About the Owner
I am a Vermonter and grew up in central Vermont. I currently live in Saint Albans, VT and own the chalet in Montgomery as a second home. I love staying there myself but do not ski so I do rent it during the winter months and some during the summer.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Exactly as designed.
Loved the Save the Date card. However, I obviously didn't look at the size. They are the size of a thick book mark. I was hoping for the size of a postcard. They however, are exactly as I designed and the colors perfect. Very happy with the Save the Date other than the size, which was my fault.
Love the Save the Dates!!
I just received our save the dates last night and I absolutely love them. The only thing I don't care for is the size of them because I thought they were going to be a little bigger but that was my mistake when I ordered them. Other then that, I love them. They did a fantastic job on the colors and the quality of the card is great!
Everything I Wanted
I loved the amount of customization available and the design was perfect for what I wanted, I hardly had to change anything at all. The price was affordable for the great quality I received.
Great job
Very impressed with quality customer service and product overall
good quality and cute save-the-dates
My wedding has a rustic theme and my fiance is a big outdoorsy person so these were the perfect design. They are small, so don't be surprised like I was, but they fit the text fine and are legible. I chose a different font than the sample. The cards are a good quality and thickness and the coloring is great. I picked the red leaves since my accent color is red.

New London — Building contractor Bruce P. "Bruno" Hayn Sr., who led two volunteer efforts to rebuild homes destroyed by fire, was sentenced Thursday to eight years in prison, suspended after four months served, for the 2011 torching of his Norwich business.
The sentence includes four years of probation and 300 hours of community service.
Hayn, 57, of Colchester was the owner and operator of Shur Fire, a company that sold wood stoves and products and pellet fuels located at 340 W. Thames St. in Norwich.
Judge Hillary B. Strackbein said Hayn's sentencing for third-degree arson was one of the hardest in her career; she commented that she had never seen so many letters in support for a defendant. The court received 45 letters in support, according to Hayn's attorney, Patrick Tomasiewicz.
Strackbein said the suspension after four months was as generous as she could allow while still fulfilling her obligation as a judge to deter business owners and others from committing similar crimes. She said that the crime actually constituted arson in the first degree.
"All of the work you've done in the community is just outstanding," Strackbein said to Hayn of his contributions to the community, which Tomasiewicz and friends and family who spoke during the sentencing outlined. "But what I can't ignore is the planned arson."
Prosecutor Lawrence J. Tytla has said that Hayn put a wad of paper towels into an electrical panel to ignite the fire that caused extensive damage to the two-story, 9,000-square-foot building.
Investigators recovered surveillance video that showed Hayn in the ground-floor warehouse where the fire originated with paper towels in hand and showed him leaving the building with smoke and particulates in the air, according to Tytla.
Hayn plead no contest to third-degree arson in April, accepting an offer from the state also involving a sentence of eight years in prison, but suspended after two years served.
In his argument for suspension after two years, Tytla said that Hayn differed from "knuckleheads" who might set a fire by accident or while drunk, in that he had a lot of "sophistication and understanding" and knew what he was doing.
"This was an intentionally set fire," said Tytla.
He described how in camera footage of the fire, Hayn is "seen in the building with smoke and particulates in the air," before closing the doors and leaving the scene. Five fire departments were called to the fire, according to Strackbein.
Tomasiewicz structured his argument around "the good book," which he defined as a metaphorical ledger of good deeds to be weighed against Hayn's crime. He brought in numerous character witnesses, including Colchester Fire Marshal Reed Gustafson, who spoke in his capacity as a private citizen, and Carol Girard of Voluntown.
As president of Home Designs by Bruno, Hayn led a team in rebuilding Girard's home, which had burned down, during an "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" project in December 2008. Girard's husband and oldest child drowned in the summer of 2008, roughly a year after their home burned down.
Girard said that Hayn "built me a castle with a drawbridge." She said that he continued to visit her in the months after the show was filmed to check on her and the home and advise her on home insurance and other matters. She said that Hayn stayed in touch with her family and at times provided her four children with career advice.
"He was truly a gift to my family when I needed it most," she said.
Hayn's wife, Patricia, told the judge tearfully, "If I stood here all day, I could not explain how this happened." She said that preceding the fire, Hayn had damaged both his knees in an accident at a building site. She described life since the fire as "a nightmare."
Patricia told the judge that Hayn and his family were committed to making restitution to those who lost assets in the fire, which Tomasiewicz said include the owners of the building that housed Shur Fire and Travelers Insurance.
"If he is incarcerated, that will make it all the more difficult and impossible," Patricia said.
Tomasiewicz listed some of the more prominent individuals who had submitted letters on Hayn's behalf. He said that in addition to Gustafson, retired police officer Robert Kanaitis, who has served in Hartford and New London, and former First Selectman of Colchester Jenny Contois has written to the court.
He said that the real punishment for Hayn was the tarnishing of his reputation due to the fire, which he said would be an albatross for his client. He said his client had gone from living in a large home that he built himself to living in an apartment and worrying about making rent.
Hayn was a longtime member of Colchester's Board of Finance. In addition to his work with "Extreme Makeover," he was part of a volunteer effort to rebuild a family's house in Griswold that had been destroyed by fire.
In 2009, Hayn was presented the Distinguished Service Award by the Builders Association of Eastern Connecticut as well as the Toastmasters International Communication and Leadership award.
"He's lost everything — his reputation. He's lost his business. He's a pariah," Tomasiewicz said.

