A Maple Hill family publicly opposed to a national mining company digging a rock mine next to their property has been trying for two years to sell their land to that company for $20 million, according to testimony at an
Martin Marietta Materials is trying to get a special-use permit from the Onslow County Board of Adjustment to build a 1,800-acre quarry on N.C. 50 near
Brothers LeGrand and Burt Lanier testified they were opposed to the quarry. They said they began their 400-acre hog farm operation in 1991 on property adjacent to where Martin Marietta wants to build its quarry. The Laniers hired a geologist to survey their property after Martin Marietta first tried to gain approval for a rock quarry in the area two years ago. Burt Lanier said the survey showed they had as much limestone per square acre on their property as the proposed mine site. The Lanier property is assessed at $1.85 million, according to the Onslow County Tax Office.
The Laniers signed a confidentiality agreement with Martin Marietta in September stating they would support the company's attempt to gain a special use permit if the company purchased their land. Talks began two years ago with the Laniers insisting on $20 million, Burt Lanier testified during cross examination by Martin Marietta attorney,
Information from the meetings was made public during the hearing when the Laniers' attorney, Wilmington lawyer Charles Busby, objected to Mitchell asking questions of LeGrand Lanier that Busby felt was covered by the signed confidentiality agreement.
Since the agreement was discussed at length during the hearing,
When resting its case early in the meeting before the Laniers testified, Martin Marietta proposed as an added provision for the special-use permit to pay for any sinkhole damage to properties within 1,500 feet of the mine. The company also promised to pay for any hog waste spills as result of sinkholes.
Burt Lanier said that if Martin Marietta didn't honor their confidentiality agreement then he had no reason to believe the company would uphold its promise to pay for a hog waste spill.
"I am totally responsible for the hog farm," Burt Lanier said, adding that he initially approached Martin Marietta to sell his land because he was worried what a hog lagoon spill would mean.
The Laniers testified that their hog farm waste lagoon is several acres wide and 10 to 15 feet deep. They said if the lagoon was breached then 20 million gallons of hog waste would fill the rivers from Maple Hill to
A geologist hired by residents opposed to the quarry testified that sinkholes are synonymous with mines. He showed a map marking more than 20 sinkholes near an
He also presented documents from a state water quality report that attributed sinkholes in
Martin Marietta's attorneys previously called on geologists and hydrologists to testify that the proposed mine wouldn't cause damage to the local aquifer, the source of drinking water for most area residents, and that a mine wouldn't necessarily increase sinkholes.
The hearing will continue tonight at at the Onslow County Superior Courthouse.

If Sony or Microsoft goes through with used game restrictions, will you still buy their new consoles?
-- Yes. I don't mind paying for new games.
-- No way. I can't (or don't want to) pay for all new games.
-- Maybe, but only if a must-have game comes out for the consoles.
-- Eventually. I'll wait to see if a workaround is developed.

Have you samples all the Aramis offerings? Maybe something like Havana may be up your alley... Others to try that might appeal to you are Costume National Homme, and He Wood Rocky Mountain Wood and Potion both by DSquared2.
Thread: New Purcahse Advice
I've done this a couple of times over the years and its time again. Despite my overwhelming desire to go niche, with the 3rd kiddo here I just can't pull the trigger. Right now I have dropped a lot of what I sampled and wore before and pretty much am wearing TdH a majority of the time with Burberry London mixed in with the cold weather. I have Light Blue PH and Gucci by Gucci PH in the medicine cabinet with no urge to wear them ever again. I sold or used everything else. Pretty sad. I do love my TdH though. So the question is if you walked into Macy's, Sephora, Saks, Nordstroms..whatever..what is the one designer fragrance you would recommend to a 42..almost 43..year old father of 3 attorney who is in a pretty conservative office? I still sneak out and sample everything on the market weekly but I'm at a loss these days.
Quickly...I'm a big woods person and haven't really found any gourmand that fits me.

