When it comes to her writing career, Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't believe in ghosts. The actress has taken the The New York Times to task for an article that claims her 2011 cookbook, My Father's Daughter, was ghostwritten.
"Love @nytimes dining section but this weeks [sic] facts need checking," Paltrow tweeted on Saturday. "No ghost writer on my cookbook, I wrote every word myself."
The article, called "I Was a Cookbook Ghostwriter," identifies chef Julia Turshen as Paltrow's collaborator on both My Father's Daughter and an upcoming second cookbook.
Turshen is interviewed in the piece, explaining that she met Paltrow when she was working on a cookbook with Mario Batali in Spain.
So who's telling the truth: the chef who claims to be the ghostwriter, or the celebrity who claims she doesn't have a ghostwriter? Here's the weird thing: it's no secret that Julia Turshen helped Gwyneth Paltrow with her book.
Turshen is a regular contributor to Paltrow's GOOP newsletter, and she identifies Paltrow's book in her online resume. She even wrote an article about their collaboration for Food & Wine, which describes how she and Paltrow spent a "year or so gathering her recipes, and the stories behind them."
"When I saw how thinly she sliced garlic—how focused she was, how sharp she kept her knife—I immediately realized that Gwyneth cooks the way she does almost everything: with thoughtfulness, purpose and huge curiosity," Turshen writes in "Star at the Stove: Gwyneth Paltrow."
Clearly, Julia Turshen had something to do with My Father's Daughter. Maybe Gwyneth's objection has to do with the term "ghostwriter"? As the article explains, some chefs leave the entirety of their cookbooks to an unnamed writer, while barely lifting a finger themselves.
But the article also explains that many ghostwriters are true collaborators, whose job is to write down all the details of a chef's recipes, to record their anecdotes, and to shape the book into something memorable and readable. From Julia Turshen's article, it sounds like Paltrow was the second kind of chef, very involved in every step of her own cookbook.
But maybe Gwyneth is concerned that by admitting she had a collaborator, she'll seem like the first kind of chef, making another person do all the heavy lifting.
Or it's possible that Turshen wasn't her ghostwriter at all, and the whole thing is a huge misunderstanding. We'll find out when The New York Times sends their fact-checkers out, and issues a correction…or not.

Donations needed for Bowie family house construction project
Saturday, January 5, 2013
BERWICK, Maine — In a story published on Page 3 in the Friday, Dec. 28 edition of Foster's, some important information was left out on how to make donations to the Bowie family.
"We've had some pretty incredible partners. Shea Concrete donated the concrete pillars; we have had donations from Jackson Lumber. Everyone's help is so appreciated," said Talley Westerberg, a close friend of the Bowies. |

Home Kent Business County News Article
Dozens of Kent jobs are under threat after pawnbrokers Albemarle & Bond announced its intentions to call in administrators.
The company – which has branches in Chatham, Dover, Gillingham and Welling – suspended shares on the AIM yesterday after its banks failed to support its management turnaround plan.
Barclays and Lloyds Banking Group are owed about £50m by the UK's second largest pawnbroker, which employs more than 1,000 people nationally.
In a short statement today, the company said: "In the absence of any other available facilities from its lenders or elsewhere, the company will shortly be unable to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
"The board has therefore concluded that, in such circumstances, the appointment of an administrator is the most appropriate course of action."
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are lined up to come in as administrators.

Justin was spotted with the gorgeous model at Broadway's The Lion King on Nov. 8 and in a shocking interview, she says she's always had a thing for Justin! Watch the video and tell us if you prefer Barbara over Selena!
Poor Selena Gomez! It really looks as though Justin Bieber has moved on from Selena. He was spotted flirting with gorgeous Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin backstage at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and then the next day he went with her to see The Lion King. It turns out that Barbara has always had "Bieber fever" and has never liked Selena.
"I don't have a favorite Justin Bieber song," she said in an interview from Dec. 2011. "I don't say I like him … I had Bieber fever for two days which is why I was singing him, but I don't like him."
The 19-year-old 5'7″stunner goes on to add: "I don't like Selena Gomez, by the way, but I love Argentina."
But she took to Twitter on Nov. 9 to defend dissing Selena: " i do like her as an actress! she is talented!:) i did that ustream a year ago. just forget it.:)."
This is just all so sad! We just hope that Justin and Selena can work things out and get back together. Meanwhile, Selena has been working nonstop on the set of Wizards of Waverly Place.
Do you think she should be upset or start dating herself?

Wow, its like Barbara is trying to cause drama. Telling the entire world that you don't like Selena is pretty immature. AND to top it off you're trying to hang out with Justin, thinking you're a couple? Didn't Barbara state that she has a boyfriend back in Hungary? Yes, she did. So she should stop bugging into their business.

She reminds me of a young Jennifer Lopez…. and baby girl Selena look where the woman is today…. the little boys that are players like the "Bieb"… die off faster than there third record….. Bieb… what radio stations are your songs on.. haven't heard them….. oops I take it back my 3 year old puts Biebs songs right next to the sponge bob show…….

Im not even a Bieber fan, but everybody hating on him or jealous is to funny. The kid is 18 or 19 years old or whatever, let the kid be. If the kid wants to get with a Beautiful Victoria Secret Model then let him be. Someone that young will eventually learn as he gets older with the rights and wrongs with the decisions he makes.

At Cindy Ackerman, I could tell your some young little girl that needs some growing up for yourself also. For the future dont give out any advice or anything thats on your mind to anybody until you reach the age of 30. This goes out to every young person reading this also. You need to live a long reasonable life to know about life if you wanna judge someone.

But Sellly deserves wayy better than that little kid and yes… i like justin bieber, but i am not that big fan or belieber. I prefer Selly over those freaking cheaters!

When Justin dated Selena Gomez, ppl said they didn't like her, now this model is like that too….. Justin, I know you are still young and want to have fun flirting or whatever, but you cant play with Selena's heart because she has already been played by nick, don't be the bad guy here. Think of the happy times you were together. Just please don't break up! And Selena is a gorgeous, sweet wonderful woman, date someone with a heart. Jelena forever!

