|2 - 4 nights
Properties owned by Crashing Waves Cabana Inc are extremely popular and are typically booked 95% of the year. Generally speaking vacation rentals with high occupancy rates tend to be the most well priced with the closest proximity to the beach and to downtown.
Crashing Waves Cabana LLC, welcomes you to Newport Beach, the most beautiful beach in California. Two houses from the sand and two house from the bay, this newly remodeled, 900 square foot two bedroom, one bathroom luxury condominium is ideally located west of Pacific Coast Highway and is a 15 second walk to one of the top rated beaches in the United States, according to the Men's Journal Magazine. Many celebrities have beach homes in the area, used to get away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood.
Some of the most exclusive hotels in the world have developed world class five-star resorts in our community to take advantage of this beautiful beach paradise. Having traveled extensively around the world, we worked diligently to think of everything you will need to have the best vacation ever, in a cost effective manner. We designed our home to be peaceful, romantic and yet cozy. The main living space offers beautiful Italian tile, a gourmet kitchen, artwork by local artists, a 50 inch plasma screen TV and very comfortable couches that turns into beds.
The kitchen has all of the utensils and appliances you will need to cook wonderful meals, and the dining area seats four.
The master bedroom offers gorgeous carpets, a queen-sized bed with finely appointed 500 thread count linens and a 42 inch big screen TV.
Our second bedroom also offers beautiful tile floors and a 42 inch flat screen TV/DVD. The bedroom has two twin beds that can be combined to form a King bed.
Our location is ideal, with everything you need close by. There are over 40 casual to upscale restaurants, boutiques and art galleries within a five minute stroll.
The world famous art colony, Laguna Beach, is a few miles to the South. The surfing capital of the US, Huntington Beach is a few miles to the north. Catalina Island is a 1-hour ferry .ride from our harbor. Compare our beautiful decor and family-friendly condo to any local hotel or vacation rental and we are confident you will want to stay with us. Our goal is to provide you an environment that will help to create wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
We are locals, live close by, and own 7-vacation rental units in the beach area. We love to meet the interesting people that stay in our homes, and are constantly updating our home to make it as comfortable as possible.
Jason Colaco purchased this condo in 2012
Newport Beach is a dream location, and I have dreamed of buying here for almost 15 years. We were finally in a position to do it, and jumped at the opportunity to buy this home. Its so close to the beach and bay, a short walk to great restaurants and shops. You really never have to get in a car once you arrive.
30 seconds to the beach 30 seconds to the sand 5 minute walk to the Balboa fun zone Amusement Park 5 minute walk to great restaurants and shops 20 minutes to Disneyland 60 minutes to Hollywood 60 minutes to San Deigo
Overall, unit C was well stocked with a surfboard, beach umbrella, blender, cable TV, high chair - everything you would need. We did like the car port, as off-street parking is a huge bonus around here. And the beds were pretty comfortable.
BUT... being on the bottom floor, below what appears to be the largest suite, we could hear everything from above. There seemed to be 10+ people staying in the unit above, and if you told me that they were playing beer pong with a bowling ball tossed into a hula hoop ring, I would have believed it. Also, the windows all had views that end in a neighbors fence or wall, so the actual ambiance of the space was rather uninspiring.
Thank you Jason!
The condo was great and didn't break the bank. It was just what we needed for the 4 of us and had everything we needed. Location is perfect, and having a parking spot off the street was nice.
We'll remember you for our next visit with family:):)
We stayed with our kids in December. The location of this unit was terrific with easy access to the beach. Although we had parking issues, Jason was easy to contact and helpful. The space was clean, although one couch very worn, and we appreciated the on site laundry. We experienced only a little noise from the upstairs unit. The kitchen had all we needed with a coffee maker, dishwasher and good sized fridge. The instructions for arrival and departure were helpful and timely. All good!
We stayed here for 2 weeks in October. Overall it was a pleasant stay but we too had issues with the fridge and ended up having to throw a lot of groceries that went bad. Saying that the owners were so onto everything we complained about and even offered to pay for the spoilt food. They sent a fridge repair man immediately and the fridge just needed defrosting due to an ice issue. We also complained about people upstairs making noise and the owner contacted the people straight away which is pretty impressive! Obviously this was out of the owners control. The unit was neat and clean, great for a family. The location is superb and perfect for a beach holiday. It could do with air conditioning but for the fantastic price we couldn't complain. I would stay there again if needed and really appreciate such fantastic flexible owners with great communication.
Perfect location and very accommodating set up. Had everything we needed.
Our experience was great! The condo is clean, comfortable, and within a short walk to restaurants, shops, etc. And of course, just across the street from the beach. The only thing this unit is missing is its own outdoor space/patio.
Perfect stay for our 1st Spring Break in California!