May I suggest a shortlist to try out instead of just one fragrance?
Blu Mediterrano Cipresso di Toscana
Bulgari Man
Jack Black Silver Label EDP
At Nordstrom -- Egoiste (not the Platinum version).
of those stores, try:
Eau Savage
Terre D Hermes
Angel Men
Dior homme sport, bleu de chanel, Tom ford grey vetiver
Just ONE spray of Norne or Vikt

You could always take an inexpensive step (I know, it's a slippery slope once you get started) into niche and go with Tam Dao by Diptyque.
It's a lovely creamy wooden fragrance with just enough dryness to make it smell different, but not too much that it's inaccessible (pay attention, L'DDM!)
The price isn't too bad, either.
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."

I will second Fahrenheit. I wear this several times per week, love the stuff! Really great for cool weather in my opinion too. But I'll be wearing it when it's hot as well.
Also the price is much higher, but damn if Chanel Egoiste isn't an awesome scent. I only just sampled it last weekend at Nordstrom and am looking for a better deal online.
Don't know if you have a Bloomingdales near you, but if so, you might want to check out Yves St Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme Le Parfum. It does the woody thing pretty well. I think you might l like it. Some say the EDT version leans feminine, but the Le Parfum version does not.
I think Neiman Marcus sells Lalique Equus, which is a nice cedar type of scent you might like, although it is a little spicy.
Another possibility would be F Black by Ferragamo. It's a leathery, woody type of scent that might work for you.
If all else fails, Pomegranate Noir by Jo Malone might be an option. It's a little fruity but has a really icy pine-like drydown that is simply wonderful. Don't be put off by the unisex label; it's really good.
I think all of these would be fine for the office.
Hope this helps.
At Macy's Aqua Fahrenheit.
Sounds like you're looking for CdG Wonderwood.
Thanks everyone...keep them coming. As for some of the suggestions..I'll look at Aqua Fahrenheit vs Fahrenheit. I wore Fahrenheit in the early 90s and I don't think the new version does it justice...too much gasoline. But last time I tried Aqua it was a muted version of what I remember the classic to be.
Buzzley, I'm not far from the Magnificent Mile so I have access to any Dept store. I'd like LaNuit if it was less feminine. So far that whole L'Homme group has gone on a little powdery on me.
I'll have to revisit Egoiste, try Wonderwood and look at these others.
I've tried a many things but I always go back and some surprise. That is how I fell in love with TdH. Had to revisit.
Bulgari Aqua was a fave but fell off that wagon. I always liked Bulgari PH Soir so I might have to look at that again.
Thanks again
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."

You are a perfect candidate for Cartier Roadster. It is a very fine woody scent with a lovely base. And the quality just oozes from it.
Too bad you don't like the Aramis line because the price quality ratio is really good for the brand. Aramis 900 is an excellent resinous patch, for instance. I second Egoiste, smooth sandalwoody with a touch of fruits, or the companion Antaeus, spicy.
At Sephora I've been loving Bulgari Pour Homme Soir (edit: already suggested I see. Good suggestion).
Also, if you love TdH, can't go wrong with Cartier Declaration, but I'm sure you knew that.
"It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing; it's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing."
Kenzo Power might be worth a shot - as well as Kenzo Bois. Power is nice on the balsa wood - check it out.
I too would suggest F*Black by Ferragamo.*I looked at this one for well over a year and recently bought a small bottle really cheap. Wore it today and really enjoyed it. Got complements on it too. An overlooked affordable gem.
Some Favorites
1. Amouage Epic man
2. Dior Leather Oud
3. Perris Monte Carlo Oud Imperial Black
4. Le Labo Patchouli 24
5. Amouage Opus VII
6. Byredo Bullion
7. Masque Milano Russian Tea
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
I feel like I somewhat know your tastes ToughCool.
I'd recommend checking out Kenzo Boisee, a nice vetiver/mint/peppery scent. Also, if you can find a sample of it (you can get them cheap on ebay, if nothing else) please check out 7 de Loewe. It's an awesome incense/vetiver/cedar scent with a touch of rose, orange blossom and red apple. As masculine and unique as TdH (and also has a lot of iso e super in it, along with a similar vetiver note), but a bit more 'lively'. It's such an amazing scent, and I will never understand how it didn't become one of BNs darlings as it checks all those boxes.
- - - Updated - - -
Also, give CK Encounter a sniff - preferably a sample wearing (and if you do, please wear only the Encounter as it is subtle and would likely get overpowered if you sampled other scents on skin at the same time.) I know a lot of people knock this scent but again I can't understand why. It's a nice boozy, spicy floral with hints of oud. It does have some clean and fresh notes, and in that sense it's a bit like Bleu (although Bleu is more shave cream clean, whereas Encounter is more 'deodorant clean') but I find them to actually be cleverly juxtaposed against the florals and oud. The boozy factor may make it a no-go in the office, and I think you might find it a bit too floral, but then again, maybe not. To me, it serves as a great all purpose scent and I find it fits my character better than Bleu does.

