a few weeks then bottle and age. Suggestions?
sláinte!Bristle Bros. Brewing
sounds like now is a good time, as long as most of your fermentation has completed you shouldn't have a problem.
Beer, happy Produce of our Isle/Can sinewy Strength impart, And wearied with Fatigue and Toil/Can cheer each manly Heart. Labour and Art upheld by Thee/Successfully advance, We quaff Thy balmy Juice with Glee/And Water leave to France. Genius of Health, thy grateful Taste/Rivals the Cup of Jove, And warms each English generous Breast/With Liberty and Love!(Rev James Townley, 1751)
If it has cleared enough for you to consider bottling/kegging, then dry hop for a week. Given a normal hop/fruit addition. Longer if your adding something that will cloud it up, then its up to you, but I would cold crash it before the next step to help clear it.
--- In Primary: Belgium Chimay clones. In Secondary: Braggot, pale ale, end of the world white. Conditioning: Mead, Cider, braggot, Belgium Wheat. On Tap: Clones, Chimay Blue, Red, Porter, malted cider. Bottles: Far, far, too many to list.
Well, I finally took a gravity reading this morning. It is at 1.026. According to my software it should go down to 1.003? It is 72.6% attenuation at this point. Using US-05 yeast. My brewing software suggests 96% attenuation. hmmm. It is crystal clear in the glass. Guess I should wait a little longer and take another reading? I am only going to have a bomber left in the end! It tastes great! Hops are gone already but it is really nice. Has that rich barley wine complexity with a hint of honey aroma, flavor and mouthfeel. Guess it is time to step it up and brew a full on batch. More hops next time I guess.
Did I mention how friggin' wicked this tastes! DAMN! Definitely need to get a full batch going! I don't think I have enjoyed drinking a hydrometer sample this much ever! might have to get a straw...

The June jobs report showed growth of 195,000 new jobs with an unemployment rate still at 7.6 percent. New jobs — any jobs — should be celebrated. So why does Washington keep delaying the Keystone XL Pipeline? The project could create as many as 340,000 new high-paying jobs including construction jobs. Not to mention jobs involving the refinement, distribution, maintenance and sale of the oil.
The shipment of Canadian oil through the pipeline is expected to generate more than $30 billion in revenue for the U.S. and deliver more than a million barrels of oil to American refineries — per day! Oil that will come from North America. Not Venezuela. Not the Middle East.
Yet the Obama administration is determined instead to further tax the oil and gas industry and actually kill American jobs. Need proof? Obama's budget proposes double-taxing American oil and gas industry production. Not to mention that the president's green energy schemes will actually skew the global energy markets against the U.S.
It's time for government to stop picking winners and losers and allow American industry and its citizens to thrive.

Baby-girl is looking good for 19, wheelygirl. You've taken good care of her. She doesn't really look overjoyed about having her photo taken, but, at least she's being polite.
I've never really liked cats before. And when I go to someone's house who has a cat, the darn thing comes right over and tries to be friends. About a month ago, my daughter caught me at a weak moment and convinced me to get a cat (through PetSmart Adoptions). Four weeks later, and I still can't believe it, but 'Blanco' (white cat with green eyes) and I are best buddies. Now I understand, better, a photo such as yours, wheelygirl. Well done! :-)

I've had to deal with that before as captain. Players just have to make a choice, I won't put a player in both lineups and "hope" they can make both matches.
If I was in a tight spot and had to overlap lineups, I would have had email correspondence from the opposing captain agreeing to a later start time. Then you could send that to ALTA instead of them telling you to pound sand.
I agree that they are different leagues but do think that ALTA should plan a little better from a timing perspective. My Seniors team has the same players on both regular and seniors mixed. Since Seniors regular season is on Saturday at 10, mixed, Sunday at 1, there isn't any scheduling conflicts. But in the playoffs, another story. ALTA wants as much participation as possible but scenarios like this can make a person bitter about playing both individual leagues.
You can say what you want about USTA, but in my local league, if you had a team that was participating in a State Tourney and a regular season USTA match that same weekend, they would let you reschedule if the bulk of your players are at state.
