Lanza's 7 x 4 foot Spreadsheet Proof Positive that he Planned Sandy Hook for Years
Submitted by republicanmother on Mon, 03/18/2013 - 23:27Or so the "anonymous" law enforcement officers would have us believe. They've switched out spokemen to Col Danny Stebbins of the CT State Police, who recently gave a talk at a cop conference in New Orleans.
He keeps going on how much of a gamer Lanza was and was using this huge spreadsheet that needed a special printer to make to "keep score". So I'm wondering did he have the kids names on there or what? Who under the age of 40 prints out a spreadsheet that big?
Does the article have a picture of the aforementioned spreadsheet? Why no, it would be too tramatic for you mundanes to view. This is the flavor of the article:
"He said when the presentation was over that day, he walked out of the hotel and into the New Orleans morning, three months removed from Sandy Hook Elementary but unable now to shake what he called the "visual" of Adam Lanza's spreadsheets, the seemingly endless list of names and numbers compiled for God knows how long; the list on which he wanted his name at the top, because of all the easy kills he thought he could get at an elementary school.
"Then I called my wife," he said, "and told her about it, and started to cry about Newtown all over again."
bravo, bravo! oh, the humanity!
The spreadsheet may be viewed at the same place where the multitude of ambulances you would expect to be found near a scence like that, the same place the photographs of the smashed/not smashed door are, the same place the CCTV footage is, the strange blue room that Adam Lanza had his picture made with drug-bug eyes, the disappering camo men, etc. ---that's right all up in Eric Holder (Smolderin' Waco)'s ass.

Par for the Course...
Remember the "evidence" presented relating to 911, "terrorist" passport, "terrorist" complete plans left behind, "bin ladin" (dude in turban w/beard) confession tape. (but they had a "facial recognition expert" on their shows confirming that it was bin ladin making the confession..lol)
Really, who buys this crap? Unbelievable.
Lets start with the premise of this whole Sandy Hook "story" they are trying to sell with their media outlets:
Adam Lanza was a 120 lb. computer nerd...who wore a bullet proof vest, carried multiple weapons and over 150 rounds of ammo....add all of that up and it's over a hundred pounds of gear. Unlikely that Adam could have even lifted it all, let alone walk across the parking lot. But the story says he did, and NO, there is no video of it, despite a year earlier the principle commenting on a news story saying how long they usually keep their video surveillance tapes.
Police chase two men dressed in camouflage into the woods, capture and handcuff one, but no explanation or mention given nationally to this. Locally, the explanation was given that the two men were off duty officers...yeah, off duty officers running from police...OK.
Homeland Security drill of children in crisis was happening at the same time at nearby St Rosa preschool; footage shown on the "news" that day actually showed the drill at preschool and not the Sandy Hook elementary. The fast and furious Eric Holder on scene that day plus his close contact with Connecticut officials on gun control efforts leading up to the event.
Oh, I could go on and on, and on, and on. Robbie Parker or any of the other actor parents? Hard to deny the oddity of Parker smiling and laughing, then doing actor breathing exercises before taking the mic to give his heartfelt "my daughter died today and we need gun control" speech (six hours after her death smiling and laughing). Not to mention that Parker found the need to quickly make a facebook page commemorating his daughter's death just one hour after news that there had been a shooting. The victims were not identified until hours later. It would have taken an hour to make that page, most REAL people, if there was a shooting at their children's school, would spend the first hour checking on the welfare of their children. LIES.
But from what I've seen, when explaining and especially having a few videos handy, everyone I've talked to has easily seen it to be a hoax. Many are still digesting it all, but hey, it helps wake them up to fact that this little false flag is one of many, that the "news" is entirely scripted, and that we have allowed murderous psychopaths to have control and power in our country.
Be strong and know that given enough rope, the fools behind all of this will hang themselves. Their propaganda lying media outlets are losing viewers fast and everyday the realization grows exponentially of what is taking place.