I think you are wise to want to raise your score. I'm in a similar position, but my score is now 750ish...I would like to try for 800+
I think that stuff falls off of your score after 5 years, right?

More than 55 volunteer lawyers will provide free legal advice to the public at the "Law-La-Palooza" event on Thursday, June 5.
The Volunteer Attorney Program and the Second Judicial District Pro Bono Committee will host the event at the Lew Wallace Elementary School, located at 513 6th St. NW, from 3 to 6 pm. The free legal fair is designed to help low income people and families facing difficult legal issues.
"This time, we will have about 20 lawyers with experience in family law," said Pro Bono Committee Chair Judge Shannon Bacon. "This means we will be able to advise more people with problems such as divorce, child custody, separation and other difficult domestic issues."
Each member of the public attending can expect to be able to talk with an attorney for about 30 minutes, the judge explained. The lawyer can refer him or her to other legal resources or assistance to get the problem solved if it can't be handled immediately.
"People should bring all their documents or background paperwork so the attorneys get full details," said Judge Bacon.
Interpreters and bilingual attorneys will also be on site and ready to help.

My girls have just got their first gig as babysitters. A young mom with four little ones from our church just called and asked if they could come mind the kids while she helps her husband out with the phones and books at the new business he just started.
It seems very strange to think that my two little girls could be old enough to take care of someone else's little girls (and boys). Yet there's Meelyn out in the kitchen making a big pitcher of iced coffee -- I'm embarrassed to tell how quickly the first one disappeared -- and Aisling is at the piano playing her Mass music and they both seem so...competent. And so old, somehow.
Because I'm thinking it could only be, like, yesterday, when Meelyn, with little sticky-uppy pigtails and tiny white teef, was tugging on my hand and earnestly asking to go out back to play in the little "fwee cool," her own brand of toddlerese for "swimming pool." And Aisling, who endured her babyhood with a grim determination worthy of the RAF during the Blitz, was crawling through the house, gripping her ever-present baby bottle full of cold water, stopping every now and then to turn herself upright and take a few fierce sucks before going back to all fours and crawling off in search of new areas of the house to conquer.
I honestly can't decide if this makes me happy or sad. Which is it?

As title says, I love these blades! I can no longer find them in stores local to me as everything is being replaced with the 4, 5, and 6 blade. I refuse to use others. I don't like the newer blades, how they feel, how they work, nothing. These are my absolute favorite. Thank you My OTC for carrying them!! They don't nick me like others do, even when in a rush!
Helps to shave with out any rashes it gives clean shave with the perfect edge.
Due to the hormonal changes I have experienced as I have aged, I have had to do something about the hair that now grows on my chin and upper lip. I didn't like waxing; it hurt and I didn't like the diplatories because I have sensitive skin. I decided to try shaving. I tried the Schick Silk Effects Plus Razor with Aloe and it does an amazing job. I have very nicks and it shaves really close. I can usually get by with two days before I have to shave again. Unfortunately, I can't find the razor in stores. I can find the blades but not the razor itself. The only problem I can find with the razor is that it will mildew inside it where water sits. I shake it out really well and dry it off then store it standing upside down in the medicine chest cabinet so it will drain and I have no problem. I'm just glad they still make it because I've tried other razors and nothing works as well on my face. I"m thinking of stocking up.
This razor is perfect! You dont need shaving cream and it slides along your skin so smoothly! I loved it within the first minute of using it!
I got my daughter the Schick Intuition when she started to shave I made her a little gift basket and this razor is by far her favorite thing that was in her basket. ps I have used it for years and love it .