Before anything else: I know, I know, this isn't gear that guys can actually use for themselves, in the strictest sense of the word. Unless, you know, bras are your thing. But seriously, you know what these would be perfect for? Your girlfriend, your friends-with-benefits friend, or your wife, if you're already hitched.
The thing is, this Pokeball Bra is just too good of a find not to share. If you played Pokemon before and I'm assuming that you did, then you must know what the urgency to collect them all feels like. You won't be able to collect much aside from what's going to be filling up the cups of the Pokeball bra, although I assure you that they'll probably be more than enough. It won't be much of a surprise either, but I guarantee you that you'll like it.
These are customized underwear that are made to order by Etsy seller Neon Wonderland, who we assume is also the one modeling the rhinestone-encrusted bras.
Gift It: $70

IBIS Compton Mode Observations
January 7, 2013
This artist's impression provides a schematic view of how IBIS (Imager on-Board INTEGRAL Satellite) can reconstruct images of powerful events like gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using the radiation that passes through the side of INTEGRAL's imaging telescope. IBIS uses two detector layers, one on top of the other, while most gamma-ray telescopes contain just a single detector layer. In IBIS, the higher energy gamma rays can Compton scatter of the first detector layer (called ISGRI), losing some energy in the process, but not being completely absorbed. The deflected and now less energetic gamma rays then pass through to the layer below (called PICsIT) where they can be captured and absorbed by the PICsIT crystals. The blue-shaded part of the image describes the fully coded field of view of the instrument. IBIS can see around corners because gamma rays from the most powerful GRBs would pass through the lead shielding on the side of the telescope, then through the first detector layer before coming to rest in the second layer. The scatter locations in the two detecor layers and the energy deposits can then be used to determine the direction of the GRB.

Earlier this month Sir Chris Bonington receive one of the most prestigious awards in mountaineering: the Piolets d'Or Career. This lifetime achievement award is now in its seventh year, and was created to reward mountaineers whose achievements have inspired successive generations. Previous winners include Reinhold Messner, Walter Bonatti and Doug Scott.
Chris was honoured at the 23rd Piolets d'Or, which took place in Courmayeur and Chamonix in April.
Congratulations to Bob Pettigrew, who was awarded the BMC's George Band Award 2015 for Exceptional Voluntary Contribution to Mountaineering. The aim of the award is to recognise people who have made a significant voluntary contribution to the BMC's work over an extended period of time.

AC members and guests at the London Dinner generously donated a total of £1,400 for emergency relief in Nepal and this has been sent to the Disasters Emergency Committee's Nepal Earthquake Appeal.
The Club is now focussing its fundraising efforts to give long term support for the rebuilding of communities through CAN. Latest news of the situation is on their website at: Community Action Nepal. Any members who haven't yet donated or who would like to contribute further are encouraged to support their appeal.
Doug writes: "This couldn't have happened at a worse time since Nepal was just recovering from 10 years of the Maoist insurgency [civil war]. It is going to be a long haul, but as we know, you only climb a mountain after taking the first step and carrying on."

Dealer issue, being a baby or honest issue.
short version, all due bill parts were ordered incorrectly, mechanic joyriding in my new truck on a parts run, scratches on my truck and a service dept with a who gives a $hit attitude. read on for the sad details...
Took my new truck to the dealership today to satisfy my "due bill". It took 5 weeks for the dealership to get my running boards, bedliner, tow hooks and DVD system. Dropped the truck off this morning and the Service Writer Tim said that the truck would be ready by 3PM and he would call me. I told Tim that I would take my truck to the audio place myself to have the DVD system install because I didnt want anyone to drive my truck (outside the normal to and from the shop line to the shop).
I get a call at around 1:30 from tim telling the parts department had ordered the wrong tow hooks and he asked if I could leave the truck until tomorrow so they could finish everything up.
I said no, we were down to one car this week and I would need the truck today, no issue there. I get there at 4:15 and I look around the lot and my truck is nowhere to be seen, I ask Tim if my truck is ready and he said the Mechanic took it out for a "test drive", so my natural response was why does he need to test drive it...you didnt do any mechanical work to it. Just then I see the mechanic come back on the lot. I turned to Tim and asked him again, why he was T/D my truck, he said he wanted to make sure the bedliner was installed properly and wasnt vibrating or lifting.
So I look any my truck and I notice that the the running boards are three step boards and not the standard two step units for the CC 1500, then I tried to open the tailgate on my truck and the gate was jammed...
Turns out that the cover for the gate was the wrong one and didn't have the cut outs for the tailgate strikers.
So all of the parts that I waited 5 weeks for were ordered incorrectly, Im pissed at this point. I walk outside to get in my truck and leave to cool off and one of the Porters pulls a dirty car next to mine and starts to wash it sprays the entire side of my freshly detailer truck with water (hard water spots everywhere, will need to be completely clay barred).
So I get in the car and looked at the odometer and fuel gauge and.....
30 MILE ROAD TEST AND 1/4 OF GAS used, turns out the mechanic took my truck down the freeway to Memphis to buy a bedliner for my truck because the dealership ordered a quad cab liner instead of a CC liner and still got the wrong part!
So lets recap, waited 5 weeks for parts that were ALL ordered incorrectly, a joyriding mechanic on a parts run after the service writer was told no one was to drive my truck, and a 10" scratch in my rear passenger side door...
So I ask you, am I being a baby or would you be pissed off. Even if I didnt tell him not to drive it, would you think they would have called and asked me to take my car to a different city to buy partsor given me the option to wait for them to reorder the part? Here another gem, the truck I traded in was totaled the week after I traded it in by a manager that wasnt suppose to be driving it...
Oh and get this, the Mechanic changed my radio station, mirrors, and driving position...