I do not beleive any of this.
Too much about Sandy Hook does not add up, and now they add to the story? This kid disappeared form computers and everywhere since 2009. No record of him anywhere.
"We hear at the 4 minute mark "we have one suspect down." The next message is completely stepped upon and inaudible. Right after, another 'EMP' asks "where suspect down?" Shortly after that, we hear what appears to sound like "end the life of Adam". Is this just background noise of some sort or do we have 'the smoking gun' that Adam Lanza was merely another patsy in the long line of drug addled loners targeted by 'dark forces' to play the role of the 'Joker' in the illuminati's sick game of cat and mouse? What do you think? Paranoid conspiracy theorizing or proof that Adam Lanza was a CIA MKUltra patsy put to rest, his death sentence caught for eternity on the Sandy Hook emergency scanner?" http://beforeitsnews.com/conspiracy-theories/2012/12/end-the...

I think if they had the video, they'd be showing it 24/7
The fact that they don't have the video of a heavily armed Lanza approaching the school on an endless loop and are resorting to these ridiculous add-on "tidbits" to bolster their story, shows that's it's a story.
Just the other day I read on Drudge how they said bullying caused him to snap at his old elementary school. mmmmkaaay. They're grasping for straws. Then you've got Dr. Pieczenik, a government psyop expert telling us that this is a psyop, among others who say that it just doesn't add up. Also add to the pile that Eric Holder launched Operation Longevity, a gun grabbing snitch program in the state of CT the month prior to this going down. Meaning, he was in close contact with the CT police and authorities leading up to this incident.

Like with the 5th - if you refuse to talk, you cannot cherry pick what to tell and what not. Same with the information ban - after the authorities had decided to hide the info from the public, they cannot release this or that any longer.
The left is predictably using ANY excuse to further its agenda and should be condemned.
Question: why would the authorities hide the truth?
Answer: when a thin looking 20yo Catholic man puts 11 bullets in the face of a 6yo Jewish kid and multiple shots into his classmates, the normal reaction is
a) prevent copy-cat from mentally insane who are plentiful in this country.
b) prevent revenge from Jews against Catholic kids.
c) prevent celebration in some radical muslim communities as was displayed after a mass murder in France.

I can see maybe one person doing this, but several doing this in the economic times we are in?
Also they found pics of him with a gun to his head and fully armed. Show us the picture.
Is the picture in the article supposed to be Lanza with a little blue gun? If it is, why did they blur his face out?

I thought that was pretty strange too
Maybe they got an offer with Holder when he went up there that they couldn't refuse.
The blurred out picture is weird - I think maybe its a stock photo to suggest that it's Lanza without saying it definetly.

Re SH: "It had to have taken years"
In this Daily News article - aside from the fact that, although the hard drive was supposedly destroyed, a gigantic and incriminating spreadsheet would be left intact, two observations by a "law enforcement veteran" seemed odd: first, the comprehensive nature of the information on that spreadsheet; second, the tactics used by the shooter:
1) "Names and the number of people killed and the weapons that were used, even the precise make and model of the weapons. It had to have taken years. It sounded like a doctoral thesis, that was the quality of the research."
Is it possible that the spreadsheet info was, actually, from someone's doctoral thesis, maybe on the subject of "gun violence in America" (or some related topic)? Or, I wonder how the information on the spreadsheet compares to, for instance, the info in the "new study commissioned by Mayors Against Illegal Violence" reported by the Washington Post (February, 2013). The Post notes the following:
"The researchers pored through the FBI database and recent media reports for every mass shooting since January 2009 — that is, incidents in which at least four people were murdered by guns."
A footnote states: "It's worth noting that Mayors Against Illegal Guns, founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is a group that strongly supports stricter gun-control laws. But for those who want to double-check their claims, the group lists every single mass shooting incident — as well as the relevant details — in the report." http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/02/02/s...
2) "They believe he learned the principles of this — the tactical reload — from his game. Reload before you're completely out. Keep going. When the strap broke on his first weapon (the AR-15), he went to his handgun at the end. Classic police training. Or something you learn playing kill games." Well, one or the other. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/lupica-lanza-plotte...
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.