Jan 28, 2013 After a poll of Texas' Gatesville Independent School District's employees found widespread support for allowing those employees to carry firearms on campus, district Superintendent Stewart Speer says he supports having two armed school officials for every 400 students on the district's campuses. Other members of the Texas school district's faculty and staff called for more moderate measures, such as having school employees carry pepper spray or Tasers.

Marvel, you could certainly create a toString in your customer class that concatenated everything in the objects contained within.
As far as displaying them all.... well, you could pop up a new dialog using joptionpane for every single one, but that would require the user to click through each and every one. If you don't have a requirement to use a GUI, it's very straightforward just to iterate through a loop and do a System.out for each record you want to print. JTables would be a nice, neat way to list them, but they can be difficult to work with. Could also use a JTextArea. It really depends on what you're most familiar with, and exactly what the requirements for this project are.
I've got the toString methods and right now it's currently looping through the items on the list but like you said the user has to click through every item. There's nothing in my assignment objective that doesn't allow that but I think it sucks to have to click through.
How would you recommend displaying everything at once using a scroll window with joptionpane?

Here is a great set of fully illustrated instructions for building a copy of the famous Chinese antique repeating crossbow. Thi amazing crossbow is quite easily built in your workshop.
Hundreds of years agoThe Chinese invented this amazing repeating crossbow<. The magazine can be filled with as many as fifteen arrows or bolts.These arrows can then be fired rapidly in quick succession. Fifteen bolts could be fired at the enemy in a minute or even less.
A small group of crossbowmen using this type of repeating crossbow could pour hundreds of arrows on an advancing enemy army. Needless to say this could be very discouraging to the enemy soldiers. The tips of the crossbow arrows were quite often covered with poison so that even a slight wound from this could be fatal.
The working mechanism of this amazing repeating crossbow is really very simple and it is easy to build a working reproduction of this bow. Get your fully illustrated instructions now and build yourself one of these interesting antique weapons.Check it out on eBay at: http://goo.gl/ifm2E or on our blog at: http://builddoityourselfprojects.blogspot.ca

In 1883, the year when Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson solved the case of the Speckled Band, an equally baffling real-life killing drew another noted team of detectives to the Western Lunatic Asylum (later renamed the Western State Hospital) in Staunton, Virginia.
On the morning of 24 February 1883, just after receiving their regular liquid medications, seven male patients lost consciousness. Four died almost immediately, two died in the next three days, and one recovered. An eighth patient vomited and experienced other ill effects, but recovered in a few days. A coroner's inquest concluded that the victims' cups of medicine must have been poisoned while sitting in an unlocked hall cabinet the previous evening. Other patients, taking the same medicine which had not been left in the cabinet, had no problems. Dr. W.W.S. Butler, head pharmacist at the asylum, testified that no poisons were missing from the dispensary. Autopsies were performed, and University of Virginia chemistry professor John W. Mallet used the latest forensic techniques to analyze three of the victims' stomachs and their contents. Mallet concluded that the poison used was aconitia (also known as aconitine), an extremely toxic extract of the aconite or monkshood plant, and the coroner's jury agreed. The asylum pharmacy had a bottle of highly diluted "tincture of aconite," but Mallet thought it was not strong enough to … read more »
Cornbread and cabbage turned lethal for one Petersburg woman, but it was another woman's need for some chicken feed that exposed the death as something more nefarious than a simple case of food poisoning. Parmelia Williamson became "deathly sick" after consuming what proved to be her last meal on 9 June 1909. Junius Williamson, Parmelia's husband, first used the word "poison" to describe his wife's condition because he did "not think she washed the ham as it oughter [sic] have been." Even Parmelia said "her stomach felt like it did when she was poisoned in the country."
Attended by her husband and neighbor Delia Brooks, Parmelia was examined by a Dr. W. C. Powell who pronounced it a case of "Cholera Morbus," but Parmelia insisted, "I have no Cholera Morbus, I am poisoned." He gave her a hypodermic injection, put hot water bottles to her feet, and left. As she continued vomiting, her condition worsened, and she threw her arms up and said, "Delia, save me, do not let me die…save me for the sake of my poor little infant baby." Another doctor, James E. Smith, was called and pronounced that Mrs. Williamson would not live two hours and that she had been poisoned by arsenic or "Paris Green," a compound used as an insecticide for produce in the 1900s.