Hackers Disrupt Burger King's Twitter Account
By editor
Originally published on Tue February 19, 2013 11:33 am
Good morning, I'm Linda Wertheimer.
Unknown hackers captured Burger King's Twitter account for more than an hour yesterday. They changed BK's bio, saying the company was sold to rival McDonald's because the Whopper had flopped. McDonald's sent the message: We didn't do it. The hackers did bring Burger King 30,000 new followers. BK recovered its account and tweeted: Interesting day.

Flap your arms. Get on your belly and push yourself up on to all fours. Rock back and forth. Back to your belly, lift your elbows and heels toward the ceiling. Roll onto your back and then to your belly. Keep rolling until you hit a piece of furniture or a wall. Tired yet? This isn't a new fitness regime. These motions were the buildup to my 7-month-old daughter crawling. She was ready to go, go, go. On Thursday she finally put all the pieces together — she's now crawling. And she's unstoppable. Like a wind-up toy (that never completely unwinds), she go, go, goes until she hits an obstacle and then turns and keeps going. I recently started running again, and it's just in time. Not only will the exercise help me shed some pounds, but I'm going to need the additional energy to keep up with my Baby Girl. If this Mommy is going to stand a chance, I need to go, go, go.Read more

Normally when bicyclists get together, the mood is festive and noisy. There is often a need for speed.
But on Wednesday, in cities all over nation -- and countries from Australia to Hong Kong to Brazil -- cyclists gather to ride in slow-moving silence. It is an annual and somber tribute to the thousands of riders injured and killed while sharing the road with motorists.
In Central Florida, the Ride of Silence takes place in Clermont at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, led by Sara McLarty and Lacey Nickell -- two young women, both cyclists themselves, whose fathers were killed pedaling along local roads.
The Ride of Silence is a free event that asks participants to ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent. There are no sponsors and no registration fees. In addition to honoring the fallen, it is an effort to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways.
The Clermont ride starts from...Read more
The League of American Bicyclists, founded in 1880, recently unveiled its 2015 rankings of bike-friendly states, communities and businesses.
The group annually ranks states on bike-friendliness based on such factors as bike-trail networks, bike parking, bike-education courses, vocal bike-advocacy groups and more.
Florida ranked 24th among states, with 15 bike-friendly communities, 14 bike-friendly businesses and one bike-friendly university.
Of the 15 communities statewide named bicycle-friendly, Lakeland, Orlando, South Lake County and The Villages made the list in Central Florida — all at "bronze" level except The Villages, at "silver" level. Higher ratings include gold and platinum.
Fourteen businesses statewide were rated unusually bike-friendly, with two returnees in Central Florida -- Out-Spoke'N Bike Shop of Lake Mary and Redmon Design Co. landscape architects of Maitland -- and newcomers to the list Bikes, Beans & Bordeaux Cafe of Orlando and The Cycling Hub of Clermont.

My 7-month-old daughter is amazed by the simplest things. Recently her attention was locked onto Mommy's belly. She giggled as she poked and kneaded the excess skin.
At first it was cute.
Then it was not.
My post-pregnancy exercise plans never came to be. I went for a short run when my daughter was 2 months old. The run was great, but I was an emotionally and physically drained first-time mom. The run only succeeded in wearing me down even more.
When my daughter was 4 months old I decided that I had been successfully balancing my return to work/baby for a month, so it was time to add exercise into the mix. Soon after I started my morning runs I managed to hurt my back. I'm sure the injury had more to do with the way I was carrying my ever-growing daughter then it did the running. But, either way, I had to hang up my sneakers.
While nursing my aching back, I managed to catch every sickness my daughter brought home from day care which further put me out of commission.
Now, as Baby Girl...Read more
From BetterDoctor.com comes yet another ranking of U.S. cities' bike-friendliness. This study scores cities based on the percentage of commuters who bike to work, bicycle fatalities and amount of federal funds dedicated to bicycle infrastructure.
Portland, Ore., unsurprisingly, was No. 1.
How many Florida cities made the cut? Just two: Miami was No. 8, while Jacksonville was No. 50.
What made Miami stand out? Oddly, it's for two things Orlando also has. According to BetterDoctor.com, "Miami has a strong bike culture, with a Critical Mass every single month. Miami has a Citi Bike bike-share program with a thousand bikes for locals and tourists to rent."
Well, Orlando also has a Critical Mass ride every last Friday of the month at 6 p.m. from Loch Haven Park. Orlando also has Juice Bike Share, which plans to grow to 20 stations with 200 bikes. (It currently has 13 stations.)
The Orlando area has many paved bike trails, such as the West Orange Trail, Cross Seminole Trail, Seminole Wekiva...Read more