More Outlandish "Evidence"
Wide format printers cost thousands of dollars to purchase. The ink cartridges alone cost hundreds of dollars each. Nancy Lanza was financially very well off thanks to her divorce alimony settlement. Would she have bought this type of printer for Adam? Possibly.
When this story first broke in December, 2012, the media reported the computer that Adam used in the basement of the home was smashed and destroyed. If that was an attempt to get rid of electronic evidence, why leave this spreadsheet laying around?
The New York Daily News article wrote that a veteran cop who wished to remain anonymous stated,
"They have pictures from two years before, with the guy all strapped with weapons, posing with a pistol to his head. That's the thing you have to understand: He had this laid out for years before. "The fascination (Lanza) had with this subject matter, the complete and total concentration. There really was no other subject matter inside his head. Just this: Kill, kill, kill."
Pictures of Adam wearing firearms and a pistol pointed to his head from two years before? Where were these "pictures" found and who took them, his mother? This hypothesis of Adam's mental state contradicts every other description of Lanza's personality that we have learned so far; that he was an introvert, non-violent and never had exhibited hostilities towards anyone, including his mother.
The more I read of law enforcement trying to buttress the "official" story, the more I am suspicious of darker forces behind this tragic event. I don't believe Adam committed the murders; I do believe this was a more sinister plot.

This is the 'reaffirmation' stage of the media hoax following the pattern of other events like this. Its the same thing as the Aurora shooting in which a couple of months later they uncovered that notebook with strange drawings etc.
They like to wait until the hype dies down a little then feed us little facts to keep the story going and at the forefront of our awareness.
Now that I think about it, isnt that UN vote for the small arms treaty coming up soon?

All emotion, no proof and no sense. What good is it to be the best if you are dead? Now we are to believe this kid was dripping in guns? This debacle is exactly the reason the truth needs to be upheld from the start.
That spreadsheet might have taken years for someone, but a team of agents could have it in days. His mother was so disconnected she never noticed something like this? Buying him guns too? I hope it just keeps getting more obvious to the masses that they have held all evidence and can make this whatever they want it to be.
The only good thing from this is that it proves the point that gun free zones make you a target.

Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson cemented himself in MMA history at UFC 152, but there was a time when his career was almost a thing of the past.
Johnson (Twitter: @MightyMouseUFC) defeated Joseph Benavidez on Sept. 22 at UFC 152 in Toronto, to become the first-ever UFC flyweight champion. It was a glorious night for "Mighty Mouse," winning the title and playing such a big role in such monumental bout, but the evening almost never was.
Mixed martial artists on the come up have a difficult time making ends meet. Many of the combatants work a full-time day job to pay their bills, and fight on the side as a hobby they wish to turn into an occupation. A lot of them get to a crossroads where they have to turn in the 4oz gloves for a pair of steel-toed boots. Johnson encountered that proverbial intersection in life and hadn't it been for some conversation with a coach, the UFC flyweight champion may have never even become a UFC fighter.
"This is the first time I've ever said this to anybody and I don't think anybody knows except for my wife because she was there when I went through this," Johnson admitted to Jason Kelly, Bob Badders and guest co-host Joe Rizzo on MMA DieHards Radio on the MMA DieHards Radio Network. "I was contemplating going to the military. In the very beginning of my career I was working full-time and also training, but at the same time there was no assurance that you'll be taking care of for the rest of your life. I was contemplating going to the army because I felt if you went to the army you would have full benefits and be taken care of. That's what you could say that was the low point of my career, but one of my coaches was like, 'You know, if you go to the army you won't have the time to fight or train or do anything you want. Wherever they tell you to go, you're going to go and you can't say no other ifs, ands or buts.' So, I would say that was the lowest point of my life, when I was contemplating giving up mixed martial arts. I was getting ready to say screw it, because I had to take care of my family."
Johnson opted to continue working and training in the gym, but one of those pastimes were about to be dropped.
Johnson's coach, AMC Pankration owner Matt Hume, has only told two fighters in his history of coaching to quit their job and become a full-time fighter because they were champion material. It just so happens that Johnson was one of them. "Mighty Mouse" gave his two weeks' notice and handed in his forklift keys at the recycling plant, though, he was uncertain things would unfold exactly how Hume predicted.
"I've always had faith in Matt and his training skills," Johnson said. "You just have to go with the flow and just keep on training. I believed when he said it to me and I'm happy it paid off. Who knows, I could've lost that fight on Saturday against Joseph Benavidez and still be a full-time fighter and be able to provide for myself. It just so happened, Matt knows what he is talking about when it comes to training and with making a career decision."
Now that the recycling plant and military are in Johnson's past, and he's made MMA history, the UFC flyweight champ can take a moment to reflect.
After a brief minute of trying to comprehend what it means to wear the belt, "Mighty Mouse" envisioned a clear idea of how he wants to represent the UFC flyweight title.
"After the fight was over I was in the back looking at the belt saying, 'Hmm, what do I do with this now,'" Johnson said. "It shows that all the hard work paid off and I'm happy to be champion. I hope to be a great ambassador for the sport and a great champion for the UFC."
Indeed, greatness is something Johnson exemplifies. I'm just glad we get to watch his greatness unfold as "Mighty Mouse" on pay-per-view, and not Pvt. Johnson on CNN.