The last day of the year, a perfect time to look back and see where and what I ran this year.
I did 9 races! I didn't realize I had done that many.
In February I did my first trail race, which was a 10K and not one of my favorite races, but I'm glad I did it. Now I can say I did a trail race.
In April I had two big races – the Cherry Blossom 10 miler and the Ocean City MD Half Marathon, which was my first "real" half marathon (the previous one was a virtual race, and therefore not really a race). I really enjoyed both of those races, and I would like to do them again in 2013. The Cherry Blossom has a lottery and I didn't get in, but there is a bib exchange in February so I can try again then. And my friend with the beach house in Ocean City is already planning on a half marathon weekend (she doesn't run, but she is the best fan ever!)
May saw my worst 5K ever, wow, that was a disaster. It was a beautiful day, with a really hilly course, like 13 hills in 3 miles. But it was for a good cause, and everyone has a bad day.
Then July 4th I had my best 5K since 2009, a race I have done every year since I started running. It is the Potomac Autism race, held only a couple of miles from my home and all of the neighbors run or walk, even Mr. Lemon.
I was training for my next half marathon over the summer, and that took place at the beginning of September, which happened to be the one year anniversary of my cancer surgery. The race was tough at the end because I got a little too fast in the middle miles, but it is a really nice race through Rock Creek Park.
Also in September I started coaching the beginning 5K training program in our county running club, which was great fun. As practice for our 5K we did a cross country race in October, which was my first cross country race. My time was awful, I had a bad case of achilles tendenitis and was in physical therapy, but it was a fun race.
Also in October I took the RRCA coaching certification program, and I am now a certified running coach!
November was the month for the 5K that we had been training for, and it wasn't a bad race for me. But it was sad because it was the last time I saw one of my best friends (that is her up above in the half marathon photo) as she moved to California that very afternoon after the race. It is hard to find friends who like to both run and drink. Here is our whole pace group:
My last race of the year was on Thanksgiving, the Turkey Chase 10K, which is a fun race, but seems to be getting more and more crowded every year.
And in perhaps the most exciting new running adventure, I am now the Program Director for the Galloway running program in my county! And not only that, but they invited me to the program director meeting in Houston, TX in February! Which means they pay my airfare and hotel and I get to hang out with running program directors for three whole days. Wow.
And another exciting thing happened this week – I am now a blogger for an online magazine, Jennings Wire . You can read my first blog post here .
Have a happy new year everyone, and I'll see you in 2013!

To Be Announced
The Spring Open Bass Tournament was held last Sunday at Lake Lakengren. The winning names will be published for 1st through 5th place in next week's column. Also the names of the 1st and 2nd place winners of the Biggest Bass contest. All fish caught are returned to the lake.
Lodge Fire Pit Gets Overhaul
There has been a makeshift fire pit at the Valhalla Lodge for several years, but some folks got together and decided it needed an upgrade. Thanks to Jim and Dan McCargish, Kevin Bowser, Dalton Walters, Kevin Thorpe, and Bill Hapner, the classic design has now been expanded to a beautiful outdoor setting.
If the weatherman cooperates, a dedication of sorts with community members, food, and music are to be on hand for a christening of the new fire pit this Friday evening.
Sojourner Truth Portrayal
On Wednesday, May 7, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. at the Marina Club House, Dr. Annette Jefferson, professor at the University of Phoenix, Columbus Campus, will present a program on Sojourner Truth. Truth was an ordinary woman, illiterate and untrained, who did extraordinary things. Several years after "walking away" to obtain her own freedom from slavery, she became a national spokesperson for the rights of women in this first person portrayal. Truth shares her amazing life story through personal anecdotes, songs and stories, explaining how she overcame repeated challenges in service to herself, her family, and mankind in general.
Dr. Jefferson, who portrays Ms. Truth, is a three-time graduate of the Ohio State University with a doctorate in Social Work Administration. She has traveled the length and breadth of Ohio and beyond to share American history through African American history. A trained educator, Jefferson teaches creatively through telling and training. She is founder and Chief Creative Officer of DeARK Enterprises, where the mission is "linking past to present and empowering futures."
Dr. Jefferson's portrayal of Sojourner Truth is sponsored by the Lakengren Women's Club. It is free and open to the public despite it being held within this gated community. All are welcome, but must enter through the front gate off of Ohio 732. The Club House is located at the south end of the lake on Lakengren Drive near the dam. Signs will be posted.
This program is made possible in part by the Ohio Humanities Council, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
A Date is Helpful
Sorry, Gasper Fire Fighters, the date of your upcoming Spring Car Wash coming up next month was overlooked. The date they chose to wash cars, trucks, boats, campers, RV's or any other dirty piece of transportation equipment is Saturday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot of the LWA Building at the front gate of Lakengren.
Until next time firstname.lastname@example.com