His "new girl", give me a break.. They're gonna put the rumors to rest one way or another and they were JUST FINE a few weeks ago.. And this girl? Seriously? He's gonna date people that can talk, for cryin out loud. She might think she's pretty but a brain matters to Justin and we all know that.. He likes someone he can talk to and until they say for sure whether or not they're still together, then why doesn't everyone just give them a break.. God, they're young, back off. He also doesn't like girls that are cruel, and this girl sounds like a total idiot (and she doesn't sound very nice.. what a waste of everybody's time this video was, I didn't even want to hear the whole thing)

Samuel Lipschitz, 27, grinned as a pint-sized red smart car pulled up next to the curb outside his toy store on Lee Avenue in Brooklyn. Lacquered onto the side of the car was a children's cartoon character: a freckled, round-faced boy with curly brown peyes, or sidelocks, and a yarmulke.
"What Walt Disney did to Mickey Mouse — that's what I'm trying to do here," said Lipschitz, who designed the character.
Wise Buys, his South Williamsburg toyshop, caters to children in Hasidic Brooklyn. The Wise Buys Boy is the store's mascot, and — if Lipschitz has anything to say about it — he'll one day be America's first ultra-Orthodox household name. Lipschitz has plans for Wise Buys Boy puzzles and dolls, and is talking with suppliers in China.
Hasidic children don't watch television, Lipschitz explained, so the store's mascot fills a big gap — as does his uniquely Jewish toy selection. "Sponge Bob," he said, "is not an item here."
The shop's jam-packed walls boast a rainbow assortment of dreidel-shaped crayons, strings of silly felt hats for Purim and even a Monopoloy-like game called Deal Spiel. Mitzvah Kinder Totty Mentchees action figures — dressed for synagogue — are hot sellers here, along with the Hatzalah toy ambulance.
"I never dreamed of working with toys. But basically it became a passion," Lipschitz said.
Small businesses like Wise Buys have traditionally been one of the few avenues for financial success in a community that carefully restricts its contact with the secular world. Observance of the Sabbath and religious holidays, for example, can put Orthodox Jews at a disadvantage in looking for work in the larger community, says Rabbi David Niederman, executive director and president of the United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburg.
He added that rigorous study of the Talmud could come at the expense of secular education.
"College and doctors and lawyers — that's a profession that we have not been involved in," Niederman said.

I was just wondering what it takes to get into voice acting? Ive been thinking about getting into it so I could possibly voice a champion in the future, but I wouldnt even know where to start. Anyone know?
Literally What
Become an escort.
Gotta have the voice. Being a voice actor would indeed be fun but like acting its competitive.
Solaris Eos
This is something I always wondered too.
Start with an agent.
Take acting lessons first. Most aspiring 'voice actors' forget about the second part and think that VA work is just making funny voices. Once you have a year or so of acting, buy the equipment and start making demo reels. Work for fandubs, etc.
Practice. You need to be able to do multiple types of voices and accents. Make a tape that consists of a short story with multiple characters that have very different voice requirements (bandit, noble, western, southern, child, ect). Make sure that for each voice you put on the tape that you can actually voice that role - don't include a role that you can only efficiently voice one line for. Get an agent. Send that tape to multiple companies/directors/ect. Practice some more.

Electronic Feedback Software
Electronic Feedback Software
Dr Phil Denton, LJMU School of Pharmacy and Chemistry, has developed an MS Office application that can be used by tutors to generate and email feedback to students.
How does the application work?
Electronic Feedback is an MS Office Marking Assistant that can generate and email MS Word processed reports to students. The software can return considerably more feedback to students, in a shorter space of time, than traditional approaches would normally allow.
As well as generating feedback, the software can also be used to analyse the distribution of both marks and standard comments. It can also be used to detect instances of plagiarism between pairs of students.
The software consists of 5 files, stored in the same folder:
- Guide15.xls, an Excel file that is an interactive user guide,
- Feedback15.xls, an Excel file that generates customisable feedback,
- Fb15.doc, a Word file that formats and emails feedback,
- Tutorial15.xls, an example Feedback14 file, containing specimen data,
- Tutorial15.doc, instructions on how to run the self-guided tutorial.
It is recommended that all new users print-off the Word document Tutorial15.doc
Using the software is straightforward. Feedback15.xls is opened and the tutor enters the details of a particular assessment activity, a list of student names, and the feedback comments. Comments are divided into four types:
- Grade comments - These are those remarks which depend on the overall mark awarded to the student for their work. e.g. you may wish to give the comment "First class work." to those students with marks greater than 70%.
- General comments - These are those statements that you want the whole class to receive. Typically, they would relate the marker's overall response to the work submitted by the class.
- Personal comments - These are statements directed at individual students.
- Standard comments - These are those statements that are anticipated to be required repeatedly during marking and can be entered in two distinct styles. In 'Criterion' style, comments are organised under discrete headings, 'Introduction', 'Conclusion' etc. This is a useful feature when marking essay type work. In 'Normal' style, statements are entered as a list. Each standard comment is assigned a unique reference number and can be readily allocated to individual students, either by selecting the statement from a drop-down picking list or entering the reference number. Tutors may review the allocation of comments across the entire group, or on a tutor-by-tutor basis. This could reveal, for example, that students had difficulties with a particular aspect of the assignment. It is also possible to analyse the inputted data to find pairs of student allocated identical or similar standard comments. Initial work suggest that this feature can be used to detect instances of collusion.
- When users select 'Create Feedback', the software automatically opens Fb15.doc and a Word document containing the feedback reports is created. These may then be printed, or sent to students as an email message or attachment.
Registering for a copy of the software
V15.3: Feedback 15 blank template file contains some appended personal comments from another assessment.
V15.3: Improved error handling if you inadvertently use an earlier version of Guide15 with Feedback15.3.
V15.3: Version 15.3 released. Improved compatibility with Excel 2010

Like a salesman refusing to remove his foot from the door, Gov. Bush landed the Scripps deal for Florida by talking his way into a long car ride. Last July, the governor got a tip that Scripps was considering opening a new branch now that its La Jolla, California, headquarters had become cramped. Bush immediately saw the vast potential of Scripps' picking Florida. He deemed it "Operation Air Conditioning," calling it as important to Florida as the invention of Freon-cooled homes. Scripps could provide much-needed jobs during a downturned economy and fulfill an election promise by Bush to get the biotech industry into Florida. Bush flew out to Scripps headquarters July 17 and found a way to get a two-hour, uninterrupted conversation with Lerner: He tagged along with the Scripps president while he drove to catch a flight at the Los Angeles airport.
Chatting their way north, Bush's 120-mile sales pitch to Lerner proved successful. The Scripps president, a Democrat who financially supported former Sen. Bill Bradley for president in 1999 over Bush's brother, was impressed by the governor. Lerner attributed it to Bush's charm, but it was also his willingness to give Lerner whatever he wanted. In a follow-up discussion, Bush agreed to give Scripps a new facility, as much land as it needed, and to pay its payroll for the first few years. He made these promises without approval from any other elected official or from Florida taxpayers.
The only thing left was to pick a location. Bush's office narrowed down potential sites, with Orlando and Palm Beach County the finalists. He told a few select local officials only that unnamed businessmen would soon visit to consider relocating. The mysterious "businessmen," Bush explained, must be given 100 acres, with another 400 acres surrounding it for other companies that would follow. On September 23, two Scripps officials arrived at Palm Beach County International Airport. Gary Hines, senior vice president of development for the Palm Beach County Business Development Board, picked them up, and, acting out the clandestine deal that it was, they introduced themselves only by their first names.
Hines drove the pair through the Palm Beach Park of Commerce and around the spacious Pratt & Whitney campus, both in the rural northern outskirts of the county. The spots were big enough, but neither had 500 connected acres. After dinner, the Scripps officials sequestered themselves for two hours in the Business Development Board's conference room. When they came out, they revealed who they were and their intentions for relocating. But they had bad news. Neither site seemed perfect. "You guys let us know if you find a better site," Hines recalls one of them saying.
The Business Development Board searched frantically for a new site. "We were very downtrodden that day," Hines says. They knew they would lose the Scripps deal if they couldn't find enough open land. At a meeting of its board of directors days later, one member suggested a stretch of farm and ranchland off North Lake Boulevard. Mecca Farms and the Vavrus Ranch were not for sale, but the directors knew all farmland has its price. As the Business Development Board suspected, the owners were willing to sell 4,000 acres for a price that would amount to $120 million.
On October 6, Scripps officials returned for a helicopter ride over the land that would keep the research facility in Palm Beach County. This time, Bush expanded the circle in the know and included some Democrats. It was a smart move, assuring they'd be on his side. In on the deal early was state Sen. Ron Klein, and the Democrat from Delray Beach immediately became a staunch proponent of the plan.
Scripps officials who took the bird's-eye tour of the property that day didn't see the inhospitable marsh and scraggly grazing land. They saw a research park and a city on the edge of the Everglades, says Weissman, the Scripps molecular biologist. "It's probably like sex," Weissman says. "Imagination does more than reality. I was also taken out to see nothing, but the idea of what's possible is so much better."
Four days later, Bush and Scripps officials made the announcement of a deal he compared to having Walt Disney and NASA choose Florida. The excitement of that day has apparently been enough so far to conceal the deal's mounting problems.
When Gov. Bush needs to drum up support for a project, he calls one of his father's old friends, economist Tony Villamil of Coral Gables. Villamil served as undersecretary of commerce under the first President Bush, has contributed thousands to Republican campaigns, and now acts as a top economic adviser to the governor. Last fall, when Gov. Bush needed public support for putting the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) headquarters in Miami, he asked Villamil to be the pitchman for the project. Villamil claimed the state would gain 89,000 new jobs with the FTAA headquarters. Unfortunately for Bush, the report was roundly criticized as an exaggeration. Even the FTAA itself admitted it would produce no more than 58,000 jobs. But the report still received wide circulation in the press, and Villamil did his job as Bush's cheerleader.