It is a little late, so pardon any spelling or other errors, but I wanted to get this posted while it was fresh in my mind.
Self Defense and the Bible.
On any other forum I wouldnt post something like this because it would likely become flame war. I know of more than one lib who misquotes the Bible in an attempt to say that it prohibits self defense. At the same time they are playing Holier than thou in that thread, they are bashing anyone who objects to gay marriage, or taking the words Under God out of the pledge.
So here comes the good part. I am a minister, and I know the Bible better than most. However it took me a while to realize that there is very little pacifism in the Bible. Unfortunately that is what the majority of people focus on. Dont get me wrong here I am not saying that it advocates violence, either. ( Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.)
I just thought that this would be an interesting topic for a while. Post your favorite verses, thoughts, or whatever about this topic.
Ill start.
uke 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Those are the words of Jesus telling his disciples to make sure they purchase a weapon. Why? For self defense obviously. For those who would say that he was speaking figuratively, the next verse has them showing Jesus a literal sword and Him, saying that it was adequate.
The next one, I would like to point out is this.
1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Part of providing, is protecting. If you gave your family the best of everything, but stood by and watched while a BG took it and harmed them, you didnt provide for them. If this happened despite your best efforts that is a different matter. If you dont put your baby in a car seat, you arent providing for their safety. If you dont take them to the doctor when they get hurt, you wouldnt be providing for their health. It is my duty, to God and my families, to not only be willing to lay my life on the line to save theirs, but to come home every night, and keep on providing.
Your turn...

Body Signs Positive HIV (1)
HIV is a nightmare for everyone.
Those who have tested positive for HIV, unfortunately reluctant to perform a shame.
The amount of HIV virus in the blood can be very high in just a few weeks after infection positive.
If you have general symptoms following, as quoted from Health.com (01/04), immediately do the HIV test so as not to infect other people.
One of the first signs was found to be a mild fever temperature reaches 39 degrees Celsius. Often experience fever, accompanied by other symptoms, such as fatigue, swollen lymph nodes and sore throat, should begin to suspect.
Fatigue can be an early sign of someone having HIV. An inflammatory response by the immune system, causing a person to feel tired easily.
Joint pain, muscle aches, and swollen lymph nodes.
This condition is often referred to simply mistaken for flu symptoms, syphilis or hepatitis mononucleosis. Lymph nodes are part of the immune system and tend inflamed when an infection.
Sore throat and head.
Frequent headaches and throat are also suspect. Because HIV attacks the immune system and weaken it, which makes the body more susceptible to infection.
Skin rash.
Skin rash usually arises early or late in the progression of HIV. "It looks like a reddish blotches and very itchy in my arms," said Ron, one of the people with HIV.
Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Approximately 30-60 percent of people experience nausea, vomiting or diarrhea in the early stages of HIV. "Chronic diarrhea and do not respond to drugs is an indication," said Michael Horberg, MD, director of HIV / AIDS at Kaiser Permanente, Oakland, California.
Weight loss.
"If people with HIV are losing weight, it means your immune system is down," said Carlos Malvestutto, MD, infectious disease and immunology instructor of the department of medicine at the NYU School of Medicine, New York. Weight loss of more than 10 percent of their body weight, diarrhea, tiredness and a fever of more than 30 days, could be a signal of the HIV virus has infected the body.
Dry cough.
Dry cough that occurred for one year and getting worse could be a sign that the immune system began to fail because of the HIV virus in the body. (To be continued)