Made me pay twice for the application. Now its displays weather animation in only 1/2 the screen space (central 1/2) on the Galaxy S 4 and the widget keeps crashing. The background photograph however is displayed in the whole screen???? The clocks are also not displayed as indicated in the sample pictures and only one city can be loaded at a time. WHAT A BLOODY WASTE !!!!!!!!!!!
(53 stars)
(53 stars)
Widgets look really good but doesn't always update to chosen frequency even with good data connection. Video background keeps switching off and the app crashes when you try and set it to video again. If these problems were solved it could be really good with more updates, eg touching the clock opens clock app, not time No date settings, and live wallpaper would be good
(53 stars)
Worked well but the last week it's constantly crashing while checking the forecast also video in background never works, update rating if n when their fixed!!
(53 stars)
Finally found a weather widget I want, but is not listed in the options. The large one with just today's weather. Refunded.

Whenever there is a situation where daycare child abuse is known to be going on, the most important thing that has to happen is an intervention by the authorities. Once it is stopped, however, there is an option for parent to sue, in some cases. These lawsuits generally allege negligence on the part of the daycare provider. You'll have to meet with a daycare abuse law firm to explore this option.

Bb tenderness comes and goes?

Adelyn Grace born June 7th 2013
You are still VERY early in your pregnancy. Try not to worry. I know it's hard not to analyze every little thing after a mc. My boobs have been sore off and on too and I'm 4w 2d. Do you mind me asking how far along you were with your mc's?

I'm 5w1d and my tenderness seems to come and go. It never goes away completely, but sometimes they are so tender just moving makes them ache and sometimes I can squeeze them and they only hurt a little.
With my first baby, my breasts were hardly tender at all :)

I keep having the same worry.... One minute they are so tender, touching them or even the towel rubbing them hurts so bad, the next day they are almost toally fine. It's the weirdest thing.
Good luck!
I have had zero breast tenderness so far with this pregnancy! Very minor nipple pain with my last pregnancy which I lost at 12wks. I completely understand the fear!

New Hampshire
Romney Took Florida, But the Real Prize Was Sheldon Adelson
January 31, 2012
In that moment just before New Hampshire, when it was briefly possible to imagine Jon Huntsman fighting deep into the primaries, New York magazine's John Heilemann made an astute observation. He pointed out that Huntsman's real audience on election night wouldn't be the country or the voters in other early states or even the political media. It would consist of exactly one person: Jon Huntsman Sr., the billionaire chemical magnate who, if the mood struck him, could take out his checkbook and completely upend the race. "An investment of, say, $10 million — a rounding error on the Huntsman Sr.
Newtonian Theory, Right And Wrong
January 31, 2012
Things are shaping up predictably enough in Florida today that I will venture my punditry in prebuttal form, like those congressmen who put out their responses to the State of the Union address long before it's been given. My aim now is not so much to look ahead to what comes after Florida as to correct some misinterpretations of the 2012 primary roller-coaster that I've seen floating around in recent days.
Doing It For the Gipper: Why Old People Could Be Newt Gingrich's Saving Grace
January 30, 2012
During the 1960 West Virginia primary, John Kennedy campaigned in tandem with Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. to claim that he—and not liberal stalwart Hubert Humphrey—was the rightful heir to FDR. The biopic shown at the 1992 Democratic Convention showcased difficult-to-locate footage of Bill Clinton shaking hands with JFK at the White House in 1963 as an Arkansas delegate to Boy's Nation. Even by these bygone standards of the-torch-is-passed iconography, it is hard to top the battle for Ronald Reagan's legacy being waged in the Florida primary.
Just Call Him Barack O'Tarmac
January 26, 2012
What is it with Barack Obama, contentious blonde political rivals and airport tarmacs? Obama's testy encounter yesterday with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer out on the blacktop at the Phoenix airport put me in mind of his famous showdown at Reagan National Airport with Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primaries.
The Guy Who Fires You
January 25, 2012
Randy Lavallee is a proud member of the American working class. A New Hampshire resident, he works as a calibration inspector for a jet-engine plant just across the state line in Maine. Four years ago, the plant went through a downsizing that resulted in the layoffs of one-sixth of its 1,600 workers. After the cuts, Lavallee told me, the "CEO and management got big bonuses." I met Lavallee, 58, recently in Rochester, New Hampshire, where he lives.
The Inheritance
January 25, 2012
It's not quite right to say that the hundreds of millions of dollars Mitt Romney amassed as a private equity baron were the cause of his South Carolina drubbing. But they didn't exactly help, either. Newt Gingrich trounced the former Massachusetts governor among just about every demographic group that might nurse a grudge against a slick quarter-billionaire.