Chargers don't need any more scenarios
Few who have ever uttered words can scramble a cliché with the silky and assured smoothness of Chargers left tackle Marcus McNeill.
"There's a lot of scenarios, but scenarios were made to be broken," McNeill said this week in discussing the Chargers' predicament.
McNeill says it -- his voice a hint of R&B, his smile a hint of preacher – and you want to believe it was not only meant to be said that way but also is undeniable.
And, well, two years running, the Chargers have shattered scenarios, making obscure NFL history in their march to the postseason.
Lose a fourth straight game Sunday, they can try to do it again.
"I've been down that road," tight end Antonio Gates said. "… And we kept pushing. We struggled, we fought and we scratched."
Well, not quite this road.
The Chargers face a nearly impossible climb. Since 1990, just three teams (out of 99) have made the playoffs after starting a season 2-5. Should the Tennessee Titans Sunday ruin the Chargers' perfect record in home games that are blacked out, then the Chargers would be on a mission to become the first ever team to get to the postseason from 2-6.
In 2008, the Chargers became the first 4-8 team to go to the playoffs. In '09, they were the first team to come from 3½ games behind a 6-0 division leader to win that division.
And, heck, they've already accomplished the unthinkable and even the unprecedented in winning just two of their first seven games this season, losing week after week in similar ways, yet continually improving on the absurdity.
"Never in a million years would you think this," cornerback Quentin Jammer said. "The only way you see a season like this if you were writing a book about a fictitious football team."
Even then, the following confluence of circumstances (offered for perspective in an attempt to grasp the strange season at hand) would be seen as implausible:
• The Chargers have used a league-high 63 players and Sunday could use two more that were added to the roster this week.
• According to Elias Stats Bureau, the Chargers are the first NFL team to ever have two kickoffs, a punt and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown in the same season it also had a field goal blocked and another blocked punt returned for a safety.
• In the season opener, the Kansas City Chiefs gained 197 yards against the Chargers and won 21-14, the fewest yards the Chargers had allowed in a loss since 2000. Six weeks later, this past Sunday, the New England Patriots gained just 179 yards in their 23-20 victory over the Chargers.
• The Chargers have outgained all but one of the teams they've lost to by at least 184 yards. They had 247 more yards than the Seattle Seahawks in the latter's 27-20 victory last month, the sixth-biggest yardage advantage by a losing team in NFL history.
• While the Chargers' No.1 rankings on both defense and offense are misleading in that opposing offense haven't had the ball very much, haven't had to drive very far when they do and have been protecting second-half leads, it is nonetheless mind-bending the Chargers are 2-5. The previous eight teams to have led the NFL in both offense and defense for even one week were a combined 62-7 at the time they did so.

The question that will burn in a reader's mind when she finishes Some Luck, Jane Smiley's marvelous new novel, is: How long do I have to wait to read the second volume in The Last Hundred Years trilogy?
In Station Eleven, Emily St. John Mandel envisions the world after a major flu pandemic has wiped out most of the population, though the themes in the book feel more timeless than typical for the post-apocalyptic genre. (What makes a fulfilling life? Is art worth saving when there's so little left on earth?) We caught up with St. John Mandel about her suspenseful and intelligent new book.
British author Nick Harkaway is known for his ability to fearlessly blend genres in novels like The Gone-Away World. In his third novel, Tigerman, he mixes parenting, superheroes and geopolitics in the story of Lester Ferris, a British Army sergeant sent to a remote island outpost on what is supposed to be a simple assignment. But Lester refuses to ignore the shady goings-on in Mancreau, and his growing relationship with a native street kid complicates things further. We asked Harkaway a few questions about superheroes and being a dad.
In her lovely new memoir, My Salinger Year, Joanna Rakoff takes readers on a tour of mid-1990s New York City—from the hallowed halls of an esteemed literary agency to the not-yet-gentrified streets of Williamsburg—as she settles in to her first real job.
What inspired you to write the book? Is there any significance to the timing of the publication?
This is a surprisingly difficult and complicated question, as My Salinger Year could also be called "The Book I Kept Trying Not to Write!"
Novelist Ayelet Waldman takes a detour from contemporary fiction in her latest book, Love and Treasure.