Adding a few to the mix:
Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme I was initially put off by the mint opening of this, it came off a bit medicinal to me, but on a second wearing I really grew to like it. Very woodsy and masculine. $62/$84
John Varvatos original. Nice leather/woody oriental $62/$82
Armani Code Ultimate Same base as the original, but much improved with an infusion of leather. Does not have huge projection which may make it safe for work, but it does have excellent longevity. $66/$84
Vince Camuto A nice frag with a great opening that hasn't received too much attention. Woodsy, leathery but not overpowering and nicely priced. $57/$70
Fan di Fendi Just now getting a wider release at Macy's, this opens up with a nice smokiness and eases into a smooth woody frag. I've only worn it twice, and I think it's worth trying. $59/$79
Hanae Mori HiM The edt will remind you of Gucci II but will have better longevity and a more woodsy dry down, the edp is a little more unique and spicy on the sweet side. Make sure to try both. $50/$70 edt, $70/$95 edp
After I did this and realized you wanted just one recommendation :} I totally failed at that, but hope you don't mind the choices
-Cologne is the only fashionable thing that fits me! (Me, circa 1997-present)
Try Bvlgari man and Bvlgari ph, also Gucci ph 2, Dscquared potion.
Guerlain Vetiver
Again, thanks to every single person who is giving suggestions. I'm writing it all down to I can revisit most of these again. Hopefully my tastes have developed some more and something jumps out. I smell scents here downtown and think "that smells good and professional" but I never know what it is. So hopefully something connects like TdH did.
SoS I have scene 7 de Loewe on ebay so I might check it out. Steeler...the more choices the better.

"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."
--Ben Hogan
I thought of a few more suggestions:
Beckham Homme - laugh at the name and pedigree if you want, but I don't think you'll laugh when you smell it. It's like a mix of TdH, Bvlgari Man and Chopard's Noble Vetiver. Citrus/woody/musky and overall an excellent scent. The fact that it's cheap as chips is just icing on the cake.
Bond #9 Brooklyn - this is TdH after a shave and shower, all suited up and drinking a gin and tonic. Some similarities to TdH although cleaner and more professional. Starts with a brief grapefruit/cardamom, then fades into a heart of juniper berries, and woods (cedar + guaiac) over a nice suede leather.
Chopard Noble Vetiver - bergamot and cardamom over a clean vetiver/clary sage combo. Professional as they come. Extremely smooth and polished.
Chopard Noble Cedar - Ok, I've not tried this one, but I imagine it might fit the bill based on what I've read. I know both this and Noble Vetiver are going for cheap on ebay these days. Many have said it maintains that same "noble" (read: refined and professional) character of Noble Vetiver, and that makes it worth investigating, at least.