Detroit Pistons vs Sacramento Kings Saturday January 15 7:30 pm Local TV: FS Detroit Plus Nat'l TV: Radio: WWJ 950 AM Chat is open!!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/playoff-chat/
Monroe vs Cousins and a "must-win" for both teams. With everyone home watching this Georgia Dome better prepare for a lot of empty seats.
HUGE game. Go Stones! Unfortunately, I'm getting dragged to the opera. Better go drink a Mt Dew so that I don't bonk in the 2nd act.
Bummer, we could have met up at halftime. But I get hives if I have to sit through G&S so we bailed this time for a nice dinner instead.
Pistons give up 36 pts in the first qtr to the Kings...the third worst team in the league record wise I beleive we are the 6th worst...but still..somebody has to step up and cut off the lane..
our back court cant keep their men outta the lane and that puts alot of pressure on our bigs. Bad news to see tmac tweek his ankle. He played 36 minutes last night and might be a little stiff
Im not sure anybody knows who they have on defense right now, everyone is looking at each other every time a king scores a wide open dunk/layup/uncontested shot
Shootout in process 70-59 Kings The bad D continues as the Kings put up 70 in the first half shooting nearly 70% at a 69.8. clip. The Pistons aren't doing to bad themselves on offense shooting 60% from the floor and scoring 59 points. The question is which team will cool off first. The Pistons have no answer for Jason Thompson who is 9 for 10 from the floor with 20 pts.....he only took 2 shots in last night game vs the Knicks and missed both of those and had no points. Last year rookie of the year and one of my fantasy players, had his best half of the season with 18 pts, 9 assists and 3 steals. Will Bynum came in for an injured TMac near the end of the first and played the entire second qtr delivering 5 assists and scoring 11. BenG and CV also provided some scoring off the bench with 19 pts between them. The Defense has to step up in order to get back in this game. The Pistons need to put some hands in the Kings faces when shooting and maybe Q needs to drop Max into the lineup for a few minutes to see if he can stop the inside penetration and limit the points in the paint.
Great Defensive stand by the Pistons in the 3rd....holding the Kings to only 10 pts...as the Pistons end the qtr leading 82-80.
Got injured in the 1st qtr.... came down on his leg a little harder than usual, and did not come back in. Arne molested his leg for awhile with the banana juice, but they decided to leave him out of the second half...
One of the best second half games of the season for the Pistons. After allowing a season high 70 pts to the Kings in the first half, the defense played up to par and held the Kings to 10 in the third and caused a number of Kings turnovers in crunch time to win this one in the 4th. I am giving tonight's game ball to Will Bynum who led the bench mob in scoring with 18 pts and 7 dimes. He stepped up with TMac down and controlled the game. Last years Free Agents gave us 16 a piece and Stuckey played well delivering key buckets down the stretch. The team shot 56% from the floor as everyone with the exception of Wilcox shot better than 50%. Good win vs a team that they are supposed to beat.....and two wins in a row without some guy with a face mask
Guys seem to be settling into roles. Im glad with the way stuckey is responding to his new role. Will really upped the energy and greg monroe was stellar at trapping the pg on the high p&r. Caused a mess there tonight with at least 1 strip. Daye needs to stop his pump fake and drives to the hole, he is getting a little outta control and his game just isnt there yet. He is currenly one of best spot up shooters and needs to nurture that role before he tries to expand his game to slasher..wilcox and monroe really established a presence interior rebounding and locked down the paint in the second half. But I LOVED big willy with the nofly zone help out block. when everyone was helping each other out and rotating on defense they were gettin into passing lanes and really disruptive.
Props to Rodney Stuckey for playing some GREAT basketball tonight, especially in the 4th qtr Props to Will Bynum who finally found his game and got the best of Beno Udrih Tayshaun was steady Smooth and Steady Greg Monroe outplayed the overly volatile Demarcus Cousins. It's obvious who's the better talent, not so obvious who'll end up the better player in the long run. Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva finally earned their paychecks in the same game. Austin Daye needs to get it together, he's been a dud the last 3 and a half games. The kid must learn how to have an impact on the game, but if GM can learn, so can Austin. Folks don't take this win for granted, The Kings came into this game flying high off of a nice win in the Garden and they're were still feeling the positive effects of the game in the first half tonight. The Kings are similiar to us, plenty of talent, very little direction or cohesiveness, but they're capable of beating anybody on any given night, just ask Denver. Stuckey was VERY GOOD TONIGHT, 2Tough4You and Brap got plenty of Rodney Stuckey ammunition tonight. He played under control, only 2 collisions, but hey- what's a Piston game without a few crashes courtesy of the Super Collider. One thing is for certain, the plan is to keep Rodney off the point as much as possible, Greg Kelser stated tonight that he thinks that with Rodney no longer having to run the team from the point, it's actually freed him up and is making him a better and more efficient player. Did any of us expect T-Mac to make it through tonights game, the 2nd game of a back-2-back where he played 36 minutes the night before. Dude is as fragile as carton of eggs, but I still want him starting at the point.
Some good coaching. Somehow, Kuester managed to get his players to play defense in the 2nd half. (Then again, why could he not get them to play D in the first half? Is team turmoil maybe getting it together?) Two games in a row, first time this year. Doubt we are that far out of the playoffs. Bynum playing. They really only managed to burn us once for him being on the floor. No, I would not suggest against a really good team Bynum play a lot. Don't read too much into one game vs. a poor defensive team. For the most part, Bynum should not play. When he does play, on a rare occasion, the other team won't have plays designed to exploit him. Still, Bynum had a decent game tonight - particulary in the 2nd half. (First half - hey, Bynum did score - but the Kings were virtually never stopped with Bynum on the floor.) At first, they said TMAC would return, just a minor injury to his chin. But then, without further comment, they announced he would not return. Hope he is good for the Dallas game. Stuckey does seem to have an extra step going to the basket when he is not burdened with the point guard chores. Refreshing to see, when we needed two points late, Stuckey busting it to the basket for a score. Gordon has his shot going. I am sure a lot of people were wondering when we would put that hot shooting back in to end the game. Never did. Worked out just fine. Tay still has a backup. No more forcing our guards to act as small forwards. The rotation of Prince and Daye looks great, especially on the defensive end. Prince I think led us in scoring, and that included some clutch shots. Good to see Tay have it in the tank when it matters. We did play just a bit of small ball, due to foul trouble with Wilcox, and what with Ben Wallace having an injury and JMAX being held out of the rotation. But it was fairly brief - Tay / Daye playing the forward spots. Mostly, we played tall enough. And our starting unit, with Stuckey the shortest guy out there, ain't too shabby in the height department. Monroe looks a ton better from the beginning of the season when his shot was getting blocked so much. Now, he is confident and very capable of scoring the ball. And he uses those long arms to good effect on the defensive end. He even hit a jumper, what, maybe 18 feet worth, just to show how rounded a player he is. (And the heads up play for an assist to Stuckey) He definitely compared favorably tonight to Cousins, especially in the basketball smarts department. CV was part of the problem in the first half, but he, along with everyone else, stepped up the D in the 2nd half. CV scored plenty of important hoops for us tonight. Wilcox looked fine - just not in the game enough due to constant foul trouble. But he was in there, picking up fouls 4, 5, and 6, as we won this one in the 4th quarter after getting that lead in the 3rd. I missed doing reports on the last two games due to health problems. Not 100% yet but much better. Everyone have a great night. Quick comment on the proposed trade: Who are we going to sit now if we bring in another power forward? Murphy can rebound. I would probably be all for him replacing CV in the rotation. But hey, really, if that were to happen - then why not just trade CV. Don't like the trade. GO PISTONS!!!!!
Hope you feel better soon my Piston compadre! Ben Wallace. Right now we're playing a 3 big rotation, and we both know that Wilcox is liable to go down at any moment with any injury, CV is pure garbage when his offense isn't going, he's a guy whose defense is predicated on how well he's playing offensively. Max is too big of an offensive liability these days. There is room for Murphy, keeps a GREAT 3pt shooter on the floor who can really crash the boards. Hopefully Ben will accept a lesser role, I doubt it though, seems as if Ben is having trouble accepting Rip's DNP's, heaven only knows how he'll react when he's the victim of DNP-CD's.
Thanks for the get well wishes. Nothing important - actually the pain meds just made me too sleepy to pay much attention to anything - or even stay awake for that matter. I over aggravated my sciatic nerve by doing sciatic nerve stretches too aggressively. I don't recommend anyone try this - way too much pain involved. Basically, you are suppose to do these stretches gently, and hold them for like 15 seconds. Being overweight, I thought I had to put more effort into pulling my knee back. Nope. You still use no great force doing these sciatic nerve stretches, and now I know the hard way. As for basketball. Your response is pretty much what I expected. Murphy is certainly not too old, and basically could have his best years yet with us if we get him. If Wilcox can stay healthy, a three big rotation of Murphy, Monroe, and Wilcox would leave us with everything but one thing - good solid toughness inside on D. For that, we would have both Big Ben and JMAX to play as needed to provide this. CV would be around I suppose as a spare big too. 7 bigs dressed? That leaves 5 spots left - Bynum, Gordon, Stuckey, TMAC, Tay, and Daye make 6. Gee, if JJ comes back, we could have 14 guys deserving some minutes. Not a bad problem to have. However, to win games, we need more guys like Rip on D, not guys like Bynum. I would rather see Rip stay in the rotation, leaving Bynum as an emergency guard. CV, for a guy like Murphy, makes more sense to me. Rip's expiring will be worth gold soon enough - provided they have a season next year of course.