California-born author Maggie Shipstead returns to fiction with a dazzling second novel, Astonish Me. The story of a ballerina that spans decades, it's as sharply observed as it is entertaining—and was our April 2014 Top Pick in Fiction. We asked Shipstead a few questions about the book.

In her second novel to be published in the U.S., British author Jo Baker takes on one of literature's most hallowed works: Pride and Prejudice. Reaching beneath the surface glamour of ball gowns and verdant estates, Longbourn exposes the hard, manual labor required to keep Elizabeth Bennet's repeatedly muddied petticoats a pristine white. Though the Pride and Prejudice hook might be what attracts readers, Longbourn proves to be a fascinating novel in its own right. We asked Baker a few questions about the new book.

Arab Bank Plc, facing lawsuits over allegations that it aided Middle Eastern terrorists, said it asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stop a federal judge from imposing sanctions it claims may cause it to lose at a trial.
Jordan's largest lender said it filed a petition today challenging the sanctions, which include instructions to jurors that they can consider the bank's refusal to turn over certain customer records as a sign that it did business with terrorists. The Amman-based bank, which said it didn't provide services to terrorist groups, said it was barred from handing over records under criminal laws of Jordan, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories.
The sanctions "gag the bank on the critical state-of-mind issue as a penalty for obedience to foreign criminal law," the lender said in the petition, which was provided by bank representatives and couldn't be immediately confirmed in public court filings. "The draconian sanctions here violate international comity and endanger U.S. interests in a highly volatile region."
The bank was also told it cannot make certain arguments in its defense and must pay more than $1.3 million in fees, according to the petition.
Appeals Court
Arab Bank took the dispute to the Supreme Court after the U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled that the challenge must follow a final decision in the case. The bank said the appeals court should have exercised its authority to take up the case.
Thousands of U.S. and foreign citizens have sued the bank, claiming it did business with charities that were affiliated with Hamas and Palestinian suicide bombers involved in attacks in and around Israel. The suits, consolidated before U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon in Brooklyn, New York, collectively seek hundreds of millions of dollars in civil damages for injuries and deaths from the attacks, according to the bank.
At a hearing in April, Gershon rejected the bank's request to throw out the suits. She tentatively scheduled a portion of the cases on behalf of 296 people, including the victims of 24 separate attacks, for trial in September or October. A more definitive date hasn't been set.
In addition to the question of sanctions, the bank also asked the appeals court to review claims filed in the cases under the Alien Tort Statute, which allows foreigners to sue in U.S. courts when a party violates a U.S. law. The bank argued that the court doesn't have power to decide those claims.
Most of the 6,596 individual plaintiffs in the consolidated suits are filing claims under the Alien Tort Statute. Others are bringing claims under the Anti-Terrorism Act, which allows U.S. citizens to seek civil damages from parties that aid terrorists.
Separate Suit
In November, Arab Bank won the dismissal of a separate suit filed by former Israeli government official Mati Gill, who was injured in a 2008 by a shot fired from Gaza.
U.S. District Judge Jack Weinstein in Brooklyn ruled that Gill didn't show enough evidence that the bank played a role in the attack to send the case to trial.
Filing a petition to the Supreme Court doesn't necessarily mean the court will decide to take up the case. A very small fraction of the petitions are granted, said Gary Osen, a lawyer for the plaintiffs. The bank is doing "anything to push off the day of reckoning," he said, declining to comment further.
The case is Linde v. Arab Bank Plc, 04-cv-02799, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn).

Need some advice
Started this last night, it my third time ditigal painting. I sketched it out in adobe then began rendering. I feel like there is something weird going on with her left eye, right by the pupil. I don't know if its to big or in the wrong place. Its driving me nuts. Anyway if you can help me out and I'm stuck once again on the nose can't seem to get it working right I get to one point then can't seem to get anything else out of it. Oh the arrow is not pointing at the eye that I think is against me, its my light source.

try moving the white spot on her left eyes pupil over more to the middle to make it look more straight, and for her nose i think it needs to curve more to fit the other eye and eyebrow connection
November 28th, 2005 #4
firstly, and most importantly...
never work on a white surface, especially when developing sking tones.
everthing will look gray and dull, because it cant compete with the intensity of a white.
look how much more powerful the eyes can be when you use white wisely.
also, use a wider range of warm and cool colors.
adding some reds will really bring it to life.
remember, for the most part, white acts as a cool color.
it only looks warm when placed in the center of an intensly warm color like yellow.
you have some drawing errors in the eyes.
i suggest you get reference.
here are some color modifications to get you started.
i started by laying a transparent black gel across the image,
and then erasing out the highlights.
this is a quick way to establish cool shadows.
then, i go back and modify everything a bit.
i went into variations, and made the image a little warmer,
then re-established the intense highlights.
i hope this helps you:

black gel??? what's that, Dan?
November 28th, 2005 #6
Thx guys for the tips.

in Painter, a transparent layer is called a gel.