I'd second the Encre Noir recommendation, also try Cigar by remy latour very inexpensive 10-15$ I think, with tobacco and spices as it layers pretty nicely with Burberry London (both are my first 2 frags) and quite well with Terre d'Hermes or you could opt for some musk oil or Oud oil from eBay or any specific site they don't cost much and last a lot and if layered properly, they will easily lift up some scents.
Try these:
The latest Brooks Brothers at Nordies
Encre Noire
Tom Ford for Men
Bleu de Chanel
YSL Rive Gauche
Based upon your tastes, I think each of these would work.
Another +1 on HiM, a different spicy frag. Idole de Lubin + Spicebomb= HiM
Founder- Cosa Nosetra
As a TdH also big fan, I would suggest:
+1 John Varvatos for Men (smooth leather, complex evolution, very very nice)
+1 Bvlgari PH Soir (bergamot, papyrus, musk, great for warm weather/offfice)
+1 Bleu de Chanel (very springy & casual, long lasting)
+1 Cartier Declaration (restrained, elegant, bitter-fresh-macho, imo)
Chanel Allure Blanche (lemony & creamy, easy to wear, versatile)
Burberry the Beat (pepper & vetiver, young spirit...this matters, not age after all)
I'm pretty sure all these can be found in the stores you mentioned. Good luck !

Thanks again everyone. Great stuff!!Sorry if I am not responding directly or mentioning every scent here but trying to wade through. The other day I tried some and it wasn't what I was looking for
Tried again..
Mont Blanc Legend--Wore this for part of the day and not as impressed as I was first time. It is like wearing Platinum Egoiste for an hour and then Fierce for a few hours. Not bad but a little "too much"
Gucci PH 2--Put this in a thread the other day but the tea note is way too much for me and I get this weird pickle juice vibe. Always have with this stuff.
Dior Homme--Tried for the 10th time. No matter what I do the iris is just too pronounced on my skin
YSL L'Homme.--I keep hearing it should be woody but I get powdery. Even the Libre version seemed like "this has been done 10 times already."
Kenzo Boisee--The first 20 minutes of this I was enjoying...then...I got a weird air freshener drydown that just made me think "Glade." Disappointed because I was enjoying it
RL Safari--It was there and wanted to see this again..funny..I still love this stuff. But there is a datedness that I can't escape while wearing it.
So right now I'm thinking of wearing in or testing in my next round" Bleu de Chanel; Cartier Declaration (I've tried this and Essence in past and the "B.O." vibe really was strong but will try again); Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme; Encre Noir (wore some in past but it is a faded memory); ....and really anything else I will cross
Also, for this purpose I used to love and wear Brooks Brothers Classic but I think they ditched that version and now have a new cologne that was mentioned above. I'll see if similar.
I may have to hunt down Bang too...used to love the pepper on me
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."
--Ben Hogan
Hit all the TJ Maxx's/Marshall's/Ross' before you buy Bang at retail. You should not pay more than $20. My wife loves this stuff on me.
Bleu de Chanel is office friendly and very appealing. It's a real people pleaser that my wife also likes. Same can be said of Chanel Allure Homme Sport (but not the Eau Extreme version IT REEKS).
Cartier Santos Concentree, for big, dark, sophisticated woody effects.
Another "big woods" for business, though not a department store scent: a light misting of Serge Lutens Chene. A good value, not a lot more $$ than upper-end department store, and it goes a long way. No more than two sprays and you're good for the day.