In a short paper published recently in Entomological News (citation and link below) , lab PI Sam Heads and collaborator Yinan Wang described a fossil specimen of the extant differential grasshopper, Melanoplus differentialis (Thomas, 1865) from the Late Pleistocene McKittrick tar pits of southern California, USA.
The adult male specimen is partially preserved in left lateral aspect in a large chunk of asphalt containing numerous other fossils, including abundant plant and arthropod debris, a horsetail stem (Equisetum sp.) and a hydrophilid beetle (Hydrophilus sp.). The comparatively large body size and structure of the terminalia (in particular the shape of the cercus) confirm the identification of the specimen as M. differentialis, making this the first tar pit orthopteran to be identified to species.

For all of you damask brides out there....
Thought you might enjoy this great site!

200 Day Mark!!
I can't believe I'm at my 200 day mark... Holy Cow!!! Time has flown by so quickly. To think that I was engaged over a year ago, and now less than 7 months until the big day! We've gotten so much done, I feel wonderful. I can't imagine how people work with such short engagements! 18 months seemed TOO long at first, but now I'm glad that we've gotten the time to kick back and ENJOY the planning, not just rush through it.
Thanks to my girl Trish for reminding me of this 'milestone' day!!! : ) |
My girls!!
Here are some of my girls! This is during our bridesmaids weekend when they came to try on their dresses, then we went out on the town afterwards. I have such a FUN and AWESOME group of girls! In the picture, 5 of my 8 bridesmaids. Unfortunately 3 couldn't make it out with us that night....
The cab driver on the radio on the way downtown: "6 lovely ladies going to Hardware Bar for body shots... over!" What a fun night *smiles* |
Wedding Reception
Votive Placecards
I want to say THANK YOU to all of the other brides on WBC that have posted ideas and pictures for Votive Placecards. I have borrowed a few of your pictures - hope you don't mind! This is what we'll be doing for our placecards, and they will double for part of our favor too!
They say to make sure you use tea lights in here, not votives. Makes it not so hot to the touch. Also, try to get 10 hour tealights if possible, since they will be lit before the reception and you still want them to be burning at the end of the reception! They sound so easy to make, so they'll be another DIY project for my mom and I! They keep adding up : ) |
Gifts for my girls!
So, I don't think that any of my girls on are this site, so I should be safe posting this stuff. But, just in case, NO PEEKING GIRLS!!!
I'll be getting each of the girls a personalized wine glass. It is a white wine glass with their first initial in rhinestones on the glass. I priced these online for $20+ per glass! Get outta town!! I can make these myself for much less. I've found the correct rhinestones and glue to make them stay on the glass even when washed. The rhinestones will match each girls favorite color. I'll, of course, have one for myself too since I LOVE wine : ) The girls will also be getting personalized jewelry bags -- who doesn't need one!? I don't have anything for my jewelry when I travel, so hopefully this will come in helpful to everyone. My sister-in-law Rachel will also be making each girl a personalized tote bag to carry their wedding day stuff in. She makes the most adorable bags and purses, then embroiders the initials or name on the bag. I can make them any type of fabric/color I want! Thank goodness for Rachel : ) Then, the girls will of course be getting their wedding day jewelry, which I haven't yet decided on. Hopefully soon!! |
Wedding Flowers
Bridal Bouquet!
This is what my ideal bouquet will look like - down to the berries and all! Girls bouquets won't match, but oh well : ) Theirs will go with their pink dresses, and mine will match my dress. Soft, romantic and overflowing!!
Wedding Rings And Jewelry
My Engagement Ring!
FINALLY found a picture of my engagement ring! We've only been engaged for, well, over a year now!! It's the most beautiful ring - absolutely what I wanted! He did a fantastic job with it : ) Now onto shopping for wedding bands to match!
Save the Dates!
Done and Sent!!
Save the Dates are officially done and sent!! Got the magnets from MagnetStreet -- they were fantastic to work with! Very quick turnaround time. Got a proof the same day and the went to print immediately. Got within 2 weeks. Come with nice, silver lined envelopes.