November 28th, 2005 #8
Good stuff Dan, awesome to learn from someone elses post...
I think a big thing on the eyes is the pupil should be centered in the iris, but yeah definetly use a reference. You'll learn more that way.
A gel layer in Painter is closer to a multiply layer in PS I think.

Farenthold running, just not sure where
CORPUS CHRISTI - U.S. Rep. Blake Farenthold on Saturday night announced he will be seeking re-election, he just does not yet know where.
Following a U.S. Supreme Court decision on Friday to put on hold the use of maps drawn by a lower court in San Antonio, the first term freshman Republican said he now must hurry up and wait.
"I will seek re-election to Congress," he said at an event at the Havana Club that doubled as his 50th birthday celebration and a campaign kickoff. "When the final maps are approved, we will weigh our options."
Congressional maps drawn by state lawmakers earlier this year later were thrown out by the lower court in San Antonio in favor of maps they approved 2-1.
Under maps drawn by state lawmakers, Farenthold's 27th district remained anchored in Corpus Christi, jettisoned all counties south of Nueces County and shifted north, encompassing all of Nueces, Aransas, Refugio, Calhoun, Jackson and Matagorda counties before doglegging into portions of Colorado, Lavaca, Gonzales, Fayette, Bastrop and Caldwell counties.
Under the court drawn maps, the 27th District now is anchored in Brownsville and extends along the South Texas coastal counties of Cameron, Kenedy, Kleberg and Willacy. Its northern boundary includes about 70 percent of Nueces County and ends just a few blocks from Farenthold's home on Ocean Drive.
So far, Valley Democrats Ramiro Garza and Armando Villalobos have joined Rose Meza Harrison, from Nueces County, in filing to seek the 27th District seat.
No longer a resident of his home district, Farenthold now is the incumbent in the court drawn 34th District that extends from his neighborhood south and includes areas that account for about 30 percent of the Nueces County voting age population before jogging north through Aransas and Calhoun counties.
The district then turns inland, gobbling up a wide swath of territory that includes all or part of 11 other counties, including a portion of Harris County that accounts for one-third of the district's almost 700,000 voting aged residents.
Calling the maps a perfect example of the worst of judicial activism that ignored the needs of both Cameron and Nueces counties, Farenthold said he was pleased with the Supreme Court's decision to put the maps on hold.
The court will on Jan. 9 hear oral arguments for and against the maps in Washington, D.C. There is no timeline for a final ruling.
Farenthold, who serves on the House Transportation, House Government Reform and Oversight and House Homeland Security committees, defeated longtime incumbent Solomon Ortiz in 2010 to become just the second person to represent the 27th District on Capitol Hill.
Should the court place him in a position to seek re-election in the 34th District — an area where voters overwhelmingly lean Republican — Farenthold may face a crowded field of primary challengers, said campaign consultant, Steve Ray.
As of Friday afternoon, Rockport Republican Trey Roberts and Sealy Republican Marc Young had filed to challenge Farenthold along with Corpus Christi Democrat Murphy Junaid.
Ray did not rule out the possibility that Farenthold, a Corpus Christi native, may run in the 27th District.
"He's done great work for South Texas and we believe he could win in either district," he said.
Ray said the redistricting process has been a roller-coaster ride that Farenthold has weathered well.
"He's showing a lot of maturity to not knee jerk to every little order coming out of the courts," Ray said. "He's listening to advice and waiting."
There also is the matter of a Texas Election Code that does not allow candidates who file for federal office to reverse themselves later, Ray said.
Although Ray said he hopes officials will relax that law and extend filing deadlines beyond the current drop dead date of Dec. 15, he has no guarantee from state or federal officials that either scenario will play out.
"That certainly is weighing into our decision to wait it out a while longer," he said.