Join us in supporting The Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, introduced in Congress yesterday by Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Representatives Patrick Meehan (R-PA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL). This vital legislation will stop the transport of American horses to slaughter in Mexico and Canada, as well as permanently prevent it from occurring here in the United States. Please ask your Members of Congress to cosponsor the bill and help usher it to passage!
We've known for years that horse slaughter is an exceptionally cruel practice—whether it happens in the U.S. or elsewhere. Due to their biology and their psychology, horses cannot be slaughtered in a commercial setting without tremendous suffering and fear.
We also know that horse meat is not even safe to eat! Horses are fed de-wormers and other toxic drugs that can cause terrible reactions—including death—in people who eat their tainted meat. Consumers in the E.U. are just discovering the dangers they have unwittingly been exposed to, and the scandal grows daily.
In spite of this mountain of damning evidence, the USDA is currently processing an application for a horse slaughter operation here in the United States. Roswell, New Mexico, may soon become ground zero for horse suffering.
The ASPCA has worked closely with federal legislators and other advocacy groups to develop the SAFE Act. This bill will stop the pain and the suffering of equines caught up in this grisly business. Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to take action now to urge your U.S. senators and representative to cosponsor the SAFE Act.
Horses are in my opinion the most graceful and beautiful animals to ever walk the planet! They help with assisting special needs kids with physical therapy and are wonderful pets. The slaughtering of of such a special animal is truly disgusting! I am disgusted with Mexico and especially with Canada for allowing this to happen! How dare Canada legalize the slaughtering of an animal that does so much to help their country!! Mounties have always used these animals to save lives and keep it's people safe.
Please put an end to horse slaughter.
Horse meat? I don't think so. Please put a end to the madness!!
This is disgusting. Please ban all horse slaughtering facilities.
I think we need horse slaughter. Better then letting them suffer all you people need to look at the other side of this.I can't make a dollar selling quality horses because there are so many junk horses on the market that should be sent for slaughter. An go ahead an get down me. We are all entitled to our opions
Please do not kill horses, lambs or any animals
You guys need to discern yourself from the Secure Ammuntitions and Firearms Enforcement act. If I had to guess you guys are being used to undermine the reality of the NY SAFE act and get people to blog on how they support the SAFE act when really they have no idea what agenda they're supporting. Sounds like underhanded political mechanism at work to me.

Obama administration is putting Medicaid system at risk
While the Obama Administration's Medicaid expansion has been debated -- with Republican governors starting to relent in embracing it -- an administration attack on Medicaid payments has gone unnoticed. It bodes ill for the expansion's promise for millions of uninsured Americans and their prospective health care providers.
On February 25 before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the administration renewed arguing that states can arbitrarily cut Medicaid payments, without legal recourse for beneficiaries. "There is no general mandate under Medicaid to reimburse providers for all or substantially all of their costs," argued the administration.
This is a rather amazing abdication given that the federal government is responsible for paying no less than half the cost of the Medicaid program, and also enforces rigorous care standards in settings like skilled nursing facilities.
In a December 2012 decision, the Ninth Circuit wrote, "The idea that a state should consider providers' costs prior to reducing reimbursement rates seems at first blush to be logical." It then ignored logic by stating the only thing that matters is if enough providers take Medicaid. In effect, this was a freedom-of-contract argument that ignored the Hobson's choice where Medicaid is the only game in town. Think about state-paid in-home care, for example.
The decision, and the administration's position, also ignores a statutory requirement that Medicaid payments be consistent with "quality of care."
Are we to believe actual care costs bear no relationship to quality? Home care hours were arbitrarily slashed 10 percent in the last budget. What if they were slashed 50 percent? Would the administration still rubber-stamp cuts?
It is as if the administration is protesting sequestration in Washington, D.C. while secretly encouraging it in states. Not only is the administration's position alarming to advocates for those with disabilities, including AARP, it will give pause to those thinking about providing new Medicaid care.
Having run a statewide long-term care association, I have seen the future the administration's inconsistency portends, and it's not pretty. Over two-thirds of nursing home patients have their skilled care paid for by Medicaid. Perhaps another one-tenth of patients are utilizing Medicare benefits, which are limited to post-hospitalization stays and only pay in full for 20 days. Nursing home care is about as close to a single-payer system as we have.
And it is not a system that pays actual costs. Social services are first on the chopping block, as they are "discretionary" compared to, say, funding education -- a state constitutional duty. Thus, outgoing Gov. Chris Gregoire proposed delaying, at least until July 2015, updating nursing home Medicaid reimbursement -- which is still tied to 2007 costs. Most costs are wages. By January 2014, costs will also include mandated worker health care. Adding Medicare insult to Medicaid injury, sequestration brought a 2 percent Medicare cut.
Government expectations do not go away with its cuts. A Shoreline nursing home was recently cited for "Immediate Jeopardy" for a mobile patient who was smoking off-premises when a state surveyor, also smoking, saw him. Now, for one patient, the non-smoking facility was forced to create an on-site "Designated Smoking Area" -- replete with an emergency fire blanket the patient refuses to use.
For decades, the only means of redressing state harms to Medicaid beneficiaries has been federal courts. Why should the poor, and those who care for them at a loss, be disentitled to this remedy? What about equal justice under the law?
Last year, the Supreme Court narrowly avoided ruling Medicaid beneficiaries and providers have no legal standing to complain about payment - instead returning a case to the Ninth Circuit for more consideration. The decision, however, was 5-4 -- four justices, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, were ready to rob President Johnson's 1965 accomplishment of its vitality.
Why is President Obama still inviting them to? And what is health care reform's future in Washington, and elsewhere, if they agree?