Wedding Flowers
Flowers, Flowers and More Flowers!!
So here are a few choices for the bouts. I love the Stephanotis with the pearls in the center, and so does my florist! Any feedback on which one you like best?
** Update ** So, met with the florist this morning... WOOHOO! Once more 'check' off my list of things to do! My florist is absolutely WONDERFUL! She is super creative and has sooo many great ideas for us. We have decided on the following: Stephanotis Bouts for my groom, the fathers and grandfathers. She will also incorporate hyperculum berries and greenery on the bouts. Fuschia pink dendrobium orchid bouts for the groomsmen. The mothers will have the same orchids, but as a beautiful wristlet corsage. The grandmothers will have white dendrobium wristlet corsages - same as the mothers, just different color. Beautiful centerpieces will include green hydrangea, fuschia peonies, orange gerbera daisies, yellow snapdragons and greenery. They will be high (eiffel tower height), which will compliment the low candles arrangements on the other half of the tables. Will have TONS of candlelight and scattered peonies on the tables. SUPER EXCITED about my flowers!!!! : ) |
Wedding Invitation
Fun Idea!
Here is a great idea that I found at www.couturemaps.com. She draws beautiful maps that are catered to the town that you are being married in. These could be a wonderful idea if you have a large amount of out of town guests, or just want to add that special 'flair' to the invitations!

Current Time
Buenos Aires restaurants
Given the zesty flavor of Argentine beef, it's not surprising that a dizzying array of palate-teasing steaks litter the menus in traditional Buenos Aires eateries. Throughout the city, the aromas of steak and choripan (spicy sausage sandwich) emanate from the ubiquitous parrilla grillhouses, where both the sophisticated and the uncouth tuck into sizzling heaps of offal and sweetbreads or savor melt-in-your-mouth cuts of rib and rump.
However, a slew of new eateries, many clustered in Palermo Viejo, B.A.'s own Soho, are fast transforming the city's culinary offerings. New-wave chefs—whose cuisine is generally described as de autor—place great value on creativity, seeking inspiration from traditions as diverse as Lebanese and Thai, Indian and Provençal. Enterprising chefs are even turning to the country's exotic fauna, bestowing long-awaited culinary recognition on low-fat, low-cholesterol meats such as ñandú, a South American ostrich, and the yacaré caiman, a seven-foot alligator.
The trailblazing has its limits: Locals have little stomach for strong spices or fish. Nevertheless, dozens of top-notch restaurants turn out sophisticated dishes, combining hunted game, free-range meats, tropical fruits, delicate cheeses, and organic vegetables, all enhanced with roots, herbs, and spices. Look out, too, for Andean cooking, particularly from the northwestern province of Salta, in which quinoa, llama, and corn feature alongside locro (stew), tamales, and diminutive, piquant empañadas.
Since Buenos Aires adopted a no-smoking law in 2006, the days when the aroma of your artfully contrived dish mingled freely with your neighbor's high-tar cigarette are long gone. Porteños remain unconvinced that it's time to quitjust count the number of diners rushing outside for a puff between coursesbut the city's determination to apply the law has confounded critics who said it could never be enforced.

Everyone has a Flip camera or even just a good phone that can capture a moment and distribute it via Facebook and YouTube, but true videography is an art form that should not be discounted or overlooked simply because you have a device that can capture video. A good video is one that has elements like a steady camera, proper lighting, audible sound that matches the video, clean editing, and above all, is "tagged" properly with the LIFE brand.
We understand that some videos are specifically intended to look "organic" or "amateur" in nature, but for a big event, historic occasion or speaker, you will want to have your video professionally done.

Best place to chill out (2000)
Tattered Cover LoDo
We could write a book on the many reasons we love the Tattered Cover's LoDo store, among them the old, creaky floors; the chipper, non-creaky staffers; the huge selection of newspapers and magazines; the overstuffed chairs that are just the place to read those newspapers and magazines (or take a nap); the auditorium that frequently offers lectures and book signings; the fact that both Tattered Cover stores still let you write checks without showing ID. But at this time of year, what we appreciate most about the Tattered Cover LoDo is how it keeps its cool. Although the bookstore is housed in the century-old Morey-Mercantile Building, it boasts a thoroughly modern air-conditioning system, one that keeps the indoor climate completely under control. That's important to books, and it's important to booklovers. Chill out.