ambulances at East of England Ambulance Service picture by Adrian Judd for EN
David Freezer
Saturday, December 8, 2012
Health minister Norman Lamb has said a public statement to "rebuild public confidence" in urgent health care in Norfolk will be issued before Christmas.
The North Norfolk MP, attended a briefing meeting with the key players in Norfolk's urgent health care on Friday, including the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST).
Mr Lamb has persistently highlighted the problem of delayed ambulance response times and the Liberal Democrat minister took in a dossier of incidents that he has been made aware of to the meeting.
Mr Lamb said: "Basically they told me they would be coming up with a clear plan and some clear action points in the next two or three weeks.
"If something goes wrong with one part of our urgent care system then it has a knock-on effect so the key thing is that all parts of the system are working together."
The MP met with Pam Crispin, medical director of EEAST, Anna Dugdale, chief executive of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital Trust (N&N) and Jonathon Faggee, director of operations and clinical transformation of the new Norwich Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
Mr Lamb said that the problems are very much "a Norfolk problem" and not countrywide but said he has asked for the Department of Health to investigate ambulance targets.
He said it didn't seem right that EEAST could be performing well in some areas, such as Hertfordshire and Essex, but not be performing well in Norfolk and still be meeting its government target.
Mr Lamb continued: "There seem to be a number of problems. It seems we have an enormous problem with discharging patients into the care system.
"We also have quite an elderly population, particularly in my area in north Norfolk, so the (N&N) hospital is the busiest in the region.
"The hospital is always full and if the hospital can't get patients out of accident and emergency into a bed and they can't get patients out of an ambulance into a bed, then the whole system is always under a lot of strain."
Ms Crispin, EEAST's medical director, said the group had discussed and welcomed a report about hospital turnaround times from the NHS Confederation, entitled Zero Tolerance: Making Ambulance Handover Delays a Thing of the Past.
She said: "It was a very productive meeting where a plan was drafted up together to tackle the high demand for emergency care across Norfolk, details of which will be released before Christmas."

If this goes on I can see rural communities raising money for private community ambulances crewed by volunteer paramedics on the lines of part time fire crews or volunteer lifeboats. The salaries of paramedics have got to be a large ongoing cost for the service so why not put them all in vehicles that will do every job?
Saturday, December 8, 2012
This not about turn around times its about single crewing and not enough fully crewed ambulances the eeat send a car or bike to ensure the response time is met then you wait 2 hours for a ambulance to come from from miles away last time it had to come from cambridge wheres the sense in that
Saturday, December 8, 2012
perhaps if norman lambs government werent cutting the nhs and number of nurses a&e would cope better!
Saturday, December 8, 2012
Must you continue to give Norman Lamb coverage for this? The man has voted for the £50m of savings that is seeing ambulances being taken away. This is all hot air unless those vehicles are returned.
Saturday, December 8, 2012
The whole system is under strain in Norfolk, yet we still want to bring thousands of more people to the area, when our whole infrastructure clearly cannot cope.

There are a bulk of companies that give on the internet money loans that could remedy all of your personal debt complications but the authentic problem is, are they genuine? The vast majority of on the internet dollars financial loan websites are truly run by loan sharks or they are normal cash advance san francisco frauds. When you are considering borrowing income by a mentioned corporation, you must do a enough amount of exploration on the business that you are borrowing from. There are a few key aspects that really should be taken into consideration prior to borrowing funds from payday loans online no teletrack on the web cash mortgage organizations.
Queries or Facts to Keep away from
When approached by a loan scammer you will want to make certain that you don't give out the following data:
one. Your Personal Details: these kinds of as your handle, 1st and last title, or even good payday loan companies the town that you live in. Providing out this info can supply the scammer with adequate information to invest in credit score cards in your title and run up the statement on them.
2. Sending checks: if a bank loan company asks you to send a integrity cash advance verify or your bank particulars, you could be providing them with ample data to make counterfeit checks.
three. Sending cash: obviously if the company turns out to be a rip-off, you will never see your "mortgage application charge" or "down cost" faxless payday loans no credit check ever once more.
Tips to Bear in mind
1. Hyperlinks in emails can be faked: relying on the URL's sent to you in the email, they will have the ability to redirect you to a completely various webpage. For case in point, if the URL claims http://www.google.com and cash advance portland oregon when clicked, you are redirected to Hotmail, it is most most likely a fraud web page. Individuals who are functioning in a group to consider cash from other men and women will shell out the time to make faux internet websites that appear true.
two. Authentic loans don't business cash advance leads require up-front payments: it is unlawful in The us and Canada for corporations to do enterprise over email or the phone and request you to spend for their mortgage expert services prior to they show you results. If there is any cash that is because of to a payday loans and cash advances genuine mortgage company they will most possible get it out of the money borrowed from them in the first spot.
three. By no means send out a cost to an individual particular person: regardless of what organization an employee functions for, the company would never advise loans for people with bad credit not payday loans their customers to ship payments to 1 human being. You will often be composing the checks to a distinct organization.
When you have occur to a stage in your lifestyle exactly where a bank loan is needed, you will most likely want to go through your financial institution payday loans toronto or a respected bank loan business. Cash loans on-line have the tendency to possibly be ripoffs or a mecca for fraudulent action so if you are confronted with no other selection, executing an immense quantity of investigation on the mortgage company can demonstrate to be more useful for you.