Flank Tom Johnson and prop Joe Marler will play their first Test when England face South Africa in Durban on Saturday.
There could also be a debut for utility back Jonathan Joseph, who is named among the substitutes. In changes to the run-on side from their last Six Nations Test against Ireland, Marler replaces Alex Corbisiero at loosehead and Johnson comes in for Tom Croft at blindside.
In the back division, scrumhalf Ben Youngs ousts Lee Dickson, who drops to the bench, while in the back three Mike Brown's inclusion at fullback sees Ben Foden move to the left wing, with David Strettle out of the 22 altogether. Brown's inclusion is a clear indication that England expect to be bombarded with tactical kicks, the Harlequins man's aerial ability and counter-attacking ability seen as key.
Meanwhile Owen Farrell starts at flyhalf ahead of Toby Flood, the latter playing off the wood. Home town boy Brad Barritt starts at inside centre and Manu Tuilagi has had no recurrence of the injury that sidelined him until Monday, and starts at No 13.
Speaking about the debutants England head coach Stuart Lancaster said: 'Tom and Joe have had great seasons at their clubs and have worked really hard to get this chance, both are in great form and have really impressed in training.'
He added: 'Equally, Mike Brown has been outstanding for Harlequins. By moving Ben Foden to the wing we retain his strike power and aerial skills and can utilise not only Mike's attacking and defensive assets we can also call on his left footed kicking game.'
England - 15 Mike Brown, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Manusamoa Tuilagi, 12 Brad Barritt, 11 Ben Foden, 10 Owen Farrell, 9 Ben Youngs, 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Chris Robshaw (c), 6 Tom Johnson, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Mouritz Botha, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Dylan Hartley, 1 Joe Marler.
Subs: 16 Lee Mears, 17 Paul Doran Jones, 18 Tom Palmer, 19 Phil Dowson, 20 Lee Dickson, 21 Toby Flood, 22 Jonathan Joseph

Flyhalf Dan Carter has made the All Blacks touring squad that will travel to Argentina and South Africa over the next fortnight.
Carter is still nursing a calf injury that kept him out of New Zealand's home fixtures against Argentina and the Springboks. Head coach Steven Hansen will be hoping his star playmaker will recover in time to face South Africa in Soweto on 7 October.
The All Blacks have also added two other flyhalves to the squad in Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett, who will provide enough cover in case Carter fails to return to match fitness.
Hansen has omitted loosehead prop Wyatt Crockett as there will be enough prop selections among Charlie Faumuina, Ben Franks, Owen Franks and Tony Woodcock.
All Blacks touring squad
Forwards: Andrew Hore, Keven Mealamu, Charlie Faumuina, Ben Franks, Owen Franks, Tony Woodcock, Brodie Retallick, Luke Romano, Sam Whitelock, Sam Cane, Richie McCaw (c), Liam Messam, Kieran Read, Adam Thomson, Victor Vito.