Can Newt Repeat His Success in Florida?
January 22, 2012
After Newt Gingrich's smashing victory in South Carolina yesterday, here's my wagering advice: You can still put your money on Mitt, but don't bet the farm. Not this year. The results for Mitt Romney weren't pretty.
SC Was All About Romney's Weakness, Not Newt's Strength
January 21, 2012
The story of 2011 was that Republicans had a frontrunner they weren't in love with. Mitt Romney spent the entire year below 25 percent in national polls; a new Mitt alternative surged ahead of him every few weeks, only to collapse when it turned out he or she couldn't pass an eighth grade civics class. The pundits concluded from this that Romney's grip on the nomination was tenuous and that, even after his (apparent) Iowa win, the race was a lot less stable than it looked.

It might be too much to expect specifiers to get so excited about concrete that they'd crowd into your facility and climb on top of forms and forklifts to see your long-awaited demonstration of self-compacting concrete filling in voids around rebar inside a form without vibration. The fact that this scenario sounds so ridiculous speaks volumes about our industry's lack of marketing savvy.
The Aggregate & Ready Mix Association of Minnesota (ARM) is addressing this problem by launching a Web site (www.chooseconcrete.com) that's designed to educate the construction world and the public about concrete.
The site includes several links that provide quick access to basic information about concrete:

Museums to visit in Cape Town City Centre
Rob PetersCape Town is a cultural hub and where the history of the country really began, so you can bet we have plenty of both to offer visitors. The Mother City's history is rich – and at times tragic – and is has a number of world class museums that offer up a treasure trove to the past – both the good and the bad. A number of these museums are located in the city centre – all within walking distance of each other – and together offer a view as diverse and entertaining as the city itself.
Hello weekend: A tantalising food weekend in Cape TownThis past weekend was filled with many delicious meals. Not only was our Tastescape weekend and the Good Food and Wine Show, but it looks like everyone got out and about in Cape Town to experience what the various restaurants had to offer. Here's a look at some great Instagram food finds from this past weekend.

My Township Tour Experience in #lovecapetown

Excessive RSS for Xorg
I am trying to debug a problem in which the RSS of the Xorg process will hold constant for a long period of time, then it will start growing until we are forced to restart the X server (the machine has 2GB and the XServer will consume nearly all of it). We have not been able to reproduce the problem in our development or test systems, but have seen it in production (where the users are getting annoyed!).
When this last happened we ran xrestop and it did not report any significant memory usage (All was < 50MB). We tried closing all of the running applications and the RSS for X was still 750MB!
The machine configurations are RHEL4U4 with the Nvidia driver 1.0-9746, and each has 6 heads supported on an NVS440 and NVS285.
Does anyone have any ideas for how I can debug this problem? I tried a stress test by starting "x11perf -all" on each of the six heads, and although there is some other kind of bug that causes the Xorg to eventually become unresponsive (problem in X or in the Nvidia drivers??), I cannot reproduce the memory utilization problem. I looked at the output of Xorg.log (debuglevel 6) and the only notable entry was "not allocating video overlay" for the second, fourth, and sixth video devices. What does this mean?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Re: Excessive RSS for Xorg
I don't think that your interpretation of X's memory usage has any relationship to the X instability. I'd suggest reading the driver README's section titled "Why does X use so much memory?" and also:
Re: Excessive RSS for Xorg
I have read that portion of the README and I still believe that the X memory usage is growing. One of our systems is having the issue right now and the X11 RES size is 373MB, SHR size is 3Mbytes. I did a pmap on the "X" process and found a memory section that is 364056 Kbytes and is not marked shared (RHEL4 does not provide a "private" summary).
I looked at the same section in /proc/????/maps and found it marked as "p" for private.
Re: Excessive RSS for Xorg
Today I was able to attach gdb to the X process on a workstation experiencing the problem (this is somewhat difficult to arrange since these workstations are used 24X7). The memory section in question was over 300MB in size, marked private, and when I dumped out random blocks of the contents I could see no clear pattern. I did find in the first 4MB of the section the following strings:
and others, which are also in the nvidia driver. I am now trying to figure out my next step in diagnosing the problem.
Re: Excessive RSS for Xorg
Are your users running Firefox for long periods of time or with a lot of open tabs? That's the #1 reason for my home machine to cause X to suck up all my memory. Your best best might be to start killing X clients one by one, starting with Firefox, until the memory usage goes down to see what's using so many resources.
Re: Excessive RSS for Xorg
My users are using firefox, but closing applications does not significantly reduce the amount of memory used. In fact, when I did my gdb examination we had closed every user application accessing the X server! We also verified via xrestop that the X server did not show any user applications running.
I now am thinking through the hypothesis that one of our application is issuing some X calls with parameters that are causing the nvidia driver, or X itself, to leak memory. If this is the case, then we do not have sufficient test cases in our test environment to reproduce the exact conditions that expose this problem.
Re: Excessive RSS for Xorg
Today I ran Xorg under strace and can cannot see the mmap operations for the memory section that is growing (I can see the mmaps for the section right before it, though). From this I conclude that it is the nvidia device driver that is allocating this memory. Since I think I have exhausted what I can run down, I think we will get an ATI firemv board and see if the problem still happens.