General Information | ||
About | Ealing Studios can claim to be the oldest film studio in the world. The stages and offices are steeped in history having survived the onset of the talkies, two world wars and the more recent technological advances in film and TV. Will Barker, a pioneer of British cinema, originally acquired the site in 1902. Basil Dean, owner of Associated Talking Pictures took over from Barker in the early 1930s and Ealing Studios was established. In 1938, Michael Balcon joined Dean as Head of Production. The golden era of Ealing Studios had begun. This fabulous period of creativity would last until the late 1950s. Films like the Ladykillers, The Lavender Hill Mob, Passport to Pimlico and Kind Hearts and Coronets were created and formed the pinnacle of the most astonishing British film production ever seen. The BBC bought the Studios in 1959 and they spent the next 20 years creating television productions from Ealing Studios such as Colditz, The Singing Detective and Fortunes of War. The Studios were acquired in mid-2000 by Uri Fruchtmann, Barnaby Thompson, Harry Handelsman and John Kao. Together these partners aim to rebuild the Studios with a vision that brings film, technology and property expertise together in order to revive and continue the outstanding quality of past productions made here at Ealing. Ealing Studios has recently accommodated high profile films including An Ideal Husband, Notting Hill, Star Wars – Episode 2, Lucky Break and The Importance of Being Earnest. Recent television productions include The Royle Family (Granada), Bedtime (HatTrick), Randall and Hopkirk Deceased (Ghost) and Emma Brody (20 Century Fox). | |

Lead Defendant Employed more than 100 Women to Work as Prostitutes
Two foreign nationals were sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Seattle for their roles operating a brothel most recently in Newcastle, Washington. YIN HOO YAP, 34, a citizen of Malaysia, was sentenced to 27 months in prison and three years of supervised release. YAP's employee, KOU CHWUNG LIU, 53, a citizen of China, was sentenced to one year in prison and three years of supervised release. Both pleaded guilty in July 2008, to Conspiracy to Transport Individuals in Furtherance of Prostitution. Both men were in the United States illegally and likely will be deported following their prison terms. U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour imposed the sentence saying "the tragedy of these cases is that culturally in Southeast Asia it is more acceptable for young people to be drawn in to this activity."
According to records filed in the case, over the last three years, YAP operated a brothel in the Seattle area. The brothel was in various locations until law enforcement shut down the Newcastle location in June 2008. At any given time two to three Asian women worked at the brothel. The women would travel from various cities across the U.S. to work at the brothel for ten days, then they would move on to brothels in other cities. YAP would transport the women between the airport and the brothel and discussed their travel arrangements. YAP would advertise the women and their sexual services on his website. YAP employed LIU to live at the brothel, greet the customers and transport the prostitutes. LIU also did cooking, cleaning and collected YAP's share of the fees. Over the last three years more than 100 prostitutes were employed at YAP's brothel.
"The defendants in this case not only exploited women for personal profit, they operated one of the brothels in a residential neighborhood within walking distance of an elementary school," said Leigh Winchell, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Investigations in Seattle. "ICE will continue to leverage its investigative resources by working closely with other law enforcement agencies to stop these types of reprehensible criminal enterprises."
As part of his plea agreement, YAP forfeited to the government more than $50,000 and a 2004 Lexus SUV.
The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Todd Greenberg and Ye-Ting Woo.