Summer Associate Program
The Purpose
The summer program at Wyche has two goals: to introduce law students to the real-world practice of law, and to begin to build relationships with young lawyers, who will we hope, become our colleagues. To achieve these ends, we interweave genuine legal work with relaxed social events that emphasize getting to know Greenville and one another.
The Criteria
We evaluate candidates for the summer program intensely because we want to identify law students to whom we will eventually offer permanent associate positions. We view each of our summer clerks as a potential colleague, and so we try to identify students who will make good lawyers here. Our criteria include high academic standing, membership on law reviews or other significant journals, honor society memberships, judicial clerkships, and a demonstration of vitality and enthusiasm for extracurricular interests.
The Assignments
The summer work assignments involve real work on real matters. Summer associates frequently attend depositions, help prepare for trials, go to court, assist with closings, research federal and state law, draft documents – all under the guidance of a seasoned attorney. We want to know, and we want each summer associate to know, just how much he or she really likes the law and what areas of practice are interesting to him or her. We make every effort to expose summer associates to all the practice areas in our firm. In the practice of law, you can't know what you like until you try it.
The Schedule
We encourage all summer associates – especially first-year students– to split their summers between two firms. We believe it is important for students to experience a variety of law practices and firm cultures before they finish law school and make a permanent decision about where they will practice and what kind of law they will pursue. We do require that summer associates spend a minimum of four weeks with us.
The Social Side
Collegiality is one of the very special aspects of our firm. We prize one another's company, and our lawyers have a variety of interests. During the summer, we try to share this unity and diversity with our summer associates, and show off the ambience of our city.
Greenville is surrounded by beautiful mountains with spectacular rivers and waterfalls. We offer hikes and picnics in the mountains, as well as whitewater rafting and canoeing. There is always a tennis game available at the end of the day or an afternoon of golf at one of the many courses in the area. Traditionally, we schedule an afternoon of water skiing, swimming or boating on one of the many lakes, followed by a casual dinner.
We also host an evening at the Greenville Drive stadium to watch the Boston Red Sox Single A affiliate team play. In addition to lots of outdoor events, there are excellent dining and theatre evenings at the Peace Center for the Performing Arts or local music and cabaret clubs. Downtown Greenville hosts a variety of evening concerts that are within walking distance of the office and the Bi-Lo Center books major concert tours and sporting events. A tour of the Greenville County Art Museum is scheduled every year.In summary, the summer program reflects the culture of the firm. We work hard and smart, we like where we live and we take advantage of the wealth of recreation and culture that is available to us. And, of great importance, we like and respect each other.
Statement of Recruiting Philosophy Regarding Offers
Many of our summer associates seek clerkships or other prestigious legal opportunities before they seek permanent employment with our firm. Although we will hire graduating law students directly from our summer program, many of our current members and associates came to us after spending several years with large law firms in Atlanta, Washington DC, New York and other cities, and/or one or more years of judicial clerkship after summer clerkships at Wyche. We do not follow the practice of many firms that hire large numbers of associates with the knowledge that most of them will never become members (to the contrary, although we obviously cannot guarantee membership, we anticipate that every associate we hire will eventually become a member of the firm), and our size and culture do not permit us to hire a large number of entry-level associates at any given time. Thus, Wyche generally does not make formal offers of permanent employment to any summer associate unless and until the candidate requests that an offer be made and is prepared seriously to consider permanent employment with the firm. Similarly, students who clerk with our firm following their first year of law school should indicate whether they are interested in a summer clerkship following their second year of law school. In addition, with regard to those students seeking judicial clerkships, formal offers of permanent employment are not extended until they have begun their clerkships and received authorization from their judges to apply.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Program gets big grant to connect Pawtuckaway to Great Bay
Thursday, January 16, 2014
EXETER — The Southeast Land Trust of New Hampshire announced a big grant to help with the organization's initiative to preserve and connect lands from Pawtuckaway to Great Bay.
"I could see that if we proactively worked with a number of willing landowners, we could make a ribbon of conserved land that would benefit wildlife and people," said Hart.
The LCHIP funding commitment is going to play a critical role in leveraging and matching federal grant funds that are used to protect farmland and wetlands. In addition to LCHIP's funding commitment, the 462-acre project received a significant boost early on when the Lamprey River Advisory Committee committed $420,000 toward the project. |

Charles Darwin is widely recognized and celebrated as the founder of the theory of evolution by natural selection. His ideas have impacted every branch of the life sciences, as well as geology, paleontology and cosmology. But there is much more to Darwin's work than this one idea. A special exhibition opening Oct. 10 at the Sam Noble Museum in Norman features a complete set of first-editions of Darwin's written works, and sheds light on the man not only as an evolutionary theorist, but also as a global traveler, a geologist, botanist and thinker. "Darwin at the Museum" also will feature maps and illustrations, hand-written manuscripts and letters by Darwin himself, and specimens from museum collections relating both to Darwin's studies and to the research of current museum scientists. The exhibit is a collaborative effort between the museum and the University of Oklahoma Libraries, History of Science Collections. It will be on view through Jan. 18, 2010.
When Darwin published his famous On the Origin of Species in 1859, he had already published a number of highly respected works featuring his scientific inquiries. From the structure of coral reefs to the expression of emotion in animals, Darwin's insatiable appetite for scientific knowledge led him to delve into a wide variety of research subjects. The wide scope of works he published in his lifetime, numbering some 19 books in addition to numerous papers and monographs, may surprise many museum visitors. "Darwin at the Museum" offers a unique opportunity for the public to view all of Darwin's first editions in one place. The University of Oklahoma Libraries is one of only a handful of institutions in the world that can boast a complete set.
"A lot of people don't realize that originally, Darwin was best known for his work in geology and theology," said Laurie Vitt, curator of reptiles at the museum and co-developer for the exhibition. "There are so many sides of Darwin that people probably are not aware of. One of our goals is to show the comprehensive basis on which he did his work. It's stunning."
Kerry Magruder, curator of OU's History of Science Collections, and co-developer of the exhibition, agrees. "People may come in with a flat picture of who Darwin was," he said, "but viewing all of the books is a great way to see a different side of Darwin. He is known for his work on the origin of species, but most people don't realize that he wrote a book on emotional expression, a book on earthworms, a book on barnacles. People react to the breadth and beauty of his work."
Magruder points out the wide difference between how modern audiences view Darwin and how he was perceived by people during his lifetime.
"The Voyage of the Beagle was an adventure story," he pointed out. "In the 19th century, Darwin was seen as a scientist adventurer. He was a very romantic figure. I hope people will leave the exhibit with a new idea of Darwin as an adventurer, not the stodgy figure they see in portraits of him as an old man."
The element of adventure to Darwin's life and work is emphasized through a large map that shows the path of his five-year voyage around the world: from England to South America, through the Pacific islands to southern Australia, and around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.
Visitors will see a full set of clothing worn by the "gauchos," of South America, the exotic Argentinian "cowboys" whom Darwin spent time with and described in detail in his "Voyage of the Beagle." Illustrations in the book show how the gauchos hunted large flightless rhea birds using bolas: a long cord linking two leather-bound rocks that could be thrown to bring down the birds from horseback.
The exhibit will include a large model of the Beagle itself, and a video presentation featuring the beautiful illustrations of animals Darwin encountered on his travels. These lithographs were hand-colored by several well-known illustrators of the day. Alongside these will be specimens from the museum's collection of some of these same animals.
"Overall we want visitors to begin to understand that there are many sides to Darwin," Magruder said. "There is so much more to Darwin than meets the eye, and that's what people understand when you get all the books together in one place. He was somebody it's really worthwhile to get to know. I rank him with Galileo as one of the great scientific writers whose works had this extraordinary capacity to connect with people. Through his writing, he got people to think about a lot of different things, and we hope people will leave this exhibition thinking that they want to become reacquainted with Darwin... that they want to take their knowledge of him a little deeper."
"Darwin at the Museum" is part of a campus-wide year-long celebration commemorating the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth. Throughout the year the museum is hosting lectures, family days, and a seminar series, all focusing on the work and legacy of Charles Darwin.