Erin McLean facing jail for contempt
Defiance of court's child-sharing plan results in sanction
An attorney charged with ferreting out what's best for the McLean boys testified Monday that she took a don't ask, don't tell approach once finding the missing children.
"I was afraid (mother Erin McLean) would flee with them," Lisa White testified in 4th Circuit Court. "I felt like I was on a tightrope."
Just who knew where Erin McLean had fled with the boys and when was hotly debated at a hearing that ended Monday with the woman hauled off in handcuffs.
Judge Bill Swann ordered Erin McLean jailed for 95 days in large part for defying his February order giving her ex-husband, Eric McLean, equal parenting time.
There was no doubt at Monday's hearing that Eric McLean, who only spent 71 days behind bars for the shooting death of Erin McLean's teenage paramour, Sean Powell, was not allowed to see his children for seven months following Swann's order, until they were located in Austin, Texas, and returned to Knoxville. Erin McLean met Powell while she was interning at West High School.
There also was no doubt that Erin McLean had fled Tennessee with the children and a man she met at a psychiatric hospital in Nashville in September 2007, lived in two different locations in Austin with a young man she called a "helpmate," moved to Colorado, took a two-week trip to San Francisco and then moved back to Austin - all without allowing her ex-husband to see the boys or know where they were.
But there was plenty of doubt about whether the boys were missing at all.
White conceded that she met with Erin McLean and the boys as early as March. But she admitted she never notified Swann.
"If I had asked the court to set a court date, I would have lost the children if the mother chose to flee," White said after the hearing.
Erin McLean's attorney, Brandy Slaybaugh, alleged at Monday's hearing that Eric McLean's family were the first to track down Erin McLean in Austin, saying they tried to "snatch" the boys but failed.
"At no time did they not know where Ms. McLean was," Slaybaugh said.
Eric McLean confirmed in testimony Monday that his mother and sister went to Austin after criminal defense attorney Bruce Poston got a tip that the boys, ages 12 and 9, were there.
"I knew they went down in September or October 2007," he said of his relatives. "They were not successful."
Erin McLean, he said, had already fled to Colorado. White confirmed his testimony.
"I was told that she had been (in Texas) by Eric McLean and both his attorneys," White said. "She was already gone from there."
Eric McLean testified that his mother and brother-in-law eventually learned that his sons were in Colorado but again showed up too late to get an order seeking their return.
Attorney Steve Sharp, who represents Eric McLean in the custody battle, said he figured out in late September what schools in Austin the boys were enrolled in after their mother moved them back to the state, thanks to an off-hand remark by White about a school mascot and a Google search.
"We made our move when we had an opportunity," he said.
White herself used Google and Katie Allison Granju, a blogger whom she described in court records as a "mutual friend and/or acquaintance" of Erin McLean, to contact mother and sons. Granju later interviewed Erin McLean in a story published in the News Sentinel.
Slaybaugh blamed White for Erin McLean's failure to allow the boys to see their father during those seven months after eliciting testimony from White that she told the mother to hire a counselor for the boys before reuniting them with their father.
White insisted she was acting as attorney for the boys and urged Erin McLean to hire an attorney to advise her of her legal obligations.
Sharp argued that Erin McLean openly defied Swann's visitation order and should be jailed.
"This lady has thumbed her nose at this court," he said.
Swann agreed.
"Court orders have to be followed," he said.
Slaybaugh said after the hearing that Sharp was trying to scare Erin McLean away.
"If she has to sit in jail to show Judge Swann she's a competent mother, she will," Slaybaugh said, adding that she would file an emergency appeal today.