Great British Chefs search allows you to search for ingredients, recipes,
chefs and restaurants. Here are some examples:
Avocado is a versatile vegetable at the best of times, but is transformed into something completely different when turned into Guacamole.
In a blog post for Great British Chefs, Monica Shaw celebrates National Guacamole Day.
Photo by Monica Shaw
Avocado alone is a beautiful thing, but add to it a bit of lime, onion, cilantro, tomato and chilli and it becomes so much more. Yes, I'm talking about guacamole, and if there's any green blob of edible mush that deserves more recognition, it's this.
Today is National Guacamole Day, a fine excuse to rediscover this divine avocado dip that is so much more than a delivery device for corn chips and tacos. I've seen people put guacamole on burgers, eat it with fish, and a German chef I know even blitzes his with boiled egg and uses it as a dip for artichokes (though you could argue that the guacamole ceased to be guacamole when he added the egg to it).
Which brings me to my next point: what is the ultimate guacamole recipe? Most people agree that lime, cilantro, salt and pepper are essential, as is onion, but what type of onion? And do you add tomato and chilli? Well that depends on who you ask.
World-renowned Mexican chef Rick Bayless adds Serrano chillies and white onion, and recommends crumbled Mexican cheese and radish for garnish (is this necessary?). Lisa Fain of The Homesick Texan also includes Serrano chillies but omits the onion completely. Elise Bauer of Simply Recipes uses red onion, while food journalist Felicity Cloake reckons spring onions are the way to go.
In my world, the best guacamole is made with perfectly ripe avocados, not pureed but left chunky, full of chopped white onion, cilantro, tomato, a bit of salt and lots of lime juice and pepper. Were Serrano chillies and jalapeno peppers more available in the UK, I'd probably add those too.
But that's just me. How would you make the perfect guacamole? We're discussing this over on Great British Chefs' Facebook page. Plus Shaun Rankin has a great recipe for spicy chunky guacamole, which is simple & delicious.

What should America's energy future be, and how do we hammer out an environmentally conscious national energy security plan for the future?
It's spring commencement time, when tens of thousands of new graduates head out into the "real world." Here in Michigan, there have been a lot of public conversations about how we train our students for jobs in this state, how we keep talent from leaving and attract new talent, and what our universities can be doing to facilitate all of this. From the proposed Michigan 2020 plan by state Democrats to re-thinking the university corridor, there are a lot of ideas floating out there.
Michigan State University is offering adventurous members of its alumni association another chance to visit Cuba later this year. MSU Alumni Association (MSUAA) has announced its plans to return to the Caribbean island in November. The excursion follows an earlier visit in March that included chances to meet the Cuban people and explore museums, factories and other interesting places.
Today on Current State: film documentary on military sexual assault; alternative energy; the future for Michigan talent; and MSU Alumni Association tour of Cuba.
The U.S. military is facing a crisis of conscience. This week, the Pentagon released an annual report indicating the rate of rape and sexual assault by and against service members has risen significantly in the past year. Adding to the scandal is the arrest of the Air Force officer who previously led that branch's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response unit -- who himself was charged with sexual assault.

Bell County's Aaron Jenkins just might be the best defensive catcher in the 13th Region but Thursday he put his arm to use in a different way. Making his debut on the mound, Jenkins was nearly perfect in spinning a five-inning no-hitter in the Bobcats' 11-0 win over Claiborne, Tenn.
Jenkins struck out eight without allowing a hit or a walk and faced the minimum 15 batters in his gem. Bulldog Aaron Faulkner was hit by a pitch with one out in the second inning for Claiborne's only base runner of the game. He was erased as second baseman Jacob Rose fielded a grounder and tagged Faulker before throwing on to first to complete the double-play.
Junior Hayden Gilbert drove in three runs with a pair of singles to pace the Bobcats offense while Rose added an RBI triple for the game's only extra-base hit.
Caleb Smith, who finished with two singles, two RBI and a run scored, led off the Bell first by getting hit by a pitch and Jenkins walked. Dylan Cox followed with an RBI single for a quick 1-0 lead. Rose reached on a fielder's choice grounder to load the bases and, one out later, Gilbert delivered a two-run single. Austin North added an RBI single later in the inning to make it 4-0.
The second inning saw Cox single and come around to score on Roses's triple to the left-field corner. Gilbert singled to score Rose and it was 6-0 after two.
Jared Slusher walked and Devon Miller was hit by a pitch to start the third inning and North moved them into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt. Smith delivered an RBI single and Jenkins an RBI ground out to make it 8-0.
Bell Couty used the big lead to get some of their young players some work and they came through in the fourth. Jordan Wombles led off with a single and Ethan Mason was hit by a pitch ahead of Slusher's RBI single. Miller added an RBI ground out and, after Scotty Fields was hit by a pitch, Smith's RBI single set the final score at 11-0.
It was the fourth straight win for the Bobcats (9-5), they play at Leslie County on Friday.