Sorry About Today
April 6, 2009 - By Raymond
*I'm sorry about today, I really am.*
First, our web host was having trouble. Gone Raw got really slow as the day wore on, until I finally contacted our service provider. We got it straightened out, and we were back to our snappy selves again.
Then, something I put into the Gone Raw code, to help me troubleshoot... well, it kinda blew up. So the site has been broken for the last half hour or so. Needless to say, I got rid of that troubleshooting tool, since it has proven to be more trouble than it's worth.
Sorry about that. But don't worry, we're all better now!!

Game Over: Jerry Sandusky, Penn State, and the Culture of Silence
Game Over: Jerry Sandusky, Penn State, and the Culture of Silence (Hardcover)
The shocking details chronicling how a beloved coach and esteemed university became enmeshed in one of the worst scandals in U.S. sports history
It's a scandal that began in a place called Happy Valley. But it's not as happy as it once was, as the child-sex-abuse charges against a longtime coach and the conspiracy of silence surrounding the allegations have rocked America and Division 1 college sports.
The shocking stories started to pour out after the November 6, 2011, arrest of Jerry Sandusky, a former coach under the Penn State football legend Joe Paterno. Sandusky had been Paterno's top lieutenant for thirty-two years. He was also the founder of a charity, The Second Mile, that devoted itself to helping disadvantaged youth. It turns out Paterno was told about an incident involving an underage boy showering with Sandusky in the football locker room, but reported the incident to school officials rather than the police.
The numerous boys in Sandusky's program who have come forward told a grand jury lurid stories of a sexual predator who stalked and abused them, sometimes even in the showers of Penn State's football complex. In Game Over, journalists Bill Moushey and Bob Dvorchak investigate claims of a startling cover-up within the Penn State hierarchy that attempted to protect its football legacy, quite possibly at the expense of disenfranchised children.
Game Over is filled with the shocking details of how a culture built around one deified coach with a glorious vision to have "success with honor" fails to act in the best interests of the most vulnerable. University president Graham Spanier has been consumed in this firestorm along with Joe Paterno himself in what spiraled downward into the worst scandal in the history of college sports.
About the Author
Bill Moushey is a Pulitzer Prize-nominated investigative journalist who specializes in documenting abuses of the criminal justice system. He worked with the Pittsburgh Post Gazette for twenty-three years before becoming a professor in the School of Communication at Point Park University in Pittsburgh. In 1997 he won the National Press Club's Freedom of Information Award for his groundbreaking exposÉ of an out-of-control witness protection program.

Wow. I go to a lot of bakeries, but I'm rarely wowed all that much anymore. Living in France, where there is literally a bakery on every street corner (and a few on each block, in between the corners..), it's not that I've become blasé. But to me, a bakery is more about just racks or showcases of pastries, lined up, then dropped into bags and sent off with a customer.
Without getting all gushy, bakeries are really parts of communities; places where people get their bread, but also places where friends gather for coffee or a snack. And as soon as I pulled up in front of Bourke Street Bakery here in Sydney, I felt it was somewhere very special.

My friend and I got talking about fate the other day. I don't believe in "fate" as in somebody or something has pre-destined me to do certain things, however I think that we can create a "fate" for ourselves, and for others.
Obviously decisions I make affect more than just me. Where I spend my money, who I talk to, what I say to them, these are just the more obvious things.
Suppose then in the future I will be faced with a decision. I have options A, B, and C.
I can do something that will eliminate possiblity A, and then somebody else can do something that will eliminate option C. Therefore B could end up being my only viable option.
Rather crude example I know. However, I think its analogues to evolution and the "Blind Watchmaker" idea Dawkins came up with.
There is no "fate" as an overriding being, or destiny. However, with every decision that we make, or don't make, we shape a kind of fate for ourselves. "Fate" like evolution, works with the environment and materials it has.
"Fate" is kind of flying by the seat of its pants. To imagine myself, and every living thing that has ever lived on this planet, as being the engine of fate is kind of inspiring, though its also extremely scary.