Dr Robin Hirst is the Director of Collections, Research and Exhibitions at Museum Victoria.
On Wednesday 18 September, Museum Victoria and the University of Melbourne launched the McCoy Project. This initiative will foster collaborative research between our two institutions, formalising a tradition that stretches back almost 160 years.
At the McCoy Project launch: (L-R) Dr Robin Hirst, Director, Collections, Research and Exhibitions, Museum Victoria; Susannah Morley, Research Collaboration Manager, University of Melbourne; Ms Christine Tipton, Business and Grants Manager, Collections, Research and Exhibitions, Museum Victoria; Professor Mark Hargreaves, Professor, Department of Physiology, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research Partnerships), University of Melbourne.

The McCoy Project is named after Irishman Fredrick McCoy, one of four inaugural professors appointed by the University of Melbourne in 1854. When he arrived, the newly-established National Museum of Victoria occupied a couple of rooms in the Old Assay Office in La Trobe Street.
McCoy was desperate to have the museum and its collections at the university in Carlton, despite fierce public opposition. McCoy had a victory when the University Council provided funds to build a museum wing on the north side of the Quadrangle. Now he just needed the collections.
In July 1856, McCoy took direct action and transported the contents of the museum from the city to the university. Melbourne society was outraged. The Melbourne Punch had a field day, and published a highly critical poem. It talks of McCoy, William Blandowski the museum's first curator, and Ferdinand von Mueller, the colony's botanist.
There was a little man, And he had a little plan, The public of their specimens to rob, rob, rob, So he got a horse and dray, And he carted them away, And chuckled with enjoyment of the job, job, job.
Blandowski's pickled possums, And Mueller's leaves and blossoms, Bugs, butterflies, and beetles stuck on pins, pins, pins, Light and heavy, great and small, He abstracted one and all – May we never have to answer for such sins, sins, sins.
There were six foot kangaroos, Native bears and cockatoos, That would make a taxidermist jump for joy, joy, joy, And if you want to know, Who took them you should go, And seek information from McCoy, Coy, Coy.
When one's living far away, Up the country dare I say, It's very nice to have such things at hand, hand, hand, Yet it don't become professors, When they become possessors, Of property by methods contraband, band, band.
Caroon titled 'The successful foray: or the professor's return'Source: Melbourne Punch, 14 August 1856
McCoy's museum outgrew the space in the Quadrangle, and he had a new National Museum building erected on adjacent land (where Union House now stands). The public were gradually persuaded to make the trip to the 'country' to visit the thriving new museum and its big new exhibitions. And so the progenitor of Museum Victoria remained on University of Melbourne turf until McCoy died in 1899, when the authorities moved everything back to a city site - the State Library building.
With this shared history in mind, the university and the museum held a workshop in September 2012 to explore how we might work more closely together for our mutual benefit. From that sprang the Research Discovery Day in May 2013, where 100 researchers gathered to look at our collections and discuss research projects. Their enthusiasm was palpable and the McCoy Project was born. Its first initiative, the McCoy Seed Fund, will help get new collaborative projects off the ground.
The McCoy Project
Dr Robin Hirst joined the Museum in 1981 to manage the H V McKay Melbourne Planetarium. He was given the task of leading the development of the Exhibitions and Programs for Scienceworks. He is now Director of Collections, Research and Exhibitions at Museum Victoria.
The morning of 28 March 1992 was one the weary crew had worked towards for five years. We hoped that people would venture deep into the heart of industrial Spotswood to appreciate the new kid on the block, Scienceworks, our science and technology centre.

The sight of long queues of excited families waiting for the doors to open made me feel both elated and apprehensive. This was the day we were to hand our creation to the public for their use and delight. This was the day for the locals to be admitted free of charge as a test run. When the doors opened that morning the crowd ran in. Like bargain hunters at a Myer sale, each vied to be the first at every exhibit.
With Boyce Pizzey, the Director of Science and Technology, we had conceived Scienceworks, designed the building, installed the exhibitions and planned how the place would operate. We spent many an hour in smoke-filled rooms challenging and being challenged. We crafted a new visitor-centric experience for families and school children. We thought it would work, but we didn't know. It was so new and seemed so far from the city.

The night before, we had the official opening with still much left to do at the crack of dawn the next day to be ready for the public.

The exhibits did suffer that day and many nocturnal emergency repairs were carried out. The crowds the day after were even bigger. In many ways Scienceworks has continued the way it began very much loved.
As Scienceworks turns 21 we can feel proud of what we gave birth to. Happy birthday.