Uncle Luke, the man whose booty-shaking madness once made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. This week, Luke — who is a candidate for Miami-Dade mayor — lays out his vision for kick-starting the local economy.
It's time for Miami to play to its greatest strengths: beautiful people, beautiful beaches, and beautiful weather. What do we need to do?
• Open casinos in Miami Beach hotels. Hey, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood is among the top-grossing gambling joints in the United States. So why not put more card games and slot machines in places that entertain our tourists?
• Allow medical marijuana dispensaries. We're missing out on a major growth industry. In March, Los Angeles voters approved a tax on pot distributors that is expected to generate $10 million a year to help pay for police, libraries, and street repairs.
• Create a water theme park near Miami Marine Stadium. Universal Studios or Disney could help. And Virginia Key, which was once the only place black people were allowed to swim, could be forever memorialized.
• Build movie studios. The Borscht Film Festival's success shows we have what it takes to compete with Atlanta to become the Hollywood of the South.
• Make Calle Ocho, Goombay, and other big ethnic festivals weeklong celebrations.
• Bring in the NBA All-Star Game, the NCAA Basketball Tournament, and traditional black college rivalry games.
Each one plays off having fun under the sun. Miami-Dade's unemployment rate dropped to 12 percent this past March because tourism is picking up.
We're already known as the city that created Miami Vice, so we might as well live up to the name. Gambling is a natural here. It's already bringing thousands of people to the old Flagler Dog Track, Gulfstream Park, and Calder. Back in the '20s, Miami was the American gambling mecca.
In fact, between the casinos, the theme park, the movie studios, and the dispensaries, we can create at least 20,000 jobs and $20 million in new tax revenue. Considering the hole that Carlos Alvarez and his friends dug for us, this is critical if we beautiful people plan to keep using our beautiful beaches and enjoying our beautiful weather.
We need a grassroots movement in Florida to lead the country into the future. Money controls everything in our society and currently we are high on debt and low on cash, especially in south Florida where pushing everything to the max is a lifestyle. Whatever means necessary to generate more cash in our tourism dominated service region is vital to our survival and prosperity. All of the ideas mentioned have tremendous potential, did forget about solar resources here and a better train system creation would get some jobs rolling. Let's please lead the nation in some positive aspect or another and unleash a comeback already!
Ok.. First of all. Mfee2079. You are a joke. Do your research before you open your ignorant mouth. Its because of people like you that this country is known for being stupid. Marijuana has a number of medicinal uses. And I sure as hell will be voting as well as promoting Luke for he has the right idea. Do you people not know what is truley going on in the govt right now? WE HAVE NO MONEY! Its that simple. We went to the middle east to cut off the Cerian Pipe Line so we could take their oil to come up w revenue. Now we go to Lybia to try to take their Lithium wich is used for nuclear energy. We dont even have the money to withdraw all of our resorces that we put in the middle east. In the meantime China holds a huge debt over our heads and laughs as we continue to sacrafice our soldiers in order to pay them their money. It is time that America starts thinking about restructuring our economy. What can we produce that other countries will want/need? Back to the basics guys. Its time to get rid of ignorance across the United States.. We cant afford it!
Luke, brother man, hint #1... Change the picture above. Those soup coolers need to be put in check dude!!
@mfee7029 man you need to smoke a little pot to relax dont talk about something you know nothing about obviously. I think Luke has ther right idea. Luke is from Miami he knows how people are here and he is absolutely correct I vote for that and for him. .drinking alcohol is the #1cause of deaths and what about the disgusting habit of cigarrette PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you realize how much we can save by not wasting law enforcement and incarceration money on pot users? You can not overdose, and a 2007 study done at Harvard shows THC decreases the growth of non small cell carcinoma by 50%. Why is pot illegal but sky diving and motorcycle riding, as well as use of tobacco (a known killer) is legal. 70 people a day die in broward county from cigarette related causes
Aside from glocoma relief for SOME patients and lowering the side effects of chemo Medical pot has no medicinal value. yet every 20 something pot head jumps on this as the saving grace. Sorry but most of you will not qualify for the prescription. As for tax revenue Los Angeles has 3 times the Miami population and is only getting 10 million in tax revenue? tell me what good is 3 million going to do for the trrouble Miami has? as for crime statistics every where there is a MMD person on person crime has increased. Tell me who came up with the idea that doing drugs will solve problems? if that was the case we would have lines of millionaires instead of prisons in every county
This is dead on. MMJ Dispensaries have been, and are, revitalizing cities like Denver as well. And guess what? So far there have been almost "0" problems. Look at the crime stats folks. He's right. You who disagree are just.......not very concerned about the needs of legitimate patients, actually.
Are you serious.... Or are you under the influence and can't keep your brain cells from making the proper connections.... Who in their right mind will cast a vote after this discourse.
Is this for real???? we Republicans are racists and the liberals are inmorals!!! another way to destroy our Country. Drug=Crime=prostitution=demoralization=expendig more $$ to controlling crime=young people future destroy. How smart!!!!
No thank you. I like Virginia Key the way it is, don't want to legalize gambling in Miami and don't need any more week long festivals.
if ur already legalizing weed and gambling, legalize cocaine too! more coke, more money!!!!
If you are a smart voter, you will NOT vote for another corrupt-self-serving-do-nothing Cuban politician from Hialeah or Little Havana. The ethnic voters of Miami-Dade have already screwed things up so badly how much more worse can it get? I would rather vote for a clown than any of these Cuban politicians Miami-Dade county has to offer. I got an idea for all you "beautiful" Miamians, stay out of that hot sun some and maybe you will be able to think for yourselves for once. smh
Luke, nobody wants to vote for someone who makes sense and has ideas on how to generate revenue. How dare you spout those ideas off???? You should go run for government somewhere else. Like anywhere else in the US that is not filled with a bunch of idiot, small-minded racist Republicans.
Uncle Luke, Uncle Tom.... same thing. Why is it race is always brought into an argument irrelevant of racism? You want more crime from broke gambling addicts, go ahead. Gambling addiction is just another way to take money from the poor and helpless just PRAYING to win it big one day. You think all the broke black brothers need another way to waste their money than the lottery? New times is garbage, racist bullshit, AND IM BLACK!!
<1>"It's elementary my Dear Watson!!" Casinos+Alcohol=Any Casino Town anywhere in the U.S.A., BUT... Casinos+Legalized Pot? There is NO precedent anywhere in the U.S.A.! The natural progression in legislation for casino towns is to outlaw everything but alcohol and gambling. It's ONE or the OTHER! <2>AND, with Casinos...The People Become Much Uglier! PLUS The Vice of Gambling Doesn't breed Concern for the Natural Beauty of the Beaches or Nature , Then, Southern Florida's Beauty WILL Fall by the Way-Side.........
This forum has become a joke. When this rag gives equal unbiased time to other candidates I will take it seriously. Until then, please dont bother to print any more garbage. You people at the New Times are all full of shit.
No, Luke. Although I like you, I have to disagree with your idea. Yes, it will generate money for the cities and state of florida; however, it would lead those that live here down the road to tragedy. I beg you, don't do it. Find alternative solutions. Keep the everyday people in mind.
Finally someone running for mayor that makes sense.. It's about time that someone opened there mouth in favor of the new options we have to create jobs and revenue. And look around for rational choices. Medicla MJ is a great idea, just like in california.. Lets take these profits away from the criminals and put money into the hands of the law abiding citizens and tax it to increase the revenues of the county. Come on people we are Miami the "305" we know how to make it work. The Casino Idea is good aswell we are a tourist city and thats what we need to attract. It's time to take politics out of the hands of these corrupt and closed minded politicians.. Uncle Luke il be voting for you Just keep Your Promises
Uncle Luke is the man! He will take a different approach to running a city that has long been curropted by people who portray themselves to be upstanding citizens. Luther dosn't need the money so chances of being bribed are slim and he is something completely different to the scum that has plagued our city for so long... Bring the casinos, pot and let the good times roll. Don't be a prude!!!!!
Excellent ideas....just remember a portion of the dollars you raise though these efforts will be needed to control these efforts with increased police funding. And speaking of police, if elected, please be sure to MANDATE that all police officers have a bachelor's degree in a related field before entering them into the academy.
www.pufmm.org support FLORIDA!!! lets get out of debt create revenue jobs!!! support for 2012 ballot..
HEY B RAY i don't see you coming up with any good ideas, the mans got some good ideas ah hell hes a genius. besides, whats your claim to fame free the herb mon
That has be the most idiotic suggestion I have heard all month.Congratulations Luther, you've finally come in first place at something.
Sad thing is that he is serious. If we can't provide a quality US city, then let's give up. Legalize drugs, child porn, prostitution, sodomy, and gambling. Then, when only the scum of the earth come around .... we can rethink.
could you please post a link where you obtained the info of person on person crime increasing wherever there is a dispensary? I would love to be able to have some hard data on that. Thank you...
this could be true if we didn't lock people up before they could get as rich as Cheach Marin
Some of you people need to realize that Dade County is broke and in order to come away form that we need changes. You sit here and complain about what this man is trying to do to bring revenue here to our county, what are you doing to help beside try to down grade every thing this man is trying to do to get us back afloat. You complain about the youth and crime right did you ever think about how the school system on the verge of firing good hard working teachers some of these things can help the school system with funding. Some of you need to get your head out your a$$ and wake up we are a falling county and for us not to see it well then we all must be blind. (WAKE UP PEOPLE WE DO NEED CHANGE).
In your dreams you coke head. You are the type of person I would not want to associate with. Luke's ideas may sound crazy but they sound better than what the Hialeah and Little Havana politicians have to offer: corruption and self-servitude.
carlos........congratulations.......YOU HAVE.......Governor Scott.....the Republican Party fighting amoung themselfs.....the T Party wackos dont know which way is up .....and in conclusion you have ......... Palin Trump Ron Paul Gingrich Bachman etc etc ...all fringing lunatics.....so you stay where you belong .....
Hey dipstick, perhaps that's why I am not running for office. I never claimed to have the solution, but if I put at least 3 brain cells on the job, I think I could come up with something better than gambling, and drug abuse. Looking at the sad state of affairs for the general population of nearly every American Indian tribe, only an idiot would make such suggestions.
I will take your obvious grasp of spelling and grammar into consideration when weighing the value of your input.
That's a disgusting way to approach something you disagree with. You should back it up with something substantial. I think you should give up and leave others to clean up the mess you most likely have for yourself.
I agree 100%. How can this moron Bonez compare weed with flake. I am Cuban born and I would never vote for any of the corrupt Latinos running in this election. We the tax payers been betrayed, lied to and stolen from for way too long by these self serving sons of bitches. I am ready for a change. If Luke screws up, we can always have another recall.
Sad state of affairs? Every tribe member rakes in an avg of 50-60 K tax free per year from the casinos
I will take your attempt at sounding intelligent through the use of vocabulary and grammar as a futile attempt to show that you aren't in fact , a very base life-form
You have a valid point. If they have grammar mistakes their argument ceases to make sense.
According to your stats 65.8 % dont live in poverty. I have dealt with the Seminole and Miccosukee Indians for decades and I can assure you my stats are correct. What stats and info they feed the US Government is all bullshit. Nobody but nobody in our Gov has any idea of what goes on in these reservations. So take your stats and go fly a kite.
Better check your stats.in 2008, 34.2% of American Indians have income levels sub poverty. Its even worse now. The typical Indian reservation is a slum. The hierarchy of the tribe is riddled with corruption. Some make big money, while MOST live in the crapper.
While this may not bother someone like you, it is not exactly the way I would want to raise my kids.
It does make one question the validity of their argument. Seeing someone who communicates like a retarded child makes one wonder about the amount of forethought that can be attributed to their opinion. "free the herb mon"? Let's not kid ourselves. The person who posted this drivel is an idiot who shows no evidence in their statement of education or adult reasoning. That is exactly who Uncle Luke wants to vote.