(Santiago, Easter Island)
Easter's Island's distinctive ancient rock statues – called Moai – rise from the earth to salute time immemorial as you stroll among their long shadows on the slopes of an extinct volcano.
Here at Rano Rara, 397 of the imposing statues stand or lay where they fell in timeless testament to the ancient civilization that created them. You are free to explore this maze of monolithic stone on your hike up the slope towards the stunning crater lake at the volcano's peak, and take a moment to ponder this time-locked land in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Elsewhere on the island, visit the ceremonial village of Orongo – birthplace of the birdman competition; view the ancient paintings that adorn the walls of Ana Kai Tangata cave; and dip your toes in the Pacific Ocean at beautiful Anakena beach. You'll also experience mainland Santiago, where you'll explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of Valparaiso; relax in the pretty coastal town of Vina del Mar; and visit the home of Nobel laureate, Pablo Neruda.
Easter Island is renowned as the farthest island from any populated land on the planet, and its remote location has protected it from the influences of the modern world more than perhaps anywhere else on earth. Your team of private guides will expertly bring the island's ancient history and rich eco-system to life as they lead you into sacred spots of jaw-dropping beauty. You'll also enjoy a restful experience and warm hospitality at a premium beach-side island hotel, and in comfortable centrally-located accommodations on the mainland.

"We are back. We did have a wonderful time with our daughter and I certainly had no reason at all for being at all nervous that things would not go smoothly. Everyone associated with our time in Iguazu Falls was helpful, more than pleasant and always on time. I thought originally that we could manage such a trip on our own. But when we got there and saw the hassles we would have run into with the visas, border crossings, transportation and such, I realized that going the way we did was the wise choice. Absolutely we would travel with you again. And if anyone asks about the best way to see that part of the country, I would not hesitate to recommend KT. "

We enjoyed all of the locations we visited – the beauty of the landscapes, the sight of wildlife, the rich culture & interesting history of Argentina & the outgoing, positive attitude of its people. Our guides were terrific – so friendly & knowledgeable & helpful & enthusiastic! We had no delays or difficulties & our accommodations were outstanding. Have I mentioned that it was a FABULOUS holiday??!!! My thanks to you for coordinating, booking, confirming and generally taking care of our requests in planning our adventure. "

Thank you, Nella Huaringa, for planning this amazing journey!

"Wow! All my life, I have planned and organized our trips, requiring considerable research and contact time--not to mention, most significantly, all the stress involved at each destination to make sure all connections are made. This time, I put it in the hands of some extremely capable people--and sat back and relaxed. And relax I did! We were booked into full-service, quality accommodations at all times; our transport and tour guidance were all on an individual, private basis, except where public transportation was in order; and--most valuable to us--we were met and assisted through all travel/hotel connections. We truly felt pampered. At one point, in fact, we had a problem with an immigration paper that we had lost, and a Kensington representative personally accompanied us through the whole process of replacing it--even though we were officially "on our own" that day. That's what makes the difference--the responsibility and accountability toward clients. Kudos to Kensington and to our representative, Brandi Merchant. We are already planning more travel and see no reason to look any further than to an agency that has earned our trust. "

We were very happy with our choice of destinations and with the way the trip was organized. It was a lot of flying in two weeks but well worth it. Erika was able to accommodate a short-notice addition (Nazca Lines) to our trip which we appreciated. Thank you Erika for your help. Great trip!!"

It was wonderful to be out in a strange new environment yet know we had a safety net and a friendly face. The places we visited were awesome but I think we'll remember most the people that we met. Thank you and I'll send photos soon! Sincerely, Christina Adams"

Before building a fence in your yard, the first step is to decide what function you want the fence to serve.
If you want your fence to just be functional, such as to keep a pet in the yard, then you might want to consider a chain-link fence.
If you want a quaint fence that's meant more for decoration, then you might want to consider a white-picket fence.
If you are looking for privacy, then you want to look at tall, solid fence options.
Some people might want a combination of all of the above. For each case, when choosing the type of fence and materials make sure you are considering all of your needs.