All India Trade Union Congress deplores decision to close down Begumpet airport
HYDERABAD: Trade unions in the country would not take the increasing privatisation and disinvestment lying down and were getting ready to launch a sustained agitation, said Gurudas Dasgupta, MP and general secretary, All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) on Friday.
He was speaking to presspersons after a meeting at the Begumpet airport by members of Airports Authority Employees' Union (AAEU) to protest against privatisation of airports.
`No difference'
The MP said the UPA Government was not "too different from its predecessor, the NDA." The economic and labour policies were undergoing further changes, affecting the interests of theworking classes. The `hollowness' of UPA's claims had been exposed on several counts, he said. Import of foodgrains had proved how wrong its agriculture policy was.
Mr. Dasgupta lashed out at the disinvestment policy, citing the Cabinet's decision on Wednesday to disinvest 10 per cent stake of the Government in the National Aluminium Company Ltd., 15 per cent in National Mineral Development Corporation and in nationalised banks.
The much-touted National Rural Employment Generation Programme, he said, was a failure because of poor allocations.
Chandrasekhara Rao, AITUC State General Secretary, and AAEU national president S.R. Santhanam participated in the talks. Mr. Santhanam said it was a pity that Government wanted to close down the Begumpet airport that had Rs. 800 crore of asset value and posted revenue of Rs. 11 crores every month.

Digital dessert – the Cricut Cake Printer
November 24, 2010
Modern technology has advanced so quickly, so why shouldn't it also advance our cake decorating skills. The Cricut Cake printer will do just that ... and it might inspire a new wave of neighborhood cake competitions and children's parties. The printer is designed to make cake decorating as simple as printing a piece of paper, but instead of using paper and ink, it cuts shapes, words, motifs and decorations into frosting sheets, cookie dough, modeling chocolate and soft candies.
There is no need for a computer, all you need to do is choose your letters or shapes and press cut and the printer will do all the work. Then simply peel away the cut shapes and start decorating.
There are step-by-step directions and creative programs included to help you map out your next cake designs, cupcake collection or even creative Mexican Tortilla party.
The current collection of printers includes; the original Cricut Cake, Cricut Mini (a smaller and cheaper version) and the Martha Stewart Cricut. All three printers come with food cutting cartridges, 12 inch x 12 inch food-safe cutting mat, stainless steel cutting blade, keypad protector, quick start guide, instructional DVD, cleaning guide and a 1 year limited warranty.
The Cricut Cake Printer is priced at US$399.99.

could i order round shaped carrot?David Yuan
The problem with CriCut cutters is they\'re limited to cutting what\'s in the pre-programmed cartridges, which are expensive.
To buy a decent selection of CriCut cartridges costs thousands of dollars. They do have a computer program for some models, but it can only direct the cutter to cut what\'s available in the cartridges. It can do layout with any of the available designs and fonts but to actually cut them you have to plug the cartridge with those designs and fonts into the cutter.
Spend a bit more for a computer controlled cutter and software that can send anything you can design to the cutter instead of being handcuffed to only what the manufacturer allows and charges big money for.Gregg Eshelman

DALLAS What a difference a drought makes.
Even upscale homeowners are now embracing the once unthinkable notion of fake grass.
My husband suggested it. I said, 'Absolutely not! I don't want a putting green,' recalled Leslie Adkins. I don't want plastic in my yard. Forget it!
That was before Adkins saw the latest in artificial turf. This is not your granddad's Bermuda.
Adkins has a showplace backyard in Arlington's Interlochen neighborhood. She says it used to be a perpetual mess, so she tried artificial turf.
It's so maintenance-free, Adkins said. Environmentally-friendly. It's saving water. It's really wonderful.
She was so happy with the turf installed last year that she bought more this year.
While this summer has hammered traditional landscaping, artificial turf installers suddenly find themselves very popular.
We're starting to get a lot more phone calls now, said landscape architect Richard Barnor of ForeverLawn.
He said the new turf is made of recycled materials that drain instantly and are perfect for pets.
Synthetic Grass Pros of Lewisville have added an extra crew to keep up with demand. They just finished their biggest residential job ever, covering the front and back lawns at an expensive home in the town of Parker.
Some home owners associations still don't allow it.
They still think it's the old AstroTurf, said installer Bill Dvorak.
Hardly. Top of the line realism can cost about $12 per foot installed, but maintenance is zero.
This pays for itself within the first three to four years, Barnor said. And our guarantee is good for eight years. And the grass will last 12 to 15 years.
Some experts say it can last up to 20 years.
Although it can be expensive, her faux lawn is saving Leslie Adkins money. Parts of her yard had to be re-sodded four times in the last nine years because of drainage and shade issues.
Now it's lush, bug-free, maintenance-free, and drains perfectly.
People don't realize it's turf, Adkins said. They come in and say, 'What do you fertilize with? It's so green.' And I say, 'I don't even water it.'
She says her neighbors are now considering the same option as they struggle to save their lawns in the face of tighter water restrictions.