I am a lifelong resident of Virginia and am 52 years old. My wife and I had a dream to build a second home for family and friends to enjoy on weekends and during the Summer but once our kids grew up and went away to college we found ourselves not going to the lake as often as we used to so we decided to offer it up for a few Summer Weekly and year round Weekend rentals to offset some of the expense. Little did we know that the floodgates would open and our home became a favorite for many families that want to come back for return vacations and getaways. We rent our home far more than we get to use it ourselves anymore but we manage it ourselves to insure that every guests gets a perfect experience no matter what time of year they come. This is only possible because we make sure we visit the house before and after every rental. It is our long term desire to be able to retire at our Lake Anna home within the next 10 years and enjoy it all to ourselves even though our home has become the MOST POPULAR HOME on Lake Anna year in and year out.
"We built it from the ground up after seeing the 'Lot for Sale' signs while passing by on our boat when the community was first created. The views from the water were incredible when sitting in front of this lot and we could just imagine how beautiful the views would be from the house once we cleared all the forest away between the house and the waterfront. It took a few months to secure the land and ultimately get approval for our Luxury Log Home but we ended up being the first home to be built in this new upscale community even before the roads were put in. Our dream became reality after carefully choosing the home package from hundreds of log home companies. Every detail was custom as we imagined them. It is centrally located to all that makes Lake Anna great and before we could even move in we had people begging to let us buy it but we did not build it to sell .....we built it to enjoy our dreams! Never been disappointed for even one minute. Great neighborhood, Great People and Spectacular Home....what more could we ask for"

The water is crystal clear everywhere from our beach to our boathouse which is 250 feet out from the waters edge."

As we have moved into the gold work phase of this project we must sometimes evaluate our methods of getting work done. We had been working with an apprentice system which has served us well. But now with the vast amounts of plaited braid in front of us, we need to consider learning more from the past.
I propose a new means – Indentured Servitude to the almighty PLAITED BRAID. Yes, I am joking. I think that after two full days of working this monster stitch from 8 am to 11 pm, Judy was getting a little punchy last night. She quipped to her husband on the phone that she was now an indentured servant to the jacket. We giggled at what an ad would look like for this.
Judy has been embroidering at my house instead of the work room. Sometimes I bring a frame home to work on the instructions and since I had offered her a room for the week if she would stitch solid, it made more sense to have her work here while I worked beside her. It saves about 3 hours of driving to Plimoth a day and I can make her work even later! Thus an Indentured Servant!
Of course, working in my house has its perks. Such as food, water, a couch and DVDs. But it has some major detractions. They are called the "Heathens" and these little children like to get up at 5:30 am and have more energy than comes from an atomic bomb. Hard to sleep through the little tornados.
Hopefully Judy will get a nice night of sleep once she returns home. But for now she is making amazing progress on the plaited braid. I'm thrilled.