Eldon Prax would be the first to admit he and business partner Stan Waldrop's business model is a bit upside down.
Then again, Prax and Waldrop didn't open their business of supplying mobile power systems for the military with the intent of making money.
They had loftier goals.
The United States Air Force Heartland of America Band will be spreading holiday cheer next month in Glenwood.
A major expansion is planned for the Mills County Storehouse Food Pantry in Glenwood.

Cumbrian welcome has become warmer
Last updated at 12:10, Monday, 10 December 2012
IT'S hard to believe, but I've now lived in Cumbria for six years. To be honest, I was hoping for at least one summer during that time, but at least we don't get much snow... Oh, right. Yes, we do.
On this very day in 2006, we pulled on to the road into Arnside from Milnthorpe, in the kind of Biblical rainstorm that would have made Noah put the staff on overtime.
The previous occupants of our home had thoughtfully left the windows open, and with all their cosy furnishings removed, and ours not due to arrive until the following morning, we huddled together for warmth, and bedded down on the floor.
Neither of us slept. My dreams were haunted by someone who looked just like me, leaning in so that their/my face was inches away from me, and bellowing repeatedly "What have you done? You haven't even got a job!"
Unbeknown to me, my terrified wife was equally awake, listening to the wind and rain batter the 100-year-old sash windows, whilst a fair bit of the former got in and had a bit of a waltz round the room.
The curtains would have blown in the breeze, if there were any. There weren't.
She was having visions of the removal lorry getting stuck under the railway bridge on the edge of the village.
It didn't, so I just needed to persuade the elderly neighbour to move her car so they could unload. Alarmingly, she told me she'd need to have a shower and get dressed first.
Christmas was fun – I was unemployed (for some strange reason, there were no jobs in the paper that week) and the central heating would randomly turn off before the house was anywhere near warm. It was only when a bath was run to try and thaw one of us out that we discovered the whole lot turned itself off when the hot water tank was up to temperature. Useful.
My in-laws came to stay, based upon the fact we'd said they could come at Christmas, long before we moved. They enjoyed a chilly stay amongst the boxes, furniture, and our complete lack of knowledge of the area, but at least they had two TV channels that were sort of watchable.
Trying to search for a job online with a dial-up connection only became bearable when I planned my day carefully – click on something, go off and try and work out why bits of the house didn't work, come back, page hasn't loaded yet, go away again and try and warm up, come back etc.
The roof still leaks, and we've spent a fortune trying to undo years of bodged DIY, but I wouldn't change things even if I could. Arnside is my home and I love it here.
Does that make me a local now? Thought not.

We rely on our partner organizations, the Center for Responsive Politics and the National Institute on Money in State Politics, to uniquely identify individuals' campaign finance and lobbying activity. If data appears to be missing, it may be that they have not identified all influence activity for this individual. If the data is completely different than you expected, it may be that you're looking at a different person with the same name.
In these cases, we suggest searching the raw records in the campaign finance Data section, which provides extra information about each contribution, such as the donor's city, state and employer. This information should allow you to judge for yourself if the contribution came from the person for whom you searched.

We need to use a usb storage device with an ipad so that my daughters can use their ipads at school...otherwise we have to buy "laptops " for school ?
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
You can plug a very limited number of mass storage devices into this, provided they have enough power (or you use a powered USB hub), and access photos from them. Unofficially, some keyboards, MIDI devices, and microphones also work (dependant on the app).
However, it cannot be used as you would a USB port on a normal computer; ie, with webcams, printers, game controllers, CD drives, etc
Some applications, such as Goodreader, may also be able to open a small number other types of files from attached USB sticks, such as PDF documents. However, this is not comparable to the flexibility of a laptop's USB port.- Answered by Chris A from Pontefract

First Bites: Flame Caffe & Grill on Espanola Way's date dining for the right price
Categories: First Bites
Inside, the decor is simple yet welcoming with bright white furniture that offsets the warm hues of the walls and the metal "waves" that adorn the ceiling. We are greeted by an exuberant manager, Volker Haehnchen, who takes us through a menu offering an array of dishes as wide as the waitstaff's smile.
Featuring an array of soups, salads and appetizers that bring you everything from a smoked salmon and caviar chowder ($9), Thai Som Tam salad ($12) to Italian Carpaccio rustico ($10), one has to wonder if there isn't a bit of an identity crisis going on. But we are told that because of the location they try to offer a little bit of everything, since they don't know where the next guest is coming from.
